[PHP] PHP_AUTH_USER failing, please help me...
I just built a new server and loaded with RH8. I copied my php files over
to the new apache server and modified the links. I couldn't find any
mention of php in the httpd.conf so I figured it must me compiled into httpd
so I tested it. The PHP files load, however, the php_auth_user and
php_auth_pw don't work. They prompt the user yet with :
if (isset( $PHP_AUTH_USER ) && isset($PHP_AUTH_PW)) {
echo $PHP_AUTH_USER;
echo $PHP_AUTH_PW;
} if ( ! $auth )
{
header( 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"' );
header( 'HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized' );
echo 'Authorization Required.';
echo $PHP_AUTH_USER;
echo $PHP_AUTH_PW;
echo "OK?";
exit;
}
else
{
echo $PHP_AUTH_USER;
echo $PHP_AUTH_PW;
}
The prompt comes up and asks for a password three times. After the three it
prints... Authorization Required.OK?
So it appears as though it is not returning the variables. The php version
is 4.2.2 and apache is 2.0.4 (redhat).

Just a quick guess that register_globals is probably turned off (check
with a phpinfo() to be sure) and therefore $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW
are not being set.
Or, try $_SERVER[PHP_AUTH_USER], etc...

[PHP] apache httpd-2.0.40-8 and scanning alternate extensions for php
I just moved to a machine with RH8 that has their latest version of apache. On prior versions httpd.conf had a section that I could set to have the server scan .html extensions for php tags. There is no longer such a section even though the server does appropriately scan .php files. Does anyone know how I can have it scan different extensions? Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.

Perhaps the new version doesn't need the AddType for the default extension of php because it worked without this declaration. However, the declaration works as I added it and restarted the server. It now works as I needed. I thank you for your help. I suppose I should have tried this before posting the question. Sorry to have wasted your time.

I > get multiple updates with the same information in my database... Hello! You can prevent it multiple ways. Two common solution: - When creating form, add a unique id to it in a hidden field. After succesful insert put that id into a container table, what stores used ids. Before inserting, check the presence of that id in that container. You can make unique ids with php's uniquid() function, or if mod_unique_id compiled into Apache, you can use $_SERVER['UNIQUE_ID'] too. Store expire dates too with that ids to be able delete old ids with a cronjob. - Another way: this is easier, but not too elegant. After inserting data, send a location header to browser to redirect it from that form-processor page to an another. After that, refreshing affects that page.

[PHP] paging through results of mysql query
I know I'm trying to re-invent the wheel, but it is because I don't know how they do it. I set up a script to pull a ruleset from mysql and then loop through each row in the set. I then check each row as it loops until I get to the row number I want and start echoing rows. I create the row numbers by a $m=0; outside the loop; $m++; inside the loop. Then I stop echoing rows when it reaches 50 iterations. The total iterations achieved is passed on to the next script that does the same thing but starting where the total left off. This causes a lot of overhead as all of the resultset are pulled for each script. Does anyone have a magic bullet for this? This functionality is what I take search engines to be demonstrating.

RE: [PHP] frustrating problem
I'm not sure what syntax would work for you with one query. You might try
the mysql list. I personally make two queries. One would be a query to the
foo table to get the name and the second would be a loop to iterate through
each contact info entry. For each iteration you will get the array with the
individual FooContactID and when you post from that looped result you can do
your update if it needs to be done etc. I hope that makes sense.
$query = "select FooLName from foo where FooID=$id";
$queryr = mysql_query($query) or die("Failed Foo");
$frow = mysql_fetch_row($queryr);
echo $frow[0].": ";
$query2 = "select FooPhone, FooEmail from foocontact where FooID=$id";
$query2r = mysql_query($query2) or die("Failed FooContact");
$n = 0;
while ($fcrow = mysql_fetch_row($query2r))
{
$n++;
echo $n.". ".$fcrow[0]." ".$fcrow[1]."";
}
That's off the top of my head. I think that's how I'd do it. I would
imagine you wanted separate tables so that one person could have multiple
addresses. Again I might have a typo or two in there. Just to give you an
idea.

Subject: [PHP] frustrating problem
I hope that I can explain this problem in a logical and clear way.
In MySQL, I have two tables for information::
foo, which contains
FooID, FooLName, FooFName
and
foocontact, which contains
FooID, FooContactID, FooEmail, FooPhone, FooAddress1, etc.
Honestly, I can't remember why I split up the names and contact info into
two separate tables, but that's the way it is...
In the first hundred or so entries of foocontact, FooID and FooContactID are
identical (both columns are auto-increment). But because I've occasionally
had problems loading data into the database, and have had to reload some
entries while delete or forgetting to delete others, the numbers are now out
of synch. For some entries, that doesn't seem to be a problem (I might have
fixed them by hand at an earlier date, but I can't remember), but for
others, it might be.
That may not matter, though. What I'd like to do is call up info from both
foo and foocontact using only the FooID, which is passed in the url.
I can't understand, though, why the where clause in the folllowing line
isn't working the way I want it to:
SELECT FooLName, FooPhone, FooEmail
FROM foo, foocontact
WHERE foocontact.FooID=$FooID and foo.FooID=$FooID;
I've also tried:
WHERE foocontact.FooID=$FooID and foo.FooID=foocontact.FooID;
any idea why that doesn't work? does any of this make sense? sorry if it
doesn't, and thanks in advance for your help.

RE: [PHP] Forwarding POST info from a PHP script
There is probably a better way but what I do is create hidden fields in the
form of the first page and populate it with the variable I need to go on to
the next one. Ie for variable a, b, c, d coming to the first page...
[Do something with some or all of those variables here]
echo "";
echo "";
echo "";
echo "";
echo "
echo "
That is what I usually do because I don't know of a better way. So if you
don't find one you can always resort to that. And if you need these to move
on automatically by telling another frame window what the variables are
while this one is still visible, you can use javascript to send variables to
other frames. That is out of the scope of this message and I'd have to look
up the syntax for that, but it is definitely possible.

version of the site.
e.g.:
http://www.redradish.co.uk/rr/index.htm (frames based site)
http://www.redradish.co.uk/php/framesprocessor.php?Frameset=http://www.redra
dish.net/rr/index.htm&RenderMethod=1&MainFrame=main&AllHead=1
(the same site
rendered as single page).
The problem is that if in the frames-based site one of the frames is a form
submission, I need to be able to send this data to the original form and
retrieve the output to display in the rendered page.
e.g.
http://www.redradish.co.uk/php/framesprocessor.php?Frameset=http://www.redra
dish.net/rr/index.htm&TargetName=main&Target=http://www.redradish.net/rr/con
tact/contactF.htm&MainFrame=main&RenderMethod=1&LinkSearch=1&AllHead=1&Debug
=1
(this is a page that has a contact form).
I can't find any information on how to forward such a request.
The script in question is located at:
http://www.redradish.co.uk/php/framesprocessor.php
It uses these variables (passed using GET or POST):
Frameset frameset page. This needs to be parsed and a static HTML page
created.
Target (optional) full URL of page to be displayed in frmae named
TargetName.
TargetName (optional) name of the frame that $Target should appear in.
MainFrame (optional) is the frame from which header info, etc. is
taken.
Default is first frame.
AllHead (optional) If set (is 1 or more), copies content from all
frames.
RenderMethod (optional) defines how the frameset is to be represented:
1 - All frames dumped into new page in order they appear in
frameset.
2 - tables are used to attempt to recreate original format
Default is 1.
LinkSearch (optional) how links are replaced:
1 - Only specific tags are replaced
2 - Anything within quotes (' or ") that contains document path is
replaced
Default is 1.
Debug If set (greater than 0), debug info is added in comments.
It works to a good degree on most frames-based sites, but does have a couple
of failings (such as the one mentioned) that I would like to overcome.
The other problem is handling JavaScript in e.g. . There is no way to process JavaScript in
PHP that I am aware of - does anyone have a workaround for this? i.e. so
that my script can process the JavaScript function and retrieve the relevant
page for inclusion in the rendered page.
Hope someone can help!
Thanks.
Dave

RE: [PHP] Re: Need a suggestion on developing a php-related system
>From the remark about the arrival and departure time scenario, it sounds like you want to show whether the updates occurred and when they began/ended. If this is accurate, you should find out whether the scripts used to populate those databases record that information for the database it is updating. If so you need to create a script that opens each database and queries that data. If they do not record these things you could either modify them to do so or you could have them also connect to a central db that you create to store this collection of data to show beginning and ending of the scripts. I think either way you should store this in your own db. Is this along the lines of what you had in mind? Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.

Just a thought, set your form to use the get method so that you can see exactly what the php page is receiving. Then before any of your existing code put the first line to "echo $variable;" without the quotes and using one of the variables being sent and visible in the url. The page should then at least show that one variable. If that doesn't work there is some problem with the install I would imagine. Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.

RE: [PHP] checking status of a HTML checkbox
Also look at empty(). I don't know if the $_POST array will send the key if
it as no variable. I know on a regular post it does send the variable, but
it has no value. I have used isset with just receiving post data and got
strange results. On one I had an isset statement that ran a result that
bypassed some code. When is submitted the form I got results as if the
isset was being executed and the code was skipped. Just to make sure this
was the case, I added echo "hello"; on the first line of the isset bypass
coding and after running the script I got the results without the bypass. I
took the hello back out and it bypassed! So adding the hello statement
affected whether isset gave a positive or negative response. The variable
isset was checking in this case was not being sent with a value. I changed
to empty() and got the result I was looking for. If $_POST sends the key
but not a value when you submit the form without a value assigned to the
variable then isset may not always work.

RE: [PHP] session_destroy problem
Question...Do you know if Mozilla runs a browser instance that might handle the process after one of the browser windows is closed? Right now the situation is that IE closes the session when the window that opened it closes. I have a site that is authenticated and then runs sessions on the authenticated user. If you close the browser window and open another one, you are prompted for the login and password and have your new identity/session. On Mozilla if I close the window actively on the site and have other windows up on other sites I can open another Mozilla instance and return to the site and it still has my session open and identity. I have to close every Mozilla instance for the session to close. If Mozilla is run by one central process I would think maybe it could do this onwindowclose behaviour?

RE: [PHP] checking status of a HTML checkbox
My apologies for deficient terminology. I define a "regular post" as the
original with globals on and the
somewebpage.php using the variable sent without using $_POST. But I bet you
already knew that :) You asked for the code...
My first page has ...
...
echo "";
echo "";
?>
- -
...
my second page has...
...
if(isset($SSN1) )
{
header( "Location:
".$site."newplace.html?SSN1=".$SSN1."&SSN2=".$S
SN2."&SSN3=".$SSN3."");
}
...
End result being that if they used the text input they would continue with
the second page, skipping the new header. I could put a value in the text
and leave SSN alone and get sent to the new header. If I put a value in
SSN1 I would go to the new header. If I put the echo "hello"; before the
header line and leave use the search text box leaving SSN1 blank I would not
get the new header. If I used the SSN1 I would get hello and then an error
message that the header had already been sent which is what I expected.
However, upon removing the hello line again, it went right back to sending
the new header whether SSN1 was used or not. Changing the if to reflect
if($SSN1 > 0) it works as intended except that some SSN's have leading 0's
for their first 3 digits so I am about to use empty(). The > 0 was a quick
fix since they needed to use it immediately.
PS you'll have to contend with "..." as these scripts 242 and 409 lines
long respectively. I can assure you that the form is properly closed on the
sending page though.

What's a "regular post" anyway?
Well, the key is passed even when there's even though the field might be
empty.

I really doubt that browsers doesn't run the code that is in unload event of
the page because the window is closed. That would be a very bad thing. Isn't
it what the unload event is for? I mean to run code when the page is
unloaded, it doesn't matter if the window is being closed or the user is
going to another page. I think the browser should finish all the opened
window's unload code and only after that close the application really.
I made a quick test for it:
function wait(msec){
var enter_date = new Date();
var enter_time = enter_date.getTime();
var leave_date = new Date();
var leave_time = leave_date.getTime();
while (enter_time + msec > leave_time)
{
leave_date = new Date();
leave_time = leave_date.getTime();
}
alert('unload test');
}
unload test

For those who don't mind working with Javascript I have found a method of maintaining the sessions to a minimum length. According to the Javascript list there is no way to get the url of the site the user is going to next so there is no way to tell if the onunload is due to a site change or the movement from one page on your site to another. So here is my solution... When the user logs on they are given a code that is derived from the time of login. Each pages checks that the decoded number results in a time of less than 8 hours from login. If it is greater than 8 they are just prompted to re-login. There will be a database entry for each time a page is loaded by the same user. This time is checked periodically, every 5 minutes should do. If they have not loaded a page in the last 5 minutes the session is removed. Now, each page that does not post anything will have a refresh set to 3 minutes so that people that have their browser set to the site in the background while they work on other programs etc. won't get kicked off. This has just been arrived at to solve the session destroy problem but it looks like it will work. I also don't know what this would do to a high volume site either but for me it should be workable. I hope this helps some. Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc. (727) 723-8388 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] emacs and php markup
Does anyone out there use emacs and are proficient in customizing it? I love the highlighting it does while working on .php files.

OK I'm looking for a solution that could do the following. We require to generate PDF files that can then be emailed or printed & posted to clients. I can create PDF Files from scratch using PDFLib. What we will require to do though is, we presently have paper copies of forms from various parties we deal with, our present Access-based system simply prints on top of these, I am presently developing in PHP a system to replace the Access database, we will want it to create these as PDF files (we can get the printed forms in PDF format) based on supplied PDF files... for example, generate a PDF for Customer X based on Supplier Z's PDF file. Any solutions in PHP (open source, free, commercial etc etc.) would be very much appreciated, or if we need to look at another Language to perform this part of the solution (i.e. ASP). The solution I'm developing is PHP, running on a Windows 2000 Server as we require use of some windows-only software too.

RE: [PHP] PHP Encoders and GPL License
I just want to clarify this for myself. My impression was that the affects of GPL requiring software developed from the original GPL to also be free was only applicable to modifications of the program itself. So if php was GPL and I modified the source and built my own customized version of php I couldn't sell it but could only give it away, but if I used php to develop some other software that runs on php I could sell it without a problem. Similar to creating software that runs on Linux, the software can be sold but if I modify Linux itself and turn around and sell it, it would be against the license. Is this accurate? Larry S.

[PHP] dreading OOP
I hope this is not too far OT, however, you are the best resource I have for PHP and if anyone would know, it would be you guys. I have been writing scripts off and on for the past year and have an application written in PHP for a business' internal use. I have used snippets of Object oriented code from other people here and there to get by and I have read information on OOP in a couple of different places. However, my mind apparently works different and I keep trying to relate the OOP structure to what I already know which equates an object to a function. I am resolving to purchase a book dedicated to instruction in the inns and outs of OOP. Specifically at it relates to PHP would be great but my emphasis is towards something that teaches someone that is stubborn in his reliance on previously learned methods. I hope this makes sense and I'm not alone on this. :) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.

RE: [PHP] dreading OOP
The only reason I feel the need to expand my understanding is that I have to learn other concepts to produce my client's solutions. For instance I am now being asked to use SOAP to communicate with a vendor of his. Now I am reading about SOAP and frequently the descriptions rely on the reader's understanding of OOP. I can individually scrutinize a description and break it down to its elements. Then I can picture what is being said, but without having used those methods in my code, it is frustrating reading. I don't know that SOAP is in and of itself OOP but people that write about it use OOP based consepts to exlain what is happening. And this is one example.

RE: [PHP] MAC address user recognition?
One other thing you could do is simply set up SSL with your own certificate so that it will encrypt the connection and then run code via JAVA or some other client side applet that will get the MAC address from the client machine directly. You can then check the MAC against the addresses allowed. Since the connection is encrypted nobody knows that that is what you are checking. Of course there is still a potential for someone that you previously allowed access to find out how you are identifying them and use it against you later on, but there are also problems with identifying someone by their computer unless they keep the computer locked in a closet while they are away. I guess it depends on what you are protecting. National secrets etc. By the way, open SSL with self signed certs is a free method but it is not a good idea if you are needing to verify your credentials to the person coming in. Larry S.

[PHP] deciperhing oop
Can someone who is used to using php oop help me figure out why this fails?
I know there are probably a thousand classes already designed to do this and
probably 100 times more efficient, but this is how I learn. From what I've
read this should work but there is obviously something I'm missing.
Quick problem description:
Trying to set up class to connect to mysql db. Already used a procedural
test successfully connecting to db. Error is displayed as...

Code:

var $machine;
var $port;
var $user;
var $password;
var $query;
var $result;
var $dbase;
var $db;
var $sel;

}
}
}
$dbn = new dbConnect("localhost","3306","bob","hjhyt4kl5");

So why can't I use $db? Isn't the statement $this->db=$db making it
available to the setDbase function?

You don'y say which cell has the problem but, apart from placing the closing
td right after the image try to move the closing form tag out from the
table. At least in IE, _allways_ produces that extra space no matter
what you do unless you use style sheets to set the form's bottom-margin
yourself.

I presented this problem in my Javascript mailing list and on the RedHat mailing list and no one seems to have had any experience dealing with it and consequently I haven't a work around.

On if statements, I periodically don't want anything to happen if the
requisite is not met. In most cases just writing the statement in the
format if (this) { do that; } and nothing more will work. However, I
periodically get weird results with this and found the only fix was to do
a... if (this) {do that;}else{"echo "";}
I try using continue in the else but get errors about using continue on
level 1 or something to that affect. I'm assuming that continue is only
used in loops.
It's amazing how far I can code things without these little "foundation
level" bits of information ;-)

[PHP] IE Pagelength issue
I am running into a strange problem. I have a script that parses a database for results. It cycles through the data one record at a time looking for matches to the query. Up til now I haven't had any problems as the results have been limited in length. Now I have one that has a significant length and the bottom is cut off on IE6.

[PHP] mysql field getting cut off
If anyone can help I seem to be stuck on a problem getting a mysql field inserted correctly. For instance the first page would have a field such as... info that is placed into the field is "St. Petersburg, FL" (without the quotes) the php code for the statement... $query = "insert into table values( $variable, '$field', $variable2 )"; This is where there are 3 fields in the "table" and the second is the one I want populated with "St. Petersburg, FL". It ends up with "St." (I'm not sure if the period makes it). I have verified that the entire statement arrives at the php script in the variable $field and I have used the mysql client to give the same command with "St. Petersburg, FL" as the value and it accepts it without a problem.

That, indirectly, is exactly what happened. I have a subsequent screen for modifying the results.

RE: [PHP] IE Pagelength issue
Example is a page that displays the concerts and bands at each concert for a given spectator. Table one gives information on the spectator and has a field that lists the concert events he/she has been to. Table two lists concerts along with location information and date along with bands and then another table that lists band information. There are several loops, the first one is "while $spectator..." and within it a "while $concert..." and within it a "while $band..." So the resulting page can have user information then a list with concert bands, concert bands, concert bands, for each he/she has been to. The one we are having a problem with has 27 concerts and IE stops at 25 and Mozilla goes all the way to the 27th. I will try and split each concert into its own table. Just as a not each concert listed gives the option to edit the concert information and a way to edit the band information in addition to removing any one of them.

Probably and IE "feature" of only being able to handle a certain table size. The "way around" it would be to end the table and start another every so many rows... or split your rows up into Prev/Next pages...

[PHP] Pause for user input?

The idea is to have the script start to load, prompt for a question or more, then use the data from the response to complete loading the page and avoid having to post all of the variables from page to page to get all of the responses back.

RE: [PHP] Pause for user input?
I understand that the Javascript will not pause the page from loading; however, it should, like you stated, modify the page and hence change what the client is seeing interactively which could include hiding/revealing different questions based on their input. This should ultimately present a form with answers to those customized questions without traversing a number of pages. I only asked the question hoping there was a method of accomplishing this that I wasn't aware of in PHP. It is understandable that it would not be possible server-side, but I figured I would check with the gurus. Thanks, Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.

But, whether it's Java or Javascript, you cannot really pause/stop the browser then do something to "complete loading the page." (Unless you press "stop"--but this would require you to reload.) Anyway, Javascript (if you're referring to it) doesn't have that kind of function (AFAIK). Javascript can hide/unhide element on your form. It can also enable/disable a checkbox, for example. But those functions would only work AFTER the page is already loaded--and _not_ while it is loading. (Also, *after* the Javascript file--if you're using and external one--is already downloaded inside the your visitors' disk, etc.) - E PS BTW, Javascript (support) can be turned off by your visitors--maybe you already know that... And... not all browsers supports Java. (But then again, you don't even need a browser to run Java!

[PHP] PDFlib not working with explorer based on PHP created file in memory
If anyone can help, please...
I have a page that points to a PHP page that dynamically creates a pdf file
using PDFlib. The page uses a link such as
site.com/page.php?variable=value. That in turn executes the script that
uses the variable/value to pull info from the db and generate the page. The
result is that when you click the link you are prompted to save or open the
document. By openning the document you are presented with the pdf by
acrobat. This is seemless with Mozilla. However, on IE it hangs with the
message "Getting File information:". If you try to save it you get another
error. I have read some information indicating that the problem is with the
length parameter not being sent. However, the page I'm using was off an
example someone provided and it already has what seems to be the fix for
page length. The code that creates the file is as follows...
$p = PDF_new();
if(PDF_open_file($p, "") == 0) {
die("Error: ".PDF_get_errmsg($p));
}
...body goes here...
PDF_end_page($p);
PDF_close($p);
$buf = PDF_get_buffer($p);
$len = strlen($buf);
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: $len");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=filename.pdf");
print $buf;
PDF_delete($p);
Again, this is only a problem with m$ IE. I know this is one of the largest
toolkits (PDFlib) in use for creating well defined printable documents so I
can't believe that this is not a common problem or that I am doing something
really wrong.
Someone on PDFlib's mailing list once mentioned sending the document for
download via "chunks" instead of getting the length except he wrote
something in C/C++ to accomplish it in his app. Is there some way to tell
the browser to accept via "chunks" in php? Does the above header look right
for IE?

If I close the browser thus ending the session and reopen the browser and log in, the script fails to remove the temp table since it hasn't been created yet (and must have been removed). I changed my method of connecting to use mysql_connect instead of mysql_pconnect and removed the drop temp sql and it loads and reloads fine.

[PHP] nusoap
Does anyone here have any solid experience with nusoap? Their list has low volume and I am finding it difficult to find any useable examples or descriptions of real life uses and how to configure the server/client. In particular I'm currently trying to figure out the correct syntax to produce wsdl using "$server->wsdl->addComplexType(..." to describe an array of the form... array([0]=>343454[1]=>SMITH[2]=>BOB[3]=>1969-03-17[4]=>234343444[5]2003-11-11 13:23:02) where data types are string,string,string,date,string,datetime It appears that the complexType would be a struct although this is actually an array.

[PHP] mysql load_file retreival

set up a script with "select field from db where id=$id" and used
mysql_query followed by mysql_fetch_row and did echo header("Content-type:

fetched. I get the prompt to open with pdf but pdf fails. I have
magicquotes on but I understand that the load_file() function within mysql
does the escaping etc. How can I "un-escape" the data? The only thing I
saw on the mysql manual is on how to use load_file_infile/load_file_outfile
which does not apply to this. Can someone lend a hand here?

RE: [PHP] mysql load_file retreival
Thanks for the help. I went through a troubleshooting phase that started
with writing the raw data from the mysql client to disk. Checking the size
it was apparent that it was much too small. I tried running my script with
a smaller pdf and it worked. It turns out that blob has a max of 64k. A
tad small for general use for holding graphics. I changed to a mediumblob
which is either 12 or 16 meg, I'm not sure off the top of my head now but,
that is plenty for my needs. I did end up changing the behaviour of my

the file on upload, base64 encoded it and stored it directly to the db.
Then on retrieval, unencoded and handed it off with content type, size,

RE: [PHP] mysql load_file retreival
I was following the example given on the php site that someone was using to
break down large files. They base64 encoded the file while reading it in,
broke it into pieces (while inputing the pieces into the db), then
re-animated it so to speak afterwards by reversing the process. I get the
impression that encoding the file will leave it in a state that is palatable
to the database (no quotes,commas,slashes etc) and it seemed that since the
example worked that way that I'd follow suit. Plus, if I decided that the
file sizes should be split up, I could ultimately simply change a line of
code or so and split it up. It is only from a lack of thorough
understanding of exactly what characters can be found in a pdf file when
viewed as a single string for the database that I don't step out and design
something of which I have not seen an example. Plus I figure that I should
learn from people out there of whom many have spent many hours beating their
head against a wall looking for a solution and are later willing to share
that as an example to save others time.

RE: [PHP] How do I protect downloadable files?
You could have your authorization info in the mysql db including file locations that are stored along with the authorization level necessary to download them. If the person is authenticated to download the file, the php script uses the file location info from the db to open the file and generate the headers necessary to start the download. This way the end user never has to have direct access to the download directory and you don't have to copy the file into a temporary directory.

I've not tried to crack that nut. Is there anyone here who has successfully
managed headers for Mac users? It's hard to believe it hasn't been done.

However I forgot to mention, all theese header tricks are real swell
indeed, but you should get hold of a friend on a macintosh.
The method I use doesnt work on the macintosh, so for the mac
users we just serve the files "as is", meaning they accually dont get
protected...
The other methods aswell should be tested on macintosh systems
just to be sure.

RE: [PHP] urlencoding.
How about this one? Add it to an include for the site and use it whenever
you have an error check.
function goBack($newSite,$errMsg)
{
$send = "";
foreach($_GET as $key=>$value)
{
$send = $send."&".$key."=".$value;
}
$goTo = urlencode($newSite."?errMsg=".$errMsg.$send);
header("Location: $goTo");
die();
}
if(there is a problem with the data)
{
$errorMessage = "some error";
goBack($HTTP_REFERER,$errorMessage);
}
I'd have to test the $HTTP_REFERER part, but I don't see why it wouldn't
work. I like the die() in there so I can just use an if statement at the
beginning without having to indent the rest of the script. Especially if
you have a lot of error checks.

Subject: [PHP] urlencoding.
Let me give a quick background. I am a very experienced programmer but
I haven't done much php and only a little web development in perl. I am
now creating a web site with Apache, php and MySQL.
I am having the user fill out a form and then save the data in MySQL.
Before I save the data I do a few checks and if there is a problem I do
a redirect back to the form and send all the data back so they don't
have to fill out the whole form again. Here is some sample code I use
to build my redirect url
$UserID = $_POST['UserID'];
$Password1 = $_POST['Password1'];
$Password2 = $_POST['Password2'];
$Email = $_POST['Email'];
$FName = $_POST['FName'];
$LName = $_POST['LName'];
do checking of data here.
if(there is a problem with the data){
$ErrorMsg = "some error";
$redirectStr = "$httpHost/CreateAccount.php?";
$redirectStr .= "UserID=" . urlencode(stripslashes($UserID));
$redirectStr .= "&Password=" . urlencode(stripslashes($Password));
$redirectStr .= "&Email=" . urlencode(stripslashes($Email));
$redirectStr .= "&FName=" . urlencode(stripslashes($FName));
$redirectStr .= "&LName=" . urlencode(stripslashes($LName));
$redirectStr .= "&ErrorMsg=" . urlencode($ErrorMsg);
header("Location: $redirectStr");
exit;
}
My problem is that any field that contains a double quote, all data
after the first double quote is missing from the form field. When I
look at the long URL I do see a %22 where the " are supposed to be, and
all other data is there too.
Any Ideas? If there is a better way to do this feel free to suggest a
change in my whole method here. Just as a note validation of the UserID
has to be done on the server side, to check for duplicates in the MySQL db.
I would also welcome insight on standard techniques to make sure the
user isn't trying to break the code by sending bogus data. I am already
checking that the data isn't longer than I am expecting.

RE: [PHP] Setting a 'life-time' clock to a displayed information
The timer on the client browser would have to be done in some client-side language. On the server side you can place any order information that is out with a supplier in a db field along with the time it was pulled. When the next supplier submits a request, the db is parsed for pending jobs whose time has gone over the 30 minutes. If it has, then provide the same information to this supplier and update the record to show who it is out with. If there are none that have gone over the 30 then generate a new set for this supplier and record the time it was provided and the supplier it was given to. When the supplier publishes the completed information, check to make sure it was in time, if it was in time remove the entry from the db so that it isn't given back out. If it is too late you can generate an error page and start back over if he still wants to try. Note there may be some additional steps necessary to make sure that two suppliers aren't trying get an expired entry at the same instance where there is a fraction of a second between checking the time on the record and taking the record where both check the time and take the same record. You will probably have to use locking on the db to avoid this.

What I'm trying to achieve is a situation whereby a certain 'info' (like an order!) would only appear to a target viewer (like a supplier!) for example (say) 30 minutes and if that viewer did not react within the set time, the information will sieze to appear to his/her browser so that the same information could be forwarded to the next viewer (supplier)on the list. The setting of time approach is to avoid having two people working on the same information at the same time. I'd really appreciate any hint/help Thanks in advance Ike __ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

RE: [PHP] No cookie is being set?
shouldn't $row[member_id] be $row['member_id']. In case anyone can profit
from this, when I find a function doesn't work right and I am using
variables in its execution I run an echo/die combination immediately before
the function to verify the data being fed to it is as it should be. In this
example...
...
$id = $_SESSION["user"];
echo "setcookie(\"memberlogin\", ".$id.", ".time() +60*60*24*365.");";
die();
setcookie...
What does this yeild?

Subject: [PHP] No cookie is being set?
Hi again,
I have the following code to first start a session and then write a
cookie... is that so hard? Well it is starting the session but the cookie is
not being set. see:
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$_SESSION["user"] = $row[member_id];
if ($_POST["autologin"] == "yes")
{
$id = $_SESSION["user"];
setcookie("memberlogin", $id, time()+60*60*24*365);
header("Location: $CFG->wwwroot");
exit();
}
else
{
header("Location: $CFG->wwwroot");
exit();
}
What can it be? No error is posted.
Thanks in advanced,
Cesar Aracena

Hi all,
can somebody remind me how to propperly insert not just one but many
variables into a $_SESSION handle? php manual doesn't explain it very well.
It just says that it can be done.
