[PHP-DB] stripping a get variable out of url string
I have an online tutorial build into a web page.
It has button next step.
If you are on page index.php?abc=123 for instance
the code is smart enough to make it index.php?abc=123step=x
The problem is how to remove step=x from the old url string so that steps don't pile
up.
index.php?abc=123step=1step=2
I'm trying ereg but could use a nudge with the wild card aspect of searching and
replacing.
The code below builds the get string.
$stepnum = $_GET[step];
$laststep=$stepnum-1;
$nextstep=$stepnum+1;
$args = $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI];
if ($_SERVER[argc]0) $args.=;
else $args.=?;
if ($stepnum1)
{

echo step=1'step 1/abr;

[PHP-DB] Sessions help needed!
Hello all,
I am new to php in general and am trying to set up a user authentification system
with mysql. The registration page works well and sends all of the data to the
appropriate table in mysql. However, when I try to get the registered user to log in
and start a session, the system will not remember the session information past the
page. For instance, this page will not work (the one that initially is supposed to
register the session from the login form):
?
session_start();
$username=chris;
$database=login;
$login = $_POST['login'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
if((!$login) || (!$password)){
echo Please enter ALL of the information! br /;
include 'login.php';
exit();
}
mysql_connect(localhost,$username);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( Unable to select database);
$sql=mysql_query(SELECT * FROM login WHERE login='$login' AND password='$password');
$login_check = mysql_num_rows($sql);
if($login_check 0){
// This is where I register the session
session_register('login');
$_SESSION['login'] = $login;
mysql_close();
include 'success.php';
} else {
echo You could not be logged in! Either the username and password do not match or
you have not validated your membership!br /
Please try again!br /;
include 'login.php';
}
?
It proceeds to login the user for that page (I know this happens because I have played
around with it looking at the error checks), but it will not display any variable that
resembles $_SESSION['login'].
The next page sequentially (success.php) looks like this:
?
session_start();
echo 'Successful login for $_SESSION['login']';
?
Any and all variations of this page come up blank and white whenever the variable
$_SESSION['login'] is called to display. It shows no memory of me registering a
session. Any variation of quotes verse apostrophes changes nothing, so I figure that
either I am blatantly screwing up the session code (possible for I have never written
any sessions before) or my system is not supporting sessions. I have a php4
something, windows, apache 1.3.27 for my home network server, and mysql. Any help on
this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your time, John

[PHP-DB] PHP crashing with using Oracle
Hello, I installed PHP-4.3.2 with oci8 and oracle support (using --with-oci8 --with-oracle). I recompile apache-1.3.27 to use the libpthread as mentioned here: http://ww.php.net/oci8 Now, I got crashes when using oracle with php. In my apache error logs, I get: [Sat Jul 5 17:24:28 2003] [notice] child pid 17496 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Sat Jul 5 17:24:29 2003] [notice] child pid 17558 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) and the application would just do nothing (I tried reload, submit, etc). if this happens, the only way I can fix it is by restarting apache. Could anyone give me pointer what's going on here and how to fix it? In case this matters, the Oracle 9i DB server is also in the same box. Somehow it has it's own Apache, but I don't use that.

[PHP-DB] Re: fatal error with DB.php
OK, I solved it. It seems that I **HAVE TO**, **MUST**, **NO CHOICE** place my php.ini in C:\WINNT (for NT and 2k) or PHP will not find it. This is a hardcoded path done at compile time. So, since no ini file, PHP was running on default values, thus it could not find DB.php since the default path there was 'C:\php4\pears' So, I copied my php.ini file to C:\winnt, renamed the added php4 to php4x (just to hide it to see if this would work), restarted my Apache (since the docs tell me that the PHP process that runs with Apache reads this file once at Apache startup) and I ran my script. It now works. Just thought I'd share to the next stubborn person finds this solution. Walter -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP-DB] Re: Sessions help needed!
It recently happened to me too... however, I use the session_id() to keep
track of the same session... I also use a table to check on who's who..
Anyway, it was working fine and all of a sudden the client complained that
no one can log in... I echoed the session id of the pages and saw that
different session ids were being given by SESSION_ID() when the user goes
from one page to another...
Basically, the system thought that each page visited is another session...
when I can the session table, i saw that the user was autheticated ok... and
that the session was log during login.
When he was transfered to the welcome page, the check_session routine,
checked the session_id agaisnt the log and since it gave him a new session
id, the system thought he wasn't logged in and proceeded to ask him to log
again...
Anyway, in both our cases, the session wasn't being kept -- making each page
visit seem a new session...
SOLUTION -- at least for us:
It turns out that their sysad upgraded to the latest PHP and with it came a
new config:
SESSION_ONLY_COOKIES
This is a new config and it was ON and it wasn;t present in the previous PHP
version. I just asked them to turn it of and test it and it worked again.
session ids were the same and therefore...
Hope this helps..
