Re: [PHP-DB] Include function across servers
No. That would be to access the code. Include grabs an entire file. Perhaps you should look into Ajax techniques. -Micah On 04/02/2007 04:06 PM, ioannes wrote: I have a particular business application so just returning html is OK, the output is the useful bit in this case.

That code could include a function but that doesn't mean you'll get the right results from it. For example: including that from a remote server will query your local database - it will not query your remote database. So I really suggest finding another way to do whatever you are trying to do... 1) for security reasons (you don't want anyone else to be able to access your database or anything else because if you can do it, so can I - plus a lot of other things to get into your server) 2) for practicality reasons (eg the above) 3) for usability reasons (eg the remote server crashes, your website/whatever is inaccessible because functionality can't be retrieved) -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP-DB] Include Files Solution
Here's the solution I came up with that works for the site: $display_block .= ""; I am only using the PHP parser once instead of twice, the \n makes the whole thing nicely readable in the HTML source files that are generated, and the paths were modified (and the navigation templates were as well) to give the correct paths to all the images and files concerned. The biggest reason I had path problems was that I set the page generation in the home directory, the generated pages in their own directory (as well as the rest of the pieces of the online catalog quote request form) and the navigation sits in it's own directory off the root folder. / page generation /catalog pages /nav templates /images images /product_images images What had me perplexed was I coded the product images correctly to work right from the beginning with the leading '/' character and so since I did it correct at the beginning it should hold true that I coded it correctly throughout, right? WRONG! I completely bungled the whole paths and was left with a bunch of garbage. Now I have the paths all loaded correctly, the templates were all modified to call images and pages with a leading '/' character, and everything is working fluidly. Now I'm ready to call it a week and go to the beach!!! Who's with me?! BTW, if you want to see the output pages then feel free to click here: http://www.pfssales.com/catalog.html and click on any of the links.

[PHP-DB] Include a file into a database table !!!!
Hy everybody, I´m a new php user and I looking for a solution to receive the following information from my site: 1) I want to received a form with text fields + a file (up to 100 k) I need to know wich is the easy way to place this service in my site. The question is if I can receive a file into a table column ? It´s a product to place the file into some directory in the site and the text fields into a table, but isn´t free. So the other question if is possible to have the same capability with a sareware product ???

RE: [PHP-DB] include() statement hell!
You should also put quotes around your keys in your arrays if they're
non-numeric. For instance:
$session["logged_in"] instead of $session[logged_in]
It's good coding habit, and it sometimes will save you from some "constant"
headaches (pun intended for everyone who has run into this problem before).

Thanks Jonathan,
Your suggestions were very helpful, especially turning on the error logging.
Here is where I'm at now:
Files in use:
/include/dblib.inc
/include/userlib.inc
/main/page.php
My include statements in /main/page.php:
include("../include/dblib.inc");
include("../include/userlib.inc");
All the fuctions I call from dblib.inc work great, however, I have only a
single function in userlib.inc and it generates an error. The error I get
is:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: cleansession()
Here is the file userlib.inc:
Lastly, if I paste the above function into page.php (without the
session_start and session_register lines) it works fine. I've tried giving
the function a different name, changing case, all sorts of stuff. I've
tried renaming it to userlib.php and I've opened the file directly in my
browser with the error_reporting(2039); at the top and no error messages,
yet it is as if the file never gets included. I've tried including ONLY
userlib.inc and pasting all the dblib.inc functions into page.php (to rule
out dblib.inc screwing things up) and still I get the error.
I am truly confounded at this point. Thanks for any suggestions you have.
I think I am almost out of "Include Statement Hell". ;-)

RE: [PHP-DB] include() statement hell!
I have found the best way for me is always include with the fullpath ie,
include("/usr/httpd/mysite/include.inc");
or:
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']"/include.inc");
Then you can include files that are elswhere:
include("/usr/httpd/virtual-domain-includes/multi-user-include.inc");
these will work no matter what dir or sub dir the page calling the include
is in...

Probably not. PHP can "see" the whole filesystem, not just the area that is

it is trying to go down to the SYSTEM root and open up a subdirectory called
includes and get the file dblib.inc inside it.

have to say:
include("dblib.inc");
However, if you have this layout:

Thanks Jonathan,
I'm trying to include a file /includes/dblib.inc from /main/page.php. In
/main/page.php I use include("includes/dblib.inc");. When that didn't work,
I tried copying the file to /main/ and including it there and that didn't
work either. Finally, I tried adding a specific path to the php.ini file
for includes_path and put the files there and that worked. Then I went and
changed the php.ini file to remove the reference (still trying to get it to
work the way I THINK it should) and then it WORKED! But ONLY from within
/main/. Each time I make these changes, I am making a matching change in
the actual include() statement at the top of /main/page.php and I am
restarting apache each time I change php.ini.
So, maybe this is the question. Can you include a file from /main/page.php
by using a path of /includes/dblib.inc?
dblib.inc has functions that do connections and queries to a mysql database.
Even stranger yet, is that I have one other include file called userlib.inc
that has authentication related session functions. Well, that hasn't worked
at all no matter what, unless I put the functions in /includes/userlib.inc
directly into the file /main/page.php. Once there, all the functions work
fine. Otherwise, the only error messages I get are regarding unknown
functions being referenced, yet, I never get an error that the include files
can't be found. It's all crazy to me.
Currently, both of my include files are called directly with two lines like:
include("dblib.inc");
include("userlib.inc");
They are both located in /main/ along side page.php which is calling them.
They both seem to work this way, but as soon as I place them in /includes/
and try to call them using:
include("includes/dblib.inc");
include("includes/userlib.inc");
I get errors saying that the functions can't be found, however, no errors
saying it can't find the include files??
Lastly, even with both include files in /main/ I still have some strange
problem with my userlib.inc file because the single function that is in
there won't work unless the function is pasted directly into /main/page.php.
I think I've made this message way too long but I appreciate your help.
I've got the page working reliably with the functions all pasted into
page.php but not while including those functions. I just can't think of
what could be making it difference. The functions are all the same, just
running from an include file is a problem.
Thanks again, just writing this up has helped to make more sense to me. I

The thing that sucks about having to rely upon the php.ini file is that the
you must use a particular folder for all your include files, even if you are
using files for several different sites. It makes much more sense to be
able to put your include files for a particular site in that site. It's
easier for backups, moving the site and for shared hosting. I've gotten it
to work partially using the folder defined in the php.ini file, but I want
to be able to specifiy a folder from within the calling php file, which is
how you should be able to do it.

#1. You may want to double-check the path where you're calling it from
in
case you're working with subdirectories.
Let's saying you access a page at www.domain.com/page.php which calls
www.domain.com/includes/header.inc.
Then, header.inc includes the dblib.inc file at
www.domain.com/includes/dblib.inc. However, the include's base directory
will still be in page.php - the directory won't change to includes, so
for
header.inc to include dblib.inc, it has to say:
include("includes/dblib.inc");
NOT
include("dblib.inc");
Otherwise, it will be trying to include www.domain.com/dblib.inc because
the

Re: [PHP-DB] include() statement hell!
Thanks Jonathan,
I'm trying to include a file /includes/dblib.inc from /main/page.php. In
/main/page.php I use include("includes/dblib.inc");. When that didn't work,
I tried copying the file to /main/ and including it there and that didn't
work either. Finally, I tried adding a specific path to the php.ini file
for includes_path and put the files there and that worked. Then I went and
changed the php.ini file to remove the reference (still trying to get it to
work the way I THINK it should) and then it WORKED! But ONLY from within
/main/. Each time I make these changes, I am making a matching change in
the actual include() statement at the top of /main/page.php and I am
restarting apache each time I change php.ini.
So, maybe this is the question. Can you include a file from /main/page.php
by using a path of /includes/dblib.inc?
dblib.inc has functions that do connections and queries to a mysql database.
Even stranger yet, is that I have one other include file called userlib.inc
that has authentication related session functions. Well, that hasn't worked
at all no matter what, unless I put the functions in /includes/userlib.inc
directly into the file /main/page.php. Once there, all the functions work
fine. Otherwise, the only error messages I get are regarding unknown
functions being referenced, yet, I never get an error that the include files
can't be found. It's all crazy to me.
Currently, both of my include files are called directly with two lines like:
include("dblib.inc");
include("userlib.inc");
They are both located in /main/ along side page.php which is calling them.
They both seem to work this way, but as soon as I place them in /includes/
and try to call them using:
include("includes/dblib.inc");
include("includes/userlib.inc");
I get errors saying that the functions can't be found, however, no errors
saying it can't find the include files??
Lastly, even with both include files in /main/ I still have some strange
problem with my userlib.inc file because the single function that is in
there won't work unless the function is pasted directly into /main/page.php.
I think I've made this message way too long but I appreciate your help.
I've got the page working reliably with the functions all pasted into
page.php but not while including those functions. I just can't think of
what could be making it difference. The functions are all the same, just
running from an include file is a problem.
Thanks again, just writing this up has helped to make more sense to me. I
think the crux of the whole thing is the path. I'm using to including files
in ASP and those can be relative so something like ../includes/dblib.inc
works great.

[PHP-DB] include files don't work???
Hi All, This is strange. I've got some functions I want to include in my PHP documents. Well, I can never get anything to work if I include the file that holds the functions, but, if I insert the functions into the PHP document in question, everything works?? Now, I've checked to ensure that the path in the include statement is correct and I never get any errors about it not being able to find the include file. Also, I've ensured that the functions in the included document are enclosed with tags at the top and bottom. So, I'm looking for other possible gotchas or bugs in the include statement?? Thanks in advance for any help. I don't know what I could be doing wrong. Brad -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP-DB] Include
Yes that is correct. On a security point of view therer is something
extra you can do.. when using require you can require files that are outside
the web tree...by this I mean are not accessible thru the internet. So if
you site was in /home/web then you could setup a directory, say
/home/web_vars and in this put these kind of files.
In the require statement you just then simple put in the full path, eg
require("/home/web_vars/vars.php");
The advantage of doing this is security When the file with such sensitive
information is included in the web tree then there are (admittedly limited)
possible scenarios in which this could be compramised. It is generally
accepted that it is sensible to avoid putting such information in the web
tree.
Hope I've been clear, let me know if you need any more advice.

Re: [PHP-DB] Include File Syntax
Hi Format of included files is the same as original .php file.:) When you include .php file it is the same as you copy that file in your main .php file in that place. > This is my first time programming with PHP.

RE: [PHP-DB] Include File Syntax
hi kat,
the include files are simply a way for repetitive code (like a connection to
a db) to be inserted into your pages.
the syntax for the files is the same as any php script and it is added to
the page at the point that you include it.
the format is
include ("page_name.php");
the pages that are included are as secure as your scripts.

[PHP-DB] Include File Syntax
This is my first time programming with PHP. I have seen include files in the beginning of a php block and wonder is there a specific syntax used in these files and how secure this is vs code in my .php page? Can someone show me a small example of what the include file might look like that would contain variables for $mysql server, $username $password and $db_name. Any comments you may have about security involving files containing these variables and where to store them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks In Advance.

[PHP-DB] Include problem.
I am running PHP3.017(cgi) + Apache + MySQL on Windows98 SE. The include() and the getenv() functions are asking for a dial-up connection. Can somebody give me a hand ?
