true there's not that much difference .. though it would depend on the
server's connection speed as well as the machines "grunt" as to how much of
a difference there is.

Do you really find it noticeable quicker? Benchmarks I've seen (none of
them that current) don't seem to support that. Depending on the software
versions involved, it seems to be anywhere from much faster through PHP to
a few % slower. Certainly no major penalty in any case.

If there's interest I'd be willing to do some benchmarks on a few
different setups to see where things stand with current software.

[PHP] Multiple Upload using list

[Triax]

Hello,
currently I want to implement a multiple upload using a listbox.
I have 2 link which will dynamically add or remove a file to/from the
list box,
I'm writing it as a java script as below.
-
function addFile(){
 var temp, ext;
 document.mform.filUpload.click();
 if(document.mform.filUpload.value != ""){
  ext = document.mform.filUpload.value;
  ext = ext.substring(ext.length-3,ext.length);
  ext = ext.toLowerCase();
  if ((ext == 'jpg') || (ext == 'gif')) {
   temp = new Option();
   temp.text = document.mform.filUpload.value;
   temp.value = document.mform.filUpload.value;
   document.mform.elements['lstUpload[]'].add(temp, 1);
  }
  else
   alert("Invalid file type selected");
 }
-
Upon sbumitting, my php script can only read the local drive directory
instead of the
temporary directory on the server.
When I did a copy function, it tell me that it cant copy as the source
file does not exist.
Below is part of my php script.
-
  if(!isset($WINDIR)) $filename = str_replace("", "\\", $lstUpload[$i]);
.
   if(!copy($filename,
"/home/fotohub/public_html/memPhotos/$usrID/$img_name") ){
echo "Failed to copy"; exit();
   }

Why is that better? 

There are certain little weirdnesses that crop up when HTML pages have 
file names that fool lesser platforms into thinking they're not HTML, 
especially when they try to save them locally.

This works fine for me:

http://www.phpbuilder.com/rss_feed.php?type=general&limit=10","r";);
fpassthru($fp);
?>

Check the archives & bugs.php.net to see whether there are any issues with 
fopen() & URLs with Windows.

Unless it has been configured otherwise, they can tell from the HTTP headers

fopen() is less work and is more portable (doesn't require cURL to be 
built on the server) so if it works, excellent. Otherwise, cURL provides 
a huge amount of additional flexibility. But if you don't need it, it 
doesn't get you anything.

RE: [PHP] PHP in HTML

[Peter]

if your using apache for you web server .. in httpd.conf you can set it so
you have the following config..
(this is on windows but same basically applies to other OS's)

LoadModule php4_module c:/phpdev/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

this will enable .html files to be run through php at the moment you'd have
like this

LoadModule php4_module c:/phpdev/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

there for .html are not run through php and there for the php code in there
is not going to be of use..

[PHP] PHP in HTML

[Jeremy]

Hi Folks,

A simple question that has me puzzled, obviously I have a config file wrong
somewhere..

Why does a filename.php file run as php and a filename.html with php code
embedded not produce a php result?

cheers,

[PHP] remote fetching??

[Gerard Samuel]

I was about to modify a script that fetches files for xml content.  It 
currently does so using fsockopen.
I originally was going to use plain fopen, and I know that curl can also 
be used.
Im looking for preferences as to use one method over another.  Why one 
is better than the other etc.
Thanks for any input you may provide...

If you want the newlines converted, then you need to use a text data type,
not application/octet-stream. Try text/plain, for instance.

I presume we're talking about php date/time stuff here?  In that case,
php gets it's date/time from the server it is running on.  If your
server is on the east coast of Australia then you'll have local time for
east coast of Aust.

One way to deal with this would be to take everything back to GMT/UTC/Z
and use that instead.  Then all you need to do is add an appropriate
adjustment to get local time where ever the browser is - of course, you
may not easily be able to figure that out so it's not necessarily a
perfect solution.

In the end, the solution will depend on your requirements.  What are you
using a timestamp for?  If it's purely as a reference point in database
queries (i.e. all changes in the past two days, or 10 mins) then it
probably doesn't matter all that much.  Your database will be updated
from your server and your server has a consistent internal time.

If your application is date dependant in an absolute way then it becomes
a little harder I guess.  Although, you'd also ask yourself how relevant
it becomes to someone in a vastly different time zone - i.e. if you're
doing a local event calendar (which just happens to be one of the things
I'm doing right now) then the fact that an event might be happening
right now instead of this time tomorrow (from the perspective of someone
on the other side of the world and their time zone) is largely
immaterial - they aren't going to get there anyway.

Perhaps the simplest approach to that is to include a time/date
reference.  If you're going to include date information let the browser
know the context.  So, you advertise the next 'xxx' event will be at 3PM
17 May and tell them that it's 10:30AM on 17 May right now.  Leave any
relevant math up to them.

 > Can someone suggest a script that may give me the option to

You could probably do something in javascript (being client-side it
knows the time in the browsers' location) to work out equivalencies and
conversions if you like.

CYA, Dave

It'll always use the server's time zone unless you explicitly tell it 
otherwise.

> zones to the user?

Best is to store times in your server's native time zone, then ask users 
for their preferred time zone and recalculate times as you display them. 
That way all users can be accommodated with the same set of data.

I think it's pretty hard to measure usage... what would a meaningful
metric be? Number of servers with ASP available? Number of virtual hosts?
Number of page views served by ASP vs PHP? Number of active developers?

For me personally I find working with ASP & .NET to be a pain in the butt,
yeah sure you can to use all the fancy GUI's that can take care of some code
for you etc..  but then there's the argument about php and having to write
the code your self.  Personally I find that a better approach as for me it's
all about learning and achieving because at the end of the day you can sit
back and look at it and go wow I did that from scratch  from line 1 of code
etc.

Basically it all comes down to personal preference.  I'm coming from a back
ground which doesn't include much programming at all (which can  be seen by
some of the dumb q's i've posted in here...) and I guess that using
something with a prodominately (think that's how it's spelt) gui workings
and that takes care of alot of code for me should be more appealing  but
it's not  any way basically YOU have to decide what's best for you and

I love PHP and open-source computing but if one wants to get a job in

[PHP] Date and time functions

[DC]

Hi all,

I am on the East Coast of Australia.

Do you know if by default if the date/time display will display only East
coast Australia time, or will display  from the user's time zone?
eg Will USA users see the Australian time or their own time?
Would this cause a issue with timestamping an order when it comes to writing
to a mySQL database?

Can someone suggest a script that may give me the option to offer both  time
zones to the user?

No, no bug.  I believe you would end up with something like that if the for

range of letters...

This isn't specifically ASP, but NT permissions in general.  PHP running

Honestly, I find that now in the PHP community as well, to a larger 
extent than I used to, but perhaps it's because I/we aren't in the
'sessions v cookies' mentality anymore.

Compiling GD support, for one, is a pain in the ass which you
can't get really get good support for, due to the variety of systems. 
Servlet support as well.  Java support has gotten better, but
it generally just magically happens.  I don't think I've had too
many deep technical issues that have been resolved with help
from the PHP community.  Not because they're 'lesser' people,
but we're trying to do stuff that most people don't do.  It'd be
like trying to get JScript support at an ASP site.  Yeah,
JScript works with ASP, but no one really uses it much,
compared to VBScript.

[PHP] Passing to an Applet

[Joshua Baker]

All right I've seen in done in jsp and asp, but I'd like to know if I can do it in PHP 
as well.

I've got an applet, which is in the page replay.php, with these parameters that I need 
to fill from a URL.

 









I need to pass 2 parameter in the URL from another page to this one, those parameters 
are
FILEPREFIX and MAXINDEX.

I've set my link to read as 

The question is how to I, if I can, use PHP to take those variables from the URL 
string and use them for the values on that page.

I know most people want to just say RTFM or look it up, but at this point if anyone 
could just tell me what this would be under or where exactly this info is, if it's 
possible in php.  Thanks

It's been a while, but I remember that it was impossible to create a
functional directory browser with off-the-shelf ASP functionality. The
file component was categorically unwilling to follow mounted shares until
we got some extra add-in. This was after a month of debate in newsgroup
microsoft.public.this.that.the-other-thing, and plenty of experimentation
during which I discovered, reported, and was contacted by MS engineers
about more bugs than I've ever encountered in PHP.

I don't think it's a bad thing that they see a niche and try to fill it. I 
think it's a bad thing from the web developer's perspective that there are 
so many unfilled niches.

Furthermore, in contrast to the PHP/Open Source world I find the
profiteering got annoying after a while. It was a drag just having to fill
out a P.O. every week to buy another ridiculous little thing that may or
may not be production-quality and had a no-refund policy.

And the fact is, most of those little companies provide wretched
documentation and support, and there is no real onlne user community in
the Windows world to exchange information with. Well, there are lots of
users, but the ratio of crap-to-usefulness in the fora is so high that
finding information is painful at best.

No doubt. But a development environment that's the centerpiece of every
late-night-TV-commercial "Are you tired of your Burger Hut job? We'll
teach you to be a computer programmer earning $70k/year in only 3
weeks!!!" tech school is bound to have a higher percentage of losers than
others.

Public denigration of what I don't understand is how I strike out at a
callous world that's denied me my just deserts: fame, millions, and a
torrid love affair with Nancy Reagan. Either address the fundamental
injustice here or cut me some slack.

Not sure I get your question. Cannot be "run" or "executed" by whom? By 
the web server? Just don't let it run them. By people who download them? 
Impossible. There are too many executable formats. The only choice would 
be to have a whitelist of file formats (i.e., "GIF", "JPEG", "PNG", use 
'file' to check the prologue of each file, and then toss anything else.

miguel

P.S. Your system clock is about 11 hours fast (or you've selected the
wrong time zone), which is annoying since it puts your messages out of 
sequence and I can't tell whether or not they've been replied to without 
reading through 200 other headers.

As much as I'm not a fan of ASP (2 or 2.5, not worked with 3 much),
I'd have to say that you could definitely at least read a directory's
contents without having to purchase external libraries.  Please don't
go overboard.

Wouldn't it be cool if you didn't have to be a C programmer to
write PHP extensions that you could distribute to others (whether
for profit or not)?  I certainly think so, but it's currently not
possible right now.  All those "nasty little companies" you mention
are making some money because they can program VB, wrap up stuff
as DLLs, and sell them.  They see a need in the ASP community and
address it, while being able to make some money too.  What a novel
concept!

It's all perspective.  I'm not saying everyone who does PHP is a loser,
but I have met more than a few losers who happen to work in PHP.  Same
with every other language.

Where the heck did you read that?  Do you know what .NET is?
Glad that you do, because most other people don't - there really
isn't a good definition, so it's hard to say someone 'pulled everything 
in'.  What MS has done is retarget the 'hailstorm' service to
corporate intranets looking to do internal authentication as opposed
to a public authentication system.  Hardly retracting .NET from
the scene.

There's a lot of interesting concepts in the .NET codebase out there now 
(ASP.NET webforms, for example) as well as other platforms
(Java springs to mind).  Just because it's "not PHP" shouldn't mean
you ignore it or worse yet, publicly denigrate it.

"When I test it fails" is not a useful problem report.

Show the relevant parts of the code you're running and tell us what, 
specifically is happening (i.e., if an error message is displayed, paste 
that into your problem report; if a variable seems to be getting an 
unexpected value, change your code to print that value out, and then show 
us both the code and the value that it actually printed out).

Otherwise it's just sort of a guessing game.

Since you're already using javascript... you could try generating 2 images
at the same time, one with the data points drawn, the other without, then
using the same technology as for javascript rollovers, you could replace the
image when the onClick event is caught. Instant gratification, and no messy
varable replacements.

[PHP] BUG?: for loop using chars

[Erich Reimberg N]

Hello,

I'm trying to generate this list of letters A..Z, using this

   for ($l='A'; $l<='Z'; $l++)
  echo $l."-";

And it doesn't work. It generates the output included at the end of
this message (I used  to be shorter)

But this works
   for ($l='A'; $l<='Y'; $l++)
  echo $l."-";
generating the expected output.

IS this a bug in PHP?

Any help? Please, if you can, Cc to my email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

TIA,
Erich

RE: [PHP] refreshing PHP on onClick

[Leotta, Natalie (NCI/IMS)]

It's all in a password protected site because the data's all confidential at
this point in time, but I can give you a mental picture.  

There are a bunch of dropdowns - State, Cancer, Sex, Race, Age.  We're
drawing a graph of best fit lines - up to 5 allowed on the graph, then we
start over replacing them.  We don't draw the actual data points unless the
user clicks on a checkbox.  They want that checkbox to be instant
gratification, without making the user refresh.  I just want a way to make
it do the refresh (and let me change that one variable, so it draws the
points or doesn't draw the points), but not a full submit because that would
add another line to the graph.

I'm sorry I can't send you the URL at this stage of the game.  it should be

You wouldn't happen to have a demo would you? A visualization
would help me a lot.

[PHP] refreshing PHP on onClick

[Leotta, Natalie (NCI/IMS)]

This might be a little bit JS and a little bit PHP.  I'm wondering if
there's an easy way to refresh a PHP page on an "onClick" and change one
parameter (say someone wants to redraw the graph, but with the points).  I
don't want to pay attention to any of the other parameters that could have
changed on the screen (we've got a bunch of selects).  We had come up with a
really complicated way which involved changing the parameters to the most
recent line drawn, deleting the most recent line, and then submitting with
those parameters and the showPoints value changed, but that sounds pretty
complicated.
 
If anyone could come up with a quicker way that didn't involve the whole
submitting thing, that would be easier.  My page has all of the vars that
are necessary in hidden vars, and has HTML, PHP, and a handful of JS.
 
Thanks!

Re: [PHP] Making Multiple Pages

[J Smith]

You should also add an ORDER BY clause in there, as the SQL standard doesn't 
guarantee the order that rows are retrieved in. There's a chance that 
you'll get, say, 20 rows on the first page, go to the second page and get 
some of the rows you've already seen on the first page. If you use an ORDER 
BY, you'll at least guarantee that you'll get them in the same order each 
time.

Subject: [PHP] Making Multiple Pages


I have some ideas on how this should be done, but I'm at work and can't
really test them, so I was thinking maybe I could run it by you all and
maybe get some feedback and/or new ideas.

I have a PHP/MySQL-generated page that displays image thumbnails.
Currently, I have a loop that makes a table and table rows, fills the
rows with the thumbnails, then when there's no more information, it
completes whatever row it's on with blank 's, then closes the table.

This was working fine, but my site is actually attracting more traffic
than I originally thought, and I'm getting more image submissions. It's
getting to where it's no longer practical to arrange all the thumbnails
onto one page, I need to have like 25 on one page, then have the script
create a link at the bottom so users can click and see the next 25.

I'm thinking I need to use some kind of row count language in the
script, i.e. first count how many rows are in the MySQL table, if it's
less than 25, just display them all. If there's more than 25, display
only 1 - 25, then create a link to view 26 - 50, etc.

Is that what I need to be looking into? Any other ideas would be
appreciated. Thanks!

[PHP] Configuration.... XML.... Life

[Michael Dransfield]

I have started writing an app which helps (mainly win32, new) users to 
generate config files correctly to prevent glaring security holes on 
production servers.

I started by using parse_config_file(), but this ends up causing problems 
because it strips comments.  This means that some variables which are 
commented are lost from the program.  There are also potential problems 
because some of the config file has [sections] and some of it doesnt.  Some 
of this is valid in win32 environments and some are not.  This can cause 
problems if users download the win32 default config file and then upload it 
to Linux or BSD, it will fail.

Will uncommenting some of the variables (and then setting them to the 
default) affect the running of php at all?  is there a reason why they are 
commented and not just set with their default / NULL value?

I then began playing with an xml file which stores the comments and 
variables along with other useful information relating to the configuration 
variable. I then added warnings to the XML document so that the front-end 
can read if a setting is potentially insecure (in the current 
environment).  I think the best way to explain it is by looking at the 
attached file, most of it is obvious, i have commented where necessary.

Do you think this format looks OK, I am sure i have missed a lot of 
information which could be of interest, for example storing a default value 
with each variable, which could be different in different environments (eg 
).  Maybe add a severity to the warning.

What would you think about the possibility of including the XML ini file 
format in later release of php?  it is easy enough to parse the file when 
the server is started as easilly as it can parse the current ini 
file(?).  It could enable many possibilities because is can store multiple 
environments within it, along with relavent information about the setting 
itself, which would make overall administration much much easier, and 
quicker.  ini files are s Windows 95, dont you think?

I am going to write the front-end as a web application and as a php-gtk app 
(hopefully with the same code).

Does anybody have any comments or suggestions (or would like to 
help)?  (please try to keep them constructive ;)  i have looked for similar 
projects, but cant find any.

Regards
Mike

I know that if I set display_errors = Off in php.ini I can stop the message
from being displayed, but can I set a flag to say the upload_max_filesize
has been exceeded and handle the error my own way?

Re: [PHP] Making Multiple Pages

[Kevin Stone]

One way to get it started would be to work strictly within the links.  Don't
initilize $i unless it is not set (which logically would mean your visitng
the page for the first time).  So..

if (!isset($_GET['i']))
$i = 0;
else
$i += 20;

Another way would be to extract the number of total rows, divide by 20, and
build a list of links in a for() loop.
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($sql);
$num_pages = floor($num_rows/20);
for ($i=0; $i

[PHP] Warning: Max file size of 4194304 bytes exceeded...

[Lee P Reilly]

Hi,

I have another quick question (still on the topic of validating uploaded
files). I have upload_max_filesize = 4194304 in my php.ini file. When I
upload the file, the script that processes does the following:

1-Sets up the session info
2-Starts the HTML header template
3-Displays user login info
4-Does some error checking - file validation & file content validation.
5-Various info & menus are displayed
6- echos the HTML footer

This way, if there are any errors I can display them in a nice way i.e.
in between the HTML headers.

The question(s):

- Is there anyway to catch the error that causes the "Warning: Max file
size of blah exceeded" message
  e.g. something like if (max_file_exceeded) {...} ? Right now, this
message appears at the top of the screen (therefore, before any of the
script is processes).

- Is there anyway to prevent the error message from being displayed on
screen, and perhaps set a flag so we know that the problem has occured?

Thank you very much in advance for any input.

- Lee

Re: [PHP] Making Multiple Pages

[Jason Soza]

Great! I think that's the SQL function I needed.

Now for the PHP part - I'm a bit fo a newbie at writing code, so bear 
with me here. My query string is currently something like:

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE color=$color");

So I would modify that to read:

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE color=$color LIMIT $i, 
25");

Where $i = 1 To get just the first 25 records. I think I'm confused on 
how to set $i and create links. Would I just initially set $i = "1"; 
then make links that point to:

myscript.php?color=red&i=25

Then have a $_GET['i'] variable in my script and set $i equal to that?

Your help is appreciated. Thanks again.

$query = "SELECT * FROM mytable LIMIT $i, 20";

Where 20 is the number of rows to retrieve and $i is the starting row.

By incrementing $i + 20 you can do next, prev buttons, or parse the total
number of rows into page links (prev - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.. 10.. 20 - next).

Search www.mysql.com for more information about using LIMIT in your queries.

Re: [PHP] Uploading JPEG's - Security Issues?

[Andre Dubuc]

Thanks Rasmus,

I thought there had to be function out there that could examine the actual 
contents. 

Now the question remains, would an ereg/eregi check for html/code/commands 
work on a "jpg/jpeg" type file? From a brief examination of one, I note that 
it's not text, but code. I tried writing some text commands into a jpeg file 
to see what would happen, and wasn't too surprised that the file didn't load 
-- but then again, I don't know what I'm doing:>

I suppose, following what I saw in a movie "Along Came a Spider" -- 
manipulating image files with hidden text files, etc. -- sort of put me on 
guard. I have no idea whether this is even possible. . . sounds probable 
though. Would be great to find out before the site is compromised.

Tia,
Andre

Pros:

- headers can be added at any time
- buffer content can be post processed (gz compression) (xslt)
- if an error occurs can avoid serving half a document

Cons:

- transmission of content doesn't start until preprocessor completes
- slightly more overhead since content must be stored in memory until
  buffer is flushed.

Cheers,
Rob.

RE: [PHP] uh, oh errors?

[Jerome Houston]

one REALLY notable advantage is:

if you us ob_*() functions, instead of writing HTML pages with php tags 
inserted, you can write XML pages with PHP tags inserted.  then after you're 
done, you can pass the contents of the output buffer to an XSLT processer 
like sablotron, THEN outputting an HTML page.

Don't feel bad about this.  This is something that messes a lot of
people
up.  The browser knows where your headers end and where content begins
by
adding blank line between the headers and the rest of the page.  ALL
headers
must come before any content is printed to the page.  PHP will give you
that
error if you attempt to write a new header.  So in fact your problem is
not
on Line 13.. but is actually on Line 11.  There are at least two ways to
avoid this...

1. Don't print content before headers.  :)
2. Use output buffering to write the whole page before it is outputed
to the
browser.

[PHP] Gettext and PHP4.2.0?

[Bram van Leur]

Hi everyone,

I've recently (for once in my life!) succesfully compiled PHP4.2.0 using 
the following configure command-line:
'./configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' 
'--disable-debug' '--enable-pic' '--enable-inline-optimization' 
'--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' 
'--with-regex=system' '--with-gettext=shared' '--with-zlib' 
'--with-gdbm' '--with-layout=GNU' '--enable-debugger' 
'--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem=shared' 
'--enable-sysvshm=shared' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-yp' 
'--enable-ftp' '--enable-wddx' '--without-unixODBC' '--without-oracle' 
'--without-oci8' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-gd-dir=/usr' '--with-flex' 
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-ttf'

As you can see it contains "--with-gettext" so I'd expect a function 
like bindtextdomain() is availible. However, Horde (chora, actually) 
reports:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bindtextdomain() in 
/home/virtual/site4/fst/var/www/html/horde/lib/Lang.php on line 91

What could have gone wrong and how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance

right.

the thing you may need to worry about, if you provide some sort of
service that allows for anyone to upload a jpeg file that anyone else
can then download, is people using programs that piggyback other data
(mp3 files, rar archives, etc) on those images.

one simple check you can do to minimize this is to compare the image
dimensions to the file size -- if you've got a 120x120 image in a three
meg jpeg file, something is probably awry. so with a combination of
php's getimagesize() and filesize(), you can try to detect that sort of
thing.

(this is one of the problems that plague sites that provide free
webspace. it's only a security issue insofar as this can constitute an
effective denial-of-service 'attack' on your systems.)

RE: [PHP] Console application with PHP

[Vail, Warren]

PHP and Web Servers probably make a bad choice for what is essentially a
real time application.  PHP and web servers expect to serve up a page of
essentially HTML(and Javascript, or Java Applets), then close the connection
to a browser so that it can handle the requests of others, and not deal with
that connection again until the browser makes another connection, usually as
a result of a hotlink click, or submit.

There is a way to simulate what you want using JavaScript (if PHP can output
HTML, it can also output Javascript).  Check http://www.hotscripts.com in
their JavaScript section for routines to perform 3 functions,

1. a routine which will cause the a page to request a refresh every 10
seconds or so, there by requesting the same page, which your PHP can fill
with the latest (real-time?) data.
2. a routine for using JavaScript to display data on the status line.
3. a routine for displaying the time (using the clock on the browser
machine).

hope this helps,

Hi Jas,

I normally output can output a JaveScript

Plan B is to do your processing before there is any output and then
decide whether or not to do a redirect using the header() function.

available and this is the error I am recieving:

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output
started at /path/to/connection/script/db.php:6) in
/path/to/login/checking file/auth_done.php on line 13

Here is the code that is in auth_done.php:

session_start();
require '/path/to/login/checking file/db.php';
$db_table = 'auth_users';
$sql = "SELECT * from $db_table WHERE un = \"$u_name\" AND pw =
password(\"$p_word\")"; $result = @mysql_query($sql,$dbh) or
die("Couldn't execute query"); $num = mysql_numrows($result);  if ($num
!=0) {
  session_register('u_name');
  session_register('p_word');
  $msg_success = "Good freakin job poindexter!!";
  } else {
  header ("Location: index.php"); // This is line 13 that is my error
generator
  }

This is the code for the db.php script:


Any help would be great!  I am assuming there is another way to redirect
users besides the header function, just not sure what it is or how to
use it.  Thanks in advance, Jas

What is on line 6 of the db.php file?  Do you have a stray carriage return
at the end of this file?

[Maciej Przybycien]

Thank you for responding to my email. I am still stuck with my problem.

I am using additionally jpgraph-1.6.1. Here is the content of my try.php
file:
SetScale("textlin");
$graph->img->SetMargin(30,30,50,50);
$graph->xaxis->SetFont(FF_FONT1,FS_BOLD);
$graph->title->Set("SMT HISTOGRAMS");

// A new plot
$ydata =

// Create the linear plot
$lineplot=new LinePlot($ydata);
// Add the plot to the graph
$graph->Add($lineplot);

// A new plot
$ydata1 =
array(57,68,69,68,69,69,69,70,69,70,69,69,70,70,70,70,70,69,70,70,71,70,70,70,70,70,71,70,71,70,71,70,71,69,70,71,71,70,70,71,70,70,71,70,71,70,70,70,71,69,71,70,71,70,71,70,70,70,70,70,70,70,69,70,70,69,70,69,71,69,70,69,70,69,70,69,70,69,71,69,70,69,71,69,70,69,70,70,70,69,70,69,70,69,70,69,70,69,69,69,70,69,69,69,70,69,70,69,69,69,70,69,70,69,69,69,70,69,70,69,69,69,70,69,70,68,69,69);
// Create the linear plot
$lineplot1=new LinePlot($ydata1);
// Add the plot to the graph
$graph->Add($lineplot1);

$graph->Stroke();
?>


I thought that I maight have set some file access uncerrectly and Java
servlets cannot read them so I tried to display simple file:
"; ?>
I got the same result as previously.


I can display any of those files when I load html file:



SMT MONITORING---







So I am really confused. I just suppose that the problem is somehow
related to html being generated on-fly in Java servlets. But I don't
understand why is that.

The source of Java generated html page is:


SMT MONITORING

[PHP] Console application with PHP

[DoL]

Hi All

I am trying to write something similar to a server console display, is it a
good idea to use PHP?

Wondering how things like
1. server clock (similar to a clock applet)
2. server status
can be displayed with PHP code?

Note: I need to display the above two in a continuous fashion on the status
bar!!

Many Thanks
Dominic

[PHP] some Javascript functions with PHP

[savaidis]

I use:
print('');
print('document.write("Code Name: "+navigator.appCodeName+"
");');
print('');

How is possible to keep this info to a MySQL database with PHP?
I think is not possible becouse PHP runs first.
Also how is possible to get with PHP info like this (browser type ecc)
and user's IP address  without Javascript?
Or use Javascript and then run a php script to write it to the MySQL
database?


Thanks

Re: [PHP] Uploading JPEG's - Security Issues?

[Rasmus Lerdorf]

Are you afraid of someone embedding PHP in a .jpg file?  That's not really
an issue as your web server is probably configured to only serve up PHP as
.php files.  Likewise, your web server config is likely such that any .jpg
file is served up as content-type image/jpeg and as such it really doesn't
matter what sort of junk is embedded in the image.  At most it will show
up as a broken image icon in your browser.

[PHP] Uploading JPEG's - Security Issues?

[Andre Dubuc]

My question will probably expose my woeful lack understanding of security 
breaches, but perhaps someone can enlighten me.

On my site, registered members will be allowed to upload jpg/jpeg 
pictures. I'm concerned about possible security problems. First, is there a 
way to ensure that a picture (and not some other malicious stuff) has been 
uploaded? 

Aside from checking the mime type info associated with the file, is there any 
way of verifying what's in the file that has been uploaded? (I'm using Linux 
LM8.2) Would it be possible to fake info to fool this check? Would 
verification checks for html/scripts/commands be of any use?

Secondly, since the file in question is already uploaded and saved to disk in 
/tmp or wherever, wouldn't any verification scheme be sort of, 
'after-the-fact'?

I would appreciate any input, suggestions, or ideas on what to do here. Am I 
being overly-paranoid about this, or do I have  legitimate security concern.

Using: Apache 1.3.23 + PHP 4.1.2 + PostgreSQL 7.2

Tia,
Andre

Re: [PHP] recognising plain text files

[Rasmus Lerdorf]

The uploaded mime type is set by the browser, not by PHP.  So I guess in
your Netscape case it isn't sending the right type.

Perhaps have a look at the 'file' UNIX-level command and use that.

[PHP] recognising plain text files

[Lee P Reilly]

Hi,

I am doing some validation on files that are being upload. I only wish
to allow users to upload files that are in *plain text* format (not
neccessarily with a .txt extension). I have the following piece of code,
which works fine in IE, but in Netscape Navigator:

if ($file_type != "text/plain")
... error handling...

Can anyone explain the reason for this, or offer a better solution?

Thanks,

Lee

[PHP] Problems with mail() w/Win2k

[Jared Boelens]

Hey guys I recently join this list and this is my first real post to it so
if I f**k something up please do beat me to death. :)

I have a simple mailer script that was mailing POSTed form information to a
client, this script was running on a Debian box w/Apache.  This server is
having hardware issues so I moved the sites to a win2k machine.  The same
script bombs out when it trys to use the mail() function.

The error message I receive is not so enlightening:

Warning: Server Error in D:\Inetpub\belcoind.com\mailFunc.php on line 24

I changed the line in the php.ini to read:

SMTP = localhost;

the server has its own smtp service running on it

I also tried:

SMTP = mail.mydomain.com;

This genereated the same problem.

I have been using PHP with Apache forever but I rarely use it on Windows so
any insight into this problem would be great.


Thanks in advance,

-Jared
