[PHP] Read From COM1 port
Hi
I'm having trouble reading from COM1, writing works like a charm but I'd like
to be able to read the output from a switch or a router in order to determine
that the command was successful and the configuration actually went fine :-)
doing:
$fp = fopen(COM1, rwb);
fwrite($fp, $username . \r\n);
fwrite($fp, $password . \r\n);
works fine, if I connect using hyperterminal afterwards I'll go straight to the
menus, which shows that I'm logged in and I can actually config the whole
device as I want, but I'd like to know, that each of the commands was received
successful. But if I try to do something like :
$fp = fopen(COM1, rwb);
fwrite($fp, $username . \r\n);
$response = fread($fp, 4096); // is blank! Should return Password:
if($response == 'password')
fwrite($fp, $password . \r\n); // Would be lovely if it was able to read
the return answer Manager :-) else {
print no response?;
exit;
}
This is where it ends. I´ve tried with fputs(), fgets(), fgetc(), popen() and
others. It seems like what I need is a fwrite(), that doesn't return no of
bytes, but the response from the device if any.
Anyone got an idea? Or is this just mission impossible? This is just a small
part of a much larger workflow, which runs in PHP, therefore it would be
preferred if the configs of switches and routers could be in PHP aswell.

Re: [PHP] server compatibilty
Le jeudi 03 mars 2005 à 10:48 +0530, Prateek Tambi a écrit : I got php installed on my pc my web server is apache tomcat 4.0 or something will it support php or not how can i detect that... in the installation readme file there is support for apache 1.3.x and apache 2.0.x if its not supported than what can i do Hi Prateek, Following what you are saying you are running Apache 1.3 or 2.0 (or both) with Tomcat. To run PHP, a good way would be to install the PHP module that is relevant to the Apache server version you are using. The way to do that depends on your computer's operating system. Do you know what it is? Windows? Linux Mandrake? Linux Suse? ...? The best way to try and see if PHP is already installed is to write a PHP script, put it in your web root folder (depends on the operating system again) and try to load the page in a web server. For example, write: ?php phpinfo(); ? into the info.php file, put in in your web root and try to load it. If you see nothing but blank, then it failed (which doesn't mean PHP is not installed, but if it is you still need to configure it). Please read the installation doc on www.php.net to sort it out.

Re: [PHP] patch to php 4.3.10 to disabling URL wrappers in include like statements
Well, of course this was never ment to protect you from inside attacks. But if
you also disable eval() then I believe it's pretty much harder to create a
successfull attack via chmod-777-write-exec procedure (from outside).
This patch is ment to prevent accidental DOS attacks by recursive inclusion
(local users) and to in some degree prevent the execution of external code
via GET/POST variable exploit (remote attack).
But though it is not a complete assessment of security risk it is a step
towards right direction - one can apply it and start thinking about better
solution/other risks etc.
regards,
Bostjan

Nice patch, Tom, will probably use it myself too...
I'll be interested to see if it works in practice...

Ya never know.
I still haven't figured out why spam harvesters don't find even the
simplest obfuscations like %40 and #64;
But I guess if you come up with a billion fish every time you cast your
line, you don't worry about buying better bait.
I *suspect* this situation is different, in that you will have people
actively trying to alter their attacks to bypass this blockage, and it's
pretty simple to bypass.
But, perhaps, it will turn out to be that there are so many unpatched
wide-open places they can find that they'll never bother you again.
I sure hope so, for your sake!

[PHP] How to handle a 64bit FILETIME?
Hello, I'm processing a binary file, and in that file there is a 64bit FILETIME value. This value represents the number of 100-nanoseconds since 1/1/1601.

[PHP] Can't save multiple files if I'm using values pulled from another file...
I'm writing a script that transfers files from a list file and saves them
locally. M
If I use values from the list for the filenames of the saved files, it
appears that none of the files are saved 'cept for the last one. If I put
the values in an array directly in the script file, all is well. I have
confirmed that the values are different and I've tried other methods to
load the file, such as fgets. Here is a simplified version of my script
that has the same problem:
?php
$linklist = file('links.txt');
foreach ($linklist as $link) {
echo saving to $linkbr; // confirm link name
$file = fopen ($link, 'w'); // write dummy text to file
fwrite($file, 'blah');
fclose($file);
}
?
And in links.txt I have:
link one
link two
link three
If I run the script, the only file that will have been created is link
three or whatever is on the bottom. If however, I replace the first line
with:
$linklist = array(link one, link two, link three);
Then the script works as expected. What am I missing? I've wasted three
hours trying to figure this out and I don't know what I could be screwing
up. :(

Re: [PHP] DB INSERT CRON
Hi Shaun, Depending on the urgency of the data being transported into the database from the XML file, you could even run a server process that will wait for a new file to be added to a nominated directory and add the data to the database. As far as I know you could possibly use the PHP engine to that from the command line, command line invocation will not timeout as web scripts. Cron is a good idea if you dont mind the delay. If you had a server process you could have the data insertion completed quite instantly, relatively anyway. You could also write the server side stuff in say Python or a language of the like. Let us know if you need any further specific help.

That's most likely your problem. The last line of your file most likely
does not have a trailing NL character that is why it is the only line
that works.

also maybe you should check that your file handle is ok, so maybe do this
instead:
if ($file = fopen (rtrim($link), 'w')) {
fwrite($file, 'blah');
fclose($file);
}
also there are the following functions:
is_file()
is_dir()
is_readable()
is_writable()
fwrite($file, 'blah');
fclose($file);

And in links.txt I have:
link one
link two
link three
If I run the script, the only file that will have been created is link
three or whatever is on the bottom. If however, I replace the first

$linklist = array(link one, link two, link three);

}
if(log in button has been pressed)
{
session_variable=yes

if(session_variable==yes)
{
display the string you have logged in and place a button on the page
so they can log out.
}
else display you are not logged in
The problem is that I can always get back to the you have logged in
display by simply pressing back, even though once the user hits the
logout button the variable is no longer yes? I have to hit the back
button a few times to get the you have logged in message. No doubt
there are mistakes elsewhere in my code, but can anyone just verify that
the above code should run without a problem?

This is a way to run a SQL query, capture the return value, and
perform an action if the query failed. For code readability, I would
probably write that as two statements:
$variable = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM blah);
if(!$variable) { error_handler(mysql_error()); }
in terms of readability an alternative if to write it like so:
if(! ($variable = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM blah)) {
// do stuff
}
what you have to realise is that the expression '$variable = mysql_query(SELECT *
FROM blah)'
has a return value itself - which just happens to be the same as the value of
$variable.
to put it another way, when you do:
echo $variable;
your not saying:
output the contents of this variable
but your actually saying:
output the result of the expression '$variable'
it just so happens that the result of the expression is this case
if the contents of $variable.
hopefully you get what I mean!, no doubt there are others that can explain it
better!
See the documentation for information on mysql_query return values:

That is they define the rules for the classes that implement them, but not any code (where an abstract class can implement code).

Maybe the : is some XML thing I just don't get, but maybe whomever wrote

So what you've got is an object constructed with invalid properties that
you can't possibly access.
Maybe if you type-case that object to an array, and use:
$resData['domain:chkData']
you would get what you want...
If all else fails, scrap the fancy XML parser, and go with:

$xml = /* Load XML into a single long string */;
$resDatas = explode('resData', $xml);

RE: [PHP] Preventing data from being reposted?
POST is not a security measure. I think what's special about POST is that it is meant to hold a lot more data. With GET there is a limit to how long the querystring can be. POST also has a (larger) limit. Actually, both *could* be limitless. A server is require to have NO LESS THAN $x for its limit on GET. A server is require to have NO LESS THAN $y for its limit on POST. $y $x but it has a (possible) limit. Servers are recommended to have the limits as high as possible. So, again, it boils down to this: POST versus GET is an aesthetic choice, not Security, not Performance. -- 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

Re: [PHP] Weird WMV/Media Player behaviour (Loading media file twice)
Cabbar Duzayak wrote: My php file (used below) does nothing, but logs the requests+checks access, opens the actual .wmv file and prints it out. The problem when I use the following code is that, media player (for some reason) sends 2 requests to the source (http://www.mydomain.com/aa/bb/cc.wmv) to show this instead of one, the first one reads something like 65K, then it sends the second request to retrieve the whole file... I checked it in various ways (verified that it is not because of .htaccess, my code!), but could not figure out why. And, 2 requests come within 1 second difference (the server is on a local network). Does it happen the same in a different browser? Perhaps the *browser* snags the first 65K to see if it really *IS* a MediaPlayer file, and then hands off the URL to Media Player or its plugin or whatever, which gets the whole file to play it. The media player itself may also have plugins for reading the beginning of a .wmv file in order to display the artist, title, etc info as text, then a different plugin to read the actual audio, which snags the whole file. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can avoid this double request? I doubt you can avoid it at all... It's also remotely possible that WMV files have embedded quality levels, so the first 56K is a test to see what sort of connection speed is available, and then Media Player decides to get the HiFi or LoFi (or whatever) from the stream... That would be a really dumb way to do things (unlike Apple's RTSP protocol) but we *are* talking Microsoft, here, and they do a *lot* of dumb things :-) I sincerely doubt this last explanation has any basis in fact -- Only that it *could* be true, given what little I know of WMV and MS...

submit the form data, the $_POST[] data is completely empty and the
_SERVER variable that indicates the type of data is set to GET.
In the script is the following code:

//$action = $_POST[action];
} else {
$action = $_GET[action];
}
Normally the second line is not commented. When I comment out that line,
then the $_POST array has all of the data I would expect it to. When it
is not commented, then it does not work.
Just to make sure that I am really confused, this bit of code is *after*
the call to var_dump($_POST), but *before* the code that creates the form.
Does anyone have any ideas about why setting this variable has such a
large and seemingly unrelated affect?

RE: [PHP] Preventing data from being reposted?
Hi!
If I understand you correctly, I hope this helps:
?
// file.php
ob_start();
session_start();
If (!isset($_SESSION['login'])){
If ( !( isset($_POST['name']) isset($_POST['password'])
trim($_POST['name'])!= trim($_POST['password'])!= ) ){
?
form method=post action=file.php
input type=text name=name
input type=password name=password
/form
?
}
else {
if (trim($_POST['name'])==yourname
trim($_POST['password'])==yourpassword){
$_SESSION['login']=$_POST['name'];
Header(Location file.php);
}
else {
// wrong data.
Header(Location file.php);
}
}
}
else {
$name=$_SESSION['login'];
echo You are logged as .$name;
}
?
There are probably some errors I haven't run the code.
Pedro.

Is there anyway I can prevent data from being reposted when I hit the
back button on my browser? When I hit back I get a message from my
browser asking do I want to repost the data, can I prevent this window
from appearing?

[PHP] Re: mysql problems
Thank you both for your responces. Unfotuantely there is no form that instantiates this action. So the double submit (while a good idea), is not possible. As for some sample code, it is part of a rather complicated system that makes a number of changes but essentailly what is going on is this: 1. Grab all items that we need to do some shipping stuff to. 2. Foreach through the items, giving each item number to a function to assign it to a customer and create a mailling label. That simple! The interesting this is this - the duplicate record is inserted into the mailing labels queue. I can see it long before I grab the data for output to labels. Moreover, I can tell that the problem isn't in the original item select statement because the function (executed for each item) would have created different insert times in the database based on the now( ). More ideas? Thanks! Jed R. Brubaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all - I could use a lead on a problem. I just don't know where to start. I have a PHP script that populates a database table. No big deal. It creates mailing labels. However, a weird things keeps happening - every once in a while, a query is run twice. It is the same query, same information, even the same time (there is a now() in the query - and it is identical). So the question is a simple one - is this a PHP problem or a MySQL problem? Or somewhere in the MySQL extension? And how would I know? There is one clue to this otherwise vague problem. I believe that this predominantly happens when the database is under an above average load. I would appreciate any help that I might be able to get.
