[PHP] a better way to transfer data?

2006-04-11 Thread blackwater dev

Hello all,

I am currently running freetds on a linux box that needs to move data from a
remote mssql db to the local mysql db.  I wanted to use bcp but freetds
couldn't as the data I am moving contains a blob field.  I am currently
using php to select all the rows from the mssql db, and then looping through
the results and putting them into the local mysql db but this is horribly
slow and there has to be a better way.

How can I do this more efficiently?

Thanks!

[PHP] user authentication

Hi,

i'm sure that it's a stupid question but i would like to have your feedback
on it.

i have MySQL  with 2 users in the mysql database which are root and
uimmense.
i suppose that what i see in the password field is the sha1 crypted
password.

is it correct or not ?

but lets continue...
in fact, my web application should use a database named immense.
in this database, there is a table named profiles.
in this table, the login uimmense and its MD5 password are stored.

the problem is :
when i use mysql_connect('localhost','uimmense',myMD5password); to connect
to MySQL database system, the connection is refused because the MD5 password
does not correspond to what is saved into users table within mysql
database... :-(

here is my question :
all my users registered into my immense database, should be also
registered as users of MySQL database system ? (which is stored into users
table, into mysql database) ?

is it clear ?

i do not see really realistic if everytime that a new user is registered to
my application, i have to create him a profile for MySQL database.

thanks a lot,
Alain

Is there a reason you need to have each user login into mysql individually?
Most often a single login is used for the script to log into the database,
and all the user authentication is handled at the PHP level.

This is more suitable as a MySQL question. Having said that;

If you wish the user to have permissions on the MySQL database then you
must grant them permissions at which time they are added to the MySQL
user's database. Once they are added you must then flush the privileges
so that their permissions take effect. You can do this during
registration by executing these queries if the PHP user has permissions
to perform grants on the database. In all likelihood the PHP user (the
user which the script runs as) does not have permission to perform
grants.

[PHP] Strange problem after getting data from the DB

2006-04-11 Thread Ryan A

Hi,
I dont know if this is a bug or something but I am getting some strange
results from what should be a simple program;

I have a bunch of movie titles in my database, this is the structure:

part_url
part_size
part_format
bandwidth_type
flick_name

and the above table contains data like this:
domain.com/part1.mpg,144mb,MPG,LOW,Spiderman
domain.com/part2.mpg,104mb,MPG,LOW,Spiderman
domain.com/part3.mpg,110mb,MPG,LOW,Spiderman
etc




In my script I run this SQL:
select * from table order by flick_name
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($q);

then a little below:

$flick=array();
for($i=0; $i  $num_rows; $i++)
 {
 $row = mysql_fetch_row($q);
 $flick_name  = $row[5];
 $part_url  = $row[0];
 $part_size  = $row[1];
 $time_length = $row[2];
 $part_format = $row[3];
 $bw_type  = $row[4];

$flick[$row[5]][] = array (part_url = $row['0'], part_size = $row[1],
time_length = $row[2],part_format = $row[3],bw_type = $row[4]);
 }


-
Which basically gets all the records nicely under the flicks name, then I
format the data onto my page like this:


Flick name
---
Part1.mpg - 144mb - MPG - LOW
Part2.mpg - 104mb - MPG - LOW
Part3.mpg - 110mb - MPG - LOW



So far so good, but heres where i am getting some strange results, there is
a movie called Try A Teen and for some reason this movie is split like
this



Try A Teen
---
Part1.mpg - 144mb - MPG - LOW
Part2.mpg - 104mb - MPG - LOW
Part3.mpg - 110mb - MPG - LOW

Try A Teen
---
Part4.mpg - 144mb - MPG - LOW
Part5.mpg - 104mb - MPG - LOW
Part6.mpg - 110mb - MPG - LOW


After a lot of searching through the page source I see that the first Try A
Teen has a line break (after the n in teen whatevers there appears on
the next line), thats why it seems different...but when I went into the
mySql db via phpmyadmin...there is no linebreak to be found anywhereand
all the other titles are working perfectly fine... what do you think is the
problem? Bug? Something with the script? MySql?

If you want the script or the DB email me offlist and i'll send it to you.

Thanks!

Ray:

It was an interesting read -- but, I found it, and the comments, confusing.

The difference I was able to get was I know if you display a C 
pointer, would will see a memory address -- if you display a PHP 
reference, you will see the value. As such, one is a memory address 
and the other is a symbol table alias -- but they still seem to work 
the same. I haven't seen a working difference yet.


Additionally, what I don't get is this:

?php
$a = 10;
echo($a br/);
ref1($a);
echo($a br/);

$a = 10;
echo($a br/);
ref2($a);
echo($a br/);

$a = 10;
echo($a br/);
ref3($a);
echo($a br/);

?


?php
function ref1($a)
{
$a--;
}

?

?php
function ref2($a)
{
$a--;
}

?

?php
function ref3($a)
{
$a--;
}

?

The first two functions work as I would expect. The last one is shown 
in the documentation, but doesn't work as I expected. There doesn't 
appear to be any difference between ref1 and ref3 -- so what's with 
the ampersand in ref3? What is an ampersand supposed to mean/do 
when it precedes a function?


Thanks.

I dunno where you plan to put the AJAX part...


-snip- code

Richard:

My understanding and experience (granted limited thus far) -- is that 
it's not like you put ajax into something, but rather the other way 
around. You use ajax to insert/inject code between specific html tags 
(i.e., DOM) to preform certain operations within those tags. Nothing 
else is changed.


As such, he could put the entire snip-it of code you just provided 
under the direction of ajax to be used within portion of the form 
that the loads images. That way only the loaded image would change 
and not the entire form.


While the demo below is not uploading a picture from a desktop, it is 
loading a picture from a file using ajax without reloading the entire 
page.


http://www.xn--ovg.com/ajax_w_picts/

Replace the code that is loading the picture from a file with 
uploading the picture from the desktop, and you have what he's 
asking.


However, using ajax here is not going to speed things up and by 
comparison, a simple refresh will take much less time than uploading 
an image -- so, what's the point other than not seeing a refresh?

I'm running php 4 and stream_socket_client() isn't there. So, I

echo a href=\page.php?$s\Page/a;

Mostly for passing the session as a GET variable to another page, like 
for anything from authentication tokens to form data etc...
Of course for form data it would probably be better to encapsulate the 
session veriables within the form.

Or perhaps more effectively:

...or to tweak the OP's own syntax, adding curly braces to make sure 
PHP is parsing the variable properly:

type=\text/javascript\alert('${errorMessage}');/script;


Mace, what value of $error are you testing?  Is the first plain echo 
line executing?  If it is, I suspect it's the curly braces you've 
been missing (although I can't say why; the single-quotes should 
provide sufficient delimiters for PHP).


Tangentially, I'd like to mention that if your error message appears 
in an alert but nowhere else, then after the user makes the alert go 
away (which they might do with an errant keystroke before reading it 
properly) the message can't be recalled.  I recommend doing for the 
user almost exactly what you're doing for debugging purposes -- 
output the error message to the page AND to a javascript 
alert().  The alert() gets their attention, and the page-bound error 
message lets them read it again.


if($error)
{
echo  hdErrmsg
div class=error$errorMessage/div
script type=text/javascriptalert('${errorMessage'});/script
hdErrmsg;
}

[PHP] help with multidimentional arrays

2006-04-11 Thread Bing Du

Hello,

What I intend to do is put the database query results in a
multidimentional array like this.

$sponsor_id['sponsor1'] = ('project1 title', 'project2 title', 'project3
title');
$sponsor_id['sponsor2'] = ('project1 title','project7 title');


Here is the code snippet for doing that:

==
while( ($rec = odbtp_fetch_array($qry)) ) {

   if (empty($sponsor_id[$rec[1]])) {
  $sponsor_id[$rec[1]] = array();
   } else {
   array_push($sponsor_id[$rec[1]], $rec[0]);
  }
 }
==

Now, when the following code is used to print the array $sponsor_id, it
only prints out the keys of the array which are:

sponsor1
sponsor2

Those project titles are not printed out.

==
foreach ($sponsor_id as $sponsor = $arr)
echo $sponsor:;
foreach ($arr[$sponsor] as $project) {
echo $projectbr;
}
==

My expected output should be like:

sponsor1:
  project1 title
  project2 title
  project3 title

sponsor2
  project1 title
  project7 title

What is wrong?  I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Bing

[PHP] Passing params to PHP served paged in iFrame...

2006-04-11 Thread Richard Dyce


Dear all,

Not so simple question. Here's what I'm trying to do.

I want to be able to provide a simple script tag pair so that my  
client's can cut and paste it into their site. This is to try and to  
make it as simple as posisble for them ;-) The script is then meant  
to write an iFrame into the document, using the served PHP file for  
the source. So far, so good. Now for the tricky part.


I want the PHP file to include a pop-up menu which calls a script in  
the calendar.js file, which in turn reloads (using replace so that  
the back button doesn't break) the served page, but with an updated  
parameter - essentially the new year and month to display.


Here are the bare bones of my not-quite-functioning solution. (I'm  
using Firefox - once I get it working I realise I'll need to tweak  
how I get the object to do the replace on, and indeed the replace  
function itself for IE 5 etc...)


The alert is working (so the parameter is being passed), but the  
reload isn't. What am I doing wrong?


Hope some passing geniuses out there can help/have cracked this one  
before.


R

 example client.html file as follows:

html
  head
titleClient/title
  /head
  body
h3Calendar/h3
script type=text/javascript src=calendar.js/script
  /body
/html
---

 calendar.js file as follows:

document.write('iframe id=calendarFrame src=server.php');
document.write('/iframe');

function reloadCalendar(yearMonth) {
  alert(yearMonth);
  var URL = 'server.php?yearmonth=' + yearMonth;
  document.getElementById('calendarFrame').location.replace(URL);
  return false;
}

server.php file as follows:

  body

  form name=emailForm id=emailForm action=server.php
  select name=yearmonth onchange=top.reloadCalendar(this.value);

[PHP] internationalization of web site

Hi,

Sorry to send this email on both mailing lists but as i suppose that both

i would like to make my web site tune to user language.
for that i was thinking to create some XML files where all words can be
found and based on the icon (country flag) that user clicked, i will load a
specific XML file to tune my PHP pages.

i know from Java exprience that it exists also another possibility via
browser setup for preference in language, but i do not know how it works in
PHP.

please, could you give me some tips, helps, or tutorial for such request ?

thanks a lot,

Re: [PHP] function by reference

2006-04-11 Thread Martin Alterisio

The ampersand before the function name indicates that the function returns a
reference instead of a copy of the variable, for example:

?php
  function max($var1, $var2) {
if ($var1  $var2) return $var1;
else return $var2;
  }

  $global1 = 10;
  $global2 = 9;
  $maxglobal = max($global1, $global2);
  $maxglobal++;
  echo $global1;
  //this will print 11 since $maxglobal is a reference to $global1
?

2006/4/11, tedd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


 Additionally, what I don't get is this:

 ?php
 $a = 10;
 echo($a br/);
 ref1($a);
 echo($a br/);

 $a = 10;
 echo($a br/);
 ref2($a);
 echo($a br/);

 $a = 10;
 echo($a br/);
 ref3($a);
 echo($a br/);

 ?


 ?php
 function ref1($a)
 {
 $a--;
 }

 ?

 ?php
 function ref2($a)
 {
 $a--;
 }

 ?

 ?php
 function ref3($a)
 {
 $a--;
 }

 ?

 The first two functions work as I would expect. The last one is shown
 in the documentation, but doesn't work as I expected. There doesn't
 appear to be any difference between ref1 and ref3 -- so what's with
 the ampersand in ref3? What is an ampersand supposed to mean/do
 when it precedes a function?

 Thanks.

[PHP] CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER

Can anybody expand on the meaning and correct usage of:
CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER

Just so you know this is not a question with no effort to find out for
myself behind it... :-)

So far, I've found these:

http://php.net/curl_setopt
TRUE to return the raw output when CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER is used.
That's kinda self-referential, to tell you the truth...
I haven't really learned anything new from the docs than I could
deduce from the words binary and transfer

http://blog.unitedheroes.net/archives/p/1630/
Another guy at least as confused as me, if not more so

http://curl.haxx.se/mail/curlphp-2002-06/0029.html
You don't need the BINARYTRANSFER option (I'm not even sure what this
does)
He seems to know what he's talking about...
But I'm not quite getting the context, so maybe *I* need it even if
his OP didn't.

http://www.roadsend.com/p/forum/viewThread.php?mID=6e9a196a14179d25c04382132043e38cpageID=comForumexpandedIds=c83be39d0fbed2393d8cd1c7accaf9f7
That option is not an actual curl option, in fact -- it has something
to do with PHP's own internals.

[nb]
Which would go a long way to explaining why I'm not finding
BINARYTRANSFER documented on the curl site, eh?
It's strictly a PHP internals thing?
[/nb]

Now, just from what I've got so far...

There are two rational explanations for this option, both equally
valid, that *I* personally can think of:

#1.
If you want to get binary data through curl, such as a JPEG/GIF or
whatever, you need this so PHP will not treat the data as a
null-terminated string, but will store it as a binary string
internally.

#2.
You only need this in FTP to switch from ASCII to BINARY mode.

In my own personal experimentation, I have *SOME* evidence that #1 is
correct: If I use curl to snag some HTML, then parse an IMG tag, then
use curl to snag that JPEG URL, then pass that JPEG to
imagecreatefromstring() I get a lot less errors and segfaults if I use
BINARYTRANSFER.

Unfortunately, *after* I have used:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);
$jpeg = curl_exec($curl);
I need to snag another page of HTML so I do:

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 0);
$html = curl_exec($curl);

Seems reasonable, right?

Unfortunately, at THAT point, all hell breaks loose.

Specifically, the following are all (usually) true:

#1
The HTML I snag has all kinds of junk characters tacked onto the end:
html.../htmlZZZ?98q7w4njkvn438jio

#2
I get messages like:
ht=0x12345678 being cleaned
And the script just sorta ends in the middle...
A Google for this yielded PHP Source:
http://cvs.php.net/viewcvs.cgi/ZendEngine2/zend_hash.c?view=markup

Seeing as how the function is named _zend_is_inconsistent and it's
taking a HashTable as an arg, and if the check was HT_OK it just
returns, and my error message comes after that, and it is followed by
a call to zend_bailout()...

I'm thinking I've managed to scramble PHP's RAM hash table of
data/variables or something in a very bad way, right?...

I've got a bug report already filed under that assumption, but the
point of all this is that maybe I'm just being stoopid and using
CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER when I shouldn't, cuz I got no idea what it's
really for...

Anybody got a clue to lend?

Thanks for listening.

Actually, unless you are using SSL (https://example.com) then it
REDUCES security as somebody *could* intercept the session ID.

What it increases is browser-compatibility -- Specifically, it allows
browsers and other user agents that do not accept/return cookies to
use a session.

Some users, such as myself, do not generally allow Cookies unless they
want the content bad enough, and trust the site to not be sharing
personal/trackable information with other sites.

It's a pain in the ass, but it's important to me to not get as much
JUNK mail, email, etc and I *KNOW* sites are doing this kind of thing
when I use unique email addresses and they cross from one site to the
next.

E.G., just yesterday the City of Chicago sent spam to a unique email
address I gave to PIRG.

If your cookies are always on, always accepted, you have to assume
that SOME sites are tracking you, sharing the URLs you visit with
other sites, and sharing whatever personal info they can find out
about you with their partner/affiliate sites, who can then target
their advertising (on-line and off-line) at you.  They've invariably
wrapped this all up in a very long-winded Privacy (sic) Policy which
nobody reads anyway.

Using Sessions in the URL can be as simple as turning on the options
in php.ini, or using .htaccess to turn them on.

You could also roll your own to embed the session ID in the URLs you
care about, ignoring, for example, images and javascript and CSS, and
thus making your site SLIGHTLY less standard and amenable to attack
from a shotgun random-selection of victim.  Of course, that's
off-balanced by your maintainability of the code you have to
write/maintain yourself to handle the session ID. It's not a TON of
code, for some well-structured applications, so in some cases it's
probably worth it

There are also some techniques you can take to validate the user with
session IDs over non-SSL connections:
  Alter the session ID on a regular basis, so that old IDs are void
  Embed a second token in the GET/POST data that also expires
  Challenge users for passwords before particularly sensitive actions

 What am I doing wrong? Please help me. I was trying for a week and
 nobody could help me on the hungarian PHP list. I'm lost.

Step #1:
Create and surf to a phpinfo() file:
?php phpinfo();?

Check the php.ini setting in the top portion to see where php.ini
MUST BE for it to be read.

This directory was set at compile-time, by whomever happened to
compile the php.exe (and dll) that day.

You can't change it ; You have to live with it.
[Actually, in recent Apache versions, you can use an httpd.conf
setting to alter it, but let's not confuse things that are
version-specific]

Step #2:
Find your php.ini file, and MOVE it to where phpinfo() wants it to be.

If you have no php.ini file, find the php.ini-dist file, copy it, and
rename it.

Step #3
In php.ini look at the extensions_dir setting.
Fix it.


One thing is clear from your output:  You've GOT a lot of extensions
working, so you probably already have all of this correct.

Nevertheless, you follow the first 3 steps because that's just the way
you make SURE you have things set up like you think you have them set
up, even if it all looks good...

Step #4.
Compare version numbers of your mssql_php.dll and the version of PHP
you are running.  You CANNOT mix-n-match old DLLs with new PHP and
vice versa.  It will sometimes work until you happen to use the one
function that CHANGED between versions.

If you just went out and found some random mssql_php.dll to throw in
the directory, it is NOT going to work.

In recent PHP versions, I think it won't even let you screw this up,
as each module is, I think, tagged with an internal version reference
number and  PHP will reject invalid DLLs.  I think...  But in the old
days, it was a common mistake for folks to install mis-matched DLL
versions and have all kinds of trouble.

Step #4a
Check your log files.  I'm assuming ISS actually HAS logfiles...  It
must have, right?  Might be in system events log.  Might be in an
error_log file next to your IIS web traffic logs.  Knowing
Microsoft, it might be *ANYWHERE*...  But, wherever it is, find it,
and read it.  If all else fails, you can surf to PHP, and then use
Explorer to search for files changed in the past five minutes.  Or, at
least, I think it will let you search in the past five minutes. 
Yesterday I went looking to do that and could only find files changed
in the past day.  Ugh.
I'm guessing that you might find an error message about the
mssql_php.dll being the wrong version...

Step #5.
Switch to a superior web server: Apache
:-)

Step #6.
Switch to a superior OS like Linux or FreeBSD
:-) :-) :-)

Re: [PHP] user authentication

On Tue, April 11, 2006 10:31 am, Alain Roger wrote:
 i have MySQL  with 2 users in the mysql database which are root and
 uimmense.
 i suppose that what i see in the password field is the sha1 crypted
 password.

 is it correct or not ?

It could be SHA1, or it could be something else...

It *IS* the output from the MySQL password() function which changed
its internals from version to version, and which you should avoid
using for that reason.

 but lets continue...
 in fact, my web application should use a database named immense.
 in this database, there is a table named profiles.
 in this table, the login uimmense and its MD5 password are stored.

Let's be clear, here.

Did you store:
password

Or did you store:
5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99
(I.E., md5('password')

You should probably NOT be storing the plain-text version in your
database, unless you are looking at a super-low security needs
application.

 the problem is :
 when i use mysql_connect('localhost','uimmense',myMD5password); to
 connect
 to MySQL database system, the connection is refused because the MD5
 password
 does not correspond to what is saved into users table within mysql
 database... :-(

If you are sending in:
5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99
as the password, that is not gonna work...

Here's what MySQL does (more or less):

$query = SELECT pass FROM mysql.user WHERE user = '$user' AND host =
'$host';
$valid_md5 = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
if (md5($pass) === $valid_md5){
  //valid user
}
else{
  //invalid user
}

The whole POINT of this process is that if somebody breaks into your
MySQL database somehow, and they've got:
5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99
they can't USE that because they don't know the original password.

So MySQL isn't looking for you to send: 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

You have to send the password whose md5() hash is
5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99
(Which happens to be 'password' in this case)

This same technique of storing ONLY a one-way encrypted value so that
the data itself is useless for logging in is used all over the place
in the computer industry.

 here is my question :
 all my users registered into my immense database, should be also
 registered as users of MySQL database system ? (which is stored into
 users
 table, into mysql database) ?

Probably not.

You've got TWO levels / meanings of users here:

MySQL 'user' which executes queries on behalf of your PHP scripts.

Your PHP application / website has 'users' which are allows to do
specific things within your PHP application -- based on whatever logic
/ rules YOU want to impose.

Now, sometimes, there will be a correlation between these two sets of
users.

For example, you might set up TWO MySQL users:
'admin'
'uimmense'

And your web appliation might have two different classes of users:
'visitor'
'admin'

And then, in the PHP code, in the '/admin/admin.php' scripts, you'd
use the 'admin' MySQL user, which has insert/update/delete
permissions.

But your homepage and other pages for normal visitors would use the
'visitor' user to connect, and they have only SELECT priveleges.

Of course, there are some wrinkles here:

Maybe the 'visitor' needs INSERT access to a 'guestbook' table so they
can add comments.

Or maybe the 'visitor' needs INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE on a 'session' table
so you can store PHP session data in MySQL.

Still, those would be exceptions to the general rule that 'visitor'
only does SELECT on most tables.

 is it clear ?

 i do not see really realistic if everytime that a new user is
 registered to
 my application, i have to create him a profile for MySQL database.

There might be specific applications where this would be true, like a
webhost Control Panel -- though that also probably would have an even
more complex MySQL-user/Site-user relationship.

But, no, in general, you should not be adding a new user into
mysql.user table for each registered user of a web application.

You DO need to sit down and work out what classes of user you need,
and what level of complexity you want to work with.

*MANY* simple sites just have one user to connect to MySQL with
SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE privileges and that's it on the MySQL
side.

On the web application side, you'd have one or two classes of user:
'visitor' and 'admin' and only your PHP logic and authentication keeps
'admin' usage safe from all 'visitors'

This is, admittedly, not quite as good a defense in depth where you
have 'visitor' and 'admin' users in MySQL, but on most shared hosts,
you don't really have any other options.

So you test the PHP authentication very heavily, and make SURE the
passwords for 'admin' users are good passwords, and build in a bit of
extra protection defense in depth into the admin authentication logic.

Security is not binary.  It's a gradient.

You have to really think hard about it, all day, every day, if you
want anything more than token appearances of security

I'm not an expert, but...

I suspect that many users don't bother to set their browser
preferences for language in the first place.

Even if they do, you have to assume that they might choose to read in
a second language if they suspect the content/translation is better on
some pages.

So you'll probably need the little flags anyway.

And the browser-specficied language preference will probably be not
all that useful.

The PHP site seems to have a multi-lingual solution itself.  And
there's a source code link on every page to let you see how they do
it.

 The following code:

A 'var' is a 'property' of a Class instance.

It needs to be inside the class, but not inside a function.

$this-db_username = $DB_LOGIN, however, is a statement which must be
inside a function, or used in your script.

 If you want to set a default:

 var $db_username = '';

This is also very nifty.

 That looks like to much for just assigning value to a variable?!

If you don't NEED the functions, you can just assign the values any
time you want willy-nilly:

?php
  class foo(){ };
  $foo = new foo();
  $foo-db_username = $DB_LOGIN;
?

You don't even NEED to declare the member variable db_username.

I'd recommend AT LEAST doing:
?php
  class foo(){
var db_username;
  }

  $foo = new foo();
  $foo-db_username = $DB_LOGIN;
?

Because that at least clarifies up-front what member variables you
will be using.

You might even document them, if they're not 100% obvious.

 I would need 4 of those functions just to set the value of 4 variables
 to a
 value saved inside another variable. If I do understand you right, I
 would
 also have to call that function inside the class to get that value
 set?:

   function SetDBUsername($db_username) {
 $this-db_username = $db_username;
   }


   SetDBUsername();

You cannot just call this function inside a class.

In fact, really, NOTHING gets called directly inside a class
definition.

A class definition is all about defining how the object will behave.

Creating the object, and calling the function[s] to make it actually
*DO* something happen outside the class definition.

Of course, methods in the class definition call other methods and
functions and alter things -- but it's like setting up a giant
dominoes series, and knocking over that first dominoe.

The class {} statement sets up all the dominoes.
$foo = new foo();
$foo-start();
hits the first dominoe.

 Is there not something more easy than that. For example $var1 = $var2;

Easier to start with yes.

Easier to understand later, and document, and know what's going on,
not so much...

Also, having the functions to read/write your variables CAN be crucial
later if you decide to change internals of how that data is stored.

Or if you decide that you want to profile how often that data changes,
or how long it takes to change it.

The function provides a single choke-point to be able to moderate your
data traffic.

Not having the function is easier but can be trouble-some later when
you want to do something different or more complex with the data.

If you *KNOW* that for all time into enternity long after you are dead
and gone nobody will ever ever need to do that kind of complex stuff,
then you can go right ahead and just set the variable in your script
anywhere/anytime you want.

Gotta wonder why you'd use OOP under those circumstances in the first
place, but there it is.

Why not just:

1. Allow the user to make their own selection of language -- like

2. Then have different text includes to cover that specific language.

 Thanks. T

 How can we get the link in the URL of the flash file to recognize

 like.

 url =
 https://secure.store.com/HousewivesUnleashed.306/buy.cfm?p=1000141m=306dc

 as opposed to what we currently have.

 url = https://secure.
 store.com/HousewivesUnleashed.306/buy.cfm?p=1000141m=306;

 Thoughts?

SESSION ID is usually stored in the COOKIES.

The Cookies do not transfer from domain to domain, and, depending on
the settings of the SetCookie/headers, won't transfer from HTTP to
HTTPS.
[Actually, they might NEVER trasfer, but I forget...]

I *think* the Cookie data gets folded into $_REQUEST, but you'd have
to check that to be sure.

However, 'sid' is probably supposed to be 'PHPSESSID' and, for sure,
you should NOT have '' around it when it's embedded inside 

The actual name of the Cookie, default to PHPSESSID, could have easily
been changed in your PHP code, or php.ini, or .htacess or...

So, all told, my best guess at the correct answer is:
$url = https://...dcwid=$_REQUEST[aid]udfo2=$_REQUEST[PHPSESSID];;

You'll need to do a bit of research/work to find out for sure, though.

print_r($_REQUEST);
is your friend.

 Scrolling back and forward through my PHP generated search engine,

Use GET?

The basic paradigm involved is that GET should be safe for search
engines and bots to read and POST is used to alter data on the
server, so engines and bots should not, in general, crawl through
POST.

That's a generalization, and probably should be amended to blindly
crawl as there are obviously a zillion cases where an automated
process to do POST operations is the right answer

Anyway, the browser is assuming that POST data *DID* something on the
server, and re-doing that action could be harmful.  So it's giving the
user the option of re-doing it, or not.

If you use GET, the browser knows that you expect them to re-visit
and it's okay to re-load the page.

Re: [PHP] function by reference

The ampersand before the function name indicates that the function

else return $var2;
  }

  $global1 = 10;
  $global2 = 9;
  $maxglobal = max($global1, $global2);
  $maxglobal++;

if ($var1  $var2) return $var1;
else return $var2;
  }

  $global1 = 10;
  $global2 = 9;
  $maxglobal = max($global1, $global2);
  $maxglobal++;
  echo $global1;
  //this will print 11 since $maxglobal is a reference to $global1

Note the absence ampersands in the function, but an ampersand remains

Re: [PHP] Session_id within URL

 Actually, unless you are using SSL (https://example.com) then it
 REDUCES security as somebody *could* intercept the session ID.

 What it increases is browser-compatibility -- Specifically, it allows
 browsers and other user agents that do not accept/return cookies to
 use a session.

 Some users, such as myself, do not generally allow Cookies unless they
 want the content bad enough, and trust the site to not be sharing
 personal/trackable information with other sites.

 It's a pain in the ass, but it's important to me to not get as much
 JUNK mail, email, etc and I *KNOW* sites are doing this kind of thing
 when I use unique email addresses and they cross from one site to the
 next.

 E.G., just yesterday the City of Chicago sent spam to a unique email
 address I gave to PIRG.

 If your cookies are always on, always accepted, you have to assume
 that SOME sites are tracking you, sharing the URLs you visit with
 other sites, and sharing whatever personal info they can find out
 about you with their partner/affiliate sites, who can then target
 their advertising (on-line and off-line) at you.  They've invariably
 wrapped this all up in a very long-winded Privacy (sic) Policy which
 nobody reads anyway.

 Using Sessions in the URL can be as simple as turning on the options
 in php.ini, or using .htaccess to turn them on.

 You could also roll your own to embed the session ID in the URLs you
 care about, ignoring, for example, images and javascript and CSS, and
 thus making your site SLIGHTLY less standard and amenable to attack
 from a shotgun random-selection of victim.  Of course, that's
 off-balanced by your maintainability of the code you have to
 write/maintain yourself to handle the session ID. It's not a TON of
 code, for some well-structured applications, so in some cases it's
 probably worth it

 There are also some techniques you can take to validate the user with
 session IDs over non-SSL connections:
   Alter the session ID on a regular basis, so that old IDs are void
   Embed a second token in the GET/POST data that also expires
   Challenge users for passwords before particularly sensitive actions
