Re: [PHP] urlencode and urldecode
You can read about apache's mod_include and its echo element. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_include.html#element.echo 2008/5/17 Chris W [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Whenever you build a query string you need to us the urlencode to encode any characters that may be in there that aren't legal for a URL. On the server I am using now, when you access values using $_GET['xyz'], it does the urldecode for you. I'm not positive, but I am pretty sure, that at one time on a server I used in the past, that I had to manually call urldecode to decode GET vars. Is there a setting to change this or is it something that changed in php in the last few years? -- Chris W KE5GIX Protect your digital freedom and privacy, eliminate DRM, learn more at http://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm; Ham Radio Repeater Database. http://hrrdb.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Loading 2M array crashes program .. but only some of the time
Hi all, I have a php - postgresql program which bombs with a statement that it has run out of memory. I am running php 5.1.6 and postgres 8.3.something. My program bombs, saying that it fails to allocate memory, when it is loading an SQL query result into a php array using pg_fetch_all. The SQL query works fine when I run it in psql. I am running php with a process limit size of 16M. Some of the time this query works, sometimes it dies. It is my impression that it dies after I have been running the php application for a while -- like there is memory that isn't being cleared up. But that is only an impression! What could be going wrong? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] XML file locking
Does anyone know if any of the PHP 5 XML libraries use flock() internally? I'd like to use XMLReader and XMLWriter but I need to make sure theres no writing going on while reading and no more than one writer at time. And if I have to use DOM, does DOM lock the file when it calls save()? Or is there any xml library that allows you to pass in an already opened file stream ?

I use fsockopen and fputs to call a distant URL, but I have the
following
error :
The requested URL /registration/test was not found on this server.
This is my code:
$req =
'username=' . $usr . 'password=' . $pass .
'date_of_birth=' . $year . - . $month . - . $day .
'email=' . $email . 'country=' . $country;
You should be using urlencode on these variables, otherwise you could
end up truncating the data.

However the path www.example.com/registration/test exists
By which I assume you mean it works in a browser. If not, make sure
it works in a browser first.
so why does it says it cannot find the requested url ?
You probably need a Host header to direct the request to the right
website. If you're going to be making manual HTTP requests I suggest
you use Firebug or similar to examine the requests your browser is
making. Even better read the HTTP spec, but I tend to be realistic in
my expectations. Alternatively I'd recommend looking at using the Curl
extension.

[PHP] sql syntax using sprintf
until i started using the techniques for avoiding sql injection, i have been
using a normal insert and select sql query which worked fine.
i have a registration page where a user enters their username and if this
already exists i display a message by executing a select query and if the
username does not exist then i run an insert query.
after adopting the technique to avoid sql injection
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$username = stripslashes($_POST[username]);
$email =stripslashes($_POST[email]);
}
else
{
$username = $_POST[username];
$email =$_POST[email];
}
previously my select and insert query were
INSERT INTO individuals(username, email) values('$username', '$email')
Select username from individuals where username = '$username'
presently the insert query is
$insertquery = sprintf(INSERT INTO individuals (username, email) VALUES
('%s', '%s'),
mysql_real_escape_string($username), mysql_real_escape_string($email));
This insert query is working however the select query is not doing its task
as before of checking if the username already exists or not, even if i
register with the same username again it does not alert that the username
exists.
the select query is
$selectqueryusername = sprintf(Select username from individuals where
username='%s', mysql_real_escape_string($username));
should i change the syntax of the above select query or is there something
else in need to do to fix the select query.
please advice.
thanks.

I suspect that you are giving a very short timeout but then you are not
handling the timeout error properly.

[PHP] Semi-OT: PHP Login with client security
Hi all, Having a slight problem with a demo I gave at a clients last week - looking for a little advise. Part of my demo involved a password protected area - the simplified process is: client enters password on login page if login/password match encrypted database, PHP session is created, form forwards to a secured area secured area checks to make sure PHP session is valid if valid display content, if not, return to login screen. This procedure is what I've used for many years, tested on a variety of servers and connections. It works. During the demo with my client, I was able to enter login/password info, the PHP session was created - however the screen would not forward to the secured area. Instead I was pretended with a blank screen (client only has an outdated/non-updated version of IE6). If I were to type in the URL to the secured area, it would display content properly. As a test, I logged out, closed my browser and started again, this time entering an incorrect login/password - again it would not forward to the next screen properly, however this time when I typed in the full URL, it would not display as the session hadn't been created. I've spoken briefly with my clients IT person, however he's unwilling to share any firewall information or really anything regarding their security setup - which I understand as I'm not an employee and just a contractor. So, after long winded description - does anyone with network security experience have any idea either a) what I would need to ask the IT person to allow for their site only, or b) have any suggestions for alternate password authentication that may work given the above conditions? TIA -Tim
