Re: [PHP] IE Problem Detecting Post Variables
I find the html/php option simpler and more accessible. I've got it
working now. I only needed to use unique input names and test for the
posted variable according to w3c standards.
Here is the relevant w3c definition:
When a pointing device is used to click on the image, the form is
submitted and the click coordinates passed to the server. The x value
is measured in pixels from the left of the image, and the y value in
pixels from the top of the image. The submitted data includes name.x=x-
value and name.y=y-value where name is the value of the name
attribute, and x-value and y-value are the x and y coordinate values,
respectively.
PHP modifies the posted variable name to name_x, name_y to comply with
PHP's variable naming convention requirements.
Thanks to those all responded for pointing me in the right direction.

SV: [PHP] Sending files via POST
*bump* I'm a bit stuck.. I'm using the PEAR http_Request to send files and data as HTTP POST, which is working fine if I in fact have the files on disk on the server. Just using the method addFile.. Okay But what if the file data is only in a variable? It feels like overkill to first save to disk, and then read it in with addFile... The HTTP POST I'm looking at will need to add files both from disk and variables. then it's not a file, it's data held in RAM (non-TSR). Absolutely true, but the receiving end is expecting the data as a file upload. Are you looking to stream the file content (such as the header or initial $n bytes) from you local system to the server? If so, sorry, but you're in the wrong place. I don't really understand what you're asking for above, but to try to explain... My server is to create a HTTP POST request to another system, with a couple of form variables and also 2-3 files. Much like a manual html form will do, but with no human intervention. Ideas are welcome.. My idea is to ask the question: how is the file data getting into the variable? Well, some of the form values are static, like user name etc. Then one file will be static (and stored on disk as a file) and added with method 'addData' to the POST request. Another file is generated dynamically from data stored in a SQL database and data provided by user input from visiting my site. Of course I can store this dynamically generated data to disk, add it with 'addData' and then delete it after the request is made, but it doesn't really feel like the right thing to do.

(Although it will no longer be a submit button, so you'll have to capture the click and perform the submit using Javascript which leads back to accessibility issues, etc.) If you mean a BUTTON element of the type=submit, then not exactly. It *will* send a preset value for sure, but that preset value will differ depending on the browser. I've found that while FF will send the value you set in the value=... attribute, IE will send the actual text of the button.

[PHP] How to count transfered kBytes in File-Download
Hello *,
currently I have a function:
[ '/usr/share/tdphp-vserver/includes/02_functions.inc' ]
snip
function fncPushBinary($type='show', $file, $mime='') {
if ( is_file($file) ) {
if ($mime == '') {
$mime=exec(file -i -b $file);
}
$STRG=; filename=\ . basename($file) . \;
$FSIZE=filesize($file);
if ($type == 'show') {
header(Content-Disposition: inline . $STRG );
} else {
header(Content-Disposition: attachment . $STRG);
}
header(Content-Type: . $mime);
$HANDLER=fopen($file, r);
echo fread($HANDLER, $FSIZE);
fclose($HANDLER);
exit();
} else {
$ERRNO=2;
$ERRTX=sprintf( T_gettext(The requested binary file does not
exist.p%s), $file );
fncError($ERRNO, $ERRTX, $ERRPAGE);
}
}
snip
which I want to modify it to count the kBytes a user download and block
after a definde amount...
(there are too many peoples in the world which want to suck anything for
free and unlimited and no one cares who pay the stuff... even if I have
100 TByte free traffic on one of my bigger servers)
My problem is now
1) how to count partial downloads
2) how to allow users to make partial downloads
any suggestions?
Oh, I should note, that the URL's looks like:
/?what=musicwhere=hsection=fooname=I_love_php5.ogg
and the input to the function is already sanitized.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening

Re: [PHP] Re: Webhotel structure
I don't think you need SSH and fixed IP address. I think you only need to change some file permissions. Most of the shared hosts will provide a control panel for your web account. You change the file permissions. I have some PHP websites without a fixed IP address and SSH.

I must admit I am a bit lazy when it comes to write perfect english in mails. I believe we can do better with our time. In this particulary case the result was below acceptable levels. English is not my native language either, by the way. No I would not laugh if you where writing in Bokmal or Nynorsk. Because I would not know the first think about spelling in the Norwedian languages. I am Danish, we speak and write in Danish. I apologize! I know little of Scandinavian culture (the letters in your last name were a hint to Scandinavian) and your email address just looked Norwegian to me. Yes it is a linux server, and I know the basic linux commands, but I do not know if and how I can get SSH access to my web host. If you can't, then switch hosts. SSH access is a necessity. It may not be supported or be too basic to be include in the help search at surftown, I simply do not know. My web do not have a fixed IP, so I guess it may not No fixed IP for your web host?!? Change! It seems like surftown is an okay host, compared to my less than 2$ a month, but their help is a major candidate for winning the price of the most useless help ever. A google search found a blog where the guy say they do not support ssh on pivate hosting, so I guess not. /Peter -- Dotan Cohen Hi again Sorry for cutting your name card short Dotan, but I get tired reading the entire alfabet every time. Yes ssh and fixed IP is properly a must for you guys who having php programming as a hobby, but I only want a webside up and running. The only other thing I would like would be a 100Gbyte remote backup. Here I only got 10Gbyte. The price of getting these this is rather high compared to my 2$ a month, another detail is, that I payed 5 years in advance to get this price, so that would all be lost. In total I payed 100$ for 5 years including webhosting and the domain name registration onbe year ago. Now I finally get some value for the money. Today the price for the same has doubled. I do not mind spending another 100$ if you can do better, but I will not spend 5 or 10$ a month for this. As php programming is not a hobby I properly will be away from this list for a long time, have fun everyone, before you know you have become too old for that. My retirement will also restore the average age of this list back to normal.

(Although it will no longer be a submit button, so you'll have to capture the click and perform the submit using Javascript which leads back to accessibility issues, etc.) If you mean a BUTTON element of the type=submit, then not exactly. It *will* send a preset value for sure, but that preset value will differ depending on the browser. I've found that while FF will send the value you set in the value=... attribute, IE will send the actual text of the button.

Greetings, I need to create a secure customer section on my site. User name and login would take you to a secured page that displays information like a calendar, downloads, budgets. These sections would be the same but each customer would display custom content (over 100 customers). I browsed php mysql books, but need a jump start. Any ideas? Is php not the best solution?

Outside your function, or in, I don't care, define a variable/constant that will be used as a buffer
size.
$buffer = 1024;
if ( is_file($file) ) {
if ($mime == '') {
$mime=exec(file -i -b $file);
}
$STRG=; filename=\ . basename($file) . \;
Don't do the following...
$FSIZE=filesize($file);
if ($type == 'show') {
header(Content-Disposition: inline . $STRG );
} else {
header(Content-Disposition: attachment . $STRG);
}
header(Content-Type: . $mime);
$HANDLER=fopen($file, r);
Then here, do this...
$current_size = 0;
while ( !feof($HANDLER) ) {
$current_size += $buffer;
echo fread($HANDLE, $buffer);
}
Now, do what you want with $current_size
Maybe have a variable that you check it against that contains the users allow
amount of transfer...
$current_size = 0;
while ( !feof($HANDLER) $current_size $allowed_limit ) {
$current_size += $buffer;
echo fread($HANDLE, $buffer);
}
Hope this gets you leading down the right path...
echo fread($HANDLER, $FSIZE);
fclose($HANDLER);
exit();
} else {
$ERRNO=2;
$ERRTX=sprintf( T_gettext(The requested binary file does not

I'm sorry for there are no rules in the world no real men to help them. May *Allah* help them as we see what happened in *Iraq* who started war with Iran and just he can!
