 I recently made a posting on the Apache users group regarding recovering
 the client IP address using the $_SESSION['REMOTE_ADDR'] function in PHP.

 I received the following caveat from another developer:

 -start quote
 You may want to update that.

 Since 2.4, apache makes the distinction between the the two different
 REMOTE_ADDR candidates: the peer making the TCP connection,
 and the client making the HTTP request.  In other words, the nearest
 proxy and the end-user.  The latter is of course very easy to spoof,
 but is nevertheless the one most applications want.
 --end quote

 Is there any development underway in PHP to have both of these addresses
 available in the $_SESSION global variable?


It's only semi-official, but the whole proxy chain is usually available in
X-Forwarded-For.



 Regards,

 John

[PHP] Can't connect to MySQL via PHP

2013-01-12 Thread Rick Dwyer
Hello all.

I used the code below successfully to connect to a MySQL db on one hosting 
provider.  I've moved the code to a new hosting provider with new values and it 
returns:

Access denied for user 'user'@'db.hostprovider.net' (using password: YES)

Even though I can copy and paste these three values (host, user and pass) and 
paste into Navicat to make a connection.  So the credentials are correct, but 
they are not authenticating when used in PHP.  I've tried making host 
localhost and 127.0.0.1… both with the same result.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

Appreciate it.

Thanks,
--Rick



$db_name = mydb;
$vc_host= db.hostprovider.net; 
$vc_user= user;
$vc_pass= pass;
 
$connection = @mysql_connect($vc_host, $vc_user, $vc_pass);
$db = mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection);

echo mysql_error();

are navcat and php on the same machine? mysql user accounts can and often do 
take into account which machine the connection is comming from?

Isn't that just telling you that the uid is not defined for the proper 
access to any mysql db?  It's been awhile since I set my accesses up so 
I can't remember.  I have one user that I use to do all my connections 
with.  That user is declared for each db with full access.

Ash,

  The question was asked about mysql functions. 

As much as the php list would like to force people from using mysql, I guess 
you should not have invented it, if you don't want people to still use it.

Sorry, just re-read the OP and realised he was using the mysql_*
functions.

I still stand by my statement of not using them though. People should be
advised that the functions are deprecated fully now and are not safe to
use.

Re: [PHP] Can't connect to MySQL via PHP

2013-01-12 Thread Jim Giner

Simple test I just did.

A simple script that first connects to mysql and then tries to select a db.

With a uid/pswd that I just made up for the script, I get the following:

Error - Could not connect to database from sql_db_connect
Access denied for user 'albany_ginerjm3'@'localhost' (using password: YES)


Going into my host's mysql manager, I created the uid/pswd to match what 
my script has in its code.  The next execution returns this:


Error - Could not select database in sql_db_connect
Access denied for user 'albany_ginerjm3'@'localhost' to database 
'albany_jgfiles'



Going back to my mysql manager, I added the new user to the db that I am 
trying to select.  No more error messages.


I would check that the user is defined to access the db that you are 
trying to use, if not all the dbs you have.

  Try this for me

  $db = mysql_connect($vc_host, $vc_user, $vc_pass);
  mysql_select_db($db_name, $db);
  
  if (!$db) {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }
  echo 'Connected successfully';
  mysql_close($db);
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Please at least use mysqli_* functions. Every time someone recommends
  we use mysql_* functions, a kitten kills a programmer.

  Ash,
  
The question was asked about mysql functions.
  
  As much as the php list would like to force people from using mysql, I
  guess you should not have invented it, if you don't want people to
  still use it.

  Actually, the question never mentioned mysql_* functions, so telling
 someone to use them is wrong.
 
  Thanks,

 Sorry, just re-read the OP and realised he was using the mysql_*
 functions.

 I still stand by my statement of not using them though. People should be
 advised that the functions are deprecated fully now and are not safe to
 use.

 Thanks,

It's not this php list. It's the php developers. mysql* functions are
set to be removed in a release coming soon.

Time marches on. mysql* functions were written first, then the mysqli*
functions were written. mysql* is old, out of date, and not begin
supported.

Should not have written it? Maybe? But maybe no libraries should have
been written, nothing should move forward, better ways should not have
been found.

Maybe you want to do your computing using pebbles, too.
