[PHP] Retaining data across multiple sites

2002-02-20 Thread Ben Sinclair

I want to retain some data across my sites, which have different domain names.
I can't use cookies because they rely on the domain name, and I'd rather not
pass the information on every link Any suggestions?

I could do that, but how would I keep track of the users? I don't think IP
addresses are reliable. I would also prefer to limit my database access.

 Need to store it server side somehow.  Perhaps a global database?

These are all workable solutions, but I also have to worry about https sites.
If I link to hidden images on non-secure servers, the browser will display a
warning. I'm also trying to avoid buying multiple certificates when all I want
to do is brand a site.

 One way I handle this ... it's a work-around, so it's not all that pretty:

 In the doc root on all the domains, I keep a script which just prints out
 the cookie names  values for any cookies accessible by the domain ... as

[PHP] Large File Uploads

2002-02-04 Thread Ben Sinclair

I'm having some trouble with a file upload script that runs over SSL. It seems
that the file is kept in memory while being uploaded and then flushed to disk
as a temp file. This is fine, but when you are dealing with large files, you
can run out of memory. Apache (or PHP?) also doesn't seem to recover from large
file uploads very well. After uploading a few large files (30MB to 300MB), the
httpsd process continues to use ~400MB.

If I let it go long enough, with the machine swapping, the script will
eventually come back but it acts like there was no file uploaded.

Does anyone have suggestions? I need for my users to have the ability to upload
large files over a SSL connection using common browsers. I can't make them run
applets or use an insecure method for doing these transfers.

 Hiya Everyone!

 I'm a little baffled on what is happening.  I'm using Apache on the UNIX
 machine.  When I built the website, everyone work okay.  Then I accidently
 remove part of the web directory because I was in the wrong directory at
 that time.  So, I had to restore the lost directory from the tape backup.
 All of the deleted file had been restored.  Then that's when this problem
 came up.  I kept getting the error message on some files with a Warning:
 Failed opening '...' for inclusion () in Unknown on line 0.  I did some
 troubleshooting but with no luck.

 Can someone tell me what the problem is?  Have I overlooked something?

 Thanks,
  Scott

Re: [PHP] getting a LAMP job in this economy

You could switch to Java. At least with Java you will learn something that
doesn't depend on Windows, but is still needed by Windows users. Not that there
is a huge market for Java developers right now either...

 On another list that I am on someone made this very bold

 going to land you a job  [;)] 

 now, as someone that was making avery good living doing Linux based
 web application development last year and now among the jobless I am
beginning
 to question the validity of having all of my eggs in the LAMP  (linux apache

 basket.  I just recently built a NT4 to do some win based development on. I
still have
 not installed any development enviroment cause it just feels so alien. Has
anyone else
 out there feeling the pressure of going to the win32 side  to pay the bills.
 Thoughts?

 Hi!
 
 That one doesn't work!  The new line does work, but the data doesn't
 work like a margin alignment or something.  Like a type writer format where
 everything fit in nicely, not one line that are too short and the next line
 that are too long.  Just that at the end of each line that is perfectly
 lined up with each other.

Re: [PHP] What do you mean?

Yes, there is a function that cleans up carriage returns and line feeds by
changing them to BR's. There is no function to magically justifty text. Find
some HTML documentation and output the HTML to justify your text.

 What do you mean?  There is a php function that can clean up the carriage
 return and line feed.  There's a php function somewhere that will fix up the
 amount of spaces for each lines to make the end of each line to be all
 aligned.  So, what would it be?

You can do something like this:

Both arguments are optional and have default values. This is in the

I changed my sendmail line to: sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -O

That should place it in the queue instead of trying to send it immediately,

 Fix your sendmail flags in your php.ini file to just queue up the mail.

Placing it in quotes made it show up correctly in phpinfo(), however it still

 I worked around this by padding the plaintext myself. Basically, add NUL
 (character 0) bytes so that your plaintext becomes an exact multiple of
 blocksize. Then change the very last byte to the number of padding bytes
 used. If the plaintext is already an exact multiple of blocksize, then
 pad with an entire block.

 On decryption, reverse the process, and you'll have your original string
 back exactly the way you started.

Re: [PHP] PHP Errors?

2002-01-15 Thread Ben Sinclair

It is possible to disable error reporting, but you would probably remember
doing it. Another possiblity is your page having tables that are not closed
because the script has stopped on an error, and your browser doesn't know how
to render the page. View the source to the page, the error might be in there.

[PHP] Padding with mcrypt_generic

2002-01-14 Thread Ben Sinclair

I'm trying to use mcrypt_generic and it works fine except it pads the data
with ^@'s when, according to the manual page, the length of the data is not
n * blocksize.

I've been trying to remove the padding from my decrypted data using
something like $string = str_replace(^@,,$string);, but it doesn't
seem to work right (^@ is a single character, not just ^ . @).

Has anyone had to do this before and found a solution?
