What I am asking here, is if any one in this community has the knowledge to act as a security consultant in an occasional, as required basis. Anyone interested should have expience with Apache, PHP, Perl on the FreeBSD platform. We are more than willing to compensate for services rendered, and are more than willing to discuss terms. In the end, we would be more than willing to share any non-fudiciary information with anyone who could find it useful (via this or other mailing lists). We are asking any interested parties to contact us off-list such that we don't need to make any private matters public. This is a bonified request, as we can setup servers ourselves, but simply do not have the time to research various run time, and security related items. TIA, -Grant Hey Guys, Let's be honest with ourselves here. If you've applied for this job, let me see your hands up!!!

Re: [PHP] A stupid question?

I want to know how php could know whether session_start() has been called, that is, whether session has been started. I Googled, but got little help. Thank you for help! Any tip is greatly appreciated. Regards, Shelley Hey Shelley, maybe I can help you understand Sessions. When you start a Sessions PHP creates a Session ID. This is then used to create/Store information in a file or in a database. The configuration of this is in your php.ini file. If this file you can change where the session is saved as well as other options. A simple way to use Sessions is with cookies with the session.use_cookie = 1 in the php.ini file. However, if the client doesn't allow cookies there is a second way; session.use_trans_sid = 0 there are a few problems however, it creates a security risk. Anyway, I hope this opens a little on how sessions works.

Do you think it is more usable if the search interface had a search button? or do you think it will be more convenient to not have button to let the users just push enter to search. I would appreciate any comment regarding this, thanks. The one thing I have found in building websites is that you should always create the site to the lowest IQ. Make it simple because there are users out there that might not know that you can hit enter (or return) to activate a search. That's my 2 pents worth. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Does anybody have another solution (with source code available) within the same price range? (US$100). thanks. One program that I have used in the past and has worked for me is Help Center Live.

[PHP] Editing Files with PHP
I am trying to create a small script to open a file and edit it. However, when I open a file with PHP in it the PHP is stripped out. It open as if I was viewing the page source. How do I fix this? Here is the code I am using. form action=filewrite.php method=post textarea rows=15 cols=70 name=content ?php include($file) ; ? /textarea input type=text name=filename / input type=submit / /form Filewrite looks like this ?php $File = $filename; $Handle = fopen($File, 'r+'); $Data = $content; fwrite($Handle, $Data); fclose($Handle); print Data Written.; ? Like I said, it is very simple but, I can write php if I start with a blank page but, I can open a file and view it. All of the files are at david.wonderly.com Thanks! -Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Are you sure you're asking the system to unsubscribe you not subscribe you? I'm really not sure how, or even if it's possible, to escalate this to the next level. I've subscribed and unsubscribed to PHP lists various times with several addresses and have never had any issues. I call PEBKAC. -Stut Yes, I tried every link on that confirmation message when nothing would work. And I am 110% positive I have used the confirmation-unsubscribe link. It sends me a message asking if I am sure that I want to UNsubscribe. Great, I am stuck receiving the email equivalent of spam(since I do not want to receive it) for the rest of this email address's life. wtf. -Patrick no, you have to make sure that you are sending and receiving all messages through this account. If you have more then one account configured in your email client, make sure when it sends out the message, that it is using the account that is registered with the php mailing list. I had the same problems years ago, until I realized that I was sending the requests from the wrong email account. Not that I was submitting the wrong email address, but when I sent the request, it would send me the confirmation email, when I replied to that message, I used the wrong account because the default account in my email client was a different account then what I was getting the mailing list from. Just a suggestion from someone that went through the exact same problem. I don't know... just an idea... if you don't want to see this list then create a rule in your email program that states that anything with [PHP] in the subject line goes to trash... That way you don't have to bother with getting upset. *sighs* What is this world coming to? -Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
