it dawned on my that some of the informix environment variables may not have

the problem;

export INFORMIXDIR=/opt/informix

ok - let me take that a step further - if I store the SID in the table also
are the files in the /tmp directory stored with the SID?  if they are this
may be a way I can delete out inactive session, but be able to allow
extended inactive sessions for users who may be pulling lengthy reports...

 Arr the garbage collection is based on a probability
 (session.gc_probability) and therefore it will clean
 up if you get enough hits to the server. Check the documentation for
 config of sessions.

 I use db for sessions with a check to ensure db is available. (you can
 then cleanup whatever you want)

[PHP] anyway to do a 'whos online' from session variable?

2003-01-07 Thread Jeff Bluemel
when a user logs into my system I set a variable $_SESSION['username'].
now, every page somebody pulls up it revalidates their login so somebody
cannot get into the backend of the system.

now - is there a way I can make a utility that will show me the session
username's that are in use?  it would be useful to be able to know who's
currently online.  this is a website that will not be published, and is used
for a VERY limited number of people.

 Simple create a database table for logins and have a status that you
 set to online / offline and last seen could also be added.

 Then it is just a simple SELECT statement.

 If you don't want to use a database you could flock (not perfect) a file
 then read in a serialised array and update then write out and unlock.

[PHP] query join 2 databases? or match up arrays?

2003-01-03 Thread Jeff Bluemel
ok - here's my problem.  I have some data in mysql, and other data in
informix.

here is my application.  this is for distributors of prepaid phone cards.
prepaid phone cards have 3 numbers they can be identified by pin number
(which is unique), or by batch  serial number.  the batch number is
basically the type of card, and the serial number  batch number for another
unique identifier when used together.

now - a batch can be given to several different distributors.  therefore,
when then are pulling various types of information on the batch they should
only be able to see it for their cards, and not all of the cards in the
batch.

piece of cake right?  well - the permissions information is kept in mysql,
and the batch information its self is kept in an informix database.  there
is no way around this for me.

the only way I can think of to work around this problem is to query 1 card
at a time, and sum the info etc. together.  however, there could be 400,000+
records, and this would be a slow tedious process.  plus for each card I'd
have to query the mysql database for permissions, and then in turn query the
informix database in turn.  this could take a long time to display the
webpage.

clear as mud???  recommendations?

well - the informix database will be running on another server (a telecom
billing system).  this is a web based front end, and I really want to leave
the other system alone 100%.  if I were to modify anything I would make the
mysql permissions table inside of informix, but there are liability reason
which would keep me from doing so.

still - you bring up an interesting point.  a php script file that ran on
crontab may not be a bad answer.  however, again I would run into a problem
of volume.  there are an average of 3-4 million card in the informix server
so I couldn't do this in a export  import.  too may records, and info has
to be accurate within 15 minutes.  shear volume I believe is going to kill
that idea.  I would be back to 1 record at a time running every 15 minutes.
I would think too much load, and more practical to do it 1 record at a time
upon request which won't be too frequent.

hoping there's another solution I'm not aware of, or over looked.

2003-01-03 Thread Jeff Bluemel
actually - I believe that may be a workable solution.  you were mentioning
checking the timestamp on a mysql table.  how would I check the timestamp on
a mysql table?

even with this I'm betting it would be more time consuming to create the
table then it would to pull the info from informix, and process validation 1
record at a time from mysql.  that would be a simple query instead of an
insert.  this would also all take place on the server it's self instead of
pulling it from another server.  I could load it up with ram  let it run.

at any rate that gives me a lot of option to think about, and I'll probably
has to work with some samples of the stuff from here to see what way is
going to be the fastest.  it would probably depend if the user was pulling
this info in a session.  if it was once, or several times.  all something to
think about.

the other option I'm thinking about is just not giving the distributors
access to this information, but restricting it to users with permissions to
the entire batch only.

 Hmm... what about querying the informix database for the set of rows you
 want all at once, putting that into a temporary mysql table with a
 timestamp and then doing the rest of your work from there.

 Then the next time it happens check the timestamp on that mysql table and
 if it's out of date, delete it and go and fetch updated rows from
 informix, otherwise just use what's in that mysql table.

 This would act as a sort of replicated table, but only taking into account
 the records that are actually being hit...

 maybe?

Subject: [PHP] way to insert timer / pause?


if there a command, or a way I can put say a 5 second, or a 10 second
pause which will make it so it will output x amount of html, and then
continue? or if I can pause it will it not display any of the html until
the entire script has ran?

 I'm not sure I totally understand... but...

 to pause...  sleep(10);  i.e. 10 second pause Everything stops...  not
just output

 you can buffer everything and only output it when you want

 look at ob_start

 But a warning...  your server or the clients might change the expexted
behaviour.

Andrew,

my application is of customer service tries to recharge the balance on a
pin, and it is over their charge limit (the customer service personnel) then
I was thinking I would display a header for a few seconds telling them the
recharge failed, and why.  however, I think I will just out it in
highlighted text instead (and flashing if I can figure that out).

 I beleive you can use output buffering to stop anything from being
displayed
 until the very last moment. Or you can code your page with tables. I know
IE
 wont' render a table until the last /table (I beleive), so this could
stop
 your html from showing.

 Or if there is going to be a long pause, you could make a intermediate
page
 that displays this will take minute. This page would have a meta refresh
 that keeps refreshing itself checking the status of your job. Once the job
 is complete on the next refresh it will notice the job is done and voila
 display the results.

 Thank god the blink tag in HTML was removed.
 Don't know how long you've been working on sites,
 but I started at the same time the first NSCA Mosaic browser came out.
About 10 years now.

 They had blink/blink back then, and everyone starting using it just
about everywhere!
 Imagine trying to read complete pages that were blinking.

 The first HTML chats would allow tags inserted...
 so someone would open a blink tag and not close it to  make the whole
page blink.

 Anyways... the way I would do it today is to make an animated gif with the
text blinking and just load that.

[PHP] Re: Problems connecting to a MySQL database

2002-12-12 Thread Jeff Bluemel
have you tried connected to the mysql database from a prompt before using
php???


Eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 Greetings!

 I have a script which attempts to connect to the database in three
different
 segments of code.

 I'm using this code to connect to the database:

 $db = mysql_connect(the_host, the_user,
$cfg['Servers'][0]['password']);
 .
 .
 .
 .
 mysql_close($db);

 The first time I connect ok, retrieve all of the rows from a table, and
 display portions of a column.

 A user then clicks on a button to retrieve more detailed information from
 the same table in the database:

 $db = mysql_connect(the_host, the_user,
$cfg['Servers'][0]['password']);

 This bombs with:

 Warning: Undefined offset: 0 in (directory
stuff)/www/cgi-php4/my_script.php
 on line 228

 Warning: Access denied for user: 'the_user' (Using password: NO) in
 (directory stuff)/www/cgi-php4/my_script.php on line 228

 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'the_user'
(Using
 password: NO) in (directory stuff)/www/cgi-php4/my_script.php on line 228

 Error: Could not connect to the database.


 Now, if I change the index to match the exact number of rows in the table,
 it's successfully accessed:

 $db = mysql_connect(the_host, the_user,
$cfg['Servers'][4]['password']);

 it works fine.  But I don't think this is right.

 Any ideas as to why this is happening?

 Thanks much!

 Eric

 know if what you're doing is over my head, or just not explained clearly.

 I can man an uncomfortable assumption, though:  You mean to generate
 JavaScript and JSP has nothing to do with this problem.  Try quoting your
 JavaScript variable values ...

 Change:
 var action = ? echo $_GET['action']; ?;

 To:
 var action = ? echo $_GET['action']; ?;

 ... likewise with the rest of your JavaScript variables.

 To change the number of decimal places look into the number_format()

 To change the date/time structure the date() function will do what you

 Hello to all,

 I don't know about some of you, but I think PHP and the rest of the whole
 open-source movement is the coolest thing in the world. I also personally
 think it takes a lot of effort and courage to make a transition from
 proprietory Windows Apps (Windows OS, SQL Server, IIS, VB, etc.), which
 Microsoft pays an exaustive amount of money to keep people addicted to it,
 to something like Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP, or better known as LAMP, which
is
 almost a whole different world. For this reason, we need to be more
lenient
 toward newbies. I'm not trying to bring about a debate on Open Source vs
 Microsoft, so let's not turn this into a bloody mess. I'm making use of
the
 best of both worlds when I can. It's like the saying, I like the product,
 but I don't like the government behind the product.

 The reason for this mail is because I've seen a lot of
not-so-good-treatment
 towards newbies recently, and this bad trend will grow and we will
 eventually scare them away from even giving PHP a chance. There are nicer
 ways to say, You big dummy, look in the archives and stop filling up my
 mailbox with useless questions that have already been answered here
before
 (an exaggeration). If a newbie overlooked the documentation, put on a good
 helpful face and point them to the URL that can help them. If it's not in
 the documentation and it seems like a simple answer, don't belittle them
 with snobbish remarks. Don't be mean. Mean people suck. One day these
 newbies will be in your position and they might help you out with a
 difficult problem.

 Anyway, my two cents worth. And again, please don't turn this into a
 debate...

 No...

 Javascript need to send that data back to the server and how are you
 going to do that?

 You will have to use a form or a link or some method to send it to the
 server.

 Now you can use php to write your javascript code that can be used to
 link to a php file that can be run on the client side which will then
 access the server...

 but you are really talking about to things here server-side (php) and
 client-side (javascript)...

 So IMHO,

 /should/ be slightly quicker than

 The general consensus on the list seems to be go with whichever one you

 Hi Jeff:

 Brent Ashley has written some cool stuff to make asynchronous remote
 calls to server without client page refresh using javascript/iframe
 etc. There is a PHP version.
 Go to:
 http://www.ashleyit.com/rs/main.htm
 And click on the link:
 Javascript Remote Scripting (JSRS).

 It works for most browsers.

Re: [PHP] is this not possible?

2002-11-18 Thread Jeff Bluemel
here's the URL if case somebody decides to look at it;

http://obi-wan.domintcom.com
user: guest
pass: domintcom

go to customer service, prepaid pin, and then look up 3077876962  -
activate, deactivate, and recharge

this is for customer service of prepaid phone cards.

now - when I reload this page to refresh the information sometimes it can
really take awhile.

I need to somehow get the information from the user on how much to recharge
the pin for.  now, before I refresh the page I need to get how much the user
wants to recharge, process the recharge, and then refresh the page that all
of this started on.

I thought it would be the simplest if I could somehow use javascript to
prompt the user for a value, confirm if the user wants to recharge x
pin for $xx.xx, recharge the pin, and then refresh the calling page so it
now reflects the new balance.

I don't want to refresh original page until this is all done because it can
take sometime for this page load at times.

is everybody lost now?

 Generally spoken, yes - the browser needs to pass the data back to the
 server somehow.

 What are you really up to? Do you want to transmit data to the server
 without the user clicking on a link or a button?

 You can always use JavaScript to submit a form (even a hidden-only form),
 or to reload the document with the same or a different URL.

 URL-Reload:

 document.location.href = url;

 Form submit:

 document.forms[formname].submit();

Re: [PHP] speed comparison

2002-11-18 Thread Jeff Bluemel
I have not problem displaying variable - I do it all over my webpage, or how
to handle them.  you may want to check out my post above that has a weblink
to the project, and a better explanation of exactly what I am doing.

Ernest E Vogelsinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 As Maxim pointed out a couple of days ago, this is just a matter of
 nanosecs, it shouldn't be really noticeable from performance.

 The fastest was to display non-PHP output is to escape from PHP and enter
 plain HTML, like
 $a = 'World';
 ?
 H1Hello ?=$a?!/h1
 ?php

 This is quite ugly to read and write, and it prohibits to separate content
 from output. So the next fast way to output would be
 echo 'H1Hello World!/h1';
 Note the single quotes - they are (_very_slightly_) faster than double
quotes.

 If you need to display variables you must revert to
 echo H1Hello $a!/H1;
 to parse the string (note the double quotes here).

 I would always prefer to have to buy a faster server and use the second or
 third method than having to escape from PHP for any output, for what it's
 worth.

Re: [PHP] can I retrieve jsp varibable with get or post???

2002-11-17 Thread Jeff Bluemel
ok - the more I look at this the more I'm a bit lost.  passing the variables
from php to java makes sense.  however, from your scripts you listed it is
only possible to pass jsp variables to php by opening a new page, or by
activating a form.

is there a way to pass jsp variables to php while a script is running?  i.e.
use a jsp prompt to get a value as the php script goes on, and then take an
action on that variable?  for instance I have a situation where I need to
apply a credit.  granted, I could use a form to accomplish this, but I feel
it would be much cleaner to use jsp to get the value.

I also have situation where before proceeding I want to get an ok / cancel.

[PHP] howto pass javascript variable to php

2002-11-17 Thread Jeff Bluemel
it's easy enough to pass php variable to javascript, but doing this the
other way around without a form submit, or location (passing as a php $_GET
variable) seems to be a little nightmare.  it's easy enough to do it with
the form submit, or a location command.

 I am very unfamiliar with printing from PHP, but could you just guess how
 many lines per page you want to print and after that many lines issue a
page
 break then print your header for the next page? Once you have it working
you
 can tweak the line per page to where they fill a whole sheet of paper.
It's
 a quick and dirty way of printing reports that I use in our DOS based
 accounting system.

costs for pdflib were just too high, and I wouldn't find an open source/free

if not then I guess I'll turn to java script which would be acceptable too.

ok - I'm looking at the code you posted, and I'm following some of it, but
not all of it.  let me tell you what I am trying to accomplish.

I like the code you posted below, but I don't believe I am understanding it
well enough to implement it.

I have this 'clickable image'.  when I click the image I want to reload the
same page, but set a variable which will add more items to the menu in the
form of an if statement.   I tried to solve it with the following code
instead of a form (I like they way you are using the link's there - is there
a good howto on web variables, and more details on that type of code? - I've
looked through what I can find, but doesn't make much sense still)

  TDa href=main.phtml target=_top onclick=? $_SESSION['link'] =
'CS'; ?IMG SRC=images/cs-bttn.jpg border=0/a/TD

this code sets the variable evertime the page is loaded instead of just
'onclick'

 Alignment of elements in a table or form is really a HTML/CSS question.
 Just to make matters worse, I have problems with aligning in IE, but not

 Instead of a form, you could just have a clickable image, with any vars
you
 need in GET, not POST:

 A HREF=?=$PHP_SELF???if($QUERY_STRING){ echo $QUERY_STRING
 .}?myvar=myvalueIMG SRC=images/cs-bttn.jpg border=0/a

 or perhaps what you want in your case is:

 A HREF=?=$PHP_SELF???if($QUERY_STRING){ echo $QUERY_STRING .}?CS=

 Depends what you want to achieve on the next page.

Re: [PHP] is there an alternative to this code?

ok - I played with this, and found this to work (but I have no idea why).
is there a good webpage that give good information on the variable, and
html?  I have the code working, but I really have no idea how this stuff
works together like it does.  I would be very interested in some place I can
get a detailed explaination html variable, and how to php integrates with
it.

 Instead of a form, you could just have a clickable image, with any vars
you
 need in GET, not POST:

 A HREF=?=$PHP_SELF???if($QUERY_STRING){ echo $QUERY_STRING

 You changed the name of the class but did not change the name of the

 So change

[PHP] what is the best way to handle connectivity

2002-10-05 Thread Jeff Bluemel

I've got informix on a sco open server box, and my webserver has php 4.2.3
with apache.  I'm wondering what the best way to handle the connectivity
into the sco box is (not concerned with how difficult this is to setup, but
rather pure speed)

do I try to use a native driver?  if I use the native driver does informix
have to be installed on the same box?  do I just try to use odbc?

 This won't work because a SELECT COUNT(*) query always returns a row,

  Subject: [PHP] counting number of records in a MySQL table; how do I

   Hi,
  
   I need to do either an insert or update into a MySQL table.  Insert
 if
  there
   are 0 records or update if one record exist:
  
   This is my code snippet:
  
   if (mysql_query(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM AuthNum) == 0) {
  mysql_query(INSERT into AuthNum (FirstNum, LastNum, NextNum)
 VALUES
   (1,2,3),$dblink);
   } else {
  mysql_query(Update AuthNum Set FirstNum = 1, LastNum = 2,
 NextNum =
   3,$dbLink);
   }
  
   My problem is, a record never gets inserted because the SELECT COUNT
  query
   is returning a resource ID of 2.  How can I get the actual number of
  records
   in the table?
  
   Thanks,
   Don

LOL - I've been using VB for about 6 years, and I'm just beginning to
convert over to php.

the application I am writing is for prepaid phone cards.  if they are going
to activate a pin, inactivate, or recharge then I want a confirmation box.

I would prefer to also have a box pop up to get the value they want to
recharge instead of having an input text box on the form.  for some reason
people seem to over look the text box, and they tend to leave it empty vs.
displaying a dialog box that asks for the amount they would like to
recharge.

I need to go back to my customers, and find out how important a confirmation
box is.  I had skimmed through the php functions, but didn't see anything
that looked what I was looking for.

 To the point, check some javascript references out, I know there are code

something
 to start off of.

Re: Re[2]: [PHP] inputbox?

2002-10-01 Thread Jeff Bluemel

OK Tom - that script worked beautiful.

there are a few different applications that I need this for, and I'm
wondering if you can either help me with the coding, or refer me to a
webpage that can get me started in the right direction.

I need to collect a value that will be used in a query.  (assuming this is
pretty easy - just use the value listed in post for this form)
 I also need an OK / Cancel option that I can use a die with if the cancel,
or proceed if they select OK.

when I use this java script does this reload the page, and go back to the
top, or does it simply set the $_POST value?

 Confirmation is easy -- the client has the right to ask for this

 It's the method in which you want to confirm (javascript, pop-ups, etc)
that
 is the problem.

 It can be as simple as:

 submit form
 page asking are you sure you want to blah blah blah
 submit yes or no
 action taken

 No javascript needed -- all php  html.


 You might want to also take a look at phpMyAdmin, which has javascript

 phpMyAdmin(.org) is a GUI web interface for managing MySQL databases.
it's
 open source, so if you like what you see, you can dig around in the code
and
 borrow... they pop-up confirmations on delete and empty type queries.

 as for a simple confirmation script... I don't really have the time right
 now but think of it this way...

 - fill in form, POST to a confirmation form
 - confirmation form echos what's about to happen back out onto the screen
 - confirmation form has many hidden inputs which carry the values
 - click yes, form submitted to a process page, containing the values
 submitted

 In other words, you have to pass the original form contents THROUGH an
 intermediate page which says are you sure?.

[PHP] syntax question

2002-09-29 Thread Jeff Bluemel

couple of questions...  I'm am learning php  mysql without any books (will
also be using postgres, and informix, but assuming most of these are about
the same other then sql syntax), and through internet resources.  there are
a lot of good step throughs on a lot of stuff, but there are some things I'm
having a hard time finding how to's on...

for instance - if there a command that will give me the name of the fields
in the result set?  how to I test for a null value?  how do I go from one
row to the next, or how do I filter a result set based on a value in a
column?  is there a way to sum a specific field?

would appreciate whatever help I can get, and even better if somebody know's
a step through that goes through all the basic's of database syntaxes in
php.

Re: [PHP] syntax question

2002-09-29 Thread Jeff Bluemel

 mysql_field_name() might help... but generally I know what fields I want
to
 grab, so I don't need this...  I found this answer on
http://php.net/mysql.
 just as you could :)

I've been coding in other languages for about 6 years now, and I have looked
through a lot of the mysql stuff, and the explanations just don't make sense
for me (or the examples, I can make them work, but don't understand why they
work).  it seems there are just basic's of the language they expect that you
understand.  piece by piece I'm getting it, but I'm not happy just copying
code, and seeing something work.  I've got to know why something worked, and
feel like I understand more of the in's and out's.  I think the howto's skip
over a lot of things that have me confused.

it seems like a lot of this stuff deals more with array's, and that's
something I never learned to handle in other languages.  this may be part of
my problem...

as far as using the select queries, that's an option most times, but there
are some situations where there are too many calls to the database, and the
code isn't efficient.

here's a sample of things I made work, but don't understand...

TABLE border=3 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=2 bordercolor=#045C00
width=100%
  TR align=center
   TD align=leftDate/TD
   TDANI/TD
   TDDNIS/TD
   TDCountry/TD
   TDDestination/TD
   TDPay Phone/TD
   TDCost/TD
   TD align=rightMinutes/TD
  /TR

no - obviously here I understand what fields I'm getting out of the
database, but I'd prefer to use a syntax that would print the field names in
the top column of the table, and make my code more transportable.  with the
stuff I'm doing this would be a great help.

  ?
  mysql_data_seek ($sql, 0);
  while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc ($sql))

now - from what I understand from the php.net doc's page this is putting
things in the array.  does that mean that in order to parse a result set I
have to turn it into an array, or can I directly access the recordset?  (all
examples point to creating an array out of it, not sure if this is
necessity, or just a better way to parse a result set)

now - my misunderstanding of this while statement throws me for a loop...  I
don't see anything in this code that moves a pointer to the next row, and
yet it seems to?

  {
  echo TR\n;
  foreach ($row as $column)
  {
  echo TD$column/TD\n;
  }
   echo /TR\n;
  }
  echo /TABLE;

Re: [PHP] syntax question

2002-09-29 Thread Jeff Bluemel

let me be more specific...

if a field value is null how do I test for it in the result set, or the
array?

here's a real live example...  I'm working with prepaid phone cards, and if
a card has not expired yet then the field zombie_date will be null.

so - when I do the mysql_fetch_assoc ($sql) what value will the field
contain if the resulting recordset was a null?  instead of leaving that
table space blank I would like to populate it with Not Expired or
something like that.  (I have a lot of scenario's where I would like to use
that).

 empty()?  isset()?  if($var == )?  if($var == NULL)??  have a look in
 the php manual for string functions, and comparison operators
 

 I think he maybe meant testing for null values in SQL.

 If this is true, there is the null keyword: is null and is not null.

 select * from table_name where column_name is not null

 This selects all rows from a table where the data in column column_name
 is not null. Be careful with this, as it actually tests for null and not
 an empty string, for example. If you want to test whether a value is
 null once you have assigned it to a PHP variable, you can use one of
 Justin's suggestions.

 In addition, PHP has null as well.

 Happy hacking.

 Jeff,

 One quick thought ...

 Is your cookie domain the same domain as the URL domain you are using to
 test this? If not, the browser will not send the cookie, so that is a
 potential reason for this behavior.

 If the domain is the same, I see no reason why this shouldn't work, but
 I have two ideas you can try.

 1. Rather than using the name of the cookie, try this on the receiving
page:

 pre
 ?
 print_r($_COOKIE);
 ?
 /pre

 This should dump the entire array to the screen and would reveal any
 naming problems.

 2. View the HTTP transactions themselves to make sure the proper
 Set-Cookie and Cookie headers are being used. There are several
 utilities that can help do this, and I recently wrote one in PHP (it's a
 quick hack though) you can get at http://protoscope.org/. The messages
 of interest are the original HTTP response from your Web server (which
 should contain the Set-Cookie header) and any future HTTP request (which
 should contain the Cookie header). This is the most reliable way to
 really analyze these types of problems.

 Hopefully these ideas will help uncover something.

Re: [PHP] Re: session cookies

2002-09-23 Thread Jeff Bluemel

ok - no cookie exists...  I have Netscape set to accept all cookies.  I'm
wondering if it is in my link, or if it is a configuration error somewhere.
here is a copy of the session options from my php.ini (as copied from Zend
Server Center)

 Jeff,

 My apologies then. Somehow your response never arrived. It is still best
 to always reply all for things like this. You get the benefit of
 hearing several people's perspectives, and you also potentially help
 others who have the same question now or who may have it in the future
 (and check the list archives).

 Anyway, back to your problem ...

 Cookies are stored on the client, so they are also sent to the browser.

 Basically, the unique identifier (e.g., PHPSESSID) must be provided by
 the Web client in order for it to be associated with previous requests.
 The two most common methods of this are for it to send this information
 in a cookie (there is a Cookie header in the HTTP request) or as part of
 the query string in a URL (such as
 http://www.example.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=123456789) that it is
requesting.

 With use_trans_sid set, PHP is going to append the session ID to the URL
 of links, etc., on:
 
 
 I tried setting the user_trans_sid = 0, but it still will not use a
cookie.

 Right. I was explaining (poorly looking back) what the use_trans_sid
 does. Basically, the idea is that the developer doesn't have to worry
 about how the unique identifier is passed back. This is the easiest
 way to use session management, because it is transparent for the most
 part. PHP will try both cookie and URL methods to maintain the unique
 identifier, and it will use only a cookie once it can determine that the
 client supports them.

 You are having a problem, it sounds like, with the Web client *not*
 sending back the cookie in subsequent requests. Thus, use_trans_sid will
 append the unique identifier to the URL every time, as it believes the
 client to not be supporting cookies (which might just be your problem).
 When you combine this with use_only_cookies (sp?), you are basically
 telling PHP to ignore the unique identifier if it is sent on the URL.
 Thus, it is not receiving the cookie, and it is being instructed to not
 use the URL variable. It has no way to identify the client and maintain
 state.

 Your problem boils down to one thing: the cookie is not getting passed
 back. Focus on this initially. Make sure your Web browser is accepting
 the cookie (you can configure most browsers to warn you before accepting
 a cookie, so that you can be certain it is being set), and try to make
 sure your PHP script is receiving the cookie like it thinks it should
 be. For example, if the cookie is named PHPSESSID, try this:

 ?
 echo cookie is [ . $_COOKIE[PHPSESSID] . ]br;
 ?

 If ths cookie is blank (e.g., cookie is []), you have identified your
 problem. Hopefully this will help you solve it.

 Happy hacking.

 Chris

 You've already posted this, and you never answered the questions that

 time.

 Perhaps if you put forth a little effort, we might also.

 Just a helpful suggestion,

  Subject: [PHP] Sessions
 
  Hi all,
 
  I'm having a problem with sessions. I use PHP version 4.2.2.
  The project I'm working on, only uses the global variables, $_GET,
 $_POST
  and $_SESSION.
 
  When I store something in the $_SESSION variable, everything goes
 well. I
  can print the contents of this array with print_r, and every variable
 I
  stored is there. But when I leave the page with the header(...)
 directive
  (or any other way), the session is empty!
 
  The session file contains no data (so it is created!), the $_SESSION
  variable is empty...
 
  Some extra information:
  - I've tried this on PHP 4.1.2, and that works OK
  - I've tried output_buffering (on and off)
  - I've tried registered_globals (on and off)
  - I've tried using session_write_close() before leaving the page
  - I've checked the session_start() statement (Yes, it's there :-) )
 
  I hope someone can help me with this...
 
  Thanks in advance,
 
  Erwin

Re: [PHP] Is php even right for this design?

2002-09-20 Thread Jeff Bluemel

I don't know if this is possible, but in VB (I'd like to find something
similar in php) I would open a record set, and then filter / unfilter it for
similar issues (in a loop).  I'm assuming you could use a similar approach
somehow in php.

 Jeff Bluemel wrote:

 Can you elaborate on this? I have no idea what you mean.

for some reason when I was reading the documentation on sessions on php.net
I thought it stated that it was possible to have a cookie point at a
transaprent ID.  I guess one of my biggest concerns is security.  I don't
want somebody to be able to open a session with an ID, and I want them to
login everytime.  this all happens behind ssl too.

I check my browser cookies, and I never see a cookieis, and my pages always
pass a session ID number with them.  what is the best, secure way, to have
sessions ID's that the browser never see's?

 I've got the following options in my php.ini, but the system doesn't seem
to
 ever use a cookie, and the sessions don't die.  (that's my biggest
concern
 is that the user has to login to the system EVERY time he visits the
site.)
 
 session.use_cookies = 1
 session.use_only_cookies = 1
 session.use_trans_sid = 1
 

 With use_trans_sid set, PHP is going to append the session ID to the URL
 of links, etc., on:

 1) The client's first visit, determined by the fact that the client sent
 no session ID
 2) Any other visit where the client sent a session ID on the URL but not
 in a cookie

I set session.use_trans_sid = 0, but I still see the SID in the URL passing
from session to session.

 It sounds to me like either you're only noticing the first case there,
 or your browser is not supplying the cookie on subsequent requests.
 Maybe this bit of information will help you.

 Happy hacking.

 Chris
