RE: [PHP] search.php
John, since you're looking to modify this script and not build your own or
search for another, here's some tips on how one might go about doing this.
1) set $which_one to the directory you want to search.
2) create a recursive funtion (many on php.net) to get all subdirectories
under it and build an array with their paths as the elements.
3) now, take that arrary and add a foreach before the line $directory =
opendir($which_one); replacing $which_one with your foreach array
element.
This is the *easy* way that I can think to do this - just do it for each
subdir in the array. It probably is far from the most elegant way, but
offers the least amount of real editing/manipulation.
I welcome any/all flaming for my suggestion :)

RE: [PHP] Form validation: client- or server-side?
Yes, it's considered best practice to do as much client-side validation as you can as to save your server time and load. This doesn't mean you still shouldn't do full validation on the server-side, but the fewer times the form is posted to your site the better. You might want to recheck what Javascript can do now - it's pretty extensive for a client-side scripting language. -M -Original Message- From: Matt Grimm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 1:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Form validation: client- or server-side?

RE: [PHP] Re: Where and how do i use $_post etc
Let's make some assumptions - 1) having register_globals on is bad 2) we all like to write scripts as secure as possible Given #1 and #2, if you stop referencing variables directly (e.g. as $firstName in the script below) since register_globals is off, it immediately adds a degree of security to your script if you're aware of the difference between GET and POST requests. GET requests are quite easy to fake (just add the variables and values to the URL) and unless you have checks against it, a malicious user could take advantage of this. POST requests are a bit more tricky to fake, but not difficult in the grand scheme of things. Either way, in the examples that Piet wrote, there's no extra coding. Writing the variable names is a bit more key strokes, but given the advantages of having even a slightly more secure script, it's a good thing and worth a bit more typing. -M -Original Message- From: Piet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 26, 2003 6:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: Where and how do i use $_post etc Why would i do this long coding in the second page script.php the variables values is already available in script.php when i do a post or get, if i use $_POST or $_GET to define a variable already available, that seems like a lot of extra coding for no reason.

Whether your user's submitted form data is in $_POST or $_GET depends on what method attribute you've specified in the form tag in your HTML code. Take a look at the following HTML example: form method=get action=script.php input type=text name=firstName input type=text name=lastName input type=submit /form Now in the file script.php you can access the submitted form values in the $_GET array, using the form field names as array keys. e.g: ?php $firstName = $_GET['firstName']; $lastName = $_GET['lastName']; echo 'The user submitted the name'.$firstName.'

Subject: RE: [PHP] Sessions Question
Jake,
it would be helpful if we could see your code.
That said...
first you need to identify what information you need to track in the
sessions, and whether you're going to use php sessions (the $_SESSIONS
array) or build your own mysql based session tracker.
to use php sessions:
you will need some place where you set up/create the sessions. typically
this is the login page. let's assume you'll use the login page. The logic
for the login page goes something like this: 1. present a form for logging
in (usually username/password) 2. on post, clean the posted data (remove
html, special characters, etc) 3. check the cleaned username/password
against the data in the database 4. if the username/password is valid,
create your session and assign variables to it like this:
session_start(); //create the session
$id = session_id(); // create a unique session id
session_register(id); // register id as a session variable
session_register(name); // register name as a session variable
session_register(email); // register email as a session variable
$_SESSION[id] = $id; // assign the unique session id to session
array
$_SESSION[name] = $data[name]; // assign the username to
session array
$_SESSION[email] = $data[email]; // assign additional values
(after regisering them) to session array
5. now either redirect to your main application page, or create another
page with links to that main applicaiton page. In either case every page
where you want to use sessions has to start with: session_start();
for example:
?php
session_start();
the rest of your code.
6. I recommend that you add a check to your pages to make sure that the
session is still the right one and it's intact, something like this: if
(!$_SESSION[id]) // if no session id, return to the login page {
header (Refresh: 0; url=login.php); //or
// header (location:http://www.mydomain.com/login.php;);
}else{
// the body of your code goes here.
}
7. so with all that the pages you want to access session in should have a
structure similar to: ?php session_start(); if (!$_SESSION[id]) {
header (Refresh: 0; url=login.php);
}else{
// do all kinds of nifty time card things here
}
?
Hope this is helpful.
Chris

Subject: [PHP] Sessions Question
Hi everyone,
I've been trying to set up sessions, but have been having problems. I
created an online time clock for my company using php and a mysql database.
It's everything that my boss wanted. The only problem is, he told me today
that he is planning on selling it to our partners. The actual software and
database will reside on my server, but I will give them their own database.
I started designing it about 2 years ago, and the machine that I was working
on at the time had register_globals=on, so I built my scripting around that.
I didn't know much about php at the time, but have learned an immense amount
since then.
Since a people are now going to be accessing the time clock from outside my
company, I need to turn register_globals off, and turn sessions on. My
problem is that all my variables are declared locally in the individual
files, and are being passed by forms to $PHP_SELF, and all of the variables
and their values can be seen in the address bar.
This never concerned me while being inside my firewall, since it was only my
employees and I. I knew what was going on.
I've read a lot of documents on the net concerning sessions, but still can't
get it to work right. Whenever I try to go to another page, or submit a
time, it either doesn't work at all, or it works, but the value that's in
the variable is stuck there, and I can't change it without closing the
browser and starting over.
Can someone point me in the right direction here?
Thanks,

[PHP] General .htaccess question
I think I know the answer to this, but want some confirmation from someone a bit more knowledgable about Apache and .htaccess files. My webhost has the default 404 page set to 404.html. For the sake of consistancy on a number of levels, I prefer a PHP file for this (404.php). So to do this, I created a basic .htaccess file for this very purpose and it sits in the root dir.

RE: [PHP] IIS Ports
Well, any service that listens for external access requires certain ports to be open. Basic web traffic is listened for on port 80 for example. If you get a personal (software) firewall application (ZoneAlarm for example), then you can block access to these ports. I'm not sure how well the XP firewall software works, but I'm assuming that if it's just bundled with MS then it's not great but functional. Also realize that IIS is a big security hole to begin with (as well as most Windows-default servers. Make sure your OS is fully patched updated and also remember to disable any servers that you're not using. If you're extremely paranoid, you can always get a hardware firewall to put between your machine and the rest of the network - though a software firewall should suit your needs. I hope this answers your questions, though you've already taken the first major step by having some sort of firewall in place. -M -Original Message- From: Stephen Craton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2003 4:31 PM To: PHP List Subject: [PHP] IIS Ports This is kind of off topic but kind of not, it's your call.

RE: [PHP] IIS Ports
Yes and no - even with Linux you still need to know HOW to lock down the machine and without doing so, there are still exploits that can be as, or more, dangerous than some Windows exploits (take the SSH exploit recently found that can give an intruder root access!). Bottom line is that any OS has vulnerability if you don't have the know-how to lock it down - it's not a Windows-specific problem. The Linux vs. Windows issue is moot. -M -Original Message- From: Robert Cummings [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2003 4:38 PM To: Stephen Craton Cc: PHP List Subject: Re: [PHP] IIS Ports The short answer (and a good way to start a flamewar ;) install linux :) Cheers, Rob.

RE: [PHP] How to accept file through http from curl c program??
I don't really know much about Curl, but what it -sounds- like is that Curl
isn't sending the proper headers/MIME types to the PHP script and PHP isn't
putting the input into the $_FILES array. You might want to look in your
$_GET or $_POST array for existance of the file to see if it's being sent
there.
Good luck.

At a first glance:
$fp=fopen(brianLog1, w+);
brianlog1 should either be in quotes if that's the name of the file
and
the
file doesn't have an extension. Or maybe it's a variable in which case
you'll need to put the $ in front of it..

Hi there,
Hopefully someone can shed some light for us on this.
We have a client who is sending us a file through a C program which
uses Curl. At our end we have a php script to accept the file passed

pick up what the C program sends to us.
Our php is below, $_FILES contains zilch!! Any ideas?:
foreach( $_FILES as $varname = $fileinfo ){
$filename = $fileinfo[name];
$tmpname = $fileinfo[tmp_name];
}
$uploaddir = '/usr/local/nameofdir/;
$uploadfile = $uploaddir. $_FILES['filename']['name'];

$string = HTTPS POST of Purchase Order SUCCESSFUL.

RE: [PHP] PHP on a .NET enviroment machine: Conflicts?
I've had to use CF and .Net on the same machines before and have had only minor issues with it. I've never had an issue mixing PHP and any other language before since it's pretty stand-alone, whereas CF and .Net want to own a lot of Windows functionalities as servers. I don't forsee any real problems with PHP and .Net, but I've never implimented both on the same machine unfortunately. You might also want to discuss the possibility of having a dedicated PHP server or two. That way, you can bring your code to those machines and leave all .Net machines as-is. If you can pursuade them that the PHP elements are a valuable addition to site and that it'd be less effective in PHP, you might have a chance.

RE: [PHP] game in php
Another way you can do it if you don't have that much access to the machine is to record the last time it was updated and when someone loads the page, you take the amount of time between the last incriment and now(). You then find out how many sets of 10 minutes have passed and incriment it that many times (if it's less than 10 minutes, you'll be incrimenting zero times). The only problem with this is that if 100 people load the script in a 10 minute period, only one will be updating the database - the other 99 are wasted traffic on the DB.

If you have to add any other machines in your network to relay mail through this server, try to only add their internal IP's, and relay the mail internally.

[PHP] OOP, PHP4 PHP5
I've been using PHP for a few years now and I'm quite familiar and comfortable with it. I'd like to start to seriously do some OOP coding and take things to the next level. But as I understand it, PHP5 is going to make quite a few changes/improvements to PHP4's current handling of OOP. Given that the PHP5 beta has been out for approx. 1 month, do you think it makes sense to try to get into OOP with PHP4 right now when things could change in a fairly short while (not sure how long it'll be until PHP5 is released) and then have to re-learn certain aspects of OOP after getting comfortable with it? Or do you think that the change from 4 to 5 won't really be that big of a deal? I know that many people ask OOP-related questions a lot on the board, but I was just wondering what everyone thought of the jump from 4 to 5 and about trying to start learning OOP *right now*.

Justin, when you echo/print your CSS info, you can add tabs /t and

Otherwise, when you output it to the browser it's going to print it to a

Subject: [PHP] do i need to output headers on parsed CSS files?
Hi all,
I'm forcing my style sheets (.css) though the PHP parser, so that they
can take advantage of some color variables and global config settings
via include files, eg:
body {
background-color: #?=$col['1']?;
}
however, I've noticed that when viewing the CSS file in a browser now,
it looks more like a HTML document int he browser (variable width
fonts, no newlines, etc) rather than other css files (wich look like
they have pre tags aroun them (newlines visible, fixed-width font,
etc).
So, my assumption is that pushing the .css file through PHP is putting
the wrong header on the file (text/html) rather than text/css -- or
perhaps something else -- my header knowledge is poor.
Anyway, the pages and linked CSS files *work* but do not validate any
more, witha warning You can't import an HTML document.
What/how should I force the correct headers on these PHP-parsed CSS
files?
TIA

RE: [PHP] Good PHP Books
Mark, One thing that you might want to consider is to just get the book you think is best and has the most solid content and then build your ciriculum around certain chapters. It shouldn't be hard to have a student read a chapter a night or even two chapters over the course of a week. Most of the Teach Yourself... books are designed to have a chapter read at one time and strengthen one particular concept. If your students will be purchasing their books, having the extra reference info will be good for them as well. While you probably won't want to discuss a chapter on GD if your course is intro-level, I'm sure that a lot of students will be interested in creating graphics dynamically and will benefit from having a more comprehensive reference book instead of having to go out and buy one or two more books after the course than having a book that covers everything from the beginning - even if the course doesn't cover every chapter.

[PHP] Imagerotate() Problems
I'm having some problems with imagerotate() - e.g. it won't work.
I've tried many different ways to get it to work, but I have yet to see it
do anything at all. I'm using PHP 4.3.1 on XP. I know that GD is working
properly because I can do other image-manipulation with it without error.
Plus, I installed PHP manually, not with the Windows installer (which I've
had problems getting GD to work properly on in the past).
I've added the last attempt at getting the code to work. Note that the
imagecopy() works fine and the new image displayed always ends up being an
exact copy of the destination image.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

RE: [PHP] Help needed
Realize that when you see error line... it doesn't mean that the error is definately on that line. PHP is only *so* smart. You'll find that making mistakes on line X will result in errors being reported on line X+1 or further down in your code. Don't take the errors at face value all the time - they're an amazingly useful tool, but it's only a machine and is forced by a set of rules. -Mike -Original Message- From: Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 9:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Help needed Hi all Can someone help?

RE: [PHP] possible?
How I deal with images and resizing is by uploading the image to the server,
and at that time creating a thumbnail. I have the /images folder with a
/thumbs folder inside it for the thumbnails.
The database simply refers to the name of the image and it's ID and other
associations.
This is optimal for most web uses for many reason:
* Shorter DB access time
* Not processing expensive GD functions on every image load
* Don't have to worry about passing the proper content header
As for printing the HTML size of the image, if you pass width=300 to
your script, simply create your print statement similar to:
print img src='image.php?id=1' width='$width';
Though if image ID 1 is a LARGE image, then you'll still load the entire
image, even though it's being resized to 300px wide. It's not overly
bandwidth friendly if you have large images that are still being sent from
your server (another reason that keeping local thumbnails are a good idea).
Disk space is relatively cheap. Bandwidth is still more of a commodity.

Subject: [PHP] possible?
hello,
I have some images in mysql, currently the images aren't resize, and this
displays the image, like: image.php?id=1
But i'd like to resize the image with html tags: e.g. width=300 and
print/echo it.
since Content-type is for image is it even possible? If not then how about
dynamically resizing them such as:
image.php?id=1width=300 is that possible? If so, please let me know how.
Thanks in advanced.
cheers,
Sebastian

RE: [PHP] Cookie or Session??
It really depends on what you want to do. Cookies are client-side information and thus you can run into issues where clients don't allow cookies, have cookie-blocking apps or have outdated software that doesn't support them (though the latter continues to become less of an option as time passes). Sessions are server-side information that allows you a lot more control of the information and allows better manipulation of it. PHP has really nice session management and makes using them quite painless. The only downside really is that it adds more load to your servers. If you have a machine that's not under insane load all the time, you might want to give sessions a try. Once everything's configged properly (which shouldn't be hard at all - and it might even be turned on already!), to get a user to log in, all you'll need to do is perform the DB password authentication and then pass the session information from script to script. Good luck. -Mike -Original Message- From: Awlad Hussain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 21, 2003 11:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Cookie or Session??

RE: [PHP] Zero Fill - Number Format
This is what I did for a dynamic zero-fill for renaming batches of files:
// Get Zero Padding For New Image Names
$zero_padding = strlen(count($image_array));
foreach($image_array as $temp){
$n++;
$n_length = strlen($n);
for($i = 0; $i ($zero_padding - $n_length); $i++){
$n = 0 . $n;
}
$new_name = $image_inbox . / . $newName . - . $n . .jpg;
rename($image_inbox/$temp, $new_name);
}
I'm not sure if this will be applicable to your situation, but it works
perfectly for me since it will zero-fill for any length of numbers and pad
the shorter numbers appropriately.
