[PHP] PHP Configuration - Can't Change Post_Max_Size
This is further to my post yesterday on Max File Size. I was able to set upload_max_filesize to 790 and I can therefore upload files up to that size. I would now like to increase that limit, but I am limited by post_max_size which defaults to 8M. I can't seem to change the value of post_max_size. The post_max_size directive is not in my php.ini; however, I tried inserting it into php.ini and setting it to 1600 and to 16M. I inserted it just before the directive, gpc_order = GPC. The change is ignored by phpinfo(), that is, phpinfo() still shows post_max_size = 8M. Furthermore, I tried resetting it using ini_set(post_max_size, 16M), and ini_set(post_max_size, 1600), but neither of these had any effect. Any suggestion for how I might reset post_max_size. I'm using PHP 4.0.6. Thanks in advance. Roger -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Need Redirection Trick...
Nilaab,
This sounds similar to what I was trying to do recently, i.e creating
dependent dropdown boxes. Here's a link to a demo of the code that might be
of interest to you.

Subject: [PHP] Need Redirection Trick...
Hello Everyone,
I have a simple problem that, I think, might require a little trick to be
used. I have a list of products in a database that is organized by
categories and subcategories. Categories can have as many subcategories as
it wants, but some categories don't need to have a subcategory at all.
In the following code cat refers to category and subcat refers to
subcategory.
cat_data and subcat_data refers to a multi-dimentional array, pulled from
the DB, with values of an id and a name.
example: cat_data[row_number][name_of_category] and
cat_data[row_number][id].
Ok, before I ask the question, here's the code:
[-- snip --]
?php
include (nay_general.php);
include ($include_path/base_db.class); // db
$db = new base_db();
$cat_data = $db-get_cat_data();
for ($i=0; $i count($cat_data); $i++) {
echo 'a href=' . $PHP_SELF . ?cat_id= . $cat_data[$i][id] . '' .
$cat_data[$i][name] . /abr /\n;
if ($cat_id) {
$subcat_data = $db-get_subcat_data($cat_id);
if ($subcat_data != 0 ($cat_id == $cat_data[$i][id])) {
for ($j=0; $j count($subcat_data); $j++) {
echo 'nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;- a href=' . $PHP_SELF .
?cat_id=$cat_idsubcat_id= . $subcat_data[$j][id] . '' .
$subcat_data[$j][name] . /abr /\n;
}
}
elseif ($subcat_data == 0 ($cat_id == $cat_data[$i][id])) {
$subcat_id = 0;
header(Location: $PHP_SELF?cat_id=$cat_idsubcat_id=$subcat_id);
}
}
}
?
[-- snip --]
What this does is it lists all the categories in the database, initially.
When the user clicks on a category, the script will check if the category
has any subcategories associated with it. One of two things should happen
after this.
First, it should list all the subcategories directly below the category it
is associated with, with a little indention to specify that they are
subcategories. The subcategories listed will be a link that passes over the
cat_id and subcat_id GET variables to the same page.
example:category 1
category 2
- subcategory 1
- subcategory 2
- subcategory 3
category 3
.
.
.
This part of the script works fine.
The second thing that should happen is that if there are actually no
subcategories for the selected category then subcat_id should equal 0 and
the script should redirect back to the same page with the GET variables of
cat_id and subcat_id (which is equal to zero at this point). The problem is
that I cannot redirect with a header() function because content is already
sent to the browser at the beginning of the script (the list of categories).
Is there any other way that I can redirect and send the variables of cat_id
and subcat_id to the page in the second situation mentioned earlier?
Register Globals is on.

[PHP] Max File Size
Hi, I'm having a problem uploading files greater than 2mb, but I believe the problem is related to php.ini. UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE in my submit form is set to 1000. Also, I set upload_max_filesize = 1000 in php.ini. After changing php.ini, I stopped and then started httpd. I thought this was enough to be able to upload files greater than the default 2mb. Even though php.ini has been changed, when I check phpinfo.php, I see that upload_max_filesize is still 2mb and my file is not being uploaded. Can anyone tell me what I am missing here.

RE: [PHP] Problem with is_dir function
I believe the path is of the correct format.
So for example, if
$user_dir = /home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforum/user
and $user_dir exists, then
is_dir($user_dir) should = 1
however, if $user_dir doesn't exist, then
is_dir($user_dir) should = 0
Isn't this the correct logic?

what values of $user_dir are you passing to is_dir?
echo them out before the test, you might be sending paths which are most

The Situation:
I'm trying to create a pair of dynamic dropdown boxes where the options in
the second box are dependent on the selection in the first box. I call
the
first box categories and the second, subcategories. I want to store
the
categories and subcategories in a mysql table(s) so that a user can
dynamically update them. Currently, I have a single table called
categories, with columns: id, category, and subcategory.
The primary code for selecting the options for the second box is in
javascript. This code makes use of the following datasets for storing the
various categories and subcategories. If I can get php to generate this
text, then the dependent boxes will work.

RE: [PHP] Re: set filename of file open/download
Richard Lynch wrote
On Saturday, August 24, 2002 4:52 PM
To: David Buerer
I'm using a php script to stream a microsoft word file to a browser.
I'm sending header(Content-type: {$mimetype[DOC]} \n); to set the mime
type to application/msword so that the browser knows how to open the
file.
However, some users systems are configured to allow the choice of open or
saveas. The problem is that when the user selects saveas the filename it
uses is the name of the php script which streams the file, not the actual
filename of the file. How do I set this filename?
Alas, different browsers do this differently...
The *BEST* way to do it is to make your link be named the filename you
want
them to download:
Example:
http://uncommonground.com/events.pdf
This is *really* a PHP script that happens to have a filename of
'events.pdf'
I've put this into my .htaccess file to force Apache to parse events.pdf
as
PHP:
Files events.pdf
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
/Files
So Apache knows it's a PHP file and PHP spews out valid PDF content and
the browser never even sees .php anywhere, so the browser thinks it's
just
getting a static PDF file.
If you have a zillion files to link to, you might want to consider:
Creating broken links to http://example.com/index/nonexistent.doc *BUT*
you have a file named 'index' and a ForceType like above to make Apache
parse it as PHP, and inside 'index' you do:
?php
# Use $path_info to determine what file they wish to download.
# NOTE: It's going to be $_ENV['path_info'] or $_SERVER['path_info'] or
something like that now...
# Use phpinfo() to figure out what it is...
?
Or, if that sounds too tricky just put the filename into the link, even
though it looks bogus:
http://example.com/download.php/whatever.doc?filename=whatever.doc
Even though your PHP file is really 'download.php', Apache and PHP don't
care about that extra crap in there '/whatever.doc' and the browsers are
so
stupid they think you've got an actual file with that name in it.
You can also dink with headers involving Content-disposition and something
else I forgot, since IE and Netscape and different versions of each look
at
different headers to decide what to use for Save As... *BUT* there
will
always be some minor version of IE or Netscape that doesn't follow their
own
rules, and the headers won't work for it. Thus I usually go with the
first
option, and don't even give the browser any way to know that it's not a
plain old static URL.
I have been struggling with this problem for the last several days. (See my
recent post, Trouble Downloading Files, 8.24.02. The problem I had was
mostly with IE. Here is how I solved it.
I used the code from the following as the basis of my code:
http://www.zend.com/zend/trick/tricks-august-2001.php
To make it work in IE, I had to add two lines to the section on send
headers (See commented lines below).
//send headers
if(($pc 1) AND isset($mimetype[$p[$pc - 1]]))
{
//display file inside browser

RE: [PHP] Re: Trouble Downloading Files
Richard Lynch responded
Monday, August 26, 2002 3:28 PM
to Roger Lewis
I'm not certain this is the right place to ask, but here goes. For
security
reasons I have placed certain document files in a directory outside my
web
root. There are many types of files included (e.g. jpg, gif, txt, pdf,
xls,
doc, mdb, ppt, and dwg). Clicking links on my web page will download the
files through a php script (getdocfile.php) into a new pop-up window.
The
following is how I have coded the link:
a href='#' target=_blank
onclick=window.open('../getdocfile.php?file=?php echo
$DrawingGroups-Value(filename)?',
'_blank','resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=700,height=500');return
false?php echo $DrawingGroups-Value(is_viewable)?/a
Problem: The download fails with IE5.5 when trying to retrieve files
other
than jpg, gif, txt, and pdf. One of the following happens depending on
whether or not I force the download dialog box for the file to appear:
(Note: I force the download dialog by commenting out the appropriate mime
types in the code below)
IE is stupid.
Really, really stupid.
Not that Netscape is any smarter, or anything, but IE is really really
really stupid.
In particular, their hack to have embedded documents in a browser and
stuff
rely on the URL of the thing being downloaded and when you start crossing
that with your .php URL and JavaScript's popup windows, all hell breaks
loose, as you've noted.
Things you *might* try:
1. Rename the getdocfile.php to getdocfile.htm and force Apache to make it
a
PHP file.
2. Get rid of the ?file= part, and just use
/?=$DrawingGroups-Value('filename')? and then use $path_info in your
getdocfile.htm script instead of $_GET['file']
3. Whoops. 2. conflicts with 3. You maybe be stuck with something
really
stupid like using:
/?=str_replace('.', '_', $DrawingGroups-Value('filename')?.htm and then
inside of getdocfile.htm you'll need to de-construct the foo_pdf.htm back
into foo.pdf to get the file you actually want.
Yes, your URLs will now look very strange, but remember how stupid IE is?
It's really stupid.
4. You may even need to go so far as to have the popup window have a META
tag to re-locate to the actual document you want, so that only an HTML
document is the first thing to appear in the popup window. Again, IE is
really stupid, and as soon as you cross a popup with a non-HTML document
(of
certain types you have begun to discover empirically) it screws up.
I never have figured out which/why/when IE screws up popups with non-HTML
content and don't really care cuz I hate popups... But it's a known
issue,
and there's not much you can do about it other than make IE happy by
following the adage: Don't do that.
Richard,
Did you see my reply to your recent response to David Buerer in Re: set
filename of file open/download?
After searching everything I could find on the subject, and hours of trying
as many combinations of headers as I could think of, I got everything to
work the way I wanted in both IE and NN. The pop-up pops up. The jpg and
pdf, etc. files open in the windows. If it's an xls or some such file, the
dialog asks if I want to save or open. Whatever my response, it knows the
filename and behaves as requested. Hard to believe. :) I believe the key
was to add:
header('Cache-Control: public');
Any thoughts as to why this is needed for MSIE.
Roger

There is a lot about protecting php and html files but not much on other, non-php files in external directories. There is some discussion about .htaccess, but I know nothing about this. Is that the way to do it, or can it be done with php. Justin French, Tuesday, August 20, 2002 10:40 PM In real short, you want to store the files outside your htdocs root (so they can't be served by http), OR restrict them from being served by using a htaccess file (try an apache list, the apache site, or your ISP sys admin). Then, you want to serve those files THROUGH a PHP script. Usually these scripts will: - authenticate a user - set the right mime-type header for the file type using header() - parse the requested file though the PHP script to the browser There were a few recent threads on this... search for the following subject lines in the archives: - Authenticate files downloads - secure files acess Finally, there is a decent script/article/tutorial on the Zend site (another place you should have looked), which is the basis for my code at the moment. http://www.zend.com/zend/trick/tricks-august-2001.php Well, I originally searched for protect file downloads. I also searched protect individual files, protect files, authenticate files, and on and on. There are thousands of messages, but very few with relevant titles or content. One point to consider: I have no control over the files themselves. They are being uploaded to the document directories by end users, so I do not know the file names. What I am trying to do is prevent someone who knows the path to the file from being able to gain access to it without authorization. One of the best ideas I saw was to put the files outside the web root directory. That sounded pretty good until I discovered that then I couldn't access the files. Now you've again pointed out that solution, so I'm sure it will work. I've just got to study up on the subject. I ran across the Zend article a couple of weeks ago, but it's going to take me awhile to understand it. I'm pretty new at this game, and my programming skills are very limited. I'm going to research .htaccess also.

[PHP] Multiple File Uploads With a Single Input
Is anyone aware of any recent developments that would allow you to upload multiple files from a single input type=file. Many of the messages in the archives say that this is impossible; however, these messages are more that a year old. I would like to be able to click a browse button, select multiple files, and upload them to a directory all at one time. Can it be done?

RE: [PHP] How Do You Protect Individual Files
Justin, Thanks again. I've been doing some more research on .htaccess. The problem I see is that it is high maintenance, i.e. I've already got a MySQL table of users with username and password. To use .htaccess, you have to have a htpasswd file containing duplicate usernames and passwords, and this would have to be in sync with the MySQL table. I have found that there is an Apache module, mod_auth_mysql, that allows .htaccess to access a MySQL database for the information it needs. This module is available at http://www.diegonet.com/support/mod_auth_mysql.shtml. Problem is you have to install the mod and recompile Apache, I think. And I don't know how to do that yet. However, if everything works in accordance with my interpretation, you should be able to put an .htascess file into the directory you wish to protect and Mod_auth_mysql will communicate with the database to authenticate the users.

[PHP] How Do You Protect Individual Files
I haven't been able to find much on this subject in the archives. Using sessions I have been able to have the server validate the user's access level before serving him a page. I put include files on each page that I want authenticated. This is all well and good, except on my pages there are links to non-html, and non-php files that are stored in document directories on the server. How, on a file-by-file basis, do I ensure that the user is authorized to download these files? If he gets to them through the link I provide, this is acceptable because he is already authorized to view the page that the link is on. However, if he somehow knows the full path to the file, he can get to it directly, bypassing the link and overriding the authentication system. Thanks for any help on this question.

I tried this, but I got an index error. It doesn't understand 'address'
and I couldn't figure out what was going on.
To Kevin Waterson who responded
simply create your array and use implode.
There is an example of comma seperated lists in the manual
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php
I like this method because it seems more elegant than above, but I don't
seem to be able to create the array properly.
I tried the following as well as many other combinations, but couldn't get
anything to work:
$sql = SELECT email_address FROM users WHERE is_subscribed = 1;
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$to = implode(,, mysql_fetch_array($result));

Thanks for the quick responses from Chris, Daren, and Kevin. I didn't know

This looks like it might do the trick since I only have 20 to 30 recipients

Be careful however. Most SMTP servers has a limit on the number of
recipients you can send one email to. It's a very easy way to trigger spam

[PHP] How do you make a directory
I'm trying to learn to create a directory in php, and from everything I've read I created this simple test that I put into the file add_user_dir.php. Unfortunately I can't get it to work. I am getting the error message: Warning: MkDir failed (Permission denied) in /home/sites/home/users/demo/web/Admin/add_user_dir.php on line 20. Obviously, it has something to do with permissions. I have chmod for the directory 'userforum' set to 0777. I tried playing around with umask, and changing the chmod, but I can't get anything to work. I am using PHP 4.0.6 with Apache 1.3.20 Here is the script: form action=? echo $PHP_SELF; ? method=post name=FormName pUser Nameinput type=text name=username size=24 border=0 input type=submit name=submitButtonName value=Make Directory border=0/p /form ?php $dirpath = /home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforum . $username; mkdir($dirpath, 0777); ?

Assuming $username is 'tom', are you trying to create:
a) /home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforumtom
or:
b) /home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforum/tom
Your code is trying to do (a). In any case whatever you're trying to do, you
need both the following:
i) Have execute permissions ('x') on all the directories in the path leading
down to where you wish to create your directory
ii) Have write permission ('w') on the directory in which you are creating
your directory
Jason and TechSupport,
Jeeze, do I feel stupid. One slash and that's all it took. Thanks much.
Re the permissions, I have userforum set to 0777. php creates the new
directory as 0775. Presumably this is because of the effect of umask,
right?
When I upload files to the new directory using php uploading script, they go
in as 0600, with owner - httpd, and group - root. (The owner/group on my
machine is httpd/httpd). I can link to and read the files on the browser OK
so I'm happy. Are there any security issues I should be concerned with
here.
