[PHP] Is this possible with php
Hi, I really don't think this is possible from what I know of php, but I thought I would as the experts. Is it possible to have php create directories and move files on a local machine. I have created a web portal for a client and now they would like it to upload files to an server, no a problem. But they would like it to also move temp files on the users computer to new directories and then upload the file to the server with no user interation other than clicking go. I have thought of doing this in vb or c# but I have done very little with these languages, and php just rocks.

Re: [PHP] is this possible in PHP?
I want a script that can display a list of all the websites currently hosted on my server.. (i have root access to the server) Say I have a page sitesonmyserver.php..it shud show a list of all the websites hosted on my server..eg: abc.com xyz.om And any additional info if possible? I'd make a script that went through the httpd.conf file with DOM and pulled out all the virtual hosts. Either that or looked at the home directory listings for each site. If this is what you were getting at (seeing as you mentioned root access and what-not), then read the next paragraph. If not, you can skip the next paragraph. This is quite a dangerous thing to do. Giving PHP root access to your server is like giving a homeless guy your credit card. Anyone can access the resources that PHP uses if they try hard enough. You might as well just hand every hacker on the web a little Post-It note with your root password on it. Is such a thing possible in PHP.. or does any such script exists? Definitely. If you take the right approach! I'd use a database. You could certainly find a class or script that could accomplish the database lookup that would get what you wanted. I'd start by reading the manual sections on mySQL database queries. http://us4.php.net/mysql Hope this helps! -- The Disguised Jedi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now you have my $0.02.

Why don't you have the httpd.conf then the virtual domains in another file (which is included into the httpd.conf). You can then use a cron to copy this (the vir doms) to another file (say the dir above webroot) and chown it to www:www for use with apache. PHP can then read this parse the ServerNames without having it read the root dirs or giving it special access rights.

Generally, no. You would need some black magic that probed the guts of
your web server for this information. And by black magic I mean some
low-level C code.
A bit of grey magic I wrote almost exactly 9 years ago now! (May 1,
1996) in the form of Apache's mod_info module might help you out a
little bit. If you define all your vhosts in your httpd.conf file and
not in included files, then you can enable mod_info in your Apache
config, and restrict access to the information to localhost with
something like:
Location /server-info
SetHandler server-info
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
/Location
Then your PHP code would hit your server's local /server-info link and
parse it with something along the lines of:
$info = file_get_contents('http://localhost/server-info?http_core.c');
preg_match_all('/.*servername .*?(\S+?).*/i',$info,$reg);
$vhosts = $reg[1];
You may need to doublecheck that regex. I didn't actually test it.

[PHP] Is it possible using php ?
A server and client are connected using a 35kbps PPP link. A user on the client side types the URL of a mpeg file on the location bar. The same file is also existing in $DIR of the client (windows) system. Now, since the file is already there on the local hard disk of the client, the file need not be downloaded through the PPP link, instead be played from the local disk - which makes faster access ! It is something like this: if file available locally, then use that file else send the file present in the location as given by the URL Is there a way to do this from the server side using php. Or using any other tool, can we do it on the client side - that is, say, some program always runs in the background and whenever a URL is entered, the $DIR is checked to see if the file is present else it is retrieved from the location. All this should be transparent to the user. Can anyone help me please ? Regards, Uma -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Yes, in a webDAV enabled directory on your webserver (http://www.webdav.org). Its a module that you can compile for use with Apache (I'm using it under linux). M$ are one of the authors of the standard (RFC2518). Currently I need to first save it on my desktop, then upload that copy to a php-supported server. Yes, that is the problem statement. In a webDAV enabled directory, its like an ordinary directory from your webserver but read/write, with file locking. Any authorisation your webserver supports may be used. Nothing to do with PHP though. Regards Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi, Where did he say he wanted to use Word to edit PHP files? AFAICT the idea was to automatically upload Word files, presumably to make them available on an Intranet for download etc. As for uploading a file automatically - PHP isn't going to do it. An app which can map a virtual drive in Windows would probably be the best bet - I think Windows has built in support for mapping WebDAV and FTP servers as shares so this may be a good starting point.

I have looked at webdav, ftp, etc. None can solve my client's problem without a major overhaul of the system. The problem is: My client has a document management system (implemented in php) on a server. It does uploads without problem. However, each time, a file get modified, it has to be saved on local disk first and uploaded to the server by a few more clicks. It would be nice if the application (e.g.,ms words) can save the modified file directly to the server. I am wondering if office suite applications can be tweaked (using macros, vb?), so that a 'save' event will trigger an action of automatic upload. Or there is a better approach.

RE: [PHP] Is This Possible? (Database - PHP)
Yes, it's certainly possible. You will have to talk your host into giving you remote access though, which could be hard. How permissions work in MySQL is that your username is given permission to connect from a specific host. Generally, the host is listed as 'localhost' meaning the script has to be on the same server as MySQL. You can also have '%' as your host, meaning you can connect from anywhere. Or, when your ISP assigns you an IP, the first 2 or 3 octets are generally the same. So you could put something like '123.123.%' or '123.123.123.%' in your host. You hosting provider, if they're any good, will know all about this. It's hard to talk people into giving you access, though, because they are generally pretty paranoid. ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: r [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 12:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Is This Possible?
