How do I turn relaying on??
I think that means you need to authenticate. The mail() function has no
authentication support. You may want to try this class that comes with a
subclass for sending messages via SMTP that supports authentication. It
comes also with a wrapper function named smtp_mail() that emulates the
mail() function so you can use it as replacement without changing your
scripts too much:
http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage
You also need this for message delivery.

Hello,
I have developed a package which is exactly same what you explained here. It
is PHP-MySQL (Windows/Linux)combination. I have another older version which
was PHP-MSAccess (Windows). If you want I can give you logins for test
purposes.
This system is currently in use. I have to creat identical system for you on
another server. Please let me know if you are interested in this.
Let me know
Suhas

I'm interested in an established package with support by the user
community, not a package with source distribution restrictions and
prohibitive licensing fees.
If you release your software for public review, I'll happily consider
it. Otherwise, I guess I'll write my own....

lol we we just discussing this at work the printer functions are only for
windoze , there is jscript window.print() to bring up the printer dialog ,
a project i just did implemented htmldoc which outputted the formatted
content to pdf which was a more well formed format for printing rather than
from the browser itself

Download dataxi-install-xxx.tar.gz.
That inludes a package called dzdocprint.php that produces PDF that you
can pass to CUPS printer on the server side (lpr -Pprintername tmp.pdf).
If you download the example-xxx.tar.gz you find a file called
print_album.ini that is an example template for printing used by
dzdocprint.php.
Let me know if you have any troubles getting started with it.

I have this php code (below), My form passes 2 values w/c is TemplateOne and
TemplateTwo I was wondering how could I make that in php to catch the value
as one only? I tried this and it didn't work. But if the value is just one
the case display it. Any ideas?
<?php
$v_template = $_REQUEST['TemplateOne'] ;
$v_template = $_REQUEST['TemplateTwo'] ;
switch($v_template) {
case 'TemplateOne':
echo "one";
break;
case 'TemplateTwo':
echo "two";
break;
}
?>

Thank you,

You could do it a couple different ways, if you just want to combine the
values the easiest way is:
$v_template = $_REQUEST['TemplateOne'] . $_REQUEST['TemplateTwo'];
If you want a space between the two values expand on this idea using:
$v_template = $_REQUEST['TemplateOne'] . ' ' . $_REQUEST['TemplateTwo'];
If you get a minute checkout the PHP manual at
http://www.php.net/manual, it covers this topic and has quite a few
useful tips in it.

It's not clear what you're trying to do. If the values are for a
radio button or checkbox, use the same name for both buttons.
The values have to be mutually exclusive for what you;re trying to do
to work.
You could do something like this:
if (isset($_REQUEST['TemplateOne']) {
$test=$_REQUEST['TemplateOne'];
} elseif (isset($_REQUEST['TemplateTwo']) {
$test=$_REQUEST['TemplateTwo'];
} else {
$test="";
}
echo $test;
------
or this:
$test=0
if (isset($_REQUEST['TemplateOne']) {
$test=1;
}
if (isset($_REQUEST['TemplateTwo']) {
$test+=2;
}
switch ($test) {
case 1:
echo "one";
break;
case 2:
echo "two";
break;
case 3:
echo "one and two";
break;
}
Without knowing what you're actually trying to do, however, we're all
just shooting in the dark.

You're comparing apples and oranges -- cookies are one of the mechanisms
by which PHP implements sessions. The other is URL-munging. So if you use
sessions, odds are cookies are coming along for the ride. What you
definitely /don't/ want to do is to store application data in the cookie
itself, due to various security (public machines) and technical (4k size
limit) concerns. PHP's built-in session support uses the cookie data as an
identifier, to match a user to the data stored in a session file, and in
general this is the way to go. The only major flaw I've found with PHP's
session support is that it doesn't appear to be possible to force the data
to be written without also closing the session. In general, PHP's session
features are pretty complete, and easily modifiable.
To clear up a few items below:
>Cons of Sessions
>1. saves it in /tmp - world viewable
not necessarily so, see php.net/session_save_path
>2. Session ID may be easy to guess unless I md5 the sessionID before
>sending it out
you can define your own session id if you'd like, see php.net/session_id
for example, to help deter session fixation, you might require that the
session be a hash of certain environment variables, such as remote IP or
user-agent string.
>Cons of cookies
>1. cookies can be rejected by users
>2. if rejected, means session can't be preserved across pages?? (this I'm
>not sure)
this is where URL-munging will come into play; PHP will resort to this if
cookies are rejected.
>3. cookie is stored in user's hard drive. What is user using public PC?
don't use the cookie to store application data - use it to determine the
user's identity. This is the behavior that PHP's session features
encapsulate.

Hi Mike,
based on what you're saying, I gather that if I were to choose to
use cookies, and if cookies were rejected by the user, PHP will default to
using sessions?

I've had similar issues using cookies. The cookie was storing my details
but only for the duration of the session despite having set the expiry
date to a time well into the future. Any ideas for why this may have
happened?
The only major flaw I've found with PHP's
session support is that it doesn't appear to be possible to force the data
to be written without also closing the session.
Mike - can you expand on your point above?

If you chose to use sessions, and cookies were rejected by the user, then
PHP would append the session ID to each internal link, in order to
preserve the session ID between requests.
If you just used cookies with no supplemental method, and cookies were
rejected by the user, then your method would break.

I've running into this problem where--in an app with a lot of OOP and
reference-passing, on a shared host--requests would die out before
reaching the end, though they'd do enough work to be useful. I can't seem
to be able to fix the instability (see below), but I was able to work
around one of the flaws of the session support: normally the user's
session data is read from a file, typically in /tmp, at the start of a
request. This data is manipulated by the script when values in
$GLOBALS['_SESSION'] are changed, and then it's written back to the file
at the end of the request. My issue was that frequently, my scripts
wouldn't finish correctly, session data would not be written to the file,
and therefore it would be lost between requests. I had hoped to find a
function like session_write_close() that did not have the side effect of
closing the session altogether, but instead I ended up rolling my own,
with more frequent disk writes at crucial junctures.
If anyone can help shed any light on the sort of instability I'm seeing,
that would really help. Apache child processes die right and left, with
segfaults and bus errors.

Perhaps you want an html table?
Maybe using a counter of some sort to keep track of your <tr> <td> left
</td> <td> right </td> </tr>?
Perhaps you want to use <pre>to output left item, 20-strlen(left_item)
spaces, right item \n?
Perhaps to pull the values, your counter will increment by 2.
value[counter] on left, value[counter+1] on right?
Perhaps create the page in only html the way you want it to appear, then
look for patterns that can be created by looping through a logic structure
(like www.netfobs.org/dates.php)?

PHP 4.3.2 has GD bundled with it, if you compile it from source do
--with-gd to use the bundled library. It sounds like you need to
install GD2, you can find it on freshmeat.net or probably find an RPM
for your distro somewhere.
If you have libjpeg and libpng I've had no problems using the bundled GD
library with PHP, if you take the PHP compile line from phpinfo() it
should be pretty easy to recompile your PHP and at the same time upgrade
to 4.3.2 :).
Take a look at http://www.php.net/manual for install instructions if you
need more information.

Hello
I hope someone can help me.
I use my local machine to develop and then upload to whatever site.
I have one site that does some image resizing, uses a call to
imagecreatetruecolor.
Works fine on the host and used to work fine on my local machine. But
now that I come back to make some changes it no longer works on local
machine.
I get this warning: Warning: imagecreatetruecolor(): requires GD 2.0
or later.
I was using RedHat 8.0 and a short time back I ran up2date that
upgraded the php but not the gd. I think this is where the problem
came in.
I tried to upgrade gd but there were dependicies that seem like it
would reguire updating half the system. If I remember gd 2.0 wanted
db4.1 and db4.0 is used by many, many things.
I thought it would be easier to simply upgrade from RedHat 8 to RedHat
9 which is what I did. It took me all day to get everything
straighened out and running again but I still have the same problem
getting the same warning.
If I run a script that contains the following:
<?php
// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();
?>
I am told that I am now running PHP Version 4.2.2 and if I go down to
the gd section the second line says GD Version 1.6.2 or higher.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the php but this didn't help.

By default, Safe Mode does a UID compare check when opening files. If
you want to relax this to a GID compare, then turn on safe_mode_gid.
Whether to use UID (FALSE) or GID (TRUE) checking upon file access.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php
Other than that consider turning off safe mode if you have access to it,
or turn it off for your virtual host.

Wouldn't it make sense for safe_mode also to allow read access to files
owned by the web server's process as well as the directory owner's?
Obviously, a process running as uid 80 won't be able to suid to another
user. If I make the directory owned by the user, the files will be
inaccessible, but if I make the directory uid 80, then *it* will be
inaccessible.
Is there some other solution to storing (and then retrieving) files with
safe_mode on?
Thanks.

Jason,
safe_mode_gid may indeed be the solution, though it seems to go way too
far in relaxing things.
It's the functionality of safe_mode that I want ... with the proviso
that the web server should be able to read files that it writes.
I will not consider turning off safe_mode entirely, any more than I will
consider giving customers shell access to my servers. That would seem
to be foolhardy. But that may just be the paranoia talking.

Errrr... I'm not totally sure I understand what you are asking for, but
I do know the following should work:
1) Create a index.php file in the /search/ directory that expects two
"GET" parameters.
2) Set up the following mod_rewrite:
RewriteRule /search/([^/]+)/(.+)
/www/htdocs/search/index.php?First=$1&Last=$2
Should allow this:
> http://www.searcher.com/search/firstname/secondname
to call index.php as:

Hope this helps.

Hi All
I think I missed a bit to my Basic Auth issue which I hope to clarify here.
1) User successfully logins into my UNIX/Apache/Php site using my
MySql/SESSION/$_POST combo.
2) Now I need to send a username:password pair to a Windows box to allow
access to a Basic Auth protected resource on the Win box.
3) The aim is to seamlessly pass the u:p pair to the win box for auth and
allow my user to access the resource.
I thought that after doing my checking than sending the u:p pair like this:
http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]://10.0.0.1/dir in a similar fashion to browser
ftping would do the trick but it doesn't .
Can anyone help me with this please.
Server 1 = FreeBSD/Apache1.3/PHP.4.3
Server 2 = Win2K Server
Thanks in advance for any help

There is a setting in MSOutlook/MSOE to wrap your lines, say, at 62 or
70.
I don't remember my experiences with MSOE on Mac very well, but MSOE on
MSW2k had little triangles on buttons in various places. If you hit the
button, you got the standard function. If you hit the triangle, you got
a pop-up menu. Pop-up menu for replies included basically all the
potential reply addresses (according to MS judgement of potential reply
addresses). Look around, maybe you can find something like that on
MSOutlook 98.
<rambling>
We had some virus problems here last year, and now MS mail clients are
banned. The company standardized on Becky for the MSWxx boxes, which is
a really nice client, all sorts of features for mailing lists,
newsgroups, etc. The filter setup is a little weird, but it works great.
So I am beginning to forget the "conveniences" of MSOE on MSW2k, as well,
which is not something I mind forgetting.
But I have to admit, I find it puzzling why copy/pasting a mail address
should be considered such an inconvenience. I admit, copy/paste on MSWxx
feels clumsier than on a Mac, but the operations are fundamental to GUI.
I also find it a puzzle why so many companies seem to think that
MSOutlook's advantages outweigh the problems of having to bolt antivirus
on everything (and the occasional slip-through that then proceeds to
dirty entire subnets), but that is a separate topic.

File server, of course, has nothing to do with php unless you write the
file server in php. 8*| Or, perhaps that mod_php is usually compiled
into the file server.

Perhaps what he meant by web server was firewall (i. e., handling the
internet interface), and by file server he meant what we now call web
server (i. e., presenting the view of the file system that the outside
world is supposed to see)?

Yeah, but what you're likely to end up with is apache on one machine
just passing requests to and from apache-mod_php-your_app on another
machine.
Or, you could use some other web server on the second machine, might
even be something dead-simple, like a shell process running command-line
PHP (don't do that unless you know how and why already) or a perl (php?)
script that passes things on to the PHP cgi.
Are you familiar with Tomcat?
The typical production arrangement with Tomcat, except for sites that
use very little static html, is to have Apache handle the static html,
and Tomcat handle the jsp/java. Apache and Tomcat can definitely be on
separate machines.
I think I have read somewhere reports of some project working to set up
a similar special-purpose php-template server for php, but that may be
just my imagination.

Hello,
I need to be able to communicate from a Java Applet to a PHP program on the
server to enable "Live Connect" for data. This is what I intend to do:
In my web application, a Java Script program will call a Java Applet which
then calls the PHP program on the server. The PHP program works like a
"servlet" and passes the result back to the Java applet which passes the
information back to the JavaScript program.
How can a Java applet work with a PHP program? Are there any special
precautions / programming issues involved?
Thanks in advance
With Regards,
Sharat

Not anything that you wouldn't have to pay attention to in passing stuff
between applications in other instances.
I'd use XML/SOAP to pass around the data. There are many reasons to do
this, I wont list them here just because there are plenty of articles on
the web advocating the use of XML. The added bonus is the buzzword factor.

you want to use either dom or saxon to parse the xml within java. So
your applet can call some class that loads, parses and then does
something with the xml.
Usually you want to use a sax parser for the speed, however you can use
a dom parser to manipulate the dom tree...

Hi,
I'm working on a CMS like system. Its uses heavly SQL for page rendering.
Yesterday I made a stress test. System stable for just 30 secs (for 60
request per sec, An Athlon750 with 320 mb ram). My investigation is Apache
stalls when writing sessions. System uses sessions for store sniffed browser
information.
Which is faster, writing 2 or 3 k data into session or sql db (after
serializing)

Hello
i plan to reorganize my CMS code.
The idee is to only use classes for the hole system.
There should be a Core class to handle the whole functionality
(Login, Backend, Permission, Modules)
Every Module as a class (News, Pictures ...)
the construct should be like this
class Core extends Backend {
}
class Backend extends News {
}
class News {
}
if i have more modules as only one class Backend must extends News,
Pictures ....
i could make a temp class to extend the Module only if the module is
called
class Backend extends Temp {
}
rquire_once 'class to inlude in case of Module'
--- file for class News ----
class Temp extends News {
}
class News {
}
--- file for class Picture ---
class Temp extends Picture {
}
class Picture {
}
in this case I must always write the Temp class in every Module Class
maybe there is a ohter solution for this ?
I'm working with ITX_Templates, DB from PEAR and wenn i split the
classes i must always assign the objects to the other classes.

from the manual
Example 1. Basic substr() usage
<?php
$rest = substr("abcdef", 1); // returns "bcdef"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 1, 3); // returns "bcd"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 0, 4); // returns "abcd"
$rest = substr("abcdef", 0, 8); // returns "abcdef"
// Accessing via curly braces is another option
$string = 'abcdef';
echo $string{0}; // returns a
echo $string{3}; // returns d
?>
If start is negative, the returned string will start at the start'th
character from the end of string.
Example 2. Using a negative start
<?php
$rest = substr("abcdef", -1); // returns "f"
$rest = substr("abcdef", -2); // returns "ef"
$rest = substr("abcdef", -3, 1); // returns "d"
?>

I currently have all my users in safe-mode to prevent them from running
shell commands via php.
I would still like for them to be able to access certain folders (i.e. PEAR,
basic_functions, etc..) that reside out of their root.
Since safe_mode prevents this, is there a way in the domain's config, to
allow access to *specific* directories when in safe_mode?

Hello everyone,
I have a form that gets filled out and within this form there is a link
to add additional information in a new form. When this information is
saved I would like the browser to redirect to the previous form (this I
can do) but with all the details they have already filled out still in
the text boxes. What is the easiest way to do this using PHP?
Many thanks

By maintaining the POST (assuming you're using POST)variables and
calling them into the form values when reloaded. If you go to the second
page store the POST variables in hidden form input types, then grab them
when the second page is POSTED. Does this make sense? Not enough
caffeine for me yet...

So basically I need to have 2 versions of the first page, is that right?

Not really, test for emptiness of the variable (isset())...if it is set
display it, if not show it as blank.

You'll have to forgive me as I am unfamiliar with PHP, still a
beginner!! So if I have a page (page1.php) which is my first page with a
form. When I click a normal link within this form it takes me to
page2.php. This page has another smaller form. When the submit button in
this form is clicked it updates the database with no problems and
displays a link - linking back to page1.php (I have decided not to use
redirect). How do load the page and fill all the text boxes with the
information that was already written - because this information (from
page1.php, first form) has not been saved to the database yet.
You probably knew this anyway - but I had to go through that process to
satisfy myself!!
Many Thanks

No, in your first form you have code like
<?php
if ((!isset($_POST)) || (!isset($_POST['foo']))) {
$foo = <set default value here>;
} else {
$foo = $_POST['foo'];
}
?>
<form method="post" action="form2.php">
<input type="text" name=foo value="<?php echo $foo;?>" />
...
</form>
and in the second form you have:
<form method="post" action="form1.php">
<input type="hidden" name=foo value="<?php echo $_POST['foo'];?>" />
...
</form>
Cheers, Greg.

If you are just clicking on a link instead of submitting the information
you have not populated any variables...so no recall is available unless
the clicked link is formatted to hold the variables (a GET). For
instance
<a href = "someotherpage.php?name=Gary">Click Here</a>
$_GET['name'] is equal to "Gary"
You can do it for more than one variable...
<a href = "someotherpage.php?name=Gary&address=Chicago">Click Here</a>
$_GET['name'] is equal to "Gary"
$_GET['address'] is equal to "Chicago"
HTH!

Hello,
The folowing code gives an error:
print "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>";
This is probably because I print a questionmark? How can I avoid that an
error is generated?
Besides it's not an error in the way that it gives an errorstring but it
writes the output in the error_log of apache...
Greetings,

Question mark's are not special or reserved in strings
like $'s are. That shouldn't be the problem.

you can always print like so...
print '<?xml version="1.0"?>';
Then the parser does not try to parse inside the line. However, I dont
know what will happen when you have short_open_tags in your php.ini file
turned on...i usually turn it all of..

try this
print "<\?xml version=\"1.0\"\?>";
This might fix it.

If I've understood your initial email correctly another approach would be to save the
contents of the form to your database and populate the form fields presented
subsequently with information retrieved from the database.
You can use the header function to redirect to whatever page you wish once the
information has been saved.

Michael Egan

Wouldn't I then be saving the contents of that page twice in the
database?

I'm trying to get the output of a shell command with PHP
This is the command I'm Trying to execute, I also tried using system instead
of passthru
<?php
passthru(ftpwho -v, $return_var);
echo $return_var;
?>
Both cases "passthru" and "system" Outputed "2" but should have outputted
something like this:
standalone FTP daemon [17899]:
21852 geiri [ 4h45m] (n/a) STOR /UPLOAD_HERE/moviemusic/The Soprano's -
Music from the HBO Original Series
KB/s: 143.87
client: client.client.de [12.2.2.3]
server: 62.145.135.125:2121 (shiiit.serbinn.com)
location: /MP3/ Music/
Any Idea about what could be wrong
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
I don't know much about System or passthru - but doesn't it have to be
something like:
passthru(ftpwho -v, &$return_var);
echo $return_var;
Because it is a reference Parameter und without the "&" the function can't
put the value into $return_var.

You can create your own function to build this for you.
I have always put the 50 states in a database and used that for all my
html and output requirements. You can google state abbreviations and use
that in a database or file.

I'm trying to get the 1st and last day of the current week. I ty to do
this:
$startofweek = date("Y-m-d",mktime (0,0,0,date("m")
,date("d")-date("w"),date("Y")));
$endofweek = date("Y-m-d",mktime (0,0,0,date("m")
,date("d",strtotime($startofweek))+6,date("Y")));
echo $startofweek." --- ".$endofweek;
$startofweek is correct, but if you run it for a week that has it's
beginning date in an other month (like this week), the $endofweek is in the
wrong month. What gives? If I change -date("w") to -1 or anything else
that stays within the current month, it works. What do you think? Is there
a better way to do this?

I have installed PHP numerous times using the same configuration and
this is the first time I have run into this issue.
solaris 2.8 on e3500
apache 1.3.27 ( --enable-module=so --prefix=/usr/local/apache)
php 4.3.2 ( --with-apxs
--with-mysql
--with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds
--enable-ftp
--with-mcrypt=/usr/local
--with-pear
--with-zlib )
mcrypt, freetds both installed fine
installation of PHP is fine
attempt to restart apache give:
Syntax error on line 205 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: ld.so.1:
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd: fatal: relocation error: file
/usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so: symbol ap_block_alarms: referenced
symbol not found
Google of this error returns some issues with zlib around the php 4.0 -
4.2 versions.
any thoughts would be extremely helpful.
