I've encountered the same "problem". It would be nice if there was an
option to keep the buffered output, even after script termination.

I haven't searched through the archives to refresh my memory, but it's

I have pointed out some more aspects of this issue:
Error messages and normal output are passed to the browser as expected.
(my first examlpe and the following)
<?php
class foo
{
public function __construct()
{
ob_start();
}
public function __destruct()
{
echo "Destructor";
}
}
$f = new foo();
// outputs "Destructor"
?>
still unclear is what happens when ob_start() is called in the
destructor. but it seems that this has no serious effect.
<?php
class foo
{
public function __construct()
{
ob_start();
}
public function __destruct()
{
ob_start();
echo "Destructor";
}
}
$f = new foo();
// no output - output is buffered
?>
it seems that the destructor is called when output buffering is still
deactivated but the connection to the client is active.
i consider it a bit strange that output buffering is deactivated when
there is still the possibility of passing something to the browser.

Does the box that you're running php on have a dynamic address? Do you
have reverse DNS?
You can actually have a static IP and still be listed as dynamic in the
databases. That's the problem I have. My secondary MX, which is also my
workstation and thus test-bed, is on a privately leased static IP, but alot
of databases lists it as "dial-up pool" which is incorrect, and thus they
don't accept mail from my server. Luckily sofar all the mail that's been
refused because of this have been my server's auto-generated complaints to
spamhouses.

Usually if mail is not accepted by hotmail you'll get a very long and
polite error message about it after some time, usually almost immediately
... (for some reason they can deliver error messages immediately, but
regular mail takes hours to days)...
Have you checked the junk folder??? ... atleast I assume you've tested with
your own hotmail account...

Hi there,
I've written a short PHP tutorial and am looking for input - does it
cover enough ground? Is it hard to use as a reference? Does it get
too technical?
Anyway, if you have any ideas as to how it can be improved, I'd be
happy to hear from you. The URL is http://www.hudzilla.org/php and my
email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks for your time!

Good job, Scotty!

Well done. It looks like you put a lot of work into it. One suggestion I
have is to leverage your medium - why not allow user comments on each page
or even make the entire thing a wiki?
I read a few pages and had a few comments to make, and this would be
convenient if I could type them in as I think of them. I think this is one
of the greatest things about the PHP manual. You could also try to point
people toward other resources - for some topics, there are already
numerous resources on the Web that are very good. These would be nice to
include at the end of a particular topic, because getting multiple
perspectives is always best for the reader.
Hope that helps.

Aside from what others have pointed out, your absolute path is not a file
path at all. This will cause some problems later on in the script when you
try to upload an image file to a URL instead of a file path.

There are several methods, but my favorite is to use a Location header
which also changes the response status code. This method is transparent to
the history mechanism, so users can still click the Back button.
header('Location: http://example.org/');
Another method is to use the Refresh header, which also allows you to set
a timer for the redirect. One disadvantage is that it can prevent a user
from using the Back button.
header('Refresh: 0; url=http://example.org/');
There are also client-side methods of redirecting the user, but this is a
PHP list. :-)
Hope that helps.

I use Smarty. The thing about Smarty is it can be as simple or as
complex as you want it. I personally feel you could do exactly as you
describe with it -- just tell your designers the bare minimum of what
you will allow in a template.
You might look into Savant as well -- but the idea behind Savant is that
a template is simply another PHP page, only you do code related to
display logic only. I don't believe it does caching, either (though I'm
unsure of that point).
PEAR also has a number of templating systems, and I'd be surprised if
they don't do caching; look under the HTTP or HTML categories on PEAR
for some possibilities.

Hi folks. I've recently moved my site to a shared host, and this is the
first time I've had to set up my site in a really restrictive
environment, and I'm running into problems getting smarty installed.
Using the basic example set up from the Smarty docs, when I run the file
I get the following error:
Warning: main(Smarty.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in /home/virtual/site357/fst/var/www/html/smarty.php on line 4
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'Smarty.class.php'
(include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php:/home/pablogosse/smarty/')
in /home/virtual/site357/fst/var/www/html/smarty.php on line 4
Now, as you can see by the value of my include path, I've got the path
to smarty added, but it's still not finding the file even though
/home/pablogosse/smarty/Smarty.class.php does indeed exist.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? As I said up until now I've
been lucky enough to always have access to dedicated servers where
setting this up was never a problem, but I know there's something I'm
missing in understanding why this isn't working.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers and TIA.

You are including from file that is located in
/home/virtual/site357/fst/var/www/html/, and the smarty class is in
/home/pablogosse/smarty/? The paths seems strange, what if you try
include_path = /home/virtual/site357/+ whatever is the relative path to
Smarty.class.php from smarty.php

I tried that and got the same error.
I'm trying to place the smarty directories outside my webroot to
minimize security risks, however given my experiences thus far, I don't
really see that being possible.
Would a viable solution perhaps to be to include the smarty directories
in the webroot such that my scripts can access them, but to protect the
directories via .htaccess to prevent direct execution of files from said
directories, since my scripts will be including them but are themselves
executed from valid locations?
Cheers and TIA,

It should not matter, unless open_basedir is in effect, but that would

[/snip]
It appears I've found the problem.
I used passthru(ls -l [dirname],$ret) to start reading from /home all
the way up through the following:
/home/
/home/virtual/
/home/virtual/site357/
/home/virtual/site357/fst/
and all returned complete directory listings and a return code of 0.
Now, when I read through
/home/virtual/site357/fst/var/
/home/virtual/site357/fst/var/www/
/home/virtual/site357/fst/var/www/html/
I see the files that I would see when I SSH in and ls -l the following
paths:
/var/
/var/www/
/var/www/html/
HOWEVER, when I attempt the passthru call on
/home/virtual/site357/fst/home/
I get no results back, and the return code is 1. So it appears scripts
running under the apache user cannot access that folder or anything
beneath it
Any ideas?
Cheers and TIA.

Just the relative path from smarty.php,
../../../home/pablogosse/smarty/Smarty.class.php
And I get a permission denied error. So it appears for sure that I
can't read anything inside my home directory, or outside the webroot it
would seem.
Any ideas?

Then put it in webroot. You should protect template and compiled
template directories using .htaccess. Smarty.class.php does not really
matter, it only defines a class.

If the script is running on the server then yes you're way off base. Remember
the ftp_*() functions operate relative to where the script is running.
What exactly is it you're trying to do?

Hmm, you can run an ftp server on your local machine and use php script
on the server to retrieve the files. http server will work just as well.
Is this what you want?

If the script is running on the server then yes you're way off base.
Remember
the ftp_*() functions operate relative to where the script is running.
What exactly is it you're trying to do?

well, i suspect i am at a dead end. here is the layout of things.
we want to put up an internet kiosk at certain thoroughbred auctions to
allow people to send ecards as well as contact associates. we have a web cam
on the kiosk and a partner came up with the idea of letting them send photos
of themselves as well. the problem is i cannot find a way to use the form
type FILE without giving the user access to everything on the kiosk
computer. try as i might i cannot get around that "browse" button. so i
thought i would try the ftp functions which i am totally unfamiliar with. i
do truly appreciate the time you and others took to look into this.
