Thank you Richard for your effort, but I had the jist of all of this.  What 
I don't get is the points I asked about.  Can you answer the questions I

Thanks for the code sample - a little more complex than I've ever used.  Can 
you explain something for me?

The first "unset" line - what is it doing?  If it is removing the item from 
the $process array, then how can you then reference the value ($v) in the 
very next line?  I must be missing something.

Also - I don't see the need to be stripping slashes from the $k 
(keys/indices?) elements.  What am I missing there?

As I said - the lines are a something new to me and I may not be 
interpreting what is going on here.  Basically I see that you are processing 
all of the arrays (GET,POST, etc) at once, doing each one in turn.  For each 
one, you then get down to the values returned to the script as a $k/$v pair 
which you then check to see if it is in itself an array.(although you ask if 
$v is an array, while I would have thought you'd ask if $k was an array). 
Once you get to the basest element you remove the slashes.

Thanks again - still waiting on my host company to get back to me - they've 
escalated the problem of not being able to turn the quotes off.  Hmmm

You could refer them to:

Indicate that magic quotes have deprecated, and ask them to turn them off.

But they will say "no", because of all the other users on the server 
that you use.


In the end, you will be left with stripping the slashes on your own:


 $v) {

You have to set it in your main php.ini, the one shown in phpinfo() or 
set it in a .htaccess in the web dir if permitted.  You can't just copy

The core php.ini settings are explains here

for a particular extension, (like mysql), you will find an explanation
for it in the php.net/ETENSION_NAME (like php.net/mysql)

As I said in another postiing :
Sure -- I did look at those - my feeling is that they are high on providing 
the facts but low on providing meaning, context and interpretation.

Mathematically it is easy to understand x+y=z but if you do not know or cannot 
know the value attributable to x or y or z the formula is *** useless. In 
my view one needs to distinquish between documentation (which records what 
something does in technical terms) and the qualities of a manual which 
explains which might refer to the documentation as it seeks to explain how 
and why one should choose to apply the options defined in the documentation.

The php.net references  the general documentation stanfard is superb but I 
found it to be somewhat lacking in its ability to meet the expectations of a 
manual. However, unless I missed a salient link, I did not find the brief 
section on installation and configuration very useful.

Incidentally the book by Luke Welling & Laura Thomson, PHP and MySQL web 
Development seemed to promisong in fulfilling the manual role for programming 
PHP. I was however disappointed because but  the general standard throughout 
the book does not seem to have been carried through to the Appendix on 
installation and configuration. It does not go into detail in regard to 
configuration options.

I have written to the authors in the hope they might give consider devoting a 
full chapter to that topic in their next edition.

Do you happen to have any other suggestions?

You don't say whether you restarted apache; this is required to read and

Re: [PHP] Re: php.ini

[Mailit, LLC]

This is a similar question, but under Linux.
No matter how I change the upload_max_filesize in /etc/php.ini, the file 
uploading script refuses to accept files larger than 512 kB.
If I run the phpinfo() function, the new value for upload_max_size (20M) 
appears there, but I get the message  "File contains no data".
I repeated the test on another server running Linux, and I succeded in 
uploading a 6 MB file, by changing the value of upload_max_filesize.
My server must have some fundamental setting that overrides the php.ini 
settings. Can anyone clarify the matter?
Thanks. Mario.

[PHP] Re: php.ini sendmail settings (was "Re: [PHP] speed of mail() ... ")

[David T-G]

Hi again, everyone --

I have a feeling that our problem is a lousy php.ini configuration.  For
both module and CLI php we're using /usr/local/lib/php.ini, so I look in
there and I see

  [mail function]
  ; For Win32 only.
  SMTP = localhost

  ; For Win32 only.
  sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  ; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
  ;sendmail_path =

and get a little worried.  But in the phpinfo() output I have

  ...
  sendmail_from  [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  sendmail_path  /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
  ...

(for both web and CLI) which, aside from the silly sendmail_from value,
looks right after all.

Do our admins have us set up to make an SMTP connection -- back to
ourselves, even -- for every mail?  If not, how on earth do we have a
value for sendmail_path (which, in fact, points to an existing link to
qmail's sendmail, just as it should).

If I DO need to fix it, what are the *correct* values for sendmail_from
and SMTP on this *NIX box; should I just comment them out?  And then I
imagine that apache needs a restart to see the new php.ini values, no?


Even more confused,
:-D

[PHP] Re: php.ini question

[Tim Burden]

does phpinfo(32) show the $action variable anywhere? If so just use the
global array variable it shows up under. Personally I'd just use the
$_GET['action'] alias.

You can safely turn register_globals on if you're the only guy that runs
scripts on that server and your scripts will never have to run on a server
where it is off. If not you should do it for yourself in .htaccess or with
ini_set(). Just be sure you are careful to initialize all internal variables
that don't come directly from user input.

The script has to be executable by the web server user, i.e. "nobody" or
"wwwrun" or the like. See "ps auxw|grep httpd" to find out how this
special user is named on your system. If your program is not owned by
the web server user, you can either use "chown" (as root) to change the
owner of the script, or "chmod" to make it "world"-executable.

[PHP] Re: PHP.ini help on Linux

[Nicole]

Thank you. Yes, I did chmod my scripts. chmod 754 and tried 755 too. Don't
see why it should be x on the world, though. I would think if the script is
being called by its owner, then x on the owner and group should be enough,
no?

I'm even using !#/usr/bin/php ... but then it doesn't even seem to be using
it.

I'll go through the man pages again, too.

The "find" and "locate" commands will be useful. I will try those. Thanks!
Although since you mentioned the local configuration via apache's .htaccess,
maybe that is what I need. I still can't figure out how to turn safe mode
off for the local column.

Thanks,

Nicole

No. But the values found in the global php.ini can be changed in
Apache's httpd.conf and in .htaccess files. See
. 

You can have a .htaccess file in every directory to pass additional
options to Apache (and mod_php). A .htaccess is used for the directory
where it resides and for all subdirectories.

Try "locate .htaccess" or "find / -name .htaccess".

If you're the only person on that machine, there's no point in using
safe mode.

Almost all programs have man pages, so you can use "man chmod" to find
out about "chmod". And then there's the Linux Documentation Project
, which has lots of howtos.

[PHP] Re: php.ini - changes aren't taking?

[Scott Fletcher]

Hi Fella!

I found the problem and fixed it.  I only have one php.ini which is
found under 'c:\winnt\'.  What happen was that a couple of months ago,
someone in my company without my knowledge had made a backup copy of php.ini
and put it into hte D:\ drive.  So, IIS for some reason didn't go to
c:\winnt\ directory and jumped from c: drive to d: drive and use the backup
php.ini.  I fixed the problem by renaming hte file, from php.ini to
php.ini_safe.  This then cause the IIS to revert back to the php.ini in
c:\winnt.

Hope this knowledge will help everyone one day.  The weird thing is that
when I use phpinfo().  It didnt show any file path.  It just said the
filepath is 'php.ini', no 'c:\winnt\php.ini' at all.  It just said 'php.ini'
before I renamed the file.  After renaming the file, it still say 'php.ini'
as if nothing had changed.

Take care,
 Scott

P.S. Rad Craig, try to find it there is duplicate php.ini somewhere and
renamed it to something like 'php.ini_safe'.

Yep!  I changed the working email address on my php.ini to a different email
address, then stopped, started the IIS and test send myself an email.  It
doesn't go to the new email address and it stuck to the old email address.
It is a IIS problem, not php.ini problem because it's not updating itself.

I have a problem similar to urs but with engine only. I used to set 
engine=off in php.ini and in httpd.conf as per vhost I add the following 
php_flag engine on. Since I upgraded to Apache 2.0.36 and php 4.2.1 it 
breaks the apache and complains that there is type mistake. I changed it 
from php_flag to php_value but no help at all.
My workaround was to comment the lines in conf.d/php.conf that handle the 
php files through the php module and to add them per vhost and it 
worked. Also I tested the old AddType and it is working too.

[PHP] Re: Php.ini

[jtjohnston]

Once upon a time on another (Windows) server I could place a php.ini in a
directory and it would choose that one first before it defaulted to
c:\windows\php.ini. It doesn't work on my Apache server today, but who
knows?

Look at chapter 3 of the PHP manual, it covers specifying PHP configuration
in your http.conf or .htaccess files, you can do this per virtual host, per
directory or however else you want to do it.

In Win98 at least it should be in C:\Windows.
php.ini could also be run out of the directory where the *.php is running.

Yes, the built-in default will be used if you have no php.ini file.  Or if
PHP can't find it.  The phpinfo() page will tell you where it is looking
for it to be.

I am positive.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
I have never touched the apache installation.  I am currently under the
impression that compiling
with --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/conf/php.ini has screwed up the
install.  That is unless someone has any other ideas?

My first question really is if the php install doesn't find the php.ini does
it use built in defaults?  That would help explain why my changes aren't
active.

I asked this because I noticed when I made changes to the session
configuration they were never realised in the pages I am running.

Is php.ini readable?

Any messages in your Apache error log?

Are you 100% sure you really killed Apache and restarted?...  I've had cases
where I managed to install the new Apache in a different location, and ended
up with two different sets of httpd's running.  Quite disconcerting.
