Hi guys I'm a little confused on how sessions work. ok I use session_start(); to get
started I know that but then the manual starts to confuse me with all of the garbled
text about passing the SID. How do I tell if it was compiled with transparent SID
passing?
Also I'm not sure how to use cookies and this is just a small application for private
use so I don't mind passing it using urls for this iteration of the project.
Also I'm not quite sure how to auctually perserve the variables across pages.
Thanks,
Bryan

make a <? phpinfo() ?> file -- it will explain what PHP was compiled with up
the top-ish.

By default, sessions will work with cookies (at least every install i've
seen)... you don't need to do anything special to get it working. *IF* you
are worried about people without cookies not being able to maintain the
session, *THEN* passing the SID around in URLs would be the next step. You
can do this manually (a lot of work), or...
*IF* enable_trans_sid() was compiled (or if you can comile with it), this is
the best option, because everything happens transparently... IF the user
allows cookies, PHP will use them... if not, PHP will re-write your URLs
with the SID in them.
Easy.
> Also I'm not quite sure how to auctually perserve the variables across pages.
Assuming PHP >= 4.1.1 with register globals OFF, and cookies ALLOWED by your
browser OR trans_sid compiled:
page 1:
<?
// maintain or start session
session_start();
// assign a few variables to it
$_SESSION['favcolor'] = "#FFCC99";
$_SESSION['name'] = "Justin";
?>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<A HREF="page2.php">click here to see page 2</a>
</BODY>
</HTML>
page 2:
<?
// maintain or start session
session_start();
?>
<HTML>
<BODY bgcolor="<?=$_SESSION['favcolor']?>">
Hi <?=$_SESSION['name']?>, hopefully this session carried forward.<BR>
<A HREF="page3.php">click here to see it carried to page 3</a>
</BODY>
</HTML>
page 3:
<?
// maintain or start session
session_start();
?>
<HTML>
<BODY bgcolor="<?=$_SESSION['favcolor']?>">
Hi <?=$_SESSION['name']?>, hopefully this session carried forward to
the third page.
</BODY>
</HTML>
Good luck,

I read in here once or twice that it's worth worrying about at the 1000's
mark, not 100's.
However, hashing them into years (/2002/), or categories (/sports/), or
alphabetically (/a/, /b/, /c/), or by author might prove beneficial froma
content management point of view. Then logical end choice you make will
depend on your site, and how people use it.
For the amount of articles you're talking about, you'd definitely only need
one level of hashing.

Why not store them in a database with one php script selecting them?

I'm storing the article text and details in a database, but, all the assets
(these articles have lots of photos) need to be organized into folders. So
logically I want to create a folder for each article using the article ID
number. But I want to be sure if I have within the Article folder about 700
other folders that contain all the assets for every article that that won't
slow down the server. This site will not be visited by millions necessarily,
but, I still want to be sure I'm setting up the file system as efficiently
as possible.

This depends on the filesystem used, but I would recomend you to
organized them by year. Now you
have few hundred articles, two or three years later it might be 1000,
and reorganize it then would be
much harder then to create the directories now.

Hi olinux
I wonder how to do that :)
i mean converting static pages to database driven web site.
looking for your comments & sugessions / code

Depending on the size and current format, you may want

I recently converted our companies static website
(11,000 pages - we're a magazine publisher) to a mysql
database. Tough work, but not as gruelling as it
sounds. I wrote a script to parse thru the static html
files and grab the title article and date. Also made
use of the naming conventions to construct the date. A
couple days work to get something that worked
accurately for the different article formats but well
worth it.
Putting together index page and archives pages is
pretty much cake work. A simple query will grab todays
news, the past week, a month from 2000 or whatever.
You can email me if you'd like some code pieces.

It's the most elegant solution, but not the easiest

Hello list,
I am writing a php script to fetch a html page and verify its content which
generated by a remote cgi program. The special cgi program generates endless
content to the http client. Therefore, I need to figure out a solution for
curl to fetch part of the html source code(In fact, I only need the first 100
lines of the html source). I tried CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, but when curl_exec()
timeouts, it will not return part of the html source it already
fetched--actually it returns nothing at all.
Is there any way to work around this?
#!/usr/bin/php4 -q
<?php
$url = "http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/large_output.cgi";;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 3);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;

I'm devastated to hear that extract($_POST) or extract($_GET) are security
risks because that's the method I went with for a bunch of scripts I'm
writing now. But I don't understand how this...
$admin = $_POST['admin'];
... is more secure? Isn't the security risk that they can hijack your var
data? If so, I don't see how the above would make it possible to know
whether the data in $_POST isn't coming from your own scripts. Especially
for forms where it's not really efficient to validate every possibility for
a field, such as a Country field.
But maybe I'm missing the point, and if so I'd like to understand so I can
make my scripts more secure when passing data. It seems like I will need to
basically re-define every form field and GET variable at the beginning of
each script literally.

$_GET is definately insecure because the user can insert values into the URL line,
which may expose data which should be secure (depending upon how you've written your
scripts).
$_POST is more secure, if you add additional protective coding. An excellent example
was provided a couple days ago. In the following, assume $admin must be set to
"trustme" and is set from a form:
INSECURE method 1:
if( ISSET($admin) )
{
print $sensitive_data;
}
INSECURE method 2:
if( $admin=="trustme" )
{
print $sensitive data;
}
MORE SECURE method:
$admin = "";
extract($_POST);
if( $admin == "trustme" )
{
print $sensitive_data;
}
The insecure methods can be fooled by the user guessing/inserting a variable named
$admin, set to "trustme" in the URL.
The more secure method ensures it MUST come from a form. Be advised: the user can
create his own form with $admin as a variable and submit it to your PHP script.
Therefore, additional precautions and authentication are warranted.

And what should these precautions be? If a malicious user can submit
his own form and you are looking for a POST variable, how can you
ensure that $admin came from your form and not that user's? And if that
same user can hijack a session, that makes it so you have even less
precautions you can take.
I'm honestly interested in this. I've read the security section of the manual,
read similar threads and each time, I've come to the conclusion that you
can really only ever be so secure. And that all of the tests, checks,
balances you may implement are all for naught where a really determined
malicious user is concerned.

A determined hacker can get through. Period.
Additional safeguards might include username/password authentication against a
database.
You can only make it more difficult for a hacker to break-in. You can never have
absolute certainty he won't.

The problem is when a cracker uses form variables in an attempt to set the
values of "flag" variables kept only in the session, for example, $isAdmin.
As far as the form variables *you* put in your form, it doesn't matter
whether the user submits your form or a form they made themselves. Those
form variables are just data you are trying to collect.
With register_globals on, PHP takes *all* variables (GET, POST, COOKIE)
received from the client and assigns them to global variables. So if the
user posts a value for $isAdmin, she can give herself admin privileges.
The key is to retrieve *only* the form variables *you* put in the form from
the the $_POST array. So don't write a loop and grab *everything* from that
array.

Ciao a tutti, ho bisogno di qualche dritta:
Voglio utilizzare la trasformazione xslt ma mi servirebbe un modello xslt di
esempio per vedere se il mio è errato
Allego il mio di test:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title><xsl:value-of select="catalogo/data"/></title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:value-of select="catalogo"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Quando faccio la trasformazione il risultato è uguale al xsl e non alla
fusione col documento xml.
Allego anche la prima parte per chiarezza:
<?php
$doc = domxml_new_doc("1.0");
$catalogo = $doc->add_root('catalogo');
$data = $catalogo->new_child('data','oggi');
$xml_string=$doc->dump_mem(true);
$xsl_file='style.xsl';
$xsl_parames="";
XSLTrasform($xml_string,$xsl_file,$xsl_params);
function XSLTrasform(&$xml_string,$xsl_file,&$xsl_params){
$xsl_string=join("",file($xsl_file));
$arg_buffer=array("/xml" =>$xml_string,"/xslt"=>$xsl_string);
$xp=xslt_create() or die ("Non posso creare il processo");
$cwd='file://'.dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])."/";
xslt_set_base($xp,$cwd);
if ($result=xslt_process($xp,"arg:/xml","arg:/xslt",null,$arg_buffer)){
echo $result;
}else{
echo ("Errore nell'elaborazione");
};
xslt_free($xp);
return;
};
?>

For me an article on how to print from PHP (under Linux) to my HP laserjet. I
mean real paper and ink. It seems everytime I find something about printing
it only talks about "printing" to the screen (or at very best to file). In

support cookies?Can someone send me an example of good login code.
ps Im a beginner , so go easy on me

Hi Shaun,

Try and set one on page A, and then read it on page B. If it's not there,
the browser doesn't support cookies.

There's an extremely remote possibility a session can be hijacked.

My boss wants me to add a number of items to the cart based on a user
form input. At the moment my add to cart function checks if anything is
in it and then increments one item (using this code). I can supply the
full function if required but just this part would get me away I think.
if($cart[$new])
$cart[$new]++;
Instead of incrementing by one how do I increment by a variable which
would be the form input?

Heya folks, not sure if this is more of a php question or an html question,
though I'm right now leaning towards a 50% php, 50% html, so I think this is
on topic still.
I have a form filled with checkboxes, each representing one of the 50
states. A user can check as many states as they want, then post the data -
The checkbox form would look *something* like:
<td><input type="checkbox" name="state" value="1"> Alabama</td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="state" value="2"> Alaska</td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="state" value="3"> Arizona</td>
Instead of assigning a unique name to each checkbox, I know there's *some*
way to make it so the same name has multiple values, as I've seen it done
before (somehow). When posting the data though, the script is only
recognizing the box checked with the highest value
foreach ($_POST as $value) {
echo "$value<br/>\n";
}
^^^ Only shows the highest value
Any ideas on how to do this without having to check for
isset($_POST['california']), isset($_POST['alabama']) etc. etc.?

In your .htaccess:
php_flag register_globals on
or
php_flag register_globals off

Thx for your reply It is working.
I also found from php.net that it's possible to set register_globals to
"off" on a site-by-site basis via Apache, thus overriding the "global"
setting of register_globals in php.ini:
In httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mysite
php_value register_globals 0 (or 1 for "on")
</VirtualHost>
That way, sites with old code can have register globals turned on, but
for all new developments it will be disabled.

Yup, or even in directories:
<Directory "/var/www/html/mysite/foo">
php_value register_globals 0
</Directory>
Which might be handy if you're updating scripts on a live site.

I prefer it Off in php.ini and On in the .htaccess file.
php_flag register_globals On

Well, you're doing *something* wrong, 'cos it works fine here :-)
You have got an "AccessFileName .htaccess" directive, right?

I have a single page site I'm working on that displays the contents of your
current session. Users can clear the contents by clicking a link that
triggers a $PHP_SELF?clear=1 - Before any headers are sent out, the script
checks for $_GET['clear'], and if it's set, it does a session_destroy();.
For some reason though, the contents of the session are STILL displayed
until you do a refresh on the page. However, for some bizarre reason, if I
call session_start() at the very beginning, call session_destroy(); and then
session_start() AGAIN after the destroy, it seems to work like it's supposed
to. Is this a bug, or is it working properly? Also - I'm sure there's a
better method than this - Any suggestions on what that might be? If there
are no better methods well... Are there any downsides to what I'm doing?
Below is a "sample" version of the script, to give you an idea of what I
mean incase my ramblings above didn't make sense. Thanks!.
<?php
session_start(); // Start the session
if (isset($_GET['clear'])) {
session_destroy(); // If they chose to clear the session, then we do
so
}
session_start(); // Start it again; it works for whatever
reason

called

This has to do with how php works with session internaly. $_SESSION is
set after the fist call to
session_start(), session_destroy() destroys only data that are already
stored, the second call to
session_start() tries to retrieve these data, but there are none. Use
$_SESSION=array() before
session_destroy() as the documentation sugests

You need to use $_POST["numele"] instead of $numele - that or edit your
php.ini file.

The permissions (r----x--t) is coming from your mode setting in your mkdir()
function AND from the system setting umask -- see manual -> umask() and check
out user comments as well.

You can't.
The user:group comes from the user running the webserver, which in your case
is nobody:daemon.
Only root can the the user:group ownership of files and directories. So unless
your webserver is running as root you cannot use chown()/chgrp().

Actualy, you can use chgrp(), but apache must be a member of the group

Thank you for your response. First of all, I'm not sure if you are
familiar, but I am working on a project called eNetwizard Content
Management Server. More is available here:
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/enetwizard/
Content is stored as XML, but not in the usual manner. eNetwizard is
able to manage an unlimited number of domains and websites from a
central web environment. It does this because it acts as a web server
and determines what content to deliver based on the URL string. Content
is stored in a matrix folder like this:
/matrix
/matrix/net
/matrix/net/enetwizard
/matrix/net/enetwizard/www
In this manner, all content for www.enetwizard.net
<http://www.enetwizard.net/> is stored in the
/matrix/net/enetwizard/www folder. However, it is even more complicated
than that. Content is compiled by scope. /matrix is considered the
global scope. /matrix/net/enetwizard is in the domain scope.
/matrix/net/enetwizard/www is in the website scope. And the files in
that directory are in the page scope. Each of these directories can
have a file (_.rsw) which is a part of the eNetwizard XML that is
compiled. It must be fully-conformant XML and this is determined by the
class I wrote to validate it. My understanding is that PHP does not
have the ability to use DTD's - am I wrong about this?
Anyway, the reason for the scope is to build complex templates and
pages. For example, maybe you want a copyright at the bottom of every
page that is on the enetwizard.net domain - you simply put it in the
<TAIL> section of the domain scope .RSW file. When eNetwizard is
called, it compiles it all, validates it, and then converts it to HTML
(or anything else you want it to really).
Here's an example:
www.natural-law.net/default.exml (this file is the result of compiling
and validating the .RSW files)
www.natural-law.net/default.ehtml (this file is the result of
converting it)
Now, to get to what I'm trying to get at: I understand that XML used
the ampersands as reserved words. This is a good thing in most
instances, because it will be nice to define these entities, but how do
I do that with the limitations of the PHP parser functions? And what is
the way around this? I believe that the way I have things set up now, I
would like it to simply treat them as CDATA, because these can be dealt
with in the $Server class later on (when doing the conversions to HTML,
etc.)
Also, in order to validate the DTD (that I could make if PHP can work
with it) - it would have to wait till after the compilation of the .RSW
files - the .RSW files are also parsed as XML and first put into an
associative array - it organizes them by their main grouping and scope
-- <STYLE>, <META>, <HEAD>, <BODY>, and <TAIL> -- it works really
nicely, as those two links will show...
If you'd like to see the code for these two classes, let me know, and
I'll send them to you, and you can see how I have this set up. It may
help to have a more interactive tour of how all of this works, but I
haven't gotten that far in the project yet. I just finished the last of
the core (this XML stuff) and am about to start creating the wizards
(management panels) for the project, then the documentation, then the
release...
Thanks very much if you can give me an idea on how to tackle this unique
issue.

Basically, unless you've coded something to deal with them ampersands
are the ultimate reserved word in XML. The easiest way to deal with them
is to scrub them to &nbsp; before they go through the XML parser.
The "right" way to deal with them is to define as a valid entity
in your DTD and make sure that all XML strings have a DTD when they are
fed through the parser.

Hi People,
I am running PHP 4.1.2 on a Cobalt Raq4 server. I'm pretty new to Linux and
can't understand why the server has come preinstalled with 2 diffrent
versions of PHP. When I run phpinfo() from scripts on the site through my
browser it says PHP is installed as an Apache module, but when I run it from
the command line it still has the same version number but says its a CGI
install.
I'm trying to use the ftp_connect() function in a script that is run from
the command line, ie. the CGI version and everytime I run it it says 'Call
to undefined function ftp_connect()' yet when I run it through the browser
on my site which is running the same version of PHP just the Apache module
it works fine.
Does anyone know what causes this strange behaviour or what I can do to get
my ftp_connect() function working from the command line on a Raq4 server?
Thanks for any help.

Hey all,
I've been fighting this all night, I need a bit of help. I have a string like.
#21-935 Item Description: $35.95
Where the part # could be 10-2034 a combination of 2 and 3 or 4 digits, and the price
could be a combination of 1,2,3 . 2 digits. I want to chop that string into Part # /
Description / Price.
I'd appreciate any help, I know this is probably real simple :) Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
William Glenn

Try:
<?
$item = '#21-935 Item Description: $35.95';
$all = explode( ' ', $item );
$part_nr = substr( array_shift( $all ), 1 );
$rest = explode( '$', implode( ' ', $all ) );
$description = substr( trim( $rest[0] ), 0, -1 );
$price = $rest[1];
?>
I bet there is a much nicer (and maybe faster way), but this is by far the
easiest (it doesn't cost one night) ;-))
One hundred thousand of these iterations took about 2 seconds...

You can take advantage of the way PHP parses passed values...
If you have two (or more) form inputs with the same name, the last value
over-writes the previous one(s). ie if your script is called like
myscript.php?n=0&n=1
then you get
$_GET["n"] == 1
Sure, you say, but how can I make use of that?
Well, if the last value weren't sent, you would still have the previous
value, ie $_GET["n"] == 0
Try this:
<input type=hidden name=n value=0> // this value is *always* sent
<input type=checkbox name=n value=1> // this value is only sent if
checked!
NOTE: the order is important! The conditional input must come *after*
the default!

Obviously you don't know how many contestants you will have, so you can't
base it on that.
What about varying the probability of a win by the time since the last
page-view?
You could adjust this by hourly activity (to decrease the advantage for
people
hitting it at 2am) and by (time remaining / prizes remaining) to ensure
coming
out near your number-of-prizes target.
Does it *have* to be three prizes per day, or is that *on average*? I
prefer
the latter; it makes things more tractable.

Hi,
I am having a major problem getting set_time_limit() to work at all
with PHP 4.2.3 running as a CGI program under IIS for Windows 2000 (I
originally posted this message to php-win, but am hoping someone here
can shed some light on this). I have a form that accepts large files
for upload, with the following lines at the top of the form action
script:
<?php
// let this script take as long as it needs to complete its work
// and ignore if user hits stops button in his browser
set_time_limit(0);
ignore_user_abort(true);
// include site-wide configs and other include files
require_once('../includes/site.php');
...
If the file upload takes longer than 30 seconds, PHP bombs out with the
following error:
"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in
D:\InetPub\test.php on line 3"
I've also tried adding:
ini_set('max_execution_time', 60000);
before the set_time_limit() function, but to no avail. PHP is not
running in safe mode. Does anyone have any ideas why this is not
working as expected? I'm sure it's something obvious, but I don't know
what it is.
Thanks in advance,
-f

Is there anyway to have php convert a database from mySQL to Access via a
webpage? I have a couple of people here who use Access to do mail merging
things with word and it would make my life a ton easier if I did not have to
convert the db's everytime they want the info. If anyone has any thoughts on
how to go about this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
