Sounds like you've identified your problem. I have never installed a module
but you can check out http://www.apache.org/ for some help installing
modules on the Apache server. I believe it involves compiling the server,
for Windows platforms I believe you need Visual C++ 6.0.
If that is to technically demanding you can checkout several pre-packaged
distributions of Apache, PHP, MySQL, Perl and the like, looking for one
where PHP is installed as a Mod (don't personally know of any). For a
fairly complete list of packages check out;
http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Software_and_Servers/Installation_Kits/
Sooner, or later, you will probably reach a point where it will become more
expedient for you to write your own authentication, which is what most
application developers do. This has the advantage of allowing you to set up
your application security independent of your server or database security.
hope this helps,

Is this why it is not working?
If so, how does one install PHP as a "module"?
Please advise.

You want "r" instead of "w+". I'd suggest reading the Filesystem

'w+' - Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the beginning
of the file and truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not
exist, attempt to create it.
Change it to "r" since you are only reading. Also check to make sure your
pathing is correct.

Hi,
I just installed PHP via PHPTriad...I have a couple of simple questions I hope you can
answer....
1)How do i know if this is running a module or cgi version?
I own 3 dot coms which are not being hosted...too expensive :-(( no job..:-((((((
2)How can i host a test site on this? (I am on win2k pro)
when i run ipconfig /all from the command prompt this is what i get:
blah blah
blah blah
blah blah
ipaddress...............193.150.***.** (stars are to mask the real ip...I know there
are evil genus's on this list) ;-)
default gateway.......193.150.***.* (ditto)
DHCP server........... blah
DNS servers............blah
blah
kindly reply,

<?php phpinfo();?>
Look at the output in the top part.
You'll see CGI or ISAPI or ASAPI or whatever.
There's also a built-in function to detect it inside a PHP script if you
need it... Forget the name, but it's in the manual. http://php.net/
>I own 3 dot coms which are not being hosted...too expensive :-(( no job..:-((((((
>2)How can i host a test site on this? (I am on win2k pro)
Host them as in make them publicly available?...
You'll need somebody to do the DNS for you for starters, unless you want to
start running, errr, whatever Windoze uses instead of BIND, and that's going
to be a real pain...
A lot of the freebie DNS guys like http://register.com will "forward" your
DNS for you to a static IP, or you can get it cheap through places like
http://dyndns.org with a dynamic IP. You have to install a little client
that runs and detects your IP change when you re-boot (or whatever) back to
dyndns so they know where you (your IP) moved to...
I gotta say, though, that with hosts running around $20.00 a month or less
(http://budgetweb.com), I don't understand how you can have domain names
that are "too expensive" to run that you'd want to throw on your home
computer...
You *probably* are violating the terms of service of your ISP for the home
network connection to run a web-server, and if you get any serious traffic
at all, you'll be cut off mercilessly.
Not that you can't do it, but you have to make sure there's not enough
bandwidth for you to pop up on their radar as a problem, or you can't even
surf any more cuz they've cut you off.

Ok, I recently recompiled PHP with GD and exif support.
Now, I wanted to test exif_thumbnail() so created an jpeg image
which had an embedded thumbnail. I used the exif_thumbnail()
example at the php.net website, but it returns errors.
The first error I get is an incorrect parameter count when I use
exif_thumbnail($file, $x, $y, $type);
I stripped off the height, width and file_type paremeters and that
gets rid of that error.
But no matter what I do, this function returns false telling me that
there is no thumbnail to be retrieved from the image.
Can anyone provide me with a working example of thumbnail extraction
using exif_thumbnail()? I've tried many different things, with
absolutely no luck.
I tried using imagecreatefromjpeg() but that tells me theres no such
function.
Yours truly,
Hrd

That means you forgot the --with-jpeg-dir when you did the --with-gd or the
--with-gd never kicked in properly or...
Basically, you didn't configure right, so go back to that stage.

I'm using Apache 2.0.40 with PHP 4.2.2 from Red Hat Linux 8.0 beta 3
(null). php_value statements in my httpd.conf work fine, but php_value
is not recognized, giving the error message below:
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 336 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'php_flag', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module
not included in the server configuration
I've tried enabling both AllowOverride Options and AllowOverride All to
no avail.
If I turn on /server-info support in Apache I see:
Module Name: sapi_apache2.c
Content handlers: none
Configuration Phase Participation: Create Directory Config, Merge
Directory Configs
Request Phase Participation: Post-Read Request
Module Directives:
php_value - PHP Value Modifier
php_admin_value - PHP Value Modifier
Current Configuration:
which doesn't show php_flag as supported.
Does anyone have any clues how this could happen? Is Red Hat's PHP
package messed up or am I missing some config thing somewhere?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are sessions in PHP somehow affected by changes in Unix users? I know that
the only recent changes to the server have been the addition of a few Unix
users and the changing of some older passwords, but now sessions do not work
within PHP.
Is a session related to a web (default?) user?

Session data is stored in a temp directory which must be writable by the web
(default) user defined in httpd.conf
Search httpd.conf for "User" and search php.ini for "session" (look for the
directory setting).
If you've made it impossible for PHP to write the session data in a
directory, it's got nowhere to store it.

The user that the webserver is running as (nobody/apache/whatever) must have
write access to the directory defined by "session.save_path" in php.ini.

Dear forum:
I'm trying to do several basic things with an HTML form and PHP. So far,
I've gotten the form to write to a MySQL database, send email and echo the
fields after the form is submitted.
Next I'd just like to confirm that the fields are not blank and send a
custom error message. But I think I'm confused about where to place the
code.
I've purchased four books on PHP and I've been working for four days and I'm
so stuck. Am I missing some online source for information? I've been to
PHP.net and have not found answers.
The two files below are the HTML and PHP files that are working. The third
file is one of my attempts to check for a blank field and write a custom
error message.

Where you currently have "if ($send != "no"){ ... }" you could tack on
something like:
else{
echo $name_err;
echo $email_err;
echo $lastname_err;
}
Once that works, as an improvement, it might make more sense to do like
this:
$message = '';
if ($name == ''){
$message .= "Name must be provided.<BR>\n";
}
if ($email == ''){
$message .= "Email must be provided.<BR>\n";
}
if ($lastname == ''){
$message .= "Last name must be provided.<BR>\n";
}
if (!$message){
# Send the email.
}
else{
echo "<FONT COLOR=FF0000>$message</FONT>\n";
}
By using $message and .= to "tack on" the messages, you can avoid having so
many variables running around confusing you and get the job done just as
well.

I have a 5-step (5 page) process in which users must answer various questions. Each
page passes along the data to the next page, at the same time capturing the data from
the previous page and passing that along too.
To capture all the data submitted previously, I have the following code:
$a = "?";
$url = "";
while(list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
$url .= "$a$key=" . htmlspecialchars(addslashes($value));
$a = "&";
}
while(list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS))
{
$url .= "$a$key=" . htmlspecialchars(addslashes($value));
$a = "&";
}
Each page then submits it's own form to "nextpage.php<? $url ?>"; I'm trying to
simply pass along everything that has already been submitted, via GET or POST.
The problem is that I noticed if the character '#' is part of a value for a GET
variable, it breaks the whole string. Everything after the '#' is lost.
How can I get around this? Is this something I must simply check for and strip out?
What other characters must I worry about? As you can see, I'm already putting
everything through htmlspecialchars() and addslashes().
Thanks

These should be http://php.net/URLEncode, not
htmlspecialchars(addslashes(..))

zlib, and jpeg-6b to work with PHP 4.0.6 running on Solaris 7. I am not to
yet to point of configuring this with PHP. I can't get 'make' to run on gd
1.8.4:
gdft.c:36: freetype/freetype.h: No such file or directory
gdft.c:37: freetype/ftglyph.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [gdft.o] Error 1
I modified gdft.c to use absolute paths:
/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h and
/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/ftglyph.h but this resulted in further
errors as well.
Anybody experience this or have a suggestion for a resolution?
Thanks.

GD1 uses Freetype 1 and you appear to have Freetype2. Grab GD2 instead.

OK. I ran 'make install' for GD 2.0.1 and that seemed to go smoothly.

No, the best way is to put all recipients in Bcc: headers and send a
single message to your local mailer program. Using mail() under
Linux/Unix will be enough.

yes, and yes, providing you want to send personalised emails, which costs
huge performance problems and a lkoad on the server... possibly leads to
timeouts of the script, timeouts of the browser, etc etc. Not good!
the real easy solution is to send ONE email with everyone in the Bcc field.
Quick and simple. Won't piss off your host, won't load the server, etc.

I have this set of code. and what I want to know how to do is how to
filter one or more vars in the flat file? For example filter all the
people that work "at night"
I'm assuming it has to be in this part of the code:
for($i = 0; $i < count($arr_lines); $i++)
{
$arr_data = explode($delim, $arr_lines[$i]);
print $arr_data[0].' '.$arr_data[1].' '.$arr_data[2].'<BR>';
}
But where do I add an IF statement if that is what is needed?
<?php
/*assigned vars*/
$delim = "\t";
$file_path = "newfile.dat";
$name = "matt";
$works = "at night";
$programs = "php";
/*exporting data to flat file*/
$file = fopen($file_path, "a");
fwrite($file, $name.$delim);
fwrite($file, $works.$delim);
fwrite($file, $programs);
fwrite($file, "\n");
fclose($file);
$file = fopen($file_path,"r");
$page = fread($file, 4950);
$arr_lines = explode("\n", $page);
for($i = 0; $i < count($arr_lines); $i++)
{
$arr_data = explode($delim, $arr_lines[$i]);
print $arr_data[0].' '.$arr_data[1].' '.$arr_data[2].'<BR>';
}
fclose($file);
?>
TIA!

Honestly, you'd be best off moving the data into a database (MySQL or
otherwise)...
At this point, you're starting to do a lot of work that's already been done
by somebody else...

Do <?php phpinfo();?> on the page where $_FILES isn't working and see what's
in there that mentions 'userfile', if anything.

My Theory:
In order for array_push to be reasonably efficient, the array is passed by
reference.
If it were passed by value, PHP would have to make a COPY of the array, and
the array could be VERY large...
$x ? $a : $b has to turn into a "temporary" variable, since you don't really
provide a storage place for it.
That temporary variable can't be turned into a reference.
At any rate, smushing the ? and the array_push all into one line is just
being obtuse.
Spell out what you're doing with an extra line of code and another variable:
$victim = $x ? $a : $b;
array_push($victim, 'value');

The include file and PHP are irrelevant here -- You'd have the same problem
with this directory structure and pure HTML.
You've buried faq.php and are trying to use 'images/topbar_01.gif' when you
really want '/images/topbar_01.gif' While the "rule" of not using absolute
pathnames is Good, it's not Absolute. :-)
Another possiblity (under Un*x) would be to symlink your images directory
under your faq directory:
cd ~/faq
ln -s ../images images
Or maybe you don't want faq.php buried down inside faq anyway... I dunno
what else you have, but it seems like you're getting a little silly burying
faq.php inside '/faq/' when you're probably not going to have a whole lot of
files inside '/faq/' If you start getting that many FAQs, you should throw
them in a database and have faq.php be a single file that reads FAQs out of
the database on demand. :-)

I know a lot has been discussed in this topic, but I still don't find any
solution.
What I want to do is send a lot of mails triggered from a web page using
php.
I've found diferent solutions but all of them has some problem:
1) using set_time_limit() to allow the script to run longer while sending
e-mails, my prefered solution but I won't let someone waiting a lot of time
with a loading browser because they'll stop, reload, and at best, just not
like it. So, I would like to launch a background process changing the
set_time_limit() in that process (if needed), the problem is that I wasn't
able to run a background process in PHP, were you ? I know I could use at
(atd) to run a background process but in my shared server, there's no at
available.
2) Queuing instead of sending. I've seen that some people improved the
'sending' (well, it's not sending anymore) by queuin only. Then some people
tell me that sendmails always queue and I'm a bit confused. Does sendmail
queue or sends mails ? if it queue, why is it send imediatly if the queue
is procesed once an hour or so ? I don't care if my mails are procesed once
an hour for this mails, I don't need them to be sent imediatly. I can't
change sendmail configuration (since it's a shared server) and I wouldn't
want to because I have other 'mail cases' when I want to send the mails
imediatly. I can't change the way PHP calls sendmail (again, it's a shared
server) but I'm using PHPMailer and I can change the way PHPMailer uses
sendmail, will `/usr/sbin/sendmail -O DeliveryMode=q` queue the mails I'm
sending ?
3) Someone told me to do it using cron, do you have any idea of how to do it
with cron ?
Thanks.

If you trigger it from a web page, eventually, no matter what you do, you
will hit the wall, because browsers may time out -- not just the PHP script.
The ONLY option is to Bcc: everyone in your email, rather than send
personalise emails. This way you only send ONE email, not 1000's.
I've spent AGES researching this, and am convinced that Bcc is the only way
to get the performance you want.
There are many hacks work-arounds like:
- have the webpage only do batches of 50 emails, and refresh with META
refresh every 1 minute... come back in a few hours, and they'll all be sent.
The other option to consider is to write a PHP script which runs FROM the
command line. Then possibly your webpage can trigger the command line
script, AND refresh to a "thanks" page, leaving the other command line
script still running.
Of course you need PHP as a command line executable for this.
I really suggest speaking to your host. It's quite possible THEY have the
solution you want. It's also quite possible that they HATE bulk mailing via
their web page servers, and will actually impose restrictions.
They may also have a dedicated mailing server (as my ISP does) which can
handle this sorta stuff.

The issue of queing is only there IF you wish to send personalised emails.
Queing is NOT an issue for sending an email with a Bcc of 50,000 people.
> 3) Someone told me to do it using cron, do you have any idea of how to do it
> with cron ?
Cron is a way of executing a process at a certain time (eg 3am daily). If
you were able to write a command-line PHP script to send you email (queries
a DB or text file to get the message body, then grabs the address', then
send the email(s)), you could set it to run at a time which the server is
less busy (eg 4am).
You could also use it to partially-send to the list in batches of 100
people, at 5 minute intervals or something.
The real answer to your question is:
If you are doing this on a shared host, use Bcc and keep it simple... your
host will probably see the huge system burden you are placing, and impose
restrictions on you.
If you want a dedicated mailing list with personalised emails, you should
look at a dedicated mailing list system on your host, or another host, which
tackles the issue properly. There's sparklist.com, ezmlm, etc etc.
Your host may be interesting in setting up a program to do this...

Experthost.com allows payment by cheque, but the service is withheld until
the cheque clears (understandable).

how to drop tables from a database from the command line
i have 6 tables in there, and need to be able to flush all the data out, (of

Trevor ...
Do you want to drop the tables, or simply delete the data in them and retain
the table structure?
To delete data ...
USE databasename;
DELETE * FROM tablename;
To drop tables ...
DROP TABLE [IF EXISTS] tablename1 [, tablename2,...] [RESTRICT |
CASCADE]
If you drop a table, then need to store data in it, you will have to
re-create it.

if you just wanna delete everything from the tables you can do
DELETE FROM table_name;
for each table. or you can do DROP table_name; for each one but then you
have to re-create each table that you drop with CREATe TABLE ( stuff here
);
Only use DROP table_name; if you know the structure of each table. If you
need the table names do SHOW TABLES; and if you need their structure use
DESCRIBE table_name;

When I use foreach on a uninitialized array I get the following warning:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
/www/htdocs/jc/cart/add_item.php on line 21
I would expect foreach to treat an unitialized variable as an empty
array and hence do nothing. Is this the expected behaviour?
Thanks,
Jc

It's always been my experience. I just get in a habit of doing this:
if(is_array($myvar)) foreach($myvar as $key => $value ) {
...
}

In a prior post, Rasmus Lerdorf said in response to implementing digest
authentication:
> we do not have digest auth support in PHP yet.
Is it not possible to manually implement digest authentication in PHP? Or
does PHP preprocess the "Authorization" request header such that the
information is not retrievable from within the script? I am guessing that
there are no issues in sending the "WWW-Authenticate" and
"Authentication-Info" response headers using the header() function.
Is digest just currently out of the question when using PHP or is it that I
just have to manually implement it?

Hi folks,
I'm trying to send an XML request to a server to get its response
back... I can get it to work on the command line (with passthru) but
not with libcurl. I'm using libcurl 7.9.2 which may actually be
different from the curl on the command line... the latter came with
OS X, the former came from entropy.ch with the PHP package I
installed. Of course my host is using 7.9.4 and the script doesn't
work there either.
I've tried it with both GET and POST... here are some setup variables.
$testrequest = "$server?API=Rate&XML=<RateRequest USERID=\"$userid\"
PASSWORD=\"$password\"><Package
ID=\"0\"><Service>EXPRESS</Service><ZipOrigination>20770</ZipOrigination><ZipDestination>20852</ZipDestination><Pounds>10</Pounds><Ounces>0</Ounces><Container>None</Container><Size>REGULAR</Size><Machinable></Machinable></Package></RateRequest>";
$post['API']="Rate\n";
$post['XML']= "'<RateRequest USERID=\"$userid\"
PASSWORD=\"$password\"><Package
ID=\"0\"><Service>EXPRESS</Service><ZipOrigination>20770</ZipOrigination><ZipDestination>20852</ZipDestination><Pounds>10</Pounds><Ounces>0</Ounces><Container>None</Container><Size>REGULAR</Size><Machinable></Machinable></Package></RateRequest>'\n";
# (I've tried it with the 's and without, with the \n's and without)
$d1 = "API=Rate";
$d2 = "XML='<RateRequest USERID=\"$userid\"
PASSWORD=\"$password\"><Package
ID=\"0\"><Service>EXPRESS</Service><ZipOrigination>20770</ZipOrigination><ZipDestination>20852</ZipDestination><Pounds>10</Pounds><Ounces>0</Ounces><Container>None</Container><Size>REGULAR</Size><Machinable></Machinable></Package></RateRequest>'";
$ch = curl_init();
# doesn't work, returns Error 400
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $testrequest);
# also doesn't work, returns BAD REQUEST
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $server);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$post);
# what DOES work
passthru("curl -d " . $d1 . " -d " . $d2 . " $server");
Any ideas?

I'm trying to get an apostrophe (and a dash, as well) to be
included in a preg_match expression, but I don't know how to escape the
characters.
<?php
if (preg_match("^[!a-zA-Z-/\\\'/]^", $_POST['ssname'])) die
("<h5>Numbers and special characters not allowed in 'Surname'<br><br>
Click 'Back' on your browser to re-enter
information.</h5>");
?>
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Tia,
