If you're running a cluster of machines I would include information
on the machine that is generating the uid.
$uid = uniqid(getmypid() . $r . '_MACHINE_NAME_');

We all know PHP is great and flexible but, I have this problem...
I had a function that took an object as parameter, someone went ahead
and changed that to accept object's id (integer), because there is no
"compilation", some of the code broke. Is there any way to alleviate
these kinds of problems that happen w/ scripting?
Thanks.

Hello !
I have a problem with security & found no satisfying solution yet :
at home, when an error occurs in my script I got something like this :
Warning: unlink() failed (No such file or directory) in c:\program
files\easyphp\www\page_perso_free\php_scripts\ultra_php.php on line 356
"texte.txt" n'est pas supprimé...
but my provider in the same case delivers this :
Warning: unlink() failed (No such file or directory) in ultra_php.php on
line 347
"texte.txt" n'est pas supprimé...
that's much better !!
My question is : How do they do that ??
My provider runs PHP 4.2.2
Thanx a lot !!
ps. to this :
<?php echo $_SERVER [SERVER_SOFTWARE] ?>
my provider returns :
Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux mod_fastcgi/2.2.12 mod_perl/1.26
pps. sorry if I have not sent this message the right way (and for my poor
english too)...

Hello
I've been googling for last couple of hours looking for an open source project

Check out SourceForge (http://sf.net/). There are thousands of open source
projects hosted there, and there is a help wanted section where project
managers can request aid.

You're probably right.
This is a wild guess, but I bet register_globals is disabled on your new host.
Check the archives for lots of good information about what this means, what you
need to do, etc. This question comes up weekly, so there should be plenty of
information.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
The first thing I checked was register_globals.....they are on.

Any other ideas/suggestions?

problem is.

The login script is looking in the $_POST var correct?

Hi,
thanks for replying.
No, its looking for get, and globals is on.
This is my code:

connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("$db");
$my_user=$_SESSION['my_user'];

/* the below lines take the string (nname) from between the [] of the id[]

foreach($id as $nname => $pppno)
{
$q="insert into mylist_slave
values('','$pppno','$nname','$type','$my_user',$my_ccno)";
if(!($rs = mysql_query($q)))

}
include("my.top.php");
print("Data has been successfully entered.");
include("my.bottom.php");
exit;

This was working fine....I just cant understand it.

Two different types of apache & php on the same mashine is possible. I
used to do that when I used both apache-2 & apache-1. The thing I did is
that I used different ports, one ot them default 80 and the other 8000
for example.

You may want to try using this class that does exactly what you need and
more. It lets you compose HTML messages, eventually with text version
alternative in the same body to prevent that it gets trapped in spam
filters, and lets you include any number of picture files either
embedded in the message HTML part or as attachments.

Just curious how this line isn't enough:
In PHP 4, these functions are only available if PHP was configured
with --with-vpopmail[=DIR].

I am trying to parse and xml document:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE PrequalResponse PUBLIC "-//New Edge Networks//DTD Pilot
Prequalification Response 2.3//EN"
"http://api.newedgenetworks.com/dtd/prequalresponse.dtd";>
<PrequalResponse>
<TransactionCode><Code>1005</Code><Message>Authentication failed: Invalid
user name or password</Message></TransactionCode>
</PrequalResponse>
I received 'XML error: junk after document element at line 5'. I found some
mention searching the web that the xml_parse() function does not know the
end of the stream:
The problem is that, in the general case, there's no way to
determine if a stream is *supposed* to contain multiple documents.
What is needed is some external way to determine the end of the input;
you can then feed the parser data buffers until the end-of-buffer
function returns true. You can do this by embedding the chunks of XML
into another protocol; this should not be difficult if you can
determine the size of each XML document in bytes before sending it, so
that each document can be preceeded by the byte-count. Otherwise,
you'll need a stream encoding that contains explicit end-of-file
markers.
I can set my passing xml document with just '<trythis>1</trythis>' and I get
the same error, except of course it says line 1 instead of line 5.
Any help on how I can be sure the function knows the end of ?

I have two independent websites, both with their own mySQL db's. I would
like to run a query in site A against site B's database. I am trying to
establish a connection using something like:
$conn = mysql_connect("abc.com:3306", $user, $pass);
A warning is returned to the browser :
Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' where my_web_host.net is the
name of the host server.
The db's name would be abc_com (This is not the actual name but the form is
consistent with the real db name).
If I try port 3307 I get "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'abc.com'(111),
so I assume that I am able to communicate with the msSQL server itself, but
is a permissions issue. I know that the username and password are correct.
Could it be that remote acccess to the db is disabled? Or am I omitting
something?
Your help is appreciated.

Yes, more than likely. You need permission within the grant tables for
Site A to connect to it from host Site B.

Correct.

Yes, the remote host doesn't allow connection from the host you are
conecting to. You'll need to add permissions on B's database for
host A.

It seems every time I post to the list now I keep getting bounced

Will he get unsubed automatically or do you have to initiate the

I know the url is good, cause I can go on to this domain and look at all my
files.
I guess I should explain a little further...
This server is a game server for Counter-Strike. I'm trying to read a file
on there called "mapcycle.txt".
This server is a secure server, so I would need to use a username and
password to get on. I
I've tried a bunch of different things, and now I find that it has a problem
connecting to secure servers.
DO you know of a different way to connect to a secure server anhd get
information other than the way I have been trying?
This is what I'm usuing right now:
<?php
$prefix = "ftp://";;
$username = "myUsername";
$password = "**********";
$url = "server.username.gameserver.com/";
$filename = "test.txt";
$result = readfile($prefix . $username . ":" . $password . "@" . $url .
$filename);
print ($result);
?>
// OUTPUT
0
if I use anythign other than the ftp:// for a prefix (like http. or https) I
get an error.
Cheers.

Have you tried downloading the file to your server and then read it from
there? I do this at least 15 times a day with several different sites and
I rarely have any problems.

I wouldn't use the term 'secure', rather password protected. A
plain text username and password is far from being secure.

Hi there.
I got a question from someone why the following (from the manual) will not
bring the desired output:
<?php
/* if I open the following txt file and in explorer*/
$text = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.";
$newtext = wordwrap($text, 20);
echo "$newtext\n";
/*my output is the following
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
*/
/*this should however have the following output according to the php manual
The quick brown fox
jumped over the
lazy dog.
*/
?>
Is this a php.ini setting?

Yes the documentation is a little misleading. I'm in the process of

Hi, i'm trying to set up an email form on my website. When I originally ran

I've read a bunch of FAQ's but they all seem to insist that I set up my own
mail server using sendmail. All I need to do is send however, and I would
prefer to do that through the network mail servers.
It looks like sendmail sends out to 0.0.0.0 looking for an smtp server, but
on the bio.ucalgary.ca domain that I am on, there is no mail server.
Getting to the point (pardon my deranged yabbering...), all I need to do is
send messages through mailhost.ucalgary.ca from my server
groningen.bio.ucalgary.ca under OS X.2.

Hi,
Ok, have half solved why my scripts all of a sudden stopped working.
This is how my scripts are setup:
There is a form(login.php) where the user puts in his user/pass, then this
is authenticated(auth.php) by the database and a few other sessions are
created (email,cust_number) and also username,password sessions are created.
Then i am using a header("Location....") to send it to details.php,
details.php will check and make sure that the following sessions have been
created username,password,email,cust_number, if any are not valid it will
kick ther person back to login.php...this was working before but not now.
I went to my forms source and checked where it was sending my submitted form
and found a hidden text box there with this data:
<input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID"
value="46081aa70da693f5edeecc069ed8a627" />
so i took that "PHPSESSID" and its value and added it to my
header("Location....") like so:
header("Location:details.php?PHPSESSID=46081aa70da693f5edeecc069ed8a627")
and every damn thing is working again...
can ANYBODY please tell me what the @#%# is that PHPSESSID, how it got into
my login page and how do i work with it?
because now I have manually put it in my file, do i need to always put it?
how do i get it as a variable and finally how can i take it out of my
computer and jump on it for causing me 5 hours of pain and suffering.any
ways of killing it slowly too is appreciated.
Even if you cant answer the first questions the last two will do, the
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@#%@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]@# PHPSESSID....
Thanks in advance,
-Ryan

You have cookies disabled and session.use_trans_sid is enabled in
php.ini. So the session module parses your html output and adds
PHPSESSID to all internal links, forms and everything else that is
needed. However it does not add session id to Location header, it is
your responsibility. Use header('Location: details.php?'.SID); SID is a
magic constant that contains '&'.session_name().'='.session_id() (thus
you need ? after details.php).
PHPSESSID is here so session module knows which session file to use. If
you look into your /tmp (or whatever is set up) directory, a file named
sess_46081aa70da693f5edeecc069ed8a627 will be sitting there with all
session variables.

Hey,
Thanks for replying.
I know you can manipulate the php.ini file via htaccess or by putting some
instructions in the include file...is there any way to turn on cookies again
and turn off session.use_trans_sid so i can go back to the old way it was?
because I have a lot of header("location:....") statements in a lot of
files.
This just seems a giant PITA.

Your browser is not accepting the cookies... Or, your session module has
been told not to use cookies. To enable cookies for the session module, use:
php.ini:
session.use_cookies = 1
.htaccess:
php_value session.use_cookies 1
If the value is already 1 or ON, then it's your browser causing the
trouble.

Hey John,
I dont think its the browser because I have tried this with opera 6,opera 7,
IE and NN with the same results...
But when i checked the phpinfo() it says that cookies are enabled....Do you
think its worth it to search and replace each Location header with .SID?
Thanks,

Personally, I would do a search-and-replace for header() and replace it with
your own custom header() function.
Then you would only have to change one location.

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to pass some info into Flash. this worked fine with another
funciton call instead of Players();
But for some reason it will only pass the first name into flash..that's it.
however, when I check it just in a browser, it works fine.
I'm not sure why this one won't specifically work.
this is what I have.
// Includes etc...
// Create new Class
$server = new Rcon();
// Connect & Retrieve Info
if($server->Connect($config_server_ip, $config_server_port,
$config_server_password)) {
$player_results = $server->Players();
$server->Disconnect();
}
// Output to Flash
$player_info = Array();
for ($i=1; $i<=count($player_results); $i++) {
$player_info[($i-1)] = implode(",", $player_results[$i]);
}
$player_info2 = implode("|", $player_info);
print ($player_info2);
This works to browser, but not to Flash. it really doesn't make sense.
Any help?
Cheers.

A few comments...
This session ID doesn't have to be generated from any user data. It can be a
completely random and unique string that you generate for any user who arrives
at your site without an active session. Even though it is probably very
difficult to reverse or guess a valid ID from your method above, the extra risk
isn't necessary.
Also, the IP address isn't a very good piece of data to use, because it is not
necessarily consistent. So, while it might make things harder for the bad guys
(to spoof the good guy's IP), it could also can make things hard for the good
guys (they are AOL users, lose their modem connection, etc.).
Thanks for everyone's responses. I was thinking the IP would be usable
for tracking users, and a lot of people have pointed out that's not the
case. So, I'll probably go with passing it in the URL.
Thanks again,
