True, but if I remember right, the hit will end up in your error_log not
in your access_log.

Ah. Bugger.
But since this would require messing with your Apache config
you could adjust that anyway surely?

I don't want to mess with the whole site, just a file or 10, or one

That's the whole point of this thread.. that's what I want to avoid. I
want to have a URI that is easier to remember, and less ugly, and also
provides a sense of security (even if it is only a faint sense) through
obscurity.

I don't know... not that I know of, but maybe. The one time I did it I
wasn't really interested in the apache logs (the logging all happened in
the db).
I think your best bet is to use news.php, or configure apache to force
"news" to be interpreted by PHP, or use mod_rewrite to rewrite the urls to
some other form.

You could always name the file "news.mike" and then tell apache that .mike
is a PHP extension :)

It's actually alot easier that you think!
for the news file, just create a file called 'news' (minus ' of course! ;)
in your http root, then create (or append) a .htaccess with the following
lines:
<Files news>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
That tells Apache to parse news via PHP. As what you've passed (ie
/2002/01/02/keyword) is not a query string, you won't find it in
$_SERVER{'QUERY_STRING'}. Instead, its put into $_SERVER{'PATH_INFO'}. It's
then up to you to do what you want with it! :)
Works for me! :)
Hope that helps! :)

You will need to use the following techniques:
* In Apache you will need to enable mod_rewrite module
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html
this allows you to "remap" URI to any script, in your case you'd probably
want and request to "/news" to be mapped to for example /news.php etc.
* In your script you will need to parse the URI via the "REQUEST_URI" server
variable.
Basically what you're doing in your apache is saying: "Pass all requests to
the URI to this instead" note that this will not affect the URL display in
your browser.
This is similar technique to making search engines index your site. I've
written replies to this subject a while back check it out here:
(Note that apparently my code in this post has some problem so..)

The .htaccess/httpd.conf solution is:
<Location /news>
ForceType application/X-httpd-php
</Location>
Now the file news in your DocumentRoot directory will be executed as a
php program, and anything that appears as directory and file names
after it will appear in $PATH_INFO. (I think that's where it appears
anyway. Check phpinfo() to be sure.)
It works very well.

Through suggestions of people here is the code I produced for a bookmark:
javascript:void(srch=prompt('Function Name?',''));if(srch)
{self.location.href='http://download.php.net/search.php?pattern=' +srch+
'&show=quickref';};
Of course that should all go on one line. That is a good hack for now,
but I still think it would be great to have the PHP site's search bar
kind of in my browser, and it would launch a new window or whatever
(with the drop-down to select function ref/online manual/etc)

It's also worth noting here that typing a keyword (or maybe it's just
function names?) in place of a directory after www.php.net does the same
thing. ie, 'www.php.net/extract' takes you to the extract page in the
manual.

I am in the process of producing a script which will allow me to produce
printer-friendly versions of my dynamically produced web pages.
For the most part it is working but take a look here...
www.ski-info-online.com/skiResort-print1.php?id=Alpbach
If you click the "Print Review" button it all seems to work fine, except
1) it's slow and...
2) do you see those numbers c3 fd6 and 52 59c (may take a few seconds)?
Where on Earth did they come from? They are not in the html (as you would
also see them on the main review page). They also appear to be the cause of
the
script running slow.
Here is my php code.

It's reasonably fast in Internet Explorer, and didn't complete in Netscape 4.7.
The characters I saw were similar to yours, except that I saw fd0 (the
floppy!?) instead of fd6.
Could they be artifacts in the data stream?
Does the initial page,
www.ski-info-online.com/skiResort-print1.php?id=Alpbach fetch data from a
database? from a flat file?
What happens if you fetch the default length of 1k?

Oh, btw, the data is extracted from a MySQL database.
How do you see that affecting the problem?

Thanks Miles,
I think you are right regarding them being artifacts in the data stream. I
have been searching the Net for similar problems but there is surprisingly
little around for fsockopen(), even php.net's manul page doesn't have any
notes contributed by any users.
I will certainly try the the default of 1K and see what I get.
Thanks again,

It's reasonably fast in Internet Explorer, and didn't complete in Netscape
4.7.
The characters I saw were similar to yours, except that I saw fd0 (the
floppy!?) instead of fd6.
Could they be artifacts in the data stream?
Does the initial page,
www.ski-info-online.com/skiResort-print1.php?id=Alpbach fetch data from a
database? from a flat file?
What happens if you fetch the default length of 1k?

To all,
The following is a file upload question using PHP.
I am able to upload a file to my server with the following script. (see
below)
It's in two parts - the first is a html form and the second is the php
script which takes the variable $img1_name.
However, I'd like to check if, in fact, the file was uploaded to the server.
The only way I can check this is to copy and paste the pathname that I
upoloaded in the browser's window like:
c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/reservoirphoto.jpg
When I do that the photo does load - however it loads in a paint program I
use like PaintShopPro - not as a file within the browser.
The question is this...in the textbook I'm reading (Julie Meloni - PHP Fast
and Easy - page 174), it says that:
"(I can) use the File / Open Page / menu item in your web browser to
navigate through your filesystem and find the file you uploaded."
The screenshot in the book has the .jpg file photo *within* the browser
screen - not by itself in a paint program.
Can anybody assist me in this?
Thanking all in advance.

That's a browser/image type issue. If you're trying it with a JPEG image (as the
message title suggests) then it's a browser issue -- your browser doesn't handle
JPEG files due to local settings, and starts up the paint program instead. If
you're trying with some other image type (such as TIFF for instance) then this
is normal behaviour, because browsers don't generally understand other formats
than GIF, JPEG and maybe BMP and PNG, depending on the browser.
Since you seem to be using a JPEG image after all, you should check your
browser's file associations (I don't know what's the browser you're using) and
remove the association with the paint program for JPEG's.

I solved it using Javascript to get the referrer of the parent doc, and
pass it as a get request.

Buh. That's the problem. There's no assurance that in will be used from
a PHP script, so I can't do that. Mrrr.
Let me explain what I'm doing, and someone can pipe up if they have a
better idea.
I'm writing a tracking module for a shopping cart system, so that we can
track where people came to our site from, and correlate that information
with whether or not they ordered. Right now, I'm trying to do this with
a php script in an image tag, so that I can set the cookies I need.
However, I need to be able to get the referrer from the page that is
calling the image, and I can't assume it's php. Any advice?

Matthew, you're going to have to save it as a variable somewhere to be
able to retrieve it. If you have session management then you could just
register the variable and it would exist on the next page.

As near as I can tell, things *are* working, but I'll change it to return
the ''. What an odd thing to require - I guess it's because it is expecting
a string in the "true" case. I've noticed that for the most part, PHP allows
you to do things very easily, is very extensible, and yet, for something so
(relatively) new, it has a lot of well, ugly, "features" like this. I don't
mean to knock the whole project, as it's very cool, and I'm sure very hard
work to maintain - but DB access is pretty weird, and the calls vary across
DBs - I ended up coding a bit of my own thin layer to generically call DB
functions, and not have to worry about mysql_foo, pgsql_foo, etc. It seems
that it would be pretty easy to have that as part of the language.
It's rough edges and strange issues like that that just make me scratch my
head. Every single language I've worked with has them (what I call "isms" -
Java-isms, PowerBuilder-isms, C-isms - I can usually become productive with
the core of a language pretty quickly - usually inside of a week, as any
good programmer can, but the "isms" can be the part that take a few months
to get right - try telling any HR person/hiring manager that, and you won't
get far, though. :) They still want X years of Y, W years of Z, rather than
doing some simple aptitude type of testing, or going on recommendations,
nah, let's just scan resume for keywords and time periods...no wonder they
claimed they couldn't find people before the recession.), but PHP just
seems to have some really weird ones that you think would be easily
remedied.
That being said, doing session type stuff in PHP is still a ton easier and
more intuitive, IMHO, than mod_perl or some Java app servers. Also, since
it's a built-in, it's rare that from project to project it will vary. Even
when there are "best practices" for things like this in a
language/environment, I still seem to inherit code where people go skipping
down the bunny trail doing some weird and buggy stuff because they didn't
know what they were doing - when it's built in, that's less likely to
happen. The db layer I mentioned above would prevent just this sort of
thing - maybe this is already a planned feature?

I am trying to implement a user authentication/login system using PHP 4.x's
built in session functions. Upon a successful login, there is a
session_register('uid','uname','status'). On pages that require someone to
be an authenticated user I check against HTTP_SESSION_VARS['uid'] to make
sure it is not null, is greater then 0, and i also check the
HTTP_SESSION_VARS['uname'].
This seemed to be working until I tried to see what would happen if I fed
it a query string. I fed a "secure"
page ?action=edit&uid=3&uname=jon&status=true and my check still failed
me, but then when i went back to the same secure page without the bogus
query string, I was in fact authenticated as the user i forced through.
Is it possible that global vars even if not registered via
session_register() to end up the HTTP_SESSION_VARS array? I was under the
impression that the OLY variables and values that would be in this array
were those that were explicity registered via session_register().
Should i disable register_globals?

how did u check? with a if? u should use the session_is_registered function instead,
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-is-registered.php
if(!session_is_registered(\"user\")){
print \"invalid user\";
exit;
}
// your other code here
and yes, turning off register globals is a good idea :)

thanks, i know what u mean, but what if you have to upload bigger files?
is it possible that maybe the next php release will have a option to auto write the
uploading file to disk(if the file being uploaded is bigger than a certain size) while
uploading instead of slurping the entire file into ram.
just a suggestion for improvement. :)

what i want to do is, parsing the "uptime" command in suse, get the stats
for 1, 5 and 15 minute cpu utilisation, and draw an image.
just like the taskmanager in win windows 2000, xp, and nt.anybody did this
before?
should look like this:
/
| ____________ /
| / \ /
| ___/ \/
| /
|/______________________
uptime: 68days
parsing the uptime command, isnt a problem, but how to coordinate the 3
values in the image.
also i have the ability, to save all values in a mysql db.

I have been using the following function declaration syntax for ages with no
problems.
Main php file:
<?php
include "my-inc.php";
...
FuncExample(arg1,arg2);
...
?>
Include file:
<?php
...
FuncExample(arg1,arg2){
<Function Content>
}
...
<?php
I have just finished some work for a client, after full testing on both my
Unix and Win32 test servers I moved the site over to their hosting company
and I get the following problem.
All my functions that are declared in my Inc files are spitting back the
error:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function:..."
I have spoken with the hosting company, but they have considerable trouble
with 'backside' and 'elbow' recognition.
Are there any PHP.ini settings that affect this type of function
declaration?
Any help would be appreciated.

I think what you mean is sessions, but that can't really do what you want.
The best you can do is record on the database when the user last accessed a
page of the site and infer if they are currently logged in or not.
I would be interested to know how ASP does better than this in a response
driven environment. You could force a user to formally log off, but what if
they just close their browser, or their internet connection, or IE just
stops working on their PC (the most likely). This is also a problem with
inferring a current log in from the last hit by that user name.

Do we have application variable in PHP as in ASP?
I have a small database running with user name and password kept in
MySQL
database. Once user is login, how can I prevent the same user from
logging in again?

<http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php> everything you need is
here, in particular fgets.
What you'll need is something like ...
If ($fhandle = fopen("filename", "r"))
{ while ($fline = fgets($fhandle) && ++$count < $X)
{ echo($fline);
}
}
this is untested but should work

Subject: File opening, writting and location
I'm a newbie to PHP and the web.
I've been programming in VB for about 3 years and XBase for about
15.
I would like to place a bunch of text files in a directory and have
a PHP
script pick them up and place the top X lines in a center section of
a page
followed by a MORE link. It would do this for Y number of articles.
The
remainder it would title with the first x characters and place it on
the
right of the screen (like an archive)
I know that I can use a function similar to fopen in XBase to access
the
text files and extract the lines.
In Xbase, I would traverse the directory, extract the lines, place
the X
characters in a string followed by a "More".
If anyone can steer me in the right direction, I would appreciate
it. I
don't get how you place things on the page in a given area. I'm
using
Dreamweaver 4 templates.
Anyone have any suggestions.....
Thanks in advance...
Jerry

I have a website where I use sessions. After a user has logged of, the logon
screen appears again. The username field is filled with the value from a
cookie.
What happens:
For example: username = "Peter"
In the situation that I log of (and the logon page appears), the username
field gets the value from the cookie and the string "; PHPSESSID". ("Peter;
PHPSESSID")
When I close the browser window and open a new browser window the value of
the username is correct ("Peter"). The string "; PHPSESSID" is not in the
cookie. What is the reason that this string (the variable name for session
id as set in my php.ini) appears in this field?
In other words, why is the session_id variable name displayed in a field
that is filled by a cookie. I also tried to end the session, but the only
thing I can find is destroy_session and that only destroys everything that
is within that session, but it does not kill the session itsselfs
How do I solve this problem.
Regards,
Gilbert

When I call function stored in another file, included with require
command, variable $REMOTE_ADDR is empty in this function. How is that
possible?? Thanks for help.

Hi,
I'm writing a page which will allow user's to register for an online service. They
register a username and password.
I want the password to contain at least one lowercase letter, at least one upper case
letter, and at least one digit. So
passW0rd would be valid, but password would not.
Whats the most compact way to do this? substr? ereg?

I think regular expressions is the best way because working with strings
looks like this:
if ($strtolower($pass)!=$pass) && ($strtoupper($pass)!=$pass) {
echo "OK!";
} else {
echo "WRONG!";
}
but using reg expr it's even more shorter

I don't think one can do that. There is NO need for that. You can write
header.php file and
include it in the beginning of each PHP page where you need db connection
and footer.php
which you can include at the bottom of each page with XXXXX_close() function
in it.

I think it is imposimble in web applications at all, because there is no
persistent connection between db server
and "web server + PHP" service. You can try for example mysql_pconnect()
function (or it's analog for your db engine)
but still I don't think it is possible ;(((
Only applications can make this for you NOT PHP and Web ;(((

I'm trying to upload files using php to a server on the lan.
Apache/1.3.22, PHP 4.0.6, MySQL 3.23.40
My problem is that file uploads are slow, a <50KB file takes around 5
minutes.
Thats kilobytes. in 5 minutes. Larger files just timeout.
I've set the max file sizes in apache and php configs, although my files are
nowhere near the maximum yet.
does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
thanks

With all the wonderful String functions in PHP, I haven't been able to find
a str_compress(). Is there such an animal? Let's say I have a string like
this:
$myString = First_word <30 spaces> second_word <10 spaces> etc...
I need to do one of two things. Either compress the multiple spaces to one
and then use explode to break the string on a single space, or can someone
explain another way to break $myString into only those pieces that contain
usable text w/o spaces?
Thanks!

Hi everybody,
On my dev machine I have php 4.1. I have now to upload a huge script half
ported to 4.1 from 4.06 on a host where 4.04pl1 runs.
By 'half-ported' I mean almost every file I changed global $form_var or
function($form_var) to $_POST['form_var'].
But it will not work since it's not a var that existed ($_POST, $_SESSION,
etc...) and different scope.
I have a main file where maybe I can do $_POST = $HTTP_POST_VARS. But I
can't scape from the scope problem.
Anyway to make $_POST/$_SESSION/etc global on all functions on all files?
