Hi can anyone help me, I am getting this error when I try
to start session:
Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output
started at /var/www/kulchitski/btl/btl.php:2) in
/var/www/kulchitski/btl/_talkroom_edit.php on line 39
I didn't start session before, in fact I never use session here
except this step. Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks,

That would mean that you have some type of output to the browser, i.e. blank
line, or some text, before you are calling your session/cookie

1) Read the list and the archive. This comes up at least once per day,
including on days when I know I saw you post to the list.
2) It means that you generated output prior to a session_register or
session_start call. Make sure you don't print anything and don't have any
space outside of <?php tags prior to those calls.
3) Read the list and the archive. This comes up at least once per day,

OK, hope you don't mind I follow up a question, and it will be up to you to answer or
not, this is very general and important to me.
My whole project main template is FILE.PHP, the content is changed based on the values
sent via QUERY_STRING. SO:
Below is the approximate outline: (basically the content is loaded from smaller
scripts, but main does language switching, loading menu in appropriate language and so
on.
FILE.PHP
_about.php
_one.php
_two.php
So my question is, is it better to use separate .PHP file for every part of the page
and load template design requirements (like 'header' and 'footer') via REQUIRE() so
there's no conflict with sessions for instance? Because the code is already BIG:
http://www.kulchitski.com/btl/source.php
So anyway, for who are experienced the question goes, is it better to use separate
file for every script? Or do like I do use one main and then include('content'php')
based on the value passed in the string.
With my current session problem I don't thnk I can overcome the problem with current
design structure, I need to use different file for ADMIN because the template is
already formed before it included the file with the script that tries to create a
session.
Anyway, this certainly makes it clearer - thank you guys.

I don't know if this helps, but you may find life becomes simpler if you
keep all your session variables in one array. Then you can
session_register that at the very top of your code and cover all bases at
once.

Just to clarify, that is a Windows-specific bug. Non-Windows works just

That is an excellent example.
And just for the hell of it, Ill leave the lines that aren't in the
function as is, just for the hell of it.
Thanks.

GS> <?php

?>>
I can do one better:
... ?>Finished<?php ...
Seriously, I think he's right to think parsing 3000 lines with *every*
call will be less than ideal. He should use include() conditionally
to grab only the necessary code, but only to an extent. Then you
start adding your server's filesystem performance into the equation,
but if the server's decent it should have those cached or something -
It should at least be able to pull them faster than PHP could
interpret them.
Short answer: less to interpret = less time

Is there any PHP function that works like ColdFusion's location tag?
After a certain execution, I wish to leave the current PHP page entirely and go to
another page. Is this possible?
I'm scouring the help stuff and am still digging for answers.
Thanks.

That's a HTTP Header, so you want to use the ... Header() command.
A Location header is what does the redirection.
<?php Header("Location: http://url.of.site/path/to/file.html";); ?>

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I saw this as well in the mailing list archives, but
everyone is saying you cannot output ANYTHING before calling header.
Unfortunately, I'm calling this at the end of a process, so it won't work.
It tells me I've already sent out header information.
I've basically created a single PHP page with a form. When the form is
submitted, it submits to itself. It checks if the form is submitted, and
then goes to mail the contents to someone. After mailing, I want to go to a
Thank You page. I want to get away from this PHP page, because I don't want
a person refreshing the page and causing the PHP page to submit again.
Thus, is there something else I can do? Or am I just not seeing this?
Thanks,
Stephen

Hi Mr. Lerdorf,
I look forward to you upcoming O'Reilly PHP book. =)
Yes, a META tag refresh or Javascript control seems to be the only way left.
Strange that URL redirection is so unusual to implement in PHP compared to
ASP or Coldfusion (unless they do something klunky under the hood).
Anyway, I also noticed that when the manual says you cannot output ANYTHING,
I found out that if I close out all my spaces in the PHP page by tightening
the php container tags, I will not output anything first. I forgot that
even whitespace would be considered a web page and would generate http
headers (since the PHP processor probably translates whitespace as
echo/print statements).
Thanks.

Or, alter your page's structure so that it writes its output into a
buffer, and echo/print it at the end of the page. That way you can
do the redirect at any point it's needed within the page logic.

They do. There is no magic here. If you want output on a page and also do
a redirect, the only way to do it is with a javascript meta-refresh (well,
you can do some tricks with frames as well, but I lump those tricks under
Javascript redirects). I don't care what ASP of Cold Fusion tells you, if
they allow you to send some data for the page and then redirect, then they
are either doing a Javascript meta-refresh or simply tossing your data and
doing a Location redirect.
If you have no output, then you can use a Location redirect. What ASP and
Cond Fusion might do is buffer your output and simply throw it away if you
then at some point do a Location redirect. That seems kind of silly to me
though. It seems like a mistake to me to just chuck away output data like
that. You can do that with PHP as well by turning on output buffering.
You can send all sorts of output after a Location redirect, but there will
be no browser around to see it because it has already received the
Location redirect and is off viewing the other page.

Yup, a space is as valid a character as any other.

PS. One of the things with PHP is that we have never gone out of our way
to hide the actual mechanics of HTTP very much from the users. I think it
is important for people to actually understand what is going on. That's
why we don't have a redirect() function but instead tell you to send an
HTTP header called Location. Because that is what needs to happen under
the covers.
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Seems like you're getting confused about output verses php code. Let's say
you have a file called "form.php"...
it submits to itself, checking the submitted data. if the form input is
good, you want to do "stuff", then redirect them to a thanks page. if it
isn't, you want to send them back to try again.
Easy.
form.php
---
<?
if(!isset($action))
{
?>
<HTML>
<?
if($problem)
{
echo "there was a problem with your entry, please try again";
}
?>
<!-- form here -->
</HTML>
<?
}
else
{
if($action == "validate")
{
//
// check form input
//
if($input == "valid")
{
// insert stuff into your data base, or do whatever
header("Location: form.php?action=thanks");
// no output to screen
}
else
{
header("Location: form.php?problem=1");
// they're sent back to the form,
// and told there was a problem
// no output to screen
}
}
elseif($action == "thanks")
{
?>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FONT>Thanks!</FONT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
<?
}
}
?>
---
So, obviously it needs massaging, and none of the code is tested, but it's
the same way I do my forms.
It'd be better if you told them where they went wrong on the form, and there
are lots of ways to streamline the code and make it more modular, but this
should be enough to give you an idea about how you can use the header(), and
at what point you've sent "output" to the browser.

Can someone help me with this. I'm trying to get ?id= set to the id number
of the name in the database. I can get ?id="THE NAME" but I can't get it
to pick up the id number. here is the code i"m trying:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
printf("<a href=\"%s?id=%s\">%s</a><br>\n", $PHP_SELF,
$row["ID"], $row["Name"], $row["Name"]);
}
If I change the first $row["ID"] to $row["Name"] then ?id="Name here" but
then when I try to extract the information from the database using:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Profiles WHERE id=$id", $dbcnx);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
It won't work, but in the address bar if I manually change ?id=1 then the

Try echo '<a

if $row["id"] still isn't shown, then you most likely aren't getting the

Hi,
I'm trying to fill a rectangle with color in a php generated PDF

*Fatal error*: PDFlib error: illegal state 0x00000000 in
*/usr/local/apache/htdocs/EDR/generate_edr.php* on line *144*
I have tried both of the following on line 144:
pdf_setcolor($pdf, "both", "gray", 1);
pdf_setrgbcolor($pdf,1,1,0);
If I comment out the line to set color the PDF document gets generated
correctly. I can't find any reference* *to this error on mailing lists
or documentation. I'm using PHP Version 4.1.1 and PDFlib 4.0.1.
Does anyone have any ideas, thanks.

Hi all,
I'm writing a web mail. Having problem grabbing user full name to be
included in the email. So I hv a few questions:
1) How do I fetch the user's full name using a PHP function WITHOUT calling
system program finger? I already have the Linux user ID and password since I
am using HTTP authentication.
2) How do I fetch it using finger?
3) Do I put the full name in the from->personal variable?
Thanx

Where did you want to get the user's full name from !?!
Assuming the people using your webmail have system accounts on the machine
running your webmail then you could try looking in /etc/passwd.

Check out the function posix_getpwnam(), in particular, the gecos field.
This obviously only works if the user account is present on your web
server.

I wouldn't if I were you.

Difficult to say. What is the from->personal variable?

Thanx Miguel. The from->personal variable is an IMAP header to be sent out.
I open a pipe to sendmail, but since I'm running Postfix, the sendmail -f
(for fullname) option wouldn't work. As a result the receiver gets "Apache
User" as value for the from->personal member. Do you know how to insert some
name into this header? I've already used posix_getpwnam() gecos member as
Miguel suggested to retrieve full name from local server. Now I'd like to
put this into the mail header and send it along since sendmail can't help me
with postfix running.
Strangely when I shut down postfix, the popen I used to run sendmail cannot
trigger sendmail to send mails out. No bouncing back...nothing. When I
switch postfix back on, the mails in queue were delivered. Any idea why?

First, the execute bit means nothing over HTTP. So they couldn't just
execute it remotely. They would need an account on the box.
And second, PHP does not set the x bit, you are doing that. Check your
default umask or set it explicitly with a call to umask() before copying
the file into place.

That's not entirely true... if php is running as cgi it would need the

But it would mean that you would have to severly misconfigure your server
and write severely braindead code. Simply putting a file in your
document_root that has the x bit set will under normal circumstances not
do anything.

OK. But I am not changing the permissions. How am I setting the x bit?
I am not doing anything in my code except executing a copy() or
move_uploaded_file(). Is my server not configured correctly? If so, how
do I change the default permissions?
By the way, move_uploaded_file() sets completely different permissions
[-rw-------]than copy() [rwxr-xr-x]. I still say . . . "strange".

Have a look at the umask() function.
If that doesn't solve your problem you can always explicitly set the
permissions after moving/copying using chmod().

Here's the situation.
I run the website for a macintosh user folding@home team.
We are providing certificates for users who have done a signifigant amount
of work for the team.
I have jpeg templates and I'm using ImageTTFBBox and ImageTTFText to write
the username of the user on the certificate.
Some of the more "artistic" mac users have noticed some pixelation on the
text.
I'm looking for a way to clean that up.
Is there a way to use Postscript fonts with php?
I looked at the ImageMagik php extension, and it looks like it is still
quite early in development.
I haven't used ImageMagik much, but would an exec() call to the real
ImageMagick and then have php display what it does be a solution to this?
(yes- I know exec() isn't as good as pure php but hey-)
If you want to see it for yourself, look at the images produced by the
usernames with links at http://macaddict4life.dhs.org/walloffame.php
The source to the image generation is at
http://macaddict4life.dhs.org/Certs/certificate.phps
I'm currently using php 4.1.2 with GD-2 and FreeType 2 support (x86 Linux
Apache DSO)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Different matter, is there a way to pass the username to the php script
from a hyperlink w/o needing a ?name=blah in the link?
It would be cool if the script could just end in .jpeg opposed to
.jpeg?name=blah
(in that directory apache handled .jpeg as if it was .php)
Thanks for any suggestions!

This is a bug in GD2 - When you use Truecolor images with GD2,
anti-aliasing of ttf fonts break. This is fixed in GD-2.0.2. You don't
seem to have all that many colours on those certificates. Try simply
using an indexed image just to see the real quality you can get with
GD+TTF before switching.
The patches to fix this are available privately, but you should bug the
folks at boutell.com to release a new version of GD2.

Yes there is
$font=imagepsloadfont("HVB.PFB"); /* Helvetica */
$font=imagepsloadfont("HVB.PFB"); /* Helvetica */
// Attention I had to load the font twice to get it run, don´t know if
// it´s necessary to do this today
/* A case around the text to get correct center alignment */
$coord=ImagePSBBox($str,$font,$f_size,$spacing,$tightness,$angle);
/* claculate center*/
for($i=4;$i<4;$i++)
{
echo "$i=$coord[$i]\n";
}
$xpos= ($piclen - $coord[2]) / 2;
//floor($xpos);
$ypos= ($pic_h - $f_size) / 2 + $f_size ;
//floor($ypos);
ImagePSText($im,$str,$font,$f_size,$foreground,$background,$xpos,$ypos

I´m not shure, but this is not possible, just a directory.
Try it with a .htacess in your path.

Is there any other way of enabling trans_sid besides when compiling php?
Can I enable it in the php.ini file or .htaccess? And if so what would the
syntax be? I've tried multiple things, but nothing seems to work..
If that's not possible is there a way of getting rid of the '?' in the url
when people have cookies enabled? When cookies are not enabled the sid will
follow the '?' in the url since currently all my links have <?=sid?> at the
end.. So for example:
<a href="login.htm?<?=sid?>">Please login</a>
As you can see there will always be the '?' at the end of login.htm.. When
the surfer has cookies off it doesn¹t look bad, but when he has them
enabled.. It just looks strange :)
Thanks!

Hi Rick,
I asked this same question to an ISP I'm with, and was told that it's only
possible through a re-compile. The way I got around it is this: I created a
function to check whether SID was present (it only is when the session is
first invoked, and from there on if the user doesn't have cookies enabled).
The function takes three arguments; type, url, and link text / image.
Here's how it looks:
// Function to auto append the session id to a link: takes the link and name
of link and
// the type of link (a=&, b=?) as arguments.
function AppendSessionId($link, $label, $type) {
$display = "<a href=\"" . $link;
if (SID) {
if ($type == "a") {
$display .= "&";
} else
if ($type == "b") {
$display .= "?";
}
$display .= SID;
}
$display .= "\">" . $label . "</a>";
return $display;
}
The type is for appending the SID onto links that already have a query
string. So if you did:
echo AppendSessionId("page.php?id=1", "Page 1", "a");
URL output would be:
page.php?id=1&session_id_variable_name=34567890
If the user has cookies enabled, ouput would simply be:
page.php?id=1
If you use type "b", then the sid is appended with a question mark (new
query string is started) for those users without cookies enabled:
echo AppendSessionId("page.php", "My page", "b");
output would be:
page.php for cookies enabled users and
page.php?session_id_variable_name=23456789 for those who cause us problems.
Hope that helps. If anyone's got a better solution, I'm all ears! :)

I cannot help you with code,also it wouldn´t really help you understanding
the problem
but give you more problems understanding my code.
I use to have a table with the following structure
TABLE MENU
rn // that´s an autoincrement number for indexing
page // on which page the component will appear "foobar.php3"
pt // path to the pic (depending of quantity of path) "../pix/"
nop // the name of the pic "foo.jpg"
altval // the word which will be shown in the alt tag of the pics
reference "This is the foopic"
link // where will the link go "newfoo.php"
orm // a number to order the
sf // showflag, to switch off unwanted/uncompleted pages
For pathinformations, I use an includefile which is included on every page.
This holds the informations about tablewidth, pathes(oops that´s correct?),
sitenames
and everything the Site needs on every page.
Now you just make a select like
select * from menu where page="$PHP_SELF" where sf=1 order by orm
And make your menu. If you put the menu in an extra page (or an object)
you just have to include it on every "content page" and the work is done.
echo '<table border="0" width="'.$tbwidth.'" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0" summary="Menutable">'
while($res=answer from db)
{
echo '<tr><td>'
echo '<a href="'.$res[5].'?somevar=something">'
echo '<img src="$res[2]" border="0" width="XX" height="YY"
alt="$res[4]">
echo '</a></td></tr>'
}
echo '</table>'
As you said you want to make a menu, width & height of the pics are known.
Otherwise you shoul check them using fuctions from the graphic library.
The Browsers are faster if they know exactly what the do.
Maybe this gives you some understanding how to do it.

Hi, my question is how to change two pages in different frames in one click.
I am not sure if this is related to more like HTML. But, here is my case.
I have two frames, frame1 and frame2.
In frame1, I have href tag targeted to frame1.
When I click it, I want my frame2 to be changes some other page also. Would
this be possible?
If anyone knows how to do it, please let me know. Thanks for your
consideration.

This is not really PHP stuff anyway see here..
This is possible with Javascript which can be placed in your link to
refresh the frames
<a href="javascript:some_js_function();" ...>
inside the function you can change source of one or more frames if you
know javascript
parent.frame1.src = ..
parent.frame2.src = ....

Can anyone give me the quick and easy on IMAP and POP3 ?
What I want to do is, check my POP3 server for messages, download those
messages into my MySQL DB. I want to retrieve the FROM, SUBJECT, HEADER and
BODY from the messages and place them in the corresponding mysql fields.
I know the mysql / php stuff fine ... it's the IMAP / POP3 thing I'm a
little lost on. Perhaps someone can point me to a script posted on some
website that shows some examples of how to use IMAP to connect and retrieve
messages via POP3, or if anyone out there already has some examples, that'll
be very helpful.
Thanks.

You could take a look at SquirrelMail (www.squirrelmail.org). That uses IMAP
(albeit it's own functions rather than PHP's). And if you take a look at the
plugins (mailfetch or something), that should give you an idea of how to do
POP.
In fact check out all the other webmail systems written in PHP.

hi folks,
to compile PHP4 i need apache AND roxen being installed in my development
distribution.
BUT if i install apache AND roxen the same time it conflicts together and no
webserver is running anymore.
the building of PHP is working well if i have installed both.
does anybody know a workaround that i can have apache webserver running AND
roxen being on the system for compiling-work only
or should i forget running a webserver on a development system?

You will have to build another page that receive a parameter(let's say the
index of the pic from the database) and return the image.
In this page you'll have to set the Content-Type first using:
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg") or
header("Content-Type: image/gif") or
header("Content-Type: image/png")
depends of what you need.
After that you will find the pic in the database and return it with echo.

Hi All!
Here's something I am trying to do, and I don't know if it's possible. I
have a function that must register session variables, values that come from
an array. But each of these values will be the value of an session array, of
non-fixed size.
Let me explain (w and d stands for Write and Del):
What I need:
$_SESSION['news']['w'] = 1;
$_SESSION['news']['d'] = 1;
So what I am doing:
$w = 1;
$d = 1
$powers = ($w, $d); // This array can have an undetermined number of values
function MakePowers ($area, $powers)
{
foreach ($powers as $value) {
$area = $value;
}
}
Now here comes the real problem, $area specifies where in the $_SESSION
array I will store the power.
I did $area = $_SESSION['news'] but gives me a "undefined index 'news". I
could define 'news' for each page of my application but that's not much
function reuse :-)
And $area could be, in different pages, $_SESSION['news]['admin'],
$_SESSION['forum'], etc...
That's my non-fixed sized array. I need to make a central function that
will store in different keys of $_SESSION values that say what powers the
user has, powers that come from the $powers array.
ANY help? I hope I did a good job trying to explain what I am trying to do
:-)
Many thanks for any help, sincerely!
