OK thanx figured out a workaround in the meantime, I am setting and
retaining part of the session, but not all session variables, am I doing
this wrong???
$ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
// Check for session - if session is set user has already logged in
session_start();
$login_state = &$_SESSION["login_state"];
if ($login_state["hasLoggedIn"] === 1) $hasLoggedIn = 1;
if ($login_state["ip"] != $REMOTE_ADDR) $hasLoggedIn = 0; // Prevents
session stealing
$temp .= "Your new session id is: " . $login_state["ip"] . "<br>";
$login_state["ip"] never exists, though it's supposed to when the session is
created upon successful login:
// Set up session variable with username and redirect to pic upload lib
session_start();
$login_state["hasLoggedIn"] = 1;
$login_state["ip"] = $ip;
session_register("login_state");
header("Location: http://"; . $HTTP_HOST . $PHP_SELF);
You can see I am going to be a big problem :(

you have to call session_start() before you send any output to the browser,
because it sends some headers.

Another idea:
$the_file_type = $HTTP_POST_FILES['filename']['type'];
$registered_types = array(
"image/gif" => ".gif",
"image/pjpeg" => ".jpg, .jpeg",
"image/jpeg" => ".jpg, .jpeg",
"application/msword" => ".doc",
"application/vnd.ms-excel" => ".xls",
"application/octet-stream" => ".exe, .fla",
"application/pdf" => ".pdf"
);
$allowed_images = array("image/gif","image/pjpeg","image/jpeg");
if (!in_array($the_file_type,$allowed_images))
{
// produce your error text here
}
This looks at the mimetype of the file, using the
$HTTP_POST_FILES['filename']['type'] varible [note that "filename" is the
name passed from your form - "type" is the actual string you need to use
to access the mimetype.
Read http://us.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php for more info on
this.

Late reply -- I don't check this folder that often.
I had this exact problem. Don't bother with temp tables, or extra fields,
or anything like that. You can build it all into your MySQL query. A
resident MySQL expert gave me this recipe (well, one very similar):
<?
$query = 'SELECT title_field, some_other_fields
FROM some_table
WHERE some_field = 'some_criteria'
ORDER BY TRIM(leading "An " from
TRIM(leading "A " from
TRIM(leading "The " from title_field)))
';
?>
No fuss, no muss. You don't have to worry about what order they were
inserted in, artificially munging your data, or anything else.
HTH!

Sounds to me as if you have an extra newline in there. The first blank
line indicates to the MTA/MUA the end of the headers and the start of
the message body.
Note that (IMHO) the manual page for mail() is wrong. I believe the
line endings used to separate headers should be the system's native
line endings. Not "\r\n". Using "\r\n" on a Unix box can cause some
MTA's (qmail, in particular) to imagine *two* line endings, thus ending
your headers.
...R.

The manual is correct. See:

Subject: [PHP] Forms in PHP
Hello
I hope u can help me with this problem. I dont know if it is possible to
do it. I'm using PHP and XML to generate the folowing HTML:
...
<form method="post" action="cart.php">
<input type="hidden" name="itemid" value="1">1</input>
...
<input type="hidden" name="itemid" value="2">2</input>
...
<input type="hidden" name="itemid" value="3">3</input>
...
...
I want to use PHP to count the number of $itemid in this file. Is it
possible? And how?
Thx a lot

Also win2k and apache(cgi)
i got an internal server error, due to the malformed header, CPU usage peaked at 100%
and then dropped off.
So i changed the code to the loop below and max execution time came up but CPU usage
didn't drop straight off, so i had closer look, php exits after 30 seconds but the CPU
usage continues in ie and apache and the page keeps loading, so i think that's down to
output buffering . interestingly i had no trouble loading phpmyadmin and running a
query while this was happening, it was just a little slower......
<?php
$a=1;
while(0<1) {
$a++;
echo $a."<br>";
}
?>
So if you want to crash your server with an infinite loop there's plenty of ways to do
it. <g>

I am doing some php development and testing it on my WinME system. I have
Apache installed and the only way I can get anything to execute is with a
shebang at the beginning of the file. Then the shebang is printed in the
page:( Anyone know how to get around this. I don't have this trouble with
ASP pages.
Thanks

I have three scripts login.php, auth_user.php, and function.php. The
login.php script does user authentication and routes the user to
auth_user.php. The function.php script, which contains process_function(),
does some very intensive data processing and may take from 30 seconds to 3
minutes to run.
Here's what I have tried to do:
// login.php script
require("function.php");
...
... do some authentication stuff
...
process_function(); // makes user wait too long to get to the authenticated
area
include("auth_user.php"); // takes user to authenticated area
If I try to run the process_function() from the login.php script, the script
takes too long to run. How can I get this function to run so it does not
interfere with user logging in? Is there a way to get the function to
execute and let it run on its own within login.php and let the user continue
on to the authenticated area without that delay?
Another thought I had was to get the function.php script that contains the
function to execute on its own based on time (e.g., run every hour on the
hour). Is there a way to do that?
Thank you.

$arr2 is a 2d array.
$arr1[0] = 1;
$arr1[1] = 10;
$arr2[0] = $arr1;
print $arr2[0][1];
Result will be 10
But,
$arr1[0] = 1;
$arr1[1] = 10;
$arr2[0] = $arr1;
$arr3 = each($arr2);
print $arr3[1];
Result is not 10. So, function "each" is not taking the whole $arr2[0]
out......
My question is what function should I use to iterate array elements (with
arrays in it)?

What are you expecting? Check out the documentation for each() at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.each.php
At this point $arr3 should look like this (I think, but try
print_r($arr3) to be sure):
{
0 => 0,
1 => array (
0 => array (
0 => 1,
1 => 10
)
),
key => 0,
value => array (
0 => array (
0 => 1,
1 => 10
)
)
}

I am trying to read a session file from the /tmp directory then
restore the PHP variables from this but I can't get it to work, i'm
doing the following:
$acontents = file("/tmp/sess_$sessid");
$data = $acontents[0];
unserialize($data);
$sessid is a valid session id, but unserialize doesn't give me
the values for $hostname, $username, etc?

I am having a problem reading a remote file using fopen and http://. I
suspect this is because the remote file is sending back a cookie. Can
anyone confirm and/or offer a solution?
Here is what I am doing.
$CP_url is a full url in the form http://blah.com/footer.html
$filename = "$CP_url";
$fd = fopen ($filename, "r");
$PAGE_FOOTER = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($fd);

If it is indeed sending back a cookie then you need something like curl,
IIRC, a simple fopen() wouldn't work.

I have a script which retrieves the body of an email message from
a MySQL database to be sent to someone who applies using a form.
The script contains this:
$url = "<a href=\"http://$HTTP_HOST$SCRIPT_NAME\";>http://$HTTP_HOST$SCRIPT_NAME</a>";
$url = addslashes("$url");
$msg1 .= "$body"; //to be sent via mail()
Then within the body of the message I want $url to show up.
The body of the message in the database looks like this:
-----------
You are receiving this exclusive message to confirm your
application through $url.
-----------
I've tried everything I can think of with $url, curly brackets, backslashes

You need to build/install extension by yourself.

have pages that have session_start() at the top to persist the session

GIF is licensed by Unisys(it is a compuserve format). This is very
expensive, so it has been cut out of php. Solution: a) use PNG b) get an old
version of php.

The GD library which is on your system has the GIF functions removed owing to
patents/licensing issues. Either get an older version of the library (the
official GD Library website doesn't have it anymore, try searching on
Google), or use PNG instead of GIF.
Also please refrain from posting the same thing more than once -- it only
annoys people.

But this time,when I use imagepng function instead imagegif funtion,the result is
not right ,either!
The warning message displayed also,which is "<b>Warning</b>: ImagePng: No PNG support
in this PHP build in <b>/usr/local/apache/htdocs/index.php</b> on line <b>9</b><br>".
Why&What shall I do now?

I have a directory on my server that contains log files for all my virtual hosts.
I'd like to create a (web) login page that each owner of those vhosts can use to gain
access to their individual log files. Ideally by using the same login they have on
the system (their physical log in), but not required.
My problems are, a) each login need only access to their log files, no one else's,
and b) some logins will have more than one vhost (and consequently more than one log
directory).
Right now I have the directory structure setup as follows:
/main logs/
/main logs/<vhost 1>
/main logs/<vhost 2>
/main logs/<vhost 3>
etc.
etc.
So, if the owner of <vhost 1> logs in, I want them to be "dropped" within
/main_logs/<vhost 1>/ to see their log files. But, I don't know how to tie the
different vhosts that belong to the same owner together.
(I suspect someone might ask why, so I'll also note this: The reason I have this
setup is because I run statistics on each log file, and it's those reports that the
users get access to, not the actual physical log file)
I'm open to suggestions.

Hi,
I am evaluating if it is posible to connect Oracle 8i from PHP, running a
PL/SQL procedure and returning the results, avaible in a temp table, to
HTML. Besides, I need to format the results of the query in PDF document and
make a pie chart based on he results of the contents of the table I
mentioned before. I looking for some adds-on to PHP that makes it posible to
do this all..
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced

Just a few quick questions if anybody is out there.
Why use .inc as a file extenstion when you can use .php ??
What are the advantages/disadvantages to using .inc?
Is one more secure?
Which is faster?
Which is consider a better pratice?
Thanks a lot.

Just a matter of aesthetics. Some people might like to use .inc to remind
themselves that the file is to be included and not run on its own.

None from a technical point of view

On default webserver settings, .inc may be less secure because by default the
webserver would not treat .inc files as php files and thus return them as-is.
Thus if people know the name of your "filename.inc" they could potentially
browse to it and thus see its contents.
There are two ways to counter this:
1) have the .inc files in a directory outside the scope of the webserver
directory.
2) set the webserver to treat .inc files as php files.
> Which is faster?
No difference.
> Which is consider a better pratice?
As long as you take the necessary precautions then it boils down to a matter
of preference.

Look at file() and fgets() functions.
File gives you the whole file as a row per element array
e.g. ...
If ($csvfile = file("yourfile.csv"))
{ foreach($csvfile as $row)
{ $csvarray[] = explode(",", $row);
}
}
... gives you a structure from the csv that you can walk through in php.
Using fopen and while fgets may be more efficient, especially if you don't
want the whole file
If ($fhandle = fopen("yourfile.csv", "r"))
{ while ($row = fgets($fhandle))
{ ... // etc.
}
}

Hi
I am trying to offer downloading files from a web server, using PHP.
The files are gzipped text and have all .txt.gz extensions. Now while on
Windows systems both IE and Netscape offers to download it under the
full name (althought IE adds [some_number] to the base of the file
name), under Unix or Linux systems (tested with netscape 4.7) the '.gz'
part is discarded from the file name and the file is saved with .txt
only. Downloaded file is still gzipped.
The part of script serving the files is as follows:
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$my_filename");
echo($file_body);
What am-I doing wrong? Thanks in advance
Tom
