Re: [PHP] how to resort results of a query

2002-07-05 Thread Matthew K. Gold


Thanks very much for your response, Chris--it sounds like that's exactly
what I need to do.

I'm sorry to trouble you further, but if you have a second, can you give me
some advice on how to store results in a temporary table with the columns
indexed?  I'm very new to PHP, and I'm not sure how to go about it.

Thanks in advance.

best,

Matt

RE: [PHP] Re: Problem With ora_do

2002-07-05 Thread Grimes, Dean


Here is a little test program.



 select emp_id, emp_name from employee;

dgrimes  Dean Grimes

35 rows selected.

This is a select using SQLPLUS to select all of the employees. There were a
lot of other names, I just removed them from the list.


SQL> select emp_id, emp_name from employee where emp_id = 'dgrimes';

dgrimes  Dean Grimes

This is a select using SQLPLUS that specifies the WHERE clause. It too works
properly.



I did not include the code to process using ora_open, ora_pars and ora_exec.
But it does work just fine with or without a WHERE clause.

*/

error_reporting(15);
$dbconnect = ora_logon('ops$dgrimes','changemenow');

// Select with WHERE clause
// $sql = "SELECT * FROM employee WHERE emp_id = 'dgrimes'";

// Select without WHERE clause
$sql = "SELECT * FROM employee";

$cur = ora_do($dbconnect,$sql);


// Uncomment this block to see results of WHERE CLAUSE. It gets No Data
Found"
/*
ora_fetch_into($cur,$results,ORA_FETCHINTO_NULLS|ORA_FETCHINTO_ASSOC);
echo ora_errorcode($cur);
echo ora_error($cur);
exit;
*/
// Comment the above block to see results of select without WHERE CLAUSE

while
(ora_fetch_into($cur,$results,ORA_FETCHINTO_NULLS|ORA_FETCHINTO_ASSOC)) {
//  print_r($results);
//  echo "\n";
while (list($k,$v) = each($results))
echo "Key=".$k." Val=".$v."\n";

Show us real source code...

Nothing in what you say seems 'wrong', but who knows?

Wild Guesses:

You're not seeing any errors because you're not *ASKING* to see any errors.
You have to specifically request error messages to be displayed or logged
somewhere.

You are doing something like:
$x = 2;
$query = "select * from table_name where col_name = x";
And, oddly enough, there are none with 'x' even though there are lots with
2...
So, there's no problem with the query, it's just not the query you intended.
Try printing out your query, and paste it into the Oracle command-line
thingie (sql-dba?)

Probably not but what the heck.

[PHP] PHP Automatic Backup

2002-07-05 Thread César Aracena


Hi all.
 
I was reading the post by Pag called MySQL backups and I have the same
question, but not the shell access. It came to my mind, that if will be
very useful for me, and probably for many of us newbies, to be able to
build an automated PHP system that could make backups by itself at a
specified time lets say maybe every morning at 6 am, by transferring
or uploading the MySQL files to another server. I noticed that this
could be done in PHPNuke, by clicking at Backup Files. ¿Is it possible
to build this kind of unattended scripts with PHP or will it always
require a magical click from the administrator?
 
I guess that it shouldnt be possible, but its worth a shot.
 
Thanks in advance,

When you echo, you are adding to HTML, so you need  for new lines 
not \n. There is a function called nl2br that converts the nl into br's 
for you, so do this;

$string="-line1n\ -line2 n\-line3";

$string = nl2br($string);

echo "$string";

[PHP] Re: IIS unexpected error

It would be a good idea to switch to Apache.  I had the php script and IIS.
The problem with IIS is the virus, so MS provide some patches, include the
IIS lockdown.  When I activated the IIS Lockdown, it prevent some PHP code
from working.  It became too much for me so I had to switch to Apache.

[PHP] $_SESSION troubles

2002-07-05 Thread Michiel Lange


Hello hello,

I have this strange thing with a sort of login procedure (still working it
out, but it will work eventually)
On the first page, you log in (username + password)
Then we come to 'login.php' where I have this header
  1 

This works, I can use $loginname and $loginpw

Somewhere on that page I have added a few buttons, and one of those buttons
is functional (the others have to be written yet)
But here I have this header:
  1 

The strange thing is that if I do (hey, it's just for testing what's
happening):
print("loginname = $loginname\n");
print("loginpw=$loginpw\n");

both loginname and loginpw contain the same information, which is the true
information of $loginpw
what am I doing wrong here?

[PHP] Re: Removing the #!/usr... from cgi output?

2002-07-05 Thread colin mcdonald


I think you can make the AddType location specific

ie:
in /home/httpd/html/cgi-bin all files ending in .php will be cgi php
everywhere else /home/httpd/html/ will be php module

the line at the top tells the parser which program should execute the 
code in the file ... so I think you don't add the AddType in apache and 
maybe something different?

Yes, that's the problem with cookies :( In case they get disabled, or

You probably need to send the correct header at the top of your 
graphit.php to indicate to the browser that you are
sending it a file with a content type of image/png . graphit.php should 
do two things; First send the header, Second
send the PNG data.

[PHP] Little optimisation question

2002-07-05 Thread Latex Master


Hello php-general,

  I've recently faced big optimization issues. Here is mine
situation:

I make connection to NNTP server and fetch headers from the news group
lets say bla.bla.bla. Connection made ok. Next Php tryes to put
everything into the array. It's okey if number of headers are lower
then let's say 100. But if number of headers get greater then 100,
it's a pain in the ass. I have to wait for 90-100 seconds till the
operation completes. (I'm talking here about large value news groups).
So I have faced that I need to optimize it somehow.
At this point of time i've got only idea is to put all the headers in
the database. But not sure how to update database frequently. Any
ideas even fantastic ones are welcome.

Re: [PHP] $_COOKIE

That is what I thought so!  Thanks!

To me, the $_COOKIE seem to get data from the browser in some way.  Correct
me if I'm wrong.  Something like a communication between cookie.

[PHP] function for size of array

2002-07-05 Thread Scott Fletcher


Is there PHP function that would get the total array count.

ie
--snip--
$array[0] = "zero";
$array[1] = "one";
$array[2] = "two";

$array_count = 
--snip--

And I would get 3 as an answer.

Thanks,

[PHP] help with session_decode in PHP 4.20 (fairly urgent)

2002-07-05 Thread Simon Troup


My web host has just upgraded to PHP 4.20. My MySQL database is full of
session_encoded fields, but since the upgrade I can no longer session_decode
them.

After doing phpinfo I find the following settings ...

register_argc_argvon on
register_globals  on on


I've been through the manual regarding predefined variables but must be
missing the point somewhere.

How do I get the session_encoded fields back as useable variables?

Thanks

This generally means that you tried to suck in a zillion bytes to a
variable, and PHP only has so much RAM, and, well, it's too much...

In this instance, you are attempting to get 1,073,784,417 bytes, which is,
oh, about a *GIG* of RAM into one variable...

Don't do that. :-)

To the best of my knowledge you can't nest forms like this.  Even if you
can I'd suggest it's bad practice as you'll all too easily run into
problems and complexity issues (eg. Having to specifically name each
form etc).  I'd suggest finding a different way to achieve what you want
(more forms most likely).

Well, the new browser window opens, but you're loading a PDF, not HTML, so
it's not really getting any data at all.  The data it's not getting isn't
secure, by definition, since there's nothing there.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the PDF file is being transmitted securely, as
you want it to be, and that's being opened in whatever application/plug-in I
told my browser to use for PDF files.

I dunno about most folks, but my PDF files always fire up in a new
Application anyway, much less a new window.  While I realize some people
have that funky plug-in crap going on, and will see their PDF trapped inside
a browser window, you're probably best off not doing the target="_blank"
part.

That will take care of the stupid warning, since there is no blank window
opening up to get the empty insecure HTML document you're not sending out.
:-)

It *IS* pretty stupid of the browser to complain about the non-secure
non-data, but it's not PHP.  You'll have to talk to your browser
manufacturer about that one.

YMMV.

Disclaimer:  This above is simply my rationalization of the browser
behaviour described (and which I've experienced).  I have not really dug
deep into source code and disassembled data to verify this working
hypothesis.

Does  display information (other than ./configure) about
MySQL?

It's possible that you never really got MySQL compiled into PHP, even though
you asked for it...

The ./configure script has a nasty habit of continuing to process and giving
you a working PHP, but without quite all the things you asked for,
sometimes.

If all else fails, just try it without the "shared," part.

Re: [PHP] Is there an easy way to divid up HTTP_USER_AGENT?

Hi

As far as I can see you need to manipulate HTTP_USER_AGENT yourself.  Here
is an example that I used to determine if the browser is MSIE and if so what
version it is.  What are you trying to determine?  A specific browser?

if (strStr($HTTP_USER_AGENT, "MSIE")) {
  $agent_array = split(";", $HTTP_USER_AGENT);

  $ie_version = subStr($agent_array[1], 6,7);
}

It can be done, and the proper way to do it is to use an array :-)

But, if you are hell-bent on using "variable variables" you should really
read the PHP documentation about them:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php

However, you'll save yourself a *LOT* of headaches to just use arrays.

Yeah,
you are right about that!

But since you have to take the constant out of the string (with {} or ". .")
it shouldn't be a problem to use constants.

Re: [PHP] How to pass unknown number of variables to a function?

2002-07-05 Thread Uwe Birkenhain


Thank's for the help everybody!

I used something different (a little like this nice one from Terence (thank
you!) but with JS:

I named my form 'test' and included a hidden field 'collector'.
At the checkboxes the name is the value I need. The box, when checked, gets
the value 1.

In the boxtags I added:
 onclick=add_values($name)
where name is the value I want.

Then I wrote this little script:
 $js = "
 function add_values(val) {
   document.test.'collector'.value += val;
   document.test.'collector'.value += \",\";
 }
 ";

It produces a comma separated list in the field 'collector' whith only the
checked values.
When sending the form, only this field is transmitted. This is just what I
wanted and it works fine.

Re: [PHP] how to resort results of a query

2002-07-05 Thread Chris Hewitt

Matthew,

Apologies to others that this is now quite OT, let's make this the last 
of this thread. If I may suggest that this is now about pure sql 
techniques and nothing to do with php.

What I did was to create a table (not temporary as it happens) with 
fields containing all the fields that you want to display e.g.:
CREATE TABLE searchdata (
username varchar(30),
course varchar2(80),
discipline varchar2(40),
college varchar2(60));
CREATE INDEX course ON searchdata (username, course);
CREATE INDEX discipline ON searchdata (username, discipline);
CREATE INDEX college ON searchdata (username, college);
The username field is either the name the user is logged in as or some 
unique identifier you give to that user.

When you get the main sql statement, copy all the fields into 
searchdata. When you display the fields on your form, make each of the 
headings of the table you display the data in a url to this same form 
but with an "orderby" parameter. So e.g. the "course" column title is a 
url ending in "orderby=course". Now when the form is called with the 
orderby parameter, instead of getting the data from the main table, get 
it from searchdata with an sql statement which includes the relevant 
"order by" clause. You need to arrange for the data to be deleted when 
it is finished with, I leave that to you, each case will differ.

I do not claim that this is the best way, but it is the way I used.

Hope it helps.

Chris

ðÒÉ×ÅÔ!

Yes, that's the way it works. Once you do a setcookie() on the server 
you actually issue a sort of "delayed command" for the client, if you 
pardon me the expression :) In short, when you print out your HTML you 
also tell the client to save some data in its disk (or RAM when you use 
session cookies).

This data will be presented back later to you with the next URL request. 
It is NOT saved on the server, it is just a sort of automatic add-on 
that you will have on all links pointing to you until the cookie 
expires. It will be presented to those URLs you specify when building 
the cookie (usually you will want to limit their action to some 
subdirectory to avoid having back data out of context).

Sounds very nice, but... But the trouble is that in doing so you issue a 
command to a machine of which you know almost nothing. Most of all, you 
don't know whether it's capable of executing your order. Or willing to, 
since users may disable cookies.

Sort of blind date, but the girl may actually not show up later... 99% 
she will, but you should not count on it.

Re: [PHP] Is there an easy way to divid up HTTP_USER_AGENT?

2002-07-05 Thread Chris Garaffa


JJ,

I don't know of an *easy* way, but this script (with regex's ) isn't too
bad; you can figure it out with a little bit of research.
/* begin script
ereg("^([[:alpha:]]+)/([[:digit:]\.]+)( .*)$", $HTTP_USER_AGENT, $match);
$Browser_Name=$match[1];
$Browser_Version=$match[2];
$Browser_Description=$match[3];
If(eregi("msie", $Browser_Description))
eregi("MSIE ([[:digit:]\.]+);, $Browser_Description, $match);
$Browser_Name="MSIE";
$Browser_Version = $match[1];
}
// end script
*/
So now, you have a script which gets the Name, Version and Description, and
also looks to specify MSIE as the browser. Read up on Regular Expressions,
and you can modify this for any browser/version combo.
(adopted from Listing 16.3 in Core PHP Programming by Leon Atkinson)

That is because AIX 5.1 uses a linux kernel. That implies alot of changes
for the architecture...
However, I think you should be able to compile for 5.1, but you'll need the
required libraries which have to be compiled and installed as well... which
implies that you need the development stuff like gcc/gmake (I thought gmake
was used, from the top of my head)

Believe me when I say that there are no insecure links, or parts of my

a PDF with no links, and it is fully generated on a secure application

Yea, it use the Linux Kernel.  I had to download RPM stuffs from IBM.  It

[PHP] localhost - passing variables

2002-07-05 Thread Tony Tzankoff


Is it possible to pass variables in PHP on the localhost server? Is there
some kind of setting or something that I need? I am new to this and am not
sure how to go about this. When I upload to a server, the script I have
works just fine; but when I work on it locally, it does not work. Please
help while I am still technically sane. Thanks. :oP

Not a problem!  I noticed the "PHPSESSID" only showed up on $_COOKIE and
nothing else.  I dont' want to use the $_COOKIE, so I may either assign it

Re: [PHP] localhost - passing variables

If you're using one of the more recent releases of PHP4+, then register_globals is set 
to OFF by default in your php.ini file.  Change this to ON or use 
$_GET['variable']/$_POST['variable'] to access the values.

Re: [PHP] localhost - passing variables

2002-07-05 Thread Philip Olson


A guess:

Your local server has different settings then the 
remote server.  Specifically, the register_globals
directive.

  For example, take this url:

http://www.example.com/foo.php?id=3

  If register_globals = off you can get this by:

// These methods work as of PHP 4.1.0
print $_GET['id'];
print $_REQUEST['id'];

import_request_variables('gpc', 'r_');
print $r_id;

// This works as of PHP 3
print $HTTP_GET_VARS['id'];

  If register_globals = on, an additional method exists.

// Works if register_globals = on
print $id;

It's preferred to not rely on register_globals = on.  In 
fact, this directive is deprecated and may not work one 
day.  As of PHP 4.2.0 this defaults to off in php.ini.

[PHP] Session not expiring

All,

My session is not expiring and I believe that I set this correctly.
I'm looking for a 15 minute expiration time.

My current setting:

session.cookie_lifetime   = 900 ; lifetime in seconds of cookie
; or if 0, until browser is restarted

Is this the correct why to achieve this? If so what else can it be?

Thanks,

[PHP] How Do Y'all Secure your Sites... (Cookies vs. IP Number)...

2002-07-05 Thread Kondwani Spike Mkandawire


Quick Question on Cookies vs. IP Number:

They appear to be easy to set (well at least in PHP), hence quite
easily to get around (The user of your Site simply deletes the
Cookie on his Hard Drive...)  In Konqueror you are actually
given the option of rejecting cookies...  Using
getenv($REMOTE_ADDR) to retrieve someones IP number
isn't too reliable either in the case that someone is using
Dial Up...  I just want to get ideas from other PHP Coders as
to how they secure their Sites and actually keep an accurate
record as to who and how many people visit  your sites..
coz even a combination of Cookies and IP would be easily
by-passed...

Some Ideas if you may folks...

It looks like you're doing it correctly.  Use phpinfo() to verify the

Dial Up...  I just want to get ideas from other PHP Coders as
to how they secure their Sites and actually keep an accurate
record as to who and how many people visit  your sites..
coz even a combination of Cookies and IP would be easily
by-passed...

Some Ideas if you may folks...

Re: [PHP] ./configure with register_globals turned on?

2002-07-05 Thread Rasmus Lerdorf


So putting the line:

register_globals = on

In your php.ini file (path to it specified in your phpinfo() output)
didn't work?

Check the following:

1. Are you sure there isn't a second "register_globals = off" entry
   somewhere in that file?

2. Does the web server have read access to the directory and the php.ini
   file itself?

3. Can you change other things and see the change in your phpinfo()
   output?

This really does work.

Re: [PHP] ./configure with register_globals turned on?

2002-07-05 Thread Andre Dubuc

Hi Scott,

I've come to this post a little late, but I had exactly the same problem. No 
matter what I set php.ini, phpinfo() would not show changes.

If I recall correctly, the problem sort of 'disappeared' by itself. I finally 
resolved it by rebooting immediately after setting the new php.ini (this was 
on Linux-Mandrake 8.2). Further, if I recall, (and this was three months ago) 
I think I re-installed PHP, but it made no difference. Make sure Apache is 
'off' before you attempt to change php.ini. Also, in my config, there was 
another php.ini hidden in /etc/httpd  -- do a 'locate' to see if you have 
multiple copies!

I had a  lot quirky things happen while trying to configure PHP 4.1.1. and a 
few with 4.1.2. For some odd reason, after a few attempts it does work. Try 
again, would be my advice. It'll work sooner or later :> You might want to 
run a test to see if globals are really 'on' or 'off' -- I really don't trust 
the phpinfo() output!

Not much help, but hth

And the php.ini file you are changing is the one listed in your phpinfo()

Crontab would work.

Or you could make a library that you include in often-requested files
which checks and updates a task list to take care of anything that needs
to be done.  You may not get perfect Swiss-train timing but if your site
has decent levels of traffic it should work.

Re: [PHP] HTTPS vs. HTTP ?

2002-07-05 Thread Jerome Houston


If I could elaborate on colin's explanation
Mainly so that there is a fairly recent one of these in the archives
(not that anybody searches them :-)

Like miguel said encryption in an HTTP request/response pair is determined 
by your browser.

if the browser is making a request, and it sees an https:// at the beginning 
of the request URL, it will :
1.  get the domain's public key from a public key server
2.  encrypt the whole request with the domain's public key
3.  submit it to the web server.

If the web server sees that this is an encrypted request, it will :
1.  decrypt the request with it's private key
2.  process it and generate a response (usually in the form of html)
3.  encrypt the response with it's private key
4.  send it back to the browser

When the browser gets the response, it:
1.  decrypts it with the public key
2.  displays the html to the client user
3.  ***shows a lock icon at the bottom of the browser

Now, one of the things that many people are confused about is that they 
think there must be a lock icon at the bottom of the browser when they are 
entering sensitive info (like credit card numbers).  Nope.  The only 
important thing is that the form which takes the sensitive data SUBMITS to 
an https:// URL.  Because (as above) it will encrypt the request (which 
includes the sensitive data) BEFORE it submits it over the internet.  But 
most people don't know how to check that a form submits to an to an https:// 
URL.  So, the standard practice is to have the page containing the form 
which takes the sensitive data ALSO be an https:// URL, so that the lock 
icon is already there when the client user is entering that oh-so-prized 
sensitive data, even though there's nothing really to protect in that HTTP 
request/response pair.

PHP is, in a way, completely separate from the HTTP/HTTPS layer.  When PHP 
is started up by the web server, regardless of the encryption (or lack 
thereof) of the original request, PHP gets the non-encrypted (or already 
decrypted) request.  When it sends its response output to the webserver to 
be sent to the client, it sends that output unencrypted.  It's completely up 
to the web server to either encrypt the response, then send it out, or to 
just send it with no modification.

I hope that helps your understanding of what's going on with all this 
HTTP/HTTPS stuff.  I also hope that i've been clear about it.  It's kind of 
easy to get lost in terms.

IP numbers are pretty useless for this. A given user's IP address can 
change during a session, and multiple users can share IP addresses.

I'm not sure what your concerns about cookies are wrt security; they can
be part of a pretty tight system. Perhaps you could elaborate. For people
who don't accept session cookies, you'll have to pass a token around in
the URL or in a hidden form item.

Re: [PHP] How Do Y'all Secure your Sites... (Cookies vs. IP Number)...

2002-07-05 Thread Scott Fletcher


Well!  The credit bureau website I maintain.  We don't use cookie because it
doesn't help when the user had it turned off.  We do compile OpenSSL and
Libmcrypt with PHP, so we can check to see if the web browser is 128 bits
and not below that.  The PHP code for that is
"$_SERVER['SSL_CIPHER_USEKEYSIZE']".  We also use the
"$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] to allow only the credit bureau employee to log in
to the administration website that is if the employee's machine is at the
credit bureau place.  This help with some security but not a full security
because people outside of the credit bureau  can easily change the IP
address on his/her machine or is in a local network behind the the firewall
with make up IP addreses since it won't be used in the internet or real
network.  We also use Session ID to keep track of hte user, so that the user
can be logged of if idle for like 15 minutes and we also use it to prevent
the direct access attempt without logging in.  Etc.  Hope this idea can be
of a help.

We have public key servers?

Around these parts the client and server use a self-contained process to 
handle the key exchange. The server's key has been signed by a certificate 
authority (Verisign, etc.) whose public key is already stored in the 
browser... or not, in which case the client alerts the user and generally 
continues nevertheless.

Sort of. The server's key is used to encrypt the exchange of a new key
which lasts only for the lifetime of the transaction. This ephemeral key
is what's used to encrypt the actual data. But this nuance is probably not
very important to understanding the practical issues of working with PHP 
and HTTPs.

Yup. You'd think that the browser developers would come up with a way to 
indicate this (mouse pointer turning to a lock when hovering over a submit 
button, etc.).

People outside cannot change their IP addresses to those used by machines
behind your firewall (unless they are in your building and your firewall
is horribly misconfigured). Well, they can change them but it serves
little purpose. Return traffic would not be routed to them.

The best they can do is spoof those addresses, but that's a one-way 
street: If you pass a token, they won't receive it, so you can easily 
ignore them.

On the other hand, the IP address issue doesn't really add any security 
here; it's the token.

Can you explain a little better what you're trying to do and what the 
symptoms you're observing are?

Well, the website use both port 80 and port 443.  The public access the
website freely, so blocking them is not an option beside they don't know the
true IP address behind the firewall for them to access the administration
website.  We don't have Intranet for the administration website to be used.
