Maybe something like this:
$fs = fsockopen("target.com",80);
fputs($fs, '
POST /index.html HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Host: target.com
Content-Length: 41
data1=value1data2=value2
');
Your script sends data to http://target.com/index.html
At the end you can do "location".
That is all you can do.

if your images are named like

and you have about 30 pics, do something like:

than the script itself is called with the number of the pic ...

If you have in one array "test" and in the other also "test"
(not "Test" nor "TEST" but "test") it must work.
By the way in
else echo "bad;
you have not got a quotation mark after "bad".

You can use HTTP authentication, but that's probably not what you want since you went through the trouble of creating a php login system. There are two ways you can go about this (there may be more that I'm not aware of): 1) Move your restricted HTML files to outside of the DOCUMENT ROOT of your webserver. And have PHP include() those files. 2) Set your webserver to interpret HTML files as PHP and include your authentication code using auto_prepend_file directive in php.ini. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* sticktion */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What is the API that is used to login to Unix / Linux. User may enter his username and password on the browser, but how do they get translated onto the Unix / Linux box?

Failed opening '/inc/inc2.php'
looks like that he try an absolute path from the root / ... maybe try something
like
include('./inc/inc1.php');
^^
instead. The "include_path" tells PHP only where to look for the file
. = same directory
.. = parent directory
if it is a single file or relativ path, but '/inc/inc2.php' is an absolute path
from the root ...

[PHP] mail function
I am trying to configure the php.ini file so that I can use the mail function in my code.

Thanks, Kevin. I've put a counter in place within my mail loop. It seems to
slow the process, but perhaps not too much. And thanks to Mark McCulligh for
describing a system for sending about 1500 messages that's called with a
cron tab and writes to a db after each mail. And thanks to Chris Hayes for
pointing to relevant list archives. My system seems to be working, but it's
so slow that I'm going to look at using a cron tab and saving everything to
a database for easier reference in case of failure mid-list.

If elements are only being added with [], then you should be able to keep a count as you go. Easy way would be to add it like this: $array[$x++] = $your_value; Then you'll have ($x-1) as the element just added, if you need it. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

mhhh ... wait ... don't you wrote
test/
|- testinclude.php
|- inc/
|- inc1.php
|- inc2.php OK
wich means that "testinclude.php" includes "inc/inc1.php"
and "inc/inc1.php" includes "inc/inc2.php" ?
the include is like a copy of the code from
"inc/inc1.php" into "testinclude.php" so that in the
first sighth it might be correct to call "inc/inc2.php"
instead of "inc2.php".
But maybe the parser of PHP 4.3.0 is rewritten so that it
now parse it bottom up. That means that first the inclusion
of "inc/inc2.php" into "inc/inc1.php" will happen which
fails cause its in the same directory.
... I tried it on my server ... all went Ok ... strange ...
insert something like into inc1.php and inc2.php:
\n";
echo "\n";
$folder=dir('inc');
// print out folder "inc"
while($datei = $folder->read()) {
echo "$datei\n";
}
$folder->close();
echo "\n";
?>
maybe did it head anywhere else or did it show something like
inc included
inc included
.
..
inc1.php
inc2.php
.

inc1.php
inc2.php

Re: [PHP] authentication
I don't think the process is an extra step at all. In fact, it's just a
trade off using one or the other. You can either login using php and a
database backend or just authenticate using .htaccess directives.
In my case (a few months back) what I was trying to do was offer up a
single login page for 500 or so different companies each having their own
directory on my server. Each directory is password protected via
.htaccess. They would all login using my php interface which would in turn
check the username and password for matching. Their database record would
also contain the URL to their directory on my server. After logging in I
tried to use a header call containing the username, password and URL but
it never quite worked although you can actually do it in the address bar
of the browser with ease. Theoretically it should work like a charm but I
never got the chance to investigate any further because I was rushed off
to the next "Big Project."

Not clever, just a gross kludge, but nothing ever went wrong with it. It also dealt with the Australian Income Tax complications which go as follows: 1. Income tax for employees is levied on the wages earned in cash through the year, there is no account of earnings accrued through an incomplete pay period at the end of the financial year. 2. Every 11 years a person on fortnightly pay will have 27 pays in the year and consequently higher earnings for that year. The ATO require that the fortnightly pay as you go deductions be adjusted to take that into account. Complicated? If bullshit was weaponry the Australian Govt would have disarmed Iraq alone years ago. Bob -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

hey!
this is the code I'm using to get into array all filenames in a directory:
$mydir = mydir //the directory name
$output_file = fopen($data_file, "w");
$begin = "");
fclose($output_file);
chmod($output_file, 0777); //to preview
echo "the list has been succesfully created";
now, how can I make the script to look into subdirectories of ./$mydir/
and output also those filenames into the same or another array?
thank you
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
An easy way would be to to convert your code to a function and use
recursion with an is_dir conditional.
Here is a quick example, there are also a few examples in the user notes
at the PHP manual for opendir or readdir.
function lsdir($dir) {
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
while false !==($filename = readdir($handle)) {
if (is_dir($dir . '/' . $filename)) {
lsdir($dir . '/' . $filename);
} elseif (is_file($dir . '/' . $filename) && $filename != '.'
&&
$filename != '..') {
// file display code here
}
}
closedir($dir);
}
}
I did not run the above code, just typed it for an example so the code
itself may or may not work but the concept will work.

ups ... dont use the default md5() function cause it is not equal to that of

Re: [PHP] exec
Hi Nick, PHP's execution commands like exec will execute the program as the user your web server is running as (generally someone like nobody or www), in order to get it to execute as someone else the program needs to be setuid. Running programs as Root setuid is generally considered dangerous and should only be done when absolutely necessary. If you create a root setuid program that your web-server can run anyone with the ability to place scripts on your server can execute this program. There has been a lot of discussion about this on this list before, if you search the archives you will find more information. Additionally try searching google for setuid.

Thanks, Kevin. I've put a counter in place within my mail loop. It seems to
slow the process, but perhaps not too much. And thanks to Mark McCulligh for
describing a system for sending about 1500 messages that's called with a
cron tab and writes to a db after each mail. And thanks to Chris Hayes for
pointing to relevant list archives. My system seems to be working, but it's
so slow that I'm going to look at using a cron tab and saving everything to
a database for easier reference in case of failure mid-list.

[PHP] GET HEADLINES FROM ANOTHER SITE
I´d like to know how to get certain headlines from another site. I already got the permission from the site owner, but I'm short on the programing. It would be something like, get the source code from the url: www.url.com and then remove all the html, and get only the part that I need. Does anybody can give a hand? Thanx, Rodrigo.
[PHP] Security question with PHP on Unix / Linux.
Hi, I mailed this earlier, but got no response. Maybe it went unnoticed. So, resending it again. Please read below. Your help in this is appreciated. Thanks, Ananth. Hi, I am working on porting PHP onto NetWare. I am newbie to Unix / Linux systems and at this point of time, I am trying to understand the way security is implemented for PHP on Unix / Linux. I mean, how are the different users distinguished from Unix / Linux. Do they get to login into the Unix / Linux system? Do they have separate data space for each user? What is the API that is used to login to Unix / Linux. User may enter his username and password on the browser, but how do they get translated onto the Unix / Linux box? Since I am a newbie, I may have misunderstood some concepts here. Can someone help me in understanding this correctly? Also, can you point me to any documentation on PHP security on Unix systems. I want some in-depth technical stuff upto what calls are made etc. Your help in this is appreciated.

Seems to me that's the most straight forward solution, easiest to recover from, easier for someone following your footsteps to work on later, and is what db's are for..

[PHP] Is my syntax wrong?
Hi,
The following code is giving me a "parse error, unexpected T_STRING."
$inc_current_ad = WrapMySQLDatabaseResults("macasap", "update ads where
ad_id = '.$current_ad->Value("ad_id").' set
rotate='.$current_ad->Value("rotate")+1.'",
"block=0","inc_current_ad");
It's supposed to increment the value ad_id in the ads table. The
current_ad action works fine and correctly retrieves the right record.
I suspect I have a problem with my quotes?

I'm not sure how the speed of flat file access compares to MySQL access; I assume for simple stuff flat file reading/writing is faster. Currently my system does use .txt files to store/record standard message intro text, standard exit text, reply-to name, reply-to address, list of addresses that failed, the actual contact list (which is pulled from a remote MSSQL server each time email is sent), and a counter of mail attempts generated while looping through the email list (thanks, Kevin). But if I do a version with a cron tab I'll store in MySQL instead, since speed really wouldn't be much of a factor for a process without user involvement, and for me it would be easier to manage. -- Lowell Allen -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

There is no login to the Unix / Linux. You might write one on your own, if you wish, but that would be your thing.

Whatever inputted to the broswer, is send to your script. Stays up to you to decide what to do with the user/pass. Basically, you would usually store the credentials in a database and then authenticate the users against the database, not Linux Shell itself. > Since I am a newbie, I may have misunderstood some concepts here.

Yep. If you want to break out of your string to include you're variables,
then use double quotes.
$string = "insert my " . $variable . " here";
not...
$string = "insert my ' . $variable . ' here";
The error is being caused because of the double quote in Value("ad_id") is
being seen as the end of the string.

Re: [PHP] Security question with PHP on Unix / Linux.
Ananth, For starters, you are probably on the wrong list - the PHP developers list is probably where you should be asking this question. Second, PHP runs through the web server, so the user is the same user the web server, usually "nobody", although that depends on the how the web server is installed. No one is encouraged to all access to the underlying system through the web server, although the exec() function allows execution of some commands. I can't help you much more than that, and I believe the other list will be more fruitful.

As it is, the best test time has been 0.186 seconds per email, and the worst has been 0.847 seconds per email (from about 4-1/2 minutes to about 19-3/4 minutes for 1400 addresses). I just *assumed* it would take longer to write to a db; I should compare. I certainly agree it would be easier to manage recovery from mid-list failure with everything stored in a database. -- Lowell Allen -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Problem with include PHP 4.3.0
Goetz Lohmann wrote :
wich means that "testinclude.php" includes "inc/inc1.php"
and "inc/inc1.php" includes "inc/inc2.php" ?
Right. I'm sorry, I didn't modify testinclude.php as you suggested, but
inc1.php. With a modified testinclude.php:
I get:
Failed opening './inc/inc1.php' for inclusion \
(include_path='.:..:/usr/local/php-4.3.0/lib/php')
Seems it doesn't like './' ("inc/inc1.php" is OK). I think that since
the name begins with '.', PHP tries to find a file in the working dir,
which is null (see below).
insert something like into inc1.php and inc2.php:
\n";
echo "\n";
$folder=dir('inc');
// print out folder "inc"
while($datei = $folder->read()) {
echo "$datei\n";
}
$folder->close();
echo "\n";
?>
Unfortunately, this gives nothing. I guess this is because pathnames of
files are relative to the working dir. There are only two variables,
PATH and TZ in the environment of my Apache server, but nothing about a
working dir: cwd() returns an empty string, and so does `pwd` or `ls`.
Relative pathnames of included files are apparently resolved through a
special way, unless they begin with '.' or '..'. But this is not clearly
described in the documentation, and it's a bit confusing.

The problem is your addition, you need another set of paranthesis around the
whole operation.
This will produce your same error:
$test = "the value is " . $c+1 . " dollars";
whereas this won't:
$test = "the value is " . ($c+1) . " dollars";

this is very strange cause I got it working with "./inc/inc1.php" and with
"inc/inc1.php" ... "/inc/inc1.php" fail cause its searching the file in the

if a file is parsed, all include files a relativ to this parsed file.
with phpinfo() you could read the document root in the "PHP Variables"
section which might look like
PHP_SELF /phpinfo.php
_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] /usr/local/www/htdocs
...
_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] /usr/local/www/htdocs/phpinfo.php
_SERVER["SCRIPT_URI"] http://www.yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php
...
_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] /usr/local/www/htdocs/phpinfo.php
...
a "." mean working dir and ".." mean parent dir
echo exec('ls');
should print out not a empty string but
testinclude.php
and
echo exec('pwd');
should print "/usr/local/www/htdocs/tests"

[PHP] Help Needed
Hello All:
My question is related to authentication. I have made a login system
using PHP Sessions and MySQL. Once the user gets authenticated on the
website I want to be able to allow him to see some html pages on the
website. Only users who have logged in are able to see such a files. I
have asked this question before , but still I have some doubts.
My code will check for:
if (session_is_registered($valid_user))
{
/// display the reqd page
}
else {
DISPLAY ERROR MESSAGE and ASK USER TO LOGIN
}
How should I display the page ... the page has a lot of html code and
trying to write echo " blah blah blah . ";
will not be a an option. Please suggest a way out .
Many Thanks

Not sure you can, especially not for the "just doesn't work" scenario.
FWIW, you can test for the existence of a file before including it:
if (file_exists("file/to/be/included")) {
include ("file/to/be/included");
} else {
include ("backup/plain/HTML/file");
}
but that doesn't cover all the bases you asked about. I'd certainly be
interested to hear any solutions to this one :-)

Re: [PHP] Is my syntax wrong?
I think we are almost there. This code is not producing an error, but
it is also not incrementing the database. The value stays at zero. Any
idea what could be wrong?
$inc_current_ad = WrapMySQLDatabaseResults("macasap", "update ads where
ad_id = ".$current_ad->Value("ad_id")." set
rotate=".($current_ad->Value("rotate")+1), "block=0","inc_current_ad");
Other queries of the same db on the page are working, so it's probably
not a configuration/connectivity issue.

include returns false on failure and here's a hack to
demonstrate. Once you implement your own error
handling, be sure to set error_reporting accordingly
or supress with @.
if (!include('foo.php')) {
if (!include('static.html')) {
print 'ut oh, this is serious.';
}
}
Be sure to read about PHP's error handling capabilities to
do something more useful and/or create your own error
handling functions/system.

Either loop through it with fgets() or simply use
file() and use the required array elements (lines).
Most likely using fopen/fgets() will be more efficient
as you won't need every line but file() is just so easy
to use. Although really this problem doesn't sound
very efficient to begin with, you may want to rethink
the logic here or ask your content provider for a RSS
version of the content or something...

Re: [PHP] How to get a certain line from a file
Real easy. Assuming you've read the data of the page into $data:
$data = ""
$line = $data[36];
Just replace 36 with whatever line number you want.

Please post the exact syntax as you did not as the
above will provide a serious parse error. To test
if a value exists, do:
var_dump($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
Or phpinfo(). Now, going off a guess, try:
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/foo.php';
The following will NOT work in 4.3.0 as there
is a bug when using the following syntax:
echo "$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']";
echo "Er, $iam['inastringand'] buggy in 4.3.0";
Note that the above gives a parse error in 4.2.3,
a bogus E_NOTICE error in 4.3.0, and will work (no
parse error) in 4.3.1. Now, the following always
works:
echo "{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}";
echo "So {$i['willalwayswork']} yeah!";
Note: We are specifically talking about using arrays
within strings where the array key is quoted.

Philip
P.s. Autoglobals, such a $_SERVER, became available in

Assign your query ("update ads where ...") to a variable, print it out, check
whether it looks good, _then_ plug it into WrapMySQLDatabaseResults().

Depends on what database server you are using. Here it is

Note that the above gives a parse error in 4.2.3,
a bogus E_NOTICE error in 4.3.0, and will work (no
parse error) in 4.3.1. Now, the following always
works:
echo "{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}";
echo "So {$i['willalwayswork']} yeah!";
Note: We are specifically talking about using arrays
within strings where the array key is quoted.

Philip
P.s. Autoglobals, such a $_SERVER, became available in
PHP in PHP 4.1.0

Re: [PHP] testing if a query was successful
As quoted from the manual: "A non-FALSE return value means that the query
was legal and could be executed by the server. It does not indicate anything
about the number of rows affected or returned. It is perfectly possible for
a query to succeed but affect no rows or return no rows."
Always test your query with the assumption that you will return a non-FALSE
value. This is an important lesson to learn as it is more robust and can
save you from quite a bit of frustration. For example..
$result = mysql_query("SELECT... ") or die("Invalid query: " .
mysql_error());
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0)
{
echo "Query executed but no rows were selected.";
exit;
}
$result = mysql_query("UPDATE or INSERT or DELETE... ") or die("Invalid
query: " . mysql_error());
if (mysql_affected_rows() == 0)
{
echo "Query executed but no rows were affected";
exit;
}

Re: [PHP] HTML if no PHP
1) Include file not found:
if (file_exists($incfile))
include($incfile);
else
include ($error_html_file);
2) Error in file:
global $php_errormsg;
$php_errormsg = null;
@include($incfile);
$err = $php_errormsg;
if ($err)
echo "The include file $incfile has an error: $err";
The trick is to put an "@" before the include which will hide the error
(even if it's a critical one).
However, in case of a critical error, your script will silently be aborted.
Thus here's a solution to cature these cases:
3) Include and execute capturing critical errors:
$hf = fopen($incfile, 'r');
if ($hf) {
$buffer = fread($hf, filesize($incfile));
fclose($hf);
}
if ($buffer) {
global $php_errormsg;
$php_errormsg = null;
@eval($buffer);
$err = $php_errormsg;
}
The rest goes as above. The "eval" statement will gracefully handle any
critical error that would bring your script to an immediate halt in case of
@include.
HTH :)
