[PHP] Passing Serialized Array via Hidden field

[aka MacGuru]

Hi,

I am need to pass serialized assotiative array via form hidden field 
(not GET or POST). In order to do it, I did the following: 
urlencode(serialize($my_array)). However, after retrieving data from 
hidden field and unserialize I've got junk.

Someone can explain me what I did wrong?

Also, do I need to do addslashes/stripslashes with serialized (or 
encoded ?) data?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

What does this mean? If you dont use GET or POST your form cant be
submitted.

[PHP] Re: Mail From option in PHP.ini

[Ivo Fokkema]

Hi,

Paul is right, you can't change the Return-Path header. On a windows server
you could use the 'sendmail_from' setting in php.ini, but that doesn't work
on Linux/Unix. Also, the -f 5th argument of the mail() function does not
function with safe_mode on in php. It also generates a
X-Authentication-error in the emailheader (for me, at least) and I am told
it can lead to dangerous security problems.

I gave up some time ago to try and fix this problem. When my emails don't
reach the target because visitors don't fill in their correct emailaddress,
I won't receive any delivery errors. I used Reply-To, Error-To and whatever
more, but I couldn't fix it. Maybe something can be added to a later release
of PHP to fix this? I for one would be extremely happy with that.

I am need to pass serialized assotiative arrays (qty of 3) TO form 
without GET, using hidden fields, but of course, I will use POST to 
acquire form data.

In order to do it, I did the following:
urlencode(serialize($my_array)). However, after retrieving data from

Yes, I did. I've got junk on my web page, because of special chars and 
sequences in "serialized" data.

Re: [PHP] Passing Serialized Array via Hidden field

[Jacob Vennervald Madsen]

Just tried it out and you should use htmlspecialchars() instead of
urlencode(). When you put it in a hidden field the browser is
responsable for urlencoding the data.

You would need to set 'SMTP' and 'sendmail_from' in your php.ini. The
'sendmail_path' doesn't work for Windows, so you can leave that blank.

Nothing else changes then...

Does mail() return true? I mean, do you get printed "U redu je"? If so, your
email should've been sent by PHP.

You are really missing a bunch of headers. I'm not sure if this is your
problem, but I think it's not a bad idea to include more headers, also
because more and more ISP's add some kind of spamfilter which might drop
your email. So maybe by adding more headers, you can solve this.

I use this:

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion()."\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n";

$body = "Whatever is in your email";

$to = "Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>";
$check_mail = mail($to, "Subject", $body, $headers);

$body = "Whatever is in your email";

$to = "Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>";
$check_mail = mail($to, "Subject", $body, $headers);
When PHP sends an email to a non existing email address such as 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], the warning mail you normally get returned often does not 
arrive in your mailbox. Therefore I add two additional headers:

."Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
."Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
and now I do get the notification mail when mail bounces.

That's funny, because I always had that problem, too. By adding Reply-To and
Return-path, it did not fix my problem. Boucing emails never got back to me.
Return-path was overwritten by my hostingserver to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and Reply-To
was apparently ignored by the server bouncing the email. Do you think
servers differ in this a lot?

Check your php.ini for this setting : 'register_globals'. With your new
installation, it is set to off, causing $_POST['name'] (the original
variable!) not to be registered to $name. With register_globals set to on,
you can use your first script.

I want to warn you though, PHP depricates the use of register_globals = On,
so it would be recommendable to use your modified script and keep coding
using $_POST, $_GET and these kind of global variables.

PostgreSQL cannot type cast the Boolean type so you have to use a case
statement, also changing like to ilike will get results regardless of
case.
SELECT , ((CASE WHEN (keywords ILIKE '%$search%') THEN 5 ELSE 0 END) +

I don't know how postgres server would optimize the query, but in teory 
there should be only a slight overhead as the (I)LIKE results should be 
cached. How much takes to order by depends on the number of rows returned.

I've never had the need to do this, so I cannot verify that this
works, but I believe you can supply a port number in the servername
argument:

mssql_connect('192.168.0.1:1433', 'someuser', 'somepass');

You can also define this in the FreeTDS "interfaces" file, I believe,
but again I'm not sure as I use the default port.

>can u give me some hints regarding the FreeTDS

Read this article, it helped me out immensely when I set it all up:

http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/alberto2919.php3

>if i used it then i have to confugure the DSN in liunx am i wrong?

Not sure what you mean here.  If you're referring to a Windows "Data
Source Name" then that is not really relevant on a Linux platform.  If
you have access to port 1433 on the SQL server all you need to do is
to download and install FreeTDS (follow the article above for help,
and when all else fails read the FreeTDS documentation), then rebuild
PHP with the "--with-sybase" option.  After you have done that you can
simply supply an IP address or hostname to the mssql_connect() call.

Give it a shot and if you run into problems I'd be glad to try an
answer any specific questions you may have.

This is off topic for this list but here goes...

SELECT * FROM tablename GROUP BY id_comp

[PHP] help with ad serving

[electroteque]

hi there my next project at work is to build an ad server for both image and
flash , i am storing each ad entry into a banner_ads table then another
table media to store each of the banners into which links to the banner ,
although in the created admin tool i allow for multiple uploads so a flash
file can be uploaded for the banner entry and a animated gif version can
also be uploaded for the banner entry , or just an animated gif banner
version , ok so when i select for a banner with a start and end date range
which is valid and is to be shown on a selected site id i grab the files
associated with it which are the flash and image, so in my while loop i end
up with to rows of results how would it be possible to display this and how
am i able to tell if the banner is a flash file with the animated gif
version of if the banner is just an animated gif and display it differently
? let me know thankyou

[PHP] How to..

[Haseeb]

hi,
i have heard a lot of people commenting about the coding style of other programmers. i think everyone has his own style. but i also say that there should be a standard that should be followed by everyone. i know that there are many good tutorials that explain how to code. anyway i have my own style. i like keeping all the functions in one file and the include the file whenever i need any function. now there are few problems  in that. i prefer writing functions for almost everything sometimes the functions file grows to over 5,000 lines. now this is not good. when ever i need one simple function i had to include all the file. now i also don't like keeping functions in every file that uses it. this is becoming a big problem for me. also i have seen some programmer that prefer to use only one file as front end and place switch or if conditions and include other files depending on the condition. i think its good way of doing things but when the magnitude of the projects grows i find it very difficult for me to keep working. i find it very hard to concentrate.
 
this is the problem, i have thought of the solution i.e. divide the functions into files. and then include only that file that has the function. but i thought i would ask you people how you handle this. may be i would find something that suits me more then this solution.
 
thanx in advance.
Haseeb

Hi Haseeb,

That's how I usually do it - for example, I have a file called
"dates.lib.php" which contains all my functions for handling dates and
times, a file called "db.lib.php" which has my database stuff, etc etc.

You may also want to look into classes, which provide a neat way to
compartmentalise your code. Personally I don't find them very useful unless
the project is large or has many programmers, though.

Whoa! Nasty and inefficient!!

I can understand if you decide initially to use a brute-force drop-in
replacement for register_globals, and leave modifying the rest of your code
until later, but really:

(i) Better:

// _GET
if (isset($_GET))
foreach ($_GET as $key=>$val)
{
$$key = $val;
}

(ii) Even better:

// _GET
if (isset($_GET))
extract($_GET);

Cheers!

Re: [PHP] constants

[Haseeb]

hi,
you can use constants whenever you want something whose value you don't want changed accidently.for e.g. i use a constant to keep track of the path.
if i am at the root level then i store "./" in it. and if i am one folder under the root then i store "../"  in it. now as i tend to name variables like this strPath (str for string) i often end up changing the value of strPath to something else in the script. to stop this from happening i use constants

It'll be different depending on what you want to happen if you pass a Friday
timestamp to the function, but it should be something like:

function friday($ts)
{

  while (date("w", $ts) != 5)
$ts -= 86400;

  return date("d-m-Y", $ts);

}

Actually, for this upcoming Friday, that'd just be

   echo(date('U',strtotime('Friday')));

Slightly confusingly, 'next Friday' would be the Friday after that (because
'next' is defined to be equivalent to '2nd' -- no, I don't understand why
either, I just know it is!!)

Re: [PHP] Auto session timeout

[Hardik Doshi]

Hi John,

Thanks for your response.

Actually i am thinking on the same way except saving
the URL of the page. You gave me a really good tip of
storing the URL with all other information.
Additionally, i was thinking to implement the "Save"
feature of MS word. So user can keep saving his/her
work after some period of time..

There is still one problem. On so many forms on my
education intranet application, students are
submitting the final projects with the supporting
documents and images. Once they submit the final
project, my script is performing serveral error
checking for the file size, extension etc. What should
i have to do for those kind of stuff? Because if
someone submits a very large file then my script won't
be able to upload the file (because of PHP file upload
limit set into the php.ini)

Let me know if you have any suggestion for improving
this functionality a little bit more.

Thanks again for your positive reply.

Take a look at strtotime() -- http://www.php.net/strtotime

Some combination of words using the word 'Friday' should get you what you want -- try 
something like strtotime('last Friday') ('-2 Friday', '-3 Friday', etc.,) to see if it 
does what you want; if not, you may need something like 'last week Friday', '-2 weeks 
Friday', etc., or some other more complex combination.

Cheers!

[PHP] File download by php header...

[Scott Fletcher]

Hi!

I'm using PHP 4.3.2 and IIS 5.0.  I'm using the PHP header to cause the
webserver to download the file to the web browser.  Some of the time it work
and some of the other time, it doesnt.  I haven't figured out why until I
looked in the error log which showed hte problem...   See two clipping
below.

It seems like $DownloadUpdateArray[$_REQUEST['dw_code']][1] takes so long. 
Or the previous code alwyas takes 29.9 secs, who knows.

You can tell php.ini that scripts can take some time longer dan 30 secs, or 
you can add a line to prolong the script time 
(http://nl2.php.net/function.set-time-limit) or you can try to make that 
function faster.

I have some extra headers to prevent several problems:

header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");   // Date in 
the past
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");  // always 
modified
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");   // HTTP/1.1
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
header("Pragma: no-cache"); // HTTP/1.0

header("Content-type: text/csv");   //adapt to 
your file type
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="filename.ext"');

Note that internet explorer 5.5 does not accept the 'attachment' part so 
for your header with 'attachement;' in it consider to add this conditional:
if (strstr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"],"MSIE 5.5")) {$att = "";} else {$att 
= " attachment;";}

So much confusion on mail.

Return-Path: inserted by all smtp servers on delivery.
Reply-To:handled by client
Errors-To:   Maybe handled by smtp server.

It doesn't.  Your script is taking over 30 seconds to run you will need
to find out why and where its taking to long or extend your time-out
setting.

btw, also on the content-disposition, not only will some browsers not
honor that, they will just use the name of the script as the 'save-as'
filename.

My first guess is that your problem comes from the fact that

From http://us4.php.net/pg_connect :

$dbconn3 = pg_connect ("host=sheep port=5432 dbname=mary user=lamb

Why not just add the From: header to the fourth mail() param? 
Something like this:

$email = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$admin_email = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$body = "blah blah blah";
$mail = mail($email, "Information you requested", $body, "From: $admin_email");

I've found that this sets the headers the way most clients expect to 
see them.  We use it a lot to tidy up emails set from "reset your

From: header based on a db result or whatever.

There is a much expanded version of this solution regarding sending 
emails with attachments through mail() on in the online php manual, 
check out "kieran dot huggins at rogers dot com"'s comments and some 
others on the http://us4.php.net/mail page (it's a 06-Nov-2002

I do a little of all three, myself.  But, it depends on the project.

If the project is small enough, a single function file will do.  I start
to segregate functions by category when I see logical divisions between
the functions.  (I.e. billing things, statistical things, etc.)  Then I
choose which function libaries to call based on whatever criteria I have
on hand -- usually user input.

Often it's simpler than that -- a project could have a "billing.php"
script that calls "functions-billing.php", and "stats.php" that calls
"functions-stats.php".  And if a particular billing function wants to
use something out of stats, it can simply include that library.

Another thing I've done from time to time (though I wouldn't recommend
it) is name your function library after a variable that's used to denote
the part of the program you're running in.  For example:

  if (ereg('^[a-z]+$',$sect)) @include("functions-" . $sect . ".php");

That way, you're basing your include on something that you're already
managing, perhaps as a form or session variable.  YMMV.  Don't forget to
do your sanity checking.  This method may be prone to security problems.

This is impossible. A hidden form field is simply a form field that is not
displayed to the user. Form actions must be GET or POST.

> In order to do it, I did the following: urlencode(serialize($my_array)).

Don't URL encode the value of the form field, since the browser will take care
of that. You should probably use POST rather than GET, because serializing an
array might yield a very long string and make the URL too large for the Web
browser and/or Web server to handle.

Hope that helps.

[PHP] need help with MySQL full text searching!!!!

[Angelo Zanetti]

Hi

I have a table which contains 3 fields (ID, Title, Abstract) the title and abstract 
fields have been fulltext indexes like this:

ALTER TABLE biblio ADD FULLTEXT (title,abstract);

that worked fine, however my problem is whenever I want to do a select statement only 
comparing 1 of the columns to inputted data ( in a Select statement):

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Biblio WHERE MATCH (title) AGAINST 
('$searchString')");

It gives me this error: Can't find FULLTEXT index matching the column list. It appears 
that i cant just compare a single fulltext indexed column if there are other fulltext 
indexed columns. When I try it with both columns then it works but I just want to 
compare 1 column. eg: 
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Biblio WHERE MATCH (title, abstract) AGAINST 
('$searchString')");

So is there anyway that I can just compare 1 column with text entered? Do I have t 
make some sort of temporary table to do this? All the examples I have found show the 
select statement with 2 columns or if they use 1 coumn its because there is only 1 
column in their table.

Any help would be appreciated!

TIA

Angelo

ps. sorry that this may be a bit off topic

Re: [PHP] Passing Serialized Array via Hidden field

[John Manko]

Just a small point, you can have both GET and POST.

-- search.html -





- page.php 
$sid = $_GET['sid'];
session_id($sid);
session_start();
$search = $_POST['search'];

Also, for those who don't know, you can even reference hash links


Hope that helps.

No disrespect intended, but this question gets asked every week. For a

you need to know: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general

You can shorten it down a bit:
if (isset($_REQUEST) ) {
  foreach($_REQUEST as $key => $val) {
$$key = $val;
  }
}

I'm not sure if session is there but I know the $_REQUEST has all GET,
POST and COOKIE vars. Of course this isn't completely compatible with
how register_globals works.  There is GPC ordering of where to get the
variables from.

$GPC = "GPC"
for($i = 0; i < strlen($GPC); $i++) {
  switch($GPC{$i}) {
case 'G': $VAR = '_GET'; break;
case 'P': $VAR = '_POST'; break;
case 'C': $VAR = '_COOKIES'; break;
  }
  if (isset($$VAR) ) {
foreach($$VAR as $key => $val) {
  eval("global $$key"); //make it global if this is in a function
  $$key = $val; //set value
}
  }
}

That's okay with the 'save as' filename because no one know hte real

You may want to try getimagesize(), as this is more consistent in
determining mime types.  That is what I wound up doing as it appears to
override the browser/platform idiosyncracies.

[PHP] CSV import

[jwulff]

When using something like this:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/tmp/phpKBjUWb' INTO TABLE `indoma` FIELDS
TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'

How do I also insert a field not in the CSV.  For example there are 8 fields
in the CSV and 9 in the table.  I want the ninth field to be the name of the
CSV file.  How do I do this?  Can't find any mention of it on mysql.com.

Re: [PHP] need help with MySQL full text searching!!!!

[CPT John W. Holmes]

I think you need to make a second index that just consists of the one column

ALTER TABLE biblio ADD FULLTEXT (title)

if you want to search on just that one column.

Subject: [PHP] need help with MySQL full text searching


Hi

I have a table which contains 3 fields (ID, Title, Abstract) the title and
abstract fields have been fulltext indexes like this:

ALTER TABLE biblio ADD FULLTEXT (title,abstract);

that worked fine, however my problem is whenever I want to do a select
statement only comparing 1 of the columns to inputted data ( in a Select
statement):

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Biblio WHERE MATCH (title) AGAINST
('$searchString')");

It gives me this error: Can't find FULLTEXT index matching the column list.
It appears that i cant just compare a single fulltext indexed column if
there are other fulltext indexed columns. When I try it with both columns
then it works but I just want to compare 1 column. eg:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Biblio WHERE MATCH (title, abstract)
AGAINST ('$searchString')");

So is there anyway that I can just compare 1 column with text entered? Do I
have t make some sort of temporary table to do this? All the examples I have
found show the select statement with 2 columns or if they use 1 coumn its
because there is only 1 column in their table.

Any help would be appreciated!

TIA

This is a MySQL question, first of all.

Second, you need to rename the column in each table to 'savedccactivity' if
you want to order the whole result by that.

(SELECT foo AS column FROM table1)
UNION
(SELECT bar AS column FROM table2)
UNION
(SELECT abc AS column FROM table3)
ORDER BY column DESC

[PHP] IE Issues

[Stephen]

Hello,

This is a little off topic but I do need some help. I have had IE 6 for
about a month now (just got a new computer in June and have been using IE6
since). When I first started running it, it was fine. A few weeks ago,
though, all my fonts have greatly increased and I have done nothing that
would cause this.

If I make a webpage that has  then IE will display the font
at size 3 or 4. I have no idea why either. I have put a default style sheet
on IE to make all the fonts a certain size but this is getting annoying
since only some are getting resized.

I have run the Accessibilty wizard on Windows XP Pro but it did nothing. For
reference, here is my accessibility settings in IE6:

http://www.melchior.us/ieissues/acc.gif

If I turn off the style sheet option, then here is what all the fonts look
like:

http://www.melchior.us/ieissues/font_big.gif

Now if I turn on the style sheet, this is what the fonts look like:

http://www.melchior.us/ieissues/font_small.gif

If anyone has any ideas how to fix this, please let me know! I've already
tried uninstalling and reinstalling IE but there was no luck. Please reply
soon.

I didn't see the original thread, but judging from the title, this is how
you'd do it:



And to retrieve:

$array = unserialize(stripslashes($_POST['serialized_array']));
(assuming magic_quotes_gpc is ON)

Notice your form method is POST, not both GET and POST. The HTTP request sent
after a user submits this form will be a POST request, even though you do have
GET variables. Try not to confuse GET/POST variables with GET/POST request
methods.

Is your text scaled? That's the only reason I think of.

View > Text Size > Medium (default)

You might be on Larger or Largest.

Ctrl-MouseWheel will increase or decrease the text size in an IE browser
window.  I've found that I've accidentally increased the font size since I
use the Mouse Wheel quite a bit.  (As well as CTRL-W to close an IE window
if one pops up)

[PHP] regexp help...

[Doug La Farge]

Hi all,

I have a string that for all practical purposes should probably be a 
list (array).  I need one line from the string and need to send the 
rest to /dev/null.

The string starts:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2003 01:34:12 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) mod_jk/1.1.0 mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6g
Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=mngtpma6i1;Path=/Interface
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1








 blah blah blah  



The String ends on the line above (white space line).

If I'm not mistaken the blank lines are actually a combo of unix and 
dos line returns.

any help is much appreciated.

thanks,

Maybe it was your brothers but definitely not a power surge. If a power
surge were to interfere with your computer in a negative way it wouldn't
change the size of your font in IE.

Do you have a scroll wheel on your mouse? Is it possible you pressed
Ctrl-Scroll up/down at the same time at any point? Probably. That's the
most likely situation. It's really a handy tool, try it out.

[PHP] can't restart session

[Chris W. Parker]

Hello,

PHP 4.2.2

I'm working on a cart program right now and I can't properly log the
user out. The only way I've been able to get a different session id is
by closing all browser windows and reloading the site.

Scenario:

I go the site I'm working on and click the login page. I have 'echo
session_id();' in the login page so I can see the session id. I fill in
my username and password and click "login". I'm then sent to a
processing page that actually fills in the session variable with some
data (i.e. username, session id, security level, etc.). I then redirect
back to the login page with header("Location: login.php");.

Now that I'm back at the login page I still see my session id (and as
expected it is the same). Then I click "logout" and am taken to a logout
page. The logout page is as follows:



Here is another version of the same file that I've tried using:




As far as I have been able to find out (by surveying other people and
RTFM'ing) I'm doing it correctly, but for some it's just not working.

After I click logout I would expect to be sent back to the login page
and see a different session id displayed, but instead I'm presented with
the same session id. The only way I can get a different session id is by
closing all the browser windows and starting over.


Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks,
Chris.
