Serialization is done automatically. You don't need to do it yourself. 
You can even store simple value-objects in the session witout manual 
serialization.

So you can do:
$val_ar = array("one", "two", "three");
$_SESSION['val_ar_store'] = $val_ar;
serialize/unserialize are useful if you want to store complex data in a 
file or in a database.

Re: [PHP] Meta refresh best answer ??

[Ing. Ivo F.A.C. Fokkema]

Hi Michael,

I always use

header('Refresh: 2; url=' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

to reload the current page every 2 seconds. You may want to pass $_GET
variables, depending on your needs. Also make sure you call this function
_before_ any other output has gone to the browser.

HTH,

Ivo

[PHP] in_array not operating as 'expected'

[Ing. Ivo F.A.C. Fokkema]

Hi guys and gals,

I'm not screaming "Bug! Bug!" but this _does_ look 'illogical' to me. I've
searched the archives, but found no earlier conversation. Sorry if
I missed it. Consider the following code:

var_dump(in_array('test', array(0)));

What does this return? I expect bool(false), but it returns bool(true).
After some searching the web, I bumped into this:
http://www.phpdiscuss.com/article.php?id=67763&group=php.bugs

Basically, it is said by derick [at] php.net that this behavior is
expected. The following code :

var_dump('test' == 0);

also returns bool(true). But my logic tells me, that if 'test' == 0, then :

if (0) {
  ...
}

should do the same as 

if ('test') {
  ...
}

but it doesn't! The first if-statement is _not_ executed, the latter is.
In my opinion, this is not correct. Any thoughts on this? Am I not seeing
the logic here?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Re: [PHP] Sub selects vs nested loop

[electroteque]

Hi guys and girls, while we are on this topic, has anyone got a good 
senario of a sub select query which can remove the nested loops ? I 
have been wanting to get rid of nested loops for a good while and now 
Mysql 4.1 is out I would like to start using it. So the usual scenario 
for nested loops to to get data out of a 1 to many relationship. Please

Ok ... the server I'm dealing with works for both services.
But let me re-explain the question in new terms.

I have a bunch of php scripts on a web server.
I just wanted to know if it is possible to deny access
permissions for some of such scripts to a public user
but not to other scripts staying on the same server.

For Apache, I found it in $_SERVER['HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE']; if IIS passes
it to PHP, I would definitely expect it to be in $_SERVER[].

[PHP] using mysql in php problem

[Garth Hapgood - Strickland]

I have created a registration page
http://www26a.your-server.co.za/matchm/registration4.php

On this page I have many fields, some of them pulling data out from my
database. I have a javascript validation scipt thats checks on submission of
the form to see if all required fields are filled in correctly.
IF thats the case it should submit the form. Which it isnt doing! It should
start with submission after the validation check is passed.

Then I check to see whether the BusinessName & BusinessOwner already exist,
if not then I am trying to to an insert (which it doesnt do either). Here is
the php code:
$errmsg = "";


$business_query = "SELECT BusinessName, BusinessOwner from business WHERE
BusinessName = '$BusinessName' AND BusinessOwner = '$BusinessOwner'" ;

$result = mysql_query($business_query);


if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {$errmsg .= "You are already registered at
Match Makers";}

else {

if (isset($submit) == "Register Now"){mysql_query("INSERT INTO business

PreferredEmpowermentProfileID, DateRegistered, MarketSourceID)

VALUES

('" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['business_name'] . "', '" .

$city_town, $province_desc, $street_code, $postal_address, $postal_code,
$website_address, $industry_desc, $industry_other, $product_service,
$business_age, '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '',)");


$id = mysql_insert_id();


if ($telnumber1 <> '') {mysql_query("INSERT INTO business_communication
(BusinessID,CommunicationType,Destination) VALUES ( '" . $id . "', 1, '".
$HTTP_POST_VARS['telnumber1'] . "')");}

if ($faxnumber1 <> '') {mysql_query("INSERT INTO business_communication
(BusinessID,CommunicationType,Destination) VALUES ( '" . $id . "', 2, '".
$HTTP_POST_VARS['faxnumber1'] . "')");}

if ($cellnumber1 <> '') {mysql_query("INSERT INTO business_communication

}

}

I am not sure where exactly I am going so wrong, and it really is starting
to drive me crazy!

It's still not clear what you are describing/asking.

I'll assume that by 'public user' you mean via FTP. If so then most ftp 
servers will allow you to restrict access to specified directories.

My question is -- if I want to keep a user up to date about changes to 
any information they might want to know would it be best to create a 
hidden frame of some sort which does a mete-refresh to a page looking 
for updates, and if found display a java popup window with a small FYI 
?
Refreshes can be done with header() in PHP, and with .
There's also JpSpan (XmlHttpRequest), which means that a javascript (be 
you're aware that some users may not have it enabled) can query the 
server to retrieve information and act on it.

http://jpspan.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku.php?id=javascript:xmlhttprequest
If so would a meta-refresh of 3-5 seconds be to aggressive ? What 
about server load ?
If you want to ask the server for new data every 3 seconds, it doesn't 
matter which way you do it, the server will have to respond with 
something.  The answer to server load is to buy more hardware, and 
optimise the ___k out of your code, mark-up, and queries :)

I see. In that case though this is not a php problem. This is a problem 
about setting the right permissions on your file system - for which you 
will need to refer to the documentation for chown and chmod. Your FTP 
server may also have what is known as a 'chroot'  mode where users will 
be prevented from browsing outside their home folder.

Having said all that we had a big discussion about a month ago on 
protecting scripts on a shared server and the generall consensus was 
that there is always a loop hole.

You will do yourself a great service by punctuating indenting your code

..snipped ..

The best thing to do is to liberally douse your code with 
error_log(mysql_error()) statement you will then start seeing error 
messages in your log (or your browser depending on your config) about 
what's going wrong.

As has often been pointed out echoing out the queries produced by your 
php script and running them through the mysql client usually helps too.

Hi Garth,

Looks like it's time to do some fairly standard debugging. 

Try putting error_reporting(E_ALL) at the top of the page in question. It
may be that you're currently missing out on helpful error messages because
E_NOTICE messages are suppressed by default.

Also, try assigning your SQL statements to a variable and echoing them and
them copying and pasting them directly either into the MySQL command line
client or via the PHPMyAdmin SQL tab, if you have the package available (or
via any other client that allows you to run SQL against your server which
might report more verbose errors than your installation of PHP has been set
to do).

Ie something like:

$sql = "INSERT INTO business_communication
> (BusinessID,CommunicationType,Destination) VALUES ( '" . $id . "', 1, '".
> $HTTP_POST_VARS['telnumber1'] . "')";

echo $sql;

mysql_query($sql);

...and so on, for each of your SQL statements.

Essentially, you're trying to make certain that the variables you've
populated from your form actually contain the data you expect. It's entirely
possible that one or more of your variables isn't populated correctly, and
this is causing your statement(s) to fail, without an error being reported.

No need to go any further at this stage then. If your Javascript is not
doing/allowing the form submission then you need to check that code, no
point looking at the PHP code if it's never being called.

Have you tried commenting out the Javascript validation and submitting the
form? If the form then gets processed (by the PHP code) post your problem to
a Javascript list/forum for advice.

[PHP] Re: in_array not operating as 'expected'

[Ing. Ivo F.A.C. Fokkema]

Thanx both of you,

I know the type-casting bit and have noticed the third parameter which
'fixes' the in_array issue. I just missed 'test' == 0 implied (int) 'test'
== 0. Typecasting a string to integer indeed returned 0. Typecasting is
of course not necessary within if statements, resulting in my confusion.

Thanks again,

Ivo

Instead of 

"Session also store ID on the harddrive"

a more correct wat to put is is

"Sessions store ONLY an ID on the [user's] harddrive".

All other information you store in the session is placed in the
webserver. The user has no direct access to it. This is how it differs
from using just cookies (where all of the info is stored in the user's
harddisk)

[PHP] help with fopen path

[Giles Roadnight]

Hi All
 
I'm developing a fusebox PHP app and have a class in a /classes
directory that opens an xml file in a directory below the site root
using this path: "../siteconfig.xml"
 
All of the places I have used this class from so far have been in the
site root. I am now starting some pages in a sub directory. When I use
this class it says it can't open the file. I have tried
"../../siteconfig.xml" instead but it doesn't work either.
 
What's the best way to go about fixing this? I'm quite new to php and
I'm not sure where the relative path is taken from - i.e. is it the
index.php page or the class (obviously not) or my switch file or what?
 
Hope someone can help.

Re: [PHP] Why cookie is created?

[ankur_os]

I just want to give you a simple example that for diff. of session and cookie is
that---

When in our gmail account we will see that one option is there to save the
password for 2 weeks, so that eans when u check that bbox and submit then one
cookie is created for that comp. with your details nand the expiry time would be
for 2 weeks (by converting insec.).

And when u r in checking of your in box just copy the contents of address bar
and then closs all the windo and again paste the address bar link it will sshow
you the login page because your inforation is stored in seession.So when a page
starts it first of al it check the session.it will check the session id from
your co. which is not set when you logged out

FOR SESSION  == " A visitor accessing your web site is assigned an unique id,
the so-called session id. The session support allows you to register arbitrary
numbers of variables to be preserved across requests. When a visitor accesses
your site, PHP will check automatically (if session.auto_start is set to 1) or
on your request (explicitly through session_start() or implicitly through
session_register()) whether a specific session id has been sent with the
request. If this is the case, the prior saved environment is recreated. "

//s

I'm not sure if I understand you. Do you want the complete tag with all 
attributes? The above regex already provides this data in the first 
index of the matches-array. Or do you want to explicitly fetch the width 
and height of an image tag. Then you just need to replace "src" with 
"width" or whatever attribute you want in the above regex. You can also 
read multiple attributes with one regex but then you are limited to a 
specific attribute order. So it will not work for pages which are not 
under you control.

A better solution is to do it in multiple steps:
1. Match the complete tag: //s
2. Match the attribs in the tag: /(\w+)="(.*?)"/s
3. Iterate over the matches of step 2 and search the attribute you need.

[PHP] MySQL

[Octavian Rasnita]

Hi all,

Please tell me how to send a null string to be inserted in a MySQL database.

If I do something like:

$string = null;

mysql_query("insert ignore into table(field) values($string)");

It gives me an error.

In fact, I have multiple fields to insert, and the error just tell me that
was an error at ... and prints the variables I want to imput and I don't
know what could be the problem.

Do I need to addslashes(), or what else?

Thank you.

Not really, no. Maybe with a meta refresh tag or some JavaScript even

Pass a string value of 'NULL'.

Ie INSERT INTO table (field) VALUES (NULL);

Or, in your example:

$string = 'NULL';
mysql_query("INSERT INTO table (field) VALUES ($string)");

You can use output buffering. Then it doesn't matter where you call 
header(). But if you do a redirect you should clear the output buffer 
before doing so to prevent that the output which has been done so far is 
send to the browser.

[PHP] Directory Entries

[Dave Lampron]

Hello I'm having problems with the following code:

if (! ($dp =  opendir($imagesdir))) die ("cannot open $imagesdir.");
while($file = readdir($dp))
{
 if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
 {

 ///Second test doesn't seem to catch sub-directories under $imagesdir
  if(is_dir($file)) / This is not evaluating properly!!!
  {
   echo "";
   echo $file;
   echo "Directory";
   echo "";
  }
  else
  {
   echo "";
   echo $file;
   echo "";
   echo "Filesize: ";
   echo filesize($file); / This is not evaluating properly either!!!
   echo "";
  }
 }
}
closedir($dp);

echo "";
?>


Can't figure out why this doesn't work. I was thinking perhaps that it might
be directory permissions but that doesn't make sense. It would seem to me
that the ($file = readdir($dp)) is not returning any file attributes perhaps
just text. I could swear that I'v used this same routine to achieve these
results.


Any help appreciated!!

Use an absolute path, or if you know your current working directory prepend 
the relative path.

[PHP] POST losing SESSION vars?

[Sam Smith]

I have a page that will be redirected to a login page if the SESSION var
'authenticatedUser' is not set.

The page has a form in it.

When the page is loaded http://thePage the authentication works fine. When
the submit button is pressed it doesn't. With POST it acts as if the
required session var is not set.

When redirected to the login page the login page DOES recognize the the
session var and redirects back to the first page a logged in user would
usually see.

formPage.php
 ";
header("Location: index.php");
}
...


?>


index.php


In other words the same page should load after the submit button is pressed
but instead the authentication is redirecting.


Thanks for any help.

Pass your session along with your form action...

i.e

$s = SID;
echo "

Just a thought:
If your referencing a file within a PHP script that is included/required
within another script the path should be relative to the 'parent' script.

I am guessing that if you make reference above the site root (using ../../)
the site root will be assumed.

If you have access to the web server config try setting up an alias
such as /config which points to the directory containing your config xml
so that your scripts can reference "/config/siteconfig.xml" from any
directory.

[PHP] silly question - setting .php as default extension (Apache)

[Brian A. Anderson]

Uuuuh... Where do I set the default server extension type to .php in the
apache config? Right now the page will execute on my server, but if there is
an index.php the server won't automatically open it, but instead browses the
directory.

Thanks in advance,

Look for DirectoryIndex in httpd.conf and add index.php

OR

On my Apache2/Linux installation I had to uncomment a line in :
/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf

Please tell me how to send a null string to be inserted in a MySQL database.
If I do something like:
$string = null;
mysql_query("insert ignore into table(field) values($string)");
This will result in the following SQL query:
insert ignore into table(field) values()
If you output a NULL-String then it's just an empty string. That's why 
you get an error. You have to insert the string NULL into your SQL 
statement. But I'm sure you don't want to hardcode this. You want to 
insert a real string if it is set and you want to insert NULL if the 
string is not set, or not? Then you may try this:

mysql_query(sprintf("insert ignore into table (field) values (%s)",
  is_null($string) ? "NULL" : "'$string'"));

Do I need to addslashes(), or what else?
If the string comes from user input and PHP is not escaping it 
automatically then you want to use this.

Your probably looking for the DirectoryIndex directive.

Apache 1.3.x

Re: [PHP] help with fopen path

[James McGlinn]

Hi Giles,
I'm developing a fusebox PHP app and have a class in a /classes
directory that opens an xml file in a directory below the site root
using this path: "../siteconfig.xml"
All of the places I have used this class from so far have been in the
site root. I am now starting some pages in a sub directory. When I use
this class it says it can't open the file. I have tried
"../../siteconfig.xml" instead but it doesn't work either.
What's the best way to go about fixing this? I'm quite new to php and
I'm not sure where the relative path is taken from - i.e. is it the
index.php page or the class (obviously not) or my switch file or what?
You might want to set your global parameters (such as the full path to 
class files) in a config file which is auto_prepend'ed to each PHP 
script.

That way you can always require_once( $GLOBALS['classPath'] . 
'/class.YourClass.php' ) regardless of your working directory.

RE: [PHP] page redirect question

[Zareef Ahmed]

Hi,

   Alas there is no any other way to redirect the page without sending
headers in PHP. 
You may use javascript for this purpose.

Well it is matter of programming practice.
We must do processing before presenting the content to users.
It will be helpful in many situations.

So instead of doing 

1.Draw header
2. Draw middle bar upon user input and according to business logic.
3. Draw footer

We Must Use
1. Make Business logic and process user input  and  do required task
such as redirection
2. Store result of step 1 in any entities like variables.
3. Draw Header
4. Make Middle bar using set entities.
5. Draw footer.


This is just a overview of approach. You may need to process more things
along with middle bar, but it is good idea to do logical  processing
before presentation.

Hi,

Is there anyway to redirect php page other than using
HEADER("LOCATION:URL") ?
Header can only be called if nothing is written to HTML... Is there
anyway around it?

Thanks,

[PHP] Do You Need addslashes() When Using Bind Variables

[Francis Chang]

Hi,

I'm using the Oracle database though I think this question is generic to all 
databases.

If you're using bind variables and preparing the SQL statements ahead of 
time, do you still need to call addslashes() before binding the strings to 
the bind variables?

Thanks in advance.
