[PHP] Sessions and subdomains issues
Goodmorning all, My application (a third party customized cms) shares sessions across the main site and the two subdomains - or at least it should I have 'php_value session.cookie_domain ".mysite.com" and'php_value session.cookie_path "/" all set in htaccess The sesions are stored in a db and are not functioning correctly across the subdomains - example: if i log in at the main www domain then go the subdom1.mysite.com i am not logged in there. The subdomains have their own db's but share tables for sessions and some other stuff with the main site. As it's a third party app i can be no more specific unless someone would be kind enough to tell me what to look for or what info to provide. So, here is my question: * Are there any "common pitfalls" you can think of that i should look at? * Have I set the domain and path correctly for this to work? any help in regard to what direction to take to track down the problem would be really appreciated, much thanks for you time... -- Nick W -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

A couple things:
'article.php' will have to become just 'article' for the above to work
(unless you can do rewriting, but you indicated that you don't have
access to your httpd.conf file). The directions for doing that are
above; just substitute 'article' for 'index' in the area.
Second, you have to map the placement of each argument in the PATH_INFO
to a variable. So, based on the url you just provided, you'd do
something like this:
$pi = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']; // Grab PATH_INFO; this will look
// like /file/XXX/year/ based on
// your example above
$pi = substr($pi, 1);// Remove the opening slash
$args = split('/', $pi); // Create array of arguments
for ($i = 0; $i < count($args); $i + 2) {
$key = $args[$i]; // Grab variable name from even-keyed
// arguments
$val = $args[$i + 1]; // Grab value from odd arguments
$$key = $val; // Use dynamic variable assignment
}
Basically, with PATH_INFO, YOU have to do the work of determining where
items in the url map to variables for your script.

What you can do is create a symlink for article.php - ln -s article.php article That way you'll edit and upload file as 'article.php' and apache will see it as 'article'. This also solves the problem whereby some editors does syntax highlighting based on the filename's extension. A filename of 'article' has no extension and hence no highlighting (unless you manually set it each time you load and edit the file). -- 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 -- /* * BenC wonders why he has upgraded to 3.3.5-1 before teh X maintainer */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Trouble with do..while
Hi all,
I have that script in php that should print on a page the result of lot of
pages defined in this way:
This is the address: www.mysite.com/mypage.php?idx=1&lines=50
It work in this way: if idx=1 and lines=50 my page will look like:
element1
element2
..
element50
if idx=5 and lines=5 my page will look like:
element5
element6
element7
element8
element9
Changing everytime the idx i have new pages so, thats are my variables:
$idx = "www.mysite.com/mypage.php?idx=";
idx_n=1;
$lines="&lines=50";
I let the variable $lines still to 50 and i'll increase $idx_n of 50 for
show all elements i need.
do {
$link = $idx.$idx_n.$lines;
$idx_n=$idx_n + 50;
$f=fopen($link,"r");
$data = "";
do {
$stream = fread($f, 8192);
if (strlen($stream) == 0) {
break;
}
$data .= $stream;
} while (true);
fclose($f);
$data=substr($data,strlen($DontNeed),strlen($data));
$pos=stripos($data, $TillHere);
$data=substr($data,0,$pos);
here I clean the $data variable of things I don't need.
echo $data;
} while ($idx_n < 156700);
My trouble is that this "do..while" never keeps all elements.
Generally $idx_n break with value=1601 or 1301 but never show all elements
and its like the script crash cause everything I can write after isnt'
showed.
I simply tried to write after "while" an echo "Its Done"; but isn't showed.
And in the html file that is generated aren't printed neither the tags
for close the file.
Simply it crash.
Do someone have some ideas about it?
I would really apprecciate some words about it cause I'm not able to think
at any solutions..
Just..that maybe is something with server? Isn't able to provide so fastly
all requests?

[PHP] installing php 5.02 and Apache 2
Hi all, I have installed Apache 2 under Fedora Core 2 and now I would like to install PHP 5.02 as a server module. I have downloaded and unpacked PHP 5.02, and I think that I need to run ./configure now but I don't know which parameters I need to add. I have added --prefix=dir --with-mysql=dir --with-curl But I want to add many other modules I might need. Do I need to specify the entire list of modules in the command line? Or how can I create and choose a config file? And please tell me what option do I need to install the Apache 2 module. I have seen some parameters in the ./configure --help instructions for installing the module for Apache 2, but I saw that that module is only experimental. Isn't there a working module for PHP 5.02 and Apache 2? And do you know where the Apache 2 module is put after installing php? (in order to specify it in httpd.conf). Thank you.

[PHP] Image wrapper not multithreaded
Hi,
I wrote a script for a webcam overview that downloads images form
different locations like this:
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($imgurl);
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($image);
?>
I call it a few times inside an html file like this:
The Problem is that this does not seem to be multithreaded. The pictures
load one after the other, not all at once. This makes the page loading
process take forever (there are quite some pics on that page). Also some
seem to get a timeout so they don’t load at all... but that a different
prob.
First I thought it might have to do with the number of allowed open
sockets but that’s not it, imho.
I don’t have a clue why this happens, or how to stop it.
Thanx for you help in advance.

Are you using sessions? If yes, then the session file is locked for
access and each instance of getcamimage.php has to wait for previous one
to finish and unlock the session file. You can however call
session_write_close() to end the session after you don't need it anymore.

Re: [PHP] How to get 2 columns to display?
You need a way to make new table rows...
if you want to do it ever other image, then just add a counter variable,
incrememnt it each time and if it is even then make a new table row.
(Also if the images are two big, the browser may put them on a new line, so you
might have to look into shrinking the images..)

With register_globals enabled, the problem is not with the $_POST, $_GET etc
variables (although yes you should always validate data when they come from
untrusted sources). The problem is that malicious users can pollute your
namespace and if you do not initialise variables properly before using them
your application can be compromised.
For example, you have a flag ($admin) which you set to 1 if the person logged
in has admin privileges. If you don't initialise $admin and only do something
like ...
if ($user == 'admin' AND $password == 'password') {
$admin = 1;
}
// later in your code
if ($admin == 1) {
echo "Hello admin";
} else {
die ("Go away");
}
... it is all too easy for a malicious person to access your protected page
like so:
http://www.example.com/admin-page.php?admin=1
and they would have admin privileges.
If you had initialised $admin to some known, safe value before using it then
you have no problems.
So either of these would be fine:
$admin = 0;
if ($user == 'admin' AND $password == 'password') {
$admin = 1;
}
// or
if ($user == 'admin' AND $password == 'password') {
$admin = 1;
} else {
$admin = 0;
}

RE: [PHP] Making variables with an iteration?
I might be wrong but I don't think you can reference variable names in that
way. You probably need something like this:
for ($j=1, $j<5, $j++)
{
$tempChoice = "choice" . $j;
$$tempChoice = $_POST['choice'.$j];
}
And that should create your $choice1.. $choice2 etc.

Hey all, Thanks guys, I didnt know about any "short_open_tag" setting, I guess I'll just stick to my regular style coz i have no idea how the client/s php is setup plus if I move my own stuff to a different host it may not be so kind...

[PHP] Making variables with an iteration?
I've got some inputs, which I need to tie down to only have 4 come in from. The
javascript to verify it is working somewhat, however I want to create the
parsing script to loop through the inputs (choice) and then dump them into
$choice1, $choice2, $choice3, $choice4 respectively.

You have a typo in your code. You are typing $i instead of $j. You
should write instead:
$choices.$j= $_POST['choice'.$j];

So what do you get when you run that? Strawberry sundae with chocolate on top?

Re: [PHP] Sessions in Frames...confused
PHP, and it's sessions, knows absolutely nothing about frames. A frame is just another page, the browser just happens to display it inside of another page. From a session standpoint, you should treat each frame as an independent page.

You should always give the full error message which would include the line
number. Furthermore you should always point out which line of your code is
the line number in question.

echo ${"choices$j"}, NL;
Please note that using variable variables isn't recommended. Using arrays
makes the code much clearer. I believe that you 'chose' to use variable
variables because you had to do some processing in Javascript, read
manual > PHP and HTML
to see how to handle PHP's array naming conventions under Javascript.

Why not just use extract() on the $_POST values with a pre-defined
list of variables and use the EXTR_IF_EXISTS option to make it more
secure?

You've got too many iterators in there.
With $i=1, if $_POST['choice1'] is set: you set $choice1 to the value of
$_POST['choice1'].
With $i=2, if $_POST['choice2'] is set: you set $choice1 to the value of
$_POST['choice2'], then you set $choice2 to the value of $_POST['choice2'].
With $i=3, if $_POST['choice3'] is set: you set $choice1 to the value of
$_POST['choice3'], then you set $choice2 to the value of $_POST['choice3'],
then you set $choice3 to the value of $_POST['choice3'].
Etc.
Within your PHP script, I'd strongly recommend using an array, even if you
don't name your HTML form variables as array elements (which is actually
very easy, despite what a lot of people seem to think). Then your code just
needs to look like this:
for ($i=1; $i<10; $i++)
{
if (isset($_POST['choice'.$i]))
{
$choice[$i] = $_POST['choice'.$i];
}
}
foreach ($choice as $one_choice)
{
echo $one_choice;
}
Cheers!

[PHP] Strange behaviour with PHP on Apache
Hi there, For the first time since my server is running I got some strange behaviour today without changing something before. Users trying to access my php-scripted websites (different projects) got a 'download' message instead of the site (as if the site (.php) was a downloadable file (e.g. .tgz or something else))). After restarting apache2 the problem was gone for about 2 hours, but then it came back. As first reaction I visited my log files instantly, but nothing looked different there. After it came for the second time, I restarted the server by 'init 6' and it is gone since then. As this is a production server, I cannont leave this one to chance. Maybe one of you has an idea what could cause this problem. (Low diskspace? Bad configurations?) I'm not sure if this is the right list to ask this, please point me to a better place if I'm wrong! And here is my configuration: PHP 4.3.4 on Apache 2.0.49 Suse Linux 9.1 Confixx 3.0 Pro Confixx ./configure: './configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--datadir=/usr/share/php' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--libdir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--with-_lib=lib' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/lib/php/bin' '--disable-debug' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sigchild' '--disable-ctype' '--disable-session' '--without-mysql' '--disable-cli' '--without-pear' '--with-openssl' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2-prefork' 'i586-suse-linux' Thx a lot in advance.

[PHP] Strange File Download Problem
Ave, Alright... Firstly thanks to everyone who's been trying to help me out. I've been doing a lot of research and finding out a lot of things. The problem is definitely very clear... I need to convert the Dynamic URL to Static URL because, as discussed earlier, Microsoft manages to screw up the Dynamic part of URL's and thus problems occur. To remind of what's going on.. I run an Apache Web Server on my PowerMAC G5 Macintosh system, and run my websites on it. I have a "Force-Download" download script that allows registered users to Download Files assigned to them. What has been happening is, when the "Save As" dialog box opens, if you hit "Save", everything goes well - the file is saved to your desires location, you can open and view it, HOWEVER, if you hit "Open", it opens the associated application (eg:- Adobe Acrobat Reader) but fails to open the file, instead gives an error "File Could Not Be Found". This is what I did: Added into my Apache's httpd.conf the following: ForceType application/x-httpd-php So that anything begins with www.mydomain.com/download will call my 'download' script. I put my force download script in a file called "download" in the root directory. Now my URL, instead of looking like http://informed-sources.com/download.php?F=imsafm/rjohari/ccq.pdf looks like: http://informed-sources.com/download/imsafm/rjohari/ccq.pdf In my Download Script, I was using $F as the variable which contained the File Path & File Name to be downloaded. I replaced that with $_SERVER[PATH_TRANSLATED¹] ... It works! Accept, it works the same way it was working before. You click the link, the SAVE AS Dialog box opens.. If you hit Save, the file is saved and can be opened... HOWEVER, if you hit OPEN, it opens the associated application and gives the same error. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Rahul S. Johari

$distoffice0405 is kosher.
$0405distoffice is not.

Work out what this does by hand, step by step:
$i $j
1 1 $tempChoice = 'choice1'; $choice1 = $_POST['choice1'];
1 2 $tempChoice = 'choice2'; $choice2 = $_POST['choice1'];
1 3 $tempChoice = 'choice3'; $choice3 = $_POST['choice1'];
1 4 $tempChoice = 'choice4'; $choice4 = $_POST['choice1'];
1 5 $tempChoice = 'choice5'; $choice5 = $_POST['choice1'];
2 1 $tempChoice = 'choice1'; $choice1 = $_POST['choice2'];
2 2 $tempChoice = 'choice2'; $choice2 = $_POST['choice2'];
2 3 $tempChoice = 'choice3'; $choice3 = $_POST['choice2'];
2 4 $tempChoice = 'choice4'; $choice4 = $_POST['choice2'];
2 5 $tempChoice = 'choice5'; $choice5 = $_POST['choice2'];

This is bad. Every time the for() loop iterates, the count() function
gets called again unnecessarily. Better to do:
$count = count( $choices );
for ($i=0; $i < $count; $i++)

Variables can contain numbers, but the first character after the $
must not be one.

On the contrary, with register_globals enabled, the problem *IS* with $_POST, $_GET etc variables being polluted! That is the very definition of the problem register_globals was designed to solve. Turning register_globals OFF simply corrals the pollution so that it's *ONLY* in $_POST/$_GET/$_REQUEST/etc instead of automatically being spewed throughout the global name space of all variables. If you blindly walk through POST/GET, or use extract on them, or do something that turns *EVERY* POST/GET entry into a variable, you might as well turn register_globals ON -- Otherwise, your OFF setting is only providing you with a false sense of security, which is worse than no security at all. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Using split here is a bad habit. explode would work fine, and is faster.
Speed is probably irrelevant in this case, as you are only doing it once
per script. But bad habits are bad habits.
Also, you might want to use:
www.mysite.com/article/file=19911/year=2004/
Then you can do:
$args = explode('/', $pi);
$PATH = '';
while (list(, $arg) = each($args)){
$keyvalue = explode('=', $arg);
switch(count($keyvalue)){
case 0:
# do nothing for '//' in URL
break;
case 1:
$_PATH[$arg] = ''; //The arg is there, but has no specific value
$PATH .= "$arg/";
break;
default:
$variable = $keyvalue[0];
unset($keyvalue[0]);
$_PATH[$variable] = implode('=', $keyvalue);
break;
}
}
Here's why I find this useful:
1. Instead of relying on position to know what variable is what, I can put
my URL parts in any order.
2. I collect all elements with no specific value in $PATH -- This allows
me to more naturally define a directory (EG to a JPEG) in my URL:
http://example.com/scale_image/width=50/height=50/path/to/my.jpeg
You have to watch out for bad data in $PATH, of course, but I always use
relative pathnames, and check for ".." etc.
3. I allow for the case that an '=' is part of the value.
4. I store all my PATH_INFO inputs in a $_PATH array which is then treated
the same as $_POST or $_GET etc -- It's untrusted data, coming from the
outside world.

You may want to use:

or http://php.net/return
I will not guarantee that either will work, much less do what you want,
which I don't really understand in the first place.

Anyway the way I see it is that the original intent of register_globals (and it being enabled by default in older versions) was a feature so that people can work 'directly' (as it were) with the request variables instead of having to use $HTTP_POST_VARS['myvariable'] etc. It was only when people realised that it could be a liability that is now disabled by default. > Turning register_globals OFF simply corrals the pollution so that it's > *ONLY* in $_POST/$_GET/$_REQUEST/etc instead of automatically being spewed > throughout the global name space of all variables. > > If you blindly walk through POST/GET, or use extract on them, or do > something that turns *EVERY* POST/GET entry into a variable, you might as > well turn register_globals ON -- Otherwise, your OFF setting is only > providing you with a false sense of security, which is worse than no > security at all.

If it's GET, you can do:
$html =

or die("Couldn't get URL");
If it's POST, Google for "function PostToHost" and you'll find source code

The biggest pitfall is people using public computers and checking "Remember Me"... I know, that sounds really dumb to you, but they do it. If this is their bank account, I sure wouldn't do "Remember Me" (at all) If it's not all *that* crucial... The other consideration is if their computer is physically accessed/stolen. Put it this way: Assume the worst-case scenario, and that sooner or later, somebody is going to abuse "Remember Me" to get to somebody else's data. [Because it *WILL* happen.] Is this going to be a big problem? If so, don't provide "Remember Me" If you don't provide "Remember Me" you should allow users to pick their own usernames, as much as possible, and to set their own passwords.

Re: [PHP] Strange Download-File Problem
Ave, The error is "The File Could Not Be Found". Don't know if you got my latest mail regarding this issue, but I did things a little differently but still the same result. This was my last post regarding this issue: Ave, Alright... Firstly thanks to everyone who's been trying to help me out. I've been doing a lot of research and finding out a lot of things. The problem is definitely very clear... I need to convert the Dynamic URL to Static URL because, as discussed earlier, Microsoft manages to screw up the Dynamic part of URL's and thus problems occur. To remind of what's going on.. I run an Apache Web Server on my PowerMAC G5 Macintosh system, and run my websites on it. I have a "Force-Download" download script that allows registered users to Download Files assigned to them. What has been happening is, when the "Save As" dialog box opens, if you hit "Save", everything goes well - the file is saved to your desires location, you can open and view it, HOWEVER, if you hit "Open", it opens the associated application (eg:- Adobe Acrobat Reader) but fails to open the file, instead gives an error "File Could Not Be Found". This is what I did: Added into my Apache's httpd.conf the following: ForceType application/x-httpd-php So that anything begins with www.mydomain.com/download will call my 'download' script. I put my force download script in a file called "download" in the root directory. Now my URL, instead of looking like http://informed-sources.com/download.php?F=imsafm/rjohari/ccq.pdf looks like: http://informed-sources.com/download/imsafm/rjohari/ccq.pdf In my Download Script, I was using $F as the variable which contained the File Path & File Name to be downloaded. I replaced that with $_SERVER[PATH_TRANSLATED¹] ... It works! Accept, it works the same way it was working before. You click the link, the SAVE AS Dialog box opens.. If you hit Save, the file is saved and can be opened... HOWEVER, if you hit OPEN, it opens the associated application and gives the same error. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Rahul S.

Be sure you provide a path whenever you provide a time to setcookie.
Various versions of IE are badly broken and ignore the time part unless

Re: [PHP] Magic-quotes
Jeff McKeon wrote: > Does having magic-quotes=on prevent an attacker from using a urlized sql > inject query? Not likely. Magic Quotes is a convenience feature, not a security feature. Magic Quotes is oft-understood, even by journeymen PHP programmers. Magic Quotes takes all incoming POST/GET data and calls http://php.net/addslashes on it before you see it. The assumption is that MOST of the POST/GET data you are getting, you want to put into your database. The downside is that if you are doing something with that data other than putting it in a database (EG: re-displaying it to the user, or logging it in a file, or...) you'll need to call http://php.net/stripslashes on it, to undo the Magic Quotes. If *MOST* of your incoming POST/GET data isn't actually going into a database, turn Magic Quotes off. If you want portable code, write a function to check Magic Quotes on/off, and call addslashes only if it's off. The thing that always kills me is when programmers call stripslashes on data that comes *OUT* of MySQL. No, no, no, no. Whatever it is you did, or think you are doing, or think you are fixing, that's WRONG. Maybe you called addslashes twice, once with Magic Quotes, and once "by hand" and that's how the data in the database got screwed up. Or maybe you just don't understand WHY addslashes does what it does. But calling stripslashes on data coming OUT of MySQL is WRONG. MySQL "eats" the 'extra' apostrophes when the data comes 'in' through your SQL statement. There are no apostrophes to strip after the data was been sucked into MySQL. If there *are* apostrophes you don't want in that data, you screwed up already getting the data in there. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Page that checks if a user exists on a remote system
Richard, Very good point, and you are correct, I am not looking to hire an army and spend tons of time and money on it. I have since rethought this, thanks in part to this thread. I have decided to go with something more secure. Since I have a database of users already for the site on ServerA, I will just set up a cron job on ServerB that runs a script that queries that database and then adds, edits, removes users accordingly. That way the access of the shell is being done always by a trusted system only user. I will put an extra table in my database called something like "user_email_account_management_requests" and the remote script with check that for any tasks it needs to do. Thanks again to all those who helped me with this. I have learned quite a bit and enjoyed it.

That sounds like a nice hint.

Somewhat... till someone comes along and changes your php.ini, or you transfer your code to another server and forget to enable magic quotes. At which time everything is open to the sky.

You're right, of course. I should have explicitly stated that this only applied to the zillions who have Magic Quotes on, call addslashes before putting data into the database, then have extra slashes in the database, then call stripslashes when they get data out of the database. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Here's what's wrong with this plan:
#1.
You are exposing the fact that you use MySQL to users. So malicous users
don't need to figure out that you are using MySQL: They can just start
trying all the MySQL things to break into your server.
As a general rule, you do not want users to know what software/version you
are running.
While this does fall into the "security by obscurity" category, which is
generally not "good" there are compelling arguments for making it harder
for the bad guys to figure out what software you are using.
#2.
They won't.
Oh, sorry.
The USERS will *NOT* email your message to the webmaster. Oh, some will.
Most, however, will email your webmaster with oh-so-usefull messages like.
"I was on your website, and I got an error message, and it's broken.
HELP!"
Put the details you need to debug your software in a place where you
webmaster can read them, no matter what the user does to mangle, shorten,
or otherwise ruin the message.
http://php.net/error_log is good for this.
#3.
It's just Bad Form to tell users a bunch of crap they don't understand,
don't care about, and can only be puzzled by. The message the users see
should be more like: "Website down for maintenance. Please try again
later."
The error messages you need to FIX the site are in the Apache log (or your
own logfile) where they belong.
There might be some exceptions to all this -- If you have only one or two
admin people, whom you trust to actually copy &paste the error messages
and send them to you, displaying them on those admin screens is not so
bad. That user is probably your client who already knows what software is
in use (or can find out easily) and isn't likely to sabotage their own
site, and can maybe be trained to do the right thing... OTOH, logging to
a file and giving them a message they understand ("Something broke. Call
Rich and tell him what you were doing.") is probably better anyway.

[PHP] Parsing multiple XML documents as strings. Inbox
Hi, We worked with Sablotron before but switched over to the libxslt library on PHP5 to perform XSL transformations. We used the wrapper code found on http://be.php.net/xsl so that our old xslt_ functions continued to work. Now, with Sablotron we used to parse multiple XML documents as strings and one XSL file from disk. With libxslt it doesn't seem possible parsing XML documents as strings. This is the old method which worked fine, using Sablotron: $args["/list_docu"] = "some xml"; $result = xslt_process($xh, 'arg:/_xml', 'arg:/_xsl', NULL, $args, $params); This node could then be access with XSL: When I run this code using libxslt/PHP5 and the wrapper I get the error: Warning: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "arg:/list_docu" This is because the XML documents must be saved on disk I guess. Isn't there any way to load the XML documents as strings??? Grtz, Bart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Random data loss.
With out posting any code I was wondering if anyone here has been experiencing this kind of problem. I have a standard web from that PHP code then reads and saves the data into a MySQL DB. The problem is some of my users have had data lost somewhere in this process. The web site is www.thewishzone.com. It is a wish list site and the data that seems to be getting lost is the price of an item a user adds to their wish list. I can't seem to duplicate it here. However one user did have it happen twice in a short time period. They enter a valid price and after the record posts the price goes to zero. Any ideas?

RE: [PHP] Random data loss.
Could be a problem of multiple update modules for the same table. When I've encountered this problem in the past it's been one of two causes. 1. In the process of maintaining the table one routine that has no price information, retrieves the row and notices that the something needs to be changed, and instead of only updating columns that have changed it seeks to update all of them (perhaps satisfying one programmers sense of order), and since it has no price info, it replaces the price with zero (good rule IMHO; only update columns that you know need to be changed). 2. Update queries that did not specify all the appropriate where clauses, thereby updating multiple rows, and perhaps in this case updating with zero prices (perhaps contributed to by coding all elements as above). (a rule that I apply to myself, not necessarily quite as good as the previous rule, use artificial keys [auto increment fields] and update with unique [or a list of] artificial key in the where clause). One nice thing about auto increment primary keys is they are self locking in that no two insert rows can get the same artificial key, even if the insert occurs at the same time (at least in MySQL). Take a look at the text in your actual queries and read them over and over, the answer is there. Don't consider this an exhaustive list, there are lots of people out there more clever than I coming up with new ways to loose data every day. But this is where I would start.

The web site is www.thewishzone.com. It is a wish list site and the data that seems to be getting lost is the price of an item a user adds to their wish list. I can't seem to duplicate it here. However one user did have it happen twice in a short time period. They enter a valid price and after the record posts the price goes to zero. Any ideas? pretty hard to tell with this information. What you might want to do, is to call the error_log() function with the insert query that is being executed. That way you will have a record of each query that has been executed. (if you have a software that can analyse your mysql binary log, it could serve the same purpose). You could then look at these queries to see if there is anything suspicious. You could also have a bit of code that tests the value of the price variable in each page and mail you all the env settings if price happens to be zero that way you would have a chance of reproducing the problem.

[PHP] inserting html within a mail body
Hi, I am using the mail() function in php andI am looking for a quick and easy way to make the mail_body of an auto response email with HTML tags in it so I can add some style to it. Are the use of CSS tags possible too? Any suggestions will be much appreciated Ross -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi! The PHPs manual page on the mail function shows an example of sending HTML mail. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php I've also attached it below: Birthday Reminders for August Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!

I don't know your wrapper class, but it's perfectly possible to load XML documents from strings: see http://ch.php.net/manual/en/ref.xsl.php and http://ch.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocument-loadxml.php for further details. chregu > > Grtz, > > Bart > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- christian stocker | Bitflux GmbH | schoeneggstrasse 5 | ch-8004 zurich phone +41 1 240 56 70 | mobile +41 76 561 88 60 | fax +41 1 240 56 71 http://www.bitflux.ch | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | gnupg-keyid 0x5CE1DECB -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] searching with mutable criteria
I am having a problem with this script what it does is write the sql
needed to search for data based on mutable criteria. It works fine if
you search with all the different fields but if you only search with
one or two of the fields it creates a sql that looks like this
SELECT * FROM listing WHERE state = 'WA' AND LIMIT 0,5
It adds the AND before the limit if you use all three fields it does
not add the AND. How can I change this so it will not add the AND if
there is only a search on one or two of the fields
$cond = "AND";
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM listing ';
if($_POST["state"] != "" || $_POST["types"] != "" || $_POST["county"] !=
""){$sql .= "WHERE ";
if($_POST["state"] != ""){
$sql .= "state = '". $_POST["state"] ."'";
if($_POST["state"] != "" || $_POST["types"] != "" || $_POST["county"] !=
""){$sql .= " $cond ";}
}
if($_POST["type"] != ""){
$sql .= "types = '". $_POST["types"] ."'";
if($_POST["state"] != "" || $_POST["types"] != "" || $_POST["county"] != "")
{$sql .= " $cond ";}
}
if($_POST["county"] != ""){
$sql .= "county = '". $_POST["county"] ."'";
if($_POST["state"] != "" || $_POST["types"] != "" || $_POST["county"] !=
""){$sql.= " $cond "; }
}
)
$sql .= " LIMIT " . $from . "," . $max_results;
echo $sql
