Just remember there must be nothing else in the php file before 
session_start(); not even blank lines.


and have a look if your php is set to display errors, they may give you

Hi,

I try to make a more detailed example of the problem.

In attached file has a complete simple example.

./ServerTeste
./ServerTeste/classes
./ServerTeste/classes/Personnel.php
./ServerTeste/classes/User.php
./ServerTeste/wsdl
./ServerTeste/wsdl/WSDL_Gen.php
./ServerTeste/wsdl/generate.php
./ServerTeste/wsdl/User.wsdl
./ServerTeste/personnel.php
./ServerTeste/user.php
./teste.php
./User.wsdl

To make it work just copy to /var/www or other path. Change the permission of 
files to apache users write files. Change the line 10 from 
file ./ServerTeste/wsdl/generate.php to point to your webserver and path. 
Execute this file and copy the new ./ServerTeste/wsdl/User.wsdl 
to ./User.wsdl. Now point yout browser to 
http://youraddress/yourpath/teste.php.

You see the OK, the soap work. 

The problem is with this file: ./ServerTeste/classes/User.php

This is the code that work (without inheritance):



But, when I active the inheritance:



I received this error:

SoapFault exception: [Client] looks like we got no XML document 
in /var/www/bioma/WSTest/teste.php:5 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: 
SoapClient->__call('checklogin', Array) 
#1 /var/www/bioma/WSTest/teste.php(5): SoapClient->checklogin('c', 'c') #2 
{main}

I dont find what is the problem? It is with inheritance?

Thanks for all explanations.

Disable the mail() function bit in your code that processes the FORM
submission.



you could also use a cool class I once found, google/search for 
phpmailer, it has a nice bit of code that allows you to connect directly 
 to a smtp server, so you can bypass the php mailer function.


what can also to do is write all the info your about to email to a log

[PHP] Join table with clashing fieldnames

[Kris Leech]

I have an SQL query which has a simple join, this works and is fine the 
fields from the secondary table are added to the returned array. But 
what happens if I add another JOIN to a table which has fields which are 
the same name? Is there any way to have PHP prefix the key's 
(fieldnames) of the joined fields?


Many thanks, Kris.

You'll need to create an alias for the conflicting fields.

SELECT
 Table1.ConflictingField AS Table1_ConflictingField,
 Table2.ConflictingField AS Table2_ConflictingField
FROM
 Table1
INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table2.FK = Table2.PK

Or something like that.  Just doing "SELECT *" isn't best practice[1].

thnx,

I wasn't aware of the existence of an include_path...
That's why I was having a strange behaviour. It
doesn't look for the files in one only one place.
Instead, it looks for the files in possible places
(defined by include_path) using a priority for that.

Right?

tedd,

Does Daylight Savings alter Zulu time? (I'm guessing "yes"). How did the
military deal with that?

I use a date-time field as a primary key in db tables that get an insert a
minute. I had to jump through a number of hoops to turn off DST on the (RH
Linux) server.

[PHP] access to DB and security

[Alain Roger]

Hi,

My web hoster gave me a login and password with which i can connect to DB,
perform some actions as DB owner / superuser just for my DB.
If i use this login + password to connect and perform some actions from my
web pages, everybody can hack my DB and do what they want.

My web hoster will not give me some particular role/user with which user can
only execute some stored procedure but can not administrate my DB.

therefore, how can i make my web pages users connect to DB (with my
administrator login and password) and run some stored procedure without
risking to see my DB hacked ?

thanks a lot,

Alain

I used to get a zillion of these things...

Not quite sure who was ever dumb enough to run the attached

You can save yourself a LOT of headaches by utilizing the ever-popular

Same thing again for "$from" or any other variable going into your
headers.

In the body, there's less risk, which is good, as there's almost no
way to validate what is or isn't junk body.

E.

That's almost-for-sure just going to make your Open Relay work faster
and better for the spammer, rather than actually shut them down.

You can log the email you are about to send just as easily either way.

Though phpmailer *MAY* have sanity checks for the data input that stop
the spammers -- that's not been described within this post.

There are several options here...

One is to switch to a host, perhaps a dedicated host, where you DO
have multiple login roles.

Another is to structure your web application in such a way that only
trusted users at the web/PHP level are allowed to do anything other
than call a stored procedure.
E.g., for normal users, the query MUST look like:
preg_match('/^call [a-z0-9_]+\\s*\\(.*\\)$/imsU', $query)

Still possible: an sql-injection attack in the arguments in .* bit of
that PCRE.

But you could/should be filtering that much earlier on in the process
anyway.

I know there are other options, but it's hard to express anything
sensible until we know what the rest of the application logic and
business process and authentication model looks like...

If anybody on the planet can call any stored procedure in your DB at
any time, I suspect that's not a whole lot better than just having
wide-open access. :-)

So, for now, it's not well-defined enough of a question to provide
more answers.

Hi,

My web hoster gave me a login and password with which i can connect to DB,
perform some actions as DB owner / superuser just for my DB.
If i use this login + password to connect and perform some actions from my
web pages, everybody can hack my DB and do what they want.

My web hoster will not give me some particular role/user with which user 
can

only execute some stored procedure but can not administrate my DB.

therefore, how can i make my web pages users connect to DB (with my
administrator login and password) and run some stored procedure without
risking to see my DB hacked ?

thanks a lot,

Alain



That is quite a normal setup and unless you have your own server, that's 
what you normally get on a shared host so we all live with that.


Your database access information should be in an include file which all web 
pages should be able to access internally, but which is not accessible from 
elsewhere.  Usually, you would have a ~/www or ~/htdocs directory which is 
the public root of the web site and will be seen from elsewhere.  The 
include file with the database access data should be in some ~/somethingelse 
which is not accessible to the public.  Furthermore, if this file has a .php 
extension, its contents won't be visible (unless it does echo something), 
even if it is within the public directory.  Finally, in that include file I 
usually return an opened global db connection and do not set variables with 
this DB access information, just produce the opened connection.  That's as 
far as preserving the DB connection data.


As for preventing abuse of the opened connection, that would be through "SQL 
injection" and under that subject you will find lots of literature just 
googling around and plenty of messages on this very list.

Stut wrote:
This is a question of design, not a question of whether to use OOP. 
For example, in several of the sites I maintain I have classes that 
inherit from a base class called Table. The base class provides a lot 
of the basic methods for working on a table (think ActiveRecord). It 
also has static methods for doing things like updates and deletes 
based on a where clause. The derived classes can override filter 
methods (AfterLoad and BeforeSave) to massage the data after it's 
loaded and before it's saved. They also add any methods needed for 
acting on that particular entity.


I'm the first to admit that OOP is not always the best methadology to 
use - the 'best methadology for all situations' does not exist. 
However, the general feeling people will get towards OOP from this 
list seems to be 'OOP bad, anything else better'. OOP is great as long 
as you follow OOD principles and have a fair amount of common sense. 
It should not be used just because it's there, but it should also not 
be dismissed.


In fact, in writing that I've just realised that OOP is not the key... 
OOD is. OOD can be applied (with no syntax or compiler assistance) in 
a functional system which will have great benefits, all of which I 
think most people are aware of but, for whatever reason, fail to 
adequately apply - which is where OOP can be useful since it enforces 
the structure and protection through the syntax (PHP4 sucked for this, 
PHP5 is better).


When you actually think about it, OOP is not a methadology - it's a 
syntax. OOD is the methadology. Ramble... ramble... ramble... over!


I know this is a fairly old thread, but I thought people might be 
interested in reading a write-up I've recently finished regarding my 
Table class and it's usage. I had been intending to write it for a 
while, but a request from Ed Lazor kicked me into actually doing it. 
Don't expect the quality to be too high - I'm more used to writing 
requirement/functional specs and user documentation than this type of thing.

Since a compressed file isn't the same as a gzipp'ed file I'd guess this

This might:

[PHP] Gmail / RSS accessing from script

When I put it in the web browser, it acts like it is supposed to.  But when
I try and script it, it returns a 401 unauthorized error.  I get the same

Basically yes, the only other trick missing in your example (being utterly 
paranoid) would be to avoid using variables to hold the db information since 
those variables, if they are global, will persist all through the web page 
in which this file is included.  Use literals instead so no vital 
information ever leaves that include, except for the live connection.


$db =mysql_connect('host', 'user','user_pwd',false,CLIENT_MULTI_STATEMENTS)

Perhaps that is what you meant by indicating "$host", which otherwise is a 
pointless construct, since "$host" expands to $host evaluated as a string, 
which probably is, anyway.  I usually use single quotes instead of double 
quotes for fixed literals so I clearly tell the interpreter that it doesn't 
need to bother looking for variables or escape sequences to expand; unless, 
of course, if I meant to have variables or escapes in them.

[PHP] php.ini and .htaccess not working for php parameters

[James Tu]

I've setup a few directories under my dev server's webroot...one for  
each project.
Under each project directory, I put php.ini files to set parameters  
such as include_path.
For some reason they are not taking effect.  Do I have to enable them  
somehow?
phpinfo() tells me that Server API is Apache, so that means PHP is  
running as a module not as CGI right?  So php.ini only works with PHP  
running as CGI?


I tried to use an .htaccess file instead and that didn't work either.

In my httpd.conf I have set

Options All
 AllowOverride All



Before, when I was using php.ini, i was getting an error from my  
include command...basically saying that it couldn't find the file.


Now that I'm using the .htaccess, I don't see any PHP errors, I put  
some print statements just to see where things go wrong.


include ('class.datetime_utility.php');
print "hello"; //shows up
$dd = new datetime_utility();
print "hello"; //doesn't show up!!!


What's happening here?

(In the past, I just modified the include_path of the main php.ini  
and this doesn't seem like a flexible solution.  I want to localize  
the settings in separate php.ini files for each project, so that when  
I have to deploy to production, I can also deploy the php.ini with  
minor adjustments.)

Sorry...it was my own sillyness.  After confirming that the .htaccess  
file was indeed setting the include_path directory, it turns out that  
the class file was renamed and PHP could not find it.


I'm surprised that PHP doesn't complain that it couldn't find the

turns out that the culprit for now displaying errors was:


php_value error_reporting E_ALL
When I commented that out, PHP reported the errors.  ugh!

Interesting, apparently ego's at work. As such, they could have used:

CUTC

Which stands for Coordinated Universal Time, with Croissant, no?

[PHP] Re: PHP in Kenya

[Manuel Lemos]

Hello,

I have no idea where you can find PHP developers from Kenya. What you
may want to do is to create a discussion group about PHP for Kenya users
and then submit it to the PHPClasses site directory of user groups.

Everytime a new user is logged in, the site shows all the registered
user groups from his country.

This way you can attract more Kenya users to your group and discuss your
problems with them.

Just go here to submit a Kenya user group:

UTC (or GMT, or Zulu, or Z) does not observe Daylight Savings Time.  In
any database that you store timestamps and need to know exactly what
that timestamp means you should use UTC, then use application logic to
translate to the users time zone.

Another option would be to store epoch time (seconds since the OS's
epoch) and work the same result from that, I prefer storing
human-readable timestamps even if you have to do the datemath in your
head to read them in your own timezone.  Epoch does not count
leap-seconds like UTC so it can be off by a tiny bit at any given time. 
Epoch time also differs on different operating systems - Unix is
1970-01-01 at 00:00:00 UTC, Windows seems to use 1601-01-01 at 00:00:00
UTC... I don't know if that would ever matter though - I imagine the
database server would mask this and the application would port to
windows without problems (no idea.)

UTC has no DST from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone
>>
Due to daylight saving time, UTC is local time at the Royal Observatory,
Greenwich 
only between 01:00 UTC on the last Sunday in October and 01:00 UTC on
the last Sunday in March. For the rest of the year, local time there is
UTC+1 , known in the United
Kingdom  as British Summer
Time  (BST). Similar
circumstances apply in many places.

[PHP] Re: Permanent Links - Blog

[Myron Turner]

Extra information, constructed as path info, is returned by the apache 
PATH_INFO environment variable.


Assume this script is called path_info.php:

PATH_INFO




Call it with the following URL:

  http:/my_server/path_info.php/news-item/june3/2005

It will return the following to the screen:

PATH_INFO
/news-item/june3/2005

Hi,

How do I implement that

"http://myhost/blog/view.php?id=id-of-the-post"; ?

I´ve seen this in many blogs, but it´s easy to implement?
See it in action at wikipedia, blogger blogs, simplebits 
.


Both simplebits and wikipedia is written in PHP, I guess.

Help!

Thank you

I'm only guessing, but you probably need to set the http Authorization
header in the request. If you are using curl, do something like:
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "USERNAME:PASSWORD");

Check out wget's --http-user and --http-password options too.

[PHP] dns_get_record()

[Ed]

Hi,

Is there a corresponding php method that would
accomplish the same thing as:

dig @ns_srvr_name thisdomain.com

So far, dns_get_record() uses the default nameserver
values from the /etc/resolve.conf (afaik, at least);
how do I get it to lookup the domain name using
 ns_srvr_name  as the name server?

Any help appreciated.

[PHP] Simple logic but can't get it right

[Choy, Wai Yew]

Hi gurus,

 

I've the following piece of PHP codeIt is a simple logic but I can't
get it rightThe output result of $id is "b"!!...It should be
"outside", right??

 

I think it is the variable $bCoz' it depend on the previous check (
if ($a == 0) ) for the value... If this is the case, how can I get this
logic works??

 

Thanks a million,

Choy

 

 

 

 

"; //Output is "b"...WHY?? It should be "outside"...

 

 

 

?>

RE: [PHP] Simple logic but can't get it right

[Daevid Vincent]

Since you don't declare variables in PHP, they are preinitialized for you as
'false' or '0'

So since $b is not set initially, it is 0 therefore second elseif passes.

[PHP] imap_getmailboxes - how to understand the values of "attributes"?

[Jens Meyer]

Hello!

For a small webmail-client I want to use the mailbox-attributes to make 
a difference between mailservers and their folder-handling.


Unfortunately I don't understand the meaning of the attributes-value in 
detail.

In PHP-manual I found that "Attributes is a bitmask".
In comments/notes the bitmasks are described as:

1 LATT_NOINFERIORS
2 LATT_NOSELECT
4 LATT_MARKED
8 LATT_UNMARKED

But when debugging with my mailservers/folders I received the following 
values: 1, 32, 40, 64.


It would be great if anyone could help me with a short explanation how 
to sum up the bitmasks to get these values (or vice versa...).


Thank you,
kind regards,

   Jens

[PHP] SOAP and MSSQL

[Kencana]

hi all, 

I am a new user of php & SOAP..I got one question about using SOAP. 
I have try to run SOAP and it runs successfully without any problem 

the following is the code of the SOAP server: 
class QuoteService { 
 private $quotes = array('V3' => 'password', 
  'kencana' =>'kencana', 
 'wisna' =>'wisna'); 

private $status = array('V3' => 'Admin', 
  'kencana' =>'user', 
 'wisna' =>'user'); 


function getQuote($symbol) { 
  if (isset($this->quotes[$symbol])) 
  { 
  return $this->quotes[$symbol]; 
  } 
  else 
  { 
  throw new SoapFault("Server","Unknown User Name '$symbol'."); 
  } 
  } 

function getStatus($symbol) { 
  if (isset($this->status[$symbol])) 
  { 
  return $this->status[$symbol]; 
  } 
  else 
  { 
  throw new SoapFault("Server","Unknown User Name '$symbol'."); 
  } 
  } 

as you can see, the code retrieved the data from the listed array, my
question is, is that possible to retrieve 
the data from mssql server?if yes, can i know how? 

I hope somebody can help me out, and pardon me as i am a new user of
this.therefore please bear with me. 

Regards, 
Kencana
