You will use what is referred to as the ErrorDocument entry. Have apache enforce a customer ErrorDocument for a 404 error. Then create a php script that is referred to by the ErrorDocument entry. error404.php please advice. thanks. With it being apache, you could also do it using SHTML (apache's subset of some simple extra tags to make files dynamic without having to load an entire PHP parser for it).

I'm developing an application and within this application is a class
that is very simple and only serves a singular purpose - to make log
entries to help with debugging. Problem is, now I'm debugging the damned
logging class that is supposed to be helping me debug the application as
I'm putting it together! I've looked and looked all over the
place, but I don't seem to be able to find an answer to this problem.
The only information that I have found so far deals with permissions and
I don't think that's the problem. At first I was getting an access
denied error but since setting dir perms and log file perms so that both
apache and my user can right to both the directory and the file that one
has gone away.
Log Directory permissions: /mystuff/logs rwx-rwx-rwx (777)
Log file permissions: /mystuff/logs/run.log rwx-rwx-rwx
(777)
At any rate, the following is the information I'm getting in the apache
error_log while working on this particular portion of the application:
PHP Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource
in /mystuff/inc/Log.inc on line 22,
PHP Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource
in /mystuff/inc/Log.inc on line 23,
The Log class:
-
class Log{
public $path, $entry, $logfile;
public function Log(){}
public function setLog($path,$file){
$this->path = $path;
$this->logfile = $file;
}
public function writeLog($entry){
// open the file, in this case the log file
$h = "$this->path/$this->logfile";
fopen($h, 'a+');
fwrite($h,$entry);
fclose($h);
}
}
Code snippet where attempting to write log entry from program:
$pl_log = new Log;
$pl_log->setLog($logpath,"run.log");
$usernanme = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['secret'];
/**
* (debugging) logging incoming values from form:

$pl_log->writeLog("getDateTime(): Incoming values from Login Form:

Any help with this would be most appreciated. (be gentle... I'm a PERL

Trish, this is a general question rather than a database question,
so it's being forwarded to the PHP-General list as well. It will not
only get you some more detailed replies, but it helps keep the
archives organized. If you're not already subscribed, please consider
doing so: http://php.net/mailinglists
Try something like this at the head of your code:
Keep in mind that it will only be executed in the same script as
it's coded, and only if/when those lines are executed. It won't set
the system-wide (or even same-session) display_errors, it only enables
that option for that script at that time.

[PHP] spider
Hi gang: How do you spider a remote web site in php? I get the general idea, which is to take the root page, strip out the links and repeat the process on those links. But, what's the code? Does anyone have an example they can share or a direction for me to take? Also, is there a way to spider through a remote web site gathering directory permissions? I know there are applications, such as Site-sucker, that will travel a remote web site looking for anything that it can download and if found, do so. But is there a way to determine what the permissions are for those directories? If not, can one attempt to write a file and record the failures/successes (0777 directories)? What I am trying to do is to develop a way to test if a web site is secure or not. I'm not trying to develop evil code, but if it can be done then I want to know how.

Re: [PHP] Double click problem [SOLVED]
Hi gang: This is probably trivial for most of you, but here's my solution to the problem I presented earlier. The problem was, I just wanted to be certain that if a use clicked a button that they could only do it once. Sounds simple enough, huh? Certainly, one can use javascript, but I wanted something that was basic php and html -- here's my solution with code (please provide critical review): http://www.webbytedd.com/cc/submit-once/index.php If the user clicks "Submit once", then that's the way it is until they quit their browser. If they don't quit their browser, then no amount of refresh will allow them to click the button again. The "Reset Submit", of course, resets this condition but it's for demo purposes. What I have not solved, and I don't think there is a solution (I could be wrong) is to prohibit the user from clicking the back button on their browser to reset this condition. I've done a considerable amount of javascript reading, testing, and code search and have not found anything that works -- and -- I have even found places where the js community says that nothing will work to solve the back-button problem. So, does anyone here know better? If so, please start a different thread.

Also, is there a way to spider through a remote web site gathering
directory permissions?
I know there are applications, such as Site-sucker, that will travel a
remote web site looking for anything that it can download and if found,
do so. But is there a way to determine what the permissions are for
those directories?
If not, can one attempt to write a file and record the
failures/successes (0777 directories)?
What I am trying to do is to develop a way to test if a web site is

Have a look at something like this:
http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/
I haven't used it, but if it works you should be able to pull up a list
of all the tags quite easily through the DOM ala:
foreach($dom->find('a') as $node)
echo $node->href . '';

Therefore it is your burden to deal with the back button because each URI should be able to be requested in any order at any time with or without sessions. Just because a shopping cart has a checkout.php page that requires certain steps doesn't mean that Google can't stumble upon it and index it to try and hit it over and over. So the real question is why is clicking the back button so terrible? Your workflow might be like this: form create crumb and hide in token field & store in session if (post) re-show form with error message from gateway show payment form submit will post to processing processing: validate post token == session token, if not then re-display payment form via require w/ error message if payment declined then re-display payment form via require w/ error message if payment accepted then save order, clear cart, and say thank you If I am on the form and I click process, then it posts to processing and does some stuff. If somehow I am fast enough to click the back button you think there might be an issue of the card transaction being sent to the merchant but the results not returned? If that is the case, on the processing page do this: - set a session variable saying you have started card processing - use ignore_user_abort - continue as normal then on the form page - check for started card processing session existance, if it exists then say please wait a moment and refresh again or however you want to handle that. - continue as normal The web is stateless and we're always going to have to deal with that. Just make everyone play by your rules. BTW Javascript is just fluff, a convenience for the end user. Your script should work perfectly without it because googlebot snooping around will not have it and also any of those rogue spam scripts will also not have it. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] spider
Ok, so the CURL and WGET stuff has been mentioned, but I don't think that really addresses your question. You didn't ask what the "best way" to do this, you asked how you would do it in PHP. Here's what I would consider to be the 'theory' of the exercise: * Do we obey robots.txt? If so, get the specs for that and keep it in mind during your code building * Get parameters: Starting point, how 'deep' to go, stay within that domain/subdomain or is it ok to leave? Are we retrieving content or just structure or info (like permissions)? * Go to starting point, retrieve links. Figure out the best way to 'crawl'. Maybe check out recursive directory crawling routines. I made a duplicate file scanner in PHP and probably did it the hard way, but bsaically I created an array of directory paths and marked them scanned or not. In this case, if you already scanned a link, you could skip it. Keep going through your link list until none come up as "not scanned".So retrieve links from current page, add links to scan array (if they match allowable criteria), check link array to see if anything is unscanned. Later, rinse, repeat. Since you're talking about a remote site, you're limited to what the remote web server is going to give you as far as info goes. You might get an "HTTP Auth Required" code, but there probably won't be a link to something that is in a restricted directory, so that's kind of a moot point. To get directory permissions, you'd really have to go through either FTP or a terminal connection (telnet, etc). If you're doing it as a coding exercise, have fun. If not, there are already tons of tools that could help you. Years ago I used a program called Teleport Pro (for Windows) that could either retrieve or create a sitemap or any number of variations. I did use it once or twice to check for bad links on the website (bad = going to invalid pages but also bad = pointing to old/restricted parts of the website without requiring authorization). That's a really basic site security check. I know you know you should use good coding practices and use more intensive site security scanning tools. -TG - Original Message - From: tedd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: php-general@lists.php.net Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2008 13:52:38 -0400 Subject: [PHP] spider > Hi gang: > > How do you spider a remote web site in php? > > I get the general idea, which is to take the root page, strip out the > links and repeat the process on those links.

Re: [PHP] spider
Good call, Ray. And depending on how much you need to pull, you might also
include and src values. Also test to make sure there's an
href value for the tags, they could also be without
an href.
It gets really tricky when you start looking at javascript window.open or
window.location type link sources.

Re: [PHP] spider
To get directory permissions, you'd really have to go through either FTP or a terminal connection (telnet, etc). Yes, but that's doing it programmatically, what about this? What if you knew that a directory on a site was set to 0777 -- what damage could you cause? I have seen scripts that clients purchase that require permissions for certain directories to be set to 0777 and left that way. The scripts don't change the permissions; write the file; and then change them back but rather just leave them set at 0777. If a site is using such a script and you know what directories have to be set to 0777, then that's a security issue, isn't it?

NOTE = since i am using a self submitting form just before the first form element i have created a blank table row and in this table row the php validation message would appear if the user missed out some information. due to this the user has to scroll from the top of the page to see the php generated validation message. if i use the same php validation at the very top of the page the error message will be at the top and the form fields at the bottom and the user will have to scroll up and down to read the validation message. please advice. thanks.
[PHP] problem with sessions config.
Hello guys; i'm having a problem with session behavior; i'm going straight to
it, but first some considerations:
PHP Version 5.2.5IIF 5.1Running on localhost (XP machine)I start sessions at
the top of every page.
A the start of a test page, just as example, i do the assignment:
$_SESSION["username"] = "aaa";
At the end of the same page i print it's value: echo $_SESSION["username"];
And i get the layout: "aaa", as expecteed.
Then I redirect to another page. On that one, after initializating the session
("session_start();") print again the $_SESSION["username"] content and the
result is empty. If i try the same code on a server (all this is on my local
machine), the code works as expected; so i think it is a configuration problem,
here is my php.ini part that correspond to session configuration, so you can
tell my if i'm doing anything wrong, long comments where removed:
