Indeed.  I'll venture a guess and say it's because your dictionary file
is bad or not actually UTF8.

Ah. Very weird, yes.  Are you doing a setlocale() anywhere?

Fallback to what?  I only have 'de' in my browser language preferences,
and your site came up fine in German.

What about using wget or its Windows equivalent? The tool is built for
requesting things from a command line, so is very easy to plug into a
bash or batch script.

Weird, since my whole system is UTF-8 and if I try to einter  iso-8859-1
charachters it complys that there is a error. Even xgettext tell me this

I have checkd it already with "iconv"

It seems the problem is if my "msgid" have strings like ü which are
not correctly converted to UTF-8 if I use "de_DE" since in  "de"  it  is
working.

Unfortunately the upstream of "php-gettext" is not responding to my mail

The only setlocale() I have found in the whole system is in

/usr/share/php/php-gettext/gettext.inc

which a part of the php-gettext package.

If someone have in the browser only "de-de" and I have NO locale "de_DE"
but "de", php-gettext does not fallback to "de".

Normaly under Linux you can have 

/usr/share/locale/de_DE.UTF-8
/usr/share/locale/de...@euro

/usr/share/locale/de_DE
/usr/share/locale/de

So if your system is "de_DE.UTF-8" and there is no UTF-8 locale, gettext
try "de_DE" and if that fais it try "de".  Unfortunately this  does  not
work with "php-gettext".  For me it is a bug.

Bingo -- that was the problem. Sometimes we're tripped up by the

[PHP] suhosin and sessions

[Michael A. Peters]

suhosin forum is currently down so I can't ask there.

I'm using https for login but the rest of the site is not https

www.domain.com is regular
secure.domain.com is https

I set the session cookie this way:

ini_set("session.cookie_domain",".domain.com");

Works beautifully w/o suhosin - the login can happen on secure server 
and then set the necessary session bits for the insecure server to know 
user is authenticated.


First issue was session data encryption, which is suppose to be 
transparent but doesn't appear to be if set in one domain and read in 
other. It looks configurable but since it is my server w/o no other 
users and I'm using database for sessions, I tries just turning it off via


ini_set('suhosin.session.encrypt','0');

in my include that starts the session.

However, that didn't solve the problem. So I also added

ini_set('suhosin.cookie.encrypt','0');

but still no joy - session data set in one domain is wiped as soon as 
the cookie is sent to another domain.


I'd really rather not remove the suhosin module, how can tell suhosin to 
just leave my sessions the smurf alone?

[PHP] PHP/MySQL ISP recommendation that lets one edit ft_min_word_len variable?

[Rob Gould]

Can anyone here recommend an ISP that will let me have a dedicated
server (not shared), and also allow me to adjust the ft_min_word_len
mySQL parameter?  I was originally thinking Dreamhost PS, but I
recently found out that they do not allow changes to mySQL
environmental variables.  I really need to adjust ft_min_word_len so
that I can do rapid text searches on words less than 4 chars.

Hi Roly,

You're definitely welcome to this mailing list full of incredibly intelligent 
people I never knew existed. However, I advice that you still read through the 
tutorials you have because I think you have not installed apache properly.

OK - I seemed to have solved it.
The first issue - suhosin doesn't allow you to ini_set in a script - 
that actually makes sense.


The real issue in my case was not different domains but different 
document roots. Probably for shared server reasons, by default suhosin 
uses the document root as part of its session encryption.


suhosin.session.cryptdocroot = Off

in the php.ini fixed the issue - and lets me keep the suhosin 
transparent encryption (which has some session hijacking protection, so 
is a good thing to have).

 Hi Roly,

 As previously advised, the best you can do to get started is to
install a bundle
 http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

 If you are a native Spanish speaker (I'm guessing, because of your "salu2")
 check the PHP-MySQL tutorials here http://www.illasaron.com/, you can find
 single lessons or full courses on the left sidebar here
 http://www.illasaron.com/html/ and a supporting forum here
 http://www.illasaron.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=24. You'll need to register for
 accessing the direct downloads, registering is free (there are also .torrent
 downloads for the illasaron courses at thepiratebay.org)

 Regards,

 Rob



Rob, please keep the mail to the list. It came to me individually
only! where as I didn't ask for the solution :)\

Well, yes  ApacheFriend's XAMPP is one of the best suites ever with
lots of things in there.

And www.nettuts.com just last month released really nice tutorials for
beginners on PHP so thats really recommended if anyone wants to start

[PHP] Submitting URLs in IE

[Skip Evans]

Hey all,

I have an application that uses AJAX to submit a page created 
in the FCKeditor. It builds a URL and then submits that to the 
server with a JavaScript call like this:


req.open('GET', url, false);

In Firefox it works great for just about any size page you 
could want, but IE just stops on even medium size pages.


Is this some kind of limitation in IE that can be increased 
with a registry setting or something?


Any suggestions would be helpful, as I am a bit perplexed.

Would using POST rather than get to submit the URL to the 
server handle more data?

[PHP] AJAX with POST

[Skip Evans]

Hey all,

At the risk of being told this is a PHP and not a JS list, but 
also knowing the discussions on this list, to the benefit of 
all I believe, very wildly, I'm posting this JS code snippet 
for some advice.


As I posted earlier, my AJAX app that uses a GET to post to 
the server (and get a response), fails on IE with larger data, 
so I thought I'd take a shot at writing a POST function, but 
so far I can get it to get the data back, but the problem is 
by the time the data has come back the function has already 
returned null back to the calling function. What I need this 
function to do is wait for the data to come back and then send 
it back to caller. Here's the function. Any advice would be 
greatly appreciated. (The code to get the appropriate object 
per browser has been omitted.)


http.open("POST", url, true);

//Send the proper header information along with the request
http.setRequestHeader("Content-type", 
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

http.setRequestHeader("Content-length", url.length);
http.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

http.send(url);

http.onreadystatechange = function() {//Call a function when 
the state changes.

if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) {
alert('['+http.responseText+']');
return (http.responseText);
}
}

Ooops! I forgot the "reply to all" trick ;)

I pointed out illasaron.com because it's Spanish and there's a Spanish community
around. I thought Roly is a Spanish speaker, because "salu2" is a short for
"saludos" (=greetings/regards) and he said he's also learning English.

Illasaron PHP+MySQL course starts from basic HTML all the way up to session
handling, OOP, XML Processing in PHP, building a shopping cart and creating a
small CMS. You can download single "lessons" (there are about 50 I think) or the
whole DVD as an ISO. I have nothing against nettuts.com, It's just that I prefer
facing one challenge at a time rather than three at once (learning English,
installing apache+php+mysql, learning PHP). By the time I started with English
PHP courses I could understand written and oral English already, and by the time
I learnt to install and set up a WAMP or LAMP suite from scratch, I already knew
enough PHP to do more than "hello world".

It's just that he can learn English by reading eBooks and listening to the BBC
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/meta/tx/nb/live/www15.asx). He can learn to
manually install and set up a full Apache+PHP+MySQL suite later. One challenge
at a time avoids frustration, that's just my experience and point of view.

[PHP] Possible Server Infection?

[sono-io]

Hi all,

	I was wondering if someone might know about a problem I'm having on  
my server.  It appears that I've been infected by a rogue PHP  
script(?).  Something has gone through my server and placed .htaccess  
files in every directory that didn't have one with contents that look  
like this:


Options -MultiViews
ErrorDocument 404 //graphics/cc/52.php

	The path is different for each file and corresponds to the directory  
that it's in.  The php document name is a different number for each  
file I've found.


	Does this sound familiar to anyone?  What would be the purpose of  
placing files like these in the directories?  As far as I know, there  
isn't a file called "52.php" anywhere on my site, so this doesn't  
make any sense to me.


	I realize that this is a very general question, but I'm hoping that  
someone has seen or heard of this type of thing before and can help me  
eliminate the problem.


I'm using A2 Hosting and they don't know why this happened.

Thanks,
Frank

Skip,

You didn't show the code to build the url variable but I would assume  
that since you started with a get method you are tacking data onto the  
end of the URL that is the called Ajax page.


I had the same issue at work correcting the VP's mistake of mixing up  
post and get in his ajax call. The trick is to build the data  
separately from the URL and pass it.


I do an ajax.open(URL) then an Ajax. Send(data) to send just the data.

I can post my entire function set if you want.

Re: [PHP] Submitting URLs in IE

Hey all,

I have an application that uses AJAX to submit a page created in the  
FCKeditor. It builds a URL and then submits that to the server with  
a JavaScript call like this:


req.open('GET', url, false);

In Firefox it works great for just about any size page you could  
want, but IE just stops on even medium size pages.


Is this some kind of limitation in IE that can be increased with a  
registry setting or something?


Any suggestions would be helpful, as I am a bit perplexed.

Would using POST rather than get to submit the URL to the server  
handle more data?

[PHP] RE: AJAX with POST

[Brad Broerman]

Well, as the "A" in Ajax is asynchronous, there's no real way to make it
wait. What you would normally do is use a callback:

function createXHRObject( )
{
if (typeof XMLHttpRequest != "undefined")
{
return new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else if (typeof ActiveXObject != "undefined")
{
return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
else
{
throw new Error("XMLHttpRequest not supported");
}
}

function sendAjaxRequest( websvcurl , params, callbackFn )
{
var xhrObject = createXHRObject();

xhrObject.open("POST", websvcurl, true);
xhrObject.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (xhrObject.readyState == 4)
{
if( xhrObject.responseXML != null )
{
callbackFn (xhrObject.responseXML);
}
}
}

xhrObject.setRequestHeader("Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xhrObject.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
xhrObject.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
xhrObject.send(params);
}

Re: [PHP] AJAX with POST

[Skip Evans]

Hey Bastien & all,

...D'oh! Thanks for the catch, yes, I am sending args on the 
URL. But more to my problem, if I switch to POST will IE be 
able to submit more data? If so, I can parse the URL down in 
the function and build a proper post transaction, but my real 
problem is IE can't submit, apparently, more than 2K through a 
GET.


Do you know if POST can handle more?

Thanks tons for your reply!

Re: [PHP] RE: AJAX with POST

[Skip Evans]

But my function using GET does seem to wait.

Granted I cobbled it together from various samples and didn't 
author it from my own deep understanding of the exact process, 
but here's the snippet that does the real work.


req.open('GET', url, false);
req.send(null);

if(req.responseText) {
   if(req.responseText.substring(0,7) == 'debug!!') {
   alert(req.responseText.substring(7));
   }
}

return(req.responseText);

It seems to wait until it has data to return, because it works 
perfectly. I can send it a URL from another function and get 
the data back from server to the function as expected.


The only part of it I'm unsure of is this:

req.send(null);

What does that do? As I said, I cobbled this function from 
examples, got it working, and presto, was off and running.

Re: [PHP] Possible Server Infection?

[TG]

Had to deal with a rogue PHP based backdoor situation recently.  Two remote 
management scripts were installed somehow that would allow you to do 
something like what you describe.

You probably want to download a fresh copy of the entire site (assuming you 
don't have remote shell access and/or the desire to use remote *nix 
commands to do any of this) and see if whatever your favorite editor is 
has a "find in files" function.

Using this, I searched for all the files that may contain the PHP "eval" 
function, or "fopen" or other commands that could potentially allow 
editing/creating files or executing *nix commands or arbitrary PHP 
functions.

Also, check the permissions on the files and directories on your site.


Another thing I did was to use a version control software to see if any 
files changed after I redownloaded the site and if any new files were 
added.  I'm sure there's a way to do this with SVN or CVS or GIT or 
something, but I used a Windows based system called Code Co-op.

If/when you find the script that may have allowed this, you can look at 
your raw web logs and see who was accessing that file.  You should be 
able to at least get their IP address and with that, you can get some 
information about them.  Or just hand it over to the authorities or 
whatever you want to do.


If you're really curious... if you find the backdoor script file, you can 
modify it to either not function, or appear to function but not really do 
anything bad, etc.  More importantly, you could modify it to collect 
information (what little you can at least) about the person accessing it. 
 This could include some javascript to get additional information about 
their browser, OS, etc.  Google "Browserhawk" for an example of what 
information you can get from someone's browser.

Anyway, just some thoughts.  Good luck!

Ajax can be both async and sync. Itsbthe fourth param in the open call
