I don't know about your IT group, but around here and at any of our clients, they will never allow anyone outside their office modify access rights, or add users. It takes a written request by a manager or above to get them to make any changes, and each request must include the reasons for the change. No we cannot use the master LDAP server for testing. We have a couple of OpenLDAP servers isolated on our test networks for that. But even those have to be managed directly. No application is allowed to do more than retrieve data.

[PHP] $_POST issues
Hello, Can someone explain me what this piece of code basically does ? header("Expires: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s", time() + (0*60)) . "GMT"); header("Pragma: no-cache"); print "REDIRECT=http://www.domaine.com/page.php?";; $param = http_build_query($_POST); print $param; exit(0); ?> Well, the code is redirecting to some page with query string constructed using the $_POST data. My problem is not the redirection; but all I want is to get the data in $_POST If I just put only this piece of code: i get nothing. But the above codes is successfully redirecting me to page.php with a properly constructed query string -> which means that $_POST was never empty. So why var_dump($_POST) is returning just array(0) { } ??? nadim attari alienworkers.com

So, loading a URL to a PHP script containing just the var_dump() will never output anything for $_POST as the URL wasn't the result of a POST'd form. You can also use cURL or stream_contexts to construct the data for POST-ing and your script would receive these correctly. -- Richard Quadling Twitter : EE : Zend @RQuadling : e-e.com/M_248814.html : bit.ly/9O8vFY -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Actually this is the response page, i.e. a payment gateway is sending the result of a transaction to this page.

The function http_build_query() is turning your $_POST array into a query string ($_GET), so the answer to this really depends where you're trying to dump the array. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thank you Daniel for this detailed post of yours. Really appreciated. Saving the $_POST data (in response.php) in a file will serve nothing. - And you said this was an unnecessary step from the payment gateway - All i need is the result of the transaction, which I'll get in receipt.php thr' $_GET. All I can say is that I do not have any control on the payment gateway (you may realise it has been badly implemented - if it is not too harsh to say like that) Another unnecessary step occurs in send_transaction.php - you have seen that once the XML data is sent to the payment gateway (well SBM asked me to send like that - i mean no declaration, just the tags), the gateway sends back and and i have to redirect my browser to that page, concatenating the paymentid in the query string. --- this should have been done automatically by the payment gateway itself. Really baffling. I think I'll report this to my boss, who shall contact the client (YU Lounge). Now up to the client to decide whether they'll be doing business with SBM payment gateway solution or not. BTW, would you recommend someone to use this payment gateway ?

However, knowing what we've already ascertained in this short time, as well as other things I've noticed, I would highly advise against using the service. Three key issues I see are: (1) unnecessary processes and slow response times; (2) insecurities, including data disclosure and plain-text GET/POST calls; (3) poor data validation and error handling. If the client would permit the use of another service, I'd recommend researching some of the alternatives. > Anyway thanks again for your time and help Daniel.

Re: [PHP] code quest
OK, answered my own question; no, an ssi statement inside a php echo statement is simply sent out as is, unparxsed. But if it is external to the php area, it works fine, so we have to include a function in there that will read anything I want to spew- like the 1 line contents of a desciptor file in a particular directory. The idea is to create a directory lister which reads a descriptor for that folder and uses it as the text for the link. Daniel P. Brown wrote: On Sat, Nov 27, 2010 at 12:36, Daniel P.

Re: [PHP] code quest
OK, the quest thus far: php experimental page body { margin-left: 5%; margin-right: 5%; } A:link, A:visited, A:active { text-decoration:none; } A:hover { text-decoration:underline; } Subdirectory listing experimental menuing page '.$d.''.PHP_EOL; } } ?> The results may be seen on this page: http://www.howlermonkey.net/dirlisting.php Can this be improved to exclude anything with a '.' or a '-' in it's name? This will exclude the smileys and cgi-bin and such. If it can be persuaded to read a 1 line description from each subdirectory it could then use THAT as the text in the link, instead of the name. This could be useful in many settings. Daniel P.
