RE: [PHP] I want to use POST when redirect via PHP Header function.

[admin]

I could be wrong on this but,
I am pretty sure you can use GET variables but not POST in a header
redirect.

Example 
header('Location:http://www.yourmom.com/?large=incharge&hasorbit=yes');

Following on from what Richard said, the post data is part of a request made by 
a browser, not the response made by the server, which is what a header is, a 
response.

Maybe you need to look into cURL, which make a request and forward the response 
on to the browser.

Ps. Could people please avoid top posting, as it does make it rather difficult 
for the automated archive and some screen readers.

Ash

AFAICT, it isn't. You can use GET variables by passing them on the
querystring. These can then be accessed via $_REQUEST, which is an
amalgamation of $_POST, $_GET, and $_COOKIE. So if you have a script
that might take input from either $_POST or $_GET, you can usually
code fairly transparently by replacing both by $_REQUEST.

Alternatively, you can create a form on the page and use client-side
javascript to 'auto-submit' via the body onLoad event. However, this
does require JS on the client and so cannot be guaranteed.

Thank you every one. If I use GET then the value will be shown in the
address bar, Which I don't want to do.

Can any one describe me the $_REQUEST and $_COOKIE, if you can give example
it will be helpful for me.

If you issue a header("Location:") call then you can't use post.

If you have to send back values that you don't want a user to see, why don't 
you build the page you are outputting and echo it out instead of issuing a 
whole redirect? That way, you can use hidden form elements to hold these values.

If you just need values to be persistent, have a look at the $_SESSION array 
and session_start() which you can use for this.

Just as bottom posting (I know, it's in da rules) makes it rather difficult 
for humans to read thru a topic, scrolling thru ever-longer messages to get 
to the 'new' content.

Let's solve it for all by only posting your own content and let the sum of 
all the messages equate to the topic.  :)

In fact, the posting rules state that one should only quote those parts of a 
message that are relevant for the post. Unfortunately, many people decide
that everything is relevant, even for a long thread. Still, this should not mean
we have to flee to the opposite of no quoting. You will agree that quoting 
your message above will be clearer than just replying without quote.

Personally, I think that incorrect spelling is far more annoying than
the quoting; that is, if it does not originate from incapability due to English
(whether it be British or American) being not the native language, as
opposed to spelling errors because of vapidity.

As for the readers of this list, I am sorry to go into this non-PHP subject, 
but I couldn't really let this pass.

Best regards,
Jasper

DON't get me started on the massacre of the English language on posting 
sites all over the internet!  It seems that people are so wrought up in 
their problem-of-the-moment that they don't realize that they are 
mis-spelling, mis-typing and mis-stating their problem(s) in their frantic 
posts.  :)

Personally, I'm not sure that those who are lifeless, dull, or
unintersting are any more or less prone to spelling errors than the
rest of us; or that the more interesting members of this list are
immune!

Au contraire! Typos are very much a PHP subject. Take this from
someone who spent nearly two hours yesterday debuggin PHP code with
imbalanced parentheses, parentheses that should have been braces - and
vice versa, ampersands in place of dollar signs, and other typos!

I think the moral is that one should never code when tired ;(

or coding while drunk... my favorite typo is $this == 'value';  or
$$this = 'value';   very hard to find sometimes...  

As much as I hate to go off-topic even more, this is one thing that I do
like about Python.  The fact that requires/enforces proper
indentation...   but that is as far as I am going with that :)

[PHP] Re: Parent Limits?

[Brian Smither]

With all kind respect to Richard Buskirk and Daniel Brown (thank you for 
responding), their replies did not actually answer my question.

My question is: What module or php.ini setting would render inoperative a 
directory traversal of X parents?

My original post follows.

The following works (three parents):
include("../../../includes/ini.inc.php");
require_once("../../../includes/ini.inc.php");

The following works (four parents):
include("../../../../includes/ini.inc.php");

The following does not work (four parents):
require_once("../../../../includes/ini.inc.php");

That is, require_once() with four parents has been reported to have been 
disabled for security purposes. But apparently, not disabled is include() with 
four parents.

The device or setting which is causing the problem is not known to me. It may 
be just the four parents (and include() is getting the data from this file 
elsewhere) or it may be the combination.

It has been reported this is not a limit within open_basedir. So, what is it? 
What module or php.ini setting would have this effect?

Thank you.

[PHP] PHP 5.3.7RC2 Released for Testing

[Ilia Alshanetsky]

The second release candidate of 5.3.7 was just released for
testing and can be downloaded here:

https://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.3.7RC2.tar.bz2 (md5sum:
1f4fba48807d5d6236b24ca1f1b63e69)
https://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.3.7RC2.tar.gz (md5sum:
d57c2d49d4e9c8a90d31068d88605ef2)

The Windows binaries are available at: http://windows.php.net/qa/

Given the small number of changes since the last RC, it is likely a
final version
will be released in 2 weeks. If it is not, a third release candidate
will be available
in 2 weeks. PHP 5.3.7 is focused on improving the stability and
security. To ensure
that the release is solid, please test this RC against your code base
and report any
problems that you encounter.

To find out what was changed since the last release please refer to the
NEWS file found within the archive or on
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/tags/php_5_3_7RC2/NEWS?revision=HEAD&view=markup

Windows users please mind that we don't provide VS6 builds anymore since
PHP 5.3.6. When using the openssl extension please mind a known
regression which might lead to a performance degression. This regression
will be fixed with RC2 and the final release.

RE: [PHP] Re: Parent Limits?

[admin]

Brian,
I totally get what you are saying.
I just may have not translated my thoughts to you very well and I am very
sorry for that.
I tested the design on a few of my servers.
I had issues on my windows Servers and did not have issues on my RHEL
servers

There is an actual term for this practice it is called "Linkal Gymnastics"

I have read many articles on this issue, in trying to explain the path
issues using "../" .
Many complain of performance issues in windows as well as Linux.


I want to propose something and you tell me if it makes sense.
Load the path to the file, not from the current location.
It is just bad practice, and if you ever change the location of the file you
have major problems.
You're not guessing at the location backwards and running into performance
issues.


Instead of loading the file in reverse 
require_once("../../../../ini.inc.php"); <-- this path could be wrong.
try
require_once("C:/intepub/vhost/yourdoamin.com/httpdocs/www/ini.inc.php");<--
unless you move it the direct path is always right.

You can create constants as I said before making your life easier.
define('BASE_PATH','C:\\inetpub\\vhosts\\yourdoamin.com\\httpdocs\\');

simply calling
require_once(BASE_PATH."www/ini.inc.php");

I cannot tell you why there are performance issue, but there are and it
seems to be more directory path issues than php.
They did write a paper on this issue at Texas U under "Computer Science
Recursive Backtracking"

I hope this helps
