[PHP] Browser cache and form with $PHP_SELF
Using $PHP_SELF, I have a form that calls itself until the user gets all the input right. Each time the user corrects some field and resubmits, the browser builds a cache of pages, as you can see with the browser back button. Is there a way to make the browser clear the cache on every submission so the user cannot go back to any previous page? Seems like I've seen sites that do this, but I'm not sure how they do it.

Am I the only one using HoTMetal Pro 6.0 on Windows? Its PHP support has a very annoying bug when it encounters embedded HTML output contained within PHP standard tags, but using PHP long tags fixes that problem. Long tags help in other ways too, because they make HoTMetaL format your PHP script text as-is, letting you control indenting of the PHP text the way you want. And as long as you're not trying to embed HTML output inside your PHP tags, you can use PHP short tags in contexts where they make the most sense, like printing the contents of a single variable: VALUE="" Notice the omission of the "print" command. That's a neat little trick I learned from Matt Zandstra's book. Very helpful for quick output of a single variable. One thing I can no longer live without, is HoTMetaL's integrated FTP support. It's so good, the FTP site becomes part of your desktop. I can open a remote FTP file for some quick changes, without even storing it locally on my hard drive. And then just as quickly, save it back to the FTP site with the touch of one toolbar button. OTOH, after an editing session where I make extensive changes to the local copy of my project, its FTP file synchronization is everything I could ask for. And did I mention its excellent support for different HTML views like tags-on, WYSIWYG, and raw source? Did I mention its excellent table design and manipulation facilities? Did I mention its project management? Did I mention ... Yes I could go on and on. You get a screwdriver and some wrenches with your hammer. It's available at Amazon, discounted to about $70.

I can see that IE5 does not cache the page locally, by looking in Temporary Internet Files. I realize now though, that what I really need is to drop certain pages out of the browser "back" chain. For instance say I have three pages: A --> B --> C Once the user selects page C, I don't want them to see page B with the browser back button. If they use the back button, I want them to jump from C all the way back to A. IOW, I want to "unlink" B from the chain. Is that possible?

Re: [PHP] phpwebhosting.com
I was curious so I looked at their site. They shout "unlimited" as loud as they can, for every service you can imagine. But their FAQ says: > Though we do not have any pre-set limits, you will not be allowed > to and/or over five GB of bandwidth/month. "Yes there is NO limit. Read our lips. There is really NO limit. But even though there is NO limit, you still can't have more than 5GB per month for our competition killing price of $9.95" "Anyone should be able to understand that, right?" They also claim they will limit each server to a max of 125 users. So let's do a little math ... 125 users at $10 per month, is a maximum revenue of $1,250 per month per server. From that meager revenue, they are able to provide their customers with an OC-12. I would like to meet the genius who is able to pull that financial rabbit out of a hat!

I didn't. But even if they had 100 servers, have you priced an OC-12 lately? And if they actually have a server farm large enough to justify an OC-12, then how many people would be required to maintain a server farm that large? What about the cost of those salaries? What about the cost of the co-location space. What about the cost of ... etc, etc? When you add up all the costs, and compare that to the maximum revenue they could possibly generate with a price of $9.95 per month, I am not convinced they put much value on truth in advertising.

We're on an OC-12 too. But we don't imply that we have it all to ourselves. Very few hosting providers, if any, do. Offering value to customers means provisioning bandwidth which meets your current and short term expected load. As long as that condition is met, advertising OC-whatever is just a marketing gimmick.

I don't know what country you are speaking of, but in the U.S., that view is a commonly held misconception. Under U.S. copyright law, if the author is an independent contractor, in the absence of a written agreement covering the work, the author owns all copyrights to the work, with the exception that the client who paid for the work is automatically granted a license to their one copy (and only their one copy). The client does *not* have copy _rights_ which permit them to resell it, or even give it away, unless the author specifically gave them those rights in writing, such as a work for hire agreement. If the author was working as an employee, OTOH, then the situation is reversed, and the employer owns the copyrights by default. As for the license of PHP itself, vs. an author's license to any code he writes in the language known as PHP: Writing application code in the PHP language does not make the code you wrote automatically become open source, Yes, the PHP processor is open source, but its copyright is entirely separate and distinct from any application system which may be written in the PHP language. I if write a C program, it does not matter whether I compile it with GCC which is GPLed, or with some proprietary C compiler. Either one is irrelevant for determining ownership of the copyrights which apply to the code I wrote in the C language. You cannot copyright ideas, and the PHP language is only an idea. The PHP Apache module or other PHP processor is an *expression* of ideas embodied in the PHP language. And only its expression can be copyrighted, not the idea itself. Suppose RWS said you have to stop writing proprietary C programs, just because someone might compile it with GCC?

I'm speaking as a budding competitor, so keep that in mind. :-) According to their web page, below10host.com gives you 6GB per month for $9.95. By way of comparison, webservpro charges $49.95 per month for the same 6GB. My analysis of costs tells me that at $49.95 for 6GB, webservpro does not have a large margin of profit in their price. How can any hosting company sell the same 6GB per month for $9.95 and make enough profit to stay in business? At such a low price, I don't know how it's possible, unless a large majority of their customers consume so little of their quota so as to offset the loss incurred from customers who consume it all. 6GB per month is a fairly active site. If you really have that much traffic, to me at least, $49.95 would seem affordable. OTOH, if you have much less traffic, you could choose a lower priced plan. I believe in the adage of getting what you pay for. Value is a balance between low price on the one hand, vs. high quality on the other. The lowest price is not necessarily the best value.

The site performing final delivery determines Return-Path from the envelope address. That means you cannot control Return-Path by means of header manipulation. The only way to control the envelope address is to have the web server call sendmail with the -f option as a trusted user. The -f option will let you specify any address. This has great potential for abuse, so you must tell sendmail, via its configuration, that the web server UID can be trusted. But before doing that, consider the potential for abuse. For example, in a virtual hosting environment, what would prevent PHP authors from providing users with a web form which takes an email address input and calls sendmail with the -f option, forcing it to use a possibly forced address as the envelope address? If the web server is a trusted sendmail user, any PHP script could do that. Whoa!

With a dictionary approach you would exhaust yourself trying to catch

A regular expression solution is needed.

[PHP] Password security from PHP to MySQL
I know that ~.my.cnf with
[client]
password={mypass}
is the recommended method of securing your MySQL password when using a
shell command line to access MySQL.
But what is the recommended method for MySQL password security via
PHP? Is there some way to make it use the ~.my.cnf file?
It seems to me that if you hardcode a MySQL password into your PHP
source code, it could become exposed inadvertently. Forgive me if
this is already answered in the FAQ or manual.

I use SSH port forwarding to protect FTP passwords into my server. Getting FTP to work with SSH port forwarding was more tricky than POP or SMTP, but it can be done. Also, the FTP server itself can be an obstacle to making it work, depending on how it's configured. Funny that, after figuring it out the first time, now it doesn't seem so tricky after all. It might work with MySQL, but I have not tried it.

[PHP] chicken and egg problem with SID
I have a multi page sequence of input forms tied to a session. It works perfectly with cookies. But I also want to make it work without cookies, using: php_value session.use_cookies 0 php_value session.use_trans_sid 1 in my .htaccess file, to use the SID support provided by PHP. When testing this, I see that the SID works with all pages except the first. But because the first page has no SID passed to it in the URL, the first instance of: session_start(); creates a new session every time you refresh the first page with the browser. And that is the problem. I only want one session to be created, no matter how many times the user hits refresh on the first page. So then I tried setting the session id myself, hard coding it to some arbitrary value like: and that solves the multiple session problem; only one session is created, no matter how many times you hit refresh on the first page. Yay! But that still leaves a chicken and egg problem to solve: I can generate some random value to be used for the session_id, but I can't think of a good way to store it for use on the first page. Since the first page does not get the SID in the URL, I need to set the session_id before calling session_start. But that means I don't have any session where I can store my random value, for recalling it later, on the next page refresh. Ack! I only need some simple way to store the SID value I generate, before the page is loaded a second time. I thought of using a CGI to dynamically generate all the PHP and HTML for page 1, and also have the CGI put a random session_id value right into the page source itself, just like I did when testing. I suppose that would work, but it seems like there should be an easier way. Maybe there is some obvious solution, but it is not obvious to me at the moment. Has anyone else solved this problem, with a better method?

Good user interface design can be difficult to achieve in a browser
environment, and many of the browser form interfaces I have seen are
poorly designed in terms of user experience.
I've created a multipart form without any "page expired" messages, no
matter what the user does. It's pretty slick, as far as browser form
interfaces go.
The user can use the browser back button, the browser forward button,
the browser refresh button, or the form "next" button anywhere in the
series of pages, all without disturbing any responses already entered.
Say they fill out 5 pages, then decide to go back and review the first
page before completing page 6. In that case, I don't want to create a
new session, and thereby discard all the responses already entered, in
case they happen to hit refresh while on page 1.
Why? That's just good "user interface design 101."

You missed a related discussion by just a few days. But here is a summary of it ... To initialize a session and force the browser to inject the PHPSESSID string into the url of every page, including the first, use this code in the very first page (and only the very first page!) And then use this code on all pages you link to: This approach has another benefit too: On all pages you link to after the first, you can test the value of "vsid" to see if it matches the value of PHPSESSID. That way, you can determine whether the user reached the other pages by going through the initial page. If not, you can reject the request with a message like "improper request" or something similar. In your php.ini, use: variables_order = "ECGPS" to make GET data override cookie data, and use: session.use_trans_sid = 1 to have PHP inject the PHPSESSID string into document links (PHP also needs a compile flag set, for this .ini value to work). And to turn off cookies, use: session.use_cookies = 0 Or if you have permission for setting these values in an .htaccess file, then in .htaccess you can use: php_value session.use_cookies 0 php_value session.use_trans_sid 1 php_value variables_order "ECGPS" Hope that helps!

That would cause the script to be executed with permissions of the web server, and for security, that is generally prohibited by the ISP (we are the ISP). The only exception to that rule is public scripts which reside in: safe_mode_exec_dir = /host/runphp and are thus allowed to execute with permissions of the web server. To provide for the execution of private user CGIs, each user has their own /cgi directory. Apache is configured to recognize /cgi in any URL as an executable CGI, and wraps all user CGIs with SuEXEC, to run them with permissions of the user, not the web server. But of course that means user scripts are accessible via URL. So the question remains, how to limit their access. As the ISP, we could use any feature of the web server for our own CGIs, but we intentionally avoid that. We have a hosting environment with a rich set of customer accessible tools, and we demonstrate that fact by using only those tools ourselves. IOW, we use what we sell. I have some techniques for limiting access to user CGIs, but I still wonder how others have approached this problem ...

Even though PHP is running on localhost, and making a request via the virtual() function, Apache still knows the IP address of the remote host, and uses that. So what happens is that denying "localhost" makes it impossible to run the CGI at all, unless you are running lynx from a local shell. Not exactly what I had in mind. Unless there is some way that Apache can be tricked into believing a request originates from the IP address of localhost, it appears that allow/deny directives will not solve the problem of preventing direct access to user CGIs.

Sorry, I didn't mean to start a flame war. I only wanted to know if there was a simple way of doing it, without using a temporary array.

[PHP] PHP MySQL password
I know that ~.my.cnf with
[client]
password={mypass}
is the recommended method of securing your MySQL password when using a
shell command line to access MySQL.
But what is the recommended method for MySQL password security via
PHP? Is there some way to make it use the ~.my.cnf file?
It seems to me that if you hardcode a MySQL password into your PHP
source code, it could become exposed inadvertently.

[PHP] Undefined variable error message
All of the PHP scripts hosted on a Linux server I'm working with have suddenly begun producing an error message: undefined variable 'variablename' This occurs wherever a variable name is referred to. I'm concerned about this for two reasons: 1 Will I have to go through each script making substantial alterations? 2 Has the configuration of PHP been altered in some way without my knowledge? The latter would suggest fairly significant security issues. Does anybody have any ideas as to how this might have occurred and the quickest way of resolving it? Or of links to possible solutions? This is particularly irritating as last night was the office Christmas party and I'm in a rather fragile state this morning :-( Michael Egan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Jon, Many thanks - the actual problem is now solved. As to how it occurred I think must be attributable to me at some stage in terms of fiddling around with the php.ini file.

You could use the explode function to break the string down into its different elements with '/' as the delimiter.

The better option is probably to constrain what they can enter with drop down boxes for year, month and day.

[PHP] XHTML Validator Problem
I've finally got round to making some attempt to validating the pages of a site I've done with PHP using the W3C XHTML Validator. However, it's throwing out errors wherever I use session control on pages. The server generates PHP Session ID variables which are added to links to other pages but my understanding is that these are rejected on the basis that the '&' and '=' characters are invalid (I might be wrong here). Examples of the error messages generated by the validator are given below: Line 154, column 102: cannot generate system identifier for general entity "PHPSESSID" ...u' href='competitions.php?option=add&PHPSESSID=888a059dbc17855c09885c3ea978df ^ Line 154, column 102: general entity "PHPSESSID" not defined and no default entity (explain... <http://validator.w3.org/docs/errors.html>). ...u' href='competitions.php?option=add&PHPSESSID=888a059dbc17855c09885c3ea978df ^ These are the only error messages left - having dealt with the dozens of others left in through my own sloppy coding :-( I'm not sure how to tackle this given that these elements of the page are generated automatically.

Didier, It's not that people object to stupid questions being posed - or, indeed poor use of English. Some of the best responses to queries I've seen are from people for whom English is not their first language. What people do object to is questions being posed to the incorrect lists - I'm sure there are plenty of forums and mailing lists dedicated to both the areas you are keen to investigate. These will undoubtedly be the better sources of information. By keeping the lists dedicated to specific areas, even where these can interact, the lists are kept to more manageable proportions.

I might be missing something but just looking at the top few lines of your code the

The loop will run on howver many times corresponds to this value - with the value

You'll need to pass in a value from elsewhere.

I put together the following function to give me a password consisting of random

Hope this helps - I also hope anybody else is fairly gentle with their criticisms and

function get_password()
{
// Create the password variable as an array
$temp_password = array();
// Create an array of the letters of the alphabet
$letters = array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k",
"l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v",
"w", "x", "y", "z");
// Get the first three alpha characters of the password
for($row = 0; $row < 3; $row ++)
{
srand ((double) microtime() * 100);
$rand_number = rand(0, 25);
$letter = $letters[$rand_number];
array_push($temp_password, $letter);
}
// Get five numeric characters to complete the password
for($row = 0; $row < 5; $row ++)
{
srand ((double) microtime() * 100);
$rand_number = rand(0, 9);
array_push($temp_password, $rand_number);
}
// Convert the array into a single string
for ($row = 0; $row < count($temp_password); $row ++)
{
$password .= $temp_password[$row];
}
// Return the password to the script that called the function
return $password;
}
By the way - I put this together one evening after consuming five pints of Jameson's
with one arm tied behind my back and whilst wearing a blindfold!

[PHP] Checking for existing records
Hello all, I'm looking for the sort of programming inspiration I suspect I won't find in manuals - I have checked the web first! When saving records to a table I generally do a fairly standard check to ensure that there is not already a record of the same name. I even put a big warning message on the page asking users to check to ensure that a record of a particular name doesn't already exist before they create a new record. But this hasn't stopped entries such as the following: Record x: "The Prince's Trust" Record y: "The Princes Trust" Record z: "the Prince's Trust" Two of these were entered as consecutive records by the same person! I know I won't be able to make any application entirely foolproof but are there any steps I could use within the combination of MySQL and PHP that might minimize such duplication?

RE: [PHP] Checking for existing records[Scanned]
Thanks Daniel. I think the approach I'll settle for will be to do an initial check to make sure that no record of exactly the same name exists and then look through the records to see if there are any similar records using the similar_text() function. I'll present the records from the second stage to the user to prompt them to see if they really want to add the record name they have just entered. If there are any improvements to this I'll be happy to take them on board. I confess that by far and away my preferred solution would be to get the staff of the section using the application to put their brains into gear before using it - but I suppose if everybody did this some of us might be out of a job.

Another possibility would be to find a list of commonly misspelled/misused words like (there, their, they're) and substitute all possibilities with one version for the purposes of checking the title. Also removing stop words like (the, of, and) and then comparing titles would be a good method. Hint: lots of these methods are used in Keyword finding algorithms. You might also make the process more interactive for your users. If you find a title through the above methods that seems like a hit present it to the user and say: "The following records were already found in the system, please verify that the record you are adding is unique."

RE: [PHP] passwd protected page[Scanned]
Bibhas, I've seen many references to the phpBB application on this list in the past and had a look at it in detail some weeks ago. It's a fairly large application but the way they deal with sessions is instructive. If I've understood it correctly they don't use the session management features in PHP but create their own. When a user visits the site a session is created with a unique identifier. This is then stored in a sessions table in the database. The session ID is passed to other pages as the user visits them either by use of cookies or by appending the session id to each url. If the user logs in then the user id is also stored in the relevant sessions table and other information about the user is pulled from a users table for that user id. If you download the application - www.phpbb.com - you'll find the relevant code in the sessions file within the includes directory - though they have recently upgraded the application so this might have changed.

$current_date is a unix timestamp.
If $current_date is a Saturday or Sunday, I want to quit the current

clause that checks if $issue_day_of_week is Sunday or Saturday is included
in my while-loop, everything stalls. Without it, everything goes smooth.
What am I missing?
while ($i <= $number_of_days)
{
$issue_date = strftime("%Y-%m-%d", $current_date);
$issue_month = date("m", $current_date);
$issue_day = date("d", $current_date);
$issue_day_of_week = date("l", $current_date);
// Check that $issue_date isn't Saturday or Sunday
if ($issue_day_of_week == "Sunday" | $issue_day_of_week == "Saturday")

Is the $Namak variable being correctly passed to the query?
Have you tried to echo out the query just to see precisely what is being passed to

On the first line of the query:

You might need a space after ')' before passing it to MySQL.

RE: [PHP] jpeg thumbnail errors
Tony, When I first began dabbling with PHP a year or more ago I did try to reconfigure PHP to gain support for PDF files. I was using SUSE 7.0 at the time. I was determined to get to grips with configuring packages such as PHP, Apache and MySQL but I seemed to run into one problem after another. I'm determined to have another go at this. With this in mind I've set one computer up with an older Linux distribution and intend to have a go at LFS over the next few weeks. Hopefully I will eventually overcome my fears of configuring software on a Linux system. Thanks for the help.

I gave up :-( What's your exact problem, Michael? I'm so new to PHP4 (done nothing at all with PHP for the last 3-4 years, now I need to), that I'm reading, practicing reading etc. I don't even have any questions, yet, I'm so green. But I *do* know that I have compiled in jpg and png support to PHP 4.2.3 (phpinfo). On Red Hat 7.2 +++, './configure --with-gd' - and other things, of course.

RE: [PHP] Wrap content with a layout file
I generally do the same - have a header and footer file which create a three column table. The content then fits into the central column. Other ways of doing this might be to use frames (though many disapprove of frames) or to use the iframe tag - the latter is something I only recently became aware of but can be quite useful and is not as messy as frames. Michael Egan -Original Message- From: Patrick Lebon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 23 September 2002 06:47 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Wrap content with a layout file Is there a way to create a layout file that can wrap around other pages with data in them. I am currently using two includes (one at the start of the page and one at the end) but was wondering if there is a better way to do this.
