[PHP] Using 'Location' and variables
I'm sure that this is possible, but I haven't found any info/examples on it
yet,..
What I have is a php script that processes data that been submitted by a
FORM.
That's OK,...
At the end of my script, depending upon the processing, I want to GOTO
another php script, that's also OK, I can simply use the function
header("Location:destination.php");
However, I have a whole lot of variables that were initially submitted, and
I want to take some of them with me when I go to the new destination.php.
Now, I know I can just tack them on the end like a POST, but I'd prefer to
NOT get them there in the URL, like a GET does,... any ideas ??
Thanks in advance,
Jim.

[PHP] ISP in Australia
Hi all, Just looking to see if anyone knows of any ISP in Australia, that offers PHP and MySQL for their customer usage. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Using 'Location' and variables
Thanks for your reply John.
In fact I'm using the method you describe where the same script is used to
both display and process the form.
However, in the area where I'm doing the processing, I want to redirect at
the end of it and still be able to use some of the variables in the location
I'm going to go to. Now I know I can just whack them on the end of the
location header:
header("Location:
http://www.somehost.com/somescript.php?name=fred&age=5";);
But I don't want to use this method, I'd rather something similar to GET.
BTW I'm using PHP4+

Re: [PHP] Using 'Location' and variables
John,
I never even thought of just including the page I was wanting to
redirect/switch to. I was always ending my processing portion with a
header("Location : ") thingy in all of my scripts. As no output comes
out during the processing stage it should all work.
It seems so straight forward now, thank you.
Jim.

told us why you need to redirect to this new page might help. Simply doing
the processing then including the new page should work fine, as long as the
processing part doesn't do any output. A simple example:

[PHP] Downloading files/docs
Hi all,
I've seen some posts and info elsewhere regarding downloading files - mostly
stating problems with the way IE handles this function.
What I'm trying to do is :
1 - offer files,.. .doc, .zip and others
2 - allow the user to click on a URL, or button
3 - have the options to Open or Save
4 - NOT have MS-Word come up within the browser window if user
chooses to Open
5 - IE save the file properly
Netscape seems to do all the rights things. But I want to get IE working,
(as best I can).
I'm using the following code-snippet within a PHP script,... browser type
gets checked earlier in the script,..
Currently, to avoid IE displaying .doc files within its window, I've
prevented the user from 'left-clicking' on the file's anchor with some
simple JS and forcing them to do a Save-As, which seems to work for IE, but
Netscape defaults to the URL for the name of the file :-(
Is there a better way to achieve all of the above ??
Is it possible to stop IE from opening the .doc within its browser window ??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim.
// get the filename
$filename = $dataDIR . $fileid . ".dat";
if ($browserType == "IE") {
$attachment="";
} else {
$attachment="attachment;";
}
$attachment="";
$fn=urldecode($realname);
header('Content-Disposition:'.$attachment.' filename="'.$fn.'"');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Description: download file from site');
header('Content-Length: '.filesize($filename) );
header('Pragma: no-cache');
header('Expires: 0');
readfile($filename);

Re: [PHP] Changed localhost?
You sure Apache's still running ?? Here's a few things to check: 1. Check, that you still have the process running ? Processors dude. 2. Look at Apache's log files and see what happens after you try starting it. Errors ?? 3. Get to a prompt and type the command "netstat -na", without the quotes and look for listening ports - out of the box most daemons listen on ALL interfaces at port 80, meaning 127.0.0.1 is OK. You have had you config changed - but then you'd know that ? Proto Local Address Foreign AddressState TCP0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING The above means something, Apache in my case, is listening on all interfaces at port 80. 4. Does 'localhost' still resolve to 127.0.0.1 properly ? or has your cable installation conveniently changed your HOSTS file ? Check your file's contents ! Good luck. Jim.

Re: [PHP] Is there a "GoTo Page" Function?
Not without seeing some html code. If you haven't altered any of the other font/color settings I'd have thought they'd all be the same color, black. Look up some info on 'Cascaded Style Sheets',... then it'd be as simple as and all of the text/alignment, etc,.. takes the settings of whatever is defined in "blue". Jim.

[PHP] Re: What permissions for uploading?
That'd depend upon who owns the directory and what user your web server is running as. If the folder, or directory is owned by the user the server is running as then the permissions should be OK. Due to your error message I'd guess they don't have write access. Permissions of 766 might be enough. Although I'd make sure that the directory is owned by the user the server is running as and then make it 700. You're in a non-Windows environment - yes ?? Jim.

[PHP] Re: HTTP_REFERER
Tom,
I sort of do the same here,... think you'll find that index.html is the
'default index' for a directory when a page isn't specified on your web
server and that she's going to http://www.domain.com
Hope this helps.
Jim.

Re: [PHP] Downloading files
Using this method,.. works OK if you choose to save the file, however if you choose to open the file you get a weird behaviour where IE says it can't find the file and a subsequent prompt to create a new one. Does anyone know why it does this and how to overcome it ? At this stage I've resorted to using some simple javascript to prevent a user clicking on a file and advising them to use right-click save-as until I come up with a more reliable method.
