[PHP] PHP SESSION DURATION.....
Hi, How do I go about making a session last longer that the duration of the browser? Say I wanted to make a session last for 1 month, so that I could close the browser as often I wanted, and the session would still be there. I found the explanations of the session function on PHP.net quite confusing. G... Oh for good documentation!!! Should I use session_cache_expire? Well, php.net says: The cache expire is reset to the default value of 180 stored in session.cache_limiter at request startup time. What about session_set_cookie_params? But php.net says the effect of this function only lasts for the duration of the script? Are session variables stored server-side or does that apply to cookies only? And what about session cookies? Are session cookies stored with the client? Please help Many thanks Keith -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] How does one run PHP scripts in 'silent mode' ???
Hi all, I need to know how to run a php script without it popping open a browser window. $cmd = 'start http://www.somedomain.com/somedir/somefile.php &' exec( $cmd ); I have tried using exec & system with '&' at the end of the command but that does not seem to work. It always opens a browser window even though the script has no echo/print statements in it.

[PHP] I need a script for deleting mail from mail boxes...
Hi All, I need to know how to write a script for deleting mail from a Linux server. Essentially I need to be able to delete all mail with a date-stamp less than some threshold date. Then I want this script to run from a regular cron job. I am not sure if this is doable in PHP or whether I must write a shell script, but either way I need some pointers on how to go about it. Any help would be much appreciated. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] [OTHER TOPIC - Please Help] Looking for file sync software (Linux)
Hi all, [Apologies for the off-topic question. Hope you will bear with me] Given that this is a PHP General newsgroup I figured there's a good chance someone here would know the answer to this question. Can anyone here recommend a file-sync application/package for Linux servers that has the following features: 1. Enables file sync across 2 drives on same server. 2. Enables file-sync between remote and host servers. 3. Enables file-sync for whole drives as well as for selected folders. 4. Includes some aspect of GUI for easy task management. 5. Includes function for restoring (again, whole drives or just selected folders). I have come across the likes of 'rsync' and 'unison' but they both seem to be command line intensive and I can't find much in the way of descent documentation for them. For instance I don't understand if or how they achieves 'Data Restore', and for my purposes the ability to restore is a prerequisite. Any advice would be most appreciated.

[PHP] simple I'm sure
Following loop works fine !
but I don't want $art_nr_1 (which is 4564)
I want to have $art_nr_$i
but if you use it you just get 1,2,3,4
for ($i=1; $i<50; $i++) :
$varid = "quant".$i ;
if ($$varid != "") {
echo

It's bizarre it should work but I get back just 1, 2 or 3
Although with this just to test it works fine
and i get back
And really weird it this version

$quantid = "quant".$i ;

You aren't going to be able to build a php application with frontpage or any other WYSIWYG HTML editor. You are going to have to type it out, the PHP that is. If this is something that you need done right away, I suggest you hire an experienced PHP programmer.

Re: [PHP] Any conflict with $_POST when 2 users concurrently submitting the same form using POST method?
Craige, Marc, Nitsan,Bastien, Thanks for your reply! This is my understanding and comment from your replies: (1) If the web server do have assign anonymous request ID to each HTTP request from client browser, and assign $_POST to each request ID and works within request ID scope, this is fine with session or without session. (2) If the above is not the case, then session is required. However web server still need to provide each session ID a $_POST array and works within this scope. (3) If the web server does not work in case(1) neither case(2), then include user ID into $_POST is appropriate, e.g. $_POST[userID][input_submitted_name][input_submitted_value] instead of just $_POST][input_submitted_name][input_submitted_value]. So, which of the 3 cases above is appropriate? Thanks! "Craige Leeder" wrote in message news:4a2e85b3@gmail.com... While yes $_POST is a supergloabal, even a superglobal has it's own scope. The scope of $_POST is to the call of the user to the web server. Therefor, no User A's information will not be overwritten by User B's information. Hope this helps. Let me know if you want any further clarification. This was just a very simplified answer.

Thx for clarification! Keith Other posters have explained, but I'm not sure their explanations are clear. Think of it like this: User A posts to "confirmation.php". When the server receives the request, it starts up a Process and fills the $_POST array with whatever came in, then runs confirmation.php with that information. User B posts to "confirmation.php". When the server receives the request, it starts up a Process and fills the $_POST array with whatever came in, then runs confirmation.php with that information. The KEY thing is that the process in each case is entirely separate. Each makes it's own copy of the script in its own bit of memory, and each has its own version of $_POST in its own bit of memory. The two posts can happen at the same time and they will still be completely independent. The fact that $_POST is called "superglobal" does not mean that it is shared by separate requests - it is not even shared by requests in the same session. It just means that it is already declared and you don't need to use the "global" keyword to access it in your PHP pages. -- Peter Ford phone: 01580 89 Developer fax: 01580 893399 Justcroft International Ltd., Staplehurst, Kent -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Is there limitation for switch case: argument's value?

I encounter a funny limitation here with switch case as below:
The value for $sum is worked as expected for 1 to 8, but not for 0.
When the $sum=0, the first case will be return, which is "sum=8".
Is there any limitation / rules for switch case? Thanks for advice!

Hi Keith,
Try replacing 'switch($sum)' with 'switch(true)'.
Note that unless you have very good reasons for using a switch
statement like this, and know exactly why you're doing it, it's often
better just to use it in the normal fashion. i.e.:
switch ($sum)
{
case 8:
break;
case 7:
case 6:
break;
case 2:
case 1:
break;
case 0:
break;
default:
break;
}
Some people like the syntax you've presented but honestly, there's
usually a better way to do it.
This is also somewhat faster too, although you may only notice the
difference in very tight loops where you're counting every nanosecond.
Regards,
Torben

Thanks! Adam.

Actually I thought that switch block is compatible with if/elseif/else block
but more efficient if the cases is >3.
Because I like to have short coding without repetition, so I group the
similar cases together.
Thanks for your explanation! I know where is my mistake already and I've
learnt a lesson today!

I've never understood why people use switch statements like this as in
reality you are using it more like an if/else block, but anyway.
The reason why your code is not working is that you are passing into
the switch the value of 0, or false, which means that when any of
those $sum == N conditionals comes up as false (say $sum == 8 ), then
that is what is returned because they match up. In PHP's eyes, 0 ==
false in switch statements.
To fix your code, change the switch( $sum ) to switch( true ):
switch( true )
{
case ($sum == 8):
echo "sum=8\n";
break;
case ($sum == 7 || $sum == 6):
echo "sum=7 or 6\n";
break;
case ($sum == 2 || $sum == 1):
echo "sum=2 or 1\n";
break;
case ($sum == 0):
echo "sum=0\n";
break;
default:
echo "sum=3/4/5\n";
break;
}
Or, write your switch like this:
switch( $sum )
{
case 8:
echo "sum=8\n";
break;
case 6:
case 7:
echo "sum=7 or 6\n";
break;
case 1:
case 2:
echo "sum=2 or 1\n";
break;
case 0:
echo "sum=0\n";
break;

echo "sum=3/4/5\n";
break;

Hahaha! Actually this is my first time coding, so I still adapting the
correct way to do it.
FYI, for the sake of minimizing the coding and viewing space occupied of the
code, I even replace the switch block with array if the cases are just
merely selecting pool of variables/categories/parameters!
I'm still learning the best practice for coding. :-)

Re: [PHP] Is there limitation for switch case: argument's value?
Oh I see. I missed out one thing too.
There is no need to put the same code under both case 7 & 6 separately, but
just under case 6 will do.
This is simpler in fact!
Thanks Tedd and Torben!
I'll fix to this style from now onwards.

Hi Keith,
Glad it works! I'm not sure how inverting the case statement helps you
minimize the code in each case. As both I and Adam showed, you can do
the same thing more efficiently (and IMHO much more readably) like
this:
switch ($sum)
{
case 8:
break;
case 7:
case 6:
break;
case 2:
case 1:
break;
case 0:
break;
default:
break;
}
Additionally, I would argue there's nothing different below other than
it's even more easier to read and understand:
switch ($sum)
{
case 0:
break;
case 1:
case 2:
break;
case 6:
case 7:
break;
case 8:
break;

[PHP] phpmailer send() always return true even the email address is invalid

However, the $mail->Send() method always return true even I've set the $mail->AddAddress with invalid email address. I've tried with valid address. It's good and I've received the email. Then I set it with invalid x...@gmail.com, the return value is true, and I have received email from mailer daemon that gmail has rejected the email. Then I set the $mail->Address with invalid name & invalid domain. This time, the $mail->Send() still return as true, however, I didn't receive email from mailer daemon this time. Any idea why this happened? Any solution for me or suggestion to use other send mail class/function that support SMTP authentication? Thanks!

I wish to know also if the email can reach the recipient or not. Actually, I have tested with localhost in my computer, with ArGoSoft Mail Server, I'm just using php mail() function. When the email server was off, or invalid email account of localhost, or sending to external email provider (which I have yet to configured the DNS, so ArGoSoft cannot resolve it), I'll receive false from the mail() function. I need to use this info to inform my user whether the mail is successfully sent out or not. Any idea why PHP mail() function can do this in my computer? Thanks for your valuable advice!

[PHP] Error when execute header('location: otherpage.php') after email been sent out. Any Workaround?
I have a user sign up page that collects sign up information from user with
form.
This form will then be submitted to another process.php page for setting up
the user account and send email to the user.
After the email been sent out, the user will be directed back to homepage
with header("location: index.php").
However, error happen with warning: [Cannot modify header information -
headers already sent by...]
Any workaround for this?

Re: [PHP] Error when execute header('location: otherpage.php') after email been sent out. Any Workaround?
Hi all,
Yes, you are right, it was due to echo for testing purpose not been
commented out prior to header().
However, there is hidden root cause too -- PHPMailer will echo invalid
address to the screen.
When I have tested with 1 valid email address and 1 invalid with
someth...@locahost, PHPMailer will echo out the invalid someth...@localhost.
However, in this case, $mail->send() still will return value of TRUE as long
as at least 1 email been sent out.
After I have commented out all these [echo], no more header issue occur
again.
It's works too using Floyd's recommended javascript! However, the message
will echoed out first before redirect to index.php, but this is fast enough
to be neglectable.
I have one more question regarding error logging.
I have set as below:
ini_set('log_errors', 1);
ini_set('error_log', "http://domain.com/log/logfile.txt";);
ini_set('error_reporting', 'E_ALL');
ini_set('error_append_string', '\r\n');
I have simulated an error which can be displayed on screen because I've put
ini_set('display_errors',1).
However, the error was not been logged.
Which format should I used for log file? *.log or *.txt?
Since I'm using third party web hosting, I can only access web directory,
should I use
[http://domain.com/log/logfile.*] or
[C:\some_path\domain.com\log\logfile.*] or just
[/log/logfile.*]?
Thanks!

Another solution would be to use JavaScript. In your process.php script
you could do this:
print<<
window.location.href="index.php"
here;
Not strictly a PHP solution but it works.
Take care,
Floyd

You don't need a workaround. The header("Location...") thing will only
work if you have not sent any content to the browser yet. That includes
even a single space or newline.
It looks like in your process.php page, something is being output to the
browser. Are you able to do a code dump of that page?
Thanks,

Re: [PHP] Re: Best way to test for form submission?
I've encountered issue with checking $_POST['submit']
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {}
If the form consists of checkbox/radio and text field, some of my forms can
be submitted by just press [ENTER] at the end of one of the text field. In
this case, the $_POST['submit'] is set even the submit button was not
clicked.
However, in some of my forms, $_POST['submit'] will not be set if I submit
the form by pressing [ENTER] in one of the text field.
So, if the later case happen, I need to remind the user to explicitly click
the [Submit] button.
I don't know why or in what condition that pressing [ENTER] will not submit
the whole form include the $_POST['submit'].

The best way I've found is to do something like this:
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{}
Note that in-place of submit you can put the name of any form element. I
chose submit here, because every form should have a submit button. Note
also that this will only work if you have given your submit button a
name:

[PHP] session.gc_ : maxlifetime vs probability/divisor : which has higher priority?
From what I read, the session will remain even after maxlifetime until the next round session garbage clearance. This is fine for me. 1) However, will the garbage clearance delete the session whose maxlifetime not reach yet? 2) maxlifetime is referrenced to most recent script execution time which has session_start() statement or the first time this session id been created? 3)What does the statement below mean? "If different scripts have different values of session.gc_maxlifetime but share the same place for storing the session data then the script with the minimum value will be cleaning the data." Does this mean that each script file called within same session, can have different maxlifetime? I thought each time each script been called for a particular session will overwrite the previous setting if I have I set it with ini_set(). Does the selection of minimum value of the statement above applied to individual session, or refer to all session within the same folder? 4) How to make sure that the PHP session remained as long as user not logout, and if the maxlifetime reach, I can prompt user to decide whether to continue the session or abort it.

[PHP] LOGOUT - Reset Session
Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to create a Logout Function and Link. My site uses a standard
htaccess file for its authentication method. After the brower requests the
username and password they have access to the protected site.
Then users can jump to a special Messaging section where I wrote a php
script that retieves the $REMOTE_USER value and checks it against a message
database.
My problem is that I'd like to have a logout link that will dump the values
the user had entered for their username and password so that they can no
longer access the messages, neither with a back button nor just by going
back to the site url. But since I am retrieving the $REMOTE_USER value
using PHP4, it seems some how it remebers the username and password. Is
that because I need to destroy the session and remove or replace the session
cookies? I do not know what the session name is, nor how to check it.
Here is what I have tried so far:
function logout() {
session_start();
session_destroy();
setcookie("SES_NAME","","","/");
header("Location: http://www.yahoo.com";);
exit;
}
My results were that everytime I click the logout link, I can just press
back on the browser and go back where I was and continue using the Messaging
application.
Thank you for any help you might provide...

RE: [PHP] text area question
Only if you're concerned about those few whitespace characters increasing your file size. Granted, there mey be PHP output related issues to a multi-line whitespace within an echo or print operation but, so far as the actual HTML is concerned, white space is white space and it should all be ignored by the browser's rendering engine.

On the Linux box compile PHP as CGI (i.e. don't configure it as an apache mod). Then you can just run your script from the the command-line.

[PHP] displaying a select number of rows from a sql query
Ok, here is the question: I have a sql query, nothing special. It has 3 variables. I have created the php code to display the variables in context with the html code. I need it to loop a select number of times, most likely twice, and therefore display the first two rows of the query. In other words, querying the database for a set of rows, it needs to display the first two of the rows on the page. Here is the code I have tried so far, which has either looped continuosly or displayed the top row twice (edited for security): What's New? _< ?> "> Thanks for any help you can provide. -Keith Posehn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: displaying a select number of rows from a sql query

[PHP] Php Form Issue
Hello, I've managed to get a series of javascripts to work exactly as I wanted. They check all and uncheck all checkboxes with a single click of a control checkbox. Unfortunately, the information has to be sent to php. As soon as I add the [] brackets to an input name, the javascript no longer functions. I'll look up a javascript mailing list next, but I figured there must be some other way to get php to recieve the data and convert it to an array. Does anyone have an idea how I can make the php script gather all the multiple &browser=lynx&browser=mosaic&browser=explorer instead of only the last entry? Thanks for any help, Keith

[PHP] php "Losing" apache environment vars
Greetings list, I have run into a problem that has me at my wits end. We run an affiliate program, and have forum software (phpBB) wrapped in our menu system. There are 2 sides to the site, Affiliates and Admin, and I have 2 installs of the board using the same database. This all works fine. The mind-boggling problem is that while the board works perfectly from the Affiliate side of the site, it exhibits some strange behavior from the Admin side of the site. In particular, we are using an apache environment variable to point to our includes directory, and any time an http post is made from the admin side of the board, php "loses" the environment vars and throws all kinds of errors about not being able to find the includes. The only difference between the Affiliate and Admin sides is the include used for the actual menu, though the only difference in those files is the actual links that make up the menu. I have never seen this behavior, and was wondering if anyone has seen anything like it before, and possibly found a solution. We are running php 4.3.2, Apache 1.3.26 on FreeBSD 4.5. Any help would be very appreciated. Keith -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Re: Alternet row colors
It's so much easier to use the mod (%) operator:
using the mod operator, you can check if a variable is divisible by some
other number without leaving a remainder.
For this example, we want to change every other row, so we would compare
our $count against 2 to see if it leaves a remainder:
$bg = ($count%2==0) ? "#00" : "FF";
What this line does is FIRST, it checks to see if $count/2 leaves no
remainder. If this is true, it sets the $bg var to "#00"
If it is false, it sets $bg to "#FF"
It only requires the addition of one line of code, and to replace your row
background color with a php variable.
Also, you don't need to use printf(), since you aren't specifying any
formatting.
See code below:
code:---
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM albums where id <15");
$Count = @mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "\n";
echo "IDARTISTTITLELABELPRICE\n";
for ($count = 0; $count < $Count; $count++) {
// Extract post details from database
$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$id = $myrow ['id'];
$artist = $myrow ['artist'];
$title = $myrow ['title'];
$label = $myrow ['label'];
$price = $myrow ['price'];
$bg = ($count%2==0) ? "#00" : "FF";
echo "$id$artist$title$label£$price\n";
}
echo "\n";

Well, first of all Ill just scrap you script since this one is so easy
its better to do it from scratch.
OK, somewhere in your script you have the code that accually
aoutputs the tables you are working with. Im refferring to lines
here, and Im meaning the bottom of this document which is
the scipt you posted, and I have numbered the lines.
Overview of your script.
Line 5 - we print out the table header
Line 11 - 23 is the loop which prints out all the lines, or rows.
Line 24 closes the table.
So what we have to do?
First we need to declare the values we want to use as backround
colours, lets use logical names :
(fig a)
$backcolor1="#fafafa";
$backcolor2="#c0c0c0";
$backcolor=$backcolor1;// we assign color 1
This code has to be written before the loop starts, so somewhere
before line 11.
In the loop (11-23) we need to switch between the colours where
we write the colour of the . So we write something like :
(fig b)
echo '';
// continue with the rest of here
// which is -> your code.
This will print out the first background color, nice. Now we need it
to switch color, so we need to add a little logic. This will be inserted
right before the loop ends (infact, you can put it where ever you like
aslong as its in the loop).
(fig c)
if($backcolor=backcolor1)
$backcolor=$backcolor2;
else
$backcolor=$backcolor1;
As you see above the logic is quite simple, if the color is 1 -> we set it
to 2,
else we set it to 1. If you think of it, if you process this logic over and
over again
you will infact get 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2 all the time, :) Nice!
There you have it, and I hope you got the hang of it.
To take your code and implement my colorswither all you need to do is,
1. On line 21 replace #00 width $backcolor
2. Insert the logic (figc), all lines, into line 19
3. Place fig a in line 4.

Ok, you're getting into semantics now. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.php doesn't say whether it is acceptable or not, but as Robert pointed out, if your script is purely php, omitting it is a good way of eliminating the headache of trailing white spaces that may interfere with headers.

I need some help with a program, I need to get every instance of text between GET TEXT HERE and save the results in a variable. Does anyone have some example code of how to do it along with how to put the results into just one variable? __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

[PHP] create a directory NOT owned by the webserver user
How do I create a directory which is owned by a user other than the user which is running the webserver? The "other" user will change all the time. So I need to be able to set the ownership of a directory, on-the-fly. I have searched the Internet and I have run across things like creating c wrappers and perl scripts using suidperl. I really really want to stay in the PHP world for this, so does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to make this happen. I don't have a problem with using other languages to accomplish this, I would just prefer to stick with PHP on this one. I am running the latest everything, PHP and Apache on Linux of course.

Re: [PHP] How upload files to protected directories?
You should be able to do something using PHP, try looking here, http://www.php.net/manual/cs/features.file-upload.php I think there is just a communication problem between you and your hosting company. They don't allow ftp uploads, but as long as you are doing it through http, it should work fine. There is also some good stuff about this on http://www.phpbuilder.com. I do it all the time and my hosting company couldn't care less, but your's may be different and you may have to switch or should switch to someone else if you can't get the http upload to work.

Can you set, in your script, where the files are uploaded so that the files can be uploaded into a directory that allows you to do a copy.

Re: [PHP] POST Method.
You could can "forward" posted data the same way if you wanted to. I don't know what you mean by forwarding. But if you had one script that was a form and the action was set to a script called action.php and then you wanted to pass that data to yet another script, you could pass the values in the url or a session variable or hidden fields in another form.

Re: [PHP] How do you keep your scripts secure?
"... hate to think that someone could come along and just use it all for free" So you don't really care to contribute to the Open Source community? We would love to have your passwords. I would highly recommend setting an include path outside the web server document root and store you files with passwords in there. If you don't have access to the php.ini file, you can set the include_path in your scripts.

Re: [PHP] FAQ
How many times are people going to complain about no-brainer questions being posted to the list. The fact of the matter is people are going to post things on the list without reading the manual or the FAQ. It goes with the territory. It annoys me too, but there is no good solution for the problem. There is the fact that a lot of people are new and don't really know where to go to find answers. Even if they go to the web site, they still may not know that they need to be looking for information on naming variables with variables or that fopen opens a file or whatever.

RE: [PHP] FAQ
I agree with everything you have said. I just don't think there is a good way to get people from asking these types of questions, without someone sitting there reading every message and filtering them according to topic. We are stuck with a high-volume list where lots of newbies come to ask us questions. If PHP wasn't so damn good and so popular we wouldn't be having this conversation.

It should be $NL = "\n";

[PHP] Finding Hostname of Browser Client.
I have a friend with a PhotoLibrary web site. I am trying to automate some of his work. I tried to create a PHP script/program? that would check for missing files and upload. I am testing on my laptop with loopback. It all works if I give the ftp routine that does the ftp_connect a hostname i.e. Localhost or the name of my machine. But if I use 127.0.0.1 it fails to connect. Ideally I would like to use $HTTP_REMOTE_ADDR to set the address but as it insist on the name I am stuck. Ideally I would like to run the script and have the ftp server on the machine that he uses to dial into the ISP i.e. Dynamically allocated IP address. I suspect that his ISP is not going to resolve an address to such a machine. Any ideas ?

[PHP] Re: mail() & getenv() problems (after 4.1.2 update)...
I'm having the same problem -
I've been using the mail() command for quite some time now and it's been
working 100% and executing immediately.
Suddenly, this morning, it is taking about 60 seconds to send mail, delaying
the display of the php web page by that same amount of time.
I have checked the mail server and sending mail from the command prompt
(linux) and there is no delay there.
Does anybody have any clue? I even momentarily downgraded to 4.1.0 to make
sure it wasnt a bug in 4.1.2

[PHP] Re: mail() & getenv() problems (after 4.1.2 update)...
Just to report back to the group, the mail() delay problem was solved by
putting entries into /etc/hosts to speed up reverse DNS lookups. (Worked
fine before 4.1.2, but I guess there's some new code in there somewhere!)
Paul's getenv() problem was a simple one, he forgot the double-quotes!

[PHP] Curl output to an array -- HELP!!
Ok, lets say I have some code here:
$result = array();
$ch = curl_init ("https://www.myverificationplace.com/verify.asp";);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120); // Set the timeout, in seconds.
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
Now that we see that, how can I make it so that the output from curl, which
is in the variable $result, will be an array, for each line of output?
Some of the line of output looks like this:
ssl_result_message=APPROVED
ssl_txn_id=----
ssl_approval_code=00
I need each of the lines to be turned into a variable. Any ideas as to how I
might go about this?
Thanks,
Keith Posehn

[PHP] php, pdf's and restricting access
Ok, here's my question: I have a set of pdf files that I am selling. I want the users of my site, when they buy the files to be able to only view them if they are acquired, so I need to restrict access to them. Could I set the permissions on them so they are not publicly viewable, and then make a php page that would actually view the files as a specific user? Is there some way to include a pdf file in the page? Any ideas appreciated. Keith Posehn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] session variables between http and https servers.
Okay, here is my dilemma: I have one page, (non-secure), which sets session variables for the users address, items, prices, etc. I have the next page which is secure, and cannot get the session variables from the previous page. Is there a way to pass the variables between the secure and non-secure servers? I cannot send the information in my session variables in the url (that information needs to remain in the session). I have searched the php mailing lists about this and have not found anything that will answer this question. Any and all help, verbose if possible, is appreciated. Thanks!

[PHP] pages will not refresh publically
I have a W2k box setup with IIS and PHP. It works fine, well almost. I can create a .php page and it works great. But, when I edit that page, the old page still shows up pubically. The page is updated if I open it from within the private network. For instance: www.domain.com displays old page, but 192.168.x.x displays updated page.

[PHP] Turn-key output compression support in 4.1.0
Hi All - I see this feature mentioned in the release notes - It could be a nice alternative to mod_gzip if it is what I think it is, but there doesnt seem to be any documentation on it. Does anybody out there have an idea?

Re: [PHP] Header Problem
What happens when it doesn't work, any error messages?
Try:
header ("Location: http://www." . $URL . "/members/index.php");
or
$loc = "Location: http://www." . $URL . "/members/index.php";
header ($loc);
The first suggestion should work.
