[PHP] sharing variables

[Leo]

hi

i'm currently programming a php web application and i have the following 
problem: i need a login scheme; programmed a simple one. Whichever page the 
user reaches, in some i need their userid, for extra validation. so 
basically, i'm looking for a mechanism to share a variable between multiple 
pages, but as i don't always use forms, i think i can't use url-encoding 
with the a-tag to make the userid available for all scripts.
maybe there is support for logging users in, i don't know
anyone an idea?

[PHP] Static functions

[Leo Spalteholz]

Hi, I'm a bit of a newbie to PHP, I've done some stuff in Java/VB/C++ 
but I'm having a few problems finding info on this issue.

Does PHP support something like static functions in Java?

for example in Java I can write:

public class someClass {
public static void someMethod() {}
}

and then in another file:

import someClass;

public class anotherClass {
someClass.someMethod()
}

Is there some way to access methods of a class without creating an 
object in PHP?
Right now I just include the file (not using a class) and then call 
the function but I would like to have it more seperate.

Thanks,
Leo

Re: [PHP] Re: Static functions

very interesting link.  While some of the cases where he takes java to 
be the winner are simply personal preference, I do agree with most of 
his conclusions.
Best points are the one about declaring variables(3), declaring 
constants(6), using libraries(7), class member scope(17), and 
exception handling(20).  Ok thats my (very unrealistic) wishlist for 
PHP :)

[PHP] Include() problems

[Leo Spalteholz]

I just ran into a somewhat strange problem with an include failing.
I have the following in my script:
include(dirname(__FILE__)."/LNScreens/LNScrMain.php");
include(dirname(__FILE__)."/LNDataBase/LNDataBase.php");

The first file is included just fine, but the LNDataBase file fails 
(Failed opening for inclusion).  My directory structure is:

/LNDataBase
LNDataBase.php
/LNScreens
LNScrMain.php
index.php

The file exists and it seems to be the exact same syntax as what I 
used to include the other file.  What else could possibly be wrong?

Thanks for any help,

[PHP] MAC address user recognition?

[Leo Spalteholz]

I've been thinking about how to do authentication and user recognition 
for my site without cookies.  I had this idea but I don't really know 
if its possible at all.
If I got the IP address from the request could I use ARP to get the 
MAC address for that IP?  If so I could compare that MAC address with 
a (previously obtained) database of addresses and if it matches they 
would automatically be logged in.  So I could preauthorize my friends 
and remember other users once they have signed up.

It seemed like a cool idea but is this at all possible or am I just 
insane?

Thanks,
Leo

Yeah I'm not super concerned about security and such, this is only a 
personal page so something simple will do the job.  I think I'll just 
end up hacking together my own encryption algorithm and then storing 
encrypted passwords in a cookie.  
Hehe.  Security through obscurity, everyones favorite way :)

[PHP] MSSQL Stored procedure return values

[Leo Spalteholz]

Hi,
I'm doing a small project at work with php, ms sql server on w2k IIS5.  
All the data access is done through stored procedures.  This seems to 
be working fine, the record sets are returned and the stored 
procedures execute without error however I can't get any return 
values from them.  
For example I have the following php code:

// setup stored procedure
$sp = mssql_init("spGetReseller", $conObj);
mssql_bind($sp, "@ResellerID", $loginID, SQLINT4, FALSE);
mssql_bind($sp, "@ReturnCode", &$retVal, SQLINT4, TRUE);

$rs = mssql_execute($sp);

So the @ReturnCode variable is defined as OUTPUT in the SP and I am 
passing in $retVal by reference.  This is my stored procedure.

ALTER PROCEDURE spGetReseller
@ResellerID int
, @ReturnCode int OUTPUT
AS

SELECT Something
FROM SomeTable
WHERE SomeField = 1

-- set return code
IF @@ROWCOUNT > 0
  SET @ReturnCode = 0
ELSE
  SET @ReturnCode = 1

This should set the returncode to be 1 if there are no rows returned.  
However no matter what, it will never get this returncode from the 
stored procedure.  (ie $retVal will not be changed by the mssql_bind 
function)  I ran the stored procedure and the @returnCode variable is 
set correctly there so that isn't the problem.  

Does anyone know what could be the problem there?  I guess I could 
return @ReturnCode in the recordset but that would be kinda hokey.

Thanks,
Leo

Re: [PHP] PHP Script

[Leo Spalteholz]

Hm.  Looks pretty nice.  Cool page and the demos are pretty slick.  
But I can't really see what it would be useful for.  Maybe I missed 
something but it seems to be a sort of InstallShield for php scripts.  
While this sounds like a good idea, its actually quite useless.  What 
is normally involved in "installing" a php script?  If its simple you 
just upload it to the server and if its complex you upload it and 
then do some script specific configuration.
So what exactly does this installer of yours do?  Apparently it just 
runs through a few screens, yet does nothing constructive, and then 
starts the main script.  So you set some variables but where are 
these used?  The only configuration a php script may need will be so 
specific that a general interface cannot handle it.

Would be kinda cool if your scirpt did a search on icq.com and if it 
found a result then the ICQ # is valid..  of course that means you're 
relying on the icq server to be up and the search page to stay 
consistant..

[PHP] Executing PHP code in a database

[Leo Spalteholz]

Hi,
I have a table that stores all the "boxes" that my website will 
display on the sides.  So far the content is simply stored in a text 
field and then substituted for the box body.  However this way I 
can't have any php code in the boxes...  What I thought I could do is 
have another field that will contain any php code that I want for 
that box and then execute that after I read it from the database.

So I have two questions basically.
1. How would I go about executing php code in a string?
Say I have $code = "md5('blah');"  how would I execute the code in  
the string?
2. If I instead include a file would it have access tio the local 
variables?

Ie.  In a class I have this:
$strContent = "blah, this is the content I got from the database";
include("includefilefromdatabase.php");

Is the $strContent variable then available from the include file?

Thanks,
Leo

Ok shoot me if I'm wrong here I just vaguely recall this from some 
Java course I took.   I think && and & are identical except that if 
you use &, PHP will not short circuit the expression.
like:

$x = 0;
if(false && $x++)
print "impossible";
print $x;   // should print 0


$x = 0;
if(false & $x++)
print "impossible";
print $x;   // should print 1

Warning: This may only work for Java or maybe I just can't remember it 
properly..

Hm.  I had a similar problem.  In my login verification script I would 
run through a bunch of checks, verify the login/pass in the database 
and if it was correct I would start a session, register the variables 
and redirect the user.  This wouldn't work most of the time in IE.  
For some reason it always took a few tries to login.  Then I moved 
the call to session_start() to the beginning of the script and it 
worked fine.  Not sure if this applies to your problem though...

Are you absolutely sure the permissions are all set correctly?  I 
can't see how this problem could be coming from anything else.  
Remember to give the IUSR_YOURMACHINENAME account execute access to 
php.exe as well as access to uploadtemp and sessionsdata directories.  
Also in IIS enable script execution for your website or virtual

Firstly, as David mentioned, if the user is not allowed to access the 
page then the link shouldn't be there in the first place.  If there 
is no link then there is no need to refresh the page or generate an 
error or anything.  If you really want to you can have the link but 
instead of an href to the page you would replace it with a Javascript 
alert saying "access denied".
But thats beside the point because if they enter the restricted page 
into the address bar directly it also has to deny them access.  You 
should write a script that checks the users credentials and then 
include it at the top of EVERY page.  If the user can no be validated 
then an access denied message is displayed.  Even better, if a user 
cannot be validated then you can redirect them back to where they 
came from (referrer).  That would effectively achive your goal by 
refreshing the original page no matter where they;re coming from.

No you shouldn't rely on it to do anything important but in your case 
its just where the user will be redirected to.  Even if someone fakes 
the referrer to point to the restricted page it will just go into an 
infinite loop.

Code seems fine.  You probably are never entering into that if 
statement or the referrer is outputting something unexpected.
Use some print statements to debug this..  

print("{$userlevel} and {$neededlevel}");
print($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

Of course make sure $no_permission actually contains a string...

OH I think I've got it.  the problem is that you're including the 
page before you set the message.  So of course in the include the 
$message will still be an empty string and therefor not display it. 

so rearange the two lines like this:
$message = $no_permission;
include ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

and it should work.

HTH,
Leo

[PHP] Problems when trying to use ibm_db2 extension

[Leo Jokinen]

Hi all,

I've been banging my head into the wall cause I can't get ibm_db2 
extension working with Apache 2.0.59 and PHP 5.2.1 (as apache module).

(Operating system is winxp pro SP2)

For some reason, this code is working on command line but not when 
placed to htdocs folder:






Command line output:

C:\>php c:\db2_test.php
Function db2_connect() exists
Trying to connect DB2 database..
OK: Connection established


Web output:

Unknown function db2_connect()


Some extra output:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function db2_connect() in 
F:\www\services.itella.net\app\webroot\index.php on line 57


Also, phpinfo() won't say nothing that module ibm_db2 is in use

More info:

php_ibm_db2.dll file is in folder C:/php-5.2.1/ext

php.ini:
extension_dir = "C:/php-5.2.1/ext"
extension=php_ibm_db2.dll

httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
LoadModule php5_module "C:/php-5.2.1/php5apache2.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/php-5.2.1/"


Can someone point out the right direction for me?

Regards

Leo Jokinen

[PHP] Re: Problems when trying to use ibm_db2 extension

[Leo Jokinen]

Problem solved:
I restarted my computer and after that apache loaded ibm_db2 extension.

My conclusion:
1. When you add some extensions to php.ini, you need to restart windows 
in order to get those extensions available through apache
2. However, those extensions are instantly available if you use php 
command line interface


Anyone disagree?

[PHP] Poping array which has the matching value

[Leo Liu]

Hi,

I wanted to search through the array and pop out the value which match my 
search criteria. For example

If array has {a,b,c,d,e,f}

I wanna search for "c" and once I found it, took it out from the array.

So the result of the array after operation will be

{a,b,d,e,f}

If I do array_pop(); function it will only pop the last element inside the 
array and the array will become

{a,b,c,d,e}

Anyway to search the desire element inside the array and took it out from the 
array?

Regards,
Leo

[PHP] array_intersect problem

[Leo Liu]

Hi,
   
  I try to intersect associative array and it seems to fail to do so. Can 
anyone show me a walk around?
   
  For example I have
   
  array1
   
  Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[imageID] => 1
)

[1] => Array
(
[imageID] => 2
)

[2] => Array
(
[imageID] => 3
)

[3] => Array
(
[imageID] => 4
)
)
   
  And array 2
   
  Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[imageID] => 6
)

[1] => Array
(
[imageID] => 3
)
)
   
  After intersection instead of me getting 3 as a result, I got the array 1 
unchanged. Seems like intersection doesn't take place at all. Anyway to solve 
this problem?
   
  Regards,
   
  Leo

Re: [PHP] Comment management

[Rocco Di Leo]

Hi Tedd,

you may want to check out a Blog-Software like Wordpress if it fulfills your
requirements and relaunch your website using it. From what i see on your
page, it could pretty much replace the functionality and add the benefits of
comments, nice urls, etc

Hi:

I posted this on the web-design list, but didn't receive any leads.

I want to continue what I've been doing, which is to offer various
code solutions for people via my web site, but I would like to add a
feature where people can comment on the code. Such as if they found
it useful, or found an error, or general comment -- you know, you've
seen this before. Also, I want the code to be secure and allow me to
edit users comments.

Does anyone have any recommendations or can point me to a simple
content manager for such a purpose?

I know I could write it myself, but I would rather not reinvent the
wheel, if possible.

Thanks.
