[PHP] strip tags not working - any ideas ?
Hello all I am trying to strip all HTML and other tags from a document, I have read the docs and written a 4 line script that should do the job (from my point of view ! ). However it seems to have literally no effect. Heres the script : http://namx.co.uk/webstats/";); if (!($string = strip_tags($file))) print " error ! "; $strings = strtolower($string); print "strings: $strings"; ?> It doesnt lower case anything and it no strips no tags at , bascially its still the same source as it was unchanged. Obviously theres something I am missing here, but what ? Thanks for your thoughts Neil -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] A bit stuck with $$
Not sure if its me or the configuration of PHP
I am trying to get the value of a variable, a variable variable
ie
// From Form
$name = "My Name";
---
// from a list of values in a file
$var="name";
$value=$$var;
i// I thought I could do something as simple as this to get the correct
value "My Name" into $value.
print " $value ";
// should print "My Name", I zip.
I have played around with this bit of code from operators part of the
manual and this does not appear to work, well for me at least.
$foo = "test";
$$bar = "this is";
echo "${$bar} $foo"; // prints "this is test"
Note: it is the same as
echo "$test $foo"; // * for me it only prints out "test"
Any Ideas

Everything is working so far as expected

You are throwing me here.. the problem seems to be that $test
hasn't been assign. By using your examples I can make $test
actually be a value by doing this with the variable variable:
$$foo = 'avalue'; // $test is assinge 'avalue'
Is equivalent as doing:
$test = 'avalue'; // $test is assinge 'avalue'
And thus, without the actual $test assignment:
echo "$test $foo";
will result in:
"avalue test"
HTH,
Curt

[PHP] uploading files with a single quote in the filename
Hi When uploading files using a type=file in a form, if a file is uploaded with a single quote the file gets truncated to whatever is after the quote eg. blah'sblah.txt will be uploaded as sblah.txt Is this a magic quotes issue? What is the best way to deal with it? Neil -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] uploading files with a single quote in the filename
Thanks some answers: turning magic quotes on and off seemed to make no difference 1. single quotes aren't important to me but this application allows users to upload photos which often use descriptive filenames which sometimes have single quotes eg. "my mum's car.jpg". I replace the spaces with underscores but I can't get to the filename before the single quote and the text before it have been stripped. 2. the original filename is only important insofar as it often has descriptive information in it. 3. I can't really answer this question very well except to say that it happens in my development environment (IE6 on win2k with apache on win2k) as well as on my hosting server (IE6 on win2k and apache on linux).

Re: [PHP] uploading files with a single quote in the filename
Thanks Bret I have tried turning all reporting on - error_reporting(E_ALL); but that doesn't reveal anything significant I have looked in the logs but there is nothing significant there. Because the type is file in the form it is not handled like a post - the values go into an array called $_FILES There seems to be no way to intercept this before the filename gets truncated Thanks again Neil "Bret Hughes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Wed, 2005-02-23 at 06:49, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi > When uploading files using a type=file in a form, if a file is uploaded with > a single quote the file gets truncated to whatever is after the quote > eg. > blah'sblah.txt > > will be uploaded as > sblah.txt > > Is this a magic quotes issue? > > What is the best way to deal with it? I ran into a similar deal with a textbox and " a while back but I think the issue was sending it back to the browser after the browser sent it up. In the absence of direct help, I would first look to see where the truncation is occurring ie; what is the browser sending? can you post the value and see what your browser is sending it as? is there anything in the logs with error_reporting set to E_ALL? I found trouble shooting the upload process cumbersome since it would fail without any messages but that was before I started setting the error_reporting to also log messages.

Re: [PHP] uploading files with a single quote in the filename
Hi Brett My form is effectively identical to yours Upload a file: No the first part of the file name is just dropped and the file with the truncated name is saved in the correct place. But with it escaping the quote do you mean that you end up with a file with \ in it? That would be an illegal filename.

On my V5 Sever I get the following Errors Line: 68 Char: 21 Error: Syntax error Code: 0 URL: .. and then Line: 600 Char: 11 Error 'initEditor' is undefined Code 0 URL Now the thing is, when I view source code in IE off both servers the the core_js.php is being read and is visible, the initEditor function is there for all the world to see. If I rename the initEditor function on the V5 version and add a new empty function I still get the same error messages.

Re: [PHP] V4 Vs V5 Issue
Thanks Jim Two things come to mind. 1) Is their any PHP inside you javascript file that needs to be parsed? And if so, is the new V5 install configured in such a way that it parses/processes javascript files? where the old install was processing javascript files. This would be a configuration issue from the actual web server POV. i.e. Apache, lighttpd, etc... Once reconfigured, make sure you restart your web server. Yes there is PHP inside the javascript that is being passed. As an exorcise I was just looking at deleting it all out of the code and seeing what happens, however it is everywhere. The Webserver with the V5 PHP is Apache 2.2.4, but I can not really see where I would make the changes you are suggesting. The older server with V4 is Apache 1.34.4 2) Is your code using short tags in php? This allows the programmer to use enable short tags in the new version of PHP. I think php 5 comes with short tags disabled and version 4 had it enabled by default. This setting would be found in your php.ini file on the server. If you need to change the setting, make sure you restart your httpd server before testing. Short tags is enabled and working most of the application is short tagged.

Re: [PHP] V4 Vs V5 Issue
Thanks Jim Will add some more to this. The PHP that is parsed inside this file and the JS is I think working correctly because the values are populated in the JavaScript output that is being displayed in the IE source viewer. For instance there is a stack of variable that are defined up front, these get information from PHP, these have the same information as the V4 server and I can therefore only presume the correct information.

Adam, > I have always had the opinion that the more comments you put into php > scripts, the slower they will run because there is more data to be read... > Can someone tell me if there is any truth in this or whether commenting has > absolutely 'no' impact on the performance of a script? An answer proposed that there was little impact, but then suggested comments not be used within loops (one presumes from this, the concern is that even a little impact can mount up when repeated many times). Why don't you run a microtime testbench to time a commented and an uncommented loop, settle your mind, and report back with REAL information!? Computer programming is the embodiment of 'write once, run many' manta. Comments are no use at all during execution, but should be intended to be of considerable assistance during the writing/maintaining phases. Never give anyone an excuse for not writing (meaningful) comments - enough energy already goes into creative excuses for that - and you may be the next to suffer from some predecessor's arrogance! There are routines available which take in a developer's script and output a comment-less, stripped-down for maximum slipstream, dense code, version - ready for execution.

=Apologies: I hit 'Send' on the preceding msg, even before signing off...
Duh!
=I have a similar test bench/frame, but which only puts out microtime
differences. My personal/dev PC is an Armada portable with 266MHz processor
and so is considerably more modest than your own beastie.
=I find that because the wee beastie is running PHP, Apache server, MySQL
server, etc, etc; that multiple runs of the same code can yield considerable
differences in execution time - see also warnings in manual, eg 'caching'.
Accordingly I run six cycles and record the last three:
=Herewith:
End of line comment: 4.3118, 4.415713, 4.342078
Inline comment: 4.331843, 4.403446, 4.339082
Loop without comment: 4.415728, 4.399776, 4.420114
=however a quick analysis shows that the fastest-slowest differences are:
.104, .072, and .021 (secs, resp)
=the differences between test types run to:
slow end: .012, and .017
fast end: .020 and .068
=In other words, apart from the first set of tests, any and all differences
are insignificant/disappear into 'noise'. However, if the "Loop without
comment" results make sense to you - you're a better man than I, Gunga Din!
=Concur completely with your own analysis,

Re: [PHP] If statement w/ multiple conditions
Ed,
Assuming there will be a response from the db-tbl, here is another choice:
if ( $lineone . $linetwo . $linethree . $linefour > "" )
{
//show it to the user and ask if they want to change it
}
else
{
//prompt for information
}
Do you mean that the db-tbl will have a row of data even if the four fields
are empty, or if there is no data (in those fields) will that imply that
there is no row (and thus different code needed)?

Yes, and No! If you use the ReturnPath header SOME/most email servers will bounce msgs that they can't deliver to an actual mailbox back to you (others drop such msgs onto an Admin somewhere, lose them in the ether (the msgs not the Admins...) etc, etc). Accordingly, use a distinct address for this/email filing rules. Opt-in email schemes which send a welcome/confirm email to new customers do so for this reason - the only way to verify an email address is to use it (and get some feedback from the addressee). Of course, once you have 'located' a new user, you still have to cope with those who close email accounts without advising you...

I noticed this reference to "$http_response_header" and straightaway quizzed
the manual, only to find that the only references to it (eg file open) lead
nowhere. Have gone through a few other pages, looking to see if I might
happen upon some detail, but failed. Sadly you don't refer to it in the code
snippet provided (below). Any code I've attempted blindly has
failed/reported errors.
Please point me in the right direction (otherwise I guess it'll be time to
download the new v4.3.0-RC and risk the bleeding edge - which according to
the manual does something different anyway...)

Re: [PHP] Test links?
Rob/Beth,
The code should also consider:
1 updating the db if the link is 'valid', ie if previously it had been
'down'!
2 putting an @ to prevent any errors causing a hard-stop at the fopen line
3 that the url/database must contain protocol information, ie
http://www.nytimes.com not www.nytimes.com.
Thanks for the discussion,

The manual is your friend: Chapter 23. Using PHP from the command line. Add code to prevent PHP from timing-out (see another current thread) and that takes care of your program. It will now run, outside the browser, in the background, and you/your user can carry on using the browser... As far as "trigger" goes, you can type the command into the command line, or run some sort of 'job', or set it up to run off a scheduler, eg CRON or AT/Scheduled Tasks.

Hi Shaun, > please could someone tell me how i can return a month in text from an int ie > getMonth(12) > returns Decmber. Is this possible? No. If you want to stick with this, write your own function to look up a text array. If the "12" is part of more data coming in from a form or db (for example), then give us the wider picture and a 'built-in' solution may become possible. =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I'm reading my way through Friedl's, "Mastering Regular Expressions",
O'Reilly, 2002. This is discussed in pp187-9, but I haven't had a chance to
'play' with it yet (!) and indeed he comments that it is one of those topics
that you can attempt to refine and refine, but may be equally well off by
sticking with what you have (surround the individual octet values with
parentheses and then perform the semantic checking in PHP - as you discuss).
What he comes up with observes the shorter range of digits for the first two
digit positions of a (possible) three digit octet expression (in decimal),
eg the first digit is either 0, 1, or 2 or not present at all.
So if the first digit is a 1, then the next digits can be anything.
If the first digit is a 0 or a space/non-existent then...
However if the first digit is a 2, then the next digit may not exceed 5
[0-5]. If it is 5 then the last digit is similarly constrained, but if the
second digit is less than 5, the third can be any digit.
NB the 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 issues remain
Thus the main component (handling each octet) is the basic code:
([01]?\d\d?|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.
which in English comes out as something like:
a zero and a one may be present and followed by a digit and possibly another
digit, or
a two will be present, followed by a digit in the range 0 through 4,
followed by another digit, or
a two and a five will be present followed by a digit in the range 0 through
5,
and then a dot/separator.
This turns the whole shebang into:
^([01]?\d\d?|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.([01]?\d\d?|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.([01]?\d\d?|2
[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.([01]?\d\d?|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])$
I'm sorry, but that's going to be diabolic to read after the email has had
at it.
The ^ and $, begin/end are necessary to ensure that there aren't
over-running digits afore or aft of the IP addr.
NB this is NOT tested (by me). I'm not sure if this code (the options in
particular), as it is written, can be pasted straight into PHP's version of
PCRE. YMMV!
If you try it, please send feedback,

Re: [PHP] Regular Expresion Work on IP address
Dev,
Nice work!
Thanks for implementing the book's algorithm/proving it in PHP-PCRE, and I
do like your extension into an internal/external function.
I've not implemented your code (bookmarked for later) but some initial
comments:
- don't forget some of the other 'funnies' in the IP addressing scheme, most
notably 127.0.0.1 = localhost (which is also an 'internal' address) - I'd
need to read/remind myself of others...
- in the $parts[0]>=255 type of construct, remember that the > is
superfluous - or the RegEx is overly specific (hence the discussion point
earlier)
- also the $parts[0] is a string, so "255" will be (marginally) faster
- similarly you could make $ip_state="0"; into a boolean expression (and
function return value) which might enable the function call to read more
smoothly
- regardless, $ip_state is currently sometimes treated as a string and once
as an integer.
- I don't know your IP allocations but in net_check() shouldn't all the if()
logical ops be ANDs?
Any thoughts of extending it to work with IPng addresses (or whatever
they're calling it these days)?
Great stuff, keep it coming! (and when you've finished perhaps you could
submit it to one of the script libraries/improve on what they might already
have?)

Fw: [PHP] Checking for Overlapping Dates
Thomas (and list), The solution, as previously posted, is flawed/incomplete - mea culpa. Excuse: I was interrupted three times from typing the word SELECT until pressing Send, and then rushing to get on to the next call on my time... >WHERE bstart < afinish > OR bfinish > astart; Check back with the diagram and you will see that a bstart clause needs to also check that bstart >= astart to trigger rejection - if the leave starts AND finishes before the 'replacement's' leave, then all is well - similarly for second clause. Now, if you prefer to inform a positive response, eg "leave may be granted", then when you turn things around, pay special attention to the relationship and changing ORs and ANDs. Better if we change the whole logic around and say "when can we grant annual leave?" because then the answer becomes: if bfinish < astart or fstart > afinish. This has the additional advantage of 'scaling', if the employee has more than one potential 'replacement'! In all approaches beware the special case: that the 'replacement' has no outstanding request for leave!

=this can only work if:
a) there is an SMTP server on the localhost (and the DNS finds it), or
b) the code wrapped around mail() specifies a valid and reachable SMTP
server, or
c) the code sidesteps the PHP mail facility completely by doing something
else, or
d) its not a Win box (and needs a completely different approach)
=if it was working, it was working; I'm not sure what has been
updated/replaced since - but let's not even go down that track.
=I assume that the Win98 machine has outbound email working from some MTA,
eg Outlook [Express]. Check its definition for an SMTP server. Cut-and-paste
from there into PHP.INI.
=also (because I'm a simple boy), forget all the optional headers etc, just
use a stripped down/simple email stub-script for testing/proving.
=If PHP's mail() can be persuaded to work, thereafter it (and any scripts)
can be 'tweaked'/made better - or we can look back and compare...

[PHP] Failed to install Mod_cURL under Windows/Apache
PHP v4.2.3 with Apache 1.3.24 under Win2000 Prof SP2 Downloaded the full v4.2.3 zip package/Win binary, some weeks ago. Installation went fine. Extensions are happily included. Have had several weeks of operations. Decided to install cURL to do some URL (strangely enough) link verification-checking. Started at manual: XII. CURL, Client URL Library Functions with sent me to http://curl.haxx.se and in turn http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/php/ Downloaded curl-7.10.2-win32-nossl which (really) only contains CURL.EXE. I cannot see any instructions telling me what to do with this/where to put it!? Moved it to the same location as PHP.EXE. It runs happily from the command line (so that's something!) Moved both the .dlls around, checked the MVC file, and uncommented the PHP.INI line - and verified it with PHPINFO(). However when a PHP script (copied straight off the PHP manual) calls curl_init () it causes Apache to crash: "Apache.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created." - restarting the Apache service and re-running results in the same error - rebooting the whole system and re-running also. - the v-server's error log shows nothing and the access log only shows the PHPINFO() mentioned - there's nothing in the Windows Event log - I can't figure out where this "error log" is created Help!

So the first question is, where is the server? The second question is, what time zone (TZ) has it been set to run within? (NB you can run a server in Sydney, but set its clock so that it 'appears' to be in Perth - if you really want to...) =now let's take a look at the UNIX Epoch. Various 'quotations' have surfaced in this email, and I don't recall that it is well discussed within the PHP manual (it being a UNIX definition after all...). The epoch 'began' 1Jan1970, sure enough (exactly as quoted). HOWEVER it is defined as beginning at Greenwich: 1Jan1970 at midnight UTC in Greenwich... =So a timestamp of 'zero' in London (UTC) would see the east coast of Australia at 39600 local (TZ of +1100 (hours)). =if at that very time I was in London and you in TZ+1100 and we waited one hour, the asked for the current timestamp: I would get 3600 and you 43200. So whereas I can subtract zero from current time and get one hour, you must subtract 39600 from 43200 to get the correct answer - in other words, don't use "zero", but 'Epoch-zero' adjusted for TZ. =as soon as you start to twist your mind around all this, you realise why Dr Who was a bit loopy about the size of telephone boxes, etc! Time travel is not for the faint-hearted (nor the mathematically-challenged/regular lottery ticket purchasers)! =PHP provides a solution in the gm*() series. The best/only solution is to find a common timebase. I've worked with American (and one Japanese) companies who (initially) insisted on time-basing everything to HEAD OFFICE (caps to demonstrate scale of self-importance, eg "this report must be in by 1700 in ..."), and usually they end up tripping themselves up, and thus provide me with the 'proof' of the illustrations/arguments I made at the design stage (that they chose not to listen to...) =The reality is that everyone works off UTC (NB "GMT" whilst widely used/terminology within PHP is not the "internationally PC term") - including the (alert) Americans - the US military refers/referred to UTC/GMT as "Zulu time" (which has more to do with the alphabet than warriors). So if I'm in Germany and I'm phoning you early/late in the day, to avoid holding our conversation in a less socially-acceptable climate I would first compare my time against UTC (+0100) and then compare your time against UTC (+1100), do the math to get a difference of +10 hours, add that to my local time, and thereafter place/delay the call... (try doing this calculation based upon something like Indian Standard Time, and add a Daylight Saving/Summer-Time adjustment into the mix, just for 'fun'!?) =In conclusion, (based upon my, cough, cough, many years of wrestling with this sort of thing) make all stored times UTC (gm*()) - the RDBMS should not 'filter' timestamps - MySQL does not (for example), and then if you want 'local' times you can 'do the math' for either the server's TZ or (if you're really masochistic (?is that the word?)) the browser-client's local time. The 'silver lining' is that you can now easily accommodate temporal input/presentations to/from anyone, anywhere in the world - it is also easy to produce code to calculate the server's local time (for example), so that the same routine works regardless of where the server is located - where next year's new 'mirror' is to be located, anywhere

Re: [PHP] How to test php.info from command line
I agree with Jason, it seems strange to have a command line option (that can only apply to command line operation) and yet the output be in browser/non-command line format... However with PHP-CLI 'coming soon', maybe that sorts things out. Meantime may I suggest combining the two answers: php -i >/tmp/test_php.html (note file type) Thereafter chuck test_php.html into your browser for convenient viewing/to 'get rid' of the tags/static. (when I do this, the graphics don't print out, eg PHP logo at page top - which is a convenient way of differentiating between phpinfo() from the command line and from a web server!)

Re: [PHP] Different output on two different servers
Hi Steve,
Have you solved this already?
If not, when you copied the code between machines was there some effort to
ensure that the 'copy' points to the RDBMS/tbls on the same box/different
box - or does the original box have code that points to tbls on itself, and
the second box have code that runs on 'it' but (still) points to tbls on the
first box (not on itself)?
[make sense?]

I may misunderstand UNIX timestamps then - perhaps I am assuming too much similarity to date()? =Date() is local-TZ aware, so I appear to have assumed that a timestamp is also. What you are saying is that a timestamp is always GMT (regardless of machine/opsys TZ) and only when passed to date() or somesuch is the 'time' value manipulated (as well as its format) to become local. Correct? I thought timestamps were set at the time on the local clock, and thus would be different across TZs - date() is... =as a Windows user I struggle to cope with some of these UNIX concepts, so I hit Google - with no joy, and ripped through the SuSE manuals (I'm a closet Linux user - will become one, just as soon as I can find the necessary spare machine (and time!) - till then, the box of manuals, CD-ROMs etc lives in the closet!)

The first idea is that the system that outputs a .CSV with quotes within a quoted field is broken big-time and that's the part that needs fixing! I'm on the same wavelength as you describe: you can't use any automated csv function on such a file. Quotes <> only appear in pairs. The closing quote must therefore appear immediately prior to a field separator (eg comma) - whitespace not withstanding, unless it is the last field on a line, in which case it will appear immediately prior to a record separator. One possibility is to write a 'filter' script to do this - and thus leave your existing code intact. The filter could take in the file, explode on quotes, and then cycle through the resultant array looking at the first non-whitespace data in every second element, clean/recode where necessary, and then implode and output. Alternatively could join/unset consecutive array elements which have been split inappropriately (by 'internal' quotes), and then implode using the other style of quotes/another separator, if this can be made to work later in the process...

IE allows quite a bit of control over the handling of cookies. Most admins would probably focus on the "Security" tab and the possibilities it offers. However there is also a vicious back-hander under the "Privacy" tab (that you can't see/get no warning about, under normal operation) and with a simple command one can ban cookies from any nominated web site(s) - hence everything works fine for accessing (eg) the NYTimes but blows up in your face (sorry SeaBee humor) when you access the nominated site. Could be done by FOBCAK, user brilliance=ignorance, or deliberate sabotage/cynical Admin baiting! Couldn't access various online purchasing sites from a hardened laptop, so if they didn't say that they required cookies and I called their HelpDesk, much going round-and-round resulted...

Most sensible! The employment of a technological solution to a social problem is somewhat shooting the messenger. However some countries are now legislating responsibility that ISPs/employers must discharge (shooting the person who shoes the horses that the Pony Express messenger is riding!?) In this case perhaps one could analyse the incoming text and place an embargo on its publication on the web site until it has been reviewed by a human editor? If we were talking about filtering incoming email, then perhaps the original message could be forwarded/wrapped with a message from the EmailAdmin/System pointing out that a message has arrived from xyz (etc) and has been flagged for a stated reason (but that there is room for interpretation within the mechanical observation) and that the message should not be opened by anyone fearing offence. (this similar to 'security' gateways that don't allow msgs with attachments unless the 'employee' first authorises a 'pass-through') Euro 0.02's worth? =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] date() on two diff. servers
Mike, No complaints about explanations in PHP manual - I often say that it IS a cut-above the average. However it does NOT explain the underlying concepts of "timestamps", (quite rightly) expecting that we pick up such from other/more appropriate sources. Hence my comments are refering to such sources/attempting to find such sources... Like you, when I re-read that entry in the PHP manual (after your informative reply) I 'saw' the logic and discovered that I had to move the 'location' in my mind-map where I had framed the GMT/TZ adjustment. Fortunately it didn't nullify any design decisions I've made/relied upon. Unfortunately *NIX sources thus far consulted don't seem to feel it necessary to do the same/print anything confirming (and many of them most careless in your "GMT" point) - and hence the discomfort. It is always difficult to learn new things, and if not more so, can be v.awkward trying to adapt from one philosophy to another, eg Windows to *NIX. Getting the terminology straight is one thing, getting the model worked out another. I don't doubt what you say/am happy to be shown to be wrong, but would sure like to 'prove' it. As I say, am probably just barking up the wrong (Christmas) tree(s). No worries - it's familiar territory!

Earlier contributions highlight this admirably. I was at an "Information" show last week where a stand displayed the good work of the EU organisation in the field. I spoke to a Brussels(*) wonk/weenie/suit about such legislation (proposed and awaiting national enactment). I suggested that it would be unfair to 'bring to justice' anyone for apparently offending some employee/user's sensitivities without first defining WHAT would cause offence (eg the requested list of "vulgar words"). Otherwise the first you might know about it is when a court decides (against you) that is unacceptable in polite company. Accordingly I suggested that his department publish such a list (in all of the languages/cultures of the EU???), but observed that he would have a serious problem being able to distribute it without his own office prosecuting itself! As is to be expected, he failed to see the humor (and failed to see the sense/requirement to do so)... The joke is on our Indian friends @upv.pertamina.co.id whose 'filter' simply bounces messages containing "Dirty Words", because as you say there is no human involvement so they can't even benefit from Jon's observations. This policy means that every contact/contract with Sc*nthorp that they lose, is deservedly so, and an unfortunate advertisement not to use that country for out-sourcing if the culture-gap is so great!? Summary attitude: hey I'll code it if you want it/pay me to do so, but what are you going to do when you meet the rest of society as soon as you come off the email system? NB it has 'always' been illegal to use such language in (British, and many others) phone conversations, but who does that stop/what filters are in place there? =dn *for the benefit of more distant members: Brussels is the home of many European Union (EU) offices, and the source of much bureaucratic 'stupidity' such as the legislation mentioned earlier. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Sessions 'funny' and Zone Alarm Pro 3
Hi,
I've started developing a shopping cart and was just testing and found
that I get strange results when Zone Alarm's Cookie Control is set to
anything other than "Off".
If anything, I would expect the shopping cart to forget its contents
between pages but instead I am getting weird results.
(I have many other files/classes being called from this test.php file)
test.php
add_item( $f_id, $f_qty, $f_desc, $f_price, '' );
} elseif ( $f_act == 'remove' ) {
$_SESSION[ 'cart' ] -> remove_item( $f_id );
} elseif ( $f_act == 'update' ) {
$_SESSION[ 'cart' ] -> update_item( $f_id, $f_qty, $f_price, false );
} else {
echo '';
print_r ($_SESSION);
echo '';
}
?>
Product = CD
Qty:
';
print_r ($_SESSION);
echo '';
?>
--
This script obviously calls itself (not sure if that is part of the
problem?)
Scenario (with ZA cookie control set to Medium)
---
Leave the quantity set to 1 and click add, the session then shows that there
is one item in the cart.
Click add again and there are 3 items in the cart.
Click again and there are 5 items.
If I now change the quantity to say 10, there will be 16 items (the 5 that
were
there a minute ago plus the 10 plus what appears to be the value that
quantity
was previously set to i.e. 1.
Thus if I then go and set the quantity to 5, it will take the previous value
(10)
plus the new value (5) and add it to the cart (16), giving 31.
Turning ZA OFF and all works as expected.
Since my cart is a serious of objects/arrays, I changed the following to try
and track
down the problem.
Changed:
session_start();
if ( !isset( $_SESSION[ 'cart' ] ) ) {
$_SESSION[ 'cart' ] = new Cart();
}
?>
To:
---
session_start();
if ( !isset( $_SESSION[ 'cart' ] ) ) {
$_SESSION[ 'cart' ] = new Cart();
$_SESSION[ 'count' ] = 0;
}
$_SESSION[ 'count' ]++;
echo $_SESSION[ 'count' ];
?>
The count variable was also going up in the same fashion as the cart items
which makes me think that the page itself is being called several times
before
being displayed.
I'm tearing my hair out here and I can't leave it as is and the cart has to
go into production and I can't have people buying 31 items when they wanted
3 :)
Anyone any suggestions at all.
Regards,
Neil Stiron

The strange thing is that it is not necessarily twice. Say I buy 2 items and then I buy 5 items, it will take 7 (2+5) and add that onto the first purchase of 2 giving me 9 items (when I should only have 7). As you can imagine, the more you buy the more this problem escalates. > Have you tested this on several machines? No I haven't I'm afraid. > Mike Another thing I have noticed is that the problem only occurs if I use ONE PHP script to do everything (i.e. display and add to the cart) If I split the code accross different scripts I then get nothing added to the cart at all (even though the SID automatically gets inserted inside each form, everytime I sumbit and look at the code the SID changes). I think this is probably to do with the fact that I have used the Rewrite rule in an .htaccess file and the SID (if in the URL) is not getting passed on to the script - not sure about that though. Hmm, still scratching my head although I have the items being correctly added to the cart when no ZA and now I have them not being added at all when Privacy is on. This is after having split the code into multiple files. Don't know why it should make a difference over multiple files though?

Re: [PHP] header() and mozilla - HELP!
Ensure that you have a die; after the Header() line.

[PHP] How do I replace browser history using Header()?
Hi,
I am using Header("Location:http://www.mysite.com/mypage.php";); to do a
browser redirect. This works fine. The problem though is that doing this
adds a page to the browser's window.self.history() collection.
Is there any way that I can do a PHP Header() statement that does the
equivalent of JavaScript's
window.self.location.replace("http://www.mysite.com/mypage.php";)?
In other words I would like to use PHP's Header statement to replace the
current page in the brower's history, not just add another location onto
the collection.
Any help much appreciated.
Neil

No. JavaScript (if turned on) is your only choice.

[PHP] Re: Empty session directory
IVáN DíAz wrote: Hi everyone! I would like to know if I need to empty from time to time the directory where the session files are stored. I'm running windows nt4.0 and Apache. Thanks in advance. Hi Ivan That would probably be a good idea yes. On linux and unix based OS's sessions are usually stored in /tmp which gets periodically cleaned of old junk files. Depending on how your windows machine is set up, you might need to clean the dir every now and again, i dont remember anything that did this in the NT4 OS, but its been a long time since I used it. That said if you have allot of space it could probably go without cleaning for years :) Cheers Neil -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
