[PHP] backslashes

[Ryan Schefke]

Hi, I have a jump box that sends the following value to the page.

 

Show 

Thank You Notes "Not Sent"

 

Then, the below query is run:

 

$query = "SELECT name, event, description, cash, action, thankyou 

FROM gifts WHERE customerID='$passid' $sort";

 

My problem is with the \'Not Sent\'.  I need the backslashes for the php
statement but the sql query can't handle it and the jump box gives me an
error.

 

Any help?

[PHP] ranking product based on votes in a given week

[Ryan Schefke]

I am trying to echo the ranking of votes (highest to lowest) that a product
received in a given week. See example of desired output.

 

In the  query below, It's working great and outputs ID, votes, and week;
however, I can't figure out how to get the ranking for a given week. In the
example below, how would I be able to output values in the Ranking column
for week 8 so that ID 1 is ranked 1, ID 3 is ranked 2, etc. Help?

 

Example ranking:

ID VotesRankingWeek

1  29 1  8

3  23 2  8

7  2  3  8

1  2  1  10



 

 QUERY --

$query = "SELECT WEEK(date) as week, count(*) as hits, listingID as lidcount
FROM 

invotestotal GROUP BY week, lidcount ORDER BY week DESC, hits DESC"; 

$result  = @mysql_query($query);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {

$printweek = $row[0];

$countinvotes = $row[1];

$lidnumber = $row[2];

 

Then, echo values in table rows...

 

}

 QUERY --

 

 

 DEFINITIONS IN QUERY --

WEEK(date) as week :: week vote took place

count(*) as hits :: counts total votes

listingID as lidcount :: ID of the product that received the vote

 DEFINITIONS IN QUERY --

 

 

 

Best regards,

Ryan

[PHP] setcookie statements are giving me error

[Ryan Schefke]

 

I'm trying to set multiple cookies and getting the error below. I removed
all of the white spaces and extra lines before and after my ,
so, that shouldn't be an issue. I get the error for each cookie and it
echoes back as "...cookie not set" like I coded. 

This is the code chunk I'm trying to run, which is called using "require
("setcookie.php");" from my main script. There aren't any extra spaces in my
main script because I can replace the require line with "header ('Location:
http://www.anything.com');" and it will redirect successfully without any
cannot modify header errors, which tells me there's nothing wrong with my
main script. Am I doing something wrong with cookies here? 

"Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by."

 

 setcookie ("acctActive_ck", "$daysRemaining"); //set cookie for active
account, will terminate when browser window closes
 if (setcookie("acctActive_ck")) { echo "active cookie set"; } else { echo
"active cookie not set";}
 setcookie ("login_ck", "$lo"); //set cookie for active account, will
terminate when browser window closes
 if (setcookie("login_ck")) { echo "login cookie set"; } else { echo "login
cookie not set";}
 setcookie ("password_ck", "$pw"); //set cookie for password, will terminate
when browser window closes
 if (setcookie("password_ck")) { echo "pw cookie set"; } else { echo "pw
cookie not set";}

 

 

Thanks a million,

Ryan

RE: [PHP] setcookie statements are giving me error

[Ryan Schefke]

Curt,

Thanks.  That was the issue.  Am I allowed to redirect directly below the
setcookie functions using "header ('Location"

Thanks,

You're missing the most important part of the message, like at
exactly what line the output started.
 
> 
>  setcookie ("acctActive_ck", "$daysRemaining"); //set cookie for active

>  if (setcookie("acctActive_ck")) { echo "active cookie set"; } else { echo

No other cookie can be set after this line. Headers are sent once
you echo something.

[PHP] Explanation of cookie behavior

[Ryan Schefke]

Gurus,

 

I'm running a login script where the user enters login/password and if it
matches what I have in my db and their account is active, I set a login
cookie (login_ck) and an authentication cookie (authenticate_ck).  If the
login and authentication cookies are set when the user goes back to the
login page I prompt with "welcome back.".  Now, I refresh the login page a
few times, sometimes it gives the welcome back prompt.  Then after anywhere
from 2-5 refreshes, it deletes the login cookie but the authenticate cookie
persists.  Any ideas why this is happening?

 

I'm setting my cookies like this:

setcookie ("authenticate_ck", "$daysRemaining"); //set cookie for active
account, for 30days

setcookie ("login_ck", "$lo", time()+ "60*60*24*30", "", "", "0"); //set
cookie for login, for 30days

 

Thanks,

Ryan

[PHP] RE: Explanation of cookie behavior

[Ryan Schefke]

.one more note:

 

If the user checks the "remember me" box then that's how I set the two
cookes; however, if they don't click the "remember me" box then I set the
cookies like this:

 

setcookie ("authenticate_ck", "$daysRemaining"); //set cookie for active
account, will terminate when browser window closes

setcookie ("login_ck", "$lo"); //set cookie for active account, will
terminate when browser window closes

 

.and I can refresh the login page 1,000 times and it doesn't delete the
login cookie or the authenticate cookie.  Notice that when the "remember me"
box is checked I set the login cookie for 30 days whereas if it's not it
expires when the user closes their browser.

Expire is supposed to be an integer.  Try...

setcookie ("login_ck", "$lo", time()+ 2592000, "", "", 0);

Hi Warren,

Thanks for the reply; however, that wasn't the answer I was searching for.

Anyone know?

If you don't mind doing them by hand, Window Paint can, use
Image->Stretch/Skew and Stretch by the same percentage for horizontal and
vertical dimensions to keep the same perspective (less than 100% will reduce
the picture and more than 100% will stretch, but clarity of the image will
suffer from enlarging the image).  I would also suggest save a .bmp in the
original size for future resizing and adjusting, and save as jpg for
transferring to your website (your visitors will appreciate the smaller jpg
format).

[PHP] Strange music playing behavior

I'm getting some strange behavior trying to play music. The script below

[PHP] Looking For Easy To Use Shopping Cart

Can anyone recommend a good open source shopping cart solution? I built an

RE: [PHP] Re: Looking For Easy To Use Shopping Cart

them directly to a form to input billing address and credit card
information.

Any recommendations/guidance?

I'm calling around and speaking to payment gateways and merchant account
providers but wanted to tap into the open source community to see what's out
there that can fit my needs.

I really don't think this is that complex of a task, or maybe it is?

Well...

Do you mean that you've created a storefront already and need a cart, or 
do you need the whole thing? There really isn't any only cart software, 
they all include a storefront.

 From what I've seen, Zen Cart is pretty well featured and is open 
source and free.

[PHP] Please Don't Shoot...

[Ryan Schefke]

Me for asking this question, I'm just not sure where to start but with the

I'm moving my PHP and MySQL application to a hosting server.  Currently, I'm
looking at 1and1.com's dedicated servers on a Linux machine for $49/month
(let me know if there are better choices).  One problem though, the
dedicated server, unlike a shared server, does not have a SSL certificate.  

 

So, I need one.  Can anyone recommend a low cost (preferably free), and easy
to install (since I have to do it myself) SSL Cert?

 

Thanks,

[PHP] grabbing string from URL if URL is masked/forwarded

[Ryan Schefke]

I've tried this code and it works wonders.  

 

$string = "/tgwedding/users/client1/sites/testgrabid.php";
$thisarray = explode("/", $string);
foreach($thisarray as $item) {
  if(ereg('client', $item)) {
 $found = $item;
 $num = ereg_replace('client', '', $found);
  }
}

echo $num;

 

/// the above script will echo "1" from the string
(plan to substitute that string with $PHP_SELF

 

 

But I'm wondering if it will work when I setup a domain name with a
registrar and have that domain name MASKED and FORWARDED to a URL directory
that contains "/tgwedding/users/client1/sites/testgrabid.php".

 

Will this still work or will it not detect the "client1" in the string
because the URL is masked/forwarded.

 

I guess the question is with $PHP_SELF toowhen you echo $PHP_SELF in a
script that is run from a masked domain name will it echo the real directory
URL or the masked one.

 

Thanks,

Ryan

[PHP] cookies malfunctioning moving from windows to linux

[Ryan Schefke]

Hi, I developed a Poll system that uses cookies. It works fine under Windows
(Apache and MySQL), but it does not work properly under Linux. - I
transitioned my site from my windows based server to a linux machine.

Cookies does not work properly when I use the system under Linux (Apache and
MySQL).

I already checked php.ini and can't seem to find what is wrong.  The only
difference is the "session.save_path = /tmp" on the Linux box and on the
windows box it was "session.save_path = c:/windows/temp" 

Could you help me ?

Thank you!
Ryan

RE: [PHP] cookies malfunctioning moving from windows to linux

I don't think that is it.  I believe session.save_path is only for sessions,
not cookies.  I'm only using cookies in the application.

RE: [PHP] cookies malfunctioning moving from windows to linux

[Ryan Schefke]

Thomas/All,

To summarize, my code containing cookies running on windows with a working
php installation (and Apache) executed all scripts containing cookies
perfectly. However, I transitioned my code to a Linux box with a fresh
install of PHP and now my cookies aren't working.  Below is an example of
setting and writing cookie values from one script.  Again, everything worked
like a charm on my old machine.  That's why I think it has something to do
with the Apache or PHP installation settings.

Note - on the new PHP installation I've had to change the "register_global"

Yeah, tell HOW you set the cookies.
There is really no difference in linux/windows-php in this cases.

Hi!

On the server register_globals = off.
Use $_COOKIE['ID'] instead of $ID.

[PHP] Windows to Linux -- Issues with mkdir()function and picture uploading

[Ryan Schefke]

Hi All,

 

I recently migrated code from my home server (windows) to a dedicated
hosting server (Linux).  I seem to have some issues with permissions and I'm
not sure how to fix it.

 

Take the simple script I wrote below.

=



 

It produces the following error:

Warning: mkdir() failed (Permission denied) in
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/php4.php on line 3

=

 

 

The above behavior is on the Linux machine.  Now, I run the same script on
my windows box and it works perfectly.

 

In another script I upload .jpg files to a directory.  It was working
perfectly on the windows home server and on the Linux box I get an access
denied error like this:

Warning: Unable to create
'/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/users/client1/album/175
_7538.jpg': Permission denied in
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/photos.php on line 226

 

Could someone please?

windows has (afaik in its default settings) no good file-permissions.

the php-scripts usually run as the user the webserver runs as ...
so the webserver-user has to have write-permissions on the directory it 
needs to write to.
so either chown (change the owner) or chmod (change the permissions to 
be writable for the group or even other if needed) the directory.

[PHP] Windows to Linux -- Getting errors still...

[Ryan Schefke]

Hello,

 

I successfully tested the GD library and several scripts with PHP locally on

my windows machine. I went to test the same php-files on my internet server
(Linux).
But on the server I get the following error: 

 

Warning: imagejpeg: unable to open 'temp.jpg' for writing in
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/photos.php on line 29

I already changed the file permissions but it didn't still work.

Does anybody know how to solve the problem?

 

This is line 29:

imagejpeg($base_image, 'temp.jpg'); //convert and save it to temp.jpg

 

Thanks,

Ryan

[PHP] GD Library Upgrade

[Ryan Schefke]

I'm working with a host on a Linux box with PHP 4.2.2.  The version of GD
Library they have is 1.8.4.  I was uploading some pictures using a script
that leveraged GD Library 2+.  Using the php version with the newer GD
library seemed to produce a better quality image.  I have two questions:

 

1 - Can a newer version of GD Library (1.8.4 vs 2+) make a difference in
image quality?

2 - I'd like to upgrade the Linux box that has PHP 4.2.2 and GD Library
1.8.4 to the most recent version.  Is this easy?  Any guidance?  Do I need a
patch?

 

PS - I've been working off of this site: http://www.boutell.com/gd but
wanted to bounce this around with some experts first.

So there's no way to upgrade PHP 4.2.2's GD Library without upgrading to the
latest version of PHP?

Possibly. You would have to read the changelog of GD to see.

You would normally have to recompile PHP to get it use a newer version of
GD. 
If your host allowed you to do so then you might as well upgrade your
version 
of PHP and use the bundled GD libs.

Jason,

I have root access to my server.  It's a dedicated server with 1and1.com.  I
have zero experience with shell commands and will be working off of any
directions I can find online.  

I'm researching whether to upgrade PHP from 4.2.2 to 4.3.6 or just upgrade
the GD Library from 1.8.4 to the latest.  But I'm still not sure if it's
best to upgrade the entire thing or just the library.

I'm totally new at installing apps via shell...if anyone is interested in
doing it for a small fee please let me know!

That was not what was said nor implied in my reply. Basically upgrading the
GD 
lib used by PHP needs root privileges. If I understand you correctly, you're

on a shared host, thus _you_ are not able to upgrade anything.

If you do manage to persuade your hosting company to do an upgrade then they

may as well upgrade PHP and use the bundled GD lib which apparently works 
better with PHP than the standard GD lib as opposed to just upgrading the GD

lib.

[PHP] Willing to Pay For Upgrade Help

[Ryan Schefke]

Is any Linux techie out there willing to accept a small payment to upgrade
my Linux dedicated root server from PHP 4.2.2 to PHP 4.3.3 (or 4.3.6,
whichever is recommended)?  I need to leverage the latest version of GD
Library for better quality picture uploads.  I'm a windows guy and don't
have much experience with shell commands and Linux machines.

 

Thanks,

[PHP] Fatal Error Help

[Ryan Schefke]

Can someone verify that the solution to this problem is to change my php.ini
file's "memory_limit = 8M;" line to "memory_limit = 16M;"?

 

My script was working fine (file uploading) before.  Then, last night I
upgraded to php 4.3.6 and installed Turck mmcache.  Now I get the following
error:

 

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 6400 bytes) in
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/sitesetup.php on line 31

 

Line 31:

$imageToResize = imagecreatefromjpeg("$img_source"); // get the image
pointer to the original image

 

 

RE: [PHP] Fatal Error Help

[Ryan Schefke]

I will try it but I wanted to make sure that was the best way to solve the
issue.  Why would the same script work before (with memory_limit = 8MB) and
now it has that error?  That's where I'm confused.

What about verifying it yourself?

Yes, that should help. If not, try higher values. Don't forget to 
restart the webserver.

Answering my own question here, maybe this will help others out:

I found a nifty function below that will return seconds from Unix epoch to a

function time().  Let me know if anyone has a better solution.

[PHP] Resolving a warning

[Ryan Schefke]

Hi All,

 

I've built my own shopping cart and use a library supplied by USAePay.  The
library is accessed via an include statement in my code.  Because of theirs
a desire to keep this library outside of my public web file directory
USAePay recommended using:

 

include "/usr/local/lib/php/usaepay.php";

 

I put the file "usaepay.php" in that directory (using a dedicated linux box
with root access) and run my script with the above include.  I get the
following: 

 

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(/usr/local/lib/php/usaepay.php) is not within the allowed path(s):
(/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs:/tmp) in
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/payment7.php on line 11

 

How can I resolve this?

 

Thanks,

Ryan

[PHP] http to https

[Ryan Schefke]

I'm getting some strange behavior when trying to go from http to an https
script. 

 

After clicking a form submit button the script will execute the two lines
below.  It does this and sends it to the correct page without the https,
only http.  What is strange is when I go back on my browswer and resubmit,
it correctly sends it to the https location and all is well.

 

$redirect = "https://www.tgwedding.com/payment6.php";;

header ("Location: $redirect");

 

 

What am I doing wrong?

RE: [PHP] http to https

[Ryan Schefke]

Quick follow up...

Has anyone had any issues with redirecting from an http script to https?
Every time I try to to a redirect to https it hangs. For example, I write a
simple script like this, nothing...

https://www.tgwedding.com/payment6.php');
?>

...but if I type that link in a browser http is working fine.

Well, I'm no php-guru, that's for sure, but if you are trying to call:

https://www.tgwedding.com/payment6.php from
http://www.tgwedding.com/payment6.php

might be where the problem lies. You might need to do a 'refresh' since
"What 
is strange is when I go back on my browser and resubmit, it correctly sends 
it to the https location and all is well."

What I have done a s a clutz-hack is to create an additional page for the 
re-direct, which then sends it back to the page in question. (I used that
for 
'cookie' detection/browser ident as well on my opening pages.) I suppose you

might get away with a Meta Refresh but I'm not too clear whetehr you can 
accomplish that for the same page . . 

Aside from that idea . . . .

[PHP] Crontab PHP Script

[Ryan Schefke]

Hi,

 

Can someone please give me some guidance.  I'd like to run a php script
every minute (in reality every night, but just testing).  I've done some
reading and found that a crontab is the best way to go (I think).  I'm using
Plesk 7 on a Linux box and I have root access.

 

I made a quick php script called crontab.php to email me.

 

==

\r\n";



/* bcc */

//  $headers .= "Bcc:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]";



mail($to, $str_subject, $messagecontent,
$headers);

?>

 

 

Then I setup my crontab command as:
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/crontab.php
 

 

 

I used " * " for every field except M, which I set to " 01 " to run every
minute.

 

 

It's not working...can someone guide me along and let me know what I've done
wrong.

RE: [PHP] Crontab PHP Script

[Ryan Schefke]

Just some closure on my crontab question:

1 - Since my linux box has Plesk 7 (PSA) and it already had php installed on
it I guess php is installed in the "/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php" directory.
Pretty sure atleast since the below crontab command is now executing my
script:
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/php
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/crontab.php

I believe traditionally php is installed in "/usr/local/bin/php" but I could
be wrong...this is what was throwing me off.

2 - Tim, you were right, all stars will make the crontab run every minute on
my linux box

Not sure if this is different in linux, but usually the first parameter is 
the minutes, and if you had 01 in it, that means that it would do it once 
an hour (i.e. 12:01, 1:01, 2:01, etc...

They should all have stars to do it once a minute.

In freeBSD, it would look like this :
*   *   *   *   root/usr/local/bin/php 
home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/crontab.php

[PHP] Double parenthesis crisis

[Ryan Schefke]

In the below code the variable $thecomments might have some quotations in
it.  Like:

 

$thecomments = how you "like me now"

 

I'm trying to display the value of that variable in an input box using the
value=" " as shown below; however, the double quotations are screwing me up.
Can someone please make some suggestions on how I can fix this. I've tries
several combinations.addslashes, value= (no quotations, etc). Thanks.

 

 

  $thecomments = addslashes($row_allitems[6]);

//echo $thecomments;

  // this is the section to list the instructions
comments

  echo

  " 

 Instructions/comments:

 

 



  ";

[PHP] Help Formatting String into URL

[Ryan Schefke]

Hi,

 

Can someone help me write a short code snippet to format a string to add:

 

http://www    -- if the string is "google.com" and doesn't have
http://www   in front of it

 

http:// -- if the string is "www.google.com" and doesn't
have http:// in front of it

 

.if you know of a better way to securely check/format a url like this please
let me know.

 

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Frank,

Thanks, you got me started. I modified your function a bit.  I'm testing for
3 cases now and the appearance of http://, https://, or ftp:// in front of
the string.  Let me know if you advise any changes.

http://$url";;
   } else {
$result = "http://www.$url";;
}
 return $result;
}
?>

Ryan,

You can use the following function:

function FormatUrl($url)
{
  if (eregi("www", $url))
$result = "http://$url";;
  else
$result = "http://www.$url";;
 return $result;
}

You can test it using:

$test1 = FormatUrl("google.com");
$test2 = FormatUrl("www.google.com");
print "test1 = $test1";
print "test2 = $test2";

And this will give you the results:

test1 = http://www.google.com
test2 = http://www.google.com

Good luck!

-Frank
