[PHP] Can it be doen with Array????
Hi!
I know that it can be done with certain variables that can overwrite
another variable. Like
$test = "123";
$other = "xyz";
$test = $other;
What about the Array? Can this be done?
$array_test[1] = "abc";
$array_test[2] = "jkl";
$array_test[3] = "$%(";
$other_test = $array_test;
echo $other_test[1];
Would the result be "abc" Does it work that way? I need something
that would work with one array to a different array.
Thanks

[PHP] session_start() in php.ini does not work on Microsoft IIS
Hi! It have been a while that I don't remember how did I jogged MS-IIS's memory or something. Perhap a baseball bat will help. I'm not here to ask for help on writing script for session ID or stuffs like that. I'm here asking for help in jogging IIS's memory with a baseball bat. When I use the PHP command, session_start and tested it out on the website. I get an error messages saying as shown on the clipping down below This is the script I use alone. This is the error messages --clip-- Warning: open(/tmp\sess_C4155DDAF13A529594FB7C2541F4D4C7, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in D:\DealPack\... on line 24 Warning: open(/tmp\sess_C4155DDAF13A529594FB7C2541F4D4C7, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0 --clip-- I can see the problem with "/tmp" so I looked through the PHP.INI and modify the script. The line of code here goes from to . --clip-- >From ... session.save_path = /tmp; argument passed to save_handler session.cookie_path = / ; the path the cookie is valid for To session.save_path = \tmp; argument passed to save_handler session.cookie_path = \ ; the path the cookie is valid for --clip-- I even created the folder 'tmp' on the c:\ drive. I stopped the website then I stopped the IIS. I then start the IIS then start the website. When accessing this script on the website, I still get the same error. The problem here is that IIS does not actually refreshed or restarted I even rebooted the machine. I can use your help. Thanks!

[PHP] Re: time stamp screwing up
Instead of the php function, 'time()'. Try 'date()'. Somethine like this
--clip--
--clip--
You can customize the way you want the time format to be displayed. You can
find it at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php and you'll see the
option for dates and times.

Re: [PHP] php.ini - changes aren't taking?
The funny thing is that when IIS is freshly installed on a new O/S. It is very simple to make PHP work. Then 6 months later, IIS lose itself and have harder time working with PHP.INI.

[PHP] Re: php.ini - changes aren't taking?
Yep! I changed the working email address on my php.ini to a different email address, then stopped, started the IIS and test send myself an email. It doesn't go to the new email address and it stuck to the old email address. It is a IIS problem, not php.ini problem because it's not updating itself. Thanks, Scott F.

[PHP] Far out!!!! More IIS problems.....
I tried various methods on IIS after configuring hte PHP.INI. Such as shutting down IIS, restarting IIS and rebooting hte machine. Here's one latest addition that I found to be very far out!! What I did was I renamed the php.ini to php1.ini and goes throught the procedures. Guess what the website still is the same. So, I renamed the php.ini back and make some changes in php.ini. Still the same result. I'm still working on it. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: session_start() in php.ini does not work on Microsoft IIS
Actually, the problem is not the session_start() or hte php.ini. For some reason, IIS had started to forget that this php.ini is there. So, any changes to the php.ini I made does not affect the website after stopping, starting and rebooting IIS.

[PHP] Found a solution to the php.ini problem on IIS.....
Hi Fella! I found the problem and fixed it. I only have one php.ini which is found under 'c:\winnt\'. What happen was that a couple of months ago, someone in my company without my knowledge had made a backup copy of php.ini and put it into hte D:\ drive. So, IIS for some reason didn't go to c:\winnt\ directory and jumped from c: drive to d: drive and use the backup php.ini. I fixed the problem by renaming hte file, from php.ini to php.ini_safe. This then cause the IIS to revert back to the php.ini in c:\winnt. Hope this knowledge will help everyone one day. The weird thing is that when I use phpinfo(). It didnt show any file path. It just said the filepath is 'php.ini', no 'c:\winnt\php.ini' at all. It just said 'php.ini' before I renamed the file. After renaming the file, it still say 'php.ini' as if nothing had changed.

Be care of the PHP bug on one of hte php function, odbc_fetch_row(). This

automatically, so you'll have to at the counter inside the function. Why is
that, I do not know. Here's the example of the workaround I did.

Re: [PHP] session_destroy problem
Session Destroy will work if you provide the user a way to log out of the website. But if the user closed the browser then that's it. Session Destory can't be used because the browser is a client side and Session Destroy is a server side. So, once the browser close, it doesn't contact the server before closing. You're only option is to clean up the session data from the webserver as I usually have done. I also use the database to find out about the session id and the timestamp it was updated. That way, I will know which session not to delete if it is active.

[PHP] Re: session problem
I don't normally have problem with using session functions on the Win2000 Server using IIS 5. It work pretty well. You may will want to narrow down the problem and find out if it is a session problem only or if it is something else. I don't use some of the IIS patches like the IIS Lockdown as an example because some of those patches prevent hte PHP function from working. IIS is so filled with holes that I had to use hte firewall.

Re: [PHP] Encrypt in Javascript and Decrypt in PHP????
I'll look into this and try it out. The only thing that is important to me
is that the password get encrypted before transmitting across the internet.
I'm not worry if the JS is disabled because if it is then the login will
never be authenticated. I'll keep on exploring for way to increase
security. Thanks for the response.

Re: [PHP] session_destroy problem
Yes, the JavaScript code can run before the browser is closed but it would not be finish running because the browser closing had been executed. Someone had tried it before and struggled with it. But that is a good advice, thanks for jumping in. "Tamas Arpad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Re: [PHP] session_destroy problem
You meant the tab browers. Like 2 tabs... I haven't tried it but now that you mentioned it, I'm going to have to look at it soon. I do noticed one thing, the status bar, if it have comments, it will show up on other tabs even though it is a completely a different website. I get the impression that it doesn't seem to be as independent of each other, know what I meant? What I did with the php script is to expire the session first, at the beginning of hte webpage before the login page showed up and before attempting to create a session. Maybe this will help a little bit.

Re: [PHP] Encrypt in Javascript and Decrypt in PHP????
Hey! There's no MD5 in Javascript which is why I post hte question in the
first place. Now I lost 5 hours of my time working on writing this script.
You're going to have to be careful because you had to make sure there is MD5
features in Javascript before posting a reply.
I found a workaround to it. You have to manually create a MD5 algorithm in
Javascript. I did the google search and got this, it is at
http://www-adele.imag.fr/~donsez/cours/exemplescourstechnoweb/js_securehash/
. Pretty cool, isn't it!
Take care,

I got the script working so, I'm posting a script that work for me. If you
wanna try it out or use it then you'll need to get the MD5.js that come with
the libPHP. Just download the libPHP and pull out only one file, MD5.js and
then junk the libPHP.
I found one thing interesting about this code is that whether the login is
successfull or failed. The password will not be shown, neither is the
encrypted password. That is a good thing.
I had to create a Session ID also.
You'll have to forgive me for include some script for PHP 4.0.6 and PHP
4.2.3 since I'm stuck with one of the employee who doesn't have time to
upgrade one of the website.

[PHP] Here's the sample code for encrypting the login password....
Here's the sample script that will let the user login then have Javascript
encrypt the password and carry it over to PHP and have PHP encrypt the
password and match the Javascript encrypted password. This script is pretty
effective without the SSL.

encrypted password. That is a good thing.
I had to create a Session ID also.
You'll have to forgive me for include some script for PHP 4.0.6 and PHP
4.2.3 since I'm stuck with one of the employee who doesn't have time to
upgrade one of the website.

} else {
$login_action = "Failed!!";
}
} else {
//Creation of the Session ID.
$salt = strtoupper(md5(uniqid(rand(;
session_id($salt);
session_start();
//PHP 4.0.x Only ==
session_register('admin_detail');
$admin_detail['random_number'] = rand();
//=
//PHP 4.2.x Only ===
//$_SESSION['random_number'] = rand();
//=
}
?>
function encryptPass(formObj) {
formObj.HiddenField.value =
MD5(MD5(formObj.pass.value)+formObj.RandomString.value);
formObj.pass.value="";
return true;
}
"; ?>

Re: [PHP] session_destroy problem
It's no problem. We're all very interesting in finding out what can work. Maybe I can help with one of this problem.

Sorry, maybe I missed or forgot the original problem. If I remember right the problem is that the session must be deleted if the visitor closes the browser. I think it can be done with the method that "ugly sex" sites use for opening ads when their window is closed. An example: I know it's not a 100% reliable sollution, but in javascript what is that? This way you can make a request that'll destroy the session and sends javascript code that immediately closes the window. It works for me in opera but not in mozilla :(( Maybe there's another sollution, the idea is to somehow send a a request when the onunload event happens (I'm sure you already knew this Scott). I tried to search in google for how to make http request but didn't find anything really useful in a few minutes, of course that doesn't mean that it can't work at all. Good luck with it Larry!

Re: [PHP] session_destroy problem
Me too. I alway try to avoid javascript. I have one workaround to the problem that keep me from having a headache with the browser incompatibilities. Since I already have a table in the database that deal with the session number, timestamp and user id. All I have to do is to detect the duplicate user id and check to see if if user is online for no more than 15 minutes by checking the timestamp. If more than 15 minutes then I deleted the existing session id then delete the duplicate user. When all goes well, then I create a new session id and insert it into the database along with the user id and a timestamp. And I do the manual clean up of the leftover session in the /tmp directory every few weeks. Not what I would like to have but there's nothing I can do about browser incompatibilities and javascript issues. If we're lucky, this would take 20 years or more for the problem to be fixed.

No, the setting called "Open unrequested windows" is turned on in my browser (Mozilla 1.0.1), and all other settings on that page are also turned on, so I don't know why window.open call doesn't work in onunload event handler. By the way it's not a problem for me :)) I don't know if it works for the original poster. I try to always avoid using javascript, I think the session expiration is still a better way to force logging out a visitor who forgot to click on the logout button.

[PHP] Is there a way to substitute HTTP_REFERER for PHPSESSID ???
My company's website rely heavily on $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] and it use Session ID also. Problem is HTTP_REFERER is not reliable because it's data come from the web browser, just like javascript in a way. When I use the Hier Menus or the javascript, 'location.replace', it prevent the HTTP_REFERER from working and it instead show a blank. I have been experimenting with a new sway of checking. Is there a way that Session ID that can completely replace the HTTP_REFERER? HTTP_REFERER have been a lot of help for my company's website because it prevent the direct access attempt without logging in. This is pretty important for the credit bureau.

I did once read the article on the website about using PHP and Flash. As we know, that HTML & Javascript is client side and the PHP is the server side.

[PHP] HTTP_REFERER work without a problem....
Here's what I found so interesting
This code, $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] have worked without a problem when I use
the latest Mozilla build. It even work with the HierMenus,
location.replace('http://whatever.com'), and location.href =
http://whatever.com...
This is a good news for PHP everywhere.

Re: [PHP] HTTP_REFERER work without a problem....
It's not a PHP bug. Many PHP programmer tried to their best to use
HTTP_REFERER so they can keep track of which webpages on the current website
did the user last visited. That way, they can keep out the unauthorized
access to the website without first logging in to the website.
Well, my company's website use both SSL and Session ID. They are good for
starter but they aren't any secure if anyone can make a direct access
without logging in. That's where I use HTTP_REFERER to see what last page
did he or she visited, if the last page being visited is outside of my
company's website then php moved the end user to the login page. It is
pretty effective.
The common problem with the browsers is that they aren't compactible so
HTTP_REFERER don't alway work right and sometime return a blank if those
three are being used. I had been observing it for a few years. Those three
are 1) HierMenus, 2) location.replace('') and 3) location.href=''. When
either one of these are in use, some browsers return with a blank in
HTTP_REFERER.

Re: [PHP] HTTP_REFERER work without a problem....
That wouldn't work if there is already a Session ID, so that's where
HTTP_REFERER come into play.
Try it out by logging to any webpages with Session ID. Then copy the URL
address with the Session ID already there. Paste it into an email and send
it to a different computer. On the new computer, substitute a couple of
alpha-numeric characters with a different one. Like replace any of the 5
characters with a different 5 characters. Finally, copy the URL address
with the alter Session ID and paste it into the URL address of a browser and
press enter. You'll find yourself being able to access the website without
logging in. The $_SESSION data would not exist but it gave the hacker what
they need to break in and hacker aren't pretty dumb, they can figure out to
make it work along the way.
What so ironic is that the SSL can be established anyway.

Re: [PHP] HTTP_REFERER work without a problem....
I agree with you on that. Having something that is reliable is not a bad idea. Anyway, this HTTP_REFERER script have been in use for 4 years and we sometime very little have problem with it. It the HTTP_REFERER doesn't work then all the user will experienced is a direct access attempt and be brought to the login page, it's part of the fail-safe code. I haven't come up with an alternative to HTTP_REFERER that work even better than this.

Re: [PHP] HTTP_REFERER work without a problem....
Or worse, not substituting the characters in the Session ID. Just use the
same Session ID. What if there is leftover session file in the /tmp
directory of the Unix machine and we're dealing with hundred of users each
day. Some of those session files aren't deleted because the user just
closed the browser without logging out. It is unfortunate that there is no
better solution to this.

Re: [PHP] HTTP_REFERER work without a problem....
I understand. To combine the Session Id with HTTP_REFERER sound good but it didn't work too well. I'm still open to idea... :-) Fortunately, not many people know it because it is done behind the scene, so they'll have a lot more to guess about what's working behind the scene.

Re: [PHP] HTTP_REFERER work without a problem....
Here's one way I can do, I checked the session id in the HTTP_REFERER and grab the existing session id in the database table. This is still not an effective method.

[PHP] session_destroy have strange effect....
session_destroy() do work when I logged out of the website. But if I'm logged in and open a 2nd browser and try to log in. This where the script I use to detect exisitng session and destroy it before generating a new one. Problem is that session_destroy does not work on the 2nd browser... So, my question is what is the workaround to using session_destroy() How do I unset it Etc I tried this one but it had no effect if I'm the 2nd user... --- $_SESSION = array(); session_destroy(); --- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] HTTP_REFERER work without a problem....
IP address is not an effective solution. Anyone can use a 2nd browser on
the same machine. Also, if for a company with 1000 machine behind the
firewall, they all get one and the same IP address outside the firewall.

Re: [PHP] Is there a way to undo the md5() encryption??
I had it figured out!! Don't need to decrypt it. Instead, I can encrypt the account number by javascript. Grab the unencrypted account number. Put it into two variable, encrypt the first one with PHP and match it by Javascript. If accept then I use the 2nd variable to grab the data from the data and put it into the sessions. This will take care of the problem with my other project Cheers! Thanks, Scott F.

[PHP] A way to detach the existing session data while making a new one???
Hi! I'm wondering is, is there a way to lose the existing session and existing session data while making a new session id??? I can't use session_destroy() function because it affected IE users, it doesn't affect the non-IE user at all. I got so tired of problems with IE and having it to work properly with the session id, so I decided not to use session_destory(). So, a case situation here is when an IE user closed the browser without logging out. Then later on, fire-up the browser and log in. Problem with this is when I create a new session_id(), it should work but for some reason, a couple of IE users are being affected because the original user did not log out in the first place. So, I decided not to use session_destroy() because of some strange relation between many IEs and the PHP session_id. So, is there a way to detach any existing session data then creating a new session id when logging in???

Re: [PHP] A way to detach the existing session data while making a new one???
Can't do the unset either.. For some reason, the session file aren't doing what it is suppose to do. When one IE browser closed, it lose it's link to this session file in /tmp. If I remove this unused file or something, it affected other session files where other IE browsers had already established hte link to This is what I don't get There's nothinig wrong with the PHP code I use.

Re: [PHP] A way to detach the existing session data while making anew one???
Look like this is something I'll stick to from now on. Just create a new session when a login is being attempt. No destruction or anything of that sort. I have been trouble free for a couple of days now... It seem that destruction of hte session data and files aren't being done correctly. I didn't have that problem before until a newer version of IE come into play. I'm not worried about cleaning up the garbage collection because I wrote a bash script to take care of that at each rebooting since apache would be offline. The overnight rebooting is done twice a week. Cheer!!! "Adam Voigt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... When a session is closed, even though the file in /tmp may still exist, it is simply waiting for garbage collection to clean it up. New sessions in no-way cross link themselves with old ones, I promise you, you can have 1000 concurrent sessions and no one's data will overlap unless bad programming is involved, and even then setting a value to $_SESSION only sets it for the person who view's the particular page that session code is on.

Re: [PHP] Found a PHP bug!!!!!!!!!
I do know that integer, string, double, float, etc are different.. I have been using hte appropriate method like in javascript and c programming, like converting it to integer and so on But when I start using PHP, I find no such document of it and I have been using it for 3 years without a problem. I asked people is there such a thing as converting it by using the function and they told me there is no such a thing and that it is done automatically... Now my time is a little bit wasted. So, I will correct the problem with the php script... I recently looked up on the manual as Jason Wong instructed me to. I havne't found the answer since the document is a little bit mixed up. Okay, I'm going back to my old way as I did in javascript and c programming. So for php, it would be floatval() for float... strval() for string settype() for whatever.. intval() for integer Um, what about double??? Thanks, Scott F.

Yea, it's too bad that not many people know about it. I first asked and they told me it is done automatically. That was 3 years ago. I never had a problem for 3 years until now.

Re: [PHP] Found a PHP bug!!!!!!!!!
Another workaround to this problem is as an addition to Kirk Johnson's
suggestion
--clip--
$month = "08";
if (trim($month) == 8) {
echo "You got it!!!";
}

[PHP] A way to break up the string????
Just curious, is there a PHP function that will break up the string for us? Here's the example --clip-- //Original $name = "Jennifer B Cuff"; //Whatever is to be end result of the original $first_name = "Jennifer"; $middle_name = "B"; $last_name = "Cuff"; --clip-- It is a mind challenging game to seperate the data from the whitespace and break them up. I wrote a lengthy script to do it for me but it's not perfect. I welcome someone with a fresh mind to do that for me. My next nightmare is to break up the address into 1) street number, 2) street name, 3) street tty, 4) city, 5) state, 6) zip while I have to interrupt it the script to put in the "N/A" in street number, street name and street tty if there is something like "PO Box 1600" or "Apt #23"... It is a sucker that the credit bureau, Experian doesn't keep things any simplier. I like Equifax better.

Re: [PHP] A way to break up the string????
Wow!! A lot easier. I think I can do the counting to find out if which go which. For example, "Jennifer B Cuff" as oppose to "Jennifer Cuff". Say, I find 3 words instead of 2 then do something to it. If 2 then do something to it. Etc. I do realize that it is possible for there to be a logic error, like "Cuff" which can't be tell as first name or last name if I don't get the data like "Jennifer Cuff". Thanks!!!

Hi Everyone The webserver is a Unix machine. I don't want to send the email from the Unix machine, I want to do that from Window. So, if I configure hte php.ini to find the MS-Exchange on Window and use it to send the email while the webpage is on the Unix webserver, such as form fill out and click the send button. Have anyone try this and does it work? Anyone struggle with it?? I'm going to go ahead and do it.

Re: [PHP] mail() and php.ini (Any Luck???)
No, nothing is misconfigured on this machine. The problem is the firewall and the nameserver. So, the easy workaround to it is to use the MS-Exchange on Window. Sendmail on Unix still doesn't allow me to use more stuffs, so I had to use MS-Exchange. Sendmail is not the right kind of email service to use, so I can't use it. By the way, Found a nice open-source script at www.phpclasses.org that would allow me to connect to MS-Exchange. Very nice, I'm going to use this. Thanks!!! Thanks, Scott F. "Reuben D.

In the php mail() function, it's the last argument IIRC. There are a lot of classes out there that will allow you to put attachment using the mail() function. Basically you only need the correct MIME-encoding and stuff. Read the manual for mail() again in php.net, or google for php mail attachment. You have to do it the same way to even in Windoze machine.

[PHP] sending e-mail with 'Bcc:' and 'Cc:' not working....
I'm a little puzzled on why does either of these two, 'Bcc' and 'Cc' not work when I had successfully send the e-mail.

[PHP] Using mail() function in php.ini (Unix/Linux)
For those of you who don't know it or are struggling with the problem with the slow sending of hte e-mail behind the firewall. This problem doesn't alway lie with the DNS itself. The workaround to the problem is the hostname resolution or the alias to the hostname. Just open up the /etc/hosts file using either vi or emac and add this ... (Substitute the term in the bracket for something else) --clip-- --clip-- Do not use the dot between the hostname and the domain name.

Re: [PHP] php.ini for UNIX sendmail????
Not that I know of..
Found out the reason Yahoo reject the email I send to Yahoo is because the
'From: ' address isn't [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the proper domain name. What
Yahoo got is root@chevy in the 'From: ' section of the email. This is the
email that is send from the Unix server. So, I tried overriding it with the
'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' option in the mail function. Unfortunately that
doesn't work because root@chevy override that 'From: ' option. The
workaround to the problem in Unix is to use the hostname resolution in the
/etc/hosts file. I'm not having much luck yet. Because I am only able to
get Yahoo to accept my email if it is outside of the abcoa.com in the
/etc/hosts file but return with an unknown error message for any email that
end with abcoa.com.

[PHP] Finally!!! A workaround to mail() in PHP...
Finally a workaround to the problem in mail() in PHP I did the posting somewhere, so I'll cut to the chase by posting it here My recent posting does not work too well --clip-- This is for any Unix or Linux machine using the Sendmail. However, no guarentee that it would work in Windows. Some SMTP won't accept e-mail with the "From: host@domain" without the suffix "com", like "domain.com", so using the "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" option in the $header in the mail() does not solve the problem for me. Someone suggest using the php.ini with the configuration by adding the "-f [EMAIL PROTECTED]" to the sendmail path. Example look like this --clip-- sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] --clip-- This is not an option for me because it is limit to one user, not more than one and it override the "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" option in the $header in mail().. So, Finally there is a workaround to the problem and it is very simple Just add this entrie to the /etc/hosts file in Unix or Linux.

Re: [PHP] Finally!!! A workaround to mail() in PHP...
The reason for this is due to the fact that PHP can override Sendmail but Sendmail can not override the Unix/Linux Operating System. So, once sendmail work without a problem in O/S, including inside the domain on the local network where hte machine reside and outside of the local network then you can safely use the 5th parameter...

[PHP] Please Help.. cgi.force_redirect does not work
Hi! To make the long story short, we use IIS 5.0 with PHP 4.0.6 for a while. Then we builted a new database server, SQL-2000 and point the website to the new server. Then we notice the problem with the CGI error. So, we last week downloaded the PHP 4.3.3 and update the IIS with the newer PHP version and set the cgi.force_redirect to zero in php.ini. See example below --snip-- ; cgi.force_redirect is necessary to provide security running PHP as a CGI under ; most web servers. Left undefined, PHP turns this on by default. You can ; turn it off here AT YOUR OWN RISK ; **You CAN safely turn this off for IIS, in fact, you MUST.** cgi.force_redirect = 0 --snip-- We still have problem with CGI error. The use of php function, header() is what cause the error. Yes, the IIS and the website are reading the php.ini correctly. I checked that out and it is verified. So, what is the workaround to the CGI error?? Thanks, Scott -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] odbc_result...
Hi!
Is there a way to verify that odbc_resut($result,1) is successfull or
not. I'm not talking about
--snip--
$result = odbc_exec($connect,$ask);
if ($result) { echo "Successfull!"; } else { echo "Failed!!"; }
--snip--
--snip--
$result = odbc_exec($connect,$ask);
$db_result = odbc_exec($result,1);
if ($db_result) { echo "Successfull!"; } else { echo "Failed!!"; }
--snip--
because it check on database connection, not whether is the SQL
Statement had been successfully execuated or failed. What I'm looking for
is whether is the SQL Statement, 'INSERT' is successful or fail. Not the
database connection.
Thanks!

Re: [PHP] PHP4 and PHP5 at one machine
Well, it is not possible to run two seperate php4ts.dll file in the same file path with the same file name even though they have different version. One workaround to it would be to compile the older version into a different file name while making sure the script point to that different file name but it got to be tough to do that. Because you'll be modifying the codes and compile it, into windows files and so on.

Re: [PHP] Refresh PHP
PHP session functions and $_SESSION work kind of funny with Internet
Explorer while this problem rarely happen in 3rd party browser due to the
bad design of Internet Explorer... It's a microsoft problem. I have this
similiar problem with Internet Explorer. The workaround to the problem I
have is to eliminate the use of session_destroy(). Someone anyone login, a
new session token will be created anyway. Shockingly, when going from one
webpage to another, Internet Explorer sometime grab a wrong session token.

[PHP] $_SESSION act funny...
Noticed that if I assign data to a $_SESSION array and go to the next webpage then you'll have that new data. If you go to the next webpage by using the same file (webpage) or a $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], the data in the $_SESSION array remain the same, it does not change as it should. But if you do the browser refresh, the data would remain the same which it should be. How do I do a workaround to the problem.
