[PHP] php exe from cli, but no web
Hi, I won't be redundant by saying I'm new to PHP, so I won't :) The following code works by doing; php file.php contents of file.php; * I config'd this ssh user to not need a password, copied its key. I place this file off of web root and point my browser to web root and type the file name; http://mywebroot/file.php but it doesn't exe. I'm not expecting to see a screen full, but I check to see if the perl script runs on the remote host, and it doesn't. All is well from a CLI. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, - aurfalien -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, PHP runs as a different user in a web server, usually nobody but it depends on how your system has been set up. Given that it should be obvious that the keys you've set up for the user you run it as from the command line will not be used from the web server. Hope that gives you enough info to solve the problem. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] syntax woes
Hi all, I'm unsure how to describe this but I'll try. The following code works fine in its own PHP script; $mkdircmd = '/bin/mkdir /homes/'.$uid; exec($mkdircmd); But when placed in a larger PHP script being part of the ldap_provisioning module in Drupal, the Drupal GUI is blank until I do; $mkdircmd = "'/bin/mkdir /homes/'.$uid"; ... were I surrounded the variable with "", which causes it to not work. I'm totally unsure how to approach this and am hoping syntax adjustments will fix it. - aurf -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I guess you've already solved the permissions problem on the /homes/
folder (normally the web server would not be able to create such a
path because of permission issues).
Blank GUI - no idea. Anything in the error logs (php or apache) ?
Maybe asking on a drupal specific list would be a better idea for
that one.

Hi all, For any one following this thread, here is how I worked around the apache/php/chown limitation. script snippet (and if any one has a more elegant style, please share as I am an amateur script kiddie). $path = "/homes".$username; $chowncmd = "/usr/bin/sudo /bin/chown "; mkdir($path); chmod($path, 0775); exec($chowncmd.$username. " ".$path); I modified /etc/sudoers; #Defaults requiretty - I added the comment. apache ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/chown - added this line. - aurf On Apr 2, 2009, at 6:58 PM, Michael A.

So, what output you actually wants from your program?
Is it like this
asometextbsometextcsometext..
or, like this
asometext
bsometext
csometext
Hi,
Sorry, I was incomplete :)
I would like;
asometext
bsometext
csometext
Basically, I would like to add whatever text to the end of what I find
in the file.
So if the file contains
a
b
c
I would like;
asometext
bsometext
csometext...

Cacti uses DocuWiki by the way and I personally avoid DB usage if possible. I think its easier to corrupt a DB then it is to corrupt a filesystem. However I'm unsure of how scalable a pure file system based Wiki is, I think if you put it on a mirrored disk with a decent cache on the Raid controller, you'll be fine performance and DR wise.

The DoS is either coming from script kiddies dumb enough to do it from their own IP, or its coming from a bot-net comprised of computers who's owners are morons and don't keep their computer secure. Either way, do a WHOIS, reverse DNS query, and traceroute on the IPs. You should be able to find the ISPs of the attacking systems. Email the ISP tech department with your info and let them take care of the offending systems. In my case, on the beginning was 20-30 different IPs. After they are blocked there was much more IPs :-( But, never was thinking that way. What I have to send to ISP? my access log file?

Re: [PHP] string concatenation with fgets
Hi Ash,
Actually I need the if because the code will print out an empty line
and add "sometext" to it.
So without the if check for an empty line, at the end of the loop I'll
get sometext. For example, if the file I am processing called
somename.txt has
a
b
c
in it. I'll have;
asometext
bsometext
csometext
but w/o the if check, I'll also have
sometext
as well.

Remove the if statement and just print out $tmp. The while loop is
going over one extra time than you need, and on that final
iteration, $tmp is an empty string. The if statement only changes
$name if $tmp is empty, so it leaves it as it was, hence you getting
the last line printed twice. Printing out an empty string in this
example won't do anything, and the if statement is also pretty
useless as it just copies the value to another variable on a
condition that will only result in the side-effect you've noticed.
Thanks,
Ash
