[PHP] Error with Absolute URLs
Hi, I keep getting errors on my websites, that contain absolute URLs, e.g. http://www.url.com/blah.html. With most, being in the folder of my website, it's fine, i can just add $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], but there's a script I use to display the network statistics of an IRC network, which is located on a different server, so i can't use the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], I'm wondering if anyone has an answer to this. I'm almost to the stage of just asking the script owner if I can have it located locally, so i can use the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] variable. It was working fine until the server admin updated to PHP 4.3.4, but he is not the best with PHP/HTML programming, so he can't help much. Hope someone can help.

[PHP] running python in php timeout
Hi, I'm executing a python script from php that runs quite a long time (15+ minutes) and ends up timing out. Is there a way I can execute the python code and move on executing the remaining php code on the page?

[PHP] Eregi error
Hey all,
I have been having some trouble with the "eregi" function. I have the
following piece of code in my application:
function standard_input($input, $min=0, $max=50){
if (strlen($input) <= $max and strlen($input) >= $min ) {
$pattern = '^[a-z0-9\!\_ \.- ,/]*$';
if(!eregi($pattern, $input)){
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}else{
return false;
}
}
And i am running PHP version 5.2.1
I receive the following error:
*Warning*: eregi() [function.eregi
]:
REG_ERANGE in *[File Location]* on line *287
*Any ideas what might cause this? Googling REG_ERANGE only showed more
questions.

[PHP] header error without whitespace issue
Error =
WARNING: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output
started at /home/zoneof5/public_html/index-dev.html:10) in line 1528 of file

Which comes from me trying to take a login script and put it into an
existing .html file with .htaccess configured to parse php scripts.
Research yields that the header needs to be loaded before anything.
The header is being called by another file “common.inc.php”
How do I safely extract this call from the existing script and place the
call at the beginning of the .html or just simply fix the error?

RE: [PHP] re-post (unanswered) Tables, flash and text
Sure thing,
The site is http://www.gaymillionaire.net
You can see that I have a bunch of text underneath the flash animation in
the middle.
I am trying to fill the dead space to the right of it.
In the code, I can see where to widen the table.
One would think that php would fill the dead space if the is nothing
blocking it.
But it is not.
Here is the snippet I think is controlling it.
Just seeking an answer or got reading material to understand it.

Brad, it's been barely six hours since you first posted that question.
1) be patient.
2) it's a lot of code to ask someone else to look at for you. I would
start by narrowing down the problem/code a bit, then perhaps ask the
question again.

RE: [PHP] Cannot send a hyperlink
Explanation of code $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; (generated by dreamweaver that pulls in the database functions) $message = 'link '; (my nemesis, I can not figure out this puppy. If it works at all, php will generate it at text and not html. Taken from example I find on the web.) $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' .

Brad I'm sorry.
Instead of insulting you and telling you to go read a book I simply
explained an option.
Yes you do not need quotes in the mail() function.
As for the declared variables I was trying to show you an example.
You will find many explanations for how or what is best practice.
Remember that some people like to toot a horn that can be reputed in many
ways. These are the same people who again and again are not the ones who
answer the questions, yet try to take credit by belittling the answer with

The answer was intended to take you in a better direction when constructing
a email application in php.

Well, anyone doing this:
> mail("$E_MAIL", "$mailsubject", "$mailmsg", "$headers");
makes ME very unhappy. I don't get it, what's so hard to understand
about NOT HAVING TO USE ANY QUOTES HERE ? Are you defining any type of
string-like values here? no. Then you don't need quotes, right? no, you
don't. SO DON'T USE THEM HERE THEN.
You're defining a $to and an $E_MAIL, you're not using $to anywhere, and
only using $E_MAIL in one place (out of two), thus creating a mismatch
between your headers and the To parameter for mail (which is used in
SMTP traffic). [iz bad (tm)]

[PHP] two small issues with php mail
Implementing Bcc and smtp. #1 email is only being sent to a few recipients. I need to implement $smtp = ‘localhost’; Somewhere, but I keep getting parse errors? #2 trying to do a Bcc but that gives me parse errors as well It should be as easy as? $Bcc [EMAIL PROTECTED]; $eol = "\r\n"; Here is the working code, but if I implement the above needed inserts anywhere, I get a big ‘ol fat parse error Any assistance would be truly appreciated. An explanation of why would really help since this is for a school project.

Since it is not in the assignment, find out how to do things within the
parameters of your assignment.

Googling "PHP: mail bcc" (sans quotes) has 5 viable workings on how to do
it. If it fails, then you need to be examing the php.ini file for
information or talking with the server admins as to what piece is wrong.
Also, if you are error checking your own stuff, then the error log should be
able to tell you what has failed out.
I'm glad your professor is teaching you how to learn, but shouldn't this be
something you should be able to do already?
And wasn't this whole thing started with you looking for something that you
were "already too much money into" to change for the next roll-out? So now
you are fessing up to trying to get the PHP board to do your assignments for
you?
I sure hope your instructor is on this board too...

The php manual page goes from baby basics to crazy smtp authentication processes with a snippet of my issue "which when extracted" does not work.

I didn't say TO edit the php.ini file, but it will tell you what the setup
of said server is, including compiled in pieces and smtp settings.
Are you aware of .htaccess files? google override php.ini using .htaccess
and you should get some good hits there. But then that is probably outside
the scope of your assignment. However some professors see that as
insightful, YMMV.

There is no bcc: header. BCC'ing someone is normally done by sending them
the email without listing them explicitly in to: or cc:.

Just because you can't use php-mailer in your project doesn't mean you can't use it as a reference. Grab phpmailer and look at the process it follows to do smtp sending. smtp authentication is a pain at the best of times but trying to do it the way you are now will just drive you mad (been there, done that). Looking at a working code sample will make things a lot clearer in your head rather than random code from 100 different locations. http://www.cosmonroe.org/~devin/postfix/smtp-auth.txt under "SMTP Authentication" will give you an idea of what you need to do but there is a ton more error checking and validation you need to do along the way. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ No virus found in this incoming message.

RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail
Sir, you are very kind, but your implementation of "array" has me as the
"monkey with a light bulb"
I know BASIC (the language) at a minimal.
Basic functionality I know;
Your implementation of core knowledge programming to php quarks is blowing
my mind when looking at my existing problem.
#1
You build your array with;
= array(
'Function 1',
'function 2',
//...
);
?
//...
);
??
Skip the ... and end with "):"
Php has enough goof ball stuff, with it's mail function.
Your suggestion is kind but you are shooting over my head...
$headers = implode("\r\n", $headers);
Implode
Hmmm = build array here but, the usage of "\r\n" is already confusing me.
The manual says to use it for Bcc
Parse error says otherwise when not in you array.
Why?
Else "blame casey"
Never, you are trying to help!

Perhaps you should try and do some error checking on the mysql_select_db() function, like printing out mysql_error().

[PHP] Post Variables
Hello,
I am trying to make a script that looks something like:
for ($i=0; $i<=12; $i++)
{
echo "";
echo "";
}
Then I am posting those to another page, and trying to get the data out
for ($i=0; $i<=12; $i++)
{
echo $_POST['$i'];
}
And it doesn't work. Any thoughts on if something like this is doable?
obviously in raw HTML it looks like:
??
because I can do: echo $_POST['1']
and get the correct value, but I would like it to get the value of $i?
Thoughts?
Thanks
-Brad

Re: [PHP] MySQL error
Well, are you getting a valied response from the database?
Perhaps it would be nice to add some error handling into your code...
i.e.:
$mysql_result = mysql_query($query, $mysql_link)
or die("Invalid query: $query");
or echo out mysql_error();

Re: [PHP] PHP/MySQL Interaction
Wouldn't this involved a sub-query? i.e. select * from images where ( select * from categories where cat_id = 3 AND cat_id != 5) Now, the question is, do the more recent versions of mysql support subqueries?

Re: [PHP] SSL, PHP, & MySQL
I would say it really all depends on your network configuration. I am assuming that your Web server running PHP is running on one machine (SERVER A)and the MYSQL server running on another (SERVER B)outside of a common firewall? Is this accurate? If this is true, then I would presume that PHP on SERVER A could encrypt a datafile with MYSQL instructions and send it securely to SERVER B, but then who would un-encrypt it and feed it to MYSQL? You might want to look into other alternative like tunneling with SSH or 'stunnel'. I remember hearing some about it, but have not real experience with it. do a search on some MYSQL mailing lists for some insight. Or ask on the PHP-DB mailing list and you may be able to target a better qualified audience. -Brad Joshua Minnie wrote: > What about utilizing an encrypted text file then.

Re: [PHP] key pairs
What about a master table like: Order ID | Ship_TO | BILL_TO Then an address table: ID | NAME | ADDR | CITY | STATE | ZIP Then you could have many addresses, and IFFthe Bill to and Ship to were the same then the master table would reflect that. Many sites provide a check box to indicate that the Bill to and Ship to are the same, which you would key off of and if so, assign the same Unique Address ID to both fields in the master table.

Is > checking for a username session variable on each following page enough ? I would recommend not using the client's IP address for any kind of authentication. It is well known that some large ISPs (AOL) use proxies so one client could have two different IP addresses in two subsequent requests. Sessions are not a bad idea. The default file storage works well unless you want them in a database for some reason (possibly a server farm with load balancing and you don't want sticky sessions). If you are worried about sending passwords as plain text you could either use SSL or JavaScript to create a hash of the password instead. This has been discussed recently. Client authentication is the real risk here. Using the built in session management will set either a cookie or URL variable that is used to lookup session information. I would recommend using this method and combining it with another check of some sort. That way if cookies are stolen or a URL is e-mailed or bookmarked with a PHPSESSID in it, you still have a chance of avoiding a client interfering with another client's session. One possible way of doing this would be to create a sort of fingerprint (like an md5 hash) of the client based on the HTTP headers that the client sends. Then store the fingerprint in a session variable and check it on each request. User-Agent and Accept-Language might be good choices.

RE: [PHP] Zend Encoder
Hi, Allow me to clear the air: 1. Zend does not have a way to decode a php file that was encoded using Zend Encoder. (For those of you paying attention to details, note the word "decode", not "decrypt". Zend Encoder does not encrypt. US gov't lawyers, please take note :) 2. Even the inherent knowledge that Zend has about our own product would not enable us to access encoded software. At most, we theoretically could develop code that could access some of the string elements in a script, but definitely not any actual code. (As a comparison, it would be like looking at a .EXE file in Windows, but even more convoluted.) Needless to say, even this minor capability has never and will never be developed or utilized by Zend. 3. Zend Encoder is the most secure way to deliver php code. That said, no protection scheme is absolutely 100% protected.

Re: [PHP] Crypting Passwords for storage.
What about using the md5() function, and store them that way. Then when one is sent to the server encrypt it and so a string compare on the two encrypted text strings. Like strings encrypted with md5 will result in the same encrypted string. Of course there is no way to decrypt them. This is all done on server side though, so perhaps you should utilize SSL to send them over the internet. HTH -Brad "Philip J.

[PHP] php/mySQL time comparison
Hi all,
I have been tearing my hair out for weeks with this problem, hope someone
can help.
I want to pull all data out of a mysql table that falls between two dates (a
start-time and end-time).
I use PHP to allow the user to specify the time interval, creating 2
variables
'startTime' and 'endTime'. These are formatted thus: 2002-02-25 00:00:00
(-MM-DD HH:mm:ss).
I then use the syntax:
$query = "select * from Job_TB where teamNo = $teamNo AND startTime >=
$timeFrom AND endTime <= $timeTo";
$result = mysql_query($query,$db) or die ("somethings wrong");
to query the mysql DB. But it doesnt work. Is there a glaring error in my
syntax?
Can anyone help with this as its driving me nuts
Hope someone can help, thanks in advance,
brad

I am assuming that "letter_new.php" outputs the contents of the PDF you
are generating. You could use output buffering to grab the PDF and then
go on with your script:
if ($prtpdf) {
ob_start();

So, I am trying to do two things. 1. javascript form validation to prevent the double quotes and slashes 2. a sql_scrubber function to handle the apostrophes I am not strong in JS. I have found examples on the net for the form validation but my problem is that I want to use the same function on each text box for the testing of slashes and double quotes. Does anyone have or know of a location out there? Is their a better solution for what I am trying to do? Thanks in advance.

Re: [PHP] explode and escape character for string separator
Reuben D. Budiardja wrote: I did strive for that. But whatever character I choose, the problem remains that we can't guarantee that it's going ot be only used as deliminater, since the deliminated string is an input from user. So the problem remains. Are you adding the delimiter? If so, maybe you could escape that character in the users input when you add it. - Brad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Of course there are other ideas like polymorphism and inheritance and such. Just google for Object oriented programming, and read some of the numerous exposes on the subject to get a general idea. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=object+oriented+programming -Brad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Changing numbers

So, they will output: 12.40 666.75 23.00 269.20 3.234 What's so hard about this? He wants two or more *significant* positions preserved. Show to at least two decimal places, trailing zeroes truncated beyond the 2nd decimal place. I am not sure what he is after, but I don't think it has to do with significant figures (if that is what you meant). If that was the case, 12.400 should remain 12.400. Trailing zeros to the right of a decimal are significant. - Brad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
