[PHP] Max File Size
Hi, I'm having a problem uploading files greater than 2mb, but I believe the problem is related to php.ini. UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE in my submit form is set to 1000. Also, I set upload_max_filesize = 1000 in php.ini. After changing php.ini, I stopped and then started httpd. I thought this was enough to be able to upload files greater than the default 2mb. Even though php.ini has been changed, when I check phpinfo.php, I see that upload_max_filesize is still 2mb and my file is not being uploaded. Can anyone tell me what I am missing here.

RE: [PHP] Max File Size
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try ini_set although I'm not yet certain of how to use it. It still seems odd that I can't simply set upload_max_filesize to whatever value I want. I checked again and post_max_size is not in my php.ini, but perhaps I should just add it. Also, I was wrong before - I do have a directive for memory_limit. It is 8M Regardless, this doesn't explain why I can't upload a file that exceeds 2M, except that I don't seem to be able to reset upload_max_filesize to greater than 2M.

[PHP] PHP Configuration - Can't Change Post_Max_Size
This is further to my post yesterday on Max File Size.
I was able to set upload_max_filesize to 790 and I can therefore upload
files up to that size. I would now like to increase that limit, but I am
limited by post_max_size which defaults to 8M. I can't seem to change the
value of post_max_size.
The post_max_size directive is not in my php.ini; however, I tried inserting
it into php.ini and setting it to 1600 and to 16M. I inserted it just
before the directive, gpc_order = "GPC". The change is ignored by
phpinfo(), that is, phpinfo() still shows post_max_size = 8M.
Furthermore, I tried resetting it using ini_set("post_max_size", "16M"), and
ini_set("post_max_size", "1600"), but neither of these had any effect.
Any suggestion for how I might reset post_max_size. I'm using PHP 4.0.6.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: [PHP] Need Redirection Trick...
Hello Everyone,
I have a simple problem that, I think, might require a little trick to be
used. I have a list of products in a database that is organized by
categories and subcategories. Categories can have as many subcategories as
it wants, but some categories don't need to have a subcategory at all.
In the following code "cat" refers to category and "subcat" refers to
subcategory.
cat_data and subcat_data refers to a multi-dimentional array, pulled from
the DB, with values of an id and a name.
example: cat_data[row_number][name_of_category] and
cat_data[row_number][id].
Ok, before I ask the question, here's the code:
[-- snip --]
get_cat_data();
for ($i=0; $i < count($cat_data); $i++) {
echo '' .
$cat_data[$i]["name"] . "\n";
if ($cat_id) {
$subcat_data = $db->get_subcat_data($cat_id);
if ($subcat_data != 0 && ($cat_id == $cat_data[$i]["id"])) {
for ($j=0; $j < count($subcat_data); $j++) {
echo '- ' .
$subcat_data[$j]["name"] . "\n";
}
}
elseif ($subcat_data == 0 && ($cat_id == $cat_data[$i]["id"])) {
$subcat_id = 0;
header("Location: $PHP_SELF?cat_id=$cat_id&subcat_id=$subcat_id");
}
}
}
?>
[-- snip --]
What this does is it lists all the categories in the database, initially.
When the user clicks on a category, the script will check if the category
has any subcategories associated with it. One of two things should happen
after this.
First, it should list all the subcategories directly below the category it
is associated with, with a little indention to specify that they are
subcategories. The subcategories listed will be a link that passes over the
cat_id and subcat_id GET variables to the same page.
example:category 1
category 2
- subcategory 1
- subcategory 2
- subcategory 3
category 3
.
.
.
This part of the script works fine.
The second thing that should happen is that if there are actually no
subcategories for the selected category then subcat_id should equal 0 and
the script should redirect back to the same page with the GET variables of
cat_id and subcat_id (which is equal to zero at this point). The problem is
that I cannot redirect with a header() function because content is already
sent to the browser at the beginning of the script (the list of categories).
Is there any other way that I can redirect and send the variables of cat_id
and subcat_id to the page in the second situation mentioned earlier?
Register Globals is on.

Would someone be kind enough to explain why I'm not getting the correct
result from the following query. If I select a valid member no. and name,
the following query should return 1 row. This is not the case, however. It
returns zero rows.
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE member_no = '$member_no' and
name = ' $name' ";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Cannot verify the member");
$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "rows = $rows";
Furthermore when trying the following query where the table "users" contains
13 rows, the query returns only 12 rows.
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Cannot verify the member");
$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "rows = $rows";
Conclusion: mysql_num_rows seems to be returning one less row than exists.
Is this correct?
Thanks in advance

Assuming $username is 'tom', are you trying to create:
a) /home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforumtom
or:
b) /home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforum/tom
Your code is trying to do (a). In any case whatever you're trying to do, you
need both the following:
i) Have execute permissions ('x') on all the directories in the path leading
down to where you wish to create your directory
ii) Have write permission ('w') on the directory in which you are creating
your directory
Jason and TechSupport,
Jeeze, do I feel stupid. One slash and that's all it took. Thanks much.
Re the permissions, I have userforum set to 0777. php creates the new
directory as 0775. Presumably this is because of the effect of umask,
right?
When I upload files to the new directory using php uploading script, they go
in as 0600, with owner - httpd, and group - root. (The owner/group on my
machine is httpd/httpd). I can link to and read the files on the browser OK
so I'm happy. Are there any security issues I should be concerned with
here.
Thanks again, Roger Lewis

Re: [PHP] New way to make select boxes auto select
i used the same techniqu a while back when i worked with Fast Template.
scenario:
- present a user with a form to input
- there are several text fields and several select options
- if there is/are error(s) upon form submission, we will call the same template
file and insert proper error messages at appropriate places, normally close to
the input field.
- we would also luv to make the select option field to DEFAULT to the PREVIOUS
value that WAS selected.
with the technique that Nathan describe below, you can do just that.
At present i have dropped this technique as I have switched to Smarty. Smarty
can do all this with its {html_optios blah blah blah}.
Recently I made frequent use of Webreference javascript to make select boxes
that are related to each other. ie changing(selecting) a left select box would
make a right select box change accordingly. I am trying to apply Smarty to this
but my javascript knowledge is too shallow. after submitting a form with
errors, the 2 select boxes will default back when the script starts. which is
NOT what i want. if nebody have done this, appreciate your help.

Be careful however. Most SMTP servers has a limit on the number of
recipients you can send one email to. It's a very easy way to trigger spam

I tried this, but I got an index error. It doesn't understand 'address'
and I couldn't figure out what was going on.

I like this method because it seems more elegant than above, but I don't
seem to be able to create the array properly.
I tried the following as well as many other combinations, but couldn't get
anything to work:
$sql = "SELECT email_address FROM users WHERE is_subscribed = 1";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$to = implode(",", mysql_fetch_array($result));

[PHP] How Do You Protect Individual Files
I haven't been able to find much on this subject in the archives. Using sessions I have been able to have the server validate the user's access level before serving him a page. I put include files on each page that I want authenticated. This is all well and good, except on my pages there are links to non-html, and non-php files that are stored in document directories on the server. How, on a file-by-file basis, do I ensure that the user is authorized to download these files? If he gets to them through the link I provide, this is acceptable because he is already authorized to view the page that the link is on. However, if he somehow knows the full path to the file, he can get to it directly, bypassing the link and overriding the authentication system. Thanks for any help on this question.

I also searched "protect individual files", "protect files", "authenticate files", and on and on. There are thousands of messages, but very few with relevant titles or content. One point to consider: I have no control over the files themselves. They are being uploaded to the document directories by end users, so I do not know the file names. What I am trying to do is prevent someone who knows the path to the file from being able to gain access to it without authorization. One of the best ideas I saw was to put the files outside the web root directory. That sounded pretty good until I discovered that then I couldn't access the files. Now you've again pointed out that solution, so I'm sure it will work. I've just got to study up on the subject. I ran across the Zend article a couple of weeks ago, but it's going to take me awhile to understand it. I'm pretty new at this game, and my programming skills are very limited. I'm going to research .htaccess also.

[PHP] Multiple File Uploads With a Single Input
Is anyone aware of any recent developments that would allow you to upload multiple files from a single . Many of the messages in the archives say that this is impossible; however, these messages are more that a year old. I would like to be able to click a browse button, select multiple files, and upload them to a directory all at one time. Can it be done?

RE: [PHP] How Do You Protect Individual Files
Justin, Thanks again. I've been doing some more research on .htaccess. The problem I see is that it is high maintenance, i.e. I've already got a MySQL table of users with username and password. To use .htaccess, you have to have a htpasswd file containing duplicate usernames and passwords, and this would have to be in sync with the MySQL table. I have found that there is an Apache module, mod_auth_mysql, that allows .htaccess to access a MySQL database for the information it needs. This module is available at http://www.diegonet.com/support/mod_auth_mysql.shtml. Problem is you have to install the mod and recompile Apache, I think. And I don't know how to do that yet. However, if everything works in accordance with my interpretation, you should be able to put an .htascess file into the directory you wish to protect and Mod_auth_mysql will communicate with the database to authenticate the users.

I have been struggling with this problem for the last several days. (See my
recent post, "Trouble Downloading Files, 8.24.02". The problem I had was
mostly with IE. Here is how I solved it.
I used the code from the following as the basis of my code:
http://www.zend.com/zend/trick/tricks-august-2001.php
To make it work in IE, I had to add two lines to the section on "send
headers" (See commented lines below).
//send headers
if(($pc > 1) AND isset($mimetype[$p[$pc - 1]]))
{
//display file inside browser
header("Content-type: " . $mimetype[$p[$pc - 1]] . "\n");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"\n"); // THIS
LINE IS ADDED TO GIVE A CHOICE TO OPEN, OR SAVE AS FILENAME.
}
else
{
//force download dialog
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream\n");
header("Content-disposition: attachment;
filename=\"$file\"\n");
}
header('Cache-Control: public');// THIS LINE IS ADDED TO MAKE MSIE
WORK
AT ALL
header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary\n");
header("Content-length: " . filesize($path) . "\n");
//send file contents
$fp=fopen($path, "r");
fpassthru($fp);
The Cache-Control header came from comments by [EMAIL PROTECTED], 04-Apr-2002
12:25, in http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fpassthru.php
I'm not sure why these additions fixed the problem, but they did. Maybe
someone out there with a better understanding than I can explain. Hope this
helps.

Richard,
Did you see my reply to your recent response to David Buerer in "Re: set
filename of file open/download"?
After searching everything I could find on the subject, and hours of trying
as many combinations of headers as I could think of, I got everything to
work the way I wanted in "both" IE and NN. The pop-up pops up. The jpg and
pdf, etc. files open in the windows. If it's an xls or some such file, the
dialog asks if I want to save or open. Whatever my response, it knows the
filename and behaves as requested. Hard to believe. :) I believe the key
was to add:
header('Cache-Control: public');
Any thoughts as to why this is needed for MSIE.

[PHP] Dependent Dropdown Boxes
The Situation:
I'm trying to create a pair of dynamic dropdown boxes where the options in
the second box are dependent on the selection in the first box. I call the
first box "categories" and the second, "subcategories". I want to store the
categories and subcategories in a mysql table(s) so that a user can
dynamically update them. Currently, I have a single table called
categories, with columns: id, category, and subcategory.
The primary code for selecting the options for the second box is in
javascript. This code makes use of the following datasets for storing the
various categories and subcategories. If I can get php to generate this
text, then the dependent boxes will work.
datasets=new Array();
datasets[0]="Category1,subCategory1_1,subCategory1_2,subCategory1_3,subCateg
ory1_4".split(",");
datasets[1]="Category2,subCategory2_1,subCategory2_2,subCategory2_3".split("
,");
datasets[2]="Category3,subCategory3_1, subCategory3_2,
subCategory3_3,subCategory3_4,subCategory3_5".split(",");
datasets[3]="Category4,subCategory4_1,subCategory4_2,subCategory4_3,subCateg
ory4_4".split(",");
datasets[4]="Category5,subCategory5_1,subCategory5_2,subCategory5_3,subCateg
ory5_4,subCategory5_5,subCategory5_6".split(",");
etc
The Problem:
Using the following code I can get php to print the results, but only in a
line-by-line, category/subcategory format. Of course, this is NOT what is
needed. Each subcategory name should be on the same line as its associated
category.
datasets[$count]=\"";
print "$row[1],";
print "$row[2]\"";
}
?>
datasets[0]="Category1,subCategory1_1
datasets[1]="Category1,subCategory1_2
datasets[2]="Category1,subCategory1_3
datasets[3]="Category1,subCategory1_4
datasets[4]="Category2,subCategory2_1
datasets[5]="Category2,subCategory2_2
etc
Can someone explain how to write the php code to output the category and
subcategory names from the mysql table to match the javascript format above.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

[PHP] Problem with is_dir function
I'm having a problem with the is_dir function, or maybe I don't understand how it supposed to work. I'm using the following code to check whether or not a directory called $user_dir exists. If it exists, I am returned the proper message. But if it doesn't exist, I get the following error message that says that it doesn't exist. (I already knew that!) http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Problem with is_dir function
I believe the path is of the correct format.
So for example, if
$user_dir = /home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforum/user
and $user_dir exists, then
is_dir($user_dir) should = 1
however, if $user_dir doesn't exist, then
is_dir($user_dir) should = 0
Isn't this the correct logic?

Subject: Re: [PHP] Problem with is_dir function
what values of $user_dir are you passing to is_dir?
echo them out before the test, you might be sending paths which are most
certainly not directories... for example:
c:\windows
/home/blah
would be valid, but
c:\windows\win.com
/home/blah/myfile
http://somesite/somepath
ftp://someftpserver/incoming
are invalid
Hope this helps

picking up on the first record in the database? If the 'id' I'm looking
for is '1' it doesn't populate the _SESSION variables. Any 'id' greater
then '1' will populate the _SESSION variables.
$q = "SELECT * FROM employee";
$r = mysql_query($q);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($r);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($r))
{
if ($employee == $row["id"])
{
$_SESSION['dear'] = $row["last_name"];
$_SESSION['to_email'] = $row["email"];
}
}

My problem/question is as follows.
I have an email script that works in the following steps:

4) Then send the email
5) Prompted to create another or logout (if create another, then some
session variables are unset) (if logout then session is destroyed)
Everything works as intended.
One user, however, has created a glitch. He/she logged out and later
returned to their still opened browser and used the "back" button to
return to step 2 in the process. Every email they created after
using the back button has the following problems:
1) The reply to address and the from address are both default server

2) If, after a user has attained step 3, they use their back button
to change a variables value in step 2, the new value is never saved

can I adjust for people using their "back" buttons during the

[PHP] preserving blank space padding when using fgetcsv
Hello,
I've been researching this for most of the day and am unable to find an
answer.
I'm using fgetcsv to read a comma delimited file (Microsoft Excel CSV).
I'm trying to create a PHP application which will read a csv file line
by line, remove the commas and preserve the padding that is in each
column. That means if a column is a fixed length of 15 characters and
the actual text in that column is only 5 characters long, the
application will preserve the extra 10 blank spaces.
I'm able to open and read the csv using fgetcsv:
$handle = fopen ($filename, "r");
while ($mpt_line = fgetcsv ($handle, filesize ($filename), ","))
{
Then I check each member of that array to make sure it is the proper
length for that column:
if (strlen($mpt_line[0])<4)
{
str_pad($mpt_line[0], 4, " ", STR_PAD_RIGHT);
}
When all of the length checks are finished I remove the commas and then
print out the finished product:
}
$no_commas = str_replace(",", "", $mpt_line);
print "aa/".$no_commas[0]."/aa";
For output all I get is the actual text and no blank space padding.
Meaning that if the field contains two characters of data it should
still appear 4 characters in length. I was hoping to achieve aa/hi /aa
instead all I get is aa/hi/aa.
Thanks,

[PHP] preserving blank space padding when using fgetcsv
The first time I sent this message to the list, this is what bounced back...
"Hi. This is the qmail-send program at pb1.pair.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
This message is looping: it already has my Delivered-To line. (#5.4.6)"
So I am resending it. I apologize if anyone is getting this message twice..
Hello,
I've been researching this for most of the day and am unable to find an
answer.
I'm using fgetcsv to read a comma delimited file (Microsoft Excel CSV).
I'm trying to create a PHP application which will read a csv file line
by line, remove the commas and preserve the padding that is in each
column. That means if a column is a fixed length of 15 characters and
the actual text in that column is only 5 characters long, the
application will preserve the extra 10 blank spaces.
I'm able to open and read the csv using fgetcsv:
$handle = fopen ($filename, "r");
while ($mpt_line = fgetcsv ($handle, filesize ($filename), ","))
{
Then I check each member of that array to make sure it is the proper
length for that column:
if (strlen($mpt_line[0])<4)
{
str_pad($mpt_line[0], 4, " ", STR_PAD_RIGHT);
}
When all of the length checks are finished I remove the commas and then
print out the finished product:
}
$no_commas = str_replace(",", "", $mpt_line);
print "aa/".$no_commas[0]."/aa";
For output all I get is the actual text and no blank space padding.

[PHP] Rename generates level 2 warning but works
Hello,
I have this magical script which uses rename. A visitor to the site
uploads a file and I want to rename it to a timestamp. Oddly enough,
the rename() function actually works, it renames the file AND then
generates a level 2 warning:
Error code: 2
Error message: rename() failed (No such file or directory)
Why does it work AND create a warning?
Here's the snippet of code:
$rename = time();
$old_name = $_FILES['uploadedFile']['name'];
$read_extension = explode(".", $old_name);
$ext = $read_extension[1];
$new_name = $rename.".".$ext;
rename($old_name, $new_name);
I know I can suppress the the warning with @, but I'm more interested in
WHY this warning gets generated. I'm using PHP 4.2.2 on a Linux box.
Any hints or suggestions are greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Roger

remove the " from around the rename function:
You have this:
system("rename('/path/to/new.sh', '/path/to/old.$today')");
Try this:
system(rename('/path/to/new.sh', '/path/to/old.$today'));

[PHP] is ' or " different in MS-Word then ascII?
Hello, This question may border on OT... I have a web form where visitors must enter large amounts of text at one time (text area). Once submitted, the large amount of text is stored as a CLOB in an Oracle database. Some of my visitors create their text in Ms-Word and then cut and paste it into the text area and then submit the form. When I retrieve it from the database, I do a stripslahses, htmlentities and nl2br in that order to preserve the format of the submitted test. When I view this text, single or double quotes show up as little white square blocks. I've tested this out with MS-Word on a windows machine and a mac machine. Same thing happens with either OS. This only happens when they cut and paste from MS-Word into the text area. If they type text into the text area directly, everything is fine... I know I can search through their submitted text and swap out the unrecognized character and insert the proper one. I just don't know what to look for as being the unrecognized character. I've googled all over looking at ascII charts and keyboard maps. Nothing mentions MS-Word specific information though. Anyone out there dealt with this before?

When you hit submit, it just redisplays what ever you typed. Now, using this new test script if I cut and paste from MS-Word, there is no problem. So that leads me to believe that it has something to do with either writing the CLOB onto the Oracel database or retrieving the CLOB from the Oracle database. In either of those two actions, the data is becoming corrupted of sorts I'm currently playing around with my arrangment of stripslashes, htmlentities and nl2br. Trying to arrange them either before placing onto the database or after retrieval. I'm also creating a test where I just cut and paste " into the area and use ord() to find out what it's returning...

I'm guessing that is a hex value. And when I look that up on the ascII table, it says: 19 DC3 (Device Control 3) For some reason when it retrieves the CLOB from the database it is converting any " that were created with MS-Word into this DC3 character.

[PHP] SOLVED=> is ' or " different in MS-Word then ascII?
Hello Everybody, I have found a solution and/or the root of the problem. I googled on the topic of "MS-Word" + "smart quotes". That lead me to this site: http://www.rpgtimes.net/rpgtimes/guide.php?guide=1 It seems that the default for Word is to have smart quotes to "on". When you have smart quotes "on" it replaces the ordinary straight quotes with a left specific and right specific quote. To correct this: Go into TOOLS>AUTO-CORRECT>AUTO-FORMAT>remove checkmark from "replace straight quotes with smart quotes". Also in TOOLS>AUTO-CORRECT you must remove the line in AUTO-REPLACE about replacing ... with three dots that are closer together. Once I did that, my problem was solved Thanks to all who have helped today. I appreaciate it!! BEFORE I changed these two Word settings, when writing to the database, the ord() (ordinate) value for the left quote was 147 and the right quote was 148. When being retrieved from the database, the ord() (ordinate) value for the left quote was 17 and the right quote was 19. Thanks again to everyone who offered help!

[PHP] SOLVED => is ' or " different in MS-Word then ascII?
Here is a real code solution instead of my original posted client
solution
My original problem involved text submitted via the good old fashion
in a web form. If a visitor created their text in MS-Word
and then cut and paste their text over to the web form and submitted,
any place within their text that they used ' or " would be turned into
little white boxes.
After spending a day researching this problem, I realized I could just
inform the visitors to turn off Smart Quotes in their word processor
application.
Overcome with frustration and exhaustion, I posted this to the list as
SOLVED and provided my client solution. As many of you pointed out
(thank you), it's not a valid solution for a large user base. And as
some pointed out (thank you), it's not a solution by any means...
Tom Rogers explained the problem and provided a code solution:
The problem is that Microsoft uses a non standard Latin-1 code for their
"smart" quotes and a lot of programs don't know what to do with them as
a few are actually control codes in other languages.
function clean_ms_word($text){
$crap = array(
chr(0x82),chr(0x83),chr(0x84),chr(0x85),chr(0x86),chr(0x87),chr(0x88),chr(0x89),
chr(0x8a),chr(0x8b),chr(0x8c),chr(0x91),chr(0x92),chr(0x93),chr(0x94),chr(0x95),
chr(0x96),chr(0x97),chr(0x98),chr(0x99),chr(0x9a),chr(0x9b),chr(0x9c),chr(0x9f)
);
$clean = array(
'‚','ƒ','„','&ldots;','†','‡','','‰',
'Š','‹','Œ','‘','’','“','”','•',
'–','—','˜','™','š','›','œ','Ÿ'
);
$content = str_replace($crap,$clean,$text);
return $content;
}
$string = chr(0x93).'Test'.chr(0x94);
echo clean_ms_word($string).'';
Thanks Tom! Works like a charm!! Also, thanks to everyone who offered
tips, suggestions, and solutions...

[PHP] Downloading Images
All,
I have searched high and low through the lists to find
a solution to this problem but none of the suggestions
appear to work for me.
I have added a download button to a web-site that
enables users to download images to their local
drives. (I'm using a button as I want to wrap some
logic round this function) I have the following
(simplified code )that will be called from the
web-site when the button is clicked.
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header( "Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=01lg.jpg");
$filename= "c:/program files/apache
group/apache/kidz/gallery/download/01lg.jpg";
include($filename);
The result is the SaveAs box appears and the image is
being downloaded with the correct name however when I
try and re-open the image i get the message invalid
header. Does anyone have any ideas?
Vesrions are PHP 3,IE6, Windows ME.
Thanks very much in advance,
Roger

Hi Dave,
Thanks for you prompt response. The Image is indeed a
different length, (3k as opposed to the original 9k) I
originally did have an error message appended to the
downloaded image but that no longer appears to be the
case. However the image is definitely truncated. Any
ideas why this may be happening? Please find attached

[PHP] Upload File Path Problem
All,
I am putting together a simple upload program where an
HTML form calls a php script passing a file which is
then used to upload. I am running this locally
currently, prior to rolling out to a test server.
My problem is this. The variable $filename I am
passing from the form to the php script is having the
path corrupted. In the php script if I echo
$filename_name the file name is being passed correctly
(test.txt) but when I echo the $filename variable it
contains a value of \\php2 when infact the correct
value should be c:\test.txt.
I include below my sample code. If anyone has any
ideas I would be most grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Roger
