[PHP] Re: Page loading time

There is no way to do this by just PHP script IMHO, but I can imagine
something like this one. Very suck, but
The idea is using PHP in order to write timestamp of the moment when
script starts and put it in JavaScript code which will be
onloaded. Script will calculate a difference and send it back to
server. This doesn't solve a situation when user and server are in
different timezones, this is point to improve. And also, I'm
interesting in ways of passing values on server without page
reloading. Currently I've done a trick with image's src, but it's a
silly way. Maybe someone knows a better one? Please send me an idea
(if off-topic, e-mails will be appreciated).
Here is a code:
CODE BEGIN=
<!--
function LoadDone()
{
now=new Date();
//javascript timestamp is in miliseconds, but in php it's in seconds
loadtime=Math.round(now.getTime()/1000)-"<? echo time(); ?>";
//calling fake image in order to pass the value
document.images['fakeimg'].src='log.php?lt='+loadtime;
}
//-->
This is a long page
===CODE END==
Well, a loading time will be sent to log.php
Hope this helps.

If sids are accessible via http_referer, there is a way to execute php scripts on behalf of a user. For example, user clicks a link to some php script which will grab sid from referer and then outputs a html with redirect to another script (for example to set a forwarding filter or etc). Since sid is right and also script was called from user's PC, this is a quite bad thing, but unfortunately this still exists on several web based e-mails. So, be careful in using only session mechanisms provided by PHP. It's quite insecure. -- Best regards, Martchukov Anton aka VHmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
