[PHP] Netscape6 and Javascript

[wolf]

Hi, I need help for an non-php-problem.

I've a frameset with 2 frames.
There is a TOPframe with the name "topframe"
who contains an input-Field.
  
in the form named "mainform".

The BOTTOMframe contains a link.
With the link I have to change the value
of the input field in the TOPframe.
The Javascript command
parent.topframe.mainform.txt.value=val;
doesn't work in Netscape 6.

Tell me the correct syntax.

Thanx

I don't "dabble" in it either, unless you consider making my living from being 
a dabbler, in which case I'll continue to dabble and see the pay for it.  My 
alma-mater tried to stay current to some degree, but when they let someone who 
wrote the C++ book try to teach it, well they gave that person more rope then 
they needed.

Tedd, glad you got hooked on Phonics.  One of these days I hope from graduating 
from just looking at the pictures, but right now the pictures are oh so 
enticing!. ;)

STFW as Google has the answer..

But... you need to actually provide MORE of the code, since the error pretty 
much tells you that you don't have a connection to your database.  Not a PHP 
issue really.

Change the include to require (should barf faster)

change this to:
$result = mysql_query ($sql) or die(mysql_error());

And as I said before, your error code tells you that the connection to the 
database is invalid.  Making the changes to the code I wrote above should point 
you in the right direction to get it figured out.

You need to actually look at your error logs as if the server is set up right

RE: [PHP] $_POST suddenly empty; $_GET and _$REQUEST fine

[Wolf]

-Original Message-
From: Alex Kirk 

I've got an Apache 2.2.3 server running PHP 5.2.6 on top of FreeBSD  
6.2. It's worked quite well for over a year now. However, as of some  
time last night, phpBB broke; upon investigation, I realized that the  
problem was that $_POST was never getting populated, even on properly  
formed HTML forms.

Testing this to try to find the issue, I used the following script:

\n";
?>

http://www.newmars.com/test.php  
name=formname enctype="multipart/form-data">




It works like a charm on a different machine with an essentially  
identical config (it's a newer version of FreeBSD, but that's about  
it); however, it never displays the contents of $_POST['testvar'] on  
the machine that suddenly quit functioning right last night.

Meanwhile, the rest of PHP seems to be working fine, as the phpBB  
forum is accessible in a read-only fashion.

I've searched all over, and done things like restarting Apache;  
checking phpinfo() for the POST data (it's not there on the broken  
server, but it is on the functional one); writting a quick Perl script  
that took POST input to verify that my browser was sending such data  
properly (it is); and scouring the Apache/PHP error logs. The worst  
part is, I didn't touch the config at all between when it worked and  
when it didn't. So now I'm at a total loss as to what could be causing  
this, or how I should go about troubleshooting...

==

Did you check the apache logs or the php error logs?

How about disk space on the server location where it is storing it's temp files 
for the server?

I've seen something similar when disk space was nil after some scripts ran 
amok.

Putting it in the file is ideal if he can't set up his server to do it
via one of the other methods, however if he HAS set it up via other
methods, you normally HAVE to restart the server processes so that they
re-read the PHP.ini file so they actually will DO the changes that you
have made to them.

Otherwise you are just wasting more time.

Never trust users to give you the data you expect.

Javascript/Ajax is a nicety but even when adding more things it can be broken.  
Always double-check and validate everything on the server side.

JAVA is on the client side. That is, it runs in the users browser.

PHP is on the server side, and there is no direct interaction between 
PHP and the user.

It seems from what you write that you need a "form" in a web page, and a 
PHP script to process the data the user enters and submits from the 
form. You may not need JAVA at all.

If this is what you want to go, Google, "PHP forms"

Stephen
-- 

For that, you don't even need PHP!  You can do that directly with HTML.  Forms 
are html and css, php would only be needed to process the data received from 
the forms.

But then, you can do that with CGI/Perl as well...

But at this point, stfw and go for forms.  Htmlgoodies.com is a good tutorial 
place to go..

Change your line to:
require('$incl') or die('File not found');

Require can be dork about things like this, I normally wind up handling to 
fiddle with the coding for them.

Keep replies on the list too, in case someone else stumbles in...  :)

Did you try switching it from require to include?

Did you try just using the full path to the file?

See!  I told you I always have problems with those!  :)

Normally I'm not so literal though. 

so yeah:
require("$incl");
include("$incl");

I prefer the includes over the requires, but that is personal preference.

That's a very good point  Getting PHP up and running will require the OP to 
read and follow the documentation.

But after that, you can mix and mingle at will, however good programming 
practices dictate that you become smart about your coding instead of dumping 
things in the original HTML and just playing.

Gotta be smart about things.

Change your script so that it has the following:
1. array with the page names/urls in it
2. foreach loop right after the array to parse it
3. in the current place of the file name, but the variable
4. Make sure to close the foreach loop

To find your reasons for blank pages:
1) check the php_error log if you have set it up
2) run the file via the command-line (php $filename) and see what happens, what 
errors you are getting back...

Basically, go smack whomever told you to load all that stuff into a session.  
It's a paging query that you want to do, but I'd not recommend doing it to 
store it in a session.

You can store all that stuff into a session, but you risk putting a greater 
load on the users session then you would be putting on the database server.

If you are running MySQL, go get a 486, put Fedora on it and use it for the 
heavy queries.

$STRING="10.0.0.1 - - [21/Jul/2009:00:00:47 -0300] ... more stuff here"

untested, but that should be pretty much all you need.

Congratulations Dan!

On a side note, next time you go down the glorious path to having a

Glad to hear that the family is doing well.  Always a good thing.

Depends on what you are looking to do..

Are you also needing to keep whether or not a specific project?  
If it is regular time/Overtime? 

It may be easier to set the database up: user,week,day,project,hours,type

Then you can query the info/user off that, it should allow you to expand as 
needed.

[PHP] PHP Site Hacking Tools Revealed

[Wolf]

Folks,

I have been busy with life over the last number of months and have
finally been able to sit down and take the time to construct a site to
house the scripts that people have used to try to take down my server.
The following URL links to the majority of the hack tools that have been
tried.  They are set to display their source only, a couple of them do
not display their Source, but I am sure that if you look on the web for
them as they are named on the link, that you will find what you seek.

Re: [PHP] Can a Form Action transfer to another file that is a form?

[Wolf]

You can either split them off, or you will need to POST encode the data
and pass it along to the next page.  I'd have to see how the entire
process/scripts were running to give you a good code sample, but if you
want info to pass from one page to the next, POST it

Re: [PHP] simple form web site up date

I cheat for some of mine.  I just write what I want/need to a MySQL with 
form inputs and then the page just queries the database.  takes it 0 
time to do it that way, and in case there is something screwed up 
date-wise, they can go in and fix it without too much hassle.

True, it has nothing to do with php programming other than compliance, 
accessibility, data gathering and data presentation.


If php lived in a vacuum where computation was all there was, then that 
would not be a concern. However, we use other languages to grab our 
input and present our findings. IMO, to be "well rounded" we have to 
understand other languages such as html, xml, mysql, css, javascript and 
even ajax. These languages have both good and bad practices and carry 
with them responsibilities to our clients and adherence to standards and 
compliance issues. It's more than just pounding code.


I think it's good that we discuss these things because it brings about 
an understanding and appreciation of issues where our actions may have 
far reaching influence on important matters of which we may not be 
aware. Knowledge carries with it responsibility.

Re: [PHP] How Best to Maintain Sort Order Field

[Wolf]

IMO, you don't WANT to change that behavior.  The category_id should 
remain as a auto-fill field for the database itself, then just sort the 
results of your categories by name or order instead of by id when 
displaying out to the page.


HTH,

Stephen wrote:
I have created some PHP scripts that use MySQL to organize the 
photographs on my web site.


They are grouped into categories and the table for categories has these 
fields:


Category_id
Category_order
Category_name
Category_description

When creating a category, the category_id field is blank

I want to create another form to allow populating and/or changing this 
field and then updating the database.


I will select all category rows, dynamically build the form and update 
the database, of course.


But the next level of detail is not clear to me.

What should I make the form look like? Can I do it so that after the 
update order values will always go from 1 to n where n is the number of 
categories?

Re: [PHP] date formatting

Just have your input form get it in sections, then piece it all together when 
dumping it to MySQL

This way you can transparent the code on the front to users, but have it in the 
right format in the backend.

[PHP] look at all files, then go elsewhere

[Wolf]

All,

I'm trying to figure out the logic piece, and I'm pretty sure I am missing 
something simple.

I have a script that I want to check all files in a directory for information, 
if it doesn't find it when all done, I want it to go elsewhere, however if it 
does find it, I want it to break out of the search and perform a function.

CODE:
if ($userinfo == "")
{
 if ($handle = opendir('./bp_csv/')) {
  while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
   if($file != '..' && $file != '.') {
if(is_dir($file)) { //Diretory skipped
 } else {
 $command = 'cat ./bp_csv/' . $file . ' | grep '"';
 $user = $_POST[userid];
 $command .= $user . '"'';
 $userinfo=exec($command);
// here's where it is multi-looping
 if ($userinfo =="")
 { 
   echo "$user not found in any BP_CSV files, now running LDAP check";
   ldap_check($user);
 }
 else
 {
  // ok, found the person, run the function
  userprofile($userinfo);
 }
}
   }
  }
 } 
}
else
{
 //original data has contents, go after user data
 userprofile($userinfo);
}

--- END CODE

Re: [PHP] This, then that.

actually, you could run it by 

1.  making the page
2. flushing the output buffer (which puts it in the screen)
3. run the 2nd script

Re: [PHP] Can a PHP script process a file on a remote computer?

[Wolf]

Go into your php.ini file and increase the script timeout length, which should 
allow the upload to finish.

Re: [PHP] SMTP unable to relay

[Wolf]

As previously posted, you need to work with your mail server admin.

sendmail is not normally on WinDoze boxes, so do some googling for the
setup you have, and talk with your admins to see what you need to do to
get it set up to work correctly.

[PHP] Compilers

Anyone use compilers (linux based or Windoze) and which do you use?

Looking for something free (best) or low cost as we are doing some

Re: [PHP] More info on timeout problem

[Wolf]

One thing to note, if you have not upped the max file size to be over what you 
are trying to load, the server will hang.

;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;

max_execution_time = 7200 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in 
seconds
max_input_time = 7200   ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing 
request data
memory_limit = 2G  ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume


; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 8M  // CHANGE THIS!!

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 2M  // CHANGE THIS!!

Also look in any php.ini files in apache's conf.d directory for files that set 
it back to these default limits

You'll notice, I have increased my max execution times, input times, and memory 
limit but not my upload sizes, but that is only due to the server I snagged it 
from not doing uploads.  I have another server which has a 879M upload limit 
and has no problems with large files getting to it.

It amazes me that you attack in one post then beg for help in another.

Neither of which have you followed basic concepts such as:
1. posting your code
2. posting your output
3. describing your problem

As for this post, it is common practice for contractors to post they are 
seeking some contract workers.  If you are interested in applying for it, 
contact the person posting the job.  If you aren't, then delete the post.

RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail

[Wolf]

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

http://www.google.com
php: {issue}

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...

RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail

[Wolf]

Guidance:
1.  Learn the syntax of PHP, including how to concatenate information to 
variables.
2.  Learn the syntax of coding standards for the language you are using.
3.  Learn the proper way to ask for help
4.  Learn the proper way to read answers provided, since this is difficult for 
you...
A. Remove head from @$$
B. Read email top to bottom (printing it out sometimes helps)
C. Mark through the bits of working code that you provided
D. Re-Read non-working code with helpful tips from those whom have given 
you answers
E. THANK THE ANSWERERS FOR THEIR HELP
F. Fully document your code with the markings where you received further 
insight or code pieces themselves to show where you got it

If you don't like sarcasm or want people to do your homework for you, go to 
another list.  Many of us on here code daily, using pieces of our own and 
helping others and each other out (OK, I can't EVER remember helping Stut with 
something), but we are here because we like to help and pass on information.  
We are NOT here to write code for your business or homework.

You should be learning these principals in your class, you must have been 
skipping or asleep during them.

And yes, Stut's answers are great for the issue at hand, but you need to go 
back and follow the steps (possibly making sure to step A multiple times)... 
And I'd love to hear you recite the entire page.  What's your number and I'll 
speaker-phone it.  :-D

1.  Always copy the list back
2.  HERE is the right word you want, since you can't HEAR someone's on email or 
when reading the system files.  Maybe you should take English & Grammar 101 for 
your next course.

I didn't assume anything, merely followed the threads.  And since from the 
looks of things the thread has not changed, the back-story has...  Well draw 
your own conclusions there.

RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail

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.

RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail

[Wolf]

Brad,

Take 3 steps away from the computer.  Now take a few deep breaths.  Good.

Stut is NOT Jessen, make sure that the person who called you a dumbass is given 
the proper credit for doing so.  

Stut has tried to be helpful and if you take the time to read through it (are 
you on a deadline for having your homework done and partied too hard this 
weekend?) and you should be able to get your stuff handled.

BCC is the only way to send email without putting the recipients in the CC or 
To field.  But do make sure you follow the correct syntax to include them.

RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail

Why is what?  Sorry, you are going to have to go back and phrase this into a 
complete sentence.

"it makes no sense" refers to what exactly?

No, you don't have clearance since you haven't passed syntax 101 along with 
English and Grammar 101.  Once you have completed these courses, the answers to 
your questions should be as obvious as the keyboard in front of you.

If Stut's answer does not make sense to you, google concatenate in the 
dictionary (dictionay: concatenate), then re-read his answer.

Your professor MUST have a bottle stored somewhere...

RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail

[Wolf]

belligerent?  Moi?  Smart-ass yes, pointed yes.  belligerent? No.  But I don't 
take kind to pointed attacks at people who help many others and have tried 
repeatedly to help you without just changing the coding to work for you.  Why?  
Because they and I have helped and been helped by people on here and attacking 
them does not help anyone.  But the sarcasm will get people laughing.  And 
humor/laughter is the best medicine.

You combine the from along with the BCC because they are all part of the 
headers.  What you were doing instead was assigning both to headers as a 
variable.  Which means you no longer had a from.  But if you had concatenated 
them in the first place, that would not have been an issue.  

"" versus '' is syntax, pure and simple.  Some work different ways depending on 
how they are being operated on.  For instance you can do the following:


As for understanding "" versus '' ...  Well they both have their uses and you 
will need to see what works best for your current instant issues, and if one of 
them fails, then you will need to massage the code.  Notice that the last 
example I wrote concatenated the variable with the string to give me the proper 
output.

If you play with mail enough, you will find that your stuff will work when 
dumped into $header whereas it will fail when placed into others.  As for WHY 
that is, blame it on smtp.

If your email is going to some but not all, then the some more then likely are 
getting filtered.  Possibly by the sending server, possibly by a middle server 
that the recipients have set up, possibly by a filter on their end.  Email 
either works or does not.  If all of the email addresses are in the same field 
(to, cc, bcc) and some have received and some have not, then the bet is either 
1.  bad addresses, or 2. filtered.  Again, it's not a mail problem attributable 
to PHP but to either the person entering the email addresses, bad information 
or a filter (which could be done multiple ways).

If you had taken the breaths and calmed down when Stut wrote you, Chris would 
not have had to rewrite your own code to show the simple syntax flub that was 
partially causing your issue.

And as for the note about email addresses and URLs, this list IS actively 
parsed for those things, so make sure your mail filters are up to snuff.  And 
advise anyone who's email and/or URL you have sent out to make sure theirs is 
as well.  And as for sending the phpinfo output...  Well I'd just make sure the 
server admins are aware of it and have proper security in place as well.

You will find that those who try to answer you won't just give you a straight 
answer for the most part but will try to guide you to see what you did.  
Especially for something syntax.  We all make a mistake on it once in a while 
(well maybe not Stut and Chris) but even I will get a coworker to read through 
the code.  The important thing is making sure your () and {} are properly done 
and your ; are in the right spot, the rest normally takes some massaging to get 
right for what your needs are.

As for the grammar and security clearance and whatnot  well let's just say 
that when you took the breath and came back without attacking that it showed 
you thought things through.

 Jim,

At this point, we need to just get his homework assignment parameters from 
"Brad" so we can see what next questions he'll have...  I'm not sure he needs 
to do SMTP auth but even if he does, he's going to need to be able to write 
correct syntax and debug his code along the way...

Actually, reading his "first post" tells you that he is trying to get this to 
work "for his business" and he's too much "into this guy for $$$" to go with a 
MySQL databased mailing list setup to get his email sent...

Anyone else besides me laughing their @$$ off at the fact that brad is one of 2 
people who are "Federal Technologies Networks" sole contacts?  And that their 
website has a flashy front page but drops to nothingness after that?

I did make sure to email the lady mentioned in all of those previous emails of 
his code about the probable increase of spam as well as the probably server 
attacks.

For any who aren't aware, sites such as this are culled for email/server 
information.  So don't post stuff out here unless you're prepared for it.  
Course I use Thunderbird's filtering/learning and it gets 99% of it.  :)

Yeah, same guy...  and from looking at the previous thread, it looks like the 
website he was working on was done by someone else.  It really looks like he 
has a shell company he is trying to get out there and failing on.  Kinda sad 
really, since his aced English and Grammar courses didn't teach him the 
difference between hear and here...

The first question I have is what does the Error log show?

You should have error reporting turned on so you can see where the script is 
barfing on the coding.

Your include path should be along the lines of:
include_path = ".:/usr/local/pear:/server/path/to/web/includes/folder"
so if your server root is /var/htdocs/www it would look like:
include_path = ".:/var/htdocs/www/includes:/usr/local/pear"

Notice that I changed the order to look local first, then go to the includes 
folder.

Re: [PHP] CVS TO ICAL

[Wolf]

Always make sure you reply to the list...

And yes, you can export as an ical format, just look at an ical file and
format your output to it.  It's just like doing the CSV/CVS/TXT or any
other file, you just have to put it in the right format with the right
extension when exporting.

You should be only "joined" on entries with the same amounts, so if username 
george is in both, it should join.

However if username george_by_george only exists in table 2, then you don't get 
a join happening.

What you would instead want to do is run a loop through the second table and 
grep the username against the first table.  If it exists, give them command to 
write table2.pass into table1.pass  
If it doesn't exist you want to write table2.user and table2.pass into table1

Glad you found an answer tedd, I was going to start digging through my old 
MySQL stuff and see what I could dig up, it's been a couple of years since 
doing any DB work that needed any of that.   Looks like the language and fun 
have changed since then!

Gotta love improvements.

[PHP] Securing your Sites

[Wolf]

For all of you with an upload/access page to your site that is
world-viewable I have made available copies of scripts that kiddies have
tried to use to take over my own server.  As my upload page has yet to
be broken nor my site taken over, I wanted to share them with everyone
as a way to learn how kiddies are trying/doing things as well as
educating everyone on what they need to do to secure their own site.

The specially hardened site for the scripts:
http://ambiguous.dnsalias.net/

A long time ago I saw a post about how to lock down your server, if I
can find it, I'll post it.  But until then, go through the scripts and
poke around on your own development sites and see if you can lock your
own system down.

Funny, they should all be PHPS, source only and my last check only did
them on the source viewing.  None of them are executable in that folder.

Re: [PHP] Securing your Sites

[Wolf]

2 things I've done to them to try to catch all...

1. GZiped them all (you'll have to download them to a machine and look
at the source yourself, taking your own precautions and YES, they will
scan malicious in this setup as they are all trojans/backdoors)
2. changed their extension to .txt on the server

I'll also modify the server folder they are running on to disable php
entirely later tonight so they can never execute it on it.

When I reloaded them in my windoze box, my AV picked up on them in the
cache as the trojans they are and disabled access to them in my
browser's cache.  Since I don't run php on the windoze box, there really
was nothing to worry about and I could view the source in the browser.

But if you didn't run AV on the system you looked at them at, installed
them to your own local area and started playing with them, then you
pretty much borked yourself.  They are live code (hence why they were
phps and should have just been source to view) and the only way to
really pick them apart to view them.

Considering that the code was phps and the server treated them as such
never did my server execute them.

Re: [PHP] Securing your Sites

[Wolf]

ALL of them should report trojan if you download them to your cache but
only should be an issue if you have PHP installed on that machine and
then execute that code in your own php server.

They are all trojans/back door.

But if you view the source then you aren't going to bork yourself.

As they are now all tar.gz the AV scanners should all catch them as
trojans, so you will need to tell your scanner to all you to access that
folder, save it to your local drive and view the source in your favorite
text editor to look at them.

Reminds me of an old programming book I had, under Functions, Recursive it said

see Functions, Recursive...

Hello;
I am running a server that is using UTC
and I want to be able to convert to
clients local time in some display presentations.
Is this indicated by $_SERVER["REQUEST_TIME"]?
If not, is there a way to get the requesting host's
time zone so I can offset the servers clock value correctly?
Thank you for info:

Re: [PHP] /etc/php.init changes not honored

restart the server process that is reading it, otherwise the server is using 
the original settings.

You can do some override by using the .htaccess file and setting specific 
things in specific folders, but if you are setting global changes, you have to 
restart the server process for the changes to be read.

[PHP] changing the ini from a file

[Wolf]

I'm using .htaccess to do
php_value auto_prepend_file "auth.php"

The problem is that there are very specific files that I want to be able to NOT 
run that in.  I guess I could just move them to a directory and use .htaccess 
to perform a 
php_value auto_prepend_file ""

But I was hoping to not have to make a separate folder for that.  Anyone 
encoutered being able to change/disable the  setting on the fly in a specific 
file?

Thanks!

LOTS of files, hence wanting to do it sporadic, mostly just for diagnostic 
pages.

I can always just drop them and use the .htaccess to disable the prepend for 
that folder/files but was wondering if I could do it on the fly.

Seems like the prepend can't but figured I would check with the folks here 
before I completely gave up.

I'm trying to NOT prepend the file, not have to modify every other file out 
there.  I'd use other includes if that was the case, but I don't need them, so 
it's more along the lines of disabling something preset for the site for a few 
files.

I love the idea and I might reverse it to handle the case of NOT prepending the 
file...

That or I'll just make a clean/diag directory, then put a .htaccess file in the 
folder and use it to remove the prepend...

Those are pretty sweet suggestions there Eric, I hadn't thought about the 
constant field or the commented on to check on.  :)

Thanks for sharing!!

Re: [PHP] Foreach

[Wolf]

Steve,

This should work as some basic sudo code.  You are running into a number of 
issues with your usage of the foreach as it sounds like what you really want to 
do is walk through one array and grab the corresponding value from another.

'.mysql_error());
  }
 }
}
?>

HTH,
Wolf

Of course it was missing the data validation, I don't write a whole page/app 
for anyone just out of the blue.  I was expecting Steve to make sure he handled 
the data validation on his side before implementing the code fully.  As it is, 
I would have used a function and array_walk to check the validness of each 
field and assign it to a new array if it was valid, then use the new arrays to 
actually be pushed into the mysql queries.  :)

I also tend to put in a referrer checker to make sure the page is coming where 
it should be coming from and depending on how nice I am either redirecting back 
to my page and my form, or heading them off to other fun places (like ratemypoo 
or something similar)  :)

Sending to the LIST this time...  I personally replied, how dumb was *I* 
this morning...  And top posted...  Twice...


Dang Jay, you feeling OK?  You've been quiet the last week...  Or did 
Richard just tie you up so you couldn't post and he could get top honors 
this week?   :)

Humbleness DOES normally come with age sometimes, but one would assume 
that with your advanced years that you might look at things differently. 
 That being said, while I'm sure Dan believes he's the "Year's Coolest 
Guy", there are some out there who think otherwise.  To each their own 
as is their right.  We DO live in a democracy with the right of free 
thought and speech, as a journalist should well know.  Perhaps during 
your editorial years you missed editing all the privacy laws and such 
concerning public domain.  From the news reports *I* keep seeing, the 
use of "public" sources and gathering of "public" information seems more 
about how much the "public" can be stretched for the raping of 
information to tweak the story to their own designs instead of going 
after the whole truth.  Gotta love one-sided reporting...  But I digress...





I done nothing wrong, but I've
created something that is useful and stimulating to those who Actually
Matter[TM].


Just to remind everyone what this useful and stimulating exercise was 
for, in your own words, it was 'For bragging rights, to keep track of 
how much time you've spent doing "community service" or whatever else.'


By publishing everyone's email address, you screwed up, but don't have 
the decency to admit it. And at no time have I stooped to calling you 
names.


Following the posts, I do believe Dan is going to mangle the email 
addresses.  Heck, he can omit them to just the "name" of the poster if 
he wants, won't bother me but then I don't have an á or é in my name 
that's still getting fudged...


But that is all besides the point.  YOU posted to the list, thereby 
doing so with an email address which you have PUBLICLY posted.  That you 
are not happy with the list coming out means that you failed to pay 
attention to this list for the last couple of weeks when 1) Dan's script 
blew up and 2) last week when Richard wasn't even showing on the list.


My suggestion would be to increase your spam blocking mechanism(s) such 
as Thunderbird's spam learning feature or your ISP's filtering or even 
running your email through your own Linux server and using clamAV and 
SpamAssassin to clean your email before popping it off to your local 
machine.


Either way, your problem was your own making.  Now, you could apologize 
to the list and Dan for blowing things out of proportion, which would 
show some humility, but you're pretty much the only one here complaining 
about your email address being posted by some one else after you have 
already done so.

It's on there as a joke, not out of lack of humility.  I always
have stupid little phrases in my signature lines.  This one was
actually meant to be a self-bashing line meaning, "I'm the only one
who thinks I'm cool."


Yeah, finding a random-quote adder for Thunderbird is NOT easy, even for 
a windoze system.  I used to have one with Outlook when I was forced to 
use it.  :/


But I think you're an OK kinda guy, but we'll have to see if Richard 
invites us to sit with the cool kids next time.  ;)





  That being said, while I'm sure Dan believes he's the "Year's Coolest
Guy", there are some out there who think otherwise.


Dude there are A LOT of them


Well I wasn't gonna go there...  ;)

Maybe I'm the only one who finds it interesting that jpni.co.uk is an 
empty apache setup that will only show a "This account is suspended" 
page when you go look at it.


And this little gem that David posted a while ago:
"With regard to the argument about free flow of information, all the
information in my books is freely available on the internet. However,
the value to most readers is that I have pulled together that
information, tested it, and presented it in a form that, hopefully,
makes it easier for beginners and intermediate developers to understand."

Now, while Dan hasn't posted his source code for the beginners and 
intermediates to cull through (maybe there are some other list admins of 
something productive like a good amateur porn site) that would like to 
use the same gathering tactics, he has used the free flow of information 
that is freely available on the internet to produce the posting summary.


Just some food for thought...

He sure is ... and he's right too!! ;)  A number of us are on here for both 
sharing the wealth and learning as we grow along.

Years ago I was in your shoes, functions were something I didn't want anything 
to do with.

Now though, I am finding a reason to write functions that I can use to handle a 
myriad number of things without having to code the same things over and over 
again.  And I use the same functions for anything I write, so that as I grow a 
function or site, all of the function pages are updated and everything is where 
I need it.  But even with all of that, sometimes the easiest solution is the 
simplest.  ;)

The first time we ever see all of us face to face there will have to be
a lot of beer bought. The conversation will be interesting though.
Several folks will ask and answer questions. I will say RTFM so many
times that folks will quit listening to me. Then Richard will answer all
of the questions in one long monologue. Daniel will then recap. Some
fool will ask a MySQL question at which point we will all point to
another room and advise them to get their answer there, either that or
they will have to buy the next round. A fist fight will occur when
someone provides an answer to a question that hasn't been asked. The
phrase "curly braces, schmurley braces" will be heard. And someone will
no doubt ask everyone else to speak up so that we can all hear the
question or answer.

Maybe this is the premise for the next great novel

Until that time, how many of you are on XBOX live and playing Call Of 
Duty 4?  Or playing Eve-Online?  :)


We could make a PHP clan and when the sides get to quarreling, have a 
war amongst ourselves to settle it.

Re: [PHP] How to download a file (with browser) using fsockopen() ?

[Wolf]

Wow, did you have to post this 6 times barney??

szalinski wrote:

Hi

I have been working on this download script for quite a while, and I just
can't find how to download a remote file via a user's browser using
fsockopen.

Basically I am wondering if anyone can just give me a simple working
example on how to use fsockopen() to fetch a file on a remote server, and
then pop up a save dialog box in my browser. For example, let's say I want
to download this file from here:

http://remotedomain.com/file.zip

Instead of putting this directly into my browser and then being prompted
to save it to my pc, how can i use fsockopen() to fetch the file, and get
the same prompt on my browser? E.g. I want to be able to do

http://localhost/index.php?url=http://remotedomain.com/file.zip

I know that this does not seem the most obvious and easy way to do it, but
i simply cannot get a file to download myself using fsockopen. I
specifically want this function, as I need to POST headers to the server
and I haven't as yet been able to download a file using it, without it
being corrupt, or the connection hanging. I just can't figure it out, and
I'm getting a bit tired with it!
I don't need a whole hand-made script, I just need the part where
fsockopen will download this file. Perhaps a working function that would
do it. Please try not to use classes or objects because I haven't quite
figured out object-oriented programming yet!!

Also, I would like if you can do it via HTTP 1.0 because I know HTTP 1.1
is tricky, and might require a chunk decoder, and i don't see the need for
it, unless someone is able to provide a working chunked data decoder.

Thanks to anyone who can help. :)
