[PHP] PHP+MYSQL: unable to select database
I get: unable to select database when I visit my guestbook.php The user trying it is set in the mysql.user (without any perms) and in the mysql.db (with all perms).

[PHP] PHP 4.1.0 released
After a lengthy QA process, PHP 4.1.0 is finally out. Download at
http://www.php.net/downloads.php !
PHP 4.1.0 includes several other key improvements:
- A new input interface for improved security (read below)
- Highly improved performance in general
- Revolutionary performance and stability improvements under Windows. The
multithreaded server modules under Windows (ISAPI, Apache, etc.) perform as
much as 30 times faster under load! We want to thank Brett Brewer and his
team in Microsoft for working with us to improve PHP for Windows.
- Versioning support for extensions. Right now it's barely being used, but
the infrastructure was put in place to support separate version numbers for
different extensions. The negative side effect is that loading extensions
that were built against old versions of PHP will now result in a crash,
instead of in a nice clear message. Make sure you only use extensions
built with PHP 4.1.0.
- Turn-key output compression support
- *LOTS* of fixes and new functions
As some of you may notice, this version is quite historical, as it's the
first time in history we actually incremented the middle digit! :) The two
key reasons for this unprecedented change were the new input interface, and
the broken binary compatibility of modules due to the versioning support.
Following is a description of the new input mechanism. For a full list of
changes in PHP 4.1.0, scroll down to the end of this section.
---
SECURITY: NEW INPUT MECHANISM
First and foremost, it's important to stress that regardless of anything
you may read in the following lines, PHP 4.1.0 *supports* the old input
mechanisms from older versions. Old applications should go on working fine
without modification!
Now that we have that behind us, let's move on :)
For various reasons, PHP setups which rely on register_globals being on
(i.e., on form, server and environment variables becoming a part of the
global namespace, automatically) are very often exploitable to various
degrees. For example, the piece of code:
?php
if (authenticate_user()) {
$authenticated = true;
}
...
?
May be exploitable, as remote users can simply pass on 'authenticated' as a
form variable, and then even if authenticate_user() returns false,
$authenticated will actually be set to true. While this looks like a
simple example, in reality, quite a few PHP applications ended up being
exploitable by things related to this misfeature.
While it is quite possible to write secure code in PHP, we felt that the
fact that PHP makes it too easy to write insecure code was bad, and we've
decided to attempt a far-reaching change, and deprecate
register_globals. Obviously, because the vast majority of the PHP code in
the world relies on the existence of this feature, we have no plans to
actually remove it from PHP anytime in the foreseeable future, but we've
decided to encourage people to shut it off whenever possible.
To help users build PHP applications with register_globals being off, we've
added several new special variables that can be used instead of the old
global variables. There are 7 new special arrays:
$_GET - contains form variables sent through GET
$_POST - contains form variables sent through POST
$_COOKIE - contains HTTP cookie variables
$_SERVER - contains server variables (e.g., REMOTE_ADDR)
$_ENV - contains the environment variables
$_REQUEST - a merge of the GET variables, POST variables and Cookie
variables. In other words - all the information that is coming from the
user, and that from a security point of view, cannot be trusted.
$_SESSION - contains HTTP variables registered by the session module
Now, other than the fact that these variables contain this special
information, they're also special in another way - they're automatically
global in any scope. This means that you can access them anywhere, without
having to 'global' them first. For example:
function example1()
{
print $_GET[name]; // works, 'global $_GET;' is not necessary!
}
would work fine! We hope that this fact would ease the pain in migrating
old code to new code a bit, and we're confident it's going to make writing
new code easier. Another neat trick is that creating new entries in the
$_SESSION array will automatically register them as session variables, as
if you called session_register(). This trick is limited to the session
module only - for example, setting new entries in $_ENV will *not* perform
an implicit putenv().
PHP 4.1.0 still defaults to have register_globals set to on. It's a
transitional version, and we encourage application authors, especially
public ones which are used by a wide audience, to change their applications
to work in an environment where register_globals is set to off. Of course,
they should take advantage of the new features supplied in PHP 4.1.0 that
make this transition much easier.

Hi. First, please avoid cross-posting. Try to narrow down the problem by trying from the command line client (i.e. try to rule out PHP as source of the problem). If that doesn't work, try the PHP list. If you are successful, it belongs to the MySQL list (as PHP is no longer part of the problem). And it doesn't sound like any particular debian problem at all.

Re: [PHP] variables
I don't see any reason not to.
But you should allways try and make your varible names meaningful...
In some cases I do end up having the same, for example if I'm passing X,Y
coords around. But in othercases they have totally different names.
Also out of interest, activator=formal parameter, the other one is Actual

Re: [PHP] Store locator / postcode proximity
I'm wondering if anyone has any information about how to get the proximity data for postcodes in Australia? Or is it safe to assume that if a postcode is, say, 3107, that 3120 or 3110 (for example) are nearby as well as 3108 (so, perhaps, 10 above and 10 below could be safely assumed to be nearby?) Don't even bother trying that for Sydney. There's a border around Western Sydney where the Eastern suburbs are 21xx and the Western ones are 27xx. For example 2148 and 2767 are next to each other.

This isn't the appropriate forum for the question since it isn't php

That said, you should use the target attribute of the form tag. Set it to
the name of the frame you wish the content to be in.

I'm wondering if anyone has any information about how to get the proximity data for postcodes in Australia? Or is it safe to assume that if a postcode is, say, 3107, that 3120 or 3110 (for example) are nearby as well as 3108 (so, perhaps, 10 above and 10 below could be safely assumed to be nearby?) Don't even bother trying that for Sydney. There's a border around Western Sydney where the Eastern suburbs are 21xx and the Western ones are 27xx. For example 2148 and 2767 are next to each other. A search at google.com for australia list postal code got me http://www.auspost.com.au/postcodes/ from which you can download the full dbase in .csv format... it gives you town/suburb info which could probably be sufficient.

It's common logo without any idea except using title in it. I propose to create and develop new PHP logo corresponding to its power. My propose is WoodPecker (e.g. like Woody). Other propositions?

Hi
I'm trying to pre-fill a form ( the data is passed via sessions or from
another script).
i have some check boxes on the form that i would like checked if the
variable is present.
any ideas
I would write a checkbox-presenting function - pass it the name of
the variable the checkbox represents, it will see if the variable is set
(and if so, denote it CHECKED) and name the checkbox properly.
This should encapsulate stuff nicely and make your source easier to
follow; something like
function CondCheckbox($variablename) {
$str = INPUT TYPE='CHECKBOX' NAME='$variablename';
if (isset($GLOBALS[$variablename]))
$str .= CHECKED;
return $str.;
}
(note: I have not actually run-tested this; it should be pretty close,
though)
Then your form will look something like
Ingredients:
FORM
?php
echo CondCheckbox(flour).Flourbr;
echo CondCheckbox(butter).Butterbr;
echo CondCheckbox(salt).Saltbr;
echo CondCheckbox(oatmeal).Oatmealbr;
?
input type='submit'
/FORM
Is this something like what you were after? It would help
if you gave us a slightly more detailed idea of what sort of
data was involved.

[PHP] Re: setting up a user login with PHP
The easiest way is to use cookies.
=CODE
?php
require 'auth_functions.php';
if (authenticateUser($form_username, $form_password)){
setcookie(cookie_passwd,$form_password);
setcookie(cookie_user,$form_username);
header(Location:http://$SERVER/index2.php;);
exit();
} else {
header(Location:http://$SERVER/error.html;);
}
?
This code takes in input from a form as simple as this:
form name=form1 method=post action=index.php
Login: input type=text name=form_usernamebr
Password:
input type=password name=form_password br
input type=submit name=Submit value=Login
/form
Checks it against the database values using the function 'authenticateUser',
returns TRUE or FALSE.
If true, sends the user onto the correct page, if false, sends them to some
error page.
Now, in each other file, you'll need to check the cookies. The values for
the cookies are sent automatically by the user's browser. In this
particular examples, the cookie variables are named '$cookie_user' and
'$cookie_passwd'. You can see in the example how those are set.
You will check the cookies using the exact same 'authenticateUser' function.
Except in these files, you will use the cookie values as the parameters to
the function instead of the form values.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Jeremy Reed

RE: [PHP] php as cron
Good day, Calling another program with this script is unnecessary, since you are using the shebang operator. Instead of: */2 * * * * php /home/crontest.php /dev/null Use: */2 * * * * /home/crontest.php /dev/null Which should work just fine. As pointed out, the reason you were getting the message was because cron is not able to find php because /usr/local/bin is not in the path. If you really want to use it, then the following: */2 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/crontest.php /dev/null would also work. You could remove the #! line in your script if you do so.

The easiest way is to use cookies.

This code takes in input from a form as simple as this:
form name=form1 method=post action=index.php
Login: input type=text name=form_usernamebr
Password:
input type=password name=form_password br
input type=submit name=Submit value=Login
/form
Checks it against the database values using the function 'authenticateUser',
returns TRUE or FALSE.
If true, sends the user onto the correct page, if false, sends them to some
error page.
Now, in each other file, you'll need to check the cookies. The values for
the cookies are sent automatically by the user's browser. In this
particular examples, the cookie variables are named '$cookie_user' and
'$cookie_passwd'. You can see in the example how those are set.
You will check the cookies using the exact same 'authenticateUser' function.
Except in these files, you will use the cookie values as the parameters to
the function instead of the form values.
Hope this helps.

[PHP] mail attachment query
so i have a mail script which allows people to send attachments. This is activated by an htmlform, which allows users to select the file from their hard drive and post to the recipient. The problem I have is this- The file attachment is sent via email as a .dat file. If I specify the name of the file and its attachment in a variable called mail title all is well and good - $mail_body .= Content-type:$mime_type; name=\$mail_title This is of course if $mail_title is spomething likle mypicture.jpeg, if I leave the extension out then it os sent as a dat file. Now firstly the mime type might change depending onthe typeoffile the user wishes to send- it may be an swf or a doc. If the user specifies the type of file it is then this is fine. If the user doesnt specify the typeoffile being sent then all I have to go on is the name of the file uploaded which appears as a temp name such as- /tmp/phpHy3WIj so is their any way of auto detecting thje mime type of a file from simply the 'file' inpuit box on the form or at any other stgae-- or does the user have to declare the type of file they are sending?

RE: [PHP] Using @file
Good day, While I am sure most of the readers of the list are finding this conversation amusing, I will still try to explain this a bit better to you. DNS, or Domain Name Service, is the protocol which translates names into IP addresses. If you supply a computer with a name, it must use DNS (or NetBIOS, or a hosts file, etc.) in order to determine what an IP address is from a name. If you have not correctly configured your machine to use DNS, then your computer will not be able to find the server you are asking it to. The error message you have supplied indicates that this is the problem. From a command prompt on the server you are trying to run this on, try to ping the server you are trying to reach by name (e.g. ping www.myserver.com . If you can not reach the server, then this is the reason. If this is the case, please contact the administrator of your machine/network to correct this problem and take this discussion off the PHP list.

[PHP] Template class
(just in case any of the people on PEAR-DEV will read this at all,
since everyone must be tired of the template class debates :-) )
i just wanted to say what i had to write, because i didnt see any of
the existing template classes/engines provide me with that
the main features are:
# compiling template class which (almost) only replaces '{' by ?php
and '}' by ?, with pre and post filters
# uses indention to create the '{' and '}' for php-code inside the
template, so clean code is a requirement and no closing tags like:
{/if} are needed
# leaves all the power of php to you, not only the functionality the
template engine implements
# nothing to learn, just use '{' and '}' instead of the php-tags in
your template and indent your code properly
# the seperation of source and representation is all up to the
programmer (either this is good or bad)
# provides some default filter
a possible template
-
{if(sizeof($disadvantages))}
{foreach($disadvantages as $aDisadvantage)}
li{$aDisadvantage}/li
{else}

-
the compiled code is nothing more than this
-
?php if(sizeof($disadvantages)) { ?
?php foreach($disadvantages as $aDisadvantage) { ?
li?=$aDisadvantage?/li
?php } } else { ?
no disadvantages registered yet :-)
?php } ?
-
so you can see - easy to use, nothing to learn and should be fast :-)
feel free to have a look at

[PHP] @file problems w/ remote files
Hi, This is regarding the same problem that Jeff posted earlier (yes, the exast same problem - I'm working with him). He seems to have given some of you the wrong impression about the problem - he is not ignoring your posts, it's just that the posts aren't helping the problem ;) The problem is that the @ isn't suppressing the warnings properly. Our code is currently trying to pull the results of a script off a server - and if it can't, it uses the most current copy stored locally. The problem, is that while we are expecting the @ to suppress the warnings (and thereby letting us continue on to use file() on the local copy), it is instead allowing file to spit out a warning which kills the script. We are currently getting a errornum of 2, and it's spitting out fopen(filename) - Success which is exceedingly annoying. What would be perfect, is if someone knows of an alternate way to download a file from a server - if that failed, set a flag and continue processing rather than simply erroring out. Thanks for any help - sorry for the miscommunication earlier.

$today=mktime(0,0,0,strftime('%m',$timestamp),strftime('%d',$timestamp),strftime('%y',$timestamp));
$sent=mktime($yd_expl[0],$yd_expl[1],$yd_expl[2]);
if($today $sent)
{ $bgcolor=white; }
else
{ $bgcolor=lightblue; }
it returns$today: 1007971200
$sent: 100800
I want it to return a smaller number for sent on (since the sent on date is before
todays date), than it does for today

Uh, better make that

Otherwise I think you'll get { 6 } instead of { 8, 1, 1 }

Re: [PHP] How to use gd/php with no freetype?
Yes, you are out of luck without Freetype. You need to install Freetype, then build GD against that and then finally build PHP against that Freetype-enabled GD. As for your second question, the ImageTTFText() function takes the TTF font filename as an argument.

[PHP] Uploading files with FORM METHOD=POST on webhostings
Hello, first of all, thanks very much for your answer about WAP and WML
php headers. I corrected headers and page works ok now.
==
Now a question about uploading files (.gif .jpg) using form
method=post to be stored into Mysql blob fields.
I hope somebody here having sites on www.blueboxinternet.com hosting
company, because I have big trouble there I can't solve, and support
says I first shoud read faq because they have lot of customers with no
problems.
I make industrial and commercial catalogs, so my customers should be
able to send (upload) pictures of products and goodies directly from
their HD to site, these pictures stored in Mysql tables and shown when
customer pages are called by someone.
The only way I know to perform this is
html
Form actionmyscript.php method=POST Enctype=MULTIPART/FORM-DATA
Enter filename input type=file name=myfile
Input type=submit name=upload value=send
/form
?PHP
if($upload)
{
$fp=Fopen ($myfile,r);
/* here lot of commands to store file into mysql tables */
...
}
?
/html
This script will store picture-file into some tmp directory on bluebox
servers and will return tmp file name into $myfile var when script
called again by 'form action' command. Then I can treat file and store
in DB.
This script worked fine on bluebox servers until NOVEMBER 1st ,
when they made some important changes on their servers. When this change
happened, my script began to receive this error:
Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory
in
/home/httpd/vhosts/meucatalogo.com/web_users/gratis/rest_prox.php on
line 25
Bluebox support says I am recording my files on tmp directory with owner
'someowner' and trying to read file with 'anotherowner' owner.
I argue I have no control about owners and file modes into their servers
(specially into their tmp directories), and that PHP performs this task
in a transparent way for me. Thats to say, I have no tools to bypass
this problem.
Then they answer I shoud read faq.
Case some of you have site using this (otherwise excellent web hosting)
company, I would greatly appreciate what solution for upload files thru
HTML forms there exists.
Thanks very much
Miguel

[PHP] Encrypted pages/email with PHP?
(posting again because it looks like the first one didn't go through) Hi, I've sniffed around on Google and PHPBuilder, but I can't seem to find any information on creatnig encrypted pages with PHP. Here is what I am looking for. I have a client who owns a retail store. Thus, he has a manual credit card swiper. He would like to have orders from his website listed on a special page with the customer's name, credit card number, etc. where he can go once a day and process the orders manually. I explained that he could also have the customer data sent in an encrypted email, and he is fine with that. Anyway, I'm looking for some solution that creates an encrypted page, passworded, where I can make sure that the information is not being passed down the wire in plain-text. I can't seem to find a good tutorial explaining exactly what I would need to create this. Will I need to buy a Thawte/Verisign ID just for this? (That seems unreasonable, as he would be the only one accessing the page.) How would I go about setting this up? I run my own server, so I can install programs to do this. Currently I'm running on a Cobalt RaQ (http://www.cobalt.com). Any links regarding setting this sort of site up would be helpful. Thanks, Erica P.S.

RE: [PHP] Encrypted pages/email with PHP?
Erica Can I suggest that you use PGP to send the information encrypted. There is a wonderful script which can be found here: http://www.phpuk.org/code.php We use this on various sites to encrypt sensitive information In terms of a server certificate, you will need this to protect the client from entering information into a form on the site. Server certs encrypt the traffic between the browser and the server.

Re: [PHP] Redirect + SESSION question!!!
I am almost there folks. The issue is being resolved by using the ob_start(garbage); at the begining of the login.php script, and ob_end_flush(); at the end of the login.php script (in case the authentication fails and user stays on the page), and also put ob_end_flush(); at the top of the index.php page.
