Re: [PHP] how to resort results of a query
Thanks very much for your response, Chris--it sounds like that's exactly what I need to do. I'm sorry to trouble you further, but if you have a second, can you give me some advice on how to store results in a temporary table with the columns indexed?

For a small amount of data this is fine but for large amounts there is a performance hit. Your choice as to the balance with the amount of data you have. Where I have a lot of data, extracted from a very large amount of data, I store my results in a new, temporary, table that has each field indexed. I make the column headings on my html page into links that extract the data from the temporary table, ordered by that column.

Subject: [PHP] Re: Problem With ora_do
I'm having a weird problem with ora_do. It works fine as long as I don't
have a WHERE clause in the query. For example:
select * from table_name
works just fine but
select * from table_name where col_name = value
returns nothing.
However, if I use ora_open, ora_parse and ora_exec everything works fine.
I'm running on Compaq Tru64 ver 5.1. I compiled PHP with gcc 3.1. I'm not
getting any errors or warnings and nothing is being logged in the Apache
logs. I guess it's not a big deal since I have been able to work around it,
but it would be nice to know what the problem is.
Show us real source code...
Nothing in what you say seems 'wrong', but who knows?
Wild Guesses:
You're not seeing any errors because you're not *ASKING* to see any errors.
You have to specifically request error messages to be displayed or logged
somewhere.
You are doing something like:
$x = 2;
$query = select * from table_name where col_name = x;
And, oddly enough, there are none with 'x' even though there are lots with
2...
So, there's no problem with the query, it's just not the query you intended.
Try printing out your query, and paste it into the Oracle command-line
thingie (sql-dba?)

[PHP] PHP Automatic Backup
Hi all. I was reading the post by Pag called MySQL backups and I have the same question, but not the shell access. It came to my mind, that if will be very useful for me, and probably for many of us newbies, to be able to build an automated PHP system that could make backups by itself at a specified time lets say maybe every morning at 6 am, by transferring or uploading the MySQL files to another server. I noticed that this could be done in PHPNuke, by clicking at Backup Files. ¿Is it possible to build this kind of unattended scripts with PHP or will it always require a magical click from the administrator? I guess that it shouldnt be possible, but its worth a shot. Thanks in advance, Cesar Aracena mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] CE / MCSE+I Neuquen, Argentina +54.299.6356688 +54.299.4466621

[PHP] $_SESSION troubles
Hello hello,
I have this strange thing with a sort of login procedure (still working it
out, but it will work eventually)
On the first page, you log in (username + password)
Then we come to 'login.php' where I have this header
1 ?php
2 session_start();
3 $loginname=$_POST[loginname];
4 $loginpw=$_POST[loginpw];
5 session_register('loginname');
6 session_register('loginpw');
7 ?
This works, I can use $loginname and $loginpw
Somewhere on that page I have added a few buttons, and one of those buttons
is functional (the others have to be written yet)
But here I have this header:
1 ?php
2 session_start();
3 $loginname=$_SESSION['loginname'];
4 $loginpw=$_SESSION['loginpw'];
5 /*session_register('loginname');
6 session_register('loginpw'); -- commented out, it did not
add something seemingly */
7 ?
The strange thing is that if I do (hey, it's just for testing what's
happening):
print(loginname = $loginnamebr\n);
print(loginpw=$loginpwbr\n);
both loginname and loginpw contain the same information, which is the true
information of $loginpw
what am I doing wrong here?

Then they press SUBMIT, now on FORM B, I want them to fill out their payment information. Now, I notice that when I go to web sites and fill out payment information, I see the little lock icon at the bottom of my browser, and the https://yadadada in the URL field... however, I'm unclear about something... If I call FORM B with HTTPS will my blank FORM B transmit to the user encrypted, and will I have to call HTTPS again for my PHP CC Processing App? In other words, what's taking place when I call a form or page with HTTPS? Is it that the data only gets encrypted on a SUBMIT ? Dunno if my question makes much sense .. but I guess I'd like to know if it's even required for me to call FORM B in a secure state (for the users CC data to be SENT encrypted), but instead just call the process attached to the FORM (submit button) on FORM B in HTTPS ??

[PHP] Re: opening pdf file in new window with a POST operation
form action=https://my.server/reports.php; method=post target=_blank input type=submit value='Show PDF' /form form action=https://my.server/reports.php; method=get target=_blank input type=submit value='Show PDF' /form These forms are identical with the exception of the post/get methods. A PDF file is being dynamically generated and displayed in a pop-up. The GET method form works fine, while the POST method (which is what I need to use) pops up a message about the page containing both secure and nonsecure data. WTF? Well, the new browser window opens, but you're loading a PDF, not HTML, so it's not really getting any data at all. The data it's not getting isn't secure, by definition, since there's nothing there. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the PDF file is being transmitted securely, as you want it to be, and that's being opened in whatever application/plug-in I told my browser to use for PDF files. I dunno about most folks, but my PDF files always fire up in a new Application anyway, much less a new window. While I realize some people have that funky plug-in crap going on, and will see their PDF trapped inside a browser window, you're probably best off not doing the target=_blank part. That will take care of the stupid warning, since there is no blank window opening up to get the empty insecure HTML document you're not sending out. :-) It *IS* pretty stupid of the browser to complain about the non-secure non-data, but it's not PHP. You'll have to talk to your browser manufacturer about that one. YMMV. Disclaimer: This above is simply my rationalization of the browser behaviour described (and which I've experienced).

[PHP] Re: adding a variable to a variable name
I'm wondering if this can be done, and if so, what's the proper way to do
it.
It can be done, and the proper way to do it is to use an array :-)
But, if you are hell-bent on using variable variables you should really
read the PHP documentation about them:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php
However, you'll save yourself a *LOT* of headaches to just use arrays.
Promise.
For the current issue I'm trying to unset some variables with common names
and I would like to step through them with a loop. Here's where I'm at to
give you an idea but the code doesn't work.
for ($i = 2; $i = 4; $i++) {
unset($level$iName);
unset($level$iUrl);
}
so the code unsets
unset($level2Name);
unset($level2Url);
unset($level3Name);
unset($level3Url);
unset($level4Name);
unset($level4Url);
I guess I could create a variable before the unset like so
$unsetA = level . $i . Name;
but that seems cloogey.
Thanks,
Tom

I think so. It would slow parsing down to a crawl and create a host of

compared against the list of defined constants (after all, you might have
a constant called 'a'). With normal variables, it only has to worry about
it when there's a $ before it or {} around it, which is much simpler.

Yeah,
you are right about that!
But since you have to take the constant out of the string (with {} or . .)
it shouldn't be a problem to use constants.

Re: [PHP] How to pass unknown number of variables to a function?
Thank's for the help everybody!
I used something different (a little like this nice one from Terence (thank
you!) but with JS:
I named my form 'test' and included a hidden field 'collector'.
At the checkboxes the name is the value I need. The box, when checked, gets
the value 1.
In the boxtags I added:
onclick=add_values($name)
where name is the value I want.
Then I wrote this little script:
$js = script type=text/javascript
function add_values(val) {
document.test.'collector'.value += val;
document.test.'collector'.value += \,\;
}
/script;
It produces a comma separated list in the field 'collector' whith only the
checked values.
When sending the form, only this field is transmitted. This is just what I
wanted and it works fine.

Re: [PHP] how to resort results of a query
Matthew, Apologies to others that this is now quite OT, let's make this the last of this thread. If I may suggest that this is now about pure sql techniques and nothing to do with php. What I did was to create a table (not temporary as it happens) with fields containing all the fields that you want to display e.g.: CREATE TABLE searchdata ( username varchar(30), course varchar2(80), discipline varchar2(40), college varchar2(60)); CREATE INDEX course ON searchdata (username, course); CREATE INDEX discipline ON searchdata (username, discipline); CREATE INDEX college ON searchdata (username, college); The username field is either the name the user is logged in as or some unique identifier you give to that user. When you get the main sql statement, copy all the fields into searchdata. When you display the fields on your form, make each of the headings of the table you display the data in a url to this same form but with an orderby parameter. So e.g. the course column title is a url ending in orderby=course. Now when the form is called with the orderby parameter, instead of getting the data from the main table, get it from searchdata with an sql statement which includes the relevant order by clause. You need to arrange for the data to be deleted when it is finished with, I leave that to you, each case will differ. I do not claim that this is the best way, but it is the way I used. Hope it helps. Chris Matthew K. Gold wrote: I'm sorry to trouble you further, but if you have a second, can you give me some advice on how to store results in a temporary table with the columns indexed?

Yes, that's the way it works. Once you do a setcookie() on the server
you actually issue a sort of delayed command for the client, if you
pardon me the expression :) In short, when you print out your HTML you
also tell the client to save some data in its disk (or RAM when you use
session cookies).
This data will be presented back later to you with the next URL request.
It is NOT saved on the server, it is just a sort of automatic add-on
that you will have on all links pointing to you until the cookie
expires. It will be presented to those URLs you specify when building
the cookie (usually you will want to limit their action to some
subdirectory to avoid having back data out of context).
Sounds very nice, but... But the trouble is that in doing so you issue a
command to a machine of which you know almost nothing. Most of all, you
don't know whether it's capable of executing your order. Or willing to,
since users may disable cookies.

print(loginname = $loginnamebr\n);

I want to issue an fsockopen command to pass a POST data set to a remote
server script.
If you do a Google for posttohost and 'Rasmus Lerdorf' you'll find one
already written for you... :-)
I understand the pricipals behind fsockopen, but I cannot figure out the
string I need to pass to POST the data - I will be emulating the output
from a Form element.
You would need to read a whole lot of HTTP RFC's to be sure you have it
correct.
Fortunately, Rasmus read all of those already :-)
In addition, how do I detect a successful operation? before closing the
socket?.
Yeah, the server will send back something if it worked/failed...

Yes, that's the way it works. Once you do a setcookie() on the server
you actually issue a sort of delayed command for the client, if you
pardon me the expression :) In short, when you print out your HTML you
also tell the client to save some data in its disk (or RAM when you use
session cookies).
This data will be presented back later to you with the next URL request.
It is NOT saved on the server, it is just a sort of automatic add-on
that you will have on all links pointing to you until the cookie
expires. It will be presented to those URLs you specify when building
the cookie (usually you will want to limit their action to some
subdirectory to avoid having back data out of context).
Sounds very nice, but... But the trouble is that in doing so you issue a
command to a machine of which you know almost nothing. Most of all, you
don't know whether it's capable of executing your order. Or willing to,
since users may disable cookies.

Re: [PHP] localhost - passing variables
A guess:
Your local server has different settings then the
remote server. Specifically, the register_globals
directive.
For example, take this url:
http://www.example.com/foo.php?id=3
If register_globals = off you can get this by:
// These methods work as of PHP 4.1.0
print $_GET['id'];
print $_REQUEST['id'];
import_request_variables('gpc', 'r_');
print $r_id;
// This works as of PHP 3
print $HTTP_GET_VARS['id'];
If register_globals = on, an additional method exists.
// Works if register_globals = on
print $id;
It's preferred to not rely on register_globals = on. In
fact, this directive is deprecated and may not work one
day. As of PHP 4.2.0 this defaults to off in php.ini.

Re: [PHP] ./configure with register_globals turned on?
So putting the line: register_globals = on In your php.ini file (path to it specified in your phpinfo() output) didn't work? Check the following: 1. Are you sure there isn't a second register_globals = off entry somewhere in that file? 2. Does the web server have read access to the directory and the php.ini file itself? 3.

Re: [PHP] HTTPS vs. HTTP ?
If I could elaborate on colin's explanation Mainly so that there is a fairly recent one of these in the archives (not that anybody searches them :-) Like miguel said encryption in an HTTP request/response pair is determined by your browser. if the browser is making a request, and it sees an https:// at the beginning of the request URL, it will : 1. get the domain's public key from a public key server 2. encrypt the whole request with the domain's public key 3. submit it to the web server. If the web server sees that this is an encrypted request, it will : 1. decrypt the request with it's private key 2. process it and generate a response (usually in the form of html) 3. encrypt the response with it's private key 4. send it back to the browser When the browser gets the response, it: 1. decrypts it with the public key 2. displays the html to the client user 3. ***shows a lock icon at the bottom of the browser Now, one of the things that many people are confused about is that they think there must be a lock icon at the bottom of the browser when they are entering sensitive info (like credit card numbers). Nope. The only important thing is that the form which takes the sensitive data SUBMITS to an https:// URL. Because (as above) it will encrypt the request (which includes the sensitive data) BEFORE it submits it over the internet. But most people don't know how to check that a form submits to an to an https:// URL. So, the standard practice is to have the page containing the form which takes the sensitive data ALSO be an https:// URL, so that the lock icon is already there when the client user is entering that oh-so-prized sensitive data, even though there's nothing really to protect in that HTTP request/response pair. PHP is, in a way, completely separate from the HTTP/HTTPS layer. When PHP is started up by the web server, regardless of the encryption (or lack thereof) of the original request, PHP gets the non-encrypted (or already decrypted) request. When it sends its response output to the webserver to be sent to the client, it sends that output unencrypted. It's completely up to the web server to either encrypt the response, then send it out, or to just send it with no modification. I hope that helps your understanding of what's going on with all this HTTP/HTTPS stuff. I also hope that i've been clear about it. It's kind of easy to get lost in terms.

We have public key servers? Around these parts the client and server use a self-contained process to handle the key exchange.

I am new to this and am not sure how to go about this. When I upload to a server, the script I have works just fine; but when I work on it locally, it does not work. Please help while I am still technically sane. Thanks. :oP Can you explain a little better what you're trying to do and what the symptoms you're observing are? miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] How Do Y'all Secure your Sites... (Cookies vs. IP Number)...
Well, the website use both port 80 and port 443. The public access the website freely, so blocking them is not an option beside they don't know the true IP address behind the firewall for them to access the administration website. We don't have Intranet for the administration website to be used. Miguel Cruz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

I think so. It would slow parsing down to a crawl and create a host of
ambiguities if every letter that ever appeared in a string had to be
compared against the list of defined constants (after all, you might
have a constant called 'a'). With normal variables, it only has to
worry about it when there's a $ before it or {} around it, which is
much simpler.
you are right about that!
But since you have to take the constant out of the string (with {} or . .)
it shouldn't be a problem to use constants.
Correct?
Correct.

Pretty fair bet it's a per-server basis. Thanks, miguel. That would be my guess, too. If both of us guessed the same thing, then we must be right. Right?!? ;) Sounds good to me.

Re: [PHP] HTTPS vs. HTTP ?
Ah, miguel good to have you back. I missed your lovingly superior painstaking attention to detail :-) jerome From: Miguel Cruz [EMAIL PROTECTED] if the browser is making a request, and it sees an https:// at the beginning of the request URL, it will : 1. get the domain's public key from a public key server 2. encrypt the whole request with the domain's public key 3. submit it to the web server. We have public key servers? Around these parts the client and server use a self-contained process to handle the key exchange. The server's key has been signed by a certificate authority (Verisign, etc.) whose public key is already stored in the browser... or not, in which case the client alerts the user and generally continues nevertheless. If the web server sees that this is an encrypted request, it will : 1. decrypt the request with it's private key 2. process it and generate a response (usually in the form of html) 3. encrypt the response with it's private key 4. send it back to the browser Sort of. The server's key is used to encrypt the exchange of a new key which lasts only for the lifetime of the transaction. This ephemeral key is what's used to encrypt the actual data. But this nuance is probably not very important to understanding the practical issues of working with PHP and HTTPs. Now, one of the things that many people are confused about is that they think there must be a lock icon at the bottom of the browser when they are entering sensitive info (like credit card numbers). Nope. The only important thing is that the form which takes the sensitive data SUBMITS to an https:// URL. Because (as above) it will encrypt the request (which includes the sensitive data) BEFORE it submits it over the internet. But most people don't know how to check that a form submits to an to an https:// URL. Yup. You'd think that the browser developers would come up with a way to indicate this (mouse pointer turning to a lock when hovering over a submit button, etc.). miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php _ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
