What I beg to differ here. If the x bit isn't set on a directory, that will prevent scanning of the directory; in this case apache will be prevented from scanning the directory and will return a 403. It's possible that this is an SELinux issue, which adds an extra layer of permissions over files. To see what those permissions are, use the -Z flag for ls. Also, check the SELinux logs (assuming that it's running and it is causing a problem) to see if it brings up anything. It's typically found on RedHat-based distros.

What makes you so sure it's not?
It is. I promise you it is. You're not seeing it because you're not
getting an error logging in. Do it on the command line again, but use a
username that doesn't exist and you will see the host it's adding in the
error message.
Indeed you are correct:

--port=8904 --user=fakeuser --password=somepassword
Password:
Warning: Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user
'fakeuser'@'ip70-162-142-180.ph.ph.cox.net' (using password: YES)
iMac-333:~ glob$
I am doing exactly as you stated:
mysql_connect('localhost', $_POST['username'], $_POST['password']);
Except that I am first storing $_POST['username'] in local $user and
$_POST['password'] in local $pass first and then passing those to
mysql_connect. And I am connecting to a remote server, not localhost.
Side note: why are you putting them in other variables first when you're
only going to use them in that one place? It's a waste of memory. It's a
minor niggle but it's a pet hate of mine.
I am using them in other places - printing them on the response page to
see their values/show the user who logged in, etc.
I have already documented both the exact HTML and PHP code in this
thread and so see no need to post it elsewhere.
And you're saying that when, instead of using $_POST variables you
hard-code the username and password in the script it work? I doubt it.
I can assure you it does. However, I may have found the problem: the
port. As a security measure the BaaS provider appears to have changed
MySQL to a non-standard port. So
On the command line:
sudo mysql --host=instance43490.db.xeround.com --port=8904
--user=realuser --password=realpass
WORKS perfectly - entering the MySQL Monitor.
However, on the same host, same command line:
sudo mysql --host=instance43490.db.xeround.com:8904 --user=realuser
--password=realpass
Does NOT work - returning an error that the host is not found.
So it appears to be the port, which begs the obvious question: is there
a way to tell mysql_connect() to use a different port?
Yes - please see the documentation page for mysql_connect, in particular the
Server parameters part.
SNIP
I assume you have taken notice of the warnings in the documentation about
deprecation of the mysql_ functions in favour of mysqli_ or PDO.

I am having a PDO mysql connection issue I cant explain.
On server server1.mydomain.com
I have a test script
?php
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=171.16.23.44;dbname=test', 'user','password');
?
171.16.23.44 is by an A record called server2.mydoamin.com they are 2
different servers.
This script returns an error:
ERROR: Access denied for user 'user'@'server1.mydomain.com' (using
password: YES)
I find this ODD because that is not the server i am connecting TO but
FROM. Why would the PDO connection be referring back to its own localhost
instead of the intended domain.
I have tried this by fully qualified domain name, same thing.
I have ensured the route does exist on the connecting server.
I have ensured there is no local reference to the domain name/IP back to
its self.
I log into 171.16.23.44 and there is NO record of the failed attempt.
I validate the user has remote access rights.
I validate there is not a firewall rule blocking the host/port/you name
it. I telnet from the server to the destination via port 3306 it connects.
BTW (171.16.23.44) IS FAKE I AM USING THE IP AS AN EXAMPLE HERE.
Any clue as to WHY the host parameter is not setting or is it setting and
something else is wrong?
You are attempting a connection by u...@server1.mydomain.com
This request is made to the mysql server on host server2.mydomain.com which
responds with the error that access is denied for the user named 'user' on
host server1.mydomain.com
The most likely problem is that on server2.mydomain.com you do not have
mysql privileges for u...@server1.mydomain.com

Tim Dunphy wrote:
Hello list,
I was just wondering if I could get some opinions on a snippet of
code which breaks a php web page.
First the working code which is basically an html form being echoed by
php:
if ($output_form) {
echo 'br /br /form action=sendemail.php method=post
label for=subjectSubject of email:/labelbr /
input id=subject name=subject type=text size=30 /br /
label for=elvismailBody of email:/labelbr /
textarea id=elvismail name=elvismail rows=8
cols=40/textareabr /
input type=submit name=Submit value=Submit /
/form';
}
However if I change the form action to this, it breaks the page
resulting in a white screen of death:
if ($output_form) {
echo 'br /br /form action=?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?
method=post
label for=subjectSubject of email:/labelbr /
input id=subject name=subject type=text size=30 /br /
label for=elvismailBody of email:/labelbr /
textarea id=elvismail name=elvismail rows=8
cols=40/textareabr /
input type=submit name=Submit value=Submit /
/form';
}
Reverting the one line to this:
echo 'br /br /form action=sendemail.php method=post
gets it working again. Now I don't know if it's an unbalanced quote
mark or what's going on. But I'd appreciate any advice you may have.
Best,
tim
If you check your apache log you'll probably see an error message. But the
problem seems to be that your string you are trying to echo is enclosed in
single quotes, and contains a string in ?php tags. Try something like
echo 'br /br /form action=' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '
method=post ...etc
Cheers

Hi, I'm a novice to MySQL and am currently facing the following difficulty. I'm trying to update a table with a row of data the primary key of which is an ID which I believe is an auto incrementing serial number. My first question is how to check if this is the case. If you are updating a row, you should already know the id of the record, so in your update statement you reference it in the where clause. (ie, where rec_id = $curr_rec_key) Secondly while trying to insert such a row leaving out this column mySql is inserting the row at ID 0 (the previous ID's in the table are from 1 to 9), but then will not take further inserts.

Yes it is just phone numbers... The only select that I'm running on the
entire site is related to the pagination... A simple: $sqlCount = SELECT
COUNT(*) FROM main WHERE state = '{$state}';
which limits it to everything inside the state... Unfortunately if you
look at the possibilities, it's still quite a large dataset... 89 million
:)
The rest of the query's will be much more limited to areacode, exchange,
and in some cases the full phone number... Maybe the better way to do it
would be not to count the records But set a variable with the total
count... That way I don't have to load all the data... The data amount
won't change alot... Easy enough to set a variable... Just need to see if
I can integrate that with the pagination...
Back to the drawing board! :)

Chose the Apache 2.0 and PHP 5.2 (thread-safe?) per the recommendations. Went thru all instructions step-by-step, testing all the way. Apache works - PHP doesn't. When I bring up IE and type in localhost I get the default apache page as I was told I should see. When I type localhost/test.php I get a windows dialog asking what program should run the php script. In debugging I went to a cmd windows and ran c:\php\php-cgi test.php and got the expected result from my script - so PHP works. End result - they each work separately, but php is not working under apache. As part of the docs instructions I added the following code to the apache conf file: 1 - I chose the configure apache to run php as an apache module. 2 - added LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2.dll as last one of those lines 3 - added AddType application/x-httpd-php .php as the last of those lines 4 - added PHPIniDir c:/php as the last line of the conf file.

Is it SMTP server that uses sendmail or sendmail uses an SMTP server??? Not going there if you are as fresh to the Internet as your question suggests :-) PHPMAILER doesn't need an SMTP server name? OK, I've just googled PHPMAILERHOST and see confusing a few times.

Like phpmailer or swiftmailer. Easier to configure and figure out problems with. Regards Peter Peter, that is warranted advice here. I'm a little new to PHP. I'm set up to develop Apache/PHP/MySQL on my PC uploading results to a unix server. My situation here is that I am trying to get a PHP Mailing List program running for a friend's business web site (on unix). That program has 2 options for mailing: 1) mail()/SMTP and 2) phpmailer options. Mail()/SMTP works, at least, on my PC. But I can't get either of the two emailing options to work on the UNIX server. (Whatever those mail problems are, it is mangled with odd PHP/MySQL problems on unix). I'm just 'back here' starting debugging with the mail()/SMTP option on unix and my conclusion based on feedback above (thank you) is that email IS reaching the unix SMTP server but is not being forwarded (and that's unresolved now). My mentioned SMTP server echo problem is irrelevant. Maybe they fixed it last night, or maybe I was smoking something yesterday. It IS echoing correctly. I finally figured out that part of my problem was misunderstanding a warning message caused by my not single quoting SMTP (yikes!). Or maybe I was just enraged over my lack of success all day yesterday to confirm Apache server information on the unix server (which would help me guarantee that I have the same Apache/PHP/MySQL configurations between the PC and unix servers). But today the SMTP server info IS echo'd on the unix server. From the Unix server ... Nobody seems to have mentioned it, but the SMTP info is only needed on a Win system. The following is an extract from a default php.ini file: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = m...@example.com ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: sendmail -t -i). ;sendmail_path = ; Force the addition of the specified parameters to be passed as extra parameters ; to the sendmail binary. These parameters will always replace the value of ; the 5th parameter to mail(), even in safe mode. ;mail.force_extra_parameters = mail() should be functional; if mail() is returning true then your next step in the debug process would be to check the mail logs, if they are accessible to you.

[PHP] Re: eval and HEREDOC

Hello,
I am having trouble with a part of my templating script. I'll try to
explain:
The template itself is HTML with PHP code inside it, like:
div?=strtoupper($user['name']);?/div
And I have the following code as part of the templating engine:
$template = file_get_contents($file);
$template = return TEMPLATE\n.$template.\nTEMPLATE;\n;
$template = eval($template);
The problem is that the eval() HEREDOC combination gives the following
output:
?=strtoupper(Array['time']);?
If in the HTML file (template) I use
div?=strtoupper({$user['name']});?/div
I get ?=strtoupper(username);? as an output.
I have tried closing the php tag like this:
$template = return TEMPLATE\n?.$template.\nTEMPLATE;\n;
but the extra ? only gets outputed as HTML.
This is my first post to this mailing list, so I great you all and thank
you for any kind of solution to my problem.
Thank you!
Possibly your php environment has short-tags turned off.

Aside from all the good advice already offered, if you want to accept a null
date, check what your DB does with it and whether you can set a default for
an empty date. Mysql for example can use -00-00

Alternatively you could use header() to perform a redirect to another

Alex Major wrote: Greetings all, I'm currently looking at building a web application, however I've run into an area of development I've not come across before. The web site in its basic form allows users to send cars from a point and then the car will arrive at another point. When the car is set on its way, the start time, travel duration and end time are all known and stored in a MySQL database, what I would like to happen is that an event is triggered on the server at the end time and then an e-mail is sent to the user. This should happen regardless of whether someone is browsing the website or not. I don't believe that I'll be able to solely use PHP, I have spent the afternoon trying to look at potential solutions but I have to admit I've drawn a blank. Google hasn't been helpful (64 pages so far), as any searches related to event handling bring up a load of JavaScript tutorials/help for 'onclick' events etc. I have searched through the PHP documentation and found libevent (http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.libevent.php ), I don't believe that is what I require (although in all honesty the lack of documentation on it means I'm quite in the dark as to its purpose). Another potential candidate I came across was a PHP/Java bridge (http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/ ), whereby I could use the java virtual machine, register events with it and then callback PHP scripts, although this seems extremely long winded. I was hoping that someone might have some experience with this kind of issue and could point me in the right direction. I'm sure I've missed something right in front of me. Alex. I think what you want is something to trigger a php script every $period-of-time; if your host supports it, cron is the means of executing an application at regular intervals down to a minute granularity.

Allen McCabe wrote:
I have a page on my site where I can optionaly filter by certain fields
(order by filesize or file category), but I am implementing a shopping
cart type of idea where users can submit an order.
As administrators, my coworkers and I need to be able to filter orders by
their contents. For example:
View all orders for Jack and the Beanstalk, where an order may have Jack
and the Beanstalk and other items.
I have an order table that keeps track of the order_id, the date, the
status, etc. I also have an order_lineitem table that is the contents of
the order. This has a one-to-many structure (without foreign keys because
it is mysql).
I was baffled as to how to filter the orders by the item_id that appears
in the order_lineitem table.
I just came up with this, but I'm not sure how the mysql_queries will
handle an array. Do I have to do some extensive regular expression
management here to get this to work, or will it accept an array?
?php
if (isset($_POST['showid']))
$showid = $_POST['showid'];
$subSQL = SELECT order_id FROM afy_show_lineitem WHERE show_id =
{$_POST['showid']};;
$subResult = mysql_query($subSQL);
$where = WHERE;
$extQuery = 'order_id = {$subResult}';
}
$resultOrders = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM afy_order {$where}
{$extQuery};) or die(mysql_error(Could not query the database!));
?
If $_POST['showid'] is likely to be an array, use implode to create a comma
separated string of values, then use IN to build the query.
$ids = implode(',', $_POST['showid'];
$subSQL = SELECT order_id FROM afy_show_lineitem WHERE show_id IN ($ids)
But you need also to check your logic - your query above will have two WHERE
in it and will fail miserably :-) And your call to mysql_error will
probably not help you either, as the (optional) argument should be a link
identifier, not a string of your choosing.

Can someone please help me with this?
Thanks!
I'm guessing that line 803 is
$url = http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']''.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']';
which is full of mismatched quotes :-) Try any of
$url = http://{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']};
$url = http://.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

Well, im no longer getting any errors now, but its still not working.
You can see it here: http://www.newtuts.com. When you go there, it
should say Photoshop tutorials, Flash tutorials . . .. This should be
the default page. When you click on Support, the title should become
Newtuts Help. But instead, it just says echo $title. Any more
ideas?

Forwarding to the list for the benefit of others.
As you haven't shown the code that is supposed to produce the title, we're
back to guessing again. Looking at the source of your Support page, I see
the the Title tags are empty.
If you are seeing echo $title is it possible you forgot to use php tags
around the php code?

Is there a shorter way of determining if a field contains text?
This works but I wonder if I can K.I.S.S. it? I really only need to know
if there is or is not a field containing the text specified. I don't
need to see it.
?php
// Request the text
$text = Joe of Egypt;
$sql = SELECT title FROM book WHERE title LIKE '$text';
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result) {
echo(PError performing query: .
mysql_error() . /P);
exit();

while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) {
echo(P . $row[title] . /P);
}
if ($row[title] == )
echo (Empty!)

In addition to other answers, don't forget to escape the string you are
passing to the query with mysql_real_escape_string(), otherwise your query
will have problems with some characters e.g. apostrophe.

Newbie question...
I have a search page with multi lines of search criteria:
Name
Topic
Message
Etc...
I'm hoping to get results based on what criteria I type - but I'm not
getting what I expect. I think it's just getting results where in addition
to getting search criteria I type - ALSO none of the search fields can be
blank (not what I hoped) ...
Like I type just 'c' in the name field and it shows 3 records (other
search fields filled up) ... But I have many more records with name
containing 'c'
Goal: to search for what I type in whatever search fields and not worry
about whether others are blank or not - like:
Name contains 'c'
Charles
Chuck
Chuck
Chas
Or
Name contains 'c' and topic contains 'test1'
Maybe just charles fits this criteria

I made a simple results page,
... More code here ... ( DW CS3 )
$name_list1 = -1;
if (isset($_GET['Name'])) {
$name_list1 = $_GET['Name'];
}
$top_list1 = -1;
if (isset($_GET['Topic'])) {
$top_list1 = $_GET['Topic'];
}
$mess_list1 = -1;
if (isset($_GET['Message'])) {
$mess_list1 = $_GET['Message'];
}
mysql_select_db($database_test1, $test1);
$query_list1 = sprintf(SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE Name LIKE %s and
Message LIKE %s and Topic LIKE %s ORDER BY mytable.id desc,
GetSQLValueString(% . $name_list1 . %, text),GetSQLValueString(% .
$mess_list1 . %, text),GetSQLValueString(% . $top_list1 . %,
text));
You do understand how LIKE works? You need to use wildcard characters if you
want to match other than the exact string you pass to it.
For example LIKE 'c' will only match a field that contains just 'c'
LIKE '%c' will match a field starting with 'c' and containing any number of
characters
LIKE '%c%' will match a field containing 'c' anywhere
If you are using that syntax, I'd suggest echoing your query to make sure
that it is as it should be; I'm wondering if you are actually enclosing
string values in single quotes in your query?
As for multiple selection criteria, you need to test whether the passed in
value is set or not, and only include set values in the query.
OT: sprintf syntax is so hard to read :-)

but I'm trying to use them without showing them in links...currently the

a href=Welcome.php?AdminID=?php echo $_SESSION['AdminID']; ?
target=mainFrameHome/a
I thought the whole purpose of having/using Sessions is to not have to
pass variables in url's, but if I remove the session in the link above
when I click to it, It logs me out, even though it IS holding the SESSION
(which I checked by revealing my variables) so I guess I am confused about
this bit of code, I think its saying if the SESSION is there great if not
logout... but even when I expose the variables and see that the session is
passing from page to page it keeps sending me to the logout page:
This is how it was originally written:
if (empty($_SESSION['AdminLogin']) || $_SESSION['AdminLogin'] != true){
header (Location: LogOut.php);
$_SESSION['user']=$UserName;
$_SESSION['AdminID']=$AdminID; --*I added this one originally the
script only used 'user' and 'AdminLogin'* but passed them in urls
}
Is the above part not needed since the Session is already active? Should I
be not using the header part (honestly I havent read up on that chapter
yet)
Are you using session_start()?
