[PHP] Re: index.php question

2002-03-17 Thread LaserJetter

Try adding a slash to the end of the URL i.e. www.whatever.com/~jondoe/ and
see if that helps.
Maybe Apache tries to parse your PHP file as if it is an HTML file.

 Hi all, I'm new to the mailing list, I hope I'm in the right spot.
 I have installed php, and .php files work fine, unless they are my index
 file. For example http://whatever.com/~jondoe/info.php will work. But if I
 make a index.php file and go to http://whatever.com/~jondoe it wont work.
 I can view the source and see my php code, which I know means the server
 isn't translating it. I'm running RH LINUX, and running apache webserver.
 I have checked the httpd.conf file and the load modules lines are in
 there, and they are correct??(I THINK)
 Any help would be appreciated.
 Thank You.

Its probably a problem with your mail server software not being able to send

 Hello,

 I hope maybe you can help me with this problem... I've been working with
 PHP/mySQL for about 6 months now, this is causing quite a headache!

 When I try to send confirmation email (from a form the user fills out) -
it
 works fine when sending within the company network but fails when sending
to
 other emails (like hotmail accounts).

 Any suggestions?

 I have full rights to the php.ini file on our server, I've tried editing
the
 send_mail path, nothing seems to work! The server is running on a Solaris
 5.8 machine - I'm assuming Apache server.

 $email, $first, $last are pulled from a submitted form (using POST).

 $welcome is a standard message used in several places - easier to change
one
 file when changes are required.

 $toaddressSent = $email;
 $subjectSent = $first $last, Your Request Has Been Received;
 $contentSent = $welcome;


 mail($toaddressSent, $subjectSent, $contentSent, $additionalSent);


 Thanks!
 Brian

 Another way of doing it is thru an e-mail to sms gateway; free or paid.
 That way you could make a simple form and use mail();

 One very cheeky way of doing this would be to sign up to one of the free

 SMS services on the web (such as lycos mobile) and set up a PHP script
 that can pretend to be a browser, log in to your account and post a
 message to the send SMS form. You could do this using something along
 the lines of CURL or Snoopy (I recommend  Snoopy as it doesn't require
 anything to be installed on your web server):

 http://snoopy.sourceforge.net/

 You would have to figure out how the authentication scheme for your
 chosen web-based SMS service works (most of them use cookies). The main
 disadvantage is that it's a bit of a dirty hack and it would stop
 working if the free web service went down or changed the way its
 authentication / SMS form worked. Free services also tend to limit you
 to a certain number of messages a day.

 The professional alternative is to invest in some kind of web to SMS
 gateway, but I think that's quite an expensive option.

[PHP] Opening sockets

2002-02-24 Thread LaserJetter

I'm running GTK on Win32 and have made an app that connects to a server and
downloads some data.
I tested it over my LAN and it works fine, using both 10.0.0.1 and
gethostbyname(amd) as the host in fsockopen(host, 80, 30)
I've now tried running it over the internet, trying to connect to the server
www.lottery-machine.co.uk or gethostbyname(www.lottery-machine.co.uk) but it
won;t connect to the server. The window that displays the downloaded data
contains a webpage which is produced by the web host when there's an error
of some kind. If I type in the GET request
(www.lottery-machine.co.uk/clientlogin.php?username=mepassword=password) in
a web browser it works fine as expected.

 Hm.  I hope I'm not opening an old wound:

 Curious about the proper way to test for the existence of a variable, I
 decided to read up on isset() at php.net's function manual pages.  It
 seems at first to be a way to test whether or not a variable has been
 set.

 But reading the annotations below the documentation is mind boggling.
 Back and forth, it seems to go -- and then to find out that one method
 is to be used to test for POSTed variables, and another to be used for
 GETted variables (for $_POST, use $_POST['var'] !='' , and for $_GET,
 use !isset($_GET['var'])).

 Pretty confusing.  Can anyone shed some light on whether or not there is
 a final definite way to do this?  I've used (!($_POST['var'])) with no
 problems in the past, but does good coding style suggest that I use
 (!isset($_POST['var'])) now?

[PHP] Re: IP based redirection

2002-02-02 Thread LaserJetter

Don't worry, I'll post back to yourmessage with something relevant!

I would recommend redirecting according to what language the user has
selected in their browser as an IP address can be unreliable e.g. someone in
India could be using an IP address which is registered to an English
speaking company.
If you only wanted to allow certain users access to certain pages (those
using IP addresses which you know are from an Indian ISP) then this method
would be ok. You can read the $REMOTE_ADDR or $X_FORWARDED_FOR variables
from any PHP page usually and this will give you the IP of the user.

If your site is running on Apache web server, it has a built in language
selection 'service' which loads a page with a different file extension
depending on the language chosen by the user. If the user had [en-gb]
selected (english - uk) as their first language and a request is sent for
index.htm, Apache will produce index.htm.en instead but it will appear to
the user as index.htm (this might only work though if you request index.htm
by typing http://www.youraddress.com/). Similarly, if the user had [in]
selected for Indian Apache would produce index.htm.in
You have to enable this in httpd.conf and there's more infor in the Apache
docs I think.

 Try:

 echo printf(%.1f,cos(0.5*pi()));

can you not print the charset inside one of the HTML tags? (DOCTYPE it

Also, if you dont want to keep typing out

 Hi everybody!


 I'm a bit lost. The original problem was (and still is) to get the Euro
 symbol from a iso-8859-15 string into the HTML code output by a PHP-script
 (4.0.6 by the way).

 At first it worked fine using htmlentities(¤,ENT_QUOTES,iso-8859-15).
 However, this is a bit long, I would have plenty of htmlentities() to fix,
 and since -15 should be the considered the current standard rather than
 the outdated -1 it replaced, I wanted to figure out how to tell PHP and
 its htmlentities() which character set to use as default.

 First question:
 Where's the configuration for that? mbstring.* ini php.ini doesn't seem
 to be the right place (and I didn't expect it anyway).


 So, after learning that mbstring.* doesn't work I removed these from
 php.ini and now the extended htmlentities() doesn't work anymore. The
 line

   echo htmlentities(¤,ENT_QUOTES,iso-8859-15);

 results in a Wrong parameter count for htmlentities()-warning. Oops?

 Second question:
 What's wrong now? I'm sure it worked earlier and I can't see that this
 line is wrong anyway. htmlentities() expects upto three arguments, there
 are three.


 And, not related to a problem, the third question:
 Did anybody yet consider setting iso-8859-15 as default charset throughout
 PHP instead of iso-8859-1?

Re: [PHP] emulate a browser

2002-01-24 Thread LaserJetter

If it is frame forwarded, you would get a 300 OK status becuase you have
accessed a web page and it has been server OK. The webpage (which contains
the FRAMESET tags) then send a request to another server to get the page
to be redirected to.
The only way to check for this would be to see if the page you have sent the
request for contains the FRAMESET tags (use GET instead of HEAD) but this
would be unreliable as a lot of websites start with a frame based page
anyway.

  You can use fsockopen() to open a socket connection to a remote host

  means there is something listening on port 80 on the host (99% it will
 be a

  You could then use fputs() to send a request to the server, such as:

  Normally browsers use GET instead of HEAD, but in your case you are
 only
  interested in the servers response (the HTTP headers) and not the
 actual
  file/page itself.
 
  You could then use fgets() to read the response sent back from the

  and parse it to get the information you wanted (for example, look for
 a

[PHP] Re: php login scripts

2002-01-21 Thread LaserJetter

Depending on how secure the login information needs to be, you could just
store it in a text file, maybe using password() to encrypt passwords. You
could then access it using fopen() and save the contents of the file in an
array.

I'm not too hot on login and authentication though myself! I did get it
working, there was a useful example in the PHP manual.

Forget that last post - sorry!!!

Instead of using password('$password') in the query string, I would insert a
line before connecting to the DB:

$newpass = password($password)-- dont need quotes round here

then

$query = SELECT username,password FROM users WHERE username=$username AND
password=$newpass;

As $username and $newpass are already inside double quotes you dont need to
put them in again!!

[PHP] WAP

2002-01-17 Thread LaserJetter

I was fiddling around with the Nokia WAP toolkit the other day and I've
created a pretty little WAP site - just listing dates and it has a WBMP
image as a welcome screen.

Whilst looking for someone to host the site, I noticed a review for  f2s
which said allows PHP to be combined with WML That would be a pretty neat
thing to do - I could have a PHP script automatically port every page to WML
and WBMP images.

The problem is, how do you include PHP in a WML file?  Do you have to use
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=php/SCRIPT in a .wml file or can you use .php files?
(I can't just fidddle about because I don't have a WAP phone yet!)

Also, and I know this isn't really anything to do with PHP, what are the
dimensions in pixels of a typical WAP phone screen?
I checked my site using the emulator in the Nokia Toolkit and the one at
TagTag.com and my WBMP image fitted nicely in the middle of the screen. But
when my girlfriend showed it me on her phone, only about a third of the
image fitted on!!   Making the image smaller wouldn't be a problem but I
dont really know what size to make it.
Any directions to some useful info would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [PHP] Search Engine

2002-01-16 Thread LaserJetter

If I wanted to do a search engine for the web (and maybe for just a site) I
would set up a MySQL database and have a record for each site which is
included in the index. There would be fields for URL, Page title, Keywords
and maybe description / text extract from the URL.
It would be quite a simple solution and I'm not sure about performance.
It would be quite easy to add /modify/delete records as well using this
method

 I don't think PHP is really a very good language for a genuine www
 search engine. (although it works very well on site-wide basis)
 I'm sure more knowledgeable people than I can make some alternative
 suggestions but I'm certain that PHP won't be the best tool
 for the job.

I would concur with what everyone else is saying. If you need a search
engine and you have system-level access on your machine, your best
bet is to set up either htdig or mnogosearch (open source search
engine packages) because they already have done the hard work of
figuring out fuzzy matching and search ranking.

http://www.htdig.org/
http://mnogosearch.org/

Alternatively, if you are using a database you can use some tricky sql
statements to search your records for the user's search query. Here's
a good tutorial that should get you started on this route:

If you send a form on an HTML page using GET then the variables show up in

With PHP 4.1.0 even if the variable is typed in the URL, PHP should only
read the real variables which were submitted if $_GET[$varname] is used (or
whatever it is!)
I have no idea how to combine PHP and Perl - not something I've done.

If the PHP script timed out the computer came back to like but if i closed

Also, apart from my coding being rubbish and causing lots of errors, does
anyone know of any reason why an error log file would grow to such a huge
size? The page has onle been accessed a few times and I can't think of any
way a single page could create 1Mb of error text on each hit.

Re: [PHP] WebServer

2001-12-29 Thread LaserJetter

AOL UK say their ADSL service isnt good for hosting because it is
asymmetrical: you can download data faster than you can send it out which is
fine for surfing the net but not so useful for running a server.(I just
think AOL dont want people hosting servers using their service though!)
We have a PHP webserver at school: It doesnt get heavy useage but we run
VNC, a chat server, ftp server, MySQL and Apache/PHP on Win98 and dont have
any problems with performance!

 Ricardo,
   I'd bet that behind a 256kbps connection you'll run out of bandwidth
 long before you run out of CPU, memory, or disk on any machine that
 costs more than about $500USD - but your mileage may vary depending on
 your application.  My personal experience is that behind my DSL
 connection, I run out of bandwidth far before I run out of CPU and
 memory on my PII 233 that's running a reasonably complex web app with
 heavy DB usage.

[PHP] Re: 4.10 New Vars Question

2001-12-26 Thread LaserJetter

There's some info in the release notes for 4.1.0


Edward Marczak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
 Hello!

 Two items in the new 4.10 change-log caught my attention:

 *Introduced a new $_REQUEST array, which includes any GET, POST or
 COOKIE variables. Like the other new variables, this variable is also
 available regardless of the context. (Andi  Zeev)
 *Introduced $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_SERVER and $_ENV variables,
which
 deprecate the old $HTTP_*_VARS arrays. In addition to be much shorter to
 type - these variables are also available regardless of the scope, and
 there's no need to import them using the 'global' statement. (Andi  Zeev)

 However, I can't seem to find any documentation regarding these variables
on
 the php.net site.  Any pointers?  Am I missing something obvious?  Thanks!

[PHP] Re: phpbb and ikonboard forum scripts

2001-12-25 Thread LaserJetter

Ikonboard has a very nice interface and I know that its very popular but, as
you thought, it is CGI based.
I've never managed to get it working - maybe because I couldnt get Active
Perl working properly (well, it was a 25MHz 486 with 8Mb RAM!!).
If you're more into PHP I'd go with phpbb as you'd find it easier to tinker
around with to get it looking how you wanted.

 Hello,

 I am trying to decide between these two scripts and was wondering if
anyone has either of them
 installed. The one thing I need that I can't figure out if either of them
have is whether or not, I
 can hide categories (that contain the forums and topics) on the category
page and based on a users
 log-in have them enabled. If that is not possible is it possible to create
2 category pages and
 store them in one database, (hosting company only allows one instance of a
forum script to be
 installed) one for the forums that everyone that comes to my site can see
and another category page
 that will actually only be available in the restricted members only page.

 If it helps, here are the links
 http://www.phpbb.com and http://www.ikonboard.com

 I think I prefer the phpbb forum because ikonboard uses cgi scripts, or it
least that's what it
 looks like.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks
 Indera

Re: [PHP] Client side fatal PHP error

2001-12-25 Thread LaserJetter

Is there a utility out there that checks for typos, like a spell check but
for code? They are the most annoying things ever and probably the hardest of
errors to find in scrips.
Something simple, even command line would be handy.

Also, its interesting that only one user of the script got the error. What
about all the others? Are they not as considerate as this one guy who
actually reported the problem?

I found that 4.1.0 is not exactly backwards compatible r.e. the new more

under Apache 1.3.20 on Win98.

[PHP] Site running from MySQL

2001-12-24 Thread LaserJetter

Out of interest, would it be possible to load a webpage as a record in a
MySQL database, having another field as say a number or a unique name so
that a whole site could be placed in a database with a couple of php files?
Is there a limit on the size of a field in MySQL which would stop you doing
this though and would it be noticeably slower that html / php files?
I was only wondering as it would make full text searches an awful lot
simpler

[PHP] dns

2001-12-19 Thread LaserJetter

Is there a way to set up a php page to act as a name server under windows? I
dont have named etc on that OS.
I was thinking of maybe having PHP read from the port used for DNS services
and recording the MAC address of the machine in a dateabse for example and
linking this to a name  i.e. server.mydomain
It would need to work on the Windows platform and be compatible with
whaterver Windows uses for DNS stuff.
The process would be as follows:

1: client tries to access server.mydomain in a browser window
2: a request is sent to the server asking it to find the IP address of the
machine called server.mydomain
3: this IP address is then sent back to the client and connecting it to say
192.168.1.9

Do you think this could be done?

[PHP] Re: installing php on apache

2001-12-17 Thread LaserJetter

You need to add lines to the httpd.conf file and maybe edit the php.ini
file. On windows, the instructions for doing this are in install.txt which
is found in the directory in which PHP was installed.
If doing this doesnt help (make sure you restart apache!), I'm not sure what
to do as my Linux experience is limited!

[PHP] http message

Is there a way for PHP to attempt to open a URL and return the HTTP response
header?
For example, I want to make a PHP page which will redirect a visitor to a
mirror site if it encounters a 404 Not found error whilst trying to open the
website homepage. This test page will reside on a seperate server.
I was thinking maybe attempting to open the homepage with something like
fopen() and, using nested if() statements, try the next mirror in the list
if the fopen() command didnt succeed.
Any ideas?

It couldnt open ./common_db.inc which you referenced in an include()

Its a bit like the PHP version of the 404 not found message. Check the path

make sure the mysql daemon is running (not sure how to do this)
see if you can connect using the MySQL client (not PHP). If you can then
MySQL is running ok

It sounds like the mysql exetension is damaged of missing. Check its in the
