[PHP] Reliability of sessions
I have a quick question for a veteren of sessions out there. We're building a shopping cart and I'm playing with the idea of keeping the checkout information such as Shipping and billing address in a session variable until I retrieve it at checkout. The checkout is a step process: Shipping info - billing info - confirmation - final. At shipping and billing the information would be stored in a session variable. To be retrieved at confirmation, etc. (cc information would be encrypted before storing in the session var.) Otherwise I could possibly create the order starting with shipping info in the database and merely pass the order number that is assigned to them. What is the opinion, are sessions reliable enough to go through the step process? -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager - New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

That's what I was wanting to avoid. That's a lot of hidden fields. Not to mention if you have to add to the first step, you need to modify all the others. Even though sessions are more handy, I still don't know what happens if cookies are disabled in the client's browser. I pass the session ID in the URL on every page so whether or not cookies are set, the session stays intact. I'm thinking that I solved my old problem and I'm going to do it in the database and pass the order number. That's probably the best way. I only have to provide for order clean-up for those that started the process and decided not to check out. -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager - New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

How do you pass session IDs via strings? Can you describe in few words
please?
Well, I know that SID is a defined constant (see session functions in the
online PHP manual) but just to be sure, I created my own functions:
function sessinfo() {
return session_name() . = . session_id();
}
function sessfield() {
echo INPUT TYPE=\HIDDEN\ NAME=\ . session_name() . \ VALUE=\ .
session_id() . \\n;
}
I use 'session_name()' rather than PHPSESSID because some webmasters may
change the PHP.ini file's definition for the session name.
Then whenever I make a URL link in my site I do
A HREF=filename.php?? echo sessinfo(); ?my link/A
Of course, the sessfield function is for passing the session ID via a form.

Re: [PHP] Reliability of sessions
I use them because 'sid' isn't always populated and, who knows, some browser may not handle cookies right and then lose a session. I do it to make sure, to be absolutely sure that it will work. On 4/4/02 5:19 PM this was written: If you made your link like this: a href=filename.php??=sid? it tacks on the name plus the session id. If cookies are enabled you will only see the session id passed through the url on the first page.. After that you wont, thus the little script I wrote so the '?' doesn¹t show up. Now if cookies arent enabled you will see the session name and id passed through the url every single time. There is absolutely no reason to use those functions since php takes care of that stuff for you. -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager - New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Searchengine friendly URLs
I found several problems with managing this. All links on the page CANNOT be
relative (i.e. HREF=filename.php/var/var/var it must be
HREF=/filename.php/var/var/var or with the full path. Otherwise your
browser will try to attach the filename to the end of the long querystring
you created. Unless someone on this list knows of a way around that.
As for a form, say the resulting form of a searchbox. If you want the form
to be a 'GET' form so people can see the querystring I created a file which
made that happen. You POST to the form with a hidden variable in there
containing the actual destination. The code is here:
?
if (isset($frmaction)) {
$qsarray = array();
//build querystring
while (list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
if ($key != frmaction) {
if (is_array($val)) {
while ($v = current($val)) {
$qsarray[] = $key . / . rawurlencode($v);
next($val);
}
} else {
$qsarray[] = $key . / . rawurlencode($val);
}
}
}
$querystring = implode(/, $qsarray);
header(Location: $frmaction/$querystring);
}
On 10/26/2001 2:37 PM this was written:
Search engines don't normally reach anything on a query string (whatever's
after a ? ). So, if you're passing variables from one page to another, you
can use a spider-friendly method by changing your URL from something like
http://host/script?var1=1var2=2 to something like http://host/script/1/2.
Then you can extract the variables through the $PATH_INFO variable.
This was discussed a while back when I posted this same question. Look
through the archives and search for subject topic Submitting variables via
/'s...

Re: [PHP] getting data from form...
Well the form has to submit to the other file. Normally with default PHP configurations it will automatically make the variables $Steak, $XYZ, and $CHIPs with the corresponding values IF the checkboxes are checked. If it's not checked nothing is set. So you can do this on the receiving page: If (!isset($Steak)) $Steak = 0; If (!isset($XYZ)) $XYZ = 0; If (!isset($CHIPs)) $CHIPs = 0; Remember that variable names are case sensative.

[PHP] Sessions just don't work on my machine. (Trying this again)
I have written here several times on this subject and in the end those who have gratiously helped me have ended up just telling me they have no clue why it doesn't work. It HAS to be my server setup but I don't know what it could be. Sessions just don't work on my machine... The heart of the problem is the session_start() function. The first time you start a session with this function it creates a new session, that's fine. The problem happens when it's run and no matter if the SSID is in a cookie or passed via a form, it will still create a new session, every single time. It will not pickup the old session. Here is the app I setup to demonstrate the problem: http://fromtheduke.com/session/ The first page initiates the session, the variable is posted to the next page, the next page should retrieve the session and display the first two variables which were registered in the session, then display the third var. You'll see the third var showsup, the first two don't. The session ID may or may not remain the same. If you manually remove the index2.php file and reload the first page, the SSID will have changed. Source of the files: index.php: ? session_start(); session_register(var1); session_register(var2); $var1 = My var 1; $var2 = My var 2; ?HTML HEAD TITLESession Page 1/TITLE /HEAD BODY BGCOLOR=#FF PHPSESSID: ? echo $PHPSESSID; ?BR Var1: ? echo $var1; ?BR Var2: ? echo $var2; ?BR FORM ACTION=index2.php METHOD=POST VAR 3: INPUT TYPE=TEXT VALUE=My Var 3 NAME=myvar3 INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=goBR /FORM /BODY /HTML -- Source of index2.php: ? session_start();// start session session_register(var3); // register var 3 session variable $var3 = $myvar3; ?HTML HEAD TITLESession Page 2/TITLE /HEAD BODY BGCOLOR=#FF PHPSESSID: ? echo $PHPSESSID; ?BR Var1: ? echo $var1; ?BR Var2: ? echo $var2; ?BR VAR3: ? echo $var3; ?BR /BODY /HTML -- I have tried session_name() to force the session ID. I was told though this function doesn't set the SSID. It gives the SSID a name or something. I have been told this is all setup correctly, yet, you can see it doesn't work. The permissions on my /tmp directory look like this: drwxrwxrwt /tmp Does this have anything to do with this? I don't know much about the permissions part of things. -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager - New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I just wanted to alert you as to why I wouldn't be responding to your questions/messages. Here is the last information I sent Tamas: I find as exepcted, it's creating a new PHPSESSID every time I post to the index2.php As I mentioned in the first e-mail, it ust creates a new session. But this is something I find interesting. I start the session for the first time, it regsiters var1 and var2. Then I post to the next page, the PHPSESSID values are posted perfectly fine but on the server a new session with a different vale is created with var3 in it. Then I will reload the first page again by erasing index2.php and hitting enter and it will display a new sess id number and show the first page, as normal but that sessid number is equal t the new session created on the server and the value of it is: var3; var1; var2 This is stranger than strange. -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager - New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Sessions just don't work on my machine. (Trying this again)
Yeah, I think it's my server setup, or something I have going on on my server because others have said that it works fine for them but not on my machine. I'm running red hat linux 6.1 apache+mod_ssl 1.3.20 On 9/24/2001 2:08 PM this was written: Then I will reload the first page again by erasing index2.php and hitting enter and it will display a new sess id number and show the first page, as normal but that sessid number is equal t the new session created on the server and the value of it is: var3; var1; var2 This is stranger than strange. This isn't so strange. The session id is stored in a cookie. But.. I turned off cookies (debuging can be done much easier), and played a little. I found that the session is created properly on the first page and the 2 variables are registered too. But on the second page they aren't set on the first view (that's stange!). If I reload the page (of course the same sid is in the url), the 2 variables this time are set, with their value that were given on the first page (that's why I told above they were registered, and their values are stored properly, so it's not a problem of rights, session save paths, etc..) So that's what I've found, but I have to go home now sorry. On the other hand the 2 source file you've sent me worked fine on my computer, without any problems (and warnings). -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager - New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Sessions just don't work on my machine. (Trying this again)
I just tried this here below. Before trying this I changed any called to $PHPSESSID to session_id(). I turned off cookies Loaded the page... Created session id and file: sess_44074d3a54862b480c3407c9eb373f77 Contents: var1|s:8:My var 1;var2|s:8:My var 2; I submitted the form: PHPsessionid shows up as: 2f633e17c6752342d0c1e7e6191b4112 New file with same name contents: var3|s:8:My Var 3; I removed index2.php and went back to the first file. PHP SessID shows up as 68b482365d9086068edfa3e35d8dd41d Corresponding file with contents: var1|s:8:My var 1;var2|s:8:My var 2; This is different then what I previously said. But it's clear to me that each time session_start() is called, it doesn't open the existing session rather it creates a new one. When I click the 'try this link' instead when starting over. It still creates a new session ID on the server. On 9/24/2001 1:31 PM this was written: OK, do you have access to your /tmp directory? If so, close your browser, then open it and request your index page. Now sort the files in /tmp by creation time, to find the newly created session file. Look at its contents, and see if the 2 variables have values assigned to them in the file. Do this before you click submit on index. BTW, I don't think $PHPSESSID is ever defined on the first request. Instead, you can do this to see the new session ID on the first page. That will also help you find the correct session file to inspect. echo session id is . session_id() . br\n; -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager - New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[PHP] The future of PHP
A little background... Skip to THE JIST if you wanna make this quick. I am on this webmaster's list where most of the people are fairly new webmasters. They're just getting the hang of things. I am probably one of the only advanced ones on there (not to toot my own horn really) and I'm one of two who use PHP (the other is just learning.) I tout PHP and MySQL as awesome, which they are, but I don't say they're the only technology out there. There is another guy, a kid, who is a major Java guy and he's BIG into XML and JSP. Some guy on this list asked what a good dynamic web solution is, I immediately chimed in and said PHP was great, free, and on most all linux hosts. Told him how powerful it was and what could be done with it. This kid chimes in and says, something to the affect of that if the guy wants to live in the past and not let his website go anywhere then he should go with PHP but JSP is the wave of the future and it's more powerful, and has the backing of the almighty Sun and the Open Source community (as if PHP doesn't). THE JIST So, the jist is, what does PHP have to offer to the web in the future? I think it's still a viable option that will be around for at least another 6-7 years. This kid thinks it's shelf life is another 3.

Re: [PHP] Pricing Advice Needed
On 6/28/2001 2:49 AM this was written:
I am working as a freelance programmer. Problem is I don't really have a
clue how the pricing mechanism in the industry works. I have heard
calculations based on man hours and lines of code, so perhaps anyone one can
tell me on the average, how much should I be charging per man hour, or per
line of code?
I think the majority is man hour. I actually handn't heard of lines of
code. I think that would be ridiculous, can you imagine. You get paid more
depending on your style:
If ($foo == bar) {
$dofoo = fobar($foo);
} else {
$dofoo = foobar($bar);
}
Or
If ($foo == bar)
{
$dofoo = fobar($foo);
}
else
{
$dofoo = foobar($bar);
}
I would never trust someone who charged by line.
I think in general it's about $100-$150/hour for programming/database work.

(1) look up system / backtick operator / ... to get the output of the

(2) do a

[PHP] Terrible Hosting Experience
I just need to tell all of you about my terrible hosting experience with yourwebhost.com which owned by hostingventures.com which is also kinda owned by alabanza.com (same owners, I believe, different company) Anyway. I have several sites hosted for free with them because they USED to host non-profit organizations for free. We just haven't rocked the boat with them so we remain free. ;-) Well, what I'm about to say may be followed with "That's what you expect with a free hosting service." But they have done this to a paying client too. Two weeks ago they moved one of the domains I work with to another server (without prior notification) and they didn't bother even check the front page of the website to see if it came up correctly! The database wasn't moved over so almost the whole site was completely broken. Then The SSL Cert wasn't brought over with it (I found out later) so no orders could be taken. Two day later I realized that Cybercash was not installed on the same location on the server as the last server so no credit card charges could go through! 5 days went by with no e-commerce and 2 of those five days the site was completely disabled! When I e-mailed them (tried calling, no answer even though they have 'phone support' listed as an option on their website.) and they simply replied with 'the site is now working'. No explanation, no apology, nothing. I was so angry. I finally weeded an apology out of them and they offered me three months of free hosting. Well, gee, we're free hosted so there's nothing they can give us. I simply said that I hoped they learned that prior notification and CHECKING OUT THE SITE would be things they would do next time. Now, two weeks later I find today, BAM they did it to TWO MORE DOMAINS that I have hosted with them! I cannot believe this company. So, I try calling, I leave voicemail, no response. I call and hit 'zero' for the operator, it will either jump from phone to phone and eventually hit voicemail or they will pick up the phone and hang it up! Can you believe that?! Stay away from these guys, they're terrible. -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager - New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The problem appears to be with the alabanza servers and that caused problems for a number of "hosting" services. Yeah, they're the biggens. The history is that Alabanza used to be a Virtual Hosting service as well as dedicated. Well, they sold off their virtual hosting clients to "yourwebhost.com", which is owned by the same person and, they simply provide dedicated services now. Many of the Hosting companies that I have found to have great plans were all Alabanza-hosted companies. I knew a good friend of mine who worked for one of them. He said the servers they had from them were the most insecure on the Internet. When they would lock it down, Alabanza would open the hole again and tell them to stop messing with the server. One day they changed their root passwords and locked down the server tight (security-wise) They were given a cease and desist order.

I think if you echo the error (echo mysql_error();) you will see the exact

You can do something like:

If (!$result) {

If you create a table in a database that holds the information that you want
to capture for them with the username as the key to the database (no
duplicates) then when they login and they're authenticated. You can pull all
necessary information you want to track on them from the table and create
your page. So, one, physical page for all users.
If you're authenticating via .htaccess you can use the environment variable
"REMOTE_USER" to use as the username to do the select on the db. Something
like:
$user = getenv("REMOTE_USER");
$sql = "Select * from usertable where username = '$user'";

[PHP] Trim an array?
I looked through the archives and couldn't find anything on this.
I have a web form which takes 9 values to create a definition for a table
that would have up to 9 columns.
I made the table so that each form field is submitted as an array so that I
can simply step through each value and create the table definition, so:
input type=text name="tblcol[]" (duplicated 9 times)
Now, when I submit the form the resulting array always has 9 elements and
some of those will be empty.
I would like to do error checking in case people didn't fill anything at all
so I thought using if (!count($tblcol)) { But that doesn't work since it
always has 9 elements.
Is there a way to find out if an array contains no values even though it has
elements? Sort of like a trim() function on an array to destroy the
elements in the array that are empty.
