Hi,
It's been a long day, but what's wrong here?.
echo $_POST['Location']; # good
echo "<br>";
echo "$_POST['Location']"; # bad nothing appears
If you're going to display an array value within a string, put it in
brackets.
echo "my value: {$array['key']}";
This also works:
echo "my value $array[key]";
but it's better to use the brackets so it's clear exactly what variable
you are displaying.

ok, so i made a file manager and i need to prevent people from linking
directly to files that do not come from another part of the site.
i know i can use http_referer, but i wonder how fool proof it is, i dont
want to spit out errors to a legit user that actually came from a valid page
before trying to access the file url. some people have said http_referer is
not always accurate.
any examples, snips, would be helpful.

Never rely on it. It might be not set at all, it's easy to spoof. I would
think about sessions here.
btw this topic has been discussed much, so you probably should STFA.

Shabanip,
Zend provides a package for doing just this, but it comes with a price
tag starting nigh to $1,000. You can find it here:
http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-encoder.php
They do offer a free evaluation so you can "try before you buy" ;-)

Hi there!
What's the point of doing that? The PHP-codes are well protected if they are
on a well
configured server.

But think that not everbody has a computer in his house,especially in
3rd world countries. Here in Peru and in another countries from
Sudamerica,lot of people play this mmorpgs,like Knigths Online,WoW or

you can't get the mac-address from a remote (client) computer via PHP
because PHP is server-sided (server). The mac-address isn't part of any
sort of standard header the browser sends, thus the server will never
see it. And if the server can't see it, then PHP can't see it either.
The only way to get it would be to run a local script which would pick
it up, and send it over. This however would require something like a
JAVA applet / application. The mac address is usually hidden away quite
well so people can't get it and start pretending to be someone else.
Although the idea is good, it most likely will not be possible
(relativly easily)

Hi all,
for some reason, I cannot get php to compile a shared object to work
with apache 1.3.33...
Here are the config commands that I used for apache and php :
EAPI_MM=SYSTEM ./configure --enable-module=so --enable-module=info
--enable-module=status --enable-module=rewrite --enable-module=ssl
--enable-shared=ssl --disable-rule=SSL_COMPAT
apache installs and works just fine.
I use this for php :
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-ftp
--with-mcrypt=/usr/local -with-openssl -enable-url-fopen-wrapper
--enable-ftp --with-gd --with-zlib --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib
--with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-ttf --enable-gd-native-ttf
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib --enable-shared
It compiles ok, but when I go to install it, it gives an error :
Installing PHP SAPI module: apache
[activating module `php4' in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf]
cp libs/libphp4.so /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so
cp: libs/libphp4.so: No such file or directory
apxs:Break: Command failed with rc=1
*** Error code 1
Stop in /dev/php-4.3.10.
and there is no shared object file in the libs directory.
This works just fine on a FreeBSD 4.10 client, but for some reason it
doesn't create the shared object on this 5.3 system.
More info :
System is a Dual Opteron AMD architecture, running a fresh install of
FreeBSD 5.3...
thanks,
Tim.

Hi All,
So I've been using my own php to search my site
(http://hiptingle.spydigital.com) and for a while it was fine...But recently
I put in a logging system just to see what people were searching for and
realized they aren't finding what they're seeking. I wrote all search code
to split words on commas and then builds SQL using LIKE statements (i know,
i know it's bad but i was a newbie when i wrote it).
I checked out PHPDig and it's fine but I was wondering if there's something
out there (a class or a group of classes) that are a good stub that I can
expand on. I guess what I'm looking for is something that I can feed blocks
of text and it will strip out all code and build indexes. That way I can
still search the fields I choose but have an index and not include code
(like img or href tags).
Or if there's something totally fly that I don't know about do tell.
Thanks,
Colin Olkowski

You really don't have to put the index in a single dimension input array.
Just put
qty[]
And you'll get it.

I hope you didn't miss the mention of htmlentities(), also. If you did,
then you'll figure it out the first time you try to load a file with the
string "</textarea>" in it, I guess.

Hi there, I have a script that uses the mail() function, but for some
reason the script takes a really long time to finish processing (like 5
minutes). there are some other functions performed (like sql insert,
etc) that happen immediately as they should. But the mail takes some
time to finish processing. If I remove the mail function, the script
finishes immediately. Any ideas? I have included my code below (used
for the mail). ideas?
$ToMail = $_POST['ccEmail'];
$FromMail = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$FromName = "The Name";
$Subject = "Your membership";
