Dear List,
I have had a question that has been bugging me for a while now. Say
that I need to have a members website. Which I want to protect streaming
audio (Real, or Windows Media), now all the pages I can protect with a MYSQL
DB and PHP. But when it comes to protecting a url of a file or audio feed it
becomes tricky. What is the procedure? Would I have to use the htaccess
file? But then when I open a realaudio file it will ask for a username and
passworld again..
How does one protect an url - or do I have to copy the file to a temp dir
and then after a set time delete it?
Help, there must be a way..
Thanks for any ideas..
Sincerely,
Adam

You put the data in a directory outside of the webspace and use PHP
to grab the file and send it to someone. That way you're able to
control access to the file.
By webspace, I'm referring to the directories outside of the ones
used to store and serve your webpages. This directory structure
would serve as an example for where you store your webpages and where
you store your data separately from the webpages:
/www/www.somesite.com/htdocs
/www/www.somesite.com/data

If you're using PHP 4.3 or later, header() lets you set the response
status code with the third argument. Otherwise, sending a Location
header sets the response status code to 302.
If you're using an old version of PHP, you should try reversing the
order of the header() calls in your example, if you haven't already.
Hope that helps.

My reading of that URL makes it sound like a Squid cache, with
configurable GET args being seen as relevant.
But, heh, 100 to 6000 improvement is definitely good for Windows users.

Hi,
I just start in using session, but unfortunatly I meet first problem right
now :-(
On some PC when i load the page, the is no content, and on other PC the page
is loaded properly. On computer where the page is blank i have to press F5
(refresh), and the page appear ?.
The second thing I notice, is that i try display the source from browser, it
doesn't work.
And i find, thet when I comment or remove session_start(); the page work on
every PC, and i can view the source.
Could you help me?
This is an example page: ( can't view the source)
<?php
session_start();
?>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2">
</head>
<body>
ble ble ble :-(
</body>
</html>
With best regards,
Mariusz
P.S. I hope you could understand me :-))))

Try like this:
var_dump(in_array($a, $test, true));

Almost for sure, PHP is attempting to "test" the == by a deeper scan

Hello all,
I'm new to this list. To not flooding the bug tracking system I hope
to clarify some of my understanding here.
I am referring to the (now bogus) bug report
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39356&edit=2. This happens after my
upgrade to PHP 5.2, where the code shown produces a "Fatal error:
Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency?". Same testing code
reproduced below:
----------------------------
<?php
class A
{
public $b;
}
class B
{
public $a;
}
$a = new A;
$b = new B;
$b->a = $a;
$a->b = $b;
$test = array($a, $b);
var_dump(in_array($a, $test));
----------------------------
I think this is not rare for a child item to have knowledge about its
parent, forming a cross-reference.
This code runs with no problem in PHP5.1.6, but not in 5.2. Ilia
kindly points out that "In php 5 objects are passed by reference, so
your code does in
fact create a circular dependency.". I know the passed by reference
rule. What I'm now puzzled is, why this should lead to an error.
To my knowledge, despite the type-casting issue and actual algorithm,
in_array() should actually do nothing more than:
function mimic_in_array($search, $list)
{
foreach ($list as $item)
if ($search == $item)
return true;
return false;
}
Which means:
1. in_array() isn't multi-dimensional.
2. in_array() doesn't care about the properties of any object.
That is, I don't expect in_array() to nest through all available inner
arrays for a match, not to mention those are object properties, not
arrays.
So here is the question: Why should in_array() throws such a "Fatal
error: Nesting level too deep" error? Why should it care? Is there any
behaviour I don't know?
Thanks all in advance.

It doesn't have to be written in PHP.
Compile the following program and try it from the command line:
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
if (2 > argc) {
return printf("usage: %s <locale>\n", *argv);
}
char *old = setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL);
printf("old: %p \"%s\"\n", old, old);
char *loc = setlocale(LC_ALL, argv[1]);
char *check = setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL);
printf("check: %p \"%s\"\n", check, check);
if (0 == loc) {
printf("setlocale: \"%s\"\n", strerror(errno));
return 1;
}
return printf("new: %p \"%s\"\n", loc, loc);
}
Put "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" in your apache config
and call the above from the script below, does the output differ?
foo.cgi:
#!/bin/sh
printf "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"
/path/to/the-above-program en_GB

You're probably running this from a web server, and that often runs as
nobody. Apache is typically started as root to allow it to listen(2) on
port 80. This process running as root doesn't handle http requests
itself, it fork(2)s, the child process switches its effective user id to
nobody and then handles the request(s).

Filesystem nodes are owned by the effective user id of the process that
created them. See chown(2), open(2), setuid(2) for details.

That does not affect this.

Not at all. umask influences the mode ("permissions") of the created
file, but is completely unrelated to ownership.

See above. This is from a completely ordinary Apache 2.0 install:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ 1005:0 > ps auxww|grep httpd|head -5
root 6652 0.0 2.3 19108 11340 ?? Ss 10:30AM 0:00.93
/usr/local/sbin/httpd
www 31670 0.0 2.6 20628 13028 ?? S 1:46PM 0:00.73
/usr/local/sbin/httpd
www 34625 0.0 5.0 32260 24736 ?? S 2:09PM 0:00.68

/usr/local/sbin/httpd
www 34735 0.0 2.4 19672 12080 ?? S 2:10PM 0:00.24
/usr/local/sbin/httpd
The root-owned process can be easily eliminated by running the server
on a port > 1024 and natting it to 80.

Hey all,
I've just examined the latest Change-Log for Version 5.2.0 (see
http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php for details).
Seems to be fine, but I couldn't figure out one point.
The changelog talks about
Added RFC1867 fileupload processing hook. (Stefan E.)
and I actually don't know what is meant by that. I've looked up that RFC
but it appears to me to be about multipart/form-data only. I confess
that I haven't read it completly, but it didn't really seem to be
talking about what I wanted to know.
So, could anyone be so kind to explain me what is meant by that and what
its used for?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings from Germany
Yours sincerely
Christian Heinrich

Probably best explained with an example:
http://progphp.com/upload.php
Try uploading a 200-300k file.

Hi,
I create a table with some large object (ref: OID) to store some images.
When my PHP will display some data, it will also display the images stored
as OID.
However, i've read that before i must restore the image by exporting them to
local (on server) file.
isn't it easier in this case, to simply store the path and file name of file
to DB and just read the data to display image on PHP pages ?
what is the purpose in this case to store image a bytea / large object ?
moreover, how my php code will load image from DB and stored there as OID ?
isn't it too much complex in comparison with just storing path and name of
image ?
thanks a lot,
Al.
