Hello guys; i'm having a problem with session behavior; i'm going straight to
it, but first some considerations:
PHP Version 5.2.5IIF 5.1Running on localhost (XP machine)I start sessions at the top of every page.
A the start of a test page, just as example, i do the assignment: $_SESSION["username"]
= "aaa";
At the end of the same page i print it's value: echo $_SESSION["username"];
And i get the layout: "aaa", as expecteed.
Then I redirect to another page. On that one, after initializating the session
("session_start();") print again the $_SESSION["username"] content and the
result is empty. If i try the same code on a server (all this is on my local machine), the code
works as expected; so i think it is a configuration problem, here is my php.ini part that
correspond to session configuration, so you can tell my if i'm doing anything wrong, long comments

It works for me; I am using php-5.2.5 with lighttpd and FastCGI.
I called session_start() on both the pages.
and
I have enabled session.use_trans_sid.
You can temporarily override it from the php script by using this -
<?
//...other code
ini_set("session.use_trans_sid",1);
//...other code
?>
Try and report again.

I am having 2 memory leaks while calling phpinfo() via FastCGI
(lighttpd) when session.auto_start is 1. Otherwise there is no memory leak.
Here are the two memory leaks -

i have a registration page where a user fills a form and i display an error
message if a validation message needs to be displayed which i have written
in php. everything works fine. the way the form is made presently is there
is a huge amount of information relating to general information about the
form and its terms and conditions which is compulsory. so if i have to
display any validation message the user has to scroll the page from the top
again all the way till they see the validation message.
i have used relative linking as it is done in html, so that the user does
not have to scroll from the top of the page, rather the page stops where i
want it to so the user see the message and does not have to scroll the page.
following are the 2 methods i have used and both of them work fine. however
in method 2 as it is based on javascript and if
javascript is turned off the relative linking will not work and the user
will have to scroll from the top of the page again and i have tested this
myself.
method 1
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>#indrel" method="POST"
id="test2" name="registrationform" >
<a name="indrel"></a>
if($error)
{
echo $error;
}
method 2
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>" method="POST" id="test2"
name="registrationform" >
<a name="indrel"></a>
if($error)
{
echo ("
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>
window.location.href='http://website.com/filename.php#indrel'
</script>
");
echo $error;
}
please comment if method 1 is correct in terms of the syntax of the form tag
if it is correct or not though i know this method is working the way i want
it to, i wanted to confirm before i implement it for my website.
please advice.
thanks.

Hello Sudhakar,
I have added #firstError to the end of my script url and then if I have an
error, I add that anchor to the first error on the page. This way I don't
have to use any javascript to leap the person forward to the first error.
I think this is what you are doing with your first method. That should be

It would require a little JS, but you could use the onUnload feature
and pop up a warning that would tell them the problem(s) of leaving
this page. Then use the confirm() method from JS to either allow or
deny them to leave the current page.
I don't know if you can limit this action to only take affect when
they press the back button, but it might help in any event.
Jim:
I tried that.
The problem is that you'll get that notice if the user submits the
form as well. IOW, no matter what the user does, as soon as they
leave that page they get the notice.
I might be able to put a hidden input field to cancel the notice, but
like everything -- one thing leads to another.

Hi gang:
This is probably trivial for most of you, but here's my solution to
the problem I presented earlier.
The problem was, I just wanted to be certain that if a use clicked
a button that they could only do it once. Sounds simple enough, huh?
Certainly, one can use javascript, but I wanted something that was
basic php and html -- here's my solution with code (please provide
critical review):
I had been tracking an intermittent bug for some considerable time
and having finally identified the underlying problem - double click
sends the page request twice, but the second request is processed
before first has updated things! We have tightened up the server end
as much as possible, but not eliminated the problem.
The javascript solution is the only reliable one that I've found but
some sites do not allow it to be enabled. Since having finally
identified the source of the problem, we have improved education and
can now 'spot' a double clicker who in many cases does not even know
they are doing it! People get so used TO double clicking things on
the desktop :( But in some case we suspect that the BROWSER send two
requests perhaps because of a noisy keyboard! On one site that we
pinned down to a particular counter position, changing the keyboard
fixed the problem ( enter was pressing the button ).
Just a word of warning that may explain the occasional double order ;)

Well that sounds good enough reason to use javascript.
I'll add that too.

Why are you writing a logging class? Why not use error_log and enable error
logging?
two reasons actually,
1. learning OOP for PHP, so the more I practice at it the better I get.
2. the logging that's being done with this class is done primarily for
debugging during the development phase of the application itself. That
way during run-time I can tail the log file and see where a portion of
the app is failing if it fails or simply tell me where it's at and what
it's doing.
Standard error logging wasn't giving me the feedback that I needed at
the time and debug logging is a habit I got into when I learned PERL to
help tell me where things were failing.

This function is identical to calling fopen(), fwrite() and fclose()

This native function does it for you

Hi all,
I've been lurking and reading now for some time, but have decided to
come out of the shadows cause I've got an issue that's gonna drive me
crazy!
I'm developing an application and within this application is a class
that is very simple and only serves a singular purpose - to make log
entries to help with debugging. Problem is, now I'm debugging the damned
logging class that is supposed to be helping me debug the application as
I'm putting it together! <sigh> I've looked and looked all over the
place, but I don't seem to be able to find an answer to this problem.
The only information that I have found so far deals with permissions and
I don't think that's the problem. At first I was getting an access
denied error but since setting dir perms and log file perms so that both
apache and my user can right to both the directory and the file that one
has gone away.
Log Directory permissions: /mystuff/logs rwx-rwx-rwx (777)
Log file permissions : /mystuff/logs/run.log rwx-rwx-rwx
(777)
At any rate, the following is the information I'm getting in the apache
error_log while working on this particular portion of the application:
PHP Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource
in /mystuff/inc/Log.inc on line 22,
PHP Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource
in /mystuff/inc/Log.inc on line 23,
The Log class:
-----------------------------
class Log{
public $path, $entry, $logfile;
public function Log(){}
public function setLog($path,$file){
$this->path = $path;
$this->logfile = $file;
}
public function writeLog($entry){
// open the file, in this case the log file
$h = "$this->path/$this->logfile";
fopen($h, 'a+');
fwrite($h,$entry);
fclose($h);
}
}
Code snippet where attempting to write log entry from program:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$pl_log = new Log;
$pl_log->setLog($logpath,"run.log");
$usernanme = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['secret'];
/**
* (debugging) logging incoming values from form:
*/
$pl_log->writeLog("getDateTime(): Incoming values from Login Form:
blah...blah...blah\n");
Any help with this would be most appreciated. (be gentle... I'm a PERL
program learning PHP OOP)

If I understand this correctly this "if" statement directs php to check
the main ini config file and if certain conditions are met then it
displays the information in the browser window. Useful, but it would
seem, at least to me at the moment, that if the script fails before it's
even able to get anything to the screen then nothing gets displayed.

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone else happens to be using Mozilla Thunderbird and
seeing this behavior, and also if this behavior is a feature or a bug.
When I hit the reply button to respond to a message most of the time the
actual sender's address is the one the message is being sent to rather
than the list itself. This is the first mailing list I've been on that
I've seen this behavior; all other lists I'm on when one hits the reply
button, or CTRL+R the mailing list's address is inserted as it should be
and is expected.
I know with some email clients there is a menu item specifically there
for responding "to the list" based on whether or not there is a
list-header in the header information but that isn't an available option
with Thunderbird. Is anyone else seeing this behavior or is there
something I'm missing?
Mark
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Yeah. I always forget to reply to all.
The problem is with the headers. Whereas other lists have a reply-to:
<mailing list address> in the email headers, this list does not. It annoys
the hell out of me.

Why in the bloody hell doesn't the list admin simply "add" that reply-to
header. As far as I know Sendmail adds that auto-magically by default.
(I'm assuming they're not using Sendmail as the lists' MTA). It sure
would make life easier wouldn't it? How long has it been this way?

The list admin, if uses a program called ezlm (or something similar), it
adds the List-Id or the Newsgroups header which also helps.
They must have it.

Boy! is this tempting...
I've got a sendmail server running with Mailman installed on it that I'm

It's not specific to Thunderbird or any other mail client. I'm pretty
sure it was configured that way on purpose. Have a look at this

seeing this behavior, and also if this behavior is a feature or a bug.
When I hit the reply button to respond to a message most of the time the
actual sender's address is the one the message is being sent to rather
than the list itself. This is the first mailing list I've been on that
I've seen this behavior; all other lists I'm on when one hits the reply
button, or CTRL+R the mailing list's address is inserted as it should be
and is expected.
I know with some email clients there is a menu item specifically there
for responding "to the list" based on whether or not there is a
list-header in the header information but that isn't an available option
with Thunderbird. Is anyone else seeing this behavior or is there
something I'm missing?

It's not specific to Thunderbird or any other mail client. I'm pretty
sure it was configured that way on purpose. Have a look at this
thread:

well, obviously since the issue still exists it's clear that this never
got resolved. I just don't understand the obstenant behavior of some
folks in the presence of clear and plain logic. Especially from a
programmer. Makes no sense at all.
Guess I'm off to create the necessary recipe for Procmail to do the
adult thing and make sense of the non-sense.

That's what I've been doing as well until I get procmail setup to do it
for me.

Hey all,
Heres what i am trying to do:
When someone sends a message from my site, i take their ip address and make a
file with their ip address in a directory called "hash-directory", the file
looks like this: 169.34.534.243.txt
I want to make sure they cant send too many messages because of the potential
to spam, so I want to limit them to sending a message every X number of
minutes... heres what i have written (its not working for some damn reason)
############# Start PHP file ################
if(isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']))
{$rem_address=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];}
$directory_with_files="hash-directory/";
$threshold = strtotime('-2 minutes');
echo "File created on: <b>".$rem_address .".txt - ". date("F d Y H:i:s.",
filectime($directory_with_files.$rem_address.".txt"))."
".$file_time_details[0]."</b><br><br>";
if (file_exists($directory_with_files.$rem_address.".txt"))
{
if (getdate(filectime($directory_with_files.$rem_address.".txt")) <
$threshold)
{echo "<b>Please wait more than 1 minute before posting.</b><br>";}
else{echo "<b>Enough time has elapsed.</b><br>";}
}
############# END PHP file ################
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks!
Ryan

From the manual
This returns a timestamp
int strtotime ( string $time [, int $now ] )
This returns an hash array with all the date/time info in it.
array getdate ([ int $timestamp ] )
You are trying to compare two things that are completely different.
Get rid of the getdate() function. All you need is the filectime()
call, it returns a unix timestamp.
{echo "<b>Please wait more than 1 minute before posting.</b><br>";}
else{echo "<b>Enough time has elapsed.</b><br>";}
}

Just in case you "Do" have access to procmail the recipe below should do
the trick for fixing this annoying "feature". Just keep telling yourself
it's a feature and not a bug. :)
