Hi,

I have a snippet of code here:

shell_exec("tar cvf /var/www/html/test/$id/data.tar 
/var/www/html/test/$id/data");

$file1="http:/www.mysite.com/test/$id/data.tar";
$file2="http://www.mysite2.com/test/$id/.tar";;

copy($file1,$file2);

I got the following error in the access log of the server:

[Wed Jul 16 15:45:57 2008] [error] PHP Warning:  
copy(http://www.mysite.com/test/145/data.tar) [<a 
href='function.copy'>function.copy</a>]: failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper 
does not support writeable connections. in /var/www/html/beam_calculation.php 
on line 20

Is there something I could do here to allow my file be "copied" to the remote 
server?

Anything is appreciated.

Use the ftp functions.

Thanks for the tip. I have revised my code to:

// define some variables
$local_file = "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/test/$id/beamdata.tar";
$server_file = "http://192.168.10.63/test/$id/beamdata.tar";;

// set up basic connection
$ftp_server="http://192.168.10.63";;
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

// login with username and password
$ftp_user_name="apache";
$ftp_user_pass="xxxxx";
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

// try to download $server_file and save to $local_file
if (ftp_get($conn_id, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_BINARY)) {
    echo "Successfully written to $local_file\n";
} else {
    echo "There was a problem\n";
}

// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);

I have put this snippet in the local server of where I want the files to be 
copied to. However, I see this on my remote server in the logs:

192.168.10.62 - - [16/Jul/2008:16:40:24 -0400] "GET 
/beam_calculation.php?id=145&no=16 HTTP/1.1" 200 22 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 
(compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)"

Is there something I have missed here?

Alice

Now, now, no need to be mean. We were all noobs at one time or another.

Shouldn't that be:

    $ftp_server="192.168.10.63";

http:// indicates a protocol and I don't think ftp supports the protocol
prefix understood by browsers.

Rob.

Alice,

Here are some Wikipedia articles that should give you a good start on
understanding the fundamental differences between the two protocols you
are confusing with each other:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP

HTTP itself does not intrinsically handle file uploads in a
server/client relationship. Web forms that include file uploads
generally have a handler function on the other end, and post files via a
form element.

FTP's main function is the transfer of files (hence [F]ile [T]ransfer
[P]rotocol), and is more in line with what you're trying to do here.

Hi Alice...

I just caught/saw this thread. I'm asuming you haven't found/solved what
you're trying to do.

So, What exactly are you trying to accomplish? What OS are you running on
both the client/server machine? Are you trying to copy from a directory on
one box, to a directory on another box? Is this a one time thing? Are the
boxes on the same network (physically close together)? Are you able to login
to the remote box from your initial server?

Let me know what you're looking to do, and I can probably get you going.

-regards...

Hi Alice...

I just caught/saw this thread. I'm asuming you haven't found/solved what you're 
trying to do.

So, What exactly are you trying to accomplish? What OS are you running on both 
the client/server machine? Are you trying to copy from a directory on one box, 
to a directory on another box? Is this a one time thing? Are the boxes on the 
same network (physically close together)? Are you able to login to the remote 
box from your initial server?

Let me know what you're looking to do, and I can probably get you going.

What I am trying to accomplish is something simple, which is to copy the files 
from one single directory, which is already tarred, and have it be copied to a 
remote server. I am guessing that it is never too difficult to untar it when I 
get it successfully copied to another server. Right now it appears to me that 
it keeps on going to the second loop that says it failed, probably because my 
password and user do not match? I have tried switching that to apache, which is 
what I set in my httpd.conf for user and group.

I was browsing through the articles Todd suggested, and the port number 1025 
kept popping up. I am not sure if I am supposed to open this port on my remote 
and my local machine. I do have ssh, which is port 22 open.

Thanks in advance.

Alice

Hey,

I'm running PHP 5.2.6 on FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2, using apache 2.2.9. I
have a PHP script that is valid code (I tested it on another server
and it worked fine). The problem is, it keeps killing the httpd
processes and outputting nothing.

I get this message in my apache error logs each time the php script is called:
[Wed Jul 16 20:10:18 2008] [notice] child pid 70553 exit signal
Illegal instruction (4)

And same thing in /var/log/messages:
kernel: pid 70649 (httpd), uid 80: exited on signal 4

I read that it has to do with PCRE, so I tried commenting out all the
preg and ereg functions, but that also didn't work.

Here's a list of the modules I'm using:
[PHP Modules]
bz2
date
dom
filter
gd
geoip
hash
iconv
libxml
mbstring
mcrypt
memcache
mysql
mysqli
pcre
Reflection
session
SimpleXML
sockets
SPL
standard
xml
zip
zlib

This is really frustrating me. I'm about to switch over to Lighttpd to
see if it would help :-\

Any suggestions/ideas/comments/solutions would greatly be appreciated.

Hi,

I have a set of files stored in a directory and I need to serve those via a
php script (in order to protect, control access etc).

The problem is that zip files (exe also) get corrupted when I try from IE7.
 I've read the posts from this list and google etc with no idea of how to
solve it.

The stored files are ok (tested from firefox or direct copy).  When I use
IE7 the file size is smaller.  In my test a config.zip with 248 bytes ends
up with 214 bytes.

This is the code used

header("Pragma: public");
header('Expires: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s').' GMT');
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false);
header("Content-Type: ".$type);

if($remove_date_from_file == false)
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'.basename($file).'"');
 else

         $new_name_ = substr($name_,0,strlen($name_)-15).$ext_;

 header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
 header('Content-Length: '.filesize($file));
 while(!feof($fp))
 {
     echo fgets($fp) ;
 }
 fclose($fp);

I've added a debug to send me a message with the header and it comes the
same way no matter what browser.

Am I doing something wrong or do I have to start looking to the server's

Hi,

I have a set of files stored in a directory and I need to serve those via a
php script (in order to protect, control access etc).

The problem is that zip files (exe also) get corrupted when I try from IE7.
 I've read the posts from this list and google etc with no idea of how to
solve it.

The stored files are ok (tested from firefox or direct copy).  When I use
IE7 the file size is smaller.  In my test a config.zip with 248 bytes ends
up with 214 bytes.

This is the code used

header("Pragma: public");
header('Expires: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s').' GMT');
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false);
header("Content-Type: ".$type);

if($remove_date_from_file == false)
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'.basename($file).'"');
 else
  {
         $name_ = substr(basename($file),0,strrpos(basename($file),"."));
         $ext_ = substr(basename($file),strrpos(basename($file),"."));
         $new_name_ = substr($name_,0,strlen($name_)-15).$ext_;
         header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'.$new_name_.'"');
 }
 header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
 header('Content-Length: '.filesize($file));

 {
     echo fgets($fp) ;

Instead of that looping through every byte, have you tried just using the readfile() function?
In fact, in that code you posted I don't see you opening the file (where does $fp come from?) Also in your code, you don't flush the file before closing (fflush($fp)), which might make a difference, especially since your result seems to be a few bytes short.
Oh, and make VERY sure that there is *nothing* output to the client before you start pushing the ZIP file out - that definitely leads to corruption of such things, although if you were sending data before changing the headers you would get an error message about that. 

What I can't understand is why is might work with one browser and not another...

Hello Guys,

I have been getting a wierd soap exception lately


    [faultstring] => looks like we got no XML document
    [faultcode] => Client
    [faultcodens] => http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/

What does that mean? The call gets properly called and it does what it needs
to do, but the response xml is always a $fault? Did anyone have this
problem? I am using php 5.2.6 for the info.

and below is my method...

    private function createThread($userID, $applianceTitle,
$applianceDetails_link){
      // Define Client
      try {
         $client = new SoapClient($this->createThreadWSDL, array("trace" =>
1
         ));
      } catch(SoapFault $fault) {
          return "";
      }

     // Define Input array
     $params = array(
       'subject'=> $applianceTitle,
       'body' => $applianceDetails_link,
       'communityID' => $this->parentCommunityID,
       'userID' => $userID
     );

     //Make the Call
     try {
       $result = $client->__soapCall('createThread',
array('parameters'=>$params), NULL, $this->header);
       return $result;
     } catch (SoapFault $fault){
       return $fault;
     }
   }

Thanks

This is usually a malformed XML document - I had the problem recently
when fetching an XML document that wasn't complete (no </xml>). Check
what you're *actually* getting with something like:

} catch(SoapFault $exception) {
                $request_xml = $client->__getLastRequestHeaders() .
$client->__getLastRequest();
                $response_xml = $client->__getLastResponseHeaders() .
$client->__getLastResponse();
                print "Response:".$response_xml;
                print "Request:".$request_xml;
                print $exception;
        }
