Hi,
Well I'ld say the reason is quite obvious. You have simply not set
$_session["username"] . I'ld have done something like:
-- option.php --
<?php
session_start();
if ($_POST["option"] == "View Pending Requests")
{
$_session["username"]= true; //sets the session
header('Location:
http://intra.mdah.state.ms.us/helpdesk/viewpending.php?PHPSESSID='.SID); //
I'ld use SID
}
?>
--viewpending.php -
<?php
session_start();
if ($_SESSION["username"] !=true)
{
echo "You have not logged in";
exit;
}
?>
I hope this helps. try it.
Cheers

Well the thing is, $_SESSION["username"] is set. If I change option.php to:
<?php
session_start();
echo "session username is ".$_SESSION["username"];
/*if ($_POST["option"] == "View Pending Requests")
{
header('Location:
http://intra.mdah.state.ms.us/helpdesk/viewpending.php?PHPSESSID='.session_id());
}
*/
?>
and click on View Pending Requests, it prints:
session username is awilliam

Well, there is that ... and if the browser does not accept your
cookie, it will be trapped in an infinte redirection cycle.

Yes and from php.net,
"Cookies will not become visible until the next loading of a page that the
cookie should be visible for."
So there's no PHP solution for my problem? I think I need to use unreliable
JavaScript.

Hello,
following in my .htaccess works with php 5.2.6 (mod_php)
php_value mbstring.func_overload 2
Seems that since (5.2.7?) 5.2.8/5.2.9 this value is not any more
accepted by php in .htaccess.
mbstring.func_overload should be changeable by PHP_INI_PERDIR which
includes .htaccess
Other values are changeable by .htaccess so it should not be a general
problem on my side.
Please someone could check this?
Thanks,
Andre
Besides the .htaccess which might be an apache configuration problem if
you use ini_set("mbstring.func_overload",2) in a script of this
directory does it work?
In addition to this heck your apache configuration to see if you allow
.htaccess to be parsed.

Are you just trying to get the contents of the page, or is there
something special you're doing? If it's just the contents you're
after, try file_get_contents() if allow_url_fopen is set to TRUE for
your PHP installation.
http://php.net/file_get_contents
http://php.net/allow_url_fopen
Hope this helps,

Except I also need to POST data to the server to login. After I've logged
in, I then need to use cookies to maintain a session.
Doing that via file_get_contents() just isn't possible.
Thanks

Hi Gurus,
I was just wondering if there is any good tutorial on GIS with PHP ?
Tried googling but did'nt find anything real good.
Any help will be appreciated.

$graphs=$dom->getElementsByTagName("p");
$lines=$dom->getElementsByTagName("br");

It's been suggested you do a thorough search for this function, but the
fact that PHP isn't finding it in the first place leads me to believe it
isn't there. If that's the case, I'd suggest you make up your own alt()
function that does what you think this one is doing (maybe just return
the passed variable). You'll have to decide where to put it that's
visible in all the places where it's called.

hi to all!
actually, the statement in the Subject line is not 100% correct. I understand
the purpose and how it works (at least I think I understand :-)) but to me it's
so complicated way?
let's take a look in example from php.net(http://us3.php.net/try)
<?php
function inverse($x) {
if (!$x) {
throw new Exception('Division by zero.');
}
else return 1/$x;
}
try {
echo inverse(5) . "\n";
echo inverse(0) . "\n";
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Caught exception: ', $e->getMessage(), "\n";
}
// Continue execution
echo 'Hello World';
?>
I would do the same thing, I think, less complicated:
<?php
function inverse($x)
{
if (!$x) {
echo 'Division by zero';
}
else return 1/$x;
}
echo inverse(5);
echo inverse(0);
// Continue execution
echo 'Hello world';
?>
I know this is "too simple, maybe not the best example", but can somebody please explain
"the purpose" of try/catch?
Thanks.
-LL
Here is a practical example that may help you.
Each of the functions can throw an exception, which causes
the flow to jump to the catch block.
try
{
$checksOK = true;
checkEmailAddr($userSubmitedDataArray[EMAIL_ADDR_FIELD]);
checkPhoneDigits($userSubmitedDataArray[PHONE_NUM_FIELD],'phone');
checkNotes($userSubmitedDataArray, $sizesArray);
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
//Message text in check functions
$userErrorMsg = $e->getMessage();
}
Here is one of the functions:
function checkEmailAddr($emailAddr)
{
if(empty($emailAddr))
{
throw new Exception("No email address provided");
}
if(!preg_match("%...@%", $emailAddr))
{
throw new Exception("Email address missing mailbox
name.");
}
if(!filter_var($emailAddr, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
throw new Exception("Email address error. Syntax is
wrong. ");
}
$domain = substr(strchr($emailAddr, '@'), 1);
if(!checkdnsrr($domain))
{
throw new Exception("Email address warning.
Specified domain \"$domain\" appears to be invalid. Check
carefully.");
}
return true;

Thanks for the feedback.
I too like xhtml but I think I like the option of serving both. My only concern
is that a proxy server might cache an xhtml page and then serve it to a
non-xhtml browser.
Do you think it's possible that a proxy might serve the xhtml source to the
wrong browser?

As michael said my main reason is strictness. It's much easier to parse a
document when an XML parser can read it. I like the idea of closing tags etc.

I use XHTML 1.0 transitional and I've yet to have anyone tell me my
sites don't work. Mobile and desktop browsers too. So I'm not sure
that's an issue at all (?)

Hi,
I'm thinking about using the html5 doctype for all html documents
since it's supported by all the popular browsers available today.
Two Quick questions...
Why do we need to send XHTML code to a web browser when standard
html code (with html 5 doctype) will do just fine?
Is there any advantage of using xhtml in the web browser over html
for normal web application development?

I've never had problems and my work is primarily
around IE6 / our

Would this function work for sending html and
solve the utf8 problem?
function makeHTML($document) {
$buffer =
$document->saveHTML();
$output =
html_entity_decode($buffer,ENT_QUOTES,"UTF-8");
return $output;
}
I'll try it and see what it does.
this was the only workaround I received for the
moment, and I was a
bit afraid it would not process the full range of
utf-8; it appeared
on a quick check to work but I wanted to run it on our
entire database
and then ask the native geo folks to examine it for
correctness.
I find that IE7 (at least) is pretty reliable as long as I
use strict XHTML and
send a DOCTYPE header to that effect at the top - that
seems to trigger a
standard-compliant mode in IE7.
At least then I only have to worry about the JavaScript
incompatibilities, and
the table model, and the event model, and ....

Hi, I'm trying to upload a pdf file from a local drive to the server using a
php routine. I've done it server to server before with no issues but this
just keeps failing on me.
This is the function I'm calling, it connects and logs in just fine, but it
will not upload the file. The file I'm sending is just a 100k pdf file. I
have php set up with:
max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 20M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 8M
ftpData($fileField, "/var/www/html/Docs/DU/DU1.pdf")
with $filefield just being a local path taken from a filebrowser in a html
form. I've also tried using ftp_chdir to change the destination path and
when calling ftp_pwd is shows the current directory has changed to the
correct one but it still won't write anything down.
any ideas?
James
function ftpData($Source, $Dest){
// set up basic connection
$success = 1;
$ftp_server = "blahblahbla.com";
$ftp_user_name = "dummy";
$ftp_user_pass = "dammy";
$destination_file = $Dest;
$source_file = $Source;
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
echo "FTP connection has failed!<br>";
echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user
$ftp_user_name<br>";
$success = 0;
exit;
} else {
echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name<br>";
}
// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);
// check upload status
if (!$upload) {
echo "FTP upload has failed!<br>";
$success = 0;
} else {
echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as
$destination_file<br>";
}
// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($conn_id);
return($success);
}

If you do it manually does it work? Maybe the account is over quota.
