You have set gc_maxlifetime to 3600 seconds. How much expire time have
you set?
Because, every 3600 seconds, session data stored is considered as
garbage and php clears them out itself.
If your expiration time is more than 3600 seconds, then this will not
work. You need to increase gc_maxlifetime.
For the other case, I'm clueless.

Yes, I'm aware of that. However, users are being logged out after a few
minutes, not one hour of inactivity (which is what I'd expect with 3600
seconds).
If your expiration time is more than 3600 seconds, then this will not
work. You need to increase gc_maxlifetime.
If you mean the expiration time of the session cookie, it is set to 0,
which means it shouldn't be deleted until the browser is closed (or the
user logs out, at which point it is deleted immediately).

How do you handle multiple logins?
If I login using my laptop and get Session A for my account and then I
login using my desktop and get Session B for my account, does Session
A get killed?
Do you allow multiple, simultaneous logins per account?

For browsers/extensions that do automatic read ahead (I load page A
and linked pages B and C are also retrieved).
Is the potential for cached pages to be returned for a user NOT logged in?

Just confirm once that you are not calling session_destroy somewhere.

Session A is killed, your last login is always the current one.
Do you allow multiple, simultaneous logins per account?
No, but then each user is accessing their account from a single machine
and browser anyway (i.e. they don't switch from desktop to laptop and
then back again), so we don't even have people trying to have
simultaneous logins.

The only place session_destroy is called is in the logout function,
which itself is only called if a user clicks the logout link.

I hadn't thought of that. However, we audit all user logins and logouts,
as well as all page requests. If the browser was pre-fetching the logout
page, we'd have 'user logout' entries in our logs, but the only notices
we have are for users logging in. If users were being logged out because
of pre-fetching, I'd expect to see each login entry have a corresponding
logout entry.

Any pages which a user has viewed whilst logged in shouldn't be cached,
assuming the browser is respecting the headers. They are all sent with:
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0,
pre-check=0

How is your code determining if they need to be redirected back to the
login page?
The test is whether two $_SESSION elements are set and match ones in the
database, plus whether the last page view by the user (stored in the
database, updated on each request) was less than one hour ago.
What changes that information?
A page load changed the 'last page view time'. Nothing changes the other
session data, except an explicit logout (which sets $_SESSION = array()
and calls session_destroy).
Can you monitor it externally?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'externally'. Most of the site requires a
login, so it's not possible for a third-party to monitor it if that's
what you mean.

I'm not familiar with MAC, however, there are projects out there that
provide everything you need, for the most part. Look up XAMPP, I used to
use this in the past before I setup my own personal server.
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-macosx.html
This should provide you with an environment necessary for development
and production. I currently run Arch Linux on my personal server and
have installed Apache, PHP, MySQL and so on via the package manager. For
my dev/prod process, I'm using Boilerplate, which provides a default
HTML5/CSS3 template. However, the nice thing about it is, they've also
provided a small build process using ANT. I've modified the ANT build
script to my needs and simply build my production environment using
that, keeping my dev code in tact and readable :) They've integrated the
YUI Compressor into their build process is simply minifies all CSS and
JavaScript.
Anyway, enough about that, just an example of what can be done. There's
always the option of compiling everything from source as well :)

By local, do you mean a local dedicated box, or an everyday use box?
The checklist varies quite a bit depending on the results.
Also, is your site to be served by standard port 80 traffic? Does your Internet
host allow inbound port 80?

If you have to ask these questions, i don't think you should be the person
to do it, i'm sorry.
I wouldn't recommend doing it on a mac, or even one single box, i wouldnt
recommend doig it on non-server hardware, infact most of the time i would
recommend you just buy already pre-sertup servers so that all you have to do
is set up your database, upload your application and be done with it, VPS or
a ded box will serve the purpose quite nicely depending on your needs.
It's not rocket science, but building a production server requires some
know-how and a bit of experience. You need to know each component to
configure it well, you need to know the OS, you need to secure it, and you
may need to tweak it to perform better and you need to know your application
to maximize performance of all of the components, and you need to be up to
date on current trends and technology to again, maximize your throughput.
You need to know systems and you need to think solutions, unless you really
dont care, but that's how you end up with a 5rps website that's about as
secure as a taped carboard box. Infact, in my practice, i took a poorly
implemented box that could only serve 5rps at 128M mem usage (and climbing)
and 100% cpu utilization, and got it to serve 340rps using 14MB memory with
no visible cpu load (like sub 2% spikes) and with no code modifications; and
i could take it farther, infact i did on the testing server where i got it
to over 600rps, but i only had 4 hours to find, tweak and test before
pushing to production and i wasn't allowed to tweak the bone-stock OS or
build anything (held true for the 600+ mark)... Some day i wanna take the
smallest ec2 instance and see how far i can really push it, though the
people i did the above for found it pretty impressive that they could click
on any page on the site (it was a social media experiment and so parts were
constantly updated) and have it loaded instantly, even when i was pounding
on the server...
Anyways not trying to stroke my ego by any means, or tell you that you
shouldn't do it, infact you should do it, its a lot of fun and great
perplexing headache for a while, all i'm trying to say is that you should
think about either buying a production environment, or you should really
start learning yourself some advanced OS and lots of layer 7...
Just my $.02

Now there's a contradiction. ;-)
Anyways, I do agree with Alex though. Setup and maintenance of a five nines
server is non-trivial. You might look into one of the cheap hosting services
that use VMs to start with. If you out-grow that, it's pretty easy to
migrate your VM to iron. A buddy of mine just joined http://www.linode.com
and seems to really like it.
Having said that, I would STRONGLY suggest you ditch the whole XAMP, WAMP,
MAMP, WTF? they call it these days. Setup VirtualBox (it's free and cross
platform). Then setup a VM to be as close to EXACTLY as your production
environment as possible (sans hardware specs of course). I mean, same
distro, same tools, same versions, same configs, same directory structures.
Develop on that. Setup a repository (subversion is easy, well supported and
battle tested). Then just do an export from SVN to your PROD box.
I have some code snippets that you may find useful here:
http://daevid.com/content/examples/snippets.php
(And the first person that gives me grief that the page doesn't work in some
obscure browser like Safari or something I will bitch-slap. I *know* this. I
don't CARE. This is what happens when you use a Framework - and why I have
such distain for them. Ceiton went (.)(.) up and so now I'm stuck with
minified code in German no less. Use Firefox or IE, or change your
user-agent string to trick the page if you insist on using
Chrome/Safari/Opera/etc. .... or don't go to the page at all, it's no sweat
off my ____ )
So I digress... back on task...
You also should setup a test VM too. So deploy from DEV to TEST first, let
someone (preferably besides yourself) hammer away at that, and once you feel
it's stable -- in a few days or week -- push to PROD. You have to let the
code 'bake' on test to make sure there are no regression bugs or new bugs.
I work for a company now where the CTO (by default since it's his company
;-) ) constantly pushes to PROD too early IMHO. It's bitten us more than
once. He's so eager to get the new features in front of customers, he
doesn't see the potential damage it's doing to the reputation. Granted our
customers are pretty forgiving, but still, I would prefer to see a longer
DEV-TEST-PROD cycle...

Actually, there is no statement in PHP that can return data from
MongoDB as object (CMIIW). Data are returned as array.
You can convert this array to object using (object).
Look an example at
http://www.richardcastera.com/blog/php-convert-array-to-object-with-stdclass
$posts = (object) $mongo->find();
echo 'Id: ' . $posts->Id;

Hi Everyone
I am trying to load an HTML book into mySQL. The book was distributed with
each chapter being it’s own HTML file.
The only way I know how to open a file is by specifying the file name. Such as:
$myFile = "B01C001.htm";
$lines = file($myFile);
foreach ($lines as $line_num => $theData) {
Is there a way PHP will open each file in the directory ending in “.htm”, one
file at a time, without me specifying the file name?
When the file is open I need the FOREACH (above) to parse the content which
ends with an “INSERT INTO” for a mySQL table.
Thank you in advance for any help you are able to give me.

Why don't u solve it by iterating through all files and getting their filenames

Look at the manual pages for glob and readdir - both will do what you need.

opendir/closedir and readdir/rewinddir functions come to mind, you can
easily iterate through files in a directory that way...

You can use opendir() and readdir() to get the filenames one by one.

I am reading a csv file into an array. The csv file.
users.csv file contents:
w12345678,a
w23456789,b
w34567890,c
$csvfilename = "users.csv";
$handle = fopen($csvfilename, "r");
if($handle) {
while (($line =
fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
$arrUsers[] =
$line;
}
fclose($handle);
}
When I echo out the elements in the elements in the array $arrUsers I get:
Array
Array
Array
foreach ($arrUsers as $user){
echo $user . "<br />";
}
I can't figure out why the word Array is replacing the actual data.
