There was a thread just a few days ago on this forum about this...
So, search the archives for really good answers first.
Probably the first question you have to ask yourself is where/when to
filter? On input, before output, some other weird time?
The filter itself is fairly simple. You get your $words from somewhere,
like a database or file or maybe you could put a hidden microphone in the
PHB's office. That way, you'd have the words he's most likely to try when
he tests your filter. :-)
Then, you iterate through that list of words and do something not unlike
this:
while (list(,$word) = each($nasties)){
$text = pregi_replace($word, '&%#@$^', $text);
}
Odds are really good I got the pregi_replace arguments wrong -- I usually
do, and then I have to go read http://php.net/pregi_replace

Last time I checked, about six months ago?, if you dug around on
http://php.net you could still find the old survey and the various
suggestions that sucked worse than PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.
Students of history may wish to dig for that and archive it somewhere.
Students of profanity, ditto :-)

You might also want to throw in a check for !isset($fieldname), either
before the check for empty() or concurrent with it.

I would try:
if (isset($fieldname) && empty($fieldname)){
// do something here with the variable
} else {
$fieldname="na";
} // if (isset($fieldname) && empty($fieldname))

I setup IPlanet Web Server Enterprise Edition 4.1 on a PC. I've got an
example of PHP which is the one I'm using to test it. When it should execute
the php file called from the main page it seems to download it instead of
executing it. It all worked right with IIS and PWS. The PHP extension es
linked to PHP.EXE, but.....sorry...could you tell me how to setup Shell CGI
directories...?? I'm quite new in all this. When I fill the CGI field on
iPlanet I get a Doctor Watson error, so what am I doing wrong? Why does it
work on PWS and fails with iPlanet??
Thank you all for your help.

To follow up:
This is definitely the most low-tech (read reliable) way to do it.
Just to clarify what Jørg is saying, create a frameset with two
horizontal frames. The upper frame should be set to a height of "0",
or "*", whatever your preference. The bottom frame should be given a
height of "100%". Turn off borders etc. on your frames, and the
casual user will not see any indication that there is a frameset. You
can also use this technique to maintain JavaScript state between
pages -- letting the upper frame store the objects values as you move
around from page to page. But this should definitely cloak the true
nature of the URL that is being seen.
However, be aware that people will have problems with bookmarks to
these pages. You can, if you want, create a "self-framing" javascript
around bottom frame, such that if the bottom frame is loaded outside
the cloaking frameset, it creates a frameset from scratch around
itself. That's most elegant.

Surely you can't hide the url the browser requests. the best you can do is
hide where that browser gets it's content from ... why not include()?

If you include a forreign url using the fopen etc. functions you must parse

It just makes me wonder how 'advanced' you need to be to right click and
select 'view properties'.
(Or a similar simple action when using netrape)
A frame also has some drawbacks, most important one being that a user,
wherever he is on your site, always bookmarks the frame. It's something that
would piss me off :) (Making me work, right click to find the real url I
want to bookmakr, etc.)
DHTML can do something like you want, but its complicated and not standard.
(You can load the contents of URL A in a hidden frame, then replace the
contents of the current document with the contents of the hidden frame.)
Just forget about the whole idea already, each individual page should have
an unique url, and that's the way it's supposed to be.

How the heck do you build a dynamic site without URL variables,
cookies, or POST variables?

You could, for example, use a 404 handler. Assume your site,
www.yoursite.com, has an existing virtual directory /myapp. However this
directory is empty, and directory browsing id forbidden. For this folder
you setup a 404 handler that will be called by the web server whenever a
folder or page cannot be found.
Then you format your urls like this:
http://www.yoursite.com/myapp/<PHPSESSID>/<theapp>.php/param1/param2/param3/
This URL does not exist and will be passed to the 404 handler. Within the
404 handler, parse the url, extract the session id and parameters, and
execute the <theapp>.php file.
Just as an example,

Search phpbuilder.com for an article called "Writing dynamic pages with

One way would be to use the url path.
Http://script.php/these/are/variables/passed/to/php
You fool the searchengine, it thinks 'script.php' is a directory and its
getting a file called 'php', but actually you're calling 'script.php' with
'/these/are/variables/passed/to/php' as parameters.
Hi people,
I apologize that this question might not be quite relevant to the list purpose and it
is more to do with mysql though. But I thought it is quite basic problem that no so
complex db issue so I just give it a go. Anyway, get into my problem.

I have a table as shown below and when I tried to run the query ( direct at Mysql db,
not from a php page) :

I got an error said:"ERROR 1136: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1"

Jack,
Your table have 12 columns, and you are trying to insert without specify in which
columns, in sort that you should insert 12 values.
Try:
INSERT INTO Hoteldetail (HotelName,HotelLocation, HotelCountry, HotelPostcode,
HotelTelephone,Hotelfax,HotelURL, HotelContactFirstName, HotelContactLastName,
HotelRoomProvided, HotelEmail) VALUES ('test', 'thai', 'thai', '12', '11', '124', '',
'firstname', 'LastName', 'RoomProvided', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');

I was trying to get dBase functions to work a couple of months ago. I
activated the relevant line in php.ini (i can't remember which and I can't
access the php.ini at the moment) which should have worked. I had to take it
back out again as every php page hit was generating an error on the dll
(php_dbase.dll?) saying it wasn't a recognised resource or somesuch.
I asked the list but got no response. If the dBase facility simply doesn't
work it would be nice to know.
I'm now using MySQL but our back office systems are still in dBase so an
answer would still be helpful.
Sorry not to answer your question very well. If you can get it to work
please let me know how.

Hi!
When calling the php4 code below, sometimes the browser receives
-the "HTML estandar text"
-sometimes the "Text generated from PHP" (but NEVER both!)
-and ocassionaly the error:
"Warning: fopen("php://stdout","w") - Bad file descriptor in
/home/sites/site74/web/_proc/pruebas/stdout-test.php on line 7
unable to open device"
<html>
<body>
<p>HTML estandar text</p>
<?php
$fd = fopen ("php://stdout", "w") or die("unable to open device");
fwrite ($fd, "\nText generated from PHP");
fclose ($fd);
?>
<p>HTML estandar text...</p>
</body>
</html>
You can test in http://www.lanzarotedigital.com/_proc/pruebas/stdout-test.php
(reload several times to see results).
Can you help? Thanks a lot. Ruben.

I've got a nice browsecap.ini file from php4win.de.
You can then simply use get_browser() [ listed under Miscellaneous functions]

Hi,
I've attempted to add RC4 encryption / decryption
facility in PHP. It's been tested on PHP4.
It handles all the XORing and conversions while
encrypting and decrypting also all urlencoding and
decoding. It's been pretty fast also.
I've written a tutorial on it, whatever it is :
http://www.devhome.net/php/tutorials/230101.html
It can be downloaed in TAR's and ZIP's from
PHPClasses, or from devhome.net
http://www.devhome.net/php/downloads/rc4crypt.zip
http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/browse.html/package/146
Check Out http://devhome.net for more goodies!

Hi,
I'm creating a little app whereby people will be able to create a simple
site for themselves (maybe 10 html pages).
here's the problem:
say their company is called "companyname" and my site is called
"www.mysite.com" i'd like their site to be located at
"http://www.mysite.com/companyname"
Is there a way i can do this without creating indivual folders for each
company.I'd like the whole creation process to be automated.
I'm sure the ftp functions in php would allow for the generation of new
folders for each,but since all content/style etc. will be pulled from a DB
it's seems to me a little pointless having all these folders with the same
php page in each.essentially i'd like a php script to run automatically each
time taking what looks like a folder name and making a call to the db using
this name as a variable.
easy,difficult or impossible?
thanx,
adrian
Yes, it can be done.
No it's not easy.
No, it's not advisable.
Mixing content like that is a recipe for disaster.
If you feel you absolutely must do it without creating dirs, consider
putting the content of the pages in a database.

hi
you can do that by assigning custom error pages if you use apache.
if you have access to the hhtp.conf place this in it :
ErrorDocument 404 /redirect.php
is you can't access httpd.conf you can hope that you are allowed to
overide it by a .htaccess....
in redirect.php you need to parse the $REDIRECT_SCRIPT_URI
to know what the user wanted to see.....
also you have to send a header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");. otherwise
apache will ad 404 by itself an IE will display it's stupid
own errormessages....

Hiyah,
It Depends on your web server. If you're using Apache then you can
do it with a few lines in your config file using mod_rewrite.
Something similar to:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/(.*) /scripts/$2 [E=companyname:$1]
</IfModule>
Which given a url such as http://yoursite.com/mycompany/index.php
should (I've not tested it) call /scripts/index.php with the
environment variable 'companyname' set to 'mycompany'. You then
use this in all your SQL queries.

Try either:
?>
<input type="hidden" name="select" value="<?php echo $select; ?>"
<?php
OR
printf ("input type=\"hidden\" name=\"select\" value=\"%s\">",
$select);

hey,
in your form do this:
<?php
$num = count($select);
for($i = 0;$i <$num;$i++){
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"select[]\" value=\"$select[$i]\">
}
?>
then on the nex page use the same code i.e:
$num = count($select);
for($i = 0;$i <$num;$i++){
print $select[$i] . "<br>";
}
g'luck.

ummmm ... $select is an array .. so echo $select will just produce
"array" ..

If you don't put it in a session var, and need to transport it you can use
f. x. :
<input type=hidden name='user_selections' value='<?=implode( "||",
$select )?>'>
This puts double pipe-chars between the array variables. You can later (when
u need to use the vars again) use: $select = explode( "||",
$user_selections );
to put it into an array again.

Use cron for this - put the following in your crontab ("crontab -e") to run a
script everyday at midnite:
0 0 * * * lynx -source http://www.server.com/script_to_run_every_night.php
man crontab will tell you how to run on different days, etc.

If you're running on a unix-type system you can set up a cron job for this.
If you're running on Windows you may be able to do something via the task
scheduler, but I'm not sure about this.

Hi
I'm trying to split a string into an array but keep getting the following
message:
Warning: unexpected regex error (13) in z:/www_root/staff.php on line 34
The code is just
$query_string = split("+",$search);
where $search is from a form.
Any clues??

Just to explain the error -
split() takes a regular expression for its first argument; '+' is a
special character for regular expressions, and is not valid by
itself. That's why you're getting an error. For more info on regular
expressions, there have been links to good tutorials that pop up from
time to time on this list; also, I think there are a few references
mentioned in the online docs for the ereg_ and preg_ functions. You
can also get the O'Reilly book 'Mastering regular expressions.'
That being said, though, explode() is probably a better function to
use here. If you don't need the functionality of regexps, explode()
is faster.

Sorry for it isnt PHP related, but maybe someone can answer or point where
to look
I have some disagreement with one person about method="post"... Is this
possible and good use as action html files: for example - > process form
data to other page via html...
Cant find answer nowhere... always are only server side form handler...
AnnA
Here is the difference between method="post" and method="get" - "get" passes
the variables on the url (ie script.php?var1=foo&var2=foobar) and "post" passes
them behind the scenes. They both have the same effect. The difference is that
if a user reloads the page with a "get" request it reloads without any noticable
effect to the user, on the other hand, a reload on a "post" request will pop up
the "You must repost the previous form. [ OK ] [ Cancel ]" message.

I think you are asking if you can use client side JavaScript to handle a form.
www.irt.org has some good examples of this in their JavaScript FAQ section.
Try http://developer.irt.org/script/form.htm#10.3
for "Interactions between forms in different frames or windows"

Check all of your table widths (use percentages or a width of around
550) and validate your HTML.

Your content is causing the page to scroll horizontally. It has
nothing to do with PHP or any browser settings.

Hi All
I have tried to get this to work but it does not produce any output in the
browser - why
$i = 1;
while ($i)
{
if(connection_aborted())
break;
echo $i;
echo "<BR>";
$i++;
sleep(1);
//usleep(1000);
}
It turns out that the sleep and usleep does not return as far as I can tell.
If I use usleep the wait time parameter have no affect on program execution
??
Tried this on both Windows and Linux.
Benny
I have to add that I am using the latest PHP version.
It was Windows and Linux servers I was talking about.
usleep work in the way that it return right away without any sleep time.

Use imap_fetchstructure(). It returns a pretty large array, so you'll probably
want to spend some quality time with the documentation and print_r() getting
all of the details.
One nice thing if you're making a webmail interface is that you won't need to
worry too much about mime-types - those can be passed through to the browser,
which can figure out anything from text/plain to video/quicktime.
I'd like to stop using sybase entirely, but that's a discussion for
another day, here's the actual issue I'm having.
An old site we've had for a while stopped working today after we upgraded
to PHP 4.0.4PL1. We have a .shtml page doing a virtual include on two php
pages (banner rotations, etc). The php pages work fine if they are called
by themselves, but when included in an SSI manner, they cause a segfault.
In order to track this down, I looked at the php files we were incluing
through SSI. Turns out that the error went away when I changed
sybase_connect to sybase_pconnect. So here's the complete list.
Apache segfaults (page contains no data) when sybase_connect is called in
a php page included through SSI, but sybase_pconnect works just fine. I
know this because I used die() before and after the sybase_connect, and
the segfault *only* occured when I tried to die after making the sybase
connection.
This brings me to believe there is a bug somewhere in the sybase_connect
code.
Fixed in the recent cvb? Ideas?

Is there a way to remove all cookies so matter what path they were set as
long as it was from me (ex. in my parent directory). i need this because i
was screwing around with setting cookies in different paths but now i cant
get rid of one.
Thanks!

If you are using Netscape, go into Edit - Preferences - Advanced, and
disable cookies. Save that change. Then go back in and re-enable
them. There is a side effect, _all_ cookies will be deleted.
or
Exit Netscape. Find your cookies.txt file, and edit it with your
favorite text editor. Be careful if you change the length of stuff,
but I've had good luck removing individual cookies by delete line.
I am sure there are equivalent operations for IE, but I can't tell you
how to do them.

Hi,
I wonder whether anyone can shed some light onto this for me...
Say I have this example insert:
$sql = "INSERT INTO songs (id,name,url) VALUES
('','Foobar','test.php?id=<id>)";
The id is autoincrement so obviously left blank, yet I'd like to put it into
the url where <id> is.
How do I go about dragging back the id even though it is being created (I
suppose) while the statement is being made -- is it possible or do I have to
do something hackish?
Sorry if that's a simple problem...
Regards,
Robert Morrissey
If you are using mysql as your database, you can use mysql_insert_id.
See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php for more info

Hello everyone:
I started playing around with some php scripts a while ago and became
hooked on it. I have a few books but I'm afraid I'm a learn by example
kind of person and get stuck at times.
While working on my wife's site I made headers, footers, navigation and
a little MySQL database for her yarns with a small database
administration module and so on. The thing is that I would like to have
the site divided into directories by subject and have the same template
load every time , but my logic tells me that I have to have an
index.php3 per directory and have to do this process every time I add a
subject. I would like to spend my time working on one document and add
ifs, whiles and elses than doing that.
I have read most of the class.Fast.Template, fast.Template stuff, but
if there is an example on how to do this I'm missing it. As far as I can
tell I can only create one document and I can't find how to manage URLS
to other documents with the same template
I wish I could get help on this!

I'm not sure if I fully understand what you want to do, but I don't see
why you need a seperate index.php for each of your directories. Can't the
index.php script pull content from any number of different directories?,
eg:
index.php?page=dir1/stuff
index.php?page=dir2/stuff
index.php/page=dir3/stuff
Sorry if I've missed the point

If you want to see something in print, there's a good example of
FastTemplate's usage found in the "Professional PHP Programming" book
by Wrox. Between that and the online tutorials, (see below) I was
able to get up to speed.

Well the thing is that there is probably a few ways to do this and I
thought of the way you just presented to me. I can see a redirect to
page=Yarns/stuff. What is stuff by the way? Where do I find this script?
My way of doing this (novice way), is I made my index.php and added
variables to call the header, navigation, content and footer. The
content is loaded with a variable like include "content.html"; not much
to it but at this point is useless if I have to do this inside every
directory (eg. Yarns/index.php3) add all the variables and also place a
content.html in every directory. I can see I'm doing it all wrong now.
All I need is to be able to learn how to load everything from a script
and how to call the script with a URL to the directory.
eg. <? if (Yarns/)
{
include "header,nav, fetch content,footer";
else "?";
}
?>
<a href="http://mysite.com/Yarns/"> Yarns</a>
Right! I can see this would not work, because I'm missing some things.
Don't worry if you got it wrong, I don't know if you did! I wish it
where this simple anyway.
Thanks!

You can change the value max_execution_time in php.ini, or your apache
configuration files. If you only want to increase or disable the limit in a
single script, try set_time_limit().
put this line
set_time_limit(500) ;
at the beginning of your script if you want to enlarge execution time for
500 seconds.

There is a nice program WinSCP at http://winscp.vse.cz

You can use Emacs with PSGML package. It is very productive environment,

Because it is not compatible with XML syntax. Following is incorrect in
XML, because '<' has very restricted usage:
<tag>
<% echo Date("d.m.Y") %>

If you use <?php instead, it is perfect XML and you can use any XML

Hey -
I'm using PHP 4.0.4pl1 w/ Apache 1.3.14 on Solaris 2.6.
PHP was compiled with GD (1.8.3), jpeg (6b), png (1.0.8), and freetype
(1.3.1)
I'm trying to overlay text on a existing png graphic, which works, but the
color depth seems to be getting reduced. Page info in Netscape shows that
the button is a 16bit "TrueColor" image, but the resulting image is much
lower in visual colordepth (if not actual color depth).
Check out..
http://www.umich.edu/~liamr/button.png
vs
http://www.umich.edu/~liamr/blue.png
(the png it uses to generate that file)
Any ideas on why it does this or how to fix it?

GD's png support only uses indexed color palettes, so you're limited to
8bit color.
One possible option is to use php_imlib, which uses Imlib2 instead of GD
for manipulating images. Since Imlib2 does everything in 32bit ARGB
space, it'll do what you want. What I'm not sure about is if Imlib2 will
build on Solaris..

Hi,
I am trying to dynamically create WML pages using PHP and mysql. I can get
the PHP to output WML however I am having problems with postfields. They do
not seem to be populating the $HTTP_POST_VARS array.
Has anyone come across this before and no why this is the case. I could
create the query string myself and create links in the code but as far as I
can tell the postfield should send variables through to the script.
TIA

I wrote a message earlier about sybase_connect having issues, but it
appears it's more than that. We had also recently upgraded to mysql
3.23. After downgrading mysql, sybase went back to normal in all
cases. Can't say I can explain it, but that's what happened. Does this
mean mysql 3.23 is simply not supported in php 4.04PL1?

Hi,
i try to use the shared memory functions on a SuSE Linux 7.0 server with
Apache and mod_php4 out of the box installed with yast. For shmop i need to
configure PHP with --enable-shmop with isn't enabled in this installation.
I know how to enable this when compiling and installing the source of
mod_php4, what is to difficult for me, i think. But how to enable it in the
SuSE-RPM-Distribution? I found a mod_php4.spec in /usr/src/packages/SPECS in
wich the configuration options are, butr i don't know how to use it to
install this RPM with my own configuration. Can anyone help me?
Sincerly,

Im a little brain fried today and I have a silly question. I have a
script (imagine that huh?) that I want to pull some code out of and put
in a function that is contained in a seperate file. The function however
inlcudes some lines with $PHP_SELF in a link (a href). When I remove the
code from the running script and include it in a function file seperate
from the script the function works fine as far as generating links etc,
but when the link that includes $PHP_SELF is selected, the file of the
running script is not passed.
So in other words, when I have my function code in my running script, it
generates some links that limit a query on a mysql database and pass
data to PHP_SELF, the passed URL looks like this (for example):
http://69.02.217.123/php4/php.exe/searchitem.php?sql=SELECT+%2A+FROM+items+WHERE+LCASE%28partnumber%29+LIKE+%27x%25%27+ORDER+BY+partnumber+&offset=100&numpage=3
But, when I move the code to create the links externally into a
function, the link I end up with is like this:
http://69.02.217.123/?sql=SELECT+%2A+FROM+items+WHERE+LCASE%28partnumber%29+LIKE+%27x%25%27+ORDER+BY+partnumber+&offset=100&numpage=3
Can someone shed some light on the best way to handle this?

I've been charged with trying to find out how something
like this can be done if it is at all in fact possible. The info
I'm hoping to get is what would be involved and where I
can find information on it. I'm not asking for code or
examples unless you really want to provide them. :P
Anyways, what we need to be able to do is the following:
* Have a user be able to authenticate on a *trusted* partner
website that resides on a server external to our network.
* Have that external website securely transmit information
(preferrably not on the URL :p) with regards to the
authentication information on that user; the auth info
will be the same on both servers. This would allow the
user streamlined access to the areas on our website that
would otherwise require the user to log in without forcing
them to do so.
* The other aspect to the above that we also need to address is
when a user signs up for the first time on the trusted partner's
site, that signup information should be securely transmitted to
us when/if the user attempts to access our site so we could set
them up in the database and authenticate them by nature of the
above.
Is something like this possible? What would be involved? Is
there something that is already built into Apache/PHP that
would make it easier? Someone suggested XML database transfer,
but I've never heard of XML being anything other than a markup
language much less capable of storing data? It was also suggested
that we use something like public key/private key but am not sure
how that would work...
We are using:
Apache 1.3.12
PHP 4.0.3pl1
PHP4 Session based (not HTTP basic) authentication using mySql
to store the ID/PW
I realize the security implications of something like this and have
brought them up myself. However, it's something that is being
pushed and so I've got to look into it (and I don't even really know
where to start) so please don't say it's stupid because I already know.
:) Is something like this possible? What's involved? Where can I go
to learn more?
Thanks!

Have the user log in to/authenticate against the first server.
That server generates a key, based on combining the username and a private
key known to the authenticating server and your servers.
Pass that back to your servers in a URL - cookie wouldn't work, but the key
in the URL should be sufficiently garbled so as to not be decipherable
easily.
Have your server decipher the key based on the private key shared between
the servers. You should then have the user name, which you can then use
internally to your system however you need to. (double check that username
IS valid, for starters).
You might also want to search google for info on how microsoft's passport
service works - but I think this is cookie based, and is limited in its
functionality.

One other thing that I forgot to include in my previous message as
a concern of mine and it relates to the above. If we did it that way,
someone who was listening to a port on the client's server, or who
came by later to use the same machine the client was using previously
to do this could get this somehow encrypted information and log in
as the previous user since we wouldn't require authentication because
said authentication would have already been done on the trusted
website. So essentially a 3rd party could concievably obtain this
information that was posted with the URL (which is why I didn't
want to pass this information via GET) to access our site and wreak
havoc. I definitely want to minimize this possibility.

Ok, I'll check it out. Thanks!

Also, you can check the value of $HTTP_REFERER for the ip of the trusted
host, to further eliminate the potential.

How do you get the IP out of $HTTP_REFERER? As far as I know,
that only tells you the referring url, not the ip address. And couldn't
that value be messed with?

This is correct. But you could extract the hostname and do a dns-lookup, if
you wish. But the hostname should suffice, shouldn't it?

Sure it can. It is sended by the browser, so the client (or proxy-servers)
can maniulate or delete it. Anyway, it's from the wrong side of the trust
boundary.

One maniac alone can do what 20 together cannot
Here is an idea I had, but will require that all the sites in question
maintain very accurate clock synchronization, but doesn't require any
database writes. It assumes that the passwords are stored using MySQL's
PASSWORD("") function.
$user_table="website.authorized_users";
$now=gmmktime();
$interval=300;
$rnow=$now-($now%$interval);
$persist=6;
function auth_hash($user,$pass){
global $user_table,$rnow;
$q='SELECT PASSWORD("'.$pass.'") as p1, password as p2 FROM '.
$user_table.' WHERE username="'.$user.'"';
$r=mysql_query($q);
$row=mysql_fetch_array($r);
if($row[p1]==$row[p2]){
$retval=mhash(MHASH_MD5,$user.$row[p2].$rnow);
}else{
$retval=FALSE;
}
return $retval;
}
function auth_logon($key,$user){
global $user_table,$rnow,$persist,$interval;
$q='SELECT password FROM '.$user_table.' WHERE username="'.$user.'"';
$r=mysql_query($q);
$row=mysql_fetch_array($r);
for($i=0;$i<=$persist;$i++){
$str=$user.$row[password].($rnow-($interval*$i));
$hash=mhash(MHASH_MD5,$str);
if($key==$hash){
return TRUE;
}
}
return FALSE;
}

Should probably put the whole thing.
Why does this produce a parse error (I know that include statements do weird
things to if structures):
if($username != "") {
<code>
<code>
<code>
} else {
include("file.php3");
}
Which line is producing the error??

Hi,
Can anyone point me in the right direction ? :
I have inherited some PHP code and the problem is that it times out of the
management session after 10 minutes. Do I need to change code or php system
variables?
Thanks v much
Simon

I have a file, lets call it genericfile.php, containing a
require("a_specific_file");
Now, I want to use (thats include) genericfile.php in many of my other
.php-files in the WHOLE directorytree. The problem is that
"a_specific_file" can't be found trough genericfile.php if this is
included someplace other in the directory tree.
How can I tell php not to make defaultpath to the toplevel require()
funcion call?

Hi,
I have developed a small php program which creates a directory on a remote
ftp site, which works fine. The problem is that when the directory is creted
it displays the message:
Warning: ftp_mkdir: MKD command successful.
How can i get rid of this warning message?
Thanks
Simon
p.s. i dont know if it helps but the related code is
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, "User", "Password");
// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
echo "Ftp connection has failed!";
echo "Attempted to connect ";
die;
} else {
# echo "Connected for user ";
}
$temp = ftp_mkdir($conn_id, $uploadtag);

Yo!
I'm playing a little bit with sessions for the moment and I get a really scary
errormessage:
Warning: open(/tmp\sess_1b7577b36d874741ed1e74b4bead0dfd, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in
h:\program\apache\htdocs/boa/sessionTest.php on line 5
Warning: open(/tmp\sess_1b7577b36d874741ed1e74b4bead0dfd, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in
Unknown on line 0
Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting
of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0
I understand that there is a folder missing somewhere (tmp) and I tried to create one
in the apache directory, but it still does not work. I'm using Win2k proffesional with
an apache webserver and I don't have a clue what changes I should do to php.ini.
Please help!
