I will freely admit I have seen and peeked into "wide open" websites in the
past, either through server misconfiguration or faulty scripts. But I have
never gone much further than maybe figuring out what was wrong and sending
an email to the owner. Most people are pretty receptive if you just send
them a kindly worded email.

I disagree. If Codeboy had sent him an email describing what was wrong,
instead of this "Killroy was here" stuff, rswfire *maybe* should be glad.
An intruder leaving small traces shoving that he's been inside your system,
is IMHO not something to be glad about or grateful for. I know that is the
general consensus, a sort of "pride between hackers": Show that you were
there but do no other harm. But it's bull. They're not heros, they're every
bit as criminal as the rest.
Sorry for the harsh tone but this subject is really one that upsets me.

I agree
fpassthru doesn't include the code in your php code. In just dumps the file
to output as it runs. Anything defined in PHP (inluding variables and
functions) in the file passed through will not be available to the calling
program. You need include();

I was using the command "passthru", which is supposed to pass the *output*
of an external program through to standard out. In other words, let's say I
wanted people to be able to see how long my system was up, I could have a
PHP program display other information and then call the Linux command
"uptime" and pass the result to the user's browser. For the application
that I'm working on, I need to use "passthru" (or possibly "system") rather
than having a line or two of output passed back to the PHP program because
the external program I'm using will produce up to hundreds of pages of
output.
>Anything defined in PHP (inluding variables and

I want the variables in the PHP program to be available to the external
program through the shell environment of the forked external program.
try this first:
if((strlen($pick1)==strlen(pick2))and($pick1==$pick2))
echo 'they are equal';
else
echo 'they aren\'t at least in length';
However, it seens to me as a very slicky style ... whay not to make them
somehow different .... let's say using an array, or having a letter instead
of 0 ...

Subject: [PHP] comparisons
Hello,
I'm having a rather strange problem. I'm trying to compare two values.
"01" and "1". The variables names that they are submitted under are pick1
and pick2. i use the following code
$mypick1 = strval($pick1);
$mypick2 = strval($pick2);
I then perform the following comparison:
if ($mypick1 == $mypick2)
{
$error = 1;
$errorstring[1] = "Your first pick and second pick are the same.";
}
However, I get the error that they are equal.
If I call the comparison as foloows:
if(strval($mypick1) == strval($mypick2)
{
$error = 1;
$errorstring[1] = "Your first pick and second pick are the same.";
}
I still get the error. Anyone have any ideas? These two valuse mustbe
evaluated as different.
Thanks in advance
Curtis
Yes, or you can use a software written in PHP such as phpMyAdmin (search
google) that will be easier , and online..
mySQL is good enough, and believe me, easier then Oracle.
the perfect couple (and our best friends) are: Linux, Apache, PHP, mySQL ...
this is how most of us live.

instead of writing to you the code I'll give you an idea:
1. you open the file and read it line-by-line assigning it to an array,
2. you loop that array parsing it line by line changing it's values with
RegEx the way you want.
3. you open the same file and, looping the array writing it down overriding
any existing data in the file.
You are now set.

I agree with Jason,
Are you guys nuts?
He was just trying to be cool, and in order to be cool he needed to mention:
THAT WAS ME!!!
He's not a hacker (hey, no offence Jonathon) ... a real hacker will never
post any threaten message on a 5000 users mailing list. A beginner(amateur)
hacker however will.
Don't worry about him Phillip. And you Jonathon erase all these files and
contact Phillip *personally* telling him more what his security wholes are,
so he'll be grateful to you.
Just came to my mind: my Hacking story:
I once had a website which was some sort of search engine. The users were
submitting their sites and we were validating for credibility. (no fancy
homepages ect....)
One guy submitted a site which when I was validating gave a JavaScript
alert. That alert had a button which when you click calls other alert and so
on ... my explorer had frozen (on my old win98 1-ed), and I had to reboot
my PC completely losing all unsaved data.... lots of it... of a project I
was working for a while...
Man, I got mad.
I started my PC again, went to the validation section of my site and, looked
at the password he inputted during the submission of his site. Guess what?
It matched the password he had on his angelfire site!!!
I f***ng moved all he got up there in folder called
:"Do_not_do_this_anymore"!
.....uff..... what e relieve....
I never contacted him of course, but I wasn't even a hacker.
my sweet story .... "god I love to tell'em"

One would probably guess the URL of the site you were
working on was in the screenshots. You don't need to
"find" an IP address at that point.
Furthermore, Jonathan stated that he didn't "break into" your
system - you left phpMyAdmin *wide* open, which is frankly
asking for trouble. Imagine how much fun you'd have had if
someone with *malicious* intent had found it.
And lastly ... if he was *really* going to do anything, would
he really be so stupid as to leave his commonly-known pseudonym,
which can be (as you proved) easily traced back to himself?
I think this whole issue has been blown out of proportion enough
on the list now, and as it's no longer a PHP-related discussion
I suggest you move it to private mail.
And, try some valium for loss of sleep. :)

Just to clear things up, my only comments mentioned that this is silly and
calling someone a "hacker" publically is very bad, whether it's true or
false it's still very very bad. I wasn't the crackee or cracker. So,
regarding the above : s/Phillip/rswfire/g
No biggy ... this whole ordeal seems over.

then you are on the right way:
use SQL languages. They are fast, secure and reliable. Plus even easier to

Subject: [PHP] Preserve variables between page loads?
This may have crossed the list a bazillion times, but I couldn't really find
anything appropriate in the archives... maybe I just didn't look hard
enough.
In a MySQL app, I have the usual row of paging links at the bottom of the
page
and need to pass to the next iteration more variables than I can comfortably
url-encode in the hyperlink. If all these paging links were submit buttons I
could pass anything I wanted in hidden form fields, but since they're
hyperlinks I don't seem to have that option.
Is there a way to selectively preserve variables between iterations?
Something
like variables that are global to PHP, as opposed to being global within the
script?

you should be able to query the structure of the database in php/mysql. this
should then give you everything you need to build your create table
statement dynamically so you can build a black-box function that takes
source and target databases and table name. You can proably find the tables
in a database so your function becomes one call database copier.

I wan't to create a user tracking system on the web site, that I can use in PHP.
I've had a look at mod_rewrite, and would like to implemet something like the

I have a few scripts, say 'home', 'search', 'help', etc. and all are force
mapped onto PHP 4. If someone calls this scripts (without entering the site
through the front door), then they are sent back, set a user tracking value, and
sent back to the page. Before now, I have cookies and IP address for user
tracking. If someone could accept a cookie (I used a self-referring script to
check) then they are given a cookie, and they can be tracked. They can also be
tracked over many visits with a cookie.
If they don't then I make a note of their IP address, and their address is used.
With IP addresses, you can't record return visits, so it just tracks one visit.
With some ISP's they seam to use variying IP addresses, so then each page
checked for a valid user, they didn't find one, and forwarded then back to
'index' to set a user session, and come back. But they seamed (to the
server/PHP) to have different IP's over these steps, and the visitor was locked
into a HTTP Redirect cycle (until the broswer stop with a fail).
What I would like to do now is track the user with the URL. When someone calls
the site, (ether through the front door, or sent back to get an ID), they are
given an ID like so: 'KjsiHdbEyu8G645Dus96Sy54GD'. They are then sent to say,
http://localhost/KjsiHdbEyu8G645Dus96Sy54GD/home.
Using mod_rewrite, I can then get the tracking var (KjsiHdbEyu8G645Dus96Sy54GD),
and rewrite the URL to http://localhost/home, and call the script. I know this
is possible. Something like /^\/([a-zA-Z0-9]{80})\/(.*)/$1?$2/ could work for
the rewrite rule, but rather than use $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["QUERY_STRING"] to get
the var, as I use a GET vars for some functions, could I get a var which is sent
to Apache, and then PHP accesses the var from there, and the rest is as normal?
That's what I would prefer to do, but I'm not sure if it's possible (and
explained it well enough). If I had to do something like
/^\/([a-zA-Z0-9]{80})\/(.*)/$1?$2/ I would just have to develop to that instead.
Failing that, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
I have PHP3 and MySQL on Win98 and am trying to run a script that loops
through a file making process and it needs about 20 - 30 minutes to run. It
generates static HTML files based on content in a database. I've increased
Internet Explorer's timeout to allow for this but for some reason only about
half the processing is done before everything seems to just stop.
Does anyone know of a very basic way of executing a PHP script on a Win98
machine without the need for a browser? Or, another way of running this
script that will take some time and create some 22,000 files through the
process.
Thanks,
Martin.
I think there are timeouts on php as well:
This is taken from the php.ini file.
max_execution_time = 30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in
seconds
I hope this helps you, you can find php.ini in your windows directory.
If you are using a database, also check that for timeouts.
D.

I'm using a mySQL database but to be honest I think the only thing that was
timing out was the browser, since hacking the registry to eliminate that
timeout the only thing I can do is wonder why it only finishes half what it
is supposed to do.
I'll try it on a faster machine later - it's on a AMD K6-2/366 with 128mb
ram. I have a Athlon 900 that I could run it on but that's not a machine I
want to tinker too much with - will go for a trusty old 450 first.
Is it a surprise that it might take up to 20 or 30 minutes to build over
20,000 simple HTML files?

Something doesn't seem right here.
I've executed scripts that have taken 4 hours to complete in the past and
the only thing I had to set was:
set_time_limit(0);
Are you echoing anything to the screen, if not maybe you should after every
loop increment, you may also need to use the flush() command.
Hope this helps.

Maybe you shouldn't run your script through the browser. To me it sounds
like you're doing a one-time process that dosen't really send any output
back to the browser. Instead it saves all the generates html-files on disk,
right?
Try running:
php.exe <your script's name here>
or
php.exe /q <your script's name here>
to avoid the standard php-headers
- Carsten
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you don't want to run the script from the command line you can use
ignore_user_abort with set_time_limit(?) in the script to allow you to close
the browser and let it do its thing.

I'm building a demo shopping cart and have sorted out most things but

I have php work out subtotals by multiplying $quantity * $price ... this
works fine except that 14.95 * 2 comes out as 29.9 not 29.90. In other

hi all,
is there anything we should be aware of
if we like that our php/mysql pages
are working with an ssl-server ?
thank you
andre
I get the following on one of my pages,
Warning: Use of undefined constant month - assumed 'month' in
/usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/eastcoastbicycles.com/htdocs/index.php on line
121
Warning: Use of undefined constant mday - assumed 'mday' in
/usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/eastcoastbicycles.com/htdocs/index.php on line
122
Warning: Use of undefined constant year - assumed 'year' in
/usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/eastcoastbicycles.com/htdocs/index.php on line
123
and the offending lines are;
$month = $today[month];
$mday = $today[mday];
$year = $today[year];
So I change them to;
$month = $today['month'];
$mday = $today['mday'];
$year = $today['year'];
and the problem goes away... simple enough I suppose
but what baffles me is.....
This site ran error free before, only after adding "Phorum"
(anyone familiar with it?) do the original pages start to
return these errors. Even more strange is they only
return these error if one of the "phorum" pages is the
referring page.....
I was also getting a lot of stuff like 'undefined variable'
when doing;
if ($brand == 'nut') {
$item = "Chris King 2nut Headset";
}
So I changed it to;
if (isset($brand)) {
if ($brand == 'nut') {
$item = "Chris King 2nut Headset";
}
}
and it's fine, but again, I'd only get the error if one of the "phorum"
pages was the referring page.....
Any thoughts/insight, anyone?

here is come code (not exactly what you need) that sends an XML
file(variable) to an XML server, and then gets the XML response from
the server and writes it out to a file, returning the filename as the
function return for the php file to resume its processing of the file
in the XML parser (yet another function)
Tried to cut out totally irrelavent or site specific stuff, and added
a few quick comments. Hopefuly you can follow the logic.

here is some logic, I'm sure you can flesh out the code.
fopen -r the URL
read the results into a variable, fopen -w to write a local temp file
(if the parser you build actially requires a "file")
save it locally and pass the filename variable to your XML parser
function
if your parser can work from a variable, then just pass the read
variable to your parser.

Ok, yesterday I had problems parsing an XML from Nasdaq.
Thx to Matt these problems have been solved and I am know able to parse any
XML without problems (I hope).
But I have one question:
In order to parse an XML you have to tell your parser where to find the
document:
$xml_file = ''test.xml';
This works perfectly, but If you want to get the XML files from Nasdaq you
have to say
$xml_file =
http://quotes.nasdaq.com/quote.dll?page=xml&mode=stock&symbol=NETA;
This however doe not work !!!
Why? How can I overcome this problem?

Hi,
What is the best way to capture an email sent to a server so that I can copy
it and send it to a number of emails selected from a db. I can do the
scripting except for the capturing part (Presuming I have no idea when the
email is sent to the server)
Any links regarding this subject would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks
Ade
Ade,
If you're running Unix/Linux, I would recommend using
Procmail. It does the local delivery for mail. You
would setup processing rules and can work with copies
of emails for processing without disturbing delivery.

Here's one way to do it:
- You'll need to compile PHP as a cgi executable
(http://php.net/manual/en/install.commandline.php).
- If you are using sendmail you can set up an alias that will direct the email
to a program (you can get this same behavior with other mail delivery agents as
well).
- Have a PHP script that reads from standard input to get the email message
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php).
- From there you can do whatever you need to with the email.
If you need to parse the email into pieces and/or deal with HTML email,
attachments, etc. then you can check out the source code that runs
http://www.p3mail.com/ He has a number of libraries available that will help
take care of that.

I recently moved a site to a host that only supports PHP as a CGI, not
mod_php. I cannot seem to set any headers using the header() function, so I
can't set cookies either.
Where can I find additional documentation as to the differences between the
mod_php and CGI/commandline versions of PHP in apache?

libjpeg-devel-6b-13
libjpeg-6b-13
PHP source: php-4.0.4pl1
Apache source: apache_1.3.14
I installed the RPM's above and then started the recompile of PHP (the last
two lines I added for this option):
./configure \
--with-mysql \
--with-apache=../apache_1.3.14 \
--with-mcrypt \
--enable-track-vars \
--with-xml \
--with-curl \
--with-pspell \
--with-dom=/usr/include/libxml \
--with-gd \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib
Durring the configure process, I do see:
checking whether to include GD support... yes (static)
checking for gdImageString16 in -lgd... (cached) yes
checking for gdImagePaletteCopy in -lgd... (cached) yes
checking for gdImageColorClosestHWB in -lgd... (cached) yes
checking for compress in -lz... (cached) yes
checking for png_info_init in -lpng... (cached) yes
checking for gdImageColorResolve in -lgd... (cached) yes
checking for gdImageCreateFromPng in -lgd... (cached) yes
checking for gdImageCreateFromGif in -lgd... (cached) no
checking for gdImageWBMP in -lgd... (cached) yes
checking for gdImageCreateFromJpeg in -lgd... (cached) yes
checking for gdImageCreateFromXpm in -lgd... (cached) yes
checking whether to include FreeType 1.x support... yes
checking for T1lib support... no
Which leads me to believe the gd-1.8.3 RPM already has a link to the libjpeg
libraries. (BTW, I have tried clearing the config.cache just to make sure,
and it comes up fine even with a blank cache).
PHP copntinues and compiles fine with no errors. (make, make install)
Then I try and compile apache using the same configure script I always use:
SSL_BASE=../openssl-0.9.6 \
RSA_BASE=../rsaref-2.0/local \
EAPI_MM=../mm-1.1.3 \
./configure \
--enable-module=ssl \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--enable-shared=ssl \
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a \
--enable-module=vhost_alias \
--enable-module=rewrite
And durring the make process, I get:

Can someone give me some insight as to what I need to do? I have tried
compiling gd, libjpeg, etc. from sources and get worse results (PHP doesn't
see the ImageCreateFromJPEG function as well as most of the others that GD
should be including).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greg,
I've done this many a time and haven't ever been able
to do it from rpms. I install the gd stuff including
libjpeg and libpng into the same directory. In my
case it's /usr/local/gd. Then you should specify the
path like --with-gd=/usr/local/gd . This has always
worked for me.

You should be using: --with-jpeg-dir=/usr
Also make sure that you don't have the old gd.h from gd-1.3 lying around.
ie. locate gd.h and make sure you only have one. rpm -qa | grep gd

There will be a PHP BOF at the Nordu2001 (www.nordu.org) conference on
Thursday Feb.15 at the Stockholm City Conference Center room 355 from
17:00 to 18:00. You do not need to need to be registered for the
conference to attend the BOF.
Also, I am giving a full day PHP tutorial tomorrow (Tuesday Feb.13) from
09:00 to 17:00 here at Nordu2001. See http://www.nordu.org/NordU2001/
for details.

Hi,
I'm having a weird problem with a recently upgraded box.
Its a RedHat + PHP4.0.4pl1-3 + Apache-1.3.14-3 box (All packages were
installed from RedHat official RPMs)
I have a very simple form with enctype=multipart/form-data. This will allow
some users to upload files. This code was working perfectly with previous
versions and now that I've updated PHP and Apache I get he following:
After the submit, the script that receives field contents reports an extra
\r BEFORE the real field content, indicated by users on previous script
(with the form). With plain text fields it would be no problem, I can use
ltrim and discard the extra \r, but what happens with the file field is
more complicated, I can't trim this field, but with the extra \r it doens't
validate as a valid file.
I've seen a post very similar in phpbuilder.com with the same exact problem
and with the same exact versions of Apache/PHP. I don't exactly know if
this a PHP issue or Apache problem. Maybe some of you could enlighnten me
on this question.
TIA.

hi... i need some help...
currently i doing web base programming ( econsultant )using php, apache and mysql as
well... now i facing a problem which i need :
1) get time when consultant log on
2) get time when consultant log off
3) calculate how long for the specified consultant been log on to the web
4) accumulate all the time everyday
5) then multiple accumulate with working rate ( X ).
6.) finally output to web ( html form )
pls help !
thanks !
almost didn't respond to this given the wide dissemination and the
broad nature of the question
can't be done with any accuracy.
you could, create a session or uservariable... have that transmitted
with a screen refresh, or anytime your consultant moves within the
site resetting an internal timestamp.
failure to retransmit via refresh or movement within a specified time
would cause expirey, have a function that logs the expirey date and
perform your other functions from there (thats the easy part)
This doesn't prevent your consultant from keeping a browser window
open so that it can refresh. You could use javascipt code on your page
with a popup window where your consultant would have to press submt to
be logged in as online every so often, but the annoyance factor would
be absurd.
In short, try pounding out a base from whence to work from... you are
likely to get specific responses to specific questions or problems...
what you are currently asking for is a prepackaged solutions.

All I can tell is that there's a pain of calculating when the user leaves
the site.
Let's say his connection drops. What's then? How do you know he didn't spend
on that page 7 hours?
I think you should have a file included in every page he visits which, using
sessions, adds the TimeStamp to the database.
Then you can see - if session exists means he continues, if not then this is
the first time he is in.
Something like that.
Put all in the database and play with it later-on.
As of the rest, I think you can do it all. The only concern is for you to
accept that his last record is a hit of a page (or log-of button) and not
his closing window.

Subject: [PHP] Time in php problem....
hi... i need some help...
currently i doing web base programming ( econsultant )using php, apache and
mysql as well... now i facing a problem which i need :
1) get time when consultant log on
2) get time when consultant log off
3) calculate how long for the specified consultant been log on to the web
4) accumulate all the time everyday
5) then multiple accumulate with working rate ( X ).
6.) finally output to web ( html form )
pls help !
thanks !
I think you can do all of these using the session.
In your log on script, after validating his uid and pwd, insert a row
with current timestamp and his id.
Either during log off or session close insert another row with uid and
current time stamp. (This part I never done)
Rest is to manipulate the values the log table information. (may be
develop a admin screen, which manipulates the log table)
Hope this helps.

I have an include file foo.inc. I want to call a function that is in
another include file,say anotherfoo.inc, from the foo.inc.
//Foo.inc
include "c:\\...\\anotherfoo.inc";
//other code
//end of include
can I call an include from another include?
I tried the above but it fails opening the other include.
Should I have the
' "include"c:\\...\\anotherfoo.inc" '
in the file that includes the Foo.inc?

No, you can include what and where you want (provided it's valid PHP),
but if you use relative paths, the paths all have to be relativ to the
original file, the file that is called by the browser (or whatever you
use to call your scripts).

Yes, you can include foo.php which has another include in it and another and
another .... they will all appear to you as a one single file.
But, be careful though, do not reinclude them, or you'll create an infinite
loop.. use include_once instead

I've created a PHP script that is called from a form

typically a paragraph of text. It works fine,
however, for some reason, the apostrophy character
always gets emailed looking like this: /'

PHP is doing what it should to your form input. It automatically
performs "addslashes" to all form input so that the variables are
parsed correctly on the receiveing end.
do a "stripslashes" to get rid of it.
read the manual on these two and it will all be explained.

Yes and it's doing this via the magic_quotes_gpc setting which is
currently set to 'on' within the server. Read about this setting here :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#ini.magic-quotes-gpc
As stated by Dave, you want stripslashes() before mailing and
consequently, addslashes() adds them.

Hello,
I am new to MySql and I am trying to make a simple script get info from a
table. Can someone please look at the below code and tell me if they see
what is wrong? The error I get is: Couldn't execute query.
Code:
<?
// create connection
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","*****","*****")
or die("Couldn't make connection.");
// select database
$db = mysql_select_db("nasty_db", $connection)
or die("Couldn't select database.");
// create SQL statement
$sql = "SELECT keywords, text, ref_num
FROM tech
ORDER BY last_name ASC";
// execute SQL query and get result
$sql_result = mysql_query($sql,$connection)
or die("Couldn't execute query.");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {
$keywords = $row["keywords"];
$text = $row["text"];
$ref_num = $row["ref_num"];
echo "Keywords: $keywords<BR>\n";
echo "Text: $text<BR>\n";
echo "Refrence Number: $ref_num<BR>\n";
}
// free resources and close connection
mysql_free_result($sql_result);
mysql_close($connection);
?>

For this sort of thing, replacing statements such as :
or die("Couldn't execute query.");
With :
or die(mysql_error());
Would have instantly told you the problem, in nice human readable format.

Hi;
I just ran into the following error while doing maintenance on my RedHat box:
>>>
Unsatisfied dependencies for mod-php3-mysql-3.0.8-2: mod-php3 >= 3.0.8
<<<
What does this mean and how do I fix it?
TIA,
BenO
This should be a quick one, but I can't seem to wrap my brain around it.
All I need to do is replace leading or trailing spaces with underscores. If
there is spaces in between words, leave them alone.
Suggestions?

You're right, the palette only holds 256 colors. The reason for this
is that GD was originally written for GIFs only. JPEGs were added on
later, and then PNGs were put in as a drop-in replacement for GIFs
(Patent issues). But the library was never extended to support high
color.
If you're using Unix, one alternative could be php_imlib.

You are kidding me, right?
I can't believe it. In this age, 256 colors just doesn't cut the mustard.
Oh well, free is free, ya get what ya pay for.
And here I was all excited about the GD library.

That's because it was originally designed for gif's.
Gif's only have a 256 color palette......

Hi:
Check This!
Hi,
I have a big problem.
I am trying to send email by php on a server which doesn't have sendmail
installed. In fact, we don't like to install it.
I use the 4.0.4pl1 version of PHP, and I have understand that the function
imap_mail doesn't work any more in this version.
Is there another option for me to send email ?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Emmanuel
Hello all!
I'm VERY new to PHP+MySQL, but I've been writing software for years. Anyway,
I have a simple question to see if anyone else has had this problem.
I have a PHP app that creates a table and makes entries to it. Those entries
can then be edited. I've found that if I hit the "add" button too fast (more
than 1x every 2 sec or so), I will get bad results as the table is printed.
The table printed shows the wrong number of rows for the table (as compared to
the SELECT run from the mysql command line. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
It also happens that clicking on an item to edit it might also return an empty
result set from the table.
I tried clearing the cache on Nutscrape, but that didn't seem to help.
However, connecting to the database w/ mysql_connect() rather that
mysql_pconnect() seems to have made the problem disappear.
Has anyone else noticed this inconsistent persistent behavior?
Red Hat Linux 7.0
Kernel 2.2.16
Apache 1.3.14
MySQL 3.23.32
PHP 4.0.4pl1

Has anyone successfully used CURL_USERPWD?
When using this, it returns a "Document contains no data", and a
"segmentation fault" is written to the apache error_logs. I can produce
slightly different results by leaving the username:password field empty. It
at least writes a "password:" line to the error log.
Some details of the configuration:
Apache 1.3.12
PHP 4.0.4pl1
libmcrypt 2.2.x (I think it is 2.2.6 and 2.2.7)
Linux and Sun boxes
the php script...
<?php
$ch=curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, "http://$url/$page");
$user="someone";
$pass="someplace";
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$user:$pass");
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>
ideas of what I am missing?
I want the output to go straight to the browser (used to retrieve
images..other suggestions for grabbing images are welcome)
