--- Begin Message --- I've got a problem with cookies failing.
Here's the setup- A staging server, RedHat Linux, with php 4.3 Main server, FreeBSD, also php 4.3
Running identical Apache setups and Identical php setups.
The staging server is only accessible behind our local firewall and does not run https. The Main server runs https and users are transferred to https while logging in.
For almost all users, the authentication works just fine. Two variables are set as cookie values and checked out, so it works great. However we've had report of some users not being able to log in. I haven't tracked down the problem, but the behaviour they're describing describes the cookies not being set.
I was able to reproduce this behavior on a version of the Konqueror web browser. It could log into our staging server, but not our main server. I thought, "maybe it's a problem with the secure login," so I made a non-secure login. Still didn't work. I created a separate cookie value, only for checking if cookies were being set properly. It was set and transferred without any problems, but the other two values were non existant when I checked out the cookie management list.
The user i heard from was running IE6, which works in every situation I could check, He opened up all of his security settings to allow everything, and it still didn't work.
What kind of things should I be checking out? I'm at a loss for what else to try at this point.
Thanks- Thaddeus Quintin

Of course. :)
One technique is to use a "middle-man" page that processes your POST data and inserts it into the database or file or whatever. Then you use header() to send the user to another page.
So the page that was "posted" to is never really seen by the user and the back button just goes back directly to the form. You can also go back to the redirected page without the browser asking to "re-post" the data...

It's returning the correct results for your query. I'm surprised it's even running. getdate() returns an array, btw, so you're looking for ros that match this:
`date` = MONTHNAME('Array') = 'August'
You don't even need to call getdate(), just put
WHERE MONTHNAME(date) = 'August'
in your query.

--- Begin Message ---This isn't the best solution but it might help bring down the total time. Can you set up a shell script to retrieve the content from a URL (in PHP if you wish) and then from your web app spawn 5 processes, with destination temporary files for the data which you can then poll for completion (microsleep here and there :)?

Which explains why it isn't in common use... Getting the data back from the child process is gonna be pretty messy (temp files I guess), but... hmm. Still, may be the best solution in some circumstances. For the sake of completeness, I did some searching this time and there appears to be experimental thread support in PECL.

--- Begin Message --- hi,
David is right, you will not find an equivalent. My advise is to mix PHP and perl. You can get a perl script to handle the URL retrieval stuff and pass handlign back to php when you are done. It's this approach that i took when creating the mega upload progress bar for php.
all the best

I need to fetch several URL(pages) from PHP at the same time.
I have a script which fetch 5-10 URL, each URL fetched 0.5 - 2 sec.
Totally it's about 10 seconds in average.
I suppose if I fetched them parallel I would speed up the script 5 times.
I am looking mostly for PHP solutions.
(Hope they exist :)
Think you're out of luck. Yes, it's a problem I've run up against more than once. There's no thread support in PHP [4. Anyone know if it's in 5?].
I suppose you might be able to hack something together by spawning external processes, but... might as well just do it all externally then.

--- Begin Message ---My commercial host is changing policy so that PHP can't create files in public_html. This screws up my content management system, which generates static HTML pages which are hit a lot. Is this policy common? Is it a security risk for PHP to be able to create files in the main directory? (I have no problem creating files in subdirectories.) I've spent a couple days rewriting to use a PHP script called as a CGI to do the updates, and now they're telling me that that won't work when called from the CMS -- I've got to call it from a crontab, which I don't think will be acceptable. This is my third post concerning this (rephrased and refocused each time). Does anyone else need to create and update files in their main directories? Is this a security problem? Do I need to completely rewrite the CMS to use a subdirectory? -- Lowell Allen

Looks good from here, you should try a traceroute to that host, I think that's actually your problem... Or are you on a local network with that machine? Try the traceroute nevertheless, who knows how your hub is acting up... :)

Ryan A wrote:Hi, No problem, Just need a little advise on improving my page display time, let me explain:
I am using some ad software (written in php) which is giving me 5 ads (banners) to display on a page dynamically (eg: they rotate, banner code is given at the end of this mail) I have put all 5 banners on a page my themselfes, renamed the file to TestingAds.php and used a microtime function to see whats the script execution time like so:
<?php function mtime() { $time = explode(" ", microtime()); $micro = doubleval($time[0]); $sec = doubleval($time[1]); return $micro + $sec; } $start = mtime(); ?> html and banner code here <?php $end = mtime(); $total = $end - $start; echo "Total script execution time: $total"; ?>
I ran TestingAds.php 10 times and these are the numbers, you dont have to take an averige to see they are pretty good: 0.00024902820587158 0.00027501583099365 0.00025904178619385 0.00027906894683838 0.00043702125549316 0.00036203861236572 0.00045394897460938 0.00024497509002686 0.00025498867034912 0.00025796890258789
then i took those ads and placed them exactly where they have to go on my index.php page, then reloaded the page 10 times and got these numbers: 0.00018906593322754 0.00066602230072021 0.00055098533630371 0.00054502487182617 0.00054800510406494 0.00055789947509766 0.00054597854614258 0.00056195259094238 0.00056302547454834 0.00049996376037598
The numbers look pretty good (i think), but when i actually visit the page it takes a bit long to load...even though I am on a pretty fast connection, any idea why this is the case? my page takes around 20 seconds to load and there is a white screen till everything is loaded then BLAM its all done. What can i do so that my page loads faster or atleast shows the page to the visitor and then loads one ad after another so the visitor can see the page loading instead of just a white screen?
This is the banner code: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="http://jumac.com/ads/ads.php?jscript;zone=tower";></SCRIPT><NOSCRIPT><IF RAME SRC="http://jumac.com/ads/ads.php?iframe;zone=tower"; MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 HSPACE=0 VSPACE=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 SCROLLING=NO WIDTH=121 HEIGHT=601><A HREF="http://jumac.com/ads/ads.php?banner=NonSSI;page=01;zone=tower"; TARGET="_blank"><IMG SRC="http://jumac.com/ads/ads.php?page=01;zone=tower"; BORDER=0></A></IFRAME></NOSCRIPT>
here is the TestingAds page: http://bestwebhosters.com/TestingAds.php
I have not included the main page that i have already setup the ads because right now its still be touched up and nothing on the page works but if you still want to see it just write to me and tell me.
Thanks for your time. Cheers, -Ryan

This is pretty vague since we have no idea where you are. I'd approach it like this, though.
You know you have X seats. So you're going to first select all of the taken seats from the database (ordered by seat number) and fetch the first seat number. Then start looping from 1 to X. Within each loop, you check to see if the currently fetched seat number matches the seat number you're displaying. If it matches, then you display it crossed out and select the next row from the database. If it doesn't match, you display the seat number and the radio button.
Does that help?

--- Begin Message --- Hi,
I am trying to come up with a form with more then one submit button, and am seeing some unexplainable results. Here is a small complete page to illustrate it:
============ cut here =============================== <html><head></head><body> <? if ( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST" ) { echo "action is " . $_POST["action"] . "<br>\n"; } else { ?> <form action="test.php" method="post"> <table> <tr><td> <BUTTON type="submit" name="action" value="Save">Save</button> </td><td> <BUTTON type="submit" name="action" value="Find">Find</button> </td></tr> </table></form> <?}?> </body></html> =======================cut here====================== so, here are two buttons, one called Save and another one called Find. The idea is that $_POST["action"] will be set to the value of the button pressed. I tried it with php 4.3.0 and 4.3.2.
The thing is that Mozilla 1.0.1 on Linux does behave this way: "action is Save" shows after hitting the 'Save' button, "action is Find" showa if the 'Find' button is pressed.
IE of different versions though show only "action is Find", no matter what button I press!
How is this at all possible - does the server's PHP code behave differently depensding on the client's browser type - I find it so hard to believe...
Any ideas/suggestions on how to have browser invariant multiple submit buttons would be highly appreciated.

I'm getting an error of:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/sites/site37/web/photos/functions.php on line 594
When I use the imagecreatefromjpeg() function. Is it not usable with gd? Should I be using imagecreatefromgd()?
not sure about this, but did you install PHP from source with --with-gd specified?
if not, was PHP installed with an RPM? if so, try uninstalling, then reinstalling it.

--- Begin Message --- Hello,
I am wondering if an application written to work with register globals set to off ($_GET[variable] etc.) would work with a system, where register globals is set to on?
If not, is there a way to make it work for boty configurations?
thanx for any help on that,

--- Begin Message --- I've asked about this before but could not get a working solution.
I have a database. Users put data in the DB :) I have a page with a list of accessible data "block". Each "block" has a button next to it.
When a user click a button what I would like is:
- I extract the data block from the DB
- I send the data to the browser as a file download so the user can save the data block to disk. (i.e. a save-file-as dialog comes up)
- I mark the data block as inaccessible
- I reload the page and present a new list. The data block the user as just selected is no longer in the list.
I have figure out how to force a file download using:
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=aFile"); header("Content-type: application");
The problem I have is that I need a way of send the user back to list page so I can regenerate a new listing. I can't use header("Location") because I've already started an output stream (the download).
Some suggested using this header:
header("Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"-Boundary-12399\"");
But I could quite get it to work. The example code I have been trying to get to work make Netscape open a save-as dialog three times and on IE 6 just prints everything in the browser window. This is the code:
(suggested by Marek Kilimajer) <? header("Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"-Boundary-12399\"");
print "---Boundary-12399\r\n"; print "Content-Type: text/html\r\n"; print "\r\n";
//HTML code goes here
print "\n"; print "---Boundary-12399\r\n"; print "Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n"; print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=foo.tar.gz\r\n\r\n"; readfile("./foo.tar.gz");
print "---Boundary-12399--\r\n"; print "\r\n"; ?>
I'm sure someone has done this before :) What is the "correct" way to achieve this effect? Is multipart content-type the way to go?
Thanks,
