Hello All,
I would like to do that the session will expire after X minutes,
and the page at the client will expire after Y minutes.
How can I do that?
I understand that session_cache_limiter() function determines who can cache
the page:
- pulic: proxies and clients.
- private: clients.
- nocache: no-one.
But session_cache_expire() function sets expire on what? the session timeout
or the page cache timeout?
-thanks, Eli

session_cache_expire() function sets expire on the client side. Session
lifetime on the server is set by session.gc_maxlifetime setting, you can
use ini_set() to change it. But you have to use your own directory to
store session files, use ini_set('session.save_path', '/your/session/dir');

Try one of these:
$ find / -name "php*"
$ which phpize
As root:

php-general,
I was wondering if it is possible with PHP to create a snippet of code
which could execute on one server but be stored of a different server?
Basic premise is to sell a product written in PHP which people could
include on their site but not be able to edit or see the code, maybe by
using some kind of include(), url() or snippet method?

You can create a soap server. I have one set up, the client side runs a
function which is translated into xml sent to the other server (in my case
over ssl) the other server translates to php, executes the function and
returns the results. You create the actual code for the function on the
server and give the client details on what the function does and what data
it requires. If you build both it is very easy. The client has no other
options but to run the function name while supplying the data. ex.
server...
function pullLatestReport($login,$password,$howfarback)
{
check db for authentication...
if auth correct to run this function run
do queries nec. for request return result.
else
return error
}
As you can see the server has total control over what gets executed, soap is
designed to be platform independant. .net, java etc. can be used as the
client. Of course that is only a added benefit since you are making both
ends.
I use nusoap which is all php and isn't too hard to figure out.
Larry.

Hey,
I am creating a complete PHP driven site for the first time and I am finding
my files growing bigger and bigger. Each page of my site includes the main
function library, which itself includes an html library.
The file for the page itself contains functions that only that page
requires.
My question is if it is better, performance wise, to split all the functions
into separate files (e.g. login_funcs.php, output_funcs.php) or if it is
better to keep all functions in one file.
Would there be any performance issues with including a file, which includes
a file, which includes a file etc.? Would there be any performance issues
with including large files?
Also, I am struggling to structure my code well. I would be grateful if
anyone could point me in the direction of good resources for creating php
projects or creating web projects in general.
Many thanks
Carey

I've settled on a system which works well for me. Over time, you'll
find one for you.
Every 'page' has this basic structure:
---
<?include('inc/header.inc');?>
[pre-html output code goes here]
<?include('inc/header.html.inc');?>
<div id='content'>
[unique page content goes here]
</div>
<?include('inc/footer.html.inc');?>
---
header.inc in turn includes my function libraries, config files, and
anything site-specific in terms of arrays or functions.
any calculations and code (eg form validation, header() redirects,
cookies, etc) that needs to be done before the HTML is output is done,
then header.html.inc starts the HTML with a DOCTYPE, <head>, and
everything else on the page down to the main content div (the start of
unique content).
after the unique content, footer.html.inc includes any other html,
closes off the body and html tags, runs any post-HTML functions, etc.
in other words, each script will only have two unique areas of code or
HTML... everything else is in include files, which means I can make all
global changes in just a few places. this is the best separation of
global and local code I have found so far (that suits me).
as such, there's possibly 8-15 include() calls for each page request...
i haven't noticed any performance hit, but you could easily run a test
with a bunch of nested includes of simple code, versus a flat file with
all the relevant code.
personally, I'd prefer human productivity (logical separation of
functions and includes) over saving a few ms of processor time on all
but the most heavily busy sites.

hi,
i must have downloaded my php files in binary format or something, but now,
instead of readable carriage returns after each line of code, theres a 'box'
and then no carriage return. so the whole file is on one line. then other
files have an extra carriage return between lines. could i remove these with
php and regular expressions?? if so, what should i be searching for, for the
'boxes'
if not, can word or wordpad, or anything else do it. i could go through
every file and delete the box and add a carriage return, but that would take
ages

1. Use an editor that can work with unix newlines, most developer
editors can.
2. Use some tool that can convert between various newlines - search the
web. Command line utility todos/fromdos is one, but it might be
available only on unices.

Download something like UltraEdit. It can work with (and convert
between) file formats from Mac, *nix, and Windoze.

You have started a new thread by taking an existing message and replying to
it while merely changing the Subject: line.
That is bad, because it breaks threading. Whenever you reply to a message,
your mail client generates a "References:" header that tells all recipients
to which posting(s) your posting refers. A mail client uses this information
to build a "thread tree" of the postings so that it is easy to see just how
they relate to each other.
With your posting style you successfully torpedoed this useful feature; your
posting shows up within an existing thread even though it is completely
unrelated.
Always do a fresh post when you want to start a new thread. That means that
you do not select any sort of "Reply" when you start your message. You can
save the list address in your address book (or equivalent) for convenience.

Yes.
% with perl? I need to do this using Exim which I'm also unfamiliar with
% so if anyone has done this I'd appreciate knowing how! :)
It's the same thing as for piping email to anything. I don't know exim
from anything else, but I'd use the .forward file no matter what MTA is
installed.

While I found a lot of posts about this problem, I haven't been able to find
a solution. So if I missed it, please forgive me, I did spend a few hours
trying to find the answer.
THE PROBLEM: When a user signs up on a website, an e-mail is automatically
sent to them with their password. This worked fine until we upgraded our
server to RedHat Linux ES 3.0 using Apache 2.0.46, PHP 4.3.2, MySQL 3.23.58,
and Sendmail 8.12.10. Now what happens is that the e-mail is never sent and
the following appears in our system logs for each message attempted:
-----------

I have NO idea or clue where to start looking or what is causing the
problem. If anyone else has had this problem and fixed it, I'd really
appreciate hearing from you!

Hello, I have spent hours searching the web for any kind of support
regarding Ioncube's PHP Accelerator. We are interested in using it in
conjuction with some Cyrus servers and Squirrel Mail, but cannot seem to
find any kind of support whatsoever. The number of users is planned to
be in the thousands, so any kind of help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I use the accelerator, but I don't have a lot of users. I use it to protect
confidential information in the event the web server screws up and starts
displaying my scripts instead of parsing them etc. It works smooth as silk
for me though. I just can't tell you anything about high volume
performance.

Hi,
I have just started using PHP's file operators...and as you can guess need a
little help
I am using the example from the online manual:
http://de3.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php
to read a file that is in a .htaccess protected folder and pop a download
box to the client.
Surprisingly, after screwing around with the example code for 2 mins I got
it working on IE and NN.
Opera have always had one problem...instead of outputting somefile.zip it
saves it as myPHPfileName.php
and this is what it passes on to Download Accelerator Plus (DAP)
1. I am sure I am not the only one who noticed this...so...how did you
tackle it?
2. Which is better for large files (5-8mb), readfile or fpassthru or.....etc
?
3. and last question is, in this line: header( "Content-Description: File
Transfert");
why do you have the "t" at the end of "Tranfer" ???
Thanks in advance.
(Below is the code that I am using.)
Cheers,
-Ryan
P.S, I know there are security issues when using readfile and fpassthru and
will take some precautions later but for this example I left it open.
* * * * Code * * * *
<?php
$the_filename="KeyMaker203.zip";
$filename=$the_filename; // the name the file will have on client computer
$file_to_download="/home/public_html/testing/KeyMaker203.zip";
$user_agent = strtolower ($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]);
header( "Content-type: application/force-download" );
if ((is_integer (strpos($user_agent, "msie"))) && (is_integer
(strpos($user_agent, "win"))))
{header( "Content-Disposition: filename=".$filename);
}else{header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename);
}
header( "Content-Description: File Transfert");
@readfile($file_to_download);
?>

I am working on a project where the main module (including the security
access/login) is developed using ASP. My module which is in PHP has to read
the security permissions set by ASP (via cookies) to enable users to use it.
How do I go about that? or any other better solutions.
