you might want to consider add the html PRE tag, to preserve the output
format.
Something like,
> exec ("du -ks /home/apache",$test[]);
echo " <pre>$test[0] </pre>";
This will display the result in the browser, just as it does in the Unix
shell.

Hi all
I use sessions the authenticate users, but I seem to have a problem.
This is what happens:
1) A user logs in on PC one with his username and password. (So far so good)
2) Another user logs in with his details on the same computer --> He is
logged in with his details but the page displayed is the one of the other
user unless he refreshes the page.
I thought this was because the page might be cached, but when I set the
header("cache-control: no-cache") & the meta tag http-equiv="Expires"
content="-1" it still produces the same effect.
How can I solve this problem?

Hi!
I'm writting a PHP script which has to print the IP address of a
visitor, I'm using the variable $REMOTE_ADDR. I've seen it working on
other servers, but for me it doesn't work, if I visit the script I
allways get ip 127.0.0.1 and localhost as a name. The script is on a
webserver, not on my PC. Thanxalot,
Greetings,

Hi!
I wanted to get a txt files in a dircetory, I wrote the script using
opendir and readdir functions. But now I would like to sort the files
while I read them in. how could I solve this problem?
Greetings,
Johannes Rumpf
Read them into an array then sort the array.
while more files
{
get file name
$arrFilenames[] = $filename;
$arrFilenames = array_sort($arrFilenames);
}
The above sorts the array each time a file is read as you requested,
however its more efficient to read them all in then sort
while more files
{
get file name
$arrFilenames[] = $filename;
}
$arrFilenames = array_sort($arrFilenames);

can someone gimme step by step direction on setting up a STMP server? i have
IIS5
Can anyone tell me if this example would be considered a secure method for
authentication using sessions. The login page is a form to validate the user
and begin the session. The second bit of code is at the top of every page to
authenticate the user. I can't figure out if this is the best way.
Thanks
login page:
---------------------------------------
if($action=="validate"){ // Form submitted so check userid and password
against database
$query="SELECT memberid,name,lastname from members WHERE userid =
'$userid' and password = '$password'";
$result=mysql($database,$query);
$rows=mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($rows == 0){
$err_no=100; // bad userid or password
header("Location:login.php?err_no=$err_no");
exit();
}else{ // Input validated issue session id
$rs=mysql_fetch_array($result);
$name=$rs["name"];
$lastnamename=$rs["lastname"];
$memberid=$rs["memberid"];
session_register("name");
session_register("lastname");
session_register("memberid");
header("Location:mem_welcome.php");
exit();
}
}
if ($err_no==100){
$login_header="User ID or Password do not match";
}else if ($err_no==200){
$login_header="Please Log In Again";
}else {
$login_header="Please Log In";
}
<html>
Print out the login form here
</html
top of page to authenticate user:
----------------------------------------------------
session_register("memberid");
if (!isset($memberid) && !isset($PHPSESSID)){
$err_no=200;
header("Location:login.php?err_no=$err_no");
exit();
}

Hello:
I'm relatively new to php and I want to use Interbase instead of MySQL.
I have found a problem loading the module php_interbase.dll , because it
always shows me an error
Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/php/extensions/php_interbase.dll'
I have modified the extension_dir in the php.ini with foreslashes instead of
backslashes, I have searched over the web, in php.net, in the forums, in the
news, and I have only found questions about this, but any solution. The
question is:
How can I load the php_interbase.dll module in W2K Professional, using IIS
5.0 and the latest version of PHP?
Best Regards.

Hi,
How do you grab variables from a query string in a URL?
I've used this with ASP and it would be done as follows:
firstName = request.querystring("fName")
I've tried different variations of this in my PHP pages but I can't seem to
get it to work. I've looked in the PHP manual but can't find any
information relating to the query string.
Thanks.

try:
echo $fName;
they are loaded in the page automatically.
or..
loop HTTP_GET_VAR

Hey,
completely OT i know...
In a few months when I put together for college, I'm considering doing a
dual-boot type system, with some windows OS, and also a unix OS. However, I
don't know that much about any free unix OS' that are out there. The two I
can think of to use would be Solaris and Linux. Can anyone give me some
advice on which to use, and also if possible point me to a site where I can
get information on doing this type of thing?

Hi,
I have a form on one page with a text box called 'emailtext'. This gets
passed to a php script that gets info from a database (such as $name,
$email, etc) and mails selected email addresses; my problem is this:
Say, the form passes $emailtext as "Hello $name, how're you?", and this is
passed to mail() in the php form, rather than emailing "Hello Bob, how're
you?" it prints "$name" literally.
Seeing as $name isn't pulled from the database till the php script is it
possible to get it to print the value? or do I have to pull $name from the
database in the original form? (which'll is going to be a lot more
complicated).
Does this make sense?
Thanks for any help,
Robert Morrissey
Can you create an SSL connection directly through PHP? I'm trying to
integrate a form with a payment processing center, Authorize.net and I'm
running into a problem.
The documentation for what they call ADC Direct Response requires a secure
socket which I wrongfully assumed to mean posting from a secure page to
their secure server. It seems that the secure socket must be handled
directly from the script and not by the end user submitting a form.
Here's what I received from their tech support.
"The problem is that you can't send an HTML form POST when using Direct
Response. You must write a script that creates an SSL connection directly
with our server (port 443) and send the information to us through that
connection. I do not know if this is possible through PHP but usually this
is done with PERL, CGI, or ColdFusion. If you are not familiar with
creating direct SSL connections and would like to send the transaction
information in an HTML form POST, then you should use the Relay-Response
method instead. Please refer to the Developer's guide for more information:
https://secure.authorize.net/docs
Thank you for contacting tech support."
Any input or direction greatly appreciated.

Hello all,
I am attempting to write a script which will compress a group of files on my server
into a zip file, and then set a password on the zip file. The code below is what I
have come up with:
<?
$zipfile = popen("zip -eR /tmp/test.zip tf/*", "w");
fputs($zipfile, "testpass\n\r");
fputs($zipfile, "testpass\n\r");
pclose($zipfile);
echo("Zip file creation complete.");
?>
Now, the problem is... the script finishes fine, and I get the "Zip file creation
complete" message in my browser... but when I check /tmp, there is no test.zip file
there. Any ideas as to why?
Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
Sincerely,

Hi, I wonder if there's a way to get the same result as with
call_user_func_array()
on 4.0.1pl2 .
I need to do the following :
foreach($formArray as
$arrays){
foreach($arrays as $key =>
$value){
call_user_func_array($key, explode (",", $value)");
//Not working since I
have 4.01
$key(explode
(",", $value));
//This aint
working either since explode returns an array, and I need to return
//a list of vars to call.
(different amount of vars each time!)
}
}
Is there another way to do this using a function or something, I cant
update since it's
not my own server.
Thanx

Hi,
I'm submitting a phone number from an HTML form to a PHP page that examines
it to see if it's an integer:
form.html:
<html>
<form method="get" action="validate.php">
<input type="text" name="phonenumber">
<input type="submit">
</form>
validate.php:
<html>
<?php
$phonenumber = trim($phonenumber);
if (is_int($phonenumber)) {
echo "Integer";
} else {
echo "Not Integer";
}
?>
</html>
However, for some reason the script doesn't recognize the number as an
Integer - why is this and how can I remedy it?
Jamie Saunders

It's a string, not an integer. Try using is_numeric() instead. To see
what type it is, do this :
echo gettype($phonenumber); // prints string
You may want to strip all non-numbers first, just in case they enter :
333-333-3333
Something like :
$phonenumber = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/','',$phonenumber);
Btw, $string = '3'; // is a string.
$number = 3; // is an integer

Hey there!
This is my absolutely first time posting in a newsgroup, so be nice please
; )
I've written a guestbook, and in an attempt to get the newest entries first
I reversed the guestbook-txt-file. Like so:
$tabell = file( "gjestebok.txt" );
$revtab = array_reverse( $tabell );
$antall = count( $revtab );
$i = 0;
if( !( $fil = fopen( "guestbook.txt", "r+" ) ) )
die();
while( $i < $antall )
{
fwrite( $fil, "$revtab[$i]" );
$i++;
}
fclose( $fil );
Now the problem: If I post a message with a line of text, a newline (as in
hitting the return-key), some more text and newlines, these
newline-separated text-lines show before the posting itself after reversing
because they are independent elements in the array.....
How can I fix this????
