Re: [PHP] Sessions Variables and refresh pages

[Derek Mailer]

Karina,

If this is the problem you are getting and you can't find a way around it,
you could start the session on a splash or index page so that when you move
from that first page into the main part of the website, the session has
already been started and all session variables are available.

This is more of a quick-fix than a techncal solution, but it should work.

After experimenting with using session id's to track users I opted for using
cookies.  Not because I was having too many problems with sessions, but more
for the benefits that I could get using cookies in that particular
application.

Cheers the noo,

Derek

Re: [PHP] Session and header() errrors

[Rasmus Lerdorf]

You can't send any output before the session_start() call.  You require a
file which outputs html before calling session_start().  Simply do the
session_start() before the require and it should work.

The error page is generated by JSP and gives me
some error with VBS and dll.
When I use cURL (on other server) to get to
the same script on the same JSP server with
the same input I get correct data (if using GET
method) or partialy correct data and type
mismatch error (if using POST method).

Re: [PHP] something like alert (javascript)

[Eduardo Kokubo]

I'm implementing a system that allows the users create pages on-line. They
can create several different pages to complete a site. What I want to do is
alert them that there are still pages to be created before they finish. I'm
trying to do it checking the files they create and alerting a message, but I
think javascript can not check the files and php can not alert the user with
a function like alert(). I'm using a simple print() (PHP) but alert() would
be much better.

Re: [PHP] Session and header() errrors

[Dimitris Kossikidis]

You should change sessions configuration in php.ini

The default value for sessions dir /tmp.
In windows shoud point to c:\tmp

The header error occurs because you get a warning about session.

Have php print your BODY tag like this:

Re: [PHP] Session and header() errrors

[Naintara Jain]

There are 2 things you are doing here:
1) Session start
2) page redirection

put session_start() as the 1st line in your script.
Echo commands in the included file causes such warnings:
"Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output
started at c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\web1\html-head.inc:9)"

The first two warnings are on account of the above problem.

The 3rd warning is becoz of the php.ini that Dimitris talks about.

For the last warning, another simple mistake:
<---echo "session_id: ".session_id()."";-->
comment this line and then redirect the page.

the header() function will cause errors if you have already written, sent output 
('echoed', etc) to
the current page.

if you just want to add slashes to the data, use addslashes
if you want to get away the alashes from the data, use it in the print or

[PHP] printing comma-delimited lists

What I'm doing here is fairly obvious (build a comma-delimited
string).

$arr = array(1,2,3,4,5);

for ($i=0; $i< sizeof($arr); $i++) {
$lis = $lis . $arr[$i];
if ($i != (sizeof($arr)-1)) {
$lis = $lis . ',';
}
}


Question is, is there a more elegant way? I'm thinking of something
like DTML's sequence-start and sequence-end, in a foreach
construction.

[PHP] preg_replace

[Oliver Ruf]

Hello 

I'm trying to write some kind of parser... see the example:

$text = "[LINK image.png]MyImage[/LINK]";

$out = preg_replace ("/\[LINK*\]*\[/LINK\]/i",
  "/*/",$text);

Well... What I would like is, that $out would be something like about this:
"MyImage"


But this somehow doesn't work because Regexp don't seem to be supported for 
the replacement string...

Any idea ??
Thx, Oliver

You could try implode()

$lis = implode(",", $arr);

[PHP] Should I convert special characters before writing them to a table?

[René Fournier]

The reason I ask is, I'm having a problem processing rows in a table that
contain single quotes (specifically, the PHP code I wrote that allows the
user to duplicate a row doesn't work if the a field in the row has a single
quote in it).

Would it be better for me to strip out the single quotes before the rows are
written, replacing them with another special [harmless] character, and just
dynamically swapping that character out for the orginal when the row is
displayed?  Any thoughts?  I just started doing this PHP/MySQL thing a
couple weeks ago, and I realize I have a lot to learn.  Any suggestions
would be much appreciated.

Oh, and by the way, here is the PHP code for duplicating rows that fails to
execute when a field in the row it's processing contains a single quote.

=
// DUPLICATE
   if ($action == "dup") {

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE id=$id",$db);
$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);

$comma = "";

for ($i = $priv; $i < $columns; $i++) {
$fld = mysql_field_name($fields, $i);
$set .= $comma."$fld='".$myrow[$i]."'";
$comma = ", ";
}

  // run SQL against the DB
  $sql = "INSERT $table SET $set";
  $result = mysql_query($sql);

   $affected = $id;
   echo "Record duplicated";
}
=

Thanks.

...Rene

[PHP] Downloading Images

[Roger Bryant]

All,

I have searched high and low through the lists to find
a solution to this problem but none of the suggestions
appear to work for me.

I have added a download button to a web-site that
enables users to download images to their local
drives. (I'm using a button as I want to wrap some
logic round this function) I have the following
(simplified code )that will be called from the
web-site when the button is clicked. 

header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header( "Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=01lg.jpg");
$filename= "c:/program files/apache
group/apache/kidz/gallery/download/01lg.jpg";
include($filename);

The result is the SaveAs box appears and the image is
being downloaded with the correct name however when I
try and re-open the image i get the message invalid
header. Does anyone have any ideas?

Vesrions are PHP 3,IE6, Windows ME.

Thanks very much in advance,

Roger

[PHP] Re: Should I convert special characters before writing them to a table?

[Oliver Ruf]

Hi

ASFAIK, the quote character (') is used in ANSI-SQL (and also in MySQL)
as string-delimiter... (e.g. "SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'admin';")

So I definitvely would replace the character or you'll might run into 
problems with SQL. 

Maybe there's another and better solution, but it should be no big thing to 
exchange the quotes quickly.

-- Cheers, Oliver

What does the downloaded file look like internally? Open it in a hex
editor (or even just Notepad). Check the file-lengths of the original
and copy. My guess is you're saving an error message with a .jpeg
extension.

Try addslashes() before executing the query and stripslashes() when
retrieving data from the db.  See the online manual for more details.

You could pretty easily remove the form elements from phpMyAdmin that allow
the functions you don't want.  Quick and painless.  You may want to remove
PHP code from phpMyAdmin itself in case phpMyAdmin doesn't check to ensure
form data was posted (vs from a get method) and that data came from a page
in the phpMyAdmin session.  Or you could reinvent the wheel.

Re: [PHP] Downloading Images

Hi Dave,

Thanks for you prompt response. The Image is indeed a
different length, (3k as opposed to the original 9k) I
originally did have an error message appended to the
downloaded image but that no longer appears to be the
case. However the image is definitely truncated. Any
ideas why this may be happening? Please find attached
downloaded image.

Thanks,

Roger

It sounds like your user doesn't have all the privileges you need, or at
least doesn't have all of the privileges you need for that specific
database.  Ask your web host to give you the necessary privileges in the
user and db tables of the mysql database.  If the web host is clueless ask
them to send you the output of the following and post to the list so we can
help.

SELECT * FROM mysql.user WHERE user = 'yourusername'; SELECT * FROM mysql.db
WHERE user = 'yourusername';

BTW, this is really a purely MySQL problem and is better suited for the
mysql mailing list.  See mysql.com if you'd rather take the topic there.

I think stripslashes() isn't needed when retrieving data from the db, 
it is needed only in the query string to protect special chars from 
interpretting them as sql.

[PHP] PHP is a Bloated Kludge, discuss!

[Ben . Edwards]

(From behind filing cabinet where I am ducking preparing for flames).

Is it just me or is there anyone else that thinks PHP suffers from not
being modular.  Let me explain myself.  If you write a module for a lot of
procedural languages it sits on the filling system and is called up when it
is needed , loaded into memory and executed. There maybe some cashing which
happens but this is basically how it works.

PHP on the other hand seems to load in ALL the code that MAY be run. i.e.
an include brings things in which are inside an if,  even if the if equates
to false.

This means that the language is not extendible in the way others are.  If
you do write a function you wish to include in 'only the pages you wish to
use'  you have to first include it, then call it.

This has also meant that things like spell checking functions are built
into the core module rather than called in as or when they are needed.

Then there is the way database connectivity is handled.

There are a load of functions (again in the core language) with there NAMES
containing the name of the database you are connecting to.

For example all MySQL functions are mysql_something and I guess all oracle
ones are oracle_something.  This would only be a minor inconvenience
because wrapper functions can be written but from what I can gather
different databases have different functionality available.

I know this is partly because different databases have different
functionality.  what I would expect to see is a load of generic function
which attempt to provide same functionality where it is available or
implement some of the functionality themselves.  Obviously for some of the
less sophisticated databases these functions would have to do more work and
maybe some functionality wouldn't be available in certain databases (but
only the things like stored procedures).

Got a nast feeling that ASP (spit) does something like this.

You may cry, it cant be done.  however I remember a connectivity product
that came from Borland (this was back in the Paradox Days) which did just
this, it even had transaction handling built into this connectivity layer
for DBase!

Anyway I am playing Devils Advocate.

What I do like about PHP is how quickly it can be learnt and how quick you
can build apps with it.  Maybe this is at the expense of elegance.  Maybe
PHP5 will address these issues -;)

And there are certainly some very busy PHP sites, you should see the
traffic levels on indymedia.org during anti-capitalist demonstrations and I
am sure during the New York attacks they went belistic.

Ben

Well about beeing modular...
Have you ever programmed java ?? Java is very modular and everyting in java
is programmed with classes. 

So... PHP also suports classes. Now you should be able to build your own 
modularity as you like it...

Enough said...

[PHP] MySQL tables are read-only

[Alfredeen, Johan]

My webhost recently migrated my site over to a new server and IP. Everything
looks ok, except that all my MySQL tables now are read-only (at least that's
the error I get when trying to delete or insert records). How do I change
the tables back to write? Can I switch individual tables to write or is
there a setting to set the whole db instance to write?

I am using MySQL 3.23.32 and phpAdmin 2.2.0rc3. I appreciate your help.

All the JPEGs I have here end with (FF D9), as does yours. However,
it's missing the header (which starts (FF D8) and has the string JFIF
in it.) I would guess you're only saving the last 2497 bytes of the
file to disc.

As to why... maybe your script isn't seperating headers and body
properly, and a big chunk of file is being thrown away by the browser
as an unrecognised "header"?

BTW, I'm not sure that sending binaries to a discussion list is a
bright idea.

RE: [PHP] PHP is a Bloated Kludge, discuss!

[php]

On a conceptual level, I for one am a great fan of the kludge.

Every piece of software is a trade off between performance and speed of
development.

You can have the fastest app in the world for $1,000,000 in development time
OR
you can write up a in-elegant solution in 5minutes ($50) and if its slow buy
a bigger
server for < $5000.

You choose.

Taken in relation to PHP. I would rather have the developers of it release
new code
that is not optimized, then have 1 release every two years, full of very
pretty blocks
of code designed to make the hardcore OOP textbook fanatic orgasm.

 Check out mozilla.org if you want to see what elegant programmers can do.
- 2 years later a web browser intended to be small and fast, can know take
out your trash,
 wash your car - and guess what?
no release 1.0 yet.

Not true; require() has this behavior, but include() does not. See

http://php.he.net/manual/en/function.require.php
and

If you can deal with the 'lowest common denominator' approach, use 
ODBC. Or, as you mentioned, use one of the db wrapper classes 
available in PHPLIB, PEAR or Metabase.

[PHP] Using Array of classes as a class member variable?

[Martin Stephenson]

Howdy,

First some basic questions:
(1) Can you create an unitialised array ?
(2) Can an unitinialised array be a class member variable ?

My problem is this:

I have a class called "user" - which represents one row in a mySQL table 
(also called user)

I want to create a class called "userBag" - this class will contain an 
array of "user" classes - the constructor for "userBag" gets an SQL 
statement and uses this do decide which users to place in the userBag

Maybe I'm going about this all worng, but is there some other way I can 
store a variable number of classes (Such as a CObject class in MFC for 
Visual C++) - i.e. is there soem other collection class/type I don't know 
of ?

Thanks,

Martin.

I want to say this isn't true, but maybe that depends on the configuration
of PHP (I'm thinking magic quotes settings off-hand).  From experience I
know that stripslashes() can be needed when retrieving data from a db.  Just
today I've had to do so for clients separately using PostgreSQL and MySQL.
YMMV.

for( $i = 0 ; $i < 5; $i++)
$array[] =& new User();

I think it should work.

[PHP] installation prob.

[max]

hi,
I've done my first php installation on a *nix box ...
after unzipping the tar, I've done:

/configure --with-mysql --with-apx
make
make install
(and I've put the php.ini in the right location)

Now I have a binary php interpreter (and it works fine) in /usr/local/bin and 
so I've tried to configure apache to parse all php file 
using /usr/local/bin/php 

on the apache's httpd.conf I've set: 
 
ScriptAlias /php/ "/usr/local/bin/"
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

but this doens't work ... :(
(I've restarted my apache server)

Can anyone help me, please?

many thanks in advance

RE: [PHP] Re: PHP is a Bloated Kludge, discuss!

[Chris Bailey]

Ben, I think you hit on one of the key points of PHP in the latter part of
your email.  My take is that PHP is designed to be quick to learn, quick to
use, and somewhat simple (not in a bad way).  I agree that as compared to
most languages, more than usual is packed into the base system.  But, given
the speed of PHP, and that these are likely heavily used pieces anyway, it
doesn't seem so bad.

I think once you step away from what's in the base PHP distro, then PHP is
nearly as modular as anything else.  As Oliver mentioned, you can use
classes nicely (not as good as Java or Python, but not bad), and you can
obviously split your code up into many files, include what you need, etc.

I'm not clear on the comments about an include bringing in everything even
if it's in an if that evaluates to false.  Java is no better in this case
really, and neither is C++ or various others.  Also, PHP actually does have
a way of only including something in a section of code that gets run (i.e.
it's included at runtime, not parse time).  This is the difference between
include_once() and require_once().  So, if you only want something included
if some expression evaluates to true, just stick an include_once() inside
that expression's scope.  If I misunderstood your comments about this, my
apologies, and maybe you can elaborate here.

Well about beeing modular...
Have you ever programmed java ?? Java is very modular and everyting in java
is programmed with classes.

So... PHP also suports classes. Now you should be able to build your own
modularity as you like it...

Enough said...

That's not true.

  if(condition) include 'file';

That will only include the file if the condition is true.  Very easy to
verify for yourself.  So a bunch of your points related to this are void.

There is both a C-level abstraction layer called dbx and a user-space one
in PEAR.  Plus a number of others.  So again, this makes your next points
void.

  I'd like to know if anyone has any material regarding the use of

PHP can hadle that too with great success and perhaps, faster than 
JavaBeans.

Is exactly what I was looking for.  As 'if () {}' loaded, or at least
parsed things I did'nt think another form of if would be different ( RFM-;)
).  Maybe I should stop developing for a while and have a good wade through
the manual.  Its so easy to do stuff in PHP it's easy to get lazy!

RE: [PHP] Flexible, "Component-based" and Large Application Systems in PHP

[Chris Bailey]

I'd be interested in seeing this too.  The typical statement I see when
comparing PHP to Java is that PHP is faster.  But, factoring that out for a
moment (I have yet to see a real benchmark proving this in a large system,
but that's probably not an easy thing to compare/do)...  How about just
comparing implementing a large system in terms of language and operational
features?

To me, one comparison I make is that PHP is kind of like JSP in how it is
typically used, but that JSP/Java presents standards for components
(JavaBeans) and various other aspects.  "Java" has more structure or given
implementations in terms of enterprise technologies, and for things like XML
has further along implementations and more robust systems.

I use both Java and PHP, but I find that I use PHP for small, primarily
database backed projects, and that I use Java for large scale projects (this
can also be read: I use PHP for most of my personal projects, and Java for
work and any real heavy duty or XML oriented personal projects).

It's good to see this kind of discussion.  I don't think it's necessary
either to say one is flat out better than the other.  It seems it's most
useful to simply know when it makes sense to use one or the other, and to
know what the strengths and weaknesses of each of them are so that once you
do make a choice, it's an informed one, and you know what to be aware of
when doing your design and implementation.

PHP works quite nicely on large, modular projects. :)  

A key is using the correct infrastructure and doing your
design/architecture work up-front, rather than just slogging out a lot
of PHP code and HTML all mixed together.

Where I work we've used an environment that's a synergy of pure HTML
templates + a servlet/bean infrastructure (implemented in PHP though)
with great success. 

I have a case-study document that I'm in the process of getting
permission to publish.  I'll post a link to it when I can.

I want to open a popup window under php control. So lets say I have an

if ($something) {

Guess I'm saying that I want to call a Javascript function without the

[PHP] Problem with sem_get and semaphores

[Rick Turbeville]

Hi,

I am trying to do a sem_get on a semaphore that has already been created by
a c program. Instead of getting back the semaphore id,  I get:

Warning: semget() failed for key 0x576a: Invalid argument in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/bioace/testshmop.php on line 5

I can see the semaphores by using "ipcs" and they appear to be there with
good permissions, etc.

If I call sem_get with a new id everything seems to work fine - the problem
is only if I try to interact with a semaphore created by another program.

Can sem_get not talk to semaphores in the outside world?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rick

[PHP] session.cookie_lifetime

[Ben-Nes Michael]

Hi All

I configured apache + php on debian system

The problem is that session is not destroyed when the browser closed.

the php.ini is /usr/local/lib and working ( i tried to see if its affecting
by putting engine = On to Off )

in php.ini this is set to 0 => session.cookie_lifetime = 0

/tmp is allright and apache write the session with the right permission

I tried this script, but the counter keep growing even if I close all
browser windows ( tried mozilla & ie on two computers )


i configured php with
./configure --with-pgsql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-sys
vshm=yes --enable-sysvsem=yes --enable-trans-sid

and also without --enable-trans-sid

any ideas ?

As far as I know this is something you have to program in yourself.  If
you are only worried about your programs accessing the file, then it is
a good idea to create a lock file.  Before you access a file called
mydata, check for a file called mydata.lock.  If that exists, then the
file is in use, so wait and check later.  If it does not exist, create a
file called mydata.lock, open mydata, do with it as you please, close
mydata, and delete mydata.lock.  

You also have to be prepared to handle a situation where your program
stops before removing the lock file.  Usually with PHP, it is much
easier to just use a database so all this file locking is dealt with by
the database and not you.

[PHP] Getting an Email into a PHP/pl script

[Chris Aitken]

Hi all,

I have looked into the archives but im not sure what im searching for so I 
decided to ask here.

What I want to do is, on my FreeBSD box running PHP and MySQL, to have a 
system which will take any email sent to a specific address, and pipe the 
body of the email to PHP (or even to a perl script). Once I have the body 
of the email as a variable, I can do all my parsing and extracting etc to 
do with it as I need, but im baffled on where to start looking to get this 
done.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Cheers


Chris

Thanks for the help & tips. I guess I'll use ".inc" for files that
are included (as opposed to being run directly) and block
access to them at the server level.  Hmm, since the directory
always has an index.html, clients will never see the filename
anyway and could only run it by guessing at the name, so
it's a small point.

[PHP] read file twice or read into array once?

[John A. Grant]

I have a file containing ~100 lines of text, each perhaps 100-200
characters in length.  I need to retrieve line $n from the file, where:
$n = $julianday % $nlines;

$julianday = today's date (from localtime[7])
$nlines = no. of lines in the file

Method A
0. fopen() the file
1. read the file line by line with fgets() and count the lines ($nlines)
2. compute the required entry: $n=$julianday % $nline
3. rewind() the file and read it again until entry $n is found
4. fclose() the file

Method B
1. read the entire file into memory: $lines=file("myfile")
2. compute the required entry: $n=$julianday % count($lines)

I appreciate that this depends on the no. of lines in the file and
the size of the file. What I'm looking for is opinions on whether
the use of file() is more efficient than fgets(). It needs more memory,
but it eliminates reading the file twice.

Thanks.

[PHP] Upgrade Issue

Today, I upgraded our development web server from PHP 4.02 to 4.06.

the exact configure string was:

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/lib 
--enable-versioning --with-ldap=/usr/local

None of the support files (apache, mysql, mcrypt, openldap) were changed only the php 
tarball from their website.


Now I have this interesting problem:

You'll probably be surprised to know that the server is a Cobalt RaQ4,
marketed by Sun as a "server appliance".  The box has a 450 mHz processor
and 1/2 GB of RAM.  It's hardly a cutting edge server in terms of processor
speed, though I've been fairly pleased with the RaQ line since its inception
and continue to work with them heavily since I do a fair amount of server
administration and application development for hosting companies and other
businesses running RaQs.  The perceived speed is partly due to the fact that
the box operates under a modest load, is in a data center with good
connectivity and your browser likely caches the images which are shared
among all pages.  There is no server-side caching.  All of the content on it
is generated dynamically, though I could easily create static pages for that
particular site.  I'm also a big fan of controlling related web pages from a
single PHP script by configuring Apache to point requests to this script
using the AliasMatch directive so that the end user and search engines
thinks the content is static and the URLs don't get cluttered with ugly
query strings.  However that doesn't improve speed, it actually degrades it.

Hope that helps,

[PHP] php, files, ownership....(was file manipulation)

[Gerard Samuel]

Ok, I found out what was causing some of the people who were using my
script and have it fail.  They are on a shared server and apache is
being run as user nobody, so therefore the script is being run as
nobody.  But the the files has to have user ownership foo foo.  Is it at
all possible to have a script run as one user and create files as
another.  Dont know if it is even safe??
Or could you point me in another direction?
Thanks

What are you using for an MTA? If for example you are using sendmail, you 
can set up an alias, via an entry in /etc/aliases which pipes the 
incoming mail to a script, which could be a php script. Of course, you 
would need a php binary. Similarly you can set up an alias file with 
qmail which passes the email to a script.

This is a common technique for say creating web based mail list archives.

Re: [PHP] Getting an Email into a PHP/pl script

[ReDucTor]

Most mail servers use qmail, so i will explain how to do it with qmail

For your qmail accounts, you will have .qmail files(e.g. .qmail-default
.qmail-webmaster and so on), open one of these files, now add the bottom of
it |preline /path/to/php /path/to/script.php or you can do it with perl the
same way, but with your path to perl, The email its self will be stored in
stdin, if you want ot read it in php you can just go fopen("php://stdin",
"r"); if you want to use it in perl, just do @stdinarray=; it's an
array, make sure to chomp() your results, from there you can prase the
email, and check who it is, reply the the email, delete the email from the
mailbox, what ever you want... :D

Is it really true? I always though it wasn't.
AFAIN: Long time ago require() was working this way. But now, require()
and include() are the same. Loaded only when needed.

Well, it has it's pluses and it's minuses, it is extendable, though OOD
works a little different in it. But hey, it compiles on the fly,
remember? That's a plus for developers, especially newbies.

OK, true. But, this is necessary if you want PHP to automatically
connect to different DBs. 
A plus to portability and a minus to... (to what?)

That is why Sascha Sunmann wrote PHPLIB and (Stig?) Bakken created PEAR
(released with every PHP distribution, btw - just waiting for you to use
it)

 phplib.netuse.de

[PHP] Proposal

[Ralph Guzman]

I currently thinking on doing some freelance PHP programming and web design
for somebody. I have a pretty good idea on how much I will be chargin,
however I am looking at putting this in writing. I was wondering if anybody
had any example proposals/bids or web liks to where I can find such
information so that I can create my own.

Thanks in advance.

[PHP] ereg checking if its only numbers

[Chris Aitken]

Ive been playing around with ereg for about half an hour and having no joy 
because I dont really understand the medhod behind it and how it all works. 
But what im trying to do is check to see if a 9 digit string is all numbers 
and nothing else

$string1 = "123456789"
$string2 = "123456abc"


how would I check either string with an IF statement and make it continue 
on string 1 (ie, all numbers) and error on string 2 (not all numbers).


Any suggestions ?



Thanks

This is outdated. Look int othe archives - I had this discussion with
Zeev close to a year ago - since PHP 4.0.(something) require and include
behaves in the exactly same way.

Test it yourself on the latest release of PHP:


  require.test.php
 
 
 

  require.error.test
 
 yup!';

 parse error;

 ?>
 

Access it with:
 1. require.test.php?go=e

And then try it with:
 2. require.test.php


What do you buy now?

[PHP] Change linux password using php

[Sigurd Magnusson]

What is the best way to change linux passwords using a web .PHP interface? 
I currently allow FTP access to php enabled webhosting sites; which use 
safe mode, thus use real linux accounts.

Thus far I thought I would:

Write a real short C program which would call allow to go
setpasswd  
passwd could perhaps be the crypt() version to provide better security?
it would just call passwd, and ensure that username is not 'root' and a
few other accounts ;)

Then I would put that program within the directory of executables allowed 
in safe mode. And just have a plain http post form to update the password, 
running over HTTPS.

Does this seem a good plan ... or are there better?

It also begs the question; how do I authenticate an account using php ...  
to login to their 'change password' feature? I have already spent alot of 
time trying to merge password files for different uses; Windows 
shares, Linux ones, for samba, and this and that, so it'd be nice to now 
have yet another passwd file :)

You might be interested in this too:

Copied from http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php

If you do virutal hosting, you can turn safe mode on and off for different 
Apache Virutal Hosts using the php_admin_value directive. This also allows 
you to have customised maximum execution times, disabled functions, etc. By 
placeing a base_dir for each virutal host, this means PHP CANNOT access 
files below this heirachy; strongly recoomended for cutsomer hosting.

Eg:

[VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80]
 DocumentRoot /var/www/html/safephphost/
 ServerName safephp
 php_admin_value safe_mode 1
 php_admin_value open_base_dir /var/www/html/safephphost/
 php_admin_value sendmail_from phobo#paradise.net.nz
[/VirtualHost]

Perhaps if you show how you are doing this, it might be easier to help. 
Are you for instance using the return_var argument?

And in some cases, 0 is a valid return value; some programs may not 
return a value at all.
