[PHP] session.gc_probability

[Tobias Strauß]

The session handling of php seems not to work very well on my computer:
if  session.gc_probability is set to a value smaler 35, it never executes my
gabarage_collection-function. When it is bigger than 35, it's executed every
time.
I'm using W2K and php 4.02? Does anybody knows the reason for this?

[PHP] HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR

[Tobias Strauß]

On php.net I found this:

When you use REMOTE_ADDR for getting the IP of the current user, sometimes
you get the IP of the ISP Cache server.
When this happens, the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR is also set, it contains the IP
of the user.
[...]
Note that the X-Forwarded for header might contain multiple addresses, comma
separated, if the request was forwarded through multiple proxies.
[...]

My question is:
If the X-Forwarded for header contains multiple addresses, comma separated,
where do I find the one of the user? (I which order does it contain the
adresses?)
Do I get the right order (from the last proxies (at the beginning) to the
user itself (at the end)) when I do this:
$ip_route = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"] . "," .
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
So that I finally have a chronological sorted list (i know: a string that
contains the comma seperated ip-addresses of the users way to me (if they
were forwarded by the proxie))? Am I right?

Thanks for any coments about this.

Re: [PHP] Homesite & php

Hi,
I'm using homesite 4.5.1 and I've not had the problem you describe.
However, since I use a remote server, when I have a php page up, and go to
design view, funny things do happen.  I just don't go there anymore.

If the column is part of the join criterion, it won't matter.

otherwise, alias the column name:

SELECT t1.id as siteid, t2.id as wmid, t2.name as name
FROM site as t1 LEFT JOIN webmaster as t2 USING (id)
WHERE t2.name is NOT NULL ...

[PHP] Re: preg_replace_callback()

[Richard Lynch]

A "callback" is when you execute a function, and you provide to it a name of
*another* function, which it will call on some data in the middle of its
task.

It's a very handy way to provide extreme flexibility in functional
languages.

For example:

function my_array_walk($array, $function){
while (list($k, $v) = each($array)){
# Here's the magic that implements a 'callback'
$function($k, $v);
}
}

function your_echo($key, $value){
echo "$key $value\n";
}

$foo = array('a'=>1, 'b'=>2, 'c'=>3);

my_array_walk($foo, 'your_echo');

This rather silly example will "walk" the array and call 'your_echo' on each
key/value pair.

Dunno exactly how preg_ uses it though...

Maybe something like:

$word="washington";
$length=strlen($word);

$a=substr($word,0,3);
$b=substr($word,3,$length-3);

$string=$a." ".$b;

print $string;

you might want to test for the length of $word first
to make sure $word has more than 3 characters

Re: [PHP] Sterilize user input function

[John Lim]

It really depends on what you use the user input for.

If you are just storing into a database and splashing it out to a html page
later, htmlspecialchars( ) is adequete protection.

If this is a filename, then checks for the prefix "http://"; and '..'  and
quotes in the file name, and a base directory check is needed.

If you are running a command line program, then < > | ' " come to mind. This
is probably not complete. Read a few advisories. The Perl security stuff is
good as they are the most vulnerable :-)

[PHP] Re: Seperating a textarea into 3 different variables

[Richard Lynch]

Use something like this to find out what character is *REALLY* in the stuff
coming from worldpay:

for($i = 0; $i < strlen($worldpay_address); $i++){
$char = $worldpay_address[$i];
if (($ord = ord($char)) < 32){
echo "$char[$ord]";
}
else{
echo $char;
}
}
Another option is to not rely on worldpay to return your address info at
all.

Just store the info (except for credit card) and give them a unique id in
the transaction, and you only look at the transaction ID to snag all the
other info.

[PHP] Re: php/mysql search. need help

[Richard Lynch]

There are various "sounds like" modules such as soundex and metaphone and
suchlike.
These can ameliorate bad spelling.
Another option, if you have a limited number of types available, is to give
the user a popup menu rather than free-form box to type in.
In general, the fewer ways you can provide for the user to type incorrectly,
the better.

[PHP] Re: Session variables

[Richard Lynch]

You'll have to define what you mean by "currently online".

Do you mean actually waiting this moment for HTML to finish streaming to
their browser?

Or do you just mean, in my session files and not timed out yet?

Probably the easiest way to do that would be to use
http://php.net/session-set-save-handler

You could wrap some book-keeping around PHP's internal FILE sessions, or
store them in MySQL and then your simply need to query how many rows there
are in the table.

That '4' you see is that this is the FOURTH thing you've asked MySQL to do

[PHP] Re: header(Location:...) is redirect: looking for full link

[Richard Lynch]

Add *ANOTHER* variable in the header("Location:") code that says
"&redirect=1"

In your page3, do:
if($redirect){
$menuID = $foo;
}
else{
$menuID = $bar;
}
Where foo comes from the location, but bar comes from page2.

[PHP] Re: PHP and MySQL

[Richard Lynch]

Options:
Increase the settings in MySQL that limit how many databases can be open at
once.
Decrease the number of Apache children running.

Basically, as long as you have more Apache children than MySQL connections
available, you can get this message.

Actually, have a few spare MySQL connections, so you can telnet/SSH in and
use the monitor as well, and cron jobs using MySQL can run.

[PHP] Re: files

[Richard Lynch]

There's a Un*x utility for automagically doing this, but it leaves the new
file blank, almost for sure...
man logrotate

Can we safely assume no *other* PHP script is going to be trying to write to
this chat file while you're messing with it?  If not, you really need to
move to a database solution...

I guess you could try to http://php.net/flock your file everywhere before
you open it for writing, but that sure won't scale up well!

Depending on whether or not you can get all the lines you want to keep in
RAM or not, you could either:
- not so large, last 1/4th fits in RAM 
$filename = "./chat/chat.txt";
$file = fopen($filename, 'r') or die("Could not open $filename.");
$text = fseek($file, filesize($filename)*0.75);
$partial_line = fgets($file, 1000);
$recent = fread($file, filesize($filename));
fclose($file);
$file = fopen($filename, 'w') or die("Could not open $filename");
fwrite($file, $recent);
fclose($file);


If the file might be too big for this, you'll need to read a piece at a time
and write it out to some other file, and then use http://php.net/copy

[PHP] Re: independent PHP4 on shared Apache?

[Richard Lynch]

You can probably do a CGI install and only put the directives in your
.htaccess or inside your httpd.conf VirtualHost block.

For the Module, there's no way to Load/Unload for different Hosts.
You could do the LoadModule and only have the AddType in *your* Host, but
the Module itself would be part of Apache, which the ISP may not go for...

You can run PHP3 & PHP4 both as modules only if Apache, and both PHP3 and
PHP4 were compiled --enable-shared=max or whatever it is.

See the end of the PHP4 install instructions for details.

[Richard Lynch]

You'll have to use the function to find out if the function is defined.
http://php.net/function_exists

You may want to mess with method_exists and try to define it as a method
rather than a global function, which is what I think you are doing at this
point.

[Richard Lynch]

It's done at the end of a function, or at any other time, when the variable
is no longer in scope.

You really only need this on a large, long-running script or where memory is
an issue...

For web-sites, that's quite rare.

For a shell script, it might make sense.

take out the header, and see if you have any error messages.

I'm also willing to bet that cdpf_open() returns some special values for

You'll have to get a new version of php_dbg.dll from PHPEd, I think...

php_dbg.dll, required for PHPEd as well as DBG debugger, works fine on
Windows 98SE, PWS and PHP 4.04.
However, when I upgrade to PHP 4.0.6 (CGI binary) and change server to
Apache/1.3.20 (Win32) I get the following error

'Content-type: text/html
PHP Warning: dbg: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with debug=0, thread-safety=1 module API=20001214

These options need to match in Unknown on line 0'

What do I do to fix it?

Try not using "" and 0 for domain and secure.  You're using the defaults

You may need to escape it with "file\\ name" for the shell...

[PHP] Re: Unresolved Mistery Error in PHP

[Richard Lynch]

You probably have differing versions of MySQL compiled into PHP and what you
are actually *running* on your computer.

Re-compile PHP and be sure to use --with-mysql=/path/to/your/mysql/source
That source *MUST* match your running MySQL server.
Watch the configure output messages, and be sure you don't get a warning
about MySQL built-in support at the end.

You cannot set a cookie or send any header information (a-ha! a clue
in an error message!) after headers (content) have been sent.

So, put your setcookie() or header() function before any other output.
 "output" includes whitespace and line breaks, etc.

[PHP] Seperating a textarea into 3 different variables

[Richard Kurth]

I have a problem I am trying to set up a credit card form for worldpay

And in the address field that I have to send to them it has to go in
a textarea 

So when you fill this in it would look like this

address
city
state

Now this works fine for sending them the data but when the data is
sent back it is also in this format
address
city
state

I need to separate it into Address, city, state so it is 3 different
variables

I have tried
$saddress=explode ("
",$address);
$address1=$saddress[0];
$city=$saddress[1];
$state=$saddress[2];


  is the the new line character

I have also tried /n and /s  but none of these work

When I echo the $address to the screen it shows as address city state
but when I vew the code from the browser it shows it as
address
city
state

So I assume that it is passing a new line character

Does anybody have a solution for this

[PHP] header(Location:...) is redirect: looking for full link

[Chrisy]

hi,

The long explanation is below the summary.


SUMMARY


page1.php
Header(location:page2.php)


page2.php
HTML link to page3.php


page3.php
REFERER=page1.php


But in page3  i WANT to see page2.php as REFERER.
So i suppose i must change something in page1. But what?




XXX



THE LONG:

i am working on a dynamic menu module for postnuke. 

When a page is called with page.php?menuID=23000 that means the second
main menu is opened, and of that branch the 3rd subbranch:

>  MENU1
V  MENU2
   * MENU21
   * MENU22
   V MENU23
   * MENU231
   * MENU232
> MENU3
> MENU4

In effect this means i make the part of the page which makes the menu.
I can't use a form and i can't use session.


Now my poroblem is when people follow a link in the menu which in
itself has subpages, the folllowing links can not be expected to
always contain the menuID part. In effect the menu would unfortunately
close.


Now i did this trick: i would read menuID in the referer and 

   
Then i would do 
  header ('location:'.thispageURL. '&menuID'. $menuID);



So: 
1) REFERER?menuID=123
--links-to-->  
2)  page.php?nada=0  
--checks-(finds no menuID so looks it up in
referer)then-redirects->
3)  page.php?nada=0&menuID=123

Works nice up till then. But.


Okay, now that page is allright but as header (location) is a
REDIRECT, the following page does not see the added menuID as it uses
the URI of step 2).

help..
Chris

Re: [PHP] Sterilize user input function

[B. van Ouwerkerk]

For emails I've seen some nice work somewhere in the annoted manual.

I think it's in the chapter about regular expressions..
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php

You might not only want to kill anything dangerous.. Checking email address 
is also handy to prevent your database to be filled with crap..

For Phone numbers you could create a page which contains the - between the 
numbers.. so only numbers are allowed.. quite easy with regular expressions..
Or just one filed and check the number someone gives and see if it hold the 
string you thought it should hold.

Think about what you want to allow and what you want to refuse.

Bye,


B.

[PHP] Mod-function?

[Ville Mattila]

Hi folks,

I found this kind of formulae which should calculate the distance between two points 
on earth:

tc1=mod(atan2(sin(lon1-lon2)*cos(lat2),
   cos(lat1)*sin(lat2)-sin(lat1)*cos(lat2)*cos(lon1-lon2)), 2*pi)

This is not PHP code, but now I would need the same formulae in PHP. But I can't find 
what that mod(x, x) -function does. Any idea is there corresponding function in PHP?

Cheers,
- Ville

Aaron, CC Zona wrote before that:


If track_vars is on (always true if version >= 4.0.3), then the global vars

And if register_globals is on, then the global vars $bob and $phil are also

Taking from your original post -

file.php?bob=manager&phil=employ


If you create a file.php in your server, and hit it with 
file.php?bob=manager,
you should just be able to say



and you'll get "manager" printed out for you.  Most installations of 
PHP, by default,
create variables for you from the GET string parameters.  There can be a 
security concern
if you're not careful to validate the data that you get in from those 
GET strings,
but this 'ease of use' (not having to use that Perl stuff from below, or 
firing up CGI.pm
every request) is one of the main attractions to PHP for beginning 
developers.

CC Zona also wrote that you can use the $HTTP_GET_VARS array (which would
be the equivalent to the $fields{} array that is created below.  One really
nifty thing about PHP that isn't addressed in your Perl snippet below is 
arrays -

file.php?name[]=mike&name[]=dave&name[]=keith

would give me an array called $name with 3 elements in it.  There's most 
likely
a Perl module to handle that (does CGI.pm handle that) but it's handled 
automatically
in PHP.

Jason thanks! your information about those 512 bytes is VERY useful
but just a lil' too late, i already came up with a solution using a
conditional URL rewrite rule in my apache, along with a "
ForceType .." which helps me invoke my php script, if anyone is
interested i can send out the details, it actually executes the
php script for every http request received by the apache server.

Rasmus, thanks for your efforts on PHP development, we ALL owe you
big time. I hope you succeed with that request_rec stuff soon,
i spent some 4 hours making possible that a script be invoked
for every http request...  this has to be easier for next
PHP version!

Thanks to everyone who *at least* tried to help.

[PHP] Sterilize user input function

[Kevin]

I am looking for general a function to that would render user input
harmless.

I would write my own but don't know what to strip from the input that could
make it potentially damaging on linux boxes.  I need to accept email and
phone numbers.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

[PHP] query string - count for records with keywords

[sgibbs]

I'm trying to get a count of the number of records in a database that have
the keyword "cat", for example. Below is the original code; I added the
query with count at the bottom of this code but it doesn't seem to be
working.  I just get a return of "4" which doesn't correspond correctly with
the true number of records (also, I get the same return of "4" regardless of
the keyword I want to search).

All I want to do is put the record number in parantheses next to the
category so that people visiting the site will be able to tell if new
submissions have been added since they last visited.

Am I missing something really obvious? 

Thanks for your help, Shawna

Re: [PHP] Re: manage a mail archive

[B. van Ouwerkerk]

I pointed you to sources where you can find the information you need.

I don't run ezmlm with mysql support so I would need to look at the docs 
too. I'm very sorry but I don't have enough time to do the dirty work for you.

I'm not even sure about how far ezmlm and MySQL work together.. A friend 
told me he was going to put all messages in a MySQL database but I'm not 
sure if it's a default feature or his own coding.

I suggest you go to the sources mentioned previous and browse a little.

Bye,

If anyone else out there is using Smarty as templating engine, how do you put

[PHP] Problem with Encoding

[Harry Lau]

I want to include a string into a PNG by ImageTTFText(),
where some of the chars are encoded in BIG5.
I have found the revalent TTF for BIG5.

The output really gives some Traditional Chinese chars,
but the chars are not those I want.
(I think this problem also exist in Shift-JIS encoding.)

Would anyone give me some suggestions?
Thanks a lot :)

[PHP] cURL support

[Daniel Baldoni]

G'day folks,

I have a site just about ready to go on-line.  All my local testing has
worked like a dream - but the cURL support on the hosting provider is
partially broken.

Actually using curl_init()...curl_exec() etc. on my box to contact remote
URIs (both over HTTP and HTTPS) has worked from day 1 (with versions 4.0.4p1,
4.0.5 and 4.0.6).

On the hosting provider, HTTPS connections don't work.  But, I'm told the
command-line version of curl does work.

So, my question is - what gives?  Are there known (intermittent) problems
with support for cURL or have the provider's staff "done something" during
the build of curl and/or PHP?

Any help would be much appreciated as I really don't like the idea of palming
off access to secure sites to yet another external program.  Thanks for any
information.

Ciao.

Re: [PHP] manage a mail archive

[B. van Ouwerkerk]

You can use MySQL. Take a look at the ezmlm homepage, and check the ezmlm 
mailinglist archive..

Pulling data out of a MySQL table is easy.. if you don't know how, just 
look at some tutorials (www.devshed.com) more links can be found at www.php.net

Bye,

If track_vars is on (always true if version >= 4.0.3), then the global vars 
$HTTP_GET_VARS['bob'] and $HTTP_GET_VARS['phil']  are already set.

And if register_globals is on, then the global vars $bob and $phil are also 
already set.

[PHP] session_name causes break

[Christian Haines]

hi all,

has anyone else had problems with specifying session_name causing data not
being input into session variables?

For example:

session_name("test");
session_start();
session_register("count");
count++;

causes count not to increment whereas

session_start();
session_register("count");
count++;

with the default PHPSESSID works 



many thanks in advance

[PHP] creating ZIP file from mySQL content?

[BRACK]

I have a site where ppl can upload their text-based ideas in real 
time, so that I have new records in db every day. When I did 
uploading by hands and had over 200 files on that site I distributed 
all site content in downloadable for of zipped win-help formate. 
Well, I don't think that I can do help file dinamically but what about 
normal zip file. Can I create the script which would do it for me 
(creating zip-file of all records in db dynamically)?

I do this all the time - it offers all kinds of advantages.

This link explains why and how to do this

http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim2526.php3

 My own appoach is to use Apache mod_rewrite to direct all requests to my
"main" script, but leave one directory free for conventional .html or .php
files. You need something like this in your Apache configuration -

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule !^/my_conventional_directory(.*) /my_main_file.php [nocase]

This means: "if request is not for my conventional directory, run my main
script"

Cheers

RE: [PHP] Ordering a query

You could insert a ternary operation...

($order?$order:"defaultfield")

Is the same as:

if($order) 
echo $order;
else
echo "defaultfield";

...

$result = mysql_query("SELECT
articles.title,vote.votes,vote.total,articles.date,staff.firstname,artic

= staff.id AND articles.id = vote.item ORDER BY ".

I use the following code to order the results of the query by the
variable $order.

$result = mysql_query("SELECT
articles.title,vote.votes,vote.total,articles.date,staff.firstname,artic
les.content,articles.id FROM staff,articles,vote WHERE articles.authorid

I assign the variable a value according to my url,
http://www.mysite.com/file.php?order=something

My question is. Is there a way of assigning the $order variable a
default value? Like if they hit http://www.mysite.com/file.php without
the order=something can I tell the script to assign $order a default
value?
