[PHP] '--enable-track-vars' php.ini file on Mac OS X
Hi Folks, Let me begin with the direct question to save you time. If you want more info read more about the issue by reading 'The Problem:' below. The question: Is there any way to '--enable-track-vars' in my Macintosh laptop running Mac OS-X 10.1.5 and a version 4.2.1 installation of PHP without creating a php.ini file? Is there a command I can run to do this? If so... What directory do I need to be in when I do this? Configuration Info: Mac OS X PHP Version 4.2.1 The problem: I have a PHP application which works fine on a Cobalt server that is running PHP 4.0.2. My problem is that I'm trying to run this application (a set of PHP scripts) on my Macintosh laptop which is running Mac OS X 10.1.5. I have tested the PHP installation using the phpinfo() function on my laptop and it works fine. But my scripts require the tracking of variables. By running the phpinfo() function on both my laptop (PHP v. 4.2.1 this does not run my scripts) and the cobalt server (PHP v. 4.0.2 this does run my scripts) I noticed that there was some difference in the configuration. I noticed that my laptop configuration does not have '--enable-track-vars' listed under the Configure Command information in the PHP configuration page that results from running the phpinfo() function but the Cobalt PHP installation does have that listed. The installation of PHP I used was obtained from: http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/ This page says that this installation package does not include a php.ini file and it goes on to say that, if I want this file I should just create it. But it does not say what should go into this php.ini file. I suppose I could just copy the php.ini file from the Cobalt server running PHP v. 4.0.2 but I think that won't work. Any ideas?

[PHP] RegExp - Replacing 'RB' with 'RB'
Hi, For all you Unix gurus this should be run of the mill stuff but us Windows boys tend to get confused easily :) How can I easily match occurrences of text along the lines of RB and replace it with RB ? The regular expression s///g obviously replaces any occurrence of an ampersand with a double ampersand but I need to do a match so that it only replaces instances which have non whitespace on either side of it, ie \S\S I think I'm along the right lines but haven't had enough experience with regular expressions yet to 'finish the job'.

Re: [PHP] '--enable-track-vars' php.ini file on Mac OS X
Hi I suppose you mean register_globals is off and should be on, right? Ok, to make this short, do following: create a file php.ini on your desktop and write following into it: register_globals=on Make sure you have unix-linebreaks (use BBedit for example, or pepper) and a linebreak at the end of the line. Save the file and open the terminal. Enter root cp /Users/yourname/Desktop/php.ini /usr/local/lib/ apachectl restart Now try it again. Register_globals should now be on. As another one has written, enable_track_vars is always on. I use the same installation (entropy.ch) for php :) cya Stefan Rusterholz Am Dienstag den, 11. Juni 2002, um 09:02, schrieb Mario A.

RE: [PHP] the curse of the period
The directory and file name: museum/trees/admin/upload2.php The directory I want to store the uploaded file is: museum/landmark/photos/ I've found that if you need more control over directory paths than something fairly simple then you're often best off just declaring a set of full paths and using them. For example, I often use a config.php to setup database connections and the like. If I know I'm going to need to access files in different directories from different parts of a site I'll usually add something like: $server_root = /home/www/some/web/site; $web_root= http://www.some.server;; Then if you need to do an include somewhere you can be sure that something like this: Include($server_root/museum/trees/someinclude.php); Will work. Equally, referring to a default images directory can be reliable also by using $web_root.

RE: [PHP] mysql problems, need help quick
Hi Hawk, (snip auto-incrementing PKs) is there somewhere the next number is located ? No. Why would you care, anyway? The thing about PKs is that they have to be unique, not sequential. If you're *really* bothered by it, you'll have to dump the contents of the table to a file, drop the table, recreate it, and import the contents into the new table. I'd also suggest, if these numbers have to be sequential, that you look hard at your db design to see if this is the right column to use as a PK. Incidentally, this is a PHP list. If you need to ask MySQL questions, please join one of the lists at http://mysql.com/. Cheers Jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Newbie needs some help picking a php editor.
I spent a good bit of time looking at editors to help me prepare and modify php scripts. I've found it very time consuming to evaluate them. In general, I've found you have to download, install and play with them some just to determine if they fit your needs. And I know from experience, often programs only show their deficiencies after you've used them a bit. And, I've found many that claim php editing; but they really aren't anything but a simple plain text editor. My needs are modest. I'm well versed with HTML, css, etc. And have done a bit of customizing scripts. For now, I mostly need an editor that will: Help me keep the syntax correct. Provide a list of functions, etc. to pick from. Upload my script files via ftp. Have the usual search/replace across files Would be nice if it: Had a project feature Could run a script I'm working on locally with its includes, etc. on my remote host.

Is it possible to determine whether a variable is set with either $_POST or $GET without having to do: if(isset($_POST['foo']) || isset($_GET['foo'])) //do something _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] mysql problems, need quick help
Primary Key's, by nature, are designed to always be uniqiue, which means that even if you delete row 6, the next row you insert will be 10 because there is no id 10. If you simply need to get the list of items in a query, in the order they were inserted, I would suggest using something like: SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY id ASC; Which will select everything from table_name (with no criteria such as a WHERE clause) and order it by the id in ascending order (ie, 1,2,3,4,etc.). Avid SQL users will be quick to point out that ASC is not required as ascending is the default pattern in an order by, but I still like to specify. =) Let me know if you have any other questions.

[PHP] Passing a Variable to PHP Via the URL
My understanding is that when passing a querystring to PHP via the URL with the GET method, PHP will automatically create a variable with the name and value from the querystring. I'm trying to do this and it's not working. Here's my code from an online tutorial (angle braces replaced with curlies): printf({a href=\%s?id=%s\}%s %s{/a}{br}\n, $PHP_SELF, $myrow[id], $myrow[first], $myrow[last]); Everything here works - I've already loaded the $myrow with the appropriate data and so this printf builds a URL with a valid '?id=' querystring. But when I click on the URL, the variable is not created. I've tried renaming the variable, querying $HTTP_GET_VARS to see what's coming in, and looking at all available online documentation, but nothing helpful. There doesn't seem to be anything in php.ini I need to set to enable this functionality. Can anyone help? Thanks very much in advance.

My understanding is that when passing a querystring to PHP via the URL with the GET method, PHP will automatically create a variable with the name and value from the querystring. I'm trying to do this and it's not working. Yes, if you have: example.com/foo.php?id=33 In the old days, people used to rely on register_globals ($id to exist) but times have recently changed, people are encouraged to move away from this potential security gotcha. Some options within foo.php are: // As of PHP 3 (forever)* print $HTTP_GET_VARS['id']; // As of PHP 4.1.0 (superglobals) print $_GET['id']; print $_REQUEST['id']; // As of PHP 4.1.0, see also extract() import_request_variables('gpc', 'r_'); print $r_id; // If you have the PHP directive register_globals // enabled. This defaults to off as of 4.2.0. print $id; Many options, choose for your needs.

I've tried renaming the variable, querying $HTTP_GET_VARS to see what's coming in, and looking at all available online documentation, but nothing helpful.

[PHP] Different Problem [Re: Passing a Variable to PHP Via the URL]
I found out that in fact PHP is creating a variable with the name and value I'm passing through a URL from the querystring. But it's still not working as planned. The url server/test.php?id=1 creates the following results in my code: printf(Variables: %s\nbr, $HTTP_GET_VARS[id]); This line works - there IS a variable named 'id' in my page and it has the correct value, 1. if ($id) {} This fails. If I test 'id' instead of '$id' then it works but my page doesn't seem to equate 'id=1' with the presence of $id. $result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM employees WHERE id=$id,$db); This doesn't work - again it seems $id isn't being treated properly. I get this error: Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource If I hardwire my page with the line '$id=1;' before the if statement and the query everything works. So why isn't the variable from my URL being treated properly? Jesse -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] download
Kris, If I understand what you mean correctly, this is just an ordinary anchor (nothing to do with php). For example, a href=http://mybox.domain.com/myfile.xls;Click to download/a When clicked, if .xls is in /etc/mime.types as application/vnd.ms-excel.xls then it will either download or start up the Excel application, depending upon the setting of the user's browser. If not in /etc/mime.types, it will probably try to display the file in the browser, depending upon the setting of DefaultType in httpd.conf. Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] Different Problem [Re: Passing a Variable to PHP Viathe URL]
Rather than just setting globals on in php.ini, try this: Your printf() line is: printf(Variables: %s\nbr, $HTTP_GET_VARS[id]); And your if() statement is: if($id) {} Where is $id set? It's probably not. $HTTP_GET_VARS[id] doesn't set $id. If you want the id variable in your if(), you need: if($HTTP_GET_VARS[id]) {} Or alternately do: $id = $HTTP_GET_VARS[id] if($id) {} Although that's not necessary. Also, try using $_GET[id], as $HTTP_GET_VARS[] has been deprecated in newer versions.

RE: [PHP] the ?PHPSESSID=spoofme 'bug'
OK, I have questions. A session *file* is created, but it is empty. I know of only one way to get data into it, that is through a session variable. Session variables are controlled by the programmer, so unless the programmer is careless with their validation or register_globals setting, I don't see how anything harmful can get into the empty session file. The empty file will get cleaned up by garbage collection, like any other session file. I guess this could be a DOS attack, by filling up the inode space in /tmp, or making a really big table if the sessions are stored in the database. Anyone can easily get the name of a legitimate session file, so I don't see how things are worse off by creating a session file with a certain name.

RE: [PHP] Fw: include() statement goofing me up - help
No, I created this file as a test file and it works for me. Perhaps you need to do something on your server for include files. Have you checked your php.ini to make sure that includes are allowed? In my setup (/etc/apache/php.ini) there is a line that says include_path = If I can think of anything else I will let you know. Also make sure to reply-to-all so that the list can keep up and maybe offer more suggestions.

[PHP] browser timeouts with file upload
have created multiple file upload scripts in the past... all work like a charm, always used with files less than a meg or two. have a use for it now where the user requires upload of a 6-10mb file and we are running into problems with browser timeouts(for obvious reasons). We have the following in place in php code - set_time_limit(900) in apache conf- php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 2000 - php_admin_value max_execution_time 900 still running into situations where the browser is timing out on files in the 8mb or higher range. Suspect this is happening on the client site since the 15min mark isn't anywhere close to being hit as the above permitions allow. browser timing out after 2-5 min. any solutions to this? recommendations? the desire is to avoid having to have the client upload via FTP software (learning curve issues) and just use the web interface. thanks Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Comments / Question about XML?
Hi! I'm going to start programming for XML but I have never done it before. I also found out that I would need to recompile PHP with the --xml option. That's suck! Will have to do it while the server is on live site. Hopefully nothing will go wrong. (Cross my finger!). By the way, know of any good documentation about the XML and PHP with XML? I don't want to do the XML on the XHTML side. I want to do it on the PHP side because of security reason and of the browser's incompatibility.

Re: [PHP] register_globals flag in some directories
Ahmed. If you changed the AllowOverride setting in httpd.conf, you will need to restart apache. I tried what I suggested here (on a RedHat 7.3 system) so I know its OK. In httpd.conf there can be many instances of AllowOverride, one per directory. Are you sure you changed the right one? Just a thought.
