[PHP] session_start
I used to think I knew how to do this ... take pity :)
I start my session:
session_name(TestALS);
session_start();
I register a variable:
session_register(studentid);
if (isset($_SESSION[studentid]))
{
$id = $_SESSION[studentid];
echo \$studentid= $studentidbr;
}
Pretend $studentid contains something from a previous form.
Here is my form with nothing else other than a submit button. But the variable does
not get passed unless I add a field. Where did I go wrong? Geez, I know I don't have
to repeat a whole bunch of input type=hidden name=studentid. That is what a session
is for.
form action=this.php
input type=submit
/form
Should I pass the session id? How? Why does my variable studentid NOT get passed
after I click submit. Where did I f*** up?
Like I said, take pity. I have been reading the FAQ:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
And like I also said, I thought I knew how to do this :)

But if you don't include it then your browser would allow you to upload any size of file. However, the point is that a number of people seem to be implying that uploads only worked for them *after* they've added that MAX_FILE_SIZE thing. But there isn't any concrete evidence to show that the lack of the MAX_FILE_SIZE thing does have any effect on whether or not one can upload.

RTFM again. Sessions depends on a number of factors including your version of
PHP and the setting of register_globals.
Basically if you're going to be using $_SESSION then you don't use
session_register(). You just assign the value directly to $_SESSION.
?php // test-session.php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['studentid'])) { $_SESSION['studentid'] = 24; }
if (isset($_SESSION['studentid']))
{
$_SESSION['studentid']++;
$id = $_SESSION['studentid'];

[PHP] migrating from register_globals on to off
Hello, Lately we discovered that, by mistake, we've run PHP with register_globals on for a few months for all our customers. Since we want to turn it off, we need to figure out which customers use the 'register_globals' functionality so we can ask them to modify their scripts. However, checking all php code by hand is a non-trivial task, because there are 20,000+ php scripts. Is there a way to: a) parse all .php scripts once and detect whether they depend on register globals on? or probably easier: b) add something to our current setup so that when a scripts is executed and uses the register globals functionality, we get a notification automatically? Any suggestions? Thanks! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] migrating from register_globals on to off
Lately we discovered that, by mistake, we've run PHP with register_globals on for a few months for all our customers. Since we want to turn it off, we need to figure out which customers use the 'register_globals' functionality so we can ask them to modify their scripts. Why do you want to turn it off? Turning register_globals off doesn't instantly make your scripts more secure, by any means. All it does is invite people that depend on it to write a quick work around that emulates register_globals as best as they can and they drive on with the same issues the _might_ of had before. The problem is not with register_globals, it's with poor logic in scripts that do not initialize their own variables. However, checking all php code by hand is a non-trivial task, because there are 20,000+ php scripts. Is there a way to: a) parse all .php scripts once and detect whether they depend on register globals on? or probably easier: b) add something to our current setup so that when a scripts is executed and uses the register globals functionality, we get a notification automatically? No, there's no way to do that very easily. I guess you could parse one of their HTML forms and parse the ACTION page of the form and check for _POST, _GET, or maybe even HTTP_GET_POST or HTTP_GET_VARS, but that's no definitive answer that every script they have uses globals or not. Bottom line, the best thing you can do is to educate your customers on how to write PHP scripts correctly and advise them to turn register globals off on their own site (with .htaccess if you're using apache). ---John W.

Do you need a particular version of PHP or Apache? Most linux distributions come with both. If you did an install everything then you probably already have it. I don't know Interbase, you may need to install some Interbase files to support that. If you feel you need to recompile, then you need the sources not just the binaries installed on your computer. If you have Apache already compiled with mod_so (most seem to) and you are happy to have PHP as a DSO (OK for many situations), then you would not need to recompile Apache.

[PHP] Fw: Formatting dates (from MySQL)
Hey there, I was just looking at the date/time functions (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.time.php) and I can't seem to find a function that can format a date that is supplied in the format of a DATETIME column. So, I was wondering, is there a function that can format it properly or should I let the database handle the formatting (I'm really new to SQL, I didn't come across anything to mod in the select statement yet). I could ofcourse split it on space for a time and a date var and then split the date on -'s for years, months and days but efficient is something else I think :-) In the archives I saw some examples doing exactly that, but nothing with a single function (unless home defined ofcourse).

Re: [PHP] Fw: Formatting dates (from MySQL)
You should be able to use strtotime() to transform the datetime string into a UNIX timestamp, which you can then format back using date(). However, this is a very circuitous way--either use SQL to format it or, if your DBMS supports it, have it returned already as a UNIX timestamp. The actual SQL commands depend on which DBMS you actually use.

Re: [PHP] Undefined Variable
Hey Anthony--
It's definitely a register_globals problem. Your ISP has turned it off
because it's generally considered a significant security risk.
The best way to solve it is to use the superglobal $_POST to access your
post data. In your PHP script, change all the variables that you take
from the form into their $_POST[''] equivalent (see below for a rough
example--I put the assignments at the beginning because I wanted to
touch your code as little as possible). Also, keep in mind that you're
not performing any checks on the data--I'm sure you want to do it once
you've sorted the current problem out, but the way it is now you're
leaving yourself exposed to a number of possible attacks.
$thename = $_POST['thename'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$description = $_POST['description'];
$bizname = $_POST['bizname'];
$contactname = $_POST['contactname'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$mailing = $_POST['mailing'];
$town = $_POST['town'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zip = $_POST['zip'];
$cat = $_POST['cat'];
if (($thename == ) ($email == ) ($description == )) {
header(Location: http://localhost/n_proserv_x.html;);

}

[PHP] Session: I RTFM

Jason, again, I RTFM, but did not get it working.
Otherwise I wouldn't have dared ask a question.
Sessions depends on a number of factors
including your version of PHP and the setting of register_globals.
The FM manual says:
$_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with PHP 4.0.6 or less) is recommended
So I am using PHP Version 4.1.2 (and 4.2.3 on my localhost to test offline)
Ok. I quit using $HTTP_POST_VARS[familyname].
With a little rethinking, I have this working, I hope.
Now ... is there a cleaner way to assign my variable familyname?
Pseudo code:
if _post[familyname] exists set session variable
(no sense in setting it until I post it)
if _session[familyname] exists, $familyname = $_SESSION[familyname];
I'll have about 30 variables. Going to be alot of lines. There must be an easier,
cleaner way?

Re: [PHP] Session: I RTFM
I haven't followed the rest of the thread, but how about using a
function?
function getvar ($varname)
{
if (isset ($_POST[$varname])
{
$_SESSION[$varname] = $_POST[$varname];
return $_POST[$varname];
}
elseif (isset ($_SESSION[$varname]))
return $_SESSION[$varname];
}
session_start();
// You don't need session_register anymore
$familyname = getvar('familyname');
and so on--just one line per variable.
Hope this helps.

[PHP] PHP/ldap - atomic attribute modification
Hi all, Anyone out there have significant experience using the PHP/ldap interface? It appears to me that it's missing some important functionality, but I might just not be seeing how to do it. I have a user-management application which needs to manage an openLDAP user base of several thousand users. For adding users, we need a way to get the next available UID number without creating a race condition where two users could simultaneously grab the same UID number. The question of how to best do this (on the LDAP side) has been hashed over quite a bit on the openldap-software mailing list. Without repeating all that discussion, the conclusion is that we need to grab a highestAssignedUid attribute of the ou=users,dc=example,dc=com entry and increment it using an attribute modify operation like this: dn: ou=users,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modify delete: highestAssignedUid highestAssignedUid: 500 - add: highestAssignedUid highestAssignedUid: 501 This solves the problem, because LDAP modify operations are atomic, and this modify operation will fail if the 'highestAssignedUid' attribute no longer has the value that we grabbed (eg 500). So if we grab the highestAssignedUid, and then our increment fails, we just back off and try the whole thing over again. If the increment succeeds, we know we've got a unique UIDnumber. But here's the problem: The PHP/ldap interface doesn't seem to have any way of supporting this type of modify, where one value is deleted and another added in a single atomic modify operation. ldap_mod_replace() and ldap_modify() replace /all/ the values of an attribute, irrespective of previous values. ldap_mod_del() will delete a specific value of an attribute, and ldap_mod_add() will add a value to an attribute without replacing existing ones, but if I have to make two function calls I've lost the crucial feature, which is atomicity, and reintroduced the race condition. Is there any good solution here? TIA for any advice, Carl -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] A little regex help
Not sure if it will be quicker or not, but I don't think you NEED a regex:
- get rid of 'for more information'
- split on 'See' into $pre and $code
- trim the bits down
- wrap $code in a URL
- glue it all back together
UNTESTED CODE:
?
// string
$str = 'Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP4) See Q322842 for more information';
// set up
$ms = http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;;;
$suffix = 'for more information';
$splitter = 'See';
// do it
list($pre,$code) = explode($splitter,$str = str_replace($suffix,'',$str));
$pre = trim($pre); $code = trim($code);
$str = {$pre} See a href=\{$ms}{$code}\{$code}/a {$suffix};
echo $str;

If this gets heavy traffic, u may want to test which is faster -- or you may
not care!!

Re: [PHP] migrating from register_globals on to off
Why not: 1. place a .htaccess file in each existing client/developer directory switching the value to ON -- being careful to ensure you don't wipe over an existing .htaccess file!! 2. switch the value to OFF in php.ini This means all current clients will have continued support for ON, and all new ones will default to OFF. If existing clients which to go with OFF, they just delete the .htaccess file. OR the vice-versa can be done... advise clients that you are moving to OFF in a month, explain the benefits, and make a .htaccess file available to those who don't want to migrate... so that their stuff doesn't break. Most developers will know which way they're writing code. You ultimately need to: - change the default to OFF - allow existing clients to patch to ON Justin on 15/12/02 12:43 AM, Willem ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Hello, Lately we discovered that, by mistake, we've run PHP with register_globals on for a few months for all our customers.

Sessions depends on a number of factors
including your version of PHP and the setting of register_globals.
The FM manual says:
$_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with PHP 4.0.6 or less) is recommended
So I am using PHP Version 4.1.2 (and 4.2.3 on my localhost to test offline)
Ok. I quit using $HTTP_POST_VARS[familyname].
With a little rethinking, I have this working, I hope.
Now ... is there a cleaner way to assign my variable familyname?
Pseudo code:
if _post[familyname] exists set session variable
(no sense in setting it until I post it)
if _session[familyname] exists, $familyname = $_SESSION[familyname];
I'll have about 30 variables. Going to be alot of lines. There must be an easier,
cleaner way?
?php
#session_name(TestALS);
session_start();
if (isset($_POST[familyname]))
{
session_register(familyname);
$familyname = $_POST[familyname];
echo Yay: \$familyname= $familynamebr;
}
if (isset($_SESSION[familyname]))
{
$familyname = $_SESSION[familyname];
echo yay session works, \$familyname= $familynamebr;
}

Re: [PHP] Session: I RTFM
Marco (or anyone)
What is the difference between:
$familyname = getvar(familyname);
and
$familyname = getvar('familyname');
What do single quotes do, as a general rule, that double cannot (he asks remembering
something, but not sure what)?

// You don't need session_register anymore
$familyname = getvar('familyname');
and so on--just one line per variable.
Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] Session: I RTFM
John,
PHP looks for $vars or {$vars} to parse in the string when double quotes
are used... whereas when single quotes are used, it won't parse/substitute
the vars.
?
// works:
echo My favourite fruit is {$fruit};
echo My favourite fruit is $fruit;
echo 'My favourite fruit is '.$fruit;
// doesn't work:
echo 'My favourite fruit is {$fruit}';
echo 'My favourite fruit is $fruit';
?
So, when you're not using $vars, using single quotes will be marginally
faster... perhaps not important on small sites, but very important on big
ones, and a decent habbit to get into :)

[PHP] Installing PEAR on windows
Hi people, I have a question, i would like to use PEAR in some of my applications, how can i download and iinstall PEAR on windows. I have Apache 2.0.43 with PHP 4.3.0 RC3 installed on a windows XP machine. I read on http://pear.php.net/manual/en/faq.windows.php . To make PEAR work on Windows, you simple need to add the PEAR installation dir (e.g. c:\php\pear) to the include_path directive in your php.ini. Well i thats easy, but i dont have a pear directory? Making a new directory is easy also;-), but.. How and where do i download and instal the PEAR packages on my machine... Thanks... Best regards,..

[PHP] Strange problem with PHP,SSI
PHP version: 4.2.1 OS: RedHat Linux 8 Apache version: 2.0 My problem is that I can't execute more than one (SSI include) on my website JUST for PHP file.. so there is NO problems at all if I include HTML or SHTML files. Anyway, if I include 2 PHP files into any page, the first INCLUDE statement would execute correctly and print out the file output, but the second INCLUDE statement would NOT execute, and instead, the statement printed in the page source as it is: !--#include virtual=sympoll/poll.php?id=2 -- notice that this problem was not exist in my server before I upgrade PHP from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 and Apache from 1.3 to 2.0 and Linux from 7.3 to 8.0 !! any idea?

[PHP] Re: Session: I RTFM
Instead of
while(list($k,$v)=each($_POST)){
$_SESSION[$k]=$v;
//echo _name_ b.stripslashes($k)./b _value_
b.stripslashes($v)./bbr;
}
why not just
$_SESSION = array_merge($_SESSION,$_POST);
???

Hey, you could try using the PHP include
?php include('path/to/file') ?
or
?php require('path/to/file') ?

Hey, I dont know how much easier it will be but it is faster, you could
use a switch statement.
switch ($_SESSION['familyname'])
{
case 'name1':
do something;
break;
case 'name2':
do something;
break;
default:
do this if the variable doesnt match a case;
break;
