[PHP] strange problem with post method
Hi list! Yesterday I've installed PHP 4.3.4 and Apache 1.3.29 on my Linux Mandrake 9.1 machine with a standard procedure: 1. cd apache_1.3.29 2. ./configure 3. cd ../php-4.3.4 4. ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.29 --enable-track-vars make make install 5. cd ../apache_1.3.29 6. ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a 7. make make install 8. cd ../php-4.3.4 9. cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini 10. In httpd.conf file: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php I've encounterd a problem with this snippet of code, where I fill a form and I pass the data to a php page that should visualize it. Here is the code: //Login.php html head titleTEST/title /head form method=post action=second.php brbrbr NAME : input type=text name=ident br PASSWORD :input type=password name=psw br input type=submit name=Submit value=Submit /form /body /html //second.php ?php echo NAME = $ident br PASSWORD = $psw; ? When I execute this code in my web page http://members.lycos.co.uk/ippo80/Login.php, or in another Apache server with PHP-4.2.3 not installed by me, the name and password are correctly visualized once I click the submit button: NAME = myname PASSWORD = mypassword , but on my recently installed server I obtain NAME = PASSWORD = indicating that variable values are not transmitted. Have you any idea about the reason of this behaviour? Thank you very much for the attention, Giuliano __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: [PHP] [SOLVED] Extract of a Paragraph
Oops, I forget to consider, what would happened with HTML tags. Thank you
Justin. Finally I did a function similar to yours, but the addition of the
TAG control is almost perfect solution. (To trunk a word of two or three
words, does not worth. No need such complicated script (with dictionary) for
that)
Cheers!

No, that's 50 *characters* -- he wanted 50 *words*. A quick and
reasonably accurate[1] solution would be this:
Daniel,
There's a few things you need to look out for. If there's tags (like
b or a) in the text, and you chop the text inside an open tag, it
will break your pages, cause them to be invalid, and make them look
really strange. So the first thing you want to do with the text is
strip the tags.
I'd say the next issue is to only append the 'read more' link if the
article is great than the teaser limit -- that way 'read more' only
appears when it's correct.
You should wrap it in a function so that you only ever write this code
once too.
Here's a stripped-down version of what I use:
?
function chopper($input,$wordcount,$append='')
{
$input = trim(strip_tags($input));
$words = explode(' ',$input);
$output = '';
for($i=0; $i=$wordcount; $i++)
{
$output .= $words[$i].' ';
}
trim($output);
if( ($i == $wordcount) (!empty($append)) )
{
$output .= $append;
}
return $output;
}
echo chopper($myText,50,... a href='foo'read more/a);
?
[1]: It's reasonably accurate in that it breaks words on spaces, then
glues them back together up to the limit. However, there are some
words which you may consider to have a space in them, but still be
considered one word. A perfect example would be Leonardo da Vinci
which the above function will see as 3 words, and you may consider it
to be 2.

[PHP] Re: Using sessions with register globals off
PHP Manual:
If register_globals is enabled, then each global variable can be registered
as session variable. Upon a restart of a session, these variables will be
restored to corresponding global variables. Since PHP must know which global
variables are registered as session variables, users need to register
variables with session_register() function. You can avoid this by simply
setting entries in $_SESSION.
just set the superglobal to the desired value. to remove when you're through
you can use session_unregister('foo') or unset($_SESSION['foo']). do not
unset $_SESSION itself!!!
$_SESSION['foo'] = bar;
~pj
I've looked through the docs and past posts but I'm still a bit confused.
How do I translate the following into code that can be used with
register_globals set off.
Assuming there's a preceding page that has created the session 'name' and
registered the var 'order' with the 'name' session.
session_name('name');
session_register('order');

[PHP] Turck MMcache installtion
Hi all, I m using Turck MMcache for php source encoding. Now the server where i will deploy those file need to have turck loader installed on it. And the procedure given in the site requires compiling the source and then including the TurckLoader.so extension in php.ini file . Now is it possible not to compile the turck source on client's server and simply include the extension TurckLoader.so(which i'll provide them) in php.ini i.e bypassing the compile face.

So I was tasked to create a PHP application which will enable the following scenario: # Webteam will still create contents in Dreamweaver # Once done, upload the contents to the server using the upload script. # The upload script will put and encrypt the contents in the server using the strongest encryption available # Users will access the content using the second script, which will decrypt the content on-the-fly; so the URL will be something like this: https://www.mydomain.com/view.php?file=/mydata/index.html As you can see, the content will be secured, but the script is now becoming the weak point since it'll store the encryption key needed to decrypt the content. So double-encoding it (using a PHP encoder) will make life finally very hard for said cracker. by the way, if anyone's interested on such application, I'm planning to release it as an open-source application, so you'll be able to utilise it as well. cheers, HS -- Kampanye open-source Indonesia - http://www.DariWindowsKeLinux.com Solusi canggih, bebas ikatan, dan bebas biaya v0sw6Chw5ln3ck4u6Lw5-2Tl6+8Ds5MRr5e7t2Tb8TOp2/3en5+7g5HC - hackerkey.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I hope you don't mean that literally. If you're really being security conscious, the
encryption keys should be in an include file that lives *outside* the Web document
tree. If your include path is given relative to the including script, a hacker also
has to know the local pathname to the script in order to deduce the location of the
included file containing the keys.
On my site, the *only* PHP scripts visible to the Web server look like this:
?php
ini_set('include_path', '../../relative/path/to/includes/');
require 'real_script.php';
?
... and the only reason that the include_path is set there and not in php.ini or
equivalent is that I'm not the admin of the server and don't have access to
configuration files!

[PHP] PHP5: class variables problem / array_push bug
hi at all,
i've a very strange problem but i don't know if this a real bug or only my
imcompetence?!
it is a problem with class variables set by __constructor() function in
PHP5...
look at this code:
?
class MyClass extends DomNode { // remove extends DomNode and
everything is fine
private $__arr = Array();
public function __construct() {
//$this-__arr = Array(); // uncomment this line for testing
$this-__setVar(value set inside constructor);
}
public function __setVar($classname) {
print(\n\nexecuting __setVar()\n);
print(trying to push \ . $classname . \ into \$this-__arr
with array_push\n);
// array_push only works in several cases...
array_push($this-__arr, $classname);
// comment following line for testing
//$this-__arr[] = $classname;
/*
foreach($this-__arr as $parentClassname) {
print($parentClassname . \n);
}
*/
}
}
print(pre);
$node = new MyClass();
print_r($node);
$node-__setVar(value set outside object method);
print_r($node);
print(/pre);
?
output:
***
executing __setVar()
trying to push value set inside constructor into $this-__arr with
array_push
MyClass Object
(
[__arr:private] = Array
(
)
)
executing __setVar()
trying to push value set outside object method into $this-__arr with
array_push
MyClass Object
(
[__arr:private] = Array
(
[0] = value set outside object method
)
)
***
ok, in my opinion the Array $this-_arr should have a value value set
inside constructor after creating the object set by array_push (see output
line 2)!
But there are several cases in which this bug does not appear:
- remove extends DomNode from code and it works fine
...but what does DomNode with my __construct() function?!
- uncomment line 6 and it will work
...don't ask me why it works now?!
- uncomment line 19 and it will work
...seens that array_push does not work correctly.
by the way i'm using PHP5 cvs-version from 2004-05-02 10:30...
maybe you could help me out of this dilemma..
another question for the php experts: is this information enough for sending
a bug to php.bugs?
thanks for your attention.
bye

[PHP] Re: Sort multidimensional array - ARGH!
OK, typically when finally biting the dust and asking for help the answer comes falling down from above... I figured out that a simple : sort($stats_unsorted); This would infact sort the first field of the subarrays. This would mean by throwing the results back and forth between several arrays I would in the end be able to sort whatever I would need. I could also insert back into the SQL and sort it by a select statement, but I feel Arrays are there for a reason, and there should not be any reason to bother the SQL for such a trivial thing as sorting. If any of you have another sollution I would sure love to know it, since my array infact is multidimensional, and the sort() isnt, though it for some reason solved the problem aslong as Im sorting the first field. -- Kim Steinhaug --- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. --- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] multi dimension array sort help
Assuming your array is called $array1:
$paths = array();
foreach ($array1 as $data_ptr = $data)
{
if (!in_array($data['path'],$paths) $paths[] = $data;
}
sort($paths)
foreach($paths as $path_to_check)
{
foreach($array1 as $data_ptr = $data)
{
if ($data['path'] == $path_to_check)
{
/** Do your stuff here **/
}
}
}
It's a little cumbersome and probably has way too many loops, but processor time is cheap and memory is even cheaper. I've found PHP's array parsing to be fairly quick.
Alternatively, use the path as the index for your array; i.e:
$array1 = array(path = array(path_id = 3,
year = 2004,
month = 02,
day = 05,
hits = 3);
When you're parsing your log (which is what I'm assuming you're doing), you would populate $array1 as follows:
$array1 = array();
while (parsing())
{
$array1[$path]['path_id'] = $path_id;
$array1[$path]['year'] = $year;
/** etc... **/
}
$paths = array_keys($array1);
sort($paths);
foreach($paths as $path_to_check)
{
/** Do stuff with $array1[$path_to_check] **/
}

[PHP] Dynamic vs Static Builds
Hi, I've been working with a PHP for a few years now. I've always thought that on production servers, to have them working at peak efficiency, I should have the Apache and PHP compiled as a static build. I recently got into a debate with someone over whether this had any worthwhile savings. Can anyone tell me which is the best solution, or point me in the direction of a solution? I realise that it would vary from situation to situation, so I'll tell you that my situation is high load servers required to run as fast as possible. They get restarted once a day, and (ideally) only get php+apache rebuilt when there's new versions out.

On Thu, 2004-02-05 at 08:13, Harry Sufehmi wrote: So there's a reasonably easy way to decrypt those encoded files then ? (despite those vendors' claim...) There isn't a program to revert encoded files to their original state, but there is a disassembler[1]. However, assuming your encryption key is a string all one would need is to do strings filename on the encoded php file to get your encryption key. The real problem you are facing here is security through obscurity is not security. First of all, your method of encrypting these files and decrypting them before serving up pages is just going to slow down your web server. The key is stored in a file somewhere and therefore easily accessible if someone gained access comparable to the web server. Since the key is readily available the data is not really encrypted, just obfuscated. I assume you are not transmitting these pages over the Internet and even within your intranet are using SSL? If not then that is a much bigger security hole. If you are really dedicated to encrypting these files I have a possible suggestion (see below for big caveats!). Continue with your encryption, however do not store the password anywhere on the server. You could either require the password be typed by users to view the pages (and *don't* cache it in any way anywhere!) or write an extension to apache (or whichever web server you use) to request the password when apache starts. It would then securely store it in ram and use it to decrypt pages, similar to how encrypted SSL certificates are handled. This would not be a php based solution, if php were to have access to the password then all that would be required to retrieve it would be the ability to execute custom php on the system by the hacker. You could try writing a php extension that would handle this however you may have a few problems: 1.) Depending on the web server used the php library's lifetime in memory may be shorter than the web server, or there may be multiple copies of the php library in ram. This would require typing the password more than once per web server restart. 2.) You need to make sure it is not possible to access arbitrary parts of php's memory using documented or undocumented php functions, etc. If so a cracker could write a php script to obtain the password. 3.) You would need to disable the dl() function so a custom extension could not be loaded to grab the password, though php.ini could be modified and the web server restarted. Then all the cracker would need to do would be to wait for you to re-type the password. Additionally make sure core dumps are disabled on the server, otherwise forcing the web server to crash could put the password in the core file. You know, after writing all that I realized something else: these are web pages being served. If the attacker has root access to the system what would prevent him from just using lynx to view the pages directly form the web server? SSL won't stop him/her and usernames and passwords will most likely be available if you use web based authentication. Your best method would be to require the password be typed every time a page is viewed, which has its own set of problems. Hopefully this gives you something to think about.

ok, i'm sorry, but i found the solution for my own:
on the top you see some snippet of my EXAMPLE Message before.
you can implement the $parameterstring generation algorithm like this (and
its very very easy!!)
$parameterstring = ;
for($i = 0; $i count($params); $i++) {
if(!empty($parameterstring)) {
$parameterstring .= , ;
}
$parameterstring .= \$params[ . $i . ];
}
replace the line $parameterstring = \ . $params[0] . \; with this
code snippet and it works...
any way, thanks.

Re: [PHP] Re: Using sessions with register globals off
Ok, with register globals on, this works ('order' being a php object):
session_name('name');
session_register('order');
$order-print_something();
With with register globals off, this fails:
session_name('name');
$order = $_SESSION['order'];
$order-print_something();
Get the errors:
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_something()
Meaning the _SESSION arr is not recognized and the $order obj variable has
not been passed.
What am I missing?
PHP Manual:
If register_globals is enabled, then each global variable can be registered
as session variable. Upon a restart of a session, these variables will be
restored to corresponding global variables. Since PHP must know which global
variables are registered as session variables, users need to register
variables with session_register() function. You can avoid this by simply
setting entries in $_SESSION.
just set the superglobal to the desired value. to remove when you're through
you can use session_unregister('foo') or unset($_SESSION['foo']). do not
unset $_SESSION itself!!!
$_SESSION['foo'] = bar;
~pj
I've looked through the docs and past posts but I'm still a bit confused.
How do I translate the following into code that can be used with
register_globals set off.
Assuming there's a preceding page that has created the session 'name' and
registered the var 'order' with the 'name' session.
session_name('name');
session_register('order');

I'm pretty good at graphic design (i.e. web page layouts) too... I keep developing PHP-related ideas I want to pursue. Some of them are fully implemented, others partially, and many not at all. Already I've developed a powerful fuzzy search system that most programmers find very impressive. Others projects go all up and down the spectrum of possibilities.

[PHP] Strange results on Printer Friendly page
Hi,
I have a printer friendly page that is passed a url param from the detail

should. However when I go to the printer friendly page I'm missing the
first question. I get all the others. I can't seem to find a reason for
this.
The printer friendly page has a single condition that takes the url param
and branches to the appropriate sql statement. The sql statements are
almost identical.

Thanks for you reply. You were right, I went back to the Apache manual, where there are links to tutorials on setting this up.

There isn't a program to revert encoded files to their original state, but there is a disassembler[1]. However, assuming your encryption key is a string all one would need is to do strings filename on the encoded php file to get your encryption key. [1] http://www.derickrethans.nl/vld.php Interesting :-) much thanks. The real problem you are facing here is security through obscurity is not security. First of all, your method of encrypting these files and decrypting them before serving up pages is just going to slow down your web server. My manager reckons that it's worth it. And it's causing very little traffic anyway. The key is stored in a file somewhere and therefore easily accessible if someone gained access comparable to the web server. Since the key is readily available the data is not really encrypted, just obfuscated. The key should be contained within the script itself, so it'll be scrambled by the encoder. I assume you are not transmitting these pages over the Internet and even within your intranet are using SSL? If not then that is a much bigger security hole. It's transmitted over the Internet using SSL. If you are really dedicated to encrypting these files I have a possible suggestion (see below for big caveats!). Continue with your encryption, however do not store the password anywhere on the server. You could either require the password be typed by users to view the pages (and *don't* cache it in any way anywhere!) Hmm... the users shouldn't know the password to the key really, they have problems already remembering just one password :-) more than that and they'll start writing it down on post-it notes... hehe or write an extension to apache (or whichever web server you use) to request the password when apache starts. It would then securely store it in ram and use it to decrypt pages, similar to how encrypted SSL certificates are handled. This would not be a php based solution, if php were to have access to the password then all that would be required to retrieve it would be the ability to execute custom php on the system by the hacker. This is the best solution I think, but unfortunately I don't think we have the resources to develop this. You could try writing a php extension that would handle this however you may have a few problems: 1.) Depending on the web server used the php library's lifetime in memory may be shorter than the web server, or there may be multiple copies of the php library in ram. This would require typing the password more than once per web server restart. That's why I'm planned to store it in the encoded script instead. 2.) You need to make sure it is not possible to access arbitrary parts of php's memory using documented or undocumented php functions, etc. If so a cracker could write a php script to obtain the password. 3.) You would need to disable the dl() function so a custom extension could not be loaded to grab the password, though php.ini could be modified and the web server restarted. Then all the cracker would need to do would be to wait for you to re-type the password. Additionally make sure core dumps are disabled on the server, otherwise forcing the web server to crash could put the password in the core file. You know, after writing all that I realized something else: these are web pages being served. If the attacker has root access to the system what would prevent him from just using lynx to view the pages directly form the web server? SSL won't stop him/her and usernames and passwords will most likely be available if you use web based authentication. Your best method would be to require the password be typed every time a page is viewed, which has its own set of problems. Bingo ! :-) Nice one Adam, you've found the hole in this scheme. Hopefully this gives you something to think about. Indeed... so for now looks like there's no elegant solution to this problem.

[PHP] problem identifying $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']
Hi all. I've got a simple mailer script that I wrote a few years ago
that has been acting up over the past week.
The problem is with the following check I perform at the very top of the
script:
if (!stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],unbc.ca)) {
die(You can't access this script outside of our domain.);
}
The mailer is located in my personal webspace on the web.unbc.ca server
and the calling forms are all located on www.unbc.ca.
For some reason some people (apparently around 10 over the past week)
are getting this error from two particular forms, but I know for certain
that these forms are within our domain.
Does anyone know why this would be happening other than someone making
an illegal copy of the form and posting it on another domain (which I
doubt is the case)?
As I wrote earlier this script is about three years old, so at the time
I didn't code using the $_SERVER and $_POST vars and just refered to
them variable names explicitly. However, the PHP version on the machine
hasn't changed for a long time (4.1.2) so I can't see why this would
suddenly start happening now.
To be safe I've just converted all the $_SERVER and $_POST vars in the
script to use these references, so I'll be interested to see if the
error goes away but I doubt it will.
I was debating writing a simple regular expression to use instead of the
stristr check but I don't really think it will make a difference as the
only way the stristr check will fail is if the string 'unbc.ca' is NOT
found in the referring page.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem? Short of
removing the check altogether I can't really see another way around it.
Cheers and thanks much in advance,
Pablo

Re: [PHP] problem identifying $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']
First thing to do is figure out whether the problem is with the referrer
var or with your code. Try adding a logger to dump all environment vars
to a log file, then check it the next time one of these errors comes up.
good luck.

[PHP] performance of classes vs. functions for database connections
i have a function that does authentication of a user, whose user/pass are stored in an md5($var ) fashion. i query these from the mysql db in an authentication (if !$user || !pass) function checking against md5($pass). my thinking is that classes would be better suited to grab object properties, such as variable values, when doing things such as statistical calculations (top 5 most frequented pages/site or number/hits per page) rather than to perform the tasks normal functions could perform. my question is: what is the advantage of making this database function a class other than being able to instantiate it multiple times in the same script. being that i use mysql_pconnect() won't i see a performance hit on the db for successive connections? i would most likely just make a db connection/query class and pass it the auth querystring but would i do better to leave well enough alone with my existing function? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Are you using Apache, and are you serving up languages based on the user's language browser settings? Note that Apache gives you some flexibility with selecting files based on language preferences: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html#multipleext http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_negotiation.html That may be helpful, though it depends on the specifics of your code. A typical way to deal with this is to separate out the variable pieces of text into some other file/location, and include one or another language setting files depending on preference. This is analogous to the old Mac filesystem's resource forks. How you actually implement this (xml, DB, php variables) depends on what you're doing elsewhere, and how you plan to maintain it. My inclination would be to just use the DB, have linked tables with languages and pieces of text in various languages. A single query could get a full language preference setting for a site, and a little array munging could turn it into a usable set of key/value pairs, where the key is the context of the text, and the value if the text itself.

The tables in your DB that contain language-sensitive information would probably have a languageId field which you could use to limit your result set to a specific language. InterJinn uses a mixed approach. When declaring the base template and source file to use to create a target page you can declare a set of language targets to create. When this is done InterJinn automatically retrieves the appropriate language based templates and source files to compile each language target page and when no such language specific content exists falls back on the default. In this way language specific content can be segregated into easily manageable templates. On the second level InterJinn supports a property system which can be language based. In this case the language of the page is used to determine which language specific property to retrieve (fallback is again to the site's default language when no such language specific property exists). Using this system developers can override the default language properties with language specific ones and the retrieval is transparent to the application. As part of the property system, InterJinn also supports properties which are set to the result set of a query. For simplicity when declring properties, some properties recognize an expandable [[LANG]] macro (configurable individually for each property if the developer needs some other macro) which is filled with the current language at query time. So then retrieving a dataset of language specific entries is as simple as desiging a table with a language field. This all sounds very heavy on processing, and it is, but the results are cached (unless the property is set to volatile which is rare) and so the expensive hit only occurs the first time.

[PHP] Website Architecture
I've got a directory structure similar to this:
SiteRootDir
index.php
dirA
index.php
dirB
funcs.php
otherfuncs.php
In the SiteRootDir/index.php, I've got:
require_once( dirB/funcs.php );
in funcs.php, I've got:
require_once( otherfuncs.php );
which works because SiteRootDir/index.php is the location from which files
are looked for.
However, in dirA/index.php, I've got:
require_once( ../dirB/funcs.php );
and require_once( otherfuncs.php ) in funcs.php cannot be
found.
A solution I found was in dirA/index.php, to chdir( .. ); before
the require_once, which moves the current directory to SiteRootDir
and allows otherfuncs.php to be found ... is this the best way to
solve this problem?
A seperate, but related question
funcs.php contains statements of the form:
echo a href=\directoryname\linkname/abr;
forming a relative URL. Again, this would point to a different
location depending on whether dirA/index.php or SiteRootDir/index.php
called the function containing this relative URL and I want them to
point to the same location.
I was able to find a solution by doing the following:
function AFunction( $toRoot )
{
$location = $toRoot . locationFromSiteRootDir;
echo a href=\$location\linkname/abr;
}
So, from dirA/index.php, I would call AFunction like:
AFunction( .. );
Is this the best way to solve this problem?
Thank you.

the PHPNuke (Portal software used all over the world, http://phpnuke.org/) code uses selectable including of php files containing define statements; in a directory call language (usually) there are files named lang-.php where is the name of the language; the current language selection is stored in each users session such that; $lang = $_SESSION[lang]; // ie; $lang = english include_once(language/lang-.$lang..php);// ie; language/lang-english.php The included files contain define statements (defines are global constants and can't be accidentally updated by your code, I believe) define(_INPUTUSERID,Input User ID); define(_PASSWORD,Password); the french included file (language/lang-french.php) might look like; define(_INPUTUSERID,Eenpoot OOsair ahDee); define(_PASSWORD,Paas voord); // ok, so I flunked french You get the idea; then you need to go thru each html form and change every instance of text that appears on the form to a reference to one of these global values; echo tabletrtdfont class=content._INPUTUSERID.br .input type=text name=fuser/font/td/tr\n .trtdfont class=content._PASSWORD.br .input type=password name=fpswd/font/td/tr/table; Using the features of the language instead of a db access, means that the only time it takes to setup for each language is the time it takes to load and process the source include. I suspect this may be faster, has anyone timed other approaches? Note that this does not translate the data stored in your database, nor does it translate things coming from other sources such as directories, filenames, etc. When you provide both french and english input forms, you are likely to have some data stored in your database in french and some in english, potentially resulting in english forms with french data (and visa versa) on your website. hope this helps, Warren Vail -Original Message- From: julien dufourcq [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 12:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] multilingual website hi, i'm looking here for some help with the design of a multilingual website.

Where do you assign $_SESSION['order'] a value?
Everyone in this thread has forgotten to mention the all important
'start_session();' command. Without that, you do not have access to your

The best way, IMHO, is to use absolute paths (from docroot, of course)
whenever you include or require files. The same logic can be applied to the

Subject: [PHP] Website Architecture
I've got a directory structure similar to this:
SiteRootDir
index.php
dirA
index.php
dirB
funcs.php
otherfuncs.php
In the SiteRootDir/index.php, I've got:
require_once( dirB/funcs.php );
in funcs.php, I've got:
require_once( otherfuncs.php );
which works because SiteRootDir/index.php is the location from which files
are looked for.
However, in dirA/index.php, I've got:
require_once( ../dirB/funcs.php );
and require_once( otherfuncs.php ) in funcs.php cannot be
found.
A solution I found was in dirA/index.php, to chdir( .. ); before
the require_once, which moves the current directory to SiteRootDir
and allows otherfuncs.php to be found ... is this the best way to
solve this problem?
A seperate, but related question
funcs.php contains statements of the form:
echo a href=\directoryname\linkname/abr;
forming a relative URL. Again, this would point to a different
location depending on whether dirA/index.php or SiteRootDir/index.php
called the function containing this relative URL and I want them to
point to the same location.
I was able to find a solution by doing the following:
function AFunction( $toRoot )
{
$location = $toRoot . locationFromSiteRootDir;
echo a href=\$location\linkname/abr;
}
So, from dirA/index.php, I would call AFunction like:
AFunction( .. );
Is this the best way to solve this problem?
Thank you.

Qualify relative paths by prepending $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/' - I
usually define a constant at the start of all scripts like so...
define('SITE_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/');
forming a relative URL. Again, this would point to a different

Why can't you specify an absolute URL?

Why not use php's include_path setting? No need to define constants, no
need to worry about the location of your script relative to the document
root, and it works with more functions than just include() and
require().
I have found it to be the cleanest, most reliable, and most portable way
to deal with file paths.

And if document root is different from include path? What if the
include path is outside of document root? You CANNOT rely on

Sorry, I should have been more specific.
I was implying that you would set the include_path to include your
document_root for your whole site, using httpd.conf, .htaccess, or
ini_set() (.htaccess probably being the easiest).
# httpd.conf or .htaccess:
php_value include_path '/path/to/document/root:.'
# ini_set():
ini_set('include_path', {$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}:.);
You could also modify the ini_set() method to append document_root to
your current include_path setting, using the PHP_INCLUDE_PATH constant.
I think.
But you're right, you can't rely on the default include_path setting to
contain anything useful. If you set it manually, though, it can contain
whatever you want.
Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying...

Replying to myself, it appears that PHP = 4.3.0 has a family of
functions specifically for tweaking include_path:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-include-path.php
When using ini_set() or something similar to tweak the include_path, I
would recommend using it in conjunction with a file that is
auto-prepended to all of your .php scripts (assuming you want all of
your scripts to use the same include_path):
# in .htaccess
php_value auto_prepend_file path/to/init.php
# init.php
set_include_path('/new/include/path');
You can of course put other stuff that needs to apply to all .php files
in init.php, too.

It's very small and pretty fast, you can check it out at http://kwiktemplates.com/ Documentation is still being worked on as I get time but it is straight forward to use. I can also supply a parser to generate the php needed to work with the template if needed. I'll put it on the site soon. -- regards, Tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] thumbnail script
Hi, Anybody know of a thumbnail script which does either one of the following: 1.Support GIF,JPG,PNG, when called the first time it should show/create the thumbnail on the fly and save it. or 2.Support GIF,JPG,PNG and thumbnail image any new files uploaded, and save the thumb to another directory I have downloaded a bunch of classes from php classes, the only good one (or the one that worked with me) is img2thumb10a-2003-03-28, and that only works with GD2. Two problems, 1. the server that has GD2 is a different server from where the main site is. 2. This creates the thumb dynamically via an img tagbut does not save it...so everytime a visitor opens up the portfolio it generates the thumbwhich will be a load on the server in the long run, something that would be cut down a lot if after it first generated it, it saved the image in some directory. any ideas? or urls? (and yes, i tried hotscripts, google) Thanks, -Ryan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] CVS style project system
I would search around and see if there is anything out there that does what you want. CVS and repository systems are quite complex to write and for performance you probably dont want to write the system in php. The first thing down that long road would be to gather all the requirements of the project and go from there. Start a game plan on what needs to be done when. Most i have seen are code repositories etc , like gforge, mostly developer level. This is the exact model i need to do http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/dhar20040108.php3 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Novell and PHP
Can someone explain what this all means then http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?php Are they supporting php or are they planning to take over something that is impossible ? We have novell systems at work, if this means easier intergration with php on unix with novell products like ldap intergration, great :D. I think from what we know groupwise ldap is not a standard system which will work with openldap :\ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This is a project that allows for PHP integration on Novell NetWare systems. I dont particularly know what exact netware systems we have but would this mean i could create sessions in my projects that will sync up the windows login system with the databased one ?
