[PHP] searching with mutable criteria
I am having a problem with this script what it does is write the sql
needed to search for data based on mutable criteria. It works fine if
you search with all the different fields but if you only search with
one or two of the fields it creates a sql that looks like this
SELECT * FROM listing WHERE state = 'WA' AND LIMIT 0,5
It adds the AND before the limit if you use all three fields it does
not add the AND. How can I change this so it will not add the AND if
there is only a search on one or two of the fields
$cond = "AND";
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM listing ';
if($_POST["state"] != "" || $_POST["types"] != "" || $_POST["county"] !=
""){$sql .= "WHERE ";
if($_POST["state"] != ""){
$sql .= "state = '". $_POST["state"] ."'";
if($_POST["state"] != "" || $_POST["types"] != "" || $_POST["county"] !=
""){$sql .= " $cond ";}
}
if($_POST["type"] != ""){
$sql .= "types = '". $_POST["types"] ."'";
if($_POST["state"] != "" || $_POST["types"] != "" || $_POST["county"] != "")
{$sql .= " $cond ";}
}
if($_POST["county"] != ""){
$sql .= "county = '". $_POST["county"] ."'";
if($_POST["state"] != "" || $_POST["types"] != "" || $_POST["county"] !=
""){$sql.= " $cond "; }
}
)
$sql .= " LIMIT " . $from . "," . $max_results;
echo $sql

You could also have a bit of code that tests the value of the price variable in each page and mail you all the env settings if price happens to be zero that way you would have a chance of reproducing the problem.

RE: [PHP] Random data loss.
Could be a problem of multiple update modules for the same table. When I've encountered this problem in the past it's been one of two causes. 1. In the process of maintaining the table one routine that has no price information, retrieves the row and notices that the something needs to be changed, and instead of only updating columns that have changed it seeks to update all of them (perhaps satisfying one programmers sense of order), and since it has no price info, it replaces the price with zero (good rule IMHO; only update columns that you know need to be changed). 2. Update queries that did not specify all the appropriate where clauses, thereby updating multiple rows, and perhaps in this case updating with zero prices (perhaps contributed to by coding all elements as above). (a rule that I apply to myself, not necessarily quite as good as the previous rule, use artificial keys [auto increment fields] and update with unique [or a list of] artificial key in the where clause). One nice thing about auto increment primary keys is they are self locking in that no two insert rows can get the same artificial key, even if the insert occurs at the same time (at least in MySQL). Take a look at the text in your actual queries and read them over and over, the answer is there. Don't consider this an exhaustive list, there are lots of people out there more clever than I coming up with new ways to loose data every day. But this is where I would start.

[PHP] Parsing multiple XML documents as strings. Inbox
Hi, We worked with Sablotron before but switched over to the libxslt library on PHP5 to perform XSL transformations. We used the wrapper code found on http://be.php.net/xsl so that our old xslt_ functions continued to work. Now, with Sablotron we used to parse multiple XML documents as strings and one XSL file from disk. With libxslt it doesn't seem possible parsing XML documents as strings. This is the old method which worked fine, using Sablotron: $args["/list_docu"] = "some xml"; $result = xslt_process($xh, 'arg:/_xml', 'arg:/_xsl', NULL, $args, $params); This node could then be access with XSL: When I run this code using libxslt/PHP5 and the wrapper I get the error: Warning: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "arg:/list_docu" This is because the XML documents must be saved on disk I guess. Isn't there any way to load the XML documents as strings??? Grtz, Bart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The error messages you need to FIX the site are in the Apache log (or your

and send them to you, displaying them on those admin screens is not so

You're right, of course.

Somewhat... till someone comes along and changes your php.ini, or you transfer your code to another server and forget to enable magic quotes. At which time everything is open to the sky. More secure to have it disabled and then accidentally have it enabled and have double quoting taking place :) IMHO magic quotes are right up there with register globals in the "nice idea" but "not in practice" features.

I have decided to go with something more secure. Since I have a database of users already for the site on ServerA, I will just set up a cron job on ServerB that runs a script that queries that database and then adds, edits, removes users accordingly. That way the access of the shell is being done always by a trusted system only user. I will put an extra table in my database called something like "user_email_account_management_requests" and the remote script with check that for any tasks it needs to do.

The downside is that if you are doing something with that data other than putting it in a database (EG: re-displaying it to the user, or logging it in a file, or...) you'll need to call http://php.net/stripslashes on it, to undo the Magic Quotes. If *MOST* of your incoming POST/GET data isn't actually going into a database, turn Magic Quotes off. If you want portable code, write a function to check Magic Quotes on/off, and call addslashes only if it's off. The thing that always kills me is when programmers call stripslashes on data that comes *OUT* of MySQL. No, no, no, no. Whatever it is you did, or think you are doing, or think you are fixing, that's WRONG. Maybe you called addslashes twice, once with Magic Quotes, and once "by hand" and that's how the data in the database got screwed up. Or maybe you just don't understand WHY addslashes does what it does. But calling stripslashes on data coming OUT of MySQL is WRONG. MySQL "eats" the 'extra' apostrophes when the data comes 'in' through your SQL statement. There are no apostrophes to strip after the data was been sucked into MySQL. If there *are* apostrophes you don't want in that data, you screwed up already getting the data in there. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Be sure you provide a path whenever you provide a time to setcookie.
Various versions of IE are badly broken and ignore the time part unless

Re: [PHP] Strange Download-File Problem
Ave, The error is "The File Could Not Be Found". Don't know if you got my latest mail regarding this issue, but I did things a little differently but still the same result. This was my last post regarding this issue: Ave, Alright... Firstly thanks to everyone who's been trying to help me out. I've been doing a lot of research and finding out a lot of things. The problem is definitely very clear... I need to convert the Dynamic URL to Static URL because, as discussed earlier, Microsoft manages to screw up the Dynamic part of URL's and thus problems occur. To remind of what's going on.. I run an Apache Web Server on my PowerMAC G5 Macintosh system, and run my websites on it. I have a "Force-Download" download script that allows registered users to Download Files assigned to them. What has been happening is, when the "Save As" dialog box opens, if you hit "Save", everything goes well - the file is saved to your desires location, you can open and view it, HOWEVER, if you hit "Open", it opens the associated application (eg:- Adobe Acrobat Reader) but fails to open the file, instead gives an error "File Could Not Be Found". This is what I did: Added into my Apache's httpd.conf the following: ForceType application/x-httpd-php So that anything begins with www.mydomain.com/download will call my 'download' script. I put my force download script in a file called "download" in the root directory. Now my URL, instead of looking like http://informed-sources.com/download.php?F=imsafm/rjohari/ccq.pdf looks like: http://informed-sources.com/download/imsafm/rjohari/ccq.pdf In my Download Script, I was using $F as the variable which contained the File Path & File Name to be downloaded. I replaced that with $_SERVER[PATH_TRANSLATED¹] ... It works! Accept, it works the same way it was working before. You click the link, the SAVE AS Dialog box opens.. If you hit Save, the file is saved and can be opened... HOWEVER, if you hit OPEN, it opens the associated application and gives the same error. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Rahul S.

The biggest pitfall is people using public computers and checking "Remember Me"... I know, that sounds really dumb to you, but they do it. If this is their bank account, I sure wouldn't do "Remember Me" (at all) If it's not all *that* crucial... The other consideration is if their computer is physically accessed/stolen.

If so, don't provide "Remember Me" If you don't provide "Remember Me" you should allow users to pick their own usernames, as much as possible, and to set their own passwords.

If it's GET, you can do:
$html =
file('http://theirserver.com/path/to/organism?something=+AGRO&numcolumns=2')
or die("Couldn't get URL");
If it's POST, Google for "function PostToHost" and you'll find source code
to send POST data.

You may want to use:

or http://php.net/return
I will not guarantee that either will work, much less do what you want,

Using split here is a bad habit. explode would work fine, and is faster.
Speed is probably irrelevant in this case, as you are only doing it once
per script. But bad habits are bad habits.
Also, you might want to use:
www.mysite.com/article/file=19911/year=2004/
Then you can do:
$args = explode('/', $pi);
$PATH = '';
while (list(, $arg) = each($args)){
$keyvalue = explode('=', $arg);
switch(count($keyvalue)){
case 0:
# do nothing for '//' in URL
break;
case 1:
$_PATH[$arg] = ''; //The arg is there, but has no specific value
$PATH .= "$arg/";
break;
default:
$variable = $keyvalue[0];
unset($keyvalue[0]);
$_PATH[$variable] = implode('=', $keyvalue);
break;
}
}
Here's why I find this useful:
1. Instead of relying on position to know what variable is what, I can put
my URL parts in any order.
2. I collect all elements with no specific value in $PATH -- This allows
me to more naturally define a directory (EG to a JPEG) in my URL:
http://example.com/scale_image/width=50/height=50/path/to/my.jpeg
You have to watch out for bad data in $PATH, of course, but I always use
relative pathnames, and check for ".." etc.
3. I allow for the case that an '=' is part of the value.
4. I store all my PATH_INFO inputs in a $_PATH array which is then treated
the same as $_POST or $_GET etc -- It's untrusted data, coming from the
outside world.

This is bad. Every time the for() loop iterates, the count() function

$count = count( $choices );

Variables can contain numbers, but the first character after the $
must not be one.

Re: [PHP] PARSE ERROR, unexpected T_$VARIABLE
Variable names cannot start with a digit.
$distoffice0405 is kosher.
$0405distoffice is not.

[PHP] Strange File Download Problem
Ave, Alright... Firstly thanks to everyone who's been trying to help me out. I've been doing a lot of research and finding out a lot of things. The problem is definitely very clear... I need to convert the Dynamic URL to Static URL because, as discussed earlier, Microsoft manages to screw up the Dynamic part of URL's and thus problems occur. To remind of what's going on.. I run an Apache Web Server on my PowerMAC G5 Macintosh system, and run my websites on it. I have a "Force-Download" download script that allows registered users to Download Files assigned to them. What has been happening is, when the "Save As" dialog box opens, if you hit "Save", everything goes well - the file is saved to your desires location, you can open and view it, HOWEVER, if you hit "Open", it opens the associated application (eg:- Adobe Acrobat Reader) but fails to open the file, instead gives an error "File Could Not Be Found". This is what I did: Added into my Apache's httpd.conf the following: ForceType application/x-httpd-php So that anything begins with www.mydomain.com/download will call my 'download' script. I put my force download script in a file called "download" in the root directory. Now my URL, instead of looking like http://informed-sources.com/download.php?F=imsafm/rjohari/ccq.pdf looks like: http://informed-sources.com/download/imsafm/rjohari/ccq.pdf In my Download Script, I was using $F as the variable which contained the File Path & File Name to be downloaded. I replaced that with $_SERVER[PATH_TRANSLATED¹] ... It works! Accept, it works the same way it was working before. You click the link, the SAVE AS Dialog box opens.. If you hit Save, the file is saved and can be opened... HOWEVER, if you hit OPEN, it opens the associated application and gives the same error. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Rahul S. Johari

[PHP] Strange behaviour with PHP on Apache
Hi there, For the first time since my server is running I got some strange behaviour today without changing something before. Users trying to access my php-scripted websites (different projects) got a 'download' message instead of the site (as if the site (.php) was a downloadable file (e.g. .tgz or something else))). After restarting apache2 the problem was gone for about 2 hours, but then it came back. As first reaction I visited my log files instantly, but nothing looked different there. After it came for the second time, I restarted the server by 'init 6' and it is gone since then. As this is a production server, I cannont leave this one to chance. Maybe one of you has an idea what could cause this problem. (Low diskspace? Bad configurations?) I'm not sure if this is the right list to ask this, please point me to a better place if I'm wrong! And here is my configuration: PHP 4.3.4 on Apache 2.0.49 Suse Linux 9.1 Confixx 3.0 Pro Confixx ./configure: './configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--datadir=/usr/share/php' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--libdir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--with-_lib=lib' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/lib/php/bin' '--disable-debug' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sigchild' '--disable-ctype' '--disable-session' '--without-mysql' '--disable-cli' '--without-pear' '--with-openssl' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2-prefork' 'i586-suse-linux' Thx a lot in advance.

You've got too many iterators in there.
With $i=1, if $_POST['choice1'] is set: you set $choice1 to the value of
$_POST['choice1'].
With $i=2, if $_POST['choice2'] is set: you set $choice1 to the value of
$_POST['choice2'], then you set $choice2 to the value of $_POST['choice2'].
With $i=3, if $_POST['choice3'] is set: you set $choice1 to the value of
$_POST['choice3'], then you set $choice2 to the value of $_POST['choice3'],
then you set $choice3 to the value of $_POST['choice3'].
Etc.
Within your PHP script, I'd strongly recommend using an array, even if you
don't name your HTML form variables as array elements (which is actually
very easy, despite what a lot of people seem to think). Then your code just
needs to look like this:
for ($i=1; $i<10; $i++)
{
if (isset($_POST['choice'.$i]))
{
$choice[$i] = $_POST['choice'.$i];
}
}
foreach ($choice as $one_choice)
{
echo $one_choice;
}
Cheers!

Why not just use extract() on the $_POST values with a pre-defined
list of variables and use the EXTR_IF_EXISTS option to make it more
secure?

You should always give the full error message which would include the line
number. Furthermore you should always point out which line of your code is
the line number in question.

echo ${"choices$j"}, NL;
Please note that using variable variables isn't recommended. Using arrays
makes the code much clearer. I believe that you 'chose' to use variable
variables because you had to do some processing in Javascript, read
manual > PHP and HTML
to see how to handle PHP's array naming conventions under Javascript.

Re: [PHP] Sessions in Frames...confused
PHP, and it's sessions, knows absolutely nothing about frames. A frame is just another page, the browser just happens to display it inside of another page. From a session standpoint, you should treat each frame as an independent page.

If I understand correctly, have you tried this instead of the above code :

i found it.

You have a typo in your code. You are typing $i instead of $j. You
should write instead:
$choices.$j= $_POST['choice'.$j];

[PHP] Making variables with an iteration?
I've got some inputs, which I need to tie down to only have 4 come in from. The
javascript to verify it is working somewhat, however I want to create the
parsing script to loop through the inputs (choice) and then dump them into
$choice1, $choice2, $choice3, $choice4 respectively.
I have to use checkboxes with different names with the javascript checkers I am
using, since they seem to be working, however I can't seem to get the PHP in the
parser to write the variables. Any ideas?
for ($j=1, $j<5, $j++)
{
$choices.$j= $_POST['choice'.$i];
}

RE: [PHP] Making variables with an iteration?
I might be wrong but I don't think you can reference variable names in that
way. You probably need something like this:
for ($j=1, $j<5, $j++)
{
$tempChoice = "choice" . $j;
$$tempChoice = $_POST['choice'.$j];
}
And that should create your $choice1.. $choice2 etc.

With register_globals enabled, the problem is not with the $_POST, $_GET etc
variables (although yes you should always validate data when they come from
untrusted sources). The problem is that malicious users can pollute your
namespace and if you do not initialise variables properly before using them
your application can be compromised.
For example, you have a flag ($admin) which you set to 1 if the person logged
in has admin privileges. If you don't initialise $admin and only do something
like ...
if ($user == 'admin' AND $password == 'password') {
$admin = 1;
}
// later in your code
if ($admin == 1) {
echo "Hello admin";
} else {
die ("Go away");
}
... it is all too easy for a malicious person to access your protected page
like so:
http://www.example.com/admin-page.php?admin=1
and they would have admin privileges.
If you had initialised $admin to some known, safe value before using it then
you have no problems.
So either of these would be fine:
$admin = 0;
if ($user == 'admin' AND $password == 'password') {
$admin = 1;
}
// or
if ($user == 'admin' AND $password == 'password') {
$admin = 1;
} else {
$admin = 0;
}

Re: [PHP] How to get 2 columns to display?
You need a way to make new table rows...
if you want to do it ever other image, then just add a counter variable,
incrememnt it each time and if it is even then make a new table row.
(Also if the images are two big, the browser may put them on a new line, so you
might have to look into shrinking the images..)

Are you using sessions? If yes, then the session file is locked for
access and each instance of getcamimage.php has to wait for previous one
to finish and unlock the session file. You can however call
session_write_close() to end the session after you don't need it anymore.

[PHP] Trouble with do..while
Hi all,
I have that script in php that should print on a page the result of lot of
pages defined in this way:
This is the address: www.mysite.com/mypage.php?idx=1&lines=50
It work in this way: if idx=1 and lines=50 my page will look like:
element1
element2
..
element50
if idx=5 and lines=5 my page will look like:
element5
element6
element7
element8
element9
Changing everytime the idx i have new pages so, thats are my variables:
$idx = "www.mysite.com/mypage.php?idx=";
idx_n=1;
$lines="&lines=50";
I let the variable $lines still to 50 and i'll increase $idx_n of 50 for
show all elements i need.
do {
$link = $idx.$idx_n.$lines;
$idx_n=$idx_n + 50;
$f=fopen($link,"r");
$data = "";
do {
$stream = fread($f, 8192);
if (strlen($stream) == 0) {
break;
}
$data .= $stream;
} while (true);
fclose($f);
$data=substr($data,strlen($DontNeed),strlen($data));
$pos=stripos($data, $TillHere);
$data=substr($data,0,$pos);
here I clean the $data variable of things I don't need.
echo $data;
} while ($idx_n < 156700);
My trouble is that this "do..while" never keeps all elements.
Generally $idx_n break with value=1601 or 1301 but never show all elements
and its like the script crash cause everything I can write after isnt'
showed.
I simply tried to write after "while" an echo "Its Done"; but isn't showed.
And in the html file that is generated aren't printed neither the tags
for close the file.
Simply it crash.
Do someone have some ideas about it?
I would really apprecciate some words about it cause I'm not able to think
at any solutions..
Just..that maybe is something with server? Isn't able to provide so fastly
all requests?

What you can do is create a symlink for article.php - ln -s article.php article That way you'll edit and upload file as 'article.php' and apache will see it as 'article'. This also solves the problem whereby some editors does syntax highlighting based on the filename's extension. A filename of 'article' has no extension and hence no highlighting (unless you manually set it each time you load and edit the file). -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* * BenC wonders why he has upgraded to 3.3.5-1 before teh X maintainer */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

A couple things:
'article.php' will have to become just 'article' for the above to work
(unless you can do rewriting, but you indicated that you don't have
access to your httpd.conf file). The directions for doing that are
above; just substitute 'article' for 'index' in the area.
Second, you have to map the placement of each argument in the PATH_INFO
to a variable. So, based on the url you just provided, you'd do
something like this:
$pi = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']; // Grab PATH_INFO; this will look
// like /file/XXX/year/ based on
// your example above
$pi = substr($pi, 1);// Remove the opening slash
$args = split('/', $pi); // Create array of arguments
for ($i = 0; $i < count($args); $i + 2) {
$key = $args[$i]; // Grab variable name from even-keyed
// arguments
$val = $args[$i + 1]; // Grab value from odd arguments
$$key = $val; // Use dynamic variable assignment
}
Basically, with PATH_INFO, YOU have to do the work of determining where
items in the url map to variables for your script.

[PHP] Sessions and subdomains issues
Goodmorning all, My application (a third party customized cms) shares sessions across the main site and the two subdomains - or at least it should I have 'php_value session.cookie_domain ".mysite.com" and'php_value session.cookie_path "/" all set in htaccess The sesions are stored in a db and are not functioning correctly across the subdomains - example: if i log in at the main www domain then go the subdom1.mysite.com i am not logged in there. The subdomains have their own db's but share tables for sessions and some other stuff with the main site. As it's a third party app i can be no more specific unless someone would be kind enough to tell me what to look for or what info to provide. So, here is my question: * Are there any "common pitfalls" you can think of that i should look at? * Have I set the domain and path correctly for this to work? any help in regard to what direction to take to track down the problem would be really appreciated, much thanks for you time... -- Nick W -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
