You don't have to put anything specific, it just stops the script from
executing.
You can optionally put text in there. I like using die() for some reason
(shorter? more.. err.. aggressive? hah) so I'll using commands like:
die(Made it to this point...);
I might use this to see if I got to a certain conditional or not..
Anyway, if you're getting that error, then there's definitely something being
sent before the header() is executed.
Check any require() or include() files, check all the code above your header()
statement. So far I've never seen or heard of any bugs with header() where
it'd mysteriously bomb out in this manner, it's always been something output
and it's always been something people kick themselves for not seeing before. hah
Keep looking, you'll find it.

when I put the die statment in and test the form I get, the html prior to
the form and what I put in my die statement eg:made it to this point. The
form submits and I get the info, but I am not redirected to the Thanks page.
My question is how do I determine from this what is causing my error?

Well, the stupid/obvious question is: are you checking $_COOKIE
('username') like you posted or $_COOKIE['username'], which is
syntactically correct?
Secondarily, have you set your browser to prompt you when a cookie is
sent and, if so, what happens?

[PHP] Detect file size BEFORE upload it
Hi, I have been trying _several_ ways to control the size of the files that can be uploaded in a form. The problem is that I was able to detect file size after complete file is transfered. I need to detect file size before all file is transfered, in order to cancel it and preserve server resources. Any ideas?

entities, all DTD's are parsed too. I thought about something similar
to java - there I can have servlet which lives all the time the
server lives. It can load XML and parse it only for the first time
and send DOM objects to another servlets.
I need something similar with PHP, can it be done?
This question seems to come up every other week on this list. Have a
look at APC[1]; you can cache objects with its apc_store() and
apc_fetch() functions.

Hi,
it's not working at all. And it could never work. I don't think it's
funny to write false advices to people every other week.
I've installed APC cache, tried to save XML. It was not working.
apc_fetch returned NULL every time.
$dom = apc_fetch(dom);
if ($dom === false) {
$dom = new DomDocument();
$dom-load(browsers.html);
$store = apc_store(dom, $dom);
echo store finished: $store;
}
echo $dom-saveXML();
When I looked into documentation for APC - there is this sentence: And
apc_store() currently doesn't work at all for (internal) classes in PHP5
right now.. And all the XML stuff is what? Internal PHP5 classes!
Please don't confuse people with false edvices next time. Better to say
nothing then solutions that are not working. I lost lot of time and got
only ton of disapointment.
And still no solution to my problem :(.

Do I need to use Pear to specify port 587 and authentication when sending mail? I could not find any way to do it using mail(). Windows or Unix? On Windows you can set the port by setting smtp_port in php.ini. Unix doesn't appear to have a direct equivalent, but you might be able to do something with sendmail_path?

[PHP] How do I POST data with headers make the browser follow?
Hi guys/girls, I have to apologize if this issue has been discussed in detail before but I couldn't find anything obvious so far. What I need/want to do is to : 1. Take POST data from a form (no problem) 2. Do whatever i need to on the target page (no problem) 3. Pass some other data on to a 3rd page as a POST request. 4. Get the browser to follow to said 3rd page. All this is happening via SSL. So basically what i am trying to do is to fake whatever happens at a normal POST request that is handled by the browser. Now point 4. in my example above is giving me a massive headache, I have managed to pass data on to the 3rd page as POST quite comfortably using cURL but the browser doesn't follow (ie. the URL in the address bar remains unchanged). I did see that there is a FOLLOWLOCATION option you can set in cURL when you do you request, and though wicked, just what I needed only to find out that it's not working (probably because I understand what it does wrong). Pretty pretty please if anyone knows a solution for the above, let me know. Oh, and I'd also like to add that the information I am trying to get to the 3rd page in the example is sensitive (Credit Card details etc.), so $_GET and $_COOKIE are out of the question. ANY help would be appreciated.

I need to detect file size before all file is transfered, in order to cancel it and preserve server resources. Any ideas? The only way to do it would be to write your own client uploading application in the likes of Java or ActiveX. Anything client side is always going to fail because it doesn't know about the size of the file until it has it, by which point it's too late.

Re: [PHP] How do I POST data with headers make the browser follow?
If the information is sensitive, why are you trying to fake a POST submission? A POST can be received from anywhere. SSL is just encrypting it, not verifying the client is the same. I would use session variables to store information you need to access from page to page. That way you can verify that you are talking to the same computer from the first two pages.

Hi, it seems you have no understanding how http protocol works.. I can't learn you the whole thing, but I can give you some hints. Read something about HTTP (http://www.digital-web.com/articles/powering_the_web_with_http/), install some network sniffer (ethereal, HttpWatch for IE - great tool for beginners) and see what happens. - you cannot force browser to POST something somewhere with PHP. You have to realize, that PHP is running on server, but the browser is the client. - you cannot use curl to do it. With curl it all happens on the server. If you want to use curl, you have to use same technique used by web based anonymous proxy. Return all loaded data to client, rewrite urls to your script, handle everything correctly until client closes browser. Very complex stuff - followlocation has nothing to do with browser. it only says to curl to evaluate Location header and do auto-redirection - sensitive information? GET, POST, COOKIE, everything could be intercepted - your only help is javascript. You can generate something like this to client browser with php. But you couldn't hide sensitive information this way. body onload=document.forms.myform.submit() form name=myform method=post input type=hidden name=... value=... /form - think about your problem and possible solutions again Petr -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Re: form not submitting when I change action from PHP_SELF to thanks page
Check to make sure absolutely nothing before the header() function is outputing
anything. No echos, no prints, no var_dumps, no HTML or even blank lines.
If it's something tangible like an echo or print or something, then putting an
exit()/die() function right before the header() function then looking at the
HTML source that you get should show you what the offending output is.
But again, if I recall, it can be something as simple as an empty line.

If it's something tangible like an echo or print or something, then
putting an exit()/die() function right before the header() function then
looking at the HTML source that you get should show you what the offending
output is.
But again, if I recall, it can be something as simple as an empty line.
-
?php
// This should work because there's no output or white space above
header()
header('Location: thanks.php');

?php

Re: [PHP] Detect file size BEFORE upload it
I know that part of the POST transaction with the client and web server
involves sending the 'content-length'.. there's no way to tap into that before
the file's uploaded though I guess.
(example of how to manually POST using Python at leastfound here:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/146306)
Failing that.. I think someone had mentioned Java, but here's a quick and dirty
way to do it in Javascript (found on:
https://lists.latech.edu/pipermail/javascript/2003-April/005190.html)
var myFile = new File(c:\temp\myfile.txt);
myFile.open(r);
alert('myFile length: ' + myFile.getLength());
Havn't tested it, but I'd rather use a tiny Javascript than a Java applet.
My apologies if I missed something in the thread, I kind of speed read through
it and wasn't going to respond, but it was nagging at the back of my brain so I
had to do a quick search or two.. hah

[PHP] SOAP problem, (related to gethostbyname?)
I'm using the PEAR Soap package and having problem accessing another sites's
webservices. When i
do something like this:
?PHP
$wsdl_url = 'some_wsdl.xml';
$WSDL = new SOAP_WSDL($wsdl_url);
$client = $WSDL-getProxy();
$web_service_result = $client -
some_web_service($param1,$param2,$param3,$param4);
?
$web_service_result returns the soap_fault Object. The message portion contains
the line
curl_exec error 6 Couldn't resolve host 'secure.example.com' Also if i try
to grab the WSDL
file from the remote server the script doesn't seem to grab the WSDL ( i get a
bunch of Passed
variable is not an array or object errors ). I think the problem is curl can't
resolve the
hostname.
Also if i run
?PHP
echo gethostbyname('http://bugs.php.net');
?
It echos http://bugs.php.net;, no good.
When i try something like
?PHP
$url = 'https://secure.example.com/index.html';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,TRUE);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$cur_error = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;
echo BR Error: .$cur_error;
?
It doesn't echo out anything, however if run curl
https://secure.example.com/index.html; from the
command line i get back the page found at that address.
I'm running PHP Version 4.3.4 with CURL support enabled (CURL Information:
libcurl 7.9.8 (OpenSSL
0.9.7c) (ipv6 enabled) ) on Red Had.
If i ping 'secure.example.com' the address resolves properly.
Any tips on things to try? Should i reinstall curl? SSL? Anything else i should
investigate?

[PHP] Re: [PHP-DB] Search Replace within PHP
str_replace() is the first thing that comes to mind. From the manual:
// Provides: body text='black'
$bodytag = str_replace(%body%, black, body text='%body%');
Using %keyword% and is kind of a template style method, but has worked out well
for me (and I assume others) so try something along those lines.
You can also use arrays with str_replace to indicate a list of things that need
replacing:
$template = Please forward this to %NAME% at %ADDRESS%. Call them at %PHONE%
if there's a problem;
$tags = array(%NAME%, %ADDRESS%, %PHONE%);
$userinfoQY = select Name, Address, Phone from users;
$userinfoRS = mysql_query($userinfoQY);
while($userinfoRW = mysql_fetch_assoc($userinfoRS)){
$userinfo = array($userinfoRW['Name'], $userinfoRW['Address'],
$userinfoRW['Phone']);
echo str_replace($tags, $userinfo, $templte);
}
Is that the answer you were looking for?

Is there a search replace PHP command?
An example I am needing this for would be:
My name is replace_with_real_name
I want to retrieve replace_with_real_name from a mySQL database and put in
the name ... the key is that I want to put the person's name in various
position ... so I want to search for something like replace_with_real_name
and be able to put it anywhere in the sentence.

Re: [PHP] Detect file size BEFORE upload it
Yeah, you're right. I didn't test that before I posted it.
Looks like you can do it as long as your clients are running Windows and you
can use Active X or another Windows trick using something like JScript, but
with pure Javascript it looks bleak.
I tried to use something like this:
img = New Image();
img.src = somefile.ext; // NOT an image file
alert(img.fileSize);
But found out that this is an IE-only trick as well. Nobody else seems to
support the filesize property on image objects. Funny thing is, even in IE it
didn't work. Even when I actually used an image for the file name.
Oh well.. guess that Java applet might be the best way then, to keep it cross
platform and all that.

Some Ideas:
Internet Explorer, and those that mimic its broken behaviour, require
BOTH a time AND a directory (use '/') if you are going to provide a
time.
Is 15552000 sufficiently in the future to be valid? Use time() +
(60*60*24) to be SURE.
Or avoid both these issues, and leave out the time argument for now,
making it a session cookie, only valid as long as the browser stays
open.
DEFINITELY configure your browser to let you confirm cookies before
accepting them, so you'll know what the cookie is getting sent.
Windows XP with Service Pack 2 has made a nightmare out of cookies, by
default no longer accepting them -- And I THINK this changes based on
your adding that new goofy compact privacy policy header Microsoft
made up.
It's gotten to the point where I just don't care if IE works or not
for the parts of some of my sites that require member login from
people who need access, and I don't really care if I lose visitors or
not in that particular area. I just tell the users to switch
browsers, or live without the access they want. Works so far -- they
just switch to a better browser.

Re: [PHP] How do I POST data with headers make the browser follow?
The information that comes in from the first page is a creditcard form with the standard values (CCnumber, Expiry Date, Cardholder name etc). On page 2 an XMLrequest is done with a verification gateway (in this case to check for enrolment in 3D-Secure), the result for that I get back on the same page and no redirection needs to be done. However AFTER the enrolment check with the gateway I need to send the user along to the 3rd page, which is a URL that is provided by the verification process. So to get there, as I need to pass a heap of data to that 3rd page I can either use GET or POST, but since the amount of data is fairly big the only real option for this part seems POST. So it's not really about keeping the data persistent, it's more about the fact on how to push the user along correctly. Hope that makes sense somehow.

[PHP] Linux/PHP and Windows/MSSQL
Knowing that I'm not the only one to want to connect to Microsoft SQL Server on Windows from PHP and Apache on Linux, I'm seeking advice. I set up a proof-of-concept application, using Gentoo Linux (with which I'm most familiar) as my base. Being a compile-from-source distribution with a lot of packages available, I simply had to set the mssql USE flag and emerge freetds and php. Voila; connectivity. Not surprisingly, now that my organization has decided to go with PHP on Linux, management wants to use a commercially supported distribution (Red Hat or Novell/SUSE). I was surprised to discover that I couldn't find RPMs for freetds, nor could I find php-mssql RPMs, and the php RPMs available in the yum repositories weren't compiled with --with-mssql. Is my only recourse to build freetds and php from source? I'm certainly capable of doing it, but I won't be the server administrator and I think it defeats what management wants to accomplish with a commercially supported distro (package management with easy updates). Is anybody in a similar environment that has an easy solution, or can anybody offer advice?

Re: [PHP] Linux/PHP and Windows/MSSQL
Hi Rick, FreeTDS is still a fast moving target and so is PHP in some areas. Getting pre-compiled RPM's would often force you to run older versions. Compiling from source enables you to keep up to date with the latest features and bug-fixes. If you are running this on multiple computers it's not a big task to copy all files from one test/development box to a number of other systems, as long as the configurations are the same. - Frank Knowing that I'm not the only one to want to connect to Microsoft SQL Server on Windows from PHP and Apache on Linux, I'm seeking advice.

Not positive how to do this as I personally despise RPM but I know it can be done. Check the man pages. It is possible to create RPMs (Redhat package manager files) using Gentoo's Portage, but it is not currently possible to use already existing RPMs to install packages.

[PHP] Re: How do I POST data with headers make the browser follow?
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: php-general@lists.php.net Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2005 15:04:41 +0200 From: Petr Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How do I POST data with headers make the browser follow? I have to apologize if this issue has been discussed in detail before but I couldn't find anything obvious so far. What I need/want to do is to : 1. Take POST data from a form (no problem) 2. Do whatever i need to on the target page (no problem) 3. Pass some other data on to a 3rd page as a POST request. 4. Get the browser to follow to said 3rd page. All this is happening via SSL. So basically what i am trying to do is to fake whatever happens at a normal POST request that is handled by the browser. Now point 4. in my example above is giving me a massive headache, I have managed to pass data on to the 3rd page as POST quite comfortably using cURL but the browser doesn't follow (ie. the URL in the address bar remains unchanged). I did see that there is a FOLLOWLOCATION option you can set in cURL when you do you request, and though wicked, just what I needed only to find out that it's not working (probably because I understand what it does wrong). Pretty pretty please if anyone knows a solution for the above, let me know. Oh, and I'd also like to add that the information I am trying to get to the 3rd page in the example is sensitive (Credit Card details etc.), so $_GET and $_COOKIE are out of the question. Hi, it seems you have no understanding how http protocol works.. I can't learn you the whole thing, but I can give you some hints. Read something about HTTP (http://www.digital-web.com/articles/powering_the_web_with_http/), install some network sniffer (ethereal, HttpWatch for IE - great tool for beginners) and see what happens. - you cannot force browser to POST something somewhere with PHP. You have to realize, that PHP is running on server, but the browser is the client. - you cannot use curl to do it. With curl it all happens on the server. If you want to use curl, you have to use same technique used by web based anonymous proxy. Return all loaded data to client, rewrite urls to your script, handle everything correctly until client closes browser. Very complex stuff - followlocation has nothing to do with browser. it only says to curl to evaluate Location header and do auto-redirection - sensitive information? GET, POST, COOKIE, everything could be intercepted - your only help is javascript. You can generate something like this to client browser with php. But you couldn't hide sensitive information this way. body onload=document.forms.myform.submit() form name=myform method=post input type=hidden name=... value=... /form - think about your problem and possible solutions again Petr Hi Petr, thanks for the reply, first off i certainly didn't claim to be an expert on the HTTP, which is why i was asking the question I did. I do realise that PHP runs on the server and can't force the browser to do anything directly, I was merely wondering why header(Location:); got the browser to follow and if there was a way for me to get the same behaiviour working when PHP was posting data. Anyway, I will look at my problem at hand again and will try something else. Thanks for the tips. -- Highspeed-Freiheit. Bei GMX supergünstig, z.B.
