Hi
I'm a bit stuck on session var, and thier implamentation, or my perseption
thier of.
I have a page and need certian vars to be persistat each time the page is
called.
This is done to detmin the content of the page through logic that calls
different includes.

But I cant get the vars to be persistant.
note the page call it's self.

./index.php
?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['menu']

?
htmlA href=./index.php?menu=1option 1/A/html // this works
htmlA href=./index.php?other=dodiffernt action/A/html // this brakes
it . when the user links here the 'menu' var is cleared
?php $_SESSION['menu'] = $_GET['menu'];
echo $_SESSION['menu'];

?

I would like the menu var (and others) to be persistant until it is reset or
updated. how do I acheave this .

Thanks

Gregory,

Are you always setting $_SESSION['menu'] to the contents of
$_GET['menu']?  If so, the second link will set $_SESSION['menu'] to
null.  You need to check the contents of $_GET['menu'] first before
setting, i.e.

if (isset($_GET['menu']))
$_SESSION['menu'] = $_GET['menu'];

Cheers,

David Grant

put the executable into another directory rather than DOC_ROOT,
maybe you have reached apache security settings.
or try add `option +exec' to your apache conf, but be aware this maybe
a security problem to your site to do so.

   The answer is probably in your php.ini. Look into whether you are
   running in safe mode or not, and if you are whether you have your
   program in the safe_mode_exec_dir or not. Also check disable_functions
   to see if any of the ones you are having trouble with are listed.

2005-11-24 Thread Sebastian \En3pY\ Zdrojewski
Try verifying the following:

- does the web server user (apache/nobody) have a shell?
- can the web server user/group execute the file? (x permission)

I believe this is your problem, the exec option for the apache would be
useful if you need to run an executable from the apache service, not from
the command line.

Check out the earlier and I think you're gonna solve your issue.

Gregory,

Values in the $_SESSION superglobal will persist over pages so long as
session_start() is called on each page.

x wouldn't display because it depends on $_GET['item'] being set,
which isn't.  Try var_dump($_SESSION) instead of the conditional echoing
of the variables.

  Gregory,
 
  Are you always setting $_SESSION['menu'] to the contents of
  $_GET['menu']?  If so, the second link will set
 $_SESSION['menu'] to
  null.  You need to check the contents of $_GET['menu'] first
 before
  setting, i.e.
 
  if (isset($_GET['menu']))
  $_SESSION['menu'] = $_GET['menu'];
 
  Cheers,

[PHP] Re: preg_match_all for dummies

2005-11-24 Thread n.g.
lookbehind assertion require fixed length string as its parameter.
but you intend to put arbitary length string between `!--' and `[!'
so the solution can be
1, remove html comments first before do bbcode expansion.
2, change bbcode tags to something like `[!-- .* --!]', that is define
a new tag of bbcode comments, which is independent to html comments.

This is not how you use html tags -- you need one html tag at the beginning 
of your output page, and one /html tag at the end.

Additionally, you shouldn't need to strip_tags(SID) -- if the constant SID 
exists, it will be well-formed.

What are the value of your session.use_trans_sid, session.use_cookies and 
session.use_only_cookies settings?

[PHP] Regexp trouble

2005-11-24 Thread Andy Pieters
Hi list

I still fail to understand why regular expressions are causing me such a hard 
time.

I used and tested my regexp in kregexpeditor (comes with Quanta [kdewebdev]) 
but when I put it in the php script it fails.

ereg('^([\w]{3,3})[\s]([\d]{2,2})[\s]([\d]{2,2})[:]([\d]{2,2})[:]([\d]{2,2})'

Does not match my query string.

Which is

Nov 22 06:51:36

Any ideas why?  I mean Line start, followed by 3 word chars, followed by a 
space, followed by 2 digits, followed by a space, followed by two digits, 
folowed by a colon followed by 2 digits and followed by a colon, should match 
that date?

With kind regards

Hi!

Why don't you use 'preg_match'? And why do you use all those character
classes?


This:

code
$subject = 'Nov 22 06:51:36';
$pattern = '/^(\w{3})\s(\d{2})\s(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})/';
if (preg_match($pattern, $subject, $matches)) {
print_r($matches);
}
/code


nicely prints:

Array
(
[0] = Nov 22 06:51:36
[1] = Nov
[2] = 22
[3] = 06
[4] = 51
[5] = 36
)

[PHP] Re: Can't execute external program

2005-11-24 Thread Sandy Keathley
  Here is the php I've created, fairly simple:
  ?php
  exec(/var/www/html/myprog -E 123456789098.dat sample1.txt
  sample1.new);
  phpinfo();
  ?

  From the command line it runs perfectly

A PHP script runs with the permissions of the user that Apache 
runs as, usually nobody.  When run from the command line, it 
inherits a different set of permissions (i.e., root).

One option would be to put a copy of the executable in another 
directory, but OUTSIDE of your DOCROOT, and give it the same
ownership and perms as nobody (or whatever Apache runs as).

Of course, this makes your script 100% non-portable, if that 
matters.  It is also possible that the executable may not run, if it 
depends on compiled libraries elsewhere on the server.

Well, first of all the square brackets in [\w] aren't needed, \w already
means 'any word character'.

Secondly, [a-zA-Z] is not the same as \w:
 A word character is any letter or digit or the underscore character,
that is, any character which can be part of a Perl word. The
definition of letters and digits is controlled by PCRE's character
tables, and may vary if locale-specific matching is taking place (see
Locale support above). For example, in the fr (French) locale, some
character codes greater than 128 are used for accented letters, and
these are matched by \w. 
[http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php]

Anyway I'm not really a great RegExp expert, a good starting point for
understanding regexp and PHP is, as usual, the manual:

[PHP] session cookies, domain (host:port) issues

2005-11-24 Thread anirudh dutt
hi
some thoughts on session cookies...
when setting the domain for the cookie, u could use
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] which would be 'example.com' or
'www.example.com' i.e.
session_set_cookie_params(30*60, '/', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], false);
(assuming u don't want to set it for subdomains)

if the webserver isn't running on port 80 then $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
is 'example.com:101'. on www.example.com:101 or sub.example.com:101,
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] is 'example.com' in which case the browser
rejects it (which it's supposed to). ofcourse this could be solved by
doing something like
list ($host, $port) = split(':', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
$host is 'sub.example.com'
$port is '101'

if the 'domain' parameter in session_set_cookie_params is empty or not
specified along with the 'secure' field, it's handled properly by the
server, accepted by the browser, etc. strange that not specifying it
helps since u'd want ur script to run regardless of the server config
and as long as u can set certain parameters and control whether it
applies to subdomains or the primary domain.

set-cookie2 supports the port directive (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2965.html)
Port[=portlist]
dunno about implementation or browser support.

it would be good if the php handled this either using set-cookie2 or
stripping it from the domain...similar behaviour to when it's not
specified.

a comment was posted about this on the setcookie page
(http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php#36202) which i think
should be added to the function docs.
