Hi List,
I want to set the cookie in which that cookie would be deleted automatically as
visitor closes the browser. I have read an article
from www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie and it is told me that we can
set that cookie by unset the value time, but it doesn't
work.
Example:
Setcookie($var, $value, time(), $path, $domain, $secure_binary);
time() = without adding.
Any one can tell me the other way ..
Thank in advance.

When you just use time() you tell the cookie to just live until now, so it
dies directly. You have to add some seconds to determine how long the cookie
will live.

Unfortunately, no...
The above solution relies on the USER computer clock being set correctly.
And while it might mostly kinda sorta usually work, that's not really
super reliable.
Using 0 for the time, however, is HTTP Spec for session cookie which
means the cookie will disappear when the browser is quit.
Note that stupidity on the part of MS engineers makes the path
parameter required when you include the time parameter.
I.e., the cookie spec was implemented not as:
setcookie(var, value, [time], [path], ...)
but was instead implemented as:
setcookie(var, value, [time, path], ...)
The inclusing of time requires the inclusion of path
The path of / should work the same as the intended default behaviour.

I want to increase the speed connection by taking such image from client's computer when it's already set (just like cookie or cache) If you are using an image tag, and if the URL does not change for any given image, and if the headers do not have no-cache, and if the headers do have a reasonable expiration then all browsers will cache the image. In addition, if the first two conditions are met, IE will probably cache the damn thing anyway, whether it should or not. :-( This leads to the opposite problem of IE caching DYNAMIC images when it should not, which is a whole different rant. :-) Oh, plus, AOHell will re-sample and re-compress and cache your images, to decrease bandwidth. AOLusers can over-ride this in their own settings, if they can figure out how to click through AOL's interface hell to do that.

No.
HTTP_REFERER is completely unreliable.
If you want to be sure of the source of your POST data coming from
your form, you need to send a unique unpredictable token in the FORM,
and log it when you send the FORM, and then compare what comes back.

The next problem is that replacing newline (in any form) with BR on the INPUT phase of your program is just a Bad Idea. :-) The INPUT data should be kept sacrosanct and the OS-dependent newlines should be converted to newlines. If the data is output later to a browser, nl2br() should be used. Because someday you may want to output that same data to RSS, XML, or XYZ, in which case BR is NOT what you want for your newlines. -- 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

[PHP] Chicago PHP Conference
It may have started as a joke on PHP-General, but this just isn't funny anymore. I'm in the pre-planning phase of organizing a PHP Conference in Chicago. Due to Chicago weather patterns, the ideal time would be Spring or Autumn. Given that cheap airfare generally requires significant advance notice, I am pre-emptorily eliminating Autumn 2006 as a viable option. If you are interested in attending please reply OFF-LIST with your name, email, and some basic input for ideal time-frames in the FALL or SPRING of 2007. Suggested Topics would be great, and offers to be a Speaker by well-known responders would also be MOST welcome.

[PHP] New Large Scale Project.
I'm looking to do a fairly large scale project. The problem is I don't know how much of it to write myself how much I could get away with using existing components (modified as necessary). Basically the different areas I would need are authentication, galleries (for images), permission levels. Internal messaging (not real time), forums (hopefully I can just plugin an existing one but intregrated with my new so that registering users for the site registers for the forum and vice versa, also I would like each new gallery entry to create a new forum entry for that image). Comments, ratings and such like. Sales (This would have to be a script written elsewhere, I am in no way confident when it comes to dealing with sensitve info like credit card details.) etc. etc. My other problem is even though I'm confident coding I find design very difficult I've a good idea of how the website would work but only in general terms. Out of the box mambo or drupal doesn't seem to do what I want really (obviously) but maybe they would give a good foundation in which to plugin my own building blocks, has anyone tried this?

Now I have added to a singel VHost directive ifModule mod_actions.c Action application/x-httpd-php /cgi-bin/php5 /ifModule and NOT restarted Apache as written. I have killed it and then started from scratch but nothing is working... Then I have removed libapache-mod-php5 and now Mozilla let me download the php files and if I use http://domain/server-info I see the mod_actions enabled and the Action is configured. Now I have restarted the Server again and I get an error 500. I would expect User/Group inside of VHost to give error 500... The problem is, that I need libapache-mod-php5 on all VHosts, but php-cgi only on 7. The action bit SHOULD work for this part. So what is the secret to get suphp running? I dunno nothing about suphp. Yet I have reinstalled libapache-mod-php5 and the Website is working again, but I can not use 'fopen(/home/server/log/some.log, a)'. I need suphp only on those 7 VHosts, since the must write to some files OUTSIDE of the $DOCUMENTROOT but in the USERSPACE of the VHost. suphp should allow this, in theory, as I understand it... But I don't think the Apache User/Group settings inside of VHost is the way to make suphp to work, as I don't think Apache will allow that in the first place, which I think is causing your 500 error. -- 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

[PHP] Internet Explorer doesn't display UTF-8 page using UTF-8 encoding
but Firefox does. this is the page: http://shiinaringo.se/guestbook.php You can see that a lot of characters (Swedish, Japanese) are totally garbled when using IE. Works fine in FF. If you try to look at some of the other pages linked to in the menu, they will work with IE as well. So I just don't know what is the problem with this one page. All pages on this site includes a header file which starts with: ---cut--- ?php echo '?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?';? !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd; html head meta name=Content-type content=text/html; charset=UTF-8 / ---cut--- Which means that in my view I tell the browser through the meta tag which charset is used (UTF-8). However IE doesn't seem to give a damn about this. I'm pulling my hair. :-(
[PHP] Re: Internet Explorer doesn't display UTF-8 page using UTF-8 encoding
...btw, I have been thinking, does IE only display UTF8 pages if the source file is saved using UTF8 *including* the BOM? I save all pages without the BOM because using BOM is impossible when you need to set cookies on client.
[PHP] Re: Internet Explorer doesn't display UTF-8 page using UTF-8 encoding
It's me again. I might have solved it... in a way. Still quite puzzled about
why IE don't give a dime about the meta encoding line in the html head tag.
Here's what I did. The aforementioned header file now adds a header()
statement sending a content-type that also tells the charset, utf-8. :
---snip---
?php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
echo '?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?';?
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd;
html
head
meta name=Content-type content=text/html; charset=UTF-8 /
---snip---
I don't know if it's the best way to solve it but IE seems happy with it,
and I haven't seen any sideeffects in FF so far.
Re: [PHP] Re: Internet Explorer doesn't display UTF-8 page using UTF-8 encoding
IE doesn't actually support XHTML, so if your primary target for
something is IE, you really shouldn't be using XHTML. Even IE7 doesn't
fully support it.
Setting the charset in the response header like you did is the best
approach. You can do it for all your pages in your php.ini file with:
default_charset = UTF-8
If you want to do it in your page contents, it needs to look like this:
META HTTP-EQUIV=CONTENT-TYPE CONTENT=text/html; charset=UTF-8
Your attempt with the xml header would have worked if IE knew what the
heck XHTML was.
By the way, everyone should be setting a charset. If you don't set it,
IE will look at the first 4k of the body of the page and take a wild
guess. If it guesses wrong, typically because someone injected UTF-7
into your page, then you have an XSS on your hands.
