RE: [PHP] Poblem with sesions

Have you tried to print_r($_SESSION) on all the pages so that you can see
what the $_SESSION is containing and how it is changing?

Subject: [PHP] Poblem with sesions

Hi , I am having problem with log in and log out . I have a main
login page where one can login with the username and password
stored in mysql database.
PHP Code:



location.href='$adminAddress'; 
exit();
}
else if ($accesslevel == "user") {
$_SESSION['level'] = "user";
$_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['UserName'];
$_SESSION["userid"] = login($_POST);
include ('userlogin.php');
exit();
}
}
else {
//$_SESSION['loggedIn'] = false;
unset ($_SESSION['userid']);
unset ($_SESSION['username']);
unset ($_SESSION['level']);
echo "Error :$error";
}
}
//ob_end_flush();
?>





so after login user is directed to the corresponding page.

The problem is that when some user is logged in to the user page
or admin page, at the same time if i want to login to the user
page from other computers , it lets me login but after that
whatever link i click in userlogin page, takes me back to login
page. And i have to log in to userpage and click on log out and
then it will work.
its quite strange and i dont know why it is acting like this.
Also in userlogin page i am have a link to other page which i am
calling by
PHP Code:

 if ($_GET['mode'] == "basketball"){
include ('basket_closed.php');
}
and link is userlogin.php?mode=basketball 



My Log out script is
PHP Code:





I need help on this...i couldn't came up with any clue, Any idea..
i really appreciate your help

The problem is in the rest your code, not the regex, otherwise it would
fail every time.  Please post the code after removing sensitive
passwords and other information, but leave as unaltered as possible.
Only then can anyone help debug this problem.

I pasted this right from my PHP file, so it is correct. Just to elaborate. I
have tested this until my eyes are bleeding.

Sometimes this works sometimes it doesn't.

One minute !!!##$$ This is a test &&%% will work the way it is supposed to,
the next minute it does not.

It seems that the first time through it is fine, but on the second time and
on it is not.
So if I keep hitting submit on my form with the above string, it will be ok
on the first submit, but on subsequent submits it says there are invalid
characters.

Suffice it to say, it is wonky. It seems like it works when it wants to.

Thanks

Perhaps the code in your email, that is working for other people, is not 
the same code that you are testing and having problems with. Perhaps you 
should try clipboarding the code from the email into a file to test 
yourself. Perhaps there is a typo in the code you are actually testing, 
so that it is not the same as the code in the email you sent to the 
list. Anyway, you can test that by clipboarding the code from your 
email, like others are doing, and testing it.

[PHP] Classified Ads Script

[Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists)]

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to put up a local classified ads website and I'm looking
for an open-source script for this.

I've already had some links from Google and Sourceforge but I'd like
to get some opinions on people who've already run a classifieds
website as to what they're using and what they think of it.

Best Regards,
Matt

If you want help, you must provide some example text strings that are to be 
matched.  You keep posting your pattern and that's the problem.

Two things that come to mind...

1) If there are 100 records in there, is the value of the 'index' column
exactly 1-100?  It won't do any good to give it a random value of 1-100 if
your records are numbered 101-200 :P

2) INDEX is a mysql keyword.  Try putting backticks around it.
"... WHERE `index` = $randi"

If all else fails, remove the part of your code that generates the random
'index' and just use "ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1" in your query.

HTH,

Brad

you could instead use the proc_* functions to do this. However, seen as 
those are pretty complicated and were not available in most php versions 
ran by most hosts, a lot of people had to come up with  other ways 
around it. The most used way is indeed what you described. A simple:
$t = tempnam();
exec('/bin/SomeCommand 2>'.$t);
$stderror = file_get_contents($t);

is what most scripts seem to use currently

Is this working for you guys?  When I test my page only 1/2 of the months
show up now.

Probably a number of options..
check functions... str_pad(), sprintf()
Or you could just have an array...
$months = array('01'=>'January','02'=>'February', ...)
foreach($months as $k => $v) {
   echo "$v\n";
}
(Not usually recommended, but the name/values of months do not change 
often...)

You're right, of course, I wrote that in a hurry, after I checked the
output of serialize() contained the whole input.

This is a better test, and it does work with the beforementioned
configuration (5.2.1 on FreeBSD).

raw = "120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD" . chr(241) . "RW VHP  FR";
$this->serialized = sprintf(
's:%d:"%s";', strlen($this->raw), $this->raw
);
}
function testWorksAsExpected()
{
return $this->assertEquals(
$this->serialized,
serialize($this->raw)
);
}
}

Re: [PHP] Change in 5.2.1 re. parsing of URL

If this has nothing to do with PHP, maybe you can explain why the 
behavior was broken when I upgraded from 5.2.0 to 5.2.1, and started 
working again the instant I reverted back to 5.2.0.  No other 
configuration changes were made on the web server.

I'm just curious to find out if I'm the only person to have bumped into

When I try and serialize an array containing a string value with the "?" 
character (alt+241 ASCII) such as :

"120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD?RW VHP  FR"

The resulting serialized array is truncated.
ie. I would obtain :

A100-044 CD/T2060-1.6";i:5;s:35:"120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD"


As you can see serialization seems to stall as soon as the "?" character 
shows up.


I don't see the effect you're mentioning, but this is on FreeBSD, so
perhaps there's a problem on Windows.  I don't really believe it,
though, and would hazard a guess you're running into display problems
with your browser.

Another thing to mention is that ASCII only goes up to 127.  You may
desire for ASCII 241 to mean +/-, but n-tilde is also a popular
interpretation... Use a character set which actually includes +/- as a
single character, and an encoding that can handle that charset.


I'm probably just running into so encoding issues with the CSV files I'm 
using on which I have no control whatsoever.




The following test fails in 5.2.1:

assertEquals(
"120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD",
serialize("120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD" . chr(241) . "RW VHP  FR")
);
}
}

?>


I'd just like to point out that your test will fail systematically 
unless you use something like this :


 function testTruncates()
 {
$string = "120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD" . chr(241) . "RW VHP  FR";
return $this->assertEquals(
 "s:" . strlen($string) . ":\"120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD",

[PHP] Change in 5.2.1 re. parsing of URL

[Lewis Kapell]

There seems to be a behavior change introduced in 5.2.1 and I would like 
to know if it was deliberate.


A couple of years ago, PHP introduced functionality that made it 
possible to use a certain trick.  I don't know how to describe this 
trick in words, so I will illustrate with an example.


http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.php/phonypage.pdf

In this example there is a PHP script called mypage.php which serves up 
a PDF.  Putting the extra text at the end of the URL makes it appear to 
the user's browser that the URL ends with '.pdf' rather than '.php'.  We 
introduced this hack at my company because a few users were unable to 
view pages containing PDF or RTF content, presumably because of some 
combination of browser and/or firewall settings.


I find that version 5.2.1 breaks this behavior - attempting to visit a 
URL such as the above produces a 'page not found' error.  Presumably 
because it is trying to find the file 'phonypage.pdf' which doesn't exist.


My question is, should this be regarded as a bug which might be fixed? 
Or is this a deliberate change of behavior?

shows up.


Do any of you have the same issue? And what could be a work around for 
this sort of problem.


This has occurred on a Windows XP box running PHP 5.2.0. The string is 
obtained from a CSV file using ANSI encoding.


Thanks,

Yes i have read many tutorials with this "classic" method of authentication
system.
My "vision" is to tighten it even more by using only sha1() strings in my
SELECT statements for both username and password field.
Upon conversion to SHA regardless of the input you get a 40char string so no
need for classic form input filtering using my method of storing username
and pass as SHA hash's...

Ie: 
$query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE username=\'' . Sha1($_POST['username'])
. '\' and pass=\'' . Sha1($_POST['pass']) . '\''; 

Well was just an idea, i'll try it, doesn't seem to interest many people,
that's ok keep using the classic method ;P

Re: [PHP] What is $this->

[M.Sokolewicz]

Ok, I'm pretty sure you have a point there, but I can't really see it to 
be honest.


First of all, let's start out with the usual: RTFM! This page: 
http://www.php.net/oop should explain basic class/object/method/member 
terminology required to understand what's going on here.


In short you could say:
a 'class' is a collection of functions (known as 'methods') and 
variables (known as 'members'). A class is a static structure. Each 
class can spawn so-called 'objects' which are instances of that class, 
more-or-less something like a copy (better explained in the manual, 
linked).


In an object (note, not the class, but the object) the variable $this 
references that object (it references itself basically). -> is an 
operator stating 'perform the right-hand action on the left-hand object 
(referenced by that variable). So $object->help() will call the function 
help() on the object referenced as $object.


Now, I suggest you read trough the entire oop section of the manual to 
find out more in detail and better wording.

This is what I understand $this->

This is a base OO programming thing.

IN oo world you have to create new object to do someting.

like

$db = new adodb;

so after the generate object you will modify this object via functions.

$db->execSql($sql);

when you send this command, your class have to do someting with the object...

and program have to know which object?, because you can create unlimited 
amount of object from same code. So. $this points current object.


when you do someting with any object, inside of his class code his name was 
always $this.


Hope helps.

oops, typo.

Should have been $this->message.

Re: [PHP] Catch STDERR

[M.Sokolewicz]

you could instead use the proc_* functions to do this. However, seen as 
those are pretty complicated and were not available in most php versions 
ran by most hosts, a lot of people had to come up with  other ways 
around it. The most used way is indeed what you described. A simple:

$t = tempnam();
exec('/bin/SomeCommand 2>'.$t);
$stderror = file_get_contents($t);

is what most scripts seem to use currently

Thanks, I'll try the assoc array.


also consider that there are, imho, 2 kinds of language specific data:

1. 'static' values - button texts, [error] messages - these are specified 
during site/application
design.

Yes these are the static texts I'm talking about. They don't depend on 
data, only on layout and design.



2. 'dynamic' values - document titles, headers, content - these are specified 
by the owner/user during
the lifetime of the site/application


Sure, I've these values too and store them in the database.


for the rest I'll just say 'ditto' to most of what the other list members 
replied :-)


Thanks a lot.
