Hi gang:
I have a client who had his entire site moved to another host -- no big

However, the old site had a https directory, where I had secure scripts to do
credit-card transactions, but the new site doesn't have a https directory --
in fact it doesn't even have a http directory at all. So, what options do I
have to do secure transactions?
I remember someone saying that this could be done via a .htaccess file, but I
don't have the code, nor am I positive this is the answer.
What do you recommend?
Sounds like it may have been moved from a Plesk server to a
non-Plesk server (or something using a similar path setup). If it's
still Apache-based, yes, an .htaccess mod_rewrite directive should
suffice. And, while it's out-of-scope for this list, an example, for
posterity:
# .htaccess - placed in the web root
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [QSA,R,L]

If the x bit isn't set on a directory, that will prevent scanning of the directory; in this case apache will be prevented from scanning the directory and will return a 403. Well, that's partially correct. If a directory is owned by someone other than the current user (for example, root) and is 0776, you can list the directory content from outside of the directory to get a basic file listing. What you won't get by doing that, however, is anything other than the file name and type, because the kernel is forbidden from executing mtime, ctime, and owner/group queries on the files. In addition, you won't be able to enter the directory (cd). That said, if Ethan is running his Apache server as the user 'ethan' (which isn't mentioned) then it would be fine regardless. As for the 's' notation, that's either a bitmask of 0400 or 0200, which are for setuid and setgid, respectively. -- /Daniel P.

If yes, I will be grateful if someone could let me know how to redirect to

No. Sending a 'Location:' header issues an HTTP 301 by default,
which means the browser will follow it using a GET request. If you
can't pass the information from one location to another using sessions
or (less ideally) cookies, you might consider doing a cURL POST
request in the background and passing the session ID back to the
browser, and having it handle it appropriately (read: session
hijack).

(PG2) Problem: if I try to create session vars on page 1 - they don't work on page 2. Am I correct in thinking that when this process leaves my site and goes to the gateway, then returns, it is similar to creating a new session and that is why the session vars don't remain active? Thanks in advance. Are you calling session_start() on both pages or at least using a session auto start? Also, is the API returning the data by redirecting the client (browser) or doing a postback? If the remote server is calling back behind the scenes, then you'll need a workaround and additional processing, or the ability to pass the session ID and assume the client-initiated session (not ideal). If it's all processed by the browser, the redirection should have no bearing, as the session will persist based upon the server-side data and the client-side cookie; the server will have no knowledge of the client's redirection to the payment gateway (nor any remote destination).

Switch host? /tmp is required by the FHS and POSIX standards (writable for

Good point -- we will add that reason to the many other reasons why we are
changing host.
Keep in mind, the installed software worked for nearly a decade and now the
host has changed something that caused this error, but the current host
doesn't seem to know what happened.
If it's /tmp, it's /tmp. The leading slash indicates that it's in
the filesystem root. However, if it's just tmp, then it could - and
probably is - under the client's home directory. Unless they're
chrooted; then it could be displayed as /tmp, but would actually be
virtualized by the OS, where /tmp isn't really /tmp, but could be
/var/virtfs/user/tmp.
Confusing? Sure. Off-topic for the list? Sort of, but that's
easy enough to change.
Since you can't use get_sys_temp_dir() on 4.3.10, you should
instead see if $_ENV contains an array key for TMP, TMPDIR, or TEMP.
Or, if you'd rather, you can use getenv('TMP') and the like. It
doesn't mean that you'll get any useful information back (or anything
at all, necessarily), but it's another thing to try when using such an
antiquated version (I believe it was released at the end of 2004).

[PHP] PHP is Zero
Hi all,
I want to start a discussion about a PHP behaviour that drives me crazy for
years. For the beginning I would like you to guess what the result of the
following snippet will be:
var_dump('PHP' == 0);
I know the difference of == and === but the result was unexcpected for me. And
I hope it is also for you. The result is simply true. Why is it true? I guess
this happens because of the conversion from 'PHP' to a number which will be 0
in PHP. And of course 0 equals 0. There are several points that I just want to
drop into this mailinglist to discuss about:
1. Why? :)
2. Why is PHP converting the String into a Number instead of converting the
Number into a String? (If my guess concerning the behaviour is correct)
3. Why is PHP throwing data away which has the developer explicit given to the
interpreter?
4. Why does var_dump(0 == 'PHP'); has the same result as the snippet above?
This meens that the equal operator is not explictly implemented in the string
or integer?
5. Thats a bug I have opend: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51739 where I also
had the same problems because 8315e839da08e2a7afe6dd12ec58245d was converted
into float(INF) by throwing everything starting from da08.. away.
I am using PHP since the year 2000. This means I have 13 years of experience in
PHP and I really would like you to NOT just answer works as designed. I know
it works as designed but I want to discuss the design. Also I know that the
fuzzy behaviour of type conversion is a main feature of PHP. I guess this is
one point which makes PHP that successfull. But - in my opinion - the described
behaviour is to fuzzy and just confuses developers.

Hi,
I used 2 x =. Using 3 x = would not result in that behaviour because string is
not equal to number. I am fine === here. I explicitly talk about the 2 x =
variant.
BTW:
# php -r 'var_dump(PHP == 0);'
bool(true)
# php -r 'var_dump(PHP == 1);'
bool(false)
regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
here is wild goose
i assume you have 3 x =
in your problem formulation
which could possibly result in the akward standard C mixup; the
rightmost = first parsed and resulting in an ASSIGMENT to the variable
with that value, the comes the parsing of == which is the equivalence
test, and see; the variable is the same since it was just assigned
that value; if this theory is correct you would get TRUE regardless
what number is following :) /g

That's a very different proposition, and probably has more to do with word
size: float is 32-bit, so only the first 32 bits are used and if anything
else is found the conversion falls back to INF. To handle really big integers
like 8315e839da08e2a7afe6dd12ec58245d you probably need a more specialist
library (or language)
For me it is not. PHP throws things away during conversion. In my opinion a
language (compiler, interpreter whatever) should not do that. Never ever!
Either it is able to convert the value or it is not.
What about of returning null instead of 0 if the conversion is not perfect?
So intval('F') could return NULL and intval('0') could return 0.

Daniel

To be more technical:
If intval('8315e839da08e2a7afe6dd12ec58245d') would return NULL instead of 8315
then PHP would be still weak-typed and the developer could know that the
conversion failed. Good idea? Of course NULL should be transparent in
operations like +. So 0 + NULL should be still 0.

Not entirely sure what you're asking here, or how you (or the
nginx folks) expect it to relate to PHP. Do you mean that you want to
use PHP to have theme2.php act as if it was called as theme.php?id=2 ?
I have me write a blog, but my blog has link like blogdetail.html?id=1 or =2
through 16 at moment. And for google and other Search Engines not good the
links, better where i can rewrite to a fix link, and when someone use the
link, php write to correct url.
Common SEO mythology is that you need pretty human-understandable
links. (In point of fact, the search engines care not in the least.)
However, human-understandable URLs are a benefit to users when they want
to understand what they're linking to or clicking on.
A human-understandable link is more like:
http://www.example.com/blog/2013-05-a-day-in-the-life-of-my-dog
not:
http://www.example.com/blog/2
as that really does not provide any more information than:
http://www.example.com/blog.php?id=2
Otherwise, Daniel's solution below should do the trick.
Sorry my english not perfect on earth.
If so, it's not redirect or rewrite, and it's extremely hacky, but
this is the only real way PHP could achieve the desired result:
?php
// dynamictheme.php
if (preg_match('/.*([0-9]+)\.php/Ui',$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],$match)) {
$_GET['id'] = $match[1];
include dirname(__FILE__).'/theme.php';
}
?
Then just symlink dynamictheme.php to your various themes like so:
ln -s dynamictheme.php theme2.php
ln -s dynamictheme.php theme301.php
ln -s dynamictheme.php theme18447.php

Re: [PHP] browser rendering
Well I think it depends. When the image is part of the website, like a chart or something like that you can use the height and width attribute inside the img tag (don't forget alt for correct validation). When the image is part of the layout or you're having multiple images like in a gallery with the same height and width you should use the corrosponding css. It might be useful to resize the image on serverside so that the browser doesn't have to load a big image and then resize it to a tiny pic. This will - in most cases - speed up your website. But you have to use the tags even with a perfectly sized picture, otherwise the browser will be confused when the image can't be loaded Daniel Am 02.06.2013 15:12 schrieb georg georg.chamb...@telia.com: Possibly this issue is for other fora, which you might direct me, anyways; I have been dablling making my own little webpages, however having gotten a nice result jon fireforx, I realize picture sizes gets treated very differntly on different browsers !!! so the looks of the pages get very strange from smaller (Opera) and much bigger (Explorer) brower !!! any hints for mitigation ? br georg -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Webpage Persistence Load balancing
On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 8:03 AM, Al n...@ridersite.org wrote: I'm having a webpage Persistence problem, it is intermittent. I suspect it is caused by load-balancing. Specifically: Users are connected to a webpage form to complete. Generally, everything is OK if they take a minute or even more to complete the form. However, sometimes they report to me, and I've seen it myself, the connection has been dropped by the server in a short time. They enter the data and Submit it to the server, and the page just reloads and their data is lost. I have the PHP ignore_user_abort(true); etc. Is there anything I can do to fix this or is it a server issue that you must fix? Well, either way, it would be up to you to fix it. We wouldn't have anything to do with the server (well, unless you were hosted with my company, but the PHP project itself isn't any way related to the corporate stuff). Of course, it could just be the ambiguity of the term you in the sentence throwing me off here. That said, is this a standard HTML page displayed in a normal, modern-era browser, or is there a different frontend, such as Flash, a mobile client, an API, or something of the sort? And is the page being timed-out with JavaScript, or simply timing out with the sessions? Lastly, if you suspect that it is the load-balancing, and the balancer isn't capable of persistence itself (such as if you're using round-robin), and sessions themselves are breaking, it's probably because you're relying on file-based sessions, which do not (by default) synchronize between servers. Instead, you'll need to centralize your sessions in a database, memcached, or similar option.

Just knowing how the patterns go. It's always the same, and it will likely be the same again. No guarantees, but all it takes is a bit of fostering of the community to return it to a decently-vibrant forum. -- /Daniel P.

Hate to answer a question with a question, but:
1.) Do you have the PEAR package MDB2 installed?
2.) Where is $result defined? I don't see it in your code snippet here.

Re: [PHP] Very Large File Splatter

As such, I cannot firmly place the blame on PHP. I have peppered a PHP application with a call to a function which appends-only to a logfile the parameters passed to it. Each pass of the application creates many MB of content. It is conceivable that I ran out of hard drive space. When that which what I was working on seemed to be acting very weird, I rebooted the computer only to see thousands of lines scroll by from Windows repairing the file system. I discovered logfile contents in many dozens of files. The timestamp and filesize of the damaged files were not changed. Only the contents replaced with slices of the logfile. Again, I'm not going to try to 'intentionally' replicate this, so I ask: Has PHP's interface with the NTFS file sub-system ever been reported to splatter a file across the contents of a drive? Not to my knowledge. It actually sounds to me like a code issue. Are you using file_put_contents() with the parameters in reverse order, by chance? If you can show the write portion of the code in your iteration, as well as a sample of the naming convention, it may offer more clues. In any case, either disk space or inode exhaustion is likely the reason things borked-up for you. -- /Daniel P.

Yes, it would be php5-cli, but since he's getting the response from PHP (parse error) and not the environment saying the command isn't found, it shows he's got the CLI installed.

However, once I try to do it through native PHP, I fail miserably - even if I mimick HTTP requests as recorded by Charles (HTTP debugging proxy). Up until now, I used the inc_caldav-client-v2.php, which worked for a while and then stopped all of a sudden.

If not, any tutorial on the subject is also deeply appreciated ( all I can rely on is the IETF spec rfc4791, which is far from accesible reading material) I haven't tried them myself, but there are PEAR packages for client-server implementations for WebDAV: http://pear.php.net/search.php?q=webdavin=packagesx=0y=0 They're not actively maintained by anyone right now (feel free to apply to change that if you'd like the responsibility), but the most recent server version was released just this past October (the client version is about a year older).

From your response to Sebastian, I'm not sure it will work. They

work. However, proceeding with the presumption that the subdomains
are under the same SLD (e.g. - apple.example.com and
orange.example.com), this should work:
?php
// apple.example.com
ini_set('session.cookie_domain','.example.com');
session_start();
$_SESSION['foo'] = 'bar';
session_write_close();
?
Then
?php
// orange.example.com
ini_set('session.cookie_domain','.example.com');
session_start();

Yes, `date` at the command line is showing it, and sure, the timezone is showing as PDT on both ends, but it's also using -0400 for the timezone. In any case, this is something your administrator needs to handle, and isn't something with PHP or your code, from the looks of it. -- /Daniel P.

Your server time is probably set incorrectly. That's EDT, not PDT, so it sounds like the timezone is what you expect, but the system time is incorrect. -- /Daniel P.

With regard to debugging your issue, it's extremely unlikely that
it's PHP's fault, since no one else has the same issue. However, it
does indeed sound as though there's a configuration mismatch or a bad

?php

define('NL',PHP_EOL);

echo date_default_timezone_get().NL;
echo date('r').NL;
echo gmdate('r').NL;
echo time().' ('.date('Z').')'.NL;
echo trim(`date`).NL;

This is the output:

Is this a shared server, Rich? As shown, the admin configured the
timezone of the machine to be EDT and set the clock right, but php.ini must
be set to PDT. You can easily override this with a local php.ini file, an
.htaccess directive, or by placing date_default_timezone_set() near the top
of the code.

I briefly glanced, and no more, because anyone with any idea of Internet etiquette knows not to forward an entire bunch of junk to a public and wholly-unrelated mailing list. Had you considered the appropriate options, such as reading about how to contact us, you'd have gotten a response. Note that the tone of your reply here has already changed the tenor of this entire discussion now. I got a mail that messages bounced from my mail server. So I sent a reply to the list owner to get an explanation how this is possible, since my mail server only rejects mails which are flagged by the clamav milter (and this did not happen). But then, instead of an answer, I got an automated response, which basically means only one thing: I don't give a damn about your problems and buzz off. Mailing list owners are supposed to be real people, not bots. And, for the most part, we are (save for a few sentient androids). However, go to news.php.net and look at those bounce messages. Note it's all consecutive, within a relatively small window of time. Then, using your own suggestion about reading the email, look at the bounce response: the messages were undeliverable up to a time threshold, when the server gave up. Sounds like there was an issue connecting to your SMTP system during that window. If you have the appropriate access, you might want to review your mail logs during this window. I'm sorry, I was really irritated by this automated respone. It is not very professional sending people to go in circles. Well, as the adage goes, you'll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. And considering this is the very first message I've ever seen from you, it sounds like either (a) you didn't follow the proper protocol, or (b) there's something in the process we need to review. If you think the issue lies on our end, you can submit a bug at https://bugs.php.net/ and detail the steps to reproduce the issue. If it is indeed something we need to correct, believe me, we will.

[PHP] Vulnerability Announced in phpMyAdmin
Afternoon, folks;
Just a three-list cross-post to bring it to everyone's attention
at once, in case you weren't already aware. It was announced today
that a compromised SourceForge mirror was distributing a malicious
file with the phpMyAdmin package that allows an attacker to
arbitrarily execute code on a server hosting the exploitable package.
Obligatory (not intentionally self-serving) social media link here:
https://twitter.com/oidk/status/250688002005811200
I don't especially know how this might affect other projects that
are hosting on the same mirror, but I hope at least some of the more
popular projects will take a moment to verify the integrity of their
packages on the affected mirror ('cdnetworks-kr-1' mirror in Korea,
for those interested).
Those of you who have phpMyAdmin installed should check
immediately to see if your installation is vulnerable to the exploit,
particularly if it's auto-updated or has been installed or updated
recently.
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled Tuesday (unless
you're east of the EEST time zone, in which case, Happy Hump Day).
