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]

I'm in my mid-thirties and - despite having an optical mouse - I
do indeed still use a mousepad.  A customized one that the wife did
for me for Christmas one year: images of Futurama, the Cleveland
Browns, Minnesota Vikings, and several aircraft, all surrounding a
picture of her and our daughter.  I've found that shiny surfaces -
such as my desk - reflect too much of the laser, causing the mouse to
be far less responsive.

Did you create a function is_set(), or did you mean to use the

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).

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.

You'd probably want to do some 301 redirects with mod_rewrite to
force the domain over to the subdomain if under that directory.  In so
doing, Google (and other search engines) will drop the /subdomain
folder, and index only the destination.

While I couldn't find anything comparable - from the same source
and window of time - for Java trends on the web, there was an article
released by Netcraft in January of this year that shows PHPs continued
growth[1].  It may, at the least, provide a basis for comparison
should you or your adversary be so inclined to dig deeper.

Start by subscribing to intern...@lists.php.net and introducing
yourself on that list, which is intended for the discussion of the
ongoing development of the runtime and related things.  You may also
want to hop on EFNet and join #php.pecl, which - like internals@ - is
specifically for discussion of furthering the core development (not
for any time of support).

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).

Not from PHP unless you pass it via GET or POST, or as a cookie.
You may want to look into JavaScript, jQuery, and AJAX for your

Perhaps I'm biased, but I think other folks will agree --- the
official documentation is your best source of learning second only to
your own experiences with the language.  Check through the user notes
as well, as they often provide very valuable insight and other
developers' personal experiences.

That's standard practice.  Sometimes, though, it isn't enough, and
we find ourselves using Derick's Xdebug, mod_top, or performing an
strace on either the execution or attached to a process.  For nearly
all cases, though, that's sufficient without being overkill (except
for production cases).

It's the vaguest of all errors and the bane of the existence of
any developer who comes across it (at least it's rarer in PHP than it
was in Perl years ago).  Essentially, it would require a lot more
information that what's been provided for us to help you debug.

What things have changed in the last month?  Have you upgraded
PHP?  Made any changes to the code or any of the dependencies?  Is the
server out of available disk space?  Is something causing it to run
out of memory?  What happens when you run the same script from the
CLI?  What do you see when you enable all errors and error reporting?

Sounds like either a chroot or virtual environment (such as,

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.

For some hints on session management and how you can manage it
across server clusters, check out the session_set_save_handler()
function[1].

Yeah, I misread the bit about "MS XP" and thought he was using XP
for this install.  I just realized the remainder of the discussion
between us was off-list, so - for posterity - my response, when
finding out it is indeed a Linux box, is: pecl install pdo_odbc.

Did you uncomment the line in php.ini to load the ODBC DLLs?

Sometimes I wish that were the case.  Honestly, I think it's
having a three-and-a-half-year-old daughter that's rubbing off on me.
She's presently obsessed with princesses (fictional, of course --- no
interest in Maria Antonia or even Kate Middleton yet).  So you're just
lucky I didn't acronymize it as the Pretty House of Princesses or
something.  And yes, I just made up the word acronymize.  It may be
Wednesday, but it feels more like a Friday.

If you're positive you aren't executing any command line code
(backticks, passthru(), et cetera), then check to see if arbitrary

The below is a good example of why to trim your signature before

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

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.

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.

I know.  Actually, the only reason it's like this is because a lot

don't force the list as the reply-to address.  After ~13 years,
though, it's difficult to justify the change.

No problem on the forward, though.  Thanks for contributing to the

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.  Ubuntu is actually
really helpful with a lot of that, too, since - if it can't find the
command - it'll suggest packages from APT to install which match the
command given.

Not only is that extremely vague, but it's possibly more of an
issue with Ubuntu's repo than PHP itself.  Nonetheless, try this and
reply to the list with the output of each:

php -v
php -r 'echo phpversion().PHP_EOL;'
php -nv

Also, while it does work with PHP, note that, with a few
exceptions such as `find`, *NIX CLI short options (single dash)
generally expect a single character, while long options
(double-dashes) take longer strings.

I haven't tried them myself, but there are PEAR packages for
client-server implementations for WebDAV:

http://pear.php.net/search.php?q=webdav&in=packages&x=0&y=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).  At the very least, it may be enough
to get you started.

The discussion is now getting more into the general coding realm
than internals, so let's move it over there in case anyone wants to
mention something like:

function ftp_dir_exists($conn, $currentDir) {
$currentDir = (substr($currentDir,-1,1) == '/') ?
substr($currentDir,0,-1) : $currentDir;
$list  = ftp_nlist($conn, '-dF '. $currentDir);

Because, technically, 31 December was the second date of the
*fifty-third* week of 2012.  However, because the majority of the week
falls in 2013, it's rounded-in with that.

That won't work and should not work.  You could technically do it,
but you'd be deliberately creating an XSS for your sites.  If it
worked that way on its own, it would either be (a) a horrible browser
or (b) 1995.

It'll work for the subdomains, but not addon or parked domains.

You can pass the session ID and reactivate the session that way,
sure.  Not pretty, and it does lead to security considerations, but it
would work.

If it's configured on the server for overrides, sure, a local one.
 Otherwise, the system php.ini will break all other domains on the

From your response to Sebastian, I'm not sure it will work.  They
need to be subdomains of the same domain; different domains won't
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:

A subdomain is a subdomain.  Unless you've discovered a new
magical form of subdomain that is not, you should be fine.  And if you
have, in fact, made that discovery, you're probably the reason the
Mayans predicted a very short winter this year.  Thanks for screwing
us, Jim.

It's probably a legitimate issue.  I made some changes last week
to the DNS and fundamental server functionality to speed things up.
We're now using a service named myracloud[1] to help with traffic and
server load for the primary web box (the main php.net / www.php.net
system), as well as static.php.net, which handles graphics and other
media.  Unfortunately, as with any major changes, there are a few
hiccups here and there for some users.  Primarily, these are in the
form of HTTP 301's; when the server issues a redirect order, sometimes
the data isn't being sent along with it.  We're working to resolve the
issues; I just made one moderately-sized commit to hopefully repair a
lot of the issues, and will be making at least one more shortly.

If you or anyone else reading this continue to experience issues,
please submit them as bugs at https://bugs.php.net/ and zip me a quick
email to bring it to my attention.

Per list rules, please don't top-post.

Some things to consider:

1.) Incorrect domain name.  Be sure the domain is spelled
correctly and is registered.
2.) System not configured to serve IMAP.
3.) Firewall blocking access to port 143.
4.) Host down.

Try pinging the domain.  If you get a response back, try either
using Telnet to connect to the domain on port 143 or using an email
client with the same access details and credentials you're trying to
use in your code.

At this point, it's evident that it's not a PHP problem, so you'll
need to research the rest on your own.

Start by finding out why it won't connect.  Check the logs on the
server if you can, that's always the best place to look first.

The PHP General mailing list is only for discussing the use of the
language and developing in PHP, not really for the development of the
language itself.  Instead, you should try to discuss these things on
the PHP Internals list at intern...@lists.php.net.  You may also want
to speak with some of the developers via IRC on EFnet #php.pecl to
discuss if there is any interest in patching the bugs you've
mentioned.

Quick clarification and correction here:

The cron *daemon* is crond, while the *script* that is
batch-processed by cron is called the crontab.  When it is executed,
it is referred to as a cron job.

That said, Ash is right about the rest.  Different OS flavors
(BSD, Linux, UNIX, SunOS/Solaris, HP-UX, et cetera) often use
different path and file standards.  Linux, in general, uses a command
`crontab` which opens the local user's environment-configured editor
to modify the user's crontab in the spool.

If it wouldn't be a problem, can you provide the script here (or
on a site like Pastebin), as well as the crontab time entry for this?
While checking the crontab, make sure a duplicate entry for this
wasn't somehow added.

In the event that you'd like to keep this information from the
archives and general mailing list (and depending on the security
implications based upon what's divulged, I'd recommend it), I invite
you to send it to me privately, off-list, and I'll take a look at it

Though not really a PHP question, there are several reasons this
could happen, including a race condition that is being encountered due
to a slowdown of the host system or changes to the system's
environment.  Are the emails she's receiving identical?

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.

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.

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

Hmm I only got each reply once as well, so I'm not entirely

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.

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.

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.  We
don't deliberately attempt to mislead or frustrate people, despite how
it might have seemed.

[PHP] Friday - Return of Brain Teasers

About five-and-a-half years ago, we had a brainteasers thread
going on[1].  Last year it was briefly resurrected[2], and both times
got some good content and dialogue going.  So I'd like to reprise the
thread in 2012, as well.  Those of you connected to me on Facebook
(parasane) or Twitter (@oidk) might already have seen it, but a simple

 Sounds like one of those "should be obvious, but isn't" issues.
This gives the desired result:



So I wonder if it's your variable (perhaps even type-casting) or
some other portion of your code.  Can you elaborate and share some of
your bytes with the class, Mr. Payne?

If it's an actual postback, they should've given you an API
endpoint for you to do a cURL post back to their side.  If not, and
they're just expecting an XML response, it could be that your XML is
improperly formatted.

While there are no real plans to incorporate a full-fledged
application server at this time, PHP 5.4 does have an embedded
server[1] for development and such.  It's certainly not advisable to
use it for production, but the fact is, it's there.

 With regard to an actual production-worthy application server,
you might be interested in HipHop[2], which was developed by some of
the engineers over at Facebook.

[PHP] Vulnerability Announced in phpMyAdmin

[Daniel Brown]

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).

That's correct.  However, that doesn't mean you can't put in a
feature request at https://bugs.php.net/ to see if it can be included
in a future release.

Not at all.  Essentially, PHP is an interface to underlying
software, OS commands, and APIs.  You'd have to configure the system
to bind requests, as PHP does not presently have that capability (and,
to my knowledge, there's no plan to change that).

Stuart is, as usual, right on.  Rather than do the filesystem
handlers and loops, you should definitely consider glob().  Not only
is it quicker, cleaner, and easier to use, but it's far less
resource-intensive than your current implementation.

There is no date yet, but I can say that just today the first
serious discussion regarding the first release of the PHP 5.5 branch
occurred, with a (very) preliminary target date of February or March
of 2013.  It's far more likely to see such a major BC change in at
least a new minor branch.  As for that happening in either the 5.4 or
5.3 series, I wouldn't consider that a serious possibility by any
means.

As for your hosting provider, it baffles me why they wouldn't
support MySQLi, but a quick evaluation shows they still use old
versions of Apache and OpenSSL, and are still using unpatched versions
of PHP 5.2 in production.  That said, they might keep their
non-business support to a bare minimum to help control cost, though it
does sacrifice some security and functionality.

If it's not a violation of your arrangement with the owner of the

look at it.  I'm curious to see what might be causing the syntax
errors between PHP deployments as well.

This question actually belongs on the PHP General mailing list.

As for echoing into a variable, the only way that's really
possible is with output buffering (ob_start(), ob_get_contents(),
ob_end_clean(), et al).  However, you don't need (and shouldn't want)
to do this here.  Instead, as your snippet really won't do much of
anything useful, you should (entirely) rewrite your code to look
something like this, for an HTML table:

'.PHP_EOL;
foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
echo ' '.PHP_EOL;
echo '  '.$key.''.PHP_EOL;
echo '  '.$value.''.PHP_EOL;
echo ' '.PHP_EOL;
}
echo '';
?>

However, since it looks almost as if you're trying to build a
query string based upon the supplied GET variables, you may want to
try looking into http_build_query().

That doesn't sound right to me.  If so, I'd presume a lot of folks
would be doing that as a service.  I have several PR6-8 domains myself, and
could see how someone (not me) might say, "since I'm really not using these
domains anyway, I'll 301 to a paying customer for them to include their
ranking."  If for no other reason than I haven't heard of folks doing this
(read: SPAM), I'd guess it's not true.

Still, other folks are far more knowledgeable than Yours Truly when it
comes to SEO.  Just for good measure, I've CC'd one (Thiago Pojda) to see
if he'd be interested in chiming in on the matter.

If you have the luxury of time and resources, your colleague is
absolutely correct.  In fact, now might be the ideal time to convert
all hard-coded values to a variable or definition that need only be
changed once should this recur.

Either way, the find/replace should definitely be done.  Should
anything happen to the original domain - expiration, transfer, or even
a temporary DNS routing issue - you're screwed.  You can't 301 from
something that isn't there in the first place (though, for good
measure, you can 301 *to* anything you'd like).  From Linux, it's
simple to write a 'for' loop to find, cat, and sed everything in the
*.php, *.inc, *.html, etc. files, and database options are even
easier.  That said, of course, make sure you've got everything backed
up just before you change the stuff, should things go awry --- and
without a current backup, you can bet your ass they will.  Murphy's
Law.

Well, first, you get a 0.2-point deduction for not asking anything
about PHP, but since it's Friday and the folks here are about the most
creative and intelligent bunch of minds on any mailing list (call be
biased, I don't care), you still qualify for a medal.
Congratulations.

If it were me, and this is an Apache box, I would

* Add a ServerAlias somenewdomain.com directive to the
somedomain.com VirtualHost entry
* Add a mod_rewrite rule to your .htaccess file in the web
root of somedomain.com:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} somedomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://somenewdomain.com/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]

Remember to modify your rewrite stuff to be compatible with the
present SSL status of the request, and do whatever you need to do with
regard to any subdomains or whatever.

Hopefully that's just for development, and you're making much more

Yeah, neither option would resolve the issue anymore.  The

Rob is exactly right.  This is managed via the kernel and ulimit,
to prevent excessive resource usage.  Often it's a temporary problem,
but if it consistently occurs, your host may either be improperly
configured or, more likely, overselling resources.

If you're not telling PHP (in php.ini) to auto-start the session,
then you'll need session_start() before accessing $_SESSION.  If
you're certain the session is being properly instantiated in the code,
make sure that the user as which the web server (Apache, et al) is
running has permission and available disk space to access the session
storage media (file system such as /tmp, database table, et cetera).

Don't sell yourself short.  Your English seems fine to me ---
better than many native-speakers.

She was just giggling about the silly-sounding names for
high-quality products.

My guess is that it would, in fact, because it would send its
user-agent string as the previous version.

Using `pecl` will get you the most recently-published version.
Using a distro's repo requires your distro's package management teams
to actually be on top of things.  And, in the sad majority of cases,
it's simply not the way things are right now.  Using `pecl` will build
it from source using your installed API version and so forth.
