[PHP] Foring a file download *and* page reload
I've asked about this before but could not get a working solution. I have a database. Users put data in the DB :) I have a page with a list of accessible data "block". Each "block" has a button next to it. When a user click a button what I would like is: - I extract the data block from the DB - I send the data to the browser as a file download so the user can save the data block to disk. (i.e. a save-file-as dialog comes up) - I mark the data block as inaccessible - I reload the page and present a new list. The data block the user as just selected is no longer in the list. I have figure out how to force a file download using: header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=aFile"); header("Content-type: application"); The problem I have is that I need a way of send the user back to list page so I can regenerate a new listing. I can't use header("Location") because I've already started an output stream (the download). Some suggested using this header: header("Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"-Boundary-12399\""); But I could quite get it to work. The example code I have been trying to get to work make Netscape open a save-as dialog three times and on IE 6 just prints everything in the browser window. This is the code: (suggested by Marek Kilimajer) print "---Boundary-12399\r\n"; print "Content-Type: text/html\r\n"; print "\r\n"; //HTML code goes here print "\n"; print "---Boundary-12399\r\n"; print "Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n"; print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=foo.tar.gz\r\n\r\n"; readfile("./foo.tar.gz"); print "---Boundary-12399--\r\n"; print "\r\n"; ?> I'm sure someone has done this before :) What is the "correct" way to achieve this effect?

[PHP] Re: Sessions and frames
After much head banging I found the answer. I had set my browser to only allow cookies from the "originating site" to be set. (This prevent banner ads from setting cookies). Of course the first time my frame was loaded the browser was seeing it as content "not from the originating site" and hence blocking the session cookie from being set ... argh.

[PHP] Re: Sessions and frames
A little update, seems I was wrong about the session cookie being set when the page is first access. The first time the page is accessed no session cookie or /tmp file is generated. I think this may be because the site that is loading my content in a frame is also generating a cookie. Is that a probable cause for my problem? If yes (or) how can I get a session to be started (using cookies) when my content is loaded into a frame?

[PHP] Sessions and frames
I'm having problems getting a session to start when my script is loaded in a frame. I provide some content that another web site loads up in a frame. I have set session.autostart to true in my php.ini file so that sessions are always started automatically and use cookies. The problem is that when a user clicks on any links in my first page a new session is started, the current one is not used. I try and set some session vars using the following on my first page: echo "Click Here"; ?> After this page loads in a frame I look at the /tmp dir on my server and I can see that a session file has been created and contains the correct values. However if I click the link (which is just a link to the same page), a new session is started. I.e. if I look in /tmp I now see 2 session files and the newer one is empty. If I reclick on the link the new session is used and the the session vars are properly set. The problem is that the first session that is created is not used. clicking on links in my frame (which go to other pages on my server) causes a new session to be started and the original session to be forgotten. The second session is then correctly kept across pages. Why is my first session not kept? I'm a bit confused. Could it have anything to do with the fact that the site that is using my content is also setting a cookie?

If so then you can't access $this->_dbuser and $this->_dbpw because you have not set their value anywhere. You cannot set their value in the section you labeled "var declarations" either. PHP does not allow values to be assigned to variables outside of functions. So if you have any assignments in the var declaration section put those at the top of your constructor.

I just give a bunch of buttons to the user, the buttons are in a form. The form's action is another PHP script. That script generates some data and forces a save-as dialog to open so the user can save the data as a file. The script also stores in a database the fact that this user has generated this file so that the next time he visits the button for generating this particular file will not appear in the list again. The problem is that the page the user is on doesn't change once he clicks the button. What I want is that after a button has been clicked the current page, the I generate the data file, cause a save-as dialog to open, and then reload the current page (file list) so that I can present the user with a list of buttons (data files he can generate) again (with the button he clicked no longer in the list).

Use a while loop ;) Name the GET or POST vars the same as the field names in the DB. Then you could use something like (I say like b/c this won't work, it's just an idea): $sql = "update table A SET "; while (list($fieldName, $value) == each($_POST)) { $sql .= " $fieldName='$value', "; } This won't work because there will be POST values passes in that are not part of your form data. Oh, and there will be a trailing "," you need to trim off ...

[PHP] Re: working with sessions
Your original post is below for thos who want to read it :) I see what you mean now. Off the top of my head I think a better approach would be this: - user logs in, his name and a timestamp are added to the list of active users - every time a user accesses a page on your list his timestamp is updated to the current timestamp. - when a user logs out you remove him from the file - for the chat program, when looking for who is logged in you pick form the list all the people who's timestamp is less than, let's say, 10 minutes old and delete the rest. The best way to do this of course would be to use a database instead of a text file though :) Jean-Christian Imbeault Matt Palermo wrote: > I am doing this, because I am making a text file with a list of all > existing sessions.

Can this be done? Please let me know if you have any thoughts. It can be done using the file series of functions. The question is though, why? What passes that session id to you script and why do you need to check to see if the session is still valid or not? PHP automatically detects if a session is not longer valid ...

[PHP] PHP vs. jsp, advice please
I've just finished a big PHP project and I'm about to start a new project. I've had both fun and pain with PHP. The new project would be another one of those database driven online store kind-of things for a somewhat large company. Before I start my new project I am considering whether to use PHP again or to switch to jsp. I'm worried that PHP won't scale well. And by scaling I don't mean under heavy load, I mean maintenance wise :) I can't imagine having to do a feature upgrade on a PHP project with more than 100 files ... (this file requires that file which requires that one and so on ...) I used to be a java programmer and always wax nostalgic about how easy it was to program-by-contract using objects and interfaces. And I'm always gripping about how much pain session handling is (not because of PHP but because HTTP is stateless). I don't know anything about jsp but I've asked a few jsp programmer and I've heard lots of good things about it. They tell me I can get "true" object-oriented programming, object persistence *and* much easier to manage session handling. However none of them have ever used PHP so they can't really compare the two. Can anyone give personal opinion of a comparison of the two? Are they two completely different beast hence totally for totally different purposes? Or are they two languages that are mostly used for the same things?

[PHP] http->https->http redirection causes browser to show alert dialog
I have a login page with a form where users enter there login and password. The form's action is "https://mysite.com/login.php";. login.php authenticates the user and if the authentication is successful it ends with a: header("Location: http://mysite.com/welcome.html?a=b&c=etc...";); The problem I am facing is that the flow of event is: http -> https -> http and this causes IE and Netscape to put up an alert box telling users that they are leaving a secured site. The IE messages is: "You are about to be redirected to a connection that is not secure. The information you are sending to the current site might be retransmitted to a non-secure site. Do you wish to continue?" I only want to use HTTPS for the parts of my web site that actually need it and nothing else. The way I have things set up now I receive the data through HTTPS, use it, and then put the user back on a "regular" HTTP connection since I don't need https anymore. But I get browsers throwing up these warnings Is there a way around this? The messages are annoying at best and probably scary to users ...

[PHP] Security Q (persistent in-memory var possib;e?)
I have a PHP application that connects to a DB an retrieves encrypted data from it. The PHP application uses the decryption key to decode the data to so some work with it. Right now the key is hard-coded into the PHP script. I am worried that if someone hacks into my server they will have access to the the encryption key and can then use it to decode the encrypted data that is on my DB. Is there any way for me to remove the decryption key from the script itself and make it as inaccessible as possible? One solution that I was joping would be possible would be to a (super)global variable that is put into RAM once the web server is started. That way the key is not lying around anywhere. Is there anyway for me to either make a either $_SERVER var for apache (say in the httpd.conf file which I could delete after starting the server or in the source code?) or of creating my own superglobal for PHP (and then I delete the source code)?

Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: No, you didn't understand correctly. I specifically said the thread safety issues were in 3rd party libraries and not in PHP. Sorry, I thought by 3rd party libraries you meant libraries that PHP is dependent upon. Do you mean libraries used by PHP or Apache. And if these are libraries used by PHP, do you mean library that as in the multi-byte library (i.e. libraries that add functionality to PHP), or do you mean C libraries used when compiling PHP. Why exactly are you asking? Is there some feature in Apache2 that you need that is not available in Apache-1.3? I don't want to move from Apache 1-3 to Apache. I just keep hearing that PHP is not ready for Apache2 yet and I wanted to educate myself as to why. I don't like just being told something and not understanding the reason behind the answer. So this boils down to Apache2 using threads and PHP not being thread-safe? And the reason that PHP is not thread-safe is that some 3rd party libraries PHP used are not thread-safe. Now the only two questions I have left are : #1 what those libraries are used for. I.e. are they part of PHP or libraries that are used to compile PHP? If they are libraries used to compile PHP, I would assume that Apache2 must have faced similar issues when going from a forking model to a threaded model? #2 Is there progress being made towards having PHP work with Apache2.

[PHP] PostgreSQL/PHP: transactions: how-to abstract out?
Hi. I thought I had abstracted out the SQL querying part of my code out, just to find out today that it doesn't work when it comes to transactions. I had come up with this code: function sql_query($sql) { $conn = pg_connect("dbname=JC user=postgres"); $res = pg_exec($conn, $sql); if (!$res) { echo "CONNECTION: could not execute query ($sql)"; die; } else return $res; } I had transactions in my code implemented like this: $sql = "BEGIN"; sql_query($sql); [some sql that should be in a transaction ...] $sql = "COMMIT"; sql_query($sql); This doesn't work. Now that I look at my code I clearly see why. All sql queries are executed using a new Postgres connection, hence the use of BEGIN/COMMIT as I was using them have no effect. Can someone recommend a way to abstract out my DB layer while still being able to use transactions? I was thinking of using the same function but if the incoming query contained the word BEGIN, saving that and all future queries in a session var and when the COMMIT comes in executing all the saved queries as one (i.e. "BEGIN;[];COMMIT"). One drawback is that all queries will be written out to disk (as session vars) and that will slow things down. Another drawback is that I have to abort if not COMMIT comes in. And a few more drawbacks ... I was also thinking about maybe the $sql a GLOBAL or first building up my query as as long string ("BEGIN;[];COMMIT") and *then* sending it to my sql_query() function. The last two seem easier to implement, safer, and more efficient but they don't seem "elegant" because I haven't abstracted out the fact that I want a transaction. Whenever I write an SQL query I have to think "does this need to be in a transaction" and then use a different coding technique depending on the answer. And if the future something that didn't need to be in a transaction now needs to be in a transaction I have to revisit my code and change the code. I'm sure someone out there must have thought about this and come up with an elegant solution and way of abstracting out the DB layer from PHP.

[PHP] Re: how to make server response to emails
I'm not sure how it's done exactly but I think the basic concept is to have a daemon running, or have your program run by cron, and have the program collect it's mail. On Linux I think you can get your mail simply by fetching and parsing the file /var/spool/mail/"username", where username is the name of the account unsubscribe requests are mailed to. But you want a mailing list, use major domo or some other ML spftware instead of writing your own.
