[PHP] Suddenly some errors are coming
I am having a login page which goes to login process file. I have a include file which connects to database. Till now all was ok suddenly it started showing following --- Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /home2/www/members/login-px.php on line 6 This line is nothing but where i included my file for database connection. My client got very upset, i am also not understanding why suddenly this popped out when for last 6 months nothing was wrong. I did not change anything neither my client. I tested db connection separately - it is ok. Then what can be the problem? The environment is Apache / MySQL / Linux / PHP.

[PHP] New line problem - but for Excel
Just now discussion was going on for new line - the same worked for me (I used string replace) Live Server : Linux / MySQL / PHP There is a field called 'Address' (textarea) - mysql stores \n for carriage return. Now from current disussion thread i know i can remove this with something like br (may be something else also) I want to export this to csv file. PHPMyAdmin 2.0 version has one option to convert to csv with delimiter e.g ';' . On my computer (Windows) If I do not use string replace command then '\n' goes as a new row. If i replace it with br then it appears in the Excel that is also I do not want. Is there any better way so that '\n' does not come out as new row - but do not want to make use of br as this will appear, please suggest, regards manisha When i open it in Excel now that \n becoms a new row which i do not want -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] New line problem - but for Excel
Actually I do not have phpscript for this. I am using readymade function from PHPMyAdmin 2.1.0. They are having option to export to csv file with delimeter ';' (It comes on screen first and then i copy to file manually.) So my csv fil looks like 22;33;address line1 address line2 What excel does is it shows this as 2 different lines. But this all should be in one line. if replace \n with br then 22;33;address line1braddress line2 Do u mean to say i need to write script only to produce proper '.csv' file ?

Re: [PHP] want to restart session after time out
thanks all, If session has to time out then in that case what shall i do in following case ? I have a login page, user logins and starts playing (it is a on line game site), for each action (he tells something to do), i need to check whether he is login (i.e session on), if yes, then take all session vars and act accordingly. So do u mean to say that i need to ask for login again if i do not find any session? Is it a normal practice to do ? I always wonder what will happen if the user is half way - running some PHP script at back which calls another script in turn and session ends in between? May be this question will be very basic, but i always get confuse. I know bit of ASP.

My favorite example to use is Google, because there are two resources that make up the front page: the HTML and the logo.

By making persistent connections the default (HTTP/1.1), a single TCP connection can be established, and until all necessary resources are received, the same connection is used. This makes much more sense. The Connection header allows you to specify the desired behavior. Wow they finally have one image! IIRC, for a long time the logo was several small images that looked like a single image. That way, the whitespace around the letters didn't have to be included in the image. IMHO that was a cool solution. They still avoid superfluous line breaks, which makes me happy... Oh, and every major browser I am aware of does support it, but hopefully you can now see that it is not associated with sessions or even stateful transactions. Okay well then here's another reason not to rely on keep-alive: Users can't copy a URL and paste as an argument to wget -c (or any of the download managers). I'm sure there are many, many more reasons, but I sincerely doubt I'd have to convice anyone not to use keep-alive for sessions. Hope that helps.

[PHP] Need secure login
Hi, I have a client. He does not want member login by just giving password and login id. He says anybody can give this info to his friend and his friend can access the site.

Telling me I can only use one of them to access your site is like telling me I have to be wearing green socks whilst visiting your site. It should be about MY preference, not yours. Likewise, you can't tie a member to a mac address, or to an IP address. I don't really have a solution to your problem, and anything you DO implement will be a pain in the arse to users (otherwise Amazon et al would have already implemented it), but here's some thought starters\ -- all of which are deterrents NOT solutions. 1. Make sure that a user can't login from two different places at once, if the user does, generate an email report of the problem, so that you can keep an eye on users who might be abusing the system. 2. Randomly ask the user an additional question on login (DOB, pet's name, shoe size, postcode, etc) and compare it to Q's asked earlier. 3. Tell them repeatedly that sharing a userid/pass is against your acceptable terms, and that any members caught doing so will have their account closed without refund -- usually the idea of getting caught is a good enough deterrent. 4. Perhaps implement a rolling password system -- if this thing needs to be bullet proof. Each time they login, or once a month, or at random intervals, you could reset their password. Again, this ins't a solution, but it's a deterrent, because the user would have to keep their friends updated. Most of the above is guaranteed to frustrate users though. Is your site worth enough to your users to frustrate them? Is the content your protecting really that important? I doubt it :) Justin On Friday, October 10, 2003, at 11:44 AM, Manisha Sathe wrote: Hi, I have a client. He does not want member login by just giving password and login id. He says anybody can give this info to his friend and his friend can access the site. One way is to make use of cookie on his computer. So only from one computer he can access the site. But the thing is that user needs to accept it, and i believe I need to provide some method too in case they delete the cookie. Is there any other solution for this ? Is there any third party software for this ?

[PHP] Re: Any idea how to do this?
I am a newbie to php specially sessions part. I read a lot about it. On my site user needs to login. The session will be created and some info will be stored into it. Session will be ON for some predefined time (given in ini file e.g 30 mins). The session will die after that time ( according to what I understood). But what if I want system something like - till user closes his browser or logout - he should remain 'Login', even after 30 mins. Is there any thing like session_time_out event handler ? -- after time out again take session values and restore it ? If user closes his browser or presses 'Logout' button then only session ends till then he remains 'LogOn' Manisha Paul Van Schayck [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Ryan A) wrote in So I have decided that I am going to try to make the same thing on our site but offer it free to the public...only problem is...I dont know where to start and was hopeing someone here can give me tips/urls or links to boost me on my way...

[PHP] want to restart session after time out
Hi, I want to make use of sessions. Very new to this part. I read a lot about it. Now know how to register / start etc. I understand that session terminates after time out (specified in php.ini file e.g 30 mins). But I do not want session to be terminated like this. I want to terminate session only if user closes the browser or clicks 'LogOut' button. After 30 mins I still want to keep all session values as it is. Is there any way out ?
