[PHP] Execute command line as a different user
My PHP is running as a user with limited rights. I'd like to execute a command line as a different user. I'm trying to delete a file and the PHP user doesn't have access to do this.

[PHP] FTP Copy
I've been looking on php.net, but can't find anything that covers this... Basically, I am using PHP FTP to connect to an FTP server and run some functions. I want to copy a directory on the FTP server to another directory on the FTP server. Since there isn't an ftp_copy() function, I have to use ftp_get() to bring the file to the local webserver temp folder, then use ftp_put() to place it into a different folder on the FTP server. This is quite a big pain, since the webserver is not on the same network as the remote FTP server, so it must download the file and then upload it to a different place (takes a long time). Is there an FTP that will just copy the file/folder from the FTP server without the need to download/upload it somewhere else?

[PHP] Organizing a group project
Hello all. I'm the webmaster and developer of all the software and content at SweetPHP.com. I have a few ideas for some new scripts that I would love to work on, but don't have enough time to fully commit. I would love to start up a group effort for a few things and be part of a development team, this way, I get to help out, but I won't have to carry the entire load myself. I've seen the great products that come from great development teams. Up until this point I've pretty much just been developing software on my own. As a change of pace, I would love to start up a group project for a couple ideas I've had. Does anyone know of good sites that might be a starting point for something like this? Maybe a site where I could create the idea for a project and any interested people could sign up (or apply) to join the development team? I could announce it on my site, but I don't know if I have too many developers visiting, so that might not be the best way. If anyone has done anything similar to this in the past, please give me your feedback. I still plan on developing software on my own, but I'd love to opportunity work with and learn from other developers as well.

[PHP] Beta Testers Wanted
Hey guys. I would like to first say thanks for all the help you have all given me in the past (especially in my early programming days). Once again, I would like to show my appreciation by offering an opportunity to use a new PHP program I have created. The program is called TotalXplorer. Basically it's an online file manager for your website that uses PHP's FTP functionality to perform actions on files/folders (this get's rid of the need to make them writable for PHP). The file manager also has a built-in file upload feature, file editor, mp3 music player (to play tracks directly from your site without downloading them first), and more. You can view the demo of it here: http://sweetphp.com/projects/TotalXplorer/ I'm looking for 5-10 people who would be willing to help test it out and give feedback about it. In exchange for this, you will receive a free copy of the software when it's ready to go. If you are interested, please let me know. This will be first come, first server, but please be willing to put in a little time with the testing of it. I have offered similar beta testing programs for some of the other scripts I have available at http://sweetphp.com and they have become very successful because of all your help.

This is simple to accomplish if you use database managed PHP sessions.
You can override the default PHP session handling functions with
session_set_save_handler() then you will know what users are logged in
by what sessions are still active. Here's how I do it:
My sessions.php that I require in all other scripts on the site:
?php
if(ini_get('session.use_trans_sid')==0){
ini_set(session.use_trans_sid, 1);
}
$sessionDbHandler = '';
function sessionOpen($save_path, $session_name){
global $sessionDbHandler;
if(! $sessionDbHandler = mysql_pconnect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS)){
die(Can't get sessionDbHandler: .mysql_error());
}
return true;
}
function sessionClose(){
return true;
}
function sessionRead($key){
$sql =
select
sessionData
from
.TB_USER_SESSIONS.
where
sessionID = '$key'
and
sessionExpire UNIX_TIMESTAMP()
;
$query = mysql_query($sql);
if(mysql_num_rows($query)){
return mysql_result($query, 0, sessionData);
}
return false;
}
function sessionWrite($key, $val){
$value = addslashes($val);
$sql =
replace into .TB_USER_SESSIONS. (
sessionID,
sessionData,
sessionExpire
) values (
'$key',
'$value',
UNIX_TIMESTAMP() + .SITE_ONLINE_EXPIRE.
)
;
return mysql_query($sql);
}
function sessionDestroy($key){
$sql =
delete from
.TB_USER_SESSIONS.
where
sessionID = '$key'
;
return mysql_query($sql);
}
function sessionGarbageCollection(){
$sql =
delete from
.TB_USER_SESSIONS.
where
sessionExpire UNIX_TIMESTAMP()
;
$query = mysql_query($sql);
return sqlAffectedRows();
}
session_set_save_handler(sessionOpen, sessionClose,
sessionRead, sessionWrite, sessionDestroy,
sessionGarbageCollection);
session_start();
?
Some config.php variables:
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_DB', 'db_name');
define('DB_USER', 'db_user');
define('DB_PASS', 'db_pass');
define('TB_USER_SESSIONS', 'userSessions');
define('SITE_ONLINE_EXPIRE', 900);
The table structure for userSessions looks like this:
CREATE TABLE `userSessions` (
`sessionID` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
`sessionData` text NOT NULL,
`sessionExpire` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`sessionID`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
When a user logs in you are probably already setting some kind of
userID or userName, so make that a session variable if it is not
already. Then it's just a matter of listing the userNames or userIDs
out of the userSessions table.
You might want to force session garbage collection at the top of each
script by calling sessionGarbageCollection(). That will make the
username listings more realtime.

define('DB_PASS', 'db_pass');
define('TB_USER_SESSIONS', 'userSessions');
define('SITE_ONLINE_EXPIRE', 900);
The table structure for userSessions looks like this:
CREATE TABLE `userSessions` (
`sessionID` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
`sessionData` text NOT NULL,
`sessionExpire` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`sessionID`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
When a user logs in you are probably already setting some kind of
userID or userName, so make that a session variable if it is not
already. Then it's just a matter of listing the userNames or userIDs
out of the userSessions table.
You might want to force session garbage collection at the top of each
script by calling sessionGarbageCollection(). That will make the
username listings more realtime.

[PHP] Online Users
I am trying to keep a MySQL table of all currently online users for a system I'm making. It's pretty simple to add the username to the list when they login, but I don't know how to remove their username when they leave (unless they click the logout button). Basically I want to be able to keep a list of all currently active users. So if they close out their browser, it will remove their name from the list (within a reasonable time frame).

Re: [PHP] Online Users
Is it possible to make a table of all logged in users session ids and then check to see if the session still exists every couple minutes? So every minute or two, it would go through the table and for each record it would get the session id, then check that session id to see if it's still in existance. Is this possible to do?

echo {$input}\n;
$input = str_replace('bad', 'good', $input);
echo {$input}\n;

you might also think about stripping script tags etc.
try taking a look at some forum code (e.g. phpbb.com) to see how they do
it.
no doubt that some real regexp wizard could perform the above

If you've looked through the usual scripts repositories and haven't found
anything useful then you can try:
exec('nslookup xx');
and parse the results.

I have been searching the web for ways to execute remote PHP files through the use of JAVA code, but I haven't had any luck. I have found many ways to call JAVA functions from a PHP script, but not the other way around. What I'm trying to accomplish is I want to build a JAVA application that will be run from a users local computer after installation and this JAVA program will connect to a url on my server (a url to a PHP script). This PHP script will be used to connect to the server's MySQL database and send some retrieved information back to the JAVA application on the users machine. I have been searching the web for hours trying to find a tutorial, or advice on how to accomplish this, but so far I have had no luck. If anyone has any advice or suggestions please let me know.

Re: [PHP] Using PHP with JAVA
I don't neccessarily WANT to mix the 2 languages. I just have an application on my webserver that uses MySQL databases and the script is all written in PHP (which I am pretty good at). The only reason I want to use JAVA is so a user can download and install a program that I write (since JAVA is platform independant) that they can run on their local computers. This JAVA program will connect to the server (PHP files) and send back all the information to the JAVA app. This way, the user doesn't even have to go to the website for this script. They can just open the JAVA program and it will be passed all the neccessary information. I'm just a beginner in JAVA, so it will probably take me quite a while to figure out how to build a whole program like this. Eventually, I want it to be similar to the Gallery Remote program (found at: http://gallery.menalto.com/) for a PHP image gallery. I got a long way to go before I will have this created though, since I'm very new to JAVA (I'm much stronger in PHP). Anyway, I'm sure you get the idea.

Re: [PHP] Using PHP with JAVA
I don't know much about that, but it definitely sounds better, escpecially since it's still PHP based. Do you know of any websites or tutorials I can go to to learn more about it? It sounds like a much better option. Thanks, Matt Ray Hunter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, I would like to point out that you could possibly use php-gtk to do some gui applications. Since it has a windows and *nix port you can use that too. I have built a couple of apps with it that pull snmp data from routers with it that worked great.

[PHP] Initial Value for Input Box
I have a form that a user can fill out. In the text input field I allow them to insert HTML tags with their input data. They can then submit the form for processing. The problem is that later on when they go to edit their inputs (I initialize the text input with their previously submitted input) and they have HTML tags with double quotes, the it will only put characters up to the first double quote inside the input box and the rest will go outside of it. I would like the text box to contain everything they previously submitted to be displayed there.

Hi everyone,
Can I replace Submit buttons on forms with a text button?
I need to be able to click on a link:
a href=index.php?option=editEdit/a
and have it submit the form. The form only contains one field...does anyone
know how to do this? I've been searching google for an answer, but couldn't
find any info that really applies to my question. This isn't exactly a PHP
related question, but php is hugely involved in this project.
Thanks!

Example: when you set up the frames use the name attribute to assign names to the frames... so if you have a frame named frame1...then you can do this... frame1.document.forms[0].action.value = where; frame1.document.forms[0].submit; I might be off on this a little but that should get you started in the right direction. -- BigDog -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Problem adding value to session array
I have a session array that stores some values that I set. It holds all the inserted values, unless the value I want to insert has a space in it, then it only inserts the characters before the space into the array. It looks like this: // This works $sessionArray[1] = nospace; echo result: .$sessionArray[1];// result: nospace // This doesn't work $sessionArray[1] = with space; echo result: .$sessionArray[1];// result: with // should be result: with space Anyone know how to fix or avoid this from happening?

[PHP] Input Submi Help
I have a script that contains a form which goes to page1.php on the click of a submit button. Inside the form are lots of checkboxes and things to fill out that get passed to page1.php. I want to put another button in there that send all the same names and values of the checkboxes to page2.php. Is this possible to have 2 buttons going to 2 different places, but using the same data for all other form elements? I would really appreciate any help I can get. Thanks. Matt
[PHP] Insert leading zeros
I have a string of digits that looks like something like these: 0025, 1234, 0001, 1003, and so on. They are all 4 digits in length. Then when I increment one of them by 1, I want to still have 4 digits for the value (it should insert the leading zeros if needed). Is there any type of function that will force the incremented value to be exactly 4 digits no matter what number it increments? Please let me know if there is a function that will insert these leading zeros or truncate it to 4 digits if necessary. Thanks. Matt

[PHP] working with forms
I have a forms page that a user will fill out. When it is submitted, it checks to see if any of the field entries entries are empty, and if so, it has a die() statement that has a link (javascript:history.back()) which sends the user back to the form page. However, when they go back to the form page, all the entries they made are erased and they need to redo everything. Is there and easy way to have them go back with all their previously inputted data still filled in? Let me know. Thanks, Matt

[PHP] slash trouble when editing text
I wrote a small script that creates a link to all the .php and .txt files in a given directory. When one of these links is clicked, it brings up another window with the files contents inserted into a text area. From there the user can edit the text file then click a submit button to make the changes. The problem is whenever the file contains quotes, when the file gets edited it puts a slash in front of every quote. Like this. // original .txt file these are quotes Then when the submit buttons is clicked, the file looks like this: // edited .txt file \these are quotes\ If submit is pressed again, then it will look like this: // twice edited file \\these are quotes\\ Does anyone know how I can avoid this from happening?
