[PHP] mysql_num_rows

[Roger Lewis]

Would someone be kind enough to explain why I'm not getting the correct
result from the following query.  If I select a valid member no. and name,
the following query should return 1 row.  This is not the case, however.  It
returns zero rows.

$sql = "SELECT  * FROM users WHERE member_no = '$member_no' and
name = ' $name' ";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Cannot verify the member");
$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "rows = $rows";

Furthermore when trying the following query where the table "users" contains
13 rows, the query returns only 12 rows.

$sql = "SELECT  * FROM users";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Cannot verify the member");
$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "rows = $rows";

Conclusion: mysql_num_rows seems to be returning one less row than exists.
Is this correct?

Thanks in advance

RE: [PHP] Need Redirection Trick...

[Roger Lewis]

Nilaab,

This sounds similar to what I was trying to do recently, i.e creating
dependent dropdown boxes.  Here's a link to a demo of the code that might be
of interest to you.
http://www.onlinetools.org/tools/easyselectdata/index.html

Cheers.

Subject: [PHP] Need Redirection Trick...

Hello Everyone,

I have a simple problem that, I think, might require a little trick to be
used. I have a list of products in a database that is organized by
categories and subcategories. Categories can have as many subcategories as
it wants, but some categories don't need to have a subcategory at all.

In the following code "cat" refers to category and "subcat" refers to
subcategory.

cat_data and subcat_data refers to a multi-dimentional array, pulled from
the DB, with values of an id and a name.
example: cat_data[row_number][name_of_category] and
cat_data[row_number][id].

Ok, before I ask the question, here's the code:

[-- snip --]
get_cat_data();
for ($i=0; $i < count($cat_data); $i++) {
   echo '' .
$cat_data[$i]["name"] . "\n";
   if ($cat_id) {
  $subcat_data = $db->get_subcat_data($cat_id);
  if ($subcat_data != 0 && ($cat_id == $cat_data[$i]["id"])) {
 for ($j=0; $j < count($subcat_data); $j++) {
echo '- ' .
$subcat_data[$j]["name"] . "\n";
 }
  }
  elseif ($subcat_data == 0 && ($cat_id == $cat_data[$i]["id"])) {
 $subcat_id = 0;
 header("Location: $PHP_SELF?cat_id=$cat_id&subcat_id=$subcat_id");
  }
   }
}

?>
[-- snip --]

What this does is it lists all the categories in the database, initially.
When the user clicks on a category, the script will check if the category
has any subcategories associated with it. One of two things should happen
after this.

First, it should list all the subcategories directly below the category it
is associated with, with a little indention to specify that they are
subcategories. The subcategories listed will be a link that passes over the
cat_id and subcat_id GET variables to the same page.

example:category 1
category 2
   - subcategory 1
   - subcategory 2
   - subcategory 3
category 3
.
.
.

This part of the script works fine.

The second thing that should happen is that if there are actually no
subcategories for the selected category then subcat_id should equal 0 and
the script should redirect back to the same page with the GET variables of
cat_id and subcat_id (which is equal to zero at this point). The problem is
that I cannot redirect with a header() function because content is already
sent to the browser at the beginning of the script (the list of categories).
Is there any other way that I can redirect and send the variables of cat_id
and subcat_id to the page in the second situation mentioned earlier?
Register Globals is on.

[PHP] PHP Configuration - Can't Change Post_Max_Size

[Roger Lewis]

This is further to my post yesterday on Max File Size.

I was able to set upload_max_filesize to 790 and I can therefore upload
files up to that size.  I would now like to increase that limit, but I am
limited by post_max_size which defaults to 8M.  I can't seem to change the
value of post_max_size.

The post_max_size directive is not in my php.ini; however, I tried inserting
it into php.ini and setting it to 1600 and to 16M.   I inserted it just
before the directive, gpc_order  = "GPC".  The change is ignored by
phpinfo(), that is, phpinfo() still shows post_max_size = 8M.

Furthermore, I tried resetting it using ini_set("post_max_size", "16M"), and
ini_set("post_max_size", "1600"), but neither of these had any effect.

Any suggestion for how I might reset post_max_size.  I'm using PHP 4.0.6.

Thanks in advance.

Roger

I think I figured it out.  The clue was that phpinfo() would show changes
that I wasn't making.  I concluded that it might be a syntax error in my
php.ini due to some weird line wrapping that was going on. (I can't see the
entire text on my telnet screen).  I deleted my entire section on "Paths and
Directories" and replaced with a clean section.  Then reset
upload_max_filesize and restarted Apache.
Wadda you know! It worked.
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

That's what I've been trying to say, Jason.  I set upload_max_filesize in

I tried using 8M, but no difference.  The original setting was 200, and
that didn't seem to be too many digits.  I'm going to check out ini_set as

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll try ini_set although I'm not yet certain of
how to use it.
It still seems odd that I can't simply set upload_max_filesize to whatever
value I want.

I checked again and post_max_size is not in my php.ini, but perhaps I should
just add it.

Also, I was wrong before - I do have a directive for memory_limit.  It is 8M

Regardless, this doesn't explain why I can't upload a file that exceeds 2M,
except that I don't seem to be able to reset upload_max_filesize to greater
than 2M.

If you have any other thoughts, they are much appreciated.

post_max_size *should* be in php.ini, I think

I ususally leave these things up to our sysop ;)

Checking back to when I was coding for file uploading, I see that there were
4 settings to ensure were 'high enough'

max_execution_time
memory_limit
post_max_size
upload_max_filesize

I *think* that ini_set may be used to change these settings, but I could be
wrong.

RE: [PHP] Max File Size

[Roger Lewis]

On Wednesday, December 04, 2002 3:03 PM, I wrote

Hi,

I'm having a problem uploading files greater than 2mb, but I believe the
problem is related to php.ini.

UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE in my submit form is set to 1000.  Also, I set
upload_max_filesize = 1000 in php.ini.  After changing php.ini, I
stopped and then started httpd.  I thought this was enough to be able to
upload files greater than the default 2mb.

Even though php.ini has been changed, when I check phpinfo.php, I see that
upload_max_filesize is still 2mb and my file is not being uploaded.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing here.

Thanks,

Roger Lewis



Further to my original post, to check if my php.ini was being recognized I
temporarily changed some other configuration options, i.e. register_globals
and include_path, and reloaded phpinfo.php.  All options, except for
upload_max_filesize, were changed per my input.  Does anyone know why
upload_max_filesize is not being reset?
The following is from my php.ini showing upload_max_filesize = 750:
;
; Paths and Directories ;
;

include_path=  ".:/home/sites/home/users/demo/phpinclude" ; UNIX:
"/path1:/path2"  Windows: "\path1;\path2"

doc_root=   ; the root of the php 
pages, used only if nonempty

user_dir=   ; the directory under 
which php opens the script using
/~username, used only if nonempty

;upload_tmp_dir =   ; temporary directory for HTTP uploaded
files (will use system default if not specified)

upload_max_filesize = 750   ; 2 Meg default limit on file uploads

extension_dir   =   /usr/lib/apache/php ; directory in 
which the loadable
extensions (modules) reside

Thanks for any help on this,

Are you sure you're looking at the right php.ini? Try calling phpinfo()
and check where PHP is looking for the ini file.

This sounds pretty good, but I know absolutely nothing about xml or xsl.
Any literature, articles, links, or other resources you know of that could
point me in the right direction.  This would be worth researching.

This is where xml and xsl come in handy...you could have all the pages
outputed to xml format and then use xslt to transform to html.

Then you could do it all on the fly, and each month create a new cd with
all the html files...

RE: [PHP] publishing php > mysql website on cd-rom

Personally, I like the idea of a static site.  I have a dynamic,
database-driven site that handles documentation for an engineering project.
When the project is over, I would like to archive the entire site, including
the database and all document directories, onto a static, html-only, CD.
Has anyone done this?  Can it be done other than by separately displaying
and saving each page as an html page, and then manually creating the links?

RE: [PHP] Problem with is_dir function

[Roger Lewis]

I believe the path is of the correct format.
So for example, if
$user_dir = /home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforum/user
and $user_dir exists, then
is_dir($user_dir) should = 1
however, if $user_dir doesn't exist, then
is_dir($user_dir) should = 0

Isn't this the correct logic?

Roger

what values of $user_dir are you passing to is_dir?

echo them out before the test, you might be sending paths which are most
certainly not directories... for example:
c:\windows
/home/blah
would be valid, but
c:\windows\win.com
/home/blah/myfile
http://somesite/somepath
ftp://someftpserver/incoming
are invalid

[PHP] Confirm a Deletion

[Roger Lewis]

I know this should be very simple, but I just don't get it.

I want to delete a record from a mysql table, but prior to deleting the
record I want to receive an option to confirm the deletion.  On page one
(kb_areas_add.php) I have a form for inputting the field (area_todelete) for
the record I want to delete.  The form action goes to page two
(kb_areas_delete) on which I am asked to confirm the deletion.  I want to be
able to press the delete button to delete the record, or the cancel button
to cancel the operation.

The way the code is written, the record gets deleted immediately upon
clicking the submit button on page one.  Is there some way I can keep the
script on page two from executing until after I press the confirmation
button?

Thanks for any suggestions.


/* FORM FOR SELECTING AREA TO DELETE */



Area: 



/* FORM TO CONFIRM DELETION */

Are you sure you wish to delete the general area,

[PHP] Dependent Dropdown Boxes

[Roger Lewis]

The Situation:

I'm trying to create a pair of dynamic dropdown boxes where the options in
the second box are dependent on the selection in the first box.  I call the
first box "categories" and the second, "subcategories".  I want to store the
categories and subcategories in a mysql table(s) so that a user can
dynamically update them.  Currently, I have a single table called
categories, with columns: id, category, and subcategory.

The primary code for selecting the options for the second box is in
javascript.  This code makes use of the following datasets for storing the
various categories and subcategories.  If I can get php to generate this
text, then the dependent boxes will work.

datasets=new Array();
datasets[0]="Category1,subCategory1_1,subCategory1_2,subCategory1_3,subCateg
ory1_4".split(",");
datasets[1]="Category2,subCategory2_1,subCategory2_2,subCategory2_3".split("
,");
datasets[2]="Category3,subCategory3_1, subCategory3_2,
subCategory3_3,subCategory3_4,subCategory3_5".split(",");
datasets[3]="Category4,subCategory4_1,subCategory4_2,subCategory4_3,subCateg
ory4_4".split(",");
datasets[4]="Category5,subCategory5_1,subCategory5_2,subCategory5_3,subCateg
ory5_4,subCategory5_5,subCategory5_6".split(",");
etc…

The Problem:

Using the following code I can get php to print the results, but only in a
line-by-line, category/subcategory format.  Of course, this is NOT what is
needed.  Each subcategory name should be on the same line as its associated
category.

datasets[$count]=\"";
print "$row[1],";
print "$row[2]\"";
}
?>


datasets[0]="Category1,subCategory1_1
datasets[1]="Category1,subCategory1_2
datasets[2]="Category1,subCategory1_3
datasets[3]="Category1,subCategory1_4
datasets[4]="Category2,subCategory2_1
datasets[5]="Category2,subCategory2_2
etc…

Simply hold down the control key and then push the "r" key while looking at
the source code window.  That will cause the page source to repost, and you

Richard,

Did you see my reply to your recent response to David Buerer in "Re: set
filename of file open/download"?

After searching everything I could find on the subject, and hours of trying
as many combinations of headers as I could think of, I got everything to
work the way I wanted in "both" IE and NN.  The pop-up pops up. The jpg and
pdf, etc. files open in the windows.  If it's an xls or some such file, the
dialog asks if I want to save or open.  Whatever my response, it knows the
filename and behaves as requested.  Hard to believe.  :)  I believe the key
was to add:

header('Cache-Control: public');

Any thoughts as to why this is needed for MSIE.

Roger

I have been struggling with this problem for the last several days.  (See my
recent post, "Trouble Downloading Files, 8.24.02".  The problem I had was
mostly with IE.  Here is how I solved it.
I used the code from the following as the basis of my code:
http://www.zend.com/zend/trick/tricks-august-2001.php
To make it work in IE, I had to add two lines to the section on "send
headers" (See commented lines below).
//send headers
if(($pc > 1) AND isset($mimetype[$p[$pc - 1]]))
{
//display file inside browser
header("Content-type: " . $mimetype[$p[$pc - 1]] . "\n");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"\n");   // THIS
LINE IS ADDED TO GIVE A CHOICE TO OPEN, OR SAVE AS FILENAME.
}
else
{
//force download dialog
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream\n");
header("Content-disposition: attachment;
filename=\"$file\"\n");
}
header('Cache-Control: public');// THIS LINE IS ADDED TO MAKE  MSIE 
WORK
AT ALL
header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary\n");
header("Content-length: " . filesize($path) . "\n");
//send file contents
$fp=fopen($path, "r");
fpassthru($fp);

The Cache-Control header came from comments by [EMAIL PROTECTED], 04-Apr-2002
12:25, in http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fpassthru.php
I'm not sure why these additions fixed the problem, but they did.  Maybe
someone out there with a better understanding than I can explain.  Hope this
helps.

RE: [PHP] How Do You Protect Individual Files

[Roger Lewis]

Justin,

Thanks again.  I've been doing some more research on .htaccess.  The problem
I see is that it is high maintenance, i.e. I've already got a MySQL table of
users with username and password.  To use .htaccess, you have to have a
htpasswd file containing duplicate usernames and passwords, and this would
have to be in sync with the MySQL table.

I have found that there is an Apache module, mod_auth_mysql, that allows
.htaccess to access a MySQL database for the information it needs.  This
module is available at
http://www.diegonet.com/support/mod_auth_mysql.shtml.  Problem is you have
to install the mod and recompile Apache, I think.  And I don't know how to
do that yet.  However, if everything works in accordance with my
interpretation, you should be able to put an .htascess file into the
directory you wish to protect and Mod_auth_mysql will communicate with the
database to authenticate the users.

[PHP] Multiple File Uploads With a Single Input

[Roger Lewis]

Is anyone aware of any recent developments that would allow you to upload
multiple files from a single .  Many of the messages in the
archives say that this is impossible; however, these messages are more that
a year old.

I would like to be able to click a browse button, select multiple files, and
upload them to a directory all at one time.  Can it be done?

Well, I originally searched for "protect file downloads".  I also searched
"protect individual files", "protect files", "authenticate files", and on
and on.  There are thousands of messages, but very few with relevant titles
or content.  One point to consider: I have no control over the files
themselves.  They are being uploaded to the document directories by end
users, so I do not know the file names.  What I am trying to do is prevent
someone who knows the path to the file from being able to gain access to it
without authorization.
One of the best ideas I saw was to put the files outside the web root
directory.  That sounded pretty good until I discovered that then I couldn't
access the files.  Now you've again pointed out that solution, so I'm sure
it will work.  I've just got to study up on the subject.
I ran across the Zend article a couple of weeks ago, but it's going to take
me awhile to understand it.  I'm pretty new at this game, and my programming
skills are very limited.

I'm going to research .htaccess also.
Thanks

[PHP] How Do You Protect Individual Files

[Roger Lewis]

I haven't been able to find much on this subject in the archives.

Using sessions I have been able to have the server validate the user's
access level before serving him a page.   I put include files on each page
that I want authenticated.  This is all well and good, except on my pages
there are links to non-html, and non-php files that are stored in document
directories on the server.

How, on a file-by-file basis, do I ensure that the user is authorized to
download these files?  If he gets to them through the link I provide, this
is acceptable because he is already authorized to view the page that the
link is on.  However, if he somehow knows the full path to the file, he can
get to it directly, bypassing the link and overriding the authentication
system.

Thanks for any help on this question.

I tried this, but I got an index error.  It doesn't understand 'address'
and I couldn't figure out what was going on.

I like this method because it seems more elegant than above, but I don't
seem to be able to create the array properly.
I tried the following  as well as many other combinations, but couldn't get
anything to work:
$sql = "SELECT email_address FROM users WHERE is_subscribed = 1";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$to = implode(",", mysql_fetch_array($result));

Be careful however.  Most SMTP servers has a limit on the number of
recipients you can send one email to.  It's a very easy way to trigger spam

[PHP] How Can I Generate an Email List from a MySQL Table

[Roger Lewis]

I have a MySQL table named "users" in which there is a column named
"email_address" and another named "is_subscribed".  I would like to send an
email to all of the addresses for which "is_subscribed" is true.  I think I
know how to send the email, i.e.,

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

I tested this out and it works fine when, for instance, $to =
"[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]" or some such collection of
addresses.

My problem is how do you create the variable, $to, from the MySQL table so
that it contains all of the addresses separated by commas.

Thanks for your help,

Assuming $username is 'tom', are you trying to create:

a)  /home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforumtom

or:

b)  /home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web/userforum/tom

Your code is trying to do (a). In any case whatever you're trying to do, you
need both the following:

i) Have execute permissions ('x') on all the directories in the path leading
down to where you wish to create your directory

ii) Have write permission ('w') on the directory in which you are creating
your directory



Jason and TechSupport,

Jeeze, do I feel stupid.  One slash and that's all it took.  Thanks much.

Re the permissions, I have userforum set to 0777.  php creates the new
directory as 0775.  Presumably this is because of the effect of umask,
right?
When I upload files to the new directory using php uploading script, they go
in as 0600, with owner - httpd, and group - root.  (The owner/group on my
machine is httpd/httpd).  I can link to and read the files on the browser OK
so I'm happy.  Are there any security issues I should be concerned with
here.

Thanks again, Roger Lewis

[PHP] How do you make a directory

I'm trying to learn to create a directory in php, and from everything I've

Unfortunately I can't get it to work.  I am getting the error message:

Warning: MkDir failed (Permission denied) in

Obviously, it has something to do with permissions.  I have chmod for the
directory 'userforum' set to 0777.  I tried playing around with umask, and
changing the chmod, but I can't get anything to work.

I am using PHP 4.0.6 with Apache 1.3.20

Here is the script:
