[PHP] executing a shell command within a function
Hi, Im coding a function that will create a set of directories using execution of shell commands within the function. Then the function saves different sizes of images in each directory. Later in the function I open one of these directories to list the content in them. The problem is that the directoris dont exist when the function is trying to list the content in them. When I execute the function again with exactly the same parameters there is no problem, then the directories exist! Im thinking that the shell commands are somehow set in some kind of buffer or queue and are not executed until the rest of the php code is executed? Could this be true? If anyone has anything to say on this Id appreciate it. BTW I'm using RH8.0 and PHP 4.2.2 Kveðja, Sævar Öfjörð [EMAIL PROTECTED] þetta reddast - hönnunarlausnir www.reddast.is -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

i think the problem isn't only your 'return false' but also your 'return
true' in your first loop through your foreach will definetly a 'return'
be
passed. and return means return a value AND stop the function. not?
try it this way:
foreach ($groups as $value)
{
if(!isset($this->user['groups'][$value]) ||
!$this->user['groups'][$value])
{
return false;
}
}
return true;

[PHP] homemade authentication function
Im making an authentication script with groups and roles. This function
checks if the groups the user belongs to specified groups and compares
them to the groups required. However, since this is a loop, the function
doesnt return true or false as expected. If I call the function and
require 3 groups, and the user belongs to only one of them, he is still
accepted. Is this method right thinking? Should I make the function stop
somehow when it returns false for the first time? All suggestions and
comments are appreciated. Thanks.
This is the function:
function require_groups() {
if (!isset($this->user['groups'])) {
$this->user['groups'] =
$this->get_user_groups($this->id);
}
$groups = func_get_args();
foreach ($groups as $value) {
if
(!isset($this->user['groups'][$value]) ||
!$this->user['groups'][$value]) {
return false;
}
else{
return true;
}
}
}
And I call it like this: require_groups(admins,
moderators,members);
This returns true.

This is supported in the standards I think, as it says clearly in the HTML 4.01 specification on www.w3.org: "file select - This control type allows the user to select files so that their contents may be submitted with a form." Note that 'files' is plural. However, no browser yet supports this feature. The only way to upload multiple files in one page is to create multiple fileboxes and store the filenames in an array.

[PHP] Problem authenticating through sessions and cookies
Im trying to write a class for authentication. Ive got it going quite
good but there are some problems Im not shure how to deal with.
First, here's the idea:
When the class is called, the constructor checks a session variable to
see if the user is logged in. If not, it checks if a client-cookie is
set.
If the user is already logged in, the checksession function checks a
database to see if ip matches and so on. If all that matces, the session
is updated. If on the other hand a client-cookie is set, the cookie is
compared to the database and if true, the session is updated.
Now, when the user logs in, he can check a box if he wants to
remembered. Then, a cookie is generated and sent to client.
The problem is, a cookie seems to be generated, even if I don't check
the check box. Further more, when I log in, the session seems to be set.
When I refresh, a cookie that isn't supposed to exist is checked and the
session variables don't work. Then if I refresh again the session is ok
but cookie is not checked etc...
If someone has the time it would be great if he or she could take a look
at the code. Thanks in advance for any help.
Class.auth.php
-
debug=$debug;
$this->mysql=dbConnect($debug);
if ($_SESSION['logged']) {

RE: [PHP] Using PHP to read style sheet -- create drop-down?
Sure. You should use file functions like

or
http://is.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php
to read the file and then maybe
http://is.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php
to extract certain elements from the text.
Here is what i came up with:
$file=file("whatever.css");
$total=count($file);
print "\n";
for($i=0;$i<$total;$i++){
preg_match("/^[.]?([a-zA-Z])+/",$hm,$matches);
print " ".$matches[0]."\n";
}
print "";
This should output:
.heading
.headingBold

There you can see how to use the $_FILES autoglobals ($HTTP_POST_FILES

So, for example, you can do this before saving the uploaded file:

Wrt the spanning of the form, I think, in my situation, it would actually make things worse... You see, my suspicion is that most of the users who are experiencing problems, have very bad connections, many complain that they lose connectivity while they are busy with the form ( it takes them maybe 30 min or so to fill out the entire form ( they basically transfer the data off paper forms they have filled out earlier while "on-site", so it's not really alot of data, but there are a lot of fields...) So, my fear with this approach is that they will maybe get past the first part of the form, submit that OK, then start getting trouble with subsequent parts, leaving me with a whole lot of partial entries in the DB., and how do I get them to "resume" at a a later stage? You don't understand the mindset of these people, when something goes wrong, they'll switch off their PC's and try to start from scratch, so it's going to be difficult to try and get them to understand the concept of multi-part forms... I shudder to even think what will happen, or worse, how I will be able to allow them to make corrections on a certain part of the form once they have submit it. And sometimes, to their defense, it's not them that want to change the details on the form, but the subject of the form who has decided to change their name etc... I'm not ditching this idea, I will definitely give it some more thought, it's just at this moment, my mind is running through my original idea of PDF forms trying to evaluate it. Each method will have it's pro's and cons, and I'll have to go and weigh them. I must add, I don't see "effort" as a con for a particular solution, as long as I know it will solve the problem without adding other cons... Thanks again, will take it up with you again ( need some more input on this PDF thing to get some balanced views) PS, if you have experience with using this method, I would appreciate it if you could let me have your "field notes" and how successfull it's working for you. You see, the main thing here is that I need to KNOW when someone who says they have submitted something actually have, and that they are not trying their luck...

RE: [PHP] Convert KB to MB?
Actually, if we want too go into details, according to the international standard for units, there is a big difference in 'M' and 'm'. 'M' means Mega and 'm' means milli. You are probably aware of that Mega is 10 in the power of 3 but milli is 10 in the power of -3. The difference is, like, a million. On the other hand, millibytes seems just absurd. I mean, 1/1000 of a byte, what is that? So I guess nobody cares about wether they are typing 'M' or 'm'...

As I have it right now, I use the UPDATE where id=$id function. However, this changes EVERY field. For example, if I want to only change the grape field and leave everything else the same (so I thus leave those fields blank) it overwrites the others with a blank field. Is there anyway to where if it reads a blank field instead of deleting the old information, the update php file just leaves it the same? thanks very much for any help, Matt Hedges -- ___ | Matt Hedges | http://hedgesinnovations.com | -- 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
RE: [PHP] strange crypt() problem
Well, if you don't find another solution for this, you could generate
random passwords for each member and mail them to them. Then you would
md5() them and update the DB with new md5()'ed passwords... This is not
the easy way out so I hope someone finds out why the crypt() is behaving
strangely.

Try using md5() instead because it is more widely supported than crypt()
and it leaves no room for errors.

I have this bit of code to crypt user password in user registration as
shown
below.
$cryptpass=crypt($makepass);
which generated crypted password like eg 37Q9fppLHc4fQ with php 4.0
And am using the codes below to check for valid login..
// $pass - from login page
// $dbpass - from the database
$pass=crypt($pass,substr($dbpass,0,2));
}
if (strcmp($dbpass,$pass)) {
return(0);
}
Recently i have moved the same file to a new server with php 4.3.1 the
problem is the same piece of codes above generates completely differen
crypted value eg.$1$RjZHv7qx$h/L9ZUNT48rilHB6fGoMP/ .. hence the login
codes above does not work... :(
Please someone tell me that i am not going mad

RE: [PHP] explode, split, or what?
why don't you just do this? *** *** file() returns the file in an array, each line as new value, so line nr. 1 is $line[0], line nr. 2 is $line[1] etc... I added stripslashes() on the output so that you won't get "John\'s X Log" Sævar - ICELAND -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Problem while retrieving data from cookie with unserialize
Hi, Im having this problem:
I set a cookie using this:
$sql = "UPDATE member SET cookie=$cookie WHERE
".
"id = $this->id";
$this->mysql->query($sql);
$cookie =
urlencode(serialize(array($_SESSION['username'], $cookie)));
setcookie('auth', $cookie, time() + 31104000,
'/', 'www.reddast.is');
And then when I check the cookie using this:
list($username, $cookie) =
@unserialize(urldecode($cookie));
using this query:
"SELECT * FROM member WHERE (username = $username) AND
(cookie = $cookie)";
it looks like this when I debug the script and see the actual query that
is sent to Mysql:
"SELECT * FROM member WHERE (username = 'ofjord') AND
(cookie = '\'86aa5f7e6469efe09a17089957f59b0f\'')";
I hope someone has any answers on this.
Best regards,
