Glad to hear it. I knew I shouldn't have opened my mouth. =P
(In all seriousness, I realize that I mis-read that code earlier. I

And if that's the only case you're concerned about, I suppose that
regex will do just fine. Just always keep an eye out for double
slashes elsewhere. My concern would be something within a quoted
string. If that happens, no regex will save you. As I mentioned
before, regexes aren't smart enough to understand whether they're
inside or outside matching quotes. Thus, a line like this may get
eaten by your regex:
document.getElementById("textField").innerHTML = "Lol slashes // are // fun";
The JS parser sees that the double slashes are inside a string, but
your regex won't. Just something to be aware of, especially because
it's something that might not show up right away.

Sorry, I slightly mis-interpreted what that code was intending to do.
Regardless, it is still something that should be done by an
interpreter. So this is another edge case where regexes would more
than likely break down but an interpreter should (I do say should) do
The Right Thing.

I would have to disagree. There are things that regex just can't at a
fundamental level grok. Things like nested brackets (e.g. the standard
blocking syntax of C, javascript, php, etc.). It's not a parser, and
despite all the little lookahead/behind tricks that enhanced regex can
do, it can't at a fundamental level _interret_ the text it sees. This
task involves interpreting what the text you're looking for actually
means, and should therefore be handled by something that can
interpret.
Also, (I haven't tested it, but) I don't think that example you gave
would work. Without any sort of quoting around the "http://";
, I would assume the JS interpreter would take that double slash as a
comment starter. Do tell me if I'm wrong, though.

This is just a spectacularly bad suggestion. First off, this task is probably a bit beyond the capabilities of a regex. Yes, you may be able to come up with something that works 99% of the time, but this is really a job for a parser of some sort. I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions on exactly where to go with that, however I'm sure Google can be of assistance. The main problem is that regex doesn't understand context. It just blindly finds patterns. A parser understands context, and can figure out which //'s are comments and which are something else. As a bonus, it can probably understand other forms of comments like /* */, which regex would completely die on. Blindly replacing a string with "any unlikely text string" is just bad. I don't care how unlikely your text string is, it _will_ eventually show up in a page. It may take 5 years, but it'll happen. And when it does, this little hack will blow up spectacularly. I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but this is not KISS. This may seem simple, but the submarine bugs it introduces will be a nightmare to track down, and then you'll be in the same boat that you are in right now. Don't do that to yourself.

That's as good of a guess as any of us will be able to conjure up. Since you've given us no details, no code and no error messages, we're basically relegated to blind guessing.

That's an odd subject for a PHP list, but here goes. PHP is a server-side language. In fact, for your circumstances, PHP would be of little use. All you need is a web server to serve the file. Unfortunately, there is no real way for a webserver to tell a client how to handle the file it sends. All it does is pipe data over the wire. What you want would have to be a function of the browser/downloader and AFAIK, no browsers support anything like that. Plus, if you're sending someone an EXE file, there's very little you can do to stop them from keeping a copy of it. You would have to implement some sort of authorization system within the C code to only allow access to the users you want (or whatever other arbitrary restrictions you wish to impose). This question would be much better suited for a C mailing list. Again, PHP == server side. It has NO control over anything client-side. -- --Zootboy Sent from my PC.

My suspicion is that the email contained no actual text body, so google

Unfortunately, email is only somewhat standardized. You'll have to make your

This makes your code more portable. Your code will need some restructuring, though. I did notice some other issues in your code, however. You delete the cookies in the beginning if they are set. This is probably what was killing your remember me function. But on a much more serious note, this script is full of security holes.

Re: [PHP] php causes HTTP 500, but results in blank page in apache
What happens if you create a test page with just the 500 header and some
html content in it? IIRC, apache won't override a php-generated error page.

Have you checked your apache settings for generating error pages? How is it
configured to handle 500 errors?

Big no-no! For ANY client-generated variable, always sanitize with mysql_real_escape_string. In fact, sanitize all your variables. It can't hurt. Also, please don't take a request for your entire code too literally. We don't like to see pages and pages and pages of code, just the pertinent bits. -- --Zootboy Sent from my PC.

Sure. In order to "tell" the browser to not cache a page, you need to set
the header "Cache-Control: no-cache". This can be done by the PHP command
header("Cache-Control: no-cache");

[PHP] Generate unique login token
I have a login system that I am coding. I need it to generate a unique token on login to be stored in the browser's cookie. I currently use a script that generates a MD5 hash of the current unix timestamp, then checks the mysql database to see if the token already exists. It loops this generate/check until it gets a unique token. Is there a better way to do this? I want a token that cannot be easiy predicted (i.e. not an auto-increment value).

I tried includes, and they fail as well. I tried putting the var in

[PHP] Require error
So, I have this code in a php file called testing.php:
$incl = '/webs/www.zootboy.com/sl/sql.inc';
if(!is_readable($incl)) die('ERROR: MySQL Include file does not
exist??!?');
require $incl or die('MySQL page not found. Unable to continue.');
When I run the code in command line, it outputs this:
[r...@localhost ~]# php -f /webs/www.zootboy.com/sl/testing.php
PHP Warning: require(1): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
in /webs/www.zootboy.com/sl/testing.php on line 13
PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '1'
(include_path='/var/php/inc/') in /webs/www.zootboy.com/sl/testing.php on
line 13
I have no idea what's going on. All the files have 777 perms.

[PHP] Bitwise operation giving wrong results
I have the following code as a test: if I set a to 15 and b to 2 in the URL like so: test.php?a=15&b=2 it outputs zero as the answer. When I run the hard-coded '&' operation (the commented out echo), it returns 2. I'm stumped. -- --Zootboy

Re: [PHP] textarea html generation problem
Thanks to all for your responses. I ended up using htmlentities. Thanks Stephen. Also, the reason I didn't use a premade editor is that I am planning on selling a web-editor system and don't want any troubles with licenses. Hi all! I am trying to make a PHP HTML editor. I have made the entire editor function, but it has a big problem. If the page contains a tag, it ends the editor's textarea and the browser starts rendering the HTML. How do I go about preventing this from happening? Thanks a lot! --Zootboy

Re: [PHP] php not reading file properly
Well, if you really want to know, I have to go to many places that do not
have internet access. For those places, I have a PDA. I have Avantgo
software on the PDA, and I wanted it to be able to store a copy of the log
file to review it when I do not have internet access. All I needed was a
webpage to access it, and the Avantgo software automatically downloads a
copy of it before I leave.

I would be willing to help with this project. Because of all the different requirements of this, I would recommend a totally custom set of scripts, and a mysql database to hold all the data.

Yeah, but it wouldn't read access_log.tmp, which wasn't being written to at the time of loading. I think the whole logs folder is restricted from php access.

Re: Fwd: [PHP] php not reading file properly
Yeah, I tried changing the perms, and that didn't work. I originally made the cron job put the temp copy in the same logs folder, but it refused to open that. I changed it to put the temp copy in the web folder, and it can read that. I think apache and/or php may have certain restrictions that keep them from accessing important system folders.

Re: Fwd: [PHP] php not reading file properly
So I made a cron jop to copy the log to the web folder every 5 minutes. That
worked fine. It seems that php can't read the /var/log/httpd folder without
root perms.

I dunno. Like I said, I can read it thru the terminal. Apache is still
running then.
As for Micah's response, that function won't work either.

Fwd: [PHP] php not reading file properly
Thanks for the advice. I changed the perms to 777 and changed the user and
group to apache, but it still won't open.

[PHP] php not reading file properly
I have this snippet of code that is supposed to read the apache access log
and display it:
For some reason, it displays the logs when I run the php file thru terminal:
php -f /web/apache.php
but not when I access it thru the web. when I browse to it, it just displays
the static text ("This weeks apache log (clears every sunday morning):"),
not the log text.
Very confused,
zootboy
