open_basedir can't be over-ridden in .htaccess or with ini_set.

That would defeat its whole purpose.

max_execution_time can be, but I *think* there might be something with
php_admin_value that makes it not be over-ridable.

I don't know where it is in the source, but I know you can try digging
through the source here:
http://lxr.php.net/
or here:
http://cvs.php.net/

It's not going to be terribly tricky to find, as it's not in the
extensions, and it's GOT to be in something pretty basic/fundamental,
as well as in the first chunk of code that executes...

That's a question that's better asked on the Internals list.  Ask
on there and you'll probably get the answer you're looking for much
quicker.

Probably can't because the database has to be created as root.. unless 
you get into using the switches which seems like a lot more hassle than 
it's worth but *shrug*.


If this is for a cron command, try

env php

which should pick whichever is in the $PATH for the cron environment.

Not 100% guaranteed but 90% should work.

and if you're in a little bit of hurry you can also use find -name "some part

Re: [PHP] location of the PHP executable

[Jochem Maas]

your script should try it's best to find the executable, on failure
you might consider having it mail an error to you so at least you
can pre-empt the client with regard to getting things working.

most windows machines will probably have there php binary at:

$_ENV['PHPRC'].'php.exe'

variations on the exe name can be (IIRC):

'php-win.exe'
'php-cli.exe'

I think you can be pretty sure about $_ENV['_'] on *nix
systems.

another to consider is a simple installer which tries to
find the exe and on failure offers the user a prompt to say where it
is .. that info can then be stored for use at a later date.

I found these in $_ENV and $_SERVER, on Linux. I don't have handy access
to a working Windows installation, yet it needs to work on Windows as well.

If it really does exist on Windows, this might be the ticket, otherwise
a partial solution for Linux only.

That's at least something. If someone could confirm, that would be great.

I used the following command (at the command-line) to check the contents
of $_SERVER:

php -r 'print_r($_SERVER);'

Obviously, $_ENV can be checked similarly.

Unfortunately, I think it's not an option in my case. The sub-process I
run this way are way, way too big to include in the main process.  As
long as I was just running it on my own systems, it was easy to
hard-code the location of the PHP executable but now that it's being

The generalized answer to any question of this nature is:

If the answer you want isn't in  output, then the
answer you want probably isn't available.

In *my* installation:
which php
yields:
/usr/bin/php

Then:
php -i | grep "/usr/bin/php"
yields $_SERVER["_"] and $_ENV["_"]

No promise this works for any/all platforms, however.

PS For the 'locate' sub-thread -- You can't even guarantee that
'locate' will be available, much less initialized...  I don't think
it's a good solution, in general.

YMMV

have you tried looking for this info you want?
I can't say for sure if it always exists but on the few boxes
I tried I found and entry in both $_SERVER and $_ENV:

"_" => '/usr/bin/php'

but that was only on linux.
on windows (where my php cli install is a bit borked),
I didn't find it but I did find "PHPRC" which points to
the directory that the php executable lives in.

these maybe of some use.
then again what ever it is your trying to do with the php script
you seem to need to run inside another instance of php could probably
be run within the context of the calling script - if you run it inside
a function you can stop any kind of variable scope clashes (assuming there are
no symbol name clashes [e.g. duplicate functions/classes]):

function runit()
{
include 'myscript.php';
}

it's just a thought.

Thanks Jim (and others) for the suggestions. I think they will be helpful if 
there
isn't a way to do what I'm looking for:

Ideally, I would like to get the location of the PHP executable that is
actually executing the script. I'm thinking there would be some way to
find out while the script is executing. Something like:



Running it from the command line (again fiction):

$ /my-location-of/php myscript.php
/my-location-of/php
$

I was hoping there's a function or $_SERVER property that would contain
this?

Thanks again,

Mattias

What OS are you working with

Assuming you are on a *nix box this should work

#locate "/php" | grep "/php$"

this should give you locations that have /php as the end of the line


on windows you could do this

it probably defaults to the path configured at make time.
this also probably varies due to different opinions of both the dist and the 
makers camp.
but /usr/lib/  rather than /usr/share/  this is specific

I'm old.

In PHP 3.0, it would mess you up.

Particularly fun was the EMACS setting that automagically added a
newline for any text file you edited that didn't have one at the
end...

*THAT* sure caused a lot of "fun" on this list back in the day. :-)

Old habits die hard.

Plus, somewhere, I probably have a PHP 3.0 install still running on
some old box...  Not tied directly to the 'net nor in production, but
still... :-)

Regarding that last ?> in scripts, the PHP engine intentionally supports
it's omission so that you don't have to think about whether there's an
invisible trailing space after it.

You know the old saying, "You can't step in the same stream twice"?

Think about it.

Really think about it.

Now...

The data being sent to the browser from Apache/PHP is a stream.

Its raw output looks something like this:

---
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 19:52:44 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.34 (Unix) DAV/1.0.3 PHP/4.4.1 mod_ssl/2.8.25
OpenSSL/0.9.7d-p1
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.1
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html



Lynch Interplanetary Enterprises

.
.
.

---
Now, pay VERY close attention to that blank line right after the
Content-type: text/html
line.

That BLANK line marks the end of the "headers"

Everything above the blank line is in the "headers"
Everything below is the "body" of the HTTP, which is what the browser
shows you with "View Source"

Now, imagine all that output, headers and blank line and body,
streaming out from your server, like water from a garden hose.

There's a lot you can do to it before the water gets shot out the end
of the nozzle.

You could add a water heater and treat your lawn to a warm shower
instead of cold.

You could add a filtration system and give your lawn distilled water.

You could add a plant food system to give it yummy chemicals.

Buut

Once that water leaves the host, you don't have a lot of control over it.

It's gone.

Beyond re-calling.

In the same way, once PHP sends the BLANK LINE to denote the end of
headers, you can't send more headers.

This works:

---
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 19:52:44 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.34 (Unix) DAV/1.0.3 PHP/4.4.1 mod_ssl/2.8.25

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.1

Content-Type: text/html
Location: mypage.php

This can NOT work:

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.1
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html


Location: mypage.php

Lynch Interplanetary Enterprises

.
.
.

---

Look carefully for the position of the line
Location: mypage.php

See the difference?

If you try to call the header() function AFTER some content has been
sent, then you get the error message.

Move the header() line earlier in your PHP code, and it will work fine.

PS
Blank lines and spaces COUNT as "output".

So this:
 
will NOT work because that space "counts"

This will work:


Similarly, watch out for BLANK LINES after the last ?> in your files.

They will trip you up for header()

If you look at the error message it tells you exactly what line the
headers were sent at.

I'm to tired to explain what do do once you find that hopefully
you'll see the problem.

Check out 'headers_sent', you can choose how to redirect ('header' or
JavaScript) depending on whether you have sent the headers or not.

So what's the answer? REMOVE THE ELSE. If you want it to run the code
following the redirect code in the same script if it's not using those
request params or in https mode, do:

if ($option == 'content' and $task == 'view' and $id == 159 and
$Itemid == 162) {
 if(isset($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
   header('Location: https://computing.eng.iastate.edu/mambo/index.php'.
 '?option=content&task=view&id=159&Itemid=162');
 }
}

As simple as that. If that's not the answer, you're asking the wrong question.

RE: [PHP] Location header does not work?

[Ed Lazor]

I sent Bing specific code that will work:

If (!IsSet($_SERVER["HTTPS"]))
Header("Location:  https://"; . $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] .
$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);


Manually go to the URL specified.  

https://computing.eng.iastate.edu/mambo/index.php?option=content&task=view&i
d=159&Itemid=162

It doesn't work.  It will work if you remove all of the parameters and it
will work if you specify only a few of the parameters.  Basically, there is
a problem with the "mambo" application handling input.

Bing persists in troubleshooting the redirect when the focus should be on
mambo.

Right, you're obviously not getting this, so let's take it step by step.

(1) Your browser requests
https://computing.eng.iastate.edu/mambo/index.php?option=content&task=view&i
d=159&Itemid=162

(2) This fires the script /mambo/index.php on your server.

(3) Script finds all conditions in the first if() are met, so tests
$_SERVER['HTTPS'].

(4) ... finding it is not set, it issues a Location: redirect to
https://computing.eng.iastate.edu/mambo/index.php?option=content&task=view&i
d=159&Itemid=162

(5) Browser sees the redirect, and issues a new request for
https://computing.eng.iastate.edu/mambo/index.php?option=content&task=view&i
d=159&Itemid=162; at this point, it also changes the URL displayed in its
address bar.

(6) This seems to be where you are confused -- WHICH PAGE DO YOU THINK THIS
IS GOING TO LOAD?





(6a) Server sees new request, this time via https, to exactly the same
script as before, so fires the script /mambo/index.php again.

(7) See (3).

(8) This time it finds $_SERVER['HTTPS'] is set (or =='on', depending), and
echos 'You are in HTTPS mode'.

(9) QED

Which step isn't what you were expecting?

Cheers!

Re: [PHP] Location header does not work?

[Bing Du]

I really appreciate everyone who responded taking your valuable time
looking into my problem.

Now back to my problem.  Changing the condition to "if($_SERVER['HTTPS']
!= 'on')" did not make any difference unfortunately. So the result was
still the URL in the Address box of the browser changed to
https://computing.eng.iastate.edu/mambo/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=159&Itemid=162
fine.  But instead of showing the page that https address should point to,
'You are in HTTPS mode' was displayed as the else clause specified.

Careful, IIRC the value of $_SERVER['HTTPS'] differs depending on websever. 
The original isset() is the better way.

Bing, IIRC you're redirecting back to the same page weren't you?

Your logic states if not in HTTPS redirect to HTTPS, otherwise (if in HTTPS) 
echo.

Re: [PHP] Location header does not work?

[Bing Du]

Ok, now I'm confused and cannot understand the result of the following
code snippet.  After click the link that I want to redirect, the URL in
the Address box of the browser changed from http to https fine (that's
what I expected).  But 'hello my friend' was also displayed.  How come?

=
if ($option == 'content' and $task == 'view' and $id == 159 and $Itemid ==
162)
{
   session_write_close();

   if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']))
   {
header("Location:
https://computing.eng.iastate.edu/mambo/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=159&Itemid=162";);
   } else {
 echo 'hello my friend';
  }

Also, FWIW, you're supposed to also change the HTTP response code
to one that explains the reason for the redirect. Some server setups
will throw a 500 Server Error if you use just Location. So add the
following before any other header output:

header($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'].' 302 Found');

The HTTP RFC offers various 3xx response codes and you should make
the effort of using the appropriate one. Other often useful responses
are "301 Moved Permanently" and "303 See Other". The actual text
doesn't matter but the code does.

Your page is redirecting you over and over again. Your problem is that
you're not checking for https before you redirect! If the user comes
in with the https URL, you're still redirecting them. Try checking the
value of $_SERVER['HTTPS'].

Re: [PHP] Location header does not work?

[Monty]

Do you have a valid and functioning SSL certificate on the IP that points to
your "iastate.edu" domain?

Have you tried deleting all sites cookies and auto-login passwords that your
browser stores, then retrying?

Are you using pop-up blocker software?

Does this happen on ALL browsers, or just Netscape?

Looks correct to me. Are you meeting all the requirements for that if
statement? You have a lot of and's there.

For testing you could try:

if ($option == 'content' and $task == 'view' and $id == 159 and $Itemid ==
162) {
echo "It works! Yay me! Gimme a cookie, dammit!";
}

If you don't get that echo statement, then you should look into your if
statement.

It'd be helpful to see the rest of the code snippet.  But it kinda looks
as if it should be:

How does that not generate a parse error? I must be missing something.

It seems to me that either a dollar sign is missing, or the line is
intended to define a constant (although I prefer my constants to be
uppercase), in which case the wrong syntax is being used.
What version of PHP are you using that does not generate a parse error?

Location is an HTTP header. If that name is being used in any code for
some other reason, then the name may be purely coincidental. However, if
it is the header you are speaking of, then it is specified using:
header('Location: http://example.org/path/to/script.php');

Of particular note is that the URL is an absolute URL, not a relative one.
This is in the snippet of the specification that I quoted earlier.
Hope that helps.

Hmm.. Never seen that before and the only time I've seen variables
without a $ is for a constant, but then again I don't think you can set
a constant dynamically, i.e. "constant = "value";" (hence the name
constant).

If you're not already doing it, posting the code would be good.

$location = "page.php"; is nothing more than a value being assigned to a
variable. that variable needs to be used somewhere (or else it'd just be
a waste of resources). the most likely situation is what people have

The HTTP header itself is defined in RFC 2616 in section 14.30:

--
14.30 Location

   The Location response-header field is used to redirect the recipient
   to a location other than the Request-URI for completion of the
   request or identification of a new resource. For 201 (Created)
   responses, the Location is that of the new resource which was created
   by the request. For 3xx responses, the location SHOULD indicate the
   server's preferred URI for automatic redirection to the resource. The
   field value consists of a single absolute URI.

   Location   = "Location" ":" absoluteURI

   An example is:

   Location: http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/People.html

  Note: The Content-Location header field (section 14.14) differs
  from Location in that the Content-Location identifies the original
  location of the entity enclosed in the request. It is therefore
  possible for a response to contain header fields for both Location
  and Content-Location. Also see section 13.10 for cache
  requirements of some methods.
--

PHP can send HTTP headers using the header() function:

http://www.php.net/header

Hope that helps.

Actually, that *IS* the problem.  This is a bug in the way that IIS
handles CGI-generated headers, and is detailed in knowledgebase
article Q176113.

It seems that if a "Location: " header is sent from a CGI program, IIS
will ignore any other headers that come with it.  So you cannot by
default set a cookie and redirect on the same page.

The workaround is to rename the script so that it begins with "nph-".
(I'm serious).  This stands for "non-parsed headers mode" and it tells
IIS to leave the headers alone.  Then you have to generate the headers
manually rather than using the setcookie() function built into IIS.

I had this exact same problem on a script that I was working on.  In
my script I was attempting to set a cookie and then redirect the
browser upon successful authentication.  When I discovered that this
does not work with IIS + PHP (cgi mode) I moved the login and logout
functionality to seperate files called nph-authenticate.php and
nph-logout.php, and I generate the headers manually, like so:

header("HTTP/1.0 302 Redirect");
header("Location: $location");
header("Set-Cookie: mid=$mid");

Hi Kurth, and others

I adjusted your code for the purpose of my site (replacing he values in
the array and the homepage address, etc) ... but when I plugged it into
a page for testing; i got the following results:

Location : Home / 
Warning: Undefined variable: link in visitheadnav-1.inc on line 70
Besucher / 
Warning: Undefined index: support.php3 in visitheadnav-1.inc on line 68
Warning: Undefined variable: title in visitheadnav-1.inc on line 73

The code is part of an include file named "visitheadnav-1.inc" ... and
apparently there is some "link" there in the code which is "an
undefined variable" ... but I have no idea what this error message is
about  :-(The results "Home/" and "Besucher/" are actually correct
... it's just the "undefined link" problem I need to get figured out
... Here's the code I inserted into my visitheadnav-1.inc:

  'info' => 'Information',
  'bibel' => 'Bibelarbeit',
  'bibliothek' => 'Bibliothek',
  'gebet' => 'Gebetsraum',
  'links' => 'Internet Links',
  'kids' => 'Kinderecke',
  'shop' => 'Bookshop'
  );

 $linkdes = $dirs[$patharray[$dirsi]];
 $link = $link . "/$patharray[$dirsi]";
 if ($patharray[$dirsi] == $scriptname){
 $linkdes = $title;
 $slash = "";
 $linkhtml = "$linkdes$slash";
 if ($patharray[$dirsi] ==

 $linkdes = "";
 $slash = "";
 $linkhtml = "";
 }
 }else{
 $slash = " / ";
 $linkhtml = "$linkdes$slash";
 }
echo $linkhtml;

Any ideas, what may be wrong and causing these error messages?

RE: [PHP] "location bar"

[Maxim Maletsky]

if you're asking on how to show where you are, then this is what you could
do:

Create an array of page names:

ie:

$page_name = Array(

'/' => 'Home',
'/page1' => 'Page One'

);

... and so on

Then just do 

echo $page_name[strtolower($PHP_SELF)];

This is only appropriate for small static sites, and is not really a
solution. try to extend this idea, with maybe use of databases and go ahead.

Also, look for such scripts. Tons of code was written already and some
module like this, I think, you can easily find.

RE: [PHP] Location

[PHPBeginner.com]

You need to have an array or db with file and description

in ca you use array :

$location = Array(
  '/index.php' => 'HOME',
  '/prod_info.php' => 'Product Information',
  ..etc

);

and then

if(isset($location[$PHP_SELF]))
echo $location[$PHP_SELF];


and so on ...

note: this is just a quick and dirty idea on how to do that, with a little
bit of logic you can write a very sweet function with does what you need.

A simple solution for a site with a small number of pages would be to create
an array like the following:

$location['/index.php'] = "Home";
$location['/services.php'] = "Services";
$location['/products.php'] = "Products";

Then use $SCRIPT_URL or a similar environment variable to display the proper
label in the "location bar".



If you have a large number of pages (especially dynamically generated
"virtual" pages) or sublevels to your site you'll probably want to use a
more advanced solution.

RE: [PHP] location

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

you could possibly store the name/password as cookies, so 
that they're available to the PHP script without the user having
to type them in more than once per session (or even longer
if you set the expire date properly)
i know that cookies are horribly insecure, but for purposes
of a very simple validation routine, cookies are sufficient)

if ( !validate_user($ck_name,$ck_pw) ) {
  print "you are not logged in, please go log in";
}
else {
  print "you are logged in";
}


function validate_user($ck_name, $ck_pw) {
  //make whatever calls you need to the database
  //to see if this name/pw combination are valid.
  //return 1 if good, return 0 if bad
}

Re: [PHP] location

[jaskirat]

make a function which validates users.

Then where ever you want to restrict access just call that function before
other things .. and it will
do the trick where ever you need .. no if statements needed.
