Not entirely sure what you're asking here, or how you (or the
nginx folks) expect it to relate to PHP. Do you mean that you want to
use PHP to have theme2.php act as if it was called as theme.php?id=2 ?
I have me write a blog, but my blog has link like blogdetail.html?id=1 or =2
through 16 at moment. And for google and other Search Engines not good the
links, better where i can rewrite to a fix link, and when someone use the
link, php write to correct url.
Common SEO mythology is that you need pretty human-understandable
links. (In point of fact, the search engines care not in the least.)
However, human-understandable URLs are a benefit to users when they want
to understand what they're linking to or clicking on.
A human-understandable link is more like:
http://www.example.com/blog/2013-05-a-day-in-the-life-of-my-dog
not:
http://www.example.com/blog/2
as that really does not provide any more information than:
http://www.example.com/blog.php?id=2
Otherwise, Daniel's solution below should do the trick.
Sorry my english not perfect on earth.
If so, it's not redirect or rewrite, and it's extremely hacky, but
this is the only real way PHP could achieve the desired result:
?php
// dynamictheme.php
if (preg_match('/.*([0-9]+)\.php/Ui',$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],$match)) {
$_GET['id'] = $match[1];
include dirname(__FILE__).'/theme.php';
}
?
Then just symlink dynamictheme.php to your various themes like so:
ln -s dynamictheme.php theme2.php
ln -s dynamictheme.php theme301.php
ln -s dynamictheme.php theme18447.php

Re: [PHP] URL injection
https://www.xxx.co.uk/register.php;| grep 123 I wonder what kind of browser could make this, probably a hacker-made one! This URL will have to be translated into its equivalent URI, if using GET the HTTP message's start line would look like: GET /register.php| grep 123 HTTP/1.1 First of all, the HTTP protocol states that the start line should contain: METHOD one or more spaces URI one or more spaces HTTP/1.1 So, this is clearly violated as there are two spaces surrounding grep, i believe if the server has trouble with this request, it's not yet at the PHP level... it's an HTTP issue, clearly server related. You wont detect this with PHP, and if you do detect anything, it means your server has modified it so you could... for example, in this case it might convert the whole | grep 123 into a single get argument's name, it could be simply removed/ignored, the server could try to see if there is a file named `/register.php| grep 123` and returns a 404... but the only acceptable behavior in this case is for the server to return 400 (read http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.1).

Hi,
As far as I can follow, this looks much like a 404 redirect trick which
captures all not found files/paths. Based on the extension, you can
still do fun or cool stuff and get more control about virtual paths etc.
As always: TIMTOWTDI, so I'm gonna play with this .htaccess rule and see
if this is better than a 404 handler.

Yeap, PHP rocks! I mentioned it in the first reply, only that it was not
rental.php, but index.php. Many if not all MVC frameworks support this kind of
routing which doesn't require mod_rewrite.
However, I prefer mod_rewrite if it's available, for crawlers it is not the same
/index.php/my-keywrod than /my-keyword alone. But I must admit that there are a
hundred other factors that can have much more weight for generating SEO problems
than having index.php everywhere.

On IIS I belive the default document is default.htm Though you should be
able to modify this to whatever you please. On Apache it is index.html
or index.php (for example). Regardless you want this to be parsed by
PHP, and then you can stick the following in it:
?php
header('http://www.example.com/login.php');
?
Place this file in your login directory and then you'll be able to
publish URLs such as http://www.example.com/login The trailing slash is
not necessary if login is a directory. For example:
http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk/demo
To use url's like http://domain.com/login/ as opposed to
http://domain.com/login.php you can take multiple approaches.
The first and simplest is to simply save your login.php as /login/index.php
to use this approach you need to ensure that index.php is listed as a
default page.
In IIS you can set the default page(s) to be whatever you like:
- Open IIS Manager
- Server - Websites - Right Click [properties]
- select Documents tab
- ensure Enable default content page is ticked
- ensure index.php is listed
- if not then click [add] and enter index.php
- continue to add any other default pages [index.html, index.shtml etc]
The second common solution [and I'd advise to get used to it asap] is to
use URL rewriting.
In short url rewriting involves defining rules which the web server
uses to direct http requests to resources on the server.
eg: direct domain.com/all_our_news to /index.php?newsitem=all
a quick intro guide can be found here:
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/guide-url-rewriting
For URL rewriting in IIS use ISAPI Rewrite - http://www.isapirewrite.com/
in apache use mod_rewrite
[apache1.3] httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html
[apache2.0] httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html
Both are pretty much identical when it comes to the end rewrite rules.
Hope that helps a little

/rental/property/23425 to: /index.php?mod=propertysection=rentalspropertyid=23425 Thinking about this a little, you still don't need mod_rewrite. rental could be a PHP script, forced through PHP with: Files rental ForceType application/x-httpd-php /Files In either a .htaccess file or, if performance is an absolute necessity, your httpd.conf file (ie .htaccess files are turned off). In your rental PHP script you simply look at the REQUEST_URI $_SERVER variable to determine the correct data to show.

How does this:
/\.cfm$/
take into account that?
$ in regex's means 'end of string' - so it will only match .cfm at the
very end of the string.
Indeed, so how does the regex take into account .cfm.php? It doesn't.
If it doesn't have a .cfm extension, it won't match.
because the question was I want to replace the extension '.cfm' with
'-meta.cfm',
which I assumed meant the OP didn't want 'my.cfm.php' to become
'my-meta.cfm.php'
and a str_replace('.cfm', '-meta.cfm', $foo) would not be correct in that
situation.
hopefully now the use of preg_replace() in my example makes sense.
oh and I forget to add delimeters to the regexps in my examples, which was a
stupid
oversight.

You don't need the overhead of PCRE, though it is the fastest to write,
since it's already above for you...
Or parse_url(). basename(__FILE__) will get you the filename.

Not as far as I can tell...
You can call stream_set_blocking after it's open, but that doesn't
help a slow connection in the first place.
Or creation of context-based connections
(for which you can use stream_set_blocking).
Unless I'm seriously mis-reading docs, stream_set_blocking can only be
called on an already-open stream, not on the soon-to-be-opened stream.
fopen() in PHP5 does take a context, and if I could figure out how to
embed the concepts of do not block and timeout in $x seconds
within a context from the docs, and if fopen() would still handle all
the details of the various protocols, I'd be all set...
That's sort of what I was asking for in the original email, but...
It seems like you have to specify the 'scheme' as the key in the
context array.
So, I guess, I could, in theory, find a listing of all the schemes
fopen() supports, which might even be in a function, iterate over all
of those, and do something like:
$schemes = function_that_returns_all_schemes_fopen_supports();
$opts = array();
foreach($schemes as $scheme){
$opts[$scheme]['some_magic_undocumented_thing'] =
STREAM_CLIENT_ASYNC_CONNECT | STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT ;
}
$foo = fopen($url, 'r', false, $opts);
if ($foo == false) $errors[] = $url timed out;
Only problem is, these constants are documented ONLY to work with:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-socket-client.php
and that pretty clearly is working at a much lower-level than fopen
(and friends) as the very first example shows using TCP as a protocol,
and then you have to send the GET and any other headers, which is
exactly what I'm trying to avoid having to re-code in the first place.
So I'm back to square one, as far as I can see from the docs...
It's possible (still) that I'm just mis-reading docs, or am
continually skipping over the one new page in 'streams' that is making
everybody think this should be so simple, but I don't think so, since
I've read EVERY page in the new streams section several times now.
I'm not claiming 100% comprehension of every implication on every
page, mind you :-)
If so, you could take a
stamp of the current time plus a timeout value, make the fopen call
(which would return immediately) then wait politely (I mean that
from a CPU perspective) in a loop until you have data, or the
current time goes past your time stamp.
Yes -- if I could compose a stream_context doohickey that convinced
fopen() to use a time-out...
Another avenue for investigation might be to try file_get_contents
to see if it's connection timeout can be controlled. It seems to
work in a similar way to fopen, in terms of having wrappers that are
aware of multiple resource types.
file_get_contents() seems to suffer from the exact same limitations of
file()
I get the simplicity of fopen() with no control over connection timeout.
Maybe there is some underlying voodoo going on in the PHP internals
that some makes it crystal-clear why that has to be, but to this naive
user, if fsockopen can have a timeout, fopen and friends out to be
able to also, at least for schemes that support such a thing.
Obviously SOME kind of timeout is involved somewhere in fopen()
because it WILL timeout on some sites sometimes, even though
experimentation has shown that had it waited, it would have gotten
data eventually.
It might also be worth taking a look at cURL or similar libraries
that are also multi-resource aware, but give you greater control of
connections parameters and timeouts.
Maybe I've been mis-using cURL all these years, but it doesn't seem to
be anywhere near as simple as the mythical function I've described,
and really not much better than a giant switch for fsockopen to
duplicate all that code that's gotta be down in the guts of fopen (and
friends)

Richard, have you seen this:

This bug goes back to June 2000. And it's closed even though it is
clearly not fixed. Doesn't seem like they'll get to it anytime soon.
You might have to do it the long way, building your own protocol
handlers. Or, you might want to look into a 3rd party library, or a
command line option like lynx -dump -connect_timeout=n uri which
is multi-resource aware.
The comment in that bug report, and similar comments all over the 'net
by PHP Dev Team, are what led me on this quest in the first place...
Alas, the reality falls far short of what I had hoped was promised.
I *CAN* control the timeout, if I'm wiling to re-invent the wheel and
duplicate a ton of code that's built into fopen.
I *THOUGHT* from the comments that the new streams would have
something like fopen, with a configurable timeout, but with the
streams library handling all the minutia of different protocols.
As far as I can find, that's not the case.
Here is a crude version of what I would like to be able to type:
$url = 'https://example.com';
$stream_context = array('connection_timeout'=4', 'url'=$url);
$stream = new stream($stream_context);
if ($stream === false) die(Connection timed out.);
stream_set_blocking($stream, false);
$start = time();
//Never ask the user to wait more than 5 seconds for a web page:
$data = '';
while ((time() = $start + 5) !feof($stream)){
$data .= fread($stream, 2048);
}
if (!feof($stream)){
//load obsolete data from cache, rather than incomplete data we just
got:
$data = load_cache($url);
}
Instead, I have to know the ins and outs of all the different
protocols to even begin to use the new streams stuff.

The examples of HTTP and FTP are all very nice, but I'd have to code for SSL and files and all manner of other protocols to come anywhere close to the functionality of fopen. Alas, with fopen, there is no control over connection timeout. Everybody experienced in PHP keeps talking about the new streams stuff as if it's a Magic Bullet that will make this all better. It's not. It adds layer upon layer of complication to application code, and I'm sure it's wondeful if one wants the fine-grained control over a zillion things I don't understand, and I don't WANT to understand -- at leat not at the expense it would take to gain an understanding necessary to use stream-contexts. What 99% of developers want, however, is to ignore all the gory details of all the different schemes and protocols, and get their data. $file = fopen($any_url_in_any_protocol); A large proportion of those developers also want to have a site that does not seem slow if it's stuck waiting for some resource. So they want fopen() to have a developer-configurable timeout. Does not exist. The only way you can get developer-configurable timeout is to use fsockopen or the new stream-context stuff, both of which require a Ph.D. in eleventeen different scheme/protocol technologies to get the kind of functionality you get with fopen. I hope I'm making sense here, and clearly laying out the issue, because apparently it hasn't gotten through to most readers in previous messages. Currently in PHP you have two options: Use fopen, keep life simple, but have an infinitely slow response when your application depends on a dodgy remote server over which you have no control. Use fsockopen or streams and spend the next 4 years coding your application to understand all the ins and outs of protocols you really don't WANT to understand the details of that should be a black box to your application. Do you REALLY want to try to figure out what kind of an array you need to build and what data you have to send/recieve/parse and act upon to get an HTTPS feed? With fopen() it's just taken care of. With stream-context, you're going to have to actually understand all that SSL stuff before you can get your data. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

er you can if allow_url_fopen ini setting is set to 1 (can't you?)
$fh = fopen('http://php.net/');
for other kinds of streams (e.g. ftp?) you can write a userland
wrapper and register it so that you can use those kinds (e.g. ftp)
of urls with fopen et al:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-wrapper-register.php
And let PHP figure out how to create a stream context out of that, and
which port to use, and how to do the GET to start things off, so I can
just read my data.
In other words, I'm greedy, and I want *BOTH* the simplicity of
fopen() *and* the flexiblity of adding filters and all the fun new
stuff.
well the manual (http://php.net/fopen) says:
$handle = fopen(/home/rasmus/file.txt, r);
$handle = fopen(/home/rasmus/file.gif, wb);
$handle = fopen(http://www.example.com/;, r);
$handle = fopen(ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/somefile.txt, w);
I don't want to have to tear apart the URL myself and mess with
sending 'GET ...' and 'host: ...'
Did I miss a stream_url_to_context() function somewhere?...
Not just parse_url() -- That will tear apart the URL, but then I have
to do all the work that's buried in fopen()
Bigger Picture:
I have an old class that will take an array of HTTP URLs, and
fsockopen them, set them non-blocking, and then fread() each in turn,
and gather an array of results.
The class has a 'timeout' parameter that limits how long it will wait
for all this to happen.
Each result set is marked as complete or incomplete.
Complete results may be cached, for however long you choose in another
setting.
If results are incomplete, the cached version is used, no matter how
obsolete. (This is for a search engine.)
Blah, blah, blah.
Anyway, I'd *LIKE* to be able to just allow *ANY* URL to be passed in,
and have some nifty stream function, not unlike fopen(), that will
take care of the grotty details of doing whatever it takes to get the
data, but let me set the socket non-blocking and read them
asynchronously.
I feel like I must be missing something fundamentally simple here in
all this stream stuff, but it's sure not obvious what I'm missing in
the docs.
and maybe I'm completely misunderstanding you ;-/

Re: [PHP] URL - stream context
3 suggestions:
I honestly have no idea if this would work, but maybe fopen supports
non-blocking connections? Or creation of context-based connections
(for which you can use stream_set_blocking). If so, you could take a
stamp of the current time plus a timeout value, make the fopen call
(which would return immediately) then wait politely (I mean that
from a CPU perspective) in a loop until you have data, or the
current time goes past your time stamp.
Another avenue for investigation might be to try file_get_contents
to see if it's connection timeout can be controlled. It seems to
work in a similar way to fopen, in terms of having wrappers that are
aware of multiple resource types.
It might also be worth taking a look at cURL or similar libraries
that are also multi-resource aware, but give you greater control of
connections parameters and timeouts.

Not as far as I can tell...
You can call stream_set_blocking after it's open, but that doesn't
help a slow connection in the first place.
Or creation of context-based connections
(for which you can use stream_set_blocking).
Unless I'm seriously mis-reading docs, stream_set_blocking can only be
called on an already-open stream, not on the soon-to-be-opened stream.
fopen() in PHP5 does take a context, and if I could figure out how to
embed the concepts of do not block and timeout in $x seconds
within a context from the docs, and if fopen() would still handle all
the details of the various protocols, I'd be all set...
That's sort of what I was asking for in the original email, but...
It seems like you have to specify the 'scheme' as the key in the
context array.
So, I guess, I could, in theory, find a listing of all the schemes
fopen() supports, which might even be in a function, iterate over all
of those, and do something like:
$schemes = function_that_returns_all_schemes_fopen_supports();
$opts = array();
foreach($schemes as $scheme){
$opts[$scheme]['some_magic_undocumented_thing'] =
STREAM_CLIENT_ASYNC_CONNECT | STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT ;
}
$foo = fopen($url, 'r', false, $opts);
if ($foo == false) $errors[] = $url timed out;
Only problem is, these constants are documented ONLY to work with:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-socket-client.php
and that pretty clearly is working at a much lower-level than fopen
(and friends) as the very first example shows using TCP as a protocol,
and then you have to send the GET and any other headers, which is
exactly what I'm trying to avoid having to re-code in the first place.
So I'm back to square one, as far as I can see from the docs...
It's possible (still) that I'm just mis-reading docs, or am
continually skipping over the one new page in 'streams' that is making
everybody think this should be so simple, but I don't think so, since
I've read EVERY page in the new streams section several times now.
I'm not claiming 100% comprehension of every implication on every
page, mind you :-)

to see if it's connection timeout can be controlled. It seems to
work in a similar way to fopen, in terms of having wrappers that are

file_get_contents() seems to suffer from the exact same limitations of
file()
I get the simplicity of fopen() with no control over connection timeout.
Maybe there is some underlying voodoo going on in the PHP internals
that some makes it crystal-clear why that has to be, but to this naive
user, if fsockopen can have a timeout, fopen and friends out to be
able to also, at least for schemes that support such a thing.
Obviously SOME kind of timeout is involved somewhere in fopen()
because it WILL timeout on some sites sometimes, even though
experimentation has shown that had it waited, it would have gotten
data eventually.

Maybe I've been mis-using cURL all these years, but it doesn't seem to

Re: [PHP] URL - stream context
Richard, have you seen this:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=5153edit=1
This bug goes back to June 2000. And it's closed even though it is
clearly not fixed. Doesn't seem like they'll get to it anytime soon.
You might have to do it the long way, building your own protocol
handlers. Or, you might want to look into a 3rd party library, or a
command line option like lynx -dump -connect_timeout=n uri which
is multi-resource aware.

Re: [PHP] URL Referral Tracking with AIM
Havn't done it myself, but why not try pasting a link in IM and have it go to a php script that does a var_dump (or print_r) of $_SERVER. Think that's where the referrer data is.

Some IM's, like AIM, allow you to put in variables though, like %s I think it is for 'screenname' in AIM so if you hand out a URL like http://www.domain.com/script.php?aim=%s as long as the %s part is pasted each time, it MAY substitute that person's screen name. If it's sent to me and I see: http://www.domain.com/script.php?aim=tgryffyn then copy/paste that (with the tgryffyn instead of %s) then obviously other people using it will get logged as me, and not them.

Unfortunately, since this is going to spawn an instance of IE or Firefox or something to actually load the page, you'll most likely get the info from the browser with zero info regarding the app (AIM, Yahoo, etc) that it spawned from. Some IM's, like AIM, allow you to put in variables though, like %s I think it is for 'screenname' in AIM so if you hand out a URL like http://www.domain.com/script.php?aim=%s as long as the %s part is pasted each time, it MAY substitute that person's screen name. If it's sent to me and I see: http://www.domain.com/script.php? aim=tgryffyn then copy/paste that (with the tgryffyn instead of % s) then obviously other people using it will get logged as me, and not them. Just some quick thoughts off the top of my head. Let us know if you come up with anything good and I'll write later if I get a chance to play with this. -TG = = = Original message = = = I know that referrer is an ENV variable carried by web browsers but I am wondering if any of you guru's have figured out a way to track any referrer al information from a link pasted into an instant messenger (AIM) window.

This should be pretty simple but I cant find any info on it at the
site. I am writing a function that will create a anchor, but I want it
to call the same page it is on. Is there a way to get the current php
page I am on so that when I output my anchor for that correct page.
so if I call it from index.php the link will say:
index.php?var=data
but if I can the same function from say photos.php then the link would be:
photos.php?var=data..
It's pretty rare that you REALLY want to blindly copy ALL $_GET arguments,
but you can:
$get = '';
reset($_GET);
while (list($k, $v) = each($_GET)){
$get .= k= . urlencode($v);
}
$get[0] = '?';
But you should *PROBABLY* be checking for specific values in $_GET, making
sure they are clean and passing on only those values.
$kosher = '[^A-Za-z0-9\'\\. ,-]';
$name = $_GET['name'];
$zip = $_GET['zip'];
$zip = (int) $zip; //Assuming only 5-digit zip code will ever be used in
this application
$zip = sprintf(%05s, $zip);
$name = preg_replace($kosher, '', $name);
$url = ?name= . urlencode($name) . zip=$zip;

This ought to do it. Try it and see.
But be aware that if the allow_url_fopen was not enable at the compile
time, this won't work.

Re: [PHP] URL file-access disabled
$image_dir is an url (begins with http:// or similar) and
allow_url_fopen is off on your BSD.
Do you need to access it using url wrappers? If the images are local you
can access them using plain filesystem access
