hello,
I send a secure cookie an it should be available as varible
setcookie("pbas_usr", $row[usr], time()+600, "", "", 1);
but the varable is empty. If it send the header without secure flag the
cookie works well
setcookie("pbas_usr", $row[usr], time()+600);
Is there a special way to read out secure cookies?
THX,
Alex

Is your script running under https?
From the docs (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php):
"secure" indicates that the cookie should only be transmitted over a secure
HTTPS connection. When set to 1, the cookie will only be set if a secure
connection exists. The default is 0.
Sorry if I'm OT here but you didn't mention https in your posting.

Hello,
I have a DBF database with some ASCII characters like ALT+154 (Ü) etc.
I read out the database but instead of an Ü i get an s.
Tried out charsetconverting from/to ASCII, UTF-8/7 and ISO, but nothing gave
me the rigth letter.
Anybody an idea?

somehow when I have try to develop an application where I read five or six
values into an individual arrays the array who carries the emails has the
email and an additional empty field after the email somehow complex well
they way the information has been stored is that the email was the last
value in the line of arrays and somehow carries always an empty field or the
tab field I can see when I upload the data in binary mode however I tried
around for some time
how do remove an empty space in an erray I tried arround with
$E2= str_replace(" ", "", $Email);
and I tried as well
$E2= str_replace(" ", "", $Email); with no success it totally ignored
the empty space in the email what is stored in this
way:|data1|data2|[EMAIL PROTECTED] |data3|etc...|||||||. when I phrased
the data file
any help and advice would be appreciated...

hi all,
i have problems getting fopen() and fsockopen() to work over https..
here is the problem..
from the phpinfo:
OpenSSL support enabled
OpenSSL Version OpenSSL 0.9.6h 5 Dec 2002
from php -m
# php -m
[PHP Modules]
ctype
mysql
openssl
overload
pcre
posix
session
standard
tokenizer
xml
[Zend Modules]
from the Appendix I regarding fopen() on php.net:
Note: HTTPS is supported starting from PHP 4.3, if you have compiled in
support for OpenSSL.
and from the documentation on fsockopen() on php.net:
As of PHP 4.3.0, if you have compiled in OpenSSL support, you may prefix
the hostname with either 'ssl://' or 'tls://' to use an SSL or TLS client
connection over TCP/IP to connect to the remote host.
in a test file i have two lines of code like this:
$file = "https://someurl.com";;
if (!($fp = fopen($file, "r")))
this produces an error but it doesn't point to any problem - like this:
Warning: fopen(https://someurl.com.......... in /path/to/file.php on line
45
if i change $file to "http://someurl.com"; it works fine...
with fsockopen() the situation is kinda the same. code:
$fp=fsockopen("ssl://www.foo.com", 443);
error:
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: no SSL support in this build in
/path/to/file/...
if i pul out the ssl:// part it works fine...
now, i did read the posts on this list about curl. why curl isn't
mentioned anywhere in the documentation for fopen() and fsockopen() if
it's needed for those functions?
why would i need curl compiled in php if i already have openssl compiled with
it?
the machine i'm using is a freeBSD 4.6 box with apache 1.3.27 and OpenSSL
0.9.6h, php is 4.3.1...
i did similar posts on other php lists but everybody's quite..
thanks

part 2:
-----------
got curl 7.10.3 (latest version)...
recompiled php 4.3.1 with curl. no errors. shows up fine on phpinfo...
testing with:
$ch = curl_init ("http://moo.org";);
$fp = fopen("http://moo.org/index.html";, "r");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets ($fp,128);
}
fclose ($fp);
the file i get back is not the whole file. it comes from the middle or so
down. i need this to retrieve xml files through https. tried one of those
files without https - just http - got the last part of the file back. it
cuts off somewhere......
i was really happy with fopen() and fsockopen() until the https came up...
i've been stuck on this for the last 2 days and i really need some kind of
solution... it's very frustrating that neither of those 3 options in php
work as expected or documented with the openssl options.....
i tested curl on the command line and it works fine. no cut offs of
documents anywhere....
please help!!!!!!!!...
is there any bugs known anywhere between curl 7.10.3 + php 4.3.1 on
freeBSD 4.6?

Hello all.
rather dumb question.
I have a pagination system, 25 results per page, which are user comments, I
want to put a number on each comment so i am doing something like:
$num=$num + 1;
$number = $num;
echo $number;
But when i switch to the next 25 results it starts counting from 1 again,
LoL.
So i have to use $_GET right? If so can someone give me an example.
Thanks in advanced.
cheers,
- Sebastian

Use $num as a global value across all pages, through GET, and use $i for a
per-script counter. Increase both in a loop, add some navigation, and
you're all set...
This should be a starting point...
<?
$total_num = 137;
$per_page = 25;
// find value of $num, or start from zero
if(isset($_GET['num'])) { $num = $_GET['num']; } else { $num = 0; }
$i = 0;
while( ($i < $per_page) && ($num < 137) )
{
// increase "global" counter
$num++;
// increase "local" counter
$i++;
// do something here 25 times
echo "{$i} - {$num} <br />";
}
$last = $_GET['num'] - $per_page;
if($num > $per_page) {
echo "<a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?num={$last}'>last {$per_page}</a>";
echo " | ";
}
if($num < $total_num) {
echo "<a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?num={$num}'>next {$per_page}</a>";
}
?>
Cheers,

I need to make some PHP Executables which needs root permissions to run. I currently
use SetUID Perl scripts for the purpose and they works fine. But now i feel PHP would
be better language for the purpose so i want to switch it to PHP. Can any one tell me
how can i make setUID PHP scripts ?

How Do, All?
Here's one unsuccessful attempt to add each $val during a for:
<?
for ($z = 0;$z < count($val);$z++)
{
$v = $val + $val;
}
print 'Total?: '.$v.'<br>';
?>
Conversely I need to isolate certain elements oof a foreach:
<?
foreach($var as $v){
if ($v != 'argument')
{
//add all the $v's for a total
}
?>
Thank you!

hi
i've made a small php site that is searching against french documents stored
in a mysql database.
when it comes to rendering search results, the client has asked if the words
that were searched for can be highlighted.
"no problem!" i thought. just do a regexp replace and wrap a <b> tag around
the matching terms. then i realised that the following would not produce
a match:
$string = "Françoise";
echo preg_match("/francoise/i",$string);
so my question.... since mysql managed to produce a match here, is there
perhaps a php regexp modifier that (maybe) knows how to make this match?
thanks

3. However, this creates a URL which isn't particularly URL friendly (not

--------------------[snip]--------------------
In both cases (serialize, and implode) you should urlencode the results:
window.open('view.php?arr=<?=urlencode(serialize($arr))?>','windo...
window.open('view.php?arr=<?=urlencode(implode('-',$arr))?>','windo...
Should make for a valid URL then. However don't forget that passing
application data via URL could pose a security risk to your application,
depending on what the data actually represents, and how it is worked on.
Consider also that URLs have some size limit (don't have the number at hand).

Hello,
I've a small problem, which mades me crazy... :\
I'm trying to rename() a swapfile to real destination file (atomic update).
It works on differnt environments very well. Sadly not on my ISP-server
I've added an "chmod($swapfile,0777)", but this has not solve the problem.
The directories have all FULL access (read, write, etc.). The destiniation file
too. I don't want 2 use the copy/unlink solution.... Do anyone have an idea?
--- 8< ---
if ( $file = fopen($swapfile,"w") )
{
fwrite($file,$out);
fclose($file);
chmod($swapfile, 0777);
/* this fails with "Permission denied" */
rename($swapfile,$filename);
/* ... but this works */
copy($swapfile,$filename);
unlink($swapfile);

I'm just speculating, but it's possible that your ISP is running from
multiple machines: i.e. several webservers feeding off one fileserver. I had
a similar problem with one of the sites that I work on, and that was the
case. Might be worth asking your ISP if this is the case. The only solution
in my case was to go the copy() unlink() way. It's not as if it's a huge
workaround. ;)

Greetings learned PHP(eople),
This is what my lines look like in my text file :
=======================================================
Source : D:\
Dest : E:\
Files : *.*
Options : *.* /S /E /V /R:5 /W:5
========================================================
When I run the following code it takes the lines above and places them
in an HTML table :
========================================================
$source = `grep "Source :" logs/$file`;
$dest = `grep "Dest :" logs/$file`;
$criteria = `grep "Files :" logs/$file`;
$options = `grep "Options :" logs/$file`;
========================================================
This is the output on the HTML file :
Source : F:\INETPUB\
Dest : D:\BACKUP\INETPUB\
Files : *.* Files : 12911 0 12911 0 0 0
Options : *.* /S /E /V /R:5 /W:5
========================================================
Question is :
What are those numbers that are inserted after the "Files" entry...and
how do I get rid of `em...?
Thanks for any assistance....

Hey All,
I'm still a newB in php and mysql so I'm asking for your patience up front.
i want to get a list of results from an array, which I can do with:
$result=mysql_query("select * from mvlogtbl",$db);
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo "$row[uid] $row[mvid]";
}
basically what I have is a database of movies linked to .avi files that are
setup for streaming, the table mvlogtbl keeps a log of who has watched what.
What i want to be able to do is determine if a certain user has watched a
movie. But there are multiple entries for each user, a user may have watched
the movie more than once, I don't really care, I just want to be able to
tell if they have watched it or not...
any help?
Thanls

Hey, who are you callin' names?!?

% I need to evaluate a number if greater than 7 and add a value per increment.
Greater than seven is easy. Adding a value is easy. Per increment can
be a little tricky but we'll assume for the moment that the window is 1.
The code
$sum = 67 ; # starting value
$trg = 7 ; # trigger value
$add = 6 ; # what we add each time
$num = 10 ; # what we're evaluating (hardcoded here!)
for ( $num ; $trg < $num ; $trg++ )
{ $sum += $add ; }
print "when num = $num, sum = $sum\n" ;
should do for a starting point, though, and produces
bash-2.05a$ php -q /tmp/inc.php
when num = 10, sum = 85
bash-2.05a$ php -q /tmp/inc.php
when num = 20, sum = 145
bash-2.05a$ php -q /tmp/inc.php
when num = 7, sum = 67
bash-2.05a$ php -q /tmp/inc.php
when num = 1, sum = 67
when run.
Extra credit if you write it as a recursive function :-)

Hi all,
I have this script sending 1000 personalized emails.
However when I press the start button in my browser so the script starts mailing I get
no response for a long time from the script. Most of the time I don't get any
response. When I retrieve all the emails I just sent (to myself, using 1000 aliases),
I retrieve e.g. 1396 emails.
Anybody knows how this is possible? Is it possible that the script is adressed again
by the browser, so the whole mailing process starts again?
regards Wilbert

From what you've said it looks as if your script is running in an endless
loop. You may debug it by _not_ actually sending the mail, but echoing the
mail() command to the browser, together with the vital variables you need.

Well if you report receiving 1300+ mails when the script is supposed to
send 1000 there's certainly something wrong ;-)
Try to mark the first message so you can possibly see where it's about to
start over again. Then hook in here with your debug efforts to see as to
why it starts over.

One more nit to add to this...
...and then CPT John W. Holmes said...
%

%
% You can do it like this:
%

Yes, figuring that the added line break is just because of a dumb mail
program :-0
%
% or
%
% $headers = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
% CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
% BCC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
This can get you into trouble because it isn't portable. Mail headers
are supposed to end in return (\r) *and* newline (\n) but all you're
doing here is saying to "insert the end-of-line sequence for this
operating system". If you're on a windows box you're fine (though you
have a myriad of other problems ;-) but if you're on a *NIX box you're
only sending newline and if you're on a Mac you're only sending return (I
don't know enough Mac to know if an OS X Mac has newlines like a classic
Mac or like a *NIX box).
Use the all-run-together format or a .= buildup and manually specify the
needed \r\n to avoid the headache.

I need to write a small link-checker (Intranet), which reads in all

that's why I write my own. It would be good to find out the "complete"
url, because I want to collect the file-endings (.php,.html, ...).
I really think this already exists. You should probably search a bit
harder.
Maybe there are good standalone-link-checkers, but I need to integrate
it in an application and my customer has some special wishes. Anyways I
finished writing the link-checker.
A thing which seemed a bit confusing to me is that if I open a
non-existing website (fopen('http://www.amazon.de/nonsensestuff')) I
always get an error message "Success". It's the same thing if I use
file(). The manual explains that fopen() returns false if the website
could not be opened, that's why I don't know why this error message
appears? Besides this "Success"-message is surely a very bad error
message. I use PHP 4.2.3.

--------------------[snip]--------------------
If the website doesn't exist, but the web SERVER does, it will return
something, usually a 404-message. fopen() doesn't check for HTTP result
codes, it just opens the stream and retuirns whatever gets sent (with the
single exception of omitting the headers, but without looking).
So in fact an fopen() to a non-existing page will be seen as successful by
fopen(). This is by design and afaik documented somewhere.
To actually check on the HTTP status codes you need to run your own, either
using cURL, or by doing your own stuff using fsockopen().

I`m using the following to strip values out of a file, however, the file
I`m accessing contains multiple instance of the search criteria, and I
only wanna return the first instance....
I`m just getting an empty variable and can`t figure it out...
$criteria = `grep "Files :" logs/$file`;
I`ve tried other things like 'grep --max-count=1 "Files :"...etc etc,
and that don`t work
Also tried shellexecarg (`grep blah blah blah);......still not working

Hi, I have this ereg to turn URLs into links:
eregi_replace("([[:alnum:]]+)://([^[:space:]]*)([[:alnum:]#?/&=])", "<a
href=\"\\1://\\2\\3\" {$t}\">\\1://\\2\\3</a>", $str);
... found it in the manual i think, or maybe on weberdev.com examples
Anyhoo, it places the whole link in between the <a...> and </a>, which is
fine for short links, but on longer links (in my case, around 60+ chars), it
messes with my table or CSS layout.
So, I'd like to subtr() the 2nd capture part down to 55 chars or something
IF it's longer than 60, and append a ... to it.
ANY ideas on how this is done? Or is this beyond regexp??
TIA

This really doesn't explain me much. I mean the difference between having
that code on every page or calling it from an external page doesn't tell me
if it is realy necessary to do it all the time. I guess I am looking for
more generic explanation of the whole process rather than what you said.
However I appreciate it much, since it seems to be much better coding
practice

No dude. Create a file called whatever.inc that includes the code that you
are using to connect to the db. In every php script ,that needs this
connection to the db, you simply put:

include("whatever.inc");
?>

Subject: [PHP] connecting to mysql db
hi,
I am trying to play and learn php along with mysql and I have a question
about connecting to a db.
Is the following code necessary on every php page where I am retrieving some
data from a db or is there any way to connect once (something like
index.php) and have that connection open through subsequent pages?
the code
<?php
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "", "")
or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
print ("Connected successfully");
mysql_select_db("test")
or die("Could not select database: " . mysql_error());
?>
thanx
iggy

Yes, you do have to connect to the database in every script that needs to
access it. Usually this is done at the start of the script, along with any
calls to session_start() and other "global" stuff.
For convenience and ease of maintenance, however, it makes good sense to
write a separate file that does nothing but connect to the database. This
separate file then needs to be attached to the running script via include(),
at any point before the first call to the database.

This is the only way I know and probably the safest. This way you know there
is connectivity because it is loaded rigth at the beginning.

But is it always necessary to do this or can you open this connection once
and have it open throughout the next few pages (or as needed) and then close
it?

leaving the connection open creates security questions, and also leaves resources
open, what if a user closes his browser window, how do you know to close the
connection?
if you really want to make it simple, you can edit your php.ini to have the username
and password as default in there, but again, this can be a security risk.
i'm afraid the best way is to include connection code on every page...

can somebody tell me why I am getting this:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session
cookie - headers already sent by (output started at
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\search.php:8) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\search.php on line 21
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache
limiter - headers already sent (output started at
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\search.php:8) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\search.php on line 21
when I use this code:
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['count'])) {
$_SESSION['count'] = 0;
}
PHP is version 4.3.1
