Hello.
I have two scripts in php that reads a .swf or .flv movie file, like this:
SCRIPT # 1
<?php
$movie = "movie.swf";
readfile($movie);
?>
SCRIPT # 2
<?php
$movie = "movie.flv";
readfile($movie);
?>
The script # 1 with the .swf file works fine: the video is executed with
streaming.
The script # 2 with the .flv file is executed but without streaming.
If i execute the movie.flv directly (without the php script), then it´s
executed with streaming.
Do you know how can i do to execute the .flv file with php and with
straming?
I tried with fopen, readfile, but don´t works.
Thank you

If you change the filetype (from swf to flv) you need to change the
headers php sends before it spits out the file.
What headers are you sending?

There's a tutorial here:

(have not tested it myself). The php code is available for download from

This useless IP solution is used by 80% of websites. I was trying to

I just tried this and now it's not inserting at all where before everything
EXCEPT two fields go in...
$sql = "INSERT INTO workorders ( CreatedDate, Location, WorkOrderName,
AdminID, FormName, Status, Notes) VALUES (";
$sql .= "Now(), ";
$sql .= "'". mysql_real_escape_string($Location) ."', ";
$sql .= "'". mysql_real_escape_string($WorkOrderName) ."', ";
$sql .= "'". mysql_real_escape_string($AdminID) ."', ";
$sql .= "'". mysql_real_escape_string("WorkOrder") ."', ";
$sql .= "'". mysql_real_escape_string("New Order") ."', ";
$sql .= "'". mysql_real_escape_string($Notes) ."', ";
$WorkOrderID = mysql_insert_id();

Hi guys,
I'm using PHP 5.1.6 and I'm calling a WSDL that has 4 functions.
This is a brand new service opened by one of our vendors so I'm sure it is
going to change. So I'm thinking I would like to build a page that pulls
the data structures and builds html input forms automatically.
So when I send the following code:
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, $options);
$available_types = $client->__getTypes();
var_dump($available_types[4]);
I get back:
string(467) "struct ProvisionNewTrunk {
string DeviceID;
string DeviceModel;
string PublicIP;
string LastName;
string FirstName;
string Address1;
string Address2;
string City;
string State;
string ZIP;
string Country;
string Phone;
string Email;
string Department;
string Company;
string PromotionCode;
string CCName;
string CCAddress1;
string CCAddress2;
string CCCity;
string CCState;
string CCZIP;
string CCCountry;
string CCNumber;
string CCExpDate;
}"
Normally I would just hard-code an array but is there any "automatic" way to
iterate through this so I can build an input form? Besides hacking up a
str_split or something?
All my googling just turns up mirrors of php.net man pages:(
Thanks a bunch,
Shanon

Also, i know php is an interpreted language. But wouldn't it be possible to
write a virtual machine for php and compile byte code... I know, php is not
Java or Actionscript :-P but it could be an add on feature. i guess the eval
wouldn't work then would it? Although eval could still be interpreted...
This would be nice in case you need to protect your intellectual property.
I haven't tried it, but I might soon for an appliance I'm building.
http://www.roadsend.com/
Actually might not have "virtual machine" as java does but it has an
engine and it is possible to produce something similar to byte-code.
You can some solutions to this and here is one of them (open source):
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.bcompiler.php
http://pecl.php.net/package/bcompiler
and there is a script to make "byte-code":
http://bencoder.urdada.net/
I have used and it works.

Hello PHPers,
I am quite ignorant about file system security. I was hoping you all
could help me understand things.
How does one restrict php script from going (reading, writing) files in
the file system?
As I see it, a php programmer could change the include_path, with
ini_set(), use "../" etc..., and browse all the files on the server to
which the php engine has access. This would clearly not be acceptable
to a web host company, so how do most hosts restrict this kind of
behaviour?
Now, suppose i only have php access to my 'files' as defined by my host
somehow. (again, my first part of the question is how do they do
this?). Is it possible for me to further restrict this file
accessibility for different sub-folders? Let me provide an example
folder hierarchy and user scenario.
Suppose there are two php programmers (me and you). I want full access,
but I want to restrict you to your subdomain (subdomain2).
+AllUsers (me and you)
+Domain1
++Subdomain1 (me only)
++Subdomain2 (me and you)
++SharedDomain (me and you)
+ServerFile1 (me only)
+ServerFile2 (me only)
+SecretFile (no user)
Thanks for helping understand how to restrict/limit different php
programmers from going into places I'd rather them not go.
dK
Two methods come to mind, chroot and just setting perms for specific
dirs.
Hello,
1) chroot
I don't understand how to specify to the php engine to chroot upon
different scripts being executed (scripts that i don't control). Would
you please clarify?
2)perms
The php engine is what has access to specific dirs (not users,
scripts,). That i know of, the php engine doesn't allow per user
permissions. That is, it is one engine, one set of perms. Are you
suggesting i have a separate php engine for each user?
3) Maybe i can simplify this question: How does a hosting company, in a
shared virtual host server environment, prevent all their clients (php
programmers) from snooping into all the other clients' folders? I am
assuming we are all using the same php engine, as it is a shared apache
host.
O.K. I read and typed too fast. In short, suexec with apache will run
a user's scripts as that user so long as php is run as cgi and not the
apache mod. Also, virtual hosts in apache define the docroot for a
virtual host (user/domain/etc.), so other virtual hosts can't access
outside of that docroot into other virtual hosts.
So the perms part of my previous reply was related to suexec and chroot
was out of my ass because many times you would chroot apache for extra
security from the webserver in general.
thx for the reply shawn.

Hi!
Today, I have erased two, outstanding "bad debts" totalling almost 10 thousand
dollars, from my report. They were not mine, but I did not know how to proceed.
This, alone, will save me THOUSANDS in interest, and more importantly, will
make me a "good person" again, in "their" eyes.
How I did it? The answer is: Very Easy! I just checked my credit score using
the free credit report, which is now available for all US citizens, and it is
offered for absolutely free. You don't have to pay for it, and also you have
nothing to loose, if you try it - you can only take a benefit of that free
trial. It is also teaching you how to manage bad debts, how to erase them, and
even better - how to increase and improve your credit score, that you have had
so far.
How I ordered this free credit report? I checked their website, and send them
an email asking them for help, so they send me back the information, asking me
to let more US people know about that great offer, that is still available,
even with less supplies, so be quick if you want that too. These are good
people, you can trust them as I did.
All you have to do is send an email to bostianqueen1...@gmail.com saying that
you want to order the Free Credit Report too, and they will get back to you
almost immediately.
I whish you all the best!
