try the latest snapshot of PHP 4 from snaps.php.net. it
supports URLs in the getinagesize() function.

Hi Sue,
Thies Arntzen made a typo, it is the getimagesize() function. Look at page
497 and use "string imagefile" in newer versions as URL.

We are doing some PDF work for a client in PHP. Not quite sure how many 'tags'
CF has, but, although there are many, it's not an easy thing. Lots of 'exact
positioning' for everything, and we ended up writing some routines ourselves to
handle textboxes and such. You'll need to invest a bit of time, but I'd
imagine you would under cold fusion as well.
The cpdf1 service from adobe looks neat, but it also looks like it takes a
while - doesn't look like it'd be a good 'realtime' service to integrate with
your site. If you need 'real time' PDFs you'll need to roll your own I'd
think.
Good luck.

You might look into HTMLDOC. This progam takes HTML files as input and converts them
to PDF. You could create a template in HTML, use PHP to replace to user specific
fields and then call HTMLDOC to create the PDF. HTMLDOC is located at

Everyone seems to recommend turning off register_globals, but accessing them
through $HTTP_POST_VARS["var_name"], gets tedious.
I haven't found a better solution (not to say there isn't one) than this
small snippet.
The idea is to turn off "register_globals", as I believe is heavily
recommended by the PHP team, and declare what variables you are expecting on
a per script basis.
Magic-quotes would also be off. Hopefully this makes all external variables
safe.
I was hoping some experienced users would cast their eye over this and
suggest any improvements, and comment if it is worth doing at all
define("ALLOWABLE_HTML_TAGS", "<B><H1>");
function use_ext_var($var_name, $var_location)
{
global $$var_name, $$var_location;
$$var_name = ${$var_location}[$var_name];
$$var_name = stripslashes($$var_name);
$$var_name = strip_tags($$var_name, ALLOWABLE_HTML_TAGS);
}
use_ext_var("sample_var", "HTTP_GET_VARS");
print $sample_var;
How are other people handling this, or are most of you 'lazy' and just use
globals :)

D Robinson
For experienced PHP developers having register_globals on should not be a
security issue. Injecting arbitrary variables into your symbol table is
only a problem if you arbitrarily use such variables without initializing
or checking them for validity.
I think the main point of concern here is that register_globals makes life
very easy on inexperienced developers and these are the same people most
likely to do something silly like:
<?
include $file;
...
?>
Note that doing:
<?
include $HTTP_POST_VARS['file'];
...
?>
really isn't any safer. People won't be able to put file=/etc/passwd
right in the URL, but they can still trivially fake up a form post and
inject whatever value for 'file' into the POST data.
It all boils down to verifying any and all user-supplied data.

Thank for the extremely quick response,
So setting error_reproting to E_ALL, and making sure you take heed of any
"Undefined variable" notices, will allow you to use register_globals in
safety?

Simple solution to make sure the variables are POST
somepage.php?var_1=asd&var_2=qwe&var_3=zxc
<?
$var_1 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['var_1'];
$var_2 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['var_2'];
$var_3 = $HTTP_POST_VARS['var_3'];
?>
This way var_1, var_2, var_3 will allways be POST vars and you can still
access them through $var_1, $var_2, $var_3
Ramus had a good note though, dont think just because its not a GET or
Cookie var that a user cant whip up a simple html POST page in about 10sec.

totally :)
I toyed with turning off register globals in binarycloud, only to a) have
that pointed out to me, and b) realize that it would be a total hassle.
we're extremely paranoid about user input, and you have to get used to
making your code only accept _exactly_ what it is expecting with regards to
user input.
I've seen:
file.php?message=hello&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
can you say spam-engine ?

Are there any real performance gained by turning register_globals off? After
all, it must take the php engine some clock cycles to generate all the
global variables. Have anyone tested it?

Hey,
I just signed up on this list. I've got a quick
question.
I am using an #include statment, and here it is:
include.html
---
<? include("$page"); ?>
---
so when I include it looks like this
---
include.html?page=main.html
---
That way the page shown in the include statement is
main.html
My problem comes when the page I am including is
passing vars as well.
ie
---
include.html?page=main.html?date=12
---
I get an error msg saying that it could not include my
file.
Any ideas? Work arounds? I am using PHP3.
Thanks,
Eric Padgett

Try:
$page = str_replace("?", "&", $page);
That'll change:
include.html?page=main.html?date=12
into:
include.html?page=main.html&date=12
So the variables get passed properly.

If I am not mistaken XML tags needs to be identifed. So <? doesn't mean much
in XML... I like both sintaxes and in my company we only use <? ?>... Maybe
we could vote the use or not of this feature?

I forgot to mention that if is PHP the parser (since you are creating PHP
scripts in a server that use PHP as CGI or as a module) this could not be
treated by the parser? I mean, the common XML tag is <?xml version...
Couldn't this be solved in the server side?

You renamed the library and restarted the server and it still came up with
4.0.1? If so, you are doing something dumb. Like perhaps you compiled
4.0.1 statically into your httpd. Check this by doing "httpd -l". If you
see php listed you know it was compiled statically into your binary.
If it isn't static, go look at your LoadModule line in your httpd.conf and
see where it is loading the module from. Make sure this is pointing at
this new module you built.
Also make sure that the web server you restarted is the right one. I have
seen many people who install Apache and PHP without realizing that they
already have an Apache instance on their server. And when they do an
apachectl restart the apachectl script actually restarts the wrong server
on them.

Why not building apache with dso support and build a
libphp4.so shared image ? Much less hassle.

Hi,
I'm trying to echo out the field names used as key values in a
mysql_fetch_array:
$link_id = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", $pass);
mysql_select_db("database", $link_id);
$result = mysql_query("select * from lists where id = 1", $link_id);
$rowData = mysql_fetch_array($result);
while (list($fieldName) = each($rowData))
{ echo "$fieldName,"; }
I'm expecting to get this:
id,listname,joinconfirm,leaveconfirm,homepage,author,canjoin,bannedemails,de
scription,subject,masteremail,
but instead getting this:
0,id,1,listname,2,joinconfirm,3,leaveconfirm,4,homepage,5,author,6,canjoin,7
,bannedemails,8,description,9,subject,10,masteremail,
Why are the index numbers for the array showing up? From the docs,
mysql_fetch_array should create an array of field names to field values...?
To make things worse, if I also echo the data:
while (list($fieldName, $fieldValue) = each($rowData))
{ echo "$fieldName,$fieldValue," ;}
Then a value is echoed after both the index number and the field value, eg:
0,1,id,1,1,testlist,listname,testlist, etc...
What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
Jaxon
> $rowData = mysql_fetch_array($result);
mysql_fetch_array can return an array with only numeric indices, only text
(fieldname) indices, *OR* *BOTH*, the default.
You need to use the "optional" argument:
$rowData = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);

each() assigns four elements... (0 = index), (1 = value), (key = index), (value =

You are concerned with key and value.
So: list ($fieldname, $value) = each($row)
You may not be using $value but you still need to assign the data to a variable. Or
list will only assign $fieldname the numerical
index and not the char index. At least that's from what I understand. Anyone, please
feel free to correct me.

What you have will work only if the file has *EXACTLY* the lower-case of the
$FirstName, with no newlines, and no other names in the file, and the one in
the file must not be Mixed Case.
You are probably looking for something more like this:
if (stristr($words, $FirstName)){
echo "Bad";
}

Can you use the same username/password to start the "mysql" monitor on the
machine with the database on it?
If so, perhaps you've set it up so only the same machine can use that
username/password, but not an external machine.

They all *return* the last line, but exec (and some others) accept an array

ok here's what i get from php.net:
SetCookie()'s behavior is dependant on where it is called within the web
document tree. For example, setting a cookie from a php script in a
directory makes that cookie available only to other scripts in that
directory and its subdirectories. However, setting a cookie of the same name
from a script in the directory's parent directory will override all cookies
of that name in the parent directory's subdirectories.
scenario: im browsing a file in lets call directory 'test'. this file is
including a file in the parent directory. this included file is setting a
cookie.
the problem is when i goto directory 'test2' and use this same included file
in the parent directory, it cant find the cookie.
how should be setting this cookie??

The point here is that the file is being *included*, therefore the
cookie will only be local to that "test" directory, regardless of
where the file that sets the cookie lives.

I mainly set my cookies with a path of "/". Saves hassles, and the
cookie is accessible everywhere.

Fetch the comfy chair!
I am building a library of functions to make it easy to use PHP with
Macromedia Generator.
I have a first version of the library available at :
http://www.markme.com/~mesh/temp/GeneratorLibrary.zip
I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Especially any suggestions
on how to optimize the code, or just to code it better, as well as any
comments on ways to make the documentation more clear.
This is just a beta. Please do not distribute the link yet. When the library
is ready, I am going to release it to the general public.
FYI : Macromedia Generator is a server side tool that dynamically creates

But, just as it's a good idea to use the HTTP_USER_AGENT environment to
dynamically set the size of type so that Internet Explorer users are not
forced to view huge text (which appears fine in Amaya, Konqueror and the
4.*
series of Netscape), so the 6.* series of Mozilla/Netscape also displays
huge
text. Can anyone show me how to use preg_match to sift out, say

Hello,
I was just typing a msg and accidentally hit send before I could
finish.. sorry..
I have a file, its contents are as follows:
Name of person1, string1
Name of person2, string2
Name of person3, string3
Name of person4, string4
Name of person5, string5
I want to alphabetize the list from A-Z (using the first column as the
primer key). I was planng on using an array, but I would have to use a 2
dimensional array and I am not too swift on those..
Thanx,
Ray..
Just build an assosciative array like so
$arr["person1"] = "string1";
$arr["person2"] = "string2";
$arr["person3"] = "string3";
$arr = asort($arr);

Ray,
You could create an array where the keys are the person names and the
values are the strings. For example:
$people_strings = array ("joe" => "bar", "andy" => "foo");
ksort($people_strings);
reset($people_strings);
while (list ($key, $value) = each ($people_strings)) {
print "$key -> $value\n";
}
That should print out:
andy -> foo
joe -> bar
The ksort is the magic part, it sorts arrays by their keys.
Regards,
Sean Cazzell
Any ideas?
Normally NuSphere sets it up but it isn't installing PHP even though the
status says done.
Here is what you asked about,
[root@ /root]# httpd -la
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
suexec: disabled; invalid wrapper /usr/sbin/suexec
[root@ /root]# ll httpd
m-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 21 15:22 httpd
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a MySQL statement, namely:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Count FROM images i LEFT JOIN categories c ON
i.cat_id=c.id LEFT JOIN subcategories s ON i.subcat_id=s.id
I want to change the LEFT JOINs to INNER JOINs like so:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Count FROM images i INNER JOIN categories c ON
i.cat_id=c.id INNER JOIN subcategories s ON i.subcat_id=s.id
But as soon as I do that I get this error message:
MySQL Error: 1064 (You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'INNER JOIN
categories c ON i.cat_id=c.id INNER JOIN subcategories s ON i.subcat_' at
line 1)
Session halted.
Help please. Thanks,
Matt Stone

I'm not sure why are getting that error.
Is the statement you are running exactly the same as the one posted in the
email? Check that you don't have a "comma" after the "images i" part. If i
put a comma there, I can simulate your error. Otherwise, your syntax to me
seems fine.

I am trying to open a binary file from a URL, and then send that file back
to the user's browser (after setting the appropriate content-type).
I think i have a handle on how to open the file :
using either fread() or file()
however, i am not sure how to iterate through the bytes, get the file size,
and write the bytes back to the browser?
can anyone point me in the correct direction? Even if it is just the
function name, that is helpful as I can look up the info in the php manual.
thanks in advance....

Hi there,
I'm a beginner using php. Currently, I'm develope a online registration system. I face
some problems, hope that some one can help me to solve it.
1. I have create a email sending form. After I enter all the particulars, while
sending this mail to somebody. Can anybody tell me that how can I store the whole
particular from that email form into my database.
2. Can I send the whole form for example this email form by using mail() function?
3. How can I provide the attachment facility in this mail form? I would like to allow
user to attach their file and send it out. How can I attach that file and how can I
send it out by mail function in php?
Please somebody tell me the solution. I am very appreciate your help.
Thanks!
tom

$query = "insert into yourtable (field1, field2, ...) values('$field1',
'$field2', ...)";
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
2. Can I send the whole form for example this email form by using mail()
function?
$body = "field1 = $field1\r\n";
$body .= "field2 = $field2\r\n";
#etc
$headers = "From: yourmeailhere\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-to: youremailhere\r\n";
mail("whowantsit", "Subject", $body, $headers);
3. How can I provide the attachment facility in this mail form? I would like
to allow user to attach their file and send it out. How can I attach that
file and how can I send it out by mail function in php?
Probably easiest to use the mail class on Manuel Lemos' class archive.

Ok, here's the prolem: I'm trying to create a feature on my site similar to
xdrive.com. Basically I want the user to be able to upload a file and have
it stored on my server. I also want to have the ability for the user to
download the file at a later time. Account authentiaction is handled, no
problem, but I have no idea where to put the files. I create a directory,
it may be guessed and even the filename might be guessed and any user may be
able to download the file, breaking user authentication. If I store the
file in a non-apache directory, how does the user download the file?
My goal is to have the second scenario work, create a directory for each
user for file storage, and somehow get the user to be able to download it
after being authenticated. I do not want to use .htaccess files for this,
either. I want it to be seemless with the rest of the features of the site.
Thanks in advance for any ideas,
johnny p.

Use a file, "download.php" that will make sure the user is
authenticated, then fetch the contents of the file, and send the
file to the browser.
Jason
Do just what you said and create a directory outside of your Apache doc
root. Just make sure the user PHP is running as has permissions to access
the directory ;) Then use PHP's fpassthru, etc., to send the content of the
file back.
You will need to send a mime-type header; take a look around - there are
tutorials over this on phpbuilder.com I'm pretty sure.

Textpad is pretty good on Micro$ucks products. It has a free evaluation
which isn't very bothersome (unlike others...). You can examine it as
