Hi all,
Since the upgrade to php 4.3 I have several issue with my session handling
and my URL. First of all I currently use the following code :
<?
$chaine = "nav.php";
$url_array = explode("/", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) ;
$url = array() ; $stop = true ;
while (list($key, $val) = each($url_array)){
if ($val == $chaine) $stop = false ;
if (! $stop) $url[] = $val ;
}
$i = 0 ;
while (list($key, $val) = each($url)){
$nom = $url[$i++] ;
$$nom = $url[$i++] ;
}
//Then I call my session lib
if (!$SID){
@session_destroy();
@session_start();
$SID=session_id();
}else{
session_start();
# . my customized code
}
?>
this allows me to have my URL in this format :
http://domain.tld/nav.php/page1/SID/abc123
instead of http://domain.tld/nav.php?page=page1&SID=abc123
Thus, all my link are in this format : <a
href="/nav.php/page/SID/<?=SID?>">
Since the upgrade to version 4.3, all my URL and link are in this format :
http://domain.tld/nav.php/page1/SID/abc123?PHPSID=abc123
As a result the Session ID becomes : abc123?PHPSID=abc123. the server cannot
find variables.related to the current session
I would like NOT to use cookies at all, but at soon as I start a session, a
cookies is sent to the browser.
I tried to change several ini variables (with no result), such as :
@ini_set("session.use_trans_sid","0");
@ini_set("session.use_cookies","0");
@ini_set("session.auto_start","0");
@ini_set("session.name","SID");
@ini_set("session.save_handler","files");
Do you have any idea how to force php to write the session information into
the session folder ?
the only way for me to keep my URL "clean" is to activate cookies. but if
cookies are refused by the visitor, the website will be unusable (member
section etc)
I will appreciate any help from you.
Thanks,
Jacques

Not sure where you can read more, but let me try to explain it. The
bitwise operators operate on a binary representation of a number. 4 is
100 in binary, 5 is 101. 5 | 4 results in 5, because the | operator
sets bits set in either number. 5 & 4 results in 4, because the &
operator only sets bits set in both. As for 4 & 4, the same bits are
set in both 4 and 4 (since they're the same number! :)), so it results
in the same number.

These are two totally different operators:
& - bitwise AND
&& - logical AND
So: 5 && 2 yields true
5 & 2 yields 0
In your example we would need to know the value of INPUT - it is most
certainly one of 1, 2, 4, 8, etc, denoting a single bit. So the expression
$search->level & INPUT
would yield nonzero (a.k.a. true) if the bit denoted by INPUT was set in
$search->level.

Bitwise comparison means just that, i.e. comparing two numbers bit by bit.
Any number is represented by a bit combination (this has technical reasons
- if a single "wire" has some electric potential set it's "1", if not it's
"0" (or is it the other way round? Can't remember...). A single "Byte" is
comprised of 8 such lines, each line representig a "Bit" with increasing value.
To read this correctly you need to have a monospaced font:
line number 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
line value 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
as power of 2: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
dec. value: 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
Taking this, the decimal number "4" would look
0000 0100
written in binary notation.
Ok, now let's bitwise AND 4 and 4, walking bits left to right. If both bits
are set the resulting bit is also set (for an AND operation), if one or
both bits are not set this yields a zero bit:
0 & 0 => 0
0 & 0 => 0
0 & 0 => 0
0 & 0 => 0
0 & 0 => 0
1 & 1 => 1
0 & 0 => 0
0 & 0 => 0
I hope it seems logical that the result of bitwise ANDing a number to
itself always will result in the same number...
There are a couple of bitwise operators:
& (AND): the result contains bits set in both operands
| (OR): the result contains bits set in either operand
^ (XOR): the result contains bits set in either one or the other operand,
but not in both (0 ^ 1 = 1, 1 ^ 0 = 1, 1 ^ 1 = 0, 0 ^ 0 = 0)
Unary operands:
~ (NOT) reverses all bits of the single operand, e.g.;
~4 => 251 (~0000 0100 => 1111 1011)
Bit-Shift operators move the bits of a number to the left or right:
<< left shift ($a << $b means shift bits of $a $b-times to the left)
e.g. 4 << 1 = 8 (0000 0100 << 1 = 0000 1000)
>> right shift ($a >> $b means shift bits of $a $b-times to the right)
e.g. 4 >> 1 = 2 (0000 0100 >> 1 = 0000 0010)

Hello,
I've looked for the answer to this for a while and I have no broken down for
asking for help.
My problem is I have a few dynamic PHP sites. And all of them seem to be
doing the same problem to me no matter what or how hard I try.
All my sites seem to be caching heavily on IE 5 and 6 and not on any other
browser.
This is happening on the front page of the site the index.php page, which
generates unique custom content for the user that is time critical for them
to see. Since it's the first page that is hit on the site I can't put
anything snazzy like extensions or anything to make it look more dynamic (At
least not that I know of ;) ).
I am currently using apache 1.3 and PHP 4.2.3 on one system. On another
system I am using Apache 2.0.40 and PHP 4.2.2
On one site I have (currently) no cache control on the meta tags and have
all the cache control in the header of the html. (previously I had meta tags
in there all over the place and well it didn't help either :( )
My headers (Currently) for one site look like this
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sat, 08 Mar 2003 07:22:04 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.40 (Red Hat Linux)
Accept-Ranges: bytes

It's a very good suggestion and I thank you for it but IE is still caching
the data :(.
For those people who are wondering -
I used almost ever variation of that cache control in the header
That includes:
The cache-control as the only command, added to my huge cache-control
statement, and put on it's own line.
Anybody else have any suggestions or different ways?
Thanks for the advice :)
I appreciate it!

Hi Kurst,
I don't know whether what I'm about to pass on will be of any help, or close
to solving your problem, but perhaps the idea might lead you somewhere.
I was faced with a problem: As my index page loaded, I had to test to see
whether 'cookies' were enabled, without resorting to javascript. The reason I
had to check: without cookies, sessions wouldn't work properly. The user
would not be aware of anything amiss, until he accessed something from the db
-- then all forms were messed up.
The solution I hit upon was to create a test schema that relied on two
additional 'pages' been called. On the 'index' page, the main one I wanted
displayed, (and the one called for by url), has a simple script at the
beginning. I have found that the 'index' page is not cached since it must be
processed through this two-page filter on every encounter with the url --
else it is re-directed. Maybe it will work for you, or you could adapt it to
your needs?? (I'm only a one-year 'php-veteran from the trenches' :>)
Code follows:
Index page:
<?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?>
<?php
if ($_SESSION['test'] == "") {
$_SESSION['test'] = "1";
header("location: index-load.php");
}
?>
Index-load page:
<?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?>
<?php
if ($_SESSION['test'] == "1") {
$_SESSION['test'] = "1";
session_write_close();
header("location: index.php");
}
else {
header("location: index-message.php");
}
?>
Index-message page:
<?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?>
<?php
switch ($_SESSION['test']):
case "1":
header(location: index.php")
break;
case ""
$_SESSION['test'] = "1";
/* you can put whatever message, commands in here */
break;
endswitch;
?>
Hth,
Andre

depending on how the text file is organized, this can be an easy task or
impossible. But, here goes:
If a line in the text file contains all the info about the card and is
organized routinely and separated by a special character ("," , ; or tab,
then you should be able to do something like the following:
<html>
<body bgcolor=navy>
<?php
$db=" ";
$table=" ";
$user=" ";
$pass=" ";
$link=mysql_connect("localhost","$user","$pass");
if (! $link) die("Can't log in at this time");
mysql_select_db($db,$link) or die ("Can't log in at this time");
print "<table align=center cellpadding=7 cellspacing=0 border=1
bgcolor=silver>";
$fp=fopen("persons.txt","r") or die ("Couldn't open file!");
while (!feof ($fp))
{
$persons=fgets($fp,100); // looks for \n (carrage return) or 100 characters
before moving on
list($image,$title,$first,$date,)= split ("\t", $persons, 6); /// splits
on tab
print "<tr>
<td>$first </td>
<td>$title </td>
<td>$image </td>
<td>$date </td>
</tr>";
$query="insert into $table (first, title, date, directory, image)
values ('".addslashes($first)."',
'".addslashes($title)."',
'".addslashes($date)."',
'".addslashes($directory)."',
'".addslashes($image)."' )";
$result=mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) die ("couldn't update $table".mysql_error());
}
fclose($fp);
mysql_close($link);
print "</table>";
?>
</body>

I have written an extension of the idea available at
http://nikmakepeace.com/goodies/abbreviate.phps
It takes 5 arguments:
string to be abbreviated,
length in characters to abbreviate to
(-ve values mean reduce string by this many chars)
place you want to abbreviate at (end, start or middle),
string used to abbreviate (included in the total length)
(default is "..." html entity)
whether to enclose the abbreviation in the <abbr> element
(title includes the whole string for mouseover)
I hope you or anyone else likes it. Maybe some day I'll actually do some
proper work instead of writing silly utilities.

You mean the SID constant I assume. This constant is only defined if the
client didn't send the right cookie.
There's no global variable holding the session identifier - you can use
session_id() to retrieve (and set!) the current session identifier, and
session_name() to retrieve (and set!) the name of the session (which
usually is PHPSESSIONID).
For further information check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php.

Subject: [PHP] $PHPSESSID
First of all, thanks all who helped with the min and max functions (that
works) and the dollar sign bit (which also works). Kudos. Couldn't have done
it without y'all!
Here's the newest brain teaser: I have cookies disabled (well, I have IE set
to the highest security mode, where it disables cookies). I understand that
with cookies enabled, $PHPSESSID will return nothing when it works. However,
it will return a value when cookies are disabled and the page is refreshed
after a cookie is attempted. I'm still getting nothing either way. Anybody
know why?

LWP is a perl thing. Curl is probably the best thing to use.
Have you tried using googles php api which they provide free?

hoopy. the problem is the cookie. i have a login.php which checks
user input and depending on the results either sets a cookie,
displays a message and proceeds to the next page or returns to the
login page. the problem is, it doesn't work, the browser (netscape,
safari,...) never gets the cookie. the next page checks the cookie
and if it isn't set, it returns to the login page. since the cookie
isn't set, this keeps happening even when it should proceed to the

now the strange thing: before i had to reinstall OSX, it worked nicely.

First find out if the cookie is send as it should be - use a php script
to simulate sending the login form and look at the response you will
recieve. Curl is great for this.

There is nothing to install.
By default php usually comes with XML parser methods - however if you want
to invest time in running XSLT/XPATH styles against XML you need to install
server side software such as Sablotron or Saxon. We run Sablotron and it's
very good. We've also invested in Stylus Studio which is a good xml/xslt
development tool.
I'm not really sure what you want to do so it's difficult to help you
further. If you give a small idea of what it is you want to achieve then
it might be easier to help you on your way.

If you want to use SAX, you should already have it installed if you have
compiled PHP with '--with-xml'. (BTW, have you compiled PHP yourself? - do
you know how to compile PHP?).
First of all you should upgrade to a newer apache, as as far as I know
Apache 1.3.12 had some problem when ran with Sablotron (this would be needed
if you will want to use XML with XSL transformations)
Then you should use the domxml extension (add '--with-dom'
'--with-dom-xslt' '--with-dom-exslt' to your configure patch when you are
compiling PHP). After you compile PHP, you should have support for SAX, DOM
and XSL transformations.
And if you want a bootstrap to start using XMLs for content publishing,
you should also look at Krysalis at

To execute any code contained within a string you need to eval() it.
Assuming you have this piece of code
$uname = 'Leo';
$text = "<b>Hello there, <?php echo \$uname; ?></b>";
eval("?>$text<?php ;");
Note that you first escape from PHP in order to correctly "execute" plain text.

The only way that comes to my mind is using a SET column type - in
related table you would not wave toid relating to categories, but
instead it would be of type SET("demonstrations","people"). This column
can be set to
"" -empty, no category
"demonstrations"
"people"
"demonstrations,people"
But SET column is limited to 64 different members, still you can use
more columns.

Hi!
Perhaps this is a little bit of topic, but if it's not possible to fix
directly when the result is returning from mysql I need some tips on
an intelligent solution...
This is the problem: I'm searching the database for files and i get
some results. In the sql I have a LIMIT to split the result up. Every
file can have none, one or several categories associated with it. This
is done by having an extra table between the table with the references
to the files and the table with the categories. What I want to do is
to get all categories associated with an file concatenated and
returned in _one_ field together with the other data. Look below for
visualisation.
I'm having this main table with references to files in it:
files
+-----+-------------+
| id | filename |
+-----+-------------+
|168 |v008-12.jpg|
+-----+-------------+
Then I have this table to relate one file to one or several categories:
relatedtable
+-----+--------+------+
| id | fromid | toid |
+-----+--------+------+
| 4 | 1 | 2 |
| 257 | 2 | 2 |
+-----+--------+------+
Which lies in this table for categories:
categories
+----+--------------+
| id | categoryname | stickword
+----+--------------+
| 5 | demonstrations |
| 6 | people |
+----+--------------+
The following sql:
SELECT DISTINCT
files.id, files.filename, categories.categoryname
FROM
files
LEFT JOIN
relatedtable
ON
files.id = relateratabell.fromid
LEFT JOIN
kategorier
ON
relatedtable.toid = categories.id
WHERE
(relatedtable.fromid IS NULL OR relatedtable.fromid IS NOT NULL)
AND
files.stickword LIKE '%basta%' //for example
ORDER BY
filename;
Gives the following result:
+---+-----------+--------------------------+
| id | filename | categoryname |
+---+-----------+--------------------------+
| 166| v007-86.jpg | demonstrations |
| 166| v007-86.jpg | people |
| 167| v008-03.jpg | demonstrations |
| 167| v008-03.jpg | people |
+---+-----------+--------------------------+
This is what I expected it to, but I'ld rather get a result as this one:
+---+-----------+--------------------------+
| id | filename | categoryname |
+---+-----------+--------------------------+
| 166| v007-86.jpg | demonstrations, people |
| 167| v008-03.jpg | demonstrations, people |
+---+-----------+--------------------------+
Where the categories have been collected together into the same field,
so that I don't get multiple rows for the same file… Is this possible
to achieve?
Many many thanks to the one who can give me some input!
Sincerely
Victor

Another good place to get start-up information, assuming that GD is

However, I cannot seem to find a clear example on how to create the

What do you mean "based on the size of a text file"? Number of bytes?
Lines?
and then once I create the
initial image how to paint the text on the image based on how it
appears in
the textfile.
Again, it is unclear to me what you mean by "based on how it appears in
the textfile"?
Is your text file broken into lines, and you want to create your image
with the same line breaks? If so, there are a couple of examples in the
comments for the imagettfbbox() and
imagettftext() functions. I know the last comment contains an example
that can do multiple lines (Brian at PrintsMadeEasy dot com) There's a
link to the code and a working demo. When I modified the code to
anti-alias the text it looked rather good. YMMV
Any help with this would be helpful. Thank-you for your time!

Just a note, testing for those characters is trickier than it sounds. The
backslash throws off the test. Here's what I did on a POST form. Note the
-two- backslashes.
$chkstring=substr($thisfile,0,5);
if ("$chkstring" != "{\\rtf") {
// fail
}
This seems to work, but I'm wondering if there's a better way.

Hi all,
I'm trying to save a text file from my server to a client machine through
PHP and am using the following headers:
header("Content-type: application/text");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=variables.txt");
The header does save a text file from the server to my desktop alright, but
it strips everything in the text file. I have a file named variables.txt
with nothing in it. I have uploaded a text file that does have test data in
it. Furthermore, I set all the user rights in Unix to Read / Write/Execute
but everytime PHP opens or saves it, it does so without any of the variables
I've entered.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!!!!

Try to add the Content-length header and see if this resolves your problem:
header("Content-type: application/text");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="variables.txt"');
header('Content-Length: ' . strlen($contents));
I made a habit to send the "filename" part in double quotes - some user
agents seem to require this although it's not required by RFC (RFC822,
RFC2183). Since doing this it always works for me :)

I have a class for elements of an HTML form and a bunch of subclasses
for text box, radio, etc.
I need some utility functions which will be called by some of the
subclass implementations. These are utilities used within the class
only, they are not methods.
Is there a "best" way to implement this given that there are no private
functions in PHP? The options seem to be to define the utilities
globally, or define them as methods in the superclass and call them
with superclass::func(); in either case I would never call them
externally.
Thanks for any tips,

Greetings,
I am using php on a Sun Cobalt Linux
server with many virtual hosts.
I want to have the /php directory
one directory above the /web root
so it is not accessible from browser command line execution but
will execute from a click on an
html page. CGI-PHP is installed
but I need to know the .htaccess
contents for the /cgi/php directory
If that is not possible.......
and I put the /php directory under
the /web root; would have to protect
it from browser command line execution
with a .htaccess file.
I would appreciate help with either of
the .htaccess contents that are required.
This question I think is very simple for
some of the more experienced php users
and I can't find the answer in any
documentation.
Thanks very much for any help.

Of course this is possible. You just cannot directly run any PHP script by
URL if it's located outside the web root, but you could easily use stub
files running that part of the application you wish to use.
I assume you have some libraries that you'd like to include in your stub files:
-- stub.php
<?php
require_once('../php/library1.php');

So there's no real need for an .htaccess-based blocker.
However here's what you need in .htaccess )line numbers only for
explanation below):
1 AuthName "The name of your realm"
2 AuthType Basic
3 AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/.htpasswd
4 AuthGroupFile /etc/httpd/.htgroup
5 Require group authorized_users
6 Order deny,allow
7 Deny from all
8 Allow from 10.10.10.0/24
9 Allow from ##.##.##.##
10 Satisfy any
Explanation:
1 - This is the text that will appear on the authentication dialog at the
clients side.
2 - There are others (like NTLM) but I don't have any experience using
them. Take care that "Basic" doesn't provide any encryption of transmitted
UserID/Passwords; it just Base64-encodes it.
3 - Where the password file is located. It may be anywhere, even outside
the web root, as long as it is readable by Apache. You create and maintain
the .htpasswd file using the htpasswd command line utility.
4 - Optional; contains user groups. Maintained by text editor. Format:
group: user user user
group: user user user
5 - Names of user groups that may access the ddirectory. You may as well use
Require user user-id user-id
if you don't support groups.
6 - Order of ACL check (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_access.html#order)
7 - Deny all hosts and users (checked first, see 6)
8 - Allow from the internal network (example, not required)
9 - Allow from any other IP or subnet (example, not required)
10 - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#satisfy
Allow access if _any_ of the above restrictions is met. If you specify
Satisfy all
the above example would never allow access since no host can be on
different addresses...
Note that "AllowOverride AuthConfig" must be set in the server or virtual
host definition if authentication is to be used via .htaccess.
The authentication directives can be used in the server config at the
<Directory> level, or in the .htaccess file.
Formore info on Apache directives read
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/directives.html.
HTH,

possible through an SQL statement.
Nik & Kevin, thanks a lot .. but this SQL Query works
too efficiently and fast.
Thanks again..

Sorry, just saw you wanted to DELETE the files...
It's "unlink($filename);"
Note you need to have write access to the directory (not only the file) to
delete it.
