Ok, It is not the location of the <?php include("global.inc.php");?> that
matters here. I assume the login function included below is called from the
function is_admin that is called in your code somewhere around line 54.
That means that HTML has already been output (everything above line 54) and
therefore the header and setcookie functions will fail. Try moving the
$admin = is_admin() call above all the HTML in your pages. Maybe right
after the include line.

Subject: RE: [PHP] 'Cannot send Headers' Problem!! MOre..
Glory!
I have two files, directory.php and global.inc.php
In directory.php ... this is the first line :
<?php include("global.inc.php"); $admin = is_admin();?>
followed by the HTML tags..
<HTML>
<HEAD>
and at Line 54 begins the php code in this page..
<?php
$return = numlinks_array(); // Build array of number of links in each
category
$numlinks = $return[0];
$numlinkstree = $return[1];
$thematrix="1";
________________
Now, in global.inc.php, this is the function in question, the Admin
Login function, which contains lines 533, 534 & 535 ..
function login($username, $password)
{
setcookie("Links_Cookie_User", $username, time() + 3600);
setcookie("Links_Cookie_Pass", $password, time() + 3600);
header("Location: directory.php");
exit;
}
On trying to login, I get this error..
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at /home/unbreaka/public_html/mjs/directory.php:4) in
/home/unbreaka/public_html/mjs/global.inc.php on line 533

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at /home/unbreaka/public_html/mjs/directory.php:4) in
/home/unbreaka/public_html/mjs/global.inc.php on line 535
Upon 'View Source' of this page.. I have all the HTML tags that I have
in directory.php .. which begin after the include function, but make up
the interface of the page.
Line 4 of Directory.php currently is..
<META http-equiv=Keywords content="michael, jackson, mj, michael
jackson, king of pop, king, pop, bad, dangerous, music, r&b, off the
wall, history, thriller, scream, invincible, gloria brown, rahul s
johari, album, songs, grammy, awards, you rock my world, cry, black or
white, world, earth, pop, mp3, guestbook, mailing list, directory,
guide, countries, sites, websites, list, site" name=Keywords>
I have tried a lot of things.. moved the incude function to the top,
given all HTML statements in echo .. things like that.. nothing has
worked so far.

In the entire php code? Or the part till the include function? Because
there is no white space there.. the entire php code is pretty lengthy..

Glory Daryl!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
AT LAST!!!
After 48 hours, countless emails, and so many heads .. finally!! It
works!! Your suggestion worked!!!
It was actually a login() function that was calling.. I moved that to
the top, alongwith the include function.. and the errors were gone!! I
thought if I did do that, probably the contents would also move up above
the HTML coding to the top of the page in display.. but that didn't
happen.. so it worked out fine! I got a lot of advise and suggestions,
but I didn't get this one, about moving the function itself..
Gosh! Thank you so much man.. you're a miracle.

Hi, I've got the following code:
<?php
$instan = new Java("DBUser");
echo "$instan";
$system = new Java("java.util.Vector");
echo"$system ";
?>
If I comment one of the two java object lines, I get no error.
If I use'em both, It creates a nasty error message, after which
php.exe is closed down.
Has any of you an idea on how to solve this?
thx

Yes, I need the key to remain associated with the value as the key links the
value to a directory. Can't have files going into the wrong places. So if
asort does the job, I'll try that and see if the code breaks or not.

Hi,
I am looking for a solution that will allow full text search of M$Office
files (Word, Powerpoint, EXCEL), PDF, HTML and Text files.
I am working on a project that involves uploading of the above files to a
server. After uploading, the Users should be able to search for key words or
phrases in the file. The search should throw up a list like the ones we get
on Google.
Should I use Open Source Search Engines such as HTDig, Swish or Namazu? Can
these be integrated into a PHP application? I would appreciate it very much
if someone could provide me with some information on this.
Best Regards
Feroze

Because I wanted to be able to generate dynamically generated styles.
And, while I realize I can just "include" the document in theory @import
should work exactly as expected.
The problem turned out to be that having default_mimetype text/html set
in php.ini seemed to be overriding any attempt I made to set the mime
type to text/css via the header function. I thought you are supposed to
be able to over ride the global configs via ini_set or that defining the
mime type via header() would over ride it on a per file basis but
apparently not or at least not for me... Still trying to figure out why,
but, it is working now..

Hi,
I've a login script that works fine on my local server, but when I runs it
from my ISP I get the following error:
Warning: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output

It could be a warning in your script. On your local server, maybe you have
error reporting set to minimal (ie. don't report warnings), whereas the ISP
server might have it turned up higher by default.
near the top of your script reporter_view.php put in the line
error_reporting(E_ALL); ie.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
.... PHP code
?>
Maybe line 5 is causing a warning? After you have error_reporting on full
you may be able to solve the problem on your local server.
For more info checkout error_reporting() on php.net

To eliminate Local Accounts, and so that they don't have to upload files
via ftp or ssh.
Plain ftp is very unsecure, and using a secure ftp server can be very
confusing to less advanced users. Also if a user wants to edit web pages
on their lunch hour, they may be behind a corporate firewall that will not
allow them to connect to a secure ftp server, or use ssh, but http is
always available.

Bleh. I hope you're not charging for this service, because every time a
service provider has forced me to use a web-based file upload system for
anything more than one or two files, rather than something clean, quick and
to the point like FTP, I've turned away really quick.
Can you imagine trying to update 10 or even 100 files via a web based file
upload system? Every file has to be selected from it's own file input. You
were talking about confusion? I'd say this takes the cake.
Also, I wouldn't use "Plain ftp is very unsecure" as an argument, because so
is http, and I can only imagine how much slower this sort of app would run
under https.
If this is something free you're offering, geocities style, then that's
fine, but on a paid-for service, there is a certain level of simplicity and
speed which users expect. FTP being the obvious answer.

I wanted to attach one more point (esp. since this is an ecomm solution),
you should also check your POST variables (in addition to the GET varaibles)
to make sure they are clean and what are expected. It's not that hard to
change posted values.

In PHP there are two operators for comparisons, the double and triple
equivalance.
Double equivalance just check's the boolean type so if (0 == 'n') is
translated to if (False == False), where as triple equivalance checks the
data types as well so if (0==='n') becomes if (Int(False)==String(False))
but since the data types don't match that would be False.
to get a better reference check PHP.net for 'Bolean Types' , because I
think I dodn't explain the double equivalance right, and also it will
clarify situations of the Null type.

You got pretty close, but not quite. :) In the case of the equality
operator '==', there is nothing specific to do with boolean evaluation
going on. It just converts the string to its integer value implicitly
before checking for equality, and according to the string->integer
conversion rules, the string ends up being (int) 0 so the whole thing
matches.
Also, it might be easier to think about the identical operator '===' as
just testing whether two values are identical, meaning that they are
both of the same type, and that they both have the same value.
More information:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.conversion
...in fact, the whole 'Language' section of the manual has a bunch of
stuff on this.
Hope this helps,
Torben

OK, normally I do not respond to my own posts, but I have been shown that I
did not get the whole script. So here it is:
for ($i=0; $i<$number_of_alerts; $i++) {
// Split each line
$line = explode(" ", $ipfwlog[$i]);
$line[1] = intval($line[1]);
$IPFWsql = "INSERT INTO Firewall_Logs (month, date, time, fw_name, kernel,
fw_engine, rule_number, action, protocol, src_ip_port, dst_ip_port,
direction, via, interface) VALUES ('$line[0]', '$line[1]', '$line[2]',
'$line[3]', '$line[4]', '$line[5]', '$line[6]','$line[7]', '$line[8]',
'$line[9]', '$line[10]', '$line[11]', '$line[12]')";
$results = mysql_query($IPFWsql) or die ("Could not execute query");
}
Again, any help with this issue is appreciated.

It depends on what data types are your fields in the database. U are
quoting each value which might not be the case. You should check the
mysql_error function to see what error the database is giving back to
you..

Hi,
After a new user has filled in a form to register for my site, I check
that she has entered the same password twice by calling a homemade
function. Like this:
$u_pwd = validate_password($_POST['u_pwd'],$_POST['u_pwd1']);
And the function looks like this:
function validate_password($unchecked_password1, $unchecked_password2,
$errortype = 1, $errormessage = "Password must contain just letters and
figures.") {
if(!($unchecked_password1 == $unchecked_password2)) {
error("Passwords entered doesn't match!");
}
if(!ereg("(^[a-zA-ZåÅäÄöÖ0-9]{6,15}$)", $unchecked_password2)) {
if($errortype == 1) {
error($errormessage);
}
Return 1;
}
}
I have verified that $_POST['u_pwd'] and $_POST['u_pwd1'] as well as
$unchecked_password1 and $unchecked_password2 contains the entered values,
but $u_pwd is empty.
Why?
As with my previous problems this evening, it works on my local server,
but not on my ISP's. At home I'm running Windows 2000 and PHP 4.3.1, while
my ISP is on SunOS 5.7 with PHP 4.1.1.

AFAIK in PHP, if you don't specifically return something from a function, the
function will not return anything.

True. I'm so frustrated over here that I miss the most obvious things.

Are there any big differences in session handling between 4.1.1 and 4.3.1
of PHP. Almost nothing works like it should since I have moved my site from
my local server (4.3.1 on Win2000) to my ISP (4.1.1 on SunOS 5.7).
I just started to dump my four $_SESSION-variables on top of every page,
and to my big suprise they changes all the time.
At login is store the users userid in $_SESSION['u_id']. At later times,
I'm working with $_POST['u_id'] when for example changing administrators
for different parts of the site. When I'm doing this, also
$_SESSION['u_id'] changes.
And at my localhost, $_SESSION's stays put.
I'm going crazy here.

I would also advise to check for register_globals, since I have the
faint feeling it was OFF on your old version and ON in your new (though
most logcial would be viceversa :P)

register_globals are on in 4.1.1 and off in 4.3.1. So, your faint feeling
was wrong (which I'm sorry for, cause any feeling that helps me, no matter

I have been writing PHP for almost a year now and someone on phpfreaks told
me the other day that my code was very sloppy.
Since I want to more more into programming than design, can anyone

as error-free as it can get? Even if it is the style of how to write the
code, please let me know....I know noone can be the perfect programmer, but

Take a close look at OO programming. Class objects are great for reusing
code and making cleaner code. The art of designing code is a mastered art
which is why my white board is always messy ;) . Never the less, oject
oriented programming is definately the way to go. Chapter 6 in the PHP and
MySQL Web Development book has great real world examples on how class
objects relate to one another.
Lots of Luck!

On ZEND are some articles that you could read, but always keep in mind
these are _opinions_ , and even though they are very _educated_ opinions,
you may have a reason to do it your way anyway. Think independent. (this
goes for all mentioned links)
Top 21 PHP Programming Mistakes:
Part I: Seven Textbook Mistakes:

Part 2: Seven Serious Mistakes:
http://www.zend.com/zend/art/mistake1.php
Part 3: Seven Deadly Mistakes:
http://www.zend.com/zend/art/mistake2.php
Some basic PHP guidelines, very basic but still often forgotten, e.g. with
the single and double quotes:
http://www.evolt.org/article/PHP_Guidelines/17/26440/?format=print
An example of a strict coding style, very important when more people work
together, so variables names are consistent, indents look the same on
everybodies editor, and so on:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.php (pretty strict)
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20010101.php3 (with a lot of explanations)
Just another one on coding style:

Google has 129.000 hits on 'coding style php'.
Then there are off course also helpful pages on how to organize a larger
PHP project. But i lost them links... which shows in my code :(

I'd just like to put in a word for refactoring - improving working code
without adding new functionality - as a learning tool. Take a script you
wrote a few months back, read the code, then write it again. Try to identify
common functionality and extract it into external functions to be reused.
Make functions more generic, remove magic numbers. Seperate business logic
and display elements. Consider what could go wrong, and how your script will
fail when it does.
You might be surprised at how much of an improvement you can make just
moving from v1 to v2.

At some places, I was using $_SESSION['u_uname'] as variable name, at other
$_SESSION['uname']. Changing to $_SESSION['uname'] through all my
accesscontrol.php solved the problem. Now it works on my ISP's server.
Question is, though: Why does the faulty script work on my localhost? Next
step is to try the script that work at my ISP's server at my localhost. ;-)

I hope someone can put this to rest for good, cause this is just
bullshit. Every time I try to do something using any thing other than
the root directory of my website - I get these stupid path problems.
Here is the problem this time. First off I am not using frames (if it
matters) and this particular site is on Windows 2000. The website
resides in d:\Apache\htdocs\supreme and in this directory I have a .js
file for my drop-down menu - there is also another file which I am
including using the php include directive called menu.inc. The graphics
for the menu are in a directory called images. When I go to the main
page of the site everything is great, but as soon as I try to get the
menu to work from another directory it can't find the graphics.
I have tried d:\Apache\htdocs\supreme\image.gif.
I have tried http://www.mysite.com/images/image.gif.
I have tried ../file.js (this is to load the menu)
I have even tried putting menu.inc in my php include directory.
You get the picture - but no matter what I try it just doesn't work. I
mean really - is this that hard to figure out. Like this is every time I
work on a site I get these path problems. Am I just not getting
something here.
Other than putting everything in the root directory (which I don't want
to do) I have no idea how to solve this. It just gives me a headache.

Try escaping your paths with double slashes, ie,
d:\\Apache\\htdocs\\supreme\\image.gif or
d://Apache//htdocs//suprem//image.gif
might work.

Yes you can. I'm currently writing a script that uses php to pull info
in from a mysql db and passes the results back to flash as xml.
Don't ask me how the flash part works though, i don't do that part.

Yes you can. I'm currently writing a script that uses php to pull info
in from a mysql db and passes the results back to flash as xml.
Don't ask me how the flash part works though, i don't do that part.

Well, at least I know its possible. Im guessing that an action script of
some kind pulls the the xml data and displays the new information or button.
I wish that you could just pass it directly to the flash object, that would
be nice....

Some news on PCRE front:
1. I've upgraded the bundled PCRE library to version 4.3 which has some
interesting new features.
2. I added new parameter to preg_match* functions that can be used to
specify the starting offset of the subject string to start matching
from. The offset can be positive or negative, like for substr().
3. Also implemented support for named subpatterns (introduced with PCRE
4.3). This means you can do something like:
<?
preg_match('!(\d+)(?P<ahh>\.\d+)?!', 'ab 55.5 bb', $match);
var_dump($match);
?>
With the result being:
array(4) {
[0]=>
string(4) "55.5"
[1]=>
string(2) "55"
["ahh"]=>
string(2) ".5"
[2]=>
string(2) ".5"
}
Note that the named subpattern is also available under a positional
numeric key, as before. What this means for backwards compatibility
is that you should not do count($match) anymore to obtain the number
of captured subpatterns or number of matches. For latter, use the
return value of preg_match* functions, and for former, you should
already know how many subpatterns you have from your regexp.
4. You can use \Q..\E to ignore regexp metacharacters in the pattern.
For example:
!\w+\Q.$.\E$!
Will match one or more word characters, followed by literals .$. and
anchored at the end of the string.
5. You can use possesive quantifiers, similar to Java's regexps. These
are:
?+, *+, ++, and {,}+
See PCRE docs or Java docs for more information.
6. There is now support for recursive calls to individual subpatterns.
That is, instead of using (?R) you can use (?1), (?2) and so on. Or
use named subpatterns: (?P>foo) will refer recursively to named
subpattern 'foo'. Once again see PCRE docs for more info.
7. There is a new feature by the name of "callouts", but there is not
interface to it yet. Basically, it allows user to receive control at
a specified matching point in the pattern and inspect, continue, or
interrupt the matching. I'm not sure how useful this would be for PHP
users as the information provided is fairly low-level. See
'pcrecallout' PCRE man page for more info. If there are enough
interested people, I will add support for it.
That's about it for now.
