Subject: [PHP] Includes inside includes
| I've written a class that is calling an include
| function to include a setup file. The problem is that
| the setup file is in another directory than the class.
| I'm including the file using:
|
| include ("../common/setup.inc");
|
| Is there a way that i can make the relative path
| inside the class definition specific to the class
| definition, not the page that is including the class
| definition. I have trouble when I include the class
| definition. I get an error that it cannot include
| "../common/setup.ini" whenever the class is called
| from a directory above common.
|
| I hope this makes sense. and thanks for your help.

hello list,
I have a problem with file integrity in my url.
I try to force download file with the following script:
------------------------------------------------------------
$sFile = $dSession['DOWNLOAD'][$id][$type];
if (is_file($sFile))
{
header("Content-disposition: attachment;
filename=".basename($sFile));
header("Content-Type: force-download");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($sFile));
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate,
post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Expires: 0");
readfile($sFile);
}
-------------------------------------------------------------
nothing very hard to understand, but
if I try to donwload the file with a ftp application, CRC checksum is
different from file download with this script (there is only one file to
download in the folder read, it's not a bad file read).
have you an idea to fix this?
thanks in advance for your help
best regards
Matthieu

Hi everyone,
I would like to know if there is a way to extend the limit of 255
characters when using the Levenshtein Function?
I have used user-defined functions such levdis and xlevdist but they
often take too much time.
Thanks in advance.

Hello everybody.
Well, i'm trying to avoid access to the site for the middle. Say there
is a initial page with a form and other pages that depends on this. Is
there a way to force users access the site thru the initial form page,
regardless of the url?
Something like this:
lynx http://mysite/forma2.php/
produce the browser to redirect to
http://mysite/index.php/
Of course, the forma2.php must be served if its accesed after index.php.
Thanks

There are several ways to do this. The most obvious is with cookies.
Set up your index.php to initially create a cookie that authorizes a
user to look in the site. On the rest of your PHP pages, check that
this authorization cookie exists. If not, redirect to index.php.

Thanks for the response.
No, this way don't do it: once the cookie is set up in the client's browser, there is
no way for me to prevent the client to type the url pointing to another page, and the
cookie will be valid on that page.
What i'm trying to do is to force the client to travel pages in the
order expected, forbidding him/her to access a page out of sequence,
wich take him to an error message (because, for example, for abscense of
POST data or something).
So i'm stuck.
Thenak you.

Cookies are a possibility but not always functional. Many people have them shut off,
or services like WebTV do not support them. Two other possibilities are seccions and
POST variables.
_SESSIONS_
forma2.php
if((!isset($_SESSION["username"]) || (!isset($_SESSION["password"])) {
header("Location:index.php");
}
__ POST __
// check to make sure username and password are entered and if so, they must match
account
if ((!$_POST["username"]) || (!$_POST["password"]) || ($_POST["username" != "myuser")
|| ($_POST["password"] != "mypassword"])) {
header("Location:index.php");
}

Thanks, Jim.
Yes, i'm doing something like that: i'm propagating a string thru
$_SESSION that is set up in the first page and is valid until session
expires or init page is reloaded.
But i think that may be another (and better) way to do this, and can't
figure out how.

Not really. It depends on how you use your cookie. The cookie could be
some unique ID to some session-based system (whether you use PHP session
functions or not) that keeps a track of where the user is. So let's say
the user did the right thing, went to index.php, got a cookie, and went
to the next page (let's say forma1.php). Your session system notes that
the user is currently on forma1.php. But the same user gets distracted,
does not go through the form normally, leaves for a few hours, and then
tries to return but jump directly to forma2.php. Your session system
realizes that he's not supposed to be there, and kicks him out to
whereever you want him.

You are right. I'm using $_SESSION vars to do this, but i don't like it
because forces cookies enable in the client, and today many people
disable cookies.
In the other hand, $_POST vars are not very secure.
i'm looking for a clean solution, and can't figure out how.
So the question in first place would be: how you guys do it?.
Nevermind, this is not big deal. The aproach i've take works, but you
are experienced people and i'm not, and i'm very interested in the way
you're using to solve problems like this ones.
So thanks a lot.
