----------------------------------------------------------------------

I've searched the archives and relevant web sites to no avail, so as a 
last resort I'm turning to this knowledgeable group of people.

I'm working to set up a user authentication system using native PHP 4 
sessions on a box running Apache, mod_perl, mod_ssl, PHP (the lastest), 
etc.

PHP was compiled with the following options:

'./configure' '--with-sybase-ct=/usr/local/freetds' 
'--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/lib' '--with-
apache=../apache_1.3.19' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-memory-
limit=yes'

Here's the problem:
The browser is redirected by Apache (in the current setup, which for 
other reasons won't be changed) from a URL like 
http://somebody.com/foo/bar to a URL like https://somebody.com/bar.

I have had no luck getting sessions, session ids, HTTP_POST_VARS, etc to 
successfully survive the redirect when the user moves between pages in 
the site. (passing variables through the url works, but we need 
something more secure than that).

My feeling is that I'm missing something obvious. Cookies are enabled 
and working. I can start sessions and store variables, but only within 
one page. Once the user goes through a redirect (to the same server), 
everything is lost. It doesn't _seem_ like this should be a limitation 
of PHP, but maybe it is.

Can anyone help clarify this?

Thanks,
Andrew Elliston

I don't know 100& for sure, but I believe since it is going to an https
link, it considers it a new domain(or something) and that's why the sessions
aren't persisting.  The same thing happens if you redirect from say
www.domain.com to www2.domain.com.  I odn't know any way around it, except
encoding, passing in URL and decoding on the other side.

Hi Andrew,

I`m not sure if switching from http to https will count as a *new* domain, 
but here is a link to some information which may solve your problem. 

http://phpbuilder.com/columns/chriskings20001128.php3

HTH 
Ade

I had this same problem and it constantly broke our whole site.
So I tried a different approach and this has been working great:

Instead of <? header ("Location: sometoherpage.php"); ?>

Consider:  <? include "someotherpage.php"; ?>

It works flawlessly, always, and maintains your session.

Because my site ( a shopping cart/store ) is so dependent on sessions, I 
stopped using redirects and "Location: " functions entirely.

We just use <? include "..." ?> now and all sessions work 
wonderfully.  Even without cookies, etc.

H-

Well here's a pattern replace issue which I've been working on without
success hence the post. 8^) 

I have a variable that has stuff in it (tree, bird, nest, )(yes there is
a trailing space)

What I'd like to do is strip off the last ', ' and replace it with a
single space so that I have 
(tree, bird, nest )

I thought I had it with a simple substr_replace but it only returned my
replace character. 

I thought that ereg_replace would work but got infinitly lost with the
[]\s(.) stuff. 

If I was in perl I'd do something like (s/,.$/ /ig). I think. Never
fully grasped the pattern stuff anyway. 8^/

But anywhoo... if anyone has any ideas send them along. Any help would
be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks. 
-Sterling

H-

Thanks to those that emailed. 

$query = "tree, bird, nest, ";
$new = substr($query,0,2);

Doesn't seem to work. It returns "tr". 

I think maybe I should also mention that to get this variable I have an
array that is placed through a for loop 
// file://loop through array
 for($i = 0;$i <$num;$i++){
   print $fields[$i] . "<br>";
   $query .= "$fields[$i], ";
  }

That's where I get $query from. It's been returned from a multiple
select via a web form. 
I want to format this selected data into a query string so I can plug it
into a SQL statement. 

Thanks for the input and if any one has any thoughts on the subject
appreciate the assistance. 
-Sterling

If this is the case, then all you need is this:

$query .= implode( ", ", $fields );

This will do exactly what you want...

H-

Thanks for the emails and reply. 

Someone mentioned substr and after first failing with the attempt I went
to the PHP site and looked it up. 

Here's code that works for what I'm trying to do. 
$test = "tree, bird, nest, ";
$new = substr($test, 0, strlen($test)-2);
$new = "$new ";

Appreciate nudges in the right directions. 
-Sterling

Also consider something like :

<?php
  $var = 'a,b,c,';

  $var[strrpos($var,',')] = ' ';

  print $var;             // 'a,b,c '
?>

The idea behind it is similar to this :

<?php
  $s = 'abcabc';          // define our string

  $s[1] = 'z';            // change second character in $s to 'z'

  print $s;               // azcabc

  $key = strrpos($s,'c'); // 5 (pos of last 'c' in string $s)

  print $s[$key];         // c

  $s[$key] = 'z';         // change sixth character in $s to z

  print $s;               // azcabz
?>

Info to know :

  strrpos()  : Find position of last occurrence of a char in a string 

  strpos()   : Find position of first occurrence of a char in a string 

Looks like you found substr() , it helps out for these sorts of things
too :)  If anyone has more information on this subject, please post.


Regards,

Philip

Hi!

    Can anyone tell me what the difference with those PHP version?  I see
the version, "PHP 4.0.4pl1" with a "pl1" and some other version, "PHP 4.0.4"
without a "pl1".  Does either of these version had to do with php.ini file?

Thanks,
 Scott

pl refers to patch level.  thus 4.0.4.pl1 is newer and more current then 4.0.4

Hi!

  When the website have a script error, it display the error message (sort
of a debugging error).  What I don't like about that error message is that
it display the include_path comments.

Warning: Failed opening '../dp_banner_menu_final1_support.php' for inclusion
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php.ini') in
/home/website/test_knowledge_base/support/tech_support.php on line 10

  The comment with "(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php.ini')".  It would
tell people where the the php.ini file is and would encourage somebody to
hack into it.

  What can I do about it?

  Would I be better off with using the PHP x.xx.xx pl1???? instead of PHP
x.xx.xx?

Thanks,
 Scott

If you have permission to modify php.ini, see the setting "display_errors"
and the attached comments. You can tell PHP to write these error messages to
a log file instead of to the browser.

If I make a change to my php.ini file, once I re-upload it do I need to 
restart the server or something as none of my changes are taking place?

Yes, the php.ini files is read when apache start.

You need to convert all the times you are comparing into a number such as
seconds since the Unix epoch (Jan 1, 1970 I think).  Then you can use the
usual programming syntax to do what you want.

Look here for more ideas:

Hello all.

We've set up a moderated email group at Yahoo! to be a PHP jobs
resource.
This list is primarily intended to be a place for employers or people
with PHP projects
to post their requirements with contact info.  It will be moderated to
prevent
spam and other extraneous emails and keep the focus of the group on PHP
jobs.

I invite you all to join up at

Hi,
 
I'm using IE 5.01 to upload a big (~50MB) file to a form.
 
The form works well for small files.
If I try a big file, IE timeout after 30 seconds
saying "cannot find server or DNS error"
This same exact php code works for small files...
 
I've modified php.ini to
max_execution_time = 120
memory_limit = 104857600                ; Maximum amount of memory a script
may consume (100MB)
post_max_size = 100M
upload_tmp_dir  =        /tmp               ; temporary directory for HTTP
uploaded files (will use system default if not specified)
/tmp has 1GB free
upload_max_filesize = 104857600       ; 100 Meg default limit on file
uploads

I've verified this through the php info function.
 
I'm running Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) PHP/4.0.3pl1 on a Solaris 2.6 sparc server.
 
MS Internet Explorer 5.01 keeps timing out after 30 seconds...
 
Any ideas ?

This is set by max_execution_time, did you restart apache to re-read your
php.ini file?

  Hi Clayton,

  As I was writing, I confirmed every variable change
by a phpinfo() page.

  Yes, to enforce changes in the php.ini file,
I stop and start the whole apache...

Hello,

You can use set_time_limit(); at the top of your script to set the max time
limit.  set_time_limit(0); will let it go forever, as I do not recommend
this until you test the script and know the it doesn't have an endless loop
or what not.

example:
<?

set_time_limit(0);
echo "test";

?>

Hi,

i have a mysql table with the fields name and categorie.
on my page search.php is a search mask where the visitor
can insert a miscellaneous keyword.

this keyword should be the categorie.

basicly, how can i handle the problem,
that the visitors keyword shows an output with all
the entrys in the database where the keyword=categorie or
how can i make links to defined categories?

i know how i can make simple queries in php but i couldn't find anything in
the web
for making this.

thanks in advance.
denis

What is the layout of your table, the names of fields etc.

By the way, is it just one table?

If you provide me with this information, I think I will be able to solve
your problem...

Hi,

I'm doing the exact same thing as you and I got the exact same problem. After
getting almost crazy with trying everything possible to run a script as root,
someone told me that I'm limited to the server permission. So I decided to
simply create a java deamon wich run as root. This deamon wait on a port for
commands (encrypted) to be executed.via fsockopen(...).  Surprisly, it was
easy and it work prety well...

Hope it helps

I do a similar thing on my machines, only instead of having a java daemon
that runs as root I chose to create a database that the php script can
insert user and other information into, then a perl script that is called
from cron that fetches from the database and does the necessary user adds.

This is a nice system for adding users to many systems at once for a network
that is not running NIS, as all of the linux machines on my network can
fetch data from the database and add the users as necessary.

I don't, however, trust the security of this implementation, and only use it
on our internal network that sits behind a firewall.   I'd recommend that
you take the same precaution.

Hi!  I have this weird thing happening here and I just can't see the problem.
Can someone look at this and tell me if you see what is wrong?
Below is a code snippet I am using and the output from the code.  As can
be seen in the output all the $config[*] stuff are set.  The if statement still
gets executed though as if one or more $config[*] isn't set.  Inside of the
if statement I checked again and sure enough, they are still set even though
the program makes it into the if statement.
I am so confused.

Thanks in advance!

What are you wanting to print?  Here's a set of examples that may help
understand what's happening with your code.  In short, isset() is not
being used properly.

// if $var is set, this will return 1. if not set then it will return 0.
// essentially, you don't want to print this directly as you've seen, it
// gives us 1 or 0.
isset($var)

// these checks check for true.
  if ( isset($var) == true ) {
      print 'this is set';
  }

  if ( isset($var) == 1 ) {
      print 'this is set';
  }

  if ( isset($var) ) {
      print 'this is set';
  }

// these checks check for false.
  if ( isset($var) == false ) {
      print 'this is not set';
  }

  if ( isset($var) == 0 ) {
      print 'this is not set';
  }

  if ( !isset($var) ) {
      print 'this is not set';  
  }

// This will check whether $var is empty but this way causes error if
// error_reporting setting E_NOTICE is on (undefined variable)
  if ($var) {
      print 'this is set';
  }

Which brings us to empty(), empty is similar to isset, here's an example
of difference :

  $var = 0;

  if ( empty($var) ) {
      print 'this will print if $var is not set,0, or empty "" ';
  }

  if ( isset($var) ) {
      print 'this is set, could be set to anything, including 0 or "" ';
  }

Wow this got long, hopefully it makes sense :)

philip

    Is there a better way to write the following snippet:

    if ($priority == "000") {
      $fcol="high";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"000\" selected>High\n";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"050\">Medium\n";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"100\">Low\n";
    } elseif ($priority == "050") {
      $fcol="med";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"000\">High\n";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"050\" selected>Medium\n";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"100\">Low\n";
    } else {
      $fcol="low";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"000\">High\n";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"050\">Medium\n";
      $pstr .= "<option value=\"100\" selected>Low\n";
    }

    I just hate having to repeat pieces of code.  This piece here just
generates a drop down list of items, with the current one being the
selected one.

One thing I would do different is:

switch ($fcol){

case 000:

break;

case 050:

break;

default:

break;
}

To me the switch/case code is easier to read/maintain.

I know that doesn't actually solve your repetition problem but it will make
it a little easier to look at.

you can use switch statements:

switch($priority){
        case 000:
                code here
                break;
        case med:
                more code
                break;
        default:
                in case none match use default

$val = array("000","050","100");
$val_name = array("Low","Medium","High");
$count = count($val);
$counter = 0;
while ($counter < $count)
{
        if ($val[$counter] == $priority)
        {
                $selected = " selected";
        }
        echo "<option
value=\"$val[$counter]\"$selected>$val_name[$counter]</option>";
        $counter++;
}

Make sure you reset $selected at the end of the while loop.

if HTML readability is a concern you can also do something like the 
following( for static lists I find it easier this way ):

<?php $priority_selected[$priority] = 'SELECTED'; ?>
<SELECT NAME="priority">
         <OPTION VALUE="000" <?php echo($priority_selected['000'])?>>Low
         <OPTION VALUE="050" <?php echo($priority_selected['050'])?>>Medium
         <OPTION VALUE="100" <?php echo($priority_selected['100'])?>>High
</SELECT>

Not quite... You need to reset $selected so that you don't end up with them
all being selected when $priority="000". It's a pretty clever idea, though.

I've rearranged stuff a bit to make it look prettier, and to match the
original functionality closer. Nothing personal, but I can't stand it when
people use while for stuff that looks prettier as a for. =)

$val = array("000","050","100");
$val_name = array("High","Medium","Low");
$fcol_name = array("high","med","low");
$count = count($val);
for ($counter = 0; $counter < $count; $counter++) {
 $selected = "";
 if ($val[$counter] == $priority) {
  $selected = " selected";
  $fcol = fcol_name[$counter];
 } //if
 $pstr .= "<option
value=\"$val[$counter]\"$selected>$val_name[$counter]</option>\r\n";
} //while

Yeah, someone mentioned that after I posted it, then I took a shotgun to my
foot..haha.  Yeah, well, hey, I release that code as a Beta Version anyways!
=)

Yes, good ole' for, though I have been so inundated with while() that it
just comes naturally.  Hey, at least I don't printf() people to death!

Hi all,

We're all familiar with the skanky little box the web browser pops up to
get your username/password in response to a 401 from the web server.  What
I want is the same functionality, except through a login web page instead.

I know how cookie-based or session-based logging in works with PHP, but I
would actually prefer (since it's more general) an HTML-only solution if
there is one.  Or maybe there's something I can do to configure the server
(Apache) to redirect to a login page if a 401 is generated.  

Anyt thoughts?  Help would be much appreciated.

HI
    I have a directory that works like this.
The owner of each listing in the directory clicks on a little box 
that appears before their name and info in the directory.
An Enter User Name and Password page is shown ( a simple form, can 
look as you like)
    The imbedded listing number is used to find their data record. The 
input user name and password is compared to the saved versions - if 
they match, an edit form is opened. If not, "Try again".
It works well. No magic.
    p.s. the test looks for a match of a 'master' user name and 
password first. If this is used, the refresh shows the related 
specific user name and password in the input boxes. This provide an 
easy look-up function.

I'm having a problem with using cookies and flash.

When I pointed that the problem was _with_ cookie and flash, is when I
resolv the same program using a pure HTML interface.

The exact problem, is that the session number, keep on changing when
working with the flash interfase. This flash interfase, is not realising
that it already has a session, a cookie, and a couple of varibles; and
keep on creating again them every time it returns to the php code.

Using a short example, lets say that I have a Flash that calls a php that
executes a "print $session" when the user clicks on a flash button. Every
time that the user clicks on the flash, the session variable keeps on
changing.

What I would like to know, if is some has had a similar problem, or point
me in some direction where I can get some more information about working
with cookie & flash.

Arrrgh,

Something went haywire with my site a little while ago, can somebody tell me why I'm getting:

Warning: Failed opening 'themes/JET/theme.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/etc/httpd/conf/php:/home/www/web:/home/www/websites/acxiom/phonebook/phplib/php:/home/www/web/plug-ins/phpweather') in /home/www/web/header.php on line 46

I don't know why it doesn't see the file, it's there.

I tried putting it in the include path even, no such luck.

I'm dying here, please help asap :-)

So, I went back through my command line history and found the culprit, if
anyone's interested....

I typed:
chmod 666 file.php *

When I should have typed
chmod 666 file.php*

Damn, I love Unix :-)

Be thankful it was chmod, not something interesting like, say, rm -r :-)

And imagine if you were also superuser, in the / directory :-) :-)

does anyone know how to pass values in javascript variables to php
variables?? Or a workaround if no direct solution...

what exactly are you trying to do? pass variables to a php script? then
use a form with POST or GET...not that simple? describe better what
you're doing then...

I don't think any of the responses you got took into account email addresses
like [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If you truely just want domain.tld it's a little
more complex.  I happened to have written a script a few months ago that
does what you want.  Even if you don't need something this complex in your
case, my code uses 5 or 6 string functions and arrays so it's a pretty good
example of how to manipulate strings in PHP.

<?php
// Expecting a properly formatted email address.
$string_in = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';

// strpos() finds position of '@' character.
// substr() returns portion of email address to the
// right of '@' (the host).
$string_tmp = substr( $string_in, strpos( $string, '@' ) + 1 );

// substr_count() returns the # of occurrences of '.' within the host.
$dot_count = substr_count( $string_tmp, '.' );

// If only one dot was found, we're done.
if ( $dot_count == 1 )
{
    $string_out = $string_tmp;
}
// If more than one dot was found, there's more to do.
else
{
// explode() splits the host into elements of an array.
// The elements are the portions of the string between the dots.
$parts = explode( '.', $string_tmp );

// count() returns the number of elements.  We want the
// last 2 elements.  Since the array elements begin at 0, not 1,
// we need to get elements n-2 and n-1, not n-1 and n, which
// might normally be expected.
$string_out = $parts[count( $parts ) - 2] . '.' . $parts[count( $parts ) -
1];
}

// print the desired output.
echo $string_out;

Hi,

I'm new to PHP (well I used it years ago), and have been using Perl ever
since.

Someone told me that PHP is a lot more efficient than Perl, is this true ? I
am developing a fairly large website using a MySQL database running on a
cobalt RAQ3 server and so the speed of the scripts must be kept to a
minimum.  I have already started the site using Perl, but would it benefit
me to change to PHP4.

Thanks,
David.

Normally we try to keep our speeds to a maximum, which is why we use PHP.  :)

It would not benefit you to change if you already know perl and have your
project
done in it.  If it's a real project with a deadline, just do it with what you
know best.
That's probably the best route.  BUT... if you've time, dig into PHP4.  Maybe it

can help on this, or maybe it'll help in the future.  It really just depends on
what
you want to do, and what you're comfortable with.

someone recently posted a link to a benchmark test that was
done...there's never an absolute, but i do remember php w/zend as pretty
much whipping the competition...search the mailing list for the link if
you want to see for yourself...

hi,

the best way to do this from a webserver (apache module) is to make php 
write some script that crond later executes as root (or some other user).

anyway, you should triple check everything for security bugs... and 
three times isn't enough :)

not sure though

You could use sessions with arrays...there's been a discussion recently
about arrays in sessions, and some good sample code...checkout the list
archives...
if you didn't want to use sessions you could just keep passing one large
array to your different php scripts and then passing that into your
database at the end when you're done...

i know for multiple type values you can pass an array of info like this:
<input type="text" name="array[]">
someone also recently posted something about this and passing an array;
try a search for that...
the other possibility is to just pass a long string with | as separators
then explode it later on before you submit...
like perl, TMTOWTDI

After being eye-ball deep in documentation 8 hrs a day trying to learn how
to do things with MySQL, Interbase, PHP, and CSS.. This list certinaly is a
god-send.  Not only do questions that are posted GET ANSWERED (questions
i've asked in other groups have a tendancy to go un-answered *pout*), but
the diversity of people give many possible soltutions.

Only problem I have is the 103,000 messages in the group on the news server
*cringe*..

Shhh!  Don't complain about that or someone will start thinking it's a good 
idea to start expiring the old messages like other news admins do (wow is 
that a terrific archive of links, solutions, ideas, examples, and much 
other useful know-how).

I'm not complaining that they are all there, I use the news reader to search
through 'em all.

Just complaining that my lil 'ol PII in the office takes 3-4 minutes to load

Two things come to mind: echo your $AddColQuery to ensure you are getting 
what you hope you are getting :-) and use mysql_error() after you run 
mysql_query on your query, to see if there is an error message being 
returned.

Hello,

Is it possible to have PHP resize an image on the server?

Example.
If I upload a JPG file at about 40KB at 600x480 Resolution, but I only want
to display it as a small thumbnail. But if clicking the thumbnail it then
opens in a new window the full size version.

I have seen a auction site that I use, which is ASP and when I upload an
image to sell, i notice that it gives the thumbnail and the full size
images. How is this possible?

Any links to sites on this subject would excellent.

Perhaps i'm not following what you're trying to do, but why not
manipulate the height/width img tag attributes to make it look like a
thumbnail, but then when displaying it for real, take them out? there
definitely have been posts about this (as usual, check the archives) and
i'm sure a little searching through google will turn up some good
stuff...try the php sites too (phpbuilder, etc)

Because then you have to download the entire large image. 

Large images are bigger. :)

Jason

ok, so then read the image in using php's image functions, and use
imagecopyresized...you'll even find a post about thumbnails...

Using a GD that has GIF support, you can do this....

<?php

// we expect $scale and $image to be defined, having been passed to us via
// query string, e.g. http://www.foo.com/img.php3?image=test.gif&scale=4

// create an image object from the source file
$srcImg = imagecreatefromgif($DOCUMENT_ROOT . $image);

// create a (blank) smaller image object
$srcSize = getimagesize($DOCUMENT_ROOT . $image);
$dstImg = imagecreate($srcSize[0]/$scale, $srcSize[1]/$scale);

// copy and resize from the source image object to the smaller blank one
imagecopyresized($dstImg, $srcImg, 0, 0, 0, 0,
                  $srcSize[0]/$scale, $srcSize[1]/$scale,
                  $srcSize[0], $srcSize[1]);

// send the smaller image object to the browser
header( "Content-Type: image/gif");
imagegif($dstImg);

// clean up
imagedestroy($scrImg);
imagedestroy($dstImg);

?>

In a nutshell, you load the file into an array containing one line per 
element of the array.

You then work through the array until you find the line you want - if you 
know how many lines into the file it is you can of course directly 
reference the element (no_of_line -1 because the first array element is 
0).

Change the info you want.

Write the changed array back to the file. Coding is left as an exercise 
for the student :-)

Are you sure the user who is trying to create the user has permissions to
all the necessary files ( /etc/{passwd,group,shadow} ) etc. ?  Given that it
appears your on a linux box, are you using a kernel version that supposed
set{u,g}id apps?

few issues..

some more details as to how you are trying to use PHP would be helpful..

What is the best method for tracking a user through a website ?

I want to assign a username to a user which I can call up at anytime.
Should I use htaccess files and the systems environment variables, or
cookies ?

Cheers,
David.

We use the second model mentioned above.  Use the database to store paths
and file names, attributes and details of the files, but store the files on
the file-system.

Makes queries and searches simple (database calls), and only pull the data
fromt he file when needed.

The fact that the files happen to be gzipped to save disk usage is just a
side note..

I am reading in a comments file from a Perl program I have been using, and I
will be converting the comments' text files into a MySQL database...but that
is unimportant. In the files, I have something (after i strip_tags()) like
this:

Then I could parse it easier. So, I guess i need a regexp to remove all the
\n and :space: chars.

Here are some ideas:

$out=preg_replace("/\s+/","",$in); //strip whitespace

or

$out=preg_replace("/\s+/"," ",$in); //replace whitespace with single space

Note that you requested is different from your example, in which it looks 
like you are simply condensing multiple newlines down into a single 
newline.  For that, something like this might be more appropriate:

$out=preg_replace("/(\n|\r|\r\n)+/","\n",$in);

Play around with 'em. <g>

Wouldn't doing it like this however be ok:

    if ($result = mysql_query($query)) {
        ; success, have $result
        if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
            ; have data to play with
        } else {
            ; dont
        }
    } else {
        ; wasn't successful, don't have result

why do MS SQL reports errors so poorly on PHP?

you can do anything with those errors, they're useless... and the worse 
part is the actual important part of the error is in the warning, and not 
on the contents of mssql_get_last_message(), where they should be...

and, worse... mssql_query() returns false even when they query ran ok...

I have a script that runs a lot of queries that loads several 'alter 
tables' into mssql to create FKs... for some reason when the query is run 
it generates a warning like this: " Context changed to database 'LIQUID' ", 
which is not really an error, and the query is executed... but returns 
false... I don't consider this to be a bug... but there's certainly 
something wrong about error handling in mssql_db_functions*()...

PHP mFAQ

Addition # 32: why do MS SQL reports errors so poorly on PHP?

Because that is the way it is coded.  If something is wrong, fix it, or
report it to the right channels, but this is not the place to ask these
questions.

I have a document with <!--ktalk newpost--> in it, which I want to KEEP in
the document. (it's being read into $fp). How can I use strip_tags() to
remove all tags, but keep <!--ktalk newpost--> in the document? I tried

$filedata = strip_tags($filedata, "<!--ktalk newpost-->");

Then re-writing it to the file, but it still takes out the <!--ktalk
newpost--> tag! Please help!

Thanks,

trying to get Apache to compile with this keeps failing, complaining about
"alloc.h" it seems. I notice that apache calls it "ap_alloc.h" now, but the
only reference in mod_auth _mysql is in:

apMakefile.tmpl: $(INCDIR)/alloc.h $(INCDIR)/buff.h \

but changing that doesn't fix the problem...

this has been going on since like apache 1.3.1x and there is no newer
mod_auth_mysql that I've found. I fixed this before, but I can't remember
what I did. Could you please tell me how to fix this, and then put up a
fixed version of mod_auth_mysql so other's don't run into this problem?

apache 1.3.19, linux RH6.2, mysql, mod_auth_mysql 2.20:

your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. "

When did passing by reference get deprecated? The documentation at 
<http://php.net/manual/en/language.references.pass.php> doesn't suggest 
what to do instead--in fact, it uses an example like the syntax above.  So 
my next question is: would using a return value or declaring a global be 
the (only) other options?

I am using the apache_lookup_uri function and I am having a problem.

I have PHP4 as an Apache module.

If I give the command:


$link = "http://www.mysite.com/";

$lookup_results = apache_lookup_uri($link);


And I output:

echo $lookup_results->uri;
echo $lookup_results->status;

I get:

/http://www.mysite.com

(that is if the page that has the script is in document root)
and
a status of:

200


Even if the link is bad I get a status of 200.

Why is there a leading "/"?
Am I forming the the URI incorrectly and that is causing a prepend to the
link?

Any help would be great.  I have scanned the archives and various script
archives with no results.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

Ok, i have a text file with lines that looks like this:

14```value```value2`````value3

This would be fine, except...there are sometimes more ```` than in other
columns, so id like it to be

14``value``value2``value3

So I can explode() it into a mysql database. Can anyone offer a regexp for
this?

Thanks!

Hello,

For some reason I am now having real difficulties removing and parsing some XML
files.  I think that if I can just strip out the <? & ?> that I should be able
to parse the XML (.CDF) file.  This should do it:
        $pagetext = eregi_replace('<?','',$pagetext);
        $pagetext = eregi_replace('?>','',$pagetext);

I've attached the whole CDF file at the bottom of this message.  However, I
think that the following should strip out the offending part as well:
        $pagetext = eregi_replace('.*/TITLE>','',$pagetext);

Unfortunately, for some reason it just isn't working for me.  I have other
scripts working just fine using similar code (on the same page).  However, this
just isn't working for me today.  

Any suggestions on what I'm overlooking would be great.

Mike

I'm no regex guru but isn't the ? a special character? Try using 
str_replace instead; it should be quicker also.

Here is the scenario:

I want to let my users download their history of transactions from a mysql
database.  I have that part working...they click a link a csv file is
created for them to download.  now here is my question.

Is there a way to have the file delete after they have downloaded it?  Also
is there a way to have the file download as filename.csv but have the
actually file that is create named a random name of numbers and letters
i.e. 2s3d4f5g6h.csv

My concern is to have the file be deleted after download and/or make it so
no other users could guess the url and download someone else's history.

Any Advice is much appreciated.

thanks

Why not create the information and download it on-the-fly? That way no 
files are created, no evidence left laying around, etc. I've attached 
(for Randy, won't get to the list) something I use to do this with output 
as a tab delimited file.

I'm not sure of the exact term, but what I want todo is run a function
in a loop so that it doesn't wait for the function to finish and goes
ahead and executes the next in loop.

For example:

<?

for($i=1; $i>5; $i++) {

run_this();

}

?>

run_this may contain some long mathematical computations that takes a
while, but I want the script to go ahead and continue with the script
while the script computates...

or better yet, executes a shell script that runs in the bg, but the
PHP can safely quit without waiting for results of the shell script.
Any ideas?

  Hm, why make it on their site? I'm just thinking about creating a
SourceForge Account for a "PHP Mode for UltraEdit" project. This way we
could update it ASAP, when needed. We can give UltraEdit the link (or
the files, too), though. But I don't think they're willing to update the
files in their download section everytime a function is added to PHP,
for instance.

  My current wordfile.txt is definetly just a start from where we need
to go further - but it already contains all function names, as of
yesterday's state od the CVS.
