No, you can't change auto_prepend_file with ini_alter, because the file you
want to prepend should be read before your script, that is, before you call
ini_alter...

Thanks Christoph, for the response.
I try to d interpreting what you write to me and hope to make it in the correct
way.
My file that I like auto_prepend it is under Document_Root of the web_server
Apache in the path like this:
C:\OPENFEDRA\apache\htdocs\sv\cfg\systemVariables.php.
Well. The PHP worh in the Apache as CGI and php.ini are load with any execution
of the script PHP.
Before using the function ini_alter() in script PHP I would have to read the
files systemVariables?
I have made a test in order to see if other directives of php.ini can
dynamically be modified from script always with the function ini_alter() or
ini_set().
I have tried to change the session_path_file directive and are successful to
make this thing.
Of this they are not sure but I have one what little clear one that regards
that some directives of PHP cannot be modified from system the Win32.
The reason of this I have not clearly and I do not know it.
I hope to have written in clear way and I ask you the courtesy for dirmi if you
there it is a way in order to resolve the thing.
I have tried to use also the directives of Apache creating a file .htaccess
that he contains the directive of php.ini like this:
php_value auto_prepend_file
"C:/OPENFEDRA/Apache/htdocs/fedra/sv/cfg/systemVariables.php" and without
modify my script PHP.
But I have not understood where to put these rows and then putting the
directive of Apache AllowOverride to the All value I have a InternalServer
error.
Also on this you can help me?
Ciao e grazie Franco.

Better (though still theoretically spoofable) would be to include a random
number/string in a hidden field, store that number in the session, and check
to see that the number returned in the form is the same as what is expected
for that session. It's theoretically possible that someone could hijack the
session and return a forged page with the correct id, but it still ought to
be better than $HTTP_REFERER which can be easily spoofed once the 'attacker'
knows what is expected to be returned.
I've used a variant on this theme to provide a reasonably secure login to a
web application without using SSL. Store passwords as md5 hashes in db.
Send random number along with login. md5 the user's password client-side,
then hash that + the number and return that as the password variable (no
plaintext password over the network). On the server side, md5 the hashed
password from the database + the random number stored in the session.
Compare this value with the returned value & if they match you've got a
successful login.

Subject: Re: checking if is FORM is POSTED
The variable $HTTP_REFERER will tell you the origin of the request.
So you can check it with:
if (EREG('xxx.php$',$HTTP_REFERER)) { //only look for the name file
//process data
}
------ or -------
if ($HTTP_REFERER=='www.yyy.com/path/xxx.php') { //look for the entire url
//process data
}
*** where xxx.php is the url of the form source
Hope it can help you any way.

Are you shure the correct php.ini is read by php? Try to find out with
phpinfo(). Delete all other php.ini files on your system or rename them.

Hello,
I've been trying to run a PHP program called PHPList 1.9.3 available at
http://www.phplist.com/files/. The program does not seem to retain it's
sessions when running on a Windows environment.
The program runs well on my Mac OS X 10.2 "Jaguar".
Here is the info on my Windows machine:
Windows XP with Service Pack 3
Apache 2.0.43
PHP 4.3 RC2 (module)
mySQL 3.23.x
Can anyone give a hint of what's going on?
Thanks in advance.

Please help:
I'm working through PHP Fast & Easy Web Development tutorial book by Julie
C. Meloni. It's pretty good. But I've fat-fingered in a script
(Alllinone_form.php) and I get the following error.
Parse error: parse error in c:\program files\apache
group\apache\htdocs\testing\allinone_form.php on line 70
The script has exactly 69 lines. There is not a line 70. If I add a junk
line and try again the error reports on line 71 when there are only 70
lines. If I shorten the script by two or three lines the same error occurs,
just at the last line plus one.
Platform = Win 98 SE, Server = Apache 1.3x, PHP = 4.2x, Browser = Mozilla,
MSIE 5.5, Netscape, and Opera. I'm using CONTEXT as the editor (Great
Tool!) with the line numbering turned on, so I'm sure about the line count.
Anybody every see anything like this?
God bless us everyone.

Hi
This is probably something very simple like a missing '}'. Check that all
functions are closed! You could even do a count on the '}' character and check
that it returns an even no. though this is not fool-proof.
Cheers

Here's what I do:
Page1.php submits info to page2.php.
In page2.php:
<?php
//process form krud here
header("Location: page1.php");
exit;
?>
