I am developing an intranet website using
programming tool - php 4.1.1 running as a module,
HTML, Javascript.
webserver - apache 1.3.x.
browser - Internet Explorer 5.0 / Netscape 6.2
platform - Windows 2000.
I am having problems with sessions. i am not able to
understand what's
wrong with following fragment of code.
first.php
<?php
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['count']))
$_SESSION['count']=0;
else
$_SESSION['count']++;
?>
I am having a link to next.php from this page.
next.php
<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['count']))
echo "variable not set";
else
echo $_SESSION['count'];
?>
the output of the above code in next.php when loaded
is "variable not set" why is it so, do i need to make
any changes in the php.ini or is it something to do
with the browser. I had browsed through the archive
and refered "[PHP-WIN] newbie Basic sessions..." but
it didn't help me much.
I also tried with session.use_tras_sid "On" and "Off"
even that didn't work.
kindly guide me in this regard.
following are the session settings in php.ini.
register_globals = Off
session.save_handler = files
session.save_path = c:/temp
session.use_cookies = 1
session.name = PHPSESSID
session.auto_start = 0
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.cookie_path = c:/cookies
session.cookie_domain =
session.serialize_handler = php
session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
session.referer_check =
session.entropy_length = 0
session.entropy_file =
session.cache_limiter = nocache
session.cache_expire = 180
session.use_trans_sid = 1
url_rewriter.tags =
"a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=fakeentry"

You need a session_start() on every page that needs to examine/update
$_SESSION[] ...

BTW, why is autostart_session default to off in php.ini ? Does it mean it is
not good that session autostarts on every page?

I don't know the answer to this, but one thought that springs to mind is
maybe it's considered "rude" to send cookies to people if you don't actually
need them.
I'm only guessing. Don't take this as definitive.
Cheers,
Jill

Normally there is no point to starting a session on every page... it depends
on what your site is designed to do! Plus, it can become resource intensive
if you needlessly start sessions when they aren't used... Nothing to do with
being rude ;-)

Subject: [PHP-WIN] WIN 2000 ACCESS VIOLATION PROBLEMS
RECENTLY I INSTALLED PHP ON A WIN 2000 AND WHEN THE WIN STARTS AND THE
IIS SERVICE STARTS AND PHP WORKS OK ... BUT AFTER SOME MINUTES OF BEING
UP , .. THE SCRIPT RESPONSES:
PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 0119295E
AND LATER THE PHP SCRIPTS ARE NOT ACCESIBLE ANY MORE THROUGH BROWSER,
AND FINALLY I GET FROM IE "THE PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED"
THIS IS HAPPENING WITH 4.2.1 AND 4.3.0 INSTALLED AS IIS MODULE.
ANY IDEAS ABOUT HOW TO SOLVE THIS ???

Anyone any idea how to check whether a table is locked? In particular I use
FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK before backup starts and want to know whether
this has happened.
Thanks in advance,

I don't believe there is any method to show the lock status of a table -
well at least not one that can be queried at the SQL level... I guess you
could kludge it by using calls to GET_LOCK(),RELEASE_LOCK() instead ...

The FIRST thing to do is make sure that you can compile PHP from scratch on Windows:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php#install.windows.build
The info on how to write your own extension to PHP is also online:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/zend.php
Basicly, making one on Windows is exactly the same as on Linux... except for the
fact that you do compiling with Visual STudio, and all the command-line tools
will have to be executed in Cygwin.
when installing 'Cygwin', you must specificly download the developer apps
'flex', 'bison', 'automake', and 'autoconf'. Otherwise, after you set up Visual
C++, it will complain about them not being available.
I always meant to write up a step-by-step doc on this... but I never found the
time ;)

I imagine there are some people with opinions on this list so I'd really
appreciate some commentary and philosophy on this subject if you want.
Deride me if you must.
For the past 3 months I've been learning PHP using 4.06, Apache 1.3.20,
MySQL 3.23, all running smoothly on Win98. I downloaded a package
containing these versions configured to run on windows, so admittedly I
didn't have much configuring to do on my own. So far it's been
difficult, rewarding and fun.
Last week I decided to upgrade to the current package containing PHP
4.2.3, Apache 1.3.27, MySQL 4. No problems with the download and install
except now my php pages no longer connect to my database and I'm getting
some errors I never got before.
I've been able to fix some of the problems but others persist. I
understand that I need to read the manuals, check the forums and consult
the books I've been using. If I would take more time to do this I'd be
better off for it. I have done that to a considerable degree and have
learned a lot. But I'm also a little pressed for time and have an
exciting website I want to get launched.
So now I'm pondering why should I upgrade when what I had was working
just fine?

Hi
I think any version of PHP 4.0.6 is ok, provided you close all known
security holes.
I believe there are a few, you should check php.net for more info.

Did you read about the register_globals change in 4.1.0? For severe
security reasons, the 'register_gobals' parameter is by default set to
off starting with version 4.1.0. This breaks many existing scripts,
you are still able to turn in back on in the newer versions (in
php.ini).
However, PHP5 will be released without register_globals - so you'll
have to correct your scripts anyway.
You'll find lots of posts about this issue in the mailing list
archives.

Below is all of my code. The first is my html page that calls my php page.
I do not know php well enough to edit the code to make this work. I need
the image to go to a folder called "logos" on my C drive. The actual path
is:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\logos
Could someone please make the changes to my code so that it will work!
Thank you Thank you!!!
********HTML Page***********
<html>
<form action="fileupload2.php" method=post enctype="multipart/form-data">
submit this file: <input type=file name="userfile"><br>
rename to: <input type=text name="newname"><br>
<input type=submit><br>
</form>
</html>
**********PHP Page *************
<?
if(!empty($userfile))
{
$abpath = "logos/" . $newname;
echo "FileUpload2.php";
echo $username;
echo $newname;
echo $abpath;
//copy the file
// copy($userfile, "$abpath");
//destroy the uploaded file
// unlink($userfile);
// write javascript to store the newname
// echo "<script language='javascript'>\n";
// echo "newname = '" . $newname . "';\n";
// echo "</script>\n";
}

If someone could fix this I would greatly greatly apreciate it!

Hello,
I am new to PHP and was wondering if anyone can share an LDAP
authentication script. I need a user to fill in a Username and Password
and need to check if the user exists in an LDAP database. If the user
exists let him/her proceed, else show the login screen again with the
username filled in addition to an LDAP error message...
Thanks for your help,
Shaffin.

I am running the latest version of PHP on Windows 2000 Server & the latest
version of Apache. I have a PHP script that is used to process a POST
request. Simple enough, right? Well, whenever thsi script is called, I get
a 405 Method Not Allowed error. The script is in a folder off of the
"htdocs" folder. Is this an Apache configuration issue? Anyone else
experienced this?
