I have installed php 4.3, Oracle 8.1.7 client, and Apache 2.0, in that
order. I am running this on a dell poweredge 4300 with windows 2000
server. I have my <drive>:/oracle/ora81/bin path in my PATH statement
in my environment variables. When I try to start Apache I get this
error, "the dynamic link library OCI.dll could not be found" and then it
spits out my PATH statement with <apache home>.; in front of it. I have
the php_oci8.dll in the winnt/system32 directory. I have the LoadModule
php4_module c:/PHP/sapi/php4apache2.dll line in my httpd.conf file. I
have the extension=php_oci8.dll line in my php.ini file Uncommented.
Now, please help.

I was able to get Apache to recognize my oci.dll. Now, anytime I want
to connect to a database, any database (postgres, oracle, mysql) I get a
page not found error. I have the same configuration as on another box.
The only difference is I am on windows 2000 server on this box and the
other one that works I am on windows 2k pro. Any ideas?

Hi everybody:
I have php 4.3.2 running as a isapi module on WinXP with IIS 5.1.
When I run the following script:
setcookie("auth_login",$cookie_val['auth_login'],time() + 3600);
or
setcookie("auth_level",$cookie_val['auth_level'],time() + 3600);
it fails to set the cookie in browsers different of netscape
navigator. ie opera or internet explorer. nevertheless it works
localy with internet explorer. I have check all kind of privacy
settings in this browsers and it remains the same... does someone
have a clue about this?
Thanks in advance

Mark,
I've run in to this problem - first noticing this with PHP Nuke.
This cookie problem seems to be a result of a server configuration
issue with the Windows operating system.
At work I have 2 Win-2k servers, both running PHP 4.3.2, our production
web-server can set cookies no problem. On our dev-web server,
cookies can not be set. This is cause of the "admin loop" error of
PHP Nuke - if you're doing any reading on the forums. This is
web-server independant, you'll notice if you install Apache on the
system, you will have the same issue of cookies not being set. Now,
something I will try is setting Apache up in CGI mode to see if that has
the same problems?
Internet explorer 5.0 should work for you, however versions of 5.5+
(and some of the other browsers such as Opera), require a domain to
be set as part of the cookie, and as such error out.
I've been tracking this problem on our dev server for a while, and it
seems to be part of the Win 2k hardening proceedures that Microsoft
recommends. Using the exact same PHP configuration on the exact same
web-servers (same patch levels to the T), one works and one does not
>8(
Frustrating indeed!

This is just an odd suggestion.. but did you check permissions on the
c:\php\sessiondata (or whatever folder it is)? IUSR_Machine needs to have
modify on that folder in order to store it's session data... Of course,
you can change that path in the .ini to point wherever you want, but by
default it's in the same dir as the .exe. I have noticed that on some
installs of php (wether with the .exe or .msi or whatever) it fails to set
the proper permissions on the folder. I haven't played with PHP-Nuke on
Windows NT in near a year, but if I remember correctly, that's how I fixed
the admin loop issue on a box I run =\

Nick,
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe I checked that. If I remember
correctly the default php.ini has it pointing to /tmp which was
c:\winnt\temp (everyone has modify on the temp dir). I'll be
cruising in to work tomorrow to check it (around 3:00pm Mountain time),
since I have 1-box that works, and 1-that doesn't I'll also be able to
compare the permissions & their affects on the admin loop problem.
Stay tuned >8)
Cheers,
~Steve

Mark,
You might try using sessions instead of cookies. The following code
checks the session and credentials.
<?php
error_reporting(0);
session_start();
print("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Login Page One</TITLE></HEAD>\n<BODY>\n"); //
Start the session system
error_reporting(0);
session_start();
// if the login form was posted and the uid was set (and valid)
if($_POST['logon'] and $_POST['password'] and
!isset($_SESSION['logon'])){
// set our session vars.
$mysql_user = "root";
$mysql_password = "";
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", $mysql_user,
$mysql_password)
or die("Error, your username and/or password is
not correct");
$first = mysql_query("select * from time.main where logon_id =
'$logon'")
or die("Invalid query");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($first, MYSQL_NUM)) {
$pass = $row[7];
}
mysql_free_result($first);
if ($_POST['password'] == $pass)
{
$_SESSION['logon'] = $_POST['logon'];
$_SESSION['logged_in'] = true;
}
else
{
header("Location: sessionerror.php");
}
}
// if the logoff was clicked...
if($_GET['logoff']){
print("<p>Bye, Bye {$_SESSION['logon']}. Thanks for stopping
by!</p>");
session_unset(); // clean out the session
session_destroy(); // delete the record,file,etc
}
if($_SESSION['logged_in'])
{
print ("Page One");
print ("<br><a href='session2.php'>Go To Page Two</a><br>");
print("<a href='session.php?logoff=true'>[logoff]</a><br>");
} else {
header("Location: sessionstart.php");
}
print("</BODY></HTML>");
?>
You could try the following cookie code if sessions won't work.
<?php
$cookie_name = "cookiename";
if(empty($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookie_name])) {
$user_time=time();
$user_ip=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"];
$uid=$user_time.$user_ip;
$expiretime=time()+7600;
$c_name = $cookie_name; # cookie name
$c_data = "PHPSESSID".$uid.""; # cookie data
$c_path= "/"; # "/"= all directories or
"/php/"=named path
$c_domain = ""; # leaving empty covers all domains
$c_secure = 0; # secure server? 1=true,0=false
setCookie("$c_name","$c_data","$expiretime","$c_path","$c_domain","$c_se
cure");
?>
<html><head><title>php unique number cookie</title>
</head><body>
<h2>PHP UNIQUE NUMBERED COOKIE DATA</h2>
<?php
echo"<b>Cookie Name:</b> $c_name<br>";
echo"<b>Data: </b>$c_data<br>";
echo"<b>Unix Time:</b> $c_time<br>";
echo"<b>Converted time: </b><br>";
echo"<b>Path Accepted:</b> $c_path<br>";
echo"<b>Domain Accepted:</b> www.yourwebserver.com<br>";
echo"<b>Secure (Yes=1 No=0):</b> $c_secure<br>";
?>
<body></html>

jh :
uklinux.net run with register globals off , as well as several other safe
mode enhancements. So you will need in any case to learn how to do this
properly to run on their servers.
Contact me off list if you want a full rundown on their capabilities, as I
have been with them 2 years and am very familiar with the server config.
If you have problems on the live site, contact Lance, he's very helpful

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
I have wrapped your code in <?php ?> like so:-
<?php
if !isset($title) {
// Title contains no valid data
$title = ""
}
if !isset($firstname) {
// Title contains no valid data
$firstname = ""
}
if !isset($lastname) {
// Title contains no valid data
$lastname = ""
}
>
?>
called it p-6-2.php and this is the error I get:-
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '!', expecting '(' in
D:\web\myforms\p-6-2.php on line 4
I have used my own form which uses javascript to validate the fname and
surname fields, but it still outputs the same error messages!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice: Undefined variable: title in D:\web\myforms\p-6-2.php on line 11
Title is required.
Notice: Undefined variable: fname in D:\web\myforms\p-6-2.php on line 17
First name is required.
Notice: Undefined variable: surname in D:\web\myforms\p-6-2.php on line 23
Last name is required.
Please use your browser's back button to return to the form, correct the
errors, and re-submit the form.
-----------------------------------------------------
If I send the output of my form to phpinfo() , I get all my form fields
listed in ' PHP Variables ' in ' get ' and ' post ' and the data entered
into my form is there also.
In php.ini, globles is set off, like so:- register_globals=Off
Like I say, I am new to php, so I haven't a clue what to do!
Thanks
