The Get method is less secure because it will encode all the vars into the
URL so after the submit your link will look like this:
http://www.mysite.com/formresponse.php?id=3&name=Gigi&firstname=alexandru
Do not submit in this way the forms containing very important data like
username, passwords, or others because it will travel as URL encoded. The
post method will negotiate with the server and send the infos into the
negotiation time. Both of the method are insecure, if you need security you
should use the SSL, but the GET method is less secure then the POST.
Anyway the difference between them is the way the data is sended to the
server, the GET method cannot submit more then 65535 characters into the URL
and you cannot submit files. There are no other differences (after my
knowledge)
Hope it helps you,

Cristian,
You said by using the method in a form as Get in place of Post it allows me
to use the back button without getting the error message:
Warning: Page has Expired The page you requested was created using
information you submitted in a form. This page is no longer available.
As a security precaution, Internet Explorer does not automatically
resubmit your information for you.
I changed the post to a GET and it seems to work just right. Do I loose
anything by using a get in place of a POST. How r they both different.
Please help.
Thanks

hi dean,
i hope you know what 'news.php?area=add&action=edit' means. if not:
- the site 'news.php' is called
- the vars 'area' and 'action' are defined via 'get'-method
-> so in your script you got the values of $area and $action (or better
$HTTP_GET_VARS['area'] or $_GET['area'] if register_globals = off). in your
script news.php you just need to do something with this vars. (i.e. you
switch() on the value and call your subscripts.)
there are many concepts on how to structure the code. you can put all your
functions in a file and include it in your script. or you can use classes
and define all your methods for this class. i would start collecting all the
functions of my scripts (what should it do) and from there i would see,
what's best.
ciao SVEN

Can any one Help Me install Pear DB?

If you're using PHP 4.3.2 on Windows and connected to the Internet, run
php/go-pear.bat in a command line window. It will guide you through the
process.

Hi Shena,
Just in case it made a difference, I upgraded to V2.5.2 of phpMyAdmin.
My entries (ie. those I've changed) are:-
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://127.0.0.1/phpMyAdmin-2.5.2-rc2/';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '...';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '...';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = 'phpmyadmin';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = 'PMA_bookmark';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = 'PMA_relation';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] = 'PMA_table_info'
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = 'PMA_table_coords'
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = 'PMA_pdf_pages';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] = 'PMA_column_info';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] = 'PMA_history';
http://127.0.0.1/ is configured in Apache to be development directory on C:
(ie. C:\...\...\development)
The {phpmyadmin} directory is thus
C:\...\...\development\phpmyadmin
Apache is working, PHP is working and MySQL is working. phpMyAdmin is
working too, with the exception of this feature.
On phpMyAdmin screens, I see:-
"Error
The additional Features for working with linked Tables have been
deactivated. To find out why click here."
Any ideas on the cause of the problem?
PS: I get the same results running phpMyAdmin in Netscape.
Thanks in advance,
Richard

For easier programming i'm using sessions with TRANSSID.

How can I find out (as a string) in what dir my php script is run?

Hi,
I am trying to create a basic telnet client using sockets to connet to a
linux box. I have written some sockets code previously with a server script
that I developed myself and that worked fine. The problem I am getting is
with Telnet (port 23) after making the socket connection successfully all I
am able to read back is garbage. What I would like to do is go through an
automated login process into the Linux box, issue some OS commands and exit.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be? Has anyone done
this successfully.
Here is my basic test code:
$socket = socket_create (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, getprotobyname("TCP"));
if ($socket < 0) {
echo "socket() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror (socket_last_error())
. "\n";
echo('failed');
} else {
"socket() successful: \n";
}
echo "Attempting to connect to '$address' on port '$service_port'...";
$result = socket_connect ($socket, $address, $service_port);
if ($result < 0) {
echo "connect() failed.\nReason: ($result) " . socket_strerror($result)
. "\n";
} else {
echo "OK.\n";
}
if ([EMAIL PROTECTED]($socket,SOL_SOCKET,SO_REUSEADDR,1)) {
echo "socket_setopt() failed: reason:
".socket_strerror(socket_last_error($sock))."\n";
exit;
}
$aresult = socket_bind( $socket, "192.168.0.80", 23 );
echo "Reading response:\n\n";
$out = socket_read ($socket, 2048,PHP_BINARY_READ);
echo $out;
echo "Closing socket...";
socket_close ($socket);
