Well, let's see if I can contribute something useful here.
Firstly, "or", as a Boolean operator requires two operands, both of which
must have an actual value.
Now, according to the manual (at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.returning-values.php), "Values are
returned [from a function] by using the optional return statement" -- so
"return" is a statement, and statements don't have a value (and can't even
be coerced to have one), so "return" can't be valid as one of the operands
to "or".
On the other hand, "exit" (and its alias "die") are function-like language
constructs which do have a value, even if it's only NULL produced by
coercing a void return, so they are valid as an operand to "or". (Of
course, you can never make use of the NULL return from "exit" or "die",
because your script will already have exited or died before it gets the
opportunity to do so -- but the very fact that they are language constructs
with a potential return value means they can be used in a context which
demands a value, where "return", which doesn't have a value, can't!)
Hope that's all a bit clearer than mud ;)
Cheers!
Mike

Re: [PHP] excuting a shell command in linux as root
It is questionable if it is really insecure. sudo allows great control over what commands it can run with what parameters. If you combine it with php input checks it gets pretty secure.

Re: [PHP] dynamic -> static
Quick way to do it would be to spider your site with an offline browser and then put that site up in a subdirectory, change your index file to redirect to your site via javascript and place the static html page hidden from browsers, but not from spiders. Completely legal as long as you follow the search engines guidelines. I think it is legal if you do it like a framed page. Also place javascript redirects to their cooresponding dynamic pages. The javascript redirects are invisible to spiders.

[PHP] SESSION & SSL : Missing $_SESSION value
Hello everyone,
I'm having the following errors and hope that someone can help. Please
advise.
I have an authentication script that uses session to authenticate and
track the user. Every was working fine under HTTP, but when I move the
application to a secure server (HTTPS), my session variables no longer
hold their values. They all return BLANK. Am I missing something? Please
asdvise.
//Sample Code
//login.html
[html Form code goes here ... with
action='https://www.site.com/login.php?option=login' ]
//authentication
//login.php
if(username and password match) {
session_save_path('/tmp');
session_name('sName');
session_start();
[** get user id, user type, and name from db...]
//set session vars
$_SESSION['userid'] = $database->userid;
$_SESSION['type'] = $databe->type;
$_SESSION['ACCESS'] = 'PASS';
}else{
echo '...invalid username/password...';
}
...
//access restricted subpage
// otherpage.php
//check access. This code is actually in a function called Authenticate()
that return TRUE on a successfull match.
if(isset($_SESSION['ACCESS']) and $_SESSION['ACCESS']=='PASS'){
echo 'This is a valid user...';
}else{
echo 'Authentication failed...Access denied...';
}
Now, the authentication failed (on the last page (otherpage.php), because
the $_SESSION variable is empty. a quick print_r($_SESSION)
statement returns an empty array.
Basically, the $_SESSION content is not being preserved.
Any idea what is causing that? Please advise.

I have been thinking of doing such thing for a while and have two possible solutions. One is to have a master object and have a variable to set the mode of operation (i.e. Dynamic, Static) You would then abstract all your output (echo etc.) functions. This new echo function would either output in the normal way or to a file handler depending on the $static_dynamic variable. You would then have a master function which crawls your site calling all the pages. The other solution involved using a function which captures all browser i/o into a variable rather than sending it to the screen (cant remember its name). Not as sure how to implement this. Basically if you have not written your CMS using objects it will be a lot harder. One of the reasons I am not generating static snapshots it the CMS I wrote was not originally written without objects. I am slowly rewriting it and when finished I will revisit this issue.
