[PHP] Need to check whether a param exists!
Hi, All I'm trying to do is check for the presence of a query string, but everything I try gives me an Undefined Index error. I want to set a variable $pagename to whatever was passed as the ?page= value, and if it wasn't passed, set it to some default value. http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=hello if (is_object($_REQUEST['page'])) $pagename = $_REQUEST['page']; else $pagename = "home"; ?> I also tried is_null, tried if($_REQUEST) by itself, also tried all of these with $_GET, $_POST, $_GLOBAL, but they all give me Undefined Index error on that If line. - Brian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Is my syntax wrong?
Hi,
The following code is giving me a "parse error, unexpected T_STRING."
$inc_current_ad = WrapMySQLDatabaseResults("macasap", "update ads where
ad_id = '.$current_ad->Value("ad_id").' set
rotate='.$current_ad->Value("rotate")+1.'",
"block=0","inc_current_ad");
It's supposed to increment the value ad_id in the ads table. The
current_ad action works fine and correctly retrieves the right record.
I suspect I have a problem with my quotes?

Re: [PHP] Is my syntax wrong?
I think we are almost there. This code is not producing an error, but
it is also not incrementing the database. The value stays at zero. Any
idea what could be wrong?
$inc_current_ad = WrapMySQLDatabaseResults("macasap", "update ads where
ad_id = ".$current_ad->Value("ad_id")." set
rotate=".($current_ad->Value("rotate")+1), "block=0","inc_current_ad");
Other queries of the same db on the page are working, so it's probably
not a configuration/connectivity issue.

Yes it is.

seem to make any difference, and \n is working on other mail actions on
this same server.

[PHP] [OFF] - Fraudulent web orders - any ideas?
Hi all, I have a simple PHP store, and it appears that someone is using it to test credit card numbers. I'm getting a very high number of small orders every day, but a lot more declines. My merchant provider suggests blocking that person's IP address, but that's not practical since it's dynamic. I'll get a lot of orders from one IP address for a few hours, but then the address changes. I wonder if anyone has any experience with this, and if so, can you suggest a way to deal with it? - Brian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] [OFF] - Fraudulent web orders - any ideas?
Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. Yes I have been logging IP address in my orders database. I think I may have solved it by an even simpler method: I emailed the perpetrator to "thank him for all of his orders" to see what he'd say. His first few orders came with real email addresses, and even a few under what appears to be his own name "Abang Batax." Ever since I sent that email I haven't had a single order come through from him. That alone may have scared him off. Nevertheless, I think I will implement a few of your suggestions. I like the idea of an SQL table to store IP addresses that are blocked, though I'd make it last for a couple of days to be extra safe rather than 30 minutes. Anyone know who the "proper authorities" are, to whom I could give my logs? Amazingly, my CardService rep didn't know. He also didn't seem to care or think it was a very big deal. The total orders that went through are about 100 orders at $15 each. My guess is that "Abang Batax" is probably overseas, so it may not be worthwhile following up. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] [OFF] Double charges to credit cards
This question is not necessarily PHP-specific, though we are running PHP classes. Online store, credit card authorized at time of order, credit card charged at time of shipment (could be anywhere from a few minutes to a couple weeks later). Standard stuff. But customers are complaining that they're being double-charged. Turns out that both the authorization and the charge are showing up on their statements. Our merchant provider, ConcordEFSnet whose API we're using, says that this is just the way it works and there's nothing we can do about it. Sounds too incredible to be true. I've never seen anything like this on my own credit card statements, and I can't imagine that Amazon, et. al. have this problem, though they follow our same business process.

[PHP] Cardservice lphp won't create array
You'll need to be generally familiar with Cardservice's lphp class to
answer this one:
I'm properly setting the $myorder array (as verified by outputting it
with a while loop) - but upon executing the next step:
$charge_result = $mylphp->curl_process($myorder);
I then attempt to display the full results with this:
while (list($key, $value) = each($charge_result))
{
echo htmlspecialchars($key) . " = " . htmlspecialchars($value) .
"\n";
}
But I get:
Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object
It appears that somehow lphp is not creating the results array that
it's supposed to. I am properly including the lphp.php file, and I've
verified that curl is turned on. Anyone have a clue, or is there any
more info I need to provide?

Haven't used MySQL in about four or five years (use PostgreSQL instead)
but it will be something like this:
select * from tablename where datetime_field <= (now() - interval('1
month'));
The difference for you would be in the now() function (whatever mysql
function returns the current system time is what you need) and the
interval function. This just takes the present time and applys the
specified interval.

downloads are taking so long and going so much slower than if I were

$ctx = stream_context_create(array('http' => array('timeout' =>

$contents = file_get_contents($full_url, 0, $ctx);
$fp = fopen('D:\\DocShare\\'.$filename, "w");

fclose($fp);
Yes, it's on Windows. Any idea whether my PHP code might be
introducing a slowdown? The files range from 500K to 50MB. I often
launch multiple instances of the script but it doesn't seem to help
much.

Re: [PHP] Slow file download
I'm open to something like that - we're in the middle of the holiday crunch and can't afford any downtime, so a significant change is out of the question.

[PHP] Help debugging a file upload on IIS
Hi - I have a file upload that returns no error, but the file does not appear on the server. Here is the result of $_FILES: Array ( [f] => Array ( [name] => Elephants.pdf [type] => application/pdf [tmp_name] => C:\WINDOWS\Temp\php3133.tmp [error] => 0 [size] => 114109 ) ) Nothing new at all in C:\Windows\Temp\. PHP is properly putting its session files in there, so I know PHP has permission. Anyway I set Everyone permissions to Full Control for that directory. post_max_size and upload_max_filesize are both 250M. Just not sure what else to check. PHP 5.2.6, Microsoft-IIS/6.0, Windows 2003 Server R2, Enterprise Edition, SP2 Thanks.
Re: [PHP] Help debugging a file upload on IIS
The one thing I was doing was: move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name'], $new_path); but nothing was happening, no new file appearing where it was supposed to, and no error returned, left me scratching my head. (Later the same script logs the upload to MySQL using data from $_FILES and that part works fine.) On Dec 29, 2008, at 12:43 PM, Ashley Sheridan wrote: Sorry, that's a silly question, ignore that.

[PHP] IM Convert PDF->JPG works in command line, not in PHP
Here's a weird thing. I have a new Redhat machine, with PHP 5.2.6 and IM 6.4.8. The following works beautifully on the command line: convert original.pdf new.jpg But from PHP, it only works beautifully if I specify complete pathnames for convert, the original file, and the new file (that's OK, no problem), but it only works converting JPG and GIF images. As soon as I try to convert a PDF image, it fails: $command_line = "/usr/local/imagemagick/bin/convert /var/www/html/ original.pdf /var/www/new.jpg"; system($command_line, $return_var); ?> $return_var = 1. I don't have ghostscript, but I figured I don't need it since the PDF->JPG conversions works on the command line.

[PHP] Best way to post XML via curl?
I'm going crazy, can't quite get this encoding to work. I've tried all
the various combinations, trying to send this block $xml (which is a
simple string variable) via post along with 3 other params:
$postArgs = http_build_query(array('method'=>'newPrintRequest',
'login'=>$login, 'password'=>$password, 'orderxml'=>$xml));
$ch = curl_init('http://test.server.com/rest_interface.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postArgs);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: text/xml"));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
Is this use of http_build_query the best way to send XML? Any other
curl options I should be setting? I tried urlencoding() the $xml, I
tried htmlspecialchars(), I tried nothing at all, I tried & and
& is there a "best practice" for how a big block of xml should be
posted?

In that case you're not sending them what they're asking for. Are the
method, login and password fields supposed to be separate or should
they be included in the xml? At the moment they're separate so when
you tell the server it's in XML format you're lying because only part
of it is.
As a test try setting $postArgs = $xml. If I'm right it might either
work or give you and authentication error.

[PHP] file_get_contents doesn't work on one particular server
Howdy all - We have a production server that runs our script fine.
We're setting up a test server, and this particular script returns a
length of zero:
$ctx = stream_context_create(array('http' => array('timeout' =>
1200))); // 20 minutes per file
$contents = file_get_contents($full_url, 0, $ctx);
You can paste the $full_url into a browser and it works fine (it's
always a PDF document). It works fine with the same variables on the
production server. Is there some configuration option that we've
missed that's preventing it from working? Note that this is all https,
and I did notice this difference in the phpinfo() but don't know if
it's relevant:

[PHP] Totally weird behavior trying to download a Mac DMG file
So I've added a product to my online store that's in .DMG format. Most
of the other files are ZIP or PDF. When someone completes a purchase,
it downloads the file to them, and this works great:
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.
$file_row["filename"].'"');
$size = filesize('../../store/files/'.$file_row['filename']);
header('Content-Length: '.$size);
readfile('../../store/files/'.$file_row['filename']);
So I have my DMG file. I've verified that it automounts and behaves
friendly. If you do a direct download, it mounts on the desktop
perfectly, and there's all the stuff inside.
However, when I complete a test purchase and download using the above
code, the DMG file downloads, but then it mounts; the contents are
copied into the Downloads folder; the image unmounts; and then
deletes. All the contents are delivered, but not in a desirable way.
You can see the status change in the Downloads window:
Mounting the image
Copying the image
Unmounting the image
Cleaning up

[PHP] Server change affecting ability to send downloaded files???
Hey all --
A couple of weeks ago my online stores, on a machine I host at
Rackspace, stopped delivering files that people purchase. I've used
this for years, and it's always worked perfectly with all filetypes:
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.
$file_row["filename"].'"');
$size = filesize('../../store/files/'.$file_row['filename']);
header('Content-Length: '.$size);
readfile('../../store/files/'.$file_row['filename']);
But then, all of a sudden, it only works with ZIP files. There were no
changes to the code or to the files, just one day all of a sudden any
time someone purchases a DMG, EXE, PDF, etc. they get zero bytes. I've
asked Rackspace if they upgraded something that might produce this
change but they say "check your code". The code had not been touched
in years (literally). I've tried a zillion combos of different headers
but I'm having no luck.
Has anyone ever heard of something (besides my code and my files) that
could cause this behavior? You'll be my best friend if you can help.
Thanks.

They are also too long, set for 6 months. I need to correct both issues, so I changed it to write cookies to '/' for 72 hours. I've checked my Safari, and I see that I have both cookies set: A long one for '/admin' and a short one for '/'. I'm worried that once the admins' short cookies run out, their browsers will pick up the longer lasting value for the '/admin' version of the cookie. I want to kill everyones' '/admin' cookies, but I'm worried that some browsers might erase both cookies if I do this. Does anyone know if I can safely kill the '/admin' cookie without risking deletion of the '/' cookie? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Cookie Quandary
No, I'm talking about cookies, thus the references to pathnames and expirations. On Oct 27, 2009, at 10:56 AM, Ashley Sheridan wrote: Cookies are client-side. Do you mean session files? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Emergency! Performance downloading big files
This is a holiday-crunch emergency.
I'm dealing with a client from whom we need to download many large PDF docs
24x7, several thousand per hour, all between a few hundred K and about 50 MB.
Their security process requires the files to be downloaded via https using a
big long URL with lots of credential parameters.
Here's how I'm doing it. This is on Windows, a quad Xeon with 16GB RAM:
$ctx = stream_context_create(array('http' => array('timeout' => 1200)));
$contents = file_get_contents($full_url, 0, $ctx);
$fp = fopen('D:\\DocShare\\'.$filename, "w");
$bytes_written = fwrite($fp, $contents);
fclose($fp);
It's WAY TOO SLOW. I can paste the URL into a browser and download even the
largest files quite quickly, but the PHP method bottlenecks and cannot keep up.
Is there a SUBSTANTIALLY faster way to download and save these files? Keep in
mind the client's requirements cannot be changed. Thanks for any suggestions.

Oops, it's several hundred per hour, several thousand per day.

Re: [PHP] Emergency! Performance downloading big files
Can someone explain how this would work? It's a Windows web server running IIS and the files are saved to a drive that is outside the web root. PHP is grabbing each filename from a MySQL database, along with the URL and credentials for it, and ends up with a url something like this: https://server.com?filename=filename.pdf&user=xxx&pass=xxx&something=xxx On Dec 1, 2009, at 2:55 PM, Ashley Sheridan wrote: > Why not put the files behind a secured directory.

[PHP] Good source for sample data?
Hey all - I need a few million sample contact records - name, company, address, email, web, phone, fax. ZIP codes and area codes and street addresses should be correct and properly formatted, but preferably not real people or companies or email addresses. But they'd work if you did address validation or mapping. Anyone have a suggestion? - Brian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
