Hi,
It's possible to know if a MySQL server is overloaded (with PHP), and if it's overloaded show a static page (something like Twitter's fail whale)? How can I do it?
Thanks!
Hi there just wondering;
How do i deny direct access to files in a specific folder. I have an upload script that uploads to /uploadedFiles and currently i just have an index.php which redirects the user to the login page however how do i stop users from accessing a file directly such as;
www.myurl.com/uploadedFiles/thisFile.jpeg
Thanks in advance :)
Ok I wrote my own version of SALT I call it salty lol don't make fun of me.. Anyway the registration part of my script as follows is working 100% correctly.
//generate SALTY my own version of SALT and I likes me salt.. lol
function rand_string( $length ) {
$chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuwxyz1234567890";
$size = strlen( $chars );
for( $i = 0; $i < $length; $i++ ) {
$str .= $chars[ rand( 0, $size - 1 ) ];
}
return $str;
}
$salty = rand_string( 256 );
//generate my extra salty pw
$password = crypt('password');
$hash = $password . $salty;
$newpass = $hash;
//insert the data in the database
include ('../../scripts/dbconnect.php');
//Update db record with my salty pw ;)
// TESTED WITH AND WITHOUT SALTY
//HENCE $password and $newpass
mysql_query("UPDATE `Register` SET `Password` = '$password' WHERE `emailinput` = '$email'");
mysql_close($connect);
However my LOGIN script is failing. I have it setup to TEST and echo if its login or not. It always returns FAILED. I entered the DB and changed the crypted salty pw to "TEST" and I got a SUCCESS. So my problem is somewhere in this LOGIN script I assume. Now I am not sure how to implement my $Salty in this. But also be advised that even without SALTY (just using crypt to store my pass) - I was still unable to perform a login successfully. And if you're gonna suggest i use blowfish - note that my webhost doesn't have it supported and i don't know how to install it.
here's my login script:
if (isset($_POST['formsubmitted']))
{
include ('../../scripts/dbconnect.php');
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$password = crypt(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']));
$qry = "SELECT ID FROM Register WHERE emailinput='$username' AND Password='$password'";
$result = mysql_query($qry);
if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
{
echo 'SUCCESS';
//START SESSION
}
else
{
echo 'FAILED';
//YOU ARE NOT LOGGED IN
}
}
So what's wrong with this login? Why isn't it working just using the crypt/storing only crypt?
How can i make it work storing both the crypt and randomly generated SALTY :) ?

Hi
I am trying to get the IP address of the website visitor in PHP. I'm expecting $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] to return something like 127.0.0.1, but it's returning ::1.
Kind regards

I have a database online that I would like to be able to load into an NSArray in my app. I can use arrayWithContentsOfURL with a static file, but I really need to go to a url that generates a plist file from the database and loading it into the array. I can use ASP or PHP. I tried setting the response type to "text/xml", but that doesn't help.
Any thoughts?
Hi all,
I need to download an image from some URL to my server. However, my server's config disallowed me to do it this way:
getimagesize( $file );
Because, it generate error:
Warning: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in somefile.php on line 10
So, is there another way I can use that doesn't require external library?
I have this text:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit
{something.something({print.print(param1,param2)},param2)},
consectetur adipiscing elit.
Where i need a pattern that can replace everything but: something.something
The text something.something can contain [a-zA-Z.]
(I am using preg_replace)
Here is a site where you can test the code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php
Hi all, I'm trying to create a custom registration component for Joomla, and I was wondering if anyone knew how to create the correct password encryption for joomla? Joomla passwords look like this :
fbae378704687625a410223a61c66eb1:VM6DwmVWHTwpquDq51ZXjWWADCIc93MR
Which I believe are md5 (or something) and one way encryption? Am just looking for a php code of sorts to create that same encryption.
Cheers
I need to remove the '&' character from each property of a php object
I tried the code below but it's not working...what am I missing?
thanks dudes
foreach($query_item as $key => $value)
{
$key = str_replace(' & ',' & ',$value);
}
I can't seem to get the correct Unix epoch time out of this PHP DateTime object.
$startingDateTime = "2005/08/15 1:52:01 am";
$foo = new DateTime($startingDateTime, new DateTimeZone("America/New_York"));
echo $foo-format('U');
which gives
1124085121
Which is Mon, 15 Aug 2005 00:52:01 GMT -500 (according to http://www.epochconverter.com/) but that's incorrect by an hour.
It SHOULD be 1124088721 and spit back at me as Mon, 15 Aug 2005 01:52:01 GMT -500
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello,
I'm still quite new to CodeIgniter and I was wondering, where should I place my PHP functions that has nothing to do with Controllers and Views, for example, a function that access a local file.
Thank you.
I have always been confused that .e,g in php i have sql statement
$qry = "select * from table where id = $id";
now can i insert "$" directly inside the quotes or i have to use
$qry = "select * from table where id =".$id." ";
or
$qry = 'select * from table where id = $id';
or
$qry = 'select * from table where id = '$id'';
Which is correct
I would like a php framework that:
Is simple and lightweight
It work in shared hosting (free hosting)
I'll be nice if it saves the preferred language using cookies (not necessary)
I'll be nicer if it detects user's preferred language from the browser (not necessary)
I want to build a page that displays 3 different languages. I came out with a mini localization framework but I think is kinda buggy.
Any suggestions?
I'm building an iPhone app, which will allow users to log in to a PHP web server that authenticates the user and starts a session.
My idea for managing a session is to create a singleton User class that has a sharedLogin method. Would it be prudent to store the session variable in the shared instance in order to maintain the session?
I want to create my own RSS/XML feed. I fetch data from the database to display, but keep getting invalid character errors. If the string has an ampersand or other strange characters in it, the XML will be invalid.
I tried using urlencode and htmlentities, but these don't capture all possible characters which need to be escaped. Does anyone know of a PHP function which will prepare a string for XML output?
hi all, basically, what i want to know is, for the second parameter in the create_function function, is there anyway to pass a string without a semicolon? or will it not work.
example:
taken from php.net
create_function('$a,$b', 'return "CRCs: " . crc32($a) . " , ".crc32(b);'),
notice that there is a semicolon in the string. is there any possible way someone can enter a function without a semicolon that will still run/evaluate?
Hello,
I want to be able to read any random RSS/ATOM XML file. That would mean I would not not know the tags, start the loop and the fields. How do I go about doing it in PHP.
Thanks
Jean
i'm developing an iPhone app which communicates with a remote DB.
for that purpose I'm looking for a web hosting service which inclues the following specs:
latest PHP
cUrl
SSL support
mySql
cron
live support
Max uptime
great money per value ratio
The main functionality is communication with the DB and displaying some info on the app.
It is important that the web hosting provider will be highly reliable.
Are there any providers who give some free usage before starting to pay?
Thanks
I have looked over the PHP list of supported timezones, but the whole list is a little long to include in a drop-down menu, for the user to select his or her timezone. Is there a list with the main city/area on that can be used?
My geography is terrible and add that to not knowing all the area and which timezone they fall into it could be a long day to construct the list my self!
Thanks in advance
I'm trying to build a PHP preg replace string when processing poorly written xml, such that if I am given:
$x='<abc x="y"><def x="g">more test</def x="g"><blah>test data</blah></abc x="y">';
That it checks if there's a space within a closing tag and deletes everything from the space to the end of the tag such that.
becomes
<abc x="y"><def x="g">more test</def><blah>test data</blah></abc>
thanks
Consider I have two arrays:
$friends = Array('foo', 'bar', 'alpha');
$attendees = Array('foo', 'bar');
Now I need to populate a new array $nonattendees which contains only the elements which are in $friends array and not in $attendees array. i.e, $nonattendees array should be populated with 'alpha'.
Is there any in built array operation available in PHP to achieve the above functionality or should I write my own for loops?

I'm new to PHP and I recently started learning Zend Framework. What DAL are you using? Do you think that Zend_Db_* can do the magic? I need it mainly for MySql db. Does it have any limitations and can I use it in big project without any problems because I don't want to go the wrong way.
