Here's a simple one:

In the second example it is called with ?mode=reg in the url.  Gian just 
added login_if('reg') as a possibility.

The original design that Kristian posted always displayed the reg form if 
reg mode was enabled.  The reg form also functioned as a login form if 
the username and password were acceptable.

[Phplib-users] How to implement self registration

[Rob H. <rob...@ws...>]

  I don't see that again=reg has been implemented in any of the examples
except for a very limited way on the sourceforge site.  Is there an example
of self registration anywhere?
  If not, what is the theory.  You call login_if('reg') and then
auth_registerform() is called.  But what is the correct way to handle the
data returned?  In my mind, it would have to occur first thing in the auth
list, or different variable names other than those used on the login form.
Or is that what auth_doregister() is for.  If so, why is it treated
differently than auth_validatelogin()?  Give me some guidlines and I will
write it into the examples then move it to my needs...

RE: [Phplib-users] auth_validatelogin() excecuting twice

[Rob H. <rob...@ws...>]

Sorry to answer myself, I figured it out.  I was striping the again= in the
template from this->url.

One other quick note.  With the current regex removal of again=, if I have
more than one parameter like

url?param1=something&again=log&parm2=something

then after the regex I get

url?param1=something&&param2=something

the url

url?again=log

results in

url?

so can the regex be added to remove duplicate && after the first or remove
the ? if there are no other parameters?

Thanks,

It's when you use the login_if() further down the page, I think.

Login_if reinvokes the auth->start() method. So the start method is run 
twice: first when the page_open is called, and again when login_if() is 
called.

Login_if is a second, thighter check, that can be placed by hand inside 
particular pages that need extra login constraints, like having perm admin 
etc. In practice there are two 'modus operandi' in phplib's auth check: the 
first is relying on the general initialization of the auth class at 
page_open, and not touch each and every page. The second is  the possibility 
to insert manually extra conditions in determinate pages by placing a 
login_if() check, that will re-pass the cascade auth->start() method, 
included trying to validate a login form.

the auth->start() in page_open returns OK as long as you bear *any* valid  
auth[uid], logoin_if() then can block you, although you have a valid auth, on 
extra constraints.

[Phplib-users] changes to snapshot local.inc

[Rob H. <rob...@ws...>]

  Made to following changes to local.inc.  The first to all auths, the
second to Example_challange_crypt_auth

function auth_validatelogin() {

After the:

  $this->auth["uname"] = $HTTP_POST_VARS["username"];        ## This
provides access for "loginform.ihtml"

I added

  if ($this->auth["uname"] == '') {return false;}

because there is no point in doing the db lookup if there is no uname

and moved the:

    $expected_response = md5("$HTTP_POST_VARS[username]:$pass:$challenge");

to one line before the:

    if ($expected_response != $HTTP_POST_VARS["response"]) {

because there is no point in doing the md5 sum if it is not to be used.

[Phplib-users] mysql_pconnect & db_mysql.inc

[Mike G. <mi...@op...>]

Hello phplib folks,

I've heard that mysql_pconnect has some problems, especially if it isn't
installed as an apache module.  

I did a search for problems with mysql_pconnect and didn't fid a lot.
Mostly this (which is pretty vague): 
http://www.dotxtra.net/support/php.htm

There is a report here with problems with PHP 4.1.1, but I haven't heard
anything about any other versions.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-pconnect.php

From what I could see from php.net the official version is to tweek
apache & MySQL:

We were running into an issue of too many open connections.

	Warning: Host 'db.ourserver.org' is blocked because of many
	connection errors. Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' in
	/home/mike/phplib/db_mysql.inc on line 75

This one here actually..

From what I've read persistent connections should reduce the number of
db connections, unless they are set to persist a bit too long in which
case it has the opposite effect.  

I see from here (think this is the right one):
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phplib/php-lib-stable/php/db_mysql.inc?rev=1.11&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

that you haven't switched to (on line 72):
$this->halt("connect($Host, $User, \$Password) failed.");

If you have to change the wait_timeout, what would be considered a low
(buit reasonable) value?

Any additional insights on this would be appreciated..  

Mike

Joe is placing some new code, but it is not related to your problem.
I just downloaded the previous one (20021015.patches.tgz), tried it just =

and it works fine with globals_off.

You know what? in the pages dir, sometimes is include (./prepend.php) and=

some other is include (prepend.php)
In the latter case you prepend what is in the php.ini include_path, in th=

Isn't that you have two different files prepended?

Or it may be some differences between actual php and v 4.1.2 you are usin=

Is it that the $_SESSION stuff was not there then?

Dunno, give me some more clue.

... but a necessary kludge with some (broken) web browsers.  The IMP CVS 
has the following checkin comment:

move all href="javascript:..." to href="" onclick="...; return false;"
this should fix the IE+frames+ssl+nt4 problems where IE would drop

[Phplib-users] Sess4 globals off (still) :)

[Matt W. <li...@ye...>]

Hi all

I'm having trouble with using session4.inc with register globals off.

I downloaded the latest tarball from snapshots and put it on a clean doma=
in.

I left all settings as they were, apart from the db user/pass and it all=20
worked fine with reg globals on. I changed over to prepend.php, again usi=
ng=20
reg globals on and this too worked fine.

So I swithc over to reg globals off and......... nothing. Mozilla keeps=20
spitting "Document contains no data".

One thing I did notice however, is that if I start a session and authenti=
cate=20
aith globals on then turn globals off and reload the page, the user count=
 is=20
incremented but the session one isn't.

Surely I must have missed something here considering all the activity on =
the=20
lists about this but this is the 4th time I've tried to get this working =
and=20
it just won't happen.

Can anyone shed any light, please?

I'm using php4.12 with apache on linux.

Cheers

[Phplib-users] nice loginform

[Kacper K. <gh...@ki...>]

Hello!

i have md5 auth on my page.
because of problems with timeouts (although i have increased
time it seams that authentication timer is not refreshing after
opening other pages...) i have decided
to rebuild my whole site.

two questions:
1. which version should i use (is snapshot well-tested?)
2. what am i supposed to do, if i want to display
login box in a corner of my page (or one of my frames)
when user is not logged in and to display logged user
name in the same place on the page?


greetings,

its possible. php uses the regex libs from the host machine and
sometimes quirky differences from host to host surface. usually ive only
seen quirks in the case of malformed regex's like your [a-Z]. even if
you had put them in the proper order [A-z] you would still be including
some characters between Z and a that im sure were unintended (like the
'\'). i couldnt even say why it would work at all in any environment.

hm, i just tested the egrep ranges from the command line of a linux box
and a solaris box. the linux one seems to 'know what i mean.' the
solaris one throws an error on [a-Z] but includes the intervening
characters on [A-z] so there is indeed a compliance issue here.

Re: FW: [Phplib-users] OOHForms and RegEx

[Peter T. <pte...@te...>]

Some more comments after reading your question more thorough:

A possible reason for the difference in behaviour between your host and 
intranet server could be caused by the locale settings on different machines.
For instance, accented characters are supposed to be in the [a-zA-Z] 
character class only when the running system has the right system locale 
settings. Tricky when porting your code to a different machine, because 
your carefully crafted regexp might be evaluated differently.

Unfortunately I haven't figured out where to set these locales.

Re: FW: [Phplib-users] OOHForms and RegEx

[Andrew H. <ah...@ni...>]

its possible. php uses the regex libs from the host machine and 
sometimes quirky differences from host to host surface. usually ive only 
seen quirks in the case of malformed regex's like your [a-Z]. even if 
you had put them in the proper order [A-z] you would still be including 
some characters between Z and a that im sure were unintended (like the 
'\'). i couldnt even say why it would work at all in any environment.

hm, i just tested the egrep ranges from the command line of a linux box 
and a solaris box. the linux one seems to 'know what i mean.' the 
solaris one throws an error on [a-Z] but includes the intervening 
characters on [A-z] so there is indeed a compliance issue here.

a.g.h

Re: FW: [Phplib-users] OOHForms and RegEx

[Peter T. <pte...@te...>]

I made a comment on this in the online manual 
http://www.sanisoft.com/phplib/manual/

The client uses the Javascript regex engine and the server uses the PHP 
engine. They evaluate differently.
You can avoid problems by switching off the client verification. (the 
rexexp gets verified by the server anyway).

Regards,
Peter
