Is there a better way to log someone out from your pages?  I'm having
intermittent security holes popup when someone logs out from my pages
but then hits 'back' a bunch of times.

[Phplib-users] Problems with nested blocks using template

[Diethart G. <dg...@ma...>]

I try to realize a simple link-list ordered and grouped by categories.
It should look like 
        
0 group0
0 someText Link  
0 Text Link
...               ...
1 group1
1 Text Link
...
...

It results in a list with correct groups but shifted link-lines starting
with last group number:

0 group0
3 someText Link  
3 Text Link
...               ...
1 group1
0 Text Link
...
2 group2
1 Text Link
...

affected part of my php-File:
...
$t->set_file(array(
		   "verz"   => "tpl.ihtml",
		   ...
));

$q_list = sprintf ("SELECT l.grnr, group, txt, link FROM lists l, groups g WHERE l.grnr = g.grnr ORDER BY l.grnr, txt");
$db->query ($q_list);

$t->set_block('verz', 'listrow', 'listrows');
$t->set_block('verz', 'titlerow', 'titlerows');

$gnr = -1; 
while ($db->next_record()) {  
  if ($gnr != $db->f("grnr")) {
    $gnr = $db->f("grnr");
    $t->set_var(array(
		      "TNR"    => $db->f("grnr"),
		      "TTITLE" => $db->f("group")
		    ));
    $t->parse("titlerows", "titlerow", true);

    $t->set_var (listrows, '');
  }

  $t->set_var(array(
		    "LNR"   => $db->f("grnr"),
		    "TEXT"  => $db->f("txt"), 
		    "LINK"  => $db->f("link")
		    ));
  $t->parse("listrows", "listrow", true);

} 
...
$t->parse("OUT", "verz", true);
$t->p("OUT");
?>

Template:

...
</td> <td>
    <ul>
      <!-- BEGIN titlerow -->
      <a name="{TTITLE}">
      <li><h4>{TNR} &nbsp; {TTITLE}</h4></a></li>

	    <table>
	      <!-- BEGIN listrow -->
	      <tr>
	      <td>
		  {LNR}
	      </td>
	      <td>
		  {TEXT}
	      </td>
	      <td>
		  <a href="http://{LINK}" target="_new">{LINK}</a>
	      </td>
	      </tr>
	      <!-- END listrow -->
            </table>
    <!-- END titlerow -->
    </ul>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
...

I did some rearrangements but got empty listrows or wrong
assignment. template.inc is 1.8, PHP3 or 4.x 
Thanks for any suggestion.

There's a copy of the documentation in SGML in CVS and in HTML in the
releases (e.g. phplib-7.2d/doc/).

What is stored in session the object name and class name (this is why the
PHPLib classes all have $classname) that will be re-created on subsequent
pages.

[Phplib-users] just a development thought

[darcy w. c. <da...@el...>]

hi,

  while i've been developing my phplib app, i've run into a situation
where it might be useful to create a phplib function.  The scenerio is
one in which i'm using header("Location: ...") to redirect to another
page.  What i have discover (which of course may be obvious to many) is
that in order for session variables to take, the page_close function
needs to be called.  What i'm wondering about is whether it might be a
nice idea to create a kind of phplib_redirect function.  One in which
page_close is called and then header("Location: ...").  i think this
might be nice for novice users, who may not necessarily realize the
importance of closing the page before redirecting.  i myself found it a
little confusing to have two page_close() in the document, until i
understood the problem better.  Anyway, it's just a thought.  i'm not
sure whether anyone else thinks this is a good idea or where in the
phplib it should go.

[Brian P. <bp...@ct...>]

BinaryCloud (binarycloud.com) is another alternative. Unfortunately, I don't
know much about it. I took a look at it a while back and it was still a
little underdeveloped (relative to PHPLib). I don't know if this has
changed?

PHPLib is designed to be an _integrated_ library for web apps whereas PEAR
is a best-of-breed repository. Some classes that started in PHPLib have been
migrated to or included in PEAR (Templates and OO-Forms). 

Personally, I build my projects thus:
1. lay down PHPLib foundation
2. extend and tweak PHPLib where desirable
3a. grab other code (classes or snippets) from previous projects, or
3b. grab other code from online repositories (PEAR, PHPBuilder, etc) and
tweak where necessary, or
3b. write new classes

[Phplib-users] PHPLIB setup

[twidlar <tw...@cr...>]

OK, PHPLIB is installed into PHPTriad \apache\php and php.ini,
PHPTriad's 
index.php has come up properly.

I moved on in the installation of PHPLIB.

To fix ERROR 1049: unknown database 'example_database' while trying
to do 'create_database.mysql', I found and downloaded the MySQL
manual. I found there is a CREATE DATABASE needed before the 
tables can be created, which is all create_database.mysql does.

So I created the database then the tables.

I then ran index.php3. No sweat. Sessions and database work for me.

Next, to get ZendIDE to talk to PHPTriad (Apache, PHP, MySQL) + PHPLIB.

Thanks

[Phplib-users] PHPLIB setup

[twidlar <tw...@cr...>]

Now that I have installed (maybe) PHPLIB into PHPTriad \apache\php 
and php.ini, I have gotten PHPTriad's index.php to come up properly.

I moved on in the installation of PHPLIB.

For step 5 of PHP Base Library Documentation (page 2 of 7), 
in local.inc, I left the definition of DB_Example alone.

  class DB_Example extends DB_Sql {
    var $Host     = "localhost";
    var $Database = "example_database";
    var $User     = "example_user";
    var $Password = "";
  }

For step 6 I executed the DOS commands

  cd   c:\apache\php\phplib-7.2d\stuff\
  c:\apache\mysql\bin\mysql -h localhost example_database
<create_database.mysql

The result was ERROR 1049: unknown database 'example_database'.

It looks like these commands are to set up tables but not the 
database itself. What I need to do for that?

Thanks

You've got the library in a useable location, so you're ready to start
incorporating the libraries into your projects. I'd recommend starting with
the database (db_mysql.inc) and template (template.inc) classes, then the
Session/Authorization/Permissions trio.

[Phplib-users] PHPLIB setup

[twidlar <tw...@cr...>]

I am trying to setup PHPLIB inside my local server, PHPTriad (Apache,
PHP, MySQL).

  c:\apache\htdocs        the Document Base for 'localhost'.
  c:\apache\php           contains PHP 

The home page 'c:\apache\htdocs\index.php' (included below) worked fine.

To install PHPLIB

 I downloaded phplib-7.2d.zip.
 I unzipped in to c:\apache\php\phplib-7.2d\.
 I modified c:\apache\php\php.ini thus

    auto_prepend_file  = \apache\php\phplib-7.2d\php\prepend.php3
    include_path    = 
".;\apache\includes;\apache\htdocs\;\apache\htdocs\phpmyadmin;
       \apache\php\;\apache\php\phplib-7.2d\php\"

 Now when I access \localhost\index.php,  I get the message 

    Warning: Failed opening '\apache\php\phplib-7.2d\php\prepend.php3'
for inclusion
      
(include_path='.;\apache\includes;\apache\htdocs\;\apache\htdocs\phpmyadmin;
       \apache\php\;\apache\php\phplib-7.2d\php\') in 
       Unknown on line 0

 File '\apache\php\phplib-7.2d\php\prepend.php3' exists.  

 When I change php.ini back to "auto_prepend_file  = ",
\localhost\index.php works.

Does this mean I can't use 'auto_prepend'?
Did I install PHPLIB wrong?

Thanks

[Phplib-users] PHPlib + MySQL Errors

[Sascha R. <Rag...@pe...>]

Hi to all,

one small question: I am running phplib with a mysql db.

Everything works fine, except that I get under the mysql errorlog the
following messages, while connecting to the db:
"Aborted connection 1 to db: 'xxx' user: 'ODBC' host: `localhost' (Unknown
error)"

The Problem is, the web solution is running quite well, it only gives out
errors in the errorlog. I am also not using the user "ODBC", so I think its
got something to do with the phplib. I want to clean out that problem.

Does anyone have a idea about that? Thanks in advance...

[Phplib-users] php4 sessions in mysql

[Daniel B. <bo...@io...>]

if I am understanding correctly, in order to store php4 sessions in the
database, I need to use

phplib/php-lib/php/session/session4.inc
and
phplib/php-lib/php/session/session4_custom.inc


and not any other version of session4.inc
there seems to be a lot of them.  Are they all the same?

on a similar note, when is the CVS repository going to be cleaned up?
it's really confusing the way everything is orgainzed now.

[Phplib-users] page_close in loginform?

[darcy w. c. <da...@el...>]

hi,

  i'm wondering whether anyone can see any dangers in having a
page_close() at the end of my loginform.  i have a history variable
which i keep in a session variable.  i've modified page.inc to update
the history at each page.  i've also setup a no_cache variable so that i
force certain pages not to be included in the history.  It seems to work
great <aside comment="possible inclusion in phplib?"/>.  i use the
history mainly to guide the user through certain transistions (ie.
login, logout).  i have an instance where i want to guide the user back
to a page that is auth protected.  Unfortunately, it wasn't being
included in the history until the user is authenticated.  i realized
that this was because the session variable wasn't being saved, since the
auth loginform doesn't finish the session with a page_close.  So, i
think to myself, what don't i just include a page_close at the end of
the loginform.  i tested it and it seems to work.   i wanted to field
this with the group to see if anyone can think of any problems that
might occur because of this.  i know, i know, there's no better judge
then testing it, but i figured since i don't know phplib that well, i
might be missing some obvious issue.  i appreciate the help.

I'm still playing with all the configurations to see what is

nfs mounted session vars is probably gunna be slower than mysql

[Phplib-users] mod_backhand and phplib

[Daniel B. <bo...@io...>]

just wondering if anyone had tried using mod_backhand with phplib?

mod_backhand is a load balancing apache module. =20
www.backhand.org

with session.inc it's pretty trivial (since everything is stored in the
database),=20
but I am having trouble with session4.inc.

I am trying to get all the load balanced machines to store the phpsess
files on the same nfs mounted machine in the same folder so they can all
access it.  Works almost all the time, but I do get random logouts.  I
suspect it is when both machines try to write the new session info at
the same time.

has anyone tired mod_backhand at all?  and has anyone used the
mod_backhand bySession variable with phplib?

thanks
