Cron Job Creates Php Files
I have a cron job that is running on my server. Its set to run every half hour. It works great, but it has an annoying little quirk. Everytime the cron job is run, it creates a php file in the root directory of my server. Since its running every 1/2 hour, I get a bucnh of files on my root directory and I have to manually delete them everyday. I've posted the code for my cron job below.

Netscape Creates 2 Files For My Sessions

Trouble Including Relative PHP Files From Cron Jobs
I have a php file /home/mysite.com/httpdocs/admin_section/report.php that as part of the script includes another file ../connections/connect.php. Report.php works perfectly when I open it from a webbrowser (mysite.com/admin_section/admin.php), but when I run from my crontab or command line via: # /usr/bin/php /home/mysite.com/httpdocs/admin_section/report.php The report.php file then chokes on the include. "PHP Warning: main(../connections/connect.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in..." And the strange thing is this used to work before my server was upgraded by tech support. If I get rid of the relative path and include the full server path to connect.php, it works perfectly (but because I have a number of scripts like this, it isn't practical for me to change any of the PHP code). Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Cron Job Creating Backup Files In Root Folder On Server
In root folder of my server, I see files like optimize.php.95(optimize.php is the file name we added for cron); files go from .1 and upward. Also happens for other files, seemingly related to the cron jobs we are running. When I open and download the files, there is no content in the files. Do you know what is causing these files to be created? I think they are harmless, except that I think it prevents us from seeing backups generated in root folder, as ftp only allows so many files to be listed. For example, I created a recent backup, but cant seem to find it in the root folder using ftp (I think because these files are crowding out the backups from being listed). Are these files unnecessary? How do we eliminate these files to be created.

My Insert Creates
I cannot figure how to fix it. That snippet should be used to grab an ID which it does fine Then insert that ID in a col named "member_web_address" As mentioned it does get the ID and insert it But not on the row where from the ID was taken . It does insert it on a new row created by the insert action Which due to the auto increment creates a new ID etc... How can I keep the original row and pass its ID # to the "member_web_address" col in the very same row <? $query = "select id from templates where username= '$username' and page= '$page' "; $result= mysql_query ($query); while($query_data=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $member_web_address=($query_data["id"]); } $query = "select id from templates where username= '$username' and page= '$page' "; $result= mysql_query("insert INTO phplates (member_web_address) values ('$member_web_address')"); ?>

CURL Creates New Session
I currently have a curl session that can access hundreds of different pages on a site. One thing I noticed with it is that it is initiating a new session of the server that is accessing. I don't want it to create a million sessions, just use the one it currently has. I am going to guess that if curl_close($ch) is called, then it is is reinitiated curl_init, it restarts the session correct.

Looking For Script That Creates List Of Referrers
I've been looking for a script that will create a real-time list of 'top referrers', similar to the links to sites you see on the left of the page at http://www.linkswarm.com. They also have a page http://www.linkswarm.com/referrers/referrers.php which shows all referrers. I'm assuming you'd be able to set filters. There is no signup required, you just link to the site and your site appears in the referrers list, but as a webmaster, you wouldn't want to include search engines for example.

Creates A Database On Any Server Via A Web Page.
I have basically an install script that creates a database and all the tables and fields. This works great on the local IIS I have on this machine, but that's because I have 1 password for all databases.

Script Creates Owner As Apache
I am using a fantastic script called Photofolio from www.billwadman.com/photofolio and everything is awesome with it except that when you call the file "buildthumbnails.php" and it builds your thumbnail folders it creates them with the owner name as "apache" and permissions at 644. The problem here that you may suspect is that I cannot go in and delete those files in any of my FTP programs of DW because I am not the "owner". My hosting company says I will have to manually lodge a ticket each time to have the folders deleted. THis seems like a pain in the arse. could anyone offer any help into this situation? or will this really be the case that they will have to delete the files. The only other option I see is Bill Wadman creating some sort of script that will go in and delete the fies or folder directories for you.

Securing Code That Creates Images
I have a pretty nice php web site, that's also reasonably secure. However, I wrote some php code to create some dynamic images based on database data, but I can't figure out how to secure this script? when I reference the php code via img src="myimage.php", none of my session variables are available for use in the script. So, without my session variables, how am I suppose to ensure that the script is only run by a valid user, rather than just anyone who can blindly type in random parameters to my image creation script?

'exec' Creates Popup Windows
I'm running php under apache (I'm using the uniserv distribution) on Windows XP. Every time I execute an external command using backticks or exec or system, I get a cmd windows that pops up for the 1/4 second the command executes. This would all be fine, except that I'm deploying the server to run locally on the user's box, and needless to say, the popups are annoying. I've search everything I'm clever enough to understand and can't find a way to get the external commands to run in the 'background'. All of the input and output of the commands have been redirected, any shell command causes this behavious, and in all other respects it all seems to work great.

$_SESSION Problem - Page Reload Creates New Session ID
I am having trouble using the session vars in PHP 4.3.9 OS: Win XP Prof Web Server IIS (is local and there are no links to other servers from the web pages I work on) Browser: IE 6.0 The problem I am having is that each time I reload the same PHP page, I get a different Session ID (and thus all session vars are lost from one page to another). let's say in firstpage.php I set $_SESSION["firstvar"] = "someval"; $_SESSION["secvar"] = "otherval"; and in secpage.php I try to retrieve $_SESSION["firstvar"] , it gives me "Undefined Index error" I did not know what is happening and when printing out the session id (echo SID;) I found out that the ID is changing every time page is reloaded or when moving to another page. The problem is that I don't know what might reset the session since I use "session_auto_start" and have not played with session_start, session_destroy or anything else.

Unable To Write A File In A Directory That My PHP Script Creates
I've a problem of being able to create and remove a directory but unable to write a file inside the created directory for some strange reason. I suspect that this problem could be vaguely linked to Safe mode being set to On since my site is using shared server hosting and probably insufficient/incorrect Unix file permission. Below is my test script that helps me narrow down the problem. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <html> <head> <title>File IO Test</title> </head> <body> <pre> <?php define("TEST_DIR", "./newsletter/2005_11"); define("TEST_FILE", "./newsletter/2005_11/file_io_test.txt"); echo "Make Directory"; if(mkdir(TEST_DIR, 0777)){ echo "<font color="green">OK</font> "; } else{ echo "<font color="red">Fail</font> "; } if(file_exists(TEST_DIR) && is_dir(TEST_DIR)){ echo TEST_DIR . " exists. "; } else{ echo TEST_DIR . " does not exists. "; } echo "<hr> "; // TEST FILE WRITE echo "Write Open File"; $file_handle = fopen(TEST_FILE, "w"); if($file_handle){ echo "OK"; } else{ echo "Fail"; } fwrite($file_handle, "This file is written at " . date("Y/m/d H:i:s") . " "); echo "Write Close File"; if(fclose($file_handle)){ echo "<font color="green">OK</font> "; } else{ echo "<font color="red">Fail</font> "; } echo "--- START FILE DUMP --- "; readfile(TEST_FILE); echo "--- END FILE DUMP --- "; echo "<hr>"; ?> </body> </html> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This script will report a success with the creation of the directory on my server, but fails to write a file inside the newly created directory. Originally, I only call mkdir without specifying any permission and it doesn't work. Thus I explicitly instruct mkdir to use 0777 to allow all write operation by everybody, in case PHP and Apache try to write files using "nobody" or "www" user account, instead of my shell login user account. Still it doesn't work. The owner of the created directory is called "www". When I login via SSH and check the permission, strangely, the permission is 775 instead, with Write permission for Others disabled, although I told mkdir to use 0777 instead. Is there any workaround, and what am I doing wrong here? Thanks for sharing with me any insight into this problem. I'm not quite sure what exactly is wrong here, whether because of PHP Safe mode, incorrect directory permission, incorrect file permission or the case of different UID or owner.

CRON
I am just starting messing with CRON. I can set up a cron job to run a php script each hour, but I have several web sites on one server that may need a script running. I was contemplating running one "manager" script each hour that would check a mysql table and where necessary run one of a range of possible scripts, probably one at a time to spread any load. 1. Is this the best way of doing this? If yes, what fields do you recommend? (id, ref, scriptURL, timestamp, active(1/0)) Is it worth creating a log file to keep an eye on what and when scripts have run?

Non-Cron Crons
I need to 'run' a php script on a scheduled basis (i.e. hourly). However, my hosting company doesn't allow crons and the like. My alternate strategy is to have my pc dial up and call the controlling php page. Does anyone know of a scheduling/dial-up utility (which will run under NT) that will help me achieve my goal? Or any other methods? It's been suggested that I let visitors trigger the script, but the script processing may take some time and annoy the user. I realise this isn't strictly a php question, but was hoping others might have found themselves in the same situation as myself and now have a solution.

It doesn't update the page. I'm using Cpanel and I don't know if that may be the problem or what... My absolute basic question is... How do I call this url via cron/shell and have it update? http://members.mydomain.com/script.php?update=true I'm pulling my hair out here and my "buddy" won't work on this unless I'm paying him because he says the script is fine! - UH!
