Detect The Users Operating System Using PHP
Is it possible to detect a users operating system using PHP or is this
something for Javascript? I ask because I am trying getting some bugs
with a minor javascript script that is generating bugs when run using
IE on the Mac. The javascript, although a fancy feature, isnt all that
important to the page so Im just going to disable it from the server
for Mac users (sorry guys), at least until I figure out the way it will
display on the Mac.
I havent yet tested it in non-IE browsers (Firefox, Opera etc) on the
Mac. Can I also find out what browser software the Mac user is using.
If it works in other Mac browsers I can simply just disable it for IE
Mac users.

Users File System
I have being trying fo find the best solution for this problem for 2 days now and I am not able to find a solution.I need help. I explain the problem: A customer needs a system so that when a user is registered in his web, automatically he is assigned with a folder or folders and permissions to these folders (basicaly upload, download).Then users and permissions have to be editable in an easy way. Example of needings: He has two groups (costumers and workers). The first group(costumers) .Each user of the group only sees his own folder and has download and upload privileges by default. The second group (workers):Each user sees his own folder with upload and download privileges by default and all the members of the group also see a common folder with only privileges download by default The environment is: The customer uses a local machine with Windows Xp/Apache2 to host the server and I´m free to install any application. After searching a lot of information I have tried a lot of things: 1- Ftp server, using the ftp_site function to achieve the desired actions.With this I have a lot of problems: - I haven´t found a ftp server that has the site commands I need to achieve the action of adding users, assign them a set of folders and assign the permissions over these folders to the user . 2- Ftp server, with odbc support for user management.For example Serv-u.This would be a nice solution so I would handle serv-u user permissions using directly php and mysql.But the problem is: I haven´t been able to configure this server with mysql odbc I have also tried blackmoon and others. Also there´s the problem of software and platform dependancy and the big headache of the no standardization .What would happen if the costumer wants to change his local server to a remote server?.

System(); Command Not Working On Remote System. Windows.
My server is a windows machine, on the same domain as python(also a windows machine). Apache is running as a service as an administrator. This is a test only environment to whom it may concern(I hate people telling me how insecure my system is) I'm just trying to run: $last_line = exec('dir pythonc$', $retval, $g); print_r($retval); echo '<br>'.$g.'<br>'; echo '$last_line= '.$last_line.'<br>'; Which outputs: Array ( ) 1 $last_line= The command from the command line works fine. And apache can access directories that only administrators can access on the local machine.

How Can I Detect SMTP?
How can I detect SMTP? I have a php script that wont send out an email, no errors, so I think the SMTP is disabled? I'm not sure how that part works. This script isn't for me, and I don't know if there server will have the capabilities to send php email. So, before I tell php to send the email, I want to see if it can send an email. So I have a few questions: 1.) How can I detect SMTP settings? 2.) How do I enable or install SMTP? 3.) Is there a way to turn SMTP on from a PHP script?

How Do Xml Parsers Detect Bad Characters?
2 years ago I asked, on this newsgroup, how to weed out non-UTF-8 characters from my RSS feed. I was told that I could not do so with certainty, but I could try various tricks that would give me maybe 99%. I notice, however, that XML parsers seem to have 100% certainty when they find bad characters. Consider the last error that I get from this validation service: What PHP code would give me this kind of 100% certainty? It seems to me that, whatever the XML parsers do to determine a bad character, I could also do, so as to make sure no such character makes it into my feed.

MySQL- Detect Values
I am trying to make a system that detects wherther an entry has been made in the database containing a certain value. More accurately, the system checks the database of usernames to see if the username the user entered in the sign up page has been used. If not, it allows the name to be used, if so, it does not allow it to be used. The database stores the information in the cells: username, password, and userID (an auto-incrementing cell) The database is called usernames. What I am asking for is the code I would use to do the username check. Basically: if (username has been used) { don't allow user to sign up, and present an error message } else { allow user to sign up, and complete the registration process }

Detect Ended Session
I have a standard login page. If a user leaves the page for a while and then comes back they try and browse and are redirected to this page. This is confusing them . When a user's session expires I need to tell them that they have been logged out due to inactivity for n minutes. However, I do not want to put this on the page before they have logged in. What is left of a session when it expires? Is it completely destroyed by PHP? Is there any way of making a distinction between a session that was never created and one which has expired? My session looks something like this: Array ( [user_id] => 99999999 [permission] => 45 )

How To Detect If Clients Are Using A Proxy
I need to know if clients access my website directly or through a proxy. this is for security requirements. I used a code like the following: if($_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]||$_SERVER["HTTP_VIA"]|| $_SERVER["HTTP_CLIENT_IP"]) echo "proxy connection"; else echo "direct connection"; However this worked only when accessing the website through http:// but when accessing it through https:// all variables $_SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"] and $_SERVER["HTTP_VIA"] and $_SERVER["HTTP_CLIENT_IP"] are empty I used a public proxy server for testing. Its IP is 200.65.127.163 port is 80 It supports both normal http and secured http connections. N.b: I know there are the highly anonymous proxies that normally can't be detected but at least I need to detect the normal anonymous proxies when opening my website through ssl.

Looking For A Good Way To Detect Server Platform
I'm currently writing a wee library tool in PHP. It generates a few (actually a lot) of temporary files and directories, so I need to setup some garbage collection. I can do this a lot more effeciently from the shell on a POSIX system than writing lots of PHP code, but the former wont to work if someone tries to run it on a different platform. (If on Unix/Linux/... I can use 'at now' to sperate the process group, and use 'find' to delete the aged files). Anybody got any hot tips on how to detect the platform? (I guess I could search the $PATH for 'at' and 'find' but I was looking for a quicker fix)
Detect Change Of Remote Page
i have some links on my site, i need to be absolutely sure that the html has not been modified, even one character. i would rather not rely on http headers, just the html (so it is not dependant on the webserver). should i make a database to actually mirror the page, and then check against my copy? any better ideas? :)
