Require File In Folder Above Public_HTML.
I have a functions file in my /home folder. My web directory in /home/public_html/ . I have a header file in /home/public_html/assets/includes/header.php . The top line on the header.php is <?php require("../../databases.inc"); ?> The problem is that whenever I include my header in a folder (ie. /home/public_html/videos/index.php) it will not get the databases.inc file as its now looking in public_html instead of my /home folder. Is there any function in the $_SERVER functions or anything simliar to detect how many folders it has to navigate to inorder to find the functions file?
Anyone Know How To Create Automatic Download Using CURL And Creating A New Folder Every Day???
I want to save a zip file daily. The file is named the same thing each day so I would like to create a folder and name it with today's date and then save the zip file into that folder. I'm using this code and can't seem to figure out how to create the new folder and save the file there. Any help is appreciated! $todays_date = date("Ymd"); $fp = fopen (dirname(__FILE__) . '/file.zip', 'w+');//This is the file where we save the information $ch = curl_init('http://www.downloadhere.com/file.zip');//Here is the file we are downloading curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 50); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp); So each day I should have something like 20070807file.zip.

Files And Folder Copying
I am trying to write a function to copy an existing folder and folder structure but am already stuck. What I want to do is the following: Copy a default folder (default_folder) and all sub folders within it (down to a possible 4 levels) eg default folder ->subfolder1 ->subfolder2 ->sub subfolder1 ->sub sub folder 2 I have a form where the user can enter the name of the new folder and an option to confirm if they want to copy the files also located within the default folder. If the checkbox is not checked then copy just the folder structure only Can this be acheived in one function or will it be based on 2 where a set of empty folders are created and where the folders and files are copied over
What Is The Max PDF Files Allowed In A Folder?
Not sure where to put this question? I am building a book archives database with a front-end for some librarians. They want to upload book cover images onto the server (probably Win-NT). There are approximately 80000 records that will have the book cover images stored in a PDF document for each. Can I upload every PDF to the same folder? Is there some kind of limit for a folder?

Opening Files In The Same Folder..
I have a php file (1.php) that needs to open another php file (2.php) and parse it's output. 2.php gets it's data from an xml file and formats it in a pretty screen style. So what I need is something like: $fp = fopen ("2.php?file=file.xml","r"); but that wont work because there is no file called ƈ.php?file=file.xml' so how's it done?
Root Of Folder App Files
While I know putting a app into a folder was chiseled out of fine scottish granite and carried upto the top of ben nevis by php newbies many years ago - I dont think a folder is the best way to do it . The fact a script is in a folder means certain instant problems if you want to do certain things with . Assuming a script doesnt have index.php and all the script files have a filename prefix like phpgb_ then theres no chance of them clashing with anything else and theres no real reason to continue using a folder for the main script files . While the script will have a app folder for various things - does it make any sense not to use the root because of a single solitary file called index.php . phpgb_index.php is what I use and the method hasnt brought up a single problem of any shape or description . Gas lighting was once what everybody thought was the best way of doing it until that darn new fangled electricity came along .
1 - 2 Millions Files In One Folder?
I have to store over a million files, 10 - 15 kb each, in one folder. The files are created by my php script, sometimes the old files are deleted and new ones are written. So, basically on every connection my script reads/deletes/ writes files from/to that folder. Right now i have only around 300 000 files in that folder, and it feels like its getting slower for that script to work. It does work at the moment, but i am not sure what will happen when there is over a million files there... Are there any limits of files that can be stored in a folder? Would it be better for me to use mysql? I am not sure how mysql will cope with millions of writes/reads
How Does One Get A List Of All Files In A Folder?

The directory contains around 20,000 files , about 10,000 are generated each day (if they dont exist) So getting info about the each file after using opendir will cause the server to slow down.

I Can Upload Files Anywhere Except My Remote Root Folder
Im working on a project with PHP that allows users to upload pictures to my server and then reference them. After going through some uploading tutorials I have the uploading part working Except! I cant upload folders to my remote root folder. I need to allow the users to upload somewhere inside the root folder so they can reference the pictures in code after. Just to clarify the uploading works perfectly if I put the uploads folder anywhere on my computer except the sites remote root folder (or anywhere inside the root folder) I also beleive I am giving the folder all of the proper permissions because I am giving the uploads folder in my root directory (the one that doesnt work) the same permissions as the one outside the root (the one that works) Code:
Some Files Created Automatically In Mysql Database Folder

Problem With Require() And Script Under Public_html
I'm trying to include PEAR's Net_IPv4 module in a web PHP script I'm coding. Using PHP v4.4.0. Other scripts on this web server (not personal user scripts, but main site ones) call it with: require_once("Net/IPv4.php"); and it works. My script is under my public_html directory and if I use that same line I get a "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: validateip() in /home/james/public_html/test/srt/srt-0_3.php on line 258". I thought that maybe PHP safe mode was on (theoretically it's not, but since I don't own that IPv4.php file...), so I placed my own copy of IPv4.php in my own public_html, then in the same dir as the script, then under Net directories in each of the two previous ones, always with the same error message. This server's include path is set to: include_path = ".:/usr/lib/php" According to my interpretation of the documentation, if I use "require_once("./IPv4.php");" and include IPv4.php in the script's same directory it should work... what am I missing here?
I Can't See Any Dll Files In Php Download?
I downloaded the windows binary php4.0.4 from php.net and it says to move a certain dll file to your windows directory. I looked in the dll folder and it is empty. So, I tried downloading a php/apache package at a site just for windows users, and when I unzipped that package, I saw the dll files scrolling by in the unpacker window, but once again the dll folder was empty. Where are they?
How Do I Hide Files From Download Without Php?
I want to hide files or better say restrict access to them for usual download. I want to send them just to allowed users with php? How do I do that? I've tried to put variuos permisions on the directory, and then run this code: <? header("Content-type: application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=file.rar"); $ff = fopen("restricted/anyName.zip", 'r'); fpassthru($ff); ?> If there are any restrictions, user downloads only 400b file, if there's no restrictions user gets normal filesize.
Zip Files, Then Force Download
Is there any examples or scripts that already will do this? I need to zip an arbitrary amount of files, say maybe a $files array full of path names to the files filled dynamically from database based on an id number... then i need it to automatically force a download of the zip file to the browser, then automatically delete the zip file when its finished...
Select Files To Download
i have made a page with several photos of a party. There is a index in the page, and under each thumbnail there is a checkbox. With them people can select the photos that he's going to download, but i don't know how i can send the selected photos. I think "compress" all the selected photos in a file and send it, but i couldn't do it. I used zlib and bz2 libraries, but i dont know how i can put more than one file, and even with an only file the compress file dont work. What i make is open the file, read it and then compress the string get of the read in the new compress file, but this file is empty or have a code of the zlib.
Corrupted ZIP Files During Download Via PHP
I am posting this rather lengthy description here in hope of getting at least some insight into a problem that is really hurting my business, since I have come to the conclusion that my problem is at least partly PHP-related. Some time now I have been having transfer problems, i.e. my customers downloads of large binary (ZIP) files are often corrupt. A corrupted file now and then can of course never be avoided, but I get several complaints from customers every day. Of any specific file, approx. 1 out of 4 downloads (larger than 100kB or so) are affected. I have spent months trying to find the source of the problems without success, but I have been able to rule out many possible causes. Here are some facts: 1) The actual files are OK on the server. Direct (unencrypted) links are fine, so it's not a general problem. 2) About 50% of the customers download (the exact same files) from another source. I don't even get 1 complaint every two months from those customers, while I get 1-3 complaints _every day_ from those who download from my server. 3) The customers have various SW/HW/OS, so it's very unlikely that it's a user problem. Plus, the same customer often download from both places, but only have problems with the files from my server. 4) I have shut down all scripts for a while, so that only a static website remained, but it didn't help. 5) I have had this problem on three servers: The present RaQ550, the previous RaQ4 and the RaQ4 I had before that. So it's highly unlikely that it is server-related. 6) I can easily reproduce the problem myself. As I looked into this I found a systematic error: Analyzing corrupt vs. clean ZIP file downloads with a binary/hex editor clearly shows that the error is systematic. Clean ZIP files have a lot of ༼h' bytes in them. In ALL of the corrupt ZIP files ALL (well, most) of these bytes have been exchanged for ƋC30h', i.e. TWO bytes ( 00h -> 5C30h ) ! Since ƋC30h' equals an escaped zero, i.e. "", my guess is that there is a translation error somewhere. So, what does PHP have to do with this? Well, my download links to purchaseware are encrypted by the PHP "ewportal": From the few facts I have been able to uncover it seems there is sometimes a problem with corrupted ZIP files depending on the setting/compilation of ZLIB. If anyone on this forum have experienced similar things I would very much appreciate if they could share. My servers PHP configuration is at:
Protect Download Files
I´m developping an application that needs to show some videos, but in a protected envinroment. Any user must be authenticated to see the videos. But for example, if anyone know the path of the videos, can access directly to this site and download it without authentication. If I write in the location bar the url of a video, I can download without problem because the application cannot test if the user is already authenticated or not. I´ve read something about RedirectMatch and it works well but now the users cannot see the videos. I try to write an example: ..- #I write this rule in the httpd.conf RedirectMatch (.*).avi$ /myapplication/tools/downloadfile.php?filename=$1 With this rule I redirect all the requests for the video files include the request of a window media player, but I don´t want to do this. When I show the video directly on the web, I don´t need to redirect but when is a direct request from url to download the file, I must check if the user is authenticated.
Browser Tries To Download .php Files Instead Of Executing Them
I'm running Redhat 9 and just upgraded from PHP 4.2.x to 4.3.1 and no when I try to execute a script on my local server here it opens a window to try and download any .php files. I think Apache isn't loading the module, but when I add in: LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so it can't find the module and I can't find it on my system under libexec or modules or anywhere else for that matter. What do I need to do to httpd.conf (or php.ini) to make it execute these scripts?

Download Files Quickly = Hang
This isn't exactly a PHP-related question, but I'm hoping that the community of developers here will have experience dealing with it. We want to allow users to view large files on our site, but we've realized that if users in IE click from one file to another too quickly (before the previous files have fully loaded), future files do not load until they close and reopen their browsers. We believe this is because of the two-concurrent-downloads limit -- apparently Firefox correctly recognizes when a download has been abandoned on the user's end, while IE does not, and this causes problems.
A Follow-up To My Download-all-files-as-a-zip-file Post
I made a script that successfully creates a .zip file of all the files in a directory on my web server, but now what I haven't figured out how to do is how to have it automatically deleted when the user successfully downloads it, as otherwise my server would eventually get clogged up with all these zip files.

Creating Download Manager For Multiple Files
Has anyone run across some sort of download manager to be able to download multiple files at a time via http with PHP? I run a mp3 site and I would like to be able to allow people to download whole folders at a time basically the same functionality as ftp but with http. It would be kind of like the smart download thing that netscape has but cross platform compatible. Any ideas?

Download Files From Remote Server To Local Webserver
I am trying to create a php page whereby people can download files from a remote server to their own server (to update their webdirectory with updated files/images etc). So for example one php page (e.g. update.php) should be able to download files from a remote server to a specific directory on their local webserver. Is this possible?
