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 .

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:
The Root Folder
I've a web site in the address http://mySite.com in the root, I've a file index.html I've some subfiolders insid root/sub1/sub2 I like to add an html file (or php) index.html that call the index.html of the root (in order to protect) Now I've created 2 different index.html because I use relative path to design the root (../index.html and ../../index.html) I like to have the same file in all folders,but I don't know how to call the root folder.
Access To Mp3 Files Below Web Root
I want to place some mp3 files below the web root directory to keep people from accessing these files. however i want certain php scripts to be able to use them (ie for a flash movie that plays mp3 files)whats the best way to accomplish this?
Accessing Files Outside Of The Web Root
Anyone got any pointers for a script and/or advice for accessing files that are outwith the root directory. I am using Apache on WIN2K Server (a box which is also running IIS on port 81). I want user to be able to select a file and have a script verify their security clearance level (although I have this part worked out already) and then to supply a relative url from the web page they are on - out of the web root - to the file in question. I have been toying with the 'realpath' function but to no avail thus far. I have tried using the path: ../../../files/{filename} where the path to the web root (from the page in question) is ../../../ on my notebook (running WINXP Pro and same version Apache and PHP this works fine) but on the production server it cannot find the path outwith the server root.
PHP Files Only Run In Root Directory?
I've installed a php forum script under a directory named 'forum', the script ran with no problems untill about a week ago, but now I get the following error: 'You don't have permission to access /forum/index.php on this server.' Its has nothing to do with CMOD, I've tried that. Worst still it's not just the forum it's any PHP file thats under a directory. The thing is, I can run a PHP file from the root directory, but for some reason can't run the same file under another directory. eg www.mywebsite/testfile.php --- will work fine www.mywebsite/newdirectory/testfile.php --- causes permission error Could it be a .htaccess problem? Heres my error log report: Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /home/mywebsite/public_html/forum/index.php P.S The forum script dosn't use CGI?
.tmp Files Being Placed In The Root Directory By The 100's, Want It To Stop
Hi folks, I have a bit of a problem, perhaps one of you knows what is going on. According to the sys admin at my ISP, something from my site (which is entirely php) is saving 100's of tiny files with the extension .tmp into the root directory on the server where my site is located. He doesn't know very much about PHP and neither do I (this is the first site I've ever produced using it) so neither of us knows what could be causing it, there is one other site hosted on that server that is running PHP and it is doing the same thing, although the lion's share of temporary files are coming from my site. I have a copy of the php.ini file that he emailed to me this morning, if it would help to post it please let me know and I will do so. We are not sure what is going on, but we would like to know if there is some way to make it stop (or at the very least, to get these files to destroy themselves once they're no longer usefull) Also: I would like to thank SilkySmooth for his mail script, I used it awhile back and it got the job done. Thanks so much!
Executing System Files Deep In The Root Tree
I am running on an linux box with ensim webppliance. Ensim is really cool because it has a hold folder of files that perform different tasks that you would normally do from the interface. My problem is, i don't want to do them by hand, i want one of my PHP scripts to executre them and return the results. Now, there are a few problems, like you have to be root to run these scripts, cus they are in /usr/local/bin. I tried shell_exec, and exec, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this correctly.

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).

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?
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

I use a cache system that requires creation of files in a folder . Now , what i need to know is how can i delete files created say 3 days ago. So that the cache remains fresh. 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.

Document Root Not Website Root
I want to use PHP in my website; but run into a snag, the recommended method of calling an include is: <?php include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/inc/css-gateway.inc"); ?> when I try <?php ECHO $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]; ?> the document root is shown as /usr/local/apache/htdocs/ However the website root is at: /mnt/home/www/canadian-dream.com/www How do I redirect $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] to the my website root?

How To Move Files To The "lib" Folder?
A client recently asked me to move a lot of code into the "lib" folder...and I'm not sure exactly how to do this without having the site blow up. I'm using Subversion and have a root-level folder structure that looks like this: * lib * logs * sql * src Currently, I have all of my web files in the "src" folder. There is a folder of include files in the "src > includes" folder. The client is asking to move these to the "lib" folder for security reasons. How do I do this?! I'm not sure how to move files outside the "src" folder and have the site still function properly.
Remove From $name (folder)/(folder)/[x]/ <-- If Exists To Just Get [x].
I'll be quite honest. I don't have the faintest idea how to do this, while I can do other php without a problem. Once I know how to go about it I'll be okay. It's two things I think? 1. see if there's a trailing slash and delete it. 2. Remove the preceding path to /x, the folders and slashes, and delete them. and then I have x. X by the way is the final folder in a website and this grabs it for me. <? $name = $REQUEST_URI; ?>
Root Access
If I want to add a column in a existing table in a php script, do I have to have root access?
Logging In As Root. Possible With Php Or Not??

Where am I going wrong? Or is it not possible with php??

Crontab Outside Web Root
I am trying to get a PHP script running on the crontab where the PHP document is located outside of the web root, this presents a problem because PHP is installed as an Apache module and I dont have access to re-install on this server. I have searched endlessly for ideas about how to get this running but all I am running into is the usual suspects: CGI Install Call Like a Command Line: Fetch wget lynx The last three all use http:// protocol as far as I have figured out. So does anyone know of any other software I can use to call from the crontab to run this script.
Site Root?
I'm a freelance web designer and I've begun to use PHP extensively for my clients' websites. A problem I run into is the consistent use of "/" for the site root. My server thinks that that refers to public_html/, meaning I can't test a site with "/" used to recognize the site root if I'm, say, one directory deep. How can I have a specific website recognize its own base folder as the site root? I imagine that in PHP, without touching Apache config files, there's a way to set a new site root, I just don't know how.
Execute As Root
Is there a way to execute commands as root using sudo? If yes, how to use it, if no, how can I get around.
