File Download Problem - Change A Binary File Into A Text And Open It In A Browser
I have uploaded files to mysql (doc and xls) using the tutorial. The problem comes when I try to download. Again I followed instructions in the tutorial. When I click on the link to download the file, it formats it as text and sends it to the browser instead of seeing it as binary and offering me a download box. PHP Code: <? if(isset($_GET['id'])) { include 'includes/configdb.php' include 'includes/opendb.php' $id = $_GET['id']; $query = "SELECT name, type, size, content FROM upload WHERE id = '$id'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed'); list($name, $type, $size, $content) = mysql_fetch_array($result); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name"); header("Content-length: $size"); ....

Warning: Ftp_exec() [function.ftp-exec]: SITE EXEC Is An Unknown Extension
This is kind of a part II to a question a posted earlier about exec and shell_exec not working. I'm trying to use ftp_exec to execute some simple command: $conn_id = ftp_connect("$server") or die ("Cannot initiate connection to host"); ftp_login($conn_id, "$username", "$userpass") or die("Cannot login"); $command = 'cd..' if (ftp_exec($conn_id, $command)) { echo "$command executed successfully"; } else { echo "could not execute $command"; } ftp_close($conn_id); I'm getting the following error: Warning: ftp_exec() [function.ftp-exec]: SITE EXEC is an unknown extension in /home/urieilam/public_html/work/video/test1.1.php on line 21 could not execute cd.. Have tried other commands as well, get the same. Could this be a security issue or something to do with p Safe Mode? I don't know much about commands, shell, etc..

Open File, Put First 5 Lines Into A Variable, Close File...
1) I want to open a file on my server. 2) I want to read only the first 5 lines. 3) Put the first five lines into a variable. 4) Close the file. 5) Display the contents of the variable. I know how to use the fopen() but I have big problems just trying to read the first 5 lines only? I tried many things. I downloaded some search scripts which displayed the <meta> tag only from html pages... What is this guy doing? Well I have a big site and content is added and changed everyday. I have a dynamic page that reads a directory for files and then puts a link (well it includes the file for reading on my php page). That works great! MY PROBLEM is that I want not only a link but a small description below it (basically the first five lines on the file)... See so far: Quote: if (isset ($content)) { include ("files/$content.html"); echo "<p><A HREF="read.php"><b>Back to index</b></A>"; } else { echo "<b>Opening directory, reading files, and listing them as a link</b><p>"; $handle = opendir('./files'); while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { echo eregi_replace (".html", "", "<A HREF="read.php?content=$file">$file</a><p>"); } } closedir($handle); }

Open .php File With PHP Designer 2007 By Clicking The File In XP
In windows XP, I want to be able to click on a .php file and have it opened in PHP Designer 2007, Or right-click on it and have an "edit" menu option presented to me. I know how to tweak the registry to do this in general, but what would the command line look like in this specific case ? PHP Designer does not do this automatically. It is as if the program does not allow commandline options. It only opens with the last file used or a menu of recently opened files.

Php Exec To C Program That Writes File
I'm trying to use the exec() call in php to run a program that I've written and compiled from C. This program attempts to create a new file and write data into it. If I simply run the program from the shell, it writes the file no problem. If i run the program through an exec call in a php script, however, the program executes but it seems to not have the correct permissions to be able to write the file.

Exec, Passthru Disabled So How To Call C++ .exe File?
I am at my wit's end trying to get information out of Streamline.net's support dept about my problem. They reply quickly enough, but seem to try and give out the least possible amount of info each time. The transcript so far is reproduced for your amusement below. To summarise: I've put up a Sudoku-solving program called Sudoku.exe. I want to call it in a php script to solve a puzzle and output the solution. It works fine with Apache/php on my own machine, but it seems Streamline.net disable exec, passthru etc. They eventually say, cryptically: ' CGI executables are supported, however this is very different from executing a program from within a PHP script'. So how would I call my Sudoko.exe file? The 'dialog': My last question seems to have been 'fixed' before being answered, so I'll have another go. I'm trying to call an .exe file on the server but get an 'unable to fork' error message. I have Apache/php installed locally and it works fine. Do you have to turn on 'cmd.exe' permissions or something? Try it yourself at: Warning: passthru(): Unable to fork [Sudoku.exe (argument...)] in (.php file...) It's the same with exec() as well. We do not support passthru or exec functions. So how would I call my Sudoku.exe program from a php script? I do not want 'scripting help', I just want to use some of the functions that you offer as a host and which I have paid for. As I have said what I am trying to do works perfectly on my machine, so it must be a question of something you have to enable your end. What do you mean you don't support passthru or exec? They are both standard php commands. . You asked "how would I call my Sudoku.exe program from a php script?" clearly this is asking us how you can use scripting? Certain functions are disabled in PHP for security reasons. Which functions are 'disabled in PHP for security reasons' ? You can find this out with the inbuilt php function phpinfo() Could you tell me where on the page that phpinfo() produces these functions are listed? For example, passthru() does not appear to be on the page. . search for "disable_functions" on that page. disable_functions lists 'no value'. So again, could you tell me where I can find the list of standard php functions which you have disabled? Please can you provide a link to your phpinfo file so we can investigate this further. We had previously checked this on a linux server, which showed the functions that have been disabled. We've passed this on to an engineer to investigate further. For your information the following are disabled: shell_exec,exec,system,passthru,popen Your knowledge base says: Q. Are CGI (Common Gateway Interface) executables supported? A. Yes these are supported on either the Windows and Linux servers But you are telling me that the only php functions which can call my executable are disabled. Will you clarify once and for all if I can call my exe file or not. I AM NOT ASKING FOR SCRIPTING HELP, I have books about that. I just want to know if I can do ON YOUR SERVER what you say I can do, and if not why not.

Exec And Shell_exec Not Executing Batch File Properly
I am running Apache and PHP on windows XP. Latest versions of them all. I am trying to execute a simple .bat batch file that simply copies 4 files from one location to the batch files location. The php exec command runs like this: V:Corehtdocswp ransfer.bat Y:folder here the batch file is executed and the command following is thrown into the batch file to specify where the files that need to be copied are. The Y: directory is in windows considered to be a network drive, although it is really just a folder on the same machine, i did this because there are spaces in the folder names on its way to where I need the information copied from i.e. "Program Files" When I run this in the command prompt by entering this in manually it runs perfectly. However when running exec in the PHP script nothing happens; when I run shell_exec it gives me the output and it shows that every line in the batch file is executed however it does not actually copy anything. Looking into my apache error log I see that this is related: "The system cannot find the drive specified." Now what I am wondering is, how is it that I can run this script manually but apache tells me I cannot. My permissions are set to allow all and deny nothing since it is a machine well tucked into a safe place. Apache resides on the machine in C: eactorcore and it also setup a virtual drive as v:core. Trying both does not work.
