Identifying SSL Clients
I have a site that uses PHP sessions through SSL, my employer does not wish the site to require cookies so I have switched on the use_trans_sid option for users who have cookies disabled. The problem I have is stopping session hijacking. If I am on a page "https://secure.mysite.com/page.php?PHPSESSID=XXXXX" And I email the url to someone else they can get onto the site without being challenged for a logon. I am trying to find a way to check that the connection is still coming from the same SSL connection, e.g. by checking the clients public key, but I can't find a way to get any information about the SSL connection from PHP.

Identifying An Image
Ive got a tracking system which tracks how many times a user clicks on an advert on my site. At the moment all the listings are set as one so when a user clicks on that advert it gets one click. However, one of the adverts is now going to contain two images advertising two separate companies. Ive set it up so the images and urls are different and they go to their own websites and in my tracking table i have just added an extra column called image and the number 1 goes in if image 1 is clicked on or 2 if image 2 is clicked on. However, to display this is the bit im not sure about. At the moment its displayed in a table like this: Advert Name Category Number of clicks Advert 1 Shopping 257 However, if advert 1 has two images, meaning two separate companies, how can I show this in the above table?

Identifying Search Engines
my website is pretty much database driven and i've typically parsed the data in PHP and just output flat HTML. however, i'm trying to save some badwidth by spitting out just the critical information, and have javascript parse out the data. however, i'm kinda worried how search engines would react to this. (especially google) would search engines ignore the keywords if they are inside javascript tags? how do i detect search engines? maybe i can just setup a special script that output's "search-engine-friendly" output.

Identifying A Page Via Hyperlink
I have a page (product_wide.php) that displays sale items. In that page, I "include" a 2nd page that contains hyperlinks to general item categories. The hyperlinks in filternavbar point to product_wide, and display items from the category selected. I need a way, using the same hyperlinks I am using now in filternavbar, to tell, from product_wide, that it was from filternavbar that the link was clicked (as opposed to some other page in the site that takes you to product_wide. I can't change the configuration of the filternavbar url because of duplicate content issues with google.

Identifying Dynamic Form Fields
User goes to page which is a form that asks for some basic info regarding returning products for credit/exchange, and also asks for how many products are going to be returned. Upon submitting, a return authorization form is presented to them with the specified number of product fields. I now want to take the input from this form and email it to myself, as well as, display a confirmation page to the user. The problem I have is a can't say, for instance, echo "$field_name"; because field_name will get created dynamically after the user specifies how many products to return. For example, say the user says 5 products, this will generate a form with field names like: return_code0 inv_num0 qty0 product0 cre_exch0 stockout0 return_code1 inv_num1 qty1 product1 cre_exch1 stockout1 return_code2 inv_num2 qty2 product2 cre_exch2 stockout2 and so on.... These get created with a for() loop. Once this form is submitted, how can I address the field names? Code:

Identifying Non-Supported Characters In A TTF File With GD?
I've managed to get GD working (mostly anyway) on my site - and am utilising the "imagettftext" function. I am using this function to display individual characters on my website - with a nominated Font. However, sometimes the characters in my StringText are not supported by the particular font that I am using ... Directly from http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php imagettftext - "If a character is used in the string which is not supported by the font, a hollow rectangle will replace the character." Can anyone suggest some code that would: 1) compare/look at the StringText supplied within the "imagettftext" function (in my case the StringText will comprise of a single character only) 2) where the supplied StringText (ie character) is NOT supported by the font, then I need for that character to be reported as not supported. ie. either; return a flag or skip the non-supported character entirely - rather than displaying the standard "hollow rectangle".

Identifying Opening Link For Database Query?
I've got a tricky problem i need to solve, i'm building a banner exchange type site in which there are already about 100 banners so i've had to code things around what already exists to a certain extent. Now each of the banners that go out on other sites have a link on the banner which pops open a window with details of the banner. this would be fine if all my banners were gifs and jpgs but there are also swf and dcr banners so i have no real control over the actual link on the banner. up until now each banner had a html page made for it so when you clicked on a banner it would open a page banner_1.html which had the details of that banner. for obvious reasons i'm going to replace all these redundant pages and put a htaccess redirect at their url to all redirect to a common page popup.php so all details will be dealt with in one file. ok this is fine but my problem is in this page popup.php i need to identify the link that just opened the window so that i can then get the info from the database to put on the page.. remember i can't use the url like so... bannerpage.php?thisbanner=1 but all existing links have unique addresses, is there a way to do this, i'm pretty sure there must be but i can't get my head around it?

Identifying User's Pick From Selection List
I have an application that uses PHP to access a MySQL table and extract rows which match the user's search entry. Data from the matching rows are loaded into an HTML selection list, and the user can scan the list and highlight a selected item. My question: In PHP, what is the syntax for identifying which row is highlighted? My goal is to pass the unique row ID of the selected item to a subsequent form where all the fields will be displayed for the user to edit. I already have the code that loads the selection list and the code that displays the fields. I just need to know how to determine the highlighted item. I have two PHP books, and both discuss loading the selection list, but there is no mention of what to do next.

Form, Type=file And Identifying By Isset()
Windows XP PHP 4.4.2 Apache 2.2 Register_Globals = Off Safe_Mode = On ----------------------- Hi All, I am having a problem getting a file browse input field to be recognized on the next page. Let me show you... page1.php Contains a web form with a file input to attach a file using a browse button. <form method='POST' action='page2.php' enctype='multipart/form-data'> <input name='uploadFile1' type='file' id=uploadFile1'> page2.php contains a validator to check the input and perform an action based on whether or not the browse input field has been populated. // IF THE POST CONTAINS A FILE UPLOAD, PROCESS SECTION 1 IF NOT PROCESS SECTION 2. if (isset($_POST['uploadFile1'])) { echo "File is attached so print this."; } if (!isset($_POST['uploadFile1'])) { echo "File is NOT attached so print this."; } If the user uses the browse button on the form page to populate the field with a file path to a file on his pc, then I expect to see the "File is attached message". However, regardless of whether someone does or does not browse a file, the message is always that they have NOT browsed a file and the variable "uploadFile1" is effectively left unpopulated. OUTPUT File is NOT attached so print this. Conversley, I thought I might be able to use the _FILES variable instead of _POST, but I get the exact opposite, that the browse field is populated all the time whether or not someone has browsed a file or left the browse field blank. if (isset($_FILES['uploadFile1'])) { echo "File is attached so print this."; } if (!isset($_FILES['uploadFile1'])) { OUTPUT File is attached so print this. So, I am missing something. Can someone give me some direction so that I can simply identify (with register_globals = Off) whether or not an input field (input type=file) has been populated or left blank? Is this even possible? What am I missing?

Voting System - Identifying Voter And Integrity Of The Vote
I am trying to setup a voting system for our intranet (staff awards - free text fields). I have the database adding the votes no problem. What I would like to do however is the following: 1. It's our intranet, there is no need for each person to login so it just uses "user/user". However I need to capture the person's login on the vote record so I can identify who voted. 2. restrict the users to one vote each. I have done some research and it looks like I have to create a cookie.

Identifying Different Unicode/utf-8 Types Inside A Text String
I am dealing with a script that reverses a string that is in hebrew, so I can display it properly when I write that string onto an image, however sometimes the string might be half hebrew half english, so I need a way to identify what language is in the string and only reverse the hebrew parts. in technical terms the hebrew text is encoded in utf-8, and the english text will be encoded in the normal encoding for english, (anscii, latin-swedish whatever, i dont know the name of that encoding) so the simple question is how do I identify different types of encoding within a string? that way I can break up the parts that i identify as being utf-8 and reverse only those (yes I am well aware of methods to display hebrew properly in php, but when writing to an image this is another story, only method i found so far is reversing the hebew text string)

People Database
We are developing a webpage for our group, which shows the details of the people working in the groups. For example: Last name, First name, Status, Phone, Fax and Mailing address. One of us is supposed to take care of new people being added to database and shown on the webpage. We have a page to put in the details(a form), which calls a php script. The script checks if there is another person with the same name in the database and shows the options depending on the result. If there is someone three buttons appear: Update, Reset, and Add New. If there is none, two buttons appear: Add New and Reset. I want to know, if I have different scripts for "Add New", "Reset" and "Reset", will the $_POST variables(generated by the first form for details) be passed to these scripts.

How Do I Handle People Going Into The Same Record At The Same In Web App.
I am building an app using php and postgresql. My questionis this. How do you handle people wanting to make parallel changes to a record. Since in web apps you are doing a select, bring over a record then updating it, there is no lock on that record while you are making the changes in your browser window. Does transactions handle that? Do you make your selection and update all part of the same transaction? This whole scenario has me stumped.

Use Sessions To Allow People To Log Into Site.
I'm trying to use sessions to allow people to log into my site. The problem is that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. As far as I'm aware my script is fine and I've had people tell me it's fine too. Basically, when a user enters their username and password it checks that against my mysql database and if correct creates a session and stores their username in it in a variable called uname. when they access another area of the site it checks to see it uname is set and if it is then it lets them access that area and if it isn't asks them to log in again. The session id is kept so I know the session is there but it doesn't always register the variable uname. I think the php version is 4.1.2.

Stopping People Spamming My Mailform

Prevent Multiple People Using One Account
I have a website with premium and free members. Premium members, it goes without saying, need to pay before they can enjoy some special features within the site. Now, I want to prevent premium members share their ID and password with others. My current plan is to log every request by premium ID in the database and later observe the log file to determine whether an ID has been shared or not. My table will hold: the user ID, date and time, page requested, and IP address. If 2 different IP address are accessing the page within my website using the same ID within a very close time. Then the ID should be marked as 'shared'.

How Good Will This Prevent People From Posting To My Server.
I'm just putting the finishing touches on my polling script. For the login I want to make sure you can only post from the server the script is running on. This will help prevent any malicious scripts from posting username password combos over and over until one works. (In theory). Anyways, to the point of the post, how secure is this in your opinion. <?php $host= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; $ref= $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; $cut= substr("$ref", 7, 9); echo $host; echo "<br />"; echo $cut; if ($cut === $host) { include("your login page.php"): } else { echo "Go Away"; } ?> When you use substr(); you take out the first 7 letters to eliminate the "http://", and then however many characters long your domain name is. Since I'm testing this on my local machine, I used localhost, which is 9 characters long.
