PHP :: Unable To Fork Exec()'d File In IIS 5.1

Warning: Move_uploaded_file() Unable To Move *file* To *new File* In *script*
I'm having trouble with move_uploaded_file()- my script was working fine until a month or two ago when it suddenly stopped. Now I get the error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file() Unable to move *file* to *new file* in *script*

Thats it, no permissions error or "unable to open stream"- all the searching I've done everyone seeems to get another error- but I'm only getting the one. Permissions on the folder are 777, the paths are absolute and definitely correct, safe_mode and open_basedir are both off. I even called is_uploaded_file() on the line before it and it returned true. The only thing I can think of is that the hosts upgraded to php4.4 recently- could that be it? Are there any known problems (or changes that would break my script)?

PHP Fork
I would like to have a fork in my PHP code - the coding will branch with 2 possible options to execute (2 possible web contents to show). Which one is executed will depend on a certain changeble ratio factor. So, for instance, if the ratio is 3:7:

if the PHP code is called 10 times - 3 times option 1 will be run. 7 times option 2 will be run. how can I go about coding this. I really haven't got a clue how to implement this ratio (probability) control.

Unable To Remove Items From A File
I am at my wits end with some code for a website I am working on. The page in question is simply for a user to add items to a list of data. The data is stored in a temp file and later added to a database. I have successfull set the page to add items to the list of data. My issue is with trying to remove a line of data from the file. The following snippet of code runs if a link has been clicked on the line of data to be removed which reloads the page running this code which is intended to remove that line...

Opendir Unable To Display File
I'm trying to use this script to display the contents of a network share on server A from a PHP install on server B. The purpose of this script is for troubleshooting. It's meant to show that, yes, you can connect to a network share on a remote server and see files and directories there. This is the script:

Max_execution_time And Fork
I use recursive readdir as the engine for
a numerous file processing routines, including
generating thumbnails, using getimagesize
imagecreatetruecolor and imagejpeg, etc.
where each resize operation involves instantiating
a new resizer class instance.

.....but my (shared host) website is large, so I
run past max_execution_time if I try to make
all thumbnails at once, from the top of
my document_root. My virtual file system
includes a php.ini which I can edit, but
bumping max_execution-time (although the file saves)
seems to have no effect, and I do not have
permission to run /usr/sbin/apachectl restart

Perhaps the php.ini change
will start to work the next time the server reboots.

In the mean time, is there some way to fork a new process,
for instantiating the resizer?

I could try to use exec to run command line
php. But there must be a more elegant way
to do this. I'd use perl and imagemagick,
but my shared host server doesn't have the
right perl libs installed, and that's another
can of worms.

'fork' A Session
I am working on a webbased application (not a website) and from a page a new instance of the browser is started (using javascript) offering a different set of functionalities. What I want is that each new instance of the browser continues with its own set of
sessionvariables, as two different sessions. Is that possible? I use the following javascript function:

window.open('code.php?submit=new&id=1,'status=no')

I use session_start() at the beginning of every page, i also considered using session_regenerate_id in various ways but this didn't have the desired effect.

Unable To Upload File Using Copy Statement
I need to upload files to my server but it won't let me, it comes up with the error relating to the copy if statement, which sits in the upload_file function about half way down the code. The userfile_name and the filename1 are variables passed from a form to the upload_file function.

Below is the code for the copy statement, can anyone see any major problems?

//Displays an error message if can't copy the file, from the temp dir to the directory on the server

Unable To View Test File After & IIS Installation
I want to learn PHP and I am trying to correctly install PHP on my Windows XP Pro machine and I am trying to use IIS as my web server. I tried going through the manual installation instructions at php.net, but now when I try to view my test file I get a "404 Not Found" error.

Here is the address that I put into IE in an attempt to view the file:
http://localhost/phpfiles/test01.php

The contents of the test file are such:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

The full error message is "404 Not Found - The requested URL "/phpfiles/test01.php" was not found on this server." I'm guessing that this means that IIS is set up properly and that the issue is with my php.ini file and/or how PHP is installed on my machine.

What does this error mean and what do I need to fix to be able to view my test file? Is this an error in my IIS set up or in my php.ini setup, both, or neither?

Warning: Ftp_exec() [function.ftp-exec]: SITE EXEC Is An Unknown Extension

Error: Unable To Cache A Remote File Using Copy
I used the following code to copy a remote file to my server:

copy($URL,$cachefile);

This worked very well on my old server, but it does not work on the new one.

I am getting the following error:

Unable to open 'http://[...]' for reading: No such file or directory in /local/copyfile.php on line 23

I searched for more than two hours, but I have not found the solution.

On the php.net I found the following:

Note: As of PHP 4.3.0, both source and dest may be URLs if the "fopen wrappers" have been enabled.

I am using PHP 4.2., though I don't think that this is the reason, why it does not work.

Unable To Write A File In A Directory That My PHP Script Creates
I've a problem of being able to create and remove a directory but
unable to write a file inside the created directory for some strange
reason. I suspect that this problem could be vaguely linked to Safe
mode being set to On since my site is using shared server hosting and
probably insufficient/incorrect Unix file permission.

Below is my test script that helps me narrow down the problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>File IO Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<pre>

<?php
define("TEST_DIR", "./newsletter/2005_11");
define("TEST_FILE", "./newsletter/2005_11/file_io_test.txt");

echo "Make Directory";
if(mkdir(TEST_DIR, 0777)){
echo "<font color="green">OK</font>
";
}
else{
echo "<font color="red">Fail</font>
";
}

if(file_exists(TEST_DIR) && is_dir(TEST_DIR)){
echo TEST_DIR . " exists.
";
}
else{
echo TEST_DIR . " does not exists.
";
}
echo "<hr>
";

// TEST FILE WRITE
echo "Write Open File";
$file_handle = fopen(TEST_FILE, "w");
if($file_handle){
echo "OK";
}
else{
echo "Fail";
}
fwrite($file_handle, "This file is written at " . date("Y/m/d H:i:s") .
"
");
echo "Write Close File";
if(fclose($file_handle)){
echo "<font color="green">OK</font>
";
}
else{
echo "<font color="red">Fail</font>
";
}
echo "--- START FILE DUMP ---
";
readfile(TEST_FILE);
echo "--- END FILE DUMP ---
";
echo "<hr>";
?>
</body>
</html>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This script will report a success with the creation of the directory on
my server, but fails to write a file inside the newly created
directory.

Originally, I only call mkdir without specifying any permission and it
doesn't work. Thus I explicitly instruct mkdir to use 0777 to allow all
write operation by everybody, in case PHP and Apache try to write files
using "nobody" or "www" user account, instead of my shell login user
account. Still it doesn't work. The owner of the created directory is
called "www". When I login via SSH and check the permission, strangely,
the permission is 775 instead, with Write permission for Others
disabled, although I told mkdir to use 0777 instead.

Is there any workaround, and what am I doing wrong here? Thanks for
sharing with me any insight into this problem. I'm not quite sure what
exactly is wrong here, whether because of PHP Safe mode, incorrect
directory permission, incorrect file permission or the case of
different UID or owner.

Php Exec To C Program That Writes File

If I simply run the program from the shell, it writes the file no

however, the program executes but it seems to not have the correct

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.

PHP Exec() And Zipping Upload File In Windows

File is being uploaded by the apache server, but it's not being zipped.
My guess "", escaping, is causing problem in windows path. Do I also

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.

Unable To Connect To Certain SQL Servers From PHP On IIS.
I am unable to connect to certain SQL servers from PHP on IIS.

I have two IIS 5 servers, both are Windows 2000 Server boxes with PHP

SQL2K SP3a machines and one SQL 7.0 SP4 machine. One of the SQL2K
servers is the same machine as one of the IIS 5 servers.

One of the IIS servers, Server1, can mssql_connect to all three SQL
servers. The other IIS server, Server2, can only mssql_connect to one
of the SQL2K servers. I get a "connect failed" error when attempting
to hit the other two SQL servers. The one it can connect to,
incidentally, is the SQL server that resides on the _other_ IIS
server.

I have tried copying the PHP application from Server1 to Server2. The
same PHP app that can connect to all three SQL Servers from Server1
can only connect to SQL on Server1 from Server2.
