User Runs PHP
I have an app that uses PDFLib to read some images off the file system (Red Hat linux) and puts them into a PDF. I have permissions set on the directory to be readable by the owner and the group, 'images'.
I made apache a member of the group 'images' but get a permission denied error when trying to read an image from the images directory. Is there some other user that owns the PHP app.
Env.
PHP 5.03
Red Hat ES4
Apache 2.02

PHP Only Runs From Command Line
I know very little about PHP, but I was just curious to know why exactly would some PHP code run fine from the command line but not from the browser? I'm just curious. I was working with someone else's PHP code that supposedly created MySQL tables in a database and for some reason it just wouldn't create the tables at all (no specific error message). Someone suggested I run from the command line and when I did, it worked...

Bad Query Runs With No Error!
there must be some weird setting on the mysql database i am using for this latest project. the following query runs without throwing an error: SELECT start_time, last_access_time, user_ip session_data FROM demo_sessions WHERE id='b31fd40c7e9135f2b52e4f17c23fc3c54da137b8' notice there is no comma between user_ip and session_data what's the story here? seems like a real security risk to me because my server won't log bad requests.

Why Script Runs Differently With CRON?
I am running a PHP Script that downloads my RSS News (and the accompanying Thumbnail images)from the Web. When I execute it from CMD line, no problem. The News and Images are downloaded, great! When I begin to update via CRON, no images are downloaded/written to disk.--I don't have this problem when it's RUN from a shared hosting account, it's only on my home Linux Box.

Bug 23891 MySQL Runs Out Of Connections
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=23891 According to this report, what the person was asking isn't a bug, it's a feature (rimshot). I'm running into this problem almost exactly, and really don't understand what the answer is. The support person snidely suggests reading the manual, which is always great advice, but in this case really doesn't help out. Could someone explain what "If you use mysql_select_db() or slightly different connection string you can have more open connections then you have process." means? If I don't use mysql_select_db, then what do I use?

Close Window After Script Runs
When a user clicks on a link in their email, I have a browser window that opens in the background and runs a script confirming their desire to be added to our email directory. I basically want this window to open, run and then close without the user having to deal with it. Is there a way in PHP to close the window after the script finishes running in it? Or should I revert to JavaScript? I want the script to be mobile so I've sort of ruled out processing it server side. TIA.

How Often Does Garbage Collector Runs In Sessions?
Does anybody knows how often the session garbage collector checks for expired session to delete them? is it possible to modify this timeframe? is it possible to call this function manually? I am storing my sessions in a mysql database and i am using a session expiration of 5 seconds (just for testing), but after the session is expired the session record in the db table still exists. and it looks the sessions aren't expiring either because if you still have the session cookie you can keep up with the session.

Email Form Which Runs From An Iframe
I have set up an email form which runs from an iframe. The only problem is that when the script redirects the user to the success or error pages, these pages open within the iframe. Is there a way to specify the target window as 'parent'? Someone said that this could not be done via the php script and would have to be done with javascript in the html form itself.

Header Function Runs Before Update To Database Is Made

" SET login = '$loginIN' WHERE pass = '$password' AND course = '$courseID'"); header( 'url=http://www.somewebsite.com/logged_IN.htm' ); The problem is that when this php script is executed the second line executes before the first and an update to the database is not made. I also tried the script without the second line and the first works then.

Query Runs Multiple Times Under Heavy Server Load.
I have been having an issue with some MYSQL queries running multiple times when the server is under a heavy load. Example, if I do an 'update Table1 set item1 = 0 where 1 = 1' This runs fine under normal conditions, but will repeat itself multiple times when the server is under load. Is this just an optimization or server resource issue. If so, I would assume the query would just timeout and not run at all instead of running a few times.

Perform Redirection Of The User's Browser If The User Isn't A Valid User.
I'm running PHP on Windows, but that's just the local test... in production it will be on Apache. I am not using PHP as a CGI. I want to perform redirection of the user's browser if the user isn't a valid user. I don't want to use the refresh meta tag or javascript to do this. I want to do this with some sort of server command. Does anyone know how to make this work? Here's my code... <?php session_start(); $goal = ""; if (array_key_exists('goal', $_GET)) { $goal = $_GET['goal']; } if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['userid']) && isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['password'])) { $userid = $HTTP_POST_VARS['userid']; $password = $HTTP_POST_VARS['password']; $db_conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'webauth', 'webauth'); mysql_select_db('auth', $db_conn); $query = "select * from auth where name='$userid' and pass=password('$password')"; $result = mysql_query($query, $db_conn); if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['valid_user'] = $userid; } }

User Is Verified By A MySQL Database, And Then A Session: 'user' Is Registered.
I have a problem with sessions. In my code admin.php the user is verified by a MySQL database, and then a session: 'user' is registered. Well when the user presses a link to a another page called news.php it will be checked if the session is the same as in the same script, or if it's even registered (to prevent people trying to break in). But everytime i redirect to news.php I get a file included ip.php wich tells me Im about to break in. Code:

PHPmyadmin Access Denied For User 'user'@'localhost'
WinMe machine as server, with Apache 2 installed and working PHP4 installed and working ( had PHP 5.05 installed and working, but i couldnt get the mysql extensions to load - phpinfo() didnt list mysql :(, so i installed PHP4, which now lists mysql when i run phpinfo). MYSQL 4.1 installed and working. I dont know the console commands too well, but i know its working ok, cos I have used a few simple DOS prompt commands to check its alive and I can connect to the database using MyODBC frontend/driver 3.51 and also using Navicat 2004. When i try to connect to the database via PHPmyadmin from another network PC I have an error: #1045 - Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I have played around alot with different settings in the config.inc.php file.... nothing seems to work. This almost appears to be a simple login problem ( probably is too), but I can access the database locally from the Winme machine with the username and password that wont work over the network! I have tried not using 'localhost' as the host name but the IP address of the Winme PC but I get this error: #1130 - Host 'MYSERVERNAME' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

Redirect The Logged In User To Home.php Without Any Clicking From The User
I have this login script that calls on itself to authenticate the username and the password. It redisplays the login page if there is an error. My question is how do I redirect it to a different page, when the user is authenticated (i.e. the address in the address box changes to a new name, for example, if the login page is called login.php,. then I want to redirect the logged in user to home.php without any clicking from the user). I realize that there is a header function available, but I've heard that any information related to the current session is lost upon using this function. Is there any better way?

Authenticating User Common User Names
I want to create a password protected page with PHP and Mysql. I have 2 groups User and Admin. The respective groups have a common user/password. The user/password are stored in a database. I want to authenticate the user through a login form and not through a pop-up ($PHP_AUTH_USER) way. What I want is, if a user logs in and he moves from one page to another, he should not be asked for validity again. Is this possible only with scripting (without session and $PHP_AUTH...). If yes - how do I keep track of an authorised user and unauthorised user, so that he should not be validated again. Does setting the user variable to global in all the pages do the trick.?

User Authentication And PHP Saving As Specific User.

I've been asked to make a secure way for users to log on through the web and edit their pages online. However, although using .htaccess to authenticate users, the script saves as user 'nobody' and is not able to edit pages previously uploaded (and saved as user 'john_doe'). What I am trying to do is make the script save using the same username as the user used to log on.

So what I want to do is send users login in in a content area to the internal area, and the ones using the block to login back to the site they were browsing. I put a if else conditional statement to manage that, when the hidden input is public now, you are taken to the internal area by a refresh. But now the real problem.
