PHP - Gift Certificate Form To Long

Should I always use HTTPS when users are inputting credit card numbers & billing info? Do you know any sites that don't use HTTPS? I just want to know if it's a total no-no for web applications.

Discuss.

Let's say that I have domain called www.mydomain.com with SSL certificate. Through .htaccess I have set up the domain to force SSL at all times, so users will see https://www.mydomain.com/... I had this site and SSL for while and there are serveral external links linking to my site, but they are all (or most) in "SSL format" https://www.mydomain.com/... If I should cancel my SSL certificate (and remove force SSL in .htaccess) that will happen when those "SSL formatted" links get clicked on? I assume users will get "not trusted connection" message? Any way arround that? As far as I undersestand the "SSL" handshake takes place before .htaccess gets loaded, so I will not be able to force SSL off on the links.   Thoughts?

Hello everyone!

I'm new to PHP (and to this forum, too). My final goal is to make a script that recognises which websites have an Extended Validation certificate type and which ones do not. Except I don't know how to do it. For starters, I should download the X.509 certificate and analyse it (I use both the OpenSSL and cURL PHP extensions), but how?

DAYS of googling have brought me absolutely nothing. Any tips are appreciated. I can provide more detail if need be. I'd provide source code if I had any but I really don't know where to start... Thanks!

I saw the posting for creating a script for a certificate but am struggling to get it to work, i have tried everything I can think of but getting errors. As you can see from this test link there is php errors that cannot be resolved. http://gmdesign.org.uk/xxx I have also added the javascript to a button to print the certificate it but its not working either.   I would be grateful for any help you can give. you can download/see my full scripts by viewing the attached files

I've been looking for a function or a couple of functions which will allow me to get the Certificate Expiration date for a given website. I've tried openSSL, but their functions only seem to work on the current server, which is useless to me because my server doesn't allow SSL or certificates. I just want the certificate of an external website, e.g. www.gna.org has a certificate (signed by themselves, but a certificate nonetheless).
I've also tried cURL, since that allows you to access a remote server, but that will just check their certificate - it doesn't offer any functionality for e.g. checking when it will expire.

This seems like a simple enough question, but I haven't found anything about it anywhere, so I'm asking here.

Thanks a bunch in advance,

I recently installed a SSL certificate for one of my domains, on a hosting account that includes several other domains.  To redirect visitors to the SSL version of the website (because the SSL certificate only works for the www. version of the site) I use the following code in my .htaccess file:   #First rewrite any request to the wrong domain to use the correct one (here www.)

We are working on a new student application system. Due to privacy laws,
everything will be done behind https. However, this is one of many systems
looked after by the system administrators. I would like to safeguard against
the situation several years down the road when the certificate expires.
There are several administration pages that will be checked frequently by
the graduate admin assistant. While this person has no technical background,
a warning several months before the certificate expires would allow her
to remind the technical staff to renew the certificate.

I know I can use curl to connect to my own server, but that seems like
a long way to do it (and an extra https connection). Is there any way to
get the certificate information for the current https connection from
the server or from the php runtime?

Hi folks,

a few days back, we enabled SSL on our office server and the intranet migrated to https. Everything is ok on the intranet.

On the public internet, we noticed today that the page on our website, which connects to our office server to fetch and display data was throwing an error, which I presumed was a Security Certificate issue... An area that's like the Dark Side of the Moon for me..

the webpage - https://liveconnections.in/hotjobs.php

This is the error from the logs

 PHP Warning: file_get_contents(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:
error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed 
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(): Failed to enable crypto 
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:
error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed

Anycase, the internet was willing to help and so I updated the code to a curl function. The Data is not displaying still...

However, when I try to access the office server by loading the php page in my localhost, the data is displayed.

Here's the code... where am i going wrong ?

Also, if i change the $url in my code to https:// , no data is displayed...

I raised a Support request to the Hosting provider, but they seem to have vanished into the ozone....

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi All,

I am trying to call a javascript pop-up window via a link by echoing out the html via php but keep getting parse errors:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting ',' or ';'

Here is the code in question:

Code: [Select]
echo "<td class=\"today\"> <a href=\"javascript:statusWindow('status.php?month=".$month."&day=".$day."&year=$year');\">"$day_num</a> </td>\n";

And here is the javascript function:

Code: [Select]
<script type="text/javascript">
function statusWindow(url){
status_popupWin = window.open(url, 'status', 'resizable=yes, scrollbars=yes, toolbar=no,width=400,height=400');
status_popupWin.opener = self;
}
</script>

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

I would like to apply some addition functionality to a form which add news records into the database. Basicaly what i want is similar to what this forum does with the [ code ] [ /code ] but what i want for the user to be able to add [ quote ] [ /quote ] and when the post is viewed then that specific area of the acticle body will be formated diffrently. I hope this makes sence.

Hey Folks

This is a major long shot but is their a way that i can use php to upload one mp3 file and one doc file, then get the php script to place the mp3 file in one folder but also copy the mp3 file and make it into a zip file and place it into another folder as well as also make another copy of the mp3 file pair it with the doc file and make it into another zip file in yet another folder


mp3->---------------------------->--mp3----------------->----mp3 into zip-------->--mp3 + doc into zip
&---- > --Uploaded via php----->--placed in folder a--->----placed in folder b--->--placed in folder c
doc-->---------------------------->--copied--------------->----mp3 copied--------->--


But thier is a catch the host i am using didn't activate ZipArchive() function so need a diferent way to make the zip file.

Any Ideas people? because i have been pulling my hair out at this one please help

Hi

I'm trying to figure out how to calculate how long since a datevariable I have stored is from whenever the page is loaded..

I currently have a stored datevariable in the format: YYYY-MM-DD H:m:s  ... So basically what I wish to accomplish is figuring out whenever i load the page which has stored this variable, how much time has passed. I want it to show up as for example :  '10 minutes ago'..  '1 hour 25minutes ago'  if it's the same day.. if its more than 1 day old it's enough to show only the number of days.....'1week 3 days ago' etc etc 

I have the following code on a page
Code: [Select]
<?PHP session_start();?>
<HTML>

<HEAD>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<TITLE>Running Test Cricket</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<?PHP
echo "Time at start ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'];
#This is our hourly updates for teams if it is due - it is set off by the variable 'teamUpdateTime'
echo "<BR>1";
$updateTime=time();  #Get the current time and put it into the variable
$teams = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM teams WHERE teamUpdateTime<'$updateTime'");  //Go through all the teams
while($team = mysql_fetch_array($teams)) {
echo "<BR>UPDATING - hourly - ".$team['name']; #Show the team we are updating
include("../updates/hourly_update_team.php");  #Update all the teams that are due to be updated
}
echo "<BR>2";

  mysql_close($sqldb);  //Close the database

echo "<BR>Time at end ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'];
?>
</BODY></HTML>While the code is crude it is not for the public to see - it is for updating teams in an online game I am creating.
What my problem is that the REQUEST_TIME at the start and end of the code are always outputted the same; the code is there to see how long the page takes to do.  I sit there and count how long the page takes to activate (load, whatever the terminology is) and it can take up to 40 seconds - but the REQUEST_TIME tells me it takes 0 seconds so obviously something is wrong.

My question is simple - how do I get this code to output the REQUEST_TIME when the code starts and when it finished, thus showing me how long it took for the page to load.  I wish to do this to try and speed it up.

I've written a script thats going to take a really long time to execute... Whats the best way to do this as far as the server not timing out?

My script is calculating some statistics based on other tables in the database and then storing them in another table. The results are going to be hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions of rows.

I try to get how long my message was sent with this...


        $Now = strtotime ("now");
$dateEnvoi = $fetchDiscussion['dateEnvoi']; //my date from my DB
$timeEnvoi = mktime($dateEnvoi);
$TempsEnvoi = $dateNow - $dateEnvoi;


and it try to get how long it was post ... same thing as on facebook... like the 26 minutes ago from FB how can i do it ?
