PHP - Server Time
I'm not sure if this is the place to ask this question, but please advise
<?php echo "time=" . time(); ?> does the time change when viewing in other countries? E.g. Is echo the same when viewed in China, US, New Zealand? Thanks! Similar TutorialsPHP 5.2.6 We rent PHP server space on a server in California. Several of my pages generated by PHP show the current date and time, so when the page is printed, the user knows when the data was printed. Our users could be anywhere in the US, I am in Michigan. How do I convert the server time (PDT) into local time, regardless of where the user is? Thanks. Hi, The hosting provider for my domain confirm me that the server time is in EST (UTC-5). They also sent me a grab supporting that Code: [Select] server time is now: ---------------------- Sun Nov 7 02:20:01 EST 2010 ------------------- But when I use the following code, the output I get is has 1 hr difference (UTC-6) echo date("d M, Y h:i:s A",time()); Output==> 07 Nov, 2010 01:20:01 AM But it suppose to give the same time as the server, ryt? Can anybody please explain? Thanks, im wondering is there any easy way to echo server time and local time... without converting them from unix to timestamp i have found thi code, but i cant tell is it server or local Code: [Select] echo date("H:i" ,time()); I just recalled using date(); time() for lots of things in my database, including post times etc. At first I simply assumed this used server time or something, but when I changed my PC's time, it changed ! Now, shortly after this I simply assumed this was because of me using a localhost? But I am not certain anymore.. If I would place this online, would date() and time() return you server time or user time? I couldnt find it on google =-( I am using this php to write to a text file to show me who has logged in and when: Code: [Select] <?php $time = $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']; $myusername = $_POST['myusername']; $data = "$REQUEST_TIME\n"; $data = "$myusername\n"; //open the file and choose the mode $fh = fopen("logs/login.txt", "a") ; fwrite($fh, $data); fwrite($fh, $time); fclose($fh); ?> The result I get in my text file is: paul 1315919200melody 1315919221tracy&graham 1315919232ed&hannah 1315919251 I would feel more successful if the name of the user were to appear on the next line down but I can live with that but I can't make head nor tale of the date. I want it to say: paul 13:59 13/09/2011 next user 14:00 13/09/2011 and so on I feel I have done very well to even get that far really and wouldn't have been able to yesterday. I am frustrated to have reached the extent of my current understanding. If anyone can tell me where I'm going wrong, that would be great. I hope the php isn't too far off, and you can "read between the lines" as it were to see what I'm trying to do. Paul MOD EDIT: code tags added. Is there a way to run a check on the server to see how long it takes for the page to get built, then print it to the screen?
I tried searching for it online for a few minutes, but it wasn't able to be found. All I'm finding on there is how to optimize the pages, but I want a simple time check performed on the page loading
Is there any way to have a field that will update any time its row is updated?
My situation is that I will have multiple devices writing to a database, and in one case the time that is being kept track of is important. And the devices writing to the database are a bit difficult to keep accurate times on, so instead of writing the time from the devices themselves, I was hoping I could just have a field update itself. I know it can be done on INSERT, but I do not want to do an INSERT every time.
Thanks!
Hello Everyone, I am on windows server and In my ini file server time zone declared as below
[server_settings] but my application installed on another timezone eg: 'America/Los_Angeles' time zone. using date_default_timezone_get() i am always getting Europe/London timezone as it's declared in ini file. How to get local timezone(wherever application is installed) here? Thanks Krish Hi All, My goal is to process all redirects serverside and simply return the user to the 'final' URL. Here's my function to get the final URL: PHP Code: function get_final_url($url){ global $final_host; $redirects = get_all_redirects($url); if (count($redirects)>0){ $final_url = array_pop($redirects); if(substr($final_url,0,7) != 'http://' && !empty($final_host)) { $final_url = 'http://'.$final_host.$final_url; } return $final_url; } else { return $url; } Here's the cURL execution: $ch2 = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_POST,''); curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,''); curl_exec($ch2); curl_close($ch2); For some reason, this works no problem, posts any data over to the URLs serverside, redirects serverside, and passes the client to the final URL, with none of the redirection displayed via HTTPWatch or any similar debug utility. Sometimes, however, it does show phases of redirection. Any insight into what I might be doing incorrectly? Thanks SO much in advance. E I have a PHP web system that store in a windows server. In the system, there is a function for user to upload files to another server (Shared server in Unix). When i try to upload a file, it gives warning: Warning: move_uploaded_file(\\unixserver/sharedfolder/upload/test.txt) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\wamp\www\upload\index.php on line 40 For your information, my username has been assigned in xxx's group that has access to read and write on that folder. Besides, i'm able to open,create and delete files on that folder's server manually (samba). The safe mode setting is off. Does anybody has any idea why this thing happen? I'm trying to make a simple website where people register to my website. When the user doesn't fill anything inside the boxes they get a message "Please fill all required fields" on the register.php page On my local host require_once works good. It shows up.
But when i upload the files to my sever the require_once does not show up on the register.php It just refreshes and i dont get the message "Please fill all required fields"
This is the code that works in local host but not in a live server <?php require_once 'messages.php'; ?>
Here is my full code
Register page: <html> <?php require_once 'messages.php'; ?> <br><br> <form action="register-clicked.php" method="POST"> Username:<br> <input type="text" name="usernamebox" placeholder="Enter Username Here"> <br><br> Email:<br> <input type="text" name="emailbox" placeholder="Enter email here"> <br><br> Password:<br> <input type="password" name="passwordbox" placeholder="Enter password here"> <br><br> Confirm Password:<br> <input type="password" name="passwordconfirmbox" placeholder="Re-enter password here"> <br><br> <input type="submit" name="submitbox" value="Press to submit"> <br><br> </form> </html>
Register clicked <?php
session_start();
$data = $_POST;
if( empty($data['usernamebox']) ||
empty($data['emailbox']) ||
empty($data['passwordbox']) ||
empty($data['passwordconfirmbox'])) {
$_SESSION['messages'][] = 'Please fill all required fields';
header('Location: register.php');
exit;
}
if ($data['passwordbox'] !== $data['passwordconfirmbox']) {
$_SESSION['messages'][] = 'Passwords do not match';
header('Location: register.php');
exit;
}
$dsn = 'mysql:dbname=mydatabase;host=localhost';
$dbUser='myuser';
$dbPassword= 'password';
try{
$connection = new PDO($dsn, $dbUser, $dbPassword);
} catch (PDOException $exception){
$_SESSION['messages'][] = 'Connection failed: ' . $exception->getMessage();
header('Location: register.php');
exit;
}
messages.php <?php
session_start();
if (empty($_SESSION['messages'])){
return;
}
$messages = $_SESSION['messages'];
unset($_SESSION['messages']);
?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($messages as $message): ?>
<li><?php echo $message; ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
Edited Wednesday at 12:49 AM by bee65 Hi, I am not a PHP programmer. I took on a new client with a simple PHP site, without any databases. The site is up and running on the web. I would like to get it running on my local machine for further development. I have latest version of WAMP installed, running Apache version 2.2.11 and PHP version 5.3.0 I created a directory in the WAMP "www" project directory and it shows up there like it's supposed to when I browse to "localhost" Problem: The home page of website displays text but no, images, styles, footer, header, nav links, etc. Here is the code for the home page: <? define("NAV","home"); require_once('local/local.php'); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>TITLE</title> <meta name="keywords" content=""> <meta name="Description" content=""> <? include("common/dochead.php"); ?> </head> <body onLoad="<? include('common/preloads.php'); ?>"> <!-- ============================ main ============================= --> <div id="main-frame"><div id="main" class="noCollapse"> <? include("common/sign.php"); ?> <div id="right-frame"> <? include("common/navigation.php"); ?> <div id="content-frame"> <div id="content"> <h1>Welcome</h1> <p>This is the content area.

I have spent many hours on this. Regards Hi folks, I'm curious if I can for example, save a file from my server and it will save to all other servers - obviously if they accepted the connection first. It's for a software I developed and is almost complete and know there will be frequent updates to it. Instead of users downloading upates, I want the update files from my server to somehow synchronize to their server automatically? Anything called this?? Thanks for info. Following a tutorial on udemy, i tried to learn the very basics of mvc structure. I built the same project on my local server and it worked without giving me any error. but when i tried it on live server. its not working as it should. not showing any error. I tried to figure out the problem and found that for every page loading, it stops at the same line in my main.php file. <?php require($view); ?> starting from the above line. it stops. i came here to share my problem but i am unable to upload my files here. if there is a way to upload and share my files, please guide. zip file size of the whole project is 31.6 kb This isn't exactly an application design question, but rather a system design one.
I am about to install an Inventory Control System inside this store I work in.
The store itself also owns a Linode VPS running Centos 6.4 which hosts our website.
This new Inventory System will come built in with a Microsoft SQL Server, and supposedly it is a SQL Anywhere database, but I'm not too sure what that means.
I need to make this database publicly accessible, but only via the Linode VPS. Surely, setting restrictions is easy enough to address that issue. That isn't my question.
My first idea is to put this server into the DMZ, easy. But it doesn't exactly sound safe. So my next idea was to put a middleman server in the DMZ, this way the Linode can send queries to that middleman server and it will send that data to the SQL Server and back. This is very vaguely described I know, but I don't want to get too much into details, but rather, understand how I can create that middleman server, and what could Install onto it that would allow me to securely process queries?
My first thought was to install a webservice, that accepts an XML/JSON request and returns an XML/JSON response.
Then, I realized directly afterwards that I don't have any experience setting up a webservice like that.
What kind of options are there out there? Ultimately, my question is, should I just put the Server in the DMZ or should I create the middleman, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction as to getting a webservice set up? Edited by Zane, 15 July 2014 - 11:28 PM. (This might be the wrong forum; it might be server-side configuration, but alas it is the code that *calls* fwrite, so I'll start here.) I have written a script, and one thing it does is generate a file to disk using fwrite. No big deal. Here's what interests me: On most servers, the file is written successfully when the folder's permissions are 755 with recursive permissions. On some servers, 755 fails. Only 777 works. How could this be? Are permissions=permissions=permissions? Why will 755 work on one machine but not another? I'm just a logic guy; I know very little of server-side configuration and/or why there would be a difference here. Just trying to learn. Hey. I am wanting to move a couple of files from my current server to another. If i am uploading the file this is fine but if it is already on the server then im not sure how to move it. When uploading I can just use ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $myFile, FTP_BINARY); What i need to do is figure out how to get a hold of the file and store it in $myFile then this would work fine. Is this possible? Cheers PHP date and time function is not showing correct time on my local system I have the following php code date_default_timezone_set("Africa/Lagos"); $date = date('d-m-y h:i:s'); echo "Server Time ".$date ."<br>"; echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa")."<br>"; $current_datetime = date("Y-m-d") . ' ' . date("H:i:s", STRTOTIME(date('h:i:sa'))); echo "Current time1: ".$current_datetime . "<br>";
Output
Server Time 21-05-21 09:55:39
Expected Output
Server Time 21-05-21 10:55:39
Any help would be appreciated. Edited May 21 by Ponel I have two servers: WebServer and FaxServer. WebServer needs to send a fax. Is my approach shown below fairly secure? Before sending a fax, ServerWeb needs to store a record in a table representing the message, and I am using a pseudo random value for the PK which is generated as 2147483648+mt_rand(-2147483647,2147483647). WebServer then generates a hash equal to hash('sha256',$pk.'secretCodeWhichOnlyWebServerAndFaxServerKnow'). WebServer then sends curl request to FaxServer using POST which includes $pk, the hash, the fax number, some text to include in the fax, and an optional array of document to include (array(array('id'=>321,'name')=>'fileName.pdf')). FaxServer verifies that the hash is correct given $pk, that the minimum information has been received, and that the fax number is a valid phone number, and quickly responds to WebServer by echoing 0 or 1 so the code in the WebServer could continue and inform the user. If all looks okay, a new instance of PHP is started.
if(missingInformation) {echo(0);}
else {
session_start();
$_SESSION['_xfr']=$_POST;
exec('/usr/bin/php -q /path/to/send_fax.php '.session_id().' >/dev/null &');
echo(1);
}
New instance of PHP send_fax.php then does the following:
session_id($argv[1]);//Set by parent
session_start();
$data=$_SESSION['_xfr'];
$doc_list=null;
foreach ($data['documents'] AS $doc)
{
if(ctype_alnum($doc['id']))
{
$file='/some/tmp/directory/'.$doc['id'];
if(!file_exists($file))
{
$url='http://machine.WebServer.com/index.php?task=displayDocument&id='.$doc['id'].'&x='.hash('sha256','displayDocument'.$doc['id'].'secretCodeWhichOnlyWebServerAndFaxServerKnow');
$cmd='wget -O '.$file.' '.escapeshellarg($url);
exec($cmd);
}
$doc_list.=' '.$file;
}
exit('invalid document');
}
//Send the fax...
//Send another CURL request to the WebServer similar to the wget giving the fax status.
exit;
When WebServer receives the wget request for a document, it confirms the hash and sends the document to the FaxServer using X-Sendfile.When WebServer receives the CURL request regarding status, it updates the database for the applicable message. Seem reasonably secure? What I'm trying to do is copy all files from one server to another folder on another server. Here is what I have have so far.. <?PHP //connection settings $ftp_server = "server"; $ftp_user_name = "user"; $ftp_user_pass = "pass"; $dir = "/var/test/"; $destination_file = "/test/"; // set up basic connection $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); // login with username and password $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); // check connection if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { echo "FTP connection has failed!"; echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name"; exit; } else { echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name"; } if (ftp_chdir($conn_id, $dir)) { echo " <br/>Current directory is now: " . ftp_pwd($conn_id) . "\n<p/>"; } else { echo "Couldn't change directory\n<p/>"; } $buff = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, $dir); foreach($buff as $files) { echo $files. "<br/>"; if (ftp_get($conn_id, $destination_file."test.file", $dir."test.txt", FTP_BINARY)) { echo "<br/>Successfully written to $destination_file\n"; } else { echo "There was a problem\n"; } ?> That doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks, Sean |
