PHP - Moved: Crontab Settings

How do I setup my PHP code and server to accept custom domains on my program like tumblr does? http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/custom_domains
I know the domain owner needs to do the A name part but what needs to be done my side?

Cheers in advance

so I've been putting all of my php scripts to exe to protect some of the code I have written, say I write a simple loop script like below



<?php

$REPEAT = 1000;
$ECHO = "CLUEL3SS";


for($cwb=1; $cwb!=$REPEAT; $cwb++)
  {
  echo "#$cwb: $ECHO\n";
  }
sleep(99999999);
?>



Now how can I set the variable $REPEAT when the script is in .exe form and I cannot edit the code

I have tried



$REPEAT = fgets(STDIN);



That doesnt seem to work though when I have 5+ variables to assign and I have an array set like like



$Variable[] = 12345799;
$Variable[] = 34324555;
$Variable[] = 34289789;
$Variable[] = 32899090;



How can I use a text file to set these options?

maybe have the variables assigned in a text file like

Code: [Select]

; this is a comment, this will be ignored
REPEAT : 1000
; this is another comment, ignored also...
ECHO : CLUEL3SS
; comment
Variable : 3423423
Variable : 2903890
Variable : 3948903
Variable : 9823900





How would I have the php script read the text file in that format to set the variables?

Hello,

I'm working on a project and at some point ill need to save user specific settings ex: show/hide email etc... configuration file is not the case i thin  because there are specific to every user, database will be the choice but what  practice(logic) is the best to save these settings?
Thank you!

Every now and then, I experience some strange behavior and eventually trace it back to parse_ini_file's scanner_mode being applicable to some parameter but not another, and am looking for alternatives.  Below are several of my thoughts.  How do you store configuration settings?  Do you use different approaches based on the application, and if so what criteria governs which you use?

Keep with a ini file with parse_ini_file.  Obviously, not working for me. An ini file but with a class dedicated to ensuring the data is appropriate.  Seems like too much duplicating content which will result in errors. YAML.  Don't think I want to. XML.  Not as readable. In a database.  Maybe, but might be harder to manage. Hardcode an array in PHP.  Probably not. JSON.  I like the idea, but feel comments are important in a config file, and am considering the following: Add extra valid JSON properties which contain comments.  Don't like the idea. Use JavaScript's JSON.stringify.  Too much mixing technologies. Add comments to the JSON and then strip them using a 3rd party parser such as https://json5.org/ or a little regex.  My main issue is inability to auto-format, but this seems viable. Any other ideas?

Thanks!

 

Hi,   I'm not sure if this is possible, however I'm sure somebody will be able to point me in the right direction. Relativley new to php here.   I would like to write a small app that will change my IP/Subnet Mask/Gateway depending on a selection made from a dropdown list. I will have a tota; of 50 different IP settings & drop downs (each drop down will represent a different location)   I have yet to start writing the app, just on paper so far - can this be done?   I have seen examples of batch scripts like the one below that work, would I need to incorporate something like this into my php?

netsh int ipv4 set address name="Local Area Connection" source=static address=10.127.86.25 mask=255.255.255.240 gateway=10.127.86.30

This is just a personal project, I'm trying to further my knowledge!   Thanks   J

I'm kinda new to PHP programming and I'm working on a large project at my university.
Currently I'm working on adding as many choices to the Admin account so he could customize the site to his needs.
All I wanted to know is what is the customary way in most sites to save these customization settings?
Should I just put them in the database? Or maybe save them in a file (XML or some other kind)?
Been scouring Google to find some information but didn't get anything useful so hopefully someone here could help me figure this out.

Hello again everyone,
                                 I know someone knows how to do this.

Question: In the program you created in question 4, allow your user the option of saving the information for the next time they visit. If they choose "yes", save information in a cookie.

1st part of Question (I have done): Created a text input with options to select font family, font size, and font color.

At the bottom of question5.php I added a checkbox to save the information. I then created an if statement on the processing page (question5display.php. I would appreciate some help, thanks guys.

Here is the form ( called it question5.php):

<html>
<head>
<title>
Please Enter Your Text</title>
</head>

<body>



<form method="post" action="question5display.php">

<p>Enter the text you want formatted please:

<input type="text" name="textformat" maxlength="30" size="30" />

<table>
<tr>
   <td><label for="font">Select Font:</label></td>
   <td><select id="font" name="font">
   <option value="Verdana">Verdana</option>
   <option value="Arial">Arial</option>
   <option value="Times New Roman">Times New Roman</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
   <td><label for ="size">Select Size:</label></td>
   <td><select id="size" name="size">
   <option value="10px">10px</option>
   <option value="12px">12px</option>
   <option value="14px">14px</option>
   <option value="20px">20px</option>
   
</select>
</td>
</tr>
   
<tr>
   <td><label for="color">Select Color:</label></td>
   <td><select id="color" name="color">

<input type="checkbox" id="save_prefs" name="save_prefs" />
<label for="save_prefs">Save these preferences for the next time you log in.</label>
   
   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>


</body>
</html>






Here is the page it goes to (called it question5display):



<?php

if (isset($_POST['save_prefs'])) {
   setcookie('font', $_POST['font'], time() + 60);
   setcookie('size', $_POST['size'], time() + 60);
   setcookie('color', $_POST['color'], time() + 60);

   $_COOKIE['font'] = $_SESSION['font'];
   $_COOKIE['size'] = $_SESSION['size'];
   $_COOKIE['color'] = $_SESSION['color'];


}
   
   
session_start();
$_SESSION['textformat'] = $_POST['textformat'];
$_SESSION['font'] = $_POST['font'];
$_SESSION['size'] = $_POST['size'];
$_SESSION['color'] = $_POST['color'];


?>


<html>
<head>

?>>
<?php

I have been working on this awhile (the perfect PHP error handling for my coding style).  I have tried to set it up as:
Code: [Select]
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & E_STRICT & ~(E_NOTICE));
?>
I want this to show me E_ALL errors, E_STRICT errors, and NOT show me E_NOTICE.
Is this the right way to set that up, or am I doing something wrong. I haven't used E_STRICT before but
I am anxious to see what kind of errors that have it showing since I haven't messed with it before.

Thanks again.

I'm writing a mini social network and I'm having trouble figuring out how to deal with privacy settings.
I have established a range of privacy options (level 1-4): 1. Only Facebook friends can see profile (users connect via FB) 2. Only current classmates 3. Past + current classmates 4. All users in given group
I am writing a function to return a list of available users based on a given parameter (eg. Find all classmates of a user). Obviously I have to respect users privacy settings, so I thought to query against all users with level 2 permissions, however I realise that I may miss out some classmates who are FB friends but have permission levels set to 1.

Secondly, I'm looking to find out the relationship between two users (a function that I can plug in 2 user IDs and return their relationship...classmates, FB friends, past classmates, no relationship) which I can then use to determine whether a user has permission to view another users profile.

I don't have much code as of yet, because I spent a long time exploring one avenue which I now realise to be the wrong one!

Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a configuration file, and I use parse_ini_file() to parse it into an array at the initial entry point of my script.   I would like the settings to be available to all downstream scripts/methods/functions. Note that my intent is not to change them outside of the configuration file, and ideally they will be readonly, however, if not, I suppose that is okay and I will just be sure not to modify them.   I've read about dependency injection, and while this mostly makes sense, it seems like a lot of script/troubleshooting for little if any value for this scenario.   I've read that global variables are bad (couples your objects to some "god" object, cannot unit test, difficult to troubleshoot, difficult to work with multiple developers, potential conflicts with other classes, namespace pollution), but maybe not for this case?   Another option is defining a bunch of constants to the appropriate values, but this seems redundant.   Or maybe some static class with all the values?   What would be the best way to make configuration settings available to all PHP scripts, functions, and methods?

I am writing the code for my options page in my wordpress theme. It was working for awhile and the next time i checked, it couldnt save. When i hit save, it redirects to options.php. When i remove the code for the social options it still doesnt work and yet it was working before i included that code. What could be the problem
here is the code

Hello

I'm trying to build a plugin to get my site up to scratch for the new EU laws on cookies coming in place on the 26th

What my main goal is a notification that when the users click accept the cookies set on machine but untill a "approval" cookie is found the site shouldn't set any cookies.

Ive written this code, which allows me to set & unset a cookies via a form, using php and html, then depending on the submission either set or unset (which is a good start because im a noob!)

but: the page needs an extra refresh in order to show the set cookie? does anyone know why or how i can resolve this?

kind regards, and thank you

Code: [Select]
<?
$set = $_POST["set"];

  if($set == "on")
setcookie(EURegulations, $set, time() + (20*365*24*60*60), www.domain.net);
else
  if($set == "off")
setcookie("EURegulations", "", time()-3600);
?>

Hey everyone. I was hoping to get some help on something that I am working on.
First, I hope this is the right place to post this. Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum.

I am new to PHP as I work mostly as a Sys Admin.
Recently, I have been working on a project running a number of applications on PHP.
I configured a box and a PHP application that has a web interface.

Everything looks good except for when I log into the web interface. I am greeted with this message:
Code: [Select]
Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Los_Angeles' for 'PDT/-7.0/DST' instead in /usr/local/www/base/base_main.php on line 138n
I have done a lot of research trying to figure out what is causing this.
A lot of websites and posts on other sites suggested that the fix would be to make a change in the php.ini file in the : date.timezone section.

I did make that change, however the issue still persists.

I decided to make a quick test.php file to read the configuration file and see if I can get additional information.

I opened up the test.php web page and made sure I was reading the correct configuration file. Which, according to the test page, I am.

Moving forward, under the DATE section of the test.php file, I see this:
Code: [Select]
Warning: phpinfo() [function.phpinfo]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Los_Angeles' for 'PDT/-7.0/DST' instead in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/test.php on line 2
Which is what I see as well when I log into the application's interface.

Under that date section, it says the following:

Code: [Select]
Default timezone -- America/Los_Angeles
Which is my timezone.
For a test, I changed the "date.timezone" section in my php.ini file to "America/New York", restarted apache and loaded the config file backup.
Looking at the  date section again, the error is still there and the DEFAULT TIMEZONE is still pointing to "America/Los_Angeles".

So it appears that its not reading my config file or I am completely missing something.

Here is the full section of the DATE part of the test.php file:
