PHP - Where Session Value Save On Webserver?

First thing: I formatted my drive today and fresh installs of Apache2, PHP5 and MariaDB on Linux Mint 17.1. No files have been messed with. Not one.    I created info.php and placed it in var/www dir. The file consists of one line:  <?php phpinfo(); ?>   When I run it our of my web editor (Bluefish), instead of showing me on my web browser the PHP info page that's suppose to show, I get:  <?php phpinfo(); ?>   I've been fighting this for two days! Done everything suggested by many others online...and that's why I had to scrub my drive; forgot all the files I augmented.   Does anyone know why my PHP files behave this way? I'd love to start working with PHP, but I can't until whatever's broken is fixed. Any ideas? Any suggestions? I'm at my wit's end with this.   Landslyde

This snippet was running perfectly on localhost, but after I uploaded the file containing this snippet on a webserver, the script does generate an error, or even displaying none (no results).

   #selects all data from table and displays it in textfields. If failed, it will display the error
$sql = "SELECT * from tblquotes ORDER BY Rand() LIMIT 1";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$connection);

if($result = mysql_query($sql ,$connection)) {
$num = mysql_numrows($result);
$count =0;

while ($count < $num){
$q1 = mysql_result($result,$count,"quote");
$q2 = mysql_result($result,$count,"author");
$count++;
}
} else{
echo "ERROR: ".mysql_error(); 
}


what seems to be the problem? Need help... 

I'm running on PHP 4.4.4 on Localhost and PHP 5.2.9 on the webserver.
Mysql 4/5 on Localhost and Mysql 4.1.22 on the webserver

Hi guys, I have a website that I created and it has the ability to upload images to a directory that is located in the same web server, but there are so many images now and it is taking too much space. What I am trying to do now is for the script to upload the images to a different server but don't want to run FTP on that second server if I don't need to. Does anyone know how I can do that?

Thank you guys in advanced,

Hi all,

I am having trouble in getting my search facility to work on a web server. Currently when I run the website on my local server using WAMP it works fine and retrieves all the results contained in the database but it does not retrieve any results when uploaded to a web server. I'm currently using Heart Internet if this helps.

Below is the code I have used for the search facility:

Code: [Select]

<?php
// this script searches for matches on the posted search string in courses, modules tables.

$searchstr = $_POST['search'];
$trimmedstr = trim($searchstr); //trim whitespace from the stored variable

echo "<h2 id='homecol'>Searching for... &quot;".$trimmedstr."&quot;</h2><hr class='homecols' />";

//Build SQL search queries
//search courses table
$queryProd = "SELECT * FROM courses WHERE courseTitle LIKE \"%$trimmedstr%\" OR courseDescription LIKE \"%$trimmedstr%\" OR courseCode LIKE \"%$trimmedstr%\"ORDER BY courseTitle";
$numresultsProd=mysql_query($queryProd);
$numrowsProd=mysql_num_rows($numresultsProd);
// echo "results found for courses: ".$numrowsProd."<br>"; // test code

//search modules table
$queryCat = "SELECT * FROM modules WHERE moduleTitle LIKE \"%$trimmedstr%\" OR moduleSummary LIKE \"%$trimmedstr%\" OR moduleCode LIKE \"%$trimmedstr%\"ORDER BY moduleTitle";
$numresultsCat=mysql_query($queryCat);
$numrowsCat=mysql_num_rows($numresultsCat);
// echo "results found for modules: ".$numrowsCat."<br>"; //test code




// If no results found, offer google search as alternative or back to home page
if ($numrowsProd + $numrowsCat == 0)
{
  echo "<h3>Results:</h3><br>";
  echo "<p>Sorry, we could not find any results for: &quot;".$trimmedstr."&quot;</p>";

// google
 echo "<p><a href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=".$trimmedstr."\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Look up".$trimmedstr." on Google\">
 Click here to search on google instead</a> or Return to our <a href='../home.php'>Home Page</a></p>";
}

else //list search results
{
  if($numrowsProd >0) // list results fromcourses
  {
  $resultProd = mysql_query($queryProd) or die("Couldn't execute query");

// begin ordered list
echo "<h3><strong>Results from Courses:</strong></h3><p><ol>";
$countProd = 1;

// display the results returned
   while ($rowProd= mysql_fetch_array($resultProd)) {
$courseCode = $rowProd["courseCode"];
   $title = $rowProd["courseTitle"];
$prodID = $rowProd["courseID"];
$descProd = $rowProd["courseDescription"];




   echo "<p><li><a href='../department/courseselect.php?pid=$prodID'>$title</a> - $descProd</li></p>";
   $countProd++ ;
   }
echo "</ol></p>";
  }
  
  if($numrowsCat >0) // and/or list results from modules
  {
  $resultCat = mysql_query($queryCat) or die("Couldn't execute query");

// begin ordered list
echo "&nbsp;<h3>Results from Modules:</h3><p><ol>";
$countCat = 1;

// display the results returned
   while ($rowCat= mysql_fetch_array($resultCat)) {
$moduleCode = $rowCat["moduleCode"];
   $catName = $rowCat["moduleTitle"];
$catID = $rowCat["moduleID"];
$descCat = $rowCat["moduleSummary"];

   echo "<p><li><a href='../department/module_detail.php?pid=$catID'>$catName</a> - $descCat</li></p>";
   $countCat++ ;
}
echo "</ol></p>";
  }
 

echo "<p>Please click on either the course or module to view further information</p>";
}

?>



If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated

I am having trouble resolving an error.

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/s519970/public_html/header.php:27) in /home/s519970/public_html/admin/login.php on line 2

 What I can gather is I can't use "header (Location: 'admin.php')" after i've used session_start(). I have tried to replace the header (Location: 'admin.php') with this:

                echo "<script>document.location.href='admin.php'</script>";
      echo "<script>'Content-type: application/octet-stream'</script>";

I've been trying to read up on solutions but haven't been able to get it sorted. If anyone can offer some advice that would be greatly appreciated as im new to php.

Code: [Select]
<?php
  session_start();
  if(isset($_SESSION['user']))

                echo "<script>document.location.href='admin.php'</script>";
echo "<script>'Content-type: application/octet-stream'</script>";
?>

<div id="loginform">

<form action="dologin.php" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td><span>Username:</span></td>
<td><input type="text" name="username" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span>Password:</span></td>
<td><input type="password" name="password" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="right"><input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

</div>
I have tried using require_once('yourpage.php'); before my <head></head> tags in the header document where I've specified the html information but this doesn't seem to work. I've been advised to use ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); but I am not sure how to implement this.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

i have this problem
Code: [Select]
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/maximasy/public_html/newscp/index.php:1) in /home/maximasy/public_html/newscp/index.php on line 2

my source code is

<?php
session_start();
include_once("config.php"); 
include_once("functions.php");
$errorMessage = '';
if (isset($_POST['txtUserId']) && isset($_POST['txtPassword'])) {
if ($_POST['txtUserId'] === "$user" && $_POST['txtPassword'] === "$pass") {

$_SESSION['basic_is_logged_in'] = true;
require("main.php");
exit;?>

I'm making a simple login system with MySQL and PHP (very simple, I'm just starting with PHP). The MySQL portion is done, but I need to ensure only people who are logged in can see certain content.

To check if people are logged in, my website checks that they have the $_SESSION['user'] variable set. If it is set, then it lets them continue through the website, if not, it tells them to login. Is that enough security, or can people simply inject a session cookie into their browser to spoof that they are logged in?

My idea was to generate a session key cookie when they login (just a random string of letters and numbers) and store that in the database, then on every page, check to make sure their session key is the same thing that's in the database. Is this necessary? It seems expensive.

hi everyone.

i'm wondering what the best way is to create a session variable and pass it to an iframe.
i need to do something along these lines, but it doesn't seem to pass the ID. Any hints on how i should accomplish this?

Code: [Select]
session_start();
  $_SESSION['ID']=$_GET['ID']; // id from previous page
$ID=session_id();

 <iframe src="iframepage.php?ID=<?php echo $ID; ?>" style="width:680px; height:200px;" noresize="noresize" frameborder="0" border="0" scrolling="Yes" allowtransparency="true" /> </iframe>

Just curious how other people feel about this.  I am working on an application where a lot of info is pulled from MySQL and needed on multiple pages.     Would it make more sense to...   1.  Pull all data ONCE and store it in SESSION variables to use on other pages    2.  Pull the data from the database on each new page that needs it   I assume the preferred method is #1, but maybe there is some downside to using SESSION variables "too much"?   Side question that's kind of related:  As far as URLs, is it preferable to have data stored in them (i.e. domain.com/somepage.php?somedata=something&otherdata=thisdata) or use SESSION variables to store that data so the URLs can stay general/clean (i.e. domain.com/somepage.php)?   Both are probably loaded questions but any possible insight would be appreciated.   Thanks!

Evening!

I've been iffing and ahhing over this and well im not too sure, hence the post.

Code: [Select]
// Redirects if there is no session id selected and echos the error on the previous page
if(!isset($_GET['get']) || ($_GET['getget'])){
header("Location: #.php?error");
}
So it should simply check if get is set if it isnt then see if getget is set?

If not redirect and show the error.

Now ive tried it and even when get/getget is set it still redirects, probably something silly. Care to share anyone?

Harry.
