PHP - Weird Script Output

sure, I know how to output a picture with a php script.
the problem is, the host I use, they won't let me edit the php.ini file to look through png files for PHP scripts before outputting.
Of course, it is bad practice anyways...
Is there any way to make it easy for a user to download the image with a .png extension instead of .php. (I know this is done automatically in windows 7, like: image.php.png because it reads the content type).

Any good ideas? =)

I'm trying to make colourized output of bash script in php. So far I have this:

<?php
$cmd = '/home/thebalk/FiveM/manage.sh restart';
while (@ ob_end_flush()); // end all output buffers if any

$proc = popen($cmd, 'r');
echo '<pre>';
while (!feof($proc))
{
    echo fread($proc, 4096);
    @ flush();
}
echo '</pre>';

//
// Converts Bashoutput to colored HTML
//
function convertBash($cmd) {
    $dictionary = array(
        '[1;30m' => '<span style="color:black">',
        '[1;31m' => '<span style="color:red">', 
        '[1;32m' => '<span style="color:green">',   
        '[1;33m' => '<span style="color:yellow">',
        '[1;34m' => '<span style="color:blue">',
        '[1;35m' => '<span style="color:purple">',
        '[1;36m' => '<span style="color:cyan">',
        '[1;37m' => '<span style="color:white">',
        '[m'   => '</span>'
    );
    $htmlString = str_replace(array_keys($dictionary), $dictionary, $cmd);
    return $htmlString;
}
?>

and my output looks like this:

[1;36m BOT:[0;39m THE [1;32m TheBalkanRP-SRV01-test SERVER [0;39m WAS RUNNING [1;36m BOT:[0;39m STOPPING THE [1;32m TheBalkanRP-SRV01-test SERVER [1;36m BOT:[0;39m GTA V SERVER HAS STOPPED [1;36m BOT:[0;39m REMOVING CACHE FOLDER [1;36m BOT:[1;31m CACHE FOLDER HAS BEEN REMOVED [0;39m [1;36m BOT:[0;39m STARTING THE [1;32m TheBalkanRP-SRV01-test [0;39m SERVER [1;36m BOT:[1;32m SERVER HAS STARTED [0;39m

I know my function is not connected with the code above but what is the right way to do it? Thank you!

I'm writing a script to grab some info from a list of urls in the database, but it just continuously loads and doesn't display anything.

Here's the script:
<?
$username="*****";
$password="*****";
$database="*****";

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query="SELECT * FROM dvds";
$result=mysql_query($query);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

echo "<b><center>Database Output</center></b><br><br>";

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {

$url=mysql_result($result,$i,"imdb_url");

echo "<b>Getting page: $url</b><br>";

//get the page content
$imdb_content = get_data($url);

//parse for movie details
$name = get_match('/<title>(.*)<\/title>/isU',$imdb_content);
$director = strip_tags(get_match('/<h5[^>]*>Director:<\/h5>(.*)<\/div>/isU',$imdb_content));
$plot = get_match('/<h5[^>]*>Plot:<\/h5>(.*)<\/div>/isU',$imdb_content);

$run_time = get_match('/Runtime:<\/h5>(.*)<\/div>/isU',$imdb_content);

//build content
$content.= '<h2>Film</h2><p>'.$name.'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>Director</h2><p>'.$director.'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>Plot</h2><p>'.substr($plot,0,strpos($plot,'<a')).'</p>';

//display the content
echo $content;

$i++;
}

//gets the match content
function get_match($regex,$content)
{
    preg_match($regex,$content,$matches);
    return $matches[1];

?>

Hopefully someone better at php can tell me how to fix it! Thanks!

I have made a script that reads values from MySQL database and "Echo" them.  When I run the script the variables from the DB are printed on the page as they should be. 

Now I want to make those variables accessible to my C++ application to read.  I am using WinInet functions to communicate with the script. 

Can somebody explain to me what I have to do in my php script be able to access the variables directly.

The below script gets the value $var = $_GET['Version']; that is sent from my C++ app.  It then reads from the DB table the Version number entered in the table.  Then compares the version number from my C++ app to the DB version number.   Now I want to make the Version Number from the DB accessible to my C++ app.  I want to be able to get the exact value stored in: $row['VersionNumber']; with my C++ app.

<?php
$dbhost = 'host';
$dbuser = 'dbusername';
$dbpass = 'dbpass';

mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die                      ('Error connecting to mysql');
$dbname = 'MyDbsName';
mysql_select_db($dbname);
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Users");
$var = $_GET['Version'];
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
    if($var == $row['VersionNumber'])
    {
    echo $row['VersionNumber'];
    }
}
?>

Hi,
I have a script that reads data from a website and insert this into a DB and every time a record is written into DB the script gives an output on the screen
When I run this script local on my computer it runs ok and the screen update is every 20 or 30 seconds (not realtime) i though this maybe because of my computer is to slow etc.
When I upload this to the server, it's even worse, no updates at all but it does insert the records into the DB.
I believe it must be a setting in the Apache or PHP server.
Anyone please, advice

Thanks

im testing the following script and it wont send 1 2 3 until the script has finished executing.

What can i do to flush the buffer after every echo statement??

<?php 

echo "1";
ob_flush();flush();
sleep(5);
echo "2";
ob_flush();flush();
sleep(5);
echo "3";
ob_flush();flush();

?>

Well I have a script that executes a scan on a system set to run infinitely, and I need it to echo out a message each time it loops through, but I don't want it to echo out the message with the next loop message below it, and the next one below that etc... I've tried using the flush(); function and been messing around with that with no luck. For security reasons I don't want to release any of the processing code, but here is the basic construction of the script:

<?PHP
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
$RepeatIt = -1;
for($g=1; $g!=$RepeatIt+1; $g++)
{
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***

$ScanMessage = ":.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: ".$MobName." (SCAN #$g) :.:.:"."<br/><br/>";
echo $ScanMessage;

***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
}
?>

At the moment it's returning:

:.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: DEUS EX DESTROYER (SCAN #1) :.:.:

:.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: DEUS EX DESTROYER (SCAN #2) :.:.:

:.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: DEUS EX DESTROYER (SCAN #3) :.:.:

:.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: DEUS EX DESTROYER (SCAN #4) :.:.:

So what I want it to do is just delete the scanning message and replace it with the next scan message so while running this script you would see just the number increment on the same line.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Dear all,

I updated my versions of php/MySQL and OS to Windows 7 Professional and weird "Warnings and Notices:" started popping up. E.g.

Code: [Select]
"Notice: Undefined index: page in C:\Server\htdocs\domain\index.php on line 25 "
Code: [Select]
Warning: 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/New_York' for '-4.0/DST' instead in C:\Server\htdocs\domain\index.php on line 12 "
I don't know what is going on. Unless I enter these following functions (error_reporting(0);, session_start() with their parameters these warnings display. Can anyone offer any advice?

Any assistance is appreciated.

 

this works
Code: [Select]
<form action="" method="post">
<input name="DepartureDate" type="text">
<input name="" type="submit"></form>
<?php
$DepartureDate=$_POST['DepartureDate'];

 echo  $DepartureDate = stripslashes($DepartureDate); // sql inject clean
$regex = "/^[a-z]+$/";
if (!preg_match($regex, $DepartureDate)){
echo 'CAPS BABY!';}
else
{echo 'OK!';}
?>

this doesnt
Code: [Select]
if (!preg_match($regex, $DepartureDate)) {
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

echo $url_success = "confirmation.php";
//echo("<meta http-equiv = refresh content=0;url=".$url_success.">");
   }
 
  else {
 

exit();



  }

tore the forum apart looking for a solution to this one.  for some reason, this is generating an 'unexpected $end' error.  this is ALL the code.  in entirety. i was just messing around getting familiar with filesystem stuff.  no short tags.  no curly brackets.  so...

Code: [Select]
<?php
$fileHandler = fopen("someFile.txt", 'w') or die ("could not create file");
$text = <<<_END
drop some text
and some stuff
plus this stuff
some other stuff

_END;
fwrite($fileHandler, $text) or die ("could not write to file");
fclose($fileHandler);
echo "File 'someFile.txt' written successfully";
?>

thanks people.  this has be stumped.  not like its complicated, eh?  and as you can see, screws up the colour coding as well... but WHY!?!?

WR!

I have a development machine running WAMP on a win7 64 bit box. php 5.3.13 I have a server that runs Apache 2.2, php 5.3.12 MySql, etc.   I am running joomla 2.5.27 on both machines. I require a number of php includes to many of the joomla articles (this works great via a plugin called Directphp)   After considerable time getting the site fully working on the dev machine, I ran into an unforseen problem when I uploaded to the production box. For some unknown reason, the includes work fine on the dev machine using $DOCUMENT_ROOT to define the root (then tag the correct path and file to this) However, on the production box, this doesn't work - but...  $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] does.   Annoyingly, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] won't work on the dev machine - and $DOCUMENT_ROOT doesn't work on the production box.   So, I can't come up with a generic method to keep both machines happy. I've checked the php.ini files on both boxes and the register global is OFF on both.   They also seem to interperate the syntax differently in the actual include files - one box hates double quotes - the other has issues with single quotes. This is really annoying as most of the includes are HTML snippets, coded into php. The double/single quote problem means I would need to have two versions of the include files.   Can anyone help me with this? - serious hair pulling has started!        

Hey guys, how are you. I have an odd problem and I am not sure what is causing it. I recently finished my form system, with PHP validation that sends the  inputted information via email. Now, everything is working fine on my end with absolutely no issues, but it is not working on any other computers, even though my computer is in no way hosting the files.

Now, the issue other computers are getting is when the form is filled out it doesn't redirect to the success page, it redirects back to the form page with nothing filled out and it doesn't display the errors on the page. Any idea on what might be causing this?

Again, EVERYTHING works flawlessly on my end, that being, the display of any errors, the proper redirect, everything.

Thanks!!!

How can you prevent your browser from caching a page? I think that my news feed is being cached and is causing new posts to not be displayed even after a refresh. Eventually, the posts will show up after about 20 refreshes. I know my query is right so I didn't know if there was a way to stop page caching.

I don't really know if it is a caching issue though. I'm starting to think I just have some weird bug in my code because sometimes on refresh news feed items get removed then i'll refresh again and some will get added back in then i'll refresh again and they'll all be there. Ever heard of this happening?
