PHP - Php Require Login

I've just downloaded a 3d party app and I'm finding that most (98%) of the [files].php have a "<?php" but not a "?>" in them.  I created a tst.php...HW and it seems to not care.  An improvement? Mox-Nix? Poor form? Or the same coder the loves 0xEEE text on a 0xFFF background because it's sooooo cool.   Head @ 42 deg /////   Thanks cal    

Hello.

Include is identical to require, only require stops any further script execution.

Just wondering if anyone could give me a good example, where 'require' should be used instead 'include'.

Thanks.

I am very confused in between these three terms INCLUDE, REQUIRE, HEADER...

Can anyone tell me the difference between these three terms...

I just want to run a php file in the if condition..

Basically i do not want to open i just want to run ...

for ex.

Code: [Select]
<?php
if(condition)
{
// run mail.php file
}
?>

how  can I start an scenario like this in the sql database?

Hello,


I have a small and annoying problem. Imagine that I have a main folder on my FTP server which has index.php and I then have a php folder for all of my small scripts and an includes folder for misc files. So, for instance

http://www.somedomain.com/index.php
http://www.somedomain.com/php/somescript.php
http://www.somedomain.com/includes/somefile.html

Inside somescript.php, I need to use one of the files from the includes folder, like this for example:

require('../includes/somefile.html');

This is all fine, but the problem is when I include the PHP file on my index.php page. Then I am telling PHP to go one step back to find the includes folder, but the problem is that it only needs to go one step back if it PHP script is not included on some page outside of the php folder. If I run php/somescript.php, there is no problem, but if I include php/somescript.php on my index.php, then there is trouble!

I hope you guys understand what I mean.

Thanks in advance!

PS - I would appreciate if the solution is not about moving php/somescript.php or using full URLs in my includes.

Hi,

I want to have a require() and a header() on the same page. This is just impossible right?

This is a two part question... my previous post was surrounding an issue with Sessions, now I was told that it may be a server side issue so I contacted my host provider who said to me that sessions cookies REQUIRE https?? now this can't be valid because I've had no issues with sessions prior to this week - second part of this is, is there something I'm missing with maybe an updated versions? 

 

PS: yes, i'm new and simply trying to learn...

Hi

This is a strange one, and I'm not sure whats going on here. I've tried googling the answer to no avail.

Basically, I'm writing a Wordpress plugin, and here's my setup:

install.php has a class called 'two_install'

The main plugin file code snippet:

Code: [Select]
// Installation
require(plugin_basename('installer.php'));

// Initiate installation class
$twp_install = new twp_install;


This results in this on activation:

Fatal error: Class 'twp_install' not found in path-on-server\wp-content\plugins\twitter_parser\twitter_parser.php on line xx

Anyone got any ideas? Just a note, there is definitely a class called 'twp_install' in installer.php!

Thanks in advance

Php Folks,

As you know, typing the same code over and over again on all files is daunting.

I was wondering, if I can have an error_reporting.php file and then put:

 

include('error_reporting.php');

 

at the top of all my php files as header, where the error_reporting.php would have this content:

	<?php
	error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('error_reporting','E_ALL');
ini_set('display_errors','1');
ini_set('display_startup_errors','1');
?>
	

Q1. Is that ok or not ?

 

Q2.

Usually, I have a conn.php with content like this:

	<?php
	$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","db_database");
$db_server = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'root';
$db_password = '';
$db_database = 'test';
$conn->set_charset('utf8mb4');//Always use Charset.
	if (!$conn)
{
    //Error Message to show user in technical/development mode to see errors.
    die("Database Error : " . mysqli_error($conn));
    
    //Error Message to show User in Layman's mode to see errors.
    die("Database error.");
    exit();
}
	?>
	

 

And then, on all my php files, I just reference to the conn.php by putting the following line on the header:

	include('conn.php');
	

 

Or:

 

	require('conn.php');
	

 

And on each php file, just before dealing with mysql, I have a line like this:

	mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ALL|MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$conn->set_charset("utf8mb4");
	

Now, I am wondering, why should I write the above 2 lines on all my php files that deal with mysql ? To keep things short, why don;t I just add those 2 lines in the error_reporting.php ? So, it looks like this:

 

error_reporting.php

	<?php
ini_set('error_reporting','E_ALL');//error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','1');
ini_set('display_startup_errors','1');
	mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ALL|MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$conn->set_charset("utf8mb4");
?>
	

Shall I do this or not ?

This error is very bizarre since I can't seem to debug it. When I require my header, it is included. When I require my footer, it is not. I am 100% the paths are correct, and I tried another file to make sure it wasn't the footer causing the error. Here's the code for the header, footer, and index. If you need to see anything else just tell me.

header
Code: [Select]
<?php ob_start(); ?>
<?php ini_set('session.cookie_domain', '.domain'); ?>
<?php ini_set('display_errors','On'); ?>
<?php session_start(); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

<head>
    <link rel='stylesheet' href='includes/css/reset.css' type="textcss"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="includes/css/style.css" type="text/css"/>

    <title>Domain</title>
</head>

<?php
require('classes/common.inc.php');

$common = new common();

if($common->_truesession()) {
    $hsuser = $_SESSION['username'];
}

$common->_cookiecheck();

$db = $common->_db();

echo "<ul>";
echo "<li><a href=domain.com>Domain</a><ul>";

$query = $db->_query("select * from links where id > 1");

while($row = $db->_assoc($query)) {
    $name = $row['name'];
    $link = $row['url'];
    echo "<li><a href=".$db->_out($link).">".$db->_out($name)."</a></li>";
}

echo "</ul></li></ul>";
?>

index
Code: [Select]
<?php require('includes/header.php'); ?>
<?php

?>
<?php require('includes/footer.php'); ?>
footer
Code: [Select]
<?php

echo "<ul>";
echo "<li><a href=about.php>About</a></li>";

if(!$common->_truesession()) {
    echo "<li><a href=register.php>Register</a></li>";
}

echo "</ul>";

$year = date('Y');
echo "&copy $year <a href='http://domain.com'>Domain</a>";


ob_end_flush();
?>

is there a way to do an include or require to a whole directory? I have only done includes and requires with single files in the past, but have a situation where this could save me a lot of time.

hey,

i have been trying all day to get something to work that will allow me to replicate the / part of an href Code: [Select]
<a href="/images/blah.jpg"> to go from the root folder in php.

i thought the easiest way to do this is to use php to get the domain address.

require($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/header.php");

i have gotten to this part but am still getting the error that the file doesnt exist probably because there is no http:// in front of it but i do not want to turn allow_url_includes on in the php.ini file.

How can i acheive this?

Thanks

Greetings,

I threw together a log in script that uses regenerate_session_id to help prevent session hijacking.

The script has 2 basic parts: authentication and session validation

Session Validation is a script that is set-a-top of other php scripts using a require_once call. It validates the token and session, and it will regenerate a session id if need be.

What I've noticed when loading a page, is when a user has been validated (session id and token id) AND a new session id has been generated, if the client aborts while PHP is processing the rest of script, the session becomes invalid and the user must re log in.

I believe what is happening is the server-side has been updated with the newly generated session but the client hasn't gotten the updated cookie thus creating a mismatch at time of next session and token validation. Does this make any sense?

Possible Fix: If session id regeneration is required, conditionally register a shutdown function that will initiate the regeneration of session id. This will ensure the initial PHP processing has completed, and a less intensive block of code can regenerate the id. This closes the client-abortion while processing window substantially

I'm looking for some advice on possible solutions and problems.

Thanks!  :]

My php needs a wrapper function for require.  Because there is a specific naming scheme thats always applied, and i want to log every require.

so i made $this->_require($file)
The problem is, the scope isn't carried over, so any variables that exists in the method that called _require don't exist in the required file. But they DO exist when i don't use the wrapper function.

So it seems in order for the variable scope to carry into the required file the require itself has to be in the same function call.

Is there any solution to me being able to make a wrapper method for require?

thanks!

<?php
$pageTitle='Edit Profile';
require_once ("header.php");
?>

How can I pass a variable like that through header.php?  I know it doesn't work the way I have it.
