PHP - An Php File To Be Called Using Include And To Be Open In A Target Frame

Hi everyone!

I've been working on a php script to replace links that contain a query with direct links to the files they would redirect to.
The script has to work with a large xml file, which might take a few minutes.
Because of the xml size the script will never finish. The php execution time limit prevents the script from finishing and can't be set to a higher value.

I rewrote my script, so it splits the xml file into multiple "chunk" files that will be processed later.
For each chunk, I call a second php script from within the first. So each xml chunk can be processed at the same time.
For example, for 20 xml chunks, the second php script will be launched 20 times per chunk.

To convert the queries , the second script uses get_headers($url, 1)  on each link in the xml chunk, which then should return a direct link as $headers['Location'];
BUT, the header always returns empty.

For some reason I could get the headers when I used get_headers() from the first php script without calling the second ones that process the chunks...
I spend a lot of time trying to figure out what is going on, I included the files I'm using.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

In this case I have to rewrite the xml with this script. Situation is not optimal, I'm running the chunk script because we're stuck with the execution time limit too.

Export filter: This loops over a xml file and splits it into chunks

<?php
//ini_set('max_execution_time', 10);

// ---- includes
if ( ! defined('ABSPATH') ) {
    require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-load.php' );
}


// ---- end includes

Export chunk processor: The xml was split by the previous script. This one takes one of the chunks and calls get_headers() , sending a link containing a query multiple of this script run at same time. The queries are then picked up by the last php file.

When the chunk processor calls a query link with get_headers(), the query will be noticed by the next script, the query converter:

I use jQuery when adding messages. However, the file can be called directly. For example: includes/add_comment.php?id=2

So, I can make a form and call this file directly to add a message. ID is user id and form can be submited with HTML form wherever are located.

How to prevent direct access to the file when called through a Ajax?

Hello All,

I am in desperate help here since my site was DDoS attacked by some one in turkey (Ips originate mostly from turkey, Germany, and some other Europe countries). I have installed the ddos deflation and most of the IPs are now blocked.


I have a php file in my server that I use to input data into my database and my streaming servers. This file is called connect.php and the hacker is basically created an automated script that repeatedly call the connect.php file from a botnet resulting in both apache and mysql dead. I use connect.php in the following way

http.open('get', "ajax/createchannel_1.php?channel=" + channelname + "&sitename=" + sitename + "&privateurl=" + privateurl + "&privateurlcheck=" + privateurlcheck);

How can i change the connect.php so that it only accept execution from my server/
Please your help is greatly appreciated.

I have an edit page but whenever I click edit the pathname of the original file is not in the file box so everytime I hit the save button , it will be considered as no file so my previous image or file will be overwritten by "nothing".

I have a php file that generates a string that I need to use in a .js (javascript)file. Being that php developers sometimes using javascript with php, Im hoping someone can help me with this, cause i dont know any javascript.
Code: [Select]
//This is the varible inside the .js file
var suggestionText = "I need to be able to include my string generated by the php file here...";

I want to include a php file after an succesfully login.
Let's suposed that I have a login form on index.php. If the login was ok I want to include a php file with some content instead of the login form.
Something like:
Code: [Select]
<?
if($_POST['ok']){
     require('content.php');
} else {
//login form
}
?>

It's ok to include in the code the name of the file that you have on server ? From security point of view.

Thanks

Hello, Im trying to pass a variable to a newly created page using GET.

$query = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT subtype FROM business WHERE type ='Restaurant' ORDER BY name");

while($ntx=mysql_fetch_row($query)) $nt[] = $ntx[0];
$i = -1;
foreach($nt as $value)
{$i++;
echo "<a href='" . str_replace(' ','_',$nt[$i]) . ".php?title=$title'>"  . $nt[$i] . "</a>" . "<br/>";
$FileName = str_replace(' ','_',$nt[$i]) . ".php";
$FileHandle = fopen($FileName, 'w') or die("cant open file");
$pageContents = file_get_contents("header.php");
fwrite($FileHandle,"$pageContents");}
fclose($FileHandle);
header.php

Code: [Select]
<head>
<?php $title = $_GET['Title']; ?>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>HEADER UPDATED!</p>
<p>TESTING - the heading below should read (title goes here in capital letters)</p>
<?php <h1>$title</h1> ?> //This is line 12
</body>
</html>

Im getting the error; 
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in D:\Hosting\3753557\html\1pw\mexican.php on line 12
I suspect that I have my syntax muddled in header.php?

Is there a better way to pass variables to a newly created page? (fopen).

Many thanks for any ideas.

I am using an inclue file on my layout.php page. 
I'd like to ignore the include file if the DB connection therein fails.
How should I do this?

Hi all,

I'm at a dead-end here.  I have a php file that I can query to return an array containing a bunch of data about a job listing. I include and query it by calling it like so within another file on my site. 

Quick Notes:
The original file is in a different directory on my site than the page it's being included in. I have tried returning the array at the end of the script. I can print_r the array on the page I'm including the script on (so the URL path is correct).
If I go to this URL directly and print_r on the array, I see the entire array as expected.  Also, if I include the file on page 2 like I did above with print_r on the array in the original file, I see the array printed out on page 2.

Code: [Select]
include 'http://www.example.com/php/job-details.php?job=jobname&city=thecity';
However, if I do not print_r on the array in the original file and just include it on page 2, I cannot do anything with it and the array variable isn't found.

Is this a case of variable scope?  I'm so frustrated...

Here is the code I have in my original file:

Code: [Select]
<?
include('functions.php');

$jobtitlematch = $_GET["job"];
$jobcitymatch = $_GET["city"];
//echo $jobtitlematch;
//echo $jobcitymatch;

$url = 'http://somesite.com/something';
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);

foreach($xml->job as $job) {
$jobtitle = makeURL((string)$job->title);
$jobcity = makeURL((string)$job->region);

if ($jobtitle == $jobtitlematch && $jobcity == $jobcitymatch) {
$jobdata[] = array(
Title => ((string)$job->title),
URL_Title => makeURL((string)$job->title),
Location => ((string)$job->region),
URL_Location => makeURL((string)$job->region),
Department => ((string)$job->department),
URL_Department => makeURL((string)$job->department),
Overview => ((string)$job->joboverview),
Responsibilities => ((string)$job->responsibilities),
Qualifications => ((string)$job->qualifications),
Keywords => ((string)$job->metakeywords)
);
}
return $jobdata;
//I have also tried return global $jobdata;
}
print_r($jobdata);
?>

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

Hello,

I have a simply query that will if a simple two different things:

Code: [Select]
$cssyn = mysql_query("SELECT `12` FROM `12345` WHERE `abc` = '$_SESSION[number]'");
$cssy = mysql_fetch_row($cssyn);
   
if($cssy[0] == "YES") {
  echo "Yes";
} else {
  echo "No";
}   
The YES or NO result is stipulated earlier on so thats not the problem. But basically before I added the if statement simply would have echoed a table with all the rows etc from another query.

However I would like to give the user a choice between echoeing the results into one table or a neater two.

I have separated the code for the table and the queries into two separate files but say if I use: file_get_contents then it just prints the HTML and doesnt actually populate it will the queried parts.

Nor if I use something like include() then it wont echo anything, which it wouldnt unless called so what I am asking is: Is there a way to get EVERYTHING from the file if the answer is YES or the other file if NO.

In my code

include_once "http://myserver.com/someFile.php" does not work but
include_once "/someFile.php" works

I NEED to be able to full URL. Anyone know what PHP setting I need to change to get this working for me?

Thanks
