PHP - Php Controlling A Batch File

I'm curious about the mechanics of the script execution here.

One page in my project sends out batch emails to all users who are registered. That part is simlple enough, but in order to do it, my page has to connect to a remote SMTP server and then submit all the recipients and messages. This process can take a little bit of time, usually 5 seconds or so. If the user hits the stop button or navigates away while my script is still executing, will it mess up the emails that are being sent?

If so, what other way should I restructure my script to make it more robust? The first thing that comes to my mind is adding them to some sort of queue in the database and then have a separate script that checks periodically for messages that need to be sent and then send them. The only way to do this, though, would be to make a script designed to be called by cron, and that somewhat complicated the installation of my script which I'd like to avoid.

I have a PHP app that I wrote that requires a new IP address each time that it is run. Currently I use Tor on my desktop and the Vidalia app to change the Tor identity each time I run the script but I want to automate this. Can anyone help with switching Tor identities with PHP? Essentially after my script runs I need to call a function that switches to a new Tor identity.

I have the following code but it doesn't seem to work, and I am not sure why. I am running this from XAMPP on OSX, Tor is running locally (client not server)... in my Tor settings I have 127.0.0.1 and port 9051, set to "no password"...

Code: [Select]
<?php
function tor_new_identity($tor_ip='127.0.0.1', $control_port='9051', $auth_code='') {
$fp = fsockopen($tor_ip, $control_port, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
return false; //can't connect to the control port
}

fputs($fp, "AUTHENTICATE $auth_code\r\n");
$response = fread($fp, 1024);

list($code, $text) = explode(' ', $response, 2);
if ($code != '250') {
return false; //authentication failed
}

//send the request to for new identity
fputs($fp, "signal NEWNYM\r\n");
$response = fread($fp, 1024);
list($code, $text) = explode(' ', $response, 2);
if ($code != '250') {
return false; //signal failed
}

fclose($fp);
return true;
}

tor_new_identity();
?>

Hello PHPFreaks,


I'm sorry about the vague topic title, but allow me to explain:


I got a PHP form with some fields, and it sends the input data to me, and a copy to the person that submits it.

Only the receiver of the email sees the email it came from as: example.com@webhost-mailserver.com, rather than just "example.com" or "info@example.com". Is there a way to control this, so people dont see the root host?

Coding:
// send email
$headers = "From: \"$naam\" <$email>\n";
$subject = "Contactformulier Kartalin";
$from    = "Kartalin.nl";
$message = " blabla their input etc. ";

mail ("$youremail", $subject, $message, "From: $from\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");

If you need more of the code let me know, but as far as I can tell this seems to be the part where it can be changed (coming from a PHP-dummy )


Thanks in advance!

This may sound like an odd thought, but us beginners come up with weird ideas sometimes.

I'm trying to solve a "three letters or less" search. Basically if the user enters 4 words or more, my script does a fulltext search. If they do 3 letters or less, it does a basic search. But how can I write the script so that it only searches for those matching letters that have either a space in front or at the end... or that start with the three letters searched.

so, if they type in "elm"

I want to get "chinese elm"
I want to get "Elmendorf's onion"
I don't want to get "engelman's spruce"...

or at the very least have results with no space on either side be at the end of the results?

right now, I'm just doing a  basic search and a basic search that concatenates two fields:
Code: [Select]
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM plantae WHERE common_name_english LIKE '%$item%'");
Code: [Select]
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM plantae WHERE CONCAT(taxonomic_genus,' ',scientific_name) LIKE '%$item%'");

Hi. how can I control a progress meter/bar to display errors when it failed to reach 100% or on getting to a point?

thanks

how to get the name of the file including a file from the included file,

This one has me mixed up a bit.. I am trying to record site activity information from a common.php file using a user object. But since the file is included into different php files based on different situations I need a dynamic way of finding the file name that is including it. I could be over complicating things but right now this seems like the best solution other wise I'll have to rewrite the code on every page i write. Is there a function for doing this? Or if someone gets what I'm trying to do if they could point me to the direction of some more information on it.

Thanks.

Hiya,

Firstly, I'm a complete novice, apologies! But I have got my upload.php working which is nice. I will post the code below.

However, I would now like to restrict the file size and file type to only word documents.

I currently have a restriction of 200KB but it's not working - no idea why as I've looked at other similar codes and they look the same.

Also, just to complicate things - can I stop files overwriting each other when uploaded? At the moment, if 2 people upload files with the same name one will overwrite the other.

Is this too many questions in 1?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Code below:

Code: [Select]
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="careers.php" method="POST">
        Please choose a file: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

<?php 
 $target = "upload/"; 
 $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 
 $ok=1; 
 
 //This is our size condition 
 if ($uploaded_size > 200) 
 { 
 echo "Your file is too large.<br>"; 
 $ok=0; 
 } 
 
 //This is our limit file type condition 
 if ($uploaded_type =="text/php") 
 { 
 echo "No PHP files<br>"; 
 $ok=0; 
 } 
 
 //Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error 
 if ($ok==0) 
 { 
 Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded"; 
 } 
 
 //If everything is ok we try to upload it 
 else 
 { 
 if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
 { 
 echo "Your file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded."; 
 } 
 else 
 { 
 echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
 } 
 } 
 ?>

I'm using an Upload Script, and I've been working on trying to style the 'Choose File Button' (input file button)

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to this, not my full time job, but just something I thought I'd give a shot...

I have a database, in postgres, in which I make my query and I go fetch all the info I need.
What I need to do next is the tricky part for me.

For each line of results received, I have to output to a text file (.txt) but I have to respect a format that was given to me from the person requesting the info.

Example:
Character 1 must be G or N.
Character 2 to to 11 will be a result from my database search, which is a 10 digit string.
Character 12 to 14 must be spaces.

Another rule is:
start at character 78: input a value from my database search but it must not exceed 20 characters and if it is less then 20 character, fill the remaining with spaces.


If anyways has a code I can copy and work off of I would really appreciate it....thanks!

In this multi file upload form, choose three images, click submit and preview the images on the preview page. If the user wishes to delete or replace an image, click edit and the form will go back to the previous page. Select the replace radio button for example on one of the three images and select a new image from the file input prompt and click submit. The form will go to the preview page again to display the images. During this process the image names are being input into a table and the images are being moved to a directory.

The table is

  `id`  AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `image0`
  `image1`
  `image2`
  `status`

So input name='image[image0]' can be directed to table `image0` and so on.

The code for keep and delete work fine, but how do I replace an image?
I have two foreach blocks. The first one deletes the image file from the directory and deletes the image name from the table, but the second foreach dose not move the new image file into the directory.
Thanks.

<input type='radio' name='image[image0]' value='keep' checked='checked'/>
<input type='radio' name='image[image0]' value='delete' />
<input type='radio' name='image[image0]' value='replace' />
<input type="file" name="image[]" />

<input type='radio' name='image[image1]' value='keep' checked='checked'/>
<input type='radio' name='image[image1]' value='delete' />
<input type='radio' name='image[image1]' value='replace' />
<input type="file" name="image[]" />

<input type='radio' name='image[image2]' value='keep' checked='checked'/>
<input type='radio' name='image[image2]' value='delete' />
<input type='radio' name='image[image2]' value='replace' />
<input type="file" name="image[]" />

<?php
if (isset($_POST['status'])) {

Hello, all: been trying to convert this little single-file upload to multiple by naming each file form-field as "userfile[]" as it's supposed to automatically treat them as an array.. but no luck!  Can you guide me as to what am I doing wrong??
appreciate the help!


Code: [Select]
<?php

if (!isset($_REQUEST["seenform"])) {
?>
   <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="#" method="post">

   Upload file: <input name="userfile[]" type="file" id="userfile[]">
   <input type="submit" value="Upload">
   <input type="hidden" name="seenform">
   </form>
<?php
} 
else 
{ // upload begins
$userfiles = array($_FILES['userfile']);
foreach ($userfiles as $userfile)
{ // foreach begins
   $uploaded_dir = "uploads/";
   $userfile = $_FILES['userfile']["name"];
   $path = $uploaded_dir . $userfile;
   if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']["tmp_name"], $path)) 
     {
   print "$userfile file moved";
   // do something with the file here
    } else

So, I'm learning how to upload pictures into a system from my awesome PHP book. I've looked and looked through the script but I can't figure out whats wrong with it.

Goal:
The script is meant to save a full version of the image in the images folder and a thumbnail in the thumbnail folder.
Bug:
The full image does not appear in any folder, and the thumbnail is created but its put in the images folder.

I've checked the GD library, and everything is supported.

I am using apache web server on linux. I am using PHP for web designing. On web server, i want to show the configuration data by reading the ini file. I am creating this ini file from one php code itself. If this php code i run through linux terminal, the file is created with file and group owner as root.(i am having sudo rights on machine) Then if i try to read the ini file from my apache web server, it gives warning as failed to open stream: permission denied. I have tried changing the owner, and permissions to 777 of the file. Still it is not readable. On the other hand, if i run the php code of ini file creation through web server, ini file is created with file and group owner as apche. and web server is able to read/ write the file. But i want to create that file from root or some other user and later read/written by apache. How to give this access permission?

I havent included the whole title as it wouldnt let me but I was wondering if someone could help me on this?

I know this is possible as torrentflux caters for this but unsure of where to start.

I dont want to allow file or directory uploads or creation in my /etc/php.ini file (this is turned off).

Yet then torrentflux allows me to link a torrent from an external source (using legal downloads of course  ) but then it uploads it on my server and creates folders on a per user basis.

How is this possible can someone give me some pointers please?

I look forward to any replies,
Jeremy.
