PHP - How Does This Code Work?

This one requires lots of up front information:

I have a page, for this example that I will call page.php. It takes get parameters, and for this example I'll call the parameter "step". So I have a URL like this: page.php?step=1 This page has a form with an action of page.php?step=1. The code on the page validates the posting information. If the information is bad, it returns the user to page.php?step=1; if it is good, it takes the user to page.php?step=2 via header( "location:page.php?step=2" ). So redirection is done by relative path, not full URLs.
This all works as expected.

Now what I've done is set .htaccess to be HTTPS for this page, via this code:

# Turn SSL on for payments
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} \/page\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

This works (initially). However, once you try to post the form, it just redirects back to the step=1 version of the page. I really don't know how or why that would be.

I'm not sure how else I can explain this or what other information you may have. But it's frustrating to not get a page working in HTTPS that works in HTTP. Very odd. Any suggestions? (I don't even really know the best location to figure out when/why it's redirecting back to the original page.)

I have the following code is a included file on my main page

Code: [Select]

class usersOnline {

var $timeout = 600;
var $count = 0;
var $error;
var $i = 0;

function usersOnline () {
$this->timestamp = time();
$this->ip = $this->ipCheck();
$this->new_user();
$this->delete_user();
$this->count_users();
$this->browser = $this->useragentbrowser();
$this->os = $this->useragentos();
}


// start user
function useragentbrowser(){

$agent = getenv('HTTP_USER_AGENT');
$browserArray = array(
        'Windows Mobile' => 'IEMobile',
'Android Mobile' => 'Android',
'iPhone Mobile' => 'iPhone',
'Firefox' => 'Firefox',
        'Google Chrome' => 'Chrome',
        'Internet Explorer' => 'MSIE',
        'Opera' => 'Opera',
        'Safari' => 'Safari'
);
foreach ($browserArray as $k => $v) {

    if (preg_match("/$v/", $agent)) {
         break;
    } else {
$k = "Browser Unknown";
    }
}
$browser = $k;
return $browser;

}

function useragentos(){
$agent = getenv('HTTP_USER_AGENT');
$osArray = array(
        'Windows 98' => '(Win98)|(Windows 98)',
        'Windows 2000' => '(Windows 2000)|(Windows NT 5.0)',
'Windows ME' => 'Windows ME',
        'Windows XP' => '(Windows XP)|(Windows NT 5.1)',
        'Windows Vista' => 'Windows NT 6.0',
        'Windows 7' => '(Windows NT 6.1)|(Windows NT 7.0)',
        'Windows NT 4.0' => '(WinNT)|(Windows NT 4.0)|(WinNT4.0)|(Windows NT)',
'Linux' => '(X11)|(Linux)',
'Mac OS' => '(Mac_PowerPC)|(Macintosh)|(Mac OS)'
);
foreach ($osArray as $k => $v) {

    if (preg_match("/$v/", $agent)) {
         break;
    } else {
$k = "Unknown OS";
    }
}
$os = $k;

return $os;

}



// end user


function ipCheck() {

if (getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP')) {
$ip = getenv('HTTP_CLIENT_IP');
}
elseif (getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) {
$ip = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR');
}
elseif (getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED')) {
$ip = getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED');
}
elseif (getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR')) {
$ip = getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR');
}
elseif (getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED')) {
$ip = getenv('HTTP_FORWARDED');
}
else {
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
}
return $ip;
}

function new_user() {
$insert = mysql_query ("INSERT INTO ******(timestamp, ip, browser, os) VALUES ('$this->timestamp', '$this->ip', '$this->browser', '$this->os')");
if (!$insert) {
$this->error[$this->i] = "Unable to record new visitor\r\n";
$this->i ++;
}
}

function delete_user() {
$delete = mysql_query ("DELETE FROM ***** WHERE timestamp < ($this->timestamp - $this->timeout)");
if (!$delete) {
$this->error[$this->i] = "Unable to delete visitors";
$this->i ++;
}
}

function count_users() {
if (count($this->error) == 0) {
$count = mysql_num_rows ( mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT ip FROM *******"));
return $count;
}
}

}


The problem I have is that $browser and $os are not being inserted into the db, but everything else is.

Can anyone help?

Thanks James

Hi,

I'm creating a chat-box application and I'm trying to add IP bans, where the php code checks if the user is banned or not and then insert the chat, but even if the IP address is banned it will still insert the chat.


Code: [Select]
$ipsql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM bans WHERE ip='$user_ip'" or die (mysql_error()));
$bancheck = mysql_num_rows($ipsql);
if($bancheck <= 0){
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO chats (user_ip, user_name, chat_body, date_time)
        VALUES('$user_ip','$user_name','$chat_body',now())") 
        or die (mysql_error());
}

 
Thanks,

I have this code that changes an image on the hour, of a random hour and stays changed for 2 minutes, regardless of refreshes etc etc, and it has to be the exact same hour and 2 minutes for everyone. I know at the minute it is going to change at 4pm, it is only for testing purposes, I am doind the random time bit later.

<?php
$minute = date(i);
$hour = 16;
if ($hour == date(H) && $minute < 3)
  $buttonimage = "buttonon.png";
else
  $buttonimage = "buttonoff.png";
?>
<table width="200" border="1">
  <tr>
    <td><img src="<?php echo($buttonimage); ?>" /></td>
  </tr>
</table>

Code: [Select]
<?php
require "global.php";

if ($_POST)
{
$name = $_POST['name'];
$data = sprintf("INSERT INTO forums VALUES (DEFAULT,'$name')");
mysql_query($data);
$fid = mysql_insert_id();
header( 'Location: viewforum.php?fid='.$fid);
exit;
}

echo '
<form action="" method="POST">
<table>
<tr><td>Forum Name: </td><td><input name="name" /></td></tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" value=" Add Forum " />
</form>';
?>
This added forums whenever I made one to my MySQL database in the table "forums"
For whatever reason, whenever I make a forum, it makes it end in ".php?fid=0" and does not create the forum on the database.

Any ideas?  Thanks!
