Hello,

I am attempting to get the base URL of the directory that the CMS was installed, not the main directory. Here's what I mean:

For example, let's say my domain is http://www.example.com but I install my CMS under http://www.example.com/test/cms and on another occasion I install it under http://www.example.com/cms, and on another occasion http://www.example.com/my/new/cms/

I would like my base url for the http://www.example.com/cms installation, to be "http://www.example.com/cms" and my base url for the http://www.example.com/test/cms installation to be "http://www.example.com/test/cms" and so on, without me having to manually change anything.

How do I go about obtaining the directory that corresponds to that particular installation? I know it is possible because Joomla does it automatically.

I have already tried numerous combinations using $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], and so on, no luck.

Im looking to use this library but if i use this sample:
<?php
// test_cairo.php
$s = new CairoImageSurface(CairoFormat::ARGB32, 400, 400);
$c = new CairoContext($s);
$c->fill();
$c->setSourceRGB(1, 0, 0);
$c->setLineWidth(50);
$c->arc(200, 200, 100, 0, 2 * M_PI);
$c->stroke();
$c->setSourceRGB(0, 0, 0.6);
$c->rectangle(0, 160, 400, 75);
$c->fill();

$s->writeToPng(dirname(__FILE__)  . '/test.png');


It dont works, seems undefined, and checking for the url that php manuals tells to visit i dont work:

http://perisama.net/cairo/

How i can install and test it? I use php 6.

Hi folks,   Please go easy on me - total newbie. I've read all sorts of stuff on the web about how to get up and running with PHP but even the basic instructions are too complicated for me!   Here's what I want to do:   I want to use PHP to generate dynamic web pages linked to a Microsoft Access 2007 database as a test on my laptop (no need to publish to the actual Internet). I am running Windows 7 Professional SP1.   I know I need to install PHP and a web server of sorts. I tried to get IIS7 working but was foxed by the requirement to use an admin account (I don't have the admin password and didn't know how to run things as admin from my own account).   I basically need a step-by-step guide that assumes I know nothing.   Sorry if this is a big ask,   Matt

Hi All! I'm totally new to website design and do not know much about it. I installed a MYUPB forum on my website, but I got an error concerning timezone in the file upb.initialize.php on line 124. It was to Europe/London so I changed it to Americe/Montreal. (I'm in GMT-5)

After this modification, I get this error when trying to access my forum.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /www/110mb.com/m/k/7/4/j/e/e/p/mk74jeep/htdocs/forum/includes/upb.initialize.php on line 21

I tried to correct for any mistake but could not find any since I do not know much. I need your help please. Here is the file section. BTW, Is line 1 <?php ???

Code: [Select]
<?php
function RemoveXSS($val) {
$before_val = $val;

// remove all non-printable characters. CR(0a) and LF(0b) and TAB(9) are allowed
// this prevents some character re-spacing such as <javaA533;script>
// note that you have to handle splits with n, r, and t later since they *are* allowed in some inputs
//echo "COMMA COUNT: ".substr_count($val,'x2C')."<br>";
$val = preg_replace('/([x00-x08x0b-x0cx0e-x19])/', '', $val);
// straight replacements, the user should never need these since they're normal characters
// this prevents like <IMG SRC=@avascript:alert('XSS')>
$search = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
$search .= 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
$search .= '1234567890!@#$%^&*()';
$search .= '~`";:?+/={}[]-_|'';
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($search); $i++) {
// ;? matches the ;, which is optional
// 0{0,7} matches any padded zeros, which are optional and go up to 8 chars

// @ @ search for the hex values
$val = preg_replace('/(&#38;#[xX]0{0,8}'.dechex(ord($search[$i])).';?)/i', $search[$i], $val); // with a ;
// @ @ 0{0,7} matches '0' zero to seven times
$val = preg_replace('/(&#65533;{0,8}'.ord($search[$i]).';?)/', $search[$i], $val); // with a ;
}

// now the only remaining whitespace attacks are t, n, and r
Etc etc etc...

Please, let me know what is wrong!

I have no problem starting all over again and reinstalling it, if someone feel like helping me step by step with this. This would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

For reasons unknown to me I installed this version of MSSQL 2008 R2 yesterday and it came with an attached database for which I was able to add my own database to.  I had to uninstall and reinstall this version because I was having some permissions conflicts....now when I reinstalled the 2008 R2, there is no database attached.  There is no preinstalled db engine.  I do not know how to create this or drop my db into the object explorer because there is no db attached.  I hope this makes sense.      What I am trying to do is set up a test server on my home computer. I saved the actual db from a work computer onto a thumbdrive.  Now, I want to attach it to my home server.  That option is not there to connect now.  Thank you for any help.   

Dear forum wrestlers:            Finally found a good mix of MySQL 5.1.65, win8.1, Apache 2.4.9 ssl-win32,0.9.8-VC9 (from Apachelounge), and php-win32-VC9-x86 (thread safe!).  Openssl seems to be working also.  But somehow lost the headers and trailers on the menus!  Does anyone know what may be wrong?   Thanks always, Yshua

Say I have an installation file, and they type in all their database information & click submit. How would I get that information to open up a file called config.php, and write to the $db_host, $db_pass, $db_user, and $db variables only?

Is this possible? Thanks!

 linux-file-structu what needs to be saved while moving the installation   well this is one of the best place to ask  joomla-related question.

today i have no question regarding joomla.

today i want to ask a linux-question: i am preparing a upgrade from opensuse 13.1 to 13.2

and i want to do a fresh installation.

first of all - as a preliminary task i will do a saving of all the files - that are in the home of the current installation

what else shoud i safe - more than the /home/my_name

should i save anyting else ...

http://tldp.org/LDP/...sect_03_01.html

Table 3-2. Subdirectories of the root directory
Directory    Content
/bin    Common programs, shared by the system, the system administrator and the users.
/boot    The startup files and the kernel, vmlinuz. In some recent distributions also grub data. Grub is the GRand Unified Boot loader and is an attempt to get rid of the many different boot-loaders we know today.
/dev    Contains references to all the CPU peripheral hardware, which are represented as files with special properties.
/etc    Most important system configuration files are in /etc, this directory contains data similar to those in the Control Panel in Windows
/home    Home directories of the common users.
/initrd    (on some distributions) Information for booting. Do not remove!
/lib    Library files, includes files for all kinds of programs needed by the system and the users.
/lost+found    Every partition has a lost+found in its upper directory. Files that were saved during failures are here.
/misc    For miscellaneous purposes.
/mnt    Standard mount point for external file systems, e.g. a CD-ROM or a digital camera.
/net    Standard mount point for entire remote file systems
/opt    Typically contains extra and third party software.
/proc    A virtual file system containing information about system resources. More information about the meaning of the files in proc is obtained by entering the command man proc in a terminal window. The file proc.txt discusses the virtual file system in detail.
/root    The administrative user's home directory. Mind the difference between /, the root directory and /root, the home directory of the root user.
/sbin    Programs for use by the system and the system administrator.
/tmp    Temporary space for use by the system, cleaned upon reboot, so don't use this for saving any work!
/usr    Programs, libraries, documentation etc. for all user-related programs.
/var    Storage for all variable files and temporary files created by users, such as log files, the mail queue, the print spooler area, space for temporary storage of files downloaded from the Internet, or to keep an image of a CD before burning it.

well - reagarding the thunderbird and other things more.
note:  i have thunderbird and enigmail up and running.

so i need to save
a. the passwords
b. the mails.


question: is there a need to save more than the home/my_name ?!

love to hear from you

greetings

hello and good day dear Linux-experts,

i want to install a new opensuse linux on a notebook. i want to upgrade is the following:

this one: Akoya P 6512 15" OpenSuse 13.1: AMD Athlon X2 P320, 2,10 GHz, 4 GB 320 GB hdd-drive

what is wanted:
i want to do a total fresh installation
i want to have not tooo much partitions!
i only want to run opensuse 13.2
i want to have some kind of native linux partitions - such as ext 4 - #


what do you suggest - should go with the new default BTRFS file system?!?

well to begin with the beginning: i applied the following commands

a. lsblk

b. fdisk -l


see the results,,,, ;

linux-c5sz:/home/martin # lsblk

subsequently the questions; which partition logic should i choose.

what is wanted: i want to have not tooo much partitions!
i only want to run opensuse 13.2

note: i want to erase all the existing partition logic /(that is currently existing)
i do this with Gparted.

which partitions should i take?
which file system ?


i am curious to get to know your ideas

class curl2{

    private $curl_init; 
    private $CURLOPT_URL;

    public function connect(){ 
       $this->curl_init = curl_init(); 
    }

    public function debug(){
 
       curl_setopt($this->curl_init, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, TRUE);
       $fp = fopen("curl2.txt", "w"); 
       curl_setopt($this->curl_init, CURLOPT_STDERR, $fp); 
       curl_setopt($this->curl_init, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

    }

    public function setUrl($url = null){
       $this->CURLOPT_URL = $url;
       curl_setopt($this->curl_init, CURLOPT_URL, $this->CURLOPT_URL);
    }

    public function execute(){

       $out = curl_exec($this->curl_init);
       curl_close($this->curl_init);

       return $out;
    }
}

$curl2 = new curl2;
$curl2->connect();
$curl2->setUrl("http://www.linuxformat.co.uk");
$curl2->debug();
echo $curl2->execute();



It display a blank page like attachment result1.jpg, but if I move the
$fp = fopen("curl2.txt", "w"); 
curl_setopt($this->curl_init, CURLOPT_STDERR, $fp); 
curl_setopt($this->curl_init, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
from function debug() and join it with function execute()
like this:
  public function execute(){
       $fp = fopen("curl2.txt", "w"); 
       curl_setopt($this->curl_init, CURLOPT_STDERR, $fp); 
       curl_setopt($this->curl_init, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

       $out = curl_exec($this->curl_init);
       curl_close($this->curl_init);

       return $out;
    }

it return me Linuxformat content ( expected result ) like result2.jpg

below is the working code :
class curl2{

    private $curl_init; 
    private $CURLOPT_URL;

    public function connect(){ 
       $this->curl_init = curl_init(); 
    }

    public function debug(){
 
       curl_setopt($this->curl_init, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, TRUE);
      

    }

    public function setUrl($url = null){
       $this->CURLOPT_URL = $url;
       curl_setopt($this->curl_init, CURLOPT_URL, $this->CURLOPT_URL);
    }

    public function execute(){
       $fp = fopen("curl2.txt", "w"); 
       curl_setopt($this->curl_init, CURLOPT_STDERR, $fp); 
       curl_setopt($this->curl_init, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

       $out = curl_exec($this->curl_init);
       curl_close($this->curl_init);

       return $out;
    }
}

$curl2 = new curl2;
$curl2->connect();
$curl2->setUrl("http://www.linuxformat.co.uk");
$curl2->debug();
echo $curl2->execute();

 
Why I couldn't split "CURLOPT_STDERR, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER" with "curl_exec"
 

the image in my comments box wont show up it gives me an error

Code: [Select]
Notice: Undefined index: avatar in /home/ecabrera/public_html/profile.php on line 277
and i dont whats wrong with it

Code: [Select]
// display comments
$perpage = 10;
$start=0;
if(@$_GET['s'])
$start = $_GET['s'];


$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM profile_comments WHERE profile_id='$getid' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $start, $perpage");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
if ($numrows > 0){

$next = $start + $perpage;
$prev = $start - $perpage;

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){
$user_id = $row['user_id'];
$user_name = $row['user_name'];
$comment = nl2br($row['comment']);
$date = $row['date'];
                $avatar = $row['avatar'];

echo "<img src='avatars/$avatar'></img><a href='$site/profile?id=$getid'></a>

<b> on $date</b><br />";
echo "<div style='margin-left: 10px;'>$comment</div><hr>";

}
}
else
echo "This user has no profile comments.<br />";
// end diplay comment area

Hi

I have plans in developing a connect function for remote login to my web side. I can't find any useful on Google.

Some idees on how to code a API connect button? Something similiar to Facebook connect, Twitter connect etc. BUT this should not rely on facebook api. I'm going to make my own stand alone api.

I know I need to use REST in backend, but I'm missing the knowledge to know how to send / recive the login data, and how to know when a user are online or not.

I'm greatfull for any help. Also links.

And also tips on how to make a developer plattform for apps, much like the way Facebook have it.
