PHP - Open File Found With 'find' Command In Linux

I am a bit rusty with mySQL and I tried to borrow some other query code and modify it into an update command...apparently I am trying to use an invalid property in my error checking.

Basically I just want to check and see if there were NO rows updated so I can let the user no that nothing was changed.  There are probably easier ways to do this? 

The page where I set the variable values is based on a form post.  I am not sure how to write my validation tests.  Right now it is running the update successfully but it is reporting back an error based on hitting the "else if" test where I am trying to see if no rows were updated. 

The error message is: Quote

Encountered error: 8 in /home/omgma/public_html/member_community/mbr_profiles/mbr_profile_updt_post.php, line 85: Trying to get property of non-object
No fields were updated!

Error: 0


Code: [Select]
//create a SQL statement
$updt_cmd = "UPDATE users t1, directory t2 "
."SET t1.email = '$email', "
."t2.first_name='$first_name', "
."t2.last_name='$last_name', "
."t2.suffix='$suffix', "
."t2.website_url='$website_url' "
."WHERE t1.username ='$username' AND t2.directory_id = t1.directory_id";

$conn = db_connect();

$result = $conn->query($updt_cmd);
if (!$result)
{//could not execute query
  throw new Exception('<h2>Could not execute member profile update!</h2><p>Error: '
.mysqli_errno($conn)
.mysqli_error($conn)
.'</p>' );
}
else if ($result->num_rows==0)
{// no rows so nothing was updated. 
  throw new Exception('<h2>No fields were updated! </h2><p>Error: '
.mysqli_errno($conn)
.mysqli_error($conn)
.'</p>' );
}
else
{
  $mbr_profile = $result->fetch_object();
  print_r($mbr_profile);
  return $mbr_profile;
}



Am I using the right functions here to do this and if so where can I find the class properties to use to test if nothing was updated?

Thanks

I want to do something like the following:

exec('open /Applications/Safari.app');



I can run exec on other commands like:


$output = exec('ls -ll);
echo $output;


And I can run the open command via Terminal, but I can't seem to run the open command via a PHP page using exec().

I've tried the permissions of the .app file at 777 and the open binary at 777.

Any suggestions?

I am new to Php and the linux environment.  I have written a php program which sames a file to folder using xampp in Windows but I am having a problem with the pathway using my Ubuntu server and LAMP.  My code I used in Windows was:

$fileName = "guessbook.txt";
$file = fopen ($fileName, "ab");
if(!$file)
{
    echo "ERROR! did not create the file! Exiting.<br />;
    exit();
}

This file was saved correctly using xampp into the htdoc folder and worked fine when I called it in my browser.  I tried to substitute a Linux pathway ie: /var/www/assignment2/guessbook.txt, where guessbook is in the code but still nothing.  Can someone explain how to write the correct pathway to save this file?

Thank you

help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello!
I am executing an external command from a PHP script, using the exec function. Since this program can take more than 1-2 minutes to run, I thought I should use a "Loading page...please wait". What I need is to be able to get the process id from the external program that is being run and, when this finishes, I'll start outputting the results.

Is there a way to do this?

Hello,

I'm trying to have my index.php to open/run another test.php file.
I'm having my own server that I play with, that I run Ubuntu on.

So the index.php are located at /var/www/ directory, but I want to run a file that are located at /testing/test.php

The final test.php is file for showing pictures, and I don't want to out all the pictures under the /var/www/ location.  It's alot  of photos.
I don't know much about php but I have been trying this:

<?php
header("Location: /var/www/testing/test.php");
    //These below are desperat old tries.
//header("Location: ./testing/test.php");
//header("Location: ../testing/test.php");
//$handle = fopen("/privat/Web_pictures/test.php", "r");
//"/testing/test.php"
// header("Location: ./test.php");   //This one actually works, but I'm still in the wrong folder (/var/www/)
echo "test "; // NN4 requires that we output something...
exit();
?>

Thankful for help!   

Hey there,

Thanks for taking the time to read my thread, well basically I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I've got a string in PHP containing the contents of a file I would like to be created and I have a method of sending the command to the remote server like so:


$Connection->exec('ps aux'); 


Now my issue is I am unaware of any file editors via command like that don't have some sort of user prompt I've scoured Google for hours searching for the best possible method for this but all the file editors aren't simply processed by one line commands and edited in that same command e.g

Create File -> Write File -> Close File

Is there no possible means of doing that via one line command?.

Here is my string I wish to be written to the file.



$RestartFile = "#!/bin/bash
export SERVER_PATH=/home/client".$Server['server_owner']."/".$Server['server_id']."
cd $SERVER_PATH
while [ true ]; do
./server".$Server['server_id']." &
done");


Thank you for your time.

I apologize, I thought I was posting in php. I assume you will move it.

I'm trying to compare 2 files, each with data separated by ::. I'm trying to make a comparison that if the data to the left of the separator from one file is not found in the same column of the other file, then it is copied to an array.
For example:
file1.txt
abc::def
ggg::hhh
mmm::ppp

file2.txt
abc::def
zzz::aaa
bbb::ccc

So...
ggg::hhh
mmm::ppp
is copied from file1.txt because ggg and mmm was not found on the same side in file2.txt

...but I'm not getting any error message with this. The operation just hangs.
Code: [Select]
<?php
$dic1 = file('file1.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES); 
$dic2 = file('file2.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES); 
$titleText = array(); // Storing results into this array.
    
foreach ($dic1 as $dic1line){
    list($dic1field1, $dic1field2) = explode('::', $dic1line);
        foreach ($dic2 as $dic2line){
            list($dic2field1, $dic2field2) = explode('::', $dic2line);
            if ($dic1field1 != $dic2field1) { // Found a non match in DB.
                array_push($titleText, "$dic1field1 :: $dic1field2\n"); // Store all finds in array.  
            }
        }
}

// Finish outputting anything left over.
if (empty($titleText)) { // $value was not found -- array is empty.
    echo 'All matched, or something else.';
} else {
    $arrayOut = implode("", $titleText); // output the results found in the search.
    echo $arrayOut;
}

unset($value);
?>

Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.

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
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 465,8G 0 disk

└─sda9 8:9 0 389,6G 0 part /home

and the following fdisk -l

linux-c5sz:/home/martin # fdisk -l

linux-c5sz:/home/martin #




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

 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

How can i find out parent (including) file of included file?
Lets imagine that we want to for example auto_prepend file to each file on our server that would write out the name of file  its being executed. I know, i can use PHP_SELF but what if i want to write name of file which is already included?

I have a web page and i want on it show its name even if it was included, but not the included page itself is showing name but auto_prepend file to each php file, its duty of this auto_prepend_file to write it out i dont want myself to echo it on each page? do you feel me?

I have short urls on the same page that this javascript code is on. the problem is that the code now can't find the poll.php. I have tried the full path and full url to the poll.php, but the code still outputs file not found. how to get this code working?

$.post('poll.php', $(this).serialize(), function(data, status){

Say I have...

Code: [Select]
<?
echo("do something");
include("include_file.php");
echo("do something else");
?>

include_file.php
Code: [Select]
<?
$a_$string = "a string";
echo($a_string);
?>

I have put an error in the include_file.php  an extra $ in the variable name.

The first script would kick up an error that there is a problem with file   include_file.php  as line 3 or what ever the line may be.

How can I have it so I can choose what the error message is, say a cryptic code and the line number without having the file names show as this is showing up my hidden includes folder and the file name which means that someone may try to visit this page alone and this can cause security issues.

Adding in extra lines to every file to see if it is being use correctly a bit like sessions is not an option although I have looked at it as I have houndreds of files to alter in this case.


I have just tried this instead of the top script but I does not show the secret code on error
Code: [Select]
<?
echo("top");
@include("dummy.php") or die("secreterrorcode123");
echo("bottom");
?>
