PHP - Help Understanding Cookies, Domains, And Paths
First of all, does anyone know of some good documentation to better understand cookies? I've gone through the PHP manual, and can find how to use PHP to work with cookies, but not how cookies really work.
In particular, it is my understanding that if the domain is .mydomain.com, then mydomain.com, www.mydomain.com, or whatEver.mydomain.com, cookies could be set for each, and available for each, right?
If path was /, cookies will be sent for mydomain.com, mydomain.com/bla, and mydomain.com/bla/bla. If path was /bla, cookies will be not be sent for mydomain.com, but will be sent for mydomain.com and mydomain.com/bla/bla.
Also, what would be the impact if Apache rewrote bla.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/bla?
Please feel free to provide any other insight on this topic.
Thank you
Similar Tutorialshi guys i need a script i can use on a website that redirect all domains to a specific URL+domain
so here is the goal to achieve:
i want to redirect DOMAIN1.com DOMAIN2.org DOMAIN3.com .... to my main domain MyredirectDomainurl.com and on MyredirectDomainurl.com i need to run a script that will FORWARD DOMAIN1.com ===> https://www.afternic.com/domain/DOMAIN1.COM DOMAIN2.ORG ===> https://www.afternic.com/domain/DOMAIN2.ORG DOMAIN3.com ===> https://www.afternic.com/domain/DOMAIN3.com
thanks for your help Hal
Edited January 1 by kahymo typo This could be a silly question and it may not be very relevant here, forgive me if that is the case. When you have a domain like http://example.com and you then have a sub domain like http://something.example.com how is that achieved? Is it to do with the way the site is coded or structured? Hey All, What I am trying to do is link a whole bunch of our sites together to be seamless when users are on them, even though they are actually on different servers. For example, we have portal.ourdomain.com which runs our billing software, www.ourdomain.com which is our regular website, cp.ourdomain.com which is our control panel and mail.ourdomain.com which is our webmail login. We have a common header, which needs the session variables and such from the portal site. So we created a separate header file (on the portal site) that could be used by the other sites to read in. Now the separate file works by going to it directly portal.ourdomain.com/commonheader.php, however when included on the external pages, it doesn't get the number of items in the cart or the logged in state. I assume that this probably has to do with the sessions, but my question is, is there a way to process the file before it is included. I was hoping that it could read the file output, rather than generate it within the external site. Let me know if any one of you know of any ways to do what I am trying. If I am confusing you, just let me know what needs clarification. Thanks. Hello all, it's been a while! Good to be back. I am having trouble with a script I'm trying to modify to seach for domains with specific extensions. Now, I have never done any domain checking before and I'm a little bewildered. The script uses an array and checks the input against each extension using the array. Each line looks similar to: Code: [Select] '.com' => array('whois.crsnic.net','No match for'), What does the whois.crsnic.net mean? I assume it's a register/database of domains? Hello Everyone! I'm new to the forum and new to PHP. I'm curious about the limitations of PHP. I'm working a project that I'm not even sure is possible in PHP. The project is simple: I need a page that can track business reviews on external sites and report that activity to a database. Below is a simple mockup of the html. Code: [Select] <html> <head> <title>Boomerang Project</title> </head> <body> <h1>Like Our Work?</h1> <h2>Help Spread The Word.</h2> <p>Click on the links below to start writing a review about the service that we have provided you.</p> <h3>Complete 5 reviews recieve a gift certificate.</h3> <ul> <li><a href="" target="_blank">Yahoo</a></a></li> <li><a href="" target="_blank">Google</a></li> <li><a href="" target="_blank">Yelp</a></li> <li><a href="" target="_blank">Manta</a></li> <p>You have completed <!--Number-of-Reviews-Completed-->. <br /> <br /> <!--The form below doesn't appear until at least 5 reviews are confirmed to have been posted. At which point a script will reconfirm the postings and send 2 emails, one to business with client info and another email to client confirming the completion of the postings.--> <form> <fieldset> <label for="name">Name</label><input type="text" name="full-name" /><br /> <label for="address">Address</label><input type="text" name="address" /><br /> <label for="city">City</label><input type="text" name="city" /><br /> <label for="state">State</label><input type="text" name="state" /><br /> <label for="zipcode">Zip Code</label><input type="text" name="zipcode" /><br /> <label for="telephone">Telephone</label><input type="text" name="telephone" /><br /> <label for="email">Email</label><input type="text" name="emaile" /><br /> <input type="submit" /> </fieldset> </form> </body> </html> how would i go about doing this? lets say i want to use different domains i.e.: mysite.com mycoolsite.com but i want them to both use the same php script i.e.: myscript.com/site.php?domain=mysite.com each site will show different content depending on the domain $_GET variable... can anyone help me with this? Hello
I'm new in PHP but I need a help If it possible.
I want to Know which domain used my php script .
For example when some one run installer or run index.php an email send to me that contain the domain name.
Or some thing like this that I used for any php code.
so thanks
Hey everyone, Im writing some code that has to work out a route based on linking airports and output all the flights it takes to get there, tried searching just dont really know what to search for The data table looks like this ID, Origin, Destination, DatetimeDeparting, DatetimeArriving, Price 1, BKK, CNX, 2010-10-14 12:00:00, 2010-10-14 14:00:00, 125 2, STN, BKK, 2010-10-13 18:00:00, 2010-10-13 22:00:00, 300 etc. What is the easiest way of working out the path from STN to CNX via BKK? UPDATE: Just to make it more interesting there will be instances where there is more than 1 path eg. STN -> KUL -> BKK -> CNX I would like to better understand relative and absolute paths when rewriting URLs. My virtual host configuration is shown below. I wish the server to see something like: https://example.com?page=page1&controller=controller1&data1=123&data2=321Given the rewrites as shown in my virtual host, what would be the proper URL in the browser? One of these (note the ? and &), or something different? https://example.com/page1/controller1?data1=123&data2=321 https://example.com/page1/controller1&data1=123&data2=321Next, if I enter one of the URLs, how do relative paths to images, etc work? Would the browser think it is in the root directory, or in /page1/controller1? I had problems with relative paths, and changed to absolute paths, and it fixed the problem, but I wish to better understand what is happening. On a side note, I would appreciate any critique of my virtual host configuration. My goal is for all requests to example.com to redirect to https://example.com, for only https://example.com (no subdomain) to redirect to https://www.example.com, and do the rewriting of page and controller.

I have a master file located along the root path that needs to be included in subdomains. Inside the master file are includes like Code: [Select] <?php include("../bodyCopy/anyfile.php"); ?> that need to reference the /bodyCopy directory IN THE SUBDOMAIN and NOT along the root. The problem that I'm having is that the master file resides OUTSIDE of the subdomain on the root (in a '/bodyCopy' directory. How do I write the PHP include so that files included in a subdomain from outside of the subdomain (on root) search directories INSIDE the subdomain and NOT relative to the root path? Here's what I mean. I have this file sitting on the root: /home/xxxx/public_html/constructfiles/filetoinclude.php It needs to be included he /home/xxxx/public_html/SUBDOMAIN/publicfile.php Then, 'filetoinclude.php' needs to include other files that are he /home/xxxx/public_html/SUBDOMAIN/bodyCopy/otherfilestoinclude.php ...but, 'filetoinclude.php' is searching along the root path for '/home/xxxx/public_html/bodyCopy/otherfilestoinclude.php' (which does not exist), and NOT within the SUBDOMAIN for the '/home/xxxx/public_html/SUBDOMAIN/bodyCopy/otherfilestoinclude.php' like I need it to. It appears that PHP will only search along the root path of the included file and NOT the root path of the file in which an include is included. I'm confusing myself now, but I hope someone can help. Thanks, Jet - hello, i cant see why my navigation file path is not working im working on my localhost: http://localhost:8888/djsonrotation my initialize file is located at http://localhost:8888/djsonrotation/includes/initialize.php my navigation code is located at http://localhost:8888/djsonrotation/pages/pageContent/navigation/ddAccordion.php my js is located at http://localhost:8888/djsonrotation/js/ddaccordion.js if i put these on my ddAccordion.php it works Code: [Select] to find my initialize file <?PHP require_once("../../../includes/initialize.php"); ?> to find my js file <script type="text/javascript" src="../../../js/ddaccordion.js"> this is how my initialize file looks Code: [Select] <?PHP defined('DS') ? null : define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR); defined('SITE_DOMAIN') ? null : define('SITE_DOMAIN', 'http://localhost/djsonrotation'); defined('SITE_ROOT') ? null : define('SITE_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.'djsonrotation'); defined('LIB_PATH') ? null : define('LIB_PATH', SITE_ROOT.DS.'includes'); defined('ELEMENTS') ? null : define('ELEMENTS', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].DS.'djsonrotation'.DS.'pages'.DS.'contElements'); the problem is i can't seem to change ../../../ in to a file path like this does not work Code: [Select] <?PHP require_once(include(LIB_PATH.DS."initialize.php")); ?> i tried a couple of different file paths for my js file but they dont work either Code: [Select] <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php include(SITE_DOMAIN.DS."js".DS."ddaccordion.js"); ?>"> or Code: [Select] <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php include(SITE_ROOT.DS."js".DS."ddaccordion.js"); ?>"> i guess i could just use ../../../ but why are the include paths not working ???? thanks I recently installed a SSL certificate for one of my domains, on a hosting account that includes several other domains. To redirect visitors to the SSL version of the website (because the SSL certificate only works for the www. version of the site) I use the following code in my .htaccess file:
#First rewrite any request to the wrong domain to use the correct one (here www.) hey all, i've got no experience with php or apache coding but would really appreciate some help. basically, all i want to do is add a parked domain so that website2.com redirects to website1.com when i try to do this with cPanel i get the following message (Apache detected an error in the Rewrite config. Syntax error on line 5 of /public_html/.htaccess.Ei15veHhUrcxOtEJvtu0jaH_2_TPSZ8u: RewriteRule: bad flag delimiters Please try again.) i opened .htaccess but have no idea what to change in it to fix this issue all that is .htaccess contain is the following RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L] RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php any help would be really appreciated. thanks. I have recently changed server and setting things up are a right pain, after 2 days im need of some help. I have my site split into sub domains so lets say; www.domain.com one.domain.com two.domain.com three.domain.com They are to separate parts of my site which used to make it easier the manage each part, so one sub domain handles accounts and logins etc.. whilst another handles products and so on. the problem im having is all my login scripts and are on say 'one.domain.com', i can log in fine but when i visit any other domain im logged out, i can't seem to sort it out. i have tried setting my session cookie path and session cookie domain by painstakingly adding Code: [Select] ini_set('session.save_path', '/var/www/vhosts/website.co.uk/httpdocs/tmp'); ini_set('session.cookie_domain', '.website.co.uk'); to every page, but it makes no difference, im also getting the occasional error Code: [Select] Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_d387ha6eqvj53f135q0fh4d733, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied I have contacted my server provider by after endless messages they are no longer helping but rather keep saying 'leave it with us' then 'we fixed it' although they didnt. It doesn't help im so limited in what i have access to, i cant access the php.ini so everything has to be done via php So i would really appreciate any help getting this session problem sorted out. Thank you. I have a form that lets a user upload an image, aswell as another file. I want the image to go into the images directory, and the pdf file to go into the PDF directory once uploaded. The names of the files will then be uploaded to the database. At the moment I can get the image to upload to the database and directory, but the PDF is only uploading the name to the database, it is not going into the PDF directory aswell. I'm not sure if there is a way you can do this, I am trying to use "move_uploaded_file()" to physically move the files but not sure if you can use it twice. here is my code, if you can point anything out or where im going wrong that would be great. <?php include "include/conn.php"; include "include/session.php"; ?> <?php // Check to see if the type of file uploaded is a valid image type function is_valid_type($file) { $valid_types = array("image/jpg", "image/jpeg", "image/bmp", "image/gif"); if (in_array($file['type'], $valid_types)) return 1; return 0; } function showContents($array) { echo "<pre>"; print_r($array); echo "</pre>"; } //Target path for image $TARGET_PATH = dirname(__FILE__) .

Currently, to view my test website you go to... http://www.doubledee.byethost2.com/ I suppose that could be "BASE_URL", but for where things are physically stored so I can redefine "WEB_ROOT" I have no clue... Help! Thanks, Debbie I have a directory in public WWW. The files throughout the directory have many PHP includes amongst themselves. For example, the file "registration.php" begins with require('../parameters.php'); The directory is complex, like this:
/Public WWW directory/ How would I do that without breaking all the include paths? (I know the solution is probably a one-liner involving __DIR__ ... but I can't seem to code it so it works). Thank you!!
Hi all, How do I get the following paths from the array separately in a foreach loop? level.dat level.dat_old session.lock uid.data If I use Code: [Select] foreach($outer_dir as $key=>$val) [code] then I get a warning because its returning the folder as 'Array'. The files still upload, as well as a single file called Array. Can i just strip these from the foreach? [code] Array ( [data] => Array ( ) [level.dat] => level.dat [level.dat_old] => level.dat_old [players] => Array ( [herghost.dat] => herghost.dat ) [region] => Array ( [r.-1.0.mcr] => r.-1.0.mcr [r.0.0.mcr] => r.0.0.mcr ) [session.lock] => session.lock [uid.dat] => uid.dat ) herghost.dat Many thanks from a confused user I'm looking for a secure way to share session data across two different domains (not subdomains) on the same server. I've looked at passing the session id through a GET var to the other domain. It works but it looks to open the possibility of session hijacking and I don't really like having the session id in the URL string. Any way to make this secure? The other option I'm looking at is using cURL to load a script on the other domain that sets a cookie with the session id. When the person loads the other domain, check for the cookie, get the session id, connect to session then delete the cookie. Can anyone see anything wrong with this? Thanks. |
