PHP - Copy Server Configuration From Phpinfo() Output

Ok I am designing a php upload that will take a image file from a form and change the name of the file to the productnumber also recieved from the form. I had it working the otherday now it says Warning: copy() [function.copy]: open_basedir restriction in effect File() is not within the allowed path(s): (/home:/tmp:/usr) addpro.php on line 51.

my files are attached.... note that $pnum is the product number gotten from my form and image is the image being uploaded gotten from the form also.  The thing is it worked the other day but now it don't is it a change to the server ( I dont run the server) or did I mess up my code since then?  I really need a code that will do this two time over once for a small image being put into a folder called small and once for a folder called large both images being uploaded and being changed to $pnum.ext so they will both be displayed when being called out by the product number. but I can work on that after I get this one working.


line 51 is $copied = copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $newname);

I came across the PHP clone method. Does this clone first level fields and methods or does it also do deep copying e.g. copying references to those fields. For example, a field may be an array. Does it make a copy of the actual array or does it refer to the same array position in memory, so if the original changes, then the copy's changes as well?

This was generated through phpFormGenerator, but I'm getting the following warning message when a file is not uploaded. I didn't set it as a required field.

"Warning: copy() [function.copy]: Filename cannot be empty ..."

If it possible to skip this check since it's not supposed to be required to upload a file? I'm simply trying to make a contact form that emails basic information with the added option of attaching a file/picture.

Code: [Select]
<?php
include("global.inc.php");
$errors=0;

pt_register('POST','FullName');

Hi all,

Something that pretty much always seems to bother me when i write something for someone else is that the include path's for some reason are screwed up. Now i thought let's look in phpinfo to see what the path is:

So i get the following:

Local value:
.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/godzilla4361/php   

Master value:
.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php

Now which one is used for what? I just can't find a way to create a way to easily transport scripts from server to server, because i always have to manually adjust the path for inclusion otherwise i get those warning: failed to open stream etc.

Anyone with tips and or advice and maybe even knows what to use those local and master values for?

Hello I have the following environment:

- Apache 2

-Ubuntu 18.04

-MySQL

 

My problem is the $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] - When I check the phpinfo.php it shows up as empty or "No value". However I did set it on a page like so:

$_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] = $_SESSION["username"];

During the login event and it is working when printing:

 print "REMOTE_USER: ".$_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"]."\n";

 

Am I setting it incorrectly or perhaps theres a proper way to do it?

 

Many Thanks

 

Hi there,   I'm new to all this so I've been following instructions from various sites and books.  So far I have installed Apache, PHP and mysql, however when I browse to localhost/test.php (created to view phpinfo() through the browser) i can't see mysql or mysqli only the mysqlnd.   Here is an overview of software I've installed, OS and things I've added so far;   OS ver Windows7 Professional 32-bit VM

Greetings.  First time poster looking for some PHP help if it can be provided, because I'm confused as hell.

First off, I'll explain my situation.  I'm the IT technician of a small business tasked with ensuring the business' computers and website are running in top shape.  I originally joined as a Data Entry clerk to post products to the business' website, but got promoted when they original IT technician left town to pursue his PhD.  Before he left, he taught me a few things to prepare watching over the website as my new duty, including some PHP and MySQL.  Now, a few months after he's left, I have the glorious task of trying to move our website to a new host because we've apparently outgrown our original host's capabilities.  And being based on PHP with a MySQL database, it's turning out to be OH-so-fun.

So far, I've managed to download our entire website from the old host and given it to our new host to put up as a testing site, to ensure everything works before we switch hosts.  And for the most part, a lot of it has come together nicely, but there's still work needed to be done.  And thus we come to the problem I hope someone here can help with.

Our website has two back-end Admin sections, an older one that used to handle everything, and a newer one that's sleeker but still reads off a lot of data from the older one to work properly.  Normally, when you access those sections, you need to log in first.  Now, in the testing site, when I access those areas, the header of each of those sections now reads <?= $row[title] ?> and if I attempt to log in as normal, it just flashes back to the login page with the fields now cleared of what I typed in.  When I asked about this to see what the problem might be, the new host said it might "at least two misconfigurations on the new server relative to the old server".  So, I've been trying to Google for some help with PHP Configuration Functions, but I don't know if what I'm reading will help me fix the problem.  Would anyone here happen to know what they might mean in this case, because my knowledge of PHP is fairly limited beyond what I was taught to keep the website in order without considering a host change...

Thanks to those who help or can direct me to a place that helps!

Dear All,

Hi ,   My site gives a blank page when i click on an article due to insufficient memory. I tried making changes to the php.ini file but the changes are not getting reflected.   Please advice if a server restart is needed for this, how do i go about it?   Thanks in advance

Every now and then, I experience some strange behavior and eventually trace it back to parse_ini_file's scanner_mode being applicable to some parameter but not another, and am looking for alternatives.  Below are several of my thoughts.  How do you store configuration settings?  Do you use different approaches based on the application, and if so what criteria governs which you use?

Keep with a ini file with parse_ini_file.  Obviously, not working for me. An ini file but with a class dedicated to ensuring the data is appropriate.  Seems like too much duplicating content which will result in errors. YAML.  Don't think I want to. XML.  Not as readable. In a database.  Maybe, but might be harder to manage. Hardcode an array in PHP.  Probably not. JSON.  I like the idea, but feel comments are important in a config file, and am considering the following: Add extra valid JSON properties which contain comments.  Don't like the idea. Use JavaScript's JSON.stringify.  Too much mixing technologies. Add comments to the JSON and then strip them using a 3rd party parser such as https://json5.org/ or a little regex.  My main issue is inability to auto-format, but this seems viable. Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

I'm a bit new to php coding, so dont really know what the best way to code this up.
I want to make a router configuration page, such as it shows the link status (ip/gatewatway etc) and also have input selections such as to turn on/off wifi / dhcp etc.
Ideally I would like the data stored and written to a text file as the php server is running on a linux arm embedded system. At present I have been able to read back from a text file the corresponding values for each of the status information (these are stored on a seperate line), but I'm having difficulty writing and reading the input selection boxes, such as when the dhcp is disabled I need it to write to a file that its been disabled and refresh the page to allow entry of the static ip box and then when the apply button is pressed the value is written to the file.

This may be out of my depth, hopefully someone could give me some pointers.
I feel that the text file might not be the best way of storing and recalling values but I don't know of another way.

Many Thanks
Tim

I have a configuration file, and I use parse_ini_file() to parse it into an array at the initial entry point of my script.   I would like the settings to be available to all downstream scripts/methods/functions. Note that my intent is not to change them outside of the configuration file, and ideally they will be readonly, however, if not, I suppose that is okay and I will just be sure not to modify them.   I've read about dependency injection, and while this mostly makes sense, it seems like a lot of script/troubleshooting for little if any value for this scenario.   I've read that global variables are bad (couples your objects to some "god" object, cannot unit test, difficult to troubleshoot, difficult to work with multiple developers, potential conflicts with other classes, namespace pollution), but maybe not for this case?   Another option is defining a bunch of constants to the appropriate values, but this seems redundant.   Or maybe some static class with all the values?   What would be the best way to make configuration settings available to all PHP scripts, functions, and methods?

Hi, I've been googling for a while now for an example of how to read, edit and write a configuration file.

This part was easy to find...
<?php
$icon_settings = parse_ini_file("test.desktop");
print_r($icon_settings);
?>

...the above code works great, but how do I edit and write back a configuration file like this...
Code: [Select]
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Firefox Web Browser
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
GenericName=Web Browser
Exec=firefox %u
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=firefox
# ... and so on
back to the drive?

Thanks.
