[Unable to write/append but no error message (IIS7/php5.3)]

Do you have IIS impersonating a different user than IUSR_ when working with phpMyAdmin?  Maybe you just need to add permissions for a different user account or group.

 

But giving additional permissions to c:\windows\temp shouldn't be much of a risk, it's not a URL that's accessible from a user's browser.

 

 

No, but it's an easy place for an activeX component to download an executable  to and, if users are allowed to execute from it, then it can execute that executable launching a virus. What I'm saying is that it is a vulnerability for me the computer user (since this is a personal computer) although since most people don't have this vulnerability then perhaps there are no/few viruses exploiting it and probability of me hitting it is low. I seem to remember that IIS is impersonating my primary user account so perhaps by turning impersonation off I can get IIS_USER to be the only one who needs permissions for the temp folder.

do you defiantly have

do you defiantly have error_reporting set to a high enough level and display_errors set to On ?

 

It's very strange for php to fail and not tell you why.

It's very strange for php to fail and not tell you why.

 

error_reporting was set to all, but display_errors was off, my fault. I turned display_errors on and got the following message when trying to run phpMyAdmin:

 

Warning: Unknown: open(C:\Windows\Temp\sess_p2senobmer8ld3eb4kv35dc6r5h4uca1, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (C:\Windows\Temp) in Unknown on line 0

 

My previous test with writing files now seems to work. What's weird is that it stated working after I used opendir/readdir. I used this command once and like magic files started appearing ever since. Perhaps some bug with FastCGI/IIS 7? Who knows... I'll try changing permissions with Temp...

 

 

Ok, problem "solved" by giving Users full control over C:/Windows/Temp

 

But this seems like a rather inherently unsafe solution. Giving IIS_USER full control was insufficient so I'm wondering how else I can limit permissions without killing everything.

Hello,

 

I tried installing a test environment on my laptop today. I'm running IIS7 with php 5.3 on 32bit Vista Premium. PHP seems to be working fine but I had some silent error when trying to set-up phpMyAdmin. After some nosing around I found that the problem was that I could not write/append to files, but without getting any error messages. That is, I can open a stream, get a valid resource id, but when I try doing fprintf nothing happens. I thought it was a permission issue but even after I gave full control to everybody, the issue persisted. Any suggestions how I can debug this?

 

Thanks,

 

Ilya

[[SOLVED] Cleaning up path with php]

Ok, while you still get some problems, the solution is actually pretty nice. Thank you, topic solved.

 

I used, based on sasa's suggestion:

function OptimizeCurpath($curpath){
$a=$curpath;
$a = explode('/',$a);
$count = count($a);
for ($i = 1; $i < $count; $i++) {
if ($a[$i] == '..' && $a[$i-1]!='..') {
	unset($a[$i]);
	unset($a[$i - 1]);
}
}
$a=implode('/',$a);
return $a;
}

I actually like sasa's solution and will try to implement it...

[[SOLVED] Link question]

Lol, all php code is executed at page load. If you want a row deleted only when you click the link you must have something along the lines of

 

main.html

<a href="delterow.php">Delete Row FTW!</a>

 

delterow.php

<?php $query_apagar = mysql_query("DELETE FROM contacto WHERE id = '1'");?>

[[SOLVED] Saving data to text file (I did a search! I swear!)]

Well, writing to a file can be done by something along the lines of

 

$content="Your Content Here";
$filename="yourfile.txt";
$fin=fopen($filename,"w");
fwrite($fin,$content);
fclose($fin);

 

Hope this helps,

[[SOLVED] Cleaning up path with php]

Hi,

 

I'm writing a file manager for a school org I'm in. My question is this, currently, when I have someone navigate through directories and they want to go one up I simply append ../ to the directory path. Since this is done in a series of places and it is fairly convenient, I don't think I'm going to change this. The problem, however, is that after some browsing you end up with a path along the lines of "../dev/sample1/../sample2/../sample3/../" instead of simply "../dev/". This becomes very problematic if one of the folders I've previously browsed was deleted (in which case the whole algorithm breaks). What I need to do is create a function that would take in the currentpath $curpath (which can be ugly and long) and spit out the optimized path (so, to return back to my example, I want to be able to pass the function "../dev/sample1/../sample2/../sample3/../" and have it return "../dev/"). I tried to make an algorithm by splitting the path by split($curpath,"/") and then removing parts of the array that precede ".." but it doesn't really work.

 

Hope you can help me,

Thank you in advance,
