I got it working.... Thanks.

It isn't the code my friend. This setting worked on ubuntu server 9.04, but not 9.10..... it was also same php version and apache and mysql. I think maybe when I moved the files it changed permissions.....but I don't know what to set it to.

For some reason after reinstalling my os on my server I no longer have permission to include files. Any ideas? Warning: include(./core/library/config.class.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/index.php on line 30

Install Ubuntu and all your problems will be solved.

So in this case the error that was triggered was done by a user attempting to inject code, or create an error. What was this user trying to accomplish exactly? Thanks for the information thus far by the way.

I don't allow any get methods other than logging out at the moment. This is what my error log reads 582 Time: 15 Nov 09 - 6:12:39 PM (PST) 583 File: /var/www/root.php 584 Line: 240 585 Code: E_NOTICE 586 Message: Array to string conversion 587 IP: took it out ################################################## That line is the line that strips slashes. if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()){ $_GET = array_map('stripslashes', $_GET); $_POST = array_map('stripslashes', $_POST); $_COOKIE = array_map('stripslashes', $_COOKIE); }

I have tried to reproduce the error, but it occurred on a different user and was reported through my log. So far I don't see any error.

I had an error in my log saying "Array to string conversion" is this a potentially dangerous error? Could this be someone trying to do something.

I went with sshfs. Works great.

how is performance on the samba share?

I have a web server that is running Linux and it hosts a website where people can upload files for a game server which is running Windows XP well atleast ideally it would do this. I did host them both on the same server at one point and time and it was easy to move these documents from one location to the next. How would I do this on a windows(XP) machine from a linux machine(Ubuntu)? Thanks for the help.

Without me doing it for you this is the best help I can give. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-add.php

How are you sending these variables over to the insert method?

So a div wouldn't work in IE or span? .pic div { background: #000 url(img/bgmenu.png) repeat-x; } .pic div:hover { background-position: left bottom; I maintain a strict hatred for IE. It just isn't a good browser. So I simply don't support it. In fact thinking about disabling IE use at my site. http://kinggoddard.com check out the links to the browser benchmarks. Although everything at my site currently works with all browsers I have tested including IE. Haven't tested opera yet.

Not sure if you checked, but was it enabled and what were the version numbers?

Ahh, I see that would be helpful. This works with a parse_ini_file command? Would these methods eliminate access then?

You should try a persistent connection or maybe a ob_start. Really you should only have to create the connection to mysql once or what ever database and then just close it when your done using it a include should work perfect with this method. http://www.php-scripts.com/php_diary/070700.php3

What if this isn't an option? Is there any other ways?

I wanted to make sure my configuration file was secure it contains a lot of important information. How can I make sure no one, but the server can access it.

Global variables can be very helpful in certain instances just don't make passwords global and probably not usernames either.

I got it. Now if I can just figure out some ajax methods.

<?php session_start(); $randomstring = md5(microtime()); $realstring = substr($randomstring,0,5); $useimage = imagecreatefromjpeg("img.jpg"); $linecolor = imagecolorallocate($useimage,233,239,239); $textcolor = imagecolorallocate($useimage, 255, 255, 255); imageline($useimage,1,1,40,40,$linecolor); imageline($useimage,1,100,60,0,$linecolor); imagestring($useimage, 5, 20, 10, $realstring, $textcolor); header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); imagejpeg($NewImage); $_SESSION['key'] = $realstring; ?>

I was hoping for some kind of insight for people who have built captchas with imagecreatefromjpeg(). I have done severnal tests and I am stumped. I have started a session at the start of my "page" and the captcha also has a session start inside it and for some reason they don't conflict, which is strange to me since I expected an error. This lead me to believe captchas don't work the same way. I thought maybe I needed to pass the session variable I used at the bottom of my captcha in a different location. I am doing the basic captcha with a include file that is really basic basic. I try and store the value in a session at the end of the page so I can double check what the person entered with the actual value of the picture.... <img src=captcha.php>

I didn't test it just fixed it up real fast. <?php $date2 = date("F j Y"); $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; require("inc/config.php"); $sql="INSERT INTO `accounts` (username, password, ip, addeddate) VALUES('$_POST[username]','$_POST[Password]','$ip','$date2')"; mysql_query($sql) or die('Error: ' . mysql_error(); $result = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM admin WHERE id = '1'") or die('Could not run query: ' . mysql_error()); $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); $to = $row[0]; $qcheck = "SELECT * FROM admin"; $rcheck = mysql_query($qcheck) or die("<B>MySQL error! Make sure you edited the config file! <BR><BR> Error: ".mysql_error()); $frow = mysql_fetch_array($rcheck); if ($frow['sendemail'] == "1"){ $subject = "New Registered User"; $from = "test"; $message = " A new user has signed up and has been added to the database Username: $_POST[username] Password: $_POST[Password] IP Address: $ip Date: $date2 "; $headers = "From: $to"; $sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ; echo "sent"; }else{ echo "not sent - since not enabled"; } ?>

I have been working on building a captcha, but I am running into a problem. My session variable that is storing the value isn't being set. I have already started a session. What could be the problem?
