PHP网站制作之静态网页制造进修：PHP预界说变量
多个成员之间重复做相同的工作，很容易因为交流沟通的时候没有进行一致性的文档要求而出现不明错误，严重影响开发进度，导致在预定时间内无法完成该项目或者完成的项目跟原先计划所要实现的项目功能不符合。 预界说变量自 PHP 4.1.0 起，获得内部变量的首选办法是用上面说起的超全局变量。在此之前，人们要末依附 register_globals，要末就是长长的预界说 PHP 数组（$HTTP_*_VARS）。自 PHP 5.0.0 起，长格局的 PHP 预界说变量可以经由过程设置 register_long_arrays 来屏障。
办事器变量：$_SERVER
注: 在 PHP 4.1.0 及今后版本利用。之前的版本，利用 $HTTP_SERVER_VARS。
$_SERVER 是一个包括诸如头信息（header）、途径（path）和剧本地位（script locations）的数组。数组的实体由 web 办事器创立。不克不及包管一切的办事器都能发生一切的信息；办事器能够疏忽了一些信息，或发生了一些未鄙人面列出的新的信息。这意味着，大批的这些变量在 CGI 1.1 标准中申明，所以应当细心研讨一下。
这是一个“superglobal”，或可以描写为主动全局变量。这只不外意味这它在一切的剧本中都无效。在函数或办法中不需求利用 global $_SERVER; 会见它，就好像利用 $HTTP_SERVER_VARS 一样。
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS 包括着一样的信息，然而不是一个主动全局变量（注重：$HTTP_SERVER_VARS 和 $_SERVER 是分歧的变量，PHP 处置它们的体例分歧）。
假如设置了 register_globals 指令，这些变量也在一切剧本中可用；也就是，分别了 $_SERVER 和 $HTTP_SERVER_VARS 数组。相干信息，请参阅平安的相干章节利用 Register Globals。这些独自的全局变量不是主动全局变量。
也许会发明上面列出的某些 $_SERVER 元素其实不可用。注重，假如以号令行体例运转 PHP，上面列出的元素几近没有无效的（或是没有任何实践意义的）。
“PHP_SELF”
以后正在履行剧本的文件名，与 document root 相干。举例来讲，在 URL 地址为 http://example.com/test.php/foo.bar 的剧本中利用 $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] 将会失掉 /test.php/foo.bar 这个了局。__FILE__ 常量包括以后（例如包括）文件的相对途径和文件名。
假如 PHP 以号令行体例运转，该变量在 PHP 4.3.0 之前有效。
“argv”
传递给该剧本的参数。当剧本运转在号令行体例时，argv 变量传递给法式 C 言语款式的号令行参数。当挪用 GET 办法时，该变量包括恳求的数据。
“argc”
包括传递给法式的号令行参数的个数（假如运转在号令行形式）。
“GATEWAY_INTERFACE”
办事器利用的 CGI 标准的版本。例如，“CGI/1.1”。
“SERVER_NAME”
以后运转剧本地点办事器主机的称号。假如该剧本运转在一个虚拟主机上，该称号是由谁人虚拟主机所设置的值决意。
“SERVER_SOFTWARE”
办事器标识的字串，在呼应恳求时的头信息中给出。
“SERVER_PROTOCOL”
恳求页面时通讯协定的称号和版本。例如，“HTTP/1.0”。
“REQUEST_METHOD”
会见页面时的恳求办法。例如：“GET”、“HEAD”，“POST”，“PUT”。
注: 假如恳求的体例是 HEAD，PHP 剧本将在送出头信息后中断（这意味着在发生任何输入后，不再有输入缓冲）。
“REQUEST_TIME”
恳求入手下手时的工夫戳。从 PHP 5.1.0 起无效。
“QUERY_STRING”
查询（query）的字符串（URL 中第一个问号 ? 以后的内容）。
“DOCUMENT_ROOT”
以后运转剧本地点的文档根目次。在办事器设置装备摆设文件中界说。
“HTTP_ACCEPT”
以后恳求的 Accept: 头信息的内容。
“HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET”
以后恳求的 Accept-Charset: 头信息的内容。例如：“iso-8859-1,*,utf-8”。
“HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING”
以后恳求的 Accept-Encoding: 头信息的内容。例如：“gzip”。
“HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE”
以后恳求的 Accept-Language: 头信息的内容。例如：“en”。
“HTTP_CONNECTION”
以后恳求的 Connection: 头信息的内容。例如：“Keep-Alive”。
“HTTP_HOST”
以后恳求的 Host: 头信息的内容。
“HTTP_REFERER”
链接到以后页面的前一页面的 URL 地址。不是一切的用户代办署理（阅读器）城市设置这个变量，并且有的还可以手工修正 HTTP_REFERER。因而，这个变量不老是真实准确的。
“HTTP_USER_AGENT”
以后恳求的 User-Agent: 头信息的内容。该字符串标明了会见该页面的用户代办署理的信息。一个典范的例子是：Mozilla/4.5 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.9 i586)。也能够利用 get_browser() 失掉此信息。
“HTTPS”
假如剧本是经由过程 HTTPS 协定被会见，则被设为一个非空的值。
“REMOTE_ADDR”
正在阅读以后页面用户的 IP 地址。
“REMOTE_HOST”
正在阅读以后页面用户的主机名。反向域名解析基于该用户的 REMOTE_ADDR。
注: 必需设置装备摆设 Web 办事器来创立此变量。例如 Apache 需求在 httpd.conf 中有 HostnameLookups On。拜见 gethostbyaddr()。
“REMOTE_PORT”
用户毗连到办事器时所利用的端口。
“SCRIPT_FILENAME”
以后履行剧本的相对途径名。
注: 假如剧本在 CLI 中被履行，作为绝对途径，例如 file.php 或 ../file.php，$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] 将包括用户指定的绝对途径。
“SERVER_ADMIN”
该值指了然 Apache 办事器设置装备摆设文件中的 SERVER_ADMIN 参数。假如剧本运转在一个虚拟主机上，则该值是谁人虚拟主机的值。
“SERVER_PORT”
办事器所利用的端口。默许为“80”。假如利用 SSL 平安毗连，则这个值为用户设置的 HTTP 端口。
“SERVER_SIGNATURE”
包括办事器版本和虚拟主机名的字符串。
“PATH_TRANSLATED”
以后剧本地点文件体系（不是文档根目次）的根基途径。这是在办事器停止虚拟到真实途径的映像后的了局。
注: PHP 4.3.2 以后，PATH_TRANSLATED 在 Apache 2 SAPI 形式下不再和 Apache 1 一样隐含赋值，而是若 Apache 不生成此值，PHP 便本人生成并将其值放入 SCRIPT_FILENAME 办事器常量中。这个修正恪守了 CGI 标准，PATH_TRANSLATED 仅在 PATH_INFO 被界说的前提下才存在。
Apache 2 用户可使用 httpd.conf 中的 AcceptPathInfo On 来界说 PATH_INFO。
“SCRIPT_NAME”
包括以后剧本的途径。这在页面需求指向本人时十分有效。__FILE__ 包括以后文件的相对途径和文件名（例如包括文件）。
“REQUEST_URI”
会见此页面所需的 URI。例如，“/index.html”。
“PHP_AUTH_DIGEST”
看成为 Apache 模块运转时，停止 HTTP Digest 认证的过程当中，此变量被设置成客户端发送的“Authorization”HTTP 头内容（以便作进一步的认证操作）。
“PHP_AUTH_USER”
当 PHP 运转在 Apache 或 IIS（PHP 5 是 ISAPI）模块体例下，而且正在利用 HTTP 认证功效，这个变量即是用户输出的用户名。
“PHP_AUTH_PW”
当 PHP 运转在 Apache 或 IIS（PHP 5 是 ISAPI）模块体例下，而且正在利用 HTTP 认证功效，这个变量即是用户输出的暗码。
“AUTH_TYPE”
当 PHP 运转在 Apache 模块体例下，而且正在利用 HTTP 认证功效，这个变量即是认证的类型。
情况变量：$_ENV
注: 在 PHP 4.1.0 及今后版本利用。之前的版本，利用 $HTTP_ENV_VARS。
在解析器运转时，这些变量从情况变量改变为 PHP 全局变量称号空间（namespace）。它们中的很多都是由 PHP 所运转的体系决意。完全的列表是不成能的。请检查体系的文档以肯定其特定的情况变量。
其它情况变量（包含 CGI 变量），不管 PHP 是以办事器模块或是以 CGI 处置体例运转，都在这里列出了。

If you have problems with $_SERVER['HTTPS'], especially if it returns no values at all you should check the results of phpinfo(). It might not be listed at all.
Here is a solution to check and change, if necessary, to ssl/https that will work in all cases:
<?php
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']!=443) {
$sslport=443; //whatever your ssl port is
$url = "https://". $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . ":" . $sslport . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
header("Location: $url");
}
?>
Of course, this should be done before any html tag or php echo/print.

To get the server address, you can use $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']. However, this only works when your PHP process is running on a webserver, not when running PHP as CLI. Here is a function which will also return the server address when running on linux (eth0 is hardcoded as the network interface, modify if necessary).
<?php
function getServerAddress() {
if($_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']) {
return $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];
}
$ifconfig = shell_exec('/sbin/ifconfig eth0');
preg_match('/addr:([\d\.]+)/',$ifconfig,$match);
return $match;
}
?>

I think it is very important to note that PHP will automatically replace dots ('.') AND spaces (' ') with underscores ('_') in any incoming POST or GET (or REQUEST) variables.
This page notes the dot replacement, but not the space replacement:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php
The reason is that '.' and ' ' are not valid characters to use in a variable name.This is confusing to many people, because most people use the format $_POST['name'] to access these values.In this case, the name is not used as a variable name but as an array index, in which those characters are valid.
However, if the register_globals directive is set, these names must be used as variable names.As of now, PHP converts the names for these variables before inserting them into the external variable arrays, unfortunately - rather than leaving them as they are for the arrays and changing the names only for the variables set by register_globals.
If you want to use:
<input name="title for page3.php" type="text">
The value you will get in your POST array, for isntance would be:
$_POST['title_for_page3_php']

The *only* way to make Request_URI work as a 100% Apache-Compliant server variable on IIS/Windows is to use an Isapi Filter - as documented at http://neosmart.net/blog/archives/291 . The various steps mentioned below *completely* fail when a rewrite engine is employed, since IIS will *never* return a non-existent path (i.e. the actual pretty-URI used) via its server variables.
This also applies to accessing index.php via a folder.
For instance, calls made to /folder/ will appear as /folder/index.php and not /folder/.
The fix is to use the ISAPI filter provided at http://neosmart.net/blog/archives/291
You don't have to modify any of the actual scripts once this filter is in place - it automatically intercepts calls to REQUEST_URI and replaces them with the actual user-entered path.

I'm sure this is elsewhere, but since 'chris dot chaudruc at gmail dot com' posted his example, I thought I would share a quick function I use to force HTTPS protocol on a page, without having to know the scripts name...
<?php
function ForceHTTPS()
{
if( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] != "on" )
{
$new_url = "https://" . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
header("Location: $new_url");
exit;
}
}
?>
Correct me if part of this doesn't work right. I've always used *nix based servers for PHP, so I might not be aware of certain windows limitations. Thanks.

Andy Staudacher may have addressed this in his bug fix but just for clarifacation when reading a cookie $_COOKIE reads only the most accurate domain including sub domain. If you have cookies for .bar.com and foo.bar.com and the user is at foo.bar.com $_COOKIE only returns the cookie data from foo.bar.com but if the user is at www.bar.com the data from .bar.com will be read if there is no cookie for www.bar.com.

Note that class objects will not be in the $GLOBALS array until *after* the classe's constructor returns.
<?php
class A
{
public function __construct()
{
var_dump($GLOBALS);
}
}
$a = new A;
var_dump($GLOBALS);
?>
The first var_dump() inside the __construct() method will not contain the value of $a, while the second one will.

If you want to use a form with multiple checkboxes (e.g. one per row) and assign the same name to each checkbox then the name needs to end with []. This tells PHP to put all checked values into an array variable.
For example:
<input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="value_1">
<input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="value_2">
..
<input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="value_x">
You can now retrieve all values by using:
$values = $_POST['id'];
If the name does not end with [], then only a single value will be available via the $_POST variable even if the user checks several checkboxes.

I needed to do the exact same thing as jwl007 (sort by clicking links) but I needed it to append the variable to the query string if it didn't already exist. Here's the function I'm using:
<?php
function setGetVar($var, $val){
$request_uri = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
if(strstr($request_uri, $var)) {
return preg_replace("/$var=[\\d\\w]*/", "$var=$val", $request_uri);
} elseif(strstr($request_uri, "?")) {
return $request_uri . "&" . $var . "=" . $val;
} else {
return $request_uri . "?" . $var . "=" . $val;
}
}
?>

<a href="<?php echo setGetVar("orderby", "fname"); ?>">Sort by First Name</a>

So you have an application in your web space, with a URL such as this:
//">http://<host>/<installation_path>/
and pages such as
//subfolder1/subfolder2/page.php">http://<host>/<installation_path>/subfolder1/subfolder2/page.php
You have a file called config.php in <installation_path> which is include()d by all pages (in subfolders or not).
How to work out <installation_path> without hard-coding it into a config file?
<?php
// this is config.php, and it is in <installation_path>
// it is included by <installation_path>/page.php
// it is included by <installation_path>/subfolder/page2.php
// etc
$_REAL_SCRIPT_DIR = realpath(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])); // filesystem path of this page's directory (page.php)
$_REAL_BASE_DIR = realpath(dirname(__FILE__)); // filesystem path of this file's directory (config.php)
$_MY_PATH_PART = substr( $_REAL_SCRIPT_DIR, strlen($_REAL_BASE_DIR)); // just the subfolder part between <installation_path> and the page
$INSTALLATION_PATH = $_MY_PATH_PART
? substr( dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']), 0, -strlen($_MY_PATH_PART) )
: dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])
; // we subtract the subfolder part from the end of <installation_path>, leaving us with just <installation_path> :)

To convert query string parameter values ($_GET, $_REQUEST), which include escaped Unicode values resulting from applying the javascript "escape" function to a Unicode string (%uNNNN%uNNNN%uNNNN) fast and simple is to use PECL JSON extension:
function JavaScript_Unicode_URL_2_Str($js_uni_str) {
$res = preg_replace('/%u([[:alnum:]]{4})/', '\\u\1', $js_uni_str);
$res = str_replace('"', '\"', $res); // if in str "
$res = json_decode('["'.$res.'"]'); // JavaScrip array with string element
$res = $res;
$res = iconv('UTF-8', ini_get('default_charset'), $res);
return $res;

I was unable to convince my hosting company to change their installation of PHP and therefore had to find my own way to computer $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].I eventually settled on the following, which is a combination of earlier notes (with some typos corrected):
<?php
if ( ! isset($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ) )
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = str_replace( '\\', '/', substr(
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'], 0, 0-strlen($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) ) );
?>

Note that PHP_SELF will not be equal to REQUEST_URI under Apache if mod_rewrite has been used to move one URL to another--PHP_SELF will contain the rewritten address, and REQUEST_URI will contain the URL the user sees in their browser.

I was trying to find an alternative to $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] for a Windows NT set up and the ones below didn't really work for me so here's my solution using eustf at hotmail dot com's suggestion of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']:
// if 'REQUEST_URI' isn't available then ...
if(!isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
// ... set my own request url and ...
$temp_request_url = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
// ... test for and add url variables to my request url ...
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$temp_request_url .= (strpos($updateGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
$temp_request_url .= $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'];
}
} else {
// ... otherwise use the regular 'REQUEST_URI'
$temp_request_url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}

$_GET may not handle query string parameter values which include escaped Unicode values resulting from applying the JavaScript "escape" function to a Unicode string.
To handle this the query parameter value can be obtainedusing a function such as:
function getQueryParameter ($strParam) {
$aParamList = explode('&', $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
$i = 0;
while ($i < count($aParamList)) {
$aParam = split('=', $aParamList[$i]);
if ($strParam == $aParam) {
return $aParam;
}
}
return "";
}
or by directly building an array or query string values and then processing the parameter string using a function such as the "unescape" function which can be found at http://www.kanolife.com/escape/2006/03/unicode-url-escapes-in-php.html (or http://www.kanolife.com/escape/ for related info).

Note that it's a very, very bad idea to append to global variables in a loop, unless you really, really mean to do so in a global context. I just a while ago hung my server with a snippet of code like this:
<?php
$host= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$uri= rtrim($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], "/\\");
$GLOBALS['SITE_ROOT'] = "http://$host$uri";
while ($i < somenumber)
readfile($GLOBALS['SITE_ROOT'] = $GLOBALS['SITE_ROOT'] . '/this/file.php');
$i++
}
?>
While it is an entertaining and unusual method of creating very long URLs and breaking servers, it's a pretty awesomely bad idea
(Especially considering that the script in question ran concurrently with others of it's type, so the value in $GLOBALS['SITE_ROOT'] was unknown.)

Also on using IPs to look up country & city, note that what you get might not be entirely accurate.If their ISP is based in a different city or province/state, the IPs may be owned by the head office, and used across several areas.
You also have rarer situations where they might be SSHed into another server, on the road, at work, at a friend's...It's a nice idea, but as the example code shows, it should only be used to set defaults.

Above the manual says
'$_REQUEST is an associative array consisting of the contents of $_GET, $_POST, and $_COOKIE.'
However
$_REQUEST doesn't always contain the same elements as
$_GET+$_POST+$_REQUEST;
Basically if you add an element to the $_POST array that element does not automatically get added to REQUEST as well. It's easy to understand why :)
<?php
$_POST['geza'] = 'geza';
$_GET['bela'] = 'bela';
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);

The solution advanced by info at meshkaat dot com does not work correctly on machines with IIS configured to use
a virtual directory as the launch point. The address strings for $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] and $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] will not necessarily have the same name for the highest level directory in $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], and therefore this solution will not return the proper value.

Under Windows XP SP2 and IIS, $_SERVER('x') returns a path using forward slash '/' as the separator, where x is:
PHP_SELF, SCRIPT_NAME
These arguments, however, all return a path using backward slash, '\' as the separator:
__FILE__, SCRIPT_FILENAME, and DOCUMENT_ROOT (if you use one of the methods mentioned previously).
Also note that if the name of the last directory in the document root includes a space, the methods described above for setting DOCUMENT_ROOT will return a value that drops the everything past the space.

/**
* Fix the superglobal $_COOKIE to conform with RFC 2965
*
* We don't use $_COOKIE[$cookiename], because it doesn't conform to RFC 2965 (the
* cookie standard), i.e. in $_COOKIE, we don't get the cookie with the most specific path for
* a given cookie name, we get the cookie with the least specific cookie path.
* This function does it exactly the other way around, to a) fix our cookie/login problems and
* to b) conform with the RFC.
* The PHP bug was already fixed in spring 2005, but we will have to deal with broken PHP
* versions for a long time. See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=32802.
*
* Fixes also another PHP cookie bug. PHP doesn't expect the cookie header to have
* quoted-strings, but they are perfectly legal according to RFC 2965.
*
* The third bug fixed here is an MS Internet Explorer (IE) bug. When using default cookie
* domains (no leading dot, don't set the domain in set-cookie), IE is supposed to return only
* cookies that have the exact request-host as their domain.
* Example: Cookies stored in the browser with cookie domains: .example.com, .www.example.com,
* example.com, www.example.com
* The request-host is www.example.com. Thus, IE should return all those cookies but
* the example.com cookie, because it's a default domain cookie and it doesn't match
* exactly the request-host. But IE returns the example.com cookie too.
* As MS decided that it returns the cookie with the best domain-match first (unspecified in
* RFC 2965), this wouldn't be a problem if PHP didn't select the last cookie in the
* HTTP_COOKIE header. But with fixCookieVars(), this case is also fixed.
*
* This function reevaluates the HTTP Cookie header and populates $_COOKIE with the correct
* cookies. We fix only non-array and non '[', ']' containing cookies for simplicity. To fix
* our login problem, we'd have to fix only the GALLERYSID cookie anyway.
*
* @param boolean force the reevaluation of the HTTP header string Cookie
* @param boolean unset static variable for testability

How to get $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] on IIS :
if(!isset($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]))
{$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]=substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] , 0 , -strlen($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])+1 );
}
it simply works!

Since $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is not always present, the following will provide it where $_SERVER dosen't.
<?php
function resolveDocumentRoot() {
$current_script = dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
$current_path = dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
/* work out how many folders we are away from document_root
by working out how many folders deep we are from the url.
this isn't fool proof */
$adjust = explode("/", $current_script);
$adjust = count($adjust)-1;
/* move up the path with ../ */
$traverse = str_repeat("../", $adjust);
$adjusted_path = sprintf("%s/%s", $current_path, $traverse);
/* real path expands the ../'s to the correct folder names */
return realpath($adjusted_path);
}
?>
It counts the number of folders down the path we are in the URL, then moves that number of folders up the current path... end result should be the document root :)
It wont work with virtual folders or in any situation where the folder in the URL dosen't map to a real folder on the disk (like when using rewrites).

In response to tobias at net-clipping dot de
It is not an Apache bug.Please read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/mod/core.html#errordocument carefully (2.1 version here, 2.0 and 1.x is similar).
In short, if your ErrorDocument start with http:// Apache sends a redirect (302) to the error document, hence losing your original referer. If your ErrorDocument points to a relative path, 404 is maintained and so are your variables.
From the Apache manual:
"Note that when you specify an ErrorDocumentthat points to a remote URL (ie. anything with a method such as http in front of it), Apache will send a redirect to the client to tell it where to find the document, even if the document ends up being on the same server. This has several implications, the most important being that the client will not receive the original error status code, but instead will receive a redirect status code. This in turn can confuse web robots and other clients which try to determine if a URL is valid using the status code. In addition, if you use a remote URL in an ErrorDocument 401, the client will not know to prompt the user for a password since it will not receive the 401 status code. Therefore, if you use an ErrorDocument 401 directive then it must refer to a local document."

Re: You can take advantage of 404 error to an usable redirection using REQUEST_URI ...
Whilst this is effective, a line in the .htaccess such as:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^profiles/(+) showprofile.php?profile=$1
will throw the requested profile in a variable $profile to the showprofile.php page.
You can further enhance the url (e.g http://servername/profiles/Jerry/homeaddress/index.htm) and the second variable value homeaddress becomes available in $url_array when used below $url_array=explode("/",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
Hope this helps - Works well for me

You can take advantage of 404 error to an usable redirection using REQUEST_URI ...
For example the following program can retrieve the information for the 'search_string', for a given URI:http://servername/profiles/search_string, even though there's no such path.
Do the following steps..
Step 1: Edit Apache config:set
ErrorDocument 404 "/missing.php"
Step 2: Write the missing.php as follows ...
<?
$mainPath = "/profiles/"; // Example: http://servername/profiles/search_string
$mpLength = strlen( $mainPath);
$request_uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if ( $mainPath != substr($request_uri,0,$mpLength) ) { // Check if the given URI is valid
echo "404 Page Not Found !";
exit();
}
$name = substr ($request_uri , $mpLength ) ; // Extract the string to be searched
echo "You have searched for the profile of Mr. $name";
/** Here you can write the code to retrieve and display
the $name'sinformation from the database
*/
?>
Step 3: Now try http://servername/profiles/Jerry
(of course, there shouldn't be a file/folder in the server like "DOCROOT/profiles/Jerry" )
output: You have searched for the profile of Mr. Jerry
God Bless You!

Warning:
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] may not always be set correctly.
Some web hosts implement php as a CGI in such a way that they can turn it on or off for each virtual domain.Several $_SERVER and $_ENV variable values may be incorrect for documents in subdirectory subdomains of these virtual domains.
An include-file function or constant, instead of PHP_SELF or some other predefined variable throughout a website, will make it easier to "fix" an entire website in case something changes.
<?php
function true_url_path() {
// Pick the predefined variable that works on your server
return $_ENV['SCRIPT_URL'];
}

So you will need to do something like this if you are to use $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] in URL's.

$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] =
str_replace(array('&', '&'), array('&', '&'),

Warning: $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] can include arbitrary user input. The documentation should be updated to reflect this.
The request "http://example.com/info.php/attack%20here" will run /info.php, but in Apache $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] will equal "/info.php/attack here". This is a feature, but it means that PHP_SELF must be treated as user input.
The attack string could contain urlencoded HTML and JavaScript (cross-site scripting) or it could contain urlencoded linebreaks (HTTP response-splitting).
The use of $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] is recommended instead.

I wanted to be able to embed a variable in the path. This is useful when, for example, images are rendered on the fly and you would like them to have different urls.
Here is an illustration:
www.somesite.com/image.php/IMAGETEXTHERE
This would return an image with the text after "image.php/" contained in it.
I could not recall the name of this feature, so I made a work-around in PHP...
<?
function getPathVariables() {
$sPathPS = $_SERVER;
$sPathFS = __FILE__;
$aPathPS = array_reverse(explode("/", $sPathPS));
$aPathFS = array_reverse(explode("/", $sPathFS));
$aImageArgs = array();
$x = 0;
while ( $aPathPS[$x] != $aPathFS[$x] && $aPathPS[$x] != $aPathFS ) {
array_unshift($aImageArgs, $aPathPS[$x]) ;
$x++;
}
return $aImageArgs;
}
?>
This function will return an array containing each "/" delimited portion of the path after the script name itself.

Note that $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] behaves differently under IIS/Apache.
In Apache (at least on Windows) it is ALWAYS set - if no query string was specified in the URL, $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] is initialised as an empty string.
In IIS, if no query string is included in the URL, $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] is NOT SET, so trying to access it without checking for its existence will generate notices.

A note about the QUERY_STRING variable when using IIS:
I have found that IIS does not handle large query strings gracefully when passed from PHP. In addition to truncating them to around 1024 kb, I have seen IIS actually add data from other server variables to the end of the truncated data.
This occurred on Windows 2000 server running IIS 5.0 and PHP 4.3.8.The problem did not occur when handled by Apache, even on another Windows server.
Note: I realize passing this much data is best accomplished using the POST method, which would avoid this problem all together. I'm merely detailing a problem that I came across.
I have created a page that includes the (very long) query string that was used and some of the results that I saw while testing. It can be viewed at http://www.csb7.com/test/php_iis_qs_limit/. I didn't want to include it here as it would stretch the page out significantly.

PHP Secure Class to prevent XSS Attacks
Although this is not bullet proof but it would give you an idea on how to filter incoming data.
Copyleft : LGPL
Idea by: phpsec GROUP @ PHP|arch
Coded By: webKami
For those who are new to PHP and just heard of XSS attacks, this is the basic rule.
"NEVER EVER TRUST EXTERNAL DATA"
For this purpose I have coded a class that can be used to filter all external data, from POST, GET, COOKIE and even your own arrays.
An example is that if you need only integers from a certain parameter just request for integer
e.g. getVarInt("id")
You can even tell it to give you a default value if param is not set, so that your page would not FAIL in case of a NULL value
e.g. getVarInt("id",1)
You can also fetch data from a param array, like a set of colors
e.g. getVarInt("colors",0,0)
e.g. getVarInt("colors",0,1)
Get these variables in a loop limited by the count of that array's elements
e.g. getVarCount("colors")
The complete code of class and its usage can be found here
http://www.webkami.com/programming/php/php-secure-class-to-avoid-xss
I am posting the usage below.
<?
//for url variables
$req = new requestGet();
echo "Int:".$req->getVarInt("id")."<br />";
echo "Alpha:".$req->getVarAlpha("name",4)."<br />";
//for form variables
$req = new requestPost();
echo "Int:".$req->getVarInt("id")."<br />";
echo "Alpha:".$req->getVarAlpha("name",4)."<br />";
//for cookies
$req = new requestCookie();
echo "Int:".$req->getVarInt("id")."<br />";
echo "Alpha:".$req->getVarAlpha("name",4)."<br />";
//for your own variables, set your values to an item in an array and you can modify the array
$filter["id"]=4;
$filter["name"]="Ali";
$req = new requestFilter($filter);
echo "Int:".$req->getVarInt("id")."<br />";
echo "Alpha:".$req->getVarAlpha("name",4)."<br />";

With the arrival of the Google Web Accelerator, the problem of keeping track of users through $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] (for a much shorter while than with cookies) has reared its ugly head anew.
For those confronted with this issue, remember that Google implements the $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] header giving the IP address of the connection that it proxies.

My web host server will give my php the user preferred languages out over the order.This means that I had to write a function for ordering the languages based upon their "q" value (rank from 1..0, 1 being the most preferred).If you want an ordered list of user preferred languages use this function:
<?php
function orderedLanguages()
{
$languages = split(",", $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] );
$lang_q = Array();
foreach( $languages as $aLang ) {
$lang_array = split(";q=", trim( $aLang ) );
$lang = trim( $lang_array );
if( !isset( $lang_array ) )
$q = 1;
else
$q = trim($lang_array);
$lang_q["$lang"] = (float)$q;
}
arsort($lang_q);
//extra code for making the languages key indexed
$i = 0;
$lang_index = Array();
foreach($lang_q as $lang => $q) {
// $lang_q[$i] = $lang; //add to the same array the index key/language
$lang_index[$i] = $lang; //add to a new array the index key/language
$i++;
}
//return $lang_index; // uncomment for returning array with keys={0..n-1}, values={most..least preferred}
return $lang_q;
}
?>
While you can't reference the key by number, You can use foreach to pull elements.This will be in order. So getting the key with array_keys should work in the preferred order too.I've added a few extra lines of commented code for reordering the array into one(s) that reference the language by number (if you need it) :D

Matt Johnson says that one should never urldecode() $_GET data. This is incorrect.
If magic_quotes_gpc is turned off in php.ini, then you *do* need to urldecode() $_GET data.
Having magic_quotes_gpc turned off is considered good practise.

Sorry if this is old news to some, but it might not be obvious at a first glance:
If you are using $_SERVER['remote_addr'] as a way to keep track of a logged-in user (this can be useful to avoid several types of hacking), remember that it might not be the user's actual IP address!
I was trying to implement a login feature that used this, storing the IP into a DB. It went smoothly while on a LAN, but wrecked havoc when accepting outter connections.

if you are trying to use $php_errormsg, it acts more like a function than it does a variable.
example
echo "<h1>";
$php_errormsg;
echo "</h1>";
will output:
<h1><h1>
however, this command
echo "<h1>" . $php_errormsg . "</h1>";
should produce the same thing, yet it produces
<h1></h1>

Running Xitami in Windows 2000 and PHP 4.3.7, nor PHP_SELF or SCRIPT_FILENAME is not availiable. Trying SCRIPT_NAME instead. Here is a function that returns the filename of a script without slashes. Good for use in HTML FORM ACTION=""-arguments...
function getThisFile() {
/* try to use PHP_SELF first... */
if (!empty($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
$strScript = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
/* otherwise, try SCRIPT_NAME */
} else if (!empty($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
$strScript = @$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
/* last resort - quit out and return nothing */
} else {
return null;
}
/* fint last frontslash in filename */
$intLastSlash = strrpos($strScript, "/");
/* check if last backslash is more far away in filename */
if (strrpos($strScript, "$intLastSlash'>\\")>$intLastSlash) {
/* if so, use the backslash position instead */
$intLastSlash = strrpos($strScript, "\\");
}
/* cut out from the last slash and to the end of the filename */
return substr($strScript, $intLastSlash+1, strlen($strScript));
}
Tested on PHP 4.3.7/Win32 and PHP 5.0.3/Linux.
You may add more filepaths to the first if-section
to get more chances to catch up the filename if you can.

A reminder: if you are considering using urldecode() on a $_GET variable, DON'T!
Evil PHP:
<?php
# BAD CODE! DO NOT USE!
$term = urldecode($_GET['sterm']);
?>
Good PHP:
<?php
$term = $_GET['sterm'];
?>
The webserver will arrange for $_GET to have been urldecoded once already by the time it reaches you!
Using urldecode() on $_GET can lead to extreme badness, PARTICULARLY when you are assuming "magic quotes" on GET is protecting you against quoting.
Hint: script.php?sterm=%2527 [...]
PHP "receives" this as %27, which your urldecode() will convert to "'" (the singlequote). This may be CATASTROPHIC when injecting into SQL or some PHP functions relying on escaped quotes -- magic quotes rightly cannot detect this and will not protect you!
This "common error" is one of the underlying causes of the Santy.A worm which affects phpBB < 2.0.11.

hfuecks怎样学习，大家都知道编程是1门很枯燥的事业，所以大家一定要有兴趣，可能刚开始打算学的时候是因为别人说php有多好，php多么流行，但是后来伴随着学习的深入，你的这些 其实也不算什么什么心得，在各位大侠算是小巫见大巫了吧，望大家不要见笑，若其中有错误的地方请各位大虾斧正。 兴趣是最好的老师，百度是最好的词典。 本人接触php时间不长，算是phper中的小菜鸟一只吧。由于刚开始学的时候没有名师指，碰过不少疙瘩，呗很多小问题卡过很久，白白浪费不少宝贵的时间，在次分享一些子的学习的心得。 个人呢觉得，配wamp 最容易漏的一步就是忘了把$PHP$目录下的libmysql.dll拷贝到windows系统目录的system32目录下，还有重启apache。 先学习php和mysql,还有css(html语言很简单)我认为现在的效果比以前的方法好。 首推的搜索引擎当然是Google大神，其次我比较喜欢 百度知道。不过搜出来的结果往往都是 大家copy来copy去的，运气的的概率很大。 其实也不算什么什么心得，在各位大侠算是小巫见大巫了吧，望大家不要见笑，若其中有错误的地方请各位大虾斧正。 使用zendstdio 写代码的的时候，把tab 的缩进设置成4个空格是很有必要的 首先我是坚决反对新手上来就用框架的，因为对底层的东西一点都不了解，造成知识上的真空，会对以后的发展不利。我的观点上手了解下框架就好，代码还是手写。当然啦如果是位别的编程语言的高手的话，这个就另当别论啦。 学好程序语言，多些才是王道，写两个小时代码的作用绝对超过看一天书，这个我是深有体会（顺便还能练打字速度）。 因为blog这样的可以让你接触更多要学的知识，可以接触用到类，模板，js ，ajax 作为一个合格的coder 编码的规范是必须，命名方面我推崇“驼峰法”，另外就是自己写的代码最好要带注释，不然时间长了，就算是自己的代码估计看起来都费事，更不用说别人拉。 Apache不是非得用80或者8080端口的，我刚开始安得时候就是80端口老占用，就用了个 81端口，结果照常，就是输localhost的时候，应该输入为 localhost:81 刚开始安装php的时候，我图了个省事，把php的扩展全都打开啦（就是把php.ini 那一片 extension 前面的冒号全去掉啦），这样自然有好处，以后不用再需要什么功能再来打开。 有时候汉字的空格也能导致页面出错，所以在写代码的时候，要输入空格最好用引文模式。 最后祝愿，php会给你带来快乐的同时 你也会给他带来快乐。 你很难利用原理去编写自己的代码。对于php来说，系统的学习我认为还是很重要的，当你有一定理解后，你可你针对某种效果研究，我想那时你不会只是复制代码的水平了。 至于模板嘛，各位高人一直以来就是争论不休，我一只小菜鸟就不加入战团啦，咱们新手还是多学点东西的好。 首推的搜索引擎当然是Google大神，其次我比较喜欢 百度知道。不过搜出来的结果往往都是 大家copy来copy去的，运气的的概率很大。
