    You bet it was, and a massive self inflicted bruise on my shin...

    Hi all, While making some page presentation adjustments to my website, I came across a problem which I am hoping someone else has encountered, and consequently can help me with. I was comparing the presentation of my pages between my pc and my partners' laptop to fine tune the pages presentation between the different screen sizes when some unwanted links appeared on the the laptop's browser but not on my pc. When I checked the browser source code, there was no code related to the link, it displayed as text, as it should, but the link exists. The unwanted link has picked up the CSS link formatting attributes. I contacted my ISP and they confirm the server side is fine, and they could not replicate the problem. A possible explanation they gave is, that the laptop's browser must have some undesirable plugin, but they are not sure what can be done to prevent this. The page has no input, just text, and all my other input fields throughout the site have been sanitized. I suggested that encrypting the page transmissions with SSL might solve the problem, but they did not think this would the solution. If someone has encountered this type of issue and provide a solution I would be extremely grateful. Thank You, Derek

    Hi, By the way the problem that existed in the "select other properties" script, was that the first line of code was empty. Must have hit enter by my mistake on the first line when doing the code for the script. I knew I would end up kicking myself. Cheers Derek

    Thanks for that Margaux, and sorry I am only responding now (hectic times). With the help from this board and some revision, all my issues around db_sessions are now resolved. Thank you to everyone. Cheers Derek

    Thanks for that HartleySan, but would that apply if ob_start() is used

    Hi HartleySan, No they all emailed. (Are you asking about the error messages?)

    Hello all, All my scripts using database sessions work fine, except for this one..... Probably kick myself when I finally get the light bulb to go on. Here is some of the relevant code and accompanying errors, hope somebody can help me. <?php require_once('./includes_proc/config.inc.php'); $page_title = 'Select My Other Properties'; include('./includes_proc/header_c5.php'); if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) { if(isset($_POST['prop'])) { $new_prop = (int) $_POST['prop']; etc.... The header script that gets included... <?php /* * This page begins the HTML header for the site. * The header alse creates the right hand column. * This page call session_start() * */ // Start session if not logged in if(!isset($_SESSION['in'])) { ob_start(); require_once('db_sessions.inc.php'); } // Check for a $page_title value: - etc.......... The script starting db_session.... # **************************** # # ***** END OF FUNCTIONS ***** # # **************************** # // Declare the functions to use: session_set_save_handler('open_session', 'close_session', 'read_session', 'write_session', 'destroy_session', 'clean_session'); // Make whatever other changes to the session settings. // Start the session: session_start(); - ( Line 123) ?> An abbreviated version of the error data..... An error occurred in script '/home/luxacom/public_html/ busapp_proc/includes_proc/db_sessions.inc.php' on line 123: <br />session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/luxacom/public_html/busapp_proc/sel_prop.php:2) <br />Date/Time: 4-21-2013 15:43:04 <br /><pre>Array ( [_REQUEST] => Array ( [phpSESSID] => 058975b6b1eb4dc22bc8cf28b31fd0 80 ) [contact_email] => luxadry@gmail.com [local] => [debug] => [dbc] => mysqli Object ( ) [page_title] => Select My Other Properties [sdbc] => mysqli Object ( ) [HTTP_SESSION_VARS] => Array ( [op_units] => 1 [van] => 3 [agent] => f76e1da45697f2bea834d3cc529b10fb [cid] => 526 [in] => 526 => mentone@gmail.com [id_prop] => 567 [cust_type] => residential [mult_props] => 1 ) [_SESSION] => Array ( [op_units] => 1 [van] => 3 [agent] => f76e1da45697f2bea834d3cc529b10fb [cid] => 526 [in] => 526 => mentone@gmail.com [id_prop] => 567 [cust_type] => residential [mult_props] => 1 ) ) </pre> <br /> Hope this makes sense Derek

    Hi HartleySan, I managed to get over the initial problems thanks. Things tend to get a bit panicky when everything works perfectly on your local site, and a few problems pop up when going live, late at night, oh boy. Cheers Derek
  10. Derekd
    Just been doing that thanks Paul. When I put it into my header just before starting db_sessions I get a 404 message - url not found after logging in. When I recall the url for the site, I find I'm logged in. Probably something to do with how the VPS is setup? Cheers Derek
  11. Derekd
    Hi Paul, Sorted the database thing out at last but now I'm getting the dreaded headers already sent when logging out. Everything worked great on my local PC. The mysteries of change never seems to abide! Did you experience that too.? Cheers Derek
  12. Derekd
    Hi Paul, Did you initially experience any database connection issues, even the support team at the ISP appear to be stumped. We have tried numerous things but still can't seem to make a database connection??? Cheers Derek

    Thanks again for the input from everybody. You right Larry, I invested in a good service provider (which I got from this forum - thanks), and to compromise the integrity and responsibility to existing and future customers would not be wise.
  14. Derekd
    Thank you fo all the input, helps me to connect a few more dots. The main concern I have about SSL is the overhead it incurs, and you might end up with a very slow responding site. The costs associated with quality certificates are also substantial. From a purely marketing perspective I am concerned about the messages that the browser gives to the user when accessing an HTTP:// site versus a HTTPS:// site. Just as an aside how long on average does it take for new private nameservers to propagate??? Mine has been going for nearly 12 hours and still no luck with getting into my site. Cheers Derek
  15. Derekd
    Thanks for that HartleySan, that makes sense now, I will implement that asap. I have been pretty diligent in type casting $_GET ID's and validating them against the database, with some referential integrity checks across the database and exiting back to the index page if things do not tie up. I have also stored my session data in a database to tighten things up. My site will not be doing any e-commerce type transactions, but I still feel protecting customer names, addresses and contact details is stil crucially important. I got Larry's e-commerce book more for the security aspect than the payment gateways. I have been toying with the idea of purchasing a digital certificate and using SSL around the registration and login scripts, but am not sure if this is necessary. I am however concerned about customers not engaging with the site because of this?

    Hi Paul, Thank you for your input. I have amazed myself and got my data and scripts across. My next dilemma and uncertainty is whether I've got my PHP scripts in the correct place. According to the documentation, my path structure looks like the following: home/luxacom/ - Is described as "home directory - all files stored here are not visble on the internet. home/luxacom/www/ - Public HTML directory, contains the files for your site. File and sub directories will be viewable by anyone on the internet. This has confused me in that it seems all my PHP scripts should go in home/luxacom/www/php_code, and my includes folder should be home/luxacom/www/php_code(not real name)/includes. But if it is viewable by everyone on the internet!, would that mean the pages or the directories and it's content. The other option would be to put the includes directory in home/luxacom/includes/, which is the opposite to how I had it on my localhost, not sure now....??? I have used Larry's config.inc code and the system checks whether the code is running on a loclhost or live host. I have changed my BASE_URL (home/luxacom/www/php_code/)and BASE_URI(home/luxacom/www/php_code/includes) constants to reflect the above. I think the next step is to activate the DNS. Will carry on afresh tommorrow. Thanks again for the help Paul, it is great that you doing this too, me thinks I'll be bending your ear a lot, if you don't mind. Kind Reagrds Derek

    Hi everone, I am rapidly approaching the daunting prospect of going live. I have registered with a reputable service provider. Being a newbie, I am desperately trying to get my mind around cPanel and WHM. My initial impression is that getting my content installed on the VPS is quite a task. My question is, should I be doing it, or should I be asking the ISP's support staff to do it for me?
  18. Derekd
    Hi Larry, Thank you for your reply, it has given me new perspective, commenting out exit() is not the solution. I think I found the problem, in that I used the same principle as the session.php script (to use session handlers), to place the session_write_close() at the end of the login.php script. If you exit the script straight after the header("Location: $url") to the index page the session_write_close will not be executed. Modified the script to put the session_write_close() just before exit() and it seems to be working. Thanks for your help Larry.
  19. Derekd
    Hi, Just worked out that the exit() function is destroying session data. My next concern is that if just using the header function without an exit function are you not creating additional overhead moving from one script to the next. The site wil use a shopping cart and other functionality etc. Would this be acceptable? or is there another solution?
  20. Derekd
    Hi Larry, First time post for me. Thank you for your wonderful books, which have helped me make PHP a fantastic new hobby/reality for me. Have worked through PHP6 and Mysql5, currently working through PHP 5 advanced edition 2 and Effortless E-Commerce. Recently purchased Modern Javascript. I am still very much a novice and would appreciate help with the following. I am attempting to improve the security of my site by storing session data in a database, before going live, and experiencing some problems. The session handler seems to be working, but when logging in the session data disappears after transferring to the index url via header("header("Location: $url");"). The session data is in the sessions file. Can anybody please help me? P.s When I change the login script to exclude the header function and access the index script manually the session data is there.
