Yes, it would be great if he could use the already existing username and

I am just now looking into mysql support for pure ftpd. One solution I
have in mind is to write the password into the pureftp DB upon signup.
That would be the easiest. The other solution to write to a conf file
would be OK, too. What do you think?

I would look real seriously at making sure both the FTP software, and
your website use the same authentication database. Even if it means
having to go with a different FTP server, or write your own. That
way, if they change their password on the web site, it will update it
for the FTP automatically as well.
Other then that, No real info to include to help... Sorry for that.

merlin..
if you're going to allow a user to use the same user/passwd for the site,
and the FTP server.. i would strongly argue that you should allow the user
only the minimal access on the FTP server. if someone hacks your site, no
need to have them running rampant over your FTP server.
i would actually argue that you can have the same username, but separate
passwds, but i don'w know exactly what you're going to have on the FTP
server, nor do I know your skill at securing servers/services...
it doesn't really make a difference if you have separate dbs for the
user/passwd auth systems. if you secure the overall system, it's secure. if
you don't, well you're going to run into issues..
you might also look into existing web based mgmt apps for FTP servers to see
if any already exist.

If those xml files not that big, you may consider uploading with php.
Or perhaps you may find an ftp server which can use mysql database for
authentication.
attached mail follows:
Hello everybody,
thank you all for your help. I got a solution running. In pure-ftpd you
can authenticate via mysql. Via a user table, exactly the thing I was
searching for.
However, there is a problem araising. Every user get's his own directory
for uploads. My next step would have been to create a php script which
will be run by cron every 5 minutes that scans one dir and if there is
content inside import it into the mysql db.
With the current setup I would need to scan all dirs to see if there are
changes inside.
Is there some kind of command where I could find out if there are new
files inside those folders? I don't see any other solution.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for any help,

attached mail follows:
are you moving the files from the ftpdir, to a separate dir?
if you are, you can run your cron process from the top level dir... get a
list of any underlying files, and then iterate through the list to copy the
files to whereever you need to copy them...
you'd use the 'ls -R...' or the 'find....' cmd for what you're looking to
do...

This is a very common issue. I searched and found many sites talking
about this. but no good solution.
Well the problem is I want to set my session will expire after 10
minutes of inactivity. Just like an banking site.
When user is inactive for 10 minutes the session will expire. In fact
the browser will delete the cookie.
The browser will delete the cookie because it was told by the server.
I used these lines
session_cache_expire(APP_SESSION_TIMEOUT);
session_set_cookie_params(APP_SESSION_TIMEOUT*60);
ini_set("session.gc_maxlifetime", APP_SESSION_TIMEOUT * 60);
session_start();
It runs at the very beginning of my application. APP_SESSION_TIMEOUT
has value 10 which is in minutes.
The problem is it works good in FF3. But not in IE.
Any Idea how to resolve it? or any standard way to fix it?

I'm not sure if there is any "standard" way to fix it. What I do is
just compare current time with the last action time. If it's bigger
than my timeout, session_destroy().
If anyone has any other ideas, I'd like to hear it. :)

Unless you have taken steps to ensure that the value of $tastes does
not include any HTML markup, you want to escape the value:
<textarea rows="5" name="tastes" cols="28"> <? echo

This is your problem child right here...
Sucking in an entire OGG File to RAM, for a large OGG file, will be quite painful.
And, on a busy server, even moderate size files will be problematic.
You could probably relieve a lot of stress and keep full-size downloads just by doing:
define('CHUNK_SIZE', 2048);
define('DOWNLOAD_LIMIT', 10*1024);
while (!feof($HANDLER)){
echo fread($HANDLER, CHUNK_SIZE);
}
To answer your original question, you would abort this loop partway though, using some kind of counter *= CHUNK_SIZE and compare it to DOWNLOAD_LIMIT.

As I understand it, it was more of a "partially cached" document issue.
If the browser has the first N bytes of a document in its cache, it will send this, I think...

When mentioning the RAM usage problem, one might consider calling flush() after each echo,
just to make sure that they don't run over PHPs memory limit.

Oh yeah.
Make sure you've run through and cleared all ob_buffers for any kind of non-HTML output, specifically for file downloads.
You really don't want your web server buffering up a potentially large streamable content just because you've got ob_auto_start or whatever in php.ini, or some kind of main controller calling ob_start() or whatever.
I know a lot of folks swear by ob_start and its benefits, but I mostly find it annoying as a general "solution"...
Didn't even think of that, as I only use ob_start() when I *really* want it, not as a general fix-up.

Historically, mysql has been both an external extension, and a built-in part of the source, depending on the version of PHP.
Your current experience would indicate that it's only external in 5.2.8, but I cannot confirm nor deny that.
How is MySQL installed?
If it's rpm, do you have mysql-devel or whatever also installed? You need this to get /usr/include/mysql* so PHP can link to your /usr/lib/mysql* files.
If you ask for MySQL, but don't provide the headers, ./configure MAY be trying to use an old internal built-in mysql source from php source tree.
This is just a theory.

char: the space required for the length of the field is allocated for
each row no matter how much of it is used.
varchar: only the space required for the content of the field is
allocated per row but these fields are limited to 255 chars (IIRC) in
length.
text: for all intents and purposes these have unlimited length (4GBish IIRC).
There is a page in the MySQL manual that explains all of the data
formats. Google for mysql data formats and you'll likely get it.

This doesn't explain it all, of course, but the most basic explanation is:
CHAR(n) Uses n bytes regardless of length of data
inserted[^1]
VARCHAR(n) Uses strlen+1 bytes[^2]
TEXT Uses the highest amount of minimum bytes,
even for empty[^3]
1: Quick SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE; requires (n) length; maxlength is
255; wastes space.
2: Slow SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE; requires (n) length; maxlength is
65535; doesn't waste space.[^4]
3: Moderate SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE; doesn't require (n); maxlength
is 65535; wastes space.[^5][^6]
4: VARCHAR is further limited to the maximum row size of 65535.
5: TEXT maxlength per column is 65535, but can have multiple
>=65535 columns on same row.
6: TEXT includes four subcategories: TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT,
and LONGTEXT.

It's generally worth mentioning that you can usually index char or
varchar, but not text.

In MySQL, varchar can hold "up to" 65,535 characters, but the actual
maximum size is limited by the maximum row length (65,535 bytes) and the
character set (e.g. utf8 uses between one and three bytes per
character).
Maybe you're thinking of char, which is limited to 255 characters.
Robert Cummings wrote:

No, you can index a text column, but it will only index part of the
column:
"Only the first max_sort_length bytes of the column are used when
sorting. The default value of max_sort_length is 1024." - TFM.
Also, you can create a FULLTEXT index on text columns stored in the
MyISAM engine. (which is a PITA, because if you want ACID transactions
and full-text searching, you need to create and maintain a MyISAM shadow
table of the data you want to full-text search on)

You're referencing the 5.1 manual. In the 5.0 manual it says that
VARCHAR was extended to 65535 in 5.0.3, so you're statement is not
entirely correct, nor was Stuart's. That's why I linked him to the 5.0
manual page on data types.

Good point, thanks! I usually read from the .chm manual but just jumped
to the website to grab a link. Should have been:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-types.html
I note that Stuart was most likely talking about MySQL <= 4 which had a
limit of 255 characters for varchar.

I guess it's time for me to re-read the complete up-to-date manual
too...
"You can have indexes on BLOB and TEXT columns only as of MySQL 3.23.2
for MyISAM tables or MySQL 4.0.14 for InnoDB tables. Previous versions
of MySQL did not support indexing these data types."

My basic idea was to run a php scipt triggered by cron every 5 minutes
that checks if there is a new upload and then reads the file and removes
it. Now here is where the problem starts. Imagine if there are 1000

There must be a better solution to identify the directory that has a

You might do well to ask the Oracle known as Google.
This be what I hit first try with "unix directory change notification":
http://aplawrence.com/Unixart/watchdir.html
The top of the dir tree will tell thee dates and times that contents
changed below/within it, so one could just scan the root 'customer' dirs
first to see which one has been modified, then traverse it and work
thine magic. Order them with this incantation "ls -lct" and pop off the
top ones for 'todays date' or 'hour' or something might also get you
more closer to what you want. rinse. repeat.
