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:
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. bosmeew at gmail dot com 18-Feb-2007 10:43 To get the server address, you can use $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']. However, this only works when your PHP process is running on a webserver, not when running PHP as CLI. Here is a function which will also return the server address when running on linux (eth0 is hardcoded as the network interface, modify if necessary).
function getServerAddress() { if($_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']) { return $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']; }

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.

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. me at tommygeorge dot com 10-Nov-2006 12:59 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...

Alexander Hars 19-Sep-2006 05:16 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 [].

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). justin dot (nospam)george at gmail dot com 01-Mar-2006 04:00 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.

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. geza at turigeza dot com 11-Feb-2006 09:13 Above the manual says

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.

it simply works! chris at vault5 dot com 30-Nov-2005 11:17 Since $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is not always present, the following will provide it where $_SERVER dosen't.
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). lorenpr at gmail dot com 02-Nov-2005 07:04 Here's a simple function that has proven reliable for me in checking if a user has refreshed the current page on a website.

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 ErrorDocument that 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."
D. drew dot griffiths at clare dot net 30-Sep-2005 11:51 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/([A-Za-z0-9-]+) showprofile.php?profile=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
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[3] when used below $url_array=explode("/",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
Hope this helps - Works well for me
Drew jeromenelson at gmail dot com 19-Sep-2005 06:56 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 ...
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's information 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

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.

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

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[0] ); if( !isset( $lang_array[1] ) ) $q = 1; else $q = trim($lang_array[1]); $lang_q["$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 skrollster 27-Mar-2005 12:36 $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] and $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] is the same variable i think.. anonymous 04-Mar-2005 06:12 I don't see the $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"] listed in this document. This displays the username used to login using .htaccess. 28-Feb-2005 10:41 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. 17-Feb-2005 07:30 grlprgrmmr wrote:

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. grlprgrmmr uses gmail 11-Feb-2005 03:05 you can use these to reconstructed the current page url.
If $_SERVER['HTTPS']=='on' does not work for you, try $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']==443 (or whatever secure port is used) JSP001 27-Jan-2005 06:15 Hi dotpointer,
I am new to php but I suggest a little modification of your script. Tell me what you think of it :
Thanks for this great function, I'll use it for my project !
Regards niles AT atheos DOT net 27-Jan-2005 04:51 If your having problems returning $_SERVER variables using apache, be sure you enable:
ExtendedStatus On
in your httpd.conf file.
If it's off, then things like $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] won't be present. marcus at lastcraft dot com 24-Jan-2005 08:02 The variable $php_errormsg is not populated if you have XDebug running. arjini at gmail dot com 19-Jan-2005 08:29 Driven crazy by the lack of consistency with $_SERVER across installations? Check out this chart:
http://www.koivi.com/apache-iis-php-server-array.php roy dot rico at gmail dot com 19-Jan-2005 05:48 if you are trying to use $php_errormsg, it acts more like a function than it does a variable.
example
echo "
"; $php_errormsg; echo "
";
will output:
[the php error]
however, this command
echo "
" . $php_errormsg . "
";
should produce the same thing, yet it produces
[the php error]
not sure if this is a "feature" or a "bug" dotpointer 10-Jan-2005 05:26 Running Xitami in Windows 2000 and PHP 4.3.7, nor PHP_SELF or SCRIPT_FILENAME is not availiable. Trying SCRIPT_NAME instead. Here is a function that returns the filename of a script without slashes. Good for use in HTML FORM ACTION=""-arguments...
function getThisFile() {
/* try to use PHP_SELF first... */ if (!empty($_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. Matt Johnson 26-Dec-2004 08:50 A reminder: if you are considering using urldecode() on a $_GET variable, DON'T!
Evil PHP:
# BAD CODE! DO NOT USE! $term = urldecode($_GET['sterm']); ?>
Good 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 mrnopersonality at yahoo dot com 19-Oct-2004 11:13 Nothing about the message-body ...
You can get cookies, session variables, headers, the request-uri , the request method, etc but not the message body. You may want it sometimes when your page is to be requested with the POST method.
Maybe they should have mentioned $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA or php://stdin
