Date warning php 5 using date_default_timezone_set

Post by darknkreepy3# »

When older tutorials allow you to use Date to get date and time for your script in php, now it is better and almost forced to use a new way to lock down where the script is running to have server side date and time fixed properly.

so when you do this for a sendmail etc...

Code: Select all

$bodycopy=date("F j, Y, g:i a")."\n";
put this first so it gives [date] a bit more data

Code: Select all

date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");
Together it would look like this:

sendmail.php (from a form that's action is sendmail.php)

Code: Select all

<?php
	/*

	test-sendmail-html.php v1.0 version works with

		html
		verizon fios dynamic ip
		sendmail.exe
		windows 7
		apache 2.2.1.7
		php 5.2.6

		fName
		fEmail
		fSubject
		fMessage
		
		date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");
	*/
	$to_root="../../";
	//simple loop to recode post into usable vars
	foreach($_POST as $key=>$val)
		{
		${$key}=$val;
		}
	//new security for php, not just date
	date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");
	$bodycopy=	date("F j, Y, g:i a")."\n";
	
	$bodycopy.=	"<p>$fMessage</p>";

	// In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we should use wordwrap()
	$bodycopy=	wordwrap($bodycopy,40);
	$site=		"www.supercala.net";
	$fromE=		$fEmail;
	$title=		"$site: Contact Message";
	$toE=		"kristoffe.brodeur@verizon.net";
	$message="
		<html>
			<body>
				<h3>CONTACT MESSAGE FROM</h3>
				<h4>$site</h4>
				<h4>$fName</h4>
				<h4>$fIP</h4>
				$bodycopy
				<hr />
			</body>
		</html>";	

	//html version(line2 of $headers);
	$headers =
		'From: '.$fromE."\r\n".
		'Content-type: text/html'."\r\n".
		'Reply-To: '.$fromE."\r\n".
		'X-Mailer: PHP/'.phpversion();

	// Send
	echo "status:".mail($toE,$title,$message,$headers);				
?>

<script>
	//location.href="<?php echo $to_root;?>mS/contact/thankyou.php";
</script>
and here is the form itself

Code: Select all

<?php
	//-----found at roshanbh.com.np
	function getRealIpAddr()
		{
		//check ip from share internet
		if(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))
			{$ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];}
		//to check ip is pass from proxy	
		elseif(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))
			{$ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];}
		else
			{$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];}
		return $ip;
		}
	$visitor_ip=getRealIpAddr();	
?>
