setRealm problem

[cac818]

I'm having a problem on the line (MOD EDIT: comment added to indicate line):

<?php
// example of auth_http the also returns additional information about the user
require_once('config.php');
require_once('PEAR.php');
require_once('db_login.php');
require_once('http.php');
//we use the same connection string as the pear db functions
$AuthOptions = array(
						'dsn'=>"mysql://$user:$pass@$host/$db",
						'table'=>"users",// your table name
						'usernamecol' =>"username", //the table username column
						'passwordcol' =>"password",//the table password column
						'crypttype'=>"md5", //password encryption type in your db
						'db_fields'=>"*"//enabling fetch for other db columns
);
$authenticate = new HTTP ("DB", $AuthOptions);
//set the realm name
$authenticate->setRealm('Member Area'); /* HERE */
//authentication failed error message
$authenticate->setCancelText('<h2>Access Denied</h2>');
//require authentication
$authenticate->start();
//compare username and password to stored values
if ($authenticate->getAuth()){
	session_start();
	$smarty->assign('blog_title',$blog_title);
	$smarty->display('header.tpl');
	//setup session variable
	$_SESSION['username']=$authenticate->username;
	$_SESSION['first_name']=$authenticate->getAuthData('first_name');
	$_SESSION['last_name']=$authenticate->getAuthData('last_name');
	$_SESSION['user_id']=$authenticate->getAuthData('user_id');
	echo "Login successful.  Great to see you ";
	echo $authenticate->getAuthData('first_name');
	echo " ";
	echo $authenticate->getAuthData('last_name').".<br />";
	$smarty->display('footer.tpl');
}
?>

My problem is on the $AUTHENTICATE->SETREALM('MEMBER AREA');. Does this mean I don't have something installed correctly for PEAR? I'm thinking this is the case because I can't seem to figure out how to install PEAR on my hosted web service GoDaddy. Where should I start to try to find a solution?

Thanks in advance for any responses?

You don't need to install PEAR, just have access to the PEAR classes. Installing PEAR just gives you an easy way to install PEAR packages.

What is your problem, exactly? You just said you have a problem on that line. What is the problem?

[cac818]

The problem is that my code stops there and flags an error message.

I don't have the all classes setup for PEAR and I thought installing PEAR on the web server (or some of the required PEAR files in the directory structure) so my initial login page can access the classes/functions/methods would be my best path to getting this right.

[Kudose]

What is the error message was my question.

If you are not getting a fatal error when including the PEAR and HTTP classes, PEAR is available.

[cac818]

I'm getting a Fatal Error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method HTTP::setRealm() in /home/html/SA/index.php on line 18

[Kudose]

HTTP::setRealm is not apart of the PEAR HTTP package.

http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP/docs

[cac818]

What about the PEAR module Auth_HTTP that streamlines the process of user authentication against the db table? At least according to this guide, the Auth_HTTP is used for authentication and the setRealm method is used here.

The Auth_HTTP needs to be installed but I don't know how to install it on the Web Server I'm uploading these files to... if I was running my own Unix server it would be fairly easy but I can't get to the command line of my web server. Do I just install the Auth_HTTP files on my home directory and upload them to my web server?

[Kudose]

Yes, you can copy the files to your web server. Be sure Auth_HTTP.php is in the same directory as PEAR.php

Here is a similar example with setRealm()
I found in the web

Auth_HTTP Example 2 -- Example: A password protected page with multiple rows fetch and md5 password
Example

<?php  

// example of Auth_HTTP implementation with encrypted password and multiple columns fetch

require_once("Auth/HTTP.php");

// setting the database connection options
$AuthOptions = array(
'dsn'=>"pgsql://test:test@localhost/testdb",
'table'=>"testable",                            // your table name 
'usernamecol'=>"username",			// the table username column
'passwordcol'=>"password",			// the table password column
'cryptType'=>"md5",				// password encryption type in your db
'db_fields'=>"*",				// enabling fetch for other db columns
);


$a = new Auth_HTTP("DB", $AuthOptions);

$a->setRealm('yourrealm');			// realm name
$a->setCancelText('<h2>Error 401</h2>');        // error message if authentication fails
$a->start();					// starting the authentication process


if($a->getAuth())				// checking for autenticated user 
{
	echo "Hello $a->username welcome to my secret page <BR>";
	echo "Your details on file are: <BR>";
	echo $a->getAuthData('userid');		// retriving other details from the database row
	echo $a->getAuthData('telephone');      // in this example the user id, telephone number
	echo $a->getAuthData('email');		// and email address
};
?>

Thanks for the support and I apologize if this seems a bit thick.

I've loaded the PEAR.php and Auth_HTTP.php in the same directory and I'm getting the following error:

Warning: unpack() [function.unpack]: Type V: not enough input, need 4, have 0 in /home/content/ITQHome/SA/PEAR.php on line 490

Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in /home/content/ITQHome/SA/PEAR.php on line 493

Notice: Uninitialized string offset: 0 in /home/content/ITQHome/SA/PEAR.php on line 494
Phar is incompatible API version 0.0.0, but PHP_Archive is API version 1.0.0

The lines in PEAR.php surrounding this are the following:

private static function _unserializeManifest($manifest)
{
// retrieve the number of files in the manifest
$info = unpack('V', substr($manifest, 0, 4));
$apiver = substr($manifest, 4, 2);
$apiver = bin2hex($apiver);
$apiver_dots = hexdec($apiver[0]) . '.' . hexdec($apiver[1]) . '.' . hexdec($apiver[2]);
$majorcompat = hexdec($apiver[0]);
$calcapi = explode('.', self::APIVersion());
if ($calcapi[0] != $majorcompat) {
throw new Exception('Phar is incompatible API version ' . $apiver_dots . ', but ' .
'PHP_Archive is API version '.self::APIVersion());
}

Version problems are now the issue and I'm not sure of the best way of getting around this issue. I've searched around but have not come up with much. Anymore helpful guidance?
