New php trashes Bandwidthspeed ?

hitwalker · Sells PC To Pay For Divorce Joined: Posts: 5661

Ok here a nice chalenge to any phpfreak....

I was using a bandwidth speedtest on my site for some time untill a member maild and said its not working.
So suprised as i was he was right... Sad

Yep maild the author,but no respons...
Then i searched for other sites who are using the script and i did found a few.
Strange to see that their versions were also dead.
Then i realised it had to do with the new php version.
So for some reason there was a change and now its dead.

So i was hoping if someone can see why its not working anymore....

THIS IS THE FILE THAT DOES THE WORK

Code:

<?php include_once("config.inc.php"); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $isp_name; ?> - Bandwidth Meter</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Fri, Jun 12 1981 08:20:00 GMT">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<center>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><?php echo $header; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td><br><br><br><br><br><br><font size=+1>
Conducting bandwidth tests...</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
<script>

</scr ipt>
<?php
$data_file = "payload.bin";
$fd = fopen ($data_file, "rb");
if (isset($_GET['kbps'])) {
$test_kbytes = ($_GET['kbps'] / 8) * 10; //set the download to take 10 seconds
if ($test_kbytes > 3000) {
$test_kbytes = 3000;
}
} else {
$test_kbytes = $default_kbyte_test_size;
}
$contents = fread ($fd, $test_kbytes * 1024);
echo "";
fclose ($fd);
?>
<sc ript>

</sc ript>
<center>
</body>
</html>

So whatever the change was in the new php ,the above doesnt work anymore...

Anybody ?

If you mean 4.3.10 most problems are in the fact that the Zend Engine has changed a bit and requires that you be using the latest release of the Zend Optimizer.

oh ok,but at what point in the script do you see or have an idea where it goes wrong ?

Please post the config.inc.php code.

Thats this...

It's very hard to test when you don't include the entire script. It also requires these files:

payload.bin
results.php

Raven · Posted: Sat Jan 01, 2005 2:27 pm

Why don't you package the application, zip it, and provide a link?

It runs perfectly on my servers (php v4.3.10)

hitwalker · Sells PC To Pay For Divorce Joined: Posts: 5661

well thats weird,but i also have 4.3.10.
does it have anything to do with the few functions that are disabled on the server....(on other topic)

hitwalker · Sells PC To Pay For Divorce Joined: Posts: 5661

gone again ?

hitwalker · Sells PC To Pay For Divorce Joined: Posts: 5661

and what is weird is that if i run the initialmeter.php instead of the meter.php it shows..

bandwidthmeter/meter.php?kbps=3530.6 in the address bar.
But no images...
Any clue?

Raven · Posted: Sat Jan 01, 2005 4:19 pm

None at all since it works here.

hitwalker · Sells PC To Pay For Divorce Joined: Posts: 5661

well how come suddenly the whole image part doesnt work anymore ?
thats why i asked if it has anything to do with the 4 php functions that are disabled on the server...?

These..

system
exec
shell_exec
passthru
chown

Raven · Posted: Sat Jan 01, 2005 4:28 pm

None of those are used afaik. I can't answer your question since I can't reproduce it.

hitwalker · Sells PC To Pay For Divorce Joined: Posts: 5661

ok thanks,then il wait if that gambit idiot responds.

VinDSL · Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2005 6:22 am

Hrm... Interesting script!

I got it working on my site, without much difficulty. The only thing I had to change was the path to the graphics.

Code:

<snip>

/*******************************************************************************

* services the meter compares the current connection to.
******************************************************************************/
$services = array( "28.8" => array ( "name" => "dial-up"
, "image" => "images/1.gif"
)

, "image" => "images/1.gif"

I'm running PHP: 4.3.10 ...

VinDSL · Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2005 10:16 pm

Found another bug...

At the bottom of 'results.php':

Change:

Code:

<?php

if ($mysql == True) {
$link = mysql_connect($database["host"], $database["login"],
$database["password"])
or die("Could not connect");
mysql_select_db($database["database"])
or die("Could not select database");

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$name = gethostbyaddr($ip);
$query = "INSERT INTO readings (speed, ip, name) VALUES ($kbps, '$REMOTE_ADDR', '$name')";
$result = mysql_query($query)
or die("Query failed");
}

?>

To:

Quote:

<?php

if ($mysql == True) {
$link = mysql_connect($database["host"], $database["login"],
$database["password"])
or die("Could not connect");
mysql_select_db($database["database"])
or die("Could not select database");

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$name = gethostbyaddr($ip);
$query = "INSERT INTO readings (speed, ip, name) VALUES ($kbps, '$ip', '$name')";
$result = mysql_query($query)
or die("Query failed");
}

?>

Thank YOU! I'm having a lot of fun with this script!

I've been playing around with it, for the last couple of days, porting it over to Nuke. At first, I debugged the code, then I made a module out of it using @&$^%! iframe. It looked nice, but once I got it up 'n' running, and a few ppl beta tested it, I looked through the results in the sql db and I found out it was wildly inaccurate (at times), especially after doing a 'retest'. Then, it clicked...

I'm running a highly mod'ed version of PHP-Nuke 6.5 Final, using GZIP compression, caching, et cetera. Looking at the source code that the Bandwidthmeter module was generating in Nuke, I started wondering, "How the hell is this thing supposed to work in a compressed and cached environment?"

So, I tried running it in a stand-alone JavaScript popup window, and bada bing, bada boom, it started turning out consistent and highly accurate results.

I don't know if you're running this as a block, module, or popup, but the popup window is the only way to go, IMHO.

Here's the lastest version:

See if it works for you... Wink

hi ,

well it was running on my site...
btw i send you a private message today ?

Anyway....it just stopped working for some weird reason...
in my address bar i se the speed but images simply dont show...

as i wrote ...im beginning to believe this all somehow has to do something with my computer....im not sure...

i have the xp windows firewall off.
all normal configurations in norton 2005 ,never touched anything....

but also weird is that almost at same time i discovered that the database backup function doesnt work for me.

i download a file of 0.0 kb

so im wondering if this is all related...

(and i just tried yours again AND its NOT working...)
