• Python call to PHP - malformed header from script Bad header: Array

  Very strange - I've been using a python script that scrapes data and then passes it to a php-script - Worked like charm for weeks, until today something happened.

  I got the following message from apache2 errorlog:

     malformed header from script 'pytest.py': Bad header: Array
  

  So it seems to be derived from this python script, the php-script is called but there is a server 500 error and the error log tells about a malformed header from python

  python script

  #!/home/john/mydir/my_venv/bin/python3
  
  # enable debugging
  import cgitb
  from bs4 import BeautifulSoup                                       
  from urllib.request import urlopen, Request
  import os
  
  cgitb.enable()
  
  print ("Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n")
  
  url = "https://www.xxxx.."
  
  
  soup = BeautifulSoup(urlopen(url).read())
  
  stockNames = []
  stockClose = []
  stockHigh = []
  stockLow = []
  stockTurnover = []
  
  for tag in soup.select('td[data-title="Namn"]'):    
     name = tag.get_text(strip=True, separator='\n')
     stockNames.append(name)  
  
  for tag in soup.select('td[data-title="Senast"]'):
     close = tag.get_text(strip=True, separator='\n')     
     stockClose.append(close)
  
  
  os.system('php /var/www/html/omx/dataparser.php %s %s'%(stockNames, stockClose))
  

  the php script (snippet)

    <?php
  
  
  if (isset($argc)) {
  
      unset($argv["0"]); // remove first argument i.e. filename
  
      ...
  
  
  }
  

  Any Idea whats wrong, why this suddenly happened? Could a packetsniffer be in place to see whats going on?

• How can I redirect all users via a single page based on admin rights?

  I'm trying to set up a login for website, where a user can have one of three states. I have this set in a connected file called 'authenticate.php' which on login checks my DB for the value "version" where the values can be 1,2 or 3 depending on access level. This file is then set up to redirect set up to one of three different pages, for instance home1.php, home2.php, home3.php. I am happy with having 3 separate pages, as I want this control.

  In the same directory as these files, there is a folder of content which users will only be able to see some of the pages from. For example:

  • website (FOLDER)
    • authenticate.php
    • index.html
    • home1.php
    • home2.php
    • home3.php
    • content (FOLDER)
      • news1.html
      • news2.html
      • news3.html

  The problem is, that with my current implementation, when the user is on any one of these content pages, I can't link them back to the right version of the home page they're meant to be seeing.

  As a solution, I was thinking of using a new file 'home.php' to always direct to, and then redirect the user to where they need to go, as opposed to dealing with all of this in the authentication.php file like I'm doing currently. This would allow me to send the user to home.php, and then they'd be redirected to the version they're meant to see.

  I have used what's happening in the original authenticate.php and I have tried replicating the check to the DB to get the value of "version", but this doesn't seem to be working. As I'm sure is obvious from my code, I am not experienced in PHP I am also unsure whether it's necessary to reconnect to the DB once this has already been made in the session.

  Any help would be really appreciated, as I'm sure there's a better way to do this.

  Thank you!

  Code:

  Authenticate.php

  session_start();
  $DATABASE_HOST = 'localhost';
  $DATABASE_USER = 'john'
  $DATABASE_PASS = 'password';
  $DATABASE_NAME = 'users';
  
  $con = mysqli_connect($DATABASE_HOST, $DATABASE_USER, $DATABASE_PASS, $DATABASE_NAME);
  if ( mysqli_connect_errno() ) {
          exit('Failed to connect to MySQL: ' . mysqli_connect_error());
  }
  
  if ( !isset($_POST['username'], $_POST['password']) ) {
      exit('Please fill both the username and password fields!');
  }
  
  if ($stmt = $con->prepare('SELECT id, password FROM accounts WHERE username = ?')) {
      $stmt->bind_param('s', $_POST['username']);
      $stmt->execute();
      $stmt->store_result();
      
      if ($stmt->num_rows > 0) {
          $stmt->bind_result($id, $password);
          $stmt->fetch();
  
          if ($_POST['password'] === $password) {
              session_regenerate_id();
              $_SESSION['loggedin'] = TRUE;
              $_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['username'];
              $_SESSION['id'] = $id;
              header('Location: home.php');
          } else {
              echo 'Incorrect username and/or password!';
          }
      } else {
          echo 'Incorrect username and/or password!';
      }
  
      $stmt->close();
  }
  

  Home.php

  <?php
  
  session_start();
  if (!isset($_SESSION['version'] == 1 )) {
    header('Location: home1.php');
      exit;
  }
  
  if (!isset($_SESSION['version'] == 2 )) {
      header('Location: home2.php');
        exit;

• How do I redirect a user to a website after a purchase using PayPal smart buttons?

  onApprove: function(data, actions) {
        return actions.order.capture().then(function(details) {
          alert('Transaction completed by ' + details.payer.name.given_name + '!');
          location.href("mywebsite");
        });
      },
  

  I have been trying to find out how to do this for awhile, I have tried "location.replace" as well, but it still didn't work. This is just the basic code that you get when you create a PayPal smart button, all I added was "location.href", but it won't redirect me. I will try my best to answer any questions! Any help on this matter is appreciated!
• How to integrate PayPal Payouts AAC?

  I have been trying to integrate PayPal Payouts (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/payouts/) but it does not seem to work even with a simple setup just to display the Login with Paypal button. I'm trying to setup this https://developer.paypal.com/docs/payouts/features/set-up-assisted-account-creation to get the payer_id. I'll store the payer_id in the database then I'll process these ids with PayPal Payouts batch processing to pay the users.

  This is the simplest setup -

• Allow WordPress to send PayPal payments direct less a percentage

  Thanks for reading this. I work in influencer marketing for UK firms. I run a influencer network of bloggers and want to set up a payment gateway that sends payments directly to the bloggers.

  I connect businesses wanting guest posts, niche links and product reviews with influencers in a specified niche.

  What I an setting up is a directory showing the bloggers, their sites, prices and seo metrics.

  Is there a way on WordPress to allow business customers visiting those pages to pay for a service so bloggers get paid directly less a percentage to my account?

  So, payment goes direct from the page to the bloggers less a percentage of their advertised fee. Since Adaptive Payments was removed, I am not sure how to go about splitting payments at the time of the order.

  Also any advice on how to create the directory appreciated. I am thinking along the lines of a classifieds section at present where bloggers add their own profiles, prices, etc. Thanks in advance for any help.

• Paypal API get authorisation code from code

  I've implemented a Paypal Connect button. This returns a code parameter in the query string.

  I'm unsure as to how to then turn this into an access code. The following code returns a (400) Bad Request error on the CreateFromAuthorizationCode() line:

  var config = ConfigManager.Instance.GetProperties();
  var oAuthCredential = new OAuthTokenCredential(
      Code.Settings.AssetStore.AssetStorePaypalAccountClientID,
      Code.Settings.AssetStore.AssetStorePaypalAccountSecret,
      config);
  var accessToken = oAuthCredential.GetAccessToken();
  var apiContext = new APIContext(accessToken);
  
  var n = new CreateFromAuthorizationCodeParameters();
  n.SetCode(paypalLoginCode);
  n.setClientId(Code.Settings.AssetStore.AssetStorePaypalAccountClientID);
  n.setClientSecret(Code.Settings.AssetStore.AssetStorePaypalAccountSecret);
  n.SetGrantType("authorization_code");

  var info = Tokeninfo.CreateFromAuthorizationCode(apiContext, n);
