Question regarding php files in apex bundle apex_4.0.2.zip

hi
please suggest why we have php files in apex ? I belive the spell checker textarea feature is removed from 4.0.2 but still there are some php files found in apex bundle and cause of this we have one vulnarability issue “Upgrade to PHP version 5.3.12 / 5.4.2 or later. A 'mod_rewrite' workaround is available as well.”
Please suggest if we can remove these files or they are really necessary and should stay in images folder ?
folder: \images\fck\editor\dialog\fck_spellerpages\spellerpages\server-scripts
spellchecker.php
spellchecker.cfm
spellchecker.pl

Hi Sachin,
you can remove the "server-scripts" folder. In newer versions of APEX this folder is not included anymore.

  • Question regarding php form

    Hi everyone and thank you for  reading my question, I have whats hopefully a quick and easy fix: I  followed the instructions on the dreamweaver help site to make a contact  form. Instaed of having it redirected to a conformation page I would  just like it to say "thank you, message sent" below the submit button.  Can you let me know how I can make that possible?
    Here is the  contact.php that i have now
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC  "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    </html>
    Thank you,  thank you, thank you

    Hi
    First please do not post the same question twice, even if they are in different sections of the forum.
    In your php file replace -
    mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, 'From:  '.$emailadd.'');
    echo  '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0;  URL='.$url.'">';
    with
         $success = mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, 'From:  '.$emailadd.'');
        if ($success) {
          $responseText =  "Thank you for your contact/feedback!";
        exit();
    Then use javascript to echo the message, (this is jQuery)
    function showResponse(responseText)  {
             $('.response').text(responseText);
    Then in your html include a tag (possibly p tag) with a class of response to display the message.
    No error message is shown here but you should include one in the if($success).

  • Waveburner;  a few Questions regarding track files and Session Data

    After a bit of negotiating, I'm almost ready to burn. Was having problems with file locations and discovered that i had multiple files in different locations. Those have been eliminated and all relative track files are in one place now with the Song Data File as well.
    I then re-imported the individual aif tracks only to find that all of my fades and edits are GONE. It appears that I may have to DO THEM ALL OVER AGAIN! Please tell me that there is a work around.
    Is it possible to import only the Session Data related to the fades and edits(everything but the actual audio files), so as to avoid all this "do-again" work?
    I was also wonder if it is necessary, or perhaps a good idea, to change the File INFO for each of the individual audio track files from "OpenWith" iTunes (default setting) to "Open With": WAVEBURNER ?. (selectable on the aiff files, "Show More Info" window
    Currently the aif files are set to "OpenWith" iTunes (default)
    One last question please.
    Is Waveburner really up to snuff? How many people are using this for Mastering and Burning CD's? I'm about to start inserting some AU Mastering Plug Ins and I'm hoping for the best. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    You're grammer isn't bad jord, it was I who asked a plethora of questions under one Subject heading.
    When i open the project file(.wb3),
    The prompt says;
    "Please choose a replacement from the list below:"
    /Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/1 Track 01.aiff
    /Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/2 Track 02.aiff
    /Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/3 Track 03.aiff
    /Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/4 Track 04.aiff
    /Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/6 Track 06.aiff
    As you can see the files are in the trash.
    The first problem is that there are no actual files in the trash. Just an icon of a CD Disc which was dragged there to eject it, It is no longer in the disc drive/tray. Perhaps i should put the disc back in the drive and then update/replace the files afterwords. (The CD is scratched.)
    The strange thing is that i can still preview the track that's in the trash by selecting More Info and playing it on the little Quicktime player bar. I guess the file is in a cache somewhere?
    I've looked everywhere on all drives for the specific files but can not find them anywhere.
    In the Replacement prompt there is a place that I can check to "Search in the same folder for subsequent files" button on the "Replacement" prompt.
    which "same folder" is it refering to?
    The Trash folder where the old files are or the Folder where the actual .wb3 project file is? I do have all of the correctly named song files/regions in the same folder with the project file.
    maybe i should just start again. i'm not one to give up easy though and would much prefer to "beat" the computer at the game.

  • General question regarding environment files in APPL_TOP

    Hi. I will be passing my OCP (hopefully) next month and I am now turning my head to teh Applications side since my job involves a lot of Oracle Financials.
    I just did a clean installation of 11.5.10.2 but at the level of seeting environment files, my boss swooped in and did them all. I would love to know which ones need changing, or even which ones do what ...
    I am using the Oracle doc Re: Generate the Database Context File
    to follow with, but what I see before me in our own (9i, AIX 5.2) set up doesnt always mirror what the doc says.
    I need some general information about these env. files. In our <ORA>APPL directory we have the following env. files:
    APPSORA.env
    DEV.env
    DEV_davidcl.env
    APPSDEV_davidcl.env
    DAVIDCUST.env (I have changed our firm's name to David)
    In the doc, it explains that there is a "main applications env file", and a consolidated applications file". <CONTEXT_NAME>.env and APPS<CONTEXT_NAME>.env respectively. Which ones are those in my directory listing?
    I have also checked in the .profile of the appcldev and the appdbdev users, and they both point to the same two environment files -
    $APPL_TOP/DAVIDCUST.env
    and
    $APPL_TOP/APPSORA.env
    Sorry this is a bit scrambled message - is there any other source out there to explain environment files?
    Thanks
    DA

    Thanks - they are the same! That's why the DEV_davidcl.env has all the parameters that according to the doc APPDDEV_davidcl.env should have.
    Thanks - very helpful. The DBA here never has any time to explain this stuff, since I think he's been doing it for so long that he doenst understand why anyone would not know it too. Its very hard working for him sometimes since nothing is explained.
    All of my questions are stemming from this clean installation of 11.5.2 that I have done.
    I am still wondering about the .profiles of each user we have on the system though. I understand that we had to copy the profiles from TEST to this, our DEV side, then we edited the profiles to match the DEV parameters. Fine.....but the actual .env files themselves - I am looking at them and dont understand at all.
    Each .profile and each user are as follows:
    appdbdev:
    appdbdev@TEST:more .profile
    APPL_TOP=/oradbi3/oracle/testappl;export APPL_TOP
    . $APPL_TOP/DAVIDCUST.env
    . $APPL_TOP/APPSORA.env
    appcldev:
    appcldev@TEST:more .profile
    APPL_TOP=/oracli3/oracle/devappl;export APPL_TOP
    . $APPL_TOP/DAVIDCUST.env
    . $APPL_TOP/APPSORA.env
    So these two, both on the cl node, appear to be pointing to same env files.
    Then comes the db node:
    oradbdev:
    oradbdev@TEST:more .profile
    . /oradbi3/oracle/devdb/9.2.0/DEV_daviddb.env
    . /oradbi3/oracle/devappl/DAVIDCUST.env
    I think I can understand the .env that are pointed to on the cl node, but I dont understand the oradbdev .profile, since its pointing to oradbi3/oracledevdb for one env file, then oradbi3/oracle/devappl for another.
    I asked our DBA about this, and he said "dont worry about it". I have to try and run the script to start the application server this morning, but every time I try to su to the db node user I get this:
    doralcl:/> su - appdbdev
    .profile[2]: /oradbi3/oracle/devappl/DAVIDCUST.env: not found.
    Like I mentioned, I pinted this out to our DBA and he told me not to worry.

  • Another question regarding smil files and NPR

    I'm having troube listening to NPR smil files. I've read the previous posts regarding this issue, but seem to be experiencing a different twist. There are no files downloading to play when I click on "listen". When I click the "listen" button a QT safari screen appears and I get a spinning arrow with heading "downloading". However, nothing ever downloads to my desk top. This is very strange as just last weekend I downloaded NPR files and they were saved to my desktop as Real Time files and I was able to play with them with no problem. I've done nothing to QT or RT in the mean time.
    I've tried the previous suggestions posted of going to the Get Info section of a previously downloaded smil file and changing the settings to say all smil files should play with RT - restarted my computer - nothing. Help!

    Was able to figure this out myself. Had to go into QT preferences and elect to not play smil type files and go in to RT and re-elect to play smil files using RT. Restarted my computer and it works like a charm.

  • Question regarding transferring files to my other computer - ???

    Hi, I have a question ... Here's the background ~ I have two iPods (iPod touch and iPod nano, older model) and want to be able to sync them with the laptop my brother gave me. It's a Dell, running Windows Vista - Business version (??)... I'm in the process of moving all my files over, or rather, I would like to move all my files over from my eMac (Mac OSX 10.4.11) to the Dell and then replace my eMac with a newer desktop computer because the eMac has been running poorly for some time now. My other files moved over fine but the stuff I've downloaded from the iTunes store doesn't move properly, much of it says it can't be moved from the eMac. Some of it came over... the newer shows, for example (Fringe, and Dr. Horrible) but all the shows I've downloaded for my kids won't move over. It's not an issue of hard drive space, as I have plenty. And I've checked authorization ~ both computers are authorized, so I should be able to move it right?? But the iPods refuse to sync with the Dell.
    What's going on? I feel like an idiot (and probably am :: lol :: )
    Thanks in advance =^_^=

    Am I able to just "plug and play" or do I need to download the software that came with my HD to my computer first?
    You can use the hard drive as is; the software is intended for Windows and/or is intended for a specific purpose beyond simply storing data on the drive, such as automated backups.
    Secondly, how do I transfer my iTunes and iPhoto files over to the HD and retain my playlists and photo albums?
    Create a new Finder window, click on the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon, and then drag the items Music/iTunes/ and Pictures/iPhoto Library/ to the drive. You may want to erase the drive in the Disk Utility, which is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, first.

  • Silly question regarding exporting files

    If you export as png 8, 24, 32, whatever, does the original
    FW file remain the same? In other words, when you export as gif or
    jpeg you literally create a new file. When exporting as png you
    don't? How then to differentiate between, say, a png 32 and the
    original FW file?

    As long as you do not use the same file name in your export,

  • BPC 7.5 NW SP5 - Question regarding Transformation file for exporting data

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to export data from a BPC application to App.server/UJFS. There are currently 13 dimensions in the application. The user requires the output file to contain only three dimensions followed by the amount(signdata), namely
    | COSTCENTER | ACCOUNT | TIME | AMOUNT |.
    How do i handle the same in transformation file?
    Currently i am using the following transformation file but i am having issues validating it.
    *OPTIONS
    FORMAT = DELIMITED
    HEADER = YES
    OUTPUTHEADER=*COSTCENTER,ACCOUNT,TIME, PERIODIC
    DELIMITER = ,
    AMOUNTDECIMALPOINT = .
    SKIP = 0
    SKIPIF =
    VALIDATERECORDS=NO
    CREDITPOSITIVE=YES
    MAXREJECTCOUNT=
    ROUNDAMOUNT=
    *MAPPING
    COSTCENTER=*COL(2)
    ACCOUNT=*COL(4)
    TIME=*COL(13)
    AMOUNT=*COL(14)
    I tried to remove the OUTPUTHEADER from *options and tried but it still gives the same issue.
    Please help me as to how i can handle this scenario.
    Thanks,
    Victor

    The 'Export' data package which comes as part of a support pack enhancement does not support using Transformation/Conversion files to modify data prior to transport.
    Please refer to section 3 (Limitations) in the below how to guide.
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/bpx/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0427318-5ffb-2b10-9cac-96ec44c73c11?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
    Hence your only option is to manually massage data in the spreadsheet after exporting.

  • Question Regarding Sending Files to a servlet

    hi to all!
    juz want to ask if there are ways to send a file to a servlet? is it by using FileConnection API? how can i send a specific file to a servlet?
    thanks for the response in advance!
    mark

    Exactly! but you can also use simple InputStream or ServeltInputStream:
    (this code is located in the servlet request processing method.....)
            ServletInputStream si=request.getInputStream();
            byte [] buffer =new byte[1024];
            int ch;
            int index=0;
            while ((ch = si.read()) != -1 && index<buffer.length-1) {
                buffer[index]=ch;
                index++;
            }

  • Buying a new MAC..question regarding moving files

    I have an iMAC that is many years old. I also have a Powerbook which is approx. 3 yrs old. I'm considering buying a new MAC. I'm into photography and need lots of hard drive and the newer screens are much more inviting. Anyway, I know when I purchased the laptop I connected it to the iMAC and it loaded all the programs, fonts, etc so I could just start using the laptop with all the things I had on my iMAC. Since both of my machines are quite old I have lots of stuff on them that quite frankly I'm not smart enough to know that I don't need. I don't want to immediately fill up hard drive space on my new machine with things that are worthless. Is there a way of getting things I need and use onto my new computer (like website downloaded fonts, actions, effects) without getting the worthless stuff? Thank you so much.

    your case must be similar to mine - below is the final of what I did:
    for the entire history of the problem see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6864711&#6864711
    my final reply: I managed to do it using ethernet cable!
    I did erase and install on MBP while having it etherned to MB then when it comes to the screen when it asks: do you want to transfer... i chose from another mac. then comes the option use firewire or small button: use ethernet. Pressed it and I get info:
    put the install dvd 1(MBP) into your other computer and install: DVD or CD sharing setup
    so when you put MBP install DVD into MB you get window and among other things there's a folder: optional installs and there this DVD or CD setup
    Then when Migrating Assistant is open on MB comes up a dialogue box and then there is an option transfer to another Mac
    'your info has been transfered succesfully'
    I had to do it using ethernet cable - $3.95 for firewire it's incredibly cheap - but I don't live in the US - here this cable costs around $50
    thanks for the time and help!

  • Several questions regarding File Vault

    Hi!
    I have several questions regarding File Vault - right now I'm using Mac OS 10.4.8
    1.: The battery lock of my iBook is defect thus it happens from time to time that while transporting it the battery drops out while the laptop is sleeping. What happens with the File Vault-disk image?
    2.: I want to (have to ) set up my Intel iMac again. The installer-CD I have will bring it back to 10.4.6
    AFAIK the data format used for File Vault since 10.4.7 is version 2. What happens if I encrypt my stuff now (10.4.8 - thus version 2), back it up to my backup disc, install a new system (10.4.6 - therefore version 1) and want to access my data via Migration Manager (don't want to use archive and install)?
    3.: How do I actually do a backup of my data while the system is running? The backup should be encrypted as well.
    I use the demo-version of SuperDuper for backing up my system because with it I can ensure that I have a complete bootable backup of my running system.
    Thanks for your answers in advance
    ibook g4 12" 1.2 GHz 768 MB RAM / Intel iMac Core 2 Duo 17" 2.0 GHz 2GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Parker,
    You said:1. If it did, Apple would not use FileVault, as everyones computer will have a battery problem once in their life, and Apple would lose buisness from angry people who lost all of their data.I have seen enough reports of data loss with FileVault that I feel compelled to dispute your statement.
    In Data corruption and loss: causes and avoidance, Dr. Smoke writes...If your data-security needs demand FileVault, you should backup your encrypted Home folder regularly, preferably daily. Like any hard drive or disk image, a Home folder protected by FileVault — an encrypted, sparse disk image — does not respond well to the causes of data corruption...Loss of power definitely is a cause of data corruption.
    For Niels....,
    An Unencrypted Look at FileVault, by François Joseph de Kermadec is an excellent discussion of the features, pitfalls, and cautions regarding Filevault.
    Although the article discusses Panther and is dated 12/19/2003, the concepts as they apply Tiger have not changed.
    The cautions and warnings are prominent in any of the Apple Knowledge Base articles referring to the use of FileVault. If a user is unfamiliar with any aspect of FileVault, it should not in my opinion be activated.
    As good as FileVault is in protecting your sensitive data, it also presents the danger of locking up your files in an irretrievable ball of one's and zero's. Backups are critical. You must ensure that you have a comprehensive backup plan. Backup and Recovery, by Dr. Smoke is a fine example of what you need to consider.

  • Questions regarding Alert log & Control file

    Hello,
    This is my first post to this forum. I'm new at administrating a database 11.2.0.3. I have couple of questions regarding Oracle DB.
    1)Which one is preferred method among the two?
       Checking alert log fie manually or automating a shell script for checking alert log file.
    2) Does setting CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME parameter to zero make the database unrecoverable, if RMAN recovery catalog is not used?
    Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Regards

    1)Which one is preferred method among the two?
       Checking alert log fie manually or automating a shell script for checking alert log file.
    That depends on your comfortability - But checking alert log is good.
    2) Does setting CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME parameter to zero make the database unrecoverable, if RMAN recovery catalog is not used?
    Yes - you cannot recover your database if it set zero and doesn't have recovery catalog.

  • Questions regarding the APEX sample shopping cart

    I am fairly new to APEX development, but had a few questions regarding the sample APEX shopping cart:
    1) is there a way to integrate Google check out payments with the sample APEX shopping cart
    2) is there any way to list a service, that involves monthly recurring payments
    3) is there any other shopping cart that is APEX based that is available
    Thank you,
    Ashok

    Hi Sam,
    i am haveing a deadline monitoring for my shopping cart where remainders are going to generate for first day and the second day, after both the remainders generated and the approver changing the cost center or asset or order at that time, the workflow flow should retrigger and send the approval mail to the new approver, but it is not going to the new approver, so the workflow is not triggering in my case. so i need to restart my workflow again if any changes occurs.
    in the second point my functional guy says that, when the approver changes any text or any date like that it should come for the accept changes, and when he sees the approval preview, only the approval person should be there but not the creator person in the preview and when the creator of the sc accepts the changes it is showing that it is approved by the creator name but he says that it should the approver name not the creator name.
    so can you please help me in this to get the solution.
    thanks in advance

  • I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro

    I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
    These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
    A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
    The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
    Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
    It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
    My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
    I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
    QUESTION 1:
    I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
    If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
    Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
    I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
    QUESTION 2:
    I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
    Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
    Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
    QUESTION 3:
    Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
    Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
    QUESTION 4:
    Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
    QUESTION 5:
    If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
    Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.

    Well said.
    Steps to set up RAID
    Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
    1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
    2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
    3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
    4. Name the RAID set.
    5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
    6. Click Create.
    Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
    1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
    2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
    3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
    4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
    5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
    6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
    7. Click Rebuild.

    Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
    Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
    What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
    A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
    /Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
    Media files as needed.
    Things that hurt performance:
    Page outs
    Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
    SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.

    Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.
