Folks,
We're using Doku to handle documentation serve as the company
Intranet. Doku is sweet!
Anyway, I've run into a problem after moving the wiki from Apache on
OS X to IIS on Windows. We have a small custom php/mysql app (stuck
inside an iframe in a doku page via the html tags) that I need to
pass the username of the current logged in user to.
On the OS X / Apache system this was a simple matter of my script
getting it out of the session:
$_SESSION['PioneerWiki']['auth']['user']
However, when I moved to the IIS machine, this broke. I do a print_r
on $_SESSION and it's empty.
Instead of my script directly grabbing the info, I was thinking that
doku could pass it off to my script.
I've tried var plugin (http://wiki.splitbrain.org/plugin:var) and i
can get the username to display in page fine with @USER@, but it
doesn't work inside of links, html, or php snippets, so that's no
good for passing off to my script.
The closest thing i've found is to go into php mode and do
global $USERINFO;
which gets me the doku USERINFO global, which stores some user info.
here's the print_r:
Array ( [pass] => d6e276fc5d9ad90e6120529ae39eb2bf [name] => Paul
Metzger [mail] => pmetzger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [grps] => Array ( [0] =>
admin [1] => it [2] => pioneer ) )
that way I can get the email address (good as username, for my
purposes) with something like
$email=$USERINFO['mail'];
and then pass it off to my script in the querystring, ie
echo("<iframe src=\"/myscript.php?wikiuser=$email\" width=\"100%\"
height=\"1000px\">
Your browser must support iframe for this to work
</iframe>
");
of course, that means that anyone can hit myscript.php independently
of the wiki
/myscript.php?wikuser=whoeveriwant
which is not secure at all
Since it's on the corporate Intranet, the security issue isn't THAT
big of a deal, but I'd still like to do this the RIGHT way.
Stupid Microsoft. The session method worked so well on the Mac.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
Cheers,
Paul
