The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Linux environment does not recalled stored value in the os environment

Asked by lin100 in Python Scripting Language

Tags: , ,

I have the code below on a Linux web server. When a user clicked on a web page, the code below got executed. The first time it runs, it gives a time value in second such as 1093274703.0. 10 seconds later, the user clicked the same web page the second time,
and the message "time has exceed 10 seconds" suppose to appear on the web page, but it is not. This happens because the key COOKIE_TIME_STAMP which was created the first time the user click on a web page does not existed when he clicked on the web page a second time.

=================================
def get_cookie():

  found_key = "false"

  cookie = Cookie.SmartCookie()
  cookie.load(os.environ["HTTP_COOKIE"])

  #The second time, the program is run the code below is suppose to be executed, and
  # the key COOKIE_TIME_STAMP suppose to exist and therefore it is executed, but
  # instead the key  COOKIE_TIME_STAMP  does not exist.

  for key, item in cookie.items():
    if key == "COOKIE_TIME_STAMP":
      found_key = "true"
      shell('echo "ok2" >> /usr/apache/html/abc')
      cookie_time_stamp_2 = item.value
      time_difference = time.mktime(time.localtime(time.time())) - float
                                 (cookie_time_stamp_2);
      if (time_difference > 10):
        return "time has exceed 10 seconds"
        break;

  # the first time the program run, the code below is executed.
  # the code below is not suppose to run the second time because
  # on the second time the key COOKIE_TIME_STAMP suppose to exist
  # and therefore found_key is equal to true.

  if found_key == "false":
    cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie()
    cookie["COOKIE_TIME_STAMP"] = time.mktime(time.localtime(time.time()))
    os.environ["HTTP_COOKIE"] = str(cookie)

    cookie = Cookie.SmartCookie()
    cookie.load(os.environ["HTTP_COOKIE"])
    for key, item in cookie.items():
      if key == "COOKIE_TIME_STAMP":
        latest_cookie_time_stamp = item.value
        shell('echo "in else" >> /usr/apache/html/abc')
        break;
      else:
        latest_cookie_time_stamp = 0

    return latest_cookie_time_stamp
