Checking Administrator Privileges on Powershell

Posted in Windows Powershell | No Comment | 1,478 views | 14/07/2012 21:49

Your script needs “Run as Administrator” privileges? Then you should use this function to check it.

function Confirm-PoSHAdminPrivileges
{
	$User = [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()
	if((New-Object Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal $User).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltinRole]::Administrator))
	{
		$Result = "Validated"
	}
	$Result
}

If you get “Validated” as a output, then you can be sure about administrator privileges.

Adding “Welcome Banner” to your Powershell scripts

If you install Parallels Plesk before, you should be aware about “Welcome Banner” of Plesk. It’s pretty cool! I did same thing on Powershell and made it function.

function Get-PoSHWelcomeBanner
{
param ($Hostname, $Port)
 
	# Get Hostname
	if (!$Hostname -or $Hostname -eq "+") 
	{
		$Hostname = "localhost"
	}
	else
	{
		$Hostname = @($Hostname.Split(","))[0]
	}
 
	# Get Port
	if ($Port -ne "80")
	{
		$Port = ":$Port"
	}
 
	clear
	Write-Host " "
	Write-Host "  Welcome to PoSH Server"
	Write-Host " "
	Write-Host " "
	Write-Host "  You can start browsing your webpage from:"
	Write-Host "  http://$Hostname$Port"
	Write-Host " "
	Write-Host " "
	Write-Host "  Thanks for using PoSH Server.."
	Write-Host " "
	Write-Host " "
	Write-Host " "
}

Seriously, this looks good :) It’s a good way to redirect people to web browser.

Executing PHP files on PowerShell

Posted in Windows Powershell | No Comment | 3,321 views | 14/07/2012 21:39

I’ve recently added PHP support on PoSHServer. Here is my example codes for PHP execution on PowerShell:

Main:

$PHPCgiPath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.3\php-cgi.exe" # WebPI Location
$TestPHPCgiPath = Test-Path $PHPCgiPath
if ($TestPHPCgiPath)
{
	$Response.ContentType = "text/html"
	$PHPQuery = Get-PoSHPHPQuery -Request $Request
	$PHPContentOutput = Get-PoSHPHPContent -File $File -QueryString $PHPQuery -PHPCgiPath $PHPCgiPath
	$PHPContentOutput = Set-PHPEncoding -PHPOutput $PHPContentOutput
	$Response.StatusCode = [System.Net.HttpStatusCode]::OK
	$LogResponseStatus = $Response.StatusCode
	$Response = New-Object IO.StreamWriter($Response.OutputStream,[Text.Encoding]::UTF8)
	$Response.WriteLine("$PHPContentOutput")
}
else
{
	$Response.ContentType = "text/html"
	$Response.StatusCode = [System.Net.HttpStatusCode]::NotFound
	$LogResponseStatus = $Response.StatusCode
	$Response = New-Object IO.StreamWriter($Response.OutputStream,[Text.Encoding]::UTF8)
	$Response.WriteLine("$(. $PoSHModulePath\modules\phpcgierror.ps1)")						
}

Function:

function Get-PoSHPHPContent
{
param ($File, $QueryString, $PHPCgiPath)
 
	$PHPOutput = &$PHPCgiPath -f $File $QueryString
	$PHPOutput
}

You can always download PoSHServer to see it live! :)
