Hi all,
I am looking for help handling a form input to SQL. I believe the solution has to do with regular expressions.
My big problem is that when a user submits data such as:
Joe's Crabshack
The ' apostrophe or " can cause an early truncation of the data. My code thinks
that the closing identifier is after the word Joe and the rest of the input is lost.
Further, if the data does get by and it could possibly break a SQL statement.
Am I right in thinking the solution in this matter is using regular expressions? If so, where is a good resource to polish my skills?
What about turning off/on magic quotes?
John
If you don't plan on doing anything this weekend, pick yourself up a
copy of O'Reilly's Regular Expressions. It's "The Owl Book", by the cover.
The reason why I ask if you have all weekend is because it's a good
book, but at 300+ pages, it's a good read. I still don't know my
regex's very well, but then again, I just kinda skipped through it.
However, it is laid out in a format that makes it a very good reference
book, so if you're looking to do something, then this book makes it easy
to "piece things together" and find a regex that works quite well.
Thanks

No need for a regex. Use something like mysql_escape_string() or
addslashes(). That's what these functions are made for.
The Camel book is a good place to start your regex learning.

You would be far better off using the built-in mysql_escape_string (recent
PHP versions) or http://php.net/addslashes
You might want to try to use Regex as an exercise, but this ain't the
place for it on a real site.

D) None of the above.
You only think you need to store a password in a Cookie.
You don't.
Use sample code from http://php.net/session_start instead

It doesn't matter how you encrypt it.
DO NOT STORE PASSWORDS ON USERS COMPUTER
I hope that's clear enough.
What you can do, and in fact I do for production sites is when the user logs
on, you create an unique identifier and make a hash from it using your
favorite encryption method. (sha1, md5, crc32). I like sha1.
Save that hash in a temporary table and link it to the user's ID. Set an
exipry date and extend that on each subsequencial request.
Additionally you can save the IP number there as well. But that can lead to
issues if they are connected trough a firewall, router, or proxy.
Think of it as assigning a temporary password, only it is transparent to the
user.
Structure
Login
Password Validated
Create unique id
save in connections table
set cookie with unique id and userid
Page Request
Check for cookie
lookup unique id in connections table
id expired? No -> User still loged in
No Cookie
Do Login
This way, you automatically log out users that are logging in on another
computer.
Kind regards
Andy

A couple of people have stated this but I think it is incorrect. For
one thing the users themselves are very likely to store the password
there, so why shouldn't you -- with permission of course?
Many sites will do this with a "remember my password and log me in
automatically" feature. Web-based discussion boards, for example, do
this routinely and the only security risk is that someone who got
access to your computer might get access to your account on the board.
As long as the discussion topics are not sensitive I suspect most
people using private computers would judge this to be an acceptable
risk. On the other hand I would never do it (or allow a site to do it)
for a site where my email account could be accessed, or money could be
charged. But others might feel their computer is secure enough that
they are willing to take even those risks.
Like many such questions, to me this is not something that should be
subject to absolutes but to considered judgment, some on the part of
the developer and some on the part of the user.

Because you should know better than the user!

It doesn't necessarily mean that it will literally store your password in
a cookie, it could just be storing a token. With a token, your website
could impose expiry dates on them or invalidate them (and possibly issue
a new one) whenever the user performs a full password login etc. Thus if
a bad person gets hold of your token it'll probably mean that they'll
only have access to that account for a limited period of time (depending
on what security measures your website employs). However if you had
stored the actual password and some bad person got hold of it then there
is no reasonable way for your website to distinguish the bad person using
the password to gain access from the legitimate user.

Thanks for all of your reply. :)
Just like what trlists said, I'd like to create an auto-login at least
with a maximum of 30 days. Users will have the option to choose
whether to logout and/or prompt for their password for the next 1
hour, 4 hours, etc. just like what Yahoo! is doing.
What is the difference between what Richard Lynch has suggested (using
sessions) and the one suggested by Andy (using table links)?

If the user wants to circumvent security measures by storing passwords,
that's their option, but it's the programmer's obligation to keep
his/her app as secure as possible.
Many sites will do this with a "remember my password and log me in
automatically" feature. Web-based discussion boards, for example, do
this routinely and the only security risk is that someone who got
access to your computer might get access to your account on the board.

charged. But others might feel their computer is secure enough that
they are willing to take even those risks.
While 'remember me' is a popular option, it doesn't mean that the site
is storing your password in a cookie. In applications I create, the
password never 'leaves the database'. When the user submits their
login, I'll check the password against what is in the db (after doing
various encrypt methods on it), and that's as far as it goes. If the
login is successful, and the user has a 'remember me' option, I'll
create a unique hash based on a combination of things (like username,
ip, time, random words, etc.), and store that hash in in a temporay
table (as well as in the cookie). When the user comes back, I'll check
that hash, and if successful I'll delete it, and generate a new one for
next visit. And even this type of 'login' may not give the user full
access to their account, as I may ask for the password again if they
want to update some items.
Like many such questions, to me this is not something that should be
subject to absolutes but to considered judgment, some on the part of
the developer and some on the part of the user.
While it is not absolute that you can't store passwords in a cookie, it
is an absolute that you _shouldn't_

Generate an SSH key-pair.
Give them the public key, or use that to "sign" their license.
Then you can just test that it's signed.

You could use http://php.net/exec with tar and gzip, but you'd have to be

Reasons NOT to do this:
If you ever delete a record, then $val2 might not *BE* there.
To get the max(id) requires an extra query.
MySQL does *NOT* promise the numbers will be 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
Sure, they happen to be that *NOW* and it's unlikely to change, but it's
*NOT* a documented feature.
What if $val1 and $val2 both happen to come out as "42" one day? Then
you're not going to get 3 different records. ORDER BY rand() will always
return 3 different records.
It's unlikely that PHP's mt_rand() will be enough faster to justify using
it when a single SQL statement is so much more clear than 5 lines of PHP.

Are you saying that you typed 'whoami' from a shell, and it gave you root.
Or are you saying that when you did <?php `whoami` ?> you got 'root'. If
this is the case, then you are running a big security risk if your PHP
scripts are executing with root permissions.

Okay, allright. I missunderstood that. But wouldn't it be nice to see things
like this in the error log when E_STRICT is activated. I know some
programming languages and i ever have dreamed about some features like this
in PHP5 and the main thing i was dreaming about was strict declaration. Now
since PHP5 i have thought about programming PHP again because of features
which would help me debugging my code. And this is not implemented perfectly.
I have some days ago allready posted a PHP5 issue which i thought that it
should be catched from the internal error handling with E_STRICT on. You can
see it here:

if(!$handle = fopen($logfile, "a"))
{
echo("Could not open logfile for writing!");
ob_end_flush();
exit;
}
if(fwrite($handle, $error_string) === FALSE)
{
echo("Could not write to logfile!");
ob_end_flush();
exit;
}
fclose($handle);
ob_end_clean();
}
?>
</CODE>
This simply does not work the way it should. i.e ob_get_contents doen't return
any string and the buffer just gets flushed by itself at termination.
Though the PHP manual says it is not possible to retrieve the contents of any
output buffers using ob_get_contents() with PHP < 4.0.6. But I am using PHP 5.
x.x
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi All,
I did a source install, of which I'm a newb at, and then created a
index.php file containing the following,
<?php
phpinfo(); ?>
but, that shows in the browser, Firefox, when typing
localhost/index.php. I've confirmed that httpd is running, and generates
pages as I got the Apache welcome page b4 creating the index.php page.
I'm swaying towards that I may have compiled the source wrongly, like
leaving something out. Happy to post whatever is needed to help you help
me here. Cheers.
Mark Sargent.

You seem to have missed out some important steps ie editing httpd.conf so
that it knows about PHP. RTFM for details.

You need to tell Apache how to handle php files.

Hi All,
sorry guys, quite new to all this. On this page,
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php
it has 2 examples,
4-1 and 4-2. Little confused with what shared and static modules are and
which 1 pertains to me. I was wanting to get php running to allow base
to show results of snort logging in mysql. Snort/Mysql/Base etc are
installed fine, just php is the last hurdle. Again, sorry. Cheers.
P.S. Ah, sorry, John, think I emailed you this post directly,
unintentionally
Mark Sargent.
