Okay, I got the idea,
I think you can use PHP to write .htaccess file for IP blocking or something
like that (shared hosts allow this and I'm pretty sure that Apache .htaccess
are able to manage IP blocking).

As long as Apache allows .htaccess files
But... even then what IP's would you write to this?
If a person changed their IP each time they access the script, then it still
would not work.
I would have to say that I just don't think that PHP is going to be the medium
in which this problem has to be handled.

Yes, PHP hasn't started yet.
When someone tries to upload a file to a server, Apache is accepting the
file first. Once the file is completely uploaded, Apache hands off the
processing to Apache. Problem is, by this time the DoS has already
happened. Apache has waisted its time receiving the file.

The problem that the OP is going to run into is the "Chicken before
the Egg" problem. PHP will not start processing until the file upload
has already been completely uploaded.
I was about to say "Then let apache check it", but I hadn't read the
last paragraph of the OPs question.

i would like to offer a suggestion, half as a question, because i have not
tried this approach yet myself. the php curl extension supports http
authentication, via the option *CURLOPT_USERPWD*. so a client script which
will supply the parameters and then ftp the file upon success shouldnt be
too bad to write. the requirements being support for http authentication on
the server side, and php w/ curl support on the client side.
thoughts?

Hello,
on my "devel" server I have a script, which allow me to upload Debian
packages which then are included in my private Debian mirror.
Now I have gotten several 1000 hits in the last days. I call it DoS.
There are idiots who have tried to upload shit on my Webspace but since
I check it to be ONLY Debian files they where not successful.
My biggest problem is, that the "/fileupload.php" was always references
from outside my webspace. OK, I was thinking this can be solved by
using HTTP_REFERER which has then worked for some days but NOW those
pigs are back and sending spoofed HTTP_REFERER.
Since I have only a VHost @ISP I can not go deeper into the Apache2
config what I have done when I was running my own server.
Can anyone suggest me something, how to block requests from outside?
Size limitation is not possibel, since some of my upload files are very
huge and I must be able to upload files without Laptop and FTP/SCP
access.
There's a number of things you can try, depending on what EXACTLY they
are doing.
If they are uploading things to your server which they then reference,
it is a simple apache configuration that you could do. For instance,
you can upload fine to my server, but once it is there, the system knows
nothing about it. You can see the file all day long, but nothing is
going to allow it to get served back to you.
If they are continuing to load the page, implement a simple login and
page check for that specific page. Sure, apache loads the page, but
that's done PDQ instead of letting them upload a file first. If the
login works, great, give them the upload form, otherwise error them out.
You could snag the IP address, browser type, other information and
store it all in a DB, then do a quick check to see if the IP matches,
followed by a browser and whatnot. It's overkill, but you should also
see HOW they are doing it as well, and you could implement the block to
work on a number of factors.
If they are uploading to just stall you out, talk to the ISP and let
them know you are getting DDOS and get their network admins involved.
You could change the filename, but maybe that's too simple a suggestion?
If it is for your personal use, rename the upload page to
Michelles_dumb_upload_script.php or even have a cron job that randomly
changes the name of the file and emails you the new name when it is done.
OH, and check your email sending server for dates and such. According
to the headers, you sent the email this morning. But according to the
dates on the sent email, you sent it on the 13th at 4:21 PM which is
about 2 days and 15 hours and 32 minutes before you actually did.

Nope. Eg:

</canvas>
MSIE just shows the text and doesn't do anything with the canvas.
One thing about using a canvas is bandwidth. If it's a big concern I
would hazard a guess that a bar chart (for example) would cost less in
terms of code required to build the image compared to JPGraph, and also
less in terms of output (particularly if you were to use output
compression).
Another idea for dynamic graphing could be:
http://solutoire.com/plotr/
It also uses the canvas element, but if you use excanvas for IE it'll
work in most newer browsers. I've used it in a project to provide
dynamic bar graphs from a queue so that they could see in semi-real time
how many customer requests were in different queues. It was an internal
app, or else I'd link it :(

I am looping through a database of files that are numbers 1 through 10
if number 1 is in the database I what to print out the first table
below if it is not then print the else section below. Then loop through
the database to see if 2 through 10 are there and do the same thing. Of
course what I am doing does not work. Should I move it all to an array
and then loop through it. Or use a foreach loop.
Could you please give me an idea where to start looking

Seriously, this needs more information. On the upside, it LOOKS like it
should work, however...
Here's what I use to get 1 random quote from a table I have:
------------------------------------------
$query="select quote from quotes where id=$id";
$query_res = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
if (mysql_num_rows($query_res) < 1)
{ //print message
$display_block = "<P>Something blew up.</P>";
}
else
{ //get info and build Quote display
$Quote = mysql_fetch_array($query_res);
echo $Quote['quote'];
}
It could be as simple as the " not working where you really need ' but
that depends on what/how you are doing things.

That still pretty much tells me nothing.
Does your table named table exist?
Does your script connect or error?
What DOES output to your screen?
Does the schema for your table contain numbers?
What happens when you use $row['number']?
Or are you just hoping for someone to write your code?
As written, your code will fail due to having PHP interspersed with HTML
code. As such, you either need to echo or exit out of the PHP areas and
then continue.

i am not sure what u want to do, for this case you need to tell us
about your database table
structure. i quess you have table like this.. assume the table name is
table1 and there are ten
column in it file1..file10 respectively
|table1 |
|member_id |
|file1 |
|file2 |
|file3 |
| : |
|file10 |
while($row = mysql_fecth_array($sql_result))
{
echo display_file($row['file1']);
echo display_file($row['file2']);
:
echo display_file($row['file10']);
}
function display_file($filename)
{
if file not exist or null etc
return add file here link
else
return display file, delete file
}
this is the idea. of course maybe not what you want, unless you can tell us what
really you want to do or what you got..

Anyone know if PHP keys off the content-disposition for form pre-processing
to populate the $_FILES array?
In my html form example, the raw data looks like:
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="resp"; filename="tada.wav"
Content-Type: audio/x-wav
But the form posting from the voicexml browser/server looks like:
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="recording"
Content-Type: audio/x-wav
That's the only difference I have found so far, so I was wondering if php
parses form elements that have the filename attribute on the
Content-Disposition item. The bad side of that is that from what I can
tell, Content-Disposition isn't a standard/requirement, just an RFC.
Thanks,

I believe that the $_FILES array is only populated when the <form> tag
contains 'enctype="multipart/form-data"' and there is an input field of
type "file" in the form, but I am not going to guarantee that ;)

Status: Myth.
This is only if you have KDE configured to bind the key to an
external application such as KSnapshot, which is not the default.
Unless, of course, your distro does it by default, which is always
possible.... but in general, it's not the case. ;-P

No, #5 is the port number (http://www.php.net/mysqli_connect).
You want:
$link = mysqli_connect($server, $user, $pass, $dbname);
$link can't be passed to mysqli_connect because it doesn't exist yet ;)
