You may want to take a look at Metastorage. It is an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) generator tool. It generates classes that let you store and retrieve your database table rows as objects. It also takes care of generating classes to install or upgrade your database schema when your data model is updated. There would be a lot to say about Metastorage because it is really powerful and effectively enables rapid development. But I think it is better for you to take a look at it directly in its site: http://www.metastorage.net/ -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

First of all this is news to me, I'm not sure how it is that you're
getting the POST values from here. But OK...
// here is the array returned
Array ( [0] => eligibility [1] => payment [2] => service [3] =>

Well, I'd start off by *not* using this dynamic variable everywhere
(because it's hard to read and easy to introduce a bug), but just set
it to a temp variable and use that, like so:
for ($j = 0; $j < count($fields); $j++) {
$myField = ${$fields[$j]};
if($myField == 'on') $myField = 1;
if(is_null($myField) $myField = 0;
$data[$fields[$j]] = $myField;
}
The problem I am having is that the code is now on a more secure
server with register_globals off (and I don't want to turn that on).
I am not sure how to get the POST data sorted out using this method.
Hope it is clear what I mean.
Then if you need to explicitly reference the variable name within
POST, just change that line:
for ($j = 0; $j < count($fields); $j++) {
$myField = $_POST[$fields[$j]];
if($myField == 'on') $myField = 1;
if(is_null($myField) $myField = 0;
$data[$fields[$j]] = $myField;
}
Untested. Does that work for you?

[PHP] Understanding persistent connections with oci8
This is a follow up to the bug (#39029) that I reported earlier which has been repeatedly closed as bogus. The oci8.persistent_timeout setting in the php.ini file is documented as : "The maximum length of time (in seconds) that a given process is allowed to maintain an idle persistent connection. Setting this option to -1 means that idle persistent connections will be maintained forever. " If I do not want the connection to be persist forever, then by using this setting, I should be able to ensure that a connection is not idle for longer than what I specified. However, when I set persistent_timeout to 10 seconds, I find that the connection is not terminated even after 10 seconds have passed. In fact, it doesn't terminate at all. So the question is what is the purpose of this setting ? And what does an 'idle connection' mean ? A google query for 'idle timeout' yields enough results to point that when the timeout occurs, the idle connection is terminated. Obviously there is a bug somewhere. Either in the documentation or in the behavior. Please advise. Thanks and Regards, Kiran -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Breaking lines - att. Richard Lynch
I tend to store passwords in mysql as hashed values (usually md5), and if I am using scripts to connect to the database name that file (for example) connect.inc and add an .htaccess file to stop user download of any files called *.inc. Or store those files outside the web root in the include path. And treat all user data as tainted, and use mysql_real_escape string before entering it into the database. Or set ini values locallyusing ini_set or .htaccess to disabled register_globals etc. There are many security suggestions for php, like anything it is only as secure as the code you write. I do agree with previous suggestions - if you are unsure about all this get someone else to write or audit your code before slinging that stuff into production. It's a complex subject but there are many best practice guidelines you can find by browsing php.net, Googling for it or picking up a good book - PHP Security by O'Reilly being a good choice for starters. By looking at your code and guessing that you are having problems with php 'basics' like variable interpolation and escaping, I would either follow the suggestions, or get hold of Programming PHP and read it and reread it. -- http://www.web-buddha.co.uk

Yes, it *is* unfortunately VERY common for web applications in heavy distribution/use to have their mysql password in an include file in the webtree, and that file is readable/writable by the PHP user. And, worse, moving that file out of the web tree and changing include_path fails miserably because the so-called architects presume no PHP user actually knows how to work include_path, so they have some stupid "work-around" of hard-coding a prefix in an included file, which then "locks" the include files into their brain-dead layout of passwords and include files inside the webtree. And while it's very common, that does not make it Right. Perhaps that clarifies things?... -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?

In Un*x, there is nothing in a file other than its content. $data = file_get_contents($fullpath); In Windows, some files are "binary" and need special handling for fopen to get them as binary. Presumable file_get_contents does that correctly as binary. (At least, *I* think it should do that...) On old old Mac OS on which PHP probably doesn't even run, you had the file DATA fork and the file RESOURCE fork where your question would, in theory, make sense...

separate file named something like .htdbpass.
require('.htdbpass');
This way, at least, apache is pre-build to never allow access to the
file, since it blocks all accesses to .ht*
And yeah, a key is better, but I've not gotten that far.

Re: [PHP] Remove Spaces from Middle of String
If you have this, it's better:
$data = preg_replace("/ /", $data);
You may want to consider "/\\s+/" if you want newlines to be collapsed
in as well.
If preg_replace is not in your PHP, so you gotta use str_replace, then
strstr is better to find the ' ' because it's probably slightly
faster than preg_match()
I suspect preg_replace() is available everywhere preg_match() is
available, but will not swear to it.

Re: [PHP] class usage
My goal was to make you aware that you are on a wide-open path with many branches, most of which lead you to disaster, but several of which are VERY GOOD PATHS to using OOP in a sensible and incredibly beneficial manner. Unfortunately, to get to the GOOD PATHS you have to hop over a couple streams and take several bad paths, and then realize how/why they are bad, and then backtrack and start all over, and then you have to be very careful, because there is an entirely whole other class of BAD PATHS at a whole new level of complexity, with only a few GOOD PATHS at the very very very end... It's really a whole lot like a very very very long and complicated adventure with only 3 "winning" outcomes, and a heck of a lot of false trails that LOOK good until you end up dead, or, worse, wandering around the maze *thinking* you're making great progress and everything is fine, when, in reality, you've already broken off from the viable paths to the winning ends. You could spend an entire career making decent money in this maze, mind you, but it doesn't mean your code is any good in my book. :-) Hope that clarifies rather than confuses.

Nope. Right Answer. #3 Code Releases If you are releasing your PHP code to "the world" wrapping it all up in a WELL-DESIGNED class so that you minimize the risk of namespace collision is a Good Thing. It's just that I am more of a "here's my home-brew code you can have" kind of an Open Source guy than a "here's the code I spent an extra 10 X amount of time making it bullet-proof so you could mindlessly install and use it" Open Source guy... :-) Obviously if you want to be the latter kind of OSS guy, you need to use classes to release your code instead of just slapping an "ln -s foo.php foo.phps" into your web tree to let it all hang out.

[PHP] Remove Spaces from Middle of String
This works, but I was wondering if this was the best way to
accomplish this or not. I'm trying to remove any extra spaces (not
whitespace like carriage returns) from the middle of a string
mainly for times where people put extra spaces after periods in
paragraph.
while(preg_match('/ /',$data))
{ $data = str_replace(" "," ",$data);}
Is there a better way to accomplish this same task? (PHP 4.x). Thanks.

I do the same, but will mingle HTML/PHP for layout/formatting or User Interface logic. And I don't bother with a heredoc, since I find it easier to edit HTML with the occasional in it. E.g., a popup menu of the years from "current" to 10 years into the future for the credit card expiration is not exactly complex back-end business logic. A simple 'for' loop in my HTML to do that is vastly superior to the "solution" of templates that require hours of back-tracking through 7 PHP/template/HTML/whatever files to sort out what the heck is going on here... And, yes, I *did* once waste hours to find out how they were generating a 10-year popup for the credit card expiration... Which they had HARD-CODED the 'start' year in their business logic!!! Sheesh! Back-tracking that through the files turned a 5-minute task into hours wasted.

Off the top of my head:
exec("cp -Ra $source $destination", $output, $error);
if ($error){
echo perror($error); //see http://l-i-e.com/perror
echo nl2br(htmlentities(implode("", $output)));
exit;

You're on your own to scrub $source and $destination, as that is a
custom tailoring job, not an off the rack job.

There is no real need to keep flipping in and out of the string like that, just use this: $stringData = "\n\n\$'$hostname = '$hostname\n\$$database = wordlife\n\$$mysql_username = $mysql_username\n\$$mysql_user_password = $mysql_user_password\n\n"; ...or something similar - use double quotes to interpolate the variable values and escape the newlines and literal dollar signs

The problem with the "disjoint" is what if mysqldump doesn't work for whatever reason? Then you tar up the wrong thing, and pretend it's "OK"? Gotta plan this out, if it matters. You are *probably* fine, but it's better to check on your own system than to just take whatever some goof like me says on a mailing list. It should not be too hard to test it reliably to be 100% sure. Another option to consider: Set up a whole 'nother slave, and then do your dump and backup from THAT. So you really don't CARE if you manage to screw it up, in terms of your failure-is-not-an-option stream of incoming data to the master. Your backup is at slightly higher risk of failing. You have some "timing" issues of maybe losing a few more transactions/inserts/whatever. But reducing risk to the master and its input stream is drastic, so probably worth considering. I understand it's common to also set up an extra slave JUST for reporting, so your Marketing guys can't bring down the whole system just because they want to play "what happened" and "what if" games by generating a cross-indexed report of every field in every table... :-) This is definitely straying into the area of things you really would better find covered on the MySQL mailing list/forum/whatever. PS [re-arranged original post, sorry] > I imagine if I used mysql_connect() in the script that it > would > be for the entire length of the script execution, but mysqldump makes > its > own connection, so I'm just not sure about this. You could always use mysql_connect and then mysql_close() to manage a connection, but that would not be the fast way to get a dump in the first place, so is kind of moot. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.

Re: [PHP] MySQLDump and master/slave Behavior
1. mysqldump will only keep the connection open for as long as it needs it. Once your calling script is allowed to continue mysqldump has either exited successfully or with an error, but either way the connection should no longer be active. 2. I don't think that would be a good idea. 30 minutes should buy you enough time, but if the system is getting slammed or some other unforeseeable event happens that makes the system slow down to a crawl then you run the risk of breaking your backup process. The bulk of the execution time in your script is almost certainly with your tar command. The 'j' option is telling it to use the bzip2 algorithm for compression, which is a very high compression level, but takes a long time to obtain compared to other compression algorithms. In short, I don't think anything that you're doing is going to cause any data loss as long as mysqldump isn't locking the slave database for a huge amount of time. As an aside, this isn't really PHP related so much as it is MySQL or even *nix shell commands related, you might try a MySQL list for verification.

Running mysqldump (an external program), the connection will only exist while mysqldump is running. PHP's connections and that of external programs are mostly unrelated. Besides, your problem isn't the connection, it's the locking that you're worried about. You can pass options to mysqldump to tell it to do as little locking as possible. That's what I do, considering that running mysqldump on a live database doesn't give you a totally up-to-date snapshot anyway. (I.e. as soon as you take a snapshot with mysqldump, it's out of date the instant there's another insert/update.) Question 2: Should I, just to be on the safe side, break out the mysqldump code into its own scipt, and run it, say, 30 minutes before the tar script? I don't think it matters. See above. I put my sql dump scripts into simple bash scripts that run from cron, but if you're more comfortable with PHP, I don't see any reason to switch nor to break it out. jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I've been meaning to look into this, so I might as well do it now. The obvious assumption would be that the mail() function would: a) escape all its arguments to make them suitable for use in an email This should, at a minimum, run something like addslashes() to escape newlines. Ideally, it should also encode the arguments as quoted-printable if necessary, but the mail() function would then need to know what character encoding the strings are in. So, the burden of escaping appears to be on the user, rather than on the mail() function. What then is it that has to be done? The 'Subject:' header is fairly simple. It contents is '*text' in RFC 822 terms, where problematic 'text' parts can be replaced by 'encoded-word' in RFC 2047 terms. In other words, it can be QP-encoded directly. The 'To:' header is more problematic. Is it an (RFC 822) 'address', 'mailbox', 'addr-spec' or something else? The escape mechanism would be different (I think), and the PHP documentation doesn't provide any information on this. b) escape all parameters sent to the sendmail program through the shell. It would be interesting to run a sendmail dummy that dumps its arguments to a file to see what's really going on. I don't seem to be able to test this on my old Windows clunker at home. > For *any* data that PHP has to pass back and forth in its "glue" there > are potentials for the kind of problems we've seen with spam, site > defacing, viruses, etc. > > What I'm suggesting is that in addition to mysql_escape[_real]_string, > maybe there needs to be more "escape" string functions. > > So with all these potential issues, I'm wondering if there isn't a > more systemic approach to this. Wouldn't it be nice if strings were associated with a (hidden) character encoding field, so that mail() and other functions could just "do their thing" and not bother us users with the detaily bits?

However, I find it very difficult not to mix languages -- for example, trying to generate dynamic html from php/mysql without mixing all three languages is difficult, if not impossible.

Also, sometimes mixing languages is preferable (with regard to readability) than trying to develop a scheme to separate them. And lastly, what constitutes separation? Is an include(), or date(), or any php function from within a html, or css, file acceptable? If not, what's the cost in readability or lines of additional code to obtain the same functionality? I don't know about others, but the language line is blurred for me. I still believe in the "concepts" separation of content, presentation, and behavior, but php transcends the other languages in a different manner and provides the "glue" to hold them together and make them a cohesive functional solution. In my mind, the "concept of separation" does not fall clearly along language boundaries. While this is not meant to demean php, I see php not only as a "stand-alone" language, but as an addition to html, css, and javascript, which can enhance their functionality. Clearly each of those languages can do more with php than without it.

hi... i'm trying to find a good web based (php) browsing app for handling remote file management functions... i've seen a number of open source apps, but haven't come across any that meet my needs. i'm looking for the ability to: -edit/view/rename/copy/move/delete files -copy/rename/move/delete folders -display number of files in a folder -search for file/folder by name/regex if you know of an app that does the above, or if you've used a browser based file manager kind of app that's really good, let me know. thanks.. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] RE:[PHP] Client Computer Registration
They could also be doing something like giving the client an SSH key to download, I've heard of this situation in a bank before. Though it does seem more likely that their just using cookie based authentication - From: "Rahul S. Johari" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: PHP Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2006 08:07:35 -0400 Subject: [PHP] Client Computer Registration Ave, I saw this at the Key.Com website for Keybank Customers. When you go to their website to login to view your account, they ask you to register your computer for the first time. Once your computer is registered, you can access the account using that computer. You can choose to Not register that computer and you won¹t be able to access the account using that computer in future. What exactly are they doing? Can PHP record the MAC Address of the NIC in the computer? Or are they just recording the IP and creating an IP based filteration? I¹m looking to implement a similar security system for one of my applications. Any advice? Rahul S.

[PHP] Breaking lines
Hello, I have this code to write three lines in a file (config.php): $stringData = '$hostname = ' . $hostname . '\n' . '$mysql_username = ' . $mysql_username . '\n' . '$mysql_user_password = ' . $mysql_user_password . '\n'; but instead of breaking a line, it appears in the file the string \n How can i make the line break ? Any help would be appreciated.
