Out of curiosity, couldn't you put something like
php_value include_path .:/document/root/include:/usr/lib/php

in a .htaccess file? Or has your ISP disabled .htaccess files?

[PHP] ANN: QaDRAM Software releases QaDRAM Studio 1 Pre-Release 1 Build 770

[José León Serna]

QaDRAM Studio enables Rapid Application Development for Web applications
http://studio.qadram.com

ELCHE, Spain - April 6, 2002 - QaDRAM Software today announced the next
release of QaDRAM Studio 1 for Rapid Web Application Development. QaDRAM
Studio enables web developers to build and debug web applications using
their server scripting language of choice. The current pre-release only
supports PHP, but ASP, Perl, JSP and other languages are also planned.
QaDRAM Studio incorporates an unique plug-in technology to enable
third-party developers to add support for any scripting language. This
release includes some components for you to play with it, it's not still
productive as designer, but it could be useful as editor.

QaDRAM Studio is free for both personal and commercial use, it is not Open
Source, but several parts will be released under an OpenSource license, for
example the QCL (QaDRAM Component Library) and the plug-in SDK that allow
third-parties to add support for another scripting languages.

QaDRAM Studio is a Windows program, but a Linux version is planned after the
final release, so QaDRAM Studio will become the most powerful web
application development platform.

The direct link to download is:
http://studio.qadram.com/download.php?op=getit&lid=11

Re: [PHP] Re: help condensing regular expressions

[Tom Rogers]

Thanks Chris
Thats what I was after :)
At the top of each page I now do

$reltoroot = preg_replace("|/[^/]+|", "../", dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));
ini_set ("include_path",ini_get("include_path").":".$reltoroot."../include");

which takes care of the include path

I use the path translated info for pages that are sym linked across virtual 
domains such as admin pages.
Thanks again
Tom

For what it's worth, I just tried on the following browsers (all I have at
my disposal at home) and it works fine:

links 0.96
lynx 2.8.3
Opera 5.0.498 (Mac)
IE 5.1.3 (Mac)
Mozilla 0.9.9 (Mac)
Netscape 6.1 (Mac)

Here's a more compact regexp:

preg_replace("|/[^/]+|", "../", dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']));

dirname() returns only the directory part of a filename (e.g. "/~chris"
from "/~chris/myfile.php").

Using | instead of the usual / to delimit the regular expression just
saves a bit of typing.

(Note that for includes, you'd be better off setting include_path in
php.ini or .htaccess - that avoids the need to worry about where the
files are physically located)

If you need the local file path and you're using Apache, the
PATH_TRANSLATED variable can tell you where your files are:
$current_dir = dirname($PATH_TRANSLATED) . "/";

This could be used to construct absolute paths internally - I use it in
my photo gallery code when creating thumbnails & such with convert.
Using it with DOCUMENT_ROOT can help if you need to construct things
like directory listings.

Unfortuantely, UPDATE syntax is in fact completely different. This is
usually a good thing - imagine counting commas with those 150 columns to
see if you put #93 in the 93rd or 94th spot!

It sounds like you need to normalize your data more. I can't imagine
anything which would require that many columns in one table and it's
usually better to break things into multiple tables where possible. If
you can, see if you can't restructure the database considerably - you'll
save yourself a great deal of work later.

Assuming you can't avoid setting that many variables at once, you can
use a PHP script like this to generate some statements programatically:

 1) print ",";
print "\n";
}

print "WHERE ...\n";
?>

(As a side note, MySQL supports the UPDATE style syntax for INSERT and
has a REPLACE command which will UPDATE if the record exists and INSERT
if it doesn't - this can help you maintain only one query)

Pardon my following up to myself, but I figured it'd be a good idea to  
do so.  I was initially going to suggest your method of coding seems
quite wacky.  Then, I figured, hey, let them do what they want.  Now,   
I've thought better of it.  A far simpler way to achieve what it seems
you're trying to do is to use an array in the first place.



Then in your receiving code, you could just do

if ($checkbox['Name'] == 'validate') {

Or,  if you want to loop through each item, as you were in your original 
code:

while ( list($Key,$Val) = each($checkbox) ) {
   if ($Val = 'validate) {
  $msg .= "$Key : $Val\n";
  # or whatever it was you were trying to do...
   }
}

WAY cleaner and WAY more flexible.  Now you can add new items to the 
form without having to name them in your $cb[] array.

Also, FYI, there was no need to set the array using $cb[$i].  Just
doing something like 
   $cb[] = 'some value'; works just fine, with the key being
automatically numbered/incremented, starting at 0.

Enjoy,

If all you want is to add mysql support in php then its just a matter of
installation relevant RPM(s) which for RH7.2 is php-mysql-4.0.6-7.i386.rpm.

I would advise against mixing RPM and source installs for Apache-PHP. My own
preference is to install AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) from source. Search google
for 'lamp php apache' to find the LAMP guide which shows you how to install
all 3 from source. DevShed also has a nice guide called "The Soothingly

[PHP] newbie configuration question

[Eric Kilgore]

I'm a newbie to Linux and Apache, not so new to php itself. I'm using Red
Hat 7.2. The RPM installs apache with php, etc. as part of the standard
install but --without-mysql in the configuration. I've read quit a bit on
how you are supposed to be able to update the configuration etc.
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql etc. The trouble is I have no clue
as to what directory I'm suppose to be running this in. I'm tempted to
install a newer version of PHP (Red Hat 7.2 comes with 4.0.6) as the
documentation on installing from source code seems to be a bit clearer. Can
I install over the top of the existing module or would I have to uninstall
that package first?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Because you're making a string "$checkboxName"  Of course it doesn't 
equal "validate"

If you want to evaluate the variable $checkboxName, you need to write:

   $var = "checkbox$cb[$i]";
   if ($$var == 'validate')

But, of course, that assumes you actually set the name of your checkbox 
to "checkboxName" and the value of that checkbox to "validate"

Well, I've been at this PHP thing for 2 years, and like I said, "for as long
as *I* can remember, it's been ".  Perhaps it was introduced in PHP4,
perhaps earlier.  I was not an in depth user of PHP3.

But I can't be "deadly wrong" :)

Again.  I was only stating MY experience.  "Every browser I can get my hands
on".  I do extensive testing, and have never seen a  or  or 
misbehave.

If you have seen it perform unexpectedly, I'm keen to hear about.


In fact, if this is the case, then I'll be writing my own nl2br function
which returns a , to avoid this problem ever again.


Perhaps in future releases, nl2br() should have an option flag for switching
between XHTML and HTML?  I can't see why the powers that be would have
included XHTML compliance if it wasn't backwards compatible.



> when was it changed? Is there any reference?

I went to php.net/nl2br and this line of text was in there:

"Note: Starting with PHP 4.0.5, nl2br() is now XHTML compliant. All versions
before 4.0.5 will return string with '' inserted before newlines instead
of ''."

:)

So it would appear that I've only been using nl2br since I got my hands on
PHP4.05+, which according to the earliest date I can find, was released
sometime around 2001-04-30.

Would it be hard? Like, is it a lot of work for them and/or a security risk?

[PHP] Can't get this code to work...

[Rob Packer]

Sorry for the vague Subject, but I have this code that looks fine to me.
There's some logical error, because I can't get to the second if statement,
although when I echo "\$".$cb[$i] I get $checkboxName. If I hard code
$checkboxName it will work though. Anyone know why? TIA!

$num_fields= 8 ;//the number of fields on the form!
$cb=array("Name", "Address", "State", "Zip", "Phone", "Email", "Comments",
"Fax");
for($i=0; $i<$num_fields; $i++){

if ("\$".$cb[$i] !="")
{
 // CAN GET HERE
 if ("\$checkbox".$cb[$i]=="validate")
  {echo"can NOT get here";// HINT, HINT
  $form_write_msg .=
   'if (!$cb[$i])
   {$error_msg.="Your " . $cb[$i] . " .\n";}
   if ("\$".$cb[$i]){
  $msg.="\$".$cb[$i].": \t" . $cb[$i] . " . \n";}
   '
  ;}elseif("\$checkbox".$cb[$i]=="no")
   {$form_write_msg.=
   'if ("\$".$cb[$i]){
  $msg.=$cb[$i]  .": \t " .$cb[$i]. " . \n";}
   '
  ;}
;}

Directly from the manual:

Note:  Starting with PHP 4.0.5, nl2br() is now XHTML compliant. All 
versions before 4.0.5 will return string with '' inserted before 
newlines instead of ''.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php

You're deadly wrong, Justin. Years of coding and I have never seen this
behavior of nl2br(). Perhaps I missed its new behavior's introduction
(guilty as charged if so) but I only remember it returning me  not
. I have several regex depending on it.

That's true, I suppose

False!

It DOES NOT work fine in every browser. I'd love to give you a prov, but
because I am lazy I will just tell you this formula: 


if("I found this issue"=="I noticed screwed pages on my site") {
All I did: preg_replace("]*>", "", $text); {  
...and pages became pretty again.
}
}

/// preg 'couse I had no idea what comes up next :-)

yup

Because there's a bug in your script and/or or HTML?

Those two lines are PHP's default output.  Crontab, by default, sends 
output of programs to the user by email.  You can change both behaviors 
by doing this:

0 0 * * * /usr/bin/php -q /path/to/my/script.php >> /dev/null 2>&1

PHP thinks it's producing output to be sent via a web server, so it 
outputs those headery lines.

Changing "/usr/bin/php" to "/usr/bin/php -q" will probably fix the
problem.

OK, James, even worth.

But again (I like insisting on such things),
Why do I have it now and didn't have it before? Why did it change
anyway? I haven't seen it on any other my server and I use it quite a
lot.

RE: [PHP] CRONTAB

Hi Miguel!!

Thank you for your help!

My script run fine with:

0 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/my/script.php

But I continue receiving an email each time that the script run that say:

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.6
Content-type: text/html


I don't understand it, because in my script I didn't put content of this
type

Do you know what is the problem now??

Regards and thank for your time!! Julian

If you are running from cron, you need to tell it to use the php
interpreter.

So either tell it in your crontab entry with something like:

  0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /blah/blah/mailf.php

Or channel it through your web server with something like this:

  0 * * * * /usr/bin/lynx http://127.0.0.1/distribuidor/mailf.php

Or put a comment in the first line of your PHP file that tells the shell
to use PHP to run it:

  #!/usr/local/bin/php

All of these paths are samples; you'll need to figure out where these
things are on your system.

Not same, Andrew, It had made my pages VERY VERY UGLY!

I know that it can be parsed well, but should not have done such effect
on the site. I wouldn't care about this thing if I wouldn't find a few
pages on my site 1000 pixel wide.

But, the question is: why only on this machine? I run the same PHP
version and use same data as before.

Not same, Andrew, It had made my pages VERY VERY UGLY!

I know that it can be parsed well, but should not have done such effect
on the site. I wouldn't care about this thing if I wouldn't find a few
pages on my site 1000 pixel wide.

But, the question is: why only on this machine? I run the same PHP
version and use same data as before.

[PHP] nl2br returns ? normality or a bug?

[Maxim Maletsky]

I've never seen that nl2rb would return me  instead of the
traditional . But it did. 

Is that normal or it that a bug?


Here's some test code:




returns me such HTML:

--




Hello 



this is

the 

silliest



test



I can





ever



invent



on machine: [Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.22 (Mandrake
Linux/1.2mdk) mod_ssl/2.8.5 OpenSSL/0.9.6 PHP/4.0.6]
--



I've triple-checked for what ANSI characters I had there. They were
fine. And as you can read below, there were the same as when nl2br used
to return me .

The problem has never occurred to me on any of the previous machines
site was hosted on. It does on this one though, with even the same
version of PHP and the same data from DB. I've noticed this problem
because I had a RegEx after nl2br() that always worked till we migrated
on a new server, then my expression has obviously stopped to work
because of that extra space and slash nl2br kindly provided me with.
Temporarily fixed with another RegEx. But, I was wondering, is a known
bug or it's because of my machine? Other than that nothing has
changed...

Enlighten me on this, please. Did I miss a bug report?

[PHP] Re: some kind of "library loader"

[Eric Thelin]

I have had a similar idea.  I also tried the custom error handler
aproach and it didn't work here either.  I have set the project aside
that I was thinking about it for but I do have some ideas that would
help and may be able to contribute.  I wasn't even able to get php to
call my custom error handler for function not found errors.  How did you
do that?  Was there anything useful in the context argument?  My guess
is that to get this aproach to work would require hacking the code to
php itself but the hack wouldn't be very major.  However I do have an
alternate plan that has been waiting for me to get around to building it
is a simple parser that will read a php file and get the required
functions and classes and then pre build a library file for just that
page.  The parsing shouldn't be that dificult as all function calls
begin with 'func(' and for classes checking for 'new classname' or
'classname::' would give me a list of all items that need to be checked
for.  Then simply build (from the source) a list of all builtin php
functions and allow those and check for declarations of inline functions
and classes while parsing and remove those.  That would leave a list of
functions and classes that are external.  Then build a database of
classes and functions either as a real database or simple an index of
the files that contain each resource.  I don't think it would be too
hard.  The next step would be to make a publicly available archive of
functions and classes that fit into this index.  Or to build it into
pear.

Please keep in touch with me on this issue.  Feel free to email me off
list if you want.

If you are running from cron, you need to tell it to use the php 
interpreter.

So either tell it in your crontab entry with something like:

  0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /blah/blah/mailf.php

Or channel it through your web server with something like this:

  0 * * * * /usr/bin/lynx http://127.0.0.1/distribuidor/mailf.php

Or put a comment in the first line of your PHP file that tells the shell 
to use PHP to run it:

  #!/usr/local/bin/php

All of these paths are samples; you'll need to figure out where these 
things are on your system.

[PHP] CRONTAB

Hello to all !!!

I write you because I have the following question:

I am attempting execute automatically an script PHP, all the days at a
certain hour.

I configured the cron to executes it, but when it is executed, instead of
working, I receive an email in
my main account where say:

/home/vipteam/public_html/distribuidor/mailf.php: echoNo tinterrumpir:
command not found
/home/vipteam/public_html/distribuidor/mailf.php: =: command not found
/home/vipteam/public_html/distribuidor/mailf.php: =: command not found
/home/vipteam/public_html/distribuidor/mailf.php: =: command not found
/home/vipteam/public_html/distribuidor/mailf.php: line 10: syntax error near
unexpected token `Rand(1 '
/home/vipteam/public_html/distribuidor/mailf.php: line 10: ` $codigo1 =
rand(1,32767); '


I think that the code is not interpreted. I don't know what happen!

Help, please!

Nope, you have the port number in the right place. The reason you're 
getting Connection Refused is probably because the connection is being 
refused.

Do you have shell access on the machine where the PHP program is running?
Try using a simple tool like netcat to see whether your connections really 
are being accepted at that port?

[PHP] Speaking of sockets...

... I gotta problem with them.

I'm trying to connect to the server (same one from
which the page is at). My code is as follows:

if($searchsocket = fsockopen("127.0.0.1", 8080,
&$errornumber, &$errormessage, 30)) {

Obviously 127.0.0.1 is not the real IP address. But
it's at this point that it's reporting error number
111 (Connection refused). Is that because my line of
code is wrong? I'm trying to connect to port 8080.
Should I just leave the port blank and put :8080 after
the IP address? Is this because there could be
something about the server which is breaking the code?
What's going on?

RE: [PHP] Re: help condensing regular expressions

[Tom Rogers]

Hi
For some reason $DOCUMENT_ROOT always points to /usr/local/apache/htocs 
even when the actual document root on the virtual domain is 
/usr/local/apache/domains/domain.com/www/
You can use PATH_TRANSLATED but that doesn't solve the http side when you 
may need to find the images directory from an included file :)
My little relative_root does the trick nicely for both situations, just I 
think the expression I use is very brutal and there is probably a more 
elegant way to arrive at the same result.

The most obvious answer is to use them for speaking internet protocols not 
directly supported by other functionality in PHP. For instance, there are 
already ways to speak HTTP, but if you need to talk to a whois server, a 
finger server, etc., then it's sockets to the rescue.

[PHP] Having problems deleting an element from an array

[Joshua E Minnie]

Can anyone tell me why when stepping through an array and trying to delete a
specific element in the array it deletes not only the one that I want it to
delete, but also the first and last element in the array as well.?

Here is the situation:
I am retrieving information from a text file, dumping it to any array of
arrays.  Then searching for the specific element to delete it.  After the
deletion it should re-write the information back to the text file. Without
the element that I wanted to delete.  But it also deletes the first and last
element.

 $data) {
foreach($stores[$i] = explode(":", $data) as $key => $val) {
  $stores[$i][$key] = trim($val);
}
$i++;
  }
  $fp = @ fopen($storelist, "w") or die("Fatal Error: could not open
$storelist for edit\n");
  foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $val) {
unset($stores[$val]);
  }
  for($i=0; $i

[PHP] help condensing regular expressions

Hi
I am trying to calculate how far into a directory structure I am so that I 
can include images and include files without having to hard code them.
I need to turn $PHP_SELF which could be /admin/emails/index.php into ../../ 
which I can then use to get to any directory from root.
like IMG src=images/logo.png
Regular expressions leave me cold but I have come up with the following 
monster which works

$relative_root = preg_replace("<\/[[:alnum:]]+>","../",

Re: [PHP] Arrays within classes

[Brian McLaughlin]

Hi Erik

Thanks for the reply.  I'm not sure how I missed the opening { in my
message -- I copy/pasted the code.  But the opening { is definitely there in
the code -- I'd get a nice error message if it weren't.  I believe it's OK
to have a ; after the class def end-brace, but I removed it and I got the
same symptoms.  I also believe it's OK to not have the () in the "new test"
instance assignment as long as my constructor takes no parameters.  I added
the (), and didn't get different results.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "Don't you want to  perform your
error-testing functions on the instances?"  I'm trying to initialize some
class-arrays in the constructor.  I put some echo"" statements in there to
try and figure out what was going on.  The example is just an example -- the
smallest piece of code I could make (presumably) that would exhibit the
symptoms.  The purpose for the "real" class I'm working with is to
encapsulate several arrays (one of which is an array of arrays) along with a
few other variables into a data class that can be put/retrieved as a single
object into the session.  The reason is so that all the code that builds
these arrays only happens when the user hits the first page.  Then the
arrays are available from the session on subsequent hits.

My problem is that when I assign an empty array to a variable, I get
different results depending on whether that variable is in an object or not.
In the case of assigning $a=array(); outside of an object, each element of
the array is empty (as I expected).  But when assigning
$this->$words=array(); results in $this->$words["Amy"] (or any other element
for that matter) already being assigned an array.  And if I look at the
elements of those arrays, they are also initialized to arrays.  I don't know
how deep it goes.

The way I noticed this at first was like this:  In the constructor, I'm
reading phrases from a file and putting each word into the $words array, and
assigning $words[$word]=array($phrasenum);  (so each word in the $words
array gives back an array containing the id's of the phrases it appears in)
When I come across a word that I've already added for phrase 1 in phrase 2,
I expect it to already exist in the array, because I put it there the first
time I came across the word in phrase 1.  Instead, Every element is
pre-assigned to another array, and so the code gets confused, thinking that
it has entries for any word I care to index the array with.

Sorry for the long drawn-out message.  Maybe it will help?

Thanks

Brian

Re: [PHP] using new AUTOGLOBALS

[Philip Olson]

As miguel suggests, these are just arrays.  Use them like 
any other array:

  print $arr['key'];
  print "string {$arr['key']} string";
  print 'string ' . $arr['key'] . ' string';
  etc.

Read about arrays and strings:
  http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php
  http://de.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
  http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/using-strings.php

With the only difference being that they are *super* 
global, so no need for: global $_SERVER;  in your 
functions, etc.

Now if you want to be truly cutting edge :) Then consider 
extract() or import_request_variables() like so:

  import_request_variables('g', 'g_');

Which will allow:
  // http://www.example.com/test.php?foo=bar
  print $g_foo;  // the GET variable foo

Which is like:
  print $_GET['foo'];
  print $HTTP_GET_VARS['foo'];

See manual entry for more details and features:
  http://uk.php.net/import_request_variables

The above assumes you want it to be from GET and only GET, 
maybe this is not your desire so modify accordingly.

Or let's say you want to use server predefined variables such 
as $PHP_SELF, $DOCUMENT_ROOT, etc. yet have register_globals 
remain off.  Since register_globals = on creates these, 
consider:

  a) Using $_SERVER or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS in your code i.e.
   print $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
  b) Or use extract()

For example:

  // If register_globals are off (0) then extract
  if (!ini_get('register_globals')) {
extract($HTTP_SERVER_VARS);
  }

  // We just created these!
  print $PHP_SELF;
  print $REQUEST_URI;

Going through $_SERVER is good in that you're not wasting 
energy creating variables you'll never use, so do as 
you will.

extract() has many many options, read about them:
  http://ca.php.net/extract

All of the above should give ideas, have fun!

Philip Olson

Corrected typo:

The problem is that you refer to $test->$words.  You should refer to
$test->words

$test->$words means find the value of $words and look for that variable in
$test.  That is, if $words ="abc",
then $test->$words means $test->abc

This is driving me crazy!  I've created a class to hold data so I can just
put the object into the session rather than saving off each piece of data
separately.  But I'm getting odd results from the arrays in my class that I
can't explain.  Here's a hunk of code that demonstrates:

$words;
echo "1: words = $t\n";// Shows that $words is empty
$this->$words = array();
$t = $this->$words;
echo "2: words = $t\n";   // Shows that $words is an array
$t = $this->$words["Amy"];
echo "3: words[Amy] = $t\n";  // Shows that $words["Amy"] is also an
array -- WHAT??
  }
};

###  Declare a$ to be an array
echo "1: a = $a\n"; // Shows that $a is empty
$a = array();
$t = $a;
echo "2: a = $t\n"; // Shows that $a is an array
$t = $a["Amy"];
echo "3: a[Amy] = $t\n";   // Shows that $a["Amy"] is also
empty -- GOOD

echo "";

## Instantiate a test object
$test = new test;

?>

When I declare a member variable ($words) within the class and then assign
to it an empty array, it seems all the elements of that array are also
arrays -- they should be empty.  When I do the same thing outside of a class
($a), I get the results I expect.

Can anyone tell me why that is?

Thanks

Re: [PHP] Arrays within classes

[Erik Price]

I might be completely mistaken here, but it looks like there are a few 
errors in your code:

- No starting brace for the test() method
- semi-colon used after class def end-brace
- no parentheses after "new test" instance assignment

Don't you want to keep your class as general as possible, and perform 
your error-testing functions on the instances?  It's hard for me to tell 
what kind of data you are trying to represent with this class.  My 
advice is that, even if it seems unnecessarily didactic, you use some 
sort of actual object to help you visualize what you are trying to do 
with this class, like Person() or something -- it helps.  I can't figure 
out what this class is even supposed to do.

No.  The SET modifier (or whatever that is) can only be used to create 
column name/value relationship pairs.  To my knowledge, your syntax 
above (which looks similar to INSERT INTO table (..., ..., ...) 
VALUES (..., ..., ...)) cannot be used for UPDATE statements.

If you have shell access to your database server, you can always CREATE 
TEMPORARY TABLE and test things out on a small scale, then DROP TABLE 
when you're done playing.

[PHP] Arrays within classes

[Brian McLaughlin]

This is driving me crazy!  I've created a class to hold data so I can just
put the object into the session rather than saving off each piece of data
separately.  But I'm getting odd results from the arrays in my class that I
can't explain.  Here's a hunk of code that demonstrates:

$words;
echo "1: words = $t\n";// Shows that $words is empty
$this->$words = array();
$t = $this->$words;
echo "2: words = $t\n";   // Shows that $words is an array
$t = $this->$words["Amy"];
echo "3: words[Amy] = $t\n";  // Shows that $words["Amy"] is also an
array -- WHAT??
  }
};

###  Declare a$ to be an array
echo "1: a = $a\n"; // Shows that $a is empty
$a = array();
$t = $a;
echo "2: a = $t\n"; // Shows that $a is an array
$t = $a["Amy"];
echo "3: a[Amy] = $t\n";   // Shows that $a["Amy"] is also
empty -- GOOD

echo "";

## Instantiate a test object
$test = new test;

?>

When I declare a member variable ($words) within the class and then assign
to it an empty array, it seems all the elements of that array are also
arrays -- they should be empty.  When I do the same thing outside of a class
($a), I get the results I expect.

Can anyone tell me why that is?

Thanks

RE: [PHP] Making sure a post request came from your site

Good starters. I would add one more starter item: don't blindly grab
everything out of the $_POST[] array. Instead, only grab the variables that
*you* put on the form page. A cracker might send you a name/value pair like
"$admin=1", trying to guess what flag you are using for "admin" users.

[PHP] Re: Making sure a post request came from your site

[Julio Nobrega Trabalhando]

  Using sessions, $HTTP_HOST, form keys, $HTTP_REFERER, ip address,
Javascript.

  On a session you can record the user_agent on the first page, the ip, the
host, and check on the form's action page. Form keys are some number you
come up and pass either via url or post, and check on the action page.

  The thing is to find out whetever you can check that should be fixed
between page transitions or things that you can invent.

  Not 100%, but the more, the best.

I use two general principles:

1) Rather than trying to rule out bad stuff, instead rule in good stuff.  
For instance, people often sanitize data with regular expressions that
filter out some selected boogeyman characters (quotes, backslashes,
semicolons, whatever, depending on context). I prefer to always approach
it the other way, thinking of the minimum range of characters that are
actually useful in the context, and allow ONLY those.

   $str = ereg_replace ('[^a-zA-Z]', '', $str);

That way it's much less likely that some unanticipated attack will catch 
me by surprise.

Another way of saying this would be to never assume anything about your 
inputs, and to explicitly mold each input to your program's needs.

2) If you already have a piece of data, try not to get it from the 
browser. Instead, just get the browser to send you a relative pointer to 
the appropriate item within your set.

If someone is selecting an item from a list you already have in your
database, make sure that the 'select' form element sends in the numerical
ID of that item rather than its name - you already know the names. The ID
can immediately be validated or discarded as bogus, and being a number, 
it's much safer to work with.

In an example that came up today, someone needed to select a file stored
on the server, and specify a path. There's no need to specify a full path 
in a case like that; it should always be relative to the top of the area 
in which web visitors are able to view files. In this case, you already 
know the first part of the path and there's no need to have the browser 
tell you. All you need to know is which subpath the user's selected.

Probably all common sense but you never know...

[PHP] Headers not working

[Sheridan Saint-Michel]

I was trying to write a some code that would disallow specific users access
to certain pages.  I had thought this would be as simple as looking at
$PHP_AUTH_USER and sending a 401 header if it was a user that shouldn't have
access to that page.

The problem is the HTTP header was not going out.  I tried 404 and 401, and
then I thought perhaps the HTTP authentication was preventing me from
sending the header, so I tried several different headers (all copied and
pasted from the PHP manual) in an unprotected directory.  I also tried both
IE6 and Mozilla to make sure there wasn't a borwser issue.

The header line seems to be completely overlooked as things echoed below the
header were appearing in the original script.

The test scripts in the unprotected directory are all very simple, for
example:



I have saved three test scripts as both .php and .phps so you can view them.
In addition, I put up an info.php so you can see my entire PHP config in
case that is the problem. (links below).  Also header(Location:) seems to
work without any problems.

So what am I overlooking?

http://www.foxjet.com/test1.php

For starters:

If it's supposed to be a number make sure that it is a number.
If it's supposed to be a name make sure it only contains letters a-z & A-Z &

That sounds like a lot of work (both for you and for the server). Assuming
you want to draw a monthly calendar where each day appears whether or not
it holds any events (it's even easier if you don't need that)...

Just make sure the database returns your results in date order.

   SELECT eventtitle, eventdate FROM event WHERE eventdate>='2002-03-01' 
  AND eventdate<'2002-04-01' ORDER BY eventdate

Then loop through the days and draw any events that happen to occur on 
each day as you get to it:

  $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql);
  for ($day = 1; $day <= $num_days_in_month; $day++)
  {
 print "$day";
 while ($row && (date('j', strtotime($row['eventdate'])) == $day))
 {
print "{$row['eventtitle']}";
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql);
 }
  }

Exactly.  I was kind of blown away when I realized how it all works for 
the first time -- for a few weeks I was assuming that using listboxes or 
radio buttons was safer than using text inputs, since it limits what 
kind of data the user can send you.  But this was completely false 
security on my part, because in reality, the user can send you whatever 
they want -- the browser is only one way to provide this ability to 
users.

Anyone can use telnet to try to send you any POST data they wish, and 
even the stupidest of crackers can figure out how to send GET data in 
the browser's "Address" bar (as you point out in your original post) or 
modify the value in their cookies.

How to make sure that input or other elements of your HTML pages are 
safe?  Religious error checking.  Write some decent error checking 
functions, and then run them on any user-input data you get before you 
allow that data to have any effect on your code.  DevShed recently had 
an article on the subject of writing a class for form validation:  
http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/FormValidatorClass/page1.html

And remember, unless your server is unplugged in a locked room, it's 
never really safe from intrusion.

MySQL is free for that sort of usage, so it only costs their time. If 
they've done it before, it takes about 5 minutes from beginning the 
download to standing up and clapping yourself on the back for a job well 
done - in a unix environment, anyway. Not sure what's involved on the 
Windows side but I expect it's slightly more complicated.

No, nor with it. Someone who wants to mess with you can supply any HTTP

This isn't an answer to your question, but I just wanted to warn you: If 
you place something like a path in a hidden field, or as part of a 
select option, you have no guarantee that a user won't change it before 
submitting the form. Most browsers won't let them, but there are plenty of 
other ways they can (for instance, debugging web proxies that allow 
editing of raw form submissions, and so on).

So it's VERY IMPORTANT that you don't rely on this path without doing
further checks to make sure it's really valid. Otherwise people could try
to read or write any file on your system. They probably won't get away
with writing directly, but if they manage to read your password file or
something, they soon will be writing.

Two problems.

1) It's $_REQUEST, not $_REGISTER

2) Take the outermost quotes off the argument to your print, like so:

   print $_REQUEST["is_name"];

[PHP] Making sure a post request came from your site

[Chris Boget]

For security, you can modify your code so that you check
the $_POST elements instead of using the magic globals.  
That's all well and good.
However, someone copy and save your HTML to their local
machine, change some values, change the "Action" page of the 
form to be http://www.yoursite.com/form_page.php instead of 
"form_page.php".  You'll be checking the $_POST elements
but you won't have any idea that they were changed and posted
from the user's local machine.
Is there any way to determine from where the post request came
from w/o using http_referer?

If you have shell access on your ISP's server, the quickest way to get
that data into the database there is to copy the file across (using FTP or
scp or whatever you use) and then pipe it straight in. Assuming that the
mysqldump file is called 'data.txt', your database name is 'my_database'
and your database username is 'me', you could use a command like this:

   mysql -p -u me my_database < data.txt

It'll ask for your password and then the data will be in.

If you don't have command-line access, you could use a tool like
phpmyadmin, which your ISP may provide. It has an option to import data 
from a mysqldump file.

Worst comes to worst, you can write a quick PHP script that reads each 
line of the .txt file and sends it to mysql_query. Just skip blank lines 
and comments (lines starting with #).

I would find it much more useful to do something like
a transparent include-on-first-use; for a function this
shouldn't be too hard, but I have no idea how to make it
work for a class short of wrapping every method
independantly.

function MyLazy($a) {
if (!function_exists("contentsMyLazy"))
include("contentsmylazy.php");// define the function

return contentsMyLazy($a);
}

RE: [PHP] Writing to Files

Hey All,
I have recently been trying to create some logs for the install
script I
have been making (to make it easier for me to diagnose problems) but I am
wondering how to create and write to text files. I know about the fopen()
and fwrite() functions, which theoretically should enable me to do this
however I am not exactly sure how I should go about this. Also, I realize
that there is limited formatting I can have with text, however I would like
to know if its possible to control the line spacing between the entries, and
whether or not its possible to indent lines. Lastly, are text files a good
idea for logs? Do any of you use anything else I should be aware of?

Thanks for all your help!

If I have as part of a text:

How can I substitute the single quote in "dog's" with say \'
I want to aply a substitution for only the single quote that is between two

grest -- is that like "great" and "best" ?  ;)

I think that Visual QuickPro PHP Advanced, which just came out a month 
or two ago, is pretty good.  I learned a lot of techniques like using 
templates and PHP's object oriented features, and some non-introductory 
coverage of things like databases and security.  However, the book is 
more like a rough guide than an in-depth tutorial, so you really need to 
already know PHP to use it (which is why I liked it -- short and 
sweet).  I'd recommend it to someone who knows PHP basics but might want 
to know how shopping carts are written, or how to use OO or some 
security and database advice.  There's a chapter on XML too, but the XML 
stuff in PHP changes at times so I wouldn't rely on it.

Rasmus Lerdorf wrote a book on PHP for O'Reilly, it apparently just came 
out a few days ago although I haven't read it.  I believe it covers many 
advanced topics as well (not just a tutorial).
