Re: [PHP] How to use fopen() with protected directory (i.e .htaccess)
At 06:22 11.02.2003, Daevid Vincent said:
[snip]
How can I pass in a user/pw to an fopen() (or something similar)?
You don't. fopen() doesn't access the server via HTTP. It's PHP that
executes this call, sitting at the server, using the servers file system
(except when opening a remote site, but that's a different story). If you
are allowed (by means of opsys rights and PHP admin limits, such as
safe_mode) to open the file it will be opened for you, even if it is not
within the virtual web server directory tree.
I am trying to render a dynamic db/php page into a static .html page --
or more specifically, I'm trying to email me back an html version of a
report page on remote servers. The reports are located behind an
https:// Apache user/pass authenticated directory.
I tried:
$file =
fopen(https://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/admin/report.php,r;);
You can't open a remote SSL location using fopen(). Have a look at cUrl to
accomplish this.
If I try to do something like:
$file = fopen(/www/htdocs/admin/report.php,r);
But then the PHP isn't executed, it just dumps me the straight source
code.
If you can open and read the report, there's only one more step to execute
it: use eval():
$fname = /www/htdocs/admin/report.php
$file = fopen($fname,r);
if ($file) {
$code = fread($file, filesize($fname));
fclose($file);
@eval($code);
}
else
die Can't open file $fname\n;

[PHP] Objects: Cant set object variables with refrences ...
My problem is illistrated by the following test code:
class test {
var $flag = 0;
function getFlag() { return $this-flag; }
var $t;
function Init() {
$c = new test;
$this-t = $c;
$c-flag = 1000;
}
function EchoFunc() { echo(= . $this-t-getFlag()); }
}
$test = new test;
$test-Init();
$test-EchoFunc();
When run, the number 0 is returned. Given copying symantecs, this is what
you would expect. $c is initilized with flag=0, the next line takes a copy
of $c and puts it in $t, the next line sets flag=1000 on $c, but not on $t.
However I would like refernce semantics and the final output of this script
to be 1000. So I changed the line to $this-t = $c; and suddenly I get
the error: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
/user/sh/jmb/Project/Wiki/Public_html/test.php on line 25
Anyone have any help on what is happening?
Thanks,
James.

[PHP] Q. on ereg_replace
i'm creating sort of a very simple css-alike-thing for outputting html to
flash actionscript.
the php gets a string ($text) from the database, which look something like:
h1header 1 /h1 etc...
then, from a 'css' file it reads the strings $replace and $replacement
it looks something like:
$number = count($arr_replace);
$i = 0;
do {
$replace = stripcslashes($arr_replace[$i]);
$replacement = stripcslashes($arr_replace[$i]);
$text = ereg_replace($replace, $replacement, $text);
$i++;
} while ($i $number);
this works fine, except that after the ereg_replace some newlines are
inserted. I could strip them, but then i'm also stripping the original
newlines (which were in the string already) so, i'd be happier finding a way
of using this script without ereg_replace inserting newline (i don't
understand why it does anyway)
any suggestions?

Hi.
Im working with a multidimensional array where the data in the

Although I've never personally used it, I believe usort() is what you
need:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.usort.php
You would need to create a callback function, something like:
function cmp($a, $b) {
if ($a-fieldNo == $b-fieldNo) { return 0; }
return ($a-fieldNo $b-fieldNo) ? 1 : -1;
}
usort($structArray, 'cmp');
Thanks for the reply. I had already tried usort previously. For some reason, there
is no data for the array fields at all in the cmp function - not sure why. Does
anyone know? All help is appreciated! Thanks.

[PHP] Image processing: tolerance of damaged files
Hi folks, I have an image processing module for converting resizing uploaded images. My customer has 1000s of images from various sources, and a significant percentage are not 100% correct. At present I am using ImageMagick, but it chokes if the image is in any way damaged. At present the customer has to load the images into PhotoShop and re-save, which seems to fix them most of the time. Do any of the other Linux libraries, such as Netpbm, handle damaged images more robustly? I would very much value any feedback - I don't have a lot of time for testing...

[PHP] Problem with FTP and fopen
OK, I used the php ftp_put function successfully to upload a file. But this is not what I need. I need to use the ftp_fput function to transfer from a file pointer.

Re: [PHP] mac os 9 - file upload problems
I have a file upload page that accepts file uploads from pretty much every browser and os EXCEPT any browser on mac os 9. [...] Hi Jimmy, I routinely use Mac OS 9.x and both Netscape 7 and IE 5.1 to upload files to sites written in PHP. I also maintain these sites. The only problems I've encountered are when users try to upload files with something funky in the filename which I did not anticipate. Is it possible that uploads are failing because your Mac users are uploading files with no file extensions and this is somehow interfering with the code you're using to process the file? File extensions are not required on Mac OS 9.x so it wouldn't be uncommon at all to find a Mac user uploading, say, a PDF without a .pdf extension. If you'd like to post a URL or some code I'd be happy to take a look. Hope this helps, -Step -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

function deleteMailbox ($mailbox) {
$existing_boxes = imap_listmailbox($this-stream, { .
$this-imap[host$
if ( empty($existing_boxes) ) {
$this-Error = deleteMailbox(): mailbox does not exist.;

}
# Now we add the delete ACL to cyrus feature...

[PHP] PHP 4.3.0 + MSSQL database authentication problem?
Hello, Because I am not sure if this is just a PHP issue or a PHP+DB issue, I will be posting this message (seperately) to bith the General and PHP-DB lists. First, a brief rundown of my setup: Mandrake Linux 9.0 Apache 1.3.27 PHP 4.3.0 We are in the process of rebuilding our outdated servers, and all sites have been moved over successfully, except our own, which has a Control Panel login. The login authentication is done using FreeTDS to an MSSQL 2000 database. This setup works fine on the current server, but when I test it on the new server, the authentication seems to work fine, but instead of the screen I normally see when logging in, I just get kicked back to the Control Panel login screen. At first, I suspected FreeTDS, but I have confirmed that a connection is definately being made by enabling and examining the dump file. The FreeTDS mailing list has confirmed that this is also the case. The current (working) server is running Apache 1.3.27 + PHP v4.1.2 . I had a similar problem on the current working server when I tried upgrading the PHP to v4.2.3 just before Xmas. I have not yet tried downgrading to v4.1.2 on the new server, but I would rather not. I am not really sure where to proceed from here. I can provide any further information you need, or can possibly provide a Test account if you wish to see for yourself what it is doing, which may give some ideas as to what is happening. Is there perhaps some logging variables I can enable in the Control Panel PHP script to see what is going on? Thank you, in advance, for your help and advice in this matter.

Presumably they're in SQL format, or something similar?
The easiest way is to convert them to unix timestamps (look into the date()
and mktime() functions to see how this is done).
Timestamps are integers representing the number of seconds since 1st January
1970, so comparisons are extremely easy :-)

In the server database keep the hashed values and compare them with what the client sends. Keeping the hashed values in the database is more secure than unencrypted passwords, and you don't want to look at users' passwords anyway, do you?

My understanding of PHP FTP is that my script opens an ftp connection from the server to another FTP server somewhere else on the internet. Basically, PHP FTP does nothing more than a program like SmartFTP or WS-FTP. Even the first line in the PHP manual about FTP says The functions in this extension implement client access to file servers speaking the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Someone please tell me that I am correct and that this webhost is wrong. :) Chris I have been speaking with our linux techs, and have gained a more complete understanding of the feature in PHP that you want to use. We actually did have it enabled at one point, and it caused the server to be compromised. Essentially, it allows people on a machine to be able to transfer files from anywhere on the internet. This begs for people who want to run warez sites, and the like, to hack the server, and use it for their own illegal software stores. The level of permission required to allow this to run allows people to essentially load, and run whatever they want. This is an EXTREME security problem. I understand that you are moving, and I cannot persuade you differntly, but please take my advise and do some independant research. The individual that is advising you about this program is downplaying some real problems. It is the opinion of our techs, that if you are running this, eventaully, you WILL be hacked. There a plenty of things that can be done to ftp to a machine without that functionality running. We know that you have a number of sites, and we know that you would likely referr business. That being the case, it just doesn't make sense that we would not do this for you if it were safe, or even a minor problem. It is a big problem, not just with us, but with anyone running it on the internet. Please ask someone other than the person that is trying to sell it to you. That is all we ask. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you're looking for performance then, all things being equal (same machine, same network connectivity), you're more likely to get that with a un*x system than a Windows system.

Re: [PHP] mail() and php.ini (Any Luck???)
No, nothing is misconfigured on this machine. The problem is the firewall and the nameserver. So, the easy workaround to it is to use the MS-Exchange on Window. Sendmail on Unix still doesn't allow me to use more stuffs, so I had to use MS-Exchange. Sendmail is not the right kind of email service to use, so I can't use it. By the way, Found a nice open-source script at www.phpclasses.org that would allow me to connect to MS-Exchange. Very nice, I'm going to use this. Thanks!!! Thanks, Scott F. Reuben D.

I consider FTP a security risk, period. (There /are/ ways to run an FTP server securely, but I won't assume everyone, or even anyone, knows this.) The possibility of having plain-text authentication flying around ... security risk. This is probably the perspective of your hosting company. You may want to only access a server which provides anonymous FTP. You might not use the same username and password to the FTP server that you use on the hosting server. You might only be accessing a server on a trusted network. But you're just one user. From a sysadmin perspective, that's a lot of assumptions made about all the other users who could potentially use those FTP functions and not take the precautions you took. (Not to mention, that it's a bit rude to expose someone's FTP server to compromise just because the security issue doesn't affect the hosting server. Plain-text authentication, such that FTP and Telnet use, are the bane of sysadmin existence ... usernames and passwords are sniffed too easily.) That said ... FTP is a protocol; there's nothing stopping you from opening a socket and talking FTP back forth across it (unless your host has disabled fsockopen() too). If you know the protocol, you probably know how and why to avoid its security concerns. Other options: Move to a less security-minded hosting provider (looks like you've already started that), or ask the FTP server admin to provide download access to your file via HTTP. ... hope that provides some insight. ~Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Newbie php.ini
I'm completely new to php but am interested in getting things runnng on a live apache server. The default php.ini file has a huge security disclaimer at the top stating that the default configuration is not sufficiently secure for production. It references the php manual chapter on security for more information. I've read the manual, but in my green state it's still not clear to me what I should change to keep my server from being hacked. Would anyone be able to provide a standard ini file or list of changes to the default that would keep me out of trouble with regards to security and let me learn to use php as time permits?

Chris, Did you read the rest of the message? It sounds like the web host is saying that someone can access PHP FTP from an outside server and hack into the server. I am not trying to start a debate on whether or not people should send passwords and userids over plain text. Yes, that is a security risk. My concern is that this webhost is telling my customer that PHP FTP itself is a security risk when it does nothing more than act like ws-ftp.

For them to allow PHP's FTP extension, they would need to configure PHP with the --enable-ftp flag as described here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.ftp.php They may not have done this, and your script would exit with an error similar to the following: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ftp_connect()... Are you sure there are no errors? I am assuming you viewed the source, not just the browser's rendered page. If you are using fopen() to retrieve a file via FTP, it is possible that your host uses the --disable-url-fopen-wrapper flag to disable this. This is generally done to protect the inexperienced developers who may use these functions with unvalidated client data, opening themselves to security risks. I have been speaking with our linux techs, and have gained a more complete understanding of the feature in PHP that you want to use. We actually did have it enabled at one point, and it caused the server to be compromised. This sounds like they are thinking about an FTP server. Essentially, it allows people on a machine to be able to transfer files from anywhere on the internet. This begs for people who want to run warez sites, and the like, to hack the server, and use it for their own illegal software stores. The level of permission required to allow this to run allows people to essentially load, and run whatever they want. This is an EXTREME security problem. This demonstrates that they have no idea what they are talking about and have been scared by stories of security vulnerabilities found in FTP servers (such as WU-FTP). By their logic, if Apache had security vulnerabilities, it would be best to not allow people to run Mozilla. It is the opinion of our techs, that if you are running this, eventaully, you WILL be hacked. There a plenty of things that can be done to ftp to a machine without that functionality running. There seems to be too much confusion going on here for these people to be Web hosts. You're probably wise to be leaving anyway.

[PHP] newbie-php user tracker prob
Pretty new to PHP but I've always wanted to make a user tracking system.
I'm trying to grab a number (sessionNum) out of a text file and increment it whenever
someone leaves and comes back to the site.. the problem is the text file appears to be
cached somewhere, the first time someone comes back the value is incremented and
appended but if they leave again and then come back the file's contents appear to be
unchanged. Opening the file up after the first time reveals that it has been appended
but after subsequent visits it is not (but yet it still goes through the function).
I tried just appending the info on with 'a' but since it didnt work I have it
rewriting the whole file still doesnt work however...
thanks if you can give any help.
an example of the file's contents:
1-12:17:2:Tuesday:February:11:2003--page1,page2,page3,
(sessionNum-date-referer-pagelist)
the function I'm using :
function incSession($trackFile, $pagename){
if (file_exists($trackFile)){
//read the file
$fileLine = file_get_contents($trackFile);
print alert('File contents before write : $fileLine');;
//split the tracker file's contents into major sections
Session-Date-Referer-Pages
$headerArray = explode(-, $fileLine);
//get correct entry for last session number in the tracker file
$headerArrLen = count($headerArray);
$arrayentry = $headerArrLen - 3; //back 3 to get last session number entry
$arrayentry = $arrayentry - 1; //correct number to account for number sys.
beggining with 0
//get the old session number and increment it
$sessionNum = $headerArray[$arrayentry];
$sessionNum = $sessionNum + 1;
//get timestamp-user function
$currentDate = makeDate('PHP');
//get referer site if it exists
$referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
//put it together for output
$addon = '-' . $sessionNum . '-' . $currentDate . '-' . $referer . '-' .
$pagename;
$everything = $fileLine . $addon;
print alert('To be appended to file : $addon');;
print alert('File contents after write : $everything');;
//user tracker file is appended with new session date referer and page
$fp = fopen($trackFile, 'w');
fwrite($fp, $everything);
fclose($fp);
}
}

[PHP] OO newb question....query results from a class

I am just getting going with OO stuff and I am stumped at how to pull

is my code:

$DateView = date(Y-m-d);
$sql = SELECT date_format(sys_time_sign_in, '%h:%i %p') as sign_in FROM

sys_time_date='$DateView' AND sys_time_flag='ON';
$result = $db_obj-query($sql);
if (DB::isError($result))
die($result-getMessage());
while($rows = $db_obj-fetchRow($result, DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC))
{
$retval[] = $rows;
}
$retval = Array();
$retval['signin'] = $signin;
return $retval;
}
}
/*
now to try to get at the var $retval
*/
$userinfo = new user();
echo $userinfo-get_signin();
It just returns Array? How do I, for lack of a better wordget to
this array? Outside of a class it works great, I echo $rows['sign_in']
and it works. But this! Help!

RE: [PHP] PHP FTP a security risk?????
Please correct me if I am wrong, but it is impossible for a remote machine to make an ftp connection to local machine running just PHP/Apache/Mysql. The ftp functions available in PHP enable PHP scripts to act as an FTP client and can not be used to accept remote FTP connections. Other functions (the socket functions) however, could be used to create what is needed in order provide the FTP server functionality that your ISP fears. It is these functions that your ISP should be disabling and not the FTP functions in order to protect themselves from a client allowing FTP access via a PHP script that they have written.

I created it the server was running PHP 4.1.2. The server I am on was
upgraded to ver 4.2.2. When that happend the script stop working correctly.
It appeared to work, but the email never arrived. So, I wrote a simple
script that looked that this:
?
if(mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','Testing','testinging 123'));
echo sent

it would always show sent, but the message never arrived.

I'm running PHP 4.2.2 and I'm having trouble with the printf() function. I want to be able to print data in space padded fields with the alpha strings left justified and the numeric strings right justified. For some reason I can't get printf() to pad with spaces. It pads with -s and right aligns the data For example this code: printf(%' -20s %' 20s %' -20sbr\n,$algen, $calc_amt, $range); returns this output: Algae 292 very high which shows no padding. This code: printf(%'-20s %'20s %'-20sbr\n,$algen, $calc_amt, $range); returns this output: ---Algae 292 ---very high which pads only the first and third strings with - and not and right justifies to the right and not left. This code: printf(%'\ -20s %'\ 20s %'\ -20sbr\n,$algen, $calc_amt, $range); returns this output: Algae 292 very high with no padding and no justification.

That's a good way to handle it while they're in the browser but what if they
close it and log off then come back on and visit again? I want to track the
user as they move through my site, write what pages they go to and when they
log onto my site, where they come from and how many times they come.
I thought about logging their IP but what good does that do when a lot of
people still have dial up? I could set a cookie, and I have tried that,
however when I try to access that cookie with PHP upon their return it does
not see it. Javascript sees the cookie fine but by then PHP is done
processing.
It could be that I set the cookie with Javascript but even then PHP still
sees it after the page is reloaded or the user browses to the next page. I
couldn't set the cookie with PHP because I needed it to occur after checking
to see if they had a cookie etc... I tried using output buffering but it
still didnt work.
I read in the manual that sessions are just meant to last as long as the
user is in the browser so I dont know what to do.
Your thoughts on this?

I don't expect you to be a security expert, but think with me through a very common scenario sysadmins must account for. I'll use the word you in a general sense: You access an FTP server with a user name and a password to retrieve a file via PHP FTP. The user name and password is the same that grants you access to your hosting providers server. (People do this v.frequently. Most people have trouble remembering one username/password, so they make the dangerous choice to use one username/password over and over again.) A malicious individual sniffs your username and password while you transfer a file via FTP from to you hosting provider. Once the individual has his way with your FTP site using your credentials, (s)he does the obvious next step ... attempts to use the same credentials to gain access to your hosting providers server. Make sense? That didn't take much time, effort, or thought to get the hosting provider compromised. And note that it had nothing to do with PHP. It has everything to do with FTP itself. Like I said, originally, you and/or your customer might take precautions against something like this, but there's no way a responsible sysadmin can assume or be assured that every user on a system will do the same. The hosting provider isn't trying to protect itself from malicious people attacking some vulnerability in PHP's FTP extensions. The webhost is trying to protect itself from it's own users who might code somthing using an insecure protocol which might allow malicious people easily gain access credentials to its servers, or othewise allow abuse of a server's resources. PHP's FTP extenstions aren't a security risk. The security risk is what users can do with FTP. At the /risk/ of introducing more reasons for the webhost to disallow the FTP extensions, forward them this thread and ask if these are indeed their reasons. I am not trying to start a debate on whether or not people should send passwords and userids over plain text. Yes, that is a security risk. My concern is that this webhost is telling my customer that PHP FTP itself is a security risk when it does nothing more than act like ws-ftp. Ws-ftp uses plain-text authentication.

Is there a way to configure php to use a database for sessions rather than a text file. I have a server farm and want the session files to be accessible to all machines in the cluster. I can have the session file on nfs but I am worried about file locking. I have read tutorials on how to set session.save_handler = user and then each script configures their seesion variables and connections, but I want this to be transparant to my users. I do not want users to have to change anything in their scripts. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I want to be able to print data in space padded fields with the alpha strings left justified and the numeric strings right justified. For some reason I can't get printf() to pad with spaces. It pads with -s and right aligns the data For example this code: printf(%' -20s %' 20s %' -20sbr\n,$algen, $calc_amt, $range); returns this output: Algae 292 very high which shows no padding. View source, and see what you find there. You should consider tables or replacing the spaces with the entity nbsp; -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] File upload???
Can anybody help me with file uploading, again... Have you tried using the fairly simple example that is given at http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php yet? I've found that starting with this example and then adding all the extras tends to work well when you've got problems. But then, I ended up adding file upload stuff to the form validation class that I use and this has ended most of my file upload problems.

[PHP] Issue saving php that includes constant---
I collect some PHP code in an HTML form (textarea) I then save this in an array in a file using export_var(). If the code entered in the textarea is this: echo To ._LOGIN. click the login link below; And the constant _LOGIN happens to be defined in the current script that generates the form (maybe _LOGIN = Login ), then the result after my var_export() to the file is this: $var = 'To Login click the login link below;'; Any ideas on how to keep the text of the constant definition in the string instead of it being evaluated???
