Re: [PHP] Odd strtotime behavior

=== This message is for the benefit of new subscribers and those new to PHP. Please feel free to add more points and send to the list. === 1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP try http://www.php.net/manual/en first. You can download a copy and use it offline also. Please also try http://www.php.net/manual/faq.php to get answers to frequently answered questions about PHP (added by Christophe Chisogne). 2. Try http://www.google.com next. Searching for "php YOUR QUERY" may fetch you relevant results within the first 10 results, if you are lucky. 3. There is a searchable archive of the mailing list discussion at http://phparch.com/mailinglists. Many of the common topics are discussed repeatedly, and you may get answer to your query from the earlier discussions. For example: One of the repeatedly discussed question in the list is "Best PHP editor". Everyone has his/her favourite editor. You can get all the opinions by going through the list archives. If you want a chosen list try this link : http://phpeditors.linuxbackup.co.uk/ (contributed by Christophe Chisogne). 4. Not sure if PHP is working or you want find out what extensions are available to you? Just put the following code into a file with a .php extension and access it through your webserver: If PHP is installed you will see a page with a lot of information on it. If PHP is not installed (or not working correctly) your browser will try to download the file. (contributed by Teren and reworded by Chris W Parker) 5. If you are stuck with a script and do not understand what is wrong, instead of posting the whole script, try doing some research yourself. One useful trick is to print the variable/sql query using print or echo command and check whether you get what you expected. After diagnosing the problem, send the details of your efforts (following steps 1, 2 & 3) and ask for help. 6. PHP is a server side scripting language. Whatever processing PHP does takes place BEFORE the output reaches the client. Therefore, it is not possible to access the users' computer related information (OS, screen size etc) using PHP. You need to go for JavaScript and ask the question in a JavaScript list. On the other hand you can access the information that is SENT by the user's browser when a client requests a page from your server. You can find details about browser, OS etc as reported by this request. - contributed by Wouter van Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker. 7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like "Help!!", "A Question" etc. Especially avoid blank subjects. 8. When you want to start a new topic, open a new mail composer and enter the mailing list address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of replying to an existing thread and replacing the subject and body with your message. 9.

RE: [PHP] Sorting data into columns vertically
Here is a function I use. Assuming data is stored in an array called $items
you will call out horizontalTable() like this:
horizontalTable(3,600,1,3,3, $items);
Here is the horizontalTable() function code:
// $size: number of columns
// $width: table width
// $border: table border
// $cpadding: table cellpadding
// $cspacing: table cellspacing
// $data: array with data you want to display
function horizontalTable($size, $width, $border, $cpadding, $cspacing,
$data)
{
$table_width = $width;
$width = intval($table_width / $size);
$tr = '';
$td = "%s";
$table = "" . $tr;
$i = 0;
foreach($data as $value)
{
$table .= sprintf($td, $value);
$i++;
if(!($i % $size)) {
$table .= '' . $tr;
}
}
while($i % $size)
{
$table .= sprintf($td, ' ');
$i++;
}
$end_tr = strlen($tr) * -1;
if(substr($table, $end_tr) != $tr){
$table .= '';
} else {
$table = substr($table, 0, $end_tr);
}
$table .= '';

The redundancy is in performing client-side validation, because you should
never consider server-side validation as optional.
Aside from the obvious fact that people can (and should be able to) turn
off any client-side scripting, an attacker can do things far more
sophisticated, to the point of writing a specialized Web client
specifically to attack your site.
When you receive a POST request, it will look something similar to this:
POST /path/to/script.php HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 35
Connection: close
first_name=chris&last_name=shiflett
That's it. This may have resulted from the user submitting the following
HTML form:
http://example.org/path/to/script.php" method="post">
You really can't tell what form was used on the receiving site, right? In
fact, you can't even be sure that the user used a form at all. As an
example, people ask on this list about performing a POST with PHP at least
once a week. PHP doesn't need to use an HTML form for this; it just sends
a request similar to the above (see
http://shiflett.org/hacks/php/http_post for an example).
The point is that the client decides what it sends, not you. If you want
to think about security, you have to get rid of the assumption that your
users will all use your site exactly as you intend. As I mentioned before,
client-side checking is basically like saying, "User, can you please send
me a username only if it is less than 10 characters in length and
alphanumeric only?" Someone attacking your site is not going to abide by
your requests.
Hope that helps.

Hey, if they are paying for this service of getting thumbnails.maybe I can write a script that keeps on hitting their site with different random URLs Would be a good way to make them pay for spamming me anyway. Whos with me? Cheers, -Ryan * Getting closer.. Did a little digging.. The script goes to alexa.com, from what I see, alexa is doing the work then sending the pics out. http://pages.alexa.com/prod_serv/xml_feed.html Does this help with anyone explaining how this works?

The redundancy is in performing client-side validation, because you should never consider server-side validation as optional. Aside from the obvious fact that people can (and should be able to) turn off any client-side scripting, an attacker can do things far more sophisticated, to the point of writing a specialized Web client specifically to attack your site. When you receive a POST request, it will look something similar to this: POST /path/to/script.php HTTP/1.1 Host: example.org Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 35 Connection: close first_name=chris&last_name=shiflett That's it. This may have resulted from the user submitting the following HTML form: http://example.org/path/to/script.php"; method="post"> You really can't tell what form was used on the receiving site, right? In fact, you can't even be sure that the user used a form at all. As an example, people ask on this list about performing a POST with PHP at least once a week. PHP doesn't need to use an HTML form for this; it just sends a request similar to the above (see http://shiflett.org/hacks/php/http_post for an example). The point is that the client decides what it sends, not you. If you want to think about security, you have to get rid of the assumption that your users will all use your site exactly as you intend. As I mentioned before, client-side checking is basically like saying, "User, can you please send me a username only if it is less than 10 characters in length and alphanumeric only?" Someone attacking your site is not going to abide by your requests. Hope that helps.

Basically, I never think of it as client-side *versus* server-side. I think of it more like this: 1. Server-side data validation? YES 2. Client-side data validation? Maybe Client-side validation can save people from having to submit their data before realizing a problem. This does nothing for security, but it can be convenient for your users. Of course, this can be more annoying if there are several errors. In addition, I think it's very unprofessional to have a popup appear to display the errors. If you're going to do any client-side validation, you should do something more sophisticated than popping up a JavaScript error message. :-) But, no matter what, always validate data on the server.

Thanks for the great input guys. Sounds like I'm using a sound method now with full server-side validation.

I'm just talking about the basics, like empty required fields, illegal
characters, string lengths, etc.
I would shove off as much work as possible for the client to do on his/her machine and not bog down my server which could be busy serving pages/processing bigger and better things. Plus it also cuts down on bandwidth because you only send the form to the server if the _javascript_ checked everything and didn't find any errors. The downside is that you have to make sure the client has _javascript_ turned on otherwise your form authentication will not work and the code for your _javascript_ is available to the user to see and if you have any bugs in it then they can see and work around it.
I guess it would depend on the site you are planning to do the authentication on. If the site is not super busy, bandwidth is not an issue and your server is not pegged at 100% most of the time then I would suggest using PHP to validate your forms because it's "safer" since the client can not see your code and it doesn't matter if the user has _javascript_ turned on of off. Just my $0.02...

The regex does continue trying to make matches, but the point at which it
continues is just past your replacement. In other words, the trailing
comma in ,NULL, is not considered part of the string to match/replace.
This should do the trick:
preg_replace('/,\s*(?=[,\)])/', ',NULL', $input);
(?=pattern) is a positive lookahead. It evaluates true if the next
characters match the pattern, but those characters are not consumed.
So that regex is equivalent to "match a pattern starting with a comma
followed by any existing spaces, ONLY IF the next character is , or )"
The most robust way you could write this regex is:
preg_replace('/([,\(])\s*(?=[,\)])/', '\1NULL', $input);
I know you'll probably never have input like (),
but it would work as expected.
Many tricky regex problems can be solved by lookaheads. There is also a
negative lookahead (?!pattern) ... also note that this is an advanced
regex feature and won't it work on many regex engines not based on PCRE.

The actual code you use to validate remains hidden from a potential malicious user, while javascript code can be seen, so if there is a hole in your error checking, it can be found easier. The big advantage to javascript is that it is fast, since a request isn't sent back to the server, processed, and then sent back. It also reduces network traffic, and reduces server load. > That's how I've always done it > because I know > PHP better than JavaScript, but wouldn't it make sense to > validate as much > of your form as possible using JavaScript before the form was > ever posted? > I'm just talking about the basics, like empty required fields, illegal > characters, string lengths, etc. even if you partially validate on the client, you still have to validate on the client side, which seems redundant to me. > > What are your preferred methods?

I can tell you this much, .cfm is ColdFusion. And CF is somewhat similar to PHP in it's embedded-in style of scripting. It could be similar to how you can build a PDF.

I'm sure it's a very *expensive* process (server & CPU -wise) though. -M -Original Message- From: Jake McHenry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 1:11 PM To: 'Ryan A' Cc: 'Php-general' Subject: RE: [PHP] picturing webpage > -Original Message- > From: Ryan A [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 12:55 PM > To: David T-G > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] picturing webpage > > > Hey, > These sons of bitches at top--sites have done this, I call them that > coz I regularly get spam from them. > > Try this URL: http://top--sites.com/update.htm?d=spamcop.com&e=p > > change spamcop to any other url... > > Cheers, > -Ryan > > > > On 1/9/2004 4:28:33 PM, David T-G ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > > Eli -- > > > > ...and then Eli Hen said... > > % > > % Hello All, > > > > Hi! > > > > > > % > > % I wanted to know if it is possible to picture a webpage > via PHP. % > > By "picturing" I mean that the program can generate a > picture, a view, > > out > > > > Hmmm...

However, whenever possible you should perform client side validation to make your forms more usable as the users do not have to wait for the server to process the submitted form to tell the user about invalid fields, if with some client side validation that feedback can be antecipated. You may want to take a look and this popular forms generation and validation class that not only can perform many built-in supported types both client side and server side validation, as it can preform some pre-processing of values like capitalization of text values, auto-completion or reformatting based on rules define with regular expressions also with support to perform that on client and server side.

RE: [PHP] Form validation: client- or server-side?
Yes, it's considered best practice to do as much client-side validation as you can as to save your server time and load. This doesn't mean you still shouldn't do full validation on the server-side, but the fewer times the form is posted to your site the better. You might want to recheck what Javascript can do now - it's pretty extensive for a client-side scripting language. -M -Original Message- From: Matt Grimm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 1:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Form validation: client- or server-side?

[PHP] Re: not sure why regex is doing this
Hi Craig,
the mistake is in regex, because you replace only the pair of "," with
",NULL,"... So in case, that there are tree "," in row, there is only one
pair and it means one replacing..
For example, when your string is like this: (12345) //two pair of ",,"
the result is (12345,NULL,,NULL,)
But now - I don't know, how to change regex easily to help you... :o)) In
case, that I have any idea, I will write you again :o)
PJ

RE: [PHP] Dynamically Created Arrays
Hi Marek,
I came up with this hack, which seems to work:
$query = "SELECT name, value FROM config WHERE site = '$site' ORDER BY name,
seq";
$result = mysql_query($query)
or die("Query failed : " . mysql_error());
$conf = array ();
$last = "";
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
if ($line['name'] == $last) {
array_push($conf[$last], $line['value']);
} else {
$last = $line['name'];
$conf[$last] = array ($line['value']);
}
}
mysql_free_result($result);
Your's seems more elegant, so I'll give it a try.
Thanks,

[PHP] not sure why regex is doing this
Hi,
I have a text file that I have to parse and insert into a db.
these are a couple of sample lines (they are part of the
variable $query)
(4536,'golf tournament management',430,0,0),
(1434,'Premium golf balls',,,0),
I have to replace the blank entries (,,) with NULLs,
and I am using this regex:
$query = preg_replace('/,\s*,/',',NULL,', $query, -1);
after this line, only ONE of the ,, sets is replaced
by ,NULL, like this:
(4536,'golf tournament management',430,0,0),
(1434,'Premium golf balls',NULL,,0),
So, my problem is that I have to run the regex twice to
replace both sets of ,, with ,NULL, and I really don't
want to do that. Why isn't it getting them both with the
first regex, and how should I modify it to catch them
both?

You can't get any serious or useful advice if you don't explain what it is that you're trying to accomplish with your script, i.e., what purpose(s) it serves. One thing I can tell you right now is that "SELECT *" is rarely a good idea, unless you really are going to use every column in the table you're querying. Consider using "SELECT column1, columnx" instead. Cheers, Erik -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The link you supplied is useless, because of course all PHP code is processed at the server and nothing reachers the browser. It's difficult to say what could be going wrong without knowing more about your server setup. My suggestion is that you try using a good socket-based mailing script to circumvent your web server's sendmail shortcomings.

[PHP] Dynamically Created Arrays
Hey guys, I'm making progress on my perl to PHP conversion project but I need some help... I have a configuration table in MySQL made up like this: CREATE TABLE config ( code mediumint(9) NOT NULL auto_increment, site varchar(32) NOT NULL default '', name varchar(64) NOT NULL default '', value varchar(128) NOT NULL default '', seq smallint(4) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (code) ) TYPE=MyISAM; It has data like this: | 1 | site1 | homedir | /var/www/htdocs/site1 | NULL | | 2 | site1 | groupname | Group1| 1| | 3 | site1 | groupname | Group2| 2| I use this query to get the configuration data: SELECT name, value FROM config WHERE site = '$site' ORDER BY name, seq What I want to create is an array of arrays like this: $conf[$name][] = $val; or array_push($conf[$name], $val); So I end up with something like: $conf[homedir][0] = /var/www/htdocs/site1 $conf[groupname][0] = Group1 $conf[groupname][1] = Group2 If I were still in Perl-land, I'd use a hash of arrays and push things into it, but I don't seem to have that option now and I keep getting "Use of undefined constant name" errors. Am I going about this in the right way? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cameron -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Display syslog file?
On Fri, 2004-01-09 at 10:05, Carlton L. Whitmore wrote:
I'm using the root user to access the file so rights aren't an issue.
Actually it is an issue because PHP is not running with root privileges (at least I hope you haven't changed it and made it run with root privileges; that would be a _bad_ thing). The reason why only root can access your syslog file is because it contains very specific information about what is running on your machine. If the syslog file would be readable by all users on your machine then a clever user could gain root access by exploiting something that he/she found in the syslogfile. It's usually not a good idea to publish the contents of your syslog file to the world accessable via HTTP either. However if you want to throw caution to the wind keep reading...
I want to display the file thru a webserver. I'd like the page to
refresh so I can watch the activity coming in from my SonicWall router.
I don't mind watching all the activity coming in on that syslog file,
maybe later I can limit what is displayed.
Ok, so we know that the PHP process does not have access to your syslog file because the file is read-only/write-only by root _and_ read-only by users who are in the root group:
-rw-r- 1 root adm 1285 Jan 9 06:00 /var/log/syslog
I assume you are running PHP as an apache module and apache is running as user "apache" on your system. So check to see if the apache user is in the root group (the command is "group apache"). If the command only returns "apache" (which it should) then it means that the apache user is only part of the "apache" group on your system. What you could do is add the apache user to the root group but please understand you are creating a big security hole here. When joe hacker comes along and notices this he can trick your apache server to run command on your machine with root privileges. Not a good thing...
Another, less intrusive, way to do this is to create a cron job (as root) that executes every minutes and copies the contents of the syslog file into another file, readable by the apache user, and displaying the contents of that file on your webpage. The downside to this is that you will have a 1 minute delay in the information you see on the webpage.
Hope this helped...

Some how you want to get the permissions of the syslog file to those of your webserver so that you can display the file properly. You dont want you webserver having root access at all. I dont know off hand how to have syslog log to a file and change the permissions of that file. You might have to have cron running and copying that file to apaches doc_root and running that every 5 minutes or less. You would have a little php [perl,bash] run from root's crontab that would copy the file and change the permissions for you. That might be the easiest way to do it. -- Ray > > > > -Original Message- > From: Ray Hunter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 8:46 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] Display syslog file? > > > > On Fri, 2004-01-09 at 07:28, Carlton L.

What should be there instead of \n\n? I tried without any newlines
with the error "Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already
sent..."
One newline gives "Cannot send session cookie - headers already
sent..." and then the same error as above.
Do you know of a site where I can find "headers001" and what headers
are sent by session_start()?
Actually, my program worked just fine before my ISP upgraded to 4.3.4.

Aha! That explains it a bit. Without me having to print Content-type...,
(i.e. in a .php file), sessions seem to be working just fine.

[PHP] [problem solved] -> Is it possible to see if a jpeg is RGB or CMYK via PHP GD2?
I was to fast on this list... I found the solution reading the manual better ;) ... With JPG images, two extra indexes are returned: channels and bits. channels will be 3 for RGB pictures and 4 for CMYK pictures. bits is the number of bits for each color. Beginning with PHP 4.3, bits and channels are present for other image types, too. However, the presence of these values can be a bit confusing. As an example, GIF always uses 3 channels per pixel, but the number of bits per pixel cannot be calculated for an animated GIF with a global color table. ... -Original Message- From: SED [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 9. janúar 2004 09:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Is it possible to see if a jpeg is RGB or CMYK via PHP GD2?

Ok, you don't need the first line (#!/lusr/bin/php), because this is a script for the web and will be processed by the web server. But you do need to save the file action.php with the ".php" suffix. I've just checked your online pages and your form is being sent to "action.html", not "action.php", so the PHP code is not being processed, because your web server doesn't look for PHP code in HTML files. I had a look at the source of your action.html file and it's like this: Hi. Your name is . The phpinfo() function is going to print a long list of information about PHP on the server, so you might want to remove that. So, to recap, you need to change the action attribute in your index.html file to "action.php", and then rename the file action.html to action.php (and maybe remove the phpinfo() function while you're at it). That should do the trick. Good luck, Erik --- End Message --- --- Begin Message --- I have a problem with html headers using sessions. I guess it has to do with the Content-type line. My ISP uses PHP 4.3.4 with register_globals = On (although I want this to work with Off too). My program (test3.cgi, test3.php) simply logs the number of times I have accessed a web site. As a php file it works as supposed to only that there's no Content-type line. As a .cgi file the script has to have the Content-type line in order to be executed. With Content-type BEFORE session_start(), $_SESSION doesn't seem to be set. Alternatively, with Content-type AFTER session_start(), I get "Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by..."

[PHP] critical case, please read and comment !!
I have the following example case: 1- More than 1000 record in my MySQL database. 2- I have to submit those record via HTTP GET or POST method. 3- I have to read the confirmation message that will be printed on the remote page showing me that the vars have been inserted in the remote database. 4- of course, I have a limitation of executing time of 30 seconds and i should not modify the php.ini i did the following scenario : http://anotherwebserver/url2.php?var1=$var1$var2=$var2&var3=$var3";, "r") ; $data = fread($handle, 11); fclose($handle); if ($data == $var1) return true; else return false; } for ($i=0 ; $i 1-the problem is that the 30 second of execution time expired before i can send even 200 records. 2- in case of not connection of the remote page, and i did not get the $var1 printed ($data == $var1) then i have to re submit this record.
