Re: [PHP] Re: Embedded Email Directives
Hello, On 07/17/2004 03:11 AM, Curt Zirzow wrote: remove carriage returns to prevent embedded email directives In an other thread, I readed that sentence. I'm interested to find more information about that. I have some mail forms and want to make them as secure and possible, but do not know about what and where should I filter. Should I filter all CR and LF Just in headers or also I should do that in the message body? (Which is sent in the SMTP DATA section). For SMTP, all lines should be ended with CR+LF, or else messages may be discarded by spam filters or other programs. However, if you use the mail() function it may do some filtering on its own. The mail() function does not do any filtering. Read the source first to learn more about it. I have read it, and am very familiar with it. Every time there is a post about mail() and the person is unfamiliar with properly sending SMTP headers or data to sendmail, You *claim* its a bug with php's mail() call without knowing what version of php they are using. You never ask if they are using windows which uses php's built in sendmail tool. Nor do you never ask what MTA that sendmail is really representing. If you pay more attention you may notice that I always say that it *sounds* like a PHP bug. I am not even saying that is necessarily a PHP bug. After almost 5 years helping people that post messages asking for help about mail function problems, it is easy for me to make early diagnostics just from the sympthoms. If somebody presents a correctly written piece of code that uses the mail() function and still have problems, those problems have to be somewhere else than the user code. It is rarely in the involved MTA, so it may only be in the user enviroment configuration or in the PHP mail() function implementation. Certain sympthoms are usually related to bugs in the mail() function. You do not have to be wizard to realize that, just have reasonable experience on the subject will do. My reponses to you're email's are not targeted against you, but simply correcting the facts as of current. So, you probably need to pay more attention because you seem to be departing from wrong assumptions. As far as what filtering is going on, please enlighten me, this is the logic of the mail function: I don't know what you think I mean when I say filtering. To make it clear, filtering for me is processing some input to produce some output. In this case the inputs are the mail function arguments and output is the message that is fed to the MTA. It may not only remove, but also add or change characters. All that is filtering to me. trim leading space and make To: rfc822 compliant trim leading space and make Subject: rfc822 compliant These actions are filtering. open pipe to sendmail send the To: address send the Subject: if headers was sepecified, send those as well PHP adds several line feeds. These are filtering to me as well. send the message. close the pipe to sendmail. Now I do wonder where in the world filtering is going on there. What I wonder is why did you just mentioned what the mail function does when it calls sendmail! AFAIK, PHP does not come with a built-in sendmail tool for Windows, unlike you mention above. Maybe you know something that I am not aware. What I know is that when sendmail is not available, PHP calls Win32 code to send the message relaying in an SMTP server. There is plenty of filtering done there as you may see when reading the source. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Php wrote: > And you can also used a php variable to detect multiple submit: Even better would be using a token which you give to the user when the form is displayed. That way they can't accidentally submit the form on first entry to the site (and believe me, this can happen, because Konqueror occasionally remembers a form submission page was in its window the last time it was run, and tries to reload the page!) You would generate a random number during the process of displaying the form, then store that random number into the user's session under that form's ID. The number would have to be put into a hidden form field in the HTML as well. Then when they submit, you compare the value they send with the value you have stored in their session. The frameworks on Java like Struts can automate this. Perhaps that MVC.PHP which claims to be a port of Struts can also automate it.

If all you're trying to do is determine whether the files are different,
and the files are relatively small, then it might be easiest to do
something like:
function filediff($foo, $bar) {
$f_foo = file_get_contents($foo);
$f_bar = file_get_contents($bar);
return ($f_foo == $f_bar);
}
Note that this has the opposite return value of your existing function:
it returns true if the files are THE SAME, like the unix "diff" command.
Alternately, if you want to know what differences exist between files,
you could load the files into arrays with the file() function, then use
the array_diff() function to spit out a list of lines in one file but
not the other.
Or, you could tell us more about what you're actually trying to do. :)

I don't know what the "realpath" method is since every one I've been given
that involves realpath so far doesn't work.
But here's what I'm doing now:
function is_absolute($path)
{
$regex = (PHP_OS == 'WINNT' || PHP_OS == 'WIN32')
? "/^([a-z][A-Z]:)?[\/\\]/"
: "/^\//";
return (boolean) preg_match($regex, $path);
}
Does that look safe enough? It works for Linux but since I have no Windows
environments to test on I have no idea if it works properly on Windows.

[PHP] Is "Function Constants" the Correct Term?
Hi everyone,
I have been experimenting with defining functions as constants.
Below is what I am using to test "Function Constants":
define(DBLOGIN,dblogin(LOGIN,PASS,DB));
DBLOGIN;
$set = mysql_query("Select user FROM user limit 1,1");
$results = mysql_fetch_array($set);
echo "Results: ",$results["user"];
define(DBLOGIN,dblogin("user","incorrect_pass",DB));
DBLOGIN;
//Should print error
$set = mysql_query("Select user FROM user limit 1,1");
$results = mysql_fetch_array($set);
echo "Results: ",$results["user"];
function dblogin($login,$pass,$db)
{
$mysql = mysql_connect("localhost",$login,$pass);
mysql_select_db($db,$mysql);
}
?>
I would like to know what the right term for this kind of constant
since a search for "function constants" php
did not return any relevant results.
I would also like to know why I was able to redefine DBLOGIN, I always
thought redefining constants could
not be done.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I don't know if there is really a best way to do this but, some good ways:
- The first step is to avoid multiple submits with the same form when the
user submits severals times. You have to add a small script to avoid this:
var SubmitCount = 0;
function CheckSubmit() {
if (SubmitCount == 0) {
SubmitCount++;
pPost.submit();
}
else {
// Anti stress alert ;-))
alert("The form has been sent. Please wait take time to drink a
coffee.");
return false;
}
}
- The second step is to avoid the refresh process:
You can use a redirect: header('location: ' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); exit;
And you can also used a php variable to detect multiple submit:
The client side code becomes:
-- mypage.html
var SubmitCount = 0;
function CheckSubmit() {
if (SubmitCount == 0) {
SubmitCount++;
pPost.submit();
}

[PHP] building php to have mysqli support...
hi... i'm trying to upgrade/install php-4.3.8 to include mysqli support. i'm running on a rh8.0 linux with mysql-4.x. i used the php-4.3.8 src rpm, and built using the following config ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/etc --with -mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config --with-ldap --with-pgsql i then used the following commands.. make clean ./configure make make install everything seemed to go ok, as everything appeared to run to completion and i didn't see any errors... i do appear to have created a new libphp4.so however, when i look in the php-dist.ini it has no mention of "mysqli"... so my question, have i screwed up somewhere?? or am i just looking for the php.ini file in the wrong location. has anybody managed to get php to work so you can actually use both mysql/mysqli??? pointers/criticisms/assistance is greatly appreciated! searching through google/php.net/etc.. hasn't turned up information on where i've gone wrong. thanks.. -bruce -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

A simple workaround is testing OS:
if (windows)
// use realpath method
} else {
$absolute = $path{0} == '/';
}

Even when you reset all variables on the page (e.g. with $_POST = array())
the user can always refresh and therefore re-submit your form.
To avoid this you could do a redirect after processing the form:
// process form here
header('location: ' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); exit;
Of course then you will have to pass any notices for the user via get (or
store it in a session variable).
Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] Re: Templates Are Driving me Nuts
The template system I use is extremely simple.
Template.php:

$this->_document = $document;
}
function Render()
{
echo $this->ToString();
}
function ToString()
{
$template = $this->Items;
ob_start();
require($this->_document);
return ob_get_clean();
}
}
?>
and to use it?
templates/index.html:
Hello , it is currently
index.php:
Items['name'] = 'User';
$template->Items['time'] = date('d M Y', time());
$template->Render();

why use it?
Because you keep your html and your php code separate. That is the
goal when using any templating system.

That works because the value in __FILE__ seems to be both canonicalised and
absolute.
For an example which breaks, realpath('/home') on my server returns
'/usr/home', so your example would claim that /home is not absolute. Yet,
it is. :-/

[PHP] How can I tell if a path is absolute?
Hi!
I used to detect whether a path is absolute by seeing if the first character
is a forward slash.
Unfortunately, Windows absolute paths are in a different syntax like "C:\",
and I don't know what other random systems might have for their syntax in
the future.
So, is there a portable way to tell if a path is absolute or not? I thought
about comparing the start of the path with realpath('/'), but this only
works if the path starts with "C:" and fails for "D:" and other drives.

[PHP] Re: Book Required
Michael Your right there is a wide selection available and as such you need to select based on your particular development slant. PHP and Mysql Web Development ISBN 0-672-32525-X 2nd Edition by Welling & Thomson is a good general text. Did you solve your table results printing question? Mike Melb.au
Re: [PHP] Book Required
I agree that PHP & MySQL Web Development (By Luke Welling and Laura Thompson) is a great resource for learning PHP. Armed with that book and the online PHP manual (with user comments), and you're on your way to being a well-informed developer. The second edition (2003) covers PHP 4.3, so it's still quite useful... I'm pretty sure the third edition will be written to cover 5.0. Dan Will Collins wrote: I apologize for requesting a read receipt.

RedHat usually backports majority security fixes to their currently supported distribution(s). Anyway questions such as these ought to be asked on a RedHat list. If you want the latest PHP then compile your own and don't use RedHat's. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* Death is God's way of telling you not to be such a wise guy. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] RedHat Network Up2Date
Is the RedHat Network Up2Date really only on version 4.3.2 of PHP? If so, any idea why they're so far behind? Any idea of when it will be brought current? I have an ISP telling me that the security of their systems rely entirely on the RedHat Network. They acknowledge that RedHat's behind and that their security is compromised. It's silly, but they seem to just sit there blaming RedHat rather than doing anything to protect their customers. -Ed

Its not recognizing it. Anyone have this working? I have some success with PHPEclipse on Windows, even with PHP5, but it is still work in progress, so some niggles are to be expected. That said, the more people who try it out and identify problems, the quicker it will become more stable ? As David has said, a rogue zip did get out, and that seems to be still accessible on some mirrors, so the next snapshot could be worth waiting for. -- Lester Caine - L.S.Caine Electronic Services -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
