Do you really see nothing wrong with announcing to all users that they
can
run arbitrary SQL with your script?
well, the where clause in mysql is relativly safe, but suppose the user
changes giftprint.php?passid=1sort=WHERE thankyou='Not Sent' ORDER BY
cash ASC to, say.. giftprint.php?passid=1sort=OR 1, as the absolute most
basic example. PHP no longer supports
sending multiple queries with one mysql_query to make this not as bad,
but if you put SQL in the url or in a form, you are just begging to have
it changed. At the very least have sort=cash. Idealy the query should
look something like:
$sarr = array('name', 'event', 'description', 'cash', 'action',
'thankyou', );
$query = 'SELECT `name`, `event`, `description`, `cash`, `action`,
`thankyou` FROM `gifts` WHERE customerID=' . intval($_GET['passid'] . ' '
. $sarr[intval($_GET['sort'])];

[PHP] Open a stream to the shell..
Hello, is it possible to open a stream in which I can write commands
and read output from them to a shell like bash? I want to do this
because this program can not be completed with just a `backtick` or
shell_exec() command, as it's somewhat user-interactive.
As an example, let's say I want to get cdecl to explain to me what
char *horse means. I would type:
# icdecl/i
Type `help' or `?' for help
cdecl iexplain char *horse/i
declare horse as pointer to char
cdecl iexit/i
...where input is surrounded by ithese/i. This would be difficult
or impossible to do with shell_exec, especially if halfway-through you
have to do some calculating before you can know what to ask cdecl
next.
So I want to know whether you can somehow open a stream to a shell,
and execute commands there. Like...
$fp = fopen('/bin/bash', 'rw');
$output = fgets($fp);
fputs($fp, 'cdecl');
$output = fgets($fp);
$output = fgets($fp);
fputs($fp, 'explain char *horse');
$expl = fgets($fp);
/* Right now you could do some calculations and figure out what to do next. */
$output = fgets($fp);
fputs($fp, 'exit');
$output = fgets($fp);
fclose($fp);
Now this obviously wouldn't work, as it would overwrite the bash
executable if you had proper access, but it's just to get the idea
across.
So, does anyone know how I can do this?

[PHP] Re: Open a stream to the shell..
As of PHP 4.3.0 you can use the proc_* functions (proc_open proc_close
in PHP 4.3.0+ and proc_get_status, proc_nice and proc_terminate as of
PHP 5).
If you don't have access to that, you can use the following:
use shell_exec to create a process, and make it send all output to some
temporary file. Then, instead of getting it directly, you just read the
contents of that temporary file :)
eg:
$stream = fopen('cvs server /tmp/cvsOutput', 'w+');
just read it from /tmp/cvsOutput, and write to the $stream :)
hope it helps,
- Tul

Disclaimer: I assisted in the creation of the Zend PHP Certification. This is a very good point. However, and I'm speaking from experience, how do you verify these types of statements when you're looking at more than a hundred resumes? Zend gives me a place online to verify whether someone is certified. With a pretty simple PHP script, I can automate this process. What I've done in the past is have a simple online test that people take when they apply, and this at least gives me some idea whether the applicant is worth bringing in for an interview (or calling for a phone interview). This has worked fairly well, but it's pretty time consuming for me, and it definitely has problems: It has to either be very long (or narrow in scope), I have no assurance that the applicant is the one taking the test, and the applicant can't use these test results anywhere else. Of course, certifications are only useful when the employer places the right amount of value in them. I've seen certifications discussed in several different communities over the past 10 years, and there always seem to be extremists on both sides - certifications are worthless or certifications will get you hired. A PHP certification only tells me that the applicant knows PHP pretty well at a fundamental level. Whether they can apply this knowledge, have the experience I'm looking for, have a personality that works well in my team, and questions like these are things I need to answer for myself in the hiring process. A certification does not replace the need to do any work to find a good employee.

Re: [PHP] PHP Oficial Certification
Well i think in a way that getting programmers certified is one thing. I also think that there might be a need for software certification. Where it would validate that the standars have been fallowed, check the quality of the code, check for security, check for proper docummentation (comments, uml, user docs) Some what like the ISO 9002 certification but more software oriented. I think this would help php be more accepted by large compagnies, banks and gouvernements. It would also reassure the company that buy a software. The problem with this it would requiert alot of work! Certify programmers is just solving one part of the problem. Certifying software and business is the big piece and where money will be involed.!

You really think they're going to make a significant amount of money from people paying to take this certification? Zend is a major company that will grow as PHP itself grows. This certification helps PHP in the enterprise and make it seem like a more legitimate option for companies looking to spend a lot of money on their Web infrastructure. It also helps the entire PHP community, whether we get certified or not. The more PHP is used, the more demand for PHP developers there will be, the higher the salaries will be, etc. PHP.net has nothing to do with it, execpt that some people from the php.net team help put it together. I assume you mean the PHP Group has nothing to do with it (php.net is a domain name with no other significance), and you're right. Of course, Zend is a much more appropriate entity for this. I'd prefer that the PHP Group spend their time making PHP better and better. Hostely, what kind of market value does the certification has?

The HTML and VBScript shown below is a simplified version of what I need to do but of course I need to do it in PHP. Since PHP is server-side (right?) perhaps it is not possible. You're right, it's not possible. You'd have to create the whole page with DOM and output it at the end. You may be able to use DOM to make a specific piece and inject it You could always just use JavaScript to inject things as wel. Thank you. You understand the question. I am not sure of the details of what you were suggesting, but that is not important. The general idea is probably what I will do. This is for osCommerce, which is a shopping cart system written in PHP. Many of it's pages (the HTML) are not modifiable directly using a WYSIWYG editor, which make the content difficult to modify, especially for non-technical people. So what I can do is to make a page that is stored as a HTML page and then in a separate PHP script add stuff (in this situation, it is left and/or right menu columns) using the DOM. Since the system is written using PHP, this improvement should also use PHP. I think PHP will do quite well using it in this manner yet the system (osCommerce) can be easier to use. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The question is not whether it cn be done using a non-PHP language; the question only is if it can be done using PHP. The answer is no; at least not using the design I asked about.

[PHP] Newbie. Posting to backend MySQL database
Please help, I'm tearing what remains of my hair out here.
I've got a MySQL database where I've defined one of the table fields as an
integer.
Using PSP I've passed a session variable and can echo it to the screen using
?php echo intval($clin_id) ?. So the session variable exists and can be
echoed
I now want to pass this session variable to the database into the field I've
defined as an integer
I've set up a form to submit other variables to the backend database and
they all work apart from this field.
I'm using a hidden field to pass the variable and I am using
input name=p_clin_id type=hidden id=p_clin_id
value=intval('$clin_id')
What I don't understand is that if I can echo the variable what am I missing
in formatting a sessio variable to make it passable to the database. It mus
be something basic and I've looked through several books (from where I got
the intval function) but obviously in the wrong place.
I would be grateful for any advice.

you're freely mixing PHP and HTML without denoting what is what.
an example that WOULD work would be:
echo 'input name=p_clin_id type=hidden id=p_clin_id
value='.intval($clin_id).'';
or maybe
?
input name=p_clin_id type=hidden id=p_clin_id
value=?php echo intval($clin_id);?
?php
So, mixing HTML and PHP without denoting what is what is the first
mistake. The second one is the actual function call:
intval('$clin_id');
Now, when you put something between SINGLE quotes, it is read LITERALLY,
meaning it *will not* substitute variables for their value. eg:
echo '$clin_id';
will output:
$clin_id
However,
echo $clin_id;
will output the VALUE of $clin_id (eg. 12)
So, I think that instead of
intval('$clin_id') you actually meant intval($clin_id), or, cleaner,
intval($clin_id) (since intval isn't expecting a string anyway, and even
if it were, it would change it to one itself. No need to do extra work
for nothing.)
The 3rd point about this all... if you get the value from the database,
and it's an integer there, then why are you converting it to an integer
AGAIN?? :| just using $clin_id instead of intval($clin_id) is surely
faster (seen as no extra functions need to be called).

If you just need to put it in the database, you dont need a form to do
that..
just open a connection to your db, and query it in.
read about mysql functions in the php manual.. specifically
mysql_connect, mysql_select_db and mysql_query
, i beleive there is a functional example of all you need on the
introduction page for the mysql functions in the manual.

Re: [PHP] php and SMS
--- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want to send SMS Text messages to cell phones from my server app I would also like cell phones to be able to send text messages back to my app how does one go about doing this? This was done recently for Midnight Madness. The information given by the developer is as follows: The SMS server was quite simple really. I borrowed a Sierra Wireless Aircard 750 from a friend. This is basically a GSM/GPRS cellphone in PCMCIA card package. The same type of setup can be done with any GSM cellphone and a serial cable attaching it to a pc. I used a software called NowSMS which is free for 60 days. It has a lot of features but I only used one, which is executing a program everytime an sms message comes in with the message as a command line argument. It then sends as a reply anything that the program writes to standard output. Then I wrote two pieces of software. One is the main game application that keeps track of all the teams, the combination guesses, the hints, etc. This program also has a sockets server running that waits for incoming sms messages. The second piece of software is a little sockets client that the NowSMS software executes when it gets a message. The client program sends the message to the main application, writes the response to standard out and exits. Everything is multi-threaded in case the sms messages overlap, but I don't think this ever happens. Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] Dynamic HTML Creation

This is for osCommerce, which is a shopping cart system written in PHP. Many
of it's pages (the HTML) are not modifiable directly using a WYSIWYG editor,
which make the content difficult to modify, especially for non-technical
people. So what I can do is to make a page that is stored as a HTML page and
then in a separate PHP script add stuff (in this situation, it is left
and/or right menu columns) using the DOM. Since the system is written using
PHP, this improvement should also use PHP. I think PHP will do quite well
using it in this manner yet the system (osCommerce) can be easier to use.
Ah. You should have said this in your first mail (which was
confusing). It now becomes clear. I think what you are looking for is
a template engine, like smarty
http://smarty.php.net/
given a template :
-
body
User Information:p
Name: {$name}br
Address: {$address}br
/body
-
and the php code:
$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty-assign('name', 'george smith');
$smarty-assign('address', '45th Harris');
$smarty-display('index.tpl');
I think you can already see what this does. The non-technical people
can edit the pages (as long as they leave the placemarkers for the
output). The PHP-people can edit the code without worrying about the
page layout (as long as the markers are there).
I hope this helps.

I think what you are looking for is a template engine, like smarty http://smarty.php.net/ If Smarty is a good solution that the other osCommerce users and developers agree is useful, then yes, I should have said more in my original question. If however Smarty is not a good solution for osCommerce, then explaining that I am modifying osCommerce would have been confusing and distracting. I like the idea of separating the UI from the program. Programmers and software designers have been doing that for many years. It is usually easier to keep the UI separate from the processing and then have tags of some type in the UI that allows the processing to put data into the UI and pluck it out. That type of thing can be done using HTML too. There are some disadvantages of using HTML and the DOM but I suspect there are limitations of Smarty too. If it is possible to use HTML and the DOM then there are significant advantages to using an existing standard that is in common use. If a web site is hosted in a server owned by someone else and if the server's owner (which includes the employees) must install Smarty befor it can be used, then that is a critical disadvantage of Smarty. So do you know of specific advantages of Smarty compated to using the HTML and DOM standards? Without spending a lot of time to learn Smarty, it is difficult for me to see the advantages. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
