ok, so i made a file manager and i need to prevent people from linking
directly to files that do not come from another part of the site.
i know i can use http_referer, but i wonder how fool proof it is, i dont
want to spit out errors to a legit user that actually came from a valid page
before trying to access the file url. some people have said http_referer is
not always accurate.
I wouldn't rely on http_referer at all. Why not start a session when
people enter your site and ensure a valid session is created before your
file manager serves the file?

Hi all,
I'm having this problem trying to upload a file using PHP. I am using
Apache (compiled from source) and PHP 5.0.3
The entire contents of the page is:
form method=post enctype=multipart/form-data action=/upload.php
INPUT TYPE=hidden name=MAX_FILE_SIZE value=52428800
input type=file name=myfile
input type=submit value=Begin Upload
/form
The entire script is:
?php
$uploaddir = /tmp;
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . uploaded.file;
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile))
{
echo Complete.;
}
else
{
echo No Upload.;
}
?
The returned message I get is:
Notice: Undefined index: myfile in /www/htdocs/upload.php on line 6
No Upload.
I've checked $_FILES['myfile']['error'] and its empty. The whole
$_FILES array is empty. In my php.ini file I have the following:
; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On
; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default
if not
; specified).
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 50M

Sorry all,
I found the problem. I had put in an entry in post_max_size as 2G
however PHP seems to think that meant 2 bytes. I lowered it down to
something reasonable in M and it worked fine. I'm not sure if that is
a bug or not regardless of whether or not 2G is smart for that variable,
it took it as 2 bytes either way.
Re: [PHP] getting mac id
javascript has pretty strict permissions when run via the browser itself, so I would say no. Unless you instruct your user to run the Javascript via the system itself... but you can't expect that from a simple user. Besides that, a user can choose to turn off JavaScript, or even make it run some new JavaScript code specific to that site, with a click of a button in most modern browsers, and giving the user the ability to completely spoof a part of your control system is never a good idea ;) - tul Tyler Replogle wrote: do you think i could get it with javascript?

The mac-address isn't part of any sort of standard header the browser sends, thus the server will never see it. And if the server can't see it, then PHP can't see it either. The only way to get it would be to run a local script which would pick it up, and send it over. This however would require something like a JAVA applet / application. The mac address is usually hidden away quite well so people can't get it and start pretending to be someone else.

[PHP] How to handle actions that may take a long time?
Hi there, I'd like to know your opinion about how to handle events that may take more than a minute to finish in PHP. In this case, the code is performing a recursive action on a large LDAP tree where I'd like to present something like a status page (Please wait, blah blah with some animated gif or so), while the action takes place in background. Is it possible to fork away this PHP code and set some SESSION vars to trigger the end of the status page? Or do I have to put this action behind a one pixel image and act when the page is really complete? Also I'm not sure how to handle the script execution timeout problem... Any ideas/hints? Some feedback would be appreciated ;-) Cheers, Cajus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] mcrypt_create_iv always returns same value?
Hello All,
Just beginning to experiment with encryption using the mcrypt library and
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if it's normal that the following code
always seems to return exactly the same value whenever executed on my
system:
$td =
mcrypt_module_open('rijndael-256','','cbc','');
srand((double) microtime() * 100);
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($td),
MCRYPT_RAND);
I was under the impression that the value in $iv should be different each
time this code is called, but for some reason it isn't?
Any help appreciated.
Much warmth,
Murray

[PHP] Charset and filenames
Hi I'm building a script that makes a list of files available in a directory (PHP 4.3.10, Apache 2.0.53, windows, NTFS file system). The XHTML is served as ISO-8859-1. However, I'm having trouble in generating correct links for files with accents, etc. The problem is rawurlencode() appears to convert strings by translating possible url unsafe characters into the corresponding %xx where xx is the due hexadecimal number in a specific charset (US-ASCII I think). Let's say there's a file called: Anatomia de superfície do tórax.pdf This file is rawurlencode()'d into: Anatomia%20de%20superf%EDcie%20do%20t%F3rax.pdf However, apache rejects this filename, returning a 403 (!) error. In fact, the simple ocurrence of, for instance, '%F3' in a url triggers this response. What in fact works (and Apache uses in its mod_autoindex listings) is: Anatomia%20de%20superf%c3%adcie%20do%20t%c3%b3rax.pdf Which represents the encoding in UTF-8 (?). One partial solution would be not to touch the filename and leave the encoding to the browsers, which works with IE6 (which leaves the filename untouched, apart from the spaces, which are transformed into %20 - apache accepts) and Opera7.54 (which surprisingly does the correct encoding), but not with Firefox, which performs the same transformation as rawurlencode(). What I need is a function that does the correct enconding, and - since once finished I shall move the script to another server - in case there be any platform specific issues, a solution that is as universal as possible.

I'm just always a little concerned about making any upgrades to a mission critical server and was wondering if anyone has had experience with upgrading using my specific versions.

Re: [PHP] Upgrade question
If you installed PHP from the Redhat RPMs, you may want to see if the fedoralegacy project has a newer RPM for your distribution. Otherwise, you're somewhat on your own. What I would do is, run phpinfo, it will output the configure options used to build PHP, copy those and then run them on your 4.3.10 directory, you'll know if something breaks, if it doesn't you'll install like you wanted to. Technically, since you are at Rackspace, you should be able to tell your support team to upgrade it for you. I think thats what the managed part is for.

Re: [PHP] [NEWBIE] How to allow for a href tags but no others?
Dave:
I visited your website. I see that you wish to put the links in the middle
of the text, which I didn't understand before.
Now, if you let your users write tags you are bound to have a substantial
number of them who don't even know what 'tag' means, let alone any
occasional malice.
Perhaps one way to circumvent the problem is to let them write just link1,
link2, link3 in the textarea, and input the link names and urls
separately, e.g like this:
!-- STEP 1. INPUT FORM --
form method= post ...
Dear user: Please include link1, link2 ... as placeholders in the text
and the actual linknames and urls in the boxes below:
textarea ...thetext/textarea
Link1:
Linknameinput type=text name=linkname1 ...
Urlinput type=text name=url1br /
Link2:
Linknameinput type=text name=linkname2 ...
Urlinput type=text name=url2br /
...
Link10:
Linknameinput type=text name=linkname10 ...
Urlinput type=text name=url10br /
/form
// STEP 2 RECEIVE AND VALIDATE THE POSTED VALUES
if(isset($_POST[linkname1]) isset($_POST[url1])
{ // INSERT THE VALUES IN THE DATABASE }
if(isset($_POST[linkname2]) isset($_POST[url2])
{ // INSERT THE VALUES IN THE DATABASE }
...
if(isset($_POST[linkname10]) isset($_POST[url10])
{ // INSERT THE VALUES IN THE DATABASE }
// STEP 3 RETRIEVE (SELECT) THE VALUES FROM THE DB
$linkname1= thename1; $url1= theurl1;
$linkname2= thename2; $url2= theurl2;
...
$linkname10= thename10; $url10= theurl10;
// STEP 4 DEFINE THE STRINGS TO BE DISPLAYED WITH A TAGS
$link1= a href=\$url1\$linkname1/a
$link2= a href=\$url2\$linkname2/a
...
$link10= a href=\$url10\$linkname10/a
// SUBSTITUTE THE NEW VARS INSTEAD OF THE PLACEHOLDERS
$thetext= This is the text to be shown;
$thetext.= substr(link1, $link1)ETC; // CHECK SYNTAX
// THE TEXT WITH THE LINKS INCLUDED
$thetext= This is the text to be shown, which includes $link1 .
and then $link2 and last but not least $link10 .

Subject: Re: [PHP] [NEWBIE] How to allow for a href tags but no others?
Alberto, John, Jochem, Richard, Tyler,
Thank you for your very helpful advice. So far I'm thinking of
definitely including some of Tyler's code for doing some filtering,
along with the other commands mentioned, like strip_tags() for securing
the input.
However, I would like to ask further about what Alberto was talking
about in terms of storing the url separately. Someone mentioned that
Chris suggested making my own syntax, but I somehow the response from
Chris didn't get to me, so I'm not sure what that implies.
Without a doubt, it would be better to save the URL separately, and
then refuse any other user attempts at hand coded HTML. But the problem
that I can't quite resolve is how to get separately stored URLs into
inline text in such a way that a non-HTML literate user could handle.
Right now I offer the user the option of saving a web link with a
title separately from the block of text. They can create a user profile
which looks like this:
http://www.tokyocomedy.com/people.php?person=7 (Page has Japanese
text)
But that's not quite satisfactory. I'm trying to give people the
option of having profiles that look like this:
http://www.tokyocomedy.com/people.php?person=11 (Page has
Japanese
text)
I can set up the form for users to input multiple URLs, but how can
I
then allow them to place them in the desired location in their text?

Re: [PHP] Upgrade question
Rackspace will only support 7.1 up to the point where RPMs hit eol. Translation: They stopped supporting 7.1. Because Rackspace donates the server for SurfSafely.com, telling my support team would be a bit harsh. Asking is what I do and they're still deliberating. While they deliberate, here is what I discovered. Running ./configure with the original options from phpinfo, I ran into three dependencies, ONE AT A TIME. 1) For some reason it couldn't find BZip2 even though support for it is enabled. Upgraded to 1.0.2. 2) ./configure again and it reported it needs cURL 7.9.8 or higher. Mine was 7.8.0 so I upgraded to 7.13.0. 3) Lastly it wanted to see pspell. Again, .11.1 was already installed and enabled but configure couldn't see it at all. I upgraded to .12.2. This time success upgrading to PHP 4.3.10! Full stop then start to Apache, eh voi la!

Do you think you could be more descriptive with your problem? What is currently failing when you try to build PHP? Have you looked at the configure command as shown by phpinfo from your current build to find any libraries in non-standard places? Do you have dev versions of the libraries installed? Not having any problem per se. I know that I definitely need to upgrade from 4.0.6. Aps I'm trying to install call for at least 4.2.1. I figure that it's best to upgrade to the latest of the 4.x series to avoid future hassles. I'm just always a little concerned about making any upgrades to a mission critical server and was wondering if anyone has had experience with upgrading using my specific versions. Server is Rackspace dedicated, Apache 1.3.22. Not sure how you define non-standard for lib locations. They are clearly shown by phpinfo though. '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' To migrate I would build using all the exact same settings. If it fails to install correctly, does it leave the previous version unaltered? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] How to retrieve form data?

Your foreach loop isn't going to print what _you're_ expecting.
foreach ( $_POST as $key = $value ) {
echo ( $value . br / );
}
but print_r() would be much easier...
echo ( pre );
print_r ( $_POST );
echo ( /pre );

Re: [PHP] How to retrieve form data?
Thank you for your very quick answer. As you may have already guessed, I'm
new to PHP, and struggling with the the most basic operations.
I modifed the 'echo' as suggested and also added a 'printr statement.
The modified portion of the script is below
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == POST):
echo 'Using foreach loop, $_POST array contains:'.br /;
foreach ( $_POST as $key = $value ) { echo ( $value . br / );}
echo 'Using printr, $_POST array contains:'.br /;
echo ( pre );
print_r ( $_POST );
echo ( /pre );
endif;
Clicking on the submit button now produces:
--
Request Method: POST
Using foreach loop, $_POST array contains:
Array
Using printr, $_POST array contains:
Array
(
[item] = Array
(
[0] = select item 1
)
)
-So what exactly does this
mean?: $Post is an array thatconsists of one item that is also an array,
that being the item array consisting of one entry containing the select
string?If so, can I access the item array itself? I tried this in the
script but nothing was echoed:echo $item[0]

[PHP] Hmmm
I just installed a new MYSQL version 4.1 (from 4.0) and now none of my
PHP scripts work anymore. They are all complaining about attempting to
login as root. Normally, I referance a class like:
class DB
{
function DB()
{
$this-host = 127.0.0.1:3306;
$this-db = mydatabase;
$this-user = reader;
$this-pass = read123;
$this-link = mysql_connect($this-host, $this-user, $this-pass);
mysql_select_db($this-db);
}
}
Now it seems it just doesn't want to work anymore. They all worked
great on the old MySQL.
Does anyone have any ideas what I might have missed?
Thanks!
J.

No, that's not how it should be coming across. Not unless you modified
your original form to send item as an array (like you would do if it was
a multi-select). If your HTML form hasn't changed from how you have it
below, and 'item' is still coming across as an array, you have a problem
sowhere else.
original form?

[PHP] Re: Getting PHP to work with MySQL 4.1.10 under Fedora Core 3
well, for some reason it didn't compile in the mysql extension at all... even though it was configured to. That's strange, and I have no idea why it would do that. However, since you're using mysql 4.1.x, you should be using the mysqli interface anyway. Even phpmyadmin has the option to use mysqli instead of mysql; you just need to configure it that way (via config.inc.php) - tul John Swartzentruber wrote: I have installed MySQL 4.1.10 from RPMs from MySQL.
