RE: [PHP] utf-8 in mysql but not outputting as utf-8 on web

[Denis Gerasimov]

Hello,

Also the first query that is executed to MySQL server has to be:

SET CHARACTER SET utf8

This will set the character set for current connection to UTF-8 (default is
latin-1).

HTH

you want:

  Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8


Also, take a look at the php.ini setting: 

  http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.default-charset


I would set that to UTF-8 and not worry about the header calls;
besides all pages should have some sort charset encoding set.

Yeah, i ran accross that on other linux distro packaging systems,
keepalive boosts performance by quite a bit.

Probably reporting a bug report at http://bugs.php.net/, i did a
quick search but didn't see any open related to this but you might
want to search a little harder than I did.

Be sure to include the OS, filesystem type and the configure line
in the report, cause there seems to be something system dependent
causing it since the script you posted earlier worked fine on my
system.

Re: [PHP] Sessions...

Greg Donald wrote:

I've been using this database driven PHP sessions setup for years:

http://dbsessions.destiney.com/


I offer a similar implementation:

http://phpsecurity.org/code/ch08-2

A few notes about yours (if you don't mind the critique):

1. It doesn't use a separate database connection, but it creates one 
anyway. I create a separate one, but only so that it can be dropped into 
any web application without adversely affecting it. In practice, I 
prefer to use a single connection.


2. Your sess_close() function does nothing, and this can make the 
session mechanism behave unexpectedly for a developer. For example, 
someone who actually depends upon session_write_close() for concurrent 
connections is severely impacted.


3. $GLOBALS[tb_sessions] is invalid syntax. It works, but only because 
PHP will check to see if you meant $GLOBALS['tb_sessions'] after it 
fails to find a constant named tb_sessions.


4. Your sess_read() function should return an empty string when no data 
is found, not FALSE. I originally made this same mistake.


5. Your sess_read() function has an SQL injection vulnerability. The 
argument passed comes directly from the user.


6. Your sess_write() function has the same SQL injection vulnerability.

7. In sess_write(), you also don't escape the session data, and this 
will give you problems, even with legitimate data that doesn't represent 
an SQL injection attack. For example, try setting a session variable 
that contains a quote somewhere:


$_SESSION['publisher'] = "O'Reilly";

8. Your sess_write() function has the same SQL injection vulnerability.

9. Your sess_destroy() function has the same SQL injection vulnerability.

10. Your sess_gc() function returns the number of affected rows. 
Shouldn't it return TRUE on success? You may just be depending upon the 
evaluation of any non-zero integer to TRUE.


11. Your sess_gc() function ignores the session configuration and 
chooses its own expiry.


I hope this was helpful. I don't mean any disrespect - quite the 
opposite, since you're freely sharing your code. I applaud that. :-)


I think the SQL injection vulnerability is the biggest flaw. Most 
everything else doesn't matter too much, but that's a big one, and it 
exists in most of your session functions. A simple call to 
mysql_real_escape_string() can protect against this vulnerability (in 
these cases), and you'll see that I use this function on everything I 
use in my SQL queries, even when it seems ridiculous to do so:


$access = time();
$access = mysql_real_escape_string($access);

Hope that helps.

Re[3]: [PHP] utf-8 in mysql but not outputting as utf-8 on web

Hello Jonathan,

You probably don't have php5 compiled with mbstrings enabled, if you

iconv('utf-8' , 'html', $string);

I don't know what to recommend if you don't have any of these complied

Hi Everyone, I am running PHP 5 on Windosws XP SP2 with MySQL5, Bye Now!

[PHP] PHP interference in frames

[Ron Rudman]

I've got this down to a bare bones test but am still stumped.  Can anyone 
explain why I get the behavior I do?

I have a frameset with 3 frames:

testing

 
 
 



test1.php and test2.php are both simply:
test3.php is simply:   

When I invoke the main frameset, the output from test3.php takes 5 seconds 
to appear.
If I comment out either one of the sleep calls, the output from test3.php is 
immediate, which is what I expected in the first place.

I have session.auto_start = 0 in php.ini, so this has nothing to do with 
sessions.
I am running php 5.0.5.
I get the same results with both apache 2/mod_php and lighttpd/fastcgi, the 
latter with 40 php processes running.

I thought that each frame in a page was executed independently and 
asynchronously, yet frame4.php insists on "waiting" for one of the other 
frames to complete  (if the sleeps are 5 and 10, frame3 produces its output 
after 5 seconds).

What am I missing here?

  I wouldn't "forget" Netscape, because people still use it.  Just make
  sure your code validates to W3C standards and so long as it isn't too
  cutting edge, must browsers should display it fine.

  To answer your question, Opera is probably the third most popular

Correction. Mozilla 2 aka Netscape 2.0 doesn't handle keep-alive
correctly. The directive responsible is actually:

#
# KeepAlive: Whether or not to allow persistent connections (more than
# one request per connection). Set to "Off" to deactivate.
#
KeepAlive Off

Mmm, why does the Fedora 4 apache package ship with keep-alive disabled?

[PHP] Sessions...

[Dan Parry]

Hi

 

I'm having some trouble with sessions and was wondering if anyone could give
me some insight

 

Background:

 

We have experienced some difficulties previously with sessions which were
fixed(ish) by using ini_set("session.save_handler", "files"); and manually
dropping a cookie with the propagated session ID in it

 

Without the implicit cookie (and subsequent ID checking) the session
wouldn't fix and changing page would make it overwrite its own data with
NULL (as if the session had been restarted)

 

Current:

 

I've decided to rock the boat and start using a custom handler (we need to
check who's online etc; the standard stuff) utilising our MySQL (v3.28) DB

 

Seeing that I'm not great with sessions (my bad, I haven't studied enough),
I used some code (pretty much verbatim) from the Zend site that sets up a
sessions class.
http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/code-gallery-wade8.php?article=code-galle
ry-wade8 << that's where the tutorial lives

 

Using the custom handler the sessions are failing to fixate again, even if I
drop a cookie with the propagated session ID and subsequently reuse it

 

I used my login script to attempt to track the problem and discovered that
the script that performs the login successfully writes to the database but
when it returns to the main page the session is present in the database but
the session value field is, once again, empty

 

Er, help. Please. I'm running out of hair to tear out :-)

 

TIA and apologies if this has already been answered or this is a halfwitted
question

 

Dan

You do not have a legitimate HTML page. Back to the books first.

Always validate here http://validator.w3.org/

If a page validates, it will run on about browser except NS4x and IE5x

I didn't fully test this; but it should get you started.

$types= array('http', 'ftp', 'https', 'mms', 'irc');

$pattern= "%.+%i";  // the 
"i" makes it non case sensitive

if(preg_match($pattern, $URL_str, $match)){

$URL= match[1];

You would need to add a VALUE property to each of the OPTION tags, and
depending on the METHOD property of the form, chech the $_POST or $_GET
array

does it not occur to anyone that this sort of question
is better directed at a search engine? its called research.

another reason being that there is no 'php' in 'browser' - not
including the thing Wez Furlong built that allows you to run php
as a clientside scripting engine (which AFAIK is very experimental)

what do you think register_globals does?

is not affected by) the register_globals setting.

if you leave the action attribute empty (or drop it altogether)

Try $_REQUEST.

If the values are send using POST then $_POST

If the values are send using GET then $_GET

I wouldn't "forget" Netscape, because people still use it.  Just make
sure your code validates to W3C standards and so long as it isn't too
cutting edge, must browsers should display it fine.

To answer your question, Opera is probably the third most popular

[PHP] GD/Freetype text problems with bold or size < 8 - Followup

[Jason Young]

Just to followup on this,

I was able to install PHP 5.1.1 with its embedded GD library, and it 
turns out that GD is definitely the cause of the issues.


So my question now is what changes to the source can be made to ensure 
the highest-quality fonts in smaller sizes?  As I've said, I've been on 
hosts with very smooth rendering of smaller text (size < 8, assuming 96 
pixel resolution), but my current build looks horrible.
http://card.mygamercard.net/mini/Morgon.jpg is what it looks like now - 
all text is 6 point aside from the bold text at the top, which is 8.

This is the 5.0.4 install.

http://data.mygamercard.net/test.png is an image I created using a 
built-but-not-installed version of PHP 5.1.1.
I changed the GD_RESOLUTION to 72 point font, so to compensate, these 
are a font size of 9.


What I would like is for the fonts to look similar to what would really 
be displayed, had this been standard system fonts in a browser or other 
application.


If anyone has had experience with rendering text, I would really 
appreciate some hints on how to tweak GD to make things look proper.


Thanks

Jason Young wrote:
Currently, I'm running PHP 5.0.4 (only because it's the only one I can 
get to work on my FC4 x64 install!), but for some reason, using pixel 
sizes under 8, or using bold fonts, makes the text look horrible.
My old host (1&1 in case anyone else has them..) had this working well, 
but I have no idea what their settings were.


I've heard that editing the gd.h file to change the resolution from 96 
to 72 helps, but I'm assuming I'd have to recompile something for that 
to take effect, and I can't find a PHP-GD Source RPM for my arch.


What must I do to get everything smooth again?

Fedora Core 4, x64
PHP 5.0.4
PHP-GD module (separate RPM install)
Freetype 2.1
gd-2.0.33

Thank you.

[PHP] Re: High load Forum?

[M. Sokolewicz]

it all depends on the setup you're using. How well the code is written, 
how much fluff it has (eg. a lof of bbcode parsing makes the forum a lot 
slower), and a few more factors like that. If you're going to have a 
very big / active forum, I would suggest not to use a package as 
provided by multiple companies (vb, phpbb, xmb, ipb, etc) but to write 
your own and try to minimize the amount of work it does (especially 
heavy-duty work like regexp parsing, image-parsing, 
database-connections/transactions, etc.). If you do it yourself, you'll 
be sure you have optimized it as much as you can for your server 
specifically. If you use a bigger package, it'll have lots of fluff you 
don't need, and generally will use older (slower) language constructs to 
be backwards compatible (back to php 4.2.0 in most cases, or even earlier).

Forget Netscape 7.0. Its not supported anymore. You should be worried
