mysql_real_escape_string(" ' ") will yield: \'
This is because the ' is a "special" character to the MySQL parser --
It indicates the beginning and end of character-based data.
So if you want ' to *BE* part of your data, it needs to be escaped
with \ in front of ' and that tells MySQL, "Yo, this apostrophe is
data, not a delimiter".
sprintf should simply output:
INSERT INTO table (value1, value2) VALUES(1, ' \' ')
because is just slams the output into the %s part.
mysql_query() sends that whole thing off to MySQL.
When MySQL "reads" the SQL statement, and tries to figure out what to
do, it "sees" that line.
Because of the \' in there, it knows that the middle ' is not the end
of the string, but is part of the data.
So what MySQL actually stores for value2 is just:
'
MySQL does *NOT* store \' for that data -- The \ part of \' gets
"eaten" by MySQL parser as it works through the SQL statement, and it
just turns into plain old ' to get stored on the hard drive.
If you think it did store that, then either you didn't tell us the
correct thing for what you did, or your test for what MySQL stored is
flawed.
The usual suspect, in PHP, for this problem, is that the data is
coming from GET/POST (or COOKIES) and you have Magic Quotes turned
"ON" and the data is already getting escaped by
http://php.net/addslashes, and then you escape it *AGAIN* with
mysql_real_escape_string.
mysql_real_escape_string is better than addslashes (and/or Magic
Quotes) so turn off Magic Quotes and keep the mysql_real_escape_string
bit.

You'll have to compare email that makes it through that *IS* HTML enhanced with your email, and compare all the headers and body and see what telltales triggered the spam filter. Spam filters these days are complex operations calculating the "odds" that any given piece of email is or isn't junk.

You may want to take a look at this forms generation class that comes with plug-in to submit and process forms using AJAX. It lets you execute arbitrary actions on the server side with PHP and you can tell it to update as many parts of your page as you want. With this plug-in you can do it all in PHP without writing a single line of Javascript. Take a look in particular at the example test_ajax_form.php . It shows how to submit a form with a simple text field and a file upload field, and then process it on the server side and some progress report feedback. http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration Also take a look at the test_linked_select.php and test_auto_complete.php examples that take advantage of the class AJAX plug-in features. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Store $second in the DB here.
It's just a big long-ass string at this point.
You can use echo $second; to see what it looks like.

Pull $second (or whatever you want to call it) out of the database.
It's just a big long string.

This de-constructs that big string into an array, and you are back in
business.

NOTE:
90% of the time, you should be putting each array item into the
database separately, so you can use SQL to retrieve only the bits you
need instead of schlepping the whole thing back and forth all the
time...
If you are new to programming, think long and hard about what you will
be doing with these array elements, and if you plan on using PHP to
search/sort/filter them at some point, don't do that. Put them in as
individual data in the DB.
If you always use the whole array, and never search it, sort it, or
filter it down to fewer elements, and are just shuffling it
back-and-forth, then serializing it and storing it en masse is fine.

[PHP] Mixing sprintf and mysql_real_escape_string
Hi,
I get strange output if I combine sprintf and mysql_real_escape_string. If I
do this the resulting into the database is \' not ' as I want.
mysql_query(sprintf("INSERT INTO table (value1, value2) VALUES (1, '%s')",
mysql_real_escape_string(" ' ")));
Should this be like this? Do the sprintf already add slashes or something?

$_FILE[*]['type'] is pretty useless all around...
It's useless as a Security method because a Bad Guy can send anything
they want for that.
It's useless in the general sense because IE and Mozilla-esque
browsers send *different* MIME types for the same file.
There is no standard they are following for what is the MIME type of a
JPEG, PNG, etc. So you'd have to predict every possible MIME type
that a browser *might* send for any given file type, and there's no
predicting IE, for starters.
It would be nice if the browsers provided standardized info, as this
would be one more hurdle to put in the way of errors, but as it stands
now, I'd avoid bothering with it. Too much hassle for too little
payoff.

It should be noted that getimagesize is also not fool-proof for the same reasons as the PDF first-4 bytes == '%PDF' is not "secure" getimagesize only looks at the first N bytes to figure out width/height/etc. It's a bit more complex than the PDF version, as it has to choose the right bytes for the given image type, but it's not an exhaustive check that the file *IS* a valid image file. That said, this can be one more simple/easy barrier in place in a series of security checks, both for Images and PDFs. The only way to be 99.9% certain an image is a valid image is to have a human eyeball look at it -- leaving the remainder of a percentage for "art" images too weird to be distinguished from noise. It's also theoretically possible that some single specific image "out there" could "look" fine, but by sheer coincidence that specific sequency of bytes could ALSO be a malicious program. That's kind of pointless in the general sense, except as an indicator that you will never get 100% certainty, so it's probably best to do several fast easy checks that rely on un-related data so that you have a series of barriers rather than a single point of failure in your security. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Can you be sure that '(' will not appear in the Japanese part?
preg_match('/^(.*)(\\(.*$)/', $text, $parts);
echo "Japanese: $parts[1]\n";
echo "Definition: $parts[2]\n";
Then you could break apart the Japanese part based on whether there
are or aren't the delimiters for the "reading" -- they looked kinda
like parentheses before my ascii-centric email munged them.
You might even be able to combine it all into one big preg_match if
you worked at it.

There are probably some whitespaces in the elements which refuse to be
deleted.
Also consider using array_filter() instead of looping through the array
(used without a callback function filter all elements which evaluate to
boolean false).

Check the 5th and 6th fields. Something is in one of them. Because

'first',
'second',

If you have a suitible mime.magic file, and your PHP has the

function.

Is this to protect against somebody trying to pass an mp3 off as a PDF, or

that it begins with:
%PDF-1.3
(or other versions - perhaps just verify the first 4 chars.
You can do this with a simple
$fp = fopen($filename, 'rb'));
if ('%PDF' == fread($fp, 4))
// PDF
else
// Not PDF
This is very simple.
And very insecure. All it takes is a cat and echo to disguise a file as a

You could also use the "file" commandline utility if the server is a

Your Connection header is redundant, since that's the default value in
HTTP/1.1.
I would send the header but give it a value of close, since I see no
good reason to leave the TCP connection open until it times out. That's
a pretty big waste in a situation where overhead matters.
Hope that helps.

$_FILES['{form_field_name}']['type'] is your friend here. Just match it

To expand on Jay's excellent advice, you have been depending on "register globals" to set the variable names for you. This is widely regarded as a bad practice, because you don't know for sure where $var came from. You should ALWAYS use $var=$_GET['var'] when taking values from the url to set a variable. For more information on the evils of register globals, STFA. There have been many discussions in this list on that topic.

If u serialize it and unserialize it you will obtain same thing...

[PHP] PDO and PGSQL: ERROR: syntax error at or near "SET"
Hi all!
I'm trying to learn using PDO and PostgreSQL together a little bit and I
have some problems with (I thinks, auto incrementing fields)
I have the following sample DB:
CREATE TABLE users (
uid SERIAL UNIQUE NOT NULL,
login TEXT NOT NULL,
password TEXT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (uid)
);
and the following PHP code:
setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$query = "INSERT INTO users SET uid = :uid, login = :login, password
= :password";
$stmt = $db->prepare($query);
$uid = "";
$login = "erik";
$password = "erikSecretPass";
$stmt->bindParam(':uid', $uid);
$stmt->bindParam(':login', $login);
$stmt->bindParam(':password', $password);
$stmt->execute();
$db = null;
} catch (PDOException $e) {
print "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "";
die();
}
?>
When running the script I get the following error message: Error!:
SQLSTATE[42601]: Syntax error: 7 ERROR: syntax error at or near "SET" at
character 19
I know that I doing something bad, maybe with the udi column, how to use
auto incrementing columns with PDO?
Thanks very much for your time.

I'd recomend doing a bit of benchmarking to figure out if the performance hit is acceptable. Using php is the easiest solution. Assuming that PHP is too slow for you, you can actually solve this issue with some abuse of mod_rewrite. You can use cookies to control the access by using the cookie variable with mod_rewrite, it's accessible as HTTP_COOKIE. You will need to parse the cookie string yourself. This allows you to do something like link to user.png and set a cookie user=35 and have mod_rewrite change it to access the 35.png file. You can also do things like block anything that doesn't match 35.png. You can't do anything fancy like DB based permissions though. Using cookies is still not secure however. You can obstuficate it fairly well but a determined user can still get around any cookie protections. You can beef up the mod_rewrite to handle this by using an external program via RewriteMap and php session files, even database access is possible. However 99% of the time I don't think that it would be worth it. David -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If apache sends the image, it just does: - is the path valid? - send it. If you use readfile, apache has to fire up php, process the php script which then sends the image (which means another handle to read the file and so on), so there is a big difference between the two.

Re: [PHP] shebang line drive me nuts.
hi Stut, I wish it was the line endings - I checked and they where unix-style. I do edit on windows normally (unless it's some rush fix and then I'll use vi or nano) but I have the line-endings set to unix. vi gave no sign of a ^M and I rewrote the shebang there just to be safe. alas no joy.

Check the permissions on /usr/lib/php5 and on /usr/lib/php5/bin and on /usr/lib/php5/bin/php Any one of those being set incorrectly can deny you access.

Re: [PHP] Image list performance ISSUE

If apache sends the image, it just does: - is the path valid? - send it. If you use readfile, apache has to fire up php, process the php script which then sends the image (which means another handle to read the file and so on), so there is a big difference between the two.

Re: [PHP] Image list performance ISSUE
Sorry for the late answer,
I have different applications and the users are kept in DB so I cannot make
for every user a directory.
I made a solution with .htaccess from apache and redirection to a php script
that outputs the image if the user has rights to the images.
I will still have to check the performance of the system in this case, but I
think it will be the same.
The performance Issue that I asked was:
Is there a difference if apache sends the image or If I output it with php
with readfile.

Subject: [PHP] Image list performance ISSUE
Hi,
I have tons of images, which belongs to different users. In the software
we
show to the users only the images that they have, but If they take the
image
links manually they can also see the other images if they modify the image
name in the link.
Now, I can override the image request with apache rewrite and send the
request to a php file, which analizes the user rights and if the user has
rights to see that image. After that I output the image file with php this
way:
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($fname));
readfile($fname);
... where fname is the image file.
I want to know... is this a big performance issue or not(the image is
handled by php and not by apache directly)
OR...
Is there any other way to handle this situation???
Thanx,
Andy.
