Good habits to form, overall. Most examples and tutorials are trivial, which
is why they do the intermingling thing. To be fair, that was one of PHP's
original strengths over its competition in the early days (vis, Perl and C),
because it made doing simple stuff simple. You didn't need to dynamically
build the whole page if you only wanted a small bit to be dynamic. Of
course, once you get into anything interesting, you frequently DO want the
whole page dynamic or else templated.
In my case, I tend to use php-based templates and "theme functions", a style
borrowed from Drupal. To wit, I have a function like this (off the cuff, not
tested):
function call_template($template, $args) {
extract($args);
ob_start();
include($template);
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $output;
}
$template is then the name of a mostly-HTML .php file where I can use PHP for
display (mostly just echoing), making it easy to separate logic and
presentation and build the page piecemeal. It also means that I have all the
power of PHP for my template "engine".
Then I also have functions like
theme_table($header=array(), $rows=array(), $caption='', $attrib=array()) {}
or
theme_unorderedlist($items=array()) {}
So that I can just pass logical data structures and get back fully
semantically useful HTML. (Eg, theme_table automatically puts in even/odd
classes on tr tags for me.)
Again, credit here goes to the Drupal CMS, which uses a much more developed
and refined version of this concept.

Re: [PHP] Coding Style Question...
Hi Tony, Sounds like a good start. I have to admit that one that I prefer is that HTML code should be completely separated from PHP via the use of a templating engine of some sort (I'm a fan of XTemplate). I'll probably get strong opposition for these comments, but in my opinion, there's nothing worse than mixing two different lanuages in a single file, not to mention mixing functional code with layout code.

For what it's worth, I'm reading a book just now about scalable PHP Websites and the author (one of the creators of Flickr) documents this issue as an example. At Flickr they created their own custom file transfer protocol system to move uploaded images to the image processing and storage system. So there you go. From one of the more successful image processing websites, this is howto do it :) The overhead with all the other options proved too much.

You're not gonna like my answer... :-) vi Since my db connection code is the same one-liner (2 for MySQL) every time, it's not exactly tricky. The UI is always a couple functions in the globals.inc for the masthead/navigation and footer, which only takes as long as it takes to make it "pretty" (or slap in somebody else's "pretty", more likely) so there's no RAD for PHP involved there. So then I'm pretty much stuck writing the custom stuff for the content in the middle which is, well, custom... So there's not a lot of RAD to do on that bit. I suppose if you insist on cluttering up your code with some massive framework of silly wrappers that don't have any added value, and it's always the same template-like code every time anyway, you could just write that ONCE, and then copy it to a new directory whenever you start a new project.

There *IS* no such thing as "immediately" in this world. It's a nonsense word in this context. How much time do you REALLY have here as a constraint? Re-think this carefully, because any answer that doesn't provide at least a few seconds is just plain Wrong. :-) Now, once you've got "immediately" out of your head, ponder whether or not the user really wants to sit around, even for a few extra seconds, while *YOU* dink around with this scp stuff. I don't. Would you? Of course not! The user wants to upload the file, and then use those seconds to do something else useful, instead of watching your locked-up web application do "nothing" that is useful to them. If that LAMP/thttp connection gets slogged by a lot of uploads, the LAST thing you want is all your users sitting around *waiting* on that task which is, by definition, out-of-band with what the user wants to do. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.

rsync
Or do the images on the LAMP box go away?
I'll bet that there's a configuration of rsync for that anyway, come
to think of it.
If rsync is "out", the difference between an "immediate" exec('scp')
in PHP and an every-minute cron job is probably going to be moot, for
most users, in most real-world scenarios, if you handle it right.
Provide the user with some nice "eye candy" in between that will
distract them from the fact that it takes 62 seconds for their photo
to show up...
For most of them, by the time they finish the upload and click on to
the next page to view it, they've already burned 10 to 20 seconds
anyway...
Or, better yet, just take the upload, and then let them move on to
whatever else they want to do, without giving them that immediate view
of the photo.
If you work at it, a good Usability can be achieved without the scp,
almost for sure.
You just have to keep the user informed of the status, so they know
what's going on, and update that cleanly, so they are kept current on
the status -- all without compromising security, nor over-loading the
server with requests.
A simple status indicator on your masthead/navbar of recent uploads --
"3 uploads in process" or "all uploads processed" is all you really
need for this kind of app.
Don't go all AJAXy and start burning up HTTP connections just to give
them "instant feedback" -- They really don't care so long as:
1) They're kept informed as they do their tasks
2) They can force it to "check" if they've nothing better to do
3) The thing works fast and efficiently enough to be "nice"
Start off with "Your photo has been uploaded and is being transerred
to our super-fast photo servers. We'll keep you posted in your status
bar, and you can just keep on working." after the upload.
Honestly, I like to double-check the uploaded images, but not if it's
gonna take THAT long while you dink around scp-ing them or whatever.
Let me do something *else* while you're doing that, and I'll check on
them later. Thanks. :-)

For starters, you should us a FULL PATH to /id_dsa because the shell
exec() uses is not a full-blown shell in your home directory.
Next, you have to realize that PHP does not run as "you" but as
"nobody" or "www" or some similarly less-enabled user, for security
reasons, on most setups.
Third, you should use the optional third argument to exec() so you can
get the OS error number of what went wrong. For bonus points, you can
install my http://l-i-e.com/perror module to get the error number
converted to a nice string, or you can fire up an ssh shell and do:
perror ## where ## is what came back in this optional third argument.
Fourth, you really should use the full path to scp, as, again, the
shell exec() is using is not a full-blown shell like you get when you
login, and PHP is not running as "you" so may not even have permission
to run scp.
Did I mention that PHP doesn't run as you, so this all boils down to a
permissions problem? :-)

Once you have put the user 'gamito' in to that table, with the host
'localhost', you cannot add a SECOND user 'gamito' for 'localhost'
because there is a UNIQUE KEY constraint on that 2-field combination.
You could add '%', 'gamito' or you could add 'localhost', 'gamito2'
but not another 'localhost', 'gamito'
I'm also going to wonder aloud why you are doing this when there are a
plethora of tools available to manipulate the MySQL user table...

RE: [PHP] Client Computer Registration
actually richar, and others... depending on what they're doing, it's quite alot to it. if the bank is being agressive, they might be requiring a client app to be downloaded and is then able to communicate with the client app, thereby getting a great deal more information. a few companies have begun the process of not just dealing with authorizing the user, but the computer/device as well. and it really makes sense. in this way, i as a business can state with a high degree of confidence that the computer in the house (assuming i as a business were to take it that far) was used for the transaction in question... furthermore, if the dispute isn't satisfied, i can then add the computer to a "blacklist" of devices.. if enough companies use this kind of system, and the database is large enough, it becomes an additional tool to use to minimize online transaction abuse... as to if people want to be part of this kind of system.. that's a huge unknown... to be frank, it does open up a number of potential 'privacy' issues.. but as scott mcnealy said before.."you have no privacy, get over it!!" peace... ps. check out www.passmarksecurity.com -Original Message- From: Richard Lynch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 2:11 PM To: Rahul S.

No. And you could maybe write one, if it was all strings in the array, but you're gonna be screwed when PHP 6 with Unicode comes out, cuz the number of bytes "depends" on where you're gonna store it, in which charset, and several other factors...

Just do *NOT* do it with $_GET / $_POST / $_REQUEST -- You may as well
just turn register_globals back on if you're gonna do that. Same
thing either way, so you gain nothing in terms of the [some say
alleged] benefits of register_globals off, if you're just gonna turn
around and pollute your variables anyway.

It's a Documented Feature...
How wrong can it be?...
[shrug]
Though I confess I've got more than a few nits to pick with documented
features myself, so I'll be the first to admit I'm the pot calling the
kettle black.
I gotta say, though, that adding the {} around it just looks plain
messy to me, and flip-flopping in/out of a string with a bunch of
concat operators does not appeal either, for the same reason.
If "...$row[title]..." is "just wrong" then I'd rather see this before
the alternatives above:
$title = $row['title'];
"...$title..."

You may THINK you are seeing "wibble wobble" in your browser, but
that's because a browser smushes all whitespace into just one
whitespace -- that's why you need all over the place in the Bad
Old Days... :-)
Anyway, you could be managing to strip out the newlines, I suppose, in
which case you have to figure out where you are doing that.
Echo out the data as it travels into/through/out-of your system.
echo ""; htmlentities($whatever); "";
For removing the HTML, use http://php.net/striptags
For ancient browsers that give non-standard newlines do like this with
the input:
$text = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $text); //non-standard Windows browsers
$text = str_replace("\r", "\n", $text); //non-standard Mac browsers
Then, on *OUTPUT* to a browser, only on output to a browser, you can
use http://php.net/nl2br to format the newlines for HTML.
The reason for doing this only on output is this:
Some day, even if you don't think you will, you *might* need to output
this to someting other than a browser. RSS, CSV dump, or some new
fancy format we haven't even invented yet.
Don't "pollute" your raw data (the newlines) with a very
media-specific formatting code ("") -- Keep your raw data pure
and clean, and format for the destination when you send it there, not
when you store it.
There *might* be some egregious examples of over-loaded high-volume
servers where adding the "" at run-time is "too much work" -- At
that point, it's probably still not the "Right Answer" to pollute the
raw data. It might be expensive, but adding a cache of the output
data, or even a second field for data_as_html to the database should

Just use {$row['title']} or ${row['title']}, it will save you headaches. I
may be a purist, but it's also satisfying as it still indicates the array
element is a string rather than a constant. Anyway, the above two methods
are the preferred way I think.

[PHP] [ANNOUNCE] Suhosin 0.9.6 - Advanced PHP Protection System

Suhosin is our advanced PHP protection system installations. It was designed to and has already proved to be successful in protecting servers and users from known and unknown flaws in PHP applications and the PHP core. Suhosin consists of two independent parts that can be used separately or in combination. The first part is a small patch against the PHP core that implements a few low-level protections against buffer-overflows or format string vulnerabilities and the second part is a feature-rich PHP extension that implements a lot of security safeguards for your PHP installations. Unlike our Hardening-Patch Suhosin is binary compatible to normal PHP installations, which means it is compatible to 3rd party binary extensions like ZendOptimizer or ZendPlatform. With this first official stable release of Suhosin the Hardening-Patch is declared deprecated and replaced by Suhosin. Availability This extension is available under the PHP License. You can get the newest version at http://www.suhosin.org Additionally Suhosin is available in the FreeBSD ports system and soon in the Gentoo portage. The upcoming OpenSuSE version most probably contains binary packages of Suhosin, too. Support and Documentation = The installation how-to, the documentation and the FAQ for Suhosin are available on the website: http://www.suhosin.org A users support forum is available under: http://forum.hardened-php.net Featurelist === Engine Protection (only with patch) --- * Protects the internal memory manager against buffer-overflows with Canary and Safe-Unlink Protection * Protects Destructors of Zend Hashtables * Protects Destructors of Zend Linked-Lists * Protects the PHP core and extensions against format string vulnerabilities * Protects against errors in certain libc realpath() implementations Misc Features - * Protection Simulation mode * Adds the functions sha256() and sha256_file() to the PHP core * Adds support for CRYPT_BLOWFISH to crypt() on all platforms * EXPERIMENTAL SQL database user protection Runtime Protection -- * Transparent Cookie Encryption * Protects against different (Remote-)Include Vulnerabilities - disallows Remote URL inclusion (optional: black-/whitelisting) - disallows inclusiong of uploaded files - optionally stops directory traversal attacks * Allows disabling the preg_replace() /e modifier * Allows disabling eval() * Protects against infinite recursion through a configurable maximum execution depth * Supports per Virtual Host / Directory configurable function black- and whitelists * Supports a separated function black- and whitelist for evaluated code * Protects against HTTP Response Splitting Vulnerabilities * Protects against scripts manipulating the memory_limit * Protects PHP's superglobals against extract() and import_request_vars() * Adds protection against newline attacks to mail() * Adds protection against \0 attack on preg_replace() Session Protection -- * Transparent encryption of session data * Transparent session hijacking protection * Protection against overlong session identifiers * Protection against malicious chars in session identifiers Filtering Features -- * Filters ASCIIZ characters from user input * Ignores GET, POST, COOKIE variables with the following names: - GLOBALS, _COOKIE, _ENV, _FILES, _GET, _POST, _REQUEST - _SERVER, _SESSION, HTTP_COOKIE_VARS, HTTP_ENV_VARS - HTTP_GET_VARS, HTTP_POST_VARS, HTTP_POST_FILES - HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA, HTTP_SERVER_VARS, HTTP_SESSION_VARS * Allows enforcing limits on REQUEST variables or separated by type (GET, POST, COOKIE) * Supports a number of variables per request limit * Supports a maximum length of variable names [with and without indicies] * Supports a maximum length of array indicies * Supports a maximum length of variable values * Supports a maximum depth of arrays * Allows only a configurable number of uploaded files * Supports verification of uploaded files through an external script * Supports automatic b

I see this being executed twice. -> mysql_query($sqlInsertUser); I
believe that is your problem. Change the above code to look like this.
$result = mysql_query($sqlInsertUser);
if($result){
$messagesqlInsertUser = 'Success...';
}else{
$messagesqlInsertUser = 'Error: ' . mysql_error();
}

does that actually work? not that I care - I still consider it wrong.
there are 2 proper ways to do it:
1. interpolation with curly braces:
$x = "...Title: {$row['title']} bla bla";
2. break out of the string:
$x = "...Title: ".$row['title']." bla bla";

Re: [PHP] Client Computer Registration
Ave, Yes I doubted MAC address could be recorded so easily, and I highly doubted Key.Com's application had anything to do with a MAC Address. If it's Cookie-Based, then in my opinion it's more of a 'show' then any actual, vital security implementation. I have everything from Cookies, IP Filter, SSL (https) to secure database-enabled user/pass authentication going on. I was curious to know what Key.Com was exactly doing Maybe something I missed I was curious to know how they were identifying each individual computer? What they were recording (or storing) to differentiate and thus uniquely id a computer. Thanks for your response. On 10/2/06 8:23 AM, "Stut" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rahul S.

extract() - http://www.php.net/extract - does what you are after.
However often it's easier to handle the array as you have a better idea
of what variables are available, particularily if you are working with
multiple tables.

Ave, I saw this at the Key.Com website for Keybank Customers. When you go to their website to login to view your account, they ask you to register your computer for the first time. Once your computer is registered, you can access the account using that computer. You can choose to Not register that computer and you won¹t be able to access the account using that computer in future. What exactly are they doing? Can PHP record the MAC Address of the NIC in the computer? Or are they just recording the IP and creating an IP based filteration?

Your output is what the code would show in a browser without passing through the PHP interpreter. Browsers ignore what they don't understand, thus, they ignore the in the .
