Re: [PHP] Form Processing Question - Empty Fields
Tijnema wrote: On 5/23/07, Stephen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a script to process the post from a form. The form is used to upload photos and has fields for the filename, alt text, caption and a checkbox to indicate if this photo is the main page image rotation. I wanted to build a general routine to build the form to allow for a varying number of photos to upload. I use main_image[] for the various checkboxes for each photo. I see that the checkbox is *not* set, I get nothing back, and if the second photo is checked (and the first not checked), I get main_image[0] = 'on'. And I see this happens for the caption[] array as well. This seems to me to be pretty ugly. Am I understanding this properly? Do I really have to use main_image1, main_image2 Thanks Stephen No, you don't need to, it's the way you write your HTML form. Again, this is Off topic, as this has nothing to do with PHP, but well, we are here to help people in general. Worryingly I agree with Greg here - this is on-topic because it relates to the way PHP processes GET and POST vars. As you didn't provided your code, I'm giving a general example which worked for my photo site, and should work for your example too. You should replace foto_id_here with the ID of the photo you want to be checked. input type='checkbox' name='photos[]' value=photo_id_here/ And now $_POST['photos'] will be an array with the values being the IDs of the checked photos. That is indeed the solution, but I think it's important to explain why this is happening. Take the example where you have 3 checkboxes, named photo1, photo2 and photo3. Say photo2 and photo3 are checked, the POST data will look like this... photo2=onphoto3=on Now consider the same 3 checkboxes, but all named photos[]. Since the browser knows nothing about the square brackets, it creates the POST data in the same way... photos[]=onphotos[]=on Now you see the problem. Nothing in that data indicates which checkboxes were checked. By doing what Tijnema suggests you would end up with... photos[]=2photos[]=3 Hopefully that explains why what you've implemented is doing what it's doing and will help you avoid problems like this in future. -Stut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] two php scripts with same $_SESSION variables
Hello, Thank you for the answers. The issue is that the same codes are in folders A and B. When they are run from two different browsers, I am getting the behavior I 'd like to see with two session ids being created and therefore no sharing of $_SESSION variables. But when the two apps are opened inside the same browser, the $_SESSION variables are shared and that makes sense because session_id() returns the same value.

The only way to do that would be to create a session_id yourself, eg. session_id(time().rand(0,1000)); Then pass that id through your scripts via POST or GET, start the session using that ID.

I think that what you want is a different session *name* for each application.
To get this, just call session_name() with the appropriate value immediately
before every session_start(). For example, for the files in A you could use:
session_name('SESSID_A');
session_start();
whilst those in B would have:
session_name('SESSID_B');
session_start();

Changing the session name is better, and I'm kicking myself for not
thinking of it. It's more portable because you won't have to change the
code if you move it to another location.

[PHP] Creating an executer
Hi, Summary: 1. I execute script1 that will run in the background (daemon) 2. script1 needs to execute script2 and capture STDERR, STDOUT and exitcode from script2 if script2 exits before SIGTERM is received. 3. If I send SIGTERM to script1 it should kill script2, and write to DB (or log file some information that it was stopped) Simple, isn't it? But I cannot seam to get it to work. Anyone with some example code that does the same thing? = More complex description I have some scripts (perl, c, php, or anything else) that simple independent scripts that do some stuff and output STDOUT and STDERR and exit with an exitcode. There scripts will be kept like this, and will not change their behavior. Now I need to control them and also log their STDOUT, STDERR and exitcode. Ok, that far I have come, so that I am logging the STDOUT, STDERR and exitcode. What I am doing is that I have created an executer that takes care of this and writing it to DB. Now I need to add a functionality so that when the executer receives a SIGTERM signal it should kill the script (that was started with a exec() call, and then log some information to the DB (that the script was killed etc). I have registered the signal SIGTERM with pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, sig_handler). When I am testing I just write some info to a file when the signal is received. I created a simple testing script with a while(true) loop and then send the signal to the script and it successfully writes the information to the logflie. Ok, now I instead of a while(true) loop make an exec() call to a script (that is running for ever) and send the signal, then it does not write to the file as it is supposed to. I guess it is because the script is busy running the exec command. I tried to then exec() it in the background. The problem there is that it becomes a daemon and then I cannot know what that script is doing, and it will not send any SIGCHLD to the parent, or it does, but to init. Or actually there will be a SIGCHLD sent, as the exec() will open its own shell, and then the shell will exit and we get the SIGCHLD from the shell instead of the executed script. Is there any way to get the child process PID when you exec() and send it to the background? But then, how can I capture the exitcode? The STDERR and STDOUT is fine as I can direct it to a file and get it from there. I have a really ugly workarounds: I could append an dummy variable to the execution of the script and then do a grep of the ps -ef to get the PID of that script. /Peter -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Re: RE: Cannot access file on Network Drive (Windows 2003)
Well, I'll say you've dramatically upped the ante by having an Apache server on a windows box attempt to mount and read a file on a MacOS machine. Yipes! So let me get this straight: * Apache is on Windows Server 2003. * PHP is running on Apache. * A folder containing scripts/data/both is on a MacOSX machine. * A user from frontierland knocks on PHP's front host.com:80 door and says, Please... * PHP - Apache: Gimme gimme [resource P] * Apache says, Ok, let me get the data from location X. * Apache - location X: Pretty Please, gimme gimme. * location X - Apache: [barf] * Apache - PHP: No luck. Can you, from the Windows 2003 machine, manually access the folder/file that you're asking PHP (through Apache) to access? Unless the service that Apache is running under has permissions to communicate with the share resource (location X), this will always fail. Steps: 1) From Win2003 box, open My Computer and attempt to physically navigate to the remote network share you attempting to access. If at all possible, use the exact user permission set that Apache runs under. To determine this, right-click on the bottom, right corner of the Win2003 desktop above the time and select Task Manager, Processes tab, click to sort on Image Name tab, and look for Apache.exe. The user name associated with this executable will be the permissions you will need to use. 2) If you cannot connect to the network resource, then at least you have a permissions issue (it may be others, though). Get this working first. 3) If you can connect, open, read, write, and execute from this permission set (user/group), then you're at least sure that the machines can talk. Next, you will need to determine if the Apache UID permissions are acting up (in Safe Mode, this is entirely possible, and a black art in itself...). 4) Once you've determine Win/Mac communications and Apache server permissions aren't impeding the process, you can work on the actual script issues which may be present. Remember, the computers need to be able to communicate and interact, then apache/IIS/other, then PHP. Verify the simplest potential problems first, then work your way up into the place where the problem currently exists. Getting Macs to be on speaking terms with Win machines, I would think, would be a MAJOR headache if you've never done it before.

I would like to, as you suggested, try and get Apache to run as a service under a user that can access the network resource. Well, I have already described how to do this two posting ago (and the advice from another user was to read the Apache documentation...): 1) Go to Win2003 desktop 2) Right-click on bottom, right part of desktop (right on top of the clock). 3) Select 'Task Manager', click Processes Tab, sort Image Name by clicking tab. 4) Find 'apache.exe' or some variation of. 5) Look at the username associated with the process. If this is 'System' or something type of special user (or a basic user without network privileges extended to it), then you will need to modify this by: 1) Locate the My Computer link on your desktop. 2) Right-click on top of the link, select Manage, choose 'Services and Applications', and select Services. 3) Find the apache service, double click to open properties, click on the 'Log On' tab, and see what user it is setup to use. If this is a system account, I would think you would need to change this to a network account, preferably one for which the password will not expire... If apache is not running as a service, then you will need to determine how it is starting up, and modify that to run under a different process with modified user permissions. I definitely agree about using non-mapped addresses and using the actual Server Name addresses. For ease on the eyes, mappings are great, but they are not reliable for programming purposes, IMHO.

I'm not sure exactly what kind of sanitization you think you're doing, but
if all you do is check to see if it's empty (empty() implements isset(),
empty() checks to see if it's set, then if it evaluates to an empty
variable), that's not much sanitization.
What you need to do is check for SQL injections, which means you need to
sanitize GPC (GET, POST, COOKIES) to prevent the following (only a
demonstration):
SELECT `colname` FROM `tablename` WHERE id='$variable' LIMIT 0,10
What happens if $variable is equal to:
$variable = $_POST['somedata'];
And $_POST['somedata'] ~ 'INSERT INTO users
VALUES('name','password','AdminGroup')' ;
This is an example of a possible SQL injection (which means unknown SQL code
is running through your script access). The way to prevent this is to escape
single quotes before insert/select, and also turn all html entities into
escaped values (so that someone cannot put a script/script block into
the signature for their user, for example).
The good thing is, there are numerous help sites online that describe how to
do this. Generally, you're better off wrapping your SQL commands into a
class or at least a series of functions, so that you can implement your
sanitization once and use it for all database interactions.

I cannot see any sql-injection protection in your code anywhere? Seems
as your using mysqli, take a look at the mysqli_real_escape_string()
function. You need to run each _POST variable throught it.
$FName = mysqli_real_escape_string($_POST['FName']);
Or if your post data only contains data to be entered into the database,
you might consider running everything through the function to make
things easier:
foreach($_POST as $k = $v)
$_POST[$k] = mysqli_real_escape_string($v);

Also, you should be checking against type (expecting a number? a boolean
value? a string?) and then checking against expected length requirements
(such as firstname can only be 80 characters long max, so maybe check for
code
if (strlen($var) 80) {
do something;
}
/code
In unit testing, you build your objects first against types and perform
object checks using type verification and expected element attributes (such
as length, non-null values, etc...). If someone is posting a string of 8000
letters into a field that is supposed to contain a number two letters long,
before it is stored, maybe you manage that...

[PHP] Check if Record was Entered Today.
Ave,
I have a dbase (dbf) database and I¹m using PHP¹s dbase function to open
search the database.
Each row in the database contains an Account Number and the Date it was
inserted.
I want to search this database for to see if the Account number ($thekey)
was inserted today (using date() to find out today¹s date).
Essentially, here¹s the code:
$db = dbase_open(try.dbf, 0);
if ($db) {
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($db);
for ($i = 1; $i = $record_numbers; $i++) {
$row = dbase_get_record_with_names($db, $i);
$thedate = date(mdY);
if(($row['ACC'] == $thekey) ($row['DATE'] == $thedate)) {
echo The Account Number has already been entered once today;
echo $row['DATE']. : .$thedate;
exit;
}
else {
echo The Account Number exists but not entered todaybr;
echo $row['DATE']. : .$thedate;
exit;
}
}
}
The problem is the scripts stops at the first entry of the Account Number,
and is not looping through all the rows which contain the Account Number. So
if the Account Number was entered yesterday, it stops and gives ³The Account
Number exists but not entered today² even though the Account Number does
exist in another row with Today¹s Date.
How do I make it loop through all the rows and check if there is any entry
with the Account Number Today¹s Date?
Thanks,

No, I think he's checking to make sure that $db contains a resource id and
not a boolean false (meaning the file did not load or contains no data).
Maybe a more descriptive way may be to say:
code
if ($db !== false is_resource($db)) {
doStuff();
}
/code
To the next problem:
'exit' terminates the script. You should not be using exit there.
When you want a loop structure to stop and goto what flows next in the code,
use break:
code
for ($i = 0; $i count($items); $i++) {
if ($items[$i] == $arbitraryCondition) {
echo 'I do not need to doStuff() anymore.';
break;
}
doStuff();
}
/code
When you want a loop structure to skip over something but still continue to
loop, use continue:
code
for ($i = 0; $i count($items); $i++) {
if ($items[$i] == $arbitraryCondition) {
echo 'I do not need to doStuff() on this item.';
continue;
}
doStuff();
}
/code
When reading through values in an array or other structure, you can while or
do/while loop:

[PHP] Did I find a bug in PHP 5.2.2?
First off, I'd like to explain I'm not a PHP programmer, so please bear with me. I'm trying to configure a Horde/IMP server. It worked yesterday. I installed rsync via packages, rebooted, and now no one can log into my Horde/IMP install. Why am I posting here?

I'm using FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p4, horde-base-3.1.4_2, imp-4.1.4_2, Apache/1.3.37, and PHP 5.2.2 with the Suhosin patch. If someone else has some idea about this already, that'd be great. I'm willing to try and help figure it out if more experienced (at all experienced, really) PHP people think this is a worthwhile avenue of inquiry, but I'm afraid I'll need a little help. For example, what does must have PHP configured with --enable-debug mean I need to do, exactly? And where should I be looking for php core files?

[PHP] Developer / Client Documents
First my problem, then a tiny bit of background information. I am trying to start a small (Read: Tiny) web development company from home, which will handle only a few light contracts. I have been spending some time searching Google for common documents used by developers and their clients to help layout all the goals and features the site might have. Unfortunately since I have not obtained any formal education, I am experiencing a slight fish-out-of-water syndrome, and am not even sure of the names of the documents I am seeking. I would be eternally grateful if some experienced developers would point me in the right direction; any documents related to planning the website, contracts, really anything would be considered useful. Now a little background, I am a stay at home father, with the majority of my daily duties centralized around wiping feces from the rear end of a young boy, feeding, and teaching. I don't have the time, money, nor resources to go to school for this, but am quite happy reading about web development whenever I get the opportunity (often 3-6 hours daily). I have what I believe to be a solid understanding of PHP, MySQL and Javascript basics, as well as w3c compliant HTML, and CSS. Currently I am spending some time studying the CakePHP framework. I also have a (very) basic understanding of XSS attacks, and SQL injections techniques and am working on improving this. I welcome ALL advice, even if it is not related to my initial question (Developer / Client documents) especially if the responder is, or was, a stay at home parent. However advice from anyone would be greatly welcomed, regardless of prior experiences. -- - Anthony Hiscox Video Watch Group Public Site Currently Under Development Group Members Site Fully Operational -

I believe this site has sufficient info to de-mystify most of this: http://bugs.php.net You may have a rather steep learning curve if you've never installed any Un*x software from source... To address your specific questions: --enable-debug is a flag you would pass to ./configure along with --enable-mysql and --enable-imap and any other fun extensions you use to compile PHP from source. A 'core' file is generally dumped into the directory you started in when you run a program... When Apache is started up and forks off children and all that, this becomes a bit murky. Fortunately, you can start Apache in single user (?) mode with -S at startup, and then you can surf to the one and only Apache child, and almost-for-sure, your core dump will be right there in the directory where you started, or maybe in Apache's bin directory. But somewhere where you would expect to find it. You may also want to check with the Suhosin folks before you post a bug to bugs.php.net, as the first response at bugs.php.net is to take Suhosin out of the picture and see if the segfault still happens -- They really can't do much about it if Suhosin added in code that broke things... There may also be others using Horde/IMP who have posted similar experiences in Horde/IMP forums/lists/etc. Good luck! -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?

Ave,
I have a dbase (dbf) database and I¹m using PHP¹s dbase function to

Each row in the database contains an Account Number and the Date it

inserted.
I want to search this database for to see if the Account number
($thekey)
was inserted today (using date() to find out today¹s date).
Essentially, here¹s the code:
$db = dbase_open(try.dbf, 0);
if ($db) {
$exists = false;
$today = false;
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($db);
for ($i = 1; $i = $record_numbers; $i++) {

$thedate = date(mdY);

// echo $row['DATE']. : .$thedate;

$today = true;
}
else {
// echo The Account Number exists but not entered

// echo $row['DATE']. : .$thedate;
// exit;
$exists = true;
}
}
}
if ($today) echo Yes, today.;
elseif ($exists) echo Yes, but not today.;
else echo No.;
The problem is the scripts stops at the first entry of the Account
Number,
and is not looping through all the rows which contain the Account
Number. So
if the Account Number was entered yesterday, it stops and gives ³The
Account
Number exists but not entered today² even though the Account Number
does
exist in another row with Today¹s Date.
exit; completely halts a script and does NOTHING else.
You maybe thought you wanted 'continue' or 'break' but those wouldn't
work for this either.

Re: [PHP] Creating an executer
I only skimmed this, but afaik the only way to get the child PID is to fork rather than to exec. On Thu, May 24, 2007 10:10 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Summary: 1. I execute script1 that will run in the background (daemon) 2. script1 needs to execute script2 and capture STDERR, STDOUT and exitcode from script2 if script2 exits before SIGTERM is received. 3. If I send SIGTERM to script1 it should kill script2, and write to DB (or log file some information that it was stopped) Simple, isn't it? But I cannot seam to get it to work. Anyone with some example code that does the same thing? = More complex description I have some scripts (perl, c, php, or anything else) that simple independent scripts that do some stuff and output STDOUT and STDERR and exit with an exitcode. There scripts will be kept like this, and will not change their behavior. Now I need to control them and also log their STDOUT, STDERR and exitcode. Ok, that far I have come, so that I am logging the STDOUT, STDERR and exitcode. What I am doing is that I have created an executer that takes care of this and writing it to DB. Now I need to add a functionality so that when the executer receives a SIGTERM signal it should kill the script (that was started with a exec() call, and then log some information to the DB (that the script was killed etc). I have registered the signal SIGTERM with pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, sig_handler). When I am testing I just write some info to a file when the signal is received. I created a simple testing script with a while(true) loop and then send the signal to the script and it successfully writes the information to the logflie. Ok, now I instead of a while(true) loop make an exec() call to a script (that is running for ever) and send the signal, then it does not write to the file as it is supposed to. I guess it is because the script is busy running the exec command. I tried to then exec() it in the background. The problem there is that it becomes a daemon and then I cannot know what that script is doing, and it will not send any SIGCHLD to the parent, or it does, but to init. Or actually there will be a SIGCHLD sent, as the exec() will open its own shell, and then the shell will exit and we get the SIGCHLD from the shell instead of the executed script. Is there any way to get the child process PID when you exec() and send it to the background? But then, how can I capture the exitcode? The STDERR and STDOUT is fine as I can direct it to a file and get it from there. I have a really ugly workarounds: I could append an dummy variable to the execution of the script and then do a grep of the ps -ef to get the PID of that script. /Peter -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- Some people have a gift link here.

You don't need the parens either -- It's NOT a function at all.
It's a language construct.
The space should probably be left in there without the parens.
And you'll have to duke it out with a zillion other developers about
whether to have a space or not between function name and paren, as I
don't care enough to argue it.

I can only guess that the Services User starts Apache initially, which then changes itself to the httpd.conf User before PHP enters into the picture.

This mess will *ALWAYS* evaluate to TRUE, because the $value is ALWAYS
only one value, and thus the other 99 values are going to evaluate to
TRUE and you have || between them...
So you have:
TRUE || TRUE || TRUE || FALSE || TRUE || TRUE ... || TRUE
which is always gonna boil down to TRUE.
You wanted instead of ||
Actually, it would be MUCH better imho to set up a couple arrays like:
$states = array('Alabama', 'Alaska', ...);
$sts = array('AL', 'AK', ...);
if (!isset($states[$value]) !isset($sts[$value])){
echo Bad Dog!;
}
YMMV
