Works for me, so you've definitely missed something somewhere.

Like telling us what's in $strContent and whatever else is before the
code that you think is broken, but isn't, because that code that came
before this code is what's really broken.

To make the form "secure" in regards to internet transmission, you
need to install OpenSSL (or other SSL implementation) and buy an SSL
Certificate from a reputable CA (e.g., Verisign/Thawte...)

Well, okay, technically, you can generate a free one for yourself, and
it's just as secure in the transmission, but the browser pops up a
nasty warning to the users that they are doing something insecure
(i.e., trusting you even though you haven't paid the $200 for a
background check to get a Cert) and you almost for sure don't want
that.

The algorithm to check the validity of a CC number can be found in
Google so easily, I refuse to even answer that one. :-)

"credit card number validity checksum algorithm" ought to get you the
results you want.

This line:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path   C:\WINDOWS

tells you that PHP *looked* for the php.ini file in:
C:\WINDOWS

However, it did not FIND php.ini there, as there is no php.ini on the
path name shown.

Therefore, PHP just used the default default values for everything.

You need to copy the php.ini-recommended to C:\WINDOWS and name it
php.ini

You'll then need to restart Apache, errr, IIS, which probably means
reboot the whole machine, knowing Microsoft. :-)

If it's not safe_mode as Stut suggests, it's also possible that the
PHP user (probably Apache User) does not have permission to write into
/var/www/html/B/var/tmp/queue, regardless of whether you are in A or
B.

It's also remotely possible that your server is running two (or more)
pools of Apache servers, one for each of A and B (and others) and A
can write to A dir and B can write to B dir, because each is running
as a different user.

Or, you could be using php_suexec or fast cgi to achieve a similar
effect...

Basically, this is going to boil down to:

PHP us running as User X.

User X does not have permission to write to dir B.

The permission could be foiled by PHP with safe_mode, or could be
built into the permissions on the directories with chmod.

So if it's not safe_mode, mess around with "ls -als" on the directory,
and use phpinfo() or http://php.net/get_current_user to figure out who
you are, and then it should be pretty clear who can/can't write to
that directory and why it's not working.

Sendmail and exim definitely have this sort of problem, I don't think

I think you've managed to confuse more than you've explained...

" does have an HTML equivalent, it's "

htmlspecialchars and htmlentities do the same thing to ", they turn it
into " so it can be displayed as CONTENT in a webpage instead of
possibly being mistaken for CODE.

Both functions will also do exactly the same thing for < > & as well: 
Convert them to < > & respectively.

htmlentities will ALSO convert every other goofy character into an
HTML Equivalent, so it is safe to spew out to a browser, so the
browser will know it's CONTENT and not CODE.

htmlspecialchars will do NO conversion on anything but those special
four chars, so is not save to apply unless you somehow magically
"know" that the data contains no HTML-specific characters other than
those four...

IOW, htmlspecialchars is probably not real useful for general everyday
PHP scripting, as it only escapes 4 our of a whole bunch of characters
that need escapgin.

htmlentities is irreplacable for general everyday PHP scripting,
because it escapes all of them.

htmlspecialchars ONLY escapes four characters: < > & "

htmlentities escapes ALL characters that need it

I honestly can think of no valid use for htmlspecialchars, to tell you
the truth...

There must be some use for it, though.

Put it this way:
Whatever data you have, it probably shouldn't contain HTML if you are
asking this question, so you probably should be using htmlentities to
escape everything and be safe.

If it DOES have HTML in it, and you want that HTML to get to the
browser, I'm concerned that you don't understand just how dangerous
that is...

Maybe you already know this, and it's too detail oriented to be in
your diagram.  Maybe not.

Filter Input; Escape Output

Escape output is pretty easy:

Right before you cram it into MySQL, put it into another variable with
mysql_real_escape_string() called on it first, and put THAT into
MySQL, not the original.

Right before you spew it to a browser, call htmlentities() on it, and
use THAT to go out to the browser, not the original.

Filter Input is a bit tougher...

It basically boils down to:

Trust no one.
Validate everything.

If the PHP (read: Apache) User is not "trusted" in sendmail config,
then sendmail won't let that user forge the return headers, and the
return comes from the default set in sendmail configuration.

Substitute postfix or whatever as appropriate for your configuration.

So you now have the joy of digging into sendmail configuration.

If you have the service from the SMS vendors, you can lookup the
carrier for any number.

If there was a web service for it, you'd have a zillion more spammers
using those gateways to send text messages to random cell numbers.  Oh

Almost for sure no.

The SMS carriers are taking their lessons from email spam and pretty
much won't let you do anything even remotely like that hinky.

Plus, their only customers are mostly, umm, errr, ring tones and
fortune-tellers, so they have more than enough problems already with
disputed billing from their clients' customers.

Hmmm.  I'm probably conflating "SMS short code provisioning" with more
general short code services, as I only worked on a short code
application...  But I'm betting you can't forge the caller phone
number even in "regular" messaging.  Just too much room for abuse
there.

Good Luck!

Re: [PHP] text field truncation with sql server

[Richard Lynch]

What is the 3981st character?

Does your database driver, whatever it is, which you've told us is not
PDO, have any kind of limit in the buffer size of query data
back/forth?

What driver ARE you using?
I see mssql in the code, so assume that's it, right?...

Does it happen on every record at 3980?
If you don't know, add more records with enough length to find out.

PS
Using all those echo statements probably a pretty bad habit to get
into, and you probably should be using htmlentities() on each element,
before you do the nl2br...

If the 3981st character happens to be a '<' that would explain why you
aren't seeing our data...  Use "View Source" in your browser if you
don't understand the preceding sentence. :-)

Please, do not cast aspersions upon the telcos, for those of us who work

But alas, I do have an advantage. I have reversed engineered some of the

XMLSchemas.  i am currently vaguely familiar w/ those technologies and
therefore dont know how to incorporate them into the image.
actually to be quite honest i dont think the would really be used when
generating a page to send to the client.  really those are important if you
expose an API and allow clients to send data to your application.  then it
would be handy to validate that xml w/ a dtd or xml schema.   the other
thing as i mentioned before is i cannot see a reason to create xml
data while processing a GET or POST request from a client; it would just be
an extra step with no apparent benefit as far as i can tell.

[PHP] Social Networking Sites OT

[Richard Lynch]

It's gotten to the point where I pretty much view social networking
sites as just another form of spammers...

I blogged about it, and would like feedback from members of this
lists, for various reasons I would hope would be obvious.

PLEASE put responses in my blog, or your blog, or whatever, but not
here, as I'm sure this thread could be quite annoying as it has
minimal to zero concrete PHP content.

[PHP] text field truncation with sql server

[Bruce Cowin]

I have a simple page that displays a record from the sql server database.  One 
of the fields is a text field and keeps getting truncated at 3980 characters.  
I searched and saw someone had reported this as a PDO bug so I'm not using PDO 
anymore, but I'm still getting the truncation.  Anyone know about this or have 
a work around?  Here is the code.  It's the body field that is a text field.  
I've checked the field in the database and it definitely has more data than is 
displayed.

$cn = mssql_connect($myserver, $myuser, $mypwd);
mssql_select_db($mydb, $cn);
$result = mssql_query("select * from emails where id = 
$emailid", $cn);
$row = mssql_fetch_array($result, MSSQL_ASSOC);

echo "";
echo "Id: " . $row['id'] . "";
echo "From: " . $row['mailfrom'] . "";
echo "To: " . $row['mailto'] . "";
echo "Cc: " . $row['mailcc'] . "";
echo "Subject: " . $row['subject'] . "";
echo "Date: " . $row['sentdate'] . "";
echo "Body: " . nl2br($row['body']) . "";
echo "";

Thanks for any help.

Sure.

Additionally, is there a good reference on the net that explains the

Main negative things I have read about short open tags:

1. Not as portable.
2. Security risk/less secure.
3. Will conflict with XML tags.

Re: [PHP] SMS questions

[Nathan Nobbe]

Brian,


Here's another thing that would be nice: A web service to look up the
carrier for a cell number. That way you could simply send an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], though this would still be only a partial
solution. This is a lot harder now that numbers are transportable
between carriers.


from what i can tell this is somewhat of a pipe dream, unless youre a big
company that a telco *really* likes and have tons of money.  the voip
industry
which ive been working in for nearly 2 years now has lots of feature like
this.
the only reason they have those features is because of the sheer nature of
voip, which enables almost anyone to provide telephone functionality over
the
internet.
cell phones are a totally different story though and my fear is the only way
to
get in is a dirty hack they [telcos] are overlooking that if properly
exploited could become
an open source movement that the phone companies would have to accept.
something similar to the open source voip movement but w/ cell phones.
i was close to this hack late last year, but its so unreliable that theres
no way
to go to production w/ it.

Re: [PHP] Array Push question

[John Comerford]

As you guys can probably guess from the question I'm still getting to 
grips with some parts of php.


I had stripped down the code for my original post, maybe this will clear 
things up a bit:


$Rows[] = array();
$currentRow = count($Rows) - 1;
$Rows[$currentRow]['test'] = "this is a test";
$Rows[$currentRow]['Data'] = array();
$Rows[$currentRow]['Config'] = "This is the row config";

So from what you guys have said I have changed it to be the following:

$Rows[] = array('test' => 'this is a test', 'Data' => array(), 'Config' 
=> 'This is the row config');


Which seems to be doing what I want.

Thanks for the replies,
 JC

Hi Folks,

Is there a better way of doing the following:

I imagine that you are doing other actions between the above three 
lines? Correct?


Really, the simplest way of doing this is to call this over and over 
again.


$Rows[]['test'] = "this is a test";

it will give you the same results as array_push, but without a 
function call


$Rows[]['test'] = "this is a test";
$Rows[]['test'] = "this is another test";
$Rows[]['test'] = "this is even another test";

print_r($Rows);

this will show you that it does what you are doing in the above code, 
but again, the question.
What are you doing between all the lines of code that made you think 
that you had to do it your example way?  Are you using count() and 
doing math with it?  or something else?




Specifically I am wonder if I can avoid having to use 'count'.

TIA,

Re: [PHP] SMS questions

[Nathan Nobbe]

Brian,

I was experimenting late last year using PHP to send SMS messages.  I think
there is a
lot of potential in the marketplace around SMS.  But most of the phone
companies wouldnt
even talk to me and all i was trying to do was hit a development API to test
some code out.
im almost certain you will have to go through a provider if you intend to
have messages source #
based upon a value you provide rather than a phone you own.
i have already grown a deep hatred for telcos due to this exclusive club
thing they have going.
i will focus all my energy on any opportunity that arises to thwart them.
good luck,

RE: [PHP] mail function from and reply to address problem

[Steve Perkins]

Sounds more like the mail server than PHP. Although weird anyway ! What mail
server are you using : local/remote, smtp/sendmail/qmail ? 

Try using whatever method and send a mail through this server from outside
of PHP with the same problem parameters ? Does that work ? It should either
eliminate PHP, or point the finger ! I suspect eliminate but you never
know..

That's where I think I'd start anyway. Send uz an update when you have some
answers.

[PHP] Re: Displaying HTML characters in real format

[Dan]

string htmlentities ( string $string [, int $quote_style [, string $charset 
[, bool $double_encode]]] )


This function is identical to htmlspecialchars() in all ways, except with 
htmlentities(), all characters which have HTML character entity equivalents 
are translated into these entities.


This means that if there's an HTML equivelant it will translate into that. 
For example.  ' and " don't have HTML equivelants, it is ', anything 
with a #number won't get translated.  With htmlspecialchars it will.


Hope that answered your question.

Are you saying that in the text that you want to have displayed, it has "

or is it that you have a quot " and want to run htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities() on it?  and

   How are you attempting to create the file?
   What do your PHP settings allow and disallow?
   Do you mean " directory on the same server" or that you're

create a file?
   Can you provide the code that you're trying to use to create the file?

Re: [PHP] URLs

[Richard Heyes]

This may or may not be a PHP question - I'll let the group decide. Note 
this URL:


http://www.someplace.com/SomeDirectory/SomeFile

compared to this URL:

http://www.someplace.com/SomeDirectory/SomeFile.php

Okay. How does one create the URL with no file extension? Is this done 
through PHP or is this a server setting? Thanks in advance!


A number of ways. You could use mod_rewrite, though you shouldn't if you 
care at all about performance.


Directories. ie. Make SomeFile a directory with an index.php file in it. 
You will end up up with a trailing slash on the URL though.


ForceType (IIRC). Use this directive in Apache to specify that SomeFile 
is actually be parsed by PHP. SomeFile should be a PHP script. Or 
SomeDirectory could actually be a PHP file again used with ForceType 
which inspects the URL and serves up the correct content.


The ForceType method is used on phpguru.org to make "static" look like a 
directory. It's actually a PHP file that shows the correct template 
based on the URL.


Eg:

http://www.phpguru.org/static/positioning.html

You posted almost exactly the same request yesterday. No response

It was supposed to be "money is the root of all evil," but the
code above wouldn't work correctly anyway, as each time through the
for() loop it'll try to get the square root of the array.

The actual quote is "the love of money is the root of all evil", so you
need to find the root of love.

Re: [PHP] Array Push question

John Comerford wrote:

Hi Folks,

Is there a better way of doing the following:

$Rows[] = array();
$currentRow = count($Rows) - 1;
$Rows[$currentRow]['test'] = "this is a test";


I imagine that you are doing other actions between the above three lines? 
Correct?

Really, the simplest way of doing this is to call this over and over again.

$Rows[]['test'] = "this is a test";

it will give you the same results as array_push, but without a function call

$Rows[]['test'] = "this is a test";
$Rows[]['test'] = "this is another test";
$Rows[]['test'] = "this is even another test";

print_r($Rows);

this will show you that it does what you are doing in the above code, but 
again, the question.
What are you doing between all the lines of code that made you think that you had to do it your 
example way?  Are you using count() and doing math with it?  or something else?




Specifically I am wonder if I can avoid having to use 'count'.

TIA,

   That would be done via either a server setting (such as Apache's

   http://www.somplace.com/somePath/

   - OR -

   (with an .htaccess file holding:

   Ross,

   If you're processing through PayPal Website Payments Pro, why do
you need algorithms for credit card checking?  PayPal only charges the
fees on successful transactions, so you wouldn't pay anything if the
numbers were incorrect.

   Also, for specific help with the PayPal API, just go directly to
http://www.paypaldev.com/.  It's a forum that is run by a third-party,
but the actual people from PayPal's technical departments frequently
post in there to assist.

I am new to installing and working with php and webservers.  I am using
IIS 6.

 

I can not get php to load the ini file.

 

I have followed multiple guides including those listed on the install
pages and even went back and let the installer run, which changed
nothing.  

 

php in installed in ISAPI mode. 

 

You can see my test page here:

www.ctconline.com/test.php

 

I can post screen shots over email it that will help.  I need access to
the gd library at least for work.

 

Any help would be most appreciated.

Omg, It's my bad, sorry for lameness. 

Before the exploding text I do some encoding decodings. 

So? I do mis sequenced decodings. Thats why it does not work explode or trim, 
or str_replace even all other string functions.

Hmmm, I thought using an explicit cast was very self explanatory --
especially when the name of the cast is "array". Maybe I'm alone in that
thought. I mean if you convert a scalar to an array what do you expect
to get? An array with the scalar. *shrug* I can't see how it would be
anything else.

Cheers,
Rob.

Nothing, unless you're building a complex element. I was assuming that 
the OP had simplified their code down to the minimum required to 
illustrate the problem.

Hi,

$arrExplode = explode("'",$string);

$arrExplode contins

[array][1]
* "0"=>[string]['cInputI' style='width:146px;'>]

And not only explode for example I canot trim first "'"

Seems my eyes are to tired today. Didn't read the code very good.
But the answer still stays the same :)

$Rows = array();
array_push($Rows, array('test' => 'this is a test'));

This code looks weird...

$currenRow will be numeric. So why would you do $currentRow['test']?
Anyway if you just wanna add an element to the end of the array use array_push
