Hey again,

First of all please note that i added a [0.T]  (= off topic ) to the subject so 
if you dont want to continue with something OT, now's the time...

Ok... for anyone thats curious as to why i wanted this.. just completed my 
version of tinyURL... except, its even more tiny!! Have christened it ezeeURL 
:) if anyone wants to take it for a test spin (as its not officially "open" 
yet) feel free to check it out here:

http://ezee.se/a.html

Thought i would do something with my small domain name... and this worked out 
pretty good, for example:

http://tinyurl.com/
http://ezee.se/  <-- Size does matter!

cant beat tiny if you even have MICROurl coz "tiny" is smaller :p
but ezee does beat tiny plus .se is smaller than .com... now if only it could 
beat it in traffic!

Cheers!
R

Re: [PHP] Re: Search like php.net's URL thingy

Why is an ErrorDocument "insufficient" or "not the elegant way"?
It accomplishes the goal in a clean way, no?

Re: [PHP] Re: Search like php.net's URL thingy

As far as I remember, errordocument still send the code, in this case 
404 to the client.  In the case of IE, this will display IEs built-in 
error doc if the server supplied one is < 512 Bytes.  Maybe other 
implications for spiders also.  I might be wrong, but this is from some 
old memory.

Correction for my statement:
As long as the content length is greater than 512 bytes, IE will display the
content from the 404. Less than that and it will display it's own pretty
message.

   If you use .htaccess and have mod_rewrite then it is
simpler.
Something like this (untested):

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?term=$1 [L]

   Then in index.php you can use the contents of
$_GET['term'],
   which in your example would be asdf.

   [QSA,L] will give you the query string if the user typed in
   something like http://www.mysite.com/asdf?your=mom.

   Then $_GET['your'] = 'mom'.

Not true, Apache does return a 404, but IE will use the custom 404 page if

[PHP] fsockopen Fread and fget issue

2008-06-05 Thread Ross King II

When I do the following it grabs the response (And using a packet sniffer I
can see the server responds quick). If I only call fread  one time it will
read and return the page to the server. If I read a second batch after the
eof it hangs for 30 seconds.

 

 

All I want to do is send a raw POST and get the response that can be up to
500K or as little as 450 bytes of XML.

If you use .htaccess and have mod_rewrite then it is simpler. Something
like this (untested):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?term=$1 [L]

Then in index.php you can use the contents of $_GET['term'], which in
your example would be asdf.

[QSA,L] will give you the query string if the user typed in something
like http://www.mysite.com/asdf?your=mom.

Then $_GET['your'] = 'mom'.

Digging a bit more i found

Subject: Re: [PHP] Search like php.net's URL thingy

you should familiarize yourself with the rewrite module of the apache server 
(if u operate on that one)

it's pretty much the same as regular expressions syntax

example:

i want all requests going to www.example.com/test being forwarded to 
index.php?a=test

place following into your .htaccess file in the root directory:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z])$ index.php?a=$1

the whole thing can get pretty complex with alot of rewrite conditions and 
stuff.

good luck

You're on the right track, Ryan.

Look up mod_rewrite for Apache, and also consider that php.net
uses operations similar to (though not exactlt like) the following
procedure:

#.htaccess
Redirect /ciel http://php.net/manual/en/function.ceil.php

[PHP] Updating inherited attributes without __construct()

2008-06-05 Thread Tyson Vanover

I have a class that has a list of valid keys, and an 
array of values.  When a value is added to the array 
it's key is first checked against the list of valid 
keys (this is to prevent injection issues we have been 
having later on in the project).


  class parent{
private $validkeys = 'title,color,name';
private $values = array();
  }
That class is inherited by other classes that mostly 
just have an expanded list of valid keys.  I would like 
to be able to update the valid key list without having 
to craft a constructor for child objects.  I would 
rather not give each child class the constructor,


  __construct()
  {
$this->validkeys.= ',setting,...';
parent::__construct();
  }

since most child classes have no need of a unique 
constructor.


I thought of defining a protected extended valid keys 
variable in the parent that the child could set that 
the parent constructor would combine with the valid keys.


class parent{
  private $validkeys = 'title,color,name';
  private $values = array();
  protected $extendedkeys;
  __construct(){
$this->validkeys .= $this->extendedkeys;
  }
}

But the children may become parents for further child 
classes.  And if the sub-child classes use the 
$extendedkeys variable it will overwrite the 
intermediate class's version.


Is there any way to tack on extra additional data by 
the child classes without creating a constructor.  I am 
not wedded to strings as a means, it just needs to be 
able to hold a string value.


Thanks

Try using create_function().

Note the manner in which the second parameter is laid-out.  You
must include what you want returned by the dynamic function, complete
with an ending semicolon.

mysql has its own caching support, worth looking into.  you can also cache
query results on the webserver.  there you have a variety of mediums to save
the queries in, files (session perhaps), apc, memcache, etc..

typically, reverse proxies are used for this purpose.  squid is very
popular, also, in apache 2.2 mod_proxy + mod_cache is looking pretty sweet
;)

Any kind of code explaining the process would be highly appreciated...

the only place in here you would need any php code would be caching sql
queries on the webserver.  its not too difficult really (but there is a
large gradient of complexity), here is a super trivial example,

$query = 'some sql';
if(in_cache($query))
  return fetch_from_cache($query);
else {
  $resultSet = mysql_query($query);
  store_in_cache($query, $resultSet);
  return $resultSet;

You're right... I should have posted a link to information regarding SQL 
Injection rather than just speaking of it like the Boogey Man. On that note, 
I've tracked down an article I read some time ago that still holds quite a bit 
of water on the topic:

http://www.unixwiz.net/techtips/sql-injection.html

Hope that helps the OP (and anyone else curious about SQL Injection 
techniques/preventative measures).

I never said the security related suggestion was irrelevant nor was it 
squashed, but I DID feel it as a "DUH" statement due to the number of things 
posted on this list (stick around for a while) that are about securing the code 
or servers on the back end.

I for one am against short-open tags, but have seen people being taught to use 
them as shortcuts.  I've cleaned up other code that used the short-open in 
conjunction with other 'shortcuts' to save some typing but died when put onto a 
hardened server.

I'm all for securing your PHP stuff, but at the same time, post some relevant 
PHP code for whatever security measuring you are saying to use, or point to a 
good reference for it.  

Speaking of which, I need to update my links on some of that stuff myself and 
then post them to the hardened server I run.  Every environment you run into is 
different, whether it be as you pointed out that people say "secure your code" 
and then continue with their example of a form.  People expect that the one 
using the knowledge are responsible for their own code on their own servers.  
Due-diligence is expected by the older generation as that is what the teachings 
were growing up.  No silver spoons, no temper tantrums when something didn't go 
there way.  They investigated and fixed.  

Ultimately you are responsible for what you code.  Nobody else.  When I post 
code, I expect people to secure it down, using their own protocols.  I don't 
remind everyone to do it and some have even suggested that the code I have 
posted to the list can be easily exploited.  But then, I haven't posted my 
security checks or other tweaks either.  ;)

Warning: Getting a tad bit off-topic here...

I have read through (some of) the archives, and I have scanned the "join the 
list" page. I am not some mailing-list-autistic user who jumps from forum to 
forum and steals the thunder of the list's regulars. However, I have noticed 
that security is often left unattended with regard to coding examples, 
suggestions, and the like. In one of my database systems classes, the professor 
didn't even explain the steps one would take to encrypt a password so that it 
isn't tossed around as plain text.

I don't see the point in replying to someone's question with a solution that is 
completely open to vulnerabilities (and not touching on the fact that it is 
vulnerable). I don't mean buffer overflows and the like, but suggesting that a 
user create a PHP script that accepts almost-literally anything as input and is 
translated directly to SQL baffles me. Why not just suggest that a user 
eliminate passwords to simplify their login code?

If security concerns are never mentioned, then mobs of coders come to the front 
lines ill-prepared to deal with security. This is one of the reasons that SQL 
Injection (which is INCREDIBLY easy to safeguard against) is such a rampant 
occurrence on the web nowadays.

Tutorials explain forms without even a casual mention of HTTP Splitting. 
Programmers suggest code for Javascript data sanitizing without alluding to the 
fact that server-side sanitization must also be performed in order for it to 
truly matter. Et cetera...

I understand that code submitted to this list should be taken with a grain of 
salt, and your own best practices should be applied before the code is run in a 
production environment, but... jeez, dude. Calm down. PHP is predominantly a 
language for programming web applications. Web (or even just networked) 
applications require security above and beyond that of local applications, and 
I don't see the harm in my suggesting to the OP that he take a different 
route... or at least take steps to secure the method in question.

If secondary or tertiary posts to answer a user's question containing security 
tips are not welcome, then I will desist; but it seems counterproductive to the 
programming community as a whole to leave these topics undisturbed. Yes, as you 
said, the user is responsible for the security of their own code. They are also 
responsible for their own code itself--which you have given suggestions as to 
the nature of. I am merely giving suggestions as to the nature of the security 
of that code.

I don't feel that this is violating any guidelines for this mailing list (or 
any programming-related mailing list, for that matter, without a specific 
"security" counterpart), and so your "DUH" was taken as offensive and 
unprovoked. If this was not the case, well, then let's let bygones be bygone. 
In fact, I don't care about that either way--but I do care that my 
security-related suggestion was squashed as being irrelevant to the list.

[PHP] Caching and Optimization

2008-06-05 Thread VamVan

Hello All,

Today my question is about the all important topic "Web Optimization"

What kind of caching mechanisms can I use for Mysql Queries? I was wondering
if you have some methods would you share some code?

What kind of caching and optimization mechanisms can I use for frequent Web
Service calls?

Any kind of code explaining the process would be highly appreciated...

Thanks

If you read through the archives, this same type of thing comes up about every 
other month.  That and the "I want to know how to do this" where there is no 
PHP involved and/or no PHP code posted that is actually being used (such as how 
come I'm getting an empty variable from a strtolower call).

So, a bit of a nerve if you read the FAQs and such attached to the join the 
list page (at least last I looked), it talked about these same things.  

If you take code from the list and don't test it and put in your own security 
practices, you are asking for exploitation as this list is rife with spammers 
and such.  So when someone gives a brief "do something along these lines" in 
some bit of code, it's normally a fore-gone conclusion that it's expected the 
one using it to be responsible for their own coding and security of their code.

There is actually no PHP involved beyond your AJAX response page, and
that is basic at most. What you will need to do if you want to
*continually* update your status is to use the javascript
"setInterval()" or "setTimeout()" method(s).

I recommend setInterval(), as it repeats itself at the specified time
interval. The function passed to setTimeout() would need to set a new
timeout every time it was executed.

Hope this helps.

From a security standpoint, this is wde open for SQL injection. I would 
recommend against using something like this for performing SQL queries, as 
malicious SQL would be easy as pie to execute. Of course, you can place the 
script behind layers of security... but ad-hoc queries are a dangerous beast.

Ajax or iframe-rpc would work, yes.  Continually poll your database and
set the display attribute accordingly.

Use AJAX and change the visible section, if you want something that 
continually updates and stores it, what you need to do is something 
along the lines of having the text box name clickable, and if they 
choose to enter something in it, then toggle it in the DB, show it on 
the form, then take their information from it.


PHP has nothing to do with it.

This sounds too obvious, so I've probably misunderstood your question -
but surely it is just a matter of toggling the CSS 'display' attribute?

[PHP] Dynamic form changes without refresh

2008-06-05 Thread Mayer, Jonathan

Hiya all,

I have a PHP page with a form holding a large number of textarea boxes.

These text boxes are individually set as enabled or disabled based on a flag
held in a MySQL database.

I want to be able to dynamically enable or disable a specific box without
the page being recalled (potentially loosing the parameters passed, and
having to rebuild a large complex table).

Using some basic javascript/AJAX, I have set up a link next to each text
box, which calls code that updates the database in the background without
refreshing the page. If I manually refresh the page, the textarea box in
question updates correctly, proving that the database update has worked.
However, I cannot work out how to get the textarea boxes to toggle the
disable on/off "on the fly". I assume they would need to continually check
the database and adjust as required.

I realise there may not be too much PHP involved here, but I was wondering
whether anyone could assist or point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Jon.

Re: [PHP] A problem with fgets()

2008-06-05 Thread Usamah M. Ali

Well, finally found an explanation and a solution: calling fgets()
twice. Because if there's no length limit supplied (and it's not EOF)
when calling the function, it continues reading until it finds the
first newline character. So calling fgets() again will ensure that it
will read from the _beginning_ of the *next* line:



To clarify more, if the first call to fgets() reads the line
containing the city name 'Alexandria', it might be read as:
andria

Now calling fgets() again will definitely read the whole next line:
Dallas

The mail function will succeed if it completes it's task, which on  
unix-based systems is simply to pass the message on to sendmail. So,  
in your case I'd say sendmail is accepting the message so mail is  
quite correct in thinking it succeeded.

Won't work either. :)

This should work fine:
if (preg_match('|\s+|i', $string) === 0)
{
echo '$string does not contain white spaces!';
}
elseif preg_match('/\s+/i', $string)
{
echo 'One or more white spaces found!';
}
else
{
echo 'An error has occurred!';
}

According to your needs, it could be simply shortened to the first if:
if (preg_match('/\s+/i', $string) === 0)
{
echo 'No white spaces';
}

Hope that works well.

Usamah

Won't work either. The problem lies in using the === comparison
operator. preg_match() returns 0 if no match is found, and FALSE if an
error occurred. So using === will always echo 'No spaces' whether
there were spaces or not, provided that no error has occurred.

if (!preg_match('/\s+/i', $string))
{
echo 'No spaces';
}

should suffice.

Do you mean tunnelling in the classic sense, e.g. have a webpage that

Or do you just mean a generic interact to mysql written in PHP?

If the former, I don't know. If the latter PHPMyAdmin is your friend.
