Re: [PHP] Re: Secure File Paths, File System - (simplified question)
Shawn McKenzie wrote: Daniel Kolbo wrote: Shawn McKenzie wrote: Daniel Kolbo wrote: Hello PHPers, I am quite ignorant about file system security. I was hoping you all could help me understand things. How does one restrict php script from going (reading, writing) files in the file system? As I see it, a php programmer could change the include_path, with ini_set(), use ../ etc..., and browse all the files on the server to which the php engine has access. This would clearly not be acceptable to a web host company, so how do most hosts restrict this kind of behaviour? Now, suppose i only have php access to my 'files' as defined by my host somehow. (again, my first part of the question is how do they do this?). Is it possible for me to further restrict this file accessibility for different sub-folders? Let me provide an example folder hierarchy and user scenario. Suppose there are two php programmers (me and you). I want full access, but I want to restrict you to your subdomain (subdomain2). +AllUsers (me and you) +Domain1 ++Subdomain1 (me only) ++Subdomain2 (me and you) ++SharedDomain (me and you) +ServerFile1 (me only) +ServerFile2 (me only) +SecretFile (no user) Thanks for helping understand how to restrict/limit different php programmers from going into places I'd rather them not go. dK Two methods come to mind, chroot and just setting perms for specific dirs. Hello, 1) chroot I don't understand how to specify to the php engine to chroot upon different scripts being executed (scripts that i don't control). Would you please clarify? 2)perms The php engine is what has access to specific dirs (not users, scripts,). That i know of, the php engine doesn't allow per user permissions. That is, it is one engine, one set of perms. Are you suggesting i have a separate php engine for each user? 3) Maybe i can simplify this question: How does a hosting company, in a shared virtual host server environment, prevent all their clients (php programmers) from snooping into all the other clients' folders? I am assuming we are all using the same php engine, as it is a shared apache host. O.K. I read and typed too fast. In short, suexec with apache will run a user's scripts as that user so long as php is run as cgi and not the apache mod. Also, virtual hosts in apache define the docroot for a virtual host (user/domain/etc.), so other virtual hosts can't access outside of that docroot into other virtual hosts. So the perms part of my previous reply was related to suexec and chroot was out of my ass because many times you would chroot apache for extra security from the webserver in general. thx for the reply shawn.

[PHP] mobile texting app question
All, I am working on the design for an app that uses mobile phone texting to make payments, but I am having some trouble finding out how the whole mobile process works. I grow the CSC (common short code) set up and them acting as a clearing house, but can anyone point me to some docs on how the process works. From the user attempting to text a payment to my site getting the data? Its kinda off topic, other than the entire site / app will be php based. Googling doesn't get me that far, but it might be more of a not knowing exactly what its called to be able to narrow the search. Appreciate any replies. -- Bastien Cat, the other other white meat

Hi everyone, Can anyone here tell me why mysql_real_escape_string(asdasddas) returns an empty string? Just writing a data import... Anyway, for security but also simply because i might have a ' in the string, i need to escape it. Apparently it is good practice to use mysql_real_escape_string() but it simply doesn't work at all on this machine. I thought it's a rather standard function. Is it maybe my Apache server setup? But i thought the function wouldn't exist then and throw an error in the php script, but it runs through fine. Please help, we need this data import by next week hence i'm working now... I can send you details of the server setup if required. Please let me know what as there are quite a few things... It's xampp on windows xp (testing/dev machine).
