[PHP] DOMElement - attributes and namespace
Here's my function -
private function filterAttributes($node) {
// filters the attribute names and content
$attributes = $node-attributes;
foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
// allow colon as it is used in namespace attributes -
// needs to be tested though, may require different handling??
// I should get a MathML document and try it out.
$pattern = '/[^a-z0-9:-]+/i';
$clean = strtolower(preg_replace($pattern,'',$attribute-name));
if (strcmp($clean,$attribute-name) != 0) {
$this-policyReport(Invalid Attribute Name);
}
$saniAtt[] = $clean;
if (strcmp($clean,value) != 0) {
if ($clean == src) {
$saniVal[] = $this-obfus($attribute-value,1);
} elseif ($clean == data) {
$saniVal[] = $this-obfus($attribute-value,1);
} elseif ($clean == code) {
$saniVal[] = $this-obfus($attribute-value,1);
} else {
$saniVal[] = $this-obfus($attribute-value);
}
} else {
// do not alter value attributes
$saniVal[] = $attribute-value;
}
$oldAtt[] = $attribute-name;
}
if (isset($oldAtt)) {
for ($i=0; $isizeof($oldAtt);$i++) {
$node-removeAttribute($oldAtt[$i]);
}
}
if (isset($saniAtt)) {
for ($i=0; $isizeof($saniAtt);$i++) {
$check = . $saniAtt[$i] . ;
if (substr_count($this-blacklist, $check) == 0) {
$node-setAttribute($saniAtt[$i],$saniVal[$i]);
} else {
$string = Blacklisted Event Attribute: . $saniAtt[$i];
$this-policyReport($string);
}
}
}
}
(entire class here - http://www.clfsrpm.net/xss/cspfilter_class.phps)
Here's the problem -
$attributes = $node-attributes;
creates a list that has both regular attributes and namespaced
attributes. But I don't know how to programatically tell them apart.
Here's the problem - when the attribute involves a namespace, IE xml:lang -
$node-removeAttribute($oldAtt[$i]);
doesn't remove it.
$node-setAttribute($saniAtt[$i],$saniVal[$i]);
creates a new attribute WITHOUT the namespace.
So if we have
xml:lang=something
after the function is run, the result is that there is an additional
attribute lang=filtered something
but xml:lang remains with the unfiltered attribute content.
If I knew a way to tell whether or not an attribute was namespaced I
could deal with it by using the correct $node-removeAttributeNS and
$node-setAttributeNS for those attributes, but I don't know how to tell
them apart programatically.
It seems that $attribute-name when the attribute is foo:bar will just
return bar, and I can't tell if it was originally foo:bar, xml:bar,
freak:bar, or just plain bar.
The extremely sparse documentation in the php manual on this area isn't
exactly helping me figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated.
To see the problem -
http://www.clfsrpm.net/xss/dom_script_test.php
Put
p xml:bar = javascript:something elseA Paragraph/p
into the textarea and hit submit - and you'll see what the function does
with the attribute.

Yep, that's the way to do it.
Or you may do it this way.
$fields = array('name','colour','size','status');
foreach ($_POST as $name = $value) {
if (empty($value)) continue;
if (!in_array($name, $fields, TRUE)) continue;
$where[] = $name . '=' . $db-quote($value);
}
which is more compact and useful when you have 100 different optional fields.
As long as your form field names are the same as your database field
names. Also as long as you don't need to post process the submitted
values in any way :)

First point: You asked two questions that implied you were a client seeking advice on how to deal with a programmer. I answered your questions from that perspective (and did a good job of it). Then you come back with additional information, which you should have provided in your original question. And finally said you really didn't need the information I provided, which leads me to believe that you didn't read it either. All of which illustrates the main point of my answer, which was basically to *fully* communicate what you want to the programmer. In other words, don't do what you just did! Second point: Where in all of this exchange did I insult you? All I did was to identify that you don't know how to ask questions so next time I'll pass on answering yours. That's not an insult, that's a choice. You say that I should spent time reading about relaxation politness (sic) -- what the hell is that? (Rhetorical question) That sounds like the typical fluff from the political correctness crowd. Usually when they're intellectually cornered they resort to Let's don't discuss your point because you hurt my feelings nonsense.

I read your original question and I thought This guy shoulda started asking these questions before her started hiring people. Tedd invested time, thought and energy in to giving you a quality response. I don't have the kind of field experience to give you an answer of that caliber. I personally felt that I benefited from reading Tedd's response to you, so it shouldn't have been too difficult for you to gain from it. After that, you announced yourself the owner. It may have escaped your scrutiny, but the kind people that hang out here trying to assist people with their PHP challenges are *NOT* here to do your job for you. That, in my opinion, is what you asked. I've started a business and hired a programmer. Now somebody please explain to me how to be his boss, otherwise it is going to be a difficult week. Then you deal a really uninventive insult (my questions in reading about relaxation politness.) to a guy who has shown vast amounts of patience and politeness to both, you, and the other's that he has helped -- if you've been watching. Then you wrap it up with the decree No matter what type disagreement happend between any two, that does not give any one of them the right to insult the other. which is particularly rubbish following the sentence where you insulted Tedd. Also, you will find that people do, in fact, have the right to insult each other with, or without, disagreement. This is something that you'll observe quite readily by hanging out on the PHP list.

[PHP] Frameworks Which Have A Bake Function?
Hi Guys, I have been using cakephp for a while as a development framework. I'm also thinking for a while to use another framework and leave cakephp alone (too much babbling.. it takes too much time until you get to the code itself..), now I have decided to move on and here comes my question. Do you have any suggestions on frameworks which have something similar to the cakephp's bake function? (you create your database tables structure, run bake.php from ssh and kaboom! you have model/view/controller for each of the tables: insert, delete, modify, list data).

[PHP] MYSQL TABLES (One To Many Relationship)
Hi guys,
I need help on something I'm working on and its really eating me up so I'll
appreciate any help I can get on it.
I'm writing code for a site that posts a topic for discussion and accepts
comments (Just like a parliament).
There are different discussions for every day and the comments should be
displayed along with the corresponding topics per day.
Now I wrote the code below but dont know if I'm right. (I created two tables in
my database and to create a relationship between the tables, I put the id field
for the topics into the comments table):
?php
function getpost_comments()
{
global $conn; //This gets the database started (already defined)
$result= mysql_query(SELECT * FROM Pcomments, Parliaments WHERE
Pcomments.pcomment_id=Parliaments.parliament_id);
if (!$result) print mysql_error();
else {
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
print $row[name] - $row[comment]br/\n;
}
}
}
?
I know some of you will probably think its a stupid question but I'm going with
the school of thought that says the only stupid question is the one that's not
asked.
Thanks in anticipation of your positive responses.

Hi Alugo: I wrote a similar thing for my site, see here: http://sperling.com As you can see, on most pages people can add comment. Considering such, the most important part I found was designing the tables for the database. I used two tables, which follow showing fields: COMMENTS table Fields id -- auto-increment id for comments post_time -- time of this post poster_id -- the id from the POSTERS table page -- the page the poster commented on comment -- the actual comment made by the poster notify_me -- an option for the poster to select IF they want to be notified of additional posts approved -- option for me to use if I want the post to be displayed POSTERS table Fields id -- auto-increment id for posters time -- time of first post (i.e., registration) poster -- name of poster email -- email of poster (after confirmation of email address) ip -- ip of poster (taken from post) web_site -- web site of poster (if given) banned -- option for me to use if I want to ban this poster So as you can see, this is one table for posters and each poster can post many comments (i.e., a one to many relationship). Each time a post is made, the posting method checks the database for poster approval. Either the poster is approved, banned, or yet to be registered -- each path is followed accordingly. Note as each page is loaded the comments are pulled from the database and shown, or not, depending upon if the poster is approved OR if I have overridden the post. This allows me to ban the post, but not the poster. But in most cases, if the poster post something that I don't like, then the poster is also banned.

(3) Generate a task by choosing a database table and a Transaction Pattern (see http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/dialog-types.html).

Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2009 09:43:25 -0700 On Mar 21, 2009, at 3:47 AM, Linda Stark wrote: $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ; $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ; mail( h...@mydomain.com, Feedback Form Results, $message, From: $email ); header( Location: http://www.mydomain.com/thankyou.html; ); ? The email is received, but with a blank return email address and an empty message. None of the comments or form values get through - just a blank email sent to my address. Can anyone point me in the right direction – what am I doing wrong? The PHP code above is only looking for values named email and message. Your new form has values with many more different names. So you'll need to update your code in incorporate them. For example, one of your new forms values is emailAddress, so your php code will need something like: $email_address = $REQUEST['emailAddress']; A second problem is that the code above is only sending back the contents of message. But you will need to send back more. So you may want to create a variable called $contents, which includes all the new fields on your longer form. Something like: $content = Message: $message ; $content .= Email: $emailAddress ; Then update: mail( h...@mydomain.com, Feedback Form Results, $message, From: $email ); with: mail( h...@mydomain.com, Feedback Form Results, $content, From: $email ); But keep in mind, this is a very simple form, and does not account for many security measures and corrections. This will only mail you whatever the person initially inputs. It does not check for things like whether an email address was entered and it is wide open for spam. If you are doing the form yourself in order to study PHP, you may want to do some google searches on creating a secure web form. If you are building the form in order to get a quick working form, you may want to look into using a pre-made script with more advanced functionality. Thanks so much for all your helpful advice yesterday and today, I read every response and I'm working on the script with your suggestions. Actually I bought a couple of php books too. Actually DG, I'm glad you brought up the security issue, because yesterday I researched some pre made mail form scripts, I was wondering what you guys thought about the PHPMailer-FE from http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/index.php?pg=phpmailerfe I'm think for now I should use a pre made and secure script while I learn php and then maybe some time in the future I'll write my own when I feel Confident. The site claims it is a secure and regularly updated script, do you guys agree? Apparently in 2007 there was a security vulnerability in the script and they went a long time without patching it… Another point - I bought the book – “The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP” by Powers and in it the author claims that if you want to accept html mail, use this script, but he does not recommend it because when browsers are configured to not accept html mail there should also be a text alternative anyway. He goes through a good tutorial on how to create a form mail script for text only and includes the code snippets and claims it is a secure script. What do you think would be better? Use his code from his book? Or use PHPMailer-FE? Or would you recommend a different script than that that accepts only non html mail? I was also looking at the forms-to-go code generator which is a drag and drop application which you can drop your form into and it creates your php – does that application write secure code, or am I better off staying away from it and going with a well written secure script? I don't really care about file and photo uploads right now, as long as I can get a basic email via the web form that’s all I need for now... _ Express your personality in color!

What a banal way to end an email, eh? What are your thoughts in regard to these two forces: wiz-bang frameworks vs. raw php development? thanks, Well, to your point and the OPs point, I use CakePHP, which for some reason the OP wants to get away from. In my opinion cake doesn't try to do all things or be all things to all people. Just like any framework or class/function library, if you're going to use it you have to learn it. For me, Cake is RAD I'm not a DB guy by trade, but have gotten myself into thinking of the DB after the site/app functionality. Then I whip up a DB schema, bake and I have a strawman working app. Then I start coding the real functionality. I tested qcodo briefly and it seemed very cool, cake but lighter and primarily using AJAX. I still like it, but it was way too light for me at the time, i.e. no classes to do the mundane stuff, which some call bloat. I'm not really a Zend fan (because I'm a hobby programmer and not die-hard OOP/pattern guy), but have been seeing the different code generation/app layout/ORM maybe generation plans in the Zend_Tool piece. FWIW, the only mature frameworks that I've seen are CakePHP, Symphony, and maybe 1 or 2 that I can't remember. Symphony for me at least is way too config heavy, Zend is PEAR, just a class libray but with stricter standards, and some of the others have promise but lack functionality or don't have a strong developer/community base.

RE: [PHP] Frameworks / obstinate?
My personal take on this goes something like this: I'm not a huge fan of re-inventing the wheel. However, it seems that since the first stable release of PHP 5 into the wild a much needed emphasis has been placed on OOP solutions within the PHP world. Don't read me wrong, I know the importance wasn't lost on folks who already had a good programming head on their shoulders, yet, in all fairness our hands were a bit tied (and I feel that I may receive some argument here) until PHP 5 reached its first stable release. That being said, I find that quite a few of the frameworks still seem to be fledglings and a lot of the new OS projects being built on them are like wheels with some lumps. Even a few commercial projects seem to be like this. I also have a positive outlook with PHP5 and 6 and that is that this language is finally reaching maturity. It is something that I believe and hope allow for continued growth of our new projects without feeling the need to dump them like I saw with the PHP4 projects. On a final rambling note, I like some of the new frameworks I've looked into recently, like CodeIgniter, Yii even Sapphire holds some promise (have a look at the cleaner version in progress). I find myself wanting to add to them, wanting to help improve them and occasionally I too have a fleeting moment where I think How would my framework be different if I built one from scratch? Then I realize I don't have that kind of time! lol My clients are waiting. Also, I don't seem to have much trouble switching between frameworks or languages for that matter (PERL, PHP, ASP(bleh), JavaScript, ActionScript) and I guess because of that I find myself just trying to find the best solution for the clients need at hand and build from there. -Original Message- From: Daniel Kolbo [mailto:kolb0...@umn.edu] Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2009 4:54 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Cc: Tony Marston Subject: [PHP] Frameworks / obstinate?

[PHP] Re: [SOLVED] How do you use php-gettext?
There are two example coming with php-gettext package.
However, it is realy easy since you have to use only:
print T_gettext(Hello World);
or
print sprintf(T_ngettext(%i Developer,
%i Developers, ${COUNT}), $COUNT);
Run the command
xgettext -k T_gettext -k T_ -L PHP -o script.pot script.php
and then you have the Translation Template.
Copy it to your desired language like
cp script.pot script.po
and translate the msgstr. Not call the command
msgfmt -o script.mo script.po
and copy the file script.mo to your desired locale directory with e.g.
cp script.mo /var/www/locale/de/LC_messages/
and then setup your script.php to use
[ 'script.php' ]
?php
define(PROJECT_DIR, realpath('/var/www'));
define(LOCALE_DIR, PROJECT_DIR .'/locale');
define(DEFAULT_LOCALE, 'en_US');
require_once('/usr/share/php/php-gettext/gettext.inc');
$supported_locales = array('de_DE', 'de', 'en_US', 'en');
$encoding = 'UTF-8';
$locale = (isset($_GET['lang']))? $_GET['lang'] : DEFAULT_LOCALE;
T_setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, $locale);
$domain = 'script';
bindtextdomain($domain, LOCALE_DIR);
bind_textdomain_codeset($domain, $encoding);
textdomain($domain);
print T_gettext(The rest of your script);

[quote]I find myself just trying to find the best solution for the clients need at hand and build from there.[/quote] Certainly the above is the mainstream/business approach. After all, they (businesses) need solutions today and not tomorrow. However, this is the culture that only serves to exemplify my point. All of these one-click-solutions are for today, who is looking out for tomorrow? Who is doing the long term planning? Instead of our snake oil salesmen, who is selling long term stability/flexibility. Is it even possible to make money when thinking about the long term.

Re: [PHP] need help with code
Code without proper indentation and is very hard to comprehend. You have
unnecessary spacing and line breaks that makes it difficult to debug.
I suggest you few things as a good practice:
1) Until you learn perfectly to code use some nice GUI editors that have
syntax highlighting (aptana, eclipse, zend etc).
2) Don't try to mix up markup (html) and api calls(PHP Code). Believe it
become a horrible mess to maintain after some point.
Anyways Here is your code with parse error removed:
?php
require_once('twitterlib.php');
$consumerKey=yVVRd1QCJYBtT8tT7ocg;
$consumerSecret=DHzhJYOP2hBWfHpHawGxRQEFf98nF4TBTfabel2ukE;
$accessToken = $_COOKIE['accessToken'];
$reqToken = $_COOKIE['reqToken'];
if($accessToken===NULL){
if ($reqToken === NULL){
//get a req token
$to = new TwitterOAuth($consumerKey, $consumerSecret);
$tok = $to-getRequestToken();
$reqToken = $tok['oauth_token'];
$reqTokenSecret = $tok['oauth_token_secret'];
$request_link = $to-getAuthorizeURL($toc);
$content = 'Click on the link to go to twitter to authorize your
account.';
$content .= 'br /a href='.$request_link.''.$request_link.'/a';
setCookie('reqToken',$reqToken,time()+(24*30*60*60),'/');
setCookie('reqTokenSecret',$reqTokenSecret,time()+(24*30*60*60),'/');

}else{
/* If the access tokens are already set skip to the API call */
if ($_COOKIE['accessToken']===NULL){
/* Create TwitterOAuth object with app key/secret and token key/secret

$to = new
TwitterOAuth($consumerKey,$consumerSecret,$_COOKIE['reqToken'],$_COOKIE['reqTokenSecret']);
/* Request access tokens from twitter */
$tok = $to-getAccessToken();
/* Save the access tokens. Normally these would be saved in a database
for future use.*/
setCookie('accessToken',$tok['oauth_token'],time()*24*60*60*30+3600,'/');
