Presumably, thanks to your PHP settings, you need stripslashes() on all $_GET, $_POST, and $_COOKIE input. http://www.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.magic-quotes-gpc This does not apply to input from other sources. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Stumped - MDB2 pgsql
I need to switch from MySQL (where everything is peachy) to Postgresql - reason I need to switch is I need to use PostGIS and I don't see a need to run two databases. I got Postgresql installed (stock CentOS / RHEL 5) and installed the postgresql php module and mdb2 driver. Restarted the web server. Did a MySQL dump, ran it through a perl script, and managed to get it load into Postgresql without any apparent hickups. I can connect to postgresql and issue queries and expected results are in fact returned. Made a user called webuser (what, you expect the real name to be disclosed here ??) in postgresql and gave it a password and access to the database. Updated the data/pg_hba.conf to add the following line: localmydbname webuser 127.0.0.1 password restarted the postgresql server. I *thought* that all I would then have to do is change my mdb2 dsn to reflect the new driver to use and then find parts of my code that are not standard enough SQL - but when I try to use anything, I get - Fatal error: Call to undefined method MDB2_Error::execute() in /path/to/blah on line 63 I'm missing something here. Here's my dsn - $dsn = array( 'phptype' = 'pgsql', 'username' = 'webuser', 'password' = 'secret', 'hostspec' = 'localhost', 'database' = 'mydbname'); What am I doing wrong? I get the same error no matter what I set username/password/hostspec/database to - so I think it is a basic connection error. I'm hoping to be able to get the switch to postgresql finished soon so that I can start playing with using the PostGIS extension.

[PHP] set different .htaccess rules
Hello all, I have problem with protecting files inside of folder. So, I have one folder with files inside and the idea is to be able to see those files (format is not important) only when you are logged in system. I can't use solutions like to set some wierd name so that actually user is hardly able to guess the real path to that file, something like http://site.com/files/we23h4hk234hjksdjrjkl23jfasdf Is there some trick with .htaccess to check some php value and set different rules if some another value in php is set or not. I know that you are able to set some php values in .htaccess, but as I said, is it possible to manipulate with them inside of .htaccess.

[PHP] Recent Influx of Unrelated Discussions
Also known as off-topic posts. We're all guilty of them, but has anyone recently noticed that there is a significant number (about 35% of all traffic) that is off-topic? There have been questions on databases, JavaScript, WordPress, Apache directives, and more none of which were even related to PHP. Unfortunately, this is how dilution occurs, which often causes communities to dwindle into a defunct or otherwise low-quality state. As those of you who have been around for at least a couple of years know, we have continued to thrive here because we're not strict on the topics of discussion, and frequently [d]evolve into off-topic banter (particularly on Fridays, as it used to be). However, have you noticed the influx of extremely low-quality and/or low-class posts to the list? Couple that with the ominous silence from the formerly-frequent contributors of high-quality material, code examples, and community assistance. It is not a coincidence. This is an open list, and we don't moderate or censor any of the discussions, but before it gets out of hand, I'd like to suggest a moratorium on all off-topic posts through the end of this month --- with the exception, again, of Fridays. Which would mean that those in agreement would participate in the hiatus by not only not posting off-topic threads, but also not replying to those that are off the general topic. This isn't to say that threads can't still eventually decay into a friendly discussion, as has always been welcome, but that it shouldn't be the intent of a thread to seek assistance on topics unrelated to PHP and PHP programming in general. -- /Daniel P.

[PHP] Determining the similarity between a user supplied short piece of text (between 5 and 15 characters) and a list of similar length text items.
Hi. It seems that users cannot enter a vehicle registration 100% accurately. We have recently released a small mobile web app which allows service engineers/inspectors to enter a vehicle registration number and a pin number to get service history for the vehicle. We are getting around a 40% fail rate on the registrations for the first time of entry. This drops to around a 1.5% error rate on the second attempt. Most of the time it is simply a case of 2 letters/numbers being swapped. Sometimes a letter/number is entered for a number/letter. 0/O 1/I/l 2/Z 3/E 4/A 5/S 6/G 7/T 8/B 9/q Some of the registrations are private and don't obey any format (NOTE: Trailer registrations aren't the same as vehicle registrations - they can be anything the owner wants. In some cases we have them as straight numbers - 1, 2, 3, etc.). I'm looking for is a way to compare what they've entered against a known list and to provide my 10 best guesses. What I'm stuck on is what criteria do I use. I think something like the old style colour Mastermind game (right colour in the right place, right colour wrong place, wrong colour). But that's going to be slow. One of the contracts has over 30,000 vehicles/trailers available to them. Any suggestions really.

Thank you. _ Got a cool Hotmail story? Tell us now http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/195013117/direct/01/ A key concept to remember is that HTML is inserted into your PHP code, and not the other way around. Once I realised the difference, I found I was making the header/output mistake far less often. Anyway, to answer the question, what most apps/websites do for this is to use controller code to load in the correct HTML as necessary. The first lines of most of my apps are general include lines. One for DB, one for other config, etc. That way, I can just use the include files for doing things that need to be done for every page. Common logic for a login is to use an include file that does this: 1. Is user logged in? Yes: goto 5. No: goto 2 2. Have login details been submitted through form or other? Yes: goto 3. No: goto 4 3. Are login details correct? Yes: goto 5, No: goto 4 4. Show login form stop 5. Show/redirect to app page (apologies for the hard to follow list, but I just realised I don't know a good way to show a flowchart in plain text!) Use include files for your HTML headers, and only include them after you've done everything you need to with session_start() and header() calls. If there's content that changes in the header from page to page, put that in a variable that you use in the included file. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

I'm not sure how well it would work for things like a registration number, but metaphone keys are pretty good for detecting similar words based on phonetic sounds. If you don't get a match first time, maybe convert all the digits in the reg no. to letters, and create a metaphone key that you compare against the list of other keys in your DB that you already created in the same manner (you'll need to create these first time) Like I said, I'm not sure how well it will work, but it might possibly reduce the failure rate a bit. Also, there's the electric shock treatment. Find out which engineers are the worst typists, and... well you get the idea! Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

Use include files for your HTML headers, and only include them after you've done everything you need to with session_start() and header() calls. If there's content that changes in the header from page to page, put that in a variable that you use in the included file. +1 Let me amplify this by suggesting that you minimize the PHP code inside your HTML. Like this: 1. Load your main PHP file. Do any calculations, etc., in it. 2. At the end of that file, load in a generic HTML template file. This file would contain everything from the html tag to the /html tag. 3. Inside your template file, make a call to a view file, which is unique for this page. It should contain all the HTML code outside the actual template. In this file, make whatever PHP code limited to echoing values and loops. The values displayed, etc., are formulated in the original PHP file. That's one way to do it. Paul -- Paul M.

RE: [PHP] set different .htaccess rules
-Original Message- From: Dušan Novaković [mailto:ndu...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2010 7:46 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] set different .htaccess rules Hello all, I have problem with protecting files inside of folder. So, I have one folder with files inside and the idea is to be able to see those files (format is not important) only when you are logged in system. I can't use solutions like to set some wierd name so that actually user is hardly able to guess the real path to that file, something like http://site.com/files/we23h4hk234hjksdjrjkl23jfasdf Is there some trick with .htaccess to check some php value and set different rules if some another value in php is set or not. I know that you are able to set some php values in .htaccess, but as I said, is it possible to manipulate with them inside of .htaccess. Or if someone has some better solution, you are welcome to write it down :-) Regards, Dusan -- mob: + 46 70 044 9432 web: http://novakovicdusan.com Please consider the environment before printing this email. Dusan, You can create several components with PHP: 1) authentication, authorization and personalization 2) displaying the files in the various format and whether to permit navigating parent/sub- directories: file explorer like, filmstrip, slideshow, preview etc... Then combine the components in one index.php and drop that file in all the desired directories. This will give you enhanced customized service for each authorized user, especially if you combine it all with AJAX too.

[PHP] Weird behavior of exec()
Hi everybody. I need to use exec() to run a background php script, but it's not working properly. Take a look at this sample: a.php ? echo ' File A (1) '; exec('php b.php output.txt '); echo ' File A (2) '; ? b.php ? echo 'File B'; ? output.txt (begins with 64 null bytes before the following) File A (2) I would expect the output's content to be File B, but it's not happening. I came across this problem because I have a mailing application which stopped working after being moved to a new host. The messages were sent by a background script launched on user's demand. Like this: SendMessages.php ? ... exec('php Daemon.php -x ' . $USERID . ' /dev/null '); ... ? Now it won't work, and I got no clue about what's going on. What now?

Re: [PHP] set different .htaccess rules
i would use a single point of entry to solve this problem 1. keep the files outside your doc root 2. in the php file files.php check for an authorized user, if so allow the user to download the file the path http://site.com/files/we23h4hk234hjksdjrjkl23jfasdf will actually be http://site.com/files.php?file=we23h4hk234hjksdjrjkl23jfasdf if you hav access to httpd.conf (i am not sure if .htaccss works) u can set the non php extensions to be executed by the php interpreter and check for authorization (the way rapidshare works) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
