[PHP] PHP Reference
Hello all, I was wondering, can you reference php in a url string like you can javascript. EG: javascript:someFunction() Can you do something similar in php like php:someFunction() I am thinking that you can not do this, but was wondering if there was something like that. Thanks, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com

Re: [PHP] PHP Reference
Thank you Andre. Yes, I had been doing it that way, but was just wondering if PHP had a reference like that of javascript with the colin : in it.

Even if the PHP code you're executing is through localhost, because PHP needs the server to run, it has to be run on the server, and exposing functions directly like this would expose all sorts of security issues (imagine calling up a getUserDetails() on a website you're not logged into for example, which would mean every function of a system would need some sort of user auth check and would slow the whole thing to a crawl) Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

Thanks, Karl: As others have answered, no php doesn't work that way. However, you can still send/receive strings through a url via a $_GET) and direct the actions of a receiving php script and you can do the same thing via a $_POST. As such, a php:someFunction() could be a: url?php=someFunction Where the receiving script takes the command and runs someFunction(). However, I would shorten it a bit and say url?php=18 Where php would be the command to run a function and 18 would be the function you want to run. So, while you can't use the same syntax as javascript, you can get the same performance.

Re: [PHP] It's Friday (a MySQL Question)
Well you certainly can not use this without the command line, however some
hosts restrict you from the command line but still allow you to run commands
via php's exec() function (Rackspace Sites is an example of this).
pseudo code example:
exec('mysqldump [options] --all-databases ... ');
Of course this is only if your hoster supports it, and if the user has
proper mysql privileges (which I think are SELECT, LOCK TABLES, and SHOW
VIEW).
mysqldump is a great program with many options so you can dump your db just
the way you want it ;) If it's something you can and choose to use I would
suggest reading over the link I sent you so you can customize it's output.
Chris.

[PHP] PHP upload hangs on Safari
Hi, I have a page that has 9 form actions which upload individual files one at a time. On my own server, it runs fine and there are no hangs. But when I install on my clients server. I creased their upload_max_filesize to 100MB. Still I get random hanging. Is there any thing else that I should be looking at to remedy this hanging?

Are you sure it's hanging? Have you given enough time for the files to transfer over the Internet? Is it only Safari that it appears to hang with? Try using Firefox with Firebug installed to see what client-server communication is actually going on, as that might show you where any problem is. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
[PHP] Need to check pdf for xss
Hi, before I allow to upload images I read them and check for several html tags. If they exist I don't allow the upload. Is their any need to check pdf files, too? At the time I'm doing this, but the result is that many files are denied because of unallowed html tags. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Reading and checking for html tags seems rather excessive - I would rather use image extensions/pdf extensions and tools to verify that the uploaded data was in fact one or the other. If someone uploads an image and you cannot get the image dimensions from the file, for instance, then it's likely not an image.

Regards Peter So if imagick sais its an image/pdf there is no need to check for html tags? My upload class first checks the mime type with imagick. Do you know other tools? I think I can remember of a xss tutorial where the js code was included to an image. But I haven't tried it so I couldn't test the result. He used a programm to combine images with text.

Re: [PHP] Need to check pdf for xss
I'm guessing you may have been referring to something like: http://kestas.kuliukas.com/JavaScriptImage/ - this actually does seem to be a valid threat to IE6 and would go undetected by the measures proposed. Checking an image for script tags seems to the only way to check if IE6 will render it as html and whether or not it will cause problems. I don't know if the same vulnerability exists for pdfs - you'd have to check security sources for it.

If I'm not mistaken, more recent versions of the PDF spec allow for embedded javascript. If so, it might be worthwhile to check for javascript in PDFs.
