[PHP] Why does CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION require open_basedir to be turned off?
I was wondering why CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION requires open_basedir and safe_mode to be turned off. The following was found in the changelog(http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php): Disabled CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION in curl when open_basedir or safe_mode are enabled. (Stefan E., Ilia) Also I read some forum posts about security restrictions blah-blah but didn't find anything specific, unfortunately. Can anybody explain the reasons of such a strange restriction or tell what security issues raises CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION when open_basedir is set? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Why does CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION require open_basedir to be turned off?
I can't see any conceivable benefit to this restriction when using open_basedir, as I thought that related to the local file system - unless CURL can use file:// URLs to access the local system? That's the problem. I always use open_basedir (not all the sites on my servers are safe enough). And that so called security restriction just makes me fury (unless I don't see significant reasons for it). So, in order not to irritate my nervous system every time somebody asks me to unset open_basedir for CURL I decided to find the roots of that PHP developers' action. And I don't think it's related to the local file system: there is another option that restricts protocols while redirecting, CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS, which allows by default all the protocols supported by CURL, but file and scp. So this kind of restriction (do not follow file:// while redirecting) would make sense, but not disabling FOLLOWLOCATION at all. Either they had a better reason or they messed up a bit :) Still trying to find a better explanation. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RewriteRule . index.php Add an asterisk after the dot: RewriteRule .* index.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Problems with HTTPS and maybe an .htaccess???
No, adding * after the period had no affect at all. Still goes to the live site. Sorry, I misunderstood you. I'm too lazy to read all the message :) http and https may be handled by different virtual hosts. http for http://dev.sitename.com/ seems to be configured properly (Virtual host at port 80) but not https://dev.sitename.com/ (vhost at port 443). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Extract variable out of a Class - Function
I have a function within a class. There is a variable inside that
function which I need to access use outside of the class/function.
For example ...
Class Test {
function showOutput {
if ($this-url) {
$justTT = substr($this-url,-10,7);
echo $justTT;
}
}
}
I need to use $justTT. How do I get the value of $justTT into a
different variable outside of this class/function so I can use it in a
different class?
Return it?

Re: [PHP] self in inherited methods
Is it right that 'self' in inherited method still points to the parent? If it is, can you explain it? It makes me worry :) Up until 5.3 this was just the way it was. It has been fixed in 5.3. See here for more info: http://php.net/lsb Thanks. It seems that 'static' keyword (instead of 'self') is the thing I actually need. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] self in inherited methods
Is it right that 'self' in inherited method still points to the parent?
If it is, can you explain it? It makes me worry :)
A piece of code below for example
?php
class MyParent {
const NAME = 'MyParent';
public function get_instance() {
return new self;
}
public function get_another_instance() {
$class_name = get_class($this);
return new $class_name;
}
public function get_name() {
return self::NAME;
}
}
class MyClass extends MyParent {
const NAME = 'MyClass';
}
$a = new MyClass;
$b = $a-get_instance();
$c = $a-get_another_instance();
echo $a-get_name(),\n;
echo get_class($b),\n;
echo get_class($c),\n;
?
