[PHP] PDO Changes from 5.0.x To 5.1.x

2006-03-01 Thread Chris Drozdowski
According to documentation, PDO globals constants in 5.0.3+ were  
changed to class constants in 5.1.


Does anyone have a suggestion for portability of constants between  
the 5.0.x branch and the 5.1 branch without having to rewrite code.


Besides the constants, what other differences exist in PDO for 5.0.x  
and 5.1 that may effect portability/functionality?

[PHP] Basic PDO Questions

2006-02-28 Thread Chris Drozdowski

I have a three quick PDO questions.

1) If a PDOStatement is created within a function or method, is it's  
server result set connection is automatically freed up when the  
function returns (I assume so, but want to make sure)?


2) Does setting a PDOStatement to null (PDOStatement = null)  
terminate the server result set connection (I assume so, but want to  
make sure)?


3) The documentation for PDO::quote encourages us to use prepared  
statements over the PDO::query() or PDO::exec() methods citing the  
economy and portability of prepared statements. For queries that will  
run only once, is there significantly more overhead using prepared  
statements rather than the PDO::query() or PDO::exec() methods? I  
know that that's kind of an unclear/subjective question, but I just  
don't know how to state it better.



Thanks,

Chris D

[PHP] Mail Injection- Which Mail function Parameters

2005-11-17 Thread Chris Drozdowski

Hello,

When using the mail() function to send a simple mail message, which  
specific parameters of the function need to cleaned to prevent mail  
injection?


First of all I am already validating the $to parameter to be a valid  
email address.


After reading http://securephp.damonkohler.com/index.php/ 
Email_Injection, I gather the parameters that need to be cleaned to  
prevent mail injection are the $headers and the $additional_parameters.


Is this correct?

Do I also need to clean the $subject parameter to prevent mail  
injection?


What about the $message parameter?

Thanks,

C Drozdowski

[PHP] Documenting Code Question

2005-06-12 Thread Chris Drozdowski
I need some help regarding documenting code. Say you have a 
function/method that takes an object as a parameter and/or returns an 
object.


When documenting, do you specify the specific class of the object when 
listing the datatype in the docblock @param and @return specs or do you 
simply specify object?



Thanks,

Chris Drozdowski

[PHP] The goto discussion on the Internals List

2005-06-06 Thread Chris Drozdowski
I perused the discussion about the inclusion of goto into the PHP 
language on the php.internals list.


From a PHP end-user's perspective, I would suggest that rather than 
focusing on adding new language constructs such as goto, that the 
development team put 100% focus on making what it already has as fast 
and stable as possible (and maybe iron out the Unicode issue) so that 
the corporate and hosting community will more readily accept it.


I've been begging my hosting company to upgrade to 5.0.x for months but 
they say we're going to wait until next year when it has stabilized.


That's really frustrating because I find 5.x's current features so 
compelling and useful.


Thanks,

C Drozdowski

[PHP] Deerpark (aka Firefox 1.1 alpha) URI's and PHP

2005-06-04 Thread Chris Drozdowski
Will PHP scripts that work properly with the current version (1.0.4) of 
Firefox need to be modified for the feature detailed below in Firefox 
1.1?


See:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/deerpark/new-web-dev-features.html

URIs always sent as UTF8

URIs are now always sent to the server as UTF8, regardless of the 
linking page's encoding. This fixes images and links on sites with 
non-ASCII filenames.


Thanks,

C Drozdowski
