I meant if $page evaluates to
"/home/stut/phpstuff/inc/../../../../../../../../../../../../home/evil-user-home-dir/evil-payload.php"
which it does not.
However I don't think your if (substr($page, 0, strlen($expecteddir)) !=
$expecteddir)
ever evaluates to TRUE. So you'll never get Access denied.
So how you set $page saved your ass. Good job.

Good points about (.php, evil-payload, and evil-payload.php?).
Although I'll defer to a security expert, your modification looks good to not
include a remote site's code.
But on a shared host, what about this?:
index.php?page=../../../../../../../../../../../../home/evil-user-home-dir/evil-payload.php
If that gives something like:
$expecteddir ===
"/home/stut/phpstuff/inc/../../../../../../../../../../../../home/evil-user-home-dir/evil-payload.php"
maybe it will include "/home/evil-user-home-dir/evil-payload.php"
Maybe a switch statement that only uses the file name supplied by the script
(whether or not an unknown user supplies an actual file name. I just did
something like that today. I have a custom "ls" type PHP script and I want it
to search 1 of 2 directories only. I check if the GET var is set; don't even
look at the value, then do a custom "ls" on 1 or the other directory which is
in the web path. The whole site is behind htaccess though, but I added this
layer for this special "ls" function.

while $row is valid you do stuff.
then when $row is invalid, you return it.
But maybe you knew that.
To return a "proper value"?:
while($row...[is something valid]){
$lastValidRow = $row;
...
}
$row is invalid
do something with
$lastValidRow i.e.: return it

RE: [PHP] PHP ide? Back On Topic
Do you pay for Ubuntu? Maybe a support package? Earlier this week I was pissed at Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 and their developers. And I began thinking that the major difference between open source software (free as in no $ outa my pocket) and retail closed source software is that maybe, just maybe, I have someone to complain to about their bugs in the retail case, and should just be thankful I have an ordered set of bits given to me for free in the open source case that sometimes gets the job done (not to mention sometimes getting support, community, knowledge, etc.). I tend to fall back to DW -- currently CS3, but I'm always looking around. It crashed on a paste attempt after a simple plain text copy. The DW 8 developers didn't know how to use threads (and threads were hyped in that version). They would run a thread to block my current requested action to do something locally by doing something remote (which I state again, I did not request. If you insist on doing the remote action which I didn't request, it's perfect for a thread, so please put it in the background.) I think I prefered DW MX 2004 over DW MX. 8 had a nice "fold your source wherever you want" feature though. I was interested in CS3 for the Spry, but it's weak. Back to basic hand coding with YUI, Scriptaculous, Xajax, etc. using DW basically as an editor and FTP client. Oh and Crimson Editor when I was on MS Windows for Perl files which DW couldn't deal with. I use Xcode on the Mac for Perl files now. I should also start using Xcode for PHP projects. My (perceived) problem is that I need a tool that helps me do my job well, but not so well that it looks like I can be replaced. I'm telling you that Tersus scares me [and I will not tell my employer about it LOL]. gi.tibco.com will be my next real evaluation for an IDE at work. At home I'll spend my time on Tersus. Except I'm into a project at home now that is easier if I use what I know. I just looked at Eclipse PDT (due to this topic and its posts). It looks like a text editor with possible project grouping of files. What do I gain by using it? Aptana is okay for Ajaxy javascript and html (and I think PHP). It's Eclipse again though LOL. I just don't like when I feel constrained and can't absolutely place a widget (like you can in MS Visual Basic). Netbeans Matisse (it has a new name now) can do it, but it deploys to Java. Delphi for PHP (retail product) looks good, but its MS Windows only. And although I can use a VM, I'd rather stay away from MS products. Sun Java Studio Creator can, but it's Java again. What do you want in an integrated development environment? I would expect Zend Studio to be _the_ PHP IDE, but it doesn't meet what I want in an IDE. I want to "just model" like Gentleware's Poseidon. Maybe some UML; maybe just Tersus. I want to refactor like Sun Java Studio Enterprise. I want to layout my GUI like VB, Matisse, and Apple's Interface Builder. I want to remote debug like Zend Studio. I have an extensive list I made in 2006 that would make this post even longer. So I know I'm missing some features. And I want it all for free as in beer and no $ out of my pocket (to use personally). Well, if neccessary, I'll also have the company pay for it and expect to be able to use it at home like the DW licenses.

RE: [PHP] PHP ide?
Sorry for the crap below. I think it's MS Hotmail not playing nice with Safari. Eclipse and Netbeans (now it may look like I'm pushing Java) have offerings to allow us developers to build upon -- not just apps, but tools. I think that's a good thing. "Don't reinvent the wheel" is another good practice to build upon the work of others. Where would this forum be without the web? Where would the web be without the internet? Where would the internet be without Al Gore? ;-P Where would Debian be without Linus? Where would Linus be without GNU?

My upload_max_filesize is at 5M,, post_max_size at 8M, and memory_limit is at 32M. >From the docs: post_max_size integer Sets max size of post data allowed. This setting also affects file upload. To upload large files, this value must be larger than upload_max_filesize. If memory limit is enabled by your configure script, memory_limit also affects file uploading. Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size. When an integer is used, the value is measured in bytes. You may also use shorthand notation as described in this FAQ. If the size of post data is greater than post_max_size, the $_POST and $_FILES superglobals are empty.

Or is that misguided thinking, too? 1) When you say, "doesn't happen at the same record every time" are you using the same dataset and speaking about the same line number? Or are you using different datasets and noticing that the line number varies? If it's the same dataset, it sounds like "fun" -- as in "a pain in the assets". 2) I'm writing something similar; letting a user upload a CSV file via a webpage, then creating an SQL query with many records. So now I'll be watching your thread. For debugging purposes, create your SQL statement and print it out on the webpage (or save it somewhere -- maybe a file). Don't have your webpage script execute the query. Then see if you get the complete query you expect. Then copy that query into a database tool like phpmyadmin and see if you get errors when executing the query. _ Peek-a-boo FREE Tricks & Treats for You! http://www.reallivemoms.com?ocid=TXT_TAGHM&loc=us

I was looking into proc_open and pcntl_fork as a way to have a "Manager application" handle "Worker applications" (or worker threads -- so to speak). Actually as a quick way to develop in PHP instead of C++. Some of the worker processes are actually C++ and some are PHP. Can anyone expound on these alternatives to threads? I'm assuming that neither "blocks" execution of the spawned process. Is it merely the difference between processes and threads whereas threads have less overhead?

I always go back to the manual:
http://php.net/system
Maybe that built-in echo is related to this:
"The system() call also tries to automatically flush the web server's output
buffer after each line of output if PHP is running as a server module."

I don't use lynx and I don't know what you mean by "info to the page".
I tried
lynx -dump http://www.google.com

$_FILES['userfile']['name']
The original name of the file on the client machine.
$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']
The temporary filename of the file in which the uploaded file
was stored on the server.

RE: [PHP] Looking for help with a complex algorithm
If the OP wants any single valid set, then this seems to work.
If he wants all valid sets, no joy.
I added a 10.00 and a 0.22 to the $values array and varied the position of the
10.00 (before and after 3.76) and it seems to pull the first set where the
first member in the $values array is a member of the set.
For a second there, I thought it pulled the set where the largest possible
member in the $values array is also in the set.
Maybe it meets the needs of the OP?

Re: [PHP] Spam Post Defense / ID spam form posts
Because that means messing with the recipient list - that's donkey work your client should do, hence my use of reply-to-all. Wouldn't gmail thread it but still have 2 copies? I could send email TO/CC/BCC the list to a specific folder, but I'd still get the copy to me directly in another folder. What should I train my donkey to do? I reply to all, then I only let the list address survive and make sure it is in the TO field. Attacking a server with the express intention of preventing it from working correctly is in most countries. It's the technological equivalent of getting prosecuted for assault because you defended your property from a burglar. Now I'm thinking I should inform the attacking server of the situation by shutting them down until they address the issue. It may need new laws on the books to cover my ass. But what do you think? Either a "YOU'VE BEEN PWND BY THE GUARDIANS because you are either running hijacked services for an attacker, (likely on an MS Windows flavor -- upgrade your OS to a non-MS OS), or you are the actual attacker. When you patch your security holes, THE GUARDIANS will consider your petition to re-enter the superhighway." or some such. If the HTTP_USER_AGENT hasn't been spoofed, they all seem to be Opera/9.0 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en), since I began tracking. If the server could be shutdown and reported to an authority that would re-evaluate their access to the net, it could help catch the attacker or in the least, stop attacks on other "innocents". Well, if the hijacked service is down, it will "hurt" the attacker. If the "innocent's" server is down, they could learn about the need to be a better net citizen while at the same time not providing services to the attacker. The point I was trying to make is that your first step should be to find out why he has that position, educate him as to the benefits of the CAPTCHA and the complications that any other approach might have. He holds that position because he does not want the user to have to enter any additional keystrokes or mouse clicks (or think more?) while they are becoming a sales lead.

Re: [PHP] Spam Post Defense / ID spam form posts
Not sure what you mean by "hand off the socket to multiple threads on
multiple servers". I think you're talking about detecting that a POST is
spam and passing that off to another machine to handle it.
Yes, that is what I meant. A socket is a lower level "object" that the web
server is using to communicate.
Why would you waste any more time with it than you need to.
This was my knee-jerk response that wanted to bring down the attacker's
server. I was wondering if I could spawn multiple threads and on multiple
servers to write back to that attacker socket.
Legally?
Grey area. You can put restrictions in the terms and conditions of use on
your site, but AFAIK those have never been legally tested and would be
extremely difficult and prohibitively expensive to enforce.
I'm pretty sure I read that bringing down an attacker's server (or making
the attempt) would put me in the wrong. And yes, I was thinking of adding
legal terms to the form of the type "Bogus form submissions will be {dealt
with}."
Then your boss is an idiot. Some form of CAPTCHA is the best defence
currently available.
No comment, except that pay-day is approaching.
There are alternatives such as putting a generated key into a hidden field
in the form which you also store in the session. When you get the POST you
check the key you get to make sure that request has come from the form you
just generated and not something/someone just using the field set. However,
this is not overly secure since spammers just need to get the page
containing the form each time.
I was thinking of this and came to the same conclusion.
There are projects out there ...taking part in a larger effort will
certainly be more effective than doing it on your own.
Thanks.
You might want to check out the source for Akismet which is one of the

And is a joke when it come to getting requirements. But at least I'm grooming him to take on gathering requirements while I code. How do you recommend duties be separated if we can add more staff? The US Salary post (which I did not want to hijack) listed many tasks, but how specialized can the duties be reduced? Originally my thoughts were for 2 positions to report to me: Presentation/GUI/Designer (let's say Web Designer) Web Programmer But these 2 will probably be direct reports to the "Project Manager". Even if I continue as Architect and Developer (according to Sun Java certification definitions), the Web Programming part would still be PHP, Perl, *NIX, MySQL, MSSQL, Javascript, HTML, CSS, Ajax, JSON, Security, Testing, Version Control, and possibly Java. Did I miss anything? Can I really have a PHP Programmer who doesn't do Javascript, Ajax, and JSON? (With the intent to low-ball the salaries so we can have 2 more bodies). I suppose the Web Designer can do the HTML and CSS, and the Web Programmer can just use certain CSS selectors defined by the Web Designer? I still feel like I'll be doing all the above except html and css. How should we separate the roles? And what should their salaries be?

RE: [PHP] Unexpected values in an associative array
From: Ken Tozier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi
I think this is probably just a misunderstanding on my part, but I'm
creating associative arrays with string keys from MySQL query results and
when I put a value in the array, I get the expected key association along
with an index key that has a different value.
And here's some sample output
array(6) {
["task_id"]=>
int(22)
[0]=>
string(2) "22"
["container_id"]=>
int(3784)
[1]=>
string(4) "3784"
["name"]=>
string(12) "108-6972.XTG"
[2]=>
string(24) "3130382D363937322E585447"
}
Why is that? Is there any way to fix this without coercing the same value
twice? Once for the key accessor and once for the index accessor?
Thanks In advance
Ken
What is $coersions or $inQuery['coersions']? Maybe a var_dump or a print_r
on that for the list?
What is $value and what is this supposed to do:
case'integer':
$value
+= 0;
break;
case'float':
$value
+= 0.0;
If $value is a string, you should quote your 0 and 0.0. What add 0 or 0.0
to an int or float respectively?
Do a print_r on $row before your foreach ($row as $key => $value) and echo
your $key and $value as the first line in after that for loop. Then echo
$coersions[$key]. Does $coersions[$key] have what you want for switch
($coersions[$key]) at this point? I assume you expect $coersions to contain
datatypes, but does it?
Perhaps "start at the end" considering the structure of the output array you
want, then consider how to populate it to have that structure.
What's the extra "[]" about in $rows[$groupKey][] = $fields;
Maybe that's where your duplicates are coming from although I don't see
duplicates in your output.

[PHP] Profile / Debug w/o server modification?
Are there any "magic functions" like __sleep and __wakeup that get called upon entry and exit of user functions or user object methods? Something like __hookEntry For User Functions __hookExit For User Functions __hookOoEntry For User Object Methods __hookOoExit For User Object Methods Basically I want a profiler like xdebug, but I know my admin is going to cringe since it involves adjusting the server settings. Also, I don't want it "always on". I want it only to profile when I say. http://php.net/apd seems to say it will only be in use when I use "apd_set_pprof_trace". Is "xdebug.default_enable" able to be set with ini_set per script? This site http://www.phpdeveloper.org/news/7780 made me think it will be always on, "Debugging Without doing anything you'll see the benefits of Xdebug when messages are outputted to your browser." but maybe that's just because xdebug.default_enable is On by default.

Re: [PHP] Sessions Lose Form Field Data When Back Button Used?
From: "Richard Lynch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's still browser-dependent, really, but now your browser isn't doing what YOU want for your form-filling-in-experience... I like this. I'll have to add it to my "operator error", "pass the buck" bag of tricks. There's still nothing you can do about it from PHP, unless you want to make the user who LIKES it that way have a miserable experience, since you force their browser to not behave they way they expect it. Well, the users expect the old behavior, so I need to maintain it until a redesign. In a way, my only user is the VP. Then he will tell others that this is the desired behavior LOL. You have to call session_start() on every request to have sessions working in that request... I doubt that you want to skip that for any page involved in your FORM processing... Agreed.
