[PHP] URGENT! Need help with command line for list all new/modified files within the last 24 hours
Hi to all, My site with Drupal 7. I contacted tech support and he said he accessed to the site with FTP - what I doubt. But if it's truth - it's even worse because whole server is then compromised. I need help with command line for list all new/modified files within the last 24 hours.

Remove all compromised files: sudo rm -rf / Really you should move to a new server. Dump the database and upload code from your local copy.

[PHP] OT (maybe not): Drupal vs WordPress
Hi to everyone, I was trying to figure this out for the last week or two. I have read tons of articles that compare Drupal and WordPress, but I still wasn't swayed to either side. I know that they are both good, both do the job well, and both have advantages and disadvantages. For example, Drupal has a steeper learning curve, but you get more control over the website. Most of Drupal vs WordPress articles are emotionally driven and it reminds me of the PC vs Apple flame war. I was trying to exclude these as much as I could but it's hard. Is there any website/article/benchmark/test/experiment/whatever I can trust to be unbiased? I need a website that measures the CMS' through facts, not heated, emotional arguments. In which cases is it better to use Drupal over WordPress (and vice-versa)? I know the first two words are going to be it depends, but let's talk about it in general (for small basic websites, more complex websites, easy customization, etc). I found this on one page: ... Drupal was built as a fine-grained multi-role system where you can assign different permissions to different roles to do different things (e.g. content editor, content reviewer, member, etc.) and assign users to these roles... Does that mean that WordPress can't do that? Maybe it can, and the quotation is true, but it is kind of misleading to say that one of the programs does something, and then not mention the other product at all. Special points for me are (not a must, though) - multiple websites with single core (both CMSs have the capability but I got impression Drupal does it better?) because of maintenance - compatibility with CiviCRM Once I decide what to use, I have to stick with it for a while.

[PHP] How to insert a file in a class?
Hi to all.
Let's say there is a class
class Box
{
var $box_title;
var $box_content;
function __construct()
{
$this-box = '';
}
function box_title($title)
{
$this-title = $title;
}
function box_content($content)
{
$this-content = $content;
}
function make_box()
{
$this-box = 'h3'.$this-box_title.'/h3'.$this-box_content;
}
function get_box()
{
return $this-box;
}
}
$box = new Box();
$box-box_title('PHP Classes');
$box-box_content('Starting with PHP 5, the object model was rewritten
to allow for better performance and more features. This was a major
change from PHP 4. PHP 5 has a full object model.')
$box-make_box();
echo $box-get_box();
This works fine.
The problem I have is how to include a file as box_content? it could
be plain text, but it could be a form or some kind of code.
$box-box_include(include(/path/to/file/file.php)) doesn't work, of
course.
Wrapping up the whole code in a variable doesn't make a sense too:
# file.php
$content = '
form method=post action=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
Email = input type=text name=email
Pass = input type=password name=pass
input type=submit value=Submit
/form';
# main.php
$box = new Box();
$box-box_title('PHP Classes');
include(file.php);
$box-box_content($content);
$box-make_box();
echo $box-get_box();
Also, I'm sure I read once it's not correct to print directly from a
class. First return a value/result to main code and then print.
Correct?

Couldn't you just do something like:
function box_content($file = NULL)
{
$content = file_exists($file) ? include($file) : NULL;
$this-content = $content;
}
It really depends what is being included (text, HTML, PHP etc).
Personally I would create a different method for each different type
as they will have to be treated and returned differently.
Gibbs
No. It doesn't work.
And yes, the content of the box could be anything.

[PHP] Keeping session info in $_SESSION or in database?
Hi all, This is THE question that bothers me for a while... I always was keeping session info, like user ID, organization ID, selected book ID... within $_SESSION array. Main reason is to access and maintain it faster than keeping them inside session table. And, also, one less mysql connection. Though, in last project the $_SESSION grow up to around 30, even 50 elements of the array. And several people mentioned it's better to keep so big session data in mysql than in $_SESSION. My question is pros and cons $_SESSION vs. mysql session. And, if the amount of data is only reason, when is better to keep all data in $_SESSION and when to store them in mysql?

And, if the amount of data is only reason, when is better to keep all data in $_SESSION and when to store them in mysql? Thanks for any help, LAMP Hi all. Long time no see. I personally think 30-50 elements in an array is not a lot of data (unless you're storing hundreds of megs of data per element). You really have to weigh the pros and cons of using file-based session storage versus database session storage. With a quick google search, this article by Chris Shiftlett came up: http://shiflett.org/articles/storing-sessions-in-a-database . Specially look at the background section. It goes over a couple reasons to use a database. While this list is not exhaustive by any means, it should get you thinking. If the biggest reason for wanting to use a database over the file system is because of the space, then you may want to reconsider In file-based session storage, the session data is saved in a particular location (as specified in php.ini). So, if you have 10MB of data, this will be will stored in a file slightly larger than 10MB because I believe the data is serialized in some form. This file is accessed upon page load and is written to for the next page request. File I/O is generally pretty fast... generally much faster than database I/O. In the database storage, you must run queries to pull the data necessary. This requires a connection plus the time to query plus the time to organize the data. If you have 10MB of data, then you still have to pull all of that from the database, so I don't believe you're getting any speed advantage. If you're application is running on multiple servers, then you'd want to consider the database storage. IMO, only use the database (for session storage) if it solves a problem that can be easily fixed otherwise by using file- based session storage. Hope that helps, ~Philip -- http://lonestarlightandsound.com/ I apologize for posting not-complete data :-) The size of the data is, I believe, small. 1-2 words per array element or number. No image or something like that is stored in $_SESSION. I believe no more than few Kb. My concern is not only speed, than handling (as you said time to query plus the time to organize the data...),as well as security. I read Shiflett's article but it dates from 2004 and I believe some stuff are changed too :-) As I said, I prefer working with $_SESSION instead storing data into session table, but always wondered is that correct approach. Thanks, LAMP

[PHP] corect way to use mail() function
Hi, The company I work for, hosts online events registration applications. After a registered registered himself for an event he will get a confirmation email saying he registered successfully. Currently, in the header part of the mail(), in From it says e.g. ord...@computility.com - because the email comes from us not from our client (e.g. ABC Assoc.). Reply-to goes to us too. Now one of our clients (e.g. ABC Assoc.) asks us to put in the from field their email, to looks like the email comes from them. something like: From: ABC Assoc. eve...@abcaccos.org; I refused to do that concerned we are going to be blacklisted for sending spam. Because header shows one place and From field says other email address - spam way of sending emails. Am I right or it really doesn't matter who sent the email? LL

The DoS is either coming from script kiddies dumb enough to do it from their own IP, or its coming from a bot-net comprised of computers who's owners are morons and don't keep their computer secure. Either way, do a WHOIS, reverse DNS query, and traceroute on the IPs. You should be able to find the ISPs of the attacking systems. Email the ISP tech department with your info and let them take care of the offending systems. In my case, on the beginning was 20-30 different IPs. After they are blocked there was much more IPs :-( But, never was thinking that way. What I have to send to ISP? my access log file?

I contacted hosting company again. they said there is nothing they can do about this- even I'm paying them to manage my virtual server (I can manage this way by my self too). of course they can if I pay extra :-( now, my question is: is there anything I can do to stop these attacks using php? something? anything? thanks L -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Outside of a define, you could have used dirname($_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]), but
in a define, that's not going to work.

Basically try-catch gives you the ability to handle errors outside a class or
method scope, by the calling instance.
This comes in handy, if you are programming in an object orientated way and
thus enables you to seperate error handling from the rest of your functionality.
Means, your methods do only the things, they are meant to do, without bothering
to handling occuring errors.
Hope, that made things clearer.

Your example kind of defeats the point. The point of a try {} block is
that it will attempt to execute code and execute catch on a true
failure. Your function already is protected against failure.
Consider this
$x = 0;
try {
$y = 4 / $x; // This will divide by zero, not good.
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo Error: $e
}
More importantly, the try/catch should be in your function, not around
the invocations of your function:
function inverse($x) {
try {
return $x/0;
} catch(Exception $e) {
return false;
}
}
Consider this also, simply echoing an error on divide by Zero might not
be great if your function is called, say, before headers. Throwing
exceptions can be re-caught by executing code, which can easily avoid
pre-header output.
Does that clear up the purpose a bit? I'm no expert, but that's my
understanding.
HTH,
Kyle
Yes and No...
Right now I was thinking to start using try/catch block on places where could
be problem in my code and, if there is an error - send to myself email with
error info.
E.g., I use right now something like this:
function send_conf_email($to, $subject, $content)
{
$headers =MIME-Versin: 1.0\n .
Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1;
format=flowed\n .
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n .
Reply-To: l...@yahoo.com\n.
From: LL\n .
X-Mailer: PHP . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
}
function send_error_email_to_admin($email)
{
$to = 'l...@yahoo.com';
$subject = '[Error Report] '.$email['subject'];
$content = $email['content'];
send_conf_email($to, $subject, $content);
}
if (!send_conf_email($to, $subject, $content))
{
send_error_email_to_admin($subject, $content);
}
how would/should be the code by using try/catch() block? something like this:
try
{
if (!send_plain_email($this-submitted_email, $subject, $body_plain))
{
throw new Exception('Confirmation email is not sent');
}
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
send_error_email_to_admin($subject, $content . $e-getMessage());

I know this is too simple, maybe not the best example, but can somebody
please explain the purpose of try/catch?
Thanks.

another example from php.net
?php
try

$connection = mysql_connect(...);
if ($connection === false)
{
throw new Exception('Cannot connect do mysql');
}
/* ... do whatever you need with database, that may mail and throw
exceptions too ... */
mysql_close($connection);
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
/* ... add logging stuff there if you need ... */
echo This page cannot be displayed;
}

compare to:
?php
$connection = mysql_connect(...) or die('Cannot connect do mysql'.
mysql_error());

Basically try-catch gives you the ability to handle errors outside a class or
method scope, by the calling instance.
This comes in handy, if you are programming in an object orientated way and
thus enables you to seperate error handling from the rest of your functionality.
Means, your methods do only the things, they are meant to do, without bothering
to handling occuring errors.
Hope, that made things clearer.

[PHP] HTML pages are faster then php?
hi, as far as I know (at least I was told so) html page will download faster then the same page made with php getting the same info from mysql, right? let's pretend we are building php/mysq based website of one football team. there are pages of every player, about the team, games etc. in admin area there is form to enter player's data: first name, last name, DOB, place of birth, him number (jersey), previous teams, education,... we submit data and they are stored in database. and we just did for john doe, (id=12345), born on 1986-10-02 in Paris, TX (do you remember nastasia kinski? :-)) on front end there is list of players and you click on john doe's name and the page will show submitted data. what if we, together with storing john doe data into mysql, create html page 12345.html with all his data. and actually, when visitor clicks on his name on the list of players it will not open player.php?id=12345 then 12345.html? this page will download faster, right? downside, depending of type of the website, it could be thousands and thousands of pages, but still...? to edit john doe page, the administrator (in admin area) will pull the data from mysql, do the changes and submit new ones to mysql and overwrite 12345.html page. now, what's bad with this structure? what am I thinking wrong? thanks ll

Re: [PHP] redoing website after 7 years
I think I did code well (everybody can say the code is 100% proof - until get
hacked ;-)) and never, for these 7 years had problems. And I'm sure the site
will be just ok if I switch register_globals back to On through .htaccess.
Actually, I offered the client 3 options: 1. redo the website (after 7 years,
it's really time to do that :-)); 2. fix the code but keep the site the same;
3. change .htaccess. the site will work just fine;
though, I also think, if you built your code with register_globals on several
years ago, you are still in a danger. Big or small, depends on your code, but
still in risky group. right?
anyway, the client was really understandable and we are going most likely to
build new website.
thanks for opinions and help.

In this case, it wouldn't be.
If the programmer designed an insecure web site 7 years ago then the
programmer should be
responsible for making the application secure. That was part of his/her job
in the beginning.
Nobody said it's insecure... only that register globals was used as a
feature, a feature at one point touted as useful to the PHP language. As
has been mentioned previously, register globals is not real culprit of
insecurity in this context, the real culprit is poor programming while
using register globals... unfortunately such programming was common thus
requiring a strong antidote... namely the downstream removal of support
for the feature.
I didn't mean to imply that the programmer did build an insecure app. I said
if the programmer designed and insecure web site.
If the designer didn't build an insecure app, then it wont hurt a thing to turn
on register_globals and just go back to the way it was before the ISP
upgraded.
I mean, sure when I first started designing/building web sites I thought I
was doing the right thing
most of the time. If two years down the road I had a moment of clarity and
I realized that I had
been doing something wrong or in-secure for the past two years (which I've
done) then I would go
back and tell the customer that I did something wrong or in-secure and I
would fix it for free.
Ahhh... but this presumes the programmer did something wrong. That has
not yet been determined. All we know is that globals were used, not that
they were necessarily used incorrectly.
I didn't say that, nor did I mean to imply that. I was talking about my
experiences.
Thia is part of my responsibility as a designer
With that said, I would image that over the past 7 years, if the site has
not been exploited, then I
would think that by turning register_globals back on would be of no concern.
To me, all the above sounds logical. If I am missing something, please
point it out.
Duly pointed out ;)
Cheers,
Rob.
So, here is how I would summarize all the above.
Whether or not the programmer used the feature register_globals isn't of
concern.
Whether the programmer designed and insecure app is the concern.
?php
$APP_SECURE = (app is secure?); // Boolean: TRUE, FALSE
if ( $APP_SECURE ) {
print('Turn on register_globals and call the job done.');
} else {
print('Fix, at no cost, what you designed insecurely.');
}

The problem here is you have to read and understand what the author

Chris is NOT saying that there is a difference between these two
forms of code. He is saying that one hides the fact that the variable
($search) is tainted while the other makes it more obvious.
The whole point of the first few pages is to show you how a variable
can be tainted and how you can minimize that by following some very
simple rules, one of which was simplicity, which you had problems
following.
With just a little reading, you could have answered your own question.

I hate it when people take things out of context and misquote others. Chris
did not say that one way was better, or different, than the other. But
rather he used two sets of code to illustrate a point.
Welcome back, Grum-pa. Glad to see you're willing to flame people
whose first language is not English. ;-P
If he wanted my advice in a different language, then he should have
asked his question in that language. That way I could have ignored
him in mine. Besides, I'm not flaming in his language, so that should
balance out.
In this case, the introduction chapter of Chris' PHP Security clearly
states several things one can do to simplify the task of security.
One of which is to understand that the way you code can hide tainted
variables.
Chris illustrated his tainted point by asking the reader to compare
these two structures:
[1]
$search = isset($_GET['search']) ? $_GET['search'] : '';
[2]
$search = '';
if (isset($_GET['search']))
{
$search = $_GET['search'];
}
He ALSO said that:
-- quote
The approach is identical, but one line draws in particular nows
draws much attention:
$search = $_GET['search'];
Without altering the logic in any way, it is now more obvious whether
$search is tainted and under what conditions.
-- un-quote
Now, instead of the OP getting the point the OP flies off on a
tangent asking us what's the difference in the following code? and
of course the answer is There is no difference. BUT, Chris didn't
say there was, as was implied by the OP in his post.
Sure I can understand language problems, but this thread was started
because the OP couldn't understand a simple concept that was stated
in less than ten (10) sentences. Our collective replies amounted to
more lines than that -- with the obvious language problems the OP has
with the written word, who knows what the OP thinks now.
But the point is that Chris did not say there WAS a difference as was
implied by the OP -- and that was my point.
some people just CAN'T understand there are some barriers in languages that
could cause misunderstanding.
true, I didn't understand chris' statement correctly and now, after tedd's
explanation is clear to me. and I thank to him.
though, I hate it (as sombody said) when I always regret to post
question and ask for help because of those arrogant php masters.
if you didn't uderstand, and most likely you didn't, I asked because I had a
problem and asked for help. not to be smart or flame something. I didn't
understand. But you don't KNOW how to answer to people without killing them
or at least slap them.
and using some local shortcuts (OP ?!?) could be rather annoying?

Then, I create each function I'm going to use once in a while as separate file. Pro: I would include a function when I'm going to use. Con: I have to write extra include line to call function. And have bunch of files (functions) in function folder. I was talking to co-workers few days ago and they said I complicate my life to much and putting ALL functions in one file is just fine and I'll not be able to see difference in real situations.

Re: [PHP] php book
opinions of good book is almost the same as opinion of good car. I can suggest you to go to barnes and noble or borders or any other bookstore, buy cup of coffee or tea, grab all php books from shelf and read some chapters. you are no going to learn anything, rather to compare styles. some authors use a lot of code, some to much code, some explain to details some throw just links where to find more info, some explain functions with examples, some just in general... you know what I mean. spend 2-3 hours going through the books and then pick one you like (the style) the most. my 2 cents. -ll - Original Message From: alexus [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: php-general@lists.php.net Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 9:50:23 AM Subject: [PHP] php book what book would you guys suggest for someone who's new and wants to learn php? -- http://alexus.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

[PHP] why use {} around vraiable?
hi,
I saw several times that some people use this
$parameters = array(
'param1' = {$_POST[param1]},
'param2' = {$_POST[param2]}
);
or
$query = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id='{$session_id}');
I would use:
$parameters = array(
'param1' = $_POST[param1],
'param2' = $_POST[param2]
);
and
$query = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id=' .$session_id. ' );
does it really matter? is there really difference or these are just two
styles?
thanks.

are the same.

[PHP] programming and design fees
hi, maybe my question is not exactly for php list, but since php IS involved and since you are such a great people, I hope the question will not disturb you :D I have a project for one electric wholesale store to build a web site. it has to be dynamic, php, database driven web site. it will have standard pages (news, links, about us, history, contact us, contact form, faq, business partners,...) and product catalog. my client wants to have ability to have different prices for the same product for different customers. means, when you come to the site you are going to see public prices. after customer logs in he's going to see some products with different price. customers (only registered ones) will be able to select products and create an order. of course, after he submits, he's going to get confirmation email, and one email will be sent to store etc. payment is not involved, the store will charge them later, probably monthly or something like that (not part of my project). even there is not payments or any other sensitive data will be transfered over the internet, I suggested and the store owner accepted to use login to membership area and ordering process SSL. project has administration area too to change content of the site, add/edit/delete (single) products, add/edit/delete customers. I have to build also script to update products using excel sheet - the easiest way to make update of products for store owner. I think I covered almost everything. there will be some more stuff, but noghtin critical (new customer registration page, manage my profile, order history,...) now, I didn't have such a big project on side ever. and I by default ALWAY suck in calculations how much time I need for a project and what to charge.

[PHP] unable to load perl extension
Hi
I am unable to call perl code from PHP, since the extension does not
get loaded !
Scenario 1:
use dl('perl.so'); in the php code and invoke the script from the command line
The script works fine and the perl code gets executed as well.
Scenario 2:
the perl extension does not get loaded and the PHP script crashes.
I have read the article
http://www.zend.com/php5/articles/php5-perl.php
If anybody has faced this issue, please share how you solved the problem ?
Thanks in advance.
Here are the environment Details:
RHEL 4.0
PHP 5.0.5 (self compiled)
PECL/PERL package checked out from CVS
PHP 5.0.5 compilation details

The script works fine and the perl code gets executed as well.
so the extension is not being loaded automatically right?
but if you dl() it everything is fine, right?
then double check the 'right' ini file is being used!
There is only one php.ini
I have checked the extensions path information using phpinfo().
Is there something else that I need to checkout ?
is the apache module using the php.ini that you think it is ?? -
that kind of thing has caught me out more than once!
How do I check that ?
I downloaded apache sources and compiled it.
Why do I need to specify the path of the php.ini file to the apache web server ?
