[PHP] MySQL Insert with Auto-Increment
Ok, here's what I have. I want to insert some values into a table with an auto_increment field, but I want to get the Serial of the record I just inserted so I can name an image $Serial.jpg. I could just select the serial of the last record entered but what happens (and I know it's unlikely but could happen) if someone else inserted another record a half a second after this one? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Brian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] BIT OT - preventing double submit
What happens when the refresh? How about this...when the form loads
the first time it generates a unique_id, and when you submit the form
it has to match that unique_id. That would stop people from being able
to refresh because once the unique_id is submitted, it won't accept any
more submissions with that unique_id. It makes sense to me, but this
is my Friday ramblings

RE: [PHP] chill out
It's really funny that this happened because not more than one week ago I was discussing the professionalism of this list with one of my co-workers. I've been very happy with it, but I remember when I first joined it I asked a pretty dumb question and got slammed by a bunch of people because it was simple, but I was just overlooking the solution. It did make me feel like an idiot, but I dealt with it because this was a GREAT resource for all kinds of other information. I'd have to say that this is one of the best, most informative lists I've had the pleasure of being a part of and I'd say it's worth getting slammed every now and again if that's what I have to deal with to get solutions to my problems. :-) Cheers...

Granted, there are guru's out there that know all there is to know about PHP, and then there's the new kid that has no idea what it is, but either wants to learn or has to learn. And it is quite possible that not everyone is as adept at finding information online - if you're new to server-side programming languages in general - how or why would you know of the great many repositories of information available online? Sarcasm is one thing, gawd knows I use it on a by the minute basis ... but when a newbie posts a question that may seem simple to some - yet utterly impossible to others, is it constructive to tell them to go back and RTFM in a violent manner? Suggesting that they review the manual again may help, or better yet - if you think it's not worth your time, that's what the trash can button is for.

No. If you already know you don't want it to be unchecked, then don't show a checkbox. That's why we have PHP, so you can create your page DYNAMICALLY and not show bits and pieces when you don't need to. Although that is theoretically correct, there can be some reason why one would want to display a checkbox anyway. Sometimes it can be clearer for the user to see the GUI, asthetic reason, etc, etc. True. In that case, though, I would just show an image of a checked check box. The end result will be the same to the user, they will just think it's a checkbox they cannot uncheck. But isn't it so much easier to type in that one line HTML + javascript than trying to get an image of a checked check box.. unless you have that handy, you'd have to eg. take a snapshot, or draw something, then save the file as an image file...hmm... and as you said, the effect will be the same to the user anyway RDB -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Subject: [PHP] Hacker problem
Been having some hacker problems on my site, and a simple one:
I have a shoutbox, a simple form with name and text that adds
lines to the
database. I do checks for insults, too long words, tags, etc, but its
still
possible to circumvent those checks by adding the data on the url
instead
of using the form. something like:
www.domain.com/shoutb.php?name=hackertext=generalnonsenseandbadwords
To prevent this, i tried tracing the http_referral so that only
data from
inside the site goes into the shoutbox. THe problem is that if you do
that
url above after visiting my site, the http_referral obviously thinks
its
coming from inside the site. :-P
How can i solve this? Is there any way to prevent data adding
from
outside? Maybe some invisible check on the form or something?
Thanks.

Your only way of making sure is to create a serverside script which filters the data. Yes, theoretically...you could require it to be posted data. In order to do this you would have to make sure registered_globals is set to off in your php.ini and then for each variable posted from your form you will need to do something like this $name=$_POST[name]; This will only post the variables if they have been posted. Then you could use the referrer along with this and it will only allow data from that specific form. Hope this helps!

[PHP] Shipment Tracking/UPS
Ok, here's what I've got and it's driving me insane. What I want to do
is take a tracking number and grab the tracking data from the UPS web
site. I have a couple of questions though
First of all, does anyone know if this is against UPS' TOS? I read it
but I didn't really see anything, of course IANAL, so I might have
missed something.
Second, I assume this is best done using CURL. I can get the shipment
information just fine, but when I try to use the POST method to get the
Detailed Information it does not display any of the detailed info,
just some of the UPS page with some broken images. I'm not concerned
about getting images or anything else to show up, all I want is to be
able to grab the data from the source. Here's my codeany help
would be greatly appreciated

[PHP] Escape Characters
Hi All, I'm running a script that reads the contents of images and stores them in a MySQL database. The problem I'm running into is that my server is seeing \ as escape characters and stripping them out. I assume this has something to do with Magic Quotes or something of that nature but I'm not exactly sure which variable I'm playing with. For the time being I'm replacing any \ with \\ so it only escapes one of them, but I'm sure this is not the correct solution. If anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong any info would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this has already been discussed but I could not find it in the archive. Maybe I was searching for the wrong thing? Please help. Thanks in advance, Brian Drexler -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Preventing the hijacking of pictures
What about using a MySQL database? Insert the picture into a field in a table, then use a php script to call the data. I've been working on something like this. Is it practical, or am I barking up the wrong tree? -Original Message- From: John W. Holmes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 12:20 PM To: 'merlin'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Preventing the hijacking of pictures I recently discovered the reason why the traffic is rising so high on my server. Some people are stealing bandwidth. They include the link of an image into a forum posting. Now everytime somebody reads this threat on the other site this image is served by my server!! No one cares about one image, but they become dramaticly a lot! Is there a reason how to find out that the image is not include into my html code, but into the other site code? A great idea would be showing a kind of a watermark on this images if they are included inside other websites. $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERRER] does not help. But there might be another method I do not know of. Thank you for any help and hints on this topic! The best way to handle this is probably with your web server. There are some rewrite rules that you can apply to the images/ directory that'll redirect a request for an image to another image if the request doesn't come from your site. We used to do this on a site I helped run. If someone tried to hotlink to one of our images, they got an add for some rather queer looking male swimsuits... :) Or, the other option is to implement this in PHP. Store your images outside of the web root. Serve them all up through a PHP page. img src=foo.php?id=111 foo.php will make sure that the request is valid by possibly checking a session value or HTTP_REFERRER. If the request is valid, send the headers and use readfile() to send the image data. If it's not, send the data for another image or nothing. The downside to this is it's harder to manage and all images requests will be running through PHP pages. ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.

Howdi Alll
some of you might laugh at this but I cant get this to work
Im doing a count on a field and want to diplay the result here is an
example...
?php
#error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo date(Y-m-d);
print $date;
mysql_connect(servername, user, password)
or die(Connect failed);
$query = select count(user) from log_request where

$result = mysql_db_query(call_manage, $query)
or die(query failed);
while($line = mysql_fetch_object($result))
{
print (table width=100% border=0tdtr bgcolor=#f0f0f0);
print (brb /b$line-userbr\n);
print (/td/tr);
}
?
what am I missing as it returns no value at all from $line-user,
should I be
doing this differently??
Thankyou
Chris

RE: [PHP] uh, oh errors?
What are some benefits to using output buffering versus just letting it
generate as it goes?

Subject: Fw: [PHP] uh, oh errors?
Don't feel bad about this. This is something that messes a lot of
people
up. The browser knows where your headers end and where content begins
by
adding blank line between the headers and the rest of the page. ALL
headers
must come before any content is printed to the page. PHP will give you
that
error if you attempt to write a new header. So in fact your problem is
not
on Line 13.. but is actually on Line 11. There are at least two ways to
avoid this...
1. Don't print content before headers. :)
2. Use output buffering to write the whole page before it is outputed
to the
browser.
Hope this helps,

Subject: [PHP] uh, oh errors?
Not sure how to resolve this, looked at php.net for the headers
available
and this is the error I am recieving:
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by
(output
started at /path/to/connection/script/db.php:6) in
/path/to/login/checking
file/auth_done.php on line 13
Here is the code that is in auth_done.php:
session_start();
require '/path/to/login/checking file/db.php';
$db_table = 'auth_users';
$sql = SELECT * from $db_table WHERE un = \$u_name\ AND pw =
password(\$p_word\);
$result = @mysql_query($sql,$dbh) or die(Couldn't execute query);
$num = mysql_numrows($result);
if ($num !=0) {
session_register('u_name');
session_register('p_word');
$msg_success = Good freakin job poindexter!!;
} else {
header (Location: index.php); // This is line 13 that is my error
generator
}
This is the code for the db.php script:
?php
$dbh = mysql_connect('localhost','username','password') or die('Could
not
connect to database, please try again later');
mysql_select_db('db_name') or die('Could not select database, please
try
again later');
?
Any help would be great! I am assuming there is another way to
redirect
users besides the header function, just not sure what it is or how to
use
it. Thanks in advance,

In general, if people need to ask such a question, then they really are not ready, or do not understand the security implications of creating mail accounts on a server. I agree with Jason here. 1. An IMAP account != a mail account, thats just a MAA (Mail Access Agent) which allows you to read mail from a file/dir/storage space on your machine. I use Courier IMAP for that (using ./Maildir). 2. We need to know your MTA and MDA in order to even begin to help 3. On a default RedHat setup you need root access (as in you need give your php script root access) in order to perform what your asking. If that doesnt ring alarm bells, please type halt at your RedHat console now. The first thing you need to ask yourself is why would you want to do it? For the most part, I use these sort of functions from a PHP script to administrate my system and give customers automated access to modify their own domains. (This is all done through a MySQL firewall [as in data gets put into MySQL from the interface, and then read by backend scripts that do the dirty work - unconnected to the frontend interface for security ... incase anyone was about to tell me what they think a firewall is]) Although I can't see these two people having the unix know-how in order to build such a system, let alone securely. I would make some bitchy underhanded comments about their Mother's and the local Ameaoba slut relating to their IQ ... but I wont, cuz Im not like that ;) heh Jason: what dya recon on people being licensed to be able to run a unix style operating system? heh Hell lets license people to use computers. -- Dan Hardiker [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] ADAM Software Systems Engineer First Creative Ltd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
