Re: [PHP] gzuncompress() Not Working.

[heavyccasey]

In my tests, Python can parse both Adler-32 and CRC32, while PHP can
only do Adler-32.

Anyways, I shortened my function:
function fixAdler32($data) {
static $f;
if (!isset($f)) $f = tempnam('/tmp', 'gz_fix');
file_put_contents($f, "\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" . 
$data);
return file_get_contents('compress.zlib://' . $f);
}

Re: [PHP] gzuncompress() Not Working.

[heavyccasey]

They're exactly the same, except of the last 4 bytes. Python
calculates them differently than PHP. PHP follows the standards,
Python does not :]

This would be more concise if PHP included the gzdecode
(http://us2.php.net/gzdecode) function.

Re: [PHP] gzuncompress() Not Working.

[heavyccasey]

The documentation for zlib says that it expects an Adler-32 checksum
at the end of the file.

PHP follows this [largely outdated] standard.

Python, on the other hand, doesn't, and uses a different checksum, CRC-32.

That's why it won't decompress. But I've written my own function and
it's working now. :)
function fixAdler32($data) {
$tempnam = tempnam('/tmp', 'gzfix');
$fh = fopen($tempnam, 'wb');

fwrite($fh, "\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" . $data);
fclose($fh);

$dat = '';
$gz = gzopen($tempnam, 'rb');
if ($gz == false) die('Error opening temporary GZ file.');

do {
$dat .= gzread($gz, 10);
} while (!feof($gz));
gzclose($gz);
unlink($tempnam);
return $dat;
}

Re: [PHP] gzuncompress() Not Working.

[heavyccasey]

Alright, I think I know the problem.

PHP's gzuncompress uses the Adler-32 checksum at the end of the zlib,
while Python uses CRC32.

Why must you follow the standards, PHP!?

Does anyone know of any workaround?

[PHP] Memory Allocation Error

[heavyccasey]

Hi!

I have a script that reads a 120 MB remote file. This raises a Memory
Allocation Error unless I use:
 ini_set('memory_limit', '130M');

I doubt this is good for my server... I tried both fopen and
file_get_contents. This used to work fine in PHP 4 until I upgraded to
PHP 5.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Not really. You could open a sample book in bookstores, scan the
chapters to decide whether you are gonna buy it. It's not porn magazines
wrapped in plastic bag, with a label "18-year-old or more".

There are bookstores that don't customers to preview the books. For me,
I would not buy a book by just looking at the cover. You gotta kidding
me or you were too greedy.

Actually in this case there is only one possible way it could have
happened. I'll lay it out simply for you if I must, but it's simple
logical progression.

No, it absolutely has a definitive answer.

The basis of your assertion is incorrect. Methinks you're being
presumptuous by declaring check and mate prematurely.

That's exactly correct. Except I /think/ you should use "\n" instead of '\n'.

Bleh, do it right. Don't settle for half-assed solutions that rely on
someone being an "average" person.

Set ajaxObject.setRequestHeader("User-Agent","SecretName"); in
Javascript and check for it in PHP. Not fool-proof, but the average
person wouldn't be able to get in.

Re: [PHP] What is the best way to protect the PHP page that returns the AJAX data?

[heavyccasey]

That's a humongous, humongous security risk there.

What if someone goes http://example.com/gimmedata.php?query=DROP DATABASE hi?
Unless I misunderstood.

A better way would be in the script:

switch ($_GET['query']) {
case "fetch": $dbquery = 'SELECT stuff FROM stuff'; break;
case "eatsnacks": $dbquery = 'SELECT snacks FROM edibles'; break;
// ...
}

and fetch instead "http://example.com/gimmedata.php?query=eatsnacks";

Like most sites, someone needs to join up to use mine.

I'm using a wee-bit-o-AJAX to pull some results from a database and display 
them dynamically.

For the AJAX to work, it has to hit a script that's accessible from the htdocs 
tree right?
Effectively it's just a (JavaScript initiated) GET URL request correct?

For example, index.html calls http://example.com/gimmedata.php?query=foo
That in turn returns a JS formatted array which is eval() in JS and rendered on 
the page.

(over simplified I know)

My question is, how do you protect gimmedata.php since it's sitting out there 
sans normal web headers and stuff?
Can it include session_start() and do all that wonderful checking to make sure 
the user is logged in before just happily doling out
my precious data?

What is the proper, secure, sanctioned and AJAX/PHP blessed way to do this?

I could set up a test environment and hack up something I'm sure -- and 
probably will if I get too impatient, but nobody seems to
address this issue in any examples, they just do it as if information is *gasp* 
free. I'm a PHP guru, but I am also an AJAX novice.
From what I gather, the return is really in XML transport format and all the 
magic of converting to/from XML is transparent to me. I
worry that putting other headers or whatever may "corrupt" that?

Re: [PHP] echo or print ?

[heavyccasey]

Me too. I use echo. Print is a function.

There's no significant difference between them. My advice: choose one,
and stick with it.

print returns a result, echo doesn't. This makes echo slightly faster
than print, but I doubt theres any significant speed improvement using
echo instead of print.

I use echo, but thats just because its a habit.
