Re: [PHP] Memory Size Help Please
Hi,
Jay's comment was a fair one. It's not always possible to help without
full info.
You could try writing your data directly to disk instead of keeping them
in memory as your code seems to be doing. In that case your regex
function might need to go into the character data handler.

Re: [PHP] An array as an element of a function
Hi,
What do you mean by element of a function? usually functions take
parametes (also known as arguments). elements are members of an array.
In other words a collection of elements make up an array.

someprocess using $array1 and array2;
}

Or does something special have to be done?

Re: [PHP] Arrays and performance
Hi, I belive PHP should be able to handle it but it's a bad idea. The reason being your app will not scale. Because if you script consumes 2mb of memory on average, 100 users accesing it at the same time will be 200Mb. Of course if you expect only a small number of users it does not matter. The biggest XML job i have handled with PHP is parsing the ODP RDF dump which is around 700MB. Obviously arrays are out of the question in such a scenario, even though only one user will be accessing the script at a given moment. the ODP dump has a couple of million records Kim Steinhaug wrote: Something Ive wondered about as I started working with XML. Importing huge XML files, and converting theese to arrays works indeed very well. But I am wondering if there are any limits to how many arrays the PHP can handle when performance is accounted for. Say I create an array from a XML with lots of childs, say we are talking of upto 10 childs, which would give 10 dimensional arrays. Say we then have 10.000 records, or even 100.000 records. Will this be a problem for PHP to handle, or should I break such a prosess into lesser workloads (meaning lesser depth in the array)?

Re: [PHP] Arrays and performance
hi, In fact i had to handle the ODP dump on two occaisions the first time the results went into a mysql db, the second time it went into a series of files. On both occaisions i used SAX parsers. DOM would just roll over and die with this much of data. I placed code in the end element handler that would either save the data into a db or would save it to a file. In either case i only kept the data in memory for a short period. ie from the time the start element was detected through the character data handling until the end element was detected. (Obviously i am not talking of the root node here :-)) During the whole process you barely noticed the memory usage, however the disk usage still went up of course. Reading from disk 1 and writing to disk 2 does wonders! please let me know if you need any further clarifications.

Re: [PHP] Limiting repetitive file access
Hi,
While your solution is feasible it would still consume processor and
memory because you are doing this at a very high level, you will
be better of solving this at a lower level by a proper use of a
firewall. What you have described sounds like a kiddie script attempt at
a denial of service or brute force cracking.

Hi,
Recently, a 'user' attempted to access a restricted area of my site
repetitively (spanning five hours) entering the same url repetitively
[probably by script]. A massive log file was generated. I would like to ban
such behavior by limiting the number of successive 'get's a user can do (say
4 attempts) before an appropriate action is taken..
As a temporary measure (until I can figure a better way) the url in question
was disabled.
What I'd like to do, on a per-file basis using $_SESSION, is a combination of
ipaddress perhaps with a counter that records the number of times that file
was accessed, and limit the number of successive 'get's that can be done
before the file is no longer accessible.
In a script that checks for bad words, I have used:
?php
if ($_SESSION['text'] = badwords){
$_SESSION['attempt'] = 1;
header(location: unwanted.php);
}
[In the file unwanted.php I checked for $_SESSION['attempt'] = 1 and booted if
the condition was met]
However, using this approach I cannot augment this number without resorting to
a file get/put schema. Is there a way around this? Is there a better
approach?
I've tried .htaccess but the user in question has a dynamic address.
Any help appreciated.

Re: [PHP] can I license a php script?
Hi Kim, You do raise a lot of valid points about protecting your software. However we must also keep in mind that over protection makes a software very difficult to use. Unless we balance the two there will not be any sales. Kim Steinhaug wrote: Robert has some interesting thoughts aswell here. I just wanted to complement the stuff about securing your scripts. Zend has Zend Encoder, rather expensive - and with windows GUI. IonCube also has encoder, much more affordable, CommandLine. www.zend.com The first encodes and optimizes your code, and your server has 2 have the Zend Optimizer installed on its system for it to run. This has shown in history to be complicated on some ISP, who never gets their finger out and can install this. But usually, 4/5 it goes well. www.ioncube.com / www.ioncube.co.uk This one compiles and encrypts and optimizes (I think).

Benchmarks on their page also shows that this software accually beats the Zend Encoder, and the price is far better to, :) If you are developing some sort of software, you should always protect it so that : 1) Your competitors / resellers doesnt fuck you over by selling without you knowing it, or fix your code to fit their needs without you getting credit /payd for it. 2) Your customers doesnt play developers and try jerking your scripts, which in the long run gives you alot of extra support time as the scripts go bugging out.

Re: [PHP] Mulitpart form posts and mysql blobs
Hi, Haven't really done much work with blobs ( i always prefer to save just the file name in the databse) obviously this is a scenario where that approach is advantages. multipart/form-data isn't a very complex encoding scheme. Essentially what it does is combine all the files and other form fields together into a singe multipart message. Each file or data item has it's own headers. I recommend that you take a quick look at RFC 1867 and RFC 2616 If your server has perl you can very easily create a form handler that reads in from STDIN and writes to a file to see first hand what the multipart/form-data looks like. If you want i can give you such a script. John Ryan wrote: How are files encoded when theyre sent in mulitpart forms???

Hi John, Your new information does make my previous post redundant :-) However I disagree when you say. cURL can send files when given the filename, so I have to write the filename from the database and then give cURL the path. But thats messy IMHO this is a lot less messier than the current approach . You have to also keep in mind that using blobs puts just a wee bit more load on the database server.

Re: [PHP] help create community newbie guide to security
Nice work chris, you have left precious little for the others to comment on :-) 10. Use htmlentities() on data that will be put through a SQL query to prevent XSS attacks. http://php.net/htmlentities This is a nice suggestion. While htmlentities() cannot be guaranteed to defend against all XSS vulnerabilities, I would bet that most XSS vulnerabilities are due to a complete lack of filtering logic. If a developer doesn't even bother using htmlentities(), neglect is the best word to describe his/her approach to developing. In some cases, the developer may want certain HTML elements interpreted rather than escaped in this way. Perhaps you could mention that something like str_replace() can be used to convert specific HTML entities back to their original form. This method should filter any unwanted elements. but i would still like to add 2c by saying there is also the option of strip_tags which does a more drastic sanitization by removing anything that smells of html. -- Raditha Dissanayake. http://www.radinks.com/sftp/ | http://www.raditha.com/megaupload Lean and mean Secure FTP applet with | Mega Upload - PHP file uploader Graphical User Inteface.

Hi, Compiling stuff from source is one of the fun things that you get to do on linux. As with most things it takes a while to aquire the taste though.

Re: [PHP] is_uploaded_file() security
I don't think so. Test this, but I think you can just type /etc/passwd into the file name box (instead of using the browse button) and have that value submitted in the form. May be dependent upon the browser on how it's handled, though. This does not work with multipart/form-data you need www-urlencoded (or just don't set an enctype attribute in your form) Either way, I can still construct a POST to your site using cURL or something to simulate sending you a file with a name of a file on your server. So, validate that the file is actually an uploaded file and not a path to something else. That's why the functions exist. ---John Holmes... -- Raditha Dissanayake. http://www.radinks.com/sftp/ | http://www.raditha/megaupload/ Lean and mean Secure FTP applet with | Mega Upload - PHP file uploader Graphical User Inteface.

Re: [PHP] fsock sending bad request
hi,
deo $header.= $req\n;
Tom is right but as usual IIS is wrong and expects it :-( so better to
use it anyway.
deo $fp = fsockopen(host, 80, $errno, $errstr, $timeout = 30);
errno and errstr will not be set unless you pass it by reference.
deo $header.= Host: host\r\n;
Host header is usually used only with HTTP/1.1

hi, I think marek's recent message has answered this already, but i also believe that even in the older system where you have form fields like input type=file name=userfile result in global variables like userfile_name etc the global variables don't get populated unless you send the correct enctype. best regards Alexander Mueller wrote: Raditha Dissanayake wrote: Hi, Multipart/form-data sends the entire file, if you don't use that enctype yes, just the file name is sent. best regards I see, but then $_FILES is probably not set.

Re: [PHP] Images being uploaded in ASCII format

Could you explain what exactly you mean by transferred in ASCII mode? do
you find that cr/lf combinations are translated (there by corrupting

Thanks for the tip, but that's not the problem. My code is below, and
as you can see there is nothing in the code that would be causing this.
It has to be something in the server, and while there have been a few
posts to these lists about this problem, never a resolution for the
problem.
Here's the code:
?php

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?
input type=hidden name=method value=upload
File:input type=file name=userfile size=35
input type=submit value=upload name=submit
/form
/body
/html
This is very standard code, yet the images are uploaded in ascii format.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? How can I for the http
uploads to auto-detect? I've looked through the entire php.ini and
httpd.conf files and I can't seem to find anything, and as I mentioned
above none of the previous posts on this topic have been resolved.
Anyone?

Catching up with my list mails. As Ray has pointed out you can only do

Maybe if you would post your xml and xsl we could give it a shot.

Re: [PHP] Re: Detecting devices i.e. PDA, Mobile
Hi Justin et al, Yes you are right that user agent field is not always reliable but 98% of the time you will be able to tell if it's a mobile or a pc. That's good enough. If someone fakes the header they will just get a wrong content type and no harm done. I first did a wap site with php using this method way back in 2000. Unidentified browsers were given html. As for a detailed list of various mobile browers, it's impossible to maintain this list. That's why there is a sourceforge project that does it and we can all benefit. did i mention xslt?

Thanks for your help Manuel, Shaun, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] (just like anything else from the client side) can't be trusted to either exist, or to be correct. Some user agents don't set this value, and it's quite easy for it to be faked. More to the point, there's no way you can possibly account for all possible user agents out there... perhaps only the popular ones. So, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] is a good starting point or method for guessing where to send people, but it's not fail safe AT ALL. I think the fail safe way is to create pages which are standards compliant (XHTML strict) and use CSS for all styling/presentation, which means your pages will accessible via the largest possible number of viewing devices, like PDA, WAP, text-to-speech, desktop browsers, Web TV, etc. The move away from table based layouts and poorly accessible webpages is a big one, but not THAT big :) Justin -- Raditha Dissanayake. http://www.radinks.com/sftp/ | http://www.raditha/megaupload/ Lean and mean Secure FTP applet with | Mega Upload - PHP file uploader Graphical User Inteface.

Re: [PHP] do I need a database
How about XML ? But seriously flat files or databases would be better if this is a simple set up. If you plan to do a lot of writing and very little reading flat files are a hell of a lot of faster.

Re: [PHP] Use XML...
Hi, I do believe sudheer's requirement would call for the searching to be done on the server side. Personally i don't use XML when searching is involved. If you use a DOM based solution all your servers memory just gets sucked up. If you use plain old sax you have to do a lot of coding yourself (though you can get the result much faster). But i do think it's just about the best thing when it comes to sequential reading of records.

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP CSS
Hi David, I think he's suggesting parsing and rewriting the CSS files - treating them as INI files. Nopes definitely not. Personally, I think XSLT os overkill for this, but then I think it's a pig's ear fullstop. Yes everyone is entitled to his opinion. :-) Write a script that opens your CSS file, parses the current CSS settings out of it, and displays them as a form. The user then updates and submits new values, and the script writes the new values the the CSS file. I'd bet money that a PHP class for reading and writing CSS files already exists, too. I would agree with you that there are ways in which you can dynamically generate CSS etc with PHP. I have been down that road three four years back. But raquel wants to separate these things out.

Re: [PHP] NEW: XML Application Objects
Hi Terrence The only thing that disagree with in your whole post is 'XSLT is a pain in the butt' far from it. I aint no master either but i really like it. XSLT is a pain in the butt if you want to master it - particularly if you're going from imperative programming to declarative (maybe XPath is functional, but declaring templates is definately declarative) as many PHP developers would be. It took me a good twelve months to get it (eg. use XPath filters and not xsl:if/). That didn't stop me from churning out some production applications using XSLT. You can learn the basics without mastering it and still find it plenty useful. I would argue that my XSLT skills still leave a lot to be desired, but mastery of it is still worthwhile persuing. Quite simply, XSLT has a lot of depth. -- Raditha Dissanayake. http://www.radinks.com/sftp/ | http://www.raditha/megaupload/ Lean and mean Secure FTP applet with | Mega Upload - PHP file uploader Graphical User Inteface.

Re: [PHP] NEW: XML Application Objects
Hi Terence, I am equally puzzled as to why people are using all sorts of crappy proprietory template systems instead of XSLT. It's particularly useful when dealing with WAP. I suspect the reason could well be the inconsistencies in compiling php with XSLT support. compiling the Sablatron module for perl on the other hand is a breeze and over the last year or so whenever i did anything with xslt it's always been with perl. Can i contribute to your project? Terence wrote: I've just released the first distribution for an open-source project called XML Application Objects (XAO). It's the result of working with XML/XSLT in PHP for a couple of years now. Although this is an alpha release, the concept itself has gone through a lot of refinement and is now ready for prime time. The publication of the project itself was partially motivated by the discussions that took place in this thread (A Complete List of PHP Template Engines?) which basically sees me arguing for the usage of standards (XSLT) rather than having to learn a proprietary new templating system every time you work on someone elses PHP app. This project is the result of much blood, sweat, and tears so I hope someone out there finds it useful. I have made documentation a paramount considderation for the XAO API because I'm keen for it to be another PHP success story.

Re: [PHP] method to prevent multiple logons of same account
Hi, I am in 100% agreement with mark. But if you want to go ahead with this it can be done easily with the proper use of mysql indexes. Assuming you are storing user information in the mysql db. If you reply back saying you store the userid in the session my reply is going to be. OUCH you have an insecure site. best regards Marek Kilimajer wrote: This has been discused several times befor and the conclusion is that these obstructions are wrong. What if the user loses its credentials and he is still considered loged in. He cannot log in again. If you bind the session to a IP address then you create problems for users behind proxy farms. Your option (b) is virtualy the same as doing nothing about it at all. Chris W. Parker wrote: Hi. Ok I've got the logging in of customer accounts settled but what I need to work into the system is that of preventing more than one instance of the same account. If I logon right now as testuser1 on ComputerA and then go to ComputerB and login as testuser1 it'll work just fine. What I want to do is one of the following: (a) prevent the second instance of testuser1 from succeeding, (b) logoff the first instance of testuser1 when the second instance authenticates. I know I'll have to keep a database and store the following: username (or user id), session id, time of login, and/or time of last action. Option A is very easy. I can easily look in the database and see if that person is already logged in. If they are found in the db I just refuse the second login attempt. Option B on the other hand seems a little more difficult. As far as I've thought it out so far I'll have to check the db on each page request to see if the user is still valid. That is to say, if the second attempt is allowed to login I would have to change the users session id from the first instance to the second instance. Then when the first instance goes to a new page the application would say Hey wait a minute buddy! Your session id is different than the one in the database. You've either timed out or someone else has logged in with the same username. Am I thinking this through correctly? Comments?

Re: [PHP] multi uploads permissions
Hi,
you can either use the chown function in php syntax:
|int chown|(string filename, mixed user);
or use backticks (`) to call the system chown executable. The simplest
way however might be to ask your sysadmin to set the umask for you.

Re: [PHP] nonblocking socket causes 100% cpu usage
Hi, I don't think i saw your mail getting answered. This is unusual cause sockets taking up processor is something that i normaly associate with windows. Maybe if you could post a bit of your code we might be able to get a better idea about what's happening. Joe wrote: I have a commandline php script, which opens a nonblocking socket to a server. Inside the message loop, where it polls the socket to determine whether there is any data to read/write, I've been running into problems, where the application takes as much CPU time as it can (80%, 90%, sometimes 99%, etc)... Normally, using socket_select() with a timeout should allow allow it to poll the socket without using all the cpu time, but it isn't working. I've tried with timeouts of 15ms, 100ms, 200ms, 500ms, 1sec, and it's still using 100% cpu time. Even adding sleep() and usleep() calls will not relieve the system load that the script causes. For now, I've fixed the problem temporarily by not setting the socket in nonblocking mode (so it blocks when reading), but the reason I need to use nonblocking is that I'm adding more to it that will require that the script can respond to events *between* reading from the socket. Can anyone explain why socket_select and other timeout function calls would still cause it to use 100% cpu time? If it makes a difference, the script is on gentoo linux, and it includes a fork() call, to fork into the background (though this shouldn't make a difference). Is it possible that socket_select() ignores the timeout values, if the sockets are nonblocking? Or would I be able to use socket_select() on a blocking socket, to simulate the effect of a nonblocking socket (so that I would only call socket_read() IF socket_select() indicates that there is data waiting.)

Hi John, Yops you are very right, this is only a few lines of visual basic or java code. John W.

You're out of luck - for security reasons, the file input widget is intentionally resistant to scripting/styling. Like I said, find another method.

Hi Jay and everyone, Sorry about the belated reply but i do believe that Work product for the customer belongs to the customer unless specifically stated differently in the contract does not apply to source code.

I have a couple of tools which I have developed over time, and I specifically exclude these from the work product in the contract if I expect to use them.

Re: [PHP] How can I auto upload a file to the server?
Hi, The exact mechanism you mentioned cannot be easily created with php. What you can do is the install PHP command line version on your system and upload directly with that using a php script completly bypassing the browser. In that case though you will need to create write the post data using your own script. In other words your php script opens the upload_me.txt files, opens an http connection to the server and writes the contents of the file as multipart/form-data. The browser does not come into the picture. all the best jane wrote: I have a .txt file on my local Windows 2000 box that i want uploaded to a remote L.A.M.P. server with only one click.

Re: [PHP] Q on class failure...
hi,
It's generaly considered that constructors are supposed return an
instance of that class. Use a factory instead if you want to return nulls;
jsWalter wrote:
I found this in the docs...
If you want your constructor to possibly not create the object
class A
{
function A()
{
// ...
// some error occurred
$this = null;
return;
}
}
I tested it, it works great.
Then I read on...
Setting $this to null isn't available in PHP 4.3.3R3 anymore. Maybe in
version below also.
Great! :/
I have 4.3.2, so I guess it would work for me.
If this feature has been removed, can someone show me a good way to
indicate a failure on object instantiation?
Thanks

Re: [PHP] non-php issue
relax guys, I have been dying to say You can fix all of your problems by formatting your computer and installing a linux distribution. On this list for ages :-) but the fact remains that an out of the box installation of any of the linux distros are far more secure than anything putout by that redmond company. Peter James wrote: You guys running Linux sure are cocky about these sorts of things. I have no doubt that Linux' time will come, and then it will be the MacOS X users, or FreeBSD users, or [insert random-os-that-still-remains-under-the-radar here] users that think they are untouchable. If Linux enjoyed the same type of (often less-than-computer-literate) user base that Windows does, there'd be plenty for virus writers and vulnerability exploiters to do. Linux is not necessarily more secure... just not a honeypot of large numbers of gullible users.

Re: [PHP] Possible Bug With $_FILES Global
HI, Te first time i switched from $userfile_** to $_FILES i spent hours pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my arrays were not getting populated. I too felt like reporting it but decided against is because someone is sure to say 'this is a feature not a bug' :-)) Nathan Taylor wrote: Hey Guys, I discovered a possible bug with the $_FILES super global and thought I'd pass it along to you guys to double check the accuracy of this being a bug before I reported it to the PHP team. So here goes.. The default format for $_FILES is $_FILES['variable']['element'] which of course works fine, following this format I would assume that the format for a variable inside an array would be $_FILES['array']['variable']['element'] but on the contrary it is in fact $_FILES['array']['element']['variable']. Somehow this doesn't seem quite right to me. Granted, it still works just as well but it sort of breaks the traditional naming structure for an array and really jumbles the logical flow of things. Do you think this is worth reporting?
