[PHP] PHP short tags: Questions
Hi, I am trying to describe why php short tags failed to work on a server... here is my simplified explanation: it had to do with the server settings... The short_open_tag directive in php.ini was set to 0. Do you think that is an ok way to describe the problem to a technically literate non php coder? Additionally, is there a good reference on the net that explains the differences between short open tags and normal open tags? Main negative things I have read about short open tags: 1. Not as portable. 2. Security risk/less secure. 3. Will conflict with XML tags. 4. Other? Thanks!

[PHP] Comment form spammer
Hi,
Recently, a client of mine was getting a ton of spam email from a site
called hotbox.com. I updated her form to one with more spam security,
but she is still receiving junk email.
Anyone feel like sharing code snippets that will help beef-up spam
protection for a contact script?
Do you all enable a CAPTCHA system?
Here is what I am currently using in my contact form script to protect
from spam:
# Error text:
$no_go = 'Forbidden - You are not authorized to view this page!';
# First, make sure the form was posted from a browser.
# For basic web-forms, we don't care about anything other than requests
from a browser:
if(!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { die($no_go); exit(); }
# Make sure the form was indeed POST'ed (requires your html form to use
action=post):
if(!$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == POST) { die($no_go); exit(); }
# Host names from where the form is authorized to be posted from:
$auth_hosts = array(site1.com, site2.com);
# Where have we been posted from?
$from_array = parse_url(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']));
# Test to see if the $from_array used www to get here.
$www_used = strpos($from_array['host'], www.);
# Make sure the form was posted from an approved host name:
if(!in_array(($www_used === false ? $from_array['host'] :
substr(stristr($from_array['host'], '.'), 1)), $auth_hosts)) {
//log_bad_request();
header(HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden);
exit();
}
# Attempt to defend against header injections:
$bad_strings = array(Content-Type:, MIME-Version:,
Content-Transfer-Encoding:, bcc:, cc:);
# Loop through each POST'ed value and test if it contains one of the
$bad_strings:
foreach($_POST as $k = $v) {
foreach($bad_strings as $v2) {
if(strpos($v, $v2) !== false) {
log_bad_request();
header(HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden);
exit();
}
}
}
# Made it past spammer test, free up some memory and continue rest of
script:
unset($k, $v, $v2, $bad_strings, $auth_hosts, $from_array, $www_used);

Quick note to Kevin Waterson:
Hehe, I think all this talk about spam sent my response to your reply
into your spam filter... I got a bounce back. Thanks for help though...
let me know if there is any way I can re-send the email without a
bounce-back.
Richard Lynch wrote:
If you are not already, PLEASE make sure that any headers you pass in
to mail(), including the to, subject, and headers args (1, 2,
and 4 args) do *NOT* have any newlines in the user-input data.
Sounds good to me. Thanks for pointing that out.
I just found this link:
*Form Post Hijacking*
http://www.anders.com/projects/sysadmin/formPostHijacking/
Looks like the above article mentions the same thing and proposes this
as a fix:
$_POST['email'] = preg_replace(/\r/, , $_POST['email']);
$_POST['email'] = preg_replace(/\n/, , $_POST['email']);
This is another good one:
*Email Injection*
http://www.securephpwiki.com/index.php/Email_Injection
Cuz if you ain't doing that, you're not just letting them spam your
client, but also letting them inject spam to ALL OF US!
Don't do that. :-)
Man, spammers suck! I just had someone take over my own domain a
couple weeks ago... thank god for Spam Assassin and Cpanel! :D
I also just trash anybody trying to send HTML enhanced (cough,
cough) email through the website form -- You KNOW only a spammer is
going to sit there and type HTML into an email form on a website.
if (strip_tags($body) != $body) { die(spammer); }
Ahh, good point. So, with the above line, you are saying:
If the message body stripped of all html tags is not equal to the
message body, then kill the script? Ah, makes perfect sense... a great
way to test for html spam. Thanks for sharing! :D
Do you all enable a CAPTCHA system?
I did on one site that was just getting pounded -- Actually it was a
guestbook with site-owner approval, so the junk never went public, but
that didn't stop the automated spammers from trying anyway, and the
client sure didn't want to scroll through hundreds of posts to find
the one real one. Sigh.
Man, that sucks. SMFing spammers. They really are annoying.
I *hate* CAPTCHA for various reasons, but I was stuck for any other
solution that would stop the junk...
Yeah, I would prefer to not setup a CAPTCHA too (although, I would like
to learn how to script one)... hopefully implementing your (and everyone
else's) great suggestions will really make my script hard to spam.
Thanks Richard, I really appreciate... you are always very helpful and
your advice is top-notch. :)
Cheers,
Micky

Thanks for sharing. :D After you pass the CAPTCHA, it links to source. The connect.inc file is not available, as it has database password in it, but other than pg_connect() there is nothing interesting in there anyway. ... Note that if you are already using SESSIONs, then you could just toss the $token in $_SESSION -- I, however, was not, and did not want to start issuing cookies just for the CAPTCHA to work. Hehe, sounds like what I am thinking... I really do not even want to touch her site much as I am working on a re-design now and probably going to use a CMS to manage content. But, I will still be using the contact form, so all you your (and others) help is greatly appreciated. The web2 dictionary is Webster's older dictionary, now in the public domain, and is installed on my server by the webhost -- so presumably is readily available. Nice, was not aware of that dictionary, googling now. :) I also intentionally added zero noise to my CAPTCHA -- though you obviously can make the PNG as complicated as you like. I figure if the spammers want to OCR the CAPTCHA, I'm just gonna take the damn guestbook down. Lol, ya... that is kinda where I am coming from. If my client does not solve her probs after I fix-up the contact form script, then I will suggest she just asks folks to use an email program and manually contact her.

$pages[$i][0] = substr_replace($pages[$i][0],
'em'.$pages[$i][0]{0}.'/em', 0, 1);

Wow, thanks for all the great information folks (Stut, Ivo, Rob, and David.) I really appreciate all of the top-notch advice and expert information. :D Looks like I have a lot to think about... Currently, I hard-code the paths to the folders that house the files I want my CMS to edit (via a config file.) The script then iterates through the directory and adds all files of a specific type to a dropdown menu. The user can then choose one of the files to edit and load that file into a textarea... After changes are made, the content/code gets saved back to the same file/location. I do have an uploads folder, but it is in a different location on the server. I do not allow the user to create new files (I would have to do that manually)... it is a /very/ basic CMS. Anyway, looks like I have some great info to work with.

[PHP] PHP 4 OOP, re-using a object?
Hi,
I am slowly learning how to use classes properly... quick question:
# Create the object:
$doSplash = new RandomSplash(); // Create the object.
Shouldn't I be able to call that object like below, throughout my page:
...HTML...
?php $doSplash-randomize('css'); ?
...HTML...
?php $doSplash-randomize('xhtml top'); ?
...HTML...
?php $doSplash-randomize('xhtml bot'); ?
...HTML...
Sorry, this is probably a noob question... I am pretty good at using
functions, but classes are still new to me.
Any help, even a RTFM link, would be really appreciated. :)
Have a great day!
Cheers,

See the error?

should've been:

Thanks for asking. Let me know if you see a better way to do the above
though, I am pretty new to using classes, but I am pretty handy when it
comes to functions. :D

I was hoping I could change my CSS on the fly without having to reload page... but after doing more research, I think that a page refresh is best way to go. All the Ajax/PHP examples i have seen deal with elements on page (in this case i have PHP script in head that changes my css)... Still new to Ajax and XMLHTTP... I know how to handle JS, but I am way more comfortable with PHP. Not too many examps on the web that show some good techniques for calling PHP functions to manipulate CSS that I could find. I am also not a big fan of plugging-in a huge Ajax scripting library(ies) for something as simple as calling a PHP script to manipulate CSS. I would prefer simple on the JS end of things and make it more about PHP without a page refresh. :D Lol, hope that makes sense...

[PHP] preg_replace_callback(), how to pass function argument/param?
Hi,
This is probably simple to answer for most of ya'll, but...
preg_replace_callback($f, 'mah_processTags', $text);
Besides the matches, how would I pass function args/param to
mah_processTags()?
For example, I would like to do something like this:
preg_replace_callback($f, 'mah_processTags($arg1)', $text);
function mah_processTags($matches, $arg1) { ... }
Is this even possible? I just want to pass-in $arg1 along with the
matches. :)
Possible?
Many thanks in advance!!!
Cheers,

[PHP] mod_rewrite q's: syntax?
Hi all... sorry if this is OT for PHP list... Maybe a reply off-list?
I just wanted to share my .htaccess file in the hopes that I can
hone/fool-proof-a-tize it as much as possible via your feedback and
suggestions.
Here is what I got so far...
I start by turning-on error reporting, then I am converting all non www
traffic to www traffic, and I finish things up by removing index.php from
the site url...
[code] --
# Turn-on PHP error messaging:
php_value display_errors 1
php_value error_reporting 2047
# Power-up the rewrite engine:
RewriteEngine on
# Redirect all non-www traffic:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.mydomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=permanent,L]
# Remove index.php from url:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [L]
-- [/code]
What I want to do:
I would like to use mod_rewrite to forward all requests for
http://www.mydomain.com (or http://mydomain.com) to
www.mydomain.com/folder/file.php
Questions:
1. How is my code looking so far? Any potential pitfalls that you can see?
2. Can I combine the conditions and rules into one, more compact, script?
3. Any suggestions on how I would go about adding-in a rule/condition to
redirect users to com/folder/file.php as stated above?
Many TIA,
Sorry if OT.
Cheers,
Micky

Do you need to do it with a mod_rewrite?
if not, you can do it easily in php:
header('location: folder/file.php');
exit();
in index.php.
Unfortunately, yes... I am using a CMS, and my current setup is forcing me
into using the more complicated mod_rewrite.
Well, not that it is a bad thing... seems like mod_rewrite is more
search-engine/bot friendly.

Not to be contrary, but: What about when you are speaking in terms of computers, and specifically images? Seems like if the subject is images on the computer, rotation falls more closely to rotating on an axis and not changing of images. For example, I was driving down the road the other day, and I saw temporary road construction sign that said Road Const ahead. Now, my first thought was Constant as in C++. But, wait, this is not programing, this is driving, and they must mean Construction. As a graphic designer maybe I have some bias... I when I use Photoshop I do not think of Rotation as moving images from the front of the stack to the back of the stack (if I have a bunch open)...

[PHP] PHP running as CGI? How to set x.php as index page?
PHP gurus I need your help! I worked on a small site for a client who uses a host that I think has PHP running as or under CGI (not much experience with this type of setup personally.) Long story short, this host really sucks... they are very restrictive... I guess understandably so, but it is frustrating from a developer perspective -- for example, no .htaccess to edit... is this because of the CGI setup (assuming yes)? Well, my question: Anyone know of a way to set a non index.php page as the index? Normally I would use the .htaccess file to do this, but unfortunately the server blows-up when one is uploaded. Can I drop a CGI script into my cgi-bin folder to do similar .htaccess things? For example, I would love to make sure all my non-www (http://domain.com) traffic is routed to http://www.domain.com -- I could easily do this with my .htaccess file... Can that, or setting a default index page, be done with a CGI script(s)?

[PHP] Re: PHP running as CGI? How to set x.php as index page?
Hi Mike, thanks for the help, I really appreciate your time. :)

It's not a PHP trick, but it should work for you, even with restrictions.
Definitely a good option. Actually, that is close to what I am doing now:
?php
#header(Refresh: 0; URL=http://www.domain.com/start.php?page=home;);
/* Old technique. */
require('http://www.domain.com/start.php?page=home'); /* Current
technique. */
?
I chose to use require() for SEO purposes... I think Google tends to
frown upon header redirects and/or refreshes... but require() has become
slightly problematic for other reasons... I think the bottom line is
that this host sucks... need to make a switch. :D
Thanks for the tip, I greatly appreciate your help.
Cheers,
Micky

[PHP] Dreamhost! PHP as CGI!???
I think I just read that PHP is ran as CGI on Dreamhost... this does not sound good. Can anyone confirm? What do you all think? Good? Bad? I have dealt with one other server that did this (PHP as CGI) and I hated it! I just bought a years worth of hosting... I have a trial period so I think I can still cancel. Should I stick with it or find a host that runs PHP under Apache? Please advise. (FYI: Using Expression Engine for CMS/blog -- I read that it is recommended to use EE with PHP not as CGI.) Many thanks in advance!

Hi Tijnema! Thanks for the quick reply, I really appreciate the help. :) Tijnema ! wrote: Google tells me that it is an optional feature to run PHP as CGI, default it is running under apache. Atleast that's what i found for dreamhost. Ah, from what I am reading, it sounds like that used to be the option, and may still be a feature for older users... but (from what I understand, which is not much) PHP 5 is CGI only: DreamHost currently allows several PHP configurations. In the user Control Panel you can choose between PHP4 and PHP5 running as a CGI application (with optional FastCGI support). While it's no longer officially supported you currently still have the possibility to have PHP running as an Apache module (mod_php). Finally you have the option to compile your own custom PHP with the exact version of PHP you wish and with any module you require. http://php.dreamhosters.com/ Hmmm, I guess it sounds like I can setup things to use the Apache module, but they make it sound so evil: If one of those is a show-stopper for you, you can easily switch to running PHP as an Apache module and not CGI, but be prepared for a bunch of potential security and ease-of-use issues! http://blog.dreamhosters.com/kbase/index.cgi?area=2933 Looks like I have a ton of reading to do... Unfortunately I am more of a designer than I am a system administrator... so not sure if messing with PHP on my DH account is worth the headache. :( I have just had bad experiences in past with PHP as CGI...

Sorry, server stuff is not my forte. Not *that* terrible at all, but if you've only been with Dreamhost for a few days you've got far worse things to experience yet IMHO (shoddy uptime, shoddy servers, shoddy network, etc) Lol, funny you should mention that... Within a few days of getting an account, my server went down with a bunch of other folks... I guess it was a DOS attack or something. www.pair.com runs PHP 4 as an Apache Module, and are a superb host (I've used them since 1996) - but even better in the next few weeks they rollout PHP 5.2.1 as standard on all servers. Can't wait :) Oooh, excellent. Actually, I had other folks suggest Pair too. Only reason why my client and I picked DH was the price. I guess I get what I pay for.

[PHP] Template class: Simple question
Hello, I have a couple classes that generate navigation and a few other dynamic xHTML template-based things... What is standard practice for calling your template classes? In other words: Is it good practice to create the class object for every page view, or is there a better way to cache the object? I am using PHP 4.x. Any good tips and/or tutorials out there that cover this type of thing? Basically I am trying to get away from using includes and/or simple function calls. Sorry if silly question... I am kinda new to classes and how best to use them. TIA!

[PHP] Script feedback: insert string into another string
Hi,
I pieced-together a script that will insert a string into another string
at a set interval of words... See here:
http://www.ambiguism.com/sandbox/truncate/truncate.php
[Click the view source link to view source.] :D
Basically, I need a setup a page where my client can paste an article,
automate the insertion of a template tag (in this case: {page_break})
and then copy/paste into the blog/cms. My goal for this script was to
make it easy for the CMS to create word-balanced pages.
Long story short, I got what I think will be an acceptable script... but
I would love to get feedback. What do you think? What can I improve?
What am I doing wrong?
The script does not need to be super-robust, but would love to hear what
the PHP gurus have to say. ;)
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Micky

Nice idea, but it seems that it isn't working correctly. I did this
example:
?php
for($x = 0; $x 100; $x++) { $string .= abc; }
echo break_up($string, 10, ||);
?
With your break_up function. It results this:
...snip...
While i expected this:
.../snip...
Ahh! Great way to test this!
I thought I noticed a problem, but did not put two-and-two together due
to the huge string I was using... The way you simplified things really
made that error clear. Thanks for the help on this! :)
And i found where the problem is, it is this line:
$num += $num; // Set next number flag to look for.
This works only for one time, but after that, it doubles whole time,
so in above example, $num would go like this:
10
20
40
80
Doh! Great catch! I should have printed that var out... Hehe, I am such
a noob!
So to fix, replace this part of the code:
...snip...
with this:
...snip...
That's it.
Woot! Looks good to me. I moved the script to a new location with a more
fitting name:
http://www.ambiguism.com/sandbox/insert/insert.php
Your test code is at bottom of that page. ;)
Nice, I am stoked! Thanks again for the help, I owe you one. :D
