Description:

I have found a bug on page function.stream-context-create.html
[chm date: 2005-12-01]...

The new parameter max_redirects limits the number of redirects to 20.

It is unclear if, without this value set, or for versions of PHP which
this setting is inappropriate, if redirects are followed forever or at
all; 0 or infinity.

As this setting only LIMITS the redirects, it does not control whether
to follow them or not, though NOT can be implemented by setting the
value to 0.


I tried looking at the source (quick search in LXR first) and could
find no reference to max_redirects, though I did find CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS
in the CURL extension. I did a search on request_fulluri (the setting
immediately before max_redirects in the manual) and this was found in
http_fopen_wrapper.c

I then did a check for php_stream_context_get_option and none of the
finds related to the HTTP protocol with the max_redirects option and
considering this is now settable by a user, I was expecting this to be
the case.

From what I can tell, the 20 is hard-coded and cannot be altered by
setting max_redicts in the context.

Description:

E_STRICT errors are passed to a custom error handler when the errors
appear in an included file.

The documentation for set_error_handler() clearly states that The
following error types cannot be handled with a user defined function:
E_ERROR, E_PARSE, E_CORE_ERROR, E_CORE_WARNING, E_COMPILE_ERROR,
E_COMPILE_WARNING, and E_STRICT.

This is true, if the error occurs in the same file as the error
handler, but when a file which triggers an E_STRICT warning is
included, PHP passes the error to the custom error handler. As this
only happens when including an erroneous file, I'm reporting this bug
as a Scripting Engine problem, and not a Documentation problem.

I've tested this on the latest 5.1.0 (200502101130) development
snapshot.

Reproduce code:
---
errorhandler.php:
?php
function errorHandler($severity, $message, $file = null, $line = null,
$context = array())
{
static $severityMap = array(
E_ERROR = 'E_ERROR',
E_WARNING   = 'E_WARNING',
E_PARSE = 'E_PARSE',
E_NOTICE= 'E_NOTICE',
E_CORE_ERROR= 'E_CORE_ERROR',
E_CORE_WARNING  = 'E_CORE_WARNING',
E_COMPILE_ERROR = 'E_COMPILE_ERROR',
E_COMPILE_WARNING   = 'E_COMPILE_WARNING',
E_USER_ERROR= 'E_USER_ERROR',
E_USER_WARNING  = 'E_USER_WARNING',
E_USER_NOTICE   = 'E_USER_NOTICE',
E_STRICT= 'E_STRICT'
);

echo 'strong' . __METHOD__ . ': PHP Error with severity ' .
$severityMap[$severity] . '(' . $severity . ') raised: ' . $message .
/strongbr /;
}

set_error_handler('errorHandler');

include 'strict.php';
?

strict.php:
?php
class Foo {
public function __construct() { }
public function Foo() { }
}
?

Expected result:

Strict Standards: Redefining already defined constructor for class Foo
in strict.php on line 4

Actual result:
--
errorHandler: PHP Error with severity E_STRICT(2048) raised: Redefining
already defined constructor for class Foo

[PHP-DOC] #31919 [Opn]: E_STRICT errors are passed to custom error handler

 Reported By:  joh at deworks dot net
 Status:   Open
 Bug Type: Documentation problem

 New Comment:

It all depends on how you define consistent...

The E_STRICT gets passed on to a custom error handler if the custom
error handler is defined when it's thrown.  Currently all E_STRICT
errors are thrown at compile time, for the main page compilation
happens before the set_error_handler() can ever be called.  For the
included files this (may) be after the error handler is defined.

Additionally, future E_STRICT errors may be thrown at run time so you
could even see them in a main file at some point.

Lastly, it doesn't make sense to go out of the way to forcibly mask
errors when they can be caught.

If you want to avoid it in your own code, just use the optional second
parameter to set_error_handler() and make the behavior match your
definition of consistency.

[2005-02-11 15:54:58] joh at deworks dot net

How can this be a documentation problem when the script behaves as
expected, and as documented, when the code triggering the E_STRICT
appears inside the same file as the set_error_handler() call, but not
when it is included from another file? What we have here is conflicting
behaviour, and updating the documentation is not going to fix it
(because E_STRICT errors are not handled by a custom error handler when
they appear in the same file as the set_error_handler()).

[PHP-DOC] #29045 [Sus]: gzopen for URL

2004-07-07 Thread pollita
 ID:   29045
 Updated by:   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 New Comment:

Wez needs to chime in on this...  

I stated that it wouldn't work for http (with or without the patch)
because I thought we had disabled shrinking the chunk_size to 1 while
reading into the HTTP headers (for performance reasons).  Looking back
at the code I see that the temporary shift into small chuck sizes *IS*
enabled when the STREAM_WILL_CAST flag is set (which it is for the zlib
fopen wrapper).

Maybe it was the conditional set based on the option flag that was the
compromise... in which case I'd say: Go ahead and use
fopen('compress.zlib://http://blah...',... but the patch provided for
gzopen() seems completely unnecessary.




Previous Comments:


[2004-07-07 16:16:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

compress.zlib://http://host.file.gz should work fine in php 4, not?

include compress.zlib://file.php.gz; works too ;-)



[2004-07-07 16:12:31] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

compress.zlib://host/path isn't actually valid.

What is valid however (as of PHP5) is:

$fp = fopen('http://host/path/file.gz', 'r');
/* Maybe a small fread() here to consume gzip headers, I don't recall
if they're sent with deflated content */
stream_filter_append($fp, 'zlib.inflate');

Note: For PHP 5.0 you need PECL package zlib_filter, it'll be rolled
into the core in PHP 5.1 .

The patch supplied above needs further review as I see a big potential
for zlib stream errors with the read buffer blocks that come in with
the headers.



[2004-07-07 14:39:51] fcartegnie at nordnet dot fr

compress.zlib://http:// seems to work

Maybe we could add some deprecation/pointer info in the documentation
of gzopen()

Changing for documentation problem



[2004-07-07 14:33:40] fcartegnie at nordnet dot fr

I did not see this syntax in the documentation.

fopen(compress.zlib://host.com/file.gz)
How would you specify HTTP or FTP ?



[2004-07-07 13:09:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why not use fopen(compress.zlib://host.com/file.gz) and all the other
normal file operations?

[PHP-DOC] #28497 [Opn-Csd]: Disabling allow_url_fopen via httpd.conf has no effect

 New Comment:

The documentation was incorrect.  allow_url_fopen is meant to be a
security feature for allowing the system administrator to completely
prohibit the use of url fopen wrappers.  To allow it to be overridden
with a simple ini_set() would negate that purpose.

The documentation sources have been updated to read PHP_INI_SYSTEM and
should show as such in the next build of the online manual.

[2004-05-23 21:15:32] iwonderiftheyllpostthistoapublicnewsgrou

Description:

To improve security against poor coding I wish to disable
allow_url_fopen by default and allow users who have a legitimate need
for it to enable it themselves via use of .htaccess or ini_set(). Given
that allow_url_fopen is listed as PHP_INI_ALL in the docs I thought
this would be relatively easy, however I am unable to make it work:

Having allow_url_fopen off in php.ini disables it completely - the user
cannot activate it via .htaccess or ini_set(). So I tried to use
php_flag allow_url_fopen off in my httpd.conf to turn it off by
default. However this has no effect at all and users can happily use
URL-fopen functions without turning it on. Using php_admin_flag instead
of php_flag disables it entirely as if set via php.ini.

There appears to be no middle-ground here that lets the user control
use of this function instead of everybody or nobody having access.

Reproduce code:
---
httpd.conf
--
php_flag allow_url_fopen off

test.php

?php
echo phere is file:/p;
readfile(http://www.r1ch.net/ohno;);
ini_set (allow_url_fopen, 1);
echo phere is more file:/p;
readfile(http://www.r1ch.net/ohno;);
?



Expected result:

here is file:

Warning: readfile(): URL file-access is disabled in the server
configuration in /.../test.php on line 2

here is more file:

Actually you can.



What you can't do is define() (read redefine) a constant more than
once.  That's why it's called a constant.

It'd be nice, but because of the way the transports layer operates it
won't happen without making exceptions on a per protocol basis and
that's gernerally not a good idea.

As to the documentation, the source has been updated, but the online
manual is only rebuilt from source on a periodic basis.

The change amounts to:

$server = stream_socket_server('udp://0.0.0.0:13/', $errno, $errstr,
STREAM_SERVER_BIND);

Isn't it better to let php define those flags then, based on the socket
type (udp/tcp).

I don't see any change in the example either ...



[2004-01-27 23:27:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

udp:// sockets should not attempt to listen().  Because
stream_socket_server() uses both the bind and listen flags by default
you need to explicitly set them to bind only.

I've fixed the example to reflect this.

As the behavior of gzpassthru changed, the docs for this func should be
updated.



[2003-11-24 18:36:30] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Thanks... gzpassthru()'s behavior changed slightly with the
introduction of streams.  The next build of the manual will have it
showing an explicit gzclose();

changing to the correct status



[2003-05-06 14:29:26] vakmajom at freemail dot hu

Why it is a Windows bug? Because RAND_MAX is not 2147483647?
Alrigth then.
But the documentation should also mention that you must not call
rand(min, max) or mt_rand(min, max)
if (max-min  2147483647) (on unix systems you get a Warning message
(tested with PHP 4.1.0), but on Windows systems mt_rand(-2147483648,
2147483647) simply returns
-2147483648, without any warning message - as I explained.



[2003-04-26 16:56:07] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Actually the docs should mention this.  Reclassifying and opening back
up.



[2003-04-26 16:55:38] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After discussion it looks like PHP won't be getting into the business
of fixing windows bugs :)

As you suggested the best bet is to stick with mt_rand() to get the
resulution you're looking for.



[2003-04-18 00:03:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can see where you were going with that, unfortunately it has the
unexpected result of simply chaning the bug so that only *odd* numbers
get returned

I'm still thinking over this one and hope you give it some more thought
too :)

I've added the following example as well as a See Also link to
ftp_raw() which acts the way your reproduce code was expecting
ftp_site() to act.


?php
/* Connect to FTP server */
$conn = ftp_connect('ftp.example.com');
if (!$conn) die('Unable to connect to ftp.example.com');

/* Login as user with password pass */
if (!ftp_login($conn, 'user', 'pass')) die('Error logging into

/* Issue: SITE CHMOD 0600 /home/user/privatefile command to ftp

Description:

the docs do not specify that the SITE command is not supposed to be
included in the second argument.

This could be qualified with an example.

ftp_site( $conn_id, CHMOD 755 filename );



Reproduce code:
---
ftp_site( $conn_id, SITE CHMOD 755 filename );

fails since it sends 
SITE SITE...
to the server.

I'm having this problem on Redhat 7.3/PHP4.3.2

On our forum software (vBulletin) members profiles are showing
Dec-31-1969 for people born before 1970.



[2003-02-25 23:54:21] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please do not use all for the OS field unless you know for certain
that it affects all platforms equally.

Most of the datetime related functions (strftime included) are
dependent on what support exists in the libraries on the running
system.  An example of this variable behavior is the time() function
which returns values from -2147483648 to 2147483647 on most unix
platforms, but only returns positive values under windows.

On your platform, strftime() only accepts positive values.  That is not
to say that strftime only accepts positive values on all platforms. 
Have you tried date()?

The strftime manual page already has a warning stating that not all
format specifiers are supported on all platforms, perhaps that should
be extended to warn of inconsistent support for timestamp values.



[2003-01-14 23:16:48] wolfandreas at yahoo dot de

Situation:
The function strftime does return false for negative unix-timestamps.

Problem:
The functions mktime and strtotime return negative values for dates
before 1970-01-01 00:00 UT.
Many users try something like:

strftime($format,strtotime($date_before_1970))

and wonder why this does not work.

If the behavior for timestamps before second 0 
(start of Jan 1., 1970 UT) is undefined why do all other time
functions
return negative values ?
The documentation for strftime does not say anything about negative
values for timestamps, too.

Solution:
Let strftime return values (Gregorian calendar) for negative
timestamps.
(Perhaps there should be a warning ?)

This report is the same as bug #12385, but with getmxrr()'s real-world
implementation it seems to need reconsideration.  The only email
address validation on many sites == whether or not getmxrr() returns
TRUE.

I'm not too concerned with the politics of who should handle this
behavior, but with the usage of getmxrr() for address verification
purposes in the PHP world, I don't believe it should wait for the
appropriate fixes in the appropriate locations.

You can find an amateur fix for this behavior at
http://aene.ma.cx/php-4.3.1-getmxrr.diff

From RFC 974 ... It is possible that the list of MXs in the response to
the query will be empty.  This is a special case. If the list is empty,
mailers should treat it as if it contained one RR, an MX RR with a
preference value of 0, and a host name of REMOTE.  (I.e., REMOTE is its
only MX).  In addition, the mailer should do no further processing on
the   list, but should attempt to deliver the message to REMOTE.  The
idea here is that if a domain fails to advertise any information about
a particular name we will give it the benefit of the doubt and attempt
delivery.

getmxrr() returns FALSE when the MX list is empty.  The simple code
below can be used for verification.

if ( getmxrr( php.net, $array ) ) { var_dump( $array ); }
if ( getmxrr( aene.ma.cx, $array ) ) { var_dump( $array ); }

PHP Manual (version 13-01-2003)
 
Warning: mktime() [function.mktime.html]: Windows does not support
negative values for this function
This is not noted in the referenced manual page, in fact examples of
how it can be used are given instead.

Presumably Windows users need a test like:
if (PHP_OS==WIN32)
code_your_own_mktime(...);  // when negative values are to be used
else
mktime(...);// Unix is OKAY with negative values

:-) from your friendly code_your_own dept...

[PHP-DOC] #21646 [Opn]: Strftime: negative timestamps

2003-02-25 Thread pollita
 ID:   21646
 Updated by:   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Reported By:  wolfandreas at yahoo dot de
 Status:   Open
-Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
+Bug Type: Documentation problem
 Operating System: all
 PHP Version:  4.3.0
 New Comment:

Please do not use all for the OS field unless you know for certain
that it affects all platforms equally.

Most of the datetime related functions (strftime included) are
dependent on what support exists in the libraries on the running
system.  An example of this variable behavior is the time() function
which returns values from -2147483648 to 2147483647 on most unix
platforms, but only returns positive values under windows.

On your platform, strftime() only accepts positive values.  That is not
to say that strftime only accepts positive values on all platforms. 
Have you tried date()?

The strftime manual page already has a warning stating that not all
format specifiers are supported on all platforms, perhaps that should
be extended to warn of inconsistent support for timestamp values.

Situation:
The function strftime does return false for negative unix-timestamps.

Problem:
The functions mktime and strtotime return negative values for dates
before 1970-01-01 00:00 UT.
Many users try something like:

strftime($format,strtotime($date_before_1970))

and wonder why this does not work.

If the behavior for timestamps before second 0 
(start of Jan 1., 1970 UT) is undefined why do all other time
functions
return negative values ?
The documentation for strftime does not say anything about negative
values for timestamps, too.

Solution:
Let strftime return values (Gregorian calendar) for negative
timestamps.
(Perhaps there should be a warning ?)

[PHP-DOC] Re: preg_replace() docs need expliot warning

2003-02-07 Thread pollita
While I'm..*grossly* against the /e switch (or eval()s in general) at
all (and its use with tainted sources even moreso), I realize my whinning
and moaning isn't going to change the fact /e and eval() exist and are used.
But here's a thought...

How about a /E switch to preg_replace which would function like /e except
that it temporarily enables safe_mode.  Similarly eval() could be extended
with a second parameter that does the same.  I realize safe_mode is
generally intended for sysadmins to protect themselves from malicious
content authors, but why not use this functionality at the content level to
protect from malicious clients?

There *might* be a need to have an eval.* version of the safe_mode ini
options to specify how much is (dis)allowed when in eval-safe_mode.  I
havn't thought through the implications of doing this, but it seems worth
exploring.

 Just one more example.  Even when using double quotes, it
 is possible to execute code:

 ?php
   $a = '___! ${`rm -rf /tmp/sess_*`} !___';
   $b = preg_replace(/!(.*)!/e, print(\\\1\);, $a);
 ?

 Again, assume $a comes from a tainted source.

  There is a high potential for exploitable PHP code if a
  programmer uses the /e modifier and does not use quotes
  around the back references (backrefs).  Without quotes,
  arbitrary commands may be executed by using the backtick
  operator.  Other commands may be executed as well, but are
  more difficult, since addslashes() prevents the characters
  ['\\\0] from being used.
 
  An clear and explicit warning should be added to the doc
  page for preg_replace, indicating the backrefs must always
  be quoted.  Single quotes are preferable, since double
  quotes allow variable expansion.
 
  See the messages below for examples of how this may be
  exploited.  (Assume that $a comes from an untrusted source,
  i.e. a get/post/cookie/header variable.)

  Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] preg_replace oddity [exploitable]
 
  I found a more evil example:
 
  ?php
$a = ___! `rm -rf /tmp/sess_*` !___;
$b = preg_replace(/!(.*)!/e, print(\\1);, $a);
  ?
 
  This happily executes rm -rf /tmp/sess_*.  I will not
  give out more examples, but if one examines the code for
  addslashes() it is quite obvious what you can an cannot do
  here.  Thus it is clearly a Bad Thing for someone to use
  preg_replace with the /e modifier and not use quotes around
  the \\n or $n backrefs.
 
  The docs should be updated to include a very noticeable
  warning about this hole.  I am contemplating possible
  solutions for this problem...
 
  Also as a side note, it does not seem to be possible to use
  'echo' as part of the expression, print must be used.  (Yes
  I know why, just pointing it out.)

   I understand that one is supposed to use single quotes

   if you put something like echo(\42 in $a, then you get a
   bunch of errors including:
 Fatal error - Failed evaluating code:

   It seems like preg_replace() is doing some strange things,
   and might be something that could be exploitable if a
   remote user can supply the first argument, and the second

As you state, this calling convention is not supported.  The reason
relates to how the Zend engine parses PHP syntax and will not change in
the forseeable future.  However, there is cleaner way to accomplish
what you're attempting without using eval().

Try:

  return call_user_func(array($varclassname,'function'));

I notice that the documentation for call_user_func fails to note the
ability to call static class methods in this way(changing category to
documentation problem) and have added an additional paragraph and
explanation explaining this.

The comma `:' in the first line of code is supposed to be a double
comma `::'



[2002-10-31 15:34:41] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Using

$var_classname:function();

throws up a parse error. This was probably not a feature intended to be
included rather than a bug. Currently I have a workaround using this:

print eval(return .$var_classname.::function(););

Would like to see it implemented in a future version if possible :)

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The replacment is done in the order the array was created, if you want
it to be done based on array keys that run an appropriate sorting
function before executing the preg_replace function.

The search strings used in the preg_replace() function are regular
expressions. [abc] is a regular expression which matches any of the
characters a, b or c.

I have *NOT* experienced this requirement with PHP installed as a CGI

Some research needs to be done to determine when and why it is
necessary.

Is this modification specific to (required for) IIS 5 and not IIS 4? 
Even so, does adding it still allow IIS 4 to work with PHP CGI?  

This %s %s information appears in the user comments as well but needs
to be put in the manual :)

Link: How do I configure Microsoft IIS 4.0/IIS 5.0 to support Perl



[2003-01-22 22:07:42] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

?php phpinfo(); ?

This line produced the No input file output
after I configured PHP on IIS 5.0 by following
each step of installation instructions (I decided
to configure PHP to work as a CGI script, not SAPI )

After several
tries I understood what the problem is. I have an
experience in Perl programming under Linux and Windows
and I remembered that Active Perl 5.6 installation
script adds not only the script name in Add/Edit Application Extension
Mapping dialog but also adds
%s %s to the end.

Quote from the ActiveState Perl installation docs:

To run Perl as a CGI application, type the full path to Perl.exe
followed by %s %s. When a script is executed, the first %s will be
replaced by the full path to the script, and the second %s will be
replaced by the script parameters.

This applies only to CGI mode. For ISAPI mode there is no need in these
additional %s %s at the end.

So I suggest that installation guide may be
corrected like this:

--- text ---

 Windows NT/2000/XP and IIS 4 or newer and PWS 4 on NT Workstation or
W2K non server editions

--- text ---

   If you want to use the CGI binary, do the following:
   Under 'Home Directory', 'Virtual Directory', or
   'Directory', click on the 'Configuration' button,
   and then enter the App Mappings tab.

   Click Add, and in the Executable box, type:
   c:\php\php.exe %s %s (assuming that you have unzipped PHP in
c:\php\).

--- text ---

And thats it!

Here is also a URL to ActiveState website where I found the explanation
for this %s spells :-)))

Well, this is it. Everything else is working fine!

'{$1}' or {\$1}



[2002-01-24 11:27:17] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I tried the syntax {$1} with PHP 4.1.1 as below:
1/
$test=preg_replace(/(\!DOCTYPE\s+map\s+SYSTEM\s+\http:\/\/)[^\/]+/i,{$1}$servname:$servport,$test);


It gives me the following error:
Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_VARIABLE' or `'$'' in
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\bug2.php on line 33

2/ Escaping the first brace:
$test=preg_replace(/(\!DOCTYPE\s+map\s+SYSTEM\s+\http:\/\/)[^\/]+/i,\{$1}$servname:$servport,$test);


The result is the following one:
test2 RESULT  :{!DOCTYPE map SYSTEM
http://}10.0.9.91:81/Gui/dtd/deployment/dbmap.dtd;
It is escaping properly the 1 contained in $servername but keep the
braces.

3/ The only way I found to escape $servername is by using the value 99
as follow:
$test=preg_replace(/(\!DOCTYPE\s+map\s+SYSTEM\s+\http:\/\/)[^\/]+/i,\\1\\99$servname:$servport,$test);

991 is not taken because of the limitation to 99 different strings. I
just need to make sure I am not using 99 different parentheses which is
pretty huge.




[2002-01-22 17:26:53] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You'd either need to escape the number after your reference, ie: \\1\1
or if you're using PHP 4.0.4 or later, you can use {$1} in the
replacement portion of preg_replace (see documentation).



[2002-01-22 15:00:59] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What do you think about the following suggestions:

A/ Counting how many string are enclosed by parentheses.
preg_replace(/(..)test()/,\\110.0.0.173,$test);
= expecting 2 strings enclosed
Then parse the value following \\ and keep only the one lower than the
max expected.
Expecting 2:
\\1 OK
\\11 TOO high, keep \\1

I do not know what the impact might be in term of performance.
= Implementing a way to escape might be faster.

B/ Using a different notation to escape the string following \\1 (brace
for example)
preg_replace(/(..)test()/,\\{1}10.0.0.173,$test);

Thanks for your prompt answer, that was quick :-)



[2002-01-22 14:44:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

\\11 matches the 11th string enclosed by parenthesis.
Can't find anything about escaping it. Reclassified as a documentation
problem.

Attention : Keep in mind that when you want whether there is substring
into string it is better to use strpos()
than to use strstr(). Most times users has problems to differentiate
the cases where the substring is found at position 0
and in the case where it is not found. 

Example 2:
$needle = I love;
$haystack = I love PHP!;
//using strstr() - bad - exhaust of memory and cpu
if (strstr($haystack, $needle)){
// found
}
//using strpos() - good no exhaust of memory
if (strpos($haystack, $needle) === TRUE){
// found
}
-=-=-=-=-= End of example.



[2002-08-02 11:43:56] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Feel free to write the part you would like to see, submit it to this
bug, and it will hopefully (probably) be added to the documentation.



[2002-08-02 09:00:23] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Is it possible more information to be added to the docs of strstr()
that it is better to look if there is needle in a haystack by using
strpos() - in bold. Even small example.

Regards,
Andrey Hristov

The meat of /php4/ext/standard/file.c::fgetc() hasn't changed since rev
1.1  It's just too simple not to be binary safe.

The first post suggests fgetc() is binary safe, anyone know since when?
 Marking this as open until it's documented.



[2002-10-19 17:57:51] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is fgetc() binary safe now too?  Only fgets() has been documented as
such thus far.  fgetc() lacks documention on the matter altogether.

Helly-

  Are you (or someone else) planning on committing that patch? I see
you wrote it against rev 1.193, but zend.c is up to 1.205 and the old
code (using ZEND_ERROR_BUFFER_SIZE) is still there.  I'd like to put a
note on trigger_error()s doc page, but if it is indeed going to be
patched (with PHP 5.0)the note should also say that.

  Although I just noticed you don't have karma for ZE2 either :) 
Anyone else intending to apply this patch or something similar?

trigger_error silently truncates your error after 1024 chars
(ZEND_ERROR_BUFFER_SIZE in the source).  I didn't see this documented
anywhere, so I'm reporting it as a documentation problem.  I'd rather
it be changed to take unlimited length strings than documented, but
documenting it would be a good first step.

Actually there are some problems with that patch (re: Derick/Iliaa). 
For the present time trigger_error will continue to only accept 1024
character messages.  Documentation updated to reflect limit.


Previous Comments:


[2003-01-20 14:41:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The attached patch is not valid, cause a) it doesn't work (it keeps
limiting at 1024 bytes) b) vspprintf is in PHP space, not Zend and c)
it might be a bad idea to have unlimited error lenghts because it might
be exploited in someway.

All functions that requrie unsigned int may be affected.

BTW, PostgreSQL OID is free from this restriction, since I changed
source to use string if value is larger than 2^31. So postgreSQL
document can be left as is.




[2002-08-08 17:01:31] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Reopened this. This should definitly be documented! On ip2long
documentation it is, on crc32 it is not. Which other functions are
affected by this?

This is because you are using 2 different architectures, on X86 (AMD
k6) ints are 32 bit, but on Compaq Tru64 (ALpha EV68) they are 64 bit.
Since PHP uses signed ints you got a negative number on X86 where
signed ints are limited to 2147483647 and your result is 3 billion.

If you explicitly tell PHP to output an unsigned number it will work
correctly.

printf(%u, ip2long('192.168.0.1'));
-
3232235521

Same logic applies to your crc, example.

Parser is analizador in spanish, so in the part named

You have:

[2002-11-12 07:41:26] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

this is a PHP 3 only feature 
that noone ever ported to PHP 4 ...

with 4.3 you will be able to read
the PUT data from the php://input stream

as the $PHP_PUT stuff in PHP 3 seems to
be something almost never used and as 
the new streams solution is so easy to 
use i think it is not worth to port the
PHP 3 feature here ...

in 4.3 you will be able to just do a

$in = fopen(php://input,rb);
$out = fopen($outfile,wb);
while(!feof($in)) {
  fwrite($out, fread($in, $bufsize));
}
fclose($in);
fclose($out);

no nead to deal with temporary files,
no disk space wasted when the script
doesn't need the PUT data, and the
approach is not limited to PUT requests
but will work with all HTTP methods
carrying content

changed to documentation problem



[2002-05-13 08:27:02] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just wanted to drop a note about a test I've done:

I tried a simple perl script getting the PUT file and it worked.

Calling the same script through PHP yields no file meaning that PHP
does something the uploaded file since the perlscript used by itself
works and then called through PHP does'nt.



[2002-05-09 07:55:50] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you find the temporary file variable I would be much obliged if you
could drop me a line.

BTW I was thinking would'nt it be better to have the PUT values in the
superglobal $_FILES ? Or at least in a $HTTP_PUT_FILE var.

A possible solution could be something like the following:

$HTTP_PUT_FILE['request_uri']
Path of the proposed upload like /mytest/filename.htm

$HTTP_PUT_FILE['path_translated']
The full path of the proposed upload like
/usr/home/foo/bar/public_html/mytest/filename.htm

$HTTP_PUT_FILE['size']
The size, in bytes, of the uploaded file. 

$HTTP_PUT_FILE['tmp_name']
Temp name something like /tmp/hfdhjfufd8733

My only bad is that I cant program in C otherwise I would have been
there doing it already.



[2002-05-08 09:44:42] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Current status on this is that I ignored it for a while - 
I am taking a look at it again.

changed to documentation problem



[2002-05-13 08:27:02] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just wanted to drop a note about a test I've done:

I tried a simple perl script getting the PUT file and it worked.

Calling the same script through PHP yields no file meaning that PHP
does something the uploaded file since the perlscript used by itself
works and then called through PHP does'nt.



[2002-05-09 07:55:50] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you find the temporary file variable I would be much obliged if you
could drop me a line.

BTW I was thinking would'nt it be better to have the PUT values in the
superglobal $_FILES ? Or at least in a $HTTP_PUT_FILE var.

A possible solution could be something like the following:

$HTTP_PUT_FILE['request_uri']
Path of the proposed upload like /mytest/filename.htm

$HTTP_PUT_FILE['path_translated']
The full path of the proposed upload like
/usr/home/foo/bar/public_html/mytest/filename.htm

$HTTP_PUT_FILE['size']
The size, in bytes, of the uploaded file. 

$HTTP_PUT_FILE['tmp_name']
Temp name something like /tmp/hfdhjfufd8733

My only bad is that I cant program in C otherwise I would have been
there doing it already.

Current status on this is that I ignored it for a while - 
I am taking a look at it again.

[PHP-DOC] #20843 [Opn]: Alt text in documentation pages hamper accessibility

Agreed, this violates accessability standards.

Reclassified as a documentation problem as change needs to be made in
the phpweb build process.

On documentation pages such as
http://www.php.net/manual/en/funcref.php
in the left column the sections are listed and have a graphical bullet
point in front of them.

These graphical bullet points have the section name as the alt text.
When browsing without images all this does is make each section title
appear twice (once as the image alt text and once as the actual text
that follows it) and it looks very wierd.

A better alt text would be the middot entity or nothing at all.

For reference I noticed this when trying to access the page in small
screen rendering mode as provided in Opera 7 for Windows beta which
mimics how pages look on the version of Opera for small screen devices
(ie mobile phones) they make.

Hello, 
I answer questions on a php help bbs (www.phpworld.com).  
One of the most common problems reported is that the users 
don't know why their database calls are not working.  
Usually they have copied the code right out of the 
examples (e.g. mysql_connect()), which do not utilize 
mysql_error().  I was wondering if these examples could be 
changed to use mysql_error() and thus reduce newbie 
confusion. 
Thank you for your time.

this is a PHP 3 only feature 
that noone ever ported to PHP 4 ...

with 4.3 you will be able to read
the PUT data from the php://input stream

as the $PHP_PUT stuff in PHP 3 seems to
be something almost never used and as 
the new streams solution is so easy to 
use i think it is not worth to port the
PHP 3 feature here ...

in 4.3 you will be able to just do a

$in = fopen(php://input,rb);
$out = fopen($outfile,wb);
while(!feof($in)) {
  fwrite($out, fread($in, $bufsize));
}
fclose($in);
fclose($out);

Modified Note re: Works on a Copy


Previous Comments:


[2002-11-28 11:42:45] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The foreach() page will be updated and made more clear on this
behavior.  Regarding the pointer, foreach() indeed behaves like
while/each() (except for the initial reset) and moves the pointer past
the end.  So although it provides a copy to work with it still affects
the original arrays pointer!



[2002-11-27 10:32:33] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As I've been taught, foreach doesn't affect the pointer as it merely
works on a copy.  Also, the following note exists in the foreach()
entry of the manual and has for over two years:

Note:  Also note that foreach operates on a copy of the specified
array, not the array itself, therefore the array pointer is not
modified as with the each()  construct and changes to the array element
returned are not reflected in the original array. 

That was added by Sterling here:

http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/phpdoc/en/language/control-structures.xml?login=2r1=1.9r2=1.10ty=h


Everyone assumes foreach works on a copy and only a copy.  IMHO each()
isn't a fair comparison because it doesn't work on a copy.



[2002-11-24 23:10:40] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

IMO this is not a bug. Foreach works virtually like while + each
combination, with a few exceptions such as not requiring a reset()
prior to execution since it does not care about the current position in
the array.
As far as current(), next() and simular are concerned,
while (each($arr)); == foreach ($arr as $v);, once the loops are
complete current() will return FALSE. This IMO is a consistent
behaviour and is definately not a bug. I believe this is merely a
documentation issue.



[2002-11-21 15:21:34] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

foreach essentially REMOVES the array pointer alltogether on the
original array.

$arr = array('a','b'); foreach ($arr as $v); var_dump( current($arr)
);
$arr = array('a','b'); foreach ($arr as $v); reset($arr); var_dump(
current($arr) );

Results:
bool(false)
string(1) a

Using key() instead of current() results in NULL instead of false. 
Where did the pointer go?

Conclusion:
Either foreach() has a feature that removes the array pointer from the
original array or it's a bug.  If it's seen as a feature please explain
why so it can be documented.



[2001-03-09 21:32:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Previous Comments:


[2002-11-26 17:16:17] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

goba: because it was documented :) But you're right, it needs change.

philip: looking at the source, this only applies to apache sapi's and
goes for any php_value. It is not special for auto_prepend_file. (See
sapi/apache/mod_php4.c line 683).

Additionally - the special value 'none' is marked as systemitem of
class constant in en/chapters/config.xml of the documentation. This
isn't reflected in the HTML representation in any way.



[2002-11-26 14:27:07] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here's some related information.  In php.ini-dist:

; Automatically add files before or after any PHP document.
auto_prepend_file =
auto_append_file =

Which means the default value is essentially  as the docs say in the
defaults table.  Also the docs mention the special none value but could
someone explain the difference a bit?  So when setting outside of
php.ini one must use none instead of ?  Does none make sense in
php.ini too?



[2002-11-26 13:28:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you propose a change, why mark it bogus???



[2002-11-26 07:37:25] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Actually - looking further it's documented under the configuration
directives.

(maybe the table 4-5 Data handling Configuration Options could list
'none' instead of ).



[2002-11-26 07:32:56] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yep.

reclassified



[2002-05-23 10:07:41] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The documentation states that max_upload_filesize is an 
integer, although the result from ini_get is 2M. This is 
problematic for the following reasons: 
 
1. With the documentation stating the format as an 
integer, code can be written to output BAD code such as: 
 
$my_value = 2M; 
 
I fell into this trap and didn't locate the problem easily 
because my test installations (unfortunately) stated the 
max_upload_filesize as a true integer inside php.ini.  
 
2. It is not clear how PHP handles the output of GOOD code 
like: 
 
$my_value = 2M; 
 
If I later have code like: 
 
if ($my_value  $this_value) 
// i.e., if (2M  345) 
 
Will it break? Will 2M be considered an integer and 
converted automatically to 2097152? If this is the case 
then it is not immediately evident inside of the 
documentation.

Why conditional functions don't immediately exist.


Previous Comments:


[2002-09-09 08:14:10] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the new semantics that allows calling functions prior to their
definition only works for functions defined in a global scope

as soon as a function definition is within a conditional
block or nested within another function the new function
cannot be created at parse time as it is not known yet
wether the condition will be met or the surrounding 
function ever called, so these functions are created at
runtime instead when execution reaches this part of the code

so it is rather obvious that you can't call such a function ahead of
it's definition

well, maybe not *that* obvious, reclassified as documentation problem
