Re: [wdvltalk] strange mssql problem
Thanks for the thoughts Zach. It is definitely a table, not a view. We did try pasting on of the sql staements into our interface, and the update worked fine. This means the actual syntax is correct and the table is up-dateable. Just can't get it to work from within php... steve On Dec 8, 2008, at 4:04 PM, Zachary Kent wrote: I would be sure that the "table" that you are trying to update is an actual table and not a view. Also, as someone else suggested, put a breakpoint in your code where the final sql query string is created, copy that query and run it against the db using Management Studio. You will get an error message there if there is one.

Re: [wdvltalk] writeable directories
Makes sense :) A lot of what I deal with is for clients who want pre-written applications installed, and I guess I'll just have to check first to see how uploaded files are being handled. Thanks!

[wdvltalk] writeable directories
Hi all. I have read a bit about having web directories that are world writeable. Some say that they are a security hole and some say they are not. I have used open source applications like oscommerce and have had several of them hacked, finding php files placed within the images directory. My host claims it is because the images directory is world- writeable and someone uploaded files into it. I am looking into using a photo gallery (coppermine), and it needs 777 permissions on the upload directories in order to allow user uploads. I am worried about using it even though there are many on the coppermine forum that claim it is not a security risk. So, my questions are: 1) is 777 really a security hole or not? 2) I noticed that some servers give upload files "www" ownership and others give "user" ownership...does that make any difference? 3) if 777 is a hole, why are applications still being written with this requirement? thanks for any guidance! steve The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

[wdvltalk] need aol mail help
Hi all.
I am using php and mail() to try to send text-only email responses
within some scripts, but aol addresses are not receiving them.
I am using simple stuff like this, with no other headers:
$mailfrom="From: $super_email";
$mailto="$users[2]";
$mailsubject="Registration Re-activation";
mail($mailto,$mailsubject,$mailbody,$mailfrom);
I found some info that suggests the need for more parameters, like
these:
ini_set("sendmail_from","[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
mail($my_email,$subject,$message,$headers,"[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
but was wondering if someone could let me know if there is a complete
explanation somewhere that I could read up on.
thanks!

Re: [wdvltalk] strange mssql problem
Thanks Ross. The person I am working with has access to the database (he's the IT person for the company), and he should be able to get the tools and do the looking. He has already looked at the table permissions with whatever tools sqlserver comes with, and he doesn't see anything different from the other tables that we CAN update. The strange thing is that we can update one table, and using the same connect strings and user we can't update the other. I'll pass this along and see what comes up! thanks On Nov 19, 2008, at 10:52 AM, Ross Clutterbuck wrote: Steve: I had to use SQL Server recently and I found it to be a pain with things like this, especially when I have next-to-no experience with it.

We run trips and things to raise money, so we are not "officially" part of the school system. The school has a basic site, but they don't do much with it. We wrote an application to help us coordinate everything, and facilitate signups, $ tracking, etc. We need the student IDs, names, grades, contact info, etc to make it all work. Technically, the school's only involvement is to sanction it, share the student info, and give us a link from their edline account. It would be different if the school initiated the project, but they didn't. So, our task is to make it as secure as possible in order to sell it to all the other parents. If they can "google" it and find it, they might not use it. We have a secure login and a certificate on the site, so any sensitive info will be difficult to see. However, but we were hoping to make it difficult to even hit so parents would feel more comfortable. I know that we will never hide it completely, we just want to do the best we can. steve On Oct 20, 2008, at 5:26 AM, Ross Clutterbuck wrote: Sounds to me that you'll have much better luck approaching this in a much more secure way instead of trying to fudge through limited tools available to you. If this school is even partially serious about protecting its pupils then they should be open to discussion and you can illustrate these difficulties you're having and the best way to achieve this goal. To be honest though if this sensitive information is run from the school's intranet then either they need to set up a secure VPN so you can dial-in directly to the intranet or you simply don't provide external access - if the school wants this information accessible then they should really give the pupils provision to access it within school hours.

Is something like that possible? steve OK, got it. If it were me, I'd probably just put the values in question in a lookup table with an associated ID and put the ID in the URL. Since the relationship of the ID and value is arbitrary, there's no way to derive the value (without following the link, at which point I'd think it would be apparent, but maybe not). Anyway, HTH!

Re: [wdvltalk] url rewrite help needed
Hi Hassan. The other site is a commercial site that our school uses (edline.net) and they (so far) are only allowing us to post links on their site, not forms. Since I am not the school's contact with edline, I can't ask directly, and the person who is the contact is not being very helpful. If I had server or site access (or just a helpful tech), I could do lots of things, but no luck. So, I am stuck with a simple url and I'd like to hide the variable being sent. steve On Oct 19, 2008, at 12:58 PM, Hassan Schroeder wrote: On Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 9:10 AM, steve miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I am sending a variable from one site to another via a url string because I don't have access to send it as a form post variable.

I'm assuming you don't want people to download the full image without paying or something? Why not just watermark the images, and provide the original, un-watermarked images in an area that requires a login or something? Hi David. I know you're right about the "losing battle", but I'm just trying to make it harder on the casual snoopers who "view source" and take the photos. We are already using a login section and I have asked the site owner to watermark, but since she's concerned that clients will pass around the login info so others can preview the photos before purchase, which tends to increase the opportunity to take. I don't think any of them would have the means or skill to use plugins to view requests, so I thought hiding the url would be enough.

[wdvltalk] mysql query help needed
I am working with an existing database table that holds user information identified by strange id strings. The id strings are created by another application, so I can not change them, but I need to be able to query the table using them as reference. Each ID is a 3 character string like: !#^ $%" !!" #"& etc. The problem I am having is when I try to search for a user with a string that has a ' or a " in it, because the sql throws an error. The id inserted into the query, so I end up with something like: select * from table where id=!&" and mysql complains! Is there any way to write this so that mysql will accept it?

Re: [wdvltalk] bad guys got me
Wow
Thanks Sheila.
This script was loaded into many directories, some of which did not
start out writeable.
Could someone have changed all my permissions and then insert this?
What kind of hidden links should I look for, and what might they do?

Re: [wdvltalk] encryption help
I could be missing something, but I'm not seeing where you are going. Whether the pw's are in one table or 2, the user will have to go to 2 different apps to make changes to his/her pw. This is because we don't know how to create one portal where you enter a new pw and have it sent to the old app and to the new app. steve On Sep 14, 2007, at 12:09 PM, Sheila Fenelon wrote: Can you add a field to the current table?

Re: [wdvltalk] encryption help
Jon, The all 26 a's turned up as: 0xFBFFF9F4FB1521FCFBFFF9F4FB1521FCFBFF steve On Sep 14, 2007, at 10:03 AM, Jon Haworth wrote: Hi Steve, Might I just say this could be the best Friday afternoon question ever :-) Looks like some kind of byte codes; when we enter new passwords, here are some examples of how they are saved: Single letters first: a == 0xFB b == 0xFC q == 0x0C Decimal 251, 252 and 12 respectively - could be the ASCII code of the character being translated to hex and then having an offset applied. Hex tops out at 255 and if you reset to 1 and keep going through the alphabet you match up with q at 12 as follows: A = 251 B = 252 C = 253 D = 254 E = 255 F = 1 G = 2 ... P = 11 Q = 12 If you could test these passwords that would be handy: e should be 0xFF f should be 0x01 p should be 0x0B If non-alphanumeric characters are allowed in passwords for this system then these might work as well: [ should be 0xF5 % should be 0xBF If those check out then the offset would appear to be 0x9A; subtracting that from the hex value of the first character of the password will produce the original character's ASCII code. If you get a negative result you need to loop back round from the top, e.g. if your result is -0x05 then your true answer is 0xFF - 0x05 = 0xFA (n.b. I might have made an off by one error there, I'd need to test that). Now the longer example: aaa = 0xFBFFF9 If there were nothing else involved this should be 0xFBFBFB, so it looks like there's a second step to the encryption process. It could be an algorithm based on the character's position (e.g. add 0x02 to the second character, 0x03 to the third, 0x04 to the fourth, etc) - one way of interpreting your example is that it's starting with an offset of 0x04 for the second character, then reducing that offset by an additional 0x06 for each subsequent character. You can test this theory with the following: aa should be 0xFBFF should be 0xFBFFF9F3 a should be 0xFBFFF9F3ED ab should be 0xFB01 abb should be 0xFB01FA abbb should be 0xFB01FAF4 a should be 0xFB01FAF4EE Alternatively the offsets could be are hard-coded for each character's position (given your example, they'd be +0x06 for the second and -0x02 for the third), in which case we're not going to be able to work out a pattern for deducing them but will have to brute force them from the output. If you could provide a few more password examples that would be great - a couple I can see being very useful would be abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz aa (26 letter a's) Of course there could be something a little more fiendish going on. Again, more examples would help with this. Can anyone start me in the right direction to try to figure out how it's being done? HTH!

Re: [wdvltalk] encryption help
Hi Tim. Thanks for the advice! I'm not sure whether you meant that the breaking of the code might be illegal, or the accessing of the passwords. The person passing the task to me is an IT person who is in charge of all security issues at the company, and he is usually very strict about confidentiality and legality. He also has all of the plain text versions of the passwords as well as the encrypted versions. Since he already has the passwords, I figured that looking into how they were encrypted didn't violate any privacy issues. We asked the application owner if they would share their algorithm, and they declined. So...we thought if we could reverse-engineer it, and could simply use the existing data for our new application. However, I'll pass along your comments to make sure the IT person hasn't overlooked somethoing. steve Steve, Before you attempt this, you should be aware that attempting to break the encrypted information stored in this database may be illegal. Especially since it's password information. You may want to talk with your corporate legal department. You may also, if possible, want to talk to the software company that wrote the first application and see if you can leverage published APIs to use their algorithms for using the information.

[wdvltalk] semi mass emailing
Hi all. We have several small mail lists (about 200 addresses) that we gather from our websites to send out updates, news, etc. I store the addresses in a database and use a simple php script to cycle through them and send them out. I was having some problems with overloading the mailserver, so my host recommended a 1 second "sleep" between sends, which seems to work well. Unfortunately, our host also set an execution time limit of 60 seconds on php scripts, so the scripts time out and don't send to the whole list. I worked up a few ways around this by using crons to send to batches of 50 at a time, but this is a pain. I also tried some of the php mailers, but the only option they offer to send to a list ends up revealing the whole sender list in each email. My host suggested a cgi script might be a better way to go. Right now, I create a variable which holds an html string, and send that along with the necessary headers for html email to the list. Can anyone point me to some cgi code that I could use to send it?

However, I think my host has their servers set up so I can't override php settings, because I can't change the timeout. But I plan to try running it via cron to see what happens. steve On Mar 7, 2007, at 4:44 PM, David Precious wrote: On Wed, 7 Mar 2007, steve miller wrote: I want to ftp the contents of a large directory from one server to another (probably 300 files @ 20MB each).

I have written php scripts to ftp them, but the scripts timeout after about 10 files. I've tried simply using an ftp client with 2 windows open, but that is way slow. Firstly, cron will be a good way to run the PHP scripts - you shouldn't be subject to the default 30 second timeout then, and it's automated, which is much nicer. If you want to just deal with the timeout, then use set_timeout(0) near the top of your script to disable it. If PHP has been compiled with the FTP extension, then you can do something simple like: That should give you enough of an idea to get started with. See http://uk2.php.net/ftp for more info.

Re: [wdvltalk] ftp help
Thanks for the insight.
My other idea was to tar the whole thing, ftp it, and try to untar at
the other end. Problem is that I don't have that kind of access there.
Guess I'll have to play a bit to see how far I can get!

The commandline ftp doesn't take parameters in that form. Here's
the man page http://nersp.cns.ufl.edu/~dicke3/nerspcs/ftp.html
Shell scripts I've seen to automate ftp looks like this
ftp -i -v -n hostname <Using exec in PHP would required some tricks to keep it from
waiting for the command to finish. If it sits and waits then you're
back to the timeout issue. On the other hand if you put it in a
loop and let it spawn an ftp session for every file at once you
quickly consume all the resources on the machine, and your host
gets mad.

I have run scripts from crons before, so that part I know how to do.
The timeout issue was the problem, and it might be the server
config; I'm not sure.
What I was thinking was that I could run an exec within php that
executes the ftp statement like on a command line, but I don't
know the correct syntax.
Something like:
exec (" ftp ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path path/to/files/*.* ")
Would this work?

To run a PHP script from cron you first give the path to php
then the path to the script, so depending on your server setup,
it would look *something* like this
/usr/local/bin/php /full_path_to_ftp_script/the_script.php
If it still times out you could try wrapping the call to the php
script in a shell script. The shell script would need to
generate or read a list of the files to be ftp'd and pass them
to the php script. The php script would need to read the input,
handle just one file and then exit.
Hope the makes sense,

[wdvltalk] ldap
(I am re-sending this because my earlier send did not show up...) Hi all. I have a very general question because I am not exactly sure what I am asking! I have a client who has a MS desktop tool that he uses to query his MS Active Directory for contact info, devices, printers, etc. We are trying to develop a web-based tool (php) to do the same thing, but we can only seem to access certain info in certain levels of the directory tree. For example, when we use his tool to do a search with this filter: (&(&(&(&(mailnickname=*)(|(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user) (!(homeMDB=*))(!msExchHomeServerName=*)))(&(objectCategory=person) (objectClass=user)(|(homeMDB=*)(msExchHomeServerName=*)))(& (objectCategory=person)(objectClass=contact))(objectCategory=group) (objectCategory=publicFolder) (objectCategory=msExchDynamicDistributionList (objectCategory=contact)(displayName=colleen*))) we get results. But if I try using this same filter in a web-based search query, we get errors like "bad filter" and no results. So, his question to me was "Is it possible to do a direct ldap query to a public folder through a browser?" He thinks it may not be due to some MS security issue. Does this question make any sense? Does anyone know the answer, or could help me understand the issue enough to solve our problem?

[wdvltalk] javascript form validation
Greetings.
I have a client who has a cart form with textboxes, radio buttons, and
checkboxes with names like "OPTION|01_Name_of_school|STDDIP", etc so
the cart will recognize them. However, she wants to use javascript in
the page to make sure everything is filled in or selected, and I keep
getting errors when I try to refer to them with these weird names.
Textboxes and checkboxes seem to work with ids:
document.getElementById('school').value
but radios and pull-downs don't. Any ideas on how to validate them
with ids, or some other way other than their goofy names?
Thanks!

[wdvltalk] midi player problem
(sorry to re-post, but still need any help possible!) I have a client who has a dell laptop running IE6 with XP, and he can't change the volume on simple controllers like the one on this page: http://wdvl.internet.com/Multimedia/Sound/ Also, when I embed a hidden player and set the volume to 50%, 40%, 30%...etc, the volume on his machine does not change. Anyone heard of this or know a solution? He wants to play some midi file, and I don't know any other payer to use. These all work fine on my Win2000/IE6 box.

You might need to specify the complete path to tar in order for cron
to find it.
I am attempting to tar the whole "www" directory, then I'll ftp it to
another site for storage.
I set up a cron to run:
home/myweb/www/exec_tar.sh
Make sure exec_tar.sh has execute permission and test it by running it
from the command line.
Give cron the complete path to exec_tar.sh
This isn't working...am I even close?
Close. :)

Re: [wdvltalk] submit multiple forms

Dont know if that will help but I will keep looking.

[wdvltalk] wits end
(sorry; been trying to send this for awhile, but the list kept
rejecting the styled text...)
Guess what? A few blank lines at the top of the script were somehow
making the script think that header info had already been sent!
I emptied the page except for:
header ("Location: index.html?xx=1");
exit();
and got this error:
"Warning: Cannot modify header information"
When I removed the blank lines, it worked!!
Wish I had thought of that yesterday :(
Thanks for the help,
steve

Header does prefer complete URLs (eg http://www.example.com/index.php)

Hi Dan.
die() and exit() stop the script, but I am getting no re-direct to
index.html. If I echo out some placeholders, I find that the script
jumps over the header statement and then stops.
For example:
if($no==1)
{
echo "2";
header ("Location: index.html");
echo "3";
exit();
}
prints out 2 and 3, then quits with no re-direct. The thing that
puzzles me is that this same exact code works in some pages in the same
directory on the site, but not in others. What could cause that?

Try using the break inside switch cases but not in an if loop

[wdvltalk] Training advice
Hello skilled ones. I have been working with a client for about a year or two as a php programmer for their web applications. Over time, one of their applications has unintentionally migrated into a rather large customer info management system (based on php/mysql), containing a lot of duplication of their in-house system (based on sql server). Their in-house system is all MS, using Outlook and other programs for contact and task management. They would now like to add the ability to access Outlook to the php application to access/create/manage the contacts and tasks. I am guessing this involves knowing about COM and Exchange Server, but I know little about them. My question is: what types of courses/training should I look into in order to gain the skills necessary to handle their new stuff?

Re: [wdvltalk] php mail()
"User/Group" was set to nobody(99)/99 and "sendmail_from" did have no value. However, just for info sake, I set $mailfrom="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to $mailfrom="From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and all worked.

This is typically used to add extra headers (From, Cc, and Bcc). Multiple extra headers should be separated with a CRLF (\r\n). Note: When sending mail, the mail must contain a From header. This can be set with the additional_headers parameter, or a default can be set in php.ini. Failing to do this will result in an error message similar to Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing. Note: If messages are not received, try using a LF (\n) only. Some poor quality Unix mail transfer agents replace LF by CRLF automatically (which leads to doubling CR if CRLF is used).

Most likely if you create a real email address for the script to reference it will work, instead of messing with your php config. The list tell you how to do that too if you feel brave, but you prolly figured it out for yourself already :-) and name the file phpinfo.php then ftp it over to your server to see what you have running on your system to confirm. hth! cheers, Mark • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

file to my web root (linux) and download it, it is fine. If I send the
same file to my desktop using the browser, it is all garbled. Examples
are here: http://www.dinnys.com/good.xls and
http://www.dinnys.com/bad.xls. I am using the standard headers in Excel
Writer to send the file:
function send($filename)
{
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate,
post-check=0,pre-check=0");
header("Pragma: public");
header("Content-Length: ". filesize($filename));
readfile($filename);
}
Any ideas why the mess?
Thanks,
steve

Re: [wdvltalk] javascript help
Thanks for the help.
I know this does not look elegant, but it works! :)
I was getting some NAN errors, so I put in a few more checks.
Thanks both,

That wouldn't work, because document.getElementById() takes a string as
a parameter. By calling eval(), you're trying to convert the string
"singles1" into a Javascript variable, which will be null assuming it
hasn't been declared yet already.
Also, by changing it to a do-while loop, the first form element with
"1"
in the ID would have to exist, or you'd get a null reference exception
when you try to access its properties ("Object expected" or whatever
the
error message is).

I don't get a script error in IE or FF. It works in IE(6) fine for

tallyUp(), you may try changing your element acquisition to use an

instead of:
while (document.getElementById("singles" + i) != null)
{

i += 1;
}
}
see if this does it:
do
{
var currSingle = eval("singles" + i);
document.getElementById(currSingle);
...
i+=1;

while(document.getElementById(currSingle);
This forces the browser to evaluate your derived variable, which
should get FF stepping in line. Of course to be able to eval it,
you'll have to move your control logic to the end of the loop, which
is what a do...while is good for.

There are also a gazillion other textboxes on the same page which are

Re: [wdvltalk] javascript help
I'll have to give this some thought. The number of elements is a
variable in that I never know how many text boxes named "singles[]"
there will be. A script generates them as needed, and once on the page,
I need to be able to use them for calculations. I guess this means I
have to place a counter somewhere as they are being generated, and
write the IDs accordingly.
Food for thought. Thanks.

In other words, how do I tell javascript to use the boxes in col 1 for the first calc, then move on to the boxes in col 2 for the next calc... There are also a gazillion other textboxes on the same page which are not used in the calc, so I don't think I can refernce them using form element numbers. How do i do what I want to do? steve The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
