Hi!
On my webserver I want to switch to enable safe_mode setup, but not for
all directories.
1) I have one common directory, in which I have some root-owned files with
the header and footer of our lab. I want to allow all users to include
these files to easily make them look similar :-)
2) Besides this directory I would prefer safe_mode.
Unfortunately, when enabling safe_mode, requirement 1 fails, as the user's
web-pages are owned by the users themselves. They are colleagues with a
shell account, so include() must fail because of the different uid.
I did not manage to work around safe_mode in a partial manner (e.g. by
using "php_admin_value safe_mode Off" in a <Directory ...> statement),
I could only globally swith on and off safe_mode.
Are there any recommondations on how to allow for the partial use of
safe_mode?
Many thanks in advance,
Lutz

The way you want to do this is with UNIX timestamps. FYI a timestamp is the
number of seconds starting at 1970 and going up (it's important to remember
that date - since some people were born before, etc.)
So you need to do this:
$dateA = '12-25-1999';
$dateB = '12-24-1999';
// convert to unix time stamps
$fooA = explode('-',$dateA);
$fooB = explode('-',$dateB);
$timestampA = mktime(0,0,0,$fooA[0],$fooA[1],$fooA[0]);
$timestampB = mktime(0,0,0,$fooB[0],$fooB[1],$fooB[0]);
if($timestampA > $timestampB)
{
echo $dateA . " is greater than B";
}
Hope this helps - you can also check out this page:

Yes - it may work like you are saying, but I would use a timestamp to be sure.
You can make comparisons on regular date formats from within MySQL with the
date or datetime fields.

This is not possibly - do this on $date2 first:
$foo_date2 = str_replace('-',$foo_date2);
then
if($date1 < $foo_date2)
{
}
else
{
}

Ah, see ... this is what I was talking about with making sure
they are in the same format :)

You can change yyyy-mm-dd to yyyymmdd like this:
$withoutdashes = ereg_replace("[^0-9]", "", $withdashes);
This wil actually remove everything from the string that is
not a number between 0 and 9 (ie, numbers).

Fetch the comfy chair!
I would agree - we started using one at work (the 760 I believe) with 128GB of
online RAID 4 storage - YUM! We run a large SUN DB and run our DB straight from
the NetApp. NetApp basically rules.

from my testing, the "EQUALIZER" (I kind of like how obnoxious the name is,
actually :) does in fact work with AOL.

The installation I tested is not large, though, and I did not hit it with
more than one client.. in the case of the particular site, it doesn't
matter... but I would be interested to know that.

Yeah, Cisco r' bastards :)
At _least_ for the money, their stuff does actually work most of the time.

Yeah, we might end up writing a session handler for binarycloud, probably
"switchable" so you can store sessions on the machine re: php.ini, or pipe
'em to your DB.

Nope, not a thing.
That is a consequence of the stateless-but-not-quite model. In my case, it's
fine. In other cases, it certainly is not :)

I have a problem which i dont know how to solve....
my script...
$game = "roguespear";
$title = "quepasa??mecasa...";
$num = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM DLtemplates WHERE id='$game'");
$num =mysql_fetch_array($num);
print(stripslashes("$num[sub]"));
what sub in DLtemplates where id=$game = $title
so why does it print
$title on the screen and not "quepasa??mecasa...";
any help apprecaited
- Peter
First of all check this:
print(stripslashes("$num[sub]"));
... should be...
print(stripslashes($num['sub']));
That will change the result, but I don't know if it's the result you're
going for...
One other note of interest... why is your variable named $num? If it was
supposed to be a significant number I would understand, but as far as I can
tell, it's not... so you might consider changing this to be a little more
descriptively named ;)

O wait... I think I see what you're saying... the database actually has an
entry in it that is '$title', not the value of $title... what you need to
do is run eval('echo ' . $num['sub']) instead of the print command you've
got right now (note: print/echo makes no difference for this example; just
my personal pref to stick with echo).

Thanks!, I was getting bogged down in variable
declaration, OOP, etc. This works perfectly:
Please enter user name here: <FORM>
<INPUT TYPE=text NAME=name>
<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE=Submit>
</FORM><BR>
You typed:
<?
print $HTTP_GET_VARS["name"];
?>
>>> Within your configurations, is register_globals
on?
I try this code and it works just fine. Although if
register_globals setting in php.ini is off it will
not, try replacing :
echo ($name);
with
print $HTTP_GET_VARS["name"];
And see what happens. If you want $name type variables
to register as global, then turn the setting to on.
Strangly, iirc, this should be on by default though.
The fact that you have name=Bob in url would suggest
this to be the "problem". Read about these settings
here :

I'm running PHP 4.0.4pl1 as a CGI under Apache 1.3.14 with suexec.
Whenever I turn on safe_mode in php.ini, the following messages appear
from a script owned by and running as uid 1013 which is trying to include
files owned by uid 1013 in a directory owned by 1013:
Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is -1 is
not allowed to access header.php owned by uid 1013 in archive.php on line
1.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I don't know about everybody else, but I learned PHP by taking a simple,
pre-existing script and upgrading it to my needs by studying the syntax and
putting in new code to do what I wanted it to, always keeping the PHP online
manual at my side. By just jumping in like that, I've managed to build an
acceptable knowledge of the language in about a month.
My fault for missing the original post... but if this is the discussion I
think it is...
I'd say if you've already got one language under your belt you can probably
learn PHP without too much trouble just by reading the first few chapters
of the manual and using the function reference beyond that...
If you don't have any prior programming experience, there are some concepts
that should probably be taught a little more extensively than the manual
covers... you might want to look into online tutorials, published books,
etc.

Can anyone show me how to do this?
I'm using a script out of Julie C. Meloni's book:
<?
if (ereg !=("^[0-9]+[.]?[0-9]*$", $val1)) {
header("Location:http://localhost/calculate_form.html");
exit;
if (ereg !=("^[0-9]+[.]?[0-9]*$", $val2)) {
header("Location:http://localhost/calculate_form.html");
exit;
if (($val1 == "") || ($val2 == "") || ($calc =="")) {
header("Location:http://localhost/calculate_form.html");
exit;
}
if ($calc == "add") {
$result = $val1 + $val2;
} else if ($calc == "subtract") {
$result = $val1 - $val2;
} else if ($calc == "multiply") {
$result = $val1 * $val2;
} else if ($calc == "divide") {
$result = $val1 / $val2;
}
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Calculation Result</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>The result of your calculation is: <? echo
"$result"; ?></p>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Now, as you'll see, if you fail to complete one of the fields or click
one of
the radio buttons, the form is returned. Which is fine in so far as it
goes.
But the script will attempt to perform calculations on non numeric
fields and
I also want it to return the form if anyone puts in a non numeric value.
I think I need some ereg something like:
(ereg("^[0-9]+[.]?[0-9]*$", $i, $p))
but I've absolutely no idea how to do it.
If someone could show me, I'd be able to re-write a lot of my old C++
stuff in
PHP and I'd have a fair idea how to do functions in PHP.
Many thanks.

Wow, I never thought of using the remote IP! Thanks for the tip. I
am going to use it today for an authentication system I'm building.

Please note that remote IP is NOT reliable. For clients behind the proxies
& gateways of large ISP's (AOL is the prime example) you can see the remote
address bounce around from number to number, even within the same session,
depending on which path the data takes.

Careful. This will die in the butt if the client comes in from an ISP
using load-balancing proxy servers.

Hey folks,
I've been experimenting with creating some graphics on the fly with GD. So
far, so good. However, I've switched ISP's, and their gd doesn't support
gifs. I've tried changing the header syntax header("content-Type: image/gif")
to header("content-Type: image/png"); and the imagegif to imagepng, and all I
get when I try to view the image is a broken quicktime icon.
Is there some browser setting I need to change?
Thanks in advance,
Kelly

What browser are you using?
They started putting png in on ie4.0 and nn4.04
3 questions I guess.
I'm writing a SYSV LP script in PHP so that I can have a
print-to-database (MySQL) solution. First question: Am I wasting my
time? Are there already canned solutions? (LPRng perhaps?)
Second question: How do I go about opening file descriptors by
numeric referance? (LP calls script with file descriptors for passing back
debug and status info).
Third question: How do I trap a signal (SIGTERM specifically) in a
PHP script?
Obviously, I have the latest PHP compiled as a CGI with native MySQL
support. My OS environ is Solaris 7.

I have download the Zend Optimizer (Running Apache 1.3.14 and PHP 4.04) and untarred

and added:
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension="/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendOptimizer.so"
Somewhere near the top. Then I restarted the server using apachectl restart. I also
tried stopping and starting as well. It still isn't running? Any ideas. Is there
anything else that needs to be done?

And nothing about the optimizer. So I am assuming that it is not running?

When I look at the website (http://www.zend.com/zend/optimizer/) it says it
works with PHP Version 4.0.3 or 4.0.3pl1 it says no early or later versions
of PHP are supported so I would htink that is the reason why it's not
working.

Sorry in advance for being redundant. I was unable to find the answer I
needed, on the php.net site.
We have a mailto form, which uses the mail() funciton. For the most part,
it works as intended. All of my headers seem to be coming through intact
(To, From, Reply-To, Return-Path, Error-To, etc).
However, if the message should bounce, it always bounces back to nobody.
When we want it to bounce back to say, rch instead. Can any offer a
possible solution here?
TIA

Your Return-Path: header should have that email address.

Thanks, but as stated in my post, all of my headers
Return-Path included, are coming through correctly. Here is what I am
using for my headers, is there something missing here?
$headers .= "From: $sender_name $sender_address\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: $sender_address\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: $version\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: $sender_address\n";
$headers .= "Error-To: $sender_address\n";

Robert Hough ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
I understand. So, does $sender_address have the email address that
you want it returned to? You didn't specifically say this, that is
why I asked.
If you actually get the mail sent on the internet, and the headers
contain explicit instructions, then the mail has no choice but to
return to who you specify in the Return-Path:.

Sorry, yes it does. The message, if delivered properly, is fine. The
receiver can hit "Reply" and that works as intended. The From field also
displays correctly.
The problem happens when the message bounces. For whatever reason, if the
message bounces, it returns to nobody. Which, of course is what the web
server is running as.

Well, I don't know exactly what you mean by a bounce. But, an
undelivered email will return to the Return-Path address.
Why don't you forward the actuall email headers to the list and I can
look at them.

Well, after checking the headers myself, it doesn't look like sendmail is
accepting my return-path, or php isn't sending it. Headers below:

If the real sender is "nobody" then just make an alias in your aliases
file to point "nobody" to somebody. :-)
I think that you answered your own question. I know that PHP sends
Return-Path: headers, I do it all the time. But, I use qmail.
All I can say is good luck with sendmail.cf (<bad humor>I hope you
have enough system memory to open it in a text editor </bad bumor>)

Right.
Notice the keyword "envelope" above, and see "Return-Path:" in the bat
book. The site performing final delivery controls Return-Path:

Then stop it! :-)
See the sendmail bat book, even if using qmail:
>>> There must be only one Return-Path: header in any mail message, and
>>> should be placed there by the site performing final delivery.
>>>
>>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The site performing final delivery looks at the envelope address to
determine "Return-Path: thus making it useless to send these headers
yourself.
I asked the same question some weeks ago!
The problem is, my root installed the mail-function so that "nobody" is
the owner of the send-process!
I wanted the same thing as you want - At last I did a workaround (not bad
for sending that small amount of mails I do):
I configured .procmailrc, so the mails I want to send are sent to my local
account (specific subject), and then sendmail is called (the mail is sent
with MY USER)! If I use headers like Error-To:, they now work as expected!!
I hope you understand my filthy english!

Quick update, for anyone interested...
I managed to answer my own question, but I'd still like to thank everyone
that replied, it did lead me to the right place. What I ended up doing was
using sendmail with the -f option. This did require me to add a new
trusted user to my sendmail.cf though.
Once that was done, I just used popen to dump the message to
sendmail. Here's the ugly/incomplete version of the code. If you can't
figure it out, or want to see the exacts let me know off list, and I'll
send it to ya in the morning (read, give me time to clean it up).
$mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$fd = popen($mailer, "w");
fputs($fd, "$headers");
fputs($fd, "$message");
pclose($fd);

I've got a strange thing with overriding an ini file in PHP.
I'm trying to implement a simple example of a script that allows a file to be
uploaded.
I put an <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="myfile" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> tag
on the form, along with a submit button. (yeah, the rest of the HTML is
fine...)
The script gets the file, uploads it, and the $myfile variable says the
uploaded file is named something like "/var/tmp/phpq32345". However, I don't
have write permissions to /var/tmp. (Neither does the process doing the
actual upload!)
I created a php3.ini file in the same directory that contains the script.
It has only the line:
upload_tmp_dir = myuploads
Then I created a directory named myuploads in the same dir with 2777
perms.
However, the script never sees this ini file! I printed out the cwd from
the script, and it IS the same dir where the php3.ini file resides; I can
even exec a command 'ls -l *.ini' and it shows up there just fine.
I tried setting $PHPRC inside the script, but that doesn't work. I'm not sure
how to inject PHPRC into the php script environment, because the scripts run
as user "nobody".
I can't figure out how to override the default location. Any suggestions?
FYI: this is running on PHP 3.0.14, Apache 1.3.12 on a FreeBSD 4.0 platform.

Hi,
I have a script that worked up until I upgraded the server from PHP
4.0.2 to 4.0.4. I get:
1 is not a valid PostgreSQL link resource. Why is this broken all of
a sudden? here is some code:
function SQLCall($call){
global $psqlhost, $psqldb, $rows, $result;
$db_connect=pg_connect("host=$psqlhost
dbname=$psqldb");
$result=pg_exec($db_connect, "$call");
$rows=pg_numrows($result);
}
$call="insert into agents (fname, lname, address, city, state,
zip, email,
country, homephone, workphone, company, username, password,
created, visits, fax, status,
pridomain, title) values ('$fname', '$lname', '$address', '$city',
'$bizstate',
'$zip', '$email', '$country', '$homephone', '$workphone', '$company',
'$username',
'$cryptpass', '$created', $visits, '$fax', '$status', '$pridomain',
'$title')";
SQLCall($call);
include("results/newagent.php");
This (bug?) seems to only affect INSERT calls to pg_sql. The
functions within the script which use UPDATE sql calls (using the
same SQLCall($call) function in this script work fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kris
It's b/c the globals in 4.0.4pl1 are not working, at least that's why mine
broke. Try replacing the globals in the function with the actual variable
declarations and see if the problem goes away. If not, I guess it's a
different problem, but that fixed it for me.

Apologies if this is documented here, especially since it seems to be
something commonly done, but I couldn't locate it.
My problem:
We are running PHP 4 on a Solaris 2.7 box with Apache 1.3.11 with mod_perl
1.24.
We need to communicate with 3rd-party Perl APIs from within PHP to handle
processing of a form. The API functions each expect an associated array and
will return a result value to the calling party.
I would assume that we would use exec( 'perl cgi-bin/myscript.pl',
$assoc_array, $return_value) to do this, placing the perl script I write to
handle the values in the server's cgi-bin directory.
If this seems right, I would see the array in the perl script by parsing
out the array, getting the values and sending them to the API functions.
When I get the returned value from the called perl function in the API, I
return it by assigning it to the third parameter in the perl script.
I've worked with perl before, but it's been a while and I am trying to get
back in the perl mind frame and I've never combined it with PHP so I could
be off here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Has anyone gotten PHP 4.04 to compile with PDFLIB support?
I have successfully compiled pdflib and all of it's supporting libs. (It
runs the tests that come with it)
But when I ./configure php, I use:
./configure --with-pdflib=/usr/local/lib
And in the output of configure I see:
...
checking whether to include Pdflib 3.x support... /usr/local/lib
no
...
I can't seem to figure out how to make it say YES!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They do just what they say.

One drawback is that PHP can't natively handle these big numbers, so
the return values from these functions are of type string.

Sometimes clients put a dollar sign "$" in a form that only needs a

Is there a way to take a post variable and automatically convert it to a

If you really need to make this a float variable, then you can add
$Number = (float)$SanitizedNumber;
although in most cases PHP handles type conversion correctly on-the-fly.

I am trying to allow various users to upload their own picture. What I
would like to happen is to have the copy statement rename the .jpg
image to the username. For example, if the username is mike, then I want
the picture to be renamed mike.jpg
The following is a snippet of code:
<?PHP
print "$CUserName" //ensures name is carried over from session
if(copy($userfile,"c:/phpweb/userpics/$CUserName.jpg"))
{
print "Your picture has been uploaded!";
}
else
{
print "Error";
}
unlink($userfile)
?>
The errors I get are as follows:
Warning: unable to open " for reading: Permission denied in
c:\phpweb/fuploadconfirm.php on line 15
Warning: Unlink failed (No such file or directory) in
c:\phpweb/fuploadconfirm.php on line 31
Line 15 is the if copy($userfile........) line in the above code
AND
Line 31 is the unlink statement at the end.
Thanks,
Mike
are you running php in safemode?
according to
http://php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php
unlink() may not work with windows servers, I have no personal experience
with windows so I can not confirm this.
have you tried
http://php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php
this might be better suited.

Unlink works on some installations, not others. I think it works on NT
but not 95 or perhaps the other way around. Why is this? Unlink is
hardly an unsupported system call in windows! Anybody know?

Unlink comes from UNIX so it's probably supported by NT rather than Win9x.
This is just a guess, though.

Um, I suppose every OS does. (I deleted one file or another as well)
However this was about unlink, wasn't it? Unlink, basically, is a UNIX
command.
I don't really know how PHP-unlink works but it is possible that it simply
won't work in a non-UNIX-environment. NT in a few ways is pretty close to
UNIX so it may work here as well. Closer than 9x, anyway.
Be warned.
This whole mail is based on guesses.
If you wanna know, try it, or ask someone who did.

This only applies to PHP 4.0.4
Back with PHP 4.0.2, I could do this:
<?PHP
$string = "[[";
$string = preg_replace("/(\W)/", "\\\\1", $string);
?>
$string would then contain "\[\[".
Now, if I use that same code, $string contains "\\1\\1\\1\\1".
I tried to compensate for this using PHP's new ability to allow
perl syntax in the replace section.
<?PHP
$string = "[[";
$string = preg_replace("/(\W)/", "\\$1", $string);
?>
That leaves $string with "\$1\$1\$1\$1". Which tells me it thought
I was backreferencing the $. So, to combat said assumption, I tried
three, four, even five slashes in front of $1, and nothing worked.
All I got were variations of "\$1\$1\$1\$1".
I have to assume this is a bug, since this worked back in 4.0.2 which
I stopped using due to segfaults under certain circumstances.
Ideas?

How can I do an array like below 100-1?
<OPTION VALUE=\"100\"></OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=\"99\"></OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=\"98\"></OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=\"97\"></OPTION>
to
<OPTION VALUE=\"3\"></OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=\"2\"></OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE=\"1\"></OPTION>

for ($i=100; $i>0; $i++)
print "<OPTION VALUE=\\\"$i\\\"></OPTION>\n";
But, I presume you would rather do this:
for ($i=100; $i>0; $i++)
print "<OPTION VALUE=\"$i\"></OPTION>\n";
because I can't imagine why you would want to escape double quotes in
HTML.

or how about:
<?for($i=100; $i>0; $i--){?>
<OPTION VALUE="<?echo $i?>"></OPTION>
<?}?>
I have found metabase to be superior to any other abstraction layer I've
ever come across.
Hey, it also allows you to do DB schema definitions with XML files, which is
hugely cool.
We're running development of commercial-grade (tested, yadda-yadda) doing
development on mySQL, and moving to Oracle in production. With no problems.
Without metabase, I would consider the above suicidal and idiotic, but with
metabase it works like a charm.
If you'd like other resources beyond an abstraction layer (like
authentication, permissions, and all kinds of other groovy tools), have a
look at binarycloud.com.

case "phone_us":
if(ereg("^([2-9][0-9]{2})([2-9][0-9]{2})([0-9]{4})$", $var)){
return TRUE;
}else{
set_stringtypes_error(throw_error3("lib_string_types_108", $var));
}
break;

works good for us.
that's from the stringtypes lib in binarycloud. we're going to convert all
of that stuff to be stored as rules in XML... groovy changes are afoot!

That's a tough one, because 555-5555 is just as valid as 1-800-BILLME.
And here in Australia we have 131166 (yes, all you Aussies, that *IS*
Pizza Hut's number... I couldn't think of any others :))
The best you can really do is make sure that its over a certain length.

Fetch the comfy chair!
I know this has been discussed,
but it messing with me.
in a script I'm working on
I pull out an array of checkboxes
from a database,
how do I store what people select
back to the DB
all I end up with is the last selection
of the array.

What I see is that the below is not an array of checkboxes (that would
be <input type="checkbox" ...>, not <option ...>). <Option> ... are
part of a <select>
But, to make a checkbox be checked, you simply do this:
<input type="checkbox" ... checked>

it took me a while to find this out, too.
If you have say, 5 checkboxes, name them like so:
<input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="monk">
<input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="trane">
<input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="miles">
<input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="dizzy">
<input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="bird">
when submitted, in the script processing the form, check the array
$musicians[]. The checked selections will be included as elements.
So if trane and bird were checked, you will have a 2-element array in
$musicians[].
$musicians[0] == "trane"
$musicians[1] == "bird"
HTH.

OK, I got a simple search page working (thanks to all of you who helped me).
Another simple question for you. If I had a search and the data to be
searched needs to be determined by check boxes, How would I write the sql>?
Like this?
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table
WHERE town LIKE '%$search_data%' OR street LIKE '%$search_data%' ";
Is "OR" even the correct syntax? Here's how I tried it, which didn't give
any results.....
(Where reference is the id number (or map reference) and search_data is the
text field for users to tpye the query.
if ($reference != "")
$search_reference = "OR id LIKE '%$reference%'";
}
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table
WHERE town LIKE '%$search_data%' $search_reference";
$result = @mysql_query($sql,$connection)
or die (mysql_error());
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
TIA,
James.
try this:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table
WHERE town LIKE '%$search_data%' ";
if ($reference != "")
$sql .= "OR whatever";

Ah, so you can constantiate (right word?) the query?

Hi. I use password() to excrypt my passwords when I'm adding users to my
mysql database. I'm wondering if there's a function to use to un-encrypt it
(for a web interface to change the password, and so the admin who is editing
user info can see what it is). Thanks for any help.
Jason
Have a look at the base64_encode / decode stuff. I stumbled across an
example there just this afternoon.
It's available in the user contributed notes of the Quick Reference section
for those functions at http://www.php.net

Note that base64 encode/decode keeps passwords from being readily readable
but does NOT protect anything from being decoded. The reason you can't
decode Password and MD5 encrypted passwords is that if you could, all you'd
have to do is find the encrypted version and decrypt it. Again, _anybody
can decrypt a base64_encode()'d string_ if they get hold of it.

simple answer is no. the only way to decrypt the passwd is to run it through
a cracker. All admins are used to this and know that if a user has lost a
passwd that they are going to have to give them a new one, finding the old
just isnt work one week of processing time :)
Im curious to see how other php developers store their passwd's
-plain text in db
-use of unix password()
-use of db password()
-other ?

I store it in the "universal include file" as $password["User"] = "Encrypted
password";
Then when the user logs in:
if (encryption_function($entered_password) == $password[$entered_username])
{
Do this stuff
} else{
echo("Please don't hack the llamas");
}
I'm serious about that last bit: Anyone who types in a wrong password gets a
"Please don't hack the llamas" message.

ok, go ahead. that in my opinion is not the way to go, especially for
portability and reuse of code... it's also the quick route to hair-pulling

Q: I have multiple load-balanced servers (or I'm using DNS round-robin
to
accoplish the same thing) and I want to generate one webalizer report
for
the whole farm, but each server generates its own log file. When I
run webalizer on each of the logfiles in turn, it ignores a lot of the
records because it thinks they're out of order!
A: You need to merge all of the logfiles together so that webalizer sees
the records in chronological order. One good way to do that on the fly
is
with mergelog (http://mergelog.sourceforge.net/), a quick common logfile
sorter. An example:
mergelog <server1>.log <server2>.log <server3>.log | webalizer

I'm seeing strange behavior with Magic Quotes in PHP on my ISP hosted
accounts. Basically, it's not consistently removing the escaped backslashes
before displaying.
For instance, take the following piece database text (stored in, say, a
character field)....
It's fun to be a penguin.
If I do a simple retrieve and echo on a webpage, I will get the following
80% of the time..
It's fun to be a penguin.
But, the other 20% of the time I get
It\'s fun to be a penguin.
There's something inconsistent about the way MagicQuotes are removed by the
system...it's as if the system gets "busy" or the cache gets flushed before
PHP gets the opportunity to unescape the single quotes.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior and has any suggestions on how to make
it work more consistent? Yes, I've been including "stripslashes" to try to
make SURE that these slashes get removed, but that doesn't work all the
time EITHER.

I have a snipet of code i'm using for a file maintanance program. I have no
idea why but when the main loop repeats, the is_dir function doesn't return
true even though it prints out a directory in the server.
chdir("/certain/place/for/files/");
$handle=opendir(".");
$file=readdir($handle); //to get rid of "." and ".."
$file=readdir($handle);
while($file=readdir($handle))
{
if (is_dir($file)){
chdir("/certain/place/for/files/".$file."/");
$handle2=opendir(".");
$file2=readdir($handle2);
$file2=readdir($handle2);
while($file2=readdir($handle2))
{
?>
<tr bgcolor="<?php
if ($j==0)
{
echo "ffffff";
$j=1;
}
else if ($j==1)
{
echo "ffffcf";
$j=0;
}
?>">
<td><a href="website<?php echo $file;?>/<?php echo
$file2;?>">[view]</a></td>
<td><?php echo $file2;?></td>
<td><a href="deleteimage.php3?file=<?php echo $file2;?>&root=<?php echo
$file;?>">[delete]</a></td>
</tr>
<?
}
}
else{
?>
<tr bgcolor="<?php
if ($j==0)
{

}
else if ($j==1)

<td><a href="website<?php echo $file;?>">[view]</a></td>
<td><?php echo $file;?></td>
<td><a href="deleteimage.php3?file=<?php echo
$file;?>&root=/">[delete]</a></td>
</tr>
<?
}
the script will print out the contents of the first directory but then the
others are never opened, just printed out.

Instead I am curious how other developers on this list are returning the

I'm not sure I understand the question. What exactly do you mean? Are
you talking about returning it from the client already encrypted? Not sure
if anybody does that, as JS doesn't have a whole lot of useful encryption
stuff in it, and iirc the md5() algorith is rather lengthy.

No, simply when someone loses it's password. How do developers return it on
their systems? What are the procedures, tips todo, tricks etc....
This is because I am working on a similar system right now, and the
"password return" part is the one I am not too sure yet. Plus many of us
would learn something new.

I would guess the passwords are stored in plain text... on a dedicated
machine, this is only as much of a risk as the machine's security in
general is... still more of a risk than I'd take with data that needs to be
secure...
As someone mentioned earlier, if you want to provide for a user who might
lose his password, I recommend that you simply force him to choose another.

There are a few ways to go about this-
1) The "secret question" method, where the user enters a question
only they would know the answer to upon signing up, and they can
use this to get in if they forget the password. Which begs the
question - why use a password in the first place?
2) Administrator intervention- a request is made to an administrator,
who sets a new password on behalf of the user.
3) Email a generated password- Generate a password, and email
it to the user. However, malicious users could do this to shut off
other people's accounts, so perhaps you should have a two step
process:
a) the user says "I've lost my password" and an email is sent to
said user's email address...
b) the email contains a link to a script, which only then generates
a new password and sends it back to the user. This makes sure
that whoever it making the request at least has access to the
email account listed for that user, and you can be more sure that
nothing too shady's going on :-) Oh, and for verification, the
link could be something like
http://your.site.com/scripts/newpw?oldpw=foo&user=x
where foo is the md5() password already in the database, so in
order to spoof the link the hacker would already need to know
the password or have db axs in the first place :)
Hope I've given you some ideas.

Yeah, but this simply means that the password is stored somewhere
unencrypted, or with a (by definition weaker) two-way encryption
process.

Yeah, in fact that's my point. If you cannot decrypt a password, there's no
way to return it , right?
So how come these "big guys" DO return it to you?
And what is the most secure way for it. Some of these companies deal with
finances, the security is a REAL issue over there...

Well it's up to you wether or not to encrypt passwords, but it's very
irresponsible not to. If somebody cracks your system, chances are
they'll get passwords that can be used on accounts your users have
in other places, so your customers suffer more than they should for
your lax in security.
People say "but if they're in my db then the damage is done" but
you're not the only one out there, and like it or not, there's no way
anybody can manage a different password on every damned site
that makes you sign up.

In a way that's also the user's responsibility, though... for example, the
passwords I use personally are divided into different levels of security.
If some BS site makes me sign up for a newsletter or something, I usually
give them the least-secure password. And the levels go on up, till we get
to stuff like server admin passwords, etc. It's all about knowing how much
to trust a site. Low-level passwords are generally used so often the only
point of using it is to fill in the space ;) Higher-level passwords should
be regarded as top secret info...
About determining what to use on your own site...
Think about what your users are likely to do. Although I personally use a
fairly tight multiple-level password system, many people use their pet's
name for every password they'll ever use... this is especially true for
those who are less familiar with computers & the Internet. I think it's a
good idea, no matter what kind of system you're building, to warn users of
the risks involved with passwords and give them a good guide for creating
an unguessable (and even cracking time intensive) password. At least then
you've made an attempt to educate your visitors; if you then store their
passwords in clear text and your system gets hacked, you've pushed the
blame from yourself to the visitor (ie, "you should've known not to use the
same password with hotmail, my site, and paypal").
[Sheesh this is getting longer than I intended for it to...]
Even so, I still recommend sticking with MD5 or Password-encrypted
passwords. The sites that offer to send passwords are inherently less
secure, and any client that's looking for high-security should _not_ send
passwords back to users. Just generate a new password and send it to the
user. (An even better solution involving an email containing a link was
posted a bit earlier today.) Hell, PayPal, who _better_ have its mind on
security, sends a new generated password to a confirmed physical mailing
address... that'd be pretty paranoid, but it's reassuring since the site
holds credit card info, bank account info, hell I think it even has each
user's social security number.
Ok, well that's my 2 cents (or was it more like 4?)...

Is anyone else having trouble in 4.0.4 and 4.0.4pl1 with readfile when the
argument is a http request to a script that sends a location header?
eg:
server1 - test.php
<? readfile("http://server2/location.php"); ?>
server2 - location.php
<? header("Location: http://some.other.url); ?>
Both Php 4.0.4 and 4.0.4pl1 return:
Warning: readfile("http://server2/location.php") - Success in
/path/to/test.php on line 1
I've got a box that still has 4.0.2 on it and this works fine on it.

I have a big string. How can I do to find some text inside and modify that
text? I was thinking about ereg_replace(). But it is capable to handle big
chuncks of text? If yes, it will notbe too heavy for theserver? Any other
ideas?
Thank you,
Rom
You can always use the simple str_replace or my old fave,
$newstring=implode($withthis,explode($this,$oldstring));
replaces all instances of $this with $withthis in $oldstring

if it is a simple del then use str_replace...
however if there's a more complicated logic, then you will need an
ereg_replace or preg_replace... will be heavier but more capable..
I use it on certain 10.000 words articles. And I replace not a big chunk of
code but some few words in a big chunk.
The best way to do it is on preparation of text, like when you are about to
insert the article in the database, then if it is not a user to do you can
wait some time, right? However if someone comes to read your site and you
prepare the article for him replacing there thousands of things, then you
have to care of your processing time.
typically ereg()s are quite slow,....

Maxim Maletsky
