[PHP] Re: HTTP_REFERER

[Catalin Trifu]

Hi,

It does support any HTTP information, and since
HTTP_REFERER is part of the HTTP spec. it is supported.
You can find it in the $_SERVER variable.
FYI: The referer is not a reliable information.

Cheers,
Catalin

[PHP] ereg

[alexander sundli]

I use this expression to remove oneline comments:
iereg_replace("//([^\n]*)\n",'',$code);

I need to make a check if this expression is inside a string. If it is, its
not a comment.

I think it has something to do with context..

Anyone who could help me?

Re: [PHP] Refresh Error

[Marek Kilimajer]

Does your explorer ask you if you want to resend the information? It 
does. You post your form once again. If you don't want this to happen, 
use header("Location: http://yourserver/your_form_page.php";); redirect.

Okay, I'm displaying an entire table of numbers from my database.  Using a

Add Amount







Everything seems to work fine, up until you click the refresh button, then
it will add whatever you just added to the table again, even if you have
nothing typed into the form and dont hit the submit button.  So basically I
can add 500 by typing it in and clicking the submit button, then continue to
add an addition 500 every time I click the submit button.  I want to be able
to refresh the page, but I cant figure out what is going wrong.  Any ideas?

It depends on what exactly you are trying to accomplish.  Are you trying
to restrict access to your email program based on the HTTP_REFERER which
may be real or may be forged?

Hi Dave,

Yes php can, but what application will you connect to?
On my old work we develop php and c programs to do it. Although the main
client that connects is on C/Unix but when the people wanted to send
messages we do it on php then web to c then c program to smsc server.

Since it's a button, you could always send the SCRIPT_FILENAME to the
pop-up window via a GET or POST method.

[PHP] caching program...

[Andrea Tricco]

Hi,



I'm using the function "file_get_contents()" to replicate the content of a
remote html page on my server.

But, the function file_get_contents() works even when the name of the file
is not specified. For example:

"http://www.php.net"; rather that "http://php.net/index.php";



Does a method exist to know the name of the file received form web server?



I would like to write a program that automatically downloads the images
inserted into a html page.

For this reason, I need to determine the paths of the images in order to get
them from the web server.



In other words, my program should work as the "Save as" function (File menu)
of any Web browser.



Can anybody help me?



Best regards.

No way, it might be anything from apache's DirectoryIndex directive. 
Browsers don't know that either.

You could pull out all the img src attributes and if they don't contain
"http://"; then prepeand the address of te page then download otherwise just
downlocad the url, but to get the page to work in the new location you may
have to replace the img src attributes

Re: [PHP] caching program

[Andrea Tricco]

For the images that don't contain "http://"; my program is already able to
get them from the web server.
In other cases, I have to determine the name of the directory where the html
page is located.
Thus, the equivocal paths are the problem, for example:

www.php.net/manual/it/index.php

www.php.net/manual/it/

www.php.net/manual/it

The reply of the server web is the same in the three cases.
The input of the my program could be any paths between the mentioned ones. I
need to poll out the path www.php.net/manual/it/

Best regards.
Andrea

OK, I've now seen the other followups requesting backup for this, so:

HTML 4.01: At http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.2, the
spec says:

"By default, SGML requires that all attribute values be
 delimited using either double quotation marks (ASCII
 decimal 34) or single quotation marks (ASCII decimal 39)."

XHTML 1.0 relies on the XML 1.0 spec for this, and the XML 1.0 spec, at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#NT-AttValue, defines an attribute
value thusly:

 AttValue::='"' ([^<&"] | Reference)* '"'  
 |  "'" ([^<&'] | Reference)* "'" 

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

Re: [PHP] caching program

I'm sorry, but in the previuos email there has been an error.
I'm sending correct one.
-
For the images that contain "http://"; my program is already able to
get them from the web server.
In other cases, I have to determine the name of the directory where the html

Thus, the equivocal paths are the problem, for example:

www.php.net/manual/it/index.php

www.php.net/manual/it/

www.php.net/manual/it

The reply of the server web is the same in the three cases.
The input of the my program could be any paths between the mentioned ones. I
need to poll out the path www.php.net/manual/it/

[PHP] Training Help

[Ryan Stagg]

I recently aquired a copy of the book PHP and Mysql web development by SAMS.

I have begun reading through it and it seems to be a very usefull book
however I started doing the first exersise which is a simple HTML Processor,
the HTML page is as follows:



Bob's Auto Parts - Order Results


Bob's Auto Parts



Item
Quantity


Tires



Oil



Spark Plugs










And the processor PHP page is:



Bob's Auto Parts - Order Results


Bob's Auto Parts
Order Results
Order Processed at ";
 echo date("H:i, ");
 echo "on ";
 echo date ("jS F");
 echo "";
 echo "Your order is as follows:";
 echo "";
 echo $tireqty." tires";
 echo $oilqty." bottles of oil";
 echo $sparkqty." spark plugs";
?>



I get an error this code is taken directly from the book.

Bob's Auto Parts
Order Results
Order Processed at 21:08, on 12th September


Your order is as follows:

Notice: Undefined variable: tireqty in

Re: [PHP] Training Help

[Jon Haworth]

Hi Ryan,

Sounds like register_globals is turned off on your server (this is generally
a Good Thing). Rather than having all your form fields converted directly
into variables - which your book is assuming, as it's how PHP used to do
it - you'll need to access them via the $_POST array.

Try changing this line:

>  echo $tireqty." tires";

To this:

echo $_POST["tireqty"]. " tires";

Search the manual or the list archives for "register_globals" and you'll get
loads of info about this.

Cheers
Jon

Hi Ryan,

> $oilqty = $_POST['oilqty'];
> $sparkqty = $_POST['sparkqty'];

That'll certainly fix the problem, but it kind of defeats the point of using
$_POST :-)

Ideally you'd clean the data at this point to make sure no-one's trying to
submit anything nasty (Google on "SQL injection" for an idea of what can be
done).

Seeing as these are quantities, checking them via PHP's is_numeric()
function would probably be a good idea, and making sure they're inside
sensible ranges (between 0 and 50, say) might be worthwhile as well.

Yeah, I figured someone would ask that. :) I couldn't find anything

AFAIK, they are required in XML and XHTML. It's a good habit to get into

with regular HTML, also (although, yes, both will work in HTML).
[/snip]

The best form HTML attributes is within double quotes. This stems from
the parent language of all of the mark-up languages, SGML (standard
generalized mark-up language). XML and XHTML both more closely follow
the rules/recommendations of the parent language. HTML validation
engines genrally throw exceptions if attributes are not quoted. It has
always been considered good form.

Re: [PHP] input field masks

[Brent Baisley]

PHP is server side, it has nothing to do with client side, aside from 
server up some information. You can, and should, validate the input 
using PHP after it is submitted.
For client side validation you would need to use javascript. You can do 
what you are trying to do in javascript, but it will get very 
complicated since you need to use the onkeypress to capture and process 
each key stroke to make sure the / remain.
I think using PHP to validate after submission would be a lot easier 
and much more flexible. If you do it right, the user could put in 
something like +3 to enter a date three days from todays date.

[PHP] Using PHP to do something with Acrobat PDF....

Hi Fellas!!

Know of any good websites that would provide tutorials, step-by-step,
and/or a PHP scripts of creating a PDF, putting datas into PDF, along with
Printing PDF, Saving PDF files, etc...  I have no experience with using PHP
and PDF so I need both a tutorial and quick, plain to the point of PHP
script of PDF stuffs.  From there I can start reviewing on how it work, what
function is being used, etc.  Then look at all of the available PHP
functions for PDF, add what I need or take out what I don't need, etc.
(Customize), etc...

Another question, does using PDF require the use of some configuration
in php.ini??  How does PHP do the PDF stuffs if there is no PDF on the
server?  Etc...

[PHP] Header and dfile download bug???

[Tristan . Pretty]

Hi all,
I have a download for that collects data from a user (name, e-mail etc) 
then I pass that info to a database and give them the file.
In the form, I pass two hidden variables, header and details_captured.
So when I post the form to $PHP_SELF, it detects this and then activates 
the header code, and hopefully gives the file to the user.
The $bu variable and others are from the previous form too.

So, it works great on my desktop here at work, but I just got a few mails 
from random users, who complained that they saw an error screen after 
trying to download pdf's.
Dunno if this is a PDF problem, or if my script is bad?

So, here is my code... (that site at the very top of my page.)
The headers after the else statement are simply to avoid page caching, so 
we can ignore them in this example.
So, why does this work for me and many others, but not all?



if (($header == 'collect') && ($details_captured == "yes")) {
session_start();
$path = "/home/site/download/$bu/$file";
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($path));
header("Content-Type: " . filetype($path));
readfile("$path");
} else {
session_start();
Header("Cache-control: private, no-cache"); 
Header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); # Past date
Header("Pragma: no-cache");
}

Re: [PHP] Integrating an Applet with PHP

[Todd Cary]

Warren -

Well, your ideas are working like a champ *AND* I am getting a little
better idea of how Applets work - "little" mind you!  However, another
challenge has emerged: why does it work in IE and not in Netscape 7.1?

The original test script contained this long assignment to the DATA
parameter in some sort of "crazy text".  At that time, I did not
understand the meaning of "param" nor did I think about BASE64
encoding.  And that is why in IE, the Editor had text in the initial
screen - it was assigned encoded text.

So, now the script works with IE but in the Netscape browser the
encoded text is not recognized.  Do you have any ideas as to why that
may be?  My need for a Java based HTML Editor is so folks at my
client's business who have Macs, PCs and Linux based computers can edit
HTML based text in a PHP app.

  Again, this is a guess, but it looks like two
parameters to the applet are used;
   
  One called Document and another to indicate
that BASE64 encoding was used to encode the html so that the browser
doesn't try to render the html into a page.
   
      when you output your form (FROM PHP, of course),
somehow include the following among the parameters for the applet;
   
  echo "base64_encode($htmlsource)."\"\n"
  ."\n";
   
  odds are against this working(I'm a
pessimist), but it is what I would try before moving on.

Vail, Warren wrote:

  There may be other methods, but one that seems to be available from your form will require some _javascript_ code.  Clicking the button located below the applet (onclick event), performs an assignment to the textarea.value (located below the button) the result returned from the applet.gettext() method (actual statement below).

document.EkitDemoForm.TextViewer.value = document.EkitDemoForm.Ekit.getDocumentText();

I would suspect you could to this assignment to a hidden html field and then do a form submit to pass the "hidden" value to your php program on your server.  Don't forget to have your form action field invoke your php program and with method=post you could retrieve the value as below; 

$htmltext = $_POST["hiddenfld"];

For the above examples the url is the string up to the last '/' char (as
long as the string after the '/' char has an extension ie a dot and three or

This is a bit more tricky, you could just grab the url with and without the

Subject: Re: [PHP] getting download resume to work


Can you help explain this code? It looks like you're on the right track but
have a few flaws (at first glance).

Is there a reason to be using sessions here?
>>>ANS: not really as of yet, but, there will be as I will be

What does $extstart contain now?
>>>ANS: just the first part of the name, before the extension, (for no
reason)

> $ext=substr($file, $extstart+1);

So $ext is now a piece of the file. Why?
>>>ANS: this is done so that I can set the
==header("Content-Type: application/".$ext);==

> $dir="d:\\downloadable_courses";
> $size=filesize($dir."\\".$file);
> header("Accept-Ranges: bytes");

So $size is now the size of the entire file (not the piece).
>>>ANS: correct

> if(isset($_ENV['HTTP_RANGE'])) {
>  list($a, $range)=explode("=",$_ENV['HTTP_RANGE']);

So $a is now bytes, and $range is something like 123-456
>>>ANS: partly correct, what I receive is
=="Range: bytes=14232-"==
it has no last number.

>  str_replace($range, "-", $range);

This makes no sense. The range requested is bytes 123 through 456, and
you're
converting this to 123456. Why?
>>>ANS: when I left it on what it would send to the browser would be
=="header("Content-Range: 123--456/457");"==
(it would tack on an extra dash symbol (-) and the browser did not
understand it)

>  $size2=$size-1;
>  header("Content-Range: $range$size2/$size");
>  $new_length=$size2-$range;

This will definitely not work, based on my comments above.
>>>ANS: it appears to work enough that FlashGet will try to
recover/resume and it completes, but, the byte count is always off by around
1 or so bytes and I cannot figure out why...

If someone sends this header:

Range: bytes=0-1023

and your resource is 2048 bytes in size, your response should include this
header:

Content-Range: bytes 0-1023/2048

Work on generating the correct string before you bother actually using them
as
headers and trying for the full solution.
>>>ANS: I have set it to log to a text file previously and it is always
1 byte different.  I am at a total loss as to where it is happening, I will
attach the the log files that I have been pouring over as well the actual
script to you...

Hope that helps.

[PHP] Simple (?) var_dump question

[Thomas Panzarella]

Hi.  I'm new to the list so sorry if this has already been asked before ...

I want to find a way to capture the var_dump output as a string so I can write it to a 
log file ... (for example):

$logger->debug(var_dump($foo));

So, the above line would get a "var_dump stringified" version of $foo and pass it to 
my logger's debug method.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Tom.

You need to use output buffering to capture the output with var_dump.

Or you can use print_r(), which will give you a similar output and can be
returned to a varible.

I'm pretty sure ActiveX controls don't run on anything besides MS
Windows Lockinware (TM).  There are a number of other things that
netscape does not fully support (try loading a page with an iframe tag
in Netscape).  You probably ran into another such problem.

Not true.  You have to use output buffering for print_r() as well.  print_r()
just returns a boolean value.  
It'd be nice if you could have it so that either (or both) print_r() or var_dump()
could return a value w/o using buffering...

RE: [PHP] Simple (?) var_dump question

aiaiaia ... you are all pretty right, for another function was forged.
var_export has a "return" flag as second argument where print_r and var_dump
both have other variables as second (and third, and fourth, and sixth) ..

So you can do: $logger->debug(var_export($Var), true)); which will log the

Are you sure they have IIS running? the erro message you mentioned on

could it be possible that they upgraded their system recently and

print_r() is also a BOOL for the second argument that controls whether a
value is returned or displayed.

The only difference between print_r() and var_export() produces valid PHP
code.

The output from var_export() can only be captured with output buffering.

That should say var_export() produces valid PHP code, while print_r() does

of my development is for IE browsers (they have 90% of the market I hear), so I'm not 
sure I can help much here.  If you can break down what works and what doesn't, it 
might help.

If the applet doesn't run correctly, I'd look for some Java release compatibility 
(maybe where activex comes into play).  I think you can update the java release for 
the NS browser, but you'll have to get each user to do that.

If, on the other hand, the problem is with the JavaScript, you should be able to 
conditionally generate working JavaScript for each browser (see PHP get_browser().  
You might also enquire about the specs for the editing tool, to see if it supports 
other methods of encoding the document.

Wish I could be of more help here, but I've about reached the end of my chain 
(knowledge) on this one.  I guess it would be too much to ask, but if you have the 
Java source, most people can sort of read Java, even though they are not proficient 
with it, and that could tell you a lot.

I am implementing a site with an Iframe, and having no problems with recent releases 
of Netscape, older releases are a problem, even with IE.

I have another site that does WYSIWYG editing in IE and provides a TEXTAREA for those 
NS users who insist on using stone axes, and it presents one or the other by detecting 
the browser in php.

good luck,

Warren Vail

I'm pretty sure ActiveX controls don't run on anything besides MS
Windows Lockinware (TM).  There are a number of other things that
netscape does not fully support (try loading a page with an iframe tag
in Netscape).  You probably ran into another such problem.

[PHP] Calling a function.

[Vincent M.]

Hello,

Is there any way to call a function with a variable inside the call. ie:

 if($preferences != "") {
   dis_display$$preferences() ;
 }
If $preferences = "menus" this will call the function dis_displaymenus()

Thanks,
Vincent.

RE: [PHP] Simple (?) var_dump question [summarization]

[Wouter van Vliet]

WHOW .. that bool parameter never found it's way to me .. untill now ..
appears to be a new one in PHP4.3.

So, now let's summarize the var dumping and export functions:

print_r($mixed, [bool return])
- Produces quite readable output

var_export($mixed, [bool return])
- Produces valid php code

var_dump($mixed, $mixed1, ..)
- Produces quite unreadable and invalid php code
- tells you exactly what the type of your variable is

Think I got it quite right and complete, didn't I?

Re: [PHP] help with message from tech support

It's definitely possible they upgraded recently and screwed up somethng.
They are interland (www.interland.com) -- a pretty big host. The company I
work for has had tons of problems with them, though -- the site goes down a
lot. I'm wondering if this is really "malicious" or if they just screwed up.

Re: [PHP] Integrating an Applet with PHP

[Todd Cary]

Dan -

I am surprised that an Open Source applet would rely on ActiveX.  It
appears that there is something I am not doing correctly in setting the
DATA param for Netscape.

Please overlook my ignorance about browsers and applets as I try to get
a better understanding, but is BASE64 encoding/decoding a feature of IE
and not , possibly, of  Netscape?

[PHP] email attachment cannot be opened

[Chris Hayes]

hi,
I've made a form to send out emails with attachments, and the attachments 
look ok when they arrive but the content is somehow bad. I cannot open gifs 
nor can word open the documents. Looking at the content something may be 
wrong with the encoding: if i open the GIF file the normal one as well as 
the attachment I sent start with GIF89a, but then they start to be different.
I think this is the relevant part of my code:

	$atta_type=$_FILES['AttachedFile']['type'];
			if 
(strpos($atta_type,';')){$atta_type=substr($atta_type,0,strpos($atta_type,';'));} 
//for  Opera
	$atta_tmp_name=$_FILES['AttachedFile']['tmp_name'];
		
	$fp = fopen($atta_tmp_name,"rb");
	 	while (!feof($fp)){$filedata .= addslashes(fread($fp,1200));}

	   $filedata = chunk_split(base64_encode($filedata));

   $attachment = $atta_type."\n\n"
."--$boundary\n"
."Content-Type: $atta_type"."; name = \"$atta_name\"\n"
."Content-Transfer-Encoding: $encoding"
."\n\n$filedata\n\n"
."--$boundary--\n";
Just for fun the headers as well:

			'Subject: '.$subject

Try running Netscape 7.1 on Linux and the iframe may be broken under
certain conditions.  

As always, your mileage may vary, and they may have patched Netscape by
now.

Re: [PHP] Integrating an Applet with PHP

[Dan Anderson]

Microsoft (being a monopoly) decided it did not want to follow Sun's
java standard and effectively froze their version of Java available in
IE @ Java 2 1.2 .  (or something like that -- they're currently
finishing up Java 2 1.5).  So if you wanted to use certain things with
microsoft you either needed to use ActiveX controls (Microsoft's answer
to Java) or Java 1.2 functionality (and there is some talk that
Microsoft will drop all support for Java in its next version of IE).

So, either (1 of the 3):

a.  You must install Sun's Java Plug In for all computers running your
program.  (If it relies on java > 1.2).
b.  You must use ActiveX controls and forget about non MS Machines --
or code 2 versions for MS and non MS machines.
c.  The problem is that Base 64 refers to 64 bit machines and no 32 bit
architecture will support it.  (Shouldn't be the case -- Java guarantees
that different types will be the same number of bytes).

RE: [PHP] Integrating an Applet with PHP

[Vail, Warren]

Turns out I needed to install NS to do some testing in the next few days, so I did that
went to the URL with your editor and got the following alert out of the brand new NS 
install;

Information on this page requires a plug-in for:

   application/x-java-applet; version=1.4

Communicator can retrieve the plug-in for you from:

http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.4/plugin-install.html




The SmartUpdate feature makes it easy to install new plug-ins.  To
take advantage of SmartUpdate, you must enable Java, Javascript
and Autoinstall in the Advanced panel of the Preferences, then
click the plug-in icon on the page.


What would you like to do?

 [ Get the Plug-in ]  [ Cancel ]


Clicked the Get the Plug-in button,
product not found (of course).

Found the following page that may have what you need;

http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/

Todd, I'd follow Dan's suggestion (a) and make the plug-in readily 
available to your users, by adding a link to the download site
on your editor page.

Bet you didn't know that this routine was written by Pandora ;-)

You didn't say how the images were placed in the db but you did indicate they were 
jpeg format.

I'd try;

fetching the db column in to a string variable;

then;

$im = imagecreatefromstring($imagestring);
header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($im);
imagedestroy($im); 

good luck,

Warren Vail

Subject: [PHP] Displaying Blobs by a newbie


Hi All,

I have some images in a mysql database. I wish to display all these images
on a PHP Page.

I have created a query to retrieve all the images from the database but all
that is displayed is characters.
I have the Content-Type as image/jpeg in the header of the page to display
the images.

Can anyone advise me or point me in the right direction to rectify this.

Thanks very much.

Phil.

I found the culprit!
I copied the filereading part without checking too good, and it had an

I have only dabbled in this so I don't know the proper terms and
technologies used, but I'll try to pass on what I've learned.

It requires a few things.

1. PHP needs to send the proper header. (At the top of each page.)



2. You also need to send the correct language info from within the page
itself. I suggest going to a japanese page and looking at the source.

3. You need an editor that can handle the japanese language. I stopped
trying to make japanese pages because I could not find a suitable editor
(granted I didn't try very hard and I wasn't about to buy something).



Hope this helps!
Chris.

This tends to be my favorite too, because of the auto-indenting when you hit

That first error is being caused by your syntax error above. Since there is
parse error in the class file, the second file cannot create an instance of
the class, hence the second error. Fix that line above and both will go
away.

[PHP] Re: ereg

[Dave Dash]

I think this is a lot more complicated than somethign a simple regular
expression can handle.

You would need to do soemthign that reads the entire file, up until the
first occurrence of your '//'

and in the meantime do a count that checks to make sure all the quotes are
closed.

I'd be interested to see what you come up with... although I'm sure just
borrowing some syntax highlighting code.

Re: [PHP] Using PHP to generate Acrobat PDF...

[Evan Nemerson]

Well there's clibpdf and pdflib, which you can get info from the PHP manual 
for. Unfortunately, both are non-free. php.net/pdf and php.net/cpdf

If you would like a pure PHP (no extensions or recompiling required), I used 
fpdf (fdpf.org) in a project a while back, and had positive results.


I've been talking to Michael Still, and he has agreed to release the next 
version of Panda under the LGPL. I'd already written a PHP extension for 
v0.53, but couldn't distribute due to licensing conflicts. According to 
stillhq.com (Michael's web site), the next release of Panda is imminent. As 
soon as he releases the new version, I'll update my extension and release it. 
So if you can wait a while (couple weeks, maybe? depends on Michael), you'll 
have a free (speech & beer) solution.

If you want, take a look at http://www.coeusgroup.com/panda All the licensing 
probelms discussed there are resolved by Panda being LGPL'd, and the 
extension will be released under the PHP license.

Microsoft (being a monopoly) decided it did not want to follow Sun's

Re: [PHP] Cookie advice

[Robert Cummings]

I don't think there's any kind of consensus :) But to perhaps lead you
in the right direction... how long do you think should pass before
someone who logged in once before will log in again? if you expect a
longer than 30 day time period, then 30 days is too short. If you expect
within a week or 2 then 30 days is probably perfect. In my opinion, if
they log in once a month, the benefit of "remember me" is almost nill
given the frequency of usage.

[PHP] Session stealing, ..

[Wouter van Vliet]

Hi All,

There's always been a lot of discussion about how safe sessions are. I'd
like to store a complete user object (instance of a class) in a session with
the best security measures possible. Who doesn't.

Now, to prevent that the session file from the server gets stolen by some
other user of the virtual host I did this to my object:

 87 # Called upon serialization of the object. It stored the IP
address and serialization time.
 88 function __sleep() {
 89 $this->Night = Array('Time' => time(), 'IP' =>
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
 90 return Array('Data', 'Night');
 91 }
 92
 93 # When deserialized we are called and need to check if the
stored IP address equals the client's
 94 function __wakeup() {
 95 global $Log;
 96 if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != $this->Night['IP']) {
 97 $Log->Warning('IP Address changed during
sleep and wakeup, will clear userdata');
 98 $this->Data = Array();
 99 };
100 }

Upon sleep it stores the IP and time in the session data, and when it smells
coffee my object wakes up, checks if he's still being used on the same host
and if not the userdata is plainly cleared.

This all probably takes care about the problem with session id's in the
query string, which is known as referrer to the next website our visitor
visits. What I'm worrying and wondering about now are other users of the
server my site's at. They can most likely go into the /tmp folder and just
read my session files. Not Nice. I know it has been discussed for quite some
times now .. but never really found anything else than warnings for stuff,
no real solutions.

So, get your idea's rolling and let the good things flow...

Re: [PHP] Session stealing, ..

[Jason Sheets]

I wrote a custom session handler that encrypts the session before it is 
stored in /tmp that way even if someone has access to the session files 
they are useless.

It stores the randomly generated encryption key on the user's client 
base64_encoded, which can be intercepted as well all know but it still 
increases the difficulty of reading the /session files now they must 
have access AND sniff the encryption key.  Additionally for the more 
secure sites I require the user access the site through SSL so the 
cookie is not passed in plain text.

If you are interested I'll see if I can send it to you, it uses my Crypt 
Class (PHP class simplifying Mcrypt usage).

98 $this->Data = Array();
99 };
   100 }
Upon sleep it stores the IP and time in the session data, and when it smells
coffee my object wakes up, checks if he's still being used on the same host
and if not the userdata is plainly cleared.
This all probably takes care about the problem with session id's in the
query string, which is known as referrer to the next website our visitor
visits. What I'm worrying and wondering about now are other users of the
server my site's at. They can most likely go into the /tmp folder and just
read my session files. Not Nice. I know it has been discussed for quite some
times now .. but never really found anything else than warnings for stuff,
no real solutions.
So, get your idea's rolling and let the good things flow...

[PHP] array encapsulate

[Bill]

I'd like to do this, but it produces an error:

if ($_POST{["detail"][11][116]} && !$_POST{["detailtext"][19][114]}) {

so I'm left doing this

if ($_POST["detail"][11][116] && !$_POST["detailtext"][19][114]) {

How can I encapsulate the array so it is a multi-dimensional array and not just
a string length?

You don't have to store session data in /tmp -- it can be in any directory
you choose. Of course, that directory will still need to be world readable
and writeable in order to work, so this is more a case of security through
obscurity though it may help.

I don't think there really is a bulletproof solution to your problem,
though, for a number of reasons: if you choose to store the sensitive
information in a database rather than a session file, you are still left
with the fact that at some point, an unprivileged Apache user needs to be
able to get to it. That means world-readable database credentials, access
scripts, configuration files, and so on.

One option is to use Apache's suexec feature* and offload some of your
sensitive data access onto scripts and files that are maintained only by
you.

Jason's suggestion for encrypting session data is a good one, though it
also suffers from the drawback above: ultimately most of the code required
to access your session information will need to be open in some way,
including the encryption key.

I think if you're really storing sensitive information, you shouldn't be
on a host shared with people you don't know/trust to begin with.

I'm not exactly sure what you're array structure is but that syntax is 
correct.
$_POST['key1']['key2']...
