[PHP] Re: method to prevent multiple logons of same account

[PHP Webmaster]

"Chris W. Parker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message

Hi.

Ok I've got the logging in of customer accounts settled but what I need
to work into the system is that of preventing more than one instance of
the same account.

If I logon right now as testuser1 on ComputerA and then go to ComputerB
and login as testuser1 it'll work just fine. What I want to do is one of
the following: (a) prevent the second instance of testuser1 from
succeeding, (b) logoff the first instance of testuser1 when the second
instance authenticates.

I know I'll have to keep a database and store the following: username
(or user id), session id, time of login, and/or time of last action.

Option A is very easy. I can easily look in the database and see if that
person is already logged in. If they are found in the db I just refuse
the second login attempt. Option B on the other hand seems a little more
difficult. As far as I've thought it out so far I'll have to check the
db on each page request to see if the user is still valid. That is to
say, if the second attempt is allowed to login I would have to change
the users session id from the first instance to the second instance.
Then when the first instance goes to a new page the application would
say "Hey wait a minute buddy! Your session id is different than the one
in the database. You've either timed out or someone else has logged in
with the same username."


Am I thinking this through correctly? Comments?



Chris.

I created a Members script a while ago and to prevent multiple logins with
the same username/password combination, I had a column called logged_in
inside the members table which would be marked '1' when the user was logged
in and '0' when the user logged out. When any user attempts to login, it
checks that the logged_in column is first marked as '0'.

I personally don't see anything wrong with the above method.

This problem could be easily fixed by using a "Forgotten password" script
with the membership system which logs the user out once the
username/password has been sent to an e-mail address.

Scrambled how, exactly? Remember, your browser is expecting HTML.

Personally, I'd try adding a Content-Type: text/plain header before the
output...

What do you mean by 'scrambled'? The following works for me:
echo '', `ps -ef`, '';

Re: [PHP] image upload

Thank you for all help I have just figured out that there is other 
variable prob. See pointer "--->":

 //$c2=$rw/w; <
$nh=$h*$c; //The Height Of The Thumbnails
//$rh=$h*$c2; //The Height Of The Large Pictures

$img = LoadJpeg($file);
//$img2 = LoadJpeg($file);
$thumb = imagecreatetruecolor($nw,$nh);
//$large = imagecreatetruecolor($rw,$rh);

imagecopyresampled($thumb,$img,0,0,0,0,$nw,$nh,$w,$h);
//  imagecopyresampled($large,$img2,0,0,0,0,$rw,$rh,$w,$h);
imagejpeg($thumb,$thname,95);
//  imagejpeg($large,$rname,95);

imagedestroy($img2);

[PHP] How to upload files

[Nitin]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a method to enable my users to upload thier html files and embedded 
pictures to my server. I think it should be something very easy, but as I'm doing it 
for the first time, I thought it would be better to seek help from the experienced 
one. So any idea, how can I do it easly and safely and what are the precautions I 
should take to check the files for valid HTML and pic files, so that they cann't 
upload any thing destructive. Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Nitin

Just remove first line of Your code or replace 'text/plain' with 
'text/html'.

And put  inside -tags, as anwsered previously.

[PHP] Wrapping code inside [code]xxx[/code] tags.

[PHP Webmaster]

Hi all,

I have on my site a part where users' can submit articles and no doubt their
articles will contain code. Code is wrapped inside of [code] tags, i.e.
[code][/code]

However, there is other text in the same article, so I need to format the
code inside of the [code] and [/code] tags using htmlspecialchars, nl2br and
highlight_file and the rest of the code needs to be formatted with nl2br,
strip_tags and possibly stripslashes/wordwrap.

A typical example:

---
Count number of rows inside of MySQL table

[code]

[/code]

Save the above code into a file called count.php
---

The code inside of the [code] and [/code] tags needs htmlspecialchars,
nl2br, highlight_file and the outside text needs nl2br, strip_tags,
stripslashes/wordwrap.

Sorry for being repetitive, but just need to make sure I make sense!
Any ideas appreciated

I'd suggest using string-handling functions (explode, split, preg_split,
etc) to chop the incoming text into seperate code and text blocks.

Then use highlight_string() (not highlight_file()) on the code blocks.

Iv'e got a .htaccess file protecting a site using HTTPS. I have tried using

Just a quick update.

To ensure that invalid login info was not being sent, I copied the text that
was in the address bar after submitting the login form, closed down IE,
pasted in the text and it went straight in without any login boxes appearing
?!!?

It seems to be only happening after I use a form!

[Becoming Digital]

A friend asked me to recommend a good XML/XHTML reference or guide.  I was able to 
point him to a number of websites, but he said that he would prefer a book.  Sadly, I 
don't know of any, so I'm hoping some of you can offer up your favourites.  Thanks a 
lot, and sorry for the OT.

Hi list,

I have just installed PHP4.3.3-Win32. I have a book that said create a
phpinfo.php (  ) file and place it in my Apache 2 htdocs
file. I did this and when I run it opens in a blank page of DreamweaverMX.
I tried to "open with" Internet Explorer and it does nothing.
First thing to check, is Apache running? If you are on Windows XP or 
2000, Apache2 installs as a service (you should see an icon in your task 
bar -- where the clock is).

If you are also using IIS, stop IIS first. By default IIS and Apache 
both run on port 80, so if one is running, the other won't start.

To find out if IIS is running, you can follow the following steps :

Start --> Run --> services.msc [enter]

This will pull up a list of services running on your system, where you 
can check the status of Apache and IIS.

My question is what file would tell it to open in DWMX or how do I get to
the opening set-up page of PHP.
By default, when you install Dreamweaver, it associates itself with 
files that it can edit (these include .php files). So, when you are 
double clicking the file in Windows, you are asking Windows to execute 
the default action for that file, which is to open it with dreamwever 
(the registered editor for that file type).

In order to view the file itself, you will have to access it via the 
browser. You can do this by typing in the URL to your webserver (usually 
http://localhost/). This is also a good way to check if your webserver 
is running or not.

I used php4.3.3-installer.exe but I got the message that it would have to be
installed manually.
This tells me that you are NOT running IIS because the Windows installer 
sets up PHP for IIS automatically, but it doesn't for Apache.

I have a tutorial that might help you out. You can find it at my website

Why the desire to define a method outside of a class definition besides

Does it continuously ask or just twice?  I've found a weird issue with .htaccess where 
if the domain name is a mask for a subdomain host and you try to access an .htaccess 
protected page it will prompt you for the password, redirect you to the subdomain and 
then prompt you again.

No, the HTML is done without the use of a wysiwyg editor.

Do you host the web site your self or pay for the hosting company?
I pay to have it hosted.

In addititon to PHP, JavaScript and MySQL, what other technologies do you
use to create the web site?
Drupal (which provides a OOP backend)

I was! If the global issue isn't an issue, and you really feel like
using globals, and you are comfortable with using them, and you don't
ever expect conflicts then go ahead and use them :) Its almost
impossible not to use at least one, unless you use a function as the
entry point to your code, in which case the name of the function has all
of the same issues. Personally I use a single array withing the global
scope to hold any necessary global configuration data. For example:

$GLOBALS['interJinn']['pageCompression'] = true;

This minimizes the chance of conflict IMHO.

Rob.

Interestingly, no, it's not documented in the manual (at least I couldn't
find any official documentation on NULL terminated strings as a definition
when I searched through the official docs). However, strings in PHP follow
the C convention of being NULL terminated.

[PHP] proc_open to return an encrypted string?

Hello,

I want to take a String variable and GPG encrypt it, then email the
encrypted string.

One of our developers suggested using "proc_open" and to "set the process to
'gpg -a --encrypt -r 0x35E891B0'", but couldn't clarify.

How is this done? Would it be something like this...?
-

$message = "Text or HTML string";

$pipes = "-a --encrypt -r 0x35E891B0";

$descriptorspec = array(0 => array("pipe", "r"), 1 => array("pipe", "w"), 2
=> array("file", "/tmp/error-output.txt", "a"));

$process = proc_open("gpg", $descriptorspec, $pipes);

if (is_resource($process)) {
fwrite($pipes[0], $message);
fclose($pipes[0]);
while(!feof($pipes[1])) {
echo fgets($pipes[1], 1024);
}
fclose($pipes[1]);
$return_value = proc_close($process);
}

send_mail($smtp_server, $smtp_port, $sender_email, $recipient_email,
$subject, $message, $headers);

Strings in PHP are binary safe and thus do not rely on null temrination.

You are, of course, right (just a brainfart on my part ...).

There are a number of functions that depend on null termination of 
strings; handing a string with embedded nulls in it to those functions may 
result in "interesting" things happening

[PHP] functions using other functions inside of classes?

If I have a class with several functions, and one of the functions is used
by the other functions in the class, how do I get to it?  In particular I'd
like the dbConnect, fail and success functions to be seen by the other
functions in the class.  I guess I just don't understand the way to use OO
yet.

Also, any comments on improving the logic to make sure I don't get duplicate
entries would be much appreciated  (I'm auto_incrementing a field named 'id'
upon insert).

And is somewhere written which functions depend on null termination?

example 1:
 I know that this URL is not the correct one (RFC 1738), but if the 0x01
 is encoded to \x01 why the 0x00 is not?

 $a = "http://xxx/test?a=aaa".chr(1).chr(2).chr(0)."bbb";
 include($a);

 (it is requesting: http://xxx/test?a=aaa\x01\x02)

example 2:

 $a = "1234 abc".chr(1).chr(0)."def";
 $b = escapeshellcmd($a);
 echo $b;

 [$b is "1234 abc".chr(1)]

[PHP] File read and sort question

[Susan Ator]

I have a directory with an ever-changing number of files. Some will be
removed and others added on a continuing basis.

The files are ascii with the following layout:

 Name
 Subject line
 mm/dd/
 hh:mm

I can easily get a list of files and pull the necessary information. I need,
however to be able to sort by RELEASE_DATE *and* RELEASE_TIME

Philosophically, what is the best way to handle this? I'm hesitant to pull
all the information into an array and use ksort since there are, on average,
~1000 messages in this directory which need to be processed.

Smells like a job for a database :)  Otherwise you'll need to either
read all the data in, or create another file heirarchy with the
appropriate redundancy to retrieve in sorted order, which incidentally
probably loads all the file names then sorts. Really it's a database,
database, database issue *grin*.

.htaccess where if the domain name is a mask for a subdomain host and you
try to access an .htaccess protected page it will prompt you for the
password, redirect you to the subdomain and then prompt you again.

If I use my login form, the login box pops up only once. If I copy the text
from the address bar (generated by the form) and paste it into the address
bar (after restarting the browser) the logon box does not appear.

Weird eh?

Re: [PHP] Newbie

[John Hicks]

Hi John--

Your name caught my eye, so I had to reply!

Unfortunately I run PHP on Linux so can't be sure about 
your situation with Windex.

But I think your problem is that you are opening your 
phpinfo.php file from your local file system. You 
should instead open it through your webserver. (i.e. 
enter your local domain name or IP address into your 
browser).

To explain: phpinfo() is a PHP function that simply 
lists a lot of useful information about your PHP 
setup. But for it to be invoked, it must be run 
through the PHP interpreter. If you open it via your 
local file system, you bypass PHP. (When you installed 
Dreamweaver, it probably configured Winduhs to invoke 
DW whenever you open a .php file locally.)

Hope this helps.

Regards,

(Another) John Hicks

RE: [PHP] File read and sort question

[Susan Ator]

The problem with using a database is the files within the directory are
changing on, sometimes, a minute by minute basis. I think reading them into
the database then deleting them when they are deleted from the directory
would be a huge amount of overhead. No?

Something else which I did not make clear in my previous post; when the
files are removed from the directory I no longer want them displaying in my
web page.

Smells like a job for a database :)  Otherwise you'll need to either
read all the data in, or create another file heirarchy with the
appropriate redundancy to retrieve in sorted order, which incidentally
probably loads all the file names then sorts. Really it's a database,
database, database issue *grin*.

Rob.

Actually PHP.net released new code that fixed it.. enough OS X people were
commenting on it that they finally decided to research the problem and sure
enough they found the problem and fixed the problem.  So it's all good..  I
had not run up against that line limit in any of my code, but apparently
there are packages out there that do include that many lines of code..
anyways it's fixed now so no worries.

Well, the source code for escapeshellcmd has:

   *NOT* safe for binary strings
*/

Some functions are documented as binary safe, i'm not entirely sure
what php's policy is on noting if a function is binary safe or not.

Not if they are changing on a minute by minute basis. Most of your
queries will be selects.

Double delete, from filesystem and from database. You pretty much have 3
choices that I can think of here:

  1. use a database which is suited to your task
  2. Use the filesystem but load the list everytime and apply ksort
 (you already said you don't want to do this).
  3. Use the filesystem, sort the entries, and cache the sorted result.
 (this is very database like).

Cheers,
Rob.

Re: [PHP] File read and sort question

[Chris Sherwood]

It appears that you will want to use a database. and update it when the
files are removed. (possibly provide a page to do uploading, modifications
and deletions with .. this way you can automate the db)

other than that you will have to recreate everything each time you process
or display the file list.
and dont read the file into the db unless your gonna do the modifications
there
just store a reference link in the db that way your overhead stays small.

[PHP] php 4.3.3 / pcntl_signal problem?

[Karl Pielorz]

Hi All,

[This is quite a long post, my apologies :(]

I have the CLI version of PHP 4.3.3 running under FreeBSD 5.1-Release. I 
seem to have encountered some 'strange' behaviour with signals...

I may have missed the plot so far as signals go under PHP, but from within 
my signal handler routine - I appear to only be able to call '1 level' of 
user functions, i.e. If I call a user function, which in turn calls another 
user-function, my signal handler appears never gets returned to.

e.g.

function my_sig_handler( $signo ){

 if( $signo == SIGTERM ){
   echo( "Term received, cleaning up...\n" );
   do_cleanup();
   echo( "Clean up done.\n" );
   exit();
 }
}

Appears to work, but _IF_ "do_cleanup()" in turn calls another routine, e.g.

function do_cleanup(){

 echo( "Cleaning up...\n" );
 write_my_log_entry( "Cleaning up" );
 echo( "Clean up is now complete.\n" );
}

All I see on the output is:

"
Term received, cleaning up...
Cleaning up...
[log entry written]
devbox>
"
If I comment out the "write_my_log_entry" function in do_cleanup() - I get:

"
Term received, cleaning up...
Cleaning up...
Done cleaning up
Clean up is now complete.
devbox>
"
Which is what I'd expect.

I have thoroughly checked "write_my_log_entry()" - and even if I just 
change that to a simple "echo" routine [i.e. no actual code] - if it's 
called from the signal handler, as a function being called by a function - 
the signal handler never see's the light of day once write_my_log_entry() 
has finished.

I can kind of work around this, by in-lining the code from the actual 
functions - but I'd rather not (for obvious reasons).

Anyone else out there done a lot of work with PHP signals who might be able 
to shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance,

-Karl

[PHP] Array of Classes

[Rob Wiltbank]

Greetings..

Doing some persistant connection socket-based PHP stuff and I'm trying to
figure out a few things:

1) How can I create an array of classes so they could be referenced, for
instance: $array[$uniqueID][$class->var] = 10; ?

2) Would it instantiate when that particular element was used and would the
constructor run at that point?

3) Any way to dispose/destroy of an object once it's done being used to free
up the resources?

Thanks,

RE: [PHP] File read and sort question

[Susan Ator]

I have no control over

1) file naming
2) file inclusion in the directory
3) file removal from the directory

This is all being handled through another program written in C.

So far I have been able to put the relevant info from each file into the
database then display with a simple order by.

Now, I'm attempting to get the correct flow for checking if the file is in
the database but not in the directory so I can delete it from the database.
Trial and error.

I'm currently building a dynamic site which draws page configuration

Here's my problem.  I want to link to a style sheet rather than

How often will they change, realistically? There's a case for just
hard-coding them - a CSS file is pretty much a config file anyway.

Or running a script as a cron job that updates the CSS once a day from the
config file.

Of neither of those are acceptable... CSS files don't actually have to end
with .css.

Rename your *.css file to *.php, and add a



line at the top of the file. If you go this route, make sure you've got your
caching headers set up correctly - if the browser comes back for the CSS
file every single time, you've defeated the object of having it.

You have 2 possibilities:
- empty the daabase before (or after) each run
- create an index on RELEASE_DATE and RELEASE_TIME and use REPLACE, but 
RELEASE_DATE and RELEASE_TIME must be unique

This is a question as to how I would apply variables from an ini file to

Using fopen() you would then write the variables to the CSS file. As
long as you fclose the CSS file before you get to the link rel in the

I'm not familiar with proc_open being that it is knew but yes the

The $pipes parameter isn't the arguments to the script but an array
that is returned with the pipe you defiend below.

> 
> $descriptorspec = array(0 => array("pipe", "r"), 1 => array("pipe", "w"), 2

In most cases you may want your #2 stream (the error stream) to go to
a pipe back to this script. so you want

 2=> array('pipe', 'r')

> 
> $process = proc_open("gpg", $descriptorspec, $pipes);

Pass your parameters like so:
   $process = proc_open("gpg -a --encrypt ...", $descriptorspec, $pipes);
  
> 
> if (is_resource($process)) {
> fwrite($pipes[0], $message);

Now you can check the error stream and do some error checking:
 while(!feof($pipes[2])) {
   $errors .= fgets($pipes[2], 1024);
 }
 fclose($pipes[2]);
 //... error checking stuff.

> while(!feof($pipes[1])) {

I believe you need to set some headers to tell the email program
that this message is encrypted, but I might be wrong.

Here are the two URLs I find most helpful:

1. http://www.w3.org/P3P/develop.html - This page is specifically for
developers and gives you the information you need to be considered
P3P-compliant.
2. http://www.w3.org/P3P/validator.html - This page will validate your policy
file or you entire site for compliance.

Hope that helps.

[PHP] timeout question

[David Coleman]

I have a PHP page that for some reason is taking an ungodly long time to
execute.  I suspect that this is simply b/c I’m running Apache 1.3 /
MySQL 4.013-nt, PHP 4, Zend studio 3.0, and MySQL GUI on a 266 MhZ win2K
server.  (Yes people, I know I’m choking the poor thing, but I can’t
afford a new server right now.)
 
My question to the group is:
 
Does anyone know how I can increase my timeouts on page generation?
Halfway through the rowset, the page stops generating and returns to the
browser cut off at whatever point the server (apache, PHP or MySQL, I
dunno which) gave up and decided the page was taking too long.  It seems
to be a 90 second html response timeout imbedded somewhere in my
configuration, but I have no idea where to look to change this value to
unlimited, or maybe to 600 seconds or something more reasonable for the
hideous rowsets that my project is dealing with.
 
I don’t know if this is a PHP question, but I’m trying PHP, Apache, and
MySQL in case there is a cursor timeout or something…
 
Anyone feel like sharing some nifty tricks to help me tweak my
performance?  I don’t care if the page takes 10 hours to generate, I’m
on a local secure network and I want my connections open that long. (I’d
also like to know if there’s any tricks to not using cursors and loading
re-usable recordset-style objects into mysql_result variables, so I
don’t have to hit the db every time I want to re-use a loaded rowset.
But let’s get my pages to finish generating first.

caching is built into pcre library, all your expressions are

Re: [PHP] php5 and possible oop features/questions

[Tit \"Black\" Petric]

yeah i know, php5 would benefit greatly from something like this

the problem with php in general is that you cant seperate a class over
multiple files (as you must have one file with the class sometimes quite
big, over 50kb)

i guess you can split it someways with the implements feature, having a
class implementing multiple ones, but its not very dynamic. for a scripting
engine the new OOP stuff seems just a bit too static to enjoy.

extending arbitary classes dynamically would be a nice option, but so far
its just static, which may proove to be a bit of a problem, since the php
dev's think java is the way to go, but java just like any other language
needs to be compiled to bytecode only once, php on the fly. why not think
more out of the box, like andrei did with aggregate in php4?

it may proove useful, only extending a class with the functions you wish
depending on arbitary inputs over http or databases or whatnot, think of a
modular system where you only need 1 classname from 5 beeing
extended/implemented, having such features would benefit overall execution
of the code, since you could "hack" a complete system with only the
components you need instead of all of them, in the end splitting class
definition and class members in different files, making it easier to write
documentation and also helping the overall managebility of the code itself -
why search for a function in a 80kb class file when you can select a file
only applying to the function scope, and then search that, much smaller
file.

in general scope the following is what i learned with php in the last 3
years i've been developing with it:

OOP lacks dynamic patterns - in general it's a step back with what you could
do with it, php5's oop support is just laugable.
(i mean, what is it with the __constructor() and __destructor()? whats wrong
with classname() and ~classname() ? and the different naming conventions?
all_i_want() getMeSomeIcecream() - pick one or both, and stick with it)
the more code files you use with a project, the more likely it is that your
project will preform slowly.. including one huge file is faster than 5 small
ones
huge files dont do anything for code management, more time you are searching
for the function itself, than acctually coding new stuff

sometime you have to decide what do you like better, clean code which is
inneficient, or dirty code which is efficient, staying in the middle with
the existing OOP syntax takes a lot of work, and you cant please everyone.

personally i preffer clean & efficient, but you really cant win if you have
to include every class of a bigger OOP project, instead of just the ones you
need to be loaded..

i consider spawning lots of instances of "needed" objects and using them
from others et cetera just as bad/good as not using oop at all. you dont use
OOP untill you acctually use classes for more than just embedding functions
into them.

i hope i make sense?

Sure,

This is the code for the login form: (login_form.html)



Control Panel Login



Domain Name: 
Username: 
Password: 





This is the code for the login processor file: (login_process.php)

Error:One or more form fields have been left
blank.";
 echo "Please use your browsers' back button and fill in all form
fields.";
 exit;
 }
 else {
 $redirect_url = "https://"; . $username . ":" . $password . "@" . $domain .
":2083/frontend/x/index.html";
 header("Location: $redirect_url");
 exit;
 }
}
else {
header("Location: login_form.html");
exit;
}

?>

I know that there is no username/password validation code inside the
login_process.php file, but this is not my priority at the moment.

[PHP] Any idea how to do this?

[Ryan A]

Hi,
Sometime back I used to visit this URL:
http://www.groundbreak.com/graphics.html
to make the graphics for some products as it was easy to use and give pretty
decent results, but now i see that the owner has converted it into a paysite
and is asking for a whopping 200$ per membership :-(

So I have decided that I am going to try to make the same thing on our site
but offer it free to the public...only problem is...I dont know where to
start and was hopeing someone here can give me tips/urls or links to boost
me on my way...

Any help appreciated thanks in advance.

Cheers,
-Ryan

I've also come across a site called www.google.com. Can anyone tell me how
to make that for my site, also? If you can just send me the script, that'd
be great.

Time to figure out what this thing goes: .05
Time to implement what it found out: .03

Very expensive for a web app, and would strongly discourage this for
a web app.  maybe for a gui audio player I could understand this
overhead.

The code I'm trying now is:
$_GET['a'] = 'active';
include('forums/ssi.php');
Well, since everyone has commented on the including-same-file idea, 
might I point that this : $_GET['a'] = 'active'; looks a bit strange.

HEHEHEHE good one Chris, John seems unusally snappy today...
But seriously, this cant be ALL that hard, not even a suggestion of where to
start?
I have searched on google but have never really tried any of php's image
stuff so need help from someone who has...or atleast a starting point.

Cheers,

Hrmm what can you do to the files? If this is a linux system, you can 
write a shell script that will do this sort of thing for you, and spit 
the contents out in another directory. Kinda overheadish too, but 
atleast its something different than "database, database, database" ... 
which to be frank, is what I would have said also.

You can create a small script that will quite simply ... do what your 
php script does, but at an interval. You can then take the delay out of 
the the php script, and just run a cron job that repeats the script.

Something tells me a that PERL or even some fancy shell scripting 
trickery would be faster than doing it from php, but I couldn't give you 
a factual calculation of execution times.

Just the thoughts of someone that obviously is lacking in sleep.

I believe for some, it states in the manual. Something like "this

You know PHP? Take a look at the image functions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php

You can do all sort of things with images.
