Personally, I prefer to use the @ error-suppression operator for this:

if (@$_POST['checkboxname'] == 'on')
{ echo 'Selected';

[PHP] create a php timetable problem.

2003-11-05 Thread irinchiang



Hi all:
A question to ask all PHP programmers out there...
Right now I am doing a timetable system whereby in each cell, it will display 
a class code eg.3PE1234. But right now I want it to be in the way that I want 
the user to be able to add the class code to the table cell through a user 
interface. I was thinking I could put a "-"(dash) in all my cell which will be 
clickable. When user click on this "dash" they will be directed to a user 
interface with a drop down menu of class codes. (Class codes are retrieved 
from database). I will then select the class code I would like to put into 
this cell. Once submit, I will be linked back to the timetable , this time the 
cell should display the class code I have added to the cell earlier on. Any 
idea how can I go about doing this??...But anyway, I  find this solution is 
not ass user friendly as user will have to add class codes to the cell by a 
clicking "cell-by-cell".

 As each cell represents which day and what time the class will be 
held. I was thinking of an alternate solution whereby I can create an user 
interface such that when I have a drop down menu displaying the time eg.
1. 12.00-14.00
2. 14.00-16.00
3. 16.00-18.00
etc.

and another drop down displaying the day (in my case, it is display as the 
column) eg.

1. Monday
2.Tuesday
3. Wednesday
4. Thursday
5. Friday

etc
and then lastly the drop down menu to display my class where I can select the 
class I want to add to the cell on that particular DAY and TIME

For example, I would like to add the class "3PM1010" to the cell when the time 
is "12.00-14.00" and the day is on "Monday", and thus I will select the 
prospective value from each of the drop down menu from the above drop down 
menu.

I hope I have made myself clear enough and really hope to receive some help 
real soon. If there should be any doubts, feel free to drop me an email.

All help are greatly appreciated.

Warmest regards, 
Irin.

[PHP] Re: Instant timeout

2003-11-05 Thread Bogdan Stancescu

Do you have this problem (your PHP page times out) or do is this the 
desired result? For the latter, you've been answered, for the former it 
might be a core error in your code which PHP can't handle -- in this 
case the results are unpredictable, I typically get a "document contains 
no data" error, but I guess you could also get a time out, depending on 
the web server and its version. If this is the case, make a copy of the 
script and start chopping out pieces from it until you don't get the 
error anymore. The last chunk you deleted contains the problem. :)

Neither of those things did it.  Does anyone know what I need to do to get

[PHP] Sessions within new windows

Hi,

 

Not sure if this is a PHP or Browser issue but here is my problem:

 

I have a site that has a members section. In the news area, when a user
clicks the link for an article, it pops open a new window a requests the
article via a PHP script.

 

What's happening is that when the new window pops up, the script isn't
getting the session info properly. I changed it so that the page opens
up in the main window instead of a new one and it works fine.

 

I presume this is because the browser is not sending the session ID to
the script when opening the new window. Does anyone know of a way for me
to fix this without embedding the session ID in the URL?

 

I thought the only criteria that the browser used when deciding if to
send a Session ID or not was if the page is located at the same domain
name.

 

P.S. Its Internet Explorer 6 I am using.

 

Thanks.

[PHP] Re: Changing the php.ini file

2003-11-05 Thread Bogdan Stancescu

Oh, yes, this is a big one, you must reset the whole state power grid. :)

Simply restarting Apache should do it. Check if your problem doesn't 
come from somewhere else - how are you checking if the changes took 
effect? Also, are you sure you're editing the proper php.ini and not 
some older install's or a backup or something? Check by setting some 
self-evident setting in php.ini and restarting Apache. Also, if you're 
sending the data to a database, make sure it's not the database who's 
barfing due to its own config settings or limitations.

RE: [PHP] Re: Changing the php.ini file


I'll go double check to make sure I am hitting the right php.ini, but I
think that is the only one the server reported with a 'whereis'.

I am taking the data and writing it to a file, so the db isn't an issue.

I'll mess with some of other settings and see what happens.

:)

Re: [PHP] Changing the php.ini file

post_max_size is another setting that has effect on uploads. It should 
be higher than upload_max_filesize.

Take a look at the first block of the output from phpinfo() and make 
sure you were editing the correct php.ini file. Actually, make sure the 
phpinfo() still shows the old value for your setting and you're really 
sure you're changes haven't taken effect.

Do you have another browser you can try it in? Sounds like an IE feature 
to me. :)

There was some discussion regarding this on the list last month. Each 
browser is different in whether it'll send the same cookies based upon 
how the new window or browser instance is started...

RE: [PHP] Changing the php.ini file

I re-checked the files - nothing I change in the php.ini files seems to take
effect.  How do I check apache?

I saw the post_max_size thing and changed that to be equal to the
upload_max_filesize.  I'll make it a little higher.

Outside of that, I have a cobalt raq4 I am working on with this, and the
php.ini file is here:

/usr/local/bin/php.ini

Any other place an ini file might be?  I've certainly learned not to depend
on 'whereis' to list everything in the past.

:)

I thought the only criteria that the browser used when deciding if to
send a Session ID or not was if the page is located at the same domain
name.
 

P.S. Its Internet Explorer 6 I am using.

 

Thanks.

Where the php.ini is located is not the issue here. The issue is where php is 
expecting it to be. Search the archives (try using "php.ini mac") for tips on 
how to determine this.

That's all possibly irrelevant.  Have you looked at your phpinfo() output to
see where PHP is *expecting* to find the php.ini file?  And is there a
php.ini file there?

[PHP] replace special chars

2003-11-05 Thread Victor Spång Arthursson

Are there any good function to replace special characters, for example 
double qoutes, with something that are more html-safe?

For example:



The above is generated with PHP and fetched from a database 
(postgresql). I'ld like to have the double qoutes replaced with 
"something else" ;) There could be other strange characters as well 
that needs to be replaced, so some sort of universal function would be 
really nice to get tips on… ;)

If only the PHP gods would bless us with a function such as 
htmlspecialchars() or maybe even htmlentities()... what a great world it 
would be... ;)

Take a look at the manual pages and they convert different character 
sets and handle quotes differently based upon the second parameter.

Yes, assuming I understand you correctly.

There are many ways to address this challenge, but one method is to use a
database for your session store. This database can be on one of your three
servers or somewhere else.

A similar approach is to use an NFS mount to create a virtual filesystem
for storing session data. Yet another approach is the msession PHP
extension.

Hope that helps.

Apache ships free with 'ab', a benchmarking tool:


It doesn't do a whole lot, but it will happily hammer away at a given URL

[PHP] Java JSP and PHP script relation..??

2003-11-05 Thread Ryan A

Hi,
Coming from a java JSP background I have a small question,

in Java when you make a JSP, a servlet is created during execution and if
you poke around the webserver
you can actually find this servlet and read exactly what java reads before
executing...is the same thing possible
with php?

In theory PHP must be doing pretty much the same thing right? it must be
having its own copy of the script
which strips out all the commens etc, any idea where i can find this file as
i need to know exactly what php is
seeing and "rendering"

Thanks,

Hi Dimitri.  Check the permissions on the directories you're working
with.  The user which php runs as (usually apache or nobody) needs to be
able to write to the directories to which you are trying to upload the
files (both the temp directory and the final location).

Pablo

PHP is interpreted at runtime, I don't think it stores any such

might be wrong, but I've got a pretty strong gut feeling that's the way 
it goes.

Re: [PHP] url_encode question

You want to use urlencode, but you are using url_encode, which must be 
user defined function. Urlencode output would be:

http%3A%2F%2F192.168.10.5%2Frecords%2FSalle_16B%2F2003-05-06%2FSalle_16B_2003-05-06.010

urlencode is supposed to be used for encoding values and not the whole url.

So why do you not want to use this method? Does it not do what you need?

$row here is being set to a result set. You are querying MySQL (with an
empty query, something I've never tried), and until MySQL fails, this will
run forever.

You probably want to run your query once and then loop through the result
set. Mind your variable names as well, because your use of $row above adds
to the confusion.

$result = mysql_query($sql);
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

Use things like that. You can also make sure $result is not false prior to
using it, because that is indicative of a failed query.

Hope that helps.

That's strange, as I've been writing a CMS over the past year which

Perhaps it's an issue of how you're invoking the new windows?

Are you using a normal link with target="_blank" or are you using

I've got to remember back to what the original thread was about... :)

The suggestion, iirc, was to pass an MD5() hash of the username and password
in a cookie to identify the user. The problem with this is that cookies are
sent plain text and can be intercepted. So, anyone intercepting the cookie
and finding out the MD5() hash needs only to create a cookie on their own
machine with this same hash to now "become" the other user. They don't need
to know the actual username or password and you're script wouldn't know the
difference.

Now, there are some scripts that do this (forums, for example) as a sort of
"remember me" feature, but they do it at a trade off for security. Using a
method like this is saying that if one user impersonates another, it's not
really going to mess up anything on the site, there's not much harm they can
do, etc. An impersonated user on a forum may cause a little havoc, but it'd
be real TROUBLE if done on a banking site.

One way to alleviate some of the security issues is to have the hash
unrelated to the username and password and have it change often. That way,
even if another user gets it, it's only good for so long.

Hope that helps. Contact me offline anytime for more explanation if you
want. :)

I have a free chapter that explains cookies at the protocol level here:

http://shiflett.org/books/http-developers-handbook/chapters/11

The idea of cookies is a very good one, and Netscape deserves credit for
the innovation. However, some implementations have been known to have
problems. Most notably, Internet Explorer versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0
all have vulnerabilities that, if not patched, allow anyone to read
cookies from any domain. This means that Web developers, such as
ourselves, must consider all information in a cookie to be public for the
purposes of security assessment. The worst case scenario must be taken
into consideration, and when you set a cookie, the worst case is that the
contents are compromised.

So, getting back to your approach, you store authentication credentials in
a cookie, although you mentioned several steps that add obscurity. Even if
the data in the cookie cannot possibly reveal the user's authentication
credentials, if your session mechanism considers the cookie itself to be
an authentication credential, you have already lost. Anyone who can
compromise this cookie can impersonate a user on your Web application. A
security vulnerability is born.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I have created a site that allows users to schedule staff, make appointments

need to make sure it is 110% secure against hacks etc. Now I know this isn't

Turn off register globals.  Validate all form posts for bogus data.  Check
that the cookie hasn't been changed with bad characters malliciously.
Things like that.  Try and break into the site w/o logging in.  We paid for
a security audit from a company called @stake (www.atstake.com).  If you can
afford it, I'd contract someone to audit you.

That's a very good thing to realize. Security is a measurement, sort of
like temperature, so saying something is 100% secure is like saying
something is 100% hot. It can always be hotter. :-)

> I would appreciate any advice on how I can get it as secure as possible,
> I have no experience on this aspect of web development.

Peer code reviews are good and cheap. It all comes down to how much you're
willing to spend on security. Professional code reviews are also good, but
they can be extremely expensive. Another good idea is to educate yourself,
since you probably know your own code the best. There is a lot of great
information that has been posted on this list. Just search for security in
the archives.

There is also a book being written on the topic I hear. :-) But, none
exist yet. Oh, the OWASP guide has a little bit of information on PHP.
I've read it, and it's pretty good advice (I disgree about some of their
coding standards, but that's not too important).

Hope that helps.

Jason - here is what I see straight off the bat..

return (ereg_replace(,/+, '/', $tmp_file ==$filename);

should be 

return (ereg_replace(,/+, '/', $tmp_file ==$filename));

notice the second parenthesis at the end... i.e. return(ereg_replace())

that could possibly cause it to err out later...

I currently design, develop, and maintain a suite of Web applications and
utilities that receive ten million hits a day, and my experience has shown
that the number one thing you can do to make the biggest difference is to
limit the number of times you need to hit the database.

PHP itself, even without an accelerator, is very fast. A single Web server
can handle most people's needs, so long as the application is designed
well otherwise.

As an example of limiting database access, consider whether your
application queries the database many times to receive the exact same
result set. Is there a way to cache that locally? Or, perhaps you are
generating statistics for some reason, where you need to record data for
every visitor. What if, instead, you stored such statistical data once for
every 100 visits? Assuming the rand() function is very good, this should
allow you to multiply your statistics by 100 and have fairly accurate
statistics (assuming large data sets, like saying you have 1.4 million
users from the US). Your accuracy diminishes by a factor of 100, so you
just have to determine what amount of accuracy you need.

There are a lot of things you can do, but I have found that performance
tuning your PHP logic can be very helpful, but it's nothing compared to
limiting your database access.

Hope that helps.

I second Chris on this. No matter how fast your servers are, there is an 
inherent latency in hitting the database, particularly if you do so 
continuously and unnecessarily. Caching is usually a good solution to 
this problem--there are commercial products that will help you (like the 
Zend Performance Suite), but if you design with caching in mind from the 
outset, you should be able to obtain excellent results even without them.

One of the things I have suggested to the customer is offloading some of the
work to a different server. For example, he wants to email a weekly message
to all the users with information on records that match their search
criteria. I suggested setting up a second server that handles this and other
admin function while the main server takes care of the users.

Does this sound like a good idea?

RE: [PHP] Sessions within new windows

Hmm, that's strange.

I use Javascript functions to control the few pop-up windows in the CMS,
but I just went in and changed some to standard href tags with the
_blank for the target attribute, as you have, and it still works with no
problem.

If, as Chris wrote, this is indeed a feature/bug of IE, then it must be
configurable somewhere, though I'm lost as to where that might be.

I just tested it out on a number of systems around here, both on a
Windoze 2000 box and on a RedHat box using a Terminal Services

That's strange, as I've been writing a CMS over the past year which
requires the user to have IE 5.5 or newer, and I have no problems with
pop-ups accessing session values under IE 6.0.

Perhaps it's an issue of how you're invoking the new windows?

Are you using a normal link with target="_blank" or are you using
Javascript to launch the new window?

This is a feature/bug of IE 6. It might be something you can configure
somewhere, but I avoid IE like the plague, so I'm not sure about that.

Every other browser, to my knowledge, will work properly.

Hope that helps.

Subject: RE: [PHP] Sessions within new windows

Hmm, that's strange.

I use Javascript functions to control the few pop-up windows in the CMS,
but I just went in and changed some to standard href tags with the
_blank for the target attribute, as you have, and it still works with no
problem.

If, as Chris wrote, this is indeed a feature/bug of IE, then it must be
configurable somewhere, though I'm lost as to where that might be.

I just tested it out on a number of systems around here, both on a
Windoze 2000 box and on a RedHat box using a Terminal Services
connection, and it worked fine for me.

Does anyone have any ideas how this could be controlled via IE's
settings?

I have no first-hand experience with this, since I don't use Windows (and
I use Safari when I use Macs). But, there was a discussion on the list a
week or two ago about this same thing, and someone did some testing to
find that IE did not send session cookies upon a new instance. I was under
the impression that this was somehow configurable, but that the default
behavior in IE 6 was to consider each separate instance to be using a
different pool for session cookies.

I would also be interested in this, as well as some sort of confirmation
of this behavior. It could be that the person who described this behavior
was wrong. :-)

[PHP] getting array slice of function output

2003-11-05 Thread David T-G

Hi, all --

I have a line which strips the suffix (gif, GIF, TIFF, jpg, JPEG, etcetc
or I would just use basename() :-) from a string but it seems needlessly
drawn out:

  $file = preg_split('/\./',$dirfiles[0]) ; $file = $file[0] ;

I would like to just assign the 0th element of the preg_split() output to
my variable.  I've also had to use a temp array for stat() output in
other places.

Is there a way to address

  preg_split('/\./',$string[0])[0]

or

  stat("$somefile")[mode]

directly instead?


TIA & HAND

I think Chris is correct in thinking that the person who started the
previous thread on this subject described the behavior incorrectly.
I've been developing web applications with PHP/PostgreSQL for a few
years now, and I've never been able to duplicate the behaviors described
in the original thread.

>From my experience over the past few years, here's how IE works with
sessions and new windows.

If you open a web application in Internet Explorer and a session is
activated, opening a new window either via a JavaScript link, an href
with the target attribute set to _blank or by hitting ctrl-n will cause
the new window to inherit the session of the opener.

However, if you have a window open in which a session is activated and
you open a new IE window via a desktop shortcut (basically create a
separate instance of the browser) this window will NOT inherit the
session of the already active window.

I tried to replicate the behaviors described in the previous thread with
IE 5.5 and 6.0 running on Win2K boxes and on Linux boxes connected via
TSS, and was unsuccessful.

Anyone else have any ideas as to why this would be happening? It seems a
very strange behavior to me.

Pablo

[PHP] Input Validation of $_SESSION values

Hi all.  A quick question as an extension to the threads about input
validation over the past weeks.

It's obviously best practice to rigorously check and validate all input
coming via $_GET or $_POST, but what about $_SESSION values?

Without proper checking of $_GET and $_POST, it is very easy for someone
to exploit an application.  But what are the potentials of this
happening with session values?

As an example, in my CMS when the user logs in a number of session
variables are registered, including a user id, group id and clearance
level, all of which are used extensively in queries.

Throughout the CMS I use a custom function to validate any ids coming
from $_GET or $_POST, but are those which come from $_SESSION equally
dangerous?  It would seem to me that they wouldn't be quite as
dangerous, but I can't really say for sure.

For example, if someone is attempting to retrieve a specific content
block within the CMS for editing, the following query is executed:


$query  = 'select c.* from cms_content c, cms_access x ';
$query .= 'where x.status = 1 and x.c_id = c.c_id and ';
$query .= 'x.p_id = '.$p_id.' and c.p_id = '.$p_id.' ';
$query .= 'and x.u_id = '.$_SESSION['u_id'].' and ';
$query .= 'x.g_id = '.$_SESSION['g_id'].' ';
$query .= $_SESSION['clearance'] < 2 ? 'and (c.release < now() and
(c.expires is null or c.expires > now()) and ((c.begin_suspend is null
and c.end_suspend is null) or (now() not between c.begin_suspend and
c.end_suspend))) ' : '';


What are the implications of not validating the $_SESSION['u_id'],
$_SESSION['g_id'] and $_SESSION['clearance'] values?

In this query, for example, the last ternary statement checks if the
clearance value for the current session is less than 2, and if so the
content can only be accessed if the conditions run against the timestamp
fields for that specific record are valid.

However, if someone were somehow able to hijack the value of
$_SESSION['clearance'] and set it to 3 or 4, then this check would be
ignored.

How big of an issue is this?  I'd be very interested in some opinions
from those with more experience on the security side of things.

Cheers,
Pablo

[PHP] anyway to return more than one value?

Hi list.

Ok I know it's not possible to "return" more than one value. But I'm
going to explain what I'd like to do so maybe there's an easy way to do
it.

I've got some functions that query a database and turn the result into
an array and return that array. What I'd like to do is not only return
the array of results but ALSO return a row count and field count of that
result.

Here is some pseudo code:

function get_results()
{
// query database
$result = query($sql);

// turn result set into a useable array
$theResultArray = get_results($result);

$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$fields = mysql_num_fields($result);

return $theResultArray;
return $rows;
return $fields;
}

Ok I know that won't work but that's just basically what I want to do.

The only way around this I've come up with is to stick all the values
into ANOTHER array and return then and then dissect that array in the
calling function, but that just seems messy.

All of a sudden the word "reference" came to mind. Is that what I want
to use?


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Chris.

You can do the following:

function get_results( &$rows, &$fields )
{
// query database
$result = query($sql);

// turn result set into a useable array
$theResultArray = get_results($result);

$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$fields = mysql_num_fields($result);

return $theResultArray;
}

RE: [PHP] fwrite, fopen, or fread limit?

2003-11-05 Thread Wouter van Vliet

I highly doubt that was all. Now uploads bigger than 7megs are allowed, you
should also make sure your script is able to deal with it files LARGER than
that. Hmm, maybe this didn't seem to make much sense. 

What I'm talking about is this:

 memory_limit = 8M  ; Maximum amount of memory a script may
consume (8MB) 

When using fwrite you probably load the entire file into memory and have a
high chance on exceeding the size of 8MB. Or if you're smart you do it line
by line and there's less problem with it.

Also I'd like to point you to the "move_uploaded_file" function. Just in
case you didn't know about it.

[PHP] PHP objects problem

2003-11-05 Thread Michal O¹kera

Hi,
I've discovered strange behavior of PHP. The following script has no sense
and value,
it is simplified due to clearness. The output of the script should be (in my
opinion):

class A2
class A1

But it isn't (using PHP 4.3.4). The problem arise, when the Callback
function of a1
object calls GetOtherCnt. There, only a1 object is valid but not a2 although
it should be.
So, the output is:


class A1

It works, if the a1->Init() call is performed after creating the a2 object.
And in my
real script no replacing of this call helps. It is not clear to me why it
happens so.
What do You think about it? Have You any explanation for that?

Thanks for answers,
Mike

Here is the script:

control_class = $control_class;
}

function Callback()
{
return $this->control_class->GetOtherCnt($this->cnt);
}
}

class A1 extends A
{
var $cnt = "class A1";
}

class A2 extends A
{
var $cnt = "class A2";
}

class Control
{
var $a1 = FALSE;
var $a2 = FALSE;

function Init()
{
$this->a1 = new A1();
$this->a1->Init($this);

$this->a2 = new A2();
$this->a2->Init($this);
}

function PrintIt()
{
echo $this->a1->Callback() . "";
echo $this->a2->Callback() . "";
}

function GetOtherCnt($cnt)
{
if($cnt == $this->a1->cnt)
return $this->a2->cnt;
if($cnt == $this->a2->cnt)
return $this->a1->cnt;
return "";
}
}

$test = new Control();
$test->Init();

$test->PrintIt();

Re: [PHP] anyway to return more than one value?

One possible solution could be to write a simple class that will hold 
all data you need at one single place:

class MyData {
  var $_resultArray;
  var $_rows;
  var $_fields;
  function MyData($resultArray, $rows, $fields) {
$this->data = $data;
$this->rowcounr = $rowcount;
$this->fildcount = $fildcount;
  }
  function getResultArray() {
return $this->_resultArray;
  }
  function getRows() {
return $this->_rows;
  }
  function getFilds () {
return $this->_fields;
  }
}
To put some data in that object write:

$data = new MyData($theResultArray, $rows, $fields);

To get back your stuff in your code use something like:

$theResultArray = MyData->getResultArray();
$rows =  MyData->getRows();
$fields = MyData->getFields();
This is only an example code, you should adjust it according your needs
