Nah, but you could write a function to add quotes to attributes of any

Tidy [ http://tidy.sf.net ] can do this

John,
  On a recent project I had a similar problem, and then I found pwgen [ 
http://sf.net/projects/pwgen/ ] and it worked great. It creates 
passwords that are easy for humans to remember, but difficult for 
machines to guess. It can even create "machine" passwords.

  Here's sample output :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] burhan $ pwgen -n -c -C 8 5
shie9ohG hu8Aengu Thie2ahx Ajien9ai eM2youhu
  With its various options, you can modify the lenth and number of 
passwords generated.  The source code is also available, but I didn't 
have the time to convert it to PHP.

Hopfully this helps,
Burhan

In Gentoo, emerge php just installs the client build, emerge mod_php

Therefore, what you need to do is emerge -av mod_php
Also, emerge apache installs Apache2, eventhough you may see apache and

Then edit /etc/conf.d/apache2 and add -D PHP4 to the APACHE2_OPTS variable.

Don't the spelling extensions have some sort of dictionary that they use?
You can probably use whatever they use.

If you do write this, please don't call it a password generator, else
people might use these things for passwords. :-)

That's good to hear. :-)

Most of the people that have heard me give this talk (which is a few
hundred now) have realized several vulnerabilities in their current
applications, bad development habits, etc. I actually get tired of giving
the same (or very similar) talks, but I'll keep giving this one as long as
it keeps surprising a lot of the audience. The fewer excuses we give
people to equate PHP with poor security, the better off we'll all be.

Nope, it's correct as written. Perhaps it just needs to be rephrased, or
maybe I need to elaborate about what "safe" means in this context.

The piece of the HTTP specification I'm referring to is within section
9.1.1 of RFC 2616, entitled "Safe Methods," and it has the following to
say:

   "In particular, the convention has been established that the GET and
   HEAD methods SHOULD NOT have the significance of taking an action
   other than retrieval. These methods ought to be considered "safe".
   This allows user agents to represent other methods, such as POST, PUT
   and DELETE, in a special way, so that the user is made aware of the
   fact that a possibly unsafe action is being requested."

Thus, as developers, we should never perform an action when the request
method is GET. This means that forms intended to perform actions such as
buying stocks should specify the POST method, and we should also not rely
on register_globals or $_REQUEST, because both of these hide whether the
data we are using was sent in a GET request or a POST request. Specify
POST, and use $_POST.

Hope that clarifies what I mean a bit. Of course, I elaborate more in the
actual talk; this was just the workbook for people to reference and take
home to help remember the points. I just decided to give it away, since I
had put so much work into it. :-)

But, I'm always looking for improvements. I'll try to add a bit of
clarification in there somehow.

Thanks for the feedback.

Re: [PHP] PHP Security Workbook

I have also read that pdf document and I have found another interesting
advice.

The author says that a good way of hiding the username/password is to put a
file that exports 2 environment variables in a directory that can be read
only by the root, then include a call to that file in httpd.conf in order to
let the web server to have access to those variables.

Well, I don't really understand why this is so secure.

I understand that the web server is run by root, which sees that file and
exports the variables, then another user without many priviledges runs the
child process of the web server, but if there are more than one user that
run PHP files or files made in other languages on that server, they will
also be able to see those environment variables.

Did I understand correctly?

I can't take credit for thinking of this approach. This comes from David
Sklar and Adam Trachtenberg, authors of PHP Cookbook (and others).

Yes, this is another thing that I mention in the talk but failed to
include in the workbook. When this approach is being applied to a shared
hosting environment, you want to put the Include directive within a
VirtualHost block of httpd.conf, so that it only applies to a single
virtual host.

Also, each unprivileged child process that handles requests for this
virtual host has this sensitive information in memory. So, while the data
is safer, it is not completely safe (nothing is). If a user can exploit a
vulnerability in your application that lets them execute arbitrary code,
they can access this data. Of course, they can do a lot of bad things in
this case. :-)

Hope that clarifies. Thanks for the feedback.

[PHP] Need help with some logic and how to do it in PHP

I have the following problem.

I have 7 string values, if any number of them are the same, I need to ouput that 
value, if they are all different, I need to output a blank string "". How would I do 
this in php outside of writing a huge if/then statement? This is a variation of my

values in an array, ie  $strings = array($string1, $string2, $string3, $string4, 
$string5, $string6, $string7);

upload_max_filesize setting alone will not do because there are several

Have you read the chapter "manual > Handling file uploads" thoroughly? In

Hi,

This is not very simple.
The URI which in your example is /code.html can be anything, including
something like m.html.
In that case which would be the first 2 letters?
Or, the URI can be something like m-like.html. In this case the first 2
letters will be "m-" or "ml"?

A good regular expression should work in all situations so it is important
to know what is the desired result, and not to asume that there won't be any
links like "/.html" or something worse.

Excellent point. This is for creating one-time invitation codes for 
users to participate in surveys and not for actual passwords.

Thanks to a link posted by someone else, I was able to find a list of 
nearly 113,000 words between 4 and 12 characters long that can be used. 
Even though that's a lot of words, as Chris points out above, it would 
be trivial to write a script to try every combination of the words...

For those interested, here's the simple function to grab a number of 
words from a text file containing each word on it's own line:

define('WORDCODE_NUMWORDS',2);
define('WORDCODE_SEPERATOR','-');
function _getWordCode()
{
$retval = '';
$chosenwords = array();
$file = 'words.txt';
$fp = fopen($file,'r');
$fsize = filesize($file);
for($x=0;$x
return implode(WORDCODE_SEPERATOR,$chosenwords);
}
Anyone thinking of suggesting file() and array_rand() should try it 
themselves before doing so. ;)

RE: [PHP] newbie again, submit buttons don't work

2004-08-15 Thread Ed Lazor

Assuming you're using post, add

$cmd = $_POST["cmd"];

Before you use $cmd and see if that makes a difference.  If it does,
register globals is likely disabled which is good.

which tells you if the locale where the server is was in DST or not on that

Matt Wright's FormMail.pl script is a very well known script, that's

This list consists not only of PHP programmers, but there are also

Moreover, the name "FormMail" is quite descriptive, and there are other
FormMail scripts written in several languages that acomplish the same
task, so not knowing Matt's script does not mean that you don't know
what a FormMail script is.. (obviously not everyone knows what a
FormMail script does, but obviously not everyone in the list should know
about certain topics)

I don't expect that...
I have many times googled about things that someone asked on a list and

I could help this person... I don't expect others to do it, but it
doesn't mean that someone can't do it either..

but I also expect a more polite reply than "you have obviously not read

I know this list is a bit differente from others, there are many newbies

mix of *NIX, Windows and others users, and sometimes that sort of things

nope, thos are packages for mime decoding (which I have used in other
projects), access for pop or imap, or the most simple Mail package which
serves for e-mail sending, just like phpMailer would do, or even the
mail() function for more simple tasks... but that's not what I want...

I know how to send e-mail, with mail(), with phpMailer or with
PEAR::Mail, I want a good and tested FormMail script.. if I don't find

[PHP] Re: Upload problems

2004-08-15 Thread Kim Steinhaug

Just a quick question,

Did you alter the upload_max_filesize to 500MB
and the post_max_size to say 510MB and you succesfully
upload 500MB files from one machine to the server?

I never testes with filesizes that large, but It would be nice to
hear if it accually works without tweaking to much.

I would also think that the general 30sec timout would need to
be altered as moving a 500MB file from /var/ to the users homedirectory
and then do some filechecking on it and such would easilly need
some extra seconds. Not to think of the overhead if many people
upload large files at a time.

Ok, its a vague post this, just looking for some input here, :D

Its like the needle and the haystack, dont know what im exatcly looking
for here, but you never know. I work with large files myself on some
systems, and its always nice to get feedback whatever it is from other
people working with the same stuff.

500 mb upload? Make sure you have enough tmp space available for that.
When you get that big you might want to consider a different form of
uploading... ala sftp/ftp.

It comes down to these settings:

php's
  post_max_size
  upload_max_filesize

and the webserver's max size of data. the link of raditha's, posted
earlier in this thread, explains all these setting rather well.

I'm not sure if the actual move is calculated in the script
execution time, but it would be wise to take that into
consideration when coding. Of course if /var and /usr are on the
same mount (evilness), the time to move that file is very fast.

The only issue you really have with many people uploading large
files is disk space, neither php or apache will not load the whole
file into memory, unless you have the php setting
always_populate_raw_post_data (always == in certain conditions).

There is also the overhead of disk access speed. If a move requires
a copy then delete, having many people uploading files
will slow the whole system down, in many cases.  So if this is the
case, it might be best to configure php to use the tmp upload dir
to use the same mount point as where you're moving the file to.

I was not trying to be rude, just never heard of this FormMail by Matt Wright and have 
*no* idea how it works so I posted link to pear - in case you were new to PHP. 
Your post just sounded like you were hardcore perl writer trying out PHP.

 - After having googled "FormMail Matt Wright" and checked it out.. ..don't know of 
any compatible PHP scripts, sorry.

[PHP] How to get mime type from file name

2004-08-15 Thread C.F. Scheidecker Antunes

Hello,
Is there any function where I can pass a file name like "file.png" and 
get return the string of its type 'image/png' ?

Basically it is a funcion that takes a file name and returns a string of 
its mime type.

I have used mime_mail to send attachments but the I need when I am 
attaching the file to know its mime type, for instance a zip file or a 
jpg or a txt etc.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi all,
I have seen that there are many templating systems for PHP. Which is 
the
most used and the best you have found?
Can you recommend me a free and good templating system?
Ultimately it depends on who is going to be building those templates.  
Is it a HTML programmer, or a Dreamweaver monkey, or is it you (a PHP 
programmer)?

It's a very old argument that has been done to death on this list 100's 
of times, but PHP *is a templating language* itself.




Name
Email








Personally, I prefer to just use PHP wherever possible.  The reality is 
that Smarty et al all compile or parse these templates into PHP at some 
point, so my question is, why not just use PHP?  You'll eventually run 
into limitations with any other template language ("you can't do that 
with smarty").

However, templating languages are PERFECT in an environment where the 
programmer (you) doesn't want to give the template designer (someone 
else) the full power of PHP.

Others have (and probably will again) argue that the templating 
languages like Smarty are easier for the designer to learn, but I 
completely disagree.  I can't see any benefits -- check out the 
following examples:

{$name|capitalize}
{$smarty.now|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d"}

{section name=mysec loop=$users}
{strip}
   
  {$users[mysec].name}
  {$users[mysec].phone}
   
{/strip}
{/section}

These all look just as simple and easy in PHP:




   ">
  
  
   


Yes, I'd have to have a library of various functions like capitalize() 
and cycle(), but this is all rudimentary stuff that could be achieved 
very quickly -- in fact, I've already got most of them written.

Now, to pre-empt a flame by many of Smarty's fans, Smarty does offer 
many other advantages (caching, restricted power, encourages separation 
of code and presentation, etc).

As I said right back at the start, it depends on who the target author 
of the templates will be, and what skills they have.  I've spent a lot 
of time in Smarty, Textpattern's XHTML based template language and many 
more, and in most cases *I* would prefer straight PHP, but you need to 
spend a little time with them and decide for yourself, based on your 
own needs.

[PHP] Re: How to get mime type from file name

First of, do not mail me directly, post to the news group!

2nd: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mime-content-type.php
[snip]
mime_content_type
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
[/snip]
Which mean: You need *at least* PHP4.3.0 for this extension.

3rd:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mime-magic.php
[snip]
Installation

You must compile PHP with the configure switch --with-mime-magic to get support for 
mime-type functions. The extension needs a copy of the simplified magic file that is 
distributed with the Apache httpd.

Note: The configure option has been changed from --enable-mime-magic to 
--with-mime-magic since PHP 4.3.2 
[/snip]
Which mean: You need to compile PHP with this switch.

Hannes,

Thanks but I have checked the manual as well, my PHP is version 4.3.6 however the 
function mime_content_type() is not there.
Besides that, systems without php 4.3 or higher do not support it.

Therefore, maybe I should write a function to read it from /etc/mime.types.

Unless there is something easier.

Thanks.

  Hello,

Is there any function where I can pass a file name like "file.png" and 
get return the string of its type 'image/png' ?

Basically it is a funcion that takes a file name and returns a string of 
its mime type.

I have used mime_mail to send attachments but the I need when I am 
attaching the file to know its mime type, for instance a zip file or a 
jpg or a txt etc.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hannes,
when someone mails you direct to request additional help the only 
acceptable response IMHO is the cold shoulder.
