That's not true, since he's using user data in the SQL statement. The query method has nothing to do with whether data should be escaped. Of course, addslashes() is sort of a last result with regard to escaping data for use in a query. The more preferable options are those native to the database you're using, if they exist. MySQL users can use mysql_escape_string(), for example.

[PHP] safe_mode, sym-links and stat
Hi I'm running PHP in safe mode, and have symlinked executables to the execution_dir, that works great. With one exception, it is not possible to check the existence of the files, before executing them. It seems to me that stat / lstat resolves the ownership of the orig executables and safe_mode decides that I cannot have access, which is true, but I only want to know if the files that I'm about to execute, ie. the symlinks, exists. Is this a bug, or have I misunderstood something. Any suggestions on how I can solve this. Example: is_file: '; var_dump(is_file($id)); echo 'is_link: '; var_dump(is_link($id)); echo 'is_executable: '; var_dump(is_executable($id)); echo 'is_readable: '; var_dump(is_readable($id)); echo ''; passthru($id.' -version'); ?> Result: Warning: stat() [function.stat]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.

[PHP] Re: htmlentities and foreign characters from MS Word
That did it! It seems that my version of MySQL doesn't support Unicode
encoding, only the various ISO encodings. So, I guess this translation is
necessary before storing all text in the DB so foreign characters aren't
broken when I retrieve them from the DB.
Thanks!

[PHP] Dinamic generate PDF : which way ? (classes, docbook)
Hi, I plan to dynamic generate some of the documents I need on a regular basis. Sometimes they only differ by the name of the company so my first attempt would be to generate "templates" in word and ask/replace for the values needed. I am evaluating the http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/, www.fpdf.org and php classes that generate pdf and as another option use docbook to convert. I am not sure which way is better. >From my point of view: a) Both classes seem to be fine but in order to generate (static) tables and other elements I will need a lot of programming calls/variables. So I'd have a manual and perhaps tedious/error procedure to convert the document into the "programable-version" of it. b) I do not have experience with DocBook (even tough I can code html and latex) but I could use an editor to generate the document with the tables, place images etc. Identify the template variables and call docbook to generate the pdf. I'd still have to manually convert the file but would not need a lot of calls to generate a table or even use a php programmer. I am assuming the the tags needed are more easly understanded than $pdf->addCell($data,width..)

You want to put information on a page. That's nice. You want to refresh every 5 minutes? that's also fine. You want it to refresh but to not refresh at the same time... somehow, magically, your browser should know that it only needs to add information... To avoid that issue, you could best store the info in some temporary file (or database) and then each time loop trough it, and issue it to the user. Make sure to include a 5-min.-delay redirect to the same page (refresh).

There is a fairly new project called pdml ( http://pdml.sourceforge.net/index.php ) that extends fpdf that converts html (sort of) into pdf. I have used it some. It's new and a little buggy, but it is usable. You could easily use Smarty, XiTemplate, or some other template engine to manage the markup templates to use with pdml. There are also several scripts and classes on the fpdf.org site that cover all sorts of common tasks ( http://fpdf.org/en/script/index.php ). IMHO DocBook may be a little over-kill and possibly overly burdensome for this task since it requires your markup be written in DocBook XML format. I suppose it could be worth while if you plan to create your documents in several different formats on the fly.

I think it's only a problem if you're storing truly stupendous amounts of text, and then it's just a storage problem - drives are cheap. If anything, storing the changes only would probably be a bigger processor load, since viewing any one page would mean having to reconstruct the content from all previous versions. This way, the overhead of a diff is only incurred when you want to view changes to a file between two given versions. I think the rationale behind CVS storing just diffs is that it has branches and merges, while wiki text generally does not. Also (conjecture) it may be a historical legacy of RCS, from a time when storage was not quite so cheap. - michal migurski- contact info and pgp key: sf/cahttp://mike.teczno.com/contact.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

But have you tested this as user apache from the command line?
su - apache
/usr/bin/ssh -v -i /var/wwwhtml/sshtest/id_rsa [EMAIL PROTECTED] uptime
Chances are you will also need to add -o "BatchMode yes" to that ssh

I don't know much about sockets, so I couldn't say. If the console will connect via ssh, isn't that a stateful TCP connection? Can you keep that connection open with a "keep-alive" or "heartbeat"?

Re: [PHP] Web Fetch & Process
Hi
How can I parse HTML page which I fetched by PHP so some part of text would
be replaced by other text.
Also, I managed to delete all HTML code from page (with this code
$data[0] = preg_replace("/([<])+([^>])+([.])*([>])+/i","", $data[0]);
but also would like to delete all chars except numbers from page, can this
be done?
Regards.
Zoran
Your first question:
To replace certain elements take a look at preg_replace()
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php
Example:
$foo = 'stuff silly stuff more stuff';
echo preg_replace('/\(.*)\<\/b\>/', "$1 lookie now", $foo);
Your second question:
You could just use strip_tags()
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php
Your last question:
To delete everything but numbers you could $content =
preg_replace('/[^\d]/','', $content);
Hope that helps
Jim Grill
Hi
This works great. One more question about preg_replace. Is it possible that for every
match other text is replaced?
By this I mean when some text between has been found that text is replaced
with some Text, on second match, text between is replaced by some other
different text etc.
Btw, where I can find patterns that are valid?
(something like (\w+), (\d+)+i etc.
Thanks.
Regards.

[PHP] More on the credit card fraud
The fraudulent orders that I receive on my site come with email addresses of eight random alphanumerics @yahoo.com.

Many thanks, - Brian PS - If anyone wants an update: the orders stopped for a while but started up this weekend with a vengeance. Now they are coming with valid address verification AND card validation numbers! Pretty darn good, whoever's doing it.

[PHP] converting seconds since unix epoc to date array

I've been through all the date-related functions in the manual I can think of, but I'm stumpped on this one...
Re: [PHP] converting seconds since unix epoc to date array
Hi,
Try
$date="-MM_DD";
$da=explode("-",$date);
Now
$Y=$da['0'];
$M=$da['1'];
$D=$da['2'];
then use mktime();
Hope you will get the results.

Is this a MySQL timestamp? If so, you can use TO_UNIXTIME() in your
query to return a Unix timestamp instead of a MySQL one. You can use
DATE_ADD() to add days to the timestamp. You can also use DATE_FORMAT()
to format the timestamp before it's returned also.
If you don't want to do that, what's wrong with strtotime('-MM-DD')
to get the unix timestamp?

Re: [PHP] converting seconds since unix epoc to date array
Jason, This seems to work fine for me: ... as does the more condensed version: If strtotime() is returning -1, that means that it's having trouble converting your -MM-DD date to a timestamp. The common pitfall is that you've got the month and day mixed up (-DD-MM), or that you're not using 2 digit numbers on the day and month (and 4 digit on the year). If you're having trouble with strtotime(), ech out the date you're trying to convert, to make sure it's what you're expecting. It's also worth pointing out that we've made no considerations for timezones, daylight savings, etc. UNIX timestamps are all GMT, so if the times you're seeing are not as expected (and the dates you're collecting aren't GMT dates, then you'll need to dig a lot deeper -- it's depends how much accuracy you want.

Hi all, Please tell me how can I fetch an html document from a web page, let's say starting from the character 1000, and get the text until the caracter 5000. In fact, I want to use the GET or POST method, and to also send to the server the HTTP header: Range: bytes=1000-5000 Thanks.

[PHP] Convert Smart Quotes to Sraight Quotes - Need Help!
I've been reading for the last three days about character encodings and
such, but, have still been unable to figure out what I think should be a
simple solution.
All I want to do is take curly or "smart" quotes that have been pasted or
entered into a form field and convert those into straight quotes (") before
I store the text in my database.
It appears the data passed from the form to my PHP script is encoded as
Unicode. My version of MySQL does not support Unicode character encoding,
so, I need to convert that into Latin1 (or ISO-8859-1).
When I use iconv() to translate the data that contains curly quotes, the
string gets chopped off at the very first curly quote and the rest of the
string is lost. This is the command I am using:
$var = iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", $var);
When I use utf8_decode(), I at least get the whole string back, but, all the
curly quotes and apostrophes are turned into ? question marks.
So, I presume there must be some way to convert those curly quotes into
straight ASCII quotes while the text is still in Unicode format, before I
run this through either iconv() or utf8_decode(). But, I've searched all
over for two days and can't figure out how to accomplish this.
I'd really appreciate someone's help with this! It's driving me nuts!!
Thanks,
Monty
