Re: [PHP] Fwd: fopen for http://
fopen() most likely is not sending the same kinds of headers that an HTTP
connection would send, which is what you are really checking in httpd.conf
(Which might not be all that secure, come to think of it...)
Anyway, you should dump out the data you test in the restricted page, and
surf to it, and try to use PHP to get it, and see what is different.
You might be able to "forge" the HTTP data using fsockopen/fputs/gets or,
probably easier, http://php.net/curl once you figure out what data/headers
need to get sent for your restricted site to respond.
It's all matter of finding the restricted site's ticklish spot, you see.

[PHP] PHP 5 Question about OO
Hi List,
I'm using the oo orientation of PHP5 for a while now. All Classes I've
got have a require on top them, if I try to reference to other classes.
something like
require (Class2.php);
class Class1{
private function ... {
$refClass2 = new Class2;
}
}
Now my question, is it possible to skip that require/ include part? In
Java you don't need that, as class and file names are identical.
thx

I can surf to http://example.com/admin.inc and who knows what will happen if that PHP code in there gets executed without all the code you expected to be executed before that code? There is one simple habit that can mitigate this issue, and it's one I see very often: make your .inc.php and .class.php files do nothing. If you .inc files contain only function and constant definitions, and your .class files contain only class definitions, then nothing will happen when you run them - a bunch of functions or a class will get defined, but if nothing is run, they will just be forgotten. This route has a major advantage when it comes to deployment - you can just stick all your files in one place, and it will work without risk. Another simple approach is to put all your included files in a directory that contains a .htaccess file to prevent direct access to them. They can still be included from your PHP scripts.

Re: [PHP] [Files suffix] .inc.php files
moving outside the webtree is the best option, where practical. Calling the files whatever.inc.php allows you to disallow access to .inc.php files via the apache config file.

No need for mounting here as I see it.

PHP doesn't have this luxury - people can call files whatever they
like. However, PHP5 does have a nice feature to deal with this. In
your class1 class, create a function called __autoload like this:
function __autoload($class_name) {
require_once $class_name . '.php';
}
In this case when you ask for a new class2 and you've not required it
before, it will automatically call __autoload with $class_name set to
'Class2', which then requires the class file according to the pattern
used in the function, in this case 'Class2.php'. Note that while PHP
is not case sensitive to class names, the file system you're on
probably is, so keep your case consistent throughout.

all true, now imagine that you install a couple of 3rdparty php5 'packages'
and they all define __autoload() - ain't gonna work! which is why there has been
discussion on internals regarding the possibility of use a handler-function
stack
for autoloading (in the same way that you can register a stack of input/output
filter-function)... something to keep an eye on in case things change :-)
you may also consider that placing suitable require statements (I would
use require_once for class files) before a class definition will
probably/possibly (I don't know but it may be important to your project)
be a minor performance boost over letting php call _autoload() whenever it
needs.

hi... trying to build php4 with mysql4.1-12, for use in apache2. i have the following "./compile" that works for php5. however, when i try to use it for php4, i get a msg, stating that it can't find the MySQL Headers... can anybody provide any pointers as far as what the Headers are for mysql, and where they'd be located? if i knew the files, i could do a search to find where they're located. -- ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql_config -- thanks -bruce [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Copy to network share
I've got PHP 4.3 running on a Win2k IIS 5.0 web server. I need to upload a file and then copy it to a samba share (share level security) on a linux box across the network. I can $dirhandle = opendir(server\\share); Readdir($dirhandle); With no problem but I can't changed to the that dir to copy the uploaded files to it. I've tried Chdir(server//share); Chdir(server\\share); But it always returns: Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) Is what I'm trying to do possible and if so, how?

You should put the dirname in quotes
Like $dirhandle=opendir("Server\\Share");

RE: [PHP] FW: write to file, difficulty inputting data
I need to write to file. After getting a customer's order I'm sending a
file to a distribution company. The company wants all the information in
a preset format which they will then parse.
The problem comes when I try to put in multiple orders. In other words
how does one use
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ))
{
}
inside a variable -- or put the results into said variable
The process I've set up is:
1. get data from session variables, $_POST and a database
(this orderID, itemsOrdered and customerAddress, etc...)
2. put it into a variable called $fileContent
3. then write $fileContent to $file
Example below:
$thisOrder= sprintf("%12d",$orderID[0]);
...
$fileContent=
$thisOrder .
$_POST["shippingMethodName"] .
$a .
$b .
$c
; // end of $fileContent
Now, I would like to put my orders into $fileContent. How does one place
the output of
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ))
{
}
into $fileContent?
Thx.

This will WIPE OUT the existing file, and write a *NEW* file, from 0,
starting from scratch.
So you'll never have anything but the LAST item.
You could use "a+" to append to the end of the file...
But you *SHOULD* be using a database to avoid concurrency issues.
You're going to have a MUCH better application if you store your data in
the database, and it's EASIER than messing with a file.
Only use a file if a database is absolutely forbidden by outside
factors.

It's good for a lot of trouble if the webserver hasn't been set up to parse .inc files as PHP. If it hasn't then someone can request that file in a broswer and see the code. PHP will parse the file when called via include() or require(), no matter the extension and how the web server is configured. Now if a user tries to access the file directly, then the webserver comes into playbut one would think that you don't want include files accessed directly anyway. Best ways to do this is to put them outside of document root, give them a unique extension (like .inc or .inc.php) that you can filter out in Apache, and put some 'security measure' in the file itself (like checking to see if a constant is set). -- John C.

Re: [PHP] PHP and USB Devices
Hey thanks for all the replies... the finger print scanner is actually alot more convient than anything else for $38 it's became pretty addictive... now i don't have to type all those long server passwords anymore.. LOL... i am way too lazy!!! I actually bought this thing to integrate a quick time clock into our extranet system... all i need the thing to do is pass some scrambled code based on the user's finger print into a text field and I could then tie it to a user account on setup... I will be calling DigitalPersona, the company who actually makes this thing... but their website comes right out and says they don't support the microsoft one.. go figure.. but they do have a couple other models that I may consider getting for the project.. what really needs to happen is someone start a source forge project that authenticates finger prints using MySQL and Java... with a PHP front end for user authentication.. someone mentioned using the PHP functions to call the COM object... guess I have do some reading ;o) Cheers Joe Cheers!

That won't work. I don't want the users mapping a drive on their local

[PHP] foreach ($media as $key => $val) problem
Hi, all,
This might look like a mysql problem but I assure you it's my botching
the PHP which is the problem!
I'm building a part of a page with info from three tables: art, media
and media_art. Media_art is the intersection table. For every entry in
art there can be one or more entries in media.
art.art_id 1 has two entries in media_art:
Media_id art_id
32
52
I do this SQL, which in phpmyadmin returns the two names of media as
expected
SELECT media.media_name
FROM art, media_art, media
WHERE art.art_id = 1
AND art.art_id = media_art.art_id
AND media.media_id = media_art.media_id
Yet here's where I mess up. To see if I've got them in an array, I do:
$media = mysql_fetch_assoc($media_result);
while ($media = mysql_fetch_assoc($media_result)) {
asort($media);
foreach($media as $key => $val) {
echo "key: $key value: $val ";
}
} //end while $media = mysql_fetch_assoc($media_result)
and this returns only the name of the HIGHer number of the two (that is,
5).
What have I done wrong to echo out each name of the media associated
with this record? I'm trying, eventually, to echo it out in the age so
that it appears as
[art_id 1] comprises Ink, watercolor.
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Warning: append_child(): Can't append node, which is in a different document
than the parent node in test_dom.php on line 31
Is there any way I can copy an element from one DOM document to another
without having to dissect the original node/element and create a new
node/element
from scratch using the new DOM document and append to it?
thnx,
Chris

Are you getting any errors? If so, what are they? Also, shouldn't
the code look like this:
if(

($mydata->addresspublic == "yes")

Always put the value first in case you accidentally try an assignment

if(("" != $mydata->address) && ("yes" == $mydata->addresspublic)){
...stuff...
}
if(("" != $mydata->address) || ("yes" == $mydata->addresspublic)){
...stuff...

Those should work. Now, why do I recommend the value first? Easy.
Consider...
if($mydata->foo = "") // always true, $mydata->foo is now equal to blank
If I do this...
if("" = $mydata->foo) // an error is thrown. If I come back in and
finish the comparison operator (which I needed to know was broken) it
fixes the conditional statement at this point.

The best way to use autoload is with the auto_prepend_file configuration
directive. By adding the __autoload() function to a file that is
automatically prepended, you don't even have to think about it in your
scripts.
This kind of flexibility is nice -- you can have different prepend files
for different sites or different areas of the same site -- so that you
only have the funcationality accessible that you need right there. You
can also define your own naming schema -- which, admittedly is a dubious
advantage, but an advantage nonetheless.

[PHP] What Works Works Validator
This is OT in that it's more about HTML than PHP, but solutions involving PHP would be particularly welcome. After playing with the W3C validator again for an hour or so... The thing is, I really want to be backwards compatible with ancient browsers. Like, REALLY ancient. Like, say, going back as far as 3.0 browsers. So, relying on CSS to do my layout is a non-option. It's just not there. But I LIKE the idea of having HTML validated to catch tag imbalance, typos in attributes, and maybe even layout problems in weird versions of browsers (eg Netscape 4.7 or IE on the Mac). I don't really want to be compatible with the W3C standards, however, since the penalty is layout that just plain doesn't work in ancient browsers. For example, I simply can't validate with a 100% height table, but that's the only way to get the layout I want on both ancient and current browsers. Does anybody know of a "What Works Works Validator" which checks for maxiumum browser compatibility rather than the W3C standard? Or even just some tools that check HTML tag balancing, and maybe spell-check attributes. It has to be post-PHP URL-based on not IDE/editor based, unless there's a PHP interpreter built into the editor to figure out the HTML I'm spitting out... Failing all that, does anybody know a non-CSS way to get a table to be 100% tall so I can get rid of this last error? Or, perhaps, a way between JavaScript and PHP to calculate how much white-space I need to make a spacer image to be the right height? Or... PS Please let's not start a flame war about browser versions, browser makers, standards-compliance, etc. You can do whatever you want ; I just happen to believe that backwards compatibility is more important than compliance with standards that aren't even implemented correctly at this time. So if your answer doesn't actually match my question, just hit "delete" Thanks. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] write to file question, rewritten
I'm trying to write the results of a mysql_fetch_array db query to a
file and am unable to.
I'm putting the results into a variable $fileContent and then using
fwrite().
I would have liked to do something like:
$filecontent =
.
$result = mysql_query( "
SELECT orderedItems.*, items.*
FROM orderedItems, items
WHERE
orderedItems.orderID=$orderID[0] AND
orderedItems.itemID=items.itemsID
");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ))
{
$theItemID=$row["orderedItems.itemID"];
$theItemPrice=$row["itemPrice"];
$theItemQty=$row["itemQty"];
$thisItemID= sprintf("% 6d",$theItemID);
$thisItemPrice= sprintf("%7.2f",$theItemPrice);
$thisItemQty= sprintf("% 7d",$theItemQty);
$thisOrder .
$thisItemID .
$thisItemPrice .
$thisItemQty .
}
"; // end of $filecontent
but that doesn't work.

[PHP] Advise needed on moderated threaded chat
I've been given the bombed task of coming up with a pre-moderated threaded chat solution. I had implemented a moderated flash chat however with 100 users all making bulky comments to the chat guests, it became unbearable for the moderator to check them all off in time to make them cohesive to the discussion, as it was a java xml socket based flash chat therefore had no threading capabilities. Now I dont particularly want to have to write something like this in php, I can just see the Apache 1.3 server with a Mysql backend grinding as there is no threading. What could be the best solution here ? I use special tricks these days to prevent page state changing when posting using XMLHTTP , well I am using a package called Aframe which uses Sajax but allows for OO based services, so this could be a solution for the posting mechanism. However I would need to find the best solution which will use the less resources when posting, and refreshing, and adding moderated comments back into the chat thread in the position when it was posted possibly by the database primary key. If there is better ways either using sockets to another mechanism let me know. Dan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It looks like an object method request to me.
I thought this was covered in that section too :)
I didn't find where it's fully documented, but it's similar:
class A {
var $variable = "I'm objects's variable\n";
function method() {
echo "I'm object's method\n";
}
}
$a = new A;
$var = 'variable';
echo $a->$var;

Always put the value first in case you accidentally try an assignment
operator. Now, on to your code...(with my recommendations)
if(("" != $mydata->address) && ("yes" == $mydata->addresspublic)){
...stuff...
}
if(("" != $mydata->address) || ("yes" == $mydata->addresspublic)){
...stuff...
}
Those should work. Now, why do I recommend the value first? Easy.
Consider...
if($mydata->foo = "") // always true, $mydata->foo is now equal to blank
If I do this...
if("" = $mydata->foo) // an error is thrown. If I come back in and
finish the comparison operator (which I needed to know was broken) it
fixes the conditional statement at this point.

Actually you should *STILL* put all the crap in a database.
Then, say, once a week, pull all the stuff out of the database, send it to
the guy in whatever format they want, and mark the records you sent (and
ONLY the records you successfully sent) as "done"
Separate the capturing and recording of the data from the sending it off
to somebody in whatever format they want.
One, because they will probably change their format on you, or go out of
business, or whatever, and then you'd have to change the guts of your form
processing. Not good.
Two, because when it comes time to work out what happened to "missing"
orders/data, you've got a database trail of what you did.
Three, because by separating the order-taking from the order-fulfillment
(or, in your case, sending it off to somebody else to deal with) you are
dividing your problem into two smaller, more managable chunks. Always a
good idea.

Re: [PHP] write to file question, rewritten
Here is a function I use to write data to a file (It is similar to PHP 5's
file_put_contents but works for those who don't have a PHP 5 installation:)
function file_put_contents($filename, $data, $file_append = false) {
$fp = fopen($filename, (!$file_append ? 'w+' : 'a+'));
if(!$fp) {
trigger_error('file_put_contents cannot write in file.', E_USER_ERROR);
return;
};
fputs($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
};
in addition to using the above code, be sure that you are writing to a
folder in which you have write permissions.
Once the function is available to your code you can write your data in a
manner like this:
file_put_contents('/root/directory/pathtoyourfile/mydata.txt',$filecontent);

Re: [PHP] building php, using mysql for apache2
--with-mysql is supposed to be the directory in which configure can find the mysql header (.h) files and the mysql library (mysql.so) underneath that directory. /usr/bin/mysql_config is a program -- a "binary" if you will It's incredibly unlikely that your MySQL header files and the mysql.so library are in files underneath this binary, which isn't even a directory, much less the directory where your header and library files are living... Try --with-mysql=/usr or --with-mysql=/usr/local or... Do this: locate mysql.h locate mysql.so Then find the common portion of the directories where those files live. Silly Example: /elephant/snake/tiger/mysql.h /elephant/gorilla/pume/mysql.so You should use --with-mysql=/elephant because that's the common portion. In theory, configure will dig around in there and find the files it needs. In reality, it expects them to be in directories like 'include' and 'lib' with maybe an intervening directory like 'local' somewhere in the mess...

Maybe I'm being dumb, but how can an object's __autoload function get
called when the object class definition hasn't been loaded, and that's why
you're calling __autoload in the first place...
That seems like classic chicken/egg situation to me...
It's also incredibly likely that __autoload's being "stacked" won't work
out too well.
Consider this:
foo software defines an __autoload
Some foo_* classes get defined, autoloaded, everybody's happy.
bar software defines an __autoload
Some bar_* classes get defined, autoloaded, everybody's happy.
Now some foo_* classes try to get instantiated, for whateve reason.
bar's __autoload function is gonna kick, and that ain't good for foo_*
Seems to me you'd need an array of regular expressions and the function to
call:
array('foo_*'=>'foo__autoload', 'bar_*'=>'bar__autoload')
if you wanted to allow multiple __autoload functions to exist...
I'm sure there are other ideas/solutions floating around, but that's A
possibility.
For performance, maybe just use stristr and 'foo_' instead of RegEx and
'foo_*' [shrug]

Re: [PHP] Quick q, most prolly 0T
you can do that with just an index.php file.
say you have a directory called 'foo' with an index.php you can do
something like this:
if($_GET['a'] == 1)
{
echo 'blah';
}
mysite.com/foo/index.php?a=1
would be the same as:
mysite.com/foo/?a=1

Hey,
I noticed a site that is using php, but he is has shortened the url so that
the filename was not shown..
eg:
somesite.com/?a=1
How did they do that? if it was url rewriting it would be somesite.com/1/ so
what is he using?
Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks for replying. But if I want to copy his exact way of doing things...instead of index file I would like to use main.phphow would i do that? The reason I dont think its url rewriting is the rest of the files have all their values eg: somesite.com/?blah=blah somesite.com/?something=something&do=1 somesite.com/?page=intro&flash=no etc Thanks, Ryan > On Wed, June 1, 2005 7:25 pm, Ryan A said: > > Hey, > > I noticed a site that is using php, but he is has shortened the url so > > that > > the filename was not shown.. > > eg: > > somesite.com/?a=1 > > > > How did they do that? if it was url rewriting it would be somesite.com/1/ > > so > > what is he using? > > > > Thanks, > > Ryan > > > > > > > > -- > > No virus found in this outgoing message. > > Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. > > Version: 7.0.322 / Virus Database: 267.4.0 - Release Date: 6/1/2005 > > > > -- > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > > > > > > -- > Like Music? > http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Examples include index.html and index.php. You configure this with the DirectoryIndex directive in httpd.conf. Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] .INC files
Richard Lynch wrote: Why risk the possibility of your code being exposed or executed out of context when it's so *EASY* to move the include files and set include_path? I just don't understand the resistance to such a simple straight-forward elegant security measure. For 5 minutes of time, you can avoid dozens of potential pitfalls. [shrug] I completely agree with this sentiment, and it is relevant to many discussions, such as: 1. The debate between using mysql_real_escape_string() versus addslashes() or magic_quotes_gpc. 2. The debate between escaping data to be sent to the client with htmlentities() versus using str_replace() to just replace angled brackets with their HTML entity equivalents. 3. The debate between storing includes outside of document root versus using a .php file extension, instructing Apache to process .inc files as PHP, instructing PHP to deny requests for .inc files, etc. All of these discussions are a result of developers being foolish and stubborn. Just because you might not be able to think of an exploit for your particular approach doesn't mean that it's safe. Web application security is a highly specialized discipline, and unless you really know what you're doing, it's unlikely that you can properly refute practices that have been developed and refined over many years. Stick with best practices unless you are certain that they're not actually best, in which case, you should share your evidence with the community. :-) (By the way, it's faster to specify an absolute path to your includes than to rely on include_path. You can save PHP the hassle of searching.)
