Re: [PHP] Tidy HTML source?
This is getting too philosophical for my taste. There are many reasons to justify different ways of programming and each user, according to his/her requirements, experience and circumstances weights them differently and may decide in a different way. I am not about argue in favor of any one method. I just developed a program that might help one of those particular methods, which anyone is free to choose or not to. If you find it useful, I am happy to help, if you don't, that is fine with me.

Web services tend to be quite small applications, but even for larger ones I've never found performance to be an issue. Servers are fast and built for this kind of work: opening and reading files, running software. They have fast chips and big RAM. Regardless of which technique you use, you're going to utilize server resources and get your results in however many milliseconds. A templating system requires the processor to merge content with template. An inline markup assembly system requires the processor to build the markup from function calls. Where is the technique that doesn't take machine cycles? What about compexity ? I separate logic from markup in order to reduce complexity. I find both PHP logic and HTML markup easier to write, read, proofread, and modify when they're separate from one another (I use the word 'clean'). Those SO nice seperated template system produces lots of mini TPL files. I'm not talking about "those template systems," whichever ones you're referring to, I'm talking about programming style and practice. I don't use any templating system you've ever seen. I roll my own code. I can make my templates as few or many as the project deserves. You only need to produce as many template files as you need and want. Separation of markup from logic doesn't necessarily mean separate files: when I'm doing somethign quick & dirty I'll include the markup in the PHP file as a heredoc. What's most helpful to me is to remove the markup tags and attributes from the PHP logic structures as much as possible. I haven't seen any templating system out there in the world that I like, mostly because they mix the markup & logic too much for my taste or because they don't let me design the markup precisely the way I want. You have to include them... Includes are easy. Actually I usually use file_get_contents() in a function that selects accompanying CSS & template files programmatically. You have to parse them. Not necessarily. But if you do need to parse them, you need to write the parsing engine only once. Also you have to track and manage them. Yes, as you must manage all the files that make up a project. Adding a few more isn't a burden, especially if they bring clarity and efficiency to the work. And I'm not sure those template system gives you freedom. Because you cannot change your site design with this tpl files. If you change them too much you have to change your php code. I beg to differ: you *can* change your site design if you're using templates. That's part of the purpose of layer separation and templating in the first place, to enable markup changes without necessarily requiring software changes. You're free to change the template and/or change the stylesheet and/or change the data source according to your needs. Although we talk of separating logic from markup from presentation, these are not absolutely clean separations -- each component must have hooks in the others, otherwise there's no basis for a merge! Therefore if you change one component greatly enough, at least one other component must change as well. This is true of HTML and CSS, it's true of HTML and JavaScript, it's true of HTML and PHP. It's true of any interactive components in any system. It's true of PHP itself -- if you change a function's arguments or return type or a class's methods, you'll have to change the parts of your code that call that function or invoke that class. That's just the way it is. I'm sure you wouldn't argue that we write our software as one long mainline stream just to avoid includes and function calls. But it sounds as though you're suggesting that logic & markup should be combined in the same statements simply because you don't want to have to change more than one component. Really good website designs can make modification less onerous. Layer separation is one of those techniques. Fortunately there are many ways to accomplish similar goa

Re: [PHP] Help with strange include problem in PHP 5.2.0
Hi Richard, Hi all, The include path is correct. That was one of the first things I played around with. At the moment, it's include_path = ".". I also tried renaming the php.ini file to php.ini.off so that it wasn't found and took all the defaults, but with no success. Last night I built PHP 5.1.6 and took the same php.ini file. Everything worked. The build environment was the same, the configure arguments were the same, only the php version was different. I'm guessing that I've done something wrong somewhere because I haven't found any references to this problem from any one else. I just have no idea what it could be. I don't know if it's any help in locating the problem, my build environment is Solaris 10, Sun Studio 10 with the Sun C and C++ compilers. # cc-V Sun C 5.7 2005/01/07 # CC -V CC: Sun C++ 5.7 2005/01/07 LDFLAGS=-L/opt/sfw/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -L/usr/lib -R/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2 CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/sfw/include -I/usr/sfw/include/openssl -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include -I/usr/include -I/opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2/sdk/include CFLAGS=-I/opt/sfw/include -I/usr/sfw/include/openssl -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include -I/usr/include -I/opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2/sdk/include And to your "rant" about the code developers make - I totally agree with you.

Re: [PHP] Tidy HTML source?
Dear Paul, Many thanks for replaying my message, It was very helpful and now I really understood why I so negative for templating systems... I haven't got programer background or education. I'm self learner. Many of php programmers have other programming experiences, and if I understand correctly their thinking was very different than me. They taking html elements as programming variables. And because of this they want to use tpl files, because that html vas broken their code structure. And In my aproach, I thinking php and html are combined. When thinking code in my mind I realize it with HTML. And my aproach uses combination both of them. This is about to how I educade my mind. And thats why I jumped satyam idea, because html doesn't fit in php naturally, I have to to some ".." things to combine php and HTML and his aproach very close to use html tags naturally in php code. Also you are right that bad tpl experience, I spend my last 3 months to understand a project uses heavy tpl thing. I was very very messed. Of course this programmer responsibility. And one thing. If I remember correctly one of the Larsmus web presentation (its about to performance, Getting rich via php or someting like that) says reducing includes gives some kind of edge about performance.

Hi Jochem,
I meant "overly-complicated" in this specific context.
If each key of this array is going to contain only one value why not
reduce the array to something like this :
array(1) {
["1.2"]=>
array(2) {
["code"]=> string(3) "111"
["status"]=> string(3) "new"
}
}
That's all I was referring to ...

RE: [PHP] EZ array problem - What's wrong with my brain?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php
If you check out the documentation on arrays, you will see the second
code example shows the expected behavior of arrays in this case.
$arr = array("foo" => "bar", 12 => true);
echo $arr["foo"]; // bar
echo $arr[12];// 1
Now, since each element can be indexed by either a string or an integer,
then you can do something like this:
$arr = array("1.2" => array(1,2,3,4));
$arr[0] = & $arr["1.2"];
That would set up your doubly indexed array so that you could use either
associative keys or numeric keys.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php
PHP.net can explain how references work better than I can. Basically it
creates a "symbolic link" (to use a *nix term) to the key "1.2". It
shouldn't take up too much memory to do that.

RE: [PHP] EZ array problem - What's wrong with my brain?
I forgot to mention that you won't be able to use "0", "1", etc. as PHP
will convert those to integers. If you do use them, then they will
replace [0] with whatever you put in there, and if you are using the
references, it will replace both instances with your new ["0"]

That would set up your doubly indexed array so that you could use either
associative keys or numeric keys.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php
PHP.net can explain how references work better than I can. Basically it
creates a "symbolic link" (to use a *nix term) to the key "1.2". It
shouldn't take up too much memory to do that.

If your array looks like the one below then there is no $var[0] and

Re: [PHP] EZ array problem - What's wrong with my brain?
Well if the key of your array is unknown, you could always gather the
key names with array_keys() and fiddle something from there or just
change the structure of you array to be more adapted to you needed or
use what Ray just proposed in another post concerning references and the
creation of a numeric key as a "symbolic link" towards your string key ...
Good luck !

Re: FW: [PHP] Re: Please hack my app
Hi Jordan,
Thank you for your offer. As you know, I've signed up a couple of days
ago. I ran a scan yesterday and have gotten a big PDF file out of it.
I've quickly scanned through the results and it appears there are a lot of
times when I use one of my own functions (sometimes even without an
argument) it finds a vulnerability. I will analyze the results more
detailed later on. Would you appreciate comments on the service?
Thanks again,

My point was that somebody who was doing:
system("env");
in a different part of the script, to debug something else, will
expose the password, probably without even realizing it.

Re: [PHP] hiding passwd in cmdlines that appear in the process list
If you did use ENV to set the username and password, you could always unset it
using the same method after you ran the mysql command. So it'd only be exposed
for a very brief period of time and slightly less accessible than just running
a process list.
It still falls under the category of "security through obscurity" which isn't a
best practice scenario. But I can't think of another way to run mysql under
these circumstances that's any better.

[PHP] Remote MySQL connection via PHP file
Hi all, I've been searching around for a while, but cannot find a solution. For a project of mine, I need to keep the connection information to a MySQL server database on another server. Example remote file: Example local file: http://www.remoteserver.com/remote_file.php";; // Use variables $user and $pass somehow... ?> I've tried including the file which has the username/pass, etc information via HTTP, but this doesn't seem to work. I assume because it returns what a web browser would return if this file was loaded into one, a blank screen. I've tried using the return statement in the file which houses the information, but this seems to return a boolean value (1 or 0)... not sure what's up with that.

Re: [PHP] Remote MySQL connection via PHP file
i suggest you:
database.conf (the file on another server)
host=localhost
user=test
pass=test
anothervar=anothervalue
on your script:
$temp = file(http://../database.conf);
foreach($temp as $val) {
$temp2 = explode("=",$val);
$$temp2[0] = $temp[1];
}
after that, you`ll have:
$host = 'localhost'
$user = 'test'
$pass = 'test'
$anothervar ='anothervalue';
mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
(bla bla)
hope this help;

RE: [PHP] Remote MySQL connection via PHP file
That seems like it wouldn't be very secure at all. Maybe it's just because I don't understand the reason for *having* to do it that way. My first suggestion would be to see if there's any way you don't have to do that. If you have to do it, I would suggest maybe having it on an NFS share, or maybe FTP.

I'm sure there are more efficient ways to do this, but here's a fall-back: Write a PHP program (web service) to run on the server where the database is located. From the other server, make an HTTP request that includes the connection details (obfuscated), some sort of password that can verify the authenticity of the requesting agent, and either the literal SQL query or a symbolic pointer to a stored query. http://example.com/sqlservice.php?u=HJDFH&p=hglkdl&a=1095673263&q=members or http://example.com/sqlservice.php?u=HJDFH&p=hglkdl&a=1095673263&q=SELECT%20Firstname... The web service validates the request and returns the dataset, in XML, as a serialized array, or in another easy-to-use format, for the requesting program to parse and utilize. The first thing I'd put in the return dataset would be a status code to communicate MySQL errors, perhaps also num_rows for SELECT queries to reduce the number of trans-server requests necessary for typical jobs.

have you thought of the security implications of this, a text file with

on your script:
$temp = file(http://../database.conf);
foreach($temp as $val) {
$temp2 = explode("=",$val);
$$temp2[0] = $temp[1];
}
after that, you`ll have:
$host = 'localhost'
$user = 'test'
$pass = 'test'
$anothervar ='anothervalue';
mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
(bla bla)

Re: [PHP] magic_quotes
Hello,
without trying to embarrass myself, but
Here the "smart quoting" function off php.net
|function quote_smart($value)
{
// Stripslashes
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$value = stripslashes($value);
}
// Quote if not a number or a numeric string
if (!is_numeric($value)) {
$value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . "'";
}
return $value;
}
From that Idea I implemented that into my MySQL class:
public function smartQuote( $string )
{
if( get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1 ) {
return stripslashes($string);
}
else {
return mysql_real_escape_string($string);
}
}
I call up in in the following manner:
$result= $mysql->query("SELECT *
FROM [[prefix]]_users
WHERE name =
'".MySQL::smartQuote($_POST['username'])."'
AND password =
'".md5(MySQL::smartQuote($_POST['password']))."'
");
Now, when magic_quotes is off and the user name is say Jingle'sBells -
it works fine, because mysql_real_escape_string() kicks in.
But if magic_quotes is on I get the error that something is invalid in
my SQL syntax near 'sBells' - because of could it would look like name =
'Jingle'sBells'
So I modified a little:
public function smartQuote( $string )
{
if( get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1 ) {
return mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($string));
}
else {
return mysql_real_escape_string($string);
}
}
That now works both with magic_quotes on and off for Inserts / Selects
etc. etc. (of course I have to call on MySQL::smartQuote() for each
value - but it's worth it. Or does my function defeat the point totally?
I did notice that with both magic_quotes On or Off data is inserted
correctly into the table as Jingle's Bells without slashes.
I was wondering if my above function is correct and the website's
documentation is off a little?

Johannes
I'm grateful for any help.

You almost have it. What you need to do is if magic quotes is on,
then stripslashes and apply mysql_real_escape_string. If magic quotes
is off only apply mysql_real_escape_string since php didn't escape
values for you.
Also in your mysql_real_escape_string I would suggest adding the
second parameter to your connection.

Blah sorry, I saw your second example not your final code. Some
scripts I use have different database connections and because of that
it is very important to always make sure I am using the correct link
identifier.
The php best practice example checks the string to see if it is a
number. If it is there technically isn't any reason to escape because
there won't be any quotes.
Just out of curiosity how exactly are you going to put the link
identifier in your method since it is static?

It would work if your script on the other end wasn't a PHP script, but was plaintext which output the PHP source you want. BEFORE (you did) AFTER (you should do) [php source] [php source] ?>"; ?> echo $php; The difference being that one executes the PHP on the remote server, and outputs nothing, and the other composes PHP source to be output, which is then 'include'd on the local server and executed there. Obligatory Security Notes: You're opening up a giant can of worms in security here. If you're not doing this over SSL, a code injection attack is pretty easy. Plus, anybody who can surf to the remote machine will be seeing your password as output. You really need to think deep about whether you really want to do this, and why, and all the security implications. Start reading here: http://phpsec.org -- Some people have a "gift" link here.

Re: [PHP] Help with strange include problem in PHP 5.2.0
Try running it under some kind of debugger and see if you can figure out what directories it's even checking when it doesn't find the file...

[PHP] Acceptably Converting a 24bit PNG to a JPEG?
Is there some trick to getting PHP GD to properly convert a 24bit PNG
[with alpha] into a JPEG without garbling the image output?
The below will output the jpg image, but it appears that the alpha
channel from the original png is garbling the jpeg a bit
To no avail, I tried setting imageAlphaBlending and imageSaveAlpha to
'false' and 'true'
I also tried setting the jpeg quality to 90 and 100.
$image_output = "myimage.jpeg";
$image = imagecreatefrompng($original_24bit_png_image);
imageAlphaBlending($image, true);
imageSaveAlpha($image, true);
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($image,'',100);
imagedestroy($image);

not to call mysql_real_escape_string.
I don't know UTF-8/UTF-16/Klingon well enough to know that it's going
to Do The Right Thing.
>$value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . "'";
I also would not attempt to add the apostrophes at this layer of
business logic, personally.
Put them into the SQL string, rather than as part of the "data" being
munged.

The easier and more clear way to do what you did:

The function you have is correct; The documentation is correct.
Resolving those two inside your head is going to take a tiny bit more
effort on your part, but you've obviously "got it" to about 99% now!
Rock On!

Why not use lower(link) in SQL to get the link out in the first place?
Also, the domain part cannot be case-sensitive, so you needn't worry
about that part.
For the 10% that don't work, a quick check with common variants on
capitalization might help to fix those up.
Since these are mostly instructor's websites, that last 10% I figure
it would be easier to just ask the instructors to change their site
addresses.
Since these are in the middle of the text, I don't think that lower
will work. Doesn't it just do the same thing as strtolower? The query
as is right now is (edited) "select note_text as note_text from
classes" where note_text is many lines of text and in the middle of
some are links and emails.
What I ended up with, is this, which takes care of website addresses
and emails as well (although those stay all-caps). The str_replace is
there because some have the HTTP and some don't and I figured it was
easier to just wipe them all out first.
$section_notes = str_replace("HTTP://","",$section_notes);
$section_notes = preg_replace('/WWW.(.*?) /e', '"www." . strtolower("$1") . "\" target=\"_blank\">http://www."; .
strtolower("$1") . ""', $section_notes);
$section_notes = eregi_replace("(([a-z0-9_]|\\-|\\.)+@([^[:space:]]*)
([[:alnum:]-]))", "mailto:\\1\";>\\1",$section_notes);
Anyone have a better idea on how to accomplish the same thing?

Re: [PHP] magic_quotes
Blah sorry, I saw your second example not your final code. Some scripts I use have different database connections and because of that it is very important to always make sure I am using the correct link identifier. The php best practice example checks the string to see if it is a number. If it is there technically isn't any reason to escape because there won't be any quotes. Just out of curiosity how exactly are you going to put the link identifier in your method since it is static? Hey Eric, The function standalone seems static, but it's implemented in a MySQL class I wrote. I can just add $this->connId as the link identifier And it should work no problem :) Regards, -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] signal handling
Hello Despite all of my results to succeed, i can not make this work. What i want to do is to write a simple socket server in PHP. My current example just prints the same character, you send to server from keyboard. It is successfull in forking, and generates child as people connect. However in any way the client exits, the child process remains defunct on system. I am trying to use signal handling, but some comments say through hanging sockets, it is not possible to handle signals. How can i stop this from happening, i am attaching the code i am working on, the 2 signals added at the bottom are just for test there, i tried all other signal types. Sending a posix_kill(posix_getpid(), SIGKILL) to the process when the client exits does not kill it too, it still is defunct. My code: http://pastey.net/2910 Thanks!

You did NOT just compare a function call with an fstat and disk seek and disk read as if they were equal?!!! Show me *ANY* machine on the planet where those two options have similar performance metrics. Actually I was referring to machine cycles, not disk access time. But on the topic of disc access, most mid-to-large PHP applications are going to be opening & reading various files -- PHP includes, databases, and not uncommonly images and text files. Even if a templating application had a somewhat higher different disk-access profile from the average PHP app, I wouldn't consider that by itself to be a reason not to open template files. I consider that to be good use of the resources, not abuse. >>You have to parse them. > > Not necessarily. But if you do need to parse them, you need to write > the parsing engine only once. You mean all those templating languages are still on version 1.0 of their parser? I think not. I think not, either. The person I was replying to said, "You have to parse them," as though parsing a lot of files meant a lot of human labor. My reply meant that once you write the parser, your work is done, and then the parser parses any and all files you give it for lunch. Of course you're going to improve a parser over time, just as you are going to improve all aspects of a maturing application. >>Also you have to track and manage them. > > Yes, as you must manage all the files that make up a project. Adding > a few more isn't a burden, especially if they bring clarity and > efficiency to the work. Few? Try 10 X as many for most templating solutions. Ten times as many templates as there are pages on the site? Wow, that's a lot. Fortunately I don't use any of those templating solutions you're referring to, and excessive templates isn't a problem for me. My own software usually takes three templates per page -- header, body, and footer, and the header and footer are generally global throughout the site. That seems quite reasonable to me.

This topic comes up so often... My template engine allows you to punt any chunk of content you want to an extra template. Then when you compile the page you get 1, yes, 1 php page that is directly accessed from the browser. Thus, contrary to the kinds of template engines to which Richard refers, my engine reduces the fstat call count while keeping your content in nice maintainable and re-usable sized chunks. layout.template --- layout/content.template --- contactUs.source Blah blah blah blah blah blah... please contact us. patterns.txt array ( 'target' => 'contactUs.php', 'source' => '//contactUs.source', 'template' => '//layout.template', 'title'=> 'Contact Us', ); contactUs.php - Everything defined in patterns.txt compiled together such that the tag is replaced by the source file. All and tags are imported during compile time to produce a single php file that IS the file accessed by visitors via their browser. If there's no need to have dynamic code, this does a great job of compiling static HTML files also... and I don't know many other template systems that can compile their templates to statically accessible HTML files. NYAH, NYAH! That said, in general my framework uses one source file for each class (or two classes if it's a factory and what the factory produces)... so I guess I save on content includes, and lose out on dynamic class includes. But then, other than 5 or 6 core classes, if you don't use the other classes, then they don't get loaded (on demand requests).
