That's true... if you use ie; konquerer, and adjust settings as "send no
identification", then php script has nothing to determine browser type, OS
etc. etc. The other way to hide identification + ip address is to use proxy
servers, which is very common nowadays.

[PHP] htmlentities()

[Ronald Wiplinger]

I tried to understand htmlentities by putting this code into a test.php:


Test of evil input








";
$field2=htmlentities($field1,ENT_QUOTES,UTF-8);
echo "field2=$field2";
echo htmlentities($field1,ENT_QUOTES,UTF-8);

echo "";
$str = "A 'quote' is bold";

// Outputs: A 'quote' is bold
echo htmlentities($str);
echo "";
// Outputs: A 'quote' is bold
echo htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);

}
?>



The output on the screen is:

field1=*Greater input and lower input*
field2=Greater input and lower input

Greater input and lower input

A 'quote' is bold
A 'quote' is bold


I expected that it would give me in the second line:
field2=Greater input and lower input

and the lower two lines I expected as:

A 'quote' is bold
A 'quote' is bold


What do I miss understand here?

[PHP] Looking for a navigation recommendation

[Jon Westcot]

Hi all:

I'm working on a project wherein I need to be able to navigate to previous 
and next sections of data.  I'm wondering what the best way to code for this 
would be.

When I enter the page, I'd like it to use something in the MySQL SELECT 
such as "LIMIT 0,25", but the "0" portion needs to change with the appropriate 
selections of "Next" or "Prev".  I thought that setting Next or Prev as an 
anchor back to the same page would let me pass along data, but it doesn't seem 
to be happening, at least, not in the $_POST variables.

Any suggestions for me?  Or maybe a recommendation for a similar page I 
could view and learn from?

Thanks so much for any help you can send my way.

Jon

you are echo'ing the same field1 variable as before.
by your comments at the bottom of what you expected the output
to be, I think you are wanting to use the $field2 variable instead.

echo htmlentities($field1,ENT_QUOTES,UTF-8);

I would suggest the curl documentation. In order to duplicate what a 
browser does you basically just need to make sure you persist cookies 
between requests. Depending on what the site you're accessing does it 
may not be particularly trivial to do this. You may end up needing to 
parse each page that's returned to get the right URL to use for the next 
request, but it shouldn't get any more complicated than that.


As I mentioned above I would strongly recommend that you do not store 
your authentication credentials anywhere. If you need this to be an 
automated system don't bother - it's not worth the risk.


Oh, and don't underestimate the damage that can be caused by someone 
gaining access to this account. Just because you can't carry out 
transactions through the site doesn't mean the information it gives you 
access to can't be used for evil purposes.


One last thing... you may find yourself getting blocked from the banks 
site if you make too many failed requests. You may want to pick another 
site while you learn how curl works.

NOW THAT is a strong word.

Are  you really a sysadmin? or are you just a worker in an IT firm?
Have you signed a contract? or are you anyway just the cleaner there?

I am not sure what are you trying to do here.
Is this a list about php?

It seems to me that you are from the http://veryevil.org site?
How many systems have you already hacked?
How many systems have you already damaged?
Are you proud of that?

Go to my website (easy to find it out which one, right?) There you will
find the bank account number and the bank name.
Good Luck! I wish you a happy jail term!!!


NO answer please. PLEASE no answer!
Please go back to your room and think at least ten times what you
actually told us now about yourself!

I found in the meantime some code to play with. I also found a tutorial
I followed, but it was only to pull some web sites.
The challenge is to select so many things on the following pages.

That is the point I do not understand. Where is the risk? The bank
information is stored on the customers web site anyway, in order that
their user can pay. The only thing what is not there is the login
information.
I believe if we can use the out of the path credentials like we access
the sql server it should be same secure.

The bank does not allow transactions, it is only for viewing the last
100 days transactions.

Well, I will not try more than 3 times in a row with curl and than with
the browser. Thanks for the hint though.
