First of all, be VERY MINDFUL of SQL-injection attacks. Right now your
code is *very* vulnerable. Now, your problem is exactly as you stated:
you don't get the data in the expected format. getenv ("REMOTE_HOST") is
NOT the referrer. Furthermore, the referrer (which I don't recall what
it is sent as exactly, as 'REFERER' I guess (usually gotten via $_SERVER
or $_ENV, but getenv() should also work)) is not 'just' the domain name
but also includes the path, so you have a huge chance that it won't be
exactly what you expect it to be. Parse the url (parse_url() is your
friend), extract the host and match against that.

[PHP] Question about urlencode....
Hi, OK this one is a little embarrasing. I've been doing this for years and I just wonder if I'm wrong Say you have an exit link on your site, e.g. /leave.php, which accepts a "url" get arg. You use this page to record stats/whatever and then issue a Location: header to take the user to the correct location. Fairly standard yeah? Well I've been doing something like: $url = 'http://colin.guthr.ie/'; echo 'Click'; The logic in /leave.php does not need to call urldecode as it's done automatically by PHP. This has worked well for me in the browsers I've used (IE, FF etc.) Recently, though, when using google webmaster tools I noticed that I was getting a lot of 404's and this ultimately stemmed from the double urlencoding of these url paramaters whereby the % signs used to encode characters like / as %2F were encoded themselves leading to %252F. PHP would automatically urldecode this to %2F but that still leaves me with an encoded variable. Ugg. So my question is, is the google bot just getting it wrong? Is it reading the link and seeing a % and encoding it? Or is it finding a page somewhere randomly on the interweb which has incorrectly double encoded it and going from there? It doesn't give you an referrer info which makes tracking down such errors pretty tricky :( I could just call urldecode manually, but I'm curious as to why I should need to.

Maybe this is what you want... take a look (in a syntax highlighting PHP
editor):
connect();
/*
You should have an escape method in the db class, otherwise take a look
at mysql_real_escape_string - for MySQL
Also, beware of magic quotes if they are enabled they can mess things
up (not in this case,
but as a general hint).
I usually put things like these in an .htaccess file.
Here's a sample, for a site under construction:
php_flag short_open_tag on
php_flag register_globals off
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
php_flag magic_quotes_runtime off
php_flag magic_quotes_sybase off
# Switch to off in production stage
php_flag display_errors on
php_value error_reporting 2039
# This setting depends on you requirements
php_value max_execution_time 300
*/
$safeHash = $db->escape($hash);
/*
If your db class doesn't have an escape method you can do
$safeHash = mysql_real_escape_string($hash);
*/
$r = $db->select("SELECT duration, label, website FROM hhcu_codonations where
hash = '$safeHash' AND valid = '1'");
while ($row=$db->get_row($r)) {
// found record - lets see if we can display the image and which image
extract ($row);
$now = time();
if ($duration >= $now) {
/*
The call on this is as follows;
http://mydev.co.za/myscript.php?hash=ARBHASHCODE"; border='0'>
*/
$referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$params = parse_url($referer);
// Beware of gotchas if the referer has no "www" in the host
param
// We'll add "www." to the host if it's not there
$host = (substr($params['host'], 0, 4) == 'www.') ?
$params['host'] : 'www.'.$params['host'];
// Now $host holds something like "www.subscribersite.com"
$refererWebsite = $params['scheme'].'://'.$host.'/';
/*
So now, the referer is the expected referer or not
You don't need to use MD5 here, you've already checked
the hash
when you queried the DB. You now need to check that the
referer is right for the supplied hash
I'm assuming here you are only hashing the website's
url. You would only need to check the hash
against the request headers if you use a more complex
hashing strategy like the following
define('HASH_SALT', 'a secret string');
$websiteUrl = 'http://www.subscribersite.com/';
$websiteIP = '60.50.40.30';
$hashToStoreInDB =
md5($websiteUrl.$websiteIP.HASH_SALT);
But if you use such a method, you wouldn't need to
check the referer either, you'd build a tentative
hash out of the $_SERVER parameters (HTTP_REFERER,
REMOTE_ADDR) and the HASH_SALT constant,
match that tentative hash against the supplied hash
($_GET['hash']), and then look up that hash
in the database if both hashes match... that would be
all
*/
if ($refererWebsite == $website) {
switch ($label) {
// ... code to follow
}
}
}

Re: [PHP] Parsing XML with DTD
Hey Jochem & all, Thanks much for this tip. I will check it out. A little further reading looks like PEAR provides some XML and DTD capabilities? Anyone have any experience with this? Also, the reason I asked about the DTD is that these XML files are really extensive, providing lots of varied info about literature, history, a whole ton of topics, so I thought parsing the DTD will be necessary to know what kinds of data I'm really looking at. I'll check out Jochem's suggestion now, but would also like to hear if anyone has used PEAR, and also about the need for the DTD for big, complicated XML files. Would it be helpful if I pasted one of the XML files to the list? Thanks again!

If you only need to know what kind of data you are looking at, you can just grab the "doctype" property for the DocumentElement and compare it to a set of (known by you) predefined doctypes... After that, you can implement a walk through the elements of the XML stream knowing what you can expect about it. This will simplify your programming logic, unless there are infinite doctypes for the data source in question. For validation, you can use this http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocument-validate.php (only if you are interested in the document being well formed according to the DTD) For identifying the DTD, check the DocumentElement "doctype" property and the "DOMDocumentType" class http://us.php.net/manual/en/ref.dom.php.

Re: [PHP] Question about urlencode....
Unless your URL is more complicated than your example, you shouldn't need to use urlencode() at all. You'd need to use it in a case where your string may contain characters that aren't valid in URLs like spaces and such: $baseurl = "http://www.somesearchsite.com/search=";; $searchfor = "Grace O'Mally"; $searchurl = $baseurl . urlencode($searchfor); Since you set your URL explicitly and it's not something entered by a user, you shouldn't need it. Try that and see if it fixes your other problem with double encoding.. or at least gives a better clue as to where it's coming from.

RE: [PHP] Page not displayed/Forbidden on PHP forms
I would check the follwing: - If the problematic host has apache's mod_security enabled. The system administrator can tell you if mod_security is disallowing some of the input (which might cause the "403 forbidden"). - PHP.INI parameters max_execution_time, max_input_time and max_input_nesting_level (more info is at the online php manual) you can query these values through ini_get, and you can set them through .htaccess files, e.g. "php_value max_execution_time 300" (if the hosting company allows their use). - Call ignore_user_abort at the top of the processing script (CAREFULLY read the notes for that function) and query the value returned by connection_status, or connection_aborted (maybe create a log file for the returnded values through successive requests to keep track of any issue) - Check what (cache) headers the server or your processing script is sending to the browser. - Also, if $_REQUEST processing is a time consuming operation and you use ob_start, ob_end_flush, etc you can try flushing the output buffer from time to time (if your programming logic allows for that). Well, this is quite a list... but if they are getting "403 forbidden" it might be an issue with the server configuration (such as a highly restricted mod_security configuration), rather than server performance or speed. Hope that helps. Ohh, by the way, if you can send the culprit URL to us for testing it will help a lot (BUT DON'T DO THAT if this is a private system, or a system for which you don't want to get any additional traffic).

[PHP] Page not displayed/Forbidden on PHP forms
We are running identical web applications with two different hosts. Both are LAMP. With one of hosts, we are having reports of users seeing "Page not displayed" or "403 Forbidden" after submitting forms. These forms are always sending data to the same page from which they started and the problem is not consistent. (ie. sometimes the forms work fine, sometimes they deliver the error). The problem only seems to have occurred with users on IE and mostly who are a significant distance from the server. This does not seem to be occurring at the other host. The problem host is not being responsive about solving the problem (which will cost them our business). Could this be a PHP time-out issue? Something in the PHP settings or is it likely a server issue or something else. Your expertise - as always - is much appreciated!
