Re: [PHP] Protected ZIP file with password

[Petrus Bastos]

Nick,

Thanks again for your worry. So, let's go, here goes my situation. I'm
exporting data to another system. That system have an option to be feed by a
password protected zip file. The export activity will be occur in this way:
the user will generate the file on my application and will put this file
into that another system. So, I need generate that file. Maybe one solution
is to generate the file unzipped and determine that user should zip the file
with password on his Windows or Linux operating system. But, I can't let
that responsibility on user hands. So, because that I need to generate the
file already protected.

PS: Sorry my bad english. I'm Brazilian and I'm not fluent english.

Thanks one more time,
Petrus Bastos.

[PHP] open a secondary window/tab in the browser from php

[julian]

Hi,

I have an application that along  filling in some forms, it produces a 
pdf file, as confirmation of all entered data.


I want to send this pdf file to a different window/tab of the browser, 
so it is displayed and can latter be printed.


In the mean time, the original window contains a confirmation message, 
to continue with the work flow.


I would like to do this without use of JavaScript

Any combination of headers ??

Any hints appreciated.

[PHP] Converting tab delimited file to CSV

[Graham Cossey]

I was wondering if someone could offer some advice please.

I'm being sent data in tab delimited files which I'm trying to split
into smaller files and convert to comma delimited using PHP.

Now, I can replace the tabs with commas and opening the resulting
files in a basic text editor all looks fine. However when I open the
files in M$ Excel they're still being treated as tab delimited and all
values are being shoved into a single column.

What can I do in the PHP code to specifically make the file CSV and be
treated as such by M$ Excel?

I'm currently just using fopen for old and new files and fwrite.

Re: [PHP] open a secondary window/tab in the browser from php

[Neo [GC]]

No, this is not possible.

You have to do at least two requests, one to get the PDF, one to get the 
html confirmation message.


Normally you would onle open the pdf in a new window using 
target="_blank" for the link. Workflow isn't broken, but you have no 
confirmation message.


There are several ways to do what you want with javascript, but without 
there is none.

don't double-click on file_name.csv, instead open MS Excel, then click on 
file open and locate your file, then you'll know what to do from there.

I know I can Open in Excel and then go through an "import" process
specifying the delimiter and string enclosure etc, however the files I
used to get were "true" CSV files and opened fine, I'm wondering if
there's some kind a file header or the like that specifies the kind of
data contained in the file.

I don't have an issue with commas within the data, but thanks for highlighting.

Probably just excel trying to be "helpful" again and totally scr3wing
things up :-/

When you do this, ensure you escape any commas that may exist in the data.

IIRC, Excel handles this be enclosing the whole field in "double quotes".
Can remember how it handles escaping these though...

You have to use an anchor tag's target attribute to open the new tab or

Well, I think the short answer to that is Yes, curl can do what you want.
You could pull in the page with curl, then go thru it and populate form
fields, then display it.  You wouldn't need an iframe, you'd just pull it in
with curl, run thru and populate the fields, then display the finished
product on the screen.  One thing you may also want to keep in mind is that
I think you'd have to go through and fix the image links and url links if
they don't have the full url path in the html.

If there are double quotes inside a quoted string, they are doubled. eg.

You can also do what sites like H&R Block do - create an IFRAME
with the PDF displayed therein.  As long as the user has the Adobe
Acrobat plugin, the PDF will display inline, complete with all
toolbars and scrollbars, allowing them to save and print fine.

What methods do you have available?  When you run phpinfo script ( what does it say the compile statement is?  

If it was compiled --with-zip then you should be good with the PECL usage

Otherwise, you are probably SOL...

When using MicroShaft products to open generated files, you will need to open 
M$ software first, then use File -> Open to correctly open the file.

M$ Excel uses TABS to split their CSV files (don't ask why, it's MicroShaft) so 
you'll have to play/tweak your files to get them to open correctly.

In all honesty, Petrus, since none of the suggestions made to you
will work in your situation, I'm afraid the answer is "you can't do
it."

The only way you'll be able to do it is to move to a host that
allows exec() or at least has (or will allow you to install) a
PEAR/PECL module to perform more advanced zip operations.

No combination of headers will open a new tab/window.

target="_blank" will do what you want, if it's in an A(nchor) tag or

I think it defaults to whatever you last used, not to a specific choice.

I also *think* that MS actually invented CSV, as I recall...

Probably, since the mess of comma, quotes to escape commas, and
double-quotes to escape the quotes not escaping the commas, is typical
of the wooly-brained MS "design" (sic)

First, note that MS Excel is quite happy to import tab-delimited if
you punch the right radio buttons on the import dialog...

Next, use fgetcsv and fputcsv with different args ("\t" and ",") to
read/write the files, and you should get valid CSV files.

That would seem to be a possibility. I can quite happliy double-click a .csv

Sometimes, you can write a cron job that does what you want from the
shell, and that has less restrictions, since the php.ini file can be
specified/modified on the command line on the fly...

Perhaps that would help you here...


And a potentially truly UGLY hack...

I'm betting that the "password protection" of the zip file is just a
few different bytes in the header portion of a zip...

So take an un-protected zip, and password-protect it, and then do a
"diff" and see what changed.

Then take that "diff" output, and just paste it in as the front of the
other zip files...

Might work.

Might make hash of the zip files.

Won't know til you try.

Perhaps you could use SCP (or SSH tunneling) to transfer the file from
system to system, so that it need not ever be visible to the outside
world, and thus not need the rather lame zip password.

Another option would be to take the whole file and 2-way encrypt it
with a public/private key pair, and install the private key on the
receiving server.

In other words, get out of the zip password rut, and protect the file
some other way.

Actually, it will return true for anthing with 4 consecutive digits
anywhere inside it, including:

abc1234def

You want:
"/^\d{4}\$/"
if you want EXACTLY 4 digits and nothing more.

^ anchors the string at the start
$ anchors the string at the end

The \ in front of $ is because $ is PHP for a variable, and while
there are not characters after it, so it's NOT a variable today, you
might add some on another day...

I personally would have used char(14) for a barcode, since it's really
a 14-character fixed-width thing.

You could use formatting on the output to get the leading zeros:
sprintf("%0,14d", $barcode); //or somesuch http://php.net/sprintf

And comparisons within MySQL should type-juggle to int, and make
things work out...

So, really, the bigint(14) should be okay, once you format the output
to "look right"

This is your first mistake...

Use time fields for time, so you can do time operations on time fields.

Otherwise, you are just re-inventing the wheel and re-writing a
billion lines of code that the database geeks already wrote, tested,
and QA-ed.

Once you fix this, your question becomes a non-question...

Do you mean that you are also using the "no_cookie" setting in PHP and
using the URL to pass around the session ID?

Or jut that you don't use "extra" cookies on top of the one PHP uses
by default?

If the URL has the old session ID, and you aren't destroying it
completely somehow, then they'll be logged in once they go back to the
URL with the session ID.



If you want to destroy the session completely, use:
$_SESSION = array();
to wipe out ALL the session data.

Also, on *some* browsers, sending the cookies session_start (if you
are using cookies) and the Location: header with an INCOMPLETE URL
means the browser will screw up.

Use the COMPLETE URL in your header("Location")

And use a capital "L" in Location, as well, to be totally kosher, I
think.

It won't be 1, since the http:// is in there, and even if it wasn't,
it would be 0, not 1, because PHP uses 0-based strings..

mkdir is atomic, so you should be able to use that to create a
semaphore/lock

Just in case something gets wedged, you might check the

Unfortunately,y our hypothesis is incorrect. ZIP files are 'encrypted'
using the password you provide. I was thinking along those lines as well.

Sounds like a creative challenge... this is what makes programmers
problem solvers. You can write the code, you have the knowledge.. and
then you get requirements like this one. How annoying!

I found out some interesting information researching your issue. It
seems that encryption by password is actually not built in to ZIP
itself, but was an implementation detail apps like WinZip added to the
mix. Because of that, the original ZIP libs don't have any notions of
password protection.

It seems like this isn't a language specific issue, either.

I think it's time to get creative, Petros. You're in a bind, and I
assume you need to get this done, so you have the following options (in
the order I would do it in..)
 -> Turn on exec()
 -> You can use/modify an app I wrote (in python) which accepts UDP
packets and executed commands based off of it. You can strip out the
really insecure things and just accept 'zip' commands. The lib/app is
really small and lightweight. There are no dependencies outside of I
think 3 python modules. If I couldn't turn on exec(), this is the route
I would go.
 -> Use some form of file/directory montoring + zip.
 -> Pass the request on to an environment that has zip()

Works for me.

It's a JPEG.

Does your browser support JPEGs?

Perhaps you are using IE and it's ignoring the proper headers and
trying to "guess" what kind of file that image is based on the URL,
which is what IE tends to do...

Yes. And Excel seems to prefer .txt for tab delimited. However, .txt is
usually opened by Notepad by default, so you have to right-click and tell it
to Open With... Excel. When I do this, it reads it as columnar data rather
than a single column.

I would recommend not trying to colorize the text in the file, but
rather to colorize it upon display...

echo "$talkR;\n";

Re: [PHP] Sending XML to MSIE7

[Richard Lynch]

If IE does anything other than a file download with
application/octet-stream, it's very broken indeed...

Does your URL end in .xml?

Often IE "assumes" the Content-type is not correct, and runs with the
idea that the end of the URL in 8.3 notation is what the file REALLY
is.

I need to spend some time looking at *exactly* what is happening in
various scenarios from the sound of things.

My data source used to supply comma separated files which open just
fine in Excel (and still do) but they have recently changed to tab
delimited. These open fine in Excel but if you go to save the file it
auto-selects .txt !! I'm currently opening the tab delimited files in
Excel and doing a Save As to save as CSV. Excel then handles the file
OK and my app likes it when imported (using fgetcsv with , delimiter).
As I type I'm thinking I should make my import script a bit more
"intelligent" and check for ',' or '\t' in the incoming file and
proceed accordingly... My biggest gripe with tab delimited files is
that they are quite a bit bigger than comma delimited files so I may
have to split the large files I receive into smaller 'chunks' to allow
them to be uploaded.

One thing I have noticed is that the files I create in my PHP script
(The script breaks a large file into smaller files of 25,000
records/rows each.) when opened in Excel (by double-clicking the file
in Windows Explorer) came up with an unrecognised file format message
for all files except the first. If you ignore this message the tab
delimited files open OK but the comma separated ones do not. The
"except the first" made me think that there may be something "hidden"
at the beginning of the file to say what type of data follows.

I can probably code around the problem but I'd rather not have to but
from the sound of things I'd need to get M$ to change

Why would tab-delimited files be larger than CSV? A tab character takes up
just as much space as a comma as far as document size is concerned. Am I
missing something?

Funny enough, even in the comments someone states 'this breaks for
complex file-ending like .tar.gz'

Considering file names don't mean much, it would be OK (imo) to use
basename for standard operations. If you're working/looking for the
exact type, it's time to use MIME as it is more reliable than something
like a filename.

Good luck.

Ah, yes. That would also explain why Excel would open it as a single column
by default if he didn't use the text import wizard.

FWIW - If you do open a text file like this, there is a menu item to convert
text to columnar data once the sheet is already open so you don't have to
close the document and reopen it.

He's probably confusing tab delimited with fixed width columns.

AFAIK you must use javascript.  The two scenarios I see are:

1. Your form uses target=_blank" to open the PDF and there is some
onsubmit javascript that updates your form.
2. Your form updates itself when submitted and there is some onsubmit
javascript to open the PDF in a new window.

What platform are you testing on?

You got it to work under Linux but not on Windows? Am I understanding
that properly?

For windows, I read you should be using a tool called PkZIP.

and stuff and start slobbering. Which in turn, shorts out our 
keyboards and we start typing all sorts of funny stuff. So, just 
don't do it.


It was bad enough that you used the variable named $extension and 
then asked what came before it, which is more a prefix type question 
-- see how confusing asking a simple question can become. So, just 
don't do it -- or did I already say that?


Cheers,

tedd (wiping off keyboard)

You are no longer running the script once the output has been sent to

I'm testing on FreeBSD. I can use any command through system(), but the zip

Regardless, a tar.gz file if it is gzipped is a gzip file.  You must
gunzip it to get the tar, just like manifesto.ps.tar is still a tar that
just happens to contain postscript files ;-)

[PHP] problem with stream_select and signals

[Marcos Lois Bermúdez]

There is any form of detect signal interrupting the stream_select call, 
some times a signal is not a error and there is other change to get the 
result, so if *_select tell me if its interruptded by signal.


in socket_select i can determine if a signal interrupted the 
socket_select, but streams don't have this facility.


so there is any form of detecting this?

socket_last_error() is not aceptable that this module are no avaliable 
by default in 5.3.0 and abovem and of course only applicable to sockets.

Huh, what?!?! to both of you:


Hello
myMethod();

class myClass
{
function myMethod()
{
echo " world!";
}
}
?>

Outputs the expected.  Must be an error, maybe fatal or parse before the
method call or maybe your method does execute you just are expecting
something different?

Yes, Shawn, you're correct.  Ports are (on BSD and MacOS) for
automated installations like DEBs and RPMs on other systems.

According to Google:
http://www.google.com/search?q=php%3A+exec+zip+error+127&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
 

Using terms "php: exec zip error 127"

Try passthru and see what you get.

Have you done any looking for the error codes in the documentation?

Nope not fixed width, definitely tab delimited (longer fields
'overlap' ones above and below when viewed in a text editor), as for
the size difference I don't know why but when I open into Excel and
save as CSV the files are smaller.

I just opened a 50.2KB tab delimited file into Excel saved it as CSV
and this new file is 25KB!!

Maybe I really am finally going mad.

Show us some code. Chances are that you're blatting over the

Actually, I don't know anything about FreeBSD. I never used this system.
But, here my zip command works fine at command line, why doesn't works with
PHP?

Have you talked with your server admins about the use of zip?  Sounds like you 
have an environment set up by a blind monkey.

Are you sure the command is actually working from the command line?
What is the command and output?

But I'm guessing he'd think it was cool.  Also, he's not root so I
assume that pkg_add won't work either.  The ftp error may be misleading,

Is "here" the server or your local machine? If zip works fine on the 
command line on the server then it's installed and should work fine from 
PHP assuming the web user has permission to do it.


You need to use the full path to the zip exe (usually /usr/local/bin/zip 
on FreeBSD), and full paths to any other file references just to be sure.


Make sure you're using a function that's gives you the full output and 
not just the last line. I tend to use backticks for this. It would also 
help to add 2>&1 to the end of the command so you get output to stderr 
as well as stdout.


Finally, if it's still not working might I suggest you share your code. 
The problem may be more obvious if we have that.

I can only think of two things that might cause that sort of "bloat" in a
file. Either the original had a lot of values quoted as strings that Excel
felt did not need to be (Excel usually only quotes strings if they have
commas in them whereas I've seen CSV files from an Oracle DB where every
field was quoted) or else the original was in a multi-byte character
encoding like UTF-16 and Excel trimmed it down to Windows-1252 or something
when you save it. Beyond that, I can't see any reason why the files would
vary that much. I can see a small difference with differing line endings (CR
LF versus just LF) in a file with several short lines, but Excel would even
tend toward the longer line endings.

I've tried without success...

system("/usr/local/bin/zip -P 
/.automount/ipojuca/export/homeg03/golapa/public_html/mapdenguepe128/site/php/biblioteca/t.zip
/.automount/ipojuca/export/homeg03/golapa/public_html/mapdenguepe128/site/php/biblioteca/biblioteca.php",$ret_val);
