[PHP] question about select tag in php
i have two select tags as part of a registration form, city1 city2 where
city1 has a list of regions and similar for city2
there are different regions for city1 and city2 so instead of all the
regions appearing one after the other i would like to create a blank option
followed by the next set of regions for formatting purpose only.
ex=
value="region1">Select region1
value="nameofregion1">nameofregion1
value="0">
value="nameofregion2">nameofregion2
value="1">
value="region2">Select region2
value="nameofregion1">nameofregion1
value="2">
value="nameofregion2">nameofregion2
value="3">
from a php validation perspective if a user does not select any of the
regions or both the regions i am displaying an error message asking them to
either select 1 region from either city1 or city2
as of now there is a blank option being displayed which is working fine, i
am having an issue with the php validation.
until i introduced value=0 my rules for validating the select tag were:
1. user cannot leave both the select tags with the default option which is
"Select region1" & "Select region2"
2. user cannot select both the regions from city1 & city2 select tags
the code of 2. is
if(!($city1 == "region1") && !($city2 == "region2"))
{
$error.="Please select only 1 Region";
}
now by introducing
value="0"> there is a conflict with the above php validation code
used in point 2.
1.
is it correct to use 1,2,3 as part of the following tag or should i
only use 0 everywhere
value="0">
value="1">
2.
how can i get around the conflict that is being created by introducing this
value=0 with
if(!($city1 == "region1") && !($city2 == "region2"))
{
$error.="Please select only 1 Region";
}
as i need the above php code and i also need the blank space for formatting
purpose
please advice.
thanks.
[PHP] restricting filesystem access
Hi, I am a new php user and I have a question, for which I couldn't find any answer. I'd like to restrict php code to access the filesystem. I'd like to have only one directory where the php code can write, create or read files, and an other directory hierarchy where the php codes present. I need this to avoid php code to rewrite other php code in case of bug and/or an attack. I already tried the open_basedir directive, but it couldn't work because in this case the executed php have to be in the accessable directory hierarchy.

[PHP] Problem in a generate password function
Hi,
I have the code of a function to generate a random 10 character long
password following my signature.
To test it i do:
$clearpass = create_pass();
print('Clear: ' . $clearpass);
die();
But the output is only "Clear:"
Why isn't it working ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards,

Re: [PHP] restricting filesystem access
Hi, Thank you for the answer. I am running my site on a shared server, but I can overwrite the options in the php.ini file. Unfortunately php runs as my user, so changing the permissions to 644 doesn't work, php is still able to write anything.

RE: [PHP] question about select tag in php
Code wise your form options are too bulky and you need to look at slimming that
down like below. Not that my example is prefect but easier to control the
option enviroment.
echo "";
for($d=1; $d<=2; $d++)
{
if($city1 == "region$d"){
echo "region$d;
}ELSE{echo "region$d;}
}
echo "";
for($d=1; $d<=3; $d++)
{
if($city1 == "region$d"){
echo "region$d;
}ELSE{echo "region$d;}
}
echo "";
Also I would use some onblur or onsubmit javascript for form validation
submitting and then showing the error is NOT a good way to validate a form.

Are you saying that you want to use one file to allow people to write to your server without allowing them to overwrite other files? Try creating a directory, chmod 777 if needed, and then in your write routing, disallow periods (.), slashes (/), backslashes (\), et cetera. And you may also want to look into escapeshellarg() and escapeshellcmd() depending on your code. You can also chmod the directory and all files within where the PHP files are located to 644, which will disallow writing if Apache isn't running suExec. -- Forensic Services, Senior Unix Engineer 1+ (570-) 362-0283 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The given remote host was not resolved. That's a DNS issue, not a PHP issue. Is this a shared web host, or one for which you have root access? If you have at least shell access without a jail (chroot), try PING'ing the domain from the server and see what happens. It could even be something as simple as a typo in the domain, but most likely it's a DNS resolution problem.

Sounds like you're using literal quotes here, Mary. Single quotes
('like this')take all data between them as literal, while double
quotes ("like this") translate things within.
$a = "Hello!";
$b = "I just wanted to say: $a";
$c = 'I just wanted to say: $a';
$d = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.\n";
$e = 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.\n';
The above will output as follows:
$a: Hello!
$b: I just wanted to say: Hello!
$c: I just wanted to say: $a
$d: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs. (with a newline)
$e: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.\n
You may instead want to use HEREDOC syntax.

[PHP] Reporting mail as spam
Hi, I wrote a little registration routine, which will send a confirmation letter to the user with a random number in the message body (my site is on a host, so I can't write in the subject, and ask the user to reply), which can be clicked then, and my site will finish the registration. My big problem is, that this host inserts an X header to the mail which identifies my PHP script as the X-PHP. As I recognize, this header adds a huge number to the spam score. Is there any possibility, to reduce the other scores? By the way, what counts most in a spam? Thanks, SanTa

mktime "will automatically calculate the correct value for out-of-range input."
The "31st day of February in 2008" is March 2nd, so both dates are in March.

I have a very similar routine, but for the previous line, since you can

$char = $possible[mt_rand(0, strlen($possible)-1)];
In this example, it would save ten function calls, if not more.

Re: [PHP] Date Issue
You need apostrophes (or quotes) around your args to date() in the
parameters...
date('m')
As it stands now, PHP assumes you mean the constant m
(http://php.net/define) and that's not defined, so they are all 0.
So you are passing in 0 to ALL the args.
You also should use E_ALL for your error_reporting so you would SEE
the error messages telling you about this.

That's because you're using today's date('d');, which is 31.
February doesn't have 31 days, nor does April, so mktime() forces
them to the following month to correct the error.

Well, to re-iterate what Andrew said, you're on the 31st day of the month.
Feb 31st translates to March, April 31st translates to May.

Like I said, mktime makes corrections for otherwise invalid dates. Today is March 31. Moving the month number back by one (-1) creates a timestamp for February 31, which gets corrected to become March 2 (March 3 in non-leap years). Moving the month number ahead by one (+1) creates a timestamp for April 31 gets corrected to become May 1.

Thank you again Dan. Thought never crossed my mind the day being the 31st. That
fixed it.

That's because you're using today's date('d');, which is 31.
February doesn't have 31 days, nor does April, so mktime() forces
them to the following month to correct the error.

Just to clarify -- Richard's response fixes a poor coding practice in
your original post, but it does not "fix" the problem that you
originally asked about.

I believe you can also use strtoime()
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
$time = strtotime($inputTime);
$time = strtotime('-1 day', $time);
$outputTime = strftime('%Y-%m%d', $time);
I'm not sure which is more efficient, but it helps when you're looking
for "next thursday" or other things like that.

[PHP] phone number allocation manager
I work for a telephone & internet company. Currently we have a tool that allows us to track the allocation of IP's to customers. What I am looking for is a tool that will allow me to track the allocation of phone numbers to our customers. Building the tool for IP allocation management was pretty easy since the IP world works off a set of rules that govern the allocation of IP's. Unfortunately the phone number world does not have the same rule set. Actually, it has no rules. Has anybody built, heard of, or used a tool like this? Any suggestions would be great.
