[PHP] Socket error connecting to mySQL

RE: [PHP] [SOLVED] Socket error connecting to mySQL
Thank you everyone for your help. The cause of this problem was the user account was set up for localhost rather then the server. What threw me was the /tmp/mysql.sock part of the error when MySQL is installed on a Windows box. I was looking for something wrong in the PHP script or on the Slackware box.

RE: [PHP] empty and isset
Env: Slackware 8.1, Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.3.0
Bugs: None found for these issues.
I am running to this same problem. The isset() function appears to have
problems with the empty text value. The empty() function sees the value
of $_POST['q1'] as expected.
So why is both isset() and empty() returning true on q1?
I included the is_null() to verify that the value is definitely not
null.
Submitting the empty form yields these results:
Value of q1 ==
Value of q1 is NOT NULL
Q1 is empty
q2 is empty
q3 is empty
q4 is empty
Values for q2, q3, and q4 all return as expected.
Source follows:
PHP Test
Text:
Radio:
Checkbox:
PHP Source:
";
}
if (is_null($_POST['q1'])){
print "Value of q1 is null";
} else {
print "Value of q1 is NOT NULL";
}
if (empty($_POST['q1'])){
print "Q1 is empty";
}
if (isset($_POST['q2'])){
print "Value of q2 == ".$_POST['q2']."";
}
if (empty($_POST['q2'])){
print "q2 is empty";
}
if (isset($_POST['q3'])){

But I picked up"PHP and MySQL Web Devlopment" and actually thought it very helpful. By chapter two you're reading and writing files and by page 150 (of and 800+ page book) you're into object oriented programming. It covers most everything you would want to do from creating graphics on the fly, to making a forum and ecommerce. It also has a few chapters on security, which is a very good thing. The one area that did bother me was that only one chapter was dedicated to creating an ecommerce site and one other chapter to ecommerce security issues. Personally, I think ecommerce could have it's own book and shouldn't haven't been included. But I guess if you are experienced in creating ecommerce sites it's good to have an overview of it.

That is called Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). I have not been able to get access to the variables via an XSS exploit.

Create a user with appropriate privledges for the database. DO NOT use

'.$_POST['$telefono'].', '.$_POST['$email'].', '.$_POST['$pais'].',

OR
$nombre = $_POST['$nombre'];
$direccion = $_POST['$direccion'];
$telefono = $_POST['$telefono'];
$email = $_POST['$email'];
$pais = $_POST['$pais'];
$comentario = $_POST['$comentario'];
$sql = "INSERT INTO agenda (nombre, direccion, telefono, email, pais,

If it is ever directly accessed by the client the PHP engine will render
a blank page.
If your ini file is ever accessed by the client it will render the
contents of the ini file.
Wonder if removing rwx would adversly affect includes to this php
file..

Subject: [PHP] Opinion on a method
Hi,
I would like to get some opinions here on a method I'm doing to grab
connect information for a mysql connection.
Currently I am doing: $pinfo = fopen
("/director1/directory2/filename.ini",
"r");
I'm looking for a more secure method of doing this. Is XML a solution?
Is there something else? Are you doing something similar?
All opinions greatly appreciated...

RE: [PHP] Opinion on a method....
In a php file I can just include the connection information and reduce
the overhead that comes with fopen. Still gives me one central spot for
changing connection information as necessary.
There is always more than one way to do it.

Ahh, good thought. I also have it outside the web site
directory tree.

Put the connect info into a php file (i.e. connect.php).
If it is ever directly accessed by the client the PHP engine will render
a blank page. If your ini file is ever accessed by the client it will
render the contents of the ini file.
