[PHP] HTTP || FTP Upload? Wich one?

[Evan]

Hi to all!
I'm working at a simple script that let me upload files in a Intranet.
The problem is that these files are videos, so really big (in the order of
Gbytes).
I think that HTTP upload doesn't fit to solve this problem so I thought
about FTP.
Can you tell me what do you think about this?
What are the maxsizes given for HTTP and FTP in the RFC (don't care about
php.ini)?
HTTP maxfilesize == 2Gb is it correct?
Do you think is better developing a simple application with C++Builder?

Thanks for your attention,
Evan

[PHP] Strange problem with objects

[Evan]

Hey all,

I'm having a strange problem with objects that I'm hoping someone out there can 
help me track down. I'll give a run down of the setup here, please note that 
register_globals is off.

A page creates two objects.

$document - this is always a new object and uses the ob_ functions to control 
the output. ob_start is called with a customer callback that writes the output 
to a file based on $_SERVER variables.

$session - this is an object that gets serialized whenever a request finishes 
and unserialized when the request begins.

Each object uses register_shutdown_function(array($this, "desconstructor")) to 
set a hook to clean up after itself which works without problems.

The following is then set.
$document->session =& $session;
$session->document =& $document;

Everything works fine through out the page all properties of the session can be 
accessed and set via $session->whatever or $document->session->whatever and vice 
versa for the $document object.

The problem arises when the $document->deconstructor function is called. As 
described above the ob_ callback fires and properly writes the captured output 
to a file then calls ob_end_clean() to dump the buffer and returns nothing, then 
right after the deconstructor function is called which does the following:
include("a header file.php");
include("the temp file from ob_");
include("a footer file.php");
unlink("the temp file from ob_");

Now this works beautifully, except that some of the object properties get 
destoryed. For instance since the includes are called from 
$document->deconstructor it makes sense that $this should reference the document 
object and that $this->session should reference the session object, but the 
following happens. In the file I have this:

$this is a 
$tihs->session is a session)?>

Which returns:

$this is a rj_document
$this->session is a


Now I thought that it might be because the session object is destroyed before 
the document object fires its deconstructor call so when the objects are 
associated I changed the document line to be:
$document->session = $session
But I get the same results.


Anyone have any insight?


Thanks,
Evan

[Evan]

Never mind, I just found and exceptable work around.
$GLOBALS["session"] & $GLOBALS["document"] contain the objects.

(and after all that typing :)

[PHP] php.exe from command line

[Evan]

I've made a simple php file that creates a file named 'agent_1.txt' where
the number is taken from $_GET["num"].

I've tried to run it in this way:
http://localhost/agent.php?num=1
And it works perfectly

I thought that from from command line it would work so i tried this (WinXP +
PHP 4.1.2):

c:\php\php.exe c:\Inetpub\webpub\PHP\agent.php?num=1

BUT IT DOESN'T WORK! ?

Can someone help, please?

Re: [PHP] php.exe from command line

[Evan]

I didn't thought about this, but it's logic (as always).

However I solved my problem:
I've developed a really simple program with C++Builder6 (only ~15 lines of
code :-P) that every X seconds calls the php file (agent.php).
And finally it works!

Thanks for your help,
Evan

Simple.  Parameters of the type you described, with the ?, = and &, etc. are
specific to URLs and are handled by CGI, common gateway interface, i.e. the
web server.  See the PHP documentation on $argc[] and $argv[] if you want to
pass parameters on the command line.

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php

Your question mark directly after the file name is confusing DOS.
Parameters on the DOS command line need to be separated from the file name
by a space.

Essentially, $argc is your argument count and $argv is an array of the
values of the arguments.

You won't be able to use $_GET when working with variables from the command
line.  It wouldn't be wise to design one script that works from either the
command line or the web browser, plus it would be a major pain in the ass.

Luck,
Colin Teubner

[PHP] debugger

[Evan]

Hi to all!!!
Can anyone tell me how to debug in PHP?
When I use ASP simply I write "stop" (VB) or "debugger" (JSCRIPT) to set a
breakpoint and open the Microsoft Script Debugger.
With PHP I can't find a way to do a similar thing.
I downloaded the DBG PHP debugger but I don't understand how to use it like
MSD.
My config is:
PHP 4.1.2 + IIS5 + WinXPpro

I'm bored to use echo "$something" for debug :-(

Thanks in advance for your help,
Evan

[PHP] Re: debugger

[Evan]

I need PHP because I made a site for my course at university and they use
only Linux so I learned PHP.
>> Seems that you´re lucky with M$ and their ek$pen$ive environments.
Zend Studio 2.0 ==> 195$
NusPhere ==> 299$

I used PHP Edit but if I need to test a script that get values from POST or
GET parameters I need first to recreate them within the IDE.

Does exists something to debug PHP within the browser, just like M$ Script
Debugger?
DBG listen some port and some host but I didn't found instructions that
explain to use it.

Thanks again,

I´m not shure, but ZEND offers some kind of IDE and nusphere has an IDE
which has a debugger built in , but who needs this??
Use an editor with macro functionality so u can set a macro which makes
something like if($debug){ echo something}, then you can set one var
to turn debugging on/off.
Are you shure you need PHP for your problems? Seems that you´re lucky
with M$ and their ek$pen$ive environments.

[PHP] GET question

[Evan]

Hi to all.

I pass parameters via querystring in this way:
page.php?ID=5&ID=6&ID=23

In $_GET["ID"] I get only the value 23 
I am surprised 'cause in ASP I get 5,6,23.

Is there a way to make things working to have a sequence of values separated
by commas?
Am I doing something wrong in PHP?

Thanks for your help,

[PHP] Re: GET question

[Evan]

Thanks to all for your kind attention.
What I need is exactly what Miguel Cruz wrote.
What I wanted to do was a multidelete, eg:
I show the content of a table in a php page and near every row I put a
checkbox binding its checked value with ID column.
When I submit a form I send the form vars to the script that deletes the
rows checked from the DB.
Till now I used the escamotage described by David Freeman with this variant:
ID_N (where N is integer).
Then I split("_", "ID_N"), got the second elemnt of the array and then build
the string "ID=5 OR ID=6 ..."
But I didn't like it, it seemed not very "elegant" to me.

By the way does someone know where can I find some technical information on
how GET or POST parameters are passed (HTTP specs?) and handled by various
scripting languages (APIs?) ?

[PHP] imagecopy() no errors, but does nothing :-(

What I'm planning to do is to add the logo of the site over every image

Here is the code after upload:

  $dst_im = @ImageCreateFromJPEG ("../".$pathImg.$NomeFile);
  $src_im = @ImageCreateFromJPEG ("../imgsite/logo.jpg");
  $dst_size = GetImageSize("../".$pathImg.$NomeFile);//800x600
  $src_size = GetImageSize("../imgsite/logo.jpg");//50x50
  ImageCopy( $dst_im, $src_im, 150, 150, 0, 0, 50, 50);

I don't get errors but it happens nothing to the original img ($dst_im).
The image logo.jpg is 50x50 and the $dst_img is 800x600.

Here is how i fixed the problem:

  $dst_im = @ImageCreateFromJPEG("../".$pathImg.$NomeFile);
  $src_im = @ImageCreateFromPNG("../imgsite/logoxmail.png");
  $dst_size = GetImageSize("../".$pathImg.$NomeFile);
  $src_size = GetImageSize("../imgsite/logoxmail.png");
  ImageCopy( $dst_im, $src_im, 0, $dst_size[1] - $src_size[1], 0, 0,
$src_size[0], $src_size[1]);
//***this makes the difference!
  ImageJPEG($dst_im,"../".$pathImg.$NomeFile);
  ImageDestroy($dst_im);

But now I have another question:
how to mantain the transparency of the png (src_im)?

[PHP] GD + modify image

[Evan]

Hi to all!!!
1) phpinfo() return: GD version 1.6.2 or higher
What does this mean exactly? What's the correct  version of my GD?

2) I made a script that upload an image and paste the site logo in the
bottom-left corner.
The problem is that I get the error:
" gd-png warning: alpha channel not supported "
The img logo is a PNG32 with transparent background.
Someone told me that I need GD 2.x.x (to work in truecolor) but is it
possible to make it working with my version of GD?

Here is the script:
  //Adding logo
  $logo = "filigrana.png";
  $dst_im = @ImageCreateFromJPEG("../".$pathImg.$NomeFile);
  $src_im = @ImageCreateFromPNG($logo);
  $dst_size = GetImageSize("../".$pathImg.$NomeFile);
  $src_size = GetImageSize($logo);
  ImageCopy( $dst_im, $src_im, 0, $dst_size[1] - $src_size[1], 0, 0,

[PHP] Re: SMARTCARDS - PHP + MySQL

[Evan]

If you know Italian check this:
http://aladdin.it.net/
To tell the truth the company that developed the software if in south africa
(not sure).

Simply, it makes your cell phone became a smartcard:
if you try calling the number showed in the next page you'll see the state
of the text changing in "receiving the calling" and after a while "logon in
progress" and at the end you'll be prompted in your personal web page (in
this case a banking system).
So you don't need a smartcard, you simply use yours cell phone smartcard.
I don't know if calling from abroad the demo still works if you try tell
me, please

If this solution doesn't meet your reurements try to have a look at
JavaCards from http://java.sun.com/products/javacard/
Maybe the "write once run anywhere" statement would really help you
(regarding windows clients /linux servers )

Re: [PHP] [Session]

[Evan]

I have PHP 4.1.2 (the latest, I downloaded it a week ago).
The manual says that:
*
If track_vars is enabled and register_globals is disabled, only members of
the global associative array $HTTP_SESSION_VARS can be registered as session
variables. The restored session variables will only be available in the
array $HTTP_SESSION_VARS.
*

I won't use $_SESSION cause it seems that is a bit buggy have a search
with google->user group "$_SESSION".

Anyway thanks for your interest,
Evan

[PHP] ignoring client supplied session data

[Evan Nemerson]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I'm setting up a site using sessions right now, and I was just wondering if 
there is a way to ignore anything from the client side- I want them to POST a 
username and password, from there all data should be handled on the server.

I'm already using the query string to avoid cookies, but I want to make sure 
that if the user _does_ have cookies on, any change in the data will be 
ignored by the server. Any suggestions?

Basically, I think it would be a lot more efficient for me to set a 
_SESSION['logged_in'] variable once than query the database for every page, 
but I don't know if it would be secure or not- I don't want someone setting 
the logged_in variable in their cookie, then getting full access to the 
site...


Thanks,
Evan

I was thinking about doing that, but I was hoping to avoid superfluous 
database queries. It is my fallback method, but i _really_ want to use

I'm not worried about them using the query string for malicious purposes- I 
have register_globals off... I'm worried about someone messing with their 
cookie and sedding authorized to true- that _will_ change my $_SESSION 
variable, unless I can find some way to ignore cookies, which brings us back 
to my original question- how do i ignore all client input, _especially_ 
cookies???

Are you trying to attach an additional results.csv, or are you trying to name

If you're trying to name the output, changing 

Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="results.csv"
to
Content-Disposition: inline;filename="results.csv"

If that doesn't work, peruse RFC 2183.

[PHP] SQL: INSERT using subqueries

[Evan Nemerson]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

First off, sorry it's a SQL question not PHP, but I don't subscribe to 
mysql-general (or whatever it's called), and I have a feeling someone on this 
list will be able to help...

Anyways, my question is rather simple- how do I do an INSERT using a subquery? 
I want something like this- only one that works:

INSERT INTO myTable
SET owner=(SELECT id FROM users WHERE username='myUsername');

Actually, I want to set a few more fields too, but not using subqueries. I 
would prefer the ..() VALUES ()... syntax, but I converted to this when I 
suspected that was the problem- it wasn't.

I realize that I _could_ get put the id into a PHP variable, then make another 
query from that (which is what I'll be doing until i get a response ;)), but 
I'd prefer not to.

Any help would be much appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Ohhh you're close. A little tweak, and it works. Here's what I came up with:

INSERT INTO myTable
   (owner, name)
   SELECT id as "owner", 'myName' as "name"
   FROM users where username='myUserName';

I think if you omit the (owner, name), it thinks you want to fill the whole 
table, so by doing it this way you can specify only what you want to change.

Thanks for your help, Ernest!

Re: [PHP] Re: Mass Mailing

[Evan Nemerson]

Q
If it delivers when possible, won't the server flake if it get's 100,000
emails inject into Qmail? If I was to use your class and loop through
100,000 emails into Qmail, will Qmail attempt all at once?

A
The answer was right above the question... "With qmail you do not have to run 
the queue like sendmail. You just inject the messages and it will deliver 
them when possible." It will build up a queue of everything it needs to send, 
then send them one at a time (or ten, or a hundred- you can configure 
that...) until it's done. It will never DoS itself by trying to send 10K 
eMails at once. Think of the queue as a long line. Mail waits its turn, then 
gets attention when it reaches the front of the line.


Q
BTW, isn't there any overhead associating with opening/closing a connection
to inject each email into Qmail? Or it's very minimal overhead to even worry
about? If 100,000 was looped and injected into Qmail, is Qmail fast enough
that 100,000 emails are not just sitting on the server filling up disk
space?

A
It's more than worth the overhead to use qmail. Basically, qmail does all the 
hard work for you. First of all, it sends multiple messages at once (default 
is 20, but it's configurable), so you're connection is never idle waiting for 
that SYN|ACK, DNS query, SMTP acknowledgement, etc.  Now theoretically 
_could_ do this with PHP (pcntl), but why re-invent the MTA? It probably 
wouldn't be nearly as efficient, and it would take an eternity to develope a 
script that even approaches qmail's functionality.


Now, with regards to a MLM (mailing list manager), you may want to take a look 
at ezmlm. You can find it (and qmail) at http://cr.yp.to/ It doesn't just 
delete addresses from the database automatically, but first sends a little 
probe eMail, threatening to delete the address if the probe bounces. It's a 
pretty cool feature, since it prevents good addresses from being dropped for 
stupid reasons. For instance, I get them sometimes (securityfocus runs ezmlm 
on bugtraq and vuln-dev, prolly their others too, and vulnwatch/vulndev both 
use it) when mail bounces due to MIME types that can be naughty (exe, vbs, 
com, eml, hehe .fon, .ttf, .otf soon?), or when someone uses profanity, or 
even if the DNS was temporarily down. Now personally i don't care about 
profanity or naughty MIME types, but lots of ISPs (like mine) filter them. 
Just something to think about.

Re: [PHP] htpasswd

[Evan Nemerson]

Don't chmod .htpasswd- _huge_ security risk... Will your server allow you to 
have suid scripts??? If so, you can just write a little wrapper and make it 
suid. If you do that, I'd also reccomend using an extension other than PHP, 
and/or placing it outside your web root. Wouldn't want people adding 
themselves...

I'd reccomend not using .htaccess at all, and just whip up a system using a 
real database, wth the real work done in PHP. htaccess just isn't designed to 
be dynamic.

The greatest mistake is to imagine that the human being is an autonomous 
individual. The secret freedom which you can supposedly enjoy under a 
despotic government is nonsense, because your thoughts are never entirely 
your own. Philosophers, writers, artists, even scientists, not only need 
encouragement and an audience, they need constant stimulation from other 
people. It is almost impossible to think without talking. If Defoe had really 
lived on a desert island, he could not have written Robinson Crusoe, nor 
would he have wanted to. Take away freedom of speech, and the creative 
faculties dry up.

Re: [PHP] The stupidest question of the month.

[Evan Nemerson]

Since you don't need to put up a server, you can just use fsockopen. If I 
recall correctly, passing the timeout argument as 0 means no timeout... If 
you use the cli version of php, you can just enter `php -q myscript.php &` on 
the command line (doubt this works w/ m$...). The ampersand tells the os to 
run the process in the background. If feof($connection) is true, just 
fsockopen a new connection.

Odds are, however, that the ISP doesn't have the cli version... If not, check 
to see if pcntl was enabled (if so, php.net/pcntl_fork). Your biggest problem 
will prolly be the ISP's max execution time (which you will probably not be 
able to change)

It is entirely possible that, since you don't really control the box, you 
won't be able to do this via php. You may have to resort to C. If so, my 
advice would be (a) hire someone else to write the program, or (b) buy a 
beginning C book, and get very very cozy with google, and the `man` and 
`info` commands. BSD socket interface is a PITA, but IMHO not as bad as 
winsock... the PHP socket functions are basically the BSD socket interface, 
so learn them first (easier, and it'll help a lot trying to decipher the C 
version)

Re: [PHP] Unable to configure PHP5 on Linux

Ya- you have to have libxml2-devel installed. Possibly

but check your distro cd first. Or you could rpm -e libxml2-2.5.1-1, get a 
tarball, and compile it yourself

Re: [PHP] foreach help

Well you could do

foreach ( $_POST as $var )
${$var} = ( isset($_POST[$var]) ? 1 : 0);

but that's really sloppy. If possible, I'd go more for something like

$vars = Array(
'noPlatform',
'littlePlatform',
'lotsaPlatform',
'yoMommasaPlatform');

foreach ( $vars as $v ) {
${$v} = ( isset($_POST[$v]) ? 1 : 0 );
}

Re: [PHP] splitting content into pages

[Evan Nemerson]

Is there a reason this can't be solved with a CSS background-repeat: repeat-y; 
? Or is download time of individual pages an issue?

This is really a client-side issue. The math is going to vary depending on 
each user's settings- which font is used, the size of the font, random 
browser stupidity, etc. Even if you try to specify such things, you'll have 
issues. If you try to use a specific font, what if the user doesn't have it? 
What if they have vision problems and have ordered fonts to be larger than 
usual? IMHO it would be better to just use CSS and put everything on the same 
page

Re: [PHP] splitting content into pages

[Evan Nemerson]

Excellent point. A compromise, then?

How about using the background-repeat: repeat-y; and not trying to do any 
math. Just decide how long the content should be, and wrap the page at the 
next sentence. That way, you make the end users happy, but don't risk an ugly 
page. For 150 characters, (untested)


background-repeat: repeat-y;




Next page";
?>

[PHP] callback function in class

[Evan Nemerson]

Basic problem:

I need to use preg_replace_callback, and would like the callback parameter to 
be a function in a class (the same as that which contains the call to 
preg_replace_callback). "classname::function" doesn't seem to work... Anyone 
have any ideas?

If it helps:

I'm creating a class which will basically parse an enhanced version of phbb2's 
bbcode, and output it to XHTML, PDF, etc. If someone puts [size=small] (I 
won't be using integers like bbcode does), I need to make sure "small" is a 
valid word (rejects [size=foo], [size=bar], but [size=large] is okay)

Re: [PHP] callback function in class

[Evan Nemerson]

Never mind. I can create an anonymous function w/ create_function(), and use 
that as the callback. It's not pretty, but it works.

Sorry about wasting everyone's time w/ a brain fart.

Re: [PHP] GPL question

[Evan Nemerson]

Smarty is LGPL, not GPL. The LGPL allows linking. So no.

PEAR packages typically use the PHP license, but some do use GPL. If you link 
to a GPL'd package, you must GPL your package. Otherwise, no.

So unless you link to a GPL'd PEAR package, the answer is no.

can you do a rawurlencode() on the data before you put it in the DB, and a

Re: [PHP] character set problem

rawurlencode was originally intended for URLs, but all it does is encode 
certian characters- it can be used for anything, and if the percentage of 
characters is low enough, the returned string is smaller than that which is 
returned by base64_encode, bin2hex, etc.

That said, it sounds like the problem is not in php itself, but maybe your 
php_mssql.dll or freetds. Make sure you have the latest version of both. See 
what versions were working for you- maybe something got broken in a newer 
release of one of those.

Not true- $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] doesn't rely on anything sent by the 
browser. Load up a phpinfo() on your server, then request it by hand...

echo -e "GET /phpinfo.php HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" | nc www.yourserver.com 80

You'll see it has your IP address even though you never supplied it. It's 
pointless to send IP protocol data over HTTP. $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is 
always there, although you are right about not always being able to trust it.

RE: [PHP] Variables don't pass... *sniff*

[Evan Nemerson]

Deprecated means that it has fallen out of favor, and is
_in_the_process_of_being_phased_out_ You should not rely on this code in
new applications. Go look it up in a dictionary.

If you have to be backward compatible with < 4.1.0 (which was released
on 10-Dec-2001!) I suggest something like this:

=')) ?
$_GET[$v] : $HTTP_GET_VARS[$v];
}

get('desired_var');
echo $desired_var;

?>

However, I don't think it's at all unreasonable to request that they use
a version of PHP less than 2 years old (i think 4.0.6, the last version
before 4.1.0, was released 27-Jun-2001). At that point, I would be more
concerned with compatibility with _future_ releases than 'absolute
compatibility' with past releases.

GnuPG doesn't use stdin to read the password, which is where you're

Try piping to your command- that won't work either

Re: [PHP] Decrypting data with GnuPG

[Evan Nemerson]

Are you appending a newline to your passphrase?

$passphrase = "my gnupg passphrase\n";

Re: [PHP] random

[Evan Nemerson]

"limiter" is the maximum number of limbs, not the max random number. A limb, 
according to the GMP documentation, is " the part of a multi-precision number 
that fits in a single word. (We chose this word because a limb of the human 
body is analogous to a digit, only larger, and containing several digits.) 
Normally a limb contains 32 or 64 bits."

There's a comment on php.net/gmp_random about this

Re: [PHP] Function result is an array

[Evan Nemerson]

IMHO the function()[] syntax should be allowed, but it isn't.

You could use list() or extract(), but then you'd wind up with a lot more date 
than you want. What I've been doing is creating a function, then calling when 
needed. For example:

function array_get_value($array, $index) {
return $array[$index];
}

array_get_value(getdate($timestamp), 'year');

If you'd like to fill out a bug report (use 'feature request' for the type of 
bug), http://bugs.php.net/

Re: [PHP] Using Cookies Securely

[Evan Nemerson]

Send a session ID to the user in a cookie, then lookup that ID in a database 
on the server. It's extremely difficult to guess random session ID's (don't 
just increment them!), and if you have a session timeout, you're pretty much 
set.

It's not perfect, but I don't think anyone has come up with a better way

The way it's been explained to me, this is how PHP's sessions work, but I have 
not personally verified this. So I think it's okay to put semi-sensitive data 
in the session array (you shouldn't ever store really sensitive data). Check 
first though.

Re: [PHP] Using Cookies Securely

[Evan Nemerson]

Again, "It's not perfect, but I don't think anyone has come up with a better 
way."

It's called session hijacking, and it is a great reason to use SSL. However, 
there's still the issue of cross-site scripting, which can really only be 
prevented by smarter coding.

Even then there are issues. For example, holes in ie's SSL capabilities 
(including a current, unpatched vulnerability- well okay it was patched but 
M$ managed to re-introduce it in more recent patches...), permit undeteted 
MITM attacks.
