[PHP] Re: test for ascii or binary string

[Jonathan Sharp]

Doh, so simple. I guess the correct form of the question would be how do
I determine if a string has just a-zA-Z0-9 in it plus punctuation...

thanks,

RE: [PHP] Passing arguments to the same script

I think you\'d want to use:
if ( $_SERVER[\'QUERY_STRING\'] == \'samples\')
{
// code
}

otherwise if you use , set your links as:

Re: [PHP] Executing a Perl/CGI program from PHP

You're trying to mix two different things. SSI (Server Side Includes) and PHP. 

The page you're calling gets parsed ONLY by PHP. So echoing #exec won't work.

Re: [PHP] Session problem

I believe it's a cookie issue, as when I hard code in an active session:
http://linuxserver.pergelcrm.com/count.php?PHPSESSID=7bf48f99e86e2d3d401c57c4f39dabbc
it counts correctly.

Oops! Try this...
session.cookie_domain=linuxserver.pergelcrm.com
NOT www.cardiologicforum.com

Re: [PHP] how to user

[Jonathan Sharp]

If I remember correctly, you must set the name field with [] to make it 
an array.
Example:


then $foo is an array of the selections.

[PHP] Sessions: Trigger a new one, Expire an old one

[Jonathan Sharp]

"Simple" question. If a users session expires or has timed out, how do I 
'force' php to generate a new sessionId?

I wrote a handler that stores sessions into a mysql table, and am able 
to test if it has expired or not. But how do I get php to start a new one?

Re: [PHP] Sessions: Trigger a new one, Expire an old one

[Jonathan Sharp]

Ok, here is my solution:

I wanted this to be as self contained as possible:

function clean()
{
/* get name of session & find session id */
$name = ini_get('session.name');
$sessid = ( !$_COOKIE[$name] ?
 ( !$_GET[$name] ?
 ( !$_POST[$name] ? false :  $_POST[$name] ) :
 $_GET[$name] ) :
 $_COOKIE[$name] );

/* run query now to see if sesion is expired, if yes */
unset( $_COOKIE[$name] );
unset( $_GET[$name] );
unset( $_POST[$name] );
unset( $_REQUEST[$name] );
}


clean();
session_start();

Since _COOKIE/etc needs to be UNSET before session_start is called and 
re-calling session_start does sqat, the above code (not all of it but 
general idea) 'finds' the session id (session_id() has no effect until 
session_start is called) and tests to see if it's expired, if so, it 
'kills' all possible locations for session_start() to find an id.

*simple*... (or something like that)

Re: [PHP] Sessions: Trigger a new one, Expire an old one

[Jonathan Sharp]

Your example for the cookie session works, but I wanted to keep sessions 
'transparent' and not have to manage sessions.

The code I wrote basically finds the session id wherever it might be, 
checks if it's expired, if so, it then removes all traces of the session 
id to make session_start() think that there is not already a session...

Take an md5 of the entire file contents and store that in your form that

Re: [PHP] Perl -> PHP question

[Jonathan Sharp]

You either need to:
1) Set multiple cookies for each index:
setCookie('session[foo]'...)
setCookie('session[bar]'...)

2) Serialize/unserialize your array.

setCookie('session', serialize($session_array) );

$session = unserialize($_COOKIE['session']);

-js


Tom Woody wrote:

Did a google and archive search but I couldn't find anything related...

I am migrating a bunch of perl CGI apps to PHP.
In one of the perl pages a cookie is set and the value of the cookie is
a perl hash.  I am trying to duplicate that cookie in PHP to make my
life 100 times easier.

In perl:
  use CGI::Cookie;
  $session{value1} = "something";
  $session{value2} = "else";
  CGI::Cookie(-name=>'session',-value=>%session);

In another perl script: 
  use CGI;
  $query = CGI->new();
  %session = $query->cookie(-name=>'session');
  print "value1: $session{value1}\n";
  print "value2: $session{value2}\n";

Output:
value1: something
value2: else

To try and duplicate this in PHP, I first examined the data in the
cookie that was set by perl:
value1&something&value2&else

So when I set the cookie in php I did:
setcookie('session','value1&something&value2&else');

Obviously this doesn't work...
%session just results in a single value of
"value1&something&value2&else" rather than a hash.

I also tried using Associative Arrays as they are the closest to the
Perl Hash that I could find.
$session[value1] = "something";
$session[value2] = "else";
setcookie('session',$session);
The cookie then has the value "Array"
  
Any suggestions...ideally I don't want to have to change anything in
the perl scripts, I just want to retire them as PHP replacements are
completed.  The page that sets the cookie is the first page (obviously)
and so would take the pressure off getting the other pages done in PHP.

Re: [PHP] Form element names starting with the "+" character????

[Jonathan Sharp]

Dan Tappin wrote:

I have a simple method of creating easy form processing I thought

I came up with the idea (I am not claiming to be the first) to have form
elements I want to update via MySQL starting with either "-" or "+".

Example:

+name=DAN
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
-notes=
id=1

The first 2 are required and will be updated, the 3rd is optional and will
be updated and the 4th (id) is simply passed as form data.

The idea here is that I parse the $_POST variable 

This would be a BIG secuirty issue...as the input is 'tainted' until 
otherwise proven safe. If you want to do this approach as you go through 
each POST var, make sure you have a list of valid fields for the table 
and make sure the field you're setting from POST actually IS a field in 
the table.

I see what you're trying to do, I've done something somewhat similar and 
it doesn't require a + or -.

I wrote a db class which builds my queries for me. Example snippit:

/* -- db.conf -- (table definitions) */
dbNewConn('conn', 'user:password@host');
dbNewDb('database', 'conn');
dbNewTable('my_table', 'database.table_name');

/* -- My script.php -- */
$d = array( 'name' => $_POST['name'],
'email' => $_POST['email']);

dbUpdate('my_table', $d, "id='{$_POST['id']}'");


As dbUpdate gets executed, if the connection isn't up, it connects to 
the db server, next if it doesn't have a list of fields for the table it 
lists the fields and 'caches' them during the script execution. And 
finally it builds the query string. The resulting query is:

UPDATE database.table_name SET `name`='The Name', 
`email`='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' WHERE id=1;

It handles all escaping, mysql functions etc. (so I could do: 'name' => 
'PASSWORD('.$_POST['name'].')' and it would be escaped propperly). This 
code is running in a production application and have no had any 
performance problems.

-js


to auto create a "UPDATE
table SET name = 'Dan', email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' WHERE = 1" string for
MySQL.

The issue is that if I use the "+" to indicate a required field for error
trapping my $_POST array ends up like this:

+namD=AN
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
-notes=
id=1

Either this is a PHP / HTTP bug or I am up against some strange post naming
restriction.  I searched the web, the PHP site (includeing the bugs) and
could not spot an obvious reference.

Any ideas out there?

Dan

Re: [PHP] Form element names starting with the "+" character????

I wrote a db class which builds my queries for me. Example snippit:

/* -- My script.php -- */

'email' => $_POST['email']);

dbUpdate('my_table', $d, "id='{$_POST['id']}'");



How do you differentiate between string updates and integer/float
updates? Or do you just put quotes around the numbers, too?


On the 'input' side I use is_numeric() to test if the data is numeric. 
But I haven't considered testing the field type itself. It's easy enough 
to add. This hasn't come up yet in any of our development.


As dbUpdate gets executed, if the connection isn't up, it connects to
the db server, next if it doesn't have a list of fields for the table


it


lists the fields and 'caches' them during the script execution. And
finally it builds the query string. The resulting query is:

UPDATE database.table_name SET `name`='The Name',
`email`='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' WHERE id=1;



Wouldn't the 1 have quotes around it?


Yes it would, that was my typo... it should be id='1' but id I'm going 
to assume is an int auto_increment, so the correct where clause should 
be "id={$_POST['id']}"


It handles all escaping, mysql functions etc. (so I could do: 'name'


=>


'PASSWORD('.$_POST['name'].')' and it would be escaped propperly).


This


code is running in a production application and have no had any
performance problems.



How would you escape that? The contents of the PASSWORD function needs
to be surrounded by quotes (unless you're passing a column).


There's a "private" function which escapes all data and tests for the 
function etc.

In the example data below: "PASSOWRD('O'mallery')" it would do:

1) Determine if it is a function:
Substr up to first '(' and see if the strtoupper of it is in_array() 
which has all of the mysql functions.
2) Since it know's it's a function, it then takes the next char after 
the '(' and if it's either a ' or " it does the next step.
3) Takes first part "PASSWORD(" and then the data portion "O'mallery" 
and replaces quote with \quote in data. (This takes into account if you 
passed the string 'PASSWORD("O'Mallery")' it would not escape the '.) 
Next it rebuilds the string "PASSWORD($DATA)"

Here is the code:
function dbPrepValue($value)
{
global $_DB_;

if ( is_numeric($value) )
{
return $value;
}
else
{
$tmp = strtoupper($value);
if ( 0 < ($t = strpos($tmp, '(') ) )
{
$tmp = substr($tmp, 0, ($t - 1) );
}

if ( in_array( $tmp, $_DB_['mysqlFunc'] ) )
{
$q = substr($tmp, ($t + 1), 1);
if ( $q == "'" || $q == '"' )
{
$func   = substr($value, 0, $t);
$data   = substr($value, ($t + 1), -2);
$value  = "{$func}{$q}" . str_replace($q, "\{$q}", 
$data) . "{$q})";
}

return $value;
}
else
{
return "'{$value}'";
}
}
}

While this code does not take into account EVERY valid query statement, 
for those conditions you can just pass a raw query to dbQuery(). I'll 
post a link to the class sometime this week.

-js


So you'd need

'name' => "PASSWORD('" . $_POST['name'] . "')"

wouldn't you? So if the name is "O'mallery" you'd end up with

'name' => "PASSWORD('O'mallery')"

How do you escape that without also escaping the quotes that delimit the
string?

Re: [PHP] newbie: apache prob...

Check what user apache is running under (usually nobody) in which case

running linux.

Re: [PHP] Session Management

[Jonathan Sharp]

first off: IP addresses are not the way to go about this AT ALL. Even if
they are behind a proxy, they would most likely be running on a private
subnet (say 10.0.0.x) and worse yet, if a company has multiple backbones
(like the one I consult at) traffic could go through one of 3 gateway
routes (different IP's) and thus i'd end up with 1 of three sessions!?
Also i could just go through and guess id's since they're a relatively
"small" set. (Easily scripted to probe for sessions)

Creating a 'jump' page is your best bet to cross domains and pass the
session id in the url, and then set the id for that domain. There should
not be any issues if they use the same session store, etc.

As for the internals of php's sessions, I'll leave someone else to
answer that.

Re: [PHP] Qmail / PHP question

[Jonathan Sharp]

If I remember correctly (it's been a while) the contents gets passed
through STDIN to in this case wget, it'd be better to call the script as:
|/usr/bin/php -q /path/to/script.php

or put:
#!/usr/bin/php at the top of your script and call as:
|/path/to/script.php

and use: (i forget the exact path, but something along these lines)
$fp = fopen('php://stdin', 'r');
to read the email.

Re: [PHP] Trivial newbie regex question

one more thought bout this just for the record... not sure which is
faster, but this may be the better solution:

$index = substr($url, strrpos($url, '/'), strrpos($url, '.')-1);

Pulling this idea from down south, but could you do serialize($_GLOBALS)

[PHP] Serialization of references to objects

[Jonathan Sharp]

How is serialization of references handled? Example:

class foo
{
   var $abc;
   function bar()
   {
  echo $this->abc;
   }
}

$obj = array( &new foo(), &new foo() );
$baz = serialize($obj);

/* ... dancing monkey for entertainment while time passes ... */

$obj = unserialize($baz);


Will references be restored upon unserialization?

Re: [PHP] Protecting Queries

[Jonathan Sharp]

the issue isn't with query, it's with variables used within queries...

example:
$id = $_GET['id'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id=$id";

and if you call this page as (or something like this):
?id='' OR 1=1

You can alter the query

Re: [PHP] templates

[Jonathan Sharp]

I'm assuming you're trying to have a select list.

Try this:


File XML1
File foo


Just make sure you test the value you get for file, so that someone
doesn't pass you /etc/passwd (just an example).

Subject: [PHP] Session File not being deleted


Hi,

I'm using:
SCO Openserver 5.0.5
PHP 4.0.4

I had this problem a little while ago, and didn't find a resolution to it.
I'm using sessions for a current application. The sessions are being created
and used as I want them to be. I have no problems with the way they are
working.

The files in my /tmp directory are never being removed. I've got files in
there from over 4 weeks ago and the list is growing.

I reviewed all the options in the php.ini file. I changed the following two
parameters to be small to see what happens:

session.gc_maxlifetime = 300 ; 300 seconds = 5 minutes
session.cache_expire = 2; 2 minutes

No change after changing the parameters. I even stopped and started my web
server to be sure that they would take effect and also printed out
php_info() to make sure the correct php.ini file is being used.

Any ideas as to what it might be?

Thanks,
Sam

[PHP] Best Way To Control Forms

[Jonathan Sharp]

I have a few sites which contain forms that span multiple screens (all
contained in two scripts though...)

theforms.php

The html for the form.


The html for the form.



forms.php
showScreen1();
break;
case 'saveScreen1':
if($theForms->saveScreen1() != true)
{
$error = "it died!";
$theForms->showScreen1();
break;
}
case 'showScreen2':
$theForms->showScreen2();
break;
}//Switch

?>

so basically I put all the html into functions in a class, and control the
flow of the form with the switch statement, that way if my function that
saves the data comes across an error, it get's trapped and shows that screen
again...

Has anybody else found a more elegant way to accomplish this? It works quite
nice, but I was wondering how other people go about creating their forms.

Thanks,
-Jonathan

RE: [PHP]

[Jonathan Sharp]

well...i just finished some code for dealing with an option box that has all
the states listed...


Select State
'.$ST[$i]."\n";
}//For
?>


First it creates an array $ST that contains a list of all the states
(includes PR and DC)
Next it loops through that array and if $state has the same value as the
state, it selects it...

You could probably turn this into a function or something...

RE: [PHP] executables (.exe)

[Jonathan Sharp]

If you're on windows, (which i'm assuming you are) you can call the PHP
binary with the path to your php script...

so (assuming you have C:\php\bin\ as part of your PATH enviromental
variables for windows) you could do PHP C:\path\to\php-script.php and it
will run on the command line...or just give the full path to the php.exe
file...

C:\php\bin\php.exe C:\path\to\php-script.php

RE: [PHP] connection id

[Jonathan Sharp]

TIA,
What you described is not possible. When you create that connection to the
mysql server, that connection dies when the script ends...

As far as persistent connections go, you will always call the code to create
the connection, but that connection lives on in that apache child process
until that child process dies.

So for example, apache spawns a child process to handle a request and it
executes your PHP script with the persistent connection code
(mysql_pconnect) and then after you script exits, that child process keeps
the conection to mysql open. Any PHP script afterwards that uses the same
connection information (host, username, password) with the mysql_pconnect()
call; apache checks for an existing persistent connection (that was created
with the first PHP script execution) so it returns that connection id. If
you use the standard mysql_connect call the apache child will drop the
connection when the script ends.

Cheers,

RE: [PHP] Array of words in textfile?

If you're splitting by a defined pattern (such as a space " ") explode is
quite a bit faster...and i believe that if you need reg exps. you can use
split() (which will take a regex as the pattern)...

Re: [PHP] Problem starting session

[Jonathan Sharp]

Check your php.ini file, you should set the temp dir setting to semething
like C:\tmp and make sure that C:\tmp exists and that whatever user your
site is running as in IIS is set to have read/write access...

/tmp\sess is for unix...it's not a valid path (/tmp is what is
defined as the temp dir in php.ini)

RE: [PHP] NT5 Sub Domains

[Jonathan Sharp]

Ah...yes you can. You're probably scared of apache because it doesn't have a
GUI! But don't fret I was in the same boat not too long ago!

1) Download the lastest version of apache (www.apache.org you were close...)
2) Install apache (it does have an installation program)
3) Configuring apache
To configure apache you need to edit the httpd.conf file (I suggest you
create a backfirst!) it's pretty self explanatory, there's lots of
documentation for it. You can run both IIS and Apache as long as they're not
running on the same ports (eg :80, so either disable the web server for IIS
on port 80 (or change it to something like 64892) or make apache run on some
other port (you set this in httpd.conf under the Port option)) So after
you've setup your httpd.conf file, you'll start apache from the command line
(you may scream now if you'd like...this is where MS is...MS...) you run the
apache deamon with a command like C:\path\to\apache.exe start
C:\path\to\httpd.conf It's something similar to that, the command prompt
window will stay open and you won't be able to do anything in that window,
so to shut down apache, open a new window and do the C:\path\to\apache.exe
stop (I haven't done this on NT in a while so those commands are probably
wrong but it should be the right direction)
4) To setup subdomains (this is the good part)
If you want to actually setup domain.com to develop on locally and the site
isn't "online" you can add an entry to your hosts file (somewhere in
C:\WINNT\) and entry like "127.0.0.1 domain.com" (or you could create a
bogus TLD like domain.dev) and that will redirect all requests for
domain.xxx to your local apache server (assuming you've set Bind to * in the
httpd.conf file to listen to all IPs) For the actual subdomains you'd set
these in the httpd.conf file under VirtualDirectories (you can either do
Name based subdomains (one IP bound to NIC & multiple domains) or IP based
subdomains (multiple IPs bound to NIC & multiple domain names) Check the
apache.org documentation on how to set them up. It's not too terribly
complex...

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1

ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ServerName subdomain.domain.com
DocumentRoot C:\path\to\your\website


Just be careful though...once you start using apache and such you'll be on
linux in no time...I have three dev servers now & two live servers...NT is
my desktop only because I use homesite to dev with and a few other winx
progs. Also if anyof you out there know a good colorcoding *nix developer
app (for PHP of couse) please let me know!

If you get stuck on anything, just holler... (i'm usually on EFNet in PHP as
codeboy)

Hm, well 8080 is fine, I'm not sure why IIS won't start...but MS probably is
freaking out that opensource is actually taking over it's domain (no pun
intended) =)

> I set Bind to *
That's good, whatever IPs that are config'd on your box apache will bind to
on 8080

Yes you can set ServerName to domain.dev or whatever.foo the reason that
you'll add the entry to your HOSTS file is because most likely you're not
running a DNS server to authentically map that domain to your IP. Windows
looks at HOSTS before it goes to a DNS so that way you can map that domain
to your local host without having to mess with dns or anything and simulate
a production environment (that HOSTS file is quite intersting, try the entry
"216.136.171.205 microsoft.com" and then visit microsoft.com, you'll be
surprised... =) (NOTE TO VIRUS CREATORS: That would be an interesting
hack...to add an entry to the hosts file that does that mapping...oh...that
would get the big BG mad...)

After you've been doing this for a little while, you'll have to get an old
box (like P200 or something) to stick linux on and have that be your dev
server...your EYES will be opened...trust me, the MS empire won't always be
as vast as it is, TUX is alive and moving!)

RE: [PHP] Invoke PHP script from onLoad handler?

[Jonathan Sharp]

I wrote a browser based application (yes it is an application!) (but I can't
let you see it cause it's propriatary technology) but the client side was
javascript and I had PHP save the data and read data...

I won't go into detail, but basically I had PHP print JavaScript, and then
have a variable in the main window that the child window would save the new
data to...

for example, have the javascript (which PHP generates) be something like

var DATAARY = new Array();
DATAARY[0] = 'Some data';
DATAARY[1] = 'Some data';
DATAARY[2] = 'Some data';
DATAARY[3] = 'Some data';
window.parent.document.MAINDATAARY = DATAARY;

It was something to that extent, it works quite nicely, and it definetly
pushes the limits of the technology used.

OK, I've gone back through the archives and now understand the situation
with client- and server-side. I just wasn't thinking it through.

Spawning a window to let PHP query the db and somehow passing returned
values back to the parent window is something I could do, I suppose, but
it seems that what I and the other zillion people who keep asking the
same question need is a way to get to our databases using a client-side
technology like Javascript.

I recognize the shortcomings of client-side stuff like compatility
issues and on/off preferences and in this case am willing to let the
user take some reponsibility for his browsing experience.

Now I'm completely off-topic, but does anyone have any ideas regarding
database access with Javascript, perhaps by having JS run a shell or
perl script? How would JS get the values back? Something like

function getdb () {
   var mylist = execute.some.remote.program(./getmysqldata.pl);
   }

With all the traffic on this type of request, I'm surprised the FAQ
doesn't take
up the subject.

Thanks,
Chuck

RE: [PHP] JavaScript/PHP Function -> Apache/IIS5 -> Client Properties

[Jonathan Sharp]

Hm...I'm not sure I completely understand...but I believe that you're trying
to gather as many stats from the client as possible?

What about having a page that is somewhat transparent to the user (if they
support JS) that you have something like this...


function GetProperties()
{
document.theform.cVersion.value = navigator.appVersion;
etc...
document.theform.submit();
}







Welcome to my beautiful site! One moment please...


Then you'd have mainpage.php checkthrough all those values, and possibly
dump them into a DB and create a SESSIONID which each page thereafter uses
the sessionid to lookup the client settings from the db and build the page
based upon that? Depending on how long it takes to set all the hidden fields
and submit the form, it might even be transparent to the user...or...you
might just have a generic front page if no session id is set and popup
window that has all that java script and say something line "Customizing for
YOU!" and then have that page POST to itself and then have the window close
it self (and you've set a cookie with the session id of course) so then each
page that he visits thereafter has the session id set. And you can customize
for him/her...

This code is run and then goes back to the calling page with all of the
variables.  I then process the variables and put them into a class and build
the page.

This works on IIS5, but when I try to do this on Apache, it freezes up and
after a time comes back with an error message saying PHP.EXE did something
wrong and will be closed.

Can anyone tell me what is happening?  Do you know of any other way to
reliably return client properties?

Thankz...

I have set up an ErrorDocument 404 in httpd.conf to point to a PHP file in
the root of my documents.  It was working, now suddenly it has stopped
working.  Here's the scenario:

When I attempt to view a page that is not there, I receive a 500 Internal

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.

If I look at the error log, I find the following line:

Why not either include the doc root in the include_path of php.ini? Or
define you own DOCUMENT_ROOT constant?

[PHP] ' VS "

[Jonathan Sharp]

I read somewhere that when PHP encounters a single quote ' it doesn't parse
the contents for any variables or such...but if it encounters the double
quote " it does. How much of a performance increase (very very very very
small I'd imagine) would this provide? Any thoughts on coding style?

RE: [PHP] Dynamic Variable Creation from Forms

[Jonathan Sharp]

have you thought about creating an array of the variables? "chk[$row]" and
then you'd read 'em back like chk["aaa"] or chk["bbb"] or you could loop
through the array with a each statement...

but for variable variables...try ${"chk_".$row}["field"] which should
work...

Thanks for your response, but that's not my problem.  I'll explain
further...

I have a table with the following fields in a row:

aaa
bbb
ccc
ddd
eee

I have a page with a form:


mysql_db_query($db, "SELECT * FROM table");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{

   echo "";

}

This will create several checkboxes with the following names:

chk_aaa
chk_bbb
chk_ccc
chk_ddd
chk_eee

ON THE NEXT PAGE, AFTER THE SUBMIT BUTTON IS CLICKED, THESE VARIABLES WILL
EXIST, but I cannot refer to them like this:

$chk_$row["field"]

How can I refer to them???  They can change based on the field data, so they
cannot be considered static variables.






Not *sure* i understand the problem, but this may be the solution:

$foo = "hello";
$bar = "foo";
$foobar = $$bar;

$foobar now contains "hello".

RE: [PHP] Pricing for PHP programming???

[Jonathan Sharp]

I find this an interesting topic...

One thing that we've found when looking for additional PHP programmers to
add is that since PHP has exploded there are a lot of people out there
coding in PHP that don't have a background in programming or some of the
design considerations. We've looked at various places from techies.com to
guru.com and haven't found that many PHP gurus out there. So in terms of
skill level, what do you all see the going rate? I know I'm currently
underpaid at $25/hour and I do ALL the PHP programming, project management,
engineering, database theory etc...oh...and did I mention I do all the
network support too? (I'm taking my CCNA in June...) so yeah...we're a
starup what did you expect?! =)

Comments?

Disclaimer: I don't mean to offend anyone out there who codes in PHP. But
from the experience that I've had trying to find someone who can really code
clean, effecient stuff that plugs into the whole picture has been virtually
non-existent...(if you do, please call! We have a few openings!)

Hey Shane,

This is a tricky issue, here's me (USD):

  $60/hr
  $30/hr if end result becomes open sourced (no strings)

General discounts for features such as : fun,true non-profit,intelligent
employer,learning curve and it all lives on a sliding scale depending on
their ability to pay and my desire for work/money (time).  Also, barter
is usually an option.  Usually hovers between 30-50 and one day this will

If I have a text file with all my sql statements (from like say mysqldump)

RE: [PHP] To The Hacker: CodeBoy

[Jonathan Sharp]

Ok, I just checked my mail and found this thread... to clear this up...

In one of your posts you posed a url to a script you were working on...and I
backed up a directory and it gave me a directory listing...one folder was
/admin/ it gave another listing...then showed phpMyAdmin and then it gave
your full db schema...no passwords or anything...i was able to insert a
record...and a user to your mysql server... password is (abc123) that's all
i did...nothing else...and i'd hardly consider that a hack...more of a
"browse"

Cheers,

RE: [PHP] To The Hacker: CodeBoy

[Jonathan Sharp]

P.S. in your phpMyAdmin config.inc.php file line 13 set:
$cfgServers[1]['adv_auth'] = true;
then you won't have any problems...
