Re: [PHP] Re: Static and/or Dynamic site scraping using PHP

[Lenin]

I thought I would get some more experts giving me more insight about the
methods of scraping.

I want to grab the body content of pages say of Wordpress but not through
RSS. I would assume the pages are static only. And try to scrape the  body
content but avoiding  sidebar, footer, header etc.

I tried with the DOM and its fun. But just wanting to know some expert
experience on specific to my problem.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [PHP] Watermarking of images

[Lenin]

I haven't used GD lib yet. But I can suggest one thing, that is
printing a layer of color under the text to be printed could be a
saver.

I dont know how translucency is made but thats another way to make
better WaterMarks as well.

[PHP] Urgent problem PCRE or DOM help

[Lenin]

 Home | My Interface 

My Interface

DONT READ TABLE

Step-By-Step Instructions:

P tags
IMG tags

DONT READ
 

I am having trouble with the above HTML semantics. I just need to read the
content inside the TD with Class name text11(its the only class in the page
as well).
Need to omit the table inside as it contains Adsense ads.

Got to omit the first two A HREF tags as well. I'm not very good with PCRE
so failing to make it work.

Tried with DOMDocument but with the examples found I failed to achieve the
result.

$elements = $doc->getElementsById('table');

if (!is_null($elements)) {
  foreach ($elements as $element) {
echo "". $element->nodeName. ": ";

$nodes = $element->childNodes;
foreach ($nodes as $node) {
  echo $node->nodeValue. "";
}
  }
}

This above code only gets Texts inside but not Img.
Plz any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I reply from my Nokia 6020's wap (as gmail app would hang now due to less
memory) and I include the receiver's text I cant choose to place it at top
or bottom. So, that way it would always be top posting.

Also from that wap device you will have REAL difficulty if mails are not TOP
posted. Because, then you'd have to scroll all the pages by clicking "next
message">> "next message" blah blah blah.

Of course it is better for reading if mails are written bottom posted or
inline answered.

Well, at the end of the file dont put a ?> on your php files especially
which files you are gonna include at others. It would save you some
dreadfull buggy times. Its also practiced in the framework programming.

Use preg_match function to do that.

Decides whether PHP may expose the fact that it is installed on the server
(e.g. by adding its signature to the Web server header). It is no security
threat in any way, but it makes it possible to determine whether you use PHP
on your server or not.

As Floyd suggested keeping your sessions in the DB will give you better
session management and security as well.

*When you use on-disk files to store session data, those files must be

Re: [PHP] Session Confusion.

[Lenin]

Dear Dare,
I would recommend you to get the free copy of *chapter 10: Security from
Zend Certification Study guide* by Ben Ramsey & Davey Shafik at
www.zceguide.com


shorter tips:
1. You can apply session_regenerate_id() to prevent *session riding*
or *session
fixation*
2. You can keep $_SESSION['user_agent']=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] and
check for logged in user to prevent *session hijacking*
3. Cookie must be encrypted.
4. Filter All inputs and validate them
5. Escape all output
6. while filtering inputs use whitelist & blacklist method

[PHP] Caution Fraud Alert about Antony Papamichail

[Lenin]

I really didn't want to publish this at this moment to this list. As this
list is going to die for this sort of mishaps. Though I should at first let
you all know that this didn't happen from this list at all. But informing
about a fraud will always help.

I have all the proofs and records of chat in skype with this client. And the
party seems to be making good money as well. This greek guy named
Antonis Papamichail (papa...@gmail.com) skype(a.papamichail) contacted me
from the www.getshopped.org WP consultants list. And asked me to solve his
problem of single page theme he had. Though I insisted to allow me 2days but
he at the last moment of agreement allowed me only 1 day. I have taken $100
as advance of 50% of total deal. Then I delivered him the full work. I had
to trust him because he seemed to have a renowed and well established
business. Who would have thought that when I submitted the whole work and he
thanked me, he'd just go away without any talks about the rest of the
payment? I have sent him paypal invoice and sent mail reminders. I found
that he probably has blocked me on Skype after he reported me that the
work/modification by me is working fine. I had no access to his resources as
he  mailed them and I sent that back after proper work.

Anyways I wont write more as, not everyone has the patience to hear it all.
The job I worked for is of an humanitarian guy
http://store.machinegunpreacher.org/index.php

Upto this I wrote on 22nd August but as there was a conversation over Skype
with Dan Milward (founder of instinct.co.nz the WP eCommerce Plugin owner),
he suggested me to not to say anything(as this is something negative) about
this guy in mailing lists, I kept myself off from the tendency to publish
this fraud act(and now I am suffering for not doing this). He is now taking
chances as I didn't take action against him at all. This guy seems to be
related with www.redshift.gr which is also www.psdgator.com


-

Latest update is he not only fled away from giving me the rest 50% money as
in $100. Now, he even claimed back the first $100 over to paypal. Which not
only forcing me put dispute against him but also I think every developer
should be warned about such a miscreant and liar. I have all the proof of
chat conversations, emails and the sourcecode I worked on.

I wonder if he can be such mischievous with a tiny amount of money as $200
and a work of only a single page theme design for WP eCommerce, then what he
is serving to the clients of his company? If I show you all the
conversations he had with me you'll see his attitude problem(acts just like
a teenager phreak) as well.
