[PHP] rad tools, form paser/validator

[Robert Mena]

Hi all,

I've been working with php for a while and whenever I
have the chance I give some tutorials/speeches about
it to other developers, specially those with no
experience with web development.

They all find easy but in one point or another start
asking about an IDE with a debugger, variable watch
etc or RAD tools (they come from Visual Basic/Delphi
enviroments).

In the IDE part I know we have some paid tools (such
as Zend) but can't tell anything that could count as
RAD tool.

So, I'd like to know if there are any RAD tools ,
either free or paid that you know.

One thing that I am planing to develop, or enhance if
I found something similar already, is a form
"parser/validator".

Suppose your design department comes with a real nice
html-css-form and you need to validate it, send the
content as email or add in a database.

This tool would read the HTML and prompt you for the
optional/required fields, validation options
(minimum/max length) etc, send via email or add in a
database..

Then would generate the php code to validate and
perform the required actions.

I think there is a classe (from manuel lemos) that
does soemthing similar but also generate the form
itself based on a definition.

What do you thing about it ?

The ideia is to speed up the repetitive/boring stuff
leting the developer focus on special logic - usually
restricted to fewer options.

[PHP] Advice with encrypting+storing sensitive data

[Robert Mena]

Hi,

I need to develop an application where the protection
of the data (to be stored on a database) should be
very important (perhaps the principal requirement).

THe goal is to have the data stored in a way that even
the admin or anyone that hacks the web and/or database
server could not (or easily) recover the original
data.

First of all I am not a security expert and the
protection need not to be military-grade, just strong
enough to make things harder.

I would like to share a couple of ideias but mostly
interestered in phpers experiences and opinions.

1) Use mcrypt

The user should have to create a phrase and all
sensitive data will be stored using this phrase. 
Since the phrase will not be hardcoded in the php
scripts, even if the web is hacked it will not be
recovered.

For each row I would store the encrypted value and the
initialization vector.

In order to recover the value at the beginning of the
session (when the user logs in) I could store the
phrase as session variable (encrypted with mcrypt and
a system phrase?)

If the user decides to change the phrase a big update
in all encrypted rows/fields would be necessary.

2) Use PGP

Basically the same ideia but differnt encryption
tool/scheme.
Not sure how to implement or if there is any gain.

Well any tips/sugestions/opinions are welcome.

Re: [PHP] Advice with encrypting+storing sensitive data

[Robert Mena]

Thanks Bahwi, 

I agree with you regarding the client-side aspect.
But since we are talking about a regular web-based
application in php I think I will have to deal with
that.

The other security concerns are already addressed,
such as the use of SLL to encrypt the traffic and
possibly the use of an encoder do hide the source
code.

I do not think I understood your ideia :

[PHP] Win32 php : MS Access support (odbc support)

[Robert Mena]

Hi, 

I will have to retrieve data stored in a MDB (MS
Access) "database".

Since this MDB file be hosted in a Windows machine I'd
like to have a CGI version of PHP with ODBC support so
I can retrieve the data locally and send to a remote
mysql database automatically.

Since I've never used the CGI version to MDB any
tips/caveats will be appreciated.

[PHP] Problems to compile php (cvs)

[Robert Mena]

Hi, I usually fetch php from cvs a couple of times in
order to try new features etc.

Unfortunately since the beginning of this week I have
been unable to compile, no matter what I do.

I have been cvsing daily, buildconf and the same
./configure settings I have been using for ages.

./configure --with-apxs2 --enable-gd-native-ttf
--with-xml --with-openssl --with-zlib --with-dom
--with-gd --with-ttf

The error :

home/php4/ext/standard/basic_functions.c: In function
`php_simple_ini_parser_cb':
/home/php4/ext/standard/basic_functions.c:2827:

Any tips ?

[PHP] strange behaviour with 4.3.0 : warning of an unspecified open_basedir

[Robert Mena]

Hi,  I've upgraded the php version from 4.2.2 to 4.3.0
yesterday and some of my users started complaining
about errors in php scripts.

The errors do not occur all the times and the messages
shown are weird (for me at least) !

The user is accessing a php file located under
/var/www/html/site.com/private/alt.php3. It performs a
mysql query.

I have a virtual host in apache so
/var/www/html/site.com/ is mapped as www.site.com.

The error messages :
Warning: Unknown(): open_basedir restriction in
effect. File(/var/www/html/site.com/private/alt.php3)
is not within the allowed path(s):
(/home/httpd/html/anothersite.com/) in Unknown on line
0

Warning:

inclusion
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php/:/home/httpd/html/php/:/home/httpd/html/include/php/')

The strange part is that the safe_mode is off and it
mentions a directory from another virtual host
(anothersite.com).

[PHP] Problems with 4.3.0 cli and paths

[Robert Mena]

Hi,

I have upgraded my server with the 4.3.0 version.  The
cli was upgraded also and all my scripts started to
crash.

I ususally put a #!/husr/local/bin/php -q in all
scripts that need to be executed from the crontab.

All the sudden the scripts ended with error messages
such as Warning: main(../php/define.php)
[http://www.php.net/function.main]: failed to create
stream: No such file or directory in
/home/httpd/html/script.php on line 11

What's going on ?

Do I need to put the full path now ?

regards.

[PHP] Sax-like : accessing form fields elements

[Robert Mena]

Hi,

I am developing an application which will have to
parse a html page and extract information about the
forms found.

I tried the HTMLSAX class
(http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/package/678.html)
which is ok except by the fact that I can not retrieve
the default/checked status from the elements.

Ie. 

Any ideias ?

Since the html will usually be ill-formed a standard
DOM-tree (with builtin functions at least) wont be possible.

[PHP] Correct number format (curency)

[Robert Mena]

Hi,

I have one application where the users enter a curency
value.

Unfortunately even tough I write the "correct" format
I keep receiving all kinds.

Example

1.000,00
1000.00
1,000.00

I would like to convert those to a single format
1000.00

Is there any function in php that already does that ? 
Or perhaps any code snippets ?

thanks.

[PHP] PHP 4.3.0/4.3.2 - Strange problem with exec / move_uploaded_file

[Robert Mena]

Hi,

I am faciing a strange problem.  I have some php
script to  receive images (via file upload).

The script is failling to work because it can't
move/copy the file.

I've added a sleep(x) in order to make the temporary
file stick around.

  20 -rw---1 apache   apache  19402 Jul  4
10:49 /tmp/phpFj6Irk

I've added apache to an upload group

upload:x:1098:apache

And changed the owner of the directory.

ls -sla /home/httpd/html/foo.com/img/news/
total 24
   4 drwxrwxr-x6 webmaste upload   4096 Jul  4
10:11 .
   4 drwxrwxr-x5 webmaste webmaste 4096 Jun 10

10:48 10
   4 drwxrwxr-x2 webmaste upload   4096 Jul  4
09:54 2

And the both commands below fail.

move_uploaded_file($tmpfile,$destination)
exec("/bin/cp $tmpfile $destination",$array)

The var_dump in array shows 

array(0) { }

The $destination var has (checked with echo)

/home/httpd/html/foo.com/img/news/10/xxx.jpg

Any ideias ?

[PHP] Help with "secure" virtual host setup

[Robert Mena]

Hi all,

I host some virtual domains within my apache 1.3.x/php
4.3.x setup.

Those domains are mantained by the users via ftp and I
was wondering if I could secure the configuration a
little bit more.  I know that are limitations but the
requirements would be :

a) the user should not be able to access files outside
the DocumentRoot besides system libraries or temporary
files
b) I'd like to have a system wide repository where
common libraries, classes should be accessed without
having to copy and mantain individually
c) Since the user has some php thet perform a file
upload, those scripts must be able to move, rename,
delete files located under the document root

As a starting point the user has a ftp login and the
document root is owned by the login.apache so the user
and the apache can access and alter the contents.

Best regards.

[PHP] PHP / Oracle support (8/9) under Redhat 9

[Robert Mena]

Hi,

I am planning to migrate my current web server from
redhat 7.x to 9 and I am currently evaluating what may
go wrong or need special attention before I actually
replace it.

After searching the archives and other lists I still
have a couple of questions :

a) apache

It seems that apache + php does not work well under
heavy load so I should stick with 1.3.X right ?  Any
ideas where I can find a rpm package for redhat 9 ?

b) oracle support

For the current setup I've downloaded and installed
the oracle 8i (8.1.5) in a separate machine, tar.gz
the lib directory in order to compile and run php with
oracle 8i.

Is this the best approach for Redhat 9 or should I try
to install oracle 9 which hopefully may have a
devel-only option ?  Note that php needs to access
external oracle 8 servers which I do not mantain.

Regards.

But I'd need to compile php with oracle support.

Do you have any experience with this setup ? RH9 + PHP

Thanks for the reply.

I already use 4.3.1 in my current server.

I always compile my version of php since the ones that
come with the distro are always too old and usually
does not contain support for need features such as
mcrpyt or oracle.

[PHP] comparing xml files, removing some html tags

[Robert Mena]

Hi,

I need to compare two XML files in order to find if
they are "similar", i.e their DOM tree have the same
structure.

The ideia is to use Xerces to balance HTML files in
order to create Xhtml and then compare.

To make things a little easier for Xerces I am
considering to remove some elements that do not make
diference for my similarity point of view, for
example,  tags, before calling
xerces.

So I was wondering which regular expression should I
use to remove the content and so
on...

regards.

Re: [PHP] comparing xml files, removing some html tags

[Robert Mena]

Thanks to all (actually just one) that answered my
question.  Unfortunatelly I was hoping a more
"complete" answer since the part I asked was not the
main goal... bu t anyway...

I'd like to ask then if the viewers could validate my
new approach or at least point ways of actually
implementing it.

Suppose I use Xerces and tidy to turn two html files
into two xhtml ones.

I'd like to remove the data found between the Tags and
generate two new files only with the scructure
elements (tables, Br, p and so on).

Then I could use regular diff from unix and if they
differ in more than X% I assume they are different.

Assuming that this approach is ok any tips regarding
the actual implementation ?  Any snippets of code
would be great.

development machine (Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) 
(Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6
PHP/4.3.0) with no problems.

When I moved to the "real server" (PHP Version 4.3.2)
it keeps giving me this answer

Fatal error: Unknown(): The script tried to execute a

Please ensure that the class definition
adodb_mysql of the object you are trying to

[PHP] How to solve include_path / safe_mode / open_basedir /document_root ?

[Robert Mena]

Hi,  I host some virtual servers in a Linux/apache/php
4 enviroment.

I'd like to set up as secure as possible since the
users have ftp access to upload files.

So each virtual domain has a safe_mode/open_basedir
settings in order to make it difficult to mess with
each other's files.

Unfortunatelly this seems to have a side effect. 
Whenever I need to provide tools/classes such as
Jpgraph, Smarty and so on I have to copy to the user's
directory since the include_path could not reach
outside the document root/open_basedir directory.

So, is there a way to configure so I have a "secure"
enviroment and yet be able to define a common
repository.

Regards.

[PHP] Oracle support under PHP / 8i or 9 and a RedHat 9 / Apache 1.3.X machine

[Robert Mena]

Hi,

I have a server (currently 7.1) with apache + php
compiled with oracle (mcrypt, imap, gettext) support.

In order to do so I've installed the 8i linux
versions, make a tar.gz of the libs directory and
installed in my server.

I runs fine accessing a remote (not mantained by me)
oracle database.

I am planning to switch to a newer distribution and
was considering the RH9 but with the "old" apache.

Since I do not actually use Oracle (just enable php
scripts to do so) I am kind of lost if the combo (old
8i libs with redhat 9) are stable enough or should I
try a newer version, such as oracle 9.

And in that case if PHP level of support is the same
(oracle 8 or 9).

Since the answer can be slighty OT fell free to send
me directly.

Thanks.

[PHP] XML, Parser and newbie links

[Robert Mena]

Hi, recently I was given the task to create an
application to generate xml files in order to exchange
data.

Since my knowleadge of xml is close to zero :) I also
received an english text explaining the DTD and an
example of how the file should be written.

So I got to a point where I simply should create a php
script to access my databases and output the data in
the requested format, right ?

Well close but not quite.  I am supposed to parse the
file with the DTD in order to validade it.

This seems to be the place where I got lost.  So how
exactly (with php or perhaps another tool) can do this
?

Thanks.

PS. If possible send me some urls with a tutorial of
XML so my next questions wont be so basic ;)

[PHP] Oracle + PHP + RH 6.2 (and 7.0)

[Robert Mena]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has some links about
articles, code snippets or tips regarding the use of
oracle as rdbms and php.

I have experience with mysql so I am considering the
use of an abstraction layer to access so I could
easily por existing apps.

BTW. Does anybody know If the latest 8.1.7 works with
RedHat 7.0 ?
Is it possible to install just the necessary libs to
compile and run php+apache with oracle support ? My
web server is in a different machine than the actual
db server and I would not like to install the whole
package uncessary.

Thanks.

Why is this related to php ? Because I'll need to

php+oracle.

thanks.

[PHP] zlib.output_compression - how to turn it on

[Robert Mena]

Hi, after downloading and compiling php4.0.6dev (from
cvs) I've decided to try the new "much improved" zlib
output support (already enabled in 4.0.5).

The announcement from the changelog says check the
zlib.output_compression ini.

I've searched the php.net site as well as the mailing
lists but could not find a reference for it.

I've tried to put zlib.output_compression=on (or yes)
in my /usr/local/etc/php.ini and even tough I've
restarted the server, phpInfo() shows me no
difference.

The php was compiled with zlib support. How can I turn
it on ?

thanks.

Re: [PHP] zlib.output_compression - how to turn it on

[Robert Mena]

Yasuo,

thanks for the reply. Yes I do have zlib support
(shows me in phpinfo()).

Sorry the stupid question but How do I check the size
of the page ?

If I access it and use save as I will have the
uncompressed version right ?

Which .ini directive did you use ?

- thanks

>>If you want to check if it is working.

>>Display phpinfo() and check the size of the file.
>>I get 6 KB compressed, where I get 50KB
uncompressed.

>> You have zlib support, right?

[PHP] Mcrypt + urlencode : how to pass encrypted values

[Robert Mena]

Hi I am developing an application which will encrypt
(using mcrypt library) some data.

Everyting is ok except the fact that I can no longer
have links (GET) passing the values. 

For ex.
I used to have
a href="script.php?plaintext=foobar"

now I need to pass that foobar value encrypted.

a
href="script.php?iv=Z%A3%BCH%B7%ED%EDo&encrypted=ÀšœÒÿk‰~"

How do I make it work?  urlencode seems to break when
I use with encrypted data.

hidden post variables are not an option.  Sessions
either.

thanks

[PHP] Detecting error in OCIExecute calls

[Robert Mena]

Hi, I am accessing an oracle database from PHP using
stored procedures available.

I'd like to detect when a problem occurs in order to
stop trying to fetch results.  In mysql I check for
rc=0 as an error.  The php doc does not tell if this
applies to oracle as well.

The code is something like this 
$res = OCINewCursor($oraCon); 
$stm = OCIParse ( $oraCon, " 
BEGIN 
  MY_PROCEDURE(:LOGIN, :PASS, :KEY, :INITIAL, :FINAL,
:RES); 
END; 
"); 

OCIBindByName ( $stm, ":LOGIN", &$login, -1); 
OCIBindByName ( $stm, ":PASS", &$pass, -1); 
OCIBindByName ( $stm, ":KEY", &$key, -1); 
OCIBindByName ( $stm, ":INITIAL", &$initial, -1); 
OCIBindByName ( $stm, ":FINAL", &$final, -1); 
OCIBindByName ( $stm, ":RES", &$res, -1, OCI_B_CURSOR
); 

$rc = @OCIExecute ( $stm ); 
if($rc)
{
OCIExecute ($res); 
...
}
else
{
// Error do something!
}

Thanks.

[PHP] PHP 4.0.5 - segmentation fault when using OCI8

[Robert Mena]

Hi, I have a development machine with 4.0.4pl1 which
has been used for creating a set of scripts to access
oracle (using stored procedures).

It seems to be working fine (the problems that I've
encountered seems to be related to the
oracle/procedure itself).

Last night I moved the scripts to the production
server.  Eveything was working ok until I try to
access the part the uses the oracle where it hangs for
a while and then gives me a [notice] child pid X
exit signal Segmentation fault (11).

I've compiled using './configure' '--with-apxs'
'--with-ttf' '--with-xml' '--with-gd' '--with-ftp'
'--enable-session' '--enable-trans-sid' '--with-zlib'
'--enable-inline-optimization'
'--with-oci8=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/'
--with-mcrypt  --enable-sigchild

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

Hi Thies,

Yes, httpd is linked against pthread.

This problem (segmentation fault) seems to be
happening quite often (after reading some posts).

[PHP] oracle 8i stored procedures + php access

[Robert Mena]

Hi, I have a delphi application that uses oracle as db
server with stored procedures (running ok).

I've been trying to make a php version of such
application with no luck so far.

I've created a user to access such thing and I keep
getting the following error

Warning: OCIStmtExecute: ORA-06550: line 3, column 3:
PLS-00905: object

The script follows


 putenv("ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle") ;

 putenv("ORACLE_SID=oracle") ;

  $usernameOracle=dbuser;

  $hostOracle=dbhost;

 $tsA = time() ;
  $con =
OCIPLogon($usernameOracle,$passwordOracle,$hostOracle);
  $tsD = time() ;

$res = OCINewCursor($con);
$stm = OCIParse ( $con, "

  exit;
}

while (OCIFetchInto($res,&$data))

  var_dump($data);
}

OCIFreeCursor($stm);

The stored procedure has one code bellow

IF (vmINT_QtdLines <= 0) THEN
-- PHP

  -20005,
  'NAME NOT FOUND'
);
-- DELPHI
--  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('NOTHING
FOUND:'||pkey);
--  RAISE Erro;
END IF;

I am not quite sure where the problem is located.  Any
help (if directly related to oracle emails directly)
wl be appreciated.

Thanks.

[PHP] problems with php 4.1.1 (strtok?)

[Robert Mena]

Hi,
I have a script to upload/insert records in a mysql
db.  I was running fine before the upgrade (php
4.0.4pl1) now it confuses the columns starting with
the column number 9.

I've attached a one line file that I used with the
scripts. the problem seems to be with strok and null
values.  One of the columns is empty so I have
value1\t\tvalue2 and it seems to confuse itself.

The script that parses the line is like this

$C_F=strtok($line,"\t");
$dt=strtok("\t");
$DT=strtok("\t");


Using the same script under php4.0.6 with the same
upload file it shows (correct) :
insert into table values
values('05','01/11/01','10:01','MYCOMPANY','04.679.080/0001-04','OTHERCOMPANY','SP-SAO
PAULO','47.427.653/0014-30','109726','02','091330','15','VOL','PROD','383,1000','10075/01','EQT-0001','EQT-0001','','','','','','','','','01/11/01','08:00','01/11/01','18:00','09/11/01','08:00','09/11/01','08:00','','7D,22H','')

Using the same script under php4.1.1 with the same 
upload file it shows (incorrect 02 at column number 9)
: 
insert into cargas values
values('05','01/11/01','10:01','MYCOMPANY','04.679.080/0001-04','OTHERCOMPANY','SP-SAO

[PHP] output compression and imp 2.x not working under IE

[Robert Mena]

Hi, I've recently upgraded my server to php 4.1.1 and
turned on the output compression under php.ini.
For some browsers (IE 5/5.5 so far) it made imp stop
working.

Does anybody know if this is a "limitation" of php,
imp or explorer ?

Anyone has tried that with the latest imp/horde ?

thanks.

[PHP] Re: strtok bug

[Robert Mena]

Hi Manuel and all developers.

I understand that the implementation of strtok was
"broken" (non POSIX compliant) but since it has been
like this for ages would be better to give a chance to
developers worldwide (that has been using and relied
on this broken implementation) to control the
behaviour of such feature much the same way
REGISTER_GLOBALS (or something) in recently 4.1.0.

Imagine recoding 100+ distributed scripts to change
this!

The decision of having this "fixed" is great but not
paying attention (like you always did in the past)
with backwards compatibility is (IMHO) a mistake.

Best regards,
Robert

[PHP] Accessing Oracle DBMS_OUTPUT from PHP

[Robert Mena]

Hi,

I have developed some php scripts to interact to an
oracle db using a set of predefined stored procedures
(which I did not write).

Those procedures are called either by a desktop delphi
application and my php scripts
(linux+apache+mod_php...).

I'd like to know how can I access the contents of
DBMS_OUTPUT so I can echo the custom error messages ?

A fragment of code of the actual procedure

 IF (vmINT_QtdLines <= 0) THEN
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('NOTHING FOUND UNDER
THIS ID.');
  RAISE MyError;
END IF;

Calling from delphi it shows the custom message, under
php it only shows the ORA .

Any ideas ?

[PHP] Strange behaviour : php accessing Oracle (PLS-00553: character set name)

[Robert Mena]

Hi,
Ie developed some scripts to access oracle.  Using my
development machine it works great.

When I switch to the production server I keep getting

Warning: OCIStmtExecute: ORA-06550: line 3, column 33:
PLS-00553: character set name is not recognized
ORA-06550: line 0, column 0: PL/SQL: Compilation unit
analysis terminated in /var/www/html/test.php on line
35
 
This only happens with stored procedures.  Regular
selects work fine.

Since the same production server is used by many
delphi applications I may be doing something wrong.

Any tips will be appreciated.

If this is considered off-topic please email me
directly.

[PHP] Oracle & NLS : Access from PHP

[Robert Mena]

Hi,

I have some script to access an Oracle database using
stored procedures.  When I access a development
database everything runs fine.  When I access the
production database I get errors PLS-00553: character
set name is not recognized ORA-06550.

The problem seems to be related to NLS.  So in the
beginning of the script I've put :

[PHP] SAFE_MODE + deleting files

[Robert Mena]

Hi,
I have enabled the safe mode in a virtual host that
uses php in order to try to prevent the user from
uploading (via ftp) a php that could sniff around
other's people files.

Unfortunately I got stucked in a problem.  this site
uses php to upload and manage some files remotely. 
The webserver runs as nobody.nobody but the files are
owned by the user's id.

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script
whose uid is 1515 is not allowed to access
/home/httpd/html/some_site/img/foo.jpg 
owned by uid 99 in .php on line 43

Any tips ?

Best regards.

Hi, I've succesfully installed a oracle 8.1.7 (chose

I've compiled php as DSO with a

[PHP] Oracle + apache + php + linux Red Hat 6.2(update)

[Robert Mena]

Hi,

I've managed to install oracle and to compile and
install php (--with-oci8).  Unfortunately when I start
the server it gives me a httpd dead but subsys locked.

Searching the archives I found one link to PHP.net
manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.oci8.php)
where it tells me that I should compile apache with
pthreads support.

Well, I downloaded apache-1.3.14.src.rpm from redhat
(6.2 updates) and compiled it but no luck (the same
result).

My ldd /usr/sbin/httpd shows :

[PHP] Which DB abstraction ?

[Robert Mena]

Hi,

I am in a middle of the process of chosing which DB
will be used for future projects.  I've been using
Mysql for almost 5 years (coupled with php of course)
but it seems to have reached it's limits (actually the
lack of some features).

The other options include some traditional comercial
dbs and postgresql.  I am about to choose postgresql
because it seems to support the features I need
(foreign key, transaction, triggers, stored
procedures) and is open source with active
development.

Even tough I'd like to receive (perhaps in private)
personal thought about this decision I would not like
to start a war...so my focus here is : which db
abstraction layer is ready for use ? disavantages ?

I am considering : Manuel Lemos' Metabase, Phplib and
Pear.

So far I've played a little bit with pear, and read
about metabase and phplib with no real experience in
both.

The ideia is to start using it right away so the
adption of other DB would be painless (almost).

Thanks,
RT

[PHP] To be or not to be : safe mode

[Robert Mena]

Hi, 
I've decided to turn on/set safe_mode, document_root
and open_basedir in apache's httpd.conf in order to
make the scripts a little more secure (some upload
files such as image) in a virtual host.

Everything worked fine except for a couple of scripts.
Those scripts (used for file upload) first move (with
move_uploaded_file from /tmp to a folder/directory
located under the document root of the site.

The user verifies that he really wants that image and
then (another script) moves to the definitive
folder/directory.

Since the 2 part was not working I've changed to use
the copy function and it gave me a 
"..SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.  The script whose
uid is X is not allowed to access
/home/httpd/html/somewhere/imgtmp/uploaded_img.png
owned by uid Y (the web server) in
/home/httpd/html/somewhere/script.php3 on line 34" 

How do I solve this ?  For now I've disabled
safe_mode. 

But I am considering setting it back on and change
(somehow) the default upload dir to a new one. Since
move_uploaded_file still works (even with safe_mode) I
assume I will work but another problem arises.
The name of the uploded file (which I do not control)
is something like phpUKXh6R so how to tell the browser
of the correct mime-type ?  I do have the original
name...

Changing the uid of the scripts to the same of the web
server seems to bring aditional security problems.

Thanks.

[PHP] PHP/Apache security question : bugtraq, suExec etc

[Robert Mena]

Hi, I follow bugtraq and recently there was a thread
regarding safe_mode of php and how to "break" it.
The thread was killed without a conclusion to where
this is really a new threat or the same problem
(scripts executed with sage uid/gid of the web
server).

So, I was wondering if the php-dev team has already
reached a veredict.

I recently saw a post about the use of suExec and I'd
like to know the performance impact and is there
anything php could do to make such thing easier
(perhaps this is more an apache issue).

Up to now all my virtual domains have used safe_mode,
openbase_dir and document_root settings limiting the
access to files/scripts located under the virtual
directory and no access to override the settings with
a .htaccess.

Is this secure "enough" ? My major concern is the
hability to upload a php code (using ftp), some c
files of a local exploit, compile it and execute as
apache...

thanks.

[PHP] enable_dl : manual not clear enough?

[Robert Mena]

Extension Loading Directives

Hi, 
While reading the english version of the manual I got
stucked in a part that seems a little confusing.

"enable_dl boolean
This directive is really only 

The main reason for turning dynamic loading off is
security. With dynamic loading, it's possible to
ignore all the safe_mode and open_basedir
restrictions. 

The default is to allow dynamic loading, except when
using safe-mode. In safe-mode, it's always imposible
to use dl()."

Well it is or isn't possible to use dl with safe_mode
?

It says "...With dynamic loading, it's possible to
ignore all the safe_mode and open_basedir 
restrictions."  and then "In safe-mode, it's always
imposible to use dl().".

[PHP] Converting from paradox DB to mysql

Hi,

Does anybody knows how can I convert from a Paradox DB

driver (i.e I'd have to write a convertion tool).

[PHP] Segmentation fault (11) : mcrypt

Hi, I've trying to use mcrypt and php (4.06 or

I am using the latest libmcrypt-2.4.15 and php (a hour
ago cvs update).

Is this a known bug ?

[PHP] mcrypt segfault (still)

[Robert Mena]

Hi,  a couple of weeks ago I posted a problem with
mcrypt under php with at least 4.0.5,4.0.6 and
4.0.7-dev.

The server works ok until you use a mcrypt function
(it segfaults).

The bug has been reported in bugs.php.net and
assigned.  Unfortunately so far no solution or news
regarding this.

Does anybody have a working php 4.0.5+ and mcrypt
installation ?

Perhaps it is something with the latest libmcrypt.

Best regards.

[PHP] managing cvs from php

[robert mena]

Hi,

I use cvs from my internal projects and will soon need to let others
change template files from a web form.

The user will load the current template, edit, preview and if ok "publish".

Since I'd like to keep a history and track those changes one option
for me would be to add a cvs call with a commit off the changed file.

I do not need to do other "fancy" functions.  Just commit and get the
result if it worked.

My current (not working) test script is simply

$cmd = "cd ".$pathToFile." ; /usr/bin/cvs ci -m '".$logMsg."' ".$file ;

passthru($cmd) ;

If I echo the $cmd and paste in a shell the command works.  When I
execute from web nothing happens and no output is seen
(error_reporting(E_ALL))

[PHP] Dinamic generate PDF : which way ? (classes, docbook)

[robert mena]

Hi,

I plan to dynamic generate some of the documents I need on a regular
basis.  Sometimes they only differ by the name of the company so my
first attempt would be to generate "templates" in word and ask/replace
for the values needed.

I am evaluating the http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/, www.fpdf.org and php
classes that generate pdf and as another option use docbook to
convert.

I am not sure which way is better.

>From my point of view:
a) Both classes seem to be fine but in order to generate (static)
tables and other elements I will need a lot of programming
calls/variables.  So I'd have a manual and perhaps tedious/error
procedure to convert the document into the "programable-version" of
it.

b) I do not have experience with DocBook (even tough I can code html
and latex) but I could use  an editor to generate the document with
the tables, place images etc.  Identify the template variables and
call docbook to generate the pdf.  I'd still have to manually convert
the file but would not need a lot of calls to generate a table or even
use a php programmer.  I am assuming the the tags needed are more
easly understanded than $pdf->addCell($data,width..)

Any ideias ?

Re: [PHP] Dinamic generate PDF : which way ? (classes, docbook)

[robert mena]

Thanks.  I'll check it out.

My main concern is that what seems great about using those php classes
to generate the pdf directly is the possibilite to pull data from
mysql (or other db) and generate an up-to-date report.

But since this is not the case seems a lot of work just to generate a
simple table.

I don't work with docbook yet so it can be a wrong feeling but seems
easier to train a person which already uses HTML to code using
docbook's tags than teach php/class.  Specially if what I want does
not involve fancy features.

[PHP] Problem with php 4/5, segmentation fault

[robert mena]

Hi,

I have a Linux Fedora Core2 system with apache 2.0.51 and php
installed. Recently I 've noticed that some pages stopped working.

Those pages while accessed does not output anything.

After some tests I noticed that the page comes back to live if I
remove the mysql_pconnect call.

I've tried to upgrade php (to 4.3.9 and even 5.0.2).  The mysqlclient
tool can connect with no problem.

The test script is



If I access via http nothing appears.  If I use the cli version I can connect.

Regular html and php without db access work ok.

I've even tryed to downgrade or reinstall apache to 2.0.50 or back to 2.0.51.

Any ideas ?

[PHP] Unable to get output from exec "ssh remote-server 'ping -c4 ip'"

[robert mena]

Hi,

I need to develop an interface that will, for example, ping IPs from a
remote server. So the php script will be hosted in a server with ssh access
(key) to the remote server.

I can make it work from the console but when I try

$cmd = "ssh remote-server 'ping -c 4 ip'"
exec($cmd, $ouput);

the output is empty.

the same command (with the remote-server and IP changed to the real ones)
works fine from command line.

I've added the key/config in the webserver's user .ssh directory so I am
assuming that that there is something wrong with my setup.

any ideas?

[PHP] Help with security configuration for a shared hosting environment

[robert mena]

Hi,

I am setting a shared hosting server and I'd like to gather some advices
regarding the security. Since the code will not be produced by me I'd like
to focus on environment strategies.

For now I've added a noexec in the mount options of the /tmp and the homedir
of the web server, disabled the devel tools (such as gcc).

In terms of the PHP I am inclined to use mod_suPHP to avoid having the
problem with the script generated files (such as uploads) being owned by the
webserver itself and I'd like to use the available php.ini options to try to
make it harder for an attacker to cause problems.

I will disable the register_globals and the allow url fopen.  But what else
can I do (open_basedir/doc_root/safe_mode etc)?

I need to allow the user to access the pear classes.

Using linux/php 5.2.x

Regards.

[PHP] Using array_intersect with an unknown number of arrays

[robert mena]

Hi,

I have a result set coming from a database that can be of the form below

$lines = array(0 => array('idA' => 1, 'idU' => 1),
1 => array('idA' => 1, 'idU' => 2),
2 => array('idA' => 2, 'idU' => 1),
3 => array('idA' => 2, 'idU' => 2),
4 => array('idA' => 3, 'idU' => 1),
5 => array('idA' => 3, 'idU' => 2));

I used the code to generate arrays based on the idA, i.e, one array
containing all the idU from each idA

foreach ($lines as $r)
{
if(!isset($list[$r['idA']]))
{
$list[$r['idA']] = array();
}

array_push($list[$r['idA']], $r['idU']);
}

Now need just the idU that occurs in all.

In my example I could simply

$x = array_intersect($list[1], $list[2], $list[3]);

This works but the problem is that I do not know in advance how many (and
which) indexes I will get from that foreach since the results will differ
from the database.

Is there a way around this ?

[PHP] Problem with SOAP and authentication? SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Unauthorized

[robert mena]

Hi,

I am trying to access a webservice using php's soapclient but I keep getting
the error SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Unauthorized

If I try using a web browser I can authenticate using the same credentials
used by the php code.

I've searched but the only mention that I found led to a 'won't fix' bug
registered to php 5.1.6.  I am using 5.2.10.

Any ideas of what may be causing this?  Is there a workaround?

Regards.

Re: [PHP] Problem with SOAP and authentication? SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Unauthorized

[robert mena]

Hi,

I'll have a look.  I am using Zend Framework's Zend_Soap_Client which in
turn uses SoapClient.  I'll try to use SoapClient directly.

I am not using https and I am not going through a proxy (using a non
standard port).  I've tested with another SOAP client (a standalone
application called SoapUI) without a problem.

Is there anyone using SoapClient (or Zend_Soap_Client) with auth with
success?   What other library (that does not use SoapClient) could I try?

Re: [PHP] Problem with SOAP and authentication? SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Unauthorized

[robert mena]

I was hoping for a "userland" soap library (like nuSoap if I understand
correctly).   I can't change the fact that the remote webservice requires
http auth.

Hopefully someone in this list uses either zend_soap or soapClient directly
with auth to confirm or deny that the problem is in this part specifically.

Re: [PHP] Problem with SOAP and authentication? SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Unauthorized

[robert mena]

Hi Richard,

Thanks for taking the time.

Unfortunately I can't give you access to the actual webservice.   I am using
Zend_Soap_Client so my code is like this

$soapOptions = array(
  "login"  => 'xxx',
  "password"   => 'y');

$client = new Zend_Soap_Client('http://myproviders.com/wsdl.xml',
$soapOptions);
$rc = $client->mi_request($var);

I get

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Unauthorized in
/usr/local/zend/share/ZendFramework/library/Zend/Soap/Client.php:987
Stack trace:
#0 [internal function]: SoapClient->__doRequest('http://10.200', 'http://sap.com/...', 2)

/usr/local/zend/share/ZendFramework/library/Zend/Soap/Client.php on line 987

Calling the SoapClient directly gives me the same result.

Re: [PHP] Problem with SOAP and authentication? SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Unauthorized

[robert mena]

Hi,

I am using soapUI which is a client soap tester (that works with this
webservice) to compare what is being generated.  In the header I see
Authorization: Basic =XYS

So the default (using SoapClient) should also work...

I've captured the tcpdump file and will try to load using wireshark.

Re: [PHP] Problem with SOAP and authentication? SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Unauthorized

[robert mena]

Well,

I've captured using wireshark both communications:

The one that works

POST /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:Y_BS_SIP_DEV:cc_soap_snd_sip_dev
HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
SOAPAction: "http://sap.com/xi/WebService/soap1.1";
User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1
Host: X.Y.Z.W:5
Content-Length: 535

Using cUrl I tried to mimic the behavior.  The content is the same (I've
even tried to reproduce some of the headers). but I get an error.

POST /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:Y_BS_SIP_DEV:cc_soap_snd_sip_dev
HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic Ym9sOmJlbW9sMjAxMA==
Host: X.Y.Z.W:5
Accept: */*
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
SOAPAction: "http://sap.com/xi/WebService/soap1.1";
User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1
Content-Length: 535

Any ideas?

[PHP] Invalid chars in XML

[robert mena]

Hi,

I am trying to parse a XML file with simplexml_load but it gave me error.
 While inspecting the contents I found a & inside the value of a tag.
something & something.

After I've removed the & everything went fine.  So which chars I should not
put in my file?   Should I use some conversion function like html_entities?

Does the receiver of the XML has to do anything to convert is back?

[PHP] Problems converting strings with 0 to integer

[robert mena]

Hi,

I have a text file (utf-8 encoded) which contains lines with numbers and
text separated by \t.  I need to convert the numbers that contains 0 (at

For some reason one line that contains 0002 is casted to 0 instead of 2.
 Bellow the output of the cast (int) $field[0]  where I get this from
explode each line.

0 0002
4 0004

The core of the code is simply

$fp = fopen('file.tab', 'rb');
while(!feof($fp))
{
   $line = fgets($fp);
   $data = explode("\t", $line);
...
}

So I try to manipulate the $data[X].  For example $data[0] is supposed to be
numeric so I  $n = (int) $data[0]

One other thing if the second column should contain a string.  If I check
the string visually it is correct but a if( $data[1] == 'stringX')  is false
even if in the file I can see this (and print those two)

I even did a md5 of both and they are different.

I seems to be an encoding issue.  Is it safe to use explode with utf8
strings?

I even tried this code but no match found (jst to replace the explode)

$str = "abc 文字化けefg";

$results = array();
preg_match_all("/\t/u", $str, $results);
var_dump($results[0]);

(I am sending this again without the reply because the first email was
refused for some reason)

[PHP] unable to allocate memory for pool (php 5.2.16)

[robert mena]

Hi,

My system got upgraded with the rpm version of php 5.2.16 and since them I
am getting errors with 'Unable to allocate memory for pool'.   Reverting php
to the older version solves the problem and  while using the 5.2.16 the
problems does not seem to occur with a specific pattern, i.e sometimes the
same page works sometimes doesn't.

Any idea or similar results?

[PHP] Online tests for php

[robert mena]

Hi,

I am trying to hire some php developers for a local taks and I need to
somehow perform a triage. One of the aspects is the knowledge of PHP itself
so I was wondering if there is any set of questions (multiple choice) to try
to do that.

I am not looking for a  certification level in those tests but a way to at
least know what this guy knows.

[PHP] Understanding deprecated features from 5.2 -> 5.3

[robert mena]

Hi,

I am planning to upgrade my server from 5.2 to 5.3 but I am not sure if the
deprecated features will simply throw warning messages but work or won't
work at all.  So far I've read that deprecated features are going to be
removed on later versions.

Unfortunately I host sites and some may use features like register_globals
and I need to know what to expect.

[PHP] Problems with interoperability: MCrypt AES PHP x Java

[robert mena]

Hi,

I am having problems while trying to decrypt an encrypted string (generated
from a java system) in PHP.

To take external factors out of the way I decided to make them work first in
my local system.

So I've created a sample encrypt/decrypt from PHP (using mcrypt's extension)
and the java code found at
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Security/AES/AES_v1.html.

I've added a System.out.println("KEY: " + asHex(raw));

to get the key used in the java and set the same in PHP.   There is no
mention in Java but since I didn't see a initialization vector I assume we
are use ECB mode.

Unfortunately the same string /key produces different encrypted values.

[PHP] Anyone has mcrypt working with Zend Community Edition and Mac OS X Lion?

[robert mena]

Hi,

After I've upgraded it stopped working and even if I reinstall the Zend CE
package it complains.

[PHP] Dependency Injection containers

[robert mena]

Hi,

I am trying to avoid reinventing the wheel so I am looking for
dependency injection containers that work with PHP 5.2.  So Symphony2
and ZF2 DI are out of question.

I found this 
http://www.potstuck.com/2010/09/09/php-dependency-a-php-dependency-injection-framework/
 but I was wondering if anyone has a opinion about it or alternatives.

[PHP] safe mode/open basedir not working ?

[robert mena]

Hi,

I host a few virtual domains in apache 2 and use php.

The virtual domain is something like


ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/html/domain.com
ServerName www.domain.com
ErrorLog   logs/domain.com-error_log
CustomLog  logs/domain.com-access_log combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/httpd/cgi-bin/

AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
php_admin_value doc_root "/home/httpd/html/domain.com/"
php_admin_flag safe_mode on
php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/httpd/html/domain.com:/tmp/"



Recently I had a minor problem with a user that uploaded via ftp a php
script in his domain and this domain used exec/system etc to call
perl, read files.

Shouldn't the settings above retrict such thing ?

Re: [PHP] safe mode/open basedir not working ?

[robert mena]

Ok. It did not worked.  I had to create an empy dir.

Well, one problem.

Since I have users with ftp access and they host php scripts that
handle "file uploads".  The files are created with apache.apache and
are usually moved to the user's directory using move_uploaded_file.

Since the owner/gorup of the script would be foo.ftponly this would
fail due to uid differences.

How do I solve this ?  Change the user's group from ftponly to apache
and use the safe_mode_gid on ?

[PHP] Loosing session data between requests

[robert mena]

Hi,

I am facing a strange problem.  I have two servers (both Centos 4.5, httpd
2.0.52, php 5.1.6) and in one of them a webmail (uebimiau) looses session
data between requests and in another it does not.

I've compared php.ini from both with nothing different except for some
memory limits they are equal.

I've checked both /tmp and the session file sess_x in one server is
empty and in another has the data.  Both $_SESSION are ok (I've checked with
a var_dump).

What could it be?

thanks.

Re: [PHP] Loosing session data between requests

[robert mena]

Edward,

My session.save_path = "/tmp".

The sess_X is created but with no contents

[PHP] Help securing a server : Owned by W4n73d H4ck3r

[robert mena]

Hi,

One server that hosts several domains ended up with the message "Owned
by W4n73d H4ck3r".While still performing an audit I am very
confident that this was caused by a php script (it is a linux server)
uploaded via FTP or by a defective site hosted (perhaps vulnerable
version of a CMS).

The symptons seem clear, files owned by apache are vulnerable and the
attacker script scanned the web tree and started running.

So, basically two questions:
- how to detect where this came from
- how to prevent it from happening again

Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the reply.

I agree that there are steps that go outside php scope (chroot apache
etc) but I think this partially belongs to this list specially since
google shows that the same message (perhaps a copycat?) appears in
tons of sites.

I was hoping that someone already had tips regarding the php part
(like disabling some functions etc).

But since I am also copying you directly please feel free to email me privately.

Thanks again.

I could not find a consistent 'list' of configuration settings to
disable or change besides the register_globals.

[PHP] Improving development process / help with developer setup

[robert mena]

Hi,
I am looking for tips regarding improving the development process.  I'll
explain my current setup and please feel free to comment.

My developers all use windows + eclipse PDT, the workspace is hosted (via
samba) in a Linux server with Apache/PHP/MySQL.   I am in the process of
adopting Unit testing (PHPUnit2) and debug (Xdebug) so I have concerns about
how to property use this.

For example, in my current setup I'd have to enable SSH so they could run
the tests from the command line in the development server, but I am not sure
if I could remotely use Xdebug.

Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Improving development process / help with developer setup

[robert mena]

Hi,
Thanks for all answers.   Please let me add that I do use CVS (migrating to
 SVN) and the reason to use samba is that doing this allows the developer
machine (windows) to access the shares hosted in a linux server so when
he/she tests it will be run in the 'same' environment that the staging and
production servers and because in order to assure browser compatibility they
have to test from firefox/IE.

So, in order to allow phpunit to be ran, have the firefox/IE support and use
xdebug I have two basic options:
a) stay with windows, install XAMPP (or any other all-in-one).  And live
with the fact that some things will have to be taken care of (such as
PATH differences between unix/windows)
b) switch to linux with the development stack, enable a windows server to be
connected from rdesktop so they can test the IE

In both cases I'll have extra work in order to maintain the developer's
machine somewhat synchronized with the production server.

Am I missing a third/fourth (better) etc option?

thanks.

Re: [PHP] Improving development process / help with developer setup

[robert mena]

Hi Zoltan,

If the windows would be used just for IE I think it's cheaper to have one
windows machine (server 2003/2008), have the users connect via terminal
service (rdesktop).  I think it's easier than having to install/maintain
than multiple windows installations, even if it is a virtual machine.

[PHP] Tipos about which CMS use

[robert mena]

Hi there,

I'd like to replace my 'intranet' site with a CMS system to speed up
the edit process.  Some of my requirements are :

- written in PHP  :)
- mysql based
- documented/'well structured' - to allow development of customizations
- ability to define which pages or sections are public and which are
private (and in this case which users can access)
- use AJAX (not mandatory) but since some access to the page will come
from dial-up to reduce the need to transfer entire html just to update
a search or list contents..

thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.  I already use wordpress for my blog but not as a CMS.

I could not find, for instance, the hability to create users with some sort
of priviledge regarding reading/writing particular documents or areas.

Can you send me more info about it?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Wordpress.

Joomla/Mambo are also a good choice.

[PHP] Chat system

[robert mena]

Hi,

I am looking for a simple php chat system (no registration, no private
channels).   Unfortunately the ones I've found (phpopenchat,
phpfreechat) are too complicate, requiring the user to register or
fail to work properly in IE6 or IE7.

Any tips?

Hi Daniel,

Thanks.

How can the user chooses the nickname? How about the list of connected users?

I have a one that I started putting together a few days ago that
uses AJAX.  It can accept user registration, multiple rooms, et
cetera, but unless the files are included with the distribution, it's
a single room without registration.

Check it out: http://www.pilotpig.net/gchat/
