Re: [PHP] Static methods vs. plain functions

I think that it would be more elegant if you are already in a OOP to keep the flow and stick to OOP. It just doesn't make sense to me in an environment that uses OOP to have functions laying around. Personally I like to group similar functionality together in their own objects, this way I can reus

[PHP] Static methods vs. plain functions

Hi, I am working on an OOP project, and cannot decide which way to follow when I have to write a simple function. For example, I want to write a function which generates a random string. In an OOP environtment, it is a matter of course to create a static class and a static method for that. But wh

Arno: If you can request that file using a web browser, and it gets executed as PHP on your server then there is an error in the Apache configuration. Easy test: create a file in a text editor containing some PHP ( would be enough) and upload it to the www root of your site and name it test.pgif.

Re: [PHP] Apache's PHP handlers

The best way to handle file uploads is to: 1) Store the filename somewhere in the DB, rename the file to a random string without extension and store the mapping in the DB as well. 2) When sending the file, set the header content to the filename and output the content of the file via PHP (ex: by re

For the past week I've been trying to get to the bottom of an exploit, but googling hasn't been much help so far, nor has my service provider. Basically a file was uploaded with the filename xxx.php.pgif which contained nasty php code, and then the file was run directly from a browser. The upload s
