[PHP] security issues on shared servers

Re: [PHP] online tutorial

I originally learned PHP from the section in O'Reilly's book, Webmaster in a Nutshell. I did have extensive prior programming experience though. Since then, the PHP online manual has been more than sufficient. --Dave On Wednesday, February 19, 2003, at 07:10 AM, Awlad Hussain wrote: http://www

[PHP] safe mode not working

I've enabled safe mode on my local test server, but it doesn't seem to be working. If I run a script owned by one user (me), and within it include (using include()) another script or file owned by another user, the include is successful, whereas it shouldn't be in safe mode. I can verify throug

I'm working on a script that allows the user to upload several images, then base64 encodes them and attaches them to an email to me. I'm having trouble getting the images readable on the other end. I've managed to get all the MIME types and message parts straight enough to be recognized as sepa

[PHP] XSLT not doing anything

I'm trying to get the XSLT extension working, and all I can get it to do is echo the source XML back to me. I'm using sample markup from O'Reilly's XSLT book as my XML and XSL files, as follows: hello.xml: Hello, world! hello.xsl: http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
