Hi,

First time posting. Did a quick search of the last 300 messages and
couldn't find any help. If there are any FAQs for this newsgroup, I could
take that and check those out.

My question... I want to create some great php code and install it on web
sites for my clients. Now, this code is my property and I'd like to keep it
that way. What are my options for securing this code from other eyes? I
will go into this deeper...

If I have php code sitting in someone's home directory(btw, I am using
linux), they can ftp to get it. Okay, So block FTP, telnet/ssh for that
user.

Now -- how else could that user get a hold of my code? They could exploit
an insecure php script and do a simple 'move *.php *.txt' and simply
retrieve the *.txt via http. However, this would probably be unlikely and
for the most paranoid.

What if even I had to keep FTP running? I could move the top secret PHP
scripts outside of a directory that the user didn't have FTP access to.
However, the user could run his php script from http to do a simple copy
../../*.php to *.txt.

So right now the problem seems to be that PHP code is hard to protect
because it is in plain text. There is a solution to that -- zend optimizer.
I looked into that a bit. Unfortunately it does not fit into the open
source category and is quite expensive (US$2,400.00 -- or maybe I
misunderstood and it is only 24.00 =). So that seems to be out of the
option for most people.

Let's step away from the interpreted languages and move to compiled code.
What are the options for creating compiled code and having that interact
with my PHP scripts that I don't mind others seeing. My compiled code would
be 'some great php[well not php] code' as shown in paragraph two. Compiled
code would be harder for someone to get at with ease. It is good enough for
me to work with. Of course for the most paranoid there are ways to
decompile code, but thats for the more paranoid =].

Basically, I have a bunch of classes I want to secure. PHP is plain text, a
nd that seems to be the insecure part about it. My original question was
going to be on how to get compiled code returning data to calls made from
PHP. For example: returning an array that PHP could understand from a c
program to a PHP script and then to the browser.

Hopefully, all the questinos I brought up and scenerios that were described
will pop some ideas in coder's heads. How do you guys protect code -- if
you do. What are other options that I missed.

Thank you,

Mike Hostetter

Neither does your philosophy of restricting access to your code. The Zend
developers make a good product that you can use to protect your assets.
If your code is worth what you make it out to be, look at the $2,400 as an
investment into yourself and your own code.

Mostly freeloading people. People who have code they value more than
$2,400 will glady ante up for the investment. People seeking optimization
of encoded PHP will ante up for the investment. Open source developers
who don't worry about that level of optimization don't really have a
reason to have their code encoded. Freeloaders want the Zend Encoder for
free (or cheap) so they can exploit Zend deveopers' code/product to
protect their own.

How many of your users are going to exploit your code?

What is the worst thing that would happen? some people would buy your code
and then set up a site www.come-get-mikes-great-code-for-free.com? Then
you become a well known programmer, and you make money consulting!

How does MySQL afford to develop such an outstanding product and just
"give" it away, source and all? How about PHP developers.

Besides, I am sure that many competent php developers would be able to take
the functionality of your classes - without looking at the source - and
create ones that work just as well - if not better.

If you want to hide your source from your clients, then go write your own
language, and go from there.

When I was in college, I wanted to cut out some gears from plexiglass in
the engineering lab. I was using AutoCAD 2000 for drawing them and an
Epilog Laser Engraver for the cutting. I went out of the web and found
some AutoLISP scripts for drawing exact gears. They were written for the
previous version of AutoCAD. They did not work (i am sure it was a minor
version issue). I am sure it was a simple error, but NO, they had to go
and encrypt the source code of a free script???? So I got screwed
over. BTW, I ended up drawing my own gears, but WHAT A PAIN.

All I ask is you consider the hard work that all the open source developers
put in for you, before you use their products to do what you are talking about.

If there's any local users having a shell on the machine you basically
can't protect your work. There are lots of localhost exploits in any
system.

It should be a totally dedicated server.

Write CGI script in a compiled language, C, C++ or INTERCAL, and run it
from your PHP scripts.

I think it's a strange thing to do, I think it's bound to end up being
either security through obscurity or a *lot* of extra work for you, none
of which is really smart IMHO.

A totally dedicated server where you have complete control is the only
thing ... and secure code, *always*.

I hope you found this useful. :-)

It might be in a .htaccess file, or it is remotely possible that the php.ini you are modifying is not the one php is using. Check the location in phpinfo().

Is there a nice way of merging variables belonging to an object into variables belonging to a class?

For example say I have a class like: ==== class Entry { var $entry_id; var $name; var $description_html; function Entry ($ent_id) { global $conn; $sql= 'SELECT * FROM entry where entry_id='.addslashes($ent_id)." AND live='t'"; $result=pg_exec($conn,$sql); $tmp=pg_fetch_object($result,0); $this->entry_id=$tmp->entry_id; $this->name=$tmp->name; $this->description_html=$tmp->description_html; } ====

having to do all the $this->x=$tmp->x is annoying (in my real example there are considerably more columns).

I'd prefer something like: ==== class Entry { var $entry_id; var $name; var $description_html; function Entry ($ent_id) { global $conn; $sql= 'SELECT * FROM entry where entry_id='.addslashes($ent_id)." AND live='t'"; $result=pg_exec($conn,$sql); oo_merge($this,pg_fetch_object($result,0)); } ====

I guess it's possible to write an oo_merge function in PHP using get_class_vars() and get_object_vars() as appropriate but I was wondering whether this would be generically useful and therefore worth having in the core language?

or,

it's possible this has nothing to do with the code and the umask on the 'problem' directory doesn't give you the permissions you need. you may need to check the permissions.

Perish the thought! ;-).

> try: > mysqldump $database $table |mysql -uuser -ppass -hhost

This is the correct way to do it, but it's likely a little confusing to a newbie and won't work in all situations depending on the server configuration so I'm going to try elaborating a bit...

First you need to dump your current data from your local MySQL db. mysqldump is the tool for the job, or you can use PHPMyAdmin if you have it installed locally.

1) Dumping your data

Using mysqldump:

$ mysqldump -c -u username -p databasename > outputfilename

'-c' will dump the database structure and all data. This way the database tables, their structure, and the data will be inluded in the output file.

'-u' should be followed by the username that has access to your local MySQL database

'-p' causes mysqldump to prompt for the user's password

'databasename' is the name of the database being dumped

'> outputfilename' directs the output of mysqldump to the file 'outputfilename'.

Using PHPMyAdmin:

Log into PHPMyAdmin and navigate to the main page for the database in question (ie click on it's name in the left frame). In the main window there should be the option to 'View dump (schema) of database'. Select the 'Structure and data' radio button and the 'Complete inserts' check box, then click 'Go'. You should now see a 'dump' of your database in the main frame of PHPMyAdmin (this is the same data that is created using mysqldump). Copy and paste everything from this screen (except for the highlighted title at the top of the screen) into a text file.

2) Importing your data to the remote MySQL server

Using the command line:

In order to import the data via the command line you must either have shell access on the remote machine or the remote MySQL server must be configured to allow your local machine to access it.

From a shell on your local machine:

$ mysql -u username -p -h remotehostname databasename < outputfilename

'-h' is followed by the host name of the remote MySQL server, the other switches have the same meaning as before.

'< outputfilename' is the name (and path if necessary) to the file that was created using mysqldump (or PHPMyAdmin) previously. The less than sign means that we are reading from 'outputfilename', whereas earlier the greater than sign mean that we were writing to the file.

From a shell on the remote machine:

First you have to copy your outputfile from the earlier mysqldump (or PHPMyAdmin) step to the remote machine. scp or ftp should do the trick. Once you've got your outputfile on the remote machine:

$ mysql -u username -p databasename < outputfilename

Basically this is the same as when it is done remotely, except without the -h switch.

Using PHPMyAdmin:

Log into PHPMyAdmin and if it has not already been created, create the database (but not the tables or their structure). Click on the database's name in the left frame.

In the main frame find the 'Run SQL query/queries on database databasename window. Below it you will see 'or Location of the textfile:'. Click on the 'Browse' button next to the form field and navigate to the output file created with mysqldump or PHPMyAdmin in the first step. Click 'Go'.

3) Open beer. Consume. Repeat :-).

I hope this helps. If you're stuck feel free to email, just remove the spam stuff from my addy.

BTW, what the first person suggested would work as long as the remote MySQL db server is configured to allow connections from your remote machine.

Greetings-

I'm currently working on a PHP script which passes file data through from the filesystem to the webbrowser. This is used for the purpose of sending files that exist outside the web root.

Generally this is a simple process-- opening the file and using the fpassthru command.

I have this working correctly. However ,the entire site is now using SSL and the script no longer functions. i.e.

http://www.myserver.com/sendfile.php?file=/whatever/whatever.doc

works without a problem but once the protocol changes to:

https://www.myserver.com/sendfile.php?file=/whatever/whatever.doc

it fails.

What am I missing that prevents me from allowing this script to work with SSL?

Thanks.

We ran a serious thread about "nested includes()" and I saw a lot of pseudo-solutions...

and I've just implemented one of them which I think is the best... but while I was doing it I realised it is more 'pseudo' than I tought... it worked finally.... but this is what I've figured:

MAIN INCLUDE PROBLEM: - if a file "a" includes "b" and "b" includes "c"... "c" won't have a path relative to "b"... so it won't work... (unless of course they are all in the same dir)

there's no 100% safe solution to work around nested includes with PHP... right? there's no way you can assure in every file, that includes another and another (and so on) in different dirs... that it's allways safe and you won't run into the MAIN INCLUDE PROBLEM.... and if you want to change some dir you will ever have to go through every file and change something...

well... my pseudo-solution was: if I had: /vitrine /vitrine/adm /vitrine/include /vitrine/templates

and in all these dirs I had files that can - or not - include files, and the includes also include more files... and so on... so I've placed a file called "include.conf.php" in /vitrine... and it should ALWAYS stay there (or at the bottom dir anyway)... so all I have to do is require() it in every single .php file I have... this file defines something like INC_DIR that can be added to any call to include or require... and this INC_DIR is the actual DIR not www absolute or relative...

but I can only require("include.conf.php") on what I like to call TOP files... I mean... files that cannot be include()ed... or the whole thing won't work anymore... which for now is no problem... but I'm sure I'll have problems with this in the future...

Using PHP on an Apache server, how do I capture and forward the entire contents of a POST exactly as it came in. Those familiar with paypal know that they offer the "Instant Payment Notification" where the paypal server will submit (to a predetermined page on your server) a POST containing all the variables and values of the paypal transaction. Instant Payment Notification then requires the page to return the entire POST exactly as it is received with one extra key/value on the end of it (for validation of information contained).

What I'm looking for is something similar to the $QUERY_STRING or something to that nature. I can break apart the POST using $HTTP_POST_VARS and then re-assemble it as a string and then URL encode it, but I'm not guaranteed that it is EXACTLY like the original.

Any ideas? Anyone ever used PHP for the PayPal Instant Payment Notification script?

Thanks in advance, Kurt

attached mail follows:

you can serialize the entire array $HTTP_POST_VARS, then urlencode() it, and pass it wherever.

you could also mcrypt() it after serialize() and then urlencode() it and then pass it wherever. This way, the contents would be more secure.

Also, you could just use base64_encode() - less secure, but completely unreadable by the human eye.

$datatogo = urlencode(base64_encode(serialize($HTTP_POST_VARS)));

$aPostVars = unserialize(base64_decode(urldecode($incoming_data)));

Hello,

In my PHP program, I have some processing to display items in a loop which is interspersed inside the Body of the HTML page. While doing this processing, if an error message comes up I "die" with the error message (Displays error message and quits).

The error handling works fine on Internet Explorer but shows a blank page in Netscape. I figured out that this is probably because all the HTML tags do not have corresponding end tags. So I tried outputting "</body></html>" before the "die" statement in the error handler. This did not seem to make a difference as there are still some open table tags, etc, ... which do not have correponding end tags.

How do I get the error message to print on Netscape? Doing all the error handling before the HTML starts is too much of a problem as I have to duplicate code.

Regards, Sharat

try a javascript work around, which will clear the page and write the error (when it occurs)

FYI,

There is a typo in the MS stuff for attachments:

header( "Content-type: application/msword" ); header( "Content-Disposition: atachment; filename=cv-984.doc" ); header( "Content-Description: Word CV Document" ); readfile ($tmp);

notice the single t instead of 2 t's in atachment. That was what was wrong. Works like a charm now :)

Thanks for all your help!

hi,

i have a select statement to give me the averages for various mysql columns. for one of the columns, i need to take the average for only those fields where the content !='6' (with 6 being a Flag telling me to exclude it). so i came up with the following select statement, which returns no mysql_error, but does not return the correct figure for the AVG:

SELECT AVG(q1), AVG(q2), AVG(q3), AVG(q4), AVG(q5), AVG(q6), AVG(q7), AVG(q8), AVG(q11), AVG(q16), AVG(q18!='6') FROM hr_form2 WHERE Answer != 0

from this i should get a return of something like this, since NONE of my fields in column q18 contain a '6':

AVG(q18) = 2.7143

instead, i get this:

AVG(q18) = 1.0000

could someone please tell me--is there a logical error in my thinking here? i want to select the AVG from q18 ONLY for those fields where q18!=6 : for those fields where q18=6, I just want it left out of the AVG.

there's definitely a better way to formulate my sql, right?

muchos gracias,

tom

attached mail follows:

first of all, when you do AVG(q18!='6') it will make the AVG of either TRUE=1, FALSE=0 maybe if you select q18, and AVG(q18) and when using the result query you decide from your PHP code whether to refer to the average or to its value... example:

$result = mysql_query(" SELECT AVG(q1), AVG(q2), AVG(q3), AVG(q4), AVG(q5), AVG(q6), AVG(q7), AVG(q8), AVG(q11), AVG(q16), AVG(q18) as avg_q18,q18 FROM hr_form2 WHERE Answer != 0");

<? while ($row=mysql_fetch_Array($result)) { if ($row['q18']==6) $value = $row['avg_q18']; else $value = $row['q18']; } ?>

hope it helps...

If it's posted data, why can't you access it from $HTTP_POST_VARS ?

i.e. you've posted a variable called "name", you can access it from $HTTP_POST_VARS["name"]

Yes, I'm not disputing that... all I'm asking is why you can't use $HTTP_POST_VARS ? If you post data to a PHP script using whatever post method you prefer, the variables should be in $HTTP_POST_VARS.

Double check the $HTTP_POST_VARS... something like

foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $value) { echo "$key : $value<br>"; }

should do the trick.

You're using the line "curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "this is posted data");" incorrectly.

To post a few variables, the option needs to take the form

"variable=value&anotherVariable=anotherValue"

e.g.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "variable=value&anotherVariable=anotherValue");

Hi All, I was just wondering if any of you have heard of a web language interfacing with COBEL. There is this potential client, who has an application already written in Cobel and wants to create a web interface for the functionalities. Is it even possible? Any input would be great! Thanks! Heidi

Hello

Is there a way to make a page autosubmit (autoredirect to another page with POSTing data) without staing in browser history? (Something like JavaScript: window.location.replace('url') but posting values.)

The situation is: Some other webserver has a form, which posts data to my webserver. I have to put it into my database and redirect the data (not by URL) back to the webserver which sent it to me (to "Thank You" page). The problem with autosubmiting form is that my webpage stays in browser history, so going back from "Thank You" page gets to my page again and autosubmits again. The problem with window.location.replace('url') is that "Thank You" page gets data passed by URL, which I do not want.

Please help me, and Thank You.

Don't know about posting data, but were you able to use GET, life would be easier...

You could redirect to one page, e.g.

Header("Location: mypage.html?variable1=test&variable2=notest");

And then in mypage.html you could have a line:

Header("Location: thankyoupage.html");

mypage.html wouldn't show up in the browser history.

The problem is, that 'topic.php?id=exit_id_values' still appear in URL.

executing this script results in a server message : Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function mcrypt_module_open() in /hotel/hodclub/WWW/kalender/testcrypt/testcrypt.php on line 8

Does anybody know if this error has anything to do with the script or the server on which it runs ?!?

Hi there,

This is small part of my code:

$output .= ("http://foo.bar.net/get_attachment?type=attachment&list=$listname&msg=$ msgid " . $parts['attachments_name'][$i] . "<br>");

But to my surprise the output it creates is:

http://foo.bar.net/get_attachment?type\tachment&list=mimetest&msgOfilena me.tar.gz

What could be the problem? It's not the browser as far as I know, because if I view the source of the page, it also has the weird characters. Also tried different browsers on linux & win32 platforms (you never know) and every time the same result.

Thanks,

Jeroen
