You are talking about "here docs":

It's something goofy like:

<<<HERE Blah blah blah HERE

Either <<< or >>>

But you don't really need that...

Just use \ in front of the kind of quotes you are using on the outside part:

$foo = 'You need to use \\ in front of any \'apostrophes\' but not "quotes" inside here'; $bar = "You need to use \\ in front of any \"quotes\" but not 'apostrophes' inside here";

<? if ($QUERY_STRING == "") { session_start(); $_SESSION['tree'] = "green";

Change the line above to these two lines: session_register('tree'); $tree = 'green';

Think of $_SESSION (and the other $_XXX vars) as "read-only"

Use session_register() to say which variables should "live long and prosper" and then just use them like regular variables.

echo '<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>frame session test</TITLE> </HEAD>

</FRAMESET>

</HTML>'; }

if ($QUERY_STRING == "1.html") { echo "<b>This is just a dummy frame.</b>"; }

Just send a uniquid() with each <FORM>

One, and only one, "submit" can be allowed for that uniquid().

They can still work at it and go back and reload the FORM and then re-fill it out, and then submit again...

If you want to stop *that* you need to identify them, (cookies, sessions, whatever) and then time-stamp submissions, and then rule out submissions from the same person within a given time stamp.

You don't really need to re-direct for that...

In fact, it doesn't really stop a hard-core person from working around your re-direct anyway, unless you already are doing all the above...

And at that point, just spew out your error message about multiple posts, instead of re-directing.

Pretty much. I've wasted too much time trying to chase down the "paper trail" of re-direct after re-direct from badly-designed applications.

Unfortunately, some very popular software packages (which shall remain nameless) are rampant with this second "style" of coding.

Hey, I like the flexibility.

I just wish more PHP scripters were better programmers so there was a better quality of code out there, so PHP wouldn't be getting slagged for "security vulnerabilities" that are the fault of the programmer, not PHP.

If you do a lot of Location: headers, re-think your design.

Actually Richard, I'll have to disagree. I replied to Chris Shiflett privately but perhaps I should cc my reply to the group (it is rather lengthy & I hate cluttering mailboxes). The long and the short of it is that, after analysing the data returned to the browser from both ASP and PHP, there is a difference. Essentially, the redirect headers are identical (including the status code), but ASP appends the rest of the header including the "Set-Cookie" header and the Cache requirements. While some of this data is no doubt redundant it allows the the browser to process the cookie correctly. I tested this on numerous different browsers (IE, Netscape, Opera, Mozilla and NeoPlanet) and in all cases without exception, the ASP script worked and the PHP didn't.

Unless returning all the headers as ASP does totally deviates from the HTML protocol specification, why not make PHP a more well-rounded product and include this functionality? Just because using "goto" is bad programming practice and should be avoided (like the plague!), it has stopped it being included in most decent languages...

> Re-design and re-factor your code so you don't need to re-direct. :-)

Please understand that I am not defending ASP in any way - I am merely pointing out that there *is* a difference in the way that the two languages process the pages. Frankly, I believe that ASP is very poor as scripting languages go and have spent 3 months motivating a move to PHP. I am not however that proficient in PHP yet (although I already know more PHP than ASP) and cannot afford the time it would require to "re-design and re-factor" all of my code to avoid using redirects and accomodate PHP idiosyncrasies.

In my mind, the migration from one scripting language to another should really be a case of changing language syntax. It took three hours to convert all my code from ASP-based to PHP-based scripting. If PHP wants to gain market share, this is the kind of bonus a developer is looking for.

I agree 100%. There is no excuse for poor programming, and no substitute for good programming. But, that comes with experience in the language and as one learns the ins and outs of the environment one can improve one's code. And, since I don't do anything but sleep between 3am and 6am, I may just redevelop the legacy code into a better solution.. :)

Kind regards, Cord

Justin! That's a great idea. No one ever mentioned that to me before (and I've been on and off this list for months). Or actually, I think YOU mentioned it once but I didn't understand it.

So let me ask: do you have one giant script that validates all data, depending on the variables sent to it? Or do you have a "formcheck" script for each individual form?

This is a great way to stop someone from hitting refresh and resubmitting their POST data accidentally, since you've got that GET flag which basically says "do not process this form!" It's not -secure-, since anyone can remove this flag (even if you used POST), but it will work for Joe User to stop him from accidentally resubmitting.

No, you need to communicate directly with the SMTP server to authenticate. mail() has no support for authentication.

You may want to try this PHP Class that does exactly what you need:

It is better used in conjunction with this:

Dear All,

I was reading the post Re: [PHP] Setting a cookie and redirecting started 03 July 2002 02:54 in this news group.

If one is providing a redirection service (the likes of domain name only hosting with redirection support), but you have no access to facilities other than php. (An odd senario I'll admit). It seems to me that header location is a "godsend".

However,

1) does this HTTP protocol work with all browsers? 2) are there any complications that need to be addressed 3) is there an accepted best style of the header text to maximise multiple browser compatibility

4) should I be asking this in a different new group? Perhaps http.general? (if it exists)

Hi,

I searched through the archives and found the following snippit of code from Tim Converse from late 2000. This is great, but does anyone know how I can adapt this so I can return all values from a multidimensional array? I have an id number which corresponds to a record which I need to revisit once I get all possible combinations (not just the max which below gives us) and I do not want to lose the link between the id and the number. For instance:

$number[0]['id']=5; $number[0]['number']=500; $number[1]['id']=7; $number[1]['number']=500; $number[2]['id']=23; $number[2]['number']=750; $number[3]['id']=3; $number[3]['number']=1500;

$max is assigned the value 1350 in this example, so we know id 3 will be eliminated off the bat.

What I need to get back are the combinations of ID's where their corresponding number are less than or equal to value $max. So in this instance I might get something like;

5 7 23 5&7 5&23 7&23

I have spent about 40 hours in the last three days on this problem alone and I can honestly say I am stuck. You guys are my last hope. Please help a desperate man!

Thanks, Michael.

-~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~-

Tim's code:

// example use $best_sum = maximum_subset_sum(40, array(39,23,19,14,9,5,3,2,1)); print("Largest sum is " . array_pop($best_sum)); while ($value = array_pop($best_sum)) { print(" + $value"); } // will print "Best sum is 23 + 14 + 3"

-~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~--~=**=~-

attached mail follows:

The way I would tackle this is in several steps (and maybe combine them later?) Here goes - in pseudo code/point form

1. Find max 2. Find all array elements who's number in less than max 2a. create a temp array that holds these indexes 3. Do the ol' nPr (or is it nCr?) thingo on the temp array, then using that to refer the the actual array.

Thanks. I tried this on my Windows development server and got absolutely no output from these functions, so gave up. Now i'm wondering whether it's just a Windows-only bug: I'll have to look and see if my web hosting has this installed as it would be a smart option if it did work.

Using the unicode translation tables I built some kind of translation table which seemed to work, but it converted to utf-16 rather than utf-8, so everything showed as little squares rather than characters :-( Otherwise this would have worked nicely (contact me if you want more details).

Thanks Peter

I've been googling ont he topic for the past couple of days, and had no luck :-(

Peter,

What OS are you running this on...if you are on windows then uncomment the php_iconv.dll in your php.ini file and then you can see if you can run the iconv functions.

If you are running under unix/linux then you need to compile php with the iconv functions.

Example

./configure --with-iconv=/location/of/iconv

Iconv is a gnu app that you use for the conversions.

You can get more info GNU's website about iconv...

Perhaps this relates to the original question as an additional feature.

What would be the best way to offer SVG content from the main opening page? Since SVG requires a browser that has the approprite plugin or a dedicated browser, is it better to create a hyperlink or maybe have the SVG capability detected and content redirected automatically.

Another question. What is the best and lightest way to offer SVG content from the server side? Java seems real slow and resource hungry at sites I visit that use it.

Well I have a system that people can login to, and I want to produce an array (or something of the sort) that holds who is logged in so that I can monitor it. The problem is that sessions are local to the clients machine so if I tried to put this information in the session then the only information that I would get back is the people that are logged in on my machine, not the server (Please tell me if I wrong in what I say here). Therefore I need to be able to but this information in the session and have it available to all sessions (sort of like the way static variables in Java belong to the class and not the individual objects that are created from that class). So if you undersatnd what I'm trying to do here and know of a way to do it I would love to here it.

This has been discussed on the list before, and even I think just last week (so check the archives, using "server variables asp" as your search criteria). Some theories suggest that it would entail a lot of overhead, unless you only have a few users to keep track of simultaneously. Possible suggestions are

1) if the data doesn't change, put it into an includefile 2) if the data is dynamic, be clever and implement this yourself with database-managed persistence (but beware the overhead).

Here's a brain-bender ... At least it is for me at the moment. : )

When I use an XML parser inside a class, the xml_*_handler functions aren't recognizing "$this->" variables. I can kind of see why ... But would like it to work anyway. : )

Here's an example:

class Blah { var $xmlparser; var $current_element;

// ...

function _parseXML($data) { $this->xmlparser = xml_parser_create(); xml_set_element_handler( $this->xmlparser, array($this,"_xml_start_element"), array($this,"_xml_end_element")); xml_set_character_data_handler( $this->xmlparser, array($this,"_xml_character_data")); xml_parse($this->xmlparser, $data); xml_parser_free($this->xmlparser); }

function _xml_start_element($p, $e_name, $e_attributes) { $this->current_element = $e_name; }

function _xml_end_element($p, $e_name) { // ... }

function _xml_character_data($p, $data) { echo "element is: ".$this->current_element."\n"; echo "data is: $data\n"; }

} // end of class Blah

When this XML parser gets called from within the Blah class, the "element is:" portion of _xml_character_data comes out blank!

This sort of makes sense, because the callback functions are "children" of the xml_parser_create "parent" ... But should that make the children ignorant of the "grandparent" variables referred to by $this->varname?

I hope this makes sense ... Has anyone else encountered this sort of problem? I'm an old hat at PHP, but am relatively new to both XML parsing and writing my own classes.

returns nothing.

However, if I use ora_open, ora_parse and ora_exec everything works fine. I'm running on Compaq Tru64 ver 5.1. I compiled PHP with gcc 3.1. I'm not getting any errors or warnings and nothing is being logged in the Apache logs.

Try using a regular expression to go through each of the array elements, sending to one array if the first letter is [a-mA-M], to another if the first letter is [n-zN-Z]. If you're not searching by first letter in the array elements, and they are comma-delimited name sets, do it that way.

Hi all

How would I get recent stock prices in a page? I obviously need to get this from some source.

I am looking for local (South African) and international share prices for a portal-type system. What I will probably do (for the sake of speed) is have a cron job periodically fetch the relevant prices, and put them in a database. This will then be displayed from the database (I know - delayed stock prices are ok)

What I am really after is a method of getting share prices from the net. I have no idea about how to go about doing this - where to get them from, etc. Please help...

Thanks

Stick in some echo statements at strategic points in the loops to find out _where_ it is getting stuck.

"Somewhere" isn't very helpful. When asking for help be sure to include as much information as possilble.

Laying out your code so the structure can be seen...

<?php function urls_clickable($string) { for($n=0; $n < strlen($string); $n++) { if(strtolower($string[$n]) == 'h') { if(!strcmp("http://", strtolower($string[$n]) . strtolower($string[$n+1]) . strtolower($string[$n+2]) . strtolower($string[$n+3]) . $string[$n+4] . $string[$n+5] . $string[$n+6])) { $startpos = $n;

while($n < strlen($string) && eregi("[a-z0-9\.\:\?\/\~\-\_\&\=\%\+\'\"]", $string[$n])) $n++;

if(!eregi("[a-z0-9]", $string[$n-1])) $n--;

$link = substr($string, $startpos, ($n-$startpos)); $link = $link; $string_tmp = $string; $string = substr($string_tmp, 0, $startpos); $string .= "<a href=\"$link\" target=\"_blank\">$link</a>"; $string .= substr($string_tmp, $n, strlen($string_tmp)); $n = $n + 15; } } } return $string; }

$text = "http://www.somewhere.org <br><br>"; echo urls_clickable($text); ?>

It's getting stuck because you're moving the goalposts. It's a very bad idea to base a loop on a variable that is changed within the loop. I suggest you loop through one string while building a second string as the return value.

On the other hand, I seem to remember seeing a regex posted on this list recently that did exactly this. I suggest you search the archives for it because it would save you a lot of hassle.

Awww Nut! I post a reply a while ago and probably accidenly delete it instead of sending it. Dang! I hate this MS-Outlook software! Anyway! I"m not going to start over, so I'll be brief!

1) Check the file path, like "/usr/local/bin/curl" instead of "curl" as an example. Sometime environment variable couldn't be access that way.

2) I had that problem with different script, so I use "putenv("PATH=/usr/bin:");" so I can get the modem to work.

OK, here is where I am (between handling other pre-holiday/long weekend processese here);

I have the PHP script create a shell script containing the needed code for the cURL process. Of course the shell script will execute from the command line with me as 'root'. But the exec() that calls the shell script will not execute the script because of improper permissions. (Has to do with the permissions on the topmost directory for where the file lives, changing that could be dangerous from a security standpoint).

So I have tried to change those (I am on a Linux box) via the PHP, no luck. It will let me chmod the shell script via the PHP script. So I tried to move the script to /usr/local/bin;

rename("getlist.sh", "/usr/local/bin/getlist.sh"); Permission denied exec("mv getlist.sh /usr/local/bin/getlist.sh"); Permissiion denied exec("cp getlist.sh /usr/local/bin/getlist.sh"); Permissiion denied

I am looking into posix_setuid() to change the permissions for the time needed, but I've a feeling, after a couple of tests, that this is not going to be the way to do this either.

I wish permissions in Linux were more straigtforward. Anyone have an idea how to do this with opening the server wide? Thanks for all your help.

Jay

attached mail follows:

Check out setuid and sticky bits for the file permissions.

Remember that if you are running php under apache and you try the exec with a command php is running with apaches permissions. So apache needs to be able to run what ever you are trying to run with the exec command.

Hello Jay, That wasn't what i recommended you LOL :). Ok from the beginning PHP executes and writes files with permissions (like userid and groupid) Webserver is running. So what i think will be the best way for you to do. Is to create an executable with the same owner. and then execute it. As for /usr/local/bin directory it allows to write in it only to root or superuser. I recommend you to create a user like foo then in his home directory create a subdirectory like web and chmod it to 777. and use it as an output for the script. Got an idea? Also you always can use /tmp directory :)

Ah! I know what you're feeling about Linux. I had that problem using PHP and text editing software (for programming) with Caldera, like ftp timeout, security, file path, etc. It become too much for me, so I junked it and went back to AIX. I haven't tried it on Red Hat but I can easily turned off hte ftp timeout, etc. from there. Haven't tried PHP stuffs on Red Hat.

I'm not sure I understand you. You have a php script which creates a shell-script. Then you have a php script which exec('shell-script')? Assuming that the php script is run by the same user throughout then I don't see why it cannot exec your shell-script. Perhaps you can elaborate.

OK ...

> So I tried to > move the script to /usr/local/bin;

so why do you need to move it? Why can't you exec() it where it is?

Try hand writing a script then exec() it from php.

Bingo! That will work! This is what I do with the modem script. Since there's no PHP function or script for the modem, so I used the C programming that is already written by someone and just use PHP to execute the file.

Hi all, I have compiled PHP with Java support using the option ./configure --with-prefix="path to lib directory" --with-java="jdk path" on a virtual server. There is no problem with compilation. During compilation it gives Checking for Java Support yes . I made modifications to the php.ini file also. but when I tried a test php script <?php phpinfo(); ?> , I was not able to see anything related to java in the output file.

As the previous option was not working , we tried setting JAVA_HOME to jdk_path and used the option ./configure --with-prefix="path to lib directory" --with-java(without the jdkpath) . Even not I was not able to get anything related to Java. phpinfo() gives me the configure option as ./configure --with-prefix="path to lib directory" --with-java="jdk path" and not ./configure --with-prefix="path to lib directory" --with-java . Am I doing anything wrong ?

Then we removed all PHP related files for usr/local/bin and usr/local/lib and compiled PHP again. Even now we were not able to get that working ...

what are the steps to be followed to install PHP with Java support on a virtual server??? previously we had installed the same version of PHP on our local m/c and everything was working fine. The only difference is I am not using --with-prefix option when compiling on my local m/c . we don't have access to /usr/local/lib of the virtual server m/c and so we cannot put our ini file in /usr/local/lib.

What does "vetted" mean? I didn't see it in the Jargon File so maybe it's OT but I'm curious.

Submitted or filled in? i.e. do you want textbox1 to contain whatever is in textbox2 or do you want the form in file2.php to be submitted to file1.php? The difference is that in the first case no PHP gets to run when button2 is pressed, whereas in the second case file1.php gets to run with the data in the form in file2.php.

Even easier, though maybe requiring a tiny bit extra memory to deal with the array:

$arr = array(); foreach ($_POST as $key => $val) { $arr[] = $key . '=' . $val; } $str = implode('&', $arr);

Make sure you define $str = ""; before it enters the loop, othewise you'll throw some warnings if your error reporting level is set high. It's because $str is undefined on the first loop, yet your adding something to it.

I'm writing my first commercial site and of course I am thinking about security. I'm worried about someone using a flaw in my PHP script logic to access information they shouldn't.

I've read the PHP books I have and Googled around but can't quite find specific answers to my questions about PHP and security.

In general how does one go about hardening a PHP script. i.e. making it as "hacker-proof" as possible. General things like:

- verifying user inputted data - not putting clear-text passwords in php scripts - use "safe-mode"?

And specifically, what are some things one can do? Things like:

- use addslashes with user data - use mysql_escape_string for data submitted to mysql

"verify user inputted data" means nothing... you should take a specific example, like "make sure a text box is less than 500 words, contains only <B> <BR> <I> & <U> tags, and starts with a capital letter", and then let us help you solve it.

Obviously verifying a date is different to a password, verifying that a certain select box was selected is different from making sure that their phone number contains only numbers, etc etc.

The string functions will do most of this for you with very little effort.

empty(), isset(), strlen(), is_int(), is_str(), strip_tags(), ereg() & eregi() and many others will all help, but you need to approach them one at a time.

You should also be concerned about character sets.

If you wanna get anal about it, you should be using register_globals OFF in your php.ini file, and should be treating any $_GET var as unsafe, and same with all other such variables (cookies, sessions, post, etc)

> - not putting clear-text passwords in php scripts

A thread started in here about two weeks back with the subject "Keeping "Secrets" in PHP Files"... you should read that end-to-end... HEAPS of infomation.

> - use "safe-mode"?

I have no idea about safe mode.

This list really does work best (ie best results for you) if you come to us with a specific problem, rather than something general.

Turn off magic_quotes and do addslashes() explicitly every time you do a database insert. Then make sure you always stripslash() data returned from a database query.

magic_quotes is convenient for newbies, but after a while you'll find it only trips you up, as you've discovered.

I totally agree.

Security question: Is turning off magic_quotes and using strip/addslashes() a 100% effective solution against malicious user input?

attached mail follows:

Just pick one, and use only one. If you have magic_quotes ON, then you don't need addslashes, etc.

Hello Jean-Christian, The answer is NO NO NO. At the beginning you have talked about security. You have to realize that there is no 100% protection against hackers. Using strip/addslashes will help you to filter some user input not all. :) So try to pick one way and go that way. if magic quotes are turned on you want need addslashes if they are off you will need them.

You don't need to strip slashes from data coming out of a database. The only reason you add the slashes in the first place is to get the data into the database, the actual slashes don't go into the database.

I haven't discovered this....

Nothing's 100%, of course. It will make sure that your strings are treated properly, but slashes don't do anything for integers.

If you have a query like:

UPDATE admin SET something = 'this' where user_id = $user_id

Then using addslashes doesn't help you at all because $user_id doesn't have quotes around it. Since it's supposed to be an integer, it shouldn't have quotes, but you need to validate that $user_id is indeed an integer without any other data in it, otherwise you're open to SQL attacks.

Bottom line, validate everything from the user. POST, GET, COOKIE, etc... If it's supposed to be a number, make it a number with (int). If it's supposed to be a string, make sure it's had addslashes() applies to it, either through magic_quotes or manually...etc, etc, etc...

No.

Think about what {add|strip}slashes() does. It simply adds slashes to strings, and strips them from strings, depending on certain rules (like the location of apostrophes or other special characters in those strings).

There are far more ways for malicious users to insert their own input than I even know of, let alone know how to handle.

Consider using add/strip a requirement, not a security precaution.

Depending on your SQL query, and assuming that you have checked for more than one row before coding accordingly, then the answer is to loop through your results using a combination of while and the mysql_fetch_array function. (or another mysql result function of your choice).

That being said, without having seen your PHP code, we can't really tell you what exactly to do. This is a problem when using editors that "help" you to code.

The basic concepts for accessing MySQL and retrieving records are all in the mysql area of the manual, or in tutorials abound.

echo "<tr><td width=\"50%\">\n"; echo "$field1\n"; echo "</td><td width=\"50%\">\n"; echo "$field2\n"; echo "</td></tr>\n"; }

This will cycle through the rows, adding the values of field1 and field2 to the respective variables, then outputting table rows accordingly.

I haven't used DW Mx myself, I don't really like WYSIWYGs. But the way to do it is use a while loop.

// $db = your connection parameters // $sql = your query if (!$result = mysql_query($sql, $db)) { die('The query failed for some reason'); }

// this part goes through all the data in $result // and does something with that data on each iteration while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo $row_RsSingStanDailybb['DailyBB']; }

Say that the end-user closed the browser(s) without logging off. The $_SESSION can not be destroyed because the broswer(s) is closed. So, if hte end-user did log off and close the browser(s). How can I destroy the $_SESSION since the session_register() & session_destroy() can not be used with the register global turned off.

Thanks, FletchSOD

I am able to do this:

<xsl:for-each select="alot of stuff"> <form name="myform" action = "http:path to somewhere.php" method="post"> <input type="submit" name="insert" value="Boston"/></form> </xsl:for-each>

But would like to do something like this:

<xsl:for-each select="alot of stuff"> <form name="myform" action = "http:path to somewhere.php" method="post"> <input type="submit" name="insert" value="<xsl:value-of select="."/>"/></form> </xsl:for-each>

I know the latter does not work, so how do I correct it?

Thank you,

Yea,I understood. But my question is: is right that my Document_root (shown in phpinfo) is /var/www/html/ and not /var/www/html/mysite? And if isn't right where I can change this? tnx again

I'm not sure -- is that the directory that you want to be your document root? I doubt it from what you're saying but nobody else has any way of knowing.

If you want your document root to be /var/www/html/mysite and it is currently something else, you need to set your httpd.conf file differently. Or perhaps a .htaccess file can be used. (This is assuming you are using Apache.)

Go to www.apache.org and read the httpd documentation there for more information about setting up the document root in httpd.conf.

Hi there, this is my first time posting. I've set up the event calendar script that http://www.php.net uses on their front page. The only problem I'm having is getting the information from the mysql database to the backend.csv file that it uses. Everything is working properly included the submitting of the events, and the data is being imported correctly. Has anyone used this script before, or maybe has some ideas on what I need to check? Thanks in advance.

The HTML source looks perfect. This might sound like a stupid question but is there any way that you can look at the source (data) that is being passed to PDF? Maybe something is being screwed up in the array that you are building... The error is definitely consistant which seems to indicate that it's not simply a PDF quirk..

"man htpassswd" shows it can be MD5, crypt or SHA.
