You can do what you want, but the method is to use Scheduler to run a
PHP script through php.exe or the php-cli.exe (command line interface)
file.

So, the program you'd type in for Scheduler to run would be something
like:

C:\php\php.exe -q c:\path\to\php\file.php

-q will suppress the headers. Your file.php should not output anything,
as it'll be a machine running it and no one can see the output anyhow.

Sorry, I don't know that. I know that Perl has some regular-expressions, but php has this, too.

Well, it depends ;-) Generally: Yes. But you have to let a web-browser (like apache) process the php-script.

PHP is quite perl-ish, and supports some extended functions borrowed
straight from Perl.

%
% As for the script below, could I run it inside a (my) browser? This could be in any browser?

A browser won't run a php script; in a web surfing context it's the
server that runs it, just like a mod_perl script.

Just like Perl, though, you can

php /path/to/myscript.php

from the command line (if you built php to not only install a web server
module but also generate a standalone executable) and away you go. You
might want to use -q to turn off the http header output.

So the short answer is "no", but don't let it throw you.

Is there a better way to do this in PHP? It seems that a single number (key) and single name (value) would lend itself perfectly to an (indexed or associative) array. I would think there is some PHP API call that I'm unaware of that will just take the whole result set and stuff it into an array for me no? If not, there should be. Perfect for things like ListBoxes, or table lookups so you don't have to hit the database constantly with joins et. al.

$sql = "SELECT id, name FROM mytable ORDER BY id"; if ( !($result = mysql_query($sql,$link)) ) { echo "failed\n"; } while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC)) $myarray[$row['id']] = $row['name'];

That's the way to do it.

Hi,

After a day and a half of pounding my head against the wall I believe I've identified the source of the problem. When I create and register the session in my login page - it does not carry forward to any other pages. I've found this by going through several different tutorials for making password protected areas using PHP and Sessions that I've found both online and in books - all produce the same result on the server with attitude - yet all work on all other servers I'm currently using for my hosting.

So, since this is an eCommerce site for my client and they're getting increasingly impatient with the progress made I'm left with little choice in this matter - as moving the site now would be unthinkable, and tech support at the hosting company is less than stellar, and generally not in English. Are there any obvious PHP settings that I'd need to adjust to ensure that Sessions can be carried forward to additional pages? My only other option now is to force my client to login to each screen in the admin area (conceivably this could mean the client would need to log in to a minimum of 8 different pages to observe their records and make changes to the site).

I'm at the point of desperation and sleep deprivation ... If there are no obvious PHP settings that need to be altered - what else could be producing this problem?

Thanks -Tim

Does the simple example from the manual work? If not, what does the php.log say? If it does work then what does your code look like?

What is the config of the "server with an attitude"? phpinfo()? Did you check for any differences between that and the servers that do work?

I used to have the same problem(sort of) I am not sure if my solution applies to you.

Here is what i did,

to pass session to one page to another you must call session_start(); ON EVERY PAGE

to access registered session variables use the session super global array like: $_SESSION['userid'];

Sorry if it's not relevant.

Hi,

I'm using PHP 4.1.2 on the server with problems - it's hosted on a shared server and thus I have no direct access to much of anything. I have had this script running on versions 4.0.6 thru 4.2.2 with no problems until now.

Here are the settings attained from phpinfo(); for the server that does not work - 4.1.2 ... and from the server that does work 4.2.2

After the Configure Command of each is a list of settings that differ.

Much thanks for responding so quickly and at such a late hour!!

Are globals turned on or off.. I don't see that setting in your copy and paste.

Are you trying to access the session vars as $name or $_SESSION['name']??

Again, does the simple example from the manual work? If it works we can eliminate config settings and concentrate on your code.

Yes, the examples from the manual do work on the server using PHP 4.2.2 - however they do not work on the server using PHP 4.1.2.

I've been using this same script for many sites with PHP versions 4.0.6 thru 4.2.2 with no problems until now which leads me to believe that I must attempt to change a PHP setting through .htaccess since it is hosted on a shared server.

I've tried the example from the manual on several other sites - works everywhere but on this problem server.

Wasn't it 4.1.2 that had broken sessions? I remember one version that came out that was just broke and you had to do a bunch of workarounds to get things to work normally. Was that it?

Are you using the $_SESSION array or relying on register_globals?

There is some discussion as to whether my globals are on or not ... I am using session_register to name my sessions, and then the global command later on on the individual pages to remember which session it is we're looking for.

It would be simply priceless if sessions were broken in 4.1.2 - and make much sense in the long run.

It's time to see some code :)

Does sessions work at all for the other people on your shared server? Ask your host whether anybody else has complained.

> PHP 4.1.2 (doesn't work) > '--enable-mm=shared'

Would this have anything to do with it? Apparently there could be problems with storing sessions in mm:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=104311365417871&w=2

Check in php.ini whether sessions are file based or using mm.

No no no... check the output of phpinfo(), or check your php.ini file to see if the directive "register_globals" has a value of ON or OFF.

This is more than likely the problem I think.

Also check the same value on your local machine.

Yes, I believe you're right -- but on Windows only. Sessions in that specific version of PHP were accidentally read-only -- so you could appear to set values in the session, but they'd never show up in subsequent pages...!

Bug reports http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16043, http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16102 and http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=16202 are relevant.

Sorry I'm a bit late in on this thread but I know there is a problem with sessions with 4.1.2 with IIS 5 over Win2K... is that your platform? I encountered it a while back and there is a hack/workaround which I can dig up if you need it...

Hi, I'm working on a project. It uses large sql data to create pages. Last week I create some kind of cache info to create faster execution. It really works (system runs more than 10 times faster)

But stroring cache data is problem. I use the session to store cache info. With using cache data session files growing 60K, I think it can be 100K or more.

I need advice about using large session data. Or is there any way to store large array (10 or more dimestion) into memory or someting.

Thanks.

Create a script that reads the contents of a file after sending headers eg:

header("Content-type: text/plain"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=downloaded.txt"); readfile("downloaded.txt"); exit();

The downloaded.txt can be any file subject to sending the correct headers and IE and other browsers will pop up a download (save) window.

See your mime.types file for headers for each file type.

Change the link to form_download.php then create a file called form_download.php and do this:

<?php

header("Content-type: application/msword"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=form.doc"); readfile("form.doc"); exit();

That will do it for you.

Also you should reply to all and include the list when replying so all get to see how to do these things.

You can't have the 'attachment;' part in IE. It did some funky stuff

and netscape 4 would die without it.

Hi Group,

I basically have some simple code such as:

==================================================

if ( $_POST['passwd'] != $db['password'] { header("Location: loginfailed.html"); }

//else

$header = "Location: success.html";

==================================================

however, when I run this code, using a <FORM> to submit password, username, etc...... if the passwords do not match, the page is forwarded to success.html !

Is there anything obvious that I am doing wrong?

Thanks, Shams

p.s. I don't want to use else{} because I have lots of if() checks!

Others may do differently, but on a dial-up line, I'm not going on-line to look at a URL often, so code pasted into you email would be likely to get more people looking at it. I'm afraid that there are just too many posts to do that.

Seems fine except that the special case of when you are expecting more than one but only one exists. It is no longer an array. Either extra code to handle it, or what I often do is add a hidden dummy element of the same name to force an array.

"select count(risk_level='low') as lowCount, count(risk_level='moderate')as modCount, count(risk_level='high') as highCount "

Which will return, lowCount = 1 , modCount=3, and highCount=1, for table with

How do you do it? Can tha be done?

When I run the code above, I get the same number for each record. i.e. lowCount, modCount, and highCount all come out to 5--which is the number of records in the table.

Is this possible, or should I just run multiple queries? Please help.

off the top of my head SELECT risk_level, COUNT(risk_level) AS rl_count GROUP BY risk_level should do it, though I'd have to experiment with what's inside the COUNT().

There is at least one class at www.phpclasses.org which allows you to use SMTP-AUTH.

Oracle does its quote-escaping different! To insert a single-quote within a single-quoted value, you have to double it, so:

$query = "UPDATE ACTIVITY SET COMMENTS = 'That''s right' WHERE ...";

So, you either have to run a str_replace("'", "''", $updatecomments) before constructing the query, or you can use addslashes() and turn on the magic_quotes_sybase option -- if you do the latter, and also have magic_quotes_gpc and/or magic_quotes_runtime turned on, "magic" quoting will also escape with a second quote rather than a backslash.

Cheers!

Hi, all --

If I have an associative array

Array ( [t] => Array ( [t1] => temp1 [t2] => temp2 ) [f] => Array ( [f1] => foo1 [f2] => foo2 ) )

and I want to change the key 't' to, say, 'tmp', is there a way to change it or do I have to use the brute force

$a[tmp] = $a[t] ; unset $a[t] ;

approach?

I expect that, however it's done, it works the same way on just a 1-d assoc array like

Array ( [t1] => temp1 [t2] => temp2 )

but in particular I have the 2-d array case that I need to play with today.

My first question back would be why you create on array with keys you know you want to change, or why in that case it became necessary to dereference the original key.

$a['tmp'] =& $a['t']; // exact same values by reference (no copy)

Only other way I can think of at the moment is to create a copy and unset the original as you described as brute force.

A fair question :-)

I'm writing a picture gallery add-on which will allow users to create "favorite pictures" baskets. For each basket, the user throws in a bunch of pictures in an array. Then I make an array of baskets, where the name of the basket is the key and the array that is the basket is the value.

When a user wants to rename a basket, the new version of that basket appaers at the bottom of the list instead of in its original place -- wherever that was.

% % $a['tmp'] =& $a['t']; // exact same values by reference (no copy)

I don't think I can do this, since I eventually save the array of arrays to a file for the user to reload on another visit. Thanks, though.

sort(array_keys($a))

Ok. I think that the getter is *totally* wrong but I'm not able to debug it, because it's private (I think...). Also the stringConvert() method sucks, maybe I'll split it in some others accessor methods, for a better design. Now I'm totally lost, I don't have a clue how to continue, I've tried for hours and hours to make it work, but didn't succeed :( Any suggestion on improving and other enhancment for a good form validating class is really really appreciated.

Yes, it works. I misunderstood the visibility of $HTTP_POST_VARS. Thank you Joseph ! I really appreciate your help :)

I've read the paper from OWASP and now I'm a little paranoid about form validating and user input... does someone have other suggestions about improving the class ?

Nicholas,

I think I know where you found this code. I have the same code, except I modified it a little to work for me. You may need to change it for your needs. When I first used it, it didn't work. I had to modify it to make it work. My code is usually kind of sloppy, but maybe you would get better use of the following class:

<?php

class FormValidator {

var $_errorList;

function FormValidator() { $this->resetErrorList(); }

function isEmpty($field, $msg) { if (trim($field) == "") { $this->_errorList[] = array("value" => $field, "msg" => $msg); return true; } else { return false; } }

function isZero($field, $msg) { if($field == 0) { $this->_errorList[] = array("value" => $field, "msg" => $msg); return true; } else { return false; } }

function isString($field, $msg) { if(!is_string($field)) { $this->_errorList[] = array("value" => $field, "msg" => $msg); return false; } else { return true; } }

function isNumber($field, $msg) { if(!is_numeric($field)) { $this->_errorList[] = array("value" => $field, "msg" => $msg); return false; } else { return true; } }

function isInteger($field, $msg) { if(!is_integer($field)) { $this->_errorList[] = array("value" => $field, "msg" => $msg); return false; } else { return true; } }

function isFloat($field, $msg) { if(!is_float($field)) { $this->_errorList[] = array("value" => $field, "msg" => $msg); return false; } else { return true; } }

function isError() { if (sizeof($this->_errorList) > 0) { return true; } else { return false; } }

function getErrorList() { return $this->_errorList; }

function resetErrorList() { $this->_errorList = array(); }

}

Sorry... I forgot to mention that I use PhP 4.2.2 on my GNU/Linux Box but I have PhP 4.0.6 on the production machine, AFAIK $_POST is a 'feature' of PhP 4.1.x ... Thanks for your help, I'll try to be more accurate next time...

Hi all. I am having some problems with a script which reads information from a database and creates a table. It works in IE but not Netscape. I call myself going through the tags to make sure all that were open were closed because Netscape doesn't like unfinished business. What I have is a script that outputs the previous page, 1, 2, ..., next page link (if there are more than x table items per page). It has worked in both browsers but now I have broke something. :o) Any ideas are appreciated. The code is like this ...

<?php

function pagelinks($prev_page, $num_pages, $next_page, $page) {

// This displays the "Previous" link if ($prev_page) { echo "<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?page=$prev_page\">< Prev</a> | "; }

// No need to output the page number if there is only one page if ($num_pages>1) { for ($i = 1; $i <= $num_pages; $i++) { if ($i != $page) { echo " <a href=$PHP_SELF?page=$i>$i</a>"; } else { echo " $i "; } } }

// Display the "Next" link. if ($page != $num_pages) { echo " | <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?page=$next_page\"> Next ></a>" ; } }

This code is at the top of an include file which is included in pics.php. It seems that $PHP_SELF is interpreted differently in *some* instances between the two browsers. I can't figure it out because PHP_SELF is a server side evaluation. The links are output correctly in IE ... http://www.xyz.com/pics.php?page=2 ... but in Netscape I get ... http://www.xyz.com/?page=2 I had this problem once before and inadvertently fixed it with something else that I was doing. Any hints are appreciated.

TIA,

Bill

Most likely $PHP_SELF is in fact blank. If you're using a relatively new version of PHP use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead.

Dunno much about your code (I haven't taken the time to really read it), but you could be missing pics.php under NS if the server will hand that up as a default index name (or if you have an index.php as a copy). That is,

http://www.xyz.com/

might be a perfectly valid link to your script. Meanwhile, you're right that PHP_SELF (in either form) is a server-side variable and the browser won't ever see it.

Nearly every time this happens, you have invalid HTML.

Try stripping out all of the HTML, leaving only the plain text content of the page in question. Then, slowly add back the markup, testing each change.

Also, never test in IE unless you have a restricted user base that is only going to use IE. It is one of the most lenient browsers with regard to standards, so it will just give you a false positive.

it can be usefull to test the resulting html

valid html is much more likely to appear consistent across browsers

Hi every body. I have a form that was originally working just fine. It had a series of input checkboxes with the same name ("interests[]"). These values then ended up in an array ($_POST['interests']), which I then imploded into a comma separated list ($interests = implode(', ', $_POST['interests']); ). Well, that was working just fine until yesterday when I started getting an error on that implode function ("Bad arguments to implode()"). So I did a "gettype" on $_POST['interests'] and it revealed that it is now ending up as a "string" variable. So I printed it and it contains the string "Array"!

Anyone know what's going on here?

Well, in the process of pulling out some code into a sample page to send to the list I found the problem. It was yesterday when someone who was testing it told me about the problem, but the problem must have been going on for a week, because a week ago I added code to a global include script that checked to see if magic quotes was on and then did a stripslashes on all the values in $_POST if they were. So that ended up doing a stripslashes on the string "Array" and replacing $_POST['interests']. So I expanded the routine that striped the slashes so that it checks first to see if the element is an array.

I have a small site in development which takes details of coming church services from a MySQL database. This bit is at the bottom of http://www.rugbyurc.org.uk/spirit/spirit_intro.php (hosted by an ISP) and works fine.

I've just got OSX working on my Mac and want to get the site running on that so that I can develop it further. I am using the code below (this is a much reduced version of what's on the live site), but getting no data. Nor am I getting any error message.

I can access and use the database from Terminal. I can also get the data from the same query using Lasso (a middleware program similar to php), so I know the data is there to be found.

Any suggestions about why the data is not showing up in the browser with php will be much appreciated.

I have never done a script that supports resume but this is the logic you need to follow to work out the protocol behaviour.

- Create a download script as per below start downloading then stop the web server. - Change the script to e-mail you the headers from the script request. - Restart the web server and tell Get Right to resume.

You should now know what it sends and you simply need to read in the file to that point in the data and start the stream again.

I hope this helps. (Trial and Error)

Instead, find out exactly what headers it is that Getright sends. Store the resume point in $resume_bytecount Then, have your script do something like this:

/** Send the appropriate HTML headers **/ /** Do this instead of the fpassthru **/ $filesize = size($filename); $fp = fopen('$filename','r'); while ($byte_count < $resume_bytecount) { fread($fp,1); $byte_count = $byte_count + 1; } while(!feof($fp)) { print(read($fp, 8192)); flush(); }

Simple, read the file until resume point Then, send the file with an 8k blocksize (standard I believe, change as necessary)

Hello all,

I'm trying to replace a tag with an include in a template scenario. For example:

str_replace("<!--linkTag--!>", include "links.php", $string);

This obviously doesn't work, but I'm wondering if anybody knows of a good way to do this.

Thanks a bunch,

I'd recommend looking at the output buffering functions. Something like this would probably work...

ob_start(); include("links.php"); $file = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean();

The result of parsing and executing links.php will be in $file. Do with it what you will.

There a few ways of doing this but the following is one of the easier and quickest off the top of my head.

If you know the name of the tag and the include this will work if you don't or want it to be dynamic you will need to have some reg for the following. (how are you getting the $string)?

// $string holds your html page you wish to replace

ob_start();

include('links.php');

$links = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

str_replace('<!--linkTag--!>', $links, $string);

echo $string;

I hope this gives you a direction.

Thanks a lot, I think that will be the trick, but I'm still having a bit of a problem.

Here's my scenario:

class mainReplace{

function feedLinks(){ ob_start(); include('links.php'); $file = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return $file; } }

$replace = new mainReplace;

$read = str_replace('<!--feedLinks--!>', $replace->feedLinks(), $read); print $read;

Unfortunately, this is not printing the results of the file include where is should have been replaced. If, however, I say: print $replace->feedLinks() it prints out the results.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again,

I hope this is not too far OT, however, you are the best resource I have for PHP and if anyone would know, it would be you guys. I have been writing scripts off and on for the past year and have an application written in PHP for a business' internal use. I have used snippets of Object oriented code from other people here and there to get by and I have read information on OOP in a couple of different places. However, my mind apparently works different and I keep trying to relate the OOP structure to what I already know which equates an object to a function. I am resolving to purchase a book dedicated to instruction in the inns and outs of OOP. Specifically at it relates to PHP would be great but my emphasis is towards something that teaches someone that is stubborn in his reliance on previously learned methods. I hope this makes sense and I'm not alone on this. :) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My only suggestion is that you re-consider why you want to take up OOP. If a procedural approach works for you, go with it. It's not like we're building air traffic control systems here ;)

You'd be better off trying to equate an object to a data type.

Why is that? Please explain? I do not mean to sound trite. I do not know and am very curious to hear more.

Consider two approaches to extending your procedural programming knowledge to OOP.

Think of an object as a user-defined data type (that also includes functions).

Think of an object as a bunch of functions (and some variables).

The second is awkward and doesn't capture the purpose of OO.

The real beauty of OO is that it is "data centric" and it allows the member functions of an object to be easily testable black-boxes.

Good luck!

The only reason I feel the need to expand my understanding is that I have to learn other concepts to produce my client's solutions. For instance I am now being asked to use SOAP to communicate with a vendor of his. Now I am reading about SOAP and frequently the descriptions rely on the reader's understanding of OOP. I can individually scrutinize a description and break it down to its elements. Then I can picture what is being said, but without having used those methods in my code, it is frustrating reading. I don't know that SOAP is in and of itself OOP but people that write about it use OOP based consepts to exlain what is happening. And this is one example. Don't let me go into the Java and Javascript world!

The easiest way for me to explain and understand OOP was to think of it this way.

You have an object and in that object contains functions that only pertain to that one object. See diagram below.

Object1 | |_____ function1 | |_____ function2 . . .... etc

Object2 | |_____ function1 | |_____ function2 . . .... etc

Note: Inside an object you can have functions that have the same name as other functions inside another object. This makes life really easy if you have to share code with someone because if you are totally procedural/functions you might have some functions with the same name and then your code won't work. However, if you place your functions inside an object you can avoid this problem all together.. kind of nice isn't it? :)

Anyway, that's how I explain OOP in a nutshell to people that don't understand. Just don't forget there are a TON of other things about OOP but once you get the basic idea of how it works down (like this) then the rest is pretty easy to pick up and understand.

Hope this helps!

Is it possible to use array_sum to add up values in multidimensional arrays? I have an array like:

$array[0]["VALUE"] = 10; $array[1]["VALUE"] = 8; $array[2]["VALUE"] = 5;

$array[0]["OTHERVALUE"] = 20; $array[1]["OTHERVALUE"] = 15; $array[2]["OTHERVALUE"] = 9;

Do you have any programming or scripting experience? If you know even a bit of something it's generally helpful when you want to pick up something else.

I speak perl and shell well, do a lot of scripting, and can read some C (plus other things that have faded into memory :-) When I hadn't yet met php at all, a buddy bought me the PHP Developer's Cookbook from SAMS and it was easy to understand and presented some useful examples, and I was able to get started and do the work he wanted me to do (when I tried twice to thank him for the book he told me to shut up because "it's a self-serving gift" :-) It's no "Learning Perl", but then again it isn't supposed to be.

Having worked my way through that, currently my only reference is the php manual from the web site; a quick search will take me to any function that I want to use, and only rarely am I stumped with a "how would I even approach this task?" problem -- and then this mailing list is wonderfully helpful.

PHP 4.3.0, Apache, Win32.

I'm driving myself mad trying to work out why I can't get HTTPS pages. I understand there are two options, using fopen() with openssl installed, and using curl. I've installed openssl extension, but using fopen STILL won't work. Don't have a clue why. Using curl, I can get the page easily enough, but I can't put it into the file. If I try to set a file resource to save it to, Apache crashes.

Here's the error message I get using fopen("https://[securewebsite]", "r");

Warning: fopen(https://blahblahblah) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in blah\blah\blah.php on line 50

And when I try to use Curl to save the https file, I get this:

APACHE caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0187:bff7b9a6. Registers: EAX=00000000 CS=0187 EIP=bff7b9a6 EFLGS=00000246 EBX=02af796c SS=018f ESP=0167f398 EBP=0167f3b0 ECX=00fe6770 DS=018f ESI=7803b730 FS=19a7 EDX=7803b710 ES=018f EDI=100be740 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: ff 76 04 e8 13 89 ff ff 5e c2 04 00 56 8b 74 24 Stack dump: 00000032 00fd5131 7803b730 00fd523b 7803b710 00000032 00000001 00fc1ee8 00ff48ac 00000001 00000032 7803b710 00000032 00ff4240 00ff48ac 00ff4801

Here is the code I'm using at that section:

$ch = curl_init ("https://blahblahblah"); $fp = fopen ("output.txt", "w"); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_exec ($ch); $ce = curl_error($ch); curl_close ($ch); fclose ($fp);

This is really driving me mad, someone please help :-(

Hi Jonathan,

Don't know what the problem is, but other people seem to have the same problem. Read the user note on the bottom of this page: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php

I guess you use some webserver, let's take apache. Apache's mime.conf has set several extensions, also php extensions. So only .php, .php3, .php4 files will be parsed by php.

Your instincts serve you well.

There are two types of attacks to worry about in this situation, depending on who can see this "image". If only the user who submitted the URL can see it, then your users only risk CSRF attacks, which are not very common (yet) but are very dangerous.

If everyone can see the "image", then your application is also at risk of XSS.

If you realize that an embedded image is requested separately by a Web client, you can see that this basically allows an attacker the opportunity of forcing another user to visit a URL of the attacker's choice. For example, consider an image that looks like this:

A browser will try to load that image by sending a request for that URL to bookstore.xxx. So, every user who happens to have a prior relationship with bookstore.xxx (maybe they have one-click ordering) will unknowingly purchase HTTP Developer's Handbook. All the victim will see is a broken image.

Even if you check for file extensions, the attacker can have a URL that looks legitimate but is really a PHP script in disguise (their Apache treates .jpg as PHP, for example) and uses header("Location: ...") to redirect to the URL mentioned above.

Also, this same attack can be used against one of your users to make them unknowingly submit such a URL to your site. Thus, even if you only show the image to the user who submitted it, that user may still be a victim.

For more information on CSRF, check out http://www.tux.org/~peterw/csrf.txt.

For more information on XSS, check out http://httpd.apache.org/info/css-security/ and http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2000-02.html.

My advice would be to require human intervention in the way of a moderation system. Even with this, a URL that returns an image today may not tomorrow. A safer alternative might be to host the images yourself, so that you can check that they are in fact images.

Good luck.

I agree that there are risks - but I do think this can be done safely

if you make sure the user cannot insert javascript into the page, there isn't much cross site scripting that can be done.

and make sure they can't insert quotes which would end the quoted string in the html page.

is there really any site which will accept a book order based an a sigle GET ?

I guess stripping the query string would be safest... but its a balance betwwen security and functionality ...

please send replies to the list ...

and you cant tell what type of file will be returned by the url

it is easy to set up a server to treat a file named foo.gif as a php file (or whatever)

even if you tested the url by attemting to download the file it would be easy to write a script that would return an innocent gif to requests originating for the webservers ip address - and anything else to the rest of the world.

I'm not sure what harm could be done by this though.

if a broswer attempts to load an image reference by an <img tag - but finds an unsuitable type of data - I would expect it simply to ignore it...

but this would be worth testing.

I sent a response about this earlier, but you should research CSRF and XSS.

It does not matter that the browser shows a broken image if it has already sent the HTTP request. There is no special HTTP request for checking whether the Content-Type is really an image without the receiving Web server taking any action. A GET is a GET.

Is there a way of finding if a table exists with only one command in MySQL? I've looked through the MySQL functions, and the closest I've gotten to what I need is mysql_list_tables or mysql_tablename (I'll have to check into these a little more), but I was hopefully looking for something that returns a boolean value, and to be able to use it like:

if(mysql_table_exists("tablename")) { ... }

Any ideas, short of creating my own function?

Create your own, or borrow mine:

function tableexists($tbl) { $res = mysql_query("SELECT 1 FROM $tbl LIMIT 1"); return ($res ? true : false); }

Also, speaking of detection, I made a small script that can protect against people downloading your site's forms, modifying their new local copy (and putting an absolute URL in the form's ACTION attribute), and then posting data using the botched form. If it's bulletproof, then I figured this could help some of you out. If not, I welcome comments (I'm a little bit hesitant of calling things 'bulletproof'). $http_referer (lowercase) is the parse_url() of $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]. Some local mucking up can give you the format you want for it.

if((count($_POST) > 0) && (!stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"], $http_referer))) { unset($_POST); $evil = "postedfromoutsidepage"; }

Then, you can test for $evil when you need to print an error message or decide whether or not the data is proper.

HTTP_REFFERER is sent by the client and is not a secure value

it is easy to write a script in eg PHP that will fetch a web page with a completely bogus referrer url...

some people argue that cheching the referrer url 'raises the bar' security wise - personnaly I think this sort of illusory security leads to complacency in data checking.

I think it is better to always remeber that data can be posted to your server by many means - treat all data as suspect until proven otherwise.

In addition this method can make code less portable between servers.

It's not bulletproof. :-)

> if((count($_POST) > 0) && > (!stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"], > $http_referer))) { > unset($_POST); > $evil = "postedfromoutsidepage"; > }

If this page is located at http://www.example.org/foo.php, and you are trying to ensure that the data is being posted from http://www.example.org/bar.php consider the following:

-------------------- # telnet www.example.org 80 Trying 192.0.34.166... Connected to www.example.org (192.0.34.166). Escape character is '^]'. POST /foobar.php HTTP/1.1 Host: www.example.org Referer: http://www.example.org/bar.php Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Length: 26

varname=any_value_i_choose --------------------

Someone can use this method to bypass your Referer header check and post any data they choose.

Marc,

I did something sort of along these lines with an 'auction' site I worked on. I displayed rows from a db. If the row had bid information in the db (or your case submenu info) then a + sign icon was displayed next to it. IF the plus sign was clicked, the page would reload and the bid or submenu info would be displayed and the + sign would change to a - sign to give the appearence of a tree menu. Can you post some of your code?

Talk to the other admin. If you're using RPMs, you just need to install the php_mysql RPM, restart apache, and you should be up and running again.

If you're compiling PHP from scratch, you'll have to do so again with --with-mysql in the configure command. But, as this is the default when compiling PHP from scratch, my hunch is the first option is what you really need.
