Subject: [PHP] pdf routine - good local / bad online

Hi.

I have a routine creating a pdf file. Here is the script that works
on the win98 dev box. But when I upload it to the linux online, it
does not work.

It stops at 'create handle'. Can someone please tell me why?

// GET COMPANY INFO
   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result)){
       $name1 = $row['name1'];
       $name2 = $row['name2'];
       $addr1 = $row['addr1'];
       $addr2 = $row['addr2'];
       $city = $row['city'];
       $stat = $row['stat'];
       $zipc = $row['zipc'];
       $phone = $row['phone'];}

// START PDF FILE
   unlink('f:/localhost/adobe/' . $cocode . '_info.pdf');

// create handle for new PDF document
pdf_delete($pdf);
$pdf = pdf_new();

// open a file
pdf_open_file($pdf, 'f:/localhost/adobe/' . $cocode . '_info.pdf');

I do change the 'f:/localhost' to https://xx.xx.xx,xx when uploaded.

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated... TIA

Not sure you can unlink a file by https:// protocol. Make sure that it's
pointing correctly to a file for which httpd has write permissions.

Assuming that I've interpreted your array structure correctly,

        $a = array ("Jan-1999" => array (36.04,140.35,319.53,324.07),
                                "Feb-1999" => array (1.78,71.78,320.58,141.97)
        );

There are plenty of possible solutions. Here's a slightly perverse one:

$f = create_function ('$x, $y', 'return (array_merge(array($x), $y));');
$a = array_map($f, array_keys ($a), $a);

Otherwise... loop from 0 to sizeof ($array), replacing each element of the
array with

array($key) + $value

This should do:

$array_output = array();
foreach ($array_input as $key => $data) {
   $atmp = explode(',',$data);
   array_unshift($atmp, $key);
   $array_output[] = $atmp;
}

May I ask why you're reformatting the array - maybe you could avoid this step?

There was a version of php where exactly this sort of hole existed under
certain conditions. That hole does not exist in the present version.
Check the security announcements for details.

However, you should always consider a file extension among the weaker
class of protections.

Manuel,

Having never setup a multi-server web environment before, I'm a bit curious. How would the public server communicate with the private server, passing in database queries and getting results, if it can't connect directly to the database? Are we talking about building a SOAP interface between the two?

Thanks,

Joseph

attached mail follows:

One more thing, make sure the application is running on its own server
meaning don't use a shared hosting enviroment that allows others to gain
access to your directories. In this case even placing the file outside of
docroot doesnot secure it in anyway since any other user can access it
with their php scripts since it is most likely that the webserver user is
the same for all shared hosters. This can be allevated with safe_mode =
on.
I know this is a very specific scenario but none the less you should make
sure this is not possible.

You could store the password encrypted and decrypt it before giving it to
the database this way if anybody got the file they can not read the
password. This of course still leaves it open where to store the keys.

I wonder if there is way to actually securly store database passwords for
scripts on a server without compromising security to some degree.
It all comes down to one credo:
There is no such thing as absolute security, the trick is to make
retrieval of information as hard as possible.

About security books: There are none that are specific to php that I know
of but general books such as 'Hackers Guide' or so give you a fair deal of
information (and sources) on how security can be compromised on your
system. Don't forget your friend Google or someother Searchenginge for
that matter.

As allready mentioned:
1. Trust nobody, Validate everything
2. Watch out for SQL Injection
3. Close everything you don't need on your server
4. Let your php code be checked by others. Maybe even this list?
5. Turn of register_globals to prevent variable injection into your script
6. Turn your error level up to E_ALL to see all notices. This will prevent
you from using uninitialized variables or using constants you have not
defined. I find it helpfull to display all errors to screen during
developement. Don't forget to turn this off for production purposes. In
production regularly inspect the php error log.

The only way (i think, maybe there are other ways to do it) it to set up two
server (connected in a local network): one public and one private. Surely
the private server will have the databases. It will only be available in the
local network !!! Even if the get your "database.inc.php" they CANNOT have
your data from the DB.

For e.g. to connect to the DB (mySQL)
mysql_connect("10.1.1.20", ...)
A private IP can be accessed locally... Well it really works.. i've done

Turck MMCache encodes a simple "echo phpinfo();" like this...

At development stage put error_reporting = E_ALL;
Eliminate all notices, warnings, etc.
On live server error_reporting = ~E_ALL; (don't forget '~' ... haha)
===============

Not only you have to write secure codes, but it will be the responsibility
of the network admin not to let anybody have access to your server (public
or private !!!) from outside... I remember when i first joined the company
i'm working at, my network admin accessed my PC from outside our network (he
gained accessed thr' the router or I don't know how... the Network Experts
will answer this well) he then asked me to patch everything, etc..

Any mistake in this post, plz correct me so that i can learn from it.
That's a very small help from me. Hope it helps.
GOOD LUCK

I'm not a security expert at all, but...

The short answer to your question is that if you have to ask how to make
your code secure, then chances are, you probably shouldn't be attempting it
at all... but then again, we all have to learn somewhere...

Do a google search, and read thousands of articles relating to security
(even if it's not directly to do with what you want)... over time you'll
build a library in your head of issues that need to be resolved.

A key point in understanding security is to ask "what should i allow",
rather than "what should i make sure they don't do".

I hope it's a dedicated box, with Telnet, FTP etc blocked to all but your

Store an MD5 of the password, that way you're comparing the two hashes, not
two passwords... even if someone stumbles into your database, they'll only
see the MD5'd password. A further step would be encryption, on which you
will have to do a LOT of reading.

There's plenty of articles... just search and search and search on google...
keep digging, a read everything.

Pay a programmer with a lot more experience to consult on your project.

Start with open source products which may have an inherited strength and
security as they draw on the experiences of many programmers, some of which
with MANY years behind the wheel.

If your client's primary concern is cost, not security or customer
satisfaction, then I'd be a little worried :)

I'd start by not storing the cc numbers, or any other sensitive data on the
web server at all... it will depend on your application, but if there are no
numbers stored, then there's very little reason to attempt to hack in and
get them, yes?

Talk to your credit card merchant about the options you have, and take any
advice they can provide... also, don't skimp on things like cc merchants...

Make sure all logins and sensitive data is done over SSL too.

Hello all,

I have a php script that reads a flat text file with fields seperated by a
space. I explode them into an array just fine, but when I try then to load
that array into a mysql database, it doesn't work. Here is my script:

for ($i=0; $i<$number_of_alerts; $i++) {
// Split each line
$line = explode(" ", $ipfwlog[$i]);

$line[1] = intval($line[1]);

$IPFWsql = "INSERT INTO Firewall_Logs (month, date, time, fw_name, kernel,
fw_engine, rule_number, action, protocol, src
$results = mysql_query($IPFWsql) or die ("Could not execute query");

}

Any ideas why this does not work? I am completely stuck.

There is no installation needed to use these functions; they are part of the PHP core."

I wouldn't be so surprised and perplexed if it just somehow failed, but nope,

What the manual doesn't make clear is that mail() is only compiled in if
./configure was able to find the sendmail binary.

Thanks Michael,

Can you suggest any other method (without using session_start)
by which I can track users and validate for each page.

What I do currently , in the login page register the user using sessions
and in other pages see if user is registered.

I need to restrict each page based on mysql table page access right
against each user.

Thanks,
Bibhas

Because by default htmlentities will convert double quotes but not single ones -- if you convert the second one to use double quotes in the HTML (like the first one), it should work:

echo '<input name="company" type="text" value="', htmlentities($company), '">';

Or you could use the optional 2nd parameter to htmlentities to make it convert single quotes as well -- the following is a quote from the manual page at http://www.php.net/htmlentities:

Subject: PHP & Mysql Error Code 1062 - Duplicates found

Hi PHP'ers,

I've got a question regarding the input of (multiple) data into
mysql through PHP.

If there is already an entry in the database, then an mysql will generate an
error 1062 stating that the entry is a duplicate. (This will happen only if
I input the data through mySQL using xterm, if I use PHP, then I only get
the 'duplicate entry found', partly cause I don't know how to get the error
code as well as the duplicate entry returned to PHP to be output'ed to the
browser.

Below is my code. $my_query is concatenated from an array.

$my_query = $my_query.
"\n('".$SN[$i]."','".$DCM[$i]."','".$Supp[$i]."','".$time_now."'),";
$query = "INSERT INTO pioneer(serial_no,dcm,supplier,fa_timestamp) VALUES
$my_query;";
$result = mysql_db_query('tracker',$query);

if ($result)
echo "<br><br>".mysql_affected_rows()." Drives & DCM combo inserted into
database.";
else
echo "\n<br><br>Duplicate entry found. Data not inserted.";

Can anyone help me out?

Bibhas,

I've seen many references to the phpBB application on this list in the past and had a look at it in detail some weeks ago. It's a fairly large application but the way they deal with sessions is instructive.

If I've understood it correctly they don't use the session management features in PHP but create their own. When a user visits the site a session is created with a unique identifier. This is then stored in a sessions table in the database. The session ID is passed to other pages as the user visits them either by use of cookies or by appending the session id to each url. If the user logs in then the user id is also stored in the relevant sessions table and other information about the user is pulled from a users table for that user id.

If you download the application - www.phpbb.com - you'll find the relevant code in the sessions file within the includes directory - though they have recently upgraded the application so this might have changed.

HTH,

Michael Egan

Not sure but you can try this:

First, using the command line client, check whether you're using the
correct socket.

mysql> status;

Then, make sure that you have the same entry inside "/etc/my.cnf". (Or,
you can just change the value inside my.cnf to point to /tmp/mysql.sock-
-and see if it works.) Restart mysqld after making any changes...

Find out where your mysql.sock is and edit php.ini to match.

First of all, I have nearly no idea as to how to interpret binary data.

This has somewhat made things a little clearer as to how to move around

You never set *_color back to 0 at any point, so the first time through
the loop it gets set to 1 and stays there.

Replace you lines like:

; if($a_percent > $num) { $a_color = 1; }

with:

$a_color = $a_percent > $num;

hi, Nadim Attari£¡

        Well it doesn't... I have to send it as a mail to php-generallists.php.net, then it works... If I click on the thread and try to "Reply to Group", it doesn't work !!!

        We always send the mail to php-generallists.php.net, and not using "reply to group" function,I think there's no easy way to do this.If you really have problems with PHP,sending mail is not the important thing,the more important thing is to get a good reply!Sorry,it's my own opinion:)

UNIX timestamps are *always* GMT -- it's the routines that process them that
do timezone (and DST) conversion. To prove this, run the following on your
server:

<?php
   $timestamp = 1056405600;
   echo "GMT = ", gmdate("Y-m-d H:i:s"), "<br />\n";
   echo "local = ", date("Y-m-d H:i:s"), "<br />\n";
?>

Also see the manual page for gmdate() at http://www.php.net/gmdate which
shows a very similar script as its first example.

Cheers!

beware, arguments with leading zeros are treated as zeros.
that is,

"mktime(0,0,0,10,9,2002)" == 10/09/2002.

To be precise, integers written with a leading zero are treated as octal
numbers. But octal numbers can only contain digits 0-7. If it contains any
other digits then (probably) the whole value is rendered as 0.

Hi,
from the array i asume that you are trying to make a tree structure like this
Data_Array
    {
         Mar-99
            {
                0,
                0,
                5945,
                33,
                0
            }
    }
Second you said that you want to make variables out of these values. 1 thing to note is $0 Or $Mar-99 is not a valid variable name?
Please clear these points . may be then i will be able to help

Hi,

I'm working of a PHP-MySQL-planning system for a newspaper. I want to add
dates and number for each issue. I have to following code, where
$current_date is a unix timestamp.

If $current_date is a Saturday or Sunday, I want to quit the current
execution of the loop and contiune with the next date. But when the if-
clause that checks if $issue_day_of_week is Sunday or Saturday is included
in my while-loop, everything stalls. Without it, everything goes smooth.

What am I missing?

while ($i <= $number_of_days)
        {
                $issue_date = strftime("%Y-%m-%d", $current_date);
                $issue_month = date("m", $current_date);
                $issue_day = date("d", $current_date);
                $issue_day_of_week = date("l", $current_date);

                // Check that $issue_date isn't Saturday or Sunday

                if ($issue_day_of_week == "Sunday" | $issue_day_of_week == "Saturday")
                {
                        continue;
                }

                if ($issue_month == 1 & $issue_day == 1)
                {
                        $issue_number = 1;
                        $current_date = $current_date + 86400;
                        $i++;
                        $issue_number++;
                        continue;
                }
                $current_date = $current_date + 86400;
                $i++;
                $issue_number++;
        }

Are you incrementing number_of_days anywhere within the loop?

It looks like you have an infinite loop running. If you want to be able to
move to the next date, increment you date variable.

Ok, lets see if I can sum this up. I have a number of scripts that my
clients (on a virtual host) can include into their PHP scripts to use my
software. While my scripts need clear access to all functions (exec, eval,
unlink, etc) I would like to stop my clients from having access to some of
the more dangerous functions. But, I believe if my script is included in
theirs it will be running from their directory and, therefore the httpd.conf
file will be no good.

A quick thought -- It would be nice if we had a "authorization code" in the
php.ini file that the more dangerous
