Thank you, Richard -- I appreciate your advice.

Here is a qualifier: I'm not putting any core code into tables, just
code which generates page content. The access rights to that page
content, as well as security code and application objects are not
there. That code is off of the web path, called by functions. No SQL
is in tables. So maybe I shouldn't have said "security."

With that in mind -- I would really appreciate it if would help me
understand your comment or point me to a resource which will. I have
read a bunch of stuff on security, but no resources led me to believe
that I was on a wrong path, though none of them followed the path I
am on. It isn't too late for me to change.

I should add: All of the PHP in the tables is making calls to UI
objects and data objects (which contain the SQL). Those classes are
also off of the web tree. My goal has been to locate any and all page-
related content (HTML and PHP) in a single location.

I am *not* trying to justify my strategy here. I just want to provide
enough information to anybody willing to help me understand if it is
ill-conceived.

Thank you,

Hi there,
I'm currently writing an IRC bot using php (CLI) and get a little problem.

For windows version, I need to enable socket extension (socket.dll) and
my bot will be able to connect to an IRC server.

But in linux version, it's unable to connect. So I wonder if there's a "
socket.so" or something else
to activate socket extension.

And the question is, do I need socket extension in Linux?

Hi.

I want to know if anyone can help me with my code which matches a
number to a range e.g. 1-15 and echoes an image if the number is in
the range.

The code would use the if statement and check if a variable for
example 5 matches the range like 4-10 and if it does it echoes a
certain image.

Anyone know which function I should use and what regex I should use?

Thanks

Hi:

Wasn't this same question just asked by Chilling Lounge Admin?

It does seem that similar questions rise at similar times, must be sun spots.

In any event, its the same answer -- use a switch.

Side note:

  $exp = explode('"', $var);
  foreach ($exp as $key => $val) if ($key%2!=0) $arr[] = $val;
  var_dump($arr);

works without regular expressions.

PCRE is much more powerful than ereg(). It is considerably faster too.
However ereg() is POSIX compliant if that matters at all.

That last table cell is deeply troubled. First, you're missing a
close-parenthesis and semi-colon, should be:
javascript:poptastic( Details );
Second, this is going to output to HTML as plain text, not as
executable script. Perhaps you meant to embed the function call in an anchor?

Third, when do you expect this pop-up window to pop up? Are you
aware that PHP executes on the server, then downloads the page to the
client, then the client processes any embedded javascript and
executes it? Perhaps this sequence of events would be more clear if
you used the window.onload event to trigger the pop-up.

Fourth, are you aware that many browsers are set to suppress
pop-ups? If your page depends on pop-ups, it will break or be
rendered non-functional by pop-up suppression.

Don't use curly quotes in scripting; that's just for text display.

I don't see that quotation marks are a problem in the script you've
posted, but maybe you haven't given us an accurate copy of the whole thing.

If quotes are a problem, try using heredoc:
http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.heredoc

echo <<<_
This text doesn't "care" about quotes.
_;

Where are the problem quotation marks? And Is this in fact the actual
html that you are outputting?

<td> javascript:poptastic( Details </td>

Shouldn't it be:
<td><a href="javascript:portastic();">hello</a></table>

Without the a tag, it just prints the javascript pseudo-url to the
screen as text.

Thank you in advance.

Of course not. As Zoltan stated above, security is dependent upon the
programmer and not the language. But, if you aren't familiar with why
PHP is considered so "insecure" its a result of people who can't/
don't know how to properly program PHP applications. PHP is an easy
programming language to learn quickly and hit the ground running.
These people (typically) don't care to check to make sure writing
something like:

mysql_query('SELECT * FROM admins WHERE username = "'.$_GET
['username'].'" and password = "'.$_GET['password'].'"');

is safe and secure. This is one of the bigger issues I've seen on
some PHP applications. As you will (or perhaps already have read) on
Chris S.'s site that a big thing to do in PHP apps is FIEO (Filter
Input Escape Output). Applications written in this manner are
insecure; PHP isn't what's insecure.

However, with my limited Computer Science training, FIEO is something
that should be done in any application under any programming language
- for security's sake.

So, rather than consider the difference in security of a programming
language versus another, you should be asking the question "What does
PHP offer me that XXX doesn't?". Alternatively, if the person on the
other end is still too concerned about security, then you should be
considering "How much easier is it for me to program secure
applications in PHP than XXX?" If you do it right from the start,
you'll find that PHP does not make it difficult to write secure apps.

Hello,

Does any included file in PHP have a unique identifier? (like a stack of
includes identifier).

If the files names are different, then __FILE__ can be used as an
identifier. But if a file was included by itself, then __FILE__ is the
same, tho there are 2 different includes of the same file.

Example:
=== a.php
<?php
echo "\nRunning ".__FILE__." (id=X)!\t";
if (!$visited) {
        echo "You are visiting here!";
        $visited = true;
        include(__FILE__);
}
else {
        echo "You have been already visiting here! (Bye)";
}
?>

-thanks, Eli

Looking at the code above... it would seem you want:

include_once()

It's not the idea..

I'm not trying to make that code work, I want to know which exact
include (of the same file) does what..

Say you got a loop of self-include:
e.g:
=== a.php
<?php
echo "\nRunning ".__FILE__." (id=X)!\t";
if ($visited<5) {
        echo "You are visiting here!";
        $visited++;
        include(__FILE__);
}
else {
        echo "That's enough! Bye!";
}
?>

In "(id=X)!".. what's the X? You may say you can use $visited as an
identifier, but it's not the point I mean.. I want a global include file
identifier, that is not dependent on other variables.
