Woof.
So anybody with half a clue could look in their cookies and change,
say, 'id' to '1' and masquerade as anybody they want in your system.
And with an 'id' of '1', they might even getting CMS 'admin' access or
something.
Probably not a Good Idea...
You could, perhaps, use a 2-way encryption algorithm and try to keep
your key as securely as possible, and do this much more safely.

Use robots.txt to keep out "real" search engines.
Anybody who REALLY wants to can run your JS with Webmonkey, the JS
engine of Firefox, released as a stand-alone command line tool.
(E.g., JS email obfuscation is useless against somebody with
webmonkey. Try it and see!)

Richard is waiting for a lonnnnnng PHP script to push/pull a bunch of
cron output emails out of his Inbox and dump them to a DB so he can
figure out what's going on with the system for his boss, but that
script has cause php to segfault once already, and he is also trying
(and failing) to get a Gentoo Live CD to actually finish an install on
an ancient Compaq Proliant, so pretty much posts while waiting for the
other computers/softwares to crash...

Hi,
Is there any way to limit the user to a set of characters for example say i want my user to enter any character between a and z (case insensitive). And if the user enters just one letter not belonging to [a-z], this will not be accepted.
I tried eregi('[a-z]', $fname) but this allows the user to enter abdg4512kdkdk for example.
Thank you

Keeping with your example, this works and doesn't allow an empty string
(to allow empty, replace the + with *):
eregi('^[a-z]+$', $fname)
-or-
ereg('^[A-Za-z]+$', $fname)
But ctype_alpha() is a better multi-locale solution.

What you tried only requires ONE a-z character somewhere in the input.
Try this:
preg_match('^[a-z]+$', $fname);
This will:
^ "anchor" the string at the beginning
[a-z]+ a to z, with at least one letter
$ "anchor" the string at the end
Note, however, that some people have other characters in their first
name, such as apostrophe, space, and dash.
Oh, and the digit 3, for "bo3b" who was a programmer on the first
Apple Macintosh. His parents were hippies, and that really is his
name...
You may want to obtain a LARGE list of "first names" and run them
through your validator as a test.

It's not an assignment, it's an initialization, and, yes, the compiler
does "keep track" and doesn't do that after the first time.
*THIS* would be what you describe:
function Test(){
static $a;
$a = 0;
echo $a;
$a++;
}

The manual is contributions from volunteers who have been "blessed" by
the other volunteers (viz) to edit the manual.
The "Notes" is from anybody on the planet with a web browser that can
beat the CAPTCHA.

There is nothing you can buy that's more official (nor more complete)
than the on-line manual.
You can buy support from Zend, which is a separate company run by two
guys who happen to be core developers; You can probably buy support
elsewhere as well.
PS
If you can find a language with a better manual, I'd like to see it...

That's how it works in C.
And Perl.
And Modula-2.
And Ada.
And Pascal.
And even Lisp.
.
.
.
After you've learned a couple computer languages, the rest are mostly
about "differences" and "gotchas" rather than learning something new.
Ok, except the Lisp/Scheme/Prolog stuff, where you have to think
inside-out. :-)

You hit that nail right on the head!
For those who don't know, Lisp, though spelled with an L, is
actually pronounced *Gasp*. ;-P

Cheers Thiago,
In fact this was going to be my next question. I think I will report a
documentation bug, just because, after all the discussion we had today, I
realize that this is quite a common behaviour in other languages, but for
somebody new to languages, being them programming or scripting ones, the
fact that the $a=0 line doesn't get executed on subsequent calls isn't so
obvious.
In other words, from the standpoint of someone that is relatively new to the
details (at least), the flow is: 'ok, I do appreciate that the engine keeps
memory of the value of that variable declared as static after the function
ends, but assigning a value to it at the very beginning of the function
seems like the next time the function is going to be called, it will assaign
that value again and again...and again'.
And I guess the manual wants to be as clear as possible, considering that
the examples are often 'foo 'and '$a' related :P In other words I think that
it is indeed targeted to beginners as wel, isn't it?
Thanks for all the valuable info btw. :)

Yes Richard,
In fact I know ActionScript and JavaScript and I'm trying to nail the
peculiarities of php. I totally agree. I am not used to use ' -> ' to call a
method if you know what I mean, but the rest is quite familiar, phew! :)
Aside from that, this was just one of the things I could not really
understand properly: I could understand the effects, not the reasons behind
the effects, if it makes any sense. I think the manula is lacking a couple
of lines.
One funny thing: in the Welling Thomson - PHP and MySQL Web Development
book, at some point this thing is mentioned. They promised they would
explain the concept in full detail in chapter 5 and, in chap 5, they kinda
forgot to do it.. hehe
All the best.

I don't mean to be rude, but what part of "For Unix only" confused you?
You need to point the "For Win32 only" settings at a mail server on
Windows. The error message pretty clearly states that it's trying to
connect to the server specified in those settings.

Number 1, in php.ini you left this uncommented so it's using this:
SMTP =
smtp_port =
Number 2, here you didn't uncomment the ;sendmail_path:
; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail
-t -i").
;sendmail_path = "C:\wamp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"
Also, notice the *For Unix only.* comment. Dunno if it will work anyway
if you have sendmail.

Uh, yeah... Then I thought, why not just use the SMTP and smtp_port

My mistake, the comments in the INI file really should be changed to
reflect that.
Given that your problem is that you haven't uncommented that line as
Shawn said. Remove the ; from the start of that line, restart your we
server and if the manual isn't lying it should work.
Incidentally, it probably didn't like the Yahoo settings you used
because that port is for SMTP over SSL which PHP doesn't support.

While this has deteriorated way off topic from PHP, I will just mention that
I've purchased several GPS from these cats and had great luck:

You *might* be able to write a custom PHP extension that you compile into
PHP that can access the USB/Serial port as well. (and if you did got this
route, which would be the most beneficial to the PHP community, I hope you
would FOSS the extension so other's could use it perhaps)
http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/1021
Secondly, maybe you could have a little daemon written that simply spits out
the coordinates (lat/long/altitude/etc.) to a socket or something, and then
via PHP's socket functions you could continually read that in.
Alternatively, perhaps JAVA will also let you access hardware layers if
you're on a non Microsoft platform (which is generally the case for PHP
users).
Lastly, you could certainly do some low level hardware I/O with Ruby and
then perhaps use Rails for the web portion.
Chalk this all under the "best tool for the job" category, in this case I
doubt PHP is.

Remember, when coding, php.net and google are friends.
Everyone else hates you.
It is not personal, it's just a fact.

I dunno about iMac or MacBook, but I saw a TON of Macs with dodgy
monitor settings all the time back in the day!
Sometimes on the desk of Graphic Artist who then got cranky when their
images were messed up on a well-tuned monitor...
So unless Apple has perfected the auto-tuning of a monitor or
something, I'd be surprised if it *was* correctly-tuned.

No.
For starters, all the core developers are very committed to PHP being
Open Source.
Secondly, Zend has gone "on record" saying that the Zend Engine will
always be Open Source. I know, cuz I said so when I worked there. :-)

The community.
There are MORE than enough users who would fork it in an instant if
anybody was foolish enough to try and close it.

Not gonna happen.

Thank you for replying.

The .htaccess file for phpMyAdmin says "php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off",
so I guess that means I'm okay there.

I joined their list through Sourceforge, but I haven't seen any mail
from it, and any mail I send gets bounced back to me. I'm not sure what
the issue is.

I suppose I'll have to if I can't get phpMyAdmin to behave. It's too
bad, though, as phpMyAdmin is so convenient otherwise.

Does anyone know if there is a builtin function for checking the
formatting of an incoming date to verify it is YYYY/MM/DD. I know how
to convert between formats but want a quick way to check an incoming
variable to ensure it will be handled properly by mysqld.

I normally provide dropdown fields for each (except the year which is a
text-field) and put it together how I need it. Validate each part
separately and you're off and racing.
If you accept any date you'll probably have to split it up first but the
principles will be the same.
$date = '0000-00-00';
// if they didn't use exactly two dashes? invalid
if (substr_count($date, '-') !== 2) {
die("Invalid date");
}
list($year, $month, $day) = explode('-', $date);
if (strlen($year) != 4) {
die("Invalid year");
}
and so on.

Thanks,
I ended up doing:
$incomingQuestDatePieces = explode("-", $incomingQuestDate );
if(checkdate($incomingQuestDatePieces[1],$incomingQuestDatePieces[2],
$incomingQuestDatePieces[0]))
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
I was just wondering since a lot of people have to verify correct format
of the date when working with mysql that there might be some built in
that is faster etc.
Thanks though...

Hi all,
I am implementing a system where when a user is logged in and out that a
date time is set in a database for each action for each used. We can then
trace who logged in a and when.
No what I would like to know is how can I record when a user closes the
browser or the session expires? There is no action for these items. So what
would the best way be to keep a record of this? Would the use of a cron job
be appropriate? I read in the archives that the banks use javascript but I
don't want to go that route.
If anyone has any idea how to do this please let me know, thanks in advance.
