(more or less those words) I'm working with a client who is really ticking me off with his constant request for addition of features/changes some of which i pointly decline unless i am paid more...others I do...coz the project is big and well payingand the changes are not too big. The client I am working with gave me some rough drawings (pen (not pencil) hand drawings on napkins and A4 papers), some scribblings etc My question is, how can we document the whole contract *properly* when the client is asking you to make something new (eg features not found anywhere else), code, layouts, navigation, buttons, sections, functionality etc? Getting a lawyer is (for most of us...like me) out of the question... Is there any software out there that helps? or do you take the extra days (or maybe weeks) to write up everything for him to sign on the dotted line? Keep in mind while you are taking the time to write up the whole thing he can pick someone else...or he might be in a hurry.

RE: [PHP] PHP 4 to PHP 5 Migration shortcut
From: Rasmus Lerdorf Chances are pretty good that you won't have to change anything. Step 1 would be to simply try running your existing code under PHP5 and see what breaks. Unless you have complicated OO code or you are using the domxml extension, you likely won't need to change anything. FWIW, in my experience the thing most likely to trip you up is this: $a = new C(); $b = $a; ...in php4 $b is a copy of $a, but in php5 it's a reference to the same object. You can use clone() to get the same result. hth Rob -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Storing password in cookie
Richard Lynch wrote: There aren't a whole lot of shared servers that are running a different pool of httpd for each user, nor using only CGI with different user ids, nor... I daresay that unless you are setting up a shared server yourself, rather than renting space on one, you'll be hard-pressed to find that feature... Perhaps phpsec.org would want to list hosts who go above and beyond the current norm and actually provide that. That's not a bad idea, but I'm not sure such endorsement would be beneficial, since it crosses into the territory of business interests. On the other hand, hosts might see huge value in being endorsed by the PHPSC and make a special effort to comply with recommendations and such. I guess a good first step would be to generate a document that details some options for running a secure shared host, so that people can apply the practices that fit their needs. If you're stuck on a shared host with poor security, your best hope is to keep all sensitive data (session data included) in the database, relying on its access control for some protection. This places all of the trust in your database access credentials, and there are some pretty effective ways to keep this information protected. You can at least keep people from browsing around with scripts like this: http://shiflett.org/code/browse.phps If you can think of a good business reason to store somebody's CC# in $_SESSION, I guess it must exist. I sure can't think of one... When a user enters a credit card number, there may likely be a verification step before the actual purchase is made. It's better to keep this number on the server (in the session data store) than to unnecessarily expose it over the Internet again (SSL mitigates the risk, but an unnecessary risk is still worth avoiding). Being mindful of this, it's also helpful to not even display it to the user, instead showing only the last four digits or something, because this display also counts as exposure (since it's in the response). I'm certainly interested to know when/why Chris Shiflett would store a CC# anywhere at all, unless he's actually working *FOR* the Credit Card guys, cuz that's what they're there for. :-) That doesn't count. Heh. :-) You might need to store credit card numbers if you're someone like Amazon and you see a great deal of value in making future purchases as convenient as possible. Whether it's one-click ordering or not, statistics prove that customers are more likely to buy products when the purchase barrier is reduced. Sure, this is necessarily going to be less secure than destroying the credit card number after each use, but there are ways to mitigate the risk, and security can't always take precedence. I'm doing some security consulting for an Amazon-like company right now that requires this. The credit card numbers are all encrypted and kept in a secure database (my opinion), and I've added specific safeguards to protect the symmetric key from theoretical risks (for example, Apache has insufficient privileges to access the key, so even command injection can't necessarily be used to obtain it). Of course, this is all tangential to the whole password in a cookie discussion, in which case I'm not aware of any situation or business need that can possibly justify that. :-) Chris -- Chris Shiflett Brain Bulb, The PHP Consultancy http://brainbulb.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] a new it company
Dan: My apologies for any negitive psychological effects my reply to the password sharing thread, may have had on you. It was not a case of mistaken identity, but rather a case of replying to the last poster, instead of to the list. gmail has this quick reply box on the bottom, and I clicked on that, typed my reply and clicked 'send'. I simply forgot to change it to 'Reply to all' instead of just 'reply'. Maybe I was a bit quick on the gun, but I felt annoyed by someone posting that they had 'found' a website, vouched for their staff(Great People), and failed to address whether or not the site was their own. I wouldn't have had so much of a problem, with a direct honest announcement, that they had formed a new IT company, as opposed to casting the impression that this was a site that they had no intrest in, and had just hopped across it whilst searching google/yahoo/whatever.

[PHP] unserialize problem
Hi!
I am trying to unserialize a serialized array stored in cookie...
I am using following code :

echo(br$loginbr);

echo $m_l_d;
echo($m_l_d[0], $m_l_d[1], $m_l_d[2]);
However the output is:

that means $login exists and it echos properly..

I can't claim a detailed understanding of what you are doing, and,
frankly, it sounds like you are creating a BUNCH of over-engineered
headache-inducing code without a good, proven need for it. YMVV.
The Upper Case Nice Names I used before are not really difficult to
implement. Some of these patterns are even smaller than most
implementations of GOF design patterns.
That said, one thing I *did* understand and can comment on:
Sample code:
$company = CompanyMapper::find(1); // we have ghost inside $company
//some other operations, but we don`t touch $company
$company2 = CompanyMapper::findByName('Big Ltd.');
Now let`s assume, that company with ID=1 has name Big Ltd. We have two
independent copies of the same object what kinda sucks :] The problem is
that both finding methods return ghosts and the second one doesn`t know
his ID yet. If there would be only ID-based searching than Identity Map
would detect it and caused returning the same instance, but it`s not...
So why not do this:
Make findByName look up the $ID with the query you already use, possibly
caching the other fields/data you use frequently in some kind of very temp
space: $row (array returned from query).
Then call CompanyMapper::find($ID, $row);
which uses the info it already has given for free in $row, but can also
check your cache of existing object, fill in any free data from $row, and
return the existing object if it's there.
The problem is that both finding methods don`t query the database when
they are called. They just store information how can the database be
queried to fetch the data which should be inside them. So - I don`t have
ID inside $company2 unless I accessed it`s variables.
Perhaps a specialized object that manipulates/returns other objects based
on arguments is in order. Instead of a zillion objects that all do that
same thing, only one for each real object, you have one that handles all
the other objects the same way, but trying to find the same object in your
cache first, then digging deeper into lazy load (or whatever) to build it.
That`s what Identity Map doing - it keeps track of all business objects
inside application. Still - after doing find*() there is no way to tell
that two variables are the same object inside until they are accessed. And
after they are accessed it`s already to late, because we have two
instances.
How certain are you that all this code is saving you *ANYTHING*?
Quite much :) Honestly - it`s a pleasure to write code for application
using this architecture. Repetition of code is basicly non-existent,
except for interfaces (which are generated automaticly anyway).
Is it worth the development/maintenance expense?
The expenses are not really high. The biggest problem is that if come to
dead
end somewhere than we have to look for solutions in java literature :] And
of course it takes time for PHP developer to switch to using it, but
that`s not different from any framework.
It`s worth the effort, trust me :)

[PHP] imagecopyresample
I have created (adapted) the follow function:
function imageresize($new_width, $new_height, $filename) {
// Content type
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
// Get new dimensions
list($width, $height) = getimagesize($filename);
// Resample
$image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);
imagecopyresampled($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width,
$new_height, $width, $height);
// Output
imagejpeg($image_p, null, 100);
}
The idea is it takes a image and resizes it at server end so that you
dont have to download a massive image. And it works.
That is as long as that function is the only think you doing.
For example if I have a page with the following in it:
?php
require_once('../includes/functions.php');
imageresize('100', '75', 'pages/1.jpg');
?
I get my image resized. (functions.php is where all my fuctions are
stored) However if I place anything after the imageresize it doesnt
show that. Eg echohello'; does nothing. If anything goes before it the
whole page doesnt work.
Any ideas why this is happening and how I can work around it?

a. Must contain an 1 uppercase letter. [A-Z]
b. Must contain 1 digit. [0-9]
c. Must be a minimum of 7 characters in length. {7}
I'm not sure of how to build the correct syntax for using all 3
requirements together.

[PHP] Any experience with multi-language PHP sites?
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with building large scale multi-language websites with PHP/MySQL? The plan is to have the core site created in English and then translators can login to create the various language versions (we'll have 6 languages to start with including Japanese). Content will be pure text (no HTML), stored in a MySQL 4.1 database with appropriate caching for display. I'm interested in knowing of any problems I should be looking out for while designing this - what happens to Japanese characters for example when stored in a MySQL text field? Any issues re: displaying them again once extracted? Or on validating foreign data input on web forms?

RE: [PHP] Image and PHP
I have a page where i place an image but i want when i show the image delete it. How can i do this? What I would probably do is create a cleanup function/class in the script that gets a list of all the images in the directory in question and deletes anything that more then, say, an hour old. I don't like situations that may result the client not receiving data because the server was too fast or the client was too slow. So all you'll have to do is make sure you have a folder that only contains the images for this process and don't upload any other images to that folder.

--- Mario de Frutos Dieguez [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a page where i place an image but i want when i show the image delete it. How can i do this? Some good suggestions so far but to be a little more explicit this is how you would do it. Essentially you want to have your image tag point to a script, have that script pass the image to the browser then delete the image. Please note, this example code, for simplicity sake, leaves out any security precautions. On you main page you'll have an image tag like: img src=show_image.php?image_name=some_image.jpg Then show_image.php will look something like this: ?Php $filepath = $_GET['image_name']; $fd = fopen($filepath,'r'); fpassthru($fd); fclose($fd); unlink($filepath); ? Remember though, as written you need to do some validation on $filepath, because as is, this script will pass anything to the user that is contained in $_GET['image_name'] then delete it, so be careful. -k. __ Do you Yahoo!?

Reason I am asking is they have no setup fee and have a public forum, and on the forum there is a lot of praise with very little flack, prices are not too bad either...which is kind of strange for a dedicated hosting provider.

If so. I removed the header. And changed the output. The problem now
is that it displays it as code (becuase there is no header) it also
manages to display it without the print comment

[PHP] header()

headers.
Here's what I want to do:
1) Send a PDF file which will be printed in the client (the client will read
it and print it if he wants to.
2) Redirect to the main page of the aplication.
Now, what happens to me is that, if I do (1) without (2), the PDF file is
sent, but after printing and closing the PDF viewer, the browser stays in the
old page, something I don't want.
If I put (1) and (2) I don't get the PDF to print. I just redirects to the new
page.
Here is ths code (sorry about the comments on spanish :-) ):
// Vamos a mandar el PDF
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
// El archivo se va a llamar libreDeuda.pdf
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=libreDeuda' .
'.pdf');
// El PDF fuente va a ser $ftexName.
readfile($fpdfName);

[PHP] Getting a contract
Hey, There was some discussion before this on how much to charge to make a site / set of scripts, which also turned into advise from the more experienced members of this list...good advise I might add. Note: This thread is not directly a php thread but related in a big way to what most of us do, you might not want to read it if you only read programming threads, this is intended to be more of a discussion. That saidI'll continue: One of the parts that I noted (and that has come back to haunt me) is: write the entire scope of the project and make them sign on the dotted line even if they are family friends. (more or less those words) I'm working with a client who is really ticking me off with his constant request for addition of features/changes some of which i pointly decline unless i am paid more...others I do...coz the project is big and well payingand the changes are not too big. The client I am working with gave me some rough drawings (pen (not pencil) hand drawings on napkins and A4 papers), some scribblings etc My question is, how can we document the whole contract *properly* when the client is asking you to make something new (eg features not found anywhere else), code, layouts, navigation, buttons, sections, functionality etc? Getting a lawyer is (for most of us...like me) out of the question... Is there any software out there that helps? or do you take the extra days (or maybe weeks) to write up everything for him to sign on the dotted line? Keep in mind while you are taking the time to write up the whole thing he can pick someone else...or he might be in a hurry. Advise on what you think would help...and things that you _actually_ do would help a lot of us I think sidestep bad experiences in the future. Thanks, Ryan -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[PHP] Re: Getting a contract
Ryan, Write the contract to state the targets as they exist now, the estimated hours and how you will be paid(i.e. - by the hour, milestone, etc...) then when a change is made to the design, simply make an addendum to the original contract and list the changes that are to be done, estimated time and again how you will be paid. Make sure the client is signing this stuff (even friends and family).

To do it in one fell swoop you need to use lookahead assertions --
something like this:
if (preg_match('/(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[0-9]).{7,}/', $text))
echo 'Valid!';
I believe this matches for any string that has at least one uppercase
letter and one digit and is at least 7 characters long. However it
allows other characters as well (not just A-Z and 0-9). Lots of
possible variations there.

I haven't tested that, but I think it should work.
As for the date format, if it doesn't need to be human-readable, might I
suggest date('U')? It's the number of seconds since the epoch; it's
easily convertable to human-readable format. If that doesn't fly,
perhaps MySQL's datetime format, which is a 14-digit int, achievable
with date('YmdHis'). I may be a holdover from DOS, but I shudder at
spaces in filenames. :)

Re: [PHP] Getting a contract
Keep this in mind - I'll repeat it: WE ARE DOING INTELLECTUAL WORK, not painting walls. The simplest request can have unknown ramifications. I was lucky - in hindsight - got burned that way after I'd been in business about 6 weeks. Wrote up one of those beautiful proposals which outline exactly what I was going to do, thereby demonstrating to my potential client that I KNEW what I was talking about. Waited. And waited. And waited some more, then called client after a couple of weeks. Thank you for your excellent document. It had a lot of very good ideas. We are having the IT instructor at xxx school implement the work. WE ARE DOING INTELLECTUAL WORK From then on - customer got one hour free; then the meter started. If they want details, they're buying my expertise, and it's been damned, hard-earned expertise too. Feature creep seems to be the problem here. Money which should go to solid development gets frittered away checking this and that, adding a bit of fanciness here, etc. A friend of mine had a project shut down for three weeks, and his client looking for another developer, because of that. The contact person could not resist adding new things, and willingly signed work orders for their addition, but lost sight that the overall goal was a functioning job-tracking / management system for a printing plant. How did it work out? Well, he talked to all of his competition, and we indicated in our bids that he would be the person we'd engage to do the work. Hell, he was the most skilled FoxPro developer in town, and the only one who really knew the system. Some helpful things: 1. Let's conform to original plan, what you are talking about can be added when the project is up and running. WE ARE DOING INTELLECTUAL WORK 2. How much do you want to spend checking this out? (It's really easy to Take 15 minutes, then you send an email which might take 30 min to get really clear and accurate, and the answer requires another 15~30 minutes and another email - hey, where'd the afternoon go?) WE ARE DOING INTELLECTUAL WORK 3. Trust is important. An outline of the scope of the project, the available inputs, and what the desired outputs are, and an ESTIMATE of what it MIGHT cost. Remember - those napkins, notes and squiggles are contract documents. WE ARE DOING INTELLECTUAL WORK 3. Bill bi-weekly, with bi-weekly terms. Clients don't see us at work - and if they did they wouldn't understand. To close off, well-done scripting (or any type of programming) looks seamless and gives the user a good experience. Don't know if this has been helpful. You might also see if Whil Hentzen is still publishing his Developers Guide at http://www.hentzenwerke.com. Or ask if he has an old copy, mine dates from 1997.

Re: [PHP] Getting a contract
For larger projects, I always charged a contingency fee, maybe $100-$500, depending on the scope. This money basically pays you to write up a project document. After all, you are spending your valuable time on something for them. If they accept your proposal to write the application, the money goes towards your fee for the project. If decide not to use you, or pick someone else in the meantime, the money is yours. They get to keep the proposal, which they could give to someone else so that they could develop the application, but you at least got paid. Whatever you do, document everything. Who asked for what change and when, even changes you reject.

[PHP] Streaming video BLOBs from MySQL
I have a case where video files (mov, flv, etc) have been stored in a MySQL database as blobs. I'm loading them into a flash video player and everything works fine except it takes longer it seems and it doesn't allow streaming the actual video. If I load the same videos with a direct link to the http:// file system (/videos/file.flv) it loads in super-fast and allows streaming. I'm guessing mysql and/or php doesn't actually release the BLOB until it's loaded it completely. So, is there a way to actually have PHP read the BLOB and stream it as it's loading?

The idea is it takes a image and resizes it at server end so that you
dont have to download a massive image. And it works.
That is as long as that function is the only think you doing.
For example if I have a page with the following in it:
?php
require_once('../includes/functions.php');
imageresize('100', '75', 'pages/1.jpg');
?
I get my image resized. (functions.php is where all my fuctions are
stored) However if I place anything after the imageresize it doesnt
show that. Eg echohello'; does nothing. If anything goes before it the
whole page doesnt work.
Any ideas why this is happening and how I can work around it?
You can display either image or html, not both. You must do:
img src=thumb.php
thumb.php contains the code to output the thumbnail

Re: [PHP] Storing password in cookie
On 13 Apr 2005 Richard Lynch wrote: I have what I consider a MINIMUM standard level of security for any site that asks for a password. That would include: Not storing the password *ANYWHERE* in clear-text. Not in database. Not in $_SESSION Not in COOKIES Agreed. I see less risk for temporary storage in $_SESSION in the case where the server is well-protected logically and physically, but it's so easy to encrypt (if session storage is needed at all) that there's no reason not to. Not storing an encrypted username/password in $_SESSION/COOKIE if having those values provides access. Because at that point, the encryption is rather meaningless, as it's really a clear-text 32-character code that happens to be the encrypted value of something secret, but the clear-text 32-character code gives the Bad Guy access, whether they know the secret or not. If your content/application/data is important enough to warrant a username/password, then it should be important enough to secure with this minimal level of security, IN MY OPINION. Here I think we disagree as by this logic no one should store anything in a cookie that provides access (beyond a short temporary timeframe). There are many kinds of sites where users want some privacy or control over their own account but also want the convenience of staying logged in, and where there is little or nothing any Bad Guy skilled enough to go steal the cookie would bother with. For example, many discussion board logins fit this description. I personally use a different password for each one I'm on (it's not very many), and far prefer the convenience of not having to go look it up every time over the security of having it expire, particularly since the very worst someone can do if they gain access is post as if they were me. The analogy is that the Bad Guys who know how to break into bank vaults just don't care about my (hypothetical) shed full of garden tools, and if they do test their skills there, the garden tools aren't that valuable anyway. And if in order to prevent this highly unlikely theft I have to remember my key every time I go out to do some work, that's a poor tradeoff to me. What we're arguing about is whether the garden shed [web site] should be designed so that I *have* to use a key (i.e. require a specific level of security) or whether I as the user can choose. For anything involving money or significant personal data, or other similar risks, yes, to me the login security should be forced. But for less important assets there are real benefits to security practices that give the user more control. Some of this is simply a question of whether there is a category of stuff that is important enough to protect with a password but that doesn't require more careful security, login expiration after a short time and other protection mechanisms. I think that category exists, sounds like you are saying you think it does not. If users forget passwords, they should get new random passwords, with the application/email directing them to change those passwords to memorable (to them) but hopefully un-guessable (to Bad Guys) values. Agreed. My clients don't always agree but I think this is correct. I would contend that anything less is simply a false sense of security, provided to the un-informed, by using inherently insecure username/password methodolgy. The fact that 10 zillion sites are currently doing exactly that does not make it right. You obviously disagree, and think everything is just hunky-dory in the 10 zillion sites that are leaking passwords to any Bad Guy with half a clue. Well I hope that was a bit tongue in cheek. I didn't say that nor do I think that. There's a lot of bad security out there. That doesn't make someone like me who disagrees with a particular set of security principles into someone who thinks all bad security is fine. -- Tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Storing password in cookie
On 14 Apr 2005 Chris Shiflett wrote: When a user enters a credit card number, there may likely be a verification step before the actual purchase is made. It's better to keep this number on the server (in the session data store) than to unnecessarily expose it over the Internet again (SSL mitigates the risk, but an unnecessary risk is still worth avoiding). Being mindful of this, it's also helpful to not even display it to the user, instead showing only the last four digits or something, because this display also counts as exposure (since it's in the response). There is one case where redisplaying the number (via https) makes sense to me -- when it fails a verification check. The obvious example is a simple check-digit error due to a typing error on the user's part. In this case the option is either expecting the user to retype the entire number every time they make a mistake, or accepting the -- to me minimal -- risk in sending it back for editing when redisplaying the form and error message. But doing that does require putting the CC # in some form into session storage (or some kind of storage) in the case where the processing / validation and display scripts are separate and the processing script needs to pass posted data back for redisplay. Re last four digits, I have notice that many sites seem to be going to showing the last five or six, first four plus last four, etc. Apparently people are finding that last four alone isn't sufficient for users to recognize the card. -- Tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

public setVar($var, $val)
{
set $this-$var = $val;
}
Why not use __set()?

The idea is it takes a image and resizes it at server end so that you
dont have to download a massive image. And it works.
That is as long as that function is the only think you doing.
For example if I have a page with the following in it:
?php
require_once('../includes/functions.php');
imageresize('100', '75', 'pages/1.jpg');
?
I get my image resized. (functions.php is where all my fuctions are
stored) However if I place anything after the imageresize it doesnt
show that. Eg echohello'; does nothing. If anything goes before it
the whole page doesnt work.
Any ideas why this is happening and how I can work around it?
You can display either image or html, not both. You must do:
img src=thumb.php
thumb.php contains the code to output the thumbnail
Thanks a lot That worked a treat

[PHP] Sessions and frames
Hi there! I have built my site into frames. I want to transfer a session-variable from my left frame to my right frame... How do I do this best? Thoughts? /G @varupiraten.se -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

How do I do this best? Thoughts? You do this best by setting some session data on one page (any page), and then accessing that same data on another page (any page). If both frame sources are within the same domain they both have access to the same session data.
