--- Begin Message --- Hello all, Ive been working with PHP for my websites for a few months, just attempted to build my own class, after reading all this stuff about automated robots and XSS attacks etc decided to step up security a bit, my result is an attempt to create a class for using the token method within web forms, not even sure whether its the real thing but my work is below, some advice on whether its ok or what needs improving would be appreciated, thanks. 


<?php
// PHP 4.3.11


class SecretToken {

    var $_returnCode;


    function GenerateToken() {
     if(!isset($_SESSION['token'])) {
      session_regenerate_id();
      $new_token = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
      $_SESSION['token'] = $new_token;
     }
    }


    function VerifyToken($post) {
     if(isset($_SESSION['token'])) {
      $saved_token = ($_SESSION['token']);
     }
     if($post == $saved_token):
      $this->_returnCode = 1;
      unset($_SESSION['token']);
     else:
      $this->_returnCode = 0;
     endif;
    }


    function ReturnCode() {
## Result will be 1 for success or 0 for fail
      return $this->_returnCode;
    }


// end class definition
}
?>
Basically in my web form I call GenerateToken firstly, then when the forms been submitted I then call VerifyToken and finally check return codes using a switch statement, seems to work, 


TIA

Put your JS Code in html comments, like as follows.......
<script .......>
<!--
JS_CODE_HERE()

I seem to have a problem with Mozilla or with IE?

echo "<a name=\"".urlencode($mydata->district)."\"></a>";
<a name="Montr%E9al+District+%234"></a>
http://foo.org/_private/directory.php#Montr%E9al+District+%234 works in IE6, but Mozilla will not accept it.
Mozilla does not work. Am I approaching this wrong? Should I create my HTML this way? 

echo "<a name=\"".$mydata->district."\"></a>";
<a name="Montr�al District #4"></a>

If I do, Mozilla prferes this:

http://foo.org/_private/directory.php#Montr%E9al%20District%20#4
or
http://foo.org/_private/directory.php#Montr%E9al%20District%20%234

IE refuses it and prefers:

http://foo.org/_private/directory.php#Montr%E9al+District+%234
What's my work around? Complain to Mozilla? Same for Firefox BTW. I cannot change my field.

I'm truly hoping this is a reported bug already.

This URL does not work in most recent upgrades of Mozilla or FF:

http://www.glquebec.org/_private/directory.php#District+of+St.+Francis

I generate the link using PHP:

   if ("" != $mydata->district){
echo " - <a href=\"#".urlencode($mydata->district)."\">$mydata->district</a></h1>"; 
   }else{
   echo "</h1>";
   }

The link is named:
echo "<hr size=1><a name=\"".urlencode($mydata->district)."\"></a><h2>$mydata->district</h2>\n";
Unless you're going to tell me <a name=""> is outdated, (it is kind of in xhtml) there is a bug! 
Otherwise, how do I name an anchor now?

This works in IE6, even in NS4.8 but not Moz or FF. What's up Moz?

http://www.glquebec.org/_private/directory.php#District+of+St.+Francis

</snip>

I'm not sure, but I see two things that might be causing this.  First, why are 
spaces, which should be translated as %20, being represented as a '+'?

Second, you have a # in the actual bookmark name, which I would assume is not 
valid since the # denotes the beginning of a bookmark.  So perhaps IE 
compensates for this, but Mozilla reads the bookmark as looking for <a 
name="4"></a> because of the #4 at the end of the bookmark name.

HTH,

Your code is wrong, there is nothing wrong with Firefox's support for anchor tags (that im aware of) and IE dont do too badly with them either. Paste the following into a blank HTML file 
Shoule work...does for me, no problem.




<html><head><title></title></head><body>

<a href="#test%20link">click me</a>
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
<a name="test%20link">Ha, you clicked me, should work in Firefox 1.0.4 (Linux)</a> 

</body></html>








Im sure its just the �
Above works but not with an � (dont have IE) which leads me to think you should use the equivalent of the �

name attribute if type CDATA, so it should not be urlencoded, but htmlspecialchars used instead.
But this is not necessery because of other restrictions for name and id attributes:

Hello,

I've encountered a weird problem with using $_GET. I've recently moved
to a new hosting company and an old code suddenly stopped working
correctly.

>From my index page, I pass a value through the querystring to another
PHP script. The querystring parameter goes like ?catid=500.

In the script that attempts to get the value, I have the following code:

if (isset($_GET["catid"]))
{
   $catid = $_GET["catid"];
}
else
{
   $catid = 1;
}

What used to happen was $catid is assigned the value of $_GET["catid"]
if the catid parameter is passed through the querystring. But what
happens now is $catid is always set to 1 because $_GET["catid"] seems
to be always blank now. I've already tried removing the "isset()
check" and went directly assigning the value as such:

$catid = $_GET["catid"];

... but it still returned a blank value. What's happening to my
$_GET values? 

I hope someone can help. Is this something that can be
fixed by changing some configuration on the server? Is there something
that I need to change with my code?

Thanks!

Ric

He's using LAMP, in which case the 'L' stands for Linux. Therefore he
can't have Word or Excel installed, nor can he use OLE or COM.

You might be able to rig up something with Uno/OOo(and if you do I'd
like to see your code), but I've absolutely no experience with Uno,
and very little with OOo.

Alternatively if  you can find a way to create RTF's, you can AFAIK
pass them off as word docs, by passing the correct header. you can
IIRC do something similar by creating csv's and passing an Excel
Header file.
