I tried to understand htmlentities by putting this code into a test.php:
<?php
if(!$page) {
?>
<H3>Test of evil input</H3>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF?>">
<INPUT type="text" name="field1" size="100" maxlength="100">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="page" value="1">
<INPUT type="submit" name="submit" value="Check it!">
</form>
<?php
}
else
{
echo "field1=$field1<br>";
$field2=htmlentities($field1,ENT_QUOTES,UTF-8);
echo "field2=$field2<p>";
echo htmlentities($field1,ENT_QUOTES,UTF-8);
echo "<p>";
$str = "A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>";
// Outputs: A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>
echo htmlentities($str);
echo "<br>";
// Outputs: A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>
echo htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);
}
?>
The output on the screen is:
field1=*Greater input and lower input*
field2=<b>Greater input and lower input</b>
<b>Greater input and lower input</b>
A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>
A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>
I expected that it would give me in the second line:
field2=<b>Greater input and lower input</b>
and the lower two lines I expected as:
A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>
A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>
What do I miss understand here?

did you try to 'view-source' the page ?

It is doing that ;)
If you look at the source, you will see the expected output.

you are echo'ing the same field1 variable as before.
by your comments at the bottom of what you expected the output
to be, I think you are wanting to use the $field2 variable instead.
echo htmlentities($field1,ENT_QUOTES,UTF-8);
echo "<p>";
$str = "A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>";
// Outputs: A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>
echo htmlentities($str);
echo "<br>";

are you viewing this in the html source or in the browser window?

Hi all:
I'm working on a project wherein I need to be able to navigate to previous
and next sections of data. I'm wondering what the best way to code for this
would be.
When I enter the page, I'd like it to use something in the MySQL SELECT
such as "LIMIT 0,25", but the "0" portion needs to change with the appropriate
selections of "Next" or "Prev". I thought that setting Next or Prev as an
anchor back to the same page would let me pass along data, but it doesn't seem
to be happening, at least, not in the $_POST variables.
Any suggestions for me? Or maybe a recommendation for a similar page I
could view and learn from?
Thanks so much for any help you can send my way.
Jon

YES! Exactly! Something like that would be very nice to have.

Here it is:

I'm assuming that you know how to establish communication with your
database; how to set up your database; and how to use css and the
images as shown there.
If you get in trouble, I'm available for hire. :-)

The PEAR Pager class can do this for you. Together with the
Pager_Sliding package it works very well.

Hi!
Consider using Macports (http://www.macports.org/) to install it. After
installing macports onto your computer, do this in the terminal:
I ma using Macports, but it currently doesn't support PHP 5.3.
// This will give you the available variants (I think)
port info php5
To list package variants:
#> port variants php5

Hello,
I was wondering if this is possible? It seems in the apache mailing
list, that it is not possible per se, but any workaround thoughts?

WHY! Would you even want to pull that data first off?
It would be out dated as of the next transaction anyway.
Secondly if you can curl the data from the server, and get your account
information! I suggest you change banks.
Bad decision I think to make this attempt.
You can bet I will be watching your networks for an attempt on
authentication failures.
Because that request does not sound RIGHT to me.

Subject: [PHP] bank query and curl
I have a bank account and would like to query the last transactions.
I can do that now via web and think that I can convert this procedure to
a list of curl requests and finally put the result into a database on my
server.
Fortunately this bank account does not allow transactions, just viewing
the account.
Is there a guide available how to start this project?

With that attitude you'll end up keeping your money under your bed.
Anything my browser can do curl can do.

Why? If Ronald decides to access *his* account using a method other than
a browser, what is he doing wrong? The only downside to it is if he's
storing his authentication credentials somewhere so it can be an
automated process. Aside from that possibility I don't see the bad here.

Wow. Look everyone, he knows how to look up the owner of an IP address.
Phear his mad sysadmin skillz!
Seriously, I highly doubt Ronald is going to try anything against your
systems. Just curious about something... what would you do if he did try
something? Call your mother and have a little cry?

I would suggest the curl documentation. In order to duplicate what a
browser does you basically just need to make sure you persist cookies
between requests. Depending on what the site you're accessing does it
may not be particularly trivial to do this. You may end up needing to
parse each page that's returned to get the right URL to use for the next
request, but it shouldn't get any more complicated than that.
As I mentioned above I would strongly recommend that you do not store
your authentication credentials anywhere. If you need this to be an
automated system don't bother - it's not worth the risk.
Oh, and don't underestimate the damage that can be caused by someone
gaining access to this account. Just because you can't carry out
transactions through the site doesn't mean the information it gives you
access to can't be used for evil purposes.
One last thing... you may find yourself getting blocked from the banks
site if you make too many failed requests. You may want to pick another
site while you learn how curl works.
