Go one further; punish all IE users by infecting them...
Hmm, OK, so not my best or most serious suggestion maybe. I've relied on
having the OS report the file-type using the aforementioned file
command, and it seems to work OK. For really paranoid systems, I store
the file in a non web-accessible location and use a binary safe fopen()
to stream the file to the user.

That depends on whether the resize preserves metadata. ImageMagick's
-resize does. Internet Explorer will search the metadata looking for
HTML tags and other indications of file type, if it's in the first 255
bytes.
exif_read_data() only works for JPEG and TIFF, and IE is fairly secure
for JPEG, so it's not a problem if you restrict uploads to JPEG. But if
you extended your scheme to PNG, it's easy to imagine a vulnerability
being exposed for IE 6 clients.
The image data is another issue. Whether it's possible to construct an
image such that, when resized by a certain factor and then compressed by
a known algorithm, the resulting compressed stream contains given text,
is an open question. I suspect it is, but it probably won't be a
technique within reach of the average spammer until some security
researcher publishes a script.

There are some file types, such as .png and .wav, where that approach is
not at all secure. The file command will tell you that the file is
image/png, but IE 6 will detect it as text/html and run scripts in it.
The ClamAV step is almost pointless. It does nothing to deter an
attacker who is targeting your site specifically.

Well you need to know the TMP file name that has been in progress of
upload, it is usually at /tmp folder
also you need to know the actual size of file uploading, there is an
extension for PHP that will give you this info
but you need to compile it , on my cars site for uploading images I
am using this one

One problem I'm running into though, is how to check the local file

I can check and display the total uploaded size (ie, 437kb uploaded so

BEFORE it's
fully uploaded. I would like to say "437kb of 932kb uploaded so
far"... but
how do I get the "932" from the local file? It doesn't do too much
good to
say how much has been uploaded if they don't know how much is left...
I know it's possible (most other meters do this) - I just can't
figure out
how.
any hints?

it provides what I'm looking for). At the expense of sounding ignorant...
How do I add that extension to PHP? I looked through the example code, and
I get the idea of what's happening, but I don't know how to add it to my
server (I use shared hosting, though I have shell access). Does it need to
be built into a *.so or *.dll and added to the PHP.ini file? If so, how do
I build it?
In short, what next?

I tried installing it like the documentation said... but I got the following
errors. I contacted the hosting service (dreamhost) and they said they don't
provide support for pecl, though they do support perl. Anyone?

I have a mySQL database with 700,000 records in it, which are presently

What I'd like to do is create another field with a field where each and
every record number has a unique keyvalue. Example: "su5e23vlskd" for
records 1, and "34fdfdsglkdj4" for record 2. All that matters is that
it's unique, and isn't a number that can be guessed or an "autoincrement"
number, where a hacker can just figure out the keyvalue by incrementing
numbers. It doesn't matter to me if each keyvalue field is just numbers,
or a number/letter combination - - - all that matters is that each
keyvalue field is unique. Is there an automatic way that mySQL could do
that, or would I need to write a php script to somehow go through each
record and create this unique value?
Here is my answer to your question.
You can use this same logic to create unique id's for many things.

or just:
mysql_query("UPDATE test SET mykey=UUID()");
can't see any reason to go down the 'loop the dataset and roll your
own much less random, much more likely to collide, unique value' road.
sometimes less is more (although oddly more is never less ;-)
just be sure to read the docs regarding charsets and indexes to make
sure you don't inadvertently create a performance problem (due to
unused indexes):

Not terribly random:
7e55a4d0-1d31-102c-8104-001fd05507bc
7e8e9ed4-1d31-102c-8104-001fd05507bc

7f339bf0-1d31-102c-8104-001fd05507bc
But it's about as good as what has already come up :) I haven't come
accross UUID() before. It looks time based to me.

What about when more is black holes?

this does beg the question why don't you know the classname at runtime..
seems to be a slight design flaw and may make sense for you to post the
full problem (you must have chosen to implement this for a reason..)
if you really really must do this, you'd be best off to have a look at
reflection..
<?php
class TestClass {
public static $STEPS = array( 'foo' , 'bar' );
}
$testClass = new TestClass;
$rTestClass = new ReflectionClass( get_class($testClass) );
print_r( $rTestClass->getStaticPropertyValue('STEPS') );

this is also a not great but usable, stricter and faster solution:

public function steps() {
return self::getSteps();
}
public static function getSteps() {
return self::$STEPS;
}
public static function setSteps( $steps ) {
self::$STEPS = $steps;
}
}
$testClass = new TestClass;
print_r( $testClass->steps() );
?>
really though why..?

Check this out:

It actually won't work until 5.3.0 when they add late static binding.

Yeah, I got a good deal on the Internet compressed to 1.4 megs so I
could carry it on a floppy disk.

Floppies hold 1.4 megs now? Mine don't and they're even dual-sided. :(

Jay,
Throw out your 62K and 5.25" floppies and get with the 1980's,
brother. It's all about the 3.5" "hard" disks now. They're radical!

Ok. Let me back them up to these reel-to-reel tapes quick, just in case.

Just be careful that you don't get the Michaelangelo or Friday The

He's right... standard was actually 1.44 megs... though I swear, every
time I loaded one of those buggers I lost 10 to 50k to lost sectors. I
think I still have a few 3.5" disks buried someplace cold with my save
files for Rogue, Hero's Quest, and a slew of Dragonlance games. My wife
calls me a packrat :) They're probably half consumed by mold or
something.
Cheers,
Rob.

If I have a php script on my own server, can it be used to snatch a JPEG image
off of another server on a different domain and upload it to my server? For
example, could I provide an URL to an image on another server and a path on my
own server in which to place it? I know in the world of Ajax, I could run into
cross-domain security issues, but I'm wondering if I can get around that with
PHP.

Yes, this can be done quite easily.
<?php
$content = file_get_contents( 'http://www.foo.com/images/foo.png' );
file_put_contents( '/tmp/foo.png', $content );
?>
You will need fopen wrappers enabled for this to work. Either way, there
are other ways to skin the cat if fopen wrappers cannot be enabled.

Rob.

Brilliant!
Now why do all these other scripts I've found make it look so hard??
http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/CURL
Take a look at the last script on that site. I suppose it's because of all the
error-handling. That last "downloader class" looks promising, through I'm not
sure how to pass an URL into it to get and save to a special directory on my
server. I like your example better.

curl can handle timeouts much better (file_get_contents will timeout
when the server on the other end says so). it can also tell you if a 404
is returned, and handle basic authentication.
file_get_contents is very simple. if i replace foo.png with a 404 page,
that's what you'll get - and that's what you'll save as your image.

If you use stream context, you can set timeout to file_get_contents() as well.
