[PHP-DEV] [PROPOSAL] Change (just slightly) read/write_property() and get_property_ptr_ptr() usage

2007-02-19 Thread Michael Wallner
Hi,

I'd like to suggest a change to how the read_property object handler operates.

Wouldn't it be reasonable for the engine to use get_property_ptr_ptr() whenever
it wants to modify a property and get rid of using read_property() for write
access?

That would make rather simple ops like concatenation, in-/decrementation etc 
work again with overloaded internal classes.  Just make the engine use
read_property() followed by a write_property() when there's no
get_property_ptr_ptr().

Punish me if I'm really that far off.

Thoughts?

Hello,

Does that fix the problem where:

  $object-theArray[] = (...);

is invalid when 'theArray' is implemented using __get()?

Whoever fixes that one could get all free drinks at PHP conferences:

PHP Hacker: Hi, I'm the guy who made it so you can add items to an array which
is returned through __get()
PHP Fanboy: Dude that is so awesome, how could I ever repay you!? Can I buy
you a beer?

I believe you can start buying drinks for Dmitry =)
This code:

?php
class test {
   private $var = array();
   function __get($name) { /* note the  */
   return $this-$name;
   }
}

$t = new test;
$t-var[] = first;
$t-var[][] = second;
$t-var[][][] = third;
var_dump($t);
?

produces the following output:

object(test)#1 (1) {
 [var:private]=
 array(3) {
   [0]=
   string(5) first
   [1]=
   array(1) {
 [0]=
 string(6) second
   }
   [2]=
   array(1) {
 [0]=
 array(1) {
   [0]=
   string(5) third
 }
   }
 }

No. It's about internal classes and information stored in C structures.

[PHP-DEV] Reference in the mail header

2007-02-19 Thread Kristoffer Hultenius
Hello everybody!

As a webhost that offer PHP-support for hundreds of customers, I have a 
concern.
The mail()-function is too easy to use for sending spam and even worse - 
there is (sometimes) almost impossible to trace the sender-account.

I've been looking into the source code and one very easy but yet powerful 
solution to trace spam would be to force a reference into the header.
As each vhost has its own config, a PHP-setting mail.reference would be 
enough.
This would be of great value for all webhosts out there and since we all 
want to limit spam on internet, why not include this?

You can find some (not tested) sample code below.

I hope you understand what I mean.
This is my first post here and I'm not familar with the PHP source code.

// Kristoffer Hultenius



Original code:

fprintf(sendmail, To: %s\n, to);
fprintf(sendmail, Subject: %s\n, subject);
if (headers != NULL) {
fprintf(sendmail, %s\n, headers);
}
fprintf(sendmail, \n%s\n, message);
ret = pclose(sendmail);


New code:

char *reference = INI_STR(mail.reference);

fprintf(sendmail, To: %s\n, to);
fprintf(sendmail, Subject: %s\n, subject);

if (reference) {
fprintf(sendmail, X-PHP-REFERENCE: %s\n, reference);
}

if (headers != NULL) {
fprintf(sendmail, %s\n, headers);
}
fprintf(sendmail, \n%s\n, message);
ret = pclose(sendmail);

 The mail()-function is too easy to use for sending spam and even worse -

You can solve this (mostly) in admin-space by setting the sendmail_path,
creatively, in php.ini.

For example, I can send mail with this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ php -d sendmail_path=/home/sean/bin/mailwrap
uniquehosthere -r 'mail(sean, subject, message body here);'

Here's /home/sean/bin/mailwrap:
(echo X-host-tag: $1 ; cat -) | /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

And here's the resulting mail:
From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Mon Feb 19 11:54:22 2007
X-Original-To: sean
X-host-tag: uniquehosthere
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: subject
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 11:54:22 -0500 (EST)
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Sean)

message body here


... I'm not shooting down your idea, but there _is_ a way to solve this
right away. (Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I don't see an
obvious way to get around this tag in userspace.) The sendmail_path
value could be set with php_admin_value in your VirtualHost config.

Hello Antony,

 Please comment and correct (if needed).

 Release Candidates
 --

 Release candidates are development packages released to check if any critical
 problems have slipped into the code during the previous development period.
 Release candidates are NOT for production use, they are for testing purposes 
 only
 even though in most cases there are (almost) no differences between the 
 general
 availability (GA) release and the last RC.
 You can help us detect problems by installing and testing release candidates
 on your own (non-production!) server.

This should read: You can help yourself...

 Installation problems.
 First of all, make sure the build process (on *nix only) and installation 
 went fine for you.
 PHP supports quite a number of operating systems on different platforms and 
 we continue
 to work on increasing this number.
 Although, you might encounter some problems during the installation and we 
 would
 like to know about them.

 Test engine.
 When done with the build, please run the test engine by using the 'make test' 
 command
 and send us the results (hit 'Y' when it asks you whether to send the report).
 This way we'll receive the required information about your system to fix the 
 problems
 detected by the test suite (if any).

 Real-life tests.
 We would also appreciate if you install the RC on your development server and 
 run
 your software. This would help us to detect any (unintentional) changes 
 between
 the release candidates and general releases.
 Such real-life tests are the most valuable because our test suite obviously 
 cannot
 cover every possible use case (but we're working on that).

 I believe running the test engine and providing us with feedback users help 
 _us_ in the first place.

If they only help us they wouldn't do anything. So we need to make clear
that they help themselves by running the tests and their own software.

 between
 the release candidates and general releases.
 Such real-life tests are the most valuable because our test suite obviously 
 cannot
 cover every possible use case (but we're working on that).

Release candidates are development packages released to check if any critical

Release candidates are NOT for production use, they are for testing purposes

even though in most cases there are (almost) no differences between the general
availability (GA) release and the last RC.
You can help us detect problems by installing and testing release candidates
on your own (non-production!) server.


This should read: You can help yourself...



I believe running the test engine and providing us with feedback users help 
_us_ in the first place.


If they only help us they wouldn't do anything. So we need to make clear
that they help themselves by running the tests and their own software.


Well, saying that they help only themselves is not true.

I'd say that was more accurate and more likely to inspire people to
contribute.
