Re: SV: [PHP-DB] Straightforward authentication?
Thanks for the password/info, however I have one further (possibly bumb) question, is there a commonly employed method of securing one's database to prevent hacker's peering in and viewing plain-text/hashed passwords? I use MySQL 3.22.32 with php4.0.3 Cheers. Russ On Thu, 13 Sep 2001 19:28:18 +0200 Torgil Zechel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A common way to identify a client is to use the challange-response algorithm.

The server then send V to the client which respond with H(V + Pc). Now, the server can compare H(V + Ps) with H(V + Pc). If they are equal, the user must have given the correct password! Otherwise the identification failed. The good thing with this algorithm is that no password need to be sent in plain-text between the client and the server. The random value is used to ensure that the response is not just something that a hacker has sniffed in a previous session. The downside is that the database must be secure, since the passwords are stored in plain-text. A even better way is of course to use SSL. In that case the client just send the password to the server and the server compares H(P) with the stored hash in the database.

Hi all: The few php/MySQL apps I've developed that required username/password access, have simply been a means of comparing usernames and hashes of passwords in a DB. My next application needs to be slightly more secure but nothing like the needs of protecting online banking or vulnerable private info. I have read several articles at phpbuilder.com and stuff at php.net, and frankly most of it seems to be overly contrived. I wonder wether some list members would be able to point me in the direction of code and/or tutorials that *explain* in English what they're doing and why. For example why they are storing an MD5() hash of something in a seperate file outside the web-server's doc-root etc etc. Once I have my head round the concepts I'll be posting my findings to a public location which list-members will be among the first to view.

RE: [PHP-DB] Stupid question=p
You can't store the array as an array, but what you can do is serialize the array to create a string, then store THAT in the database. For example: $myarray = your array of stuff; $myserializedarray = serialize($myarray) ; $myserialized array is now a string that you can store in the database. When you pull it out of the database, you can use the unserialize() function to turn it back into an array. See http://www.php.net/serialize for more information.

Take a look at the comment dates; the earliest ones date back to 1998, which IIRC was around version 3.0.12 of PHP if not earlier. Given PHPs open source nature I'd imagine any wrong-doings of setcookie() have been fixed but perhaps a PHP deveoper would be better able to comment on this.

I'd say take your pick, choose whatever's most comfortable for you. I'd recommend only looking at the username/password cookies if a PHP session hasn't been established though to save you from takeing a quick query to your DB for every hit on each page though.

RE: [PHP-DB] Cookies ???
Q1. If you simply wish to READ the cookie from each web page, you need do nothing. It is created atuomatically as a variable for you. For instance, a cookie named mycookie is available as $mycookie. Q2. The Cookie Path is the reference point on the web server. I creates a context for the cookie. It allows the cookie to be read when a web page comes from that specific directory. If you want it to be available from all directories, use /. Q3. The cookie can store multiple values that you concatenate together. For instance, to store username/password: setcookie( cookiename, $user#$password, time()+3600, /, .mydomain.com ); Then, upon reading the cookie: list($user,$password) = explode( #, $cookiename ); FYI...setcookie() has worked for me on IE 5.x and NN 5.x. -Original Message- From: Jason Caldwell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 11:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Cookies ???

From mysql's manual:
The last ID that was generated is maintained in the server on a
per-connection
basis. It will not be changed by another client. It will not even be
changed if
you update another AUTO_INCREMENT column with a non-magic value (that is,
a value that is not NULL and not 0).
As each thread is using it's own connection there is no need to lock the
table.
... that should answer your question. No need to worry, just trust that

[PHP-DB] Application-based locking with PHP?
Just wondering if anyone has tried doing quasi application based locking with PHP? My scenario is this. I'm constructing a database for my company to help keep track of trouble tickets, etc with a web-based frontend. I'm using PHP (obviously =]) for inputing/retrieving data and have a slight predicament. Since MySQL does table-level locking, if I put lock statements in my queries, it would cause two problems. One being the entire table being locked and two if the user just closes the webpage without exiting properly, the table would remain locked indefinately. So I'm trying to think of alternatives, one of which is using global variables to store table/record id's, and then evaluating the queries based on that information. So if John selects ticket # 5 and might be updating it, then when Bob attempts to select ticket #5, then the $id and $table variables would be checked against the variables stored when john placed his query, and bob would get a message saying that record #5 is locked or in-use by John and to try later. Is this feasible or is there a better way to do this?

If you want to rely on MySQL's table locking, but are worried about a user aborting the script, see: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.misc.php A combination of ignore_user_abort() and connection_aborted() will allow you to determine if the user has aborted, and unlock the table accordingly. -Original Message- From: Barry L.

This is because the first one is to complete the SQL statement, while the one after the parenthisis is to complete the PHP statement. Vera --- Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change.

Re: [PHP-DB] Application-based locking with PHP?
So long as you keep any referencial integrity from being broken by two nearly simultaneous updates I don't really see much of a problem. If two users update a trouble ticket what's the big issue? Perhaps a notification could be displayed on the update confirmation page letting one of the user's know that somebody else updated it while they also did. Take a look at bugzilla -- it chugs along just fine it seems w/out any bug locking mechanism. Probably not the ansewr you were looking for, however if you're still hellbent on getting a real locking mechanism in place you may wish to take a look at SysV semaphores at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sem.php. Overkill solution If you're familiar with using them in C you should be able to pick right up on it; if not then you may wish to consult manpages of whatever OS you're using (I assume *nix) for the C counterparts: man 2 semget man 2 semctl man 2 semop man 5 ipc man 3 ftok Even if you use them, which should be more trustworthy than DB locking, you end up with the problem of unlocking it after the user has exited. Perhaps you could use the shared memory functions to insert a timestamp at which the semaphore expires, store that stamp in session variable, then before the update compare the session variable with the value in shared memory. If they don't match they've lost their lock because they took too long to update and somebody else now has the semaphore and is in control of the update. Rather than lock on the ablitity to update the DB though you have to lock on the ability to look at and update the shared memory segment. I don't think PHP has an application-wide variable scope, so shared memory is probably your only option. And hey, if you're dealing with SysV semaphores anyway you might as well just do the whole thing in a SysV IPC style. :) /Overkill Solution If it's really -really- important, that's the only truly solid option I see. If it's not this important the I'd dump it, let people muddle with the same ticket at once and let them sort their differences out later.

RE: [PHP-DB] Quotes, double-quotes, and the like.
I'm sorry -- what I meant was that the resulting link links to that. The browser inserts http://localhost; to the beginning of the link as if I had built a relative link rather than a specific complete one. In other words, the browser for some reason sees the double-quote as another normal character rather than the opening and closing ends of a link.

RE: [PHP-DB] NEWBIE - Needs Assistance with Joins
actually artist_id = 'aid' will not work, since you are comparing artist_id with the string aid and not with the artists id in the second table... from a sql point of view the statement SELECT artist_name, album_title FROM artists, album_titles WHERE artist_id = aid is correct (if your names are UNIQUE and correct and if you only want 1:1 relations). For starters you could write the statement as one of the following: SELECT artists.artist_name, album_titles.album_title FROM artists LEFT JOIN album_titles ON artists.artist_id = album_titles.aid (might be RIGHT JOIN, I'm never sure...) or if everything is unique: SELECT artist_name, album_title FROM artists LEFT JOIN album_titles ON artist_id = aid Greets, Remo -Original Message- From: Jason Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 10:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Cecily Walker Kidd Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] NEWBIE - Needs Assistance with Joins - Original Message - From: Cecily Walker Kidd [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 5:42 AM Subject: [PHP-DB] NEWBIE - Needs Assistance with Joins Hello, I have two tables, one that contains an item id, album title name, and artist ID number.

Justin/Matthew, thanks for your replys. After some more research, it looks like MySQL does have some provisions for doing what I need, either thru constructive queries which can emulate row/column leveling locking as seen here: http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/o/Commit-rollback.html Or using cooperative advisory locking as mentioned here: http://www.mysql.com/doc/M/i/Miscellaneous_functions.html Regardless, this has become more of a MySQL list and I will post there from now on.
