Re: [PHP] Linked drop down selection lists and dynamically generatedlinks

this is of course, keeping in mind, that your backend (database data) is not

True! If you have dynamic stuff you might consider having an invisible
entity on your page that gets refreshed at constant intervals with a
server call and contains a flag result. Any time the flag is set
user-interaction will fire the PHP refresh, while you will still be
using javascript when possible.
This will save you a lot of user complaints. People hate to wait for a
second. It's maaad world :)
This road leaves a potential inconsistency problem that you shall solve
on the final PHP call: user might send in the data before the flag is
set. In that case you shall refresh the data and ask the user to repeat
input. It's called an optimistic strategy :)
Actually, whether you can use it or not depends on the update frequency
of your dynamic data. Plus some tailoring on the intervals (you don't
want to kill your server by sending it millions of check-the-content
requests). Decision is based on the number of users and the update
frequency.

It sounds like you need an exact match; note that your regex is matching
against substrings, thus additional invalid characters are allowed to pass.
Anchor the pattern, so that it essentially says From beginning to end, the
only chars allowed are one or more digits, optionally followed by the
combination of a period then two more digits. (The ^ and $ special
chars are anchors.)
A regex special character loses it specialness when it's either escaped
with a backslash, or included within a square-bracketed character class;
you don't need to do both.
The {1} is implied; you don't need it.
if (preg_match(/^\d+(\.\d{2})?$/, $form_data[amount]))

AFAIK this is no ANSI SQL, which is why is not portable. Your query
should really be
SELECT
extract('year', time),
extract('month', time)
count(*) as monthly_views
FROM
visitors
group by
extract('year', time),
extract('month', time)
order by
monthly_view desc
limit 1
*BUT* extract doesn't seem to be a MYSQL function, you most probably
need to use DATE_FORMAT. Look in the Mysql docs for this.
As a general ANSI rule group by functions *need* the fields on which
result is grouped to appear *first* in the query. Take half an hour to
look at the GROUP BY docs in MySQL online manual, everything will become
much clearer.

I take it that you have a *monthly_view* column in your table that is
not the *monthly_views* alias yoiu use in your query. if that's a typo

That's because most databases (and I guess MySql is no exception) will
not be able to use an alias in their GROUP BY, ORDER BY clauses. But you
may want to try, maybe MySql *is* an exception, after all.

So, let's see if I got you right:
Form 1: a textfield, you submit it to another page (no matter whether it
is on the same host or not, this should not make any difference)
Form 2 contains:
1) a hidden field with the value from form 1
2) another text field for new user input
You submit form 2 and nl2br does not work on the values of the hidden
field. Right?
If that is so it's simply because once the value gets put in
form2/field1 it has already lost the new lines.
So you should run nl2br on it *before* it gets submitted the second
time. Do it when you send the value to form2.

Okay, this means Form 1 can be entered from two directions:
1) the usual sequence (that is, the way users usually get to it)
2) getting back from Form 2
If you place a button on Form2 saying go back to form 1 when your user
presses it just post your current data back to the script of form1.
*PLUS* you add a hidden field called *FLAGBACK* (or whatever you want to
call it like.
when the script that prepares form1 is called it must check for
*FLAGBACK* being present. If not, it will do the same old stuff, if yes
you just write a new branch that will put the data back into form 1. Easy.
*BUT* all this will never protect your user in case he just presses
*back* on his browser. Make sure this is well explained on the page.

In this regard in most applications MySQL is MUCH faster probably because it has to do allot less work then PostgreSQL does. For example, lets analyze the most common action performed in a database system, a SELECT. When you do a select in MySQL, MySQL internally locks the table for the duration of the select. PostgreSQL on the other hand does a row level lock, internally, for every row you select. Is this really what you want? Doesn't this mean that PostgreSQL would be more efficient for larger user volumes? Locking an entire table isn't usually a good thing. Not necessarily, locking entire table has its pluses and minuses. The BIG minues is that while the entire table is locked you cannot do anything until the lock is released. On the other hand, it is MUCH faster to lock the entire table then the inidividual rows. PostgreSQL would be more effecient on a system that does lots of locking, but on a system without or few locks MySQL will beat it hands down.

RE: [PHP] Help needed with hexdec();
I spent many frustrating days debugging a similar problem. I
don't understand exactly what is going on, but it seems that the
problems revolve around PHP's treatment of an integer as signed
or unsigned.
Through experimentation I determined that the way you specify an
integer constant (decimal or hex) with the sign bit on will
affect how PHP treats that integer.
Try the following: determine the signed decimal equivalents of
the two hex integers in your code replace the hex
representations with the decimal equivalents. So, if I'm
remembering correctly (please check my math), the line
if ($a hexdec())
would become
if ($a -1)
See if this makes a difference.

I have to convert a perl script to PHP trying to do so
I get negative
values from hexdec(), If I use (int)hexdec() the
numbers aren't negative
anymore, but they do not add up to what they should.
Here's the perl line:
$a = FF ($a, $b, $c, $d, $temparr[8], $S11, hex(698098d8));
this is PHP:
$a = FF ($a, $b, $c, $d, $temparr[8], $S11,
hexdec(698098d8));
FF is a function:
function FF($a,$b,$c,$d,$x,$s,$ac)
{
$a += F($b,$c,$d) + $x + $ac;
if ($a hexdec())
{
$a = substr($a,strlen($a)-9,9) ;
}
$a = RL($a,$s);
$a += $b;
return $a;
}
F is also a function:
function F($x, $y, $z)
{
return ((($x) ($y)) | ((~$x) ($z)));
}
Could anybody tell me what I am missing here?

Re: [PHP] transporting variable via post to another site
sorry maybe I did explain it not good enough.
The problem is that if a user has entered data in form 2 goes back to form 1
and forward to form 2 again, the data he entered once in form 2 is lost. And
I do not find a way how the get the data out of form 2 because the back
button is placed in form 3 (same site as form2 ) to allow a different action
since we have to link to another site then in form 2.
sounds confusing? I know but I hope I explained it ok

Okay, this means Form 1 can be entered from two directions:
1) the usual sequence (that is, the way users usually get to it)
2) getting back from Form 2
If you place a button on Form2 saying go back to form 1 when your user
presses it just post your current data back to the script of form1.
*PLUS* you add a hidden field called *FLAGBACK* (or whatever you want to
call it like.
when the script that prepares form1 is called it must check for
*FLAGBACK* being present. If not, it will do the same old stuff, if yes
you just write a new branch that will put the data back into form 1. Easy.
*BUT* all this will never protect your user in case he just presses
*back* on his browser. Make sure this is well explained on the page.

Re: [PHP] inserting linebrakes in multisite forms
Hi alberto,
I did try this out, but somehow this happens:
text br / br / text in new line
br/ is exacly where the linebrakes should be, but instead it is typed on

Is there a solution for this?

So, let's see if I got you right:
Form 1: a textfield, you submit it to another page (no matter whether it
is on the same host or not, this should not make any difference)
Form 2 contains:
1) a hidden field with the value from form 1
2) another text field for new user input
You submit form 2 and nl2br does not work on the values of the hidden
field. Right?
If that is so it's simply because once the value gets put in
form2/field1 it has already lost the new lines.
So you should run nl2br on it *before* it gets submitted the second
time. Do it when you send the value to form2.

Honestly yes, it does :( Cant't you draw a sort of diagram? Besides, I
will probably also need to know how data is modelled (that is, what your
tables look like) to give you meaningful advice.

Re: [PHP] Mailing all the elements of a form
If you just want ALL the fields of the form the appear one after the other
(with something \n after each), then you could just loop through the POST
vars (assuming you used form action=blah.php method=post), which would
be either in the $_POST array or the $HTTP_POST_VARS array.
something like:
?
// untested code
$msg = Type email header here\n\n;
foreach($_POST as $key = $value)
{
$msg .= {$key}: {$value}\n;
}
$msg .= \nEmail footer here;
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
?
Assuming you had the usual $first_name / $last_name / $email_address /
$password kinda form, this would result in an email something like:
---
Type email header here
first_name: Justin
last_name: French
email_address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
password: foofoo
Email footer here
---
Warning:
1. this leaves you wide open to evil people submitting evil things via the
form... I'd look at strip_tags(), trimming longer than expected strings,
etc.
2. this doesn't give you much in the way of formatting options, or breaking
the vars into sections
For a totally secure form, with trusted data, I'd be coding the message body
by hand checking to make sure that the values submitted were not suspicious,
and were as expected.
However, for a quick-and-nasty form, or for an intranet where you trust the
submitters (eg your own staff perhaps), this *might* be sufficient.

Re: [PHP] Authorization
You need to tell us what version of PHP you're running in both
environments... this should have been your first step -- detrmining the
difference between the two set-ups, basically using php_info().
My guess is that you're running PHP 4.2 on the local machine, which has a
default setting of register_globals OFF in your php.ini file, which
contradicts what your live server has it set to.
The short answer is to turn register_globals ON, the long answer would be:
1. read the release notes for the recent versions
2. check out the millions of threads and messages in this lists' archives,
mostly with the subject register globals
3. read up on the new predefined variables such as $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_GET,
$_SESSION, etc etc, and learn how to modify your scripts to run in this more
secure manner:

Where would I be able to find examples of code which does this sort of processing? Hi, I would do it in PHP, because you can never ever rely on Javascript (is it on? what version? what browser?). Javascript is good for additional UI smoothing, but should never be a requirement (nor should cookies be). Here's a simple quick code (partial) how I'd do it on one php page: http://photography-on-the.net/php/3_choice_select.php Use the resulting ID's to query the full data of the product found. There is source code and db dump link in the bottom of that page. The database is very normalized. I did and debugged this in couple of hours (I know, I'm slow), and this needs _plenty_ of more code like clearing choices from product and version when platform is changed, and checking valid platform id etc... this is just a core which gives you id's for additional queries. If you improve this please share the code! Hope this helps, Pekka http://photography-on-the.net
Re: [PHP] HTTPS vs. HTTP ?
On Sat, 6 Jul 2002, Richard Lynch wrote: I think we both agree that any old certificate is secure from snooping, right? I would disagree with that. In order to snoop on a connection, you need to have some access to the link. This may be by being in the same building with one of the endpoints, or by being in the same building as one of the ISPs involved, or by having remotely compromised a machine in one of the above locations. If you have this access, then you can divert packets. You can move wires around, or you can outrace a router and take over a connection as it's being initiated. Therefore you can present a certificate which is indistinguishable to the client from the real server's self-signed certificate, effectively hijacking the session. Yes, a CA signed certificate is nominally better than a non-signed one, since you know that at some point, somebody paid somebody at least $119 (US), and that the certificate has the same domain name as the domain name of the computer you are now surfing to. You don't know it's the same computer, though, right? It could easily be a stolen Cert and hijacked domain. For that matter, you don't know that a CRIMINAL purchased the CA signed Certificate in the first place. No, but the chances of each of these other things happening are progressively less. A certificate signed by a known certificate authority tells you that the server you're talking with has a unique token provided to the entity named. That's better than not knowing that. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Sorry, what exactly are you trying to do here?
As for a general advice:
1) use libraries. Make yourself a public dibconnect funcion. Chances
are your user/password will differ depending on where the code gets
executed (production or development) You don't want to go thru
hundreds of scripts the recode that, right?
2) Look for a very old PD class called FastTemplate. I know people
will object that it adds to general execution and lowers
performance, but that will allow you to keep your HTML code
well separated by your scripting. And it does help, especially
when you are not sure about what you are doing.

I have two related tables. The first has about 12 records, each of which is
related to about 12 records in the second table. I want to have two
interconnectedt dropdown list fields. The fisrt is used to select from the
first table and when the value has been selected, use it to determine the
contents of the second drop down list. Once the second field has been
selected I want to use this data to otain the name of the form to be used to
display data selected using the two fields.
Obviously I can do this by having interrelated pages where the value from
the first fields is carried to the second page and used to populate the
second drop down list. I can then presumably dynamically generate the link
to the required page and pass over what paraeters are needed.
Is there any way of doing this so within a single page?
Can this be done using only PHP or do I need to use Javascripts?
Where would I be able to find examples of code which does this sort of
processing?
Any adivice would be gratefully received.

Re: [PHP] Mailing all the elements of a form
Hi Jeremy
You might try the following:
1. set your form elements up so each input can be accessible as part of an
associative array e.g.
FORM ...
input type=text name=input_array[forename] value=
input type=text name=input_array[lastname] value=
/FORM
2. create a trusted fields array in your mailing script:
$trusted_fields = array(forename, surname);
order this array in the order you wish the form items to be mailed, e.g. forename,
surname, address etc.
3. loop through each item in the trusted fields array and get the value of the
corresponding field out of the input_array, build the body of your email and send as
required - as you go through each field you can do form validation, and format the
output as required, for example:
foreach ($trusted_fields as $trusted_field) {
if (!empty($input_array[$trusted_field]))
$body .= $trusted_fields[$trusted_field] . : . $input_array
[$trusted_field] . \n;
}
This in theory will build the body as field: field_value\n.. for each field in the
the trusted_fields array that is not empty.
code untested - but concept should work.

Re: [PHP] HTTPS vs. HTTP ?
In public key cryptography, it is the *keys*, not the digital certificate that encrypt/decrypt the communication. Okay. I break into his co-lo, I walk off with his computer, and I break into his office, I walk off with his computers, I kill the guy, and I kidnap his wife. I have everything. I have his Certs, his keys, his server, his domain, *EVERYTHING*. This is not *IMPOSSIBLE*, no matter how unlikely it is painted. But let me paint a more-likely scenario. Some guy sets up a tiny on-line retail shop on his $20/month ISP. Whoo-Hooo! He gets hacked, never even notices, and his Certs and keys are all stolen. Meanwhile, the guy good enough to do that is also good enough to routinely hijack his domain name for short periods of time. Game Over. How about another, even *easier* scenario. I set up a nice little retail shop that specializes in hard-to-find items. I scour the 'net for things people can't seem to find anywhere else, not even eBay. Nothing big or really expensive, just odd parts and pieces of things. I build a nice big web-site catalog shopping cart. I buy a Cert for a whopping $119. I collect the credit cards for a day or two, I charge them nine ways to Sunday, and I take off. Game Over. How about an even *easier* scenario: I find a web-site that is storing the credit-card numbers in their database, and rip them off. Game Over. that issued his certificate, he may as well let you run your rogue site off of his server; it's the same difference. Exactly! Or, he may as well be the criminal and *GET* a CA signed certificate for his criminal web-site. I do not trust that a CA Signed Cert is worth the bits its stored in. If you trust Microsoft with Security, shop away. Think of it this way. Let's use https://www.amazon.com/ as an example. Do you trust doing business with them? I sure do; at least I trust 100% that my HTTP requests are going to get to the www.amazon.com server safely. If someone stole their SSL certificate: Forget amazon.com. Real-world example from *MY* personal life: Stick with unknowncompany.com -- a site you do *NOT* know, you do *NOT* trust, but they are the only ones that have the power-supply you need to run your laptop. You can: A) Throw away your laptop. B) Risk the fact that an unknown site with a CA Signed Certificate (Ooh I'm impressed (not)) is the only one who can sell you the part you need to power the laptop. C) Try (and fail miserably) to find the part in real stores, and go back to A or B. Yes, this really happened to me. Yes, I really bought the thing on-line. No, I had no trust that they weren't crooks or at least incompetents. Yes, that's why the current system is insufficient. Yes, that's why I think it is ridiculous that people have essentially been trained to trust that little lock icon in the browser, no matter how naive that is, and how untrustworthy it is. Now, on to stealing their domain name. All of a sudden, Amazon is getting no traffic. Think they won't notice? Again, forget Amazon. There *ARE* on-line retailers who don't get any traffic, whose ISP's are so crappy their site is down all the time. Think they would notice? How quickly? What's their response? Call up the ISP and complain, and the ISP says Hmmm, it's working okay now. Probably just a network outage Think it matters since the HTTP requests you'll be receiving can't be decrypted by you anyway? Assume I've also stolen their Cert and keys and whatever else it takes to steal your credit card number. Yes, there are fewer sites where that's possible, but is it 0? No. Is it growing, as more and more mom-n-pop on-line stores are built on $20/month hosts with crappy Security? Are you telling me you've never walked in to an eCommerce site to find major, huge, gaping holes in their security? Are you telling me those sites don't exist? Actually, assume the other way around -- I've hacked his server, stolen his Certs and private keys, and now... Can I *sometimes* hijack his domain name, for brief periods of time? Say, a few minutes? Just long enough to steal a few CC numbers, and then blip! un-steal it? Okay, *I* can't do it, but aren't there a fair number of hackers out there that can? Who's gonna notice that? Some orders go missing? The site is mysteriously down or off the net for a few minutes, or maybe even *less* than a minute. A couple customer complaints. Maybe even a customer swears up and down that we must have lost his CC # because it's the only place he used it. *MAYBE* a good company will catch on. I bet against. But let's even assume our site-owner *NOTICES* his stolen domain name, and maybe even knows he got hacked and the Certs and keys all got stolen. Let's even give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they reported the hack within, oh 24 hours, to their CA and they get a shiny new Certificate. I, Richard Lynch, do *NOT* trust the CA Signers (Microsoft, et al) to correctly respond to a security problem. I know

[PHP] flip function
Hi all,
Call me crazy if you want but I'm programming Haskell Code in PHP :-). I
need some help to find a way to implement the Haskell flip function. Let
me introduce flip:
Flip receives two arguments: arg1 and arg2
arg1 must be the name of a function taking two arguments, name it f(x1,x2)
arg2 is any variable
Flip returns a function taking one argument, name it g(x), if you
call g(foo) then the result will be the same as calling f(foo,arg2).
Example:
function add($x1,$x2) {return $x1+$x2;}
$newfunc = flip(add,23);
$result = $newfunc(12);
// $result should be 23+12
I've tried with create function, for example:
function flip($f,$arg) {
return create_function('$y','return '.$f.($arg.',$y);');
}
But if you use flip(foo,$o1) where o1 is an object then it won't work.
There should be some workaround using references and who knows what...
but I'm too old to find it, ideas?
Garland.

Hi,
I tried to suppress warnings in isset expressions (Uninitialized string
offset warnings). The original line was something like this:
if (!(isset($GLOBALS['SPEEDY_GLOBAL_VARS']['PAGE_NAME'])))
When I added the @ sign like this:
if (!(isset(@$GLOBALS['SPEEDY_GLOBAL_VARS']['PAGE_NAME'])))
My program stopped working, and I got errors like:
PHP Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_VARIABLE' or `'$''
Eventually, I put the @ in this place:
if (!(@isset($GLOBALS['SPEEDY_GLOBAL_VARS']['PAGE_NAME'])))
Which works, but why didn't it work the other way? Is it some kind of
PHP bug?
I'm using PHP Version 4.1.2
Thanks,
Uri.

Re: [PHP] Problem with SQL query
ðÒÉ×ÅÔ!
Mark Charette wrote:
LIMIT was not included in the SQL92 SQL standards and very few vendors
implement all of SQL99; the use of ANSI standards to promote portable
programs has always been beset by this kind of problems.
Yes, and vendors just love to have proprietary standards to protect
their market shares. The basic idea is that since you cannot just switch
from an engine to another without seriously risking your application
stability you will tolerate the yes, it's a known bug answer, whenever
your 100 thousand dollars application cannot print a simple data report
because trying to set fonts size will crash the current job. Or when
real numbers are returned with a different values from the one you wrote
in.
Not talking about MeAndMyFriendJoe'sXperimentalSQLMachineGun 0.0, That
was Oracle 7.3 with Developer (fonts) and Oracle 8.something under WinNT
(floating real number values).
Eventually they solved both the problems (I have to say they even did it
quick) but you can imagine the atmosphere when the final customer had to
be told that they had invested an overall amount of 25k$ a day for 2
years just not to be able to print a common report and that Oracle just
answered yes, it's a known bug - bug precedence level: low.
Which actually meant: go ** yourselves, we ain't got no time for your
stupid customers. If only they could switch engine... But they switched
to their lawyers in instead and kept the engine running, because no ANSI
was there (and because we all knew that no better stability was to be
found on other vendors anyway).
Some things in escaping the ANSI standard are useful, though. Things like
Oracle's DECODE and the LIMIT clause do make query sets smaller and
quicker.
And yet, IMHO most of the opposition to ANSI comes from a mere
commercial point of view.
This way vendors can keep releasing poor alpha stuff and call it a
stable release without having to worry about spending test money. Test
is something you are going to do yourself, paying for it with your own
money and your own professional credibility. No wonder vendors are happy
with it.

then
flip(foo,$o1)
I guess you will need same experimental work (and a lot of patience),
but once you can fix the root problem usually everything else goes okay.
Just watch out for null returns. If you return an unassigned variable
from an object member the most fantastic things begin to happen. And
before reinstalling PHP from scratch (and exploring all of the 4 letters
words you can think of) you should really check that you just simply did
not end over an unassigned variable :)

Re: [PHP] HTTPS vs. HTTP ?
I think I'm going to forget trying to explain the technical details, because somehow this conversation is completely missing the point now. :) SSL allows you to be sure that your credit card number is getting safely and securely to the Web site identified by a certain domain name. That's all it does, but that is not something trivial. Are you trusting a domain name by trusting SSL? No, not exactly. You are trusting the system that I explained in great detail to ensure that your communication is reaching that domain name securely (not just encrypted). This is a significant thing, and it is a system that I have great respect for. Everything else is no different than using your credit card at a physical establishment, so it's not really helpful to debate those points anyway. Chris P.S. - CA means Certificate Authority.

You are running into client behavior that is out of your control. If I had to print that much stuff, I'd generate one big document containing all of them, and insert page breaks. Then it would go as a single print job. If your operator is using IE, Try something like p style=page-break-before:always at the top of each new invoice. Otherwise, generate RTF or PDF. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

OR RATHER do I need to store the physical image file in the database location and query it that way? It's obviously much easier to store the link or the file name in the database.

Meaning, either your DNS has to be properly configured to include thie remote machine, or you need to add it to your /etc/hosts file. To see whether I'm even on the right track, try to telnet or ftp manually rather than make a database connection. You should see the same timeout condition occur, because the remote machine will basically try to see who is connecting, and if it can't figure it out, it's going to first time out before giving up.

Personally, I think the concept of NEEDING https is a bit rediculous. Generally, trying to get through the front door, would be the same as trying to get through a concrete wall with a baseball bat... Now, finding a back door, and getting at THEIR database is the REAL key. people don't generally try and hack routers... most current router systems haven't been hacked.. there are attempts, same as anything else.. it just isn't very common. if you can steal the keys, you can steal the database, which holds more than stealing a site for a few minutes. -- === Michael J.

I have his Certs, his keys, his server, his domain, *EVERYTHING*. This is not *IMPOSSIBLE*, no matter how unlikely it is painted. But let me paint a more-likely scenario. Some guy sets up a tiny on-line retail shop on his $20/month ISP. Whoo-Hooo! He gets hacked, never even notices, and his Certs and keys are all stolen. Meanwhile, the guy good enough to do that is also good enough to routinely hijack his domain name for short periods of time. Game Over. How about another, even *easier* scenario. I set up a nice little retail shop that specializes in hard-to-find items. I scour the 'net for things people can't seem to find anywhere else, not even eBay. Nothing big or really expensive, just odd parts and pieces of things. I build a nice big web-site catalog shopping cart. I buy a Cert for a whopping $119. I collect the credit cards for a day or two, I charge them nine ways to Sunday, and I take off. Game Over. How about an even *easier* scenario: I find a web-site that is storing the credit-card numbers in their database, and rip them off. Game Over. that issued his certificate, he may as well let you run your rogue site off of his server; it's the same difference. Exactly! Or, he may as well be the criminal and *GET* a CA signed certificate for his criminal web-site. I do not trust that a CA Signed Cert is worth the bits its stored in. If you trust Microsoft with Security, shop away. Think of it this way. Let's use https://www.amazon.com/ as an example. Do you trust doing business with them? I sure do; at least I trust 100% that my HTTP requests are going to get to the www.amazon.com server safely. If someone stole their SSL certificate: Forget amazon.com. Real-world example from *MY* personal life: Stick with unknowncompany.com -- a site you do *NOT* know, you do *NOT* trust, but they are the only ones that have the power-supply you need to run your laptop. You can: A) Throw away your laptop. B) Risk the fact that an unknown site with a CA Signed Certificate (Ooh I'm impressed (not)) is the only one who can sell you the part you need to power the laptop. C) Try (and fail miserably) to find the part in real stores, and go back to A or B. Yes, this really happened to me. Yes, I really bought the thing on-line. No, I had no trust that they weren't crooks or at least incompetents. Yes, that's why the current system is insufficient. Yes, that's why I think it is ridiculous that people have essentially been trained to trust that little lock icon in the browser, no matter how naive that is, and how untrustworthy it is. Now, on to stealing their domain name. All of a sudden, Amazon is getting no traffic. Think they won't notice? Again, forget Amazon. There *ARE* on-line retailers who don't get any traffic, whose ISP's are so crappy their site is down all the time. Think they would notice? How quickly? What's their response? Call up the ISP and complain, and the ISP says Hmmm, it's working okay now. Probably just a network outage Think it matters since the HTTP requests you'll be receiving can't be decrypted by you anyway? Assume I've also stolen their Cert and keys and whatever else it takes to steal your credit card number. Yes, there are fewer sites where that's possible, but is it 0? No. Is it growing, as more and more mom-n-pop on-line stores are built on $20/month hosts with crappy Security?

Especially since most of us (put me as first one in the list) should know much more about PKI ourselves before judging anybody's knowledge :) Which is why we keep making questions that sometimes may be pretty absurd. I was trying to point out how insecure this model would be if encryption were all that SSL provided and the only trust involved was the trust of a domain name. Yes, I've got it now. No government, as far as I know, can break the public key cryptography currently being used by most SSL-enabled sites (using the strong security - 128 bit certificates). This includes the United States. I was saying this because I remember (maaany years ago, when the whole PGP thing started) reading some fire exchanges about RSA keys and the way the encrypting chips were going to be friendly to american eyes. Honestly, at that time I was not that interested to the issue and I just gave it a quick read, which left me with a wrong opinion. Now, SSL only encrypts your communication in transit, of course. I'm sure your local government could find a way to make the entity you are communicating with release the information in the communication to them. This is, of course, outside the scope of SSL. And outside the scope of my worries :) I am responsible for the software I deliver, whatever happens out of it is none of my bag :) However, it is adequate to know that one key is used to do the encrypting, while the other is used for the decrypting. These are generally referred to as public and private keys, because one is made available to the public while the other is kept safely stored (in the case of Web browsers, it is stored in the certificate repository of the browser). Yes, glad that I did use PGP sometimes :) this part is clear :) So Verisign is actually just signing the key as I did on PGP and that means anyone trusting me can trust you if they receive a message signed with your key, because when evaluating the message they will now it';s been signed by a key that I would trust myself. Right? Man, I don't even wanna imagine where and how Verisign password is kept LOLOL Digital certificates solve this problem. A digital certificate, as RSA describes it, is a document that says: I guarantee that this particular public key is associated with this particular user; Trust me! So actually, when you spend your $200 what happens is: 1) Verisign (or whoever) starts a process to control they really wanna play with you (and this has nothing to do with IT or SSL, they will have their own policies) 2) Verisign (or whoever) starts a process to control your public key and possibly something else in your system 3) If the above has a positive answer they just sign your kay and hand it over to you. So there is no need for a central db. Trust is *in* the key and need not be searched for. The only thing to do is to verify that the trusting key has not been revoked. That is, if it works like PGP. But this is probably too easy, as this way they would have no way to revoke my key without invalidating all keys on this planet. So this is a simplification. But just tell me if I got the basic message. So, assuming for the moment that we trust the certificate, we can assume that a particular public key belongs to a particular user. For example, you can be guaranteed that a public key belongs to me (Chris Shiflett) and thus, only Chris Shiflett will be able to decrypt the communication. If someone is trying to pose as me, you may send them encrypted communication, but they won't be able to decrypt it. Yes, because they have stolen the public key and could crypt the question but since they have not the private key they cannot open the answer. Well, I disagree that this has nothing to do with the SSL protocol itself. Identification is a very important part of enabling secure transactions to take place over the Web. Without this, there would be no ecommerce as it has been dubbed. ... Of course, as users of Web browsers such as Netscape and Internet Explorer, we have to trust AOL/Time Warner and Microsoft, respectively, (yeah, scary thought) to only trust CAs that have high integrity, security, etc. An extensive CA (Certification and Accredidation) process is used to make this guarantee.

When I sent them some Delaware incorporation document, they were familiar enough with the format to know that an (unnumbered) page was missing, and to ask me to find it and fax it to them. What we *do not* believe (correct me Richard if I misunderstood you) is that Verisign (or whoever in their place) will actually do more than verifying that www.goodguys.org is really existing and it's there.

Right? I have very little experience with PGP, so I can't confirm the similarities here. However, I think you may be still misunderstanding the role of VeriSign (I could easily be wrong). I'll explain it again briefly, just to be certain. The asymmetric cryptography that guarantees your HTTP communication cannot be decrypted except by the final recipient is only half (or less than half) of the battle. You need to also have some sort of assurance that the final recipient is who they claim to be and not an imposter. When you apply for a digital certificate from VeriSign, you must present a request in a specific format. Part of this process of purchase involves you proving that you are the holder of the public key (verified by the generation of the request by your Web server software) and the legitimate owner of the specific domain name the certificate is being used for. With this information, VeriSign will use the fact that pretty much every Web client on the planet trusts VeriSign to issue you a certificate that says: We, VeriSign, assure you that the following public key belongs to www.niceguy.org. This means that nearly every Web client on the planet will trust that the public key mentioned in that digital certificate really belongs to www.niceguy.org, so any communication encrypted with it can only be decrypted by the private key of www.niceguy.org. Digital certificates solve this problem. A digital certificate, as RSA describes it, is a document that says: I guarantee that this particular public key is associated with this particular user; Trust me! So actually, when you spend your $200 what happens is: 1) Verisign (or whoever) starts a process to control they really wanna play with you (and this has nothing to do with IT or SSL, they will have their own policies) 2) Verisign (or whoever) starts a process to control your public key and possibly something else in your system 3) If the above has a positive answer they just sign your kay and hand it over to you. So there is no need for a central db. Trust is *in* the key and need not be searched for. The only thing to do is to verify that the trusting key has not been revoked. VeriSign doesn't do extensive checks on your use of the digital certificate, because that is all outside of the scope of SSL. Their methods are to ensure that the claim they are making in the digital certificate (mentioned above) is true. Since that's all they're guaranteeing, that's all they need to ensure. Also, VeriSign does keep a central repository of all digital certificates it has issued. Next time you are on an SSL site, go into the security configuration menus specific to your browser and see if you can find a way to verify the certificate. This will manually kick off the process to verify the certificate with the CA. You can revoke a certificate to make it fail this check and pretty much render it useless, except that people can still use it to encrypt email. So, assuming for the moment that we trust the certificate, we can assume that a particular public key belongs to a particular user. For example, you can be guaranteed that a public key belongs to me (Chris Shiflett) and thus, only Chris Shiflett will be able to decrypt the communication.

Then, only niceguy.org will be able to decrypt the communication, regardless of who receives it. The digital certificate is quite public itself. If you go to an SSL-enabled site, you can view theirs (since they have to present it to your browser). The statement it makes doesn't change, so it doesn't matter if the criminal has possession of it; it's public anyway (just like the key). The private key is the

Re: [PHP] compare variables from text fields...
In what way do you want to compare them? to see if they are the same
string? the same type of var? different? greater than? less than?
My guess is that you want them to be the same (as in the case of two
passwords), in which case it's simple:
?
if($_POST['pass1'] == $_POST['pass2'])
{
$passwords_match = 1;
}
?
Of course if you looked in the manual for comparison operators, or even did
a search for comparison, you would have found this quite easy.
If I haven't guessed your question correctly, please provide more
information.
maybe something like levenshtein() is what you want. Of course, reading
through the string based functions in the manual would also help :)

I just checked with an old PHP manual (probably 4.1.X) and
register_globals can only be set in PHP_INI_PERDIR PHP_INI_SYSTEM, ie
cannot be set at run-time. So either they changed the behaviour in 4.2.X,
or the latest manual is wrong.
Also ini_get('registar_globals') will not return the current
state.
No, but ini_get('register_globals') will :)
I have no idea why, it looks like one of those undocumented
safety features... Tom
However, in the one instance where I used it, it returned 'Off'. My guess
is that it returns whatever was defined in php.ini. Thus if in php.ini you
had defined register_globals = 1, then ini_get('register_globals') returns
1.
It would be much better and less confusing if ini_get() returns values in
a consistent notation, eg for booleans it should either return (0/1) OR
(false/true).
Another gotcha that I've come across is when setting register_globals (may
or may not apply to other settings) in the apache conf file.
This does NOT work:
php_value register_globals On
Whereas this does work:
php_value register_globals 1

This would be based on performance (speed, scalability, etc.) and features. I've been using MySQL/PHP for quite some time. Several months ago, I wanted to port a project over to PostgreSQL. I found everything about pg (eg the website, documentation, installation process) far less straight ahead than MySQL. So much so, that I didn't get around to actually installing pg. Plus, as others have pointed out, the supporting functions in PHP aren't as powerful/diverse. For example, there's no insert id function. --Dan -- PHP classes that make web design easier SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution sqlsolution.info | layoutsolution.info | formsolution.info T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Av #4AJ, Brooklyn NY v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] ini_set() broken?
Hi
Even with the correct spelling it returns null (php-4.2.1)
$x = ini_get('register_globals');
echo current settings = .$x.br;

Hi
If you check with phpinfo() you will see that it is getting set to 1 or
0 but by the time your script is run it is too late for it to have any
effect.
I just checked with an old PHP manual (probably 4.1.X) and
register_globals can only be set in PHP_INI_PERDIR PHP_INI_SYSTEM, ie
cannot be set at run-time. So either they changed the behaviour in 4.2.X,
or the latest manual is wrong.
Also ini_get('registar_globals') will not return the current
state.
No, but ini_get('register_globals') will :)
I have no idea why, it looks like one of those undocumented
safety features... Tom
However, in the one instance where I used it, it returned 'Off'. My guess
is that it returns whatever was defined in php.ini. Thus if in php.ini you
had defined register_globals = 1, then ini_get('register_globals') returns
1.
It would be much better and less confusing if ini_get() returns values in
a consistent notation, eg for booleans it should either return (0/1) OR
(false/true).
Another gotcha that I've come across is when setting register_globals (may
or may not apply to other settings) in the apache conf file.
This does NOT work:
php_value register_globals On
Whereas this does work:
php_value register_globals 1

[PHP] Referencing function return value
I have a general question about referencing... Would it be safe to reference a function return value? My main concern is that once the function goes out of scope, is that variable cleaned up or would it stay around because there is a new reference to it. I am coming from the C++ and Java world. I know how it works there! However, I am unsure about PHP. Instead of trying out a test script. I wish to know more about language design. So, I would be assured of its support for future versions of the language. Thank you very much. - Do You Yahoo!? New! SBC Yahoo! Dial - 1st Month Free unlimited access

Sure, unless the function returned a reference itself, in which case you have to continue keeping track of the validity of that reference (i.e., if its object gets unset(), I'm pretty sure it becomes invalid). If a function returns a scalar or array, it's recreated in the caller's context and will remain there until you explicitly get rid of it. It's not like C where strings are pointers whose contents can disappear out from under you at any moment. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
