[PHP] Re: password protection/encryption
Chris Mach wrote: Greetings, I'm working on a project that involves a password protected area of a website. Some one also involved brought up the point that this area should be secure (Whit the lock icon indicating it is encrypted). In this particular project the password protected area will be a quote generating system for a company. Users would log in and choose the products they are interested in purchasing and the site would generate a quote depending on what they selected from the list of products. So my question is.. At what point is encryption necessary? I've always thought encryption was only needed when dealing with stuff like credit card information, am I wrong? if you are sending passwords over the internet, then they can be sniffed in transit, it depends on how paranoid / how important the information is. Unless you encrypt them before sending (client side), but this is quite complicated You probably should just use https to do the encryption, it works the same as normal, the HTTP layer deals with all the encryption for you How secure is a password protected page done with just PHP? over http, with no encryption - not very secure over https - as secure as anything is on the internet Thanks Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Purpleonyx schrieb: Greetings all, I ran into a problem today and was hoping someone could provide an answer. I am fetching a web page, and attempting to parse certain variables from it. I've done this plenty of times in the past with no problem. The only difference this time is the file that I am parsing is much larger. The HTML file is about 42kb in size (usually I only parse ~4kb worth). In the web browser, the script seems to just shut down, but reports no errors, not even to the web server logs. Is there some specific max size that it can accept or a setting in php.ini I need to modify? Thanks hi, i don't think, that 42k is too much for the size of your file. mut maybe php simply times out while parsing? there is a php.ini-parameter max_execution_time and a runtime-function set_time_limit(). try set_time_limit(0) at top of your script fo debugging. also take a look at preg_* functions instead of ereg_*. they are said to be much faster. hth SVEN -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Sure. This is no different from writing any other file.
If you want it to write a file instead of outputting the content, a
convenient way (my opinion) of doing this is to use ob_start() at the top
of your script, and then do something like this at the very end:
$html = ob_get_contents();
$fp = fopen('./foo.html', 'w');
fwrite($fp, $html);
fclose($fp);
Hope that helps.

Your regex is matching EVERYTHING before and after the div. It's also
matching the maximum of content between the div tags. Here's a better one:
/(div.*?\/div/i
1) You don't need to escape the and .
2) The ? after .* makes it match a minimum of content between the div tags.
3) the /i matches case insensitive, meaning that DIV will be matched as well
Note that this won't work quite right on nested div tags.

The short answer is yes, PHP is used in many production environments and is very stable and featureful. There is a large developer community which creates lots of extensions. One of the largest and best written sets is PEAR (http://pear.php.net). As for mysql, it also is used in many production environments. If you feel that normal mysql doesn't have enough enterprise features, you could use the InnoDB table type, which supports foreign keys and such. If that still doesn't satisfy you, you can use PostgreSQL, which is another open-source database system, but has more enterprise like features. If even that isn't enough, you can always use Oracle or another database system that you have to pay for. The long answer is: get ready for a holy war. -- paperCrane Justin Patrin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] restrict access to multiple pages
Hey y'all.
Ok so I am working on the admin sectin of the e-commerce app I'm writing
and I'm hoping there's a better way to do what I am currently doing.
In an effort to prevent circumvention of the login page I've placed a
check at the beginning of each page that basically does the following:
?php
if(loggedin())
{
// entire page of code goes here
}
else
{
// redirect back to login page
}
?
By doing this people will not be able to just enter manually any URL
they want and have the page load.
As far as better ways go I was thinking that maybe I could employ
.htaccess somehow? But then I think that might require having user
accounts registered with the server instead of just using a db and I
don't want to do that.
I was thinking that maybe I could change it to this:
?php
// define function stored in class file
// (basic auth function, not at all what i'm using.
// just an example.)
function IsLoggedIn($input)
{
if(isset($input) !empty($input))
{
return 1;
}
else
{
// redirect to login page
}
}
IsLoggedIn($input);
// entire page of code goes here
?
Any want to share their experiences and ideas?
Thanks,
Chris.

I tend to include the same file which does this for me at the beginning
of pages which must have authentication. Using a function as you
described (with automatic redirection to the login page) is how I would
do it.
You may also want to look into a the PEAR Auth package.

This is fine, assuming loggedin() does what you intend and can't be
subverted. The only risk is forgetting to add this check, since I assume
you mean that you have to copy/paste this into every script. You might
want to consider whether you can design your application in such a way
that you can have a more centralized way to enforce authorization.
The one thing I would definitely consider doing differently is the
redirect. You could, instead, just include the logic necessary for the
login page, so that you avoid the superfluous transaction.
As far as better ways go I was thinking that maybe I could employ
.htaccess somehow?
Yes, and you can use a database like you're wanting. There is existing
code to help you do this. However, this implements HTTP authentication,
which has the little popup window. This is fine, but some people might
perceive this as being unprofessional, so you might want to keep your
audience in mind.
Hope that helps.

Because I know that I can get help with it from the PEAR developers and get fixes and updates easily and quickly. Who told you that you do not get help from developers that contribute to the PHP Classes site? The way I see it depends. Some developers provide better support then others . It depends on if and when they are available when you ask. That applies to any developers regardless of the where they contribute their classes. In this case, I developed the HTTP client class and I can tell you that I try to provide prompt support whenever I am not so busy (which is not all the time, but frequently). I even tell you more, recently I even had to develop a patch to fix a bug in PHP itself that affected all code that deals with socket connections. Personally, I am not looking for medals of recognition or whatever, but one thing that you can't say is that only developers that contribute to PEAR always provide prompt support. Not only that is not always true, but you are probably insulting all other PHP authors that contribute to PHP Classes or other repositories that are very commited to providing great support despite they all work for free and benefit of many thousands of PHP users. class.

It's better to write your error handling code once instead of re-creating it for every package you ever write. I am sorry but I disagree that PEAR error handling is any good because it replicates the error handling functions that PHP already provides. Furthermore, I prefer that functions that are susceptible to fail return a boolean condition that is simple to verify and an additional error variable that explains the error to humans. I do not need to inherit bloated 800 line base class to do that. Not all PEAR packages inherit from PEAR. Some just use pieces of it. Some don't use it at all. It all depends on what the package needs. You are just validating my point. Those classes that do not use the PEAR base class are meant for speed and simplification.

Therefore, when you make up invalid addresses, all the bounces will go to the innocent companies mail servers. The more invalid addresses you make up the more harm you cause to innocent companies.

* Thus wrote Ryotaro Ishikawa MD ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hi, I am a MD, involved in a very large medical project that requieres a strong database plataform, the project must be .NET , the estimated transactional movement is about 40 on line users accesing a DB with a 200 relational tables. The policy is to program this SW in three layer design, our first oprion is ASP.NET and SQL Server 2000, because is worldwide spread. I had investigated PHP and MySQL, and I wonder if you can give me a imparcial advise if I must continue with ASP.NET or if PHP is a reasonable alternative. Thanks. It is a bit hard to determine from the details you gave for a justification for either.

Then there's using goto into and out of class functions, which is even worse. As I said that all depends on how it is used. Anyone can write unreadable code regardless of whether the language supports the goto statement. Also since PHP is strongly based on C, you'll notice that the C language does not allow cross function jumping via goto. Goto must jump to a label defined in the same function, so your second argument in this case is invalid. As someone who has implemented my own language, I can tell you I had absolutely no grief implementing a goto label system. In truth, goto has no place in a higher level programming language. This is your opinion, please feel free to qualify it. Anything that can be done with goto can be done without it and (IMHO) more elegantly. Yes anything that can be done with goto can be done without, but the whether it is more elegant strongly depends on what your goal is and how that goal can be achieved. Here's something you should do to properly open your eyes to the utility of the goto label statement. cd /YOUR_PHP_INSTALLATION_SOURCE/ grep -rE 'goto [_[:alnum:]]+;' * In my installation alone there are 1522 instances of goto used. And really I don't consider PHP that much higher level a language than C, although it does provide plenty of high level functions.

//set error variable
$err .= check_tutor_name();
$err .= check_tutor_contact();
$err .= check_tutor_email();
$err .= check_tutor_profile();
//define connection string
$dsn = mysql://root:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/table1;
//connect to DB
$db = DB::connect ($dsn);
//check for any DB connection errors
if (DB::isError ($db))
die ($db-getMessage());
$tutor_name = $db-quote($POST[tutor_name]);
$tutor_contact = $db-quote($POST[tutor_contact]);
$tutor_email = $db-quote($POST[tutor_email]);
$tutor_profile = $db-quote($POST[tutor_profile]);
$sql = INSERT INTO tutor (tutor_name, tutor_contact,tutor_email,tutor_profile)
VALUES
('$tutor_name', '$tutor_contact', '$tutor_email', '$tutor_profile');
//execute query statement
$result = $db-query($sql);//check for DB query error
if( DB::isError($result) ) {
die ($result-getMessage());?php if( $_POST[submit] != Save )
{
?
