Ok so on this topic, I do something similar to this with my scripts, and if
my includes are vulnerable... I need to know how?
I have tested this and the includes parse the information as it includes it,
I can't see the code, so how is this possible where you say:
{
If someone were to stumble upon your list.php script they would be able to

}
I have tested this pulling it from the server without parsing the file, I
only saw the html source with the include directory in it. Even if someone
was to get ahold of that the only variable is a get variable correct,
what's the difference from them having this information there or typing it
into a Web browser? And if they did try anything with that variable, I have
the script checking for valid input. Am I not safe in doing this?
Maybe I'm being nieve here, but I thought I had covered most of my bases
with this. Please explain where the security hole is! Anyone?I'm still
learning and need to know the ins and outs of security for what I am
scripting.
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm truely concerned nowI'd like to
know if I have to find alternative solutions to my include issues.

[PHP] Application-level variables
Greetings Everyone, I am still new to PHP but am progressing nicely. I has helped a lot that I have had vast experience with ColdFusion (sorry) but have seen the light and am now doing rather nicely in PHP. My question is as follows... I have certain functions, variables etc that I would like to be active in an application-wide state. CF has an application.cfm file that is read in (if it exists in the directory) which is used for this purpose. Is there a similar creature in PHP? If not, how is it best to define application-level stuff? Many Thanks In Advance, Lloyd. :-) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Application-level variables
You can auto-prepend a file to all PHP scripts as they are called, in
which you could store some application-wide variables like database
usernames and passwords, config irectives, etc, BUT it's important to
note that this file is loaded into PHP on every call basically as an
include, and each instance of the script being called is separate to
the others, and the PHP application remains stateless.
Since you used the word DEFINE in your post, my guess is this would be
sufficient. However, if you need something with state, or something
more dynamic, then this may not be enough.
FWIW, auto-prepended files can also include logic, database queries,
include other files, or anything else that you can do with an include
file... so it's not just a list of variables -- it's a PHP script.
You can set the php.ini directive auto_prepend_file to the full path of
the file at a server level (eg a dedicated server), or at a directory
level using a .htaccess file, with something like:
---
IfModule mod_php4.c
php_value auto_prepend_file '/path/to/file.php'
/IfModule
---
Or you can do it the old-fashioned-way at script level with
? include('path/to/file.php'); ?
If you want your scripts to be as portable as possible, the last option
is fail-safe. Option requires you to basically be the sys admin of
your server, and option 2 requires your sysadmin to allow .htaccess
files with tweaking of PHP (quite common, but not always).

Re: [PHP] Application-level variables
I haven't worked with ColdFusion much so I'm not quite sure what application-level variables are. However, I did do some quick research and I believe they are basically variables that are available to all scripts running on the server (correct me if I'm wrong). Assuming the above definition of application variables, I would say that I don't know of any PHP mechanism that allows such functionality. However, I did find an article that talks about alternatives.

The security hole is probably not existant in my opinion. PHP is (normaly) parsed by the remote server(no source viewable) and the result is being included, not the source. When http://.../script.php?var=value; was mentioned, it implies the script is being parsed remotedly so that the http request variables are being used within the script.

[PHP] Question About Date Function in PHP/MySQL
I'm using PHP to display a MySQL table. I've got everything working fine
except the date function.
I designated the first two fields VARCHAR. Those columns display just
fine when I preview my web page, as do all the other columns except the
third. I designated that one DATE. (The field name is Birthday.)
When I view my data in phpMyAdmin, all I see in that column is NULL.
When I preview it in a webpage, nothing displays at all. If I change it
to NOT NULL, I see -00-00 in every cell.
Here's a row of text from the CSV file I imported into my MySQL table:
Alberta,Edmonton,1905-09-01,11,NWT,AB,CAN
As you can see, the date is listed as 1905-09-01.
I've altered my MySQL table every way I can think of, and nothing works.
The MySQL Manual doesn't shed any light on it. So I'm wondering if
there's something wrong with my PHP code.
Below's the source code from my web page. Do you see anything that would
cause the third column - echo $myrow[Birthday]; - to malfunction,
while everything else works fine?
Thanks.
?php
$db = mysql_connect(localhost, USERNAME, PASSWORD);
mysql_select_db(test,$db);
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM states,$db);
echo table;
echotrtdbName/btdbCapital/btdbBirthday/btdbRank/bbOrigin/bbCode/btdbNation/b/tr;
while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo trtd;
echo $myrow[Name];
echo /tdtd;
echo $myrow[Capital];
echo /tdtd;
echo $myrow[Birthday];

Re: [PHP] Use a Server or Client Socket?
Hi, If you only need to make a connection to the server every ten minutes you will be saving a lot of resources if you use a cron job to connect at intervals instead of keeping a permanently open connections. Creating a cron job is quite simple, if you type man 5 crontab you will be able to read more about it (at least in linux - a poor substitute exists in windows called scheduled tasks) With this approach you just need to call fsockopen to do connect to your server and do the needful.

Is there a possibility to convert a string like 10*500 (parsed from a
XML-File) to a float? When i try to store this String in a float
variable it only coverts the 10 but nothing after the *-sign, but i
need the result of this expresison... Is there a function to calculate
such string expressions?
Another possibility is to pipe the expression to bc, which could do the
input check for you, and probably covers a lot of syntactic ground.
Slightly less resource-efficient, but you don't have to reinvent the
wheel (untested, unix only):
$result = shell_exec(echo '${expr}' | bc);

Both eval and piping to bc via the shell work but open up big security

It sounds like you may want to set the page to not be cached. Here's
what I use to prevent pages from being cached:
function noCacheHeaders() {
header('Expires: Tue, 1 Jan 1980 12:00:00 GMT');
header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT');
header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate,

header('Pragma: no-cache');
}
This should prevent proxies, browsers, etc from caching your pages.

Hi Raditha,
Thanks, I have a better idea of how to write the codes. But I wonder, to
check that the connection to the external server is on, where should I
place the code? I need to do this every 10 minutes. If the connection is
dropped, I have to reconnect. Where should I place this check? If I
place it in the while(true) loop, I will be checking every few
miliseconds rite? That will be too frequent. What about in another
script? Will I be able to check that the connection is on?
Regards,
Ai Leen

Just be careful with that. Remember that the files can be requested on their own, also. If you have database.inc that you include to connect ot your database and someone requests it by itself, they'll see your PHP code as plain text. Either store your includes outside of the web root, deny access to them, or give them a .php extension. Even if you give it a .php extension to hide the code, remember the file can be requested on it's own and run out of context, still. -- ---John Holmes...

Is there a possibility to convert a string like 10*500 (parsed from a

When i try to store this String in a float variable it only coverts the 10

Is there a function to calculate such string expressions?
Thanx...
Using eval() can be dangerous
If the source of the xml data is not trustworthy, validate the string
with regex before eval()'ing it
/^[^a-zA-Z]*$/ should be enough...
That would refuse letters (simple (and maybe dumb) way to prevent
function execution (but wouldnt prevent expression errors! just prevent
people from breaking in through your eval!))
Note: you would also need to put 'return ' before and ';' after the
string expression to eval
ex:
?
$expression = '10*500';
$expressionOK = preg_match ('/^[^A-Za-z]*$/', $expression);
$result = ($expressionOK) ? eval('return '. $expression .';') : NULL;
var_dump($result);
?
Another more complex/slower, but maybe safer/elegant way, would be to
parse the expression, piece by piece into a stack, and do the operations
yourself

[PHP] check for inactive sessions
Ok, I've developed a system that allows N number of users to log-in to my site under the same username/password combo. When a user logs-in, a flag is set marking that they have logged-in, their session id is stored and the current # of user's logged-in is iterated by one. If a user account has a maximum of 5 possible simultaneous user log-ins, the user stack will be full unless those users logout (which will reduce the stack by one), or their session expires. The problem being that I do not know how to check if a session is active, other than checking the current user session of course (not all session's currently associated with an account).

Hi php-general, I have continusously following error compiling php5 with gd-support: ext/gd/gd.lo: In function `zm_deactivate_gd': /usr/local/src/php-5.0.0b3/ext/gd/gd.c:445: undefined reference to `gdFreeFontCache' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [sapi/cli/php] Fehler 1 Here is my config.nice: './configure' \ '--disable-libxml' \ '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' \ '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc' \ '--enable-magic-quotes' \ '--with-bcmath' \ '--enable-exif' \ '--enable-shared=max' \ '--enable-rule=SHARED_CORE' \ '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' \ '--with-gd=/usr/local/include' \ '--enable-gd-native-ttf' \ '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib' \ '--with-png-dir=/usr/lib' \ '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/include' \ without gd, I can compile, and it works. What I am also wondering is how I can disable freetype? I tried --without-freetype or --disable-freetype but that doesn't help. I have no freetype installed. Other thing, is that I have set --with-gd=/usr/local/include, but I had to put symbolic links to /usr/local/lib where the libgd.so and libgd.a are (from install). There is no way to enter both directories... And at last, why is the error related to /usr/local/src/php-5.0.0b3/ext/gd/gd.c:445? I entered /usr/local/include for gd and not the ext/gd/ directory? I just newly installed gd, newest release. I have Mandrake Linux 8.2. I would really appreciate help ;-) SvT -- Who is the ennemy? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Use a Server or Client Socket?
Hi, I need to be polling the connection constantly for new messages as well as have a check that the connection is on. These need to be done in one connection. That's where the headache comes in. In order to poll constantly, I placed the socket read in a while loop. Since the script is looping constantly there, I can't place the checking in the while loop. And I can't make a need connection to check if I am still login because the external server only allows one connection. Raditha Dissanayake wrote: Hi, If you only need to make a connection to the server every ten minutes you will be saving a lot of resources if you use a cron job to connect at intervals instead of keeping a permanently open connections. Creating a cron job is quite simple, if you type man 5 crontab you will be able to read more about it (at least in linux - a poor substitute exists in windows called scheduled tasks) With this approach you just need to call fsockopen to do connect to your server and do the needful. Tan Ai Leen wrote: Hi Raditha, Thanks, I have a better idea of how to write the codes. But I wonder, to check that the connection to the external server is on, where should I place the code? I need to do this every 10 minutes. If the connection is dropped, I have to reconnect. Where should I place this check? If I place it in the while(true) loop, I will be checking every few miliseconds rite? That will be too frequent. What about in another script? Will I be able to check that the connection is on? Regards, Ai Leen Raditha Dissanayake wrote: Hi Tan, If you are connecting to another server you are using a client socket you do not need to make a server socket. If you need to listen for connections make use of a server socket. To give you an example your browser makes use of client sockets while apache makes use of server sockets. That is an over simplified view of things but hope it helps you understand things better. Generally working with client sockets is easier. best regards -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

OK, I'll add that to my experiments to do list. In the meantime, I imported all the dates as VARCHAR, then went into phpMyAdmin and changed it to DATE. It seems to work! Thanks again for the tips.
