Is this good enough encryption for daily use ?
FYI, I need to keep the first part of the file unencrypted so the file
will progressively load
Functions were taken from the mycrypt php page :)
$chunkSize = 32768;
$key = 6q9nKLg5
if( $fd = fopen($filepath, 'rb')){
while(!feof($fd)) {
if($gotFastStartHeaders != true){
echo fread($fd, $chunkSize/30);
$gotFastStartHeaders = true;
}else{
echo encrypt(fread($fd, $chunkSize));
}
}
fclose ($fd);
exit;
}

// Encrypt
function encrypt($encrypt) {
global $key;
//$key = 6q9nEUg5;
srand((double) microtime() * 100); //for sake of MCRYPT_RAND
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv(mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256,
MCRYPT_MODE_ECB), MCRYPT_RAND);
$passcrypt = mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $encrypt,
MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, $iv);
$encode = base64_encode($passcrypt);
return $encode;
}

$decrypted = mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256, $key, $decoded,

How do you display raw binary data of a file sent from a server
with curl ?
You can probably just use file_get_contents() if allow_url_fopen is
enabled (it is by default).
For binary data, base64_encode and it's friend base64_decode allow you
to encode and decode binary data in a normal ASCII string.
http://php.net/file_get_contents
http://php.net/base64_encode
I want to encrypt the file with something akin to str_replace and
decode it on the other side with a custom data handler
Just want to make sure that I am str_replace'ing the actual data and
not a representation of it :)
str_replace is not for encryption. You might want to look at mcrypt,
as using str_replace is probably just as bad as sending the
unencrypted string. It's not going to be secure.

I'm not an expert on databases, and I haven't a notion of mailing you
off-list, with information that could potentially benifit others as
well, but from my understanding, deleting an index(a good index that
is) would slow the db down in certain cases. Deleting a bad index
would speed certain operations up.

RE: [PHP] serialize
I have an app that stores evaluation scores so I have 30+ values all
within a certain range, currently in the db, each of these values has
it's own column:
Table test
id
user_id
motivation
caring
personal_characteristics
creativity,
...etc.
If the client decides they want to trap more characteristics, it
requires changes to the table structure and the table quickly gets
large with 30+ columns. I was thinking of just compacting all of
these down to one column and then using serialize/unserialize and
storing an array of the test scoresis this the best way??
Hi,
This has less to do with PHP (though it will impact on your code) and more
to do with database design principles.
From what you describe, you have a denormalized table. Ie, every score value
has its own field for each thing being scored:
Id, score1, score2, score3, score4..., score30
, 23, 18, 12, 36, 38
1112, 45, 12, 62, 25, 73
A more normalized representation of that table would be:
Id, scoretype, score
, 'score1', 23
, 'score2', 18
, 'score3', 12
, 'score4', 36
, 'score30', 38
1112, 'score1', 45
1112, 'score2', 12
1112, 'score3', 62
1112, 'score4', 25
1112, 'score30', 73
Adding a new score type for each id is then as simple as inserting rows for
the ids with a new 'scoretype' value, meaning that no change of the actual
table structure is required.
To retrieve the scores for any given id in your PHP code, you'd do something
like:
$sql = SELECT scoretype, score FROM scores WHERE id=;
$rs = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($rs)){
$scores[$row-scoretype] = $row-score;
}
mysql_free_result($rs);
print_r($scores);
It might be helpful to you to Google on the topic of database normalization.
Here's a link from the MySQL site that gives a brief introduction to the
topic.
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/intro-to-normalization.html
Hope this helps.
Much warmth,
Murray

[PHP] Passing non GET/POST request methods to php script do not work on RH based linux
I've a simple php script (see below) that write to a file the REQUEST
METHOD that was used while calling this script.
means that when I use a browser to access this script, it write to the
file GET.
The problem starts while I try for example to send an OPTIONS request to
this script (using a simple perl script that I wrote and is attached)
while trying on RH based linuxes the request get to the apache logs but
not to the php script (means my script do not write anything to its file
but while trying on Debian based linuxes - the script *do* get all
requests...
I tried to compare the apache conf files and php.ini files w/o success...
any idea how to set php (or apache) to pass these requests to my script ??
tnx,
--Y
the scripts:
req.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use HTTP::Headers;
use LWP::UserAgent;
my $request = new HTTP::Request(
'OPTIONS'=http://cc.jct.ac.il/method/; );
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
my $response = $ua-request($request) || return ERROR\t$!;
print $response-server;
---
method.php
?php
$filename = '/var/www/html/method/method.log';
$somecontent = $_SERVER[REQUEST_METHOD].\n;
// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
#if (is_writable($filename)) {
// In our example we're opening $filename in append mode.
// The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence
// that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it.
if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
echo Cannot open file ($filename);
exit;
}
// Write $somecontent to our opened file.
if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) {
echo Cannot write to file ($filename);
exit;
}
echo Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename);
fclose($handle);

[PHP] imap + secure connection problems
I tried to make the simple program
?php
$mbox = imap_open({imap.liu.se:993}, gurka222, nada);
echo h1Mailboxes/h1\n;
$folders = imap_listmailbox($mbox, {imap.liu.se:993}, *);
if ($folders == false) {
echo Call failedbr /\n;
} else {
foreach ($folders as $val) {
echo $val . br /\n;
}
}
echo h1Headers in INBOX/h1\n;
$headers = imap_headers($mbox);
if ($headers == false) {
echo Call failedbr /\n;
} else {
foreach ($headers as $val) {
echo $val . br /\n;
}
}
imap_close($mbox);
?
given at http://se2.php.net/manual/sv/function.imap-open.php. I'm running
PHP 4.3.10 and have enabled imap.
But I can't connect to the server (even though it works using, for instance
Outlook). When changing the imap_open line in the script to
$mbox = imap_open({imap.liu.se:993/imap/ssl}, gurka222, nada);
(I added the /imap/ssl part) I immediately got the following response:
Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {imap.liu.se:993/imap/ssl} in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\TestGetMail.php on line 2
Mailboxes

Notice: (null)(): Can't open mailbox {imap.liu.se:993/imap/ssl}: invalid

When not having the /imap/ssl part I only get
Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {imap.liu.se:993} in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\TestGetMail.php on line 2
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\TestGetMail.php on line 2
Notice: (null)(): [CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (server response)
(errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0
as a response after 30 seconds. Does this mean I have to include a
certifcate of some kind in some way? If I need, how to do it?
What could be wrong?

Re: [PHP] selfreferencing script with output
Thanks again,Gustav, I tried, but it won't work. The moment of the second headering there had been an output. So you get the error message just an iteration later. Now I reduced the time my script needs. I will check out if it has sufficient time on the productive machine. If so, it won't be necessary to do a selfreferencing script.

[PHP] new ways to add an html body?
Hi,
I am using php mailer and am trying to find a new way to make the html email
body instead of the old
$mail_body = trtd width=\314\div align=\center\img
src=\my_logo3.gif\ width=\100\ height=\139\/div/td/tr;
$mail_body .= BRBRBRBR;
$mail_body .= font size=\2\ face=\Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif\$mail_text /font;
$mail_body .= BRBRBRBRBR;
$mail_body .= tr
etc etc.
Could I link/ attach a style sheet? How would this work??
Can I make a whole html mage and just link it?? Or include ('mypage.htm')
Any good/innovative suggestions are welcome.

[PHP] New ocurrance of old problem. (FTP_PUT: 'STOR' not understood)
Hi all Having looked at the archives, they mention that the cause for this problem might be that the FTP_BINARY constant isn't transmitted to the the FTP module. I therefore adjusted my code to this: return ftp_put($this-ftphandle, $localfile, $remotefile,FTP_BINARY); Seeing as this fails also, I prepended this with a pasv command, and even went as far as doing this ftp_raw($this-ftphandle,'quote pasv'); //put ftp in passive mode ftp_raw($this-ftphandle,'quote type i'); //put ftp in binary mode return ftp_put($this-ftphandle, $localfile, $remotefile,FTP_BINARY); Alas, to no avail! The server keeps telling me STOR not understood, so I connected manually to the server, and quote stor 500 'STOR' not understood But I can upload files with PUT nonetheless. So is there a way to tell PHP to use the PUT command instead of the STORE command?

My Question I have a form which users need to fill out, (quite a lengthy one) it consists of 5 or so pages with various questions on each!, the last page submits the information and writes it to the MYSQL database. My problem is that when they have say completed the first three or so pages and they have to click on the browsers back button to check if they have filled in all the right info and then click on forward again to go to the original page from where they came, the information is lost and they basically have to start from scratch.

Hello Ross,

body instead of the old
Can I make a whole html mage and just link it?? Or include ('mypage.htm')
$mail_body = file_get_contents('path/to/your/html/email.html');
Will save embedding all that HTML into your PHP scripts. You could
then do simply variable replacement on $mail_body to customise the
messages if you so wish.

[PHP] cgi chmod problem
I've got a php script that checks certain file permissions and if not OK for
writing, chmods as required.
I can use ftp_site(); but, prefer not to because the code is not readily
transportable. Requires ftp login.
I'd like a simple cgi file that can be called by my script as needed.
My cgi file works OK if I call directly in my cgi-bin directory. e.g.,
$file= '/EditPage/test2.php';
$perms= 0746;
if(!file_exists($pfile)) echo div style=\color:red; font-weight:bold\$pfile does not
exist./div;
chmod($pfile, $perms);
echo New file permissions for $pfile: . substr(sprintf('%o',
fileperms($pfile)), -3);
But, I can't get the cgi file to execute when using include /path/perm.cgi.
in the php test function.
I guess it is because the cgi assumes it is running in the directory with the
php that called it.
Linux php3.9.11 virtual host
Anyone have a suggestion.

My guess would be that your webserver isn't running as the same user as
your shell account - for details on how to fix this, please have go at STFA,

[PHP] PDF Thumbnails
I give my users an option to upload pdf files to my site and would like them to see a thumbnail view of the file once uploaded. Has anyone heard of a way how to do this?
