[PHP] sending/notifying a server process
Hi All, I have a server process that sends fax,print, etc (both in C# and in Java). Currently it polls says the fax table in the database for any fax jobs. How can I get my PHP script to call or notify these services directly so not having to wait for the next poll. I can't open a socket to the server vai the PHP so what mechanism do I use? Any hints will be grateful -- Tony Yau -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] php session in ie
Hi, i am having problem with internet explorer. i am working on a
project on building a website where i need to keep track of the users
i.e. i use a login system in there in short. with the following code i
check whether the user is logged in or not.
?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['myurl']=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if(!isset($_SESSION['student_username'])
!isset($_SESSION['student_password']))
header(Location: login.php);
?
if the user is not logged in, it redirects to the login page login.php
as is shown in the above code. now the user is allowed to log in
through the following code:
?php
session_cache_limiter('private_no_expire');
session_set_cookie_params(0,/,schools.zenrays.com);
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
include(../database.inc);
$login=trim($_POST['login']);
$pass=trim($_POST['pass']);
$Effectivelogin=strtoupper($login);
$auth=false;
$connection=mysql_connect($host,$user,$password);
mysql_select_db($database,$connection);
$query=SELECT password FROM students WHERE userID='$Effectivelogin';
$result=mysql_query($query);
if(mysql_num_rows($result)){
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
if($row[0]!=$pass)
echo (Wrong Username/Password!);
else
$auth=true;
}
}
if($auth){

Should source URLs like these ever appear in Microsoft Outlook, they are likely to get 'corrected', for example a URL that goes in as: http://example.com//example.video When you click it, you're quite likely to have it go to: http://example.com/example.video thus completely missing all your mod_rewrite patterns. This is why we love MS so. I've taken up using _ as a pattern separator as a workaround. There's also a very nasty bug in current mod_rewrite (at least in Apache 2.0.54) where mod_rewrite url decodes submatches between input and output URLs, so for example: RewriteRule ^(.*) blah.php?x$1 if you feed that a URL that contains a URL encoded value like 'Hello% 20there', your resulting URL will be: 'blah.php?x=Hello there', which is obviously broken.

Re: [PHP] PHP 5 OO performance exceptions
Some more thought.
To solve this problem would be necessary to create some utility class like

based on type, i guess this can be accomplished using overloading.
Am I making any sense?

Because this has obvious limitations, and is only a fix for strings;
this doesnt work for functions that expect integer values.

You may find many possible solutions on the web-page I suggested. For example: Logic puzzles http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-turingtest-20031105/#logic. As I said previously, It depends on the target of your website. For instance, if your website is for web designers, you may only need to use visual turing numbers: They must have a user agent which is able to process images and I cannot imagine a blind web designer. On the other hand, if your website is for programmers, you may want to know that programmers can be blind (although you won't take this into account): http://www.blindprogramming.com I saw some research where out of four people with normal hearing, all four were unable to distinguish the crappy audio output into the correct word and use a site. Granted, a very small sample, and the audio from the test site may well have been at the low end of the spectrum for quality. But it was a real site, and these were just regular people roped in for a test of the audio's usefulness. As cool as CAPTCHA seems at first, I don't think it's going to be a long-term solution.

Re: [PHP] PHP 5 OO performance exceptions
read the internals@ archive - there is a chap there who is developing an php
module
that makes objects wrappers for basic types available.
but imho:
$str = new String(W T F !!);
echo $str-getValue(), $str, $str-__toString();
is just a bit OTT. also creating and rolling out (to a group of
developers) a set of classes to use in place of basic types on the basis
of a _belief_ that it may eliminate some development errors seems to be
not an unsound basis for such as decision.
chances are that half the time developers will 'forget' the
'basetype' classes, your dealing with egos you know :-).
but then again maybe in a couple of years we will only have objects to
represent types - although so long as at least Rasmus is 'on the bridge'
of starship NCC-17-PHP I imagine that won't be happening - IFAIR the creator is
a fan
of straigtforward procedural code in most cases - apologies to Rasmus if I
misread him.

Possibly limit 'login' to alphanumeric and 'pass' to non-control

then the user is redirected back to the page he visited. it workd fine
You also won't need to re-direct the user back to what they wanted --
The URL will already be what they asked for when the login works.
Change the ACTION= to ACTION=?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?

Re: [PHP] a code question..??
would the approach be to use an iframe, and some sort of ajax code, to allow the user to interact with the dialog/code within the iframe. keep in mind, that the code within the iframe would be running on the remote server... Sorry, I had forgotten the content of the original question. If what you want is a login dialog, then it would probably be easiest to make your own login form, then use CURL (or HttpClient (http://scripts.incutio.com/httpclient/index.php), which doesn't require anything external) like the other posters suggested when the form is submitted, to pretend to be a person filling out app B's login dialog. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Array_merge, safety and race condition?

However, suppose if $array1 is extremely huge, am I introducing a bug here because of possible race condition? It's possible that array_merge has two write something to $array1 (left hand side) before it even finishes reading it (argument) in the first place. Let alone merging the two. The assignment operator (=) computes the right-hand side completely before putting its value in the left-hand side. Your large arrays might get dumped to swap on the hard drive and burn pits into the platters, and they might thrash the CPU until it catches on fire, but there's no race condition in this statement. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Unable to send variables to MySQL table
It is a good idea to check for errors, like this:
mysql_query($add_to_db) or die('Error inserting SQL data at ' . __LINE__ . '
br/' . $add_to_db .'br/' . mysql_error());
If there is no error (non-null return value from mysql_query()) the
expresion after the OR does even get looked at, since (TRUE or whatever) is
TRUE so it doesn't even bother to check 'whatever'. If the first evaluates
as FALSE (in this case null) then it needs to evaluate the part after the
OR, which is irrelevant in this case since it will die.

Hi folks... a bit of a newbie question I'm afraid...
I've written this script shown below. It gets its variables from a form, and
then it (supposedly!) writes these values into a MySQL table ('invoices').
The script executes with no errors, but when I check the table, the table is
still empty. I can manually insert the data directly into the table, and
when I echo the variables in the script, the values are displayed whe I run
it, but for reasons unknown, the values are not written to the table.
Any ideas? The code is below.
Many thanks.

I personally would do this part all in one shot:
$field = (isset($_CLEAN['field']) strlen($_CLEAN['field'])) ?
'$_CLEAN[field] : 'NULL';
Otherwise, I find myself too distracted by all the assignments and
if/else logic, and too likely to mess them up later with code changes
in earlier/later lines.
Note that you already have the apostrophes in $field for non-NULL, so
you would just do:
$query = insert into foo (field) values($_CLEAN[field]);
with no apostrophes
$_CLEAN represents an escaped and filtered string, or an unset index,
if nothing was in $_POST to start with. Or you can just use the empty
string '' in $_CLEAN if you find that easier to process.

Ideally it would have an offset character position to start the indent (default of 0 or left margin), and a parameter for how many spaces to use for each indentation (default of say 4 or 5 (same as a tab)).

Blank lines. Just to see if the problem is fgets(), try this:
// Left off the b because it ain't binary :)
$theFile = file_get_contents( docs/InstallationInstructionMaster.txt,

That works, as does the following;

foreach ($lines as $line){
echo $line . br /\n;
}
So, I am perplexed. fgets() seems to have a problem of some sort. Any clues?
Not that what I want to do requires fgets(), just curious now as I will use
one of the other two methods.

Re: [PHP] arrays question
Here's a few loops that should work. You can actually just use the
first loop to concatenate text string instead create array items, but
I wasn't sure what type of processing you wanted to do with the result.
//Convert Array from 3 rows by 2 cols - 2 rows by 3 cols
for($i=0; $icount($mainArray); $i++ ) {
for ( $x=0; $xcount($mainArray[$i]); $x++ ) {
$resultArray[$x][]= $mainArray[$i][$x];
}
}
Resulting Array
Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[0] = 1
[1] = 492
[2] = 11
)
[1] = Array

[1] = 211
[2] = 20
)
)
//Convert array items to text string with , separator

$resultArray[$i]= ''.implode(',',$resultArray[$i]).'';

[PHP] Filtering and Escaping (Was: Select and $_POST)
Richard Lynch wrote:
Suppose PHP had a superglobal $_CLEAN which was an empty array.
This seems like a decent idea, for two reasons:
1. Developers don't have to remember to initialize their array, which
offers some protection. PHP can do this for them.
2. Variable scope issues are not a concern. Currently, using this
technique within functions and classes is clumsy at best.
However, most security issues like XSS and SQL injection aren't really
input filtering problems. Often, input filtering can effectively
eliminate these vulnerabilities (and there's no excuse to not be
filtering input), but escaping addresses the root cause of the problem.
For example:
?php
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 ');
echo htmlentities($_GET['foo'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
?
Although this example demonstrates a lack of input filtering, it does
not demonstrate a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.
The problem is that input is a lot easier to manage, because data is
clearly identifiable as such. Output is a completely different story,
because what's considered data and what isn't depends upon the context,
and only the developer really knows:
?php
$first_name = 'Chris';
$last_name = 'Shiflett';
$city = 'New York';
$state = 'NY';
$name = b$first_name $last_name/b;
$location = i$city, $state/i;
echo pMy name is $name, and I live in $location./p;
?
If you think of this example from the perspective of echo, it's
difficult to tell what part of the string is meant to be only data. In
this case, the data is Chris, Shiflett, New York, and NY. The HTML tags
are meant to be interpreted. As the developer, that's easy for me to
know, but it's hard to make this easier to keep up with. At best, any
solution requires developers to declare their intent somehow.
In the past, I've recommended simple naming conventions like Ben
demonstrated earlier. These work well, but it takes a good bit of
discipline. Now I'm trying to think of something better. I've also been
looking around at other languages and frameworks, and I haven't found an
elegant solution (meaning, they all require clumsy syntax or just as
much discipline).
What does Chris Shiflett use to validate an email? Enquiring
minds want to know! :-)
I'm afraid I'll only disappoint you. :-)
I'm pretty lenient with email addresses and use the pattern from the PHP
Cookbook (David Sklar and Adam Trachtenberg). I usually modify it to not
allow angled brackets, since I don't know any email address that has
those (but, they're probably OK as far as the spec goes).
I rely on escaping to protect against things like XSS and SQL injection,
so the filtering just gives me reasonable assurance that the email
address looks right and has a good chance of being a real email address.
I always send something (password, token, etc.) to an email address if I
care to make sure it works.

Re: [PHP] php session in ie

Passwords should always be used to verify and discarded. never saved in any

And true $_SESSION isn't a cookie.. however there are some systems that a
cookie is used like a session. in both cases I'd personally feel uneasy

where the end user can sign up to receive my email newsletter, They
subscribe and are entered into a MySQL database that I have set up.
Everything works fine as far as being entered into the dataase The
problem occurs when I send a test email to the database list. (I am
sending one to myself). The email never gets sent!
the code to send out the email from the MySQL database list is as follows:
?php
// this script is used to as the action for the form on sendmailform.php
// it sends the email to all persons who have subscribed to the
mailinglist and confirmed their subscription
//include the config file
include(config.php);

$message = $_REQUEST['message'];
//Variables for the headers
// customize this stuff
$sender = Bruce Gilbert [EMAIL PROTECTED]\n; //put your name and
sending address here
$reply_to = [EMAIL PROTECTED]\n; //reply-to, insert your address
here, might not be supported by your server
$return_path = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; // return-path, if you have
one, also might not be supported by your server
$x_sender = [EMAIL PROTECTED]\n; //your address, another setting
possibly not supported by your server

have confirmed their subscription. If you no longer wish to receive
these emails, please go to http://$list_owner_domain_name \n
