$this-subposter is the array of CLASS2

}
$this-endret='ja';
$this-sett_sum();
}

If I print the data (after setting the new data) inside 'fyll_fra_post' 
it puts out the new data.
If I do the same from 'fyll_sub_konto' (after foreach) it gives me the 
old data.

RE: [PHP] Nested Set Model or modified preorder tree traversal

[Jared Williams]

Hi,
As your using MySQL5, I'd recommend putting all the Nested Set code in 
stored procedures, that way the client doesn't need
to know about anything about the method, and the left, right columns never need 
to be retrieved.



Jared
 
 I've been searching the web for the past few hours trying to 
 find a simple drop-in class or functions to implement Nested 
 Set Model or modified preorder tree traversal.
 
 I've found several tutorials and related links:
 
   http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/hierarchical-data.html
   http://www.sitepoint.com/article/hierarchical-data-database
  
 http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/tutorial-ferrara2.php?article=tut

   http://istherelifeafter.com/joecelko.html
   http://www.codeproject.com/cs/database/Trees_in_SQL_databases.asp
 
 I even found some outdated PEAR DB_NestedSet class from 2003 
 that seemed way to overly complicated. And some other 
 PHP4_Mysql3MPTTA class on PHP Classes that was equally 
 complicated and written for ancient PHP4 and mySQL 3!!
 
 Hasn't anyone else done this before (recently)? 
 Did everyone just write their own code every time?
 Anyone have some easy to use code that allows for:
 Add, delete, update/rename, select, show tree, bread crumb 
 display, etc.
 
 I use PHP 5.0.5 and mySQL 5.0.18, so ideally it would take 
 advantage of all the optimizations and bells  whistles of 
 those more modern versions.
 
 TIA.

RE: [PHP] Session problems [SOLVED]

[Dan Parry]

Hi all

I didn't get that many replies (thanks to those who did reply :) ) for this,
so now I've figured out the problem I thought I'd share the solution just in
case anyone else has the same issue:

solution
The problem stemmed from the way the return from UPDATE is handled and the
scripts reliance on the mysql_affected_rows() command

If the UPDATE command is executed on a record and no values are altered the
command exits with a value of 0 meaning that the result of
mysql_affected_rows() is false

This occurs on redirects and fast refreshes because the time value hasn't
changed so no values are altered in the row, mysql_affected_rows() is false
and the function continues as no condition is met to return a value... the
following INSERT then causes the problem

The solution was do execute a simple SELECT to get the number of rows for
the session ID and if mysql_affected_rows() evaluated to false but the
number of records is 1 return true
/solution

And there we have it... nearly drove me nuts but I got there in the end

Cheers

Dan

PHP 5.1 is the active development branch.  5.1.2 is the latest release
of that branch.

4.4 and 5.0 are old branches, they are not actively being developed.
Security and some bug fixes are applied to these branches, hence the
recent releases.


If you are developing new code, I'd recomend using 5.1.  Some servers
still use 4.4 and should probably be avoided.  There's fairly
substantial differences between 4  5 making upgrading an issue; I
suspect the devs will get tired of patching up version 4 soon, making
security an issue.

[PHP] Wormux

[yeKcim]

Hello.



Wormux is an opensource clone of Worms (Team17) :
http://www.wormux.org.

My name is CARRÉ Anthony (yeKcim) and i'm a Wormux
contributor, i draw some characters (skins) for this
game : http://www.wormux.org/wiki/en/skins.php.



My idea is to use opensource software mascots to draw
funny characters. I already drew : Tux team (Linux),
GNU team (GNU), Konqui team (KDE), Firefox team
(Firefox), Wilber team (Gimp), Nupik team (NuFW), PHP
Team (PHP), Snort Team (Snort). The next team i will
draw should certainly be the Thunderbird.



All skins are now integrated in Wormux but now the
Wormux team want to be sure that no licence problems
will appear ? 
Of course, i don't use original pictures.


I know that NuFW team is happy to see Nupik in Wormux
(http://www.nufw.org/+Nupik-NuFW-s-mascotte-in-wormux+.html).
I don't know what is your opinion for your mascott. If
your project team don't want to see your mascott in
Wormux, we will delete it.



If this message is not addressed to the good mail, if
you know who can inform me, thank you to contact me
and sorry for the disturbance.



I'm french, sorry for my english.

Thank you




yeKcim

PS @ Mr Nitot : Je sais que je vous ai déjà dérangé
avec cette question et je m'excuse de vous déranger à
nouveau mais l'équipe de Wormux me demande de
contacter les équipes de developpeurs avant chaque
nouvelle création. Je n'ai pas trouvé d'adresse ou de
liste de diffusion adaptée à cette question, si vous
savez ou je devrais écrire, merci. Pour info,
thunderbird pourrait ressembler à :

[PHP] Beta Testers Wanted

[Matt Palermo]

Hey guys.  I would like to first say thanks for all the help you have all 
given me in the past (especially in my early programming days).  Once again, 
I would like to show my appreciation by offering an opportunity to use a new 
PHP program I have created.  The program is called TotalXplorer.  Basically 
it's an online file manager for your website that uses PHP's FTP 
functionality to perform actions on files/folders (this get's rid of the 
need to make them writable for PHP).  The file manager also has a built-in 
file upload feature, file editor, mp3 music player (to play tracks directly 
from your site without downloading them first), and more.  You can view the 
demo of it here:

http://sweetphp.com/projects/TotalXplorer/

I'm looking for 5-10 people who would be willing to help test it out and 
give feedback about it.  In exchange for this, you will receive a free copy 
of the software when it's ready to go.  If you are interested, please let me 
know.  This will be first come, first server, but please be willing to put 
in a little time with the testing of it.  I have offered similar beta 
testing programs for some of the other scripts I have available at 
http://sweetphp.com and they have become very successful because of all your 
help.

Thanks,

Matt Palermo

I am writing a spam filter to run over multiple pop3 mail boxes which 
will work on keywords and Bayesian. With a very high score the filter 
will simply delete the email, with a med-high it will back the email in 
a 'bulk-mail' folder and delete it from the mailbox. with medium score I 
was wanting it to append the keyword [spam?] to the subject line and 
keep it in the pop3 mailbox. I can't work out how to do this in php. Can 
anyone help me on this one? Is it possible to alter a subject line (or 
body for that matter) of an email in a pop3 mailbox?

[PHP] Conceptional question on dealing with different languages

[janbro]

Hello list,
it has been a while since I've posted the last time, but now I need your
 help/ opinion again.  I'm re-designing an existing page for an online
shop which is supposed to be used in different languages. The former
design was just a plan echo for an output since the page was only
intended for the German market. But now the output depends  on the
language the user selected. Currently we think of two languages, but
that might change sooner or later (management decision...).

Of course I don't want to ad an case of $language for every former echo.
I want to export the content to one central file/ object / table...
The infrastructure is PHP5 MySQL.

Now my ideas, where I would need your opinion:
1. a XML File which I read via SimplXML
2. a plan Text file
3. a PHP class where I delviver the content out of arrays
4. or a table in MySQL

Do you have other options, that might be useful? Which would you prefer?

RE: [PHP] Re: array variables with or without quotes

[Jason Karns]

I believe it is because without the quotes, it is expecting a predefined
constant.  With the quotes, it is expecting an array key. This is why if you
use a word that is not defined as a constant, php will first look for it as
a constant, won't find it, then looks through the array treating it like a
key. If it is found as a constant, then the constant's value is used as the
key.

When I tried to run this, PHP treated the word  -include- as a control 
structure rather than an index name. Understandable. So, I put it in 
single quotes  ('include') to see what would happen and it works fine. 
But I don't understand why!

What is the difference between $content_row [include] and 
$content_row['include']? I have been unable to resolve this question in 
the php manual, I need enlightenment.

[PHP] (array)

[Jay Paulson]

Just came across some code I haven't seen before and can't find anything on
php.net or google about it (maybe I'm not searching for the right thing?).
What is the following doing?

// $dataobject is holding a bunch of variables like:
//  $dataobject-var1
//  $dataobject-var2
//  etc...

(array)$dataobject;

Is this making the $dataobject an associative array like:

$dataobject[var1]
$dataobject[var2]

Or is it doing something different?

Thanks!

Yes, I believe it's type-casting the object into an array.  Do a print_r 
( $dataobject ) on it before and after the casting.

I was curious about this myself, so I took a look at the Types section of 
the PHP manual, and an array is really a compound type.  With that in mind it 
makes sense that you could typecast to an array.

[PHP] How secure is this?

[tedd]

Hi gang:

A few days ago I posted my first attempt ajax. I posed the question 
Could a bot find my email address contained within the code?


There was some discussion, but I wasn't sure as to what the decision 
was, so I made another example, which can be found at:


http://www.xn--ovg.com/aja

How secure is this from bots?  Could a bot (or anyone) get to my 
email address via the code? Of course, you can read my email address 
by looking at the site, but I think I've hidden the code well enough 
from bots -- am I wrong?  And if so, how would a bot, or anyone for 
that matter, find it?


Thanks for looking and any suggestions you may have.

If it's already in the mailbox, then I highly doubt you can do this.

You need to do this on the way in before it gets to the account.

Consider the ramifications if you could:

Anyone could login to your mail account and change the emails already there.

[PHP] How can I stop PHP from resolving symlinks?

[Roy Souther]

I am trying to stop PHP from resolving symlinks. I have a PHP CMS that I use to host dozens of sites using Apache virtual hosting features. I need all the sites to run the exact same PHP CMS code but use their unique directories to host the different config files. The problem is that the PHP scripts are running from the directory that the links point to and not the directory where the site is. The big problem with that is the CMS tries to read a configuration file that is in a relative location to the PHP script like ../config.php. 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -l /usr/local/cms
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 20 Jan 16 02:17 index.php
drwxr-xr-x 9 user users 4096 Feb 22 16:40 admin
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -l /vhost/test01.com/var/www/html/
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 20 Jan 16 02:17 config.php
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Feb 22 14:05 index.php - /usr/local/cms/index.php
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Feb 22 14:05 admin - /usr/local/cms/admin
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cd /vhost/test01.com/var/www/html/admin/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pwd
/vhost/test01.com/var/www/html/admin
[EMAIL PROTECTED][admin]#

Bash is doing what I need. It sees the current directory as the full path of the symlink.

The admin.php at this point only has system(pwd); in it and it prints out /usr/local/cms/admin as the directory it is in, not what I want. It will never see the ../config.php file.

I tried doing this 
chdir ($_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]./.$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]);
but it still resolves the link and does not accept the path that I constructed.

How can I make PHP use the symlink and stop trying to resolve the original files?

[PHP] Case issue with eregi_replace in text highlight function

[Nicolas Verhaeghe]

Hi all!

I have a text highlight function which does not behave exactly as
needed. Behavior is logical but result is cumbersome.

Instead of replacing the portion of the text with the same portion of
text with some highlighting code added before and after, it replaces the
said text with the chunk of text looked for (highlight), which is an
issue when there is a difference in case.

It is used in a product search engine and it is important to keep the
case the same.

Here is the function:

function highlight_text($text, $highlight) {
return eregi_replace($highlight, span class=highlight . $highlight .
/span, $text);
}

In this case, if the  text to highglight is:

MacOS X Super Gizmo

And a client searches for the string macos, the result will be: 

span class=highlightmacos/span X Super Gizmo

Not very pritty.

How complicated would it be to prevent this from happening?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Can you try:

$mydir = dirname(__FILE__);
include($mydir . '/../config.php');

?

or

$mydir = dirname(__FILE__);
include(dirname($mydir) . '/config.php');

You're using the eregi_replace function - which does case insensitive 
replaces (read the man page).


Change it to use

Good point, I had it around the wrong way.


function highlight_text($text, $highlight) {
  return eregi_replace($highlight, span class=highlight . $highlight
. /span, $text);
}


So where does 'highlight' come from when you pass it in ?

[PHP] Issue with encrypted string created with Crypt_CBC and urls and mod_rewrite

[Dan Rossi]

hi there im having issue decoding an encoded string created with a pear  
package Crypt_CBC which i am encoding a uri into the string and sending  
to a rewrite url. The query string is not returning the encoded part of  
the url properly for some reason and not decoding properly.


I have already sent this to the pear list, but maybe someone here has  
experienced issues with encoded strings and mod_rewrite not relocating  
with a url encoded string ?


The encoded string without mod_rewrite rules is

RandomIVQ%83%80%E6%0F%E7%E4%7CdY%E7%BA%9B%14%5B%60%98%A1%1D%04%94L_%16%E

The rewrite rule is

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^feeds/(.*) refer.php?$1 [L]

Any ideas why its not urlencoding the urlencoded string in the rewrite  
url ?


I may have to use the request_uri instead of sending it as a query  
string if this is a flaw in mod_rewrite ?? I think however if i use the  
request_uri things could break a little.


Let me know.

Re: [PHP] Issue with encrypted string created with Crypt_CBC and urls and mod_rewrite

It also seems that any forward slash being encoded if it encodes,  
mod_rewrite doesnt like, therefore I have to split up the urls using  
parse_url, but it seems it still doesnt like the query part and some  
special characters like ampersands and equals ?

[PHP] Re: array variables with or without quotes

Chuck, you are the man! I decided to reread the manual word for word but 
have only gotten through Strings as of last night. Thanks for zeroing me in

$content_row = mysql_fetch_array($content_result);
if ($content_row[include])
{go do something;}

When I tried to run this, PHP treated the word  -include- as a control 
structure rather than an index name. Understandable. So, I put it in 
single quotes  ('include') to see what would happen and it works fine. But 
I don't understand why!

What is the difference between $content_row [include] and 
$content_row['include']? I have been unable to resolve this question in 
the php manual, I need enlightenment.

[PHP] Re: Reading binary http post

[Manuel Lemos]

Hello,

on 02/21/2006 03:40 PM Dirk Vanden Boer said the following:
 I have a C++ application that posts binary data to a php script that I 
 created using libcurl. Everything works fine except when my binary data 
 happens to start with the '' symbol. In that case I can't read the http 
 post data (isset returns false).
 
 The post argument then looks like data=ÑÚA
 Reading the post is done like this:
 if (isset($_POST['data'])
 Is there a way to fix this problem?

The problem is that you are misleading PHP telling that you are posting
form data. You need to correct the request Content-Type. It must not be
application/x-www-form-urlencoded nor multipart/form-data . I think you
can use anything except those types, like for instance
application/octet-stream which is the default for binary files.

I don't know how can you hack libcurl to make it use the right request
content-type. It is probably easy. If you are not able to do it, you may
want to try this PHP HTTP client class . It can send custom POST requests.

Re: [PHP] HN CAPTCHA at http://www.phpclasses.org

[Manuel Lemos]

Hello,

on 02/17/2006 05:10 PM tedd said the following:
 Manuel:
 
 Your points are well taken.
 
 A good CAPTCHA must be fuzzy. If you know other fuzzy CAPTCHA besides
 these, it may help to sharing that knowledge.
 
 The CAPTCHA I was primarily referring to was the image one -- however,
 it's just another barrier.
 
 I am sure there are all sorts of ways to fool a computer while making it
 easy for a human to comply, like Enter the third word of the first
 paragraph; or What is the color of an orange?; or presenting an easy
 question from a vast lists of questions provided at random.

That is not hard to beat because it does not make it difficult to
determine what is the question, like image and audio captchas. Therefore
that solution is vulnerable to dictionary attacks.


 While computers could be designed to answer such questions, the amount
 of time required would be better spent going after those sites that
 don't have any CAPTCHA.

It depends on the purpose of the attackers. If they want to attack
specific sites, soon or later they will figure a way to defeat them if
they have weak protection schemes.


 As for me, I'm trying to understand both sides and see if there is a
 midway solution. However, it appears that both sides are steadfastly
 rooted in their opinion. One side wants barriers and the other side
 doesn't -- mutually exclusive positions.
 
 I can't help but think there must be a software solution.

Maybe, but this is not a trivial solution. Research and development
costs time and money to those that need to invest on it to find better
protection . People that complain against CAPTCHAs should also consider
these aspects before blaming people for not using better CAPTCHA schemes.

 Try this:
 
 http://xn--ovg.com/no_bot
 
 The point of CAPTCHA is to provide something that a bot can't figure
 out, but a human can, right?
 
 Well, for a bot to figure out the answer, the bot must be able to get at
 the source code, right? Take a look at this source code and from it
 determine the answer. Also, try to view the content source code from
 any page on this site. I think this data is bot-proof, isn't it? Or have
 I blundered?

I think you are missing the point. The role of robots is to find the
solutions to hack the sites. Hackers find the solutions and develop
robots to attack the sites. For an hacker, this site is easy to hack.

Re: [PHP] novice with hacked email form issue

[Manuel Lemos]

Hello,

on 02/21/2006 03:19 PM cKc Consultants said the following:
 An email form that uses a simple server side php code to send the variable
 values managed to send:


 Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
 boundary=5c7c7e682d991e8ec1f6825582ea2103
 MIME-Version: 1.0
 Subject: round a rock by way of anchorage

 This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

 This appears between responses to $msg.= and shouldn't be something the
 user could see. In order to figure out how to prevent this, I need to know
 how it was done. I know I need to validate the email address more closely,
 but I'm curious as to what created this. I've found some interesting
 articles on the web, but nothing seems to deal with this issue.
Pointing me
 in the right direction would be appreciated!

The problem is that you are using unverified data came from the form
directly into the message. It is easy to hack your form because you are
neglecting the fact that an e-mail field may contain line breaks. This
opens the chance for hackers to add extra headers and even message body
data, as the PHP mail() function is very weak and does nothing reject
abusive data.

If you are looking for a more robust solution, take a look at this MIME
message composing class. Not only it can encode special characters that
can be legitemately fed to the message, but it also escapes line breaks
on headers, so any attacks like you suffered are suppressed, even when
you do not validate the form fields for valid e-mail addresses as you
should have done:

Re: [PHP] How secure is this?

[David Tulloh]

Your example fails for me, Firefox and Mozilla.  The rpc.php file 
doesn't seem to return anything.


To answer your question though, a bot is capable of getting anything 
that a human can, probably more.  It's all a question of effort.  As the 
email scrapers get plenty of hits looking for standard email addresses, 
they don't put much effort into getting addresses from people who try to 
hide them (people who hide them are also less likely to fall for spam).
In the current environment, I don't think any bot is going to bother 
running javascript, so any obstuftication using javascript should be safe.

Hi gang:

A few days ago I posted my first attempt ajax. I posed the question

There was some discussion, but I wasn't sure as to what the decision 
was, so I made another example, which can be found at:


http://www.xn--ovg.com/aja

How secure is this from bots?  Could a bot (or anyone) get to my email 
address via the code? Of course, you can read my email address by 
looking at the site, but I think I've hidden the code well enough from 
bots -- am I wrong?  And if so, how would a bot, or anyone for that 
matter, find it?


Thanks for looking and any suggestions you may have.

RE: [PHP] Problem with mail() on Debian

Jochem,

Thanks, but I tried that and it made no difference.

I have found that any changes I make to php.ini are ignored, even after
restarting Apache. I have been editing httpd.conf via Webmin, which for most
configs works fine (and is displayed in phpinfo(), the sendmail changes are
never displayed (always shows sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail).

[PHP] encrypted urls, mcrypt and mod_rewrite

[Dan Rossi]

Hi ive been trying to find answers with no luck. I am sending a 
urlencoded encrypted string made with mcrypt. what is happening is 
there is somehow special characters that mod_rewrite doesnt like so it 
wont find a regex match properly with this rule


RewriteRule ^feeds/(.*)$ refer.php?$1 [L,QSA]

Any ideas what it could be doing ? The strings are also quite random, 
so it will work sometimes for a particular url then other times not ?

There are no miracles. If you change restarted Apache and phpinfo()
shows the same in sendmail_path, either you have other Apache
configuration changing PHP options, or you have not really changed
php.ini, which is very likely.

No, I am not saying you are crazy. It is very likely that the real
php.ini is not in the path you think it is. This may happen if you have
installed Zend Studio or some other tool that needs to replace the real
php.ini and moves it elsewhere.

Look again to the phpinfo() output to determine the real path of php.ini .

That's the crazy part! phpinfo() shows the path to the php.ini file as the
one that I have been editing, and if I open that file in vi, it shows all
the changes I've made. This is a bare debian install in as much as it has no
windowing environments. No Zend Studio, or anything else fancy. Smarty and
PEAR work, its just the emailing that is letting me down just now. Once
that's resolved I'll move on to spreadsheet reading.
