if you are the only user (or only team/company) putting stuff on the

to protect yourself from [malicious] yourself is rather silly. i.e.
it's attacks from outside (sql injection, XSS, session spoofing/fixation)

Hi.
I'm trying to access SVN from PHP and as there seems to be no direct binding
for it yet i've had a look at WebSVN source to try and list directories in a
repository with the following code but it just doesn't return anything. It
doesn't return anything whether re-directing or not (i..e. using 21).
If I use the same method to call svnlook author, etc. it work fine, the
only problem is when using the svn command line program.
$output = array ();
$err = false;
$cmd = svn info http://172.16.0.32/svn/java/trunk 21;
if ($handle = popen($cmd, r))
{
$firstline = true;

{
$line = fgets($handle);

{
$err = true;
}
$firstline = false;
$output[] = rtrim($line);
}
pclose($handle);
if(!$err)
print $output;

Re: [PHP] .DAT file with PHP
I didn't get the file, but If the lines are seperated by br's instead of newlines, then $filename = monkey.html; $file_array = preg_split(/br.*?/, file_get_content($filename)); $rev_array = array_reverse($file_array); $output = join(br /, $rev_array); This could be modded to maintain any arguments inside the br tag, by replacing preg_replacing br.*? with $1\n, and then splitting on \n.

You have inserted the string br between what I assume are your data elements, but not PHP linefeed characters. Try using \n (backslash-n) as your line delimiter and try again. By the way, I neglected to tell you earlier that when file() reads a file into an array, it includes the linefeed characters at the end of each array element. These might or might not get in your way if you're outputting your data to an HTML file -- a linefeed will render as a whitespace character. If you'll be writing the data to another text file where linefeeds are crucial, you may wish to massage the array to ensure that every array element (including the last one read from the original file) ends in \n.

Re: [PHP] PHP + MMS Live Streaming + Protect URL.
It's a fairly standard authentication problem. I would solve it by using sessions. In the page and video stream start by checking for an authenticated flag in the session array. If the flag is present, display the content. If not, show a login page. When they login, set the authenticated flag and redirect them back to their original page. As you want to have people copy and paste the url, make sure that you set the use_only_cookies flag in the php config. Otherwise the session id may be part of the URL and defeat your authentication.

But the problem is that once someone starts to watch the streaming, a right click on the video will reveal the original address from which that transmission is being made. I'm trying to find a way to encapsulate this address and show only something like http://my.linux.server/live.php?auth_code=1238478653. I mean, the script live.php should be responsible to deliver the streaming instead of mms://my.windows.server/live.

[PHP] X-Mailer and headers when sending mail
Hi guys. When adding additional headers to an email that gets sent from the mail function. What purpose does the X-Mailer have? Also are the following linked: -X-Priority -Importance -X-MSMail-Priority Another question is can I omit the Message-ID for the email? or will this result in some mail servers viewing the mail as spam? What criteria do I use to generate the Message-ID? I've seen: $headers .= Message-ID: .date(YmdHis).you@.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].\n; is this ok?

[PHP] setting vhost or directory based options to php when using apache with php4-cgi
Hi. I'm using Debian sarge with php4-cgi and I'm looking for a way to set php settings like open_basedir or disable_functions at a per virtual_host or directry level from apache.

It identifies the mail client. So I normally set X-Mailer = MySite Mailer; or something. This directive won't normally cause problems with servers, but the Reply-To header will. Some servers reject mail without a valid return address, mainly because this is a spam trick. Its a reverse lookup of sorts on the mail server side.

[PHP] Extending a class with a static constructur (like PEAR::DB)
So... I'm trying to extend PEAR::DB. It'd be great to keep everything it offers
and just add a few more perhaps unconventional functions.
Intuitively, it seemed like this approach might work:
?PHP
require_once(DB.php);
# Toy Extension of DB Class
class DBToyExt extends DB
{
var $foo = 1;
var $bar = 2;
function testext($x)
{
echo \nHEY: $x;
}
}
$dte = DBToyExt::connect(mysql://weston_tssa:[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/weston_tssa);
$dte-testext('testing');
$dte-testext($dte-moo);
$dte-testext($dte-bar);
?
However, it doesn't seem to understand that the method testext exists, and
gives me a fatal error to that effect, as you can see:
http://weston.canncentral.org/web_lab/mlib/DBToyExt.php
I'm guessing this is a side effect of the static constructor -- apparently
using the extends keyword is enough to help the engine know that the class
DBToyExt is supposed to inherit the static function connct, but it's not
enough to bless the return value of connect from the class DB to DBToyExt
How do I get around this and extend DB?
Thanks,
Weston

a specific object wouldn't work.
Does anyone know if that would also work in PHP 5?
If not, is there another way to do what I'm trying to do?

In your example, $dte holds whatever DBToyExt::connect returns (whether
that's a connection resource, a boolean, a string - doesn't matter).
It's the same as:
function connect() {
return true;
}
$x = connect();
$x will only hold what 'connect' returns.
If you do:
var_dump($dte);
It won't be an object, so you can't use that to reference other methods
in that (or the parent) class(es).

It'd be great to keep everything it offers and just add a few more perhaps unconventional functions. $dte = DBToyExt::connect(mysql://weston_tssa:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/weston_tssa); DB::connect() is actually a factory call. So what is returned is an instance of (in your case) a DB_mysql object. Ahhh! I'd kept thinking what connect() returned was a db object, but it does look like it returns varying objects depending on which database you're using. Maybe I'd want to extend DB_common instead of DB_mysql, so that the methods would be inhereted by any object?
