[PHP] Dividing, and keeping, text from the first space
PHP List, This regular expression stuff is way tricky. Thanks to help from this list, I have an expression that will select the first word of a string, up to the first white space: #^(.*)\s#iU But after some consideration, I realized that I wanted to keep both parts of the original text. The first word, and then everything that came after it, should be divided and stored in separate variables. I looked through the php.net manual, and found preg_split(). At first I thought using my original expression would work, if I included the PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE parameter. It would pull out the first word, but also keep it. Turns out that's not true. It removes the first word and the space, and looks for something before and after and only finds something after. Thus, in my current situation, it returns only one variable, which contains everything after the first space. I realized what I need to do in this case is not select everything up to the first space, but to find the first space without selecting what comes before it. So the expression I had wasn't suitable for preg_split(). So then, what is the right expression? Looking back over previous discussion and resources about regular expression syntax, I thought I had to say: Start at the beginning: ^ Ignore anything that isn't a space: [^\s] Select the space character: \s Be case insensitive and not greedy: iU Thus, my expression should be (using hash marks, #, as delimiters): #^[^\s]|s#iU More specifically, my preg_split() syntax is: $parts = preg_split(#^[^\s]|s#iU, $word, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE); But it returns a two element array, where the first element is empty, and the second element is the whole original string. Where did I go wrong this time? Thank you for all your time and help. -- Dave M G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It is possible that it would only have execute for owner and group, not other. Sorry, yes, The PHP binary is executable by all. Actually, I'm very sure the error message Could not startup. is generated by PHP-cli. When googling on that exact message, I found it in the PHP-cli source code (including the period at the end). However, I cannot determine from the PHP-cli source code what's up. It looks like when you run the script, then it works just fine, but it blows up when you run it through cron. Two things I would check: 1) Cron can read your *.php files. 2) Cron can run php to test #2, have cron do a php -i and see what happens. 1) was OK, but 2) didn't return anything, not even an error... this has started me thinking, and when using -ni it works...! -n makes PHP-cli ignore the .ini file. When looking at my .ini file, the modification date is July 31st, the day it all stopped working. I need to leave now, but will investigate tomorrow to see what's up with my .ini files, on both machines, and check if my scripts run with -n or after tweaking of the .ini. Thanks! OK guys... guess what? It was the php.ini file from PHP-cli. I had been messing around with PHP-GTK and had edited PHP-cli's php.ini to load the gtk.so library (on both machines). Apparently, this stops PHP-cli to function completely from cron. Even the 'Hello world' script didn't run. The suggestion to try php -i got me thinking. Since that didn't return anything, I thought about trying php -h (worked) and php -ni (ignore .ini file). Suddenly, it worked...

Re: [PHP] Dividing, and keeping, text from the first space
Robert, Thank you for your quick response and helpful advice. Use preg_match() and pay special attention to the manual as it refers to the third parameter :) The expression you need follows: #^([^\\s]*)\\s(.*)$#U This works perfectly. I now see that the preg_match() function returns an array with the original text, the selected text, and the discarded text. That wasn't clear to me before when I wasn't looking for that kind of behavior. But now that you point it out I see how it works. But I am still confused about the expression you used. I can't quite break it down: The opening ^ says to start at the beginning of the line. The brackets indicate a sub-expression. The square brackets indicate a character class (?). The ^ inside the square brackets means not. First question, why is there an extra backslash before the space marker \s? Isn't that an escape character, so wouldn't that turn the following space marker into a literal backslash followed by an s? The * says to select everything matching the preceeding conditions. There's that double backslash and s again. Hmm... does the (.*) after the second \s mean to match all the whitespace found? For example if there happened to be two space characters instead of just one? The PHP manual says the $ means to assert end of subject. Which I think means stop looking for any more matches. So basically I'm confused about the extra escape slashes. -- Dave M G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] preg_match

[PHP] sessions no longer work
Hello,
I have a site that was coded a while ago. I was just told that the admin
side no longer works. I looked and the host recently put php 4.4.2 on the
site. I have tried a few things but nothing seems to work. The problem is
once you log in the admin page always kicks you back, doesn't see the
session vars. What could be wrong? Here is the code:
?php require_once('Connections/db.php'); ?
? if (isset($_POST[uname])){
$uname=$_POST[uname];
$pword=md5($_POST[pword]);
$SQL=select * from users where admin=1 and pword='$pword' and
uname='$uname';
mysql_select_db($database, $wards);
$Result1 = mysql_query($SQL, $wards) or die(mysql_error());
$affected_rows = mysql_num_rows($Result1);
if ($affected_rows0){
session_start();
$_SESSION['wardadmin']=yes;
header(location: admin.php);
}
else {$bad=Incorrect username and Password;}
}
I can echo out the session here and see yes, but I have this code in

[PHP] returning to the same page after log in
Hello all! This is a bit difficult to explain. On a site I am building I sometimes use the GET method to forward values to the next page. There are certain pages that you need to be logged in to to be able to see data. So you arrive at the page, you realize that you are not logged in, so you type your username/password and hit 'log in'. Then the page gets severely messed up as the GET data are not forwarded (at least, I think that's the problem). Any ideas how to solve this? I tried to send a header(location: ...) with the document_root and request_uri as the location, but that doesn't do the trick. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] problem with quotes (single and double) in forms
Hi to all. Have a web site on server where magic quote is turned On. Because of problems with quotes within forms, I was thinking to turn it Off. I wonder how much work I'll have to change code to accept new setting? Are we talking about major changes or something that could be done in day or two (the site has few couple-pages long forms and about 10 regular contact us/register/edit membership/edit account/... forms)? I have access to php.ini. Could I just turn magic quotes Off to see what's going on and what forms will not work and how to fix it? On http://www.zend.com/manual/security.magicquotes.disabling.php that ini_set() is not an option, but there is an solution to disable magic quotes at runtime. Means, I can use this to change code (prepare for turning off) on pages with forms? Correct?

original text, the selected text, and the discarded text. That wasn't
clear to me before when I wasn't looking for that kind of behavior. But
now that you point it out I see how it works.
But I am still confused about the expression you used. I can't quite
break it down:
The opening ^ says to start at the beginning of the line.
The brackets indicate a sub-expression.
The square brackets indicate a character class (?).
The ^ inside the square brackets means not.
First question, why is there an extra backslash before the space marker
\s? Isn't that an escape character, so wouldn't that turn the
following space marker into a literal backslash followed by an s?
The * says to select everything matching the preceeding conditions.
There's that double backslash and s again.
Hmm... does the (.*) after the second \s mean to match all the
whitespace found? For example if there happened to be two space
characters instead of just one?
The PHP manual says the $ means to assert end of subject. Which I
think means stop looking for any more matches.
So basically I'm confused about the extra escape slashes.
The extra slashes are to properly escape the backslash character since
you are using double quotes. While it is true that your expression works
because \s has no meaning in PHP, you can't rely on that being
indefinitely true. You are relying on a side effect of an unrecognized
special character. In all honesty, I should have escaped the $ character
also since it denotes a variable in double quotes. In case you didn't
know, double quotes indicate interpolated strings, single quotes
indicate literal strings. This is why you can produce newline, tab, and
other special characters in double quotes, but not in single quotes. The
best way to write your string since you do not intend to perform any
interpolation is the following:
'#^([^\s]*)\s(.*)$#'
As for the meaning of the individual parts of the pattern...
The first ^ anchors the matching to the beginning of the string to
match.
The open square braces indicates a character range (which can include
character classes such as \s for whitespace. The ^ within the range
negates the semantics of the range, so as you say... do NOT match the
enclosed range. The * following the square brackets say that there can
be 0 to infinity characters matched (this means if your value being
matched has a lead space then you can get a blank first match... you may
actually want + here instead of *, but I think you're trimming anyways
and I followed your original). the following \s then matches the first
whitespace following the initial block. You might actually want to put
a ? after this so that if the end of the value is reached without any
whitespace then you still match the initial portion. The .* portion says
match 0 to infinity characters of any value and the trailing $ anchors
the matching to the end of the value thus forcing .* to match all
characters from the space to the end of the string.
As I said you may want the following pattern in cases where no space
exists:
'#^([^\s]*)\s?(.*)$#'
In this usage the ? makes it match only if it exists. it's the same as
\s{0,1} but obviously shorter :)
Cheers,
Rob.

And even if you really want to use $count, why not use the faster +=

$count += 1;
Or if 1 is always going to be your increment:
$count++;
Or if you know how ++ works and want to eke just a tad more speed out:
++$count;

That said, if we were to only match on a space character:
?php
$text = The nimble fox jumped over the river.;
if( ($splitPoint = strpos( $text, ' ' )) !== false )
{
$word = substr( $text, 0, $splitPoint );
$rest = substr( $text, $splitPoint + 1 );

else
{
$word = $text;
$rest = '';

echo [$word] [$rest]\n;

But then yours is more concise (though not as concise as the regular

[PHP] Best way to get PHP5
Hello, Generally (well, actually 100%) I just use whatever version of PHP is included with a certain distro (Redhat pre-Fedora, Fedora Core, CentOS). None of the versions I've used have come with PHP5 and I'd really like to get with the times and use PHP5. I know that Fedora Core 5 offers PHP 5.1.2 but I've heard some negative things about it in general (FC5). I've never compiled PHP myself so admittedly I'm a bit skeered... Is the recommended path to just go with whatever distro I prefer and then download PHP5 from php.net and install it myself?

It's all about the headers... I use the following:

{
if( $csv === null )
{
$csv = $this-csv;
}
if( $filename === null )
{
$filename = 'download.csv';
}
header( Content-type: text/csv );
header( Content-disposition: inline; filename=$filename );
echo $csv;
exit();
}
You can feel free to adapt it since I ripped it out of my CSV writer
service and so it won't work as-is.
Cheers,
Rob.

[PHP] create multidimensional array with n depth
Hi all:
I've been trying to create a multidimensional array with n depth in php.
Tried to use a recursive function passing array references by pointers but
seems like it's not possible or I still don't understand this subject
enough. Finally managed to get it going using the eval function. The code
below converts a seperated string into a multi dimensional array with n
depth:
e.g. $array['1_20-2_16-7_14'] = 12 will become
$eval_array[1][20][2][16][7][14] = 12
foreach(array_keys($this-quantity_array) AS $key){
if($this-quantity_array[$key] 0){
$combinations = explode('-', $key);
$eval_string = '$eval_array';
foreach(array_keys($combinations) AS $key2){
$option_key_value = explode('_', $combinations[$key2]);
$eval_string .=
'['.$option_key_value[0].']['.$option_key_value[1].']';
}
$eval_string .= ' = '.$this-quantity_array[$key].';';
eval($eval_string);
}
}
Using eval() for it seems a bit expensive to me. So I've been wondering if
there is an easier way?
TIA

Using eval() for it seems a bit expensive to me. So I've been wondering if
indeed - if your using eval() then there is pretty much always a better way;
unless there isn't and then you probably don't need any help from this list :-)
there is an easier way?
dunno, but there is usually a highway. ;-

Re: [PHP] create multidimensional array with n depth
My brain is really fried right now and I'm sure someone has a more indepth
answer/opinion on this subject, but it occurs to me that you can get away from
using eval() if you do some kind of recursive function using:
$temp[] = array($arrval1, $arrval2,...);
and $arrval1 could == array($arr2val1, $arr2val2,...);
using the [] syntax and/or assigning arrays to other array value positions
could do what you want it to do if you can work out the resursive
functionality. No need to use strings and eval() all over the place.
Sorry my head's not up to resursion right now.. plus I never did have as
intuitive of a feel for it as I'd ever have liked (understand the concept and
can grok other people's stuff, but never bothered writing any of my own);
Maybe that's a nudge in the right direction while the others finish lunch or

Hi all:
I've been trying to create a multidimensional array with n depth in php.
Tried to use a recursive function passing array references by pointers but
seems like it's not possible or I still don't understand this subject
enough. Finally managed to get it going using the eval function. The code
below converts a seperated string into a multi dimensional array with n
depth:
e.g. $array['1_20-2_16-7_14'] = 12 will become
$eval_array[1][20][2][16][7][14] = 12
foreach(array_keys($this-quantity_array) AS $key)
if($this-quantity_array[$key] 0)
$combinations = explode('-', $key);
$eval_string = '$eval_array';
foreach(array_keys($combinations) AS $key2)
$option_key_value = explode('_', $combinations[$key2]);
$eval_string .=
'['.$option_key_value[0].']['.$option_key_value[1].']';
$eval_string .= ' = '.$this-quantity_array[$key].';';
eval($eval_string);
Using eval() for it seems a bit expensive to me. So I've been wondering if
there is an easier way?

Yep, that's pretty bad use of eval() :) Instead use recursion or a
sliding reference:
?php
$key = '1_20-2_16-7_14';
$val = 12;
$bits = split( '_|-', $key );
$nested = array();
$ref = $nested;
$lastref = null;
foreach( $bits as $bit )
{
$lastRef = $ref;
$ref[$bit] = array();
$ref = $ref[$bit];
}
if( $lastRef === null )
{
$nested = $val;
}
else
{
$lastRef[$bit] = $val;
}
print_r( $nested );
?
Cheers,
Rob.

[PHP] script stopped working- no output from unserialize()
So,
When I echo out the results from the db I get the serialized data but when I
try and pass the serialized data to the function to unserialize the output
it doesn't work - no output what-so-ever. Also when the serialized data is
sent to the function and then echoed out before it is unserialized() I get
the expected result .- eg
a:4:{i:0;s:4:pass;i:1;s:4:pass;i:2;s:4:pass;
Which leads me to believe that the problem is with the php function
unserialize().
The same function works fine locally. I am working with php version 5
locally and version 4.4.2 on the remote host Could that be the problem?

[PHP] Comment form spammer
Hi,
Recently, a client of mine was getting a ton of spam email from a site
called hotbox.com. I updated her form to one with more spam security,
but she is still receiving junk email.
Anyone feel like sharing code snippets that will help beef-up spam
protection for a contact script?
Do you all enable a CAPTCHA system?
Here is what I am currently using in my contact form script to protect
from spam:
# Error text:
$no_go = 'Forbidden - You are not authorized to view this page!';
# First, make sure the form was posted from a browser.
# For basic web-forms, we don't care about anything other than requests
from a browser:
if(!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { die($no_go); exit(); }
# Make sure the form was indeed POST'ed (requires your html form to use
action=post):
if(!$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == POST) { die($no_go); exit(); }
# Host names from where the form is authorized to be posted from:
$auth_hosts = array(site1.com, site2.com);
# Where have we been posted from?
$from_array = parse_url(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']));
# Test to see if the $from_array used www to get here.
$www_used = strpos($from_array['host'], www.);
# Make sure the form was posted from an approved host name:
if(!in_array(($www_used === false ? $from_array['host'] :
substr(stristr($from_array['host'], '.'), 1)), $auth_hosts)) {
//log_bad_request();
header(HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden);
exit();
}
# Attempt to defend against header injections:
$bad_strings = array(Content-Type:, MIME-Version:,
Content-Transfer-Encoding:, bcc:, cc:);
# Loop through each POST'ed value and test if it contains one of the
$bad_strings:
foreach($_POST as $k = $v) {
foreach($bad_strings as $v2) {
if(strpos($v, $v2) !== false) {
log_bad_request();
header(HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden);
exit();
}
}
}
# Made it past spammer test, free up some memory and continue rest of
script:
unset($k, $v, $v2, $bad_strings, $auth_hosts, $from_array, $www_used);

what does your serialized value NOT have that mine does?
Which leads me to believe that the problem is with the php function

looks to me like you are giving unserialize() a borked string and it's giving
you boolean false in return - that's a fair swap in my book.
The same function works fine locally. I am working with php version 5

you can rule it out until you can rule it out.

There are incompatibilities between 4 and 5 with respect to unserialize,
though I thought it was forward incompatibility and not backward. For
instance PHP didn't mind unserializing integer keys that were denoted as
strings, whereas PHP 5 would choke unless the key was serialized
specifically as an integer when all it contained was integer digits. I
don't know what your exact problem is, but it could be an
incompatibility issue. Also PHP5 may have added extra datatypes or
magic to the serialization process that PHP4 may not recognize. Maybe
turn your error logging to max to see if you get an error message
indicating corruption.
Cheers,
Rob.

Sounds good to me. Thanks for pointing that out.
I just found this link:
*Form Post Hijacking*
http://www.anders.com/projects/sysadmin/formPostHijacking/
Looks like the above article mentions the same thing and proposes this
as a fix:
$_POST['email'] = preg_replace(/\r/, , $_POST['email']);
$_POST['email'] = preg_replace(/\n/, , $_POST['email']);
This is another good one:

Ahh, good point. So, with the above line, you are saying:

way to test for html spam. Thanks for sharing! :D

the expected result .- eg

This seems to be missing a closing } on the end, from this naive
reader's crude guess at what should be there...
Are you sure the DB text field length is big enough...?
Which leads me to believe that the problem is with the php function
unserialize().
The same function works fine locally. I am working with php version 5
locally and version 4.4.2 on the remote host Could that be the
problem?
It's entirely possible that the serialize/unserialize functions
changed the internal data format from 4 to 5, I presume...
Compare the output from 4.4.2 of ?php echo serialize($foo);? and the
same $foo on PHP 5.0 and then see if they are the same.

Re: [PHP] problem with quotes (single and double) in forms
try to use this few lines of code.
function stripMagicQuotes($var)
{
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$var= stripslashes($var);
}
return $var;
}
this way you don't really have to worry if magic quotes is on or off.

Hmm actually:

should do it I guess.. not exactly ideal but would work quickly.

Re: [PHP] Dividing, and keeping, text from the first space
Robert, Thank you for responding. The extra slashes are to properly escape the backslash character since you are using double quotes As I said you may want the following pattern in cases where no space exists: '#^([^\s]*)\s?(.*)$#' Thank you for your detailed explanation. Especially with regards to the impact of double quotes versus single quotes in an expression. I see now that I most likely will find it simpler to use single quotes and avoid having to escape characters excessively. As you might have seen in a response of mine to another of your postings, all this advice has come together, and my script now accomplishes what I had hoped it would. Thank you and the PHP list in general for the continued great support. -- Dave M G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

$var= stripslashes($var);
} else {
array_walk($var, stripMagicQuotes);
