Re: [PHP] Tidy HTML source?
This is getting too philosophical for my taste. There are many reasons to justify different ways of programming and each user, according to his/her requirements, experience and circumstances weights them differently and may decide in a different way. I am not about argue in favor of any one method. I just developed a program that might help one of those particular methods, which anyone is free to choose or not to. If you find it useful, I am happy to help, if you don't, that is fine with me.

Web services tend to be quite small applications, but even for larger ones I've never found performance to be an issue. Servers are fast and built for this kind of work: opening and reading files, running software. They have fast chips and big RAM. Regardless of which technique you use, you're going to utilize server resources and get your results in however many milliseconds. A templating system requires the processor to merge content with template. An inline markup assembly system requires the processor to build the markup from function calls. Where is the technique that doesn't take machine cycles? What about compexity ? I separate logic from markup in order to reduce complexity. I find both PHP logic and HTML markup easier to write, read, proofread, and modify when they're separate from one another (I use the word 'clean'). Those SO nice seperated template system produces lots of mini TPL files. I'm not talking about those template systems, whichever ones you're referring to, I'm talking about programming style and practice. I don't use any templating system you've ever seen. I roll my own code. I can make my templates as few or many as the project deserves. You only need to produce as many template files as you need and want. Separation of markup from logic doesn't necessarily mean separate files: when I'm doing somethign quick dirty I'll include the markup in the PHP file as a heredoc. What's most helpful to me is to remove the markup tags and attributes from the PHP logic structures as much as possible. I haven't seen any templating system out there in the world that I like, mostly because they mix the markup logic too much for my taste or because they don't let me design the markup precisely the way I want. You have to include them... Includes are easy. Actually I usually use file_get_contents() in a function that selects accompanying CSS template files programmatically. You have to parse them. Not necessarily. But if you do need to parse them, you need to write the parsing engine only once. Also you have to track and manage them. Yes, as you must manage all the files that make up a project. Adding a few more isn't a burden, especially if they bring clarity and efficiency to the work. And I'm not sure those template system gives you freedom. Because you cannot change your site design with this tpl files. If you change them too much you have to change your php code. I beg to differ: you *can* change your site design if you're using templates. That's part of the purpose of layer separation and templating in the first place, to enable markup changes without necessarily requiring software changes. You're free to change the template and/or change the stylesheet and/or change the data source according to your needs. Although we talk of separating logic from markup from presentation, these are not absolutely clean separations -- each component must have hooks in the others, otherwise there's no basis for a merge! Therefore if you change one component greatly enough, at least one other component must change as well. This is true of HTML and CSS, it's true of HTML and JavaScript, it's true of HTML and PHP. It's true of any interactive components in any system. It's true of PHP itself -- if you change a function's arguments or return type or a class's methods, you'll have to change the parts of your code that call that function or invoke that class. That's just the way it is. I'm sure you wouldn't argue that we write our software as one long mainline stream just to avoid includes and function calls. But it sounds as though you're suggesting that logic markup should be combined in the same statements simply because you don't want to have to change more than one component. Really good website designs can make modification less onerous. Layer separation is one of those techniques. Fortunately there are many ways to accomplish

Re: [PHP] Help with strange include problem in PHP 5.2.0
Hi Richard, Hi all, The include path is correct. That was one of the first things I played around with. At the moment, it's include_path = .. I also tried renaming the php.ini file to php.ini.off so that it wasn't found and took all the defaults, but with no success. Last night I built PHP 5.1.6 and took the same php.ini file. Everything worked. The build environment was the same, the configure arguments were the same, only the php version was different. I'm guessing that I've done something wrong somewhere because I haven't found any references to this problem from any one else. I just have no idea what it could be. I don't know if it's any help in locating the problem, my build environment is Solaris 10, Sun Studio 10 with the Sun C and C++ compilers. # cc-V Sun C 5.7 2005/01/07 # CC -V CC: Sun C++ 5.7 2005/01/07 LDFLAGS=-L/opt/sfw/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -L/usr/lib -R/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/lib:/opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2 CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/sfw/include -I/usr/sfw/include/openssl -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include -I/usr/include -I/opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2/sdk/include CFLAGS=-I/opt/sfw/include -I/usr/sfw/include/openssl -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include -I/usr/include -I/opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2/sdk/include And to your rant about the code developers make - I totally agree with you.

I'm going to go out on a limb and bet a dollar that the PHP 4.4.4 include_path has . as one element within the list and that the PHP 5.2.0 include_path does NOT have . within the list. I.e.: 4.4.4 include_path .:include_test_dir 5.2.0 include_path include_test_dir In the first case, 4.4.4, you've got . in there, so . combined with ./ will find the file you want. In the second case, 5.2.0, you've got no . in there, so ./ is looking in a directory, not the directory you expect, and it ain't finding the file because it's not there.

Re: [PHP] Tidy HTML source?
Dear Paul, Many thanks for replaying my message, It was very helpful and now I really understood why I so negative for templating systems... I haven't got programer background or education. I'm self learner. Many of php programmers have other programming experiences, and if I understand correctly their thinking was very different than me. They taking html elements as programming variables. And because of this they want to use tpl files, because that html vas broken their code structure. And In my aproach, I thinking php and html are combined. When thinking code in my mind I realize it with HTML. And my aproach uses combination both of them. This is about to how I educade my mind. And thats why I jumped satyam idea, because html doesn't fit in php naturally, I have to to some .. things to combine php and HTML and his aproach very close to use html tags naturally in php code. Also you are right that bad tpl experience, I spend my last 3 months to understand a project uses heavy tpl thing. I was very very messed. Of course this programmer responsibility. And one thing. If I remember correctly one of the Larsmus web presentation (its about to performance, Getting rich via php or someting like that) says reducing includes gives some kind of edge about performance.

Hi Jochem,
I meant overly-complicated in this specific context.
If each key of this array is going to contain only one value why not
reduce the array to something like this :
array(1) {
[1.2]=
array(2) {
[code]= string(3) 111
[status]= string(3) new
}
}

RE: [PHP] EZ array problem - What's wrong with my brain?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php
If you check out the documentation on arrays, you will see the second
code example shows the expected behavior of arrays in this case.
$arr = array(foo = bar, 12 = true);
echo $arr[foo]; // bar
echo $arr[12];// 1
Now, since each element can be indexed by either a string or an integer,
then you can do something like this:
$arr = array(1.2 = array(1,2,3,4));
$arr[0] = $arr[1.2];
That would set up your doubly indexed array so that you could use either
associative keys or numeric keys.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php
PHP.net can explain how references work better than I can. Basically it
creates a symbolic link (to use a *nix term) to the key 1.2. It
shouldn't take up too much memory to do that.

RE: [PHP] EZ array problem - What's wrong with my brain?
I forgot to mention that you won't be able to use 0, 1, etc. as PHP
will convert those to integers. If you do use them, then they will
replace [0] with whatever you put in there, and if you are using the
references, it will replace both instances with your new [0]

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php
If you check out the documentation on arrays, you will see the second
code example shows the expected behavior of arrays in this case.
$arr = array(foo = bar, 12 = true);
echo $arr[foo]; // bar
echo $arr[12];// 1
Now, since each element can be indexed by either a string or an integer,
then you can do something like this:
$arr = array(1.2 = array(1,2,3,4));
$arr[0] = $arr[1.2];
That would set up your doubly indexed array so that you could use either
associative keys or numeric keys.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php
PHP.net can explain how references work better than I can. Basically it
creates a symbolic link (to use a *nix term) to the key 1.2. It
shouldn't take up too much memory to do that.

Re: [PHP] EZ array problem - What's wrong with my brain?
Well if the key of your array is unknown, you could always gather the
key names with array_keys() and fiddle something from there or just
change the structure of you array to be more adapted to you needed or
use what Ray just proposed in another post concerning references and the
creation of a numeric key as a symbolic link towards your string key ...
Good luck !

Hi Jordan,
Thank you for your offer. As you know, I've signed up a couple of days
ago. I ran a scan yesterday and have gotten a big PDF file out of it.
I've quickly scanned through the results and it appears there are a lot of
times when I use one of my own functions (sometimes even without an
argument) it finds a vulnerability. I will analyze the results more
detailed later on. Would you appreciate comments on the service?
Thanks again,

Hi List,
As this subject may start you wondering what the hell I'm thinking,
let me
clearify:
I've been rewriting an GPL'ed PHP/MySQL app from scratch for the last
12
months or so. It facilitates storage of DNA mutations and the
corresponding patient data. Because patient data is involved, privacy
is
very important.
Now of course I read lots of pages on SQL injection and whatnot, and I
strongly believe my application is protected from this kind of abuse.
However, believing is not enough. I've had some comments in the past
about
security (previous version of the software) and although I didn't
agree to
the critic, I want to be able to say the new app went though various
forms
of attacks. This month, I want to release 2.0-alpha-01...
*** THIS IS NOT ABOUT HACKING THE SERVER ***
But about getting in the application when you're not allowed to!
If you feel like helping me out, it's located at
http://chromium.liacs.nl/LOVDv.2.0-dev/
1) Please try to get in. There's one account in the system, a database
administrator, capable of doing anything. If you get in, you can
easily
create a new user using the setup tab. This will be the prove of you
breaking my security rules.
2) Can you manage to view unpublic data? Using the Variants tab, you
can see there is currently one entry in the database (with two
mutations).
This entry has a hidden column, called 'Patient ID'. There is a
text-string in that column. If you can tell me what that string is,
you
win :)
3) Feel free to register as a submitter to see if that gives you any
rights that you shouldn't have. A submitter is only capable of adding
new
data to the database (Submit tab), but that data will not be published
immediately.
4) After a while, I will release login details of a curator account.
This
user is allowed to see non-public data and handle the specific gene,
but
NOT create new users or the like.
If you have any questions, please ask. Thank you in advance for using
your
expertise for the good cause :)
In case anyone is interested; I've created a low-level user
('untrusted')
in the system. Password is equal to username. Feel free to try and do
stuff you're not supposed to, like creating a new user or creating a
gene.

If you did use ENV to set the username and password, you could always unset it using the same method after you ran the mysql command. So it'd only be exposed for a very brief period of time and slightly less accessible than just running a process list. It still falls under the category of security through obscurity which isn't a best practice scenario.

Re: [PHP] Remote MySQL connection via PHP file
i suggest you:
database.conf (the file on another server)
host=localhost
user=test
pass=test
anothervar=anothervalue
on your script:
$temp = file(http://../database.conf);
foreach($temp as $val) {
$temp2 = explode(=,$val);
$$temp2[0] = $temp[1];
}
after that, you`ll have:
$host = 'localhost'
$user = 'test'
$pass = 'test'
$anothervar ='anothervalue';
mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);

I have in front of me my first IBM Green Card (IBM System/360 Reference Data, GX20-1703-3) from 1966 which debunks that urban legend. If the data in the mainframe database is all upper case, it was sloppy programming or sloppy design that got it there. If it _is_ stored in the mainframe database in proper UC/lc form, then it is probably a sloppy extraction procedure that is to blame for your input. Yeah, that would be the problem. My website and its MySQL database are totally seperate from this data (its class schedule data). All the data in the database is uppercase and I've been told that all the data must remain as uppercase only. Why? I have no idea. Can I change that? Nope. Welcome to my world and the joys of working with governmental institutions. So I did misspeak before. The mainframe itself probably supports UC/lc, but whatever program is on it, or maybe its just a procedure issue (its _always_ been done this way so we _must_ continue doing it that way). But, the data I see in my extract is all upper case and that's what I am dealing with. Ahhh... So, it was sloppy design -- Way Back Then. Except, in MainFrame years, the arrival of the WWW and URL's was only weeks ago. There is no excuse for that DB design to be all uppercase, since that would pollute the data (URL's) and 'they' had to know it even then. Gov. work + lowest bidder . Good luck with the project. And, Happy Shopping Season.

RE: [PHP] Remote MySQL connection via PHP file
That seems like it wouldn't be very secure at all. Maybe it's just because I don't understand the reason for *having* to do it that way. My first suggestion would be to see if there's any way you don't have to do that. If you have to do it, I would suggest maybe having it on an NFS share, or maybe FTP.

I'm sure there are more efficient ways to do this, but here's a fall-back: Write a PHP program (web service) to run on the server where the database is located. From the other server, make an HTTP request that includes the connection details (obfuscated), some sort of password that can verify the authenticity of the requesting agent, and either the literal SQL query or a symbolic pointer to a stored query. http://example.com/sqlservice.php?u=HJDFHp=hglkdla=1095673263q=members or http://example.com/sqlservice.php?u=HJDFHp=hglkdla=1095673263q=SELECT%20Firstname... The web service validates the request and returns the dataset, in XML, as a serialized array, or in another easy-to-use format, for the requesting program to parse and utilize. The first thing I'd put in the return dataset would be a status code to communicate MySQL errors, perhaps also num_rows for SELECT queries to reduce the number of trans-server requests necessary for typical jobs.

on your script:

foreach($temp as $val) {

Re: [PHP] magic_quotes
Hello,
without trying to embarrass myself, but
Here the smart quoting function off php.net
|function quote_smart($value)
{
// Stripslashes
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$value = stripslashes($value);
}
// Quote if not a number or a numeric string
if (!is_numeric($value)) {
$value = ' . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . ';
}
return $value;
}
From that Idea I implemented that into my MySQL class:
public function smartQuote( $string )
{
if( get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1 ) {
return stripslashes($string);
}
else {
return mysql_real_escape_string($string);
}
}
I call up in in the following manner:
$result= $mysql-query(SELECT *
FROM [[prefix]]_users
WHERE name =
'.MySQL::smartQuote($_POST['username']).'
AND password =
'.md5(MySQL::smartQuote($_POST['password'])).'
);
Now, when magic_quotes is off and the user name is say Jingle'sBells -
it works fine, because mysql_real_escape_string() kicks in.
But if magic_quotes is on I get the error that something is invalid in
my SQL syntax near 'sBells' - because of could it would look like name =
'Jingle'sBells'
So I modified a little:
public function smartQuote( $string )
{
if( get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1 ) {
return mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($string));
}
else {
return mysql_real_escape_string($string);
}
}
That now works both with magic_quotes on and off for Inserts / Selects
etc. etc. (of course I have to call on MySQL::smartQuote() for each
value - but it's worth it. Or does my function defeat the point totally?
I did notice that with both magic_quotes On or Off data is inserted
correctly into the table as Jingle's Bells without slashes.
I was wondering if my above function is correct and the website's
documentation is off a little?

Johannes

You almost have it. What you need to do is if magic quotes is on,
then stripslashes and apply mysql_real_escape_string. If magic quotes
is off only apply mysql_real_escape_string since php didn't escape

Also in your mysql_real_escape_string I would suggest adding the

Blah sorry, I saw your second example not your final code. Some
scripts I use have different database connections and because of that
it is very important to always make sure I am using the correct link
identifier.
The php best practice example checks the string to see if it is a
number. If it is there technically isn't any reason to escape because
there won't be any quotes.
Just out of curiosity how exactly are you going to put the link
identifier in your method since it is static?

I personally would not test for is_numeric() to determine whether or
not to call mysql_real_escape_string.
I don't know UTF-8/UTF-16/Klingon well enough to know that it's going
to Do The Right Thing.
$value = ' . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . ';
I also would not attempt to add the apostrophes at this layer of
business logic, personally.
Put them into the SQL string, rather than as part of the data being
munged.
}
return $value;
}
The easier and more clear way to do what you did:
From that Idea I implemented that into my MySQL class:
public function smartQuote( $string )
{
if( get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1 ) {
return stripslashes($string);
}
//No matter what the data is/was, and no matter about GPC on or off
//you still want to escape it for MySQL:
else {
return mysql_real_escape_string($string);
}
}
I was wondering if my above function is correct and the website's
documentation is off a little?
The function you have is correct; The documentation is correct.
Resolving those two inside your head is going to take a tiny bit more
effort on your part, but you've obviously got it to about 99% now!
Rock On!

Re: [PHP] Preg_match - Find URL and convert to lower case

Well the problem would be then that the entire string would be lower

Why not use lower(link) in SQL to get the link out in the first place?
Also, the domain part cannot be case-sensitive, so you needn't worry
about that part.
For the 10% that don't work, a quick check with common variants on
capitalization might help to fix those up.
Since these are mostly instructor's websites, that last 10% I figure
it would be easier to just ask the instructors to change their site
addresses.
Since these are in the middle of the text, I don't think that lower
will work. Doesn't it just do the same thing as strtolower? The query
as is right now is (edited) select note_text as note_text from
classes where note_text is many lines of text and in the middle of
some are links and emails.
What I ended up with, is this, which takes care of website addresses
and emails as well (although those stay all-caps). The str_replace is
there because some have the HTTP and some don't and I figured it was
easier to just wipe them all out first.
$section_notes = str_replace(HTTP://,,$section_notes);
$section_notes = preg_replace('/WWW.(.*?) /e', 'a href=\http://
www. . strtolower($1) . \ target=\_blank\http://www.; .
strtolower($1) . /a', $section_notes);
$section_notes = eregi_replace((([a-z0-9_]|\\-|\\.)+@([^[:space:]]*)
([[:alnum:]-])), a href=\mailto:\\1\;\\1/a,$section_notes);
Anyone have a better idea on how to accomplish the same thing?

Re: [PHP] magic_quotes
Blah sorry, I saw your second example not your final code. Some scripts I use have different database connections and because of that it is very important to always make sure I am using the correct link identifier. The php best practice example checks the string to see if it is a number. If it is there technically isn't any reason to escape because there won't be any quotes. Just out of curiosity how exactly are you going to put the link identifier in your method since it is static? Hey Eric, The function standalone seems static, but it's implemented in a MySQL class I wrote. I can just add $this-connId as the link identifier And it should work no problem :) Regards, -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] signal handling
Hello Despite all of my results to succeed, i can not make this work. What i want to do is to write a simple socket server in PHP. My current example just prints the same character, you send to server from keyboard. It is successfull in forking, and generates child as people connect. However in any way the client exits, the child process remains defunct on system. I am trying to use signal handling, but some comments say through hanging sockets, it is not possible to handle signals. How can i stop this from happening, i am attaching the code i am working on, the 2 signals added at the bottom are just for test there, i tried all other signal types. Sending a posix_kill(posix_getpid(), SIGKILL) to the process when the client exits does not kill it too, it still is defunct. My code: http://pastey.net/2910 Thanks!

Show me *ANY* machine on the planet where those two options have similar performance metrics. Actually I was referring to machine cycles, not disk access time. But on the topic of disc access, most mid-to-large PHP applications are going to be opening reading various files -- PHP includes, databases, and not uncommonly images and text files. Even if a templating application had a somewhat higher different disk-access profile from the average PHP app, I wouldn't consider that by itself to be a reason not to open template files. I consider that to be good use of the resources, not abuse. You have to parse them. Not necessarily. But if you do need to parse them, you need to write the parsing engine only once. You mean all those templating languages are still on version 1.0 of their parser? I think not. I think not, either. The person I was replying to said, You have to parse them, as though parsing a lot of files meant a lot of human labor. My reply meant that once you write the parser, your work is done, and then the parser parses any and all files you give it for lunch. Of course you're going to improve a parser over time, just as you are going to improve all aspects of a maturing application. Also you have to track and manage them.

Fortunately I don't use any of those templating solutions you're referring to, and excessive templates isn't a problem for me. My own software usually takes three templates per page -- header, body, and footer, and the header and footer are generally global throughout the site. That seems quite reasonable to me.

My own software usually takes three templates per page -- header, body, and footer, and the header and footer are generally global throughout the site. That seems quite reasonable to me. This topic comes up so often... My template engine allows you to punt any chunk of content you want to an extra template. Then when you compile the page you get 1, yes, 1 php page that is directly accessed from the browser. Thus, contrary to the kinds of template engines to which Richard refers, my engine reduces the fstat call count while keeping your content in nice maintainable and re-usable sized chunks. layout.template --- html headjinn:template path=layout/meta.template//head body jinn:template path=layout/header.template/ jinn:template path=layout/leftPane.template/ jinn:template path=layout/rightPane.template/ jinn:template path=layout/content.template/ jinn:template path=layout/footer.template/ /body /html layout/content.template --- div class=content div class=titlejinn:title//div jinn:main/ /div contactUs.source Blah blah blah blah blah blah... please contact us. patterns.txt array ( 'target' = 'contactUs.php', 'source' = '//contactUs.source', 'template' = '//layout.template', 'title'= 'Contact Us', ); contactUs.php - Everything defined in patterns.txt compiled together such that the jinn:main/ tag is replaced by the source file. All jinn:template/ and jinn:source/ tags are imported during compile time to produce a single php file that IS the file accessed by visitors via their browser. If there's no need to have dynamic code, this does a great job of compiling static HTML files also... and I don't know many other template systems that can compile their templates to statically accessible HTML files. NYAH, NYAH! That said, in general my framework uses one source file for each class (or two classes if it's a factory and what the factory produces)... so I guess I save on content includes, and lose out on dynamic class includes. But then, other than 5 or 6 core classes, if you don't use the other classes, then they don't get loaded (on demand requests).
