Huh?
Say you got a loop of self-include:
e.g:
=== a.php
?php
echo \nRunning .__FILE__. (id=X)!\t;
if ($visited5) {
echo You are visiting here!;
$visited++;
include(__FILE__);
}
else {
echo That's enough! Bye!;
}
?
In (id=X)!.. what's the X? You may say you can use $visited as an
identifier, but it's not the point I mean.. I want a global include file
identifier, that is not dependent on other variables.
realpath(__FILE__) will give you the absolute path on the server of the
current file, which is unique. Why you want that for what you're doing I
have no idea, but it's the only unique identifier I can think of that isn't a
variable or constant. (Well, it is a constant, but you get the idea. I
suppose.)
The fact that you even want something like that, however, scares me.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. -- Thomas

{
$GLOBALS['include_counter'][__FILE__]++;

if( $GLOBALS['include_counter'][__FILE__] 5 )
{

include(__FILE__);
}

{

}

The actual counter stuff could be put in a function which could be in an
include file you load so that you do the following at the top:
?php
include( 'someFunctions.php' );
register_include( __FILE__ );
?

I think what you want to look for is how to write a socket server. You'll find a lot about this via google. A socket server lets you open up a persistent port for listening with a process that runs continually in the background and then allows you to spawn off multiple sockets as they come in, like a web server or ftp or ssh. My guess is that there's a fair amount of complexity here that you'll have to investigate. For instance, you'll have to preempt port 80, the standard port on which httpd listens, forward the http request to your web server on a local port, retrieve the response and pass it back to the client. And presumably you'll have to be doing this for multiple clients. I think someone on this list suggested using AJAX. That would be much simpler. If you had to have data persistence, for instance, you could store data in temporary files on the server or in temporary database entries, or you could simply pass data back and forth using POST. The script which handles the AJAX requests would be the component that resides on the server. _ Myron Turner http://www.room535.org http://www.bstatzero.org http://www.mturner.org/XML_PullParser/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Sending secure mail
I need to send a large number of emails (not spam!) through an external SMTP server that requires TLS and a username/password. I have some control over the SMTP server but very little over the web server where the scripts reside. How do I connect with TLS, authenticate and send the mail? I had problems with mail() originally (one of the reasons why we now have a dedicated mail server) and I had to connect to the SMTP server by hand with sockets and go through the SMTP steps by hand. I can connect to the new server with following code. $sock = fsockopen( 'smtp.eg.com', 25, $errNo, $errStr ); However, when I send the rcpt to: line, I'm told I don't have access to the relay - i.e. I need to log in. This is where my knowledge of SMTP reaches it's limit but I've read about the auth login command, however, it says it needs to be run over an encrypted connection, i.e. TLS. I can't disable this on the server, other services need TLS to be on the SMTP server. I've tried changing smtp.example.com to tls://smtp.example.com but it then fails to connect at all ($errNo is 115, $errStr is Operation now in progress). If I connect and send starttls, I don't get any more data from the server and I've no idea what it's waiting for, be it a public key or whatever. FWIW, the email server's certificate is a dodgy, home made one which throws up a security error when tested with a mail client, but once accepted it is fine. Is there an easier way to do this? If not, how do I get the connection so I can get to and rcpt to: line and beyond? Thanks, Rob -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It supports smtp authentication etc, see included docs and also http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/docs/ If that's not an option for whatever reason, follow what that does with authentication and implement it in your own script. -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] PHP book reviewers wanted
Hello, Short version: the PHPClasses site is looking for reviewers of books of interest of the PHP users. Authors and publishers want to send me the books but nowadays I do not have the time to review most of them, if any.

[PHP] Re: Sending secure mail
Hello, on 02/04/2007 10:22 PM Rob said the following: I need to send a large number of emails (not spam!) through an external SMTP server that requires TLS and a username/password. I have some control over the SMTP server but very little over the web server where the scripts reside. How do I connect with TLS, authenticate and send the mail? I had problems with mail() originally (one of the reasons why we now have a dedicated mail server) and I had to connect to the SMTP server by hand with sockets and go through the SMTP steps by hand. I can connect to the new server with following code. $sock = fsockopen( 'smtp.eg.com', 25, $errNo, $errStr ); However, when I send the rcpt to: line, I'm told I don't have access to the relay - i.e. I need to log in. This is where my knowledge of SMTP reaches it's limit but I've read about the auth login command, however, it says it needs to be run over an encrypted connection, i.e. TLS. I can't disable this on the server, other services need TLS to be on the SMTP server. I've tried changing smtp.example.com to tls://smtp.example.com but it then fails to connect at all ($errNo is 115, $errStr is Operation now in progress). If I connect and send starttls, I don't get any more data from the server and I've no idea what it's waiting for, be it a public key or whatever. FWIW, the email server's certificate is a dodgy, home made one which throws up a security error when tested with a mail client, but once accepted it is fine. Is there an easier way to do this? If not, how do I get the connection so I can get to and rcpt to: line and beyond? You may want to take a look at this popular SMTP client class. It supports TLS. The example demonstrates how to send message via Gmail, which requires TLS. http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass Anyway, I recommend that you use that class in conjunction with this other for composing and sending RFC compliant MIME message. It helps avoid problems that make message get trapped in spam filters: http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Re: php code to upload a url correctly
Hello, on 01/26/2007 12:10 PM Corden James (RW3) CMMC Manchester said the following: I have a form in which users submit a url. I am having problems as some people submit the url in the format http://www.blah.blah.org http://www.blah.blah.org/ while others submit in the format www.blah.blah.org http://www.blah.blah.org/ I have designed the form so that it seems fairly obvious (to me anyway) not to include the http:// but people are still doing it (presumably because they are copying and pasting from a browser). My form processing script is designed to add http:// to the submitted url and place the modified url in a database for future use. As you can imagine sometimes I end up with urls such as http://http://www.blah.blah.org http://http:/www.blah.blah.org in my database. Hence I need a more rigorous form processing script that is capable of first checking if the url includes http:// and then processes accordingly. Can anyone point me in the right direction for such a script? I use a solution for that a lot of times that consists on using regular expressions to fill eventually missing characters in the URL. I use a popular forms generation and validation class that allows me to replace string patterns. It works on client side with Javascript and also on server side with the class itself. When using this class, you do not need to know any Javascript. Just define how you want to replace the string value patterns. Here you may find a live example form that demonstrates that: http://www.meta-language.net/forms-examples.html?example=test_form See the test_form.php example form script to see how it works in action. http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration Oh, here you may find a tutorial video that explains all the features demonstrated by that example: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/1/video/1/section/example-form.html -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] REST, SOAP or XML-RPC?
I am developing a webservice like module for our framework that will enable downloads of module code into the framework modules from a remote server. Basically what this should do is: 1.

Re: [PHP] Who uses PHP
As has been said: It all depends on the developer. A skilled developer
is not restrained by how secure the particular language is. A
skilled developer will know the pitfalls of that language, and be able
to avoid them.
With php as an example, you have register_globals. Now,
register_globals is NOT a bad thing. However, due to incompetent
coders, it is one of the easiest exploits in many php applications. A
skilled developer is able to work unconditional of weather
register_globals is on on his/her server.

I totally agree.
You are not allowed to say 'Well, you're wrong. PHP is as secure as
anything else.' without explaining why.
Or, would you agree with the statement? Is there an 'XXX' that should
be used instead of PHP?
Of course not. As Zoltan stated above, security is dependent upon the
programmer and not the language. But, if you aren't familiar with why
PHP is considered so insecure its a result of people who can't/
don't know how to properly program PHP applications. PHP is an easy
programming language to learn quickly and hit the ground running.
These people (typically) don't care to check to make sure writing
something like:
mysql_query('SELECT * FROM admins WHERE username = '.$_GET
['username'].' and password = '.$_GET['password'].'');
is safe and secure. This is one of the bigger issues I've seen on
some PHP applications. As you will (or perhaps already have read) on
Chris S.'s site that a big thing to do in PHP apps is FIEO (Filter
Input Escape Output). Applications written in this manner are
insecure; PHP isn't what's insecure.
However, with my limited Computer Science training, FIEO is something
that should be done in any application under any programming language
- for security's sake.
So, rather than consider the difference in security of a programming
language versus another, you should be asking the question What does
PHP offer me that XXX doesn't?. Alternatively, if the person on the
other end is still too concerned about security, then you should be
considering How much easier is it for me to program secure
applications in PHP than XXX? If you do it right from the start,
you'll find that PHP does not make it difficult to write secure apps.
Given the limited number of options for maintaining state
information, I would be hard pressed to see how any language could be
inherently more security or why one could not write PHP code which
implemented the same techniques as 'XXX'.
(No, I do not know what 'XXX' might be.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Hi Paul, Why not use PEAR itself? The last chapter of my book (http://www.packtpub.com/book/PEAR-installer) is a step-by-step tutorial on designing just such a module that would allow downloads of module code from a remote server. It also includes all the code, which is publicly and freely available from the pear.chiaraquartet.net channel (package MyBlog). The code is a useful example of embedding the PEAR installer and of designing customized REST, but it might be tricky to understand the design methodology without the prose of the book. The question of how to do what you describe is something I have thought about a LOT because of the requirements of the PEAR Installer. One of the specific design choices in PEAR 1.4.0 and newer was to make it easy to embed PEAR to act as a plugin module. The chapter in question also examines other successful attempts to design remote plugin repositories including Serendipity's Spartacus and Seagull's use of the PEAR Installer to show other ways of implementing a plugin manager. One thing I found very interesting was that even though Spartacus is extremely lightweight, it was easy to design a much more sophisticated plugin manager using PEAR with the same number of lines of code. You need not use PEAR's actual installation process unless you find it convenient (I do - file transactions are a must-have if you want to be able to recover from botched downloads and so on). In any case, do check out the solution in the book, I'm sure it will solve the problem you describe quite elegantly.

But nothing I'm aware of exposes this to ?php ? code in any way,
other than http://php.net/include_once
If the files names are different, then __FILE__ can be used as an
identifier. But if a file was included by itself, then __FILE__ is the
same, tho there are 2 different includes of the same file.
Example:

?php

echo You are visiting here!;
$visited = true;
include(__FILE__);
}
else {
echo You have been already visiting here! (Bye);

If you want to avoid the overhead of include_once, it's a pretty
common practice (borrowed from C .h files) to do:
if (!defined('FILENAME')){
define('FILENAME', 1);

It is entirely up to YOU to make sure FILENAME is unique for your

Most of our code is designed in this way anyway, like we have 3 different WYSIWYG editor choices as well... I don't think you'll need FTP in PHP... Your client code can just download with fopen/fread, same as it already is doing the tar.gz files... You're more likely to be bitten by hosts turning off allow_url_fopen though. Oh yeah, forgot about that one! I believe REST is the most light-weight bandwidth of the REST/SOAP/RPC crowd... I believe so too.

Does anyone know what function I should use? preg_match?
The code would be something like
if(preg_match([16-30],$variable))
{
echo image;
}
but the above code doesn't work. How do I fix it?
Deja Vu!
?php
if (!preg_match('/^[0-9]+$/', $input)){
die(invalid input\n);
}
$input = (int) $input;
switch (true){
case $input 0: die(invalid input\n); break;
case $input = 15: echo image 1 to 15\n; break;
case $input = 30: echo image 16 to 30\n; break;
default: die(invalid input\n); break;
}
?
If this is homework, you'd better go hire a tutor NOW, because it
ain't gonna get any easier than this...

Re: [PHP] is there socket.so file?

For windows version, I need to enable socket extension (socket.dll) and my bot will be able to connect to an IRC server. But in linux version, it's unable to connect. So I wonder if there's a socket.so or something else to activate socket extension. And the question is, do I need socket extension in Linux? The answer is Yes but the rest of the answer depends on your version of PHP more than anything else... http://php.net/sockets lays that out rather nicely, actually.

Thank you, Richard -- I appreciate your advice. Here is a qualifier: I'm not putting any core code into tables, just code which generates page content. The access rights to that page content, as well as security code and application objects are not there. That code is off of the web path, called by functions. No SQL is in tables. So maybe I shouldn't have said security. With that in mind -- I would really appreciate it if would help me understand your comment or point me to a resource which will. I have read a bunch of stuff on security, but no resources led me to believe that I was on a wrong path, though none of them followed the path I am on. It isn't too late for me to change. The problem is that now instead of needing to protect your PHP files from arbitrary code execution attacks, you need to protect your PHP files *and* your database content, so you've just doubled the number of potential holes, roughly speaking. It doesn't matter if YOU put core code into your DB or not -- If somebody manages to break into your DB, they can put whatever code they want, and you're just going to execute it blindly. In terms of performance, running a query to get some PHP snippet and then using eval on it is probably not going to hold up under any kind of load... Or maybe it will -- Seems like eval should be expensive, but perhaps I'm just remembering what it cost in Lisp... -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?

RE: [PHP] Sending secure mail
IIRC the PEAR::Mail_Mime class also can handle it Respectfully, Ligaya Turmelle Systems Analyst Guamcell Communications Phone: (671)689-2377 -Original Message- From: Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 10:23 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Sending secure mail I need to send a large number of emails (not spam!) through an external SMTP server that requires TLS and a username/password. I have some control over the SMTP server but very little over the web server where the scripts reside. How do I connect with TLS, authenticate and send the mail? I had problems with mail() originally (one of the reasons why we now have a dedicated mail server) and I had to connect to the SMTP server by hand with sockets and go through the SMTP steps by hand. I can connect to the new server with following code. $sock = fsockopen( 'smtp.eg.com', 25, $errNo, $errStr ); However, when I send the rcpt to: line, I'm told I don't have access to the relay - i.e. I need to log in. This is where my knowledge of SMTP reaches it's limit but I've read about the auth login command, however, it says it needs to be run over an encrypted connection, i.e. TLS. I can't disable this on the server, other services need TLS to be on the SMTP server. I've tried changing smtp.example.com to tls://smtp.example.com but it then fails to connect at all ($errNo is 115, $errStr is Operation now in progress). If I connect and send starttls, I don't get any more data from the server and I've no idea what it's waiting for, be it a public key or whatever. FWIW, the email server's certificate is a dodgy, home made one which throws up a security error when tested with a mail client, but once accepted it is fine. Is there an easier way to do this? If not, how do I get the connection so I can get to and rcpt to: line and beyond?
