I have a paypal account setup and am going to upgrade to the virtual terminal, however the client would like to collect the credit card details as security (he is a hotelier) Is it possible to securely send these details via the internet or should I suggest he just gets them to phone them through? You need to use an encrypted link, like SSL. But there are almost certainly safer ways to accomplish your goals than handling credit cards yourself. The fact that you ask this question suggests that you and your client might have not thoroughly thought through the implications. Generally, it is a really, really BAD idea to store credit card information (on systems, on paper slips, on post-it notes). One little oversight, one little compromise, and all of a sudden you have potentially 1000s of YOUR CUSTOMER'S credit cards leaked into who knows who's hands. Assuming you're lucky enough to know that it has happened at all, you will then be faced with cleaning the whole mess up. Irrepairable damage will have been done to your, and your client's reputations. The legal ramifications are staggering. Make sure you get a signed release from liability from your client so he can't come after you if he gets sued. If you consider the implications and decide to go forward anyway, I suggest you read a LOT about internet security. http://phpsec.org/library/ is a great place to start with regards to the PHP aspects of this. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Address validation API's for PHP

I am looking for an address validation database and API to use with our retail applications (does not have to be free). I would prefer to be able to buy data according to postal code. I will likely use AJAX to take an address that is input into the system and find a similar or better address and then offer the user the opportunity to use the returned address or the one that they put into the system.

[PHP] Need a more elegant way of bitwise ORing values
Hi all,
Can anyone think of a more elegant way of achieving the following?
?php
$flags = array();
if ($allow_fraction)
{
$flags[] = FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_FRACTION;
}
if ($allow_thousand)
{
$flags[] = FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND;
}
if ($allow_scientific)
{
$flags[] = FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_SCIENTIFIC;
}
if (count($flags) 0)
{
$c = '$c = ' . implode('|', $flags) . ';';
eval($c);
$filter['flags'] = $c;
}
?
The code checks for 3 booleans ($allow_fraction, etc) and if true it
adds the const to the $flags array. At the end each value in the array
is joined together into a string (the implode part), which would give
something like: 4096|8192 - but I then need to return the actual value
from this operation, so I'm eval'ing it.
I don't like using eval, so can anyone think of a better way to do
this? All I need as an end result if the product of the bitwise
operation (i.e. an integer) stored in $filter['flags']
Cheers,
Rich

setting 1 value ($filter['flags']) at the end of each function, so
using the above technique will work for my requirements. Thank you

And I can tell you that the post office does not sell any addresses to private individuals. For the mailings we do where we need to get a list we have to go to a third party to get the list. The stuff you're looking at is probably the CASS software, or maybe Delivery Point Validation. Both of which you run on your current mailing list to make sure you qualify for the cheaper postage rates. I can also tell you that the CASS software costs about $1,000 a year for access to match your addresses against the database. :) But I don't think it really does what you are looking for. You may want to look into a third party place like InfoUSA[1] since they sell the addresses (We use them sometimes in fact) they may be able to do what you are looking for.

Personally I hate constants (can't use non-scalar values so why get used
ot them... also they're just another point for name collision) so if it
were my own code I'd do something more like the following:
?php
$GLOBALS['filterFlags'] = array
(
'allowFraction' = 1 0,
'allowThousand' = 1 1,
'allowScientific' = 1 2,
);
// then your above code would become:
$filter['flags'] = 0;
foreach( $filterFlags as $name = $bits )
{
if( isset( $$name ) $$name )
{
$filter['flags'] |= $bits;
}
}
?

I'm more interested in the software development side (as opposed to server configuration) of things. I'm looking for anything that would be good to know when working on websites that get millions of hits a day. Also, if anyone knows of any resources/discussions that illustrate the relative performance of joins vs multiple selects I'd love to check it out. JOIN will almost always be faster by virtue of the query being optimized and doing the work within a single request. JOIN couples two table together. JOIN simplifies the data retrieval and code. MULTIPLE SELECTS allows you to join the data yourself, possibly almost as fast as the database. MULTIPLE SELECTS allows the tables to reside in different locations. MULTIPLE SELECTS can be faster than a JOIN if your database is under heavy load and you place the tables on different servers allowing the PHP process to do the joining work. PHP processes scale horizontally better than database servers. MULTIPLE SELECTS are usually add complexity to your code.

[PHP] Is this code thread safe?
I'm pretty sure this code is thread safe, but I just want to be 100% sure. I have a class called ViewHelper with a static function called is_signed_in. All it does is check the session for the existence of a particular variable, and if it's there, it returns true, otherwise false. Since the function is static, is there any way this code is not thread safe? Is there any way I could be checking someone else's session if the requests are concurrent? Thanks, Christian

However, if a file is not there, then I can create one. However, the permissions of the file will be automagically set to 0600 and as such, I can't change them via ftpconnect(). In other words, I can't FTP in to my site and change the permissions of a file I created. I can delete the file, but that's all. How do you guys create a file and set its permissions working on a virtual host via php? Cheers, tedd PS: If I remember correctly, it was pretty easy in perl.

On Wed, June 13, 2007 10:52 am, Christian Cantrell wrote:
I'm pretty sure this code is thread safe, but I just want to be 100%

I have a class called ViewHelper with a static function called
is_signed_in.
All it does is check the session for the existence of a particular
variable, and if it's there, it returns true, otherwise false.
Since the function is static, is there any way this code is not thread
safe?
Is there any way I could be checking someone else's session if the
requests
are concurrent?
Well, I'm not sure how your ViewHelper could possibly screw things up,
but the $_SESSION variable is already thread-safe, unless you've
hacked up a custom session handler that isn't thread-safe... In which
case you've got bigger problems than just this one function. :-v
$_SESSION gets a lock on the session data file at session_start which
is not released until session_*close
So instead off all that OOP stuff, if you just did:
if (isset($_SESSION['is_logged_in'])){
}
and used unset($_SESSION['is_logged_in']) to log somebody out, well,
you'd pretty much have the same functionality in a lot less lines of
code...
But, hey, I'm sure the ViewHelper has a lot of other Added Value, right?

I'm certain this is faster in the average case but I wanted to know which is generally faster in case I later profile the code and see that in some cases the dependent item is pretty much always loaded. JOIN couples two table together. JOIN simplifies the data retrieval and code. MULTIPLE SELECTS allows you to join the data yourself, possibly almost as fast as the database. MULTIPLE SELECTS allows the tables to reside in different locations. MULTIPLE SELECTS can be faster than a JOIN if your database is under heavy load and you place the tables on different servers allowing the PHP process to do the joining work. PHP processes scale horizontally better than database servers. The db will be under heavy load (once we deploy) but we don't yet intend on distributing the database. We did however plan for it since in the scenario I described above we just need to create a different db connection for a different table. We could theoretically have as many different db servers as tables (except for that one join of 2 tables). MULTIPLE SELECTS are usually add complexity to your code. We dealt with this in our design.. The actual front-end functionality is all simply object-oriented programming so I can muck around as much as I want with the ORM layer without affecting any of anyone else's code.

[PHP] IF with multiple values for a variable
Okay, I know this has got to be easy but it's not working any way I try it.
When a record is selected it opens up a new page. My query will display the
specific results based on the type of record selected. There can be
multiple values in each if. However I am having a brain fart in my if
statement assigning the multiple values.
Here is my if statement:
if ($type == 'T','D','L' {
$get_id.= payment_request WHERE id = '$payment_id';
}
However this does not return ant results.
I've tried if ($type = array('T','D','L'), if ($type == array('T','D','L'),
if ($type == 'T,D,L'), if ($type == 'T' or 'D' or 'L'
I also looked in the PHP manual for examples of if's and didn't find any
help.
I can get it to work if I create a seperate if statement for each type
condition but i would prefer to not duplicate my code just to add a seperate
$type

Re: [PHP] IF with multiple values for a variable
Could try something like this:
$types = array('T', 'D', 'L');
if (in_array($type, $types)) {
// do something
}
But that's going to just check to see if $type is one of the valid types you're
looking for.
You might try something like switch.
switch ($type) {
case 'T':
// Output 'T' record type
break;
case 'D':
// Output 'D' record type
break;
case 'L':
// Output 'L' record type
break;
default:
break;
}
switch works really well when you have multiple if scenarios and don't want
to keep doing a ton of if.. elseif... elseif...elseif... for simple
comparisons.
You can even use it for more complicated comparisons:
switch (true) {
case $type == 'T':
break;
case $type == 'D' and $flavor 'grape':
break;
default;
break;
}
the default section is what's processed if no critera are met.
Also, if you want to use the same criteria for multiple conditions, or slight
variations, you can do that by removing 'break' codes:
switch ($type) {
case 'T':
case 'D':
// Do something if $type is either T or D
break;
case 'L':
// Do something L specific
case 'R':
// Do something if $type is L or R (passes through from L condition because
break was removed)
break;
default:
break;
}

multiple values in each if. However I am having a brain fart in my if
statement assigning the multiple values.
Here is my if statement:
if ($type == 'T','D','L'
$get_id.= payment_request WHERE id = '$payment_id';
However this does not return ant results.
I've tried if ($type = array('T','D','L'), if ($type ==
array('T','D','L'),
if ($type == 'T,D,L'), if ($type == 'T' or 'D' or 'L'
I also looked in the PHP manual for examples of if's and didn't find any
help.
I can get it to work if I create a seperate if statement for each type
condition but i would prefer to not duplicate my code just to add a
seperate
$type
Dan,
Are you trying to do this?
?
if ($type == 'T' || $type == 'D' || $type == 'L')
$get_id.= payment_request WHERE id = '$payment_id';
?

[PHP] Re: create file permission problem
Doesn't ftp_chmod() work immediately after creating your file, while the resource is still open? Check the permissions for the directory. Check the file and dir permissions with your ftp utility [e.g., WinSCP]. Or, write a simple script that echoes them. It really should work, I do it frequently. tedd wrote: Hi Gang: I'm sure this is obvious to most, but not to me. I working on a virtual host. If I want to save data in a file, I can ftpconnect(); change the permissions of an existing file from 0755 to 0777; write to the file; and change the permissions of the file back to 0755 -- no problem. However, if a file is not there, then I can create one. However, the permissions of the file will be automagically set to 0600 and as such, I can't change them via ftpconnect(). In other words, I can't FTP in to my site and change the permissions of a file I created. I can delete the file, but that's all. How do you guys create a file and set its permissions working on a virtual host via php? Cheers, tedd PS: If I remember correctly, it was pretty easy in perl. Just try to open/write a file and if it wasn't there, it created one for you.

It was always my understanding that the raw connection to the SMTP server initiated by the PHP mail() functions and Sendmail required the \r\n separator for every field other than SUBJECT (included in the DATA part of the message body). And it's my opinion, of course, but any SPAM filter that would require a reply-to header is done in bad form. It should certainly require X-Mailer, but what good is a spoof-able reply-to header if the from header is already in place, real or unreal? -- Daniel P.
