WTF? 1) If your quad-core machine grinds to a halt due to runaway Javascript code then there's something very wrong with the way it's configured. 2) You said yourself that the browser suspends the script and asks you if you want it to continue thereby protecting you from stupid developers and rendering resource-hungry scripts pointless. 3) It's extremely rare for me to come across a site that will cause that box to appear these days. Dunno what sites you're visiting but you might want to consider avoiding them in future. 4) None of this is a security risk, it's just annoying as are a lot of websites both with and without Javascript.

I do not know, what this urchinTacker() does, but since it is named "Tracker", I asume it is a tool, which collect infos about Websiteusers. A thing I do not like since it is violation of my privacy. Violation of privacy? Let's start with the fact that it's not collecting anything you don't put out there when you use your browser. Let's add that none of that info can personally identify you without consulting your ISP who are highly unlikely to disclose who you are without a court order. Now let's consider that the original conversation in this thread has nothing to do with privacy. I have no problem whatsoever if you want to block Javascript, but please do it properly or at least don't complain about errors if you only partly block it. That, and only that, was my point. to the urchinTracker function can run then so can the script tag to pull in that code is pretty reasonable. In fact I make it all the time in the code I write and I think the same would go for 99.999% of developers using Javascript. Ehm you mean, that I am one of those 0.001%? Hmmm, I do not know a singel JavaScript Developer here in Strasbourg who use it... Whoa there nellie, I stated that I assume that if part A of my Javascript runs then part B will also run. I said nothing about always using Urchin or anything of the sort. Urchin Tracker is a simple(!) analytics package and poses no danger to you or your computer. In fact I would suggest it's anti-productive to block it since it prevents the sites you visit from using the data it provides to modify their site to make the experience better for you. So collecting privacy infos about me? -- No thanks! Again, if you want to block it I have no problem with that. I think you're overly cautious but it's entirely your choice. Google Analytics (which is where the Urchin code comes from) does gather a tiny bit more information than normal server logs but none of it is personally identifiable or in any way a security risk. But just to state it again, I couldn't care less if you blocked it. That error is caused by your use of selective Javascript-blocking technology, and while I work very hard to ensure the sites I develop work as well as possible without Javascript I think it's unreasonable to expect them to work with selective blocking. Selective because urchinTacker() tracker is collecting infos about me which I do not want to give out! -- Privacy violation! If you use such tools, you have to warn users of your website, that you are collecting data otherwise you could be run into trouble... Not really. You are giving out that information whether you like it or not because that's the way your browser works. If you want to be really anal about it you can get browser addons and proxies that will strip most of that info out, but again I really don't see what you're afraid of.

Re: [PHP] page suck attack
Can you check your logs and look at the user agent for what's making the connections? Could it just be a search engine crawler indexing your pages? You can control access, usually, via a robots.txt exclusion file. If it's someone else mirroring your site for some reason, some programs that do this will obey robots.txt settings. If it's happening a lot and degrading the performance of your web server, then it may be a DOS (denial of service) attack.

RE: [PHP] php mysql live feed
Todd
I want to thank you. You sent me thinking in the right direction to resolving
this issue. I now have successfully created a live Pika Card status GUI using
PHP, MYSQL, AJAX.
The key word in what you said was unique function. I was not thinking to write
a function. I was looking for the quick solve (php MySQL loop or something
stupid). Not only does this work flawless but it has surpassed all my
expectations of the gui.
Todd thank you again for your suggestions and you helped me allot.
Nameless,
I see someone mentioned the setTimeout(function, milliseconds) function for
JavaScript. I would also like to point out that you can use
setInterval(function, milliseconds) in order to have an event repeat at a set
interval. For instance, let's say you had a page laid out like so:
---
Text here
---
You would want to add a script somewhere that would begin the interval in order
to update the div:
---
function ajaxRequest()
{
//
document.getElementById("blah").innerHTML = ajax.responseText;
}
var t = setInterval("ajaxRequest()", 5000);
---
This assumes that your XmlHttpRequest object is named "ajax". Assigning the
interval to variable "t" ensures that you can clear the interval if you need to
(via "clearInterval(t);").
I suppose "innerText" can be used instead of "innerHTML", as well. I would
recommend using innerHTML only if you will be populating the div with HTML
code, however.
Hope this helps,

RE: [PHP] php mysql live feed
Nameless,
I see someone mentioned the setTimeout(function, milliseconds) function for
JavaScript. I would also like to point out that you can use
setInterval(function, milliseconds) in order to have an event repeat at a set
interval. For instance, let's say you had a page laid out like so:
---
Text here
---
You would want to add a script somewhere that would begin the interval in order
to update the div:
---
function ajaxRequest()
{
//
document.getElementById("blah").innerHTML = ajax.responseText;
}
var t = setInterval("ajaxRequest()", 5000);
---

My code was fine upon injecting my data into its database. However, I run strip_tags again upon extracting the data, so of course that caused problems. I solved this by entering the data with newlines instead of tags, so only when displaying the data do I run nl2br() after running strip_tags. Now everything works fine. Sorry for the noise everyone.

Are you sure there are newlines before you run strip_tags? It doesn't
touch newlines because they aren't html entities.
$ cat eg.php
here is a bold tag\nLink to example.com\n\n";
echo "Strip tags only:\n";
echo strip_tags($string) . "\n";
echo str_repeat('-', 10) . "\n";
echo "Strip tags & nl2br:\n";
echo nl2br(strip_tags($string)) . "\n";
