[PHP] URL data decoding problem
I'm working on a PayPal IPN module, and PayPal returns a lot of data in a GET call. The problem is that international characters entered by a user on the PayPal site gets encoded really weird, and I don't see an obvious way to decode them, can someone please assist? My website is running utf-8 all over. The URL contains this variable: memo=Pr%EF%BF%BDvar It should translate into memo=Prövar I've run out of ideas on this really.. PayPal say the reply is encoded in windows-1252. Thanks, Anders. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Well, that doesn't work here.. Also, according to docs, all $_GET variables are
already urldecoded when they're accessed in the script.
Nevertheless, urldecode doesn't give the result I was looking for. I've also
tried mb_convert_encoding, html_entity_decode and combinations all over...
And I can't see why there are THREE characters in the URL, the original is only
one 'ö'. If I simply do a echo urlencode('ö') it shows %C3%B6.

Re: [PHP] self in inherited methods
2009/4/19 Alex S Kurilo aka Kamazee m...@kamazee.name:
Is it right that 'self' in inherited method still points to the parent?
If it is, can you explain it? It makes me worry :)
A piece of code below for example
?php
class MyParent {
const NAME = 'MyParent';
public function get_instance() {
return new self;
}
public function get_another_instance() {
$class_name = get_class($this);
return new $class_name;
}
public function get_name() {
return self::NAME;
}
}
class MyClass extends MyParent {
const NAME = 'MyClass';
}
$a = new MyClass;
$b = $a-get_instance();
$c = $a-get_another_instance();
echo $a-get_name(),\n;
echo get_class($b),\n;
echo get_class($c),\n;
?
Up until 5.3 this was just the way it was. It has been fixed in 5.3.

Re: [PHP] Creating A Chat?
Hi Stuart, Indeed, in order to create a chat, you need to be able to push messages from the server to the browser. There are several techniques in order to do that. One is the long polling technique (or Reverse Ajax). It requires a lot of Javascript. The other is going through a Flash server. In both cases, it is quite time consuming to implement correctly those, especially for all browsers. I would advice you to use existing libraries or services in order to implement your chat. Here are 2 solutions: You can try Xaja (http://www.thecodingmachine.com/ext/xaja). This is an open-source Reverse Ajax framework. Or you can use Apideo (http://www.apideo.com). This is service including a Javascript library that can be used to send events across browsers. The service is free for non commercial use. Disclaimer: I've been involved in both project, so this is not a definitive list. There might be other projects allowing you to do so. Regards, David.

Re: [PHP] Check whether a page is Google Cached

Hi, everyone,
I want to write a small PHP script test.php that can determine whether a
webpage is Google Cached.
Assuming it is uploaded to www.mysite.com, and I want to use it to check
whether www.yoursite.com is google cached.
It works as follows:
The user input the query:
http://www.mysite.com/test.php?site=www.yoursite.com
The php script will send the following request to the browser
http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.yoursite.com
in the background.
And if the returned result contains a string This is Google's cache of,
then the page is cached, so the php script can display
Your site is cached by Google
otherwise, it will say
Your site is not cached by Google
Just wonder how to implement such a feature, can anyone write a simple
sample so that I can use as a startpoint as I am a totally new guy in PHP
coding
You've already laid out most of what needs to be done. I think the
file_get_contents() function will be your best friend here, provided
allow_url_fopen has been set to TRUE in your PHP configuration. Take
the result you get back from that function and parse the 2nd line for
This is Google#39;s cache of (I have made this assumption by
looking at the source of
http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.php.net).
example.php
===
?php
$url = $_GET['url'];
$res = file_get_contents('http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:' . $url);
if($res strstr('This is Google#39;s cache of ', $res))
echo 'Your page is cached.';
else
echo 'Your page is not cached.';
?
UNTESTED. Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] Creating A Chat?
Here is a quick explanation of what is going on behind the scene: When a client loads the HTML page, a Javascript function is triggered. This function performs an Ajax call to the server. In the case of Stuart, I think he wrote a small fastCgi script that does trap this call (instead of forwarding the call to PHP I Guess). The server does not respond directly. Instead, it does not respond directly, but it keeps the connection to the browser open. When someone else types something in the form, an Ajax call is performed to the server. The fastcgi script receives this message, and sends the message on all the open connections. This technique is known as Comet. You can find a more detailed explanation here: http://meteorserver.org/interaction-modes/ If you want to do the same, there are several options: 1- You do it yourself, like Stuart did. Believe me, this is painful, especially when you want compatibility with old browsers like IE 6, since this involves a lot of Javascript 2- You use a Javascript framework + a light server: Orbited (http://orbited.org) and Meteor-server (http://meteorserver.org) can help you do such a thing. You can also google for the Bayeux protocol that is a standardised implementation of Comet. I think Dojo (http://www.dojotoolkit.org) implements it (not sure though) 3- You use a server side framework that will write Javascript for you. There are several such frameworks in Java. In PHP, the only one I am aware of is Xaja (http://www.thecodingmachine.com/ext/xaja) 4- You decide to use Flash instead, or a framework that use Flash underneath (http://www.apideo.com) 5- You wait for HTML 5 that might, someday (2012?), provide a direct way to do this ;) Regards, David.

Most solutions I've seen so far are pretty heavy-weight server-side, whereas for a lot of applications it's far more than is necessary. The lightweight options out there, orbited included, usually rely on some kind of runtime (python in the case of orbited) which gives them a fairly large footprint per connected user. In the interests of scalability the server-side of pnotes.org is tiny and in using FastCGI it can hang off any web server that supports it. I wouldn't recommend Apache but both lighttpd and nginx work very well. As a consequence of that goal it's pretty limited in what it can do, but was designed in such a way that a fair number of use cases can be implemented. -Stuart On Tue, 21 Apr 2009 10:42:54 -0400, tedd tedd.sperl...@gmail.com wrote: At 3:27 PM +0100 4/21/09, Stuart wrote: 2009/4/21 tedd tedd.sperl...@gmail.com: That's about it, isn't it?

Re: [PHP] Creating A Chat?
Hi Tedd, This is where there is a need for some magic. In the case of Stuart, he wrote a fastcgi script. Basiacally, this handles the Ajax calls. Each call uses long polling: the server is not responding directly. Instead, it keeps the connection open to the fast-cgi script. In order to know how many users are online, you just have to count how many connections are open to the fastcgi script. Then, since the connections are open, still waiting for a reply, the fastcgi script just forwards the message it receives on all open connections. This message is parsed by the Javascript script on the client side, and the Javascript script on the client side adds the message on the screen. There are other ways to do this. I've been doing this in a pure PHP way with Xaja (without the need of using fastcgi, with just PHP and Apache). There is an explanation going on here: http://www.thecodingmachine.com/ext/xaja/doc/about/architecture.html Maybe it will make things more clear. Regards, David.

For example, if you have four people connected to the server at the same time and one sends something, then how do you forward that to each person so that their screen refreshes accordingly? There are a number of ways to approach this. In essence all Comet does is move that problem from the client to the server which opens up a whole cupboard full of options. The best options is probably something like pub-sub in XMPP. In this scenario each connected user subscribes to another end point within the XMPP network, which basically means it will receive any messages that end point sends. The end point in the case of chat would be a central phantom user who in turn subscribes to everyone else. Beyond that you have traditional polling of some resource (database, files, etc) or any other mechanism for finding new stuff to send to the client. The client makes the AJAX request and the server holds on to it doing nothing for up to n seconds (in phones case it's 55 seconds). If nothing has been received by then it simply returns an empty response. When something does arrive to be sent the server sends the response and the connection closes. The client then deals with the data it's just received and then starts another connection. Hence the name, long polling. I've had a response from my client and he's happy to open source the whole thing but it needs a bit of work before it's ready for that so it may be a little while before I have something, but I'll be sure to post a link here and on my blog when it's released. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Creating A Chat?
Yes, indeed, the Apache footprint is quite large. Furthermore, with Xaja design, I'm starting 2 processes per connected user. Basically, it requires about 10Mo / user, so the footprint is really bigger than what you are having with pnotes. Currently, it scales quite well up to 100 users (I've never been testing further). The whole interest with Xaja in my opinion is that you can do some Reverse Ajax and Comet stuff without writing a single line of Javascript. And since it uses only Apache and PHP, it's cross-platform. I'll keep an eye on pnotes too, if you plan to keep evolving it. There is only a demo on the web site right now. Do you plan to release it some day? David. On Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:25:29 +0100, Stuart stut...@gmail.com wrote: 2009/4/21 David Négrier d.negr...@thecodingmachine.com: There are other ways to do this.

Your code is relying on register_globals which is bad and seems to be
enabled on your local server but not on your hosting server. Use the
$_POST superglobal array:

Re: [PHP] self in inherited methods
Is it right that 'self' in inherited method still points to the parent? If it is, can you explain it? It makes me worry :) Up until 5.3 this was just the way it was. It has been fixed in 5.3.

Re: [PHP] escape your variables
2009/4/21 Chris dmag...@gmail.com:
How does one deal with that? Do you use mysql_real_escape_string?
e.g.
?php
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'auser';
$db_pwd = 'apassword';
$database = 'adatabase';
$table = 'authorBook';
if (!mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd))
die(Can't connect to database);
if (!mysql_select_db($database))
die(Can't select database);
// sending query
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM {$table});
Inputs are user supplied.
Are you saying that I don't need to sanitize the variables above -
$db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd, $database, $table ?
No - they are essentially hardcoded.
A user (through a form or any other method) cannot change which db you are
talking to. They cannot change the hostname either.
If a variable comes from:
- a post variable
- a get variable
- a session variable
- a cookie
- an environment variable
then it will need to be escaped sanitized.
If you are putting the variable at the top of the script and there's no way
for a user to change it, then no need to sanitize.
I would love to see an example somewhere that shows an unsanitized
variable and the same variable sanitized.
Sanitizing depends on what you need.
An age field doesn't need anything except a number.
A name field should accept everything except html tags.
They are going to be sanitized differently.
$name = $_POST['name']; -- unsanitized
$name = strip_tags($name); -- sanitized.
Sorry to disturb, but you should never assume a string is sanitized
when you've applied the function strip_tags.
That function *only* removes complete HTML-Markup. It *ignores*
invalid HTML, unlike 99% of the browsers do. So, a site using
strip_tags only to sanatize user_input is vulnerable to XSS!
The second thing I'd like to mention is that you're mixing DB-escaping
and output escaping for the browser, but both require different
escaping.
A name field should accept everything except html tags.
What the hell?
Don't believe charsets only include [-a-Z0-9']. You might want to
remove conrol characters as well as some other, printable characters.
Or have you ever known a person called
* 1234?
* )(/)(%(%)()($#432+4
* ' OR 1=1/*
* and so on.
Greetings
=
Better:
myql_query(INSERT INTO foo (`name`) VALUES ('.
mysql_real_escape_string($name, $link) .'));
This is better because we escape it in the sql statement itself.
$name remains unchanged in case we want to use it later.
Best:
Use prepared statements!
=
What is meant by prepared stetements? Does that mean not using variables?
It's a different way of putting the query together. Data can only mean one
thing - data. There's no escaping, the db will always know what it's going
to do.

Knowing the first site where this would go for field trials, I suspect most recipients are using some version of Microsoft Outlook. But other sites down the road are likely to have different clients.

[PHP] collation
I am getting some weird results on some pages output to browser. Many of the listings on the site are in different languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Portugese, Swedish and Italian) - Some author's names are in those languages and some comments or reviews as well. That means that some of the characters have those weird accents on them. The problem I am encountering is this - the same browser displays some pages differently even if the db is the same for the data on all pages. What is not clear to me is why a page would display the whole text including the eacute; type of stuff and other pages show the character. How could this be fixed? Does the collation have anything to do with this. My tables are all InnoDB with Collation as latin1_swedish_ci. Should this be changed to utf8 ? phpMyAdmin shows in the structure display of the database at the bottom of the list of tables that there are 7 tables, Sum, 529 (Records), MyISAM (Type), latin1_swedish_ci (Collation) Why does the summary show MyISAM when all the tables are shown as type InnoDB?

Patrick Moloney wrote: Some months ago I downloaded and installed Apache, PHP and MySql. With only light use they seem to be working. I have downloaded a Test Script from the VBulletin vendor that is supposed to determine if your setup could run their product. The Test Script is php and appears as a form that allows you to enter a Mysql database name, user and password. I fill it in and select the button. The large blue window remains but the entry boxes and a border disappear. It hasn't totally crashed and can be closed - but it has stopped. I've tried their help forum, but they keep telling me to create an empty database. Maybe the problem has something to do with Mysql, but for a test script, I'm getting zero feedback. I have an empty database and one with a couple of tables. I don't see a problem with Mysql. So, how does one begin to debug this php test script to see what's failing? I'm kind of new to php. Thanks all for the help. I fixed my problem. I thought I would save some time running the vendor's test script, but wound up spending most of the day on this. Not very proficient in PHP, but I learned an odd variety of things. Problem was I had PHP and Mysql installed and working, but not together. The PHP for Windows 5.2 no longer automatically installs Mysql. Actually have to go back to Windows Control Panel where it will let you change the install. It then installs the dlls and modifies php.ini -- which I had already done. Difficulty was because the vendor test script has errors disabled - maybe ok in a test script -- unless you don't handle the errors! This took longer than installing Apache, PHP and MySql in the first place.

[PHP] Best way to deal with $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] on IIS?

You've already laid out most of what needs to be done. I think the

allow_url_fopen has been set to TRUE in your PHP configuration. Take
the result you get back from that function and parse the 2nd line for

The PHP code for sending the mail is essentially: $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . \r\n; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . \r\n; $headers .= 'From: Some From Name somefromname.com'; $to = 'mybellsouthaddress.net'; $subject = 'Some Subject'; $msg = 'Some Message'; if(mail($to,$subject,$msg.\r\n\r\n,$headers)) echo good; else echo bad; In the actual PHP script the $to, $subject, and $msg are successfully passed to the script from the client side as $_POST, $_POST and $_FILES parameters respectively. I have just filled them in above so that they can be seen as if they were part of the script. The script always returns good, so the mail function must be successful. In my project, testing has reported that any attempt to use the 'mail' function on the server to send to an ATT address fails to reach the recipient, while all other addresses used in the testing succeed in reaching the recipient. I can assert this to be the case with my own ATT address also. I have also checked my ATT mailbox online to make sure the mail is not being received as Spam. Does anybody have an idea why using the 'mail' function succeeds with all but ATT $to addresses ? Naturally in the client-server application on which I am working, sending mail from the server must work for all $to addresses. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[snip] I don't know much about active directory but I thought one of the points of AD was to eliminate the need for a user to log in since they are already authenticated by the centralized AD system. Thanks Micheal for helping me clarify the situation, I appreciate your expertise... and sorry for the delay in replying, it has been a busy week so far! smile I am usings AD, as mentioned and as you probably inferred, so I don't have to sync credentials on my system with the 500± users in the AD... (i.e., when someone leaves the company, new hires, password changes, etc, etc) If you want to use active directory as the only user authentication method then as long as the browser sends the credentials it will verify and the user is logged in. Yep, that is it - not forgetting that users may use the intranet site from the company internet site on PCs not logged on to the network... You could probably use password _in addition to_ active directory to authenticate a php session, allowing you increased security over just a session token (IE browser has to send valid php session AND active directory credentials) but if you want a user to have to login in addition to active directory credentials, use php sessions on your server, and upon succesful login w/ proper AD credentials set a session variable that says they are authenticated. OK, that is where I am at now... glad to see I am following 'standard procedure' grin When they log out, unset the session variable that says they are logged in and expire the session. Then regardless of their AD credentials, they will have to log in again to be verified by the session system. Now HERE is where I think I have having the issues... I can use PHP to log them off my site, server side, and hence demand to see their AD credentials again... BUT from my reading and understanding, the browser is caching this info - and so when it sees the request for AD credentials it says oh, I have those from a few minutes ago, here you go... (i.e., the same browser session on the clients side if they haven't closed their browser in the meantime...), thereby relogging them on server side - but I SSL doesn't do anything magic as far as user authentication is concerned, it simply provides a public/private key encryption so that (theoretically) only the browser can decrypt what the server sends and only the server can decrypt what the browser sends. That distinction is useful to know / be reminded about, thank you - since IIS integrates SSL and AD transparently to me as a non-IT-admin person, I guess I was not making that distinction clearly enough... So (assuming I have this right) is there a way to have PHP clear the user's browser cache of the appropiate AD credentials if the user is in the same browser session and then move to, say, www.google.com?

[PHP] Suggestions of some good, simple file upload 'in progress' code?
Hello,
Can someone pass on some suggestions of some good, simple file upload 'in
progress' code?
Maybe as simple as changing the cursor icon for the duration?
I have am HTML form that gathers some data and allows for a file upload of
up to 80Mb (on a secure site, and limited to *.zip files) - all works well,
pretty simple stuff... smile
...
input type=file name=new_module_zip_file id=file size=50/
...
{uses array_key_exists, various checks to make sure a file is selected,
has a ZIP extension, etc)
...
//store the $_FILES 'final' file name in a variable for later use...
$_SESSION['final_uploaded_zip_file_name'] =
$_FILES['new_module_zip_file']['name'];
//DRAFT @ 04/06/09 -- change cursor icon whilst the file is
uploading and/or use a progress bar
//save the temp file that $_FILES creates to it's upload home,
ready for the site manager to process
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['new_module_zip_file']['tmp_name'],$default_upload_directory.$_SESSION['final_uploaded_zip_file_name']);
...
The user can look in the the lower left, say, to see they upload progress
(sic) that is part of the browser.
BUT it would be nice to have some page specific visual prompt for the user,
depending on their connection 80Mbs might take a while! grin As
mentioned, even something as simple as changing the cursor to an hourglass
for the duration might help...
I have found a few examples of upload meters, but was looking for something
simpler - and, to be frank, something more within the grasp of my current
PHP coding abilities (or lack thereof!)
*Thanks in advance*:

I see that Shawn's suggested radio buttons will do just fine. I hadn't
thought about that. Dummy me.
But the real problem I have is to pass a form input value to a variable.
For example:
input type=text name=titleIN size=52 /
input type=radio name=choice value=$titleIN /
How can I pass the text input to a variable that could be used by the
radio button?
The idea is to have several inputs for a search page with the inputs
limited by the radio button to one choice of several inputs. If I can
get the input to a variable, I can then manipulate it to do a query for
the search. :-\
Hope this is understandable?
