Re: [PHP] hiding passwd in cmdlines that appear in the process list
Hi !.
I don't know if my solution is better or not. but in one of my programs i
had to make a backup online then my solution was to use shell vars to put
important information like db_password . When we use putenv function those
var only exists on the current shell and on its subshells. In your case the
following code :
?php
putenv(DBNAME=.DB_NAME);
putenv(DBUSER=.DB_USER);
putenv(DBPASSWD=.DB_PASSWD);
system('mysql -h localhost --user=$DBUSER --password=$DBPASSWD -D $DBNAME

Or, perhaps, write a shell script that reads the password and provides
it to MySQL somehow without invoking another exec of some kind.
You also could look into other MySQL authentication mechanisms such as
SSL keys and whatnot -- which I only vaguely recall seeing somewhere
in the MySQL docs.
That might still end up with a PHP/world readable file that has a
private key in it, but at least it requires the Bad Guy to take one
more step to read said file.

the security issue occurs due to the fact that the process list (this

which in
my case would look something like (in the processlist):
mysql -h localhost --user=admin --password=`cat
/my/sql/root/passwd/file` -D somedb /my/import/script.sql 21
AH I hear you say but the wily use of `cat /my/sql/root/passwd/file`
masks the actual
password from any looking in the process list. indeed undeer normal
shell scripting circumstances
that may have been true.
BUT in using php's exec() to run the cmdline causes the following to
show up in the processlist:
sh -c mysql -h localhost --user=admin --password=`cat
/my/sql/root/passwd/file` -D somedb /my/import/script.sql 21
AND that [sub]shell then lists it's process[s] in the list also, there
is only one
and it is this:
mysql -h localhost --user=admin --password=MYFINGPWD -D somedb
does anyone have an idea how to over come this security issue (without
resorting to having to
type in the mysql admin passwd interactively!)

This solution, as most good ones, has pros and cons:
Pro:
Does keep the password from being exposed in the normal course of
operations.
Con:
This is not triue because a shell vars declered on a shell is only exposed
to its subshells, that means that only exec's and system functions calls
into the php itself resive those vars declared into the php !
You can see this argument in the following code
?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo OLD pre;
system(env);
echo /pre;
putenv(DBNAME=sidf);
putenv(DBUSER=p);
putenv(DBPASSWD=p);
echo NEW pre;
system(env);
echo /pre;
?
and reloading these a couple of times.
A simple debug statement to dump out all of ENV / $_GLOBALS will
expose the password.
So you have to ask yourself if you and all your employees and all the
scripts you ever install, including any forums etc, are for sure never
ever going to dump that password out in an attempt to debug something
else.
For a solo developer or even a small team, with all custom hand-coded
stuff, this is pretty easy. But once your application blows up and
you have a larger team, or you start caving in to client demands to
install badly-written forums/carts/blogware, you are open to a
potential security hole which:
has two seemingly unrelated contributing causes
the two causes can be years apart in time
both are simple straight-forward obvious Right Things to do
So you have to weigh carefully the Risks, and DOCUMENT what you did
and DOCUMENT what *not* to do in the future to expose this sensitive
data.

Hi.
It is not possible to do that using PHP but you can use JavaScript
instead. I recommend the function focus(). For example:
BODY OnLoad=document.nameform.user.focus();
Check this tiny tutorial:

Did you already remarked that http://www.google.com is using this
function to automatically set the focus on the search field.

To have on screen e.g. 40 ppi or 80 ppi when the image has a size of 400x400 pixel you would have to read out the image how big a pixel in it is. at 80 ppi you would have your normal image and on 40 ppi the pixels used per dot would be duplicated. you still have 400 pixel in width and you would not be able to count the pixels who got duplicated. If you are lucky it's written in the file. Otherwise no chance. The normal screen resolution is: with an average of 0.26 mm ~ 3.8 pixel/mm ~ 97 pixel per inch. No matter what kind of resolution you would choose (800x600,1024x768 etc.) Reading the surrounding sentences, I think I can see where you're coming from. But, the above statement is a bit confusing. There is a reason why it's called pixel per INCH. And it definitely have something to do whether your monitor is set to 800x600, 1024x768, etc. A 15-inch monitor at 800x600 will have around 53ppi x 40ppi (800 pixels divided by 15 inches, etc.) and *the same* monitor at 1024x768 will have around 68ppi x 51ppi. If your 15' monitor is normally setup at 1024x768, everything (images, etc.) will look a bigger if the same image is viewed using the same monitor at 800x600. This happens because the pixels are now bigger. (One image pixel is now compose of many physical dots on the screen.) But, I guess, you already knew that. (^_^) an image having for example 48ppi would have pixels that use 2x2 pixels (4 pixels) as one colored pixel and so on. Now guess what you see when you have 194 ppi. Nothing, it's still 97 ppi because it's not possible for the screen to view anything else. Normally the screen would just duplicate the imagesize from 400x400 to 800x800.

One might think that an image should be scanned at 600 dpi to provide and equal quality, but really you can scan at a much reduced resolution and get the same results with a basic inkjet At a much reduced resolution? Try scanning some photo, say an A3 size photo, at 72ppi. Then, try printing that at 600dpi on the same A3 size paper and see what you get. color printer, because the scan will most often be done at 16.7 million colors.. the printer only has 4(+paper color) so it really takes a 4x4 dot area or so to start to get close to matching a single pixel. Now, lets don't even go there on printers. The above is greatly understated and was how old inkjets worked.. much has changed and I really haven't followed exactly what they are doing now, but obviously it seems that there is a blending over top of other colors in today's printers. Just trying to provide simple theory, quick to type, easy to grasp. Add to that that some have 8(+paper color). And that not all people are using inkjets. So, yet still ppi is being misrepresented.. Please stop doing this. Who is misrepresenting what? ;-) If you don't believe me try this. Open a quality paint program. In fact, Macromedia's Fireworks in the image sizing dialog box separates pixel dimensions from ppi putting ALL ppi function under the heading of Print Size. The example. Open or create an image 600 pixels x 300 pixels. Make sure you stay at 100% zoom factor. Set the printing Pixels/Inch to 150, but don't let the program change the Pixel dimensions. You will be given a print size of 4 x 2. The image will take up 600 x 300 pixels of your monitor screen space. Now with that same image, change only the resolution to 300. Leave the pixel dimensions the same (one has to be careful with the locking of proportions and samplings to be sure the program doesn't change the pixel dimensions when changing the Pixel/Inch). You will now see that the print size is 2 x 1, but yet the image size on the screen has not changed sizes. Of course! A pixel is a pixel to a monitor. A pixel is sent thru an algorithm on the way to a printer and by and large, print quality has to be much greater than monitor quality to 'look' as good. Basically, you can't get a 4 wide image on the screen to look as good when printed at 4 wide. That's correct. And nobody said otherwise. A general guideline is images for print should be no less than 150 ppi, newspaper quality, and 300 to 600 is recommended for color brochures and near photo quality. So, using our example above and assuming the printing company has requested 300 ppi images, that image at 600 x 300 which fills a major portion of one's monitor screen, can only be printed under this constraint at a maximum of 2 inches x 1 inch. If you're going to print, check with the printer before beginning as print quality is generally rising at all levels. The question of throwing away all images with 72dpi is irrelevant. 72dpi !== 72ppi Just to make it consistent, an image on the screen cannot have a dpi whereas a *printed* image can. The questions are: What resolution, pixels per inch, do you want to print at? Lets assume 300. What size are the images in pixels? Lets assume 1200 x 900. (I know, odd size but easy math to follow) Are you happy

I wonder how Paint Shop Pro comes up with PPI (Image - Image information). I have several thousand scanned images with resolution ranging from 72 PPI up to 1200 PPI (As reported by Paint Shop Pro) and want to discard, or more likely tag as rejected, any that suffer a resolution of less than 150 PPI. As you might imagine, I find the thought of doing it manually with Paint Shop Pro repugnant. Okay, if it was scanned at 72ppi then you can't really print it out again even with a near-similar quality. However, having an image with a 72ppi does NOT necessarily mean that you have an image unsuitable for printing. PPI or pixels per inch is a printing term. Last time I checked, dpi is the printing term. (^_^) dpi (dots per inch) - printer ppi (pixels per inch) - monitor/screen It has nothing to do with viewing on a monitor as a monitor's pixel setting is your set resolution, as in 800x600, 1024x768, 1600x1200.. etc. This is a constantly debated urban legend. A pixel on a monitor is a pixel... True. Pixels per inch are used in the printing world and relates to how many pixels are used to provide one inch of printed space. Obviously, at least up to the limits of the printer being used, a high PPI setting produces a higher quality 'printed' image. This really depends on how big the image is to be printed. Besides, an image/photo taken using a digital camera (at least mine) always defaults to 72ppi. BUT that does not mean that it will come out badly printed at 300 dpi -- it all depends on how big is the size (setting) of the picture when I first took it. If you don't believe me, use your paint program, change the PPI of an image and notice how the image doesn't change size on the screen. Also, do this and switch the image size display back and forth between inches and pixels.. the pixel count doesn't change, only the inches change.. but again... that's the printing world and has nothing to do with display on a monitor or webbrowser. True. This is basically because most monitors/screens are actually at or near 72 ppi. screen !== printer (^_-) So, an image 10,000pixels by 10,000pixels will be huge on screen. If set to a resolution of 1000ppi, the image would be printed at 10 x 10, but you still can't view the whole image on a monitor without zooming out. If resolution we set to 10,000dpi, the image would print as 1 x 1, but you still wouldn't be able to view it on a monitor (unless you have an I think you meant, ... but you still would be able ... awesome multi-display setup that can reach 10,000 pixels wide and tall). That's the bottom line. So, I keep seeing 'display size' when I'm thinking the term should be 'printed size'.

Re: [PHP] Inherit Methods
Hi !
you have to defined protected $var.
This is a example where php5 OO model has a little ambiguities.
Thing a few in your problem !, on de child class scope $var it's
private then when yo execute printVar(), you aren't executed on parent
scope you are calling a copie on child scope, then you don't have
access to $var. Only when you use parent scope throw
parent::printVar() , you realy calling the parent class instance into
your child then print result.
Then when you want to have a variable for being used on a public
inherit method you have to defined protected
On 8/8/05, Norbert Wenzel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Is it possible to run inherited methods in the scope of the child class?
In my case I have an abstract class called 'Company' and some child
classes. There is a non abstract function in 'Company' which prints
'$this-phoneList'. That function should be the same to all child
classes, without rewritting it in every class.
I call the printing method via the child class like
$childObject-printPhoneList();
The call seems to be handed over to the parent class 'Company' which is
fine. But the $this points to the phoneList of the abstract parent
class. So the phoneList in the abstract class seems to be unset, since i
have set the phone list in the child class.
Here's a short example, showing what I mean:
?php
abstract class AbstractClass {
private $var;
public function printVar() {
echo('var: ' . $this-var . 'br');
}
}
class ConcreteClass extends AbstractClass {
public function __construct($var) {
$this-var = $var;
}
public function printVarChild() {
echo('var (child): ' . $this-var . 'br');
}
}
$cl = new ConcreteClass(15);
$cl-printVar();
$cl-printVarChild();
?
Output is:
var:
var (child): 15
Has anyone an idea how to print the $var of the child, without copying
the method in every child class?
thanks in advance,

All variables are 1 character long, and should be numbers.

(Just a note: If they should be numbers, maybe you can use
is_numeric().)
But when any of the values were 0, then it didn't do my

In the above, you're basically asking
if (all of these are TRUE) {
do my stuff...
}
So, if even one of those is 0 then it won't do your
stuff...

I just seemed to fix the problem, I changed the above code
to($_POST['accid'] != ) for each one, and it works now...
? Could someone please enlighten me as to what's happening
here?
Well, this
if ($_POST['accid'])
is asking something like
if (TRUE)
so if the value of $_POST is 0 then it's FALSE. If the
value is 1 or a or Edwin then that would evaluate to
TRUE.
Whereas this one
if ($_POST['accid'] != )
is asking something like
if the value of $_POST is not equal to then...
So, since 0 is not equal to then the result would be
TRUE. If the value 1 or a or Edwin then that would
STILL evaluate to TRUE since those are not equal to .
Not sure if I had explained this well since I'm starting to
have a headache trying to figure out how to explain 'What is
TRUE?' Not 'FALSE'. Then, what is 'FALSE'? Not
'TRUE'. ??.

Japanese didn't have a native system of writing so they borrowed from Chinese characters. Those Chinese characters were used *phonetically* and the meanings were ignored. In other words, one can say that, during those time /even/ kanjis did NOT have any meaning for the Japanese (person) since the characters were just used phonetically. Since each Japanese word had to employ several Chinese characters, which requires a large number of strokes, they decided to simplify this bothersome process by using a cursive, simplified style of kanji. Then, (just to make the story short) during the Heian period (794-1185), the simplified characters underwent a further simplification. Thus, hiragana (and a little later, katakana) was born. Actually, just by observing how the kanas are written, you'll notice that: * The hiragana and katakana for na came from the kanji na in Nara (Nara Prefecture). * The hiragana and katakana for yu came from the kanji yu which means reason, cause, etc. * All hiragana and katakana has a corresponding kanji from which they're derived from.

I have enabled multibyte support while compiling PHP. As there is jcode.pl in perl, I want to know if there is something in PHP. Can anybody help me in this regard. That's a library for character code conversion. PHP can do that as well: http://www.php.net/mbstring - E - __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
