[PHP] Shopping cart with Flash front end

2003-07-14 Thread Daniel Rychlik
This is off subject, but I was wondering if anyone has come across any
white papers or sample .fla files I could look at to consider building a
shopping cart in flash.  Obviously I want to use PHP for my backend with
a flash shopping cart front end.

[PHP] calling functions in classes using text and graphic links

2003-06-24 Thread Daniel Rychlik
Hello,

I am attempting to solve a problem in PHP.  My application consists of
Classes and subclasses.  In my Class I call certain functions that have
header information and footer information displaying them in nicely
formatted HTML.  I have used this method because of one style sheet that
all HTML documents read from.  I have run into a problem with executing
functions using HTML links.  I have not yet come up with a solution and
I was wandering if anyone has run into his one before.   Obviously I
need this to be dynamic as possible, and as friendly to use.  Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

RE: [PHP] calling functions in classes using text and graphic links

2003-06-24 Thread Daniel Rychlik
I see, Im still a little troubled by the problem.  If I have a link on a
HTML document called a href=search.phpSearch Tool/a  How would I
execute a function within my class?  Is it the same answer as you gave
me?  
So,
a href= 
?php 
$fg-yourfunctionname($arguements);
?
 Search Tool/a

Is that the answer ?

I am not sure what you mean but if you are trying to call functions that
exist within your class
 you need to do something like the following

$fg = new YourClass.class.php;
$fg-yourfunctionname($arguements);

[PHP] Mcrypt functions

2003-06-04 Thread Daniel Rychlik
Hello,

I have been playing with the mycrypt function.  Im having a bit of
trouble understanding why it is important to use a vector IV.  

I was wandering if there is a reasonably powerful encryption algorithm.
That uses a key only instead of getting the block size and using a IV.  

I basically want to know if there is something simple out there that
will do the same job.  

Kind Regards,
Daniel

RE: [PHP] Re: Mcrypt functions

2003-06-04 Thread Daniel Rychlik
I read more on vector IV and I agree with you.  I've been reading this manual on 
mcrypt_encrypt and _decrypt functions.  I came up with this from what I read and 
pretty much took the example.  I have a problem with my decrypt statement.  Im passing 
what I believe is the correct params, but I could be mistaken.  

Output from my function...

 _ V'''3n2VkRyw y}Pe ` - 
Encrypted Data...
8R64e]xLom 
2*
   ez;T_=G- Decrypted data...

code snipit

srand();
$key = this is a secret key;
$input = Let us meet at 9 o'clock at the secret place.;

$size = mcrypt_get_iv_size (MCRYPT_BLOWFISH, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB);

$iv = mcrypt_create_iv($size, MCRYPT_RAND);


$encrypted = mcrypt_ecb (MCRYPT_BLOWFISH, $key, $input, MCRYPT_ENCRYPT, $iv);

echo $encrypted, - Encrypted Data...br/;

$decrypted = mcrypt_ecb (MCRYPT_BLOWFISH, $key, $input, MCRYPT_DECRYPT, $iv);

echo $decrypted, - Decrypted data...br/;

An initialization vector is basically used to 'seed' the algorithm to make
it more difficult to crack the ciphertext. Using an IV with a block cipher
is recommended because it generally makes the cipher more resiliant to
known-plaintext attacks. 

You can use an algorithm without an IV, but you're risking security if you
do. In ECB mode, for instance, the IV is actually completely ignored, but
if you use the same key, identical blocks of plaintext will translate to
identical blocks of ciphertext. This is why an IV and block cipher modes
which utilize IVs are important.

Using an IV is definitely recommended. A good start would be Rijndael in CBC
mode with random IVs. You can safely transport the IV with the ciphertext.

If you really, really don't want to use IVs, you should try to stick with a
strong cipher such as Rijndael or Twofish and a mode like CBC. You might
also want to look into a stream cipher, such as ARC4 or SEAL. But I'd still
recommend using an IV.

RE: [PHP] mcrypt installation

2003-06-04 Thread Daniel Rychlik
Here is how I installed it and got it working.  This is straight out of
the PHP manual.  You should read it, it helps.
 

LIV. Mcrypt Encryption Functions


Introduction

This is an interface to the mcrypt library, which supports a wide
variety of block algorithms such as DES, TripleDES, Blowfish (default),
3-WAY, SAFER-SK64, SAFER-SK128, TWOFISH, TEA, RC2 and GOST in CBC, OFB,
CFB and ECB cipher modes. Additionally, it supports RC6 and IDEA which
are considered non-free. 
  _  


Requirements

These functions work using  http://mcrypt.hellug.gr/ mcrypt. To use
it, download libmcrypt-x.x.tar.gz from here http://mcrypt.hellug.gr/
and follow the included installation instructions. Windows users will
find all the needed compiled mcrypt binaries here

I'm just a little curious, I've never really don't this before, but is 
installing mcrypt usually a very hard thing to do, or will it be pretty 
simple for a dolt like me? :)
 
Thanks.
