RE: [PHP] GD Lib
Hi there; I installed Apache2.0.39 and PHP4.2.1 on RedHat Linux 7.2. The installation procedure is fine. The php installation inlcude gd and some extension, but I can't find the php-gd.so on my computer. Anybody can help? Looks like the problem is that you haven't installed GD.

RE: [PHP] PHP PGP
This is not what I need. I'm not building a userbase to authenticate with. I'm holding a database of users and passwords that I need to keep. There is no authentication done against these user/password pairs. I don't want to keep the passwords in free text since if someone breaks in, he can steel many users and passwords. What I want to do, is encrypt each password with another password. and be able to decrypt the string with the same pass that was used to encrypt to show the original plain text pass two who ever needs to see it. The problem here is that to be able to decrypt a password you will have to store the key somewhere. This key will then be vulnerable if someone breaks into your machine. In other words, the crack becomes a bit more difficult but will have the same catastrophic affects. What you should do is encrypt the password in the database using a one way function, such as crypt(), http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php. When the user enters their password, encrypt that and then compare the encrypted passwords. The only problem with this is that there is no easy way to recover the password if the customer loses it. In this scenario, you will have to have an alternative way to reset the customers password.

[PHP] Null character as field seperator in a string.
For historic reasons, I have a file that contains a number of records in which the fields are seperated by the NULL character, i.e, field1\0field2\0field3\0field4 I need to parse out the fields from this string. The string is read into the program using $buffer = fgets(...). This would be no problem in Perl or C but I cannot get this to work in PHP. I have tried using preg_split(/\0/, $buffer); But this fails. I've tried walking through the string but it seems that $buffer only has the content up to the first NULL character. Does anyone have a simple solution to this problem. Regards Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Null character as field seperator in a string.
Hey.. yeah I might.. I don't know if I am right or just blabbering crap but try to add these param's to your regex statement.. preg_split(/\0/i, $buffer); note the i.. It should let it read past newlines.. although you're prob is with null (\0) chars.. as I said.. Don't know if I am on the right track.. but it's worth a go eh?? Unfortunatly I get the message Warning: No ending delimiter '/' found in when I try this. It appears that PHP is interpreting the \0 as a string terminator for the pattern match :( Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Try using fread() to get your file (it's binary safe). Then use: explode(chr(0), $buffer); to separate your fields. I'm beginning to think this may be the only solution. I now have to figure out how to process the records as I'm looking for the data in a particular line in the file, this should be fairly easy. Thanks.
