Re: [PHP] App to put a whole PHP Site in CD/DVD
The way I've done this in the past it with XAMPP and a simple autorun.inf file.

[PHP] PDO buffered query problem
Hi there,
I'm having some serious problems with the PHP Data Object functions. I'm
trying to loop through a sizeable result set (~60k rows, ~1gig) using a
buffered query to avoid fetching the whole set.
No matter what I do, the script just hangs on the PDO::query() - it
seems the query is running unbuffered (why else would the change in
result set size 'fix' the issue?). Here is my code to reproduce the problem:
?php
$Database = new PDO(
'mysql:host=localhost;port=3306;dbname=mydatabase',
'root',
'',
array(
PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE = PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY = true
)
);
$rQuery = $Database-query('SELECT id FROM mytable');
// This is never reached because the result set is too large
echo 'Made it through.';
foreach($rQuery as $aRow) {
print_r($aRow);
}
?
If I limit the query with some reasonable number, it works fine:
$rQuery = $Database-query('SELECT id FROM mytable LIMIT 10');
I have tried playing with PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE and using the
PDO::prepare() and PDO::execute() as well (though there are no
parameters in the above query), both to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated,
Stewart

[PHP] Why Should I Use Zend Optimizer?
I posted this on the Zend.com forums but have not been able to get a response yet. So I decided to ask the people that know. I do not understand the need for an optimizer. What exactly is Zend Optimizer optimizing? If it is changing my code, then how about if I just learn how to code better? Is that all that Zend Optimizer is doing? Making my code better? Instead of making a program to fix all the dumb things that programmers like me do, why not show us what is not working. If post-incrementing is slower than pre-incrementing then I will just start pre-incrementing. What if I already write perfect code? Would I still benefit from having Zend Optimizer on my system? In other words, is Zend Optimizer a program designed to help poor coders have faster running code despite their lack of skill? Or is it also optimizing other things? If so, why are those things not already optimized? Can anyone help me unfold this mystery? I have read quite a bit about what Zend Optimizer is and perhaps I have missed the point.

Another concern I picked up from a PHP security book is using '--' - which simply comments out the remainder of the line (with MySQL anyway). Therefore if your SQL is SELECT * FROM table WHERE user = '$user' AND pass = '$pass' a malicious visitor could enter a valid username followed by '-- which may allow them entry to that person's account by creating the following: SELECT * FROM table WHERE user = 'valid_user'--' AND pass = '$pass' A benefit to using something like PEAR::DB is access to the quotesmart() function, which quotes the input for you. Your query can then look like SELECT * FROM table WHERE user=$q_user AND pass=$q_pass q_user and q_pass are derived from form input which is passed to quotesmart(). Even if funky characters like ' and -- are included, the quoting should help prevent injection. Validating input helps, but some input literally can be most characters under the sun.

Interesting! Consulting the manual, I see that you are correct. So the OP
would do something like:
$sql=insert into foo values ;
foreach($formdata as $thisdata){
$sql.=($thisdata,...,...,...),;
}
$result=mysql_query($sql);
(of course the above code is broken, because it would leave an extra comma
at the end, but this is the general idea, no?)
Vaguely, yes. The trick here is that any single failure in one of the columns
can leave you with inconsistent data. Thus, use this with InnoDB table and
transactions enabled so you can rollback on failure :)
For sake of correctness, the data should be checked for validity first. Then,
assuming that all of the form data is going into the same table as the same
fields, you could push ($variable1, $variable2) into an array, and
join(',', $that_array)
Presto, no extra comma. Should use the mysql escape stuff too if not using an
abstraction layer that deals with it for you.

Re: [PHP] Something is messing up the php output
Yes, it has happened on different servers, none of them is bleeding edge, still using Apache 1.x and PHP 4.3.x. The sites are not using any character sets other than default. The machines are in a heat controlled environment and monitored for change so I would know if there was that kind of problem. One of the sites that I have seen it on is an osCommerce site. Another site is a custom built site. I am inclined to think that because it happens so rarely and when it does happen it is so random that there must be some combination of events that are hard to track as being part of the same problem. Thanks for the brainstorm, you did give me some things to think about. It has since subsided again so I will have to wait for it to happen again before I can troubleshoot more.

[PHP] sprintf and arrays.

$p_sub_values_str[$i] = '$v';
}
$s = join(',', $p_sub_values_str);
$r = htmlentities(sprintf($tmp[0], $s, ENT_QUOTES);
}
$tmp[0] in this case contains a string like 'Fred likes %1$s on his %2$s',
taking advantage of positional substitution with sprintf.
The function call to this snippet can have an optional array passed. My
need/desire is to substitute each element of the array into the appropriate
position with sprintf. So far I've tried:
$r = htmlentities(sprintf($tmp[0], $s, ENT_QUOTES);
$r = htmlentities(sprintf($tmp[0], ${$s}, ENT_QUOTES);
and a few other bits and pieces, all to no avail (error is about not enough
arguments).
Is there any way to accomplish this in PHP, or do I need to roll my own
substitution code? The array can obviously be anything from a single value
to 'unlimited' (though in practice will probably be less than 5).

bearing in mind that the variables have been {}'ed, and your double

to \
you can use shell_exec($command), which is identical to the backtick
operation.
Having that said, you should consider using alternative program
execution instead, instead of using the shell. What do you need the
shell for? You might(albeit unlikely) also come across a situation
where the shell is something like /bin/false, or /bin/falselogin, or

Re: [PHP] Page that checks if a user exists on a remote system
Richard, Very good point, and you are correct, I am not looking to hire an army and spend tons of time and money on it. I have since rethought this, thanks in part to this thread. I have decided to go with something more secure. Since I have a database of users already for the site on ServerA, I will just set up a cron job on ServerB that runs a script that queries that database and then adds, edits, removes users accordingly. That way the access of the shell is being done always by a trusted system only user. I will put an extra table in my database called something like user_email_account_management_requests and the remote script with check that for any tasks it needs to do. Thanks again to all those who helped me with this. I have learned quite a bit and enjoyed it.

Re: [PHP] Page that checks if a user exists on a remote system
Ok, so this is what I have done:
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
$idResults = `sudo -u admin ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] id usertocheck 21`;
echo id: (.$idResults.)\r\n.\r\n;
if (ereg(no such user, $idResults)) {
echo 'id blah!';
}
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
And, here are the results that I get when I access the above code with my
browser:
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
id: (id: alain: no such user
)
id blah!
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
I have added the webserver user to sudoers which gives that user only the
ability to sudo to the admin user and run the ssh command which then allows
the webserver user to ssh to the remote machine without a password since I
setup secure keys for that user.
So what I wanted to do is now working. My question now would be, are there
any security concerns with how I am doing this? Aside from doing an id
check I will also be doing a remote command to add a user to the remote
system (ServerB) from the same PHP script. I will of course escapeshellarg
any information my users submit to the script.

I believe that, for performance and security reasons, many/most SMTP
servers these days will out and out *LIE* to you about this...
The real answer is: There is *NO* *WAY* to do this on a general basis,
unless you control the remote machine, or know enough about its setup, to
be certain that it will respond correctly.
ServerA and ServerB
Ah. The original poster probably has control of ServerB.
Life is now simplified immensely.
This, of course, is because the script is being run as www
who has no
place to put ssl keys.
Could this be solved by having www su to a user who has
remote access
privileges? Something like this:
$idResults = `su admin | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] id bigbob 21`;
su simply won't let you do that. su requires a TTY to avoid you doing
something so incredibly dangerous as this.
So, no, that won't work. And you shouldn't be trying to do that anyway.
Anyone else doing or done something like this?
Sure.
I've never done it, but many many many have.
One fairly simple thing is to create the 'www' user on ServerA so that
they *do* have a home directory where they can store SSH keys. You may
need to su to 'www' once, and do some ssh work -- ssh-key-gen or whatever
it is.
That, however, increases your risk in the event that the www user is
compromised on ServerA.
Probably the best answer is to attack this from the side of ServerB.
You want ServerB to:
Only allow ServerA to even ask.
Tell ServerA if user X is a valid username.
From the point of ServerB, making sure that ServerA is the one asking is
fairly simple. You could check the IP (which can be spoofed, but that's
fairly difficult) or provide some other means of authentication (SSH/SSL)
that ensures that ServerA is really ServerA.
Then, ServerB can just check /etc/passwd usernames. Or be even simpler to
use a shell command like 'user' (?) or 'groups' to verify that a user is
valid.
In other words, instead of writing some hacky code on ServerA to try to
poke at ServerB to get the answer you want, write some nice clean code on
ServerB to provide the answer, WHEN APPROPRIATE.

RE: [PHP] Page that checks if a user exists on a remote system
This is in reply to both Stefan and Richard, I gave it some brief thought in the past, but brushed it off as not as convenient. However, rethinking about it, it may actually be more secure. H, darn it, now you have me thinking again. Security is a big concern for me. As it is now, the web user has the ability to sudo. But that user can only sudo to one other user, who is limited, and can only run 2 commands as that user. Sooo... while the web user is certainly limited, and the PHP script will be outside of the document root of the web server, and access to that script will be through an include on an SSL connection, there could still be something that I am not thinking of. Adding the people to a database first and having a script run by cron (or some other trigger) running on ServerB that accesses the database that is on ServerA would be a nice firewall and the web user would not need any access rights or the need to sudo. Ok, I am going to break this down and rethink my strategy. Thanks to everyone.

Subject: [PHP] Page that checks if a user exists on a remote system
I have two servers: ServerA and ServerB. One server serves
web pages, the
other serves mail. I am making a web page on ServerA that
will access
ServerB to find out if a users exists and if not then add
that user to
ServerB with information collected from the web page on ServerA.
I have this in a php file:
$idResults = `ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] id bigbob 21`;
echo id: (.$idResults.)\r\n.\r\n;
if (ereg(no such user, $idResults)) {
echo 'username is available!';
}
When I access the page I get:
Could not create directory '/nonexistent/.ssh'.
Host key verification failed.
This, of course, is because the script is being run as www
who has no
place to put ssl keys.
Could this be solved by having www su to a user who has
remote access
privileges? Something like this:
$idResults = `su admin | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] id bigbob 21`;
echo id: (.$idResults.)\r\n.\r\n;

[PHP] Yet another Apache 2 question
I'm currently using a PHP/Apache 2.0 (prefork) combination which seems to be running reasonably well, however I've just become familiar with the potential issues with PHP/Apache 2.0 so I intend to roll back to Apache 1.3 some time soon. I have a question about a particular error I have received with this setup: Many of the virtual hosts on my server have custom php_value settings. A user has reported that a particular error occurred in a PHP script, and the message indicated to me that the script had actually been loaded as if it were in another virtual host (ie. the specific php_value settings for the other virtual host were loaded instead). Both the user and I have never been able to replicate it and I have received no reports of similar errors. Could this be one of those unpredictable errors which the FAQ describes, or could this be attributed to some other problem? If anyone could shed some light on this it would be much appreciated!

[PHP] ob_start() and session_start() conflicts
Hi, I am currently working on a download script, where I use a session variable to make sure that the downloaded file cannot be linked directly. However, this protection is not mandatory, so that a download can also be created, which can be initiated via a direct link. So, I'm using the following for the file download: ob_start(); $filename = $sql_result[0]; $type = $sql_result[1]; $path = $sql_result[2]; header(Content-Type: $type); header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename); readfile($path); ob_end_flush(); ...which is working just fine as a standalone, but as soon as I add session_start(); before the ob_start() call, then the download is no longer working properly. The following happens in such a case: if the browser window was used to click through the script and initiate the download, then the file can be downloaded properly. if a new browser window gets opened and you try to access the file download via a direct link, then you get the filename presented for download without type and path info, e.g.: Filename: index.php?cmd=downloadid=12 Type: Path: As soon as I comment the session_start(); it's working just fine, though and the file can be downloaded properly via direct access. Am I right to assume, that since the session_start(); is sending headers as well, the ob_start cannot work properly anymore? And since it only happens when you're opening a new window and try to access it directly, I assume it's related to the fact, that the session gets set at the user end with a cookie and therefor causes the problem? Would preventing session cookies and using trans_id maybe help here? Thanks, Duncan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

How can i save a variable in a function?
The lower example doesn't work.
The var is always an empty string!
Anyone any solution?

Re: [PHP] Checking if a host is online
Jason Giangrande said: command (ping -c 1 $host), and while I could get that to work, since it returns non-zero status if the host can not be contacted, it takes quite a while to execute for even a few hosts at once. fping may help. Running a background job that just monitors ping status and updates a record somewhere is probably the best way. The PHP script needs only read the records to understand the status of the 'world'. As mentioned, this is what big brother does, to a certain extent. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thomas Svenson said: Hi, It would be nice if the moderator of this, and the other PHP-lists could fix so the listserver automatically add a Reply-To header to all the mails. When I hit Reply my message would then automatically reply to the list and not the author. Less hassle for me when replying and less risk of forgetting it. Much better to just switch to a mail client that understands the list headers in the mail, and supports reply to list.

Re: [PHP] create dropdown menu from returned $result
Currently you create 1 selectbox for each loop through the while loop
(leaving aside that the select is in and the /select outside the
very same).
By taking a quick look at it I recommend that you put the
echo SELECT NAME='$tablename';
line outside above the while loop.

[PHP] _GET arguments question
Hi, just a quick question: I'm writing a script, where arguments get added to a dynamicaly created URL. The only problem is that if there are no arguments in the URL already I get the following: http://localhost/dir_to_my_script/test.php?arg1=1arg2=2 notice the ? bit. I'm just curious, since it's working just fine in any major browser, are there any known problems which could occur by using the right after the ? character?
