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.

Re: [PHP] db insert question

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.

I was expecting this to work ... http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/safeDir/Word.doc but it isn't. IE dropped support (or severely neutered it) for username:password in URLs a while back. One way to handle this is to write a wrapper script that accepts the file name as a parameter. The script verifies that the user is allowed to access the file, and sends back the file with appropriate content type etc. Files can then be stored outside of the document root, preventing access even if you guess the file name. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Can this script be written in php ... or it is some kind of cgi? Any http://lists.evolt.org/archive/Week-of-Mon-20011224/064591.html has some sample code to do with forcing IE to download a file where it can't determine the mime type properly. This forms the core of being able to feed a file to a browser when a .php file is called. The rough flow of the code would be: 1) Check that the user is authenticated. Kick them out if they aren't. 2) (Optional) Check that the user is allowed to access the file being requested. This might be a MySQL DB lookup, a secret word request, whatever. 3) Check that the file exists. Even better, rather than feed a file name, store a mapping of a unique ID to real file name in a data source of some type, and throw the ID around. You can enforce the format of the ID etc to avoid attacks against your system. 4) If all is good, use the code linked above (in some form) to feed the file to the browser. The user will get a Save dialog box in pretty much any browser. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You never have to free your results if you don't want to. As I understand it, doing so simply frees up the memory that is being taken *tip* Ta.

You get an error when you do what? Unzip the source, compile it, run it, load a .php page, crap your pants??? I would have though compile it would be obvious from the fact thats a gcc error.

Re: [PHP] is there a way to track downloads
On Sun, 23 Jun 2002, Kevin J wrote: Hey all, I would like to place some files on my site and use PHP to track how many users have downloaded those files. Is this possible? Approach the problem logically: 1) You have a series of files that you want people to download. 2) You want to track which files are downloaded. 3) You don't want people accessing the files directly. So, a file called download.php. Accepts a parameter - the file name to make available. Logs an entry of IP and file (and whatever else) to a file / database / whatever. Makes the file available to the user - but the path is hidden / created on the fly so that a particular file cannot be pulled without going through the script. The actual code is left as an excercise for the reader. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Accessing a form variable before the form is posted
On Fri, 21 Jun 2002, Ma Siva Kumar wrote: In one of the forms, there is a selection for City in the address details as well as one for the port of destination. If I use the function both the the select name will be form[city_id]. The port of destination selection overwrites the form[city_id] from the selection of City. Use different variable names. Or make your function return a value, and use assignment to handle it. In short is it possible to access a variable from the form before the form is posted? In short, no. The flow is like this: Browser requests page. Webserver serves page, after parsing (if needed). Browser displays page to user, and essentially disconnects from webserver. User fills in form. Server has no clue as of yet. User presses submit. Browser connects to server and sends data. Server now knows about the data. -- Sapere aude My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
