Re: [PHP] Logic sought
Write a script that cron runs that checks dates of files and removes 1 month old ones? On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 4:45 PM, tedd [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi gang: Here's the logic problem. First the site: http://php1.net/b/zip-files/ Now, the site works well enough. The user selects what they want, clicks Submit, the order is assembled in zip file and presented to the user for downloading. However, as it stands now, before the script assembles the test.zip, it deletes (unlinks) the previous test.zip and therein lies the problem. If two, or more, users hit the site at the same time then a RACE condition may have one user getting something they didn't ask for or not getting anything at all. The complicated way I figure I could solve this would be to: 1. Generate a random string name for the file -- instead of test.zip, it could be ax12nhg34.zip. 2. Then when the user selects the download that would trigger a javascript routine that would send the name of the file to be deleted to a slave php script that would unlinks the file. I know this will work, but if the user never downloads the file, then the files accumulate on the server. Does anyone have a better idea?

Re: [PHP] Communicated-Key/Token for SOAP Authentication
Checkout oAuth, to either see how they used it, or for the algo's http://oauth.net Kyle On Sun, Jun 22, 2008 at 7:53 AM, Steve Finkelstein [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I'm working on a relatively straight forward Web API that'll have a SOAP presence. The most secure way of going about doing authentication would be undoubtedly client-certificate authentication. I have been able to implement such a service straight forward as there is plenty of documentation out there covering how to do so. I have some clients who're reluctant to manage client certificates at this point in time, and do prefer a communicated-key authentication, very similar to what Amazon and a few of the other big boys do. I'm having a bit of a difficult time coming up with multiple solutions as to how to properly implement this for my service besides stuffing a random hash into my database and making them send it to me over SSL through their message payload. I can then compare the hash against what's in the database + their IP, or something else. Would anyone be able to suggest some algorithm for the way I'm handling the tokens that's more secure and less brute-forcible than the methodology I described above? My objective in this exercise is not to only authenticate who's sending me the SOAP envelope, but also to ensure that whatever token/key system I implement is not open for very simple brute force. If they're able to knock down my brick house, I have other problems --- but I definitely want to build that brick foundation. Suggestions, web articles, books etc., are all welcome!

Re: [PHP] Case sensitive password
Why not md5 the password, and store the md5 encryption.
Then when they type something in, md5 it and compare the md5 strings.
That will ensure that it is Case Sensitive

[PHP] Bug in SimpleXML?
I was working on a project for XML Parsing. I came across instances where my
elements were completely missing.
After further Digging into the issue, I found out, that when placing tags
inside of an element with text, SimpleXML (and dom Document) ignore the
added tags, and the text within.
Heres an example.
---ok.xml-
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 standalone=yes?
Document
Article
Title pagenum=84 docname=Career Path mar 08Is Your
Face on Facebook? /Title
SubtitleEmploy simple strategies to market your ?profile?
using online social networking./Subtitle
BodyTemp Testing Example of SimpleXML Bug.bIs it a bug
though?/b/Body
FolioTrying to just show Examples/Folio
/Article
/Document
---ok.xml-
---ok.php-
?php
$file = file_get_contents('ok.xml');
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($file);
print_r($xml);
print $xml-Article-Body-b . \n;
---ok.php-
---output-
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[Article] = SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[Title] = Is Your Face on Facebook?
[Subtitle] = Employ simple strategies to market your ?profile?
using online social networking.
[Body] = Temp Testing Example of SimpleXML Bug.
[Folio] = Trying to just show Examples
)
)
Is it a bug though?
---output-
Furthermore if I place b tags at the beginning of of the Body tags
ie.
BodybTesting/bTemp Testing Example of SimpleXML Bug.bIs it a bug
though?/b/Body
The text between the /b and b is ignored and is output as follows..
---output---
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[Article] = SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[Title] = Is Your Face on Facebook?
[Subtitle] = Employ simple strategies to market your ?profile?
using online social networking.
[Body] = SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[b] = Array
(
[0] = Testing
[1] = Is it a bug though?
)
)
[Folio] = Trying to just show Examples
)
)

The above output is using ok.php.
Is this working as intended?
Re: [PHP] php mysql live feed

I am trying to use php to pull mysql data and refresh the mysql data every say 5 seconds for like a live display of the database without the screen reloading. I want the data to refresh but not the screen. Ajax seems to hate me because everything i have seen/read/tried is wrapped around ASP.NET or requires a user interaction to invoke the query. If you have example scripts or a good tutorial that actually works where you can open a php script and the data changes on the page as the database does and the screen does not refresh, and you don’t have to onclick, onfocus, or onblur kind of thing.
