[PHP] Adianti Framework is released
Hi folks, Adianti Framework (www.adianti.com/tools) is a project being developed since 2007 by Adianti Solutions Ltd. The framework creator, Pablo Dall'Oglio says that the central idea of the framework is making agile the developement of enterprise applications. To do that, the framework has many visual components ready to be used, besides a productivity environment, Adianti Studio, that allows to design interfaces for the application. The framework also allows to create both Web Applications and Desktop Applications (using Gtk engine). This way, the developer needs to write just one code, and the result can be seen under the browser and also as a standard desktop application. The framework page brings a couple of tutorials. Three applications are made available as example. One live tutorial, one application for library management, and one issue management system. Source: Adianti Solutions (http://www.adianti.com)

[PHP] problem with string floats in PHP
Hello, Im designing a website in which I have to read some data (numbers) from a txt file and then send this data to a function which prints a graphic with them. When I read the data I save it in an array and the numbers are in this format: 5.812E-08. I have read the php documentation about it, and I have use the example given there to check which type is the data saved in the array. The response I got is $vectorIc[1]== 5.812E-08 type is string I dont understand why. In the documentation it is clear that this kind of data should be considerer float, or thats what I understood. I cant continue with my web designing if I dont get to turn the vector elements into float numbers, because the function that prints the graphic gives errors when recieving strings. I would be very thankful if you could help me trying to solve this. In using PHP 4.4.7 and Apache 2.0.59. Thank you very much! _ Descubre la descarga digital con MSN Music.

[PHP] About exec function
Hello, I'm designing a website with php and the critical point of the design
is to execute a program in the server, so after execution is finished,
server will show the client some data and info.
The program is called pspice, which analizes electronic circuits, works in
msdos and in order to call him you need to write in the command the input
file (which is created before we call the program) and the output file,
which can have the same name as the input file, since they have a different
extension. If everything works correctly after the execution of the proper
command, a .out (the output file written in the command) file should be
created with the data the server would later provide to the client.
I have got to execute the program using the line:
exec('c:\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\cmd.exe /c start c:\\PHP\\PSPICE\\pspice1.exe
ej1 ej1')
The problem I have is that the execution never ends. The cmd window with the
execution of the program appears and never ends, just keep simulating (and
the execution should be over in less than a second). The .out file is
created but it is empty. How can I make the execution of the program stop
and continue executing the rest of the code of my php file?
Thanks!

What's the error message you're getting? That will be most helpful in

Likely, though, is the fact that you're trying to output

curly braces.
It should be:

RE: [PHP] reg ex help

New to php so please bear with me. I'm trying to parse through a field
that has some information in it, the information is stored with other
information and is delimited in a certain pattern so I figure using reg
ex I can get the information I want out of the text.
So here is an example.
Silver Small Corp;X^%\n#\n
Gold Medium Corp;RE^%\n#\n
Platinum Large Corp;YRE^%\n#\n
Reall all I need is the information on Silver Small Corp, etc and the X
all the rest is gibberish. Is Reg Ex the best way to do this or would
it be some other way.[/snip]
If the number of semi-colons is fixed, then explode will do the trick.
$foo = 'Silver Small Corp;X^%\n#\n'; $bar = explode(';',
$foo); echo $bar[0];
However if the number of semi-colons is not fixed, then substr in
conjunction with strpos will do the trick.
$foo = 'Silver Small Corp;X^%\n#\n'; $bar = substr($foo, 0,
strpos($foo, ';')); echo $bar;

RE: [PHP] protect password?
[snip] Some functions need you to provide username and password, for instance odbc_connect. Even though the username/password just has minimum access privileges to the resource, putting it there in clear text in a script gives me heartburn. How do people handle username/password in such kind of cases? I'm sure there must be some way to store critical information in some encrypted format but it's still readable to scripts for authentication purpose. But don't know how. Any ideas or pointer would be greatly appreciated. [/snip] Some time ago Chris Shifflet provided a nice suggestion on how to make your passwords more secure. It's still not rock solid, but far better than storing them in clear text. The methodology I present below (which Chris presented originally) assumes Apache as your web server. Though I've recently gotten into IIS administration I'm not sure of how you would specifically do this under IIS. Create a file outside of your webroot, and in it use SetEnv declarations to set a username and password as environment vars. SetEnv dbname username SetEnv dbpass password Chown this file such that it is only readable by root, and then (assuming you're on a shared host) have it included in your virtual host block of the server config file. If you're on a dedicated box include it in the configuration section for the site in question. Then when the server is restarted you will be able to access the username and password via $_SERVER['dbuser'] and $_SERVER['dbpass'] in your scripts. As the first response to your post, not exactly what you were looking for, but much more secure than plain text or even simple include files. HTH.

RE: [PHP] protect password?
[snip] pablo... i fail to see how your suggestion is much more secure than placing the user/passwd information in a file that's outside the web access space, and then including the file. in either case, the user wouldn't be able to read the include file. [/snip] Greeting, Bruce. On a dedicated server there wouldn't be much difference. However if the site in question were on a shared host (which is usually the case) there would be a huge difference. On shared hosts since files to be included need to be readable by the user the server runs as their permissions must be set to: -rw-r--r-- And since every one else who has a site on the same server must also have files to be included set to be readable by the server user, one could easily write a trolling script to traverse the directories of other users on the site and grab whatever info they needed. The shared host I use for my personal site used to have this problem until I made them aware of it. In less than two minutes I was able to find several database usernames and passwords. They've since made changes to eliminate this problem. All that needs to be done is secure up the directory permissions and the problem goes away. By setting the file readable only by root this problem is completely eliminated. Unless a hacker has the root password, they will not be able to compromise the information in this file. This is how I understand it, at least. If Chris reads this perhaps he can confirm this for me?

[PHP] private properties problem
Today I discovered a possible serious problem with the way the latest
PHP versions handle private properties.
Given the following code:
?php
class Base
{
private $var1 = 0;
}
class FinalClass extends Base
{
function Test()
{
$this-var1 = 10;
}
}
$c = new FinalClass();
$c-Test();
print_r( $c );
?
I get the following result:
FinalClass Object
(
[var1:private] = 0
[var1] = 10
)
Now... PHP should have displayed an error when I was trying to set a
value to this private member from the parent class. No error message was
displayed. It created a local member which holded the value 10. But when
trying to access this value from the parent class, it is not there.
I think PHP should notify of the problem but it is not doing so. I have
my error reporting level on E_ALL.
Any ideas?

[PHP] RE: Problem using Metabase
[snip] I suspect that the problem is with file permissions. I recall that since Metabase uses include to load class files, the script will not exit when it fails to include a PHP class file. Assuming that is the case, make sure that all Metabase class files are readable by your Web server user. [/snip] The permissions seem fine. However, I've discovered something else. I was able to use Metabase without any trouble on a linux server to access a Postgres database. I then removed the call to MetabaseSetDatabase and changed the drive to odbc-msaccess, and the errors returned. Changed it back to pgsql or mysql and the errors go away. I just now tried this on the IIS box and got the same results. If I specify postgres I get an error telling me that postgres is not enabled in that php implementation, and if I specify mysql it works fine. If I change it back to odbc-msaccess, the errors are there. So, the error message I get is only triggered when I specify Access as the database. Does this provide any further insight?

[PHP] Problem using Metabase
Hi, folks. I've recently decided to use Manuel's Metabase instead of
ADOdb as ADOdb doesn't support transactions for MS Access, however I'm
getting the following error when running the sample code:
Fatal error: Class metabase_manager_odbc_class: Cannot inherit from
undefined class metabase_manager_database_class in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\etrakFE\classes\metabase\metabase_odbc.php on line 13
Obviously this means that the metabase_manager_odbc_class is being
defined before metabase_manager_database_class, thus throwing an error,
but the problem is I'm not calling this manually, and have used the
sample code exactly as it is in the manual.
Here's my code:
require(classes/metabase/metabase_database.php);
require(classes/metabase/metabase_interface.php);
$error=MetabaseSetupDatabaseObject(array(Type=odbc-msaccess,
IncludePath=classes/metabase), $db);
if($error!=) {
echo Database setup error: $error\n;
exit;
}
$db-SetDatabase(etrakADB);
Does anyone have any idea why I might be getting this error? As I said
I'm using the sample code exactly as it is in the tutorial, and am not
calling the metabase_manager_odbc_class myself.

I tried that code here with PHP 4.3.11 and it works perfectly.
Which version of PHP are you using?
Are you using any PHP cache extension like APC or another?
Metabase loads the class files by the right order but it is possible
that a buggy caching extension may be causing that problem.
You may also try loading the classes as workaround right after the
includes you make in your script:
require('classes/metabase/metabase_odbc.php');
require('classes/metabase/metabase_odbc_msaccess.php');
require('classes/metabase/manager_odbc.php');
require('classes/metabase/manager_odbc_msaccess.php');
[/snip]
Thanks, Manuel. I tried what you suggested but it didn't work. The server
this project is housed on is an IIS server running PHP 4.4.0.
I installed the metabase package on a linux server, and was able to connect to
a postgres database with no troubles at all.
It must be something in our PHP configuration that's causing the problem, but
I'm pretty sure we have a cache extension installed. This PHP install was done
rather quickly, unless there's a cache extension installed by default (which
there is not as far as I understand, but I could be wrong ...) we likely didn't
install one.

behavior of your scripts when you're also using header(). Replace
header() with echo and compare the behavior.
Also, comparing php.ini can help you identify differences in
configuration. Configuration directives can be modified through other
means, but this is a good starting point (and a good candidate for
version control anyway - inconsistencies can cause you to waste time and
effort).[/snip]
Hi, Chris.
I turned on error reporting for that script in production and no errors
occurred.
However, and this is even stranger to me, if I add the following after
the call to header()
die('foo');
the page redirects to the correct url.
I remove die('foo'); and it redirects to itself again.
I'll take a look at the two ini files to see if I can spot any
differences, but I'm stumped as to what in there might cause just this
one page to redirect to itself rather than the prescribed URL.
The form submits to a controller url, and then is validated using a form
generation/validation class I use for all my applications. If the
validation fails it redirects back to the form page, with the
appropriate form id appended to the url. If the validation succeeds,
the delete event method is called, at the end of which the redirect back
to the main event page should occur, but is not for some reason, unless
I add that line of code after it.
I know the form is validating since the event is deleted, since, well,
it is deleted, and there is no form id appended to the url when it is
redirected.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Pablo

[PHP] PHP, MS Access Transactions
Hi, folks. I have the unfortunate task of writing a PHP front-end for a client-server application that is back-ended in MS Access. I've tried using the transaction functionality in ADOdb (PHP implementation of ADO) but it doesn't work seem to work correctly, even though it says it does. If I intentionally submit a malformed query as part of a series of inserts, the ADOdb transaction supposedly rolls back, but when I look at the database, the inserts carried out before the error occurs are still there. Does anyone know if it's possible to use transactions with Access via PHP? Cheers and TIA, Pablo -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] header redirect not working
Hi, folks. I'm running into an incredibly bizarre problem with a
header() redirect of which I cannot see the cause.
We have a CMS here where I work, in two separate production and training
environments.
Last night I implemented a new events manager module, copying all
necessary files from training to production, adding database tables,
etc. etc.
Everything worked, except for one redirect which happens after a user
deletes an event. For some reason, the redirect is simply reloading the
event detail page from which the user clicked the delete link.
But the truly bizarre thing is that in the training environment it
works!!!
There is nothing different between the two files except for '-test'
being added to the subdomain (so it's cms-test.mydomain.com instead of
cms.mydomain.com) in any full paths.
The code that deletes the event, and then redirects the user is:
$conn-Execute(delete from cms_events where e_id = {$fd['e_id']}) or
$this-CMS_error(2,$this-mod_name,$query,$conn-ErrorMsg());
header(Location:{$this-CMS_base_path}mods/events_manager/cms.events_ma
nager.dsp.php);
Not to much to see here. If the query doesn't execute the CMS_error
method is called, and the header would never be reached.
However, the query does execute, the event is deleted, but instead of
going to the appropriate location, it's simply redirecting back to:
/mods/events_manager/cms.events_manager.event_detail.dsp.php?e_id=15
where 15 is whatever the number of the event that was just deleted was,
and ergo it brings up an Invalid event error, and the user can then
click a link at the bottom of the page to go back to the main events
manager page.
Can anyone think of any reason why the above code, just those two lines,
would redirect correctly in one environment, yet simply redirect to the
currently existing page in another?
There are a number of other redirects in the events module that are
working fine, so why this one would work in the training environment and
not in the production environment is mystifying me.
Cheers, and thanks very much in advance for any help. This one hurt my
brain this afternoon.

[PHP] Feedback on the various PHP-MVC implementations
Hi, folks. I'm looking for some feedback on a couple of the php mvc implementations out there. The two that I've seen referenced the most are php.MVC (http://www.phpmvc.net) and Phrame (http://phrame.sourceforge.net). I've looked around and found some okay opinions on both, but I'd really like to hear from some people on this list who have used one or both directly, or any other MVC frameworks that you feel are worth mentioning. I've looked through the archives but have not found much from people who have actually implemented any of these frameworks, just mainly comments of what they look like on the surface. If anyone here has any direct experience with either of the above frameworks, or with any other stable, mature frameworks please let me know.

snip echo a name=\.urlencode($mydata-district).\/a; a name=Montr%E9al+District+%234/a http://foo.org/_private/directory.php#Montr%E9al+District+%234 works in IE6, but Mozilla will not accept it. Mozilla does not work. Am I approaching this wrong? Should I create my HTML this way? echo a name=\.$mydata-district.\/a; a name=Montréal District #4/a If I do, Mozilla prferes this: http://foo.org/_private/directory.php#Montr%E9al%20District%20#4 or http://foo.org/_private/directory.php#Montr%E9al%20District%20%234 IE refuses it and prefers: http://foo.org/_private/directory.php#Montr%E9al+District+%234 /snip I'm not sure, but I see two things that might be causing this. First, why are spaces, which should be translated as %20, being represented as a '+'? Second, you have a # in the actual bookmark name, which I would assume is not valid since the # denotes the beginning of a bookmark. So perhaps IE compensates for this, but Mozilla reads the bookmark as looking for a name=4/a because of the #4 at the end of the bookmark name.

[PHP] PHP and SSH
Hi, folks. Has anyone had any issues using PHP with the libssh2 library? I had my sysadmin install it, but he's not certain we should be developing against it in a production environment since it's still alpha (0.10). I'm looking for opinions as to whether anyone out there has run into problems developing against it, or if the general consensus is that there are no critical concerns about using it as a core part of a large project. I personally don't think there are, since I don't think that PHP would have bindings to this library if it weren't, but I want to have some other feedback to give to my sysadmin?

RE: [PHP] html editor written in PHP
snip Has anyone seen an example of a HTML editor written in PHP (no JS)? You know the ones - for adding HTML tags to a text field, etc. /snip I think what you're asking for is a logical impossibility. PHP is server side, so without javascript a browser-based wysiwyg editor would be impossible, since there would be no client-side functionality to respond to any action by the user.

[PHP] array_diff odities
Howdy folks. I'm running into something strange with array_diff that
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on.
I have two tab-delimited text files, and need to find the lines in the
first that are not in the second, and vice-versa.
There are 794 records in the first, and 724 in the second.
Simple enough, I thought. The following code should work:
$tmpOriginalGradList = file('/path/to/graduate_list_original.txt');
$tmpNewGradList = file('/path/to/graduate_list_new.txt');
$diff1 = array_diff($tmpOriginalGradList, $tmpNewGradList);
$diff2 = array_diff($tmpNewGradList, $tmpOriginalGradList);
I expected that this would set $diff1 to have all elements of
$tmpOriginalGradList that did not exist in $tmpNewGradList, but it
actually contains many elements that exist in both.
The same is true for $diff2, in that many of its elements exist in both
$tmpOriginalGradList and $tmpNewGradList as well.
Since this returns $diff1 as having 253 elements and $diff2 as having
183, it sort of makes sense, since the difference between those two
numbers is 70, which is the difference between the number of lines in
the two files. But the bottom line is that both $diff1 and $diff2
contain elements common to both files, which using array_diff simply
should not be the case.
However, when I loop through each file and strip out all the tabs:
foreach ($tmpOriginalGradList as $k=$l) {
$tmp = str_replace(chr(9), '', $l);
$tmpOriginalGradList[$k] = $tmp;
}
foreach ($tmpNewGradList as $k=$l) {
$tmp = str_replace(chr(9), '', $l);
$tmpNewGradList[$k] = $tmp;
}
I get $diff1 as having 75 elements and $diff2 as having 5, which also
sort of makes sense since there numerically there are 70 lines
difference between the two files.
I also manually replaced the tabs and checked about 20 of the elements
in $diff1 and none were found in the new text file, and none of the 5
elements in $diff2 were found in the original text file.
However, if in the code above I replace the tabs with a space instead of
just stripping them out, then the numbers are again 253 and 183.
I'm inclined to think the second set of results is accurate, since I was
unable to find any of the 20 elements I tested in $diff1 in the new text
file, and none of the elements in $diff2 are in the original text file.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? The tab-delimited
files were generated from Excel spreadsheets using the same script, so
there wouldn't be any difference in the formatting of the files.
This one has me confused as I really thought the simple code posted
above should have worked.
If anyone can pass along any advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers and TIA,
Pablo

RE: [PHP] Simple Problem

In the second, you're joining two tables, but you're still using the same WHERE clause, products.userID = $userID. This is causing multiple records to be returned, since there is nothing specifying how you are joining the users and products table so it correctly returns a match for every row in the user table. Change the where clause to: WHERE products.userID = $userID AND users.userID = $userID and this will force the query to limit results to those records in products that have a matching record in the users table.

[PHP] Displaying Time Intervals
Hi, folks. I've added some code to our CMS that tracks the exact amount of time that a user is logged into the system. I'm going to use these stats to track how much time someone has spent practicing in the training environment before I give them access to our production system. Can anyone give me some advice on the best way to display intervals of time? Basically there are two timestamps - time_in and time_out, and I want to for each record display the difference between the two in the format of H:i:s. I'm pulling the timestamp fields from the database in the format of number of seconds since the epoch. Then, cumulatively for each day, I want to display the total time, also in the format of H:i:s. Can anyone give me some advice on how to do this? I thought of date() and strftime(), but I don't see how those would accommodate for someone who spends 30 seconds on the CMS in a single session, since that would need to be displayed as 00:00:30. Is there an existing class that provides such functionality, or should I just write one myself?

You need to generate the javascript array from your PHP array.
Example:
In your script create a php array of the values you wish to use. Using
indeces is not essential. If you do not use them, you can just use a
counter var when you loop through the array to create the indeces for
the JS array.
?php
$arrayVar = array('first index'='item 1', 'second index'='item 2',
'third index'='item 3');
$jsVar = var myArray = new Array();\n;
foreach ($arrayVar as $idx=$val) {
$jsVar .= myArray['{$idx}'] = {$val}\n;

[PHP] Text Parser
Hi there... I need to get a procedure able to do this: 1) Receive a string. For example: name age address location. 2) Process that string, inserting comas between the words in the middle. For example: name,age,address,location. It´s important that the comas must be inserted after the first word, and before the last one. 3) Return that string. Any ideas? Thanks!

[PHP] Load testing for PHP Applications

This may be ok for private projects but otherwise I don't think it's a
good idea to create shorthand functions. Other developers (and

getting confused. They must first learn what this functions are
doing. The names of these functions are not really helpful in
understanding what's going on.[/snip]
I'm with Klaus on this one.
I see the purpose of creating functions that eliminate repetitive
behaviour by using native PHP functions and doing a little something
extra with the results to suit your needs, but as for just using
asl($val) instead of addslashes($val), well why not just extend the PHP
source to make asl() an actual alias to addslashes()?

RE: [PHP] 'Code Snippets' you couldn't live without
[snip]Extending PHP to have shorthand functions? Was that
irony?[/snip]
It most certainly was irony, Klaus.
I was merely trying to illustrate the point that writing a custom
function which does EXACTLY the same thing as a built in function is
redundant. A number of functions within php do have aliases (sizeof()
is an alias count() for example) but these are throwbacks to equitable
functions in other languages.
As I stated earlier, if your function does more than the built in
function, then yes, you are increasing efficiency, but if all you're
doing is creating a custom alias of which only you will know the useage,
then you only increase obscurity.
As for my favorite piece of reusable code, I hate preparing dates for
insertion into a database when I have to deal with null values, etc. So
I use a function which takes an array of date field names and a regular
expression, then validates $_POST['field name'] against the regular
expression and returns an array, $dates, each field of which contains
either a date prepared for insertion (wrapped in single quotes) or
simply the string 'null'.
function _formatPostDates($dateArr,$regex)
{
$dates = array();
foreach ($dateArr as $date) {
$dates[$date] = preg_match($regex,$_POST[$date]) ?
'{$_POST['release']}' : null;
}
return $dates;
}
On a page where I have to deal with multiple date fields, this greatly
increases the efficiency of validating the dates and makes things safer
and easier when creating queries.

Pablo

I'm not really sure how to answer this! How does this relate to the US
election? Isn't this an election list? HA HA HA HA, just kidding ;o)
You need to check that the code entered doesn't match both valid codes.
Try this instead:
If ($Promotion_Sub == 'Checked' $code != 'D04E' $code != 'Y04KG')
{
Do error stuff
}
With the code you have above, it will always give the error message
because you're checking to see if $code is not equal to the first value,
OR if it is not equal to the second value. So with that, the code
supplied might well match the first ('D04E') but since that obviously
doesn't match the second, it's going to throw the error.

RE: [PHP] Passing marked rows in a table
[snip] I create a list of records from a DB and each has a check box. What is the best way to select those that were checked after the form is submitted? [/snip] If the elements all live within the same form, you can add [] to the end of the name/id attribute, and then all checkboxes with the same name will be accessible in an array. So checkboxname[] will show up as $_POST['checkboxname'] on the receiving end. This is the best way, and most appropriate to this list since it is all PHP. HOWEVER, if the checkboxes are all contained in different forms (each form in a row with its own processing options), then you will need to assign a common name to each element (I usually call mine performMultiple), and then using Javascript loop through all elements on the page, checking for the proper name, and if found then adding the value to a comma-delimited list, the value of which will be set to a hidden input field before the form is submitted.

RE: [PHP] Session and validation
[snip] I had this thread going yesterday. Then basically think it reached a stalemate. I'm wondering has anyone setup forms using session variables and validation. Validation where the validating is done on the same page, and the redirected on success ? [/snip] You need a class which will generate and validate your forms dynamically. Pear provides two packages (the second an extension of the first): http://pear.php.net/package/HTML_QuickForm http://pear.php.net/package/HTML_QuickForm_Controller I've never used these as I wrote my own library to handle this a few years ago, but from what I understand these two packages will do the trick. Basically it will work thusly: 1) On a page where you need a form, you declare a new form object, specify all your inputs, how they should be validated, etc., and these are then stored in the session. 2) On the receiving page you call the form validation object, passing in an identifier for which form should be validated. 3) If it validates your script will continue unfettered, else it will update the values in the session with the appropriate error message and redirect you back to the original form, which, since you are using session variables to display the inputs, will now be updated with the error messages.

However, there are some things you can do as a developer, and I give some specific examples. [/snip] Hi, Chris. Thanks for that link. It was incredibly informative. I just took your code for the file browser and it was able to read the information in all users' webroots and all other directories and files readable by nobody:nobody, including database passwords, .htaccess files (which contained paths to password and group files), etc. There was no /etc/passwd file, but this is irrelevant as I was simply able to browse the /virtual directory to see a list of all users home directories, and from there their webroots, etc. I guess it is an inevitable fact that if you are on a shared host, any script executed from the browser is capable of reading any other script on the server which is set to be readable by the web server. I usually store all my files with sensitive information and class files outside the webroot, but under this setup, anyone could simply read the contents of the files in the webroot and use the information in those files to then read the files which are store outside of the webroot. Unfortunately I don't have access to my server config file (a 'find' command for httpd.conf returned no results), so is this something a host would usually change for individual users?

[PHP] Problems installing smarty on a shared host
Hi folks. I've recently moved my site to a shared host, and this is the first time I've had to set up my site in a really restrictive environment, and I'm running into problems getting smarty installed. Using the basic example set up from the Smarty docs, when I run the file I get the following error: Warning: main(Smarty.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/site357/fst/var/www/html/smarty.php on line 4 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'Smarty.class.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php:/home/pablogosse/smarty/') in /home/virtual/site357/fst/var/www/html/smarty.php on line 4 Now, as you can see by the value of my include path, I've got the path to smarty added, but it's still not finding the file even though /home/pablogosse/smarty/Smarty.class.php does indeed exist. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? As I said up until now I've been lucky enough to always have access to dedicated servers where setting this up was never a problem, but I know there's something I'm missing in understanding why this isn't working. Any help is appreciated. Cheers and TIA. Pablo -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Problems installing smarty on a shared host
I tried that and got the same error. I'm trying to place the smarty directories outside my webroot to minimize security risks, however given my experiences thus far, I don't really see that being possible. Would a viable solution perhaps to be to include the smarty directories in the webroot such that my scripts can access them, but to protect the directories via .htaccess to prevent direct execution of files from said directories, since my scripts will be including them but are themselves executed from valid locations?

The paths seems strange, what if you try include_path = /home/virtual/site357/+ whatever is the relative path to Smarty.class.php from smarty.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[snip] I'm trying to place the smarty directories outside my webroot to minimize security risks, however given my experiences thus far, I don't really see that being possible. It should not matter, unless open_basedir is in effect, but that would be another error. I would check if the directories are right, you can start by using relative path. [/snip] It appears I've found the problem. I used passthru(ls -l [dirname],$ret) to start reading from /home all the way up through the following: /home/ /home/virtual/ /home/virtual/site357/ /home/virtual/site357/fst/ and all returned complete directory listings and a return code of 0. Now, when I read through /home/virtual/site357/fst/var/ /home/virtual/site357/fst/var/www/ /home/virtual/site357/fst/var/www/html/ I see the files that I would see when I SSH in and ls -l the following paths: /var/ /var/www/ /var/www/html/ HOWEVER, when I attempt the passthru call on /home/virtual/site357/fst/home/ I get no results back, and the return code is 1. So it appears scripts running under the apache user cannot access that folder or anything beneath it Any ideas? Cheers and TIA.

[snip] It should not matter, unless open_basedir is in effect, but that would be another error. I would check if the directories are right, you can start by using relative path. [/snip] Just the relative path from smarty.php, ../../../home/pablogosse/smarty/Smarty.class.php And I get a permission denied error. So it appears for sure that I can't read anything inside my home directory, or outside the webroot it would seem. Any ideas?

RE: [PHP] Problems installing smarty on a shared host
[snip] You'll probably notice that the permissions for /home/pablogosse are like: drwxr-x--- with user:group pablogosse:pablogosse If you have permissions to, i would set up a directory like: /home/virtual/site357/fst/var/include/smarty/ And then set the include_path appropriatly. [/snip] Unfortunately I don't have write access to /var as it is owned by root. I've just discovered another thing which makes me even more nervous. I just wrote a script as a quick test and I was able to use file_get_contents to read a file out of another user's webroot. So, anyone who is storing passwords or other valuable information under their webroot risks having that information being easily accessible to anyone else hosting here. As I said earlier, most of my experience until now has been in situations where the sites I've worked on have been hosted on dedicated servers, and this has never been a problem. Is this a common set up for shared hosting? Is there any way around this? Cheers and TIA, Pablo -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] php security on shared hosts
Hi folks. I recently set up hosting for my site and have noticed something which is making me nervous. I can't seem to include files outside of my webroot, so I wrote a script to test permissions using passthru to output the results of a bunch of ls -la commands to see what I did and did not have access to. Eventually I was able to read the directory which holds the root folders for all sites on the server, and from there I was able to read files (revealing the php source) from the webroot of another site. This to me is a huge security issue since if anyone has any sensitive information there, it could easily be accessed by anyone else hosting on the same server. And because I can't seem to include files from outside my webroot, if I stay with this company I'll be forced to include information such as database passwords inside my webroot, therefore exposing the information to every other user on the server, and that's just not acceptable. All of my experience until now has been in situations where the sites I've worked on have been hosted on dedicated servers, so this has never been a problem. Is this a common set up for shared hosting? Is there any way around this? Cheers and TIA. Pablo -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
