[PHP] Moodle: Add field to user listing
Dear list, is there any approach to patch any PHP files within moodle in order to gain further columns for the user list? Reference: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Browse_list_of_users Objective: I wish to add a (sortable) user field in order to find users by additional aspects.

Re: [PHP] keep SESSION using wget?
Am Donnerstag 08 Februar 2007 20:36 schrieb Robert Cummings: Or... wget --save-cookies cookies.txt --load-cookies cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies http://my.domain/tracker.php You only need one cumulative call. Dear Rob, thanks again. However, my server uses Debian Sarge with wget 1.9.1-12. In this version, the option --keep-session-cookies is not implemented :( I also realised that the wget calls push up the PID ids 32,000. Is this going to be a problem? Or can I use a kill - SIGUSR1 to revive some background process any few minutes? I feel that this is going off-topic, so thanks for your understanding ;) To get back to PHP issues: No, constants are not what I was looking for, as I need to change the IP with the next call. But a variable that keeps its value and is global for all sessions. Regards Ralf -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] keep SESSION using wget?
Dear list, I wrote a php script to keep track of a remote server. This script is called every 10 minutes via http by a cronjob using wget. The cronjob calls (from the remote server) open a new session each time. This way I cannot use session variables to limit mail notifications to cases where the IP of the remote server has changed. Is there any way to - either make wget to stay within its session - or store the IP in a static variable that is persistent?

Re: [PHP] keep SESSION using wget?
Hi Rob, thanks for your quick reply! Am Donnerstag 08 Februar 2007 19:22 schrieb Robert Cummings: I don't suppose you checked the man page for wget did you? shame on me: I didn't RTFM ;) Now having done so, I wonder if I can store the cookie file with every call or if I should store it once manually and use the file with every cronjob call? Something like: getcookie_once: wget --save-cookies cookies.txt \ --keep-session-cookies http://my.domain/tracker.php refresh_hourly: wget --load-cookies cookies.txt http://my.domain/tracker.php ?

Re: [PHP] S: function to remove break URLs
Dear Jon, cheers for your lines ... Am Montag 28 August 2006 02:31 schrieb Jon Anderson: Guestbook spam (and comment spam) is something I'd like to try to eliminate altogether myself. I don't think there are any one-size-fits all solutions out there yet for detection/elimination. I'd personally like to hear any effective solutions people have found in PHP to combat this stuff. My approach here is to make a fuzzy decision if an entry is shown by default or needs a further check by myself before being published. In reference to the detection part; In my case, 95%+ of the spam entries have links that contain one of about 5 words (casino, pharm, drug, stock, or invest), so I could eliminate most spam by automatically trashing all entries that contains a link with one of those key words. I don't know if you're lucky enough to have spammers as predictable as mine, so that may not be an effective solution for anyone but me. Okay, these words occur also very often - but not exclusively - I could regards occurances of those words an criteria. In terms of destroying URLs, what happens when a real guest wants to put a URL in their entry? Seems to me that you might be overshooting... Well, my application is not exactly a Guestbook, and the field in question is not meant to display any URLs. There is a separate field to state an URL that is not displayed by default. You might be better off finding some way of preventing the data from even entering the system, for example, a captcha type system. They have accessibility problems, but I've read about solutions that use simple JavaScript to automatically enter the captcha code into the correct field and hide the captcha and the field so that the whole process is transparent to the user (including users with screen readers), whereas if JS is disabled, the captcha is shown and the code must be entered. This is based on the assumption that current spam robots that don't incorporate a JavaScript execution engine. Not sure how effective it is, but it's an interesting idea. You are speaking of those skewed letters one has to retype before the action is taken? I'd like to see some code for it - however in my case I have the impression that it is real persons who enter the spam. Can I, by the way, collect the IP of the visitor in a PHP form? You might have realized: I am an absolute beginner with PHP. Anyone want to share some spam-fighting success stories? Yes, pleaze ;) Regards Ralf -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] S: function to remove break URLs
Dear list, does anybody of you know these spammers filling up your guestbook with URLs? With strip_tags, I managed to remove the html tags. But what I want is this: 1. Detect such entries (to hide them by default) 2. Destroy URLs As for 2. I am thinking of adding spaces after at least every 12 characters (or even after every dot) - what do you recommend? Just removing http://; still leaves the domain behind. A good start could be to replace . by . and / by / . Any code to share?
