Basically I use the MVC (Model View Controller) architecture when building my php
scripts. So all of my logic is
handled by a controller which calls methods on functions,
that way the php scritps that are used to display forms, tables etc. have little to no
business logic to them at all.
Now in the controller I woul find it pretty annoying
if I had to reference either the $HTTP_POST_VARS or $HTTP_GET_VARS aarry, so to add to
the fact that it would make the
code look more messy than it needs to be.
So all I wanted to know was is it possible to use 'global $GLOBAL' within a function?

Hello,
If you are reading this and do not know what is Metabase, be aware that
it is PHP database abstraction package for developing truely portable
database independent functions. Metabase development will complete 3
years next week. This is a lot of time in the software development
world. More information available in the usual place:
http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html/package/20
Despite my baby son is monopolizing almost all my free time (I am not
complaining :-) ) I finally made time to clean up Metabase API and
document a OOP API that is alternative to the Metabase* global functions
API, so that now you can use Metabase functions using direct calls to
driver class objects.
This API has always been available but it was never documented because
to enable it, I needed to use a syntax that would break under PHP 3.
Finally I realized that I could use eval() to work around that problem
and Metabase provides this OOP direct to driver function API preserving
backwards compatibility to not affect the applications of those that for
some reason still need to use PHP 3. I know that some people that use
Metabase still have to use PHP 3 and I simpathize with their
constraints.
Anyway, finally OOP fans should have no more excuses for not adopting
Metabase as their PHP database abstraction of choice.
If you thought that typing MetabaseQuery($database,"Select * from zbr");
would make an hell of difference when compared to $db->Query("Select *
from zbr"); you should please now with Metabase with this symbolic
Christmas gift.
Also the performance fanatics should have one less excuse for not using
Metabase for some so claimed significant overhead that Metabase global
functions add to driver function calls.
Soon I will also be adding functions for fetching row data in bulk
contributed by Lukas Smith that is giving up his own database
abstraction package for Metabase, contributing to make the best that PHP
community deserve.
More innovating developments will follow. Enjoy. :-)
Merry X-mas,
Manuel Lemos

Ermmm are we forgetting the sprintf function? That is doing exactly what you
are trying (and succedding) to accomplish
if ($delete && $id)
$sql=sprintf("delete from tbl where id = %d",$id);
Personally I also use a small extra security
if ($delete && $check==md5(<SECURITYWORD> . $delete))
$sql=sprintf("delete from tbl where id = %d",$delete);
This makes sure that the person is using the correct path.

Subject: RE: [PHP] Mommy, is it true that...?
Another way I validate input is by using settype();
For instance:
settype($id, "integer");
I use addslashes and settype on all data coming from a browser that ends
up being using in a query.
(abs will convert negative numbers, which may be what you want, but then
again. <G>)

One thing that I do know is dangerous is deleting rows based on an
integer field with an unprocessed value;
Example: Delete row script
<?
if($delete && $id){
"delete from mytable where id = $id";
}
?>
By simply appending an all inclusive sql clause.
$id = "21421 or 1 = 1";
Ca-Boom! The entire table has been deleted. Don't you feel dumb!
Instead process the input.
$id = abs($id);

Subject: [PHP] Mommy, is it true that...?
2. Please enter your age: 25; drop database mysql
Does this actually work?
I've read at least a dozen articles telling people to get it in their
blood not to trust users and addslashes to any king incoming data, as
well as pass it as strings to mysql ("insert into person set age='$age'"
instead of "insert into person set age =$age).
So I decided I had to test this: I wrote the code exactly as in the
example; I provided the exact dangerous input (well, to be honest, I
tried a select instead of drop mysql). When I tried it, the presumably
dangerous situation degraded into a trivial MySQL error. It went
something like "You have an error near '; select 1+1'".
Did you ever actually try this? Does it work on your system?
Thanks in advance for the input!

By design. Try accessing $HTTP_SESSION_VARS instead. That should work. In
other words, if you were accessing a session variable by $session_var, now
use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['session_var'].

I wonder why something non-empty is considered to be an empty array
element:
===
if ( in_array('pattern', array( 0 ) ) )
print "Got it";
===
I got the true condition. However, after I populate the array with
antries other than 0 and ''
the condition fails.
I think that would not be PHP error. But what's the thing I
misunderstood?
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Try in_array('pattern',array('')) and in_array(1,array(0)). The quirk you
found is predictable, as we know how PHP behaves when converting strings to
integer values... And 'pattern' evaluates to 0 -- '55pattern' for example
doesn't match -- but then again, what kinda word is that? :-)

you mean PHP converts string pattern to integer before apply pattern?
But what's the kind of technique? ASCII?

I see no reason not to consider it to evaluate to 0 the same way:)
Either, you probably mean digits' sense? what kind of?

I found that 4.1.0 is not exactly backwards compatible r.e. the new more
secure variables as I think you have to change one of the settings in
php.ini to get it to work. I've had no real problems running it as a module
under Apache 1.3.20 on Win98.

Hello,
I'm currently trying to code the new PHP way, so register_globals=OFF,
but if I try to do things like
$test = $_REQUEST["test"];
and the variable test is unknown you receive a warning
Warning: Undefined index: test in c:\webserver\test.php
What is the new 'proper' way to import a variable in a script without being
sure it was passed?
(adding a @ to the beginning of the line is not proper you must agree)
Thanks,
Michael

Hi again.
Unfortunatelly, there is not any extra module installed on my remote
server in order to parse XML docs.
Does anybody know a way to parse them or must I try with Perl?

Dear list,
I run a site with php authentication wich works fine
with my IE on Win98.
The authentication is on page 1 and I can see page 2 and 3
also, because the browser remembers my login ...
When I try to do this with the IE on Win2k I can
authenitcate on page 1 but whe I switch to page 2 or 3 the
browser askes me to login again ...
any hints?
ThanX,
Martin

Todd,
I endorse Brian's recommendations. Fetching the installation docs for
Apache is a good idea too. Use "Soothingly Seamless" as the general guide,
adding the switches/modules that seem to make sense based on your reading
of the Apache and MySQL installation docs.
One little quirk. When you install MySQL from source the path to it is
different than when you install it from an rpm. One of them, and I can't
remember which, adds an extra directory layer. But really, go with the
compile from source.
Merry Christmas - Miles Thompson

Hi Todd:
There is an extremely good book for what you need. It's called "PHP: Fast
and easy web development" by Julie C. Meloni (PrimaTech publishers).
The first three chapters cover installation of MySQL, Apache Web Server, and
PHP -- in that order, and with emphasis on configuring them to all work
together. It gives very easy, step-by-step instructions for both Windows
and Linux environment. You can't go wrong with these instructions.
You might find it at a library, or you can always find it in a book store.
Good luck!!!

I'll try to be both concise and precise with this.
I have some PHP code like this:
if (!rename($path_to_file,$path_to_file_BACKUP))
die("$unable_to_access_file_msg $path_to_file_BACKUP");
$buffersize = round(filesize($path_to_file_BACKUP)*1.5);
$fp_in = fopen("$path_to_file_BACKUP","r") or
die("$unable_to_access_file_msg $path_to_file_BACKUP");
$fp = fopen("$path_to_file",'a') or die("$unable_to_access_file_msg
$path_to_file");
set_file_buffer($fp,$buffersize);
fwrite($fp,"hello") or die("HELP!");
fclose($fp);
This works, sort of. It dies with HELP! The rename happens exactly as
required. However, when PHP creates the $fp file, the owner and permissions
are different. I can chmod the permissions, through PHP
(chmod($path_to_file,0777) , but I can't seem to change the owner, using
chown (it says it is not allowed). The original file, before being renamed
and the directory are 0777. After the rename, the old file is still 0777,
but the new file ($fp) is 0644. It appears that the new owner is the root
directory for the server document (in this case 1792=www), instead of the
group. As an example, before the rename, the owner is 1444 as is the group.
When $fp is created, the owner is now 1792 but the group is still 1444 (user
name of the ftp account).
On most systems, this seems to work ok. But on some linux systems, it fails
due to the ownership. The PHP program cannot write to the new file. I'm
hoping that I'm overlooking some minor/major factor here, that someone
will/can point out. How does PHP, or is it the server, get ownership?
I hope this make sense.
Thanks!

The best thing for converting XML to HTML is XSLT (that's what it was made
for). PHP can do the convertion using the XSLT functions (which require
Sablotron):

Hi,
Now that I've successfully built PHP (thanks to Brian Clark) I can no
longer access mysql! I get the following:
#mysql
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)
This has got to have something to do with the way I built PHP. How do I
begin trouble-shooting it?
TIA,
BenO

201 PNCPS FINANCIAL ACCT 10027 3 8.00- 8.50 MWF GSB 400
I have a text file with rows similar to that above. I need to read the data in the
rows into an array. fscanf likes to split the line into elements by spaces and I get
201,PNCPS,FINANCIAL,ACCT etc...
and I need results like
201,PNCPS FINANCIAL ACCT,10027 etc...
data[1]=201
data[2]=PNCPS FINANCIAL ACCT
data[3]=10027
data[4]=3
data[5]=8.00
data[6]=8.50
data[7]=MWF
data[8]=GSB 400
Can anybody provide any help on how to do this?

$delimiter = "\t";
$file = "path/to/file/name.ext";
if($file = fopen($file, "r"))
{
$file_array = file($file);
foreach($file_array AS $str)
{
$new_array[] = explode($delimiter, $file_array);
}
}
now when you are done you will have an indexed array called new_array that
contains your rows broken up into key=>value pairs.

Just FYI - if you use extract($_REQUEST), you're exposed to the very same
danger that exists in register_globals.
You're much better off using import_request_variables(), which allows you
some control over what you put in the global scope.

| JavaScript doesn't implement any kind of one-way hashing. But that's for a

and what about those guys who visit your site, download your page with the
javascript encoder in the source HTML, and finds out how a crypted password
can be decrypted?
I 'm not aware of how the javascript source can be hidden.

Yes. SSL must be developed for reasons of this kind.

Just in case anyone happens to have this problem sometime in the future,
after a lot of testing it seems that it is not necessary to have the line
global $GLOBALS
before you us the '$GLOBALS' array in a function, or a function in a class. You can
just use it.
In fact if you have the line
global $GLOBALS
it doesn't seem to reference the actual '$GLOBALS' array.
This is what I have found to be the case anyway.
If anyone knows why this is, or knows different to what I have just said, please do
let me know, because I would love to
know how
it all works.
Anyway, merry xmas, I'm not doing any of this tomorrow.

I am having a problem creating a version of PHP4 that has IB SS 6.01
included. The HowTo provided by RedHat does not have Interbase listed,
so the closest I I come is there PostgreSQL.
Currently, the IB SS rpm puts Interbase into /opt/interbase. Here are
the instructions in the HowTo
+++
4.Change to the PHP directory, configure PHP with PostgreSQL support
where the PostgreSQL
header files directory is /usr/include/pgsql, install directory
is /usr/local/php4, build and install
PHP:
$ cd php-4.0.4pl1
$ ./configure --with-pgsql=/usr/include/pgsql
--prefix=/usr/local/php4
$ make
$ make install
+++
Using
$./configure --with-interbase=/opt/interbase
--prefix=/usr/local/php4
produces an error: "Cannot find httpd.h" or something close to that.
Has anyone installed Interbase SS 6.01 with PHP4 on a RedHat 7.2
platform?

Hi Ben,
Thanks for your reply. Actually i did find a solution,
and it is like this :
mail($to,$subject,$message,"From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]\nReply-To:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]\nX-Mailer:PHP/" . phpversion());
The quotes could have been a problem so i did remove
them. But the real thing were the Headers in the end.
They work perfectly. Replace the Server Name and also
put in the extra Reply-TO feature!
Thanks again!

Hey all. Im trying out a script that where I can download the contents
of a database as a dump.
On a large database, the end get truncated. ie, there were still maybe
6-7 more tables more till the end out of maybe 100 tables.
The behaviour is erratic. It is not consistent with where the dump gets
truncated.
This is in the file if it means anything.
header("Content-disposition: filename=database.sql");
header("Content-type: application/zip");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
I never used php to download files, before, so I haven't a clue.
Merry Christmas all..

Hi,
Group I've solved this problem myself and for those interested here is
what I did to resolve it.
<?php
include "include_fns.php";
include "header_news.php";
$conn = db_connect();
$pages_sql = "select * from pages order by code";
$pages_result = mysql_query($pages_sql, $conn);
while ($pages = mysql_fetch_array($pages_result)) {
$story_sql = "select * from stories
where page = '$pages[code]'
and published is not null
order by published desc";
$story_result = mysql_query($story_sql, $conn);
if (mysql_num_rows($story_result)) {
$story = mysql_fetch_array($story_result);
print "<TABLE border=\"1\" width=685>";
if ( $pages[code] == "Intro" ){
print "<TR>";
print "<TD>";
print "<H3>$pages[description]</H3>";
print $story[headline];
print "</TD>";
print "</TR>";
}
else {
print "<TR>";
print "<TD width=\"50%\">";
print "<H3>$pages[description]</H3>";
print $story[headline];
print "</TD>";
print "<TD ALIGN=RIGHT>";
print "<H3>$pages[description]</H3>";
print $story[headline];
print "</TD>";
print "</TR>";
}
print "</TABLE>";
}
}
include "footer_news.php";
?>
My orginal problem was that I was using lower case intro and not Intro
what I put into
the database. Which was a stupid oversite on my part. Now this cose will
only create
a <TD></TD> when it sees Intro and not a pair of <TD></TD>. I'm truly
starting to
like php a lot.
