Manual -> Program Execution functions
These functions would allow PHP to call any system command or program. How you
actually create the mail account and set quotas has nothing at all to do with
PHP.

(A) will be faster, generally. Plus it's easier to read and find the PHP
snippets in the HTML, than it is to read an entire page of print/echo
statements. And it'll generally open neatly in a graphical HTML editor,
too.

There is no substitute for good data verification such as strip_tags() or
some regular expressions to limit valid input. I also would recomend
checking the referrer to be sure someone doesn't hijack you form and try to
modify it and submit it from a remote location. Here is an example:
if (validReferrer() === false)
die("invalid referrer");
function validReferrer()
{
$_valid_referrers =
array("www.yoursite.com","www2.yoursite.com","yoursite.com");
$referer = str_replace('//', '/', $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
$ref = explode('/', $referer);
if ( in_array($ref[1], $_valid_referrers) )
return true;
else
return false;
}

HTTP_REFERRER can be spoofed quite easily with some browsers.
The best way to handle this is to provide as much of your own data as
possible, and validate anything you do end up using from the user.
For instance, use your own subject, make sure the To: address comes from
you (a file or database, whatever), etc... Make sure anything coming
from the user, that you put into the headers, subject, from, reply-to,
etc... do not have any line breaks. A simple str_replace or something to
remove them, or pop up an error if they are there, will work.
The less user data you can use the better. It gives them less of a
chance to insert extra headers, which is pretty much the only threat. If
there's a possibility of the email not being shown as plain text, then
you'll want to use striptags() like others mentioned.

That is a good idea.
$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is the web server identifier, right?
My web server is 10.0.0.5 from the internal LAN.
I am hesitant to allow HTTP_REFERERs from 10.0.0.5 because it seems to me that it
would be easy enough to configure a strange box
to imitate 10.0.0.5.
Can I somehow check that the HTTP_REFERER = localhost?

I think you are looking for something different.
do this:
print "<pre>";
print_r($_SERVER);
print "</pre>";
You will see a whole bunch of useful globals. As a matter of fact, try this
one out too:
print "<pre>";
print_r($GLOBALS);
print "</pre>";

No, but thanks, the other input is more towards what I was looking for.
I want to take in an email address, and various other fields. Then, send
an email using 'mail()' with the other fields as the 'body', and the
email address as the 'reply_to' address, to someone in my company. That
way, they can read the submitted information, and then just hit 'reply'
on their mail program when they want to comment on the material.

You didn't say what web server you are using, so I will assume it's
Apache. If your server is configured to allow .htaccess files to
override global settings, you should be able to create one in your
directory and add:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

You need to append or create a .htaccess file in the same folder as
index.html, and add this line:
<Files "index.html">
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
Then, just treat the index.html file as a php file.

Here is an idea
<?
// make array out of words in search string
$search_array = explode(' ', $search);
// make regexp pattern '.*(this|or|that).*'
$string = ".*(" . implode('|', $search_array) . ").*";
$query = "SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE body REGEXP '$string'";
$result = mysql_query($query, $connection);
$res = mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($res < 1)
die("no match for $search");
?>
using this method "car" would match "car", "carwash", "scar", "scarred",
etc.
Since this result will contain the entire boy of text you could some more
matching or scoring for relevancy
<?
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) )
{
$num = sizeof($search_array);
for ($i = 0; $i < $num; $i++)
{
if ( preg_match("/.*\b$search_array[$i]/i", $row[body]) )
{
// it was found so score 25 to start
$score[$row[page_title_or_something]] += 25;
$body_size = strlen($row[body]);
// this is the first case-insensitive occurance of the word
$temp = @stristr($row[body], "$search_array[$i]");
$pos = @strlen($row[body])-strlen($temp);
if ($pos == $body_size)
$pos = 0;
// score higher
$percent = ( ($pos / $body_size * 1000) / 10 );
$score[$row[page_title_or_something]] += ((100 -
number_format($percent)) / 2);
// this is the first occurance of the word by it's self
preg_match("/[^a-z0-9]?($search_array[$i])([^0-9a-z])?/i",
$row[body], $matches);
$temp = @stristr($row[body], trim($matches[0]));
$pos_clean = @strlen($row[body])-strlen($temp);
if ($pos_clean == $body_size)
$pos_clean = 0;
// score higher
$percent = ( ($pos_clean / $body_size * 1000) / 10 );
$score[$row[page_title_or_something]] += (100 -
number_format($percent));
// this is how many times it occured in total
$reps = substr_count($row[body], "$search_array[$i]");
// score higher
$score[$row[page_title_or_something]] += ($reps * 5);
// this is how many times it occured by it's self
$rc = preg_grep("/[^a-z0-9]?($search_array[$i])([^0-9a-z])?/i",
explode(" ", $row[body]) );
$reps_clean = sizeof($rc);
// score higher
$score[$row[page_title_or_something]] += ($reps_clean * 10);
}
}
?>
I had that code from a previous working project. I copied it and changed
some var names to make it more clear. I did not test it in this format but
it is a good example and you could certainly improve it or build on it.

Hi,
This really isn't a PHP issue..sorry.
I'm having a nightmare with Oracle 8i (pos!). I'm writing common SQL
which works for MSSQL 2K and seems correct for Oracle... but keeps
giving me a Error.. ORA-00933 SQL command not properly ended on the
following query...
SELECT grp.grpdescrip, grp.grp, grp.createcust, grp.auth1, grp.auth2,
usergrp.userid, users.userdescrip
FROM grp
LEFT JOIN usergrp
ON grp.grp=usergrp.grp
LEFT JOIN users
ON usergrp.userid=users.userid
ORDER BY grp.grp
The error keeps pointing at the first "LEFT JOIN". Anybody know why?

The web server can be run by any user.
The 'nobody' user is usually used since it has no login capabailities.
'nobody' can't login and hence has no home.

Does anyone have a regular expression that works to validate credit card
numbers?
Mike
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
I'm using a regular expression (below) to check phone numbers. I'm getting
an error that I can't make sense of.
$regex = "^((\(\d{3}(\) -))?*\d{3}(- )\d{4},?*)+$";
Output I'm getting =
Warning: REG_BADRPT in /home/basemen/public_html/verify_order.php on line 28
Anyone know what this means? I know it's not bitching about the phone
number, it's bitching about the expression. But why? Some thing wrong with
the expression? It works fine in PERL, which this is supposed to be
compatible with.

I'm trying to get an uploader to work, where you check to make sure it's a
jpeg file that's being uploaded, and no other files allowed. the server is

Any help would be appreciated.

deadsman,
if (($filename_type != "image/jpeg") && ($filename_type != "image/jpg") &&
($filename_type != "image/pjpeg")) {
header("Location:submitError.php"); exit; //goes to an error page if the
file wasnt a jpg
} else {
$upload_path = "/path/of/the/$filename_name";
if (is_uploaded_file($filename)) {
Exec("cp $filename $upload_path");
} else {
//do whatever if it wasnt uploaded
}
The "file" formfield, is called filename.. just in case... if you call it
myFile, you'd have to replace $filename with that.
Hope this helps.

I'm making a website for a friend, and trying to do everything the right
way. I want to add slashes to EGPCS values. I know how to use this,
but one of the comments on the get_magic_quotes_gpc entry in the manual
points out that it wouldn't work with arrays in these values - and they
have a point. Does anyone have code that works with arrays in EGPCS
values? Thanks.

If you are using php v4 you can do this with show_source(), or if using
apache, you can configure it to serve source code with syntax highlighting
rather than parsing the code.

Do sessions not work when using an https connection? It seems I'm losing my
data between pages.

Mike,
I have used them with https, and they work fine. Make sure you are calling
session_start(); on every page you need your session vars.

If you are changing domain names when going to https you will lose the
session info if relying on cookies. You will have to hard code the
session id in the url if this is the case.

I am working on a web site that is using php controled www-
authenticate authentication. User ids are specific to users and
different pages and different levels of information for a given page
will be displayed based on the user id used. The problem is how do
you log out without having to quit all browser sessions. Anyone
doing this? Care to share code that makes it work?
