Subject: [PHP] GD 2.0.28 + PHP 4.4.2 + pixelation :(

Hi All,

I have done some searching via google and some answers say change
copyimageresampled to copyimageresized etc 

I have tried all fixes ... to no avail


I have one image here 1280 x 960 (150 dpi) 24 depth

When using the following it pixelates ... 

function createthumb($name,$filename,$new_w,$new_h)
{
$system=explode(".",$name);
$src_img=imagecreatefromjpeg($name);
$old_x=imageSX($src_img);
$old_y=imageSY($src_img);
if ($old_x > $old_y)
{
$thumb_w=$new_w;
$thumb_h=$old_y*($new_h/$old_x);
}
if ($old_x < $old_y)
{
$thumb_w=$old_x*($new_w/$old_y);
$thumb_h=$new_h;
}
if ($old_x == $old_y)
{
$thumb_w=$new_w;
$thumb_h=$new_h;
}
$dst_img=ImageCreateTrueColor($thumb_w,$thumb_h);

imagecopyresized($dst_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0,$thumb_w,$thumb_h,$old_x,$old_y);
imagejpeg($dst_img,$filename);
imagedestroy($dst_img);
imagedestroy($src_img);
}

Which I am of course calling with
createthumb($add,'../pics/'.$largeval,350,263);

Now ... afaik my new sizes are proportional to the big ones ... but it
pixelates :(

However,

Using an image 1600 x 1200 (96 dpi) 24 depth it works and there is no
pixilation

Can someone perhaps assist now?

Subject: Re: [PHP] Simple PDF manipulation

Yeah, this is exactly what we do at my work.  We have a license for PDFLib
and essentually we load blank forms and then say take this text and position
it at this location.  Kind of like putting words on a clear piece of acetate
and overlaying it on top of a piece of paper.

If I recall, we had issues trying to do this with fpdf and some other PHP
PDF libraries, but PDFlib allowed us to do it and it's what we've used ever
since.

Actually, tedd.. did you use PDFlib or another library or maybe something in
PHP5 (that we don't use yet)?  We may be moving off of PDFlib at some point
and I may be looking for alternatives.  This is the main function we need.
Ignorant question, but I havn't even thought of researching it yet and
figured I'd ask while the topic was at hand.

Interesting, that's a good idea. I was not aware that it was possible  
to load an existing PDF into memory and then add stuff to it.

[PHP] Chocked

[Peter Lauri]

I was chocked when I got my additional dedicated server from my server
provider. I assumed everyting would have been the same as I ordered the
server with same package name etc. The chocking part was that the server had
PHP5 and not PHP4.

 

Ok, it is not a hard piece of work to get it working, but one thing stunned
me :-)

 

Assuming that I have the following structure:

 

/index.php

/classes/first.class.php

/classes/second.class.php

 

Index.php:

 

include_once("classes/first.class.php");

 

 

first.class.php

 

include_once("second.class.php");

 

 

This worked fine, but this time I get an "open dir" error. Is this something
that is new to PHP5 for this, or do I just need to config the server to
accept this "sloppy" including of files?

 

Best regards,

Peter Lauri

RE: [PHP] Re: Chocked

Hi,

I got it working before the post, but I was just curious if there were any

Subject: [PHP] Re: Chocked

I think this is correct:

Let's just assume for a minute that in your index.php you echo out getcwd();
Output would be / (only an example)

According to that you do the following include:
include("./classes/first.class.php");

If you were to echo getcwd() after the include in the first.class.php it 
would output /

You would then have to include your second class (inside the 
first.class.php - correct?) as:
include("./classes/second.class.php")
to make it a "correct" include without PHP having to search the 
directories for the include.

Give that a shot.

Johannes

Try:

$string_as_array = explode("\n", $string);

print_r($string_as_array);

The array that you get will contain segments of the string that is separated
with \n. Let me know if that helps.

Subject: [PHP] help with \n\r in strings

Hi all,

I receive a text file with a whole bunch of strings. and each line is 
terminated by what I presume is \n\r however when I read the string into 
PHP, it seems that the last column of the row and the first column of 
the next row are connected but it appears as a space but I've done all 
kinds of tests like $spacePos = strrpos($dateAmount, ' '); but this is 
always empty.

So is there a way to test for \r\n? or what else can I use to delimit 
these two values (last column of row and first column of next row)?

Thanks in advance.

Hi gang:

I've asked this request on a couple of other list, but considering 
that I've done this with a mixture of php and javascript, perhaps 
some of you might check this out for me.

Try this:

http://sperling.com/js_detect

Does this technique work to detect your browser's javascript setting?

Also, if you change your browser's javascript setting, please restart 
your browser before rechecking the link.

If this works well enough, I'll post the code.

Thanks.

PS: I wrote this simply because I couldn't find an acceptable PHP 
"Javascript detection" solution. If anyone knows of something better,

Are you trying to read cookies that are not set by your host? If that is the
case you will probably be disappointed. The purpose with cookies is that
they should only be table to be read by the one who is setting the cookie.

If you want to read cookies on the machine that you are able to view just:

RE: [PHP] Pushing a file to the browser

Hi,

I assume that you mean you want to send the file as
application/octet-stream. Take a look at this:


ob_start();

$path = 'path to directory where file resides';
$filename = 'the name of the file';

ob_end_clean();

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0"); // set expiration time
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
$filesize = filesize($path.$filelocation);
header("Content-Length: $filesize");

echo file_get_contents($path.$filelocation);



You could also use fread() or similar if the file is larger.

Let me know if it helped.

RE: [PHP] File reading code2

[Peter Lauri]

This just dumps the content to the browsers. You could use file() instead if
you want to loop thru every line.

$file = "test1.txt";

if(file_exists($file)) {
if(is_readable($file)) {
if($file_content = get_file_contents($file)) {
echo "";
echo $file_content;
echo "";
} echo "Something went wrong";  
} else echo "Cannot read the file '$file', check permissions";
} else echo "The file '$file' does not exist in this directory";

You should learn how to read the manual, because in the end we will not do
this kind of things if it already is in the manual.

Have you tried to catch (echo) the query you try to execute in mysql and

I saw that you in your code did all in one row. Separate it to:

$Query = "your query";

echo $Query; //Use this in phpMyAdmin or any other MySQL administrator and
see if the query is correct. If you get matches there your code should be
fine.

$Result = mysql_query($Query);

I don't know what version you are using or what plugin you are using, there

To be clear: I am using Eclipse 3.1 with PHPEclipse 1.1.8 and that is
working very well. It does auto complete classes and functions written by my

I tried some other PHP plugin for Eclipse, and that one behavied like you

RE: [PHP] __construct __destruct in PHP 4

[Peter Lauri]

Hi,

Yes I have been reading both sections and is aware of the different sections
for PHP 4 and 5. I was just hoping there was something missing in the manual
for PHP 4 as I'd love to have a __destruct method to work with. There are
other solutions around this. Basically I just want to make sure that the
objects that have a save() method are saved correctly before they are
destroyed. With PHP 4 I just need to do this "manually". I could probably
just write a cleanup function that will be executed in the end of each
scripts that checks if objects have a save() method and then executes that
one. Or better: Check if there is a method __destruct() existing and use
that when cleaning up. Then it would be forward compatible with PHP 5 as
well :)

In PHP 4 the constructor has the same name as the class (like C++). See
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.constructor.php

There is no destructor in PHP 4.

RE: [PHP] __construct __destruct in PHP 4

[Peter Lauri]

Of course __destruct (in php5) is not meant to be called by "userland" (as
you called it). I just want to make sure all objects are stored as they
should when a script ends. This kind of wrapper method is of course "lame"
as you called it, but it would do what I need it to do, thought it is lame
:) This is just to "simulate" something that is missing in PHP 4 and that I
as a standard am working with. To close down database connections etc are
not the purpose at this stage for me as PHP will take care of these
resources by it self.

Ok, back to Sunday afternoon programming :)

alternative:

have each object register itself with a 'stack' and register a shutdown
function
which automatically calls the save() method of each object in said stack...
be careful to always using the 'reference' operator.

I wouldn't bother to try and make it php4/php5 compatible - the reference
operator
of itself will make sure that you have to change the code for php5, besides
that __destruct()
is not 'meant' to be called by userland code - and as far as I can tell it's
a bit lame (there is no garanteed order of destruction so you can't rely on
other object still
being around and IIRC [somebody correct me if I'm wrong please] things like
DB connections
are also gone by the time __destruct() is called - the same goes for access
to STDIN, STDOUT, etc.

[PHP] OT - Regular Expression

[Peter Lauri]

Best group member,

 

I want to match a four digit number. I allow user to enter with * syntax. So
8* would match anything that starts with 8 and is 4 digit long so:

 

/^8[0-9]{3}$/

 

That was easy. Ok then my other case was: *8, so anything that ends with 8

 

/^[0-9]{3}8$/

 

Ok, now the tricky one comes: *8*, so match it incase 8 is anywhere in the
number. Can be beginning, end or in the middle. The problem that I face I
cannot find out a good way of doing this correctly. So I ended up with an
expression like this:

 

/^(8[0-9]{3}|[0-9]8[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{2}8[0-9]|[0-9]{3}8)$/

 

This takes care of it and everything, BUT it is so ugly. What I actually
need to construct is: A regular expression that checks if 8 is a part of the
number, and then that it is four digit long.

 

The pipe "|" is an OR operator, but are there not any "AND" operator in
Regular Expressions? I have been trying to figure this out for a while now.
Of course I am using the above syntax right now, but would like to strip it
down. Maybe not for the performance, but for the beauty of it :-)

 

If you have any comments and suggestions about this I would be happy. 

 

Best regards,

Peter Lauri

Why not use two checks? One that checks for 4 digits, the other checks

[/snip]

Of course that is a possibility. But I wonder if there is a way to do it
with ONE expression. So there are no AND operator in Regular Expressions
then I assume.

/^([0-9]{4}&[0-9]{0,3}8[0-9]{0,3})$/

That would be nice :) But now there are no AND operator :*(

This is the basic problem of regular expressin parsers, and you are
trying to write something that has the same behavior (if different
syntax).

This shouldn't do too much backtracking, try it out:

"*8*" => /^(?:\d*8\d*){4}$/

> So I ended up with an expression like this:

The regular expression "abc" matches "a" AND "b" AND "c".  Sort of.
There's also lookahead and lookbehind assertions.

Sometimes you can get fooled by the result. If nothing is changed on a

RE: [PHP] Quick organizational question...

[Peter Lauri]

Hi,

No matter the size of a project using includes and config files are always a
good way to go.

In the include file I would (as it states) include all main files that are
common for all pages. Such as a DB class (if common), template classes, etc.

In the config file (or you can call it define file) I would define all
constants that might be used. Such as:

define("ROOTDIR", "/wherever/your/webroot/is");
define("CLASSDIR", ROOTDIR . "/classes"); //not the best way, I usually keep
my classes out of the webroot
define("DB_HOST", "localhost");

Or you can have a txt config file config.cfg

ROOTDIR /wherever/your/webroot/is
CLASSDIR [ROOTDIR]/classes

And then you just have to read and parse that with a general define script
:) Something like this (don't have the code here, so I try it anyways).

[PHP] Catch STDERR

[Peter Lauri]

Hi,

I am executing exec('some cool command', $stdout, $exitcode);

That is fine. I get what I in the beginning wanted. However, now I need to
catch the STDERR that the command is generating as well. Some of you might
tell me to redirect STDERR to STDOUT, but that is not possible as I need to
use the STDOUT as is to automate a process.

I know I can do fwrite(STDERR, 'Output some error\n');

So could I fread(STDERR, SOMESIZE)?

Is there anyone with experience of best way of doing this? Should I maybe
use proc_open or something similar and then write it to a file, and then
read that file? Hrm, doesn’t make any sense to do that.

him executing rm -rf / as root and then complaining that the machine was
slow when he executed it, and then he disappeared from the IRC... I wonder
why? :)

you could instead use the proc_* functions to do this. However, seen as 
those are pretty complicated and were not available in most php versions 
ran by most hosts, a lot of people had to come up with  other ways 
around it. The most used way is indeed what you described. A simple:
$t = tempnam();
exec('/bin/SomeCommand 2>'.$t);
$stderror = file_get_contents($t);

is what most scripts seem to use currently

Hi , I am having problem with log in and log out . I have a main

exit();

else if ($accesslevel == "user") {
$_SESSION['level'] = "user";

unset ($_SESSION['level']);
echo "Error :$error";

so after login user is directed to the corresponding page.

The problem is that when some user is logged in to the user page
or admin page, at the same time if i want to login to the user
page from other computers , it lets me login but after that
whatever link i click in userlogin page, takes me back to login
page. And i have to log in to userpage and click on log out and
then it will work.
its quite strange and i dont know why it is acting like this.
Also in userlogin page i am have a link to other page which i am

Do you really need to use an RPM package to install a PHP on FC. Why not
"yum install php" instead... and for any extension you might want you just
install that as well "yum install php-gd" as example.

Hi,

I'm building an simple CMS system. I have built almost everything but 
one thing buggs me...

I have a MySQL database built for publishing news 
(Id,title,newsContent,timestamp).

And I have a php web page that displays that content. The problem is 
with the charset, in the database the settings are following:

character set latin2 collation latin2_croatian_ci;

and in the tables character set utf8;

I display the data in the php page using utf8 I see all the non-PHP 
content pure HTML content capable of seeing croatian letter čćžšđ, but 
in the news section I only see čćđ. But they are on the same page!

I tried putting other HTML charsets like iso-8859-1,iso-8859-2 etc...
But in all the scenarios I get the HTMl part working but PHP not working 
vice-versa...


Please help me it is a very important web page if you need any other 
information just ask!

Thank you very much in advance!

RE: [PHP] Catch STDERR

[Peter Lauri]

[snip]

Do you need STDERR to go "out" to, err, wherever it goes, *AND* get it
into your PHP script?

Perhaps 'tee' (man tee) would let you do that.

Or do you just need STDOUT in one variable, and STDERR in another,
both in PHP?

I think you could do something in shell to re-bind STDOUT to some
other file/pipe, and then run your cool command...

$tmpfile = tmpfile(); //I always get this one wrong.
exec("rebind 2 $tmpfile; some cool command', $output, $error);
$stderr = file_get_contents($tmpfile);

It's probably not called 'rebind' but I know it's some shell command
that does this.

Possibly shell-specific, so you may even need to wrap the whole thing
in a 'bash' call.

Another option is to try to write a .sh shell script to get what you
want for STDOUT to go where you want, and THEN just call that script
(which has 'some cool command' at the end) from PHP, and let the
weird-o shell stuff be done in a shell script, and not clutter up your
PHP code with a complex shell script setup/tear-down.

[/snip]

I'd like to get STDERR into one variable in PHP and STDOUT into one. This so
that when we execute a script and there is an exit code different from 0 I
want to show a log of error/notices during the script. Actually I want to
show the whole process if it fails so 2>&1 for exit code not equal to 0.

I'll probably end up writing a patch for exec now :)

Hi Steve,

Yes that would be an option. But then I need to put the username and
password (alternativly ssh2_auth_hostbased_file). Hrm, will think about it
for a while. I might try it out.

My speed requirements aren't really restricted as it is run on a local
network and no dense traffic.

I will either use this or redirect STDERR to a file and read it from there.

What are your speed requirements? You can use the ssh functions can
ssh2_exec into yourself. You can get the error stream separately
then...

After the connection is open, it is basically as fast as exec. But
there is a hit on connection. I wouldn't use this in webpage
environment, but I do use it for CLI admin applications. I use it to
run a stream of commands to many servers simultaneously.

Include path and include() function is different things.

Include path: this is paths where PHP will look for files tried to be
included if it doesn't exist in script directory. If you do
include("afile.php") and afile.php doesn't exist in the same directory as
where your script that is calling the include is. Then it will first look in

.
/include
/usr/lib/php

Hi,
   I am making an eshop and I am thinking about caching system.

You understand, that it cannot be entirely cached because visitor has 
it's own shopping cart etc.

So, my thought is to cache only few blocks like "Categories", 
"Navigation menu" etc. by storing it to an HTML file.

The advantages are that it doesn't have to query database and generate 
the HTML code again, but my question is: Is it good approach? Shouldn't 
we optimize database instead of restoring the data on harddrive?

Thank you for ideas,

Not sure, but I don't think you should escape all those characters inside of

And the - you should have in the beginning of the character class, otherwise

[PHP] exec from process (deamon) without shell

[Peter Lauri]

Hi,

 

I have a very complex script that is being called by a running deamon that
doesn't have any shell. To simplify it I make this script, that is also
failing:

 

#/thepathtophp



 

This code give the exit code -1 that is equal to that "ls -lrt" could not be
executed. 

 

Running this from shell give correct result. 

 

Executing it from a web page (thru apache) gives correct result.

 

But the "shell less" deamon is giving the -1 exit code.

 

Is exec requiring a shell? Any workaround on this? I will play around, maybe
something like system() or passthru() will do it, but I haven't tested that
yet, want to get some feedback first.

 

Best regards,

Peter Lauri

[Peter Lauri]

The thing is that the commands are executed as they should. I have tested to
give full path "/bin/ls" and that gives the same result.

BUT the exit code is -1 still. Not 0 as when running it from command line.

PHP also uses a mini non-shell thingie to run exec.

As such, it has no home directory, no $PATH (or is it $path) and not
much of anything.

Provide the FULL PATH to 'ls' and your test script should work fine.

By extension, you need the FULL PATH to everything file-system-related
in your real application.

You also need to be aware that YOU run as, well, you, and PHP runs as
some user defined in httpd.conf (for Apache module) or
IUSER_ for IIS (unless you re-configure) or as, errr,
User in httpd.conf for CGI, and then, ummm, for FCGI, you're going to
have to research that one.

You may also want to dump out implode("\n", $stdout) just in case it
has useful messages.

You could also consider sending stderr (2) into stdout (1) so that any
error messages are captured.

See thread from last week on this one.

If by some chance performance is an issue (probably not) then you may
want to benchmark this end-to-end with 'ab' compared to echo
implode("\n", $stdout)

I'm not making any prediction either way on this, just noting a simple
alternative worth exploring if performance IS an issue.

This invariably indicates a path/permissions difference between you
logged in as YOU, and PHP running as some other user in a totally
different environment/shell.

exec doesn't require a shell.

It has some kind of minimal shell already, I think.

But it's definitely not the same full-blown shell you use when you
login as YOU.  (well, probably not, unless you're a shell masochist
minimalist. :-)

It is a much more complicated logic, so therefore I am not using a shell
script. I will examine how perl acts on executing the same commands and if
that is catching 0 as error code I might move to run perl instead.

This to replace all non-digit characters with ""

$string = preg_replace("/\D/", "", $string);

And this to replace all non-character characters with ""

$string = preg_replace("/\W/", "", $string);

Hi,

Assuming you are on a linux you could try:

exec("find /the/path/to/the/place/where/you/should/start/searching -type f
-name 515515515*.ext", $files);

Then the $files will be an array with the found files matching the search.

RE: [PHP] Show Filename using Wildcards

[Peter Lauri]

Just do something like:

$fileswithoutdir = array();
foreach($files AS $file) {
$fileswithoutdir[] = basename($file);
}

Voila...

Or you could do it more complicated in the foreach loop (but not
recommended):
$fileswithoutdir[] = preg_replace("/^.*\/(\d+\.vox)$/", "$1",
$file);

You are echoing stuff before sending the file that is not possible. So
remove the echo and it should work. If not, try this for debugging:

if(!is_readable($full)) echo "the file $full is not readable by apache";
else {
//same as before
}

[PHP] Getting PHP CLI on machine without compiling or changing the other part of the system

[Peter Lauri]

Hi,

 

In a current project we have developed a piece of software that run
independently and that only requires php5 as a CLI component.

 

Now we want to use this software on other machines, and the only requirement
it that the machine has php5 installed. Fine for now, but then we have
started to get request from clients to use this on their machines, as they
need our software there. Then we informed them that we need to compile php
on their machine. But due to the sensitive machines that they have, they
rejected that idea. So now we need to find a way to have PHP5 on the
machine, without compiling it on their machine and changing their
environment.

 

So is there any nice solution with php pre compiled and that the files are
just in a tar ball or similar, so that the php cli can be used?

 

Best regards,

Peter Lauri

Using array_pop wouldn't do it, as it just removes the last element.

You could use unset() for the rows you don't want to keep.

Stut,

You are correct. PHP can be used in much more extent, but my tiny box where
I use PHP has never touched that area though :) I did truly enjoy the
continuing of the thread, because I learned that PHP is much more then a Web
Server Scripting Language :)

If there's one thing I hate it's needless pigeonholing. PHP is not a 
"Server Side Scripting Language". It is a scripting language for sure, 
but is by no means limited to being used on a server never mind on a web 
server.

As to the OPs question, assuming you are aware that PHP cannot control 
anything on the client-side if used on a web server, and assuming you 
are talking about a Windows-based machine, you will probably find there 
are COM objects you can use to control scanners. From the PHP side check 
here: http://php.net/com. For the actual interface to scanners I suggest 
you Google.

Sounds like a fun project, enjoy.

No, because you don't OWN them, therefore you have no right (either

questions on this list is, well, pretty dumb.

The global array $_COOKIE should hold any cookie which is available to you


Yes, but that is just for the ones available for me. Like Google, they set a
cookie if you click on one of their "adwords" ads and then use them in the
tracking of the customer conversion.

Cookies like this are interesting to use. One of my clients want to track a
little deeper the "adwords" and the conversion of them, and to get that
cookie would be awesome.

But I am loosing hope that it can be done now :)

You have essentially three pages:
  one that displays a form and inputs the entered data to a database;
  one that gets a list of questions from the database;
  one that displays a specific question/answer pair.

As a ballpark estimate, I'd say that the above should be possible in
under 100 lines of PHP code.

You are looking at creating a Question class, an Answer class and a
Visual/List class.  The net result being that you double the number of
PHP files and considerably increase the amount of code, there isn't much
opportunity for code reuse here.

Now, if the objective is to play with php OOP then go ahead.  I would
even suggest a DB class, a TableRow class, the Question and Answer then
inherit from the TableRow, a TableRows class from which your List class
would inherit.  Maybe throw a few in to control the templates etc. as well.

If the objective is just to get the job done and the site out, I don't
see why you should bother with OOP at all.

[PHP] GD to database directly

[Peter Lauri]

Best group member,

 

I am creating images via GD and want to save them to the database. Right now
I save them to the disk and then save them to the database. Is it possible
to write them directly to the database and skip the middle step where I
temporary write it to the hard disk?

 

Best regards,

Peter Lauri

 

 

 

RE: [PHP] GD to database directly

[Peter Lauri]

[snip]
1. Do not store images in a database, it is just a bad idea from a
performance perspective (as has been covered many times heretofore). 
[/snip]

Is that really the case? Is this not depending on the application? :) My
application will never grow, and I can easily just change the file storage
procedure by changing in my file storage class if a change will be
necessary.

[PHP] Setting cookie on one domain for an other domain

[Peter Lauri]

Best group member,

 

When a user does a specific action on domain1.com I want a cookie to be set
so that domain1.com and domain2.com can reach it. Ok, after reading the
manual for setcookie() I tried this:

 

setcookie("thevariable", "thevalue", time()+60*60*24*30, "/",
".domain1.com");

setcookie("thevariable", "thevalue", time()+60*60*24*30, "/",
".domain2.com");

 

However, I can not detect the cookie at domain2.com.

 

A solution would be to just make a redirect to the other domain where the
cookie is set and then return.

 

Question is: Can I not set a cookie at domain1.com to work at domain2.com?

 

Best regards,

Peter Lauri

 

 

RE: [PHP] jpg to pdf using fpdf

Correct me if I am wrong, but do fpdf allow jpg? I think you must convert to
PNG or GIF and then use that image.

FPDF allow jpg.
take a look at ttp://www.fpdf.org/en/doc/image.htm
" Supported formats are JPEG and PNG. "

This is code how it works for me:

$pdf =& new FPDF('p','pt','a4');
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->Image("pdf/profilechart.png",145,$pdf->GetY());
$pdf->Output("pdf/temp/thepdf.pdf",'F');

Add the $pdf->AddPage(); and it might work :)

RE: [PHP] jpg to pdf using fpdf

[Peter Lauri]

Check the FPDF function in the manual http://www.fpdf.org/en/doc/fpdf.htm, I
think you can set custom size of the PDF. You have to figure out how to get
the image size first, hint: getImageSize();), and then convert it to the
units you use for the pdf.

Yes you can...

Just make sure that thelocation has permission to write for the web server.

Weetat,

You can sort the blank fields to the end simply by forcing their 
evaluated values in your usort callback function:

   function cmpcountry($a, $b)
   {
 $country1 = $a['country'];
 $country2 = $b['country'];

 if ($country1 == '') $country1 = "zzz";
 if ($country2 == '') $country2 = "zzz";

 return ($country1 < $country2) ? -1 : 1;
   }

...or, using ternary syntax:

   function cmpcountry($a, $b)
   {
 $country1 = ($a['country'] == '') ? "zzz" : $a['country'];
 $country2 = ($b['country'] == '') ? "zzz" : $b['country'];

 return ($country1 < $country2) ? -1 : 1;
   }

Paul

[PHP] All active variables?

echo '';

[PHP] SQL injection

[Peter Lauri]

Hi all,

 

I saw some strange error messages from a site when I was surfing it, and it
was in form of SQL. I did some testing of the security of the SQL injection
protection of that site, and it showed it was not that protected against SQL
injections. To show this to them, I deleted my own record in their database
after finding out the table name of the "entity" in the database. I also
found out a lot of other that I think is important table names.

 

What I did to them was to report this to them, and inform them about the
damage I created, and what could have been done. (I did DELETE FROM
tablename WHERE id=1234, what if I did DELETE FROM tablename, destruction if
no backup). This is a large "athletic site" in Sweden, with more then
100,000 daily visitors.

 

What I am a little bit worried about is the legal part of this; can I be
accused of breaking some laws? I was just doing it to check if they were
protected, and I informed them about my process etc. I only deleted my
record, no one else's. In Sweden it might have been called "computer
break-in", but I am not sure.

 

Anyone with experience of a similar thing?

 

Best regards,

Peter Lauri

 

 

 

RE: [PHP] SQL injection

[Peter Lauri]

Thank you all for your replies; it has been interesting to read. I am just
waiting for the webmaster to reply to me with his thoughts.

My intentions for this were to help, not to break, so I do indeed hope that
they will not take legal action for it. A friend of mine hoped that they
would use the law against me, it would just increase the publicity for me,
and that might increase the value of my services. And he was also sure that
they would never win the case.

I was for a while thinking about using my "private" yahoo email to not
disclose my name, however, that felt like "hiding for something you did not
do".

One at the forum sent me an message off the list and said: "You got bigger
balls than me. :-)", what did he mean with that? I did not know that the php
list also shows the web cam at the same time. "I better watch out"...

Best regards,
Peter Lauri
