Re: register_globals in php4
you must write your application safely. it sounds like you're trying to
prevent a user from changing their userid. after they log in, you could
create a session variable with their userid and only use that session
variable. i still use register_globals=on with my code, but i have the
following code that gets included on every page:
if(!session_is_registered('userid') {
unset($userid);
}
and in my login function, after username and password are verified, i
put the userid in $userid and session_register('userid');
this allows me to always trust that $userid matches the userid of the
authenticated user.

Re: register_globals in php4
one of the php lists is probably a better forum for this question, but in short, register_globals=off means that if you want to use the "id" variable passed in the query string by the browser, you would access it as $HTTP_GET_VARS['id'], or $_GET['id'] in 4.1+, rather than $id. more info at http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php xn On Fri, May 10, 2002 at 12:09:22AM +0800, Patrick Hsieh wrote: > Hello list, > > php4.1 recommends to set register_globals=off in php.ini to make php > more strict.

Re: log the original source ipaddress
i'm not familiar with rinetd, but if you use netfilter to do dnat the source address will be maintained. just make sure internal boxes hit the webserver directly, on the internal ip, rather than through the external one so they don't get confused by packets coming back directly from the web server. something like this should work: /sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d $EXTIP --dport 80 \ -j DNAT --to-destination $WEBSERVER:80 /sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d $WEBSERVER --destination-port 80 -j ACCEPT xn On Wed, Apr 10, 2002 at 11:01:25AM +0700, N.
