Re: [PHP-DB] Displaying Password - orale...
Hi Karl, I did some search and found Zend Studio for MAC 5.5. it's $299, but thats a goal at least. Just so you know I fully empathise with both yours and Daevid's situation - you'll probably find a lot of people on this list are in the same boat, as am I. Anyway just a hint - I bought my first Mac in September and I'm never turning back but that's a conversation for another day. The one thing I thought was missing that I couldn't match on Windows was a decent IDE - for both PHP and C++ (my two main freelancer languages.) However someone on this list pointed me in the direction of what I thought was a Java IDE - NetBeans. It turns out it's a damned-fine C++ and PHP editor. It handles code completion of LARGE projects (4,000+ files) ten times faster than others - Zend Studio and Eclipse, and Komodo for instance. Plus it's free :) http://netbeans.org/features/php/index.html I used Zend Studio when it was a stand-alone Java application then switched to PhpEd but unfortunately that's Windows only. I've also tried Eclipse but couldn't get to grips with it. However I feel NetBeans is such a stronger contender than any of these - straight from the word go I just got on with it. Re: the certification - I'm looking at doing a Zend course next year for nothing more than to try and get PHP recognised as a professional skill - I've been programming in it since 2002. I don't know of any other companies that do PHP qualifications, but as Zend is the PHP company anyway they probably mean more :P Hope this helps you anyway.

[PHP-DB] Displaying Password
Hello List,
Hope your all ready for the Holidays, I know I am. :)
I have a situation where I want to display a users password as
bullets instead of the actual password characters once read from the
database.
I feel there is a better way than what I am doing. I am trying
str_replace() with a for loop to loop throuth how many characters and
replace each with a bullet when displaying.
Like this:
$replace_count = strlen($UserPassword);
for ($i=0; $i strlen($UserPassword); $i++) {
$UserPassword = str_replace('a', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('b', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('c', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('d', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('e', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('f', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('g', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('h', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('i', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('j', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('k', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('l', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('m', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('n', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('o', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('p', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('q', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('r', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('s', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('t', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('u', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('v', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('w', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('x', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('y', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('z', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('1', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('2', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('3', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('4', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('5', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('6', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('7', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('8', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('9', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
$UserPassword .= str_replace('0', '#8226;', $UserPassword,
$replace_count);
} //hide pasword
But I keep getting a paramiters error for str_replace.
Warning: Wrong parameter count for str_replace() in blah, blah, blah
Doesn't strlen return a number value?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can't be serious with that. You should try The next code:
$UserPassword = str_repeat(#8226;, strlen($UserPassword));
Enjoy. (I hope that you are not a programmer)

Re: [PHP-DB] Displaying Password
Hi Rick,
Yes you are correct. I do not store a plan text password.
The conversion code is so they cant read the encryption either.
If you cant read the encrypted text, you cant decrypt it right?
Thanks for your response.

(or some other like-minded approach).

Re: [PHP-DB] Displaying Password
Hi Karl, Yes you are correct. I do not store a plan text password. Great stuff - so many systems I've seen use plain-text passwords it's little wonder there's so much data theft. If you cant read the encrypted text, you cant decrypt it right? Wrong. There are two-way encryption methods requiring the use of a common key, and an initialization vector for some protocols - see the mcrypt library which PHP can use (I had a play around with it quite recently.) http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.mcrypt-decrypt.php Regards, Andy -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] Displaying Password
Hi Andy, Sorry, I guess I should have explained better. I was speaking about what comes up on the preview page for the information. I wanted the passwords to display as bullets so they could not see the encrypted text, nor be able to copy the text and try it in any decryption process if they happened to get to that page where the information can be displayed.

Re: [PHP-DB] Displaying Password
I see. Good point.
Forgive me with my noob approach.
I am creating my first database and I guess I was just thinking of
how to get everything to work first then though well I can't have
the passwords be visible.
I would probably have eventually came to the same conclusion,
so you all may have saved me a load of unnecessary work.
But thank you for the tips on string conversion.
Every little bit helps.

when a user enters their password you pass that to your back-end
where you encrypt it and test it against the one-way hash that's
stored in your db. if it matches, fine, if not you reprompt/reject.
but throughout, the stored hash never sees the light of day and the
hash of what the user enters is only in the back-end. there's no
reason for any version of a password (user-entered string, hash of
user-entered string, hash of stored pw) to be on any page that a
user can view (rendered or source). that being the case, there's no
need to be playing obfuscation games.
if you have a preview page and you don't want the user to see any
version of the pw there, then don't put it there. if you convert it
to some form of blanking, then there's nothing for them to preview
anyway, so don't waste the effort.

Daevid, Just so you know. Your site does not work on a MAC.

Guess I should have kept that question to myself and dove into the manuals a little more, but didn't think I would get crucified for asking help. Everyone has to start somewhere and no one knows everything when they start. Let me apologize. I didn't mean to chastise you specifically. That is why I removed the names from the email. And I also did jump in late to the thread, I was under the impression that the big block of code was what someone else had suggested as a solution to an OP's question. I didn't realize it was your code you were trying to ask the list about. Just so you know. Your site does not work on a MAC. It actually does work on a Mac, just not in Safari ;-) I'm aware of this, and unfortunately, it's a defunct JavaScript library that is causing the issue. The library to do those fancy windows is all written in German and then minified, so debugging it is just a nightmare I don't have the time or care to dig into for a browser that is 4% of the market ( http://marketshare.hitslink.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=0 ) Definitely not on Safari and your menus on Firefox (but some things work on Firefox) All of it should work in Firefox. I use Firefox on Ubuntu and XP (as well as IE6, IE7 and IE8) What doesn't work in Firefox on the Mac? Not sure if your are particular to PC or LINUX. Yes, I am. I bought a Dell Mini9 and hackintoshed it since several friends/fanboys of mine kept extolling the virtues of the mighty OSX. I really WANTED to like OSX. But aside from looking pretty, I found it too dumbed down for me. I like more control over my OS, and when I press the 'DEL' button on a file, well, it damn well should 'DELete'. ;-) Just FYI. Me.. I am an entrepreneur and don't have a lot of money, As am I. so I must learn things on my own to keep my business growing. Understood and empathize. Would love to go get the degree, but that is some time away. In the mean time I have to get this created. Just out of curiosity, does my site work on your system? I believe so. It loads and does a few things. Not sure how much is completed or not to say what it's supposed to do or not do... Also, I saw some of the things you worked on. Nice work. Thank you.

Re: [PHP-DB] Displaying Password
David, If you ever have a question, don't hesitate to ask. Same to anyone. I may have already ran across the problem and found a solution, who knows. I have a feeling I will have more questions than any of you but I digress.. Thanks for the complement. I try not to get into knock down drag outs on email lists. I save that for the bars :)) Besides, I feel their pain. So many people think they can build flash sites (that is what I do) and I miss out on a lot of jobs because like many, I have relied on placement agencies. Another reason why I am building this. ;) Blessings to you, - Karl DeSaulniers The best people in the world are the ones who help each other make it turn. After all, where all here together.

I am creating my first database and I guess I was just thinking of how to get everything to work first then though well I can't have the passwords be visible. I would probably have eventually came to the same conclusion, so you all may have saved me a load of unnecessary work. But thank you for the tips on string conversion. Every little bit helps. Hi Karl, I was wondering, since you are new at programming PHP/MySQL, maybe you and I could learn together. I've been learning for a little over a year, and just thought it might be helpful. By the way, you handled yourself well when some of them started flaming you and don't let them discourage you. -- Blessings David M.

Everyone has to start somewhere and no one knows everything when they start. Let me apologize. Accepted. :) I didn't mean to chastise you specifically. That is why I removed the names from the email. And I also did jump in late to the thread, I was under the impression that the big block of code was what someone else had suggested as a solution to an OP's question. I didn't realize it was your code you were trying to ask the list about. No problem, I enjoy blunt answers to questions. I've had enough sweets in my life, I dont need anymore sugar coating. Just caught me off guard. And yes unfortuantely, that was my code. But that is why I'm here ;) Just so you know. Your site does not work on a MAC. It actually does work on a Mac, just not in Safari ;-) I'm aware of this, and unfortunately, it's a defunct JavaScript library that is causing the issue. The library to do those fancy windows is all written in German and then minified, so debugging it is just a nightmare I don't have the time or care to dig into for a browser that is 4% of the You sure about this number, I mean there is now safari on all iPhones as well and they have a BIIIG market. No matter. market ( http://marketshare.hitslink.com/browser-market-share.aspx? qprid=0 ) Definitely not on Safari and your menus on Firefox (but some things work on Firefox) All of it should work in Firefox. I use Firefox on Ubuntu and XP (as well as IE6, IE7 and IE8) IE does not love us MAC people anymore, boo hoo :P Nothing ever worked in it when it was on MAC anyways, so goo ridden. Hell, its one of the only browsers I know that HAS to have special code written (in almost any dynamic site) that will make it work on IE. Too much work to do for a silverspoon application. I would rather force people to download Firefox or Safari. (On my own projects of course) What doesn't work in Firefox on the Mac? The menus were the worst thing when I looked in Firefox, but the main panels and the nav to the left worked. It was the top that was a little screwy. Might have been a CSS thing. Not sure if your are particular to PC or LINUX. Yes, I am. I bought a Dell Mini9 and hackintoshed it since several friends/fanboys of mine kept extolling the virtues of the mighty OSX. I really WANTED to like OSX. But aside from looking pretty, I found it too dumbed down for me. I like more control over my OS, and when I press the 'DEL' button on a file, well, it damn well should 'DELete'. ;-) Well you can do that by pressing the apple button + delete. Just FYI. Me.. I am an entrepreneur and don't have a lot of money, As am I. so I must learn things on my own to keep my business growing. Understood and empathize. Would love to go get the degree, but that is some time away. In the mean time I have to get this created. Just out of curiosity, does my site work on your system? I believe so. It loads and does a few things. Not sure how much is completed or not to say what it's supposed to do or not do... Also, I saw some of the things you worked on. Nice work. Thank you. (I see your serious about your recruiter comment now) Yes. They bug the shit out of me. If you want them to stop. Call them every day about jobs.
