That's true, and it is what most people do, but if you think about it the
session ID is then functionally equivalent to a crypt'd password for the
duration of your session; that is, either one allows you access to the site.
So if you were worried about folks sniffing an encrypted password and using
it to log in, you should be equally worried about folks sniffing a session ID
and using *it* to log in.

Again, "It's not perfect, but I don't think anyone has come up with a better
way."
It's called session hijacking, and it is a great reason to use SSL. However,
there's still the issue of cross-site scripting, which can really only be
prevented by smarter coding.
Even then there are issues. For example, holes in ie's SSL capabilities
(including a current, unpatched vulnerability- well okay it was patched but
M$ managed to re-introduce it in more recent patches...), permit undeteted
MITM attacks.

And about two lines down from that warning you'll see this:
Build complete.
(It is safe to ignore warnings about tempnam and tmpnam).
As this build note was added in PHP 4.3.2 because too many bogus
bug reports and support questions were coming up about this
warning. There is also a faq about this warning:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.build.php#faq.build.mysql.tempnam

Don't know about 4.3.2, but at the end of 5.0-dev make, the following message

This is what I used that is relevant:
--with-png-dir=../libpng-1.2.5/ --with-zlib-dir=../zlib-1.1.4/ --with-jpeg-
dir=../jpeg-6b/ --with-gd
of course, the paths for libpng, zlib and jpeg will probably be different
for you.

!! Configure PHP with Interbase with apxs

35 ./configure --with-interbase=/opt/interbase --with-apxs=/usr/sbin
36 ./configure --with-interbase=/opt/interbase

Hi,
I have a registration form, but I would like to add a Date of Birth section. Now,
because of the different formats of writing it I want to have 3 seperate drop down
boxes, Date, Month and Year.
However, I then want those 3 dropdowns to go into one field in a mySQL database, in
DD/MM/YYYY format.
How can I acheive this, in simple language as I'm a newbie to this stuff ^_~

have 3 select boxes bdMonth, bdDay, bdYear.
Then when processing the $_POST, simply contact them in the format you want.
$bdString = $_POST['bsMonth'].'/'.$_POST['bsDay'].'/'.$_POST['bsYear'];

I'll add to what the others have already said. As was already mentioned, you
need to create three dropdown fields for the birthdate: year, month and day.
I do this by setting up arrays for each field that offers valid date
choices.
$year[2000] = 2000;
$year[2001] = 2001;
$year[2002] = 2002;
etc...
$month['January'] = 01;
$month['February'] = 02;
$month['March'] = 03;
etc...
$day[1] = 01;
$day[2] = 02;
$day[3] = 03;
etc...
I use these arrays with a simple function to set up the dropdown form
elements that stores the selected results in another array: $realdate. When
the form is submitted, I simply stitch the date together into a valid MySQL
DateTime format of YYYY-MM-DD using the values stored in the $realdate
variable...
$realdate['year']."-".$realdate['month']."-".$realdate['day'];
This would insert the date as: 2003-05-21

Hi
I have been trying to get to know the imap functions for checking pop3 email
account with php. i have had absolutely no luck. just cant get the script to
connect to the server.
here is a sample:
<?php
$mbox = imap_open ("{mail.hot.ee:110}", "pop3testing", "testing");
if(!$mbox){echo"offline";}
else{echo "online";}
imap_close($mbox);
?>
it just loads and loads.... doesnt even give an error. could somebody please
look into it and see whats wrong. the account on hot.ee actually exists
(un:pop3testing, pw:testing). it is an estonian free e-mail service
provider. supports pop3 and the server should be mail.hot.ee, because
outlook checks e-mails from mail.hot.ee without any problems.
help please :)
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
My english is bad, but see the code:
$mbox = imap_open ("{localhost/pop3:110}INBOX", "user_id", "password");
The only way I could open a IMAP or POP3 conection into my server is, I hope
it helps you$MAILSERVER="{mail.midominio.cl:110/pop3/notls}"; //Para POP3
$MAILSERVER="{mail.midomino.cl:143/imap/notls}"; //Para IMAP$mbox =
@imap_open ($MAILSERVER,$user,$pass) or die ("No abrio");
----- Other Complete Example For Imap ------
$mbox = imap_open ("{localhost:143}", "username", "password");
echo "<p><h1>Mailboxes</h1>\n";
$folders = imap_listmailbox ($mbox, "{your.imap.host:143}", "*");
if ($folders == false)
echo "Call failed<br>\n";
else
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($folders))
echo $val . "<br>\n";
echo "<p><h1>Headers in INBOX</h1>\n";
$headers = imap_headers ($mbox);
if ($headers == false)
echo "Call failed<br>\n";
else
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($headers))
echo $val . "<br>n";
imap_close ($mbox);
And you can look the manual, but this code is from the manual, have a loot
of examples ;)

Shouldn't the correct suntax for pop3 be:
$mbox = imap_open ("{mail.hot.ee:110/pop3}", "pop3testing", "testing");

To correct myself ...
I believe you actually require the INBOX attribute as well.
$mbox = imap_open ("{mail.hot.ee:110/pop3}INBOX", "pop3testing", "testing");
if you still have problems you might also try (explictly request non-SSL connection):
$mbox = imap_open ("{mail.hot.ee:110/pop3/notls}INBOX", "pop3testing", "testing");
Hope that helps.

Me and a friend have been trying to make a php ftp client, it works fine on
*nix systems, but not on Windows. We looked at everything, until i finaly
noticed that php 4.2.3 is missing in the php.ini the extension=php_ftp.dll
line. The actualy file in the extensions dir is missing as well.
So where did it go? and where can i get it? can anyone send it too me? I was
unable to find one on google. Or is there a reason its gone?
Thanks

"The windows version of PHP has built in support for this extension.
You do not need to load any additional extension in order to use
these functions."
Also, consider using PHP 4.3.2

I'm confused. Do you literally mean an FTP client that is
written in PHP (thus requiring PHP to be installed on each
client machine)?
Or do you mean a PHP generated HTML-based page, delivered
to the client's browser, that interfaces with an FTP server?
Or maybe you mean a PHP page, delivered to the client's
browser, that triggers FTP transactions between your PHP
server and a remote FTP server and then passes the result
on to the client. (That would be termed a proxy, I presume.)

I have found that to make sure it works with all browsers you want to put
quotes around the filename in the content-disposition header.
header( "Content-tpye: application/zip" );
header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"yourfile.zip\" );
readfile( "/path/to/yourfilname.zip" );
the reason I say this is because without the quotes, some browsers insert
a "[1]" or something similar without them.

Hello,,
I have a preg_match issue matching numbers. I am currently using
!preg_match ('/([0-9\-\.\#:])/', $_POST['nums1']
throw error[]
This fails if you use something like ' asdf ' but if you use ' asdf789 ' it passes
false and does not throw an error.
This is not the obvious solution.... I know its a problem in my regular expression.
Should I ONLY be using
' /([0-9])/ ' , ?
Thanks in advance.

I don't understand what it is you're trying to accomplish, so, it's hard to
offer a solution. If you just want to verify whether or not a variable
contains numeric data, why not just use the is_numeric() function:
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.is-numeric.php
preg_match() will return TRUE if it finds the pattern ANYWHERE in the
string, so, that's why "asdf789" passes the test because it contains digits,
whereas 'asdf' won't pass the test because the numbers 0-9 can't be found
anywhere in that string.
If you want the entire string to be tested for digits, you need to add the
length of the string to the regex pattern:
$length = strlen($data);
preg_match("[0-9]{$length}", $data);

I had no idea their was a is_numeric function(). Ill check it out. Its
probably a lot better to use then trying to preg_match()/
Many thanks

Are you wanting the $_POST['nums1'] to have only numbers, -, ., #, : ????
Is this what you are trying to match. if so, try this.
if ( preg_match("/[^0-9\#\:\.\-]/", $_POST['nums1']) ) {
throw error()
}
This will match anything that is not a number or one of the other special
chars that are in the pattern to be matched.
Therefor, if it does find anything that is not in the pattern to be matched
it will return true and then it will enter the if statement instead of
skipping over it.

Hello All and Thanks in advance.

I would like to define HTML code in XML and be able to get the HTML code using PHP.
I was hoping for a simple example.

Hi there are a couple projects done in php to go around these problemes
however it will cost you on performance.
Here are a couple projects you might want to look into (I never used
them, but since the book XML and PHP talk about them i guess they are
good proejcts)
eZXML (an alternative to PHP/Dom)
PHP.XPATH http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxpath/
PHP XML RPC http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxmlrpc/
NuSOAP http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap/index.php (befor it was named
SOAPx4)
There must be other projects also but i dont know them.

I have a member site that uses sessions. People who have their browser
cookies turned off, however, cannot use our site. I read somewhere that to
avoid this, I'd have to manually append the PHPSESSID var to every URL when
redirecting in a script.
Is this really the best or only way to avoid this problem? Or, is it simply
unavoidable? Right now, I tell users that the site will only work with
browsers that have cookies turned on, but, I'd rather the site was
accessible to all. However, I also don't like passing session IDs via the
URL because of the security risk.
Any suggestions??

I have a database full of links. I need to write a script to go to each one

What is the simplest approach to this? Do I need to use CURL functions or
remotely open the page with fopen? A pointer to the right place in the

Do you have any comment on this?

Hi,
I would like to decrypt data encoded with GnuPG without including the

fputs($fp, $passphrase);
pclose($fp);

I assumed that the fputs() function would write the passphrase at the
prompt, but that doesn't seem to be the case - the command does not
create the output.txt file when ran by the PHP program (which is running
as a CGI under my user BTW) while it works when ran from the shell.
Any idea why?

Hello all,
I'm currently working on a site for my brother-in-law. I have written a
script that will access a website
(http://www.remax.nf.ca/listings.asp?a=163&cp=1) and pull the page into a
variable ($var). I have striped the page down to include only the listings
(still in HTML and table format).
Sample...
HTML FORMAT: (view source for html code)
http://205.251.209.142/temp/listing.html
HTML STRIPPED:
"276A Conception Bay Highway $260,000.00 0 Bedrooms, 0 Bathrooms View

Bathrooms View Details Old Track Road $59,500.00 0 Bedrooms, 0 Bathrooms
View Details Page 1 of 3 Previous | Next"
What I want to do, is to be able to work with this data. I don't want to
keep it in the same format as it's on the original site.
I would like to be able to pull the listings and it's components separately
so that I can change the layout, color, size, font, etc, etc, etc.
Also, under the html format, there are links to other sites and pictures
that I would like to be able to pull as well. I would need to be able to
know which listing the link and/or picture was for as not all listings will
have a picture.
If anyone can help, It would be greatly appreciated. I have been pulling my
hair out trying to find a way to do this. I've been studying regular
expressions, however am not familiar enough with them to be able to get it
to work.
Thanks in advance,
