Re: [PHP] OT- Private Registrations is bogus
FOR THE RECORD: I (spud who really is at nothingness.org) did NOT post this original message to the list, despite the apparent sender address (and the authentic signature at the bottom). Even the message-id header was forged to appear to have emanated from my server (whose logs I checked, to be sure it hadn't). Funny thing is, I haven't been subscribed to this list from that address in weeks, having moved all my subscriptions to spudlists(at)nothingness.org. I'm not sure the original SMTP envelope is anywhere to be found, but I'd love to see it and find out who's been posing as me. In any case, I can spell something correctly, and in general I believe my grammar to be better than this... So caveat lector...someone IS spamming this list, but it isn't me... Cheers, spud.

We now offer Private Registrations. What is a private registration? A private registration allows you to shield your personal information from the WhoIs database when registering a domain while retaining the full benefits of ownership. With a private domain registration, you keep your personal information private. This process is new and so unique that it is supported by two patent applications. The way it works is simple: -Domains By Proxy(TM), a sister company of WORXdoamins, becomes the registrant of record for any new, existing or transferred domain name you designates. -The WHOIS database is then populated with Domains By Proxy's contact information, not yours! -Domains By Proxy becomes the registrant of record for any domain name. -Domains By Proxy's proprietary registration and e-mail handling systems even let you elect whether or not to receive postal mail or email Best of all, you still retain the full benefits of ownership! You can cancel, sell, renew or transfer your domain names; set-up name servers for the private domain name; resolve disputes involving the domain name; and more.

[PHP] How to obtain unique XML Elements
Anyone have a simple technique for obtaining a unique list of elements from an XML file? Am looking for something that will identify the first opening tag ie thistag and the single tag anothertag/ so that I get an array of tags that I can print out. Having a bit of trouble with regex to get something to work. Basic idea I had is to open file, read through each line with regex, add matches to array, and then do unique elements of array and write to another file.

I think this needs changing:

into
if(!isset($WINDIR) !@unlink($userfile))
Also, this would only work if you had register_globals on.
Mind if I ask which book did you copy the example from?

Re: [Fwd: Re: [PHP] Some error in file upload.]
Naif,
I think your problem is related to register_globals. The authors of the
book probably based their scripts on a version of PHP that had that
option turned on by default, but as 4.2.0, it's been turned off as it is
usually considered a security risk. So, either use the superglobal
arrays (like $_POST) to access your HTML form variables or turn
register_globals on in your php.ini file.
Cheers,
Marco

Re: [PHP] echo'ing array contents through reference variable ... why doesn't this work???
Hi @ Edwin,
On Fri, 22 Nov 2002 12:34:35 +0900, you wrote about Re: [PHP] echo'ing
array contents through reference variable ... why doesn't this work???
something that looked like this:
This is my test code:
$premieredag =
array(2002-11-22,2002-11-29,2002-12-06,2002-12-18);
$d20021122 = array(001);
$d20021129 = array(002,003,004);
$d20021206 = array(005,006,007);
$d20021218 = array(008,009);
for ($i = 0; $i count($premieredag); $i++) {
echo(td class=\date\ width=\15%\);
echo date(j. F Y,strtotime($premieredag[$i]));
echo (/tdtdnbsp;/td\n);
echo(/trtr\n);
$pdag = d.str_replace(-,,$premieredag[$i]);
for ($n = 0; $i count($$pdag); $n++) {
It seems like $i would always be TRUE here, no?
Just guessing...
DOH! Of course ... totally missed that ... thx
But then ... why doesn't it pull the data correctly from the array???
Now I just get this:
td class=date width=15%22. November 2002/tdtdnbsp;/td
/trtr
td colspan=2 class=filmtxt/td
/trtr
td class=date width=15%29. November 2002/tdtdnbsp;/td

/trtr
td colspan=2 class=filmtxt/td
/trtr
td colspan=2 class=filmtxt/td

td class=date width=15%6. December 2002/tdtdnbsp;/td

Shouldn't
echo($$pdag[$n]);
be able to pull the string contents of the array? Or is there some extra

The manual, atleast haven't found it, doesn't say anything about using
referenced variables at all, and definetely not with arrays...

RE: [PHP] using cookies
Ken Do *not* use hidden form statements or cookies to store any SQL this is extremely dangerous and a relatively simple hack could destroy your database completely! By all means use hidden form fields to store row ID values but your PHP scripts should treat all user input data via $_GET/$_POST/$_COOKIE/$_FILES as hostile and you should be rigorous in validating that data coming into your script is as you would expect... Having said that it seems your server has magic_quotes_gpc() switched on - this automatically escapes all incoming data that could upset a SQL query i.e. the quotes - you can remove them by using stripslashes() or switch off magic quotes in your php.ini file. But I would repeat *don't* continue down the path you are going unless you like being hacked!

RE: [PHP] Using Ping (was: using cookies)
I took the liberty of changing the subject of your e-mail because this way everyone can follow it better. Well, you can execute the ping command directly from within PHP and then parse its input. For example: ?php preg_match (/([0-1]) received/, shell_exec (ping -c 1 -w 2 www.phparch.com 2/dev/null), $a); if (count ($a) $a[1]) echo success; else echo failure; ? This will work only under Unix, but you can very easily adapt it to whatever os you need, as long as it supports pinging from the command line.

Re: [PHP] Re: Php search results]
I wrote this function to fetch a news item off another web page but with
a little modification it should work for you. To use it you needed to
identify a set of of strings in the source to use as anchors ($start,
$end) and then it pulls that section and crops off the anchor text so
you are left with just what you wanted.
?
function get_item($url, $start, $end) {
global $item;
if(!($fp=fopen($url,r))) {
echo $url. is not accessable;
exit;
}
while(!feof($fp)) {
$item.=fgets($fp,255);
}
fclose($fp);
$start_position=strpos($item, $start)+strlen($start);
$end_position=strpos($item, $end);
$length=$end_position-$start_position;
$item=substr($item, $start_position, $length);
}
echo $item;
?
Soemthing like this might work for you:
?
$results=search results;
$keyword=search string;
$startposition=strpos($results, $keyword)-200;
$endposition=strpos($results, $keyword)+200;
$length=$endposition-$startposition;
$item=substr($item, $startposition, $length;
echo $item
?

Re: [PHP] grabbing data from a site
Try this function, Ijust wrote it for the same purpose. You just need a
unique string in front of the stuff you want, and one after it. You
can usually get a string of code on either end that will do this. The
function will open the URL, find the anchor strings you told it, then
strip them away leaving only the text/code that was in between them
?
function get_item($url, $start, $end) {
global $item;
if(!($fp=fopen($url,r))) {
echo $url. is not accessable;

If the target is in well-formed XML (XHTML is an example), you could use
XSLT
to say 'i want the third column of a particular row - in this instance,
Melbourne'. However, since few people actually adhere to standards, you're
probably going to need a regex... if you're not comfortable with them,
explode() could be useful (although it is slower)
Somebody posted an extremely helpfull little quick reference at
php.net/ereg,
i think... that might help you.

Re: [PHP] dynamic arraynames
Floyd,
if you are using mysql then you can use the mysql_list_fields to get the
names of the mysql table's column (field) names, then do mysql_num_fields to
get the number of columns (fields), then fill the columns with whatever
using a while loop.
I've attached a php page that fetches this info from any size table then
displays the table. You can extract the info you need and extend it with
check boxes etc.
Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] using cookies
--- Ken Nagorski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have never used cookies before, however I am trying to implement them to make things a little more secure. Rather than passing a sql statement via a hidden input tag I am setting a cookie. I think someone else already mentioned this, but let me emphasize that this is a terrible idea and definitely does not make things a little more secure. The best analogy I can think of for a cookie would be handing out name tags to people who visit your site. Imagine that you write the following SQL on someone's name tag: select * from foo where unique_id='12345' This helps you distinguish them from the next person who may have a unique identifier of 23456. While this might work for those who play by the rules, you are placing a tremendous amount of trust in these people. What if someone erased what you wrote on their name tag, replacing it with this: delete from foo If you were to trust this person's name tag the next time you saw them, you would delete all of the data from that table. In addition to this, hidden form variables are just as bad. It is a different method, but you are still basically sending something to the client and just trusting the client to return exactly what you sent. Placing so much trust in the client is never a good idea. I would recommend abandoning these methods for anything that you, as you say, are wanting to make more secure. Look into using sessions instead. When you use sessions, the only sensitive data you trust the client to return to you is PHPSESSID. While there are some dangers associated with this trust, it is a more tolerable risk. When you set a session variable, it is kept safely on the server, so it is at least much less convenient for an attacker to alter this data, because only you can do that. I hope this helps you get started down the right path. There are methods you can use to further mitigate the risk of trusting the client's PHPSESSID, but that can be discussed later.

[PHP] Parse URLs
I have a simple post script and I want to make it so if a user types in a URL of some sort, to change it to make it clickable. How could I do that?

Re: [PHP] Parse URLs
not entirely sure what is going on there, but if the user is entering the url in a html form. Then just grab the variable on the next page and run this $url=user $HTTP_GET_VARS[url]; (or $HTTP_POST_VARS depending on your form method) $url=a href=.$url..$url./a; echo $url; the only way to change it dynamically on the same page would be javascript. -tom culpepper Stephen wrote: I have a simple post script and I want to make it so if a user types in a URL of some sort, to change it to make it clickable.

[PHP] getting mysql dump using php
hi, can anyone tell me how to make auto backups of mysql databases? i have a particular database that i want to backup everyday. what i can think of now is to use crontab to execute a .php that will do the work, then send the db schema (dump) via email every midnight. however, i do not know the code to GET THE DUMP of the mysql db. i know that i can be done because phpAdmin from sourceforge.net has the export feature, which does what i want, except that i cannot execute the hyperlink there using crontab. can someone tell me: 1. what is the php code for getting the schema? 2. what is an alternatively BETTER way to backup? thanks in advance Yours sincerely, See Kok Boon - looking for - jobs? career? customer? look in realPortal! http://realportal.realizecreations.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] getting mysql dump using php
Answer is No. 2) Use cron to run the mysqldump utility instead of a php script. Let me know if you need more info.

[PHP] Secureing PHP.
Hi, I am looking to secure my php install, like the settings in php.ini etc. I am using apache 1.3.27 and running latest php. Is there like a tut or something that can take u thought the php.ini and explain ina little more detail? safe_mode = Off is that a bad idea or should i leave it on.. /Steve -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Secureing PHP.
hi, you should try to take the php.ini-recommended and edit it a little bit so that it fits your needs. the settings there are very secure but also increase php's performance and coding standard. if some settings won't fit to a single script, you can use ini_set(..., ...). so you'll have to disable the output_buffer if you need implicit_flush. and you safe_mode question.. sorry i never played around with it ;) bye On Sun, 24 Nov 2002 17:41:20 +1100 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Steven Adams) wrote: Hi, I am looking to secure my php install, like the settings in php.ini etc. I am using apache 1.3.27 and running latest php.

Ok, please forgive my ignorance, but in PHP isn't $_COOKIES the same as
$_SESSION?. I thought it was if the user had cookies turned off (and
even if the user had cookies turned on come to think of it) ... If not
I'm in trouble.
I was always under the impression that $_SESSION vars were passed as
cookies ...
