I don't see where you set $page. And I'm betting that you don't.
Variables are not persistent from one page-load to the next.
try adding this line in here:

[PHP] Sessions and multiple windows
Hi List I am afraid that this is going to be a long complicated question. And to start off with I have RTFM, STFA, STFW - and have yet to find the answer I am looking for - unless, perhaps I am asking the wrong question? But back to the subject - I have an app that allows users to open multiple windows to perform certain tasks. Even though the user has multiple windows, from the point of view of the app it is classified as a single session. For this app I have an object stored in a session variable that I use to administer logins, permissions etc. - call it $_SESSION['policeman']. This object stores information that is common to all windows (e.g. path to common error logging, current user id etc). A simpler version fo this app did not allow for the opening of multiple windows and I needed to check if the user was logged in every time he/she went to a new page. I did this by putting a call to the checkLogin method inside $_SESSION['policeman']'s __wakeup method. Then , every time PHP unserialized $_SESSION['policeman'] it checked for the login. I would like to do a similar thing with the more complex apps, but i do not know enough to be sure that it won't cause a problem and to be quite honest, I am not even entirely sure how to test it. My problen lies in a scenario such as this: User clicks through to page_3.php from page_2.php. Page_3.php starts, unserializes $_SESSION['policeman'], and begins a lengthy SQL query that will take a few minutes to complete. The user wants to do something else so he\she opens a new window for page_9.php (at this point page_3.php has yet to complete). Now, the question is, what will PHP do when it starts with page_9? Will it unserialize $_SESSION['policeman'] again, even though it already has an unserialized instance of $_SESSION['policeman']? If it does unserialize, does that mean that it creates a second instance of $_SESSION['policeman'], thereby breaking the common link that I am trying to provide? I hope someone will be able to point me in the right direction...

[PHP] Magic Quotes Issue
Hi,
I have been investigating the problem of apostrphes in a mysql insert /
update. I use a db_query function for all my queries:
function db_query($query) {
$qid = mysql_query($query);
return $qid;
}
It appears after some research that the best way around the problem is to
check whether magic_qoutes_gpc is off and if so use addslashes(). I have
altered the function to this:
function db_query($query) {
if(!magic_quotes_gpc()){
$qid = mysql_query(addslashes($query));
} else {
$qid = mysql_query($query);
}
return $qid;
}
But this adds too many slashes! Has anyone come to a better solution
regarding this?

Basically, this is a that's not how it works answer. The fundamental point you have to realise is that every php page is completely independent, and nothing you can do in one can directly affect anything in another (even if they use the same script to generate their output). The ways of sending information from one (invocation of a) script to another all use some external medium: POST or GET variables, a SESSION, a database, or COOKIES. Of these, only the database is purely server-side; the session very nearly is, maintaining only the session id client-side; whilst GET, POST and COOKIES all involve a full round-trip to the client. (On the client side, of course, you can use JavaScript to affect multiple windows, but that has nothing to do with server-side PHP.) So the answers to your specific questions are: yes, page_9 will unserialize again (because it knows nothing of the page_3 instance -- whatever the it is you're thinking of that already has an unserialized instance, it doesn't exist); and yes, a second, completely independent, instance will be created, because there is no such common link in the way you appear to be thinking of it. Another kicker is that only one script can access the session data at any one time -- in your scenario, page_9 will stall at session_start() until page_3 releases the session lock. This will be at the end of the page_3 script, unless you explicitly release it earlier with a session_write_close(), for example. If you do this, and the page_9 script starts before the page_3 script has finished, you will have two, completely separate, local instances of $_SESSION['policeman']. Cheers!

Re: [PHP] searching with mutable criteria
An easy way to fix that problem would be to, instead of checking every
time if one of the others also is not empty would be to do something
like this (havn't tested this code, so no guarantees there's no
typos).
$sqlCondition = ;
if($_POST[state] != || $_POST[types] != || $_POST[county] != ) {
if($_POST[state] != ) {
if($sqlCondition == ) {
$sqlCondition .= SELECT * FROM listing WHERE state
= '$_POST[state]' ;
}
else {
$sqlCondition .= AND state = '$_POST[state]' ;
}
}
if($_POST[types] != ) {
if($sqlCondition == ) {
SELECT * FROM listing WHERE types = '$_POST[types]' ;
}
else {
$sqlCondition .= AND types = '$_POST[types]' ;
}
}
$sqlCondition .= LIMIT . $from . , . $max_results;

Do the same thing for all of your conditions, and that should fix your error...

You can define your own session handling functions with and override PHP's default session handling with session_set_save_handler(). One of the functions you would define would be the garbage collection function. Once created you can call this function whenever you like. I wrote a drop-in replacement for PHP sessions that gives you what I just described, it uses MySQL: http://destiney.com/pub/php_db_sessions.tar.gz There's also the database abstraction layer ADOdb which gives you callback functionality in garbage collection: http://adodb.sf.net/ The db driven, encrypted and bzip'd sessions are pretty nice too. -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer http://gdconsultants.com/ http://destiney.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

TidyHTML is supposed to be good at that. Never actually tried it, but
John Coggeshall's presentation a few months ago at the Chicago PHP User
Group meeting was pretty compelling.
If you only need a few small bits of information from web pages whose
format doesn't change often, you can maybe get it done really fast and
easy with http://php.net/explode.
I've scraped a lot of stuff that way myself.
You simply have to search the HTML for a distinctive tag that is unlikely
to change often and is shortly before the content you want.
Then use http://php.net/explode with that tag. For example, on a site
with calendar events, you might use:
?php
$file = file('http://example.com/');
$html = implode('', $file);
$parts = explode('td class=event_date', $html);
while (list(, $event) = each($parts)){
list($date, $speaker, $description) = explode('/td', $event);
//Prepend td because we stripped it off in 'explode' 3 lines above
$date = strip_tags(td $date);
$speaker = strip_tags($speaker);
$description = strip_tags($description);
//Double-check the data as a valid date,
//maybe even speaker/description as non-empty
//and either log error or insert to your database
}
?
MOST sites with content you want to scrape on a routine basis are pretty
predictable. CSS classes can be particularly useful to find the right
bits you want to scrap.
Occasionally I run across one where it's hand-edited and completely
unpredictable -- and usually not worth scraping, in my experience.

If you do *NEED* the results of the half-hour of work, then you're kind of stuck waiting for it to finish, aren't you? You *could* transfer the 'policeman' (and other) settings in $_GET or $_POST and put them into new sessions, but that would be much more confusing than just using the PHP function to indicate that you have finished all your session work, and are now just delivering content to the user.

Re: [PHP] Sessions and multiple windows
Now, the question is, what will PHP do when it starts with page_9? Will
it unserialize $_SESSION['policeman'] again, even though it already has
an unserialized instance of $_SESSION['policeman']? If it does
unserialize, does that mean that it creates a second instance of
$_SESSION['policeman'], thereby breaking the common link that I am
trying to provide?
page_9 does not have an unserialized instance of anything.
It is completely independent of page_2.
The $_SESSION variable is being shared, however, in some sense.
Probably the best solution here is to *NOT* store the unserialized
'policeman' in $_SESSION.
Set up a second array for your unserialized stuff, and write a function to
get/set it.
function get_session_data($field){
global $_UNSERIALIZED;
if (!isset($_UNSERIALIZED[$field])){
$_UNSERIALIZED[$field] = unserialize($_SESSION[$field]);
}
return $_UNSERIALIZED[$field];
}
function set_session_data($field, $value){
global $_UNSERIALIZED;
$_UNSERIALIZED[$field] = $value;
//$_SESSION[$field] = serialize($value);
}
You can either write a function you call at the end of every script to
serialize everything and put it into $_SESSION, or you can un-comment the
line above. Depends how much you shuffle in and out of serialized data.
Bottom line: Don't confuse $_SESSION values by sometimes having
serialized data, and sometimes not in it.

Do you allow the $ to be in it? Cuz MySQL sure won't take that. Very common mistake. Are you checking mysql result for error in your INSERT and UPDATE statements.

Re: [PHP] Sessions and multiple windows
Richard Lynch wrote:
Now, the question is, what will PHP do when it starts with page_9? Will
it unserialize $_SESSION['policeman'] again, even though it already has
an unserialized instance of $_SESSION['policeman']? If it does
unserialize, does that mean that it creates a second instance of
$_SESSION['policeman'], thereby breaking the common link that I am
trying to provide?
page_9 does not have an unserialized instance of anything.
It is completely independent of page_2.
The $_SESSION variable is being shared, however, in some sense.
Probably the best solution here is to *NOT* store the unserialized
'policeman' in $_SESSION.
Set up a second array for your unserialized stuff, and write a function to
get/set it.
function get_session_data($field){
global $_UNSERIALIZED;
if (!isset($_UNSERIALIZED[$field])){
$_UNSERIALIZED[$field] = unserialize($_SESSION[$field]);
}
return $_UNSERIALIZED[$field];
}
function set_session_data($field, $value){
global $_UNSERIALIZED;
$_UNSERIALIZED[$field] = $value;
//$_SESSION[$field] = serialize($value);
}
You can either write a function you call at the end of every script to
serialize everything and put it into $_SESSION, or you can un-comment the
line above. Depends how much you shuffle in and out of serialized data.
Bottom line: Don't confuse $_SESSION values by sometimes having
serialized data, and sometimes not in it.
Thanks Richard, Mike and Jason
I think I will need to sit down and sift through all the gen you guys
have given me, and decide which solution works best for me.

Re: [PHP] Random data loss.
I think I need to give more details. The data loss happens somewhere
between the form post button press and the data being inserted into the
DB. It is a simple sql insert statement on a table with auto increment
keys. The price should be entered as a floating point number and that
is what my user who had the problem happen did. 34.72 in one case. The
price that ended up in the DB was zero. I tried to see if maybe there
was a mistake by putting in two periods but that just makes it store
34.00 instead. I tried spaces around the numbers and that didn't have
any effect. In every case where this has happened the user was able to
use the web form for modifying the data and changed the price back, post
the form which then executes an update sql statement and that corrected
the data.
The only thing I can think might be the cause is the data is actually
stored in 2 tables. The first table, Gift, stores the basic
information about the Gift you want and the second table, Vendor,
stores the information about where to get it as well as the price. I am
including the the queries below. A quick not the Gift table is a double
key table on UserKey and GiftKey and the Vendor table is a triple key
table on UserKey, GiftKey and VendorKey. It was set up this way to
allow a one to many relationship between Gift and Vendor, however at
this time the relationship is always a one to one.
$query = INSERT INTO Gift Values \n('$UserKey', NULL, '$Description',
'$Qty', '0',\n;
$query .= '$Manufacturer', '$ModelNum', '$InfoURL', '$ImageURL',
'$Category',\n;
$query .= '$Priority', '$AddDate', '$ExpireDate'\n);
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(! $result){
$ErrorMsg = I'm sorry, there was a database error, please try again
later.BR\n . mysql_error();
include 'AddGiftForm.php';
exit;
}
$GiftKey = mysql_insert_id($link);
$query1 = INSERT INTO Vendor Values \n('$UserKey', '$GiftKey', NULL,
'$Price', '$VName', '$VURL',\n;
$query1 .= '$VStreetAddress', '$VCity', '$VState', '$VZIP', '$Phone');
$result = mysql_query($query1);

On Tuesday 07 December 2004 21:48, Rory McKinley wrote: So if I understand you correctly if the first page takes a half hour to complete its queries, then the second page is going to sit for a half an hour before it can access the session variables? In theory yes. But most likely your browser would have timed out by then, and whether the second page continues to execute after browser has timed out depends on the ignore_user_abort setting. So the only way for the user to be able to do anything while the first page is at work is to get a new session id for each new window? Depends on how you structure your application. You're using the session data to keep track of the state of your application? For that to be feasible the state can only be changed by one process at any one time. PHP's session handling takes care of that little detail for you. What you need to do is to minimise the time that your application spends in-between states ie where the state is undefined. The state is undefined when the session is open (ie session_start()) and will remain so until you have finalised it by writing what you need into the $_SESSION and doing session_write_close(). So, if your lengthy processing bit is not related to your application state then do your application state stuff first, update $_SESSION, close session, then do your lengthy processing. Now if you need to update $_SESSION after your lengthy process you can always do another session_start(). However if your other pages depends on the result of the lengthy process then this is no getting around the fact that access to those pages have to be blocked until the process is finished. In such a case, is there any way to pass information between sets of session variables in such a case? (I.e from $_SESSION['policeman'] of session number 1 and $_SESSIOn['policeman'] of session number 2) It's easier to share information than to 'pass'. You can store shared info in a database. If you really really want to pass info, you have to be more specific on how, where and when you want this 'passing' to take place. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* Any given program will expand to fill available memory. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Drawing checkboxes
Hello,
I am having a hard time figuring this one out, maybe someone here (with
fresh eyes) can offer a suggestion?
Here is the function...
// Draw Checkbox Menu
function draw_checkbox_menu($name, $values, $default = false, $parameters =
false) {
for ($i=0; $isizeof($values); $i++) {
$field .= 'input type=checkbox name='.$name.' value=' .
$values[$i]['id'] . '';
if(strstr($default, $values[$i]['id'])) {
$field .= ' CHECKED';
}
$field .= ' ' . $values[$i]['text'] . 'br
';
}
return $field;
}
This function is passed the name of the checkbox list($name), the values
that are available($values = array) along with the ones that should be
checked ($default). Parameters too , but not important.
The problem is this. The Values are formatted like this...
value1|value2|value3...etc...
I use the strstr() function to check against the $default so I can check it
if so.
Well it works great..BUT, lets say the product has a category of Coffee
Pots, but the one of the values available is Coffee.
In this case both Coffee AND Coffee Pots get checked when only Coffee
Pots should.
What can I do to this function eliminate this?

[PHP] PHP Security
I subscribe to a number of security mailing lists as I suspect many of you do, being developers and all. The other day a post came across one of those mailing lists discussing PHP security. One of the posters was describing how insecure PHP's file upload functionality is and went on to explain a simple method of attaching exploit code to the end of a jpeg or other image format, then proceeding in uploading the image to the target site that accepted image uploads. The code would be executed as PHP in spite of the file type detection. I'd think there would be no need to parse a jpeg as PHP, right? Needless to say this discussion quickly caught my attention and I began to defend PHP explaining how the unsafe functions could be disabled via the php.ini and so forth. But then I began to wonder.. surely if an exploit were possible the PHP folks would have been informed and the source would have been patched by now, right? I guess my question is.. is PHP's file upload functionality really safe? I myself have a lot at stake if it's not. I don't know much about writing exploits, I just try to keep up to date on security patches and bulletins and all. But these security guys really seem to think PHP is insecure as far as file uploading, so now I'm wondering about it all. Chris has excellent info on general PHP security (http://shiflett.org/php-security.pdf) and I re-read it today before posting. But how does one go about filtering a jpeg for exploit code?

don't look for merely the existence of Coffee but instead look for an

Change:

Thanks Chris, but the $default variable is a string of values separated by

Like so 'value1|value2|value3'
So 'value1' should be true
Whereas 'val' should not be.

If I understand you, calling the function like so :
/**/
$value1 = coffee;
$value2 = coffee pots;
$returned = estrstr($value1, $value2);
/**/
returns the string coffee. Well, I just ran that exact piece of code you

getting what you are getting.
If, one the other hand, you are searching for value coffee expecting to
get back only coffee pots, then you misunderstand how the function works.

}
This function is passed the name of the checkbox list($name), the values
that are available($values = array) along with the ones that should be
checked ($default). Parameters too , but not important.
The problem is this. The Values are formatted like this...
value1|value2|value3...etc...
I use the strstr() function to check against the $default so I can check it
if so.
Well it works great..BUT, lets say the product has a category of Coffee
Pots, but the one of the values available is Coffee.
In this case both Coffee AND Coffee Pots get checked when only Coffee
Pots should.
What can I do to this function eliminate this?
Thanks

Re: [PHP] Drawing checkboxes
A few notes that may help you.
first.on strstri would use strpos instead for a simple checkso
if(strstr($default, $values[$i]['id'])) {
$field .= ' CHECKED';
}
would become
if(strpos($default, $values[$i]['id']) !== false) {
$field .= ' CHECKED';
}
note the double equals...not a mistakesee note in php docs about
that...the reason for using strpos is that strstr is a much longer
check than needed.anyways...on to your problem.
there is a slight logic issue (i think)
lets say your values are
$values = foo bar|foo;
this test (i think) should return true
if(strstr(foo, $values)) because it just looks for the first
occurence of the string
to fix this.
I would change it to this.
$checkValues = array()
$checkValues = explode(|, $values[$i]['id']);
if(in_array($default, $checkValues)) {
$field .= ' CHECKED';
}
there may be a better/faster way to do this, but this should work
hope this helps,
chris

Re: [PHP] Drawing checkboxes
Chris,
Good idea, but $default is the value with pipe delimiters.

Re: [PHP] Drawing checkboxes
so switch the two things.
I would change it to this.
$checkValues = array()
$checkValues = explode(|, $default);
if(in_array($values[$i]['id'], $checkValues)) {
$field .= ' CHECKED';
}
i could be misinterpreting ya, but i think that would
work...actually...if default is going to be the same...i would pull
the checkValues part out of the loop, so you don't perform the explode
for every valuebut, that would work (i think?)

[PHP] Re: PEAR performance/overhead
* David Dickson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I was told that PEAR has too much overhead to be considered for a large scale site. Does any one feel the same? Is this an outrageous comment? I would like to hear comments from people who are using PEAR, or people who have considered PEAR but decided not to use it and your reasons. I would ask for specifics -- what is perceived as overhead? what kind of performance degradation is witnessed? does the loss in performance outweigh the benefits to development (i.e., does it cost more to pay a programmer than to purchase hardware/bandwidth?)? Benchmark some code yourself, as well. Write a sample application using PEAR -- and then an equivalent version without. Compare the amount of time it took to develop each. Then benchmark each piece of code on the webserver. For what it's worth, we've decided that the benefits of PEAR -- standard resources, standard error handling, database agnosticism, and more -- coupled with a development model that heavily utilizes inheritance (so we don't have to reimplement code all over the place, which makes bugfixes nightmarish) -- far outweigh any performance issues. And that's without doing benchmarking. Our time is simply too valuable. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association| http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] PHP Security
--- Greg Donald [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The other day a post came across one of those mailing lists discussing PHP security. One of the posters was describing how insecure PHP's file upload functionality is and went on to explain a simple method of attaching exploit code to the end of a jpeg or other image format, then proceeding in uploading the image to the target site that accepted image uploads. The code would be executed as PHP in spite of the file type detection. I would challenge him to provide an example exploit. That will probably end the debate, but just in case he actually knows what he's talking about, it gives him an opportunity to clarify his point. I'd think there would be no need to parse a jpeg as PHP, right? Apache (and I assume most any HTTP server) uses the file extension to determine the content type, so anything named foo.jpg will not be parsed by the PHP engine (unless, for some crazy reason, you specifically configure Apache to do so, or you mistakenly use ForceType incorrectly). If you let someone upload a file, and you let them choose the name, and you put that file within document root, then yes, you have a pretty serious vulnerability. But, that's just stupid. You can be stupid in any language. :-) Needless to say this discussion quickly caught my attention and I began to defend PHP explaining how the unsafe functions could be disabled via the php.ini and so forth. But then I began to wonder.. surely if an exploit were possible the PHP folks would have been informed and the source would have been patched by now, right? Most likely. It's unfortunate, but most people who raise concerns like this have no idea what they're talking about. The reason I find it unfortunate is that realistic concerns can be lost in the crowd. This could be a realistic concern, but I'd need more details to determine that. I guess my question is.. is PHP's file upload functionality really safe? I myself have a lot at stake if it's not. I would say it's no more or less safe than most mechanisms. PHP provides you with information about an uploaded file in the $_FILES superglobal array. What you do with it is up to you. You can certainly write code that trusts information sent by the client, but you shouldn't. My only complaint (it's minor) with PHP's implementation is that a developer can't easily determine what data in $_FILES comes from the client. Because some of the information therein is provided by PHP (and therefore reliable), it's not like $_GET where you can safely assume that everything comes from the client. This lack of distinction makes it a bit more difficult to be a security-conscious developer. I don't know much about writing exploits, I just try to keep up to date on security patches and bulletins and all. But these security guys really seem to think PHP is insecure as far as file uploading, so now I'm wondering about it all. PHP gets a bad rap because of the multitude of insecure applications written in the language, and (more importantly) the tendency to name applications PHP something. This means that those who keep up with things like Security Focus see PHP mentioned all the time, and they have a poor opinion of it. Of course, in reality, what they see are names like phpBB and PHP-Nuke, not PHP itself. Chris has excellent info on general PHP security (http://shiflett.org/php-security.pdf) and I re-read it today before posting. But how does one go about filtering a jpeg for exploit code? Seems the only winning move is to not play. Thanks for the kind words. While I stand behind everything within that PDF, I don't want anyone to think that it's anywhere near complete. It began as a companion to my OSCON talk on PHP security (and it's changed very little since), so it only covers the topics that I chose for a 3 hour talk. File uploads were not part of that. I did write a Security Corner (my column in php|architect) on file uploads in the October issue, but that is not available for free yet (it won't be until April). Sorry that I don't have a better resource for you - I've always felt that file uploads weren't as common as most of the other topics that I frequently write about. Hope that helps.
