Re: [PHP] Why do I have to declare __set if I declare __get for read-only properties?
C Drozdowski wrote:
Howdy,
I'd like to access some of the private members of my classes as
read-only properties without resorting to function calls to access them.
(e.g. $testClass-privateMember instead of $testClass-privateMember(),
etc)
Based on my research and testing, using the __get and __set overloading
methods appears to be the only way to do so. It also, based on testing,
appears that these private members must be in an array.
What I do not understand is that if I declare a __get method I MUST also
declare a do nothing __set method to prevent the read-only properties
from being modified in code that uses the class.
For example, the code below allows me to have read-only properties.
However, if I remove the do nothing __set method completely, then the
properties are no longer read-only.
I'm curious as to why I HAVE to implement the __set method?
Example:
?php
class testClass
{
private $varArray = array('one'='ONE', 'two'='TWO');
public function __get($name)
{
if (array_key_exists($name, $this-varArray)) {
return $this-varArray[$name];
}
}
public function __set($name, $value)
{
}
}
$test = new testClass();
$test-one = 'TWO'; // doesn't work
echo $test-one; // echo s 'ONE'
?
If __set function is not created, line $test-one = 'TWO'; creates a new
public variable with name 'one' and this one is echoed on the next line,
not the one retrieved from __get.
__get is called only for class variables that do not exist.

Do you have a : meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 in the head section? Sometimes the browser tries to figure out the charset, just as it figures to assume an /p when it finds a new p and if figures out so many things, sometimes it simply fails.

Re: [PHP] Creating INSERT INTO statement from dbf file
You can either put a flag indicating your first time around the field loop
and add the comma before each field, when it is not the first time around,
or build the fieldname and fieldvalue list on a string and then trim out the
last character once the loop is finished.
Rahul S. Johari [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Ave,
I¹ve written a code that is able to extract the Column names and Records
from a simple dbf (foxpro) file and create an INSERT INTO sql statement
which can be used to insert all those records with their corresponding field
names in an existing mySQL table. (A CREATE TABLE code I wrote is able to
create the table from the dbf file information).
Following is the code I wrote for creating the INSERT INTO sql:
?php
$db_path = $DATABASEFILE;
$dbh = dbase_open($db_path, 0) or die(Error! Could not open
dbase database file '$db_path'.);
if ($dbh) {
#Get the Information
$column_info = dbase_get_header_info($dbh);
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($dbh);
#Run the loop for all the records in the Table
for ($i = 1; $i = $record_numbers; $i++) {
$row = dbase_get_record_with_names($dbh, $i);
echo INSERT INTO .substr($DATABASEFILE_name,0,-4). (;
#Run the loop for all the fields in the Table
foreach ($column_info as $v1) {echo $v1[name],;}
echo ) VALUES (;
#Run the loop for all the values corresponding to fields in the
Table
foreach ($column_info as $v1) {echo
'.trim($row[$v1[name]]).',;}
echo '); br;
}
}
dbase_close($dbh);
?
It works fine, except for one problem. It¹s able to create the INSERT INTO
sql statement, with all the fields and corresponding values, but as I¹m
running a loop for both the fields names, and the values corresponding to
fields names, it leaves a comma after the records are over.
So instead of having this : INSERT INTO tblname (c1,c2,c3) VALUES
(Ov1¹,¹v2¹,¹v3¹);
I achieve this : INSERT INTO tblname (c1,c2,c3,) VALUES (Ov1¹,¹v2¹,¹v3¹,¹);
Notice an additional Comma after column names, and an additional ,¹ after
the values. I¹m not quite sure what to do to get rid of those. I¹ve tried
some different combinations using different kind of logic with the echo
statements, but it¹s not working out. Would love some help.

Re: [PHP] Help. Floats turning into really small numbers? x.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxE-xx- Narrowed it down!
What you see as round numbers in base 10, are not so in binary. Numbers such as .5, .25, .125, .0625 and so on, multiples of one half, are round numbers in binary, though they don't look so in decimal. Others which look pretty simple in decimal are not, for example, 0.1 gives you an infinite series 0.11001100110011... in binary. All this numbers give you rounding errors. That is why many languages have introduced 'currency' or 'money' data types, they are either integer data types scaled back to a fixed number of decimal places, or they are floats rounded of the least significant digits. You can do either by yourself, that is, have all currency internally represented as cents and scale it to full units when showing it, or round off at two cents after each calculation. Satyam Anthony Tippett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] btw, thanks for your response. I'm not sure as if I understand why.

Re: [PHP] What's the going rate for making websites ?
Hi Rene,
I am becoming a little bit concerned about some of the
advice you have been getting about setting a rate for
your work. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong
with charging by the hour, but a lot of times one of
two things happen, either you begin to resent your
customer or they begin to resent you.
I have another method for you to consider about
pricing/costing your work. Try basing your fee on
value. If someone wants a one page site then you look
at how long it will take and ask them a few questions
about what they want to get out the page. If the
client believes that the single page would be the most
inportant part of their interaction with their
audience (I'm being intentionally extreme here) then
would you feel right about only charging 50$ for it?
Personally I would be looking at charging 500$ or even
more.
Another thing to think about where figuring out your
rate is what your time is actually worth. A trimmined
down version of how I have determined my rate in the
past is as follows:
My desired salary: 60,000$
Hours to work per year: 2000h
Now start subtrating from hours to determine billable
hours.
Minus:
Vacation time(3 weeks @ 40h/week): 120h
Overhead time(accounting and such 4h/month): 48h
Networking/Marketing time (figure about 1/3 of your
time): 600h
Sick Days(everyone gets sick eventually): 40h
You also have expenses:
Overhead (space to rent, cd or dvds, computers,
hosting, etc): 20,000$
Advertising(brochures, cards, etc): 3000$
Determine sales needed for the year:
Salary + expenses: 83,000$/year
Determine billable hours
(Total hours - Vac time, sick time, etc):
2000h - 120-48-600-40 = 1192h (actual time you can
spend doing what you do)
Rate to charge:
Needed sales/billable hours
83,000$/1192h = 70$/h
Use that number as a base, initially add 20% more time
to your time estimates and find out what the client
is willing to pay and charge them that or a little
more, they will pay you more.
HTH,
David

[PHP] Maybe Newbie: PHP-scripts in sub-directories
Hi NG, I'm very sorry to bother you, but I've wasted a week solving my problem and didn't find any solution in the net. On my dedicated server preinstalled with Linux Suse 9.0, Apache 2.0.48, PHP 4.3.3 in want to use php in subdirectories. In the main document root of apache my test.php (consisting of the simple phpinfo()-function) works fine. But if I copy the file in any subdirectory I get a error message like 'Premature end of script headers...'. Please tell me, what might be the reason for that? Must there be a right configurated '.htaccess'-file? What must be inserted? Has it to do with rights (I gave the subdir 777-rights recursively to be sure)? Thanks for your reply.

I do not know of a specific calendar, but communication between JavaScript and php is most commonly handled via a form post.

Hi! You could create a shell php script that listens on port 25 and does what eg sendmail does... imho this would not be a good solution. A better solution would be to use procmail to feed the mail to your script after it was accepted by the mailserver. cheers ÞilvinasÐaltys wrote: I have to create a script that could parse attachments that come from another server by mail.

[PHP] PHP config issues when moving from Fedora to SuSe
Hi folks, I've done a bit of work with PHP/MySQL on a Fedora Core server over the past few months and just about the time I got comfortable, it was time to change the server to SuSE. What a delight! Installed Apache 2, PHP and MySQL and I was processing pages within minutes. So now I switched my development box to SuSE, then, later, installed Apache 2 and PHP via YaST, and it's burping on me. Apache processes static pages fine, but the PHP function calls aren't being processed. I'm guessing that there are missing directives somewhere in the Apache innards. I'm confused about Apache's multiple config files. FC just had one big ol' config file and I was comfortable adding the PHP lines, setting up multiple virtual hosts, and all that. But this SuSE thing is more complicated. There's /etc/apache2/httpd.conf that basically just has a bunch of includes. Don't wanna touch that. There's /etc/apache2/default-server.conf that looks like it's where the action is. And there's a /etc/apache2/conf.d/php4.conf file that has specific php commands, such as IfModule sapi_apache2.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 DirectoryIndex index.php DirectoryIndex index.php4 /IfModule But I can't find where any of the Apache config files point to the php4 config file. Do I need to add an include in default-server.conf? (Shouldn't the install have done that? Silly install!) Where else might I look?

Other people can open another session and I don't want to kill their mypictures.php or executables that they started. What is the difference between posix_getpid() and getmypid()?

[PHP] PHP inside .htacess protected file
I have this dilemma...I know this is more of an apache question than a PHP questions, but I thought that it's partially related. We have a webserver that we want to turn on/off access. We were thinking of using simple HTTP authentication to protect the main webserver directory. We have Flash movies that talk to PHP scripts inside the webserver directory. When we have our .htaccess file inside the main webserver directory, Flash can't comunicate with the PHP scripts. So ideally this is what we want...prevent access to the directory but allow our Flash movies to talk to the PHP scripts in the directory. How would I go about doing this? Can I create a subfolder to put the PHP scripts in and put another .htaccess in that folder to override the protection?

Hey all,
After my old thread of SQL-Injection I have been checking out the PEAR db
classes and ADODB as a database wrapper.
PEAR is quite large and has a LOT of stuff which I prolly will never use
(but very useful stuff if you know how to use it) so I thought i'll go with
adodb.
After reading the docs I copied this simple program to see if it works on my
setup:
?php
$hostt = localhost; $userr = root; $passs = ; $database = test1;
include('adodb/adodb.inc.php');
$db = ADONewConnection($database);
$db-debug = true;
$db-Connect($hostt, $userr, $passs, $database);
$rs = $db-Execute('select * from categories');
print pre;
print_r($rs-GetRows());
print /pre;
?
but its giving me this error:
Missing file: c:\phpdev\www\project
jappz\site\adodb/drivers/adodb-blocket.inc.php
ADONewConnection: Unable to load database driver ''
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: connect() in c:\phpdev\www\project

Hey all,

In that case a cancel button isn't going to help you (at least, it won't be a solution). What if the user starts the process, doesn't press your cancel button, and goes away for a couple of days? You've got a cancel button but it didn't get pressed. Since we don't have any details of these executables wouldn't the executable return control back to whatever it was that called it after it was done processing? I mean, if I put in some search terms in google and walk away for a few days, google has no idea I've left. Nor do they even care. In the same way, your executables shouldn't run continuously without user intervention. They should know when they are done and should stop.

This function is only available on operating systems that support the gettimeofday() system call.

This is a behavior similar to the include() statement, with the only difference being that if the code from a file has already been included, it will not be included again. As the name suggests, it will be included just once. include_once() should be used in cases where the same file might be included and evaluated more than once during a particular execution of a script, and you want to be sure that it is included exactly once to avoid problems with function redefinitions, variable value reassignments, etc. * Now surely you can RTFM and find more answers.

[PHP] dynamic image will not print properly
Hi there - I had my first crack at creating a dynamic image. The thing is - the image is displayed fine in the browser, but when you go to print it, the image is either missing, or part of it is missing. Is there something special needed to print a dynamic image?

If you don't need it, you can roll your own in about 10 seconds, or you could simply *NOT* use include_once and structure your code well enough that you're never silly enough to include the same file twice. Why array_shift() re-indexes arrays? Because that's what a POP function should do? Though if you don't want this behaviour, use text indices, and it won't. So there. Why 2 simple string comparisons are slower than one preg_match()? Because preg_match is fast. Also depends on the preg_match() expression. Try it with something non-trivial. Why microtime(TRUE) returns only fraction of real time that is smaller than 1? Why microtime() does not return float in the first place? You mean microtime(FALSE), and it returns a string that way because that's the way the operating system does it. PHP allows you to use TRUE to get the float you want. This was added because users like you went to the source and fixed it. Why user-defined session-handling functions receive serialized session data that is already serialized? Because you are almost for sure going to have to serialize it to store it anyway, and PHP can do it faster in C than you can? Why parser reads multi-line comment slower than it reads heredoc or single-quoted string?

We have Flash movies that talk to PHP scripts inside the webserver directory. When we have our .htaccess file inside the main webserver directory, Flash can't comunicate with the PHP scripts. So ideally this is what we want...prevent access to the directory but allow our Flash movies to talk to the PHP scripts in the directory. How would I go about doing this? Can I create a subfolder to put the PHP scripts in and put another .htaccess in that folder to override the protection? Should work. But then anybody who can figure out what's going on can get to the same scripts Flash can get to. You could also change the URLs in your Flash movie to include the username/password as part of the URL: http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/secret.php This works for HTTP Basic Authentication only, as far as I know. Downside there is that somebody can probably un-compile the Flash movie and dig out the password if they REALLY want to.

Probably about the same as POST. It's not as likely as GET to be abused, but it's still likely to happen. Should I implement a SESSIONless feature in case SESSION is not available? First of all, SESSION availability mostly depends on php.ini settings (it is enabled by default with PHP core). So for example if you are requiring COOKIES instead of allowing GET then you will run into some users that just don't accept cookies. And, you won't be able to use SESSION with those users. If your SESSION infrastructure is a required part of using your site (e.g. it holds customer information) then you should require all users to start SESSIONs. But if the SESSION is storing non-essential information (e.g. tracking web traffic through your site) then you might just allow the user to browse without starting a session. In any case, if you really want I suppose that you could propagate a SESSION id with hidden POST inputs instead of using COOKIE / GET.

You should use $_SESSION *or* session_register() and (in your php.ini)
register_globals = true. In my opinion I would just use
$_SESSION['username'] to store the data.
Then you should be able to do the following:
?php

In any case, I guess it depends exactly on the site's functional requirements for you to determine whether or not some kind of session tracking is necessary. As far as I'm concerned, if a person wants any sort of personalized data (custom settings, user account, ability to create a cart and checkout [whatever the case may be]) then they should have no problem having a cookie set on their system.

Re: [PHP] Critical Thinking, or Several Why Questions
What fancy logic? And why does no one need it? I'm referring to this: http://archives.devshed.com/a/ng/557-22943/ Now surely you can RTFM and find more answers. If you disagree with the way that some things work you have a couple of options; a. Contact the PHP development group and explain what you would like to happen. 2. Write an extension yourself that 'fixes' the items you have questions about. But the named issues are pretty obvious, so I assume that there are some reasons why things work as described. Maybe I use functions in the way they were not meant to be used. Maybe there are engine limitations... Manual (and believe me, I read it occasionaly) describes only what function does, not how it works inside, or why it works in this particular way. PS: As I see from the manual on php.net, developers actually fixed microtime() in php 5. I either missed that example, or my manual is slightly outdated. Sorry.

[PHP] Re: To session or not to session
Hi, SESSION feature connot be compared to POST and GET. POST and GET are methods to transfer data from the client to the server. SESSION is a method to keep the server in touch with the client, like COOKIES. A SESSION works with an ID saved in a cookie, or recalled in the URL. The value of the session's ID has no sense for a hacker who read it. That's why SESSIONS are more secure than COOKIES for authentication. I perfer POST to GET to have a better user interface. I think long or understandable URL are ugly. But I use the GET syntax for pages that should be called simply by direct links (from another site from example). The problem with POST is when the user click on Reload, but they are walkarounds. I also prefer COOKIES to SESSIONS for common applications, this is just a habit and it enables users to not authenticate each time they come to the site. But I use SESSIONS when the application has to be more seriously secured.

Re: [PHP] dynamic image will not print properly
On Tue, April 5, 2005 2:26 pm, DuSTiN KRySaK said:
Hi there - I had my first crack at creating a dynamic image. The thing
is - the image is displayed fine in the browser, but when you go to
print it, the image is either missing, or part of it is missing. Is
there something special needed to print a dynamic image?
What you did, *should* work just fine.
But we're talking *MICROSOFT* here!
These people do *NOT* follow standards. Period.
Here is a code snippet used to create the image
header(Content-type: image/jpg);
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg(template_cpn.jpg);
$red = imagecolorallocate( $image, 255,0,0 );
imagestring($image, 2, 306, 200, $couponcode, $red);
imagestring($image, 2, 306, 235, $exp, $red);
imagestring($image, 2, 175, 338, $myname, $red);
imagestring($image, 2, 175, 360, $myemail, $red);
imagejpeg($image);
imagedestroy($image);
Now the way I have it set up, is that there is a PHP file that
generates the image (the above code). Then I have a parent PHP page
that calls that page like so:
$theurl = cstl.php?dk=soemthinghere
echo img src=\$theurl\;
See any issues in my code or setup?
Any ideas?
Here's what you do: You make it *IMPOSSIBLE* for Microsoft to screw up.
This means you make your URL look JUST LIKE any other JPEG URL.
$theurl = cstl/dk=somethinghere/whatever.jpg;
Step 1:
Add/Create an .htaccess file with this:
Files cstl
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
/Files
This forces Apache to treat the file named 'cstl' as a PHP script.
Step 2:
Rename cstl.php to just 'cstl' (see Step 1)
Step 3:
Instead of using $_GET['dk'] do this:
$pathinfo = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
$pathinfo = explode('/', $pathinfo);
//Key-Value pairs:
$_PATH = array();
//Path information buried in URL for source image sub-directories:
$PATH = array();
while (list(, $keyval) = each($pathinfo)){
$parts = explode('=', $keyval);
switch(count($parts)){
case 0: break; //do nothing with bogus extra '/' in URL
case 1: $PATH[] = $keyval;
default:
$key = $parts[0];
unset($parts[0]);
$_PATH[$key] = implode('=', $parts);
break;
}
}
Now you can use $_PATH['dk'] instead of $_GET['dk'] to get your dk value
from the URL. You'll only change $_GET to $_PATH in cstl (formerly
cstl.php) and you're all set.
Now, there is *NO* *WAY* Microsoft can manage to screw up your URL and
decide that it must not be a JPEG because it has GET data, or ends in .php
or whatever.
This same technique must be applied to PDF, FDF, SWF/Ming files if you
want to avoid a zillion MS IE bugs related to multi-media.
So you might as well put the code for $_PATH/$PATH in an include file. I
guarantee you'll need it again and again as you use more and more
multi-media in your web-site.

Think about it. If *your* PHP script can read the SESSION data, then *their* PHP script, which runs as the same user on the OS, with the same permissions can *also* read the SESSION data. * Impractical nitpik: You could set up a separate pool of Apache processes for each host/domain, with a different User setting in each httpd.conf for each host/domain/httpd, but that's going to make your shared server pretty impractical for *MOST* uses where you want a shared server in the first place.

If SESSIONs are completely unavailable, from both Cookies and trans_sid being turned *OFF* in php.ini, and/or no trans_sid and the user denying Cookies... I wouldn't recommend trying to roll your own. Just require some kind of session support, or call it quits.

On Mon, April 4, 2005 2:00 pm, Eric Gorr said: I wanted to setup a good 'contact me' page on my website. I do not want to reveal my e-mail address, so I was going to use a form. The PHP script with the actual mail() function would define the To and Subject parameters, so these could not be faked. I also plan to use a captcha. A what? The only concern I had was how to process the body text. Any recommendations? One useful function would appear to be strip_tags, so no one could embed annoying or destructive HTML, etc. which I may accidentally cause my e-mail application to render. It's possible, though extremely unlikely, that somebody could construct a malicious email that passes through strip_tags and/or htmlentities and still does something *bad* for your particular email application. htmlentities is going to be safe, but will convert HTML enhanced (cough, cough) email into a bunch of junk you can't even read. Which might be a morally correct thing to do with HTML email anyway, but probably not all that useful to even send it at that point. Since you anticipate such a low volume, and seem concerned that you will lose valuable info from an HTML-enhanced email, perhaps you should log the original and provide a link to view it in the email you send to yourself. So if you REALLY need that enhanced email, you can surf to it. Of course, then your web-server/browser might be attacked by their code you are viewing/executing (JavaScript). You may also want to consider using a throttle on the form based on $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and if more than X emails are sent in Y hours from the same IP, refuse to send it and send them to an error page. I do this on sites where I forward blind emails to others, so they can't get (easily) attacked with a DOS attack on their email by a script kiddie. Certainly, it can be defeated by somebody who knows how to change their IP, but it's a small hurdle to weed out some of the more clueless folks who want to try to abuse your form. You could also send them a Cookie, again easily defeated by the clueful, as well as checking their IP to add another hurdle. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Your script is dying at some point. You're not seeing any error messages in your browser or your logs. So you need to crank up the error_reporting, check all return codes, and *DO* something useful when you encounter invalid data and error codes. Nobody can tell you much more than that without a bit more info about what's broken, since all you've told us is what you fixed.

I picked up php in octobre last and have become quite good with it. Didn't touch php 5 yet though. So to start with a problem of mine. I made a cms as per client request. And designed it with PHP 4.3+ in mind. The cms works perfectly only my client has run in some servers that are running PHP 4.1 and do not (can not, won't) upgrade. So I am working on a backport for PHP 4.1 I am almost there and most of the system's already running. I added sha1 calculation from a script I found about because sha1 is not yet implemented in php 4.1. I also let go of using stream_set_timeout as it is not essential. I got stuck and banged my head quite some time on this. When I try to open a page, I get broken connection error in konquerour. (Firefox just shows me a null page) I have tried many things already to get some usable debugging info on this but it seems that shutdown functions aren't executed either. Strangly enough googling to know what the 'broken connection' error's about in this context proved unsuccessfull I thank you for your time and bid you good day With kind regards Andy Pieters Straight-A-Software A young idealistic programmer -- Registered Linux User Number 379093 -- Feel free to check out these few php utilities that I released under the GPL2 and that are meant for use with a php cli binary: http://www.vlaamse-kern.com/sas/ -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Printing
On Sat, April 2, 2005 9:03 am, Niels Riis Kristensen said: I am using a Unix machine (Mac) but can't find ways to print to my local printer. Plenty of information about printing from a PC, but none from a mac. Can that be, that you can't print from php to mac? First, get printing to work AT ALL on the machine. If your text editor or browser can't print, PHP ain't gonna be able to either, most likely. Next, see if you can figure out what command line is being used to make things print... Sometimes you can force an error (turn off the printer as you print) and get something to puke out on the screen or into /var/log/messages or... Finally, whatever that command line is, use http://php.net/exec to make it happen in PHP. You'll also need to be aware of the PHP User and what their permissions are -- Try to 'su' to that user in a terminal window and do the command to print from the command line. Oh yeah: Start with a dirt simple text file: test.txt -- Hello World If you can't get that to print, it's unlikely you'll get fancy stuff like PostScript to work... Though sometimes it goes the other way, and PS prints fine, but text refuses. Go figure. In all OSes, I find printer setup the most painful experience for something that virtually every normal user is supposed to be able to do this...

Re: [PHP] filtering uploaded files

IE using PHP and not depending on system commands? thanks for your insight so far, very important. The equivalent of `file` command is mime_content_type() php function (if enabled). Other alternatives are to use fgetcsv() to check if the file is a csv file, imagesize() to check for image files, and similar. But you can never be 100% sure the file is completely valid without checking the whole file. For example mime_content_type() and imagesize() check only first few bytes, but the rest of the file might be junk. Calling imagecreatefromXYZ on it would check that at least it SEEMS like a valid XYZ file for images -- Of course, I'm sure somebody can craft an image that will not return an error code for those functions and do something malicious under certain circumstances. It's also possible, though unlikely, that calling imagecreatefromXYZ (or even getimagesize) will trigger the malicious code in and of itself. Can you afford the time to call createimagefromXYZ? I dunno. Only you can evaluate the risk/benefit and time/resources trade-offs to decide what's secure enough Security is a gradient, not an on/off switch. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Recommendation for a MySql wrapper class
On Sat, April 2, 2005 5:41 am, Ryan A said:
so although this is new to me, I know there are a lot of PHP gurus on the
list and i'm sure this is not new to themI was hopeing someone could
recommend a class they are using as I am starting a new project on monday
and dont have the time to test each class before picking one (honest guys,
there are a lot, you gotto browse them to belive it)
I dont need anything fancy just something that gets the job donesafely
and effectivly.
Here's the thing:
Depending on your DATA that *YOU* expect, you'll need different scrubbing
functions.
For example, if your script expects and ID (auto_increment) and a big ol'
blob of text for a bulletin board posting, you're going to scrub those two
COMPLETELY differently.
?php
$id = abs( (int) $_REQUEST['id'] );
$text = mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['text']);
?
You could maybe find some kind of class/package that has some pre-defined
types of data and scrubbers to go through them, and you'd do something
like:
?php
$id = scrubber($id, 'int+'); //'int+' == postive integer
$text = scrubber($text, 'mysql'); //'mysql' == MySQL data
?
That ain't really gonna save you much, is it?
And keeping track of all those different kinds of possible data types to
scrub for is gonna be a real PAIN.
Plus, invariably, you'll have some kind of data where a good scrubbing is
not going to be covered by the available types in the scrubber function.
So, basically, you're probably best off really thinking about what you
*EXPECT* and *ALLOW* for each and every variable independently and just
coding that.
You can also do something like this:
?php
//This should be scrubbed, but not sure how much:
$text = $_REQUEST['text'];
//So, for now, let's see what FAILS my current test, but not actually
implement the scrubbing until we've tried it for awhile:
if (preg_match('/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/', $text)){
error_log($text would have failed . __FILE__ . . __LINE__);
}
$text = mysql_escape_string($text);
?
Do some testing first with users you know and trust NOT to intentionally
sabotage you, then try to find some nasty things that you SHOULD be
catching, and play with the characters you *ACCEPT* until you're happy.
