I use third party WEB hosting provider , so I have no control about new releases and updates of server softwares. I have not changed my images in last 3 years (they are used for virtual stores), they appeared beautiful in these 3 years, but from some days ago, they are appearing with terrible filter colors (all blue for instance, some entirely black and so). When bypassing image PHP functions, images again appear beautiful in my page, but site performance to show product catalogs gets terrible, not to say impossible for customers browse on it. I wrote web provider to check what changed in their PHP environment, but I am afraid they will answer none has changed. I use the following sequence of commands to rebuild thumb images: $orimage = ImageCreateFromString(string) to get original image from opened JPG file $thumb = ImageCreate(new-width, new-height) to create empty new thumbnail Make this one be ImageCreateTrueColor() http://php.net/imagecreatetruecolor ImageCopyResized($thumb,$origame,) to fill thumbnail ImageJpeg($thumb) to show thumbnail I checked by increasing 'quality' parameter ImageJpeg($thumb,'',100) but result continue to be wrong.

I actually tried it out for myself... and indeed the two different documents produced the exact same MD5 sum. That's a one in a billion chance... So, if your binary file HAPPENS to match that meaningless string, you could use that OTHER meaningless string instead... Again I say... did you look at the other meaningless string in the example? I don't pretend to understand how the authors made it work, but it wasn't just some meaningless string that they got to match. I'll bet neither of the two strings has any real-world meaning They just happen to be the two strings that are easy to find that have the same MD5.

[PHP] Optimizing Help
Hello, Recently with the help of several of you I got a script working. It's complex, I'm still new, some parts of it came from other authors and I adapted it, and generally despite the fact that it seems to work perfectly at this point, I am certain that there is bloat, repetition and simply useless crap. I'd like to know if anyone can have a look and help me optimize what I have. For example, there are several mysql queries - would it be possible to combine them somehow? I use the image upload section twice because I couldn't figure out how to make it work using different vars within the same section. That kind of newbie stuff.

Re: [PHP] Optimizing Help
Hey there Jackson, The first thing I would consider would be to see if you can classify the code into chunks that do a certain job, and then rewrite them as functions. I would also consider looping through arrays for repetitive jobs (lines 258 - 270 for example). Down the line you could consider the use of classes, your own or ready made - such as the ever useful PEAR (http://pear.php.net). I personally found that the greatest saver of time to be the re-use of code that I know works well for given situations.

[PHP] PEAR DB and MSSQL
I originally submitted this to the PHP DB mailing list. Hopefully
someone on this list not on the other can give me some help.
My company runs a Linux based PHP website with a MySQL database backend.
We also have several MSSQL databases deployed throughout the
organization. One of our MSSQL databases has a process running on it
that transfers it's data to our MySQL database. However this process
has become unstable and the data does not always make it over. This is
mission critical data and must be present on the website to meet
federal and state regulations.
Our director has mandated that we get rid of the data transfer and query
the MSSQL database directly. I have found several very useful sites on
the net to give me instructiosn on setting this up. I installed
unixODBC and FreeTDS and set up a test server using fedora core 1.
When I first got unixODBC and FreeTDS installed, I was able to connect
to the database just fine. However, when I rebooted the server and
tried to connect again PEAR returns a db_error object with a message of
[nativecode=IM002 [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found,
and no default driver specified] ** odbc://#:#/@# {hash
marks added to hide username and password and ODBC name}. I got the
message from the output of print_r($db).
After the reboot, I was still able to connect to the MSSQL database from
the console using isql so this does not appear to be an issue with
unixODBC and FreeTDS.
Does anyone have a clue as to why this happened and what I can do to get
this working?
Thank you,
Robbert van Andel

RE: [PHP] Re: reverse MD5 ???
In that framework there is no such thing as decrypting an MD5 digest, because an MD5 digest is not an encrypted version of the message to start with. No amount of CPU power will change this basic fact -- though CPU power can be used to do a brute force search for strings which will generate a given MD5 value. However, as stated before, at current levels of computing power this is not feasible for messages beyond I think 7 or 8 characters long (don't quote me on that). One real-world example of the potential weakness of 'md5 out of the box' comes from a consultancy project I was involved in not so long back. The app in question was storing the md5 value of 4-digit PINs in the background database, and the owners of the app were quietly confident that this meant the PINs were 'encrypted' and 'secure'. Of course, there are only 10,000 possible PIN values between and , regardless of whether or not they're stored in plaintext or md5 hashed form, and I guess it took me less than 15 minutes to build a reference table of all md5 hash values for the possible plaintext PINs and therefore effortlessly retrieve the plaintext PIN values from their table. Imagine their surprise. And if *I* could do it... Md5 is a very handy way of 'securing' [1] password information, but only when the plaintext value offers enough possible variation in length and / or value to make building a 'possible variations' lookup table a difficult proposition.

Re: [PHP] Optimizing Help
Jackson, Yeah, what you can do is place all your form values you just got into an array, and then act on each of them in turn by looping through the array when it comes to repetitive jobs, such as the mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['variable'])) part of the code I referred to earlier. You could also use a similar method for generating your date option menus later (lines 342). Needless to say, this is only my way of doing things, and other list members will have different/better ideas no doubt!!!

Re: [PHP] include()
() is meaningless in an include. But in PHP you can put () around just about anything you want. Just like you can do: $a = ($b); There is no point in the brackets there. The PHP parser simply uses brackets to create precedence groups. So yes, you can do include(foo.php) if you want, but you are just making the parser do extra work for no reason. -Rasmus I.

I want to get into good habits you see. I assume I have to use the first example when the file is on a different server. From a security standpoint, you usually only want to include and/or require files that are on your local system (your second example), unless under unusual circumstances (content sharing agreements with other sites, etc). Ideally, unless you want access to those scripts directly (i.e., http://www.examplesite.com/examplefile.php), you should place them somewhere in your include_path, which should be _outside_ the web server's document root. This prevents idle hacking attempts, and is generally considered a best practice. Additionally, using a network stream (which is what you're using when you specify 'http://') means that you've got additional performance overhead. Network streams are often more costly, resource wise, than file streams, and if the file truly is on a remote network, you then have to wait for that transaction to finish before continuing with your own processing. If you need to pull content off another server, but that content does not change often, you would be wise to have a background process running that pulls this content and caches it for use in your scripts. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | WEBSITES: Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association| http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://vermontbotanical.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Documenting Code Question
* Chris Drozdowski [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I need some help regarding documenting code. Say you have a function/method that takes an object as a parameter and/or returns an object. When documenting, do you specify the specific class of the object when listing the datatype in the docblock @param and @return specs or do you simply specify object? You should mention that this has to do with PhpDocumentor... :-) The documentation for PhpDoc says that you can specify either 'object' or the classname of the object's type that is expected. If the class is in your documentation tree, then it will even link to that class' documentation; if not, it shows it statically. I tend to go with the class name, as it gives more information to the individual reading the documentation. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | WEBSITES: Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association| http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://vermontbotanical.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] include()
Hello, Monday, June 13, 2005, 5:02:40 PM, you wrote: IG Is there a big difference between me including a file by putting IG the url in the include() such as IG include(http://www.examplesite.com/examplefile.php) and putting IG the server path such as IG include(number/www.examplesite.com/public_html/examplefile.php) Well the first will have to use an HTTP stream (socket operation) in order to open the file, whereas the second will use a simple File stream. A file stream on a local host is nearly always going to be faster as it carries far less protocol baggage with it. IG I assume I have to use the first example when the file is on a IG different server. If the only way to access this file is via HTTP then yes. You do realise that when you use include with an HTTP address that only the *resulting output* of that PHP file will be included?

RE: [PHP] Re: reverse MD5 ???
Amazing. Thanks for sharing that. It's a great example. :-) You're very welcome! If it helps just one other developer avoid the same pitfall, then today is a very good day. :-) Exactly, and this is why it's a good practice to use a seed when you generate MD5s for passwords. Which is exactly what I suggested, and what they ended up implementing, thanks to the fact that I could provide them with the original plaintext PIN values for the existing records. Still, once I'd had a chance to look at the plaintext PINs, it was depressing to notice the frequency of 'easy' PIN values, such as '', '1234', '' etc. Even with a seed, those values would have been relatively easy to guess at with frequency analysis, and it goes beyond my meager hostile decryption skills to guess at whether that made deriving the seed any easier or not. I suggested implementing a class that randomly selected from somewhere between 5 to 10 possible seed values when hashing the PIN for storage, which would have meant simply using all 5 or 10 seeds when comparing the PIN for subsequent validation, to reduce the frequency of hash-to-easy-PIN repetition, but it hadn't been implemented by the time my consultancy ended and I'd be willing to bet a year's pay it, or any other method of providing some sort of buffering against frequency analysis, hasn't been since. Of course, there's a whole conversation to be had regarding the fact that if your db server has been compromised to the point where the contents of tables are exposed, then it's reasonable to at least speculate (depending on your server setup and method by which it was accessed) that perhaps your entire app has been compromised, and your seed values may now be known to the hostile entity as well. Still and all, there's absolutely no reason to make the job of compromising your data any easier on a hypothetical hacker than is within your level of competency as a developer. Adding a seed value to md5 hashes is a simple and effective method under most circumstances that even beginner to intermediate developers can employ. In other words, It Is A Very Good Thing. ;-) Regards, Murray -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] PHP 4.4.0RC1
Hello! The PHP Team just released it's first release candidate for PHP 4.4.0. This is solely a bug-fix only release, the increased middle digit is needed because this release changes PHP's Internal API that causes third-party binary extensions to be incompatible with PHP 4.3.x. This release address a major problem within PHP concerning references. If references where used in a wrong way, PHP would often create memory corruptions which would not always surface and be visible. In other cases it can cause variables and objects to change type or class. If you encountered strange behavior like this, this release might fix it. Besides addressing this reference related bug, 46 other bugs are fixed. Please test this release and report any bugs or problems in our bugsystem (after searching first). If all goes well I plan to roll a release of 4.4.0 on June 27th. If there are problems a new RC will follow. Only critical bugs are going to be fixed between RC1 and RC2.

Ordinarily most browsers render multiple consecutive spaces as a single
space. This doesn't mean that it's not a good idea to remove them, just that
not doing so shouldn't effect the way the text is displayed in the div tag,
as the original poster mentioned was his intention.

Re: [PHP] formatting paragraphs in to strings
Right.. But the browser also should be ignoring the carriage returns
as well, which makes me think the div is set to white-space: pre; or
something. He said the text is being formatted in a div exactly how
it is entered into the system. By default, a div does not render any
carriage returns.

Is there some way to have a timer in the page and have partial form results sent back to the server, but still leave the form on the screen as-is?

make good (ab)use of alignment (your style may differ ;-)

Why not construct your application so that a user can enter the password again after timing out and continue? If I submit a form, and you tell me that I've timed out, I should be able to provide my password and not lose everything. You have all of the data in $_POST or $_GET. Do something with it. :-) There may be some client-side way to handle this, but it's definitely not necessary. Keepalive session ping :) Just retrieve some content via javascript that keeps the session going. I'm not necessarily advocating this for the best solution, but it is a client side solution with very little complexity.

[PHP] Re: OT ??: Form posting without leaving form
Hello, on 06/13/2005 02:28 PM Kall, Bruce A. said the following: Is there a way to post a form to a url without having a user submit from the form? I have a php web page that is a detailed form with a lot of fields. If the user does some work on this form and let's it sit, their session can time out (I had this happen to the user after it sat for 2 hours). Is there some way to have a timer in the page and have partial form results sent back to the server, but still leave the form on the screen as-is? In other words, I want to have the client periodically post the form data back to the server, but leave the same web page displayed. Simple, user the target attribute of the form to specify the name of frame (zero sized if you want the user to not see the results). -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
