Re: [PHP] Conversion of period and space for $_GET, $_REQUEST, etc. is rather senseless
On Thu, June 30, 2005 8:47 pm, Joe Krahn said: PHP imports GET and POST data to array elements by senselessly converting periods and spaces to underscore. The intent is to make strings variable-name compatible for conversion directly into global variables via import_request_variables or register_globals. Honestly?... Why in the world would you have variable names or even array keys with such weird keys anyway, other than the imagemaps, of course? [shrug] String-to-variable name mangling should only occur when being converted to variable names, but should be left as is when accessed as array elements. The current implementation is particularly bad because it mangles only periods and spaces, but leaves alone other special/unusual characters. Furthermore, the direct conversion into global name space is discouraged for security reasons. A feature-request was made related to this, but it was marked as Won't Fix, primarily due to compatibility concerns. However, I think it's a poor design, and there must be some compatible way to move beyond this misfeature. You'd break an awful lot of backwards-compatibility, for anybody actually relying on it... The biggest one being for INPUT TYPE=IMAGE and image map ,x and ,y variables. If it weren't for those, I'd day go ahead and change it. There probably aren't THAT many users affected by anything else. It would be nice if the original design had only mangled the variable names and not the array keys, but changing it now... Just too many applications are gonna get broken big-time. Do other people really want to keep the period/space name mangling for array keys, and not just for variable names? And, what happens when importing other special characters to variable names? You could always get the RAW_POST_DATA and roll your own parser to preserve/mangle things any way you like. It would take you, what?, an hour of coding, including reasonable QA? Yes, that's a work-around but it's not that ugly. I'm not unsympathic to your plight, and you're absolutely right it would have been a better Design had somebody thought to do it that way, oh, 10 years ago... HEY! Just noticed your email address...

Re: [PHP] Writing a PHP Web application
Philip Hallstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] What are the options to get code to run on the server (every XX minutes), without any user interaction, etc. If you are running on a unix like system (linux, freebsd, solaris, etc.) cron can do this for you. See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron If on windows there are probably scheduling applications, but I don't know anything about them. Start--Settings--Control Panel--Scheduled Tasks You can use this to run scripts written in whatever language you like to perform the sort of tasks you want to. Example 1: If I have a directory that contains files, can I write a script that will delete all files older that 5 days? Yes. Write the script to do what you want it to do and then have cron execute it on the time period you define. Example 2: If I write an email web application, and the user wants to send an email to 50 people, can I write a script that will send emails individually XX seconds apart from each other, but have the progress interfaced with the web page the user is on so they can see the percentage progress of sent emails. Yes. This is a bit trickier as you would need to coordinate with a backend process that looks for emails that are ready to send them, does the sending and also writes out some status info (either to a temp file or to a database, or to shared memory). Then your web page would need to repeatedly check that status to update the user on the progress. Also, back to the email example, is it possible that once an email is composed and sent, that the web application can scan the email for viruses, then show a message to the user if a virus was found in their email, if no virus found, the email is then sent to the users as above. Yes. You could install a virus scanner such as ClamAV (http://www.clamav.net/) and have it scan the message prior to handing it off to the backend process that does the sending. How would I scan an email for viruses (or spam?)? Same idea, but use something like SpamAssassin (http://spamassassin.apache.org/) And, scan it only once so that system resources are not used to scan unnecessarily for every recipient? Sure. Just do it before handing it off to the script that actually does the mailing... -philip -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Multiple instances, what do you think this means or I guess you don't have the concept of instantiation? Again, meaning what? Running several copies of the application on a single server? Why would I want to do that? I am aware of the installation package for php for windows, but why is it not part of the main package to begin with, why a separate package. I asked this once before and was told because of security issues, can only go by what I have been told. I did say correct me if I am wrong! Ok, let's start with the main package. For PHP the main package is the source code. You're clearly not very familiar with the way software is distributed in the OSS world. In addition to the source code the PHP site generously distributes two other packages for the Win32 platform - a zip file and an installation package. Personally when I'm forced to use Win32 as a server platform I always use the zip package because I'm very picky about what gets installed where. As for the security issues I'm not familiar with any security issues that arise from using the installation package. If there were any I'm sure they would have been published and almost certainly fixed by now. As far as Shared hosting, I can only say that you have led a sheltered life in your development cycle and don't know that applications that run in a shared environment such as one server running 13 websites can be a security risk. I think that if you understood what J2EE is all about first, then I wouldn't be having to explain myself on what J2EE is in depth. Hmm, maybe I have led a sheltered life. I mean I've only been involved with hosting companies for the past 15 years and have been running my own hosting company for nearly 9 years, what would I know?!! I won't disagree that shared hosting environments have a lot of implications for security. I won't disagree that I don't know very much about J2EE. What I would question is your assertion that J2EE provides any extra security in a shared hosting environment than you can get with any other system if the server is properly set up and your application takes reasonable precautions. Having your application on a shared server is never going to be as secure as having your own dedicated server just as much as having a dedicated server in a third parties facility will never be as secure as hosting it in your own facility. Again if J2EE does provide extra security that cannot be achieved with PHP please let me know. I urge you not to come back with another J2EE is better but rather to explain why with specific features that make it better. -Stut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] postgres - mysql last_inserted_id
Hi
I'm migrating also to posgresql. The easyest way to manage incrementation
with postgres is to use
sequences.
How to :
Create a sequence for each table that need autoincrementation.
use pgMyAdmin, to make all needed changes
before any insert call the id.
select nextval('tablename_seq');
and pass this id to your insert.
if you used a database wrapper like PEAR::DB it is easy cause it integrate
a function to perform it, and those function are auto-portable.
The sequence management is the most common incrementation system across
all sgbd. Few like to make the mess like mysql, and sqlite (maybe other
than I don't know).

On the topic of PHP Magazines, they are maturing quite a lot but still suffer badly from coming across more as a collection of un-related articles written by developers about their latest projects. Because all the contributions come in from across the world, there's very little consistency either in writing style or theme of content each issue, and sometimes authors whose native language isn't English create works that are harder to read. They're both a great read and I appreciate nearly all of the articles in them, and the people who've spent the time writing them. The disjointed nature of the content isn't the authors fault, it's just the way they are edited at the moment. Regular columns (such as Security Corner in php|a or Guru Speak in php-mag) are helping to address this, but what you won't find in them are all the authors working together to address a specific topic. For example in most development magazines I read they'll often have a theme for the issue, i.e. security, and then the articles will be centered around that theme from differing levels of complexity and scope. I am sure the current crop of PHP magazines will migrate towards something more coherent in structure as time goes on (and their circulations increase), rather than feeling like a grab-bag of non-specific PHP goodies as they do today.

It looks to me like the \n (linefeed) character is actually being

On Fri, June 24, 2005 3:18 pm, Dotan Cohen said:
I've got a line like this:
$str=preg_replace( -regex here-, '\nnote\1/note', $str);
Which has one of two problems: If I leave the single quotes around the
second argument, then it returns as \n and not a newline. If I change
the single quotes to double quotes, then the info from the regex is
not inserted in place of the \1.
What is one to do in these situations?
Single quotes have only two (2) special characters:
' and \
You need \' to get a ' buried inside a single quote.
Since you use \ as the escape character, but you might want \ in the
string, you also want to use \\ to get a single \ in your string.
That's pretty much *IT* for single quotes.
Double quotes have much for flexibility.
Embedded variables, special characters like \n \r \t ..., embedded 1-D
arrays and object dereferences (-) and even (in recent times) an {}
construct to evaluate an expression and splice it in.
In PHP, you need \n inside double quotes to get a newline.
[Okay, there are other ways, but it's the most common way.]
\n inside of single quotes don't mean squat.
So, in PHP \n is newline.
I think \1 just turns into 1 because 1 is not special following \...
But I can't begin to remember *ALL* the characters that are special
following \ especially when you start getting into octal/hex
representations.
The trick to remember is that if you want \ in PHP, you need \\ to get
a single \
Now, both PHP *and* RegEx use \ as a special character.
So, not only do you need \\ in PHP to get a single \, you *ALSO* may
need one (or more) \ characters to feed into your RegEx.
In your case:
\n...\1 turns into this in PHP internally:
[newline]...1
Because \1 don't mean squat to PHP either, really. It just means 1
[Unless it means ASCII charcter 1, which I doubt...]
Anyway, the \ is being used by PHP as an escape character, and you need a
\ to get down to the RegEx parser.
\n...\\1 will do that.
PHP will see the \\ and turn it into \ internally.
The \ gets handed to the RegEx parser, and it sees:
[newline]...\1
for its input string.
That's what you want.
Always try to see your PHP / RegEx strings in three stages:
1. What you type in PHP.
2. What PHP stores internally, which is what it hands to RegEx
3. What RegEx is going to parse #2 into.

Thanks, Richard. I understand now that php doesn't do the regex stuff
itself- it has a module/apple/program called RegEx do the dirty work.
So I have to pay attention to what RegEx will get. Like paying
attention to the source code of html files and not what we see in the
browser.
Thank you for that explanation. I'm just begining to get familiar
enough with php to have the need (and the ability) to understand what
goes on internally.

most of the major moons, but when I try to get in contact with the

And that's why using oids for a unique id is not a smart choice when sequences are available and were designed explicitly to provide unique ids. If there's a reliable, web-safe, connection-dependent way of getting the sequence ID used in an INSERT, it sure ain't documented, and I've never seen it discussed on the PostgreSQL list (which I dropped off awhile ago, so maybe it's something new).

On the topic of PHP Magazines, they are maturing quite a lot but still suffer badly from coming across more as a collection of un-related articles written by developers about their latest projects. Because all the contributions come in from across the world, there's very little consistency either in writing style or theme of content each issue, and sometimes authors whose native language isn't English create works that are harder to read. They're both a great read and I appreciate nearly all of the articles in them, and the people who've spent the time writing them. The Seems that i'll subscribe to both, PDF versions !!! disjointed nature of the content isn't the authors fault, it's just the way they are edited at the moment. Regular columns (such as Security Corner in php|a or Guru Speak in php-mag) are helping to address this, but what you won't find in them are all the authors working together to address a specific topic. For example in most development magazines I read they'll often have a theme for the issue, i.e. security, and then the articles will be centered around that theme from differing levels of complexity and scope. I am sure the current crop of PHP magazines will migrate towards something more coherent in structure as time goes on (and their circulations increase), rather than feeling like a grab-bag of non-specific PHP goodies as they do today.

Richard Lynch wrote: ... Ooooh. At the risk of being branded a heretic, try to pick up another language or two. Start with something a whole lot like PHP. Maybe Perl, or even C. You'll have to shove all your PHP knowledge over to one side of your brain, cram all the new stuff into the other half of your brain, and then compare/contrast. Then, for real fun, try to learn something totally whacked-out different like Lisp, Scheme, Forth, Logo, or even (blech) COBOL. This will require even more compartmentalization in your brain-space, and some serious deep thinking on what makes a program tick. Only after you really get it in a totally different programming paradigm do you achieve that deep comprehension of Programming with a capital P. Hmmm how does declensional based programming sound? Remember back when our ParrotHeadPoster was alive and squawking and ready to flap his wings right out into the news server? Well doing some searching for text classifiers led me to this really funky, weird, unusual... twisted... programming tool. The program is called crm114. It's not ugly like Perl; it's a whole different *kind* of ugly. I still am not an expert with this program (hell, the development is finally getting to where it can use autoconf), but it fits in really well as a new / active tool that does everything different. And I mean almost everything. Everything is a regex. The default regex engine is called TRE (which supports approximate matches). The language is declensional instead of parameterized. For the most part the order that you use for your arguments just don't matter. Variables look like :*:yourvariable: Releases don't follow the typical naming convention; instead, people get blamed for releases. crm114-20050628.BlameCochrane is the new release that just came out and it is the CRM114 Galactica Buzzphrase Compliant Version. It makes use of the new hyperspatial classification... just read the manual on it, ok?!?! At least one similarity to PHP though: it makes use of a JIT compiler. In short, it's a useful and interesting utility. Not just because it can sort your spam / nonspam email with greater than 99% accuracy... but because you can adapt it to other tasks by writing your own crm filters. This is no simple task (I'm still learning how to use it!), but this is mostly because the way of doing things is just different. The whole thing is like a computer science project gone mad, but at the same time it's actually very useful for something. For those that are interested, grab the new version released today: http://crm114.sourceforge.net/ H. That came out kinda stronger than I meant it... I mean, sure, the guy who learns C, and knows only C, and codes C all day is a Programmer, and I'm not knocking that. But there's this sort of hole in a guy like that, and while it doesn't hurt them or make them less a Programmer, it's there, and it's just not the same as a guy who actually groks something as bass-ackwards (that's a compliment) as Lisp as well as they do C. Well, that got long and philosophical, didn't it? Indeed.

RE: [PHP] PHP vs. ColdFusion
Stut, FYI here is a copy of the text after installing php. Windows Installer The Windows PHP installer is available from the downloads page at http://www.php.net/downloads.php. This installs the CGI version of PHP and for IIS, PWS, and Xitami, it configures the web server as well. The installer does not include any extra external PHP extensions (php_*.dll) as you'll only find those in the Windows Zip Package and PECL downloads. Note: While the Windows installer is an easy way to make PHP work, it is restricted in many aspects as, for example, the automatic setup of extensions is not supported. Use of the installer isn't the preferred method for installing PHP. First, install your selected HTTP (web) server on your system, and make sure that it works. Run the executable installer and follow the instructions provided by the installation wizard. Two types of installation are supported - standard, which provides sensible defaults for all the settings it can, and advanced, which asks questions as it goes along. The installation wizard gathers enough information to set up the php.ini file, and configure certain web servers to use PHP. One of the web servers the PHP installer does not configure for is Apache, so you'll need to configure it manually. Once the installation has completed, the installer will inform you if you need to restart your system, restart the server, or just start using PHP. Warning Be aware, that this setup of PHP is not secure. If you would like to have a secure PHP setup, you'd better go on the manual way, and set every option carefully. This automatically working setup gives you an instantly working PHP installation, but it is not meant to be used on online servers. -Original Message- From: Stut [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:50 AM To: Andrew Scott Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP vs. ColdFusion Andrew Scott wrote: Hey it's not my fault that this stupid list needs a reply all!

If I have this completely wrong please say so, but for $DEITYs sake don't simply say I have it wrong again without explaining why. You seem to be intent on skirting around telling us precisely what makes J2EE a better solution in your opinion. I would be more than happy to hear about it and take it on board because it might convince me to investigate whether it might be worth getting to know it better. I'm sure most other people on this list are also open to learning about alternatives. But until you actually back up your statements rather than turning to personal attacks there will be no benefit to anyone. You know for a php developer your really don't know your own product to well, and by your statement of no known security issues with an installer package (one file to execute to setup everything you need and in the right locations) not 3 packages one with the binaries one with the libraries and the third with partial of the other 2. And if you bothered to read the text in your chosen language you would know about the security issues. Ok that was an extraordinarily spectacular sentence that means very little. The text?? What text? I see no reference to security issues directly related to the Win32 installer on the PHP website. If I'm suffering from temporary blindness I would appreciate a URL or other reference so I can see more clearly. -Stut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] postgres - mysql last_inserted_id
OIDs *can* get re-used *IF* you end up having more than 32-bits (2 billion plus) of objects in the lifetime of your application. For normal usage, that ain't a big problem, honestly... Though I should have stated it for the record, cuz maybe the OP has a site where 2 BILLION INSERTs are gonna happen. ... 4 billion (I'm assuming the postgresql guys are smart enough to use unsigned integers) isn't really as much as it looks. Remember this is shared amongst all the tables in your database making these oids even more of a precious resource ... The solutions there are the same as for not having OID in the first place -- Have some other unique identifier you generate yourself in the INSERT, or use that *with* the OID to be 100% certain you get back the same row from your 2 billion plus data set. ... and that's exactly what sequences are for. And that's why using oids for a unique id is not a smart choice when sequences are available and were designed explicitly to provide unique ids. Just for some added info... from the FAQ: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ.html#4.12 4.12) What is an OID? What is a CTID? Every row that is created in PostgreSQL gets a unique OID unless created WITHOUT OIDS. OIDs are autotomatically assigned unique 4-byte integers that are unique across the entire installation. However, they overflow at 4 billion, and then the OIDs start being duplicated. PostgreSQL uses OIDs to link its internal system tables together. To uniquely number columns in user tables, it is best to use SERIAL rather than OIDs because SERIAL sequences are unique only within a single table. and are therefore less likely to overflow. SERIAL8 is available for storing eight-byte sequence values. CTIDs are used to identify specific physical rows with block and offset values. CTIDs change after rows are modified or reloaded. They are used by index entries to point to physical rows. I seem to remember reading that PostgreSQL is going to get rid of OIDS entirely sometime in the future, but I can't find anything right now to confirm that...

Re: Re[2]: [PHP] PHP vs. ColdFusion
Hello, I followed the discussions closely. I wanted to reply to some questions I saw in the discussions. I am using both PHP and Coldfusion, but both on Linux platforms. So, I am not bound to Microsoft technologies, and CF runs faster on Linux/Unix than on Windows. Like PHP, there is no need for a dedicated IDE to code/script on CF. You may use Macromedia software to build web pages only if you want, except if you want to make Flash movies/animations. You can edit files manually to configure CF (XML files) with a ssh access on the server (at least the Linux version I am used to), or use a web interface to manage it. Both languages have pros and cons, and I cannot say that one is superior to the other. It is a matter of taste. I know that someone coming from a programming background will be more comfortable with PHP, while someone coming from a web design background may be more comfortable with CF, but even that is changing. Once you get to do very advanced things, you need to code using Object Oriented approaches, modular programming, web services, etc. which both products allow you to do. It is true that Coldfusion offers a lot of functionality 'out of the box', and sometimes you need to look around to find equivalent functionality, extensions for PHP. These functionalities are more geared towards displaying data, managing forms, etc. PHP also offers a lot of functionalities out of the box also. For example, PHP is really flexible about how you want to retrieve a query, in what format, etc. The functionalities are more geared towards programming utilities. You can extend Coldfusion functionalities easily by creating 'custom tags' in Perl, C, C++ or Java without having to recompile the product. You can also instantiate any classes in Java because Coldfusion is based on Java since version 5. So, it's really a matter of personal taste and the background of each one. I personally take pleasure developing applications on both Coldfusion and PHP.

Re: [PHP] reading PDF's
Is it possible to read text from a PDF file with PHP? How? There may be a free one, or even an OpenSource one, but I've never heard of it, possibly because they'd have to pay a license to Adobe (Macromedia this week?) to be legal... Free (as in beer): http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ It's built on top of Ghostscript... which AFAIK does most of the heavy lifting. Several licensing options too. This doesn't appear to read text from a PDF but, rather, create the PDF from text. Another, easy way to create PDFs with PHP is to use PDML: http://pdml.sourceforge.net/ As for reading the text from a PDF, maybe there's some sort of OCR library for PHP out there, but I don't know about it. It'd be a great thing to see, though. -- Ben Ramsey http://benramsey.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Due to PHPs dynamic typing, unquoted strings are treated as strings
unless a constant by that name exists. Thankfully it's clever enough to
raise a notice to tell you it couldn't find a constant by that name,
which makes debugging much easier.
The reason constant() throws a warning rather than a notice is because
PHP knows you're looking for a constant by that name and flags it as a
more serious error, wheras before, it could just be that you want to use
an unquoted string :)
If you think it's a bit strange, it may seem so, but logically, if an
unquoted number is equivilent to it's quoted counter-part, the same must
be true for strings.

I did.
echo constant('CNST');
shows nothing (except the warning)
echo CNST;
shows CNST (and a notice).
This makes perfect sense to me to differentiate between them like this.
ok - agreed that the echo behaviour is logical - but I wasn't actually
pertaining to the echo behaviour (and what was being echo'ed wasn't
relevant to my
original question).
my point is that using a constant directly in your code when that
constant doesn't exist
only causes an E_NOTICE but passing a string to constant() when a
constant of the given
name doesn't exist causes an E_WARNING.
I would either expect both to cause the same level of error OR that
trying to
use an undefined constant directly in code would cause a lower level of
error.
but if you say the error output behaviour is expected/correct/desired
then I'm
happy to except it (and adjust my expectations accordingly)
- if you (anyone) could explain why (because I don't grok the logic behind
this behaviour) I would be very grateful, maybe it will bring me one
step closer
to being able to call myself a real programmer. :-/
anyway thanks for taking the time to reply,
I gather that you, Derick (amongst others!), have a plate full of PHP work

If you would like to have a secure PHP setup, you'd better go on the manual way, and set every option carefully. This automatically working setup gives you an instantly working PHP installation, but it is not meant to be used on online servers. Ok, now I see the root of your comment. Maybe it's just me but I never assume that any automatic installation will create a secure environment. The reason for that is that the installer cannot possibly know what it needs to do to make the system secure - that's what sysadmins are for. I must also point out that a system that used this installer to set up PHP can be secured in exactly the same way as any other in much the same way as anyone doing it manually can create a setup that is less secure than using the installer to do it for them. So, I was technically wrong but IMHO the point is flawed since nothing should be assumed to be secure out of the box.

On Fri, July 1, 2005 6:36 am, Nadim Attari said: Richard Davey a écrit dans le message disjointed nature of the content isn't the authors fault, it's just the way they are edited at the moment. Regular columns (such as Security Corner in php|a or Guru Speak in php-mag) are helping to address this, but what you won't find in them are all the authors working together to address a specific topic. For example in most development magazines I read they'll often have a theme for the issue, i.e. security, and then the articles will be centered around that theme from differing levels of complexity and scope. I am sure the current crop of PHP magazines will migrate towards something more coherent in structure as time goes on (and their circulations increase), rather than feeling like a grab-bag of non-specific PHP goodies as they do today. I actually PREFER the disjointed nature, myself. One issue is that if your Editor decides to focus on XYZ, then really good timely articles may get bumped back, or even permanently ignored, because they never quite fit in to any given theme... With the current grab-bag, I feel like I'm getting whatever somebody finds intersting right now, which I happen to like in a magazine. If I wanted a more structured themed topical approach, I'd go looking for a book or Google for that topic and survey what's out there I could easily be the lone wolf on this one...
