authenticate.php
Then authenticate.php authenticates against a database of allowed users

So basically I think I need to create a cookie from index.php OR
authenticate.php and then pass the information to admin.php.
I set the cookie like this...
setcookie(Admin, $username);
Which file(index.php OR authenticate.php) do I create the cookie and
how
do I access the information in the cookie on admin.php?

You're not storing anything usable in the adminpass cookie, are you?
It sort of sounds like you're storing a password, or even a passhash,
in the cookie and you might want to rethink what that cookie contains
to prevent session hijacking.
Yeah, I am storing an unencrypted password in the cookie. Should I encrypt
it, if so how, if not what should I do?
I am new to programming and PHP web development so I am not aware of all
the security problems that can occur.

That's an enormous question without an easy, or even a correct answer.
I'd start by googling around for session hijacking. One of the
things that's probably not PC to say, is don't learn to prevent
session hijacking, learn to hijack sessions. Once you know how to
hijack a session, you can audit your own code and fix the security
holes.
Although the best advice would probably be to find someone else's
session implementation and use that, seeing as there's no real reason
to recreate such a worn-in wheel.

[PHP] Call to object function, want to PHP interpret returned string
Hi
At the top of a webpage I have:

include_once(furniture.php);
$myFurniture = new furniture();
echo $myFurniture-getTop(my company title);
?
to deliver the first lines of HTML, everything in HEAD and the first

In the furniture object in getTop(), I want to return a string that
includes the CSS file that I call with an include_once. But the
include_once isn't interpreted by PHP, it's just outputted. So from:
$toReturn = !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0

?php
include_once('styles3.txt');
?

return $toReturn;
I get
?php

?
in my code.
Do I really have to break up my echo $myFurniture-getTop(my company title); call to getTopTop,
then include my CSS, then call getTopBottom, or can I get PHP to interpret that text that came back?
PS. I may be stupid, this may be obvious .. I don't program PHP every day

First guess is that your page doing the including doesn't have a filename
with a .php extension, and your server is set to only parse php in files

[PHP] Object type determined at runtime
Hey everyone. I have a question. Hopefully it's clear, because I'm not sure quite how to ask it. Basically, I have a variety of different objects that a variable can be instantiated as in the same block of code, its type being determined at runtime. I want to be able to do something like this: $object = new $objType(); Where $objType is the type of object, which must be determined at runtime. I'm sure the syntax I have above is incorrect. My question is, is there any way that I can determine the object's type at runtime and do the same type of thing? Thanks!

My name ich Chantale, I am 15years old and in a german Lycee. I like to study
Informatic in two years and now try to code my first applications. I am new to
php and like to code my own Intranet Web-Interface which should run on my

I have installed suPHP, but it seems to be not the thing I need, because it
works only on a VHost.
What I need is, that a ${USER} can login and work on her/his ${HOME}.
How can I archive this?

$a-e();

You're asking a different thing there, but I'll throw it in for completeness:

[PHP] Function parameter passed by reference with default value to null
Hi,
I would like to know if I am alone to be shoked by this :

function foo( $bar = null)
{
}
foo() ; // runs
foo(null) ; // raise an error
== 8 ==
Why the default value to null for a reference is allowed ? Is it a
bug, a feature ?
Thanks !

You appear to be using the definition of null that comes from the
world of C. A null in PHP is not the same as a null in C - it's a real
value (of type null), not the absence of a value. So what you're doing
is the equivalent of passing a literal value, something you can't do
when the function is expecting a reference.
See the manual for more info on the null type: http://php.net/null

You appear to be looking for the eval function: http://php.net/eval
However, in 99.99% of cases using eval is not the right solution. In
your case there are two ways to solve it.
The first way, assuming the thing you're trying to include is a
stylesheet, is to use an external link to a CSS file. That would be
the normal way to include a stylesheet in an HTML page and is far
more efficient that including it inline.
If it's not just a stylesheet that you're including then you'll want
to load the file in the getTop method. For example...
$toReturn = !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN' ;
$toReturn.= file_get_contents('styles3.txt');
$toReturn.= '..';
Simple as that.

The actual question is : why PHP doesn't raise an error ?
This functionality (default values for passed-by-reference parameters)
was added in PHP5.
The problem is that you can't pass literals by reference (which makes sense):
function f($a) {}
f(45); // error
But default values must be literals (which also makes sense):
function f($a = $_POST) {} // error
So there's some serious impedance mismatch going on there to make both
features to work together. Just think of the default value as
something I can overwrite, eg:
function f($a = 45) { $a = 99; }
So it doesn't really matter if it starts off as 45, 'Hello World' or
null... it's going to get thrown away at the end of the function's
lifetime, anyway.

[PHP] Advise on starting a web store site
Hi, I'm going to start my first e commerce website for a small web shoe store. I think I know enough PHP to keep my head above water, I'm using an add on shopping cart package to deal with the transactions. My question is, what's the best way to design a site where each product appears to have its own page. Is there a way to create the site *without* having each product have a physical separate page ? Is there a method of web design which makes creating new pages simple if they all follow the same pattern. i.e thumbnail, description etc. Thanks guys, Matt. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What this will do, essentially, is create a prettier URL, so something like: http://www.example.com/path/to/cart.php?product_id=1234group=987 could become: http://www.example.com/p987/1234.html or really anything else that you'd like, depending on how you write your scripts.

So determining which is better and/or more secure is really a matter of the data held there and how it's handled. If storing things like usernames or you absolutely want to store personal data in an active session, do so in $_SESSION. If you're storing a password or credit card number in the active session, you may as well do it in $_COOKIE, because you're already using an insecure model. ;-P -- /Daniel P.

Re: [PHP] Lookup domain in directories VS database
2009/7/5 Martin Zvarík mzva...@gmail.com:
Imagine you are hosting 10.000 subdomains.
Consider it done.
[snip!]
Everytime visitor hits the page you do:
@include('t/test-subdomain.freehosting.com/conf.php')
if (!isset($CONF)) die('such a subdomain does not exist');
vs
Everytime visitor hits the page you connect search in a MySQL table having
10.000 rows with each domain name and a text field (export_var()) that has
some parameters you need.
Okay.
What's better?
This depends on so many external variables that it's really
impossible to give a good answer. However, while there would be less
overhead to read a small file, I would not give the user the option to
modify a local PHP file (your first solution), which they could do if
it was stored in their local directory. Conversely, moving it outside
of the user's directory and allowing them to read it from a central
location opens your sites up to some major XSS issues.
So a properly-indexed database would most likely be your best
solution, based upon the limited information we have here so far. All
in all, if you're running the server as a host with thousands of
sites, you are probably better able to better decide what's in the
best interest of yourself and your users considering the above.

[PHP] Resources for unit tests
I am using Mike Lively's test-harness.php http://www.digitalsandwich.com/test-harness.php with test-more.php from Apache::Test for my unit test framework. I have also begun writing stubs for PostgreSQL functions to run behind that. These tests will be run on our function libraries as part of the build process just after code is checked out from the VCS system (Perforce), but before creating the installation RPMs. i.e. if a unit test fails, report the error and don't build the RPM. I am having some difficulty with the Postgres stubs that we don't have the experience to figure out. Some functions return a resource, which appears to be a complex form of array. Is there any way to build one through PHP code, or do I even need to. Since these resources will only be passed back into a later database call, can I simply replace them in the stubs with an array? We don't expect to dereference them anyway. Thank you, Bob McConnell -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

MySQL for example... select * from table limit page,numrows I would strongly recommend against storing any large dataset in a session since it will likely be as expensive to load it in as it would be to do the database query again. Based on the way you've phrased your question and the 2000 per page I'm guessing you're not doing this for display purposes. If you're wanting to lighten the load on the server while you process the 16,000 rows you might want to look into mysql_unbuffered_query which requires a lot less memory than mysql_query.

set_include_path(MY_DOC_ROOT . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());
include 'MY_php_functions.inc';
which I call with:
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/MY_inc_php/incsInAllPages.inc';
really basic stuff.. humbling for me, coming from other languages/

And now I'll throw a monkey wrench into the gears and tell you
that, yes, it works, but don't always rely on it. The path translated
to/from the web server may not be the real path. And while you could
do your translation with realpath(), instead you should look into:
?php include(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).'/include/file.php'); ?
The example above uses the always-on reserved constant __FILE__
for the file in which it's written, regardless of how it's accessed
(as an include, etc.). So consider the following:
/home/user/public_html/index.php
/home/user/public_html/web/home.php
/home/user/public_html/templates/body.tpl.php
/home/user/public_html/include/file.php
In the example above, imagine that you access 'index.php', which
includes 'home.php', which - in turn - includes 'body.tpl.php' and
'file.php'. Using $_SERVER data will use the information given to it
by the webserver at the point of the call: in this case, from
/home/user/public_html/index.php. As such, the include path will be
relative to that. So if you're including a file in ./web/home.php,
you will need to hard-code the adjustment to account for the
difference.
Conversely, using the code example from above (and building upon
it), we know that __FILE__ remains static regardless of the point of
the call. Thus, it's a better and more reliable method, and is usable
even if $_SERVER data is not available to the script.
With this in mind, it should be quite simple to understand how the
following should work:
?php
// My Name: /home/user/public_html/web/home.php
$file_to_include = dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).'/include/file.php';
if(file_exists($file_to_include) is_readable($file_to_include)) {
include($file_to_include);
} else {
// Do your error handling here.
}
?
but to each his/her own! ;-P

I would expect it to be:

Data After: oo oo oo o
---
Data before: ффф
Data After: фф фф фф ф
But what I get is:
Data before: ooo
Data After: oo oo oo o
---
Data before: ффф
Data After: ффф
Did I go about this the wrong way or is this a php bug itself?
I tested this in php 5.3, 5.2.9 and 6.0 (snapshot from a couple
weeks ago)
and received the same results.

From the manual on PCRE syntax:
A 'word' character is any letter or digit or the underscore
character, that is, any character which can be part of a Perl 'word'.
The definition of letters and digits is controlled by PCRE's character
tables, and may vary if locale-specific matching is taking place. For
example, in the 'fr' (French) locale, some character codes greater
than 128 are used for accented letters, and these are matched by \w.
These character type sequences can appear both inside and outside
character classes. They each match one character of the appropriate
type. If the current matching point is at the end of the subject
string, all of them fail, since there is no character to match.
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want (or if it might let more
things slip past than you intend), but try this:
?php
$data = 'ooo';
echo 'Data before: ', $data, 'br /';
$data = preg_replace('~([\w\pL\.]{6})~u', '$1 ', $data);
echo 'Data After: ', $data;
// UTF-8 Test
$data = 'ффф';
echo 'hr /Data before: ', $data, 'br /';
$data = preg_replace('~([\w\pL\.]{6})~u', '$1 ', $data);
echo 'Data After: ', $data;

-Original Message- From: Wolf [mailto:lonew...@nc.rr.com] Sent: Monday, July 06, 2009 8:10 AM Basically, go smack whomever told you to load all that stuff into a session. It's a paging query that you want to do, but I'd not recommend doing it to store it in a session. You can store all that stuff into a session, but you risk putting a greater load on the users session then you would be putting on the database server. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/select.html You want to use limit. As for storing all the results, there most likely isn't a reason to, however if you must do it that way (perhaps you have a and button or something to step through), then I suggest you save the __row ID's only__ in a $_SESSION array variable and do a SELECT via the ID (and LIMIT 1 can't hurt either in case you're storing a SKU_ID or some other unique key but it's not a primary key) as you're stepping. This way your bulky query is only done once. This is a more advanced technique however and may be confusing to you if you don't know what you're doing. You can also pull all these items faster on subsequent pages by doing an WHERE item.id IN ($myarray) type of deal (pseudo code of course). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] How to stop E_DEPRECATED messages in the PHP log?
Hi: I am hoping someone can help me figure this out I've just upgraded my PHP installation to 5.3.0. Now I am receiving thousands of log messages of the form PHP Deprecated: I know I have a number of scripts that use now-deprecated functions, etc. and I now know what those are, thanks to all the messages. However, this is now growing to (literally) gigabytes of log entries, so I'd like to stop the messages until I have the time to re-write all the offending scripts. I have tried the following error.reporting lines in php.ini: error_reporting = E_ALL ~E_DEPRECATED E_ERROR E_WARNING E_PARSE E_NOTICE E_CORE_ERROR E_USER_ERROR E_USER_WARNING E_USER_NOTICE E_COMPILE_ERROR E_COMPILE_WARNING error_reporting = ~E_DEPRECATED E_ALL E_ERROR E_WARNING E_PARSE E_NOTICE E_CORE_ERROR E_USER_ERROR E_USER_WARNING E_USER_NOTICE E_COMPILE_ERROR E_COMPILE_WARNING error_reporting = E_ALL E_ERROR E_WARNING E_PARSE E_NOTICE E_CORE_ERROR E_USER_ERROR E_USER_WARNING E_USER_NOTICE E_COMPILE_ERROR E_COMPILE_WARNING ~E_DEPRECATED error_reporting = E_ERROR E_CORE_ERROR E_USER_ERROR E_COMPILE_ERROR E_COMPILE_WARNING ~E_DEPRECATED error_reporting = ~E_DEPRECATED E_ERROR E_CORE_ERROR E_USER_ERROR E_COMPILE_ERROR E_COMPILE_WARNING (as you can tell, I prefer verbose logs, but not that verbose...).

Kim, this is exactly what I was looking for. I had been over

And now I'll throw a monkey wrench into the gears and tell you
that, yes, it works, but don't always rely on it. The path translated
to/from the web server may not be the real path. And while you could
do your translation with realpath(), instead you should look into:
?php include(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).'/include/
file.php'); ?
The example above uses the always-on reserved constant __FILE__
for the file in which it's written, regardless of how it's accessed
(as an include, etc.). So consider the following:
/home/user/public_html/index.php
/home/user/public_html/web/home.php
/home/user/public_html/templates/body.tpl.php
/home/user/public_html/include/file.php
In the example above, imagine that you access 'index.php', which
includes 'home.php', which - in turn - includes 'body.tpl.php' and
'file.php'. Using $_SERVER data will use the information given to it
by the webserver at the point of the call: in this case, from
/home/user/public_html/index.php. As such, the include path will be
relative to that. So if you're including a file in ./web/home.php,
you will need to hard-code the adjustment to account for the
difference.
Conversely, using the code example from above (and building upon
it), we know that __FILE__ remains static regardless of the point of
the call. Thus, it's a better and more reliable method, and is usable
even if $_SERVER data is not available to the script.
With this in mind, it should be quite simple to understand how the
following should work:
?php
// My Name: /home/user/public_html/web/home.php
$file_to_include = dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).'/include/file.php';
if(file_exists($file_to_include) is_readable($file_to_include)) {
include($file_to_include);
} else {
// Do your error handling here.
}
?

this is great, but then I still do not have a solution that will work
for any level deep of dir/ .
I.e. this-
dirname(dirname(__FILE__))
gives the correct first part of the path to document root like
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] does
only when called from a file that is 2 levels deep.
I want something that will work for calling an include from any file
that lives n levels deep.
Isn't there anything reliable that effectively says, from document
root??
I do not really understand why
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
should return the right data at one time and not at another. (?)

In general it will always provide the right data, but as the manual says: The entries in this array ($_SERVER) are created by the web server. There is no guarantee that every web server will provide any of these; servers may omit some. The problem could arise if the script is transfered unto a web server where the $_SERVER array (or parts of it - in this case the document_root part) has been disabled. Take into consideration where the script/program has to run and whether it is likely to be moved around to different web servers with different setups. Also, what is the difference between a path that starts with /, versus the same path but that does not have that leading /, or that same path but prefixed with ./? I.e., this: /somepath/includes/file.php This depends on whether the web server is running in a chroot. If the web server for example has access to all files on the machine and isn't running in any kind of chroot or limited setup, then /somepath is located in the very root of the directory on that particular hard drive (or partition) and /somepath is NOT a sub directory of another directory. So you would see something like this (if you are not using Windows): /var/www/mywebsite.com/ /somepath/includes/file.php /usr/sbin/ /home/foo/ versus this: somepath/includes/file.php This depends on where your script is running from. If your script is running in: /var/www/mywebsite.com/myscript.php Then the above would become: /var/www/mywebsite.com/somepath/includes/file.php If your script is running in: /var/www/mywebsite.com/subdirectory/myscript.php Then the above would become: /var/www/mywebsite.com/subdirectory/somepath/includes/file.php versus this: ./somepath/includes/file.php Its the same as somepath/includes/file.php a ./ means current working directory.

That's where you have to define a variable (or constant) that
tells the system where the web root is located, and then use that to
determine where you are in relation to that. For example:
?php

for($i=0;$i(substr_count($me,'/') - substr_count($root,'/'));$i++) {
$me = dirname($me);
}
return $me; // Returns the resulting path.
}
return false; // If we were unable to get the path.
}
/*
Then use it as follows, presuming this file is
named /home/user/public_html/web/home.php
*/
if(($path = relate_path(__FILE__)) !== false) {
include($path.'/include/config.php');
} else {
// Handle the error for the incorrect inclusion attempt.
}
?
Voila!

I.e., this:
/somepath/includes/file.php

versus this:
somepath/includes/file.php
is a relative path from wherever the file is called.
versus this:
./somepath/includes/file.php

I'm loathe to turn this code into substr's of the input line, has anybody any other ideas? You could get fancy and handle this with different classes for each different filetype. Build a parent class which is extended for each child class. Or you could just use arrays. Since arrays in PHP can store any type of data in virtually any configuration, they are roughly equivalent to a struct in C. The union part isn't necessary, since you can simply redefine an array or define a different array, depending on the circumstances. Your last paragraph puzzled me. I'm guessing that you're reading from the file some header info (to determine the file type) and then reading the rest of the file one struct at a time? If so, no, you can't do that in PHP that way. You could use an fread() call, and read in the number of bytes you want for a given struct/array, but you're still going to have to parse the bytes to put them into their respective array members. You might also try fscanf(), but I'm not sure it will understand binary data in your file (like floats). Also look at pack() and unpack(), as these will, to some extent, read and write binary values.

[PHP] Re: best way to properly build an include path *regardless* from where I am calling the include?

I am confusing myself reading the docs just now.
i.e.:
include_path
basename()
and dirname()
I had thought from many months ago that
?php include '/somedir/somefile.php'; ?
would include
somefile.php
living in
somedir
regardless from where in the site structure I am calling it.
Now it does not seem to be doing that.
What is the safest (portable) way to properly build an include path
*regardless* from where in my site I am calling the include?
If I understand right I can put includes in a dir/ specified by the
include_path setting, but I also want to know how to do this from just
within the root of my virtual server.
I have developed a quite sophisticated development system, which enables me to
have
several different websites using the same software, and allows them all to
share the same
utilities. I know some of you don't like some of the methods I use, but I think
the
general idea is relevant to this discussion.
Each website has a local directory:
D:Websites/Website_1
D:Websites/Website_2
etc.
I also have an independent directory containing the common utilities for all
the websites:
D:Utilities
Each website has one or more divisions, corresponding very roughly to photo
albums. It
also has one directory containing the developmental version of the program, and
a second
containing the working version of the program e.g.
Dev
Wkg
Album_1
etc.
The remote version of each website only has the directories:
Wkg
Utilities
Album_1
etc.
a new web page is invoked with the command:
http://localhost/Website_1/index.php
or
http://www.corybas.com/index.php
If I want to ensure that a fresh version is loaded I add the parameter: ?new=1,
and if I
want to invoke the developmental version, I followed this with the parameter:
local_dir=Dev.
In either case the program index.php is loaded. This has the following code:
?php
$wkg_dir = 'Wkg'; $dev_dir = 'Dev'; // Default working version
$program = 'Mailmerge.php'; // Name
of main
program
$new = false;
if (isset($_GET['new'])){ $new = $_GET['new']; }
if ($new == 1) // Unset $local_dir if 'New' set
{ if (isset($_SESSION['local_dir'])) {
unset($_SESSION['local_dir']); }
}
if (!isset($_SESSION['local_dir'])) // Set up session variable
'local_dir'
{ $_SESSION['local_dir'] = $wkg_dir; }
$local_dir = $_SESSION['local_dir'];
if (isset($_GET['local_dir'])) // Get local_dir, if passed as
parameter
{ $local_dir = $_GET['local_dir']; }
$local_dir = (rtrim($local_dir, /)); // Verify valid directory
// if (!array_key_exists($local_dir,$dirs)) { $local_dir = $wkg_dir; }
if ($local_dir != $dev_dir) { $local_dir = $wkg_dir; }
// Transfer to real program
include ($local_dir.'/'.$program);
?
The main program begins by checking whether or not it is running on my home PC
(using a
procedure which caused someone here to say 'Yukk'), but which seems to be both
logically
sound and reliable.
* ---
1.00 Check if running on home PC set up defaults
---*/
$home = strtr(getcwd(),\\,/); // Ensure Home contains forward
slashes
if (substr($home,0,2) == 'D:')
{
$is_local = true;
if ($local_dir == 'Dev')
{ $util_dir = $local_dir; }
else { $util_dir = 'D:/Websites/Utilities'; }
}
else
{ $is_local = false; $util_dir = 'Utilities'; }
include ($util_dir.'/Std_utils.php'); // Load standard utilities
// Start real work:
If the parameter $is_local is set, I have access to a suite of editing
facilities, and
other private areas. These are not present on the public copy, and there is
nothing on any
of the menus to suggest that anything is missing.
The parameters $is_local and $local_dir are cached, so they only need to be
specified when
the page is first loaded.
I never change the working directory (and it has never yet changed by itself),
so I can
load anything in any subdirectory simply by specifying the local path. I also
realised
while I was writing this that there is no real reason to have separate Wkg and
Utilities
directories (other than that if I only had one version of the program for all
local sites,
it would make the result of any bug that made it to the working version
potentially that
much more serious).

Re: [PHP] best way to properly build an include path *regardless* from where I am calling the include?
I'm not sure how this could be made simpler. $site_root = realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR; Call that in any file in the root of *your* web directories, and you have what is essentially the document root for *your* site. Presumably, you know the *relative* directories of all your files. Simply append those relative directories + filenames to the $site_root variable, and you're done. Paul Paul, you are right. what you say above is very simple. I guess I just did a poor job of communicating what I was after. What I wanted was: ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ..but an equivelent that would work on any server, even if ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] was turned off. SO that I could build a universal global include path that would not break in any page, even if I later moved the page up or down a directory.. never requiring editing, despite the page's URL changes. -G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
