[PHP] Re: Sorting parsed XML
I'm trying to write PHP code that will not only parse the XML but also
allow me to sort the parsed information by the values parsed.
Current code
==
class RSSParser {
var $insideitem = false;
var $tag = "";
var $ServerName = "";
var $ServerStatus = "";
var $ServerType = "";
var $ServerPopulation = "";
function startElement($parser, $tagName, $attrs) {
if ($this->insideitem) {
$this->tag = $tagName;
} elseif ($tagName == "SERVER") {
$this->insideitem = true;
while (list ($key, $val) = each($attrs)) {
switch ($key) {
case "NAME":
$this->ServerName .= $val;
break;
case "TYPE":
$this->ServerType .= $val;
break;
}
}
}
}
function endElement($parser, $tagName) {
if ($tagName == "SERVER") {
printf("\n");
if ($this->ServerType) {
printf("%s (%s)\n", $this->ServerName,
$this->ServerType);
} else {
printf("%s\n", $this->ServerName);
}
if ($this->ServerPopulation > 0) {
printf("%s\n", $this->ServerPopulation);
} else {
printf("%s\n", $this->ServerStatus);
}
printf("\n");
$this->ServerName = "";
$this->ServerType = "";
$this->ServerPopulation = "";
$this->ServerStatus = "";
$this->insideitem = false;
}
}
function serverData($parser, $data) {
if ($this->insideitem) {
switch ($this->tag) {
case "POPULATION":
$this->ServerPopulation .= $data;
break;
case "STATUS":
$this->ServerStatus .= $data;
break;
}
}
}
}
$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
$rss_parser = new RSSParser();
xml_set_object($xml_parser,&$rss_parser);
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "serverData");
$fp = fopen("http://www.camelotherald.com/xml/servers.xml","r
")
or die("Error reading RSS data.");
while ($data = fread($fp, 4096))

I've reviewed many online and book references and none have been helpful
in helping me to determine the way(s) in which I could do such a sort
from the parse code I have found to work very well. I have tried
looking for a way to also append multiple XML RSS files in one (all
sharing the same structure) into one and then sort according by a value
there. I am new to PHP and XML.
Any help and references would be greatly appreciated.

Aye, this is essentially what I need help with, is making the array.
What I'm looking for is a way to put the data into an array and then
sort it based on the user's want and then print it out in a table
format.
I've already got the xml info working as intended:
http://www.rpgtimes.com/daoc/
But what I've tried with getting the data placed into an array so far
hasn't worked. Not many parsed XML examples out there or anything the
10 odd books I have help me with this. Books, I've found, in general,
can't help me with most of my array needs due to their very basic
examples and descriptions.
I am about to try doing an array as such:
Instead of:
function serverData($parser, $data) {
if ($this->insideitem) {
switch ($this->tag) {
case "POPULATION":
$this->ServerPopulation .= $data;
break;
case "STATUS":
$this->ServerStatus .= $data;
break;
}
}
}
Something to this affect:
function serverData($parser, $data) {
if ($this->insideitem) {
switch ($this->tag) {
case "POPULATION":
$ServerArray[$this->ServerName][$this->ServerPopulation] = $data;
break;
case "STATUS":
$ServerArray[$this->ServerName][$this->ServerStatus]= $data;
break;
}
}
}
Course, I'm unsure how this will work (but I'll try it out) since
$this->ServerName may not carry to the $this->insideitem check. I would
then plan to use function endElement to determine the user's want and
then print the HTML out based on that, such as wanting the current data
sorted by population (default) or by server name, type, or status.
Sorry, I'm new to dynamic web page creation and especially to XML, but
I've got a love for programming and a head that just wants to learn more
of it, so I create tons of web sites based around my hobbies so that I
can practice and learn more. I'm glad I found this listserv and hope
you guys don't mind my questions.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

RE: [PHP] Re: Sorting parsed XML
Okay, that's neat and I get what you're saying with xml_process() to
handle this.
>From what I'm reading, it would not allow this sort of procedure, but
please let me know otherwise:
==
echo "" . $ServerName;
if ($ServerType)
{
echo " (" . $ServerType . ")\n";
} else {
echo "\n";
}
if ($ServerStatus == "Down")
{
echo "" . $ServerStatus . "\n";
} else {
echo "" . $ServerPopulation . "\n";
}
==
So, what would print in the first and 2nd column would depend upon the
results of one of two variables (1st column relies upon if there's a
$ServerType or not, 2nd column relies upon the $ServerStatus not being
"Down").
My problem is still my own, I can't get it so that when I parse, the
information is placed into an array that can then be used for sorting.
This would be ideal for me as I plan on reading from more than one .xml
(different structures as well) on the same page if I can get this to
work.
I guess what I'm asking for is a method to parse information into an
array and then sort it by any part of the array. I attempted the
$ServerArray[$this->ServerName][$this->ServerStatus] = $data in the
parse section (where $data = current node value), but it didn't work.
Again, thanks for all your help so far and in advance for any help you
can provide.

[PHP] xslt_process problem
I am trying to figure out the whole XML/XSL thing and am experimenting with the Gentoo docs which have a simple XSL sheet. I downloaded the XML, XSL and DTD, and ran the files through the Sablotron module in php using: $xp = xslt_create(); xslt_set_base($xp, 'file://c:/shared/mywebs/beta/test/'); $result = xslt_process($xp, 'rsync.xml', 'guide.xsl'); echo $result; xslt_free($xp); Everything worked like a champ except for one strange little problem: the XSL stylsheet defines anchors and links in a drop-down menu for each "chapter", sequentially... (as you can see here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rsync.xml) but in the PHP transformation with the local files, all of the chapter numbers and the numbers in the drop down are "1"! The guide.xsl I am using is online at: http://www.gentoo.org/xsl/guide.xsl and I am using a current rsync.xml from the CVS repository, so it has to be something in the local transformation with PHP. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Array instead of Switch
Let's say I need to take one of 20 actions depending on a form selection. I
could use a switch statement with 20 cases, but I could also do something
like:
// Pretend this comes from a form
$formchoice = "mars";
$response = array(
"mars" => "go_mars()",
"mercury" => "go_mercury()",
"earth" => "go_earth()");
foreach ($response as $choice => $action)
{
if (strtoupper($formchoice) == strtoupper($choice))
{
eval("$action;");
}
}
But are there even better ways?

Don't forget plus signs. When providing email addresses to lists and
web sites, I regularly tag my address (as the From address on this
message demonstrates). Using procmail for local delivery allows these
addresses to be delivered to my account, and I can more easily track
down the origin of "tagged" spam. When I come across a web site or list
that doesn't allow my address with a plus sign, I find another site or
list. So I use:
function isvalidemail($what) {
if
(!eregi('[a-z0-9][a-z0-9._=+-]*@([a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*\.)+[a-z][a-
z]+$',$what))
return(false);
list($user,$domain) = explode("@",$what);
if (!getmxrr($domain,$mxhosts)) return(false);
if (!count($mxhosts) > 0) return(false);
return(true);
}

What about those of us who run our own mailservers? A plus sign is a valid
character in an email address. Doesn't matter if places like AOL don't let
their users put it in their user's email addresses. There's no point in
*not* allowing it, since it *is* a valid character.

Justin apparently missed the message Dave replied to (which was mine). You
know what happens when you assume Justin? You make an ass out of you and
me. So here's a repost for you:
1. Registered globals are off.
2. Using super globals ($_SESSION instead of $HTTP_SESSION_VARS)
3. Setting via $_SESSION['var'] = $var instead of session_register('var')
4. Always calling $_SESSION['var'] instead of $var (registered globals are
off, so it really isn't an option, now is it?)
5. Unsetting via unset($_SESSION['var']) instead of
session_unregister('var')
Now, if any other geniouses would like to help me (or any other frustrated
4.3.1 users) figure out a solution for this vague error message, don't
follow Justin's very unhelpful footsteps.
Here's another odd tidbit: I was able to get rid of the message on one
page by taking out one of the selects in my MS SQL query. It mattered
specifically which column it was that I removed from the query and there
are no other variables throughout the entire project that match the
column's name. The warning only pops up on very specific pages, despite
the consistent coding style throughout the project.
Maybe I'll have better luck posting to bugs.

[PHP] Parsing fgetcsv using tab (\t)
I'm trying to create an form where the user can upload a datafile to the server. The datafile will be txt or csv and contain multiple records.

No. Checkboxes *only* send information if they've been checked. You might

Are you certain it is a space and not something like a linebreak? If it's

However, it works if I ommit session_start() >? I can't speak for the differences between 4.1.1 and 4.2.1, but maybe the following information will help you: On my site I have a custom error handler than displays a "friendly" error message screen and emails me an error report. I use output buffering because if an error occurs I don't want this friendly error message screen to be rendered in the middle of whatever else was going on when the error occured...I get the contents of the buffer and then and then call ob_end_clean() to empty it before I display the friendly error message. I noticed that this was not working properly on one section of my site that used sessions. I noticed that if I called session_start() and then an error occured, I got the error message in the middle of the the page, just as if I hadn't cleared the buffer. I then discovered why... I am using trans sid support to perpetuate the session id, and apparently this is implemented internally using an output buffer. Trans sid buffers the page output, then rewrites the hrefs and insert the hidden form values before flushing the buffer to the screen. Apparently you can start multiple buffers, and they are stacked. If you call a buffer function such as ob_end_clean(), it *automatically* operates on the last buffer in the stack...i.e. the buffer that was most recently created. In my case this buffer what the trans sid one, and NOT the one that I started. To make a long story short, I had to end up calling ob_end_clean() TWICE...once to flush the trans sid buffer and once more to flush mine. Maybe something similar is at work with your problem. Try calling the flush function twice back to back and see if that makes any difference...

Certainly. This is not a theoretical exercise but frustration with dealing with my own code, trying to implement revisions, and basically feeling like I need a map of some kind to know where I am. That's why I'm interested in what other people really do rather than theoretical models they think might be the "purest."

Hey guys. I have read a lot of different option to resize images. What about a script that will resize an image, constrain proportions, and add a background color to whatever is left. For example, I have a picture that is 600 (width) by 300 (height) and I want to constrain proportions, and resize this to 300 by 400 (width by height). There would be an extra 250 pixels left in the height, so now that gets filled in with some background color.

RE: [PHP] Re: Unicode translation
I'm not quite following this and I'm not sure what exactly you're having a problem with, but I'll try to explain some stuff that it looks like will help. Unicode(UTF-8) is a variable multi-byte format. Each character is represented by 1 to 4 bytes, UTF-8 character number 0x108(264) happens to require 2 bytes. So, if anything is trying to read UTF-8 characters with the rules for a single byte character set you will see the C Circumflex as two separate characters. UTF-8 should display fine on web page if you set the charset (like the previous emails incstructed you too) and the users OS supports UTF-8 (Windows 2000 and XP do, probably the recent flavors of linux as well). ISO-8859-1 (Which is the most prevalent character set on the internet) is single-byte. UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 do share characters, Every character from 0x00(0) to 0x7f(127) in ISO-8859-1 is a single byte character in UTF-8, with the same nubmer. So if you are trying to display one of these characters in the other format, it will appear normal, while all UTF-8 characters 0x80(128) and above will be different and not display correctly. Are you just trying to store data to be able to retrieve it later? A block of text submitted to a webform maintains the character set of the webpage that submitted it (at least in my experience, there may be some exceptions to this though it is dependant on the browser). So you shouldn't have any problems displaying the data if the character set on the submitting page and displaying page are identical. If a character doesn't fall into a particular character set, there is no way to store it. UTF-8 is a good catch all because it can handle just about any character out there.

RE: [PHP] can't access a GET variable on function?
$emailto is in the global scope, so it's not accessible like that.
You can do it one of three ways:
$emailto = $_GET['EmailTO'];
function wtemp_mainbody() {
global $emailto;
print "Contact (";
echo $emailto;
print ") Info";
}
or
$emailto = $_GET['EmailTO'];
function wtemp_mainbody() {
print "Contact (";
echo $GLOBALS['emailto'];
print ") Info";
}
or (recommended)
function wtemp_mainbody() {

echo $_GET['EmailTO'];

RE: [PHP] mail question (mime)
I see 3 problems with your final output (though there still could be more)
1) Each header has to end in \r\n, \n usually works but it's supposed to be
\r\n
2) This:
$headers .="Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary=\"--i0o9u8h7g65v\"";
should be this:
$headers .="Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary=\"--i0o9u8h7g65v\"";
or this:
$headers .="Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary=\"--i0o9u8h7g65v\"";
A header can continue on the next line for readability, but it has to start
with whitespace (space or a tab), otherwise it trys to create the boundary
as a new header.
3) The final boundary must end in -- as well as start with it
so:
$message .="--i0o9u8h7g65v";
should be
$message .="--i0o9u8h7g65v--";

Subject: [PHP] mail question (mime)
Greetings all. (hope this isn't a second post, first try seemed to fail)
In an effort to understand more about mime mail, I'm writing a
little function to send a multipart/alternative encoded mime mail from a
browser interface. I know you guys have answered these types of questions
many times, but I've googled and research til I'm blue. I'm still somewhat
new to php so I apologize. I'm on a shared hosting environment running
Apache 1.3.29 (Unix), magic_quotes_gpc = on, path to sendmail =
/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i, smtp is localhost on port 25 (and I don't know
much about Unix permissions). My client platform is Mac, my email client is
Outlook Express (might as well be testing to the lowest common denominator).
I've found lots of php classes on mime mail but have not tried them because
I want to understand the code.
I can use this code to send plain text email or html email just fine, but
not multipart/alternative or mixed. Here's the relevant code. Can someone
point out the error of my ways?
browser interface: 5 fields (3 input of type=text, 2 input of type=textarea)
names:
$from
$to
$subject
$text_msg
$html_msg
On submit, I trim all and stripslashes on the textarea inputs (interesting
that magic quotes seems to add slashes to textarea inputs automatically),
then set my email headers:
$headers ="From: {$from}\n";
$headers .="Reply-To: {$from}\n";
$headers .="Return-Path: {$from}\n";
$headers .="Subject: {$subject}\n";
$headers .="X-Sender: {$from}\n";
$headers .="X-Mailer: PHP\n";
$headers .="X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
$headers .="MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .="Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary=\"--i0o9u8h7g65v\"";
$message ="--i0o9u8h7g65v\n";
$message .="Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$message .="Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";
$message .="Content-Disposition: inline\n";
$message .=$text_msg."\n";//plain text message here
$message .="--i0o9u8h7g65v\n";
$message .="Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$message .="Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n";
$message .="Content-Disposition: inline\n";
$message .=$html_msg."\n";//html message here
$message .="--i0o9u8h7g65v";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
The email is sent successfully, but with no message in the message body.
Looking at the message source I see that all of the headers are set and I
see the boundaries and I see both versions of the messages as one would
expect. It all looks correct, even as compared to other mime encoded email I
receive and read just fine. I've tried many variations on these variables.
FYI, if I change the $header = "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; ";
to $message = "Content-Type: ..."; then I see the raw code in the message
body, but of course that does no good. Same results when message is viewed
in a browser based hotmail or yahoo account.
I simply do not understand what I don't understand, so I don't know how to
ask my question. Is this a coding problem, sendmail, permissions, a server
issue???
Thanks for your help.

[PHP] Internal Searches on Windows 2000 Server / Apache
Hi. I am trying to implement a search feature for a corporate website, but haven't found anything that is viable. My main problem seems to be that there are fewer options out there for PHP/Apache/Windows. ht://dig is not available for Windows. The Google Web API has several limitations which we wouldn't want(Such as: only 10 results per query, Limit of 1000 requests per day, possibly buggy code as it's still in beta) I've also considered writing my own code to index all the pages and put them in a DB for the search. I feel confident I could do it, but it would take a long time and would be much better if there was another solution out there. Are there any other options out there for me? I'm open to just about anything. Thanks, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] PHP: remote file open problem
I suggest you read http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php The GET method shouldn't work (though it may be possible). In all likelihood your browser is just sending the local filename as a string and not attempting to upload the file at all. You need to use the Array $_FILES['Filename'] to access the various bits of data about the file. Try doing print_r($_FILES); in upload.php to see if it's there. I would guess that a host that does not allow the POST method would not allow file uploads at all.

RE: [PHP] html or php to pdf whith pdflib?
Hi Reicardo,
This can't be done by using the pdf_* functions in php without reading the
whole source file, parsing the HTML and then working the $x and $y for each
line.
There are some alternatives. If you don't really care to much about
formatting you could try this:
$pdf = pdf_new();
pdf_open_file($pdf);
pdf_begin_page($pdf, 595, 842);
$font = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Times-Roman", "winansi", 0);
if ($font) {
pdf_setfont($pdf, $font, 10);
}else{
die("Font Error");
}
pdf_set_value($pdf, "textrendering", 1);
PDF_show_wraped($pdf,strip_tags(implode("",file($filename))), 50,750,500);
pdf_end_page($pdf);
pdf_close($pdf);
$data = pdf_get_buffer($pdf);
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=test.pdf");
header("Content-length: " . strlen($data));
echo $data;
function PDF_show_wraped(&$pdf, $text, $left, $top, $width){
$fontsize = pdf_get_value($pdf,'leading');
$length = pdf_stringwidth($pdf,$text);
$textHeight = ceil($length/$width)*$fontsize;
$h_align='left';
while(pdf_show_boxed($pdf,$text,
$left,$top,$width,$textHeight,$h_align,'blind') > 1){
$textHeight += $fontsize;
}
$top-=$textHeight;
pdf_show_boxed($pdf,$text,$left,$top,$width,$textHeight,$h_align);
return $top-$textHeight;
}
Of course you would need to do something about page wrapping but that should
be quite easy.
Also you could exec() an external programme like txt2pdf
(<http://www.codecuts.com/mainpage.asp?WebPageID=156>). I have seen a
html2pdf as well but can't remember where right now.

Try looking at the data that's supposed to be outputing the pdf. Something
may be failing somewhere and you might see an error message. If you don't
see any error messages and are apparently seeing gthe pdf data, check for
whitespace outside php tags and any extraneous echo's or print's, that would

Thanks for the help. I went through a troubleshooting phase that started
with writing the raw data from the mysql client to disk. Checking the size
it was apparent that it was much too small. I tried running my script with
a smaller pdf and it worked. It turns out that blob has a max of 64k. A
tad small for general use for holding graphics. I changed to a mediumblob
which is either 12 or 16 meg, I'm not sure off the top of my head now but,
that is plenty for my needs. I did end up changing the behaviour of my
script though. Instead of writing to a file and using load_file, I recieved
the file on upload, base64 encoded it and stored it directly to the db.
Then on retrieval, unencoded and handed it off with content type, size,
name, and application information in the header. It works very nicely.
Thanks again...

does the escaping etc. How can I "un-escape" the data? The only thing I
saw on the mysql manual is on how to use load_file_infile/load_file_outfile
which does not apply to this. Can someone lend a hand here?

[PHP] Re: File Upload on a MAC-Browser didn't work
I had a similar problem, but never found an answer. In my situation, the
browser hung when I uploaded a file greater than 800 records. I found a post
that said I should echo something to the browser on a regular basis during
the upload, but that didn't work.
This is still of interest to me to solve. Perhaps we can together find a
solution

Hi,
The following script works on any browser on windows xp. But not on a mac
(osx)
It simply shows the temp-directoryname.
Is anybody out there who could help me to fix this problem?
How will the upload work with Safari?
Thanks for your help.
This is the form for the upload:
The following site checks the uplad and copies the file to a specific
folder:
// if the Picture was uploaded
if ($BildDatei!="" AND
is_uploaded_file($_FILES['BildDatei']['tmp_name'])) {
// Check for JPG
if ($_FILES['BildDatei']['type']=='image/pjpeg') {
// Move File
$TestFile=$UserCoverDir.$ISBNFeld.".jpg";
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['BildDatei']['tmp_name'], "$TestFile");
}
} else {
echo "Save unsuccesfull";

[PHP] Can't upload file greater than 11kb
I've got a situation where I want to upload a file to a server then enter the data in that file into mysql. I have used this well documented upload form Send this file: script on many php servers. However I am on one now which is not allowing me to upload a file greater than 12kb. I know the upload_max_filesize is 2M but something else is stopping the upload and I don't have a clue what it is. I know you should include in the above form but that is only a convenience for the user. This particular server is running php as a cgi module.

Re: [PHP] Can't upload file greater than 11kb
I don't believe that the MAX_FILE_SIZE needs to be there. It will only terminate the upload process at the client, rather than wait for the upload to complete. Anyway with or without MAX_FILE_SIZE the upload process is being terminated after the file is uploaded. When the form is submitted, the selected file is uploaded to the server's temp directory then copied to the maps dir. For some reason, when the file size exceeds 11kb (very small) the process gets aborted (with or without MAX_FILE_SIZE). I've put in diagnostic messages and the POST script throws an error message if it can't find the file in the temp directory. I've uploaded several file sizes up to the max of 2MB and it appears the file is being uploaded. I base this assumption on the fact the upload time is proportional to the file size. When the file size is greater than 11kb it appears that the file is deleted from the temp dir. Still no idea what is going on.

It has been my experience that max_file_size does terminate the upload process if you include it in the form. But you are right, if it gets to the upload, your stuck.

Re: [PHP] Can't upload file greater than 11kb
Since this install of PHP is a CGI module, the server limits any execution to 30 seconds. Why should upload_max_filesize be greater than post_max_size? Why would this have any effect on a file size of 11kb?

Re: [PHP] Can't upload file greater than 11kb
The application is going to being supplied to a number of customers who may not know how to or don't have the ability to create/modify a .htaccess file. I tend to agree with Raditha about this being an Apache issue. Upon complaint to the hosting provider about this issue the did something that increased the upload file size to several hundred kilobytes. They claimed it has something to do with the temp dir where the file is being uploaded to. My suspect now is this issue has nothing to do with php. I'll bet I could write a cgi script as an action to the form and would encounter the same problem.

[PHP] replacing null characters
Hi all,
I'm trying to work out how to replace '^@' characters with 0's. I've even
tried replacing them with another character, and back to 0's again.. it
still comes out as '^@' (which I'm guessing is null). The '^@'s only appear
when a 0 is the first character in $value, the rest are ok.
I've tried like this.. -
$value = str_replace(0,"",$value);
$value = str_replace("","0",$value);
this -
$value = str_replace(0,"0",$value);
no luck.
any suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris Smith

[PHP] Warning
For those of you using Interbase: Chris CERT Advisory CA-2001-01 Interbase Server Contains Compiled-in Back Door Account Original release date: January 10, 2001 Last revised: -- Source: CERT/CC A complete revision history is at the end of this file. Systems Affected * Borland/Inprise Interbase 4.x and 5.x * Open source Interbase 6.0 and 6.01 * Open source Firebird 0.9-3 and earlier Overview Interbase is an open source database package that had previously been distributed in a closed source fashion by Borland/Inprise. Both the open and closed source verisions of the Interbase server contain a compiled-in back door account with a known password. I. Description Interbase is an open source database package that is distributed by Borland/Inprise at http://www.borland.com/interbase/ and on SourceForge. The Firebird Project, an alternate Interbase package, is also distributed on SourceForge. The Interbase server for both distributions contains a compiled-in back door account with a fixed, easily located plaintext password. The password and account are contained in source code and binaries previously made available at the following sites: http://www.borland.com/interbase/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/interbase http://sourceforge.net/projects/firebird http://firebird.sourceforge.net http://www.ibphoenix.com http://www.interbase2000.com This back door allows any local user or remote user able to access port 3050/tcp [gds_db] to manipulate any database object on the system. This includes the ability to install trapdoors or other trojan horse software in the form of stored procedures. In addition, if the database software is running with root privileges, then any file on the server's file system can be overwritten, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary commands as root. This vulnerability was not introduced by unauthorized modifications to the original vendor's source. It was introduced by maintainers of the code within Borland. The back door account password cannot be changed using normal operational commands, nor can the account be deleted from existing vulnerable servers [see References]. This vulnerability has been assigned the identifier CAN-2001-0008 by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) group: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2001-0008 The CERT/CC has not received reports of this back door being exploited at the current time. We do recommend, however, that all affected sites and redistributors of Interbase products or services follow the recommendations suggested in Section III, as soon as possible due to the seriousness of this issue. II. Impact Any local user or remote user able to access port 3050/tcp [gds_db] can manipulate any database object on the system. This includes the ability to install trapdoors or other trojan horse software in the form of stored procedures. In addition, if the database software is running with root privileges, then any file on the server's file system can be overwritten, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary commands as root. III. Solution Apply a vendor-supplied patch Both Borland and The Firebird Project on SourceForge have published fixes for this problem. Appendix A contains information provided by vendors supplying these fixes. We will update the appendix as we receive more information. If you do not see your vendor's name, the CERT/CC did not hear from that vendor. Please contact your vendor directly. Users who are more comfortable making their own changes in source code may find the new code available on SourceForge useful as well: http://sourceforge.net/projects/interbase http://sourceforge.net/projects/firebird Block access to port 3050/tcp This will not, however, prevent local users or users within a firewall's adminstrative boundary from accessing the back door account. In addition, the port the Interbase server listens on may be changed dynamically at startup. Appendix A. Vendor Information Borland Please see: http://www.borland.com/interbase/ IBPhoenix The Firebird project uncovered serious security problems with InterBase. The problems are fixed in Firebird build 0.9.4 for all platforms. If you are running either InterBase V6 or Firebird 0.9.3, you should upgrade to Firebird 0.9.4. These security holes affect all version of InterBase shipped since 1994, on all platforms. For those who can not upgrade, Jim Starkey developed a patch program that will correct the more serious problems in any version of InterBase on any platform. IBPhoenix chose to release the program without charge, given the nature of the problem and our relationship to the community. At th

[PHP] Encryption
Hi, I am trying to do a simple encryption on a credit card number to store in a mysql text field. I also have to de-crypt the number after exporting to an access db. I tried to use xor encryption, but it seems to only work half the time, the other half, I can't seem to de-crypt the # properly, some of the numbers end up screwed. Is this because of the way mysql is storing the field? Mabye it can't recognize some of the characters that are generated from the xor encryption? Ex: 123456789123 may end up 1 YdR and then de-crypts to 1234(*$8912# Is it the that are the problem? Or is the the access database that isn't properly storing the ? Is there a better way to do this? Thanks, Chris
[PHP] PHP not proccessing input?
Help!

Yet, if I use PERL, I can read the posted info just fine. PHP does work fine with normal php forms. Why can PERL recognize my data, but PHP not, how are they handling the posted info differently? Is there a way I can get PHP to display the raw data that the script receives so I can see what is happening? Thanks for any help, Chris

Re: [PHP] Help, Perl can, Php can't !
Strange,
phpinfo is showing this:
POST /members/plurp.asp HTTP/1.1
and a content length of 16, which is exactly right forlah=sd&dta=test
but I can't seem to get to the actual data.
Is there a way to see the acutal content data, like you can with perl:
read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});

[PHP] File sending?
Hi, Is it possible to send a file to a browser? I would like to allow people to download a file, but I don't want to give away the path to the file, so a normal link wouldn't work. I am hoping there is a way to use php to send the file using code, rather than trying to first copy the file to a temp dir then give them the link, then worry about deleting the temp dir again. Thanks, Chris

[PHP] MySQL - Problem with multiple INSERTs?
Howdy,
I'm getting weird problems trying to INSERT to two different tables, in
consecutive mysql_queries. Before, I had 3 queries going, and only 2 would
work at any time. It seemed like it was 'rotating' the bad query - first
the 1st query would fail (the other two were fine), then I'd empty all my
tables and refresh, and this time the 2nd query was the problem, and if I
did it again the 3rd was. All queries worked fine in phpMyAdmin, both
individually and when executed en masse.
I've boiled it down to just two queries that don't work. I've included
everything below (including table schemata), to enable reproduction. It
seems like a bug to me - the question is, is the bug in PHP, MySQL, or my
brain?
This is driving me CRAZY
- Chris
mysql_connect("localhost", "myusername", "mypassword");
mysql_db_query("DocCountry", "INSERT INTO projects (idCreator, name,
comment) VALUES (1, 'sysmsg9.txt', 'Some file')");
mysql_db_query("DocCountry", "INSERT INTO files (idProject, name, comment)
VALUES (1, 'sysmsg9.txt', 'Some file')");
CREATE TABLE projects ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, timestamp
timestamp(14), idCreator int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, name varchar(80) NOT
NULL, comment text NOT NULL, authLevel varchar(32) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY
(id) );
CREATE TABLE files ( id tinyint(4) NOT NULL auto_increment, idProject
tinyint(4) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, name tinyint(4) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
comment text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) );
(P.S. I've tried things like using SET syntax, using mysql_query instead of
mysql_db_query, etc. Nothing helps.)
