Re: [PHP] How to test the load

I'll have to see where I can find it, but there are several scripts that will make 
requests in
growing increments until either the server gives out or the script does.

  Hi!
 
  I wanted to know if there is a PHP code or function that would allow
 the
  PHP to issue the UNIX command.
 
  What I'm doing here is I'm trying to tell PHP to create a file by
  issuing hte UNIX command then I can use the PHP to open the file to enter
  the data.  Once I'm done with the file, I can use the UNIX to run the
 script
  in the file to communicate with the modem by executing the file.  When I'm
  done then I can open an another file to grab the data that had be received
  by the modem and do the PHP things to do something with hte data.  When
  done, then I can use the PHP to tell UNIX to delete the file and Voila!
 
  Thanks,
   Scott

Re: [PHP] PHP Logo?

2001-12-21 Thread Dan McCullough


i think the conversation lost momentum over the last weekend, i would like to 
interject some
thought onto the subject, that someone who designs logo's as a job told me about the 
process.  the
process wasnt setup for success if the people that are responsible for php needed to 
drive the
discussion and offer some guidelines, and ideas for the new potential logo.  the 
process seemed to
take a life of its own and spawned discussions that took off all over the place, 
rather then a
focused discussion.  the person that told me this, didnt have a problem taking those 
ideas and
working up several mock logos, and then working on this finished project, but it 
seemed the
further along the path we got on the discussion, the further off track we got.  there 
seemed to be
a lack of direction and a lack of a process.

subdomains that failed.

[PHP] using PHP on forms submitted to other sites - HELP

2002-08-16 Thread Dan McCullough

We have a client that has a form that submits to a payment processor to handle the cc 
processing. 
The visitor gets what he wants and then comes to a verification page on our clients 
site.  He
wants to buy it so he clicks the submit button and hes gone, to the payment processors 
site.  We
want to send a notification that someone has placed an order, not that they got to the 
payment
page.  So I have tried using onSubmit on the form and then placing the function name 
in there, but
that doesnt work, its a function written in PHP to send a mail alert.  Any thoughts we 
dont want
the alert going to the guy until the visitor actually hits the submit button, and once 
it leaves
the return notification from the processor is very limited, so I can't send it on the 
return from
teh processor.

Help please :)

[PHP] A quick question - Help Please !

Hello everyone,

I have a quick question.

I am trying to do two seperate things on one submission, it would be easy if I was 
submitting to
my own page, but I am submitting to a payment processor company, and so several things 
will occur
off-site, and there is nothing that comes back from the payment processor when then 
payment is
made so I can't handle it on the return.  And so what I am doing now is when you land 
on the page
to confirm that you want to place the order an email is created and sent to the owner, 
I would
like that to only get sent when the submit button is clicked .. and yes I have tried 
onSubmit with
it calling my php function.  

Any thoughts?

thanks,

  That's REALLY strange that the payment site doesn't return anything...  So
  the user just hits a dead-end or what?  Can we see a test site?
 
  And the fact that it all needs to be secure makes it a little more
  challenging.
 
  Essentially, what you need is for one form to POST to two separate
  scripts... one local, and one on another server.  My thoughts are that
 you'd
  need to POST to a local script which produces the email AND THEN submits
  info to the merchant.
 
  But the fact that this probably needs to be done:
  a) with POST
  b) with SSL
 
  Will prolly make it very tricky.  Search the archives for emulating POST
  or faking POST, because I know it's been discussed before.
 
 
  Yes, you probably CAN do it with javascript, but I'm not sure I'd be
  comfortable relying on it AT ALL -- if it doesn't exist, then your site
  breaks -- either the email or the merchant stuff will break if you rely on
  JS.

   you land on the page
   to confirm that you want to place the order an email is created and sent
 to
   the owner, I would
   like that to only get sent when the submit button is clicked .. and yes

  Strings are arrays, so you can print out a string by doing something like
  this:
 
  $string = hey there!;
 
  for ($i=0; $icount($string); $i++) {
echo strtoupper($string[$i]);
  }
 
  That's about all there is to it! :)  Use the strtoupper() function if you
  mean to have everything uppercase like in your example.

Re: [PHP] Re: Can If Else statements be split into code blocks??

2001-11-14 Thread Dan McCullough

If someone has already replied to this I apploigize for a double post.
You need to put in brackets after the if statement and end bracket before the else and 
then
another open after the else, lastly you need to close with a bracket.

Example:
  ?php
  if (strstr($DomResults,$Match)) {
  print Congratulations!  $domain.$suffix is available!;
  ?
  form method=POST action=step2.asp name=form2
pinput type=submit value=Register name=B1/p
  /form
 
  ?php
 } else {
  print Sorry, $domain.$suffix is already taken.;
  }?

I hope this help.  PHP is pretty easy, its just some differences that you need to get 
used to. 
Good luck.

 Ok, I figured out that just using echo seems to be the best way to do this

 The ()s here are kinda silly...  They tell PHP to evaluate the string 
 before anything else in the expression, and there ain't anything else in 
 the expression...
 
 It's like saying:
 
 $foo = (2 + 3);
 
 Doesn't hurt anything, but you look a bit silly...
 
  $result = mysql_query($sql);
 
 Add some code to the end of this line.
 
 At a minimum, use ... or die(mysql_error());
 
 That's actually not so good on a production server, as it will present icky 
 error messages to end users, some of whom might be hackers who then know 
 more than they should about the internal working of your 
 page/database/site...
 
 So, better is:
 ... or error_log(__FILE__ . ' ' . __LINE__ . ': ' . mysql_error());
 
 only now you'll have to do the following in a shell prompt:
 
 tail /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
 
 to see your error message.
 
  if(mysql_num_rows($result)  0) {   - line 61
  while ($stores = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) {

Re: [PHP] What kind of looping ?

2001-11-27 Thread Dan McCullough

try using $count=0; before the loop (while loop is fine)
then before the end of the loop $count++;
inside the loop if ($count % 4) {
that is where you want it to break and start running the other code
}

so you would have 
$table = table;
$counter = 0;
while ($tableset = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) {
$table = table;
if ($counter % 4 == 0) {
$table .= tr tdFILE 0/td tdFILE 1/td tdFILE 2/td tdFILE 3/td /tr;
} else {
$table .= tr tdFILE 4/td tdFILE 5/td tdFILE 6/td tdFILE 7/td /tr;
}
$counter++;
}
$table .= /table;

something like that, if this doesnt get the total desired result try playing with the 
% 4 == 0 to
like == 1 or 2, see if that gets a desired result.  please please this is some psudo 
code I threw
together you might need to tweek.

Yes most shared hosts will not allow the creation of multiple databases. Just one, so

 You do not need their assistance to use phpMyAdmin - it's just 
 another php site. All you need to do is edit its config file, where 
 you enter the database names, usernames and passwords for all your 
 databases. You can then choose a database from the phpMyAdmin home 
 page.
 
 The only limitation is I believe is that to create new databases, 
 you'll have to have create rights on the username for one of the 
 databases you set up, and choose that database in phpMyAdmin before 
 creating the new database with SQL.

[PHP] A few questions on switching redoing site in PHP

2001-12-04 Thread Dan McCullough

If everyone could gather around for a minute or two.  We are looking at switching from 
a
propriatary JSP/JS/Java based system and going to PHP as our ecommerce system.  We 
currently have
Oracle db and hosted on Sun equiptment, which we are in for another 3 years, although 
upgrades are
planned.  We hate the current system, it was picked for us in a closed room 
environment.  We have
been looking to get off ever since we launched, actually even before we launched.  I 
have been
developing in PHP before I got this job and advised against the vendor that we had, 
now I want to
develop my own system.  This is the backend systems we have.  One system that I'm not 
to sure of
is MQ Series, can PHP tie into that, or would we have to work around that, MQ messages 
back and
forth with our legacy system to give a real-time connection to our actual customer and 
inventory
and order processing pieces, although some C++ code sits between that and the JS 
layer.  Another
concern is how well does Sun and PHP get along, we have these nice boxes that is 
actually
handleing the memory hog that we have now, and I know that we couldnt just dump the 
servers. 
Anyone have an idea on a site that processes between 150-250 orders and averages $65k 
a day, if
PHP and MySQL can handle that, or would I have to go to something like MSSQL (I know I 
know MS and
PHP .. hahahahahaha).  All and any suggestions are welcome.

RE: [PHP] header(Location:blah...) - passing variables

It has been my idea to make a function, and pass the fields, then register a global

and then check one by one each required field, or what ever you are trying to verify 
in the
fields. 
function formCheck ($username,$password,$smellycat) { 
global $feedback, $username, $password;
if (!$username) {
$feedback .= Yo!  This ain't right ... fix it!;
return false;
}
blah blah blah ...

 My approach has been to pass an error code back to the original form.

  if ($errcode==1) print (Your user id is wrong. You suck);
  if ($errcode==2) print (Your password is wrong. You really suck);
  print(/form);

 Then in formVerify.php:

  if (userID invalid)
  header(Location: form.php?errcode=1);
  if (password invalid)

 You could probably also use cookies to pass the error code back and forth,

 I cheat and just include the original form on error ...
 
 Almost all my input values are set to PHP variables in the form. The 1st

 form, I check for validity. If there are errors I mark the errors, generate
 an error string, and include the form. That way all previously typed in data
 remains in the form without me having to tell the user to hit the back
 button, and there's no horribly long URL string resetting all those values.
 
 There's a bit more work than that (using htmlspecialchars et al.) but if you
 start creating forms with error checking  indication in mind it's really
 easy to do validation and redisplay if necessary.

Re: [PHP] forms PHP

2001-12-06 Thread Dan McCullough

In some browsers that is what will happen on a form, is that will process the 
infromation twice.
--- Richard S. Crawford [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I've done something similar like this:
 
   a href=javascript:window.back() Click here to go back /a 
 
 In the situations in which I've used it, the form data from the previous 
 page is still in the form fields.
 
 Potential downsides of this approach: the data has not yet been 
 processed.  Or, if it has been, you run the risk of processing it 
 twice.  Also, it may be unreliable depending on how the user's cache is set 
 up (though I've never had any problems reported to me).
 
 So, it may or may not suit your needs.

of this ugly part of the output.

Is there away that I can get the echo to stay off for that part.

of PHP in that way, instead of strange and slow.

Re: [PHP] Performance

2001-12-13 Thread Dan McCullough

Here is one thing that I do, of course there is 50 ways you can do anything.
All coding, well 90% of the PHP is done in the head, all output in coposed in 
variables, and
outputted through the code.  All SQL is done there as well, and an mysql close is done 
at the end
of that area.  If there is any logic in the where the html is, its smallish if else 
statments.

Small example.
?
all php logic.
$sql = ;
$cat_output = tabletr
while ($category = mysql($result)) {
$cat_output .= td.$category['name']./td;
}
$cat_output = /tr/table
$sql = ;
if () {
$subcat_output .= ;
} else {
$subcat_output .= ;
}
$sql = ;
$sql = ;
$sql = ;
mysql_close();
?

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN

/html


Something a little like that

 at the very end of the page (in the bottom of the footer.inc)? In other 
 words, is there any disadvantage performance-wise (or stability reason)

Re: [PHP] Performance

2001-12-13 Thread Dan McCullough

Well its like anything else, its personal preference and who your talking too, this is 
standard
coding pratice offered by our development firm, and I have continued the practice.  To 
be honest,
you should almost never have logic code contained on the same page as your 
presentation code.  I
have never run into a problem with people saying that they are seeing lags or such, 
but then again
that could just be because the code that is on those pages is compact.  Most ASP 
people and JSP I
know do it either this way for most of their code, there is some minor for loops or if 
statments
in the HTML code, either that or the have functions and class stored elsewhere.

 The problem with that is giving feedback to the user. If you're busy 
 generating a string to display to the user and the mysql server is 
 running slow, or for whatever reason, the user is looking at a blank 
 page until the process is completed entirely, then they have all the 
 data dumped on them at once.
 
 For someone on a modem, this is a bad thing, because first they're 
 waiting for the page to be created, then they're waiting for the data to 
 download.
 
 I've always been taught by people who have been working in this industry 
 for years (even back in my ASP days) that it's always best to send data 
 to the user's browser as soon as possible.

[PHP] Help help help ... or something like that

2001-08-24 Thread Dan McCullough

I have a burning question that needs to be looked at, and see if 
someone can give me an idea of a
way to get the desired result.  Are you ready.

Here is my problem, I need to strip out of an mbox file everything but 
the body of the email, now
to complicate matters this is an extremly large file, now seeing as it 
is a mbox file, and there
for has a set pattern of information display, I figure there must be 
some way of striping the
header information.  

Here is my code, which displayes the file, very easy and gives me the 
file size.

?
$fcontents =  file(/home/sites/projects/web/extractor/Main.mbx, 
r);
$file_size = filesize (/home/sites/projects/web/extractor/Main.mbx);
echo bSize of this file is/b -  . $file_size . brbr;
while (list ($line_num, $line) = each ($fcontents)) {
echo $linebr\n;
}
clearstatcache (void)
?

Here is the output resulting from the above code, I have only copied 3 
listings.

Size of this file is - 2915641

[PHP] Another question

2001-08-24 Thread Dan McCullough

Okay I have stripped all header and bogus crap out of this file.
Now I am left with formatting and breaking the data up.
How can I do that?

Here is the script that gets me a clean file and print out.
These a piece thats missing up that is a command line script that parses the file for 
this
information.

?
$fcontents =  file(/tmp/mail_file.tmp, r);
$file_size = filesize (/tmp/mail_file.tmp);
echo bSize of this file is/b -  . $file_size . brbr;
while (list ($line_num, $line) = each ($fcontents)) {
//name, address, city, state, zip, email, optin end of line
//can you remove the field name
echo $linebr;
}
clearstatcache (void)
?

Here is my output:

State:: CA 
Name:: Alan T. Lim

 Webservepro.com is the least

 I mean).  No default UPS - you gotta pay extra for that if it's that
 important to you (over 2 years hosting - 2 hours of downtime due to power
 issues).
 
 rackspace - we used to recommend them a lot, but since they've grown
 so much, their service has gone down in our experience.  
 
 exodus - darn expensive.  
 
 xo.com - again, darn expensive for what you get.  rackspace has/had
 the same equipment for about halfprice.  AND you get 'root' at rackspace -
 xo wouldn't give it out (well, we couldn't get it without signing a lot 
 of papers, etc.)
 and this was for a client.  It took 3 hours to get PHP installed because 
 it wasn't
 there by default, and we had no permissions to do anything.  That was 
 $699/month.  
 SAME machine at rackspace (same mhz, hd, etc) was $400/month, and you
 got root.

 Morning guys,

 this is not exactly a PHP question, but as I am sure that I am talking to
 more or less professional developers, I thought I might ask you.

 As I am working on some... well, for my standards... huge
 project, I thought
 that some kind of project management software would / could be helpful to
 keep track of my ideas, tasks and so on. Right now I am using a
 huge chunk
 of papers to keep track (as good as I can).

 Has any of you any experience with good project management software? Best
 would be OpenSource, of course :o) My boss doesn't want to spend a lot of
 money ;o)

 Cheers guys,

 Chris from sunny germany


 If you're working on your own, I would think realistically about how much
 you would use such software. I've used Basecamp, Trac, MS Project and
 others
 in the past and find them a waste of time. My favourite tool is simply an
 A4
 lab book. (I know this doesn't scale, but it fits the bill perfectly for
 now).

 For initial brainstorming/idea tracking, I do use FreeMind though.

function logError ($logentry, $lgname) {
// simple function to log errors to text/log file.
$logfile = @fopen ($lgname, a+);
 if (!$logfile) {
 echo (\n\n ERROR: Failed to open $lgname\n\n);
 } else {
 fwrite ($logfile, [.date (D M d Y h:i:s).] [$logentry]\n);
 fclose ($logfile);

where you want to log

logError($username.' has successfully logged in.','account.log');

 I agree that a computerized screen scrapper could still screen scrap

 a resource in a URL, would not work. Here is example:

 http://mydomain.com/view_resource.php?id=1
 http://mydomain.com/view_resource.php?id=2
 http://mydomain.com/view_resource.php?id=3
 http://mydomain.com/view_resource.php?id=4

 That would not work because my IDs are not sequential.

 Any thoughts...

Do your other pages link to the pages?

Because I don't need to PREDICT the URLs, just follow them from page
to page.

That's pretty much how a search engine works.

If you really want to stop a web-scraper, you pretty much have to
accept that you'll not be listed in Google (et al) as well.

Re: [PHP] Zend Studio, phpMyAdmin, and mysql.sock

2006-07-14 Thread Dan McCullough

in phpmyadmin config.default.php you can specify the socket that it
should be looking for. have you tried that?

David Tulloh,
 This sounds like a Zend Studio problem and question.
 It could possibly be a MySQL or even a phpMyAdmin question.
 It doesn't really have anything to do with PHP.

I realize that Zend Studio is separate from PHP, but I would hardly go
so far as to say it has nothing to do with PHP. Zend is the company
that *makes* PHP. Zend is a development environment for creating PHP.

So I don't think it's at all unreasonable to think that maybe there are
people here who use it (or even develop it) on this list.

And I do realize that Zend has its own forum, and I have posted there.
But the question has gone for days without response, so I'm broadening
my search.

What else should one do when one gets no response in a more specific forum?
 You paid Zend for the product, ask them how it works.

Well, what I have is the trial version, which they say they support, but
they have not responded to my email sent to them. So I don't know if I'm
far down the priority list for not having paid yet or if they just
usually take days to answer or what.

In any case, this list is called PHP general. Am I really so
unreasonable in thinking that asking about how to set up a PHP
development environment so that I can debug my PHP scripts without it
conflicting with the PHP database administration system is on-topic?

How is this different then what they try and sell you for $249.  I
have eclipse for Java development, and was looking at Zends package
for PHP development, but if they are basically selling me the same
thing then I would go with eclipse.

Did you look at this? I posted it earlier and although I've not hooked
up the debugger, AFAIK it's free (but provided by Zend), so it should
suit you nicely (except that you'll still need that extra gig of ram to

There are many payment processing script/classes/examples available

Re: [PHP] Remote Robot Control with PHP

Cool!

On 10/31/06, Prathaban Mookiah [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Hello List,

I thought of sharing my experience of writing a controller to remotely
control a robot through a webserver using PHP. Though I could not use PHP
alone to do the entire job due the high delay it takes to connect to the
telnet port on the robot, (I adopted the PHPTelnet class written by Antone
Roundy - http://www.geckotribe.com/php-telnet/), I could not resist using it
for some part of the application.

So the model I used for my purpose is this:

Browser - WebServer  - Java   Robot
  AJAX  PHP

I used PHP to communicate between the Java program which I run in the
background and the AJAX calls from the browser. This setup works fine for my
purposes and satisifies the strict time constraints.

If someone has a better idea of implementing this thing in PHP, please do let
me know your comments.

There is a lot more to do in this project and I hope to make use of PHP a lot
along the way. This is a NSF funded project and this work will be published
in some leading journals. What I am excited about is the prospect of putting
in a word about PHP in these journals, since as far as I know, it is not too
well known in the academic circles.

Regards,

Prathap

I unfortunately can't make it myself because I don't have the knowledge, can

Brynjar:

You say a little php script -- if you have no
knowledge of how to do this, then what makes you
think it's little? Stop and think dude -- you're
asking for code that will keep track of users,
passwords, deal with what happens if they lose
their password, keeping passwords secure, keeping
track of times on/off, and writing an admin to
review/edit times and edit users (add, delete,
ban) --this is not a little script.

Lastly, I think we all know that non-profit
simply means that at the end of the year you get
to roll your profits over to the next year
without incurring taxes on the excess. Nothing
more.

Plus, there's no limit or requirements as to the
amount/percentage you pay yourself as compared to
what amounts you apply to your cause. So,
mentioning non-profit to me is like saying
you're just another scam -- and one, who's
trolling for free php services.

Re: [PHP] help with some logic.

2006-04-04 Thread Dan McCullough
hey Dallas,

have you thought about breaking this up and making two seperate
functions one the checks the cookie and one that checks the session
information?  I'm not sure if that is what you were looking for as far
as an answer but it might be a good start.

On 4/4/06, Dallas Cahker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I've been looking at this code for a few hours now and I get the nagging
 feeling that I am overcomplicating something, something I never ever do.  I
 have a login that puts some information on the session, and if the customer
 wants they can ask to be remembered, the cookie is given the customers user
 name and another cookie stores a unique id, similar to a password I could do
 the password in a cookie as its md5 encrypted, but I went with an a unique
 id which is store in the user db.

 Anyway here is what I am trying to do with the code below.  The authorized
 user section requires 4 pieces of information, userid, password, username
 and user level, a person who logs in each time gets that information
 assigned to their session, that part works *knock on wood* perfectly.  When
 a customer says remember me they go away and come back a while later they
 are remembered, so that part works perfectly, however I need to get the
 persons information and put that on the session, however I would like the
 function to behave in such a way as to not overwrite the information each
 time the page load.  So for example the cookie is read the information is
 valid, the query to the db, the information set to the session.  You might
 wonder why I dont set the userlevel to the cookie, well I dont want someone
 changing the value of a cookie and getting admin access, which reminds me I
 should add that as a check.
 Thats about it.  getCookieInfo() the function inside the checkLogin function
 just looks up the information for the cookie in the db.  I know that someone
 is going to say something really simple that I am going to slap my forehead
 over, I would like to thank that person before hand.

 function checkLogin () {
  /* Check if user has been remembered */
  if (isset($_COOKIE['cookname'])  isset($_COOKIE['cookid'])) {
  if (!isset($_SESSION['name'])  !isset($_SESSION['id']) 
 !isset($_SESSION['level'])  !isset($_SESSION['password'])) {
   $cookieInfo=getCookieInfo($_COOKIE['cookname'], $_COOKIE['cookid']);
   if ($cookieInfo==0) {
return 0;
   }
   if ($cookieInfo==1) {
setcookie(cookname, , time()-60*60*24*100, /);
   setcookie(cookid, , time()-60*60*24*100, /);
return 1;
   }
   if ($cookieInfo==2) {
setcookie(cookname, , time()-60*60*24*100, /);
   setcookie(cookid, , time()-60*60*24*100, /);
return 2;
   }
  }
  }

  if (isset($_SESSION['name'])  isset($_SESSION['id']) 
 isset($_SESSION['level'])  isset($_SESSION['password'])) {
  if (loginUser($_SESSION['username'], $_SESSION['password'],'') != 1) {
   unset($_SESSION['name']);
   unset($_SESSION['id']);
   unset($_SESSION['level']);

php.ini-anal-retentive-paranoid.

I'm editing mine for that right now, everything is off, the sever has
a keyboard, mouse, monitor no cd/dvd, no floppy, no usb and is
unplugged from the network, there are 6 security guards that surround
you and they give you 5 minutes on a timer.

 Well, generally php comes with a php.ini-dist and a php.ini-recommended;
 for tighter security, use the recommended version.  Examining a diff
 of the
 files could help shed some light, as well.

 Of course, some of us could be waiting for the day when they ship with a
 php.ini-ironclad, php.ini-stealthmode, or
 php.ini-anal-retentive-paranoid,
 but I'm not sure those are slated, even for PHP6  ;-)

Re: [PHP] php security

2006-04-06 Thread Dan McCullough
Cool Chris I'm going to take a look at that movie.   Dallas there is a
section at the top of the ini file that lists some directives and
their status to address security or performance issues, but as Chris
mentioned your code could be as big of a risk as anything so pay
attention to that.

 Although there are some directives worth disabling (register_globals,
 magic_quotes_gpc, allow_url_fopen), most vulnerabilities in PHP
 applications are a result of flaws in the PHP code. There are no magic
 php.ini configuration directives that can make your applications secure
 - not that you were suggesting this, but it's woth explicitly stating.

 A couple of years ago, I tried to summarize several good practices into
 a single mantra - filter input, escape output (FIEO). These practices
 don't eliminate everything, but they're a very good first step and can
 provide a solid foundation for secure PHP programming.

 I made a movie (webcast, screencast, or whatever you call them) about
 auditing PHP applications, and it also covers filtering input and
 escaping output:

 http://brainbulb.com/php-security-audit-howto.mov

 There's also the PHP Security Guide:

 http://phpsec.org/projects/guide/

 We're in the process of writing a second version of the guide, in order
 to address the following shortcomings:

 1. The guide is several years old, so some techniques have been refined
 and/or simplified in the meantime.
 2. The vocabulary is slightly inconsistent with the rest of the industry
 in some cases.
 3. Not all major areas are covered, so it is incomplete.
 4. Some explanations are ambiguous and can yield misinterpretations.

 Lastly, I want to point out two of the primary attacks that are not
 prevented with FIEO:

 1. Cross-Site Request Forgeries (CSRF)
 2. Session Fixation

 Hope that helps get you started.

 Chris

[PHP] parsing/replacing for special MS Word characters

2006-05-24 Thread Dan McCullough

I have a friend who I wrote some very simple publishing software,
basically he takes his writtings and puts them online.  Well his
writtings are in Word and so he has alot of special characters that he
inputs, some unknowingly, into the database.  Are there any classes or
samples of what others have done to strip/replace/find these special
characters, I have asked him to be careful, but he will do it once or
twice and then forget and lapse, and I get a call saying can you help
me get these out.

Any ideas?

Re: [PHP] Re: Update site through email

2006-06-29 Thread Dan McCullough

There are several blog software packages and cms packages that do
something like this you might want to download and take a peek.

Wordpress one that comes to mind.

On 6/29/06, Mathieu Dumoulin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

How i'd do it is not simple, i'm sure there is an easier method but here
goes for mine.

First you have to setup an inbox that you can read, it can be POP3 or
IMAP, as long as your PHP script can read it it's fine.

Second, create a script that can actually connect to that inbox and read
for a new message periodically. You can use a CRONJOB or a Scheduled
Task if it's available, else, you'll have to check the mailbox from time
to time when your page launches from a web browser (Try not to do it all
the time or your page will suffer from this process if it is launched
all the time).

That script will have to read the emails in the inbox, finds the
appropriate email and stores the content the way you want, database or
file, your choice.

Then, your web page will have to read from that stored source of your
choice and echo the content at it's right place.

As you can see, it CAN be done, it's just a strange way of doing it.

Furthermore i see problems to that. You can probably get very easily
hacked using this method. Its easy to read the incoming data in the
server, find the email address used to update the content and then send
a mail yourself. There is nothing you can do to stop that except encrypt
your email using SSL... But thats a bit hardcore and there are much
simpler ways than using SSL encrypted email to update a page ;)

Re: [PHP] Re: creating a threaded message system--sorting messages

2006-06-29 Thread Dan McCullough

I've come into this discussion pretty late so please bear with me if I
go over something that has been ruled out.

You are trying to print out in a threaded method the first post in a
thread followed by each post after that, that is a child/reply to that
post.  Is that correct?

So something like

Example 1

Thread1
 Post1
   Post2
 Post3
   Post4
 .

or

Example 2

Thread1
 Post1
   Post2 - reply to post 1
Post3 - reply to post 2
   Post4 - reply to post 1
   Post5 - reply to post 1
Post6 - reply to post 2
 Post7 - reply to post 3


Example 1 is very common and is the easiest to implement.  From what I
remember you would need a couple of DB tables for post, post_thread,
post_post, thread

So for your question thread isnt very relative but I thought I would
throw it in.

thread {
threadid int(11) auto_increment,
threadname
threadsort
...

thread_post {
threadid int(11)
postid int(11)


post {
postid int(11) auto_increment,
postname
posttext
...

post_post
postid int(11),
postid2 int(11)


Please note I have two kids fighting over the cat, trying to cook
dinner and stave off a flood of water from the rising river so the SQL
structure is for example.

You can get everything in one query from the DB and lay it out based
on the id of the post, if you DB is properly indexed and setup and
queries are optimized you'll hardly notice a blip when the load gets
up.  You do not want to be doing multiple queries on a page when one
well written query will do the trick.

Either way if this is more what you are looking for we can get into
specifics later.

Hello,

As Adam pointed out, this can be deadly to your database, especially as the
number of posts grows. If you want to go that route, I would recommend
selecting all the posts in that particular thread and sorting the data out
in PHP somehow. No need to slam your database with (potentially) hundreds of
queries to display a discussion. Multiply that by several page views at
once...

If you don't mind the extra work and investigation, I would recommend
downloading some PHP forum software that supports threaded discussion and
see how they implement it. I found several listed in DMOZ:
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/PHP/Scripts/Forums/

Let us know what you come up with! I'd like to see how you work this out.
This is a good computer science type of problem with practical application -
the kind of stuff they should have taught me in school but never did. ~(o:

Best of luck,

-K.Bear

 SOLVED, almost. I read the article suggested by K.Bear and found the
 recommended solution to be a bit more complicated than I wanted to
 implement. I then found another way to do this using the existing
 Adjacency List Model through a recursive function. So basically, you
 query the database for the post_id of the very first post in the
 discussion. You then call a function that displays that post, searches
 for all children of that post and then calls itself recursively on
 each of the children it discovers. This works great for spitting out
 the posts in the proper order. Now I'm trying to figure out how to
 make sure the indenting looks right in the browser.

 - Ben

 Wouldn't that involve a separate SQL query for every post?
