It should then parse the results so that I can feed them back to the user in a form that I choose. How should/can I go about this? TIA.

RE: [PHP] Sessions and Load Balancing
We use sessions on one of our extremely large (read: may load balanced servers). Our solution is to store session data in the database.

I started the developing of a site with the idea of using sessions. Can I continue using sessions when I point the session_save_path to a directory on my domein? Or do I run into problems? I thought that the SID returned to every browser (client), so when I store the session on my domein, every server can find the ID, right?

if (strpos(SCRIPT LANGUAGE = Javascript,$input_string)===false) {

You'll have a lot of problems, though, because
1. You also need to check for script type=text/javascript;
2. You have to strtolower() both strings in order to eliminate
capitalization
differences;
3. and the tougher: how do you check for this one:
script language ='javascript' \t, where
\t
is a tab character? And obviously all the possible combinations...

RE: [PHP] crack lib
This could easily and quickly lead to a philosophical argument about the merits of such software/libraries/etc. Is the best way to secure software and hardware to take away the resources to try to break them? This only leads to more and more poor programming. As long as these tools are out there, it should keep all of us on our toes, and programming with security constantly on our minds.

RE: [PHP] Re: Remote image
Is anyone familiar with the overhead that this type of system might create, as compared to a standard request/response to apache? That is, to have PHP intercept the request for an image, check HTTP_REFERER - if it is null or from the local server, open the file, redirect to browser, close file, if not serve a default error image. Also, would there be any danger (to the files in particular, but also with runaway processes or files left open) in using this method if a user cancels the request mid-stream?

RE: [PHP] Help creating an image repository/library.
You don't want to store the files in the root public directory. Create a subdirectory for uploads, 'public-html/uploads' for example. Make sure it's permissions are 755. From the command line, 'chown nobody,nobody uploads' would do it. The syntax for chown is 'chown user,group file/directory'.

RE: [PHP] sorting for thinkers:)
Put the email addresses in an array:
$email[] = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$email[] = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
$email[] = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
Then sort like so:
function cmp ($a, $b) {
return strcmp(stristr ($a, @), stristr ($b, @));
}
usort($email, cmp);
You now have a properly sorted $email array.
