Re: [PHP] A Licensing Question
Chris Hayes wrote: At 17:17 22-1-03, you wrote: I was wondering what the licensing issues for app frameworks (or any included PHP classes/libs) are. I'm creating a rather large PHP application for a company, and they'd like to potentially resell it to some of their customers. Can I safely use GPL'd libraries, classes, etc. (i.e. PearDB) and resources that fall under other open source licenses when developing the app and let them redistribute accordingly, or would that be a violation? Also, thinking ahead here a bit, if they wanted to use something like Zend Encoder on the project, what sort of added gotchas could that bring up? Thanks guys! John The GPL can be a headache to figure out when it gets to complicated situations. My uneducated working conclusion is that the GPL prevents you from selling GPL-ed code as is, or improved GPL-ed code. Selling GPL-ed code, even if you improved it, is dead wrong. Even if you eventually totally rewrote the code. you absolutely *may* sell gpl'd code - that's why you see boxed sets of Linux distributions on the shelves. It's just that if you take gpl'd code and modify it - then when you release it to a third party (whether you charge money or not) you must release this new version also under the gpl. The GPL is incompatible with per-seat licenses and the third party is free to copy and if they wish, resell your code. So traditional models of selling computer software don't all work with gpl'd code. However - if you want to sell software under a closed licence you will need to be carefull to avoid 'linking' with gpl'd code. The problem is that 'linking' as used in the gpl seems to refer to C programming - and is an unclear term when refering to php. I'm sorry if that fails to give a clear cut answer - this sort of thing does not seem to have been testing in the courts yet ... -- Sean -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Also, speaking of detection, I made a small script that can protect against
people downloading your site's forms, modifying their new local copy (and
putting an absolute URL in the form's ACTION attribute), and then posting
data using the botched form. If it's bulletproof, then I figured this could
help some of you out. If not, I welcome comments (I'm a little bit hesitant
of calling things 'bulletproof'). $http_referer (lowercase) is the
parse_url() of $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]. Some local mucking up can give you
the format you want for it.
if((count($_POST) > 0) && (!stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"],
$http_referer))) {
unset($_POST);
$evil = "postedfromoutsidepage";
}
Then, you can test for $evil when you need to print an error message or
decide whether or not the data is proper.
HTTP_REFFERER is sent by the client and is not a secure value
it is easy to write a script in eg PHP that will fetch a web page with a
completely bogus referrer url...
some people argue that cheching the referrer url 'raises the bar'
security wise - personnaly I think this sort of illusory security leads
to complacency in data checking.
I think it is better to always remeber that data can be posted to your
server by many means - treat all data as suspect until proven otherwise.
In addition this method can make code less portable between servers.

Your instincts serve you well. There are two types of attacks to worry about in this situation, depending on who can see this "image". If only the user who submitted the URL can see it, then your users only risk CSRF attacks, which are not very common (yet) but are very dangerous. If everyone can see the "image", then your application is also at risk of XSS. If you realize that an embedded image is requested separately by a Web client, you can see that this basically allows an attacker the opportunity of forcing another user to visit a URL of the attacker's choice.

For related information on this change, read the configuration entry for register_globals, the security chapter on Using Register Globals , as well as the PHP 4.1.0 and 4.2.0 Release Announcements.

index.php was a wrong one ! normally it should return another error
related to script not to dns !
I don't get a dns error on this
I get - 'zero sized reply'
can someone explain me this ?
Is this caused by server configuration or something else ?
I would say that a php error cannot directly cause dns problems - so the
error message may be wrong ! (what is generating the message ?)
this is the correct script url : http://www.dynamix-tn.com/
and this is the wrong script url : http://www.dynamix-tn.com/index-old.php
in localhost the index-old.php return this error, wich i think should be the correct error message
at least i can understand that my script is wrong):
Warning: fopen("tmp/sample.htm", "r") - No such file or directory in tmp.class.php on line 43
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in tmp.class.php on line 44
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in tmp.class.php on line 45
on your test system - are these error messages the first thing outputed
if the hosting setup is configured not to report error messages - you
may just be getting an error and no output.
you may be able to override the error reporting on a per-script basis
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php
also you could check that the file exists before opening it.

Re: [PHP] How to display field after MySQL join.
Stephen of Blank Canvas wrote: Hi Everyone, I'm trying to display the content of two mysql tables on a single page, I have successfully joined them with the following statement. $query = "SELECT serv.*, cat.* FROM site_services AS serv, site_servicescat AS cat WHERE serv.servicescat_id = cat.servicescat_id AND serv.theme_id = $DomainTheme AND serv.status = 1 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 3"; you can do select name.cat as cname, name.serv as sname which would give $row['cname'] and $row['sname'] or you could use the numeric indexes ($row[0], $row[1] etc) or use print_r($row) to see the array contents in detail This works great but my problem is I have a field in each table called "title", if I use the normal function of $row[title] I get field from the "site_services" table but I cannot work out how to get the "site_servicescat" title field. I have tried $row[cat.title] but all I get is errors. Any help would be really appreciated as I think it's just me missing something basic.

Re: [PHP] Unable to match dollar sign in preg_match

I don't know. I just got that from reading the manual. The very first
user comment on the preg_match page.
to put a literal dollar sign in a regex it has to be escaped \$
to put a backslash in a double quoted string you have to escape it \\$
in order to put a literal dollar sign in a double quoted string you have
to escape it \\\$
or you can use sinlgle quotes - where you only have to escape the dollar
sign once to mark it a a literal dollar sign and not an end string/line

preg_match('/\$example/' , $matchme))

If you want to use some of PHP's special characters in your expression,
such as $, you must escape it twice. For example:
$matchme = "\$example";
if (preg_match("/\$example/", $matchme)) {
will not be matched because PHP interprets the \$ and passes it as $.
Instead, you must do this:
if (preg_match("/\\\$example/", $matchme)) {

preg_match ("/^.*_\%split\%_$(\d*\.\d*)/", $data, $match);

Re: [PHP] MySQL vs PostgreSQL
Youy are unlikely to egt balanced asvice on this in the MySQL or Postgress lists -after all those people have already made thier decision. I haven't used Postgress much - but basically... Mysql - available on loads of hosting packages, very large user base. PostgreSQL - better adherance to ANSII standards, resulting in more portable code. Implements VIEWS, subselects and foriegn keys. Mysql is faster (as long as you don't need the missing features) It is better established, and things like subselects are being worked on, foriegn keys are already partially implemented. The docs for both projects have sections on camparing to the other (I think they both cheat a bit and compare thier newest version to a slighlty older version of the other project) Sean Rick Emery wrote: You accidentally published this to the wrong email list.

Assuming $url is what you have above:

$slash = strpos($url,"/",$tilde);
$length = $slash - $tilde;

Or you can use a regular expression, but the above is probably faster.
preg_match("!(~[^/]*)/!",$url,$match);
or
preg_match("!(~.*)/!U",$url,$match);
In my tests, the first solution (using strpos) was the fastest by 35%.

Hi John,
Ive been very interested to note that you seem to have a very keen idea

just open it in the right mode
if you just need to add to the end of the file without doing anything
else with it first
$fp = fopen ("/home/rasmus/file.txt", "a");
'a' - Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the end of the
file. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.

then use fwite to actually write to it
