[PHP] $this objects and vars
Hey there,
got a question about $this. I thought this was a fixed variable to point to
the currently used object but I've seen a script wherein it's used within an
object like this
class a {
$var = 0;
function b {
do something...
$this -var++;
}
}
the $this here will increment the $var of the object a... so far so good.
now further in the script you'll get an sql query
$this = mysql_fetch_array(indentifier);
now as far as I knew you shouldn't be possible to use $this for this purpose,
it has nothing to do with objects... why can it be used? it's only confusing
things. The script works tho...
As far as I've seen in other languages, the things the language contains
can't be used for something else (think they're called language constructs?!)
anyways it would be sortta like trying to define a function print while one
already exists natively in the language. You shouldn't be able to do that
right? Does anyone mind explain why $this can be used as a normal var? this
is very confusing. And what is php gonna do if you have a var $this and use
$this to point to the current object?
Kind regards and have a nice weekend

Please note that not all proxies will fill in HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR. Some will
obscure it others will not fill it in at all, either due to privacy or to
conseal things.
Okay, thanks. 'Cause I mean, the REMOTE_ADDR is still there. So you
mean that the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR isn't working while I'm working
localhost?
REMOTE_ADDR contains the IP of the computer that requested your page.
If it was a proxy doing the request, you'll have the proxy's IP in this
variable, and the IP of the computer that requested the page from the
proxy will be in HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR.
Thanks, never really knew that.
This means the best way to grab an IP is with a a function like this:
?php
function getIP () {
if (getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR)) {
$ip = getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR);
} else {
$ip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
}
return $ip;
}
?
Yeah, that's what I do. ;)
I'm unsure what happens with multiple proxies, and I'd be interested to
know - do you get an array of HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FORs? Do you just get the
first or the last?
Have no idea...

[PHP] Error Logging Question
Hey there, I'm playing around with the logging options in the php.ini file. I set this: display_errors = Off Because I don't want to visitors to see any errors (besides the errors I define myself in the PHP script, which is exactly what this does... I only print out things like can't open database which doesn't reveal sensitive data like paths and host) log_errors = On I need the error ofcourse :-) now I had error_log set. However, my error log resides in a root write only directory. My apache logs have NO problem with these permissions (apache logs are u root g root rw-r--r--) however appearantly PHP gets started only by the forked processes because it CAN'T write to a root log file if it's set in error_log so I unset error_log, now apache takes over the logging appearantly because the errors now show up in my apache error_log which is kewl. But this is what I have a question about I have not yet configured my own apache like this, but I saw this at my ISP. What they do is make VirtualHost containers in which each virtual host has their own log files. This is absolutely cool, because I can't read the log files from others and they can't read mine. But every user can read their own webserver logs. (you can't get into the user directory so you can't read the files either). Anyways, the question would be, if I don't fill in the error_log tag like I did now, will the errors in such a setup go to the general error file or does it go to the virtual host log file of the virtualhost it belongs too?

Else there will be questions. Personally I found it hard to believe as well. But I'm told that you can have the same power for like $ 100.000,- by buying the best price/performance now. Make no mistake, those machines only need a mainboard, cpu, cooler, powersupply and a network card. Even better, we're thinking about x86 hardware (you and me) be appearantly there is hardware on the market that was specifically crafted to decrypt stuff brute force. One of those would probably match like a 100 or maybe even a 1000 of the P-II 266 distributed.net has. Now if you're sure you can make $ 200.000,- by the credit card numbers/other info you gain from cracking it, it is already worth the effort. Btw, an Athlon 1400 does 5,3 MKeys per SECOND (RC5-64)!! and those are damn cheap... I urge you strongly to advise against that. Although it might be possible to downgrade your encryption to 40bit I'd like to make you aware of the fact that DES which is 56 bit encryption if I'm not mistaken was cracked several times by brute force in UNDER 22 hours by the distributed.net people (www.distributed.net). Therefore I would NOT consider 40 bits encryption safe and I feel obligated to make you aware of that. You are warned now :-) so do as you please. Erm, yeah true but by their own admission they used the equivalant of 16 PII 266Mhz machines to accomplish this. If you think someone is going to want your data and has those kinda resources available then yeah go for higher. However if thats your worry where are you going to stop in the length of your key?

sorry it was rejected the first time so there might be some garbage in it Whow, I'd have to check that :-) any crypto people here? :-) bitwise 56 is 40. Mathematically it would take a lot less time to brute force 40 bit than it would 56 bit. 40 bit = (2^40) 1.0995116278e+12 (1.099.511.627.800 possible options) 56 bit = (2^56) 7.2057594038e+16 (72.057.594.038.000.000 possible options) I'm am no crypto expert whatsoever, but it looks to me like you're done a lot faster if you only have to test for only 1.099.511.627.800 keys than for 72.057.594.038.000.000. The 56bit keys were cracked under 22 hours several times far as I know. Ofcourse this is also a quesion of luck. You might be a real lucky ass and get the correct key the first try. Then again you might be an unlucky ass and get the key at the last one to try. Once again, I'm NO crypto expert whatsoever. But it appears to me that 40bit encryption can't have more keys than that fit in 40 bits? Then again, maybe they mix several alghorythms I'd have to check.. I'm also sending this to distributed.net mailing lists. There are some crypto experts there, maybe they can shed some light on it. Hang on, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't 56bit DES significantly different from 40-bit SSL (which uses a 40bit key for the public key crypto and something like a 3000bit key for the symmetric cipher used for the actual data transfer). What I mean is, DES is significantly weaker than the weakest part of standard 40bit SSL yes?

damnit, anybody takes care of that!
Why I raised this issue is because I think people tend to get paranoid
about PHP. And that happens in both worlds - customers and developers.
Nothing to say about customers, I'd be careful too if I heard some dude
got intoxicated at a McDonald's in Bogota. My problem is with developers
- they got it in their head that variables are your enemy and initialize
everything nowadays - including local variables!
My question to you guys is this: does anybody know of a real example of
reasonably careful coding led to disaster with global variables?
2. Please enter your age: 25; drop database mysql
Does this actually work?
I've read at least a dozen articles telling people to get it in their
blood not to trust users and addslashes to any king incoming data, as
well as pass it as strings to mysql (insert into person set age='$age'
instead of insert into person set age =$age).
So I decided I had to test this: I wrote the code exactly as in the
example; I provided the exact dangerous input (well, to be honest, I
tried a select instead of drop mysql). When I tried it, the presumably
dangerous situation degraded into a trivial MySQL error. It went
something like You have an error near '; select 1+1'.
Did you ever actually try this? Does it work on your system?
Thanks in advance for the input!

Hi,
I have problem.
Everytime that I want to send email using a PHP script from my server, it
automatically appends the domain name of my server to the From: line.
else

$mailheaders .= From: XYZ company\n;
$mailheaders .= Reply-To: $email\r\n;
$mailheaders .= Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n;
$remarks .= brbr$items;
mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], quotation enquiry, $remarks, $mailheaders);
?img src=images/thank_you.gif?
}
}
As you can see from the example above , I use XYZ company , but in the
email that I receive it comes out as XYZ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It automatically appended the domain name to the end of it.
How can I avoid this?
Thanks.

Re: [PHP] PHP / SSL
This is what I got back so far from RC5 where there are crypto experts. And as the guy from GMDI? i forgot, something like that .nl, pointed out, it also matters whether it's SSL2 or SSL3 40bit encryption if I'm not mistaken. Hope you can do something with this info. Appearantly, like stated below, it is less work to crack RC5 40 bits (which SSL probably uses) than it is to crack DES. Since DES can be cracked within 22 hours on distributed.net and that power can be compared with like $ 100.000 I ESTIMATE somebody with like 40.000 bucks can crack it in reasonable time. I guess the big question is this, if it gets cracked, who are they gonna hold responcible. If they are gonna hold you responcible I'd certainly think twice about this :-) Kind regards happy holidays -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: Re: [RC5] Re: [PHP] PHP / SSL | for distributed.net OffTopic!!!

The reason I'm asking is since DES has been cracked under 22 hours 40bit SSL looks really insecure to me. Thanks in advance, sorry for the OT /for the distributed.net people First, you have to realise that SSL is not a crypto algorithm, it is a transport layer, so when you are talking about 40bit SSL you are most likely talking about 40bit RC5 encryption which is used in SSL. You can also have 56bit DES encryption in SSL, or a number of other algorithms if your SSL client/server supports it. Either way, using a 40bit key is MUCH less secure than using a 56bit key. Every time you increase the key length by a bit, it doubles the amount of possible keys to search through to crack it by brute force. A 56bit key has 65536 times more possible keys than a 40bit key. A 128bit key has 309485009821345068724781056 times more possible keys than a 40bit key. Remember with a brute-force attack you have to check all the keys to see if it is the correct one so the more possible keys there are, the longer it will take and the more work is involved. You should not use either 40bit or 56bit SSL since both are not considered secure. You should use 128bit SSL instead. There is no reason to use 40 or 56bit SSL any more since web servers and web browsers that support 128bit SSL are easily found. Modules like mod_ssl for Apache support 128bit encryption algorithms using the openssl library. If you only have the choice between 40bit SSL or 56bit SSL, then go for the 56bit version. Your traffic will not be securely protected but it is much more work to break DES than it is 40bit RC5 in SSL.

Kind regards, Ferry van Steen PS I'm also on distributed.net's mailing list.

I've been implementing a financial reporting system, in PHP, which will be running on the internet. Obviously, therefore, security is an issue. The system itself implements a username/password login system, but I want to be able to run it using SSL for obvious reasons. My problem is this: The server we have (Red Hat 7.0, Apache 1.3.14-3, open-ssl 0.9.5a-14, mod_ssl 2.7.1-3) came with ssl preconfigured and ready to use. It runs at 128 bit encryption which is fine as far as I'm concerned. The people who will be using the system, however, have a company standard browser which is IE 4 and only supports 40 bit encryption. And for various political reasons they don't want to upgrade all the browsers. So what I want to know is how easy it is to turn down the encryption level, and how to go about it.

[PHP] addslash/stripslashes
Hey there,
I was once told I need to use addslashes and stripslashes on data I get from
the web and insert into the database. I'd like to know why?!?! See I know
that with other languages you could use special chars to hack/crack the
database, but even without add/strip slashes I can't seem to manage I
have a text field I inserted into the database and I entered stuff like this:
~!@#$%^*()_+~!@#$%^*()_+|\\||\[]{};:'.,/?
since quotes n stuff aren't nicely closed now I'd expect an error if this was
crack/hackable however it just inserts fine without any problems whatsoever.
I'm using PHP 4.0.6 and MySQL 4.23.43 (I think haven't checked...) Also when
I go to the page where the data is retrieved from the database and put in
HTML I see EXACTLY what I entered. So it doesn't appear to me I'd need these
add/strip slashes functions. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Also I'm looking for a small feature of HTML. I know this isn't the right
list so if you guys don't reply no hard feelings. At this moment I use meta
to refresh (go back to the form) after entering the data, you'll see a page
that it's succeeded (or failed for that matter) and than after 3 secs you'll
go back to the main empty form. However, I'd like to know a way other than
meta, since when an error occurs it can happen the HTML header is already
printed out and thus I can't use the meta tag anymore. I was thinking about
javascript or something but other ways are welcome since javascript can be
disabled in the browser.
Please bear with me, this is the first thing I actually write. I only wrote
some small things for playing a little, nothing serious and this script will
be in a commercial environment with database access n stuff. Pretty kewl but
it has to be as secure and smooth as I can get it :-)
Kind regards,
Ferry van Steen

[PHP] is_int with HTML FORM
Hey there, First of all please CC me as I'm no longer a member on this list. Sorry about that but I receive too much :-(. Please bear with me as I'm a new PHP scripter on the block Ok for the question. I was under the impression that PHP would automatically select the type for the vars to use. However if I have a field in my form where I insert only a 4 in I'd expect the var to be an integer (or atleast some other whole number type of var). However is_int fails on the 4 and sees it as a string. So how am I going to check whether it's nothing but digits [0-9]. The field can hold 4 characters but they don't neccesarily need to be filled. So the input could be 1 through . Now I could check with or but that won't work since they would still eval true if they'd enter 3a. Ok it would fail if they'd enter a3 but that still leaves a possibility to crash my script with 3a. Perhaps somebody could hand me a nice regexp or something... I'm not yet familiar with those.

[PHP] Uncertainties about MySQL commands
Hey list, i'm new to php so bare with me... got some questions on mysql commands. I'd like to know how the mysql_insert_id() function works exactly. First of all how reliable is it? What happens this happens: Table: (ID int unsigned primary key auto_increment, Stuff text, MoreStuff text) (my script) insert into table values(NULL, bla, bla) (some other application) insert into table values(NULL, bleh, bleh) (my script) $id = mysql_insert_id it's not likely that this will happen, but if the site is very/extremely crowded it could be that there's an insert right after mine but before me callind mysql_insert_id. As you might guess I'd like to know which ID will be returned, the one my script created or the one from the other application? Also what happens if my table is like this: Table: (Stuff text, ID int unsigned primary key auto_increment, OtherStuff text) Thus having the ID on column 2 instead of 1 or like this Table: (Bla int unsigned primary key auto_increment, Stuff text, Otherstuff text) Thus the ID not having the name ID Or like this Table: (bla int unsigned primary key auto_increment, id int unsigned primary key auto_increment, stuff text, otherstuff text) Thus having 2 auto_increment columns where the 2nd one is called ID (lower case). I'm really uncertain about that and couldn't find it back in the manual does it only read the first column? does this column have to be named ID, what if ID is another column? what if there is more than 1 auto_increment column in the table? what happens if some(one)/(thing) else inserts before calling mysql_insert_id. One more question (pure curiosity this one) the return value from mysql_query... is that ever gonna be higher than 1? I assume it can be if the insert affects more than 1 line right? Also my book says that the return value is TRUE or FALSE for every command except for an INSERT in which case it would be 0 on failure and higher on succes. I think that's crap? I'm guessing it will also return a number for UPDATE's and REPLACE's is that correct? Are there others? OK just one more thing, this is for the people from troutworks if they're monitoring this list. I think the translation of the PHP Bible is crap! Please complain about it at the translator. The guy/girl managed to translate (quotes) to (comma's) , and there are a lot of other wrongly translated things in there, luckily the examples in there got me on the right path again over and over showing that the translation was incorrect but it's just confusing like hell.
