 Is the persistent connection pool is re-used between apache child processes ? 

No, connections are not shared between PHP processes. Nothing is shared between

Re: [PHP] I am puzzled. Error on one site, no error on the other

2013-10-26 Thread Aziz Saleh
On Fri, Oct 25, 2013 at 8:27 PM, Stephen stephe...@rogers.com wrote:

 Problem Situation

 I have two web sites on the same shared host. They share code for the
 control panel. When executed for one site I get a warning (reproducible
 always), but on the other there is no warning.

 One my home server, set up in the same way, I do not get a warning for
 either site.

 The warning is from this code:

 if ( in_array( $keys, $photo_ids ) )

 *Warning*: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in
 */home/rois3324/include/**cpprocessforms.php* on line *203*

 Steps

 1) Photos are transferred to incoming directory using ftp.
 2) Photo data is imported into database and files moved to web site's file
 system
 3) Photos are linked to a category by
 i) Specifying photos to consider by entering filespec using wildcards
 ii) User presented with photos
 iii) User selects photos to be added to category and clicks process
 button
 iv) Form returns array of photo_ids (key in database table)
 v) Form processor creates entry in link table that links category_id
 to photo_id
 vi) A check is made to detect and reject when the link already exists

 This is where the error occurs

 I have looked at the code, but I am at a total loss to figure out why I
 have trouble on one site and not the other, even though they are using the
 code. And my home development system has no problems.

 I can't play trial and error on the development system.

 Anyone have any ideas?

 This is the code where the warning is triggered:

 function linkphotos( $dbh, $x ) {

   global $thumbsdirectory;

   $ret_str = ;
   $cat_id = $x['category'];
   $photos = $x['list'];
   $sql0 = SELECT photo_filename FROM photographs WHERE photo_id = :id;
   $sql1 = SELECT photo_id FROM gallery_photos WHERE photo_category = :id;
   $sql2= INSERT INTO gallery_photos VALUES ( :id, :photo_id, :order );

   $stmt = $dbh-prepare($sql0);
   try {
   foreach( $photos as $keys= $on) {
   $stmt-bindValue(':id', $keys);
   $stmt-execute();
   $row = $stmt-fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)**;
   $filenames[$keys] = $thumbsdirectory . / . $row['photo_filename'];

 Yes, it was an excellent article.

 One of the things I liked about the article was the concept of
 Incremental Development, which is something I have practiced since the
 Old Apple ][ days (Incidentally, he states he learned of this in 1958 -- is
 that a typo?).

 In 1977, I started many of my programs with (pardon my failing memory of
 AppleSoft syntax):

 Gosub GatherData()
 Gosub ProcessData()
 Gosub PresentDate()
 END

 It ran, but didn't do anything. Incidentally, that resembles a one-pass
 MVC design, does it not?

 In any event, I would flesh out the code until I got what I wanted.

 Maybe that's one of the reasons why Android or iOS Development starts with
 a Default Hello World App that does very little than run.

 Start simple, develop complex.


Is there any other way to do it? I've been programming since 1975 and
that's what I was taught and that's how always do it.

Was it Brian Kernighan who said the 3 rules of programming are:

1. Keep it simple.
2. Build it in stages.
3. Let someone else do the hard part.

Yes, I was going to ask, why are you storing your dates as strings?
MySQL has a perfectly good DATE type. It's also generally faster
comparing dates within a MySQL query than PHP code.

Hi,
Indeed making and maintaining the graph looks like the best approach here
to tackle this problem , but what does not seem clear to me is this --
 Suppose a family can host 5 children , then you need to find the set of 5
such nodes out of the total no. of nodes(assume 10) such that the total
weight of all edges connecting the 5*4 nodes is minimum  ,
how do you go about finding this set once you have constructed and
maintained this graph and what will be the complexity??

You don't need to maintain the history of which kids stay where unless you
want to for other reasons. You just need to find the children that have
staid the least amount of time together, which this approach would do for
you.

So, when 4 children stay together you say
1 together with 2
1 together with 3
1 together with 4
2 together with 3
2 together with 4
3 together with 4

and that's it. And then you can find the ones that staid together the least
amount of time.

  Suppose a family can host 5 children , then you need to find the set of
 5 such nodes out of the total no. of nodes(assume 10) such that the total

 how do you go about finding this set once you have constructed and

re: changing ini settings.

If my running script modifies an ini setting I currently believe that 
that changed setting will apply to that specific process and any others 
that run after that from that same folder (since i have an ini file in 
each folder currently).  Correct?


And if I do make a setting change as above, it only affects the ini file 
and processes in that folder, thus leaving the setting unchanged in any 
and all other folders above that one.  Correct?


And from the article pointed out to me, I get the impression that the 
search for ini files bubbles up from the executing folder.  If that is 
so, then am I correct in assuming that settings in the lowest ini file 
take precedence over any found in 'bubbled-up' ini files?

  Hi, Jim


Never mind my last paragraph ... I was thinking the wrong way of what you
wrote earlier.

I haven't tested it properly in every detail, but from the perspective of
what I know it's like you wrote.

The file that's mentioned as php.ini is the main configuration file of
your php-installation. It may be, that the user-ini file was renamed to
php.ini as well, but if you read about php.ini, they always mean the
configuration-file that you see listed in the output of phpinfo() as
Configuration File (php.ini) Path.

* You can rename the user-ini file by changing the user_ini.filename
setting in the php.ini file (as written on the page I linked you to)

* The php-settings are restored after/before each script-execution

* The manual doesn't catch if a user-ini file was found ... just that it
bubbles up to the document_root. Maybe the configuration found in user-ini
files is merged, or just the first file is taken.

* I don't know what happens to configuration you apply f.e. in nginx ... I
know neither when settings in php-fpm are applied ... that's something
left
for testing, or until somebody finds the documentation explaining it (I
know there is one ...), but I guess they're applied after the php.ini and
before the user-ini files.
Examples are listed here:
http://php.net/manual/en/**install.fpm.configuration.php#**example-60http://php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php#example-60

* What you set using set_ini() is just applied for the rest of the
currently running script.

Bye
Simon

  I understand most of what you wrote and agree all except for one thing.

  You keep using the name user.ini and I asked for clarification on this
earlier.  Do I have to create files named EXACTLY that way, or are
php.ini files correctly named?


--
PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/)
To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php



Hi, Jim

You can define the name for this file your configuration (php basic
configuration file or in the webserver, calling the cgi/fcgi script).

The configuration is called user_ini.filename, and it's default value is
set to .user.ini. Of course, your provider (or you, if you're the
administrator of the php-instance) may changed this setting to something
like php.ini. Then the php-process will search for a php.ini file in
the directories a user-ini file is searched in.
When talking about configuration files, this may be misleading, as the
basic configuration file is refered as php.ini over all in the
documentation.

I don't believe, that the PHP process would search for a file called
php.ini, if the value is set to something like .user.ini - if that's
what you mean.

It may be, that you can change the setting later on, but it will have no
effect (f.e. if you change it using set_ini() ... if it doesn't trigger a
E_WARNING or something the like).

Hope this answers the remaining question. If not, I kindly ask you to write
some examples.

Bye,
Simon

Ok - here is what I see happening now.  PHPINFO shows a setting named 
'user_ini.filename' set to '.user.ini'  At the same time the setting 
loaded configuration file shows that a php.ini file was loaded from 
the current sub folder that this call to phpinfo was running in (as I 
expect!).  So apparently my host has set php to look for user.ini 
files, but php.ini files are still accepted and loaded.


I'm guessing that despite the user_ini filename setting, a PHP.ini file 
will still be read, which suits me just fine.


Thanks for all the help Simon!

 BUT time_left is 07:43:04 when it should be only 00:43:04.
 
 So - where is the hour value of '07' coming from?? And how do I get this 
 right?

Thanks for the quick response, but why do I want to show the time in 
GMT?  However, I did try it, changing the 'time_left' calc to use 
gmdate.  Now instead of a 7 for hours I have a 12.


exp 07:34:52
curr 06:40:14
diff 3158
left is 12:52:38

The 52:38 is the correct value, but not the 12.

Re: [PHP] date time problem

Jim,

The date method takes in a timestamp (not seconds away).

You have the seconds, you will need to manually convert those seconds to
what you desire (minutes = seconds / 60), (hours = minutes / 60), etc..

The resulting subtraction is not a valid timestamp, but rather the
difference between the two timestamps in seconds . The resulting diff can
be 1 if the timestamps are 1 seconds apart. The

Aziz, please try not to top post :)

It's true that the date() function takes in a timestamp as its argument,
but a timestamp is a number representing the number of seconds since
00:00:00 1st January 1970, so passing in a very small number of seconds
is perfectly valid.

The only thing that would account for the 7 hours difference is the time
zone, which would also be part of the timestamp.

Jim,

The date method takes in a timestamp (not seconds away).

You have the seconds, you will need to manually convert those seconds to
what you desire (minutes = seconds / 60), (hours = minutes / 60), etc..

Currently the results are:

Good Point!  I never looked at it that way.  I guess the Date function 
can't be relied on in that case.  So now I'll have to calculate my time 
in a mathematical way instead of letting Date translate it for me.

Aziz, please try not to top post :)

It's true that the date() function takes in a timestamp as its argument,
but a timestamp is a number representing the number of seconds since
00:00:00 1st January 1970, so passing in a very small number of seconds
is perfectly valid.

The only thing that would account for the 7 hours difference is the time
zone, which would also be part of the timestamp.

While definitely a tempting coding exercise, I just want to say that if this is 
urgent in any way, shuffling cards with the kids' names on them by hand might 
just be faster and less frustrating :)

OTOH, if this is something you're going to have to figure out week after week, 
then a software solution might be handy.

This is also not an *easy* problem to solve; there isn't a simple approach to 
optimizing this sort of thing because you're building a net between all the 
various kids based on past stays, in addition to the constraints of host family 
 capacity. Thus your previous code attempts might in fact be the end result.

Obviously, structuring the data is the key here.

I'm thinking of 3 primary models: Kids, Hosts, and Stays.

Kids and Hosts seem pretty obvious. Stays is the interesing model, and needs to 
have joining tables with Kids and Hosts.

A Stay will have one Host, and have many Kids and a date.

The algorithm then needs to make the graph where it can pull out the number of 
times any particular kid has stayed with another, looking something like this:

Amy:
   Ben: 10
   Jill: 3
   Carlos: 7
   Chen: 2
Ben:
   Amy: 10
   Jill: 5
   Carlos: 8
   Chen: 3
Jill:
   … and so on

Then you be able to pull through that graph and find the smallest number of 
stays for each kid.

Not simple, but I hope this helps.

 No Problem, the issue is that you referring to the invalid post element
 $bucket_name as opposed to the correct on bucket_name.

 *$bucket_name = $_POST['$bucket_name'];*

 Should be

 *$bucket_name = $_POST['bucket_name'];*

 Hey guys,

  Sorry about that i should have posted the full code to give you some
 idea of context. Anyway, here it is:

 ?php
   require_once 'sdk.class.php';
 if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

 *  $bucket_name = $_POST['$bucket_name'];*
  // Create the S3 Object from the SDK
   *$s3 = new AmazonS3();*

  // The response comes back as a Simple XML Object

 So, as you can see I am taking the 'bucket_value' from $_POST and
 passing it into the call to S3.

 When the form comes up on the web I give it the name of one of my S3
 buckets. The result is the following error:

Re: [PHP] Algorithm Help

2013-10-01 Thread Serge Fonville
Assuming you don't have to be exact, somthing similar to this might work.

Assign each kid to a host family randomly
for each kid, check how frequently it has been combined with the kids in
its assigned family.
if it is too close, swap with a different family
when all kids in that family are processed, move on to the next family and
repeat, excluding the first family for swapping. do the same for all
families excluding the previous families. when you have completed all
families, do another iteration or two of the whole process.

Your code is failing because $bucket_name, I suspect, is null. Where do
you define this variable before you use it in this bit of code:

$result = $s3-deleteObject(array(

Hello,

I suggest you put default in that switch statement and var_dump the

Hi Tim,

Is the call working? Does it actually get deleted?

This could just be an issue (which I see alot) where developers do not
check for variables or preset them before usage, causing those notices to
come up (pretty harmless most of the times).

Hey guys,

 Sorry about that i should have posted the full code to give you some idea
of context. Anyway, here it is:

?php
  require_once 'sdk.class.php';
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

*  $bucket_name = $_POST['$bucket_name'];*
 // Create the S3 Object from the SDK
  *$s3 = new AmazonS3();*

*  $result = $s3-deleteObject(array(*
*'Bucket' = $bucket_name ));*


 // The response comes back as a Simple XML Object
// In this case we just want to know if everything was okay.
// If not, report the message from the XML response.
 if ((int) $response-isOK()) {
echo 'centerDeleted Bucket';
echo 'br /br /';
echo 'a href=listbuckets.phpList Buckets/a/center';

So, as you can see I am taking the 'bucket_value' from $_POST and passing
it into the call to S3.

When the form comes up on the web I give it the name of one of my S3

No Problem, the issue is that you referring to the invalid post element
$bucket_name as opposed to the correct on bucket_name.

*$bucket_name = $_POST['$bucket_name'];*

Should be

*$bucket_name = $_POST['bucket_name'];*

 I'm sure I'm going to annoy people with this, but I would advise to
 never use PEAR. It's the biggest load of extremely badly coded PHP
 you'll ever find. Creating an SMTP client (with the purpose of just
 sending mail) is very easy to do yourself (and also a good challenge
 if you're not yet very skilled with PHP). Alternatively, you can
 indeed use a package such as PHPMailer; it's not perfect, and quite
 bloated for what you want probably, but it works rather well.
 

I have to agree on the code bloat. Unless your requirements are
extraordinary (which the OP's are), the native PHP mail() function is
generally quite adequate.

Never thought about creating a PHP email client. Interesting idea...

Hi Aziz,

 Thank you for getting back to me!

 I appreciate you spotting that error.

So I corrected that

 // Create the S3 Object from the SDK
  $s3 = new AmazonS3();

 // The response comes back as a Simple XML Object

 if ((int) $response-isOK()) {
echo 'centerDeleted Bucket';
echo 'br /br /';
echo 'a href=listbuckets.phpList Buckets/a/center';
  } else {

 Hi all php experts,
 
 I would like to ask you all a question, I hope this is the right place
 to ask it.
 
 I'm writing a PHP extension now in c/c++. User uploads a file (could be POST
 or PUT method, but I can limit it to POST only). I need to capture the
 file data while being
 uploaded, without writing it to disk on the server. I need to process
 the data and (maybe,
 depending on a situation) send it somewhere else or save it to disk.
 Of course I know, that I can process the file
 after it has been uploaded (saved on disk on the server), but I would
 like to avoid it.
 I also need to do something opposite: I need to generate a file on the
 fly and send it
 to the user. All metadata of the generated file is known beforehand
 (e.g. size, name).
 
 I've been searching around for some time now and I could not find
 anything even close to the solution.
 Is there any example(s) or existing PHP extension that do(es) something
 like this (at least something simmilar) ?
 If you could give me any pointers that would be awesome.
 
 Thanks for your help 

The question I have is why? Should your upload fail for any reason you've got a 
half processed file that is non-recoverable.  No do-overs. If you stick to the 
standard processes with out the extension,

Upload
Save somewhere (or leave in temp upload folder)
Process
Send result back to user 
Unlink file

Generating the file and sending it to the user is also pretty standard

Create your dataset
Send appropriate headers
Send data
Close connection

For this, there usually isn't a need to save the file. You may run into issues 
streaming the data to certain browsers. 

Also one of the main downsides to your upload is high load situations or large 
file situations (where file size exceeds php's upload limit). 

My personal preference is to save that file to disk so that if needed I can 
work with it later ( if say the server load is high) and email the results to 
the user.

If you're looking to create a SQl table then most but not all browsers can use 
SQLite locally for data storage ( it does require newer browsers). 

You haven't stated the goal for this so other options could include sending csv

I had exactly this situation, large list with the autocomplete. I cached the 
list to a JS file and ran the autocomplete from that. It works well if the list 
is relatively static which mine was. It will be tougher if the list is dynamic, 
but you could send the data down after the initial page load.

Ethan,Ethan,Ethan - what is all this stuff you have at the top???  Do

with the predefined values you (and the functions) are expecting.  For
example, 'on' is NOT the same as the use of the word :  on.  And your
error_reporting setting (which you are attempting to do TWICE) is
actually causing your script to NOT show any errors, which is preventing
you from seeing that your script dies at the misspelled print statement
and never gets to the pair of if statements that should call your good
and bad functions.

Hate to do this to you, but you've been attempting to pick up PHP for
two years now almost and from this latest post you appear to not have
learned anything.

And WHY would you EVER want to have a time limit of 2400 seconds???

And stop burying functions in the middle of your straight line code.
It's ridiculous and makes reading your scripts a royal PIA.

I thought I covered that.  The bug was fixed 7 years ago.  Upgrade PHP, I
doubt there is a patch.  I understand that not all coders or distributions
will have the latest version of PHP, but come on, how many thousands of
bugs have been fixed in 7 years?  You're going to run into more.
 Alternatively you could try and suppress it.  From the bug it sounded like
it was only the warning that was the bug, so the code should work.  I can't
test because my PHP on CentOS is only 3 years old (5.3.3).

I'm saying the site should be served entirely under HTTPS. There shouldn't be 
separate https/http directories. Apache (or whatever your web server is) has a 
certificate installed on it and that vhost is configured to only respond to 
https requests. Typically this also means running a separate vhost on http that 
redirects to the https variant.

Where is this new host? It should be a dedicated box (vps or other) due to how 
the certificates need to be issued (dedicated ip address).

Best,

Sounds like it may have been moved from a Plesk server to a
non-Plesk server (or something using a similar path setup).  If it's
still Apache-based, yes, an .htaccess mod_rewrite directive should
suffice.  And, while it's out-of-scope for this list, an example, for
posterity:

# .htaccess - placed in the web root
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [QSA,R,L]

Re: [PHP] PHPDoc way to describe the magic getter/setters [SOLVED]

Yes, @method and @property are very handy. Out of curiosity, since you're
providing magic getters and setters, why not use __get and __set instead of
__call with matching on get_xxx and set_xxx? This would allow using the
simpler (and IMHO much more expressive and PHP-ish) forms

$obj-foo = $obj-bar + 5;

Dear Ashley, nice, but useless for this problem!


The problem was to do with an image upload, so no, not useless. 

First, because users may upload other things than images! PDF's, audio
files, videos etc!

In an earlier email I detailed some methods for validating other types, such as 
DomDocument for HTML, XML, svg, etc, or fpdf for PDF. 

And on behalf images: GD you are using handles only
jpeg, gif and png. There are about hunderd other image types on the
way,

At the moment those are the 3 raster formats you can use on the web, so those 
are the ones that pose an issue. If you're using anything else, it's not for 
web and doesn't need to be in a publicly accessible location. 

users can upload! How to detect them, if the extension is missleading?

The extension comes from the user. Never trust the user, ever.


And even if we succeed: As your script demonstrates very well,
malicious
code does not affect the rendering of the image. 

My script does effectively strip out malicious code though, even if it can't 
easily be seen.

The hacker says: Hi,
this is a nice picture, play it, and then, please do this--follows his
code, that can be a desaster for the whole system.

Social engineering is a whole different issue.


Yes, your script seems to purge the image file, simply because GD does
not copy the malware code. But why are you sure about that? You cannot
see that code, OK, but may be it was executed in the plain GD
environement? 

GD isn't a PHP parser, and PHP doesn't execute the image before GD touches it. 
Infact, Apache isn't even involved between GD and the image at that point, so 
it won't suffer from this bad config.

What you are doing is dangerous, because you force the
execution of things that should be never executed!

Erm, no, the image isn't being executed.


no no no forget it. After all we cannot exclude that users come in
with malware. 

If you think it's fine that a user be able to upload malware, then you're going 
to have a very bad time.

But we MUST exclude, it is executed on the web server.

This is important too, but in this profession belt and braces is best I 
believe. 

That is the Apache chainsaw massacre as Steward whould say. And
probably
it can be avoided by purging the filenames (not the files!). 

Nevertheless, the standard configuration of the Apache servers is
basically unacceptable. It must execute user requests and never ever
user files! Period.

Sorry for this late post but I'm amazed nobody consulted the doco.

The php.net site has a whole section titled Handling File Uploads.
Also check out finfo_open and finfo_file.
If your are a windoze user you need a dll.
If you want Apache to handle PUT requests you MUST tell it to run a script as 
it cannot write to web root.

 GoDaddy's default plesk-generated configuration for FastCGI-served 
 PHP
 files only looked to see if the file contained .php somewhere on 
 it's path - i.e. it would happily execute 'malicilous.php.txt' as php 
 code, even something ridiculous like 'malware.phpnoreallyiwantthistorun'.
 
 
 Yes, looks stupid.  
 But my service prodider wrote me this, I quote:
 ---QUOTE---
 This is because Apache offers features like language negotiation based 
 on extensions, too -- the final extension doesn't always just specify 
 the handler; it can specify other things. Apache can automatically 
 pick a German-language script from these, for example:
 
 file.php.de
 file.php.en
 
 Whether this is a good idea or not is debatable. It's possible to set 
 things up in a different way (using FilesMatch instead of AddHandler) 
 to avoid this particular problem, but that breaks other things, so 
 there's no perfect solution.
 
 More generally, the real problem is that scripts are looking at the 
 final extension of uploaded files to decide whether they're safe or 
 not, which is dangerous. They're simply assuming that a .gif file 
 can't run a PHP interpreter, for example... which is usually true, but 
 certainly not always: some people run all their files through PHP.
 ---END QUOTE---

This is somewhat daft. Yes, Apache offers this feature, but you don't need
to configure it to work will all extensions. I'd be curious to know what
their issue is with using FilesMatch, since that provides a way to disable
this behaviour. And, honestly, who would have a PHP file per language? I
think it's perfectly reasonable to not allow that, because duplicating PHP
code across many files is an incredible stupid way to support multiple
languages.

Some people run all their files through PHP - true, but that doesn't mean
they should, or that you, as a responsible web host, should be endorsing it.

 The problem is the weak PHP upload mechanism! 
 As workaround my service provider tries to block suspicious filenames, 
 but the PHP developpers themself should work on this severe security 
 problem.

PHP developers should absolutely validate all content coming in from users
in every possible way, but I would be highly dubious about trusting a host
who gives the reason above for what I consider a lax and insecure Apache
configuration. It's like saying they sliced your arm off with their chainsaw
because it's made for cutting things, attempting to dodge all responsibility
for having swung it in your direction!

-Stuart

It seems this is the standard apache configuration, but that's no excuse. 
Googling returned many results where this was described as a major security
threat
e.g. Beware of the default Apache 2 config for PHP
http://ilia.ws/archives/226-Beware-of-the-default-Apache-2-config-for-PHP.ht
ml
On that site the solution was to change AddHandler to AddType. 
My service provider is going the FilesMatch route.

Re: [PHP] filesize() fails on file and works on it's copy (same permissions, same directory)

2013-09-23 Thread Carsten Jensen

if you have console access and the cli version of php works,
what does

echo filesize('/path/to/file');

tell (try running as root, then later as uid 51/webuser)
this will eliminate permission doubts

also you should use ?php as start tag instead of only ?

cheers
Carsten

regardless of you, saying they have same permissions I think they do not
have the same permission

try to use --reference for chmod to see if there is any differences

try to copy the file keeping the whole permissions from original using sudo
cp -rp and check.
if this copy has the warning then your problem is from the permissions.

I've got a file, which can't be checked with filesize(). I copy it (with

Re: [PHP] Apache

2013-09-23 Thread Domain nikha . org
Tamara Temple am Montag, 23. September 2013 - 06:49:
 
 GoDaddy's default plesk-generated configuration for FastCGI-served PHP
files only looked to see if the file contained .php somewhere on it's
path - i.e. it would happily execute 'malicilous.php.txt' as php code,
even something ridiculous like 'malware.phpnoreallyiwantthistorun'.
 

Yes, looks stupid.  
But my service prodider wrote me this, I quote:
---QUOTE---
This is because Apache offers features like language negotiation based
on extensions, too -- the final extension doesn't always just specify
the handler; it can specify other things. Apache can automatically pick
a German-language script from these, for example:

 file.php.de
 file.php.en

Whether this is a good idea or not is debatable. It's possible to set
things up in a different way (using FilesMatch instead of AddHandler)
to
avoid this particular problem, but that breaks other things, so there's
no perfect solution.

More generally, the real problem is that scripts are looking at the
final extension of uploaded files to decide whether they're safe or
not,
which is dangerous. They're simply assuming that a .gif file can't
run
a PHP interpreter, for example... which is usually true, but certainly
not always: some people run all their files through PHP.
---END QUOTE---

The problem is the weak PHP upload mechanism! 
As workaround my service provider tries to block suspicious filenames,
but the PHP developpers themself should work on this severe security
problem.
