Re: [PHP] Passing variables between servers
I have read this arcticle too, and yes it will work for PHP to ASP but I have never came across a ASP version like this function to send the information from ASP to PHP. _ Mark McCulligh, Application Developer / Analyst Sykes Canada Corporation www.SykesCanada.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Jay Blanchard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Mark McCulligh'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'Adam Williams'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 1:40 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Passing variables between servers > [snip] > I thought about encrypting the whole querystring then decrypting it on the > other server, but I wanted to keep the address bar clean.

Re: [PHP] Passing variables between servers
MD5 is a one-way hash. There is no way to get information back out of it. If he keeps a copy of the hash locally to comare instead of the original password, this is still as vulnerable as using the original password in this case. The only thing it would protect from is making available the original password (which may be used by the user for other sites, applications, etc). --- Seairth Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Adam Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Just suggestion but why not use md5($password) and then send the result of > that in your GET? > > Adam > > On Wed, 21 Aug 2002, Mark McCulligh wrote: > > > I have two server.

RE: [PHP] Passing variables between servers
[snip] I thought about encrypting the whole querystring then decrypting it on the other server, but I wanted to keep the address bar clean. I wanted the user not to know they just got passed. If all a sudden there was a lot of data in the address bar they will wonder what it is for. [/snip] How about POSTING the whole querystring... http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/12039/fid/51 posting without using a form, can probably be re-engineered to for ASP to send information back HTH!

RE: [PHP] Passing variables between servers
Hi !! I know you said you cont want to use cookies ... I suggest that place encrypted data in a cookie and in the win2000 machine place a php script that read the data in the cookie, uncryptit and some how set the info for the asp script, a plain text file or something ... I hope this is useful. -Mensaje original- De: Mark McCulligh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Enviado el: miércoles, 21 de agosto de 2002 12:23 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: [PHP] Passing variables between servers I have two server. One running PHP/Linux the other running ASP/2000. The user logins into the PHP server and session variables are made to hold their username, password, department, etc.. The site from time to time redirect the user to the ASP server. I want to pass the session variable across to the other server. I can't use the GET method. (www.domain.com/form.asp?username=Mark.) because putting the password on the address bar is not an option. The ASP server will redirect them back when they are done on it. It will pass back the variables just in case the session on the PHP server has expired for the PHP server can create a new session if needed. I don't want to use a cookie. I was thinking of using cURL but I can't fine any information about using it in ASP. I know how to use cURL in PHP to redirect the user to the ASP server and pass the variables in the POST method, but not the other way. Any ideas would be a GREAT help.

I thought about encrypting the whole querystring then decrypting it on the other server, but I wanted to keep the address bar clean. I wanted the user not to know they just got passed. If all a sudden there was a lot of data in the address bar they will wonder what it is for.

Just suggestion but why not use md5($password) and then send the result of that in your GET? Adam On Wed, 21 Aug 2002, Mark McCulligh wrote: > I have two server.
