I used to have a website bookmarked that helped me with HTML. Somehow I lost it. The only things I can remember about it are that it had an orange-ish background, and I believe the color of the print was blue. All of the different sections were in rectangular boxes on the top of the page.

If anyone nows the site I am thinking of, I would love you forever.

Thanks.

This forum post got me thinking more about security. (yes, that is me with a similar question there)

http://forum.hardened-php.net/viewtopic.php?id=20

After trying the methods in this blog post got me thinking and looking for an alternative.

http://blog.phpdoc.info/archives/13-XSS-Woes.html

So I started thinking of a safer way to accomplish the same thing. I was looking at the manual at http://php.net/ and came across $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] and did a little playing with it. I did a simple echo statement, and it returned the path for the script and nothing else, even using injection methods. Is this a good substitute for PHP_SELF? Anyone know any security issues with this superglobal? I have several scripts that use PHP_SELF, and would like a safe alternative.

*edit*
I just noticed I accidentally made this friends only post, so I removed that

I am learning classes (trying to anyway).

I have class called photo. It contains two functions:

create_folder()
sterilize_text()

In the create_folder function I want to clean user uploaded data before creating a folder based on that data. I have a few special rules so I wanted to put this in a seperate function instead of regexing all over my pages.

I read that using functions within functions in classes is easy, but I don't know how and the tutorial I'm using doesn't touch on using nested functions.

So what happens is when I invoke the class and use create_function(), php exits with this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: sterilize_text() in /var/www/html/includes/classes.php on line 34
Line 34 is : $brand = sterilize_text($myrow[brand]);

Is there a way to code this so I can use functions within functions, inside of my class? I've included the relevant scripts below.

Thank you.

class photo
{

	var	$model;

	// mk the folder for an uploaded image.
	function create_folder($model)
	{

		global $dbx, $dbxold;
		if (!isnum($model)||strlen($model)>5) {return(false);}
		
		$q = "SELECT brand FROM spec WHERE model='$model'";
		$result = mysql_query($q,$dbxold);
		$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);

		$brand = sterilize_text($myrow[brand]); 

		if ($brand=="") {return(false);}
		$webpath = "/images/dirtbikes/$brand";
		$uploaddir = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . $webpath;
		if (!file_exists($uploaddir)) {
			mkdir ($uploaddir, 0777);
			chmod($uploaddir,0777);
			if (!file_exists($uploaddir)) {
				echo "
unable to create directory. :(
";
				return(false);
			}
		}

		$dir_array[] = $webpath;
		$dir_array[] = $uploaddir;
		return $dir_array;

	}

	function sterilize_text($text)
	{
		$hyphen = 	"_";
		$dash = 	"-";
		$text = strtolower($text);
		$text = ereg_replace('[^a-zA-Z0-9_\\,]', '', $text);
		$text = ereg_replace('[\\]', $dash, $text);
		$text = ereg_replace('[,]', $hyphen, $text);
		return $text;
	}

}

create_folder($model); 

	echo "
";
	print_r($dir_array);
	echo "
";

?>

Greetings all, new reader on the community here.

I'm one of the co-administrators of a small private co-op site, and we recently had our webserver hacked. :( We're still trying to figure out why, but there is some suspicion that PHP vulnerabilities might have been the vector of attack. As a result I am planning to upgrade to the latest and greatest version of PHP, but before we go live again with that, I want to review the PHP that runs on a few sites we host and make sure that I've taken care of as many holes as reasonably possible.

We run Debian Linux, and I've just upgraded us to Apache 2.0 as well. (We plan to upgrade to 2.2 as soon as we have a Debian package for that.) And I plan to put PHP 5.0.5 up off of backports.org.

The questions I would like to pose to the community are:

1) Since PHP 5.1.1 is not available in package form yet, are there any known big problems with 5.0 that might make it necessary for me to build 5.1.1 by hand?

2) I've been reading up in the Security chapter of the docs on php.net, as well as the SecurePHP wiki, and have come up with a list of things I know I'd like to look at. Can anyone recommend things besides these items that I ought to look at?

- Use .htaccess to control who gets to look at source code
- Take sensitive data, e.g., passwords, out of public web space
- Verify that register_globals is OFF
- Validate all user data
- Initialize variables
- Turn off magic quotes
- Use addslashes and stripslashes as needed
- Set expose_php = off in php.ini
- Log errors out to files not in public space rather than displaying them on the page
- Use $_POST, $_GET, $_COOKIE, and $_SESSION for global variables
- Use htmlspecialchars() for hidden form values
- For URL stuff, use both htmlspecialchars() AND urlencode(); the latter should be for specific variables in the URL, and the former for the entire URL

Thank you very much in advance for any pointers!

Outlook automatically replies in text format if the original message is text which is fair enough. Is there anyway I can permanently forward in html even if the original message is in text? Is there a place in settings to override that function?

Ok, I'm being slowly driven nuts by this. There is a syntax error and whatever it is, my eyes are just sliding right past it each time. If anyone can spot it I will be eternally grateful. The error is "
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in /home/remove/public_html/test/root/admin_functions.php on line 35"

I have marked the line 35 in red.

If anyone can think of a better way of doing this (while your here) that would be great. It takes tags much like you would set for an LJ entry, splits them up and then checks the tags table for them, if they aren’t there it then adds them. Then for each tag, it sets up a map in the maptag table which links the page_id to the tag id (the tag id in the tags table is set in an auto_increment, so it have to run yet another query to find this out).

It doesn’t have to be too fast though, its only admin.

function update_tags($page_id, $tags_string)
{
$tag_array = explode(',', $tags_string, -1);
$count = count($tag_array);
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++)
{
$update_tags_query = "SELECT `id` FROM `tags` WHERE `name` = '" . $tag_array[$i] . "'";
$update_tags_result = mysql_query($update_tags_query) or die('update tags query failed: ' . mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($update_tags_result)==0)
{
//add entry to tags table
$tag_update_query = "INSERT INTO tags (name) VALUES ('" . $tag_array[$i] . "')";
mysql_query($tag_update_query) or die('tag update query failed: ' . mysql_error());

//then find out the new tags id
$tags_query = "SELECT `id` FROM `tags` WHERE `name` = '" . $tag_array[$i] . "'";
$tags_result = mysql_query($tags_query) or die('tags query failed: ' . mysql_error());
$tags_array = mysql_fetch_array($tags_result);

//then add to the maptag table
$maptag_update_query = "INSERT INTO maptag (contentid, tagid) VALUES (" . $page_id . ", " . $tags_array['id'] . ")";
mysql_query($maptag_update_query) or die ('maptag update query 1 failed: ' . mysql_error());
}else(
//add entries to the maptag table
$update_tags_array = mysql_fetch_array($update_tags_result);
$maptag_update_query = "INSERT INTO maptag (contentid, tagid) VALUES (" . $page_id . ", " . $update_tags_array['id'] . ")";
mysql_query($maptag_update_query) or die ('maptag update query 2 failed: ' . mysql_error());
}
}
}

Hi all, I'm a complete and total noob to PHP and MySQL. I'm working on putting up a site/cart for a friend.

http://www.allthingsally.com

I'm barely dipping my toes in, I know, I'm using a pre-made cart, that self-installs, has a web-based back-end built in, and should be easier than pie.

I've managed to get much of the changes made from the demo cart that I wanted to, and now I'm stuck. The pages are all basically built off of a single template, and it's an HTML template at that, so it should be more in my realm of expertise. Now as you can see on the page, there is a graphic/logo that should be displaying on the top, but for the life of me, I can't get it to work. I've stared at it and relinked for about 4 hours now, and I'm getting no-where. Any help/ideas would be swell.

If this is too vague, or doesn't make any sense, just let me know and I'll elaborate any way I can. I'm sorry if this is beyond stupid.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Guys,

I have a website i am working on

http://dev.jamesmandrews.com/

It's one html file. index.php (not really php just html in a php ext file)
http://dev.jamesmandrews.com/index.php

Then one javascript file
http://dev.jamesmandrews.com/includes/control.js

And an XML data file
http://dev.jamesmandrews.com/data/portfolio.xml

Basically when in Safari and Firefox it does what it's suppose to. When you click on portfolio it builds a grid of album categories, when you click on a category it builds a grid of albums for that category, when you click on the album it builds a grid of images in that album. when you click on the image, it displays the full image alone.

The problem in IE is that it doesn't listen to my divObj.style.cssFloat="left"; command and I don't understand why not. Looking for some insight.

Thanks,

Heya all, I'm working on a web-based application (using ASP.NET and C# on .NET 1.1.4322, supporting only IE6 for Windows) that allows for file uploads. It seems to be a universally agreed that the file upload control is as ugly as they come, so I want to set its style to "display: none;" and interact only with the standard file upload dialog (which can be summoned by firing the click() method of the control, which is exposed under IE6 but not recent versions of Mozilla).

Attempting programmatic access of a file upload control is generally playing with fire, and this time is apparently no exception. Once I call the click() method, it seems, the page is no longer able to post back. When I attempt to submit the form, the value of the file upload control is cleared and the page just sits there. However, if I make the file upload control visible and manually click its "Browse..." button, the page posts back correctly.

For those of you familiar with Gmail's attachment upload interface, this is very close to the effect I am trying to achieve, but something about ASP.NET is apparently interfering (perhaps for my own protection) with the process. Has anybody experienced similar behavior under the same platform, and if so, explain the behavior or point to a KB article or security documentation that might be enlightening ? Thanks greatly for your time. Toy code can be found after the cut.

I need some iis help here. (or meta refresh/redirect?)

I'm not a web guy by trade, but this thing falls on my lap anyway.

--
ok: I just did a domain transfer of mydomainB.com from some china registrar to godaddy.com

godaddy.com doesn't seem to have URL forwarding, only domain forwarding and A and Cnames, mx

(as opposed to the one i use for my own private domain www.domainbooking.com)

I just turned on domain forwarding to point to mydomainA.com/mywebsite but I'm not sure if it will corrupt the mx entries for mail. (which should point to mail.mydomainB.com , in turn A for mail.mydomainB.com = 12.34.56.78)

assuming it does and I reverse the domain forwarding.
then what I have is that my current A for www.mydomainA.com = 11.22.33.44
and my new A for www.mydomainB.com points to 11.22.33.44 as well

but they are supposed to be two distinct websites.

so I need to redirect by url? perhaps on my index.html. those that originate from www.mydomainA.com proceed to index1.html and those from www.mydomainB.com proceed to 11.22.33.44/mywebsite/index.html

I think this falls under the category of virtual hosting, i've been searching google for bit with not much luck.
I'm not sure host headers work for wan/internet domain names, and godaddy/A addressing doesn't quite allow you to specify port numbers either.

to add to the complication, the website is also hosting an exchange outloook mobile access site. so http://www.mydomainA.com/exchange should be accessible.

so how do I do this?

Hey all. I'm in the process of creating a client/project survey to give to clients. Right now I'm focusing on web and html/text email blasts. Does anyone have any good references to this stuff already. I had a few, but can't find them in my infinite number of bookmarks {that's next on the list}. If you can, please review the questions I wrote below and tell me what's crap and what's gold or if I missed anything. Also, do you think this is too long to give a client? I've seen them usually be 10 questions or so long. Please look at the sections as two different ones that I may or may not give to clients. Thanks so much.

WEB SITES

Figuring Out What You Need:

1. What is the Main Purpose or Goal of the site?

2. Is this a new web project/presence or a redesign?
a.) If it’s a redesign, what are the good and bad parts of your current site?
b.) Will the content be the same / How will it differ? Is it ready or does it need editing?

3. Who is your main audience and user base?

4. Do you want Flash for your site? If yes, please explain the desired implementation.

5. How many and what kind of pages does the site need? Please be as specific as possible.

6. Are there any special functions of the site? Ex: User info submission forms; e-commerce/take payments; etc.

7. Name some competitors’ sites or sites you like and why.

8. What are the short term and long term project timelines?


Management/Maintenance:

9. How often does the site need updating?

10. Who will be doing the updates? Will the person require training?

11. What existing technologies do you have to support the site? Ex: Is there already web hosting and domain name registration in place? Does the site have a database installed yet? Proper software & hardware for updating the site?

12. Will a Content Management System {CMS} benefit your organization?


The Big Picture:

13. What is a realistic length of time for your company to complete this project?

14. What is your company’s budget for this particular project?



HTML/TEXT EMAIL BLASTS


1. How many emails per month? How many email addresses in each blast?

2. Who is your user base? Will there be different newsletters for different audiences?

3. Who creates the content?

4. Is there already a system in place for this?

5. What is the budget and timeline for each email blast?

So what is the best way to serve documents (DOC PDF Images, other…) from a location outside of your public html directory?

I thought about using mysql and the LONGBLOB attribute.

But surely there must be a way to simply store the files and use php to retrieve them????
(I’ve done more web searching than I care to admit)

I run: windows 98 SE, IE 6.0

For some reason, just today, when I log into sites, I can't STAY logged in, and I get annoying security certifcate prompts everytime I go to ebay and gmail ..

I can't access the 'standard' view of gmail, and the 'html' version of gmail wont let me delete messages.

I looked in my internet options >> advanced tab, and 'warn about invalid site certifates' is UNCHECKED, (I never had it checked in the first place, nor did I change any security settings to make it this way, so I have no idea what is going on.)

I cleared ALL cookies, my cache, my temp internet files, ran hijackthis, and spybot, and nothing showed any problems or fixed anything.

wtf is going on?

thanks alot for your help.

"If you had a the money, and wanted someone to make you a webpage with five pages of content, minimal serverside stuff, and a bit of spiffy DHTML on the clientside, how much would you be willing to pay?"

I ask this, and will also give a bit of background on why. I'm starting up a part-time on the side webdesign studio with two other people. Between the three of us we have a lot of experience and each of us specializes in a different area; graphics, serverside code, and dynamic clientside code.

I'd like to know what any of you would be willing to pay as a lower-end figure (I do not however, plan to partake in 'bidding' wars to get a client) for a non-corporate page, and a corporate page.

Many thanks in advance!



***EDIT***
I should of mentioned, I have read the past articles about pricing by the hour, but I would like to have a nice figure for a base price for that kind of site. A friend of mine suggested something in the range of $300-$500, this including 2 months of 'customer support', basically helping the user to update their site/set them up with FTP, or fix minor bugs (read: limited warranty).

Hey all,

I know there's been a couple posts about this recently, so if I'm asking redundant questions, sorry.

A friend of mine has come up with a pretty novel idea for a MySpace-ish site, but for a specific niche market (kind of like those CatSpace and DogSpaces that exist) - users will have profiles, photos, a blog, message boards, send friend requests, yadda yadda yadda, you've seen it all before. I'm going to be developing the initial setup myself (since we have no money), and this is a somewhat long term project that I'll be picking at casually for a little while.

Right now I'm trying to figure out if I should give this a go coding from scratch, or use an existing CMS type solution (like Mambo, Joomla, Drupal, etc). I'd really like to code it myself, as I think it could be a fun project to work on. I'm a pretty solid PHP programmer, but as I have a feeling that this idea could jump in popularity pretty quick, I really want to make sure I keep this thing as efficient as possible for a large user base. For instance, I don't want to go making another MySpace which I think runs horribly as a web app compared to even LiveJournal.

Currently I use PEAR's DB_DataObject or my database interactions and I've just gotten into Smarty for templating, though I'm sure I'm not using either to their fullest potential. I saw mention of a couple of development environments and frameworks in someone's recent post looking for a visual studio-esque PHP environment - http://www.livejournal.com/community/php/388602.html but I've never used any of these.

I'm not really concerned here with using a "rapid development" framework - I don't mind coding, I like it - but what I'm really concerned with is stability, efficiency and security - I know of course that these also rely heavily on how well I code, and using a good coding environment or framework won't do the coding for me, but there have to be some tools/frameworks/etc out there that pros are using that I just haven't moved onto yet, and I wanted to see what you guys (and gals) are using on some of your bigger projects.


- I know this comes up a bunch, but does anyone else think would it be handy at all for us as a community to maybe organize some of the more useful threads and frequently asked (and answered) questions in the php community at a separate location? Doing just a search on the community doesn't necessarily give you anything about the quality of the responses, and it may even be nice to be able to 'browse' solutions/posts by categories or something; maybe we could have some sort of quality ranking on posts, or some way to identify posts that contain questions that get asked all the time. I don't think this would be too tricky to put together, and I'd be willing to work on it, but I don't know if anyone would even use it?

I've been hunting all around for a decent photo gallery. There seem to be quite a few different projects, some of which are still active, available. None of them seem to accomplish what I'm looking for, though. I have tested quite a few, but all are lacking. To this end, I thought I'd ask here if anyone has anything similar to what I've been looking for.

Major Features:
Abstracts image URLs - hides the path and filename to prevent direct access
Public/private flags - allows some images to stay hidden
Tags - I'd like to be able to tag the images ala del.icio.us, LJ, Flickr
Does not require gd - auto-thumbnails and watermarks can be disabled
Traverses directories - new images can be dropped in a subfolder or the root image folder and will be picked up automatically
Comments - allows for public (configurable) or private comments, either ties into phpbb or uses some sort of email validation/captcha scheme to reduce spam
EXIF - extracts all image data form the photographs and can display it
Uses simple cacheable CSS/XHTML templates
Does not store images in DB
Uses MySQL or abstraction layer that allows MySQL for comments, tags, etc
Takes reasonable measures to be secure and speedy

Minor Features:
Users can upload images
Temporary/expiring image URLs for sharing
Hotlinking configuration - allow all, deny all, allow specific sites
User-switchable templates
Javascript navigation and image pop-ups optional
Keeps stats on a pre image basis - top keywords, views, etc
All images can be watermarked automatically
Thumbnails may be re-generated automatically
Can assign/rename/describe multiple photos at once

I'm sure there are more details, but that should give a start. The scripts I've found so far are either too simple and don't have many features or too complex and require components and methods of use that I won't be using. There are a few others that store the images in the DB, which is something I'm definately against. I want to be able to FTP a directory of images and know that it will be online and ready to go as soon as the transfer is complete, or that it takes a simple click to do a rescan so they are available.

If I have to, I'll start from scratch... I was just hoping that there would be something available that I have not yet found that could serve as a foundation to build from.

Thanks
