Disable Coding In Textboxes/Textfields
Is there a way to disable PHP, HTML, and the sort in textboxes and input fields? There are things called SQL Injections which are usually used in an url or input field to steal data from the database.

Populating Dynamically Generated TextFields
If one assigns something to the value iattribute off an input /text field, that value will be displayed when the form is loaded. My problem is, when building a form dynamically, the only way I can get the text to show is by doing the above, however, as this is an update form, when the form POSTS to processUpdate.php, both the data entered by the user AND the data in the value attribute are inserted/updated. So, how does one dynamically build a form where the data is displayed in the text fields but value atttribute is not set. PHP Code:

How To Disable PHPSESSID From Posting In URL

How To Completely Disable Openbase_dir?
I'm using php 4.3.4 and have an intermitent problem with gallery (gallery.sourceforge.net) regarding the open_basedir restriction in php. The error I am getting is: ------ PHP Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/home/httpd/vhosts/mydom.com/httpdocs/gallery2/main.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://mydom.com/gallery2/main.php ------ I have disabled safemode and open_basedir in php.ini and have verified through a phpinfo() call that they are disabled. Actually, open_basedir is reported as being set to "no value" and safemode is reported as disabled. The strange thing is that this does not happen every time i access this page. It is only 1 out of 10 times and usually it is the first time i access the page for the day(but not always). I have restarted httpd and the server just in case. I also checked .htaccess but it shouldnt matter since phpinfo() says it is not set. This is baffling to me! If I could rip this feature out I would. It was installed by default on my dedicated server.

Disable Command Line Arguments For Php-cli
i have been trying to disable the -n and -c arguments that you can use with php from the command prompt. this is because these features can effectively disable my php.ini which has a whole mess of disabled_functions (that i want to ensure remain disabled). my best idea for going about doing this so far has been to download the source for the newest php, with hopes to compile my own which will ignore arguments other than a filename. so far the closest i have got is to the the zend_API.c which has the follow function: Code:
Disable .php Handler For A Specific Browser,
I would like to know if there is a way to remove/disable .php handler when the request come from a specific Browser. I ask this because I use dreamweaver / webdav to edit my .php files. But when I try to open the .php file in dreamweaver, what I see if the result of the .php executions, not the .php source files. I know that you can create an Alias location "/dav", and disable the ..php handler for this location. It's a solution, but not the best I think. It would be better if we can disable .php runtime where dreamweaver Get the files.

Why Does PHP As Apache Module Disable PHP's Java()?
My site was suddenly running HTTP authentication and was faster.

Disable Safe Mode Without Loss Of Security ?
I'm trying to disable safe mode from my php installation. First because this functionality will be removed in PHP6, and because it's very restrictive and it's giving me headaches when configuring frameworks and other applications. Moreover, it's said on the php website that the safe mode solution is not a good thing... I'm looking for a tutorial which indicates what to configure on a server in order to have a secured installation of PHP, but without safe mode. I can't find it...

PHP Script To Disable/enable Internet Access
We are finally getting DSL again... but our PC is in the living room... and the youngest has figured out that if he hits the right keys... he can bring up Internet Explorer. All is fine and dandy right now, but come next week... that things wont be so dandy. I am setting our LInux router/server back up soon, and would like a quick, easy way to enable and disable our internet access. What I would like to do is have a simple PHP page that says (iff network status = inactive) Your Internet Access is DISABLED Enter passcode to enable internet access [TEXTBOX] Then [OK] so on clicking "OK" if password = suchandsuch then run script" "/sbin/network start" or whatever the script is and refresh the page then iff network = active Your Internet Access is ENABLED [DISABLE] upon clicking of "DISABLE" run script /sbin/network stop and refresh the page Something to that effect.
Disable Passing Arrays In Query String?

Disable Submit Button If Text Field Is Empty
I am unsure if this must be done with Ajax, or if it can be done with PHP. I have a simple search page where I want the submit button to be disabled if there is nothing entered in the text field, and once something IS entered, then the search button is enabled. I was thinking Ajax, because I am looking for it to be real time and I am not sure if its possible with PHP as I am just a novice when it comes to certain things. So the button is always disabled when there is nothing, and enabled when the user enters something. And lets say the user enters something and removes it, then the button disables again? Is this possible to do with PHP and if so, could someone please help me tackle this . Code:
Pre-coding
I need some advice on feasability etc on using PHP (MySQL backend) for a little project that I have in my mind. I'm new to PHP, but not programming (thank God!) - so barring syntax, logic should be fine (I hope), but I'm unsure if PHP has the ability to do what I need (told you I was a newbie eh?? ) The project .... Simply put, the idea is for a series of drop down boxes to kinda act as a "filter"for data in the records in a mysql db. Ie, lets say for example that my db contains info about cars, with the columns, Make, Model, CC, Colour etc etc. Initially the user would see (in the above example), 4 drop down boxes, each with data pulled from the db relevant to their column id. The pulling of data I dont have a problem with - thats sorted. However, in the brief coding exercises I've done, its the ability to have a user choose any of the four drop boxes, and all the other 3 dropdown boxes data be ammended ? Am I explaining this well ? Lets say that I choose 'Red' from the Colour drop down - then the drop down box for Make should change to only be Makes where colour = red, Model should also change to where colour = red etc etc etc ? With me here ? At any point the user will have the ability to 'go' their selection - and all the records are displayed for the user. Am I wanting too much here from PHP? I've been told JScript would do what I need (better than PHP?????) but frankly I dont have the time to start learning another lang, so if this can be done in PHP I'd be happy.
Mail() Function Blocks Webpage For Nameserver Lookup ! How Can I Disable It?
When mail() function reaches a wrong email address or a down domain name (which it can not resolve it to its IP address) it blocks PHP page for a while. How can I disable this behaviour? I was able to disable this in mail clients such as Pine by setting an option that tells "Do not make DNS lookups before ading mail to queue" . Is there anything in PHP for doing this?
Best FTP Client For Coding PHP
I currently use Eclipse for creating the PHP application, which is great for editing but quite slow when using FTP. But when im testing i like to use CuteFTP Pro for quicky editing and seeing the results. Im getting fed up with CuteFTP as its really flakey. I am looking for a simiar application like CuteFTP that has an inbuilt editor but can not find one, every one I have looked at uses a different application to edit. Can anyone recomend a FTP editor that works well with quickly editing PHP web applications?
Coding Methods
Im trying to figure out some better coding methods. Maybe you more experienced guys can help me. Right now im working on a new site which is a bit larger than i usually do. Currently i have a main Index.php file which has functions which call functions that display html (footer.php, header.php, main_table.php). And inside these include files, i have php code which call him mysql functions, etc, etc. But after looking at for awhile, i can see some forseeable problems. What are some good coding methods that can help me code better and make it easy for me to update the code with out having to rewite everything.
Bad PHP Coding Practices?
I'm just wondering what are some bad (inefficient / resource intensive) PHP coding practices. For example, in Visual Basic string concatenation in a loop can really slow things down since a new string is created each time. Object creation has overhead and only so many objects can be created before it bogs down. Any significant problems with $a .= $a + "text" or objects in PHP? Any other bottlenecks?
Removing PHP Coding
I have php coding that is stored in mysql blobs. Now I want to index words in these blobs in an attempt to make some sort of a search engine. Example: How can I use php to make this mysql text: "Once upon a time there were <?php echo $num_bears ?> bears in a small cage in a zoo in Russia. They had <?php echo $num_relatives ?> relatives that lived there with them." Change into this: "Once upon a time there were bears in a small cage in a zoo in Russia. They had relatives that lived there with them." Point is: - remove everything between and including "<?php" and "?>" I'm trying to do some indexing, and I need to remove all my php coding... :)
Coding Convention
Consider the following code (contained in a class method): switch($sectionType) { case 'layout': return $this->getLayoutSection($sectionName); break; case 'content': return $this->getContentSection($sectionName); break; } Obviously neither break is going to get execute, because the method will return before it gets to them. I have gotten into the habit of putting breaks at the end of every case in a switch, even if it is not necessary (as the above). I have it somewhere in the back of my head that this is the "proper" way to do things. But now that I think about it, I have to ask, is this true? Is it consider good practice to always end case statements with a break, even when not necessary?
Anyone Use UltraDev For Php Coding?
I'm considering using Dreamweaver for general web design and have seen that UltraDev can be extended to use php. Has anyone had experience of this and if so, what are the good/bad features of this? In particular, I would want to create code that accesses a mysql database. I currently do all this by hand.
Is This Bad Coding Practice?
After recently coming back to php after working in asp for several years, I want to do things well, so I'm very concerned with learning good coding practices. Also I'm trying to seperate logic from presentation as much as I can through the use of the <?=$variable_output_goes_here?> output. I'll give you an example. Instead of putting the body of a for loop (that displays info from an array in a table), in the html, I'll declare a variable and put everything in the variable. <?php $display_results = '<table>' for ($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) { $display_results .= '<tr><td>' . $info[$i][0] . '</td><td>' . $info[$i][1] . '</td><td>' . $info[$i][2] . '</td></tr>' } $display_results .= '</table>' ?> Then I'll output into the html like so . . . <?=$display_results?> My question is, even though this seems to work, now I'm learning on a small scale at home. If I take this sort of coding habit to a production enviornment, is it going to slow down my code if I need to scale something up? If I'm this interested in logic/presentation seperation, would I just be better off using smarty?
Standard Coding...
I was wondering if there is a standard when mixing PHP and HTML script on a page... and if there were any articles on this subject... i.e. do I make every page a .php page on my website and echo html when I need to or... should I make every page html and embed php when I need to.. Obviously this only applies to pages where a mixture of php and html is required... for example... which is better or more standard.... <html> <head> <title>title text</title> </head> <body> You name is <?php $name?> </body> </html> saved as index.html or <?php echo '<html>' echo '<head>' echo '<title>title text</title>' echo '</head>' echo '<body>' echo 'Your name is '.$name; echo '</body>' echo '</html>' ?> saved as index.php
Best Coding Practice
let me say that this question is a rather general programming question, but the context is PHP, so I figured this group would have the most relevant insight. Anyways, this is also more of an opinion based question than one seeking a definite answer. Recently, while maintaining a rather large system. I needed to add an array class member to an object. It was exactly the same as another class member, except that one array stored regular products, and the other stored free promotional products. As such, I needed a way to add products to the new, free array. Since all the logic was the same between the two arrays aside from the price, I had a few different options to do this. I'm interested in polling which way some of the group members feel would have been the best. Naturally these are abbreviated versions of what I envisioned as possible solutions. #1. public function addArrayA($object){ //logic $a[] = $object; } public function addArrayB($object){ //same logic $b[] = $object; } #2. (These next two are arranged as such, because the class using these functions is included in many script files, all of which I may not be aware of, so there would have to be some default value for the array that was always used before this new array was needed) public function addArray($object, $free = NULL){ //logic if(!$free){ $a[] = $object; }else{ $b[] = $object; } } or #3 public function addArray($object, $arr = "a"){ //logic $$arr[] = $object; } I ended up going with option number 1, because I felt that despite the inefficient, redundant code it would later be more readable to other programmers that might work on the project. Additionally, I didn't feel wholly comfortable with default variables being the only difference between a full price product and a free product. Thoughts?
Coding Style...
When i write a script, i tend to seperate the differnt functions with differnt files. For example. When i creat a user management script, i create and add_user.php file and a modify_user.php file, and so on. I also see a lot of people who simply write one big 10 meg php file that includes everything in one. (seperated into functions.) Is there an advantage to this? Or is it just a matter of personal prefrence? I guess it really doesnt matter that much, i just wanted to know.
Streamline PHP Coding
This script was build to take a ZIP file that has been uploaded to our server, extract the TXT files within (which are always the same) and INSERT the contents of those TXT files into a MySQL DB that we have setup. Is there a way to stream line this coding and help it run faster? One of the TXT files in the ZIP has over 600,000 records and takes nearly two minutes to INSERT into the DB. Code:
Coding Standards For PHP
I've picked up much of my PHP coding from various tutorials scattered about the web. I'm proficient in my coding but believe that my method isn't up to conding standards. Can you refer me to sites which use good coding methods/standards? Or is there a good reference site (other than php.net)?
Coding XHTML
I was wondering what the correct way to integrate xhtml into php? Do you design you your entire site with the xhtml inside of php or only embed the xhtml in php when necessary? For instance would you put your entire xhtml output and php with in a variable and echo it out all at once. Or does it really depend on the situation?
Highlight_string Coding Problem
Here's my goal. There's a textarea box, where I type text. I created a ubb code, [table] where it shows a brown table. This is where I'll have my PHP code. My goal is, the text between the [table] and [/table], I want the text to be in a highlight_string() function.
Simple Wiki As PHP Coding Example?
I'm currently learning PHP using the ORA "cuckoo" book. I'm looking for some reasonably interesting sample code to read and thought that a *simple* Wiki could be ideal. Can anyone recommend a Wiki which implements the basic functionality only to keep things simple, written in nice clear PHP code? I'm hoping that a couple of hundred lines or less of PHP will suffice to get a basic wiki running, without resorting to obfusticated coding contest tactics...
Coding Standards Without Control?
A recent poll asked if programming standards are used by development organisations... and if they are controlled. None: 20% Yes, but without control: 49% Yes, with control: 31% Participants: 369 A majority of the participating organisations have coding standards... and a majority does not control them ;o) What is the situation at your location?
Want Php Coding/script For Timing
Any one know about coding/script which can show the different between two time for example the orignal time is 2:00PM and the current time is 2:30PM so the result will be 30 mintues...
Coding/form Problem
I am just in the very early stages of learning Php and just need.. I have a form which includes values. However when I test it, the values are not added up and carried to the results page. I just wondered if you can spot whats wrong with it? This is the form on the page tourprice.php: <form name="frm_tourprice" id="frm_tourprice" method="post" action="tourprice_processor.php"> <table width="60%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td>Number of Adults </td> <td><input name="numAdults" type="text" id="numAdults" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Number of Children </td> <td><input name="numChildren" type="text" id="numChildren" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Tour Name </td> <td><select name="tourName" id="tourName"> <option value="500">Highlights of Argentina</option> <option value="700">Highlights of Western Canada</option> <option value="900">Egyptian Pyramids and More</option> </select></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /></td> </tr> </table> </form> On the tourprice_calculator.php page it is supposed to add everything up depending on what you select and give you the correct cost. I keep getting a zero returned though. This is at the top of tourprice_calculator.php <?php $numAdult = $_POST['numAdults']; $numChild = $_POST['numChildren']; $basePrice = $_POST['tourName']; $tourPrice = (numAdult * basePrice) + (numChild * basePrice) ?> Further down on the page I have the following: Tour Price Calculator </h1> <p>The estimated cost of your tour is <strong><?php echo $tourPrice; ?></strong>.</p> <p>Price includes hotel, accommodation, and travel expenses during the tour. They do not include airfare to the starting destination.</p> <p><a href="tourprice.php">Calculate</a> another tour.</p> <p><a href="contact.php">Contact</a> one of our qualified agents.</p>
