TCL 1, PHP 0 Ok, I am frustrated.. here is my code and this portion has to be done in PHP. I have a frame that can only be accessed if 1 of 2 things occur:
1) if $HTTP_REFERER has a specific value 2) if your nickname passed in the query string is found in the existing nicknames.txt file found in /chat/nicknames.txt Here is the code: <? // Security measure to prevent bookmarking of page unless nickname exists in nicknames.txt $contents = ""; if (!preg_match("/\bchat_process_nickname\b/i", $HTTP_REFERER)) { $canAccessChatroom = 1; if (strlen($nickname) < 2) $canAccessChatroom = 0; if (!file_exists($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/chat/nicknames.txt")) $canAccessChatroom = 0; if ($canAccessChatroom == 1) { $fileID = fopen($DOCUMENT_ROOT. "/chat/nicknames.txt", r) or die ("could not open file"); if (!$fileID) { $canAccessChatroom = 0; } else { $contents = fread($fileID); fclose($fileID); } } if ($canAccessChatroom == 1 && strlen($contents) == 0) $canAccessChatroom = 0; if ($canAccessChatroom == 1 && !preg_match("/[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+/", $contents)) $canAccessChatroom == 0; if ($canAccessChatroom == 1) { if (!preg_match("/\b$nickname\b/i", $contents)) $canAccessChatroom == 0; } if ($canAccessChatroom == 0) { echo "<meta http-equiv=Refresh content='1;URL=http://" . $SERVER_NAME . "/chat/chat_login.php'>\n"; echo "<script>\n<!--\n location.href='http://" . $SERVER_NAME . "/chat/chat_login.php';\n\/\/-->\n</script>\n"; } } ?> No matter what I do, however, the file cannot be accessed if it exists and causes damage galore. Can anyone out there help me figure out what I did wrong; I'm completely stumped and may have to rewrite this portion of the chatroom in TCL, all of my TCL scripts have had NO problems whatsoever accessing the txt files.
