I have a variable i am pulling from a url, but i want to make sure no
one can hack my pages using the sql url hack. Does anyone have a good
way to strip out any special characters? like: ',",;,:,/,.,&, etc...
Thanks,
Matt

I'm pretty certain it is one of those brilliant, sarcastic military acronymns like
SNAFU (situation normal, all f@#$%d up), as alluded to by Mikey- however, I believe
the correct meaning is f@#$%d up beyond all repair. Witness the following
hypothetical exchanges:
"So soldier, what's the sitrep?"
"SNAFU, sir..."
and
"How bad is it, soldier?"
"Well sir, I'm afraid it's FUBAR..."
Phonetically, FUBAR was simplified to FOOBAR, which allowed it to be parsed into FOO
and BAR by standard software :-{)>
Cheers,
Fred Woolsey

Hehe!!!
It's one of those classic terms that spans across many languages and
dates back quite a long time. Whenever I pickup a programming book,
somewhere in there, you'll find the infamous foo and bar...

Just my opinion, but I think it comes from the acronym FUBAR - f@cked up
beyond all recognition...

MC,
Whatever happened to good ole' x, y and z???
Anywho, I am quite certain of the military origin of "FUBAR" and "SNAFU", but leave it
to softwarians to expropriate the former term, change the spelling to FOOBAR, then
divide it into the now legendary FOO and BAR. Who knows, maybe Grace Hopper (of USN,
FORTRAN, and ENIAC fame) first forked FOOBAR into FOO | BAR???
Cheers,
Fred Woolsey

I think a few of you are slightly off (or perhaps I am about to be). I
learned a while back that 'foo' and 'bar' are not just terms in
programming, but in general science where variables are concerned.
Suppose, for example, you are trying to define this awesome formula for
perpetual motion, and in your research you have to explain a function to
your colleagues. In order to keep the level of confusion low, you would
use the terms 'foo' and 'bar' to illustrate instances, variables,
etcetera, and your audience would also understand that you are referring
to such instances in a hypothetical manner, rather than realistically.
In other words, if you mention 'foo' and 'bar' in a conversation, your
listener would assume a hypothetical instance of whatever you subject
may be.
Or something to that effect...

Hmm.. :-))
but I'm afraid it's not only IT technology question
:-) If you've remember in "Saving Private Ryan" movie
this question apperars there a lot of times... "What
is foobar?"
So, what the f**k is foobar? :-)

If you are usiong the PHP.EXE binary instead of the ISAPI module.
.php should be mapped to:
c:\php\php.exe "%1"
so IIS passes the document to PHP as an argument.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] PHP on IIS4 problem
Hello,
I am newbie to PHP and have been trying to install PHP on my local W2k IIS4
until I get the chance to setup a Linux box. I used the window binary from
php.net with installer PHP 4.3.0 installer (CGI)
The installation ran smoothly. and I checked for permissions although I am
not on NTFS .
The IIS renders php files as regular html without executing the code
enclosed within the <?php ?> tags
I also ran c:\php\php.exe -i and it rendered indeed the proper html document
without any errors.
Under the IIS Manager >> properties >>WWWService>>Home Directory>>App
Mappings
.php is already associated with c:\php\php.exe with all verbs option and
script checked
It just won't work !!
any help is greatly appreciated
thanks in advance
PC

Hi,
This is not true for php4. Both cgi and isapi versions can be mapped
without any extensions. You have to make sure it is the CGI binary you are
mapping to and not the CLI.

I'd like ask what is the alternative of an mysql dbs in php. I mean in asp
they use mdb (aceess files). What can we use in php for a cheaper hosting?
If you have any documentations or tutorials on the net about it, it will
help much.
thanks,
