I have some code on my PHP powered site that creates a random hash (using sha1()) and I use it to match records in the database. This is to obfuscate things like id's in query strings which can (and usually are) sequential, and I don't want anyone changing it in the query string to get other information. What are the chances of a collis...
Can someone suggest me a good free php script to use as a poll for a web-site? I'd need a simple script to show on the web page with the standard multiple option vote + bar chart graph. Also an admin interface with add / edit / delete poll would be required. ...
In PHP 5.2 there was a nice security function added called "input_filter", so instead of saying: $name = $_GET['name']; you can now say: $name = filter_input (INPUT_GET, 'name', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); and it automatically sanitizes your string, there is also: FILTER_SANITIZE_ENCODED FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT FILTER_SANITIZE_EM...
$sourcePath = 'images/'; // Path of original image $sourceUrl = ''; $sourceName = 'photo1.jpg'; // Name of original image $thumbPath = 'thumbs/'; // Writeable thumb path $thumbUrl = 'thumbs/'; $thumbName = "test_thumb.jpg"; // Tip: Name dynamically $thumbWidth = 100; // Intended dimension of thumb // Beyond this point is simply code. $s...
The vim * star / asterisk search (:help star) is a great feature which lets you find the next occurrence of the word the cursor is over. Unfortunately it treats dollar-prefixes as part of the string, so if I press * while over the "SearchTerm" in the class name it finds "SearchTerm" in the comment, and "$this->SearchTerm", but not "$Sear...

CodeIgniter allows access to POSTed data via: $this->input->post('input_name'); where 'input_name' is the name of a form field. This works well for a static form where each input name in known ahead of time. In my case, I am loading a collection of key/value pairs from the database. The form contains a text input for each key/value p...
Hi, I've been trying to build a simple prototype application in Django, and am reaching the point of giving up, sadly, as it's just too complicated (I know it would be worth it in the long-run, but I really just don't have enough time available -- I need something up and running in a few days). So, I'm now thinking of going with PHP ins...
So far, i've tried Vanilla (from lussumo) which keeps breaking, specially on the session handling, and PHPbb which feels like using a bfg9000 to make a phone call. I self host my blog, and would love to know what's out there. To top it off, this is a would-be site for designers, so flash (not adobe) and content over functionality (e.g.,...

We have some integer arithmetic which for historical reasons has to work the same on PHP as it does in a few statically typed languages. Since we last upgraded PHP the behavior for overflowing integers has changed. Basically we are using following formula: function f($x1, $x2, $x3, $x4) { return (($x1 + $x2) ^ $x3) + $x4; } Howev...
