PHP - Pear Validation Problems

I tried to use ctype_alnum as input validation for the name and the password, so that only letters and numbers are allowed with no spaces.

If I use ctype_alnum only with the nickname, then the nickname will not get entered properly into the database, it will get entered as "1" into the database. And the password does not make it past the elseif statement:


Code: [Select]
        // check password char length
        } elseif (strlen($password) > 25 || strlen($password) < 6) {


Here's the script:

Code: [Select]
/* REGISTER FORM */
// check if submit button has been clicked
if (isset($_POST['submit_signup'])) {

// process and assign variables after post submit button has been clicked
$user_email = strip_tags($_POST['email']);
$user_email             = filter_var($user_email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);

$nickname = ctype_alnum(strip_tags($_POST['nickname']));
$password = ctype_alnum($_POST['password']);
$repassword = ctype_alnum($_POST['repassword']);
$month = $_REQUEST['month'];
$day = $_REQUEST['day'];
$year = $_REQUEST['year'];
$dob = $year . "-" . $month . "-" . $day;
$find_us_question = strip_tags(trim($_POST['find_us_question']));

// connect to database
$dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);

$check_query = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE nickname = '$nickname'";

$check_connect  = mysqli_query($dbc, $check_query) or die(mysqli_error($dbc));

$check_count =  mysqli_num_rows($check_connect);

       
       
       
        // Check if the email exists twice
       
        $query_get = "SELECT email FROM user WHERE email = '$user_email'";

        $query_run = mysqli_query($dbc, $query_get);

        $num_rows = mysqli_num_rows($query_run);
       
       
       
       
        if(!$nickname) {
           
            echo 'Please do fill out the name in letters and numbers only, without spaces and special characters.';
           
        } elseif(!$password || !$repassword) {
           
            echo 'Please choose a password which conists of letters and numbers only, without spaces and special characters.';
         
           
        // check if username is already taken   
        }elseif ($check_count != 0) {
           
echo "Username already exists!";
           
               
        } elseif ($num_rows != 0) {
           
            echo "This email address is already registered in the database, you can not register it twice.";
           
           
// check if fields are empty
} elseif (empty($user_email) || empty($nickname) || empty($password) || empty($day) || empty($month) || empty($year)) {

                echo "Please fill out all the fields!";

        // check char length of input data
        } elseif (strlen($nickname) > 30 || strlen($user_email) > 50) {

                echo "Maximum allowed character length for nickname/firstname/lastname are 30 characters!";

        // check password char length
        } elseif (strlen($password) > 25 || strlen($password) < 6) {

                echo "Your password must be between 6 and 25 characters!";

        // check if passwords match with each other
        } elseif ($password != $repassword) {

                echo "Please make sure your passwords are matching!";

        } else {
        // encrypt password
                $password = sha1($password);

        // generate random number for activation process
        $random = rand(1212121212, 9854241752);

        // write into database
Any ideas why I am getting these problems with ctype_alnum() ?

When I put all my code in one file, everything runs smooth, as soon as I try to put a chunk of code in a separte PHP file and use an include or require_once I get the error Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in...PEAR\config.php yadda yadda

I've done some research and I understand that passing an object by reference (&obj) is no longer acceptable in PHP 5, that's fine, but no where in my code do I have an ampersand, and again, it all works fine if it's all in the same .php file. So i figure i might be doing something wrong with my includes or something.

The errors that I am getting are

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Config.php on line 80

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Config.php on line 166

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Config\Container.php on line 111

Code: [Select]
include('config.php');
connect();

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($ran_result)) {
    $ran_image = $row['image'];
    $category = $row['category'];
    $last = $row['l_name'];
    $first = $row['f_name'];
    $return = $row['item_return'];
}

echo "<div id='random'>\n";
echo "<h1>Random Signatures</h1>\n";
echo "<img src='../auto_images/$ran_image' /><br />\n";
echo "<p><a href='../auto_pages/signatures.php?c=$category&l=$last&f=$first'>$first $last</a></p>\n";
echo "<p>$return</p>\n";
echo "<br>";
echo "</div>";
?>
Am I doing something wrong with the include?

Hi all,

Will reading on php.net about the famous mail() function somewhere in the notes, the author mentions to use Pear:: for sending larger amounts of email.

Since I have never done anything with pear, I was wondering if it weren't better to start out with Pear, since it's more a long term thinking solution or shoudl i first start  with mail().  I have read the Pear pagess, and all I saw were delayed mail sending and sending in larger quantities. If someone could maybe advise me on would could be a best practise i would love to hear

I am trying to send an email to my gmail account using Mail SMTP.

With the following code:
<?php
include 'incl/php/Mail.php';

$recipients = 'xxxxxxxx@gmail.com';

$headers['From']    = 'no-reply@newzstand.us';
$headers['To']      = $recipients;
$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';
$headers['Date'] = date('r', time());
$headers['Message-Id'] = '<'.  microtime(true).'@newzstand.us>';

$body = 'Test message';

$domain = preg_replace("/.*@([^@]*)/", '\1', $recipients);
$mxrr = getmxrr($domain, $mxhosts);
$params['host'] = $mxhosts[0];
$params['localhost'] = 'mail.newzstand.us';
$params['username'] = 'no-reply';
$params['password'] = 'xxxxxxx';

// Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method
$mail_object =& Mail::factory('smtp', $params);

$send = $mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($send)){
echo $send->getMessage();
}else{
echo 'No error';
}
?>

I get the following message:
Failed to connect to alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused (code: -1, response: )]

Why is Gmail refusing me?

The script below works but it goes straight to the junk folder only since i added the parts below to the form. (the form is in another file)
How do i stop it from going to the junk folder.

Hello,

I have been trying to get my script to draw a barcode but it always outputs a message saying "the image cannot be displayed because it contains errors".

I have googled the problem and it seems to be about the headers, I also made sure the "extension=php_gd2.dll" is not commented in php.ini.

Could anyone please let me know why this script from pear.php.net can't draw a barcode on my xampp 1.7.7 with php 5.3.8

Code: [Select]
<?php
require_once("Image/Barcode.php");
header("Content-type: image/png");
Image_Barcode::draw('1234', 'Code39', 'png');
?>

Hi everybody,

I am working with SOAP-PEAR and run on a nasty problem I don't know answer to.  First I explain what I know how to do.  I am trying to construct a soap request and I know how to do this if XML has this structu

Case 1
Code: [Select]
<parent>
    <child1>string</child1>
    <child2>string</child2>
    <child3>string</child3>
</parent>

In this case, I construct an Array("root" => new Soap_Value("child1", "string", "value"))....

Now my problem is that I don't know how to create an array() or some other data if XML structure is like this:

Case 2
Code: [Select]
<parent child1="value1" child2="value2" child3="value3" />
 

Could somebody please tell me how I can construct a SOAP request with SOAP-PEAR for that structure in Case 2?  I just can't find a way to formulate it using arrays or some other data type 

Your help will greatly be appreciated.

Thank you,
Victor.

Hello,
Am a newbie using PEAR packages in my coding. I installed smarty on XAMPP recently and followed the configuration process in the 'php.ini' file, labelling the path to the '\libs\' directory. Before installation of smarty, my pear packages were working fine, never received any errors. However, after installing smarty and including my template file 'config.php' with 'Auth/HTTP.php' within the same file, i gor these errors;

Warning: require_once(Auth/HTTP.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\OReilly\pear\blog\login.php on line 10

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Auth/HTTP.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\smarty\libs') in C:\xampp\htdocs\OReilly\pear\blog\login.php on line 10

Warning: Cannot modify header information. Headers already sent by C:\xampp\htdocs\OReilly\pear\blog\login.php on line 10


Anybody got ideas what i can do to correct this issue, thanks.
I have attached my templates file 'config.php' and my login script, the one that allows users to login be fore they access results to the database called 'login.php'

hi guys

im using the pear xml serializer but i am running into a problem,

i have a framework for an API which i use to create an array and then output as xml with xml serializer.

The issue i have run into:

i define a default tag before i create an array

so my array is for example

array(
   "a"
   "b"
)

both of these will get labeled video in there xml
thats fine

<video>a</video>
<video>b</video>

ok so i have a whole bunch of "videos" with there _attributes set.


inside each video i need multiple media elements

<media x=2>x</media>
<media x=4>x</media>
<media x=5>x</media>

my problem is that you cant add multiple items to an array with the same Key.

array(
   "media" => x,
   "media" => x,
   "media" => x
)

and if i let it default then the default tag is video


plus i cant set the _attributes of the tag unless i make the value of the key into an array eg.


array(
   "media" => array("_aributes" => array("x" => 1), "mediaValue" => "x"),
   "media" => array("_aributes" => array("x" => 2), "mediaValue" => "x"),
   "media" => array("_aributes" => array("x" => 2), "mediaValue" => "x")
)


this will give me

<media x=2><mediaValue>x</mediaValue></media>
<media x=4><mediaValue>x</mediaValue></media>
<media x=5><mediaValue>x</mediaValue></media>

at the moment i get

<video>
     <media x=2><mediaValue>x</mediaValue></media>
</video>
<video>
    <media x=4><mediaValue>x</mediaValue></media>
</video>
<video>
    <media x=5><mediaValue>x</mediaValue></media>
</video>

i want to get

<media x=2>x</media>
<media x=4>x</media>
<media x=5>x</media>


any help ? thanks im relay stuck on this one plus my API framework has constraints because it initializes the serializer at the end and inserts the array and parses outputs it


even an injection work around would be good but the serializer seems to convert all tags into html char codes

Okay so I am using PEAR's Validate package to validate a few values in my form, it validates the username just fine, but is for some reason returning false on the password field, even if the credentials are correct. Here is the link to the package (http://pear.php.net/package/Validate/)
