PHP - Curl With Link Fixer - Input Needed

Hi!

I'm working a on wordpress website with member pages. Members enter their information via custom fields. Everything is working great except when trying to create a link based on one of those custom field. Unless the member enter his website address in the http://mysite.com format the link my code create is not valid.

This is the code i'm currently using
Code: [Select]
<?php $msite = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'ccio_site', true) ; if (!empty($msite)) { ?><li>Site Internet: <a href="<?php echo ($msite) ; ?>"><?php echo ($msite) ; ?></a></li><?php } ?>
Example of a member page where the format create an error. The input field is: Code: [Select]
www.pechabot.com

Example of a member page where the format is ok. The input field is Code: [Select]
http://www.annuairesgb.com
How can I format the input string so my code will work even if someone doesn't write the full address with the http:?

Thanks a lot for looking

Hello Codingforums, yet again I desire some help to my coding, this time regarding a paypal button.

good day dear community,

i am workin on a Curl loop to fetch multiple pages:

i have some examples - and a question:

Example: If we want to get information from 3 sites with CURL we can do it like so:


$list[1] = "http://www.example1.com";
$list[2] = "ftp://example.com";
$list[3] = "http://www.example2.com";


After creating the list of links we should initialize the cURL multi handle and adding the cURL handles.


$curlHandle = curl_multi_init();
for ($i = 1;$i <= 3; $i++)
 $curl[$i] = addHandle($curlHandle,$list[$i]);


Now we should execute the cURL multi handle retrive the
content from the sub handles that we added to the cURL multi handle.

ExecHandle($curlHandle);
for ($i = 1;$i <= 3; $i++)
{
 $text[$i] =  curl_multi_getcontent ($curl[$i]);
 echo $text[$i];
}

In the end we should release the handles from the cURL multi handle by calling curl_multi_remove_handle and close the cURL multi handle!

If we want to another Fetch of sites with cURL-Multi - since this is the most pretty way to do it!
Well I am not sure bout the string concatenation. How to do it - Note I want to fetch several hundred pages:
see the some details for this target-server sites - /(I have to create a loop over several hundred sites).

    * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9009
    * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9742
    * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9871

.... and so on and so forth Question: How to appy this loop into the array of the curl-multi?

I look forward to your ideas.

I have this function completely written in my class file that I am working on.  The point to this function is to be able to check the login of a user or administrator for either of the control panels associated with my site.

It will check the session intime as well as the page / module referenced.  Once it passes all those checks, it will check and ensure the emailaddress/password stored in the current session still holds true and the account is still active...  if the account is still active it will update the lastActivity as well as update all of the session variables with what is currently in the database.

What I am looking for is basically a look at the function, see if it looks good..  If there is any part to it that could create security holes for the site just off the login function itself...

Usage: $q->validUser($_SESSION['user'], $_mod);

<?php
 function validUser($sess, $p) {

if ($sess['inTime'] == '' && $p != 'login' && $p != 'logout') {
session_destroy();
$login = '0';
$_int = '';
return $login;
} else if ($sess['inTime'] < time()-3600 && $p != 'login') {
$sess['inTime'] = '';
session_destroy();
$this->check_login($sess, $p);
} else {
$this->user = $sess['emailAddress'];
$this->pass = $sess['password'];

$login = $this->sql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE emailAddress = '".$this->user."' AND password = '".$this->pass."' 
   AND status = '1' LIMIT '1'");
if ($login = $this->sql_numrows($login) < 1) {
$sess['inTime'] == '';
session_destroy();
$login = '0';
} else {
// logged in, lets update the database for last_activity AND the session.

$this->sql_query("UDATE users SET lastActivity = '".now()."' WHERE
  emailAddress = '".$this->user."'");
$login = $this->sql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE emailAddress = '".$this->user."' AND password = '".$this->pass."' 
       AND status = '1' LIMIT '1'");
$login = mysql_fetch_assoc($login);
foreach ($login as $key => $value)
{ 
$sess[$key] = $value;
}
$sess['inTime'] = time();
$login = '1';
}
return $login;
}
}

?>

That is the main function, sql_query and sql_numrows is:

<?php
function sql_query($query = "", $transaction = FALSE) {
unset($this->query_result);

if ($query != "") {
$this->num_queries++;
if ($transation == BEGIN_TRANSACTION && !$this->in_transation) {
$result = mysql_query("BEGIN", $this->db_connect_id);
if (!$result) {
return false;
}
$this->in_transaction = TRUE;
}

$this->query_result = mysql_query($query, $this->db_connect_id);
} else {
if ($transaction == END_TRANSACTION && $this->in_transaction ) {
$result = mysql_query("COMMIT", $this->db_connect_id);
}
}
if ($this->query_result) {
unset($this->row[$this->query_result]);
unset($this->rowset[$this->query_result]);

if ($transaction == END_TRANSACTION && $this->in_transaction ) {
$this->in_transaction = FALSE;
if (!mysql_query("COMMIT", $this->db_connect_id)) {
mysql_query("ROLLBACK", $this->db_connect_id);
return false;
}
}
return $this->query_result;
} else {
if ($this->in_transaction ) {
mysql_query("ROLLBACK", $this->db_connect_id);
$this->in_transaction = FALSE;
}
return false;
}
}

function sql_numrows($query_id = 0) {
if(!$query_id) {
$query_id = $this->query_result;
}
return ($query_id) ? mysql_num_rows($query_id) : false;
} ?>

Any insight that can help to benefit these functions would be appreciated.

I am writing a script that will parse my PHP classes and check for things like coupling, visualize my objects and connections, dependencies, check for convention usage, etc.   So, I have a simple file upload.  I'm never saving the files, just get contents and dump the file and work with the string version.   I'm writing it for me, but I figure I might want to open it for others to use in the future, so I may as well write it that way to begin with -- so I need to validate user input.  Problem is, the user input is supposed to be valid PHP code.  I'm thinking that, as long as I'm careful, I shouldn't be executing any code contained in strings, but I'm no security expert and I want a warm fuzzy that my thought on this is correct.  What kinds of things do I need to look out for?  Is it possible to inject when working with strings?   My initial thought is to regex the entire file and replace key portions with known replacements.  So ( and ) would become !* and !^ or $ would become @~ (combinations that -- I think -- don't make sense to php?)  But that may be completely unnecessary processing time if I'm not in any danger, here.  Thanks ahead of time for any help.   PS - as a side question -- what's the best way to verify a file is a php file?  I know of getimagesize for images, but should I just check for <? to verify it's php?  That seems like it would be too easy to fool -- then again, it might not matter much.   -Adam

I hope I can explain what is happening.  I have created two forms in PHP.  The first 'almost' works, i.e. it shows the data.  But I have two problems - 1) the second pulldown menu is always empty and 2) $value from the first pulldown menu ALWAYS equals the last entry thus the last 'if' in the function subdomains ($domains) is always called (but still empty).  The code may explain this better than me:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
   <!-- processDomains.php is this file - it calls itself (for testing purposes so I can see what is happening) -->
   <form action="processDomains.php" method="post">
   <?php
       // create the domains array (there are actually several entries in the array but I cut it down for testing)
       $domains = array (1 => 'Decommission', 'Migration');
    
       echo "Select Domain:";
       echo "<br>";
    
       // Make the domain pull-down menu - this displays correctly
       echo '<select name="domain">';
       foreach ($domains as $key => $value) {
          echo "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n";
       }
       echo '</select>';

       // input doesn't matter what is 'submitted', always goes to last $value
       echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">';

       // call function subdomains
       subdomains ($value);
    
       function subdomains ($domains) {
           // define values for each array - each array contains available choices for the subdomain pulldown menu
           $migration = array (1 => 'Application Migration', 'Application Patch', 'Application Upgrade');
           $decommission = array (1 => 'Applications', 'Servers', 'Storage');
    
           if ($domains === 'Migration') {
              echo "Select subdomain:";
              echo "<br>";
              // Make the Migration pull-down menu
              echo '<select name="migration">';
              foreach ($migration as $key => $value) {
                  echo "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n";
              }
              echo '</select>';
           } else if ($domains === 'Decommission') {

              /* ===
               * since 'Decommission' is the last entry in the 'Domains' pulldown list, $value ALWAYS equals
               * 'Decommission' and $domains equals $value. So this menu SHOULD work but is always
               * empty.  Thus, two problems - the pulldown menu is always empty and $value isn't based
               * upon user input.
              */
              echo "Select subdomain:";  // this prints so I know I'm in 'Decommission (I eliminated the echo "$domain" to show I'm always coming here)'
              echo "<br>";
              // Make the 'Decommission' pull-down menu
              echo '<select name="decommission">';
              foreach ($decommission as $key => $value) {
                  echo "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n";
              }
              echo '</select>';
              echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">'
           ) // end of 'if-else'
    } // end of function 'subdomain'
     
?>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Let me say thank you in advance and I appreciate the help!  I know I'm doing something (or more than one thing) wrong and I hope someone can tell me what it is.    Best Regards!

I have a calendar select date function for my form that returns the date in the calendar format for USA: 02/16/2012.  I need to have this appear as is for the form and in the db for the 'record_date' column, but I need to format this date in mysql DATE format (2012-02-16) and submit it at the same time with another column name 'new_date' in the database in a hidden input field.  Is there a way to do this possibly with a temporary table or something?

Any ideas would be welcome.

Hello. I have a bit of a problem. When I fetch the link field from the database.i don't see an actual link on the page.  One more thing, what type of field should I use to store the link in the database? Probably there is where I went wrong. All help is 

Hi

I've got this database I created with fields

ProductId   ProductName  Image

I've managed to get it to list the ID,productname, and Image urls
in a list.

My next step is to have the image field actually display
an image and make it clickable:

heres what I've done so far:

Code: [Select]
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("productfeed", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM productfeeds");

echo 
"<table border='0'>
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Image</th>
</tr>";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['ProductID'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['ProductName'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['ImageURL'] . "</td>";
  echo "</tr>";
  }
echo "</table>";

mysql_close($con);
?>
Heres what I want to do:

Code: [Select]
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['ProductID'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['ProductName'] . "</td>";

 // my changes beneath
  echo "<td>" . <a href="<?php echo $row['ImageURL'];?>"> <img src="<?php echo $row['LinkURL']; ?>"> </a>. "</td>";
  echo "</tr>";
  }
echo "</table>";

mysql_close($con);
?>
Can you guys point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

Hi Support,

I have a form, where it collects user description input. I can collect the inputs and store it with newline. The issue is - how to collect the http link to actual hyperlink ref during display.  The following is my code:

<textarea name="description" cols="50" rows="10" id="description"><?php echo str_replace("<br>", "\n", $description);?></textarea></td>

For example, User input:

Hi, Check it out - http://www.google.com/

I would like to display google link as href so that Viewers can click the link and go to the page. Right now, it is not href and user need to copy the link to new tabs or pages and then it can come.

Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Ahsan

here's my code that i've used to send an email.

Code: [Select]
$link = "<a href=\"http://www.example.com/" . $num . "\">" . $num . "</a>";

$query = "SELECT content FROM emails";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die();
$email_content = mysql_result($result, 0);
$email = sprintf($email_content, $first, $name, $from, $link, $record, $rec, $inc, $max);
$email_body = stripslashes(htmlentities($email, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'));

// this is sent to another php script via post....

$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = nl2br(html_entity_decode($_POST['email_body']));
$to = "me@whatever.com";
$charset='UTF-8';
$encoded_subject="=?$charset?B?" . base64_encode($subject) . "?=\n";
$headers="From: " . $userEmail . "\n"
. "Content-Type: text/html; charset=$charset; format=flowed\n"
. "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
. "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
. "X-Mailer: PHP\n";
mail($to,$encoded_subject,$message,$headers);
   

in the db, emails.content is of the text type and contains several lines of text with %4$s which inserts the value of $link into the body.  when the email arrives, there is a link and it appears fine, with the value of $num hyperlinked.  however when you click on it it doesn't go anywhere.  when copying the link location from the email it gives me

x-msg://87/%22http://www.example.com/16

what is x-msg?  how can i get this to work properly?

Hello, I'm new to lot of this and especially php.

I'm having hard time with one of my app that I created. 
If you go to ticketlawyerorlando.com/sms5.html and you try to send text, (which is set to go to only one number (mine)) than I get error code from php that is supposed to curl it. 


Error:

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: Invalid curl configuration option in /home/content/s/j/1/sj10mil/html/ticketlawyerorlando/sms5.php on line 10

My Html code is :
Code: [Select]
<html>
<body>
<br/>
<form action="sms5.php" method="post">
<b>Your Phone Number:</b> <input type="text" name="to" />
<br/>
<b>Message:</b> <input type="text" name="msg" />
<br/>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

My sms5.php code is :
Code: [Select]
<html>
<head>
<title>SMS STATUS</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
//print $to;
//print $msg;
$curl_handle=curl_init();

//print $code;
//print $response;
print "SUCCESS";
curl_close($curl_handle);
?>
</body>
</html>

In my php, the URL that's being curled, in the part where it says "test4" that should be actual message that  is typed in the form but I don't know what kind of parameter to insert there in order for it to send message that's written, it always sends message "test4".

Please, if you could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank You so much again.


MOD EDIT: code tags added

I have a few questions that deals with cURL.

Question #1
Lets say I'm using cURL to fill out a form with multiple pages. Is cURL able to navigate through each page of the form retaining all the previous pages information until I reach the last page, then submit it all without losing any data?

I'm pretty sure this is possible, I just can't seem to find any tutorials or help with it.

Question #2
Lets just say I was trying to fill out a form with a CAPTCHA (which obviously I can't get past). Is there a way to display the web page with all the other information filled out, and just leave the CAPTCHA blank to be manually inputted?

It would be greatly appreciated if you are able to point me in the right direction! Thanks in advance!

I am using the following code.
Code: [Select]
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
I was given a .cer file should I set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to TRUE  and set the path to the .cer file?

Any help would be awesome.
Thanks
