php — fsockopen post https request

Posted on by

to make a https post request, the difference is the port and the protocal used.take a look at the example code below:

Source code     
$data = array();
$data['name'] = $name;
$data['tel'] = $tel;
//error_log('data: ' . print_r($data,1) ."\n" , 3, 'log');    
$req = '';
foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
    //$value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
    $req .= "&$key=$value";
}
//error_log('req: ' . $req ."\n" , 3, 'log');   
$post_url = 'ssl://www.abcdomain.com';
$header = '';
$header .= "POST /index.php/api/ HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Host: www.abcdomain.com\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n";
$fp = fsockopen ($post_url, 443, $errno, $errstr, 60);
//error_log('errno: ' . $errno . ' errstr: ' . $errstr ."\n" , 3, 'log');
if (!$fp) {
    //do something
} else {
    fputs ($fp, $header . $req);
    while (!feof($fp)) {
        if ($body == '' && strpos ( $res, "\r\n\r\n" ) === FALSE) {
            $res = fgets ($fp, 1024);
        } else {
            $body = fgets ($fp, 1024);
        }
    }
}
$objRes = json_decode($body);
//error_log('res: ' . $res . "\n", 3 , 'log');

make sure your php is configured with openssl extension enabled

extension=php_openssl.dll

php — how to check if js enabled in the client

Posted on by

PHP is running in the server side,so it has no access to the client’s browser.how to check if the the javascript status of the client’s browser?Technically no way but we may get some way to work out.

setting cookies with JS and detecting them from PHP, see the example code below:

Source code     
<?
if($_SESSION['JSexe']){     //3rd check js
    if($_COOKIE['JS'])  setcookie('JS','JS',time()-1);//check on every page load
    else            header('Location: js.html');
}               //2nd so far it's been server-side scripting. Client-side scripting must be executed once to set second cookie.
                //Without JSexe, user with cookies and js enabled would be sent to js.html the first page load.
elseif($_COOKIE['PHP'])     $_SESSION['JSexe'] = true;
else{               //1st check cookies
    if($_GET['cookie']) header('Location: cookies.html');
    else{
                setcookie('PHP','PHP');
                header('Location: '.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].'?cookie=1');
    }
}
?>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">document.cookie = 'JS=JS'</script>
</head>

php — my experience of send post request via fsockopen function

Posted on by

i need to send post request to remote server without redirecting the client browser.With the help of php manual,i got the following code to work:

Source code     
$req = '';
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
    $value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
    $req .= "&$key=$value";
}
 
$post_url = 'www.abcdomain.com';
$header = '';
$header .= "POST /cgi-bin/search HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n";
$fp = fsockopen ($post_url, 80, $errno, $errstr, 60);
if (!$fp) {
    //do something
} else {
     fputs ($fp, $header . $req);
     while (!feof($fp)) {
         $res = fgets ($fp, 1024);
        //   
  }
}

yes,the code can send post request but it not always work well.sometimes,it can not go to the specified host(domain) because from the apache error log,i found the apache server route the request to the default server.It was obviously that the script  need to add a host header info.

Source code     
$req = '';
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
    $value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
    $req .= "&$key=$value";
}
 
$post_url = 'www.abcdomain.com';
$header = '';
$header .= "POST /cgi-bin/search HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Host: www.abcdomain.com\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n";
$fp = fsockopen ($post_url, 80, $errno, $errstr, 60);
if (!$fp) {
    //do something
} else {
     fputs ($fp, $header . $req);
     while (!feof($fp)) {
         $res = fgets ($fp, 1024);
        //   
  }
}

it works like a charm!!

PHP — Line break affect how regular expression work

Posted on by

As you know,regular expression is very import in text processing.I had never noticed the “link break” in the regular expression.when i matched my “multiple line” regular expression against the string,i found that the line break in both the regular expression and the string to match will affect the match result.below is the detail.

PCRE(Perl-Compatible Regular Expression) for example,let’s take a close look at two special pattern modifier,below is the explanation from php manual document for both PCRE_MULTILINE and PCRE_DOTALL modifier:

m (PCRE_MULTILINE)
By default, PCRE treats the subject string as consisting of a single “line” of characters (even if it actually contains several newlines). The “start of line” metacharacter (^) matches only at the start of the string, while the “end of line” metacharacter ($) matches only at the end of the string, or before a terminating newline (unless D modifier is set). This is the same as Perl. When this modifier is set, the “start of line” and “end of line” constructs match immediately following or immediately before any newline in the subject string, respectively, as well as at the very start and end. This is equivalent to Perl’s /m modifier. If there are no “\n” characters in a subject string, or no occurrences of ^ or $ in a pattern, setting this modifier has no effect.
s (PCRE_DOTALL)
If this modifier is set, a dot metacharacter in the pattern matches all characters, including newlines. Without it, newlines are excluded. This modifier is equivalent to Perl’s /s modifier. A negative class such as [^a] always matches a newline character, independent of the setting of this modifier.

so regular expression can match multiple line string and it will be affected by m and s pattern modifier.we do not need to define a regular expression in multiple line like this,thought it’s ok in syntax:

$pattern = “/\| Domain: .*$domainstr.*
\| Expired domain: .*
\| Ip: \d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+
\| UserName: .*
\| PassWord: .*
/”;

however,we can rewrite it in this way:

$pattern = “/\| Domain: .*$domainstr.*(\r)?\n(\| Expired domain: .*?(\r)?\n)?\| Ip: \d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+(\s\(n\))?(\r)?\n(\| HasCgi: y(\r)?\n)?\| UserName: .*(\r)?\n\| PassWord: .*/i”;

The line break depends on system.so it will affect the match result.so we need to pay more attention when define the regular expression.

mysql – how to check if table existed with php

Posted on by

One of our zen cart website throw out an error after system crashed.The error message is something as below:

abc.configuration does not exist (abc is the db name)

i logged into mysql console with

mysql -u root -p

then i issue those command in the mysql console

use abc;
show tables;

The configuration table is showed in the result list.When I browse to the phpmyadmin page,i found the configuration is missing.This make me confused.I thought the configuration table may be corrupted.so it’s not shown in phpmyadmin and any sql query on it will result in error.that’s why the zen cart website got 404 error page.

I usually check the table existence with following php function which based upon ‘show table’ query.

function table_exists($link,$db,$table) {

if (empty($table)) {
die('No table name provided to check');
}
$tables = array();
$sql = "SHOW TABLES FROM $db";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $link);

if (!$result) {
echo 'DB Error, could not list tables,' . mysql_error();
exit;
}

while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
$tables[] = $row[0];
}
return in_array('configuration', $tables);
}

it is obviously that the ‘show tables’ query will lead to error when a table is corrupted.so is there better way to check?After some seconds i got solution from google.Below is the php function to check the existence of a table.It worked upon MySQL information(the information_schema database).

function table_exists($tablename, $link, $database = false) {

if(!$database) {
  $res = mysql_query("SELECT DATABASE()", $link);
  $database = mysql_result($res, 0);
}

$res = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = '$database' AND table_name = '$tablename'", $link);

return mysql_result($res, 0) == 1;
}

i thought this would be better way to go.
