long number problem in php 5.2.6

I found an interesting problem with long numbers using php 5.2.6. Yah, the current version of php is 5.3 but some hosting server still using older versions.

my problem was the following:


$integer = 2304200000;
echo $integer; //outputs 2.3042E+09

$float = (float)100000; //float
echo $float; //outputs 1E+05


this gives many weird results in calculation. I have faced this problem and this bug has eaten up a lot of time.So, I am others time regarding the big number problem in php 5.2.6.

If you use number_format or sprintf then you will get the number as aspected.


$integer = 2304200000;
$int = number_format($integer, 0, '.', '');
echo $int; //outputs 2304200000 as expected

$float = (float)100000 //float;
$float = number_format($float, 2, '.', '');
echo $float; //outputs 100000.00 as expected

increasing file upload size in wordpress.

I have faced a problem regarding uploading of big images in wordress. In php 5.2.5, it has change it's configuration file structure. Now it sets access level to it's directives. The levels are 7,4,2,1. And for this access control now we can't modify every configuration settings by ini_set() function in runtime.

Those that have access level 7, can be modified by ini_set() function. And some can be set using .htaccess file. And some need to have admin level access.

If you want to use .htaccess file then you need to paste the following code into you .htaccess file.


php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size 105M
php_value max_execuetion_time 300
php_value memory_limit 64M


you need to set post_max_size to larger size than upload_max_filesize, as there could be multiple upload field in a form.

Now, while you are using .htaccess file, the server may not support the directive changing command that you are trying to modify. I mean your server need to have AllowOverride property On for the specific directive that you are trying to modify. you need to contact with your hosting server support.

There is another way, you can create a php.ini file with the configuration directive that you want to change. For image uploading in wordpress, you can create the following php.ini file.


;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

upload_max_filesize = 100M;
post_max_size = 105M;
max_execution_time = 300;

;End:


you need to place it under the wp-admin folder.

Api for XML

There are various api for accessing xml documents. They are the following-

  • Stream oriented api: Simple api for xml or SAX, it is event based.
  • Tree traversal api: Dom is a tree-traversal api. DOM implementation is memory intensive, as it loads the whole xml tree before accessing data.
  • Xml data binding: which is a automated way to convert XML document.
  • Declarative transformation languages: XSLT, XQuery.

Introduction to JSON

JSON means javascript object notation. JSON is lightweight and very easy to parse.
It is not a markup language. The basis of JSON is that javascript’s object literal
is the ideal way for transmitting object oriented data across the network. Json made it easier to produce distributed object and applications. JSON does not support octal or hex characters. The character encoding of json is always Unicode. Json is the preferred way for ajax applications. A response text can be converted to javascript with eval() function. json's values can be used directly, no convertiion needed. this is the most significant reason to use json. json has no namespaces so there is no nesting and it uses context. JSON doesn't have any validator.

Why should I use static variable?

Let’s see the difference between static and non-static variable:
Static is used for those method and variables which are accessed from other classes or functions also. If we use non-static, then we need to instantiate the class each time to use that methods or variables. Static variable has it’s scope until the script ends, whereas a non-static variable lost it’s value when it’s scope ends.

OOP vs procedural

OOP provides ways for extensible application. this approach removes the drawbacks of procedural paradigm. it gives first priority to data. it packs data and functions, which have access to this functions. this avoids unauthorized access to functions. So, OOP gives us ability of reuse, inheritence, access modifier.

procedural provides ways for fast, shortcut approach for programming. so, before coding we must think what we want to do. if we want a small coding to do a small job, then we must go for procedural approach. But as the requirements grew, it was seen that the programs were getting larger and larger and it became difficult to debug. So functions were introduced to reduce the size of the programs and improve readability in them. Still that was not enough. In this approach, data is getting corrupted, as many functions which are not allowed to access the function can access the functions. so, here more focus was given on functions, rather than data.

Problem with normal and session variable having same name

If your register_globals is set to ON, then a normal variable will overwrite a session variable with the same name. In webid, I faced this problem. It's not a good practice to turn ON register_globals. So, turn it Off it will fix the problem with same variable name.

xml vs database

XML can be used as databases. But the question is that why should I use it or why should I avoid it? XML has the properties of storage, portability, schemas. Xml is self describing means the elements, attributes tells what the data it contains. It also describes data in tree or graph structure.
Xml provides many qualities of databases.
1. Storage: Xml documents.
2. Schemas: DTDs, Xml schemas.
3. Query languages: Xpath, Xquery.
4. Programming interfaces: SAX, DOM.
And it also lacks some of the cool features of databases.
1. Security.
2. Integrity.
3. Indexes.
4. Transaction.
5. Efficient storage.
6. Multi user access.
7. Triggers.
8. Queries across multiple documents.
So, xml can be used as a database for few users, small amount of data. But for product environment where there will larger data, huge user, need data integrity, there needs databases. So, there is very little advantage to use xml as a database.

.htaccess intro

.htaccess files are used to modify server configuration on per-directory basis. It is used when a user doesn’t has access to modify server configuration settings. The directives in .htaccess file is applied for the current directory and subdirectories. .htaccess uses those directives that has their AllowOverride property set to not none.

If we can, we should avoid using .htaccess file mainly for the following 2 reasons –
1. When we set AllowOverride property to allow modification in .htaccess files, then the server checks every directory for .htaccess file. This hit the performance.
2. Second one is security. We are allowing users to change server configuration. So, it may become a security hole.

minify js and css

We can minify javascript and css, so the loading of these files will be faster. There are two popular tools: jsmin and YUI compression. YUI compression can compress CSS files also. Minify will reduce size upto 25% of it size. We can use minify after gzip, it will reduce the size upto 5%. Minify removes redundant contents.

Reduce DNS lookups

Each DNS will be converted to IP address. Server will wait until the conversion completes. DNS lookup takes 20-100 miliseconds. The DNS is cached for later use. Firefox uses 1 min, IE uses 30 min for the dns caching. This caching is done on a special caching server. Each browser has a own DNS cache. It also stores the information on the operating systems cache.
Reducing DNS lookup cuts response time, but also reduces parallel downloading so increases response time. We can use upto 4 hostnames which will increase our speed.

Use external files for javascript and css

Using external files for javascript and css will reduce the file size without increasing the number of http requests. But we can use inline code for home page which has less page views. So, we can use caching for those pages which reuses same scripts and stylesheets.

There are some files which are common on homepage and other pages. For that case, we can load inline codes for homepage and then we can load those scripts by external files.

CSS expressions

CSS expressions use javascripts. And the page is evaluated for scrolling or even mouse moving. We avoid expressions as they create many evaluation to the page. So, if we need to use expressions we must use one-time loading.

Put scripts at the bottom

According to the http/1.1 a page can download no more than 2 scripts at a time. While a script is downloading, however, the browser won't start any other downloads, even on different hostnames.

Sometime, we can’t put scripts at the bottom. When the scripts load some content that will be used in the middle of the page, then we need to call the script early. We can use DEFER attribute which shows the script does not contain document.write. but firefox doesn’t support this attribute.

Loading stylesheets on top

Always include stylesheets in the head tag. This will load the page faster. Users want to see their pages faster. So, for this purposes, the loading image is getting popular. So, if we set the stylesheets in the head tag, then the images, banner, header will load faster and will give the user an impression of page loading. If we place the stylesheet at the bottom, then it may show a blank page for some time in some browser like internet explorer.

Gzip contents

Web content size can be reduced by gziping them. If we set accept-encoding to gzip or any other compression techniques, then the web server responses with the content-encoding header that tells the browser to compress the web content.
We can’t compress images and pdf files as they are already compressed. By compressing these may increase web content size.

Cache control

For caching features, we can use two techniques-
1. For static contents, we can set the expire attribute to a furthest future.
2. For dynamic contents, we can set an appropriate cache-control.
For static contents, like images, stylesheet, flash etc, can be cached in the browser for faster page load. This will reduce http request time. This will not effect for the first time the page loads, but the result will be at later page requests when the cache will be full.

// class name must be same with the modulename, not case sensitive.

class Fashion extends Module
{
function __construct()
{
$this->name = 'fashion'; // this is the name of the module
$this->tab = 'Blocks';
$this->version = 1.0;

parent::__construct(); // The parent construct is required for translations

$this->page = basename(__FILE__, '.php');
$this->displayName = $this->l('Block Fashion');
$this->description = $this->l('Add a fashion block');
}

function install()
{
if (!parent::install())
return false;
if (!$this->registerHook('leftColumn')) // we are setting this module with the left column.
return false;
return true;
}

/**
* Returns module content
*
* @param array $params Parameters
* @return string Content
*/
// as we are setting this module on left column, we are using this hook to load our module.
function hookLeftColumn($params)
{

running php by command line

php 4.3.0 have CLI(command line interface) On by default. Today I am going to say about how to run php by command line in windows.

First of all you need to go to the php folder in your xampp by cmd. If you use svn, then you will have an error saying "Unable to load dynamic library 'E:/xampp/php/ext/php_svn.dll'- the specified module could not be found".

To solve this problem, you need to copy to following files from Apache/bin/ to php/ :

libdb43.dll
intl3_svn.dll
libapr.dll
libapriconv.dll
libaprutil.dll

These will solve the above problem.

Now to execute a php file write the command: php address_of_the_file_to_run(for example E:/xampp/htdocs/tab.php)

you can pass arguments in the command line.And one the server side, you can fetch the argument by the $argv variable, the first element is always the filename that is executing.

class constructor in php 5

In php 5, the __construct is the constructor of a class and __destruct is the destructor of the class.previously, in php 4 we are using the class name as a function as constructor of a class.let's see zend mock questions regarding this.


Question: When migrating the following code from PHP 4 to PHP 5, what should be changed?

_doSomething($param);
}

// Private method to MyClass
function _doSomething($param) {
/* Do something with $param */
}
}

class AnotherClass extends MyClass {

var $param = "foo";

function AnotherClass() {
parent::MyClass($this->param);
}
}

?>


Answer:

1. Access modifiers should be added to methods
If no access modifier is present, it treats the variable or method like public.
2. The Constructors for the objects should both be renamed to __construct
3. The use of the parent keyword has changed to 'super'
4. Constructors must have the same parameter lists

reassigning this in php 5

In php 5 you can't assign a variable to $this. It will produce a fatal error.

Question: What is wrong with the following code valid in PHP 4 but invalid in PHP 5?

reassign($b);

?>

Answer:

1. Reassigning $this in PHP 5 throws a fatal error
2. It is missing access restrictions (public,private,protected) required in PHP 5
3. Classes need to implement the OverLoad interface for this behavior in PHP 5
4. $b is now an object handle and the reassign() method needs to be declared pass-by-reference

ZEND MOCK TEST PREPARATION: comparison in php

php provides many ways to compare 2 variables. == operator doesn't check the type of the operands. it just compare the 2 operands with matching the type. === operator checks for the types of the operands also. If a string contains any numbers before having any characters in it like "1time", then === operator matches it with integer value "1". Any string without initial number are treated as 0 when converted to integer. let's see a zend mock question for php 5 certification.


Question: Which of the following comparisons will evaluate to true?

Answer:

1. 't' == t
2. 1 === "1time"
3. "top" == 0
4. "top" === 0
5. 1 == "1time"

short introduction to jmeter

Now let’s see how the process to install jmeter. You can download it from http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/index.html. You need Java 4 or newer to run jmeter. After unzipping click the jmeter.bat under bin folder.

1. First of all, by right clicking on the workbench we can add a HTTP proxy server.
2. Set the proxy server of the browser to localhost and the port to 8080.
3. Start the HTTP proxy server and reload the site that u want to test on your browser. You will see the changes in the jmeter. By clicking them, you will see the header sent for them. On clicking the header, you will see the header information. By click the page, you can edit the http data for the request. After loading the page, you need to stop the server.
4. Now we will make a test plan. We will make a thread group first by right clicking on it. In the thread group , you will see thread properties. Number of thread means the number of users that will try to see your site. Ramp-up period means the time interval between two successive users. If you set 0,this means the users access at the same time. Loop count is how many times the test will run.
5. Now we will add those section that we want to test. Right click on the section, that show site address without hostname. Select copy and paste it in thread group.
6. Now we will add some listener to see the test result. There are lots of listeners . I use graph result, monitor result, simple data writer, spine visualizer, summary report, view results in table, view results tree. I will explain the different uses of these listener later on.

unit test in software development.

Regression testing is performed after the software quality assurance team has done their work perfectly. And of course, after the developers have done the unit testing which means testing a class independently in object oriented environment or a procedure or method in procedural environment. Unit test is used to test whether an independent piece of code is working properly and if an error occurs, a developer can easily identify the problem. This kind of testing is very helpful. It follows the bottom-up approach of testing that means first checking the smallest chunk of code independently and then check with other parts integrated. Unit test case can be made with the available UML tool these can be found as an extension to an IDE. With the unit-test design method, the tests will never pass if the developer does not implement the solution according to the design. To obtain the fruit of unit testing, the software process must follow the steps of software development.

regression testing with jmeter.

Jmeter is a regression testing tool. Software regression means a software bug that makes a feature stop which was working correctly earlier. Sometimes a feature gets too much slow or uses too much memory. Regressions are generally caused due to encompassed bugs. Encompassed bugs are not a bug but a side effect of some critical issues. So, to handle these bugs we need to have some test plan. Software regression mainly occurs for one of the following three reasons. They are-
1. Local – a change introduces a new bug that was not before.
2. Remote – a change in one part of the software that introduces a new bug in other parts.
3. Unmasked – a change unmasks an already existing bug that was not there before.
So, regression tests composed of tests which will check the effectiveness of the site. These things are tested using Jmeter. Jmeter tests a site by running a site concurrently for several times.

file access in php security.

In php we have doc_root,user_dir and open_basedir option to control file access using php.If we Specify the doc_root,then every request for opening a file will be checked against the doc_root.If it is not under the doc_root, the request is discarded.Another one is user_dir. user_dir is used with respect to doc_root.If a user_dir is specified then a request is checked whether the file is in the doc_root and then is it in the user_dir. open_basedir controls which files will be opened using php. we must use a trailing slash after the file name to be more secure.

Testing with jmeter

We can test a site's performance using jmeter. Though we can get the same functionality by firebug, but firebug shows the statistics for only one request, where jmeter shows for several users.

To use jmeter first you need to download the latest version from the web. Your need java 4 or latter to be installed in your machine to install jmeter. You need jre also. You have to set the path of jre as the system variable. After unziping the folder, click the jmeter.bat under bin folder. It will open the jmeter. Under the workbench, create proxy http server by right clicking it.You have to change the proxy settings of the browser by going to tools, then options, choose manual proxy settings.Enter localhost and port is 8080. Then restart the website that you want to test. you will see some changes in the jmeter window. Now under test plan , create thread group by right clicking. Then from the listed enteries of the testing site, only copy the section that is for the page, don't take any image,js, css files, that will make huge load for ur testing. Now add some listeners. you can add graph,summary result etc to see the results. And under the thread group, change the number of users to 100 or the number u want to test. This shows the number of users that are concurrently accessing the site.

You can view the result in the listeners. If you want to make another test, just clear all the results.

With DOM (document object model), we can add or remove a node in xml with DOM. DOM comes up with many powerful features. Let see the question now for preparation of ZEND certification test. The bold options are the answers. You can give your opinion about the answers.
Question: What should go in the missing line ????? below to produce the output shown?

$array_one = array(1,2,3,4,5);
$array_two = array('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E');

???????

print_r($array_three);

Result:

Array
(
[5] => A
[4] => B
[3] => C
[2] => D
[1] => E
)

a. $array_three = array_merge(array_reverse($array_one), $array_two);
b. $array_three = array_combine($array_one, $array_two);
c. $array_three = array_combine(array_reverse($array_one), $array_two);
This is the right answer.The array_combine function takes 2 arguments. One is keys and other is values. If the length of the arrays are not match or the array is empty , then E_WARNING is thrown.

d. $array_three = array_merge(array_reverse($array_one), $array_two);
e. $array_three = array_combine($array_one, $array_two);

Web Security in php programming

Security section is very import for web development. Every user get scared if his data is looted from the websites. There are many issues which are related to web security. That’s why we are so concerned with web security.
To protect our web application, the first thing is never trust any input. We must escape every inputs properly. Php comes with many escape functions .For input escaping , htmlentities() function converts all applicable characters to HTML entities. It has 4 parameters. The first arguments takes the string to escape. The second argument is the quote style. There are 3 types of styles:
1. ENT_COMPAT: this will convert double quotes and leaves the single quotes.
2. ENT_QUOTES: this will convert both single and double quotes.
3. ENT_NOQUOUTES: this will leave both single and double quotes.
The third parameter is the charset. The default is ISO-8859-1 and the fourth parameter is double_encodes. If it is set to off , then php will not encode existing html entities, the default is On.
There is a similar function called htmlspecialchars() with the exception is that htmlentities convert all characters and htmlspecialchars encodes only special characters.
The translations performed are:
• '&' (ampersand) becomes '&'
• '"' (double quote) becomes '"' when ENT_NOQUOTES is not set.
• ''' (single quote) becomes ''' only when ENT_QUOTES is set.
• '<' (less than) becomes '<'
• '>' (greater than) becomes '>'
This function has the same 4 parameters of htmlentities. These 2 function uses the html translation table. We can find with the function get_html_translation_table.
$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
$str = "Hallo & & Krämer";
$encoded = strtr($str, $trans);

echo $encoded;
?>
We can decode the encoded string with respective decode functions : html_entity_decode and htmlspecialchars_decode .

The functions urlencode and rawurlencode is used for encoding data on the url. This helps to hide any important data from possible attackers. The difference between these 2 is that the first function converts spaces into ‘+’ sign. Urldecode and rawurldecode decodes the encoded data. The encoded data in $_GET and $_REQUEST method automatically decodes data.

Filtering data:
So, We must filter any input data before use. There are 2 approaches .
1. Blacklist approach: In this approach, we assume every thing is secure except the some given listed data. If any input matches the given data, we will treat is as tainted.
2. Whitelist approach: This approach assumes that all are tainted except some given data. If a data matches this given data, then we can say this data is safe to proceed.
We can use ctype_* and is_* functions for filtering inputs. These functions check whether the given data is our required data type.
if (ctype_alpha($_POST[’username’]))
{
$clean[’username’] = $_POST[’username’];
}
if (ctype_alnum($_POST[’password’]))
{
$clean[’password’] = $_POST[’password’];
}
$colours = array(’Red’, ’Blue’, ’Yellow’, ’Green’);
if (in_array($_POST[’colour’], $colours))
{
$clean[’colour’] = $_POST[’colour’];
}
Here we are checking the input data whether they are of specified type. Sometimes client-side javascript validation is not necessary for filtering, as there is one security issue called ‘spoofed form’. We will talk about this later. So, we must not rely on client-side javascript. We need to use server side filtering also.

This is not all about web security in php world. We will focus on the rest later on.
