A Note on Security in PHP

A Note on Security in PHP

From PHP.NET::::

PHP is a powerful and flexible tool. This power and flexibility comes from PHP being a very thin framework sitting on top of dozens of distinct 3rd-party libraries. Each of these libraries have their own unique input data characteristics. Data that may be safe to pass to one library may not be safe to pass to another.

A recent Web Worm known as NeverEverSanity exposed a mistake in the input validation in the popular phpBB message board application. Their highlighting code didn’t account for double-urlencoded input correctly.…

A New Linux Business Model

A New Linux Business Model

Open Source Unix like operating systems have become leaders in the world servers, and initiatives such as the W3C have delivered the de facto standards for the web, individual and corporate users continue to give out large sums for proprietary software.

Corporations producing and selling proprietary operating systems and applications software are effectively tapping huge markets and making super profits, while the Open Source Community seems to be picking up crumbs, for the most part.

Corporate members of the Open Source Community, with some notable exceptions such as IBM, are often struggling to break even or are funded by a combination of risk capital and grants; not a good basis for a business in the long run.…

PHP and .NET

PHP and .NET

Some days ago my boss Mr. Nilesh Saxena, told me about a project. Feature list and details were very fine and at first sight I decide to do it myself.
But a problem arise as application was to be developed for desktop not for web. Some obivious options were Java, .NET and PHP. We ruled out JAVA due to possible a compatibility issue with the API we were supposed to use in that application.

PHP is web developement langauge so it was also ruled out.…

The telecom/internet service providers and online auctioneers must understand there responsibility in such cases. Meanwhile, it is high time for the specifications standardization bodies (ITU/3GPP/ETSI/), telecom equipment manufactures and the law enforcement agencies to think in the direction to save society values and moral ethics.

After Year 2000 problem…..?

After Year 2000 problem…..?

Topic may seem very old as year 2000 has passed and all computers are now year 2000 ready.

But before you can take rest here is the list of some other problems:-

Most programs written in the C programming language are relatively immune to the Y2K problem, but suffer instead from the Year 2038 problem. Unix Time stamp will expire on that day as well.
IBM PC hardware suffers from the Year 2116 problem. For a PC, the beginning of time starts at January 1, 1980, and increments by seconds.…

Linux Days are here again !!!

Linux Days are here again !!!

No, I have not any latest news about the infamous linux legal battle.

I am just talking about my return to linux after a gap of around six months. Yesterday I installed linux on the machine I use at work.

If Suggested By Nata

If Suggested By Nata

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;

If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breath a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on !”;…
