  1. PHP Scripting Language CMPE 587 Adv.Network Programming Şeniz Demir, Nurcan Tezcan Boğaziçi University 2001 Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  2. Outline • Definition • Architecture • Features • Database Connection • Security in PHP • Session Tracking • Functions • Conclusion • Resources Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  3. A popular server-side scripting language with extensive DB support. • PHP provides the "glue" to link together: • Web browser,   Webserver, • HTML,   forms,   SQL,   RDBMS • and provide a basis for Web-based database applications. Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  4. Platforms: • UNIX (all variants) • Win32 (NT/W95/W98/W2000) • QNX • MacOS (WebTen) • OSX ,OS/2 ,BeOS Server Interfaces: • Apache module (UNIX,Win32) • CGI/FastCGI • thttpd ,fhttpd , phttpd • ISAPI (IIS, Zeus) • NSAPI (Netscape iPlanet) • Java servlet • AOLServer • Roxen/Caudium module Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  5. Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  6. Features • The PHP language has the following characteristics: • C-like syntax   (more C-like than Perl) • "loose" attitude to types   (determined by context) • very easy to manipulate strings • extensive libraries of functions   (including DB access for most RDBMS) • some attempt at object-orientation   • comments introduced via # or // • PHP programs are typically executed within Web server. Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  7. HTML Embedding PHP <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Search results for "<?php print $query; ?>"</TITLE></HEAD><BODY> Traditional CGI Programming #!/usr/bin/perlprint "<HTML><HEAD>\n";print "<TITLE>Search results for \"$query\"</TITLE>\n";print "</HEAD>\n";print "<BODY>\n"; Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  8. Variables • No variable declarations required; variables created by assignment. • All variable names must be preceded by$ • (eg:   $i,   $i++,   $++i) • Type of variable is set to that of last assigned value. • Can check/set variable type via gettype/settype functions. • Can convert variable value via casting   (e.g.(int), (real), (string), ...) • Default value of unassigned variables is 0  or  ""  or  false. Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  9. Variables (cont) Examples: $foo = 3; # $foo is an int, value 3 $foo = "8"; # $foo is now a string, value "8" $foo = $foo + 2; # $foo is now an int, value 10 $foo = "$foo green bottles"; # $foo is now "10 green bottles" $foo = 3.0 * $foo; # $foo is now double, value 30.0 $foo = (int)$foo; # $foo is now an int, value 30 Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  10. String Interpolation When variables are used inside string, their value is interpolated, after being converted to a suitable string representation (cf. Perl). Example: $a = 1; $b = 3.5; $c = "Hello"; $str = "a:$a, b:$b, c:$c"; // now $str == "a:1, b:3.5, c:Hello" Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  11. Arrays PHP provides both scalar and associative arrays: $word[0]="a"; $word[1]="the"; $word[2]="this"; ... $mark["ann"]=100; $mark["bob"]=50; $mark["col"]=9; ... $vec[]=1; $vec[]=3; $vec[]=5; $vec[]=7; ... Arrays can be initialised in a single statement: $word = array("a", "the", "this", ...); $marks = array("ann"=>100, "bob"=>50, "col"=>9, ...); $vec = array(0 => 1, 1 => 3, 2 => 5, 3 => 9, ...); Multiple-value <SELECT> inputs are passed to PHP as arrays. Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  12. Variable Variables In some contexts (e.g. HTML forms), we may have a collection of variables that can't be represented by an array, but we want to iterate over them ... PHP provides a mechanism to dynamically create variable names. e.g: for ($i = 0; $i < $MAX; $i++) { $varname = "myVar$i"; $value = ${$varname}; print "Value of $varname = $value\n"; } Accesses variables called   myVar0,   myVar1,   myVar2,   myVar3, ... This is not the same as anarray  myVar[0], myVar[1], myVar[2],   myVar[3], ... Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  13. Control Structures Control structures have essentially the same syntax as C/Java. {Statement1; Statement2; ... } if (Expression1) Statement1 [elseif (Expression2) Statement2 ...] [else Statementn] switch (Expression1) {case Value1: Statement1; break; ... [case Value2: Statement2; break; ...] } while (Expression) Statement for (Init; Test; Next) Statement Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  14. Functions Functions are defined as: functionFuncName($arg1,$arg2,, ... ){Statement; ... returnExpression;} Example: // return array of first n integers function iota($n) { for ($i = 1; $i <= $n; $i++) $list[] = $i; return $list; } Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  15. Handling Forms <form action="action.php" method="POST">Your name: <input type=text name=name><br>You age: <input type=text name=age><br><input type=submit></form> Name: Age: action.php Hi <?echo $name?>.  You are <?echo $age?> years old. Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  16. Database Support • SQL • Adabas D • Empress • IBM DB2 • Informix • Ingres • Interbase • Frontbase • mSQL • Direct MS-SQL • MySQL • ODBC • Ovrimos • Oracle (OCI7,OCI8) • PostgreSQL • Raima Velocis • Solid • Sybase • Others • dBase • filePro (read-only) • dbm (ndbm, gdbm, Berkeley db) Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  17. MySQL Functions • mysql_connect (string [server], string [username], string [password]) • $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "secret") • bool mysql_close (resource [link_identifier]) • mysql_close($link) • bool mysql_select_db (string database_name, resource [link_identifier]) • mysql_select_db("mydb",$link) • mysql_query (string query [, resource link_identifier]) • $sql = “SELECT * FROM employees WHERE id=$id” • $result = mysql_query($sql) • array mysql_fetch_array (resource result, int [result_type]) • $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result) • $id = $myrow["id"] Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  18. <html> <body><?php$db = mysql_connect("linus", "root");mysql_select_db("mydb",$db);$sql = "SELECT * FROM employees WHERE id=$id";$result = mysql_query($sql);$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result); ?> <form method="post" > <input type=hidden name="id" value="<?php echo $myrow["id"] ?>"> First name:<input type="Text" name="first" value="<?php echo $myrow["first"] ?>"><br> </form> </ body> </html> Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  19. Encryption/Decryption • include mcrypt library • Four cipher modes • ECB (electronic codebook)/ for random data • CBC (cipher block chaining)/ files • CFB (cipher feedback)/byte streams • OFB (output feedback) /byte streams • block algorithms such as DES, TripleDES, Blowfish (default), 3-WAY, SAFER-SK64, SAFER-SK128, TWOFISH Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  20. <?php $key = "this is a very secret key"; $input = "Let us meet at 9 o'clock at the secret place."; $encrypted_data = mcrypt_ecb(MCRYPT_TripleDES, $key, $input, MCRYPT_ENCRYPT); ?> Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  21. Sessions • preserve data • stored in cookie or propogate through URL • session.auto_start is set to 1/automatic • session_start()/explicit • session_register()/implicit Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  22. Example $pure_session_id = randomString(40) $exact_session_id = userid.$pure_session_id $long_session_id = randomString(100) $long_session_id[47] = $userid[0] $long_session_id[41] = $userid[1] $long_session_id[ind1] = $pure_session_id[ind2] Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  23. Persistent Connection • SQL links that do not close when the execution of your script ends • Higher efficiency • link creation overhead • kind of DB • load of the machine where sql server sits • Connect once and process pages many times Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  24. Connection Handling • Connection status: Normal, Aborted, Timeout • if the client is disconnected abort the script or not? (default: abort) • Terminate the script by the built-in script timer (default:30 seconds) Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  25. Connection Handling Functions • int ignore_user_abort ([int setting]) • int connection_aborted (void ) • set_time_limit() • int connection_timeout (void ) • int register_shutdown_function (string func) • int connection_status (void ) Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  26. Socket Programming • int socket_accept (resource socket) • int socket_bind (resource socket, string address [, int port]) • bool socket_close (resource socket) • int socket_connect (resource socket, string address [, int port]) • ....... Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  27. Function set • FTP functions • IMAP, POP3 functions • Mail functions • Oracle functions • Semaphore and shared memory functions • Network functions • .......... Adv.Network Programming-PHP

  28. Conclusion • A server side scripting language • Easier to develop codes • C-like syntax • Lots of built-in modules and functions Adv.Network Programming-PHP
