@TimStone - Is there something wrong with this line:
$filteredData[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($value);
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
I don't see anything obvious.
 
Moshe
Moshe
Hrm...
I've diagnosed that PHP does get the values.
I have one array of values and I loop through them to escape them.
Then I put them into the second array
@TimStone - How about this one:
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
Weren't you going to use PDO or some other database abstraction layer, by the way?
 
Moshe
Moshe
$filteredData = array();
Was, but this is simpler.
It works on localhost.
@TimStone I was going to use Doctrine but I couldn't get it working.
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
I'm not sure that simpler is the way to go here given what you're writing this for, but I'll just look the other way on this one...Anyway, there's nothing wrong with that. What does your query statement look like?
 
Moshe
Moshe
6:07 AM
Hang on.
@TimStone:
INSERT INTO raffle_entries (first_name, last_name, address, city, state, zip, phone, email, tickets, pledge, cardholder, carrier, num, solicitor, expiry, timestamp) VALUES ('', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '5ZGsb8udRryOQZy2Gotg/fLTVTs2VhjuwtLZ5VVnL34zjc7UHq+DT+PxuDZ+biH+n8DeWCAbM3w=', '', '', NOW())
It's not getting the values properly, except for one, which is explicitly set.
So I'm not copying my data over to the filtered array, apparently.
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
Oh, this is the generated query.
 
Moshe
Moshe
Yes, it is.
I do this: 
foreach($unfilteredData as $key => $value){

	// add escaped data to filtered array
	$filteredData[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($value);

}
to copy the data over from the original array, which I've confirmed to contain the information.
Now, the CC information is encoded and then add with an explicit key, and it seems to get inserted. 
$filteredData['ccNumber'] = $e->encrypt($filteredData['ccNumber'], $key);
$filteredData['ccNumber'] = base64_encode($filteredData['ccNumber']);
And that shows up in the query.
What confuses me is why this works on localhost...
(removed)
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
And what's the code that actually generates the query?
 
Moshe
Moshe
foreach($filteredData as $key => $value){
$values = $values . "'". $value ."', ";
}

//Add a MySQL timestamp to the values string
$values = $values . 'NOW()';

echo "<br /><h3>Values: " . $values . "</h3><br />";

//Build the query
$query = "INSERT INTO " . $table_name . " (". $fields . ") VALUES (" . $values . ") ";
The query works on localhost.
Could the mysql_real_escape function be disabled on my server, returning an empty value?
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
6:25 AM
And what's the PHP version on the server?
 
Moshe
Moshe
Er, not sure.
Hang on.
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
No, if the function is undefined it'll just die on you.
 
Moshe
Moshe
@TimStone It's version 5.2.13
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
Hm, I dunno then. I'd print_r($unfilteredData) and print_r($filteredData) and see what you get.
 
Moshe
Moshe
@TimStone then it dies
No return, error message or anything.
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
6:32 AM
Err
 
Moshe
Moshe
Could this be relevant?
unset($unfilteredData['expireMonth']);
unset($unfilteredData['expireYear']);
Got it!!!
\O/
\O? -> \O/
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
What was it?
 
Moshe
Moshe
I called mysql_real_escape_string($value); before connecting to the database.
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
Oh...I was going to ask about that, but it's supposed to generate an E_WARNING in that case.
 
Moshe
Moshe
I just remembered @TheOutOfStarsException telling me that that function causes MySQL to escape the content.
And then I saw that the connection was opened later.
It worked on localhost though... strange.
See, as an iOS dev, I'm used to using as little resources as possible, lazy loading etc.
I left the connection until after the query was built, but then it wouldn't be able to do the escaping...
 
Tim Stone

@balpha For all zero neighborhoods of the non-existant boundary the property would be valid, so it'd be boundless and relatively finite?
I haven't studied topology really :P
(A for all statement is true by default if the "selector" doesn't "match" anything)
 
balpha

well, first of all, every topological space is boundless (is that even a word?)

but you said boundless = finite |:
 
balpha
balpha
boundary (in the topological sense) and bound (with regard to sequences or metric spaces) have nothing to do with each other
e.g. the open interval (0, 1) in the real line has the boundary {0, 1}, but it has no boundary if the interval itself is the whole space

badp → → Here's how the mothership could look like when firing its lazers. To compensate for the brightness of the sheer lazers our mothership is equipped with, the remainder of the page should dampen by 90%. This is unfortunate, for the lazers look best against the scanlined effect.

s/lazer/laser/ it's an acronym
Laser
A laser is a device that emits light (electromagnetic radiation) through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of photons. The term "laser" originated as an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. The emitted laser light is notable for its high degree of spatial and temporal coherence, unattainable using other technologies. Spatial coherence typically is expressed through the output being a narrow beam which is diffraction-limited, often a so-called "pencil beam." Laser beams can be focused to very tiny spots, achieving a very...

@Nyuszika7H With C# there's too much to remember so I have to have something with Intellisense etc. We've got 4 (yes four) A0 posters on the wall at work with the .NET 2.0 class libraries. .NET 4 has to be twice the size.

@RebeccaChernoff You've got to sign in
@Nyuszika7H I think that's the right term - where the IDE gives you the list of what can come next. So you type in a class name (say) and then it gives you the list of methods, properties & events etc.
IntelliSense
IntelliSense is Microsoft's implementation of autocompletion, best known for its use in the Microsoft Visual Studio integrated development environment. In addition to completing the symbol names the programmer is typing, IntelliSense serves as documentation and disambiguation for variable names, functions and methods using reflection. Overview Similar to other autocompletion systems, IntelliSense is a convenient way to access descriptions of functions, particularly their parameter lists. It speeds up software development by reducing the amount of name memorization needed and keyboard in...
Autocomplete
Autocomplete is a feature provided by many web browsers, e-mail programs, search engine interfaces, source code editors, database query tools, word processors, and command line interpreters. Autocomplete involves the program predicting a word or phrase that the user wants to type in without the user actually typing it in completely. This feature is effective when it is easy to predict the word being typed based on those already typed, such as when there are a limited number of possible or commonly used words (as is the case with e-mail programs, web browsers, or command line interpreters),...

Huh, it looked like it was regular user/pass when I looked.
But I figured I'd be lazy and see if I could crowdsource q:

@RebeccaChernoff It is, but there's a Facebook sign in too.
I've done a few. No idea how to get it to read Stack Exchange rather than Stack Overflow though
Can someone check if my edits have "stuck"?

@Garrett I don't think so but… answers.onstartups.com isn't on stackexchange.com, even though it's a SE site (not an 1.0 site)

The reason I asked is for my company - I'm an IT pro and I want to find an issue tracking software that will smartly suggest KB items based on your ticket at creation time

@ChrisF wait, I do see it now…

Hm, maybe I'm only seeing your first edit if you say you mentioned the whole network. Will check back, there seems to be a delay...

Anyone want to sanity check an implementation for me? I'm trying to set a parity bit for every 8 bits (the 1 bit in each byte):

$parts = str_split($stub, 1);
        $new = '';
        foreach ($parts as $part) {
            //Compute Parity
            $set = 0;
            for ($i = 1; $i < 8; $i++) {
                if ($part & (1<<$i)) $set++;
            }
            $result = $set % 2;
            if ($result == 1) {
                $part = $part | 1;
            } else {
                $part = $part & 254;
            }
            $new .= $part;

just wondering what defines a "large organization" for Stack Exchange Enterprise

@ChrisF Hmm, I seem to be able to edit the title, the picture and the URL, too.

@Nyuszika7H I saw that after I posted that I couldn't ;) However I didn't think it polite to edit the title, but that's just me.

@ChrisF I changed the identity system to OpenID, since it seems that you can't register without an OpenID.
