(LinuxWorld) — One of my non-profit Web sites, VarLinux.org, ran on my
modified version of the PHP-Nuke weblog package from the site's inception in
March 2001 until late November 2002. I chose PHP-Nuke as a starting point
because I was very impressed with it. However, the more I learned how to use
PHP, the more I realized that PHP-Nuke was not only a tangled mess but that I
had made it even worse with my modifications. A year later, I was faced with
the fact that VarLinux.org was not only lame because it was based on
PHP-Nuke, it was also showing its age. It lacked features of other weblogs,
and still lacked many of the features I had intended to add to the site.
If I were going to fix the code, the first thing I would do would be to make
it an object-oriented system. I toyed with the idea of converting my code
into OOP-based code, but I concluded that if the P... (more)

What could you do with your code in 20 Lines or Less? That's the question I
ask (almost) every week for the devcentral community, and every week I go
looking to find cool new examples that show just how flexible and powerful
iRules can be without getting in over your head.
Here are a few more cool iRules from the forums. This week I’ve included
one of the simplest, shortest iRules to ever make the 20LoL. It just struck
me as something quite useful that I’m willing to bet several people will
look at and say “oh, that’s handy” despite the fact that it’s not
complex or long.
Keep the code coming.

The major breakthrough in Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 is visual authoring with
XML data. You can now perform both client-side and server-side XSL
transformations in a snap. I covered XML syntax in one of my previous
articles. I also presented the XSL syntax and covered the differences between
a server-side and a client-side transformation in my article, XSL Overview.
Finally, in the article, Consuming a Remote RSS Feed with Dreamweaver 8, I
show you how to consume a remote feed in your site, using the XSL
Transformation server behavior in Dreamweaver 8.
This article explains how to install and configure XML and XSL support for
your web server, in order to be able to perform server-side XSL
transformations. The article covers the configuration of PHP application
servers - versions 4 and 5 - for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux operating
systems.
In a server-side XSL tran... (more)

(LinuxWorld) -- In the face of a slowing economy, it is increasingly
difficult to justify spending any time working on my non-profit site
VarLinux.org. I posted a notice stating there will be no further progress.
Yet even after making it "official," I can't seem to stop myself from working
on the site. Perhaps I have some secret hope it will blossom into a
successful project that makes money instead of sucking the food out of my
children's mouths. Or perhaps I find it therapeutic in these trying times.
Regardless, working on this site continues to be educational, particularly in
when it comes to learning from my mistakes. (Whenever I think of that
expression, I am reminded of the Peanuts strip where Charlie Brown says
something along the lines of, "If it is true that you really learn from your
mistakes, that makes me the smartest person in the world.")
I chronicle ... (more)
(LinuxWorld) -- If you follow the latest security bulletins, you noticed
someone discovered a huge security hole in the PHP-based weblog software
PHP-Nuke. I mention this because I've been learning PHP the hard way by
modifying the PHP-Nuke source code, since my two non-profit sites
VarLinux.org and Petreley.org are based on PHP-Nuke. I used the 4.4.1a
version of the source code, but it looks to me like the security hole may
still exist in the latest version.
The problem exists in the admin.php file. This part of the program
authenticates you as an administrator before it lets you run most privileged
functions. There's a snippet of code outside of the security check that lets
you upload a file. If you're clever enough to form the proper URL, you can
trick PHP-Nuke into uploading its own PHP-Nuke configuration file as a text
file. Then you can view the text file to... (more)
