As far as ORM goes, Symfony now also supports the Doctrine ORM. I was turned off by all the XML configuration and code generation involved with using Symfony and Propel. I prefer Doctrine because it is easier to get set up and configured. Here is a link to Symfony's comparison of Propel and Doctrine. http://trac.symfony-project.org/wiki/ComparingPropelAndDoctrine If you are looking for a lightweight ORM you could use something like CoughPHP http://coughphp.com/ or the Zend Framework offers Zend_Db_Table which really isn't an ORM but implements the Table Data Gateway pattern which is similar to the Active Record pattern that many ORMs use. I would suggest taking a look at Zend Framework. You may find it lacking in the model/ORM area but there are many tutorials on how to use Doctrine with Zend Framework to provide a more full featured Model layer. I've recently been playing with the Dojo widgets that are a part of the Dojo JavaScript framework that are integrated into Zend Framework. Unrelated to this I thought I would mention that everybody should check out stackoverflow.com. If you haven't heard of it yet, it is a programming Q&A site started by Jeff Atwood of the codinghorror.com blog and Joel Spolsky from the joelonsoftware.com blog. I've had good luck with getting answers to questions and also had fun answering other questions.

I installed the newer version on my desktop computer at work, reconfigured everything to get it working, and then was told could not do the upgrade on the server. So, I had to roll everything on my local machine back to the older version (fortunately, I made backups). I think I'll be allowed to do the upgrade soon, but I'm not sure. Nevertheless, I'd love to see some demos of other software. I'll check out these web sites to get started.

They suggest using the suhosin hardened PHP patch, and using the suhosin.multiheader set to Off, which will not allow CR's in any http headers or email headers. See: http://www.hardened-php.net/suhosin/ Many distros have suhosin packages available (Ubuntu and Mandriva do). RHEL and CentOS don't, so you get to compile php from source if you want to use it. -dc Barry Von Ahsen wrote: > one of my contact forms was being used to spam via php mail injection, > I thought the group may benefit from the knowledge/solution > > this is the page everyone else links to about the subject: > http://securephp.damonkohler.com/index.php/Email_Injection > > basically, anywhere you pass form variables to be used in the header of > mail() [e.g. from or subject], you can pass line feeds to the form, and > insert your own headers like so: > > $_POST['from'] = "spammer@scumbag.com\n bcc: unlucky1@recipient.com, > unlucky2@adslfkj.com, \n lemme tell ya bout these blue pills..." > > anyhow, here is an easy function to sanitize your fields - it just > strips out all line feeds from the post vars.
