I have a php page that needs to make a system() call to a perl app. I
need to send user-entered search terms as parameters to the perl app,
and then capture the output from perl, do some light processing on it,
and then embed that into the php page.
I know how to do it, but this is not a controlled environment like a
LAN or a personal PC, so I am very paranoid about the risks of making
the system() call with user-supplied input. I know I will need to
shellescapearg( ) the user-input. Are there any other checks you would
recommend? Perhaps checks against the length of the user-input?
ctype_alnum()? Anything else I'm not thinking of?

You have to think on how the perl script uses the info users send, you
should use also make a preg_match so that the input text contain only
valid characters and numbers, [a...z], [A...Z], [0...9]! Also i
presumed you are concerned so that user won't send multiple commands
on that line to the bash, i think by doing the preg_match you will
eliminate this option!

I tried all the INFORMATION_SCHEMA on SQL 2000 and
I see that the system tables hold pretty much everything I am
interested in: Objects names (columns, functions, stored procedures, ...)
stored procedure statements in syscomments table.
My questions are:
If you script your whole database everything you end up having
in the text sql scripts, are those also located in the system tables?
That means i could simply read those system tables...

Hello,
I'm working on a project that uses over a hundred XLSs for transforming xml
documents. The project consists of several webservices (IIS) calling a few
dlls. This dlls make the business logic and are the ones that do the
transformation, so the XLSs are used by these dlls. Right now we have the
XSLs files on hard disk. This means there is lots of reading from disk. Since
reading from disk is much slower than reading from memory I am...

I'm trying to use the VS 2005 March Tech Preview and am trying to adjust
some MC++ to the new C++/CLI syntax. I got a little hung up when I
encountered the below error. Certainly my 'Bentley::Mstn::Element' type
derives ultimately from System::Object. It is a ref class. And upcasting is
always implicit right? So I don't understand why I'm getting this error.
It's happening on my get method:

Hi,
Does System.Collections.Generic.Queue not have a Synchronized
method because it is already in effect synchronized, or is the
Synchronized functionality missing from
System.Collections.Generic.Queue? Putting it another way can I
safely replace a
System.Collections.Queue.Synchronized(myUnSynchronizedQueue) with a
System.Collections.Generic.Queue while porting a working 2003 project?
Thanks,

Hello, Everyone
We have 5 developers here using C#, developing Windows Forms apps and

Is Team System any good?
Sound like it wraps all the little pieces together nice, (Unit testing,

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
