set rst (reStructuredText) filetype in vim - php

I am reading book/documentation in Vim written in rst (reStructuredText) format. Book is about PHP, so it is full of code. If I manually set filetype to PHP, code has syntax highlight.
set ft=php
But if place this line in my .vimrc, filetype is reckognized by vim, but there is no code syntax highlighting.
au BufRead,BufNewFile,FileType *.rst set ft=php
Anybody knows how to fix that ?
Thanks

Redirecting all reStructuredText files to show up as PHP looks wrong. Instead of messing with the filetype detection, I would rather explicitly specify the filetype:
:edit +setf\ php phpbook.rst
If there are several files, and this is permanent, I'd configure this path-based:
:autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile /path/to/dir/*.rst setf php
Alternatively, you can use one of the local vimrc plugins; there are several on vim.org; I can recommend the localrc plugin, which even allows local filetype-specific configuration.
Alternative
With my SyntaxRange plugin, you can keep the default reStructuredText syntax, and only mark the PHP snippet sections as PHP:
:12,42SyntaxInclude php
If the sections are delimited by certain patterns, this can even be automated.

PHP - file_put_contents file manipulation

I'm trying to write a PHP file on a server and to bypass the extension in the end.
This is the PHP file - 1.php:
<?php
file_put_contents("folder\\".$GET['file'].".PNG",$_GET['content']);
?>
I'm trying to bypass the PNG extension and to write a PHP file.
like this:
1.php?file=attack.php%00&content=blabla
but it's not working
I tried:
Null char (%00,%u0000)
Long filename
CRLF chars
space char
?,&,|,>,<,(,),{,},[,],\,!,~,:,; chars
backspace char
../
php protocol
php://filter/write=convert.base64-decode/resource=1.php
(will not work because the folder in the begging)
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks!
There are several fundamental problems here;
This code is very unsafe, I could set get as ../../1.php and overwrite this file to do whatever I want. It appears that you're doing some security testing however, so I guess that may be the problem
php is not a protocal, it's a language so php://anything should not work.
folder\\ doesn't make sense, what is this supposed to be/do?
That said though, for educational purposes prepending ../../ should allow you to escape out of the folder/ directory.
For example if this is in /home/Zak/mytest/ with the expectation of a directory within that called folder designated to store these PNG files, then a file of ../../zak_homedir should put a file at /home/Zak/zak_homedir.PNG due to relative path resolution.

Allow for case-sensitivity in <img tag from PHP Variable & file extension

I built a PHP script that dynamically generates & displays an IMG tag like this:
<img src=/img/{$row['Invl_InventoryNumber']}.BMP>
This worked great on a Windows server where case-sensitivity was not an issue.
We moved the script to Linux and have found that the files have both .BMP and .bmp file extensions AND ALSO the $row['Invl_InventoryNumber] variable contains Alphabetical values that are uppercase too.
Example: RZP.bmp OR rzp.bmp OR RZP.BMP OR RzP.bmp OR Rzp.BMP etc, etc.
I have no control over the naming scheme of the files, they are created by a human but need to account/look for matching files names. I was thinking of some sort of CASE or if/elseif statement but was not sure if there is a better way to trigger the value to check all possibilities.
This is a limitation of the some Unix OS;
So I suggest that you standardize your files or save the same name (with cappitalized when there are) in your database.
However, you can try to use "mod_speling" if you to serve your pages with Apache.

Using ftp_get() when there are "spaces" in the file path and filename

I need to download a file via PHP ftp_get(), but the foolish provider is using directories and file names contaning whitespace.. The file path I'm dealing with is similar to /product info/more stuff/inventory and stuff.csv
The spaces in the path and in the filename itself is making it difficult to retrieve anything. I already tried the following without success:
$path = "/product\ info/more\ stuff/inventory\ and\ stuff.csv";
$path = "/product%20info/more%20stuff/inventory%20and%20stuff.csv";
$path = '"/product info/more stuff/inventory and stuff.csv"';
Thanks again for taking the time to help me out.
Your third attempt, quoting the complete path, was already the recommended approach. Though it very much depends on the actual server implementation.
FTP per RFC859 is comprised of a terminal session and a data transfer channel. Basically the FTP server provides a mini-shell on the command port. As such, typical shell string escaping rules do apply. URL encoding can be ruled out here.
I'd advise first to use single quotes however. Preferrably use escapeshellarg() to apply them. And try ftp_nb_get() while at it.
$path = "/foo foo/bar bar/baz baz.csv";
ftp_nb_get($con, "save.csv", escapeshellarg($path), 2);
If that doesn't work, further debugging is necessary. While all ftp_* function arguments are left unprocessed, you could as well try to send a ftp_raw request. This won't actually activate the data channel reading, but might return a more concrete error response.
print_r(ftp_raw($con, "RETR '/path to/some file.csv'\r\n"));
And I'm just gonna say it, if you're still getting a file not found error then; it's entirely possible that the file really doesn't exist at the presumed location. In that case manually traverse the directory structure with ftp_nlist and ftp_rawlist with var_dump (in case of extra trailing spaces for subdirs).
Alternatively just use PHPs ftp:// stream wrapper (which also supports PASV mode). Whose implementation is distinct from that of the ext/ftp functions. Here funnily enough, URL encoding is again the correct approach, but quoting still necessary (ftp_fopen_wrapper.c does not quote itself):
= file_get_contents("ftp://user:pw#example.org/'path%20to/file%20and.csv'");
// Inline quotes may likely trip up some FTP server implementations..
A much better alternative though is just using cURL.
// You'll have to use the long-winded PHP curl functions of course.
print curl("ftp://.../file with spaces.csv")->exec();
Last option is just resorting to calling a Unixland client. (If not wget, than a plain ftp client.)
$url = escapeshellarg("ftp://user:pw#ftp.example.org/$path");
$file = `wget $url`;
If you still can't retrieve any files, you'll have to look for an alternative FTP client in PHP for further debugging. Guess who wrote one.
To get a list of files or folders with spaces in the path.
ftp_chdir($conn, $path);
$children = ftp_rawlist($conn,'-a .');

UTF-8, PHP, Win7 - Is there a solution now to save UTF-8-filenames on Win 7 using php?

Update: Just to not make you reading through all: PHP starting with
7.1.0alpha2 supports UTF-8 filenames on Windows. (Thanks to Anatol-Belski!)
Following some link chains on stackoverflow I found part of the answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/10138133/3716796 by Umberto Salsi
(and on the same question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2950046/3716796 by Artefacto)
In short: 'PHP communicate[s] with the underlying file system as a "non-Unicode aware program"', and because of that all filenames given to PHP by Windows and vice versa are automatically translated/reencoded by Windows. This causes the errors. And you seemingly can't stop the automatic reencoding.
(And https://stackoverflow.com/a/2888039/3716796 by Artefacto: "PHP does not use the wide WIN32 API calls, so you're limited by the codepage.")
And at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47096 there is the bug report for PHP.
Though on there nicolas suggests, that a COM-object might work! $fs = new COM('Scripting.FileSystemObject', null,
CP_UTF8);
Maybe I will try that sometimes.
So there is the part of my questionleft : Is there PHP6 out, or was it withdrawn, or is there anything new on PHP about that topic?
// full Question
The most questions about this topic are 1 to 5 years old.
Could php now save a file using
file_put_contents($dir . '/' . $_POST['fileName'], $_POST['content']);
when the $_POST['fileName'] is UTF-8 encoded, for example "Крым.xml" ?
Currently it is saved as
Крым.xml
I checked the fileName variable, so I can be sure it's UTF-8:
echo mb_detect_encoding($_POST['fileName']);
Is there now anything new in PHP that could accomplish it?
At some places I read PHP 6 would be able to do it, but PHP 6 if i I remember right, has been withdrawn. ?
In Windows Explorer I can change the name of a file to "Крым.xml". As far as I have understood the old questions&answers, it should be possible to use file_put_contents if the fileName-var is simply encoded to the encoding used by windows 7 and it's NTFS disc.
There is even 3 old question with answers that claim to have succeeded: PHP File Handling with UTF-8 Special Characters
Convert UTF-16LE to UTF-8 in php
and PHP: How to create unicode filenames
Overall and most approved answers say it is not possible.
I checked all suggested answers already myself, and none works.
How to definitly and with absolute accuracy find out, in which encoding my Win 7 and Explorer saves the filename on my NTFS disc and with German language setting?
As said: I can create a file "Крым.xml" in the Explorer.
My conclusion:
1. Either file_put_contents doesn'T work correctly when handing over the fileName (which I tried with conversions to UTF-16, UTF-16LE, ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252) to Windows,
2. or file_put_contents just doesn't implement a way to call Windows' own file function in the appropriate way (so this second possibility would mean it's not a bug but just not implemented.) (For example notepad++ has no problems creating, writing and renaming a file called Крым.xml.)
Just one example of the error messages I got, in this case when I used
mb_convert_encoding($theFilename , 'Windows-1252' , 'UTF-8')
"Warning: file_put_contents(dirToSaveIn/????.xml): failed to open stream: No error in C:\aa xampp\htdocs\myinterface.lo\myinterface\phpWriteLocalSearchResponseXML.php on line 26 "
With other conversion I got other error messages, ranging from 'invalid characters' to no string recognized at all.
Greetings

Why might my PHP log file not entirely be text?

I'm trying to debug a plugin-bloated Wordpress installation; so I've added a very simple homebrew logger that records all the callbacks, which are basically listed in a single, ultimately 250+ row multidimensional array in Wordpress (I can't use print_r() because I need to catch them right before they are called).
My logger line is $logger->log("\t" . $callback . "\n");
The logger produces a dandy text file in normal situations, but at two points during this particular task it is adding something which causes my log file to no longer be encoded properly. Gedit (I'm on Ubuntu) won't open the file, claiming to not understand the encoding. In vim, the culprit corrupt callback (which I could not find in the debugger, looking at the array) is about in the middle and printed as ^#lambda_546 and at the end of file there's this cute guy ^M. The ^M and ^# are blue in my vim, which has no color theme set for .txt files. I don't know what it means.
I tried adding an is_string($callback) condition, but I get the same results.
Any ideas?
^# is a NUL character (\0) and ^M is a CR (\r). No idea why they're being generated though. You'd have to muck through the source and database to find out. geany should be able to open the file easily enough though.
Seems these cute guys are a result of your callback formatting for windows.
Mystery over. One of the callbacks was an anonymous function. Investigating the PHP create_function documentation, I saw that a commenter had noted that the created function has a name like so: chr(0) . lambda_n. Thanks PHP.
As for the \r. Well, that is more embarrassing. My logger reused some older code that I previously written which did end lines in \r\n.
