Mail-id verification:
/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/
Though both can be used in PHP and JS but there is another method to verify an email-id in PHP, by using the below code
if(!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL is a predefined filter in PHP.
Name Verification:
/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/
Phone Verification:
/^[0-9 -]+$/
Removing all spaces:
$pattern = '/\s+/'; $replace = ""; $string = preg_replace($pattern,$replace,$string);
There are two ways to prevent execution of any (malicious) scripts uploaded to by users.
Method one – like described in this post.
Method two – add the below code to .htaccess file of the directory that needs to be protected.
RemoveHandler .cgi .php .php3 .php4 .php5 .phtml .pl .py .pyc .pyo .sh .html .shtml .jsp
If it doesn’t work for PHP scripts on servers where suPHP is enabled, then see this post
To throw PHP or other scripts as text instead of executing it, add the below code to .htacess file.
AddType text/plain .cgi .php .php3 .php4 .php5 .phtml .pl .py .pyc .pyo .sh .html .shtml .jsp
This method can be used to execute .html files as .php (or for executing any other type of file as some other type).
This requires mod_mime module of Apache to be installed and enabled.
There might be problem if su_php is enabled. In case the above doesn’t work for PHP scripts when suPHP is enabled then try adding the following to Apache Directives (main is the highlighted code).
<Directory /var/www/domain.com/files/images/>
suPHP_Engine off
</Directory>
It is not a good idea to disable suPHP for the whole site, instead disable only for the required directory.
This is based on Apache on Ubuntu.
The server has a single IP Address and is used to host multiple domains using VirtualHost
If it is needed that on using the IP address of the server (in a browser) a particular site/domain get opened, then do the following:
ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/192.168.0.1.vhost ../sites-enabled/192.168.0.100.vhost
Please note adjustments might be necessary in the .htaccess file. Like if non-www to www redirection is enabled or http to https redirection is enabled, they will give error and warning (respectively) when IP is used to access the site. Adding
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !192\.168\.0\.1
before the existing condition ( e.g. RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. ) should help.
Below is a list of some PHP Microframeworks
Though all have their own merits and demerits but Phalcon is the most recommended one for speed and Slim and Flight for ease and speedy learning. In general Slim seems to be the most preferred one and has quite some handy features.
