Can ANyBody HELP ~!!!!

Hi, I am working for a website where I am managing the security in session. After loggin in i store a unique number in session with user id. On surfing each page, i am checking the session and approving user authentication. But in IE7, if the user opens one mroe tab in the same IE and works, the session is shared and every thing gets meshed up. I want to change the type of authentication and make the application more secured. I also want to make sure that if user presses F5 or refresh the page, the session will expire and user will get logged off. please help me achieve this. Any guidance on authenticating the user and maintaining the same thru out the session without using session varriables wil be a great help thanks santosh

Hi Thanks for the reply... Can we use Date_format or STR_TO_DATE function in the where clause of the select query to help mysql read the date and understand the format ... Please guide me if this is possible Thanks Santosh

Hi , I am writing a query in mysql which will find appropriate fields in a table between two dates given. Below is the query I am using This query was working fine until yesterday since I was using the MM/DD/YYYY (USA) date format. Today we required our application to support both the date formats (USA & UK). So I changed the date format to DD/MM/YYYY. Now this query is returning wrong result set. Kindly help me to solve this problem Thanks Santosh

Hi Ken, I didnt understand it properly. "if not it is sent plain text and could be intercepted"... is it secured ? is it advisable to send information like password, security numbers thru SSL channel in form post ?? Thank you Santosh

Any other suggestion is welcomed !!!

in both the cases, the page takes one round to the server and data comes from server after getting submitted !!! Well, since it is safe to submit the form and get the data in post, i think i sud go for it...

Cant the hackers access my form values? is this becoz of the SSL??

Hi I am not storing the password in hidden field. The password will be masked in a Password filed (input type=password) and I am then submiting the form to go to the other page where I will encrypt the text in PHP. Is this secured over SSL... my concern is : is form post varriables are secured in a SSL channel? Thanks

Hi , I am facing problems in encryting text in PHP. I am having an input form for the user to enter the password and a key for security. I am going to store those in database for future use. My site is SSL enabled too. I want to encrypt the password and store them in database. I will get those varriables to PHP for encryption only after the page is submitted to one more page. My Concern is "To transmit the data through form post varriables from one page to another as plane text." Is it safe to transmit the plane text (password and key) to the other page and then encrypt them and store in the database? I have also tried to encrypt the password in JavaScript and send it across to the other page. But in that page again I need to decrypt and encrypt in PHP and store in database. I am really confused for this issue. Kindly Help..... Thank you. Santosh

Hi, I am working for a Hotel Management Project. This application is developed in PHP and hosted in a public server. As Is: Now, We are doing reservation for the hotels ( Our Customers ). The Guests who will book their rooms in our site have two modes of payment. 1. Reservation by Gurantee. 2. Reservation by Credit Card. For the second type of reservation ( Credit Card ), we need to take the credit card number from the guest and send it across to the customer in order to process the payment. The customer will not process the payment immediately, but they will keep the credit card number with them until the guest reach the hotel. They will also verify the identity of the Guest, by the credit card number, address and name from the bank. But if the Guest doesnt show up until the check in date and the reservation is to expire, the Customer will process the payment with the credit card as a penalty of the wrong reservation. This will be done by the customer and we dont take any responsibility for this. To Be : We need to store the credit card number in our database. Also we need to send the credit card number to the customer. These two actions are not very safe and adviced by anybody. I have consulted the hosting company where we host our server, but they are not going to take any responsibility of the credit card numbers. As the server is a shared server and many other sites are hosted in the same server, I feel there is a pontential amount of risk involved in the action. I am thinking to encrypt the credit card numbers and store them in the database. and we can provide the customer the credit card number by phone after verifing the identity. But still I feel risk. Kindly help me to find answers to my following questions. 1. Is it illegal to store the CC number in database? 2. If No, Do we need to have any permission for any organization to do so? 3. I know the simple encryption technique to use, but can anybody suggest some stong encryption technology? I use PHP and mySQL. Please help me in this regard. Any help for this problem is highly appreciated. Thank you Very Much Santosh
