RegexIterator / Recursive Iterator - can't search file with accents

[gdfhghjdfghgfhf]

I have a script that will search for a file inside all directories of my server, then return the full path to the file. The search query comes encoded in base64.

The script works perfectly when searching a file without accents. But as soon as i search for something with accents, it won't work.

Here is my file structure:

 

 

/var/www/clients/client2/web1/web/dl/pp/6250/Ya Basta! - 2002 - Lucha Y Fiesta.zip

/var/www/clients/client2/web1/web/dl/pp/6250/La Souris Déglinguée - 1988 - Quartier Libre.zip

 

When searching for the first file (WWEgQmFzdGEhIC0gMjAwMiAtIEx1Y2hhIFkgRmllc3RhLnppcA==) it will return the correct path. But when searching for the second file with accents (TGEgU291cmlzIETpZ2xpbmd16WUgLSAxOTg4IC0gUXVhcnRpZXIgTGlicmUuemlw) it will not return any result even if the file exists

Here's the script:

header("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8");

// $encodedquery = "WWEgQmFzdGEhIC0gMjAwMiAtIEx1Y2hhIFkgRmllc3RhLnppcA==";  // query without accent = WORKS !
$encodedquery = "TGEgU291cmlzIETpZ2xpbmd16WUgLSAxOTg4IC0gUXVhcnRpZXIgTGlicmUuemlw" // query with accents = DOESNT WORKS

$decode = utf8_encode(base64_decode($encodedquery);
$search = preg_quote($decode);
echo "searching for \"$search\" ....";

        function rsearch($folder, $pattern) {
            $dir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($folder);
            $ite = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($dir);
            $files = new RegexIterator($ite, $pattern, RegexIterator::GET_MATCH);
            $fileList = array();
            foreach($files as $file) {
                $fileList = array_merge($fileList, $file);
            }
            return $fileList;
        }

        $root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
        $resultatss = rsearch($root, '/.*\/'.$search.'/');

foreach ($resultatss as $resultat) {
echo "<br>FOUND FILE = $resultat";
}

Hey ungovernable,

just use openssl instead utf8_encode to encode and after to decode the string of the file.

 

So, here is a simple test that I made it for you:

#!/bin/bash
 
openssl enc -base64 <<< 'La Souris Déglinguée - 1988 - Quartier Libre.zip'


Result: 

TGEgU291cmlzIETDqWdsaW5ndcOpZSAtIDE5ODggLSBRdWFydGllciBMaWJyZS56aXAK

# decode the string

openssl enc -base64 -d <<< 'TGEgU291cmlzIETDqWdsaW5ndcOpZSAtIDE5ODggLSBRdWFydGllciBMaWJyZS56
aXAK'

Result: 

La Souris Déglinguée - 1988 - Quartier Libre.zip

So, do you know how to run a bash command(s) inside the php script?

no :/

Ah, I see.

I will try to give you an example later

Bash in PHP make me start to sweat nervously

 

Run that script onto your web server and tell me what result you get.

<?php

$str = 'La Souris Déglinguée - 1988 - Quartier Libre.zip';

$enc = "openssl enc -base64 <<< '$str'";

$exc = shell_exec($enc);

$dec = "openssl enc -base64 -d <<< '$exc'";

echo shell_exec($dec);
