So the wedding rehearsal last night was one of the least organised things I've ever been at. The building is highly unattractive, and the lighting is awful. Today is going to be long and hard.

do you get to stay for the afterparty as well then? that's the only bit of a wedding that's worth going to...

How are the new ridiculous trainers working out for you?
( , Sat 16 Oct 2010, 11:53, Reply)

until you get drunk anyway. so will you be all suited up, a penguin in a penguin suit??
the trainers are good, ordinary trainers feel very flat and funny now. they are making me walk miles more every week, so it was worth it even if they are total bollocks. but they are a disaster on the tube, the minute it lurches to a halt, i fall over.
( , Sat 16 Oct 2010, 12:03, Reply)

Because the camera straps would probably ruin the shoulders, which I don't really want to do. The memory cards and settings and things I'm using should give me a total of about 1000 photos, give or take. Think that should be enough.
Watching the tube falling over would be, I'm sorry to say, nothing short of hilarious. I think that's clearly the best thing to come out of you buying them.

it wouldn't come out the other side. So understandably I was a bit panicky. I called up in the morning and they told me to come in, and the piercer stuck a blunt bit of metal through to find the hole, then put it back in.
Apparently I was just unlucky, but I might invest in surgical tape and stick it down at night.

FIVE HOURS OF TEDDIOUS DULL CHANTING.
I was reading the english translation, it was all about how god is great for killing the firstborns of egypt. Seriously.
I was quite shocked, I've never been anit-religion before, but I'm very anti 'united' jewishness.
FIVE FUCKING HOURS.
Oh god, it was so dull and teddious and borring and women sit at the back and when they parade the scrolls around it just goes round the blokes section, even though it was a BATmitaizh, a girl's one.
They made someone sit outside, in the cold, for the whole thing, 'cus she wasn't "properly dressed", seriously, I can't believe it, compasion my arse. No wonder the world wants to blow up israel if they're reading this smug cunt's version of the siddor. I reckon that person dodged a bullet, I'd rather be outside fucking about on my phone.
Oh, yeah', my phone went off outside before it started and someone told me to go outside and round the corner. I then turned it onto silent and when I got back loads of people were staring at me, so I said to my uncle "Wow, I didn't realise they had mobile phones in biblical times" and he started laughing.

Loads of them wouldn't shake my hand 'cus I ain't one of those poncy jews. Or they would hold their hand out limp for me to shake them. I'm a lower life form, and would be lower still if I was female.

So if I fucked off, people would have noticed.
Oh'yeah', as soon as I get in the car my cousen gives me a bollocking. 'cus the phone went to voicemail, 'cus I was on the phone talking to ma' to let her know I was leaving. I'm talking about a good 5 minute bollocking, I almost got her to stop the car, let me out, and I would have found a cab home.
Only reason I reckon they wanted me to open the thinggy was to force me into coming, so I couldn't back out, like all the other cousins my age.
I might make up some excuse about the party tomo, I'm sick of getting a bollocking from these people, donno who they reckon they are or who they're talking too, but I _am_ an adult.

over Vauxhall Bridge and around Victora area and Hyde Park. Not a place I know well, so it's nice to look out the window. Had a short, painful yet fruitful meeting with the piercer, and home again.

The juice of half a lemon in the bottom of a cup, one tea-bag, filled with boiling water, squeeze the bag a couple of times, then three spoons of honey stirred in, taken with two paracetamol, is the only cure for colds I'll ever take now. Bloody brilliant.

$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE (username='$username') AND (password = '$password);";
So that 'sql' script will look in a table (like a spreadsheet) called 'users' and select all the rows where the column 'username' is the same as the input ($username), and the column password = $password... and then return that row so you can do something with it.
By making the $username = 'admin', which is pretty standard (at least, shouldn't be, but is used a lot) is almost always there, it turns the script into
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE (username='admin') AND (password = '$password');";
By setting $password to ') OR ('1' = '1 means that it'll run
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE (username='admin') AND (password = '') OR ('1' = '1');";
So we're looking for where the username = 1, the password = 'blank' OR 1 = 1..... 1 always = 1 and so would return the row and allow the aurtherisation to take place.
For you geeks out there, I only know MySQL, which doesn't use the () on select statements, so I'm guessing that's the syntax for whatever database system they're using, maybe MS SQL? I donno, that bit is an estimate.
( , Sat 16 Oct 2010, 18:19, Reply)

For example, in my framework I've built, it'll do....
$table = "users";
$data = array('username' => $username, 'password' => $password);
$row = $core -> db -> select_row($table, $data);
'select_row' inside 'db' inside 'core' is a function that would build the sql statement, making sure that all everything in the $data array is Escaped. There are sevrel ways of doing this, but this is the most basic example that people might understand. Another one would be
$sql = $core -> -> db -> makeSQL("Select * from users where username = ? and password = ?", $username, $password);
Which would do something similar.
The bold stuff I would normally do a few things with it first, but a lot of people give that direct access to a database.
The vars and names are changed to protect the innocent.

someone with such a tenuous grip on the English language has such an eye for coding. This is more praise than criticism I'll admit.
( , Sat 16 Oct 2010, 18:33, Reply)

Take this just as a brief example
"Jane has a cat, the cat was painted red. She threw it into a mirror until the mirror smashed"
// This is already created before this point normally
$mirror = new Object();
$cat = new Cat();
$jane = new User();
// This is the only bit I'd have to do really
while($user -> action('throw', array($cat,$mirror) ) !== $mirror->get('integraty') {
$mirror->set('integraty', 'smashed');
}
So with that, it'll tell the user to perform the action 'throw' the 'cat' into the 'mirror' until the mirror's var 'integraty' is smashed.... in this case, it would do it the once.
..... That doesn't quite make sense, but my brain deffo sees code better than english.
What I'm currently working on at work is 7gb worth of objects, views and stuff, so most of it is already written, but I have to find out exactly where it is, and make sure I don't over-write it. But in the same way if this was writting in english, I would have to find out who jane is, what a cat is and what a mirror is. In english, it's ovbouse what a mirror and cat is, and to me it is in code too, 'cus I can read it and know where to look to find it (almost like knowing the page numbers that describe the jane/mirror/cat).

CodeIgnitor might be a better way to go about it though, you won't have to re-learn a lot, just a few core functions. I managed to learn the base of it inside a few days... it sounds like you wouldn't be too far off from me if you're already doing OOP.
( , Sat 16 Oct 2010, 19:01, Reply)

This puts a slash before the ' (so it would look like this
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE (username='admin') AND (password = '/') OR (/'1/' = /'1');";
So it would be looking for a password called ') OR ('1' = '1, and therefore wouldn't match up in the database, not return a row, and the page will say "Incorrect combination".
