#50254 [NEW]: SPAM detector trips up on your own PHP.net site as URL

From: daevid at daevid dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Website problem Bug description: SPAM detector trips up on your own PHP.net site as URL Description: ------------ I tried to post this note in the include() page: --- see 'reproduce code' below on this form. --- I tried to post this note to here: http://us2.php.net/manual/add-note.php But the stupid-ass form says: "Your note contains a prohibited (usually SPAM) word. Please remove it and try again." WTF!? It doesn't even TELL me what f'n word is the problem. Seriously? It already asked me the stupid math question and now this B.S.? Then, I had to laugh because I removed the text: http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php http://php.net/manual/en/function.require.php http://php.net/manual/en/function.require-once.php http://php.net/manual/en/function.include-once.php And the submit note worked. LOL. So apparently one of those words in there is considered SPAM by PHP's own web form. Ha! Suckas. Reproduce code: --------------- Well now, I am confused because these pages: http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php http://php.net/manual/en/function.require.php http://php.net/manual/en/function.require-once.php http://php.net/manual/en/function.include-once.php All show them as functions: Include(), require(), require_once(), include_once() Yet ALL of the examples show the PEAR way: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.including.php "Note: include_once and require_once are statements, not functions. Parentheses should not surround the subject filename." include_once "a.php"; To change all require_once('foo.php'); to require_once 'foo.php' execute this: cd /var/www/ find . -name '*.php' -print | xargs egrep -l \ 'require_once\s*(\(.*\));'\ | xargs sed -i.sedorig -e \ 's/require_once\s*(\(.*\));/require_once \1;/' (thanks to Robert Hajime Lanning for that) Then to remove all the ".php.sedorig" backup files execute this: find . -name "*.php.sedorig" -type f -exec rm -rf {} \; Expected result: ---------------- I expected the form to not be so stupid and just let me post. You already ask me for a dumb math question so why the added check. And at the VERY least, tell me what word you consider SPAM so I can remove it. duh. Are you new to writing web pages/forms? Help the user out man. If I've taken the time to post a useful note, then work with me, not against me. This is related to 45055. I agree that the resulting error message needs to be more helpful/descriptive. If its' because of too many links, then damnit tell me that. If it is some word that is offensive, then tell me that too! UGH. I posted this again to show an example of what I'd consider a good note and that there aren't too many links. They are referencing relevant PHP pages even. Actual result: -------------- fail. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50254&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50254&r=mysqlcfg
