Properties
$patterns
A list of random patterns to use for overwriting purposes.
public
static array<string|int, mixed>
$patterns
= array("U", "\xaa", "\x92I\$", "I\$\x92", "\$\x92I", "\x00", "\x11", "\"", "3", "D", "U", "f", "w", "\x88", "\x99", "\xaa", "\xbb", "\xcc", "\xdd", "\xee", "\xff", "\x92I\$", "I\$\x92", "\$\x92I", "m\xb6\xdb", "\xb6\xdbm", "\xdbm\xb6")
See http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/secure_del.html. We save the random overwrites for efficiency reasons.
$_cache
Cache for extensionExists().
protected
static array<string|int, mixed>
$_cache
= array()
$_magicquotes
Are magic quotes in use?
protected
static bool
$_magicquotes
= \null
$_shutdowndata
Data used to determine shutdown deletion.
protected
static array<string|int, mixed>
$_shutdowndata
= array('paths' => array(), 'secure' => array())
$_shutdownreg
Has the shutdown method been registered?
protected
static bool
$_shutdownreg
= \false
Methods
createTempDir()
Creates a temporary directory in the system's temporary directory.
public
static createTempDir([bool $delete = true ][, string $temp_dir = null ]) : string
Parameters
- $delete : bool = true
-
Delete the temporary directory at the end of the request?
- $temp_dir : string = null
-
Use this temporary directory as the directory where the temporary directory will be created.
Return values
string —The pathname to the new temporary directory. Returns false if directory not created.
deleteAtShutdown()
Removes given elements at request shutdown.
public
static deleteAtShutdown(string $filename[, bool $register = true ][, bool $secure = false ]) : mixed
If called with a filename will delete that file at request shutdown; if called with a directory will remove that directory and all files in that directory at request shutdown.
If called with no arguments, return all elements to be deleted (this should only be done by Horde_Util::_deleteAtShutdown()).
The first time it is called, it initializes the array and registers Horde_Util::_deleteAtShutdown() as a shutdown function - no need to do so manually.
The second parameter allows the unregistering of previously registered elements.
Parameters
- $filename : string
-
The filename to be deleted at the end of the request.
- $register : bool = true
-
If true, then register the element for deletion, otherwise, unregister it.
- $secure : bool = false
-
If deleting file, should we securely delete the file?
Return values
mixed —dispelMagicQuotes()
If magic_quotes_gpc is in use, run stripslashes() on $var.
public
static dispelMagicQuotes(mixed $var) : mixed

- $var : mixed

static formInput(bool $append_session) : string
Parameters
- $append_session : bool
-
0 = only if needed, 1 = always.
Return values
string —The hidden form input, if needed/requested.
getFormData()
Gets a form variable from GET or POST data, stripped of magic quotes if necessary. If the variable is somehow set in both the GET data and the POST data, the value from the POST data will be returned and the GET value will be ignored.

getPathInfo()
Utility function to obtain PATH_INFO information.
public
static getPathInfo() : string
Return values
string —The PATH_INFO string.

mixed —_secureDelete()
