I am re-visiting the world of PHP after a really big hiatus and I am finding things veryslippery. Can someone please help me with the below code and let me know how I can print the token that is getting generated? I am using EasyPHP and I am trying to echo the $token but it wouldn't print anything. I am trying it as : http://localhost/token/URLToken.php. May I know where all I am going wrong here in my approach? <?php $sUrl = "/tstd_c_b1@s54782"; $sParam = "primaryToken"; $nTime = time(); $nEventDuration = 86400; $nWindow = $nTime + $nEventDuration; $sSalt = "akamai123!"; $sExtract = ""; // optional function urlauth_gen_url($sUrl, $sParam, $nWindow, $sSalt, $sExtract, $nTime) { $sToken = urlauth_gen_token($sUrl, $nWindow, $sSalt, $sExtract, $nTime); echo $token; if ($sToken == null) { return ; } if (($sParam == "") || (!is_string($sParam))) { $sParam = "__gda__"; } if ((strlen($sParam) < 5) || (strlen($sParam) > 12)) { return; } if (($nWindow < 0) || (!is_integer($nWindow))) { return; } if (($nTime <= 0) || (!is_integer($nTime))) { $nTime = time(); } $nExpires = $nWindow + $nTime; if (strpos($sUrl, "?") === false) { $res = $sUrl . "?" . $sParam . "=" . $nExpires . "_" . $sToken; } else { $res = $sUrl . "&" . $sParam . "=" . $nExpires . "_" . $sToken; } return $res; } /** * Returns the hash portion of the token. This function should not be * called directly. */ function urlauth_gen_token($sUrl, $nWindow, $sSalt, $sExtract, $nTime) { if (($sUrl == "") || (!is_string($sUrl))) { return; } if (($nWindow < 0) || (!is_integer($nWindow))) { return; } if (($sSalt == "") || (!is_string($sSalt))) { return; } if (!is_string($sExtract)) { $sExtract = ""; } if (($nTime <= 0) || (!is_integer($nTime))) { $nTime = time(); } $nExpires = $nWindow + $nTime; $sExpByte1 = chr($nExpires & 0xff); $sExpByte2 = chr(($nExpires >> 8) & 0xff); $sExpByte3 = chr(($nExpires >> 16) & 0xff); $sExpByte4 = chr(($nExpires >> 24) & 0xff); $sData = $sExpByte1 . $sExpByte2 . $sExpByte3 . $sExpByte4 . $sUrl . $sExtract . $sSalt; $sHash = _unHex(md5($sData)); $sToken = md5($sSalt . $sHash); return $sToken; } /** * Helper function used to translate hex data to binary */ function _unHex($str) { $res = ""; for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($str); $i += 2) { $res .= chr(hexdec(substr($str, $i, 2))); } return $res; } ?> -- Regards, Shreyas Agasthya
