Comment on Cipher Behavior with Zend_Filter for CakePHP 1.3 – Easy Two-Way Encryption by Jamie

Jamie — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 15:41:45 +0000

I highly recommend not using Cake’s cipher function, which is found in the Security class. It’s not true encryption. My behavior uses mcrypt, which is a very good php extension that handles two-way encryption. Blowfish is another decent encryption engine. I’d say that you should use either of those before you resort to Cake’s Security::cipher() function, which is a pretty weak encryption tool. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have written this behavior!

Is there a reason why you don’t want to use mcrypt or blowfish?

Comment on Cipher Behavior with Zend_Filter for CakePHP 1.3 – Easy Two-Way Encryption by Louis Stephens

I like what you have done here. I was wondering though, is there a way to achieve this using the built in cipher($key)? Sorry, I am pretty new to cake php, and I was told to use the cipher behavior that was in the cakephp bakery and modify it from using “blowfish” to using the built in “cipher” and to be honest I am quite lost.

Comment on Auto Paginate Component for CakePHP (Persisting Pagination Limits 2.0) by jayu

hello,

I used your component but it shows me error array_combine() [function.array-combine]: Both parameters should have an equal number of elements my code is given below. I just change the name of the component as pagination.

in events controller

$this->Event->recursive = 0;
$this->Pagination->setPaginate(array(
‘contain’ => array(‘Event’)
));
$this->data = $this->Event->find(“all”);

$this->set($this->data, $this->Paginate());

Thanks

Joseph – can you post your code from config/database.php, and also any relevant code in your models?

I’m struggling with this error message.

Unable to import DataSource class .ZendsearchluceneSource [CORE\cake\libs\model\connection_manager.php, line 186]

have i missed a step somehow?

I’m using 1.3 for this.

Comment on Finding Random Model Records in CakePHP 1.2 by mark

by the way:
caching the primary keys might actually make your method 100x faster…
usually those records dont change that often. and new ones dont have to appear right away.
maybe by enabling “cache”=>true/false as parameter?

Comment on Finding Random Model Records in CakePHP 1.2 by mark

nice idea
but i ended up with using sql internal RAND() because its way faster – especially if the records are getting more and more…

function __findRandom($options) {
$type = ‘first’;
if (isset($options['type']) && $options['type'] != ‘random’) {
$type = $options['type'];
unset($options['type']);
}
$options['order'] = ‘rand()’;
return $this->find($type, $options);
}
