According to this new advisory from Secunia today, the SuSE linux group has released a new package update for the PHP4 distribution on their operating system:   SUSE has issued an update for php4. This fixes some vulnerabilities and a weakness, where one has an unknown impact and the others can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges, and by malicious, local users and malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.   The issue is marked as "Less critical" but it's still a good idea to update, especially when it relates to security issues. You can find more information at the original advisory on the Novell site.

Evert Pot has posted about a library he's creating to integrate WebDAV support with PHP and make things simpler for those needing to access the shares.   I intend to make this library as easy as possible to use, without making it a black-box-like system. Focus will not be on everything WebDAV could possibly provide, but instead on the features that are actually supported by the operating systems.   His goal is to make it as simple as making a 'File' and 'Directory' class to interface with the remote system and has two things he's deliberating on as far as features to include in the library - support for the custom properties WebDAV allows and the ability to lock files and directories.   If you'd like to check out the current progress of the library, check out its page on the Google Code site (as well as this discussion group he's set up).

PHP driven Inventory, HelpDesk, Support, Issue Tracking, and Knowledge Base web application. Focuses on simplicity and ease of customization. Sort of a mini-Directory solution for SMBs using PHP and any Pear::DB supported database. OpenIT 1.3 represents a major step from 1.2.  Thanks to Aaron's (acolflesh) new "Lookups" section all entries in the database can be edited via OpenIT.  This means no more using phpMyAdmin to add Departments.   Dan (dancoulter) worked hard to get Active Directory authentication to work via LDAP.  This is an exciting feature for anyone using Active Directory.  The coding style is in a state of flux as we're trying to bring it in line with PEAR standards.  There have been minor database changes.  At this point the easiest way to upgrade your database is to do a diff of the old & new tools/setup.php scripts to see what has changed.  Please use this release as much as possible and report bugs on the SourceForge Project Bug tracker & forums.  Note:  From version 1.3 forward OpenIT will follow versioning practices similar to the Linux Kernel.  This means all odd minor number releases (1.3, 2.5, etc.) will be "Testing" releases, while even minor number releases (1.4, 2.0, etc.) will be "Stable" releases.  OpenIT 1.3 Released http://openit.sf.net  This version is availabe here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=111107&package_id=133178

In a new post to his blog, Robert Swarthout about a PHP frontend he's been developing for working with Subversion repositories:   The frontend needed to be designed in such a way that each developer could access their working copies and make the full range of actions against them. I decided to also use an AJAX setup so that pages would be quickly loaded and updated by a single toggle of a folder.   A few issues popped up, including tracking edits correctly through the interface. His solution revolved around an Apache MPM that could serve different pages to different users and groups. With this solution in place, the functionality could be built up, a list of which he provides including:  create working copy from repository (svn checkout) svn blame svn delete search files (via a grep/find combination, omitting .svn folders) svn rename
