Connection Strings

I am developing a website and it's going fine, but i've heard that you shouldn't have your database in the wwwroot, it should be outside/above that.

I've done this (i'm using Dreamweaver MX) so I moved the db, fixed my odbc/dsn, connection string etc, but when I upload now I get this error.

Microsoft JET Database Engineerror '80004005'

'C:Program FilesEnsimSiteDatawebpplianceconfdomainsInet pubwwwrootTesting_SiteDatabasesTesting_Website _DataSource.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides. /Testing_Site/default.asp, line 8

This is line 8: Recordset1.ActiveConnection = MM_TestingConnection_STRING

Is there something that I have missed. It was ok when it was in the wwwroot.

Securing SQL2000 Connection Strings

Looking for a way to secure string. Have connect.asp page as an include file, but want to still use dsn-less connection and not have this in an asp page. Though about putting this in the global.asa file. Don't want to create a DSN and give IUSR_ rights to SQL DB.

SECURITY: Best Practices For Handling Connection Strings

I saw a brief blurb on this somewhere and am unable to recall where...

In the context of Security, what are some best practices for
handling -storing, locating, retrieving- database OLEDB connection strings?

I have typically used a single include file and even considered stuffing the
string in a document (XML or otherwise) outside of the root directory. I
know of and have used methods to store connection strings in the registry of
the server. My thinking is the optimal solution involves some form of
encryption and locating the string outside of the site itself. Code:

Connection Info In Global.asa

Our ASP web application uses connection object from global.asa.
We hard coded Uid and pwd in global.asa.

Is there any way we can encrypt this Uid and Pwd in global.asa, or can
we access them through environment variables, if so can some one give me a
sample of code( to access environment variables through asp code.)

Connection String In Global.asa

I currently have my SQL Server connection string in an Application variable in the global.asa. Could that be a security risk? I have heard that with Cold Fusion, when there is a page error. the actual Connection String is written to the screen as part of the error page.

I'm quite sure that would not occur in ASP but just wanted to be sure, and get a few expert opinions.

Connection String In Global.asa

I was looking at another post, and what the person did was:

Dim strConn
strConn = "string"
application("strConn") = strConn
Now, am I able to create a connection object in my global.asa like so, and then keep my existing syntax for all my hundreds of queries?

Dim strCon
strCon = string
Set Connect = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Connect.Open strCon
?

I'm trying to SAVE bandwidth, so I want to create my connection in global.asa instead of each time my include file 'top.asp' is executed. I can also close it easily...

PS. I believe Application_OnStart() is the best place to put it, am I correct?

Strings

i am retrieving a record from the database, I am trying to place the value of the FULLNAME field in a textbox on a Form, the Problem is that it only displays half of the name leaving out the stuff that comes after a SPACE.

Example:

adors("fullname").value <--- Actual Value is John Smith
but it only displays John
Code:

<INPUT id=text1 readonly name=txtfullname value=<%=adors("fullname").value%>>

but if I try to just response.write it anywhere on the page then it displays the entire name.

Combining 2 Sql Strings

I have 2 SQL strings:

SELECT *
FROM NK_editie " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc

And

SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID
ORDER BY editie desc

Now I want to combine those 2 to one string.

I have problems to set it up in working order.
My tryout:
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID &
" & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc

It shows al the records which are joined, only the second string " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & " is not working.

Placing Strings Onto Url

I found out a really nice way to keep things on the same page is for any processing page to add on a "?<something>=<something>"

and then just check to see what the something is equal to, and the number represents what you want the front page to show.

However, this <something> shows up on the url listing in a browser. Is there anyway to .. encode it so no one can see it? Like a encode/decode function?

" And ' In SQL Strings

I'm building a forum, and right now i'm creating the ability to edit posts. As part of this i want to add the usual "Edited by UserName on Date" line at the bottom, but am having problems doing so.

The problems seems to do with formatting the text in the variable with <span>s using stylesheets, or if there are " and ' markes in the post proper (which I can't seemt to remove with Replace). Here's my code:

Comparing Strings

i am having a problem with comparing two strings. I am taking
in the parameter rs("Company") and if this is empty i want to put some
text in there. I am testing it with an empty Company field and comparing
it like so:

temp1=rs("Company")
temp2=StrComp(temp1,NULL)

I have also tried it with
temp2=StrComp(temp1,"")

but each time i get nothing returned. Is there some rule about comparing a
string with an empty string?

Search Strings...

I have a search function on my site, and what happens at them moment is the user fills in a text box with their search string, and clicks submit. The search page takes their string, and splits it up where it sees " ".

All fairly simple, what I'd like is to allow the user to enter text in speechmarks, so the script would search for a couple of words together, as well as being able to search for every individual word...

Everyone confused yet?!

e.g If the user enters Dev Shed Forums , then the search would look for every occurance of the strings "Dev", "Shed" and "Forums"

What I want is for the user to be able to enter "Dev Shed" Forums, and the search will look for "Dev Shed" and "Forums"...

Strings With Quotes In

< input type=text name="PageTitle" id="PageTitle"
value="<%=strPageTitle%>" >

How do I "escape" any quotes, accidental carriage returns etc that are
contained within strPageTitle? Do I have to use a series of replace()
functions, or is there a cunning way that makes it OK?

(Using escape(strPageTitle) fills the box with % signs...)

Unescaping Strings

I am storing some strings via asp.net in my dbase. The string looks like this:

Well, that`s just a simple level 100 quiz aiming to imprint ""standard random number generators are not really random"" program to those who still lack it. What will produce the following C# snippet? ‘ ....

Now I am reading these values via ASP and need to print them out.

Unfortunaly it does not UnCode the string back so that I can show it to the user. I know I could use the replace function but I wont replace all chars, there are many from this type. What can I do?

Strings And Tables

I am currently developing a registration application for the Boy Scouts. We have paper forms for those who choose not to use a computer to register. The paper forms have a box for each letter so that it is legible. how can i re-create the paper forms with ASP. For those who go online and register they need to print out the youths registration forms and I want them to look like the paper forms.

Now there are a few fields that are mutliple words so it would have to support spaces as well. Is there even a way to do this. I know it is going to be a pain for the good look it is going to be critical. I was thinking of using strings to simply seperate each letter and tell the script to simply repeat until. Is the right way?
