B. Do not add methods to this package unless it is intended to be used for a significant number of files, and it does not belong anywhere else. =head1 FUNCTIONS This package provides several types of routines: =head2 Tainting Several functions are available to deal with tainted variables. B to avoid security holes. =over 4 =item C Tricks perl into untainting a particular variable. Use trick_taint() when you know that there is no way that the data in a scalar can be tainted, but taint mode still bails on it. B =item C This routine detaints a natural number. It returns a true value if the value passed in was a valid natural number, else it returns false. You B check the result of this routine to avoid security holes. =item C This routine detaints a signed integer. It returns a true value if the value passed in was a valid signed integer, else it returns false. You B check the result of this routine to avoid security holes. =back =head2 Quoting Some values may need to be quoted from perl. However, this should in general be done in the template where possible. =over 4 =item C Returns a value quoted for use in HTML, with &, E, E, E<34> and @ being replaced with their appropriate HTML entities. Also, Unicode BiDi controls are deleted. =item C Returns a string where only explicitly allowed HTML elements and attributes are kept. All HTML elements and attributes not being in the whitelist are either escaped (if HTML::Scrubber is not installed) or removed. =item C Quotes characters so that they may be included as part of a url. =item C Quotes characters so that they may be used as CSS class names. Spaces and forward slashes are replaced by underscores. =item C This is similar to C, except that ' is escaped to '. This is kept separate from html_quote partly for compatibility with previous code (for ') and partly for future handling of non-ASCII characters. =item C Converts the %xx encoding from the given URL back to its original form. =item C Removes the hostname from email addresses in the string, if the user currently viewing Bugzilla is logged out. If the user is logged-in, this filter just returns the input string. =back =head2 Environment and Location Functions returning information about your environment or location. =over 4 =item C Tells you whether or not you are being run as a CGI script in a web server. For example, it would return false if the caller is running in a command-line script. =item C Returns either the C or C parameter, depending on the current setting for the C parameter. =item C Returns true if an alternate host is used to display attachments; false otherwise. =back =head2 Data Manipulation =over 4 =item C Description: Takes two arrayrefs, and will tell you what it takes to get from @old to @new. Params: @old = array that you are changing from @new = array that you are changing to Returns: A list of two arrayrefs. The first is a reference to an array containing items that were removed from @old. The second is a reference to an array containing items that were added to @old. If both returned arrays are empty, @old and @new contain the same values. =back =head2 String Manipulation =over 4 =item C Removes any leading or trailing whitespace from a string. This routine does not modify the existing string. =item C Wraps a string, so that a line is I longer than C<$size>. Returns the string, wrapped. =item C Takes a bug comment, and wraps it to the appropriate length. The length is currently specified in C. Lines beginning with ">" are assumed to be quotes, and they will not be wrapped. The intended use of this function is to wrap comments that are about to be displayed or emailed. Generally, wrapped text should not be stored in the database. =item C Search for a comma, a whitespace or a hyphen to split $string, within the first $maxpos characters. If none of them is found, just split $string at $maxpos. The search starts at $maxpos and goes back to the beginning of the string. =item C Returns true is the string contains only 7-bit characters (ASCII 32 through 126, ASCII 10 (LineFeed) and ASCII 13 (Carrage Return). =item C Disable utf8 on STDOUT (and display raw data instead). =item C Returns the parameter "cleaned" by exchanging non-printable characters with spaces. Specifically characters (ASCII 0 through 31) and (ASCII 127) will become ASCII 32 (Space). =item C =over =item B This is a method of getting localized strings within Bugzilla code. Use this when you don't want to display a whole template, you just want a particular string. It uses the F template to return a string. =item B =over =item C<$message> - The identifier for the message. =item C<$vars> - A hashref. Any variables you want to pass to the template. =back =item B A string. =back =item C This is a method of getting the value of a variable from a template in Perl code. The available variables are in the C template. Just pass in the name of the variable that you want the value of. =back =head2 Formatting Time =over 4 =item C Takes a time and converts it to the desired format and timezone. If no format is given, the routine guesses the correct one and returns an empty array if it cannot. If no timezone is given, the user's timezone is used, as defined in his preferences. This routine is mainly called from templates to filter dates, see "FILTER time" in L. =item C Returns a DateTime object given a date string. If the string is not in some valid date format that C understands, we return C. You can optionally specify a timezone for the returned date. If not specified, defaults to the currently-logged-in user's timezone, or the Bugzilla server's local timezone if there isn't a logged-in user. =back =head2 Files =over 4 =item C Takes a filename and returns the modification time. It returns it in the format of the "mtime" parameter of the perl "stat" function. =back =head2 Cryptography =over 4 =item C Takes a string and returns a hashed (encrypted) value for it, using a random salt. An optional salt string may also be passed in. Please always use this function instead of the built-in perl C function, when checking or setting a password. Bugzilla does not use C. =begin undocumented Random salts are generated because the alternative is usually to use the first two characters of the password itself, and since the salt appears in plaintext at the beginning of the encrypted password string this has the effect of revealing the first two characters of the password to anyone who views the encrypted version. =end undocumented =item C Returns an alphanumeric string with the specified length (10 characters by default). Use this function to generate passwords and tokens. =back =head2 Validation =over 4 =item C Do a syntax checking for a legal email address and returns 1 if the check is successful, else returns 0. Untaints C<$email> if successful. =item C Make sure the date has the correct format and returns 1 if the check is successful, else returns 0. =back =head2 Database =over =item C Runs a block of code always on the main DB. Useful for when you're inside a subroutine and need to do some writes to the database, but don't know if Bugzilla is currently using the shadowdb or not. Used like: on_main_db { my $dbh = Bugzilla->dbh; $dbh->do("INSERT ..."); } =back
