Referring to the Dispatch Method from the PHP Security Consortium:

I believe I understand that PHP Dispatch method allows for all page requests to go through one page instead of having to have everything easily accessible to world, you only have one page accessible and all requests go through that page. Is that correct? Does that mean you have to put a lot of information in the dispatch.php file for each page so it knows where to forward to. I guess I don't really understand what this is supposed to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Not at all.

If you have a modules directory and a well thought out naming scheme, you can write a universal dispatcher in roughly 10 short lines of code. (not including brace lines)

Assuming you've already screened $mode

PHP Code: [ Select ]
$manage_mode_file = ROOT_PATH . "/manage/$mode";
 
if(file_exists("$manage_mode_file.php") && file_exists("$manage_mode_file.html"))
{
   require_once("$manage_mode_file.php");
}
else
{
   require_once(ROOT_PATH . '/manage/index.php');
}
  1. $manage_mode_file = ROOT_PATH . "/manage/$mode";
  2.  
  3. if(file_exists("$manage_mode_file.php") && file_exists("$manage_mode_file.html"))
  4. {
  5.    require_once("$manage_mode_file.php");
  6. }
  7. else
  8. {
  9.    require_once(ROOT_PATH . '/manage/index.php');
  10. }
Strong with this one, the sudo is.
