Detailed Description

Some functions to help implement an external link filter for spam control.

Todo:: implement the filter. Currently these are just some functions to help maintenance/cleanupSpam.php remove links to a single specified domain. The next thing is to implement functions for checking a given page against a big list of domains.

Another cool thing to do would be a web interface for fast spam removal.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getQueryConditions()

static LinkFilter::getQueryConditions	(		$filterEntry,
		array	$options = `[]`
	)

static

Return query conditions which will match the specified string.

There are several kinds of filter entry:

*.domain.com    -  Matches domain.com and www.domain.com
domain.com      -  Matches domain.com or domain.com/ but not www.domain.com
*.domain.com/x  -  Matches domain.com/xy or www.domain.com/xy. Also probably matches
                   domain.com/foobar/xy due to limitations of LIKE syntax.
domain.com/x    -  Matches domain.com/xy but not www.domain.com/xy
192.0.2.*       -  Matches any IP in 192.0.2.0/24. Can also have a path appended.
[2001:db8::*]   -  Matches any IP in 2001:db8::/112. Can also have a path appended.
[2001:db8:*]    -  Matches any IP in 2001:db8::/32. Can also have a path appended.
foo@domain.com  -  With protocol 'mailto:', matches the email address foo@domain.com.
*@domain.com    -  With protocol 'mailto:', matches any email address at domain.com, but
                   not subdomains like foo@mail.domain.com

Asterisks in any other location are considered invalid.

Since: 1.33

Parameters

string	$filterEntry	Filter entry, as described above
array	$options	Options are: protocol: (string) Protocol to query (default http://) oneWildcard: (bool) Stop at the first wildcard (default false) prefix: (string) Field prefix (default 'el'). The query will test fields '{$prefix}_index' and '{$prefix}_index_60' db: (IDatabase\|null) Database to use.

Returns: array|bool Conditions to be used for the query (to be ANDed) or false on error. To determine if the query is constant on the el_index_60 field, check whether key 'el_index_60' is set.

Canonicalize a hostname for el_index.

Parameters

string $hose

Returns: string

◆ keepOneWildcard()

static LinkFilter::keepOneWildcard ( $arr )

static

Filters an array returned by makeLikeArray(), removing everything past first pattern placeholder.

Note: You probably want self::getQueryConditions() instead

Parameters

array $arr Array to filter

Returns: array Filtered array

◆ makeIndexes()

static LinkFilter::makeIndexes ( $url )

static

Converts a URL into a format for el_index.

Since: 1.33

Parameters

string $url

◆ makeLikeArray()

static LinkFilter::makeLikeArray	(	$filterEntry,
		$protocol = `'http://'`
	)

static

Make an array to be used for calls to Database::buildLike(), which will match the specified string.

This function does the same as LinkFilter::makeIndexes(), except it also takes care of adding wildcards

Note: You probably want self::getQueryConditions() instead

Parameters

string $filterEntry Filter entry,

See also: self::getQueryConditions()

Parameters

string $protocol Protocol (default http://)

Returns: array|bool Array to be passed to Database::buildLike() or false on error

◆ makeRegex()

static LinkFilter::makeRegex	(	$filterEntry,
		$protocol
	)

staticprivate

Builds a regex pattern for $filterEntry.

Todo:: This doesn't match the rest of the functionality here.

Parameters

string	$filterEntry	URL, if it begins with "*.", it'll be replaced to match any subdomain
string	$protocol	'http://' or 'https://'

Returns: string Regex pattern, for preg_match()

◆ matchEntry()

static LinkFilter::matchEntry	(	Content	$content,

static

Check whether $content contains a link to $filterEntry.

Parameters

Content	$content	Content to check
string	$filterEntry	Domainparts, see makeRegex() for more details
string	$protocol	'http://' or 'https://'

Returns: int 0 if no match or 1 if there's at least one match
