Re: [PHP] Code Check fixed
Ok, thx, I've got it done. Dumb mistake, the user didn't have rights to
delete, it's as simple as that. My trials thru the command line where as

Hi List, I don't know where else to look. I've got PHP 5.0.0 and MySQL
4.1.3. (on Windwows XP with Apache 2.0.50)
Here is my Code: the Query with the delete is not executed and I don't
know why. If I copy it into the MySQL Command line like it is here,
everything works fine. I have another example with a more simple delete
which works (same syntax)
If I replace the delete with the insert statement it works.
What 'am I doing wrong here?

To make it easier on the user, I will divide it into 5 sections (20 questions per section), then all the information will be written to a db. What is the best way to carry along through the pages the information that has already been submitted? Cookies? Writing to a DB after each section? Session Variables? I would recommend using the DB first. If you can't/won't do that, use sessions. I would NOT recommend carrying all the variables along as INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN -- While that would work it makes it much harder to allow, say, a user who got disconnected to complete the form later, or a user whose session timed out because their boss walked in, or... When I suggested hidden input fields, I was working on the assumption, that the person wouldn't be filling out half of the form, and then coming back later to fill in the rest of the form. Assuming it would be nice to cross-reference answers with other answers from the same answerer, putting them in the DB initially will not solve your problem. Unless you use sessions, then you know that somebody answered questions 1 - 20, and you know that someone answered 21 - 40. You don't know that the answerers to the two sections are from the same person, unless you use sessions as well, which negates your next point. If you've stored their info in sessions, you will still lose it if their session times out. If it's in the DB, then they can complete the form whenever they have time. 100 questions is a lot of questions... You might even allow them to answer different sections in different orders, if there is a nice way to present them with some kind of grouping that's less arbitrary than 1-20, 21-40, ... 'Course, if this is a timed test/exam or something, some of the above is moot... But a student trying to take an exam that gets disconnected? Better to log their session start/end in the DB and only count time against them if it is contiguous, if you can. I read that writing to a database as i go along could be too much of a hazzle for the db, specially if I have multiple people filling out the form at the same time. You're not gonna slam the database unless you have *LOTS* of people filling out the form at the same time. How many is *LOTS* depends on hardware, and you should test this with YOUR hardware/network, but I suspect you are worrying over a non-issue on this. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Dynamically loading function arguments
Hi
Currently we are building a basic content management system where we
would like to be able to write as libral customized tags as possible,
for example [[select:array_name,title]] or [[form:name]] in the
format of [[function:arguments]]
The problem that we are experiencing are that the arguments are being
parsed as a single string, does anybody know of what function / method
i can use to get around this? My default option is to write the
functions to split the single supplied argument into their respective
arguments, but i am sure there is a easier way around?
I have tried splitting them up, and rejoining them with a , but i
think i am just redoing what php does internally.
Here is my current code,
?php
// function = select, array = _title_, name= select_title
$str = {{select:_title_,select_title}};
parse($str);
function parse($str){
$reg_ex = '/\{\{([a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+):(.*)\}\}/'; //
{{function_name:paramaters,seperate,by,comma}}
preg_match_all($reg_ex,$str,$matches,PREG_SET_ORDER);
// $matches[0] = whole function
// $matches[1] = function
// $matches[2] = content / params
echo $match_count = count($matches);
for ($i=0;$i$match_count;$i++){
$output = null;
if(function_exists($matches[$i][1])){
//function has been declared
// TO-DO: add safe mode function array to specify
allowed functions
#echo DEBUG:

}// end for
//eval(echo $params;);
//$output =
$matches[$i][1](implode(,,$args));//single str
$output = $matches[$i][1]($params);
$str =
eregi_replace($matches[$i][0],$output,$str);
} //end if
else {
// function not found or allowed remove tags
//echo DEBUG: function not foundbr /\n;
$str = eregi_replace($matches[$i][0],'',$str);

What programms have you used for it? CVS should be located on the internet. when on Windows I use TortoiseCVS as my CVS client. your CVS server should be setup somewhere you are reach it (I have mine setup so that I can SSH or VPN to the network the CVS box is on) - alternatively if you are developing on your own its quite feasable to run the CVS server/repository on your local box (and move it later if you want to share). the biggest problem is being able to check out a _working_ copy of your site. that requires some preparation - often you have 2 or 3 places you need to run a copy of a site (local/test, staging, live). each copy of the site may have slightly different include paths, different DB connections, etc. in order to accomodate the differences I usually keep 'box' specific configuration stuff in barebones 1 file that does not exist in CVS (usually called global.php) and/or make use of a .htaccess file that also does not exist inside CVS. if you are deploying your sites/apps to remote servers (think linux/*nix) then you had better get familiar with a few of the basic cmdlines for working with CVS, once you have a checkout setup (for instance for staging or demoing) with the correct CVSROOT (etc) its quite simple to update the 'demo' server with the following cmd (typed while you are in the appropriate dir): cvs up Don't forget that if you are developing in a different place to where the live site will run then you will probably have to keep DB schemas in sync as well - you will have to think about keeping a DB updater script in CVS to allow you to update the demo/live copies of the DB. Personally I'm a FirebirdDB fan - and I use IBExpert to sync the different copies of a DB that may exist for a given project. well there you have a little insight into my world, hope you succeed with version control too! rgds, Jochem Thanks in advance, Vlad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Replacing 2 strings
?
function replace($string){
preg_match(/^\^([a-zA-Z]+?)_([a-zA-Z]+?)/, $string, $matcharr);
$string = str_replace($matcharr[0], $matcharr[1] . .$matcharr[2]

}
$string = ^JIM_JONES Leicester, 1720. Oxford, 1800 CONFIRMED: meeting
at
19.10;
echo replace($string);
?
One of the small benefits of this solution is that Will doesn't need to
know
what is contained in the target substring beforehand.
I should get into the habit of listing the assumptions my code makes.
In the above example, the following assumptions are present:
- The target substring (in this example, ^JIM_JONES) must *always*
appear at the beginning of the string for the function to perform its task
- The target substring will *always* begin with ^, will feature a _
between the two name elements, and will conclude with
- There will only be two name elements within the target substring (ie will
match ^JIM_JONES and ^MARY_BETH but will not match ^JIM or
^MARY_BETH_JONES)
- The function will only replace the first incidence of the target
substring. In the eventuality that the target substring value appears
multiple times in the string being processed, all other instances will be
left unchanged.
- All other contents of the string being processed can vary without impact
on the function.

Murray

[PHP] Plugin systems
I'm looking to build a plugin system for my web application. I'm
going to need to handle multiple types of plugin. I know that many of
them exist already, but I'm wanting something that's very object-
clean and PHP5-aware. I was thinking about using multiple interface
implementations, so that I could have a plugin that provides a
particular kind of database access, provides a user interface for
admin purposes, and a simple display unit perhaps for connection
status. In this case I'd define a class like:
class mynewplugin extends pluginbase implements database, admin,
display {
//...
}
I would then be able to introspect (using class_implements etc) to
find, for example, all plugins that implement database access. I
could easily add more plugin types by adding more interface types.
The overall benefit being that all kind of plugin are handled through
a single mechanism.
Does this sound like a solid structure and mechanism?

[PHP] php forum and (almost certainly 0T) client editor
Hey guys (and girl...as we have one on the list...(that i know of)), Can anybody recommend a real bare bones forum that i can modify or a tutorial for creating a forum or URLs/Classes etc to help me create a simple forum? I checked on google but I couldnt find any tutorials or code, went to hot-scripts and saw a _c r a p l o a d_ of forums (for free and otherwise) but I have a client who insists I build him a forum which must fall _exactly_ to his specifications and work of our currently registered users database. Worse scenario, I will dl a few of the forums from hotscrpts and go through each of their code...but I would like to avoid that if anyone can give me a better option. 2nd question I will need a kind of client editor for when people write their messages into the forum, eg: make this bold and that italics and that centered and that with an image and so on I had actually seen a (dhtml, I think) form some time back where you could preview your message at the side as you made changes...somewhat like what google has for their ad-cents accounts where you can change the colors of your ad and immediatly it shows the changes at the side in a box. I remember sometime back someone posting some WYSIWYG kind of editors which loads on the clients machine with just a textbox and the buttons to go bold, italics,centered etc unfortunatly looking into the archives i cant find it.

find, for example, all plugins that implement database access. I could
easily add more plugin types by adding more interface types. The
overall benefit being that all kind of plugin are handled through a
single mechanism.
Does this sound like a solid structure and mechanism?
it sounds like lots of work, with the possibility that it will become
overengineered... which has the affect of:
1. making code slow (introspection and reflection are not the speediest parts
of the engine!)
2. make seemingly simple things difficult because of all the hoops you
have created for yourself.
but then there is nothing to suggest that you can't make it work
- the kind of thing you suggest doing is a good way of utilizing
the advantages of the object model.
I doubt it will be easy to write it well... but hey thats half the fun right?!
:-)
by all means hit the list with all your tricky little php5 problems,
I for one will be on the look out for them :-)
btw: you may want to ask yourself (in order to help define scope etc):
1. what is the objective you wish to accomplish with such a 'system'?
2. do you have a very strict definition of 'plugin'? (I have always found the
word rather woolly/inexact)

My class library using some PEAR packages, and I would like to make it self-contained, i.e. to be able to move it to a server (for example MacOS X) which do not have (and will not require) installation of any PEAR package(s). What I would like to do is just to copy whole PEAR directory from the /usr/share/php5 in the corresponding subdir of my class library. The question is - how to make this work transparently. What global php_ini variables need to be changed? Just ¨include_path¨ or anything else? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). *** with best regards *** Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) *** Mac, Linux, DTP, Programming Web Site *** *** http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ include_path is the only php.ini setting that might need to be changed. But why exactly are you planning on bundling the PEAR classes? There are several reasons why this isn't a great idea: - New versions of the scripts you need are released, but users downloading your package will have outdated (and probably buggy) versions - For people that already *do* have PEAR, they're probably going to get confused when trying to debug... and get really annoyed when they find out it's because PHP was trying to read *your* PEAR library instead of the global one - It's easier (in terms of getting access from server admin) to add more php files to the web root than it is to get access to php.ini There is really only one advantage that I can see here: you don't have to worry about BC / your custom library will just work.

Also, you don't normally work directly on the repository but on a locally checked out version. This is what makes concurrent edits possible. SVN is typically implemented as a WebDAV service (possibly using SSL for security), and you can simply mount the webdav point as you would any other webdav file system.

There's no particular reason this should have any great impact on speed as it's not really any different to loading a bunch of classes (something which is massively improved with an accelerator anyway). The plugin system needs to do several things: * locate plugin files (just normal readdir calls) * within located plugins, locate implementations of particular functionality (a simple call to class_implements) * run preferred implementation Smarty has quite a neat plugin mechanism, but it's quite limited in what it tries o do - for example there's no way you can directly build block, modifier and function plugins with identical functionality in a single file (though you could do it using a shared class and a bunch of includes - exactly the complexity I'm trying to avoid).

Re: [PHP] PHP and USB Devices
The fingerprint reader may have software that has COM capabilities too. So you might be able to use a COM call to the software to get the fingerprint ID (big huge password mentioned) that it generates. Reading directly from the device would probably mean writing a custom driver since even if you can connect directly to the bus, you gotta know what to do with the data coming in and out of it. Seeing as it's a Microsoft USB fingerprint reader, there's a halfway decent chance that the included software (or some similar third party app or plugin) has COM capabilities. -TG = = = Original message = = = On 5/31/05, Joe Harman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has anyone out there found a way to get information from a USB device running on their computer... what i am trying to do is retrive the fingerprint ID that the Microsoft USB fingerprint reader returns for a finger print and put it in a webpage form???

One of the small benefits of this solution is that Will doesn't need to
know
what is contained in the target substring beforehand.
I should get into the habit of listing the assumptions my code makes.
In the above example, the following assumptions are present:
- The target substring (in this example, ^JIM_JONES) must *always*
appear at the beginning of the string for the function to perform its task
- The target substring will *always* begin with ^, will feature a _
between the two name elements, and will conclude with
- There will only be two name elements within the target substring (ie will
match ^JIM_JONES and ^MARY_BETH but will not match ^JIM or
^MARY_BETH_JONES)
- The function will only replace the first incidence of the target
substring. In the eventuality that the target substring value appears
multiple times in the string being processed, all other instances will be
left unchanged.
- All other contents of the string being processed can vary without impact
on the function.
Thanks Murray, and Brian - both excellent and I'm really grateful for
the help! Clueless when it comes to these types of problems, so
thanks very much,

$var_from_the_result_query_on_table2. some more html text
shows up just like that, no data from table2 is processed. I know
that I am probably using the wrong function, but I can't seem to find
one.
And the reason I use SELECT * is that there is more than one field I
need to output. There is only one in the example so that the post
wouldn't be to voluminous.

- outputting the value of $show_var in the html that follows
or
- outputting values from this query:
mysql_query(SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE kind LIKE '20')
from what i can tell, you never actually retrieve values from this
second query.
if the issue is displaying $show_var, you should put a debug in
between these two points, e.g.:
{
$show_var = $record['text'];
}
$debug = 4;
if ($debug 3) {
print show_var: $show_varP\n;
}
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE kind LIKE '20');
so that you actually know that your first data query/retrieval has
worked.
separately, why are you doing a select * when, in the first case
at least, you seem to only want the value from the field text. if
you only want values from specific fields you should enumerate them
on the select as a select * is very inefficient. also, using the
like operator, when you really should be using the = operator
isn't efficient either.

Subject: [PHP] Variables in stored txt
Hi. I have a problem that consist of a desire to use preformatted
text in a while-loop while inserting data from another search. The
code is as follows:
$get_var1 = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id LIKE '1'
LIMIT 1);
while($record=mysql_fetch_assoc($get_var1))
{
$show_var = $record['text'];
}
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE kind LIKE '20');
while($record=mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
echo html
head
meta http-equiv='content-type' content='text/
html;charset=iso-8859-1'
titletest/title
/head
body bgcolor='#ff'
table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='2'
cellpadding='0' height='50'
tr
tdimg
src='../../../Media/HMLogo.gif' alt='' height='40' width='147'
border='0'/td
td/td
td/td
/tr
/table
table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='2'
cellpadding='0'
tr height='526'
td width='100%' height='600'
.$show_var.
/td
/tr
/table
/body
/html;
print
script type='text/javascript'
window.print();
/script;
}
_
Needles to say, I hope, that it doesn't work!

Is your query failing? You're not doing any error checking, like this...
$myQuery = SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id LIKE '1' LIMIT 1 ;
if(!($myResults = mysql_query($myQuery, $myConnection))){
echo mysql_error() . \n;
exit();
}
while($record=mysql_fetch_array($myResult)){
$show_var = $record['text'];
}
echo $show_var;

you can install a kit that would enable you to switch from php4 to 5 and viceversa. http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Software_and_Servers/Installation_Kits/index.html Or if you have both installations in your computer already im sure you can point your development software to use the right php.exe -- ...helmut helmutgranda.com bruce [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] hey.. is there a way to 'go back' to php4 if i have php5 installed? i have a website/app that i want to test, and it requires php4. can anybody tell me if there's some config option that i can set to basically only use the php4 environment for the test app... i want php5 to be used for all the other apps... thanks -bruce [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Do you get anything with:

[PHP] FW: write to file, difficulty inputting data
I'm writing customer orders into a file. I'm
1. getting data from session variables and a database,
2. putting it into a variable called $fileContent
3. then touch($filename);
4. then writing $fileContent to $filename - the code is at the bottom
The test versions of this have all gone well.
The file must contain the data in a preset format. All the data is on
one line (no line breaks) and each field has a preset limit, The file is
FTPed and the data parsed.
So far so good. It works with one customer order
Now when I want to write multiple customer orders it doesn't work?
Abbreviated code is below
// CODE FOR MULTIPLE ORDERS
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ))
{
$theItemID=$row[orderedItems.itemID];
$theItemPrice=$row[itemPrice];
$theItemQty=$row[itemQty];
$thisItemID= sprintf(% 6d,$theItemID);
$thisItemPrice= sprintf(%7.2f,$theItemPrice);
$thisItemQty= sprintf(% 7d,$theItemQty);
$moreContent=
\n .
20 .
$thisOrder .
$thisItemID .
$thisItemPrice .
$thisItemQty . \n;
}
//END CODE
// CODE BELOW IS FOR WRITE TO FILE
// Make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if (is_writable($filename)) {
// Open $filename in write mode.
if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w')) {
echo Cannot open file ($filename);
exit;
}
// Write $fileContent to opened file.
if (fwrite($handle, $fileContent) === FALSE) {
echo Cannot write to file ($filename);
exit;
}
fclose($handle);

It sounds complicated, I know, but I hope I make myself clear. English is not my native language. What happens is, that the $show_var IS displayed.
