RE: [PHP] read only?
Is there a simple php way to make a webpage read-only, please? Webpages are already read only. Well, read only in the browser. There is nothing to prevent the user from saving the page and altering to their hearts content. Did you mean to ask if there was a simple way to make a *form* read only? If so, you can simply add the 'readonly' attribute to the form elements (although, that won't work with select boxes, radio buttons or checkboxes, I believe). Also, you can look into PEAR's QuickForm; it has a Freeze Form and Freeze Element feature. thnx, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Generating executable code
Currently, I have an XML file that I load in, parse manually and iterate through the nodes to create objects, etc, using the node values as parameters. This works all well and fine but is a little resource intensive. Now, I can create a XSL template to transform the XML file and output all the PHP code that we are doing manually. However, when the transformation occurs, the result is pretty much just a string as far as PHP is concerned; it isn't executable PHP code. I know I can output the result to a temporary file then include it or I can pass the result to eval() to execute the code, but neither is ideal. Is there another way I can do what I need? Is there a way to 'include' (for the lack of a better term) the result of the XSL transformation such that PHP processes it as it would any other source code? thnx, Chris

RE: [PHP] Pirate PHP books online?
The idea of even offering an electronic version should be to drive sales for the hard copy. Maybe offer a Condensed Version electronically, that has enough content that readers can get enough of a feel for the product to drive a buying decision. Throughout, make reference to the full version having more complete content, complete with an order now link. This method worked well for Readers Digest! Or watermark the .pdf with something that uniquely identifies each copy - this could be done with a script at the time of the order. Maybe the name of the original buyer, or the order number, etc. Doesn't prevent the piracy, but does give traceability should you wish to pursue the pirate.

However, whenever I run the script I wrote doing so, I get the errors Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mime_content_type() and Fatal error: Call to undefined function: filesize() Why?

Oh, I also forgot to ask what do you get when you use stat()? stat() works, but not if I pass in the actual name of the file. I have to use fstat() in order to get the proper data. I'll have to check to see if there are any functions disabled in the php.ini (I don't believe there are any) but if fstat()/stat() work, I'm at a loss to explain why filesize() doesn't... :| or, also, why stat() doesn't work when I use a correct filename. thnx, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Have you uncommented or added `extension=php_mime_magic.dll` in your php.ini file for mime_content_type()?

RE: [PHP] Return or not to return, that is the question
If there is no need to return a value then I don't do so. However, the function is going to process something, and surely you should check that the processing has succeeded or failed? This is precisely the point I was going to make. Unless an argument is passed in by reference for manipulation within the function, I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't want to return a value; true or false at the very least. You call a function to perform, well, a function.

Re: [PHP] sorting multi array
this won't work if he has the same quantity for several keys, I think
Yes, you are correct. If that is the case, then you would just need to
change the following line
$tmpArray[$elArray['quantity']] = $elKey;
to
$tmpArray[$elArray['quantity']][] = $elKey;
then change logic in this loop:
foreach( $tmpArray as $elKey ) {
to handle the additional array. If additional sorting needs to occur for
those keys that have the same quantity then I think recursion will be in
order.

What you want is something like this:

Your example is setting the variable $language to the array for each

Re: [PHP] PHP5 object construct
ok, so if we were talking Java, perhaps you are looking for
information that allows you to build 'accessor' and 'mutator' methods?
If so, then your example should work (syntax aside). Here's another
'test' example that I just whipped up and tested that shows you can
use any method name you wish.
As I said previously, accessor/mutator methods are exactly what I am looking
for. I do like the idea of having a public 'interface' (for the lack of a
better word) to a private property. I don't particularly care for using
just the __set() and __get() methods because they are too arbitrary. If I
needed to do any specific checking or formatting for a property, either in
defining or returning the value, I'd have to have a big giant switch()
statement. So here is a roundabout solution that I got the idea/code for
while researching this issue:
class MyClass {
private $_bob;
// Private so all property access is done through the
// __set() and __get() methods
private function setBob( $bob ) {
$this-_bob = $bob;
}
private function getBob() {
return $this-_bob;
}
function __get( $var ) {
$methodName = 'get' . $var;
if( method_exists( $this, $methodName )) {
return call_user_func( array( $this, $methodName ));
} else {
throw new Exception( 'Method [' . $methodName . '] does not exist' );
}
//echo In __get( $var )\n;
}
function __set( $key, $var ) {
$methodName = 'set' . $key;
if( method_exists( $this, $methodName )) {
call_user_func( array( $this, $methodName ), $var );
} else {
throw new Exception( 'Method [' . $methodName . '] does not exist' );
}
//echo In __set( $key, $var )\n;
}
function __call( $method, $args ) {
//echo 'Calling [' . $method . '] with args: [' . print_r( $args, TRUE )
. ']';
}
}
try {
$myClass = new MyClass();
$myClass-Bob = 'JoeBobBriggs' ;
echo '$myClass: pre' . print_r( $myClass, TRUE ) . '/pre';
echo $myClass-Bob . '';
} catch( Exception $e ) {
echo 'Caught exception: ', $e-getMessage(), \n;
}
Now I can do whatever checking I need to do in the setBob() method and any
formatting in the getBob() method.
The above is not my original idea and I wish I could remember the name of
the person to thank for pointing me in this direction. :|
thnx,
Chris

[PHP] DOM: Problem with loadXML(), createProcessingInstruction()
Apparently, loadXML() overwrites the existing structure of the document when called. The problem is that when I try to add a PI (namely a stylesheet), it adds it to the end of the document thus making so that the XML is not transformed by the client. To get around this, I thought I could just import my XML string into a DOMNode, but I do not see any method for that class analogous to the loadXML(). I looked at the possiblity of adding children to the document at specific positions (such that I could add the PI as the first child) but I do not see a DOMDocument method that allows it. appendChild() merely adds the child to the end of the document.

Re: [PHP] DOMDocument-saveXML()
Perhaps you missed my reply. If you pass the root node then you get the entire document without the XML declaration. That's both elegant and built-in. I didn't miss it. But you have to pass in the root DomNode object. The only way to get it is by doing the following: $nodeList = $doc-getElementsByTagname( 'RootTagName' ); echo $doc-saveXML( $nodeList-item( 0 )); So unless your root node has an ID, that seems pretty excessive. Now you have the wasted resources that $nodeList is using. While it is crude, I believe it is both faster and less resource intensive to just do: echo str_replace( '?xml version=1.0?', '', $doc-saveXML()); It would be really nice if you could also specify a string value -- the name of the root node. I do appreciate the time and effort in reply to my post.

Thanks for your help. thnx, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Going loopy with arrays.....
a. loop through it and recognize when I have com upon a new sub-array so
that I can do 'new' output
2. OR get each of the sub-arrays out as individual arrays.
This might help get you going in the right direction...
script language=php
function print_elements( $var ) {
if( is_array( $var )) {
foreach( $var as $k = $v ) {
if( is_array( $v )) {
print_elements( $v );
} else {
echo $k = $vbr;
}
}
}
}
$array = array();
$array['H7'][] = array( 'lon' = -99.2588, 'lat' = 29.1918 );
$array['H7'][] = array( 'lon' = -99.2205, 'lat' = 29.1487 );
$array['H7'][] = array( 'lon' = -99.242, 'lat' = 29.1575 );
$array['H7'][] = array( 'lon' = -99.2588, 'lat' = 29.1545 );
$array['H6'][] = array( 'lon' = -99.0876, 'lat' = 29.216 );
$array['H6'][] = array( 'lon' = -99.0618, 'lat' = 29.179 );
array_walk( $array, 'print_elements' );
/script

[PHP] addslashes()
Can someone explain something to me: script language=php $string = Bob's carwash's door; echo 'addslashes(): ' . addslashes( $string ) . 'br'; echo 'mysql_escape_string(): ' . mysql_escape_string( $string ) . 'br'; /script Outputs: addslashes(): Bob''s carwash''s door mysql_escape_string(): Bob\'s carwash\'s door According to the documentation (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.addslashes.php), addslashes() should be doing exactly what mysql_escape_string is doing above (namely, add backslashes in front of each apostrophe). However, it's merely adding an additional apostrophe. Why?

Re: [PHP] addslashes()
I totally blew past that part with the sybase because we aren't using sybase. I guess I should have paid more attention.

Re: [PHP] Date question
I have a datetime column in MySQL DB. How can I match to that column from
php code if I only have the date information available.
2006-02-24 12:00:00 against2006-02-24
This might be more SQL question sorry about that.
use date_format(%Y-%m-%d,'date_column') in the sql
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html
The above is likely one of the more elegant solutions. But if you wanted to
do this
completely in PHP, you could do something like:
pseudocode
$phpDate = '2006-02-24';
$rowData = mysql_fetch_assoc( $yourQuery );
if( date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime( $rowData['MySQLDate'] )) == $phpDate )) {
echo 'Dates match!';
}
/pseudocode

Re: [PHP] Static and Global at the same time!
Can I have a variable that is static and global at the same time within a
function?
Let's say I have:
$data = ;
function newdata() {
static global $data;
$data [$i] = $newdatatobestored_inthearray;
}
Isn't a global variable static within the function by it's nature of being
global? Making it so that the static keyword is superfluous?
Hmmm... Well, that is, of course, assuming that the function is the only
place the variable is ever modified...
thnx,

Re: [PHP][SOLVED] Re: usr VAR value as a VAR Name
echo $$foo
Let me start by saying there is nothing wrong with the above and it's doing
exactly what the OP needed. However, when I use variable variables, I
prefer to use the following notation:
${$foo}
It makes the coder's intention clear and makes it so that it can't be
mistaken for a possible typo when someone comes in after the fact to
maintain the code.

Btw. my working buddys said on first view your example looked more wrong.
Try it and see. ;)
And on top of that, i wont let anyone code in my PHP docs who doesn't know
what $$var is or does!!
Agreed. But there have been a few times when I accidently added in an
extra $ to the variable and, consequently, didn't get the results I
expected.

[PHP] Regular Expression help
I've been beating my head against the wall for a while trying to come up with the RE I need to use. I have a camel case word - let's use JimJoeBobBriggs. I need to come up with a RE that will fine all the upper case characters and insert an underscore prior to those characters with the exception of a possible first character. So using the aforementioned word, the RE would change it to Jim_Joe_Bob_Briggs. Any help would be greatly appreciated! thnx, Chris

Re: [PHP] Timezone and DST
I've got a little problem where our servers are in PST but the
customer operates in Hawaii (-10 GMT). I believe I can just get the
time for them by doing something like
date(d H i, strtotime('now -2 hours') );
But here's the catch, how should I deal with day light savings ( DST)
. In hawaii they don't observer DST, but in Washington State we do.
You can use date( 'I' ) to determine whether or not your server is
currently in DST and subtract the appropriate number of hours
accordingly...

Re: [PHP] quickly discovered why refresh isn't nice
hello, I just found out why one reason for a meta refresh is a bad idea, it does exactly that, it refreshes the page every 3 or 2 or 0 seconds which basically is constant..so maybe the header idea is better in this case. While this is very true, what is typically the case when you use meta refresh is that you are using it to redirect a user to a subsequent page. In that case, so long as that final page doesn't use meta refresh, it isn't an issue. thnx, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] What software do you use for writing PHP?
I primarily code in Dreamweaver 8. Two of my favorite features that were added from MX are as follows: 1. Code folding, basically you can collapse blocks of code. SlickEdit has this feature. 2. The built in FTP client. This one as well. I used Dreamweaver a while back (admittedly an older version) but I couldn't stand it. But that's IMO. thnx, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] What software do you use for writing PHP?
When you say SlickEdit has a ftp client built in, is it a separate window that gets launched, or is it more integrated, like you can just right click on your list of files and say put these files up on the server. It's integrated. thnx, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
