[PHP] fopen: space character in filename
Hello all, this seems like an easy question, but I could sure as hell couldn't find any responces to it through initial searched. I am running php on an XP system and I need to open a file contained with a set of directories which may or may not have a space character; so for example: fopen (X:\Dont Talk\About\My Momma\please.txt, x); I tried using \ characters, no luck (even attempted to cancel out the backspace characters ala \\ and http space code %20, and still nothing.)

[PHP] Migration to PHP5
Hi, Does anyone have stats in terms of migration from 4 to 5, specifically I'd like to know if the bulk of PHP developers have begun to change-over. I am (was) a Java developer, but have been doing freelance/consultant work in PHP for two years and am still developing on PHP4 platform. I remember when PHP4 was introduced (while I was still in college), and I made the transition to it immediately, but I have refrained from doing so for 5, since most development gigs are still working with 4. Basically I am wondering if it would be advantageous to make the switch; on another note, with PHP5's stronger OO model, I am considering moving from page-centric to an MVC model, but it seems there are a million MVC frameworks available and haven't had any experience with them.

[PHP] gzuncompress mysql blob field
Heya guys, I've ran into a problem that I just can't seem to get around. Basically I am storing file contents in a compressed format (gzcompress -at 9) in my database -- why -- basically to affect a search of said content using keywords retrieved via an input source (it could be any, doesn't really matter). Anyways, all works fine, until the blob size reaches about 64kb, then my script (and box) just completely crap out -- the page eventually gets forwarded to a page cannot be found after a while (and this is even if I have set my max_execution_time to like 5 seconds). Ok, so I theorized it may be a memory consumption problem, so I played around with the memory_limit directive in upwards of 100mg, and I still get the problem. It's very wierd.. it works just fine if the blob size is below 64kb, but just craps out when it is =. Oh yeah, xp box.

Still playing around.. if I remove the gzuncompress function.. it works
perfectly. hmm.. it looks something like this
$resultRecords = 2-dimensional set of associative records from database
query (i use the pear db class)
foreach ($resultRecords as $record)
{
$fileContent = gzuncompress ($record[compress_content]); // this
statement causes problems when compress content 64kb
$fileContent = $record[compress_content]; // this statement works just
dandy

[PHP] interesting problem with zlib/ob_gzhandler compression
I have ran into a rather interesting problem while zlib or gzip compression is enabled on my site. I have an external javascript-php file (a javascript file that is dynamically generated as in filename.js.php) which is included in the main template using the script element (for example script src=filename.js.php/script). This file defines variables that are used to populate a javascript drop-down menu. With compression turned on, from time-to-time, I get a javascript error basically saying that certain variables have not been defined. At other times it works perfectly; this phenomenom appears to be completely random. My theory is, with compression turned on (via php.ini), the external php file does not get placed into the output buffer until some point in time after the currently executing script has been compressed. The reason being, is that the file is not included into the script using a php require construct, but rather via HTML's script element. I have played with this forever, and I have not found a solution. Has anyone else ran into this problem; any suggetions or comments are greatly welcomed.

Re: [PHP] check if user session exists
Yeah, my solution so far has been to check the last modified time of the
session file and then go from there. If the modified time is then time
permitted, then that file is removed and the user's session is rendered null
and void. What I am doing is allowing a variable X number of user's to
simultaneously log-in under the same user/pass combo (account), and the
problem I face is, if none of the user's logs-out, then how will I determine
when to pop an inactive account off the stack. Good times.. thanks guys

It depends on your definition of 'active.' If you wanted to see if the

that is possible. Following is a script I've used to help debug sessions
sometimes. While it's not what you're asking for, it may help you figure

Re: [PHP] mysql question
Well let me try and describe a simplified version of what I am doing. I work for a group of analysts, and they analyse technical products. Each products has about 300+ fields associated with it, and each product is vastly different from the other. Let's say the product foo has a table fields associated with it, which describes each field in foo (its name, description, type[float,boolean,text], order) and another table called data_foo which is 300+ fields in length. Each record in data_foo represents the technical specfiications of a single company/manufacturer. So if there are 200+ companies, there will be at least one data_foo record associated with it (in reality there is a one to many association between a company and the number of technical specifications they have defined).There are many different applications designed around the tables foo and data_foo, and course the relationships are slightly more involved, but I digress. Each new product specification requires that I create a new table to hold that data, and with new product specifications being created every month, you see that the N number of tables will increase. If I store that data in the fields table or create a table that has 1-many relationship with it, I endup with thousands and thousands of records (Remember, each product has 300+ fields associated with it, and each company has at least on product specfication, and the N number of products continues to increase).

Re: [PHP] mysql question
Hey Mike, That is almost exactly what I am doing. I have a table, lets say product_fields which describes each characteristic/field of a product (with N possible fields). A definition of a field includes, its name (as the customer see's it), its type, a named-reference to the field in the data table, and of course the id of the particular product. The products_data table is composed of fields sequentially labeled from f1 to fn, and contains the actual data. The only difference being that I am creating a new products_data table for each product (so something like products_data_$productid), as opposed to storing all field data in a singular large table. So the real question is, is it favorable to have one large table with N number of fields (products * fields), or N number of smaller tables (N products). I have absolutely no idea, but I will do some digging myself. Thanks for the help Christian Miles Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Christian, I did a bit of digging in the MySQL docs to try and find the limits on number of fields in a table, etc. Didn't have much luck. I would not worry about thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of rows in a table for two reasons. First MySQL is becoming a heavier-duty database, and second, when the proper indexes are used it is blindingly fast at retrievals. Apparently the database engine also handles a large number of tables quite well. When tables will be multiplying like bunnies, as you posit here, I foresee major code headaches. I've thought about following type of design but have never implemented it. Might it work in your situation? Maybe this is what you are already doing, and I've just relabelled it. If so, please accept my apologies. Have standard tables for the basic stuff.: company, with co_key, address fields etc; products with prod_key, co_key, prod_name, etc. Have two other tables, let's call them prod_descriptors and prod_data. We're violating one of Codd's principles here because the prod_data table has meaningless field names, just f1, f2, f3, f4 ... fn. How you sort out which data types to use is your business. Prod_descriptors contains the meta information which makes prod_data useful. Its fields, at a minimum, would be prod_key, prod_characteristic, prod_data_field. For a given prod_key M56H there would be a record for each product characteristic which you have to track, and the field used in prod_data. This may be a somewhat extreme example, as it is highly likely that there are a common characteristics for all products, so things would not have to be totally generalized. This design is also somewhat wasteful of disk space, but MySQL does a remarkable job, internally, of conserving space so it is used efficiently. The thorny issue of which data types to use in what columns hasn't been addressed either. The crunch is whether or not you can ask questions of these tables and fetch the data you need.

When a specify a subdirectory off of my document root, I must include a / forward slash in order for the index page to load, otherwise I get the The page cannot be displayed message. For example, I must type: http://somedomain/phpmyadmin/ instead of http://somedomain/phpmyadmin My only previous experience with configuring apache is on Win machines, where I haven't had this problem before. I know this is off topic but u guys know everything, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

[PHP] mysql or php timestamp arithmatic
Hey everyone, I am writing an application to keep track of employee vacation leave. I have two timestamp(14) database fields, lets call them start and end, signifying when start and end of a vacation leave, respectively. What I am trying to do is get the number of hours between start and end, for example if vacation started at 12pm on wednesday and ended at 5 pm wednesday, then the total should be 5 hours (Of course the date ranges are going to be alot more complicated than that). I attempted to solve this problem in the query, using the following: FLOOR((end-start)/3600) as hours but the values that I am getting are wrong. For example, on what should be a 5 hour span, I am getting back the value 13. Any ideas?

Obviously its an example, otherwise the script wouldn't have even parsed. $regularExpression = '/tr bgcolor=#FF(.|\n)+?\/tr/'; preg_match ($regularExpression, $fileString, $matches) This regular expression causes PHP to crash for me, not a parsing error.

Certainly. It crashes out when attempting to parse large files.

[PHP] isset bug?
Ok, here's the deal. I like to use $_GET and $_POST variables without values
to notify my scripts that some action must be taken. For example, given the
following URL:
http://blahdomain/blah.php?productid=1edit
or given the following form element:
input type=hidden name=edit
My blah.php script will check if edit set using the following line:
if (isset($_REQUEST[edit]))
{
..
}
and then it will take the appropriate actions (lets just say its updating a
record in the database). Locally I am running PHPv4.3.2, and everything
works fine. I have been working on a large web-based application for the
last month, and yesterday I put it up live. Our host unfortunately runs
PHPv4.2.1 and I have no access to the conf files (those bastards) and
globals are set to on. Low and behold, the isset function returns false when
a $_POST or $_GET variable is passed but contains no value, which would be
exactly the same thing as checking the variable itself:
if ($_REQUEST[edit]) { }
What I want and needed to do was check for the existance of the variable,
not whether it has a value. So is this a bug, a feature or just some random
happening? Thank guys

Re: [PHP] session bug or feature
Yeah I figured as much. That sucks that they would both reference the same location in memory even with globals on. Thanks alot for your help, ill figure out a hack around the hack. Christian Calloway Kirk Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Under 4.3.2, and register_globals on, $foo and $_SESSION[foo] both contain a reference that points to the same memory location. So, assigning to either one effectively causes the same assignment in the other. If you can't turn register_globals off, consider making a copy of $_SESSION at the top of the script, then use that copy at the end of the script to restore any session values you need. You could also rename the global variables, e.g., $foo - $g_foo. I don't see an easy way out if you can't turn off register_globals, you are going to have to do some work.

[PHP] Why use XML?
Hi, well Im out of a job so I am sitting around learning XML. It seems like a great tool, but I am trying to figure out why I would actually use it? All it does is seperate content and data, albeit on the client, but that is what I have been doing with Smarty and MySQL for awhile now. Why would I choose to parse XML documents with PHP and do transformations on the server, it sounds terribly inefficient and complicated, as opposed to just pulling data out of a database. I also realize that I can generate XML dynamically (ie include PHP code in an actual XML template) by editing my Apache config, but that is not always an option and what would be the point? It would just add another layer of content/data seperation that would have to processed on the other end.

In PHP 4.0 you can call member functions of other classes from within
member functions or from within the global scope. You can now, for instance,
override a parent function with a child function, and then call the parent
function from it.
But how do you do it? From the following syntax:
class childclass extends parentclass
..
function overridenFunction()
{
// call parent function wich this function overrides.
$this-overridenFunction()
...
}
Would the method being calling the parent method or would it be calling

[PHP] PHPDOC 2.3.5 released
Hi everyone, I released a new version of PHPDoc, 2.3.5, and is a major update over previous releases. PHPDoc can now parse multiple class definitions in a single file. For anyone that doesnt know, PHPDoc is documenting tool, that converts PHP code to Java syntax, and then hands that result over Javadoc. What this means is, instead of trying to copy Javadoc's functionality, PHPDoc actually uses Javadoc for the creation of docs. This means all of Javadoc's power and options are available to use on our PHP code. And since PHPDoc's only job is to parse and convert PHP code, the program has an extremely small footprint (only 73kb).

What this means is that all the options and power of Javadoc is available to my program, you can use any Javadoc option, doclet, @tag or whatever in phpdoc and in your source and the resulting documentation will be no different then if an actual .java file were passed to Javadoc. All is explained in greater detail at my site, and in instructions I provide. A final note, the library of Javadoc doclets are also open to you when using phpdoc. For anyone whom doesnt know, doclets are programs written in the Java programming language that specify the content and format of the output of the Javadoc tool. By default, Javadoc uses the Standard doclet which creates the .HTML formatted documentation were all used to. You can provide any doclet you wish however to customize the output however you like. The wealth of third party doclets available at the javasoft site allow you to create for example RTF, PDF, and even Japanese based API documentation. You must have the JDK installed on your system (of which Javadoc comes part of) You can download phpdoc v2.0 at http://www.callowayprints.com/phpdoc/phpdoc.php Thanks Everyone, Christian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
