[PHP] assigning to $this in constructor?
I think I was once able to assign to the $this reference in the constructor of a php class. I don't seem to be able to do this anymore. Is this new in 4.3? Is there anyway to alter what object is returned from a php class constructor? For instance, there might have been an error so you would return an error object instead of the requested object.

RE: [PHP] gmtime?

Uh, no, actually now I'm more confused! I can understand that you're confused. :-) Or am I? As I understand it, a Unix timestamp is *always* the number of seconds since 1-Jan-1970 GMT (the Unix epoch), and so is always a GMT time. Imho no, because 1-Jan-1970 GMT is just the starting point, the result depends on which timezone your server is located in. Please correct me if I'm wrong here! Any function that converts between local time and a Unix timestamp therefore has to take the current timezone (and any daylight-savings rules) into account. This is why there are two versions of mktime() and date(), but only one time(). Cheers!

RE: [PHP] PHP compared to JSP
JSP does not ever run in the browser. JSP is a server side technology designed to compete with ASP. PHP is similar in that it too is a server side language and can be embedded into html pages. Java tends to be considerably slower than PHP but the Java folks have made great strides towards overcoming this. As far as compiling scripts, both Java and PHP are capable of doing this if the correct software is installed on the server. In PHP's case this is the Zend Optimizer - in the case of Java, I am not certain but I think this would require a Sun web server; both solutions cost $$$. However, as far as PHP is concerned there are many open source free caching solutions available. This is perhaps true for Java as well. Unless your site is going to get many users per second this is probably not necessary. Ultimately, running LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) will cost less and is probably faster. Many solutions, to my knowledge, requiring Java cost $$$ while LAMP is completely Open source. (Read the licenses for more info).

Grab the file using a script that is run by Cron, assuming your are on a Linux type system. Grab it every 5 minutes or something. Store/cache it on your web server.

RE: [PHP] include, include_once bug or feature ?
I think that since you are including a file into a function - the vars
become local so they only exist when the function is running. Therefore,
a call to get_defined_vars will not show them since the vars do not
exist in the global scope. In fact, during the call to get_defined_vars,
the included vars do not exist at all.
This is a feature, not a bug.

RE: [PHP] How should I cache database data for php?
My experience has been that large sites that need lots of db and file access and that are heavily trafficked use a file caching solution. Results of db queries and dynamic pages are loaded into flat files which the client then browses. This is the type of system used by sites that get in the millions of hits per month. It's simple and it works. Generally the database is the bottle neck. Using a file cache system avoids using the db. Pretty straightforward. The other strategy is to scale the hardware which is wise also. Sites that get that many hits are generating $$$ so the cost of hardware is cheap for them. They may have several gigs of memory per server and very fast processors. These machines can handle very large peaks in activity.

Hello, Jeff Bearer wrote: I want the app to query the caching layer just about the same way it queries the database, but add a few other details, time to live, cache name etc. The caching layer will check to see if the query is cached, make sure it's not expired, and return the data just like a result set from the db query. If it is expired, or doesn't exist then it will query and create the cache file for next time. I'm leaning toward storing the data in XML, and kicking around the idea of storing it on a ram disk so it would have killer fast access time. XML? Why? In my experience, using XML for things that need to scale is a major mistake. If you want to serve HTML, why storing data in XML? You will need to parse and transform it in HTML which only makes things much worse than just storing data in nicely normalized database tables.

RE: [PHP] Can you fake a onClick?
Please turn off your read receipt request in your email client. It's
very annoying.
Create a redirect page using php.
Something like
?
// log your hits here. Then...
header(Location: $QUERY_STRING);
?
Using a url such as:
http://www.domain.com/redirect.php?/someurl/somefile.ext
You should be able to track each file requested on your site this way.
Well, that's one way to do it anyway. Perhaps it will give you an
idea...

Yes: a href=javascript:CountIt('actual link here')Text/a
And in ClickIt you'll have to append
if (goto) {
window.location=goto;
}
Obviously, you'll have to redefine ClickIt() to ClickIt(goto)
I don't know if all the code is 100% accurate, but that's definitely
the
direction to go. You may have to change the JavaScript code to
parent.window.location=goto if you use frames.

[PHP] - References Clarification Please -
Hi,
I'm just trying to get my head around references and the uses etc... I
have reviewed the manual section on this a few times but I'm still a bit
fuzzy on it.
First of all, here's some code I'm using to pass a reference to an
object (which has global scope) to the constructor of a class Site:
function Site($dbObj)
{
$this-db = $dbObj;
}
I think what should happen here is that $this-db is now a reference to
the global version of the object, by way of the in the function
defn. Is this correct?
Also, I'm not sure about the benefits of using references as opposed to
copies. If anyone would like to elaborate on the reasons for using a
reference instead of a copy, please do so; it would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Matt Friedman

Re: [PHP] Total Newbie - concatenating variables.
Try:
for($i=0;$i$count;$i++)
{
// in the global array, print the variable with the name: item$i
print $GLOBALS[item$i];
}
or even:
for($i=0;$i$count;$i++)
{
// in the post vars array, print the variable with the name: item$i
// this one is probably more secure.
print $HTTP_POST_VARS[item$i];
}
Also, as an aside, unlike concatenation in vbscript (blech) you don't have
to break out of quotes all the time. That's because like in perl, php
variables within double quotes are interpolated.
So instead of writing:
print(input type=text name=item . $i . );
you may write:
print (input type=text name=item$i);
Further, you don't need parenthesis with the print statement so you can
write:
print input type=text name=item$i;
It's just a matter of preference, but I think it looks cleaner.
When concatenating several variables together into a string this can save a
ton of keystrokes and is easier to read and maintain.

Matt.

Subject: [PHP] Total Newbie - concatenating variables.
Hi,
This is my first foray into PHP (coming from a VB, ASP background). What I
am trying to do should be ridiculously easy, but for some reason I can't
figure out how to do this.
I have a form that builds a dynamic number of text boxes in a loop:
for($i=0;$i$count;$i++)
{
print(input type=text name=item . $i . );
}
that works fine. I end up with a number of textboxes named item0,
item1,
item2 and so on...When I submit the form, I pass over the $count value
and
I want to loop through the count so that I can ge the value for each
textbox
by building the textbox name dynamically. For example:
for($i=0;$i$count;$i++)
{
print($item . $i);
}
Trying to print the value of $item0, $item1, etc...Obviously this
doesn't work. What am I overlooking here?
Many thanks in advance,
Dave

Subject: [phplib] Sessions in windows
I have just installed phplib on my Windows ME and have used the test files
for session management and everything appears to be working fine except
the
Per Session Data counter does not increase when I reload the page.
The strange thing is though that if I edit the php source code and then
reload the page the counter increase to the correct number.
Any ideas?

Re: [PHP] Netscape 4.77 and PHP
This is almost always an html problem, not a php one. If a table tag or something isn't closed properly netscape will show a blank screen. IE is more (too) forgiving and assumes it knows where you meant to put the tag. Check your html and you'll fix it.

[PHP] PHP.net is slow
I don't know about everyone else but I've found that since the changeover to the new design of the php.net site, it's been very unreliable. I used to be able to look up a function in seconds if I didn't quite remember the usage. Now, I find that the doesn't won't even come up at times. Other times the search is very slow. If others have noticed this perhaps we can alert the developers to the situation. How about a downloadalbe version of the site?

Re: [PHP] Executing a PHP file to write an html file
If you have the php cgi installed you can run a script like so:
exec("php -q /path/to/script.php")
You didn't include the command (php -q), you only included the path to the
script.
If you don't have the cgi, but you are running on *nix you can
exec("lynx http://www.host.com/script.php")
assuming lynx is installed.
Instead of exec, why not just include the script you want to run in your
page?

etc..
If I hit static.php from the command line, index.html gets written just
fine. static.php does it's job.
If I try to exec(), or system() static.php from a browser the browser
just hangs. eg. I add:
system ('/usr/local/bin/php web/h16/docs/index.html);
or
exec ('/usr/local/bin/php web/h16/docs/index.html);
To a file and get nothing. I tried with and without the absolute paths
in the commands.
What I want to be able to do is every time I update a Db, at the same
time I want the index page to be rewritten to reflect the changes in
the Db. And I don't want to have to go to the command line everytime I
want to rewrite the index page. So I would just hit "SAve" in the
update.php page, it would save to the Db, which it does now, and at the
same time it hits static.php and therefore rewrites index.html
I also tried header() but that was no good due to echo in the pages,
gives that header already sent error.
Is there a funtion I am missing somehwere that does the job?
It's a Unix box running php 4.03, and the Db is MySQL
Thanks Much!!
Is it possible you have a permissions problem? Remember that your
webserver will probably be running as something like nobody, which may
not have the necessary permissions to wwrite to files in that particular
directory.

Re: [PHP] Search Engines
There are a few things that can help you get indexed by the search engines if you are using a server side scripting language. 1. Try to avoid passing variables in the get string. That is, the stuff after the "?" in a url. 2. If you want a page indexed, don't redirect from that page to another page. The search spider will not follow the redirect. Other than that, I can't think of more things that a spider wouldn't like that have to do with php. If there are more, please correct me.

Re: [PHP] Environment extract
print $HTTP_USER_AGENT; // the variable is already in the global scope.
also $ua = getenv('HTTP_USER_AGENT');
Most variables are automatically made a part of the environment in a PHP
script. It's one of the ways PHP makes scripting easier.
The online manual is invaluable for this type of info. http://www.php.net/
Also, write a short script and run it as so:
? phpinfo(); ?
You'll see a myriad of variables and their values. It's also handy for
debugging. You can include phpinfo() anywhere to see the output values of
your script.

In perl the code to extract browser info is:

What is the equivalent code in PHP.

Re: [PHP] Get info to a perl script and then continue without going to that perl script.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php
$return = exec("/pathtocgi/script.cgi VAR1 VAR2 ");
if you want the data returned, its in $return.
If there are multiple lines returned, you'll only get the last line in
$return.
See the manual link to get the full info.

[PHP] Seg Fault with fopen
Here's a function I'm trying to use to execute a php and then read the html.
I've tried the actual hostname instead of localhost but that's not working
either.
It's causing a segmentation fault. I'm running linux apache php 4.0.4
Any thoughts?
function get_web_page_desc($filename)
{
$uri = 'http://localhost'.get_web_page_uri($filename);
$fp = fopen($uri, 'r');
$contents = fread($fp, 36 );
// do stuff with contents
return strip_tags($para);

[PHP] Regex Masters: Please inspect this regex- Pulling urls out of page
I'm putting together a regex to pull all of the urls out of a web page. Not
the href tag, but just the url part of that tag.
Here's what I've come up with:
preg_match_all('/.*href\s*=\s*(\"|\')?(.*?)(\s|\"|\'|)/i', $html,
$matches);
foreach($matches[2] as $m) print "P$m\n";
All regex masters please tell me if I'm missing something. It's working
well, but I'm still learning about perl regex and I'd like any input if at
all possible.
What's a good way to exclude things like javascript: urls and other non URI
info? I guess what I'm really looking for is all the http urls, no ftp, mms
etc... or anything like that.
If it's right, then hopefully someone can use it!

[PHP] Calling Perl from PHP -- Help --
I'm stumped. I've searched all over and can't figure this one out. I have a perl script that waits for input on the command line. You type in a string and it returns a string.

[PHP] OT mod_rewrite says goodbye to POST vars (but interesting)
Well, not being able to find much help on mod_rewrite, I hoped some guru here might be able to help me. I'm using mod rewrite to do a pretty simple redirect (or rewrite that it) to a php page that parses the original url and allows for the output of all sorts of content. Works great apart from the fact that the POST vars are lost along the way. And I believe the cookie vars too, but get seems to be ok. So, does anyone know how to do url redirection or rewriting or whatever that allows the post vars to be maintained? Please don't refer me to tim's article on phpbuilder on the subject as I've read every word twice and all the annotations to no avail. Many thanks as always.

Re: [PHP] PHPLIB and PHPMyAdmin
Since phpmyadmin doesn't use an include path and an auto prepend file but phplib does, what we do is run them under separate sub directories. Under the phplib subdir we use an .htaccess to specify the phplib directives needed to make it run and under the phpmyadmin subdir we don't specify anything since phpmyadmin doesn't require this. What we don't do is put the phplib .htaccess with it's directives under the web root "/". That way we can specify varying configurations under various sub directories. So, you can have magic quotes on under one dir and off under another. Use .htaccess for configuration. best of both worlds.
