PHP experts everywhere!!
I am building PHP 5.1.2 on windows without pcre-regex extension. I am
building building pcre independently and then I am building the extension
php_pcre.dll.
I build few other extensions too. I keep the extensions in
c:\php\extensions which is set in php.ini.
I am getting an error that php_pcre.dll extension is invalid or corrupt
whenever php call is being invoked.
I believe I am not building php_pcre.dll extension properly, although any
insights as to what could be the problem. Also is OK to build php
--without-pcre-regex extension at all?
If you don't want the perl-regular expressions, then don't build it.
If you do want them, then the installs list may be able to help you.

Can you run that command from command line? System isn't designed for
interactive steps.
If you can't run a particular command from command line then you can't
run it with system.

So... I'm trying to extend PEAR::DB. It'd be great to keep everything it offers and just add a few more perhaps unconventional functions.
Intuitively, it seemed like this approach might work:
<?PHP
require_once("DB.php");
# Toy Extension of DB Class
class DBToyExt extends DB
{
var $foo = 1;
var $bar = 2;
function testext($x)
{
echo "\nHEY: $x";
}
}
$dte = DBToyExt::connect("mysql://weston_tssa:[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/weston_tssa");
$dte->testext('testing');
$dte->testext($dte->moo);
$dte->testext($dte->bar);
?>
However, it doesn't seem to understand that the method "testext" exists, and
gives me a fatal error to that effect, as you can see:
$dte will only have the return value of DBToyExt::connect() - it won't
allow you to access other methods in the class.
You'll need to:
$dbtoy = new DBToyExt();
$dbtoy->connect(....)
$dbtoy->testext('testing');

Thanks! Works like a charm:
http://weston.canncentral.org/web_lab/mlib/DBToyExt2.php
That's interesting. I think I just sortof expected that since the canonical
invocation is through a statically called method, calling it by dereferencing
a specific object wouldn't work.
Does anyone know if that would also work in PHP 5?
If not, is there another way to do what I'm trying to do?
Thanks,
Weston

In your example, $dte holds whatever DBToyExt::connect returns (whether
that's a connection resource, a boolean, a string - doesn't matter).
It's the same as:
function connect() {
return true;
}
$x = connect();
$x will only hold what 'connect' returns.
If you do:
var_dump($dte);
It won't be an object, so you can't use that to reference other methods
in that (or the parent) class(es).

Ahhh! I'd kept thinking what connect() returned was a db object, but it does
look like
it returns varying objects depending on which database you're using.
Maybe I'd want to extend DB_common instead of DB_mysql, so that the methods
would
be inhereted by any object?

correct

But DB_mysql will not inherit from your object! Look at the source:
class DB_mysql extends DB_common {...}
If you inherit from a class, the parent class will not inherit your (the
child classes) methods. If a class should inherit from your object, it
must explicitly inherit from that class.

PHP can handle it, whether your server will time out with large files
like that I don't know.
Look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php for what
you'll need to change to enable uploads of this size.

Try: http://www.heylove.de/
It walks you through creating your own file upload class and in the end
gives an example of how to use that class.

Ah hah! The plot thickens!
It seems that I can:
1. Launch the app - thereby starting the initial session
2. Leave the session to time out
3. Log in - adding username and permissions to the *non-existant
session*!
4. Log out and voila! error.
So it seems that the session is timing out somewhere along the line, and
when it is going to be re-established, it can't because a fragment(?) of
it still kinda exists - in comes the error regarding cleanup of files.

If you can produce a small test case might be time for a bug report. It
shouldn't give you "permission denied" errors.

Will work on it over the weekend. I am going to try something dead
simple with the session stuff and see what I can do with it. If that
also fails, will do the bug report, but I want to be dead sure before I
start causing trouble for other people!
Thanks for your help!

Hi
I'm trying to go with your idea but I'm having difficulties with
preg_match_all.
I want the text between <?php and ?>. The use of preg_match_all bellow only
Returns text that is in a single line. If the <php is on one line and the ?>
is
A few lines bellow, it does not match.
preg_match_all('/<\?php(.*?)\?>/i',$text,$CodeArray,PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
Thanks.

You could get the php from your page, highlight it and replace it back in:
preg_replace('%<?(.*)?>%s', 'highlight_string(${1})', $content);
don't know if that will work straight out for you but that should give you
an idea on how to proceed.
Or you could temporarily remove them, do whatever then replace it back in:
$placeholders = array();
while(preg_match('%<?(.*)?>%s', $content, $matches)) {
$size = sizeof($placeholders);
$placeholders[$size] = $matches[1];
$content = str_replace($matches[0], '%%PLACEHOLDER['.$size.']%%',
$content);
}
... other processing here.
foreach($placeholders as $i => $text) {
$content = str_replace('%%PLACEHOLDER['.$i.']%%',
highlight_string($text), $content);
}

Try /is
it will treat the string as one huge line.

By default a '.' matches any character except for a newline. If you
want it to match *everything* you have to use the 's' pattern modifier
- just stick an 's' on the very end of your pattern, after the 'i'.

Hi
After some advice (surprise!)
I currently store restricted documents beneath the web root so they are
not accessible via the URL, when a valid user wishes to view a document
i copy it to a temporary folder above the root and load it in a new
page. the only way i can then manage to delete the copy is
automatically deleting all temp files when any user goes to the log out
page.
This is obviously not a very good way of doing this but unless i can
establish when a user is no longer viewing the doc then i dont know when
to delete it. I was wandering how others deal with these problems like this
any advice appreciated greatly

Hi Adrian,
I had the same dilemma on a project I was working on, and came across this:
http://www.vibralogix.com/linklokurl/index.php
It basically adds an authentication code, which can lock the download to an
IP address and also you can limit the life of the URL to a length of time.
You can also store all the documents below the web root.
It's not free, but for $30 dollars it was well worth the investment and
saved me plenty of time!
HTH,
Kev

Hi there,
Quick question on performance:
I have got some expensive sql queries (doing lots of LEFT JOINS) that result
in anything between 10 to 10000 results. I need to do paging on those. So
far I have used a LIMIT solution which will not do anymore because you don't
get the whole total.
Now, the idea is to store the results (or the sql query string?) in the
session to avoid too many db calls (on paging).
The question now is: is the serializing/unserializing more expensive than
another db call?
Thanks,
T
