Thank you very much Curt!, I'm tests right now with this. The client is not
a web browser, it is an application that calls the .php file with $_GET
params, and the app waits to receive the file compressed, this is the way I
want it to work!

I'll let u know about this. But anyway thank you

Rafa

PS: what is that ob_start though?

Unlike my recent posts, this could be a candidate for using ob_*

There is no need to compress it first, just use ob_start('ob_gzhandler');

if the client supports a compression method, no special things are
needed and the content sent is compressed otherwise it is sent without
compression.

see http://php.net/ob-gzhandler for more info.

HTH,
Curt.

[/snip]

Because the function osc_draw_checkbox_field() was called from
/path/to/shop/install/templates/pages/install.php on line 24 and does
not appear to exist. Look at install.php on line 24 and then follow the
trail back to where the function should exist. There are probably some
include files above line 24. 

Oscommerce has forums at http://forums.oscommerce.com/

I searched for osc_draw_checkbox_field() in the form and came up with

http://forums.oscommerce.com/index.php?act=Search&CODE=simpleresults&sid
=910579afc7e9c2d09ea1c8d7e3b250f2&highlite=osc_draw_checkbox_field%28%29

which appears to be a pretty in depth discussion of the error at hand. I
have decided not to post that discussion here because this e-mail would
become unnecessarily long and is pretty much an osCommerce issue rather
than a PHP issue.

Can we do anything else for you today?

Hi all,

Is there any way to remove a non-unique* *node using SimpleXML?
For example, let's say I have:

$myXML = <<ENDXML
<database ...>
 <table name='one'>
     ...
 </table>
 <table name='two'>
     ...
 </table>
 <table name='three'>
     ...
 </table>
</database>
ENDXML;


So I want to do...

$xmlDatabase = new SimpleXMLElement($myXML);
foreach ($xmlDatabase as $oneTable)
{
  if ($oneTable['name'] == 'two')
  {
     ///  ---- HERE I WANT TO DELETE THE $oneTable NODE
     unset($oneTable);   // <-- and this doesn't work...
  }
}


any ideas?

I tried to do the same a while back and could not figure it out. I think
that SimpleXML is just that - simple. You should rather try using DOMXML
functions, or as I did, roll an XML parser and do it like that.

Why can't you just recreate the XML and skip the node you don't want to
include?  So something like below:

foreach ($xmlDatabase as $oneTable)
{
    // skip node you don't want in your final xml output
    if ($oneTable['name'] != 'two')
    {
        ....
    }
}

Yes, I agree. SimpleXML is limited.
Do not expect to find advanced features in SimpleXML.

I found sample code. Hope this helps.


       $doc = new DOMDocument;
       if (!is_dir($source_dir)) {
           $logger->fatal("Source directory IN is not found.
Terminating...");
            die("Source directory IN is not found. Terminating...");
       }
       $doc->Load($source_dir . "/" . $xmlfilename);
       $xpath = new DomXPath($doc);

       // Find parent node
       $parent = $xpath->query($parent_path);

       // new node will be inserted before this node
       $next = $xpath->query($next_path);

       // Create the new element
       $contentidelement = $doc->createElement('source_id', $contentid);
       $element = $doc->createElement('fallback', 'true');
       $secondelement = $doc->createElement('fallback_locale',
$originatingLocale);

       // Insert the new element
       $parent->item(0)->insertBefore($contentidelement, $next->item(0));
       $parent->item(0)->insertBefore($element, $next->item(0));
       $parent->item(0)->insertBefore($secondelement, $next->item(0));

       //remove the language_code node.
       $parent->item(0)->removeChild($next->item(0));

       // append new node
       $newNode = $doc->createElement("language_code",
$currentfallbacklocale);
       $parent->item(0)->appendChild($newNode);

any ideas?


The answer is simple, everybody else seems to have missed it. foreach() makes a copy of the array before working on it. Changes made to $oneTable would obviously never affect the original. You're just unsetting a temporary variable that's going to be overwritten next time through the loop anyhow.

You should have better luck with this code:

$xmlDatabase = new SimpleXMLElement($myXML);
foreach ($xmlDatabase as $key => $oneTable)
{
  if ($oneTable['name'] == 'two')
  {
     ///  ---- HERE I WANT TO DELETE THE $oneTable NODE
     unset($xmlDatabase[$key]);
  }
}

What that is doing is having foreach also get the key of the array element that $oneTable represents. It then does the unset() on the original table instead of the copy. Remember that all array elements have keys, even if you didn't set one or it doesn't look like they should. In this case, you don't know what the key is internally, and you don't care either.

The answer is simple, everybody else seems to have missed it. foreach()
makes a copy of the array before working on it. Changes made to

fwiw, In php5 you can do something like:

foreach ($xmlDatabase as $key => &$oneTable)
                //note the & ------------------^^^^
 unset($oneTable);

M. Sokolewiczz, Stut,

Thank you for your answers. Both are very helpful.

I will use the trim() method, although it's helpful to know the regular expression for learning purposes.

Unless I can find a way to make things much more complicated.

Your time and advice is much appreciated.

Hi

I would like to output an image from php where an input image is textured and wrapped around a frame. Like when you assemble a canvas on a frame (on, not under). So I get a sort of canvas looking texture on the image and that the edges of the image are wrapped around the sides of the frame in a 3d-ish look.

Do you understand what I mean? Is this somehow possible? I guess I would use gd and maybe a transparent png to get the texture, or am I way off? The wrapping thing I have no clue how to make.

Thanks for your time!

Regards Emil

Hi

Thanks, but what I meant with wrapping around a frame was this:
http://www.proformat.se/gfx/pic_006_kilram.jpg

Not just a normal frame around the image.

Emil

Emil:

Yes, that can be done by simply merging images (i.e., watermark). For example:

http://xn--ovg.com/watermark

The texture image should be to some degree transparent and the frame simply larger OR be added via css.

Dude, an image is an image. You're not wrapping anything -- you're just producing an image that looks a certain way.

My first example did not just put a frame around an image, it merged two images. If I had wanted to put a frame around your image, I would have done this:

http://xn--ovg.com/pframes

Incidentally, styles #4 and #2 put a shadow around it, which could be expanded to mimic what I think you want.

I suggest that you back up and re-read what I said.

Your description is pretty ambiguous, so I'm going to take a guess...

I think what you're talking about is essentially doing 3D rendering. Taking an abitrary shape made of polygons (the "frame") and wrapping a texture around it to form a "3d-ish look"ing object...?

I'm not familiar with any way of doing it, but:
- http://pear.php.net/package/Image_3D might be a start
- http://www.icarusindie.com/DoItYourSelf/rtsr/php3d/ has a pretty neat little writeup on how to do software 3D rendering in PHP. You could use the same principles to do 3D.

Hi again

Sorry if I was unclear what I wanted was of course what Jon Anderson said. I wanted what was pictured in the image I posted (the look of wrapping a canvas over a frame) with some kind of fake or simple 3d rendering. The pear libs for doing it seems like what I was looking for, I hope it will look good and that it's fast/easy enough for me to implement.

Thanks both of you.

Not intentional Opera lockout -- it should be easily fixed. I was working with this a few months ago, just never got around to finishing.

Hello list,
I'm developing an application that fetches some files from a local svn repository, and shows them on request (using svn cat, svn list and such). Originally, it was deployed in Linux (Apache, PHP5.0) and worked perfectly well. I tried to port it to Windows (specifically, WinXP Pro SP2, PHP5, IIS5), and because it depends on many command line utilities, i decided to install cygwin. After struggling a bit, i got it working. The thing is that, when executing any cygwin svn command (via shell_exec), many command windows pops up appears on the windows desktop, making the sistem quite slow during the process. I realized that, this happens because of shell_exec opening a new shell on every command call, i tried the other exec functions, but the same happened. I wonder if it is posible to launch those commands in a silent manner.


Thanks,


Mariano.-

There is a windows port of Subversion, and the GNU utilities you're referring to have mostly been ported to Windows without the use of cygwin (see gnuwin32). Do you really need to rely on cygwin?

Regards, Adam Zey.

--- End Message ---

There is a windows port of Subversion, and the GNU utilities you're referring to have mostly been ported to Windows without the use of cygwin (see gnuwin32). Do you really need to rely on cygwin?

so the question is does it pass local tests, which should be rather
simple, the domain part gets rather complcated since you cant predict
at what domain level we are talking about:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The last email address is not valid because it has no TLD (top level domain) -- that's probably just an omission error.

One thing to add to this topic is multilingual domains, which use PUNYCODE. This is a technique that uses ASCII characters to represent Unicode code points -- a mapping and look-up function.

For IE browsers and many email programs (in fear of homographic attacks) do not translate multilingual domains properly. Instead, multilingual domains will be shown with a "xn--" prefix, such as:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]<whatever>.TLD

Like:

http://xn--ovg.com

This prefix is probably the last one to be used, but it was not the first.

PUNYCODE was never meant to be seen by the end user, but M$ had other ideas -- if your native language is other than English, apparently M$ doesn't care. IMO, that's a giant step backwards for true global access to the Internet, but I digress.

So, in any evaluation to determine valid email addresses, one should also consider "xn--" appearing at the start of the domain name, such as:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

PS: So Curt, what's your solution?

All,

I have just had some very pleasing success with Eaccelerator on windows. Has anyone else been trying this on windows. Has anyone had production experience with this?

Thanks for any feedback. I have written up the work I have done so far at http://nerds-central.blogspot.com/2006/08/eaccelerator-rocks.html

Cheers

AJ

I think chr(153). I can see it with iso-8859-1 but I am not sure if it
is a legal character for this character set. You can always specify
windows-1252 as character set to make sure it works.
