Hi Tedd,
OK, what exactly have you demonstrated that could not have been done
using javascript/iframe-rpc ?
ajax is nothing but javascript, and in principle it is exactly the same
as using iframe-rpc.

It's a combination of using both ajax and php together.
I'd say overkill for the end result (could be done in plain
Javascript without any "Ajax" calls),
That was my reaction too. I've used iframe/rpc for about three years
- ajax doesn't improve on the basic functionality.

The rotation of a graphic could be done in javascript, that's true.
But, the process demonstrated goes a bit deeper than that.
Hi Tedd,

as using iframe-rpc.
I dunno -- I've never used iframe-rpc and I'm not commenting pro/con about it.
I was just saying that my demo is a combination
of using php and ajax to produce something.
Now, maybe some people want to call it an
overkill and say that *everything* could be done
in javascript alone. That's fine, but they are
missing the point I'm failing to make. My demo is
just another (not unique) way to use both
javascript and php to solve a problem.
For example: If you have a process that is taking
time server-side and want to let the user know in
real time what the progress is, this is one way
to do it. That's not something (by definition)
you can do with javascript alone, right?
There are other applications, but if you fail to
see the basic concept, then you also fail to see
the opportunity.
Cheers,
tedd

Correct, but it doesn't require any ajax either. That was my main
point.

Hello Everyone,
I have the source code of a php application I got from someone but it is
encoded with IonCude.
I would really appreciate if someone can send me any solution for that.

There's a reason it's encoded with IonCube. Someone didn't want you to
have access to plain source code.

There are just way too many things wrong with this message. It
would be fun to count them all together, wouldn't it? ;-P

Hi all,
I repeat the mantra 'filter input, escape output' every day before
writing any line of code.
About "filter input" I use to develop my own filter but I don't like
this solution as it's error prone (my regexp may be wrong, I don't
like to re-invent the wheel that much, ...).
I'd like to know if there is a library that could help me. I identified:
- PEAR Validate:
* seems nice
* but no activity since ~1year and still "beta".
- PEAR HTML_QuickForm:
* validation is a part of its job.
* not very usable if you only want to validate input (need to
declare each element before, access to invalid element not easy).
- PHP Filter:
* Require php 5.2
* As it's embedded in the php core, if there is a security hole we
need to wait for a new php version to fix the bug.
Is there any other library I need to investigate ?
What are you using for your own developments ?

What are you wanting to validate?
Do you want a package/class/function set that when called will validate
different types of input?
Email, string, int, etc...

Howdy fellas,
okay, this is really (!) embarassing, but I have to ask:
Why would I want to use classes in PHP?
I have been using PHP for years now and writing the "normal" functions all
the time. I have never even bothered working with classes, but now I would
love to know what makes the classes so special...
Please go easy on me ;o) Just trying to make another step :o)
Cheerio, and thanks in advance for any answers.

Do not be embarrassed, this is a very good question.
First of all what you call "normal" is procedural or functional programming.
There is nothing wrong with doing things this way and may be especially quick
and efficient when doing basic web sites and applications. Document well and
you will have no problem maintaining your code.
OOP (object oriented programming) is especially useful when the application you
have created needs to scale. A quick example; you have sold your products to
the consumer market for a long time but now the commercial market has become
interested. Commercial customers are different than non-commercial customers,
different data, different credit requirements, different shipping, etc. but
they still have a lot in common, If you had a class Customer you could extended
that class to include commercial customers and only have to code for the unique
qualities of that kind of customer. Then if another type of customer crops up,
say a military contract, you could extend again;
class Customer {
....
}
class CommercialCustomer extends Customer {
/*
*only code unique to commercial customers
* inherits from Customer other variables
* and functions that are common
*/
}
class MilitaryCustomer extends Customer {
/*
*only code unique to military customers
* inherits from Customer other variables
* and functions that are common
*/
}

Not trying to hijack the thread... Hopefully this is related enough,
if not I apologize. Would a good use of a class be to write a generic
database connection script? and then feed in the different variables,
such as customer login, database, stuff like that?
something like class DBConnect {
// Connect to database
mysql_connect($server, $login, $password, $database);
}
or no?

Another good reason is for function/data grouping. By using a class you
don't have to worry about name collisions for your functions, although
you can still have class name collisions. Also, data related to any
operations can be tracked via the object rather than cluttering the
global namespace between function calls.
Cheers,
Rob.

What I was really illustrating is how interfaces are syntactic
sugar only. In my above example what I've really shown is an
implicit interface :) Since OOP is largely meant to model real
world things, ask yourself this... when a doctor sews a pig's
heart into a human, do you think there's an explicit interface
someplace that checks for compatibility, or does it "just work"
if the conditions are right. Food for thought, pork in fact ;)
[/snip]
No doubt they are syntactic sugar (and not needed for polymorphism), PHP
and other languages are sprinkled with such spices. And just like spices
these things have a proper place and usage. (Unless I am slow cooking my
world famous brown sugar and cinnamon brisket.) Given the class brisket
that extends meat I would likely use an interface to implement said
world famous brisket just as others might implement an interface for
their brisket. Of course my recipe could be a child of brisket, but may
violate the IS_A relationship unless a recipe is implicitly implied for
each brisket. Sometimes this syntactic sugar makes for cleaner code
(especially when others who are not aware, sometimes folks do it just to
do it. YMMV and I am now hungry.
BTW, pigs hearts and other body parts are used extensively in research
where human physiology is concerned because of their similarity.

And how do you think "similarity" was determined? Most likely by trying
options until something worked :)

im sure they chopped a few of them open; that is they analyzed the
implementation
directly, rather than looking at it as a black box and praying..
and i would still say the holes or openings the heart exposes are an
explicit interface
that the doctors do run a check against. namely, how many holes are there,
and
do they correspond to the same holes on the human heart.
perhaps theres an implicit interface somewhere inside the implementation.
the pig
heart calls a method on a human blood cell that has to be there otherwise
something
doesnt happen and in the worst case a fatal error occurs and the person has
a stroke.

hi guys.
We've got a local system (PHP intranet) and we need to connect to a live
mySQL server get some of the tables (contents) and overwrite the same
tables in the local mySQL database. This needs to be done with PHP.
Im wondering the best to do this.
Is it to get all the information into result sets for each table and
then delete the contents of each local table and then looping through
the result sets just insert the information into the local tables? This
seems like a good solution but I wonder if there are any out there
before going ahead with development.
Let me know your views etc...
Thanks in advance

Good Morning everyone,
This week, I switched from FileZilla 2 to FileZilla 3, and much to my
dismay the import function doesn't import the local and remote folders
properly.
Looking at the FZ2 and FZ3 XML files, it appears that it would be a
simple task to write a converter that does. I have a good start on one,
(so far it takes all of the parameters in the FZ2 lines and converts
them into an array that I will just write back out in XML format) but
FZ3 stores the passwords while FZ2 used encoded passwords.
I found a Python script at http://www.petersblog.org/node/1152 that is
supposed to decode the passwords to plain text -
def DecodePassword( strPass):
"""Decode a filezilla password"""
strKey = "FILEZILLA1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
nPassLen = len(strPass) / 3

...and tried to convert it to PHP, but since I don't know Python and
there is no documentation in the script to say what it's doing, my
function doesn't spit out all of the right characters... (it does some
though?? maybe coincidence)
function DecodePassword($strPass) {
$strKey = "FILEZILLA1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
$nPassLen = strlen($strPass) / 3;
$nOffset = ($nPassLen % strlen($strKey));

foreach($passPieces as $passPiece) {

$c2 = ord($strKey[($i + $nOffset) % strlen($strKey)]);
$c3 = chr(($c ^ $c2));
$strDecodedPass .= $c3;
}
return $strDecodedPass;
}
I know I simplified quite a bit, but I might have done it wrong...I
tried to convert line-for line, but I'm not sure what the stuff on Lines
10 to 13 do. (Lack of Perl knowledge)
There are perl and Javascript functions to do the decoding at
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=170
I'm not looking for a major undertaking, just something to do the
conversion so I don't have to rebuild definitions for 200 and something
websites.... If I can get it working properly, I'll probably put a
version on my server so people can convert their files as well, as I can
see this being a major PITA.
Thanks!

You may disagree if you wish, but the php function round() is
inaccurate by definition -- all *rounding* algorithms are inaccurate.
My claim is the there are more accurate ways to round.
Cheers,

thats why i suggested the bcmath based algorithm, as bcmath supports
arbitrary
precision. i built a quick test script using the method from the top
comment of the
bcmath page, and round(). it allows for quick comparisons of the 2
algorithms and
tells you if the results are the same. i messed around w/ it a little bit
and the results
were the same every time.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/working/www $ vim bcRound.php
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/working/www $ ./bcRound.php 5.58635634564356 6
round result: 5.586356
roundbc result: 5.586356
the results are different
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/working/www $ vim bcRound.php
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/working/www $ ./bcRound.php 5.58635634564356 6
round result: 5.586356
roundbc result: 5.586356
the results are the same
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/working/www $ ./bcRound.php 5.58635634564356 8
round result: 5.58635635
roundbc result: 5.58635635
the results are the same
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/working/www $ ./bcRound.php 5.58635634564356 3
round result: 5.586
roundbc result: 5.586

i dont know what the point of the toFixed() function is (posted earlier).
round takes a second parameter that specifies the desired precision.
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
if($argc != 3) {
die('Usage: rounder.php <float> <precision>' . PHP_EOL);
}
$float = $argv[1];
$precision = $argv[2];
$roundResult = round($float, $precision);
$roundbcResult = roundbc($float, $precision);
echo "round result: $roundResult" . PHP_EOL;
echo "roundbc result: $roundbcResult" . PHP_EOL;
if($roundResult !== $roundbcResult) {
echo 'the results are the same' . PHP_EOL;
} else {
echo 'the results are different' . PHP_EOL;
}
/// borrowed from post on php.net
function roundbc($x, $p) {
$x = trim($x);
$data = explode(".",$x);
if(substr($data[1],$p,1) >= "5") {
//generate the add string.
$i=0;
$addString = "5";
while($i < $p) {
$addString = "0" . $addString;
$i++;
}//end while.
$addString = "." . $addString;
//now add the addString to the original fraction.
$sum = bcadd($data[0] . "." . $data [1],$addString,$p+1);
//explode the result.
$sumData = explode(".",$sum);
//now, return the correct precision on the rounded number.
return $sumData[0] . "." . substr($sumData[1],0,$p);
} else {
//don't round the value and return the orignal to the desired
//precision or less.
return $data[0] . "." . substr($data[1],0,$p);
}//end if/else.
}//end roundbc.
?>
