I'm not sure of a book, but for PHP4 you'll want to grab NuSOAP. Its
actually a pretty nice SOAP library. You can ifnd it on google. I was able
to work with it by searching for examples just fine. You may not even need
a book.

A book I like is:
Pro PHP XML and Web Services
# ISBN-10: 1590596331
# ISBN-13: 978-1590596333
This book requires PHP 5.
Hopefully SOAP can be used with PHP 4?!?
Of course...it is after all still just text transported via the HTTP
protocol and PHP does a good job at parsing text, so, at a minimum,
you could write your own support for SOAP in PHP 4.
Why are you looking at PHP4? After August of this year, PHP 4 will no
longer be supported and I don't believe it had any built-in support
for SOAP as PHP 5 does. Although, I believe there is some third-party
support for SOAP in PHP 4. I believe this is one example:
http://pear.php.net/package/SOAP/
http://www.evolt.org/article/The_PEAR_SOAP_Implementation/21/49993/

Then surely "designed well" would include a normalised database?
Not necessarily. You could for example have a database that accommodates
future needs without being completely normalised.

That depends on your definition of "completely normalised". Up to 3NF is
normally sufficient, whereas up to 6NF might be excessive. But any degree of
normalisation is better than not having any normalisation at all.
The point I am trying to make is that a totally unnormalised database is
something which a competent designer will tend to avoid like the plague.
Only a complete novice will throw together a database which has 0NF.

Hi everyone,
I am wondering if I can write this cleaner?
$weightExplode = explode(".", $totalWeight);
$explodetest = ".";
$explodetest .= $weightExplode[1];
$explodetest = $explodetest*16;
I'm hoping I've missed something... Basically I just need to include
the "." in $weightExplode[1] before I multiply it by 16. That's the
only part that is confusing me right now...
Any ideas?

I can't write it cleaner, though I can write it shorter:
$weightExplode = explode('.', $totalWeight);
$explodetest = ((float)('.' . $weightExplode[1])) * 16;
(the (float) casting is maybe not required, but I think it's good practice)

Untested but should have the same effect as your code.

Hey all!
To say I suck at regex is an understatement so really need any help I can get
on this, I have a page of text with different html tags in them, but each
"block" of text has a <p> or a < class="something"> tag... anybody have any
regex that will catch each of these paragraphs and put then into an array
example:
array[0]="<p> first block </p>";
array[1]="<p class="blah"> block X</p>";
Thanks!
R

If you're using php5 you can use DOM's getElementsByTagName.
If you still think you need to do some sort of regex it is possible
but it will be buggy at best.

Nope, need a regex... guess I have no choice, either chancy regex or nothing...
I know for a fact that the first paragraph tag wont contain a class, and for
the <p> tags that contain a class="blah" does it matter that i know exactly
what the classname is?

Hello Philip
First thing first: design patterns are your friend. A good reference
for which, is:
http://www.fluffycat.com/PHP-Design-Patterns/
Second of all. What is the situation in which you are trying to do
this? I can't really think of one where you would do such a thing.

Sorry I haven't responded earlier... was away from my computer since
Friday!
First, thanks for the link. Second, because of the way our application
is setup, I am interested in doing this functionality. However,
someone pointed out a very good point - basically abstraction and
classes not needing to know about other classes. So, 'A' knowing about
'C' is "not a good thing" (TM). After thinking twice about it, I won't
take this approach.
However, the reason this came up is because the application is split
up logically between the database layer, security layer, view layer,
logic layer, etc... There is a core class which has generic functions
in it which is called on every request. In this class, other classes
are instantiated and used throughout the app. Kinda like this...
<?php
class Core {
$this->site = new Site ();
}
class Site {
$this->render = new Render ();
}
class Render {
function translate ($template, $arr) {
$content = str_replace (
array_keys($arr),
array_values($arr),
"$template.tpl.php"
);
return $content;
}
function stroke () { }
}
// Somewhere in the app...
$content = $core->site->render->translate('someTemplate', $replace);
?>
Obviously, these are VERY dumbed-down versions of the classes, but
this is the general idea. It all comes down to separation of business
logic from the view from the database, and so on.
Hopefully that's as clear as mud now.

Hi all. I have several classes. Within each class, a new class is
called. Is
there a way to assign a function in a *deeper* class to be called
in the
first class? Example to follow......
<?php
class A {
function __construct () {
$this->b = new B ();
// I want to do the following. This does not work, of course.
$this->doSomething = $this->b->c->doSomething;
}
}
class B {
function __construct () {
$this->c = new C ();
}
}
class C {
function __construct () { }
function doSomething () { echo "¡Hi!"; }
}
$a = new A ();
// Instead of doing this,
$a->b->c->doSomething();
// I want to do this.
$a->doSomething(); // ¡Hi!
?>
Basically, it's just to shorten the line to access a particular
function.
But, is it possible?!
Thanks,
~Philip

I'm not sure as to how you meant that -- I hope it was in a good way.
I expressed my thoughts because we might find some common ground, or
not -- just an idea.
I don't go by the name Tedd anymore -- non sum qualis eram.
Cheers,

Hi Tedd,
I absolutely meant that in a good way! You are one of the guys I see VERY
active on this list, and I really get a lot from the help you're giving
others. I really like the way you put things, so: yeah, I meant it in a good
way :o) And I was a bit stunned when you wrote that you've had an almost
similar idea. Maybe my english skills aren't good enough yet to show when I
am trying to make a bit of a joke *gg*
Maybe we can find some common gorund, as you said. I sure love the idea :o)
All the best!
Chris
