Hi.

For my CMS, i need to do imports of photos and videos.
For uploading large files i have a Java FTP applet with automated resume, so
no problems there.

But: unzipping them and importing them might take a long time if it's a
large batch (1000s of pictures/videos).

Currently i split this up by importing only 1 item per php call from the
browser, to get around the hoster's limitation of 30s php timeout.
But since my hoster wont support video-importing (ffmpeg) anyhow, i have
decided to do some tasks from my home server over which i have total
control.

I'd also like to get rid of the requirement to have a browser open during
the import process.
Not only is it cumbersome for the user, if the internet connection fails
then the import is interrupted too.

I'm considering to (after ftp has completed) call a php script on my
homeserver that calls scripts on the hoster.
Scripts on the hoster would write status-info to a file, which is then read
from the originating browser.
And if a video-file is encountered, my homeserver downloads it, then ffmpegs
the meta-info and thumbnails, uploads those results to the hoster, calls a
'receiver' script on the hoster to put the thumbnails and meta-info in the
database..

Good idea?
Or do you have a better one? :)

sounds like it's time to get your own dedicated server to be honest; in the time it takes you to do that semi-manual process I'm sure you could easily do a couple of jobs to fund the server if needs be;

Yeah, that was my first thought too.

They're not even very expensive - how about EUR50/month for a dual-core
AMD with 2Gb RAM, dual 400GB SATA disks and unlimited bandwidth.

What variable contains the number?
How _exactly_ are you assigning the number to the variable?
How _exactly_ are you writing the data to the CSV file?
I tried looking up a function 'dump' at php.net and didn't turn up anything. How is dump implemented?

This statement _is_ correct. I see values such as 234.55, but not 234.00 in 
the CSV file and when I dump the data.
55.00 will equal 55 when it should equal 55.00. 234.00 shows up as 234. The 
data is fine it just simple does not show up
correctly in the CSV file.

$out
.="".$name.",".$description.",".$size.",".$stock.",".$price.",". $total_cost. 
"";
$out .= "\n";

}
                
dump($out); This prints the correct data.
exit();
                                
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=inventory_report.csv"); 

print $out; This prints wrong.

Did you mean to say that it .00 _doesn't_ show up when you try to
manually add a .00?


The value is in the array or string
before outputting printing to CSV. Number format does not work either. 


And just to clarify...in your .csv file, you do see values such as
234.55, but not 234.00.

I can promise you that if you fprintf( $fp, "234.00" ), you will see
234.00 in your file.

So, the question becomes, what _exactly_ are you doing when you are
writing this stuff out.

Hi Nathan,
if you're already speaking of iterating children, i'd like to ask you another question:
Basically i was trying to do the same thing as Tim, when i experienced some difficulties iterating over DOMElement->childNodes with foreach and manipulating strings inside the nodes or even replacing DOMElement/DOMNode/DOMText with another node. Instead, i am currently iterating like this: 

$child = $element->firstChild;
while ($child != null) {
        $next_sibling = $child->nextSibling;

        // Do something with child (manipulate, replace, ...)
        
        // Continue iteration
        $child = $next_sibling
}

Is this correct, or is there any better way?

Thank you in advance!
Mario

Nathan,

Thanks for the suggestion, but it's still not working for me.  Here's my
code:

===========
$HTML = new DOMDocument();
@$HTML->loadHTML($text);
$Elements = $HTML->getElementsByTagName("*");

for ($X = 0; $X < $Elements->length; $X++) {
  $Element =  $Elements->item($X);

 if ($Element->tagName == "a") {
   # SNIP - Do something with A tags here
 } else if ($Element instanceof DOMText) {
   echo $Element->nodeValue; exit;
 }
}
===========

This loop never executes the instanceof part of the code.  If I add:

 } else if ($Element instanceof DOMNode) {
   echo "foo!"; exit;
 }

Then it echos "foo!" as expected.  It just seems that none of the nodes in
the tree are DOMText nodes.  In fact, get_class($Element) returns
"DOMElement" for every node in the tree.



Tim,

i got your code working with minimal effort by pulling in two of the methods
i posted and making some revisions.  scope it out,
(this will produce the same output as my last post (the part after OUT:))

<?php
$text = '<html><body>Test<br><h2>[EMAIL PROTECTED]<a name="bar">stuff
inside the link</a>Foo</h2><p>care</p><p>yoyser</p></body></html>';
$HTML = new DOMDocument();
$HTML->loadHTML($text);
$Elements = $HTML->getElementsByTagName("*");

for ($X = 0; $X < $Elements->length; $X++) {
 $Element =  $Elements->item($X);
 if($Element->hasChildNodes())
    foreach($Element->childNodes as $curChild)
     if ($curChild->nodeName == "a") {
       # SNIP - Do something with A tags here
     } else if ($curChild instanceof DOMText) {
      convertToLinkIfNecc($Element, $curChild);
     }
}
echo $HTML->saveXML() . PHP_EOL;


function convertToLinkIfNecc(DomElement $textContainer, DOMText $textNode) {
    if( (strtolower($textContainer->nodeName) != 'a') &&
        (filter_var($textNode->nodeValue, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) !== false)
) {
        convertMailtoToAnchor($textContainer, $textNode);
    }
}
function convertMailtoToAnchor(DomElement $textContainer, DOMText $textNode)
{
    $newNode = new DomElement('a', $textNode->nodeValue);
    $textContainer->replaceChild($newNode, $textNode);
    $newNode->setAttribute('href', "mailto:{$textNode->nodeValue}");
}
?>

so, the problem is iterating over a tree structure will only show you whats
at the first level of the tree.  this is why you need to call
hasChildNodes(), and if that is true, call childNodes() and iterate across
that (and really, the code should be doing the same thing there as well,
calling hasChildNodes() and iterating over the results of childNodes()).
the code i have shown will work for the html i posted, however it wont work
on (x)html where these text nodes we're searching for are deeper in the tree
than the second level.  im sure you can cook up something that will recurse
down to the leafs :)
anyway, im going to try and hook up a RecursiveDOMDocumentIterator that
implements RecursiveIterator so that it has the convenient foreach support.
also, ill probly try to hook up a Filter varient of this class so that
situations like this are trivial.

stay tuned :D

I've been working on some PEAR-based app last week and I ran into problem. 
While I debugging app, my backtrace always trimmed at some point.
First time I though it was my mistake, and switched back to standard
"Exception" class.
But nothing changed.
If I print everything by hands, it's all full and good, but if I let PHP print 


what do you mean by:



1. print by hand


Catch excetion and manually call getTraceAsString.


2. let PHP print


Do not catch exception, let PHP behave on it's own way.
are you printing to screen or to error_log (or syslog)? I believe error_log has a limit as to the length of the string that will actually be logged ... I can't remember whether this 
was php, apache or system related.


You want the php.ini setting:

log_errors_max_len
It defaults to 1024 characters: presumably that includes the preamble giving you 1015 or so to play with.
If you set it to zero then you get unlimited log messages. 'course that might fill your logs up a bit...

ah yes, good catch. I think I wrote the syslog wrapper because I didn't
have control over that setting at the time.
If you set it to zero then you get unlimited log messages. 'course that might fill your logs up a bit... 

disk space is cheap :-) besides a decent setup should be rotating the logs,
so your pretty safe from filling up the disk (assuming your logs aren't dumped
to a seperate partition ... which is probably a good idea anyway ... to avoid
crashing the whole system ... although I vaguely recall that apache might
stop functioning if it can't write logs anymore ... again, not sure about that
at all.

how do you handle licensing/activation in these VMs?
I have parallels on my Mac and a 'proper' bootcamp install of WinXP

for the sake of testing another POS version of IE. 

You need a license for each instance of XP that you run. AFAIK, you only
need one license to multi-boot XP on a single computer (but you should
check that!) so I don't see why it would be any different for multiple
images run singly in a VM.
I somehow doubt it, but that would be nice. I certainly wouldn't have any moral qualms about it, but not sure if MS lawyers would see it lat way. That said, if you use a VM system that support snapshots, then you can have a faily convenient sacrificial install that you can play with this kind of thing. That said, it's still not useful. [Edit: I see you wrote pretty much the same thing at the end of your mail ;)] 


NB: I'm talking XP here; I vaguely recall something about the Vista EULA
(spit!) specifically excluding installation in a non-MS VM, so you'd
need to check with your lawyers on that one... :/
I think I remember reading that they relaxed their VM licensing stance... Having never installed Vista and having no intention of touching it with a 10ft barge pole, I can't say I care!

Hey everyone,


Not completely specific to php but I know you guys know regex's   
better then I do! :)



I am attempting to match purl.schreurprinting.com/jasonpruim112 to  
purl.schreurprinting.com/p.php?purl=jasonpruim112


Here are my current matching patterns:


                RewriteRule /(.*) "/volumes/raider/webserver/ 
documents/dev/schreurprinting.com/p.php?purl=$

#               RewriteRule /(*.) "/purl.schreurprinting.com/$1"

#               RewriteRule /(mail.php?purl=*) "/ 
purl.schreurprinting.com/mail.php?purl=$1"



Yes I am doing this for apache's mod_rewrite, but my question is much  
more specific to regex's at this point :)



Any ideas where I am going wrong? it seems like it should be fairly  
simple to do, but I don't know regex's at all :)

here's a typical rule; probably best to modify what works and go from 
there :)


RewriteRule ^directory/(.*)$ /newdirectory/$1 [L]

the other alternative is to let php handle it..

this is basicaly if request isn't a file or a directory route to a php 
handler [my prefered way]:


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /notfound_handler.php [L]

Maybe this:

http://www.regular-expressions.info ... that's how I learned. :)
Anyway... your match might be something like:

^/([^/\.]+)/?$

And the rewrite...

"/p.php?purl=$1"

To break it down, the match is looking for "The beginning of the line,
followed by a forward slash, followed by (begin capture group) 1 or more
characters that are not a forward slash or a period (end capture group)
followed by an optional forward slash, followed by the end of the line."

The rewrite is fairly straightforward.

I went 100% generic with the match due to your following e-mail that
stated "jasonpruim112" could be any username. If "112" is necessary for
the match, it would be more like:

^/([^/\.]+112)/?$

Hope this helps,

I am attempting to match purl.schreurprinting.com/jasonpruim112  
to purl.schreurprinting.com/p.php?purl=jasonpruim112

Here are my current matching patterns:

              RewriteRule /(.*) "/volumes/raider/webserver/ 
documents/dev/schreurprinting.com/p.php?purl=$

#               RewriteRule /(*.) "/purl.schreurprinting.com/$1"

#               RewriteRule /(mail.php?purl=*) "/ 
purl.schreurprinting.com/mail.php?purl=$1"
Yes I am doing this for apache's mod_rewrite, but my question is  
much more specific to regex's at this point :)
Any ideas where I am going wrong? it seems like it should be  
fairly simple to do, but I don't know regex's at all :)

RewriteRule ^jasonpruim112$ /p.php?purl=jasonpruim112 [L]

Just tried it, and it pops up with a 404... I'll keep looking.

One other thing that I should probably add is the fact that the  
^jasonpruim112$ could have hundreds of counterparts....  
^bobsmith112$ ^jerrybob112$ etc... etc...

Thanks for looking though!

here's a typical rule; probably best to modify what works and go  
from there :)


RewriteRule ^directory/(.*)$ /newdirectory/$1 [L]

the other alternative is to let php handle it..

this is basicaly if request isn't a file or a directory route to a  
php handler [my prefered way]:


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /notfound_handler.php [L]



Interesting idea... I hadn't thought about that... Then I could just  
use a regex in php and grab everything after the domain name and pass  
it to my database to search and find the appropriate info to pull out...


I'll have to do some searching :)

watch out with number_format() it will format according to the current locale
unless you specify the decimal and thousands seperator char explicitly ... e.g.

english: 1,000.00
dutch:   1.000,00

Of course, (if ever I've had a "doh" moment I think now would be it).
Though I'll probably use a tmp file.



I've been working almost exclusively with databases lately so all my

quick recommendation rss_php from rssphp.net is often faster than magpie 
and php5 - simplepie is also good; the old loop through and send what's 
new seems the way though Richard.

I've already knocked something up. It's attached if you want it.

Do you know any reason why the following code does work


$xmlOperazioni = simplexml_load_file($xmlFilename);
foreach($xmlOperazioni->operazione as $operazione) {
   if($operazione['nome'] == $operazioneRichiesta) {
      require($operazione['php']);
      break;
   }
}

but the following does not

$xmlOperazioni = 
simplexml_load_file($impostazioni['root']['configurazione']['generale']['xml_operazioni']);
foreach($xmlOperazioni->operazione as $operazione) {
   if($operazione->nome == $operazioneRichiesta) {
      require($operazione->php);
      break;
   }
}

that is I MUST access childrens of the element <operazione> as if it was an 
array, while (in the same page) the following code does work

$xmlViste = 
simplexml_load_file($impostazioni['root']['configurazione']['generale']['xml_composizione_viste']);
foreach($xmlViste->vista as $vista) {
    if($vista->nome == $nomeVistaDaMostrare) {
       $smarty->assign("intestazione","componenti/".$vista->intestazione);
       $smarty->assign("menu","componenti/".$vista->menu);
       $smarty->assign("contenuto", "componenti/".$vista->contenuto);
       $smarty->assign("pie_di_pagina", "componenti/".$vista->pie_di_pagina);
       break;
    }
}

but the following does not

$xmlViste = 
simplexml_load_file($impostazioni['root']['configurazione']['generale']['xml_composizione_viste']);
foreach($xmlViste->vista as $vista) {
    if($vista['nome'] == $nomeVistaDaMostrare) {
       $smarty->assign("intestazione","componenti/".$vista['intestazione']);
       $smarty->assign("menu","componenti/".$vista['menu']);
       $smarty->assign("contenuto", "componenti/".$vista['contenuto']);
       $smarty->assign("pie_di_pagina", "componenti/".$vista['pie_di_pagina']);
       break;
    }
}

that is this time I MUST access the childrens of the element <operazione> as if 
it was an object?

On the php side look at this:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-set-charset.php

That's recommended over set names.

It doesn't look like zencart includes a checkout system.  I really need 
the complete system.



Otherwise, what I see at their site looks interesting.  In searching for 
the website for zencart, I discovered a commercial product that looks 
like it would work and it uses XML to import product information into 
its system.  I'm trying to figure out if zencart would use this method also.
