Oh hey, that's a good point. All the stuff i saw so far indented 2
spaces. WHY?
Can I just indent a TAB if my editor permits this? indenting 4 spaces (2
nests) is easy, but suppose I hit one extra space- not enough difference
to be really noticeable. Let's talk about indentation in php for a
moment, could we?
I use PHPEclipse for an editor. It has the best code beautifier I've
used for PHP class editing. I hit Ctrl+Shift+F and the whole file jumps
into the format I have predefined. It handles indentation, curly braces
up or down, spacing, etc.
I can take code snippets from anywhere and with a couple keystrokes, the
format adheres to my preferences and is readable.

Been reading through
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/features.connection-handling.php and
trying to implement a solution using it. So far the documented
behaviour rarely occurs.
This code is a minimal test case: http://codepad.org/GqNlcWiM
I run this behind Apache 2.2 with PHP 5.3 on Linux. The in-line
comments explain the problem. I load in the browser and hit stop
pretty much immediately but PHP does not get signalled that the user
has aborted and continues.
>From memory of having to restart apache after hitting long-running
scripts in the past, I don't ever believe I've had a script terminate
on a user abort. And I've never switched the behaviour from default.
I read several people explain this behaviour would only ever work in
writing back to the client and to flush the buffer, which is included
in the test case. I've also removed any compression from within
Apache.
Can anyone explain what I've seeing? I've tried this using Lighttpd/Windows too.
Thanks,
James

Hello,
I have an array of arrays like this:
---
[array_of_arrays:private] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 2
[1] => 4
[2] => 5
[3] => 17
[4] => 80
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 5
[1] => 7
[2] => 9
[3] => 2
[4] => 16
[5] => 58
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 2
[1] => 4
[2] => 6
[3] => 8
[4] => 37
[5] => 92
)
)
---
and I want to do an array_diff on them so that I get something like this back:
---
Array
(
[0] => 6
[1] => 7
[2] => 8
[3] => 9
[4] => 16
[5] => 17
[6] => 37
[7] => 58
[8] => 80
[9] => 92
)
---
The arrays above are just an example; the real arrays I am working with can
have many more elements (in the tens of thousands). Also, there can be a
variable number of subarrays. I have written several different versions of my
own array_diff that iterates over all the subarrays but they are slow.
My question is is there a way to call the built-in array_diff with a
dynamically generated list of arguments? I was thinking maybe there would be a
way to do this with variable variables or if I generated a string that could be
parsed by PHP but I have only succeeded in confusing myself further. Thanks
for any suggestions.

Have you tried a basic test w/o framework like this to ensure that
both installed versions of PHP & MySQL are working properly as
expected?
Test connection for sample data:
Penelope Guiness
Nick Wahlberg
Platform info:
Server Info: 5.5.7-rc-log
Client Info: mysqlnd 5.0.7-dev - 091210 - $Revision: 304625 $
Webserver: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
PHP: 5.3.5-cgi-fcgi
<?php
$user = 'test';
$passwd = 'test';
$host = '127.0.0.1';
$dbname = 'sample_sakila';
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM actor LIMIT 0,2';
$dsn = "mysql:host={$host};dbname={$dbname}";
if ( !extension_loaded( 'pdo' ) ) throw new \Exception(' Requires PHP
PDO extension.');
if ( !extension_loaded( 'pdo_mysql' ) ) throw new \Exception('
Requires PHP PDO driver MySQL ');
echo '<pre>Test connection for sample data: '.PHP_EOL;
$dbh = new PDO( $dsn, $user, $passwd );
foreach( $dbh->query( $sql ) as $row )
{
echo ucfirst( strtolower( $row['first_name'] ) ).' '
.ucfirst( strtolower( $row['last_name'] ) ).PHP_EOL;
}
echo PHP_EOL.'Platform info: '.PHP_EOL;
$mysqli = new mysqli( $host, $user, $passwd, $dbname );
echo 'Server Info: '.$mysqli->server_info.PHP_EOL;
echo 'Client Info: '.$mysqli->client_info.PHP_EOL;
$mysqli->close();
echo 'Webserver: '.$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'].PHP_EOL;
echo 'PHP: '.PHP_VERSION.'-'.PHP_SAPI.PHP_EOL;
show_source(__FILE__);
Note: The MySQL server is my own Win x64 compilation. Nevertheless,
PHP shouldn't have any problems with MySQL 5.5.

Tommy

Hi Simon,
Thank you for the info on call_user_func_array and for pointing out my error!
(That bug would partially explain why I have been beating my head against the
wall for the last several days.) call_user_func_array is exactly what I need.
Thanks again!

Optimizing the backend for speed goes beyond just SQL query
optimization. Is the DB structure optimized? Example: best usage of
column type & column size? Do you have any indexes? Are you over
normalizing the tables? Queries makes full use of indexes? etc...
Basic DB structure is fine when you have very small # rows. Once the
rows count reach hundreds of thousands, or worse, millions, you'll
need to have an optimized DB structure. If you're limited on
knowledge and experience on RDBMS, time for major readings or ask a
friendly DBA.

Tommy

Hi folks,
This is not directly relating to PHP but it's Friday so I'm gonna give
it a shot :). Would someone please help me figure out why my regex
pattern doesn't work. Below is the code and sample data:
$html = <<<HTML
<li class="small tab "><a class="y-mast-link images"
href="http://images.search.yahoo.com/images";
data-b="http://www.yahoo.com";><span class="tab-cover y-mast-bg-hide"
style="padding-left:0em;padding-right:0em;">Images</span></a></li>
<li class="small tab "><a class="y-mast-link video"
href="http://video.search.yahoo.com/video";
data-b="http://www.yahoo.com";><span class="tab-cover y-mast-bg-hide"
style="padding-left:0em;padding-right:0em;">Video</span></a></li>
<li class="small tab "><a class="y-mast-link local"
href="http://local.yahoo.com/results";
data-b="http://www.yahoo.com";><span class="tab-cover y-mast-bg-hide"
style="padding-left:0em;padding-right:0em;">Local</span></a></li>
<li class="small tab "><a class="y-mast-link shopping"
href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/search";
data-b="http://www.yahoo.com";><span class="tab-cover y-mast-bg-hide"
style="padding-left:0em;padding-right:0em;">Shopping</span></a></li>
<li class="small lasttab more-tab "><a class="y-mast-link more"
href="http://tools.search.yahoo.com/about/forsearchers.html"; ><span
class="tab-cover y-mast-bg-hide">More</span><span
class="y-fp-pg-controls arrow"></span></a></li>
HTML;
$pattern =
'%<a\s[^href]*href\s*=\s*[\'|"]?([^\'|"|#]+)[\'|"]?\s*[^>]*>(.*)?</a>%im';
preg_match_all($pattern, $html, $matches);
The only matches I got is:
Match 1 of 1: <a class="y-mast-link local"
href="http://local.yahoo.com/results";
data-b="http://www.yahoo.com";><span class="tab-cover y-mast-bg-hide"
style="padding-left:0em;padding-right:0em;">Local</span></a>
Group 1: http://local.yahoo.com/results
Group 2: <span class="tab-cover y-mast-bg-hide"
style="padding-left:0em;padding-right:0em;">Local</span>
The pattern I made was to work in cases where the page is
non-compliant to any of standard W3.
Thanks,
Tommy

As far as I can tell, your problem lies in [^href]*. That will match any
characters other than h, r, e or f, not anything other than the string href.
Consider replacing it with [^>]*?. The ? makes it non-greedy so it will stop as
soon as it can (when it matches the first href) rather than as late as it can
(when it matches a >)

Not entirely sure what your input data is, as I'm guessing one or more
mail programs may have added line breaks. When I run the code I get no
matches at all - so I'm guessing you might have different input on
your end. More specifically, I'm also guessing you have line breaks on
your end, but not equally distributed - which would explain the one
hit.
Apart from that, there are a couple of things I'd rework in your regex:
%<a\s+.*?(?!href)\s+href\s*=\s*([^\s\'"]+|\'[^\']+\'|\"[^\"]+\")[^>]*>(.*?)</a>%ims
* added modifier to whitespace at first
* allowing for any character not followed by href (non-greedy)
* match the href
* use proper alternation
* capture anything inside the <a> tag, non-greedy
* match with a closing </a> tag

@Simon,
Thanks for explaining about the [^href]. I need to read up more about
greediness. I thought I understood it but guess not.
@Peter,
I tried your pattern but it didn't capture all of my new test cases.
Also, it captures the single/double quotes in addition to the
fragments inside the href. I couldn't figure out how to modify your
pattern to exclude the ', ", and URL fragment from group 1 matches.
Below is the new pattern with the new sample test cases that I got it
to work. The new pattern failed only 1 of the non-compliant.
$html = <<<HTML
<a href=/sample/link>content</a>
<a class=link href=/sample/link_extra_attribs title=sample
link>content link_extra_attribs</a>
<a href='/sample/link_single_quote'>content link_single_quote</a>
<a class='link' href='/sample/link_single_quote_pre_attribs'>content
link_single_quote_pre_attribs</a>
<a class='link' href='/sample/link_single_quote_extra_attribs'
title='sample link'>content link_single_quote_extra_attribs</a>
<a class='link'

Could this number refer to a date()? In late 2009?
How could I calculate it?
