Consider the following code...
class A
{
function Go()
{
switch (isset($this))
{
case true: echo 'Called Dynamically<br />'; break;
case false: echo 'Called Statically<br />'; break;
}
}
}
class B
{
function Go()
{
A::Go();
}
}
A::Go();
$a = new A();
$a->Go();
B::Go();
$b = new B();
$b->Go();
My understanding is that the output should be:
Called Statically
Called Dynamically
Called Statically
Called Statically
Yet the output is actually:
Called Statically
Called Dynamically
Called Statically
Called Dynamically
Now my question is, is this what was intended?
It seems that if you call a static class from within a dynamic instance of a
class, the static class then decides $this should reference the class from
which the static class was called
Anyone else come across this?
It could be useful, but right now, its bloody annoying! I need a class to be
called from within another clas, and it needs to know wether it has had an
instance created, or wether it is being statically called, and now I'll have
to write some kludge code instead...

You could check if a variable in $this exists:
class A
{
var $bla;
function Go()
{
switch(isset($this->bla))
{
case true: echo 'Called Dynamicaly<br />'; break;
case true: echo 'Called Statically<br />'; break;
}
}
}
Or, if that doesn't work, you could do this:
class A
{
var $dynamic = true;
function Go()
{
switch(isset($this->bla) && $this->bla == true)
{
case true: echo 'Called Dynamicaly<br />'; break;
case true: echo 'Called Statically<br />'; break;
}
}
}
Or:
class A
{
var $dynamic;
function A()
{
$this->dynamic = true;
}
function Go()
{
switch(isset($this->bla) && $this->bla == true)
{
case true: echo 'Called Dynamicaly<br />'; break;
case true: echo 'Called Statically<br />'; break;
}
}
}
Just some things you could try.

That doesn't make any sense and has nothing to do with Perl, since PHP will
magically convert perl.pl to 'perl.pl'. I think you should do something
like:
<?php exec('perl perl.pl'); ?>
Assumming you are on an Unix enviroment and Perl is installed.

--- Begin Message ---The first line of the script had the magic incantation: #!/usr/local/bin/perl (or something very similar) which makes the leading 'perl' superfluous. PHP scripts can be made into "self executing" scripts in a similar fashion if the 1st line looks like: #!/path/to/the/php/command/line/executable This only applies to Unix and the executable bit must be set.

Hi,
I have a php file that set up a cookie that receives from a form and also uses it.
My problem is the first time the value is submitted via form. The cookie is setup
but I cannot not use it so I'd need to reload the web after setting up the cookie.
Myfile.php
if ($form_value != "0"){
setcookie("mycookie",$form_value,time() + 30660);
// Web should be reload here;
}
$cookie = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["mycookie"];
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Tackel.

You could use a header() with Location: but why do you need to reload
the page? If you already have your data in $form_value then the data is
already available to you.
If you are using a newer version of PHP (> 4.1) you can reference the
information from the $_COOKIE array as well.
You could do this:
if ($form_value != "0"){
setcookie("mycookie",$form_value,time() + 30660);
$cookie = $form_value;
} elseif (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["mycookie"])) {
$cookie = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["mycookie"];
}
There are a number of other ways you could do it as well but that should
help you think about it.

Jason Sheets wrote:
This will always assign the value of $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["mycookie"] to
$cookie, overwriting the $cookie = $form_value assignment which is what
you want if the page is being reloaded but is not what is desired on the

I've been scratching my head over the following code
for a while now. It's supposed to check a given
weblog for specific tags, and if they're present,
update the weblog's table in my database. I believe
the problem is around the execution of the db query,
but I can't seem to get it figured out.
function is_news($address, $blogtitle, $host, $user,
$pass, $dbname){
$f = fopen($address, 'r');
$read = fread($f, 20000);
fclose($f);
$title_start = strpos($read, "<BCtitle>");
$title_end = strpos($read, "</BCtitle>");
$title = substr($read, $title_start, ($title_end -
$title_start));
$blog_start = strpos($read, "<BCblog>");
$blog_end = strpos($read, "</BCblog>");
$blog = substr($read, $blog_start, ($blog_end -
$blog_start));
$link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass)
or die("Can't connect to
database");
$query = "update bloggers set cache='$blog',

what appeared when you printed the text of your query:
$query = "update bloggers set cache='$blog', title='$title' where url='$address'";
print $query;
I'm thinking that your single quotes preventd $blog, $title, $address form being
expanded.

Subject: [PHP] Mysql update problems
I've been scratching my head over the following code
for a while now. It's supposed to check a given
weblog for specific tags, and if they're present,
update the weblog's table in my database. I believe
the problem is around the execution of the db query,
but I can't seem to get it figured out.
function is_news($address, $blogtitle, $host, $user,
$pass, $dbname){
$f = fopen($address, 'r');
$read = fread($f, 20000);
fclose($f);
$title_start = strpos($read, "<BCtitle>");
$title_end = strpos($read, "</BCtitle>");
$title = substr($read, $title_start, ($title_end -
$title_start));
$blog_start = strpos($read, "<BCblog>");
$blog_end = strpos($read, "</BCblog>");
$blog = substr($read, $blog_start, ($blog_end -
$blog_start));
$link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass)
or die("Can't connect to
database");
$query = "update bloggers set cache='$blog',
title='$title' where url='$address'";
if(mysql_db_query ($dbname, $query, $link)) {
$is_news = 1;
}else{
$is_news = 0;
}
return $is_news;
}

--- Begin Message --- No, the query is working fine... all variables are printing correctly. This is what has me confused. Everything seems to be as it should, it's just not updating the db table.

Then the problem is in MYSQL. to help determine this, ALWAYS--ALWAYS include the "or
die(mysql_error())" as part of the mysql_query():
mysql_db_query ($dbname, $query, $link) or die("Error: cannot read
table<BR>$query<BR>".mysql_error());

GD is not "standard equipment", a "special" version is just bundled in PHP source now. It sounds like you are using windows, this bundling has no affect on the windows distribution as it included all the pre-compiled binaries already, including GD's. In fact, I bet you already have a GD binary and just need to uncomment out in your php.ini but anyway 4.1.1 is old so you should upgrade. Like with any version of PHP you download it and follow the install instructions. http://www.php.net/downloads Regards, Philip--- End Message ---
