Re: Possible Memory Leak
I don't know about that. Years ago people might have said PHP isn't made for command-line scripting, but then PHP 4.3 came along and gave us a command-line PHP SAPI and it works great. PHP may have been initially designed for serving web pages, but it's a fine general-purpose language that can do most anything you want it to, and it is of great benefit when you can use as few programming languages as possible. Sure, this particular task might benefit from being done in parallel, but why not parallel PHP processes? I am in the process of writing a daemon in PHP, as a CakePHP shell, and I too have the expectation that there will not be memory leaks (though I have not measured it yet). The term isn't quite right, of course -- an interpreted garbage-collected language like PHP can't have memory leaks in the traditional sense (since you're not allocating and deallocating memory yourself) unless there is a bug in the PHP language itself that's causing this, which I kind of doubt given its popularity and age. Rather, I'd assume at this point that CakePHP is caching or logging some information within itself (perhaps collecting all the SQL queries in an array or something), under the assumption that all scripts will be short-lived and it won't matter; if so, CakePHP might want to reconsider that assumption. Or perhaps this is already governed by the debug config setting, or another config setting that we need to discover.

Re: How to determine specific rule that was triggered on validation?
You probably have to use a combination of defining your validation rules according to the CakePHP book at: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1151/Multiple-Rules-per-Field and then use the models invalidFields method to pass the errors on to the view, so that you may discern which error rule is being reported. Enjoy, John On 22 Feb., 05:11, O.J. Tibi ojt...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I need some ideas on this one. We all know pretty well that a model gathers messages from failing validation rules whenever it performs validations, and these messages can be retrieved using $Model-invalidFields(). I was thinking, what if I wanted to check if a particular validation rule was triggered for this field that I'm interested in? Would there be a way to check that this rule was triggered without relying on the validation messages? Let's say I have a registration form. I have a User.username field that has some few validation rules (not empty, between range, valid characters, no duplicates, etc.) but I'm particularly interested if the no duplicates rule was triggerred on validation. In a component, whenever the no duplicates field is triggered, the component will inject a username suggestion helper into the parent controller. The reason why we should not determine if a particular rule was triggered using the validation messages, is because these messages (that are displayed to the user) may be changed in the application, depending on the requirements. These messages are also translated according to the user's current locale, so comparing a validation message that may change in the application's lifetime to its Gettext'ed counterpart is not viable. Would it be possible to mimic the $Model-invalidFields() method to return constant error codes or error ids (alphanumeric, hashed, numeric, prefixed, or any other flavor you like to site as an example) that would not change even if the associated validation messages change? If so, what's your recommendation on how to wire this functionality into the model so I can check it after validation failures?

But there's nothing in the design of the PHP language that would make a month-long or longer PHP command line script improper, and I think that usage should be supported, even within CakePHP.

Diving into code-land, here is what I mean.

function initialize($controller, $options) {

}
I expected the stack order to call SecondaryComponent::initialize()
then MainComponent::initialize() but it appears to call
MainComponent::initialize() and then SecondaryComponent::initialize(),
causing SecondaryComponent::specialMethod() to fail.
I fixed it by manually calling $this-SecondaryComponent-initialize() in
MainComponent::initialize(), but I still wonder if
there would be a more cakish way of doing that.
I'm not sure if this behavior is a bug, a design decision, an
ommission or simply a wrong approach of myself.
Has anyone some insight of this ?

Re: password hash in cake
this is a code, which hash a password properly for Auth component
Security::hash('yourpassword', sha1, true);
so when you save this, do this before you save

Re: Possible Memory Leak
Hi, I use a single http request. Ah and that is your problem. PHP and web servers in general are not designed to execute long running tasks. I do batch processing in cakephp using a javascript timer that invokes an ajax call to cake every 2 seconds. Cake then executes a small portion of the enormous batch task and logs that. Since this is the type of task you don't want to rush it works very well for me. It is sure is a matter of taste whether or not you think such a solution is pretty and I don't know whether or not it is appropriate in your case.

In fact, there's no more turning back for me ever since I started it. No framework matchesCakePHPwhen it comes to ease of development. However, very recently, I've encountered a problem I can't figure out the source. I'm dealing with Financial Data and being in finance, my application often have to crunch huge sets of data. I've always been very careful with how my application has handled the data as the data involve is huge and I could run into a memory leak if I don't clear those unused variables. This year, I was tasked to run a very heavy simulation on the financial data that involves possible 100 million mysql queries in a single run. As such, I'm very prepared to let the simulation run over a period of 1 month. However, within 2 days, the application threw a memory exhausted error. What really puzzled me was I had been very careful not to store any unused data in memory. In my algorithm, after I query the data, I store them in a temporary variable. At its final usage, I unset the variable despite knowing that the next iteration the data will be overwritten. That's just to be sure. After each round of simulation, the variables used are stored in the database. After the last $model-save(), I clear every variable used in the simulation, even if the data will be overwritten at the next iteration. All other persistent data throughout the iteration are either integers, floats or unchanging arrays. As such, there's no way these persistent data could be the cause of memory leak. I've debugged as much as I could to pin point the source of the memory leak in my controllers and models, but without any luck. I ran a smaller simulation and monitor the memory size each iteration, I noticed that the memory either stays the same or gets bigger. I still put my faith inCakePHPand I need expert advise on where this memory leak could be. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

If i was to create a datasource to consume a web service, and I wanted it to pick up related fields via a HasOne relationship to a model using a mysql database table, will cake just automagically resolve this, or do I need to do something cute in the datasource?

Re: problems populating my select box
Ok that worked (sort of), thanks! I also noticed that I had a typo in the above that probably wasn't helping either. Your kind advice above turns the select box into a list of the charities names ok, but when I create a campaign having selected a charity the controller doesn't save the charity_id as the foreign key in the campaigns table anymore.

Re: caching with pages and '/' route
The Dispatcher class has a method in which it checks for whether or not it should use a cached version of the URL, when the Cache.check configuration is set to true. So in your case it works as it should, you have told the Dispatcher to use cached versions. The Dispatcher uses /home whenever the / is specified.

Re: FCK editor filling textarea with home page
I found the solution to this. The problem was that my site was in a subdirectory, but the fck helper file was just pointing to the webroot as if it was at the top level. Adding in the subdirectory to the fck basepath solved the problem. i.e. in the fck helper, in the constructor, I had $this-BasePath = '/app/webroot/js/fckeditor/'; when it should have been $this-BasePath = /subdirectory'/app/webroot/js/fckeditor/'; Hope this helps someone else! -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

isAuthorized problem with mixed case actions
Whilst going through the security of my application, I've noticed a
flaw. I'm not sure if this is a cake issue, or just something I need
to be aware of however.
I'm using code from the Bakery for the Sortable behaviour. So I've got
functions named moveUp and moveDown in my controller.
In isAuthorized im doing the following
if( $this-action == 'moveUp' || $this-action == 'moveDown'){
..code to check if this is allowed
}
However, I've realised that this can be skipped by calling the actions
using a lowercase name, e.g. controller/moveup/ will still call the
moveUp action, but the isAuthroized check will be skipped.
At the moment, the best fix I can think of is using strtolower to get
a lowercase version of the action for checking in the isAuthorized
function.
But is this something that cakePHP should protect agaisnt?

Re: Possible Memory Leak
I totally agree with other guys about demonizing it and making the process being able to pause, maybe restart the computer and contine from where you have paused. So I am writting to express wory about a precision of your results. I am not an old cake user and I haven't had a chance to do complex math functions in cake, but having in mind you have so many results you need to go through a simple 0.0001 mistake could multiply to something huge. Esepecialy if you have numbers with a lot of figures eg 123456789123.123456789123456789 Now in some cases floating numbers here just start to loose last figures and you don't even get that reported about that. I think it's cool you are trying to do this in cake because you will proove that anything is possible but I would without a hesitation check the results in math lab - software which actually is programmed , optimased and tested for such calculations and also does them more quickly. Also I believe - not sure - that you can rent supercomputers with matlab or smth like that like cloud computing and get your job done even quicker. I hope i didn't bother you too much :) All the best, Milos On Feb 22, 7:51 am, Maurits van der Schee maur...@vdschee.nl wrote: Hi, I use a single http request. Ah and that is your problem.

RE: Problem with accessing form data
$this-data // holds form data
Use debug! Make it your best friend. Don't know what data is held? Where it
went? Even if there is any?
if(!empty($this-data)){
Configure::write('debug', 2);//only if you need it for this action
debug($this-data);
exit();
}
My guess is it should be an array similar to
Array(
[Admin] = array(
[Code] = 1234
));
So $this-data['Admin']['Code'] would hold 1234

No, is should be handled in your routine. You need to normalise the
strings (eg. to lowercase). For example, this is how it's handled in
AuthComponent's startrup():
$action = strtolower($controller-params['action']);
...
$allowedActions = array_map('strtolower', $this-allowedActions);
$isAllowed = ($this-allowedActions == array('*') || in_array($action,
$allowedActions));
So, if you left it up to setting allowedActions, it'd be handled for
you. But, because you're doing your own isAuthorized() it's up to you
to ensure the strings are the same case.

Re: Relations between models
The classregistry way is the one I have seen as response to similar
questions.
In your example you are talking about races, so probably your Race
model has many cars and also has many spectators, in that case models
A and B are linked throug model C, so you could code something like:
$this-Car-Race-Spectator-find(
Please cakephp gurus out there, correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello,
I'm still a bit stuck in the MVC architecture. I've two models A and B
which are not logically linked (let's imagine model A is a racing car
and model B is a spectator of a race), so I haven't built any
association between them. How can I use both models in a function in
model A, I mean what is the best way to load B in A ? I4ve in mind two
solution : first one is loading models in controller, retrieving data
and passing them to function, but it's not controllers thin models
fat. Second one is classregistry loading inside of the model, but
might it be time consuming?
Example :
-FIRST example ---
AController
{
function AAA($a_id,$b_id)
{
$a=$this-a-find(..conditions = ... a_id)
$this-loadModel('b');
$b=$this-b-find((..conditions = ... b_id...);
$result=$this-a-funA($a,$b)
}
}
AModel
{
function funA($a,$b)
{Logic, whole stuff, data treatment}
}
SECOND example ---
AController
{
function AAA($a_id,$b_id)
{
$result=$this-a-funA($a_id,$b_id)
}
}
AModel
{
function funA($a_id,$b_id)
{
$a=$this-find(..conditions = ... a_id)
$b=ClassRegistry::init(a)-find(..conditions = ... b_id)
}
}
Thank you a lot!

Re: Creating a Preview page
I've finally got back to this. I just cannot get it to do anything
other than submit the form. When I click the 'Preview' button, the
form submits, I get a success message, and go back to the index page -
which is exactly what happens if I submit the form using the regular
Submit button.
I'd really appreciate any help - I'm new to Ajax, so I'm sure I'm just
doing something stupid, but I don't know where to start looking for
it.
Thanks!

I suspect the problem is that you haven't loaded the jquery.form
plugin. If that's the case, you'd get a fatal JS error and so the
preventDefault() wouldn't run, causing the form to submit normally to
your edit action.
If you happen to have an element for loading your FCK code, you could
add the form plugin there. For example, my jwysiwyg element has:
-- snip --
$this-Html-css('jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg', 'stylesheet',
array('media'='screen,projector', 'inline' = false));
$this-Html-css('jwysiwyg/inline_upload', 'stylesheet',
array('media'='screen,projector', 'inline' = false));
echo $this-Html-script('lib/jquery.form.min', false);
echo $this-Html-script('lib/jwysiwyg/jquery.wysiwyg', false);
echo $this-Html-script('editor', false);
/* Pass an empty string if uploads should not be enabled
*/
if (!isset($upload_path)) $upload_path = '';
/* Hidden should be an array of key = value pairs representing name/value for
* any hidden form elements that should be included in the upload form
*/
if (!isset($hidden)) $hidden = array();
$hidden = json_encode($hidden);
$code = '$(function() { ';
foreach($selectors as $selector)
{
$code .= initEditor('${selector}', '${upload_path}', ${hidden});\n;
}
$code .= '});';
$this-Html-scriptBlock($code, array('inline' = false));
-- snip --
http://jquery.malsup.com/form/
Also, it's been awhile since I used FCK. Does it have an autosave
feature? Some of these editor widgets don't automatically save the
contents of the iframe (or whatever) back to the original textarea
when something changes. You may have to make a point of copying the
FCK content to your form before submitting.
Also, also: Instead of adding a break after your label, youcould
instead style it as display: block.

I don't see any reason to believe the CakePHP shell would behave differently. If you don't want your script to run if another copy of itself is already running, I'd guess you'd have to write the code to prevent that, just as you would if you were writing a non-CakePHP script or a perl script or whatever. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
