Re: Data validation doesn't work when on live server
1) You're probably running CentOS on your production server. 2) CentOS ships with broken PCRE UTF-8 libraries. 3) A few of the validation rules in CakePHP use multibyte flags (e.g. for alphanumeric validation) Combine the above, and you get the problem you've described. Solutions: 1) Ditch CentOS. It's a piece of shit for PHP web development. It ships with PHP 5.1.6 (4 years old), an ancient version of Apache, OpenSSL 3.x (which is currently at a 5.x release), and more. Using CentOS is just going to cause pain and trouble. 2) Stick with the shit that is CentOS, and fix the RPMs: http://gaarai.com/2009/01/31/unicode-support-on-centos-52-with-php-and-pcre/ 3) Write your own custom validation rules for any built-in rules that use multibyte flags in the regular expressions. There aren't really any other options. -jperras On Feb 17, 3:43 pm, Atti wrote: > Hi all, > Just a quick question, I managed to get my data validation working > perfectly on my local apache (XAMPP) web server, but as soon as I > uploaded the site to the internet the validation flag seems to be > always true, ie, there is not validation going on, so it seems.

Re: Last retrieved data accessible in model?..
How would you get it to persist between requests? `var $cacheQueries = true;` will cache the results of model queries in memory, which might be what you're looking for. If you're looking for something that can persist the last accessed data across requests, I'd implement what you're describing by implementing a Model::afterFind() in your app_model which caches the results. -jperras.

Re: caching Media View

Re: Possible bug relative to use of memcache
Memcache being used as a cache configuration and Sessions have pretty
much nothing in common, unless you've set your session save handler
(in app/core.php) to be cache-based, which is usually not a good idea
unless you know what you're doing.

Uncomment the configure directive of Asset.timestamp in app/config/

Re: CakePHP + PHP5.3 = ?
Alright guys, it seems like you're all a bit confused. If you only read one line of this entire post, read this: CakePHP 1.3 ! = Cake3 Now, while this may seem obvious to many, you guys have made the same mistake that I've seen a few times on the #cakephp channel. The first is a branch in the cakephp 1.x project, and the last is a completely different beast altogether. CakePHP 1.2 supports PHP4 and PHP5.2, inclusively. PHP 5.3 introduced a few changes to the error handler flags, which we have accounted for in CakePHP 1.3-dev and will be accounting for in all subsequent releases. The reason we are not including PHP 5.3 compatibility in CakePHP 1.2.x is that we want people to move forward to CakePHP 1.3 & up when they become stable. If you're willing to update the php *language* to a new point release and not willing to update your application to a new framework point release, I think you have a slight disconnect. If you want, you could always apply the patches that we have committed to 1.3- dev to a local git branch, and continue on your merry way by merging in upstream changes from 1.2.x into your local branch. CakePHP 1.2.x and 1.3.x are in *the same project*, at http://code.cakephp.org/cakephp . 1.2 and 1.3-dev are simply different branches. CakePHP 2.0, a *different project*, is *also* being worked on, which will be PHP 5.2 and up *only*, meaning we're dropping support for PHP4. See http://code.cakephp.org/cakephp2 to follow along the development of this project. The goal of this release is to be a nearly transparent upgrade for anyone running CakePHP 1.3 stable (whenever that is released), meaning that the two should be pretty much 100% API compatible. Finally Cake3 is a *different project*, found at http://code.cakephp.org/cake3. This is an experimental project which is a complete rewrite of the CakePHP framework from the ground up, and will *only* support PHP 5.3 and up. I hope this clears up some of the confusion. -jperras.

Re: javascript -> link in element doesnt work
You can't use JavascriptHelper::link from an element to insert scripts into the header; this is a fundamental constraint imposed by the two- step render engine ( http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/twoStepView.html ). There are some ways around this using the class registry, but that's mostly meant for use in custom helpers that need to insert scripts into the header. -jperras.

Also, while the information you provide is great, it can be done without the blatant spam for your "Software Testing Training". If people want to attend a training, they can find one easily enough.

Re: Automated Functional Testing
Selenium is quite well suited for functional testing, and has a huge amount of features, and doesn't require you to write tests in XML (*shudder*) or in Groovy (dying language). You can even get distributed testing up & running quickly enough, which offsets the test time & allows you to test as many browsers as you have access to. http://seleniumhq.org/ http://selenium-grid.seleniumhq.org/ -j.

Re: Official forum for CakePHP
You can do all of this already. Use http://bin.cakephp.org (or any other online bin of your choice), and paste the link here. With the Google Groups, you don't need categorization. Google is pretty damn good at searching & indexing the groups. A forum would only duplicate functionality, and would split information across two separate services/domains, making it *harder* to find things; The group already has several years of data, and it's not something easy to migrate. -j.

Re: New Behavior not 'attaching' on live server...
Try naming it 'datetime.php' instead of 'Datetime.php'. Some operating systems are more case sensitive than others, and PHP itself has a few odd casing rules for method names & object instances.

Re: cakephp project scaling, load balancing problem by using xampp linux on centos
Would it be possible to use database session storage in your application instead? There are two configuration changes that need to be made in your app/core.php file, and one table that needs to be created in your database. The rest should happen automagically. I've found that with load-balanced app servers, database storage for sessions causes less headaches than whatever HAProxy/Apache Proxy + sticky sessions can offer at the cost of a few additional SQL queries. However, it the benefits would largely be dependent on your application structure & current bottlenecks. -J.

Re: Change the content-type
If you believe the behavior is not as you would expect, write a test
case & submit a bug report to http://trac.cakephp.org
If you don't know what a unit test is, please take a look at
http://mark-story.com/files/unit_testing.pdf . It's a big PDF, but
explains the concept quite well.
Thanks!

On Tickets & The Core Team: Why some tickets get tagged as 'wontfix' or 'invalid'
(for context, please read the comments for ticket #5145:
https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/5145 . I chose continue this
discussion in the google group because it is a more appropriate venue
for this type of discourse).
First, let me state that neither myself or *anyone* on the CakePHP
core team gets their jollies from closing tickets as 'wontfix' or
'invalid'. We all appreciate the time & effort that is spent in
writing a ticket, and are grateful that people are attempting to make
CakePHP a better framework.
Alright, I'm going to take the time to explain the reasoning behind
the 'wontfix' tag that was attributed to ticket
https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/5145
and perhaps offer some insight in the thought processes that go on
behind the scenes that are not usually explained, for the simple
reason that writing a small novella for each ticket would consume all
the free time that any of us has.
First, you must note that CakePHP is an ''opinionated'' framework; we
enforce certain conventions and (what we consider to be) best
practices. This also translates to any code that is included in the
core; if we believe that certain enhancements/features would go
against accepted best-practices of development, then it has no place
in the official codebase. Being conscious of the limitations of the
real world, however, we have endeavoured to allow users of the
framework to customize & extend the base functionality to accommodate
a wide variety of edge case uses, an example of which is the topic of
this ticket: Validation rules. The rules that are provided in the core
are present for one of two reasons: 1) the rule is quite common and
used in many different applications (e.g. notEmpty, numeric) or 2) the
implementation of the rule is quite complex, and we feel it best to
provide that functionality so that people need not re-invent the wheel
(e.g. credit cards, date and time). The alphanumeric+ whitespace
+whitelist_of_valid_characters rule which you have proposed does not
fall within either of the above two categories.
It is not a rule which many people require, simply because if you are
allowing non alphanumeric characters, you need to either provide a
whitelist or a blacklist of additional characters. Neither of these
options is maintainable in the long-term; you will be eternally adding
characters to your (white|black)list to comply with varying & changing
requirements from your application.
However, I do understand that the real-world sometimes does not
coincide with the ivory tower that comprises best practices of
software design & implementation patterns. This is where the
extensibility of the framework comes into play. The above validation
rule that you both desire can be very easily implemented in a variety
of places: 1) in a model, for domain-specific validation that need not
be available to the rest of your application. 2) at the AppModel
level, so that all your models in a given application may use it. 3)
In a behavior, so that you can pick & choose which models will have
the custom validation rules available to them. In addition, this also
allows you to make the rules portable; you could even package it up in
a plugin along with some test cases, thus utilizing the full extent of
CakePHP's extensibility.
Furthermore, every line of code that is added to the CakePHP codebase
is a line of code that the core team needs to maintain. What might
seem like a simple validation rule addition actually encompasses the
validation rule itself, a new test case with at least a dozen new
assertions, possible modification of bake templates for models to
include the new validation rule, integration tests for the new
validation rule and its interaction with the FormHelper, in addition
to whatever new functionality gets added in future versions. As a
result, what seems like a simple addition of a few lines of code
snowballs into several hundred lines and countless hours of work. Thus
you can imagine why we shy away from adding new 'features' that
introduce infinitesimally new functionality, especially when such
functionality is actually best implemented with your own application
logic in mind. This is not to say that we never plan on adding new and
awesome things to CakePHP; you need only visit the development branch
for 1.3 on http://thechaw.com/cakephp/source/branches/1.3 to see for
yourself.
Given all that I've said, however, I still realize that sometimes
certain problems need dirty solutions. To this end, I've written a
simple example of how you would create an alphanumeric
+whitelist_of_valid_characters rule:
// in either your app_model.php or a model class
public function alnumWhitelist($data, $whitelist = array()) {
$data = array_values($data);
$check = $data[0];
$whitelist = implode($whitelist);
$rule = "/^[\p{Ll}\p{Lm}\p{Lo}\p{Lt}\p{Lu}\p{Nd}{$whitelist}]+
$/mu";
return preg_match($rule, $check);
}
// in your model validation rules
public $validate = array(
Re: is try catch necessary in CAKEPHP!
CakePHP is PHP. You can use whatever language constructs that PHP provides you, including try/catch blocks for operations that could throw exceptions. -j. sharmaji wrote: > Hi, > Is there any use of try and catch block in cake php? if yes, please > suggest me how can i implement that? > currently i am using php version 5.2 > Thanks! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

As for your custom query, it really depends. Cake does a lot for you,
but sometimes it makes sense to drop down to the bare metal and write
a custom query.

Re: Security question
If you're not modifying form fields with javascript, AJAX form
submissions should have no impact on the use of the Security component
and it's ability to prevent CSRF attacks.

Re: api.cakephp.org still broken
@mryellow: Closed without a fix? If that's so, then what are these, exactly? fix 1: http://thechaw.com/api_generator/commits/view/192582d9a64ff881610b2326d2ba3ad3f3f56d39 fix 2: http://thechaw.com/api_generator/commits/view/58d31c777ef7834158d38a1fedc44207878420db If you'll take note of the timestamps, the issues that you flagged were fixed within a matter of hours of you posting them (a full two *days* ago, might I add), and markstory's comment clearly indicates that "This has been fixed in the head branch and will be updated soon". Now, what part of that is ambiguous? The part about "fixed", or the part about "will be updated soon"? If you had any doubts as to the veracity of his statement, it would have taken you all of 35 seconds to saunter over to the api project page http://thechaw.com/api_generator (which markstory also mentioned in his first response to your ticket) and see that the project timeline clearly indicated that the two issues you noticed had been addressed. Just because you could not see them on the live server does not immediately mean that your tickets were disregarded; we have procedures for deploying code to production servers like every one else.
