RE: [fw-general] Zend_Cache + Tags + Expiry = Exceeding max execution time?

2010-06-09 Thread Steven Brown
Check out my blog posts:

http://www.yewchube.com/2009/03/zend_cache_backend_file-auto-clean-causing-problems/
http://www.yewchube.com/2009/04/zend_cache_backend_file-and-tag-based-cleaning/

Basically the cleaning process takes too long if you have a large number of 
cache entries. Metadata is not indexed so the cleaning process needs to open 
and check every single metadata file.

Turn the auto cleaning off and use a cron job instead so your users are not 
impacted, or switch to memcache which cleans itself (remember to turn auto 
cleaning off here too).

Cheers,

Subject: [fw-general] Zend_Cache + Tags + Expiry = Exceeding max execution time?

Hi,

I've not done much in the way of extensive testing in this regard but I
figured I'd ask some questions and see if any other folks are in this
situation.

I've been developing a fairly extensive data denormalisation system
which is based on Zend_Cache + the File backend. It makes use of Tags to
ensure that the relevant bits of denormalised data are expired properly
(lifetime is infinite).

I'm only rolling this out minimally just now, but plan to take this
*much* further in due course.

The problem is, that I've had several errors in my log telling me that
the maximum script execution time has been exceeded. This always happens
in Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php on line 655, 659 or 962.

This part of the file generally relates to the clean() method (i.e.
called when deleting by tag).


So my question is, how scalable is the tagging support in Zend Cache
File? Currently I only have about 89megs of data in about 22k files (so
about 11k cached items, bearing in mind that half the files are metadata).

I suspect that when I roll out this denormalisation scheme more
extensively, I'll have closer to a million files.

Has anyone done any scalability tests on this? For my purposes, I'm
happy to actually store the metadata regarding tags in a database table
and expire the items based on that (so create a HybridFile.php backend
of sorts - I have already created something similar to allow me to
support tags with Memcache backend). Is this an approach that would
scale better? Has anyone done anything similar to this?

[fw-general] Would anyone want Zend_VersionControl_Subversion?

2010-03-18 Thread Steven Brown
For fun, I began experimenting with putting together a PHP implementation of
a Subversion client that uses the svn protocol and thought it might be a
useful addition to ZF.

 

Bill Karwin pointed out that a PECL extension already exists to provide this
functionality, though the documentation is filled with warnings about it
being experimental.

 

I suggest that it is possible in some hosting environments that developers
won't have the PECL extension installed and may not be able to install it.

 

Some uses for such a module include:

 

1.   Deployment - code can be installed or updated using PHP code

2.   Repository browsing - for tools such as bug/issue trackers

3.   Committing - for example if files can be changed in an admin area,
the changes can be committed to the repository

 

I think it should be possible to provide similar functionality for Git,
Mercurial, and other version control systems.

 

I have already started developing an adapter that uses the svn protocol, but
others could be created that use SSH or LDAP/HTTP access, or the PECL
extension.

 

Would Zend_VersionControl_Subversion be useful or is it just a waste of
time?

 

Cheers,

Steven

[fw-general] Why does Zend_Json_Server check namespaces against a regex?

2009-12-20 Thread Steven Brown
Hi all,

I'm implemented a JSON-RPC server, but I've been snagged.

The namespace I want to use starts with a number.

This namespace does not pass the regular expressions that validate the
namespaces in Zend_Json_Server_Smd_Service and Zend_Json_Server_Request, as
a result the JSON-RPC server does not work.

If I remove the regular expression checks the code all works fine.

Given that namespaces starting with numbers are allowed in JSON-RPC, why are
they being blocked in Zend_Json_Server?

Please don't suggest that I use a different namespace, due to forces outside
of my control this would be a major headache.

Cheers,
Steven

RE: [fw-general] Zend_Cache question

2008-08-11 Thread Steven Brown
Hi Jack,

 

From what I know the cache is cleaned automatically, you have no way to
retrieve something that is cleaned to reset it later.

 

This means you will have to handle this process yourself. I would suggest
storing the result in a separate file so that if your request fails you can
load from the file and store it back in cache. If the requests succeeds you
can store the result in the file and in the cache.

 

Cheers,
Steven

Hi, 
First of all, I don't really know how Zend_Cache works internally, so I'm
making one (possibly incorrect) assumption, that expired items are not
removed from the cache until they are requested via $cache-load();

Now, is the following possible, and if so how?

*   You have a cache set up where stored items expire after 24 hours
*   There is an item in the cache which was added 25 hours ago and
originally came from a remote source
*   You make a request for the item, it has expired, so load() returns
nothing
*   You make a request to the remote system for the latest data
*   If the request is successful the new data is added to the cache in
the usual way
*   If the request is unsuccessful the old data that has now expired is
reset to be valid for another 24 hours (or possibly less)

I want to do this in order to ensure that there is never no data available.
Is is possible? Thanks,

RE: [fw-general] Zend Framework 1.6 Release Candidate 1 now available!

2008-07-23 Thread Steven Brown
Hi Matthew,

Extracted Dojo makes up 35.2MB of the total 57.9MB, leaving 22.6MB for the
rest of the framework.

1.5.2 was 21.0MB, so I would say the Dojo addition is a large fraction.

ZIP compressed the externals folder alone (which only contains Dojo) is
22.7MB, removing externals and recompressing leaves me with 6.37MB where
1.5.2 was 6.11MB.

Will this stop me from using ZF? No, but it does concern me that future
partnerships will add to the file size.

Well, for one, there are a ton of new components, which means more code,
more tests, and more documentation. As you also note, Dojo is shipping
with ZF now, which also boosts the size some (though the Dojo repo is
fraction of ZF's size).

 Can have a download (of the final release) without dojo (assuming
 that's the culprit) for those of us that don't use it?

We have been discussing shipping a lean-and-mean distribution that
does not include documentation, tests, dojo, or the localization files
(the i18n/l10n files account for a large percentage of the distro). I'm
not sure how soon we will be doing this, but it _has_ been on our radar
for some time.

It happens because information about executed tests printed on screen is
treated by Zend_Session as borwser output and it will throw an exception.
It could probably be fixed by changing it to detect if it's run on command
line and skip this check.

 Hi Ashish

 I don't think your SQL problems can be attributed to the Apache
 configuration - can you compare the final SQL query from the 'old'
 server with the new? Is the 'fetchCount' called from within a model
 that extends Zend_Db_Table? Have you also run the query from within
 the database on the same machine to ensure there's nothing incorrect
 about the new setup in PHP?

 One sure fire way would be to install PHPUnit on your newer server and
 run the unit tests to see if it's a ZF problem or perhaps more related
 to the way your code extends it.


 Thanks for your Steven.

 Could you please explain as what exactly needs to be checked in Apache
 configuration. As far as the .htaccess file is concerned, it is same
 as
 ealier (no changes made in that).

 The most weird part which I am not getting is why the SQL query is not
 working now? The function ..

 public function fetchCount($cols = '*', $where = null)
{
$rowset = $this-fetchCols(new
 Zend_Db_Expr(sprintf('COUNT(%s) AS
 total_records', $cols)), $where);
return (integer) $rowset-current()-total_records;

}

 . .. is returning all the columns from the table and NOT the count
 only.

RE: [fw-general] Unique Login and Password, All Applications

2008-05-07 Thread Steven Brown
Hi Jose,

 

I think in order to achieve this you need to run all of your logins through
a single domain, once a login has been confirmed you set a cookie on a
per-domain basis. You could pass around a session identifier and set cookies
as the user goes from one domain to the next. If a user hits a domain
without the session identifier you could pass them through the login domain
(with details on where to send them back to) which will automatically detect
if they are logged in and return the session identifier.

 

You could likely include this login box using an iframe, the iframe could
perform the login (or detect that they are logged in) through your central
domain and redirect the parent window, or set a javascript variable, or call
a javascript function.

 

You can’t achieve this through XHR since you can’t call other domains.

Steven

2008-03-11 Thread Steven Brown
Hi all,

I've been writing some unit tests and have had some trouble with mail.

I send mail using my application and then check these emails in my unit
tests. All of this is handled by a local mail server (hMailServer).

If I use CURL to request pages from my local server that send mail, the SMTP
commands of the page all happen before the POP commands of my unit tests, so
the mail is sent, then checked.

If I load my bootstrap in my unit test the SMTP and POP commands are mixed
up, so that not all SMTP commands are finished before POP commands are sent.
This means the account can be checked before the mail has been sent, even
though in the code the sending commands are before the checking commands.

This happens whether I use PHP's mail() or Zend_Mail.

It appears as though the local server waits for the SMTP commands to finish
before it returns a result to CURL, whereas directly accessing my bootstrap
allows the SMTP commands to run in the background almost as a separate
thread.

Any ideas on why this is happening? How can I force the SMTP commands to
finish before code execution continues?

Cheers,
Steven

Can you send a snippet of your code used to send your mail? The  
Zend_Mail SMTP transport is transactional and will process each mail  
object by direct interaction with the target server, so I can't  
understand why it is executing parallel with your POP requests.

RE: [fw-general] Zend_Mail SMTP Threading?

2008-03-11 Thread Steven Brown
Hi Justin,

Yes I understand about mail queuing, however:

1. This is a local mail server with no queue (and the logs report 0.00
seconds to queue)
2. The system works without a problem when I use CURL
3. The mail server's logs show that the command to send the message are
being received by the server after the commands to view the mail
4. Delaying the checking of the email by up to 10 seconds does not change
any of this

Cheers,
Steven

i doubt there are any separate threads here. the basic issue is that 
smtp commands finishing != message delivered to intended recipients 
mailbox.

usually, smtp commands finishing in php code just means the mail server 
has accepted the message into its queue. so:

time a: smtp commands finish in php code
time a + n: pop commands run
time a + N: message gets to user mailbox

if n is greater than N, then your tests will run ok. if not, then they wont.

N is not dependent on your scripts or tests, but on an external process 
- the mail server.

so, the simplest thing to do is to make n larger by putting a sleep call 
in before you run the pop checks.

another less simple approach is to use mock objects to represents the 
mail process.

make sense?

 Steven

Hi Simon,

You could possibly tag it and use that tag to remove the cache after it has

Hi there - I have a quick Q about caching pages using the Zend_Cache  
'Page' frontend.

Is there any way of telling Zend_Cache not to store the page after the  
hit has been tested?

I.e. what I'd like to be able to do is to allow page caching as per  
normal for 99% of my pages, but in some controller/actions have the  
ability to cancel the page 'save' through the cache instance so the  
page is never cached? I realise I can perform a regex in the caching  
options but that's effectively a static rule. I'd like to be able to  
more closely control this based on user state and so forth.

Look forward to any help/hints

Cheerio!

The loading order was:

3. Action - Zend_Loader the Select class
4. Action - Create the Select element (wrapped in the Cache bits)

Subject: [fw-general] Zend_Form_Element_Select speed / caching questions

Hi all,

I'm using a Select element in one of my forms that displays a list of
timezones for the user to choose from.  The timezone list itself is
stored in an array that currently contains 437 items.  I then add the
timezone array using the addMultiOptions() message.

Unfortunately, this causes noticable slowness when loading the page.
I added some timing code and the page load went from 0.8 seconds to
1.6 seconds.  Removing the timezone Select element dropped the page
load time to normal levels (ie, 0.02, 0.03, etc).

I had a play about with Zend_Cache to see if I could cache just the
Select element (the rest of the page is very dynamic else I'd just
cache the whole page) but didn't have much sucess.  Zend_Cache_Core
didn't seem to serialize the Select object correctly so I ended up
with an error in the View about an incomplete object.

I also tried Zend_Cache_Class but whilst that just didn't display the
Select element (no errors).

So at this point, I'm out of ideas.

Anyone got any ideas to help speed up my form without manually coding
the HTML for the timezone Select element into my View? :)

Thanks,
Al.

RE: [fw-general] Addition of utility classes to ZF

2008-02-05 Thread Steven Brown
Hi Darby,

I know that the Australian BPAY system when I implemented it a few years ago
required generation of order numbers with a check digit attached. There were
several algorithms to choose from but ofcourse the Luhn is not a bad option.

I am also currently working on a system where customer numbers and affiliate
IDs are generated and check digits will be a nice simple addition to ensure
people enter these correctly.

Verhoeff is just an alternative to Luhn in these examples. Any accounts
system could benefit from check digits for account numbers, invoice numbers,
product numbers etc.

My point generally with these algorithms and the card type detection is that
while the Validate classes are certainly valuable, a Validate class is
probably not technically the correct place for these utilities to exist.
Perhaps a Zend_Util_Luhn or Zend_Math_Luhn or other grouping name might
allow not only these but many other utilities to exist without needing a
specific application, instead specific applications (such as Validate) can
be built to use these classes.

I know there is a discussion at the moment regarding ZF packaging that may
be along a similar line to what I am talking about.

Cheers,
Steven

 Hi Darby,

I suppose it could be separated easily enough. In fact, the Ccnum
validator does barely more than ensuring the Luhn algorithm is followed
for the digits of the input (it ensures the number of digits is between
13 and 19, no big deal). Probably the Ccnum validator would simply make
use of the new Luhn validator.

 There is an application to generate check digits for account numbers etc.
 The same applies to Verhoeff, validation is not the only purpose.

For what application(s) are you wishing to use a separate Luhn
validator, I'm curious? For account numbers? What kinds of accounts?

In any case, you can file a JIRA issue for this and, if you're willing,
make these contributions yourself (of course I am happy to help!):

http://framework.zend.com/issues/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa

http://framework.zend.com/community/contribute/

By validation I simply mean that:

* input is checked against some criteria

* the validator returns a boolean, whether or not the input satisfy the
criteria

* the validator also provides the reason(s) for validation failure,
should the input not satisfy the criteria

How might your use case differ from this?

 On the note of the Zend_Validate_Ccnum class, what if we wanted to
 automatically detect what credit card was being used (based on
 numbers/length)? While Zend_Validate_Ccnum would be good for ensuring a
card
 is a particular type (and that the check digit is correct) is this the
place
 for code to figure out what the card type is?

I don't know of a better place offhand, but I'm open to suggestions. I
can imagine that the Ccnum validator could recognize what type of card
was being used and provide this information separately. For example:

$ccnumValidator = new Zend_Validate_Ccnum();
if (!$ccnumValidator-isValid($ccnum)) {
// validation failed; see $ccnumValidator-getMessages()
} else {
// validation passed; get the card brand
echo $ccnumValidator-getCardBrand(); // prints VISA or something
}

 Sorry if this is obvious to everyone else but it seems to me that there is
 need for a utility class area to feed things like validation, but also be
 used elsewhere.

I'm not sure exactly what you're suggesting. What utilities do you think
we need to add and where?

Thanks!

Darby

There are a lot of open issues in the issue tracker and I bet there are a lot

It's all open source, alright, but you, at Zend, certainly have a vision and 
some standards you try to keep to. So having that in mind, instead of fixing 
bugs I'm hesitating over issues all the time and skipping them if I have any 
doubts. And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone on this :)

Is there some kind of a process in choosing which issues are going to be fixed 
or implemented? I mean, is there someone who scans the issues daily and marks 
them as won't be done or to be done? If not, maybe it would be a good idea 
to somehow mark the issues for all your devoted developers.

Or maybe there already is some way to make sure that we can take this or that 
issue on ourselves?

You must return all the results, as Lucene must score each document to sort

Lucene is optimized so that data is only read on demand.  When you do a

for information about the document, it looks up the document in the index
and returns that information.

little google search, I discovered that there are misc attempts to
represent date/ datetime types in json, e.g.

@119862720@
and
new Date(119862720)

there seems to be no standard yet, however, the second variant looks quite
common.

Did anyone of you also have this problem and how did you solve it?
Basically, it'd imho be cool to convert such a value into a Zend_Date
type. What do you think? Would a patch of

Zend_Json_Decoder::_decodeValue()

have a chance to be included into the framework? Or would you rather wait
until the date representation is standardized?

On my local Windows machine output buffering is 4096 but I know Apache on

I tested on a linux server and it also worked, output buffering was set to no

Do var_dump(session_get_cookie_params()) at the end of your bootstrap
If you have :

If I call Zend_Session::rememberMe() in my authController I have
'lifetime' = int 0 which mean the cookie will die when the browser get 
closed.

RE: [fw-general] Zend_Cache Images How To ?

2007-11-06 Thread Steven Brown
Hi Juan,

The best application of Zend_Cache to what you are doing might be something 
like the following:

$im = imagecreatefrompng(test.png);

Storing $im in cache probably won't help unless you are repeatedly resizing the 
same images, if they are user uploaded images there is no benefit from caching. 
You could use Zend_Cache_Frontend_File to refresh the cache when the file 
changes (if you are resizing the same images).

// do your resizing here

You could have a function/method that performs the resize based on input data. 
You could use Zend_Cache_Frontend_Function or Zend_Cache_Frontend_Class for 
this, however once again it will only really help if you are repeatedly 
resizing the same images.

imagepng($im);

This pumps the result to the page or to a file, you might use Zend_Cache and 
some output buffering to capture the output and store it in cache, but once 
again this only really works if you are repeatedly resizing the same images.

The end result is if you're resizing user uploaded images, they will almost 
never be the same, so caching can't help you. If you're constantly resizing the 
same images I would recommend you store them in PNG files (or whatever format 
you want) using a database ID or other identifier so they can be loaded by the 
browser without having to involve PHP at all.

Zend_Cache doesn't really help you here as the load saving comes when your 
input data is the same as that matching something that has already been cached 
and it can load the cached version and bypass the processing.

I hope this answers your question.

Cheers,
Steven

[fw-general] Suggested Zend_Cache changes

2007-10-10 Thread Steven Brown
Hi all,

I would like to put up a few Zend_Cache changes for discussion:

1. Zend_Cache_Frontend_Class should not require cachedEntity in the options,
instead you would be able to pass either a class name or object to a call
method just like Zend_Cache_Frontend_Function. I understand the current
setup is a bit cooler in that you can simply call the method directly on the
cache object, however I feel this is not flexible in allowing me to use the
same cache object for methods of multiple classes or objects.

2. Zend_Cache_Frontend_File should not require a unique ID, it should be
automatically generated from the path and filename in the same way some of
the other frontends are able to automatically generate IDs.

3. In Zend/Cache/Backend there is a file called Test.php, is this supposed
to be there?

4. It would be good to be able to allow cache atrophy. There are two
different forms of atrophy that could be available based on data changes:

a) A minimum and maximum cache expiry are set (say 5 mins, 30 mins),
at first the expiry is at the minimum (5 mins), if the data has not changed
at the end of the   expiry period, the expiry period then increases by
the atrophy rate (say 20%) so it is then longer (6 mins). This continues
until the maximum expiry period. If the data has changed at an
expiry point, the expiry period is reset to the minimum (5 mins) or possibly
decreases and the process starts again. This attempts to spend less time
refreshing cache that does not change often.

b) A minimum and maximum cache expiry are set (say 5 mins, 30 mins),
at first the expiry is at the maximum (30mins), if the data has changed at
the end of the expiry   period, the expiry period then decreases by the
atrophy rate (say 20%) so it is then shorter (24 mins). This continues until
the minimum expiry period. If the data  has not changed at an expiry point,
the expiry period is reset to the maxmimum (30 mins) or possibly increases
and the process starts again. This attempts to keep changing data
fresher.

There is also another approach based on traffic:

c) Minimum and maximum expiries are set as above, along with traffic
levels and an atrophy level. As an item becomes more and more popular the
cache expiry gets   shorter and shorter to ensure the data is as
up-to-date as possible.

d) Same as c except the cache expiry is set longer and longer as
the item gets more popular. This means the load is being reduced by caching
more and more when itemsare popular, however they become more and
more out-of-date.

Any feedback on these concepts would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Steven

RE: [fw-general] how to retain value in form using zend

That’s a good question.

 

The simple answer is to have the data in hidden fields in the page.

 

I guess you could store the data in a namespace with a unique ID, that ID
would be sent back in with the POST or GET to retrieve the data for further
editing.

Hi Steven,

Using sessions to store form data may lead to data overlapping. That's a
good point, I didn't take into account. The main point using the session was
to store form data in case that we have a preview action. In this case form
data is no longer in the post array. What would be in your opinion the best
way to store data in this case? Thanks.

RE: [fw-general] How to generate a good cache identifier based on URL?

2007-08-31 Thread Steven Brown
Here's what worked for me:

$cacheName = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$cacheName = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/', '__', $cacheName);

if(!($output = $cache-load($cacheName))) {

You need to strip out all the other junk because the cache identifier is
used in the file name. I used __ because the URI would likely have _ but not
__, and just stripping the junk out could cause two different URIs to be the
same.

Also I was trying to use the Function cache frontend for accessing object
methods and had to build my own as the default one does not handle methods,
only functions (as far as I could tell).

Hi all,
I am using a caching identifier based on the URL. But I'm getting
strange effects: when accessing a URL I see the cached version of
*another* page.

This is the code I'm using for the cache identifier.

$cache_identifier = ereg_replace(/, _, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$cache_identifier = ereg_replace(., _, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$cache_identifier = preg_replace(/([^a-zA-Z0-9_-])/, '',
$cache_identifier);

I added that last line because I was getting errors saying that the
cache identifier could only have a-z and _- characters.

Any thoughts on how to improve this would be very welcome :)

Thanks!
Peter

$cache_identifier = md5($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
