Hi, I've used it on a few sites - and I sort of can't do without any more :) - just kidding, but the clean seperation of logic and presentation helps a lot creating maintainable code. Speedwise it's very fast, no complaints there. There might have been a couple limitation here and there (uhm - new versions took care of that for me as well), but then you can write your own extensions in no time and get around those as well. Bottom line: I definitely recommend it. Richard -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I wanted to standardize on something, so I went for the most ubiquitous. Really, I couldn't be happier with it in every regard. At first it may seem like more than you need, but continue working with it and you'll find new design strategies that take you further than you ever thought you'd go. It's one of those things you start using and never look back. I use it on almost every project now, even small ones. There are the naysayers who complain it's too bloated for basic work, but I think the powerful benefits far outweigh any performance issues. I've never felt like it was slow or too much for a given task.

Re: [PHP] Re: Reusing MySQL Connections - Can it be done?
This is weird, it works for me, I use Oracle though.
The real application uses ADODB but it should work with the PHP native
resources.
I do this:
1. Define a singleton function, for example: getDBConnection()
function &getDBConnection() {
$db =& GLOBALS['APP_DB_CONNECTION'];
if (!is_object($db)) {
// Here we make the connection
$db =& WHAT_EVER_CONNECTION_FUNCTION_YOU_WANT();
// At this point $db is a valid connection object
GLOBALS['APP_DB_CONNECTION'] =& $db;
}
return $db
}
2. From every function that connects to the database you just call the
singleton:
function &getActiveCustomers() {
$db =& getDBConnection();
$sql = "SELECT .";
// Here you execute the sql like you normally would
return $rs; // This is the resultset
}
Note that in step 1 you can use the resource variable returned by native
PHP functions, in my case I use ADODB so I store the object which isn't
that different because inside that object resides the PHP resource. So
you can change the line 'if (!is_object($db))' for
'if(!is_resource($db))'.
If you look the singleton carefully you'll see that the connection
process is executed just the first time. For example, if a user
requests executes 10 queries to the database, the connection will be
actually made in the first call to the singleton. The successive calls
will return the connection stored in the global scope.
I can tell for sure that this approach works very well. If it doesn't
for you, there might be a more fundamental problem in your configuration
or in your code.

-William

[PHP] For your reference, how to validate dynamic form fields.
Just spent far too long trying to figure out how to do this, so I thought I'd
pass it on to you great guys, in case you need it for the future.
I used PHP to create multiple form rows, each one numbered:
");
}
?>
This creates a number of rows, each with a unique form value name. The problem
I had was that I needed to validate those rows, to make sure they were
numeric... Here's what I did. Have fun!
User ID Entry Example
function isNumeric(strString)
{
var strValidChars = "0123456789-.";

Re: [PHP] php + lynx + grep
Functions like system, exec etc aren't supported by most ISP ( at least over
here in germany ). But you might give
file_get_contents();
file();
...
a look as they can read the output of HTTP request which might be easier:
$var = file ( 'http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KTOL.html' );
foreach ( $var AS $line ) {
if ( preg_match( "41-35-19N" , $var ) )
... etc pp
}
good luck,

Your function doesn't seem to make any sense to be honest - you're
passing in the $day value to strtotime (a function that ideally
requires English language date formats) and then asking it to
calculate a timestamp based off the offset of the month and year.
So ultimately you're feeding strtotime = 10, timestamp
which means it's going to try and calculate the difference between 10
and the given timestamp (which is going to be a lot!)
What exactly is this function *supposed* to do?

Replace the above two lines with

if(!empty($day) && !empty($month) && !empty($year)){
//convert $day, $month, and $year into a valid timestamp
$time= strtotime($day, mktime(0,0,0,$month,1,$year));
$time=date("YmdHis", $time);
return $time; }
else {

now when i try to use itlike this:
//$startingday $startingmonth and $startingyear are all form
//variables
$_SESSION['add']['start_date']=CreateDate($startingday, $startingmonth, $startingyear);
//now echo the date: assuming lets say we used 10/5/2004
//in the original form:
Start Date:
my output ends up being Monday January 18, 2038 no matter what i try to use in the

[PHP] Max Filesize for PHP copy
I posted this in the Netware PHP newsgroup, but have not gotten a response. Hopefully I will get something here. I was using a script to copy a file from one location to another. It was working great (but was only testing with small files under 1MB) and then when I tried uploading a file that was a little over 4MB the server abended with the message "Cache memory allocator out of available memory". I looked in the PHP.ini file and changed the max filesize to 5MB and tried to copy the same file. It worked, but I received the same message, but it didn't abend. I don't think that this is normal and would appreciate any suggestions as to a better method or an explanation as to what may be causing this.

You answer your own question immediately after you ask it.
