Re: [PHP] html forms class in php

[Richard Harb]

Then again you can just put the pear stuff into a subdirectory of your
project site / whatever.

for PHP 4 >= 4.3.0 you could have a look at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-include-path.php

for older versions you can use ini_set (@see same url)
I've seen it done - works just as well. The pear libraries are PHP
code anyway, so it doesn't really have to be installed like
ImageMagick or TurckCache or something ...

[PHP] Exceptions and builtin functions in PHP5

[Tumurbaatar S.]

If I understand right, PHP5 has an exception
handling mechanism but it is only for "manual" using, i.e.
a programmer can use try/catch but only for own code.
PHP's built-in functions and functions from extensions still
use old "return value" method. Yes?

could it be that the field in the database is of type

md5() returns a 32 character string so whatever is stored in your DB is 
obviously truncated. Make sure the field holding the password is of 
sufficient size/length.

RE: [PHP] smarty

[Jason Sheets]

Some excellent points, however

Smarty makes it much easier to do certain tasks than doing it in strait PHP
and Smarty is extendable with PHP both directly and indirectly, you can
create Smarty modifiers and functions and if necessary write inline PHP
code.  

Web development has an hourly cost even when quoted per project, if I can
shave 2 hours of time off of a project I've saved the client $100 to $150 on
budget or increased my profit margin depending on the project and the
client.  Those two hours are also time that can be invested in polishing the
project or documenation, increasing the liklihood of an additional contract
with them.

Smarty is also open source so you aren't locked into a particular language,
if you don't like it you can change it or extend it easily.  You can change
quite a bit of its behavior including opening and closing delimiters, etc.

html_options is an excellent example of smarty functionality eliminating
several lines of code and several minutes of coding, sure you could
duplicate or implement the functionality in PHP but why re-invent the wheel.


Smarty also has the benefit of introducing template caching and some other
really powerful features that arne't available natively in PHP, you could
use some PEAR classes or other functionality or implement it yourself but
then you get into the whole re-inventing trap again.

In many ways Smarty helps turn PHP into an even faster rapid application
development platform for me resulting in more profit and a much more stable
platform to use for clients, resulting in fewer complaints and a lower
defect rate.

I think this conversation has resulted in quite a few good points on both
sides but has also exposed that most people already have a bias towards one
technique and are unlikely to be swayed to the other side until a business
need arises that forces it.

I fail to see the difference in complexity.  Taking an example straight form
the smarty docs:


{section name=mysec loop=$users}
{strip}

   {$users[mysec].name}
   {$users[mysec].phone}

{/strip}
{/section}


Looks the same to me as:

Not in my experience.  Smarty lies somewhere in between a programming
language and pseudo tags... In *my* experience training template
designers...
{section name=mysec loop=$users}
was more confusing than:


Your mileage may vary, of course, but that's not my point.

WHAT??? Are you suggesting that smarty templates are MORE EXTENSIBLE than
straight PHP???

This is exactly my point.  If you run with Smarty, you're LOCKED IN to that
language virtually forever.  Anything Smarty can do, I can replicate with
PHP (obviously), plus a whole heap more.  Smarty adds a layer of limitations
and simplicity to your templates, but at huge
cost:

You're locked into a proprietary templating language.  When that language
fails to deliver everything you want/need, you have no where to go.

A agree Smarty is fantastic at imposing limitations on it's templates, but
this is it's strength AND it's weakness.

Right about here I could sense where this was going I don't know, what
would you call it? Is there a non-buzzword term you'd be happier with?  
That term predates PHP by a number of years, so I'm not sure about buzz...

Sure, they could. However, take a look at all the newbie questions on this
list. Maybe you've got time for all that hand holding.. but Smarty is a
lot closer to HTML, which many of them already know.

How about the limitation of lack of infinite time? Seriously man, it's a
tool. If you think that I was claiming Smarty auto-magically did things
you couldn't do with PHP, you need to pay more attention...

Fight what? If you call inline code and variables a templating engine, I
can see why you don't get it. PHP can serve a templating purpose, but it
doesn't greatly facilitate that out of the box. It's not a strategy.

I don't want to get into a tit-for-tat, but there are a lot of things that
Smarty makes much easier and more flexible than coding straight PHP:

The ease of developing and applying different types of template plugins,
the ability to dynamically attach arbitrary functions as template plugins,
extending the Smarty class to encapsulate methods to control more complex 
template functionalities.. the list goes on..

Please read the next sentence twice. You can do it all with plain PHP, but
I can do it much faster with Smarty, which is merely a TOOL.

Again, very much not the point.

It's clear you're just trying to be antagonistic, so I won't beleaguer the
point. I have a strong understanding of PHP, and I myself find Smarty
easier to work with from a template design standpoint.

Please feel free to call me a total idiot, question my intelligence,
belittle me or the people I work with, and other side topics relating to
the technical merits of Smarty or the use of templating systems.

I found it really educational and enriching.
Thanks for your contribution.


PS: I think this is tired at this point; thank you to Justin for a
thoughtful response that reassured me it was still a discussion. I realize
that many PHP 'experts' (let's call them) may find different solutions
that suit them differently. People have different levels and different
needs. I personally like Smarty, and Smarty was the original topic of the
thread. I'm open to ideas, but going back to mixing PHP and HTML is not a
new idea nor a true templating system, and there are valid reasons I
sought out a more comprehensive approaches after doing it that way for
many years. I found much benefit in Smarty, and hope others will too.

In a perfect world you would be right, however if the var isn't set
then you'd get a notice (depending on your error reporting levels).

So I personally prefer to check against the !empty ...

---
That being said I have one more point to make:
Your if statement will fail if any  isn't satisfied. But you have no
way to tell which one was missing...

On pages where multiple fields are required I usually use something
like:

$errors = array();
$check_vars = array('type', 'start_date', 'end_date', ...);

foreach ($check_vars as $var) {
  if (empty($_SESSION['add']["$var"])) {
$errors[] = $var;
// or something like: $errors = get_error_desc_for($var);
// ... just making this up.
  }
}
if (count($errors)) {
  $output_errors = implode('', $errors);
} else {
  // run query
}

While I know that this contains a lot more code it's rather easy to
add another element to check against, and it allows me to pinpoint
exactly what's gone wrong ...

ok. not exactly what you asked for ... I was just in the mood :)

Uhm .. I usually do:

if (username is found)  // hopefully it's unique

This way you aleays have a value returned...

I fail to see the difference in complexity.  Taking an example straight

Unless your needs never exceed the very basics like you have

you want templating for, it's six of one, half a dozen of the other.

off if you invest a lot into building your sites this way, and then

WHAT??? Are you suggesting that smarty templates are MORE EXTENSIBLE 
than straight PHP???

This is exactly my point.  If you run with Smarty, you're LOCKED IN to 
that language virtually forever.  Anything Smarty can do, I can 
replicate with PHP (obviously), plus a whole heap more.  Smarty adds a 
layer of limitations and simplicity to your templates, but at huge 
cost:

You're locked into a proprietary templating language.  When that 
language fails to deliver everything you want/need, you have no where 
to go.

A agree Smarty is fantastic at imposing limitations on it's templates, 
but this is it's strength AND it's weakness.

You can consider it it's own language, but really it's more like PHP 
with
different formatting. Which is why it's different than what you're 
doing
above--it's designed to facilitate templating. Your method is just 
poking
in variables and PHP into inline'd HTML. It works, but you're missing 
some
of the power of Smarty if you think that's all it's good for.
I agree, there's more to smarty, but in the end, it's just an interface 
to PHP -- eventually you will hit the wall with the functionality that 
the interface allows.  Pure PHP templates however will only ever be 
limited by PHP itself.

In other words: are your template designers already good PHP 
programmers?
It's not just hype, it solves real problems, even if you don't have 
them.
As stated, this was not a problem for me, but it IS a problem for some. 
 Smarty is not a solution to every world problem.  It has it's place 
for sure, but I felt the need to point out that PHP alone is a great 
templating language, with limitless functionality.

It's up to the OP to take this thread and decide what he/she will do 
next.

I like Smarty because it solved many of the problems I was having trying
to tackle the problems manifest when using no templating strategy.

Actually, InterJinn has been on my radar screen for a while now, and 
thanks to your timely plug, I think I'll try it out and see how it 
compares. Incidentally, your posts on the Smarty list are what had me 
considering InterJinn in the first place.. how subversive of you! :)

I'm not married to Smarty, I just think that it's got a lot more to offer
than many PHP coders give it credit for after a mere cursory evaluation.  
Further, many of the people who shun templating systems aren't really
working with web applications as much as simple PHP scripts, where
templating solutions are much less necessary.

I think we're on the same side. Perhaps I just haven't yet seen the light.  
I'll give InterJinn a go. I hope it's all you say it is. One thing we can
both agree on is that templating is not inherently redundant with PHP.

+1 - Use of buzzword

You get the concept. Smarty, as you know, basically takes a Smarty
template and writes PHP code similar to what you've done above, then
writes out the .php file, and includes it when you render your template.
So you'd get nearly the same effect by writing the PHP as a separate file
and including it as your last step, and it acts as your display logic.
That may be acceptable to you, as a PHP programmer. If you're the only one
who ever needs to modify your templates then that's great, more power to
you. I'm sure that you would have no problem having many levels of nesting
all over the place and not screwing anything up. So be it. But that's you.

You must work with some real idiots. You can teach them to write 
{$variable} but you can't teach them to write  ?? Give

they??

However, there are practical limitations on what you can easily accomplish
with this approach, and Smarty addresses those issues. And you're worse

I'm sorry, but if Smarty takes your "template" and turns it into code 
like the example above, EXACTLY what "limitations" are you going to run 
into using the method above that Smarty solves?

You can still separate your logic from your presentation, template 
designers can still use quick, simple "tags" to include code, and the 
upside is that people familiar with PHP don't need to learn ANOTHER 
language (that's what Smarty is) -- they can dive straight in.

Fight it all you want, but PHP is a templating engine, too. That was 
it's original purpose. And again, what "power" of Smarty are we missing 
if Smarty just turns the template back into PHP code, anyhow?

The question is, do you want to give your templater designers full 
access to the power of PHP, or not.


In other words: are your template designers already good PHP programmers?
It's not just hype, it solves real problems, even if you don't have them.
You can either teach your designers the Smarty language or you can teach 
them PHP. Which one will set them up for success?

Now, all that being said, I am a fan of Smarty and use it in some 
applications. But, there's no reason you can't use straight PHP and 
achieve the same results by simply separating presentation logic from 
your code.

Smarty is a bit of a hack too... why do I need to declare my templates
within the PHP code? If I'm an HTML designer I'd like to create a new
page, include templates, use some data that's been made available and
have it all in the template. I sure as heck wouldn't want to have joe
programmer edit the main page, add support for importing my template.
This is the thing that bugs me about Smarty, its still got that hanging
dependency. And it's still got to include all those templates within the
source code.

InterJinn is superior in this respect. You use XML tags to import other
templates, you use XML tags to load modules and components, and you use
XML tags to do almost any kind of expansion you want. Of course, you can
go ahead and use something else, InterJinn provides the ability to plug
in custom compilers. InterJinn compiles to PHP code, includes are
INCLUDED at compile time not at run time. So given this scheme anyone
working on the HTML is already familiar with the syntax... hard to go
wrong with:



Hell you can even overload HTML tags. Not only that but Interjinn allows
recursive includes of templates and source files, and these includes can
be relative to the outer nested template or source file. Furthermore,
there's nothing forcing the use of the InterJinn application layer so
InterJinn can be used entirely for it's templating features, in which
case it provides a faster resulting PHP page than using PHP include().

Cheers,
Rob.

Doubt you're going to make it smaller, but you can make it more readable.

As I understand it, !empty is redundant (at least, it's always worked for
me, but I'm no expert).  Plus the use of AND should make it more
human-readable, like so:
if ($_SESSION['add']['type']
AND $_SESSION['add']['start_date']
AND $_SESSION['add']['end_date']
AND $_SESSION['add']['name']
AND $_SESSION['add']['county']
AND $_SESSION['add']['discription']
AND $_SESSION['add']['StartingDay']
AND $_SESSION['add']['StartingMonth']
AND $_SESSION['add']['StartingYear']
AND $_SESSION['add']['EndingDay']
AND $_SESSION['add']['EndingMonth']
AND $_SESSION['add']['EndingYear'])
{//run the insert query}
else
{//show error since one or more fields above are blank}

Personally, I'd clean it up a tiny bit more:
$add = $_SESSION['add'];
if ($add['type']
AND $add['start_date']
...
{//show error since one or more fields above are blank}
unset ($add);

Again, I'm no expert, but hopefully that'll help.

[PHP] simple mysql_result() question

[jdavis]

hello,
 I am trying to authenticate users. I run this MySQL query using
vars provided via a form

select password from dealers where username = '$user'

this works great if $user is actually a user in the database.
otherwise i get this error

Warning: mysql_result(): Unable to jump to row 0 on MySQL result index 3
in /var/www/php/AuthTool.php on line 52

its because of this

$thePass = mysql_result($result,'0','password');

is there a way to stop this error, should i be using mysql_fetch_array
instead? Code below.

Thanks,
jd



function auth(){
 $user = $_POST['user'];
 $pass = $_POST['pass'];
 $query = "select password from dealers where username = '$user'";
 $result = $this->sqlQuery($query);
 if(!$result){

[PHP] Combining SimpleXML objects

[Dan Phiffer]

Another quickie: is there an easy way to combine SimpleXML objects?

Something Like:

$a = simplexml_load_string('');
$c = simplexml_load_string('Foo');
$a->b = $c->d;
print_r($a);
Here's what I get:

Warning: It is not possible to assign complex types to nodes in 
D:\...\test.php on line 5
simplexml_element Object ( [b] => simplexml_element Object ( ) )

RE: [PHP] smarty

I can see your point and have used this technique in very small applications
where the benefit of Smarty or other template engines are negated by the

You can still separate your logic from your presentation, template designers
can still use quick, simple "tags" to include code, and the upside is that
people familiar with PHP don't need to learn ANOTHER language (that's what
Smarty is) -- they can dive straight in.

The question is, do you want to give your templater designers full access to
the power of PHP, or not.  In my case, I did.

You need to do mysql_fetch_array() or associated methods to actually get 
your data back.

To update, use the UPDATE SQL syntax. To insert, use INSERT.

If you want a recordset, there are various packages in PEAR which might 
satisfy your needs.

Depends on how it was installed, a common place is:

Or you can type:

$$ is only for use when you're doing a regular var. In other cases you 
just add a $.

For instance, when accessing a member var, you use:
$this->a;
To access a dynamic one you use:
$a = 'nameOfVar';
$this->$a;
For member fuctions:
$a = 'nameOfMemberFunction';
$this->$a();
For functions:
$a = 'nameOfFunction';
$a();

It was in the $_SESSION array, I assumed it was filled appropriately.
Also it isn't checkbox input (from what I can see) and other form fields
do provide an empty field when no content is input (if I'm not
mistaken).

[PHP] Dynamic method calling

[Darren Beale]

Hi

I'm trying to dynamically choose and call a method from within a class 
but actually calling a method dynamically does not seem to work whatever 
I try using php 4.3.3

Hopefully this test script will illustrate my point better, I always get 
to the "I know we get to here" bit, but there is no other output.

Is what I want to achieve possible?

regs

Darren



class foo
{
var $lookup;

function foo()
{
$this->lookup  = array();
}
function getItem($entry)
{
if (!array_key_exists($entry, $this->lookup))
{
print "I know we get to here\r\n";

// random attempts at calling the relevant 
 // method

$this->{"_foo_" . $entry . "()"};

$this->{"_foo_" . $entry};

$this->${"_foo_" . $entry . "()"};

$foo = "_foo_" . $entry . "()";
$this->$$foo;

$foo = "_foo_" . $entry;
$this->$$foo;
}
return $this->lookup[$entry];
}
function _foo_bar()
{   
print "bar\r\n";
$bar = 1;
$this->lookup["bar"] = $bar;
unset($bar);
}
function _foo_bar2()
{   
print "bar2\r\n";
$bar2 = 2;
$this->lookup["bar2"] = $bar2;
unset($bar2);
}
}
$foo = new foo();
print $foo->getItem("bar2");
?>

But if they didn't fill it in, it won't be in the array and therefore 
won't be checked. You need to specify those keys manually.

foreach(array('type', 'start_date', etc...) as $key) {
if(empty($_SESSION['add'][$key])) {
$errors[] = $key.' not filled out';
}

Sure it is! But you may want to check out HTML_QuickForm from PEAR. It 
already does so much and there's lots of supporting classes there like 
DB_Databject_FormBuilder and HTML_QuickForm_Controller.

[PHP] writing a class in php to print form elements

[Andy B]

hi...

is it totally usefull/reasonable to write a class in php that prints
different different form elements in html...

i.e. inputs, buttons, drop downs, multi selects and son? that way (at least
i think) then it would be easier to change the element attributes
dynamically...

Looks like you're suffering from mad dollar disease. You should have the
following instead:

class A
{
  var $a, $b;
  function A($a)
  {
$this->a = $a;
  }
  function prnt()
  {
echo "a=" . $this->a;
  }
}

class B extends A
{
  function B($a, $b)
  {
parent::A($a);
$this->b = $b;
  }
  function prnt()
  {
parent::prnt();
echo "b=" . $this->b;
  }
}

$obj = new B("a","b");
$obj->prnt();

There is no main() for PHP. The concept of main is implied at the

PHP OOP is fairly popular amongst those familiar with it's benefits and

both procedural style code and OOP code intermingled. This is fairly

Re: [PHP] PHP 5: SimpleXML attributes

Guess it was quite luck i saw the little note in the documentation:

can examine objects.

I think you mean that would output 'error_logfile_write'. However, 
what I'm asking is if it's possible to iterate over the SimpleXML 
node attributes 'name' and 'type', without knowing ahead of time that 
'name' and 'type' are expected associative keys. There is an

indexed array of the attribute values:

Array (
[0] => 'error_logfile_write',

Hello,

I have what I hope to be a simple question about SimpleXML. Is it 
possible to get the attributes of a SimpleXML node as an 
associative array?

Consider the following:

print_r($sxe->attributes());

?>
Is there some way to find out that 'value' is the attribute called 
'attr'? In other words, can I iterate over SimpleXML attributes

case where I should switch over to DOM?

a=
b=

It certainly looks like an associative array, but the array_keys() 
function chokes on it:

Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should 
be an array in D:\...\test.php on line 5

Explicitely casting it as an array doesn't work either. I guess I want 
something like example 4, but without having to hardcode in the 
$rating['type']. Something more like:

foreach ($xml->movie[0]->rating as $rating) {

switch ($rating['type']) {

Re: [PHP] PHP 5: SimpleXML attributes

[Red Wingate]

There is a way, but somehow i don't like it though ( but you
can find this in the documentation ):
This is config.xml:



  
FALSE

  
  

And my Testfile:

$xml = simplexml_load_file( 'config.xml' );

foreach ( $xml->lib_error->param AS $id => $param ) {
echo $param['name'] ; // will output 'boolean' !
}
 -- red

[...]
Hello,

I have what I hope to be a simple question about SimpleXML. Is it 
possible to get the attributes of a SimpleXML node as an associative array?

Consider the following:

');
print_r($sxe->attributes());
// Gives: simplexml_element Object ( [0] => value )
?>
Is there some way to find out that 'value' is the attribute called 
'attr'? In other words, can I iterate over SimpleXML attributes without 
losing track of what their attribute name is? Or is this a case where I 
should switch over to DOM?

ok sounds like fun and a way to keep code compacted but say inparticular
that i have an array that needs to be inserted in a certain way?? like
$_SESSION['add'][..] or something of that sort??the $_SESSION['add'] array
elements have to be inserted in a certain order...or is that just a matter
of creating the array in a certain order on the page before it??

Re: [PHP] update mysql from php web page

[Daniel Clark]

Something I like to do during troubleshooting is to have the page display
the SQL statement I'm processing.

Something like:  print sql_query ;

That was I can verify all the parameters are correct.


Do you have autocommit ON?   Or need to pass a commit statement?

I could have put a tag in the template like {bio} but that'd mean

i've never used smarty* but i think i understand how it works. so my
question is this...
would it not be better to place that logic in your php code instead of
your template?
what you suggest is handy for situations where you want to limit access 
to anything remotely programmy from users/designers who have no 
understanding/experience etc (or who use tools like FrontPage...yuck!)
(Maybe DreamWeaver is a better option, has better HTML output/processing 
and can be made to work nicely with Smarty templates.)

BUT...

It's probably important to understand that templating is really about 
the seperation of presentation & application/business logic in order to 
allow, for example, better task seperation (interface/graphic designers 
edit templates and programmers edit PHP files) and not about the 
seperation of code & content (or HTML & PHP or somesuch): it is true 
that most ('so called' -- not all are really template engines) allow you 
to also seperate the HTML & PHP.

bare this in mind: PHP is also a templating engine! image 1 file which 
does calculation, DB transactions and setting output variables and 
another file which outputs HTML according to logic that reacts to the 
values of the output variables.

to me performance is second to everything else (I prefer slow code thats 
well documented, loosely coupled* and easily extentable to super fast 
unreadable tightly coupled code) - first make it do what you need it to 
do! you can always optimize later and if the code is still not fast 
enough then code accelerators (like the ZendAccelerator or PHPa) and 
faster hardware probably offer the cheapest (and mostly quickly 
implemented) performance boost.

I think Smarty is a really good tool and very well supported & 
documented. I have run into limitations regarding PHP5 dereferenced 
object syntax and static object call syntax which led me to investigate 
the template parsing mechanism of Smarty - I found regular expressions 
which exceeded 1000 chars in length!! this I found to be a little 
worrying, none the less Smarty is still faster & I see very little 
slowdown even when forcing a recompile on every page hit as opposed to 
not using Smarty at all.

I hope that adds to you understanding a bit. If anything is unclear or I 
have stated something that is incorrect I'd love to hear about it -- 
always looking to learn more about stuff, especially PHP!

*coupling refers to the level of interdependency of various elements 
with you application. using Smarty _allows_ you to loosen the coupling 
between business & presentation logic (you can technically write all 
your business logic in Smarty templates but that is ill-advised) by 
creating a std API for transfering data from one layer to the next.

my thinking is this: if {bio} contains anything, it will print to the
page. if it doesn't contain anything, nothing will be printed. so
there's no need to check the value of $level within the template since
{bio} will simply contain something, or it will not.
i'm purely looking to understand this "smarty" thing a little better. :)

Of course, I didn't notice I left that line out of my code, although I did 
remember to put in the closing form tag. But, unfortumately, the update is 
not executed. The form button works, and it appears to do what it should, 
but the data is not changed. 
I changed the form method to get so I could see what is being passed and 
everything there is fine, but at the end of the url I see this-
url...stuff...&submit=Update+Data
Is this correct?

What else can I do to see what was passed to the database (if anything)?
