Alternatively, use a full path to lynx to avoid confusion. Could be that the apache process has no rights to run these commands. Try su as apache and see if you can run it.

Hello,
I have looked around for information on using multiple constructors

that it's not supported. Is this true. I wrote the code below to try
to emulate multiple constructors.. is this what everyone else does to
try to get the same functionality?

Hi Folks, Yes, that strange heading is exactly what it says I'm trying to get a procedure working that takes a feed from an XML page, and puts it into English... that should be common sense, but I can't seem to get anything from my server I've installed Apache on Win XP, with PHP, and tried installing PEAR, but that doesn't want to work, even using a file that I know works from another server; I've tried various ones from the web, but to no avail. Whenever I run scripts that try and get anything, either Pea or otherwise, it just comes up with a blank page, or anything that is not HTML. I know PHP is working because I've got other scripts running, and even added silly things like an echo(Date()); on every other line ... but still nothing from the XML side of things. Have I missed something silly (:probably:) Someone help! Please Nunners -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

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...
For a designer or non-coder, Smarty will be easier to learn than
PHP.
You must work with some real idiots.
Sigh... you must work with some really lousy designers!
You can teach them to write {$variable} but you can't teach them to
write ?=$variable? ?? Give your people some credit. If they can
learn {section name=foo loop=2 show=TRUE}{/section}, then
they can
learn for($x=0;$x2;$x++){ }, can't they??
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.
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?
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 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?
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.
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?
Again, very much not the point.
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.
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.
I don't think this thread is tired. As someone who is about to dive into
learning templating more than what I do now and with greater flexability
and success, I've enjoyed the banter between everyone about the merits
of Smarty and other templating engines.
I'll be frank with this next comment and say to you, Kelly, that it was
fine and dandy for you to be antagonistic and demeaning with your tone
towards Justin French when he commented that PHP, itself, IS a
templating engine, but when John turned the tables in regards to those
remarks made you get very defensive and ornery as illustrated in this

RE: [PHP] Exceptions and builtin functions in PHP5
Builtin functions in php5 will not throw exceptions. The basic idea is that exceptions are part of the OOP portion of PHP. What you will need to do is to wrap these functions into classes. Fortunately, many existing class libraries such as PEAR can be tweaked to throw exceptions with little or no effort.

I was hardly trying to disrespect the point that Justin was making, in fact I had no disagreement with the approach, other than that it sold the concept of templating short by claiming that there is no difference. If there was no difference, Smarty would not exist. I think it is valid and important to understand that Smarty buys you nothing you can't get with PHP. However, claiming that it's exactly the same to use straight PHP, says to me that Smarty is either not being leveraged or it's true possibilities are not being realized. There is a difference between a conscious choice by someone who is an experienced PHP developer not to use Smarty, and someone who merely doesn't see the leverage or purpose of the tool. Pedantic debates like this surface regularly on topics such as OOP in PHP, to the detriment of those looking for answers to problems they legitimately want to solve. The reason this is frustrating is not because people should not have opinions or that there is nothing to be gained by expressing them. It's much different to say, for instance, I don't use Smarty because for my purposes it's the same difference to just use a straight PHP approach and to say PHP already does exactly this, and thus Smarty is pointless. And thank you for your guidance in regards to my conduct. Apparently you also read the same things INTO my message to Justin, and thus it was okay for a third person to take it to a personal level that was out of line and when I merely respond to that unprovoked attack, you give me the lecture.

RE: [PHP] page design and possible conflict??
Rather than doing something soley to comply with a standard you must sell your client on the idea or not do it, they are the ones that ultimately must live with the decision and be happy with it. As a programmer it is your job to make sure they have all the information and the pro's and cons of each solution, after that point let your client hash it out, providing additional information as needed. If you really like the way it looks provide a mockup of the front page with the changes you are suggesting and one without the changes and explain the benefits of your changes. At the end of the day after all information has been considered and a decision has been made you are there to do what the client wants you to do, not what you think or believe is best. Who do you report to, the main site guy or the site owner? If you report to the site owner your responsibility is to him, likewise if you report to the person doing the site it is to him. A lot of times the maintenance person feels like they should have got the programming job and are very resesntful and hard to work with, if possible you should try to build a good working relationship with him and stroke his ego a bit as the owner probably selected him for some reason and he might have a say about future jobs and at the least know other people in the business and positive advertising is always good.

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.
{$variable} is no more closer to HTML than ?=$variable?. Either way you
still have to teach them the templating engine langauge. That language can
either be Smarty or a specific subset of PHP functions/methods that serves
as your templating engine (like how Justin had to write the cycle()
function). If you can teach them how a {section} works, then you can teach
them how a foreach() works or write a section() function that works just the
same.
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.
Mixing PHP and HTML is not this big, bad, evil thing that should be avoided
at all cost like many people make it out to be. The key is to separate the
presentation / presentation logic and the business logic / backend code,
or whatever you want to call them. The presentation logic can either be
Smarty or PHP.
The problem is that if you use PHP, you must be very aware of what's going
on and ensuring you're keeping the two layers separate. It takes some
dedication. Smarty, however, FORCES you to keep the two layers separate and
I think that's why it's liked by many people. I personally think that Smarty
let you put _too much_ logic into the presentation layer, but everyone's
needs are different.
Smarty has two benefits to using a PHP templating solution (imo)
1. Smarty forces you to keep the presentation layer separate from your
code/business layer.
2. Caching

This is the issue I have with things like Smarty. No matter if I use
PHP or Smarty, I have to 'teach' my designer how to 'code' in some
aspect...and I've met quite a few designers who can't grasp JavaScript,
much less Smarty or PHP. Personally, I have the designers give me a
HTML layout of the page to where I can cut up the HTML, and throw it

Assuming IIS, turn off anonymous access, which will force them to log in as a user that has permission to reach the file they reqested. I believe you can then use $_SERVER['LOGON_USER'] or something similar to find out their username. (This also assumes an NTFS file system, but that should already be in place). It's the same as restricting access to any other file on Windows using the security settings. You remove the Everyone user and give access to either specific users or groups.

[PHP] Compare Case Insensitive?
How can I compare a variable submitted by a form as case
insensitive? A promotional code will be entered into a form
and it's important that they can enter the code either way.
So if I have
if ($code == 'ABC123') {
I want that to match 'aBC123' 'abc123' or whatever. Thanks.

let's see:
eregi()
preg_match()
strtolower()
... either one could help you
probably fastest is convert the user string to lower case and compare
... or upper case .. your choice.

[PHP] Serializing objects and storing them is sessions
I'm having a problem unserializing objects that are passed from page to page with sessions. Registered globals is disabled so I am using the $_SESSION array to store session variable and am not using session_register(). Here's what I'm doing. On first page: $auth = new Class(); session_start(); $_SESSION['auth'] = serialize($auth); Second page: session_start(); var_dump($_SESSION); $auth = unserialize($_SESSION['auth']); var_dump($auth); When I var_dump() $_SESSION it appears to be a string representation of the object. However, when I try to unserialize() it and store it in $auth the value is bool(false) and not an object. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Sorry, by validity of the data I meant validity of location. I'm not sure though that you can validate location using your technique since the first script retrieves all of the POSTed data and then forwards it along to the second processing script. How does the second script gain new information over the first? Doesn't it receive the same data? Agreed the second server always knows the IP of the sender since the sender is the first script which is on the same box, but I'm not sure how this provides a benefit over just processing the data in the first script, since the IP of the original sender is still at issue.

Re: [PHP] Regular Expression for a UK mobile phone number

I am trying to create a regular expression for a mobile phone number. The

So far I have come up with this but it keeps telling me the number is
invalid even when its correct!
Try this:
$regexp = /447[0-9]{9}/;
if($_POST[mobile_number] != ''){
if(!preg_match( $regexp, $_POST[mobile_number] )){
$error = Invalid Mobile Number;
header(Location:edit_rep.php?error=$errorrep_id=.$_GET[rep_id].client_i
d=.$_GET[client_id].rep_name=.$_GET[rep_name].client_name=.$_GET[clie

exit;
}
}
Also, your regexp is a little permissive; you can anchor it like so:
$regexp = /^447[0-9]{9}$/;

$size = filesize('../../store/files/'.$file_row['filename']);
header('Content-Length: '.$size);
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64');
readfile('../../store/files/'.$file_row['filename']);
But once in a blue moon, someone complains that they didn't get their
file and they always seem to be using some download accelerator

to make the above code more robust? Note that it's been working great
for a long time.

[PHP] Smarty Summary was Re: [PHP] smarty
I have been following this thread closely and thought I'd summarize a few points: 1. 'Template Engine' - you can justifyably call PHP a template engine, but I think calling Smarty a template engine confuses the issue - it would be clearer call it something like 'Presentation Component' which encapsulates output caching, output string transformation, markup generation, presentation logic security seperation of (code possibly human) tasks. viewing it as a component means viewing it as a tool, tools are used when appropriate and according to their capabilities and the scope of the job at hand. in principle a sizeable proportion of all the. 2. 'The Template Language' - basic PHP and Smarty 'languages' are roughly on par in terms of complexity (MMV - were all unique!), personally I feel that Smarty markup looks tidier alongside (X|(X)?HT)ML. 3. 'Lock In' - the lock-in argument is academic. in reality projects you build using Smarty will be decommissioned or rewritten (at which point you can choose to use something else) long before lock-in becomes an issue. Besides being locked-in to Free Open code doesn't sound too bad - if you don't use somebody elses 'template engine' then you will probably end up writing something similar to perform the related tasks - using somebody elses frees you from dev, maintainance, doc-writing etc 4. 'Limited Interface' - 5. 'Limitations' - when you find Smarty limits you, but you are otherwise convinced its a good tool for the job, subclass it and make it do things your way (or write BadAss(tm) plugins - for which you can achieve fame and glory if you make them available on the Smarty Wiki ;-). any real limitations of Smarty are not of a level which would trouble novice users of PHP, they are simply not yet at the level where they are stretching the capabilities of PHP or components they use. Smarty is limited in 2 ways: 1. because PHPs syntax is very broad and flexible (the fact that it is typeless is probably no help in this respect), this makes it extremely difficult to support it all with in the Smarty constructs -it not only has to work, but it has to work As Expected(tm). 2. on purpose in order to allow the develop to determine what interface (functional markup*) designers. Limiting the interface (and by definition defining an interface) is a Good Thing(tm) thats why PHP5 supports interfaces for classes - consider them, like steel-toe-capped boots in the fight against spaghetti code. Limitations are often purely percieved rather than actual, possibly stemming from the fact that somebody else decided on how (i.e. not _what_) to do something, small price to pay if for a free, well supported component really. And when you look at it you might see that this is a bit like developing in a team, sometimes somebody (has to) make(s) a decision and your stuck with it regardless of whether you think it is correct. 6. 'Designers Templates' - I use really heavy smarty markup (70% or more is not HTML) for the presentation logic... why because my templates are very generic - they expect php objects of a certain types and the create markup based on the structures within. I don't want any non-programmer anywhere near my templates - styling belongs in CSS, that is what designers should using to change the look and feel of the site - from a deisgners point of view CSS type markup is the future is layout - it almost completely removes the styling from the structural markup (Murphy's Law dictates that some of the designers wishes will mean having to tweak the functional markup templates - but that does not happen constantly.). Are your designers often styling/layout online articles are the like? maybe it time to try a webbased (X)HTML editor - for a couple of $, or even for free, you have an editor to create content with which you can store in files or a DB, even change history if you want and then extract this content and display it in one of your structural templates. 7. 'Why the fuck do we do this?' - for the kick of writing cool code for one, but there are always many tasks in writing an application which are mundane (to say the least) - for me Smarty takes care of a few of these and that makes coding more fun. 8. 'Why use Smarty?' - what a non-question or rather you have to answer it yourself. first determine what it is you need to do now (and possibily in the future) then go and look what best fits the need (read the code and the documentation, make an effort to actually run examples) - if nothing fits write something. if your going judge Smarty do it based on the quality of the code, level of support and the usuability/flexibility of its API. 9. 'php.net' - it possibly says something of Smarty that it is hosted under the PHP banner. Smarty is certainly not the only way, probably not the best way and possibly not the most flexible way. But it provides a free, stable, widely used well supported framework
