 Unfortunately, I now have a bunch of scripts that require PHP 5.  I'd
 upgraded my beta server for testing and everything has been going so great
 that I went gungho.  Honestly, I tried to not too many of the new features,
 just so I could ease into it and do more testing.  I'm finding little
 differences that I didn't even realize I was taking advantage of.  For
 example, there are a lot of places in the code where I've done something
 like this:

 print Learn more about {$product-get_Title()}.br;

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php

$pattern = /\{\$(.+?)\}/i;
$replacement = \\.\$$1\.\;

Try this out ;-) I haven't tested it but it's the right direction ;-)


 I uploaded scripts like this to the production server for more testing and
 PHP4 flagged all of the code like this as parse errors.  I'm not sure, but
 now I'm stuck having to go through all of the code to change the coding
 style  my editor (Dreamweaver MX 2004) allows me to do a global search
 and replace using regular expressions.  I have no idea what regular
 expression I'd use for something like this.  Any recommendations?

 Thanks,

 Ed

[PHP] Re: simple date/now() question

[Harlequin]

I gave up with the timestamp feature because although it's accurate it's not 
English and needs to be reworked to make it presentable.

Despite finding code to do this I still moved on to using a date\time stamp 
using the US format of-course and this echoes much easier and will of-course 
be easier to perform calculations on.


Hope that helps some...

 Hi,
 I have a field in the db called

 join_date_time(timestamp 14)

 which has data like:

 20040928170708
 20040916163619
 etc

 This keeps track of the customer join date, I need to
 know if the client has joined in the last 24hrs or
 more than 24hrs back...

 Anybody have a function for this? or can help? am a
 bit confused because reading on google I see that
 there are 2 possible problems as MySql has its own
 time and PHP its own time (most of the time!)

 Thanks,
 Mag

[PHP] Searching My Database

[Harlequin]

Morning everyone.

I've read around the subject of searching and although using the FULLTEXT 
capability of MySQL might be the proper way of doing this I feel it's 
somewhat limited and have decided to use a simple select procedure.

I'm sure there's a better way of doing this, as I'm quite new to MySQL and 
even newer to searches, However - here's my conundrum:

I'm declaring variables at the top of my query like so:

  Code:
  $WorkPermit  == ' . $_POST[WorkPermit] .  ';



And then execute the query like so:

  Code:
  SELECT * FROM MembersData
  WHERE `Work_Permit_Rqd`
  LIKE '$WorkPermit'



But I have many other fields that the searcher can use. What do I do if they 
leave this field blank...?

I appreciate that I should be using the MATCH function but I'm not entirely 
happy with the way it searches.

What I need to do is actually omit a field (s) from the search if the value 
the searcher submitted was NULL.

For example:

Search field X and Y and Z
and if x or Y are null
continue...

Am I explaining this OK...?

Any suggestions gratefully received.

[PHP] PHP variables via SSL on IE5.x

[Merlin]

Hi there,
I am having trouble with posting a form to a php script through SSL on IE prior 
5.5 sp1. It works like a charm on all other browsers. In IE it works without 
SSL, but when SSL is enabled, the browser pops up with a message that he is 
switching to an unsecure site and then all then displays a 404 error with the 
correct php file url inside the Adressbar. I guess the browser is somehow 
loosing all variables submited via post.

Has anybody an idea how to solve that? I cant unfortunatelly provide a link, 
since I had to disable SSL on the productio server due to that error.

Thank you for any help on that,
Merlin

[PHP] PHP Data cache ideas/solutions

[Niklas Ojala]

Hello

I am kind of new to this news thing, but here goes.

I am looking for a class or some samples that would read a table from mysql
and store it in an array variable, so that it will be avilable to other
parts of the page without having to get it from the database again. So I
would like to only get the table once per page load but I must be able to
filter the table to get the data that I want.

I am looking for some similar code to get me started or other ideas on how
to make less queries to the database.

RE: [PHP] Re: grabbing information from websites

[Graham Cossey]

OK, I've tried it out. What is interesting is that the URL you have posted
results in the site's 'home' page, for me anyway, which obviously results in
no matches for the preg_match. It appears to redirect to
http://www.runescape.com/ somehow.

I am using the code:

?php
$content =
file_get_contents(http://hiscore.runescape.com/aff/runescape/hiscorepersona
l.cgi?username=champinoman);
if
(preg_match('#username=champinomancategory=13.*align=right(.*)/td#mi',
$content,$out))
{
echo $out;
}else{
echo $content;  // - results in home page
}
?

 Is there an end of line between the username=chapinoman and the td

 If there is a line break then $line will never contain both strings.

 You may need to use fread() instead.

 instead of the POSIX regexp, tr using PERL style RegExps

Re: [PHP] GNU/Linux MacOsX Server different behaviour

[Francesco Casalena]

Hi Brent, hi list,



If you just run your command in the shell, you'll see that you 

get an operation not permitted error. Using the -r switch you

can provide the seconds since Epoch to just display a 'date'

you specify.

For instance:

date -r 97840 +%a

Returns 'Mon'



Ok, that's right!

But I also notice this strange behaviour on Mac:



date -r 049290 +%a   returns 'Wed'...ok

date -r 049280 +%a   returns 'Tue'...ok

date -r 049270 +%a   returns 'Mon'...ok

date -r 049260 +%a   returns 'Sat'...ok

date -r 049250 +%a   returns 'Sun'...ok

date -r 049240 +%a   returns 'Fri'...no!



I try for a test:



date -r 049241 +%a   returns 'Sat'...ok



(1 are hhmms from the Epoch, is it true?)

but:



date -r 049231 +%a   returns 'Fri'...ok

date -r 049221 +%a   returns 'Wed'...no!



The behaviour is the same via Bash and via PHP script

that invokes the shell...is it a my error or a X server

bug?



Regards, thanks!

Ciao

Francesco

Don't use posix regexp, but use perl compatible instead. It has
preg_quote() function that is intended for this purpose.

Retrievals are usually fast so you might find that you are saving only a 
few milliseconds by doing this.
Did you know that most mysql has a 'query cache'  where instead of re 
running the same query over and over it stores a little bit in memory?

The best example of caching data from a DB into files I have seen is in 
the mediawiki project.

I am looking for some similar code to get me started or other ideas on how

[PHP] splitting string into array

[blackwater dev]

How can I take a string and create an array?

Example,
A12B05C45D34

I need to split this into chunks of three A12,B05,C45..etc?

Thanks!

[Gryffyn, Trevor]

Can you connect to the same address from the same machine with a web
browser?  That should help troubleshoot this.  If you can and you're
still getting the error, maybe post a section of your code and maybe we
can get a better idea if why it's failing.

Once again, might this not be better on the MySQL list? They may explain
a way to eliminate the limitations you perceive, but I digress...

Depending upon how your users will be entering the search term you could
build the query dynamically using PHP. We most often do something like
this where we have to retrieve a list of values from one table and then
run that dynamic list against other tables.

What are some reasons we'd get this? Would a firewall or local system tcp/ip

The primary reason that you would get this error is because you were
unable to connect to the host using sockets. 

The causes may be varied, firewalls, non-existent host, incorrect port,
authentication, the cable is not plugged in, power is off, etc.

In PHP4
$array = str_split(A12B05C45D34, 3);

use str_split()
if you dont have php5, you can use the following code:
|
?php
if (!function_exists('str_split')) {
   function str_split ($str, $size = 1) {
   $arr = array();
   for ($i = 0 ; $i  strlen($str) ; $i += $size) {
   $arr[] = substr($str,$i,$size);
   }
   return $arr;
   }
}
$array = str_split('A12B05C45D34',3)
print_r($array);
?

Try something like this:
$string = 'A12B05C45D34';
$string = chunk_split($string, 3, ':');
//Should give you 'A12:B05:C45:D34';
$array = explode(:,$string);

Re: [PHP] PHP Data cache ideas/solutions

[Matthew Fonda]

You could do something like:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM whatever, $link);
while ($topic = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$all[] = $topic;
}

The array $all will contain all of the things fetched.

Permission denied could also probably indicate (in addition to what's
already been mentioned) that there's authentication needed.  If you
connect with a web browser, do you get a login prompt window pop up?
Not an HTML one, but one of the the basic HTML Auth type stuff?

Try pointing  your script to a site that you know doesn't have anything

not sure if your string will always be the same patter but this might work

$string = 'A12B05C45D34';

$array = preg_split ( '/([a-zA-Z]\d{2})/', $string,
-1,PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE );

 Hi guys,
 
   OK I need some ideas.
 
   Somebody created the stupidest XML file I've ever seen. And of
course 
 they can't change it, and I *must* be able to read it. I'm all out of 
 brain power on thinking how to go about reading it. I typically use 
 simplexml to read xml and that's where my knowledge end.
 
 Heres the problem:
 
 Catalog
  Rate
   RateCode1/RateCode
   RateCurrencyUSDRateCurrency
   RateValue123/RateValue
  /Rate
  RateDescription
   DescThis is dumn/Desc
  /RateDescription

I've seen worse :)


You'll have to set up a class that can keep track of the state of your xml
file:

class StupidCatalog {
  var $code = 0;
  var $current = 'USD';
  var $value = '';
  var $description = array();
}

class StupidCatalogParser {
  var $catalog;  // Collection of rates
  var $current_catalog;  // building this one
  var $state;// tag we're working on

  function startElement($parser, $name, $attr) {

   $this-state = $name;
   switch($name) {
 case 'Rate':
   // start working on a new 
   $this-current_catalog = new StupidCatalog();
   break;

//...
   }

  }

  function endElement($parser, $name) {
if($name == 'Rate') {
  // reference is important.
  $this-catalog[] = $this-current_catalog;
}
  }

  function elementData($parser, $data) {
switch ($this-state) {
  case 'RateDescription':
// tricky...
$this-current_catalog-{$this-state}[] = $data;
break;

  case 'RateCode':  // passthrough
  case 'RateValue': // and the rest...
// more tricky...
$this-current_cataglog-{$this-state} = $data;
break;
  }
}

Just create a new StupidCatalogParser() and assign the methods to the
appropriate call backs in http://php.net/xml

btw, the above is untested and only theory :)

[PHP] Input to PHP from Java

[Rajesh Batchu]

Hi,
 
I have a page with SSL enables as below.
 
https://email.website.com/usrfolder/one.php
 
For this page, my customer is posting some XML data using a java output stream as 
below. ( pseudo code)
  URL url = new URL(_url);
_httpsConnection= (HttpsURLConnection) url.openConnection();

 _httpsConnection.setDoInput(true);
 _httpsConnection.setDoOutput(true);
 _httpsConnection.setUseCaches(false);
 _httpsConnection.setRequestProperty(Connection, Keep-Alive);
// send transaction
 _outputStream = new DataOutputStream(new 
BufferedOutputStream(_httpsConnection.getOutputStream()));
 _outputStream.write(xmlString.getBytes());
 _outputStream.flush();
 _outputStream.close();

// receive response
  _inputStream = new DataInputStream(new 
BufferedInputStream(_httpsConnection.getInputStream()));
  BufferedReader in= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(_inputStream));
  String inputLine ;
  while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null){
rcvMsg = rcvMsg + inputLine;
  }
in.close();


 Now the issue for me is , i need to capture the data that is posted by the java code 
above in my php page.  I am not getting the value in any of the standard variables.
 
Can some one suggest me how i should read the data..
 
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rajesh B.

RE: [PHP] Searching My Database

Subject: [PHP] Searching My Database


Morning everyone.

I've read around the subject of searching and although using the FULLTEXT 
capability of MySQL might be the proper way of doing this I feel it's 
somewhat limited and have decided to use a simple select procedure.

I'm sure there's a better way of doing this, as I'm quite new to MySQL and 
even newer to searches, However - here's my conundrum:

I'm declaring variables at the top of my query like so:

  Code:
  $WorkPermit  == ' . $_POST[WorkPermit] .  ';



And then execute the query like so:

  Code:
  SELECT * FROM MembersData
  WHERE `Work_Permit_Rqd`
  LIKE '$WorkPermit'



But I have many other fields that the searcher can use. What do I do if they 
leave this field blank...?

I appreciate that I should be using the MATCH function but I'm not entirely 
happy with the way it searches.

What I need to do is actually omit a field (s) from the search if the value 
the searcher submitted was NULL.

For example:

Search field X and Y and Z
and if x or Y are null
continue...

Am I explaining this OK...?

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Find out whether your version of php supports $_FILES, if so use it. If not 
use $HTTP_POST_FILES.

Do:

print_r($_FILES); // or $HTTP_POST_FILES

at the *beginning* of the page that processes the uploaded files.

and if you're still getting:

  Doesn't print out anything.

Then go back to basics and try out the example in the above chapter. If you 
can't get the example to work then re-read that chapter again (paying 
particular attention to Error Messages Explained and Common Pitfalls).

If you still can't get it to work then read the user notes in the online

If you still can't get it to work then search the archives.

 Now the issue for me is , i need to capture the data that is posted by the java code above in my php page.  I am not getting the value in any of the standard variables.
 
Can some one suggest me how i should read the data..
 
Thanks in advance,

php://input allows you to read raw POST data. It is a less memory 
intensive alternative to $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA and does not need any 
special php.ini directives.

OT: if you close the outputstream from URLConnection you will not be 
able to read the inputstream either.

Now the issue for me is , i need to capture the data that is posted by the java code above in my php page.  I am not getting the value in any of the standard variables.
 

If your java code is sending a standard http request it will show up 
either in the $_REQUEST variable. You might want to write to the log 
file using error_log() so that you can get debuging information that way 
in case the response is not picked up by the java app.

  $where = '';
  foreach ($_POST['search'] as $field = $value)   {
if ('' == $value) {

RE: [PHP] Searching My Database

[Jeff McKeon]

It sounds like what you need to do is create several different queries
based upon what the user selects from a form..

For instance...

Form fields:

A,B,C,D

(Drop downs are best for these field entries because you can control
them, if not it's just a little tougher.)

IF(isset($_POST['A']))
{
$whereA =  Blah = .$_POST['A'];
}
IF(isset($_POST['B']))
{
$whereB =  Bloh = .$_POST['B'];
}
IF(isset($_POST['C']))
{
$whereC =  Blih = .$_POST['C'];
}
IF(isset($_POST['D']))
{
$whereD =  Bluh = .$_POST['D'];
}

$query = select * from table where something = somthingelse $whereA
$whereB $whereC $whereD;

This is the general idea.  If there is no $_POST['B'] then $whereB will
be nothing and not interfer.  You can expand the if statements above to
include settings for grouping etc..

Someone out there prob has a better way but that's generally how I do
it.

Just a note, with mysql you can use a $_POST[] type variable directly in
a query if you surround it with {}

So...

$query = Select * from table where field1 = '{$_POST['blah']}';

Re: [PHP] PHP Data cache ideas/solutions

[Niklas]

Thank you for your ideas, this is an example of what I came up with. When
the application is complete I will turn on the query cache in mysql to have
even better performance.

function filter($var)
{
if ($var[active])
{
return true;
}
}

$link = mysql_pconnect(localhost, foo, bar);
mysql_select_db(stuff, $link);
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM table, $link) or die(Error);
$data = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
$data[] = $row;

$filtered_data = array_filter($data,filter);

[PHP] POST data corrupted

[Ilja Polivanovas]

Hello guys,
I don't know if this question is PHP related or not, but, maybe someone  
remember, have the PHP script be processed if POST request is broken in  
the middle?

For example: User POSTs 60 KB of text, and then his browser or internet  
connection crashes, when only 30 of 60 KB was sent to server. Server  
recieves 30 KB, and think that it is complete POST, then updates some data  
in Database, and the text is corrupted at the result of this action.

I was surprised that such thing happens. Is this real feature ? or some  
kind of bug in http/apache/php chain? ://

You may want to look at the this generic data cache class that can cache 
any type of data in disk files. If you want to cache variables, just use 
it in conjunctions with serialize and unserialize functions.

The class employs safe locking to prevent that more than one access 
tries to update the cache file when the cache is generated for the first 
time or it has expired and leave it corrupted. This is very important, 
especially for busy sites.

You may just need to tune qmail to maximize the number of

How do I tune qmail in that manner ? If the answer is too long and

Usually, increasing the concurrencyremote control option is what makes 
most of the difference. The default is 20 simultaneous deliveries. You 
can increase to 120 without patching qmail. If you realize that such 
change exhausts your memory, you may have to use a smaller value.

Using a DNS query caching daemon also helps if your DNS is a little slow 
to react.


For this reason, during deliveries of messages to many recipients,
it is better to pause once in a while to let the queue be fully
processed and do not stall other programs.

Do you mean, say we fetched 100,000 addresses from database, we make
our script sleep for a while after sending, say 1000 mails ?
Right, you need to test with qmail-qstat how long it needs to rest to 
give qmail time to process all queued messages during a period. This is 
may also be important if your available disk space is limited.

[PHP] safe mode?

[blackwater dev]

Hello all...

I finally have an upload script partly working but am not running into
this problem.

I have this code which executes when the user visits the image upload page:

snip
 if (!file_exists(../images/property_$id)){
 mkdir(../images/property_$id, 0700);}

 $upload_dir = ../images/property_$id;
/snip

When the user executes the script, it returns and runs this code:

snip
if($_FILES['file']['name'][$i])
  {
  $file_to_upload = $upload_dir./.$_FILES['file']['name'][$i];
  $thisName=$_FILES['file']['name'][$i];
  move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$i],$file_to_upload); }
/snip

And I get these errors::

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The
script whose uid is 1044 is not allowed to access
/images/property_128873 owned by uid 1002 in /imageupload.inc.php on
line 39

then a bunch of other related errors.  I have tried to using 0777

file as it is on my hosts server.

Re: [PHP] Best way to allow a user to indicate formatting to be displayed but stored.

[Matthew Fonda]

Typically people use BBCode to do this.
This mean the user will enter something like
[b]this is bold[/b] or [i]italic[/u] and the BBCode will be parsed and
transformed into HTML when the page is displayed. There are many parsers
already written to do this, or you could make your own, or use PEAR:

[PHP] Zend PHP Certification test

[Greg Donald]

I was wondering if anyone on the list has taken the Zend PHP Certification test?

I bought the Zend study guide and have read it cover to cover, then I
went back and re-read a bunch of it again in areas where I felt weak. 
I've been studying heavily the past two weeks and I have the test
tomorrow morning.  So I'm wondering what anyone who has taken the test
might recommend studying the most during my last 24 hours prior?

Most of the security stuff I've known and practiced for a long time
now, so I'm pretty comfortable there.  But there seems to be a lot of
gotchas working with the string and regular expression functions.. I
don't know, maybe that's just my perception.  I'm definatly not a
regular expression master, even with years of working with Perl, so
I've been hitting that part pretty hard.  The open ended 'name that
function' questions worry me, as I've always relied on the fine PHP
manual for quick lookups when I can't recall something.

What areas did any of you find particularly challenging? 

TIA for your input..

[PHP] How do I make an 'email this page' feature?

[PHP Tech]

Hi.

I am on a tight deadline here- I am trying to get a feature on a website I
am creating where you click a link on a page which says 'email this page'
and it takes you to a new page with a form asking you to enter your name,
email and an email address and name of a person you would like to email the
link of the page together with a message.

In theory this is easy to do- but what would be the best and secure way of
doing it?

I thought by clicking the link this would be a form sending the url of the
page to the next page and so I could then use $_GET to retrieve this.  I
also thought of using $_SERVER and getting the referer web address. Then I
could use this in a hidden field and use the mail() function to mail it off.

Aren't both these options open to abuse?  I was impressed with a feature I
saw on this website- http://www.chesternovello.com/composer/606/main.html  -
at the bottom of the page when you click on Email this page it takes you to
another page without using a form, and it seems to use just html.  How do
they do that?  I would really like to use a nice PHP script to do this.

Any ideas? Would be grateful for any thoughts.

Zend Certification exam.]

--- Greg Donald [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I bought the Zend study guide and have read it cover to cover

That's a good approach. I don't think the guide is a good substitute for
experience, but it's as broad as the exam itself, so you get a good idea
about what topics are covered, and the discussion on those topics is there
in case you feel like you need a refresher. In a few cases, the author of
a particular chapter in the guide also wrote the exam questions on that
topic.

 I went back and re-read a bunch of it again in areas where I
 felt weak. I've been studying heavily the past two weeks and I
 have the test tomorrow morning. So I'm wondering what anyone
 who has taken the test might recommend studying the most during
 my last 24 hours prior?

Zend has a few questions available here:

http://zend.com/store/education/certification/self-test.php

They're obviously not on the exam, but they give you an idea about how the
questions might be worded and such. The first question is:

What is the value of $a?

?php
$a = 123 == 0123;
?

I think this question is a little tricky, so I don't like it. It requires
you to realize that 0123 is going to be interpreted as an octal value due
to the leading zero. While we tried to avoid trick questions, a few of
them
are just a bit tricky. Don't let that leading zero thing mess you up. :-)

Another one on Zend's site is what I consider a very good question:

What is the value of $result in the following PHP code?

?php
function timesTwo($int) {
$int = $int * 2;
}

$int = 2;
$result = timesTwo($int);
?

This question requires that you realize how functions and return values
work. This would be difficult for someone who wasn't an experienced PHP
developer, but for anyone who has much experience with PHP, it's easy.

Another question I like is this:

What will be the output of the following PHP code:

?php
echo count(strlen(http://php.net;));
?

Now, I would expect someone like John Holmes (or any of the other major
contributors to this list) to note that you may as well use single quotes
there, because no interpretation of the string is necessary. :-) But,
that's not the point of the question.

Answering this requires that you can deduce what strlen() and count() do,
or that you happen to remember - whatever works. :-) This is also the type
of question that I think inexperienced developers will have trouble
answering correctly, while experienced developers are unlikely to miss.

Because strlen() returns the length of the string (one thing), the count
of that return is going to be 1.

 I'm definatly not a regular expression master

I bet you can miss every regular expression question and still pass the
exam. Don't worry too much about a single topic, unless you're confident
in every other area. Keep in mind that the exam is as broad as PHP itself,
and there are only 70 questions. So, no single topic is going to be very
important overall - you want to be fairly proficient in all areas.

 The open ended 'name that function' questions worry me, as I've
 always relied on the fine PHP manual for quick lookups when I
 can't recall something.

We kept this in mind when writing the questions. In general, when a quick
reference to http://www.php.net/foo would tell you an answer, the question
was thrown out. This includes the order of the arguments for most things,
especially since PHP has a reputation for being inconsistent in this
regard. :-)

However, you should know the names of the common functions. I know that's
vague, but I seriously doubt anyone who has been developing in PHP would
not know what functions trims whitespace (trim), what function returns the
length of a string (strlen), or what function can be used to set an HTTP
header (header). On the other hand, it would be ridiculous to expect
people to know what functions like cpdf_set_current_page(), crack_check(),
or pfpro_init() do. You might be familiar with these functions, but I
don't think anyone would consider them mainstream.

Hope that helps, and good luck on the exam.

Hi Greg,
I sat the test last Wednesday after going through the guide cover to 
cover.  Whilst there were a number of questions which were definitely 
experience-based, I found the questions were generally somewhat easier 
than the chapter questions and practice exam questions in the guide.  
If you're happy with those you should have no trouble in the exam.

All the best for tomorrow morning!

I got 4/5 on the practice test, which makes me feel a _little_ better.

I would try to limit the list of items I'm sending via email.  For
example, have a set list of keywords that you generate the emails
based on, such as a product id, or a category name.  Then you generate
the email based on that id, rather than doing, say, an fopen
(http://yoursite.com/page.php;) with the referring page.  The latter
option would be insecure, especially if you don't sanity check the
referrer first.  If you're dealing with a static site, and have to
grab actual HTML files, passing the the page name as a variable and
then doing a local fopen would be a better option.  Checking for
problems before using the form data is the key to keeping this secure.

I imagine having pre-built templates for whatever I'm sending via
email, as I likely wouldn't want the exact same page that's displayed
on my website to be sent via email.  I'd love to hear more specifics
on what you're trying to accomplish.

As for chesternovello.com, there is an awful lot of Javascript magic
happening.  Not to mention that suspicious looking __VIEWSTATE
variable in the form.  There's definitely something happening behind
the scenes there, it's more than just HTML.

Re: [PHP] Zend PHP Certification test

I purchase the guide before month and because I am outside US it will
be inn my country after another month ( I actually bought it pdf
version from phparch but because of the issue between Sams they cancel
pdf version and sent the print on thier own charge for the shipment) 
, when I see Zend offer I take it directly but ofcourse I now must
read from manual because the last day is 30th September , so I read
hard , but of course not all the manual , but what I feel its
important to read in the manual .
I do not figure out that zend write the objective untill the last day
, I take the self test and it make me feel better but the self test
making you feel like if you get 3 from 5 you will success ,  I arrive
at the center , do what it have to be done , and log in the room and I
was very excited about exam when I get the test I found out its very
simple and easy but because I read from manual I have confused in a
lot of things in exam .

Example 1 : they give 4 function and ask you to choose 2 , in all my
life I was just one function and for first time now I hear there are
another function which help you to calc the file size , so I choose
random function .

Example 2 :
they give you some space to fill some text from your experience , I
think I must write what they think its truth , inn example one of
space I confuse what to write (object or class) because I do not get
the situation of the code or thing they talk about , and think what if
you write the spelling wrong but you get the idea.

Example 3:
they ask you about the possibility of validate user input if its for
only unTrusted person or on the internet or also give you 2 choice, I
think this thing is belong to me to decide on my work experience and
not the opinion of the testers .


at the final I feel and believe in my heart like I get 60 or 50 of
exam at least correct but the I end I figure out my grade is FAILED .
I have 3 years experience with php , I build a script of thousands of
lines , but the really point that I do not read thing in manual untill
I feel I must read and I need it, I make lot of scripts on php from 3
years , I do not work ever with streams , and i get what I need in
regular expression by test and test and test for the code , if you
want my advice read a lot about arrays and if the function will give
you the new value or will do the process in the same array and which
type of array the function must use and return and how much of arrays
they can handle.

I write a book in php in arabic of more than 100 and it was the first
book for arabs, , I make scripts for writers , sellers , shops And now
i figure out that I must read good and install manual in my brain to
be success .

but what the benefit of this when I read I figure out that there are a
lot of thinngs usefel in php that I do not know about .
and give me a keys for a new things in php that I was do not care
about it in the past .

I encourage the people have a good brain to save information to get
the test , and encourage the people to complete thier road of
development , your work is the strongest approve of your Exprience and
your hardwork . the problem that youu will not be in the yellow pages
in the Zend site .

finally , thanks to the people who write the test they make it very
good and very simple and easy , they was so fair , who got good
knowldge will pass .

It doesn't expire, but it's for a specific version of PHP (minor version
number, not point release). The yellow pages at Zend will be enhanced to
indicate the version number as well as the date once it becomes relevant.
Right now, every ZCE is current. :-)

[PHP] Resetting result sets after looping

[Steve Douville]

After cycling through a result set using mysql_fetch_assoc, I need to cycle
through the result set again. However, it's acting like it's maybe already
at the end of the result set and can't be looped again. I've looked for
something simple, like a result resetter, but I seem to be missing
something.

Any Ideas?

Dear Alawi,

I would like to thank you for your complements on the exam. The guys
that wrote it definitely did an excellent job and produced a test of
the highest quality.

Your experience shows that even seasoned developers can enhance their
PHP skills by studying for the exam. This is something I have heard
numerous times and hope it will increase the quality of PHP
development in the market.

Best,
