Wow, that's a first for me.  Will have to look out for that. I've been
parsing XML for quite a while now, and I guess never ran into this
issue.

Re: [PHP] Weird virtual() behavior for nested require()

Well, after 36 hours of silence on this one, I'll consider the 
php-general list stumped, and file it as a bug.

On Nov 15, 2004, at 11:50 AM, Paul Cantrell wrote:
I'm getting a weird behavior when virtual() calls another page that 
uses a require().  The behavior seems contrary to the docs for 
virtual.

Consider these four files:
-- foo.php --
This is foo.

-- foo.shtml --
This is foo.

-- subdir/bar.php --
This is bar.

-- subdir/baz.php --
This is baz.
According to the docs, virtual() handles the argument as an Apache 
subrequest -- in other words, it should be equivalent to an SSI 
include.  But it's not.  As I would expect, foo.shtml produces this:

This is foo. This is bar. This is baz.
Here's what I get from foo.php:
This is foo. This is bar.
Warning: main(./baz.php): failed to open stream: No such file or 
directory in
/blah/blah/blah/subdir/bar.php on line 2

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './baz.php' 
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php')
in /blah/blah/blah/subdir/bar.php on line 2

Oddly, it works if bar.php says require('baz.php') instead of 
require('./baz.php').  That smells really bad.  Is this a bug, or am I 
missing something?

Paul

Try this snippet which has worked for me in the past.  If you can email me the 
xml file in question, I can run
it through my parser directly.

Anyway, hope this helps:

while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)){
   $data=eregi_replace(">"."[[:space:]]+"."<","><",$data);
   if (!xml_parse($xmlparser, $data, feof($fp))) {
  $reason = xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xmlparser));
  $reason .= xml_get_current_line_number($xmlparser);
  die($reason);
   }

You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the keyword 'global' 
does. Read

  manual > Variables > Variable scope

study and *understand* the examples.

Now the reason why $ind seems to be passed onto tsnext.php is that:

1) global $ind defines a new variable that has a 'value' of NULL
2) $ind++ implicitly converts $ind to 0 (zero) then increments it
3) hence echo $ind shows 1

Summary: if you want to pass values from one page to another either do so 
using the URL, or by storing them in sessions.

Do it in PHP, not in the query, IMHO.

You can also experiment with strtotime()... the catch will be the 2 
digit year format, so you might have to either

a) assume the first two digits
b) accept PHP's assumptions on the first two digits
c) fix your database now into 4 digit format, to make it future proof 
and a lot more solid


The reason I wouldn't do this in the query is that you're relying on 
features of the particular SQL platform, version or table.  By moving 
that conversion back to PHP and keeping your queries simple and as 
standard as possible, you're going to be a lot happier if your 
environment changes.

But that's just the way I work :)

I have to admit I'm not following you. My suggestion that you use explode() 
was based on the premise that you have a bunch of lines:

...
xxx.x.x.x   0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U    0      0        0 eth1
0.0.0.0     xxx.x.x.x 0.0.0.0     UG   0      0        0 ppp0
...

that are currently stored in a string. After explode() you can use foreach() 
to loop through the array and check each line individually. Then based on 
whether the line passes the check you could either:

a) unset that array element (doesn't pass check so get rid of it)

or

b) copy that element to a new array (passes check so store it in a 'good' 
array)

Either way you'll end up with an array containing only 'good' lines.

isset() returns a boolean.

Did you purposefully ignore my previous email??? Someone else I think

assigning anything to $HTTP_GET_VARS at all? It's meant to retrieve

I'm sure I'll be one of the many who says this:

!isset

The ! means not. You can use it with most of the functions like !empty
(not empty).

So you can use it like so:

if (!isset($_GET["var"])) {
  do stuff
}

Chris I did not ignore your email  I tried using that
code.  A warning came back that urldecode was
expecting a string not an array.  This is why I posted
the followup wondering if I should impode the array
and then assign the urldecode.

I've been learning my OO with Advanced PHP Programming by George
Schlossnagle. It's strictly for PHP5.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672325616/qid=1100647513/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/002-6966928-3341645

But Object-Oriented Programming isn't necessarily a PHP thing but more of
an ideology of programming. It's a new way of writing out programs that
many new languages are taking in. If you're already comfortable writing
procedual programs with PHP than PHP can be a good stepping stone
introduction into the land of OO.

Re: [PHP] how to parse a string parse with ereg

[Mark-Walter]

Hi Jason Wong,

> > > The regular expression is already working but how can I reduce the
> > > string to have then only 2 lines ?
> > Convert the string into an array using explode().
 
Thank's a lot for this information. I tried this but
one thing is not suitable so far for me while
using explode.

E.g. if have the output of route -n:

xxx.x.x.x   0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0  00 ppp0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U0  00 eth1
0.0.0.0 xxx.x.x.x 0.0.0.0 UG   0  00 ppp0

By using this example it's quite easy to analyze all
lines due to a correct syntax:

$INET_NUM = ereg_replace("[\ ]+([a-z]+)([0-9]{1})","\\1\\2_XrR",$INET_NUM);
$sorter = explode("_XrR",$INET_NUM);

But it has one weakness. In the case the device (ppp0) is 
missing somewhere in the output as the user didn't intend
to integrate this required information, and by having insight
it could be more than 10 lines with 10.000 rules of 
netfilter, explode will show concerning this example of 3
lines 2 defined arrays and it won't lead to an error as 
explode doesn't give a return value back which
has not been proofed to be exploded with _XrR. 
 
As I want to proof the syntax of all lines this is
wrong and not usable.
 
What I would need is a function which counts, based on a 
regular expression, how many times this shema occurs inside
of a string. So I can reduce the possibilty to have not an 
error and I could proof against the missing device by 
searching for 3 ip addresses followed by spaces and so on.

E.g. the above example of explode would show 2 set arrays
but with a regular expression which counts all ip addresses
and so on it would show 3 lines matching the construct. The
difference would lead then to an error message as the user
input was wrong.

Re: [PHP] Re: php.ini

This is a similar question, but under Linux.
No matter how I change the upload_max_filesize in /etc/php.ini, the file 
uploading script refuses to accept files larger than 512 kB.
If I run the phpinfo() function, the new value for upload_max_size (20M) 
appears there, but I get the message  "File contains no data".
I repeated the test on another server running Linux, and I succeded in 
uploading a 6 MB file, by changing the value of upload_max_filesize.
My server must have some fundamental setting that overrides the php.ini 
settings. Can anyone clarify the matter?

Well it's better because it's a lot easier to read for one and two
because the pipe is a relatively safe delimiter. Kelly has a good idea
about using a tab (\t) instead, but if we want to get *really* crazy
let's use something like $#*$(#*@(*$@ as a delimiter. For sure that's
not going to be duplicated on accident. :)

Re: [PHP] Auto-load class if it doesn't exists!

[Rick Fletcher]

is it possible to have a solution that works like an autoloader... for 
example:

$myclass = new class();
but if this class wasn't loaded yet, it loads by itself... egg:
if(class_exists(class))
{
 $myclass = new class();
}
else
{
 require_once(PATH_DIR.'class.class.php');
$myclass = new class();
}
PHP5 has a callback for just this purpose.
A special function named __autoload() is called whenever an attempt is 
made to instantiate an undeclared class.  The function should then 
define the needed class.

I've been using it for months without any issue.
I just did a search and was suprised to see it's missing from the docs 
at php.net.  It's mentioned on zend.com though:

RE: [PHP] splitting string

Pipes are also good visual delimiters - so if you're reading through output
or looking in your raw data, I find that by scanning for pipes is a lot
easier visually than other sorts of delimiters. I've sometimes used two or
three pipes in a row just to make sure I don't have someone entering a
single pipe to screw up the code or to just make it that much easier to find
in large strings of text.

For me, I'll use pipes because they are so rarely used (if ever) when an 
user is entering text.  If I make my delimiter a newline (or comma, 
etc.), and an end user enters one with whatever they're inputting, it

Re: [PHP] Problem typing in PHP forms on Mac OS

Thank you for the response Brent. I made that change and the problem still 
exists. I ran the page through the validator and it found some generic 
problems, but nothing that seemed like it would relate here.

I think tabs are a better delimiter since they can't really be input into
a text field in a typical form/browser, and they have even less relevance
to most text input. (I can't think of why a pipe would be there either,
but it would be easy to type one in, even on accident, therefore you'd
need to sanitize the input to assure you didn't have unexpected
delimiters; probably should anyway regardless of delimiter).

Also, remember list() when unpacking an array to variables:
list($address, $city, $state, $zip, $country) = explode("\t", $input);

I agree, however, that this is an undesirable way to store data in an 
RDBMS. Still, it's better than serializing and unserializing... :)

On that note, I think this should only be used for data that is NEVER
intended to be queried, but may be usefully extracted on SELECTed records. 
And we know the wisdom of assuming something will NEVER be necessary! :)

[PHP] odbc fetch array issues

[Adil]

Hey people,

Anyone know much about odbc_fetch_array() or odbc_fetch_object() functions
in php.  My while loop keeps breaking while using this function.  I'm trying
to grab a row from the result returned by the database query and for testing
purposes, just printing out each item in the row as follows:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' AND
password='$password'";
 $result = odbc_exec($dbConnection, $sql);

while ($rows = odbc_fetch_array($result)) {   //This doesn't work with
odbc_fetch_object either
 print $rows->COLUMNNAME;
  }


I get nothing at all which I find pretty strange so I wanted to know if
there were any bugs with this function, maye while working on IIS or just
problems with the functions themselves.

Thx again
Adil.

Sorry, for some reason my email is out of synch today.
First the searchresults.php is reading the values
properly.  The queries are running correct-all fields.
 I'm still printing out the sql statement and those
are  without the hex values.

The method is $_GET , search.php is nothing more then
some form elements and fields.  
For searchresults.php (right below) is the way I'm
grabbing everything:

$HTTP_GET_VARS['Ind'];
// check any item is selected
if (count($Ind) > 0 AND is_array($Ind)) {
$s_Ind = "'".implode("','", $Ind)."'";
}
$HTTP_GET_VARS['State'];
// check any item is selected
if (count($State) > 0 AND is_array($State)) {
$s_State = "'".implode("','", $State)."'";
}
$HTTP_GET_VARS['TType'];
// check any item is selected
if (count($TType) > 0 AND is_array($TType)) {
$s_TType = "'".implode("','", $TType)."'";
}

//Textfields / Dropdown
$HTTP_GET_VARS['JTitle'];
$HTTP_GET_VARS['City'];
$HTTP_GET_VARS['Days']; 

I'm not seeing what is incorrect. I did try 
$HTTP_GET_VARS['Ind'] = urldecode('Ind'); (in
searchresults.php) but of course it wasn't imploded
yet.  I don't want to confuse this question or myself
(or anyone) , but maybe I should do the implodes on
search.php ?

[PHP] bubble sort crashing apache

[Josh Howe]

I've implemented my own bubble sort function that is crashing apache.
Can somebody either help me out with the bubble sort or help me figure
out a way to solve my problem with php's built in sorting functions?

This is my problem. I'm writing my own class for displaying html tables.
Right now, the only thing this class really abstracts is the sorting of
the table rows by any column ascending or descending. My table class
accepts an array of $row objects. Each $row object itself contains an
array of $cell objects. I've included the function I'm using to sort the
rows at the end of the email.

The problem I'm seeing is that after about the 3rd sort on a particular
column, apache crashes. Maybe bubble sort isn't the best sorting
algorithm, since when the user switches from ascending to descending
sort order on the same column or vice versa, I get the worst case
scenario for a bubble sort (the data is in reverse order). 

Any ideas? Thanks!!



private function sort() {
$col_name = $this->order_by;

/*
** Get the column number of the column we're
** ordering by.
*/
for ($i = 0; $i < count($this->col_names); $i++) {
if (strtoupper($col_name) ==
strtoupper($this->col_names[$i])) {
$col_num = $i;
break;
}   
}

/*
** bubble sort
*/  
for ($n = 0; $n < count($this->contents); $n++) {
$sorted = true;

for ($y = 0; $y < count($this->contents) - 1; $y++) {
$cell_arr_this =
$this->contents[$y]->get_cell_arr();
$cell_arr_next = $this->contents[$y +
1]->get_cell_arr();

if
($this->out_of_order($cell_arr_this[$col_num],$cell_arr_next[$col_num]))
{
$tmp_row = $this->contents[$y];
$this->contents[$y] = $this->contents[$y
+ 1];
$this->contents[$y + 1] = $tmp_row;

$sorted = false;
}
}

if ($sorted) break;
}
}

function out_of_order($val1, $val2) {
if ($this->order_dir == "desc") {
if ($val2 > $val1)
return true;
else 
return false;
} else {
if ($val1 > $val2)
return true;
else 
return false;
}
}

Remember, working code is better than pretty code, on any day.
If you have a system that you understand and it works (without 
excessively slowing the system down or grinding it to a halt), then 
stick with it. Over time you'll learn better ways of doing things. But, 
your first goal should be getting it to work and getting your desired 
output, even though you may be doing it the "hard way."

I don't know of any comparisons, but even if they exist, unless they
are very detailed about the kind of application that they built and
tested, I would be skeptical about drawing a meaningful conclusion.
The reason being that it is very difficult (impossible?) to say that
one language is faster than another when comparing applications
written in those languages. The speed of a high traffic site is more
dependent on where each application runs into a bottleneck and how
that is or isn't solved. Sometimes the bottleneck has nothing to do
with the application, but the network it is running on or something
else.

There are too many variables that affect the speed of a site to say
one language is faster than the other. Both languages can be used to
write fast, high traffic sites.

Re: [PHP] splitting string

[Brent Baisley]

The problem is that you are using single quotes, so php is looking for 
a literal \n rather than escaping it to a new line character. Try 
double quotes and then PHP will parse the contents of the quotes, 
looking for escape characters and  variables.
explode("\n")

Use nl2br() to convert new lines to .

It's returning an array, not an object (I can't speak as to how the
odbc_fetch_object function behaves - it seems poorly documented, but it
looks like you get back something more fancy than a simple object with
named variables).

In short, use odbc_fetch_array and refer to the items as
$rows["COLUMNNAME"] (or use single quotes).

That one is the right one. But you must use double quotes, not single

Notice that you used "\n" when creating $string? Do the same here.

You're not using your database like it should be used. Each invidually 
identifiable item should be stored in a separate column. Lumping everything 
into one column makes it harder to extract and process data. Google for 
"normalise table tutorial", or "normalize table tutorial" if you want things 
from a mainly American point of view.

Actually it seems like the Zend IDE installed another apache server. But
the situation is more confusing.

When I start my standard apache server (dbl-click the binary itself to
make sure no windows services are redirecting), it is not looking for a
php.ini in the same folder as the binary. It reads in
C:/dev/Zend/etc/php.ini

I think I tracked down the issue to setting which httpd.conf apache looks
for. the directory setup is:

apache/
   /conf/httpd.conf

but this file seems to not be getting used, rather it is using the other
apache install...

1 apache binary
  2 looks for an httpd.conf (search order?)
3 which has a line where to load a php.dll
  4 php.ini is looked for next to the php.dll
 5 php.ini says where to find other php extensions etc.

so somewhere tween 1 and 2 there is a redirect i cannot track down.

i guess its not really a PHP issue, more an apache/zend IDE installer
thing but appreciate any tips...

Zend installs its own php binaries (unless you do a custom setup).

Double quotes will cause the value to be evaluated as a newline
character.  The single quotes will not.  Use "\n" instead like you did
when you made the string.

You can use whatever works.  I use the pipe | character, it's pretty
standard and I've never seen it used as anything except a delimiter.

use "\n" instead of '\n'. Special characters and variables between 
single quotes aren't replaced with their ACTUAL meanings, while they are 
when the text is between DOUBLE quotes. So, using "\n" you get a NewLine 
character; using '\n' you will get the raw text '\n' (no quotes)

Mike - 
Not sure what context would be useful.  The form
action is set to $_GET method.  I should have noticed
POST in there but set those urldecodes via Dreamweaver
bindings.  If you know what those are. Originally the
form was $_POST.  Now -  method="get"  
The search.php form really does nothing with the
arrays.  In searchresults.php I am grabbing the
variables like this:

$HTTP_GET_VARS['Ind']
if (count($Ind) > 0 AND is_array($Ind)) {
$s_Ind = "'".implode("','", $Ind)."'";

Re: [PHP] Is Perl faster than PHP?

[Brent Baisley]

Since both Perl and PHP are scripting languages, I don't think you 
could definitively say one is faster than the other. First and foremost 
it's the talent of the coder that makes a program fast or slow. Perl 
has been around a lot longer and so the libraries (i.e. CPAN) are more 
refined and optimized. For instance, I would say Perl DBI is faster at 
accessing databases than PHP's PEAR.  You don't have to use PEAR if you 
find the overhead too much. And you don't have to use DBI, but DBI is 
so mature I don't know why you wouldn't want to. You could also get 
"compilers" for both languages to speed up your site.

I've seen some really slow Perl sites and some really slow PHP sites. 
The learning curve for PHP is far easier than that for Perl, so you 
probably have many more people using PHP for their sites that aren't 
really that good at scripting. And how many of those slow PHP sites 
were generated from Dreamweaver? If you did extensive tests, I would 
say Perl would probably come out ahead. But that doesn't mean you can't 
create a PHP site that is really fast.

Sorry, I know I didn't answer your question.

Re: [PHP] link in ModalDialog

[vlad georgescu]

first of all thanks for response.

and second, some clarification. i have a main window (with a txtarea -
html-editor), from this page I want to open a little page
(upload_img.php) to handle the uploadimg2-onserver and return
path2img-onserver (where was uploaded) on close.

showModalDialog in js open a page in modal mode (on top). this type of
window can return a value (the parent is waiting until child is
closed), but, as I telling you, any link/redirect in modal window
opens a new one instead of opening in the same window. due to this I
can't use POST in upload_img.php.

the solution was in using a non-modal window for upload_img.php, and
returning result with js opener reference
(opener.document.forms[0].htmled.value+= "";)

regards,

URL encoding and decoding is done completely outwith PHP in this case -- the
encoding to %xx is done by the browser, and automatically decoded by the Web
server on the way through to PHP.  You should never see the %xx versions in
your script, and will have no need of urldecode().

The main problem with the above snippet that I can see is that there's very
unlikely to be such a thing as $_POST["Ind[]"] -- form fields with
name="Ind[]" will turn up as an array in $_POST["Ind"] ($_POST["Ind"][0],
$_POST["Ind"][1], etc.).  But the whole snippet looks very odd -- why are
you trying to pass POSTed values as GET variables on (I presume) a form
action??  Can you post a little context to the list to give us some idea
what you're really trying to do.

Cheers!

When you're building a query string then (in general) there is no need for 
urldecode(). On the contrary you want to use urlencode(), this is done on the 
*value* of the individual parameters.

And about this:  $_POST["Ind[]"], it's obvious you haven't absorbed what I 
said about this particular construct. Please re-read my previous post 
regarding this and try to understand it.

> Or should I do a $_GET['Ind'] = urlencode('Ind') on
> searchresults.php ?

If the URL on the searchpage was constructed properly then on 
searchresults.php the values passed can be read from $_GET directly with no 
further processing (ie no need for urldecode() and other such nonsese) on 
your part. But remember, you still need to validate the data you get from 
$_GET (and in general from $_POST etc) before you use them.

Re: [PHP] my own extension

It is a large delphi library I want to call from PHP, so I don't think

But you know your library and you have it under control so maybe it's 
easier to write C include files to interface your Kylix library from C 
instead of writing Delphi-Units to interface PHP from Kylix.

So I would try to first implement a C interface (or C++ if it has OO) 
for your Delphi library and then write a simple PHP extension which uses 
this C/C++ interface to use your delphi lib.

[PHP] Auto-load class if it doesn't exists!

[Bruno B B Magalhães]

Hi people,
is it possible to have a solution that works like an autoloader... for 
example:

$myclass = new class();
but if this class wasn't loaded yet, it loads by itself... egg:
if(class_exists(class))
{
 $myclass = new class();
}
else
{
 require_once(PATH_DIR.'class.class.php');
$myclass = new class();
}
Regards,
Bruno B B Magalhaes

[PHP] How to path global object

[Hongwei Li]

Hi,

I have a question of how to path global object's values.  Below are some
simplified codes.  It has 4 pieces:

1. tsstart.php: -- this is the start point to be browsed



2. tsdata.php: -- to get data, here I set it as a 2-d array and assign
values to it to simplify the code



3. tsshow.php: -- display the values of $obj:

";
?>

 

 First Row: 
 Second Row: 

Next 
 

4. tsnext.php: -- to display the next 2-d array element's value:

";
include "tsshow.php";
?>

Now, when I browse tsstart.php, it displays:
result-set index: 0
  First Row: 0
  Second Row: 2
and the link "Next"

However, when I click the link "Next", it displays:
new ind: 1
result-set index: 1
  First Row:
  Second Row:

no values are displayed.  Apparently, $obj is not pathed to tsnext.php and
tsshow.php (the second time), but $ind is.  What is wrong in the above
codes?  Can somebody help me?

I greatly appreciate all help!

[PHP] weekly email idea

[Robby Russell]

On some of the general lists (like I am on the python list), they have a
weekly email that someone puts together and sends out to the list with
tips and urls to things found throughout the week on the mailing list.
People post valuable links and information and it would be a quick
overview of the past week in URLs/quotes/etc.

I'd be happy to take this on initially (the python passes it around to
the more active people every once in a while), just wondering if you
think it would be worthwhile or not. We could even have, "best
javascript question of the week" section in the email. ;-)

Thoughts? I looked over the past several months and saw nothing like
this happening so I thought I'd put the idea out there and would be
happy to try it out for a few weeks. I don't think one email a week
would flood our inbox so any other concerns, comments or suggestions?

Cheers,

-Robby

Re: [PHP] Is Perl faster than PHP?

Hi there,
it came to my attention that most of the high traffic portals are 
using perl in the backend. Those sites do also apear to me to be very 
fast in comparison to most php sites. Are there any known performance 
comperissons between the two available? Or can one say that PHP or 
Perl is faster about x percent in general compared to the other one?
PHP is faster when running uphill and perl is faster when running 
download. On Sri Lankan roads they are both equally slow.
