[PHP] Regular Expression to replace pseudo-HTML?

[Murray @ PlanetThoughtful]

Hi All,

 

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out a regex that will replace
pseudo-HTML codes in a string with desired HTML equivalents. In particular,
I'm trying to implement a message quoting facility, such as when you click
on the 'quote'  button in phpBB.

 

An example of a source string would be:

 



 

[quote="John"]Some quoted text.

 

Some more quoted text.

 

[quote="Mary"]My older comment.[/quote][/quote]

 

My current comments.

 



 

Ideally, I'd like this to become something like:

 



 



John wrote:





Some quoted text.

 

Some more quoted text.



Mary wrote:





My older comment.





 

My current comments.

 



 

Given that pseudo-HTML seems common on bulletin board systems I'd hoped
there'd be a published function available to handle it, but I haven't had
any luck finding one and while I've been able to find a couple of regex
examples (eg http://www.regexlib.com/REDetails.aspx?regexp_id=520) they
appear to be aimed at ASP.NET rather than PHP and my attempts to get them
working in PHP (hampered, admittedly, by my general confusion about regex's)
haven't met with any luck.

 

Truly, any help immensely appreciated!

 

Much warmth,

 

Murray

Re: [PHP] script

I'd like to get my code to calculate the time between the current date (when 
the page is loaded by the visitor) and the very next Tuesday at 11pm. I 
suspect I can do this with date("w") but I can't quite figure out how to make 
Tuesday the beginning or end of the week in order to accomplish this...

maybe I'm going about this the wrong way.
Again, any pointers or assistance appreciated.
Hmm... well, using date("w") will tell you what day of the week it is, and 
you know that 0=sunday and 2=tuesday.

use that and some logic to compute the number of days between today and 
the next tuesday.

Then figure out how many seconds have elapsed for today and 
use that in conjunction with the number of days in between and the number 
of seconds to get to 11pm (23*60*60).

Then substract the two... and pass that to date in the format you want.
Or something like that :)

class B.  Which makes sense if you think about the code, which will look
like

$this->guid()

... and '$this' is a 'B'

The easiest way is to tell your users you expect file format to be text only.  
You can test for mime type by using built-in php functions (and should do 
so!).

The hard way means that you need a parser for pdf, rtf, and doc files.  PDF is 
open format so there will no doubt be some PEAR module for it.  Rtf is quit 
ieasy to parse yourself, and doc is m$ propriety so that will be a lot more 
difficult to implement.

Or better, you might find a commandline tool that can do the job for you, and 
call that from within php.  Before doing so, please take at least one day to 
study security.  Since you provide your users with a way to transfer files to 
your server.  And you process those files then possibly users can hack your 
server.


When you got it working, report back here and ask us to analyze your code for 
pointers on how to make it more secure.

Good luck!

Since Class B overrides method guid, function x will call the method
from Class B.

[PHP] Abstract Legacy question

[Andy Pieters]

Hi group

This is kinda hard to say in words, so I'll give a little example

Class A
  function x
calls function guid
  function y
  function z
  function guid
Class B extends A
 function y
   calls function x
 function guid

So what I'm wondering is when class B calls its function Y, it will in its 
turn call function X (which is not overloaded in class B) and function X 
calls the function GUID from which class?  Class A or Class B?

Kind regards

[PHP] converting word document to plain text file

[Cima]

hi,

i need to store some files that contain text in my database. im planing to
upload the file using a php script. what id like is to be able to take the
info(text writen in the file) from the file and store it on a plain text
file and then store it since i plan to consult the info in these plain text
files later. the thing is that in case someone decides to upload a *.doc,
*.rtf or *.pdf, i dont know how to read such files to get the text from
them. is there a way to these types of files in php or some other way?

thanx.

[PHP] Robustly using XSLT across different versions of PHP?

[D. D. Brierton]

Has anyone written anything, perhaps in PEAR or elsewhere, that allows for
some portability of XSLT use across PHP 4 with Sablotron, PHP 4 with
domxml, and PHP 5?

I'm doing some work on a project at the moment, and the server it will be
hosted on initially has PHP 4 compiled with Sablotron support.
Unfortunately my workstation where I'm doing a lot of prototyping runs
Fedora Core 3 and has PHP 4.3.11 compiled with '--with-xml'
'--with-expat-dir=/usr' '--with-dom=shared,/usr' '--with-dom-xslt=/usr'
'--with-dom-exslt=/usr'. All attempts so far to recompile Fedora's src rpm
with sablotron have failed and frankly I've given up. Besides which, it's
likely that at some we'll want to start using PHP 5. I can use the domxml
XSLT support in PHP 4 on my FC3 box just fine, e.g. like this:

process($xmldoc);
echo $xsldoc->result_dump_mem($result);   
?>

but that isn't too much help given that that doesn't work on the
production server.

Has anyone done any work on creating something like PEAR:DB which will
use the functions described here:

http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.domxml.php
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.xslt.php
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.xsl.php

depending on their availability?

TIA.

Best, Darren

Finding clients who even run 4.0.x is rare for me, most still use 3.23 I find.

I'm hosting my personal stuff with a company that has 4.1.x installed
but it's with PHP 4 so I still use the regular mysql functions.


On thing I've been doing to prepare for the switch is stuff like this:

$extensions = get_loaded_extensions();

what does the following show? (I don't have php4 at hand):

display of recursion with regard to objects... internals mailinglist archive

No. HTTP requests are stateless, meaning they have no memory of what
requests happened before or after, or how those requests were made. PHP
does not affect that behaviour at all; it's entirely a matter of the
HTTP protocol.

If you want the POST variables to propogate to the redirected page, use
a session.

Re: [PHP] Images - Converting TIFF Format?

I searched through my server's system (I'm not running it, it's my ISP) and

I was just playing with the SQLinstead of entering new user_id's for
each person
visiting i just tried increment it...

I ran the above in phpmyadmin like so:

 UPDATE `test_last_visitors` SET `user_id`=7,
 `ttimestamp`=now() WHERE `profile_id`=2 ORDER BY `ttimestamp`
 ASC LIMIT 1

its only updateing the top first record :-(

I'm just about to throw in the towel...

SET user_id=user_id+1
WHERE profile_id=1
ORDER BY ttimestamp LIMIT 1;

You don't have to explicitly update the timestamp column. It will do this
automatically. This will rotate through the five rows. This may have failed
in your test because if you executed this in a script and all of the sql
statements occurred in the same second, you would probably see the behavior
that you described.

Keep running the same UPDATE query a few times and see that it only updates
the top record, it leaves all the others even though the others timestamps
are lower... atleast thats whats happening to me :-(

No reason for it to do that unless your data is a bit weird.
Use print_r() or var_dump to see what each array contains - you might find you 
have a blank entry being tacked on somehow (which you could detect with an

Ie, can you do:

Hey,
Thanks for replying.

Theres something wrong coz its not working as expected...
I followed instructions and created a table like this:


CREATE TABLE test_last_visitors (
  profile_id int(10) default NULL,
  user_id int(10) default NULL,
  ttimestamp timestamp(14) NOT NULL) TYPE=MyISAM;

then I ran this 5 times: (logic being: test with 5, if it works go with 10
or more) :-)
insert into `test_last_visitors` values(1,1,now());

then from my php script (test_last_visitors.php) I ran this test SQL:
$SQL = "UPDATE test_last_visitors SET profile_id=".$profile_id.",
user_id=user_id+1,
ttimestamp=now() WHERE profile_id=1 ORDER BY ttimestamp ASC LIMIT 1";


The first 5 times it works perfectly, then after that it updates only the
latest record over and over again :-(
I tried playing with the ASC and DESC, MIN and MAXno joy.

Any idea whats wrong?

Thanks,
Ryan

Are the group delimiters different from the field delimiters?

Ie, can you do:
$array_of_groups = explode('group_delim', $in_string);
foreach ($array_of_groups as $i) {
 $array_of_fields = explode('field_delim', $i);
 $date = date('m/j/y g:i:a', $array_of_fields[0]);
 print "$date {$a_o_f[1]}{$a_o_f[2]}\n";
}

YMMV of course.

[PHP] Replacement Question.

[Bob Palma]

I have a database field that I need to read and do some conversion on. 
Here is what the raw data from the database looks like:

alert C:\ at 85%1084799703bpalmafixed.1084799713bpalmaclosed

After conversion, it should look like this:

I have tried to use eregi_replace to convert the timestamps to DateTime, 
but I end up with all three timestamps being changed to the same time 
(5/16/2004 7:48:29 PM).

Here is the quick, albeit ugly, code I've tried to come close
--
$worklogt3 = eregi_replace("","", $worklogt1);
$worklogt4 = eregi_replace("","", $worklogt3);
$worklog = eregi_replace("[0-9]{10,10}",date("m/j/y g:i
a",$worklogt4),$worklogt4);
--
$worklogt1 is the value of the field from the database and the first two 
replacements are actually for different characters, even though they 
look the same.

Can anyone help me with this?  I've been beating myself up for almost 
three days over this.

Thanks in Advance,
Bob Palma

You can leave these off. Changing ENGINE to TYPE will fix that error, and 
you can leave off the charset. I believe utf8 was added in 4.1. If you 
leave off charset=xxx it will just default to whatever the server's 
default-character-set is set to, probably latin1.

Yes, it is OK. Make sure that you have the tables properly indexed and

Really? I didn't know that. I thought it started at record 0 and then
output them in the order they appeared in the table data view (using
something like PHPMyAdmin.)
[/snip]

PHPMyAdmin uses an ORDER BY clause and it is initially on the primary
key index for any given table. Then PHPMyAdmin uses relevant column data
for the sort. SQL CAN and DOES spit out the records any way it wants
when no sort is specified. You dod not typically see it because of query
caching. (Ever notice that a second issue of the same query you just
made is much faster? Query caching.)

+1 on the bad idea for primary key re-use.

If they sort by location, they want the course records to show up in
alphabetical order based on location. Right now it does sort by
location, but it's not alphabetical because the Course.locationID,
Course.instructorID, and Course.categoryID are integers which relate
to three other respective tables. There is no join, and I didn't think
you were "supposed" to do a join on four tables.

Furthering our discussion of the ORDER BY clause...you can put more than
one sort criteria there...

ORDER BY l.locationName, c.courseName

So joining on four tables isn't considered bad practice? Technically
it's going to be five tables because the whole HTML table layout
changes to include "enroll" and "disenroll" buttons once they log in
and based on if they are enrolled or not in a particular course which
comes from the registrations table, which is simply their the "id"
from the Students table and the "id" from the Course table.

Thanks.

I can definitely say it is sorting on locationID, categoryID,

a sort on say locationID, it's not alphabetical but ordered by which
class has the lowest numerical value in the locationID field and then
ASC from there.

Maybe I confused you with the "ID" nomenclature. I mean to say it's
sorting by locationID, categoryID, instructorID (whichever column I
clicked on), and since those are integer values they aren't sorted
alphabetically).

If they sort by location, they want the course records to show up in

Course.instructorID, and Course.categoryID are integers which relate

By default it sorts by Course date.

I'm kinda doing that already as:

  $orderBy = $_GET['orderBy'];
else
  $orderBy = 'courseDate';

Actually it didn't degenerate, it was a SQL question all along. Unless

I also should have said that it the joins that allow you to maintain

Maybe I wasn't clear.

SELECT *
FROM Course
ORDER BY locationID ASC

Now the ORDER BY can be any one of five things based on the variable
passed by the hyperlink for the column they clicked on (location,
course, date, category, and instructor

Because locationID is an integer which directly relates to the
Instructors table id field (also an integer), there is no way in heck
that it can sort that any other way than numerically. There is no join
between the Course, Locations, and Instructors tables. All the Course
table knows is that there is an integer in the instructorID,
categoryID, and locationID field. Therefore it gets sorted
numerically, not alphabetically.

As I said, I was trying to keep the example simple. I actually have
the following tables in the DB.

Courses
Instructors
Locations
Categories
Students
Registrations
Supervisors

Courses contains information pertinent to a course.
 - id
 - name
 - courseDate
 - courseTime
 - ampm (morning or afternoon)
 - capacity (number of seats available)
 - locationID (corresponding id from the Locations table)
 - instructorID (corresponding id from the Instructors table)
 - seatsLeft (counter for the number of available seats)
 - description (what the course is about)
 - categoryID (corresponding id from the Categories table)

Instructors
 - id
 - firstName
 - lastName
 - email
 - phone
 - image
 - about

Locations
 - id
 - name
 - seatingCapacity (How many true seats there are in the room)
 - address
 - directions

Categories
 - id
 - name

Students
 - id
 - firstName
 - lastName
 - email
 - phone
 - password
 - username
 - divisionOrFacility
 - programArea
 - supervisorID

Supervisors
 - id
 - firstName
 - lastName
 - email
 - phone

Registrations
 - id
 - courseID
 - studentID
 - attended

So... For me to list the upcoming courses on the main page, I have the
following column in the table:

Course Name   - From Course Table
Open Seats- From Course Table
Category  - From Course Table (match id in Categories table)
Date  - From Course Table
Time  - From Course Table
Location  - From Course Table (match id in Locations table)
Instructor- From Course Table (match id in Instructors table)

Category, Location, and Instructor are integers. What I did to get the
names respective to the integer value is that beforehand I built an
array for those three tables then I match the id from the Course Table
for each of the three with their respective array, and then display
the name.

Since the SELECT statement is based on the Course table, and the
Course table contains only integers, it's sorting by the integer value
of the categoryID, instructorID, or locationID in the Course table.

The actual SELECT statement is as follows:

$sqlCourses="SELECT * FROM " . $tbl_courses . " WHERE courseDate > '" . 
date("Y-m-d") . "' ORDER BY " . $orderBy . " ASC";

the $orderBy variable is set via $_GET['orderBy'] which is sent by the
table headers as below:

$tblHeaders = 'CourseOpen SeatsCategoryDateTimeLocationInstructor';

The sorting works just fine, but it's numerical ASC based off the
integer value (instructorID, categoryID, or locationID). It is *not*
alphabetical, which is what the customer wants.

If they sort by Location, the location column should be alphabetical
ASC, if by course name, then alphabetical ASC by the course name.

Is that a bit clearer now?

Sorry that this has degenerated into a MySQL question rather than PHP.
I was originally looking for how people handled it in PHP.

BTW, just for clarity sake on the arrays used to build the lookups to
display the list of courses, I'm doing an include with the following:

follows:



echo '' . $arrCategories[$rCourses['categoryId']]['name'] . '';

[PHP] explode a string

[Rory Browne]

Sorry jocham, for you getting this twice.

I'd assume foreach is recommended because it lends to more readable
code. More readable code, is generally considered better code.

Personally I'd disagree and use while( list() = each() ), because it
doesn't create a copy of the array in memory, especially for the
array. If you're dealing with an array where the elements are large,
or multi-dimentional, you may want to consider a different approach,
such as assigning by reference, like:

for($keys = array_keys($sample_array); $key = each($keys), $val =&
$sample_array[$key]; )

but that is very ugly untested code(and I'm drunk), so I wouldn't
recommend you copy n paste it.

besides for the sake of 200 bytes, with an average of around 5
characters per word, it pretty much doesn't matter, which you use.
Even something as crappy as ASP would easly deal with 200b.

Don't know ; Don't care.
You should never loop through so many things in PHP that it matters in the
first place :-)

I read a few days ago somewhere on php.net that foreach() is the
recommended (by php devs) way of iterating over arrays

[shrug]
That's probably because they're tired of people not understanding the
internal pointer array, and asking FAQs about it.  Or maybe not.  Ask them
why they prefer it.  I sure don't know.

also, compare these 2 lines:
while (list(, $idcat) = each($idcats)){ /* ... */ }
foreach ($idcats as $idcat){ /* ... */ }
now its seems to me that the foreach version is 'up' 2 function calls

None of those are function calls.
They are all language constructs.  Okay, each() *might* be a function...
I'm not sure how much difference there is in the number of language
constructs used, nor if they are even comparable in sheer numbers the way
functions are.
ah yes, lang constructs rather than function calls.
foreach is probably slower, I think, because it creates a *copy* of the
array to work on, so it won't mess up the original and its internal
pointer.
unless I'm mistaken its a copy-on-change, so unless you are changing the
the array inside the loop you don't suffer the actuall copy penalty - can anyone
knowledgable on php internals confirm or deny this?
actually now I think of it you can use references in a foreach statement:
php -r '
$arr = array(1,2,3);
foreach($arr as $k => &$v) {
$v++;
}
var_dump($arr);
'
which suggests that a copy is not (always?) being made...
Again, with 200 bytes, you are wasting your time to worry about any of this.
true, It's purely a theoretical interest - deeper understanding is alway

...its not even my 200 bytes we're talking about ;-)

on the while loop, all else being equal the foreach loop has to be faster
(given that calling functions is relatively very expensive)...
or is foreach() _really_ heavy when compared to while()?

there is
less to type (in the given example).

I'm an old dog, and I don't quite understand for sure how this new-fangled

Hello,

I have txt file "text.txt" that contains:

Line 4 contains empty string.

If I use f*() functions to read from the file:
$handle=fopen("text.txt","r");
while (!feof($handle)) echo("-".chop(fgets($handle))."-");
fclose($handle);

the RESULT will be:
-one-
-two-
-three-

I gzipped the file using ZLIB functions.

If I use gz*() function to read from the gzip file:
$handle=gzopen("text.txt.gz","r");
while (!gzeof($handle)) echo("-".chop(gzgets($handle))."-");
gzclose($handle);

the RESULT will be:
-one-
-two-
-three-

SEE? The last (empty) line is not returned .

What am I doing wrong?

RE: [PHP] set cookie function problem

You might consider using JavaScript to set the cookie, as that will
execute on the client and therefore use the client's time to make any
calculations regarding expiry. This may or may not suit your purpose.

If the user's computer clock is way out of whack, and you are setting a
cookie to expire in 1 hour, you're likely to have problems...

Though *maybe* browsers account for this by comparing your Date: header
and your clock time, and ignore the user clock.

For sure, though, *some* versions of IE will *NOT* work when you set a
Cookie time, but not a path.

That's because the Microsoft engineers mis-read the Cookie spec (on
purpose perhaps) and require *both* time and path, or neither, but not
just path.

YMMV

Why not try selecting both the short and the full values of loc1 from

Select loc1,  left(loc1,3) as locx, etc

Representing & characters as & has been a requirement of SGML and XML
based languages, HTML included, since long before XHTML appeared on the
scene.

What scripts would making this change be likely to break? I have difficulty
believing it could cause problems for other then a very small proprotion of
users - unlike the change in register_globals a few years ago.

We aren't talking about "in the URL", we're talking about "in the href
attribute". Browsers convert & in HTML documents (including in href
attributes) to & before they think about them being part of URLs.

Can you name any browser that gets it wrong? I stress that typing
http://www.example.com/?foo=bar&baz=baa into the address bar is not how
the issue should be tested.

No, XML and SGML which includes XHTML and HTML. How often are PHP sessions
used to generate output for languages other then those? 

And even if you want to generate for other languages, why not set
arg_separator.output to ; instead? Its already in arg_separator.input and
doesn't need escaping to be represented in an HTML or XHTML document. The
HTML specification even goes so far as to explicitly recommend it.
