[PHP] Regex question: replacing incidences of character when not enclosed within HTML tags?
Hi All,
I have content that contains several lengthy hyphenated sentences, such as:
This-is-a-sentence-in-which-all-the-words-are-hyphenated.
I've noticed that some (maybe all?) browsers, particularly Firefox, will not
wrap long strings of hyphenated words when they are contained in a DIV tag
-- instead, the sentence simply runs out across the right border of the DIV
and overlaps any content to the right.
After some experimentation, I discovered that a hack that seems to behave
well in Firefox, Opera, and IE6 is to replace all incidences of the hyphen
("-") character with "- ". This
effectively creates a zero-width space character after each hyphen and
allows the sentence to wrap as desired.
My dilemma is that while I want to replace any hyphens with the above hack
when and where they appear within normal sentences, I don't want to replace
them when and where they appear within HTML tags.
So, imagine I have a string that contains:
This-is-a-sentence-that-contains-hyphenation. This is a
sentence that doesn't contain hyphenation. This is a link that will take
you nowhere.
I managed to build a replacement regular expression that would ignore any
hyphenated strings that were terminated by a colon (":") character (which
effectively leaves inline style attributes in DIV and SPAN blocks
untouched).
", $whatever); ?>
This seemed to work well in most circumstances, however, in testing I
discovered several incidences of urls that also contain hyphens
(in particular, some that lead to Amazon.com).
So, thinking about it a little more, I decided what I was looking for was a
regular expression that would allow me to replace any incidences of hyphens
when not contained within tags (i.e., when not contained between "<" and
">").
And this is where things have ground to a halt.
I'm wondering if anyone can give me some help with this? I've tried to find
a solution via google, but most regex examples dealing with HTML tags are
concerned with finding tags and their contents, not with finding specific
instances of characters not contained within tags.
Any help appreciated!
Much warmth,
Murray

[PHP] CLI: unable to exec shell commands
Hi all I have several scripts that stoped working. All those scripts have in common that they call shell commands. To find out what was going on, I did a little test cat << "?>" | php exec test sh: /usr/local/php/bin/dir: No such file or directory As you can see it is trying to call sh with a weird path. It should use /usr/bin/dir instead Also when I try it with 'type' (which is an internal command) it has the same result. I recently switched from FC3 to FC4 for my development. The PHP binary I'm using was compiled from sources with the following charasteristics: PHP Version => 4.3.10 Configure Command => './configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/bin' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--with-mysql' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-gd' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-ttf-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/lib' '--with-png-dir=/usr/lib' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ctype' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-bz2' '--with-iconv' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib' '--disable-cgi' '--with-cli' Server API => Command Line Interface Any ideas?

I have a form that contains 100 questions. To make it easier on the user, I will divide it into 5 sections (20 questions per section), then all the information will be written to a db. What is the best way to carry along through the pages the information that has already been submitted? Cookies? Writing to a DB after each section? Session Variables? I read that writing to a database as i go along could be too much of a hazzle for the db, specially if I have multiple people filling out the form at the same time.

Re: [PHP] cybercash as a shared object
Bill Shupp wrote: I need to install the cybercash module on a Debian Sarge system. I really want to keep Debian's PHP packages, and just build this as a shared module. At least one post in the archives indicates that this is possible, as does one changelog entry. However, no specifics were offered. Here's what I've tried: I can build the module fine statically. I can build the shared module cybercash.so by modifying the ext/cybercash/config.m4 and Makefile files, modeling them after the mcrypt.so entries. While modules/cybercash.so does get built, I get this error when trying to load it: PHP Warning: Unknown(): Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'cybercash.so' in Unknown on line 0 I'm building with PHP 4.3.10, and the latest cybercash from PECL. I've also tried the cybercash module from 4.2.3, as suggested in one of the online manual comments. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Bill Shupp I was able to get it compiled by re-writing the config.m4 file, modeling it after the pfpro config.m4 file. Here's what I posted on the online manual comments, just so that it makes it to the mail archives as well: ## Here's how to install cybercash dynamically into PHP 1. Make sure you have the php dev tools installed, like pear and phpize. 2. Download the cybercash module: pear download cybercash 3. Untar the module: tar -xzf cybercash-.tgz 4. Download and install my updated config.m4 file, the current one (as of version 1.18p1) doesn't work: wget http://shupp.org/patches/cybercash.config.m4 cd cybercash- mv ../cybercash.config.m4 config.m4 5. Setup/compile module phpize ./configure --with-cybercash=/path/to/cybercash-mck-library-source/c-api make 6. Install module. For Debian Sarge, the modules directory is /usr/lib/php4/20020429/: cp modules/cybercash.so /usr/lib/php4/20020429/ (make install may work also) 7. Enable the module in php.ini, restart apache. ## Incidentally, when I tried to compile the pfpro module from within the PHP source using buildconf, I got setting mismatch errors when trying to load it into Debian's PHP binaries. However, by moving the extension out of the PHP source, and using phpize to setup it up, it loaded perfectly. Hope this helps someone else save some time!
