[PHP] Rate to charge
I have been asked to look in toprogramming a PHP system for someone, and while I have been programming for a while this will be the first time it will be for someone other then a friend. Just wanted to get some ideas on how much you charge for program PHP/Mysql. Any ideas on how to charge would be great.

It's really up to you, though, and how much you value your time. Also take into account your expertise in PHP and MySQL, and in the problem domain. If you do not have a lot of expertise in either of those areas then you may not want to charge as highly.

Jasper I agree, it really depends on your (proffessional) experience, and expertise and even the client. I think I started at 25 euro and for my last clients I charged somewhere between 75 and 100 euro. I usually charge more for bigger corporations, because they tend to whine a lot more, and you'll always end up spending twice as much time as expected. One thing I learned. It's better to charge 100 dollars per hour and say you need 50 hours, instead of charging 50 hours and say it will take 100.

Re: [PHP] AJAX PHP
Yeah, AJAX is really going to change the way web applications are made... I've messed around with the tutorials with it... I've also seen it referred to as XMLHttpRequest .. I think the AJAX class transforms your PHP functions into javascript... seems like the class is just made to for people like me who are heavy with PHP... but don't have a clue about javascript... from my impression you need to be able to have a tiny bit of javascript programming skill to really put it to use... do a search on google for XMLHttpRequest PHP Tutorial .. there is a lot there Good Luck..

and btw. does anynone know why it is not good to let one function handle
both mehtods of calling (static and not static) as in PHP 5 you will get

function-definitions like:
class foo
{
static function bar()
{
return ANY_DEFAULT_VALUE;
}
function bar()
{
return $this-value;
}
}
or even
class foo
{
static function bar( $param )
{
return $param;
}
function bar()
{
return $this-param;
}
}
or is this at least an issue for the internals-list?

RE: [PHP] gloabl reference behavior question?
On 20 July 2005 23:40, Surendra Singhi wrote:
Hello,
(1)
When I try this code:
?php
$var_global = stuff;
function f1() {
global $var_global;
This is equivalent to creating a $var_global which is local to the function,
and making it be a reference to the global $var_global -- effectively:
$var_global = $GLOBALS['var_global'];
$var_local = array(1,2);
$var_global = $var_local;
But this assigns a new reference to $var_local to the (local) $var_global,
thus breaking the reference to the (global) $var_global -- so the (global)
$var_global isn't changed by this assignment.
}
Thus, when the function returns, the (local) $var_global disappears, and the
(global) $var_global comes back into scope with its value unchanged.
f1();
print_r($var_global);
I get the output:
stuff
where as I was expecting junk value or null.
My question is that, because the array is created locally and we
pass it by reference (without copying) so on the exit of
function, its value
is lost, but how does the global variable gets back its old value?
See description above.
Is it something which is not defined by the PHP language
reference and is
implementation specific?
No this is described in the manual at
http://php.net/global#language.variables.scope.references
To do what you're trying to do, you should make use of the $GLOBALS
superglobal:
$GLOBALS['var_global'] = $var_local;
But that seems very dodgy -- and, since $var_local disappears when the
function returns anyway, why not just:
$GLOBALS['var_global'] = array(1,2);
Overall, I'd be somewhat suspicious about what your function is trying to
do, as the whole approach seems rather convoluted to me.
Cheers!

[PHP] Re: still some problems with contact form
Hello Mark
An alternative (and more user-friendly) approach is to have the form's
action as itself (i.e. the form on contact.php submits to contact.php). You
can then identify which fields are incomplete and highlight them in the
form. This will make it easier for users to see what they have done wrong
and make the necessary corrections.
in regards to this response on my contact form issues, how would I do
these which you mention.
currentlly the form is:
form method=post action=Thankyou.php class=info_request
and the Thankyou.php code consit of what I posted on the forum.
thanks for all of your help!!
A sample set up is as follows, with much room for improvement and
refinement, but it should give you the basic idea.
contact.php
?php
#check that the form has been posted
$email=isset($_POST['email'])?$_POST['email']:'';
$emailerror=false;
if($email!=''){
#basic validation passed, so redirect
header(Location: Thankyou.php);
}else{
$emailerror=true;
}?
emailbr
form method=post action=contact.php class=info_request
input type=text name=email value=?=$email;?
?
if($_POST){
#show the input with a red background if the form has been posted and
if($emailerror==true)print 'style=background-color:red;';
}
?
input type=submit value=submit

[PHP] Class/Function Query Call Problem
I'm creating a psuedo mail/message app for users to send messages to
one another. For this, I've created a parent class,
class.members.php, and an extended class, class.mail.php. The problem
I'm having is when I make page which calls the classes members and
memberMail creates an infite loop; however, if I bypass the classes
and do the mysqli functions directly on the page, I get the right
output. There is only one record in the database; fnGetMailCount()
produces one record and fnGetMail() using 'return $query-num_rows'
produces one record. I'm assuming there's something with my while
loop, but I've used
this method for other query output without issue.
One other note, I've also tested by removing all session variables and
hard coding values instead and received the same results. Also, the
database variables are stored in an array in _global.php which is
included in the output page.
I apologize if these are basic questions, but while I'm learning, I
would prefer to learn properly instead of coding a bunch of junk just
for the sake of getting it done quickly (please let me know if I'm
heading down that path).
Under class.members.php I've created the constructor to initialize the
database vars.
class members {
var $iMemberID;
var $iProfileID;
var $_iMemberID;
var $_iProfileID;
var $mysqli;
var $query;
function members($dbServer, $dbUser, $dbPassword,$dbDSN){
$this-_dbServer = $dbServer;
$this-_dbUser = $dbUser;
$this-_dbPassword = $dbPassword;
$this-_dbDSN = $dbDSN;
}
[...]
}
Under class.mail.php I've extended members():
class memberMail extends members {
var $iMailID;
function memberMail(){
parent::members();
}
function fnGetMailCount() {
$sql =
SELECT iMessageID
FROM tblEmail
WHERE iToMemberID = . $this-getMemberID();
$mysqli = new mysqli($this-_dbServer,
$this-_dbUser,$this-_dbPassword, $this-_dbDSN);
$query = $mysqli-query($sql);
return $query-num_rows;
}
function fnGetMail() {
$sql =
SELECT *
FROM tblEmail
WHERE iToMemberID = . $this-getMemberID() .
Order by dtEmailDate Desc;
$mysqli = new mysqli($this-_dbServer, $this-_dbUser,
$this-_dbPassword, $this-_dbDSN);
$query = $mysqli-query($sql);
return $query-fetch_object();
//return $query-num_rows;
//return $query-fetch_assoc();
}
[]
}
Output/calling page:
?
require_once(../../classes/class.members.php);
require_once(../../classes/class.mail.php);
session_start();
require_once(../../_global.php);
//$objMember = new members(); //intialize member class
$objMail = new memberMail(); //initialize memberMail class
$objMail-members($aSiteSettings[sDBServer],$aSiteSettings[sDBLogin],$aSiteSettings[sDBPassword],
$aSiteSettings[sDSN]);
$objMail-setMemberID($_SESSION[iMemberID]);
$iMailCount = $objMail-fnGetMailCount();
while($rows=$objMail-fnGetMail()){
print_r($rows-sTitle);
}
/*
// Test mysqli directly on page - same as fnGetMail()
$sql =
SELECT *

WHERE iToMemberID = . $_SESSION[iMemberID] .
Order by dtEmailDate Desc;
$mysqli = new mysqli($aSiteSettings[sDBServer],
$aSiteSettings[sDBLogin],
$aSiteSettings[sDBPassword],
$aSiteSettings[sDSN]);
$query = $mysqli-query($sql);
while($rows = $query-fetch_object()){

Re: [PHP] AJAX PHP
Started playing with it about two months and have now integrated it into my project. Makes things a lot easier and much more dynamic. No more round trips to the server just to mark an action as completed or other simple things that normally required a refresh. You can do dynamic lookups based on what's entered in a field, without having to download all the information in javascript variables. A big bonus is that communication with the server can be done asynchronously, so the user still has complete control while you're doing lookups or whatever. I found it extremely simple to implement, although I'm returning text strings at the moment instead of XML. Not completely up to speed on parsing XML in javascript. You just pass a URL to the server, which would be a PHP file along with parameters. The only thing PHP is doing is 'echo'ing some data back to the client. A javascript function can then do something with that data. So you do need to have some javascript skills. The xmlHttpPost function I use I found on O'Reilly: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/05/19/xmlhttprequest.html On Jul 21, 2005, at 1:52 AM, balwant singh wrote: Have anybody tried PHP AJAX, may please share your experience. also pls. suggest good link of tutorial on this.

Well, if you've set the encoding to ISO-8859-1 and then output utf-8
characters I would expect them not to display properly. Or am I not
understanding the problem correctly? From what I see, you can either change
the encoding of the page, or use a function like utf8_decode() to transform
utf-8 characters into iso-8859-1 (which, of course, is not always possible).

For the sake of simplicity, I'll only describe 3 classes here, as that is all that is required for you to see my problem. I have a DB class that interacts with the database, a Session class that controls the session with the user, and a User class that stores the information about the logged-in user. I create instances of these classes in the order [DB, Session, User] at request startup. They have to be in this order as the Session and User classes need the database, and the User class needs the session. The User and Session destructors both need the database to write any changed information back to the database, but it seems that the destructors are called in the order that the objects are created, so the database is taken down first. Wouldn't it make more sense for just about all applications to destroy objects in the reverse order that they were created? Is there any way to work around this?

[PHP] GET form method and accessing its value into a cookie
Hi
I have a page which generates 'edit' links (used to edit user details). The
code snippet on the 'list_user.php' page is;
---
$print_rows .=tr class=\stdtablecells\ \n.
td{$details['name']}/td \n.
td{$details['mail']}/td \n.
td{$details['quota']}/td \n.
tda
href=\edit_user.php?user={$user_list[$i]['uid'][0]}\edit/a/td \n.
/tr \n;
---
The line in question really is this one;
a href=\edit_user.php?user={$user_list[$i]['uid'][0]}\edit/a/td \n.
As you can see this creates a link to the 'edit_user.php' page with a GET
parameter generated by a php array.
The 'edit_user.php' page contains this script (before any headers are
generated) which is designed to put the GET value into a cookie;
---
if (! isset($_COOKIE['yhgfluseruid'])) {
$useruid = $_REQUEST['user'];
setcookie('yhgfluseruid', $useruid);
}
---
What happens when actually viewing the pages in a browser, is that the url
is generated (seemingly) correctly, for example;
http://localhost/emailadmin/src/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The only problem is the $user variable doesn't seem to read the cookie, or
the cookie doesn't get generated before the rest of the page is generated
and the users details are blank. BUT if I refresh the page, everything is
fine. Also, if I go back to the 'list_user.php' page, and try editing a
different user, although the URL suggests that it's passing the correct
parameters, I end up seeing the details of the previous user?
Help please (sorry for the long description - I am just trying to be
accurate)

Re: [PHP] AJAX PHP
I've been tinkering with AJAX for a few weeks now. I've used it in a simple user registration system form. Instead of submitting a desired username and waiting for a round trip to the server to verify that the username is not already in use, I used AJAX to perform the DB query in the background without a browser refresh. It is pretty slick, using a little CSS and javascript the user gets instant notification (onblur) that their selected username is already in use or is verified and okay before submitting the rest of the form. I implemented this with XML, however, only to learn, not because the functionality required it. I've also accumulated some links to resources: http://www.ajaxmatters.com http://www.ajaxpatterns.org http://adaptivepath.com/publications/essays/archives/000385.php (This is the essay that coined the term 'AJAX') http://www.ajaxian.com The above links all have good collections of links to further resources.

Re: [PHP] GET form method and accessing its value into a cookie
Cookies will not become visible until the next loading of a page. Assign
the data to a variable at the same time it is assigned to a cookie and call
the variable to make the data visible on the first page.
Cookies must be deleted with the same parameters as they were set with.
Check you new data against the contents of the cookie, if they are
different, delete the cookie and assign the new cookie (also remember to
assign to the first page variable).

Re: [PHP] db insert question
Thanks for your reply, your example demonstrates what i was doing but
does that do a MySQL query for every piece of data?
So 20 form values would be 20 db queries, would that not consume a lot
of resources?
Is their another way?
Thanks,

As far as I know, there is no way to insert 20 unique rows of data into a
MySQL table without executing 20 queries. Maybe someone else here does(?).
Perhaps drop a note over on the MySQL list, since this is really more an SQL
question than PHP. Sorry I couldn't help.

Interesting! Consulting the manual, I see that you are correct. So the OP
would do something like:
$sql=insert into foo values ;
foreach($formdata as $thisdata){
$sql.=($thisdata,...,...,...),;
}
$result=mysql_query($sql);
(of course the above code is broken, because it would leave an extra comma
at the end, but this is the general idea, no?)

Not necessarily. If you use a prepared statement first, then execute it,
you'll get excellent performance. If you're interested in prepared
statements, or don't know what they are, look at DB abstraction layers
like PEAR::DB, PEAR:MDB(2), and ADODB -- they utilize them. As an
example:
$sql = INSERT INTO someTable(field1, field2, ...) VALUES (?, ?, ...);
$insert = $db-prepare($sql);
foreach ($data as $vals) {
$db-execute($insert, $vals); // Assuming each element of $data
// is an array of values
}
Basically, you prepare a SQL statement that contains placeholders for
the values. Then when executing the statement, you pass an array of
values equal to the number of placeholders in the statement. The
benefits are (a) speed, and (b) security. Regarding (b), the values are
quoted in a proper format for your RDBMS, so you don't need to worry
about escaping each and every value -- the DB abstraction layer and/or
the RDBMS takes care of it for you.
Is their another way?
Yes -- Build your SQL first, in the following format:
INSERT INTO someTable(field1, field2, ...) VALUES
('rec1Field1', 'rec1Field2', ...),
('rec2Field1', 'rec2Field2', ...),
('rec3Field1', 'rec3Field2', ...);
And some PHP code that could help create this:
// Beginning of SQL
$sql = INSERT INTO someTable(field1, field2, ...) VALUES ;
// Loop through records to insert
$INS = array();
foreach ($data as $values) {
$final = array();
// Loop through each value in the record and quote it
foreach ($values as $val) {
$final[] = sprintf('%s', mysql_real_escape_string($val));
}
// Join them with commas and enclose all in ()
$INS[] = '(' . implode(',', $final) . ')';
}
// Finally, join all the records with commas, and end the SQL with a
// semicolon
$sql .= implode(',', $INS) . ';';
$result = mysql_query($sql);
HTH...

Vaguely, yes. The trick here is that any single failure in one of the columns
can leave you with inconsistent data. Thus, use this with InnoDB table and
transactions enabled so you can rollback on failure :)
For sake of correctness, the data should be checked for validity first. Then,
assuming that all of the form data is going into the same table as the same
fields, you could push ($variable1, $variable2) into an array, and
join(',', $that_array)
Presto, no extra comma. Should use the mysql escape stuff too if not using an
abstraction layer that deals with it for you.

[PHP] iconv trouble on OS X
I wrote this question then found out where the problem was, so this
is just for the archives...
==
I've compiled PHP 5.0.4 successfully on OS X 10.4.2, but I'm getting
a weird problem with iconv. I specified it in my configure line:
--with-iconv
and it seems to pick it up ok while configuring:
checking for iconv support... yes
checking for libiconv in -liconv... yes
checking if iconv is Konstantin Chuguev's... no
checking if iconv supports errno... yes
It builds OK too. php thinks that the iconv extension is there:
php -m|grep iconv
iconv
The entry in phpinfo() is rather suspicious:
iconv support = enabled
iconv implementation = unknown
iconv library version = unknown
Then in one script I get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function iconv()
and function_exists('iconv') returns false.
I've also tried specifying --with-iconv=/sw (i.e. using
libiconv-1.9.2-11 from fink), but I get the same results.
The solution lies in the user notes for iconv() where someone mentions:
elk at NOSPAMmodel-fx dot com
26-Jul-2002 04:07
If you use the libiconv library instead of the libc's iconv support,
don't forget to use libiconv() instead of iconv()
And it really is as simple as that - just substitute libiconv() for
iconv() - it seems that libiconv is the default on OS X. I think this
is a terrible implementation (clearly PHP itself is confused by it, 3
years on from this note) and I've no idea why it was done that way,
but now at least someone can find out easily.

When I try this code:

$var_global = stuff;
function f1() {
global $var_global;
This is equivalent to creating a $var_global which is local to the function,
and making it be a reference to the global $var_global -- effectively:
$var_global = $GLOBALS['var_global'];
$var_local = array(1,2);
$var_global = $var_local;
But this assigns a new reference to $var_local to the (local) $var_global,
thus breaking the reference to the (global) $var_global -- so the (global)
$var_global isn't changed by this assignment.
To do what you're trying to do, you should make use of the $GLOBALS
superglobal:
$GLOBALS['var_global'] = $var_local;
Or may I suggest, what I am currently doing (in a much more complex code)
$var_global = $var_local;

[PHP] gzuncompress mysql blob field
Heya guys, I've ran into a problem that I just can't seem to get around.

Anyways, all works fine, until the blob size reaches about 64kb, then my script (and box) just completely crap out -- the page eventually gets forwarded to a page cannot be found after a while (and this is even if I have set my max_execution_time to like 5 seconds). Ok, so I theorized it may be a memory consumption problem, so I played around with the memory_limit directive in upwards of 100mg, and I still get the problem. It's very wierd.. it works just fine if the blob size is below 64kb, but just craps out when it is =. Oh yeah, xp box.

[PHP] Loading dynamic extension
Hi, ive got two hard questions for you guys.
1. I'm trying to load an extension dynamically using DL():
if(!extension_loaded('gtk')){ dl('php_gtk.'.PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX); }
The problem with this is that i can't load the extension correctly since
the software is running from a USBKEY. These removable medias do not
necessarely always have the same drive letter and i can't ask people to
copy the software on their machine since the software will write back on
the key at a specific location.
2. Further more, i can't seem to find a way to know from which path or
drive my usbkey is operating. There is maybe something i missed
somewhere that's why im asking. Anyone ever found something about the
CLI current run path in $_ENV or $_SERVER var?

Short answer:
$isStatic = !(isset($this) get_class($this) == __CLASS__);
HTH
S
In the case of his example this will not work, as the static function
call is coming from the same class,
which probably doesn't happen in real code, but this isn't a complete
solution(I don't know that there
is one).
But to answer the other question:
does anyone know why it is not good to let one function handle
both methods of calling (static and not static) as in PHP 5 you will get
notices if called wrong
A static method is a static method. You should call it statically. It
has no meaning as an instance
method, because the method returns the same results regardless of object
state. So, even if you
have an instance of an object, you should still call the method
statically. Then again, it is a notice,
which could safely be ignored(although I don't like to).
but PHP doesnt support multiple
function-definitions like:
class foo
{
static function bar()
{
return ANY_DEFAULT_VALUE;
}
function bar()
{
return $this-value;
}
}
This seems like it might be useful, but I don't know how possible/clean
this is. It would solve your problem
though.
I imagine someone out there has something to say about how this should
be done. I assume you want to allow
users of the class to use the class statically, and use default values,
or use an instance of the class to change
defaults. What is the best way to get this done. And I think I'll move
this reply to php-generals instead of here.

[PHP] Help with a home-grown function
Hello, all -
I've been looking around for a function that would tell me if a $value
in a $key=$value array was empty, and I could not find one. So I
decided to make my own. Even if I am re-inventing the wheel, I thought
that the practice might be good for me.
However, my function doesn't *quite* work, and I'm having a difficult
time finding out why. The code is as follows:
function findMissingVals($workingArray) {
$newcount = count($workingArray);
for ($i = 0; $i = $newcount; $i++) {
if (empty($workingArray['$i'])) {
return 1;
}
}
}
So it takes in $workingArray as an array, runs a loop, checks $i, yada
yada. The thing is, that sometimes the function does not return 1, even
when it should.
I was hoping some experienced eyes could take a gander at this and give
me some pointers.
Thanks!

PHP doesn't eval code in single-quotes, so what you want to do is
simply:
if (empty($workingArray[$i])) {

With the single-quotes, it's looking for the string $i as a key.

That's because your function always returns true. If it finds a missing
value it returns true. If it doesn't find a missing value it returns
true. Because of this the true code block is always executed.
You should do this instead:
function hasMissingVals($input)
{
// make sure we've been passed an array with values
if(is_array($input) (count($input) 0))
{
foreach($input as $v)
{
if(empty($v))
{
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
This way your function will always return false unless it finds a
missing value in which case it will return true.
As you can see I changed the name slightly from 'findMissingVals()' to
'hasMissingVals()' since your function is not actually finding any
missing values. Finding suggests that your function will return data
based on the location of the missing value which it does not do.
if (findMissingVals($vars)) {
if (!$var1) { ? hi1 ? };
if (!$var2) { ? hi2 ? };
if (!$var3) { ? hi3 ? };
if (!$var4) { ? hi4 ? };
if (!$var5) { ? hi5 ? };
if (!$var6) { ? hi6 ? };
} else {
echo hi;
}
1. Where are $var1, $var2, $var3, etc. coming from? I think you mean to
write $var[1], $var[2], $var[3], etc.?
2. It will be a good idea to get out of the habit of breaking in and out
of PHP like that. Instead just do: echo 'hi1';
You'll have problems down the road with modifying the headers (cookies,
redirects, content-type, etc.) if you break in and out.
Hope this helps,
Chris.

if(empty($v))
{
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
This way your function will always return false unless it finds a
missing value in which case it will return true.
As you can see I changed the name slightly from 'findMissingVals()' to
'hasMissingVals()' since your function is not actually finding any
missing values. Finding suggests that your function will return data
based on the location of the missing value which it does not do.
if (findMissingVals($vars)) {
if (!$var1) { ? hi1 ? };
if (!$var2) { ? hi2 ? };
if (!$var3) { ? hi3 ? };
if (!$var4) { ? hi4 ? };
if (!$var5) { ? hi5 ? };
if (!$var6) { ? hi6 ? };
} else {
echo hi;
}
1. Where are $var1, $var2, $var3, etc. coming from? I think you mean to
write $var[1], $var[2], $var[3], etc.?
2. It will be a good idea to get out of the habit of breaking in and out
of PHP like that. Instead just do: echo 'hi1';
You'll have problems down the road with modifying the headers (cookies,
redirects, content-type, etc.) if you break in and out.
Hope this helps,
Chris.
Hello, Chris -
I see what you're saying about always returning true. I really
understand now. I'd just like to take a minute to tell you thanks for
the help.
Thanks!

I guess this is my day to be dense, but I don't really understand the question. One part I think I understand is that you don't see the benefit to using the DATE datatype to store your dates. The DATE datatype allows you to do many things with dates that would be difficult storing them as integers. For instance, what would you have to do to get the day of the week for a day 66 days prior to the stored date? If your date was stored in a DATE field, all you would have to do is: $result=mysql_query(SELECT DATE_FORMAT(DATE_SUB(`stored_date`, interval 66 days) ,%W) from tablename where...); $row=mysql_fetch_row($result); echo The day if the week is .$row[0]; ...if your dates are stored in integer fields, how would you easily come about a similar result?

[PHP] RE: [SPAM 6.0] [PHP] Session help!?
The biggest gotcha that I have ran into concerning sessions is this: If your client's browser is I.E. and the domain is named with _(underscores), -(dashes), etc. I.E. discards the session and starts a new one. I don't know if this is fixed under SP2. Example: a domain name http://my-domain.com will cause I.E. to lose sessions; however, there is a way around this if your are developing this for an internal website, you can simply add a host file record to utilize the actual IP.

I can't think of a function that does this, but something like this
should work. Not sure how efficient it is to constantly call substr()
on the string. Might be better to split it up into an array to start
with. Or there might be a get character at function, but I don't see
it right now...
$word = WebApplication;
$length = strlen($word);

$a = substr($word, $i - 1, 1);
$b = substr($word, $i, 1);
if ( ($a = 'a' $a = 'z' $b = 'A' $b = 'Z')
|| ($a = 'A' $a = 'Z' $b = 'a' $b = 'z') ) {
// case change at $i which for $word would equal 1 (not 2)

[PHP] More toroughly checking a script before execution
Hi, is there a way to have a more torough checking of PHP code before executing? I can't remember the number of times when I try to read a variable which hasn't assigned a value yet. This increases as projects are getting bigger and more files are used. I know that due it's loosely typed nature, it wouldn't be possible to detect things like this: $foo = bar; $$foo = baz; echo $bar; but that would be okay with me. At least it should catch things like _before_ starting execution: - read variables not assigned a value before - verify that a function/method is actually defined I'm willing to accept a longer time PHP starting up because of this. I'm seeing it's main usefulness when using with the cli application to have it ran on code before it goes live or something. This would speed up testing dramatically, as it wouldn't be necessary to go through all test paths just to realize that a function/method call was misspelled or so. Basically it's like the compiling stage done in e.g. Java (oh no, did I wrote the J.. word? ;). I'm also aware that certain modern IDEs provide lookup features/introspecton at least for function/methods, but unfortunatley it's not everyones favourite. thanks for any pointers, - Markus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Rasmus' 30 second AJAX Tutorial - [was Re: [PHP] AJAX PHP]
I find a lot of this AJAX stuff a bit of a hype. Lots of people have
been using similar things long before it became AJAX. And it really
isn't as complicated as a lot of people make it out to be. Here is a
simple example from one of my apps. First the Javascript:
function createRequestObject() {
var ro;
var browser = navigator.appName;
if(browser == Microsoft Internet Explorer){
ro = new ActiveXObject(Microsoft.XMLHTTP);
}else{
ro = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
return ro;
}
var http = createRequestObject();
function sndReq(action) {
http.open('get', 'rpc.php?action='+action);
http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse;
http.send(null);
}
function handleResponse() {
if(http.readyState == 4){
var response = http.responseText;
var update = new Array();
if(response.indexOf('|' != -1)) {
update = response.split('|');
document.getElementById(update[0]).innerHTML = update[1];
}
}
}
This creates a request object along with a send request and handle
response function. So to actually use it, you could include this js in
your page. Then to make one of these backend requests you would tie it
to something. Like an onclick event or a straight href like this:
a href=javascript:sndReq('foo')[foo]/a
That means that when someone clicks on that link what actually happens
is that a backend request to rpc.php?action=foo will be sent.
In rpc.php you might have something like this:
switch($_REQUEST['action']) {
case 'foo':
/* do something */
echo foo|foo done;
break;
...
}
Now, look at handleResponse. It parses the foo|foo done string and
splits it on the '|' and uses whatever is before the '|' as the dom
element id in your page and the part after as the new innerHTML of that
element. That means if you have a div tag like this in your page:
div id=foo
/div
Once you click on that link, that will dynamically be changed to:
div id=foo
foo done
/div
That's all there is to it. Everything else is just building on top of
this. Replacing my simple response id|text syntax with a richer XML
format and makine the request much more complicated as well. Before you
blindly install large AJAX libraries, have a go at rolling your own
functionality so you know exactly how it works and you only make it as
complicated as you need. Often you don't need much more than what I
have shown here.
Expanding this approach a bit to send multiple parameters in the
request, for example, would be really simple. Something like:
function sndReqArg(action,arg) {
http.open('get', 'rpc.php?action='+action+'arg='+arg);
http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse;
http.send(null);
}
And your handleResponse can easily be expanded to do much more
interesting things than just replacing the contents of a div.

At least for your variable access stuff assuming your test case actually hits that part of the code. If you are talking about complete code coverage letting you catch any such mistyped variables or functions, that is simply impossible to do at that level because variables and function names can be defined at runtime. Just because a function doesn't exist at compile time doesn't mean that it won't be created before the call to it at runtime. And it doesn't need to be as complicated as you make it out to be with your variable variable example. A simple conditional include completely changes the nature of everything at runtime. What you really need is to create decent regression tests and use a code coverage tool to make sure your tests cover your code well. Xdebug can do the code coverage check for you. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I doubt that the prepared statements give much performance boost for only 20 queries, but, again, time it on YOUR computer. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Content Header

Re: [PHP] Question about apache-php concurrent process control
I now encounter a problem with flow control of my program with PHP. This is very crucial to the design of a pretty big project. This is what I want to do in the program: ?php do_A(); header(Location: .$result_of_do_A); do_B(); ? Since it takes do_B() quite a while to finish, so I want the http client get the partial result from do_A() by redirect a page to them before start do_B(). But it seems that the redirection will only occure after the entire php program finishes, i.e., after do_B(). I sent http request through browser, curl comman line with -N (no buffer) option and with a perl LWP program I wrote. All of them suggest that header(), although is put before do_B() in code, gets executed only after all the php code finished. I add flush() after header() too, but no work. My question is: Is there any way that I can return to the client though http response and then continue my progress with my program? Thank you very much for your kindly help. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This is what I want to do in the program: ?php do_A(); header(Location: .$result_of_do_A); Depending on the buffering options in php.ini and/or Apache, this may or may not just end your program, as I understand it. Once you send the Location header, everything else is irrelevant, or at least not reliable. You could do: echo $result_of_do_A; flush(); and the user will see what happened with A, while waiting for B. do_B(); ? Since it takes do_B() quite a while to finish, so I want the http client get the partial result from do_A() by redirect a page to them before start do_B().

All of them suggest that header(), although is put before do_B() in code, gets executed only after all the php code finished. I add flush() after header() too, but no work. If that is what you are seeing happen, you probably have output buffering turned on The Location: header is acted upon by the BROWSER, not by PHP, not by your server. The BROWSER sees that header and then jumps to somewhere else. My question is: Is there any way that I can return to the client though http response and then continue my progress with my program? You could also look into the pcntl stuff to fork() or, depending on various settings, you might get: exec(do_B() ); to get B to happen in the background. With all that said: As a general rule, when I found myself doing this kind of stuff, I later realized that I hadn't really designed my application very well for an end-user experience. If it takes THAT long to finish B, then you're probably MUCH better off putting something in a ToDo List in your database, and doing B later in a cron job. Then notify the user through email or some kind of status display that they will see on your site frequently when B is done NEVER make the user sit around waiting for your server. Human time is far far far too precious (and expensive!) to waste it sitting around doing nothing useful waiting for your program to finish. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

On a controlled closed environment, there's a good chance that it's an OK idea (and perhaps a good idea).

Re: [PHP] PHP and MySQL and resouce limits
On Wed, July 20, 2005 5:22 pm, John Hinton said: I don't get it... I have been upping my memory limit for PHP. 32megs now... and am making calls to a database on a different server. I see the loads run up on the other server as it cruches the numbers.. and PHP is in the process of creating a single little page with about 40 numbers on it, from these returns. Now, I do know I'm crunching a LOT of data in this instance, but it seems like MySQL is doing the work and that PHP shouldn't be hitting 32 my 32meg wall. Running the same query on a smaller dataset doesn't hit this limit, so I know it's not a function of the PHP code itself. So, I must be missing something, why is PHP somehow tied to the work MySQL is doing? As in memory usage seems that MySQL should be simply sending PHP the returns on its commands... hm Print out the query you are sending off to MySQL. Inspect it carefully. Use the mysql monitor to run it. Can MySQL, without PHP in the picture, run that query in practical time/memory constraints? How many rows does it actually return? How much data in each row? Dollars to doughnuts sez your query isn't doing what you think it's doing, and it's returning *WAY* more rows than you think, and poor PHP is trying to process them all... -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] gloabl reference behavior question?
On Wed, July 20, 2005 3:39 pm, Surendra Singhi said:
Hello,
(1)
When I try this code:
?php
$var_global = stuff;
function f1() {
global $var_global;
$var_local = array(1,2);
$var_global = $var_local;
}
f1();
print_r($var_global);
?
I get the output:
stuff
where as I was expecting junk value or null.
My question is that, because the array is created locally and we
pass it by reference (without copying) so on the exit of function, its
value
is lost, but how does the global variable gets back its old value?
Is it something which is not defined by the PHP language reference and is
implementation specific? And in this case instead of giving the global
variable some junk value or null value, the implementation decides to
store
the old values?
PHP is not C.
The operator is not, as far as I know, defined for an array assignment
operation.
True, you can use in the parameter list in some versions to keep PHP
from copying the whole array. But that does not legitimatize what you are
doing, I don't think.
I could be 100% wrong. I've never even *TRIED* to use a reference to an
array because I simply don't want to write code that confusing in the
first place.
That's why I use PHP to build web pages instead of C.
YMMV

[PHP] System specific information gathering
Hello, I have a question on how to get Server side system specific information via PHP, or just general direction on how to parse some of the information found in /proc For example, I want to be able to display the system uptime.. number of users logged in, and load average. In the shell, I just do uptime, and it gives me all that information [EMAIL PROTECTED] proc]$ uptime 00:47:42 up 15 days, 7:07, 7 users, load average: 0.44, 0.41, 0.39 Now i can always do a split on , and then based on that parse out the info, or I could cat /proc/uptime and /proc/loadavg For the number of users I can do w -h | wc -l I can call all these commands via the system() function, but my question is, is there a better way of obtaining such info ? http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.info.php doesn't seem to offer much, except for the php_uname() function. I just want to be able to display system information like uptime, on some of my web pages.
