So if you have:
Test 1
Test 2
You want:
$test1 = "Test 1";
$test2 = "Test 2";
??
preg_match_all('%value=["\']*([^"\'>]+?)["\']*\s*>(.*)%isU', $text, $matches);
That will give you an array that looks like this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => Test 1
[1] => Test 2
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => test1
[1] => test2
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => Test 1
[1] => Test 2
)
)
From there you should be able to work out what to do..

I showed where the problem is and after var_dump all I get is NULL. I just sent the code cause I thought it would be easier to see it in context, not to make somebody trawl trough it. If its not an array how to find out what it is? What can I do about it? Thanks. Rodrigo

part of PHP's popularity is that while it shares a lot of functions with

Stuff like this is a bug in your code. It has nothing to do with purism:
function inc_arg(&$arg) {
$arg++;
}
inc_arg(3);
You have specifically defined your function to modify the argument yet
you pass it something that has no storage and thus there is no way to
use that modification. For the most part I agree that we need to keep
the language as flexible and forgiving as possible, but where we are
able to detect code that obviously doesn't do what the programmer
intended, it is tremendously helpful to get a descriptive error.
As far as functions returning references, you are right that returning a
literal there sometimes makes sense, but this can also hide a bug which
is why this only throws a notice.
You could argue that we could try to look ahead and see what is actually
done with the passed argument to see if it is modified, or that we could
try to figure out whether the returned reference is actually used as
such, but that is technically extremely difficult given the way things
work internally. So given the choice between ignoring extremely
suspicious code like this and throwing an error/warning, I'd rather be
told about it and in the edge cases where I really do want the
equivalent of a NOP in my code, it isn't that hard to force it by adding
a dummy storage variable along with a comment explaining why you need to
do that.

Hi All I am in the process of cleaning up an application that was left half finished. I am fairly new to PHP so I am seeking the wisdom of the community to help with a little problem. In many cases I need to build command strings to be sent to a backend system. The strings have to contain a couple of non ascii characters. I have no problem with the following in a script $RM="\xFF"; Then using the variable works fine within that chunk of php code. What I would like to do is place all of the extended ascii characters in one of the inc files and just use these in various scripts throughout the application. When I try what I get is a test representation rather than the actual ascii code. Ie I get \xFF instead of the ascii character ÿ Is there any way to actually do this in php?

There are critical aspects of any OO language that are absolutely necessary in OOD, but then there are also sugary parts that are just "nice to have" :) IMHO, it's wise to wait until new features completely stabilize before jumping on them. For instance my framework for all intents and purposes requires replacement services to adhere to a specific set of methods when overriding the default server object... in this way an interface is virtual, and never explicit. Some thing I find amusing in retrospect, is that when PHP4 came out I couldn't migrate to it fast enough, PHP3 just couldn't cut it in comparison to PHP4. But looking at PHP5 I feel (and I think others feel similarly) that I can easily wait till PHP6 comes out. Recently I've been rewarded with my patience... PHP5 now accepts the var statement again to declare class properties without generating a warning... if I had gone and updated my code to use public/private I'd have wasted my time :) > at every BC breaking turn in the php5 road (since beta3) I have managed to > refactor my codebase without actually changing too much or having break the > functionality the codebase offer[s|ed] - such refactoring does cost time > though in terms of having to think carefully about how to proceed and the > testing involved in making sure things still work as intended ... > > > > > One of my biggest peeves about stuff changed that worked but wasn't > > necessarily purist... not letting values be passed to functions > > expecting a reference parameter.

Officially SPL is part of PHP. It provides a standard interface for

try{
foreach ( new DirectoryIterator('./') as $Item )

}
}
catch(Exception $e){

}
So, of all the things that COULD go wrong, we just assume it's "No
files Found"???
I don't think I'll ever learn to like SPL or try/catch...
12 months ago you wouldn't be seen dead near an install of php5 ;-)
on a more serious note Kevins uber simple try/catch block is not indicative
of the crapness of exceptions per se - besides it's already better handling than
most noobs have in there code (not to say that Kevin is a noob because I can't
judge that based on just this - besides we were all noobs once)
to give a pseudo example:
try {
// do stuff with DirectoryIterator
}
catch (SomeKindOfDirectoryIteratorRelatedException $e) {
// empty dir?
}
catch (SomeOtherKindOfDirectoryIteratorRelatedException $e) {
// file system permissions failure?
}
catch (YetAnotherKindOfDirectoryIteratorRelatedException $e) {
// dir doesn't exist
}
catch (Exception $e) {
// failsafe/fallback catch for when we don't have a clue what went wrong
}
so you could 'try' to like it, it will probably 'catch' on regardless

So, of all the things that COULD go wrong, we just assume it's "No
files Found"???
I don't think I'll ever learn to like SPL or try/catch...

Tad different, but that will definitely work as well. It's a long shot, but
just make sure that filenames don't have a "#" in them.

Re: [PHP] Checkbox & Hidden Field to Delete Row - SOLVED
Ave,
I spent 3 hours trying to find or develop a solution for this problem... And
believe it or not, within 3 minutes of sending the problem to the mailing
list, I actually generated a solution!! Ray, you’re spot on with what’s
actually happening, but this is what I did to resolve it...
Here’s my code to generate the Dynamic Row with Checkboxes:
I completely eliminated the Hidden field... Instead, added the value of both
the Row ID & the Filename to the checkbox, with a seperator “#”.
Here’s my code to delete the Row & Corresponding File:
foreach($thisID AS $value) {
$pieces = explode("#", $value);
$sql = "DELETE FROM file WHERE ID='$pieces[0]'";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Fatal Error: ".mysql_error());
$thefile = "$pieces[1]";
unlink($thefile);
}
As you can see, I basically explode the Array on the “#” seperator, and
delete the Row & File. Is working like a charm!!

Hidden fields differ, in that they ALWAYS send their data. This is probably causing a mis-match between the two arrays.

[PHP] Checkbox & Hidden Field to Delete Row
Ave, I¹m stuck on a problem here. I have a file manager kind of application and I¹m trying to add the functionality to delete multiple files. Basically, there¹s a bunch of rows generated dynamically. Each row has a checkbox for ³Delete² option, and a hidden field which contains the name of the File associated with the record. If a user checks a checkbox to delete certain rows, it should be able to delete those rows from mySQL as well as delete the files associated with that record. I created both the checkboxes & the hidden fields to be Arrays. I run a loop to delete all rows (based on ID¹s) where the checkbox was Checked. It does that part fine... The problem is linking the Filename array to the Checkbox Array. It deletes the first two files uploaded no matter what rows are checked. Basically, the Filename array is not associating with the Checkbox array. So if a person checks the 3rd and 5th checkbox... The 3rd & 5th row is deleted from mySQL, but the 1st and 2nd file is deleted, not the 3rd & 5th. Following is my code to generate the checkboxes & hidden fields...

I get this sometimes, it often means I have overlooked something: Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: AreaAgendaItem::$extraFields EVERYWHERE in php an unset var causes an E_NOTICE, but if you dare to use OO then all of a sudden the OO nuthouse runs out to put a straight jacket on you, and it's getting worse and worse. (not that this example is new) why don't the purists get that we don't need to be told at every step what is correct and what is not?? but merely to be stopped from doing things that are dangerous (as in liable to cause a segfault). eight months ago (roughly) I was told repeatedly that static interface methods were WRONG and so I wouldn't be allowed to user static interface methods anymore (fix my code was the gruff reply) - a few weeks ago static interface methods were included in php5.2(?) as a work around for some other OO deficiency (I can't remember the details but it was Derick Rethans that was suffering from whatever straight jaket had just been introduced).

Is there something with this version of PHP that could be effecting the mail

the mail function, but not much detail on why the changes were necessary.
Just wondering if I have come across an old bug or something.
I've already asked my ISP to upgrade this server so if that's the solution
its on its way to being fixed. Is there anything else that could be wrong?
Ask the isp if they have mail throttling set up - apart from that
you'll need to work with them to get this fixed. They can access the
mail logs..

Re: [PHP] What would cause this?
Here's what you can do: Have a timestamp of the last e-mail stored on a file. If time() - that timestamp < 600 (10 minutes) then don't send the e-mail. When sending it, do this $server_array = print_r($_SERVER, true); and use the $server_array variable to obtain some info regarding the client that's causing the requests. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi there,
I do work on following regex:
^(.*)_a[0-9](.*).htm$
This should be valid for "test_a9393.htm", but not for "9393.htm" as
ther is no leading _a infront of the number.
Unfortunatelly this also works for the 9393.htm file. Can somebody give
me a hint why the regex also is true for text that does not start with
_a infront of the number?
Thank you for any help,

How about this:
(\w)+(_a){1}(\w)+\.htm$
Worked for me :)

Try this:
^(.*)(_a{1})(\d+).htm$
in your regex you are looking for any instance of _, a OR a sequence of
numbers.
I think this will search for zero or more characters, one instance of _a,
then one or more numbers, then .htm.
Hi,
unfortunatelly it does not work. But you are right my regex:
^(.*)_a[0-9](.*).htm$ seems to make an OR with _a OR numbers
, but I would like to have an AND.
Any other ideas?

Officially SPL is part of PHP. It provides a standard interface for iterating
over
aggregate objects, eg: array, directory listing, xml, etc...
try{
foreach ( new DirectoryIterator('./') as $Item )
{
echo $Item.'';
}
}
catch(Exception $e){

Re: [PHP] What would cause this?
tedd a écrit : Hi gang: Hi I have a question regarding php and security. My apologies beforehand if this is common knowledge to everyone except me. I have a php application sitting at root level on one of my servers who's sole function is to send me an email whenever it's run. So, whenever I reference this app, it sends me an email -- very simple. However, the app isn't reference or linked anywhere on the site, but it still occasionally runs all by itself. It runs automagically ? My question is -- what's triggering it? did you check your http server log files for this url ? Is the cause a bot of some type? I was told that spiders/bots could only travel links outward from your front page (i.e., index) to all other referenced pages, but could not access things that are not linked -- unless of course they know the name of the app. Some tools try to check from a basic url for several directories or files (/images, /private, etc). So, why does this php app occasionally run? Are there critters that navigate my root without my knowledge? if you wish to limit the access to your script, you can control the IP of the client using $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]. Thanks. tedd but it's not a very good idea to let the script run without any control. you can be quickly flooded by mail from this script if it's called very often during the week-end.
