If you post that data via POST method, use encodeURIComponent() to
encode the string, and then the server-side script can accesses it
directly.

RE: [PHP] Unicode Problem

[Robbert van Andel]

I know it's Unicode because the javascript is encoding it as Unicode (and
it's doing so correctly).  I guess the gist of my question is how to do I do
a reverse.  How do I take %u2022 and get make that display as the bullet
character?

I doubt that MS Word quotes are unicode. And as long as the users are
coping/ pasting between MS products (Word->IE) you're going to have a
hard time deciphering those funny characters. Try to encourage them to
use Firefox, and if possible to use a UTF-8 compliant word processor.
Mine is Kword, but I don't think that's available for Windows.

My prefered way is definitely this one. It's simple really, let me sing
it for you...

"in, out... in, out... shake it all about..." ;)

When adding variable data to strings, by using the in, out (shake it all
about method), the technique is identical whether you are using object
properties, nested array fields, simple variables, functions, constants.
That's right, I said one way fits every last one of them, try that with
your precious interpolation :B Interestingly, it also happens to be the
fasted method from a processor standpoint :)

Rob.

I have a PHP coprocessor embedded in my skull, it's all easy to read...
well as long as the braces are properly formatted anyways *haha* ;)

Good point Dave. But on the wrong side.

By counting all the keystrokes the PHP developers have to type extra
for code like this:
"{{$foo}: {$bar}}"
'{'.$var1.': '.$var2.'}'
etc.

vs. such code
"\{$foo: $bar}"

and actually not accounting for the ease of reading and assimilating

I suggest you bring yourself up to speed on what escaping really means.
Your suggestion under no circumstances escaping.


Actually, PHP Documentation does mention it:
"Since you can't escape '{', this syntax"

See here(thanks go John Wells for posting about it):

Now you may go on a rampage about what escaping means, but honestly, I

Bingo. That is what I am trying to do. But I am not allowed since there

Point well taken Richard, thanks.

I've always been curious, iIs there a point in which adding some

[PHP] Re: PHP5 || Catch Error & Send POST Vars...

[sit1way]

Hey all.

Loving Try Catch error handling in PHP5!

Got a problem though:

I'd like to catch errors and send POST vars to my error display page.

So:

try {
$r = new query($sql);

if(!$r) {
 throw new Exception($err);
}
}
catch (Exception $e) {
$this->err_msg = $e->getMessage();

/* somehow kick user to error display screen with POST vars */
?
}

Thought about using CURL(), but that won't kick the user to the error 
screen.

Any ideas?

TIA,

[PHP] Unicode Problem

I have a webpage that allows users to post news stories for their department.

Hi Richard,

Thank you so much for your answer.

dbInsert.php is in /var/www/html/classes while config.inc.php is in

With your code, the file is always searched in /var/www/html/classes and
not in /var/www/html

I suspect that only a handful *DO* encounter it.

Try using Firefox and see if you get a better idea of what's going
wrong by watching the LiveHTTPHeaders extension output.

Also try a form that does NOT have file upload, but IS POST.
And try a GET form and a form that has no file upload but has the
enctype as if it was file upload.

If you can narrow it down like that, you may find a setting in
httpd.conf for the SSL that is the key.

[PHP] RE:[PHP] Client Computer Registration

[Rahul S. Johari]

Exactly!
This is where I'd like to bring focus back on what it really was. Neither is
keybank.com allowing access to a 'registered' computer simply because it's
registered, nor is it laying a file, key or id certificate on the client's
machine to enable it to login. As Wesley pointed out, they are just adding
an extra layer of authentication, which in all honesty may not do much but
just identify which system the client logged on last from (for the purpose
of tracing a transaction) But it's not creating any vulnerabilities
either, at least in my opinion.

I had meaning to clarify this. I wasn't ask to install any certificate / key
/ software or file on my system by the bank. So they are definitely not
using any such method which requires such kind of an authentication.

I thought they are mapping to the MAC Address or some Hardware Component,
but as pointed out, that is pretty impossible or requires ActiveX or
something, well then that's not happening either because I didn't get any
ActiveX notification or anything.

Basically I have to login using my Username and password and then I have to
register the system and give it a label (like Home, Wife's Computer, etc).
But every time I login, be it from any computer, pre-registered or not, I
have to always use my username & password. There is no automatic login or
any such thing. 

@Kristen ... No you're not missing anything. That's exactly how it is.

@Joe... Thanks. Yes I do also believe they are just using Cookies.

@Bruce... Yes I've definitely heard about the kind of security you're
referring to, where the client is required to download App and it
communicates with the server. But I guess that's not what Keybank.com is
doing. 

Considering that they are more then likely using cookies, I'm probably not
going to implement this in my application for now... And possibly look at
some other alternates.

Thanks.

My fault.

Somehow we got fixated on the idea that registering the computer
bypassed login.

Re: [PHP] need loop help

[Richard Lynch]

Change ${$fields[$j]} to $_POST[$fields[$j]] everywhere?

Or you could make the whole thing a lot more readable:

foreach($fields as $field){
  $data[$field] = isset($_POST['field']) && $_POST['field'] == 'on' ?
1 : 0;
}

Yes.

Their claim is that your tests are invalid because your have MULTIPLE
Apache processing swapping the connections around, so they are NOT
idle for 10 seconds.

To prove them wrong, you would need to:
Set up a dev server on a private network with Apache having ONE, and
ONLY ONE, child.
Set the timeout to 10 seconds.
Surf to a test page.
Wait 10 seconds.
See if the connection goes away.

If anybody else on the planet (or off-planet, for that matter,
assuming our astronauts have time to surf to your site) can surf to
the site and keep the connection "alive" by having Apache re-use it,
then it's going to stay alive.

Until somebody installs a new Apache, and doesn't merge in the correct
.ht* settings.

Or Apache gets started by hand in a panic from a crashed server and
reads the wrong httpd.conf file with no .ht* settings to protect your
include files.

Or somebody takes out the .ht* settings, thinking they are just cruft.

Or the .htaccess file you used to protect your PHP files doesn't get
put into the tarball with:
tar cf tarball.tar *
so when you untar it on the new box to install it, your protection is
*GONE*

Or somebody turns .ht* OFF in httpd.conf to wring out more
performance, but your .ht* access controls are in .htaccess in your
directories.

These are only *some* of the rather obvious ways in which having the
files in the webtree but protected by a configuration to Apache can go
wrong.

And these are *ALL* common mistakes that anybody could make without
too much of a stretch in the imagination of "what could go wrong"

In fact, *MOST* of them are things I have actually seen happen...
[Or, to be more precise, things I was dumb enough to do :-)]

If the files aren't in the webtree, somebody has to write a script of
some kind to expose them -- which is still possible, but you have to
work a little harder at it, with little or no concept of Security, to
do that.  And *that* happens sometimes, but then they usually write
such an appallingly bad script that /etc/passwd and everything else on
the entire machine is exposed, which will probably get caught sooner
than a not-quite-right configured Apache that's working "just fine"

Or somebody could come along and ADD a vhost to expose that directory,
effectively putting it IN the webtree...  But, you'd have to work
pretty hard at being smart enough to do a vhost and dumb enough to
expose your include files like that.

It's up to you; But I believe that the .ht* route is too fraught with
potential common mistakes to undo the security.

I'm pretty baffled at this stage. I don't understand why this won't work

Gah!

Now you've made it even HARDER to move the include files out of the
web tree, or wherever is more convenient and safer.

include_path is a much more powerful and flexible construct which will
save you an inordinate amount of trouble if you just figure out how it

Sooner or later, you're gonna need to move/copy this file somewhere
else, and ../ ain't gonna be right.

Here is your ANSWER.

*CHANGE* your include_path to have:
/var/www/html
in it.


All that said, also make sure the file is readable to PHP, as it
should have "worked" I think...

Don't send the correct answer to the browser at all.

And don't tie the "ABCD" to the correct answer.



Your HTML could look like this:
A  cat
B  dog
C  trout
D  bat

To test if the answer is correct:

$q = $_REQUEST['q'];
foreach($q as $index => $a){
  if ($correct[$index] == $a) echo "CORRECT";
  else echo "INCORRECT:  Correct is $correct[$index]";
  echo "\n";
}

You could also use the index to $answer as the value with:
$correct[47] = 16;
 bat
if ($correct[$index] == $a){

and all the other code the same.

I've seen you already had a good answer on the errors in the code so I won't
go on that.  As for OOP, the one design error you have is that you are
asking for an action, not an object.   You want to make SQL inserts, that 
is 
your purpose, and that is an action, which is solved by a statement, not by
an object.   There is no doer.  Objects are what even your English teacher
would call objects while describing a sentence.  You are asking for a verb, 
you don't have a subject, you don't have an object.   Of course you can wrap
an action in a class, but that is bad design.  Classes will usually have
names representing nouns, methods will be verbs, properties adjectives, 
more 
or less, that's OOP for English teachers.

  You're wrong, partially: 

I am sure you could have stated that in a more courteous way.

Re: [PHP] See if this makes any sense

[Richard Lynch]

You do *NOT* want to re-connect to the database on every InsertDB!

That's very expensive in resources/time.

Do that once in the constructor and be done with it for as many
Inserts as you need.

I'm baffled why you'd be rolling your own instead of using an existing
abstraction layer, and even more baffled why you wouldn't just skip
all this and just do:

$query = "insert ...";
$insert = mysql_query($query, $connection);

It's not like you can take your MySQL user-creating queries and
directly map them to ANY other database on the planet...

So what does the DB abstraction and class OOP stuff gain you?

Nada.

Fwd: [PHP] confused about where to load images

[mel]

 I still can't make it work.

This is what I have for the link to my images in navbar.php:

foreach($row as $jobType)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result2,MYSQL_ASSOC);
echo "{$row 
['jobType']}";


}

and this is what I have in my homehome.php (inside the grey frame)  
where I want the images to load:



height="289">



http://www.squareinch.net/homehome.php

if www is my main directory, my file structure is:
www/homehome.php
www/images/...
www/include/header.html
www/include/footer.html
www/include/navbar.php

Thank you

Hello Jeremy and thank you so much for your reply.

I am not sure where to add your code!!

My logos are dynamically generated by the code bellow from a MySql  
database!


foreach($row as $jobType)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result2,MYSQL_ASSOC); /* array variable= 
$row */
echo "{$row['jobType']}  
 ";

Re: [PHP] Re: How to Set Object Array Value || In $this->$name[] Format...

[Richard Lynch]

It may be easier to do:

$array = $this->$name;
$array[] = $value;

Some combination of {} and $this->{$name}[] = $value may also work...

As it stands now, $name[] looks like you are trying to get an index on
$name FIRST, and then use $this-> on that SECOND...

I think.

The whole thing with {} inside a string has always struck me as a
total hack to fix something that wasn't broken in the first place, and
I can never get it to do what I want.

"Don't use it" is my solution.

Indeed, they often are:  you as an object are defined by properties such as 
height, color of your hair and many other adjectives and you have many other

Being more detailed, instead of the color of your hair being a property of 
you as a whole, you might have a property pointing to a hair object (a noun) 
which has a color property.


Other noun properties might not be so helpful in defining you, your friends 
might give a hint of who you are, your clients do not.  But, after all, 
neither does your hair, mine is deserting me and I'm still myself.  So, I 
would say that while adjectives define an object, nouns are relations in

Anyway, I didn't mean this analogy to be complete, nor I mean to teach OOP

Within a quoted string, you can surround variable names with braces for
clarity. This is especially helpful for situations like this, where the
rest of the string interferes with syntax.

A more common example is when a variable name is immediately followed by
an alphabetic character:



When you try this, PHP thinks $animals is the name of the variable. If
you want to be clear that the name of the variable is $animal, you can
use braces:

$string = "I like {$animal}s.";

So, I don't consider this a workaround. It's clean, intuitive syntax for
exactly these types of scenarios.

Hope that helps.

Unneeded clutter, yes.. but I owe you an apology and since the mistake was 
public, I'll make the apology public as well.

I use a 'universal' email checker called ePrompter.  It does text-only, no 
HTML, so it filters out HTML messages, but have never had a problem with it 
filtering out braces, brackets, or any stuff like that.  Even HTML tags used in 
text messages make it through ok I believe.

Anyway, my apology for my screwup.  See what you get for trusting technology?

Either your mail client is broken, or you're misquoting him on purpose:

Using this string:

of course it doesn't work as some might expect.

Thanks Chris, I already emailed him on private 'cause I didn't

To address the original question, a backslash does not escape the brace.
Are you wanting the variables to be evaluated? Here's an example that
demonstrates both:


It occurs to me I wasn't clear enough, although one could have figure
it out.
By using this:
===
$var1 = 11; $var2 = 22;
outputstringfunction("{$var1: $var2}"); //hypothetical code
===
I'd like to have the output as "{11: 22}".
By using "{{$var1}: {$var2}}" it works just fine, but this is a mess,
I can't live with. What I am using now is "{ $var1: $var2}", better.

I guess what I am asking for is more or less uninteresting to most of
the PHP developers(many are just coders, really... for the difference
search the net) that eat up whatever offered, so I might just rest my
case.

So, yes, there is no escaping for { in PHP and that would be it.





Hope that helps.

[PHP] Re: How to Set Object Array Value || In $this->$name[] Format...

[sit1way]

Hey all.

I've got a simple object method that sets object vars based on a passed 
array:

**
function set($arr) {

foreach($arr as $name => $value) {

if(is_array($this->name)) {
  $this->$name[] = $value;
}
else {
  $this->$name = $value;
   }
   }
}
*

Getting a fatal error when I include the file that contains this method:

Fatal error: Cannot use [] for reading in path/to/my/file on line X

Looks like PHP does not like the syntax of "$this->$name[]".

Any clues how to set object array value in a loop?

Re: [PHP] Re: Miserable escape string problem

[tg-php]

Let's look at your original message:

Using this string:
"$var1: $var2"
of course it doesn't work as some might expect.


It works exactly as expected.  Within double-quotes, things like variables get 
evaluated.  In this case $var1 and $var2 will be replaced by their values.  
That's what's "expected".


But why in the name of [whatever, too many to list] doesn't this one 
below work?
"\$var1: $var2"

If \ is an escape character why does it also appear in the string output?
Why does the above \ escape $var1 and not only the ?


In the test I did, it behaves exactly as it's expected to behave.  "\" escapes 
the next character.  Or in the case of some characters, there may be more than 
one after the \ that get interpreted.  For example "\x41" is hexdecimal value 
41.

The \$var1 above is indicating you want to display a "$" literally and not 
interpret it despite being contained within double-quotes.  The "var1" part, 
not having a "$" on the front of it, doesn't get interpretted as anything and 
is output literally as "var1".

Maybe rephrasing the question would help because reading your original message 
doesn't tell me anything except that there's a communication problem.

Unless "\$var1: $var2" does NOT output "$var1: ", then everything is 
functioning as designed and expected.

First up:
http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.double

Again, if you try to escape any other character, the backslash will be

Well Kae, if you reply 3 times let me also reply you once.
What you try to suggest is a workaround. A workaround should
not be needed for such a basic thing. Ever.

The point is, \ should escape only the , just like
it does when you escape a variable like this "\$var1"
In this case, \ only escapes the $.

Even then, why does it output the \?
Try this:
=
$var1 = 1;
$var2 = 2;
print("\$var1: $var2");

=
It will output: \1: 2
Why the \? Isn't it an escape character.


If you try to get me thinking that this is normal behaviour,
let's agree to disagree.

PS: I'd like to see an insider comment on this, eventually
explain the thought behind this implementation.

other languages, you actually *do* have a choice.

Of course I LOVE having the choice, which is why I LOVE PHP.  I get so
much out of POOPH every time I dive into it.


Nope, I caught your joke, and I found it amusing. Though every joke hides a
truth, as I can explain a hello world in oop laughing and being serious at
the same time.


My ex girlfriend always used that line on me.  Drove me mad.  :P

I wish we could continue this over a round of beers at the pub.  I
think we'd have fun batting this back and forth.  :)  And we won't
fill up The List's inbox in the process.

[PHP] Re: Miserable escape string problem

[intra_test]

Well Kae, if you reply 3 times let me also reply you once.
What you try to suggest is a workaround. A workaround should
not be needed for such a basic thing. Ever.

The point is, \ should escape only the {, just like
it does when you escape a variable like this "\$var1"
In this case, \ only escapes the $.

Even then, why does it output the \?
Try this:
=
$var1 = 1;
$var2 = 2;
print("\{$var1: $var2}");

=
It will output: \{1: 2}
Why the \? Isn't it an escape character.


If you try to get me thinking that this is normal behaviour,
let's agree to disagree.

PS: I'd like to see an insider comment on this, eventually
explain the thought behind this implementation.

I'd rather say that we have different concepts of what is simple and
flexible, and both concepts are aceptable.

I know that plenty of people on this list want to have a serious

conversation about OOP for PHP (should we just start using OOPHP as
the new acronym?  or maybe POOPH?  Or... PHOOP?!? Wait, that's not
taking thing seriously...), but I don't think a complex Hello, World
made of Saluters, Salutables, factories and abstractions is taking it
serious.  I think it's exhausting the theory and using various design
patterns for the sake of using design patterns...



It seems we've differents approaches to what is complex and what is simple
(in terms of computer systems). I think being serious about OOP is start
thinking even the simplest of problem from an OOP perspective. I just
exposed the Hello World as an example, off course it seems like using a nuke
to kill a mosquito, but here I'm not thinking about efficiency or efficacy,
it's about training the mind into the OOP methodologies and ways of
thinking. Like training your body, once the mind sees everything in terms of
object abstraction, OOP will be as natural as breathing.

The kind of thinking that OOP it's just a *super* feature of a programming
language that should be used only for highly complex problems, is what I
want to eradicate. OOP doesn't stand neither as a language feature nor as
extra capabilities of a language, on the contrary, it takes some freedom
away from the programmer. I see OOP as a way of thinking and working, that
should be used in the most complex problem and the most simple problem
equally.

But really all of this comes down to the imutable truth about

programming in PHP: there are a *million* ways to skin a cat.  When
you heard "OOP + Hello, World", you thought about people/things
greeting each other.  When I heard it, I thought about an application
outputing a string.  The guy who started that particular thread
probably thought of something totally different.  Who's to say who is
right?



Off course, no one can say which is the right way to solve a problem, and I
will not hide the fact that OOP is just a coder's whim. I'm just inviting
you over to this whim, I can assure you that it's a healthy and beneficial
whim, it's not just a Java hype. At least it's healthier whim than web2.0.

Hey, take my words as mine alone though.  Maybe I was the only one

that got my joke.  It's happened before.



Nope, I caught your joke, and I found it amusing. Though every joke hides a
truth, as I can explain a hello world in oop laughing and being serious at
the same time.

$aPath = str_replace($_REQUEST['QUERY_STRING'], '',

Re: [PHP] Help on objects

[Martin Alterisio]

2006/10/5, Satyam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


I've seen you already had a good answer on the errors in the code so I
won't
go on that.  As for OOP, the one design error you have is that you are
asking for an action, not an object.   You want to make SQL inserts, that
is
your purpose, and that is an action, which is solved by a statement, not
by
an object.   There is no doer.  Objects are what even your English teacher
would call objects while describing a sentence.  You are asking for a
verb,
you don't have a subject, you don't have an object.   Of course you can
wrap
an action in a class, but that is bad design.  Classes will usually have
names representing nouns, methods will be verbs, properties adjectives,
more
or less, that's OOP for English teachers.

Satyam



You're wrong, partially: an action can be an object and it's not necessarily
a bad design, take for example function objects or the program and
statements as objects in lisp-like languages. It's acceptable to make a
class that works as an abstract representation of an sql query. This kind of
classes are used very efficiently in object persistence libraries. What I
agree with you is that it's not right that this class works as the insert
action and not as a representation of the insert operation.

Hi,

I'm trying to lay my hands on PHP OOP, but it's not easy :(
I've read several examples in the web, but cannot transpose to may case.

I'm trying to set a class to make SQL inserts in mysql.

I have the class:
-
table = $table;
  $this->sql   = $sql;

  return(TRUE);
}


  // function that constructs the sql and inserts it into the database
  function InsertDB($sql)
   {

print($sql);
// connect to MySQL
$conn->debug=1;
$conn = &ADONewConnection('mysql');
$conn->PConnect('localhost', 'deckard', 'ble', 'wordlife');

if ($conn->Execute($sql) === false)
print 'error inserting: '.$conn->ErrorMsg().'';

return (TRUE);
   }
}


and the code that calls it:

InsertDB('$sql');

?>


but it's not working ?

Can anyone give me a hand here ?

I've read the manuals, examples, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards,
Deckard

For database interaction, give PDO a chance: http://php.net/pdo
IMO it's cleaner and more efficient than adodb.

Then, I believe what you're trying to make is a query builder. I would break
down the differente parts of an sql query and create abstractions for each
part (some can be reused on different types of queries), then have builder
create the queries abstractions from the different parts.

Re: [PHP] Re: OOP Hello World

Nope.

It wasn´t from the Java mailing list, they're still talking about
hibernate... they'll probably give a damn about this thing anyway, because
they're all oop gurus, what would they care about a hello world?

PHP seems to be getting more and more object oriented, I think it's the

Re: [PHP] Testing people

how are you getting the answers? are they hard coded in html? are you
pulling them from a database? if from a database,  just order them
randomly.. mysql_query("select answers from table where question = '10'
ORDER BY RAND()" );  i think this would randomize all of the results in the
answer colum of the table. then you could use a while loop to display the
answers with radio buttons on your test page. this may not be the best
method and it will not work if your answers are html.

Also, avoid use of the error suppression operator (@). You need to see your
errors.

i may be wrong, but your use of the class to me seems pointless... the reuse
aspect of your database connection could be done with a simple include...
maybe your need is different from what i suspect, being a beginner myself...
here is what i do, and maybe the list can tell me if it would be better or
worse for you...


in a seperate php file define your  database info...




and in the all of the files you would need this connection you would just
include that file...and call the database with the variable $l.
example:



and this could easily be made into a function to allow for multiple
databases, users passwords, ect
if nothing else, at least tell me what you think about my way of doing this.

Done. Go to http://avoir.uwc.ac.za/ and download Kewl.NextGen. Then
install it and use the moduleadmin to install MCQ (multiple Choice
Questions) module. It does everything (and more) that you need.

If you need help, join either (or both) the users list and the
developers list.

[PHP] PHP mentoring

[Dave Goodchild]

Hi all. I am an intermediate php/mysql developer (1 1/2 years experience)

heavy, I am constantly working on projects and looking to improve and feel
mentoring is a great way to learn, of course after a certain level I would
repay the kindness by mentoring another.

[PHP] Template system

[Peter Lauri]

Hi group,

 

I was curious of your experience of Template systems/parsers.

 

For the moment I am using the one available on www.berrewaerts.net/dev.
However, sometimes it feels like the parsing takes to long.

 

I am looking for a fast template parser that supports nested blocks etc to
be able to build more complicated pages structures.

 

Best regards,

Peter Lauri

[PHP] Testing people

[Ryan A]

Hey all,

this is a two part question but I need just one solution:

1. Can you recommend a good testing software where the choices are multiple 
choice (cross a button or radio button) 

if nothing great out there... will make this myself so, on to point 2:

2. I have noticed if you are displaying 4 (a-d) choices and the answer for 
question 10 (for example) is always on choice B it kind of sticks in the head 
and students dont really read everything they just memorize the location of the 
answer (maybe unconsciously) and click that.. i have an idea of making the 
answers "jump around"

for example:
once the correct answer for question 10 is B, if you reload the page, it would 
be C, reload again and its A (chosen randomly...)

(real) example 2:
What has two legs:
a: an elephant
b: a dog
c: a bird
d: a cat

C is the correct answer of course... but if you reload the page:

 a: a bird
b: an elephant
 c: a dog
d: a cat

now A is the correct answer.

I thought of having a hidden text box everytime for each question... but that 
can be quite easily found out... any other suggestions?


Thanks!
Ryan

[PHP] confused about where to load images

[Meline Martirossian]

Hello,

I have just made my first php mini website. I have my header, footer,  
navigation and main pages.

The header, footer and navigation appear as "includes" in my main page.

When I click on my navigation links, I get a new blank browser window  
with the image on it. This is not what I want.


Can you help me with instructing the server to load the image on my  
main page and in the designated area instead of a new blank page?

If you use this code, be sure to use < in stead of < and > in stead
of > or else the spam messages won't be shown.

Otherwise, if you want the entire message changed, it's quicker to do:

if (preg_match('/(http://www.php.net/)

It's recommended (HTTP/1.1 standard requirement) to use a full absolute
path.

header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .
rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/') . '/index2.php');

Properties are very often nouns in addition to adjectives. For instance
a linked list class will undoubtedly have noun objects referring to the
current link, the next link, etc.
