Best part is, they are taking NO FEES from now through 12/31/2007.
So you can use them to receive credit card payments for just over a year 
for FREE.


At 2% + $20 per transaction they needed to do something to get take-up


I've used it, and once account was setup, I was paid within 2-3 days.

Best part is, you can, from inside the webpage, click "Send Invoice" and 
it will ask you for an email addy, and a description of what you are 
billing 'em for.  You don't have to create a full shopping cart system!!!


I'm assuming that this is US only?
An international alternative to Paypal would be nice if only to ensure 
that rates are kept competitive.

[PHP] Re: [PHP-DEV] Making a method called "list" or other "language constructs" names.

[Richard Lynch]

If you want to write a new parser, or even just submit a patch to
"fix" this, you'll probably figure out why you can't use "list" as a
method name in your class...

Or you'll actually submit a useful patch. :-)

Either way, the problem will be solved, eh?
:-) :-) :-)

Zlib is different to zlib-dev/zlib-devel.

The zlib package only contains the binaries and man pages.

The zlib-devel package contains the header files (zlib.h for example) 
you need for compiling against it.

Sort of figured out the MySQL problem, but now I get an error when I run

Check if you have zlib-devel or zlib-dev package installed. You need this to
be able to compile support into other applications.

No idea how you do this on slackware.

Also try specifying the path to zlib:

--with-zlib=/usr for example.

Install the mysql-dev/devel &/or mysql-client packages most likely.

Or point it to the right directory. You need to point it to the base of the
mysql package. Eg if mysql is installed in /usr/local/mysql (so binaries are
under /usr/local/mysql/bin & libs are in
/usr/local/mysql/lib) then

--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

[PHP] Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object

[XeRnOuS ThE]

I am working on a set of PHP framework so to speak, designed to create 
module based community & content management based scripts. I just started 
updating the authentication handlers, which are all PHP 4 classes, and 
reworking a long list of changes. The new version i am coding is near 
completely incompatible with the old version hence it is extremely hard for 
me to compare the new to the old for these errors.


The problem here is PHP is returning the error "Fatal error: Call to a 
member function on a non-object in 
/home/thenubs/public_html/nauth7b/classes/Auth.class.php on line 24"


Out of this I have two questions which are
First, if a fatal error is occurring on line 24, why is it executing line 24 
successfully and returning data?
And second, if there’s a fatal error on line 24, why is line 25 still 
processed?


If anyone sees an alternative way to do what I am doing that might work 
better to solve the script errors then I am more than welcome to it as well 
seeing how my goal is just to get the script to run right. It seems like 
this might just be an error in PHP anyways, but I haven’t found anything on 
the net about similar occurrences yet.


The explanation and all of the code that you should need in order to see 
what’s going in is below.


The output of the entire page is:

SELECT userid, username, password FROM users WHERE username='XeRnOuS' 
Resource id #15
stdClass Object ( [userid] => 1 [username] => XeRnOuS [password] => 
$1$684gXdqL$MwtGhJGa7WkEbQoXe/474. ) 55


Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in 
/home/thenubs/public_html/nauth7b/classes/Auth.class.php on line 24


Finally here is the code for the first part of the Auth class that i am 
working on.



   //set realtive variables for the sql, err, and perms classes 
into the current class for easy access.

   $this->sql = &$sql;
   $this->err = &$err;
   $this->perms = &$perms;
   $this->config = &$GLOBALS['config'];

   $userdat = $sql->fetch_object($sql->query("SELECT userid, 
username, password FROM users WHERE username='XeRnOuS'"));

   echo '';print_r($userdat);  echo '55';

   $this->authSID = session_id();
   $this->userIP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];


   if(!is_object($this->sql)) echo '$sql IS NOT VALID 
OBJECT';
   if(!method_exists($this->sql, 'query')) echo 'QUERY IS 
NOT A VALID METHOD';
   //destroy timed-out login sessions. Standard users will stay 
logged for 1 hour before  session is destroyed
   $time = time() - 60 * 60; #60 minutes * 60 seconds per 
minute = 1 hour ago.


   //if user is logged into the website, update it in 
$this->loggedIN for quick access for class
   //also change $this->userperms from guest permissions to 
$this->userID's specific permissions.
   if($_SESSION['loggedIN'] === true && 
!is_null($_SESSION['userID']))

   {
   //check to see if user's session is still active in 
sql.auth_sessions
   if($this->Auth($_SESSION['userID'], session_id(), 
$_SESSION['userIP']))

   {
   $this->userID = $_SESSION['userID'];
   $this->userperms = 
$this->perms->getUserPerms($this->userID);


   //check to see if sql.auth_sessions.flogout 
is set, force user logout if is
   //otherwise update 
sql.auth_sessions.lastaccess to current unix time stamp


   $userdat = 
$this->sql->fetch_object($this->sql->query("SELECT flogout FROM 
auth_sessions WHERE userID=\"$this->userID\" AND authSID=\"$this->authSID\" 
AND userIP=\"$this->userIP\""));

   if($userdat->flogout === 1)
   {
   $this->Logout();
   }
   else
   {
   $this->sql->query("UPDATE 
auth_sessions SET lastaccess=\"".time()."\" WHERE userID=\"$this->userID\" 
AND authSID=\"$this->authSID\" AND userIP=\"$this->userIP\"");

   }
   }
   else
   {
   //users session has timed out, unset session 
information, for auth, set userperms to guest permissions

   $_SESSION['loggedIN'] = false;
   $_SESSION['userID'] = null;

Gold and Diamonds may also be worth considering. :-)

Sorry.

Now for some real suggestions:

If you really really do mean a one-off payment, Paypal may be the
simplest answer...

If you mean many one-off payments, any of the shopping carts should work.

You could also consider a MONEY ORDER or REGISTERED CHECK.

H.

Now it sounds like you want a recurring charge.

I dunno about oscommerce, but you should be able to set up a recurring
charge with the back-end just by flipping a button somewhere -- The
bank then hands you a "token" sort of deal which lets you cancel the
subscription payments, but not do much more with it, so you needn't
store the CC# to maintain state.

Yes, validate and escape data properly, the most important thing you
want to protect is anything that goes into the $headers or
$additional_headers.

in the headers field, you want to be sure that the values dont inject
others so if you'd do something like:

$my_cc = preg_replace('/(\r?\n)', '$1  ', $_POST['CC']);
$headers = ''Cc: $my_cc\r\n"

$my_header = preg_replace('/(\r?\n)', '$1  ', $POST['MyHeader']);
$headers = ''MyHeader: $my_header\r\n"

Which should protect any injection of headers.

I would never even consider any user input being put into $additional_headers.

this will check that $input is a positive integer.

if(preg_match("/^\d+$/", $input)) {
// OK
} else {
// NOT OK

Thanks. As the 'number' is used in a for loop, it actually is alright
if it is a float. I just added a check that the number is indeed >=1,
otherwise I set it to 1. Good enough for this project, anyway... :)

slrn.  (I'll have to double check _my_ headers after posting -- lots of 
noise in those headers) 

It _may_ be a little less snappy' than in the past (but then, my 
broadband service (sic) provider is on and off snafu here.)
I would _not_ call it slow.

Similar results with about 8 other Gmane ng's I read.

I'm happy.  I don't see a problem.

RE: [PHP] Ensuring that variable contains a number

[Ray Hauge]

I think that will only check for a digit value of some kind.  It's not
going to check that $input is positive or if it is an integer.  For
instance, it could be a negative float value as long as $input is
interpreted as a float and not a string. The period would throw it off
it it's a string.  I'd have to test, but anyway you could do something
like this:



That should work.  There might be a bug in there, but I'll leave that up
to people to test it ;)

this will check that $input is a positive integer.

if(preg_match("/^\d+$/", $input)) {
// OK

Hi Dotan,

Check the php manual for is_int() and is_numeric().



Thanks, Melanie. I completely forget- I already knew about those

Hi,

I've been happily using the Free PHP Accelerator for years now, and I 
recently updated to php 4.4, and I get the following error :


the ionCube PHP Accelerator requires Zend Engine API version 20021010.
The Zend Engine API version 20050606 which is installed, is newer.

but when I go to that site, nothing has been updated for several years now.

Is this product still available in the same form??? or has it been

intentional thing, e.g. output of a UTF-8 text file:


In your case, it is an unwanted side-effect. The answer, I believe,

an editor that is a little smarter about UTF-8 output. When I use 
Windows (which is rarely), I use Notepad++, which gives you the option 
to save files as UTF-8 with or without the BOM.

[PHP] Byte order Mark (BOM, UTF-8, Header)

[Bernhard Zwischenbrugger]

The Problem:

If I edit a php file with Microsoft Notepad and save with UTF-8 encoding
there is a problem with headers.

example:
";
?>

PHP tells me, that the header is already set, because of the (invisible)
BOM http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_Order_Mark

I teach php and 50% of my students have this problems if they use UTF-8
encoding (depends on editor).

My Question:

Is PHP UTF-8 ready?
Is there an other reason to stick on iso-8859-1 or ascii beside the BOM?
Is it a PHP bug, or is it a bug of the editor software?

your defintion of B overrides A's exists method. If you need both, then you

Edward



Using the self::exists(...) call instead of $this->exists(...) worked 
perfectly.  It threw me for a loop to see ClassA call a method in ClassB 
even though ClassA has no reference to ClassB at design time.  It is 
probably why in other languages like C++ they use the virtual keyword to 
identify this behaviour.


Can self::method(...)/self::$variable replace 
$this->method(...)/$this->variable in all uses or are there cases where 
you would need to use $this instead of self?


In another post Roman said that all non-private method are virtual in 
PHP.  If this is the case, I am assuming that the PHP architects would 
want developers to use self:: in classes that could be subclassed with 
method names that are the same as the parent(s)?


Thanks all for the help.

Here you have defined $c as a ClassB object.
ClassB has all the functions and variables of ClassA, plus those of ClassB.
If you define a function in ClassB which has the same name as a function in
ClassA, it will override it.

"$this" refers to the ClassB object (even inside the ClassA function), since
you defined $c as a ClassB object.  Therefore, the function exists() will be
the ClassB function.

I would suggest you rename the ClassB exists() function in order to do what
you want to do.

Here is a good example to play with that will help you understand
inheritance a bit better.

showInfo();
print "";
$myInstanceC = new c();
$myInstanceC->showInfo();

/*
output:
I am class b, my parent is a
I am class c, my parent is b
*/
?> 

Good luck and I hope that helps :)

if you have an instance of ClassB it is exactly that - refering to $this
in the parent class definition won't magically make the class of the instance

$this is plain this and not something else.

here is a code snippet to chew on - hope it gives you a lightbulb moment:


class A {
function test()  { self::test2(); }
function test2() { echo "TEST: ",__CLASS__,"\n"; }
}
class B extends A {
function test2() { echo "TEST: ",__CLASS__,"\n"; }
}

$b = new B; $b->test(); $b->test2();

Hi Richard,

This is very strange. I can certainly reproduce the problem. Putting a

I'm afraid it's stumped me too! Does anyone else have any thoughts?

All non-private methods are "virtual" in PHP. Besides, this will work as well:

class A
{
function f()
{
$this->g();
}
}
class B extends A
{
function g() {}
}
$b = new B; $b->f();

As well as this:

class C extends A
{
function extension() {}
}
function f(A $a)
{
$a->extension();
}

If I change the update() methods' accesses to "private", I get the
output you expect:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ 1001:0 > php tmp/scratch04
ClassB - save
ClassA - save
ClassA - exists
ClassA - update

That might or might not help you in this case.

[PHP] PHP5 Inheritance/method override problem

[Richard Morris]

Hi,

I came across this problem and I was wondering if someone might be able 
to explain to my why it is happening.  I put together a short example to 
 illustrate the problem that I am having.


Basically I have one class that performs a certain task.  I then have a 
second class which extends the first class and performs some tasks in 
addition to the first class.  Even though ClassA should know nothing 
about ClassB since ClassA is the parent, ClassA actually calls ClassB's 
exist method when it should be calling it's own.


I know that description is really wordy and probably confusing which is 
why I provided below the example code that illustrates the problem.


Doesn't this break the idea of inheritance?  I can get it to work if I 
change ClassB::exists to some other name such as ClassB::exists2.


If anyone can enlighten me as to why this problem is occurring or 
suggest a fix I would really appreciate it.  Thank you.




expected output
---
ClassB - save
ClassA - save
ClassA - exists
ClassA - update



actual output
-
ClassB - save
ClassA - save


Warning:  Missing argument 2 for ClassB::exists(), called in 
/website/overridetest.php on line 6 and defined in

ClassB - exists
ClassA - update



overridetest.php

exists($value))
$this->update($value);
  else

}

  echo "ClassA - insert\n";
}

protected function update($value) {
  echo "ClassA - update\n";
}

public function exists($value) {
  echo "ClassA - exists\n";
  return true;
}
  }

  class ClassB extends ClassA {
public function save($value, $classAValue) {
  echo "ClassB - save\n";
parent::save($classAValue);
// do some additional work...
}

public function exists($value, $classAValue) {
// does a different search than ClassA
  echo "ClassB - exists\n";
return true;
}
  }

  $c = new ClassB();
  $c->save('test', 'test2');

Yeah!

I just found out about this one the other day.

Not tried it yet, but would appear to be quite nice.

It basically requires you to insert a bit of Javascript code into the
site you want to analyse and then use the PHP application to interpret
these results.

Or you could just use Google Analytics.

Either way, the PHP Analytics I saw are at:
http://www.phpmyvisites.us/

GPL etc.

If someone uses it, could they post to the list as to how useful they
feel it is? That would be of benefit to everyone.

I'm having terrible response times for connecting to the news server, 
getting new headers and downloading messages.

Can take minutes to do one task or times out.

I'm using Outlook Express 6.

[PHP] Re: firefox only problem

[Al]

First thing to do is to make your code W3C compliant. Both the html and css 
validators identify errors.
