First of all, thanks for taking the time to respond.

I had tried fsockopen, but here's the problem.  The

$fp = fsockopen("www.example.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
$fp = fsockopen("www.youtube.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
$fp = fsockopen("www.this_url_is_not_valid.com", 80, $errno,

The call below does not work and always returns FALSE.
If I enter the url in a web browser, it works fine, but
fsockopen does not like it.

$fp = fsockopen("www.youtube.com/v/JqO8ZevPJNk", 80, $errno,  
$errstr, 30);


I think it has something to do with the way YouTube
works.  Any clues?

Did you take a look at the error numbers / messages returned by  
fsockopen? What do they say? I can't see any problems with your code  
either. So, either the call gets stuck maybe due to some  
configuration on your machine (you can simply test it by changing you  
fsockopen call to e.g. www.php.net - or your lolcalhost), or - as you  
already mentioned - it is youTube that blocks your calls in some way  
(therefore, error message might give you a clue why).


Another thing that poped up in my mind - curl. Tried that?

[PHP] Parsing AJAX post data -- The Way

[M5]

Just wondering what smart people do for parsing data sent by the  
Javascript XMLHTTP object--e.g., http.send("post",url,true)...


In a normal form submit, the $_POST global nicely allocates form  
elements as array elements automatically. But with the AJAX way, the  
data get stuffed inside $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA as a string, thereby  
making extraction more tedious.


Any ideas?

Hello,

How can I sort an array like this so that it would be ASC ordered by the [1]

[1] => Array

These are both HTML editor features, not PHP editor features.  

For me, the big three features I want in a PHP dev environment are:

- Syntax highlighting.
- Context-sensitive code assistance.  I hate having to remember the order of 
parameters, especially when they're irregular.
- Real-time debugger.  The only one I've found that works for me so far is 
Zend's.  I cannot overstate how useful a real-time debugger is for tracking 
down bugs in complex applications.

There is no way in hell one long line of SQL is easier to read than

While the above is contrived, most of us know such examples happen quite

I'm not that smart either, but probably more so than you.  ;-)

I use GoLive for the Mac for all my html, javascript, ajax, dom 
scripting, php, and mysql development. It has a bunch of WYSIWYG junk 
that I seldom use.


But, it gives me: a great editor (syntax coloring throughout the 
different languages); allows me to develop real-time on the web 
(virtual host stuff); with universal link checking (i.e, change one, 
it changes the rest); excellent search and replace features; and an 
on-line/off-line directory structure that makes it very easy to 
update files to/from my server. Plus, it allows me to edit files via 
their parent application (i.e., Photoshop, GIF editor, Flash, 
whatever) while using GoLive.


As far as Browsers, GoLive can launch any Mac browser, but not IE -- 
there is no IE for Mac, other than IE5.2. As such, I use BrowserCam 
to check for layouts and I think that's a better way to check for css 
differences between browsers. I never observe any php/mysql 
differences.


The layout allows me to set-up my defaults to the way I want thing to 
be from what the doctypes my files are to be saved as to the way and 
type of helper windows I want.

I notice you formatted all of the "long" ones. That's why in my original
statement I wrote "There is no way in hell one long line". Subsequently,
I deem you to be in agreement with my point, despite the misguided
protest :B

Sure there is.  If it's a very simple SQL statement.

I have at various times done all of the following, depending on the complexity 
of the statement in question:

SELECT id, foo, FROM foo_table WHERE id=5

(Too short to really bother with splitting up.)

SELECT id, foo, bar, baz
FROM foo_table
  INNER JOIN bar_table on a=b
  LEFT OUTER JOIN baz_table on b=c
WHERE blah
  AND stuff < narf
  OR (thingie AND other)
ORDER BY foo

SELECT a.a, a.b, a.c
b.d, b.e, b.f
  FROM a
INNER JOIN b ON whatever
ORDER BY a.b, a.c DESC

optimize your style for readability.  Readability is, of course, partially

highlighting. I like the editor that much :)

Why? Web servers read files. Editor's read and write files. Seems the

Huh? What's browser check? Don't you just test with each of the
browsers? IE works quite nicely with windows confined to a vmware
sandbox.

ON B.fee = A.foo LEFT JOIN tableC AS C ON C.fii = B.fee LEFT JOIN tableD

cfield2 ASC

If we want to argue about this, let's set a few guidelines as to what

1. Syntax highlighting

No, but a quick search on php.net for "JPEG progress" with "online

Not for me.

SQL is just another programming language, and I fail to see why
principles of programming hygiene shouldn't apply to it.

That's a strong argument against indenting source code: all you need is
a solid design upfront!  Of course, if your queries sum up to blah,
blah, blah, it might not be worth designing them in the first place.

Actually, if you are trying to match people up with their ZIP codes,
you would probably be best off taking the ZIP (and possibly address)
input, converting it to latitude/longitude with something like Google
or Yahoo services, and then using a simple distance function to find
nearest matches.

It's entirely possible for this situation, especially in rural areas:

---|-
Zip Code: X  User X|Vendor B
   | Zip Code: Y
Vendor A   |
-
Legend: - equals 10 miles, newline = 10 miles

As you can see, User X is MUCH closer to Vendor B, but Vendor A is in
their zip code.

Once you geo-code their address correctly (which is a challenge to get
right, I admit) you can end up providing MUCH better service to the
end user.

You could keep the FORM the same, but use http://php.net/explode to
put separate records into the database, and http://php.net/implode to
show the zips in the FORM.

Depending on the application, you may want to have separate INPUT
fields for pre-existing zips in the DB, with no implode, and only a
big-ass INPUT for NEW zips with commas to go into the DB.

It's also possible to play games with CSS and/or JS and extra INPUT
fields to have the number of available INPUT fields be dynamic as they
add more and more zips in the browser.

YMMV

It's probably best to stop and think about what's the BEST way for
people to do this task, the best business process, and then ask how to
achieve that, rather than pushing the Design to match your (current)
PHP limitations. :-)

The problem with 'file' is that you are trying to suck down the ENTIRE
video, probably...

I dunno what you did wrong with fsockopen...

I personally would have done fopen and read the headers to see if it
was valid.

nothing to do with this argument but:

this reminds of a thread on internals where someone was trying to determine
if a serialized data was *safe* to run ... the data was coming from a cookie (I 
think),
unserializing the data without first checking it didn't contain something
evil was a bad idea - the proposed solution was a fairly simple regex
that checked for 'object' notation in the serialized string. :-)

I believe those results are specific to what is being read.

Surely it's easier to read:

SELECT blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

if it's all on one line, no matter how many fields there are, while
trying to read the code as a whole.

Sure, it can be "hard" to find/read the individual field names, on the

What is in the data at byte 1384 that can't be unserialized?


Are you trying to take data serialized by one version of PHP and
unserialize it with another?

That does not work in current versions, though discussion on Internals
lends hope that future versions will be able to deal intelligently
with this situation.


Check http://bugs.php.net/ for similar bugs -- there may be a patch.

Also check with suhosin and Debian bug tracking, as it may be specific
to either of those.

http://php.net/error_log
might be able to send error messages to your Apache or system log,
depending on the settings of php.ini
You could even go so far as emailing the errors to yourself, though
that obviously is rife with possiblities of abuse in a Production
environment...

http://php.net/set_error_handler
may come in handy to automate handling the errors once you figure out
how to do it.

Convincing the server admin to give you a directory outside the
webtree where you can have PHP writing error log data should not be
too terribly difficult...

You want to add a 'U' after you closing # so that matches are

The only live example of a php jar (phar) is bundled with PHP newer than
PHP 5.1.0, and you can see it at http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar or
http://pear.php.net/install-pear-nozlib.phar.  These packages were
created using the PHP_Archive package at
http://pear.php.net/PHP_Archive.  There is also an unrelated project
that calls itself PHK that claims to have more features, but I have not
tried it.

Although PHP_Archive-based phars work, I've been working with Marcus
Boerger on the native PHP extension Phar (http://pecl.php.net/phar)
which will allow far more flexibility and power as well as performance.
 However, any software that relies upon include_path needs to be
modified to work with phar, which can be a royal pain, depending on how
it was designed initially.  The best example of the packaging script
that might be necessary is at
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear-core/make-gopear-phar.php

Strange, you should have gotten nothing:

s (PCRE_DOTALL)

If this modifier is set, a dot metacharacter in the pattern matches
all characters, including newlines. Without it, newlines are
excluded.

> I would have expected preg_match to have matched from the first  through

As Jochem wrote, you also need U (PCRE_UNGREEDY).

You can use preg_match() to extract a subset of the tree, but why bother
if you have unserialize($aTreeOfObjects)->getElementById("foo")?

not everyone shares that sentiment. in terms of lowest common denominator
XML is also a string. then there is the question of whether it's actually
marked as XML, whether there is valid DTD and whether the XML itself validates
against the DTD - if any of the answers is 'no' then your looking at tag soup.

there is a lot more tagsoup in this world than there is proper xml.

that said it can't hurt to throw simpleXML at the problem :-)

I am well aware it is XML and I could use an XML parser or simpleXML. I am
trying to learn regular expressions as I have a fair bit of work coming up that
will require the use pattern matching within strings. It just so happens that
some of the data looks like XML, hence the reason I am using a piece of XML for
this learning process.

Are you doing this to learn regular expressions or are you actually

This is a vast subject that deserves general study.  I recommend that 
you goggle PHP MULTILINGUAL for many resources, and check out these articles:


W3C Web Internationalization Articles
http://www.w3.org/International/articles/

Internationalization Best Practices: Specifying Language in XHTML & 
HTML Content

http://www.w3.org/TR/i18n-html-tech-lang/

At this early point in your learning, your question seems too general 
for a PHP listserve, although PHP makes a fine programming language 
for international websites, e.g.:

http://php.net/setlocale


I implement multilingual pages in two ways:

1) Switching language downloads a new version of the current page, 
generally with the same markup but new text.  Example:

http://partcon.ca/

2) Downloading all languages in the same page, hiding all but one 
with CSS and revealing other immediately when the language toggle is 
activated.  Example:

http://laurietobyedison.com/WOJwords.asp?lang=JP

In both cases I store the text in database tables that contain a 
language field I can select on to match the user's request.

Paul

No, but a quick search on php.net for "JPEG progress" with "online
documentation" from the popup yeilded:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.imageinterlace.php
"If the interlace bit is set and the image is used as a JPEG image,
the image is created as a progressive JPEG.

This function returns whether the interlace bit is set for the image. "

[PHP] Regular Expression Problem

[Richard Luckhurst]

Hi List

I must be dumb as I have been battling my way through regular expression
examples for a while and I can not work out why the following does not work
properly. I am the first to admit that regular expressions confuse me greatly.

The string is a piece of XML as follows and I have put that string into a
variable called $xml_string



 
 
   
   
 
 
 
 
   
   
 
 



What I am trying to do is extract the first  chunk.

I am using the following, based on the example at
http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php example 3

preg_match('##', $xml_string,$matches);
$tempstr = $matches[0];

What I actually get in $tempstr is everything from the first 

I would have expected preg_match to have matched from the first .

I suspect I do not have the regular expression correct. I would great appreciate
any help on sorting out the regular expression so that it only returns the first
chunk of the string.



Regards,
Richard Luckhurst

Here is the problem, and it is strange. If I enter each of the above
characters into my form one at a time and hit submit after each one, NO
error is produced for any of them.

If I cut and past this all at once:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]&*();:_.\ then an error
IS returned.


Are you really including a backslash as your final character?  Are 
you escaping it?  Is the error you're getting the result of the 
sequence \" or \' which eats up your ending delimiter?


Beauford, all of this stuff you're trying to do is elementary regular 
expression work.  The problems you're having are undoubtedly very 
easy to solve, but so far helping you has been guesswork because we 
haven't actually seen the scripts you're actually running.  To help 
us help you get past this log jam, give us all the material we need 
to analyze your problem.


1) Specify exactly which error messages you're getting.
2) Give us an URL to a test page that displays the strings and 
patterns and the error messages that result.
3) Copy the PHP script in step 2) with a .txt file extension and post 
that as well so we can proofread your code.


My own personal experience is that if you document and demonstrate 
your problem well enough that someone else can actually help you, the 
chances are that doing so will reveal the solution to you, like magic.

Here is the problem, and it is strange. If I enter each of the above
characters into my form one at a time and hit submit after each one, NO
error is produced for any of them.

If I cut and past this all at once:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]&*();:_.\ then an error
IS returned.
If I continue to remove one character at a time, submitting the form each
time, errors ARE still produced.

This is the code in a nutshell:

If(isset($submit)) {

$name = stripslashes($_POST['name']);  >> I have tried this with and
without

$formerror = array(); unset($result);  >> I have tried this with and
without

if($result = ValidateString($name)) { $formerror['name'] =
$invalidcharacters;

Function ValidateString($string) {
if (!preg_match('|[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*();:_. /\t-]+$|',
$string) ) {
return invalidchars;
}
}
}

PHP won't let you edit files on your users' computer.  Ever.

Maybe it would be worth your time to look into a different language to
do whatever it is you want to do, something like Visual Basic might suit
you well (last time I used it there was a control that would popup the
standard windows 'Select Folder' dialog.)

As for monitor size, I've noticed over the years that my function 
size increased with the height of my monitor.


The width of my monitors didn't affect much because I've always 
worked with one line, one statement and most statements are shorter 
than 80 characters. However, having more than one monitor (I have 
three) is absolutely great in that I can have several windows open at 
the same time.


As for 12 inch monitors, I remember my old Apple ][ with a 9 inch 
monitor (not Apple, I think Sanyo) that I used with a real-time 
analog video camera, graphic tablet for digitizing, and the 
computer's text and graphics were drawn on top of everything -- now 
that was small, but it worked great. I could digitize the head of

RE: [PHP] To many connections error message

[Lic.Eduardo Ricardo Hernández Osorio]

Hi Pinter:
Look at your php.ini file for the sentence 
error_reporting  =  E_ALL
this mean that your server shut to your browser any error or warning that it
found in your php code. You must go to your php.ini and change that sentence
for any that disables all warnings. 
You can use for example a combination of next:
 E_ERROR   - fatal run-time errors
 E_WARNING - run-time warnings (non-fatal errors)
 E_PARSE   - compile-time parse errors
 E_NOTICE  - run-time notices (these are warnings which often result
from a bug in your code, but it's possible that it was
intentional (e.g., using an uninitialized variable and
relying on the fact it's automatically initialized to an
empty string)
 E_STRICT  - run-time notices, enable to have PHP suggest changes
 to your code which will ensure the best
interoperability
 and forward compatability of your code
 E_CORE_ERROR  - fatal errors that occur during PHP's initial startup
 E_CORE_WARNING- warnings (non-fatal errors) that occur during PHP's
 initial startup
 E_COMPILE_ERROR   - fatal compile-time errors
 E_COMPILE_WARNING - compile-time warnings (non-fatal errors)
 E_USER_ERROR  - user-generated error message
 E_USER_WARNING- user-generated warning message
 E_USER_NOTICE - user-generated notice message

An example:
error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR 
this shows only all error types.

Sure it can, but its a lame host that enables displaying of errors by 
default, thats why I advised to ask them to disable it globally :)

btw: Although display_errors may be set at runtime (with *ini_set()* 
), it won't have any 
affect if the script has fatal errors. This is because the desired 
runtime action does not get executed.

[PHP] Validating a link in php

[sleestak2]

Hi all,

I'm hoping y'all can help me with a bit of a php code problem I'm having.

What I'm trying to do is link to YouTube videos (more than one in a single
webpage).  However, because I'm worried about the videos going away and the
links going bad, I'd like to use PHP to check if the link is good; if it's
good, display the video link, else display a static image that I have on my
servers.

Where I'm having troubles is in the checking of whether the url is good.  I
think part of the problem is YouTube itself.  I've tried file() and
fsockopen(), but neither seem to work.

Below is an example of the block of code I'm trying to write.

http://www.youtube.com/v/JqO8ZevPJNk"; url is valid) <-- ???
   {
 echo "  \n";
 echo "  http://www.youtube.com/v/JqO8ZevPJNk\";>\n";
 echo "  http://www.youtube.com/v/JqO8ZevPJNk\"\n";;
 echo " type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" height=\"400\" 
width=\"475\">\n";
 echo "  \n";
   }
   else
   {
 echo "  \n";
   }
?>

Many thanks for any assistance you can provide.

as a sidenote (won't help to fix the current encoding issues outright):

currency values should be stored in the DB as integers (i.e. as penny based 
values).
no floats (so that you avoid any rounding errors) and definitely no currency 
symbols!

(if you need to store which currency the
price/ammount is in then use a seperate field (and don't use the symbol, 
instead use the currency
ISO code - many currencies share a common symbol!)

are you unserializing data that was serialized with an older version
of php per chance? the data format may have changed - I read something
about that but can't remember if it's applicable to 5.2.x

write a test script that serializes and unserializes data to
see if that also shows the problem.

[PHP] Unserialize problem (and or bug)

[Sancar Saran]

Hi,

After updating company test server to dotdeb 5.2.0 it star to give memory 
problems (even 32mb session). I tought it was because of suhosin. And I 
cannot update that server to vanilla debian php5 package because it was a 
sarge so today my company gives me another debian etch (like my home pc). I 
setup latest php 5.2.0.8 for debian etch.

Then unserialize gives another problem 

Message: unserialize(): Error at offset 1384 of 3177 bytes
Code: 8
Line: 419

My pc uses debian etch and have php 5.1.6-5 my scripts working normally.

Is there any suggestion for handle this ?

Just my 2 cents worth...

SQL actually does lend itself rather well to normal code style 
indenting, even though not many seem to do it...Breaking it (and PHP 
code of course) into 78/80-char lines makes great sense for readability 
within PHP code:


$sql = "
   SELECT
   (list of fields),
   CASE ... END AS field
   ...
   FROM (table)
   JOIN (table) USING(column)
   JOIN (table) ON(column=column)
   ...
   WHERE
   (condition)
   AND
   (
  (sub-condition)
   OR
  (sub-condition)
   )
   GROUP BY (column)
   ...
";

These things are a real pain to read without formatting! :-)

I think writing unformatted SQL queries is like writing code like "if 
($var) { statement; statement; statement; foreach ($var as $v) { 
statement; statement; statement; } statement; etc. }"

Number of reading errors people make grows with line length,
this has been known for as long as I remember.  You're increasing the
probability of bugs in the code, and get tired sooner because following
long lines requires more energy.


Good point Roman. Just think how that would cut down traffic on the list!
The "most powerful editor" should have a setting MAX_WORDS_PER_LINE = 11. 

More seriously, many times I've taken a "It's right, but not working,

broken it up so it's listed "vertically" and discovered the error.

[PHP] HTML Input - Auto Format URL's

[Chris]

Hi,

I'm currently looking into the best way to approach this.

Users will be allowed to enter HTML, but I want to add the ability to 
automatically format URL's and e-mail addresses.
The problem here is before formatting URL's we need to ignore URL's that are 
already used in HTML tags and that are already formatted as hyperlinks.

First I am thinking if its possible to achieve this with various regular 
expression patterns.
Another is to do a first pass of the input and find out what to ignore, then 
on a second pass with format the links that were determined to be formatted.

I am welcome to any suggestions about this.

Thanks.

I think the PHP IMAP extension can do all you need, if you have it

the use this MIME message parser to extract the message body parts into
a string or a separate file:

This gets the messages without using the PHP IMAP extension:

Yep long lines are hard to read and formatting lines can improve
information absorption by providing extra visual cues. I use a 20" LCD
monitor and still format to 78 character wide lines.

Re: [PHP] most powerful php editor

[Sancar Saran]

I believe this was related to what did you want to do with your editor. 

I use these editors

Linux - KDE -> Kate
Win32 -> Ultra Edit

Both are support UTF8 and both can handle more than one file at one session.. 
Enough search and replace abilites.  Both can highlight code...

I wish to KDE (and or Kate) can support key macros to support my G15 extra 
buttons for speeding up some HTML and PHP standart code blocks...

I use pico and nano for editing php code very long time ago. (multiple shell 
windows etc).

Then I realize, abilites of editor effect my coding style. At that days, I 
star to add line brake to SQL querys line because of long sql querys does not 
fit the screen.

And also I detect when you adjust yourself to high capacity editor, you may be 
very frusturated and feel uncomfortable with that low capacity ones...

and also in these days I'm looking for 19 inch (or more) wide LCD sceerns to 
able to fit longer lines in my screen...

The inherent problem in any top-class word processor being used to
produce PHP code is that PHP will quite likely (read WILL) choke on the
binary format. And if it's not saved in a binary format, then it's
probable you've lost all that "top-class" formatting :B

well if you don't have existing data I strongly recommend putting the
zips into a separate table (and then you can forget LIKE and LOCATE as
well ;) )

you don't have to change the user input part, the user may enter all the
zips separated with commas, you only have to do an explode() on it and
then store the resulting array into the zips table.

Re: [PHP] Encoding issue with £

[Frank Arensmeier]

This may be more of a mysql issue, but I am using php for my app so  
here

goes...

I have a fee field in the database, and when users post events they  
can
specify entrance fee in £. In some, not all, of the fields I am  
getting, for

example, £7 rather than £. Is this an encoding issue?

Many thanks in advance...

Dave,

Maybe you already noticed that the first two letters of "£7" are the  
UTF8 encoded pound sign. But where the 7 is coming from, I do not  
know. Does the data come from a html form? A select list? Do you have  
a valid html encoding specified for your html code? I would begin by  
looking at the source where the data is coming from. In order to  
track the bug, maybe (temporarily) you could have a db where you  
would strore a var_dump on posted data together with a var_dump on  
$_SERVER. It might be possible as well to get some information about  
the users curent browser encoding by using some java script? This  
information might give you some help in narrowing down the source of  
your problem.


Otherwise, why not give your user predefined currencies to choose  
from? A simple select list would do the trick.
