Using shell_exec('matlab -r /path/to/myscript') would be a better idea.

Ok, this is where you need to understand the fundamental difference 
between how CVS and Subversion work. For CVS branching and tagging are 
operations in themselves. In Subversion they're just copies. How you 
layout your repository is up to you, but the recommended layout is 
usually used because you need somewhere in the repository to put 
branches and tags.


As for how to do it... think of it as simply copying files and it should 
make sense...


svn copy svn+ssh://server/repos/trunk svn+ssh://server/repos/tags/mytag

So, that wasn't too hard was it? It's different to CVS, and it does 
require that you think about your repositories in a slightly different 
way, but to me it's a lot more flexible and it's definitely more 
efficient than CVS. But it's all down to personal choice.

I fail to see the difference between "just a script" and "a proper

I think of a "script" as something like a firewall script - where-as 
cvs/subversion have a bunch of different commands to do different things.


All interpretation I guess :P


I use cvs at work (because it was more mature at the time I set it up)
and subversion at home.


CVS wraps RCS, so you have used it!


OK I haven't used RCS *directly* - Happy? ;)

There's a little more to it than that. In CVS folders are not tracked at
all. In Subversion they are treated like files, and therefore have their
own history. One of the major effects of this is that you can have empty
folders in your repository - something I usually have in most of my
projects, but that CVS insisted on having a file inside before it would
retain the fact the folder exists.

That's odd since this is one of the major advantages that Subversion has
over CVS (for me at any rate). When you branch or tag in CVS it will sit
there and create a copy of every single file in the repository.
Depending on the size of your projects this can take a while.

Subversion can create a tag or a branch instantly regardless of the size
of the repository. It does this by using a mechanism akin to pointers.
It doesn't actually create a copy of the files until you commit a change
in a tag or a branch.

Personally I used to use CVS until I discovered Subversion, and I've
never looked back. However, I am now looking forward and have recently
started playing with Git. Git is something of a paradigm shift when
compared to "traditional" source control, but the way it works is
starting to make a lot of sense to me. I suggest you include it in your
evaluations before deciding on a source control system.

I prefer using XDEBUG, which is totally free. You can install it from
the pecl repositories: pecl install xdebug

Then, you simply install it as an extension on your development machine,
and execute your scripts. A really nice feature of xdebug is that not
only does it give you detailed stack traces and things when stuff goes
wrong, but you can also do really excellent (and graphical) profiling in
combination with cachegrind (I use KCacheGrind on Ubuntu), which uses
GraphViz to make very interesting graphs of what your code is doing.

If you would like a more detailed HOWTO, please let me know, and I will

well, since google know nothing of this "linux script", I would be less

I prefer CVS.

Since you are working with a completed project, for the most part, I 
would recommend CVS.


One major pitfall that could arise is if you needed to change a 
directory name.  It isn't too easy to do this with CVS, but it is fairly 
easy with Subversion.


Others may have different opinions about the two mentioned version 
control system, or suggest a different approach all together. But CVS is 
what I use, and it seems to work fine in all my projects just fine.

Hi Mark,

Instead of move_uploaded_file($uploaded, $newlocation), use:



HOWEVER, what you are doing is a *really* bad idea regardless of where
you save the uploaded file.  No matter how much you trust your end
users, running SQL uploaded directly on the database is extremely dangerous.

Instead, you should define a simple set of questions based on the user
and the databases they have access to, i.e. a multi-select box that
allows the user to select which databases to backup, and possibly allow
an .ini file to be uploaded defining which tables in databases to back
up, and then from the .ini file construct the actual SQL that will be
run.  Your ini-to-sql script should also contain verification to ensure
that, for instance, the user is not requesting to "back up" the mysql
table and acquire all the people's accounts/passwords.

If the user wishes to back up the user_blah database, tables foo and
bar, your ini could be:

[user_blah]
tables = foo,bar

Or, for all:

[user_blah]
tables = *

Otherwise, you're just asking to get shot in the digital foot.

Good luck,
Greg

Re: [PHP] possible to "move_uploaded_file" to a variable instead a file?

[Larry Garfield]

I believe you can just fopen() and friends the file directly out of /tmp, or 
wherever the file gets put.  Just read the file itself into a string and have 
your way with it.  PHP will delete the temp file for you when the script 
ends.

I've not used serialize(), but I think it packs its input into some
proprietary (internal) format best suited to handle as a single entity
(pass it to-fro, store it in database, etc.). Ergo, a serialized entity
cannot be used as it is - you need to unserialize it back before use.
OTOH, pack() returns the internal binary representation of its input as a
binary string. This may not always be the optimal way to handle a given
collection of data as in the case for serialize(), but it enables you to
access, use and manipulate internal representations of the data, be it
just a single variable or an assorted structure.

I once used pack to obtain a 128 bit long binary string (xor key for
rudimentary file encryption) by packing four 32-bit integers into a binary
string and then using it as the xor key. (FWIW, bitwise operations work
both on integers and "strings" - binary or otherwise.)

I believe there are profiling tools... probably from Zend. How big is
your script? You might get away with using the microtime() function to
locate slow areas of code. Generally speaking I use it to binary
partition the code with echos of the current microtime() and narrow down
what I want to know.

   You could check out xdebug, which is a real-time processor.  I use
it on two of my servers, and I'm actually pretty pleased with it.  If
you have a bug in your code that's multiple-functions- and
several-include-files-deep, it does pretty well about telling which
function (called by which function, etc.) in which file (included by
which file, etc.) caused the exception.

Three of those are independent of the framework per se.  APC can be used with 
any serious PHP project.  memcached can be supported by many.  

And Drupal can support APC and memcached and postgresql just fine, 
actually. :-)  That makes it fly.

For what definition of "big"?  If you're developing something that actually 
needs APC and memcached, then you're looking at several months of time for 
the framework itself to develop, test, and benchmark for performance if 
you're already skilled and have experience with other similar systems.  If 
you have no prior experience with other systems (Drupal, Cake, Symfony, 
Propel, ezComponents, Zend Framework, whatever) then you're going to be 
coding yourself into oblivion and get nothing done.

I speak from experience. :-)

the best part about re-inventing the wheel is,
once youve re-invented it; its yours!

time is precious yes; but what happens when you get along using some lib and
you cant get it to do what you want?
you start writing weak code because you never learned how to write good code
in the first place, or you cant analyze
the code in the library because you dont understand the constructs theyve
used to build the library.
need i say design patterns?

obviously incorporating libraries into your codebase is an excellent way to
leverage working code, that theoretically is
well written.
that being said, i think w/ php, many people are still implementing home
grown solutions for 'frameworks' because there arent, or
isnt a defacto standard for php.  eg. if you hear people talk about java,
they will always mumble something about hibernate in a conversation about a
database abstraction layer.
why?  its solid, proven, capable, etc., etc.

to the author of the thread; if you want to write your own framework, i
suggest you start
studying:)

Typo... *yawn*. You knew what was intended. Feel free to comment on the
typo, but calling the statement nonsensical when the meaning was easy to
ascertain suggests you're either stupid or trolling. I'll presume the
latter, but feel free to correct me if it's the former.

you "will get" is entirely up to individual in question.

You presume the use of SourceForge to host such a project. Granted, you
probably meant "Yet Another Soon To Be Neglected Project", but that
doesn't excuse you from once again presuming it will be neglected. A
project used by *1* person, no matter how useless YOU think it is, is
not neglected by that person. Popularity hardly constitutes a

People can and do shop around when they want to. This should not stop
anyone who wants to create their own project from doing so. People have
free will, biases, opinions, ideas, goals and as such can pursue
fulfilment as they please. While it can be nice that they might
contribute their bright ideas to some other project, they are in no way
obligated to do so. If their ideas are bright enough then chances are
they will attract their own following.

Actually from the OP's statement I see that he wants clues on how to
start a FRAMEWORK, not clues on how to start a PROJECT. If he wanted you
to infer another intent he probably would have used another set of
words. And if he did mean PROJECT instead of FRAMEWORK then he should
have stated so since given no other context we can only know what he has
written... all else is conjecture. It's possible I missed something
though, perhaps invisible font text *uhuh uhuh*, and there really is the
word "project" in the OP's post. I'd appreciate you pointing it out to
me.

[PHP] pack vs. serialize

all,

i have recently stumbled upon the

can this be used as a substitute for
serialize
?
if so, is there any rationalization for this; like would it perhaps create a
more
compact representation of the data or run more quickly?
it looks like pack cannot be used on object as i didnt see object in the
format listing;
what would be a typical application of the pack method?

Why not? You're argument is invalid. It suggests that since solutions
already exist to a problem that we should lie down and leave things as
they are. Progress, and I'm not suggesting my personal projects have
caused much progress, progress can only be achieved by revisiting what
exists and either attempting to improve upon them, or attempting to
create a new approaches.

The wheel as we know it today wouldn't exist in the thousands of forms
that it does if not for re-invention. Should we have left it at the
stone wheel? The wooden wheel? The metal wheel? The solid wheel? The
spoked wheel? The rubber coated circumference wheel? The tired wheel?
The inflatable wheel? Tell me at which point attempts at advancement
should have been abandoned because "we have enough wheels"? In fact,
I'll wager that advancements to the wheel continue.

I believe there are profiling tools... probably from Zend. How big is
your script? You might get away with using the microtime() function to
locate slow areas of code. Generally speaking I use it to binary
partition the code with echos of the current microtime() and narrow down
what I want to know.

For purposes of above question only (and assuming application is PHP and
thus running on HTTP which is TCP-based protocol) the answer is that you
can rely on the ip address. For general purposes the answer is you can
forge ip address and can not rely on them (due to NAT and other issues)

   If it's something very mission-critical and/or top secret, NEVER

(similar to what the default SSH client on Linux does) and using that,
which is a lot more difficult to duplicate.

I don't think it's *terribly* verbose, as it has good sentence structure
to it, but your version is certainly more efficient, hence I've
swapped to that. Any other takers? ;)


lose the conditionals?

$filter['flags'] = 0;
$allow_fraction && $filter['flags'] |= FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_FRACTION;
$allow_thousand && $filter['flags'] |= FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND;
$allow_scientific && $filter['flags'] |= FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_SCIENTIFIC;

or keep the conditionals and just do one assignment?

$filter['flags'] = ($allow_fraction ? FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_FRACTION : 0)
 | ($allow_thousand ? FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND : 0)
 | ($allow_scientific ? FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_SCIENTIFIC : 0);

as the perl motto says, "there's more than one way to do it".

Daniel:

Bzzzet, thanks for trying.

Let me explain again, maybe I did explain myself well.

In the show-code folder (link below) is a php file entitled "a.php".
Inside that file are password and user ID variables. They don't mean
anything, nor do they do anything, but they are there.

Now, I did say that you have all the tools you need at the site to
discover what these values are. Can you do it?

Again, here's the link:

http://sperling.com/a/show-code/

Is this trivial or not?

Cheers,

tedd

   Tedd,

   You may not have noticed the fact that the joke I made was
directly-related to the content within the file.  I just didn't want
to post it to the list in case anyone else was trying.  It only took
about 90 seconds to get the data.  The password has a single-quote in
it (hence the non-PAM-compliant crack).  Also, is it necessary to have
the space before the $id tag?  Aren't $id fields usually placed prior
to the $password field?  And finally, shouldn't the phrase end with a
question mark, considering it's an inquiry and not a statement?

   That should suffice right?  ;-P

While I agree with you that it "should" be \r\n, I've found I get more
consistent results when I use just \n and things get borked when I use
\r\n. I'm using postfix, maybe it's buggy :|

[PHP] New htmlentities() '$double_enocde' Param Question

[Chris]

I just need a clarification about the new "$double_encode" param for  
htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars().


Is it supposed to do as I expect it to do in the code below or am I  
misuderstanding its use?


// Output: <
echo htmlentities('<', ENT_QUOTES, false);

// Expected Output: <
// Actual Output: <
echo htmlentities(htmlentities('<', ENT_QUOTES, false), ENT_QUOTES,  
false);



Thanks,

AFAIK, the sendmail_from setting only has an effect when running on Win32.

The last paragraph of the page

Go figure!

The appropriate code is;

mail ($to, $subject, $message, $header = 'From: "Larry, Curly and Moe"
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>');


Brad:

Don't forget to add the content.

mail($to, $subject, $headers, $body);

And you can also add "Reply-to: "

Such as:

$headers ='From: "Larry, Curly and Moe"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>')>\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-to: "Moe"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' >\n";

And, IF you are permitted to use the fifth parameter:

$extra = "-f" . $fromAddress;

mail($to, $subject, $headers, $body, $extra);

or

ini_set('sendmail_from', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
mail($to, $subject, $headers, $body);

Re: [PHP] Previous and Next Month and Year

[Larry Garfield]

I generally use strtotime() as the swiss army knife of PHP date handling.  You 
give it a string and a timestamp to use as a base, and it gives you back a 
new timestamp.  So you can say:

strtotime("+6 months", $sometimestamp);

And it will give you back the time stamp six months after $sometimestamp, 
taking into account leap years, changes of year, I think daylight savings 
(although I'm not certain of that), etc.  Really, if you want to do any sort 
of time math that's not second-based, strtotime() will take most of the hard 
work off your hands.  It's simply amazing.

The final parameter is important and should also be included. It sets
the envelope sender which is the address the email will get bounced to
if necessary.

Re: [PHP] Re: Previous and Next Month and Year

[Keith Spiller]

Hi Vlad,

Thank you for taking the time to help me.

The code:
 $prev_month = date('F Y', mktime(0, 0, 0, 0, date('m') - 6, date('Y')));
 $next_month = date('F Y', mktime(0, 0, 0, 0, date('m') + 6, date('Y')));

 echo "$prev_month  \n";
 echo "$next_month  \n";

Generates:
 November 2006 
 December 2006 


The $prev_month value seems correct,
but the $next_month value should be:
 December 2008

Do you see my mistake?

time() returns a unix timestamp of the current moment in time (now), so 
in effect you are adding or subtracting 6 seconds to that.

calling:
date('m/d/Y', time());
is the same as calling:
date('m/d/Y');

On the other hand:
mktime(hour, minute, second, month, day, year) generates a timestamp 
such that:

mktime(0, 0, 0, date('d'), date('m') + 6, date('Y'));
would generate a date timestamp 6 months in the future.
or
mktime(0, 0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('Y'));
would generate last day from last month this year.

Word of wisdom: don't rely solely on timestamp calculations e.g. now + 
24 hours and so on, because you may need to take into account daylight 
savings times and such otherwise your calculations may be off.
