Re: [PHP] Template system in PHP
Hello, I vote for Typo3 template system. If you work bunch of HTML only designers this one best. If you have some php avare designers, you should go with php based + memcached template systems. Second option was much faster anything else. Just store the template into memcached and do some str_replace.

Re: [PHP] Template system in PHP
About designers who don't know PHP.
There are two kinds
1). They draw only. They usualy don't know even HTML - they just draw.
2). They know HTML and make templates. usualy these people have to know HTML
and CSS very well. And I can't imagine how they can do that without knowing
at least Smarty tags (if they work with it). My idea is basicly that for
them there is no difference if there if
?=$variable?
or
{$variable}
They just have to know that such constructions displays some data.
So I and my colegaues stick to HTML with PHP injections in templates (i
worked with smarty once's, have to say comparing to PHP it was realy a mess.
And at least with PHP I have code highlight).
[PHP] Copying 1000s files and showing the progress
Hello All I have a situation where I have to copy something like 1000 files one by one to a temporary folder. Tar it using the system tar command and let the user download the tar file. Now while the copy is going on at server, I want to show some progress to the user at client side. Most of the tutorial I found on net was about showing progress while a file is being uploaded from client to server. In this case the client has the info but for my case, the client has no info. A similar was problem was solved at http://menno.b10m.net/blog/blosxom/perl/cgi-upload-hook.html but its in PERL and uses some form of hook. I have no clue how to do it in PHP.

Re: [PHP] Template system in PHP
... You won't find many solutions (if any) faster than require(). If all you have currently is developers you don't really have reason to use a custom templating language to slow things down. Even when you do get designers, they should: 1. Not have the final say before systems go live 2. Not be brain dead enough not to understand this: ?if($foo):? ... ?endif? Or for simple variable this: ?=$name? 3. If your front-end people can't understand that (and you can of course expect training to be necessary or some sort of cheat sheet that can be referred to), then they quite honestly aren't worth employing. (the alternative syntax for PHP conditionals and loops, along with short tags) And there should of course be some sort of test site on the same box as your live site allowing you to thoroughly test your new stuff before it goes live. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and Helpdesk software for £299 hosted for you - no installation, no maintenance, new features automatic and free ** New Helpdesk demo now available ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Unfortunately PHP returns fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to unix://:0 (Connection refused) for unix://\x00/tmp/dbus-whatever which is a bit strange because I expected at least the error message fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to unix://[NUL byte]/tmp/dbus-whatever:0 (Connection refused) Is this a known issue or do I have to set something in the php.ini?

For RAD-style database design, check out OpenOffice.org Base. I
know it comes pre-packaged with Mandriva (which I use), but I'm not
certain about other distros. Depending on your flavor, you can
probably apt-get, yum, urpmi, or manually install from an RPM or DEB.
It works a lot like Filemaker and Access, so if you're familiar
with those, you should notice a lot of similarities. Plus, it will
work without a problem with MyODBC, Unix ODBC, JDBC, and native
connections.
For future reference though, Shawn, try sending to the PHP-DB list

I don't think extra whitespace will do that. Even comments after the
closing element tag should be OK. This looks more like a document with
multiple root elements or other non-whitespace characters after the
closing root element tag.

It does not seem like it is a real bug but maybe file access is
implemented inside Curl and it has no knowledge about PHP stream support.
Alternatively, you may want to try this HTTP client class, which can use
any access files you need to use in your HTTP requests.

It might be overkill for your purposes, but you might want to explore
pdftex in Tex (or LaTeX), available for both Linux and Windows.
Create a string to write to a file, adding these header calls at the
top, massaged to your needs:
$outputStr = \\documentclass[10pt,fleqn]{article}\n;
$outputStr .= \\usepackage[cp850]{inputenc}\n;
$outputStr .= \\usepackage{textcomp}\n;
$outputStr .= \\setlength{\textwidth}{19.05cm}\n;
$outputStr .= \\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-2.0cm}\n;
$outputStr .= \\setlength{\textheight}{26.5cm}\n;
$outputStr .= \\setlength{\topmargin}{-1.9cm}\n;
$outputStr .= \\setlength{\headheight}{0.0cm}\n;
$outputStr .= \\setlength{\topskip}{0.0cm}\n;
$outputStr .= \\begin{document}\n;
$outputStr .= \\pagestyle{empty}\n;
$outputStr .= \\begin{verbatim}\n;
$outputStr .= Then append to the string whatever you want, including
variables for interpolation, formatted however you want. (Sprintf
works really well for alignment, etc...). The verbatim call above
leaves in place all text placement on the page.;
$outputStr .= Then close the string with these commands...;
$outputStr .= \\end{verbatim}\n;
$outputStr .= \\end{document}\n;
Write to a file:
$fh = fopen(FileName.tex, w);
fwrite($fh, $outputStr);
fclose($fh);
`pdflatex FileName.tex`; // ( properly escaped, of course...)
and FileName.pdf is created.
You can also do a lot of really fancy formatting, but the learning
curve can be pretty steep.

Re: [PHP] PHP fsockopen with the UNIX abstract namespace
Hi, thanks for your help - unfortunately it doesn't help.

did you ever report a bug on this ?
i was messing around with it today, and i discovered that some urls,
partially work. for example the google translate 'api', and php.net
note, i set the user agent for the google site to work. and i say,
partially, because even when data does come back, its not the complete
page, which you can easily realize by navigating to the page and comparing
the source w/ the output from the test script.
i dont know of any ini setting that would influence the amount of space
available to the memory buffer, aside from memory_limit, which i have set
to 128M.

#$c = curl_init(
http://google.com/translate_t?langpair=en%7Cfrtext=newspaper;);
$c = curl_init(http://php.net;);

I was actually doing what you just gave the code for. As of now, I was
doing something like:
for file in files:
copy from source to folder
echo Copying files encapsulated in ob_flush()
tar the file which hardly takes time on the filessyetm but does take some time
Provide the link to the tar
So at the client side it was like:
Copying file #1
Copying file #2
Download link
I though I could apply some funkiness to it by using some AJAX based
progress bar for which the example showed some sort of hooking and all
which I thought was too much for such a job. I will talk to my boss
regarding this and do the necessary.
BTW, whats the issue with AJAX based approach? Any particular reason
other then it seems to be a hack rather then an elegant solution
(which is more then enough reason not to implement it...but I wonder
if there is a technical reason to it too)?

what you are using is potentially not what you think it is. you are using
a 'static variable' which is not a static class member. you can find the
doc on static variables here,
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php
im not sure if their behavior is well defined when they are used in classes,
or objects.
as Nirmalya, has alluded, you should check out the docs on static class
members. im sure that you can achieve whatever you need to by using
some combination of static class members and instance variables.

THat is a bit intriguing why it works in some cases and others it doesn't. I do not use the Curl library functions except for things that you cannot do with the current fsockopen based socket connections. In the latest PHP versions there is not much that you cannot do with socket connections that you can do with Curl. In any case, I have encapsulated HTTP client fucntionality in the class that I mentioned, so it uses fsockopen or curl functions depending on what you need and what is available in the underlying PHP version. This way I achive a PHP version independent solution. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

From a compiler script that extends a base tag class... all it needs to
do is register the tag namespace, tag name, and the function that will
handle the tag's content. Here's a very simple case:
?php
class ExampleSiteCompilersExampleSiteTag extends JinnBaseTagCompiler
{
var $filename = __FILE__;
function ___jinnConstruct()
{
$this-handlers = array
(
'example' = array
(
'mandatory' = 'expandTagMandatory',
),
);
}
function expandTagMandatory
( $content, $space, $tag, $atts, $tagStack )
{
return 'span class=mandatory*/span';
}
}
?
Then when doing forms I can do the following:
example:mandatory/
And that will be expanded to:
span class=mandatory*/span
Then later down the road if I wanted the mandatory symbol to change to
an image, I could change the content expanded in the handler, rebuild
the site and all uses of the mandatory tag would be updated and would
incur no run-time overhead.
This is obviously a trivial example. There is much more that can be done.
For instance creating boxes, popups, relocating content, checking links,
image analysis to get the width and height of image at compile time instead
of run-time, etc. Encapsulating the data into a tag allows greatly
simplifying content. Also the tag system allows recursive expansion. So
a tag handler can output custom tags and those in turn will be expanded.
Hell, I could even create a validation tag around the primary layout
template that would then validate the content at build time.
Anyways, there ARE better template systems than PHP itself.
Cheers,
Rob.

Re: [PHP] Copying 1000s files and showing the progress
Hello, on 02/13/2008 11:11 PM Ritesh Nadhani said the following: I though I could apply some funkiness to it by using some AJAX based progress bar for which the example showed some sort of hooking and all which I thought was too much for such a job. I will talk to my boss regarding this and do the necessary. BTW, whats the issue with AJAX based approach? Any particular reason other then it seems to be a hack rather then an elegant solution (which is more then enough reason not to implement it...but I wonder if there is a technical reason to it too)? If the user hits the browser stop button, it may abort the process in the server if you have the PHP option ignore_user_abort option set to off. Other than that I do not see any other problem. AJAX can be a little complicated if you have to code all the Javascript by hand. You may want to try this forms class that comes with an AJAX form submission plug-in. http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration Even if you do not need to submit any forms, the AJAX plug-in can be used to do what you need without having to learn Javascript to implement a browser independent AJAX solution. Take a look at this live example that shows how to give progress feedback of a task running on the server: http://www.meta-language.net/forms-examples.html?example=test_ajax_form -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If I want conditional statements to display HTML and/or loop through arrays, why would I want to do it in smarty tags? Instead of moving display away from logic, it just replaces the logic with a different language. When I use templates I pretty much want variable substitution. My next project I'll probably use HTML files with little bits of PHP echos etc... sprinkled throughout. I prefer content formatting encapsulation as provided by custom tags.
