Like I said, remaining back-level with software or an OS it's a matter of need or choice. Sometime both are heavily influenced by time and money. Not upgrading something to PHP5 due to lack of manpower is not incompetent at all, it's reality. Seconded. I never deployed PHP4 having 'come on board' just as PHP5 was reaching RC stage so I started with that in the field, but I STILL have to watch that the code that I'm writing in other projects is PHP4 compatible. Most of what I'm doing now was originally working on Builder5/6 code - and code written in the mid 90's is STILL in use in the field. No time to 'upgrade' and no incentive since the customers are more than happy. So 4 years is nothing in IT terms :) I'm was a heavy lobbyist for getting PHP4 killed off, but THAT is more to do with getting PHP6 out the door. Something that is going to be much more useful even for an 'only English speaking' user. The number of time I cut and past overseas addresses only to find the address label is unusable! :( Ascii is fine for internal coding, but for real world data .. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] case and accent - insensitive regular expression?
First of all thank you all for your answers, and thank you for your time
and yes Tedd, my question was quite ambiguous in that point.
Andrew is right, i don't want to change in any way the list of keys I
show in the result, I just want to find the way to higlight the
matching words, regardless of their accent variations.
So I think his Andrew's suggestion could be a good solution, and I'll
try it ASAP...
let me se if i correctly understood:
$search = preg_quote($word); -- quotes chars that could be intrepreted
like regex special chars
$search = str_replace('e', '[eèéêë]', $search); -- trasforms i.e.
cafe in caf[eèéêë], so matches all the accented variations
return preg_replace('/\b' ... -- replaces all the occurences adding
the tags, you use \b as word boundary, right?
it seems a fine soultion to the problem!
the only thing i must add is, befor calling highlight_search_terms, to
'normalize' the word string ( the word used for the search) to
transform it removing the accentated versions of the chars:
$word = preg_replace('[èé]{1}','e',$word);
$word = preg_replace('[à]{1}','a',$word);
that because also the search string could contain an accented char,
and this way I avoid to perform str_replace in the
highlight_search_terms function for every combination of accented chars
well, i think I'm on the good way now, unfortunately I have some other
urgent work and can't try it immediately, but I'll let you know:)
thank you!
Giulio
I may be mistaken (and if I am, then just ignore this as ignorant
rambling), but I don't think he's wanting to replace the accented
characters in the original string. I think he's just wanting the
pattern to find all variations of the same string and highlight them
without changing them. For example, his last paragraph would look
like
this:
[quote]
now my problem is to find a way ( I imagine with some kind of regular
expression ) to achieve in php a search and replace
accent-insensitive, so that i can find the word 'span
class=keysearchcafe/span' in a string also if it is 'span
class=keysearchcafé/span', or 'span
class=keysearchCAFÉ/span', or 'span
class=keysearchCAFE/span', and vice-versa.
[/quote]
The best I can think of right now is something like this:
?php
function highlight_search_terms($word, $string) {
$search = preg_quote($word);
$search = str_replace('a', '[aàáâãäå]', $search);
$search = str_replace('e', '[eèéêë]', $search);
/* repeat for each possible accented character */
return preg_replace('/\b' . $search . '\b/i', 'span
class=keysearch$0/span', $string);
}
$string = now my problem is to find a way ( I imagine with some kind
of regular expression ) to achieve in php a search and replace
accent-insensitive, so that i can find the word 'cafe' in a string
also if it is 'café', or 'CAFÉ', or 'CAFE', and vice-versa.;
echo highlight_search_terms('cafe', $string);
?
Andrew
Andrew:
You may be right -- it's ambiguous now that I review it again. He
does say search and replace but I'm not sure if that's what he
really wants. It looks more like search with one string and
highlight all like-strings.
Cheers,
tedd

I was intrigued by your example, so I played around with it some more
this morning. My own quick web search yielded a lot of results for
highlighting search terms, but none that I found did what you're
after. (I admit I didn't look very deep.) I was up to something like
this before your reply came in. It's still by no means complete. It
even handles simple English plurals (words ending in 's' or 'es'), but
not variations that require changing the word base (like 'daisy' to
'daisies').

Re: [PHP] case and accent - insensitive regular expression?
Brilliant !!!
so you replace every occurence of every accent variation with all the
accent variations...
OK, that's it!
only some more doubts ( regex are still an headhache for me... )
preg_replace('/[iìíîïĩīĭįı]/iu',... -- what's the meaning of
iu after the match string?
preg_replace('/[aàáâãäåǻāăą](?!e)/iu',... whats (?!e) for?
-- every occurence of aàáâãäåǻāăą NOT followed by e?
Many thanks again for your effort,
I'm definitely on the good way

[PHP] Math Weirdness
I am totally buffaloed by a set of very simple calculations that I am
doing;
/* calculate total balance with payments and adjustments */
$totalBalance = $acct['BALANCE'] + $adjBalance;
echo number_format($totalBalance, 2, '.', '').\t;
/* calculate total charges */
$totalCharges = $intlLDCharges + $longDistance + $smsCharges +
$daCharges + $totalData + $roaming;
echo number_format($totalCharges, 2, '.', '').\t;
/*
* calculate difference between total balance and total charges
* if the amount matches the ending balance then all is OK
* if not calculate the difference
*/
$totBalDiff = $totalBalance - $totalCharges;
if($totBalDiff === $endingBal){
echo OK\t;
} else {
/* what is the difference between the ending balance and
the charges? */
$totChargeDiff = $endingBal - $totalCharges;
echo number_format($totChargeDiff, 2, '.', '').\t;
}
Each number represented by a variable in all of these calculations has
been rounded to 2 decimal points at the point they are generated. For
the most part this works just hunky-dory but I have a handful of calcs
(out of 300k plus records) that look like this
$endingBal 0.10
$totalBalance 0.30
$totalCharges 0.20
$totalChargeDiff-0.10
The balance minus the charges does equal the ending balance as it should
but it is saying that it doesn't and that there a 20 cent swing (-0.10
is 20 cents different than 0.10).
I must be missing something. When I echo out raw data I do not see
negative signs. Does anyone have any insight as to what might be
happening here?

What makes you think the problem is in this code? How about doing the
following right before the block of code you've provided so that we can
actually check the data with what you're using:
?php
echo '$acct[BALANCE]: '.$acct[BALANCE].\n;
echo '$adjBalance: '.$adjBalance.\n;
echo '$intlLDCharges: '.$intlLDCharges.\n;
echo '$longDistance: '.$longDistance.\n;
echo '$smsCharges: '.$smsCharges.\n;
echo '$roaming: '.$roaming.\n;
echo '$daCharges: '.$daCharges.\n;
echo '$totalData: '.$totalData.\n;
echo '$endingBal: '.$endingBal.\n;
?

preg_replace('/[iìíîïĩīĭįı]/iu',... -- what's the meaning of iu after the

This page explains them both.

preg_replace('/[aàáâãäåǻāăą](?!e)/iu',... whats (?!e) for? -- every
occurence of aàáâãäåǻāăą NOT followed by e?
Yes. It matches any character based on the latin 'a' that is not
followed by an 'e'. It keeps the pattern from matching the 'a' when it
immediately precedes an 'e' for the character 'ae' for words like
these:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_words_that_may_be_spelled_with_a_ligature
(However, that may cause problems with words that have other variants
of 'ae' in them. I'll leave that to you to resolve.)

I was intrigued by your example, so I played around with it some more
this morning. My own quick web search yielded a lot of results for
highlighting search terms, but none that I found did what you're
after. (I admit I didn't look very deep.) I was up to something like
this before your reply came in. It's still by no means complete. It
even handles simple English plurals (words ending in 's' or 'es'), but
not variations that require changing the word base (like 'daisy' to
'daisies').
?php
function highlight_search_terms($phrase, $string) {
$non_letter_chars = '/[^\pL]/iu';
$words = preg_split($non_letter_chars, $phrase);
$search_words = array();
foreach ($words as $word) {
if (strlen($word) 2 !preg_match($non_letter_chars, $word)) {
$search_words[] = $word;
}
}
$search_words = array_unique($search_words);
foreach ($search_words as $word) {
$search = preg_quote($word);
/* repeat for each possible accented character */
$search = preg_replace('/(ae|æ|ǽ)/iu', '(ae|æ|ǽ)', $search);
$search = preg_replace('/(oe|œ)/iu', '(oe|œ)', $search);

RE: [PHP] Math Weirdness

[PHP] mkdir permission errors
Hi, Guys:
I have a very strange incident here that may seem very stupid. Since the
power went out last night, I have restarted my server. However, now the
permission is never working right. I have set the permission of my htdocs
folder iof my Apache server to 0755, and then started executing the following.
$id=$_REQUEST['id'];
$filename = /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test;
if (file_exists($filename)) {
mkdir(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/test/$id, 0777) or die (pCannot create
directory/p);
chmod(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/test/$id, 0777);
mkdir(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/test/$id/contours, 0755) or die
(pCannot create directory/p);
chmod (/usr/local/apache/htdocs/test/$id/contours,0777);
mkdir (/usr/local/apache/htdocs//$id/beamdata, 0777) or die (pCannot
create directory/p);
mkdir(/usr/local/apache/htdocs//$id/schemadata, 0777) or die
(pCannot create directory/p);
mkdir(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/$id/plandata, 0777) or die (pCannot
create directory/p);
}
else {
mkdir(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/test, 0777) or die (pCannot create
directory http://192.168.10.63/TPU/p);
}
However, the error always bumped me with Cannot create directory
http://192.168.10.63/test.
I went into my error logs, and it continuously give me this:
[Mon Jul 14 14:51:07 2008] [error] [client 192.168.10.63] PHP Warning: mkdir()
[a href='function.mkdir'function.mkdir/a]: Permission denied in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/file_linux.php on line 23
Can anyone please give me a hint on what could be wrong here? I have set my
parent directory to 0755 already.
Thanks in advance.

Each number represented by a variable in all of these calculations has
been rounded to 2 decimal points at the point they are generated. For
the most part this works just hunky-dory but I have a handful of calcs
(out of 300k plus records) that look like this
$endingBal0.10
$totalBalance 0.30
$totalCharges 0.20
$totalChargeDiff -0.10
The balance minus the charges does equal the ending balance as it should
but it is saying that it doesn't and that there a 20 cent swing (-0.10
is 20 cents different than 0.10).
I must be missing something. When I echo out raw data I do not see
negative signs. Does anyone have any insight as to what might be
happening here?
From whence do you conjure $endingBal?
Most likely this is just a floating point imprecision problem. In
otherwords, you need a small delta of error when doing the following
comparison:
if( $totBalDiff === $endingBal )
Remember, floating point numbers do not always store perfectly. So you
want something like:
if( abs( $totalBalDiff - $endingBal ) .01 )
Also that last echo:
echo number_format($totChargeDiff, 2, '.', '')
Was calculated with:
$totChargeDiff = $endingBal - $totalCharges;
Whereas the initial conditional checks:
$totBalDiff === $endingBal
And $totBalDiff was calculated as:
$totBalDiff = $totalBalance - $totalCharges;
So again... from whence do you conjure $endingBal? :)
Cheers,
Rob.

RE: [PHP] mkdir permission errors
Hi,
The apache is running currently on root as the user.
The parent directory, test, is set to 0755.
I have no problems making new directories directly from the terminal prompt,
and it does not give me user execution errors like the one in the following.
I am getting confused with why I can create directories now no longer
through the PHP but only through the command prompt manually.
Does this give you information on what my problem might be?

I don't quite understand your problem, but I use integers for any monetary

No, the values are there and correct (it is done with a snapshot). The
correct numbers are being used in the math (as shown). When I do
this(as you suggested);
if(abs($totBalDiff - $endingBal) .01){
echo OK\t;
} else {
/* what is the difference between the ending balance and
the charges? */
$totChargeDiff = $endingBal - $totalCharges;
echo number_format($totChargeDiff, 2, '.', '').\t;
}
You can see the abs value difference is extremely small and it causes
things to work as expected. 0.1 should be equal to 0.1

Isn't it possible then that your data is out of synch between the
current balance and the previous day's ending balance?
[/snip]
No, the values are there and correct (it is done with a snapshot). The
correct numbers are being used in the math (as shown). When I do
this(as you suggested);
if(abs($totBalDiff - $endingBal) .01){
echo OK\t;
} else {
/* what is the difference between the ending balance and
the charges? */
$totChargeDiff = $endingBal - $totalCharges;
echo number_format($totChargeDiff, 2, '.', '').\t;
}
You can see the abs value difference is extremely small and it causes
things to work as expected. 0.1 should be equal to 0.1
So does that mean your problem is solved?
Cheers,
Rob.

I must be missing something. When I echo out raw data I do not see negative signs. Does anyone have any insight as to what might be happening here? Sounds like rounding errors. Please note that the php rounding function (like all rounding functions) is not accurate. You can write one that is more accurate -- like I did -- but, to see any real difference you have to be dealing with millions of calculations. Round-off errors normally don't enter into things unless your doing multiplication and division operations. At that point, what you get back from the operation is an approximation and not the actual number. The difference between the sums of all the approximations the the sums of all the calculations you do manually IS going to be different. The difference depends upon how accurate the machines' operations are and in what order the calculations are performed, which is probably the reason for the differences you see here using php to do both, but in different order.

[PHP] Should I go with the Singleton Pattern or wait for 5.3?
Hello, I'm planning out a simple project and most probably I will need the functionality provided by the Singleton pattern. However with the next 5.3 release I would be able to conveniently use classes directly without instancing them. This would be a comparable option thanks to late state binding and the possibility to reference the class using a variable. What path do you suggest I should take? I can wait for the 5.3 release since I'm not in a hurry. I would like to hear your opinions in particular regarding the performance and code maintainability aspects.

Well it depends... if that is the exact parent where you are making the new directory then it should work. But it's not... you are doing it in the subdirectory test, or test/$id or test/$id/$somethingelse. It seems to do it recursively: chown -R apache:apache htdocs Note: this will recursively descend into htdocs and change the permissions on every file directory and file found. You may want to limit this to directories only: chown apache:apache htdocs cd htdocs chown apache:apache `find -type d` You may not want this level of ownership change at all. You might just want to target the appropriate directories. In which case issue chown for each directory in question.

RE: [PHP] mkdir permission errors

I still get Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Permission denied in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/file_linux.php on line 27 Is this what I should be having in my ownership of the files? Well it depends... if that is the exact parent where you are making the new directory then it should work. But it's not... you are doing it in the subdirectory test, or test/$id or test/$id/$somethingelse. It seems to do it recursively: chown -R apache:apache htdocs Note: this will recursively descend into htdocs and change the permissions on every file directory and file found. You may want to limit this to directories only: chown apache:apache htdocs cd htdocs chown apache:apache `find -type d` You may not want this level of ownership change at all. You might just want to target the appropriate directories. In which case issue chown for each directory in question.

The problem is, they can create their own rules that cost the customer a fortune, and still somehow complain that they need to have rates cut, raised, or otherwise modified so that they can make more of a profit. I have to empathize with them, though. I don't know how I'd survive if I was someone like former Wachovia CEO Ken Thompson, who only got a $7 Million bonus in 2004 (in addition to $11.1 Million in salary, stock, et cetera). And speaking of Wachovia, using them by example, the audacity isn't even masked: Shares of Wachovia dropped as much as 11 percent to their lowest level since 1991 after the bank said it might lose as much as $2.8 billion in the second quarter. It declined to offer specifics on how it plans to reduce balance sheet risk or whether it needs more capital or might again cut the dividend. Wachovia said it approached [Robert] Steel for the [position of CEO], offering him a package that could total $38.1 million in salary, bonus and other awards in his first year. I'm no genius (despite what MENSA may say ;-P), but if I was so horribly worried about how to begin cutting expenses, the first thing I'd do is STOP RAISING @$#%ING SALARIES. If I even got a cost of living increase, I'd be happy but if I got an exorbitant cost of living increase in the millions, you wouldn't hear me complain. And I'm sure many of you remember when Exxon Mobil CEO Lee Raymond retired in December of 2006. Despite rising gas and oil prices, he was compensated more than $686 million from 1993 to 2005, according to an analysis done for the New York Times by Brian Foley, an independent compensation consultant. That is $144,573 for each day he spent leading Exxon's God pod, as the executive suite at the company's headquarters in Irving, Texas, is known. Despite the company's performance, some shareholders, academics, corporate governance experts and consumer groups were taken aback when they learned for the first time this week the details of Raymond's total compensation package, including the more than $400 million he received in his final year at the company. That's as far OT as I'm going, but it's worth noting how regulation doesn't do shit if it's not enforced. -- /Daniel P.

This is the output I have got from using your script.
I have made a following quick change:

Not surprisingly, I am still not able to make a new directory using PHP with

The root user trumps all ownerships and permissions and can do as it pleases. Also, it may be that some of your directory creations are succeeding, while others are failing, depending on the parent directory in which you are attempting to create a sub-directory. You need to simplify the problem, and focus on a single problem directory. Find one directory creation that is failing from the webserver. Then let's deal with it. Determine this single directory that fails due to permissions violations. Then on the shell change to the parent directory. Once there type: ls -al Note the output and the owner/group names. Please post the output. The . directory is the parent directory when you are within the parent itself.
