[PHP] file_exists() not working correctly?
Good morning list,
I have a _very_ simple function... it is as follows
/**/
function getgalimage($fzg) {
$folder = bilder;
$imgname= $fzg._1.JPG;
$checkimg = $folder./.$imgname;
if(file_exists($checkimg)) {
//echo 'img
src=mod_search_thumbs.php?bild='.$imgname.'fzg_nr='.$fzg.'';
echo 'img src='.$checkimg.'';
} else {
echo 'div style=display:block; padding:2px; border:1px
solid red;a href='.$checkimg.''.$checkimg.'/a/div';
}
}
/**/
Now, the folder bilder exists, and I pass the number 0002822 to the
function. Now it should check whether the image file bilder/0002822_1.JPG
exists. It never finds the image, even though it exists (I checked it many
times now)
Could you point out the obvious mistake I am making here? I have checked it
over and over again, and can't find any mistake. I know that sometimes you
get stuck in your code, and don't see the obvious. So I'd like to ask you
all to show me my error :o) I hope you can see something which I can't.
Thanks for your help!!

Re: [PHP] file_exists() not working correctly?
That worked like a charm. Now, can you tell me why that exact same function works with a relative path on another server and with a full path only on this server? I am glad that it works, but would also like to understand why :o) Could be different document roots for apache, different environment settings, lots of things. If you have a config variable for the base folder of your app, try to use that. If you don't, then work out the path relative to the file this function is in. $mydir = dirname(__FILE__); $path_to_folder = $mydir . '/../../images/'; That way it's relative to the file the function is in and you don't have to change it each time you put it on a new server. -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Govinda wrote:

Watch out for this!
You're doing a test that is an assignment..
You are assigning the value .jpg to the variable $file. You are
then comparing this to the value true and (due to the loose variable
types) this succeeds.
Although some people consider it ugly, it is a *very* good practice to
put the constants on the left hand side of the comparison like so:
if (true == (.jpg=$file)) {
I've kept your error above, but if you try and run this code, you will
get a syntax error.
The correct comparison is to do:
if (true == (.jpg==$file)) {
Note the double ='s signs.
As you have VB experiences, this is different, but follows the
conventions of a lot of languages (C, C++, C# etc.). VB inferred whether
you wanted assignment or comparison depending on the context, but this
came at the expense of not being able to nest complex statements.
Of course your example above could probably have been achieved by doing
if (file_exists(.jpg)) {
but that's beside the point :)

Re: [PHP] newbie Q: How to say, if the fileNAME is equal to..., or better yet, if the fileNAME ends with '.jpg'?
2008/8/24 Govinda [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
$ThisDir = getcwd()./thumbs;
$DirHandle = opendir($ThisDir);
if ($DirHandle = opendir($ThisDir)) {
echo Directory handle: $DirHandle\n;
echo Files:br /hr width=\25\%\ align=\left\ /;
while ((false !== ($file = readdir($DirHandle))) 1) {
if (true == ($file=.jpg)) {
echo $filebr /;
}
}
closedir($DirHandle);
}
But instead of printing only the name of the file which is equal to
.jpg, it seems to actually set the value of $file to .jpg on
each iteration of the while loop, so what I get is a list of files all
having the same name (.jpg) and their number is equal to the actual
number of files in that dir (plus 2 - for the . and .. files).
How to say, if the fileNAME is equal to..., or better yet, if the
fileNAME ends with '.jpg'?
Hi, you've had a lot of responses to issues in your code snippet. I'm
just here to point out - for the sake of the archives, really - that
there are at least two more approaches you could take. PHP is one of
those languages where there's more than one way to do most things.
?php
$path = './thumbs/' . sql_regcase ( '*.jpg' );
foreach ( glob( $path ) as $filename )
{
echo {$filename}br/;
}
You can check the manual for full details, but briefly, sql_regcase()
returns a case-insensitive regular expression, and glob() returns an
array of filenames that match the path given to it (in this case
./thumbs/*.jpg).
?php
$dir = new DirectoryIterator( './thumbs/' );
foreach( $dir as $file )
{
if ( preg_match( /jpg$/i, $file-getFilename() ) )
{
echo $file-getFilename() . br/;
}
}
In this one, we're iterating over a DirectoryIterator object
(http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/class.directoryiterator.php) instead of
the output of glob(). RecursiveDirectoryIterator also exists, which
allows you to traverse an entire tree, rather than just one directory.
You've already been pointed to preg_match(), so I won't explain that one again.

if (stripos(strrev($file), gpj.) === 0) {

note the ===, 3 equals signs here is very important! check the docs
for why.
== means 'equals', and === means 'is identical to'.
Seems like they would do the same thing when comparing '0' to 'the
position in the string where that substr is found'. Why not?
0 can mean false in php:
indeed, php is dynamically typed and happily auto-casts all of the place
without issue ... this can bite you in the ass if your not aware of how
php auto-casts various types, and which types have precendence.
the manual should help, additionally test your assumptions regularly on the
cmdline
with snippets like:
php -r ' var_dump(( == false), (1 == 1), (two == 1), (two == false));'
using === o test equality force type to be checked as well as 'content' of
the given LH and RH expressions.
$found = 0;
if (!$found) {
echo File not found;
}
If a substr comparison matches at char 0:
$string = '12345';
$pos = substr($string, '1');
then without the '===' it would give the wrong result as $pos would be
converted to false in this example.

}
}

For publicly-declared variables, do you access the attribute directly
or use an accessor?

For publicly-declared variables, do you access the attribute
directly or use an accessor?
If it's a public member variable there is no need for plain accessor
methods - they add no value. I feel the same about private variables
with plain get and set accessors, there's just no point unless the
accessors are doing more than setting and getting the internal variable.

Re: [PHP] Re: concatenating with . or ,
I would guess that using the comma would be faster, as Thiago mentioned. It's just a blind dump of what's in those strings and it dumps the values in sequence directly to the output. A concatenation actually involves temporary memory space for holding value A and value B then possibly a third memory space as a working area of the size strlen(value A) + strlen(value B).. possibly extra operations to figure out the strlen() of each then create the third memory space, etc, etc.. (actual way PHP handles this is unknown to me... just giving a theoretical example). echo This, is a , test; // blinding dumps each string to output echo This . is a . test; // Creates a string This is a test then dumps it to output But as always, the best way to find out is to create a script to perform the operations a couple thousand times each and record the times. -TG - Original Message - From: Thiago Melo de Paula [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Yeti [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 11:07:41 -0300 Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: concatenating with . or , Hello Yeti!

So it is faster to output various strings using the , instead of .?
Sara Golemon (one of the PHP devs) once wrote an article which covers
(amongst others) this:
http://blog.libssh2.org/index.php?/archives/28-How-long-is-a-piece-of-string.html
The bottom point: using a comma is slightly faster and uses slightly
less memory (which may or not be significant, depending on the situation).
Do note though, that the ORDER of execution is different when comparing
echo a().b().c(); vs. echo a(),b(),c() !! (with concatenation it will
first execute ALL functions, and THEN concatenate them together. With
commas it will start left, execute, output, and then continue to the
right.). If you directly send something to the output from within those
functions, you'll notice it. If you only return a string from it, you
won't. :)
so:
?php
function a() {
echo 'a';
return 'a';
}
function b() {
echo 'b';
return 'b';
}
echo a().b(); // will return: abab (function a called, outputs a.
Return value stored. function b called, outputs b. Return value stored.
The two return values are concatenated, and sent to output)
echo \n;
echo a(),b(); // will return aabb (function a called, outputs a.
Return value is also immediately sent to output. function b called,
outputs b. Return value is also immediately sent to output)
I hope that clears it up a bit.

Re: [PHP] Auto-generating a graphs Y scale
First, the y scale is the one that runs up and down and not right to left. :-) Yes I know. Second, the physical length of the y scale should be static and whatever you want it to be (i.e., 5 inches, 10 inches, etc.). That gives a poor range IMO. JPGraph generates one which is better, since it doesn't correspond exactly to the highest value. For example for a bar graph with the value 2,6,7,7,4,8,7 it would (might) go from one to ten and then plot appropriate marks. This is really what I want to achieve.

with PHP4. Now with the __get and __set built-in accessors, that's
pretty much taken care of.
I access directly to avoid pointless method calls for reads. It'd be
nice if there were a way to define a public read-only mode,
Not tried this, but you may be able to do it with a __get method that
doesn't return anything.

Oh it'd be possible, but all this does is distract me from the purpose
of my code. I am easily distracted though seeing as I'm writing this
out in the first place! :) A simple note in the docs saying this is
read only is enough for me. You'd have to put a note in there about
how it will throw an exception upon write anyways. *shrug* But again
these are very specific pieces of code that are getting public
properties.
This goes in line with all the other coding practices I try to use.
Registry over singleton, notification queue over direct observer, etc.
Let something else do the heavy lifting when possible.
class readonlytest {
private $readonly = array('meh');
private $meh = 'meh value';
public $blah;
private function __get($name) {
if (in_array($name, $this-readonly)) {
return $this-{$name};
}
}
private function __set($name, $value) {
if (in_array($name, $this-readonly)) {
throw new Exception(The property {$name} is read
only);
}
$this-{$name} = $value;
}
}
$test = new readonlytest;
echo Pre-blah:;
var_dump($test-blah);
$test-blah = 'blah';
echo Post-blah:;
var_dump($test-blah);
echo Reading meh:;
var_dump($test-meh);
try {
$test-meh = 'meh';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo Exception:;
var_dump($e);
}
var_dump($test-meh);
But why would I want to clutter up my class with that nonsense?
Output:
Pre-blah:
null
Post-blah:
string 'blah' (length=4)
Reading meh:
string 'meh value' (length=9)
Exception:
object(Exception)[2]
protected 'message' = string 'The property meh is only' (length=24)
private 'string' = string '' (length=0)
protected 'code' = int 0
protected 'file' = string '/Users/eric/Sites/blah.php' (length=26)

private 'trace' =
array
0 =

'file' = string '/Users/eric/Sites/blah.php' (length=26)

[PHP] APC vs. eaccelerator?
Hi All, I currently run a phpBB site using phpBB v. 2.0.22 and PHP4. We'd like to install either APC or eaccelerator to speed up the site's performance. I'm not sure whether we should choose APC or eaccelerator since I'm a newbie to PHP caching. Which do you think is better - APC or eacclerator? Here are some criteria that I'd like to use in evaluating APC vs. eacclerator: 1) compatibility, 2) stability and 3) speed. Some older posts on the net (from 2006) complained about incompatibilities between APC/eacclerator and phpBB and about crashes of APC/eacclerator. I'm hoping that these problems have been cleared up by now. Thanks for your help! David

Re: [PHP] Auto-generating a graphs Y scale
At 3:52 PM +0100 8/25/08, Richard Heyes wrote: First, the y scale is the one that runs up and down and not right to left. :-) Yes I know. Second, the physical length of the y scale should be static and whatever you want it to be (i.e., 5 inches, 10 inches, etc.). That gives a poor range IMO. JPGraph generates one which is better, since it doesn't correspond exactly to the highest value. For example for a bar graph with the value 2,6,7,7,4,8,7 it would (might) go from one to ten and then plot appropriate marks. This is really what I want to achieve. But it should be able to accommodate all sorts of values, from small to large. -- Richard Heyes Richard: There's no poor, nor good, range for that. If it was me I might take the maximum x and y coordinates and use values that are 10 percent larger for the axis. The goodness or poorness depends upon the data and how well that data is shown for evaluation. The point is that the way to create a graph is to figure out the maximum values, determined from the points, and then create axis to show that.

$var = blah blah;

One of the other things about this list is that sometimes people

It's not that big of a deal to set up a test to show which is faster.
So, if you would like to know, then write a test for it.

I'm trying to build a queue out using FIFO files (someone on the MySQL
list suggested checking them out instead of using the database), but
I'm running into a problem because of the synchronous fwrite call.
Here's the code:
$fifoFile = '/tmp/fifo';
if (!file_exists($fifoFile)) {
posix_mkfifo($fifoFile, 0600);
}
$fp = fopen($fifoFile, w);
fwrite($fp, content);
fclose($fp);
But this will block until something actually reads the pipe. Is there
any way to write to the pipe, then go away as opposed to waiting until
something consumes it? Otherwise, I may just go back to a database
table.
Thanks,
Waynn

Fifo nodes are equivalent to a pipe (|) and have no size on the file
system and therefore the write won't finish until some process reads
from the node. See the man page http://linux.die.net/man/7/fifo .
Wow, my mail client filtered these responses so I only just noticed them--I
thought there were no responses. Thanks for letting me know, I ended up
