 The opposite might be true of user
 code though as developers become presumptive of the compiler doing their
 work for them :)

Like PHP... which does absolutely no optimizations.

You must not be using an optimizer. It may not be PHP specifically
performing the optimization, but that's the beauty of PHP and how it
allows extensions to hook into the engine at such a low level.

Hi,

 I don't think that one is quite right... Your optionals (?) are
 confusing. Why [0-3]?[0-9] AND the \d?

No reason.

 Why [0-9] at all (since \d is
 essentially [0-9])?

Again, no reason.

 Why use the discarded capture group (?:) since the
 [0-3] is already optional?

It makes it look more like gibberish?

This is slightly OT but I honestly don't know what else I can do.

I was asked to migrate a website from diff hosts. Okay, pretty easy, right?
Well, as usual, it wasn't.

Site pages content type was ISO-8559-1 and it was developed for a MySQL5
database that used latin1 as charset and InnoDB as storage system. Pretty
normal and ran smoothly.

The client database is a old 4.0 MySQL that (I'm not sure if they're just
disabled but it) doesn't have InnoDB and latin1. So I'm stuck with MyISAM
and UTF8. No, they can't change it - their hosting want them to migrate to
MSSQL and they can't switch hosts for whatever reason.

After I uploaded the files and ran it, my HTML files displayed correctly but
all accented chars that came from DB were displayed with weird chars, as I
imagined it would.

I then set my html content type to UTF-8 and I also had problems, but in
backwards this time - DB values were OK and website content was bad.

I couldn't find any good function/script to convert all my files to UTF-8
and then I built my own. It uses iconv and works like a charm. But
unfortunately I still can't get all pages to work. I have no idea why or
how, but *some* queries return the text in ISO-8859-1. I even dropped the
table and recreated them explictly saying it's a UTF8 table but some rows
are in ISO and others in UTF-8 (that or some mysql_fetch_* functions
converts them).

It's been 2 days and I still can't see a solution. I even thougth of adding
utf_decode on all of mysql_fetch* results, but I didn't build this website
so I don't feel like adding that in *every* call (it doesn't have a wrapper
for mysql_* functions).

So, I'm here to humbly ask for your help. What can be wrong?

PHP Version is 4.4.8

Thanks,


you could simply dump the database via the command line, utf8_encode the 
generated sql file, then drop it back in (?)

I was hoping to do some logic in a script, and then pass the results of that

variables as get parameters to the iframe, though?  In other words, if I
have something like this:

iframe src=http://example.com/?accesseverything=true;

it instead?

Yeah, it might make it into IE 9 but you know when Microsoft first  
introduces it it will draw the graphs upside down and backwards... And  
then we will have to come up with a hack to get it to flip it back the

The answer as I see it is 27.

While we both agree that elongated stream, retroactive synapse, 
and value chain are false computer terms, there are three that you 
apparently don't know. Would you care point those out so we can 
discuss them?


This reminds me of a survey I conducted in the late 80's where I had 
section of computer terms for people to indicate what was familiar, 
or not. The answer of each was either I heard of it, I know it, 
or Huh?


I used that answer to test the truth of the person taking the 
survey. Interesting enough, I found the ratio of truth was equally 
spread between all age groups. In other words, the 20-30, 31-40, 
41-50, 51-60 age groups all had the same ratio of people reporting a 
false term as I know it.

[PHP] Convert local dates into GMT+1 dates

2008-09-26 Thread debussy007

Hello everyone!

I have local dates (Belgium), which I want to convert to GMT+1 date.
The dates are stored in the DB and are of the following format:  '2008-06-24
23:30:02'

So I think I'll need to check wether the date in DB is GMT+1 or GMT+2
(winter or summer),
if date is GMT+2, subtract one hour from the date.

Thank you for any help achieving this !!

Surely this shouldn't be an issue and that's what timezones are for? if 
your timezone is set up correctly on server then DST will be auto 
handled for you?


get the date as UTC, always store as UTC, then present as whatever 
timezone you want; thus your time is always accurate regardless of DST.

I'm still not fully awake yet, so I won't comment as to a better way,

user can be read and/or modified after they have been sent. If you have
any filenames, URLs, or sensitive data that is used in processing--but
*doesn't* need to be seen by the user or the client machine at any
time--don't output it.

Hello,

On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 9:07 AM, Daniel Jaeger  wrote:

 I had similar problems, I cant get the whole situation out of what you
 wrote but here are two hints.

 If you got SSH Access you can try to import the DB by following command


I don't have SSH access :/


 Otherwise if you can't access the server on this way you can set the whole
 DB connection on the PHP application to the wanted charset by using
 following function mysql_set_charset - but as this one just works on PHP
 5.2.3 you can do the same (not recommendet way) over the Set names
 MysqlQuery - this Query just needs to be run after the connection has been
 established (mysql_connect()).


Tried without success.

 Just have a look at the doc of the mysql_set_charset function there you see
 on the third comment a implementation of this function for all who have an
 earlier PHP Version than 5.2.3 (
 http://de3.php.net/manual/de/function.mysql-set-charset.php)

 Hope I could help.


Actually all the responses did help. While I was researching I figured some
weird stuff. I tried MySQL 4.0 examples for CAST() and CONVERT() and all I
got were syntax errors. This DB is broke.



 Cheers
 Daniel


I did the following:

1) Extract the DB script from the working one;
2) Manually added CHARSET=utf8 for each create table;
3) Converted this script to UTF8 and opened with a ANSI reader and all the
accented chars got funny. Great! That's what I wanted.
4) Applied the script into the database and more frustration. *Some* lines
were in utf8 and some in latin1.

I can only imagine the hosting is forcing this kind of behaviour so the
client has to switch DBMS. (I don't see how, but well).

I'm still trying and researching. If anyone else have any idea, please
reply.

Thanks everyone!

 Hi,
 
 As a follow up, I've just switched from Paypal to Google Checkout.
 Setup was quick and pain free (easily less than 2 hours), and I would
 recommend it (so far). Like other people have said though, it's just
 UK and USA at the moment.

Googly Checkout can not be use in over 80 countries...
(Three of then are used by my with PayPal)

There is not a singel advantage @Google except your finacial outing

 I've done stuff like this before but it is way too slow to be used on
 anything other than a manager screen (that isn't used much).  I'd
 recommend creating another column that sets your data up correctly for

 and the fact that it appears that PayPal is now selectively
choosing to up their prices and charge variable amounts per
transaction.  I had noticed it before, but going through and auditing
my corporate balances this morning, I found out that PayPal is
charging 3.9% + $0.30 on some transactions --- higher than their
maximum advertised fee of 2.9% + $0.30.

I've been a PayPal customer since X.com - about nine years.  And I
have to admit, even though it's still my preferred payment method,
eBay buying it out years ago screwed everything to high hell.

On the flip-side, I received a $2,000 payment that only incurred a
$5 fee, so I guess I can't complain too loudly but I still will.

Just a heads-up you may want to look over your transactions
and calculate your fees over the last ten days or so.

Can you confirm: are you telling your PHP connection into MySQL to use
Unicode? e.g. tell MySQL directly by executing the following statement:

set names 'utf8'

Also, is some of your data going through htmlentities() and coming out
wrong? If so, look at specifying the character set:

htmlentities($someText, ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8');

[PHP] Sepating MySQL result set into html tables

2008-09-26 Thread Thodoris

Hello everybody,
   I have a mysql result set that I want to print out in an html table. 
But some times it gets so big that I will probably need to separate it 
in to multiple ones. I wrote a function that separates the result set 
into three ones like this:


function showTable($columnNames,$data,$alignment,$wrap) {
  
   $limit = round(count($data)/3,0);
  
   $align = 
array('l'='align=left','c'='align=center','r'='align=right');


   $table = table class='inner';


   $table .= tabletrtdtable class='inner';

   $table .= tr;
   foreach ($columnNames as $col_name){
   $table .= th.$col_name./th;
   }
   $table .= /tr\n;

   foreach ($data as $j = $row) {

   if(($j % 2) == 0){
   $table .= tr class=even;
   } else {
   $table .= tr class=odd;
   }
   for($i=0;$icount($row);$i++){

   $table .= td .$wrap. 
.$align[$alignment[$i]]..$row[$i]./td;


   }

   $table .= /tr\n;

   if (($j == $limit-1) || ($j == (2*$limit)-1)) {
   $table .= /table/tdtdtable;
   $table .= tr;
   foreach ($columnNames as $col_name){
   $table .= th.$col_name./th;
   }
   $table .= /tr\n;
   }
   }
   $table .= '/table/td/tr';
   $table .= /table\n;
   print $table;
}


But I really need to tell the function in how many tables I need the 
result set to be separated. How can I do this?


What can I put instead of this for 3 tables: (($j == $limit-1) || ($j == 
(2*$limit)-1))


I can't find the algorithm although I think I have done this before but 
I can't remember how.

@Richard:

I'm using both, META and header. I didn't know IE6 had issues with header(),

About UTF8, if you have text in ISO (latin1) and tell the browser it's a

Why not just use LIMIT in your query and make several?

Why do you need to split the data into multiple tables, anyway?


   $table = table class='inner';

   $table .= tabletrtdtable class='inner';


That's going to give you badly-formatted HTML.

This speaks volumes -- That's right, YOU PAY NOTHING for the Authorize.net
license.

Funny thing, I didn't realize that there was a license, and if there is, no
one else charges for it either.  There may be some eCommerce licensing fees
that some eCommerce providers offer when they bundle everything, that's
probably what they're competing against.  Probably just a marketing ploy.

Their trans fee and per trans rate are average.  24 cents can be high or low
depending on what type of business you have, who you go through, etc.  I
wouldn't pay $8.95 for a statement fee, other people do those free.  The
gateway fee is $15.95, I think you can get that for $9.95 most other places.

I myself don't use Authorize.net.  I use the USA ePay gateway thru BCS
worldwide.  Its comparable, and really, with rates, this all depends on how
high risk your business model is, and your personal credit score and
history.

I see this as nothing more than a slightly unethical marketing ploy.

make
make install

Here all ok.

And next install the php-5.2.6

./configure (... n parameter...) --with-gd=/usr/local/lib
--with-png-dir=/usr/local/bin --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/bin

And don't get any problem, all ok.

But, execute in code php, the command phpinfo(); and see the next result

Configure Command'./configure' ... '--with-freetype-dir=/usr'
'--with-png-dir=/usr' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--without-gdbm'
'--with-gettext' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png' '--without-gd'

And test with code in php var_dump(gd_info()); but nothing.

In cae you are using a prepackaged php you can always do:

yum install php-gd

it will installed everything is need to do this. In case you have 
compliled php you need to recompile it with the current version of gd 
that you just have installed.
In case the current php used to be compiled with a version of gd that

Why not just use LIMIT in your query and make several?


Because this like I am paging with a limit in every table but I need to 
print all the tables into a single page.




Why do you need to split the data into multiple tables, anyway?



Because their columns are just three and if they become long you waste 
space in the page.



   $table = table class='inner';

   $table .= tabletrtdtable class='inner';


That's going to give you badly-formatted HTML.



Yes it will but I will make this better along with other things as long 
as I find the needed algorithm.

Re: [PHP] Sepating MySQL result set into html tables

2008-09-26 Thread admin
Might I suggest you count the fields and divide it by the cols you want to 
display? 

Example:
$forest = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM your_table);
$gump = mysql_num_fields($forest);

Because I know my table contains 15 rows I can do this.
$tulip = floor($gump /5);
I know how many fields to display before row break or create a new table.
May seems extremely simple but works very well for me.

Hello everybody,
I have a mysql result set that I want to print out in an html table. 
But some times it gets so big that I will probably need to separate it

function showTable($columnNames,$data,$alignment,$wrap) {
   
$limit = round(count($data)/3,0);
   
$align = 
array('l'='align=left','c'='align=center','r'='align=right');

$table = table class='inner';


$table .= tabletrtdtable class='inner';

$table .= tr;
foreach ($columnNames as $col_name){
$table .= th.$col_name./th;
}
$table .= /tr\n;

foreach ($data as $j = $row) {

if(($j % 2) == 0){
$table .= tr class=even;
} else {
$table .= tr class=odd;
}
for($i=0;$icount($row);$i++){

$table .= td .$wrap. 
.$align[$alignment[$i]]..$row[$i]./td;

}

$table .= /tr\n;

if (($j == $limit-1) || ($j == (2*$limit)-1)) {
$table .= /table/tdtdtable;
$table .= tr;
foreach ($columnNames as $col_name){
$table .= th.$col_name./th;
}
$table .= /tr\n;
}
}
$table .= '/table/td/tr';
$table .= /table\n;
print $table;
}


But I really need to tell the function in how many tables I need the 
result set to be separated. How can I do this?

What can I put instead of this for 3 tables: (($j == $limit-1) || ($j == 
(2*$limit)-1))

You can count the rows (not the cols) in the result set but you can't 
base your algorithm on that only.


The problem is that if for e.g. you have 91 rows and you want to divide 
it into 3 you will have three chunks of 30 like this:


30, 30, 31


You have a bug if you have 16 rows.

First of all it would help a lot if you changed the way you post.

It really makes a difference what you use to host PHP because 
different compile options are used by different distros. In addition to 
this when you complile yourself from PHP source it adds any feature it 
finds available depending on the system libraries and many other things 
that detects .


FreeBSD ports have their own defaults but you may change them when you 
install the port.


So the answer is simple: Whether you have or not Json depends on the 
distro/OS/system package defaults.


Why don't you tell us what is the system and how you have installed PHP? 
Someone could be more knowledgeable of your system specifics.

The solution is pretty easy, I just don't have time right now to write

Oh sorry I didn't read it close enough.  If $data is already an array
this would be really easy with array_chunk.  Otherwise you just need
to add an extra layer around your main table loop.

   $tulip = floor($gump /5);
   
  
 
  
  You can count the rows (not the cols) in the result set but you can't 
  base your algorithm on that only.
  
  The problem is that if for e.g. you have 91 rows and you want to divide 
  it into 3 you will have three chunks of 30 like this:
  
  30, 30, 31
  
   You have a bug if you have 16 rows.
 
  
  In my case I really don't care in what table the extra row goes.
 
 The solution is pretty easy, I just don't have time right now to write
 it for you. Either way, I would approach the problem inverseley to your
 current solution. Instead of traversing the rows and performing internal
 calculations, I'd calculate the tables and rows needed and then traverse
 that information and in the innermost loop traverse the result set using
 the next() function.

?php

$cells = array( 'First', 'Second' );
$items = array( array( 'one', 'two' ), array( 'one', 'two' ),
array( 'one', 'two' ), array( 'one', 'two' ), array( 'one', 'two' ), arr

$numTables = 3;
$items = array_chunk( $items, ceil( count( $items ) / $numTables ) );

$html = '';
foreach( $items as $tableItems )
{
if( $tableItems )
{
$html .= 'tabletr';

foreach( $cells as $cell )
{
$html .= 'td'.$cell.'/td';
}

$html .= '/tr';

foreach( $tableItems as $rowItems )
{
$html .= 'tr';

foreach( $rowItems as $item )
{
$html .= 'td'.$item.'/td';
}

$html .= '/tr';
}

$html .= '/table';
}
}

?

I changed my mind on how I wanted to do it. Either way... simple
enough :) Adapt to fit your own scenario.

Cheers,
Rob.

Actually, I think the author meant that you already read through those books
and learned those terms,
rather than mean that you are cheating on the test.

As the author recommended you read the books listed below if you are not an
expert yet.

Those recommended books are also added on the interpretation page for your
reference.

 From the interpretation:

20–24   You are an expert programmer. You probably already have
the books listed below on your shelf.

 *lol* Why would probably be applicable in this scenario? More likely
 most people hit up google to answer their questions.

 The answer as I see it is 27.

 While we both agree that elongated stream, retroactive synapse, and
 value chain are false computer terms,



 there are three that you apparently don't know.

??? What is three, excuse me?


 Would you care point those out so we can discuss them?

 This reminds me of a survey I conducted in the late 80's where I had
 section of computer terms for people to indicate what was familiar, or not.
 The answer of each was either I heard of it, I know it, or Huh?

 I used that answer to test the truth of the person taking the survey.
 Interesting enough, I found the ratio of truth was equally spread between
 all age groups. In other words, the 20-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60 age groups
 all had the same ratio of people reporting a false term as I know it.

 Cheers,

 tedd

No, what I was getting at was that I knew almost all the terms and don't
think I've read any of the books... possibly the first in university but
I can't remember and the book is buried in a box someplace. These days
one can learn all the information contained in the books via the web.
BTW, I thought value chain was a real concept but you indicate it is
garbage. In OOP many would consider the following to be a value chain:

$foo-fee-fii-foo-fum

I didn't consider myself pompous at all for that interpretation.

Rob.
