Re: [PHP] Re: UTF-8 errors in RSS feed
[snip] > > I'm trying to load an external rss feed into a DomDocument, the feed says it's uft-8 but DomDocument rightly disagrees. This causes a warning: Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding ! Bytes: 0xA3 0x36 0x35 0x20 Is there any way I can get DomDocument to skip that part of the feed. I'm not looking for the LIBXML_NOERROR option which results in not loading the feed at all. The feed has some incorrectly encoded pound sign in it that causes the problem. I'd much rather have the feed just without that pound sign (or maybe some weird character) than not having the feed at all. Thanks, Ron >>> [/snip] What about a simple str_replace on the string before moving to the DomDocument? -- Bastien Cat, the other other white meat

I don't disagree that it's not the best model, but it is the best paying. Why? For precisely the reason you've stated - it interrupts what you're doing and forces you to pay attention to it. The reason game and download sites use them is because they pay enough to cover your usage of their site, whereas I'd bet standard banners would not. To make a reasonable amount of money from Google adwords you need a fairly sizable amount of traffic, and even then you won't pay for the scenario where every user downloads files 100's of meg in size. If you don't like it and you think it can be done less intrusively I urge you to go ahead and build a competitor. But don't expect to break even anytime soon. In the meantime if it really bothers you that much I would recommend finding a site that lets you pay a monthly fee for ad-free access. -Stut -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

IMHO, standards are the baseline upon which browsers should build. That's how innovation gets in. I'm not a fan of the M$ model, by which they define their own standards. I think they are reconsidering their model though, as other browsers eat more and more of their market share. I mean, IE8 is actually a little bit closer to meeting the CSS2 requirements now, surely we should applaud them that effort, or maybe send them a cake ;) ps, for those that don't know, I'm referring to the cake M$ sent Firefox congratulating them on shipping Fx3!

You could use trim() on it first. I believe that lets you take out the

I usually include verification on each page, so I'll redirect if they
are not logged in, but process them as normal throughout that script if
they are. I guess like all things PHP, there's 101 ways to do something,
and it's just down to preference and those little details...

I'm a fan of the isset() method for POST and GET variables, as usually
I'll still want to put something in the variables I'm assigning those
values to, rather than the NULL which gets returned by the @ prefix.

Also, generally speaking, it is a good idea to verify a user against
their $_SESSION on every page to verify that they have gone through the
login procedure and not just gone directly to an URL in the site.

You can do this:
$startTS = time() or mktime for today at midnight
strtotime("-1 week", $startTs)
and make your query use these params.

Re: [PHP] Missing Env. Variables when called by AT Scheduler
JJB wrote: We regularly send out massive mail blasts to our customers. Recently several mail blasts failed to transmit. After a serious amount of research we found the snippet of code below to be the place where it was breaking down. The issue it seems is that the Environment Variables HOST and SERVER_NAME are sometimes not returning true when executed from the Linux AT scheduler. (using atq commands). doing a php -i from the command line returns the correct values, as does putting in a php info command at the top of the script and opening it from a browser. I doubt php -i does that at all. $ php -i | grep 'SERVER_NAME' $ $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] and $_SERVER['HOST'] are set by web servers, they are not available through php-cli. It makes sense doesn't it? Since you don't have a server when calling a script using cli and you don't make a request the $_SERVER and $_REQUEST arrays are not available. -- Thodoris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] strtotime problem
From your function name I assume you want to use it in MySQL. In that
case, why don't you have MySQL do all the magic for you?
eg. INSERT INTO table (col) VALUES (FROM_UNIXTIME($timestamp));
(using FROM_UNIXTIME($timestamp) will give you the date-time in "mysql
format" (-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) or any other format (if given via the
2nd parameter)
Well I have made these two functions to solve this:
function dateMysqlToWeb($mysqldate){
$format = 'd/m/Y';
$timestamp = strtotime($mysqldate);
return date($format,$timestamp);
}
function dateWebToMysql($webdate){
$format = 'Y-m-d';
$date_part = explode("/",$webdate);
$timestamp = mktime(0,0,0,$date_part[1],$date_part[0],$date_part[2]);
return date($format,$timestamp);
}
My basic problem was how to make the user input from a form into a
timestamp not how to use it with mysql. Since the format used here is
dd/mm/ I can't use the strtotime directly bacause as far as I know
from the documentation I don't think that it changes with the timezone
(as Stut suggested). So since strtotime understands all these variations
like:
mm/dd/, m/d/yy, mm/d/yy etc
I can't use this flexible behavior to get the input if it is not in the
American format (and correct me if I am wrong). If I explode I will have
to use the fixed format dd/mm/ and I can't use other input formats
beside this so I lose this flexible approach.
It does work for me now but I was wondering if there was a way to avoid
this.

I tend to always normalise dates to Y-m-d before pushing them into
strtotime, but in your case you don't need to do that. If you *know*
the date always comes in as that format you can simply do this...
function dateWebToMysql($webdate)
{

$format = 'Y-m-d';
$timestamp = strtotime($webdate);
return date($format,$timestamp);
}
print dateWebToMysql('01/03/2008');
Where 01/03/2008 is in dd/mm/ format (not the American format). What is the
best way of doing this?
Any ideas?

or even better (what I recommend):
$query = filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'q', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
and get an empty string or a sanitized string, depending on if
something exists.

If you're using it to deal with possible empty input data, you'd better do it
explicitly enstead.
Something like this:
if(!array_key_exists('from_year', $_POST)
|| !array_key_exists('from_month', $_POST)
|| !array_key_exists('from_day', $_POST)
)
{
throw new Exception('No start date given', 100);
}

I'm not looking for the LIBXML_NOERROR option which results in not
loading the feed at all. The feed has some incorrectly encoded pound
sign in it that causes the problem. I'd much rather have the feed
just without that pound sign (or maybe some weird character) than not
having the feed at all.

it's probably in latin-1; try running it through utf8_encode first :)
That's not really an option when users can define their own RSS feeds,
how can I tell which ones actually do as they say and which ones don't?
shameless plug; a few months ago I made a script rss_php which handles
all of this for you; it's commercial however the classes which cover the
encoding side are freely available here:
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/4393.html
whether using them or simply checking the source, you'll find the
solution :) [i hope! - works for me and 17k other people]

If I want to make use of existing code, I rather have a good understanding and a grasp of the philosophy behind it. It is all about decisions anyway, so I better know why than just think 'whatever' or 'I don't care'. Therefore I just make use of libraries. Most of it is my own code, some are just variations on existing code and I tweaked it to my needs (or philosophy). Frameworks are nice. But I've never seen any other construction work in other fields making use of frameworks without customizing it over and over again. When people build a house, they can use ready-built parts etc. But when that house is finished, it doesn't need any backwards compatability. Housing has a lot of 'standards' and regulations or best practises. But they never use another framework exactly the same way as they did before. You can say 'Software ain't the same as housing'. Correct. But there are similarities however that makes you think about what is a good practise and what not. If you have a function and it works, but it is old code, you can still reuse it, modify it and apply it. That doesn't make a need for putting the modified version back into your old project, just for the sake of 'maintainance'. If I would be in the business of building houses, I would have to use pipes, cut them off, tweak them here and there to make them fit etc. That doesn't make a need for cut them all off already and tweak them for an older project, or next projects to come. No? I rather have a good supply of small, workable, understandable pieces of code that could make up for a framework, but doesn't. I don't want a house that is built on top of a factory framework with a lot of parts that makes it cloggy and won't be used at all. That is just my idea of why I use a library, a toolkit, rather than frameworks that are oversized most of the time. -- Aschwin Wesselius /'What you would like to be done to you, do that to the other'/

Ron
simplest way from experience is to simply explode('', $the_string)
you can then count the array -1 for number of br's; and add text to the
front and end of each; or indeed add/remove paragraphs before imploding
it back together.
If you want more power, most would say use regex or str_ functions,
however I'd recommend getting used to the DOMDocument to traverse the
html and make fine grained adjustments.
