Re: [PHP] Pure PHP Templating Class/AJAX Problem

[Yeti]

Well after looking at the template thing you posted with your link it
seems to me like PHP is used to create working XML. So i wonder why
you are using AJAX here.
Now could it be that you use appendChild() ? That function would
simply add the XML again.

It's not easy to tell if you are not showing the JavaScript code ..
Still it simply depends on how you are importing the node you get from
XMLHttpRequest() or responseXML

Btw. importNode() is not working on all Browsers ..
Below is a code snipped I use for my AJAX class in JavaScript to copy
a node of one XML document (like from responseXML) into another. It
works in IE6+ and all W3C compliant browsers.
To make this work you will still have to make some ajustments.

xml_obj.prototype.xml_import_node = function(node, to_node,
all_children) { // cross browser importNode, NOTE: if toNode not
specified it will be set to current root_element
// appends node as a child to to_node
// if all_children is true then all child nodes will be imported too
/* NOTE TYPES:
ELEMENT_NODE = 1;
ATTRIBUTE_NODE = 2;
TEXT_NODE = 3;
CDATA_SECTION_NODE = 4;
ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE = 5;
ENTITY_NODE = 6;
PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE = 7;
COMMENT_NODE = 8;
DOCUMENT_NODE = 9;
DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE = 10;
DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE = 11;
NOTATION_NODE = 12;
*/
if (!node) return false;
if (!this.DOC) this.DOC = document;
if (!to_node.nodeType) {
if (!this.XML) return false;
try {
to_node = this.XML.documentElement;
this.DOC = this.XML;
} catch(e) {
return false;
}
}
try {
if (!node.nodeType) return false;
switch (node.nodeType) {
case 1: // new element
var new_node = 
this.DOC.createElement(node.nodeName);
if (node.attributes && 
(node.attributes.length > 0)) { // if it
has attributes
for (var count = 0; (count < 
node.attributes.length); count++) {

this.xml_import_node(node.attributes[count], new_node);
}
}
if (all_children && (node.childNodes && 
(node.childNodes.length >
0))) { // if child nodes
var dump = null;
for (var count = 0; (count < 
node.childNodes.length); count++) {

this.xml_import_node(node.childNodes[count], new_node, true);
}
}
to_node.appendChild(new_node);
return new_node;
break;

Try:

print_r(file($_POST['filename']));

And see if you get what you expect.  You might also want to have
error_reporting at its highest and display_errors also.

I had this happen when trying to read in a binary file as a CSV. Are you
sure that the file is a CSV, and if so, is it delimited in the way you
expect?

RE: [PHP] Csv issue

[bruce]

hi...

as a test... using the cli php... try to write a short app to read a file that 
simulates your input csv file, and then writes it out as well...

once you do this, you'll know you have the logic to read/write/manipulate the 
csv file.

after you can do this, go ahead and then create/work with a app to read a csv 
file from the user/input/form data from a test website.

finally, after you're sure of your ability to manipulate the csv file 
(read/write) than create the mysql process to insert the data..

you'll get it in no time...

I am using a form to select a csv file and then import it into mysql and maybe 
im just drawling a blank here. But why is it blowing up.
This thing loads like 14 million records into the database and I am clue less 
how it can do that with a 2 record csv file.


Upload:



$row = 1;
$filename = $_POST['filename'];
$handle = fopen("$filename", "r");
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE)
{
$num = count($data);
echo " $num fields in line $row: \n";
$row++;
}
fclose($handle);
print "Import done";

This will produce millions of lines until i go in and stop the process on the 
server. I know its stupid but im drawling a blank as to why its doing this. The 
csv file has 2 lines in period. 
 0 fields in line 1: 
 0 fields in line 2: 
ect for millions of records.

[PHP] Pure PHP Templating Class/AJAX Problem

[Tom Shaw]

I use a pure templating class similar to something that I found here
http://www.talkphp.com/advanced-php-programming/2568-pure-php-template-class
.html.  My question is how do you handle AJAX requests from XMLHttpRequest
(); My class pumps out the entire page over again after the AJAX request is
made. In other words the page is displaying twice. 

 

Thanks

this list is as idiosyncratic as the language it covers :-)

I don't know anything about newsgroups - I partake via email, you can
set up filters to remove 'double replies' or just live with it ... it's
one of this lists weirdnesses that the reply addr is that of the poster
and not the list (which leads to 'reply to all' being the convention)

you could keep asking everyone not to reply to you but it gives them
extra work and it's not something you can rely on.

That'll do, Jim. :)

I also thought it worth mentioning that by telling a catch-all character
sequence (.*) not to be "greedy", another viable solution would be this:

preg_match('#(.*?)#iU', $data, $match);

The ? will stop it when it reaches  through back-tracking.
Probably less-efficient in more complex regex patterns, but I find it
can help make the patterns more readable at-a-glance in regex-heavy code
blocks.

Sorry.. a bit OT.. and the OP has already been answered. Meh.

Didn't read the advice about top-posting did ya?

Anyhoo, this is primarily a mailing list with a newsgroup gateway.  
You're receiving replies in your mailbox because most contributors are  
subscribed by email and hitting "Reply to All" is the standard way to  
respond. An alternative to filtering would be to subscribe to the  
mailing list rather than the newsgroup but whatever floats ya boat.

Nope, you post and pretty much people will respond to the list and
sometimes include the other posters to that message.

If you are just going to read this group through the web or another

Ok, I changed it to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ2dKXGAjNg";);
preg_match('/#([^<]*)<\/title>#iU',$data,$match);
$title=$match[1]; 
echo $title;
?>
And this is the error i am getting:

Warning:  preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '/' found
in C:\wamp\www\ezee\tests\get_remote_title.php on line 3


>> Sorry forgot to include the list in my post to you

Here is another solution if you don't want to play around too much with
regex:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ2dKXGAjNg";);

$strt = strpos($data,"")+7;
$end = strpos($data,"");
$len = $end - $strt;

$title= substr($data,$strt,$len);

echo $title
?>

Produces:
"YouTube - REALLY funny ad"

As mentioned, you can probably "neaten" this up a bitregex may be too
complex for the simple requirement needed ?

But for fun, it will be nice to see get if preg_match can do it at some
stage :-)

Well that is a bit extreme, but I understand your point.  If it were 1
character I'd still stick with /'s and escape one though.

Ok, I changed it to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ2dKXGAjNg";);
preg_match('/#([^<]*)<\/title>#iU',$data,$match);
$title=$match[1]; 
echo $title;
?>
And this is the error i am getting:

Warning:  preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '/' found in 
C:\wamp\www\ezee\tests\get_remote_title.php on line 3

Very true... but I think everything gets a bit convoluted when you escape your 
forward-slashes instead of just choosing a more convenient 
delimiter--especially when URLs are involved. I've seen a few regex that look 
ridiculous for that very reason: /http:\/\/www\.asdf\.com\/blah\/foobar\.php/i 
... looks like a zig-zaggy mess. :)

That's because of the Reply-All nature of the list.  If you
subscribe to the list as opposed to a newsgroup, you should only get a
single copy of the response, but using a real email address on a
newsgroup means that you'll still get copies in addition to the posts
to the newsgroup.

By the way, you're probably the first person aside from myself
here from NEPA.

Nope, you post and pretty much people will respond to the list and sometimes 
include the other posters to that message.

If you are just going to read this group through the web or another interface, 
set up your email to filter the messages.

It is the convention of this list that the original author be CC'd (or
the list CC'd, however you choose to look at it) upon reply, since it is
not required that one subscribe to the list in order to post to it. Just
ask in your posts that you not receive any personal replies, and I'm
sure everyone will be more than happy to oblige.

So.. you concede to ignore the requested style, then?

As for near-equal fluidity.. I don't believe you. Plainly and simply, I
do not believe your claim. That is, of course, unless you've been
reading bottom-to-top since you were a child in some bizarre psychology
experiment placed on your shoulders by your parents...

It boils down to this: if you've been participating in the discussion
adamantly, then yes--top posting probably won't throw you off. However,
for people who are jumping in the middle (perhaps they saw a keyword
related to something they are working on, or they just joined the list,
etc.) it can become quite confusing. This is a mailing list. On top of
that (no pun intended), it is a public mailing list. As such, there will
be many individuals reading conversations without having been around for
the start of them.

More confusing still is the "some do it this way, some do it that way"
proposal you have issued. When messages are replied to using both
conventions, the flow of the conversation looks like a seismic gauge
during an earthquake.

Ryan,

I don't believe you need both the / and the # for delimiters in your
RegEx. Try using just # (since / is actually going to be in the text
you're searching for) like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ2dKXGAjNg";);
 preg_match('#([^<]*)#iU', $data, $match);
 $title = $match[1];
 echo $title;

Re: [PHP] Top/bottom posting holy war *cringe* (was: New to PHP)

[TG]

I concede only that the PHP list has a requested style (bottom posting).  I 
disagree on it's usefulness OVER top posting.

I'm perfectly able to read top or bottom posted messages with nearly equal 
fluidity.  I find top posting to be more fluid and useful.  I've never 
quite sure why this becomes a holy war.  Why can't some people do it one 
way and others do it the other way?  It's nice when everyone does it the 
same way, but with the indenting/prefixing lines of replies, it's easy 
enough to see what the last message was that the current top or bottom 
posted reply goes to.

Because this is such a hot button issue, I cringed when I saw it brought up 
as a response to a new member saying "Hi" and looking for PHP coding 
recommendations because it always leads to these discussions.  No good can 
come of even discussing it or bringing it up except to show people who 
aren't aware, that there IS a choice in the matter.

Hello!

Here's a regex that I got off the web that I am trying to modify for my needs, 
I suck at regex so desperately need some help.

Basically, am trying to get a remote webpage and get the value between the 
 tags, note that it should get the values regardless if  is upper 
or lower case (case insensitive)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ2dKXGAjNg";);
preg_match('/#([^<]*)#/iU',$data,$match);
$title=$match[1]; 
echo $title;

This is the error that i am getting when running the above:

The list, however, disagrees with you:

3. Do not top post. Place your answer underneath anyone you wish to quote and 
remove any previous comment that is not relevant to your post.

That is taken from http://us3.php.net/reST/php-src/README.MAILINGLIST_RULES . 
Sure, it's labeled as "more of a guideline"... but it is irrefutable proof that 
yes, the mailing list rules DO discuss top posting--and they frown on it.

As for having to scroll to read the new content--first of all, you sound very 
lazy. Second of all, it shouldn't be that big of a deal if people are properly 
trimming their messages.

I might also note:

7. Please configure your email client to use a real name and keep message 
signatures to a maximum of 2 lines if at all necessary.

The problem with bottom posting is that if you follow the  
conversation,

you have to scroll to find the new content.  I guess if you trim and

The major benefit of bottom posting is providing easy-to-read context  
to each message. This is important for those of us on many lists, for  
times when you missed an earlier part of a conversation or when people  
are reading your messages in archives.


At the end of the day it's beneficial to the community at large if  
each individual message can stand on its own. Judicious trimming and  
bottom-posting ensures this and makes list archives more valuable as a  
reference for Googlers.


Of course that's just my opinion and I know many people disagree but  
on this issue discussion is generally pointless since it's a religious  
bike shed.

Until very recently, everyone was up to speed and trimmed/bottom posted.  It 
does make for better contextual understanding.  Otherwise you have to scroll to 
the bottom and read UP to make sense of the whole of a Post.

Re: [PHP] New to PHP

[TG]

I don't want to get into a bottom vs top posting debate.  Just know that some 
of us prefer top posting.   There's no right/wrong answer to this.

Trimming is always good, though.

I second the recommendations for this mailing list as a good source (as well 
as reading what's posted and seeing if you know or can find out the answer) 
as well as php.net.  The online documentation has tons of great code 
examples.

The best way to learn is really by doing.  Think of a project or exercise 
you'd like to try and see if you can do it in PHP.

One of the best things you can learn as you go, is when it's appropriate to 
use PHP and when it isn't.  Sometimes you can solve your problems with 
simple HTML.  PHP can be useful in many situations, though.  Simple 
situations to some very complex ones.

Also, if you come from a programming background, chances are PHP will 
accomodate whatever programming style you're used to but also remember that 
there are so many pre-made functions in PHP to do so many things, you may 
end up discovering that a function you thought you had to write could be 
done with a simple PHP command.

I worked with a guy once who came from a C programming background.  He wrote 
many functions that he didn't need to because he assumed PHP was as sparse 
as a "real programming language".  

At any rate, you'll learn tons as you go along and probably look back at your 
early efforts and say "What was I thinking?".  Don't worry about it, comes 
with the territory.

Gary, one thing to keep in mind is to BOTTOM POST and TRIM your posts.

By Bottom Posting (common when on a mailing list or NG) it gives greater 
context as you read through the previous posts and by the time of getting to 
where the new response is, it is in sync.  No skipping back and forth to read 
to get the context.

Trimming is appropriate when addressing a specific entry or when cutting off 
Dan's 12 line signature block to reply to a message.  ;)

And yeah, you'll find a number of us aren't as serious as others may like.  :)

Welcome to the list.  I also keep www.php.net handy and a general rule of thumb 
when using Firefox if you have the google search plug-in running is to use 
"php: " where  is what you are looking to do.  By prefacing

Well...thank you all for the warm and friendly welcome, I will probably try 
to steer one of my projects to php (or at least a portion of) in a short 
while.

One of the things a client wants is a "landing page", so I am assuming that 
php might come in handy for that...

Thank you all and once I get in deeper I'm sure I will have a lot of 
quesitons.

Thanks again

hi Gary,

This is a great place to cut your teeth on php... I was in your boat  
about a year ago, and came to this list and have learned a ton from  
people here... And hopefully I've helped a few people as well.


One thing that I could suggest if you don't have a project you are  
working on currently, every time someone posts a question to the list,  
try and create a solution for it. It not only gets you into the code  
in significant ways that you are more likely to remember, it gives you  
one heck of a code library pretty quickly.


If you have questions, please feel free to post them, but please make  
sure to include the code, php version, and the actual error you are  
seeing. That way we can help you step through it.


Thanks Gary!

http://www.codeplex.com/IIRF - Ionic ISAPI Rewrite Filter

It's free under the Ms-PL (Microsoft Permissive License), and uses
Regular Expressions. Took me a while of rooting through crappy URL
filters that charge $500+ just for RegEx functionality to find this gem.
I've tested it in a few different situations here at work, and it does
the job.

I know it's been a while since I started this thread, but I wanted to
say thanks for the suggestion and post an update for the archives. I
downloaded the Sqlsrv library from Microsoft. It required us to
install the SQL Native Client (ODBC driver for SQL 2005), but it
connects just fine to our SQL 2K database. We put it into production
on this site a couple weeks ago when the site was crashing routinely
using both PDO_MSSQL and PDO_ODBC due to a (possibly misconfigured?)
spider that was hitting (I should say hammering) our site.  Since
switching, the site has not crashed once. The Microsoft extension also
implements connection pooling internally which is cool.

Re: [PHP] RewriteRule

[Yeti]

You are absoloodle right about that. Although I'm not sure about their
greediness, which might be different.
I prefer the '{0,}' in my rewrite rules because I usually define the
max-length to prevent code injection.

eg.

# to make sure only the first 8 chars get passed on to PHP
RewriteRule ^blog/([^/]{0,8} index.php?a=$1 [NC,QSA,L]

So that's why they ended up in my reply.

'*' (= 0, 1 or more instances of the previous)

/blog
/blog/
/blog/17
/blog/17/
/blog/17/0
/blog/17/0/

I don't bother with the referer at all.  Whenever I've needed this
information I either:

1) store it in the session
2) store it in the url as a ?continue=url

Lately I've been having to build a lot of different ways of getting to
the same edit form.  So to get the user back to where they came from
this previous url is quite important.  Also it's imperative to
validate that the $_GET['url'] is a url that your system can handle
though.

If you're able to use cookies instead of sessions, and the size of the  
data you're storing is fairly small, it's always better to use  
cookies. Sessions complicate scalability.

Well before you start calling the methods which actually do something,
you need to get a "context" and specify '2d' (the only one that's
supported right now), so the door has been left open for a '3d'
context. And if it doesn't materialise, then no biggie.

> Are there any 3d libraries yet like OpenGL for applications?

Don't think so. Though there is a 3d Doom-esque game which you'll find
if you look around.

Probably not. But the drawing API is very easy to use with methods
like lineTo() and arc() etc. The drawing is all done using Javascript
so if you're familiar with that, then you're in.

Older versions may well have issues though. An example of
inconsistencies would that FF3 doesn't seem to have a problem with
negative sizes for rectangles, whereas Chrome did. This one's easy to

That is/was not a concern in my case.

My problem was that I needed to use the HTTP_REFERER as the URL in a 303
redirect after a POST.  From page 1 (list of items), the user would
click on an item and the new url would be set through javascript.  On
page 2 (item detail), the user would then POST some action, after which
he should be returned to the original list at the same place.  (The
list is a window of e.g. 500 items from a list of several thousands). 

Anyway, I don't know what the OPs was trying do with HTTP_REFERER.
