Re: [PHP] Short circuit evaluation and include

[David Ansermot]

include and include_once dont throw fatal exception.

You should use require or require_once and catch the exception with 
try{}catch{} block




[EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit :

include and require are not functions.

They are language constructs.

They probably don't "return values" nor short-circuit in the usual way.

Ditto for "echo"

If you can strip the parens and have it still work, it's for sure not a 
function.



is perfectly valid code.

PS
All those disk calls are going to get pretty expensive if your site gets heavy 
traffic...
You may want to just write a custom error_handler and use include_once which 
will let you trap the error and do something intelligent with it...

Re: [PHP] [RESOLVED] Re: $_POST suddenly empty; $_GET and _$REQUEST fine

[Alex Kirk]

I've got an Apache 2.2.3 server running PHP 5.2.6 on top of FreeBSD
6.2. It's worked quite well for over a year now. However, as of some
time last night, phpBB broke; upon investigation, I realized that the
problem was that $_POST was never getting populated, even on properly
formed HTML forms.

Testing this to try to find the issue, I used the following script:

\n";
?>

http://www.newmars.com/test.php
name=formname enctype="multipart/form-data">






looks like you already fixed it.. works fine for me on your server:

array(1) { ["testvar"]=>  string(2) "er" } NULL
(then all the phpinfo())

i posted "er" on the form at bottom..



Seems to be working for me also.


I wish it were a real fix. I had switched the print statement back  
to use $_REQUEST after I pasted the code in my message, just to be  
100% certain that I wasn't losing it, and didn't think to switch  
it back before I left work for the evening - somehow I didn't  
anticipate you guys actually using the live form. :-P



Did you check the apache logs or the php error logs?


Apache logs show no errors at all. The PHP error log is more  
interesting - I turned on logging to /var/log/php.err once I  
started trying to diagnose this, and that file has yet to be  
created. At one point today, I intentionally wrote in a syntax  
error to a PHP script, and the error message printed out into the  
Apache log, so at this point I'm assuming that if PHP were going  
to give me a relevant error, it'd be there.



How about disk space on the server location where it is storing it's temp
files for the server?



I've seen something similar when disk space was nil after some scripts ran
amok.


Temp files should be on /, which is only at 41% of capacity. Even  
if it's /usr, that's at 90%, not 100%.


Alex



and if you remove the multipart/form-data from the form?


I actually added it in during my testing, since I'd seen some bugs  
from 2005 or so related to that. I hadn't specified an encoding  
previously.



any includes in that script that script?


None.


any .htaccess rewrites?


Hmmm, that's interesting: this is present in the docroot for www.newmars.com:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]


mod_rewrite is indeed enabled in the main HTTP config (we use it on  
other domains hosted on the box). /wordpress does exist on that  
virtual host, but I admit, this is one area that I'm not super-well  
versed on. Are there known issues with POST data and rewrites? It  
seems sort of odd, since that .htaccess hasn't changed since 3/8/08,  
but at this point I'll accept just about any solution. :-)



error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT) set?


It is now...but the whole damn domain went down. WTF


OK, so first off, this "outage" is apparently something confined to  
the XP laptop I'm currently sitting at. Remind me to go check for  
spyware after I send this...


That said, I was checking with the other guy who has root on the box  
before I rebooted the whole server, in case it was some bizarre  
caching issue, and he asked that I remove the following line from  
httpd.conf before I did so, since apparently he'd added it around the  
time that PHP had eaten itself:


LoadModule python_module libexec/apache22/mod_python.so

Strangely enough, after rebooting Apache, it worked like a charm. The  
only possible explanation that I can think of - since mod_python and  
libphp5 shouldn't conflict - is that this line was immediately  
preceded by:


LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache22/libphp5.so

...and Apache did some sort of dumb parsing thing. Though I guess that  
wouldn't explain why PHP was only partially broken...


So at this point, I'd like to thank all of you for your extremely  
rapid and thorough responses, and say that if anyone cares to probe  
this further, I'm open to testing things out...but if we just want to  
chalk it up to random weirdness, I'm OK with that, too.

Well, done anyway, just in case.

Do you have mod_security enabled in apache? Maybe it's catching

Nope, unless "grep -iIR security *" in /usr/local/etc/apache22 is

Apache can't write to that location. You need to create it and chown it.

chown apache:apache /var/log/php.err

-Original Message-
From: Alex Kirk 

I've got an Apache 2.2.3 server running PHP 5.2.6 on top of FreeBSD  
6.2. It's worked quite well for over a year now. However, as of some  
time last night, phpBB broke; upon investigation, I realized that the  
problem was that $_POST was never getting populated, even on properly  
formed HTML forms.

Testing this to try to find the issue, I used the following script:

\n";
?>

http://www.newmars.com/test.php  
name=formname enctype="multipart/form-data">




It works like a charm on a different machine with an essentially  
identical config (it's a newer version of FreeBSD, but that's about  
it); however, it never displays the contents of $_POST['testvar'] on  
the machine that suddenly quit functioning right last night.

Meanwhile, the rest of PHP seems to be working fine, as the phpBB  
forum is accessible in a read-only fashion.

I've searched all over, and done things like restarting Apache;  
checking phpinfo() for the POST data (it's not there on the broken  
server, but it is on the functional one); writting a quick Perl script  
that took POST input to verify that my browser was sending such data  
properly (it is); and scouring the Apache/PHP error logs. The worst  
part is, I didn't touch the config at all between when it worked and  
when it didn't. So now I'm at a total loss as to what could be causing  
this, or how I should go about troubleshooting...

I don't think the above will work either, afaik php doesn't allow you to have 
variable names start with numbers.  Also, there is a high possibility
that $percentage would end up being a float.

Re: [PHP] SELECT into array of arrays

[Yeti]

And yet another thing i have overseen in my statement ..
If you remove the first for loop, also change the sql query. But I'm
sure you saw that already

NEW QUERY:
$sql = "SELECT study,symbol FROM test WHERE study IN ('".implode(', ',
$myArray)."')";

Re: [PHP] SELECT into array of arrays

[ceo]

I actually would do more like:



$myArray[$study][$symbol] = true;



No need to call in_array.



Probably won't matter, really, but it's a good practice for when you end up 
doing the same kind of code for an array with thousands of elements.

As I recall, there needs to be a \SENTSINCE instead of just SENTSINCE, and the

RE: [PHP] How to type arguments

[ceo]

I'm surprised nobody mentioned:

http://php.net/assert

in this thread yet.



Perhaps I missed it?



You should really consider doing this:



1) At the outer API layer, do a typecast (possibly with preg_match first) to 
convert the input data to acceptable form.



2) For inner API layer[s], sprinkle "assert" calls as needed to make sure 
during dev/testing that the outer layer is doing it right.



In PROD, the assert can turn into a no-op, with no performance penalty, as I 
understand it.



Disclosure:

I've never worked on a project organized enough to actually do this properly.  
Sigh.

Yes, this is what actually happens for the browser "print" button.



You could do something like a "Printer Friendly" button to generate a PDF on 
the fly or somesuch, and POST back all the data you need to generate a nice PDF 
of the page.



Example:

[Ergün Koray]

Thanks for the quick reply,

There is no SENTSINCE keyword in the critera parameter section, so I
believe that no SENTSINCE queries can be performed againts the server.
The problem with the SINCE keyword is that it returns the wrong
results.

Re: [PHP] Picture downloading in IE

[mike]

I've seen this issue on a normally healthy machine. I think it's a
memory issue, or IE just corrupting itself sometimes. I don't change
anything and it seems to go away (probably fresh browser session)

Although I am sure invalid/confusing headers won't help.

[PHP] Re: Accessing the 'media' attribute in php

[Colin Guthrie]

'Twas brillig, and Ashley Sheridan at 03/12/08 08:15 did gyre and gimble:

Whatever you do, don't have a separate
page for "print view". This is one of those things that some bright
spark thought to do on a site at work, and the site in question was
already a couple hundred HTML pages, so he effectively doubled that
figure. It makes your work harder in the long run if you need to update
it at any time, and with the media="print" attribute set for the extra
stylesheet, it's automatically selected anyways.


While I don't want to disagree with the print media option (it's my 
preferred route), depending on your application/use case etc, having a 
separate print layout could make sense.


Say you have a content management system that displays an "entry" over 
several small pages. If you want to print out details of that "entry" it 
may make sense to combine the salient details from all the mini-pages 
into one "printable" page.


If your application is designed well, then this approach certainly 
doesn't double your number of "pages" (from a maintenance perspective). 
If you have a 1000 "entries" each with 5 mini-pages and you add a print 
version you are changing the number from 5 to 6, not 5000 to 6000.

Obviously you get the error because $percentage is not defined ..

I did not fully understand what you wanted.

Here is a list of what should work ...

#Set a variable percentage in $row
$row->percentage = ($browseCount / $totalCount ) * 100;

#Set a variable with name $percentage in $row
$percentage = ($browseCount / $totalCount ) * 100;
$row->$percentage = $percentage;

Thank you to everyone who has replied on this. While there are
reasonably good books on the individual tools (PHP, JavaScript, etc)
very few go into how they all interact, and this was the subject of my
confusion.  Maciek's succinct description has made it clear why my
original request could never be implemented, so I will have to use CSS
to achieve the results I want.

This is not THAT bad, but CSS was clearly not designed by a
programmer, and to my mind seems to have a very convoluted logic, so I
prefer to avoid using it if I can.

And thank you for the tip about Opera. That feature sounds as if it
could be very useful!

[PHP] adding key-> value pair to an array

[Aniketto]

Hi all,
Can anybody tell me how can I add key->value pair in an array.
My code is as follows

 $criteria = array();
 $criteria['mail_subject'] = $form->subject->getValue();
 $criteria['delivery_user_name'] = $form->delivery_user_name->getValue();
 $criteria['start_date'] = $form->start_date->getValue();
 $criteria['end_date'] = $form->end_date->getValue();
 $criteria['group'] = $form->group->getValue();

 // get table data from database
 $rowset = $mailDelivery->findDeliveryMailData($criteria);

//convert rowset into an array
 $mailDataArray = $rowset->toArray();


 if(count($mailDataArray) != 0){
foreach($mailDataArray as $row){
$condition['mail_delivery_id'] = $row->id;
$browseCount = $mailDeliveryDetail->findBrowseCount($condition);
$totalCount = $mailDeliveryDetail->findTotalCount($condition);
　　//for each row I want to add percentage as new key->value pair
 // but it gives error 'Undefined variable:

$row->$percentage = ($browseCount / $totalCount ) * 100;

　}
 }

not quite, take a look at VamVan's object_2_array(), its recursive.  a
simple type-cast will only alter the outermost layer of the $object in your
example above.  im not sure, but im assuming VamVan may have meant to make
array_2_object() recursive as well ??  that would be more consistent anyway
imo..

heres a simple script to illustrate the shallow nature of type-casting

 array(
'c' => array(
'd'
)
)
);

$obj = new stdClass();
$obj->b = new stdClass();
$obj->b->c = new stdClass();
$obj->b->c->d = new stdClass();

var_dump((array)$obj);
var_dump((object)$arr);
?>

results in

phdelnnobbe:~ nnobbe$ php arrayToObject.php
array(1) {
  ["b"]=>
  object(stdClass)#2 (1) {
["c"]=>

Go with what Yeti said. The browser will automatically pick the right
stylesheet when the user presses the print button or you issue a
window.print() from Javascript. Whatever you do, don't have a separate
page for "print view". This is one of those things that some bright
spark thought to do on a site at work, and the site in question was
already a couple hundred HTML pages, so he effectively doubled that
figure. It makes your work harder in the long run if you need to update
it at any time, and with the media="print" attribute set for the extra
stylesheet, it's automatically selected anyways.

On an aside, Opera has a neat option that lets you select from all the
stylesheets a page has available, which will make it easier when you're
developing the stylesheet rather than having to keep clicking print
preview in your browser!

Since you are looping through the result already, why not do it this way ..

$combinedArray = array();
for ($i=0;$i 0) {
   while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
   if (in_array($myrow['study'], $myArray))
$combinedArray[$myrow['study']][] = $myrow['symbol'];
   }
}
}

You should get an array like this ...
array("b2008" => array("A", "B", "C", "D"), "b2005" => array("A", "B", "E"))

If I understood you correctly what you want is to change the style of
the page when the user is printing it.
As others mentioned before all you would have to do would be adding a
second style sheet for that purpose.

EXAMPLE:



That would be all. Now if you want the user to have some kind of
preview when clickin on a "print the page" button or link
you need either JavaScript or PHP. The easiest way I could think of
would be using the same print style sheet.

For JavaScript have a look at this page ...

I think it should work in most modern browsers. Still doing it with
PHP will work in every browser, but requires the page to reload ...
