[PHP] table mixing PHP, javascript, ajax and CSS
Hi, i'm currently working on some project which needs in several pages, a table to display query results...till now nothing special. however, in order to not create several time the table and features i've decided to create my own templates including PHP classes, CSS and javascript. this table class should have filter, colors schemes, multi selection and header/paging header. I would like to know what are your suggestions, recommendations or tips to have something easy to deploy and upgrade ? i was thinking to have a common (framework) base : a simple html file having 3 divs, each div receiving a particular php file (header, pagin, or the table itself) header, paging or table PHP files could be located in some folder being different for each template... main changes in templates are usually for the table it self (in terms of columns amount, of presented data record,...) basically my structure is the following one: /folder_to_include_by_user_in_his_development_environment /templates /template1 pager.php table.php /template2 pager.php table.php header.php frame.php /class table_class.php helping_classes.php ... /js_and_ajax function.js the user will have only to run a js function which will include the frame.php file into his own webpage with the template given as parameter. thx for any suggestion. -- Alain --- Windows XP x64 SP2 / Fedora 10 KDE 4.2 PostgreSQL 8.3.5 / MS SQL server 2005 Apache 2.2.10 PHP 5.2.6 C# 2005-2008
[PHP] turn shared hosting server to external image storage hosting
do you have any idea how to do this. i have a small vps about 10GB space. i live somewhere is south east asia where solutions like Amazon S3 is incredibly slow. (500ms ping time). i have a simple php gallery. But dedicated server is quite expensive ($100/month). searching around, i found several local hosting companies provide a very cheap shared hosting. ($100 / year, 300GB). local server with 40ms ping time. i am interested to use that shared hosting just as storage for images of my gallery and a cheap vps to store the database. What is the best way for me to accomplish this? Amazon S3 using REST etc. Is it possible to write a simple storage (REST system) like amazon s3 in PHP? is there anyone wrote this before. I am interested in your solutions.. thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

An appropriate set of classes (data types, field names, even/odd designators for zebra styling) plus CSS is everything you need for color schemes. Can you elaborate on what you mean by multi selection and paging header? I would like to know what are your suggestions, recommendations or tips to have something easy to deploy and upgrade ? I'd look into: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/datatable/ It includes filtering. I usually write my own code for generating raw table markup - that could be used by as a progressive enhancement by YUI datatable - with a minimum of repetition. http://www.webaim.org/techniques/tables/data.php has information about what constitutes good markup for data tables. i was thinking to have a common (framework) base : a simple html file having 3 divs, each div receiving a particular php file (header, pagin, or the table itself) header, paging or table PHP files could be located in some folder being different for each template... main changes in templates are usually for the table it self (in terms of columns amount, of presented data record,...) the user will have only to run a js function which will include the frame.php file into his own webpage with the template given as parameter.

Re: [PHP] retrieve result of a query
You can return (echo) a JSON or a XML with those results.

Re: [PHP] retrieve result of a query
Ajax is what you need to look at. JS can certainly accept the data being posted back from the server.

If the user doesnt press the submit button PHP has no idea what's going on there. That's client-side and you should use JavaScript for that. Essentially what I want to do is make sure the user has filled in all three text fields on my form before allowing it to be submitted [to a third party website]. In case you have a specific business logic in that field and don't want the user to know about it, you should use AJAX. But this sounds simple, a small JS should help you. The JS can submit the form, if it's okay. Or you can add a action to form's onsubmit event. (you can return false if the validation fails). Hope this helps!

[PHP] What does ?xml have to do with it?
Hi gang:
I have a small php routine to provide the user with a style choice.
The working url is here:
http://php1.net/a1/david/
The simple code that allows style switching follows:
?php session_start();
$the_style = isset($_SESSION['the_style']) ? $_SESSION['the_style'] : 'style1';
if(isset($_GET['set']))
{
$set = $_GET['set'];
if($set == 'style1')
{
$the_style = 'style1.css';
}
else
{
$the_style = 'style2.css';
}
$_SESSION['the_style'] = $the_style;
}
$the_style = $_SESSION['the_style'];
?
As you can see, the code works. However, if I add the following line
IN THE HTML (i.e., after ?):
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 ?
I receive a:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING
What's up with that? Apparently the php interpreter is considering
?xml tag as a php declaration -- how do I turn that off? Or is
this something else?
Cheers,
tedd

I know that REQUEST_URI includes the ?variable=value string and that SCRIPT_NAME does not. This form does not depend upon get variables, so this should never be an issue, but I ask here anyway to know if there are other differences that I did not account for.

[PHP] Webhotel structure
Hi Carlos and what people Thank for trying to help. As I said Im a newbie or rather total beginner in the web territory My webhotel is surftown starter (I paid for 5 years long ago before the price went up so I do not want to change. I got a domain attached. The surftown webserver runs linux has 10GB space and Linux Webhotel STARTER PHP Safe Mode On Sun ASP, PHP4 , PHP5 MySQL 5.0 databaser phpMyAdmin PostgreSQL 7.4 databaser phpPgAdmin FTP accounts Webalizer Modlogan statistik 1click Toolbox installation Your own CGI-scripts It also has mail support , but I do not plan to use that, and I am pretty sure it has not been configured. I tryed Surftowns help and wiki offcourse, but did not find any usefull info about the overall structure. Is it possible to see what is running on my web hotel like SQL databases + ? Is there somethink like windows taskmanager or linux ps command? Yes then I properly want to start all over and delete everythink including databases and what else could be running? Problem is a student tryed to set up my web and do not know what he has installed and why features he has started. After clearing everythink I will install the php program coppermine, due to safe mode on I can not use the Gallery. Coppermine is a one click install on surftown, I have tryed but get a number of different errors, so I want to start over from a clean web instead of finding that the problems relate to the unknown code from the student. I guess I just have to delete all files below my domain name and stop/delete any database I can find, but is that all or could there be other thinks I have heard off? best regards Peter Sørensen - Original Message - From: Carlos Medina i...@simply-networks.de Newsgroups: php.general To: php-general@lists.php.net Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2008 12:22 AM Subject: Re: Webhotel structure Nordstjernealle 10 schrieb: Hi PHP experts What is the overall structure on webhotels, how do I remove/clean everythink including everythinnk liek databases etc?

Dotan:
Sometimes the simplest is the best, but you might try this:
action=?php echo basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) ;?
At least you can say it's not as simple. :-)
As for saving a form locally, then you'll have to get the entire url.
Here's a less than simple solution:
function selfURL()
{
$s = empty($_SERVER[HTTPS]) ? '' : ($_SERVER[HTTPS] == on) ? s : ;
$protocol = strleft(strtolower($_SERVER[SERVER_PROTOCOL]), /).$s;
$port = ($_SERVER[SERVER_PORT] == 80) ? :
(:.$_SERVER[SERVER_PORT]);
return
$protocol.://.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$port.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}
function strleft($s1, $s2)
{
return substr($s1, 0, strpos($s1, $s2));
}
It works.
Cheers,

[PHP] is_readable(http://.... text file) says not, but I can in browser
Hi
I'm sure this is simple for yous all but I'm not sure I know the answer.
$myFileLast = http://www.myDomain.com/text.txt;;
if (is_readable($myFileLast))
{
$fh = fopen($myFileLast, 'r');
$theDataLast = fread($fh, 200);
fclose($fh);
echo (The dataLast: .$theDataLast.br\n);
} else
{
echo (Last fix file unavailable: $myFileLastbr\n);
}
returns Last fix file unavailable even for a file that my browser can
read. All I want to do is skip over files
This could be a very simple error, I'd appreciate a pointer. Is it
permissions being different for PHP versus the browser or something? PHP
is running on a different server.

As you can see, the code works. However, if I add the following line

?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 ?
I receive a:

What's up with that? Apparently the php interpreter is considering

this something else?

Sounds like you have short tags turned on in your php.ini. Search the
php.ini file for short tags (possibly short_tags) and make sure it is
set to off. Note however, that if you have an older app, it may require
these types of PHP tags to function. In that case, you could use an echo
(or print) as the last line of PHP and output the line of XML you need
instead of putting it as standard output after the ? closing tag for
the PHP.

you might try shell_exec() instead to see if you can get any more mileage.

are you basically trying to tell if theres a resource @ the given url? if

something like

else {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);*
* $theDataLast = curl_exec($ch);
echo (The dataLast: .$theDataLast.br\n);*
* curl_close($ch);*
*}
obviously, youll need the curl extension installed for this to work. i know
the fopen wrappers will allow you to get a read-only handle to an http url,
but im not sure what is_readable() will do w/ that, it may be limited to the
local filesystem.

Actually, that's not entirely correct while the documentation

(127), and $retval would have nothing to do with causing the error.
What I would recommend trying is:

On a side note, I'm curious as to what 'gpsbabel' does. I've

It can perform both server side and browser side validations by generating the necessary Javascript (so you do not have to learn it too much) using a single definition of the validations you want. http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration Here is a live demo form: http://www.meta-language.net/forms-examples.html?example=test_form -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: turn shared hosting server to external image storage hosting
Hello, on 12/28/2008 11:37 AM paragasu said the following: do you have any idea how to do this. i have a small vps about 10GB space. i live somewhere is south east asia where solutions like Amazon S3 is incredibly slow. (500ms ping time). i have a simple php gallery. But dedicated server is quite expensive ($100/month). searching around, i found several local hosting companies provide a very cheap shared hosting. ($100 / year, 300GB). local server with 40ms ping time. i am interested to use that shared hosting just as storage for images of my gallery and a cheap vps to store the database. What is the best way for me to accomplish this? Amazon S3 using REST etc. Is it possible to write a simple storage (REST system) like amazon s3 in PHP? is there anyone wrote this before. I am interested in your solutions.. Amazon released a CDN (Content Delivery Network) that expands S3 to serve files closer to different world regions. http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/ -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The reference is declared in the function definition. There's no reason for this to be frowned upon. What you are referring to is the old PHP4 style of explicit pass-by-reference in function usage which is frowned upon.

[PHP] Re: Architecture patterns in PHP
Hello, on 12/27/2008 09:40 PM Michael C. Yates said the following: How do you structure your web applications? I am thinking in terms of separating presentation and logic. How is that done in PHP? And how many architecture patterns are there? I use the Use Case Mapping as methodology to implement Web applications in PHP since 1999 . It does not mean that this is necessarily the best Web development methodology, nor that you could not use another methodology that you may prefer. It is a methodology that I have been using for developing PHP Web applications with very satisfactory productivity results. I have been using it since 1999, when Object Oriented Programming support was added to PHP 3. Over time, it has been refined to address better the real world needs of sites of growing complexity. This methodology has been used extensively to develop busy sites like the PHPClasses repository. Therefore, it has proven to be suitable to develop enterprise grade Web applications. It does not impose excessively complex development procedures. So, it is also suitable for developing small Web applications. You may want to read this document that explains what are use cases in the scope of a well structured project and the methodology that describes how map use cases to PHP code for Web applications. http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage-example.html -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Re: imap_rfc822_parse_adrlist problem
File a bug report at http://bugs.php.net You have a pretty clear-cut case of a built-in function gone awry, and it will probably be fixed pretty fast. I also rely on this function quite a bit, so it needs to work right when I end up at 5.2.8 some day :-) From: Ben Stuyts [...@altesco.nl] Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2008 7:12 AM To: Manuel Lemos Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: imap_rfc822_parse_adrlist problem Hi, On 21 dec 2008, at 03:41, Manuel Lemos wrote: on 12/20/2008 09:34 PM Ben Stuyts said the following: Hi, Since upgrading to php 5.2.8 I have a problem with imap_rfc822_parse_adrlist. When I run the example given on the manual page at http://nl3.php.net/imap_rfc822_parse_adrlist: ... So the host part isn't filled in correctly. I have verified this on two FreeBSD 7 machines. On an older FreeBSD 5 machine with php4 this works fine. Before the update, I was running php 5.2.6 and there was no problem either. Any ideas? Sometime ago I decided to not use IMAP library functions to parse e- mail addresses because it was not handling all sorts of addresses as it should. Well, yeah, ok, I read about the problems imap_rfc822_parse_adrlist() has, but shouldn't it just work at least as advertized in the manual? Plus, this is breaking an existing application (Twiggi). Nowadays I use an e-mail address parser class written in pure PHP that comes with this MIME parser class: http://www.phpclasses.org/mimeparser Thanks, I'll have a look at that.
