Re: [PHP] Please Help Me ASAP
whenever you want to print HTMLs in your code you don't need to call echo or
print everytime.
You can use plain HTML in your php code this way.
?php
//php code
?
your HTML code
?php
//php code
?
your HTML code
or you can use HEREDOC to print long string ( http://in.php.net/types.string)

Re: [PHP] Caching
Hi, I started caching some of the static files on my application, I was wondering - Lets say I have an article on my website and I *want* to cache it. How will I cache it AND will be able to make my visitors re-cache it if it has been changed? Work from the last modified date/time on the file. When you update the file it will change. Though if your files really are static, then there's little point - the OS will do a far better job of caching them than you will. Also, you may also want to have a goosey at the Cache-Control: HTTP header over Expires:. It can give you more control. How do I use *Header set Expires* (on htaccess) and specifying in a week?

Sorry about the top-post. I forgot. :)
Thank you everbody. I figured it out without regex. It's not for
production, just testing:
$pos_1 = strpos($contents, $word1);
$pos_2 = strpos($contents, $word2, $pos_1);
$text = strip_tags(substr($contents, $pos_1, $pos_2 - $pos_1));
That works as well.
Or...
strip_tags() which would work perfectly well for the example excerpt you

Not only would any potential solution be too slow, but it would affect other users of the server, and more than likely result in an email from you hosting provider!

Re: [PHP] A Tool For Building PHP Web Apps
Roadsend is very beta when I last checked and while promising seemed to be geared more towards taking php and moving it to the desktop without using gtk. I could see the uses but I think adobe air fits that model better with less to worry about. Personally, I am leaning more and more towards using php to build XSLTs and just passing the data via XML. It fits nicely with the mvc framework models and reduces the view code dramatically.

The best way
to do what you want to do is probably to do the work

can create a hidden input with a specified id,
and use
dhtml via
javascript to modify the input and insert the value
into
the value
field of the hidden input. Then it will get sent to the
server when
the user hits the post button.
However,
since you should be validating any user input server
side,
you'll need
to validate that the variable is accurate - might as
well just do
the count with php server side.
Thanks Michael I
was kind of moving in the right direction as
far as the
hidden input goes, going to have to google on how to
do it with the
dhtml and all like you suggested.
Look at the various DOM
functions - IE for
input type=hidden
name=wordcount id=hiddenStudd value=
you coud do in your js:
var myHidden =
document.getElementById('hiddenStuff');
myHidden.setAttribute('value',$yourvalue);
Thought I would go ahead and post a bit more on this,
so here is my wordcount little function on the textarea of
the form:
textarea name=Comments
cols=55 rows=5 wrap=hard
onKeyDown=wordCounter(this.form.Comments,this.form.remLen,
300);
onKeyUp=wordCounter(this.form.Comments,this.form.remLen,
300);?php if (isset($_SESSION['Comments'])) {echo
$_SESSION['Comments'];}
?/textareabrLetters to the Editor are
limited to 300 words or less.brWords remaining:
input type=box readonly name=remLen size=3
value=300
So I was thinking I should be able to pass that again
to the next page which is the emailform.php page that is
taking all the id= and printing them to an email
should be able to reuse that function right?
input type=hidden id=words value=
onSubmit=return
wordCounter(this.form.Comments,this.form.remLen);
or do I need to define the variable? think I'm
starting to confuse myself lol
You don't want the onSubmit in the the hidden input.
I'm not a javascript guru - but I believe you can have the
form onSubmit do the word count and insert it into the input
field before the actual submit happens, I've never tried
having an onsubmit function alter a value field though.
I would change the textarea to have an id=Comments field
and the remLen input to have an id=remLen field to make it
easy to find via getElementById (as id attributes have to be
unique), count the words and set them to a variable that
then gets put into the hidden input before whatever function
you run on the submit type onSubmit returns true.
not tested - but something like this:
function countTheWords() {
var comment =
$document.getElementById('Comments');
var remLen =
$document.getElementById('remLen').value;
var count =

Re: [PHP] Caching
Hey! About Header set Expires Thu, 15 Apr 2010 20:00:00 GMT The problem is the files might change, lets say - every week.

[PHP] ServInt feedback
Hi folks. A while back I inquired about managed VPS hosting services. I have since gotten a recommendation for ServInt.net, which seems to offer an actual managed VPS or something very close to it. Does anyone else have experience with them, good or bad? Are they decently responsible about maintaining the server image, and responsive about requests to change things? Decent uptime?

I object to the idea of including 15 or 30 files in a PHP application just to display one page on the internet. It makes the coding faster, but it makes the display slower and seems silly to me. So what if you had a tool or a set of tools where you could write code snippets and such, and then hit a button or issue a command, and everything you specified got written into a single file? You'd specify that this page needs to read the config, set up a database connection, validate these fields, etc. When you were done, it would write all this code to a *single* file, which the user would invoke by surfing to that page. The resulting code would be *static*, not like what results from most templating systems. So rather than specify a specific variable value in the resulting file, it would embed the PHP code to display the variable, etc. What might be the liabilities of something like that? Would there be security issues? Would there be increased difficulty in debugging? What can you think of? Paul -- Paul M.

From my test it sometimes generate this like #13; at the end of the page elements. It also

script src=foo.js /
will work on any browser that advertises it accepts the xhtml+xml mime type.
Internet exploder does not and therefore internet exploder should be

if(! strpos( $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'], application/xhtml+xml ) ) {

}
} else {

}
}
?
That will result in $usexml being set to 1 for browsers (like Firefox
and Opera) that accept xhtml+xml while setting it to 0 for browsers that
do not accept xhtml+xml.
Then when you create your DOM -
?php
$xhtmldtd=!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN\
\http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd\;;
$htmldtd=!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN\
\http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd\;;
$myxhtml = new DOMDocument(1.0,UTF-8);
$myxhtml-preserveWhiteSpace = false;
$myxhtml-formatOutput = true;
if ($usexml == 0) {
$xmlstring = $htmldtd . html/html;
} else {
$xmlstring = ?xml version=\1.0\ encoding=\UTF-8\? .
$xhtmldtd . html/html;
}
$myxhtml-loadXML($xmlstring);
$elements = $myxhtml-getElementsByTagName(html);
$xmlHtml = $elements-item(0);
?
You then add your children (IE head and body) to $xmlHtml.
When it comes time to serve the page -
?php
function sendxhtmlheader($usexml) {
if ($usexml == 1) {
header(Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8);
} else {
header(Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8);
}
}
?
makes sure the right header describing the content is set.
Send the page like this:
?php
if ($usexml == 0) {
print $myxhtml-saveHTML();
} else {
print $myxhtml-saveXML();
}
?
That way you only send xhtml to browsers that advertised to your server
that they know what to do with the application/xhtml+xml mime type,
those that did not advertise they know what to do get the text/html mime
type and an html page.
It works extremely well in my test environment (my web app is not live
yet) for sending valid xhtml 1.1 to browsers that properly handle xhtml
and sending html 4.1 strict to browsers that do not properly handle
xhtml+xml (IE internet exploder).
As far as I can tell - as long as you aren't using an extension to xhtml
(like MathML) - the only problem where you can't produce both valid
xhtml 1.1 and html 4.01 strict from the same php code would be if you
were using the ruby (not programming language, the tags) elements that
are allowed in xhtml 1.1 but not defined in HTML 4.01
No browser I have tested with that broadcasts it accepts xhtml+xml has
ever had a problem with self closing script (or input or meta or ...) tags.
If you send xhtml with the text/plain mime type then the failure is on
your end for violating the specification and self closing script tags
are not legal.
