[PHP] extract varying data from array with different formatting
foreach does a nice job if you want the results identical each time.
What can you use to change the formatting of the results dependent on
the number of results.
Here's an example:
foreach ( $authors[$bookID] AS $authorID = $authorData ) {
# Display the
echo {$authorData['first_name']}
{$authorData['last_name']}\n;
}
will echo - Joe Boe John Blue Andy Candy etc depending on how many rows
we have.
What I want is: Joe Boe, John Blue, Andy Candy Hans Stick ( separated
by commas, except for the last one which is separated with .
I thought of passing a variable to the foreach and then using if
elseif... but that can't work because the variable is reset to 0 after
each pass.
Can't get switch to do it (maybe I don't understand it right.
Help ?

[PHP] $_GET
I am moving my web site to a new host this weekend. I am working
towards making the code compatible to the structure of the new server.
I am getting a weird response which I don't understand
At the very start of my index.php I have the following lines of code:
foreach($_GET as $key = $val) {
$$key = $_GET[$val];
echo $_GET[$val] . br /;
}
What I don't understand is why the output is
br /br /
I am not understanding how two empty variables are being passed.
index.php is driven off of various mod re-writes contained
within .htaccess . This is why I am doing the loop above.
RewriteRule ^page/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^page/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1field1=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^page/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=
$1field1=$2field2=$3 [L]
What should I be trying? What will allow the value of page to be passed
onto $page with the following URL:

Re: [PHP] How about a saveXHTML for the DOM?
If I remove the \r from the file using preg_replace() then it shows up just fine. I was just wondering if there was a way to suppress the \r in the xml output. Another thing that I've observed while looking at your code is that it only works best for dynamic web pages. It appears that it would not work well when using page caching or page templates. I really think having a function that generates xhtml (html compatible) output, would really eliminate all these workarounds that we will have to do in order to get the page to render inside popular web browsers. A lot of developers produce xhtml web pages that are html 4 compatible, so that they can be rendered in browsers that only supports html rendering.

I normally have a prep4display() and prep4store() type function that do
all of the sensitization/prep for either storing or displaying. So
prep4display() has a check for magic_quotes_gpc for which it does
stripslashes() if they are on and then htmlentities() etc.. and the
prep4store() can do mysql_real_escape_string() and whatever else.
-Shawn
Well, since this last post didn't make a whole lot of sense I thought
I'd clarify and add a little. So I use the prep4display() in an echo or
when building display output and prep4store() in a query etc.
The addition that I find useful sometimes are clean_from_input() and
clean_for_output() type functions which may use the aforementioned ones.
clean_from_input() you can call like clean_from_input('some_getvar')
and it will check to see if the $_GET var (or more generally $_REQUEST
or $_GET || $_POST) is set and return after stripping slashes if
magic_quotes_gpc is set and whatever else. Then the clean_for_output()
does some stuff for output when you need it. My point is that if you
build a function to retrieve get/post/cookie vars etc, then you can
clean it however you want and also build in the isset() stuff there so
it returns '' or false, etc... and you don't have all kinds of isset()
or !empty() calls in your main code.
So build some general purpose functions or methods that scrub input and
prep output and try and get it to handle as many cases as possible.
Then use those functions.

[PHP] pear mdb2 and null
I've run into a small issue with mdb2. I have a mysql database with a field set to longtext not null. inserting into that field works just dandy when using the mysql_ functions. However, when using mdb2 - it converts to NULL which is NOT what I want to have happen, and the result is that the execute() fails because the database table does not accept NULL for that field. Why does mdb2 turn into NULL for a text type when MySQL knows there is a difference? How do I suppress that? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This is something that I think the PHP DOM should be able to support with ease. If you want to send the same page for everybody than use html 4.01 (or html 5 when it is ready) and the saveHTML() function. The only reason I don't do that is because I wish html would go away, so I generally send valid xhtml (header and all) and only provide the html as a fall back for inferior browsers. With respect to templating systems, I don't use them but if you have a DOMDocument orientated template system, I don't see why it couldn't do the same thing - as far as the DOM used to generate xhtml (via saveXML()) or html (via saveHTML()) - the only difference is the DTD and the fact that xhtml sometimes uses namespaced attributes (which may get stripped with saveHTML() anyway) That's the beauty IMHO of DOMDocument - virtually identical data in the DOM can produce valid html or xhtml - as long as you aren't using xhtml only extensions (like MathML). So it should work beautifully with a templating system, as long as the templating system is built for DOMDocument consumption. I think there are a few. How well they work with caching I don't know. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
