[PHP] Re: Form handling
Hello,
on 06/10/2009 03:10 PM Eddie Drapkin said the following:
I've been charged with writing a class that handles forms, once they've been
POSTed to. The idea of the class is to handle the most common use-cases of
POST forms, and any special functionality can be handled with a child class
at a later date, but for our uses, we're going to have mostly pretty typical
POST forms. Follows is the list of cases I've determined that are the most
common, can anyone think of any that are omitted or that are never going to
be used?
class form_handler {
public /* bool */ function setRequiredFields(array $fields); //takes a
simple array that corresponds to a $_POST key, verifying that there is data
on required fields but not for optional fields, returns true or false on
error
public /* bool */ function setRequiredFieldTypes(array $fieldTypes);
//array of field names = type a la ('username' = array(regex,
'/a-zA-Z0-9\-_/'))
//or 'phone_number' = (array('int', 'min_len' = 7,
'max_len' = 10)) etc, the exact spec is obviously nowhere near done but
will probably just wrap a lot of filter_ functions, returns true or false on
error
public /* string */ function validateAndCaptureError(); //returns error
or empty string
public /* void */ function validateAndForwardTo($page); //forwards to
page on error, or not
}
each of the globule setters will have a corresponding appendRequired...
method, so as not to require handling enormous data structures for
conditional form building.
♦
As you can see, the class looks pretty barren, but I can't think of any more
functionality than would be required, although I am kickign the idea around
of having very specific validation type methods ie.
form_handler::requireInt($field, array $options) or
form_handler::requireRegex($field, $regex), etc.
Thoughts?
You may want consider not reinventing the wheel.
I use this popular forms generation and validation class since about 10
years now. It can deal with pretty much all you need now and probably later.
http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration
Here are some live examples of the class and its plug-ins.

The while loop will continue executing until its condition is false. As
you've got a boolean true as the condition, it will never end.

Shouldn't be max execution time issue if he's running the CLI. Maybe
account limits? Maybe the above snippet isn't what's really happening...
I mean what purpose would the above script serve for 3 hours? Looks like
it's been dumbed down for us dummies on the list.

RE: [PHP] Why [?php while (true) { sleep(5); } ?] dies on CLI?
One of two things is happening:
- PHP is crashing, maybe a memory leak, etc.
Or
- That while(true) loop is exiting, and the script is completing.
Would be interesting to know which, try adding this after the loop:
$fp = fopen('/tmp/test','w');
fputs($fp, 'My script left the loop and exited cleanly. True ==
false.');
fclose($fp);
Back on my first point, have you kept an eye on the memory usage over
the 3 hours? If your version of PHP has a memory leak with while() or
sleep() (would be odd), a bazillion iterrations could break the PHP
defined memory limit (8M by default) and cause it to exit abruptly.
Are you capturing the output anywhere? For example, in Linux is it
being run from cron or another script? Try redirecting STDOUT and
STDERR somewhere useful, i.e.:
php my_php_script /tmp/scriptoutput 21
(21 means output stream 2 [stderr] to the same place as stream 1)
Hope any of these crazy ideas are helpful...

RE: [PHP] Mail function and hotmail
Hello, Thank you all for your cooperation yesterday. I tried PEAR Mail_mime as
follows:
function SendEmail($template, $params){
// Read and open the template file and the image file
$htmlFile = fopen(./templates/$template.html, r);
$txtFile = fopen(./templates/$template.txt, r);
$htmlMsg = fread($htmlFile, filesize(./templates/$template.html));
$textMsg = fread($txtFile, filesize(./templates/$template.txt));
// Replace the template values
foreach($params as $key = $value){
// Template values will always start with two hash marks ##
if(substr($key, 0, 2) == ##){
$htmlMsg = str_replace($key, $value, $htmlMsg);
$textMsg = str_replace($key, $value, $textMsg);
}
}
// Create the appropiate headers
$headers = array(
From = n...@domain.ca,
Reply-To = n...@domain.ca,
Subject = $params[subject],
Organization = Name
);
// Create the mime object
$mime = new Mail_mime();
$mime-setTxtBody($textMsg);
$mime-setHTMLBody($htmlMsg);
$mime-addHTMLImage(templates/emaillogo.jpg, image/jpg,
templates/emaillogo.jpg);
// Set the variables for the Mail object to send the message
$body = $mime-get();
$headers = $mime-headers($headers);
$mail = Mail::factory(mail);
return $mail-send($params[email], $headers, $body);
}
However, hotmail is still getting blank emails when I sent them from my
production machine (CentOS 5.3), however, when I send the message from my
development machine (Visata Ultimate SP1) it does work correctly on hotmail
address . Both machines are running php 5.2 and have the same PEAR packages.
I tried Gmail, Yahoo mail and Thunderbird and they work fine.
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Fernando.

Fernando,
I recommend you check out the various PHP frameworks out there. Instead
of randomly searching for classes for common functionality like sending
an email from your script, you could use the framework's classes. I am
sure all of the frameworks provide classes to send emails. The next
time you need a class to read email from your scripts, you can simply
look for classes your framework of choice provides.
I personally use Zend Framework. But there are many available - Cake,
CI, Symphony, etc.
Also take a look at PEAR like Bastien said.

[PHP] Same Page, Fundamentally Different Behavior OR is Firefox broken?
I'm at a complete loss... So I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to even start looking. We have an application written in PHP that lets users send out emails. The basic process is as follows. 1. Go to start screen. (This resets anything currently in process for the current logged in user) 2. Upload email addresses and other info (Names, etc) 3. Build Email 4. Send In Step 3 the user can click a Live Preview button to see what the email will look like with the merged data. Here's the problem, this works fine in all versions of IE, versions 1.5 or less of FireFox and versions 3 or less of Safari. However, starting in FireFox 2, and now Safari 4, when you get to step four OR click the live preview button in step three there is no more data in the merge. In those browsers the system is acting like the end user went BACK to the start page (in another window?) and reinitialized all the data. I immediately thought it might be pre-fetching so I tried using the system before and after toggling the network.prefetch-next setting in about:config with FireFox 2.0.0.20 and restarting the browser. No luck. So I added code to my reset function to email me the output of phpinfo() when the reset function is called. Using IE I get 1 notification. Using FF I get two notifications. This reinforces my theory that FireFox is prefetching the menu item to start a new mailing (just an a link...) from the top of the composer page. Even still... I've disabled prefetch so it SHOULDN'T even be considering those links right? I've also tried adding artificial ?now=timestamp fakes to the end of all menu links since I read somewhere (don't remember where) that FireFox only prefetches pages with no query section in the address. Has anyone run into this behavior before? Any recommendations on how to stop it? Preferably from the server with code of some sort... Thanks in advance.

RE: [PHP] Mail function and hotmail
I decided to change the call to send to:
$mail = Mail::factory(smtp, array(host = localhost));
return $mail-send($params[email], $headers, $body);
and now hotmail wokrs. Maybe qmail changes something when the mail() function
is used.
Thank you for all your help.

Subject: RE: [PHP] Mail function and hotmail
Hello, Thank you all for your cooperation yesterday. I tried PEAR Mail_mime
as follows:
function SendEmail($template, $params){
// Read and open the template file and the image file
$htmlFile = fopen(./templates/$template.html, r);
$txtFile = fopen(./templates/$template.txt, r);
$htmlMsg = fread($htmlFile, filesize(./templates/$template.html));
$textMsg = fread($txtFile, filesize(./templates/$template.txt));
// Replace the template values
foreach($params as $key = $value){
// Template values will always start with two hash marks ##
if(substr($key, 0, 2) == ##){
$htmlMsg = str_replace($key, $value, $htmlMsg);
$textMsg = str_replace($key, $value, $textMsg);
}
}
// Create the appropiate headers
$headers = array(
From = n...@domain.ca,
Reply-To = n...@domain.ca,
Subject = $params[subject],
Organization = Name
);
// Create the mime object
$mime = new Mail_mime();
$mime-setTxtBody($textMsg);
$mime-setHTMLBody($htmlMsg);
$mime-addHTMLImage(templates/emaillogo.jpg, image/jpg,
templates/emaillogo.jpg);
// Set the variables for the Mail object to send the message
$body = $mime-get();
$headers = $mime-headers($headers);
$mail = Mail::factory(mail);
return $mail-send($params[email], $headers, $body);
}
However, hotmail is still getting blank emails when I sent them from my
production machine (CentOS 5.3), however, when I send the message from my
development machine (Visata Ultimate SP1) it does work correctly on hotmail
address . Both machines are running php 5.2 and have the same PEAR packages.
I tried Gmail, Yahoo mail and Thunderbird and they work fine.
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Fernando.

Fernando,
I recommend you check out the various PHP frameworks out there. Instead
of randomly searching for classes for common functionality like sending
an email from your script, you could use the framework's classes. I am
sure all of the frameworks provide classes to send emails. The next
time you need a class to read email from your scripts, you can simply
look for classes your framework of choice provides.
I personally use Zend Framework. But there are many available - Cake,
CI, Symphony, etc.
Also take a look at PEAR like Bastien said.

Sure - these control structure doesn't make sense - but who would write it
*like that*?
Guess 99% would rather write smth like that:
if (empty($data) || !is_numeric($data)) {
return false;
}
Whis is good.
:-)
It's all about how deep you nest your code, and keeping the flow clean.
That code would be much more readable as such:
function myValidatorFunc($data) {
if (empty(data)) {
throw new BadMethodCallException(Paramater data missing);
}
if (!is_numeric($data)) {
throw new InvalidArgumentException(Paramater data should be an
integer.);
}
}
See the difference?
I believe the article was suggesting not ending a function that returns
a value with no return. So rather than return in the else, return
outside the else as the last expression of the function. This way it is
clear that the function returns a value.
Contrast:
?php
function foo( $foo )
{
if( $foo )
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
?
Versus:
?php
function foo( $foo )
{
if( $foo )
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
?
Personally, I also prefer the latter style.
I don't particularly like scattered returns, and prefer
Function foo;
{
result = false;
if ( ) { $result = 'yellow'; }
elseif ( ) { $result = 'blue'; }
return $result;
}
Well, I like the fact that the process is out of code, when you return
early. On the other hand, a single return is handy... Guess it depends on
the subject.
The discussion ... well.. sounds a bit like
Use a red shoe, your blue ones are crap

I agree with tedd whole heartedly and I want to repeat the importance of

prevent

I'd recommend that you *always* use ENT_QUOTES as the second parameter on
htmlentities or htmlspecialchars. Otherwise a single ' will not be escaped,
which may be evil.
Also be sure that you don't code a possibility to include local or even
remote files: It's so easy to Inject code into logfiles.
include('whatever'.$_REQUEST['var'].'.whatever') is not a sufficient
protection.
Also, like someone already mentioned, *always* prefer _POST over _REQUEST,
when dealing with a FORM with method POST!

[PHP] PHP 5.3.0RC3
Hello! we have packaged PHP 5.3.0RC3, which you can find here: http://downloads.php.net/johannes/ Windows binaries are available here: http://windows.php.net/qa/ This third release candidate focused on bug fixes and stability improvements and we hope to only require minimal changes ahead of the next release. Many, but not all, of the new features are already integrated in the official documentation on php.net. Please not that we are aware of a few minor issues including that we still want to fix for the final release. We are aiming for an RC4 next week followed by the final release in the week after. For most users there will not be a noticeable change meaning that now is the time to really do the final testing of PHP 5.3.0 before it gets released with any unnecessary incompatibilities with your project.

I attempted to create a symlink to the cpp file that I needed for my extension but I get a ton of errors when I try to make the extension and I am guessing it is because this one cpp file that I need requires a ton of other header files. Second question is, I thought I read somewhere that it was possible to create a stand alone extension that did not require the end user to install the .so file and then modify the php.ini file and restart the apache server. How can I do this with my extension and just call/load the .so file in my script(s) that need it?

[PHP] Dynamic Titles
Hello, im trying to make the CMS system im using more SEO friendly by giving
each page it's own title. Right now, the system assigns all pages the same
general title. I would like to use PHP to discertain which page is being viewed
and in turn, which title should be used.
I have put in the title tags the variable $title. As for the PHP im using, I
scripted the following:
$url = http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']''.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']';
switch ( $url )
{
default:
$title = Photoshop tutorials, Flash tutorials, and more! Newtuts
Tutorial Search;
break;
case $config[HTTP_SERVER]help.php :
$title = Newtuts Help;
break;
}
Right now, im getting this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting
T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in
/home/a7201901/public_html/includes/classes/tutorial.php on line 803
Can someone please help me with this?
Thanks!
