[PHP] SimpleXML var_dump() weirdness
Hi,
It seems that var_dump() of a SimpleXMLElement does not show an
attribute of elements that contain text content?
I hope my examples might show what I mean:
$xml = '';
$simple = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
var_dump($simple);
echo $simple->asXML();
This results in:
object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (2) {
["@attributes"]=>
array(1) {
["rootattr"]=>
string(10) "root value"
}
["inner"]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (1) {
["@attributes"]=>
array(1) {
["attr"]=>
string(5) "value"
}
}
}
...and that's fine, though it would have been nice to also know that the
root element is called "root".
The second example manifests the weirdness:
$xml = 'attr="value">text';
$simple = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
var_dump($simple);
echo $simple->asXML();
Outputs:
object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (2) {
["@attributes"]=>
array(1) {
["rootattr"]=>
string(10) "root value"
}
["inner"]=>
string(4) "text"
}
text
Notice that the attribute "attr" of the element "inner" is not displayed.
In the third case, I replace the content of the "inner" element with
another element:
$xml = 'attr="value">';
$simple = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
var_dump($simple);
echo $simple->asXML();
Outputs:
object(SimpleXMLElement)#1 (2) {
["@attributes"]=>
array(1) {
["rootattr"]=>
string(10) "root value"
}
["inner"]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (2) {
["@attributes"]=>
array(1) {
["attr"]=>
string(5) "value"
}
["deep"]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#3 (0) {
}
}
}
The "invisible" attributes are still accessible with xpath(), etc (the
asXML() dump shows that it is still present, but just not visible. This
might be a bug? Or am I just not understanding something?
Cheers,
Mattias

[PHP] Signing (hand-written signature) pdf document
Hi... I'm thinking about a document management system that can put user signature on the created digital document. Here's the app-flow I can imagine ... My php application creates a pdf document. The pdf document is displayed to user. Using the digital pen, the user will put his/her signature on this document. or Using the touch screen, the user will put his/her signature. The pdf document with the user signature is saved to the db. Has anyone done this before ??

RE: [PHP] How to bypass (pipe) curl_exec return value directly to a file?
uhm, right, I should have better explain that option ... still, if timelimit is 0, I guess connection timeout matters, maybe I am wrong. Thanks.

If you're re-using a curl handle then it may be a good idea to set
these explicitly. However, these are also the default values so it's
not really necessary to set them for a new handle. You're right that
it's a good idea to include the 'b' in the fopen() mode.
> curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 0);
I wouldn't recommend setting this to 0 unless you're very sure that
the connection will succeed; otherwise, your script will hang
indefinitely waiting for the connection to be made.

There's a scalar type-hinting patch floating around somewhere, but
then your code would only work on machines with that patch.

I can see two choices - either throw an exception in checkInt() if
it's passed anything except an int or a string (which is fine -
because you've made the assumption explicit) or change the checkInt()
so it deals with ints-masquerading-as-floats. Try:
function checkInt($x) {
return((string)((int)$x) == $x);
}

Yup. Pretty graphs. That's not the best unit test example to work
from, BTW - the manual will give you better advice than I.

oops, I sent directly the file name. Let me reformulate the code then:
set_time_limit(0);
$fp = fopen('stream.bin', 'wb');
$ch = curl_init($siteURL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_exec($ch);
fclose($fp);
Apologize I did not test it before.

Use the CURLOPT_FILE option to set the output to write to the file
handle given by the option's value (which must be a writable file
handle). For instance:
$ch = curl_init($url);
$fp = fopen('/tmp/curl.out', 'w');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_exec($ch);
Error checking etc. is of course left up to you. :)
Good luck,
Torben
