I considered this of course. But...
[a] Other coders will no doubt take a completed page as a template and modify,
thereby causing MORE erroneous syntactical code.
[b] I can't think of any other language that uses parenthesis for an 'include'
(C, Perl, Java, Ruby, etc.) with the exception of
maybe LOLcode.
[c] It does seem to be the PHP blessed way (PEAR or not) looking at their
examples even.
[d] it was a good exercise in learning more about 'sed', 'find' and bash pipes.
Not that I wrote it all, but deciphering what others
showed me really helped.
[e] because I'm a guy and a coder, and that's what we do. We do stuff 'just
cause' and we 'refactor' useless shit for our own
satisfaction. ;-)

Well now, I am confused because these pages:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.require.php
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.require-once.php
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.include-once.php
All show them as functions:
Include(), require(), require_once(), include_once()
Yet ALL of their examples show the PEAR way:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.including.php
include_once "a.php";
I opted to just do it anyways since it seems that is the "official" way.
To change all require_once('foo.php'); to require_once 'foo.php' execute this:
cd /var/www/
find . -name '*.php' -print | xargs egrep -l \
'require_once\s*(\(.*\));'\ | xargs sed -i.sedorig -e \
's/require_once\s*(\(.*\));/require_once \1;/'
(thanks to Robert Hajime Lanning for that)
Then to remove all the ".php.sedorig" backup files execute this:
find . -name "*.php.sedorig" -type f -exec rm -rf {} \;
I tried to post this note to here:
http://us2.php.net/manual/add-note.php
But the stupid-ass form says:
"Your note contains a prohibited (usually SPAM) word. Please remove it and try
again."
WTF!? It doesn't even TELL me what f'n word is the problem. Seriously? It
already asked me the stupid math question and now this
B.S.?

Yes, that would be a way to go. Another alternative is to re-start the session each time you want to write an updated value into it and then immediately close it again. The cost of opening and closing a session to write a value into it compared to opening and closing a file to write a value into it may be a factor here, but I leave that comparison as an exercise for the reader.

Well, you're main problem here is that you are only using a single =
character. What that is saying to PHP is: "if you let me assign the
value of $beverage to $row[3] then do this next bit", but what I think
you wanted it to say was "if $row[3] is the same as $beverage then do
this next bit", which would need == instead of =

Wow! Well, first what is it you want to do? Make another iGoogle or Gmail, as they are both pretty different beasts. One is a page of 'gadgets' as you call them, the other is a web-based email application. I'm guessing from your post that PHP is new to you. First then, I guess you need to decide on where are you getting the gadget parts from? If you can find things online that you can embed as Flash apps or iframes, then you probably won't need PHP at all. If you are planning on building them yourself, then you really will need to learn PHP. There is no magic solution to this question I'm afraid, and the scope of it is pretty huge, so you need to think about the parts that make it up and tackle each one.

[PHP] Change styling depending on var value
I am trying to style HTML table cells depending on the values stored in
a MySQL db. Thanks to other on this list, I can now refer to the
variable that holds a CSS styling value.
Now, I need to apply different values of that variable, depending on the
content of the table cell itself.
I tried something like this, where $row[3] contains string values:
$entree ="meat";
$dessert ="ice cream";
$beverage="coffee";
(then the query that returns the data)
if ($row[3] = $entree)
{
$rowcolor = "color:red";
elseif ($row[3] = $dessert)
{
$rowcolor = "color:blue";
elseif ($row[3] = $beverage)
{
$rowcolor = "color:green";
}
else
{
$rowcolor ="color:black";
}
I think I'm not properly expressing that I want the values in the
$row[3] compared to those in the specified vars

You're right about trying to use the same session - that was the plan to get the
progress state passed across from one call to the other.
Closing the session on the generator script has the effect of stopping any
further changes to the session variable, so I get the initial value at each
request after that.
I put together a simple "Generator" script to test this:
10,'count'=>0);
for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++)
{
sleep(1);
$_SESSION[$fcode]['count']++;
}
echo "Done";
?>
and the code for the progress backend is like this:

been very verbose on purpose so you get the idea ->
$newItem = ''; // your new node to insert
$items = $dom->getElementsByTagName("item");
$firstItem = $items->item(0);
$clothes = $firstItem->parentNode;
$newItem = $clothes->insertBefore( $newItem , $firstItem );
short version is..
$y = $dom->getElementsByTagName("item")->item(0);
$Xitem = $y->parentNode->insertBefore( $Xitem, $y );
please note: haven't checked this but should all work.
problem with your code was you were supplying $y which was a
DOMNodeList; and as the docs say: "If not supplied, newnode is appended
to the children." which yuo can translate as it'll be appended if the
second param of insertBefore is incorrect i guess.

I agree. That's a PEAR coding standard, so unless you're coding a PEAR
package it doesn't matter. It's the PEAR groups opinion. If you look
at some other project, they may require the parentheses for readability.

The progress-counter Ajax script uses a session -- but does the PDF generator
use the same session? If so, I'm guessing you don't manually close the session
at any point and all the progress-checking calls are blocked until the session
auto-commits at the end of the generator script. To counter this, you need to
manually session_commit() somewhere near the beginning of the generator script.

[PHP] Does PHP block requests?
I have a tricky problem.
I'm trying to make a progress feedback mechanism to keep users informed about a
slowish process on the server end of a web app. The backend is generating a PDF
file from a bunch of data which extends to many pages. I can keep tabs on the
progress of this generation by working out how many lines of data is present,
and how much of it has been processed. I use that information to set a session
variable with a unique name - so for each step I set
$_SESSION['some-unique-name']=>Array('total'=>$totalLines,'count'=>$linesProcessedSoFar);
Now on the front end I'm doing an AJAX call to a script that just encodes this
session variable into a JSON string and sends it back.
The problem is that while the PDF is being generated, the AJAX calls to get the
progress data (on a 1-second interval) are being blocked and I don't get why.
The PDF generation is also triggered by an AJAX call to a script which generates
the PDF in a given file location, then returns a URL to retrieve it with.
So it appears that the problem is that I can't have two AJAX calls to different
PHP scripts at the same time? WTF?
Checking the requests with Wireshark confirms the the browser is certainly
sending the progress calls while the original PDF call is waiting, so it's not
the browser side that's the problem: and once the PDF call is finished the
outstanding progress calls are all serviced (returning 100% completion of course
- not much use!) Different browsers (Firefox, IE, Chrome at least) give the same
result.
For reference, the server is Apache 2.2.10 on a SuSE linux 11.1 box using
mod_php5 and mpm_prefork - is that part of the problem, and is there an
alternative?

[PHP] DOM append to the top
Yo!
I have a working form that adds user input to an XML file, it adds the
new "item" element to the bottom of the list of previously created
"item" elements.
I would now like the new elements to be added to the top of the list.
So far i've tried using: insertBefore() but i'm still getting elements
added to the bottom.
The XML looks like:
...
...
...
<- new items are added here
This is what my code looks like:
$y = $dom -> getElementsByTagName("item");
$dom -> documentElement -> insertBefore($Xitem,$y);
If trying to pass the top most "item" node to insertbefore() but
without any luck. Any ideas ?

bit of integration testing certainly won't harm you.

You could try something like this:
find . -maxdepth 1 -name "*.php" -type f -exec sed -i 's/find
text/replace text/' {} \;
Note that the find and replace strings are regular expressions,
separated by the / character here, so ()'s will need to be escaped as
they have a special meaning in regular expressions. The maxdepth
parameter of find can be set to higher than 1 to let the script work
recursively on files within directories.
