Re: [PHP] pass by reference variable length args
viraj wrote: if func_get_args supports pass by reference, we could have avoid the loop and pre-defined arg list. something like.. extract(func_get_args) :D Absolute! I'm not sure why there isn't some kind of way to retrieve a reference in this manner, but I suspect it's related to knowing which parameters were set as reference appropriate values. For instance contrast the following: bind_stuff( $id, $test ); Versus the following: bind_stuff( 5, $test ); Defining the function parameters to use references will generate a fatal error when 5 is passed since this is a fatal error. How then to enable variable args to achieve the same result? I guess one could ask PHP to support something like the following: $args = func_bind_args( array( true, true ) ); Where $args would then contain a reference where the corresponding index was set to true in the argument list. Since this isn't very variable, then the last index set would denote the default for all other args. Thus the example above could be shortened: $args = func_bind_args( array( true ) ); Or even: $args = func_bind_args( true ); Since this is run-time too, then PHP could generate an E_WARNING instead of E_FATAL and bind a copy instead when no reference was passed. On further thought, the current func_get_args() could be adapted in this manner since it currently accepts no arguments. Anyways... just thoughts. I hit this problem in the past too :) Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] How to get a string from C library into PHP via SWIG?
This is going to the list per Nathan's suggestion. I confess I am doing this the hard way because I want to get a handle on how to pass across that boundary. My current angle of attack is to use the malloc.i functions in swig to handle those strings. I will keep you all posted. I know you care. :-) Eric I have a software library that parses strings into a C language structure. It is a utility for C programmers. It contains a utility function that takes the output structure and formats it as a string for display. The goal is to demonstrate the functionality by permitting users to enter strings into a text box and press a button. The string will be passed into my code, parsed, formatted as a different kind of string, and returned, where it will be displayed on the web site. The code is being shipped as a Windows DLL but for the web site I am working with Linux dynamic libraries (*.so). I am able to call functions within the binary from PHP now, but pointers within PHP are not working far less crossing the PHP/C Line Of Death without dying. please keep the responses on list for the benefit of others. well, if you have an .so, honestly i might spend the effort to wrap it up in a simple extension. but if you want to roll something out quickly, i would probly just invoke it over the shell via shell_exec() or similar. i cant imagine what sort of noticeable impact you would see in performance going over the shell in this case. honestly, i think the question is how much work do you want to do. also, do you intend to share this functionality w/ other php programers, that might be an argument for an extension. do you already have a C based program that loads up the library from the cli and uses STDIN / STDOUT, if so i think going over the shell is a no-brainer..

[PHP] How to get a string from C library into PHP via SWIG?
I have a need to call a C language function from a PHP script. The function, which I wrote, looks like this: /* * foo(): Takes a string in sIn and writes another string into sOut according to what is passed in, and the * value at *pcch. Will not write more than *pcch bytes to output, including null terminator. * Upon return, *pcch contains number of chars written to sOut. */ void foo(const char * sIn, char * sOut, size_t * pcch); So basically I need to pass down a string, and get back a string. I have been using swig but clearly I ain't getting it (I am good in C but new to PHP). Lots of warnings, crashes, and so on. No happiness. The swig docs show how to pass strings between python, java, etc., and C, but nothing on C <---> PHP. Can anyone help me with a fragment of sample code, or a link?

Aren't you just opening the file? I think that you need to print it in some way
suitable to your application.
Try using fread() or other function to read the contents of the file.
Well, I tried, and here is the complete code of the portion I just edited:
#Load the Map
$ourFileName= "USA_Counties_with_FIPS_and_names.svg";
$fh = fopen($ourFileName, "r") or die("Can't open file");
$contents = fread($fh,filesize($ourFileName));
echo $contents;
fclose($fh);
Now I get something on the screen, but still no image: image/svg+xml
Um, is there anything particular I need to put in my code?
Thanks in advance.

View the source of your browser. Is it showing the SVG code? You need to output
the correct mime-type headers for the SVG, as by default, PHP outputs headers
for HTML. Something like this should do the trick:
header("Content-type: image/svg+xml");
This has to occur before any output has already been sent to the browser,
otherwise you'll get a headers already sent error.
Thanks, this time it does the trick.

RE: [PHP] SVG and PHP
Hi,
Just went online and saw an SVG generated from Python, and wanted to do the
similar thing by loading the SVG into an PHP script. Here is the script that I
have:
The problem is that my screen appears as blank even though I could open up
USA_Counties_with_FIPS_and_names.svg and see the entire US Map. Does anyone
know what I might have done wrong here?
Aren't you just opening the file? I think that you need to print it in some way
suitable to your application.
Try using fread() or other function to read the contents of the file.
Well, I tried, and here is the complete code of the portion I just edited:
#Load the Map
$ourFileName= "USA_Counties_with_FIPS_and_names.svg";
$fh = fopen($ourFileName, "r") or die("Can't open file");
$contents = fread($fh,filesize($ourFileName));
echo $contents;
fclose($fh);
Now I get something on the screen, but still no image: image/svg+xml
Um, is there anything particular I need to put in my code?
Thanks in advance.

If you go the fopen route, you need to get the contents of the file and
print them out to the browser, with the correct SVG headers. All you're
doing here creating a read-only resource to the file.

Re: [PHP] If design patterns are not supposed to produce reusable code then why use them?
A pattern is simply a device used to skip out on costly dollars (as opposed to cheap dollars). Software development is a low loyalties field. When new workers come in and old ones are laid off, or when the project is complete and you will likely not be working on the project again in the future, design patterns can be useful. Loosely stepping withing the confines of a pattern can be of great benefit (as well as safe a ton of documentation - if you like leaving assumptions - the mortal enemy of the programmer.). There are times when I look over project and can pick out a simple, or sometimes simply anal, programmer. Forcing square pegs into round holes, and round holes into diamond pegs. If you are lost on that, you know the feeling I get when I try to understand why someone would subject their logic solely to the pattern. Like any other system, there needs to be room for well documented deviations. This being said, I am a fan of transactional patterns. A program is like a city. While structure is important, the "transactions" amongst it's denizens are the focus. While the structure may be able to handle all transactions at first, growth will likely force expensive and extensive remodeling. Tepees vs Skyscrapers, I guess. This is probably fragmented, but so is my brain right now. :) On Mon, Jan 4, 2010 at 8:30 AM, Robert Cummings wrote: > Richard Quadling wrote: > >> 2009/12/30 Tony Marston : >> >>> I have recently been engaged in an argument via email with someone who >>> criticises my low opinion of design patterns (refer to >>> http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/design-patterns.html ).

It has always been used by Slackware to indicate specific control files have been added for their package manager.

Well I thought about that when I posted. If all you're concerned about
is the filename then my first example works great, for the second to get
the full extension you would set a limit to only return the first part
before the . and then all the rest (assuming that the rest is the
extension):
list($filename, $extension) = explode('.', 'archive.tar.gz', 2);
Of course this doesn't work for something like 'My.Word.Document.docx'
or 'archive_v2.0.1.tar.gz', but I don't know what will with extensions
being variable length and possibly composed of multiple periods.

Well I thought about that when I posted. If all you're concerned about
is the filename then my first example works great, for the second to get
the full extension you would set a limit to only return the first part
before the . and then all the rest (assuming that the rest is the
extension):
list($filename, $extension) = explode('.', 'archive.tar.gz', 2);
Of course this doesn't work for something like 'My.Word.Document.docx'
or 'archive_v2.0.1.tar.gz', but I don't know what will with extensions
being variable length and possibly composed of multiple periods.

outputs ...
Original : archve.tar.gz
Pathinfo : archve.tar / gz
Substr (right) : archve.tar / .gz
Substr (left): archve / .tar.gz
List : archve / tar
The only option that seems to be working here (and one that wasn't
previously suggested) is to use
$substr_left_name = substr($file, 0, strpos($file, '.'));
$substr_left_extension = substr($file, strpos($file, '.'));

PHPBB uses the substr() function along with the strrpos() function to grab the extension from a file. You could do something like this: (untested - I always forget the order of the params!) $name = substr($filename, 0, strrpos($filename, '.')); Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

There are a couple of ways you could do this. The most straightforward way would be to use the pathinfo() function. See http://php.net/pathinfo for more information about that function. You could also explode() it and do something with that, or you could or use some of the other many string manipulation functions. I think pathinfo() is easiest. -- Daniel Egeberg -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] splitting a string
Hi all, first time I have posted here so please be nice. I am using PEAR HTTP_Upload to handle multiple file uploads. What I need to do is to take the file name which is output using the getProp() function and then remove the file extension from the end of the file for example: Original name held in the getProp() array [name] "word_doccument.docx" I need to put this into a string such as $filename = $props['name']; I then need to separate the file name from the file extension. I have been reading the php manual do please don't bother referring me to that. Thanks in advance.

[PHP] Luhn (modulo 10) check digit calculator
Hi all. Perhaps a lazy request, but does anybody have some cut-n-paste code to calculate a Luhn check-digit? It's a check-digit often added to the end of things like credit card or account numbers to make detecting typo's a bit easier. I found lots of code to validate a number once the check-digit is applied, but nothing to calculate the digit in the first place. Thanks in advance ! Angus
