Re: [PHP] Character Encoding for em-dash

[Gaurav Kumar]

Thanks Tedd, but I cant make this change in the application UI level code
for this problem. This application is a SAAS and we have certain quality
standards which we need to follow..

Any other suggestion?

Thanks,

[PHP] Exec not functioning

[kronos]

Hi,

I'm trying to utilize EXEC to have some text from a db query converted to  
a wav file using 'espeak'.
The 'espeak' command works admirably by cli, but no matter what I do, exec  
does not

seem to function on my Linux box, even though safe_mode is off.

I've stripped the db query out, and ran a simplified text, 'Hallo Toofie'  
in the code. First off,

I made sure that the espeak code worked by cli. It does.

The code:

	$command = "/usr/bin/espeak -g0 -ven+m3 -p22 -s170 'Hallo Toofie' -w  
aba.wav";


exec($command);

?>


I've tried every combination I can think of including using 'espeak'  
without '/usr/bin',

directing wav output to '-f /home/kronos/aba.wav'.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help, pointers, suggestions appreciated!

In base 10, which you use every day, we go
0

10

The number 10 is the number of distinct digits we use.

In binary we only us two, 0 and 1, so 10 is 2 decimal

So we go

0 = 0 decimal
1 = 1 << important
10 = 2 << important
11 = 3
100 = 4 << important
101 = 5
110 = 6
111 = 7

So binary 111 is 4 + 2 + 1 = 7

Hi Dave,

Sometimes it's helpful to target a specific element for stylistic or
functional purposes, and that's when you'll find an id attribute helpful.

In your example above, label elements use the id in the 'for' attribute
(and, speaking to your example, you should have for="name" instead of
for="txtname"):
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_label.asp

In terms of CSS, you can specifically reference the element by it's id using
the notation tag_name#id_value, and id's have the highest order of
specificity (i.e., if you try and style an element by tag name, class,
and/or id, the id styles are what will take precedent, all other things
equal.)
http://webdesign.about.com/od/cssselectors/qt/cssselid.htm
http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/css_specificity_wars.html

In terms of javascript, you can reference the element by it's id by using
the function getElementById('id_value):
http://www.tizag.com/javascriptT/javascript-getelementbyid.php

Just remember that a particular id can only occur once on a page (another
difference between the name attributes in a form, as you could have multiple
forms on a page and each form could have an input with a "zip" name without
issue, but that same page could only have one id with the value "zip".)

That all said, with the advent of javascript data attributes, you'll have
one more way to target elements for design and functionality:
http://ejohn.org/blog/html-5-data-attributes/

Hope this helps,

Adam

[PHP] Past discussion

[David McGlone]

Hi everyone,

I have been searching the archives for a past discussion where some software 
that some folks use to (I think) save code snippets from e-mails for future 
references or something of such.

Does anyone remember that discussion? I am trying to figure out a good way to 
create my own "wiki" type thing so I can use it to help me and be able to go 
back and review very helpful e-mails or code that was very helpful to my 
understanding of how it works.

Here lately I've been remembering things that were brought up on the list that 
had very helpful info, but remembering what thread they were in or what topic, 
so I can find it in the archives is harder than I thought it would be.

Anyone have any suggestions, techniques or remember that discussion so I can 
find it in the archives again?

Re: [PHP] PHP Trick or Not - You Be the Judge

[Michael Shadle]

biggest difference:

http://php.net/print
print() returns 1, always - which means it's returning a value

http://php.net/echo
doesn't return anything

Sara Golemon's "how long is a piece of string" blog post
(http://blog.libssh2.org/index.php?/archives/28-How-long-is-a-piece-of-string.html
which appears to be down or something right now) I believe shows the
different opcodes (using VLD - http://pecl.php.net/package/vld)

This is a micro-level optimization. I believe echo is "faster" or
"less intensive" because it does not need to return a value, but on
modern CPUs saving a couple ops is probably not that big of a deal
(even thousands of them) - I think the general consensus is "there is
really no difference" last I saw. Only very very small optimizations.

Hey Brandon, do you think you could spend some time reading the Google

As for which is faster... your assertion is right.

People in the past have said that echo and print as actually the same call
within PHP core system.  I have never dug through the core code that makes up
PHP so I cannot confirm this claim.

print_r on the other hand is a totally different thing.  It takes and processes
strings, arrays, objects, etc... So, with that said, it will be much slower.  It
has to detect what type of object it is and then deal with all the pieces.  And
then in the end, output everything to the screen.

Re: [PHP] Problem with SOAP and authentication? SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Unauthorized

[robert mena]

Well,

I've captured using wireshark both communications:

The one that works

POST /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:Y_BS_SIP_DEV:cc_soap_snd_sip_dev
HTTP/1.1

User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1
Host: X.Y.Z.W:5

Using cUrl I tried to mimic the behavior.  The content is the same (I've
even tried to reproduce some of the headers). but I get an error.

[PHP] PHP Trick or Not - You Be the Judge

[Brandon Rampersad]

Hello guys, i was just doing some testing and was wondring if echo is faster
than print or print_r. I think since echo is a language construct and
print_r is a function, echo is faster.

Please let me know.

I understand that technically there are more than 52 weeks in a year.
Well at least google says 1 year = 52.177457 weeks.

So I run the command:
php>  echo date('W' , mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, date('Y')));
53

As you can see the result is 53.

Any thoughts on this?

Try ...

preg_match('/chapters? ?((?:\d++(?:, )?)+)/im', $old_string, $a_Matches))


chapters? ?((?:\d++(?:, )?)+)

Match the characters “chapter” literally «chapter»
Match the character “s” literally «s?»
   Between zero and one times, as many times as possible, giving back
as needed (greedy) «?»
Match the character “ ” literally « ?»
   Between zero and one times, as many times as possible, giving back
as needed (greedy) «?»
Match the regular expression below and capture its match into
backreference number 1 «((?:\d++(?:, )?)+)»
   Match the regular expression below «(?:\d++(?:, )?)+»
  Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible,
giving back as needed (greedy) «+»
  Match a single digit 0..9 «\d++»
 Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible,
without giving back (possessive) «++»
  Match the regular expression below «(?:, )?»
 Between zero and one times, as many times as possible, giving
back as needed (greedy) «?»
 Match the characters “, ” literally «, »

[PHP] Regular Expression to get the whole Comma Separated String in Array Key

[Gaurav Kumar]

Hi All,

Need help in resolving the below problem-


I would like to get the whole comma separated string into an array value-

1. $postText = "chapters 5, 6, 7, 8";
OR
2. $postText = "chapters 5, 6;
OR
3. $postText = "chapters 5, 6, 7";

What i have done so far is-
preg_match('/chapter[s]*[ ]*(\d+, \d+, \d+)/i', $postText, $matches);

The above will exactly match the third value $postText = "chapters 5, 6, 7";

By Above $matches will contain a value of : $matches[1] = '5, 6, 7';

Now i need a SINGLE regular expression which can match first, second
variable above or any number of comma separated string and IMPORTANTLY
provide me that whole comma separated sting value (as above) in single array
key element like below-

$matches[1] = '5, 6, 7';
OR
$matches[1] = '5, 6';
OR
$matches[1] = '5, 6, 7, 8, 9';


Also I have to use regular expression only as the flow of the code does not
permit to use any other method to get comma separated string from the
master/base string.

Thanks,

Gaurav Kumar

Thank you for your answer Ted, You are right, well, I do have my

switch ($level){

case 1:

include ("sales.php");

break;

case 2:

include ("superuser.php");

break;

}


Try:

case 0:
header('location:admin.php');
exit();
break;

Instead of includes.



Now I'm wondering if every page has to have something like:

if ($level==2){

} else {

}



Of course, you must check the level of permission granted to the user 
before allowing them to see any protected page.


I would suggest using a $_SESSION['level'] during logon to set the 
level of permission and then on each protected page do something like 
this:


$level = isset($_SESSION['level']) ? $_SESSION['level'] : null;

if($level < 2)
   {
   // redirect to somewhere else
  header('location:admin.php');
  exit();
   }

   // this will allow the super-user (level 2) to see everything 
while redirecting everyone else elsewhere

(Hint: isset != empty)



(Another hint: with !empty(), you told PHP, "if it's not empty."
Now, with !isset(), you're saying, "if it's not set.")




(Answer: Remove the exclamation point from !isset().)

I would prefer to use is_array() here:

if (is_array($val))

At this point, you've just proved that $val is an array (whichever test you

[PHP] form validation code

[David Mehler]

Hello,
I've been looking at this to long, and am not seeing the issue. When i
had the below php code set to !empty instead of !isset as it is now I
got the value of the name variable echoed back, yet on sql insert that
field, along with all others are empty, though no error is generated,
just a bogus record is inserted.
When I changed to !isset I'm now getting the die statement echoed as
if no value was passed from the form. This is not the case, I filled
it out completely.
Can anyone tell me where this code went wrong?
Thanks.
Dave.

Html form:
Fields marked with a * (star) are required.


Name*:
 











php Code:
// Check if fields are isset
echo "Field Checs.";
if (!isset($_POST['name'])) {
echo "The value of Name is " . $_POST['name']. "";
} else {
die('ERROR: Missing value - Event Name');
}
