[PHP] XML with PHP
Hi
I am trying to read XML files (invoices) from a directory and display
them to the visitor. Each XML file contains several invoices. The
visitor then clicks on the XML file (invoices). My PHP snippet should
open the xml file and locate the appropriate invoice and display the
content.
I have managed to list the directory contents using the following PHP
snippet. The function call below DisplayBill($MemberId, $FileName,
$StyleSheet) should take the memberid (login), the xml file name which
has been clicked and the stylesheet to be used.
I now have the following doubts for which I need clarifications
Architecturally is it necessary the DisplayBill should be a seperate php
file or can it exist as a function in the same file as the code below?
Should the Invoices be displayed as a web form for me to capture the
user click to retrieve the appropriate file and invoice so that I can
display it to the user.
I intend to parse the XML file using XPath (at this stage I am not sure
if php supports Xpath and XQuery!)
Any help would be appreciated
Best regards
Sridhar

Most often I'll use that sort of syntax if I do something like this: $greeting = Hello $name, not seen you since $date; which might be slower than: $greeting = 'Hello ' . $name . ', not seen you since ' . $date; but it is a whole lot neater and still gets syntax highlighting applied in a decent IDE or editor. Thanks, Ash Agreed. Making things easy for both you and the programmer who follows is more important than cutting a few nanoseconds off compute time. After all, just displaying that information (i.e., echo) will take far more time and even vary more than that between monitors.

[PHP] Does array_splice() fit for case ?
Hello,
This is kinda a noob question, but that's what i am :)
I have a 2 dimensions array (the first dimension are normal keys ) and in
the second dimension haves custom arrays but they all have a comon key that
is *id.
*The array comes ascending ordered by the numbers of *id* .
When i receive this array i need to look for and array that haves the
*id*== 0, so i do a for loop looking for it and i unset this values
after
that.
But need i need that the unset array looks like this sub-array never existed
( eg. if the key that with id = 0 was 5, the 5 will the number 6 and
6 the 7 and so on).
Here is the code:
?php
// $data the name of the array
//Look for the main email
for ($i = 0; $i count($data); $i++) {
if ($data[$i]['id'] === 0) {
// It can't be empty
if (!empty($data[$i])) {
$this-email = $data[$i]['contact'];
$main_email_found = true;
}
unset($data[$i]);
}
}
?
I have tree ways of doing this:
- Use a method that i that looks from duplicate entru based on the *id *key
as index and after and return the array ordered by this index.
- Adding a new entry to another array in this loop that not haves the
*id*== 0. and after that reverse the order
- Use the array_splice native function.
What do you recommend me ?
Sorry by the bad English.

[PHP] Upload using FTP commands
Hi, I want to give my client the ability to upload large files ( around 20MB ) to a webspace. I reckon that using the FTP commands of PHP would be the best bet, but is it possible to allow them to do this through an online form. This is my vision: the client logs in to a form that has an upload button, and the upload button uses the FTP commands to upload the file. Is that do-able in PHP ?

[PHP] pecl/oauth - possible to send HTTP request myself?
The typical way to use pecl/oauth seems to use OAuth::fetch which does everything including sending the HTTP request using curl or php streams. I'd like to be able to use pecl/oauth to do everything up to and including calculating the signature but then send the request using different code. The reason for this is that I am using a web framework (internal) that can aggregate requests using curl_multi and do them asynchronously (Rasmus surely knows what I'm referring to :-)). I imagine this could be useful also for others who need to make their requests go through proxies. I know that I can call oauth_get_sbs to get the sbs which is probably the most error-prone part of doing OAuth so that's good. But is it possible to take it a step further and get pecl/oauth to return the curl handle it would've used (with OAuth stuff already stuffed in the url or request headers) without executing it? Basically I want to decouple OAuth signature calculation from network communication. Possible? -Marc http://marc-abramowitz.com Sent from my iPhone 3G
Re: [PHP] Upload using FTP commands
Take a look here: http://us.php.net/manual/en/ref.ftp.php You might have some issues with the memory limit in PHP so that might have to be boosted for 20MB files.

You would have to set up your server to allow large files to be uploaded in order for them to be used by PHP, and by that time, unless you're putting them onto a remote server, there's no point in using the FTP functions of PHP. What I've found quite reliable is to use PHP to create FTP user accounts, which they can then log in to and upload files as they need. HTTP was not really intended for uploading large files, but FTP is, and every OS has some form of FTP software built in that can be used very easily. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

The manual page says that the output is the HTML code, which is exactly what you're getting. Your browser is responsible for interpreting those tags, based on the mime header that it receives from PHP (which is text/html by default) You should only ever need to change this header when you are outputting some other type of content, like XML, an image, etc. If you change your PHP script and add this line before you output any content you will see the tags as your browser will interpret them as plain text (Internet Explorer may screw this up, as it tends to ignore header mime types more often than not): header(Content-type: text/plain); Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
[PHP] Re: Web application architecture (subdomain vs. sub directory)
Thank you everyone for your generous feedback. It's given me a lot to think about. I now realize that my question has as much to do with DNS and Apache as with PHP. As we clarify the functionality and essence of the app, I'll post again with more focussed questions. Based on advice here and elsewhere, I think we're tending toward a an no framework MVC approach and sub-directory model to get started. As Per so elegantly stated The subdirectory approach is easily rewritten to an internal subdomain structure. So if we need to pivot to a subdomain model we can do so. Tim

Ashley makes a nice point. When I have control over the server, I don't use PHP's FTP capabilities at all. However, on some shared severs you're only HTTP upload options are to set a directory to 777 (Yikes!), or do some work with PHP's FTP functions. What I've done in the past on shared hosts is setup an upload FTP account that has access to one directory. Then, I develop a form to upload the file. Once a file is uploaded, I use PHP's FTP functions to place the file in the directory. This way I avoid the security issues of 777, maintain an easy-to-use interface (some clients don't want to use FTP), and continue to use the hosting the client prefers. There is a cost to this method, but sometimes it's worth the cost. Just another way of doing things. Adam -- Nephtali: PHP web framework that functions beautifully http://nephtaliproject.com
[PHP] Making multiple RSS feeds for the blog website
Hi everyone, We are developing a blog service website. What we need now is the ability to make multiple RSS feeds from several pages (an RSS of each user's blog, a feed from each timeline - timelines are our representation of users' favorites; a feed filled with comments to a separate entry, etc.). What would be great is the following: a user enters, say, in my blog and sees the mark that there are RSS feeds. Then he/she clicks the mark or presses a keystroke (Alt+J in IE8, for instance), finds the feed and double-clicks on it. Then he/she can either read the feed or subscribe to it. The feeds have usually file extensions of .rss or .xml. Question: how do we do that with PHP?

Subject: [PHP] Making multiple RSS feeds for the blog website
Hi everyone,
We are developing a blog service website.
What we need now is the ability to make multiple RSS feeds from
several pages (an RSS of each user's blog, a feed from each timeline -
timelines are our representation of users' favorites; a feed filled
with comments to a separate entry, etc.). What would be great is the
following: a user enters, say, in my blog and sees the mark that there
are RSS feeds. Then he/she clicks the mark or presses a keystroke
(Alt+J in IE8, for instance), finds the feed and double-clicks on it.
Then he/she can either read the feed or subscribe to it. The feeds
have usually file extensions of .rss or .xml.
Question: how do we do that with PHP?
Thanks!

In otherwords, to paraphrase:
DBAG_MODE
We have this super cool new idea that's going to revolutionize the web and
blogs and cloud computing and we might even create our own new buzzword. We
heard you can do this with PHP. We just don't have any code written, so
could you guys write it for us. That'd be swell. kthxbye.
;-)
Dude. Andre. Let me break it down like a fraction, as to how this list
works.
YOU post some code that you are struggling with, or you post some SPECIFIC
question, and the generous subscribers to this list decide if your question
is worthy of their time to reply.
Your question (for lack of a better term) was devoid of either of those
things.
Now, had you said, How can I formulate an RSS feed?, I might point you to
this:
http://www.phpclasses.org/package/560-PHP-XML-RSS-feed-generator-for-conten
t-syndication-.html
Or if you had said, How does one double click? (since that is NOT a
web-friendly navigation method by default), I might point you in this
direction:
script
onload = function () {
document.getElementById(textarea).ondblclick = function () {
alert('Double Clicked!') }
}
/script
then this in the body
textarea id=textarea/textarea
Or even if you said, How do I steal, er um, read an XML file from another
site? Then someone might show you these functions (since you clearly
missed them when you RTFPM)
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php
But again, your question was so vague that I (and everyone else) probably
has nowhere to begin to help you and therefore most likely won't. Given the
above advice, you might consider breaking your questions down into PHP
related specific examples.

Hello,
This is kinda a noob question, but that's what i am :)
I have a 2 dimensions array (the first dimension are normal keys ) and in
the second dimension haves custom arrays but they all have a comon key that
is *id.
*The array comes ascending ordered by the numbers of *id* .
When i receive this array i need to look for and array that haves the
*id*== 0, so i do a for loop looking for it and i unset this values
after
that.
But need i need that the unset array looks like this sub-array never existed
( eg. if the key that with id = 0 was 5, the 5 will the number 6 and
6 the 7 and so on).
Here is the code:
?php
// $data the name of the array
//Look for the main email
for ($i = 0; $i count($data); $i++) {
if ($data[$i]['id'] === 0) {
// It can't be empty
if (!empty($data[$i])) {
$this-email = $data[$i]['contact'];
$main_email_found = true;
}
unset($data[$i]);
}
}
?
I have tree ways of doing this:
- Use a method that i that looks from duplicate entru based on the *id *key
as index and after and return the array ordered by this index.
- Adding a new entry to another array in this loop that not haves the
*id*== 0. and after that reverse the order
- Use the array_splice native function.
What do you recommend me ?
Sorry by the bad English.
