I was sure filter_input would work on nested levels. But it doesn't as
you point out.

You could do something like this if you want to filter the same types

array_walk_recursive($_POST, function(&$value) {
$value = filter_var($value, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
});

Consider preg_replace() with that same pattern.  Or, at the most
involved, preg_replace_callback().

I think that is the major part of the 'problem'. I just want to run the SAME 
code that runs on the laptops on the tablets ... I don't need any of the parts 
that are specific to a mobile phone :(


The PHP for Android needs a lot more extensions added to do that.

foreach cannot work in this situation has filter_input does not work
recursively and work only on the first level of $_POST (or $_GET)
so the best solution seems to be to use filter_var($_POST['var']['var2']);

You can foreach the $_Post['login'] array and use filter_input on each
iteration to do the filtering.
Or maybe the filter_input_array is a better place to look at. The manual

AFAIK android runs java programs using a custom JVM.  So any app on those 
devices will need to run in java. Not sure that you couldn't port the php 
engine to that, and it would be an interesting task.
That is the bit I'm wanting to do I think, I have no plans to rewrite 5 years

It all runs quite happily on a laptop and syncs back when internet is available

AFAIK android runs java programs using a custom JVM.  So any app on those 
devices will need to run in java. Not sure that you couldn't port the php

I took the ZCE exam and I used "The Zend PHP Certification Practice
Test Book" and the "Zend PHP Certification Study Guide". Both of these
are for PHP4 (though I never actually used PHP4) - so no good now -
unless you use PHP4 of course.

There is a PHP 5 Study Guide
(http://www.phparch.com/books/phparchitects-zend-php-5-certification-study-guide-2nd-edition/)

I have the first edition, so a little out of date now but I do get a
free PDF of the 2nd edition.

[PHP] 'Mobile' PHP

2011-09-23 Thread Lester Caine 
OK, I can see 'PHP for Android' which seems to have stalled, and I've been 
playing with other options, but I'm not currently happy with any of this 
'mobile' stuff.


The 'problem' is quite simple ... While mobile broadband might work in some 
quite limited areas of the UK - like in bigger towns - it's reliability even in 
smaller towns is simply getting worse! So a number of my customers have been 
asking me to provide a backup system which is working fine on laptops, but these 
are a little cumbersome when the guys have to work away from the vehicles. 
Tablets via broadband work ... while one can get a signal ... and in many areas 
around here even getting a PHONE signal depends on where you stand ... so I need 
a working local PHP setup which can take over and provided things like access 
codes and the like while out of range, and update the main database when back in 
range.


Android, mobile windows and the like currently seem very restrictive when it 
comes to this type of development, so has anybody got any ideas on how to 
proceed? I though that Android was essentially a strangled version of Linux, so 
it should be able to run any Linux application?
