Couldn't see any other way. *nix strtotime is supposed to use locale.
Fixed that for me:
$date = '20/12/1971';
$d = explode('/', $date);
echo mktime(0 ,0, 0, $d[1], $d[0],$d[2]).\n;

Re: [PHP] Send process to background
Here's what I'm trying to do. There is a script that is called through a web request. That same script is responsible for backing up a whole site (and database) to .tar.gz files. Evidently, this will take a while. My first requirement was that it should _NOT_ deppend on external libraries (ie. pecl, modules and such). It has to be self-sustained. As such, it will take a bit longer to execute. All I need is a way to send a function to background, and to finish the request telling the user that the backup is being made. At that time, it should continue executing the backup untill it has been completed. If I can manage to do this, I will be able to make an application that pools the same page (it will store a status) to know if it's doing anything, if it has finished, if an error ocurred, or if the backup can be downloaded to our fileservers.

Is there a simple function like sort() that could do it?? Hi! Its a real shame your dates aren't stored in a DATE type field instead of VARCHAR, because you can just sort them in your query with order by DATE. If its possible, you would really benefit by converting them and storing them in the proper DATE type field. That being said, I suppose you could explode() them into an array then figure out how to sort them from there.

Do you mean that you have a page like this, for example:

?php
$variable=85;
if( $variable85 ){
do things;
}
?
And you wish to permanently change the value of $variable to 86?
You could use file rewriting functions to do this. Look in the manual for
fputs, fread, fwrite and their friends.
If you wish to change the value temporarily for a single user visit
(session), use a session variable to store it. If you wish to change it for
a period of time, then perhaps consider using a class to retrieve the
variable.

Alternatively use the ps shell command to check that a process with that PID is still running, but that tends to be less reliable. If the process does decide to continue in spite of the PID file existing it should issue a a shell kill command to kill that PID in case it's hung or a zombie. -Stut Excelent point! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

When deppending on authentication, never link the files directly. You can create a download.php file that gets an ID through the URL, checks if the user is authenticated and then read the file. You will need these functions: http://pt.php.net/file_get_contents http://pt.php.net/header Header() is to send the mime type, and file_get_contents is to read the file's contents (DOH). If you run into trouble, you can (in the order given ;): 1) Read the user's comments on both functions.

be appreciated if it can be done with a regular expression - saves extra
checking code), but I would like case sensitity.
The code I haev so far, which doesn't seem to work is;

$exp = '/^\b[a-zA-Z] [a-zA-Z]$/';

Help would be greatly appreciated

A reminder... sometimes First and Last name can contain three words.
There are portuguese names, like Inês de Medeiros. Watch out for that
too.

Or even four - like Rafael van der Vaart for example - so make sure that the
surname box matches spaces as well, and special characters like the ê, as
well as ' as in John O'Kane
Yeah, that's why strpos will make his life much easier :)

Can you explain how you'd use strpos() in this situation? I was going to ask
earlier, but didn't bother, but now I'm curious...

How does that match Firstname Lastname better than a regex? That will
return true as long as there is at least one space, no matter what the
rest of the submission is. I could submit $^#^$# )([EMAIL PROTECTED],
or I
could submit just a single space, and that would return true. strpos()

There is a large number of sittuations that the regex won't work in.
Special characters aren't included (from what I can understand using my
weak regex knowlege), you could even be chinese, and it wouldn't work.
If you use strpos with trim and strlen cleverlly, you won't have to
worry about it again.

You can trim whitespace and check the length until the cows come home,
and that still won't stop a string such as #T* [EMAIL PROTECTED]. A regex
can
cover practicaly every situation for a name submission; it all depends
on how deep you want to validate. strpos() has too narrow of a scope to
match a complex pattern.

You can have four words to describe a first and last name... you can
have other alphabets, like arabian, chinese, etc... inserting accented
characters alone would make that a big, nasty regex, let alone
predicting ways you can describe first/last names.
I'm not saying that I have the _BEST_ sollution. All I'm saying is that
there are sittuations that are out of your control, and it seems to me
this might be the easiest way out, guaranteeing that there are at least
two words.
If you find a way to fit accented characters / other alphabets there
nicelly, be my guest :)
Take care.

Hello, all -
I've been looking around for a function that would tell me if a $value
in a $key=$value array was empty, and I could not find one. So I
decided to make my own. Even if I am re-inventing the wheel, I thought
that the practice might be good for me.
However, my function doesn't *quite* work, and I'm having a difficult
time finding out why. The code is as follows:
function findMissingVals($workingArray) {
$newcount = count($workingArray);
for ($i = 0; $i = $newcount; $i++) {
if (empty($workingArray['$i'])) {
return 1;
}
}
}
So it takes in $workingArray as an array, runs a loop, checks $i, yada
yada. The thing is, that sometimes the function does not return 1, even
when it should.
I was hoping some experienced eyes could take a gander at this and give
me some pointers.
Thanks!

8-
function findMissingVals( $workingArray ) {
$arrayMissingVals = Array();
foreach( $arrayMissingVals as $key = $value ) {
if( is_array( $value ) ) {
array_merge( $arrayMissingVals, findMissingVals(
$value ) );
}
else if( empty( $value ) ) {
array_push( $arrayMissingVals, $workingArray[$key] );
}
}
return( $arrayMissingVals );
}
8-
Recursive function that will check arrays and return references to the
empty keys. Then, you can do whatever you like.
If you need something simpler, do
8-
if( in_array( $workingArray, null ) ) {
// Do something
}

Same goes for 0, '', etc.

I had to make a few assumptions (like HTML is formatted correctly),
but, other than that, it worked just fine.
I'll post the code on monday.
Thanks for all your help guys. You've been GEAT (you know... like
Tony says ;) )

Consider...
Making a preg pattern to capture everything between tags and then use
preg_replace_callback() process the captured text with the called
function.
It will work; but it's a bit tricky.
Here is a similiar code snip to get you started...
$pattern= %[\w-/]+%;
$text=
preg_replace_callback($pattern,
create_function('$matches', 'return strtolower($matches[0]);'), $text);
This converts all tags to lowercase.
You probably should use a regular callback function rather than creating
one.
Here is a pattern that will get you close
$pattern= %([\s\S]+?)([\s\S]+?)(/[\s\S]+?)%;
The first bracket will get your first tag; second bracket, your text; third,
the end tag.
Try this...
$num= preg_match_all($pattern, $your_string, $matches);
print_r($matches);
I didn't test this; but, you should see all your tags and text neatly in an
array.
You can then use foreach($matches[x] $key=$value) {
your code to trim, etc.
$new_array[$key}= $new_string;
}
From the print_r() you can see what x should be. And, you'll need to
reassemble your $new_array.
Finally, reconstruct your output string with another foreach()
The preg_replace_callback() will do all the foreach() stuff in one line.
Your argument for the
callback function will be x.

Re: [PHP] Question about apache-php concurrent process control
I did something like that for a newsletter sending script. Basiclly, I
had two scripts:
a) AddEdit.php that would list the newsletter's items and allow it to send
b) Send.php that was a script I ran on the background
When pressed Send on AddEdit, it would do something like
$tempName = tempnam( '/tmp', 'newsletter' );
$fp = fopen( $tempName, 'w+' );
fputs( $fp, #!/bin/sh\n/path/to/script/Send.php 12 \n );
fclose( $fp );
chmod( $tempName, 0755 );
system( $tempName . ' ' );
That way, it would launch the second script into the background,
checking if the script altered the newsletter's state for Sent
everytime a user saw the newsletter's details.
Hope it helped.

Hi Liang,

Although personally I think that telnet-to-port-80 would be a better
idea, in this case when you're trying to check what is outputted
first. Either that or a TCP sniffer.
I also agree with the microtime() suggestion, mentioned below. It will
get you around the problem of caches - which is a major problem for
something like this. I'm not sure what the situation with apache is
regarding caches.
PHP's own function to query the web server and do your own timing with
microtime() function or another suitable for your purposes.
In order for flush() results to reach you (in a browser) they have to pass
from multiple caches like PHP's, Apache's, the occasional proxies and
finally
the browser's own cache. So you cannot get dependaple results measuring
times
or responses from your browser. Try the methods above.
And a final tip... When Rasmus speaks, you don't question him:-) Period.
Unless you didn't understand what he said and want clarification.

Hi Rasmus,
You are right. It was the problem with the browser. I used Mozilla Firefox
to try, and do not know what consideration it just serialized the
identical
url http requests. I then turned to use 2 IE 6.0 windows, 2 tabs within
Maxthon browser, one IE windows and one Firefox, to test. Then I got the
conclusion as you told. Thank you very much for the help.
BTW, I could not get the flush() work, neither flush() with ob_flush(). I
tried almost all methods mentioned in the followed posts under
http://us2.php.net/flush, but none of them can really pushed the buffer
out. The site is configurated with http://liang.ns2user.info/php/info.php
on Red head, kernel 2.4.29. What can I do to get it work?
Thank you again.
Liang ZHONG wrote:
Could you please explain it a little bit more?
I did test this way.
The code is the same for a.php and b.php
?php
sleep(20);
print Done. br /;
?
I place request from 2 browser windows.
First time, I placed with http://baseURL/a.php with both 2 browsers,
starting times have 5 second interval. Then the first Done shows
after 20 seconds and the second Done shows 20 seconds after the
first
Done.
Then, I placed one browser with http://baseURL/a.php and the second
one
with http://baseURL/b.php, with starting time of 5 second interval.
Then I got the first browser showing Done after 20 seconds and 5
seconds later, the second browser showed Done, too.
Thus it seems that the apache can spoon out multiple php interpreters
responding to http requests, while php can not deal with concurrent
process from one program.
I have no idea what you did to configure it this way. I wouldn't even
know how to do that if you asked me to. As far as PHP is concerned it
has no idea which processes are handling which script files at any one
point. So whether you request a.php and b.php at the same time or a.php
twice at the same time, it makes absolutely no difference to PHP. If
you are really seeing this, then the limitation is in your browser or
somewhere else. Try making a.php output stuff so it becomes easier to
see. As in for($i=0;$i20;$i++) { echo $i; flush(); sleep(1); }
You should see the counter start counting as soon as you hit the page.

The problem as I see it, is that while it's easy to trim some text and then check to see if you were inside an HTML tag or not, it becomes MUCH harder to check if you were inside nested tags (for example strongem) If there are no nested tags then it's much easier.. just trim the string at X characters and then search for the last occurrence of a '' and the last occurance of '' - if the first is LESS than the second value, then you're in the middle of a tag.

There is no way for you to check the file's size before it gets fully
uploaded. This happens because Apache only checks the filesize when it's
on the server's temporary files. The client doesn't send any info about
the file except it's name and it's contents.
Even if you want to turn to javascript, I don't think there's a way to
do what you want to do. File input fields can only be read from my
experience, and through javascript there isn't any way to access a
file's properties through the client-side unless you have some sort of
ActiveX control or somesuch.
The only thing I saw that would do that was a Java applet :)

XML is quite easy. Let's say you're making a search for books, and you have site1.com searching site2.com for some stuff. site2.com could have some sort of back end like http://site2.com/_backend/search.php?keywords=a+book That would search it's database for the keywords a book. It could generate XML like: searchResults searchResult id1/id bookTitleA Children's Book/bookTitle /searchResult searchResult id2/id bookTitleA Book about Everything!/bookTitle /searchResult /searchResults To do this request, PHP has the fopen command, that will allow you to read from URLs too (see http://pt.php.net/fopen).
