Re: [PHP] Cold Intermediate Programmer trying to modularize website...
I know less about WordPress than I do about Joomla, but I did notice a template site that I cannot find any support for (cool templates) which supports both Joomla and WordPress, as well as HTML/CSS. I know that there are lists of buttons which I was going to rely on PHP to handle. The problem with WordPress and Joomla is that the current webhost will allow PHP, but will not allow MySQL. :) I know... time to move the site to a FREE php/MySQL host. I already have one in mind, but the throughput from the host at a major ISP (Charter) is hard to leave... since the client has been paying for that webhost for over 20 years. A GoDaddy hosted site I might be able to talk her into, in a pinch... but she is a firm believer in the idea that you pay for quality. It might be very hard convincing her to consider another webhost that isn't local, and Charter is a local (non-toll-free) phone call away. Thank you for the suggestion. A WordPress site might actually be the solution... if she is willing to leave Charter. -- Barry Smith c 704-497-4217 e scs.bns...@gmail.com On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 11:22 PM, tamouse mailing lists < tamouse.li...@gmail.com> wrote: > Have you considered setting this up in wordpress? > > >
Re: [PHP] Cold Intermediate Programmer trying to modularize website...
Yes, Jim, and "tamouse", Apologies for the length of this response. I am asking for help organizing the rewrite of the site, from a LOT of HTMLs that have 90% in common, containing a couple of php links to do a php mail form and command, and an article... to a "template-article-footer" format. I am having a problem visualizing how I need to proceed (from the highest level), so I was asking for opinions on how to organize the index.php plus template.php plus home.article design... at the highest level. >From the sounds of it ( I didn't bother to un-zip his file) it appears that > he just wants to create a model template and fill in the center (the > 'article'?) appropriately depending upon the user's request That is basically the project. I have used Joomla for sites like this before, but the business owner is not tech-savvy (not a power-user) in the least. Setting up Joomla for her site, teaching her how to navigate Joomla to modify articles, and giving her the access to the articles that she wants access to is WAY beyond what she is capable of and REALLY overkill for this small website. Besides, she could destroy the whole site as Joomla admin or a Joomla user very easily. She wants access to some of the articles, ONLY to change the wording of some articles (the article on the about page and the home page, and maybe a "specials" page yet to be designed) but I am trying not to giving her the ability to destroy the whole site because she has access to. I want to place .article files in a folder, and let her work on the articles. I can build a default article into the PHP if the document that she edits gets deleted. Yet she's a smart business owner... "if i have access to the articles to change them and I mess up, I don't want the website to disappear" was how she expressed it to me. The other wrinkle (at a programming level) is that she wants a header in every email that the website sends to the company, to track which link was clicked. I'm thinking that (as an example of the changes that I need to make to the files contained in the zip )-- I. index.html would "require" index.php. 1) index.php would define variables for that page, i.e. a var building="index" or "about" or "services" or "products", and then include "template.php", a home.article file, and a footer.php . 2) template.php would use the "building" value to build each custom header and left column and right column. Within the header, it would use the variable "building" to send a label that identifies "building" and another value "header" to "contact.php" (see more about "contact.php" later). Programatically, template.php will highlight tab buttons at the top of the page (if they need to be highlighted) and menu buttons in left column (if they need to be highlighted) dependent on the value of "building", and in column 2 choose the correct list of buttons to display in a vendor list dependent on the value of "building". 3) footer.php would use the "building" value to build each custom footer for the page. Within the footer, it would use the variable "building" to send a label that identifies "building" and another value "footer" to "contact.php" (see more about "contact.php" later). II. contact.php will bring up an email form, use the label passed in to create a custom header to insert into the php mail command/function. III/IV/V/VI. Each HTML in the site will have an associated php that calls template, grabs any appropriate .article file, calls footer. Does that structure make sense? Are there gotchas, things to "verify" and "watch out for" that you have run into doing similar projects? As a past for this design procedure, I worked on a "sales agent" site years ago that did a similar "build each page dependent on logged.in.user" ... but the control for this project is not logged.in.user in this project... the control is page.being.built . Thank you for the input, and any links to online articles that I should probably read, or topics that I should make sure I understand completely in php. Peace, -- Barry Smith c 704-497-4217 e scs.bns...@gmail.com

Dave M G schrieb:
PHP,
Shouldn't this regular expression select everything from the start of
the string to the first space character:
$firstWord = preg_match('#^*(.*) #iU', $word);
It doesn't, so clearly I'm wrong, but here's why I thought it would:
The enclosing has marks, "#", I *think* just encloses the expression. I
was told to use them before, but I can't find them here:
http://jp2.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php
The caret, "^", says to start at the beginning of the line.
The first asterix, "*" after the caret says to use any starting character.
The space just before the second "#" is the closing character of my search.
The "(.*)" in the middle says to take anything in between the beginning
of the line and the space.
"iU" says, "be case insensitive, and don't be greedy".
So, it should start at the beginning of the line and get everything up
to the first space. But it doesn't work.
Where did I go wrong?

The browser don't outputs every whitespace (which is good!).

They ignore mostly every type they dislike.

you bake a cookie OTHERWISE (the default ;-) you drink beer and watch footy -
which
given your german email address is rather apt right now :-P
I believe that is what you grandma example was aiming at
(I used artistic license with the beer and football part :-).
Well not if "any". The have "all" to be true :)
Well i don't want the grandma to be not as old as the table and older
than the house age and still baking a cookie.
Only if all cases stated are true, i want to bake a cookie :)
( Yeah the wm is up and running ;) )
f*** 'short' the time taken to write a line is negligable compared to the
time taken to maintain, reread, change, enhance and/or adapt it.
Surely true but writing short doesn't have to mean to write unreadable
stuff.
IF ($grandma >= $tableage
AND < $houseage
AND== array_sum($grandkids)
)
something like that (theoretically)
try to think in terms of maintainability and readability - and of course
performance (the length of a line of code says very little, if anything,
about it's performance) - jmho.
Yeah it's not a performance issue its more like having to code a lot
less than ATM "with" having the same readability as now.
Just shorter :)

There might be a function already written i think i saw one there giving

Best way to handle would be to go over sockets and catch the

since 200 is OK and 404 would be GONE and so on.

Better is to show some "please wait while copying" or something. Let him know what you do and probably show it like: Starting copying: |:-> OO <:-< 100% Finished Copying. Starting generating XML stuff please wait: And so on. There are some really nasty outputs you can generate while the user has to wait. And you wouldn't have a blank page anymore.

On the text side of things, it's pretty easy, however from the image side of

Doing a "readfile ($file_location)" outputs the binary... can someone point

Greetings All,
I am currently implementing a form for a client that will run over
https. Now, all is good and well except, for some reason when the form
loads in IE the lock in the status bar displays for a short while and
then goes away, it is fine in Firefox though. The way I have the form
coded is something like this:
{ $name =
$_POST['name'];
$street_address = $_POST['street_address'];
$to = 'address';
$subject = "subject";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n".
"Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n".
"From: ".$name."\r\n".
"Reply-to: ".$email."\r\n".
"Date: ".date("r")."\r\n";
// Compose message:
$message = "message";
// Send message
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
// Thank the generous user
echo "Thank You!";
}
else {

Fill in your details

maxlength="150" />
The page in question is here: https://www.epda.cc/donation_eng.php
Is there any reason why coding the form like this will cause IE to think
that the form is not secure and not loaded over https? Thank you in
advance!
Since you load it framewise. is there probably a problem with the loaded
frames?
It has nothing to do with PHP though.

Fair enough. Whereas to me, in any of the curly-brace styles, all I see on a
first look is all those curly braces leaping up and trying to scratch my eyes
with their sharp little pointy bits. Each to his own preference.
Well i'd like to comment that sentence but something in me is telling me
i should not.
We should all just say thank goodness PHP lets us each do it to our own
preference -- I would daily curse the curly brackets if I had to use your
style, and you would long to expand my compact code if you had to use mine.
And at least we can all agree (we can, right?) that almost *any* kind of decent
layout is better than:

Show an example. I don't think you will be able to show one.
But this wasted space gives you a lot more insight into the code when
looking for loops,whiles,functions and such.
A couple of facts of my codding style:
- I tend to always use brakets, so I ignore the fact that single
lines/actions can be written without brackets,
This is "your" coding style.
But if you work in a team, and somone does use that because it actually
is a neater way of programming.
What do you intend to do?
- I try not to let lines grow larger than about 100 cols (cannot
be really done with strings and other thingies, and maybe that
should remain in the old 80 cols, but it's too litle space), and
Never possible if you write web-applications.
CLI might be possible for that but for web it's a no-go.
- I use a 4 space indentation, and that alone suffices for making
a block stand clear enough
It's not just about one block.
I've seen stuff like:
if (blah blah) {
do my code!
} else {
oh my god!
}
Well, without indentation it just looks like a bunch of chars.
if (blah blah)
{
do my code!
}
else
{
oh my god!
}
Even without intendations, you can clearly see that it's an if and an
else here.
The best part here is that you see it when you scroll through your code.
without actually "reading" it.
So, in my case, the code would be something like
function foo( $x ) {
// body...
}
···
$a = foo($b);
Even this is far too blocky to read.
If you have 4000 rows of code and looking for some if or switch (you are
not sure) it would save you a lot of time searching for it though.
And for your problem with viewing. probably try to get a 19" monitor.
They are not that expencive anymore.(The CRT ones)

I have been trying to solve this for two days and am particularly concerned that somewhere along the way the sender email value becomes the script name. Any ideas on this black Friday? Vardumping the array / object which the function gets is allright? Vardumping it inside the function gives you the right entries? -- Smileys rule (cX.x)C --o(^_^o) Dance for me! ^(^_^)o (o^_^)o o(^_^)^ o(^_^o) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

appreciate any help.

file2.php

global $var; //you have to declare it as a global otherwise it will

nonsense. Only for functions and such.
If it's in the same folder why dont you use include ("file2.php"); ?
Otherwise youse pathes like ../subfolder/folder
Only if you really want to load stuff thats not at the web directory use
full pathes like /path/to/folder

Do you think I am going about this in the wrong way? What would you suggest is a better idea??? Chris All the user info? Wouldn't it be enough to have a link on that User?

In what way does PHP not allow development in the style that has unfortunately become known as Web 2.0? Why does it need to change?

As a PHP developer with too many years experience to mention I am curious about specifically why you are of the opinion that it's behind the times. -Stut Right, That's why ppl use PHP more than Perl/CGI for example. It's because PHP is easier to understand and to code (for most ppl).
