Its a Fatel Error not a warning. Dont see how level off error
reporting could be relevant.

[PHP] Fatal error: Call to a member function web_order_change() on a non-object
Our server has just been upgraded to PHP 5.2.5 and suddenly I am
getting the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function web_order_change() on a
non-object in /var/www/vhosts/cultureshop.org/httpdocs/cart.php on
line 32
The code is:
$SESSION["cart"]->web_order_change( true );
The command 'global $SESSION;' is the first line of the script.
$SESSION is the session variable created with
session_start();
session_register("SESSION");
if ( !isset($SESSION["cart"]) ) {
$SESSION["cart"] = new Cart;
}
I am guessing this is a change in OO handling, any idea what is going
on and how to fix it?

extract seems like the ticket, but as I will also be wanting to run
eatch var through a varable think I will use the foreach approch.

[PHP] Creating a varable with a name held in a string
I have the following code;_
$sql = "select * from text where id= '$id' ";
$row = fetch_row_row( $sql, $db );
$img_loc= $row["img_loc"];
$text_type = $row["text_type"];
$seq= $row["seq"];
$rec_type = $row["rec_type"];
$section= $row["section"];
$code = $row["code"];
$repeat = $row["repeat"];
$description= $row["description"] );
$text = $row["text"] );
Was wondering if there was a clever way of doing this with foreach on
$row. something like
foreach( $row as $index => value ) {
create_var( $index, $value );
}
So the question is is there a function like create_var which takes a
string and a value and creates a variable?

OK, trying to do a function to remove magic quotes from the post
variable. Something like:-
function remove_magic_quotes( &$array ) {
foreach( $array as $index => $value ) {
if ( is_array( $array[$index] ) ) {
remove_magic_quotes( $array[$index] );
} else {
if ( magic_quotes_runtime() ){
$array[$index] = stripslashes( $value );
}
}
}
But not quite there. Any ideas?

Yes, it seems like they were invented by the Powers of Darkness ;). I think I am going to put stuff in my common code that is run on at the beginning of every page to remove magic quotes from $_REQUEST, and run all data being put into the database through addslashes first. I can see it is only any to trivial pages where you are taking user input and putting it stright into the database with out validation or re-displaying it. There for it is useless.

[PHP] Magic Quotes
Am I correct in thinking Magic Quotes automatically adds quotes to all posted variables, therefore if you are displaying post variables on a form you have to remove the quotes. They are only needed if you are actually inserting/updating into the database. Whether magic quotes are on or not you do not actually have to do anything to data fetched from the database. If magic quoted are not on you have to add slashes before you add to the database. There is also another function you need pass stuff through if you are going to use it in an , what is that function?

All I woul post them would be 'retrun $radio_htlm' I will post the
end of the method:
if ( $columns == 0 ) {
$radio_html .= $this->manditoryStar( $manditory );
} else {
if ( $manditory ) {
$radio_html .=
"" .
"* You must select at least one option" .
"";
}
$radio_html .= "";
}
$radio_html .= "\n\n\n\n";
// really nagst hack as rtturn not working
echo $radio_html;
return $radio_html;
++$index;
}
This works becouse I echo the varable, but not ideal. The method call
is echo $object->method(...). If the return was working I would get
the code returned twice, but I only get it returned once. without the
'nasty hack' I get nothing;(.

thanks, I was using
$days_in_month = cal_days_in_month( CAL_GREGORIAN, $month, $year );
Is the first parameter optionel. If it is I guess PHP must have
overloaded internal functions.

[PHP] mysql_pconnect / persistent database conections
Been meaning to investigate persistent database connections for a while. Coming from a rdbms background (oracle with a bit of whatcom sqlanywhare) I have always felt that the overhead of opening a connection at the beginning of each page was a little resource intensive. Anyway, I found mysql_pconnect and this sounds like just the ticket. Seems that I can just change my connect method from mysql_connect to mysql_pconnect and it will just work. I do have a couple of questions. Firstly what is the story with mysql_close. There is no mysql_pclose. I guess you don't need to close the connection at the end of each page but what if you do. Is mysql_close ignored if the connection was made with mysql_pconnect or douse it close the connection and next time mysql_pconnect is run it reconnects causing no benefit over mysql_pconnect. also what is the timeout likely to be?

So this is this only done to stuff that is to be displayed on a web
page? What happens if it is done to stuff that is (possibly) also
passed through addslashes and written to the database. Also douse it
matter what order htmlspecialcharacters/addslashes???
However this is the least of my problems, I still dont have the main
magic quotes thing working. So I will detail what I am doing and c if
anyone can help.
Everything that comes from the database (regardless of what is done to
it next) is passed through the following function.
function unprep( $text ) {
// Take data coming from the database an get it ready to be presented
// to the user.
if ( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ){
$result = stripslashes($text);
} else{
$result = $text;
}
$result = htmlspecialchars( $result );
return $result;
}
This is done regardless of what is to be done to the data by using
foreach on the row that is returned.
foreach( $this->record as $index => $value ) {
$this->record[$index] = unprep( $value );
}
And before anything is written to the database it goes through the
following function.
function prep( &$text ) {
if ( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) {
return $text;
} else {
return addslashes($text);
}
}
But I am still getting the \', \\' thing happening. One of my
problems is I am not sure at how to reliably look at the data at
various stages. If I do echo $value and it has \' in it is '\
displayed or or is ' displayed. I.e. is it only in the if the value in the text box was something like:

Re: [PHP] Magic quotes question
OK. This is really confusing me.
I am using the following function to handle this:
function prep( &$text ) {
echo get_magic_quotes_gpc()." ";
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
echo "mq on for $text";
return $text;
} else {
echo "mq off";
return addslashes($text);
}
}
And it is not doing the assslashes but stuff like \'s is still being
added. wonce savein a few times I get \'.

And no, I dont have to split the date up, the date() function should be able to be used to validate the date. I asume it returns null, or something sensable, if the date is invalid.

In this case it is a back end administration form as the (power) user does not want to have to fiddle about with drop downs. In fact they can use / or - or . as a seperater.

As I have said in a previous email to date function takes a format string and the strtodate douse not. Therefore the strtodate() only works on a small subset of what date() can produce. The format I am interested in is DD-MM- which is the way dates are specified in the UK, strtodate() cant handle this. strtodate is not the reverse of date.

[PHP] String to Date and Date to String Functions?
Being trying to work out haw to handle dates. Basically I need a function to convert a Date to a String and another function to convert a string to a date. Exactly what format the date is held in is not relevant as long as it is some type of standard (i.e. Unix Timestamps). Both the functions will require a format string (such ad DD/MM/YYY) and again the format/syntax of this is irrelevant, as long as they are the same for both . String to Date Function return date stringToDate( str Date, str Format ) e.g. $todayDt = stringToDate( '01/01/2003','DD/MM/' ); Date to String Function return str dateToString( date Date, str Format ) e.g. $todayStr = dateToString ( $todayDt,'DD/MM/' ); Anyone know of any functions that do this or have pointers as to how it can be done.

[PHP] Loading all clases always
I have all my classes in a single directory. I was thinking of automatically loading them all at the beginning of every page.

Also at any given time they will all probably be needed by one of the visitors.

[PHP] oo arcitecture (Re: [PHP] Extending a Class)
Your email prompted me to think about architecture. What I have is;_
a database class which is the only class with direct access to the database.
a table class, which is passed the database class on instantiation.
a presenter class which is passed the table class during instantiation.
This means that if you want to render html you use and instance of the
presenter class but you can also call methods on the database object
directly to, for example, update the database. You will probably want
a valuator class to validate user input. If you have and extended
data dictionary (i.e. validation rules in the database) you would have
a extended data dictionary class you pass to the valuator (which
itself would have the database passed to in on instantiation).
What I cant quite work out is what to do about html related methods
that do not relate to a database table (i.e.rendering table
top/middle/bottom). Maybe you want a html class which is a composite
of the presenter class or can be accessed directly for non-table
related presentation?

Nice idea, shame about the site. I would expect a patterns site to
have a place with a list of the standard patterns, what they are for
and implementation in the target language. This site douse not (or it
douse I cant find it). Anyone know of one that douse.

[PHP] quoting values in HTML - is there a diference between ' and "
I always thought quoting values in HTML had to be dome with double
quotes ("). however on reeding some stuff in the PHP manual the
examples use single quoted. Single quotes are allot more convenient
as I use double quotes generally for quoting strings. So are the two
totally synonymous in HTML?

Re: [PHP] Search engine
Looks like you will have to write your own. Have a look at the scripts you have and see how they do it. One option is to write the 'static' pages into the database as well as the file system.

Re: [PHP] Search engine
This kind of depends on what database you are using (I am asuming you mean you have a data driven site you want to search so strictly speaking it is the database that you want to search). Mysl has free text search facilities (i.e. you can pass it a number of words and it can search for them in a set of database fields and even kreates a 'ranking'). however this only works if you have a few hundread records - less than this and the results are unpredictable. Have you tries googeling for php search scripts?

Almost follow this but not quite. Is this the code used to create the
hidden HTML input tag or the one to unpack the variable after the
post. What is really spooky is the keys are actually held in a
variable in an object called keys - your telepathic abilities are very
impressive;). My first thought was when you said PHP only handles one
level in post was to serialize the array, put the serialized version
in as a single hidden HTML tag and unserialize at the other end. do
you reckon this is a goer?

Leicter, the point I was making was that there was at least one IDE with a debugger - you said there was not, you did not stipulate free. Anyway not having a go, just clearing up miscommunication. Thanks for the work you put into phpeclipse. from what I have seen so far it rocks. BTW is there anyway of getting line numbers down the left hand she of the source file. Having to run the cursor up/down and look at the current line namer is a bit fiddly. Marco, I'me not actually using a debugger yet but was going to give DBG a go. what are the relative merits of DBG/Xdebug (licence/ease of installation/functionality...). Ime using Linux (Ubuntu/Debian). Anyway it douse not matter if the debugger is a separate module to the IDE as long as it is well integrated.

[PHP] Problem with foreatch()
I have the following Code:
foreatch( $_POST["mtype"] as $akey => $avalue ) {
echo "$akey, $avalue";
}
When I run it I get:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_AS
in /var/www/mb/mb_estab_update.php on line 58
58 is the line with the foreatch on it. However if I replace it with:
print_r( $_POST["mtype"] );
I get:
Array ( [1] => RESTAURANT [2] => BEVERAGEWINE [3] => MAIN )
so the array is populated, what am I doing Wrong?

I have been thinking of doing such thing for a while and have two possible solutions. One is to have a master object and have a variable to set the mode of operation (i.e. Dynamic, Static) You would then abstract all your output (echo etc.) functions. This new echo function would either output in the normal way or to a file handler depending on the $static_dynamic variable. You would then have a master function which crawls your site calling all the pages. The other solution involved using a function which captures all browser i/o into a variable rather than sending it to the screen (cant remember its name). Not as sure how to implement this. Basically if you have not written your CMS using objects it will be a lot harder. One of the reasons I am not generating static snapshots it the CMS I wrote was not originally written without objects. I am slowly rewriting it and when finished I will revisit this issue.

That will work fine for reading from the variable, are you wanting to
write to it and have the changes made available outside of your

function Contacts( &$SESSION, $db )

[PHP] Passing database resource to object (OO)
Wan I insatiate an object I want to pass a database resource that can be

I get the error "mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link
resource". I guess this is because "$this->$db = $db" is wrong.

[PHP] Help me pervade Bristol City council to use PHP
Am talking to a part Bristol City Council in the UK. To persuade them to use PHP I need to find some high profile reference sites. Looked on php.net but all the sites were technical support sites, not really corporate or government sites. This is not very good, the MySQL lot have a very good list of sites at http://www.mysql.com/press/user_stories/index.html and the following quote on there site "The MySQL database has an estimated 4,000,000 active installations worldwide, and up to 27,000 copies of MySQL are downloaded per day. Major corporations such as Yahoo!, Cisco, NASA, Lucent Technologies, Motorola, Google, Silicon Graphics, HP, Xerox and Sony Pictures rely on MySQL for heavy-duty, mission-critical applications." This is exactly the type of thing I need for PHP and am supervised it is not on the PHP site. So.. Can anyone give me some sites who use PHP that the people at Bristol city Council would of heard of (i.e. high profile sites). Also I think this type of thing should be on php.net.

Re: [PHP] Problem with comma in mail form
Sorted it out with
$message = ereg_replace("(\r\n|\n|\r)", "\n", trim( stripslashes(

trim and stripslashes not strictly speaking nessesery. Not 100% sure what
happened here but guess \r\n or \r was causing problems.

I'm still not sure why the message would be truncated, but try replacing
\r\n instead of just \n. Windows uses \r\n, *nix uses \n and I think MAC
uses \r.
What are you using to view the message?

I have forms that have identical functionality, but don't exhibit that
erroneous behavior. I can't tell what you've done to the arguments to
mail() before using them, but the only thing I do is run them through
stripslashes() and trim(). i.e. -
$message = trim( stripslashes( $_POST['message'] ) );
If that's what you do too ... weird! If not, give it a try and see what
happens.
g.luck & cheers!

[PHP] Problem with comma in mail form
I have a fairly simple mail form which gets email, subject and message and
posts to itself.
Your Email Address:
Subject:
Message:
if(isset($message)) { echo $message; }
?>
It then use mail() function to send a email.
mail( $admin_email, $subject, $message, "From: $email" );
Problem is the message gets truncated if there is a comma in the message
after the comma.
Has anyone had this problem, got a solution to it.

Is there a way I can get the whole URL of the current page for error handling/reporting. Also is there a way of getting the previous/referrer URL for a similar purpose.

RE: [PHP] Parse Error Suggestions?
Not sure exactly what your code is but if you try to pass a literal where a
reference type parameter is defined this produces a blank page.
function test( &$var ) { echo $var }
if you call with test( "hello" ) you get NO output.

Have a regular expression which replaces ' with '' (used to insert ' into db):
preg_replace("/\'/", "''", $text );
This works great on the UNIX production machine but not on windows

Before I write a function that loops thought the whole thing looking at

[PHP] PHP is NOTa Bloated Kludge, end of discusion?

Firstly let me say that you lot have been great. Lots of useful stuff and no flame, big Respect! Sorry about reactionary nature of the post. Doing a 9/5 and building PHP sites till 2 in the morning means I drink a lot of coffee during the day. I guess I could blame it PHP's addictive nature ;) (because of its ease of use and power of course). Luckily only on my 2nd cup. Anyway have enough pro-php amo now. Actually had a look at some benchmarks and both mod_php and mod_perl are fast, haven't found any that seem to do proper tests though ( Wish I could get paid for writing apps where all they do is display 'Hello World' 5 thousand times ). Anyone know any good exhaustive ones. >It is just you and some other people similar to you. Thought this >question was up for a while :-) did not know there were many techn-hippy-anarcho-headenist-dyslexic-anti-capitalists left, There's hope for us all ;) >Is it really true? I always though it wasn't. >AFAIN: Long time ago require() was working this way. But now, require() >and include() are the same. Loaded only when needed. No, Been put straight on this one. >Well, it has it's pluses and it's minuses, it is extendable, though OOD >works a little different in it. But hey, it compiles on the fly, >remember? That's a plus for developers, especially newbies. Probably not so bad OOD stuff is handled differently, OO languages do tent to be a bit on the slow side. They also don't really fit with PHP's paradigm. OO stuff is very modular and PHP is not. Weather this is good or bad is one issue but it is certainly true that trying to mix paradigms is always going to be a problem. Also remembering an article by F.Brooks entitles 'There is no Silver Bullet'. Anyone know where there is an on-line version on this. Basically OO is a load of already existing 'good practices' with there own spin and some clever implementation. Kind of a checklist with knobs on it. There is no silver bullet when it comes to Software Engineering, just a load of copper ones.

Re: [PHP] PHP is a Bloated Kludge, discuss!
Exelent, as I said I was playing devels advicate, I like PHP a lot, I am
trying to get someone else to use it to and they came up with this stuff.
> if(condition) include 'file';
Is exactly what I was looking for. As 'if () {}' loaded, or at least
parsed things I did'nt think another form of if would be different ( RFM-;)
). Maybe I should stop developing for a while and have a good wade through
the manual. Its so easy to do stuff in PHP it's easy to get lazy!

That's not true.
if(condition) include 'file';
That will only include the file if the condition is true. Very easy to
verify for yourself. So a bunch of your points related to this are void.

There is both a C-level abstraction layer called dbx and a user-space one
in PEAR. Plus a number of others. So again, this makes your next points
void.

[PHP] PHP is a Bloated Kludge, discuss!
(From behind filing cabinet where I am ducking preparing for flames). Is it just me or is there anyone else that thinks PHP suffers from not being modular. Let me explain myself. If you write a module for a lot of procedural languages it sits on the filling system and is called up when it is needed , loaded into memory and executed. There maybe some cashing which happens but this is basically how it works. PHP on the other hand seems to load in ALL the code that MAY be run. i.e. an include brings things in which are inside an if, even if the if equates to false. This means that the language is not extendible in the way others are. If you do write a function you wish to include in 'only the pages you wish to use' you have to first include it, then call it. This has also meant that things like spell checking functions are built into the core module rather than called in as or when they are needed. Then there is the way database connectivity is handled. There are a load of functions (again in the core language) with there NAMES containing the name of the database you are connecting to. For example all MySQL functions are mysql_something and I guess all oracle ones are oracle_something. This would only be a minor inconvenience because wrapper functions can be written but from what I can gather different databases have different functionality available. I know this is partly because different databases have different functionality. what I would expect to see is a load of generic function which attempt to provide same functionality where it is available or implement some of the functionality themselves. Obviously for some of the less sophisticated databases these functions would have to do more work and maybe some functionality wouldn't be available in certain databases (but only the things like stored procedures). Got a nast feeling that ASP (spit) does something like this. You may cry, it cant be done. however I remember a connectivity product that came from Borland (this was back in the Paradox Days) which did just this, it even had transaction handling built into this connectivity layer for DBase! Anyway I am playing Devils Advocate. What I do like about PHP is how quickly it can be learnt and how quick you can build apps with it. Maybe this is at the expense of elegance. Maybe PHP5 will address these issues -;) And there are certainly some very busy PHP sites, you should see the traffic levels on indymedia.org during anti-capitalist demonstrations and I am sure during the New York attacks they went belistic.

[PHP] Getting my head around nulls.
First recap (been doing RDBMS stuff for over 10 years so reckon this is correct). Nulls and blank are NOT the same in RDBMS (in fact there are actually several types of nulls). MySQL implements this correctly (Unlike Oracle which treats null and blank the same). Up to now I am OK but when it comes to codeing in PHP I am not to sure about best practice. The app I am working on for number datatypes inserts 0 if no data is entered in form. I can see why, I am inserting a blank into the database and MySQL goes (Hang on this is a number fields and as you are not inserting NULL you obviously mean zero). So I guess I need to do some conditional stuff so the blanks are not actually inserted or put null into the PHP variable and insert this (Can PHP vars be null but exist?). Or is their another option? The second half of the issue is getting data from the database. I added a couple of columns to database but then I tried to retrieve them as $row[index]. I got a variable x douse not exist error. This really through me until I realised it was because the value in the database was null and it kind of makes sense not to create the var for nulls (although it makes coding a pig). So again, it seems I need to do a lot of isset() stuff which is going to be a pain. Any other insight. Nulls with varchar/char types are not so much of a problem as long as you don't mind all fields in the database being blank rather than null after you first insert data into them. It would be good to get peoples advice on this. And remember "0 as a number is as important as any other number".

Re: [PHP] PHP versus ZOPE
Zope is very good but badly documented. The other things to consider is hosting, which is relatively expensive as there are not that many people who do it. Also the fact that you will have to learn python (which is not a major issue but is probably a much higher learning code than PHP) is something to consider. I started developing an e-commerce site in Zope but switched to PHP because the lack of documentation was driving me nuts. This is a particular problem because zope is far from a traditional language. Its bad enough trying to get your head round a new paradigm when the documentation is good! The only 'book' on it was the one on the web site and the documentation/articles are rather eclectic. Also the book only really scratches the surface.
