Re: [PHP] appending to XML file before closing tag
rantmode Hey - if you read my post a little more carefully you would see that I was bemoaning the effective passing of *SGML*. I was on a nostaligia trip. I am well aware that SGML is a bit of a complicated beheamoth, but it you have a decent SGML parser ( such as Omnimark or SP) you could do some really funky things. XML is a very cut down version of SGML that requires much simpler tools to process, but every now and again that simplicity will come back to bite you and make your life more difficult. This was one case of that. Most of the time I am quite happy to put up with the verbosity. /rantmode At 23:24 26/06/2002, Erik Price wrote: On Tuesday, June 25, 2002, at 08:42 PM, Brian White wrote: I was actually thinking about this the other day - every now and again I find my self yearning for SGML, where you could have just declared the wrapping element end tag omissable, and then you would never have to worry about it - basically the end of the file would imply the existence of the end tag (sigh ) Yes, but that makes parsing very difficult -- if you're expecting to find a closing tag, it should be there. You'd have to write a special set of XML-handling functions or a special library to cover this unique breach of the XML rules, since most XML modules (for Perl, PHP, Python, Java, whatever) expect well-formed documents. XML is pretty verbose, yes, but the rewards of this are consistency -- as long as the document is well-formed, it should be pretty easy to extract the data from it without writing special code to handle these kinds of exceptions.

[PHP] Apache Request Ids?
I am pretty sure I am dreaming here but I once wrote a locking tool for UNIX that kept as part of it's information the process ID. If another process went to grab the lock, one thing it would do was check if the process that had taken it was still running. If it wasn't, it knew it could safely take the lock. This of course won't work under PHP in it's module form because the process ID belongs to Apache. What I was wondering was there any kind of ID that was attached to a particular CGI request that I could access and use?

[PHP] Why I wish PHP had Python's exception handling....
I am just doing something at the moment in PHP, which is naturally
suited to managing via a try,catch kind of structure which just isn't
in PHP and means I am having to be very, very careful. I just
thought I might use it to put the case for some exceptions.
Basically, I have a whole bunch of tasks to run, called say Task1,
Task2 etc. So in an ideal world, they could run as
RunTask1();
RunTask2();
RunTask3();
...
However, I can't let multiple instances try and run these tasks in tandem,
so I put a lock in place:
GrabLock();
RunTask1();
RunTask2();
RunTask3();
...
ReleaseLock();
The nasty thing then comes in that if any task fails, I have to stop. So I
create a convention that every task returns 1 for success, 0 for
failure. Tasks can also be nested. So this gives me a structure like
this:
if ( ! GrabLock() )
return 0;
$retval = 0;
switch(0){ default:
if ( ! RunTask1() )
break;
if ( ! RunTask2() )
break;
if ( ! RunTask3() )
break;
$retval = 1;
}
ReleaseLock();
return $retval;
This works, but it is cumbersome, you have to be VERY careful and there are
other complications in terms of reporting sensible error messages when
tasks are shared.
In Python, the code would be written like this:
try:
GrabLock();
try:
RunTask1();
RunTask2();
RunTask3();
...
finally:
ReleaseLock(); # If GrabLock runs without raising any
# exceptions this will ALWAYS run
except:
# Gracefully handle any exceptions from GrabLock, RunTask1 etc...
which is an awful lot neater, and a lot safer, and can handle error
messages much more cleanly.
Anyway - this is just an example of why I think exceptions would be a really
cool thing to add to PHP.

This is probably no less messy, but it does allow you to handle an
arbitrary number of steps, possibly with arguments, without having to
add another if check as you're doing above. This also lets you know
easilly which step failed:
?
function first($a) { if ($a) return true; else return false; }
function second($a) { if ($a) return true; else return false; }
function third($a) { if ($a) return true; else return false; }
function GrabLock() { echo Grabbing.\n; return true; }
function ReleaseLock() { echo Releasing.\n; return true; }
$ret = true;
$funcs = Array('first','second','third');
$args = Array(1,1,1); // Change one to zero to trigger a failure
if (!GrabLock())
return 0;
while ($ret = $funcs[0]($args[0]))
{
array_shift($funcs);
array_shift($args);
if (!count($funcs)) break;
}
ReleaseLock();
if (count($funcs)) echo Failed at $funcs[0].\n;
?

As far as I know this is something you have to program in yourself. If you are only worried about your programs accessing the file, then it is a good idea to create a lock file. Before you access a file called mydata, check for a file called mydata.lock. If that exists, then the file is in use, so wait and check later. If it does not exist, create a file called mydata.lock, open mydata, do with it as you please, close mydata, and delete mydata.lock.

Re: [PHP] array_multisort
Ok. As far as I can tell from your example - you have a single
multidimensional array. From my reading of array_multisort
it looks like it is supposed to sort multiple arrays that happen
to be the same length, which is a little different.
Conceptually, what I think you have is an array of records which
you want to sort by one of the elements in the record. What I think
you want is uasort, with something like:
function compare( $left, $right )
{
return ( $left[keycount] - $right[keycount] );
}
uasort( $result, compare );

Ok. The problem is in the following snippet of code. ( Note : this exmaple

situation involving a function call from a class method... )
?php
$data = array( A = AA , B = BB, C= CC, D= DD, E
= EE );
print pre\n;
foreach ( $data as $key1=$val1 )
{
//foreach ( $data as $key2=$val2 )
foreach ( array_keys($data) as $key2 ) // = PROBLEM IS HERE
{
if ( $key1 == $key2 )
print b$key2/b;
else
print $key2;
print ;
}
print \n;
}
print /pre;
?
I beleive it should generate
pre
bA/b B C D E
A bB/b C D E
A B bC/b D E
A B C bD/b E
A B C D bE/b
/pre
Instead it generates
pre
bA/b B C D E
/pre
If I replace the problem line
foreach ( array_keys($data) as $key2 )
with the alternate
foreach ( $data as $key2=$val2 )
then it works fine.
I am using PHP 4.0.4pl1.

Hai Brain,
I don't _think_ this is a bug (note: think). I haven't taken a very
good look at your code, but as I understand you believe that:
foreach ($data as $key)
delivers the same $key as in:
foreach ($data as $key=$value)
Well... it doesn't. Check the manual on it. If you use the
foreach ($x as $y) construction, $y is the value... not the key.
Take a look at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php
Quote from PHP manual
foreach(array_expression as $value)
foreach(array_expression as $key = $value)
/Quote from PHP manual
I think this solves your problem...

[PHP] I beleive I have found a bug.....
... I just thought I would see if anyone else can reproduce it!
Ok. The problem is in the following snippet of code. ( Note : this exmaple
is extremely contrived, and is the essence of a much more complicated
situation involving a function call from a class method... )
?php
$data = array( A = AA , B = BB, C= CC, D= DD, E
= EE );
print pre\n;
foreach ( $data as $key1=$val1 )
{
//foreach ( $data as $key2=$val2 )
foreach ( array_keys($data) as $key2 ) // = PROBLEM IS HERE
{
if ( $key1 == $key2 )
print b$key2/b;
else
print $key2;
print ;
}
print \n;
}
print /pre;
?
I beleive it should generate
pre
bA/b B C D E
A bB/b C D E
A B bC/b D E
A B C bD/b E
A B C D bE/b
/pre
Instead it generates
pre
bA/b B C D E
/pre
If I replace the problem line
foreach ( array_keys($data) as $key2 )
with the alternate
foreach ( $data as $key2=$val2 )
then it works fine.
I am using PHP 4.0.4pl1.

[PHP] Unable to use fopen to read a URL - DNS Problem?
This is a repost. To summarise: My installtion of PHP is unable to resolve names. I can't use fopen to open a URL which uses a name, but if I manually calculate the IP address, I can read in the page OK. ( see example below ). I need some tips on where to start looking to solve this problem. If it helps, my config options when I built PHP were: --with-gd=/usr/local/src/gd-1.8.4/ --enable-gd-imgstrttf --with-ttf=/usr/local/freetype/ --enable-calendar --disable-short-tags --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/src/jpeg-6b/ --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs and I am running PHP 4.0.4pl1 under Debian Potato Linux and Apache 1.3 Regs Brian White At 16:28 14/08/2001 +1000, Brian White wrote: The following code: $url = http://www.php.net/;; print ( implode( , file( $url ) )); causes my browser to sit and twiddle it's thumbs for ages and then produce: Warning: file(http://www.php.net/;) - Bad file descriptor in myfile.php on line 33 Warning: Bad arguments to implode() in myfile.php on line 33 If, however, I explictly use the IP address: $url = http://208.247.106.187/;; print ( implode( , file( $url ) )); it will successfully dump a copy of the php front page.

Re: [PHP] Newbie Help (CLASS WAR!)
I use classes a lot and don't have this problem. This is because
the names of the class ( and thus the constructor name ) tends to be a noun
and otherfunctions tend to be verbs, so I am don't have this kind of clash.
I am VERY glad that PHP has classes and I use them alot.
However
rant_mode
My biggest bug-bear with classes in PHP is the lack of a super operator
There are times when I would really like to be able to do:
class A
{
function DoStuff()
{
.
}
}
class B extends A
{
function DoStuff()
{
.
$super-DoStuff(); // Calls the function in A
}
}
A super operator could allow a fixed name constructor ( like the
__new__ in Python )
and the parent constructor could be called using super, which would
eliminate
Matthew's problem.

I was reading through the PHP manual and got to the section on constructors.

// This will call B() as a constructor.
$b = new B;
In PHP 3, the function B() in class A will suddenly become a constructor in
class B, although it was never intended to be. The rule in PHP 3 is: 'A
constructor is a function of the same name as the class.'. PHP 3 does not
care if the function is being defined in class B, or if it has been
inherited.
This is fixed in PHP 4 by modifying the rule to: 'A constructor is a
function of the same name as the class it is being defined in.'. Thus in PHP
4, the class B would have no constructor function of its own and the
constructor of the base class would have been called, printing 'I am the
constructor of A.br'.
/snip
It says that when a new class B was made, that the class B would have no
constructor, because the function B() was in the base class. Instead the
class B was supposed to derive it's constructor from class A and output 'I
am the constructor of A.br'
When I tried this script, this did not happen and the Function B() was
called as the constructor of class B, even though the function was in the
base class...can anyone help to clear up this matter?

Re: [PHP] parser outside of web tree. whats the trick?
What this sounds like to me is that as well as having a PHP binary, that PHP is installed as a module in your web server. For whatever reason ( more than likely, the file extension ) the web server is NOT executing it as a CGI itself, but passing it to the PHP module to deal with. That is just treating the #! line as text and passing it out to the browser. You need to figure out what is going on and pick one way to do it. Brian At 22:41 25/07/2001 -0400, Darren Henderson wrote: If I have php installed as an executable outside the web tree I can't seem to get php scripts, called as a cgi, to work correctly. When run from the command line this script - #!/usr/local/bin/php ?php echo hello world\n; ? - Produces - X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.4pl1 Content-type: text/html hello world - Just as expected. However, when called from a browser it ends up getting - #!/usr/local/bin/php hello world - when we view the source with a browser. If we telnet to port 80 and do a get for the url in question we find that the above is all that we get, no headers of any kind. If we add a -q the #! line we get the behavior we expect from the command line, the headers are supresed, but the browser ends up getting No input file specified. sans headers or any html tags. Why am I seeing this behavior? I would expect the script the produce the exact same output whether it is called via the command line or as a cgi outside the web tree. I had thought that perhaps it was a system dependent bug, however, I am seeing this same behavior on several machines, AIX 4.2 running 4.06, FreeBSD 4.3 running 4.0.4.pl1, and I've found similar reports in the bug db for HP/UX etc. So... this leads me to believe I must be missing something somewhere anyone have any thoughts? How do I supress the printing of the #! line? It has to be in col 1 row 1, if it wasn't for that I could manually enter the headers at least and continue on my way, Where did the headers go? if I use the -q option to purposely turn off headers, I could provide my own, but if I have that option it tells me that there is no input file specified if its not invoked from the command line. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Brian White Step Two Designs Pty Ltd - SGML, XML HTML Consultancy Phone: +612-93197901 Web: http://www.steptwo.com.au/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Query String Name ?
In PHP, if you set the input fields to be array names then all the results get put in an array: So: test.php?name[]=joename[]=bob would create an array(joe, bob ) in PHP.

Re: [PHP] Opening another page in code (PROPOSED FAQ)
I have seen this question alot recently. Maybe it is time for an FAQ. Maybe
somebody
else would like to have an attempt at wording this better:
Q: (7.15?) I want to use the header function to do something like a
redirect, but I keep
getting messages about the headers having already been sent.
A: The headers are sent to the browser just before the first piece of content
is sent. Content is
a) Any text generated by a PHP output function ( such as print or
echo )
b) Any text before, after or between the ?php ... ? blocks.
The usual reason to get this error message, when you would swear blind
you
aren't outputting anything yet, is white space before outside of the code
blocks. Eg:
?php require(user_logging.inc) ?
?php header (Content-Type: audio/x-pn-realaudio); ?
// Broken, Note the blank lines above will be treated as
// content and cause the headers to be sent
If you changed the above code to
?php
require(user_logging.inc);
header (Content-Type: audio/x-pn-realaudio);
?
and still got the error, then that probably means extra white-space
somewhere in user_logging.inc

Re: [PHP] Strong typing?
U... you could write a fuction like
function CheckInputAgainstRE( $val, $re )
{
if ( ! ereg( $re, $val ) )
{
( ... some kind of code that writes out an error message and dies
... )
}
return $val;
}
and then a series of functions like
function CheckInt( $val )
{
return (integer)CheckInputAgainstRE( $val, ^-?[0-9]+$ );
}
which you could then use as your input protection
Would that help?

PHP is a great language. It makes it fast and easy to create web
pages. However, one feature which is critical for doing rock-solid
stable websites is strong typing. The reason for this is that you're
dealing with untrusted user input. Strong typing helps because if you
are expecting an INT, and the user gave you something else, and you
made a mistake in your input checking, the program will fail when you
attempt to assign the value to the strongly-type INT variable. This
is a good thing when you are dealing with money, or other contexts
where you need very solid code.
First, is there a plan to introduce a strong typing option, like
perl's strict mode?
Second, is there a way to get something equivalent to strong typing
using the class system?
Thanks

Re: [PHP] The need for strong typing...

Re: [PHP] .htaccess php_value
I am still learning about .htaccess files - what you suggested could be useful to me. The approach I have taken is to use the auto_prepend feature, namely php_value auto_prepend_file /path/to/autoprepend.php This is then a single hook, and the contents of autoprepend.php can then be as complex as you like.

Re: [PHP] Need help with timestamp....
As I understand it,
* strftime takes a format string and an integer timestamp and returns a
date string
* date takes a different type of format string and an integer timestamp
and returns a date string
In both cases they default to using the timestamp for the current time.
SO: what you code is doing is
1) Calculating a date string using date based on the current time
2) Passing that string to strfttime at a point where it is expecting an integer
timestamp, and that is being interpreted as 0 or -1 ( not sure which )
Maybe just:
define('SUB_BAR_TITLE', strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG));

You didn't quite get what I meant - in login.php, you have two lumps
of PHP code ( lump being ?PHP ... ? ) separated by a little bit of white
space. That little bit of white-space BETWEEN the lumps is what is causing
your problems.
Reduce it down to one lump and try again.

?PHP
session_start();
// ? ... ?PHP removed from here
// Connect to the database
$db = mysql_connect(localhost, user, pass);
if( !$db )die (Couldnt connect to server, try again soon. );
( ... remainder of login.php ...)

RE: [PHP] Security of PHP code
Possibilities for improving security on a sourec displayer.
1) Maybe you could restrict your source shower to only look at
particular types of files - maybe the file has to end in .php
or .inc before it is even considered.
2) Given that something that displays the source needs to read the file,
maybe it could just look for some kind of marker that would
have to appear within the first N lines of a file, otherwise it
would be rejected. For example, every file that could be displayed
might need to look like this:
?php
//DISPLAYABLE

Personally, I kind of like:
switch(1){ default: // BREAK BLOCK START

break;
} // BREAK BLOCK END
It's a little more cumbersome than the while construct, but it is absolutely
guaranteed to only go through once, whilst the while version you HAVE to
rememeber to put in the closing break, otherwise you risk an infinite
loop.

[PHP] PHP4 directives in httpd.conf not working
I have php4 running under Apache. Under that apache I have several VirtualHosts. I want to set to some of the PHP.INI values under one of those hosts. So far I have tried the following values in my httpd.conf file: 1) include_path "/my/phpinc/path" 2) php_include_path "/my/phpinc/path" 3) php3_include_path "/my/phpinc/path" 4) php4_include_path "/my/phpinc/path" None of them have worked - I can't even restart Apache with them in place. "/my/phpinc/path" definitely exists. What am I doing wrong?

[PHP] Why Arrays in Forms? ( Was Accessing variables from a form )
Why do you have to specify multi-value fields in HTML forms specifically as PHP arrays?

In both cases, the answer will have to be some kind of server side utility
that can dynamically feed up translated images. Chris' very nice "image from

I remember somebody once saying about VMS that it wasn't that easy to string commands together and munge them in the way you could with Unix, but most of the time it didn't matter - if you dug about in the manuals a bit you were eventually going to find something that did what you wanted. I remember making the comparison when I saw the "hebrev" function (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.hebrev.php) which will "convert logical Hebrew text to visual text". What other language, other than PHP ( or something done specifically for use in Talmudic Studies ) would have as part of it's base code set a function for processing hebrew text? The thing is that PHP is designed to run as a Web Server module which , in programming terms, is a bit of a desert island - you have to be as self sufficient a you can because it isn't easy to duck down to the corner store to get a sorting algorithm. So it makes sense to have as much useful functionality on hand as possible. So the moral of this long ramble is: if you need to do something like stripping out or adding slashes it is well worth your while having a dig through the manual - you may well find the function you need. ----- Brian White Step Two Designs Pty Ltd - SGML, XML HTML Consultancy Phone: +612-93197901 Web: http://www.steptwo.com.au/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The question is: when do you resolves something like this?
Is it at "compile time" or at "function call" time. That could
get really nasty if the functions had internal counters etc.

Re: [PHP] Outputting a 2 digit number 10

if ( $i 10 ) { $str_i = "0$str_i"; }
if ($i == $day)

echo("option SELECTED value=\"$str_i\"$str_i/option\n");
}
else
{
echo("option value=\"$str_i\"$str_i/option\n");
}
}
? echo"select name=\"form_date_day\"";
$day = (date ("d"));
$daysinmonth = (date("t"));
for ($i=00;$i$daysinmonth;$i++){
if ($i == $day) {

Re: [PHP] XML Parser is a bit strict
( I am still not used to this mailing list - I keep hiting "Reply" and only sending it to the poster. ) Part of the XML standard is that every element will have start and end tags. HTML actually uses the syntax of SGML, which allows some tags to have their end tags omitted - therefore, on some level you *can't* process HTML as XML because it isn't XML. As far as I understand XHMTL, it simply HTML made XML compliant, which basically means you always have to put in an end tag. BTW - if you have an empty element such as "br" , in XML you have two choices: 1) br/br 2) br/ (shorthand for (1) ) At 05:09 PM 1/18/01 +, you wrote: I am using php 4.02 and Apache 1.3.12 and am trying to do some XML parsing.

Re: [PHP] Re: XML, what is that supposed to do?
I thought I might weigh into this debate in a small way. My background is a little different. I have spent the last five years playing with SGML ( Standard Generalised Markup Language ) which is the ancestor of XML - basically, XML was invented by elements of the SGML community to create a "lighter" form of SGML that could be used in client side apps and didn't require a CRAY to be able to do things quickly. The primary benefit of XML is that you have more control over the markup of your data. This has several aspects 1) You can markup a piece of data to describe what it *actually is* rather just marking it up how you would like it displayed in one particular media - it puts some intelligence in the data and allows you to mark up some of the context that us humans are generally able to infer. This also "future proofs" your data against the "display" formats changing. 2) You can use a DTD (Document Type Definition) to create the compliance part of what I like to call a "data contract" - two or more parties can agree on a data format that suits them. The contract is "if you give me data in this format I can process" it. XML allows you to (a) have a standard way to write these "contracts" (b) provided standard tools to check whether the "contract conditions" have been met 3) If you are creating more than one kind of output, you need to be able to store the original content in such a way that it is easy to create the different kinds of output. What this means is that one of the most currently useful places to use XML a *storage* format. If all you are doing with you data is delivering it in a bland way to Web browsers, then you may as well just use HTML. If you have to deliver two kinds of HTML ( eg: frames/ no frames ) and set of PDF files, then XML is an excellent way to store your data - there are heaps of tools out there than can easily do the transformations. Re Tools: the other posters have done quite a good job of summarising some of the tools and standards. I will only add a couple of things. 1) Calling "DOM" the big brother of "SAX" is not really correct - they are more like cousins. They each have their place and used for different things. If you need to be able to arbitrarily rearrange the elements of an XML "tree" into weird and interesting shapes then go with the "DOM" but don't expect to process anything larger than about 1MB. When speed and size are an issue, you need to use a serial/event driven processor such as Omnimark or a SAX tool. 2) What I understand about XSLT is a) It is a tree based processor so you have all the limitation of the "DOM" b) It is an absolute pig to write code in by hand but other than that it's fine .
