Re: [PHP] A little confused
Thanks for the replies guys - figured it out!
Using date() directly with strtotime() and the appropriate formating works
:)
date("D, \\t\h\e jS \o\\f M Y", strtotime($_SESSION['ExpiryTime']))

Re: [PHP] A little confused
Yes, strtotime() does convert the $_SESSION value to a unix epoc, as expected. However, date_format still complains that the argument is a Integer value, instead of a DateTime.

That did it. In my case, I know that the first letter is capitalized, so I

preg_match('/[A-Z][^>]*end/', $curl_response, $matches);

[PHP] help with preg_match
Hello,
I am trying to use preg_match to match something from an html file.
Within the html file is some text that looks like:
Something, something end
I know that the text ends 'end', but I don't know what the Something,
something is. I am using preg_match as follows:
preg_match('/[^>]*end/',$curl_response,$matches);
I want to match 'end' and everything before it that is not '>'.
The problem appears to be with the '>'. I have tried escaping (\>), but
it didn't make a difference. The php script hangs when it tries to run
this function.

user selection portion:

echo ''
. $storerow['store_subject'] . ' at ' . date('m-d-Y h:i:s A',
strtotime($storerow['real_time_date']));
produces url string:
http://westeng/forum/store.php?id=Wiser Communication, LLC -& - Sprague Ave
print("".print_r($_GET,true).""); ## results below
Array
(
[id] => Wiser Communication, LLC -
[-_Sprague_Ave] =>
)
How do I make it so the string isn't split into two elements in the
array? I want it to stay instact.
Thank you,

[PHP] PHP 5.3.2 max_execution_time
I've got a Dokuwiki installation that is producing Apache errors saying that the maximum execution time of 30 seconds has been exceeded. So, I went and changed max_execution_time in php.ini expecting that this would solve the problem (which is due to large files taking a while to upload over an ADSL connection). However, the error log still reports that the old 30 second value is in use, even though Apache has been restarted. phpinfo() for the same site reports max_execution_time as 120 seconds, so it seems as if the change to php.ini has been detected as expected. Is there another setting that I need to consider? max_input_time is already set to 60 seconds and there are no local 'php_value' Apache configuration items fighting the ones in php.ini. PHP version is 5.3.2 and is running under a CentOS 6.0 system.

[PHP] concatenating
Is it possible to concatenate a string and an element from a mysql_fetch_assoc array? I haven't had much luck searching google. Such as concatenating "results" with ' . $posts_row['store_tptest'] .

I'm not sure the to while loops is the best control structure.
Why not try the following and see if it gets you the results you want?
__untested__
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
if ($num != "1") && $padnum = number_pad($num, "4")
{
echo $row['areacode'] . "-" . $row['prefix'] . "-" . $padnum . "";
$num++;
}

[PHP] text insertion
How do I preserve text formatting when text is inserted into a database table? For example: I am using a textarea to allow users to leave comments into the database and I am using: '" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['store_comments']) . "', to prevent SQL injection; But when I call the data with php from the database the format it was inserted is not preserved. Is there a way to make sure when a user adds new paragraphs or indentation it will be preserved?

Re: [PHP] pass text variables to next page
Thank you Tamara.
Not sure if I am doing it right. It looks like the last single quote
is being escaped.
When I dump the query I get:
SELECT store_id, store_subject FROM stores WHERE store_subject =
'Bella Roe 4980 Roe Blvd\'
I am thinking maybe I have too many single quotes some where, but I
can't find it.
echo ''
. $storerow['store_subject'] . ' at ' . date('m-d-Y',

The query:
$sql = "SELECT store_id, store_subject
FROM stores
WHERE store_subject = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']."'");

out how to do it for the following line of code.
echo '' .
$row['store_name'] . '' . $row['store_type'];
When i do a dump the query and
print("".print_r($_GET,true)."");
I get the following respectively:
SELECT store_id, store_subject FROM stores WHERE store_subject = Loma
Vista 8712 Blue Ridge BlvdThe topic could not be displayed, please try
again later.You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual
that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to
use near 'Vista 8712 Blue Ridge Blvd' at line 3
The PHP code for the query is:
Array
(
[id] => Loma Vista 8712 Blue Ridge Blvd
)
$sql = "SELECT store_id, store_subject
FROM stores
WHERE store_subject = " . mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']);

Jim, Alejandro makes a valid point. There is a naming convention change from apache 2.0. to 2.2 for the dll file. I know in your original post you specified that you loaded 2.0, but you may want to double check. Since 2.2 requires php5apache2_2.dll to work correctly.

[PHP] LDAP, Active Directory, and permissions
Hi, I've found various sources and are successfully manipulating Active Directory from PHP on our Domain Controller - frankly, things works much better than I expected :) I have now reached the point where I need to set permissions on objects in Active Directory, i.e. to restrict read permissions to certain OUs and objects within the directory (mainly related to Exchange stuff). Is there anything in PHP which can be used to set permissions on AD objects? I haven't found any reference to doing this anywhere, so I thought I'd give it a chance here... If not, then I suppose I'll have to code some ..NET application to act as a gateway between the PHP interface and Active Directory, but naturally I would like to do as much as possible from within PHP itself. Many thanks, -- Regards, Chris Knipe
Re: [PHP] "My truth comes out" [1]
settype looks like a no-go for this; per the php docs...
http://php.net/manual/en/function.settype.php
--
$bar = true; // boolean
settype($bar, "string"); // $bar is now "1" (string)
--
I think using a conditional here is the best (only?) way.
$bool = (strtolower($string)=='true')? true: false;
and if the default should be true...
$bool = (strtolower($string)=='false')? false: true;
If you you're going to use it a lot then wrap it in a function.
Also, (as was stated) preg_ is overkill here. php has a lot of nifty string
functions that should be taken advantage of before jumping onto regex.

Re: [PHP] simple class & constructor
Also wanted to point out that you can check the error reporting level and
log file location (really all of the php's settings) by calling phpinfo();
in your code.

Re: [PHP] simple class & constructor
Can you paste the index page's code here? If the page is going blank
there's probably an error (syntax, bad file path, etc). If you have access
you can turn error reporting on so you can actually see the error - or
better yet check the php error log file. Settings for both of these are in
the php.ini file, though sometimes they can be overridden by apache
directives (depending on the setup).

Re: [PHP] require_once
I see! Yes using an autoloader typically requires following a naming convention for your classes (though you can get around it by defining your own naming rules). I didn't care for it much at first, but it's nice that class names are explicit (less confusion when you have several) and not worrying about requiring all your files is a plus. Chris.

Re: [PHP] Execute a php page and don't wait for it to finish
What about simply having the script trip a flag that another background script checks every 60 seconds or so? Once a minutes a background script checks to see if it needs to preform any tasks. When a user hits a certain page it does an ajax request to trip this flag and immediately returns. The next time the background script checks if it needs to do anything, it sees the tripped flag and preforms the relevant database copy - or whatever :-) Chris.

Using it like that is asking for spaghetti code that's hard to maintain, scale, and train new developers on. I'd imagine it also adds overhead, though I don't know how much - my guess is negligible. OB can be a great tool, but it shouldn't be a hack to get around sloppy architecture. Just my 2 cents :) Chris.

So the controller starts off with the ball, then he and the model pass it between each other a few times until the controller finally hands it over to the view, who does her magic and makes the score! ... Perhaps that analogy went to far. At any rate! Ideally the sign-on task would be done before any tasks that would use sign-on data. Additionally, the layout of your page should not necessarily dictate the order of any tasks (i.e. the sign-on box being below the welcome box should not mean that the sign-on task gets done before the welcome task). Hope that helps! Chris.

When you are adding a row as an object you are calling 4 user
functions: MyTable::__construct(), MyTable::setId(),
MyTable::setName(),
and MyTable::setDescription(). This adds some overhead for sure, so you
might want to think about passing the row array into the construct and doing
away with the setters (at least for the initial instantiations).
Something like this...
-
public function __construct($dataArray=null)
{
foreach ((array)$dataArray as $rowKey => $rowValue)
{
$this->$rowKey = $rowValue;
}
}
==OR==
public function __construct($dataArray=null)
{
// maybe add casting here as well?
$this->_id = isset($dataArray['id'])?
$dataArray['id']: null;
$this->_name = isset($dataArray['name'])?
$dataArray['name']: null;
$this->_description = isset($dataArray['description'])?
$dataArray['description']: null;
}
==And instantiate like this==
$list = array();
while ($row = $db->fetch($result))
{
// I also changed setting the $list's key with "$row['id']" instead of
using the MyTable getter.
$list[$row['id']] = new MyTable($row);
}
---
I don't know how much faster that will run for you (if at all) but using
your method you were calling 5 user functions per result set from the db
(that's the construct, the getter to set the $list key, and 1 for each of
the 3 properties of the result) for a total of 18,420 user function calls.
With my method I'm calling 1 user function (the construct) for each set,
for a total of 3,684 calls. Of course a down-side is that if there's any
logic in your setters then that needs to be replicated in your construct.
Another method is to use a single object for all 3684 records. Perhaps you
can use the built in Iterator interface which lets your class's objects be
used as if they were an array for the purposes of foreach loops.
http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.iterations.php
You would set a pointer to the record you wish to use, and your getters and
setters would key off that element of the master array. This should be a
fast solution, while still giving you the power of encapsulation, getters
and setters.
Hope that helps!
Chris.
Re: [PHP] Array / form processing
I don't know what the context is like, but you may be better off just using an entire form here with hidden fields. i.e. Without knowing what else is going on in your page, and how the request is being handled on the server, it's kind of hard to give exact advice. :) Chris H.
Re: [PHP] Array / form processing
$_SESSION['life_coaching_order'][$product][$gift]['quantity'] =
$_SESSION['life_coaching_order'][$product][$gift]['quantity'] + 1;
===
...
===
foreach ($_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] AS $coaching_fee_theme_reference
=> $value ) {
===
In this example $value would be an array. To test if it is a gift or not you
would do this from within the foreach loop:
//gift
if ( isset($value[1]) && isset($value[1]['quantity']) )
{
$gift_quantity = $value[1]['quantity'];
}
//personal use
if ( isset($value[2]) && isset($value[2]['quantity']) )
{
$personal_quantity = $value[2]['quantity'];
}
Technically the above IF's are optional, but they are proper syntax.
I don't know how you are with OOP, but you may have more luck using objects
instead of a complex array.

Re: [PHP] Class mysqli not found
mysqli is set of functions not a class. The name to connect is
mysqli_connect
mysqli can be used as either a set of functions ( mysqli_connect(..) ) OR it
can be used an an object ( new mysqli(...) ). When used as an object you
just use the various functions as methods.

Short of refactoring ApplicationB, can you set it up as a SOAP/REST service

Unlike HTML, PHP interpretation doesn't have various browsers to contend
with. And even if it was not proper I have a doubt that not using {} would
become deprecated anytime soon.
Also laziness is a trait of a good programmer! :)

Re: [PHP] Variable (Class instantiation) collision
Just to clarify, both packages are instantiating and calling their respective database classes from the $db var, which is in the global scope. Is this correct? This is why I hate the global scope, I hate it, I hate it! On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 3:47 PM, Brian Smither wrote: > I am running into a variable collision.

Just to add in here, they are also required when calling an object's
properties, if - ready for this? - that object is itself a property of
another object.
so while this would work,
"$circle->circumference"
this would NOT work
"$circle->circumference->inches"
The later would be injecting the $circle->circumference property, followed
by string literal "->inches". So to get it to work you would need to use
curlys.
"{$circle->circumference->inches}"

Re: [PHP] which one is faster
Saeed here's a quick (and dirty) test I ran:
$tests = 100;
$start = microtime(true);
for ($i=0; $i<$tests; $i++) {
$a = md5( rand() );
$b = md5( rand() );
$c = $a.$b;
}
var_dump( "By concat op:\t". (microtime(true) - $start) );
$start = microtime(true);
for ($i=0; $i<$tests; $i++) {
$a = md5( rand() );
$b = md5( rand() );
$c = "$a$b";
}
var_dump( "By string:\t\t". (microtime(true) - $start) );
Sample results:
string(30) "By concat op: 2.1713118553162"
string(27) "By string: 2.2525599002838"
string(30) "By concat op: 2.2123351097107"
string(27) "By string: 2.2798750400543"
string(29) "By concat op: 2.1521489620209"
string(27) "By string: 2.2470209598541"
string(29) "By concat op: 2.1347990036011"
string(27) "By string: 2.1982681751251"
I would say that under virtually all cases that difference is less
then negligible.

[PHP] PHPExcel with large files (27,000+ rows)
I'm currently working on a project that requires the parsing of excel files. Basically the user uploads an excel file, and then a script needs to save a row in a Postgres database for each row in the excel file. The issue we are having is that when we task PHPExcel with parsing an excel file with, say 27k rows, it explodes with a memory error. I've read up on the PHPExcel forums and we've tried cell caching as well as ReadDataOnly, they do not seem to be sufficient. Does anyone here know of a way to do this? Surely there is a way to parse a large excel file with PHP. This is also NOT an on-demand service. That is, when someone uploads a file they get a task_id which allows them to check the status of their excel file. So the solution does not need to be a fast one! Thanks, Chris.

MySQL is not liking a query. It looks to be this one:
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO family (firstname, lastname, email,
password, relationship, story, image, ip, submitted) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s,
%s, %s, %s, %s, %s)",
I would echo or log $insertSQL just before you pass it to mysql_query() and
see if the SQL syntax looks right.

I would try to avoid having any code specific to a site, otherwise scaling your application to support even a hundred sites would involve overlapping hundreds of points of functionality and be a logistical nightmare. Unless you're simply wanting to do this for educational reasons... My suggestion would be to attempt to create an application that can craw all the sites, without specifics for each one. You could fire it with a single cron job, and give it a list of the urls you want it to hit. It can crawl one url, record the findings, move to the next, repeat. Chris.
Re: [PHP] Little Parsing help...
Don,
How far along are you? To get started something like this may work for
you...
preg_match_all('/[A-G]{1}#?/', $line, $matches);
That SHOULD return each note of the line (you can retrieve them via the
$matches array), given that there are no other upper-case characters that
are not notes. Also this assumes that $line has exactly one line in it. :)
If you get that working, perhaps you can setup something using the
preg_replace method?
http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php
Another option is to use the str_replace function.
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php
I gotta run (else I would type some more) but let me know if you want any
advice on using those!

Re: [PHP] Array question
Mike,
$results[] will automatically push a value unto the end of an array.
So doing this...
--
$magic = array();
$magic[] = 'a';
$magic[] = 'b';
$magic[] = 'c';
-
is exactly this same as doing this...
--
$normal = array();
$normal[0] = 'a';
$normal[1] = 'b';
$normal[2] = 'c';
-
And yes, in your example "$results[]" would be equivalent to "$results[$j]"

Re: [PHP] Copying an Object
You could create a method of class B that takes an object of class A as a
parameter and copies each property line by line (or method of class A that
takes an object of class B...). If you don't want to add a method you could
just do the same thing, but procedurally. The issue with this (aside from
being bad oop) is that you can't copy private properties unless you have all
the required getters and setters. The issue with both of these is that it's
ugly, high maintenance code.
There is the iterator class, extending from which would allow you iterate
through all of your properties in a foreach, but if you don't want to add a
new method then you likely don't want to add a parent class.
I don't care for any of these options, but as far as I know there's no
internal PHP mechanism to to copy all the properties from one object to
another object of a different class - please correct me if I'm wrong. Is it
possible that there's a more elegant solution to your problem that does not
include a mass copy of all an object's properties? (e.g. using statics like
Mr Bungle suggested or perhaps some nifty design pattern?)

I would advise against ignoring the other parameters. Doing so will pretty
much guarantee having your email end up in SPAM. Instead look up the
examples in the docs, or better yet use something like phpmailer as Tom
suggested.

Re: [PHP] How to store data that doesn't change?
When you really NEED a global resource I'm a fan of a registry class. It's
a little slower but not noticeable in most cases.
With a registry you can store all global data in a single, controlled area.
You can also store arrays and resources instead of just strings. One down
side to most registry classes is that it's not truly "constant" data, but
with magic methods you can correct that.
In this class you can store values globally, and once they are set they
can't be easily changed.
myRegistry::get()->test = array('abc','xyz');
myRegistry::get()->test = 1234;
echo myRegistry::get()->test[1]; // should echo 'xyz'
I just typed this up real quick so there may be errors; but if you want to
try it, it should at least give you the just of it.
-untested code
class myRegistry {
private $_Data = array();
static private $_Object = null;
static public function get () {
if( !( self::$_Object instanceof self ))
self::$_Object = new self();
return self::$_Object;
}
private function __construct () { }
public function __get ($name) {
if (isset( $this->_Data[$name] ))
return $this->_Data[$name];
return null;
}
public function __set ($name, $value) {
if (isset( $this->_Data[$name] ))
return false;
return $this->_Data[$name] = $value;
}
}

Re: [PHP] 1984 (Big Brother)
So whenever the boss is in a meeting and his screen saver kicks on then the business shuts down. Also I think we've established that thumbdrive + database = disaster. Maybe a thumbdrive that has file with some random hash. Then create a cron that checks for the existence of that file each minute. When the boss leaves the cron doesn't find the file and shuts down the DB, when the boss comes in the cron will see it and starts it up. But Tedd, I'm still thinking that a "dead man's switch" is the way to go. :) Chris.

The expiration would be set to whatever the client's preference is, and default to 8 hours if he doesn't have one. You may want to set some checks to ensure that the client's preference is within a specific range (e.g. between 30 minutes and 16 hours). Chris.
