Re: [PHP] Static utility class?
On Wed, Sep 4, 2013 at 12:25 PM, Micky Hulse mickyhulse.li...@gmail.comwrote: I want to have a utility class that contain utility methods which should have the option of being called multiple times on a page. ... To put it another way, is there any reason why I would not want to use the above code? The main problem caused by static methods is testability. Mocking or stubbing a static method requires using a PHP extension and ensuring that the original is reset whether the test passes or fails. As long as your utility methods don't perform actions you want to avoid during tests, this is fine. Good examples for a utility class are string-processing functions such as parsing and formatting, trimming and/or normalizing empty string to null, etc. You want tests to work against these methods directly since there's no need to avoid the work. You'll want to avoid static methods whenever you want to be able to fix the behavior (stubbing) to test scenarios in the class under test. An example is anything hitting a database or external service. In order to test that your downloader sends the correct warning email to the sysadmin when a REST call fails, you need to be able to force the REST call to fail. This is easy to do when you plug in an instance implementing the API because you can give it an implementation/mock that fails for all calls. I can't say if what you're thinking of will make a good utility class since the code you posted is fake. If you post some examples of methods you want to make static, we can give you pointers on which are good candidates and which are best left to instance methods. Peace, David

[1] I surround all operators except member access (. and -) with spaces, so that wouldn't be a problem for me. I thought there was an older language that used .., but all I can find now is Lua which was developed in the early nineties. So . is maybe not the best choice, but also remember when it was introduced: That was decades ago. That time it was (probably ;)) the best choice and nowadays I don't think it is too bad at all, beside that _other_ languages use it for other purposes now ;) C introduced . as the field access operator for structs in the early seventies, C++ kept it for object access, and Java adopted it in the early nineties. C's use of pointers required a way to access members through a pointer, and I suppose KR thought - looked like following a pointer (I agree). Since PHP was modeled on Perl and wouldn't implement objects or structs for another decade, it adopted . for string concatenation. It works fine, and I don't have too much trouble bouncing back-and-forth. I honestly would have preferred . to be overloaded when the left hand side was an object. In the rare cases that you want to convert an object to a string to be concatenated with the RHS, you can always cast it to string, use strval(), or call __toString() manually. But I'm not staging any protests over the use of -. :) Eclipse' code-completion and debugger never worked for me well (and most of the time: at all). It became slower and less responsive with every release. That was the reason I decided to leave it and I don't regret it :) I agree about the slowness, and until this latest release I've always left autocompletion manual (ctrl + space). They did something with Kepler to speed it up drastically, so much so I have it turned on with every keypress. However, it's a little too aggressive in providing choices. Typing null which is a Java keyword as in PHP, it will insert nullValue() which is a method from Hamcrest. :( After a couple weeks of this, I think I'll be switching it back to manual activation. I can type quickly enough that I only need it when I'm not sure of a method name. NetBeans, while not as good with refactoring and plugin support, is still zippier than Eclipse. And my short time with the JetBrains products found them to be fast as well. Eclipse's PHP support via PDT is not nearly as good as NetBeans, and no doubt PHPStorm beats them both. Peace, David

It seems to me there could be an easier operator than - which sometimes will make me stop and look at what keys I'm trying to hit. Just a thought. I forgot about the concatenation operator which is + in Java/C# The PHP language developers were pretty stuck. Because of automatic string-to-numeric-conversion, they couldn't use + for string concatenation. Sadly, they chose . rather than .. which I believe one or two other languages use. If they had, . would have been available once objects rolled around in PHP 4/5. I suspect they chose - since that's used in C and C++ to dereference a pointer. Ever tried the jetbrains products? :D (No, they don't pay me) I have not, but it looks interesting. I'll have to try it. Those are very good products which have had a strong following for a decade. The free IDE NetBeans also has quite good support for both Java and PHP, and the latest beta version provides a web project that provides front- and back-end debugging of PHP + JavaScript. You can be stepping through JS code and hit an AJAX call and then seamlessly step through the PHP code that handles it. I use NetBeans for PHP/HTML/JS (though I am evaluating JetBrains' PHPStorm now) and Eclipse for Java. You can't beat Eclipse's refactoring support in a free tool, though I think NetBeans is close to catching up. I would bet IntelliJ IDEA for Java by JetBrains is on par at least. Peace, David

I'm building a class which needs to have certain methods called by the

This is the Template Method pattern, though in this case you could use a
Strategy where the specific authentication implementation is in a separate
class that gets injected into the Auth class. As for your example there a a
few things I would change.
* The template method that the subclass must implement should not be
declared by an interface. Interfaces are for declaring public contracts.
You can simply declare an abstract, protected method in Auth. This is the
contract that every subclass must fulfill.
* I would avoid reference variables as you've indicated. If you don't want
to build a data-holder class yet, simply return an array for now. While you
cannot enforce the return type at parse time, they should be verified with
unit tests. Unit tests are critical with dynamic languages like PHP and
Python since runtime is the only way to verify behavior.
Otherwise, your example is spot on, though the name AuthRequestMade implies
the request has already been made yet I think from your description that
this method should *make* the actual request. Here's how I would write it
with the above in place.
class Auth {
public function MakeAuthRequest() {
// before
$this-MakeAuthRequestImpl(); // Adding Impl suffix is a
common convention

/**
* Make the actual authentication request.

Re: [PHP] Binding object instances to static closures

PHP doesn't have a method to do this. In JavaScript you can use jQuery's
var func = $.proxy(function () { ... }, object);
In fact, you cannot use $this inside a closure at all (unless 5.4 has added
a way that I haven't seen yet). You can get around that by declaring a
local variable to hold a reference to the instance to use with use. It
looks strange here because you're also passing in $testInstance for the
comparison.
?php
class TestClass {
public static function testMethod() {
$testInstance = new TestClass();
$closure = $testInstance-createClosure($testInstance);
call_user_func($closure);
// should be true
}
private function createClosure($testInstance) {
$self = $this;
return function() use ($self, $testInstance) {
return $self === $testInstance;
}
}

Re: [PHP] Binding object instances to static closures

be bound? That makes no sense! And yet it works.

While regular expressions are often used in the lexer--the part that scans

and
{ identifier: $foo }
that form the building blocks of the language--they aren't combined into a

machine that switches the active expressions to check based on the previous
tokens and context. Each expression recognizes a different type of token,
and many times these aren't even regular expressions.
The second stage--combining tokens based on the rules of the grammar--is
more complex and beyond the abilities of regular expressions. There are
plenty of books on the subject and tools [1] to build the pieces such as
Lex, Yacc, Flex, and Bison. Someone even asked this question on Stack

Re: [PHP] A Good OOP Tutorial/Read?
On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 7:04 AM, Tedd Sperling tedd.sperl...@gmail.comwrote:
To me there is no difference between an abstract class (without method
declarations) and an interface.
The key difference in OO languages that do not allow multiple inheritance
is that you can always add an interface to an existing class but you can
only mix in an abstract class if your class doesn't extend another.
Let's say you want to define the contract for a UserDataAccessObject with
query and CRUD methods. If you make it an abstract class, I cannot
implement that contract using my AbstractMysqlDao base class. With an
interface, I can do
class MysqlUserDao
extends AbstractMysqlDao
implements UserDataAccessObject
Being a dynamic language, PHP allows you to fulfill a contract without
using interfaces at all. You can call findUserByLogin() on any object--even
those that don't declare that interface via __call(). However, you won't be
able to pass your objects to methods that use parameter type hinting. This
is where interfaces really shine, and they become more important as your
project grows in complexity. They are certainly *not* required to make good
use of OOP, especially in PHP/Python/Ruby.
However, I view an interface as a statement (a contract) where IF you want
someone to use your code you outline the methods you require them to
flesh-out in their code -- but I would like to see a simple example of
that.
Interfaces come in handy when implementing the visitor and observer
patterns. Simple example are always contrived, but here's mine:
interface Engine {
function orderFuel(Store $store);
function setSpeed($mph);
}
class SteamEngine implements Engine {
function orderFuel(Store $store) {
$store-order('coal', 1000, WeightUnit::POUND);
}
function setSpeed($mph) {
if ($mph = 80) {
throw new InvalidArgumentException('Cannot exceed 80mph');
}
$this-loadFuel(...);
}
}
class MrFusion implements Engine {
function orderFuel(Store $store) {
$store-order('aluminum can');
$store-order('banana peel');
}
function setSpeed($mph) {
if ($mph = 88 empty($this-destinationTime)) {
throw new IllegalStateException('Must set desired time
travel destination');
}
$this-adjustThrottle($mph - $this-speed);
}
}
You could make Engine an abstract class, but that would reduce your users'
choice.

It took me hours of debugging (read: echo) to figure out what's going on, digging through some old PHP code (fun!): It appeared that only 1000 post variables arrived on the server. (Well, 1006 actually, but 2 were added by PHP, and that sounded like a PHP-style limitation of 1000.) A quick google lookup revealed that PHP introduced a new feature where it would limit the number of post variables. For safety reasons. The variable is called max_input_vars with a default of 1000. PHP states that this feature was introduced in 5.3.9, but I'm running 5.1.6 and the limit is enforced. Because the server is for production, it was running with on-screen warnings turned off. PHP says that it prints a warning and cuts. For me, that's a real WTF. A post request should be processed as all-or-nothing. It should instead refuse the request completely. But for a technology named personal home page the priorities are different.
Re: [PHP] mysql_connect noob question
Not meaning to beat the proverbial dead horse I am developing a web portal that has to display the tables in the DB via a form/script. The web page has a login with user and password. Right now I am just trying to connect. This for a commercial app - the client wants both an API connect via PHP and a web portal in which they can login from a web page and view the tables in the DB. Right now I am just trying to get the form/PHP interaction to work. This sounds like a very good use statement for http://www.phpmyadmin.net/http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/ You can set it for http auth in the config ... they enter a mysql username and password and they only see the databases and tables you want them to see Might be easier than reinventing the wheel and stressing all of us :)

However, it should be noted that the dot (period, full stop) is not a valid character in a PHP variable name. For the reason, look at it: ?php $varname.ext; /* invalid variable name */ ? Now, what the parser sees is a variable named $varname, followed by the string concatenation operator, followed by the barestring (i.e. unquoted string which doesn't match any known key or reserved words) 'ext'. Obviously, this doesn't have the intended result. For this reason, it is important to note that PHP will automatically replace any dots in incoming variable names with underscores.

It is. I promise you it is. You're not seeing it because you're not

Indeed you are correct:

'fakeuser'@'ip70-162-142-180.ph.ph.cox.net' (using password: YES)
iMac-333:~ glob$
I am doing exactly as you stated:
mysql_connect('localhost', $_POST['username'], $_POST['password']);
Except that I am first storing $_POST['username'] in local $user and
$_POST['password'] in local $pass first and then passing those to
mysql_connect. And I am connecting to a remote server, not localhost.
Side note: why are you putting them in other variables first when you're
only going to use them in that one place? It's a waste of memory. It's a
minor niggle but it's a pet hate of mine.
I am using them in other places - printing them on the response page to
see their values/show the user who logged in, etc.
I have already documented both the exact HTML and PHP code in this
thread and so see no need to post it elsewhere.
And you're saying that when, instead of using $_POST variables you
hard-code the username and password in the script it work? I doubt it.
I can assure you it does. However, I may have found the problem: the
port. As a security measure the BaaS provider appears to have changed
MySQL to a non-standard port. So
On the command line:
sudo mysql --host=instance43490.db.xeround.com --port=8904
--user=realuser --password=realpass
WORKS perfectly - entering the MySQL Monitor.
However, on the same host, same command line:
sudo mysql --host=instance43490.db.xeround.com:8904 --user=realuser
--password=realpass
Does NOT work - returning an error that the host is not found.
So it appears to be the port, which begs the obvious question: is there
a way to tell mysql_connect() to use a different port?
Yes - please see the documentation page for mysql_connect, in particular the
Server parameters part.
SNIP
I assume you have taken notice of the warnings in the documentation about
deprecation of the mysql_ functions in favour of mysqli_ or PDO.

enter, say 'XX' like I did above or leave it blank, then the error is
produced. I placed an if statement around the foreach loop to test for
that and I'll keep an eye on it.
Thank you for getting me to look at the array again, which led me to look
at the State.

Presumably there is a fixed list of State - those are US states? - so why
not provide a drop down list of the possible choices?

I wouldn't have thought it possible, but I just found one case with PHP 5.4
where it can appear as the keyword without a trailing ::. Apparently you
can use it to instantiate the parent class just as you can with new self.
class Foo { }
class Bar extends Foo {
public function foo() {
return new parent;

}
I think you'll be safe if you can highlight it only when preceded by new

Misunderstanding what $cookie contains? It is a boolean, i.e. it will be
true or false depending on whether the cookie was set or not. To echo the
contents of a cookie, you need to use the cookie name, viz
?php echo 'Cookie is: '.$_COOKIE['test2'].br; ?

Re: [PHP] Late static binding behaves differently in PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4
Hi Keven,
First, I don't see any late static binding being used here. LSB only
applies when you access a static member using the static keyword within a
class method. This code uses static properties but accesses them directly
without going through class methods. Here's an example of LSB:
class Foo
{
static $my_var = 'The Foo';
static function dump() {
echo static::$my_var . \n;// Use Foo's or Bar's depending
on what appears before ::dump()
}
}
class Bar extends Foo
{
static $my_var = 'The Bar';
}
Bar::dump();// The Bar
Foo::dump();// The Foo
Here Foo::dump() uses LSB to pick the source of $my_var.
That being said, what you're seeing does look like a change (or bug) in how
PHP accesses constants. Given that it is order-dependent, my guess is that
5.4 introduced a bug that causes Bar to push its constant up into Foo. The
strange thing is that the constant is compiled into the class, and since
Bar extends Foo I would expect Foo to be compiled first regardless of the
order in which you access the static variable later.

From what I understood about || is once it sees a true the whole statement
is regarded as true so nothing else following matters so PHP ignores
everything in the conditional after it evaluates as true...
and once it sees a false the whole statement is regarded as false so
nothing else following matters again
even the docs say short circuiting is used :)

But when script 2 attempts to access the contents of the Session array

171.16.23.44 is by an A record called server2.mydoamin.com they are 2

This script returns an error:

I have tried this by fully qualified domain name, same thing.
I have ensured the route does exist on the connecting server.
I have ensured there is no local reference to the domain name/IP back to
its self.
I log into 171.16.23.44 and there is NO record of the failed attempt.
I validate the user has remote access rights.
I validate there is not a firewall rule blocking the host/port/you name
it. I telnet from the server to the destination via port 3306 it connects.
BTW (171.16.23.44) IS FAKE I AM USING THE IP AS AN EXAMPLE HERE.
Any clue as to WHY the host parameter is not setting or is it setting and
something else is wrong?
You are attempting a connection by u...@server1.mydomain.com
This request is made to the mysql server on host server2.mydomain.com which
responds with the error that access is denied for the user named 'user' on

The most likely problem is that on server2.mydomain.com you do not have

David,
Just putting this out there, but the use of a foreach() loop here, is
redundant...
You are putting your query results into an array, and then looping through
them after with the foreach(), instead of just using the while loop to loop
through them initially... so you're doing the same thing, twice, just using
the foreach() after the while.
One thing I was always told when I was learning c++ (my teacher was anal,
and always forced us to try and be more efficient), using = uses more cpu
cycles, than or , so when you're checking 0 = 0.1 true, false, you could
exchange your check to be 0 0.1 false, else true...
This is what I like to hear. It's stuff like this this that I haven't found in
a text book. Even when Bastian said $row is a pointer. Ah Yes! That
helped tremendously.
Also, setting the variable $product and $price, with the value from the
database $row['product'], would be less cycles than to just echo the
$row['product']...
Hehehehe who said I wanted this exercise to be easy? LMBO
That is just some $0.02... I wouldn't personally create more code, just to
try something out... use the right function for the job, write less code
than needed (sometimes, a little more code for readability is better
though), and most importantly... have fun.
I appreciate your feedback and it's conversations like this that help the
most.
One thing I do, is my coding and bracing style is something that Tedd
Sperling doesn't like (there have been many discussions about bracing
styles), I keep my braces all in line, and always use them in my if()s...
ie:
If($yourmom == $hot)
{
Echo MILF!;
}
Else
{
Echo Pass.;
}
And I do this for readability, so I can see if I forgot a brace somewhere,
and also, I always know that there are braces (with a 4space indentation, or
tab stops set at 4 space)
I have Kate set up to create auto brackets so I'll never forget to close one
and I have lines on the left hand side that connect each open bracket to it's
corresponding close bracket. Any open end lines means I'm missing something.
1 more point, doing multiline comments, use /* insert comment here */ and
not just //, and with that, I use inline comments with #, but that is just
me.
That long comment I made about the variable I didn't use was actually typed in
the e-mail in my reply to Bastian and wasn't in the code. If it was in the
code I would have used /* */
Overall though, I am glad to see you're learning, and having fun doing so...
Thanks. The whole purpose of me doing this was to get to play with foreach()
and I've been down with while for a while.. LMBO it was just too easy to use
while and I was trying to force myself to keep thinking.
When Bastian pointed out that $row was a pointer, just that little bit of info
changed the whole course of how I was thinking. I was thinking $row was an
array with all the results in it and with his little bit of info and knowing I
wanted to play around with foreach() I just stuck to whatever came up and this
is what the result was... :-)
Alot of times I need to be reminded. Like hey! that's a CONSTANT not a

Foreach is an iterator over an array. Your $row is a pointer to a db result
set. If you were to pass the $row result set to the foreach as an array,
you'd get what you think you should
Www.php.net/foreach
Thanks Bastien.
Heres what I started with:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM items);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
foreach($row as $rows){
$row = 0;
if($row == 0){
echo $rows;
} else{
echo Too expensive I'm going home LOL;
}
}
Here's what I ended up with after you gave me the advise:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM items);
$rows = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
$rows[] = $row;
foreach($rows as $row){
$product = $row['product'];
$price = $row['price'];
echo $product ;
echo $price ;
$justright = 0;
$toohigh = 5; //I was going to use this to check if the price was too high
just so I could use an elseif in the exercise,
but I realized that
it would only work if the if() evaluated to
false, which would be
impossible. Ahhh pizz on it, it was fun anyway!
:-)
if($justright = $price){
echo Not bad. I'll buy it.br /;
} else
echo Too expensive I'm going home LOL ;
}
It's a dumb script that makes no sense but I had a blast doing this. When
things start coming together like this, it gets so gratifying. :-)

Hi, David, glad you're sticking with it.
I don't understand what you're trying to do here, though:
if(!is_dir($dirBase./.$get_the_album) || strtr($get_the_album, .)
!=NULL
|| strtr($get_the_album, \\) !=NULL){
echo Album does not exist.;
}
It's suposed to be strstr. This was an attempt to make sure that nobody could
get into any directories lower than the directory that contained the image
folders. Funny thing is it was still working with my typos. There probably is
a better way to do it, but by breaking it down is how I was able to understand
it. anyway I fixed it and It should look like this:
if(!is_dir($dirBase./.$get_the_album) || strstr($get_the_album, .) !=NULL
|| strstr($get_the_album, /) !=NULL || strstr($get_the_album, \\) !=NULL){
echo Album does not exist.;
}
echo Album does not exist.;
}
PHP function strtr takes 2 or 3 arguments, but if only supplying a
simple string for argument 2, you *must* supply a string for argument
3 as well.
When I try this:
$ php -r '$s = strtr(a string,.); var_dump($s);'
This is the result:
PHP Warning: strtr(): The second argument is not an array in Command
line code on line 1
PHP Stack trace:
PHP 1. {main}() Command line code:0
PHP 2. strtr() Command line code:1
bool(false)
which indicates the strtr function call failed.
What is it you want to do there? Are to trying to see if
$get_the_album contains a . or a backslash? If so, you will want to
use some sort of search or match facility, not the character
substitution function of strtr. If so, something like this will work
instead:
if (
! is_dir($dirBase./.$get_the_album) // this is not a directory
|| ! strpos($get_the_album, '.') // directory name does
not contain a period
|| ! strpos($get_the_album, '\') // directory name does
not contain a backslash
)
{
echo Album does not exist.;
}
If that isn't what you want to do, could you provide a simple sentence
(not code) of what you want to do there?
Later when I get home from work about 1, I am going to run your example so I
can see the differences.

I doubt he's gone for good. Looking at the archives[1], he shows up once in a few months with some random question (making same mistakes over again). So if he's gone now, he'll probably show up in a few months. [1] http://marc.info/?a=12566756423r=1w=2 I'm not gone, I just quit posting on this subject, because things got so twisted along the way, that everyone is now perceiving me to not know the slightest thing about PHP and being someone I'm not! In my very original post on this series, I was using opendir and someone had suggested using glob. Well I didn't know much about glob, because of course I hadn't got that far yet, but since someone else had backed up the suggestion from the original poster I was dumb enough to jump forward to the unknown and cause myself to get confused and flustered and my train of thought blew right out the window! But, I'm the kind of person that doesn't give up! I was determined to figure out how to get glob to work for what I was trying to do because it was suggested by people who KNOW what they are doing and I KNOW they know what they are doing! I kept telling myself glob is the answer, so really there's no reason to be SMUG about it! I should have went back to using opendir, but if I did that, someone would be on my ass about that sooner or later, harping at me that they showed me how to use glob! To top it off, I started dabbling and trying to learn PHP, back somewhere around early 2000 or 2001 and by that time I had my 2nd child on the way, but by 2002 I had had 3 kids born in '99, 2000 and 2002. So I had to put what I wanted to do on hold until here about a year ago, some things have changed since then in the PHP world and I'm pushing 45 years old and my brain isn't as sharp as it was 20 years ago! So, yes I got confused, and I didn't know much about return because I hadn't used it yet but that doesn't give anyone the right to judge me on that basis! With that said, I just may leave the list. After all if this is all I'm going to get out of it, it's not worth it! -- David M.

It may not have solved your understanding of 'glob' (which is just another function - how could it alone mess up your project?) At first is was going to be a project, because I thought that would help keep focus, but once I was introduced to glob it went from being a project, to a function to just plain code. I turned all my attention to glob and that little bit of code that I completely forgot I was trying keep focus by keeping it a project. but it has felt your pain and offered you some ways to get up to speed. Don't leave - take the advice with the sentiment it was given and learn. This list is all about learning. Just don't tackle the Tour de France until you get your training wheels off! :) Your advise was not what bothered me, it was way off base to say the least. What bothered me was the judgement that was cast upon me because I didn't understand return very well and when that came up, it added to my confusion and frusturation of trying to use glob which wasn't even my plan in the first place.

In Pascal, implicitly, you return when execution reaches the end of a function. In fact the same is true of PHP and JavaScript, but in those languages you can return early just by saying return. IMO, this is a major limitation of Pascal. I use returns wherever I feel like it - if I detect there's nothing more for the function to do, I return. Purists object to this; they say you should enter a function at one place and leave at one place. Well, that's a point of view. But more often that not it just leads to convoluted code in order to achieve that. The one time I *had* to use Pascal as that was the only option, I simply put a 999: label at the end of the function and did goto 999 wherever I wanted to do a return. Simples! goto was the thing that got on my nerves. Even to this day I hate that word with a passion. -- David M.

I hate to sound condescending, but you are showing some serious
deficiencies in your programming ability. I have to say that you are
tackling some very complex processes without the basic understanding of
programming that one needs. What I base this opinion on is that since
you first revealed your lack of understanding of Return and echo in php,
you have spent another 3 days and STILL don't understand? Really?
I was afraid when I first posted that question, it would give that impression.
I've known what echo does, but not very much about return. Also a part of me
has always wondered when I'm studying code from things like wordpress I don't
think I have seen any echo statements. If I did it was very very few. (hint:
why I asked about templeting systems about a month ago.)
As for the code above - once again it looks like you have posted a
re-typing of some code you have tried to execute. I say that because
you have a query and a fetch of one record of the results THAT HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REST OF THE CODE!
The query is geting a number out of the database and putting the value in
$prefix.
Also - you have an array
being used as part of the Rel tag? What's up with that? (I think you
meant to use $match - but that further verifies that this is NOT the
code you ran.)
I tried using $match and $matches because I got confused there for a bit and
changed it.
Finally - the code is (from your description) doing exactly what it is
designed to do (the running code that is).
It sure is, and I found out what my whole problem was this morning before I
went to work. My problem was lightbox was not putting all the images in
$match. but I never suspected it until Matijn and Marco, posted an example of
code and It turned my attention to the piece of code... put a bunch of
images in a folder and try running the code. You'll see what I'm talking
about.
All the (repeated) echo
statements are going to put something on your web page.
Yes I was getting stuff on the page, and then when I'd try and build onto the
idea, and things broke, I'd try something else, and something else, until
finally I'm all confused with it. for example I'd forget to terminate something
and get a blank screen and imediately suspect it was the new code I
introduced. After the millionith time I started realizing when I get a blank
screen, I forgot my semicolon at the end of a line somewhere.
The question
you have is (apparently) how to hide them, since I believe Lightbox is
going to have to have them present in order to do its thing.
That's part of it. the other part is that lighbox is supposed to do that
automatically and it should, and that's another reason I was getting confused.
like I said earlier run the code and you'll see what I'm saying.
And so -
in parting - I think you need to develop some html knowledge to
facilitate that hiding part and some immediate skills in the general
area of programming and learning to locate and read the right manuals.
Glob is the least of your concerns.
Yes - I'm being rough (I say this to you David as well as the rest of
the community that is still interested in this post) but somebody has to
make you realize that you are seriously in over your head and don't even
know it.
I've said it many times, I am doing this to try and further my knowledge in
PHP and get past the basic echoing of variables and strings, and this is
nothing more than practice.
Have you read a book on php and perhaps one on CSS to help
with your hiding problem? (BTW - that last was a hint.)
I've read plenty of PHP books I own at least 5 and ALL of them I've read
hardly ever explain anything at all. They just throw some code in there and
say this is what it does and gives a picture of the finished product. Total
waste of my money! Also, how am I going to learn PHP if I've

perhaps someone should have suggested that he post actual code when
looking for help in the future, and not some typing that is supposed to
represent the problem.
In this case, Im looking for the function he called

The first loop and return is all you will get.
Put the information into an array and return the array once the array is
built.
I think I understand what your saying, but what I don't understand is that
when I leave the current code intact and replace return $filename with echo
$filename in the function, all the images display. Is this intended behavior
between return and echo or is it just bad code on my part?

Hi David,
A return statement will immediately halt execution of the current
function and return to where it was called.
In your case, the foreach loop will execute once and find a return
statement, and thus halting execution of the function and returning only
the first filename.
echo() is simply another function call (except it's a language construct
and not a function) and will not halt execution as return does.
That's what I was looking for.
What you want to do is something like:
$filenames = array();
foreach ($matches as $filename) {
$filenames[] = $filename;
}
return $filenames; // this is now an array containing all the filenames
I see where I wasn't thinking correctly. I thought that $filename had already
contained all the results.
But this is rather unneccesary, as $matches already is an array and
contains everything you need. Thus all you have to do is:
return $matches;
I had thought this also, and tried this but didn't get any results. probably
because I did something wrong somewhere else and didn't realize it.
Which in turn can be shortened to:
function filename($prefix)
{
return glob('images/property_pics/'. $prefix .'*');
}
I'll mess around with this and see what I can learn..

function filename($prefix)

echo completeImageFilename($row['MLS_No']);
With the above code I only get the first image of each picture name, but

On Wednesday, October 03, 2012 10:01:50 PM James wrote:
All of the images are displaying because you're simply instructing the
function to print out each file found with your call to glob(). The glob()
function returns an indexed array containing files found in the path you
specified, or an empty array if no files were found or false if glob()
failed. When I say print I'm referring to you using the echo language
construct, however, print is also another language construct.
Therefore using echo in your function allows the foreach loop to continue
iterating through the array of files returned by glob(). Replacing that
echo with the return, the function ones one iteration in the foreach loop
and stops, returning that value. In your case, the function is returning
index 0 of the array returned by glob().
Make more sense?
Absolutely. I also think I learned that return can also work like echo if the
code is written correctly.

The first loop and return is all you will get.
Put the information into an array and return the array once the array
is
built.
I think I understand what your saying, but what I don't understand is
that
when I leave the current code intact and replace return $filename with
echo
$filename in the function, all the images display. Is this intended
behavior
between return and echo or is it just bad code on my part?

I read about glob() on php.net before I replied, but I believe now it's
registering. From what I understand glob works just like opendir() but does
everything all in just 1 function. so in your code I realize you passed the
variable $prefix into glob, along with the path to the files. This put the path
images/property_pics/ and each image name from glob into $prefix you then
assigne the value of $glob to $matches. Sound about right? :-)

[B] negates [A]. PHP must either parse the file into opcodes or load

[B] does not negate [A]. There's a difference between parsing the
syntax and defining functions, classes constants and globals, and
generating bytecode. In a 'normal' file I guess syntax definitions are
only about 5% of the total contents, the rest can be ignored until
being called.
I won't claim a deep understanding of the PHP internals, but I have enough
experience with varied compiled and interpreted languages and using PHP and
APC that I'm confident that the process to include a file involves:
1. Load the opcodes
A. Either read the file from disk and parse the PHP into opcodes, or
B. Load the cached opcodes from APC.
2. Execute the top-level opcodes
Any syntax errors--even those in unreachable code blocks--will cause the
script to fail parsing. For example,
if (false) {
function foo() {
SYNTAX ERROR!
}
}
will cause the parse to fail even though the function cannot logically be
defined. PHP doesn't even get that far.
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in php shell code

When answering this question, please approach the matter strictly from
a caching/performance point of view, not from a convenience point of
view just to avoid that the discussion shifts to a programming style
and the do's and don'ts.
While out of convenience you might be tempted to include the file in every
script, when considering performance alone you should include the file only
in those scripts that will make use of its contents.

I assume that the decision isn't really about using a property versus a

cases I add an internal private property to save the result of the costly
computation and initialize it on the first call to the accessor method.
class User {

public function isSubscriber() {
if ($this-_isSubscriber === null) {
$this-_isSubscriber = ... call database or whatever takes

If this isn't the case and you really just want to know which API is nicer,
any of the replies so far are acceptable. I favor accessor methods because
it's easier to change the implementation without having to change all the

Re: [PHP] Mac 10.7 Install/Copy fresh PHP over Pre-Installed PHP

I have other stacks Xampp (beta for Mac not for production) and is used by many folks w/out issue, however this is a production system, hence my wonderment frustration as to why IMAP was removed by Apple and not a dev box for me to install 3rd party tools and have an issue with our IT. I also considered MAMP or FastStack, however that meant there are two installs of both Apache PHP. I did a test and put the preinstalled stuff on port 8080. But, I thought, It's a server OS, why not use what came installed? And that was one of my original questions alluding to perhaps IMAP was installed but turned off at some not so obvious point just waiting to be restored. I originally sent the following as a PM to TR Shaw... The OS is 10.7 Lion Server! (I'm really emphisising server, because when I presented my situation to our IT and a call to Apple I was told that it was there! By the end of the call Apple said, sorry (after a nearly 20min hold, suppose he asked someone more experienced) and my IT said, hey let's just try the new 10.8 maybe that will fix it? I realized I was dealing with an very experienced Mac IT person who really didn't know. I read the instructions on adding c-client 2007, but make is an invalid cmd, apparently that's pulled by Apple too; is there a way to add php_IMAP w/out? I got as far as downloading un-tar, but failed at make osx...filename... http://bit.ly/JWre51 TRShaw: What/Where/Why is the path /etc/intl ? I'm not familiar w/Mac, what are steps 3 4? And lastly I'm reluctant to install XCode or MacPorts because, I'm not IT and this is not a dev box. I think that these are the responsibility of IT, who manages the server desktops network. I really just want to drop my program in and run away :) JeffPGMT TR Shaw ts...@oitc.com wrote in message news:c512aca8-a6ed-45e9-873f-c0e72dd9e...@oitc.com... Actually, adding extensions (even normally bundled ones) to the stock Snow Leopard PHP is quite easy: 1) Download the source tarball of php and unpack it 2) cd into ext/name_of_the_extension (like ext/intl in your case) 3) run phpize 4) run ./configure with appropriate flags 5) make install Then you just enable the freshly built .so file in your php.ini and you are done.

Mac OSX 10.7, Using the pre-installed Apache Php, IMAP is not installed, pulled out my Apple for this server OS. I don't know if it is, but something below seems very odd to me: $ php -v PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/php_imap.dll' - dlopen(/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/php_imap.dll, 9): image not found in Unknown on line 0 I might be wrong here on 10.7, as I haven't even migrated off 10.5, but, I've never seen a .dll file on a mac -- they're windows dynamic link libraries. I think somehow things are little messed up there... Someone has suggested installing MAMP, which is a much better solution in general that what Apple supplies. The issue is knowing which you're running at any point in time, which for most things, MAMP will handle correctly.
