Re: [PHP] Re: Delaying $(document).ready() in jQuery until php script finish
Optimization also becomes a more manipulative, due to the stem point of your further language utilization. If you divide your languages, and disperse them through a C framework, you can utilize the languages in their refined form, and if any portion of an individual language gives optimization problems, you move that particular segment toward a more optimized C implementation. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Did you forget the term epicenter of an app/site? Going back to my previous question then, 'what's the point of PHP' in all of this when you're trying to achieve an optimized C application? PHP is just a portion of the ripple from C, which can got to php(e.g. echo html), and then js in the html, and css in the html, but either can be used in the html with interpolation of strings. Thhe C acts as the pivot point, intertwining the languages above. You can use each one individually. You could do this from a php standpoint/python/html/etc. C becomes the root and the others just branches and leaves woven together with %whatever. -- According to theoretical physics, the division of spatial intervals as the universe evolves gives rise to the fact that in another timeline, your interdimensional counterpart received helpful advice from me...so be eternally pleased for them. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You start with just the spit out portion of C, and use the higher levels to prototype...then remove the higher level as you eliminate the inefficient portions, and replace with lower level, C, implementations of these higher level/platform dependent prototyped functions. Isn't this true for every other languages such Python, Perl, and Java? They were written in C at the core.

If using C just for optimization, then aren't selling yourself short for longer development and maintenance time when too many languages involved? Not C just for opto, but basic C for the later project utilization. It's just a quick spit out of the other languages which are interpolated to C string on the page. A simple C string with everything else you want in the higher level languages. But then you decide a few php results are slow, so you use a C function.

Re: [PHP] Re: Delaying $(document).ready() in jQuery until php script finish
As I mentioned below, if PHP is sluggish, shouldn't it be brought up to the PHP developers instead? Why would you try include more complexity? I'm sure it has, it's called benchmarks. And they can't top C or Fortran, last I saw. But that is not the point. And did you not see my point about how it's just an initial usage of C to put out php and html/css/js, and that 'complexity' must be as simple as a printf function in another language.

No, the DBA is needed because the amount of the data that our site handles for the customers specific to local region. The manager just happens to be a software developer. Did he tell you that, or provide credentials? That;s what most project heads do, I assume. We only wrote codes because we needed some functionality to improve efficiency of the site. Prior to writing the code, we had submitted a BRD to corporate for them to provide us that functionality. They said it's not necessary without further explanation. In the end, we all left the company because upper management didn't seem to be really business economic aware. Even the site manager left the company too. For me, when the CEO gives a presentation about outlook for the company, he said that 'we're still trying to figure out why the company didn't meet last year projections'. This was 6 months in the new fiscal year. I lost all respect for upper management. In all my job experiences, except that company, all of the upper management are very concerned about how on track is the company with the projections on a month by month basis.

On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 9:52 PM, Brian Waters brianmwat...@gmail.com wrote:
So I decided to write a template class in order to get myself going on
learning PHP. Of course I wrote the simplest thing possible:
class Template
{
protected $template;
protected $vars;

$this-template = $template;
}
public function __set($name, $value)
{
$this-vars[$name] = $value;

public function __get($name)
{
return $this-vars[$name];
}
public function __toString()
{
ob_start();
eval('?' . $this-template);
return ob_get_clean();
}
}
Which you can use, quite simply like this:
$tpl = new Template(file_get_contents('index.tpl.php'));
$tpl-title = 'Here\'s the title';
$tpl-text = 'Blah blah blah...';
echo $tpl;
I have a few questions though.
- First, I'm storing the template as an actual string, instead of just
a path to a template file, which means I'm using eval() instead of
require() in my __toString(). My thinking was that this would avoid
reading the template file twice in the case that __toString() gets
called multiple times. But will PHP handle this automagically if I do
in fact decide to store a path to a file, and call require() instead?
- Secondly, I noticed that in the constructor, it's not necessary to
initialize $vars to an empty array, and I haven't done so. I guess PHP
automatically initializes it the first time I set one of its elements
to a value. Is this okay, or is there a better way in the name of best
practices?
- Finally, I'd like to be able to limit what things can be accessed
from the scope of the template file. As it stands, if you have a
function named blowUpTheComputer() or a gobal variable called
$dontTouchThis, a template author can easily cause trouble. They can
also access any methods and properties of the Template class. How
would you go about restricting this?

first. It's like trying to design a debugger for a language you don't
know how to debug. Learn first, and debug,, template later, once you
know what you're templating.

The final script I assume is getting sent some info from the cURL call and is using it somehow (in a DB maybe?) before some sort of message back to your curl call. What is the code then doing with it after that? Other than placing it in the main php file(index.php), at the position you called it at, and at which it sits in precedence at?

Re: [PHP] Paging and permissions
On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 7:36 AM, Arno Kuhl ak...@telkomsa.net wrote: I'm hoping some clever php gurus have been here before and are willing to share some ideas. I have a site where articles are assigned to categories in containers. An article can be assigned to only one category per container, but one or more containers. Access permissions can be set per article, per category and/or per container, for one or more users and/or user groups. If an article is assigned to 10 categories and only one of those has a permission denying access, then the article can't be accessed even if browsing through one of the other 9 categories. Currently everything works fine, with article titles showing when browsing through category or search result lists, and a message is displayed when the article is clicked if it cannot be viewed because of a permission. Now there's a requirement to not display the article title in category lists and search results if it cannot be viewed. I'm stuck with how to determine the number of results for paging at the start of the list or search. The site is quite large (20,000+ articles and growing) so reading the entire result set and sifting through it with permission rules for each request is not an option. But it might be an option if done once at the start of each search or list request, and then use that temporary modified result set for subsequent requests on the same set. I thought of saving the set to a temporary db table or file (not sure about overhead of serializing/unserializing large arrays). A sizing exercise based on the recordset returned for searches and lists shows a max of about 150MB for 20,000 articles and 380MB for 50,000 articles that needs to be saved temporarily per search or list request - in the vast majority of cases the set will be *much* smaller but it needs to cope with the worst case, and still do so a year down the line. All this extra work because I can't simply get an accurate number of results for paging, because of permissions! So my questions are: 1. Which is better (performance) for this situation: file or db? have you timed it yourself? 2. How do I prepare a potentially very large data set for file or fast writing to a new table (ie I obviously don't want to write it record by record) Even the db's cant insert as fast as the function is presented to it, and it can respond, so again...timeit 3. Are there any other alternatives worth looking at? This is a question for the experienced php developers. But the above is applicable.

Re: [PHP] Secure monetary transactions
On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 8:29 AM, Bob McConnell r...@cbord.com wrote: From: Paul M Foster I'm certain people on this list have set up this type of system for customers. So I have some questions: 1) Does the usual online store software (osCommerce or whatever) include secure pages for acceptance of credit cards? I know they have the capability to pass this info securely off to places like authorize.net for processing. 2) Assuming a customer website, probably hosted in a shared hosting environment, with appropriate ecommerce store software, how does one deal with PCI compliance? I mean, the customer would have no control over the data center where the site is hosted. Moreover, they would probably have little control over the updating of insecure software, as demanded by PCI. They likely don't have the facilities to do the type of penetration testing PCI wants. So how could they (or how do you) deal with the potentially hundreds of questions the PCI questionnaire asks about all this stuff? How do you, as a programmer doing this for a customer, handle this? 1) No. 2) PCI compliance is neither simple nor cheap. If you have not done it before, hire a consultant that has and have them train you. You will also need annual refresher courses and a good auditor to validate your site every month. You will need to change data centers, as you need one that is PCI compliant for the pages that will handle protected information. There are requirements for physical security of those servers as well as the software that runs on them. You also have a choice of maintaining your own servers or finding a managed hosting service that will maintain them for you. One of the requirements is that you must maintain separate servers for development and testing. You also need to establish a formal development, test and deployment process. The developers are not allowed to have any access to the production servers. We have four sets, development, QA test, User Acceptance Test and production. The latter two are exposed to the Internet, while the first two are internal only. We have several sites that are now PCI compliant. It took us eight months after the decision to get the first one online and certified. Most of that was training and waiting for the audits and certification, as we nearly passed the initial validation on the first try. But we had to change hosting providers twice to find one that we were comfortable with. After that is all said and done, keep in mind that the primary purpose of the PCI requirements is to mitigate the financial liability of the credit card issuers. If anything goes wrong at your end that exposes privileged data, you will be financially responsible for the damages. So make sure you go above and beyond those requirements to protect yourself.

Sure, it's a little longer to type, but it tells you what that number measures. In today's world of objects and loosely-typed languages, a descriptive variable name can be more important than a symbol or notation to hint at the type. As for arrays, I always name the variable plural. And if it maps keys to values instead of holding a list of items, I will typically name it $foosByBar, e.g. $customersById. From that name I *know* it's array already--no need for a prefix or special symbol. $oPlayer, $sName, $iWidth...what's the point? The context in which the variable is used can provide more meaning. If you stick to short functions/methods that do one specific thing, you'll be able to tell that $player is an object, $name is a string, and $width is an integer.

Dear List -
Thank you with your excellent help in the past. Here is another puzzler
I am trying to write a program that can have two(2) independent forms
in one PHP file. When I run the code below [from PHP - A Beginner's
Guide], to which I have added a second form, it freezes. Without the
goto statements, it runs. When it does run, it displays both forms
on one Web screen. What I desire is for the first form to be
displayed, the data entered and then the second form displayed. In
an actual, not test program like this one, the data in the second
form would be dependent on the first form.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks in advance.

I want to know the communities opinion of PDO: everyone uses it or no one uses it or it's great or what? In previous experience with questions such as these, you will get several types of individual responses to usages of the software. Some good, some bad, depending on the experience level of the commenter with both the language and the code in question. It's a combination of your current understanding of php and the associated usages of other languages, and what you want to know. Don't trust what people say, trust what feels right at the current time of your usage of the php library available/your experience level, and what you currently know how to use. From my experience with several languages, once you know the basics, even if you do re-invent the 'wheel', so did firestone,michelin, and goodyear, and they're not complaining. And you'll feel better for reinventing, than using someone elses. Thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

But it would work in something like makehuman, where you start with a neuter form and scale one way or the other for physical features. If I remember correctly, we're' all xx until you become xy(genetically speaking). This type of thing would especially be easy if objects of parent classes could be cast as an object of its extended class. Where would the extra data come from to fill in any fields the base class does not have? Just think of a simple example with a Shape class, extended by a ColouredShape class which contains some data about the object's colour - if you have a Shape object it can't become a ColouredShape without some surgery because bits of the ColouredShape's anatomy are not present. -- Gary Please do NOT send me 'courtesy' replies off-list.

There are static checkers out there, even some FOSS ones. I guess I'm just a bit frustrated that (as you say) the man page says that -l checks syntax but doesn't really detail what kind of things that covers. Actually, I can't even find a decent description of what E_STRICT covers :( just that Enabling E_STRICT during development has some benefits.

This does seem to be a predominant theme amongst some open source projects. STRICT messages will help you to use the latest and greatest suggested method of coding, for example warn you about using deprecated functions. Some benefits? For example?

The web site in its basic form allows users to send cars from a point and then the car will arrive at another point. When the car is set on its way, the start time, travel duration and end time are all known and stored in a MySQL database, what I would like to happen is that an event is triggered on the server at the end time and then an e-mail is sent to the user. This should happen regardless of whether someone is browsing the website or not. I don't believe that I'll be able to solely use PHP, I have spent the afternoon trying to look at potential solutions but I have to admit I've drawn a blank. Google hasn't been helpful (64 pages so far), as any searches related to event handling bring up a load of JavaScript tutorials/help for 'onclick' events etc. I have searched through the PHP documentation and found libevent (http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.libevent.php ), I don't believe that is what I require (although in all honesty the lack of documentation on it means I'm quite in the dark as to its purpose). Another potential candidate I came across was a PHP/Java bridge (http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/ ), whereby I could use the java virtual machine, register events with it and then callback PHP scripts, although this seems extremely long winded. I was hoping that someone might have some experience with this kind of issue and could point me in the right direction. I'm sure I've missed something right in front of me. Alex. I'm a noob at php myself, but what you might want to look at is cron jobs and autoresponders. Here's an address to one I've messed with before: infinite.ibasics.biz/ I believe it uses cron jobs, I've messed with a lot so it's hard to recall. You might want to have the web app insert the new info in the tables, and have the cron job and script do the rest. David

This is the full login.php script, I'm pretty sure no other portions are needed
to show at this point for the current problem:
?php
$act = $_GET['act']; //retrives the page action
if(empty($act)) //if there is no action
{
echo('form action=login.php?act=auth method=post name=loginform
id=loginform
pUsername
input type=text name=user
/p
pPassword
input type=password name=pass
/p
p
input type=submit name=Submit value=Login
/p
/form');
}
elseif($act == auth) //if our page action = auth
{
$user = $_POST['user']; //pulls the username from the form
$pw = $_POST['pass']; //pulls the pass from the form
$pass = md5($pw); //makes our password an md5
include(connect.php); //connects to our mysql database
$login = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM `userinfo` WHERE `user` = '$user' AND
`pass` = '$pass`); //selects info from our table if the row has the same user
and pass that our form does
if(!mysql_num_rows($login)) //if the username and pass are wrong
{
header(Location: login.php); //redirects to our login page
die(); //stops the page from going any further
}
else
{
setcookie(user, $user, time()+3600);//sets our user cookie
setcookie(pass, $pass, time()+3600);//sets our pass cookie
header(Location: memprar.php);//instead of yourpage.php it

The following script is supposed to validate a username and password in a mysql
db. When entering the username and password of a preregistered user, I get the
following errors:

Because basically !mysql_num_rows($login) is just if'ing the lack of a
user/pass match, else it continues to set cookie and session variables.
If I'm looking at this wrong let me know.
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide, below is the

First, please create a new email when sending to the list and don't just reply
to the last one, as those of us with email clients that group by threads get
confused when the subject line appears to change mid-thread!
On to your question, you've got an error with your query, so it will never work:
SELECT * FROM `userinfo` WHERE `user` = '$user' AND `pass` = '$pass` //
change that last back tick after $pass!
Lastly; protect your queries! That $user variable is open to injection.
Replacing it with something like $user =
mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['user']); Your $pass is protected (I believe)
because of what you're doing with the hash, but I'm not an expert in these
things, so it could be that this may not be enough.
Thanks,

Apologies for hijacking the thread, I hit reply all in a randomly picked email
and deleted the info/subject line, guess that doesn't work.
Thanks for the advice, it's almost working right, all things considered.

Problem:
All users registered through registration page, can't login/get error message.
When the password is first written to the db from the registration.php it's
assigned a unique number. The problem seems to be in aligning how it's
validated by the login.php script.
If I manually enter a new user field with the password written directly into
the phpMyAdmin, then the login accepts the manually entered user and password
at login.php and transfers to the members page.
All others get the Error: Sorry, could not log you in. Wrong login
information.
Can someone please enlighten me as to why registration.php seems to write to
the db and the login.php can read/validate from the manual input field but not
know what the key to understanding the password's uniquely generated id
assigned by the actual registration.php to the password field?
Thanks,
David
