[PHP] Where To Find Resources About Programming Style (my bleedin' code is so darn ugly)
I am looking for a good manual or introduction on how to write readable,
extensible code (in any programming language). To give you an example,
this bit looks pretty darn horrible and I just don't know how to
rephrase it to make it more concise and readable:
- snip -
if ( ($var0) ( (strlen($var)==strlen(intval($var))) or
((strlen($var)-1)==strlen(intval($var))) ) ) {
do stuff;
}
- snap -
(actually, depending on how you've configured your mail reader, or how
your terminal is set, this boolean expression may acually not appear in
one line . . . which is a problem in itself)
I am not sure why, but one problem that I happen to run up against is
that I write expressions (boolean) which get very long and because you
can't split them (what with them being conditionals in if clauses) - or
can you? - they stretch off the screen which makes my code pretty much
unreadable (I noticed that good-looking code tends to stick with, like,
70 or something characters in width).
But that's just one problem.
The stuff that I do always works, but I always have difficulties
understanding it once I come back to it after a while (the fact that I
am also lazy at commenting is not the issue - it is my belief that
well-written code should be readable as well as functional).
There must be some kind of canonical text on the subject matter, just as
there are canonical texts on SQL (Codd, Celko), C (Kernigan, Ritchie),
Perl (Wall), epistemology (Kant), the laws of motion (Newton), general
relativity (Einstein), psychoanlysis (Freud) . . . you name it.

Is Compared to persistent connections, there would be no speedup; compared to non-persistent connections, yes there would - because with a connection pool you don't incur the overhead of establishing a new connection for every request, basically as with persistent connections. it because you have license issues and are only allowed a limited number of concurrent connections? No, licensing is not an issue. I use persistent connections to offset the overhead of creating a db connection in the first place, which is considered hefty if you have simple queries (it matters less with more expensive sql queries). Persistent connections are awkward because you need to configure your database server to accept the number of simultaneous connections that you actually need many times over, which is not exactly resource-friendly and may bog down a busy server. Then there's the added complication with transacations that is listed amongst the caveats with persistent connections at http://www.php3.de/manual/en/features.persistent-connections.php The transaction issue supposedly does not arise with a single-process/multithreaded/connection pooling server, presumably (never wrote any pooling code myself . . . ) because it stems from the fact that with a multiprocess server, you don't know which process will answer the next request.

[PHP] Flash XMLSocket object and the PHP socket functions
I am currently thinking about how to implement a realtime chat using the XMLSocket functionality in Macromedia Flash 5 using the PHP socket functions. Here's a quote from the Flash 5 online help: --- begin quote --- Using the XMLSocket object To use the XMLSocket object, the server computer must run a daemon that understands the protocol used by the XMLSocket object. The protocol is as follows: XML messages are sent over a full-duplex TCP/IP stream socket connection. Each XML message is a complete XML document, terminated by a zero byte. An unlimited number of XML messages can be sent and received over a single XMLSocket connection. The XMLSocket object is useful for client-server applications that require low latency, such as real-time chat systems. A traditional HTTP-based chat solution frequently polls the server and downloads new messages using an HTTP request. In contrast, an XMLSocket chat solution maintains an open connection to the server, which allows the server to immediately send incoming messages without a request from the client. Setting up a server to communicate with the XMLSocket object can be challenging. If your application does not require real-time interactivity, use the loadVariables action, or Flash's HTTP-based XML server connectivity (XML.load, XML.sendAndLoad, XML.send), instead of the XMLSocket object. To use the methods of the XMLSocket object, you must first use the constructor, new XMLSocket, to create a new XMLSocket object. --- end quote --- Does anyone have any knowledge of similar projects/attempts to create a server in PHP that would be able to talk to a client that uses the Flash 5 XMLSocket object, or would anyone care to provide some pointers to other resources about it? I've never tried to write a server, but this might solve quite a few problems that I encounter on a day-to-day basis. Http really sucks when you try to do anything vaguely more complicated than a mailto form, seeing that it is a stateless protocol . . . and Flash 5 could fill that gap for the stuff I'd like to do at least.

[PHP] No input file specified. (using PHP for shell and CGI scripting)
I am playing with PHP as a shell scripting tool and trying to use it for
CGI programming that way. This may seem kinda pointless, seeing that PHP
is _way_ more efficient when being used as an Apache module. However I
need to pass stuff from a database query to another CGI program which
is designed to take ouput from a shell command as input (I can also use
GET to directly pass arguments to this program, but that doesn't work
for larger amounts of data). The problem is this: Running a PHP script
from a shell, as in
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
?
$conn = pg_connect("dbname=mpi");
$result = pg_exec($conn, "SELECT id FROM index ORDER BY id;");
$rows = pg_numrows($result);
for ($i=0; $i$rows; $i++) {
// spit out rows etc . . . .
}
?
works fine. When I try to call the PHP script from the CGI program, I'll
always get:
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.3pl1
Content-type: text/html
No input specified.
The very same happens when I exec the PHP script from a BASH script
which normally generates correct CGI output (I am using the test-cgi
script that comes with Apache).
Just trying to run a very simple PHP script as a CGI program like
#!/usr/local/bin/php
echo "bla"
will _also_ produce the above "No input specified." message.
The http header will appear in spite of the -q parameter when exec'ing
the script from within another CGI program. When runnign the PHP script
"standalone" it will only produce "No input specified.", with or without
-q. I'm stumped. What input is PHP expecting? It behaves like any
scripting language on the command line but does weird things when http
is involved it seems.
Can anyone enlighten me?

[PHP] Persistent connections and transactions
On the PostgreSQL lists there has been some discussion recently as to the mechanism behind, benefits and drawbacks, of persistent connections. In particular a scenario similar to the following was brought up: Browser A connects to Apache child N, and calls a web page that calls a script which issues SQL commands that involve opening and committing a transaction: - begin work; - do some selects, inserts, deletes, updates . . . Now, the question is: Is it conceivable that in the meantime, whilst Browser A is waiting for the output from the script, that Browser B talks to same Apache child, uses the same persistent connection, and messes up the transaction that Browser A initiated in some unpredictable way? - do more selects, inserts, deletes, updates . . . - commit work; My guess would be that the Apache child wouldn't allow Browser B to talk to it whilst Browser A is waiting for output from the script and that that means that everything is fine and hunky-dory . . . I'm not sure though, and there is nagging trace of murkiness.

OK, lets see if we can understand what each other is saying (maybe I'm not
getting your point here).
Lets say browser A connects to the apache server, to a page using php code.
Lets say the code is OK (no bugs). Apache opens a persistent connection to
the database and starts executing the queries. Now the connection between the
apache server and the web browser doesn't close until the queries are all
finished and the output is send back to the browser.
Now, how about if browser B connects to the apache server just in the middle
of the execution of the queries that browser A asked for?
Well, the connection between Browser A and the web server is still opened, so
another httpd child process answers the request.
I thought one of the points being raised (can't find the mail/thread I'm
referring to now) was that somehow confusion might ensue from a mix-up,
on the Apache/PHP level, regarding the client identity, thus corrupting a
transaction in progress. It seemed to make sense but now that we've
discussed it, I can't see anymore how it might happen.

Ah, here we go. A post from Rod Taylor on pgsql-hackers on Dec 27:
-- begin quote --
The *real* problem with persistent connections is:
Script1: BEGIN;
Script1: UPDATE table set row = 'things';
Script2: Insert into table (id) values ('bad data');
Script1: COMMIT;
Since script2 managed to do a BAD insert in the middle of script1's
transaction, the transaction in script1 fails. Obvious solution? Don't
do
connection sharing when a transaction is enabled. The whole persistent
connection thing is only valid for mysql as it's the only thing that
doesn't
really support transactions (and even thats partially changed).
They need to look for stuff going through (keywords like BEGIN) and
'lock'
that connection to the single entity that opened it.
It's much easier to write your own. I wrote a few functions like:
get_connection('DB PARMS');
begin_transaction();
commit_transaction();
close_connection();
-- end quote --
[ . . . ]
My question would be, and seeing Adams thoughts, wouldn't it be the best
optimization configuration of php.ini to have only one persistent conection?
Wouldn't there be one per-child? Any way, you can't have two connections to
the same httpd child.
Those where my thoughts too (or, rather, Adams thoughts ;)), and this is
what I am trying at the moment.
