[PHP] Dynamic array creation and tracking
Howdy guys and girls. Been a long time since I've been in these parts. My php is rusty these days, so please bare with me. I'm trying to create a dynamic, multidimensional array, and keep track of which level I'm on, opening and closing levels as needed. Lets say that I have some data like the below: Array ( [0] => Array ( [tag] => OrderFeed [type] => open [level] => 1 [attributes] => Array ( [version] => 1.0 ) [value] => - ) [1] => Array ( [tag] => Order [type] => open [level] => 2 [value] => - ) [2] => Array ( [tag] => OrderId [type] => open [level] => 3 ) [3] => Array ( [tag] => E4XOrderId [type] => complete [level] => 4 [value] => E4X0001 ) [4] => Array ( [tag] => MerchantOrderId [type] => complete [level] => 4 [value] => Mrc001 ) [5] => Array ( [tag] => MerchantOrderRef [type] => complete [level] => 4 [value] => ABCDEFGHI01 ) [6] => Array ( [tag] => OrderId [type] => close [level] => 3 ) [7] => Array ( [tag] => Order [value] => - [type] => cdata [level] => 2 ) [8] => Array ( [tag] => OrderDate [type] => open [level] => 3 ) [9] => Array ( [tag] => CreateDate [type] => complete [level] => 4 [value] => 12-03-2007 ) [10] => Array ( [tag] => ExpiryDate [type] => complete [level] => 4 [value] => 12-15-2007 ) ) I create an empty array before I start looping through this data: $newArray = array(); Now, when looping through the data, every time I encounter a 'tag' that is of the open 'type' I need to create a new array within the base array with the value of 'tag' as the index: $newArray['OrderFeed'] $newArray['OrderFeed']['Order'] $newArray['OrderFeed']['Order']['OrderID'] So on and so forth. When I get to a 'tag' that is of the 'type' complete, I need to make that a name value pair in the current level of the array: Array ( [OrderFeed] => Array ( [Order] = Array ( [OrderID] = Array ( [CreateDate] => 12-03-2007 ) ) ) ) And when I get to 'tag' of the close 'type', I need to move up one level in the array. I have tried using another array just to keep track of what level of the array I'm currently on, but I can seem to figure out how to form the master array out of it. In the above example, I would have an array with the 'OrderFeed', 'Order' and 'OrderID' as the three elements in it. If I encounter and 'open' tag, I add that value onto the end of the 'tracking' array, and when I encounter a 'close' tag, I just pop the last element off of the tracking array. So basically, I'm trying to take the values in my 'tracking' array Array ( OrderFeed, Order, OrderID ) And somehow, use them to keep track of where I am in the dynamic $newArray. I hope this makes senseI know what I want to do in my head, but I'm not sure I'm getting it out well here. Any suggestions? Questions? -- John C.

[PHP] OT - Leaving
Howdy ladies and gents: For the past 9 or so years, with one email account or another, I have been subscribed to the PHP General Mailing List. Well, life an work have succeeded in taking up all of my time, and the only thing I've been able to do with this list over the past year or so is select all the unread messages in my php folder, and hit the delete key. If I've posted 10 messages over the past year, I'd be surprised (probably why you n00bs are saying to yourself, "who the hell is this guy"). I'm just popping in now to let y'all know that I'm off to join people like John and Jason in the world of, "what ever happened to him". For those of you who give a damn ;) I can be reached at numerous email addresses, including: john nichel net jnichel by-tor com As well as the other in this email (which have already been harvested by a billion spam bots). Have fun, and I'll see ya on the other side. -- John C.

Nothing more. Plus, there's no limit or requirements as to the amount/percentage you pay yourself as compared to what amounts you apply to your "cause". So, mentioning "non-profit" to me is like saying you're just another scam -- and one, who's trolling for free php services. In the meantime, I suppose it is emblematic of my own innocence that it always surprises me when someone asks a naive question and is answered by insults and jeers in a listserve composed of bright and knowledgeable people who have purportedly come together for mutual education. The OP didn't ask a 'naive question' about why his register globals isn't working or something like that...he asked us to do his work for him. No 'mutual education' there. There may be no such thing as a stupid question, but the same cannot be said of the range of possible answers. It's naive to think there are no stupid questions. Had the original poster known enough about our field to ask for recommendations of open source solutions, would he have been treated so roughly? Nope. He didn't, by the way, ask for anything for free. He said, I unfortunately can't make it myself because I don't have the knowledge, can anyone of you do this for me? When no mention of remuneration has been made, why do you assume none will be forthcoming? Is this how you greet all prospective clients, non-profit or otherwise, who approach you asking for help? Are we to assume that this indicates your innate curiosity, your desire to gain clients, your ability to negotiate, your willingness to devote yourself to a good cause, or your capacity for politeness? If you followed the thread, you would have read that the OP got his panties in a knot when I posted him my rates for doing the job for him. On the surface you appear defend your right to be paid for your work (as though anyone had demanded otherwise!), but I would be very surprised if the OP considered for a moment hiring any self-proclaimed professional who replied so harshly to his query.

Re: [PHP] IMAP extension causing delays
Edward Kay wrote: Hello, I need PHP's IMAP extension for my web app but it is really slowing my server up. My setup: Fedora Core 5, Apache 2.2.2, PHP 5.1.4 (run as CGI with suPHP), PHP IMAP extension - all standard FC5 RPMs. The test page is simple - just a call to phpinfo(). Without the IMAP extension, the response time is almost immediate. With the IMAP extension it takes 2-3 seconds to respond - sometimes as much as 4 secs. Watching with 'top', I can see php-cgi is called immediately when the request is received. With the IMAP extension installed, after php-cgi starts, it then drops to the end of the 'top' list, consuming 0% CPU and 2.0% memory. It remains there for the 2-3 second delay before coming into play again an running the script quickly. Without the IMAP extension, it just ends quickly having finished the request. From this, it is clear to me there is some major delay being introduced by the loading of the IMAP extension. Any ideas on how to resolve this? If you don't have to, don't run it as a cgi. A /possible/ solution, and I don't even know if it's possible, is to compile two versions of the cgi; one with and one without. While I know that part is at least possible, I don't know if you can make your webserver *choose* which version of the cgi to run depending on the need. Can the cgi in PHP5 dynamically load modules? dl() is available in PHP4, but I think they got rid of it in PHP5 -- John C.

What's the simplest way to extract the FriendID and stick it in a
variable? Is there a regex that would do this?
Is it always in that format?
preg_match ( "/&friendID=(\d{5,})&/", $source, $id );
The result will be in $id[1].

The shorter the distance and fewer hops the faster those little images, stylesheets, and various other embedded media will load.

It's also more fault tolerent. I don't imagine this ever happening, but if the UK was somehow cut off from all other countries internet system, then the UK customers would still be able to access sites in the UK, but not sites outside of the UK.

The only 'sensitive' data I keep for customers to view is their order history. Credit card numbers are trashed the moment I get a response back from the cc gateway. To get to that they just need their username and password. If they want the system to 'remember' their login, I use a hash of quite a few variables that I place into a cookie on their browser.

Re: [PHP] The difference between ereg and preg?
Dave M G wrote:
PHP List,
Recently I wrote a piece of code to scrape data from an HTML page.
Part of that code deleted all the unwanted text from the very top of the
page, where it says "of a "" tag.
That code looks like this:
ereg_replace("", "", $htmlPage);
It works fine. But I noticed that on almost all the tutorial pages I
looked at, they just about always used preg_replace, and not ereg_replace.
It seemed that the main difference was that preg_replace required
forward slashes around the regular expression, like so:
preg_replace("//", "", $htmlPage);
But that didn't work, and returned an error.
You need to comment out the '!'
Since ereg was working, though, I figured I would just stick with it.
Still, I thought it worth asking:
Is there any reason why either ereg or preg would be more desirable over
the other?
Perl compatible regexs are faster* and more powerful. Course, writing a
good Perl regex is an art form in itself (probably why O'Reilly released
a book just on regexs), and takes some time (and headaches) to master
(if one ever does master it).
The difference in the people who use one or the other? Probably nothing
more than their background. Those of us who worked with Perl before php
are more than likely gravitate towards preg. Those who didn't, or had
little Perl regex experience more than likely went to the POSIX (ereg)
style as it's a bit easier to pick up.
*I'm sure there are some out there who will dispute this.

Hi Have have a varchar field in a MySQL database which contains the
following
905.362.6000"l""s"'L'
I am trying to display it on my web page in a field but all I
see is:
905.362.6000
Because it has quotes in it. I bet if you look at the source of the
page, the full value is there. If your form field looks like this...
It's going to output like this
-^
So when the browser sees the first double quote in your value, it
assumes that you're closing off the attribute.
Try running the value thru htmlentities()
I am wondering why the trailing characters do not display even though they
are present in the database when I check using PhpMyAdmin. Please help.
Thanks in advance
My code snippet is as follows:
Phone
The query_database() function is my own and looks as follows:
// smart function for querying a MySQL database
function query_database($value)
{
// Stripslashes
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$value = stripslashes($value);
}
// Quote if not a number or a numeric string
if (!is_numeric($value)) {
$value = mysql_real_escape_string($value);
}
return $value;
}
Why are you running mysql_real_escape_string() after selecting data?

I tend to clean the data on the way into the app, which has many subroutines that process the data. I've written generic functions to wrap queries to the database. So, because I don't yet have an open connection to the database when the data comes in the front door, or even when I am constructing the query, I cannot use mysql_real_escape_string to clean the data. Is there a way to essentially duplicate the mysql_real_escape_string if you already know the character set that the MySQL db is using ??? When I'm constructing a query, it doesn't make sense to open the connection just to use that function. Can I just use the depricated mysql_escape_string ? or is there maybe a sequence of addcslashes parameters that can accomplish the same thing ??? mysql_escape_string() should be fine.

Do you have to use ereg? The preg_match pattern I posted works fine.
It will return an array, first element being the whole string it

Unfortunatelly this also works for the 9393.htm file. Can somebody give me a hint why the regex also is true for text that does not start with _a infront of the number?

Re: [PHP] Session variables and words with spaces
Beauford wrote:
Hi,
I have a form in which a drop down field is populated from a MySQL database.
I am also using sessions.
The problem is this. After I submit the form the session variable only shows
the part of the input before the space.
Example: if I choose Niagra Falls from the drop down list, then I only see
Niagra when I display it.
I'm not sure though if it is the session or the forms variable that is
causing the problem. I haven't been able to find much on this.
See code below
Thanks
session_start( );
..Open database and connect to server...
Include("connect.inc");
!! Start of form !!
-- Select Province --
$query = "select pid, location from province order by location"; $results =
mysql_query($query) or $mysqlerror = mysql_error(); if ($mysqlerror) {
$dberror = "Messed Up";
include("index.php");
exit;
}
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($results)) {
if($line['pid'] == 1) {
echo ""$line['location']."\n";
}
}
I'm surprised you're not getting a parse error...
echo "" . $line['location'] .
"\n";

Re: [PHP] storing single and double quote in MySQL
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
ok. I just made one test and if you can then explain something to me:
I entered in form (textarea)
afan's "crazy" web
and stored in db using mysql-real_escape_string().
in DB, it's stored with slashes:
afan\'s \"crazy\" web
Then I pulled that from DB on three different ways:
$query = mysql_query("select test from dbtest where rec_id = 5");
$result = mysql_fetch_array($query);
echo $result['gen_value']; // gives afan\'s \"crazy\" web
echo stripslashes($result['gen_value']);// gives afan's
"crazy" web
echo htmlentities($result['gen_value']);// gives afan\'s
\"crazy\" web
if stripslashes() is not correcct to use - what then?!?
You're missing the main issue. You shouldn't have any 'escape' slashes
in your db. I'm betting your php install has magic_quotes* enabled, so
what's happening is this:
User inputs data
magic_quotes escapes that data
*you* escape the data
data is inserted into the db.
Either turn magic_quotes off or stripslashes() *before* you use
mysql_real_escape_string()
You shouldn't have to stripslashes() coming out of the db.

Re: [PHP] storing single and double quote in MySQL
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: after these very helpfull comments, I rad (again) Shiflett's (and few others) Security articles about filtering input and output. And more I read - less is clear :( Before, I used addslash() before I insert data in database and strislshe() to show them on screen. Later found it's not good and start using mysql_real_escae_string() to add to DB and stripslashe() to show on screen. If you have to stripslashes() when you pull data out of the db, you're doing something wrong (like running with magic_quotes* on, therefore double escaping your data). But, also, I thought, mysql_real_escape_string() is "filter" for everything, e.g. lets have three links (add, delete, edit) as mysql_real_escape_string() *only* escapes the data which needs to be escaped for your particular db version. Add new Edit Delete and was doing this way: #index.php it means that $action I will never store in DB, neither show on screen. I then wrong to $action = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['action']); or I should $action = htmlentities($_GET['action']); or $action = $_GET['action']; is just fine? If you're not going to display it or insert it...if all you're doing is checking the value of it, then you don't need to modify it. -- John C.

Correct way is to escape the data being put into your db with mysql_real_escape_string(), and have magic_quotes OFF. There is no need to stripslashes() when retrieving the data (and you'll end up stripping slashes that are supposed to be in the data). htmlentities() is better used for displaying data (or passing it from one page to the next), pretty useless for db entries.

Instead of cutting and pasting, RTFM and understand what your code is

If this is level four, Most of us here would be a Grand Poobah.
