Dear List -
Thank you for all your help in the past.
Here is another one
I would like to have a regex which would validate that a telephone number is
in the format xxx-xxx-.
Thanks.

You can't, phone numbers are more complex then that. You could use
\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4} to match that basic pattern for all numbers though.

Re: [PHP] Encryption/Decryption Question

And it had been generated from this code: $cipher = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_TRIPLEDES,'','cbc',''); mcrypt_generic_init($cipher, $key1, $key2); $encrypted = mcrypt_generic($cipher,$social_security_number); 4. Where $key1 and $key2 are md5() values calculated from two different security phrases. 5. Where each security phrase contains multiple non-English words. What would it take for you to break the encrypted string and decipher the social security number? Can it be done? If so, how long? And lastly, where would the best place to store these security phrases?

Re: [PHP] Quotes vs. Single Quote

Hi List.
I've mentioned before that I am both just beginning to learn PHP AND I have
inherited a number of pages that I'm trying to clean up the w3c validation on.
Something that confuses me is how the code on the page is written where in
one instance, it follows this:
echo table border='1'tr
And elsewhere on the page it follows:
echo 'table border=1tr
In what I've read and from many of the suggestions from this board, the
latter seems to be the better way to code, generally speaking.
So given that the page has javascript in it, perhaps the reason for the
previous developer switching between the two was for ease of incorporating
JS? Don't really know... but what I would like to know is it considered
poor coding switch between the two on a single page or is it perfectly
acceptable?
2nd question, in the 3 lines below:
$_SESSION['newpage'] = $newpage;
$checkstat = select field from table where fieldid = $field_id;
$result1 = @mysql_query($checkstat,$connection) or die(Couldn't execute
query);
If I were to recode in the latter style, should they not look like this:
$_SESSION['newpage'] = $newpage;
$checkstat = 'select field from table where fieldid = '.$field_id.'';
$result1 = @mysql_query($checkstat,$connection) or die('Couldn\'t execute
query');
The focus being here:
'.$field_id.'';
('Couldn\'t execute query')
Is this correct?
Thanks for the help.

Rick-
It is generally accepted that you should use single quotes whenever possible. I
only use double quotes when writing SQL queries (so I don't have to continually
escape them for the single quotes) and when I need to output control characters
like \r or \n.
It would be considered best practice to make consistent use of them, but it
wouldn't be something I would loose sleep over.

Re: [PHP] the state of the PHP community
On Jul 29, 2010, at 1:36 AM, Nathan Rixham wrote: Hi All, I find myself wondering about the state of the PHP community (and related community with a PHP focus), so, here's a bunch of questions - feel free to answer none to all of them, on list or off, or add more of your own - this isn't for anything specific, just out of interest and sure I (and everybody who reads the replies) will learn something + doors/options/contacts may come of it. The only thing I can guarantee is that I'm genuinely interested in every reply and will read every one of them + lookup every tech and link mentioned. in no particular order: What other languages and web techs do you currently use other than PHP? - if you include html or css please include version, if js then preferred libs, and whether client or server side. Java, JS (in the form of Node and MongoDB, +raw client / jQuery stuff) and PHP get used regularly. Python / Ruby infrequently. What's your previous language/tech trail? Started with QBasic and realized it was crap. Moved on to Java, realized object rock but J2EE doesn't. Moved to PHP / Java. Are you considering any new languages or techs, and if so which? - names / links http://www.mongodb.org/ http://nodejs.org/ See http://joshuakehn.com/blog/index.php/blog/view/28/MongoDB-Node-js/ Is PHP your hobby/interest, primary development language, just learning or? Primary dev, hobby, interest, all of the above? How many years have you been using PHP regularly? More then five, but it's really hard to say when it stopped being just a language and the primary. How many years have you been working with web technologies? More then eight, though I remember HTML when tables were used for everything and spacer gifs were *the* thing. Did you come from a non-web programming background? Yes, primarily Java. Is your primary role web developer or designer? Developer. I couldn't design if you paid me my weight in gold. In your developer life, are you an employer, and employee, contractor, freelancer, part of a team of equal standing members? Contractor / freelancer / employee / employer. Currently teaming up with a friend. Do you tend to work on jobs for geo-local clients, clients in the same country, or do you work internationally 'on the web'? I like to work in person, but sometimes that doesn't work. I have done international work before. How do you get your projects? do they come to you, word of mouth, do you hunt and bid for projects, code call, visit clients, target clients individually you think you can help, or? - not looking for trade secrets, just to get enough for an overall picture. Word of mouth mostly. Do you have any frustrations with the PHP community, do you find you want to talk shop but can't, or find people to work with but can't, have projects in mind you want to do but can't find people to do them with etc? Not particularly. Do you network with other PHP'ers in real life - meetups etc, do you tend to shy away, or do you find you circulate in other web related but non PHP focussed communities? I haven't gotten flashed on any PHP meetups, but I wouldn't shy away from them. Are you a member or any other web tech communities, opensource efforts, or standardization bodies - again, if so which? None that I recall. Are there any efforts, projects or initiatives which are floating your boat right now and that your watching eagerly (or getting involved with)? Node, Mongo. I'm also watching a couple git repos, memcached and scribe to name two. Some stuff I just can't be involved in (C / C++ dev is tricky when you work with Java / PHP). ps: please *do not* flame anybodies answers, that really wouldn't be fair.
