[PHP] [PHP-DEV] PHP 5.3.0RC4
Hello! we have packaged PHP 5.3.0RC4, which you can find here: http://downloads.php.net/johannes/ Windows binaries are available here: http://windows.php.net/qa/ This this release candidate focused on bug fixes and stability improvements and we hope to only require minimal changes ahead of the next release. Many, but not all, of the new features are already integrated in the official documentation on php.net. We aim to release PHP 5.3.0 next week. In case of critical issues we will continue producing weekly RCs. For most users there will not be a noticeable change meaning that now is the time to really do the final testing of PHP 5.3.0 before it gets released with any unnecessary incompatibilities with your project.

[PHP] PHP 5.3.0RC1
Hello! Johannes has packaged PHP 5.3.0RC1, which you can find here: http://downloads.php.net/johannes/ Windows binaries are available here: http://windows.php.net/qa/ This release candidate makes us feature complete and we hope to only require minimal changes ahead of the next release. Many, but not all, of the new features are already integrated in the official documentation on php.net. Please not that we are aware of minor issues with integer handling that we still want to fix (though most of them have also affected PHP 5.2) and a crash bug in NSAPI. Expect an RC2 in 2-3 weeks time, though for most users there will not be a noticeable change meaning that now is the time to start doing the final testing of PHP 5.3.0 before it gets released with any unnecessary incompatibilities with your project.

Hi All,
preface: Having discussed at great length previously and probably
completely misnaming and thus misleading the conversation here
goes again.
question: Would anybody else like to see, or feel the need for,
*optional* type hinting of variables and class properties in PHP?
examples (all optional, and syntax may differ):
class Example {
private TypeHint $var;
}
Example $var = new Example();
in addition the ability to type hint primatives/scalars/[type
object] in
the existing implementation:
function(bool $flag) {
}
function(object $flag) {
}
This would all be under the assumption and proviso that an
implementation would not break bc, have any markable perfomance
hit, or
in any other way effect existing applications or new applications
that
did not use the functionality (in the same way the existing type
hinting
implementation doesn't)
Any +1's?
can I give a +1 for you making a request to start a RFC on the
matter ...
I'm sure LKS will give you perms to set up one on wiki.php.net/rfc.
lukas, thoughts? [ini proposals coming in a minute, just diff'ing]
i do not determine what things are worthy of an RFC. i just handle
granting the karma to anyone who wants to write one. so just register ..

[PHP] PHP 5.3.0alpha3
Hello! Johannes has packaged PHP 5.3.0alpha3, which you can find here: http://downloads.php.net/johannes/ Windows binaries thanks to Pierre, which are available here: http://windows.php.net/qa/ Please test it carefully, and report any bugs in the bug system, but only if you have a short reproducable test case. It seems unlikely that we will be able to release a beta this year. However we currently do not plan another alpha release unless we find larger issues in the namespace changes. Please also note that the documentation for namespaces has been updated already: http://php.net/namespace regards, Johannes and Lukas

Justin Patrin wrote: I think you're confusing the issue. PEAR DB does support many databases, but it only loads the code for the ones that you are currently using. So if you're using one database it is effectively a one database API. Jakes wrote: What is performance like using this class? I've gone through the class and it just seams to be over kill, for a DB API (13 databases). Are there any time stats showing the different time in using a single DB API class to the PEAR class. Yes things are really not that bad. However expect to give up somewhere a fairly significant amount of performance. If you are using an abstraction layer you have to do it with a good reason (you need to support multiple databases mainly :-) ). Here is a benchmark John Lim came up with: http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/ It only tests MySQL though and it implements a very unrealistic scenario.

electroteque wrote: unfortunately i tried mdb and it was totally unusable and badly documented, and to port pear db over to mdb was impossible, i find pear db ok, even adodb is cool, i had to build my own class specifically just for mysql with pretty good performance as no others could. Actually it had just as much documentation as PEAR DB since a while (I will update the MDB docs with DB updates soon .. just as I will port over the improvements made to DB). Its just that MDB can do way more than DB and yes all of those advanced features havent been documented. I am not sure what you mean with unuseable. Care to enlighten me? Anyways yes I guess in alot of ways I have been somewhat foolish in this entire process. Since I did MDB few people helped me even though alot of people wanted all the nice Metabase features. At the same time I keep helping out in DB, posting patches etc. So essentially its a one way direction. I feed DB, but DB doesnt feed MDB (so I have to watch thr CVS commits to figure out if I should apply the same thing to MDB). So in the end it seems to me that I was a bit blind sided as to what people really wanted in PEAR. Appearently they prefer to stay with DB, adding things here and there to try to add the missing features. While at the same time ignoring the fact that this will make DB even slower as it is today (yes MDB is faster than DB, MDB2 even more so .. but that is another myth I was unable to combat). Well either way MDB has worked nicely for me and a few people (and will get continued support) and MDB2 works even better for me. So the effort was worth it. Just kinda annoyign getting FUD like this spread across multiple MLs. regards, Lukas Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] PDF
Hy! I have an existing pdf formular, which I have to fill up with data from a mysql database. Now, I know, that there are these pdf funktions which could do all the work. But to use these functions I needed the PDFlib. Only the 'lite PDFlib' is an open source product, and the full version espezially PDFlib+PDI or PDFlib Personalization Server (PPS) costs an amazing mount of money. So my questions, is it possible, to fill in data using the 'lite PDFlib' in an existing pdf form? And if not, are there any other possibillities than to buy 'PDFlib+PDI' or 'PDFlib Personalization Server (PPS)' to do so?

[PHP] RE: [PEAR-DEV] New Metabase Aniversary release
Hi, so for all who care: I will begin pearifying Metabase starting next week. Obviously this will take a fair amount of time. Also I am fairly busy with work so any help is greatly appreciated. This is also my first stab at reworking such a huge amount of code that was originally written by someone else. I am quite optimistic that it will work out though (with the megabytes of code my companies framework fills sometimes that code feels alien too :-) ) and I am allready quite aqainted with the Metabase code. I am not very experienced with PEAR DB code though so it is very important for people to tell me what features are missing from Metabase that are included in PEAR now. I also would like to hear where people think the issues will be (and possibly how to solve them). Aside from the fact that the Metabase class is not derived from the PEAR core class there are a couple of things, like being able to retrieve and associative array from a result set, missing from Metabase. The goal is to have a DB abstraction layer based on Metabase with a PEAR DB API. The outcome will be compatible with both Metabase and PEAR DB where necessary through a wrapper class. I also would like to hear if anyone uses Metabase with using the API in metabase_interface.php .. if there are not many people using it then all then I can safely modify the method names and parameters orders in the new DB class and make the same changes to metabase_interface.php. I guess after getting a good idea where the problem zones are and not what features are missing I will first attempt to get a pearified version of Metabase along with the MySQL driver working. I will first focus on the functional aspects, then step by step making the necessary changes to make that final code compliant to the PEAR coding standard. FYI: there has been a lot of discussion about this project in the last couple months (especially december irrc) on the pear-dev mailinglist. So some questions might allready be answered there.

[PHP] Re: Dated/Timed actions
Stephane, One possibilety is to have a script which does the sending - checking against a db to see what to send out, having it called periodically from a cron job. I have built a (very) simple little daemon for doing jobs like this, it works similarly to cron except it is easier to programmaticly add and remove jobs. It also works on a linear time idea, rather than periodic like cron, so you can ask it to schedule a job a specific time offset from now, or at an absolute time (like cron). This is part of a package i've been working on for a while for defining managing processes like you describe below.

Kunal, Looking at the referer header will tell you the page they came from, looking at the querystring typically of this address will normally give you an indication of the keywords or categories which they were using. ie, http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=using+xsl+in+jsp+pages http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=using+xsl+in+jsp+pageshc=0hs=0 This would be the referrer page, you could then parse out the 'q' parameter for google, or the 'p' one for Yahoo! for keywords.

[PHP] private functions
Hello,
Sorry, i posted this to my local newsfeed a while ago but i don't think it
is propogating properly, however i apologise if this appears twice.

i've been using private functions like the code below a little, and just
discovered that if you call the outside function more than once you get an
error. Apparently it doesn't like redeclaring the inside function the second
time you call the outside function... this seems strange to me.
Any help would be appreciated.
?
function foo(){
function private_to_foo(){
echo(this is private to foo\n);
}
// call my private function
echo(Hello, calling my private function\n);
private_to_foo();
}
// call our function
echo(About to call foo\n);
foo();
// if you call it again it dies
foo();
