Re: [PHP] Suggestions for class design
From what I understand is you need a data objects class. Use a generic class such as PEAR's DB_DataObject (http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject). All you have to do is give the table name and the class for example would be in our case DB_DataObject_Customer And then querying the table would be in a line such as [code] $customer_data=new DB_DataObject_Customer(); $customer-get, -insert,-find, -update and the other goodies given that you supply the right parameters.

Re: [PHP] Re: dynamically selecting a function
hmm, there is an intresting way that AFAIK only exists in PHP which is the
variable variable and variable function.
That is you could have a string to be a function name and then make the call
with it in the following manner:
$step=1;
$func_const_name=step;
$dyn_func=$func_const_name.$step;
and then the function call would look like
$dyn_func(); // which would result in step1();
How about that? isnt it so beautiful? God Bless ZEND

Hi there,
How can I do something like this:
[snip - theoretical code] if( isset($step) ) echo step.$step() ) [/snip]
$step would be an int (I would check that before) and then I would have
all
sorts of functions like step1(), step2() . etc.
Any ideas?
Thomas
What about switch / case?
switch($step) {
case 1:
step1();
break;
case 2:
step2();
break;
default:
defaultStep();
break;
}
i thought that would be too easy ;-)

Re: [PHP] Inherit Methods
*parent* keyword does not belong to PHP5 !!! It's there in PHP4 as well!

Hi !
you have to defined protected $var.
This is a example where php5 OO model has a little ambiguities.
Thing a few in your problem !, on de child class scope $var it's
private then when yo execute printVar(), you aren't executed on parent
scope you are calling a copie on child scope, then you don't have
access to $var. Only when you use parent scope throw
parent::printVar() , you realy calling the parent class instance into
your child then print result.
Then when you want to have a variable for being used on a public
inherit method you have to defined protected
On 8/8/05, Norbert Wenzel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Is it possible to run inherited methods in the scope of the child class?
In my case I have an abstract class called 'Company' and some child
classes. There is a non abstract function in 'Company' which prints
'$this-phoneList'. That function should be the same to all child
classes, without rewritting it in every class.
I call the printing method via the child class like
$childObject-printPhoneList();
The call seems to be handed over to the parent class 'Company' which is
fine. But the $this points to the phoneList of the abstract parent
class. So the phoneList in the abstract class seems to be unset, since i
have set the phone list in the child class.
Here's a short example, showing what I mean:
?php
abstract class AbstractClass {
private $var;
public function printVar() {
echo('var: ' . $this-var . 'br');
}
}
class ConcreteClass extends AbstractClass {
public function __construct($var) {
$this-var = $var;
}
public function printVarChild() {
echo('var (child): ' . $this-var . 'br');
}
}
$cl = new ConcreteClass(15);
$cl-printVar();
$cl-printVarChild();
?
Output is:
var:
var (child): 15
Has anyone an idea how to print the $var of the child, without copying
the method in every child class?
thanks in advance,
Norbert

Re: [PHP] parallel execution of php code?
Check if you're using MySQL 4.1. If Yes use the subquery functionality.
So you could have your query as following:
Insert into sometable where not id=NULL and id=Select id from mytable where
bla like 'some pattern';
Not really sure if it would work thogh. Havent tried it yet.

And can I add something like a critical section or semaphore to
overcome this problem.
The problem with the approach above is that a race condition exists
between the
check for the existence of the row in question, and the insertion of that
row. It's
possible that the two requests can come so close together that both of
them execute
their selects before either do their inserts. It's not very likely in the
simplest
cases, but as the amount of traffic (or the number of users you have who
like to
quickly click refresh) increases there is a greater chance that this race
condition
will cause a problem.
In my opinion it's best to let your RDBMS handle this concurrency problem,
since
it's best equipped to do that. Ideally you would be using some sort of
constraint
to prevent duplicate rows in your table...whether this is a primary key,
unique
index, foreign key, etc. Inserting a duplicate row should result in an
error from
the database. In that case you can trap for the error in your PHP code
(using
functions like mysql_error()) and handle it appropriately (for example,
displaying a
friendly error message, or simply ignoring the query).
Another approach would be to start a transaction with a high isolation
level before
executing the select, but to me this is less desirable because depending
on your
database system it may cause contention problems if the entire table has
to be
locked. Simply attempting the insert and catching the error should be much
lighter,
assuming it's possible to create the appropriate constraint in your
database.

In general, anyone could then say oh .Net framework, Java framework, CPAN, or then any other full blown frameworks bloated! I believe these kind of posts would not effect noone but it might create a bad perception for the net/platform voyagers! Every framework, be it based on a language or an environment has a flexibility level that could satisfy some segment of programmers, and thus keeping some segments unhappy. It's a matter of prefrence and the kind of functionalities and repositories that a programmer or a team might need. However, a general adjective can not be given just like that without any specification of the matter and why it is said it is in our case Bloated. In all the cases if someone thinks a framework is bloated. Should just keep it bloated for him/herself. Programmers, and specially PHP programmers who are the majority of web-programming in IT labor market. So being it bloated for someone or perceived to be bloated has no meaning for some other programmers, unless having the same needs and environment. It's simply a matter of prefrence. Period.

could be done. The most promising is the code below. However, all that
happens is that outlook.exe is started on the server, but nothing is

I am running PHP 4.0.18 on Windows 2003 server and I have Outlook 2002
installed on the server.
Does anybody know why it doesn't work?

Re: [PHP] SMarty and commercial php (a little 0t)
I'd recommand you to use the HTML_TEMPLATE_IT. It's a PEAR class for templating; I've personaly worked on it for building skinnable applications in which users and admins can change the look of the pages. Bottom line, it's a PEAR library/extension so no hastle since most of the hosts include it in their PHP installations. This template does alot of handy jobs such as nested blocks templating and rendering. However, it does not have the bells and the whistles of Smarty. Simply it does the job, it's efficient, and very elegant since your HTML templates would have only 2 extra stuff. One which is the HTML style comments to define and close blocks and the, Two which is the variable names to be placed whithin curly braces. So templating does not realy have a language in IT it's just a ditributed method of writing HTML and feeding data which forms another Tier in your application not another Application by itself. Benefits you'll get by using this PEAR library/extension is that you wouldnt need to tutor the designers on how to use a procedural markup templating language hence more flexibility and shorter learning curve. And plus it does not need no configuration and you could write your own nice wrapper classes to do special things for you, such as rendering pages templates, or blockwise template files with predefined variable to be inserted in the template files simple as that. e.g. you could write a function or a class method to route template files and then only pass them an array and the function would do the whole thing from rendering to displaying. especialy if you use the Web Standards and Semantic Design skinning would mean only switching CSSs and slight changes in your structural markup(template files). Note: If by any change your ISP/Host does not have the PEAR package installed you could just put it in a directory and simply append it to your include_dir directive so that you could include/require the class file (only 1 file is the whole package) directly w/o routing to its location. I'd honestly never implement Smarty for an application I'd work alone on and then give it up to designers I'd use Smarty while working with team mates of the same range of understanding of the Web Dev/ Design in a team environment for better performance and that's only if the application screens are more than 100 and the administration.

Re: [PHP] Re: A couple questions about templating
What is the purpose of your templating system? And what does it solve? These questions are the ones I'd ask myself if I was creating one. However, there are a lot of them out there so does your templating system solve a problem and is a solution? or just yet another templating class? As its well known templates are made for several reasons such as separating server-side and client-code, separating designers and developers work in team environment, theme able and multy layout and language systems... and a lot more that could me mentioned. I've personally used the HTML_Template_IT package from pear along with Smarty. And now I'm back to normal HTML including for small projects that have a short life cycle, for longer life cycle projects I'd use the IT package. Will never use smarty again; it just makes another layer in the programming not in the system in other words, it becomes another language to add to your programming instead of being a component/tier though it provides much more flexibility than the any other package available. There are a number of articles on Templating I've selected a very criticizing article to share that lives at www.phppatterns.comhttp://www.phppatterns.com. I so much agree with him. At the same time I see a big need for templating. Here is the link to the article. http://phppatterns.com/index.php/article/articleview/4/1/1/ Hope that helps.

I've been programming PHP for five years now, and there's very little I can't do with it.

Re: [PHP] radio buttons in $_POST
That's because Radio Buttons and Check Boxes do not return anything if not
checked or selected.
So you gotta explicitly do it ur self. That is u gotta check for it's
validity and non-empiness.
e.g. in ur scenario
if(!isset($_POST['radio_test'])) { //print out all the options unselected }
else
{ // print the value and show the rest empty in the report }

Re: [PHP] reverse MD5 ???
It's simple.
If your system supports it performance wise.
Grab the id and compare it against the md5 version of the id saved in the
cookie.
if( $_COOKIE['id'])== md5($id))
{
//.. then allow or let the user to do something
}
that's if you have the id already known. otherwise if you donno the id you
gotta grab all the ids and md5 them and then compare them against the one
stored in the cookie; which I dont recommand and is realy a stupid thing to
do.

Any information that you wouldn't want in the script in plain text, you

In the general case, no reasonable amount of processing time will
reverse it since (AFAIK) you have to brute force test all possible
values, though for very short text it can sometimes be done, and there
are online databases out there.
For the OP, this is part of what it means to use a hash or digest (MD =
message digest) as opposed to an encrypted value. The conversion
from the original text to the hash is one-way and as a general rule
cannot be reversed except by trying every possibility for the original
text, which becomes an astronomical task with even very small text
lengths. For example, for text using a-Z, A-Z, and 0-9, there are 218
trillion possible 8-character values (62 ^ 8) and 839 quadrillion
possible 10-character values.
Imagine MD5 (this is a very crude analogy) as taking a letter, tearing
it up into tiny pieces, rearranging them according to some complex
predefined algorithm, then selecting a hundred or so pieces with
individual letters on them and putting those together as a code, and
burning the rest. There is no way you can reproduce the letter from
the code, except in the limited case where the letter is very short and
your code actually incorporates all the pieces.
I believe the places where MD5 can be broken by brute force are where
common words or phrases are used -- then it is possible to create a
database of possibilities and their MD5 hashes and the database lookup
is then quite fast. For example this allows people who have the MD5
hash of a password to break short, common words used as passwords very
easily. But if the MD5 value is not there, you are still stuck. For
the example above (10-character values using A-Z, a-z, and 0-9) if my
calculations are correct it would take about 32 million gigabytes to
store those 839 quadrillion values and their matching MD5 digests in a
database, not counting indexing (which adds to this) nor compression
and other optimization (which could reduce it).
I am not talking about general security here and saying it is OK to
expose the MD5 values, just looking at the difficulty of reversing
them.

I kindda agree with you Jochem! that's one of the reasons where PHP beats others in performance. Richard Lynch said: Just throw them in a database. It's a 10-line two-function PHP script you can write in 10 minutes. Why would you want somebody else to do that for you? ?!

If width and height are provided, the surfing is done as if the browser window were the provided width and height, and the result is then scaled to fit into image. Example: ?php $image = imagecreatetruecolor(800, 600); imagesurfto($image, 'http://php.net'); header(Content-type: image/jpeg); imagejpeg($image); ? This displays what a user would see surfing to the PHP home page, if their browser window was open to 800x600. ?php $image = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 300); imagesurfto($image, 'http://php.net'); header(Content-type: image/jpeg); imagejpeg($image); ?

This could be useful in sites that allow administrators maintain a Links Page semi-automatically. It could be particularly useful these days now that domain squatters and speculators are taking over every expired domain and throwing a bunch of advertisement/pay-per-click links on them. Just checking that a link is valid is no longer Good Enough to know that you are linking to what you want to link to. But that's only one portion of the problem I want to address, so keeping an eye on domain expiration records would solve this case, but not the more general issue. And, of course, if you somehow magically allowed another optional argument of which browser to use... Wow! I could visually compare side-by-side the images of what my layout looks like on all the browsers? Sign me up! Okay, so this is probably NOT do-able. But the rest doesn't seem like it should be that tricky... Hm. Does a frame allow a scaling factor? Might actually make me want to use frames [shudder] if they do.

Better use

No. But you can use func_num_args() to decide how many arguments the
constructor (or any other function) was called with, and then make your
decisions.
class Foo
{
public function __construct ()
{
if (func_num_args() 2) {
$this-one(func_get_args());
} else {
$this-two(func_get_args());
}
}
protected function one ($args)
{
// foo
}
protected function two ($args)
{
// bar
}

Re: [PHP] Strange Array Error

Hi,
I have been trying for the past two hours to understand why I get an error
with the following code:

$test_array[] = array();

/*Your statement adds an array to the current+1 position of the
array since you've put the [] after the variable the PHP interpreter
initializes it as an array type of variable so it takes that action*/
$i = 0;
while($i 7){
$test_array[$i] += $i;
echo '$day_total[$i] = '.$day_total[$i].'br';
// Change the single quotes to double quotes
// i.e. echo {$day_total[$i]}={$day_total[$i]}br /;
// Add ++$i; here
}
?
Notes: -Always use double quotes if you want to concatanate vars with strings.
-Whe ur using arrays in ur strings that is to be
concatenated delimit the array by { and }.
-Take a look at sprintf function to better format strings in
case ur familiar with C coding style.
-Sometimes googling might not help nor PHP.net. So, the PHP
manual is ur friend. e.g you could go to Array section in PHP manual
and find out what's up :)
Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in

I am trying to create a loop where $i is added to array element $i, and
can't find any information relating to this on google or php.net...
Thanks for your advice.

Re: [PHP] refresh page automaticly on PHP
or u can use this method from JS You could refresh the page in various ways 1- make a rerequest to the server to give u the same page again: using the PHP Header function. 2-using the html Header refresh tag 3-Java Script to reload the document Since the 1st and 2nd methods are discussed in the earlier posts I'll show another way of doing it by Javascript. This is useful if you're using a templated based markup rendering to replace ur Head JS tags or Body JS tags. Javascript redirection and reloading is done as the following: -if u want to reload the page after showing the page write this in body tag CODE echo script type=\text/javascript\ location.reload();/script; /CODE -if u want to reload the page the moment the page is requested then do this in the head tag CODE echo script type=\text/javascript\ window.onload = location.reload(); /script; /CODE Hope this is usefull.
