Yes, the HTTP client class follows the same logic but has a variable named force_multipart_form_post that you can set to make it send multipart form posts as if you were submitting a form with an empty file input. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You cannot send 8 bit characters in e-mail. For headers you need to use q-encoding to make your non-ASCIIC characters be represented with only ASCII characters. If you are not sure on how to encode message headers with q-encoding, you may want to try this MIME message class.

I think that part of the problem here is that those so called ORM solutions are in reality ROM because they depart from the relational data model to the object model. Since they do that dynamically, even when they cache the results of reverse engineer the object model from the database table structure, there is always some overhead reading class structures from cache and rebuilding objects. This article talks precisely about that problem. http://www.phpclasses.org/blog/post/82-PHP-ObjectRelational-Mapping-ORM-or-ROM.html Personally I use a code generation based solution named Metastorage. It lets me defined my object models statically and then it generates efficient code for the classes that store and retrieve the application data objects. http://www.metastorage.net/ This allows more flexibility and productivity than most ActiveRecord based approaches, as it supports complex object models with relationships, validation rules, etc.. Then Metastorage generates smart code that only does what you need. There are no fat base classes to extend, nor ORM runtime libraries to include. The generated code is self-contained, i.e. it does all that is necessary without runtime libraries to add overhead to the execution of the applications. In cases that it is not necessary to use persistent objects (because the objects are not going to be changed), like for instance listing data or sending newsletters, Metastorage provides the concept of report classes, i.e. classes that just retrieve data for read-only purposes. It is much more efficient than using whole persistent objects because it only retrieves the object variables that you need into arrays. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I am not sure if that conclusion is correct. Were the benchmarks done using a PHP cache extension? If not, the results may just show that Cake includes more code probably because it is more mature than others that are younger. What happens is that PHP code is compiled in zend opcode before executing. The more code split in include files you load, more time it spends loading the code before executing. When you use a PHP cache extension, the compile phase is skipped and replaced by loading compiled PHP code from cache. So most of the time is taken actually by executing the code. Therefore using the PHP cache extension may give more useful results to compare framework execution overhead. > i also like how rasmus shows several advanced optimization techniques, via > strace and gdb. ive not used the 'included' extension, ill probly check it > out. you know some of us yougin's never really got too much pratical > exposure to tools like that =/ im still ramping up on these low level > utilities myself. Those may not be the best tools to tell you what PHP code is taking more time to execute, as they only show system calls. There are PHP profiler extension that give you a better vision of the actual PHP code that may be slowing down things. strace is more useful for PHP core developers as it tells which system calls are more expensive and could be worth some optimization. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Personally I do no use MVC frameworks (nor I have developed one) because they just add unnecessary complexity. However, separating concerns (processing, presentation, model data storage, distributed services, etc...) is a good thing to help keeping the project organization (and your mental sanity) as you project grows. You can separate concerns without using MVC, especial front controllers that go through many hops to sort which code to execute. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I would not say there is bias against frameworks, but rather that there is no consensual around a specific framework. Some people prefer one framework, other people prefer others. Some people prefer relying on code written by themselves, others prefer using ready to code provided by others. One thing is certain, if you adopt a framework, you need to invest time learning how to use it. Some frameworks are not easy to learn and you end up spending more time than you wanted. Here is a longer reflection about using frameworks in PHP: http://www.phpclasses.org/blog/post/52-Recommended-PHP-frameworks.html > So, currently I'm wondering about things like, 'Do I make an app that is a > distinct page-per-function, or do I make an app that uses a monolithic > index.php (similar to Wordpress?) and dynamically presents > *everything*based on querystring values.' Personally I prefer to separate in different pages. It helps making things more organized. To sort out things that are more organized, some people use frameworks to help parsing URL parameters and route requests to different application modules. If you separate things, you do not need to build or learn any framework to handle things separately. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It does not mean that this is necessarily the best Web development methodology, nor that you could not use another methodology that you may prefer. It is a methodology that I have been using for developing PHP Web applications with very satisfactory productivity results. I have been using it since 1999, when Object Oriented Programming support was added to PHP 3. Over time, it has been refined to address better the real world needs of sites of growing complexity. This methodology has been used extensively to develop busy sites like the PHPClasses repository. Therefore, it has proven to be suitable to develop enterprise grade Web applications. It does not impose excessively complex development procedures. So, it is also suitable for developing small Web applications. You may want to read this document that explains what are use cases in the scope of a well structured project and the methodology that describes how map use cases to PHP code for Web applications. http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage-example.html -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This is a frequent problem. You may want to take a look at this forms generation class that comes with plug-in named linked select that achieves precisely what you want. http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration It can link 2 or more select inputs, without chaining limits. It can switch to alternative set of options for one select when the previous input value changes. The alternative option sets may be defined statically, but there variants of this plug-in to fetch options from MySQL databases or any other database supported by Metabase or PEAR::MDB2 database abstraction layers.

Re: [PHP] Re: Individual bulk e-mails - performance question
Hello, on 08/30/2008 10:40 PM Diogo Neves said the following: Well, I agree that sending it by an external process more specialized in sending emails can be faster and more eficient, but it's harder to control... sometimes you need to know in your php if email was really sent and do something, and while I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm sure it's a little more complicated... Knowing whether the message was successfully delivered or not, is something that you often will not know. Nowadays many SMTP servers use grey listing. This means that first the server says it cannot accept the message temporarily, but it will accept after several minutes. Even if the server accepts the message immediately, he may bounce or discard it later. So it is utopic to expect any reliable answer about the deliverability of a message. It is better not rely your software on the accuracy of any response from the remote server. In any case, for really urgent messages, the MIME message class can use the SMTP driver to deliver messages directly to the remote SMTP server bypasing the local mail server. If it fails the delivery, you should relay it to the local mail server to retry deliverying it later. Take a look at the test_urgent_mail.php script for an example: http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage Yet, if sending email don't need to be tracked, then external tool world possible be better... Anyway, don't ask me how to do that, I'm more confortable doing things in PHP :) PHP is very efficient if you use it in a smart way. For instance, you can cache message bodies using the MIME message above to avoid message composition overhead. As for the actual SMTP delivery, the network connection and TCP data exchanging is usually so slow that any overhead of PHP script execution is meaningless. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Individual bulk e-mails - performance question
Hello, on 08/30/2008 02:40 PM Merlin said the following: I am running a travel community where users want to get informed on changes inside different groups they have subscribed to. At the moment I am doing this with a for loop that generates an individual e-mail sent to them via phpmailer. That works, however the submit of the content upload form (that triggers the e-mail notification) now takes several seconds, as more and more users subscribe. I am thinking about placing the info on the individual e-mail inside a ascii txt file that will be read by a cron job which will send the e-mail instead. Something like every 5 minutes reading it line by line and then after sending it removing the line. e.g: for:[EMAIL PROTECTED]; body:individual for:[EMAIL PROTECTED]; body:other email Does this sound like a plan? Or do you believe that there are better ways doing it? I could imagine that I would run into problems a few months from now if for example the cron job will be triggered a second time, while the first one has not finished. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you for any help. While it is a good idea to off-load e-mail delivery to a script run from cron, it seems odd that each mail takes several seconds to deliver. I suspect that you sending messages in a less efficient way. Maybe you are queueing messages using SMTP (which is the slowest way to queue messages) or you are using sendmail on your system and it is configured by default to attempt to deliver the messages immediately, making your PHP script hang while the message is not accepted by the remote server. There are much better ways to do it by just telling the mail system to queue the messages without holding on the PHP script. On the other hand, if the time it takes build your messages but the messages have the same contents for all the receipients, you can also use some good e-mail components with caching support. In that case, I recommend that you use for instance this MIME message class that provides message body caching support, so you can send messages to different receipients and cache the building of message body parts and avoid overhead when sending to a new receipient. It also provides different means to send messages and solve the overhead of message delivery by forcing the messages to queue by your local and be delivered later whenever possible, so your PHP script is freed to send messages to other recipients. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hello, on 08/11/2008 09:26 AM Angelo Zanetti said the following: Hi All, I have a question related to newsletter subscriptions to websites as well as sending out of the newsletters. Here is the scenario: Client wants a "subscribe to newsletter" dialog on website, typically just an email address. Then in his admin section he wants to send out HTML newsletters/plain text depending on the user's email client. Now how would I go about creating the newsletter in the backend? Using a WSIWIG editor? Or is there some code that you guys use as there are also things to consider such as: -bulk mailing, instead of sending many mails at once. Rather send out some scheduled emails -Plain text vs HTML email Etc... What do you guys use if you are building a custom web app? I just use this MIME message class. It solves the problem of sending HTML or plain text messages using multipart/alternative containers. You define a text and HTML version and the class sends both within the message in such way that if the mail client supports HTML the user will see that version, otherwise it will only see the text version.

When the first drop-down list is changed, I call a PHP script sing AJAX to populate the second list. I also need to perform another task when the second list is changed but it seems not to work. I think this is because even though my AJAX script populates the second drop-down list using pure PHP code, the second drop-down isn't aware of it.

I was > wondering if anyone could share their approach on how they structure these > actions? Ideally, > I would like to separate each action in separate functions. Thanks in > advance... I recommend a couple of things as crucial points to do proper forms processing without inconviniences: 1. Present and process the forms with the same script. If the user submits the form with invalid fields, you just use the same code in the script to present the form again marking invalid fields. 2. Never output anything before presenting, validating and processing the forms. If you start outputting any page data or even issue response headers, you may not change the course of your script action later in case there were validation errors or unexpected form processing errors (like for instance database access failures). Personally I use this popular forms validation class. http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration It separates the forms handling in several steps like you want: 1. Define the input field types, initial values and validation rules 2. Load and filter any form submitted field values 3. Validate the loaded field values 4. Retrieve filtered and validated field values for form processing by the application 5. Output the form if it is being presented for the first time or if it has validation errors. It can use either HTML mixed with PHP, or Smarty templates, or automatic layout plug-ins also available for this forms class. Here you may watch a tutorial video that explains this approach with a step by step fluxogram that makes it very clear: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/video/1/package/1/section/usage.html This class is very mature. It is being developed since 1999 and is very popular. Actually you could call it a framework because it comes with many plug-ins for implementing sophisticated features such as AJAX form submission, paged layouts, interconnected inputs, form page animation, etc..

[PHP] pg_update and PGSQL_DML_STRING
Hello,
The option PGSQL_DML_STRING doesn't work with pg_update to me. I try
the same option with pg_insert and it worked as I expected, but with
pg_update I can't see the query and it is executed.
I have an error in the query and I need to debug, so watch it is
imperative.
Anybody can help me to know what I need to do to be able to debug the
query?
Thanks in advance.
CODE AND RESULT AT THE BROWSER:
function Update_internal($taula, $elements, $id, $dieonerror=true, $format_date=true) {
$link = Conectar();
pg_query($link, 'SET DateStyle TO ISO');

$elements[$k]=stripslashes($elements[$k]);
if ($format_date && $elements[$k]) {
if (preg_match('/^(\d{1,2})[-\/\.](\d{1,2})[-\/\.](\d{4})$/', $elements[$k], $match))
$elements[$k]=$match[3].'/'.$match[2].'/'.$match[1];
}
}
$aux = "Update Internal en $taula\n" . print_r($elements,true) . "\nfor ID=$id\n";

I suspect that you are giving a very short timeout but then you are not
handling the timeout error properly.
Anyway, before reinventing the wheel, you may to try this HTTP client
class that supports many options including establishing SSL corrections
and setting and handling timeouts correctly.

Re: [PHP] PHP debugger
Iep,
First of all, thank you verfy much to take a moment to check the
scripts, I really appreciate.
About your idea to have only one script that call to the appropiate
command using a switch, I agree, but since I am new here and I am the
only computing guy, I don't have time to restructure the code. I saw
also other code in the Intranet where I'd have done in a different way
easier to maintain, I think, but I have to make this to work and
apparently I don't think reestructuring the code will solve the
problem, at least in a way that i can understand why the script doesn't
want to run now. Also, the process to build the query and connect to
the registar are different in each case, so maybe it is the reason why
who who implemented this whois webapp has done like this.
If you want to check the site I am trying to fix and have a whole idea
it is at http://whois.ubilibet.com, if you check the tool, the ES
domains has no result at the site. I write to the log the command
construction, copy and paste at the command line at it works.
By other hand your note about the default option I ddin't realise, I am
going to check, but I feel very confused why the command I pass in the
script to the passthru function, is executed from command line with no
error and giving the right result. That's why I focused the problem in
the PHP script.
Thank you very much human debugger :)

case 'edu.es';
case 'gob.es';
$cmd = HTTP://www.myCool.es/?query="$nom.$ext";

instead of calling out to a different script?
Also, I noticed that in your script where you have "default:" in your
switch, you have a : instead of a ;
May be causing some grief :)

Since I deduced there are different whoises scripts because the way to

is to an organization, ESNIC, (eu) query is to another organization,
EURID and for the rest it is executed just the *NIX whois command.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
In my whois web-app, when a EU doamin is queried, whois.pl perl script
is lunched and I got the right result to my PHP script I the result is
shown at the web.
If I do the query to a ES domain, other whois.pl script is lunched, but
passthru doesn't execute it.
Both scripts are almost the same, they are in the same file structure,
same machine, same permissions...
Have you tried to use a program to compare the files? Make sure that
only the necessary lines are different?
The most strange is that I logged the command petition and If I copy
and paste exaclty the same that is passed to passthru, the command for
the whois to ESNIC is executed in the command line and shows the
result.
Collegues told me to check the ENV, permissions, and so on, I did with
no results, also, the other perl script that is almost the same is
executed, so I feel very very lost.
Three files attached:
whois_es.pl -> perl script to query whois in ESNIC
whois_eu.pl -> perl script to query whois in EURID
container.php -> intermediate page where the commands are build
and passthru is executed.
Is there any particular reason you are using different perl scripts
instead of a simple whois script for all of them?

I think the safest way is to setup a POP3 mailbox to receive the bouncing messages and then use POP3 client class like this to fetch and process the bounced messages one by one. http://www.phpclasses.org/pop3class The MIME parser class can parse messages passed as strings or from files. The POP3 class provides a stream wrapper that allows PHP to treat messages in a POP3 mailbox as if they were real files. This way you can connect the POP3 class directly to the MIME parser class. Take a look at the parse_message.php script for an example of this. The MIME parse class has a Decode function to parse the message, and the Analyze function to tell which kind of message is what you have passed and eventual parameters related to that type of message. In the case of the bounces returned as message/delivery-status, the MIME parse returns the boucing addresses and associated bouncing reasons. Take a look at the test_message_decoder.php example script to see it in action. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This forms generation class comes with a plug-in that does exactly that. http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration It requires some Javascript to send AJAX request to the server, so the plug-in itself queries the database and sends the select input options o the browser.

I agree with Richard, sending the messages as plain text may reduce your chances of having your messages confused with spam. But even plain text messages can be confused of spam often for not being well-formed according to e-mail standards. It is hard to tell what you may be doing wrong without seeing your code.

This class can compose messages which can be delivered by different drivers, like the mail() function, SMTP client, qmail, sendmail, etc. If you can't use the mail function, you can still send message relaying them through an SMTP server, like for instance Gmail's. > I was asking how to have the right character set translation so the data > stored in the table show no grimmerish in the outlook window. > > A simple mailto link in the page with some basic content defined does the > trick but the data retrieved from the table can look awsome in the mail > client before the user sends it back to the owner email address. > > I'm making a site for myself.

You should not send 8 bit data in your messages without proper quoted printable encoding. Also you need to specify the character set of text you are sending. You may want to try this MIME message composing and sending class that supports quoted printable encoding with any character set either in the text and in the message body.

Hi, talking about Shopping Carts I am looking for one thats good but that it is also flexible when you need custom designs and extesibility. I've had experience with osCommerce and their designs are very rigid. It works out of the box but as soon as you need to customize design it's PITA cause you have to fight with all those tables they use for the layout. I've seen that Zen Cart gives you more freedom with respect to designs without loosing features which makes it a good choice, anyway before I choose myself I would like to hear what you guys have to say about it or any alternatives you know about, my primary goal is flexibility.

Be careful. Do not send HTML only messages or else some mail systems
(notably Hotmail for instance) will discard your messages as if they
were spam.
The right solution to send HTML messages is to use multipart/alternative
messages so you can specify an alternative text to show in mail clients
that do not support HTML messages.
It is a bit more complex solution, but if you want all people to get
your message, it is necessary. To simplify the problem you may want to
use a ready to use PHP component that can compose multipart/alternative
messages. I use this popular MIME message composing class. Try the
test_simple_html_mail_message example script for instance.

Maybe I should use a simple ob_start() in this case. I understand
ob_start()-ob_end_flush() collects data in a server buffer and outputs
it all together but in the case of my script the only output is the
file I am uploading and the output is only in th echo $contents.
Unless I am missing details of ob_start() wouldn't this be equivalent
in this case?

[PHP] PHP cuts download process prematurely
I am building a report application that generates some text files for download and when the download starts it stops prematurely. The file sizes are currently in the order of the mega bytes and when I try the script that generates and sends the file in a test server the process goes smoothly no matter the size of the file but as soon as I move the script to the production server dowloads cut at 300kb aprox. My current workarround is to gzip the files and that is giving me some extra time but the files are growing and sooner or later my workarround will become useless. I guess the download is stoped by some timeout and not because of the amount of kb downloaded because the size varies slightly. If that timeout exists it should be of apox. 5-10 seconds. I use this function to perform the upload $contenido is the content of the file and to that variable I assign the big chunk of output from the report, $nombre_archivo is the optional name for the file. I can paste more code but I think the problem is here. Thanks in advance Manuel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Set PHP session expire to 2 months
Hi, I'm working on a site that needs that once the user chooses his country the question should not be asked again (while the user doesn't manually delete the cookies in his browser).

If the user tries to enter the site once again and the session variable is still set the question is not asked again as it is supposed to happen. The session data is configured to last for aprox. 2 months and it works in the browsers I've tried it but still I receive reports of users who are constantly being asked for their countries they also told me they don't have cookies blocked. Below I paste the code I am using inside index.php to test if the session is set: Can someone see something wrong with this?

I am not sure if you can or cannot use SMTP with TLS. In any case, you may use this popular MIME message composing and sending class that comes with several alternative delivery methods. It supports SMTP deliveries with TLS enabled as required by Gmail and also mail() function/sendmail deliveries. Just use the appropriate sub-class that fit in your restrictions. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage If you need to deliver via SMTP/TLS to Gmail, you also need these two classes in conjunction. mail() function/sendmail deliveries do not require additional classes: http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass http://www.phpclasses.org/sasl -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If the user hits the browser stop button, it may abort the process in the server if you have the PHP option ignore_user_abort option set to off. Other than that I do not see any other problem.

THat is a bit intriguing why it works in some cases and others it doesn't. I do not use the Curl library functions except for things that you cannot do with the current fsockopen based socket connections. In the latest PHP versions there is not much that you cannot do with socket connections that you can do with Curl. In any case, I have encapsulated HTTP client fucntionality in the class that I mentioned, so it uses fsockopen or curl functions depending on what you need and what is available in the underlying PHP version.

It does not seem like it is a real bug but maybe file access is
implemented inside Curl and it has no knowledge about PHP stream support.
Alternatively, you may want to try this HTTP client class, which can use
any access files you need to use in your HTTP requests.

Sure. Propel already existed when I started Metastorage. Although it was better than other few existing PHP solutions, it did not satisfy me the way it worked, as it seem still too tied to the relational world and I did not feel that approach could bring me enough productivity, so I could just concentrate my application models, rather than database tables. Also the fact that it required a run-time with fat base classes to do the basic ORM operations made me think that there should be a better way to generate ORM code that is more compact and efficient as I would create if I had to write the code manually. >>>> If you are interested about more differences in the approaches, you may >>>> check the Metastorage documentaion: >>>> >>>> http://www.metastorage.net/ >>>> >>> sure, I'll check it out when I have some free time -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Metastorage generates totaly database independent code . You don't need to regenerate the code to support multiple databases nor have fat base classes to access your database or do any other ORM operations. Currently it generates code that uses Metabase database abstraction layer, although it can support other database abstraction layers. It supports many databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL server, SQLite, etc.. Metabase also generates a separate class for installing or upgrading your database schema. If you change the definition of you objects, you just need to call that class to install, upgrade, downgrade your database schemas, safely without loosing any data that was already in the database. This is something very secure, as it does not do any schema changes if the underlying database does not support certain things you want to change. If you ask for a change that is not possible, it simply fails without changing anything. It is not that error prone migrations method of Ruby on Rails, that you have to write "SQL" manually to do your migrations, and if you made a mistake, your database data is lost. >> For instance, if you want to send a newsletter to a million subscribers >> and you just need the e-mail address and names of the subscribers, you >> can tell Metastorage to generate a report class that queries the users >> objects and retrives just the name and e-mail address.

That is not exactly what I am talking about. Metastorage has an Object Query Language (OQL) that lets you express whatever query conditions you want. It generates PHP code with the necessary SQL queries you need. You do not have to build any queries programatically at run-time. The generated code can return full SQL statements if you want to execute them separately by some other application code, but usually I just use the generated report classes directly, as they take care of many things like pagination, so I do not have to deal with SQL directly. That is one of the great benefits of ORM. With Metastorage I just do not have to deal with SQL manually nor I am forced to retrieve all as objects, not even when I am retrieving just a few variables of multiple classes. I do not have to SQL joins manually. That would be walking backwards in productivity. >> There are more differences between Metastorage and Propel (and probably >> others approach).

Exactly. I choose to develop my own because nothing that existed in PHP matched my needs and code quality code requirements. Of course doing it yourself is an expensive measure because it takes time and skill to reach a mature solution. I have been developing Metastorage for 6 years. It is very mature and reliable, but there is always room for improvement. >> If you are interested about more differences in the approaches, you may >> check the Metastorage documentaion: >> >> http://www.metastorage.net/ >> > > sure, I'll check it out when I have some free time -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

No, that is not the point. An object of a class may have tens of variables (or properties if you prefer to call them that way). However, to send a newsletter, you just need 2. Why are you going to retrieve all class variables if you just need 2? Another detail, if your newsletter needs values from multiple classes, you need to query objects of the different classes envolved. With Metastorage report classes, I just call a function and get Just Exactly What I Need - JE WIN approach. Not more, not less. It just does what would do if I were not using an ORM tool, a simple select call with eventual joins, conditions, sorting, aggregation, pagination, etc... It would be pointless to use persistent classes for these purposes because you just need to retrieve data for read-only purposes. No objects are updated when you need to generate reports or send newsletters for instance. >> If you use the Propel approach you would need to retrieve 1 million >> objects of the users class just to pick the name and e-mail address, >> which is totally inefficient in terms of memory and very slow. > > > well lets just remember that even though arrays are just data and therefore > less expensive in terms of memory and quicker to iterate; there would still > be 1 million arrays of data. Of course not, you can just retrieve one array at a time. Still, even if you retrieve 1 million arrays to memory with just two elements (name and e-mail), it takes much less memory than retrieving millions of objects with all class variables including all those that you do not need. >> There are more differences between Metastorage and Propel (and probably >> others approach).

Sorry, you may perform any benchmarks you want, but competition is not my point here. I am just exchanging opinions and points of views. There are ORM tools that are younger and eventually less mature. Their developers may just learn from the benefits that other more mature ORM tools provide. I started Metastorage in 2002 and have analyzed several ORM approaches before I figured what to do that to make an ORM tool that generates satisfactory code as if I would write manually if I had too. Of course, I am not assuming Metastorage provides the best solution in all aspects. There is plenty of room for improvement in Metastorage, so it is also beneficial to demonstrate if other approaches can provide better results than Metastorage approach. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What happens is that Propel relies on fat base classes that the generated persistent object classes need to inherit to do the actual Object-relational mapping. Metastorage generates self-contained code. This means the generated classes are root classes that do only what you need. The generated code does the necessary database calls directly to store and retrieve objects. It does not call base classes like Propel generated classes that waste time composing SQL queries at run-time. Metastorage generated classes already have the necessary SQL built-in to execute the queries without further analysis at run-time. Another aspect is that Metastorage features what is called report classes. These are classes that perform queries that you define and generates SQL and PHP at compile time to retrieve data from the persistent objects for read-only purposes. For instance, if you want to send a newsletter to a million subscribers and you just need the e-mail address and names of the subscribers, you can tell Metastorage to generate a report class that queries the users objects and retrives just the name and e-mail address. The report classes return arrays just like plain SELECT queries. If you use the Propel approach you would need to retrieve 1 million objects of the users class just to pick the name and e-mail address, which is totally inefficient in terms of memory and very slow. There are more differences between Metastorage and Propel (and probably others approach). I just wanted to make the point that the fact that approaches use generated code, it does not mean that all provide the same efficiency.

Yes, 6 years ago I analyzed the approaches of many these solutions that analyze database schemas at run-time and cache the results . I concluded that is not by far as efficient as a full code generation based solution. A code generation based solution will generate code that does what is necessary without any additional run-time libraries. Those caching solutions still need to read cached information and interpret what is cached. Not only they spend more time but also more memory, especially if you need to load a pile of classes to load your caching engine and run-time interpreter. Another problem I found in those solutions is that often you need to inherit from a fat base class that implements all sorts of functionality that you may need at run-time to perform object-relational mapping operations, even if your application objects do not need all that functionality. I concluded that it would be more efficient to generate root classes that just include the functionality you have. For instance, if you do not need to delete objects from you application, there is no sense in having that functionality in your objects. The results is persistent classes that do not inherit from fat base classes and are much thiner and faster to load and execute. Yet another problem of the solutions that defer mapping to runtime libraries is the composition of queries with conditions that need to be composed at run time. I concluded that is much more efficient to have an object query language (OQL) that lets you define the conditions of your queries. These queries are processed at compile time and the compiler generates efficient SQL code that does not need to be composed at run time. Your applications just call a single function to execute object queries that satisfy the conditions that you defined. This results again is much thiner and faster code that does *Just Exactly What You Need* (_JEWYN_). All these details that I mentioned have been implemented by Metastorage, which is an ORM code generation tool. http://www.metastorage.net/ The generated code is very satisfying because it looks exactly like what I would write if I had to do it manually, except that I did not have to spend a lot time writing it. I just defined my business objects a simple model file that describes the classes, relationships, validation rules, and functions I need to manipulate those objects. The compile time is measured in a few seconds. The time this tool took to develop is paying more and more on every application feature I need to implement but I do not need to waste hours or days coding the persistent object classes.

Thanks in advance! Relaying messages to an SMTP server is a very slow solution, despite a common belief otherwise. If you are under Windows, there is a much better solutions if you have Microsoft Exchange installed. You can just drop messages in the pickup folder if you have the right permissions. Sending messages is just like writing to a file. You may want to take a look at this MIME message composing and sending class. It comes with several delivery sub-classes, including one which knows how to drop messages in the Exchange pickup folder. Also, if your message bodies do not change for different recipients, this class provides smart body caching support, so it does not waste time regenerating the message body for every recipient.
