I may be missing something, but your not parsing XML. Your $line
contains an array of data from the database, not xml.

what do the echo's say? if they have no input then there's a error

also  but not 100% on this if u put

[PHP] Sorting array based on key string

[Peter J. Pieczora]

Pardon my sloppy explanation but here it is:

how can i sort an array based on key element ie.

key values are: a1, a2 ,a3 ..., b1, b2 ,b3, ...c1, c1, c3...
so doing this:
while (list($k, $v) = each($data)) {
for ($i=0; $i";
}
will list all the $k $v .
a = foo
a = bar
b = another foo
...
and so on

Now, how can i sort it according to $k[0]
where $k[0] = a, than the same for all b's and so on.

If you removed the

:) ... this is a laugh. 

There must be one Miguel for 10,000 other managers. What Miguel said above is what any 
rational, competent manager would do. I cannot tell you how many times I send my 
resume but I put a link to 
my code (they can download entire apps so they can see not only snippets but how I 
organize or disorganize my code). No one, not one, has ever bothered to look at my 
code and questioned me. I 
interviewed with Jeffrey Friedl of regex fame and even he did not look at my code 
(although when I said I did not know something he laughed and said he did not know 
either, "that's why we have 
reference books").

I think getting the CERTS is not bad. Certainly the smart person will do as Miguel 
suggests, but I think he's in the VAST minority. I know a guy who has a consulting 
firm. It's a M$ shop. They BLAST 
their M$ certs everywhere. The software business is too new imho. Most people who 
should know better will be bamboolzed by CERTS. 

One manager sent out an email to everyone who responded to an ad. He offered general 
suggestions to everyone. I thought that was a dern good thing. He suggested people 
send Brainbench exam 
results. I'm sure certs would have helped as well. Even though this guy was "nice" I 
doubt he could get around code. imho, there are just far, far too few people who can 
judge someone by their code. I 
say get the certs. Personally, I could never work for someone who needed that so I 
don't bother, but if you want a job, I can't see that it hurts AT ALL.

Heck, I'm gonna rant if I keep going ... ever have someone ask you if you know FTP :) 
... like a smart person could not show another smart person about that in 15 minutes. 
It's just amazing  what 
passes for competence in the IT world.  I had a boss who I swear sincerely said he 
could "double click a mouse". The guy was serious. I did not last at that job :)

I have come across some of this in the documentation but not in your face like it is

Does anyone have any more links to articles like that?

This is a gray area imho. I'd leave all html to the person who cares 
what it looks like, not what it does. I usually also use a code 
generator to create html and their forms but they are a separate 
layer. I use templates, wish a lot more php people would as well 
although I've seen some weird stuff where in this one bb they store 
templates in the database. That's interesting.

Yeah, can't say too much more than that. There is the style of coding 
where one application is completely independent of another. Then you 
begin to realize, gee ... I could just cut and paste this code. And 
then there's always the funny repetion of the exact same code every 
30 lines or so (depending on memory of programmer I guesss). 
Eventually you begin to realize gee ... could I put this stuff in a 
library. A CLASS after all is just a collection of functions with a 
data model. But ... there is modular and then there is OO imho. I'm a 
die hard modular programmer who is trying to think in a more OO way. 
But of course when you just gotta get something done, do it. The 
value in spending a bit more time going the modular/OO route is that 
your application will be easier to evolve and debug.

Hi,

I'd like to test this on a virtural server (can't afford my own box on the net) and I

got access to imagemagick but I have to call it direct. 

Anyone with some experience or advice on ezpublish?  It's about 14 meg

As common as this is I should have some template for it at least ... I did try that 
once. Here is an example I recently used. It's in Perl but since it's primarily SQL 
it's still 
a good example I reckon.

(note, thank god, in Perl we don't have to quote literals in a hash, I hate doing that)

  if($input{next}) {
$sql = qq|SELECT * FROM images WHERE location = ? AND image_id < $input{next} 
ORDER BY born DESC LIMIT $input{spread}|;  
  }elsif($input{previous}) {
$sql = qq|SELECT * FROM images WHERE location = ? AND image_id > 
$input{previous} ORDER BY born LIMIT $input{spread}|;  
  } else {
$sql = qq|SELECT * FROM images WHERE location = ? ORDER BY born DESC LIMIT 
$input{spread}|;#
  }

Explanation:

SELECT * FROM images WHERE location = ? AND image_id < $input{next} ORDER BY born DESC 
LIMIT $input{spread}

$input{next} is the ($input{spread} +  current position) so if my spread is 5 I will 
have

1-5
6-10
11-15
and $input{next} will always be 10,15,20, etc.

Now from here:

http://www.mysql.com/doc/L/I/LIMIT_optimisation.html

> If you use LIMIT # with ORDER BY, MySQL will end the sorting as soon
> as it has found the first # lines instead of sorting the whole table.

Umm ... my system worked. I don't think though that the above line indicates it would. 
You can see the snippets I show from above here:

http://www.memphisart.com/superframes/index.cgi

I set the spread to 2 so you can see it working and I uploaded a few images. The guy 
who wanted that wanted to sort by last in first up. 

There are probably many more ways of doing this. Hope we see some more responses. I 
never thought to use the LIMT X,Y option. I will test that later.

AW: [PHP] IIS5 and PHP4 problems

[Peter Stöcker]

Hi!

The register_globals are "on".

But using $_POST will cause some problems, because I also use generated

So I don't get the variables by both these genrated links and forms.

Check your php.ini -> register_globals ...

Re: [PHP] Submit code

The Snoopy class would do this nicely.  http://snoopy.sourceforge.net/

That may be too complicated of class as you mentioned, but it's probably the
best solution for you, and once setup, your task will be very easy to do
with
this class.  I had a similar situation where I needed to do a simple form
post, and found some very basic code, but it slowed by app down so much it
had to be replaced eventually anyway.

Think about the datamodel for a usenet post. Each has a unique id and from there you 
are good to go. 

http://www.workbrazil.com/admin/kb.php

That's a copy of a site I'm working on. I happen to use a Perl script that is run by 
cron and connects to a few newsgroups and uses filters to 
select messages (essentially email) and store them in a mysql table. That script could 
easily be written in PHP I guess.  So you get the 
message and you re-arrange to fit the datamodel of your database and insert it.

About the copyrights. I looked into this a bit and I'm not lawyer but I found nothing 
that said what I was doing would be wrong. I certainly reject 
any copyrighted material which is often posted but all that guy seems to be doing is 
to be reposting. In my case I'm actually culling  data to 
repurpose and if I use chunks of posts from someone I give them credit.

Here is the table I use to store data. I did this quickly and need to pare this down 
to the essentials.

Jason,

Thanks, that works except that it doesn't account for case. I want to ignore case as 
it doesn't apply here. But I was able to get rid of the 
associative array. So I reckoned it best to LC the question and copy it because I want 
to return the original question as is back to the browser.

$_string = strtolower ($Config['input']['question']);

$words = explode(" ",$_string);
$ignoreWords = 
array('brazil','like','the','this','that','why','are','there','where','find',);

$FindTheseWords = array_diff($words, $ignoreWords);

[PHP] Trying to build intelligent query from question

[Peter J. Schoenster]

Hi,

I may be doing this all the wrong way :) so feel free to let me know, thanks.

I've been developing a q/a database. I don' want to search on "what I consider" 
common words. Certainly there must be a list of these. Anyhow, I explode the 
question string into words and then iterate as such:


foreach($words as $Key=>$Value) {
if($ignoreWords[strtolower($Value)]) {
continue;
}

Here is my $ignoreWords array:

$ignoreWords = 
array('brazil'=>1,'like'=>1,'the'=>1,'this'=>1,'that'=>1,'why'=>1,'are'=>1,'there'=>
1,'where'=>1,'find'=>1,);

What do you think? Do I just build up $ignoreWords like I'm doing or this there 
another way I've missed? Also, does someone have a list of "common words 
to ignore"?

Thanks,

Peter

Yes. I'm sure you could just mail out the table in an email. You'd have to
do it as a multipart email (i think that's what it's called) as just mailing
out the html code wouldn't show as a table in a mail client.
Here's the source of a HTML spam I got this morning - should give you an
idea how to do it.  Note: you still mail out using the mail() function.

[PHP] weird....php 4.2.1 with apache2 ver 2.0.39

[Peter]

howdy...

any one come accross this before...

down loaded apache 2.0.39  when I tried to install it as a service on win2k with php 
included in the httpd conf file as a module it was saying...

C:\PHPDEV\APACHE\APACHE2\BIN>apache -k install
APACHE: module "c:\php4build\snap\sapi\apache2filter\sapi_apache2.c" is not comp
atible with this version of Apache.
Please contact the vendor for the correct version.

but when tried to install php as CGI had no problems wot so ever...

now i'd prefer it as a module.. and have searched around thru php.ini httpd.conf and 
the like to find where it was referencing 
"c:\php4build\snap\sapi\apache2filter\sapi_apache2.c" but no luck... can't see it any 
where.. tried a search on google for module installation problems on this .. but no 
luck...

any idea's as to why?

At pixxures.com the client just entered their ADDRESS. Then the backend (probably a 
bit too much for javascript) would return a sattelite view of that address. I believe 
they were using Russian data or 
something. But as I mentioned before, they had serverS that only took requests, cut 
out images, returned images. Oh heck, they are still in business, take a look:

http://www.pixxures.com/

But I can't wait for them to serve up any images as they are dreadfully slow.

Well heck, you've peaked my interest. I don't see how javascript makes any difference. 
The power of the app MUST be some server-side app otherwise it would work in any 
Browser (or please 
correct me in any way). 

I'd like to hear more details about this. What kind of maps do they produce? I once 
worked with on a map site called pixxures.com and they had MANY servers that were 
SPECFICALLY designed 
to process requests and return images (ran on linux and solaris and might have worked 
on windows as the app itself was in java I believe). We only had to provide 
coordinates from the web form to 
these apps and they'd return a slice of an image.

RE: [PHP] How do I import tables into MySQL from web page ...

[Peter]

using dan's test below if u add a '/s' like so

 $output = system('dir /s c:\books', $return_var);

you will get all contents os subdir's as well  
how ever i suggest working on a format as this tree's out along the page
so maybe if u add a '/w' after the '/s'as well that will sort of solve that problem .. 

though does create one massive block of filenames in ur browser...

Re: [PHP] Development Tools

Well let me get my 2 cents in. It's a religious question. But oh 
well.  I recently had a lot of trouble with someone at work about 
this, so I'm gonna rant.

I too use TextPad and have been since I'm too lazy to get really good 
at vi or emacs. I also know and use Perl extensively as a code 
generator. Someone talked about the work in creating a form, just 
give me the keys and boom form is done and read to be handed to the 
designers to ruin in their special way.  You could use Ruby or Rebol 
or even Python I guess or PHP on the command line but I can't imagine 
anyting being faster than a Perl script (to write).

I keep trying these IDE tools. I type about 70+ wpm, so you can 
imagine I'm not a fan of my hand speding half it's time in the air 
between keyboard and mouse. I also try never to repeat the same code 
twice so I don't cut and paste ... I put common functions in modules 
and use them but few IDEs that I've used easily allow me to use those 
or I haven't seen how. If anyone wants to create a great IDE for Perl 
I'd love to help. It should work for PHP as well.

I also separate my programming from my view and since I'm a 
programmer and not a designer the visual view is not paramount to me 
and can always be done later or at the same time by me or someone 
else. I have a feeling that most PHP programmers also do their own 
design and that's a reason for so much PHP stuff to have html strewn 
all over the place.  In any case I always think in terms of a theme 
and since I've got most of my html code abstracted into "boxes" it's 
just a question of my program to manipulate and supply the proper 
data to the template.

So for me, the best development tools are:

1. Imagination
2. Knowledge of your tools (language, PHP, HTML, CSS, etc. in this 
case)
3. Knowledge of the computer and it's potential (I use NT as desktop 
but have cygwin and use unix command tools and lots and lots of perl 
scripts to aid 
in development)

4. A good text editor (there are lots, they all have macros, revision 
control, keyboard commands for as much as possible).

Personally, I've never worked with a programmer who taught me 
anything who used Dreamweaver or FrontPage etc ... all the good ones 
I know use vi, emacs, textpad, etc.  I'd suggest using a text editor 
and then moving to an IDE or more advanced GUI and knowing that it is 
faster for you as opposed to starting with an IDE or GUI because 
you'll probably end up like most people and begin to think 
possiblities are what your tool allows you.

Well be sure that your MySQL supports transactions. InnoDB or something. In perl it's 
just a case of eval {sql here} if($@ ) {rollback}else commit, the $@ is empty unless 
the eval created an error. 
Now, let me see how PHP does this, Google, where are you?

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=mysql+php+rollback

Might want to be sure your MySQL supports transactions and is configure appropriately 
or you can drive yourself nuts.

http://www.mysql.com/doc/I/n/InnoDB_transaction_model.html 

And then some ideas about how to do it with PHP:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php

(wow, right from php.net)

http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/02/11/index4a_page3.html?tw=backend

I've never used mysql for anything but a data store so I have no examples myself.

[PHP] PHP code optimization

Question on optimizing code for quicker runtimes. 
Which is quicker (this is on a webpage also..NOT
commandline)?



OR

Both do the same thing and are legit but wondering
which is better from an optimization standpoint (NOT

But why bother? Certainly you would not think it secure. Use https for security, 
anything else is a mirage afaik.

There is a module in Perl that encrypts and unencrypts post/get data intended for 
hidden fields. I guess it uses a checksum as well.

I personally prefer to just create a session and keep it on the server side. 

Oh heck, but now as I read your email closer I guess you are asking how it can be done 
from a form the first time. Perhaps with javascript but then use post instead of get 
and of course make 
it via a secure connection if security is a concern.

I don't know what you mean by straight line. AFAIK all of this will be as "the crow

[PHP] help pls..

[Peter]

howdy all

my aim is to have a user submit a form and then from there replace cell colours with 
in a table. I'm referencing the cells by cell id's  eg 

 
   id="ph1">1 
  
   id="ph2">2 
  
   id="ph3">3 
  
   id="ph4">4 
  


now using a switch statement eg 

switch( $bg )
{
case "red":
print( "#FF" );
break;
//a few more colours in here
default:
print( "#FF" );
break;
}
what would be the best way to tell it what  cell colours to replace on submit would it 
be an if, for or a do/while statement that would be the better option ( or any others 
that  4 that matter) if i wanted to have just the cells with the ids of ph2 & ph3 to 
be changed?


Cheers

I'm not too familiar with Linux systems. See if there are two copies of your

On my system, the PHP executeable looks for the PHP.INI file in the same
directory as the executeable, whereas the Apache module uses the one in my
C:\WINDOWS directory. Are you using Windows?
Due to this, I suppose you can have two different PHP setups if you wanted.

[PHP] Re: PHP Script Speed

[Peter]

I understand what you're getting at, I'm not sure of the answer though.
I know it would stop you using FrontPage or Dreamweaver but if for example
you had
Index page";
print "Current: $_Current";
print "Percent Change: $_ChangePercent";
print "";
?>
You'd eliminate that problem.

[PHP] seeking experienced PHP programmer in Houston, TX (no telecommuting)

[Peter J. Schoenster]

Hello,

I'm posting this ad for the company looking for a PHP programmer. I have no clue if 
the company 
is good or not. Do your due dilligence.

__BEGIN JOB POST

We are a Houston, Texas based company in need of 1-2 VERY GOOD AND
EXPERIENCED PHP programmers for 4-6 weeks to build a new web site.  This
project will be very exciting and involves many very challenging and
elaborate programming feature-sets.  ABSOLUTELY NO TELECOMMUTING.  All
programming for the scope of this project must be performed in our office
Monday - Friday from 8AM - 5PM Central Standard Time.  We would prefer
programmers who currently live in the Houston area opposed to programmers
willing to relocate to the Houston area for the duration of the 4-6 week
development period but we will consider all options.  This opportunity
could possibly lead to fulltime permanent employment following completion
of the initial development.  All experienced PHP programmers interested
should email Evan Esnard at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call during
regular business hours at 832-264-1001.

The web site will include a MySQL database backend, e-commerce shopping
cart-style ad submission form on front-end with real-time credit card
authorization through CardService International, several other ad
submission forms on both front-end and back-end, and an extensive back-end
Web Admin Control Panel for us to control various features and components
of the web site.  We will be happy to share further details on the
feature-sets with any interested programming candidates for this project.

Hi,

I was here first:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.mailinglist.php#faq.mailinglist.guideline

> Before you post to the list please have a look in this FAQ 

But I found nothing about a jobs mailing list. I'm really a Perl programmer and 
we have jobs.perl.org which has a list which does a really good job. 

A person from Houston, TX asked me if I knew of any PHP people in Houston. 
I advertise on Google and Overture as a developer for hire.

I don't sugget he post to this list as I'm not sure of the etiquette and I've never 
seen jobs posted to this list; I know they are accepted heartily on the 
mod_perl list. 

Anything simple but effective like this site for PHP?

[PHP] Linked drop down selection lists and dynamically generated links

[Peter Goggin]

I have two related tables. The first has about 12 records, each of which is
related to about 12 records in the second table.  I want to have two
interconnectedt dropdown list fields. The fisrt is used to select from the
first table and when the value has been selected, use it to determine the
contents of the second drop down list.  Once the second field has been
selected I want to use this data to otain the name of the form to be used to
display data selected using the two fields.

Obviously I can do this by having interrelated pages where the value from
the first fields is carried to the second page and used to populate the
second drop down list. I can then presumably dynamically generate the link
to the required page and pass over what paraeters are needed.

Is there any way of doing this so within a single page?

Can this be done using only PHP or do I need to use Javascripts?
Where would I be able to find examples of code which does this sort of
processing?

Any adivice would be gratefully received.

Peter Goggin

session.cookie_lifetime   = 900 ; lifetime in seconds of cookie
; or if 0, until browser is restarted

Is this the correct why to achieve this? If so what else can it be?

Thanks,

Re: [PHP] Re: $this in an XML data handler ... in a class

[Peter Clarke]

I hadn't noticed that. My php.ini was set to on, changing it to off gave the
warning.
Having changed:
xml_set_object($this->parser,&$this);
to:
xml_set_object($this->parser,$this);
Stops the warning and the parser works fine.

This is the class I'm using and it works fine:

class parse_words_xml  {
 var $words;

 function parse_words_xml($xml_data) {
 $this->words = array();
 $this->parser = xml_parser_create();
 xml_parser_set_option($this->parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, false);
 xml_set_element_handler($this->parser,"tag_open","tag_close");
 xml_set_character_data_handler($this->parser,"cdata");
 $this->parse($xml_data);
 }

 function parse($xml_data) {
  xml_set_object($this->parser,$this);
  reset ($xml_data);
  while (list (, $data) = each ($xml_data)) {
  if (!xml_parse($this->parser, $data)) {
  die(sprintf( "XML error: %s at line %d\n\n",
  xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($this->parser)),
  xml_get_current_line_number($this->parser)));
  }
  }

 }

 function tag_open($parser,$tag,$attributes) {
 $this->current_tag = $tag;
 switch($tag){
 case 'Word':
$this->id = $attributes['id'];
$this->words[$attributes['id']] = 1;
 break;
 default:
 break;
 }
 }

 function cdata($parser,$cdata) {
  $this->temp = $cdata;
 }

 function tag_close($parser,$tag) {
 switch($tag){
 case 'Word':
$this->words[$this->id] = $this->temp;
$this->temp = '';
 break;
 default:
 break;
 }
 }

}

[PHP] Re: Script Security: Best coding practices

[Peter James]

A suggestion would be to make sure that the variables you're receiving are
coming from where you think they're coming from...

For instance,

$_SESSION['logged_in']  is also (generally) $logged_in
but so is
$_GET['logged_in']

A smart user could fake it if they wanted to... check the $_SESSION or
$_COOKIE or $_POST arrays when it's important, don't just check
$logged_in...

[PHP] Authentication

[Peter]

On my site, when a user logs in, their password is encrypted using md5() and
the username and encrypted password is then passed from page to page using
hidden form inputs (clicking on a link submits the form using POST).
Does anyone have any comments on this method e.g. security wise? I know I
could use sessions or cookies but is it relly necessary?

Thanks.  I tried this on my Windows development server and got absolutely no output 
from these functions, so gave up.  Now i'm wondering whether 
it's just a Windows-only bug: I'll have to look and see if my web hosting has this 
installed as it would be a smart option if it did work.

Using the unicode translation tables I built some kind of translation table which 
seemed to work, but it converted to utf-16 rather than utf-8, 
so everything showed as little squares rather than characters :-(  Otherwise this 
would have worked nicely (contact me if you want more details).

[PHP] Dealing with XML charsets

[Peter]

Hi,

Has anyone any advice as to how to deal with XML documents encoded in windows-1252: a 
character set that PHP's XML extension won't process?  I've 
got a large number of such documents, and using xml_parse_into_struct() would be the 
easiest way to handle them - but because of the encoding 
problem I keep on ending up with ? instead of characters in the document in certain 
places.  Is there any way I could convert the charset?

Thanks
Peter

[PHP] Passing more than one variable with alink

[Peter Goggin]

I need to pass more than one variable with a link.

I cannot see the syntax listed anywhere.

I am using :
printf ("",$catitempage,$catrange);


Obviously the separators between the two variablesare incorrect.   i.e. I
have: ?catitempage=%s;?catrange=%s

Can anyone tell me what it should be or where I can find a reference to
these sort of syntax problems.

[PHP] str_replace() not accepting arrays?

[Peter]

Hi,

In the documentation it says that str_replace() accepts an array as its subject.  I 
have been trying to use it with a multidimensional array, but 
keep on getting the following error:

Notice: Array to string conversion in c:\code\xml\index.php on line 85

And my arrays are flattened :-(

$foo = array(
'0' => array('foo => 'bar'),
'1' => array('fff' => 'f',
'feen' => 'foo')
);

Returns an array like
Array ( [0] => Array [1] => ) when printed out.

Is the documentation wrong or is PHP 4.2.1 broken?

Thanks
Peter

I ignored the rest as it was beyond me. I'm also a newbie to PHP but I looked into 
dates in Perl. I quickly began using a module from CPAN as I realized this was more 
complicated than meets the eye 
and you seem to indcate that when you mention leap years.

I would question why you accept input as a particular format. It's certainly easier to 
work with timestamps than arbitrary representations of dates.  I would not be so quick 
to assume you have to accept 
input as is.  Or at least have it fixed to a format ... but the Perl modules I've 
worked with are liberal with what they receive  :) Anyhow, I'd just find a PHP 
module ot handle this. 

I found this:

http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/akent2610.php3

but I'd just want a class (guess you call it that in PHP).


And then this looks real interesting:

> Date/Time Processing with PHP

http://zope1.devshed.com/zope.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/DateTime/page1.html

In Perl I happen to use this moduel for date manipulation:

http://search.cpan.org/doc/STBEY/Date-Calc-5.0/Calc.pod

There must be something similar in PHP but since I too am a newbie (and lazy to boot) 
I don't know what it is.

Re: [PHP] Getting IP from behind proxies

[Peter]

why not assign your user a unique id when they first visit you site and this
is registered in a database. The unique id is then passed from page to page
in the URL (i.e. get method)
when they submit their vote, the PHP page:
1: check to see if that Unique ID is stored in the database (checks it
hasn't just been made up)
2: checks to see if the "Voted" field is set to false
if either of the above return as FALSE reject the vote because either the
user has already voted or they modified the unique id to try and cheat the
system.
Now, the only way for them to make multiple votes is to keep getting to the
voting page by going back to your homepage and following the links to your
vote page or to make up a unique id and hope it's already been created by
someone else.
Every time you change the poll, you should empty the database as there could
be a few unique ids that were created but the visitor didn't vote.

It's a bit overkill for a web poll though!!!

Yeah, you are assuming an environment that does not necessarily have to be. Why must 
one Apache server serve all users? Simply because that's the easiest 
way to do right out of the box?  You have 2 scenarios as I see it:

1. Your own box -- no troubles other than the obvious
2. Virtual Server - One Apache for all users ... seems insecure
3. Virtual Server - One Apache for EACH user ... seems quite secure and experience 
confirms.

That pretty much describes the server I've used at the company once known as iserver 
which was bought by Verio and Verio used much of their website but 
renamed it to viaverio.com (was iserver.com). It looks like they've done the same 
thing with Oracle. The above people have done it with Linux. I've only used 
iserver for 7 years now at 3 different companies but that freeVSD really looks good.

If someone is using Joe's 4.95 a month hosting solution ...well, what the heck do they 
expect.

coordinates from a macromedia director movie.

but:   the only call i can send from there is for a browser window without
any attributes (so i can't control size or location).

can i use php to call a webpage that calls a php script and immediately
(without user interaction such as confirming a dialoguebox) opens the
'actual' browser window at the correct location and the right size?

thanks in advanced for your help!!

[PHP] preg and Perl 6 (upcoming..not current preg handling)

[Peter Thoenen]

Anybody know if PHP 4.x (5.x?) will be sticking with
Perl5 RegEx syntax for preg's or will it be changing
to the new Perl6 RegEx syntax (which I really dislike
but what can you do, Larry has spoken).

If we do plan to move to Perl6 RegEx, please implement
the P5 modifier

There was a recent thread on the mod_perl list related to this concept: MVC. 

http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/users/smarch/st-docs/mvc.html

I have an image gallery app in Perl. There are controllers (cgi, mod_perl handler, 
script) which call functions in the "models" which simply or not perform functions and 
return data in hashes and 
arrays and arrays of hashes of arrays ... :)  then the controller calls the viewer 
it wants to use (works with HTML::Template or Template::Toolkit) and sends the results 
back to the client 
making the request (and depeneding on that client, one or other view would be used). I 
rebelled when my boss wanted me to write an app for a handheld ... oh sure ... I'll 
just cut and paste and 
... what a mess you will get into.  You can see that here:

http://www.memphisart.com/gallery/

I am in the process of applying some themes from this site:

http://www.oswd.org/

Takes about 10 minutes to 1 hour depending on how the theme is written.

The same concepts apply to PHP. I have 2 php sites and I've kind of tried to avoide a 
mishmash of html and PHP code all over the place. I used the concept of the Wrapper 
from 
Template::Toolkit for with a port of HTML::Template to PHP here:

http://www.coremodules.com/
http://www.coremodules.com/talent/index.php

A page calls which wrapper it wants to use. So in the case of talent it uses a one 
table body whereas most other pages use the 3 column wrapper.  The pages simply gather 
the content ... the 
design of the page (for the site as a whole therefore) is done in one location.

BUT, BUT ... now that I've seen this site:

http://www.interakt.ro/products/Krysalis/

I'm going to try and scrap my PHP hack above and use the above. I was never able to 
use cocoon because I always use virtual hosts. If I can get the above to work on my 
PHP sites then I 
might use PHP a lot more. I have a good Perl system but I've only played with PHP for 
now. Anyone can write the spagetti code which is 90% of what I see in PHP. Most Perl 
programmers I 
know write their own template system ... just a common sense sort of thing and usually 
it starts from ignorance of a good existing templating system ... I've worked at a few 
different companies 
and I much prefer to find code that follows a standard than code that follows the 
whims of the programmer who happened to string it all together.

Oh one more thing. The best projects I've worked on have an "html guy". This guy is in 
between a programmer and a designer.  We get the designer to do their stuff in 
photoshop or similar and 
the html guy converts that into the screen shots we need with our data model and 
template tags.   Of course most companies think they can get those 2 and someone to 
answer the phone all 
in one package for double minimum wage ... oh well ... If your designers use GUIs and 
think they know what they are doing ... well  I don't know. Maybe M$ has a 
solution that works for that 
environment.

[Peter]

If you want an all in one solution without having to have two versions,
can't you read the status of register_globals from the config file and base
the rest of the script on this?
eg
if (register_globals == 'on') {
$name = _POST['name'];
$address = _GET['address'];
}

then you can access the variables as if register_globals = on even if it

Peter,

Thanks for your ASAP response,
Have you ever touch with oracle scripting ?
The manual doesn't show how we can execute kind of oracle store procedure ..

I thought that PHP only supporting for SQL - query only but not supported to
retrieve PL-SQL,
When I do the samething with Oracle developer in PHP environment so I have
to convert my PL-SQL which stored in Oracle DB to PHP script. In my mind it
shows that PHP only use Oracle just only 'data storage', could not retrieve
many additional features of oracle itself.

[PHP] Old config options still showing after updating PHP

[Peter Janett]

I have been compiling some extra configure options into PHP (4.1.2), such
as --enable-xslt --with-xslt-sablot, and have had no problem getting PHP to
configure, then make, then make install.

Even after recompiling PHP, and then restarting (stopping, then starting)
apache, phpinfo still shows the old configuration options.  (I tried
deleting config.cache and re compiling, but that didn't help.)

I remember having this issue last time I upgraded, and when I figured it out
it was kind of a dumb thing I was forgetting to do, but I can't seem to
remember what it was.

Any help appreciated.

[PHP] Status code and Header("Location: ")

[Peter Thoenen]

PHP Manual says there are two special cases for
headers, Location and Status.  Not to concerned about
status here, but it states that Location: always
returns an status code 302.  Now HTTP/1.1 depreciates
302 since browsers were incorrectly implementing it
anyways.  It was replaces 302 with the MUSTS 303 and
304.  (304 is the correctly handled 302, and 303 is
the current incorrect way most browsers implement 302)

Since PHP seems to always return 302, is it possible
to force HTTP/1.1 compliance and return 303 or 304
depending on my situation?

[PHP] Re: php server on Windows

[Peter]

You can run PHP as a module / extension for apache or let Apache load and
run the php.exe program for each php file.
Loading and running the program in quick succession strains the system
somewht but the extension is always loaded and is just used when needed -
much faster and efficient.

Win98, Apache, PHP 4.0.6 and MySQL with a whole bunch of other apps has been

We use the apache extension thingy, not the CGI version of PHP which helps a
lot.

well, the first method is the same as saying
$a = "foo";
$foo = "bar";
echo "$a $foo";

whereas the second method is appending "bar" to $a (thus making it "foobar")

In first method, you get two variables, the second, just one

RE: [PHP] Installation and/or configuration problems w 4.2.1 on NT

[Peter]

George,

your problem seems to be with your ACL ( Access Control List ) in other
words the user permissions on the machine you are remotely logging into ..
you need to have full Administrator rights inorder to install php onto NT..
get the People who are local to the machine to give you the full admin
rights and it should be fine. If they won't then walk them through the
installation via phone or what eva

Cheers
Peter

Hi all,

I have PHP running happily on three of my servers (NT/2000/Linux) and need
to set it up on NT on a server 400 miles away. I have remote access to the
server.

I have followed the instructions for both the ISAPI version and the CGI
version with no success.

This is the error message I get when I try to call phpinfo.php:

HTTP Error 401
401.3 Unauthorized: Unauthorized due to ACL on resource

I'm now just about to start pulling my hair out, so can someone help before
I'm totally bald.

Subject: [PHP] NEWBIE- Is this possible? How?!



Hello All Helpers!  :)

I was wondering if it is possible to mix Dynamic Content with Layers?

If not I was wondering if someone can help me with my idea:

I have designed a website for a band (see below name) and I would like to
add a feature where the band members can log in and write something, and
have it displayed on the page...i guess kinda like a guestbook, but I would
like to have the content to be overwritable. I guess if the band members
had their own page, they could add their own content whenever they wanted
to, and it would update accordingly.

Be warned I have no background in PhP.

I would basically like to know what it is I am looking for to creating this.
I have bought Beginning PhP 4 by Wrox, and I am slowly getting into it. I
just need some direction please.

Thanks,

Kevin

Thanks,

Kevin J

[PHP] Tree structures, references & segfaults

[Peter Blokland]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a tree of objects in PHP, and having all sorts of
trouble. Ideally, I'd like to end up with a reference to an object, 
which has an array of (references to) child-objects. Each child-object,
except the root, also contains a reference to its parent. A sample :

name = $name;
$this->children = array();

  }

}

session_start();

if(!$_SESSION['root']) {

  $root = new myObj("root");
  $child1 =& new myObj("child1");
  $child1->parent =& $root;
  $root->children[] =& $child1;
  $child2 =& new myObj("child2");
  $child2->parent =& $child1;
  $child1->children[] =& $child2;

  $_SESSION['root'] =& $root;

}

?>

Load this to create the session, reload it to (try to) use the session.
This code works on Linux (php 4.2.1), and segfaults on OpenBSD (also
php 4.2.1) with one or more of these when reloaded :

[Thu Jun  6 22:24:31 2002] [notice] child pid 12335 exit signal 
Segmentation fault (11)
- or -
FATAL:  erealloc():  Unable to allocate -541078048 bytes
- or -
[Thu Jun  6 22:25:00 2002] [notice] child pid 23244 exit signal 
Illegal instruction (4)

After some searching, I found a bug report stating that circular references 
are not supported, and probably won't be for some time to come. 
What I'd like to know is :
 - are circular refs the problem here, and if so, why does it seem
   to work on linux ?
 - could somebody point me to a better way of building an n-ary tree of
   objects that can be stored in sessions ? I tried searching, but found
   little usefull code so far.
   in the app I'm trying to get started, each object could be one of a
   set of classes, all derived from the same base-class, which should
   hold all tree-manipulation methods. something like the class DomNode,
   but more extensible (in the regular PHP-sense of 'extends').
