Re: [PHP] Open form in new window
snip No - you meant to say per the form's TARGET attribute No, I meant to say exactly what I said, namely ACTION. The Target attribute deals with frames -- I have not done frames since 1995. For a more in-depth Target explanation, please review: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/forms/_FORM_TARGET.html If you read your own link you will see a reference to target=_blank this opens the document in a new tab/window. If there is a way to open a new window/tab with the action attribute I would love to be educated. sibling page of your link http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/forms/_FORM_ACTION.html However, I do not think that is what is being discussed here -- at least it is not what I was talking about. agreed Cheers, tedd snip Ray -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] seg fault with pecl ps extension
Hello,
I'm not positive if this is the right list, or if other info is required.
If this is the wrong list, please recomend a better one. If other info is
desired, just ask.
I am having some problems with the PECL PS (postscript) extension. For some
commands, everything works properly, but when the code tries to deal with
fonts, it seg faults and core dumps. In my code, the problem appears to be
caused by the ps_setfont command.
I have some code that uses it that used to work, but no longer does. I have
confirmed the same behaviour with the example code that ships with the
extension, glyphlist.php for a specific example. I have un-installed and
reinstalled the php5-ps (64 bit) package through the package manager to no
effect.
sample code and system info follows sig.
any assistance appreciated,
Ray
system is Kubuntu 12.10 64bit, kernel version 3.5.0-18, php 5.4.6-1ubuntu1.1
according to php -v
my sample code:
if two marked lines are left in, seg faults, otherwise works
?php
$file=pstest.ps;
$fonts_dir='./fonts/';
$font_size=30;
$dr2=50;
$psdoc = ps_new();
ps_set_parameter($psdoc, 'SearchPath', $fonts_dir);
if (!ps_open_file($psdoc, $file))
{
print Cannot open PostScript file $file \n;
exit;
}
ps_set_info ($psdoc, 'Orientation' , 'Portrait');
ps_begin_page ($psdoc, 596, 842);
$psfont = ps_findfont($psdoc, ArialMT, );
echo br$psfontbr;
ps_setfont($psdoc, $psfont, $font_size);//works if these two lines
ps_show_xy($psdoc, 'Hello World', 30, 400);//are commented out,

Hi Ray, Does this issue coincide with an upgrade to PHP 5.4, and if so, which version of PHP were you running before? You could try to email the maintainer listed, Uwe Steinmann u...@steinmann.cx or ste...@php.net, but it looks like it's been a while since anyone has touched that code. If this is because of backwards incompatible changes in PHP (e.g., http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration54.incompatible.php, http://php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php), you could try to avoid the PHP bindings Uwe developed and merely use PHP to call a C program that directly deals with his project pslib: http://pslib.sourceforge.net/ Sorry for the trouble, Adam -- Nephtali: A simple, flexible, fast, and security-focused PHP framework http://nephtaliproject.com Adam, Don't apologize. Thanks for the reply. It certainly could be due to an upgrade. I wrote my code a while ago, then let it sit. A few days ago I tried to use it again. I first had to deal with a change in the way call by reference worked in php. (I had to delete the '' from some function calls.) Did that correspond to the 5.3 - 5.4 upgrade? I will look at the links you provided. Thanks again. Ray -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Subject: [PHP] session variables and SVG documents
Hello,
I have the following problem with the Adobe SVG viewer:
I try to generate a SVG document using PHP. the following code is working
well under Firefox, as well as IE with ASV:
?php
header(Content-type: image/svg+xml);
$graph_title = 'title';
print('?xml version=1.0 encoding=iso-8859-1 standalone=no?');
$svgwidth=500;
$svgheight=400;
?
!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/DTD/svg10.dtd;
svg width=?php echo $svgwidth; ?px height=?php echo $svgheight;
?px
xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg;
descThis is a php-random rectangle test/desc
?php
srand((double) microtime() * 100); //initalizing random generator
for ($i = 0; $i 20; $i+=1) {
$x = floor(rand(0,$svgwidth-1)); //avoid getting a range 0..0 for rand
function
$y = floor(rand(0,$svgheight-1));
$width = floor(rand(0,$svgwidth-$x)); //avoid getting rect outside of
viewbox
$height = floor(rand(0,$svgheight-$y));
$red = floor(rand(0,255));
$blue = floor(rand(0,255));
$green = floor(rand(0,255));
$color = rgb(.$red.,.$green.,.$
blue.);
print \trect x=\$x\ y=\$y\ width=\$width\ height=\$height\
style=\fill:$color;\/\n;
}
?
text x=?php echo $svgwidth/2;?px y=300 style=font-size:15;
text-anchor=middleThe servers Date and Time is: ?php print
(strftime(%Y-%m-%d, %H:%M:%S)); ?/text

text-anchor=middleYou are running:/text
text x=?php echo $svgwidth/2;?px y=360 style=font-size:15;
text-anchor=middle?php print $HTTP_USER_AGENT; ?/text
/svg
If now I want to include the session_start() at the beginning of the code,
in IE I got a pop-up dialog called download file
What am I doing wrong ?
Regards,
Aurelie
It appears IE does not support svg yet and you need a plugin for it.
However, you could also design your code differently by using Imagemagick to
convert the svg to png.
If that suits your needs, then use the modified code below:
?php
header(Content-type: image/png);
$graph_title = 'title';
$svgwidth=500;
$svgheight=400;
$svg = '?xml version=1.0 encoding=iso-8859-1 standalone=no?
svg width='.$svgwidth.'px height='.$svgheight.'px
xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg;
descThis is a php-random rectangle test/desc';
for ($i = 0; $i 20; $i++) {
$x = floor(rand(0,$svgwidth-1));
$y = floor(rand(0,$svgheight-1));
$width = floor(rand(0,$svgwidth-$x));
$height = floor(rand(0,$svgheight-$y));
$red = floor(rand(0,255));
$blue = floor(rand(0,255));
$green = floor(rand(0,255));
$color = rgb(.$red.,.$green.,.$blue.);
$svg .= \trect x=\$x\ y=\$y\ width=\$width\ height=\$height\
style=\fill:$color;\/\n;
}
$svg .= 'text x='.($svgwidth/2).'px y=300 style=font-size:15;
text-anchor=middleThe servers Date and Time is: '.date(Y-m-d,

Re: [PHP] Back from the dead with a racing question!
I strongly believe you have nothing to worry about and I think you are over-thinking an issue that will never happen to you. Even if you have 2000 users, you will have nothing to worry about. I manage db's on large scales and have run into every problem I never imaginged and always figured out how to fix it. Throughout the years I have heard this particular issue come up among novices and the heard vaugue suggestions given from people with little experience. There is no way you are going to run across a race condition because queries that are waiting to be processes have the status of wait while a table is locked. Its basically put into a queue. You can use INSERT DELAYED to better manage this if you are using MYISAM if you experience a much higher volume of inserts. For apps that have a very high INSERT frequency, I suggest using INNODB so you won't experience table locking. For your case, you have only 10 users and that is absolutely nothing to worry about. If you are concerned about multiple users accessing a row of data at the same time, you will need to use INNODB and implement transactional queries. This assumes you are using mysql of course. If you are using mssql, then I cannot provide a good answer because I do not use that db. -Ray Solomon - Original Message - From: Jason Pruim ja...@jasonpruim.com To: PHP-General List php-general@lists.php.net Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 8:12 AM Subject: [PHP] Back from the dead with a racing question! Hi everyone! So some of you may have noticed that I have been away for quite awhile... Been trying to get settled (Moved across the country) and getting a job. And now that that is done I have a question about a project that I might be doing for my current employer and want to do it properly. If all goes through, I'll be writing an online database that upwards of 10 people will be using at various times through out the day. Basically, in a form they fill out a model number, customer name, phone number etc. etc.. And then submit the form. After submitting they need to write the log number on some paperwork. If I have 2 people submit the form at the same time, I'm thinking I could end up with a race condition and they might get the wrong log number (The log number is simply a consecutive record number) Do I need to be reading up on locking tables/rows? Or in my situation as I've briefly described it do I not have to worry about it? Or is there a third door with the magic bullet that will solve all my problems? :) Any advice is greatly appreciated as always, RTFMing is good as well, as long as M is defined :) I'm not afraid of google either, just need the right terms to hit it with so I don't go into search overload as the commercials for a rival search engine claim :) Thanks Everyone! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

and thus:
database server works - yes
user and login works locally - yes
user and login works remotely - yes
user and login works on box in question - yes
further debug:
do mysql connections work for any host at all in php? - todo
is the mysql module for php installed - todo check phpinfo() output
is error reporting enabled - todo set error_reporting to E_ALL
does a simple query such as show databases return any results
is query properly formatted and are variables properly replaced in php
version - todo check
I'd reckon that by the time you've checked all the above - you'll have
your own solution :)

Thanks Nathan!
I'm not sure what the problem was. I think I was tired and trying too
hard to solve an issue that didn't exist. I was thinking that
var_export($db_conn) would display MySQL Resource Id #1 or something
similar, but it was displaying NULL. I took out all my debugging code
and it's working fine now.

Yeah, I used it in my previous job a coupla years ago. It looks great, the marketing hype is well executed but as usual the reality is far from the promise. There are some aspects I really like, but mainly in concept. What you actually get is expensive extra bloat to install on your servers. * The bytecode cache can be replaced by one of several free solutions out there. * The job queue is a great idea but the implementation is problematic at best. Avoid this if you can. * The centralised logging and the alerting features are nice - this is probably the only but I really found useful. * The clustering features I did not use so didn't look at too closely, but it didn't appear to offer anything that couldn't be replicated pretty easily with open source tools. At the end of the day what you're buying is marketing hype, and there are people out there who fall for it hook line and sinker. My advice is that unless you have someone insisting you use ZP, don't. And even if you do I urge you to look at what you actually need from it and evaluate alternatives before making a commitment. Have you ever heard about Facebook, Yahoo or any other big player using it? Don't get me wrong, I think Zend is a great company, but I just don't see the value in ZP. For the price of the license you could add another server which will give you far better ROI and higher capacity then ZP could ever achieve. And don't get me started on what they've done to Zend Studio. I've switched to Aptana - same platform, but cheaper and a lot more stable. Shame! -Stut I agree with most of your post. The error logging features are great. I haven't used ZP for a while, but when I did it was nice to get an alert right away of what happened, and it also captured the variables in use at the time so that you could see why it happened. If the error reporting is what you're looking for, then the bytecode caching is a nice addition, but like you said there are OSS alternatives. I also completely agree with the Zend Studio comment.

Hi gang:
More of a question of method rather than of right or wrong -- of the
two methods mentioned here, which way would be better and why?
Initially I used to access global variables using the global keyword -
function foo()
{
global $bar;
}
However if the function code is a bit longer, it gets difficult to see
if $bar is still actually used, after some revisions.
So I switched to using $GLOBALS. Inside $GLOBALS I store variables,
arrays and initiated objects (for instance $DB, for database access) -
which I call -
$GLOBALS[DB]-connect;
I do not consider it polluting - it is there to be used. If your code
is part of something bigger, then you need a convention, and if you
convention supports this method, it's all right.
For some reason I do not like the :: operator, it's visually too

Re: [PHP] class? package?
If you are designing with OO principles, could you give an explanation of what is the difference classes and packages? A class is a language construct, classes are processed/executed by php. A package is an architectural approach - this is how you combine your code/classes. When I was summarizing the OO principles, that question confused me: http://phparch.cn/index.php/php/43-php-advanced-programming/170-principles-of-object-oriented-design If you try to follow all these principles, it might take very long before you write even a line of code ;) Take what you understand and leave the rest for later.

[PHP] Enterprise
I just read an interesting article about enterprise software. One of the most common arguments against PHP tends to be It's not enterprise ready. This article talks more about ruby, but it could be about any non-enterprise language as well. http://lists.canonical.org/pipermail/kragen-tol/2005-April/000772.html I recently got a new job at a hospital, and the enterprise software they have is no where near as high quality as it could/should be. This is my first job at a somewhat large organization (500+ employees) so I was kind of shocked at the state of their software.

Using file system level locks would require all possible file systems to be taken into account. And on top of that, the file systems are actively developed, so this is one more point to monitor, while maintaining the software. A less trouble free way is to create a file with the same name and extension .locked or similar, prior to read/write operations. Of course, this works only if the file is accessing only by one program, or if all programs accessing the file follow the same convention - but you should see that many file system level locks are advisory, as well.

[PHP] the class as a namespace
Is there a notion of the class as a namespace? My understanding is that the namespaces are intended to help organize the classes in large projects (and are not perfect). Is it considered good style to use a class simply to box related functions? For instance, a class called files, contains functions I need for dealing with files - and the instantiated object is _simply_ used to access these functions - the instantiated object is not a file in itself. Thus what I do is not $INSTANTIATED_OBJECT-save(), but $INSTANTIATED_OBJECT-save($file) (though I could do the first if I first, say, do $INSTANTIATED_OBJECT-file = $file. Accessing the functions using the scope resolution operator (::) avoids the need to instantiate an object, but does not allow the use of $this, and $this can be quite practical in order to group common logic into shared methods within the class and thus make the other methods smaller in terms of code (of course, one could use file::save, file::delete instead of $this-save and $this-delete, but it makes renaming objects more difficult).

Re: [PHP] Using SVN w/ Zend Studio for Eclipse
I do not want to copy the project into a new directory as the existing directory is where Apache's DocumentRoot is set. And although that's simple to change, I really don't think any IDE should mandate where I set my project's directory on the filesystem. I use PDT, and there is no problem to import a project from its current location. It might take you a while to exactly figure out how to do it, Eclipse is a bit organic in respect to the organization and working of the menus. Also, if I try to create a new project from an SVN Repository, it doesn't allow me to select what directory I want the code checked out in. This works very well with PDT and Subclipse. Otherwise I'd just cringe and let it overwrite what's in my existing document root, since that's all versioned code anyhow. If your current document root is a checked out svn project, PDT/Subclipse will see this, no need to overwrite anything. If any of you have run into similar frustrations, I'd love to hear it. So far I've spent the better part of the evening fiddling with extremely rudimentary features which no IDE in any programming environment I've ever worked with has imposed on me. Perhaps this thing isn't ready for mainstream yet, or perhaps I'm missing something obvious. Again, I work with PDT/Subclipse. Eclipse is simply too organic compared to what you are used to.

I can list tasks per status or all. order number is stored in mysql too. the easiest way to change order is to have form for each task where you will enter manually number and then submit (one submit button for whole form). but, if you change order number for any task you have to change then all order numbers below the task manually solution with arrows (or up/down buttons) where you click on arrow and the task switch the place with its neighbor is easy and fancy. Though, I get in trouble if, e.g. tasks 10, 11, 12, and 13 change status from 1 to 0 and I have to move task 14 to place 6. I have to click first 4 times (to switch places with tasks 13, 12, 11, and 10) - but nothing is actually happening on screen (of course) before start switching places with 9, 8, 7, and 6. how do you avoid this gap? what solution do you use at all? You have two different issues - a) how to execute the change, and b) what interface to provide. To execute the change, basically you have to reorder. The best algorithm is question of mathematics - you can implement something and improve it independently from the interface. As for the interface, the first is kind of the simplest, but somehow primitive. The second is a bit better, but you have noticed, not much better. The most elegant, considering the time we live in, would be drag drop AJAX (here - http://tool-man.org/examples/, there are excellent examples, perhaps there are more). It's also a question if tasks really need to be reordered manually. If all tasks have a deadline, you might sort them by date. If some don't, you can provide them unsorted, until they get one. Sorting tasks by moving them up/down works when you have 25 tasks, but it does not work when you have 50, 100, 1 000 (if you are a team leader and have 5-7 people team) - in that case sort by date might be better.

Re: [PHP] why use {} around vraiable?

does it really matter? is there really difference or these are just two

The brackets are used to enforce that the entire contents between them
is a variable. It helps when you're using class members.
$example = this is an {$example-text};
It's also handy when you're putting variables in a heredoc.
I would suggest not using {$_POST[param1]}, like you said. It's
just going to make PHP figure out the string, then put the value in that
string. If you really wanted to make sure it's a string type then you
can do (string)$_POST['param1'].
The short answer is you can do it the way you're doing and everything
will work out just fine :)

[PHP] Closures
I've been reading up on some of the parts of PHP that has been suggested could be improved so that I could be more well informed. One of the more interesting (for lack of a better word) suggestions is closures. I've used closures primarily in JavaScript, and they are handy in that context, but JavaScript handles events and other more dynamic situations like that. I can't really think of any good examples of why I'd want to use a closure instead of just calling functions or class methods in PHP. Variable functions and call_user_func*() have worked for any of the cases where I did need to be a bit more dynamic. I found a great summary of some discussion on the internals mailing list over here: http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/2013#Heading1 After reading that article through, I do like Wez's idea of how to create anonymous functions. The point about it causing confusion with people coming from other languages definitely applies though. This article also gives me a second idea for this post. How many people would want closures in PHP? In summary: Would you want closures in PHP, and why? -- Ray Hauge www.primateapplications.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

if we were going to see support for anything anonymous that i would

I'm not sure if this would solve your problem (my lack of java knowledge
is showing), but you can create objects either by creating a new
stdClass() object, or by using (object)NULL. Example:
?php
$object = (object) NULL;
$object-test1 = 1;
$object-test2 = 2;
echo $object-test1 . \n;
echo $object-test2;
?
After trying to add a way to call a function from an object variable, I
have come to the conclusion that it's kinda ugly.
?php
$obj = (object) NULL;
$obj-test = 2;
$obj-myTestFunc = myTestFunc;
function myTestFunc () {
return test;
}
echo call_user_func($obj-myTestFunc) . $obj-test;
?
Does anyone have a link to some documentation about the stdClass? All I
could find was a bunch of bug reports and other stuff that wasn't what I
was looking for. I would have thought there'd be a page for it in the
manual, but I didn't find one there either.

Re: [PHP] Objects as array key names??
Jim Lucas wrote:
This question should probably be directed at the PHP Internals list, but
I thought I would start by asking here first if anybody would even use
this feature.
It has been brought to my attention that with Perl and Ruby, you can use
Objects as the value of the key within an array. The examples that were
shown to me make me think that this would be an awesome ability to have
within PHP.
Here is an example of how I would use such a feature.
I have a table of customers.
I have a table customers contact_locations.
This table has a reference ID back to the customers table.
Now, in my array of information that I build I have this.
$res = query('Select c_id, c_first_name, c_last_name FROM customers');
$customers = array();
while ( $row = fetch_assoc($res) ) {
$customers[$row]['contact_locations'] = array();
$SQL = SELECT *
FROM contact_locations
WHERE c_id={$row['c_id']};
$loc_res = query($SQL);
while ( $loc_row = fetch_assoc($loc_res) ) {
$customers[$row]['contact_locations'][] = $loc_row;
}
}
Now, contained within one array $customers I have all the information
that would be needed for displaying any type of information related to a
customer or a customers location.
By doing having this feature, I could build the ability to do xPath
searches within the base array. That would be nice.
Anyways, what do you all think? Worth it or not?
Jim Lucas
Maybe I don't get the new concept, but what would be wrong with:
// START CODE //
$cid = null;
$customers = array();
while ( $row = fetch_assoc($res) ) {
$cid = $row['cid'];
$customers[$cid] = $row;
$customers[$cid]['contact_locations'] = array();
$SQL = SELECT *
FROM contact_locations
WHERE c_id={$cid};
$loc_res = query($SQL);
while ( $loc_row = fetch_assoc($loc_res) ) {
$customers[$cid]['contact_locations'][] = $loc_row;
}
}
// END CODE //
Now you can easily reference all of your customers by ID and get any of
the data you want. I would actually just load the record I want from
the database and not chew up all that memory, but this is just an
example anyway.
I guess it could allow you to somewhat consolidate a two-dimensional
array down to a single dimension. In order to use the data, you'd have
to use array_keys() or something similar to use it though.
It's an interesting idea, but I don't know how practical it would be.

Thanks, Dan Dan, I can tell you that depending on the size of your files is going to dictate the route you want to go. I have a CSV with 568,000+ lines with 19 different pieces to each line. The files are around 180M apiece and it takes my server about 2 seconds to run a system grep against the files. I can run a recursive call 7 times against a MySQL database with the same information and it takes it about 4 seconds. IF you have system call ability, a grep wouldn't be bad, otherwise I'd suggest loading the csv files into MySQL tables and checking them for the information, then dropping the tables when you get the next files. You can backup the databases such as a cron job overnight even. HTH, Wolf If you do go the MySQL route, MySQL can import CSV files natively, and it'll be a lot faster than doing it through PHP. Just look up the syntax for the LOAD DATA INFILE command... or look here. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/load-data.html Here's an example: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/importfile.csv' INTO TABLE test_table FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (field1, filed2, field3); I've had to do imports of a million or more records from CSV files, and PHP is a lot slower than MySQL at importing them :) -- Ray Hauge www.primateapplications.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Oh, it might also be a bit easier to store the acceptable extensions in
an array before the IF statement
$ext = $this-getFileExtension($file);
$acceptableExtensions = array('png', 'gif', 'jpg');
if ( in_array($ext, $acceptableExtensions) ) {

That way the conditional doesn't grow as more and more values get added.

We're a bunch of helpful and flippant sods on this list, so take the
criticism as constructive (trim your own sig file down and remove the white

As for automatic CVS via PHP, it depends on your take on it...
Eclipse has a CVS piece to it which seems to work well (I've installed it,
but most of my stuff is layered and I don't have a reason for CVS), though
someone also posted about cruisecontrol on the sourceforge site.
What have you found and tried via a google search?
Wolf
Maybe look at Phing[1]? Skimming over the docs (I know you said you
use CVS) I saw a task you can define to check files out form SVN.
There might be a cvs one somewhere or you could extend it and write
your own.
[1] http://phing.info/
Another option would be to write your own. If your requirements are
super specific, then that might be the best route. I can't imagine it
would be too difficult.
You can use shell_exec to execute the CVS checkout, and any other CVS
command necessary. Don't forget to use escapeshellcmd() either:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.escapeshellcmd.php
After it's checked out, then you can use shell_exec() again to run the
compile command. If it takes a long time, you might be best just
sending the command to the output so you can copy and paste and run it
yourself, or just make sure you set_time_limit(0), or some amount of
time it should finish compiling in.
I assume it's an internal app, so you wouldn't have to worry too much
about it looking pretty or any of the other time consuming operations.
?php
//
// NOTE: Paths are for Linux. Change for Windows as necessary
//
$cmd = escapeshellcmd('/usr/bin/cvs -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/.../cvsroot
checkout module');
$output = shell_exec($cmd);
// do something with output if you need
$cmd = escapeshellcmd('/path/to/module/configure');
$output = shell_exec($cmd);
echo done!;
?
Something like that anyway. That's overly simplified of course, but it
should get you a start if you want to write it yourself.
