Re: [PHP] Better DB Class MySQL
// Terminator Style Function simply in coolness
public function Terminator($tbl) {
}
Terminator? Is this something I don't know about or is it simply a
method that goes around killing other methods?
Anyhoo, you may want to look at this:
http://www.phpguru.org/article.php?ne_id=121
http://www.phpguru.org/pear_db_replacement/
It's a MySQL only database wrapper that mimics the PEAR::DB API, (which
is, as I've been reminded a million times (roughly), obsolete), but is
one sixth the size. Important if one of of your goals is speed. You
could say if your goal is speed why use a wrapper at all? But it has the
following advantages:
1. If you start off with PEAR::DB (for example) and then need to squeeze
extra performance out of your site, the database wrapper is a good
place to start (since it is generally used a lot).
2. It has useful methods (ie the get* methods) which speed up
development time greatly.
3. I thought of others, but then subsequently forgot them. Doh.

Re: [PHP] PHP Source code protection
accept the fact that it may get pirated. It may do. But there's nothing wrong with making it as hard as possible to do so. Most people have better things to do than try to reverse engineer a piece of code. Consider: 1. People who buy code will generally do so to solve a problem that they have in the process of making money. 2. Reverse engineering takes time, and therefore diverts their attention away from the process of making money. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and Helpdesk software for £299 hosted for you - no installation, no maintenance, new features automatic and free ** New Helpdesk demo now available ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Does that mean for every exception do we have to write
our custom exception and describe it from our own

If you mean Do I have to write custom exception classes?, the no. You
could just use the PHP Exception class.
Eg.
class DBException extends Exception {}
try {
$connection = mysql_connect(...);
if (!$connection) {
throw new DBException('Failed to connect to database');
}
// Database exception handling code
} catch (DBException $e) {
// ...
// Generic Exception handling code (The Exception c
} catch Exception $e {
// ...
}
That's from memory, so there may be a few errors.

Re: [PHP] Effecient mass mailings
I've always personally hated receiving email with large attachments, preferring instead to get links to the content on the web. Plus, that cuts down on the bandwidth the server (as well as mailservers, gateways, et cetera) are responsible for handling, because the PDFs or other attachments would only be downloaded by those who really wanted to have them. However, I know nothing about the business model with which Robert is working, so it may be neither applicable or optional in his case. No it's another perfectly viable option. Click here to view a HTML version of this email links I would say no, but for files, then why not? Also prevents pissing off the user by not having to download the attachment if they're not interested in it (and assuming it will be base64 encoded as most attachments are, don't forget it will grow in size by a third). -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and Helpdesk software for £299 hosted for you - no installation, no maintenance, new features automatic and free -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Schedule tasks from server
your code should be portable Except in reality, it probably isn't. Off the top of my head, think file paths. Which is why I mentioned the exec() family. Otherwise, relative paths for includes will work regardless of the slash style (*nix / vs Windows \) preferred by the OS. Or is my as-still non-caffeinated brain missing something obvious here this morning? Well exec() et-al aren't the only thing that use paths.

Re: [PHP] Effecient mass mailings
I a currently re-writing a web app from ASP to PHP and have come to the part where the app sends mass mailings to their customer base. This has always been problematic for them with the existing setup and I am looking for the best approach. While I've setup mailings with PHP, never such mass mailings. They will be using a web form to send sometimes 2-5MB attachments to thousands of customers to advertise new products with PDF's, etc. Using their Windows IIS SMTP virtual server smarthost function, I send their mail off-site to our postfix mail gateway, but it still bogs down and I'm sure a remote server is not the answer, but still better than the errors they receive trying to use localhost and IIS. Once the re-write, the app will be on to a Linux box where I can do some tweaking to these and hope localhost will work better for these mailings. Can someone give some pointers at how I may want to approach such mass mailings? Thanks in advance! If you have attachments, you could use one or more cheap remote servers and Bcc: the recipients. Or use the local mail gateway. Bcc:ing will cut down on the amount of the amount of actual data transferred to the mail server; you can send to say 100 recipients at once but only transfer the attachment data once. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and Helpdesk software for £299 hosted for you - no installation, no maintenance, new features automatic and free -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Redirecting STDERR to a file?
C would be the last resort. I suppose it would be easily done in Perl, but most of my colleagues prefer PHP. I love to make taking over the code easy, so PHP is more preferable to me. That makes perfect sense, but sometimes PHP is not the best/right answer. What I think you need to do is: parent: fork() your child process, then do whatever. child:use proc_open to call your program and redirect stderr. That's kind of odd, but seems to be the only way to workaround this... Thanks for you help. Having come to this rather late, I recently wrote some code that may be of some help to you which forks processes: http://www.phpguru.org/downloads/pcntl/ You need pcntl and it only works on *nix (I understand).

Re: [PHP] SMTP vs mail()
Assuming you're talking delivery to a local MTA (which will subsequently do the remote delivery), is speed really important? For the amount of email I'm looking at (1000s, growing), yes. Hmm, that's not quite what I was thinking of. The amount of emails to be delivered does not in my opinion affect how fast it needs to happen. Your local MTA will take a while to deliver those emails anyway, so the time from script to user is mostly dependent on that, which means you're left with reducing the time from script to MTA. If you need to finish the script fast (in order for some user-intercation to continue perhaps), I would would just detach the script and carry on. Sorry, yes the time of delivery is not so important as the time to pump the messages to the MTA. As long as the MTA has them and they get delivered in a reasonable time frame I'm happy. The application is all about mail delivery and the script has to return immediately, so I'll be launching a separate process to insert the addresses into a minimal mail_queue table in my db, and then a 5 minutely cron script which will pass them to the MTA. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Note - this was one call to mail(): mail(user1,user2,user3 ..,subject,text); Granted, but as long as the email stays the same size when you compare mail() and something like SMTP, I wouldn't imagine the relative speeds varying significantly. Or maybe they would, I'll compare and see. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] PHP shell commands
Some php applications store database passwords into files which can be read by the user www-data. So, a malicious user which can write php scripts could read those passwords. What should I do to prevent users from viewing those passwords? You could encode your file(s) using something like the Zend Encoder. This turns them into byte code IIRC, so it's hard (not totally impossible I think) to get the clear text. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] SMTP vs mail()
Bearing in mind I haven't yet done any benchmarks, which do you think is faster - SMTP with multiple RCPT commands or the PHP mail() function (with it launching a separate sendmail process for each mail() function call)? No brainer, SMTP will almost certainly be faster. My mailing list system (written in PHP obviously) can dump 600k customised emails to the local SMTP server in a couple of hours. Doing the same with the mail command took over 24 hours. How much slower will depend a lot on how you have configured sendmail, but it's never going to be faster than a socket connection to the local SMTP server.

Re: [PHP] Just to confirm...
I wish I could block IE users. They almost are more trouble than they are worth. Luckily only about 20% of my users still use IE6. :p Technically you can, not that I can understand why you would want to block what is the most popular browser out there. My personal sites stats show that IE makes up roughly 37-40% of users, and being a technically orientated site they probably aren't representative of the Interweb at large, for that you might be better looking at thecounter.com (http://www.thecounter.com/stats/).

It initially started to try to stop cURL, wget, Lynx, and other

know that headers can be spoofed, but that's a different topic. I try

Re: [PHP] Opinion about the using $GLOBALS directly
I always store database handler in $GLOBALS.
I think that's the best place to save request-level-global.
I wonder where other people save that kind of data.
how about a static variable inside a function or a static member of a class.
e.g.
function getDB($args) {
static $conn = array();
$key = serialize($args);
if (!isset($conn[ $key ])
$conn[ $key ] = new DBConn($args);
return $conn[ $key ];
}
That's surprisingly similar to how I do it. Then it's a simple matter to
call getDB() (which you can do no matter what the current scope is) to
get the database object.

Re: [PHP] Mysqli support - test or complain? [SOLVED]
You use a session variable for that? Why not? That's entirely the wrong place to store something like which database API is installed. Not really. You could even wrap a function called (for example) Feature() around it. It should a class variable or global configuration variable. Heck, I'd say it's more appropriate to do extension_loaded( 'mysqli' ) on every call than to use a session variable. Why? It's very unlikely to be changing between calls. And even if it does, it's once in a blue moon. Granted though, I can't see it being a particularly intensive function call, so I can't see the harm in calling it on every invocation. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Mysqli support - test or complain? [SOLVED]
So? It's there - use it. So are cookies, would you stuff this into a cookie? No, because that's not what cookies are there for. Not because it's not what cookies are for - but because sessions are a more efficient and easier to use storage medium. You could potentially be pointlessly duplicating that data hundreds or thousands of times depending on how busy your site is. Well as always, if that's a concern then more thought would be required. But storage constraints are rarely a concern nowadays. Also, in this particular example there is no need to cache that information beyond the request level because asking PHP for it is not an expensive operation, or at the very least is no more expensive than maintaining it in a session. Granted. One other thing to note is that putting it in the session will survive a rebuild of PHP to add/remove modules and a restart of the web server. It's probably not likely to happen but that could seriously break your application. Then use the function directly. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Mysqli support - test or complain? [SOLVED]
I don't see a reason to compromise. It would take no longer to call extension_loaded on each page request than it will to put the variable in the session. You're right in saying that there's a balance to be struck, but in this particular case I personally see a right way and a wrong way and no compromise needed to do it properly. I think the discussion has moved beyond extension_loaded(), but in that case, yes, personally I would use extension_loaded() directly. Probably in a factory type function which returns the appropriate type of object. I couldn't care less what your domain name is, you're still advocating a poor choice IMHO. Practical though. And I'm conscientious as far as business allows. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Mysqli support - test or complain?
One is based on the assumption that mysqli is as likely not to be available as it is to be installed. In this case I should write my scripts to test whether it exists and then use either mysqli or straight mysql commands as appropriate. If this is the way to go, what do I do to test for the existence of mysqli from within a PHP script? The other is to assume that recent installs and upgrades of PHP 5 should have mysqli because that's the currently preferred way of doing things, and therefore I should contact the web host and ask that they install it, or I find a different host. Which assumption should I be proceeding with? You can: 1. Change your program to use the much more common mysql extension and forget about mnysqli for the time being (this is what I would do). You can switch to mysqli when its use becomes prevalent. 2. State that mysqli is required and not change anything (not advisable) 3. Alter your program to support both - use mysqi if it's avilable, mysql if it's not. If you use an API and not the mysqli functions directly this won't be too much hassle. Your last option to to assume that it's installed is very bad indeed. You shouldn't ever make assumptions, particularly when your dealing with software distributions. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Mysqli support - test or complain?
How exactly do I test for the presence of mysqli from within a script? IIRC there's a function called extension_loaded(). Or something similar. Or are you saying I have two different versions of my script? Not at all. Taking PEAR::DB for example, you could test for the existence of mysqli, and use one DSN if it's there. If not, use another.

How far into the future your calendar allow events to recur will depend at least in part on how you intend to store them.

Stipulating an event to be daily could be as simple as a 0 or 1 flag. So where's the storage concern? The storage concern comes if you opt to store one copy of the event for every day for as long as the event recurs. Why? Perhaps you want to provide the ability to alter the time of a specific instance of a recurring event (or delete one instance altogether) without changing the other instances. So you could have a table which contains events, and a table which contains exceptions. Simple and minimal storage requirements. Since exceptions will be, as their name suggests, exceptional, storage requirements will be small. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Stipulating an event to be daily could be as simple as a 0 or 1 flag. So where's the storage concern? You could also store a single event record that includes the rules for recurrence and then calculate the dates of each instance as needed, but that could get pretty CPU intensive. (I'm assuming you want to stick with simple periodic recursion, not more complex things like the date for Easter or events that don't have any set pattern.) I really don't see anything CPU intensive about this. At most you're going to be storing some set dates that the event should occur on. Nothing CPU intensive about that. I know this probably muddies your original question even further, but I'll say again -- there is not much simple when it comes to calendars. Calendars can be simple, or they can account for a lot and be complex. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Calendar
I'm about to add some simple calendar functions to my application, and I'm thinking of how I should implement recurring events. Are there one standard way most people use that works well? I guess you have some kind of emitter event that creates the recurring events and a group id that holds the events together. How long forward does one usually create the events. Two-three years...? Sorry if I'm a bit blury. But any ideas on recurring events are welcome. I guess I could just hack something together, but it would be fun to do it right. If you're on Unix you will need a cron job that runs every x minutes. That could check a database for jobs/tasks that need running, using the current time and an option like run this job every 10 minutes to determine what needs running, (ie in that case if the current time isn't divisible by ten then don't run it). -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] calculate a varchar
Is there a calculation function? I'm using an e-commerce shopping cart. I want to tweak the code. The author is using a varchar(100) field to store prices. Taking advantage of there being a varchar, instead of entering a price, I would like to enter a calculation. (24*2.2)+(24*2.2*.1) 24 is my unit price in British pounds. 2.2 is the exchange rate into Canadian dollars. etc. The exchange rate changes frequently. Instead of recalculating and entering a new price every few days, it would be useful to enter a calculation in any price field. I had a look at: http://ca3.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=calc http://ca3.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=calculate http://ca3.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=calculation but I see no function, although I'm sure there is one. So how could I do this? $price = (24*2.2)+(24*2.2*.1); if $price is not an integer, verify if it is a calculation. If so, give me an integer and round it off to two decimal points: $price = 58.08; You may want to look at eval(). -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] include config.php does not work anymore after PHP 5.2
I never never thought my config.php might have problem. I have used this config.php for almost 6 years and never had problem (the first time I have forgotten to add it 6 years ago because I had migrated from ASP. I have copied this wrong config.php to some other projects. Have you ever migrated from PHP 4.x to PHP 5.x? This is a major upgrade so you should expect things to stop working.

Re: [PHP] URL Parsing...
one of these should give you something to go on:
echo preg_replace('\.cfm$', '-meta.cfm', parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],
PHP_URL_PATH)), \n;
echo preg_replace('\.cfm$', '-meta.cfm', $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']), \n;
echo preg_replace('\.cfm$', '-meta.cfm', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']), \n;
Anything would be helpful. :)
You don't need the overhead of PCRE, though it is the fastest to write,
since it's already above for you...
Or parse_url(). basename(__FILE__) will get you the filename.

Re: [PHP] Logic Help please
Hi, I am doing an online calendar for holiday application. Now I got a table with these fields among many others. `req_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `req_date` date NOT NULL, `username` varchar(100) NOT NULL, `start_date` date NOT NULL, `end_date` date NOT NULL, `days_off` int(11) NOT NULL, With start_date is something like [ 1 - 10 - 2007 ] and end_date is like [ 20 - 10 -2007 ]. I am thinking whats the best way to present such data ? and how to show overlapping days between users ? Something like: Jan Feb 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 ... + Richard|o o o o o o o o Fred|x x o o o o o o Mohamed|o o o x x o o o With HTML you could use colours to represent days/weeks off making it more apparent, eg. nothing/white for no holiday booked, and red for one booked. And if you're going to go to the day granularity, an IFRAME might be needed with left/right scrolling. -- Richard Heyes +44 (0)800 0213 172 http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] freeing resourses after the end of the session
I made a image validation code, wich generate a image every time the user enters a page. The name of the image uses the session id, and I save it in a temporary directory. When the user close the browser (or leave the site) I would have to delete the image (or else I will start to have many garbage images in the temp directory). Is there any way to do that?

Re: [PHP] Looking for a navigation recommendation
I'm working on a project wherein I need to be able to navigate to previous and next sections of data. I'm wondering what the best way to code for this would be. When I enter the page, I'd like it to use something in the MySQL SELECT such as LIMIT 0,25, but the 0 portion needs to change with the appropriate selections of Next or Prev. I thought that setting Next or Prev as an anchor back to the same page would let me pass along data, but it doesn't seem to be happening, at least, not in the $_POST variables. Any suggestions for me? Or maybe a recommendation for a similar page I could view and learn from? The PEAR Pager class can do this for you. Together with the Pager_Sliding package it works very well. http://pear.php.net/package/Pager -- Richard Heyes +44 (0)800 0213 172 http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Generating sequence of AlphaNumber
I am having trouble generating a sequence of numbers from the following start
value:
AX0001
what I have done so far is loop through each character and check if its a
alphabet and separating the characters and digits.
But when I increment the digits, its strips of the leading zeros. How can I
get a sequence of values like:
AX0001
AX0002
AX0003
AX0004
.
AX0099
AX0100
and so on ?

for ($i=0; $i=100; $i++) {
echo 'AX' . sprintf('%04d', $i) . 'br /';

[PHP] PHP installation
Hi,
Trying to install PHP, however it's failing with the following:
Configuring extensions
checking whether to enable LIBXML support... yes
checking libxml2 install dir... /usr/lib64
checking for xml2-config path... /usr/bin/xml2-config
checking whether libxml build works... no
configure: error: build test failed. Please check the config.log for
details.
The following is in config.log:
configure:20028: checking whether libxml build works
configure:20055: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c
-lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lxml2 -lz -lm 15
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 20044 configure
#include confdefs.h
char xmlInitParser();
int main() {
xmlInitParser();
return 0;
}
If it helps, this is a bit of an `ls -l` of /usr/lib64:
libxml2.so - libxml2.so.2.6.27
libxml2.so.2 - libxml2.so.2.6.27
libxml2.so.2.6.19
libxml2.so.2.6.27
And this is what's at the end of my config.log:
configure:19793: checking whether to enable LIBXML support
configure:19841: checking libxml2 install dir
configure:19870: checking for xml2-config path
configure:20028: checking whether libxml build works

configure: failed program was:
#line 20044 configure
#include confdefs.h
char xmlInitParser();
int main() {

}
Thanks.
