Re: [PHP] Dynamic function calls within the echo function, possible?
I know this isn't solving your problem, but here is how I do it:
class RowAlternator
{
private $on;
private $off;
private $state;
function RowAlternator($on = On, $off = Off)
{
$this-on = $on;
$this-off = $off;
}
function switchState()
{
$this-state = !$this-state;
}
function Next()
{
$this-switchState();
return $this-Current();
}
function Current()
{
if ($this-state)
return $this-on;
return $this-off;
}
}
then...
using CSS style attributes:
$row = new RowAlternator(background-color: #EDEDED;, background-color:
#FF;);
$i = 10;
while ($i--)
{
echo tr style=' . $row-Next() . 'tdHello/td/tr;
}
or using CSS Class definitions
$row = new RowAlternator();
$i = 10;
while ($i--)
{
echo tr class=' . $row-Next() . 'tdHello/td/tr;
}
as far as dynamically calling functions in echo.. why not do this:
$row = 'row_color';
echo sprintf('%sbr /%sbr /%s', $row(), $row(), $row());
or something
btw, defining parameters like so: o=null
only works in PHP 5.

Well that could work, but i want to re call it every time it finds the
occurance of $row
if you said $row = row_color();
then echo $rowbr$rowbr$row;
it would output the content of $row1 three times.
Because $row =row_color calls it, defines the returned value of row_color as
the contents of it, and never calls it again. I need it to dynamicly call it
every time around.
[/snip]
Top posting == bad
replying off list == bad
Then loop through the rows with either a for loop or while loop.
while(TRUE === $row){
echo row_color($row) . br;

Re: [PHP] Re: Templates Are Driving me Nuts
The template system I use is extremely simple.
Template.php:
?php
class Template
{
var $Items;
var $_document;
function Template($document)
{
$this-Items = array();
$this-_document = $document;
}
function Render()
{
echo $this-ToString();
}
function ToString()
{
$template = $this-Items;
ob_start();
require($this-_document);
return ob_get_clean();
}
}
?
and to use it?
templates/index.html:
html
head/head
body
Hello ?=$template['name']?, it is currently ?=$template['time']?
/body
/html
index.php:
?php
include_once('Template.php');
$template = new Template('./templates/index.html');
$template-Items['name'] = 'User';
$template-Items['time'] = date('d M Y', time());
$template-Render();
?
why use it?
Because you keep your html and your php code separate. That is the
goal when using any templating system.

RE: [PHP] PHP Encoders and GPL License
As far as I understand it, the GPL License states that the source code of any product created from an open source solutions, or is derived from the work of an open solutions, must be made availabe to all users. no. Any modifications made to the PHP source code must be made available to anyone who wants it. It does not cover programs, applications, websites, created with the programming language. They are covered under their own license (of the authors choosing). If you created an application, enocoded it, but had made modifications to existing PHP engine code, or even PHP scripting code from other sources, you would have to include unencoded versions of said scripts, and also provide the PHP source (or just your modifications, imported via patch or whatever) to anyone who wants it. I'm not sure what the deal is with your own custom PHP extensions. I think once again, extensions are separate programs, and up to the individual to specify the licensing terms.

RE: [PHP] Re: Php's future with Asp .NET?
I think that the developers of PHP know exactly where they want PHP to sit in the big bad world of .NET/J2EE. The whole reason the dotnet and java extensions have been written for PHP, is to allow PHP to talk to java/net objects, but more importantly, have PHP act as the front end, and .NET/J2EE do the business logic. I can't remember where I read it, but one of the PHP developers was mentioning that part of the modifications to ZE2 and its object handling, was to enable better interactione with Java and .NET. It will be more interesting once the Mono project reaches v1.0. Then you will have a .NET runtime on Unix environments, as well as ASP.NET, and the argument that 'ASP.NET is windows only' will cease to exist. There will always be a place for PHP in the web world. As an application engine, and as a frontend to other languages (Just look at what yahoo are doing with PHP) The 'ASP vs PHP' threads will still continue.

I have very little ASP experiance, but that has cost me the oppertinity to apply for several well-paying jobs, as there is very few PHP positions around - I'm speaking for the UK market here.

its cool , i cant remember where i saw the reference , but it was claiming
to prefix the functions with underscores to denote private functions in php
4 for the rollover of php5, it was a pretty legit resource i cant remember
where though have too many bookmarks, oh well at least i know now , i think
it meant to underscore them , to make the private functions recognisable so
then the rewrite for the proper OO in php5 can be easy as adding private
where the underscores are ??, i gave 5 a test, compiled with no problems
except my ming extension didnt seem to load properly so will stick with for
4.3 for now.
aparantly its still not true OO as you have to add the constructor of the
base class inside the sub class constructor where other languages dont need
to do this, i was told from my c++ flatmate of mine but correct me if i'm
wrong but sadly i dont know much c++ apart from modding source code now and

Not sure what you mean by 'changed', but the way to denote private
functions is by adding 'private' to the method declaration, and not by
prefixing them with _.
You can do it using:
class bar {
private function foo()
{
...
}
...
};

RE: [PHP] Permission Denied
I'm assuming you are using IIS.
If your harddrive is formatted using NTFS, you are going to have to add a
new entry to the ACL list for the directory to let the IUSR_machinename
account access the directory.
There are plenty of readmes/articles on managing NTFS permissions. I don't
have time to go into the details of how to do it, only to tell you that that
is what you have to do.
BTW; By default Windows XP (If thats what you are using) enables Simple
Sharing/File Permisisons. To turn that off
in Windows Explorer;
Tools | Folder Options | View | (Scroll Right Down to bottom) Use simple
sharing -- untick

Yes, I just added it but same error:
Warning: mkdir(c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpiw\packs\bob) [function.mkdir]:
Permission denied in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpiw\classes\class.cp.php on line
28
Here's the part where I try and make the folder:
function do_dir($package) {
umask(0);
if(mkdir($this-currentfolder().'packs\\bob', 0777)) {
return true;
} else {
echo 'There is already a package by the name of '.$package.'! Delete
it and try again.brbr';
return false;
}
}
Any ideas?

RE: [PHP] Re: Source Guardian
Keep in mind the Works out of the box with no changes to your server requires the use of the function dl() according to the PHP docs; dl() is not supported in multithreaded Web servers. Use the extensions statement in your php.ini when operating under such an environment. However, the CGI and CLI build are not affected ! I haven't tested wether it actually works with servers such as IIS/Apache2, and given its not supported, perhaps it works, but could have weird results after the so/dll has been loaded after the millionth time. user contributed notes off of the PHP site: the function dl() is not supported on Multithreaded systems like Windows XP. You need an external library for it, that has to be loaded when your server does. If not, you will get a fatal error and the script will stop parsing. -Original Message- From: michael kimsal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, 11 January 2003 2:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Christopher Ditty Subject: [PHP] Re: Source Guardian Christopher Ditty wrote: Does anyone here use Source Guardian? I am about to purchase it and thought I'd ask before I do. Any problems using it? Thanks CDitty Hello. We've used it to create demos. It does work, but is being surpassed by other options (at the time we purchased, it was the cheapest option, but it's not anymore). They seem to have updated their site some - $150 for 'just' the obfuscator is a bit much, and the obfuscation portion was, I thought, pretty poor. If you relied at all on globals, or ever used 'extract' on arrays coming from form input, it was useless. We don't rely on globals, but we do rely on form array extraction sometimes - completely wasted when the system would 'obfuscate' your code. Reason being: ? echo $myName; ? becomes ? echo $uu7whfdsisdf; ? But if you've got a form with input type='text' name='foo[bar]' You can't do ? extract($_POST['foo']); echo $bar; ? and expect it to work, because the obfuscation will turn it into: ? extract($_POST['foo']); echo $uu7whfdsisdf; ? I wrote them and told them it was fairly pointless, atleast for systems large/advanced enough that you'd consider wanting to protect them in the first place. They didn't seem to have much on their site before about how to get new .so and .dll files for newer versions of PHP (they bundle .so and .dll files for each version of PHP - 4.1.0, 4.1.1, etc). Also, the support for working 'out of the box' with no need to fiddle with the php.ini file was useful. Ioncube's encoder answer requires your users to install the appropriate .so or .dll file in a particular directory, or to edit php.ini - not as useful for giving out demos. Ioncube is making an effort to move in that 'ease of use' direction, but it doesn't seem to be there just yet. Having said that, the ioncube answer offers a greater level of security for the encrypted code - the sourceguardian stuff is, last I checked, 'just' encrypted source code. zend and ioncube package encrypted byte code. If someone decrypts zend-encoded files, they'll only get bytecode. If they decrypt sourceguardian code, they get the original code. This was how it was last summer - they may have upgraded since then. All in all, it's not bad. That the files now can be run on Windows servers is a plus, but lack of a command line version to allow for dynamic encryption from a server isn't all that good. If you *need* that, you'll need to find something else. Why? The 'time limiting' aspect, for starters - you can set a 'timeout' for a particular date. Unless you put up a new trial file on a site every day, you won't be able to offer '14 day' trials, for a start. The file will timeout on date X, regardless of when the user downloaded it. The Zend license manager is much more flexible in that regard, but is overkill for most smaller projects. Does this help at all?

Anyone know why this is happening? I have mySQL on Win2000 Server with IIS

It couldn't get any simpler. I just installed mySQL on my machine and am
trying to see what I can do with it giving Win2K and IIS.
AUGH! Thanx

[PHP] something annoying about includes/relative paths.
Moving to PHP from an ASP backgroun, I always found one thing really
annoying about PHP.
With ASP, you could have a file structure such as:
SYSTEM
|--HTML
| |--header.asp
|
|--LOGIC
| |--engine.asp
|
|--core.asp
in default.asp, you would
!--#include file=system/core.asp--
in core.asp, engine.asp would be included as such
!--#include file=LOGIC/engine.asp--
in engine.asp, header.asp would be included as such
!--#include file=../HTML/header.asp--
Its a bad example. However, it demonstrates that the relative path for each
include changed depending on what file was being included.
PHP doesn't do that. Which is kind of annoying, but you get used to it.. But
I've come up with a work around.
htdocs/index.php
include('./system/core.php');
htdocs/system/core.php
define('CORE_PATH', str_replace('core.php', '', __FILE__));
include(CORE_PATH.'logic/engine.php');
htdocs/system/logic/engine.php
include(CORE_PATH.'html/header.php');
and so on and so forth. searching for __FILE__, and removing the filename
from the output, gives you a sort of relative path hack.
Hope someone finds that useful

well upon reading user comments in manual, looks like the only solution is
to dump variables into an array, and pass the array to a function with a

So no dynamic includes for ASP. Ofcourse there are other features that PHP has that ASP does not, and vice versa.

Because of isset(), you can get input and display output using the same page. However, this would result in security loop holes. Whereas for ASP, without the isset() keyword, ASP structures are usually made up of at least 2 pages. One for receiving input and the other for display the result, output.

[PHP] undocumented OOP feature/bug?
Consider the following code...
class A
{
function Go()
{
switch (isset($this))
{
case true: echo 'Called Dynamicallybr /'; break;
case false: echo 'Called Staticallybr /'; break;
}
}
}
class B
{
function Go()
{
A::Go();
}
}
A::Go();
$a = new A();
$a-Go();
B::Go();
$b = new B();
$b-Go();
My understanding is that the output should be:
Called Statically
Called Dynamically
Called Statically
Called Statically
Yet the output is actually:
Called Statically
Called Dynamically
Called Statically
Called Dynamically
Now my question is, is this what was intended?
It seems that if you call a static class from within a dynamic instance of a
class, the static class then decides $this should reference the class from
which the static class was called
Anyone else come across this?
It could be useful, but right now, its bloody annoying! I need a class to be
called from within another clas, and it needs to know wether it has had an
instance created, or wether it is being statically called, and now I'll have
to write some kludge code instead...

[PHP] Some discoveries I've made. Anyone care to confirm/deny
Three different topics, perhaps suited to three seperate emails, but I'll
cover them all in one.
Firstly, something regarding accessing form/query string variables, on
diffferent versions of PHP. Starts to become a nightmare, but you also want
to make sure you _aren't_ requiring register_globals to be on...
so what I do;
function Form($var = null)
{
if (function_exists('version_compare')) // added in 4.1.0
{
return @$_POST[$var];
}
global $HTTP_POST_VARS;
return @$HTTP_POST_VARS[$var];
}
then just
$variable = Form('field');
you can adapt the code for the other various http variable arrays etc. I
have encapsulated it in a class, and also, to remove the call to the
function_exists function every time I attempt to get variable
define('MY_PHP_VERSION', function_exists('version_compare'));
then the if statement becomes if (MY_PHP_VERSION) {
Now, a couple of other things to discuss.
can anyone else confirm my conclusion;
define('MYSTRING', 'Hello World');
for ($i = 0; $i 5000; $i++) { echo MYSTRING; }
class Msg { function MyString() { return 'Hello World'; } }
for ($i = 0; $i 5000; $i++) { echo Msg::MyString(); }
that creating a static class, with static members, and calling those,
instead of using define() variables, is actually faster?
thirdly,
for ($i = 0; $i 5000; $i++) { echo $i; }
$i = 5000; while ($i--) { echo $i; }
that the decrementing while loop is actually faster than a for loop?
btw I'm aware that a decrementing while loop can not be a replacement for
every for loop situation, but there are times when you can use it instead,
and from what I can see, its faster.
Hope I made sense. I'm in a rush! Also my first post to the list for about 4
years! These things could have been discussed already so I apologise, just
in case.
Regards,
Sean

// loop till $length - 1
for ($i = 0; $i $length; $i++)
{
// its a password, set the choice to be between 1 and 4
if ($type == 2)
{
$choice = rand(1, 4);
}
// its a username, set the choice to be between 1 and 2
else
{ $choice = rand(1, 2); }
switch ($choice)
{
//generate a random number representing ascii character between a-z
case 1:
case 2: $min = 97; $max = 122; break;
//generate a random number representing ascii character between 0-9
case 3:
case 4: $min = 48; $max = 57; break;
}
// add the character to our string
$string .= chr(rand($min, $max));
}
// return our generated string
return $string;
}
// for readability
define('L_USER', 1);
define('L_PASS', 2);
//for a username, you want 8 character a - z
$username = GenerateString(8, L_USER);
//for a username, you want 6 character a - z and 0-9
$password = GenerateString(6 L_PASS);

Subject: [PHP] creating random strings?
I need to create batches of randomly generated usernames and passwords.
To start off, I have:
$validuchars='abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz';
$validpchars='abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz23456789';
$lenu=strlen($validuchars)-1;
$lenp=strlen($validpchars)-1;
The first method I came up with was:
$uid=''; for($i=8;$i;$i--) $uid.=substr($validchars,mt_rand(0,$lenu),1);
$pwd=''; for($i=8;$i;$i--) $pwd.=substr($validchars,mt_rand(0,$lenp),1);
But I'm wondering if there's any significant benefit to this instead:
for( $uid=''; strlen($uid)8;
$uid.=substr($validuchars,mt_rand(0,$lenu),1) );
for( $pwd=''; strlen($pwd)8;
$pwd.=substr($validpchars,mt_rand(0,$lenp),1) );
I can't see any difference in speed. Does the savings of the $i variable
have any signficance at all?
Another thing I was thinking of doing was making more pronouncable
usernames with something like:
$cons=bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz;
$vowels=aeiouy;
$lenv=strlen($vowels)-1;
$lenc=strlen($cons)-1;
$uid=; for($i=4;$i;$i--)
$uid.=substr($cons,mt_rand(0,$lenc),1) .
substr($vowels,mt_rand(0,$lenv),1);
Any thoughts?
Incidentally, I'm guaranteeing uniqueness of usernames with a unique
index in the MySQL table that stores this stuff. Including the INSERT,
I can create about 10 of these in 60 seconds. So this is more a
question of style than of practical limitations. ;)

RE: [PHP] Another problem with conditional statements
Its all wrong. You shouldn't be using a switch statement anyway. A switch is
for evaluating a single variable.
alss, your code if ($a $b == 124) is the equivelent of writing if ($a ==
true $b == 124).
if ($a == $b)
{
// do struff
}
elseif ( ($a == 124) ($b == 124) )
{
//do stuff
}
elseif ( ($a == 124) ($b == 755) )
{
//do stuff
}
elseif ( ($a == 124) ($a != $b) )
{
// do stuff
}
else {
// do default
}
a switch statement is used in this context;
$a = 1;
switch ($a)
{
case 1: $blah = $a; break;
case 2: $blah = 'something else'; break;
default: $blah = 'nothing';
}
you evaluate a single variable, otherwise, you are stuck with using is/else
statements

either.

RE: [PHP] Another problem with conditional statements
Nowhere in the documentation does it specify switch should be used in the
context you are attempting.
The docs show a single variable and checking the case of that variable.
I'm not going to berate you on syntax. If you can get it working like that
then good for you. However, I would strongly advise you to use the
if/elseif/else statements instead.
an example of switch
$action = $_POST['action']
switch ($action)
{
case 'help': showHelp(); break;
default : showDefault();
}
not
$action = $_POST['action']
switch (true)
{
case ($action == 'help'): showHelp(); break;
default : showDefault();
}

I believe you are incorrect. Switch will look for the first case statement
that is true and execute that statement. The following works - case one is
incorrect so it doesn't get executed but the second case does. Paste this
into a test.php file and you will see it works.. Read the manual.
$a=2;
$b=4;
switch (true) {
case ($a $b) and ($b 5):
echo Incorrect;
case ($a == 2):
echo Correct;
}
So my original question is still stands. The switch statement is correct,
but there is a problem with my conditional statements.

switch() does not work that way. Switch uses the value in the
parentheses
and selects a
CASE based upon that value. Read the manual.
You will have to use a series of if()-elseif()-else()

Hi,
This should be as simple as breathing, but not today. I have
two variables
$a and $b which I need to compare in a switch statement in several
different
ways, but no matter what I do it's wrong.
This is what I have tried, can someone tell me how it should be.
TIA
switch (true):
case ($a == $b): This one seems simple enough.
do sum stuff;
break;
case ($a $b == 124): This appears not to work.
do sum stuff;
break;
case ($a == 124 $b == 755): If $a is equal to 124 and
$b is equal
to
755 then it should be true..doesn't work.
do sum stuff;
break;
case ($a == 124 $b != 124): Nope, this doesn't appear to work
either.
do sum stuff;
break;
endswitch;
