Ok here is how I solved it. When I have a url like www.xx.ccom/a/b/c for
example, what I do is
get an array of abc, ab, a

Then I run a union query for all three combinations. So basically select *
from {lookup_table} WHERE path = 'abc' UNION select 

Then I just retrieve the first row  mysql_fetch_object. That is what I need.

Thanks Anyways

[PHP] Pattern Matching

[VamVan]

Hello Guys,

I have a question related to pattern matching and wildcards. This is the
scenario.

I have friendly urls on my website. So retrive their path as arguments for
every page.

so for example if I have www.xx.com/contact/me my args array will be

args(
   0 => contact,
   1 => me
)

My requirement is to change the page title on the fly with specific
patterns, so what I do is define a look up table with these columns.

path, pageTitle

contact/me - Contact US

perfect match would be easy because I can exactly look for what I want.

It becomes tricky when I introduce wild cards like contact/* for example. It
could also be contact/me/*

How would I match patterns for this kind of relative matches.? Any ideas
anyone?

Thanks,
V

I work a lot with Drupal. Overall I would say it is a good CMS but I don't
think it can cater to all needs of enterprise level applications.

As a serious Developer , let me give you some of the advantages and
disadvantages of Drupal, But please keep in mind these are just my
experiences:

Advantages:

1) Lot of CRUD applications already available.
2) Session and User Management is already built in.
3) Very good Contrib Modules.
4) very good community support for all the code base which is popular.
5) For a Quick website this is the best tool.

Disadvantages:

1) After working almost 1 and 1/2 year on Drupal. Initially I wanted to make
Drupal work for my application and it did nice. But now I am kind of making
my application work for Drupal which is bad.
2) Some set of standards like revision management for example does not suit
enterprise architecture.
3) If ure entering some uncertain waters, u have to swim urself. because you
will not get the support from community.
4) Learning Curve is steep for beginners.
5) Actual OOPS is not very well practised even though code helps you define
some hooks. But most of the cases , the hooks available do not serve your
purpose.

But anyways your choice of CMS depends on your project size. If its a big
enterprise level application, I would research more.

[PHP] SOAP and Exception Handling

[VamVan]

Hello Guys,

I use SOAP calls to make web service requests.I have a class that does
webservice calls to various wsdls. So my question is about try catch blocks.

so my method looks like this:

private function method($cookie){
  //Define Client
  try{
  // Check if WSDL exists
  if(!...@file_get_contents($this->WSDL)) {
throw new SoapFault('Server', 'No WSDL found at ' .
$this->WSDL);
  }
  $client = new SoapClient($this->WSDL, array(
  'exceptions' => 1,
  'encoding' => "UTF-8",
  'connection_timeout' => 60
  ));
  }catch(SoapFault $fault){
  // Error if the WSDL is not available or new client cannot be made
  //log errror
  }
  //Define Input Array
$input = array();
$input['cookie'] = $cookie;

//Make the call
  try{
  $result = $client->function($input);// Make the Call
  return $result;
  }catch(SoapFault $fault){
//log error
  }
   }

How is it possible for me to *remove *these 2 try and catch blocks from this
method and just throw exceptions, but do a try and catch in the business
logic.

So basically I might have different functions in  business logic area that
might call the same method and I do error logging there itself instead
directly in the method?

Re: [PHP] need help with code

[VamVan]

Code without proper indentation and is very hard to comprehend. You have
unnecessary spacing and line breaks that makes it difficult to debug.

I suggest you few things as a good practice:

1) Until you learn perfectly to code use some nice GUI editors that have
syntax highlighting (aptana, eclipse, zend etc).
2) Don't try to mix up markup (html) and api calls(PHP Code). Believe it
become a horrible mess to maintain after some point.

Anyways Here is your code with parse error removed:

getRequestToken();
$reqToken = $tok['oauth_token'];
$reqTokenSecret = $tok['oauth_token_secret'];
$request_link = $to->getAuthorizeURL($toc);
$content = 'Click on the link to go to twitter to authorize your
account.';
$content .= ''.$request_link.'';
setCookie('reqToken',$reqToken,time()+(24*30*60*60),'/');
setCookie('reqTokenSecret',$reqTokenSecret,time()+(24*30*60*60),'/');

?>
authorize


getAccessToken();
  /* Save the access tokens. Normally these would be saved in a database
for future use.*/

setCookie('accessToken',$tok['oauth_token'],time()*24*60*60*30+3600,'/');

setCookie('accessTokenSecret',$tok['oauth_token_secret'],time()*24*60*60*30,'/');
  header("location http://www.chriswestbrook.com/twitter/twitter.php";);

[PHP] 500 Internal Server Error

[VamVan]

Hello All,

What is the situation when we get internal server error 500 on PHP pages?

>From Internet I got some info like, you get it when :

1) If friendly urls are not supported by apache.(mod_rewrite)
2) If max_execution_time max's out.
and some more related to apache.

I got a weird situation where I do PHP eval() and if the parsed string is
wrong, I get internal server error 500.

So question is I was under the impression that PHP code errors  will never
result in a http response errors. Am I completely wrong here? Can anyone
tell me from their experience what are the specific scenarios we get this
error?

I second that you need to use curl:

$header = array(
"MIME-Version"=>"1.0",
"Content-type"=>"text/html; charset=utf-8"
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->elqPosturl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $this->curlOptTimeOut);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $this->proxyServer);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYPORT, $this->proxyPort);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $inputArray);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'MSIE');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);

$data = curl_exec($ch);

My suggestion don't close it.  Headers already sent is a big problem because

I don't think that can happen either. Mirroring  Server level Caching
happens on ur server not on theirs...
My explanation would be your filter is not working as expected. you may not
filter everything ..
Its depends on ur script logic.

For specific requirements like this. I think it is very OK to set some
rules  when the user inputs the text. You can make the simple text area and
make some custom tags for ur application only. For example  in ur
application means  in html.

This way you can str_replace all that user enters in to watever class or
text u want to to make it look pretty. Its an easier way and reliable way
because you have the authority to validate user input if it does not match
certian criteria that you may need.

I don't know you can never blame user for what he enters. Not every user is
computer literate and our code should always cater the needs of this kind of
user and I feel its perfectly ok to tell the user to enter proper data if it
doesnot meet ur standards.

Re: [PHP] PHP unlink Permission Error

Alice,

I see that you are using windows. For windows only the write permission for
the folder and file isn't enough. You need to change the owner ship of the
file as well so that u have privilege to delete.

Do this , this might work:
//Change the owner ship of the file to a non existent user in the system
chown($directory."/".$file,666);
unlink($directory."/".$file);

Re: [PHP] Editing in a text area field

Rule #1.
Never, ever, ever, alter the user's input, EXCEPT for sanitizing/filtering.
Specifically, do NOT add  tags in place of newlines.
Store the newlines.


100% I agree. Thats called the act of defensive programming. We have no

Re: [PHP] Couple of beginner questions

[VamVan]

Hey Gary,

I've done a number of sites in html and am now venturing into php.

Can I create a page in html and insert php code that will work? (for
example, take an existing page and insert a date command)

--- Of course you can do that. But it is not advised. Becoming better in PHP
in few months you will understand that its almost necessary to separate
business logic from presentation logic. But as a beginner you can do that.
So basically have  tags around the php code that you write. better
to rename your files to .php extension.

Can I create a page with the php extension that contains only contains html
and no php?  If so are there advantages/disadvantages?

-- Yes you can do that but if you have  it better to wrap your html
in quotes and also escape them and print it on the screen using echo command
or print command. echo is better though. or else if you dont want to open
 tags then you can have plain html without any hassle.

-- Remember as you re still a beginner try to avoid using ?> at the end of
complete PHP code page. or else if you have empty lines at the end of the
file "then you wont see blank page of death in PHP".

Can I mix and match file formats (php/html) in a single site?

-- Every wesbite in this world not only in PHP or anywhere is a combination
of html (presenation layer) and PHP (Logic). So the asnwer is yes.

I know many people will grin at me for this solution but may be faster way
to overcome this problem to do a find for $ and replace with $_REQUEST. even
this will help you if you dealt with $_POST, $_GET, $_COOKIE.

Anyways avoid this solution if you can completely. Its mandatory to script
your code with reg globals off.

Install XAMPP for Windows so that you can forget about custom configurations
and any pain associated with it.

With that you will get Apache, PHP and Mysql (some more apps as well)

Re: [PHP] Phpmyadmin password

Yeah I felt the same. It should be config.inc.php. Well I dont think its in
clear text though (alteast in the latest version). May be u can do a bowl
fish encryption of your new custom password and reset it in the file.

Re: [PHP] Re: header modify errors

Hey,

Few things:

1) Check to see if you have any trailing spaces after the end of the file.
2) Check to see if your session_start() is not the first line of the code.

[PHP] Dates and Mysql

I was wondering how is it possible for me to query the table to retrieve all

[PHP] Objects and Arrays Conversion

[VamVan]

Hello All,

I was stuck with this issue. So just felt the need to reach out to other
strugglers.
May be people might enjoy this:

Here is the code for object to array and array to object conversion:

function object_2_array($data)
{
if(is_array($data) || is_object($data))
{
$result = array();
foreach ($data as $key => $value)
{
$result[$key] = object_2_array($value);
}
return $result;
}
return $data;
}

function array_2_object($array) {
 $object = new stdClass();
 if (is_array($array) && count($array) > 0) {
foreach ($array as $name=>$value) {
   $name = strtolower(trim($name));
   if (!empty($name)) {
  $object->$name = $value;
   }
}
 }
 return $object;
}

have fun !

Thanks

[PHP] category and sub category traversal

[VamVan]

Hello,

I need some help in figuring out this logic.

I have two tables one for category and other for category_hierarchy.
category_hirerarchy has a column to determine the parent.

So the query I have to retrieve tree of one specific category is:

SELECT t.tid, t.*, parent FROM term_data t INNER JOIN term_hierarchy h ON
t.tid = h.tid WHERE t.vid = 16 ORDER BY weight, name;

The ones with parent = 0 is the top category

Now I need to prepare an associative array with parent child relation.

So bascially I need to retrieve [parentID] => array('childID', 'chidName')

Can anyone shed some light on the logic involved in preparation of this
array with out using multiple sql queries?

Thanks

Re: [PHP] Regex validation

[VamVan]

SSO process:

$_POST the Email Address and password

Get Authenticated, Get the COOKIE ( Through Oracle IDM suite SOAP call)

Decrypt the COOKIE ( Through Oracle Enterprise business suite SOAP call)

and get the profile Info

Thats what happens now.

But there is a glitch in the decryption algorithm we currently have. And
when we decrypt + or some thing else comes with funny characters and does
not authenticate.

So I need to restrict them for now. When the algorithm gets corrected then I
will use standard RFC.

Re: [PHP] Regex validation

[VamVan]

Yeah, I understand that its allowed in RFC. But unfortunately I use SSO
layer which decrypts the Cookie to get email address.

This is where it messes up. So I have decided not to allow people to use
that as well.

Thank Guys,

I at least got part of it working , not the double words but almost
everything else than that:

function _email_validate($mail_address){
  $invalid_charset_pattern = "[(*+?)|~<>:;{}/ ]";
  if(ereg($invalid_charset_pattern, $mail_address)){
return false;
  }else{
return true;

}

[PHP] Wierd Variable Initialization

[VamVan]

So guys,

I found some thing strange that happened to me yesterday. Its small but
kinda freaked me out.

So I have a tokenmap.php that I include include in different configuration
files. Some are classes and some are simple php files.

So in my tokenmap.php I have declared an array as global.

SO $GLOBAL['tokenmap'] = array()

As a good programming practice what I did was:

require_once('tokenmap.php');
$tokenmap = array();
$tokenmap = $GLOBAL['tokenmap'];
print_r($tokenmap);

The above displays empty array

But when I do this , it works

require_once('tokenmap.php');
$tokenmap = $GLOBAL['tokenmap'];
print_r($tokenmap);

Its kind of wierd for me. I am trying to understand. Can some one shed some
light on it for me.

Thanks

Re: [PHP] SESSION problem

[VamVan]

Tedd,

I think according to PHP manual. Session_start() must be the first line in
the code. Dont worry it will remember your session until you close the
browser and also it wont duplicate it.

Thanks

Re: [PHP] Why PHP4?

[VamVan]

I agree but not everyone think in the sameway. I have seen several big
websites that got hit because they haven't used super globals in the code
and their hosting provided would just change the PHP.ini setting and nothing
would work.

GET, POST , SESSION, REQUEST everything was all dealt as just variable.

Re: [PHP] Why PHP4?

[VamVan]

Its because PHP got really famous with version 4.0 and many people actually
converted their CGI or other websites in to PHP 4 websites because it was
easy and cheap. But 5.0 brought too many changes like serious OOPS and
register global concepts for security, which is useful but made transition
difficult. I feel thats why PHP 4 is still supported.

Its not only the language that has changed, but also people had to upgrade
their skill set and there was some learning curve involved.

Unfortunately everyone fell in the trap of register globals which was not
dealt until php 4.3.1 as a security concept. Pear and Pecl were there but
everyone was pretty much writing all the code (reinventing the wheel) from
scratch. This brings in huge code base to change.

I liked PHP because intitially it was a procedural langauge and it resembled
C. But now with OOPS you can build powerful websites which is good.

There are many other  cases but I feel strongly this is what makes them
still support PHP 4.

Thanks

Re: [PHP] Programming With Revision History

[VamVan]

Hello,

Think in this way:

You would be needing two tables:

first one:

content table:

contentID, contentType, revisionID --- contentID is the PK ( you can
make the UI for adding and deleting these fields)

content_revisions table

revisionID, contentID, -- revisionID is the PK

Great things start from simple thinking. You can use this model to implement
revisions. In some PHP CMS we currently have they also use serialized data
fields for each revision.

--- Thanks

Re: [PHP] After INSERT form submit - Data doesn't refresh!

[VamVan]

Hello,

I understand what you are trying to do. But as a web developer it is never a
good practice to have a insert query and page to display the record in the
same page. This way you will never add the redundant data whenever the page
is refreshed.

So from my experience I would suggest you do this:

form.php

if(isset($_GET['displayrecords']) && $_GET['displayrecords'] == "true") {
show records
}else{

HTML FORM
submit
}

qry_form.php

{INSERT QUERY}

//redirect
header('location:form.php?displayrecords=true')

this intermediate step qry_form.php will insert the record and redirect to
the same page with a get variable.

This is a good practice to avoid inserting everytime you refresh the page.

Thanks

Re: [PHP] Questions about finding ranges

[VamVan]

Hey,

For ranges you can also use "Between" in the mysql queries.

SELECT * FROM table WHERE Type= "Attainable" AND Min LIKE $var can be
written as

Select * from table where between min and max

Just remember that "between" acts a bit wierd with dates or else Jim's
solution would be perfect for you.

Thanks

[PHP] Soap Call Error

[VamVan]

Hello Guys,

I have been getting a wierd soap exception lately


[faultstring] => looks like we got no XML document
[faultcode] => Client
[faultcodens] => http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/

What does that mean? The call gets properly called and it does what it needs
to do, but the response xml is always a $fault? Did anyone have this
problem? I am using php 5.2.6 for the info.

and below is my method...

private function createThread($userID, $applianceTitle,
$applianceDetails_link){
  // Define Client
  try {
 $client = new SoapClient($this->createThreadWSDL, array("trace" =>
1
 ));
  } catch(SoapFault $fault) {
  return "";
  }

 // Define Input array
 $params = array(
   'subject'=> $applianceTitle,
   'body' => $applianceDetails_link,
   'communityID' => $this->parentCommunityID,
   'userID' => $userID
 );

 //Make the Call
 try {
   $result = $client->__soapCall('createThread',
array('parameters'=>$params), NULL, $this->header);
   return $result;
 } catch (SoapFault $fault){
   return $fault;
 }
   }

Thanks

Re: [PHP] Question before I end up writing alot of extra code...

[VamVan]

sorry it needs to be a array for checkbox for the example below. So you
could use is_empty() instead. something like that.

Re: [PHP] Question before I end up writing alot of extra code...

[VamVan]

Hey,

Dude you could use it this way





Once u submit it,

do a small server side validation

if(isset($_POST['something'] || $_POST['something']) != ""){
insert...
}

This way you could avoid replacing the values with nulls.

Thanks,
Vam

[PHP] Build and Deployment Process

[VamVan]

Hello All,

What is the best method to build and deploy php scripts along the different
environments? You can talk about rpm's and stuff

My specific scenario is

Step1:

Developer checks code in to perforce (repo)

Step 2:

Then I need to upgrade my integration instance.

Step 3:

Upgrade QA instance

Step 4:

Upgrade staging Server

Step 5:

Upgrade production machines

What would be the specific build mechanism that I can use for such kind of
environments? I also have db scripts that might alter schema.

Please provide me samples of any scripts that you might have written to
achieve this kid of structure. Any suggestions or scripts will be highly
appreciated.

What kind of caching and optimization mechanisms can I use for frequent Web
Service calls?

Any kind of code explaining the process would be highly appreciated...

Thanks

[PHP] Query in Query problems

[VamVan]

Hello All,

We many times encounter the situations of having Queries inside loop of
another query. Many times we can solve the issue by query joins but there
will be some situations where we cannot do it.

For Example:

function Change($id){

$qry_reg = "SELECT registrationID FROM registration  WHERE event_id
= '$id'";
$res_reg =& $this->mdb2->query($qry_reg);

while ($row_reg = $res_reg->fetchRow()) {
$userid = $row_reg['registrationid'];
$sql_insert = "INSERT
   INTO
   run
   (command, event_id, created, user_id, runtime)
   VALUES
   ('topic_change', '".$id."', NOW(), '".$userid."', NOW())";
$res_insert =&  $this->mdb2->query($sql_insert);

}
}

How can we deal with this kind of stuff? My concern is to just use the query
once instead on burdening the Mysql Server with so many queries This is
just one case. How do we actually deal with these kind of situations?

Thanks

Re: [PHP] Array and Object

[VamVan]

Well anyways please let me handle the problems with decoding. I just
want to know if there is a way that I could traverse through all the
elements of the simplexmlobject and still keep the same structure of
the array. What I mean is

 [Advanced Virtualization Technologies in Workstation 6-20080320 1604]
=> SimpleXMLElement Object
   (
   [recordingID] => 932467
   [hostWebExID] => marketingprograms
   [name] => Title
   [createTime] => 03/20/2008 09:04:42
   [timeZoneID] => 4
   [size] => 49.441048
[recordingType] => 0
   [duration] => 3218
   )

Go through all the elements of the object and do some encoding and get
back the same array structure.

In raw terms I need to know the procedure that does this and still
keep the same structure of the array.

[Advanced Virtualization Technologies in Workstation 6-20080320 1604]
=> SimpleXMLElement Object
   (
   [recordingID] => utf8_decode(932467)
   [hostWebExID] => utf8_decode(marketingprograms)
   [name] => utf8_decode(Title)
   [createTime] => utf8_decode(03/20/2008 09:04:42)
   [timeZoneID] => utf8_decode(4)
   [size] => utf8_decode(49.441048)
[recordingType] => utf8_decode(0)
   [duration] => utf8_decode(3218)
   )

Re: [PHP] Array and Object

[VamVan]

I cannot do that. because Simple xml element retrieves everything in
UTF8. I need to decode it to latin1 for comparison with another array.

My query still remains the same.

[PHP] Sessions

[VamVan]

Hello People,

I wanted to have your assistance in deciding few things here,
basically I want to auto populate a registration form for people
visiting second time or so on.

I have already started a session,I know that session is a cookie so is
it better to rely upon the session cookie for auto populating or
create another cookie on client side.

If i am not mistaken ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 3600);
increases the time session cookie expiration time to 1 hr  right.

Please give me ur suggestions on this. if some one has a working code
can you please share?

Thanks,
V

Re: [PHP] Sending SMS via PHP

[VamVan]

Hi Bastien,

I have actually implemented sending SMS using PHP by installing NOW SMS
gateway. You can find all the information regarding it on www.nowsms.com.
They have a software that you can buy and configure on your server.

I wrote scripts that can help sending single SMS, BULK SMS, User Defined SMS
etc. I also configured using PHP in a way to receive  SMS  to the web server
and store it in the database. Its really exciting when you start working on
this because you will be basically using SOAP and SMPP protocol to achieve
this.

Once you install trial Version mail me back so that I can help you with PHP
Scripts that can actually allow you to SEND SMS. 160 characters are allowed
per SMS and you also need connection to the SMS gateway in your country.

Thanks,
Vamsee

[PHP] XML Parse Error

[VamVan]

Hi All,

Happy Christmas!!!

Please see the code below:


$xml = "";
$xml  = '';
$xml .= '';
$xml .= ''.
$this->xmlValueEncoding($post['Email']) .'';
$xml .= '' .
$this->xmlValueEncoding($post['FirstName']) . '';
$xml .= '' .
$this->xmlValueEncoding($post['LastName']) . '';
if (isset($post['Company']) && ($post['Company'] != ""))
$xml .= '' .
$this->xmlValueEncoding($post['Company']) .'';
if (isset($post['Title']) && ($post['Title'] != ""))
$xml .= '' .
$this->xmlValueEncoding($post['Title']) .'';
$xml .= '' .
$this->xmlValueEncoding($post['Password']) . '';
if (isset($post['Address1']) && ($post['Address1'] != ""))
$xml .= '' .
$this->xmlValueEncoding($post['Address1']) .'';
if (isset($post['City']) && ($post['City'] != ""))
$xml .= '' . $this->xmlValueEncoding($post['City'])
.'';
if (isset($post['State']) && ($post['State'] != ""))
$xml .= '' . $this->xmlValueEncoding($post['State'])
.'';
if (isset($post['ZipCode']) && ($post['ZipCode'] != ""))
$xml .= '' . $this->xmlValueEncoding($post['ZipCode'])
.'';
if (isset($post['Country']) && ($post['Country'] != ""))
$xml .= '' .
$this->xmlValueEncoding($post['Country']) . '';
if (isset($post['Phone']) && ($post['Phone'] != ""))
$xml .= '' . $this->xmlValueEncoding($post['Phone'])
. '';
$xml .= '';

function xmlValueEncoding($str) {

return htmlspecialchars(trim($str), ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8");

}

I receive a XML parser errow when encoding the NON US Value like accent `
etc.

Can you please suggest me a solution?

I am using SOAP to send these values to a webservice.

Thanks,
