[PHP] Re: how to check the form filled all
You might want to think about client side validation as well. This infomrs the user of any probelms *before* it hits your server. Now, this does *not* remove the step of form value checking on the server. Check out... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/javascript_validation/ A nice little client-side validation class, cross browser.

[PHP] there has to be a better way...
I need to read (write comes later) from a config file that we used to handle

What I have does this...
- open a given file
- dump entire file into a string
- explode string into an array at the EOL marker
- walk down this new array
- decide if there is anything in current element
- decide if current line is a comment
- split line at '=' into 2 variables
- add new key and value from these variables back into array
- kill original array element
There must be a better way to do this.
All this seems a bit over kill to me.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?

$config = $list . '/home/walter/vmd/config';
// Open the file
$handle = fopen ($config, r);
// Read entire file into var
$content = fread($handle, filesize($config));
// convert var into array and explode file via line break
$content = split(\r\n, $content);
// close file
fclose($handle);
// Loop through file contents array
foreach ($content as $i = $value)
{

$mapFile = ./dhcp_map.ini;
if( $fp = @fopen($mapFile, r) )

while( $line = fgets($fp, 1024) )
this pulls out 1024 bytes of data form the file. right?
or does this pull UPTO 1024 bytes of data or the EOL, which ever is first?
if ($line{0} != #) $tempMap .= $line; // strip
out # comments
} else echo ERROR: Can't read .$mapFile.BR;
fclose ($fp);
$map = explode(\n, $tempMap);
OK. $tempMap is a string var. Each line of the file has a /n delimiting it.
Now make an array of these line.
Right?
for($i = 0; $i count($map); $i++)
{
list($mac, $image, $name) = preg_split(/\s/,$map[$i], -1,
PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
walk down the map array.
split each element on the SPACE, but don't deal with blank lines
...
seems almost the same.
nice use of PREG_SPLIT. I guess that helps with the BLANK lines.
if fgets() onlt pulls out so much data, not to EOL, why use it?
If I understand right, if I pull out 1028 of data, the '#' on each line
could be anywhere in that buffer, not just at the first character.
That's why I pulled in the entire file into a string var and then exploded
it into an array split on EOL characters.
Am I missing something?
Thanks for your sample.

[PHP] Q on preg_split

off.
[2] = # ---
[3] =
[4] =
[5] = # The mailing address of the list.

of name/value pairs...
// Loop through file contents array
foreach ($content as $i = $value)
{
// If we have any data in this line
if (! empty ($value))
{
// If this line is not a comment
if ( $value{0} != '#')
{
list($a, $b) = split(=, $value);
$content[$a] = $b;
}
// kill orginal array element
unset($content[$i]);
}
}
this work fine, but I saw a piece of script where someone used...
list($a, $b) = preg_split(/=/,$content[$i], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
I inserted this in my script, and removed both IF statements.
This works fine on the blank elements, but spits out warnings on the
elements that do not have an '=' in it.
I guess my problem stems from the fact I can't (don't know how to) read a
file one line at a time.
If I could to that, then I could just ignore blank lines, and or comment
lines right off the bat.
Anyone have any ideas on how best to solve this? Or at least a better
solution?
And parse_ini_file() does not help with this, unless someone can tell me how
to change the delimiter this method assumes.

[PHP] Q on Class, inhertance, ec... (a bit long)
I have a quandary and I hope I can explain myself well enough that someone may understand and enlighten me. I am in the middle of building a (largish) Class. It is done for the most part, at least all pieces are there. Now I'm just trying to put the pieces together in a logical order. This is my issue; I have 2 sets of 12 methods that are identical in nature, but differ in implementation. Sort of like DB and Auth can handle different databases. (And yes, I've been studying them, but still am at a loss) I have my main class, BAZ, then I have 2 sub Classes, BAR and FOO. If x = 1, then I want to load BAR and utilize these 12 methods that are defined there. If x =2, then I want to load FOO and utilize these 12 methods that are defined there. The methods in each Sub-Class have the same names. My question is, how do I wrap this so that my methods calls are ignorant of with sub-class is used? Example: $myObject = new BAZ ( x = 2 ); // Utilize methods in FOO $myFred = $myObject-Fred; $myBarney = $myObject-Barney; or $myObject = new BAZ ( x = 1 ); // Utilize methods in BAR $myFred = $myObject-Fred; $myBarney = $myObject-Barney; And to throw a monkey with this wrenth, the 'factory' of the main class needs access to a few of these 'common' methods as well to prep several properties. Each sub-class contains about 600 lines of code, that I would rather not have in a single class file. Also, do I have to have these 12 methods names defined, but empty, in the main class? I hope this explains my non-understanding of PHP OOP to the level that someone can point me in the right direction.

[PHP] Re: Working with PHP Class Within Javascript
Harry Yau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, I am writing a HTML page to gather whole bunch of information provided by user and pass it to the PHP script to generate a report base on these information. Namely, user inputs data in textfields of a HTML FORM. Since, there is a lot of fields in the field, when the form submitted, the URL to the PHP script become very long. That is because you sent the data as a GET. Use a POST and the URL will not change. I am wondering two way to solve this problem. First, I create a PHP Class to store all Infomation and using JavaScript function in the HTML page to PUT those value of fields into my PHP Class Object. Then pass the PHP Class Object to the PHP script. However, I wondering is it possible for the JaveScript function to manipulate the PHP Class Object, and How? How could I Call the PHP Class Constructor inside the JavaScript function?? Moreover, How could I pass the PHP Class Object from the HTML page to the PHP Script?? Is it possible to do so?? In a Word, No. you are mixing apples and oranges. Javascript is all client-side (Yes, I knowm just ignore server-side for now, that is not what he is asking) and PHP is all server-side, not client-side at all. You use our JS to do what ever you want to do on the client machine. Then POST your name/value pairs to your server, which in turn calls your PHP to retrieve thosse name/value pairs and process them as needed. Second solution I've thought of was writing another PHP function inside the HTML page and doing the job as the JavaScript function. However, I have no I idea how could the HTML page call the PHP function when the user submitted the HTML FORM. Once again, How could I pass the PHP Class Object from the HTML page to the PHP Script at the end?? Agagin, same issue. You can't do anything PHP on the clinte side. Yes think of this as 2 sides to the same coin. The JS will handle all client-side stuff, formatting, validation, calculations, etc and the HTML wraps it all up into name/value pairs to be sent to the server-side process to handle. Your server-side process, in this case PHP, will retrieve these name/value pairs from the server, process them as needed and return back a page that tells the user whatever you want to tell the user.

a

A child window opens, I get 1 error dialog and a Download dialog, and then
the page opens fine.
error:

I hit OK and both the error dialog and the download page goes away.

[PHP] advise on new class of mine
I'm in the process of building my first real class. 43 methods, 23 properties, nearly 1000 lines of codes. What I would like to know... Is it better to keep al this in a single file? Or break it up into sub-classes? This does have logical sections, so a breakup would be possible, but then I'm not sure how I would piece it back together. Also... Many properties are not required at object instantiation, but I define them none-the-less. Many are derived from multiple others. It is better to define all properties, many may never be used, or simply define them as they are called? I define them all now, so there is a (ever so) slight hit on cycles for this. If I define them as they are called, then each needs a conditional to process to run each time that GETTER is called. Or is this 6 of one and half-dozen of another? Now, this gets broken up, many of the properties correspond the different sections. then he properties should be defined as called, because their package would only be loaded when called.

If you want your constructor to possibly not create the object

// some error occurred
$this = null;
return;
}
}
I tested it, it works great.
Then I read on...
Setting $this to null isn't available in PHP 4.3.3R3 anymore. Maybe in
version below also.
Great! :/
I have 4.3.2, so I guess it would work for me.

Re: [PHP] Q on Regular Expressions
Thanks for the pointer, but this only deals with date/time in EPOCH range.

Re: [PHP] Q on inhert class code
Evans, thx for your effort.
I see what your says, as I noticed the trouble at 3 this morning!
This is how I fixed it...
$session = Auth::_importGlobalVariable(session);
$session[$this-_sessionName]['data']['_loginAttempts'] =
$this-_loginAttempts;
Pretty much the way you indicated.
But then, as I read more, decoded the Class in my head more, I noticed that
they had a method to deal with this issue. So I figured I'd juut use that
method, in case something changes in future it won't bite me!
// Store class var in session data
Auth::setAuthData('_loginAttempts', $this-_loginAttempts);
Thanks for your help.

No, I'm wanting to EXTEND the orginal class.
meaning, my THECHILD class efines new methods/properties, and I want it used

Me just being picky. It doesn't work that way, exactly. The child class can define new methods and properties, but you must make an instance of the child class, which will include the methods/properties from the parent, and the new ones you have written. If I'm understanding you correctly, you could rename you parent class to child, name the child class the same as your parent and have the old class extend the new class you've written. You code should then work the same, but have the new methods/properties available. What I am trying to do is EXTEND the PEAR::Auth Class with new properties and methods. But I still want to use the original instantiation call... $myAuth = Auth(); So, I don't think I can rename the orginal Class in this case. I'm just being particular. Or do I have to create my new EXTENDED Class and then add code to PEAR::Auth to make it work as if it is always just Auth?

[PHP] vars between instantiate class...
I am trying to see how many times a person has tried to log in during a session. the login script... $objAuth-start(); if ($objAuth-getAuth()) // is user logged in already ...display hello page... else ...display login page OK, so far so good. If the user punches in anything wrong, the login gets displayed again. Now I want to track this iteration of attempts. In the START method, I did this... $this-_loginAttempts = $this-_loginAttempts + 1; then I added echo $objAuth-getLoginAttempts(); before ...display login page... to see how it tracks. It always displays '1' To me, it looks like '$objAuth-start();' , which is called each time the page runs, which is each time a login attempt is made, is re-initializing all the class vars to their default state. If I make _loginAttempts = 8, then it displays 9. So, my question (this time) is how do I get the class to track this counter? I hope I explained this well enough. I really don't think this is a PEAR::Auth specific question. I think it's just a how do I keep this counter going in a class question.

[PHP] Q on inhert class code
I have a parent Class that does this in one of it's methods...
$session = Auth::_importGlobalVariable(session);
$session[$this-_sessionName]['registered'] = true;
I would like to hook into this in on eof my methods in a child class
I thought I could do this...
[538] $session = Auth::_importGlobalVariable(session);
[539] $session[Auth::_sessionName]['registered'] = true;
But I get this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ']', expecting '(' in
mypath\AuthUser.php on line 539
OK, I guessed wrong (again).
This is how PEAR::Auth deals with inserting its class vars into a session
and I want to piggyback on that. No need to roll my own, I think.
Can someone show me the errors of my ways?
Thanks

If so, then why does my PHP work at all? I have nothing that belongs to PHP in the system directory. Well, not completely true. PEAR installed a pear.ini in the system directory itself (I wish it didn't, but my PEAR not working properly is a different issue.) Nothing I've read from the web or the documentation has given me any understand on how this is set and why PHP file are needed in the location that the says to place them.

Philip Olson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You may set the location of php.ini by using the PHPRC environment variable or during ./configure use the --with-config-file-path directive. So, I take it that this is a setting you use during compile time. So, to fix this, as not to mandate the use of 'C:\winnt' I could just recompile everything. mmm. Maybe you should just copy a php.ini into the directory PHP is looking for it in, which appears to be C:\WINNIT. I was really hoping not to have to do that. It is so *Microsoft* in implementation. I was really hoping that something that came from outside the DarkSide would not be tempted. If PHP was actually reading a php.ini, you would have instead seen it as C:\WINNIT\php.ini as opposed to just a directory path. So because no php.ini is being read, PHP is using all default values as per a stock php.ini-dist. OK! Now I see. PHP is using default values since it can't see a php.ini file where it thinks it should be, the C:\WINNT directory. Well, I copied my php.ini into C:\winnt removed my fix for DB.php, restarted my Apache and sure enough, phpinfo() shows C:\WINNT\php.ini and DB.php no longer returns an error! :( [why the sad face? It thought you said it now works?] The sad face is because I am forced to place files in the windows directory. There was nothing I could do about Apache and it's use of the Registry, now it looks like I'm forced to do things The Microsoft Way with PHP. At least Perl is set up without using Microsoft's mandates. Thanks for the info Philip. I appreciate it. Now things are clearer. PHP now works, but I'm not happy, but that's not relevant. I'm always causing trouble. Now I 'need' to see if I can find someone who can re-compile this for me (no I don't have access to any of these tools. I'm learning PHP now since I was told that is what I need to add to my skill set if I want to get a job, again. I got laid off 6 months ago after 7 years as an Lead Internet Technologies Architect.
