You will probably need to remove the '&' from this line:
$process =& process_get_process($processName);
All objects are passed around as a reference now so the '&' is not
needed and may cause troubles.

Re: [PHP] PHP4 vs PHP5 overrides
It's funny how talking or writing about something uncovers things you
didn't see before.
In an effort to tidy up the code I heeded the original implementors
comments and made the methods private (they were previously undeclared).
Making them public seems to have fixed the problem.

Re: [PHP] PHP4 vs PHP5 overrides
My apologies. I've not seen something I should have earlier. Also the
instance that is behind all of this is and instance of
ActiveRecordFormClass.
So, in PHP4, the correct overridden method is called:
ActiveRecordFormClass::_dispatchSave().
In PHP5, the FormClass::_dispatchSave() is called...???
BTW I'm tracing this though with xdebug.

[PHP] PHP4 vs PHP5 overrides
Hi,
I'm trying to decipher inherited code (I did not write this) and I'm
having great difficulty understanding the override of a method in PHP4
vs PHP5
Here's the code:
form.php
22 class FormClass
23 {
...
/* some method calls to _dispatchSave() */
572 if($this->_dispatchSave($key) === FALSE)
573 {
574 return FALSE;
575 }
...
/* _dispatchSave is defined */
692 function _dispatchSave($key)
693 {
arform.php
17 class ActiveRecordFormClass extends FormClass
18 {
...
/* _dispatchSave is defined */
84 function _dispatchSave(&$key)
85 {
In PHP 4.3.9:
The arform.php implementation of _dispatchSave is called
(i.e.ActiveRecordFormClass::_dispatchSave())in preference to the one
defined in it's own class. This is the desired call BTW but why does
this happening? I would expect the parent implementation to be called,
not a child implementation???
In PHP 5.1.6:
I get the warning:
"PHP Strict Standards: Declaration of
ActiveRecordFormClass::_dispatchSave() should be compatible with that of
FormClass::_dispatchSave() in ..."
which is expected since the parameters are defined differently. As I
expected, the FormClass::_dispatchSave() implementation is called in
PHP5. This implementation does not have the desired effect (the
application crashes).
What is happening? Maybe I'm not seeing something simple. I look forward
to any responses.

Tom

[PHP] Bar Charts in PDFs
Hi I need to generate some PDF reports (1000s). Part of the report is a set of bar charts (the results of a questionnaire). Each question has the same 5 answers (v.bad, bad, ok ,good, v.good) and the chart is the % distribution of the answers. My plan is to create a HTML version, using "some graph drawing"* (saving a copy of the HTML to disk), creating a PDF version using html2pdf (saving a copy to disk and emailing to the recipient). I think html2pdf can handle this. But I have not had much success finding something to draw my graphs. Any (free) simple libraries out there I could be pointed towards? Thanks! Tom

In the interest of speed it may be worth creating a table with just a
link id and the text to search which you can cleanup before inserting.
It will probably save you a headache in the future and will be quicker
than complicated queries.
The list of possible ids can then be tested against the full table for
any other criteria which if the table is indexed properly will be fast
too.

Re: [PHP] PHP4 to PHP5 migration with E_STRICT
Thanks David.
If my understanding is correct, then:
SPControlPanel::getContentTypes($db);
is a reference to a static instantiation of the class. If so, then it
must be syntactically something like when using 'new' (which returns a
reference) so there's no need to apply the & operator. Am I on the right
track?
I have some more PHP4 code in the application which caused: "PHP
Notice: Only variable references should be returned by reference". I
have fixed it like this:
< function & _getTable($cached=true)
< {
< return new TableClass($this->_getTableName());
---
> function & _getTable($cached=true) {
> $temp = new TableClass($this->_getTableName());
> return $temp;
Is this acceptable?
I'll have to come back to the $db issue - it's not issuing a warning so
I'll leave it alone until I've tidied up all the other issues.

E_STRICT to have a detailed look at all the code thoroughly. I have a
number of 'Notices' and 'Strict Standards' messages appearing now.
I don't consider myself a PHP guru by any means so I'm seeking help with
understanding these messages and how to fix the code.
One of the messages is:
"PHP Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in"
This is for a class SPControlPanel with a method
function getContentTypes(&$db)
{
$tabledata = array();
$sql = "select
contenttype.*
from
contenttype";
return $db->queryAll($sql, true);
}
The warning is for this segment of code below which is another method in
the same class (marked with comment // this line):
function getCategoryTypes(&$db) {
$tabledata = array();
$myContentTypes = &SPControlPanel::getContentTypes($db); // this
line
foreach ($myContentTypes as $key => $data) {
if ($data['iscategory']) $tabledata[] = $data['contenttype'];
}
return $tabledata;
}
There are many more methods making assignments in a similar way in this
class and in other classes throughout the code.
I'm not sure of the best way to re-code this to resolve the E_STRICT
warning.
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Tom

Actually, now I understand. I set mail.log to '1', enabling it as a
boolean and expecting it to send the output to whatever error_log points
to. In stead, mail.log expects a string, the path where to log to.
Documentation of the setting is quite sparse, and I failed to notice
that the config option wants a string and no boolean. Mystery solved :)

Erh, actually, yes I am. Documentation of the setting is rather sparse,
but I enabled it some time ago, expecting it to send the data to the
logging facility (syslog in my case), after which I forgot to check if
that actually happens. The current implementation is rather useless (to

Thanks for the tip, but I think that this is actually a bug? Current way
of logging is not very useful, since the file '1' is overwritten (in

[PHP] Possible issue in mail() function?
Hi, I noticed that the mail() function in php 5.3.3 on gentoo linux triggers a warning when used. A simple debug script with the contents: does send mail, but it also raises a warning: Warning: mail(1): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/www.example.com/htdocs/test-mail/index.php on line 5 After some googling [1] and fiddling with permissions, the message disappears when php has write permissions to the file /var/www/www.example.com/htdocs/test-mail/1 , in which it writes the following data: ==8<== mail() on [/var/www/www.example.com/htdocs/test-mail/index.php:5]: To: s...@example.com -- Headers: ==8<== Is this some debug output that someone forgot to remove?

[PHP] PHP Unconference Europe
I'm not affiliated with the PHP Unconference in any way but saw this on another mailing list, so just passing it on here in case anyone is interested. -Tom We are delighted to announce that PHP Unconference Europe will take place on: 19th & 20th February 2011 in: Manchester, UK. The venue will be in a central location, very accessible from all three train stations in Manchester city center. Learn more at: http://www.phpuceu.org/2010/10/03/save-the-date-feb-19-20-2011/ As PHP Unconference Europe is an international event, admission tickets will go on sale in two currencies. They will cost £ 40.00 or € 46.00. We expect to announce the exact venue and put the entry tickets up for sale very shortly. PHP Unconference Europe is organized by group of volunteers, based throughout Europe and is non-commercial. The goal of the unconference is the exchange of information about PHP and related topics, not to make a profit - ticket sales and sponsor funding just cover our costs. We really need your help in spreading the word and to make the unconference a success. Here is how you can help: 1. If you have a blog about PHP or related web technologies, please post a short message, announcing PHP Unconference Europe. 2. Tweet about the unconference. The official hash tag is #phpuceu . 3. Tell all your friends and colleagues, who are interested in PHP and related web technologies about the unconference. The organizers look forward to seeing many of you at the event.

Depending on what you mean by 'the client', all the client side things are fine :) The web front-end I am working on here is for internal use only. To allow non-technical people to set up clients and their apps. The more I look into this, the more I am leaning towards some shell scripts for client management, invoking them by cron. Then if an immediate response is needed someone technical will have to manually run the cron job. It looks like the law of diminishing returns for me to build something really usable.
Re: [PHP] Database Administration
Hmm.. I am familiar with PMA. I would for the purpose of this project consider it too technical for the target user base. The point is to create a GUI layer that would manage these things. For example, the 'add client' screen would ask for four things; name, description, username and password. Then behind the scenes a database would be created, the user created, permissions granted and a pre-configure set of tables built (and populated). My reservations come from security issues (which, as an aside, are also discussed about PMA), allowing a normal user account CREATE and GRANT on the database. Maybe I'm being too fuddy-duddy cautious.
[PHP] Database Administration
Hi I need to build a custom client management app, which will build and manage a database per client. This means that on top of the usual sql crud, it needs to be able to create databases, add/edit/delete database users, create tables. Is there a way for me to do this nicely as PHP solution? am I better off incorporating non PHP pieces into this (e.g. shell)? or should I leave the admin tasks (e.g. database creation) as a 'normal' administrative task (commandline/webmin/watever)?

Alternatively, something like EasyPHP http://www.easyphp.org/ makes it very easy to get a LAMP server set-up going on your machine, so you could drop your app into the www folder and navigate to localhost on your web browser to view it. Stick some dummy data in the db and you have a fully functional version of your app running on your machine.
[PHP] XSLTProcessor issue
I have located what appears to me to be bug in the XSLTProcessor in
PHP5.2.13 but want to insure that I am not overlooking something before
reporting it. Any advice will be appreciated.
The issue is apparent discrepancies in output sort order in an XSLTProcessor
generated list. Following is a detailed description.
Scenario: Disk resident xml file with a top level "Places" element and a
list of subordinate "Place" elements. Each "Place" element has a "fullName"
attribute with self explanatory value. Place heirarchy is indicated by comma
separated fields in the attribute value, e.g. Accomac Co., Virginia, USA.
Also, a disk resident xsl file whose purpose is to transform the xml file
into a html file with the "Place" element collection sorted and rewritten as
a list of full place names. When the xsl translation is invoked by assigning
the xsl to the xml file and accessing the xml file in IE8, the displayed
output appears exactly as expected, e.g.
Accomack Co., VA, USA
Adams Co., PA, USA
Ahoskie Twp., Hertford Co., NC, USA
Ahoskie, Hertford Co., NC, USA
AK, USA
AL, USA
Alachua Co., FL, USA
Alamance Co., NC, USA
Alameda Co., CA, USA
Alameda, Alameda Co., CA, USA
However, when invoked via the following php script, using PHP5.2.13 -
$xml = new DOMDocument();
$xml->load("F:\Places.xml");
$xsl = new DOMDocument();
$xsl->load("F:\Places.xsl");
$xslt = new XSLTProcessor();
$xslt->importStylesheet($xsl);
echo $xslt1->transformToXML($xml);
some sort order discrepancies appear in the output, e.g.
AK, USA
AL, USA
Accomack Co., VA, USA
Adams Co., PA, USA
Ahoskie Twp., Hertford Co., NC, USA
Ahoskie, Hertford Co., NC, USA
Alachua Co., FL, USA
Alamance Co., NC, USA
Alameda Co., CA, USA
Alameda, Alameda Co., CA, USA
Note that the state records, which have upper case second character,
incorrectly appear ahead of other places. This behavior appears even if the
"case-order='lower-first'" attribute is included in the element
in the xsl stylesheet.
Question: Is this a bug or am I overlooking something?

isn't a numeric string starting with 0 taken as octal? if so then 8 and 9

right. phone numbers are not integers. people also often use parentheses,
hyphens or dots in them.

i don't think so. if the user requests the page "a_form.php" then the server
will normally execute the a_form.php script regardless whether the form was
submitted or not.
to display a blank form, the user probably requests a_form.php with the GET
method and probably without any GET parameters. the script will run but
$_POST['submit'] is not set. so the script you show above will echo "Sorry,
couldn't process the form". that will likely confuse the user.
in your structure you branch only two ways. i think you need three ways:
1 - the user simply arrived at the form. there is no POST data. the form was
not submitted.
2 - there is POST data. the form was submitted.
2a - the POST data is unacceptable.
2b - the POST data is good.
in branches 1 and 2a you send the form.
in 2b, you send some other page or a redirect.
in 1 you send the form blank.
in 2a you might fill some form elements with data from POST and add some
annotations to the form so the user knows what she or he did wrong.

in those two cases, all four operands are integer literals. no juggling is
involved.
and i would have expected the same for ('2260' == '226e1') and ('226e1' ==
'2260') since all operands are string literals and i'd be wrong. (evidently
i'm not alone in making this mistake.)
i get confused reading the manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php
says that the context determines if the expression is converted. the example
being the + operator. by definition, it's operands are numeric contexts so
strings are converted. fair enough.
now what about the == operator?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php
that page contradicts the previous one because it says that, when an operand
is a string, the determination to convert an operand depends not on the
context but on the specific data _of_ the operand.
i think robert captured the essence of this confusion nicely with:

this is odd.
i might think it ok for (2260 == '226E1') to be true since php would be
doing type juggling in a logical left-to-right manner: we start with an
integer 2260, next is the juggling comparison operator, then a string, so it
might reasonably try to convert the string to an integer and then compare.
but with ('2260' == '226E1'), where both lhs and rhs are already of the same
time, it seems elliptical, to say the least, that php should search the
types to which it can convert the strings looking for one in which they are
equal.

PHP scripts are involved in the server's generation of responses. (a diagram might help.) now to your queston: if a UA has an html page that it got in a response for uri X; and if the page has a form; and if the form has no action attribute (or action=X); and if the user submits the form; then the UA will send the server an http request for X. next the server receives the request for X and the server runs a certain script, the php script you are coding. now i'm assuming these are your requirements: if that script determines failure, the user says at X and is asked to resubmit the form. if the script determines success, the user will wind up at a new uri: Y. further, you want to send the user over to Y by sending her UA an http response with Location=Y redirection. in these terms, the answer to your question should be pretty clear. your script has to receive and process requests for X before it can decide if it's going to respond to the UA with a Location=Y redirection or an html page with a form and an error message. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

i do pretty much the same thing. each form in my html template files has a
form name tucked away in a hidden input element. the only difference from
your method is that the names are unique across the application.

file in that place. i'm not sure this is an improvement.

[PHP] catch an iconv E_NOTICE
i have this hack that works up to a point...
function my_err_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) {
if ( preg_match('/iconv/', $errstr) ) {
throw new Exception('iconv error');
} else {
// ? how to invoke default error handler ?
}
}
set_error_handler("my_err_handler", E_NOTICE);
try {
$s = iconv($enc1, $enc2, $s);
} catch (Exception $e) {
// deal with the failed conversion
}
but i'd like proceed with default error handling in the branch with the
question marks. how can i do that?

Re: [PHP] Re: session.gc_maxlifetime
there's a need for long timeouts in this app but could perhaps be reduced from 6 to 3 hours. the sessions are cookie based using php's 'file' handler and session.cookie_lifetime=0. the server appears to have plenty of free memory and appears not to have swapped in nearly a year of uptime. load averages indicate a pretty quiet server. there are currently 170 kbyte total in 90 serialized session files which is typical and not a memory load. the distribution of modification times doesn't indicate heavy activity: ~20 files in the last 15 minutes and 35 in the last hour. so i think the os can handle this. plus the app ran for 6 years before anyone reported being prematurely logged off. i'm looking for other possibilities: odd browser behavior, network trouble, ... are there any browsers that have configurable cookie handling policy such that they time out a cookie? one web site i use displays this curious message: "For your protection, sessions are open for a limited period of time on our website. Please sign-on again. NOTE: Your browser may also limit secure connection time, and automatically log you out independent of our timeout procedure." that could be referring to browsers timing out an ssl connection. or perhaps the cookie? btw: when you said in your email you wouldn't trust a long gc_maxlifetime, and you would only use a cookie-based solution for long session. did you mean that you wouldn't trust php's cookie-based session handler? and you would use a custom handler instead?

the dbms abstraction library i use delivers rows, by default, as objects. so
i commonly handle dynamically generated data in the form of objects, though
it's not my code generating those objects. i think that's one reasons why i
often find i would use objects as data structures. and because i find the
dynamic objects in js convenient.
but i think you're preference reflects more closely was probably the concept
of php's version of oop: an object is an instances of a static class.
in any case, now that i've confirmed that i'm not merely unaware of the
features i was hunting for, and that they don't exist by design, i can
perhaps move on.
on a related note, way back when xml was ascendant as "the most exciting new
technology to hit the net since java", i was not impressed. what a horrid
syntax for specifying and communicating data, i would argue. why not use the
syntax from some sensible programming language instead? js, for example?
easy to parse, less overhead, human readable (i find xml hard to read), etc.
then eventually json happened, without all the hype and fanfare, just doing
the job very conveniently. i love it.
and to make that comment vaguely php related, i now use json to encode
structured data that i want to write to the php error log.

i shamefully beg your pardon, lars. i was sure i tested the example but it's
clear to me now i either didn't or i made a mistake. end($o)->a IS php
syntax! so -> may follow a function (or method, i guess) call.
but let me give you a more different example:
$a and $b are normally both objects, each with various members including a
prop q, but sometimes $a is false. i want the q of $a if $a isn't false,
otherwise that of $b.
($a ? $a : $b)->q // is not php, afaik
before you suggest one, i know there are simple workarounds.
but mine is a theoretical question about syntax, not a practical one. i'm
exploring php's syntactic constraints on the -> operator in contrast to,
say, the + or . operators. and in contrast to other languages.
for example, the . in js seems more generally allowed than -> (or, for that
matter, []) in php. programmers (especially using jquery) are familiar with
using . after an expression that evaluates to an object, e.g.
My x class number is
document.getElementById('num').innerText =
( ( document.getElementById('optional')
|| document.getElementById('mandatory')
).appendChild(document.getElementById('thepara'))
.className.match(/x(\d+)/) || [0,'absent']
)[1]
which shows . after objects, method calls and expressions (as well as the []
operator applied to an expression).
do we just live without in phpville or am i missing something?
and while i'm at it, and using my original error, how come...
function o() { return (object) array('q'=>7); }
echo o()->q; // is ok syntax, but
function a() { return array('q'=>5); }
echo a()['q']; // isn't?

i did that long ago when i was looking for php's object literal syntax. i
didn't find one. we discussed it here more recently and consensus appeared
to be that casting an array was the most convenient workaround.

[PHP] get an object property
if i have an expression that evaluates to an object, the return value from a
function, say, and i only want the value of one of the objects properties,
is there a tidy way to get it without setting another variable?
to illustrate, here's something that doesn't work, but it would be
convenient if it did:
$o = array( (object) array('a'=>1), (object) array('a'=>2) );
if ( end($o)->a > 1 ) { // can't use -> like this!
...
}

Re: [PHP] mysql user session handler
good point, gabriel. i really need to stop procrastinating with the whole memcache project. perhaps i ought to postpone consideration of the session handler until i've learned something about memcache, which i need to do anyway.

really?
the test below seems to show that php rename() is happy to rename
directories that are not empty. it even renames ones that contain files that
it neither owns nor has any permissions for. that suggests it is just
changing the name of the directory.
so the error message floyd reported is still a mystery to me, assuming
/bin/mv worked for the same old and new directories where php rename()
failed.

"Depending on how your code is structured, PHP does not always automatically save any session data.

Re: [PHP] mysql user session handler
thanks, Devendra, that's pretty much the same as my handler.

[PHP] mysql user session handler
questions for those of you with a user session handler using mysql: did you write your own handler, write one based off some other you found (if so, which?), or are you using some available library (if so, which?)? and how do you feel about your implementation? satisfied? or are there improvements you'd like to have? and what serializer do you use? i have my own set of handler functions (less than 70 loc) which seem to work in simple testing. but, while i'd really like to have the sessions in the db for redundancy, i haven't had the courage to deploy it yet. i derived the code from something i found on the web. i trust everything i read on the internet ;-) -tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
