[PHP] A few questions about PHP's SOAP module
* I'm trying to better understand the 'classmap' option for the
SoapClient class. Is it used to define the class of an instantiated
object which will be passed as an argument to the server's function
call? So, as a very simplistic example, it might go something like
this:
?php
class MyClass
{
public $sStockSymbol ;
public function __construct( $sStockSymbol )
{
$this-sStockSymbol = $sStockSymbol;
}
}
$oObj = new MyClass( 'ibm' );
$oClient = new SoapClient( $sWSDL_URI, array( 'classmap' = array(
'StockSymbol' = 'MyClass' )));
$oClient-getStockValue( $oObj );
?
Am I even close? Now, what happens if one of the required arguments
to the server function is a variable that has a hyphen in it? Is
there any way I can get around that since PHP doesn't allow you to
define variables with hyphens?
* Whether using class/objects to pass parameters to a server function
(assuming I have the above correct) or arrays, how can you define
further attributes for each parameter? Is that even possible? So
here is an example of a SOAP message that the server is expecting:
?xml version=1.0?
soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/;
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance;
xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema;
soap:Body
ServerFuncName xmlns=urn:/joe/bob/briggs/types
String1Var1 Value/String1
String2live/String2
Array1
SubArray1 status=complete
SubArray2 xmlns= encoding= node-type=
SubArray3

/SubArray3
/SubArray2
SubArray2 xmlns= encoding= node-type=/SubArray2
/SubArray1
/Array1
/ServerFuncName
/soap:Body
/soap:Envelope
How can I set up the attributes illustrated above? Encoding,
node-type, etc? Is that possible?
* Finally, is there a really good and/or comprehensive tutorial and/or
write-up on PHPs SOAP module? The documentation is pretty spartan and
what I have found doesn't really go in to much depth.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thnx,
Christoph

Am I even close?
first off, let me recommend the phpt tests in the php source. for the soap
stuff, you will find them under ext/soap/tests. i was looking through a few
of them. looks like if you have a chunk of wsdl, like this
xsd:complexType
name=book
xsd:all
xsd:element name=a
type=xsd:string/
xsd:element name=b
type=xsd:string/
/xsd:all
/xsd:complexType
you can map classes to it like this (which i gather you already got) w/ the
$options param in the SoapClient constructor
class book{
public $a=a;
public $b=c;
}
it looks like you can use contructors too though, im a bit too lazy to hash
out the details as i go through the phpt tests =/ but anyway, instead of
instantiating book ourselves, the SoapClient instance will do that for us,
as in
$sc = new SoapClient(
$someWsdlAddr,
array(
'classmap' = array(
'book' = 'book'
)
)
);
$book = $sc-readBook($myFavBook);
so assuming there was a method defined in the wsdl, roughly like,
ns1:readBook
res xsi:type=ns1:book
a xsi:type=xsd:stringLord of the Rings/a
b xsi:type=xsd:stringJRR Token/b
/res
/ns1:readBook
we could then take the book instance the SoapClient created for us, and do
echo title: {$book-a}, author: {$book-b}; /// produces title: Lord of
the Rings, author: JRR Token
Now, what happens if one of the required arguments
to the server function is a variable that has a hyphen in it? Is
there any way I can get around that since PHP doesn't allow you to
define variables with hyphens?
soo, im guessing the wsdl might be something like
xsd:complexType
name=book
xsd:all
xsd:element name=a--
type=xsd:string/
xsd:element name=b
type=xsd:string/
/xsd:all
/xsd:complexType
normally, with variable variables, you could hack around this, as in
$varWHyphen = 'a--';
$$varWHyphen = 5;
however, instance variables cannot be created out of variable variables, so
i doubt thats possible in this context.
* Whether using class/objects to pass parameters to a server function
(assuming I have the above correct) or arrays, how can you define
further attributes for each parameter? Is that even possible?
well, i think so. basically, i think this feature is just a way to have the
SoapClient instantiate an object rather than just returning an array. so
the examples in the phpt tests are simple, but you might have a class that
actually has methods and so forth, you just use a soap call to create it.
then you go on your way. this could be a bit more desireable for some folks
than getting an array and using it to create an object themselves, i
suppose.
so for example in the book class above you might have,
public function __toString() {
return title: {$this-a}, author: {$this-b};
}
So
here is an example of a SOAP message that the server is expecting:
?xml version=1.0?
soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/;
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance;
xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema;
soap:Body
ServerFuncName xmlns=urn:/joe/bob/briggs/types
String1Var1 Value/String1
String2live/String2
Array1
SubArray1 status=complete
SubArray2 xmlns= encoding= node-type=
SubArray3
node name=attribute1Node Value/node
node name=attribute2Node Value/node
node name=attribute3Node Value/node
node name=attribute4Node Value/node
node name=attribute5Node Value/node
/SubArray3
/SubArray2
SubArray2 xmlns= encoding= node-type=/SubArray2
/SubArray1
/Array1
/ServerFuncName
/soap:Body
/soap:Envelope
How can I set up the attributes illustrated above? Encoding,
node-type, etc? Is that possible?
dunno, maybe scope the phpt tests and see if you can figure something out..
i might play around w/ the example later, but as i said im weak on the
actual xml structure of the soap spec.
* Finally, is there a really good and/or comprehensive tutorial and/or
write-up on PHPs SOAP module? The documentation is pretty spartan and
what I have found doesn't really go in to much depth.

[PHP] A few questions about system requirements
Howdy, I'm going to be writing an app for our company that handles the day-to-day processes here and I have a question for the experienced devs out here that would know the ins and outs of working with CMS and good stats on what is needed for a server. I want to integrate my system with an existing CMS so I can have the username/password management and security features with the notifications, ratings, and user calendars all bundled into one thing. Obviously, there is going to be some kickback for the ones who originally wrote all the goodies, but I need to know what will best suit my company's needs. There will be about 15,000 'files' entered in per year with about 70 employees banging away at it daily, so I will probably need to build a pretty hoss database server and front-end to handle all of the php function calls. The big thing though, is would it be feasible to use a CMS system, could it handle that many people hammering away at it, and easily hook in all of the CMS's features into my main app (such as using smarty or somesuch) Please advise and thanks in advance!

[PHP] A few questions...
Hello all, I've got several questions and i'm hoping i can find answers or links to places which contain the answers. 1. How can i set a script to run at a certain time? For example, say i want to send a mass e-mail at 5:00pm every night which contains the latest updates to the website. I know how to generate the mail and then send it to everyone's e-mail in a MySQL table. But how do i set it to run automaticaly? Answers for both Linux and Windows systems would be nice... 2. How do i open a HTML file, extract all the text and then break up the text into variables.. For example, i've got a HTML files which all have the same structure Title: Magocracy Author: TheHeadSage E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Category: Comedy, Action Keywords: Ilja, Magic, Ilkeria Rating: PG-13 Spoilers: None, origional story. Summary: [Sumary here] Chapter Body How would i get all the text and break it up into the variables $title, $author, $email ect. So they can be insterted into the MySQL table under the approprate colums. 3. How do i open a Word Document and extract all the text? As users would like to submit .doc files and i'd like the script to process them.. Thats all the questions so far, any tips, comments, ideas, questions even insults and flames are welcome!

Using the layout you are showing:
1) Read the file
2) Split headers from body (delimited by an empty line)
3) make an array from the headers, splitting each line by ': '
// Disclaimer: untested
// step 1
$hf = fopen($file, 'r') or die(Can't read $file);
$buffer=fread($hf, filesize($hf));
fclose($hf);
// step 2 - now you have the chapter ready
list($headers, $chapter) = preg_split(/(\n|\r|\r\n|\n\r){2,2}/s, $buffer);
// step 3
$headers = preg_split(/(\n|\r|\r\n|\n\r)/s, $headers);
$arkeywords = array(); // for the array method, see below
foreach ($headers as $line) {
list($var, $value) = preg_split('/:\s*/', $line, 2);
// you may rather use an associative array instead of variable names
// the variable method:
$$var = $value;
// the array method
$arkeywords[$var] = $value;
}
You now have the body text in $chapter, and either an associative
array, or the named variables of the header lines.
3. How do i open a Word Document and extract all the text?
You might try Word2X (see http://word2x.sourceforge.net/)
Disclaimer - never used it, just been told about it by my friend Google
(question was Winword conversion Linux).
Thats all the questions so far, any tips, comments, ideas, questions even
insults and flames are welcome!
Nothing else?
Ok, you got something to work on now I believe... *grin*

[PHP] A few questions on switching redoing site in PHP
If everyone could gather around for a minute or two. We are looking at switching from a propriatary JSP/JS/Java based system and going to PHP as our ecommerce system. We currently have Oracle db and hosted on Sun equiptment, which we are in for another 3 years, although upgrades are planned. We hate the current system, it was picked for us in a closed room environment. We have been looking to get off ever since we launched, actually even before we launched. I have been developing in PHP before I got this job and advised against the vendor that we had, now I want to develop my own system. This is the backend systems we have. One system that I'm not to sure of is MQ Series, can PHP tie into that, or would we have to work around that, MQ messages back and forth with our legacy system to give a real-time connection to our actual customer and inventory and order processing pieces, although some C++ code sits between that and the JS layer. Another concern is how well does Sun and PHP get along, we have these nice boxes that is actually handleing the memory hog that we have now, and I know that we couldnt just dump the servers. Anyone have an idea on a site that processes between 150-250 orders and averages $65k a day, if PHP and MySQL can handle that, or would I have to go to something like MSSQL (I know I know MS and PHP .. hahahahahaha). All and any suggestions are welcome. dan mccullough web technology 603.823.5545 x 1119 There is no such thing as a problem, unless the servers are on fire.

[PHP] A few questions...
hey- Alright I noticed that question about URL parsing. I could've sworn I saw some article on PHPBuilder.com that said that instead of doing all that modifying with apache, you could simply write something to change the URL with '?' and '' and '=' so that they symbols could be represented using a simple /, does anyone remember seeing it?... In any case, I'll ask, what would be the best way to do this with scripting, something like str_replace() or perhaps a regular expression to both modify the URL and then allow pages using that modified URL to recognized the variable/value pairs? Or is that even possible? My other question is this: Sometimes I notice URL's where it looks like this, http://www.whatever.com/?blah=blahd=d, or http://www.whatever.com/local?name=named=d. How is that done, where there is no file extension after the file name, or no file name at all, just a question mark directly after the slash? thanks Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

$path_array = explode('/', $REQUEST_URI);
$last_item = array_pop($path_array);
$next_to_last_item = array_pop($path_array); / item
$REQUEST_URI contains the non-domin path (the URI) - it's a predefined
variable like $PHP_SELF, etc
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php
in this explode() example, the '/' is the devider, so if you have
http://www.somedomain.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/somepage3.php
The URI is: /dir1/dir2/dir3/somepage3.php
and 'exploding' divides that into array elements (dir1, dir2, dir3,
somepage.php)

Re: [PHP] A few questions...
while a bit ugly, you could just use array_pop() to get each item into a
variable and then echo them back out into your variable assignment...
somewhat cleaner would be to create an assoc array of config vars:
$uri_items_num=count($path_array);
for ($i=1, $i = $uri_items_num, $i++)
{
$key=array_pop($path_array);
$value=array_pop($path_array);
config_array[$key] = $value
}
or something.
