Re: [PHP] COM - Assigning to method.
Hi Andrew
Thanks for this.
But I'm still getting errors. I think I need to explain a bit more.
Unfortunately there isn't a PHP API for this application I'm trying to
interact with, my goal really is to be able to expose the COM
functionality over a web-service such as SOAP so I can use it in a
CMS. The application I'm trying to integrate with is Blackbuad's
Raiser's Edge - API documentation here:
https://www.blackbaud.com/files/support/guides/re7ent/api.pdf
I think part of the problem is that the field names are also
represented by an integer. So to get data out I would do:
$oBank-Fields(22); // which maps to BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME.
When I do:
$oBank-22 = 'blah blah';
I get an error because a property can't be numeric, it has to start as
alpha character. If I use:
$oBank-BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME = 'blah blah blah';
I get the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Unable
to lookup `BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME': Unknown name.
I've also tried using your Value property returned by Fields():
$oBank-Fields(22)-Value = 'Blah Blah blah blah';
Which I then get:
PHP Warning: Creating default object from empty value in [C:\Users]
Fatal error: Call to undefined method variant::Save()
Soo seems nearly impossible to implement a safe way to write to the COM API.
At the moment, I'm still in the scoping/prototype stage of my project,
so I'm beginning to think that using this COM API for this project is
a no-go, which is unfortunate. I'm also guessing even if we did
implement this API, exposing it as a Web Service is going to be tricky
for performance sake (given that I've read that COM doesn't
multithread very well??)
Many Thanks

That example isn't assigning values to method return value. Fields is a
collection of ADO Field objects. The default property of a Field object is
its Value property, so the shorthand is simply assigning the values of the
variables to the value of each field in a record within a Recordset.

Hello,
did you tried var_dump or print_r the $oBank object to see his structure ?
Also you can try:

(thats what parameters are for!) So I'm at a bit of a loose end. I'm
wondering if anyone else has come across this? Or am I missing
something obvious in PHP's implementation of the COM that allows me to
work around this?
My PHP Code is looks like this:
-
$API = new COM('API7.API');
$API-Init($SerialNo, $Login, '', 1, '', 1);
$API-SignOutOnTerminate = True;
$Record = new COM(Data.Record);
$Record-Init($API-SessionContext);
$Record-Fields('BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME') = 'Test Account';//doesn't work
-
I've also tried (below) but the API says wrong number of parameters
$Record-Fields('BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME', 'Test Account');
I've also tried something crazy like this (below) but that overwrites
the $Record object.
$_R = $Record-Fields('BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME');
$_R = 'Test Account';
Any ideas? Is it possible?

That example isn't assigning values to method return value. Fields is a
collection of ADO Field objects. The default property of a Field object is
its Value property, so the shorthand is simply assigning the values of the
variables to the value of each field in a record within a Recordset.
Andrew
So ..
$oBank-BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME = Test account;
sort of thing.

Richard has the general idea correct, but as I recall it is a little
more involved because it's COM. I've never done that much with COM in
PHP because it was always such a pain. The example you posted probably
used to require com_set() in PHP 4, although it looks like that has
been deprecated in favor of a more typical OO syntax in PHP 5. Is
there any chance there is a PHP version of the library that you can
work with to avoid COM? If not, hopefully what follows will help start
you on the right direction.
A more explicit version of your original VBScript example looks like this:
Set oBank = New CBank
oBank.Init Application.SessionContext
Set oField = oBank.Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME)
oField.Value = Test account
Set oField = oBank.Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NO)
oField.Value = 12345
Set oField = oBank.Fields(BANK_fld_BANK)
oField.Value = Bank of the Nation
Set oField = oBank.Fields(BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME)
oField.Value = State Street Branch
oBank.Save
I'm not familiar with your CBank COM class, but the rest of it looks
like it is similar to the COM('ADODB.Recordset'). If so, a rough
translation of your original example should resemble this:
?php
// I'm not familiar with this object, so I'm guessing on the call to
instantiate it here.
$oBank = new COM('CBank');
/**
Application.SessionContext in the original refers to an object that is
global to every request in an application. PHP does not have such a
global registry, so I'm not sure where you're $config needs to come
from.
*/
$oBank-Init($config);
/**
I am assuming that BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME and such are constant names
that were already defined with the names of the actual column names in
a recordset returned by $oBank.
*/
$oBank-Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NAME)-Value = Test account;
$oBank-Fields(BANK_fld_ACCOUNT_NO)-Value = 12345;
$oBank-Fields(BANK_fld_BANK)-Value = Bank of the Nation;
$oBank-Fields(BANK_fld_BRANCH_NAME)-Value = State Street Branch;
$oBank-Save();
?
I don't know if you could leave out the -Value part of the syntax in
PHP like you can in the VBScript example you posted. If so, then
Richard's syntax would have been pretty

Re: [PHP] strlen ?
Try with mb_strlen see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-strlen.php 2013/7/5 Jim Giner jim.gi...@albanyhandball.com Trying to manage line breaks in some output I'm generating and using strlen to measure the lengths of the strings I'm printing. Discovered something strange (to me!) in that strlen is returning +1 more than it should. The strings are from a query of my database - simple name fields. But everyone of them is coming back with a length that is one more than I see. Ex. Mike Hall comes back as 10, not 9 F.B. comes back as 5, not 4. I've looked at my data and counted the chars - there is no extra space at the beginning or end in my table.

Ahhh.
So - you should run a query that selects the products and information that
you want. Then you start by creating an html table header and then loop
through your query results and echo a table row for each result row.
// start the table
echo table border=1;
echo trthProduct/thth**Amount/th/tr;
// loop thru each item found
while ($results = $qrslts-fetch(PDO::FETCH_**ASSOC))
{
echo trtd.$results['product_**name']./tdtd.$results['**
product_amt']./td/tr;
}
// finish the table html
echo /table;
Yes that part is OK. I do have problem to add total weight and package at
bottom of the table like this:
Product_one 40kg
Product_two 60kg
-
Total: 100kg

Because sometimes it is only a few products and other times many products.
I then need to summing them at bottom. One timer only 3 rows, other times
20 rows. The program need a way to add every singel product and see if it's
a few or many,

Thanks Jim and Anthony. Jim, You are right, your solution is doable. But one thing I am a little skeptical about, is what would be the percentage of the people willing to suggest a new name immediately, versus the percentage of people who would like to cancel the current upload, and come back later after walking and coming up with a new name.

Numerically for example and then just switch it back to the uploaded file name when either displaying it or sending it back to the user. You should also place all files outside the web root so it's harder to execute bad files. And prolly filter for files types.

Hi all,
I would like to make a timeout length to session variables, so that if a user
didn't use the browser page for let's say 5 minutes - the session variables
would expire and the user would need to login again.
Q: What's the best way to implement this functionality?
You can either use cookies or do something like that:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3068744/php-session-timeout
In your case is would be
if ($_SESSION['timeout'] + 5 * 60 time()) {
// session timed out
} else {
// session ok

I seem to have hit an early obstacle that I'd like your opinion on. I try
to pass an array to the mongo insert function, but for some reason the
function does not recognize the array I'm passing. Even though I can
perform a var_dump() on the array and see the contents.

And here's the code:

Re: [PHP] mongo usage
| You commented out the setting of yhe addresses variable
Those were both equivalent ways of stating the same thing. I tried
substituting the other statement but there was no change:
$db = $connection-jfdb;
//$collection = $db-addresses;
$adresses = $connection-jfdb-adresses;
Thanks again!

Hey all,
I'm trying to pick up some basic use of MongoDB using PHP.
I seem to have hit an early obstacle that I'd like your opinion on. I try
to pass an array to the mongo insert function, but for some reason the
function does not recognize the array I'm passing. Even though I can
perform a var_dump() on the array and see the contents.
Here's the output I'm seeing (with error):
Mongo Test Page array(6) { [first_name]= string(5) Peter
[last_name]= string(6) Parker [address]= string(16) 175 Fifth
Avenue [city]= string(8) New York [state]= string(2) NY
[zip]= string(5) 10010 }

Thank you for the comment. I switched to PHP5.4.17-NTS-VC9, but the application still crashes. And still no clue as to why. So, still looking for that magic method to get PHP to report what's happening on a 500 Internal Server Error when it's (presumably? not sure...) not the server's fault. Have you got all your extensions updated? Enable display_startup_errors. Try running the command line PHP ... php -r echo 1; With your config.

Just to state the required disclaimers: phpinfo.php with ? phpinfo() ? works. Liberally peppering a tracer routine throughout the application shows it is getting executed up until one spot. But there is nothing obviously wrong with the code. Nothing! That's why I need the guaranteed message delivery on why PHP does not like the code. Turn on all your error reporting/logging. Add a try/catch if appropriate. Turn off any unhandled exception processing. Load in XDebug and get a trace going, what is the code doing prior to failure? -- Richard Quadling Twitter : @RQuadling

In that case I would recommend using a text input field and validate it with
javascript and then validate it again on the server-side with PHP. With
multiple select fields the only way you'll know which one the user (i.e. you)
meant is by resetting the others to an empty value whenever one of them changes.

Re: [PHP] Web dev, DB and proper db design.
I think it depends on the application. A lot of small web apps simply don't need any kind of normalization, and it really does make sense to put everything in one table, or a couple of unlinked tables. Therefore, on those apps, there's no need for foreign keys. For instance: I used one in-house application that had two tables: A list of authorized users with their passwords and a couple of other things (administrative role, security level, things like that), and a table that contained information about computers used in the the department. Sure, some of the users had a computer in the department, but not all of them. So there was really no need to link the tables. And since the information stored about the computers was stuff like owner, name, MAC, and IP address, there was no need for foreign keys in that table either: it just wouldn't make sense. Now, anything much more complex then that there's going to be some value in using foreign keys, whether formally (constraints set in the DB) or informally (constraints imposed in the web interface), but it's quite possible the guy had never worked on something where they were needed. -Andy .

This variable contains the number of company and can change. as I can handle this? Hi, Fernando, welcome. I'm just a little unsure what you mean by number of company -- is this a count, as in 10 companies, or is it a phone number, or is it something else? Jim's reply is workable -- storing session values is quite useful, but sessions are tied to a specific browser client/ip, and I'm not sure that's what you want/need here. If you are looking for setting a global variable that will be available everywhere in your application, you can use $GLOBALS, or set it from the very top level context of the application. Given you're using CodeIgniter, which sadly I am not versed in, you may need to set it with $GLOBALS: $GLOBALS['my_var'] = 10; // whatever you need to do here When you say it changes, how and when exactly does it change? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You can try this: *ALTER TABLE tbl AUTO_INCREMENT = 100;* * * *Source: *http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/example-auto-increment.html (never did it myself, though) On Wed, Jun 26, 2013 at 2:07 PM, Tedd Sperling t...@sperling.com wrote: Hi gang: I have a client where their next auto-increment number just jumped from 2300 to 10 for reasons not understood.
