Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk I had a look at some of the results from that link to Google, but I didn't see anything indicating MySQL was slower at ordering than PHP, only that MySQL has issues ordering very large query sets on queries that it cannot use an index to order on. I've tried optimising ordering in both PHP and MySQL, and found that usually it's best to leave as much to the database as possible, unless the ordering becomes too complex.

Hiyah, Well the mysql docs confirm that utf8_general_ci is accent-insensitive and case-insensitive ( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.4/en/charset-collation-implementations.html).

Re: [PHP] Order directory output
opendir/readdir does not promise to deliver the files in any

Put them in an array and sort() if it's a small list of files.
Or use exec and ls -als or somesuch for a large list of files.
Or...
glob *might* be documented to do things in a certain order, but I
doubt it.

Here is another, generic extension filter with SPL. Untested, and I have
just woken up, so if it doesn't work... :-P
class ExtensionFilter extends FilterIterator {

$this-it = $it;
$this-ext = $ext;

Re: [PHP] order/reorder pull out data from arrays
Ok I understand your method now. your code does not match your output. how
would your print line produce that , $customerid ?
anyways...
$data = orders($id,$status);
$c = count($data);
$currentId;
$n = 1;
for($i=0; $i$c; $i++) {
$orderid = $data[$i]['orderid'];
$customerid = $data[$i]['customerid'];
$name = $data[$i]['name'];
if($currentid == $customerid) {
//Continue current customer group
print $orderid.' - '.$customerid.' - '.$name.'br';
} else {
//Begin a new group...
$currentId = $customerid;
Print(Customer .$n);
$n++;
}
}
I'm kind of headed out so its a bit rushed and the example above wont work
as given but you get the idea from the two comments I added...

I don't think include_once is THAT smart... Or maybe it just assumes you are using include_path in a sane way and not doing this in the first place... :-) include and include_once have nothing to do with the current file. They ONLY look at your include_path. Your include_path MIGHT (and probably should, in many applications) have '.' as one of the directories in it. But even then, I believe '.' simply means current working directory, so unless you are dinking around with http://php.net/chdir (which you probably shouldn't, usually) then it's just gonna be the ONE directory of the very first PHP file loaded, no matter where all the other files are.

Since you want them in a particular order, use the KEY of the array to order them: input type=checkbox name=array[0] / I'm first. input type=checkbox name=array[1] / I'm second. input type=checkbox name=array[2] / I'm third. 1) Is there a way to present the checkboxes in a certain order, yet have the data transmitted into the $_POST super global in a different order?

Re: [PHP] order of elements in $_POST super global
Hi Dave, No, that is definitely a possibility. Right now I am using a foreach loop to iterate over the $_POST array and determine if each checkbox is checked or not, if it is checked, than a related piece of data is written into the text file. This makes for pretty compact code. I could as you suggest, simply check each element in the array manually using the associative keys rather than using a loop, that way I could do it in any order I wished, but the code gets rather long with a line for each checkbox. I anticipate this set of checkboxes/boolean responses may increase in the future also, so having the loop allows for some future-proofing. - Ben On 6/8/06, Dave Goodchild [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 08/06/06, Ben Liu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You can access the values in the $_POST array in any order, so if you know the checkbox names why not output them in the order you want?

why not create an array with the keys in the order you want ( $array=
array(value1,value2,). Then loop through the array and use the
values as keys to the $_POST variable and perform your processing that way.
foreach ($array as $value) {

RE: [PHP] Order of extensions in php.ini matters?
You have the correct order. Exif relies on functionality provided by mbstring.dll, therefore it must be loaded after it. -Original Message- I'm trying to use the EXIF extension (PHP 5, Windows XP). Order didn't seem to matter before (PHP 4). But now, if my php.ini is like: extension=php_exif.dll extension=php_mbstring.dll PHP gives an unable to load module error.

Hi Karl,
The problem is in your formatting.
$specs_query = mysql_query(select title, information from spec where
product=.$id order by id asc);
Try this instead
$specs_query = mysql_query('SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product=' . $id . ' ORDER BY id ASC');
Note the use of single quotes (it's faster)
You could have just done this with double quotes:
$specs_query = mysql_query(SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product=$id ORDER BY id ASC);
It might also be a good idea to put single quotes around $id if it comes
from user input:
$specs_query = mysql_query('SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product=\'' . $id . '\' ORDER BY id ASC');
- OR -
$specs_query = mysql_query(SELECT title, information FROM spec WHERE
product='$id' ORDER BY id ASC);

Your order of evaluation is correct. But, considering the password
length is evaluated in the set_password() function, checking empty()
first is a waste of time in 99% of cases.
Hm. I threw in a test echo statement in the class method, to make sure
that it wasn't being accessed if $_POST['newpassword'] is in fact
empty. The test echo statement is displaying on the receiving page,
however, even though there is nothing in $_POST['newpassword'].
Here's my class method:
function set_password($password)
{ echo p class=\warning\set_password() accessed, the new
password is '$this-password'/p; //
remove
after bug testing
if (!preg_match('/\d/', $password) ||
!preg_match('/^[-A-Za-z0-9!@#$%^*()_ +=\?]{6,10}$/',
$password) ||
!preg_match('/[A-Za-z]/', $password)) {
return false;
} else {
$this-password = $password;
return true;
}
}
and here's the code that's hitting the method (but shouldn't be):
// the Person class is needed here
require_once('./includes/Person_class.inc');
// create a new Person instance
$user = new Person();
if (!$user-set_email($_POST['email'])) {
$error_message = invalid email;
} elseif ( (!empty($_POST['newpassword']) $_POST['newpassword']
!=
$_POST['confirmpassword']) ||
(!$user-set_password($_POST['newpassword'])) ) {
$error_message = p class=\warning\/p\n;
} else {
$success_message = changeinfo_process(serialize($user));
}
if ($error_message) {
return $error_message;
} elseif ($success_message) {
return $success_message;
} else {
die(No error or success message?);
}
// destroy the Person instance
unset($user);
On the next page, the echo from my class method is appearing:
set_password() accessed, the new password is ''
But as you can see, the value of $_POST['newpassword'] is an empty
string -- shouldn't the elseif statement testing for
!empty($_POST['newpassword'] catch this?
Much thanks to anyone with clearer thinking than I.

What happened was the elseif test I was performing was checking to see
if either one of two conditions was true:
1st condition: newpassword is empty, and newpassword does not equal
confirmpassword
2nd condition: set_password() fails
In my case, both newpassword and confirmpassword were empty strings, so
the first condition evaluated to true. This forced the parser to
evaluate the second part of the expression (after the ||), which
accessed the set_password() method after all.
By adding a second !empty($_POST['newpassword']) to the second half of
the expression (after the ||), I solved my problem.
$error_message = p class=\warning\/p\n;
} else {
$success_message = changeinfo_process(serialize($user));
}
if ($error_message) {
return $error_message;
} elseif ($success_message) {

Re: [PHP] Order of focus for text entry inputs

From Wilbur (about the INPUT tag) The ACCESSKEY and TABINDEX attributes apply to all input types except hidden. ACCESSKEY specifies a single Unicode character as a shortcut key for giving focus to the form control. Authors can set the access key on the INPUT element or the LABEL element associated with it. Entities (e.g. eacute;) may be used as the ACCESSKEY value. The TABINDEX attribute specifies a number between 0 and 32767 to indicate the tabbing order of the element. A form control with TABINDEX=0 or no TABINDEX attribute will be visited after any elements with a positive TABINDEX. Among positive TABINDEX values, the lower number receives focus first. In the case of a tie, the element appearing first in the HTML document takes precedence. -- David Robley Techno-JoaT, Web Maintainer, Mail List Admin, etc CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES Flinders University, SOUTH AUSTRALIA The world is so big and so global now. -- 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]

Re: [PHP] ORDER PROBLEMS
Rafael, Couple of things ... see below. I'm doing this without checking the MySQL docs, so validate this against them.

Generally, when you store numeric values in a character field, you have to left pad them with zeroes otherwise you get strange ordering behaviour. If you want to do arithmetic on these values, don't store them as characters, store them as one of the numeric types. If you store numbers as characters, don't waste space with varchar, use a straight char type. As for ordering, that is a function of your SELECT statement. Example: select * from vote_results order by votes will order results by an ascending count of votes. select * from vote_results order by votes desc will order results by a descending count of votes. select * from vote_results order by votes, average will order results by an ascending count of votes and then by ascending averages within the returned set. (I don't know what the point of this would be.) A comment on your average field. Databases can calculate averages _very_ quickly and it may be better to do that in your SELECT statement.
