[PHP] Sending no content-type header?
I'm running a few simple php scripts from the (windows) command line. Since I'm not using a web browser to view it, the HTTP headers are annoying and pointless. I've turned expose_php off in php.ini, but commenting out default_mimetype changes nothing, and setting it to an empty string sends a blank content-type header.

[PHP] Need Redirection Trick...
Hello Everyone,
I have a simple problem that, I think, might require a little trick to be
used. I have a list of products in a database that is organized by
categories and subcategories. Categories can have as many subcategories as
it wants, but some categories don't need to have a subcategory at all.
In the following code cat refers to category and subcat refers to
subcategory.
cat_data and subcat_data refers to a multi-dimentional array, pulled from
the DB, with values of an id and a name.
example: cat_data[row_number][name_of_category] and
cat_data[row_number][id].
Ok, before I ask the question, here's the code:
[-- snip --]
?php
include (nay_general.php);
include ($include_path/base_db.class); // db
$db = new base_db();
$cat_data = $db-get_cat_data();
for ($i=0; $i count($cat_data); $i++) {
echo 'a href=' . $PHP_SELF . ?cat_id= . $cat_data[$i][id] . '' .
$cat_data[$i][name] . /abr /\n;
if ($cat_id) {
$subcat_data = $db-get_subcat_data($cat_id);
if ($subcat_data != 0 ($cat_id == $cat_data[$i][id])) {
for ($j=0; $j count($subcat_data); $j++) {
echo 'nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;- a href=' . $PHP_SELF .
?cat_id=$cat_idsubcat_id= . $subcat_data[$j][id] . '' .
$subcat_data[$j][name] . /abr /\n;
}
}
elseif ($subcat_data == 0 ($cat_id == $cat_data[$i][id])) {
$subcat_id = 0;
header(Location: $PHP_SELF?cat_id=$cat_idsubcat_id=$subcat_id);
}
}
}
?
[-- snip --]
What this does is it lists all the categories in the database, initially.
When the user clicks on a category, the script will check if the category
has any subcategories associated with it. One of two things should happen
after this.
First, it should list all the subcategories directly below the category it
is associated with, with a little indention to specify that they are
subcategories. The subcategories listed will be a link that passes over the
cat_id and subcat_id GET variables to the same page.
example:category 1
category 2
- subcategory 1
- subcategory 2
- subcategory 3
category 3
.
.
.
This part of the script works fine.
The second thing that should happen is that if there are actually no
subcategories for the selected category then subcat_id should equal 0 and
the script should redirect back to the same page with the GET variables of
cat_id and subcat_id (which is equal to zero at this point). The problem is
that I cannot redirect with a header() function because content is already
sent to the browser at the beginning of the script (the list of categories).
Is there any other way that I can redirect and send the variables of cat_id
and subcat_id to the page in the second situation mentioned earlier?

Re: [PHP] PHP includes without access to the default directory
On Thu, 5 Dec 2002, Gundamn wrote:
I have a hosted account. As such, I am unable to use the default location
for files when used with the include command. So could somebody tell me how
I can either make it go to a different directory, or to link to something
(and how to add the variable as the filename)?
Thank you in advance.
My usual approach is to have an includes/ directory, at the same level
as the htdocs/ directory, and thus outside the webspace. In this
includes/ directory I put an include.php file which includes any other
files needed with include_once, like so:
?
include_once INC_DIR . '/config.php';
include_once INC_DIR . '/functions.php';
?
In htdocs/ I put another include.php, which basically says:
?
define ('INC_DIR', '../includes');
include INC_DIR . '/include.php';
?
In any subdirectories of htdocs/ I put a similar file, except one level
deeper it'd be:
?
define ('INC_DIR', '../../includes');
include INC_DIR . '/include.php';
?
For each subdir level, add a ../ to the define.
On a hosted account, you may instead have to put your includes/
directory elsewhere. In this case, the include.php in htdocs/ would
just be
?
define ('INC_DIR', '/path/to/includes');
include INC_DIR . '/include.php';
?
and the sub-directory scripts just
?
include '../include.php';
?
Either way, the goal though is to have an include.php file in each
directory of your webspace that references a single include.php file
with relative (../) paths. Coupled with keeping your includes outside
the webroot, this can make include files a lot less troublesome.
A bit of overhead, true, but it keeps my configs, db passwords, and
library code entirely out of the webspace. I've used it successfully in
a large site (150 user-accessible scripts, 25 library scripts, totalling
about 1M of php)
One big warning about include files... PHP's include functions work
counter-intuitively in that all relative paths are relative to the
script that caught the user's request. Thus if you have a bunch of
scripts in a lib/ directory, they can't include each other without
taking into account the path from the calling script... Thus why I try
to define INC_DIR as early as possible if it's relative.
Hope this helps...

[PHP] ANNOUNCE: Metastorage object persistence API generator
Hello, Finally I made time to release a full blown application based on MetaL compiler persistence module. Here is the release announcement that may also be found on the site: http://www.meta-language.net/news-2002-12-05-metastorage.html _ Released Metastorage generator Manuel Lemos, 2002-12-05 16:11:44 GMT Metastorage is an application that is capable of generating persistence layer APIs. It takes a component definition defined in the Component Persistence Markup Language (CPML), a XML based format, and generates classes and storage schemas in a given target programming language. Using CPML, developers can focus their efforts on the modeling of data structures that hold the information and the relationships between the entities that their applications deal with. Metastorage takes care of generating all the necessary code to store and retrieve such data structures from persistent storage containers like relational databases. The main goal of Metastorage is to drastically reduce the time to develop applications that traditionally use on SQL based relational databases. The generated APIs consist of a sets of classes that provide an Object Oriented interface to the objects of the classes modeled using CPML. The generated APIs are also capable of installing the data schema in the persistence container, which in the case of a relational database is the set of tables that will hold the persistent objects. This completely eliminates the need to write any SQL queries manually. CPML is independent of the type of persistent container. This means that while it can be used to model classes of persistent objects that may be stored in relational databases, such objects may as well be stored in other types of persistence containers. For instance, if an application needs to move a directory of objects with user information from a relational database to a LDAP server to increase the application scalability, the same CPML component definition would be used. Metastorage would then generate classes objects that implement the same API for interfacing with a LDAP server that is compatible with the API generated to interface with relational databases. This make the migration process easier and with reduced risks. Another possible benefit of the persistence container independence of the APIs generated by Metastorage, is the case where an application may need to run in environments where a SQL based database server is not available. In that case the same API could be generated to store persistent objects in flat file databases or plain XML files. For now, the current version of Metastorage only supports the generation of PHP code based on the database independent Metabase API. This means that it may also interface with PEAR::MDB database abstraction layer using its built-in Metabase API wrapper. In consequence, many types of relational databases are already supported. Since this is the first release of Metastorage, there is plenty of room for improvement in the possibilities of the generated persistence APIs and the level of optimization of the generated code. In the future it will be supported other languages besides PHP, other database APIs besides Metabase and other persistence containers besides relational databases. Metastorage is based on MetaL compiler persistence module. Like MetaL, Metastorage is Open Source and is distributed with BSD like software license. Downloadable archives and documentation with an example of component definition are available from the MetaL site. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] empty string parameters to backslashes?
Hey all -
I'm trying to track down a problem with someone else's
code. Our hosting service changed PHP versions on us
(up to 4.0.6), and everything broke. I think I have
tracked down at least part of the problem. We have a
function:
funA($args)
{
$file = substr($args[0],0, -1); //file to open from path
$alt = $args[1]; //if invalid/no file, use this file
$name = $args[2]; //the name associated with the tabs
$size = $args[3]; //size to make the box (optional)
print funA START: file: . $file . , name: . $name . , alt: . $alt . ,
size: . $size . BR;
. . .
}
Called like this:
funA(nameString, , , 177);
But the output of the print statement looks like this:
funA START: file: productBrief, name: \, alt: \, size: 177\
So where did the darned backslashes come from? Any ideas?
thanks,
andy wallace
