[PHP] Re: OOP Hello World
Me... again, still boring you to death with meaningless OOP rantings.
First I would like to point out that there was a design mistake in what I
proposed in the last mail (following afterwards): the Saluter shouldn't be
an abstract class, it isn't correct to base your class hierarchy on the
ability to greet (or in the ability to do something generally speaking). If
it's done that way we'll have classes coexisting in the same branch of the
class tree, but possibly having completely different nature. Saluter should
be an interface:
interface class Saluter {
public function greet(Salutable $receiver);
}
class FormalSaluter implements Saluter {
public function greet(Salutable $receiver) {
echo Hello . $receiver-getSalutationName() . \n;
}
}
Then, I'll try to translate what has been said in the spanish list.
It has been proposed that World should be a singleton, since there is only
one world... but this arguable, at metaphysic level perhaps...
Also an observer pattern could be used so anyone can hear the greetings. But
I think this should be done on the design of the greeting enviroment
abstraction (to provide other places than standard output where the greeting
can be said).
The saluters factory should use a factory method pattern or an abstract
factory pattern? I think an abstract factory is not appropiate in this case,
the creation process is not that complex to require this kind of design
pattern.
Also I proposed that decorators could be used to add styles to the greeting
for outputs that allow styling (e.g.:html). In this case maybe an abstract
factory would be appropiate, so that decorated saluters are created for the
appropiate type of output, combined with a builder pattern to create the
decorated saluters (this last part I thought it just now, I'll post it later
on the spanish list)
Well, I think that sums it all up.

What's up folks?
I just wanted to tell you about a thread that's going on in the spanish
php mailing list. A fellow software developer which had just started with
OOP was asking for Hello World examples using OOP. The examples of code he
had been doing was not that different from the usual Hello World example we
all know and love(?), so I thought he was missing the point of what was the
purpose of using OOP. This was my reply (I'll try to keep the translation as
accurate as possible):
I believe you have misunderstood what is the purpose of OOP, your objects
are not proper abstractions.
First and most important, you should define what is the problem to solve:
greet the world.
We build an abstraction of the problem and its main components: somebody
who greets and something to greet.
Here we're working with generalizations, since our main objective is to
build reusable objects. For that purpose is useful that our saluter could
be used to greet more than just the world.
Therefore we'll first define what kind of interaction we expect the
salutation receivers to have, in the following interface:
interface Salutable {
public function getSalutationName();
}
In this interface we have all we need to properly greet any entity: the
name we should use when doing the salutation.
Then we create the object which represents the world:
class World implements Salutable {
public function getSalutationName() {
return World;
}
}
Now we're missing a saluter, but we're not sure which way of greeting
would be appropiate, so we prefer to create an abstract saluter and leave
the child implementation to decide the appropiate greeting:
abstract class Saluter {
abstract public function greet(Salutable $receiver);
}
In our case we need a formal saluter as we should not disrespect the world
(saying hey! wazzup world? could be offensive), then:
class FormalSaluter extends Saluter {
public function greet(Salutable $receiver) {
echo Hello . $receiver-getSalutationName() . \n;
}
}
Finally we make our saluter greet the world:
$saluter = new FormalSaluter();
$world = new World();
$saluter-greet($world);
Other things you should keep in mind:
* PHP's type hinting is preety limited, in this case we would like to
indicate that the name should be provided as a string but we can't. Maybe it
would be useful to use an object as a wrapper for native strings. EDIT: I
remembered while translating this that type hinting can only be used in
function parameters, therefore this point is useless.
* En this model it seems more appropiate that the saluter is an abstract
class, since salutation works one way, but, in the event salutations became
a two way trip, an interface would be more appropiate for the saluters.
* Here we're sending the salutation to the standard output, which is
acceptable in this case, but a more complex abstration would require us to
indicate where we should procede with the salutation, and we will have to
provide an abstraction for the possible salutation
Re: [PHP] Re: OOP Hello World
Double-checking.
Nope.
It wasn´t from the Java mailing list, they're still talking about
hibernate... they'll probably give a damn about this thing anyway, because
they're all oop gurus, what would they care about a hello world?
PHP seems to be getting more and more object oriented, I think it's the
right time to start questioning what have been done so far in terms of OOP
in PHP, because, honestly, there are too many php classes being distributed
out there that are a complete mess. Forget about spaghethi code, we have to
deal with pizza classes too.

Hi,
I'm trying to lay my hands on PHP OOP, but it's not easy :(
I've read several examples in the web, but cannot transpose to may case.
I'm trying to set a class to make SQL inserts in mysql.
I have the class:
-
?php
class dBInsert
{
// global variables
var $first;
// constructor
function dBInsert($table, $sql)
{
$this-table = $table;
$this-sql = $sql;
return(TRUE);
}
// function that constructs the sql and inserts it into the database
function InsertDB($sql)
{
print($sql);
// connect to MySQL
$conn-debug=1;
$conn = ADONewConnection('mysql');
$conn-PConnect('localhost', 'deckard', 'ble', 'wordlife');
if ($conn-Execute($sql) === false)
print 'error inserting: '.$conn-ErrorMsg().'BR';
return (TRUE);
}
}
and the code that calls it:
?php
include_once(classes/dBInsert.php);
$sql = INSERT INTO wl_admins VALUES ('',2);
$dBInsert = new dBInsert('wl_admins', '$sql');
$dBInsert-InsertDB('$sql');
?
but it's not working ?
Can anyone give me a hand here ?
I've read the manuals, examples, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Deckard

For database interaction, give PDO a chance: http://php.net/pdo
IMO it's cleaner and more efficient than adodb.
Then, I believe what you're trying to make is a query builder. I would break
down the differente parts of an sql query and create abstractions for each
part (some can be reused on different types of queries), then have builder
create the queries abstractions from the different parts.
Re: [PHP] Help on objects
2006/10/5, Satyam [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I've seen you already had a good answer on the errors in the code so I won't go on that. As for OOP, the one design error you have is that you are asking for an action, not an object. You want to make SQL inserts, that is your purpose, and that is an action, which is solved by a statement, not by an object. There is no doer. Objects are what even your English teacher would call objects while describing a sentence. You are asking for a verb, you don't have a subject, you don't have an object. Of course you can wrap an action in a class, but that is bad design. Classes will usually have names representing nouns, methods will be verbs, properties adjectives, more or less, that's OOP for English teachers. Satyam You're wrong, partially: an action can be an object and it's not necessarily a bad design, take for example function objects or the program and statements as objects in lisp-like languages. It's acceptable to make a class that works as an abstract representation of an sql query. This kind of classes are used very efficiently in object persistence libraries. What I agree with you is that it's not right that this class works as the insert action and not as a representation of the insert operation.

Well I'm not going to argue with you that there is plenty of crap code
out there. PHP or not. OOP or not.
And I'm all for taking OOP in PHP seriously, but I also think it's
worth keeping in mind that the real power in PHP is not it's object
oriented capabilities, but rather its simplicity and flexibility.
And, well, I don't know if your Hello, World example keeps that in
mind.
I'd rather say that we have different concepts of what is simple and
flexible, and both concepts are aceptable.
I know that plenty of people on this list want to have a serious
conversation about OOP for PHP (should we just start using OOPHP as
the new acronym? or maybe POOPH? Or... PHOOP?!? Wait, that's not
taking thing seriously...), but I don't think a complex Hello, World
made of Saluters, Salutables, factories and abstractions is taking it
serious. I think it's exhausting the theory and using various design
patterns for the sake of using design patterns...
It seems we've differents approaches to what is complex and what is simple
(in terms of computer systems). I think being serious about OOP is start
thinking even the simplest of problem from an OOP perspective. I just
exposed the Hello World as an example, off course it seems like using a nuke
to kill a mosquito, but here I'm not thinking about efficiency or efficacy,
it's about training the mind into the OOP methodologies and ways of
thinking. Like training your body, once the mind sees everything in terms of
object abstraction, OOP will be as natural as breathing.
The kind of thinking that OOP it's just a *super* feature of a programming
language that should be used only for highly complex problems, is what I
want to eradicate. OOP doesn't stand neither as a language feature nor as
extra capabilities of a language, on the contrary, it takes some freedom
away from the programmer. I see OOP as a way of thinking and working, that
should be used in the most complex problem and the most simple problem
equally.
But really all of this comes down to the imutable truth about
programming in PHP: there are a *million* ways to skin a cat. When
you heard OOP + Hello, World, you thought about people/things
greeting each other. When I heard it, I thought about an application
outputing a string. The guy who started that particular thread
probably thought of something totally different. Who's to say who is
right?
Off course, no one can say which is the right way to solve a problem, and I
will not hide the fact that OOP is just a coder's whim. I'm just inviting
you over to this whim, I can assure you that it's a healthy and beneficial
whim, it's not just a Java hype. At least it's healthier whim than web2.0.
Hey, take my words as mine alone though. Maybe I was the only one
that got my joke. It's happened before.
Nope, I caught your joke, and I found it amusing. Though every joke hides a
truth, as I can explain a hello world in oop laughing and being serious at
the same time.

You should look into getting Professional PHP5 by Lecky-Thompson,
Eide-Goodman, Nowicki and Cove from WROX. It's a good introduction to
using PHP5 with design patterns to solve problems similar to yours.
Plus, the knowledge can be applied to other object oriented
programming languages, not just PHP5. It's also been out for a while
so it may be in the sale section already.
The collection class in chapter 5 discusses a programming problem
just like yours.

[PHP] fwrite() timeout
Hi, I am using the fsockopen(), fwrite() and fread() functions to get a web page from a remote server. The remote server is currently down and I see the code hangs on the fwrite() call. Is there a way how to set a timeout for the fwrite() remote call? I have found the stream_set_timeout(), but it seems not to be effective on the fwrite(), only on fread().

[PHP] problems re-reading from socket
I have a daemon class which reads and answers using socket_read and
socket_write functions. The things is that I connect to the daemon,
sent a chain and the I get an answer, but after that the daemon get's
struck in the next socket_read.
The problem appears to be here (a method from my class). I put the 2 echos
for debugging purposses:
function socketRead(){
echo Vamos a leer nomas!\n;
$lectura = socket_read($this-conexion, 2048, PHP_NORMAL_READ);
echo $lectura;
return $lectura;
}
In th output from the socket daemon I get the 2 strings (generated by
the 2 echos), after that I get again the first echo, but no matter how
I try to send a new string to the socket, it just stays there reading
from the socket.
By the way $this-conexion is a socket resource from socket_accept. Also
the socket reads and answers one time, so it is working, but after that
first answer it stays reading. All this I'm testing from the console using
a telnet to the socket.

Re: [PHP] Clarification: Jump to a record/PHP paging...
To solve a problem like yours I ussualy do the following: First you need to use a deterministic order criteria when displaying the results, this means that according to the order columns you provide, MySQL will not have to decide how to order two rows that have the same values for this columns. For example, if you order an users table by the first name of the user, there might be two users with the same name, and MySQL will order them the way it founds more convenient. One way to do this is using an uniquely indexed column in the order criteria. The primary key would be a nice idea. You don't need to enforce an order criteria to the listing, you can simply add the primary key as the last column in the order by and that will be enough. Then, look for the record you need and store the values it has for the columns used in the order. With that info you can build a query which will return how many records there are, in the listing, before the one you sought before: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table WHERE order_column1 'order_column1_value' OR (order_column1 = 'order_column1_value' AND order_column2 'order_column2_value') OR (order_column1 = 'order_column1_value' AND order_column2 = 'order_column2_value' AND order_column3 'order_column3_value') ...etc... If the order direction of one column is descending instead of ascending, you should use instead of for that specific column. If you're worried about performance you should add indexes to the columns of the order criteria, which you probably have done so anyway. Also you should consider splitting this query in many queries: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table WHERE order_column1 'order_column1_value' SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table WHERE order_column1 = 'order_column1_value' AND order_column2 'order_column2_value' SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table WHERE order_column1 = 'order_column1_value' AND order_column2 = 'order_column2_value' AND order_column3 'order_column3_value' etc... and sum all the results. It seems that sometimes this run faster with a MySQL server, anyway, give it a try if you're worried about the query performance. The result will be the number of records before the one you sought, with that info getting the page of the record is piece of cake. 2006/12/23, T.J. Mahaffey [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I see now that I did not explain myself adequately. I think jump to record was the wrong way to put it. So, here goes. I already have excellent paging functionality working well, based on a nice tutorial at PHPFreaks. My problem is that when a user performs a search, I need to display the page on which their search string is found, but still display ALL records within the paging of the entire database. I've since discovered the core of what I need to do: 1. I can find the record I need through a simple query. 2. I can easily determine WHICH page this record is on by counting BACKWARDS from the found record to the FIRST record, totaling the number of records from record 1 to the found record. Then, by performing a bit of division, I can determine which page that record appears on and direct the user to ...page=8 via $_GET. SO, my question is: how might I have MySQL tell me how many records came BEFORE the found record? (FYI: there is currently no auto-incrementing ID on these records, so that obviously easy solution would be unavailable.) Thanks in advance for any insight. -- T.J.

The print lines above are supposed to produce a list of links to

In the web display I get duplicate sets of links which seems to mean
that the loops in the function are running twice, and in one instance
three times instead of once.
Look at the variable names you use for iteration.
Thanks, Usually, when a variable name like $i is used and then
reset to 0 in the next loop it does not matter. But I solved the
problem and posted the solution. I also solved the regex
problem. There was an extra \n sneaking into the test pattern
so I could not get a match. I am not sure where the extra \n is
coming from.
It looks like I didn't post the solution after all:
Update:
I solved the double loops problem with this code change:
function display($list, $a, $x)
{
for($i = 0; $i count($a); $i++)
{$j = $i + 1;
print a
href=\steps.php?list=$listnext=$jx=$x\$j/abrbr\n;
};
}
and:
if($list || $current)
{
switch($list)
{
case 'in':
display($list, $in, $x);
break;
case 'out':
display($list, $out, $x);
break;
case 'save':
display($list, $save, $x);
break;
case 'req':
display($list, $req, $x);
break;
}
}
Apparently what was happening was that the code running under 5.1.2
was trying to process all the arrays that had values in spite of the
switch
statement in the original display() function. If the was an $in array
the
switch would process that for the $list value being 'in' but since
there
was also a save value, the switch tried to process it also, even though
'save' wasn't the $list value. I found it would do this for all arrays
that
had values. So if three had values the loop selected loop would run
three times.
Could this be a bonafide bug?
JK
I suspect this is an EBSAC bug, but I'm not completely sure. Anyway, please
consider improving your coding style, its all messy and unreadable. Also,
you should provide a description of the calling conditions, since there
might be the cause of the error in the function.

Re: [PHP] array_intersect problem
2006/12/25, Leo Liu [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Hi,
I try to intersect associative array and it seems to fail to do so. Can
anyone show me a walk around?
For example I have
array1
Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[imageID] = 1
)
[1] = Array
(
[imageID] = 2
)
[2] = Array
(
[imageID] = 3
)
[3] = Array
(
[imageID] = 4
)
)
And array 2
Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[imageID] = 6
)
[1] = Array
(
[imageID] = 3
)
)
After intersection instead of me getting 3 as a result, I got the array
1 unchanged. Seems like intersection doesn't take place at all. Anyway to
solve this problem?
Regards,
Leo
Reality starts with Dream
Quote from php manual, in the reference for the array_intersect function:
*Note: * Two elements are considered equal if and only if (string) $elem1
=== (string) $elem2. In words: when the string representation is the same.
That's why array_intersect isn't working with your arrays.
If you're using PHP5 you could use array_uintersect, and compare the items
by the imageID:
function compareByImageID($elem1, $elem2) {
return $elem1['imageID'] - $elem2['imageID'];
}
$intersection = array_uinsersect($array1, $array2, 'compareByImageID');
Or you can do the following, which works in PHP4, but is not as versatile as
array_uintersect:
class InArrayFilter {
var $arr;
function InArrayFilter($arr) {
$this-arr = $arr;
}
function filterFunction($elem) {
return in_array($elem, $this-arr);
}
}
$filter = new InArrayFilter($array2);
$intersection = array_filter($array1, array($filter, 'filterFunction'));

Try the following:

The second argument is an array containing an entry for each argument of the

Since you don't have either arguments nor return value, empty arrays should

No offense, but I thought it's obvious what I want to print.
print_r() shows null, and it should print what you just wrote = array field.
It works when first defining with eval():
eval('$tpl'.$node.'=array();');
I guess that's the only way.
Anyway, I appreciate your quick reply,

Nope, you have to use the eval() everytime for read/write.

It's buggy... you need to test for an blank string to properly handle

I probably shouldn't trim... since we're not supporting quotes in any
way, it might be desirable to have a key that is one or more spaces...
for whatever reason :)
Personally, I have a similar implementation I use all the time, but I
use forward slashes to separate keys.

I also removed the (int) cast since integer keys will be cast
automatically by PHP and then it will have support for text keys also.

Hi there,
While this question can spur some neat solutions, it raises a red flag
in that if you need to do this, you probably need to rethink things a
bit.
In cases like this it is easier for people to help if you describe the
actual problem you are trying to solve, not how you think it needs to
be solved. It could be that you don't really need weird (but
beautiful, like Jim's idea) solutions. If you explain why you believe
that you need to do this in the first place, maybe someone can suggest
something else which doesn't require a weird solution (however
beautiful).
Torben
Hi, I am aware of this, but explaining my problem in this case would
take me an hour --- and eventually would lead to a) misunderstanding, b)
weird solution, c) no solution...

Hi,
I'm building a login system with AJAX/PHP/MySQL.
I have worked everything out... AJAX is sending request to a php login
script (login.php) who if authentication passes initializes the session and
sends the header using header(Location : registered_user_area.php);
The whole system works great without AJAX, but when I put AJAX in the story
I ahve one problem:
1.When the user is successfully authenticated the login.php sends the
header, but the AJAX XMLHttpRequest call is still in progress waiting for a
PHP response. So when PHP using the header function redirects to another
page that page is outputed to the login form...
My PHP login snippet is:
if ($res_hash == $u_pass) {
$logged_user = $sql_execution-last_query_result-user;
$sql_execution-exec_query(DELETE FROM seeds,false);
$sql_execution-db_disconnect();
session_start();
$_SESSION['user'] = $logged_user;
$host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$url = rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/\\') . '/mpls/index.php';
header(Location: http://$host$url;);//--That page
($host$url) is outputed in the login form...
exit();
}
else {

$sql_execution-db_disconnect();
echo 'BLS';//--This is sent when the password/username is

[PHP] Re: operators as callbacks?
Joe napsal(a):
Is it possible to use a PHP operator as a callback? Suppose I want to add two
arrays elementwise, I want to be able to do something like this:
array_map('+', $array1, $array2)
but this doesn't work as + is an operator and not a function.
I can use the BC library's math functions instead:
array_map('bcadd', $array1, $array2)
but that is an ugly hack that might break if the library is not available.
I can create an anonymous function:
array_map(create_function('$a, $b', 'return $a + $b;'), $array1, $array2)
but that seems really unnecessarily verbose.
Is there any simple clean way to do it? Thanks,

apparently the COM extension is designed to throw exceptions
in php5 (sometimes). which, regardless of the fact that this exception
is being thrown seems to be a complete error, would seem to mean that
you are going to have to change your code slightly to incorporate
at least one try/catch block around all your code in order
to avoid uncaught exceptions.

So, does the connection close automatically at the end of the script ?

Re: [PHP] simpleXML - simplexml_load_file() timeout?
Maybe you can read the contents of the feeds using fsockopen() and

to read it asynchronously, and then load the xml with
simplexml_load_string().

2006/4/10, darren kirby [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Hello all,
My website uses simpleXML to print the headlines from a few different RSS
feeds. The problem is that sometimes the remote feed is unavailable if there
are problems with the remote site, and the result is that I must wait for 30
seconds or so until the HTTP timeout occurs, delaying the rendering of my
site.
So far, I have moved the code that grabs the RSS feeds to the bottom of my
page, so that the main page content is rendered first, but this is only a
partial solution.
Is there a way to give the simplexml_load_file() a 5 second timeout before
giving up and moving on?
Here is my function:
function getFeed($remote) {
if (!$xml = simplexml_load_file($remote)) {
print Feed unavailable;
return;
}
print ul\n;
foreach ($xml-channel-item as $item) {
$cleaned = str_replace(, amp;, $item-link);
print lia href='$cleaned'$item-title/a/li\n;
}
print /ul\n;
}

Re: [PHP] Creating an OO Shopping Cart
The $_SESSION array is already being serialized before saving it to the
session datafile. You'll only have to:
$_SESSION['cart'] = $cart;
And before session_start():
require_once 'fileWhereClassIsDefined';
.
.
.
session_start();
If the class isn't defined before serialization (session start) an instance
of stdclass is created.
You should define the magic member functions __sleep and __wake if you
need to reopen any resource needed for your object (resources, as in opened
files, opened mysql connectios, mysql queries, ARE NOT serialized)

I'm creating my own Object Oriented PHP Shopping Cart.
I'm confused about the best way to call the functions of the class
given the static nature of the web.
For example, if I have a function addItem($code), how will this be
called from the catalog or product description pages where the BUY
buttons are?
On the product description page (say for product ABC213), there will
be a BUY button, but when the button is clicked, obviously I cannot
immediately call $cart-addItem('ABC213'). So how is this done?
Steve,
One way to preserve your cart object between page requests is to keep
it serialized in the session.
When the PHP program wakes up:
// begin session processing
session_start();
// if the cart already exists...
if (isset($_SESSION[cart])
{
// read the cart from the session
$oCart = unserialize($_SESSION[cart]);
}else{
// or create it
$oCart = new CartObject();
}
Before the PHP script ends:
// save the cart to the session
$_SESSION[cart] = serialize($oCart);
In the body of the script, you'll use $_GET and/or $_POST arrays to
feed user input into the cart object, and echo functions to write
each new page in response.
Does this help clarify, or am I stating only what you already know?

You don't need the unserialize(), it's done internally by the session_start(). All the things you put inside $_SESSION, except for resources, will be rebuilt when the session is regenerated.

Re: [PHP] array problem
You're wrong, he isn't using an associative array, since the keys used are
only integers.
array(10,10,40,30,30,10);
and
array(0=10,1=10,2=40,3=30,4=30,5=10);
create the same array.
The problem is that array_unique preserves keys (read the manual!!!)
If you don't want this, use array_values() to turn the array into a more
traditional array:
$a = array_values(array_unique($a));

The problem is not what it seems. PHP4 assigns object by copy, not by
reference. This is causing the call_user_func() to use a copy of the object
instead of the original object. So, all modifications are lost once the call
is done. One solution to this is to assign objects by reference:

$subtraction = array ($this, 'SubtractOne');

A bit of an oddity, this. There's some example code attached which
illustrates my problem.
I am attempting to call a method of an instance of an class from
outside that instance, using call_user_func().
What's happening is that my attempt to call
array ($this, 'AddOne')
is silently being rewritten into a call to
array ('Test', 'Addone')
in other words, instead of calling $test-AddOne I'm calling
Test::Addone. Thus, my expected output:
Add:1,Add:2,Add:3,Subtract:2,Subtract:1,Subtract:0,
becomes
Add:1,Add:1,Add:1,Subtract:-1,Subtract:-1,Subtract:-1,
So, my question is twofold:
a) How can I accomplish this?
b) Why is PHP silently modifying my code to mean something I didn't
write, rather than throwing up an error?

Re: [PHP] Help!
2006/4/28, Dave Goodchild [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi all - I am attempting to solve some maddening behaviour that has me totally stumped and before I take a blade to my throat I thought I would pick the brains of the group/hive/gang. I am working on a viral marketing application that uses multipart emails to notify entrants of their progress in the 'game'. I have a demo version which works fine, and the current rebranded version was also fine until the client asked for some changes then POW! I will try and define the issue as simply as I can. I am passing 11 arguments to a function called sendSantaMail (don't ask) and as a sanity check I have called mail() to let me know the values just before they are passed in to the function. I get this result: sendSantaMail That's just not a *declarative* way of naming a function. Then, 11 arguments Errr, passing an associative array with the email parameters wouldn't have been a cleaner and better option? Values to be passed to sendSantaMail: Friend Name: Treyt Friend Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sender Name: Bull Sykes Sender Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Prize ID: 1 Nominator ID: 2555004452133557e4d Nominee ID: 851355445213355cc6f Chain ID: CHAIN824452133561a8d - this is all good and correct. I also call mail from the receiving function to check the actual values received by the function and I get this: Values sent into sendSantaMail function: Friend Name: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Friend Email: Look what you may have won! Sender Name: 8 Use of undefined constant prize - assumed 'prize' Sender Email: 158 Sender Email: /home/friend/public_html/process1.php Prize: 1 Subject: 158 Nominator ID: 33238744520f5235b85 Nominee ID: 96658244520f524bb19 Chain ID: CHAIN84644520f525a56f What is happening? I have checked the order of values being passed in and the function prototype and they match in the correct order, there are no default values. I have been trying to solve this for two days and am particularly concerned that somewhere along the way the sender email value becomes the script name. One idea, you messed up somewhere. Use debug_print_backtrace() on the function to get a dump of function call stack. Use it with an if to catch the moment where the wrong values appear. The first entry of the backtrace should point the file and line where the function was called. If you're using php4 you'll have to use var_dump(debug_backtrace()) instead of debug_print_backtrace(). Also check the error Use of undefined constant prize - assumed 'prize'. Please tell me your are not doing something like this: $arr[prize] Any ideas on this black Friday? -- http://www.web-buddha.co.uk dynamic web programming from Reigate, Surrey UK (php, mysql, xhtml, css) look out for project karma, our new venture, coming soon!

Re: [PHP] undefined variable
2006/4/29, Smart Software [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
code below shows all records from products table with an textbox and an
order button for each record
? $query1 = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM products );

?
/table
if someone presses the button, an item will be ordered.
How can i add the content of the textbox?

Re: [PHP] Help!
That's ok, but then I can't help you more than I tried to. Just check with what I told you about debug_backtrace(), at least that way you can trace where the function was called with wrong arguments. 2006/4/29, Dave Goodchild [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Misleading to who?

[PHP] Session - when they expirate ?
Hi, I was looking all over the internet and I don't understand when and how does the PHP session expirate. I suppose that it happens when the user is inactive. On my website I don't use cookies for session and it has standard php.ini configuration: session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 session.gc_divisor = 100 session.gc_probability = 1 session.cache_expire = 180 So, does this mean, that if the visitor is 180 minutes inactive it automatically deletes the session ??

Re: [PHP] Syntax Oddity
2006/5/2, Richard Lynch [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Does anybody have a rational explanation for what purpose in life the following syntax is considered acceptable? ?php $query = UPDATE whatever SET x = 1; $query; ? Note that the line with just $query; on it doesn't, like, do anything. I suppose in a Zen-like sort of way, it exists and all, but, really, what's the point? Is there some subtle reason for this not being some kind of syntax error that's way over my head or something? This is not just philosophical minutiae -- Real-world beginners, with no programming experience, actually type the above (albeit with a lot more logic and whatnot in between) and then wonder why the query didn't execute. It even makes a wild sort of sense to type that, if you presume that a beginner might not grasp the distinctions between PHP and MySQL and the relationship yet. Does anybody actually USE this idiom in any meaningful way? ?php string; ? -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/ ) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php I believe this is just C syntax legacy, although I think you can pass an argument to a C compiler to raise a warning when this kind of statements are found, that can't be done in PHP. Anyway, is just the way compiler/interpreters are made when a language has a C syntax style, it's just more efficient for the compiler to do what you're told and don't ask too many questions (if you mess up and your program is slow or buggy is your fault not the compiler's).
