Hi,
I have created an online system, and have created a WAP version, and
am
currently crreating a PDA version. What I wuold like to to do is give
out
the same URL instead of domain.com for normal use, domain.com/wap/ or
domain.com/pda/. Is there a way of detecting what device is loading
the
site
and redirect them accordingly?
Thanks for your help
Manuel, Shaun,
$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] (just like anything else from the client
side) can't be trusted to either exist, or to be correct. Some user
agents don't set this value, and it's quite easy for it to be faked.
More to the point, there's no way you can possibly account for all
possible user agents out there... perhaps only the popular ones.
So, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] is a good starting point or method for
guessing where to send people, but it's not fail safe AT ALL.
I think the fail safe way is to create pages which are standards
compliant (XHTML strict) and use CSS for all styling/presentation,
which means your pages will accessible via the largest possible number
of viewing devices, like PDA, WAP, text-to-speech, desktop browsers,
Web TV, etc.
The move away from table based layouts and poorly accessible webpages
is a big one, but not THAT big :)

From my experience css is even more unreliable than user agent being set and all
browser producers seem to have their own idea of what a standard is supposed to
look like as well. At least with table layouts most of the current desktop
browsers will make a half decent try. With companies like Netscape and Microsoft
providing browsers you should stay away from strict anything is my advice :)
The ideal way of detecting a wap browser is through the accepted mime types from
the request header but I am not sure if that info is passed on by PHP.
You could try
<?
$headers = apache_request_headers();
print_r($headers);
<?
and see what is supplied under accept with various devices
You need to look for something like this:
text/vnd.wap.wml for .wml files (WML source files)
application/vnd.wap.wmlc for .wmlc files (WML compiled files)
text/vnd.wap.wmlscript for .wmls files (WMLScript source files)
application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc for .wmlsc files (WMLScript compiled files)
image/vnd.wap.wbmp for .wbmp files (wireless bitmaps)

It depends what you're aiming for. If you're aiming for pixel perfect
display on the usual browsers, great -- go for tables and the usual
hacks. But in the meantime you're sacrificing forwards compatibility
for backwards compatibility, making your site hugely inaccessible,
causing huge ongoing development costs (update the hacks to support
newer browsers and devices), etc etc.
What's the point in developing three or more sites (WAP, PDA, Desktop)
when one can do the same, with a few SMALL sacrifices.
As a bonus, you're developing HTML for EVERYONE, not turning away
ANYONE, and you're saving your client some money.
Anyway, this is getting a little OT :) You're entitled to do things
your way, and so am I... the $'s and accessibility are making my
decisions for me.
The ideal way of detecting a wap browser is through the accepted mime
types from
the request header but I am not sure if that info is passed on by PHP.
You could try
<?
$headers = width: 300px;;
print_r($headers);
<?
and see what is supplied under accept with various devices
You need to look for something like this:
text/vnd.wap.wml for .wml files (WML source files)
application/vnd.wap.wmlc for .wmlc files (WML compiled files)
text/vnd.wap.wmlscript for .wmls files (WMLScript source files)
application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc for .wmlsc files (WMLScript compiled
files)
image/vnd.wap.wbmp for .wbmp files (wireless bitmaps)
Nice idea!

Hi Justin et al,
Yes you are right that user agent field is not always reliable but 98%
of the time you will be able to tell if it's a mobile or a pc. That's
good enough. If someone fakes the header they will just get a wrong
content type and no harm done. I first did a wap site with php using
this method way back in 2000. Unidentified browsers were given html.
As for a detailed list of various mobile browers, it's impossible to
maintain this list. That's why there is a sourceforge project that does
it and we can all benefit.
did i mention xslt?

Greetings,
This is the example from the php manual:
***************************************
Example 6. sprintf(): formatting currency
<?php
$money1 = 68.75;
$money2 = 54.35;
$money = $money1 + $money2;
// echo $money will output "123.1";
$formatted = sprintf("%01.2f", $money); // my question comes here
// echo $formatted will output "123.10"
?>
***************************************
I don't understand the meaning of the 01 above, which follows the % sign. I
tried the "%.2f" and "%1.2f", both work fine. So, what's the meaning of
01(especially what the 0 is for)? Seems very much the same as C anyway :-).
Please explain.

The "01" part guarantees that your money always has a preceding "0" for
decimal-only amounts. For example, ".15" should be displayed as "0.15".

Hi, Eugene,
If I get rid of the 0 and tried this:
$price=.65;
$f_price=sprintf("%1.2f",$price);
It displays "0.65" in my Mozilla browser correctly. What do you say then?
BTW, what's the 1 used for?
cheers,

I say, "I dunno". :-) It seems to follow C's printf(3) conversion
specification. If a decimal point is needed for a float, it must also
have a digit in front of the decimal point. This is kind of annoying if
I want to print decimal-only values without preceding zeroes. Maybe
money_format() is a better solution.
: BTW, what's the 1 used for?
Specifies the minimum character width of the conversion. See PHP's
sprintf() docs for more details.

yep, and even "%0.2f" yields 0.65

I think, without any help, the only way to make it clear is to read the
source code of that function in php. The manual doesn't explain the function
well.
But I'm sure many people here knows the answer well. Come on. Where are you?

I believe the documentation (in at least on of the ?printf() functions
describes how the implementation follows the C specs. I'm pretty sure
the ?printf() family of functions were added almost entirely for the
benefit of C coders :)

Assume that $price=.65; then the "%0.2f" yields 0.65.
If we follow what the manual says, then can you tell me what the 0 is used
for? Is it a (optional) paddinng spcifier OR is it a (optional) width
specifier OR both? And why does it yiled 0.65 rather than .65?

What happens if the month is the same but the day hasnt been
reached?
Shouldnt this be:
$age = $y2 - $y1 - ((($m2 < $m1) || ($m2 == $m1 && $d2 < $d1)) ? 1 : 0);
To account for it being the same month but not yet the day.

The first parameter of the readTag function is the filename of the tag file.
The second is the tag to search for an the third is the debug mode.
The error is that if i load this, the readTag function returns everything

What's wrong?

Try this:
function readTag($filenane, $tagtype, $degub = false)
// I prefer boolean for debug :)
{
$filedata = file_get_contents($filename);
$tagtype = preg_quote($tagtype);
$tagRegExp = "/<battag=$tagtype\s*>((?:.|\s)*?)</battag\s*>/";
preg_replace_callback($tagRegExp, 'replaceFunc', $filedata);
}
function replaceFunc(match)
{
// match[0] --- the whole tag from <x> to </x>
// match[1] --- the contents of the tag
// I am my self !!! in the example
return WHATEVER_YOU_WANT_TO_REPLACE_THE_TAG;
}
I didnt make sure this script will work 100%; but it should.

Do you mean that all the other tags return the proper content
except the last one? I didn't study the code too closely for
reasons that follow.
>

Glad you asked :) Here are a couple things I noticed:
- every call to this function has the overhead of reading the
file.
- The parsing is error prone, ie. someone puts: <bttag=bassie >
If its possible I would take a complete different approach at
parsing the tags. There are two options that I see right away. Use
XML as your data format and an xml parser to obtain the values in
the tags. Or use preg_match_all. Here is how I would approach the
preg_match_all:
function parseTags($file) {
/* readfile... here */
$tag_match = "!<bttag=(\w*)>\s*([^<]*)\s*</bttag>!is";
preg_match_all($tag_match, $filedata, $matches);
for ($i=0; $i< count($matches[0]); $i++) {
$tagname = $matches[1][$i];
$tags[$tagname] = $matches[2][$i];
}
return $tags;
}
Then you can use it like so:
<?php
$bttags = parseTags('test.tag');
?>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<h1>Test readTag-functie</h1>
<?php echo $bttags['bassie']; ?>
</body>
</html>

put phpinfo(32); at the top of the page and that should show what is available
with an ssl connection if you make one.

I.e. if I use _SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] = 443 - for https connection and 80

Check for the existence of $_SERVER['HTTPS'] which gets set only on SSL
pages. I wonder why it's still not mentioned in the official docs.

Technically, you can't guarantee that anything running over port 443
will be HTTPS. This is part of the more general problem of running your
web server on non-standard ports.

His script will only see valid ssl connections as all other attempts should be
ditched by apache or whatever before php gets involved...in theory anyway :)

Unless Apache is configured so that both SSL and non-SSL virtualhosts
to point to the same directory containing said script, or said script is
shared (via PHP include(), require(), etc.) by other PHP scripts in both
SSL and non-SSL virtualhosts. :-)
And $_SERVER['HTTPS'] is so much easier to check for existence!

I couldn't remember what variables were set so I said to use phpinfo and see
what pops up....you are probably right :)

There is no guarantee that port 443 == https and 80 == http.

Not to sure about what I'm saying, but if I remember well my readings
regarding php5 and xml, I think it implements the gnome libxml2, not libxml,
which is much better.
Hopefully php + xml will be less of a pain in the arse after the 5 is out.

I'm one of the ignorant multitude beginning to grope their way across the threshhold
of web programming. I come from another world, not computer science, and thus have a
question so basic I haven't found any reference to it anywhere. It's killing me.
In the php statement
$q->qzml();
what is the symbol '->' called? What does it mean?
A php script with this line in it, in which $q is an object and qzml() is a function,
returns the error message "undefined function". When I remove this line, the function
qzml() is recognized.
I have also come across the symbol '=>'. I assume it is not the same symbol. What is
it, and what does it mean?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

It calls *member* function of object $q. So even if qzml is a global
function it will not work, the function must be defined in the object's
class definition:
class Q {
function qzml() {
echo 'Q::qzml() function<br>';
}
}
$q=new Q;
$q->qzml();

It is used to assign values to keys in array() construct:

Hi,
I am trying to add a function to my template system where the script
will output a similar name to the one entered, e.g.:
array('main','page1','testing','main_info');
user input: 'mai'
then it should return 'main' & 'main_info' from the array as possible
matches. (Ok, easy example, but it's supposed to work as well with
worse typos)
Anyway, so I stumbled upon the levenshtein funtion which seems to be
the right thing to use for s.th. like that.
However, how does on php.net the "search function" do it? Does it use
a database match checking, or are they using some php function(s) to
display matching function names?
Thanks,
Duncan

Hi,
I am currently working with the output control functions and they work
like a charm - as long as I don't start using IE to view my test page.
I put together the below code from a couple of comments on php.net and
it works like a charm with mozilla, where the content gets displayed
with each loop run - but as soon as I start using tables then IE waits
until the table gets closed to display the output, so it basically
waits until everything is put together anyway and outputs it all.
So, mozilla starts drawing the first table which gets surrounded by
the first table border, then the next table appears so that both get
surrounded by the first table border and so on.
IE simply keeps on loading until all 3 parts of the array have been
put together and then starts displaying the output in the window.
So, my question: is there a way to make IE display the flush'ed output
even when I am using tables?
I guess I am simply making a stupid mistake here, but so far all my
tries resulted in IE not being able to use flush() within tables
(e.g.: remove the surrounding table and it will work just fine again).
S.o. mentioned in the php.net comments that the < tr > tag is causing
those problems, but I tried all kind of combinations to no avail.
However, since I see that kind of output control on several sites I assume there has
to be some kind of way to get the data displayed before the table structure has been
closed again - or is that an ASP only feature?
Any help would be appreciated,
Duncan

You should know that php runs on a server, not on the client machine. So what do you
want to
do with php-code in a mail? You could put html (generated by php for
example), so that the mail-reader can display a table.
