[PHP] new to classes, need help
I'm trying to get my head around php classes. I want to write a small php
file (call it genericly uniquepagesomething.php) that will call the
pagemaker.class. For example Apples3.php that calls pagemaker.class. In
pagemaker.class, it will look up page 3 of the topic apples from a table
and get the text file. It will also look up the proper template to
use. pagemaker.class will then insert the text file into the template and
print it out to the browser.
Here is what I have cobbled together so far from various things i've read.
- uniquepagesomething.php
require("pagemaker.class");
$pagemaker = new pagemaker;
$pagemaker->find($findpage, $pagesomething);
$pagemaker->make("pagesomething");
?>
- pagemaker.class
class pagemaker
var $Host = ""; // Hostname of our MySQL server.
var $Database = ""; // Logical database name on that server.
var $User = ""; // User und Password for login.
var $Password = "";
var $Link_ID = 0; // Result of mysql_connect().
var $Query_ID = 0; // Result of most recent mysql_query().
var $Record = array(); // current mysql_fetch_array()-result.
var $Row; // current row number.
var $Errno= 0; // error state of query...
var $Error= "";
function find($findpage,$pagesomething) {
$this->$findpage=$pagesomething; //fix this to split the
topic and page number
$this->$Query_String="select tmplt, image, file, desc from
pages where "; //fix this too
$this->connect();
# printf("Debug: query = %sn", $Query_String);
$this->Query_ID =
mysql_query($this->Query_String,$this->Link_ID);
$this->Row = 0;
$this->Errno = mysql_errno();
$this->Error = mysql_error();
if (!$this->Query_ID) {
$this->halt("Invalid SQL: ".$Query_String);
}
return $this->Query_ID;
}
function halt($msg) {
printf("Database error: %s\n", $msg);
printf("MySQL Error: %s (%s)\n",
$this->Errno,
$this->Error);
die("Session halted.");
}
function connect() {
if (0 == $this->Link_ID ) {
$this->Link_ID=mysql_connect($this->Host, $this->User,
$this->Password);
if (!$this->Link_ID) {
$this->halt("Link-ID == false, connect failed");
}
if (!mysql_query(sprintf("use
%s",$this->Database),$this->Link_ID)) {
$this->halt("cannot use database ".$this->Database);
}
}
}
find();
?>
Is this going anywhere in the right direction?
any comments are welcome
Thanks

Re: [PHP] MySQL vs PostgreSQL
Youy are unlikely to egt balanced asvice on this in the MySQL or Postgress lists -after all those people have already made thier decision. I haven't used Postgress much - but basically... Mysql - available on loads of hosting packages, very large user base. PostgreSQL - better adherance to ANSII standards, resulting in more portable code. Implements VIEWS, subselects and foriegn keys. Mysql is faster (as long as you don't need the missing features) It is better established, and things like subselects are being worked on, foriegn keys are already partially implemented. The docs for both projects have sections on camparing to the other (I think they both cheat a bit and compare thier newest version to a slighlty older version of the other project) Sean Rick Emery wrote: You accidentally published this to the wrong email list.

Don't you mean "preg's special characters"? Or even "PHP special characters which are
also preg special characters", as it's this duality of specialness that leads to the
necessity of double-escaping!

This is the main reason I prefer to use *single*-quoted strings whenever possible in
preg_ calls -- the above could more legibly be written as:
if (preg_match('/\$example/', $matchme)) {
This is an instance where I'd even tend to prefer to write single-quoted strings
concatenated to bare variables, rather than using double-quoted strings and
variable-interpolation:
if (preg_match('/\$'.$example.'\./', $matchme)) {
rather than
if (preg_match("/\\\$$example\\./", $matchme)) {
Cheers!

For example: $ is both a PHP special character in double-quoted strings, and a special character in preg pattern matches (meaning "start of string or line") -- so it first has to be escaped for preg, giving \$, and then the \ and the $ each have to be escaped for the PHP double-quoted string giving "\\\$". Basically, if you put your pattern in a double-quoted string, every time you want to pass a \ to preg (say as an escape for a special character such as ., or as part of a character class such as \d) you have to assess whether it needs escaping for PHP, leading to a double backslash in the PHP string. The safest strategy is just to double it every time, as this will always be de-escaped by PHP to a single \ in the string which is then passed to preg. If you use single-quoted strings for your preg pattern, you don't get this problem as the only character that needs escaping for PHP is then the single quote itself! Cheers!

to put a backslash in a double quoted string you have to escape it \\$
in order to put a literal dollar sign in a double quoted string you have

If you want to use some of PHP's special characters in your expression,
such as $, you must escape it twice. For example:
$matchme = "\$example";
if (preg_match("/\$example/", $matchme)) {
will not be matched because PHP interprets the \$ and passes it as $.
Instead, you must do this:
if (preg_match("/\\\$example/", $matchme)) {

[PHP] Images not stored in Databases
Hiya, I have had help from a very useful person on storing images in databases, and basically now I don't want to do this. But I may end up storing a lot of pictures, and don't want to mess around. Is there a script or class, that is as simple as storing in a database, that will handle possibly millions of pictures, and given a picture will return the URL where it is stored? I suppose I could build one myself, but I can see it being quite difficult, with problems such as maximum number of files in directories etc. I have had a look at a few PHP pages, but cannot find anything suitable. Any help would be great. Have a great Christmas. Love, Steve XX -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Images not stored in Databases
Hiya. Yeh sorry I should of mentioned, using an upload script. And then I shrink them (or grow) using GD. I understand I could give everyone a directory, but everyone would only have one picture, so a waste of time. What would make more sense, and to ignore the limit on number of items in a directory, is to have directories like a-z and directories inside them of a-z till there can be over a million stored. And then create a random combination and try and place it in one of the root directories. Is there a sctript that organises huge numbers of pictures in directories? Also everyone logs in using there email address, not a username, so I would prefer not to have to give them usernames! THanks, Steve > How will the picture make it into the db?

Re: [PHP] Images not stored in Databases
I think you should first research what the limit of files is in the directory where you want to place the files. Then just create some structure that you start with a directory called "1" and store the file there. If the limit of directory "1" is reached just let your script automaticly create a seconde directory and start storing there. Of course you should keep record of wich image is located where. Maybe you should name the uploaded images the same as the users email address. As far as I know it is no problem to have a filename with an @ in it so I think this is the best way to make sure you don't have conflicts with filenames. Is that what you mean?

same mod_php4 version (FreeBSD's port of PHP 4.2.3) was not experiencing
this issue. His output was:

Env:
I've noticed two major changes here. The TZ environment variable
is defined on my system but not his. (Both of us have time zones defined
when we look in uname -a.) My mod_php4 binary believes that it is GMT
(instead of EST) while his believes that it is in CST (which is correct).
Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to fix this? Or even
clues of what might be the cause?
Thanks in advance,

Re: [PHP] MySQL vs PostgreSQL
Both databases work well for what they are intended to do. Either database will have good basic performance, however PostgreSQL has had more advanced features and stability in the past some of which MySQL has worked on gaining. Last I heard there was still issues with complex operations and table locking with MySQL (I don't use MySQL anymore). If you use persistent connections PostgreSQL performance will equal, be greater than or slighly less than MySQL performance (depending on what you are doing). There are also other database choices available for example Firebird (open source version of Interbase), and many others. Asking what is the best database generally is an answer that can't easily be answered, especially on mailing lists without causing enthusiastic believers of a database to become over stimulated. You should take into consideration what databases are available to you, are you using your own server so you have (near) total control, are you using shared hosting so are limited by what your hosting provider supplies? Additionally consider the ability for the database to scale, ease of management, support, and documentation quality. Both PostgreSQL and MySQL have excellent online help communities and both have excellent documentation. With that said, for my purposes I prefer PostgreSQL, I like the performance and the stability I have seen from PostgreSQL, I develop intranet applications that need to do complex reporting while providing data entry services at the same time. Weigh everyones opinions, also consider deploying both and doing some of your own testing to see which will work best for you, it takes a while but it will give you more concrete information.

[PHP] Creating my own External Module for PHP
Hello, I have a little question to which I hope to find an anwser in here. Currently, I have a big script which receives approx 1.5 million hits every day. Since this script does some common calculations that underlying scripts use, I want to rewrite this into C and initially make it an external module for beta testing and then eventually compile it directly into PHP. Now, I got this really good book, Web Application Development with PHP by Ratschiller and Gerken. It has a complete chapter devoted to "hacking the core of PHP" which shows how to create extensions. Now, they describe 2 common ways of hacking the core... making a shared object (which is what I want at this point) , or compiling the extension right into the core. They decribe how to make your extension with ~/ext/ext_skel , but they don't describe which steps to take when you only want to make a shared object... the only thing they say is "at this point, you should have a new PHP binary or a .so file" ... but they never gave any indication how to chose... they just asume you want a new php binary or sth. Now, can anyone provide me with a few brief description (a few steps) how to make your own dynamically loadable module in PHP? Thanks in advance.

[PHP] What happened with zend engine version 2?
I believed that PHP V4.3 should include the Zend engine version 2 since there was two alpha releases for PHP-4.3.0 with Zend engine version 2 -PHP-4.3.0-dev-zend2-win32-alpha1 -PHP-4.3.0-dev-zend2-win32-alpha2 I'm waiting for Zend engine version 2. Where could I read information about future releases? I think the Zend engine version 2 provides much better coding facilities so I would preciate if anybody could answer my questions.

Re: [PHP] Problem with Include
I have found this to be very true with RedHat 8 (includes Apache2.0.40, and php 4.2.2). While RedHat 8.0 isn't really ready for a production server, apache2 and php definitly are not. You have to bend over backwards to get some things working correctly if at all. Plus there are still some stability issues with RH 8. As far as my production servers go apache 1.3 and RH 7.3 for now.

[PHP] objects within arrays
Hi, I'm really struggling with this - I'm writing a simple webmail client for myself (because they've blocked the common ones at work hehe) Anyway, as soon as I tried to access.. $header = imap_header($inbox,$msgID); $header->from['mailbox']; ... I get nothing. I did a print_r on that, and I got.. Array ([0] = StdClass Object([personal] = "blah" ); etc... so how do I access the data within the Object bit? a simple $header->from['personal'] refuses to output anything. Sorry to be a pain again, I know this is simple language stuff but I can't find it in the manual. :) Beth Gore -- http://www.habitformer.co.uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Big guess but I think maybe: $header[0]->from['mailbox']; Also I suggest you turn your PHP Error Level up to E_ALL in your php.ini file (or temporarly at the top of your scripts with error_reporting (E_ALL);, this will help debug programs like this :)) Andrew - Original Message - From: "Beth Gore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PHP General List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2002 6:42 PM Subject: [PHP] objects within arrays > Hi, > > I'm really struggling with this - I'm writing a simple webmail client > for myself (because they've blocked the common ones at work hehe) > > Anyway, as soon as I tried to access.. > > $header = imap_header($inbox,$msgID); > > $header->from['mailbox']; > > ...

Assuming you want to replace [foo] with the value in $foo, you can use
something like this:
$str = "this [foo] is a [test] okay?";
$foo = "crap_foo";
$test = "crap_test";
$nstr = preg_replace("/\[([a-z]+)\]/ie",'\$$1',$str);
echo $str . "---" . $nstr;
No error checking, so if $foo doesn't exist, you'll get a warning and
empty string inserted.

Re: [PHP] objects within arrays
This didn't work. Apparently from[] returns an array of objects, however I have no idea how to access the object within the array. print_r gives this: Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [personal] => Beth Gore [mailbox] => bethanoia [host] => habitformer.co.uk ) ) I've tried this: echo $header->from->mailbox."@".$header->from->host; which doesn't report an error at all, even with full error reporting.. ... breaking news.. just cracked it. echo $header->from[0]->mailbox."@".$header->from[0]->host; Bascially the array of objects is the whole [0] => stdClass thing..

Re: [PHP] What happened with zend engine version 2?
After I posted the first message, I read something about PHP 5 at www.zend.com and suspected that is was about the new Zend Engine. I must have missed it totally! I was planning to code on a new website during my christmas holiday and now that chance is gone because the functionality in the new Zend Enginge is exactly what I miss. I also read on Zend.com that there are some decisions to make about some major changes i.e private members variables or not. I guess I have to switch to Linux and get a CVS-copy for PHP 5, if it exists? Maybe a Win32-binary? Does it exist and if it exists, what status does it have? Can you write code that will work when the final version is finished with minor changes, or are major changes on the agenda? And secondly, I have to face the fact that I cannot get the Zend Engine version 2 in a runtime environment for at least 6 month. You can be sure that I'm longing for it... :) "Rasmus Lerdorf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> skrev i meddelandet [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > That was never the plan.

Re: [PHP] exif functions
You are getting the error because the function has not been defined.. The manual contains this information: Note: This function is only available in PHP when compiled using --enable-exif. Its functionality and behaviour has changed in PHP 4.2 Try recompling PHP with --enable-exif on the command line, this should solve your problem.

[PHP] Problem with comma in mail form
I have a fairly simple mail form which gets email, subject and message and
posts to itself.
Your Email Address:
Subject:
Message:
if(isset($message)) { echo $message; }
?>
It then use mail() function to send a email.
mail( $admin_email, $subject, $message, "From: $email" );
Problem is the message gets truncated if there is a comma in the message
after the comma.
Has anyone had this problem, got a solution to it.
