It probably could be add that html doesn't render newlines 'by
default'.  You can wrap the text inside a html tag that has the
style 'white-space: pre' set on it.

Re[2]: [PHP] config tests

[Uros Gruber]

Hi,

You don't need to do that way. I also test speed if you select for
example 5 diferent values. You get 5 queries.

I just select everything in one place then I use

$config['config_color']

or you can write some function getConfig('config_color') to get
selected value from this array.

I use text to store this because there's no need to index this.

I also make some script to easy add and remove config values.

But I agree with you that 1st one is more flexible.

Re: [PHP] PHP Name of Script -0-T-

[Justin French]

I'd say it sounds like a 'services directory' or a 'staff directory' or  
'contact database', broken into categories.

However, like with almost everything else, I doubt you'll find exactly  
what you want.

Do a tutorial to do with contact databases (adding, editing, deleting,  
searching) so that you get used to the techniques, then add/modify that  
set of scripts to suit, or start from scratch with some decent  
knowledge behind you.

You're also probably going to want membership (login/password/etc)  
integrated with it, so again, IMHO, it's best to start from scratch.

There is a nice article by Kevin Yank on sitepoint.com about membership  
stuff, which has recently been revised:
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/319

And a whole bunch of contact databases at google:

I used to program that way.  The logic and presentation portions of my
scripts were combined into one or two monolithic files.  That worked well
for small projects.  But as I got involved in larger projects and had to
juggle many code files at once I found that I prefered to separate as much
of the HTML from the PHP code as possible.

Typically what I do now is set up my HTML in a template-like format using
 as the outputs.  Very little logic goes between the  tags
in my HTML files but of course sometimes it's unaviodable and that's why you
want to use  tags here and not some phoney template language.  Then
sipmly include() the HTML file back into the script allowing the outputs to
fill in.  This makes for a very 'plastic' interface that you can mold very
easily in an HTML editor without screwing up your script.  For example I did
a calendar script recently with the following outputs...

$next_year
$prev_year
$cur_year
$cur_month
$cur_day
$january
$february
$march
$april
$may
$june
$july
$august
$september
$october
$november
$december
$event_list
$event_header

Each output contains a portion of the final calendar page.  So I could take
the months and put them into rows or columns, take the event list and put it
on the top or the bottom, take the interface elements and place them where
they work best.  Or I can ignore half of the outputs and display only one
month if I wanted to.  Point being I could do this in a fraction of the time
it would take me to do it in logic portion of the script.

Anyway.. just my two bits.  Take it or leave it.  :-)

You should not have to call html_entity_decode() at all. You encode the text
to get it to show in the text area. When the form is submitted, you get the
text exactly as it appears in the textarea. in other words, without the html
entities.

Try this:

This is  text

If you submit that "text" and then print $_REQUEST['text'], you'll see that
you have

This is  text

[PHP] Re: Question on class syntax

[Greg Beaver]

Hi Luis,

http://www.php.net/manual/en/keyword.paamayim-nekudotayim.php

Basically, if this is global code, you are calling the method cleanup of 
class htmlcleaner as if it were simply a function.  Within a class, the 
$this variable is set, and calling htmlcleaner::cleanup() will work as 
if cleanup() were a method of your own class.

You need to do something like this

}

stdin is a file stream not part of the command line arguments

I've looked at these:

http://www.midgard-project.org/
Midgard looked good but I couldn't get the admin to work right, and it
requires php-4.2.2 or lower (which drove me a little nuts at first).
It's optimized for php as it's functions are written in C and become
built in php functions with --with-midgard, plus it has a mod_midgard to
link into apache.  Midgard allows lots of customization and you could
place php code just about anywhere.  Runs on *nix only and requires
access to add modules to php and apache.

http://www.tikiwiki.org/
TikiWiki had lots of cool features.  It looked to me to be more suitable
for a community CMS (baseball team etc) rather than a general CMS. All
php.

http://www.geeklog.net/
There's also GeekLog, with a similar community slant as TikiWiki, and it
was reviewed in last months php-architect magazine. All php.

http://www.typo3.org
I agree with what Nick Tabbet said.  Of these 4 CMSs, this one has the
most refined user interface, and most general purpose features.  It's
written in all object oriented php and will easily install on an ISP
hosted system.  Quick setup 1-2-3, and your ready to go.  It does have a
long learning curve, but anything complex does.  Since it's all OO, has
it's own TypoScript code to design content and big, it will really
benefit if run with a php accelerator to cache the intermediate code.
Has good tutorial for getting started, and another good intro to it's
templates.  It's more for small to mid-sized sites, as anything larger
should be written in native C, C++, etc.

[PHP] need help with table lock - could this be performed with mysql commands or do I to write my own PHP function

[anders thoresson]

Hi,

For an application that I'm working on, I wan't users to be able to show 
content even while an editor/administrator makes changes in one of my 
database's tables. But if another editor tries to load the same content for 
editing, he/she shouldn't be able to do this.

I've been reading up on MySQL's internal LOCK command, but it doesn't seem 
to be what I need. I need a read/write lock based on what the current 
user/editor want's to do, and not only based on what content an editor is 
working with at the moment.

I'm thinking of the following solution:

Create a new database:

CREATE TABLE table_lock
(
table_name VARCHAR(40),
table_id INT,
PRIMARY_KEY (table_name, row_id)

);
And two functions:

set_lock($table_name, $row_id), check_lock($table_name, $row_id) and 
release_lock($table_name, $row_id). Whenever an editor opens some content 
for editing, check_lock() will be called to se if table_lock contains a row 
with the same table_name and row_id. If, the content isn't loaded and the 
editor is told that someone else is working on the content, and are asked 
to try again later. If not, set_lock() is called to make sure that no other 
editor opens the content before it's saved and release_lock() is called, 
which will remove the line from table_lock again.

Is this a good way to do this? Or are there any other suggestions?

[PHP] Frequent Mode Switching

[Derrick Fogle]

Thoughts on frequent switching in and out of PHP mode:

Switch out, static HTML
Switch out, more static HTML
I've found that I prefer programming this way, for the most part, 
putting most of the heavy PHP programming at the top, and then using 
static HTML interspersed mostly with quick  statements 
for what users see.

I'm sure there's more than one viewpoint out there, so I'd like to hear 
a couple of them. Is this frequent mode switching good, bad, or 
indifferent? Is there a point at which the mode switching starts to 
seriously degrade performance and reliability?

[PHP] posix_kill process group

[Victor]

Hi.

I am trying to use posix_kill(0, $signo); to signal children forked by 
the parent. All children seem to be in the processgroup of the parent, 
but sending either 0 or -10 does not seem to signal the children at all.

What am I doing wrong? I even tried setting the process group (didn't 
affect anything). It doesn't seem like sending the kill to 0 reaches the 
children.

Has anybody used pcntl and posix_kill with success and if so, could you 
provide me a code sniplet?

Here is my main:

   function main()
   {
  global $logfile;
  $logfile = "/tmp/runner.log.".date("Ymd:Hi");
  //posix_setsid();
  pcntl_signal(SIGINT,   array("runner","sig_handler_parent"));
  pcntl_signal(SIGTERM,  array("runner","sig_handler_parent"));
  pcntl_signal(SIGHUP,   array("runner","sig_handler_parent"));
  pcntl_signal(SIGUSR1,  array("runner","sig_handler_parent"));
  do {
 if ($this->numChildren <= MAXCHILDREN && $this->count > 0) {
$pid = pcntl_fork();
if ($pid < 0) {
die("could not fork");
} elseif ($pid == 0) {
   $ret = $this->child($args);

[PHP] trying to match the front and end...

[Dan Joseph]

Hi Everyone,

I've searched the high heavens for a method of doing this...  Here's what
I'm doing... First, the code..

$middlenum = preg_replace("/^".$this->start_num."/", "",
$this->ach_acct_num);
$middlenum = preg_replace("/".$this->end_num."$/", "", $middlenum);

In a nutshell, what I want to do is chop off the front and the back.
Example:

I have: 1234567890
I want: 456

I have a start num and an end num.  start = 123, end = 7890.

This is working fine as I have it above, however I'd like to combine it into
one regular express, instead of two.  Can someone give me an example of
matching the beginning and end at the same time?

-Dan Joseph

Yes. sort of..

  if (! defined('_SOME_HEADER_FILE_H_') ) {
define('_SOME_HEADER_FILE_H_', 1);

  } // some_header_file_h

I usually define it like this though, to avoid the extra

  if (defined('_SOME_HEADER_FILE_H_') )
return; // leave included file

  // define header file and continue.
  define('_SOME_HEADER_FILE_H_', 1);

[PHP] PHP Name of Script -0-T-

[Ryan A]

Hi,
I want to have an index of services available on my site..
eg:
webdesigners
programmers (if possible sub category here - JSP,ASP,PHP,C etc)
graphic artists
webhosting
etc etc

where a person comes, clicks on the category and either searches the
available entries or can enter his/her own entrywhat do you call these
scripts? I tried "PHP index services scripts" on google without success.. or
if someone has any experience with using a script like this kindly give me
the URL if possible.

I'm pretty sure this must be popular and dont want to go writing this from
scratch if there is a ready made one out there which may just need its guts
rearranged or is already good to go.

Thanks for any suggestions,links,comments etc.

Cheers,
-Ryan

Could do something like this:

$phone = preg_replace('/[^0-9]/','',$phone);
if(strlen($phone) != 10)
{ echo "phone number is not valid!"; }
$phone = substr($phone,0,3) . ' ' . substr($phone,3,3) . ' ' . 
substr($phone,-4);

Which should cover all of the bases. :)

Re: [PHP] Allowed mem size exhausted

[David Nicholson]

Hello,

This is a reply to an e-mail that you wrote on Tue, 5 Aug 2003 at
17:57, lines prefixed by '>' were originally written by you.

Correct me if I am wrong but would it not be better to use the
functions he is currently using (which prepare the data in volitile
memory) for as long as they allow for this.  The OS should then
realise when it does not have enough physical RAM for each of the
requests and handle swapping onto disk itself as and when it is
needed.  This would mean you haven't got the overheads of writing
lots of data to disk, just to delete it again when you do only have
one request at a time and have plenty of RAM spare to take care of
the operation.

David.

Re: [PHP] Stop neurotic posting

[Nicholas Robinson]

Andu's right. I've left several lists in the past, not because of people 
listing questions where they should have read the manual first, but because I 
couldn't stand the sad b**ds who get their kicks by belittling people 
with less knowledge but more manners than themselves.

I've actually learned quite a few useful things from questions in the past 
couple of weeks since I joined this list that have obviously reappeared 
several times. Now, I could spend hours trawling the archives to see if 
there's anything of interest, but I don't really have the time - and in any 
event they're often things I wouldn't have thought about looking up anyway.

So, keep the questions coming.

I need a regular expression to match if address is 

1. PO Box

3. P.O.Box

I'm using /i to make this case insensitive.

I got it working with 1 & 2, but it's still not matching 3. Any

[PHP] bug in code - can't find it!

[Amanda McComb]

Ok, after all of the discussion on posting, I'm afraid to post.
Unfortunately, no one I know is a programmer, and I am a beginner.  I can
normally figure out what I've done wrong, but I'm missing something here.

Ok, here is my query and the bit of code I can't figure out:

$query = "SELECT * from apt_user_t a, apt_company_t b ";
$query .= "WHERE a.user_cd = b.user_cd ";
$query .= "ORDER BY a.username";

 $search_results = mysql_query($query) or die("Select
Failed!");
while ($search_result2 = mysql_fetch_array($search_results)) 
{
 
}
Nothing shows up with the echo or the value.  I only included this
checkbox, but all of the other values show up fine.  Can someone give me a
hint?

There is no Errata per se, but there is a changelog that

[PHP] Imagick

[Jacob Marble]

Excuse me, I accidentally sent that last incomplete message.
I have successfully compiled PHP 4.3.3RC3 with the --with-imagick flag after
compiling and installing ImageMagick 5.5.7 (that was a headache on it's
own).  The following error keeps cropping up:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagick_readimage() in
/usr/local/lib/php/docs/imagick/examples/border.php on line 5

I've tried compiling PHP without the --with-imagick flag and then doing a
"pear install imagick" to get the pear version 0.9.7 package.  The same
problem occurs.  I don't even know how to use imagick yet; I can't get the
thing to work with example files, so I can't start writing my own stuff yet.
Does anyone at this NG use the imagick tools?  Is there something I have to
include maybe?  Like "require 'imagick.php'" or something?  I can't find any
files that look appropriate for that.

Thanks in advance,

Jake

Others have answered your immediate question, but it looks to me like you
should be doing a join and only using one SQL statement instead of sixteen.
Something along the lines of

SELECT DISTINCT(logos.new_cat), cats.*
  FROM logos, cats
  WHERE logos.format = 3
  AND logos.new_cat = cats.id

(Though I'd remove the * personally, it can slow things down. Oh, and you
get $num but never actually use it, and "$row1[en]" should be throwing a
warning - it should be "$row1['en']").

You're safe because when you apply htmlentities() these will be doubly

[PHP] MySQL field data type for ISBN numbers

[James Johnson]

Hi,

Don't know if this is an OT or not.

I have a MySQL database for books. The ISBN field is set as varchar(15) and
I've put a test ISBN number in of 1--111-11. Can someone tell me why
this SQL query isn't working?

$ISBN = $_GET['isbn'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM book_details WHERE ISBN = '$ISBN'";

Since the field is a varchar, should wrapping the variable (1--111-11)
in single quotes work?

If I change the data in the table to 'abcd' and run this query

$ISBN = 'abcd';
$query = "SELECT * FROM book_details WHERE ISBN = '$ISBN'";

It works.

PHP Version 4.3.2
mysql-4.0.14b

Thanks,
James

[PHP] Reformatting phone number string from user input

[Verdon vaillancourt]

Hi :)

I've been working on reformatting a phone number string from user input via
a form field. Ultimately, my goal is to format all phone numbers in the same
way regardless of whether a user inputs '(123) 456-7890', '123-456-7890',
'123.456.7890', etc. before I insert them into a db.

I know I've got a ways to go, but so far, after trying a few things I found
in the manual, I'm going in this direction...

$patterns[0] = "/\(/";
$patterns[1] = "/\)/";
$patterns[2] = "/-/";

$replacements[0] = "";
$replacements[1] = "";
$replacements[2] = " ";

$phone = preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $phone);

This will change '(123) 456-7890' to '123 456 7890' which is what I am
after. I'm just wondering if there is a better or more elegant way to handle
this before I start trying to cover all the bases?

Note: I found a variety of examples in the mailing list archives, but none
of them seem to use the method above. Hmmm, does that mean I'm taking the
long way around ;) I know I could just copy some examples from there, but
I'm trying to use this as a learning opportunity and there seems to be more
than one way to skin the cat (no offence to cat lovers ;)

TIA for any advice,
Verdon

Re: [PHP] Container functions....

[Mike Morton]

Justin:

Not ColdFusion - ancient language by Brian Fox called MetaHTML - actually a
VERY good language - just not supported or developed anymore as far as I can
tell ;)

Anyhow - that is one solution that I had not thought of - but ideally I
would like to use a function rather than an IF statement - just the anal
developer attutude that is in me ;)

For instance, in an IF statement, is there a way to reference, or access the
code/etc contained within the { } ?  If there was, then this solution:

developer_execute() {
 execute this code only
}

Where the function developer_execute would be defined as:
function developer_execute() {
if(getenv("REMOTE_ADDR")=="000.000.000.000") {
%body
}
}

Would work - I am just hitting the wall as to how to reference the code
between { and } represented in the function definition by %body

Anybody?

I would prepare the file on disk instead of memory. If you do
increase the memory to handle bigger files, what happens when you
get 10 requests at the same time?  about 80MB of memory used.

Well, no -- command line arguments are not STDIN, as a general rule.  That's
why they're passed separately in argc, argv.

When you pipe one process into another:

   x | y

the standard output (STDOUT) of x is "piped" directly into the standard
input (STDIN) of y -- so whatever x sends to STDOUT, y will see on STDIN.
The mechanics of this aren't really important (although commonly x's STDOUT
is written to a tempfile, which y's STDIN is then read from), so long as you
understand the principles of it.

Cheers!

Refer to the manual:

foreach($array as $key => $value)

So...

foreach($array as $key => $element)
{
  if($key == 'element1' ...
  if($key == 'element2' ...

Re: [PHP] Old version of PHP

I appreciate the (rather indirect) pointer to the PHP bug tracking site - I
didn't know about that. Errata, it seems to me anyway, perform a different
purpose. I don't mind RTFM-style responses, but please at least read my
question more closely.

I find the "reporting bugs" link on the PHP website a bit misleading since
that page serves more purposes than simply reporting bugs.

Okay enough of my bitching,

Re: [PHP] MySQL field data type for ISBN numbers

[Michael Geier]

functions you should consider:
   trim
   urlencode/urldecode
   rawurlencode/rawurlencode

try "echo '{$_GET['isbn']}'" (or $query) on the result page to see what you are 
truly getting.  I bet the browser is encoding the variable in the GET string, 
even though it doesn't appear that way to you.

Or, is the action of the FORM GET, or is it POST?
  if (!isset($_GET['isbn'])) { echo "no isbn"; } should verify that (if you can 
  see the data in the URI string, it is GET...if not, POST)

[PHP] Container Functions Continued.....

[Mike Morton]

Thanks to everyone who responded to me so far, but I fear that I have not
explained myself too clearly.

First of all, I understand the argument about having a testing, development
and live servers, however, in the real world not every client can afford
that hardware and it is not always feasable for smaller websites to have all
the equipment.  

So, lets base this on the fact that there is one server that has one URL,
One IP and all development/testing is done on the live website.

Now that I have that out of the way.

What I am trying to accomplish is a function that can contain code blocks,
like an if statement.  Something that would operate like:

developer_execute() {
 execute this code only
}

Where the function developer_execute would be defined as:
function developer_execute() {
if(getenv("REMOTE_ADDR")=="000.000.000.000") {
%body
}
}

Where the %body is the actual code represented by 'execute this code only'
above.

So, the question is, is there a way to create a function like an if function
that does not only reply on the arguments between the ( and ) in the
function call?

Thanks again.

Andu's right. I've left several lists in the past, not because of people

[PHP] Container functions....

[Mike Morton]

In a language that I used to program in - for development we used to be able
to make a function that basically just executed everything inbetween:

Print "This is html printed"  Print "this is more
code";


So basically everything in between hidecode and /hidecode is executed the
same as if the hide code did not exist - except that the hidecode container
would be something like:

Function hidecode() {
if(getenv("remoteaddress")=="myaddress") {
%s (all code contained within the tags)
}
}

So - the question is does PHP have some way that I cannot see to do this?

I realize that I could create a function and pass everything in as an
argument - but that would involve putting everything into variables, and
overall being just a pain in the ass to add and remove the container.

Is PHP too sophisticated a language to be able to do this easily and
quickly?  Or am I just missing some form of function that is totally
obvious?

Finally - yes, I know that I could slap an if tag around it - but that is
also a big pain in the ass to add and remove each if tag when you go 'live'
with the change, as opposed to a quick find and replace with a container
function like this...

I have also had this problem, and asking about it here provided no help.

Mine seems to be related to abnormally high numbers of instantiated
objects and large amounts of reference-passing. Occasionally Apache
children will die (with the error you've described), or spin out of
control and hog the CPU for a while (Apache 1.3.27, Red Hat 9, PHP 4.3.2).
I have not been able to track down the problem, though I did attempt to
re-create it using the command-line PHP interpreter to write Apache out of
the picture, and was not able to reproduce the errors.

I've tried to route around them somewhat, and have been moderately
successful, except when they bump my CPU load to 100%. :-P

[PHP] Re: PHP Fusebox

[Nicolas Frisby]

I just recently did a bit of research into "standardized development
processes" and such and the most robust system I have found is XML and XSLT.

I realize that the whole idea of the 'fusebox' page is lost, but XSL allows
you to generate just about anything and XML's standard formats (DocBook and
Apache's Cocoon to name a couple) guarantee some degree of easy sharing or
even an easy switch to a different system in the future.

Come to think of it, if you are really set on this Fusebox idea, you could
(theoretically) use XSL to generate your php files that conatin your fusebox
templates from XML...

Hope this offers even the tiniest bit of illumination

[PHP] MIME Mail Problem with Netscape

[Hendry J]

Hi all,

I'm having problem sending MIME Mail using PHP (SMTP) to netscape.net
emails,
it didn't display the content of html, (although i've filled the
content-type with  text/html),
instead, it display the garbled text.

I've tried to encode the message with 7bit and base64 encoding, but those
don't work either ;(
All other emails (yahoo!, hotmail, etc.) display the emails in html, only
netscape that can't interpret it?

Is there some way so that netscape understand the emails and displayed it
correctly?
Am i providing enough information?

BTW, I'm using PHP v4.2.3

TIA,
Cordially yours,
Hendry Johan

I know PHP is pretty versatile and all that, but I'm still amazed at the kinds 
of things that people want PHP to do when there are better and more 
appropriate alternatives:

The simplest requiring no more than a shell script is to run a cron job which 
figures out whether sshd is running, if not start it.

Further up the scale you can use xinetd.

Even further, you can use something like daemontools to supervise your "must
