The advantage that when I have to change the string to match the
new/altered data, and that data has, oh, I dunno, something like ' or
\ or 0, 1, 2, 3, ...9 in it, and then my Regex suddenly doesn't work
because \abc7 won't work the same as \7abc but \\abc7 works the same
as \\7abc
I have to MAINTAIN this code, and when the input changes, as it
inevitably will, I do *NOT* want to sit down and figure out that hairy
Regex again. It was bad enough the first time. Hell, I had to spend
a couple hours building it up iteratively to get it right.
If I use \\ when I want \, then it will ALWAYS be correct, no matter
what character I have to shove in after it to match "The New Data".
If I use \ when I want \, maybe it works sometimes, maybe it doesn't
when I have to match "the new data". (\t is tab)
I guess I just like things that ALWAYS work instead of things that
SOMETIMES work. Silly me.
\\ always works
\ only works sometimes, depending on what character follows it.
PS
A Regex is unreadable code by definition anyway.
\\ isn't any more unreadable, with practice, than \, especially if you
are CONSISTENT and use it in PHP all the time, not just in Regex.
But the sheer number of weird character combinations and positional
difference (^ inside [] and ^ outside [] and ^ at the beginning of
either are all COMPLETELY different) make Regex unreadable no matter
how long you stare at it.
I dunno what masochist invented this Regex crap, but he oughta be shot
:-)
* I actually LIKE Regex when it's simple... But, man, you start
adding in a lot of complexity, and it gets really ugly really fast.
Oh well. It works.

Is there a reason why you assign the output of fread() to a variable and
then print it? Why not just:
print(fread($fd, 2048));
which would be faster because it doesn't need to assign to a variable,
wouldn't it? Maybe I'm missing something..

You are not alone.
There are innumerable User Contributed notes in the on-line manual on
this topic, scattered through various function pages.
Some of them have some rather nice functions for finding and replacing
all the Microsoft crap with something that will work in all browsers.
I would recommend doing this before you insert to the database.
Yes, it's generally a Bad Idea to munge data before inserting, but in
this case, you will never, ever, ever want those nasty characters
again.
They have no meaning outside the context of MS Word, except, of
course, MS IE "embrace and extend" (cough, cough) will display them as
well, so all the MS Word, FrontPage, IE users tend to use them, not
realizing just how UGLY their site is for everybody else.
So unless you want to abandon all other browsers, and turn into a
Microsoft drone, you might as well replace them once, at insert, and
be done with it.
You don't need anything as fancy as a Regex, and the list of
characters has already been painstakingly built for you by people in
the User Contributed notes.
For that matter, they wrote the function you can copy/paste as well.
Here's the one I liked enough to steal:
function un_microsuck($text){
static $chars = array(
128 => '€',
130 => '‚',
131 => 'ƒ',
132 => '„',
133 => '…',
134 => '†',
135 => '‡',
136 => 'ˆ',
137 => '‰',
138 => 'Š',
139 => '‹',
140 => 'Œ',
142 => 'Ž',
145 => '‘',
146 => '’',
147 => '“',
148 => '”',
149 => '•',
150 => '–',
151 => '—',
152 => '˜',
153 => '™',
154 => 'š',
155 => '›',
156 => 'œ',
158 => 'ž',
159 => 'Ÿ');
$text = str_replace(array_map('chr', array_keys($chars)), $chars,
$text);
return $text;
}
That's not going to be TOO horribly slow unless you've got a TON of
data to run through.
Feel free to benchmark it and see.
I never have, since I'm only handling one or two INPUT fields from
copy/paste at a time by a site administrator.
If it's "too slow" you might be able to tweak it so the array_map()
result is cached in the function body to get a bit more speed out of
it.
Everything else from MS Word copy/paste can be handled by
htmlentities() upon OUTPUT to the browser.
You may need to re-name the function for inclusion in a day-job
corporate project/product... :-)

[PHP] php5 COM strange behaviour
Hello NG,
we have a script to create a word-document via COM which, so far, run pretty
stable under php 4.3.7
Since we upgraded to php 5.0.3.3 the same script works only on the first
run!
On the following runs the same script causes a fatal error on the code
below:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Source:
Microsoft Word
Description: Wrong Parameter.' in [Scriptname]:65
Stack trace:
#0 [Scriptname](65): variant->GoTo('wdGoToField', 'wdGoToFirst', 1)
#1 [SourceScript] include('[Scriptname]')
#2 {main} thrown in [Scriptname] on line 65
Code :
$NumberFields = $word->ActiveDocument->MailMerge->fields->Count;
for ($CounterFields = 1; $CounterFields <= $NumberFields; $CounterFields++)
{
$word->Selection->Range->GoTo(wdGoToField, wdGoToFirst, $CounterFields);
<-- Creates Fatal Error
...
}
When we reset the Apache-Service, the script runs again once! Subsequent
calls create the same fatal error again ... we changed access-rights in
dcomcnfg which didn't show any influence ...
Environment: win 2003 server, Apache 2.0.53
I'm greatful for any hint !

In the script that writes out the HTML, don't write out all those numbers in the URL. Stick them in a database table, or put them in a session, or if speed/performance is a Big Issue, and those can't hack it, stick them in Shared Memory. http://php.net/shmop Then you can pass a small identifier like an ID from the database, or whatever you want for an array index in your $_SESSION, or a path and integer for the shared memory.

-Original Message-
From: Larry Brown

Sent: 23/08/05 02:28
Subject: [PHP] foreach loop changed after 4.3 -> 4.4 upgrade
I had a foreach loop working on an array as such:
$multiarray = array(array('person','person'),array('another','another'))
the array was put through
foreach($multiarray as $subArray){
do something with array
}
on each loop I would see $subArray= array([0] = 'person',[1] = 'person')
and then $subArray= array([0] = 'another',[1] = 'another')
In other cases person might have some other value in the [1] position.
(it is being used in a function to create a select statement).
After the upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 though each iteration gives...
array([0] = array([0] = 'person', [1] = 'person'),[1] = 0) and
array([0] = array([0] = 'another', [1] = 'another'),[1] = 1)
You have an out-of-date code optimizer insatalled -- install the latest
version of whichever one you are using. This is a known incompatibility --
a quick search in the bugs database would have found multiple entries about
it (see, for instance, http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30914,
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31194, and at least a couple of dozen
others).

Benchmark it both ways and see.
I benched this with a 100 MiB text file (largest I could find at short
notice). Buffer used for fread() calls was 2 KiB as above.
Values are averaged over 100 runs (I would have liked to do more, but I
don't have time). All values are to 4 significant figures.
Assigning to a variable and then printing took 0.5206 sec
Printing directly without assigning to any variable took 0.5178 sec
readfile() took 0.4632 sec
print(file_get_contents()) took 0.7037 sec
Therefore, readfile() is the fastest, print(file_get_contents()) most
definitely the slowest, and it makes -all difference between
assigning the buffer to a variable and not, at least for files around
100 MiB.

[PHP] Mac OS X file name encoding problem
Hi all, I have a problem with a script when it is runs on a Mac OS X environment. a part of this script simply takes an upoloaded temporary file and writes it on the local system using ftp functions. something like: $filename = $TheNameToAssignToTheFile; $ftps = ftp_connect($ftpaddress); $ris = ftp_login($ftps,$ftpuser,$ftppassword); $fi = fopen($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],"rb"); ftp_fput($ftps,$filename,$fi,FTP_BINARY); fclose($fi); The problem appears when $filename contains special characters, like accented chars, on Mac OS X the ftp_fput function returns me an error. I thinked that the problem could depend on the filesystem encoding, that on Mac OS X is Unicode, so I tryied this before: $filename = utf8_encode($filename); this way I have no more an error, but the file name of the uploaded file results anyway corrupted with strange chars.

Most of the job listings I've seen are for junior or not very experienced developers. So I'm wondering if there are any developers on the list who have several (5+)years of experience and who live/work in/near London? I'm curious to know what the real world going rate, per year, would be for a developer with 8+ years of experience. If you could contact me offlist, it would be much appreciated! :) thnx, Chris
Re: [PHP] Looking for CMS advice
Everyone has already told you about opensourcecms.org, which is a really good site to test things out. However, about 6 months ago I had to do research for the same kind of thing. As of now with the split of the Mambo dev team from the parent company Miro I think I would go with Dupral because who knows when Mambo or whatever the fork of Mambo by the dev team is going to back on it's feet again. Even with that said I've been working with Mambo for about 6 months as well and I must say it's the easiest CMS that I have ever worked with. The component/module coding is a no brainer and the documentation is pretty good (it was getting better but with the dev team gone who knows). At any rate I would say check out Dupral, Mambo, and XOOPS. Then decide what you need and which one has the most features that you need. I choose Mambo for the fast development of customization of features, the huge community (that now seems split), and the vast number of 3rd party modules that have already been written. :) On Aug 21, 2005, at 6:16 AM, Zachary Kessin wrote: I am about to start on a project that seems like it would be right for a CMS system.

(it is being used in a function to create a select statement).
After the upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 though each iteration gives...
array([0] = array([0] = 'person', [1] = 'person'),[1] = 0) and
array([0] = array([0] = 'another', [1] = 'another'),[1] = 1)
I find it hard to believe that I must rewrite every foreach loop in my
application to adjust to this. After all everything I've read states
that the 4.4 release was just a bug and security fix release.
Has anyone seen this behaviour?

[PHP] Getting queries from files FYI
You may (or may not) remember me posting to the list a couple of weeks
ago asking about using REGEX to get queries out of PHP files for a
migration project. I had to let it go for several days, but started
working on it again yesterday, here is the code (no REGEX was used in
the making of this code);
/*

* Jay Blanchard
* August 2005
* NOT REALLY TOO EXTENSIBLE
*
* usage:call from command line, perform manual output to text
file
* i.e. php chaFinder.php >
*/
/* which directory will we be opening? this one, of course */
$theDirectory = $_SERVER['PWD'];
/* array of things that identify beginnings of queries */
$arrQueryStarters = array('SELECT', 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', 'FROM');
/* cruise the directory looking for PHP files */
if (is_dir($theDirectory)) {
if ($dh = opendir($theDirectory)) {
while (($theFile = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
$fileParts = explode('.', $theFile);
/* we only want to look at PHP files */
if("php" == $fileParts[1]){
/* always echo the file name, even if no queries */
echo "filename: $theFile \n";
$lineNo = 0;
/* cruise the file looking for queries */
$openFile = fopen($theFile, "r");
while(!feof($openFile)){
$fileLine = fgets($openFile, 4096);
$lineNo++;
/* loop through query starter array */
for($i = 0; $i < count($arrQueryStarters); $i++){
/* test if CHA is part of the query element */
if(strstr($fileLine, $arrQueryStarters[$i]) &&
strstr($fileLine, 'CHA')){
echo "Line Number: " . $lineNo . " " . $fileLine;
}
}
}
fclose($openFile);
}
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
This returns results that look like this ;
filename: adminUsrMgmtVer.php
filename: agRep.php
filename: agRepExcept.php
Line Number: 31 $sqlComm = "SELECT DISTINCT(`TmsCommission`) from
`CHA`.`TMSUBS` ";
Line Number: 61 $sqlAgImpact = "SELECT count(*) AS count FROM
`CHA`.`TMSUBS` WHERE ...
Line Number: 61 $sqlAgImpact = "SELECT count(*) AS count FROM
`CHA`.`TMSUBS` WHERE ...
Line Number: 65 $sqlAgTN = "SELECT `TmsMastPhoneNumber`, `Tm ...
Line Number: 345$sqlBtnGBTR .= "FROM `CHA`.`TMARMAST` c ";
Line Number: 372$sqlNew .= "FROM `CHA`.`TMARMAST` ";
Given this you can see that with some more code I could find the
beginning and/or end plus all of the lines in between so that the
complete query can be seen and cataloged by file name and line
number(s). This is very much what I was looking for.
If you have any suggestions for improving this code, or see where I have
done too much bull-in-the-china-shop/brute-force grepping they are very
much appreciated.

Hello NG,
we have a script to create a word-document via COM which, so far, run pretty

Since we upgraded to php 5.0.3.3 the same script works only on the first
maybe try 5.0.2, 5.0.4 or 5.0.5beta ??
run!
blooming odd - sounds like a thread[ing] related issue (which is why I say you
should be
using the orefork version of apache2)
On the following runs the same script causes a fatal error on the code
below:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'Source:

Stack trace:
#0 [Scriptname](65): variant->GoTo('wdGoToField', 'wdGoToFirst', 1)
#1 [SourceScript] include('[Scriptname]')
#2 {main} thrown in [Scriptname] on line 65
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.
Code :
$NumberFields = $word->ActiveDocument->MailMerge->fields->Count;
for ($CounterFields = 1; $CounterFields <= $NumberFields; $CounterFields++)
{
$word->Selection->Range->GoTo(wdGoToField, wdGoToFirst, $CounterFields);
are wdGoToField and wdGoToFirst actually constants?
<-- Creates Fatal Error
...
}
When we reset the Apache-Service, the script runs again once! Subsequent
calls create the same fatal error again ... we changed access-rights in
dcomcnfg which didn't show any influence ...
Environment: win 2003 server, Apache 2.0.53

[PHP] question on order of variables passed to a function
I'm writing a error handler for my scripts, so I went to : http://
us3.php.net/manual/en/function.set-error-handler.php
I noticed something in the example 1 given there.
and then:
trigger_error("log(x) for x <= 0 is undefined, you used: scale =
$scale", E_USER_ERROR);
?>
So, wouldn't this make $errno in the "myErrorHandler" be "log
(x) " rather than E_USER_ERROR ?
is this a typo on the website ? or am I not understanding how
variables are passed to a function ? I always thought the
variables needed to be passed in the same order as the signature of
the function..

It's off-topic here, but could you give me a hint, what to do/where to

I'll try Apache 2 prefork first, since the changelog of PHP doesn't indicate

No problems, the app worked great using my workstation as the server with a few clients running the app from it. It even worked when we moved it to a server and opened it up to everyone on our intranet (for a while). We have two different types of clients. Some use desktop computers, physically connected to our network, while others use mobile laptops connected to our network via cellular (using Sprint AirCards) using third-party VPN software (Padcom, in case anyone's familiar). We set the application up on a Windows 2000 Server with IIS (5, I think), and it would work fine for about a day. Then Padcom clients kept stopping. They'd request the page and, after a loong time, display a message that the request timed out. This would seemingly happen for all Padcom-connected clients at the same time, though the desktops continued to work fine. We restarted the server running the Padcom software with no effect. We restarted IIS on the web server with no effect. The only thing (seemingly) that cleared the issue was rebooting the server running IIS. I spent a day and a half looking at the issue with the network and server administrators, but nobody could find where the problem was. So, we moved it to a Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6; same problem. On my own, I set up a linux server with apache and placed the application there.

RE: [PHP] PHP vs. ColdFusion
Have you tried PHP 4.x? Give that a shot and see what effects that has on the application. We have used PHP with IIS and SQL Server like you said, I can say from experience that PHP 5 had the same problems as the initial poster described. The pages would time out and hang randomly. I put a 4.x version of PHP on the machine and it's been working ever since. Also if you plan on using PHP with SQL Server and Linux we have been using 5 with no problems for over a year now. It gets pretty heavy use daily. The only gripe I have is FreeTDS only allows one connection at a time, I'd love to use a JDBC driver with PHP. We're looking at using PHP and Hibernate which would let us use JDBC.. Best of luck. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Files passing through
Benchmark it both ways and see. I benched this with a 100 MiB text file (largest I could find at short notice). Buffer used for fread() calls was 2 KiB as above. Values are averaged over 100 runs (I would have liked to do more, but I don't have time). All values are to 4 significant figures. Thought it might be interesting to see what happens by changing the buffer size using the fread option. Hacked up your script to run 100 times for a variety of buffer sizes reading in a ~100mb file, writing it out to /dev/null. Each iteration would shuffle the buffer size array so that it didn't them in various orders (just cause). This is on a FreeBSD 4.x box 800mhz, scsi disk, completely idle. Looks like for my server, 32K is the fastest, but it also looks like it really doesn't matter much. And none of this was run through apache which might have an affect since it's going to cache data before sending it as well I expect.

Can they PING the server? I would bet a days pay ($5.25 - just got a raise!) that they can't. And if I'm right, this eliminates PHP as the cause and starts to smell more of a firewall/routing/DNS/VPN type problem. Have your network people had a look at a packet capture from the network during one of the failures? If they did, they would see what was happening. The fact that you say it is ONLY the padcom clients is enlightening because it means this is not a server failure, but a failure somewhere in between or at the client itself. In any case, I don't think your boss's requirement that whatever language is chosen must run on IIS (ack!) is violated, because PHP runs quite nicely on thousands (I'm sure) of IIS servers.

[PHP] php as standalone?

What I really would like is to have .rpm's and .exe's created, so one can include them in the OS startup. Is this possible at all with php? Has anyone worked with php to create standalone apps? I essentially want to be able to auto update and synchronize a local xml based database with an online one (ok, plus doing some viewing and creating of reports, and so on, and so forth . ) Alternatives could be: mono, qt (arrgh), mozilla/xul (any done that?) or Java :-( .

So, wouldn't this make $errno in the "myErrorHandler" be "log (x) "
rather than E_USER_ERROR ?
No, because you're calling trigger_error, not myErrorHandler.
The order of parameters for trigger_error is as follows[1]:
bool trigger_error ( string error_msg [, int error_type] )
trigger_error will, when called, either call your user-defined handler
with the correct errno, errstr, errfile, errline etc, or, if you haven't
defined one, it will use the error handling methods set up in PHP
(log_errors or display_errors).

Can I use require with http?
My domain: www.varupiraten.se
Other domain: www.webshop2.se
Does this kind of code work?
Code for my domain:
http://www.webshop2.se/externfunctions.php);
$x = getValueFromProduct('Inno AX5000'); //This function retrieves price
from webshop2.se
?
[/snip]
Have you tried it?
Really, unless you own the the other domain and have a way to access the
data, you really cannot do this without some sort of screen scraping or
URL munging. Let us say that you know the product listing for the other
domain is something like
http://www.webshop2.com/productInfo.php?product=Inno_AX5000
You could retrieve that data and manipulate it.

Re: [PHP] php as standalone?
What I've done with it hasn't included any compiling or code obscuring, but there are a number of PHP code protection schemes that may work with this. I havn't kept up on recent developments, but I've seen the question ask a number of times if you can compile or at least wrap a Winbinder/PHP project together to appear more like an application so someone may have something. I know Rubem's made a lot of effort to make Winbinder as compact as possible. Relying on SQLite as well as an alternative DB abstraction layer and a recompiled scaled down version of PHP that strips out all the web based features that are irrelevant to programming for a Windows app. If this catches anyone's eye, I'd definitely recommend digging through the forums, getting on the forum mailing/notification list, etc. And if anyone wants to contribute, Rubem's looking for some good C people as well as people good with documentation, code samples, etc to add to the project (fuel the fires so to speak :). He's done an incredible job so far but it's tough to maintain something this big with the small team of volunteers he's cobbled together. For me, a native Windows API extension was like a holy grail after playing with GTK and..err.. some other GUI for PHP that I forget. The project seemed so obvious yet it hadn't really been done to the degree that Winbinder has achieved. And of course there's the potential (not sure if Rubem has explored this yet) of making Winbinder more of a universal Windows API interface that could be used with PERL, Python, etc like some other projects have done. So much potential. Anyway, my thoughts and opinions, blah blah. -TG = = = Original message = = = This is pretty cool stuff! This is compiled code for Windows only so no source is available?

But even if you did, you're giving the other guy the power to break your
site. All he has to do is change the URL or the format of the page, and
BOOM, your site croaks.
So a relevant question is: "Do you have control of the other site, or at
least the cooperation of the other site's owner?"

Re: [PHP] possible to get a function from another domain
I withdraw my information in my earlier post.
I was in a cybercafe in a hurry - and didn't have time to consider
what was said, nor what I was saying myself.
What I said before has little or not merit.
You can make an experimental interface, and parse the html without the
other domain owners co-operation(although it may be considered rude to
do it without his consent). Your interface breaks when he changes his
system.
You can get him to create an XML page, that you can parse, if you have
his co-operation, or you could possibly get him to create an XML-RPC
or SOAP interface to his site.

Re: [PHP] php as standalone?
You don´t need your linux or unix php app to be standalone, since putting a #!/usr/bin/php at the start of your script, means that most users won't know the difference. For RPM/DPKG you simply add a php dependency. On 8/23/05, Ing.

RE: [PHP] Hardware Detection
I misread the OP.
No. you can't get information on the hardware of a CLIENT's machine via PHP.
You may be able to do it through some JS or I'm pretty sure through some
ActiveX control (on Microsoft brosers of course).
We make an appliance that "phones home" for updates and such, and therefore
we have the luxury of a PHP crontab script that sends this information back
to us. To us, they are "clients" -- different definition of client than the
OP though. ;-)

[PHP] Weird results of "=="
Hello
I have the following code:
($b + $c))
{
// do the second thing
}
elseif ($a < ($b + $c))
{
// do the third thing
}
?>
Each of the three variables is derived by some earlier calculation, but for
testing purposes I have made sure that they end up being $a = $b and $c = 0.
I have tested for three different values (of $a) and gotten all three
results. That is, once the first block has executed, once the second block
and once the third block.
Am I missing something really obvious here?
How do I execute only the first block if indeed $a == ($b + $c) ?
Thank you for your help.

This is an inherent problem with floating-point operations, especially
comparison, and is not unique to PHP. Often numbers will be off by some
miniscule amount, just enough to make them not equal.
What I would do in this situation is create a function float_equals(),
after deciding what delta is acceptable for your situation, like this:
define('MAX_FLOAT_DELTA', 0.001); // Or whatever is acceptable for you
function float_equals($a, $b) {
return (abs($a - $b) <= MAX_FLOAT_DELTA);
}
Then use float_equals($x, $y) instead of $x == $y.

What other values are you trying? I tested it and it seems to work the way it's supposed to. Changing just $a, I get the expected > or < results. Changing $a and $b so that $a always equals $b it always returns the first option.

Am I missing something really obvious here? How do I execute only the first block if indeed $a == ($b + $c) ? Thank you for your help.

That did the trick.
Thanks a million.

This is an inherent problem with floating-point operations, especially
comparison, and is not unique to PHP. Often numbers will be off by
some miniscule amount, just enough to make them not equal.
What I would do in this situation is create a function float_equals(),
after deciding what delta is acceptable for your situation, like this:
define('MAX_FLOAT_DELTA', 0.001); // Or whatever is acceptable for you
function float_equals($a, $b) {
return (abs($a - $b) <= MAX_FLOAT_DELTA);
}
Then use float_equals($x, $y) instead of $x == $y.

RE: [PHP] foreach loop changed after 4.3 -> 4.4 upgrade
Sorry, that last one went out without a comment. I think this is most
likely the cause. I haven't dug back into it yet to verify, but it
makes the most sense.
Thanks everyone...

Just for a test case, write a 10-line ASP script that does something similar, if much simpler, and pound on it on the same box with the Padcom clients. I'm betting you'll have the SAME ISSUE, and that the problem has NOTHING to do with PHP whatsoever. PHP works fine with IIS and Windows. Or, rather, PHP doesn't make IIS and Windows any LESS stable than they already were without PHP. > has mentioned changing anything, until this morning.

Are they going to let you move the application back to a real server? In fact, you could probably get ahold of a Padcom and prove it to yourself in a days' work, and then get them to agree that if it's not PHP nor your script that's broken, but Windows+IIS, then maybe they should just leave the WORKING stuff alone. Probably won't work.

I think it gets about one message a day, on average, so you could easily monitor that. Also check at http://gtk.php.net and any Wikis/Forums they've got going. I've been building a PHP GTK app, but it only has to live on one box, so haven't worried about making it cross-platform, much less bundling it all into a single deliverable. -- 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
