Re: [PHP] Class Constant PHP 5
Jay,
gonna have to correct you on this lot (sorry ;-)
Jay Blanchard wrote:
[snip]
is there a way to dynamically define a class constant during runtime
in PHP 5?
for example I would like to achieve the result of something like:
class Example {
const FOO = bar();
}
However this would obviously give a parse error.
I know it is possible with variables but I would like it to be a
constant.
[/snip]
Well, first of all the syntax you describe above does not define a constant
at all, you would need to use define()
the syntax is fine (apart from the function call which is illegal where it is),
it defines a class constant. e.g.
which is legal.
The second thing is good old basic OOP theory, you should declare a private
static variable
... with a public static getter method (so that value can be reached from
outside
the class, just like a class constant can)
http://us3.php.net/private
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.static.php
I agree that this is the sane/correct way to do what the OP wants.
there is one alternative (but it comes with big neon warning signs):
http://php.net/manual/en/function.runkit-constant-redefine.php
runkit is very very clever - lots of rope to hang yourself - use at
your own risk :-)
Of course you could define a global constant and then pass it into your
object when instantiating it, but that is a bad idea generally.
Thirdly, you could never use a function to derive your constant value...it
would then be an oxymoron. If the value generated by the function bar()
changes, FOO is a variable. Constants are for simple values. For instance,
we can all agree that pi is 3.14159 (to 5 decimal places, so defining a
constant pi makes sense;
define("PI", 3.14159);
If we do not know what the outcome of a function will be it makes the value
of the outcome a variable, always. It would be foolish (and would fail
anyhow) to do something like this;
define("RANDOM", rand(5,12));
it doesn't fail and is not imho foolish by definition ... the value of the
constant,
although changing stays the same for the duration of the request,
IIRC Rasmus himself once mentioned that it can be useful to be able to set
a constant to a 'dynamic' value like this - nuff said really :-)

Line 38 is the problem, if you comment around the foreach()

I don't think you can, but you could have a single function that calls
both, then specify that function in ob_start().
I think you can by simply stacking multiple output buffers on top
of each other:
ob_start('switchContent'); // first buffer, for first callback
ob_start('ob_gzhandler'); // second buffer, for second callback
take care to define the handlers in the 'right' order
(the order that they are run in may be important to your output/code)
// rest of code.
I implemented a class once that stacks a list of callbacks
which could then all be run by its callback handler, psuedo-code:
class CB
{
private static $cbs = array();
public static function addCB($cb)
{
if (is_callable($cb)) {
self::$cbs[] = $cb;
}
}
public static function run($data)

foreach (self::$cbs as $cb) {
$data = call_user_func($cb, $data);
}
return $data;

Is there no way to specify the database functions in Joomla?

I guess that I am old school enough (I see John Nichel's hands racing to the keyboard now!) that expect a constant to be just that.

Urgh! Nothing like making the simple things complicated! ;)
The above is effectively the same as (the more readable and more
efficient):
function chk_input( $string ) {
return eregi( "^[0-9a-z_ -]$", $string );
}
if (chk_input( $string )) {
echo "valid";
else {
echo "invalid";
}
And, personally, I'd use preg in there rather than ereg, as it's more
efficient, more up-to-date, and more supported.

[PHP] PEAR Validate email question
Hello, I'm using the PEAR Validate::email method to validate email addresses on our contact forms since the spam bots have gotten so bad. I am using the "check_domain" flag which calls the php function "checkdnsrr." This form processor is used on several sites now and all is going well except one problem. It seems this "checkdnsrr" function randomly returns false on valid email addresses. I built a little debug feature into the processor to let me know when the script fails and any error messages it has generated along the way to try and stay ahead of the spammers. I've been getting randomly occurring failure notices. Most of the time it works, sometimes it doesn't. Every failure is a valid DNS and email address. If I try running the email address against Validate::email later it works. I was hoping somebody can shine some light on why checkdnsrr would work sometimes and why it wouldn't work others. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure how you mean a weak reference, and well a refcount is

So, this gets interesting. I don't know if you're familiar with the
circular-reference problem. But if you have two instances that have
references to each other, even once you remove all references to the
objects, they will not be GC'd since they have a mutual deadlock on
each other:
$a = new MyObj;
$b = new MyObj;
$a->setB($b);// does $this->b = $b;
$b->setA($a);// does $this->a = $a;
$a = NULL;
$b = NULL;
The actual instances pointed to by $a and $b WILL NOT GET FREED HERE
as you would *wish*. However this is expected behavior.
I would have to disagree with the 'as you would *wish*' part.
if I pass something to a function/method via copy (vs reference) i
would hardly expect code outside the function/method to affect
their existance.
I'll ask you to reconsider :) Let me explain...
After both $a and $b are set to null, your script NO LONGER HAS ANY
REFERENCES TO $a OR $b! The objects are now "orphaned" as far as you
are concerned. So if you cannot access the objects, why would you
still want them to take up memory?
This is why I say "as you would *wish*. The fact that the objects are
not freed here is a memory leak. Now, the party responsible for the
memory leak is the coder, NOT PHP. PHP is doing the "right" thing
because according to its internal GC both $a and $b still have a
refcount of 1.
So, it is up to the developer to make sure that they code in such a
way that the objects do not have a refcount deadlock in such a
situation. This is the point of my entire thread; I want to confirm
the correct way to do this in PHP.
Apple's Cocoa documentation has a good explanation of this. Read the
sections "Retaining Objects", "Retain Cycles", and "Weak References"
that begin here. It's just a few paragraphs. Cocoa's memory
management and garbage collection is very similar in concept to
PHP's, except that you must EXPLICITLY control reference counts.
[ watch for wrapped link ]
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt/
Concepts/ObjectOwnership.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/2043-1000698
Only by changing MyObj to store "weak references", that is references
to the objects that are NOT reference-counted, can you get the GC to
free the instances.
function setB(&$B) { $this->b = &$a; }
function setA(&$B) { $this->a = &$b; }
Now, the instances will be freed when the $a and $b are null'd out.
I think you meant to type:
function setB(&$a) { $this->b = &$a; }
function setA(&$b) { $this->a = &$b; }
Oops yes.
And consider the definition written as:
function setB(&$a) { $this->b = $a; }
function setA(&$b) { $this->a = $b; }
does the $a = null; and $b = null; outside the class cause the
objects to get null'd inside the class as well?
Well, this is different from what I wrote; you took away the &
operator on $a and $b in the assignment. This then causes the
refcounts to be bumped, so in the code as YOU'VE re-written it, in
fact nulling the objects outside the class DOES NOT cause them to be
released.
However, let's talk about the version I wrote:
function setB(&$a) { $this->b = &$a; }
function setA(&$b) { $this->a = &$b; }
In this case, nulling out the $a and $b that were passed in DOES in
fact release these linked objects. But that's OK, because you don't
have a way to access these objects anymore anyway, as described above.
Now, this example is just for explanatory purposes; typically you do
not have two objects that mutually store weak references to each
other. Typical, one side of the two-way link typically is the "owner"
and has a "refcounted" reference to the other object, while the other
side of the link has the weak reference to the other object. Normally
the parent object retains, and the child object has a weak reference.
So, while I now feel more confident of how references act with
respect to objects (which is, they act the same as they do for any
variable), I still am not sure what "$this->this" is and why it
worked so magically.
You lost me on your $this->this statement.
Well, in reality, with a parent-child situation, you have
$a->addChildObject($b);
class A
{
function addChildObject($b)
{
$this->children[] = $b;// refcount+1
$b->setParent($this);
}
}
class B
{
function setParent(&$b)
{
$this->parent = &$b;
}
}
However, I tried this, and it doesn't work. The $b->setParent($this)
line still bumps the refcount. After experimenting, I realize that if
I do $b->setParent($this->this) then it works as expected.
But what the heck is $this->this?
And this is my question, why does this work? Can I count on it? Why

On the XP machine the status bar shows "Shortcut to file:///absolute_path_to_file(local)". I have never got the links to work with Firefox (preferred browser) on the w2k machines, but I'm sure it security issues.

He isn't using the mime-type, the fileinfo module detects the content type based on a magic file that defines, as you said, a paticular statment in the file and returns the mime-type associated with the magic. Assuming you ment the mime/type sent via a file upload, trying to detect the file type by the extension is just as unreliable. Even identifying contents of the file is not as reliable as one would think; it can also be spoofed. For example with jpeg, there are several tools out there that will take a file, wrap a jpeg image around the file and embed the real contents inside of the file, and if your app just detects the magic contents, it will pass the test. The only way to ensure a file is what it really is to open and resave it with a trusted application. Using the jpeg example you would need to do something like: djpeg $file | cjpeg > testfile.jpg Well, with jpeg, the files will always be differnt but a fuzzy match based on filesize closeness and/or similar bit distribution. > On 12/8/05, Manuel Vacelet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > I'm facing a bad behaviour of 'file' command used by fileinfo PECL module > > (recommanded for mime-type checking): > > * Some Microsoft Excel documents are detected as Microsoft Word documents > > * Some HTML files are just text/plain > > * ... > > Curt. -- cat .signature: No such file or directory -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If the above is true, a updated version should be availble for the OS you are using.

You can't rely that because other extensions work that you are actually puting the file in the correct place. create a page with: phpinfo(); and check the directories that php is expecting things in.
