[PHP] Serious bug ?
Hi all,
I've found a strange bug with extract($GLOBALS, EXTR_REFS), and it
only shows up if you try to access a non-existent variable or array
member before that. Here's a demo script:
// Uncomment this line to see the problem
// $return = @$_GET['xx'];
function extr_globals() {
extract($GLOBALS, EXTR_REFS);
};
function test($msg) {
$x = 'OK';
$msg = 'wrong';
return $x;
};
echo test('login') . "\n";
extr_globals();
echo test('login');
If you run this script, it will output two OKs, as it should. If you
however uncomment the first line, one with $_GET assignment, it will
output an OK and then text "wrong". Tested with php 4.3.10 and 5.0.3 on
a windows machine.
What actually happens is that extract($GLOBALS, EXTR_REFS) really messes
up nametables. If you step into test function with debugger, you will
see that all variables inside the function will already be "initialized"
to the value of the parameter $msg, and assigning to one var will
overwrite values in unrelated variables. I repeat, this only happens if
you tried to access non-existent var or array member before that.
So it's a bug. Do I get a PHP T-shirt ? :-)
Boban.

Re: [PHP] REGEX query
Thanks for the options David.
I think I'll go for the last option as I'm determined to get to grips
with REGEX, and your first choice of REGEX won't work for me as the
'RV-6' bit can be too variable with what it contains, whereas the \(EX\)
bit IS more constant...it's only the EX bit that changes.
I knew I had to to escape some characters but got confused as to how
many times to do each one.
I have tried using your example as follows:
$postScriptData =preg_replace("/\\\(.*?\)\\/","",$postScriptData);
and get the following error:
Warning: No ending delimiter '/' found in...
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Alexis

I assume that the text inside can change around a fair bit. If the
string is of a fixed with or simple format you can just use substr() and
friends, it's simpler and faster.
That said, there is really two approaches that I can see with this string.
You can match on the spaces to extract the 'RV-6', something like
'/\s\S+\s/' should do the trick, that pulls out some non-whitespace
characters from between two whitespace characters, including the
whitespace characters. Then just add the () on again afterwards.
The other approach would be to use preg_replace to get rid of the \(EX\)
portion by replacing it with an empty string. Personally I would
probably use the first technique as I generally don't like using replace
functions in this way. A pattern which should match is '/\\\(.*?\)\\/',
the mess of \ is because \ ( and ) all need to be escaped with a \.

Hi,

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Try $sText or $sSomethingMeaningful. In this and future postings, it would help us help you if you share all relevant details such as the exact error message you see. I've gotten into the habit of prefixing all my variable names with their type: $aSomething - array $sSomething - string $iSomething - integer $nSomething - numeric $bSomething - Boolean In a language like PHP in which data typing is so loose, I find that prefixing the variable type a) helps me keep variables straight and b) prevents me from inadvertantly using reserved words as variable names.

The server bell, not the client.
I used this method because the cash drawer was plugged into the server in a
shop front.
each of the terminals could then use a web based POS interface but there was
only a
single cash drawer.

not sure of exactly u r try to do...but i can suggest the following code.
while ($getcatrow = mysql_fetch_array($getdisplaycatnameq)){
/* assuming getcatrow is an array like
getcatrow = array( "field1" => "value1",
"field2" => "value2");
*/
while( list($key,$value) = each($getcatrow) ) {

}
}
u can then complete the code
