[PHP] converting nested hash to xml

[Anthony Ettinger]

Is there a standard way of converting a nested hash/multidimensional
array to an xml tree?

My hash looks like:

$foo = array(
  bar1 => array(
 baz1 => array(
title => "Some Title",
text => "Some Text",
),
bazN => array(...),
  ),
  bar2 => array (...),
  barN => array(...),
);

would want the output to be something like:



  
Some Title
   Some Text
  
  
Some Title2
   Some Text2
  

...

[PHP] Includes and paths confusion

[Nick Wilson]

Hello all, 

Im having some problems understanding why some requires() are failing.
Let me see if i can describe what's going on clearly...

I have this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] > ls
ads/  config.inc  db.inc  funcs.inc  init.inc

where ads/ is a whole huge set of scripts from an existing setup. ads/
was originally placed on its own domain as it's a version of phpadsnew
and runs as a server all by itself.

I moved ads/ to this directory to try to troubleshoot and make things
clearer. 

db.inc has these lines:


require_once("ads/admin/config.php");
require_once("lib-statistics.inc.php");
require_once("lib-zones.inc.php");
require_once("config.inc.php");
require_once("lib-db.inc.php");
require_once("lib-dbconfig.inc.php");

warning: main(../config.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in
/var/www/localhost/vhosts/payment.communicontent.com/modules/partners/inc/ads/admin/config.php
on line 33.


Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '../config.inc.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in
/var/www/localhost/vhosts/payment.communicontent.com/modules/partners/inc/ads/admin/config.php
on line 33


So, why does this not happen when ads/ is on its own domain? I can see
it has something to do with relative paths, but even when i try to work
with chdir() i still get no joy. 

I just can't figure out what the issue may be, so any pointers in the
right direction would be hugely appreciated. 

thankyou!

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dom.php would be a good start, or
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php (I think this is more
for reading rather than creating an xml tree).

PHPClasses may have something too (www.phpclasses.org).

Unfortunately that's pretty much the same thing we tried first on this.
Even with the include path set to include every directory that contains
a script we need to access, the same error happens. 

> also look into the magic constant __FILE__ and the functions dirname()
> and realpath(). read the manual regard how to use 'include_path'

No, the ideal is to not touch the config.php file or any of the other
required files (otherwise we may just aswell write our own) so those
functions and the __FILE__ constant are not usable. 

Unless i miss your point?

check directory permission, check the include_path is being set,
check the include path is actually correct (I take it you have a good
understanding how include_path works).

I would say fix the config file so that it can figure out where everything
is regardless of whether your using a vhost or stuck in subdir of some other
vhost. but thats just me :-)


required files (otherwise we may just aswell write our own) so those
functions and the __FILE__ constant are not usable. 


maybe set a 'auto_prepend' directive via an .htaccess declaration in the
relevant dir?



Unless i miss your point?

[PHP] getting current page url

[Schalk]

Greetings All,

Possibly a very simple question but here goes. How would I code the 
following in PHP?


if(window.location == (("http://www.epda.cc/index.php";) || 
("http://www.epda.cc/";))) {

   $current_nav = "includes/home_nav.php";
   } else {
   $current_nav = "includes/inside_nav.php";
   }

What I am trying to accomplish is something like this:

   if(window.location == (("http://www.epda.cc/index.php";) || 
("http://www.epda.cc/";))) {

   $current_nav = "includes/home_nav.php";
   } else {
   $current_nav = "includes/inside_nav.php";
   }
   ?>
   

Thanks!

Re: [PHP] getting current page url

do a search $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] - it should answer all your question.

if in doubt a var_dump() can do wonders (in this finding out what kind of
info is generally available, e.g.:

';
var_dump($_SERVER, $_REQUEST, $_ENV, $_POST, $_GET);

php doesn't know what the location url of a window is - it's doesn't
even know a browser windwo exists (to php it doesn't actually exist)

it does (often) know which url referred it to the current script and
it knows which url was requested.


("http://www.epda.cc/";))) {
   $current_nav = "includes/home_nav.php";
   } else {
   $current_nav = "includes/inside_nav.php";
   }

What I am trying to accomplish is something like this:

http://www.epda.cc/index.php";) ||

   $current_nav = "includes/home_nav.php";
   } else {
   $current_nav = "includes/inside_nav.php";
   }
   ?>
   


conceptually those 2 bits of pseudocode are identical - at least to me.



Thanks!

Good call on dir perms, but yes, they appear to be fine. I *think* i
have a good understanding of include_path but here's the error which
quotes the include path so you/others can tell me for sure:

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '../config.inc.php'
(include_path='/var/www/localhost/vhosts/ads.communicontent.com/:/var/www/localhost/vhosts/ads.communicontent.com/admin:/var/www/localhost/vhosts/ads.communicontent.com/libraries:/var/www/localhost/vhosts/ads.communicontent.com/libraries/resources')
in /var/www/localhost/vhosts/ads.communicontent.com/admin/config.php on
line 34

and here's the line that sets it:

ini_set('include_path',
PARTNERS_MAX_PATH.':'.PARTNERS_MAX_PATH.'admin'.':'.PARTNERS_MAX_PATH.'libraries'.':'.PARTNERS_MAX_PATH.'libraries/resources');

and the definition of the constant in there:

// where max is installed (include / )
define("PARTNERS_MAX_PATH","/var/www/localhost/vhosts/ads.communicontent.com/");

Ordinarily i'd agree. We want to be able to update this set of third
party maintained scripts easily though, hence writing a layer to
interact with it rather than hack the core code. 

Hope that all makes sense!

Re: [PHP] Includes and paths confusion

[Jochem Maas]

dirs named in include_path should not have a slash at the end. and don't forget 
to
include the DOT as one of your include pathes e.g.

ini_set('include_path', '.:/the/rest');

can you send the list of requires you do [again] (and state where the files
are actually living on disk)  - I'm on 3 hours of sleep here so help me to help 
you kind of thing.

also try doing it with an 'include' iso a 'require' - might give you a
different [more helpful] error.

Thanks Jochem,

A combination $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] did the 
trick:


   if(($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) && (!$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {

   $current_nav = "includes/home_nav.php";

Netscape 4.7x and the latest version of Microsoft(R) Internet

not that this has much to do with the thread (I think ;-)

funny (as in 'not very' or 'very not') that they don't offer a mediaplayer
plugin for firefox but they do offer a 'Microsoft Genuine Advantage' plugin
for firefox.

I found this out yesterday because I needed a javascript debugger for IE
and used firefox to find/download it - which I could only do after installing
the plugin. (IE seems to choak, in some instances, if you use a variable named
'parent' in your javascript as it turns out - nice)

bunch of ass-munchers.

[Dave Goodchild]

Hi all - I am attempting to solve some maddening behaviour that has me
totally stumped and before I take a blade to my throat I thought I would
pick the brains of the group/hive/gang.

I am working on a viral marketing application that uses multipart emails to
notify entrants of their progress in the 'game'. I have a demo version which
works fine, and the current rebranded version was also fine until the client
asked for some changes then POW!

I will try and define the issue as simply as I can. I am passing 11
arguments to a function called sendSantaMail (don't ask) and as a sanity
check I have called mail() to let me know the values just before they are
passed in to the function. I get this result:

"Values to be passed to sendSantaMail:

Friend Name: Treyt
Friend Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sender Name: Bull Sykes
Sender Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Prize ID: 1
Nominator ID: 2555004452133557e4d
Nominee ID: 851355445213355cc6f
Chain ID: CHAIN824452133561a8d"

- this is all good and correct. I also call mail from the receiving function
to check the actual values received by the function and I get this:

"Values sent into sendSantaMail function:

Friend Name: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Friend Email: Look what you may have won!
Sender Name: 8 Use of undefined constant prize - assumed 'prize'

What is happening? I have checked the order of values being passed in and
the function prototype and they match in the correct order, there are no
default values. I have been trying to solve this for two days and am
particularly concerned that somewhere along the way the sender email value
becomes the script name.

Any ideas on this black Friday?

Vardumping the array / object which the function gets is allright?

Vardumping it inside the function gives you the right entries?

Well there is an undefined constant prize somewhere.. well it's just a
notice but it really looks like the problem.. Try setting
error_reporting(0) and see if it runs...

Hey Dave,

Besides from example two being the correct way to call array elements. I
think it has something todo with error reporting. It's the only thing that
comes to mind right now. Maybe you demo server doesn't echo notices...
Maybe i'm wrong .. it's friday and my brain don't work that good :)

Re: [PHP] Help!

[Dave Goodchild]

Thanks - now the parameters reach the function intact but the mailer still
does not work. Basically, the form is a self-reloader. If the form has been
submitted and the data validated (including emails sent) it displays a thank
you message. Otherwise it shows the starter form.

All that happens when I submit is a white page - no errors (display_errors
is on and error reporting set to the default level) and no html. Nada. When
I try and view source I am given the browser re-post warning.

[PHP] cgi.fix_pathinfo and iis 5

[Mariano Guadagnini]

Hi people,
I have the following issue: I´m using PHP 5 on IIS 5 and Windows XP Pro, 
and when trying to pass values through the path to my scripts, iis 
rejects them.  After some googling, I found an advice to set 
AllowPathInfoForScriptMappings variable in iis, but it didn't work 
either. Finally, I ended up with a solution i found somewhere else, 
enabling cgi.fix_pathinfo in php.ini . The thing is, that when i restart 
the server, it seems that php doesn't recognize such variable, as it 
doesn't apper on phpinfo or ini_get() neither. That looks weird, because 
in documentation is clearly stated that this variable is  available 
since  PHP 4.3.0 .

What can I do to have that setting enabled?

Thanks in advance,

Mariano Guadagnini.

Re: [PHP] Help!

[Dave Goodchild]

I would do but there are 5000+ lines and no indication of where the error is
occurring. I have just copied the demo version into the same dir and it
works fine - and that version calls the same classes (includes).

Thanks Jochem,


no probs - only by looking at your code I suspect your not all that clear as to
what it does *exactly* and/or why it works (I may be wrong).

what it does is check if $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] equate to true (i.e. not empty - 
which it
never is) and then check whether $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] equates to false,
which it might or might not but is probably not a basis on which to decide
which menu to show.

also breaking in and out of php with  is a bad idea - it sucks 
to
look at and is a waste of cpu cyles - minimal gains, but good habits should be 
encouraged
early.



A combination $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] did the 
trick:

Thanks all. Worst case scenario I can rebuild from the demo as it works
(really don't want to do that). Was loathe to plaster your screens with
miles of code but understand it's hard to assit without it. Just wanted to
know I wasn't alone! Have a great weekend!

You could also use

$self =explode("/", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

and then parse along those lines.

Dump some code to the list, just the inside function in and of itself
SHOULD give enough to find the bug.  It is PROBABLY how you are snagging
your data inside from out, or you left out a " somewhere and it is
catching it.  Believe me, I have had a heck of a time due to a single "
missing somewhere that just throws everything off.

Hi all - I am attempting to solve some maddening behaviour that has me
totally stumped and before I take a blade to my throat I thought I would
pick the brains of the group/hive/gang.

I am working on a viral marketing application that uses multipart emails
to
notify entrants of their progress in the 'game'. I have a demo version
which
works fine, and the current rebranded version was also fine until the
client
asked for some changes then POW!

I will try and define the issue as simply as I can. I am passing 11
arguments to a function called sendSantaMail (don't ask) and as a sanity
check I have called mail() to let me know the values just before they are
passed in to the function. I get this result:



sendSantaMail That's just not a *declarative* way of naming a function.
Then, 11 arguments Errr, passing an associative array with the email
parameters wouldn't have been a cleaner and better option?

"Values to be passed to sendSantaMail:


Friend Name: Treyt
Friend Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sender Name: Bull Sykes
Sender Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Prize ID: 1
Nominator ID: 2555004452133557e4d
Nominee ID: 851355445213355cc6f
Chain ID: CHAIN824452133561a8d"

- this is all good and correct. I also call mail from the receiving
function
to check the actual values received by the function and I get this:

"Values sent into sendSantaMail function:

Friend Name: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Friend Email: Look what you may have won!
Sender Name: 8 Use of undefined constant prize - assumed 'prize'
Sender Email: 158
Sender Email: /home/friend/public_html/process1.php
Prize: 1
Subject: 158
Nominator ID: 33238744520f5235b85
Nominee ID: 96658244520f524bb19
Chain ID: CHAIN84644520f525a56f"

What is happening? I have checked the order of values being passed in and
the function prototype and they match in the correct order, there are no
default values. I have been trying to solve this for two days and am
particularly concerned that somewhere along the way the sender email value

becomes the script name.



One idea, you messed up somewhere. Use debug_print_backtrace() on the
function to get a dump of function call stack. Use it with an if to catch
the moment where the wrong values appear. The first entry of the backtrace
should point the file and line where the function was called.

If you're using php4 you'll have to use var_dump(debug_backtrace()) instead
of debug_print_backtrace().

Also check the error "Use of undefined constant prize - assumed 'prize'".
Please tell me your are not doing something like this:
$arr[prize]

Any ideas on this black Friday?

Do you know what "santa" means? No? so how can you tell it's not

Santa could be a coded Mailer and that functions uses that specific 
Mailer Deamon called "santa" to send mails.

He just told he passes 11 arguments, never told how he does that.

Do you mean the way one function can call another function within

No, I realize that php are two different language on two different 
computers sharing one event.


It sounds like you're picturing PHP & JavaScript executing 
continuously & simultaneously.  You aren't, are you?


Not simultaneously and/or continuously but an easy way to communicate 
with each other.


JavaScript can execute a PHP program "at will" simply by requesting 
a PHP page from the server.  PHP can execute a JavaScript function 
"at will" simply by downloading it (with at least minimal HTML 
markup) to a browser.


That seems pretty simple & direct to me, considering that they're 
running in different computers.


What's simple and direct to you may not be to others -- and I fully 
realize that both environments are running on different computers at 
different times -- it's the your perspective of "at will" I need to 
come to terms with.


I can see how php can, and have used php to, generate a web page 
which has  tag, which can pass a variable to js 
and will cause js to execute. But, isn't there anything else? Is 
that all there is?

...
I also understand that php can generate html (have done it) and 
echo out javascript that may, or may not, run if js is present -- 
like Robert suggested in his WAHOOEY (LOL) example. But, that 
appears messy to me. If php wants to say something to js, then a 
page must be created -- it seems like a lot foreplay to get at the 
goodies.


Without a downloaded page, what goodies are there?

You know, you can download pure JavaScript, dressed only in a script 
tag, to a browser and have it execute without carrying with it a 
whole HTML page.  Is that what you're looking for?  What would such 
a script accomplish that a PHP program couldn't?  I suppose it could 
interact with the human user with prompts, alerts, and confirms; 
gather information about the client such as monitor & window size; 
grab local time to compare to server time.  What else?  If it has to 
create DOM nodes to interact with the user, haven't you come full 
circle and shouldn't you just download an HTML page to be 
JavaScript's environment?




I guess what I'm looking for is something simpler -- is there?


Paint me a picture of a hypothetical simpler situation; I'm intrigued.


I think you have provided me with a clearer picture of what's going 
on and some things for me to consider. I need to pound some code.


Thanks for your time and insight.

I'm making a PHP Installer that is customizable by using plugins, I haven't
used PHP for a while and which I have forgotten some things about PHP *eek*..

Anyway, I want to know how to add things to an array. Like this:

$foobar = array()

$foobar['rar']['miaw']

Would that output come out (for the array) as:

array(
'rar' => 'miaw'
)

Please correct me if wrong. Also I need to ask one more question, would this
work:

$foobar = array()

function addToArray($int, $value) {
$foobar[$int][$value]
}

And with a function call addToArray(1, "meow") output as the array looking
like:

array(
'1' => 'meow'
)

Thanks,

No, it would create a multi-dimensional array that contains nothing.  
You want:


$foobar['rar'] = 'miaw';

Please correct me if wrong. Also I need to ask one more question,  
would this

work:

$foobar = array()

function addToArray($int, $value) {
$foobar[$int][$value]
}

looking

like:

array(
'1' => 'meow'

No (because of the mistake commented on above). However another issue  
at play here is scope. $foobar the array will not be visible to the  
function addToArray unless you make it global.

Your query is failing.  I'm guessing that it's because you don't have a

Better if you check to make sure the query was successful before trying 
to get the data

Thanks for the quick help. I changed the code as you sugested and get

"Query was empty" as the result of the line echo (mysqli_error($conn)). So
does that mean the table is empty? But I did filled the table with some
value and mysql query displays the tables.

[PHP] display_errors off and custom error pages

[IG]

I've spent the last couple of hours trying to work this out to no avail.

I have recently moved over to a managed dedi server and no can ask my 
host to change my php.ini.


I have found out that the 'display_errors' in the php.ini is set to off 
and error file logging is off.


I would like to be able log to file which is easy to do from the ini 
file but also to show a custom error page if there is an error on one of 
the pages.


I thought I would be able to use a custom error handler such as -

ob_start();
// custom error handler
function e($type, $msg, $file, $line) {
blah blah
ob_end_clean();

   // display error page
exit();
}

set_error_handler("e");



But all I get is a blank page. Does having display_errors off mean that 
I can't use a custom error handler? I have also tried adding 
*set_ini*('*display_errors*','1') but this keeps giving me a blank page.


Can someone tell me the best (and most secure way) of having custom 
error pages in php. Ideally I would like it all set from a central place 
so that i only need to change one file for all the websites on our 
server. I didn't really want to change display_errors to on as I was 
told this wasn't very secure- i don't want error messages on any of my 
pages, I just want a simple error 500 server error page.


Many thanks,

Ian

Re: [PHP] how to get the absolute path of an included file?

[Bing Du]

Thanks all who replied. So the include path used in file2.php should be
relative to the working directory where file2.php is located.  Yes, I have
error_reporting=E_ALL in my php.ini.  The log shows include_path=.|. 
But in my situation, it took me a while to figure out what that '.' really
means because file2.php is not an actual file on the filesystem. 
file2.php is a PHP content element in a web application.  Anyway, I've
figured out.

Why not? What's so great about IM versus a MUD? IM's are so bland. If
you can do business while playing golf, drinking beer, sitting at a
hockey game, there's pretty much no reason why you can't do it almost
anywhere.

Yep, I'm old enough to remember BBSes also. The the Internet came along
and they pretty much died off.

[PHP] [JOB] PHP developered needed in Largo, MD

[tg-php]

Ok.. my turn for the $300/hr jokes (no, we're not paying that.. nor are we 
paying $299/hr.. sorry John)

Here's the skinny.. more details available upon request.

Should have a more-than-decent grasp on the following:
PHP4
MySql4
Javascript (AJAX experience is nice but not necessary)
HTML and CSS is always good

Basically this is an inherited system that started out as a single page to 
track some stuff and has grown into a giant web application.  We need to 
support the existing application and fix bugs while planning to rebuild the 
whole thing in hopefully a better planned way and not "Single plage + massive 
scope creep".

The atmosphere here is really laid back, but we need people who can self 
motivate so the laid back atmosphere doesn't turn into a big slack-fest.

Someone for in-house work is a definite.  There are too many little things and 
issues that need to be dealt with and discussed in person to handle remotely 
all the time.

Send an email with a copy of your resume attached and any links to or samples 
of your work if available to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".  (just tried to end that 
sentence with a semi-colon..  PHP has taught me that semi-colons come after 
double-quotes apparently)

Hey Jay!  We run linux here... you could leave your Windows world again!  :)

[PHP] Multi-threaded port listener

Basically, I want to write server (in PHP) that listeners on a  
particular port, and spins off a thread/process (essentially, execute

So... without some code examples or something a bit more substantial
than "iis rejects them" it's difficult to help out.  I have no
experience with the cgi.fix_pathinfo, but I'm _guessing_ that you're
trying to do something like this:

http://www.mariano.com/script.php/var1/var2

And get var1 and var2 out of the path?

If so, you've likely tried getting at them with:

$_SERVER['PATH_INFO']

or even

getenv('PATH_INFO');

?  And if so, what exactly does iis do?  Run phpinfo() and see what
environment variables your server is setting (VERY_HELPFUL).  For
example, on the 3rd party hosting server I use, PATH_INFO is empty,
but an ORIG_PATH_INFO contains the value I need.

As I said at the start, please give us some more information, and
perhaps we can be a bit more helpful...and I can stop asking you more
questions than you asked us.

it's possible in PHP - but you'll unlikely want to do it as seperate
processes, even as threads (besides, PHP doesn't have threads?)

Check out  http://php.net/stream_select and
http://netevil.org/node.php?uuid=427d6d12-c107-9816-7428-27d6d128f5e5

With stream_select and the other stream handling software, there are
some guys writing a mail server in PHP. I've got a script opening a
dozen outbound connections to an external website to push it data
myself, and that saves a lot of time rather than waiting for a
connection to come back from fopen/fsockopen

[PHP] GD text proc via php OK for local strings, but NOT for SESSION-passed strings. why?

[OpenMacNews]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: RIPEMD160


hi all,

php-5.1.2 built from src on OSX 10.4.6.

GD-2.0.33 + libpng-1.2.10 are built/enabled.

GD is working fine ... locally.

in a given php file, this returns an image as expected:

...
$word="blah";
imagefttext($im, ... other params ... , $word);
...
header ("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($im);
...

however, if rather than defining $word locally in the script, i

$_SESSION['test']="blah";

elsewhere, then:

$word=$_SESSION['test']="blah";
imagefttext($im, ... other params ... , $word);
imagepng($im);

i simply get a blank image.  NO error in either the browser or my apache
logs.

a simple test with:

echo $word;

outputs

"blah"

as expected; i.e, the _SESSION var *is* passed.

QUESTION: what's different about the string passed via SESSION?

thx!

Re: [PHP] Multi-threaded port listener

[Edwin Barrios]

Hi.

If you want a separate script execution, you can use inetd o xinetd to
listen for you that port.
When inetd got a connection execute your php script, one execution by
connection.

I think that it is more usefull to create your  own responser server with
php using forks !. But using inetd has the advantage that you can use
tcpwrappers.

[PHP] Possible?

[René Fournier]

Simple problem: Many client apps need to send data to a server.

By default each client will open a persistent TCP socket connection  
to a common IP address:port (10.10.10.10:1234) and write to it (which  
the server will save/log, etc.).


My question is, what should be ready to listen at the IP:port? I was  
thinking of writing a PHP command-line socket server that listens at  
that port. But there will be a potentially huge number of clients  
connecting simultaneously (1000s), not transmitting a lot of data per  
se, but a lot of connections... Anyway, instead I thought writing a  
simple PHP script—say, listener.php—that gets executed by the web  
server and enters a socket_read loop until the client terminates the  
connection (set_time_limit(0)).


Does this sound like a good way to do it? This way, Apache handles  
all the connections, and PHP is instantiated each time, but without  
having to fork processes, etc, and without having to do PHP CLI.


Anyway, I've started looking at this, but I'm not quite sure if it's  
even possible. I mean, can "something" send a request to Apache, and  
continue to write data along that TCP socket? Normally, HTTP requests  
include GET or POST for such data, but this is not a a web browser  
that's opening the connection.


Hope I'm somewhat clear. Just struggling through some options  
here Anyway, thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Pretty good thoughts, there.  Some years ago, Tim Perdue

the browser appears to be accessing documents in subfolders,

It sure looks like a possibility of this or similar magic in
this case.  Of course, I could be way off my tree...


And it appears I was at least *slightly* off my tree.  In looking for

I meant "ForceType", and here's how it works in httpd.conf:


  ServerName test.foo.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/data/footest
  ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
  


Now, you write "manual" in PHP, (no file extension), and anything 
directed to "manual" is parsed by said script.


Since I used the wrong terminology, I may have distracted any *real*

You know what they say...

"Job security through code obscurity!"

And no, I don't know who "they" are :) I'm in the vertically aligned
brace camp. It's just cleaner when the braces line up because you can
pick out the beginning and end of the block easier... doubly so when you
have a long conditional that wraps... KISS baby!

I've spent the last couple of hours trying to work this out to no avail.

I have recently moved over to a managed dedi server and no can ask my

I have found out that the 'display_errors' in the php.ini is set to off
and error file logging is off.

I would like to be able log to file which is easy to do from the ini
file but also to show a custom error page if there is an error on one of
the pages.

I thought I would be able to use a custom error handler such as -

ob_start();
// custom error handler
function e($type, $msg, $file, $line) {
blah blah
ob_end_clean();

// display error page
exit();
}

set_error_handler("e");



But all I get is a blank page. Does having display_errors off mean that
I can't use a custom error handler? I have also tried adding
*set_ini*('*display_errors*','1') but this keeps giving me a blank page.


Sounds like a parse error (using the code above will give you that).

Try it in a htaccess file:

php_flag display_errors 1

(I think).

You can't use ini_set because a parse error breaks the whole script
and it's not executed, so you need to change this value before the
script.

RE: [PHP] Possible?

Have you considered implementing a http service?

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.wddx.php

I believe this will relieve you of all the connection management stuff and
use the apache server to handle thread management.  All your clients would
perform something very similar to a post with their information, and each
server thread does it's insert.  If you design your tables with an auto
increment primary key, you should avoid problems with multiple concurrent
inserts coliding on the same table.

I found the following information helpful in evaluating the use of wddx;

Re: [PHP] PHP Standard style of writing your code

[Rafael]

IMHO, vertical aligned brackets can be messy when nesting
relatively-small blocks (and seems to me like a lot of wasted space)
A couple of facts of my codding style:
- I tend to always use brakets, so I ignore the fact that single
  lines/actions can be written without brackets,
- I try not to let lines grow larger than about 100 cols (cannot
  be really done with strings and other thingies, and maybe that
  should remain in the old 80 cols, but it's too litle space), and
- I use a 4 space indentation, and that alone suffices for making
  a block stand clear enough

So, in my case, the code would be something like
  function foo( $x ) {
  // body...
  }
  ···
  $a = foo($b);

Do you know what "santa" means? No? so how can you tell it's not
declarative.
Santa could be a coded Mailer and that functions uses that specific
Mailer Deamon called "santa" to send mails.



Yeah you're right, I was thinking the exact same thing a while after I
posted that. Maybe it was a correct name in the context used, but, I still
think "Santa" is a really misleading name for a mailer, and not to mention
that a mass mailer identifying itself as "Santa mailer" in the headers is
asking to be send directly to spam. Anyway, I was wrong.


Then, 11 arguments Errr, passing an associative array with the email

He just told he passes 11 arguments, never told how he does that.



Well, if somebody tells you a function has 11 arguments what would you
think?

OK, OK, I'll stop.  Think I'll go out and get wasted~

Did you just say wasted space? I mean it's not like 99.9% (pulled from
the dark recesses of my behind) of code gets printed. So that leaves
wasted space on what? My 500 gigs of HD space? You are kidding right?!

I do so also, it's just good maintenance style since adding code to the

I still keep my lines at 80... on rare cases 81 :)

Ditto... but those vertically aligned braces just make it eve clearer.

Don't tie up your HTTP connections for this.

You probably can't do this, and even if you could, you don't WANT to
do this!

You should try the simple solution first:

http://php.net/sockets

The "talkback" server example there is a good starter kit.

You then just need to have it be able to handle the connections and
put the data somewhere -- A MySQL ISAM table is probably the easiest
and most likely to handle the volume you want, at a guess...

If THAT is not fast enough, then your next move is not to try and hack
Apache to get a "pool" going, but to find something LIKE the Apache
dispatcher to wrap around your server.

Or, possibly, consider setting up a "pool" of hardware to handle the
connections.

But first, make sure that the straightforward approach is "too slow"
before you get yourself all bent out of shape trying to solve a
problem that doesn't exist. :-)

I suppose my answer boils down to:

You'll never know until you try, on YOUR hardware with YOUR software.

I suspect that if ALL your server does is slam the data into MySQL or
fwrite() to an opened (once at start) file, it will be fine -- or at
least in the ballpark enough that you can explore measures to make it
faster rather than build something super complex.  That's just a WILD
GUESS.  Only a test on your hardware will tell you.

The good thing is, a test script from the example in the manual should
take you, what, an hour to write, a day to debug and make sure it
works with multiple clients, and another day or two to stress test and
see if it can handle the load?

Re: [PHP] PHP Standard style of writing your code

	It's kind of ironic that you didn't split that big chunk of text into 
paragraphs, don't you think? ;)


	Anyway, yes, I was referring to visual space, we all know that is more 
clear the more you can see the code, that's why we don't let rows go 
insinely long (well, wide actually), and that also applies for the 
"vertical viewport" (rows also, not only columns)  That's why *I* find 
it a waste of (vertical) space.


	But, as we all know also, coding style is just that, a style, yet 
another matter of taste --of course, there are some basics that should 
always be present for the sake of clarity (such as indentation, 
comments, and an empty line here and there as logic-separator), or 
that's what I think, anyway --let's not discuss about this, wi'l ya?
