I agree. Too bad the PHP developers didn't come up with a special symbol for heredoc closing labels to give us more control over script formatting. I do however find this a fairly minor irritation, a small price to pay for heredoc's power. To lighten the mess of heredoc I personally use the following format: $foo = <<<_ ... _; Nice and concise! Thanks, I'll use that. However that's only useful if indenting the content is not an issue. I don't see how you draw that conclusion. Heredoc doesn't become useless if we need to indent the content, it just means we lose complete control over indenting every line of our PHP script. The functionality is still totally there. This script indenting issue with heredoc is for me one of the few irritations of PHP. I love the language and the power that heredoc gives me. I'm also irritated by the class member syntax $this->that but I still use it as well. > I ask because I use heredoc all the time, sometimes for inline code > as above but most often for template assembly, maintaining HTML in > external files that can be edited independently of the PHP logic. I use a tag based template system, there's no PHP in my content so my content files for the most part just look like more HTML. This is a different topic, but also one close to my heart. Yes, I too use my own selector-based templating system. It does allow me to embed PHP variables into the template if I want, but the primary merge between plain HTML template and MySQL content happens through CSS-style selectors. Hello , Cool. My comparable example (but in an HTML context) would look like: Hello FIRSTNAME, where the engine replaces the content of the span with the value from the database based on a match of 'span.firstName' or perhaps just '.firstName'. (In this example the 'FIRSTNAME' content in the template is merely a place-holder to make it easier to preview the markup and isn't necessary to the merge process.) | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | Interesting project!

Hi, I just wondering this.. For example I had a several php pages. In this page there was an array named $arrHede It has lots of values. in index.php $arrHede['antin']='yada'; in config.php $arrHede['kuntin']='bada'; and so. So I want to write a scrpit check all those files to get all $arrHede keys. And I do not want to include those files because of errors.

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't see a question anywhere in that lot, just a statement of what you want to do. Seems obvious to me that you need to open each file, find assignments to the $arrHede array and pull out the values. Have you even tried to do that yet? We're not here to write scripts for you.

Scanning all the php files with regex is probably easiest, e.g.:
if (preg_match_all('/\$arrHede\[([\'"])(.*?)\1/', $contents,
$matches)) {
$keys = array_merge($keys, $matches[2]);
}
}

Note that if your array keys contain escaped quotes, like ['foo\'bar'],
the regex would need to be a bit more complex to allow for them.

Hi, I have 3 domains: www.example1.com, www.example2.com www.template.com I have a PHP website on www.template.com with a database. in this database I have many tables one of which is sites, which has a list of the sites using the template with a site_id.

Are the include files only compiled when execution hits them, or are

the filename isn't in a variable.
Compiled when execution hits them. You can prove this by trying to
conditionally include a file with a syntax error: if (false)
include('script_with_syntax_error.php'); won't cause an error.
Good idea.
Secondly, are include files that are referenced, but not used, loaded
into memory? I.e Are statically included files automatically loaded
into memory at the start of a request? (Of course those where the
name is variable can only be loaded once the name has been
determined.) And when are they loaded into memory? When the
instruction pointer hits the include? Or when the script is initially
loaded?
If your include file is actually included, it will use memory. If it
is not included because of some condition, then it won't use memory.
I wonder if that's the same when a cache/optimiser is used. Probably.
Maybe I'll check.
Are included files ever unloaded? For instance if I had 3 include
files and no loops, once execution had passed from the first include
file to the second, the engine might be able to unload the first
file. Or at least the code, if not the data.
If you define a global variable in an included file and don't unset it
anywhere, then it isn't automatically "unloaded", nor are
function/class definitions unloaded when execution is finished.
Once you include a file, it isn't unloaded later though - even
included files that have just executed statements (no definitions
saved for later) seem to eat a little memory once, but it's so minimal
that you wouldn't run into problems unless you were including many
thousand files. Including the same file again doesn't eat further
memory. I assume the eaten memory is for something to do with
compilation or caching in the ZE.
Thirdly, I understand that when a request arrives, the script it
requests is compiled before execution. Now suppose a second request
arrives for the same script, from a different requester, am I right
in assuming that the uncompiled form is loaded? I.e the script is
tokenized for each request, and the compiled version is not loaded
unless you have engine level caching installed - e.g. MMCache or Zend
Optimiser.
I think that's correct. If you don't have an opcode cache, the script
is compiled again for every request, regardless of who requests it.
IMO, you're probably better off with PECL/APC or eAccelerator rather
than MMCache or Zend Optimizer. I use APC personally, and find it
exceptional -> rock solid + fast. (eAccelerator had a slight
performance edge for my app up until APC's most recent release, where
APC now has a significant edge.)
Thanks - that's useful to know.
Fourthly, am I right in understanding that scripts do NOT share
memory, even for the portions that are simply instructions? That is,
when the second request arrives, the script is loaded again in full.
(As opposed to each request sharing the executed/compiled code, but
holding data separately.)
Yep, I think that's also correct.
Fifthly, if a script takes 4MB, given point 4, does the webserver
demand 8MB if it is simultaneously servicing 2 requests?
Yep. More usually with webserver/PHP overhead.
Lastly, are there differences in these behaviors for PHP4 and PHP5?
Significant differences between 4 and 5, but with regards to the
above, I think they're more or less the same.
Thanks Jon. So in summary: use a cache if possible. Late load files to
save memory. Buy more memory to handle more sessions. And it's
conceivable that when caches are used, different rules may apply.

Then you end up with one copy of the files and how ever many sites you need.
No frames, no duplicated code.
It's been a long time (5+ years) since I worked with Windows/IIS, sorry I

Hope that's enough to get you started in the right direction.

Hi,
I am trying to have 1 template site and have an unlimited number of
websites using this template site to call there own information.
The sites are exactly the same except for the database, each of the
sites also needs there own URL, for example one of these urls may be
www.example1.com and the other www.example2.com. These sites are
identical apart from the database they call to, one will call to a
database called example1 and the other example2. I want another site
(for example www.solution.com) to read what url has been entered and
to pull in the database for that site (either example1 or example2)
and show that information. I have tried using the CURL library
without success (not sure how to use it fully) and have tried using
frames but had loads of problems regarding losing session data. can
anyone help?
Thanks

RE: [PHP] PHP Template Trouble
Well, I'm sure there is a better way to do it, but this should work.
config.php does not need to be dynamic in this scenario.
1. Copy index.php and config.php into each site's directory.
2. Change the $db_name variable in config.php to use the correct database.
".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."";
print "This site is using the database name \"{$db_name}\"";
print "";
?>
If you can't get it to work using this method, I give up :P

Re: [PHP] PHP Template Trouble
Brad, I cant thank you enough!!! This has been getting to me for weeks.
I simply moved the mapping of the URL's so that all the URL's point to
the same website, i could then use that http _host to pick them up and
then i've basically used this to query the database and give me what I
want. It was so simple in the end but I never even thought about doing
it this way, i knew there would be an easy solution though.
It works perfectly, finally i can get some sleep.. now just got to get
around to fixing all the installation!
Well, I'm sure there is a better way to do it, but this should work.
config.php does not need to be dynamic in this scenario.
1. Copy index.php and config.php into each site's directory.
2. Change the $db_name variable in config.php to use the correct database.

I haven't used IIS for a while, but this should still be similar in the latest version... In the website properties hit the Advanced... button next to the IP address. IIRC the top box is labelled "Web Site Identities" or similar. You can add identities with the same IP address but a different host header for each domain. Requests for each domain will then be directed to that same site. -Stut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You messed up. :-)
$d == $selDay would be the correct expression in the middle of that.
My personal choice is:
$last_day = 31; //calculated from date()/mktime() etc
for ($day = 1; $day <= $last_day; $day++){
$selected = $chosen_day == $ ? 'selected="selected"' : '';
echo " $day\n";
}
I don't *think* the w3c requires/recommends a value= in there, if the
label *IS* the value, but can live with it either way...
echo " $day\n";
is fine.
I used to be distracted by \" but I've grown so used to it that it no
longer bothers me in my reading flow, unless it's excessive and the
expression spans multiple lines.
Separation of logic and presentation is all very well, but this isn't
even business logic. It's "presentation logic" which, to me,
shouldn't be crammed into the complex business portion of my
application.
I'd much rather have the complex business logic focus on the
application needs than the minutae of date formatting.
It's all down to personal choice, though.

As far as I know, the files are only loaded as execution hits them.
If your code contains:
Then foo.inc will never ever be read from the hard drive.
You realize you could have tested this in less time than it took you
to post, right?.

I doubt that the code is unloaded -- What if you called a function
from the first file while you were in the second?

You are correct.
The Caching systems such as Zend Cache (not the Optimizer), MMCache,
APC, etc are expressly designed to store the tokenized version of the
PHP script to be executed.
Note that their REAL performance savings is actually in loading from
the hard drive into RAM, not actually the PHP tokenization.
Skipping a hard drive seek and read is probably at least 95% of the
savings, even in the longest real-world scripts.
The tokenizer/compiler thingie is basically easy chump change they
didn't want to leave on the table, rather than the bulk of the
performance "win".
I'm sure somebody out there has perfectly reasonable million-line PHP
script for a valid reason that the tokenization is more than 5% of the
savings, but that's going to be a real rarity.

Yes, without a cache, each HTTP request will load a "different" script.

If you have a PHP script that is 4M in length, you've done something
horribly wrong. :-)
Of course, if it loads a 4M image file, then, yes, 2 at once needs 8M
etc.
> Lastly, are there differences in these behaviors for PHP4 and PHP5?
I doubt it.
I think APC is maybe going to be installed by default in PHP6 or
something like that, but I dunno if it will be "on" by default or
not...
At any rate, not from 4 to 5.
Note that if you NEED a monster body of code to be resident, you can
prototype it in simple PHP, port it to C, and have it be a PHP
extension.
This should be relatively easy to do, if you plan fairly carefully.
If a village idiot like me can write a PHP extension (albeit a
dirt-simple one) then anybody can. :-)

Out of curiosity is your template engine just a search and replace based on the span tags? Mine involves parsing out the tags and recompilation of tag generated content (so you can output template tags within a template tag). Tags can also load modules and provide meta logic. The following is an example of a form template: Username: Password: As you may be noticing, my template engine is a pull engine. Modules are pulled into play by the template and accessed via the render tags (the tag shows another way to access module fields). The exception is for the email example I formerly sent since the email module is instantiated for the email template by virtue of being loaded by the mail service -- but the email template can also load modules and can access any other custom tags created for the project. For instance I often have tags like the following: Some content Which means only a user with admin access will see the content. Also, for simplicity I'll have: Which will inject the firstName value of the currently logged in user. So basically, my code never references my templates, my templates just include modules themselves which makes the code far more re

I embed them in the CSS template, which is compiled to a CSS stylesheet file and so the variables become static after compilation. This is useful if you're not determining values by any PHP logic, since then your stylesheet can be served up as a static document while retaining the flexibility of using variably defined values to generate the stylesheet.

Instead of focussing on the domain name, perhaps you should just connect to a different HOST in the database connection for the different sites.

We read the following:
XML does not support attribute minimization. Attribute-value pairs
must be written in full. Attribute names such as compact and checked
cannot occur in elements without their value being specified.
CORRECT: unminimized attributes
INCORRECT: minimized attributes
So even if you aren't using XHTML yet, it's wise to get into the practice.

Re: [PHP] [php] passing variables doesn't work
Every HTTP request is separate.
Nothing is preserved from one to the next unless you program it to be
preserved.
You can pass around hidden inputs.
You can use sessions.
You can store stuff in the DB.
You can use shared memory.
But ain't nothing gonna get shared that you don't make it be shared.
That's by DESIGN so that HTTP and PHP can "scale up" by just throwing
more servers into a web farm.
Any bottle-neck you create with your data-sharing is your bottle-neck,
by your choice, with your architecture, that you have to fix when it
breaks because you need to handle 100 million hits a second.
It ain't PHP's or HTTP's problem, though, cuz they're designed to
handle that by just buying more servers. :-)

I would suggest that job postings that are non-telecommute should have the city/region in the Subject: line. Your local PHP User Group and Linux User Group are probably a better place for a non-telecommute job, actually.

There is a nice list here of sites that publish PHP-related job opportunities: http://us2.php.net/links.php near the bottom of the page.

I would add craigslist to that list, though with craigslist you have to sift through job offers with "great ideas" which are completely unworkable and the pay scale is ludicrous.

My understanding of why COUNT() is the better solution is that
mysql_num_rows() requires MySQL to cycle through the found records on
a second pass to count them, whereas the first gathers the count
during the first pass, the record-selection phase.
Of course, if you also need to have the selected records accessible
to a loop, using COUNT() will force you to execute two queries, one
for the record count and one for the data themselves, so at that
point the relative advantage is less clear.
While we're talking about optimization, I'd want to check to make
sure COUNT(*) didn't ask MySQL to generate a throw-away recordset
consisting of all fields. I wonder if it would be more
machine-efficient to use COUNT(`last_name`), specifying a single
field, in this case the same field your query is examining anyway.

This would be faster.
Index on last_name will probably help a great deal.

This will be slower as MySQL/PHP have to store and maintain a dataset
of all 'Smith' records.

You'd have to test on your hardware and your dataset to see which is
faster at that point, I think.
And if the dataset is small enough to get the whole shebang, then you
probably don't care.
And if it's not, then you want LIMIT/OFFSET and then you want
SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS or whatever it is with the mysql_num_rows() so you
know how many rows there were without the LIMIT.

count(*) is heavily optimized in MySQL, as I understand it.
All this belongs on a MySQL list, not here, anyway.

A) I see no need, now or ever, to use XHTML.
B) What you are referencing has ZERO BEARING on the question of not
having ANY value attribute at all, as far as I can see:
5
This does not have a minimized VALUE attribute.
It has *NO* value attribute at all.

Wow, pretty aggressive. No reason to EVER use xhtml - hmmm, good attitude, good evolutionary sense. Let's wait and see. I believe the gent was referring to the use of 'selected="selected"' and trying to encourage good habits in someone - which I think is commendable. Why so angry?
Re: [PHP] counting records in db
Why would you want to do that? Think about what you're trying to do. In the first case you want a COUNT of records in the database, in the second you just want to see if the user/password combination or whatever exist, so just use a normal SELECT query, no need to use the wrong tool for the job...!

Assuming that the 'Username' field is unique, then the COUNT() is not
necessary in this case as the number of returned results would never be
greater than 1.
A more reasonable approach would be something like this:

I'd question whether you really needed to get a record count. If
your logon system is robust, each member will be listed only once;
even if not, it's probably not the number of records you're
interested in learning but whether or not there are any. I'd suffice with:
SELECT Username
FROM customers
WHERE Username = '$Username' AND Password = '$Password'
LIMIT 1,0;
In a case like this, where I'm confident I have either one record or
none, I'd be happy to use mysqsl_num_rows().
In the example above, which field you select is arbitrary, unless you
actually want more information about the logged-on user:
SELECT FirstName, LastName, SecurityLevel
FROM customers
WHERE Username = '$Username' AND Password = '$Password'
LIMIT 1,0;

Paul

Re: [PHP] natsort()
natsort() places the array elements in natural order but not the keys.
If you want your elements printed using "print" in a loop either
reorganise the keys first or use "foreach".
The easiest method would be to use:
foreach($dl as $filename){
print $filename;
}
If you insist on using a while loop you could use:
$dl = array_merge($dl); to reorder the keys from 0 to array size-1.
then use:
while ($i <= $array_count){print $dl[$i]; $i++;}
If you use "while" you must increment $i to get all of the elements printed.
Alternatively you could use a for loop after reordering the keys:
for($i=0;$i

As far as I know, the files are only loaded as execution hits them.
If your code contains:
Then foo.inc will never ever be read from the hard drive.
You realize you could have tested this in less time than it took you
to post, right?.
:-)
I don't know the extent to which the engine optimises performance, and I
know very little about how different versions of the engine deal with
the issue, but I guessed it depended on the behaviour of the engine,
cache and maybe optimiser, and know/knew I don't know enough... My
thinking: for dynamically linked files, one speed optimisation is to
load the file before it's needed, at the expense of memory, while
continuing execution of the loaded portions. It's easy to do if the
filename is static. The code may never be executed, but still takes up
space. Some data structures can also be pre-loaded in this way.
Are included files ever unloaded? For instance if I had 3 include
files
and no loops, once execution had passed from the first include file to
the second, the engine might be able to unload the first file. Or at
least the code, if not the data.
I doubt that the code is unloaded -- What if you called a function
from the first file while you were in the second?
I agree it's unlikely, but it's feasible if coded is loaded whenever
required. Especially if data and code are separated by the engine, and
that's quite likely because of the garbage collection.
Thirdly, I understand that when a request arrives, the script it
requests is compiled before execution. Now suppose a second request
arrives for the same script, from a different requester, am I right in
assuming that the uncompiled form is loaded? I.e the script is
tokenized
for each request, and the compiled version is not loaded unless you
have
engine level caching installed - e.g. MMCache or Zend Optimiser.
You are correct.
The Caching systems such as Zend Cache (not the Optimizer), MMCache,
APC, etc are expressly designed to store the tokenized version of the
PHP script to be executed.
Note that their REAL performance savings is actually in loading from
the hard drive into RAM, not actually the PHP tokenization.
Skipping a hard drive seek and read is probably at least 95% of the
savings, even in the longest real-world scripts.
The tokenizer/compiler thingie is basically easy chump change they
didn't want to leave on the table, rather than the bulk of the
performance "win".
I'm sure somebody out there has perfectly reasonable million-line PHP
script for a valid reason that the tokenization is more than 5% of the
savings, but that's going to be a real rarity.
Thanks - that's really useful - I didn't realise that the bulk of the
saving wasn't in tokenising.
Fourthly, am I right in understanding that scripts do NOT share
memory,
even for the portions that are simply instructions? That is, when the
second request arrives, the script is loaded again in full. (As
opposed
to each request sharing the executed/compiled code, but holding data
separately.)
Yes, without a cache, each HTTP request will load a "different" script.
Do you know if, when a cache is used, whether requests in the same
thread use the same in-memory object. I.e. Is the script persistent in
the thread?
Fifthly, if a script takes 4MB, given point 4, does the webserver
demand
8MB if it is simultaneously servicing 2 requests?
If you have a PHP script that is 4M in length, you've done something
horribly wrong. :-)
Sort of. I'm using Drupal with lots of modules loaded. PHP memory_limit
is set to 20MB, and at times 20MB is used. I think that works per
request. All the evidence points to that. So 10 concurrent requests,
which is not unrealistic, it could use 400MB + webserver overhead. And I
still want to combine it with another bit of software that will use 10
to 15MB per request. It's time to think about memory usage and whether
there are any strategies to disengage memory usage from request rate.
Of course, if it loads a 4M image file, then, yes, 2 at once needs 8M
etc.
Lastly, are there differences in these behaviors for PHP4 and PHP5?
I doubt it.
I think APC is maybe going to be installed by default in PHP6 or
something like that, but I dunno if it will be "on" by default or
not...
At any rate, not from 4 to 5.
Thanks.
Note that if you NEED a monster body of code to be resident, you can
prototype it in simple PHP, port it to C, and have it be a PHP
extension.
A good idea, but not feasible in this situation.
Thank you.

You can rewrite the url using mod_rewrite or some such variant to handle
this.
Yes, there may well be ways to get round what the web server would
otherwise do when it encounters a .php extension, but I feel that I'd
be breaking an expectation. I'd much rather use an extension that was
specific to the serialization format.
You could "convert" it to a php file:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} *.json
RewriteRule ^(.*).json$ json.php?$1 [T=application/x-httpd-php,L]
Might not work straight away but that should give you an idea of what's
possible.

I tend to stick to unix timestamps as well, because date formats are completely unstandard between different SQL databases. MySQL's date futzing functions are nice, but they're different than Postgres', which are different than Oracle's, etc. Generally, most of the the math I need to do I can do in PHP either before or after grabbing the timestamp. I am sure there is a counter point, but this for what I do I just stick to timestamps. :-) -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Drupal tends to use about 10 MB of memory in normal usage for a reasonable set of modules in my experience, but a crapload more on the admin/modules page because it has to load everything in order to do so. Normally you won't hit that page very often. :-) However, Drupal is deliberately friendly toward APC. I don't recall the stats (I know someone made some pretty graphs at one point, but I can't find them), but simply throwing APC at Drupal should give you a hefty hefty performance boost. I believe APC does cache-one-run-many, so the code, at least, will only be stored in RAM once rather than n times. (Richard is correct, though, that data is generally larger than code in most apps.) Also, search the Drupal forums for something called "Split mode". It was something chx was putting together a while back. I don't know what it's status is, but he claimed to get a nice performance boost out of it. Cheers. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Problem compiling PHP 4.4.2 with mcrypt
I have to get a temporary server in place under a tight time frame and am using a pre-existing server that wasn't configured really for hosting websites. I've upgraded all the services on it like going from Apache 1.3.x to Apache 2.0.59 and PHP from it's old version to 4.4.2 however I need to have mcrypt compiled with PHP and I'm running into a problem. If I compile PHP without mcrypt I can install PHP without issue. However, when I try to compile PHP with --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/mcrypt I get the following error: main/internal_functions.lo -lcrypt -lcrypt -lmcrypt -lltdl -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lcrypt -lcrypt -o libphp4.la /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.2/../../../../i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lltdl collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [libphp4.la] Error 1 Now I went back and compiled without mcrypt and looked for that line and this is what was there: main/internal_functions.lo -lcrypt -lcrypt -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lcrypt -lcrypt -o libphp4.la I see that along with -lmcrypt not being there neither is -lltdl is there something I'm missing? Do I need to have something else installed on the box? Normally I haven't had this problem with this. But this is an old suse 8.x box that is being used due to time frame issues. Like I said I can compile PHP without mcrypt, but the project requires mcrypt so any help on this would be appreciated.

Re: [PHP] How does the Zend engine behave?
The Caching systems such as Zend Cache (not the Optimizer), MMCache, APC, etc are expressly designed to store the tokenized version of the PHP script to be executed. Note that their REAL performance savings is actually in loading from the hard drive into RAM, not actually the PHP tokenization. Skipping a hard drive seek and read is probably at least 95% of the savings, even in the longest real-world scripts. Interesting. If PHP tokenization is such a small cost, what makes a special caching system better than the OS for caching files in memory after the first disk read? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

APC actually executes the opcodes directly in shared memory, so unlike a disk cache, you are not copying lots of stuff around. APC does need to copy some things down into process-local memory, but most can be left where it is. Disk caches also tend to expire pretty fast because everything your OS does tends to touch the disk and when you application starts eating memory your disk cache is the first to go when things get tight. With a dedicated shared memory segment that won't happen. Things will stay put. It is also possible to run APC in no-stat mode which means it will never touch the disk at all. If you are on an Intel cpu with an older OS like freebsd4, disk-touching syscalls are massively slow and you can gain a lot by skipping the up-to-date stat check on each request and include file. Finally the compiler does more than just tokenize your script. It will cache functions and classes when it can and rewrite the opcodes so these functions and classes won't have to be created at execution time. Of course, that assumes you haven't gone all framework-crazy and made everything dynamic with autoload or weird conditional function and class declarations. If it becomes a runtime decision whether class or a function is declared, or heaven forbid, the same class takes on different signatures based on some runtime condition, then there isn't much the compiler can do to speed that up. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Shopping Cart
Hi, A client has requested a cart with the following features, any leads on such a package, preferably open-source? Is there a way to add things like: •Customer ratings to the cart? •Qualifying criteria: Is there a way to add that to the cart as a checkbox with descriptor? For example, if someone's selling a monitor that's made with no toxic materials and 50% recycled plastic, the administrator would check a box that says "no toxic" and another that says "recycled" and then add a descriptor for the recycled button that gives the amount of recycled content? •Data for accounting purposes: (sales info and the like). I'd like to collect customer info for internal purposes, or if they opt-in, for further communication. I'd like to get the usual web traffic stats (referring sites, etc.).
