Re: [PHP] include "config.php" does not work anymore after PHP 5.2

[wmac]

Thank you People. Someone mentioned the problem.

It is the starting PHP tag.

I never never thought my config.php might have problem. I have used
this config.php for almost 6 years and never had problem (the first
time I have forgotten to add it 6 years ago because I had migrated
from ASP. I have copied this wrong config.php to some other projects.

Throughout the years I have upgraded PHP and Apache (on windows and
Linux) and I have never had this problem.

It's strange that how PHP has never had problem with it and finally
now it has found the problem! I am now doing J2EE for 3 years and this
bug caught me finally. (I think I need to update a few delivered
projects before they come up with the problem)

Thank you again.

Mac

Hi Mac,

You don't need to sacrifice your coding practices if your apache
installation allows .htaccess files.
Try the following in an .htaccess file:

php_flag short_open_tag on

[PHP] Need help for DOM xsd validation

[Matthias Reindl]

Hi,

I'm trying to load XML data into my script. That's no problem. The  
problem is, that the schema validation fails all time after loading a  
new document:


Warning: DOMDocument::schemaValidate()  
[function.DOMDocument-schemaValidate]: Element  
'{http://www.desktopportal.de/Preferences}user': This element is not  
expected. Expected is ( user ).


Funny is, if I'm creating and adding elements with php (DOMDocument  
etc.) and then validate the xml structure, no error occures. But if I  
reload this saved file next time when the script is reloading, I get a  
warning.


Any ideas? Thanks,
Matthias

Re: [PHP] sprintf() oddness

[Christoph]

The 4th significant digit in both cases is '5' but in the first case, it's
rounded down but in the second case it is rounded up.  Is sprintf() basing
it's decision on the value of the 3rd significant digit?  If so, why?
Shouldn't rounding decisions be based on subsequent digits and not 
preceding

ones?
Actually, it's more accurate to use the preceding digit to determine 
rounding. What you describe is "if even then round down else round up". 
That's more accurate than always rounding up or always rounding down.

Please follow:
When the digit is zero, no rounding takes place.
When the digit is 1 - 4, round down.
When the digit is 6 - 9, round up.


Ok, I understand what's gong on but still not why.

Fine up to there -- but, if you always round up or down for 5, then you 
are introducing bias.


Fair point except...

So, if you use the even/odd value of the preceding digit to determine 
which way to round for 5, then it's more accurate.
My rounding method doesn't always win against php's round(), but it wins 
more times than not. Plus, it takes a lot of rounding to introduce the 
bias I found and thus for most applications using the round() function 
(always round down) will suffice.


...consider the following example:


echo '
sprintf() test:

[PHP] checkbox unchecked

[Ronald Wiplinger]

I have now tried to add many of the security hints on a web page and
come to a problem.
I am checking if the allowed fields match the sent fields.
>From the database I get the information if a checkbox is checked or not:





If the user takes out the checkmark the value will become "" and the
field will not submitted which results in a missing field.

$allowed = array();
$allowed[]='form';
$allowed[]='R_a';
$allowed[]='R_b';

$sent = $array_keys($_POST);
if($allowed == $sent) {
... do some checking ...
} else {
echo "Expected input fields do not match!";
}
break;


How can I force a "n" for not checked in the input field? or how can I
solve that?

Re: [PHP] checkbox unchecked

[Larry Garfield]

First of all, using "y" and "n" for boolean values (such as a checkbox) is 
very sloppy.  "n" is boolean True.  A boolean value should evaluate correctly 
in a boolean context.  For that, you should use 1 and 0 for your values.  

What I usually do is this:


 />

Then when it gets submitted, foo will get the value of the form element that 
was submitted last that has a value.  That is, if the checkbox is checked 
then foo will be 1, otherwise it will be 0.  That gives you a nice, clean 
boolean value you can rely on being present (mostly ).

I had the same problem last week.

Turned out there was another 'config.php' in the include_path (in my case
the pear folder).

Can you rename the config.php file and things work?

If so, then look in your include_path and see if there is a config.php file
there as well.

Re: [PHP] checkbox unchecked

[Steve Edberg]

Just to add my two cents -

I don't think it matters much what tokens you use to represent true 
or false, since you're going to be explicitly checking them on the 
server end anyway. I can't see much difference in principle between, 
for example:


if ($_GET['foo'] == 'y')...
and
if ($_GET['foo'] == '1')...
or even
if ($_GET['foo'] == 'Oui')...

One should really not do be doing just

if ($_GET['foo'])

anyway. Checking that a specific value is passed, rather than just 
some value that PHP evaluates to true or false, is one way to catch 
possible form hacking. For general reference, there are a number of 
php security howtos out there on how to sanitize user input, but I'll 
leave finding them as an 'excercize for the reader' at the moment. I 
suppose using 0/1 does have the advantage of 'doing the right thing' 
if a "if ($_GET['foo'])" creeps into your code, though. As would 
using 'Y'/''.


That being said, I've used 0/1 along with y/n in the past; it depends 
on whether I'm thinking like a programmer or a human ;)

No, you're not reading what I wrote. I said MY general rule is to

I didn't single it out, it just happened to be at the top of the pile at

Exactly how big a deal did I make out of this one? I simply said "ask on a

Looks for me a bit like a philosophical question, but maybe you have

something like: up to 125 lines of code you get an adequate performance with
simply parsing it every time, with more than 125 lines you would get a
better performance with using separate files - just kidding, surely the
number of lines in this case is 42 ;-).

Looking forward to your answers

Thomas:

I seldom find that performance is adversely affected by good 
structure. So, I strive for good structure.


To me, good structure starts at the function level. Like the lattice 
of a crystal, coding grows and reflects the most basic element. Keep 
that element consistent and you'll find that it will be reflected in 
everything you do.


How's that for philosophical?

[PHP] 5.2.5 failed 7 tests

[Bill]

Do failed tests mean I absolutely should NOT install. Or is it normal to 
have a few fails? Try two different versions, all have some failure.

I do, that's why I'm on the list.

AFAIK no list has the clause "once you have made X number of posts feel 
free to do what you want".

That's "world renowned", if you please. :-)

But just to set the record straight, binary had been invented long 
before I came along. The programmers before then had to program in 
just rocks (1's). It wasn't until much later that the absent of rock 
was invented (0's).


Now, you may not think that one can do anything programming with just 
rocks, but that's the way the pyramids were built. Those old 
programmers were an accomplished lot.


As for me, with my vast experience, I think that "list etiquette" on 
an unmoderated list is what we make it. If you want to correct people 
as to "list etiquette", it's probably best for you to join a list 
with people who care what you think. Unfortunately, I think you'll 
probably have difficulty with that as well.


It's unfortunate that you can't take your talents and help someone 
instead of being so critical. To me, it would be a pretty sad life if 
I had nothing positive to say.

My product/service is currently only a US/domestic one. 

When the day comes that we need to make it international, we'll have a lot more 
to worry about than simple phone number display. There will be "gettext()" 
involved and .po/.mo files and all that other hassle (I know, I've done it 
before with other companies). Also date formats will change from m/d/y to y-m-d 
too. 

So I would counter and say, a good site designer, designs for their target 
audience... ;-)

RE: [PHP] including parenthesis, space and dashes in a phone number

[Daevid Vincent]

I should have been more clear. I do *store* the numbers sans punctuation, but 
that's trivial to accomplish as we've seen. I do like to display it however 
with the nice parens and hyphens. Hence "opposite". :)

Welcome to the world of f floating point numbers. Discrete mathematics,
leave all hope, ye that enter.

It's the way floating point number behave (a computational error that's more
problematic that one may suspect). You'll have to live with it, or use an
extension for arbitrary sized numbers (or fixed point numbers).

Why we have to accept this kind of behavior?

Long story short: they are excellent for computations required in 3d
graphics, they are lousy for business applications...
...and we all know that computers are for playing 3d games, don't we?

XD

Sorry about the noise.

Oh yes, it's very much like fractals, but the term "fractalism" is 
usually reserved for art forms based on fractals.


However, one could conclude that all crystalline forms are a 
"real-world" examples of fractals. In similar vein, all repetitive 
processes (including programming) could be though of as a fractal 
dependant functions. Interesting food for thought, which also could 
be fractal dependant. :-)

[PHP] Issue with STRFTIME and Daylight Savings

[Malcolm Green]

Hi Support:

I've moved into a new role and inherited a system which uses the 'STRFTIME'
function to create a filename in the form 'strftime("%Y%m%d")'; the
filename is supposed to be "today's date". (Note I've left out the file
extension for clarity.)

I've noticed that system creates the wrong filename when the process runs
between midnight and 12:59am, during Daylight Savings time. That is, it
creates a filename equal to "yesterday's date". When run at 1:00am or
later, everything OK.

I've checked the Date/Time and 'Locale' settings in Windows, and everything
is ok. My initial thought was that STRFTIME was looking a the system clock
rather than Windows (?).

Can you help?

(PS ... please be gentle, I'm a novice at PHP!)


Thanks & Regards,
Malcolm.
