[PHP] shared memory access - shmod_open
Dear List, I have a problem working with shmop_open() in a Solaris environment. The following cli-script works fine, except shmod_open returns a warning 'unable to attach or create shared memory segment': I checked the $sem_key with the Solaris ipcs command. The file exists and the read/write rights are correct. I tried explictly to call shmop_open with the right key - the error message remains the same. Checking out different access mode like "r" does not succeed too. In the Xdebug output, php changes the value 0644 to 420, i.e. shmop_open(1258300033, 'w', 420, 1). Of course, I compiled php with --enable-shmop. Does anyone has an idea what I might also check? Thanks in advance, Rolf_ -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/shared-memory-access---shmod_open-tf4954760.html#a14188465 Sent from the PHP - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Calendar
On Dec 5, 2007 6:09 AM, Richard Heyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: There is not much "simple" about a calendar, especially when you start dealing with recurring events. How far into the future your calendar allow events to recur will depend at least in part on how you intend to store them. For instance, you can store them in a database where you create a separate event row for each occurrence (though still be linked by a common ID as you said), but you'll probably set your limits based on storage to prevent adding a daily event for the next 10 years. Stipulating an event to be daily could be as simple as a 0 or 1 flag. So where's the storage concern? The storage concern comes if you opt to store one copy of the event for every day for as long as the event recurs. Why? Perhaps you want to provide the ability to alter the time of a specific instance of a recurring event (or delete one instance altogether) without changing the other instances. So you could have a table which contains events, and a table which contains exceptions. Simple and minimal storage requirements. Since exceptions will be, as their name suggests, exceptional, storage requirements will be small. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and HelpDesk software that can cut the cost of online support ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] zip codes and lat/longs
After reading this I decided to figure out what the issue was.
It was the MySQL result set. Somehow the columns changed and messed up
the float values. So I just whipped this up quick to reload the data
(and possibly update it too)
Here's the quick-and-dirty:
1) download ZCTA (the text version) from
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/places2k.html
2) run this
db_query("TRUNCATE TABLE data_zips");
$fp = fopen('zcta5.txt', 'r');
while(!feof($fp)) {
$line = fgets($fp, 2048);
$line = chop($line);
$zip = substr($line, 2, 5);
$lat = substr($line, 137, 9);
$long = substr($line, 146, 12);
db_query("INSERT INTO data_zips(zip, latitude, longitude)
VALUES('$zip', '$lat', '$long')");
}
fclose($fp);
schema:
CREATE TABLE `data_zips` (
`zip` mediumint(5) unsigned zerofill NOT NULL default '0',
`latitude` float(9,6) NOT NULL default '0.00',
`longitude` float(9,6) NOT NULL default '0.00',
PRIMARY KEY (`zip`),
KEY `latitude` (`latitude`),
KEY `longitude` (`longitude`));
I believe now you have everything you need :)

RE: [PHP] zip codes and lat/longs
[snip]
I'm entertaining how to determine what zip codes fall within a 50
mile radius of another zip code.
Anyone done this before?
Also, does anyone have any sources for zip codes and lat/long databases?
TIA for any help/suggestions.
[/snip]
Here is a code snip that I use to determine things within a certain
radius (5 miles) of a zip code;
/* calcs for distance */
function distance($lat1, $lon1, $lat2, $lon2) {
$theta = $lon1 - $lon2;
$dist = sin(deg2rad($lat1)) * sin(deg2rad($lat2)) +
cos(deg2rad($lat1)) * cos(deg2rad($lat2)) * cos(deg2rad($theta));
$dist = acos($dist);
$dist = rad2deg($dist);
$miles = $dist * 60 * 1.1515;

Re: [PHP] zip codes and lat/longs
You can use the formula to figure out how many zip codes are within the radius
Here's a snippet of old code that did that:
$radius = 50; // in miles
$uchk = db_query("SELECT uz.zip FROM user_zip WHERE uid=$visitor[uid]");
if(db_numrows($uchk) == 1) {
list($vz) = db_rows($uchk);
$zchk = db_query("SELECT latitude,longitude
FROM z_data_zips WHERE zip=$vz");
list($vlat,$vlong) = db_rows($zchk);
db_free($zchk);
$zips = db_query("SELECT z.zip FROM data_zips
z WHERE CEIL(69*DEGREES(ACOS(SIN(RADIANS(z.latitude)) *
SIN(RADIANS($vlat)) + COS(RADIANS(z.latitude)) * COS(RADIANS($vlat)) *
COS(RADIANS(z.longitude - $vlong) < $radius");
$ziplist = "";
if(db_numrows($zips) > 0) {
while(list($zip) = db_rows($zips)) {
$ziplist .= "'$zip',";
}
db_free($zips);
$ziplist =
substr($ziplist,0,strlen($ziplist)-1);
$query .= " user_zips IN($ziplist)";
}
}
db_free($uchk);

Perhaps the 0644 needs to be expressed in some other way?
I know it works fine that way for chmod and friends, so I wouldn't
expect it, but...
Or maybe 420 *IS* the right value, and you're on a red herring.
Try Googling for the error message and Solaris if you haven't done
that yet.

EVERY HTTP request is completely independent of the previous/following

If you want to accumulate data from $_POST, start a session
http://php.net/session_start and cram the data you need to keep into

If you are making things this complicated, you will probably regret it
someday...
That said, I think if you just did:
foo('var');
and changed the 'a' in foo/bar to $a
then you would get what you want...
It won't be a reference nor a pointer, but just a global variable,
disguised by using $GLOBALS instead of:
global $var;
as you should do for clarity.
YMMV

Re: [PHP] calculate a varchar
I won't say you CAN'T do it (you can with eval) but you'd be WAY better off to use some kind of exchange rate field that you can change frequently instead of cramming formulas into the field. "If eval is the answer, you are probably doing something wrong." You may also want to store everything as cents (or pence) and only insert the decimal on display to avoid rounding errors.

What is the best practice for doing this?
I don't know what the "best" practice is, but this is the way I do it.
In the form I have a hidden field called step that controls flow via POST..
Based upon that value, I use a switch to direct the flow to different
forms -- all the forms have the same submit button.
So, it looks like this (pseudo-code):
$step = isset($_POST['step']) ? $_POST['step'] : 1;
switch $step
{
case 1:
// present the form for step 1
case 2:
// present the form for step 2
case 3:
// present the form for step 3
}
That way, it's simple to recursively change a form to gather information.
If you want to keep/store data in each gather, then either save it to
a dB or do sessions.
It works for me.

tedd

You tried it before you ask, yes? It should be straight forward then, look at the clock. See, the time there is quite individual, I got friends, with NO knowledge of php or LAMP at ALL, they DO know how to setup phpbb, I've never done it, but I know (this have the potential to start a nice flamewar... the _knowing_ part I mean) php and LAMP.

The only way I've seen to do this is to first execute the query
DESCRIBE `my_table` and then examine the value of the `Type` column
that is returned for the row that represents the column you are
examining in your regular query. You just have to strip the 'ENUM('
and ')' from the beginning and end and then split the remaining
string.

[PHP] Seeking overlap algorithm
Hi gang: This post is related to the zip lat/long request I recently made and received such an overwhelming response -- many thanks to all. In any event, let's say we have a end-user who is looking for services within his zip-code AND we have a dB of service providers who are willing to render service within a set distance (like 50 miles) from their location. Now, it's a simple matter to convert the user's zip code to lat/longs and then find out how many service providers there are within their area and then show that list to the end-user. That's not the problem. The problem is, could you guarantee to a "preferred" service provider that they would receive top-listing 25 percent of the time? Keep in mind that preferred service providers will overlap. So, the question is how to accommodate for that overlap? If anyone has an algorithm, I would be interested in hearing it.

[PHP] PHP Memory Leak
Hi Everybody,
I have a couple of foreach loops which are ending in a for loop,
which causes the apache to consume the complete memory of the
server system the php engine is running on.
The nesting level is at round about three and looking like that:
$num_new = 4;
if (is_array($array)) {
foreach ($array as $key => value) {
if ($value['element'] == 'test1') {
foreach ($value['data'] as $skey => $svalue) {
echo $svalue;
}
} elseif ($value['element'] == 'test2') {
foreach ($value['data'] as $skey => $svalue) {
echo $svalue;
}
}
if ($num_new > 0) {
// this part causes the memory leak
for ($i = 0; $i < $num_new; $i++) {
echo "sgasdgga";
}
}
}
}
I dont know if the above code is causing the memory leak the source
is a little more complex, if nessessary I will provide some more code,
Thank you!
I hope for a solution

Not to critique your form logic itself, but IMHE it is much better to
name the submit button "continue" and not "submit". Some browsers, maybe
all (I can't remember), screw things up when you try to do form.submit()
in JavaScript if there is a field called submit.

Rob.

Yes, that was pretty easy, but that was not the answer to the question -- my error for not explaining it better. Let me rephrase the question by providing an example. Let's say we have a customer base that is spread-out at random over a geographic area. Each customer has designated a 50 mile radius from their location as being within their zone -- the map would look like a bomb saturation map, if you know what I mean. Now, many of those areas overlap so that if a end-user is within that overlap he can see all the service providers that can provide service. It's a simple matter to pull those providers out of a database depending upon distance and show them to him. After all, that's the way it works, isn't it? The end-user is provided all the service providers who are within their service range. However, if you are also considering that some of these service providers should be shown as "preferred" (i.e., at the top 25 percent of the time) then you might find yourself in a position of over selling the top position because there may be too many "preferred" service providers in certain areas. Now, what I need is a way to analyze the distribution of the current service providers to see if a given location is open to being sold as a "preferred" position -- do you see what I mean? Another example, let's say we have four "preferred" service providers at the same location. Obviously, we could not sell another "preferred" position within 100 miles. Another example, let's say we have four "preferred" service providers 100 miles apart, clearly we can sell more "preferred" positions. But, the number of positions available depends upon the distribution of the original four. If they were located in a straight line, then we could sell two positions between each one. But, if they were distributed in a square, we could only sell one. Do you see? I know what solution I will be using unless someone comes up with something different. I just want to tap this knowledgeable group before I spin my wheels trying to solve a problem, that may be already solved. Thanks, for your time.

Re: [PHP] How to handle rows of checkboxes upon form submit?
You will be passing the checkboxes as arrays ... So you will need to access them that way on the next page Your post field would look something like (off the top of my head, so don't quote me): Array ( [selected_fid] => [0] => apples [1] => oranges [2] => bananas ) This assumes that the user selected all the results. If for instances they did not (say they checked apples and bananas), then your post array would look like : Array ( [selected_fid] => [0] => apples [1] => bananas ) The array will automatically increment starting at zero. However, you can prefill the array with specific information, in case you need to know which boxes where checked and which were not... There is no reason to do this with hardcode values, but if you were accessing information from a database, and dynamically creating a series of checkboxes, then it would be more useful to preload the array with the id from the database rather then let it auto increment. Hope you find this useful.

[PHP] How to handle rows of checkboxes upon form submit?
Let's say I have a PHP script which lists a series of objects for sale at a yard sale, each with a checkbox to the left of the name of the item. If I wanted to have a submit button, and run through the list of items that were checked and act on them, how would I do that? To gain some knowledge, I went into phpMyAdmin and looked at their checkboxes, and I see their code: So it looks like they do something with name="select_fld[]", which must be part of the secret to making this work. Any advice is greatly appreciated. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
