I didn't find CodeIgniter difficult to learn - a few hours of reading
and a few hours of playing. I was comfortable within one evening.

The license for CodeIgniter is pretty simple. Since it's unlikely you'll
ever need to mess with the framework itself - you can override any
object - I don't see it's modification clause really coming into play.

Re: [PHP] Back to Basics - Why Use Single Quotes?

2008-07-31 Thread Richard Heyes 
Single quotes do still recognise \' and \\ though, for getting a
single quote and backslash. IIRC (which isn't likely) they're the only
two.

Because sometimes it is nice to do this:

$onclick = ' onclick="..."'

Not having to escape my single tick makes it more readable.

Is the directory you're moving to writable by your web server?  If you
don't know, try making a separate script that tries

I too like CakePHP.  I have coded in PHP for quite a while and 
understand OOP and OOP in PHP, however I don't really have any 
experience building sites or apps from scratch using OOP/MVC.


Cake or a framework makes it much quicker and easier. For those that 
need total freedom to do things the way they want but need some 
pre-built functionality to make it quicker, Zend seems to be the 
choice.  I consider Zend to be more of a class library like PEAR only 
more consistant.  For me, I had no habits/best practices or preferred 
way when I started with OOP/MVC so Cake was great.  It has a certain 
structure and uses certain conventions and code generation which 
makes it very quick and easy.  The main drawback is the docs.

Raido wrote:

Hi,

There are many sites explaining how to build new site etc but I'd like
to hear what You suggest. (about how to plan whole thing and how to
write separate parts which can be put together later)

I have build many small sites for myself(site to organise class
assembly which is like yearly convention..it has user administration
etc) but they all are anything else than OOP. But now, I need to help
with creating one bigger site which should be OOP. That site should
include user management(each user has it's own profile), each user can
post job and other adds in different categories. (there will be many
categories for example 'work,cars,training,apartments'.)
And users profile should show ads posted by himself.
Logic itself is simple:
1) unregistered user:
a) I go to site, I see categories (work offers, apartment offers,
training offers, etc)
b) I click on category I'm interested in
c) I see ad that I'm interested in
d) I click on it
c) I see detailed information about it(which company posted it 
etc)

d) at bottom page I see form where I can contact with ad author
2) registered user
a) I go to site
b) I log in, my profile page opens
c) there I can see ads posted by me..also I can see how many times
ad is viewed etc
d) i click on link 'Post new ad'
e) there i choose category and probably Ajax helps to load
specific fields(for example if I choose 'Cars' as category, then
fields like  'year,transmission,color, etc' will appear.

That is short summary what that site should do. It seems quite big for
me so I'd be happy to hear any guidelines from people who have built
big sites.

Creating forms, posting data, user login etc, these things are not
problem... problem is: how to build the whole thing aimed to OOP and
use with Smarty to keep things organized.

I'm not sure but I have idea about what things I should do first:

1) think and write down any function that needs to be done(for example
different validations, functions for showing/posting form etc)
2) plan and create database?
3) create database class which handles database connection
But what next? Or am I starting all wrong?

Big thanks in advance,

Hello,
I'm using some php-classes which worked fine with php-5.0.4. Now I

error_reporting(E_ALL);
I see messages like

In inc.template.php there are a lot of calls like $this->$key. In  
inc.init.php there are calls like $session->cust_id.


to fix these errors, you would need to modify the code so it does  
something like this.


where it calls $this->$key you need to check and make sure that $key  
exists before you trying call for it.


So something like this would work.

if ( isset( $this->$key ) ) {
$this->$key;
} else {
$this->$key = null;
}

You didn't show any context in which you are using the above code.  
So I don't know what will actually work in your situation.  Show a  
little more code that includes the method in which $this->$key is  
called.


You will want to look at using the Overloading feature of PHP5.   
Check out this page for overloading examples


http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php

Take note of the __get() and __set() methods.  The __get method  
checks to see if the key exists before it tries working with it.


Ok, I'm trying to understand the point to using these overloading  
methods.


hi = 'Hi';
$obj->bye = 'Bye';

echo $obj->hi, ' ', $obj->bye;
// Output: Hi Bye
?>

You could have done that or you could do the following.

setHi('Hello');
$obj->setBye('Bye Bye!');

echo $obj->hi(), ' ', $obj->bye();
// Output: Hello Bye Bye!
?>

The 2nd way seems more *OOP* than the first - weird to explain. I  
guess what I'm wanting to know is why would you use overloading  
(in PHP)? The only reason I can think of is to avoid having to create/ 
use accessors. Please help me understand! But please be nice! =D


Thanks,
~Philip

[PHP] strange string evaluation

2008-07-31 Thread Marten Lehmann 

Hello,

with PHP 5.0.x this two lines of code returned "{TEST}":

$var = "TEST";
print "\{$var}";

But with PHP 5.2.x, the same code returns "\{TEST}"

If I remove the backslash:

$var = "TEST";
print "{$var}";

then just "TEST" is return (without any brackets).

What is the recommended way for PHP 5.2.x to work with that? It looks a 
bid odd if I have to write


print "{". $var. "}";

instead.

If you use the short method, it redirects properly.  Putting him

[PHP] Dynamic Select Lists - 1st Selection Effects 2nd!

2008-07-31 Thread Rahul S. Johari 

Ave,

What I have is two Select (Drop-Down) lists (State & County) and I'm  
populating them from a mySQL table. What I want is when the user  
selects the State from the State List, the County List should only  
pull out counties associated with that State.


Now I know that you can create such an effect using Javascript or AJAX  
and have nothing to do with PHP/mySQL - and I was able to accomplish  
that - but only for lists where you could define data manually. I'm  
not able to accomplish this at all with Lists that are pulling out  
option data from a mySQL table.


I'm also giving the User the opportunity to add as many State/County  
combinations as possible in a box.

'tis my code:

  
  
State: 

  
  $row_D_STATE['STATE']?>

   0) {
  mysql_data_seek($D_STATE, 0);
  $row_D_STATE = 
mysql_fetch_assoc($D_STATE);
}
  ?>


  
  
County: 


All
  
  $row_D_COUNTY['COUNTY']?>

   0) {
  mysql_data_seek($D_COUNTY, 0);
  $row_D_COUNTY = 
mysql_fetch_assoc($D_COUNTY);
  }
?>
 onClick="document.AD_INVENTORY_FORM.d_state_county.value 
+=document.AD_INVENTORY_FORM.d_state.value 
+'/'+document.AD_INVENTORY_FORM.d_county.value+'\n';">


  
  
COLS="26" ROWS="3">

  
  

I'm not able to understand exactly how to manipulate the SQL Query or  
otherwise force the 2nd Select List to only show records that match  
the selected State.


Any pointers?

If it is passing the if(is_uploaded_file()) condition, echo out

The page referenced by an AJAX XmlHttpRequest() doesn't have to be
static. You can even use the query string to supply the AJAX call with
parameters (or perhaps post a form instead). This way, you can pass the
chosen state to the AJAX-requested page and use PHP on the other end to
construct the appropriate counties selection list. AJAX could then push
this result into a DIV that had, up until now, contained an empty
selection list with no available options.

Summary: Page has two DIVs: one for state list, one for county list
(which is empty). User clicks first DIV's selection box, onChange JS
method fires AJAX call to getCounties.php?state=XX (where XX is the
chosen state). PHP on the other end builds a selection list for the
given state and returns it to the AJAX call. The AJAX result is then
assigned to the second div, which now contains the list of counties for
the given state.

to fix these errors, you would need to modify the code so it does

where it calls $this->$key you need to check and make sure that $key
exists before you trying call for it.

So something like this would work.

if ( isset( $this->$key ) ) {
   $this->$key;

   $this->$key = null;
}

You didn't show any context in which you are using the above code.  
So

I don't know what will actually work in your situation.  Show a
little more code that includes the method in which $this->$key is
called.

You will want to look at using the Overloading feature of PHP5.
Check out this page for overloading examples

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php

Take note of the __get() and __set() methods.  The __get method
checks to see if the key exists before it tries working with it.


Ok, I'm trying to understand the point to using these overloading
methods.

hi = 'Hi';
$obj->bye = 'Bye';

echo $obj->hi, ' ', $obj->bye;

You could have done that or you could do the following.

setHi('Hello');
$obj->setBye('Bye Bye!');

echo $obj->hi(), ' ', $obj->bye();
// Output: Hello Bye Bye!

Subject: [PHP] Dynamic Select Lists - 1st Selection Effects 2nd!

Ave,

What I have is two Select (Drop-Down) lists (State & County) and I'm
populating them from a mySQL table. What I want is when the user
selects the State from the State List, the County List should only
pull out counties associated with that State.

Now I know that you can create such an effect using Javascript or  
AJAX

and have nothing to do with PHP/mySQL - and I was able to accomplish
that - but only for lists where you could define data manually. I'm
not able to accomplish this at all with Lists that are pulling out
option data from a mySQL table.

I'm also giving the User the opportunity to add as many State/County
combinations as possible in a box.
'tis my code:

  

  
State: 

NAME="d_state">

  
  
  
mysql_num_rows($D_STATE);

  if($rows > 0) {


mysql_data_seek($D_STATE, 0);

  $row_D_STATE =
mysql_fetch_assoc($D_STATE);
}
  ?>


  
  
County: 



SELECTED>All

  
  
  
mysql_num_rows($D_COUNTY);

  if($rows > 0) {


mysql_data_seek($D_COUNTY, 0);

  $row_D_COUNTY =
mysql_fetch_assoc($D_COUNTY);
  }
?>
 
TYPE="button"

VALUE="[+] Add"
onClick="document.AD_INVENTORY_FORM.d_state_county.value
+=document.AD_INVENTORY_FORM.d_state.value
+'/'+document.AD_INVENTORY_FORM.d_county.value+'\n';">

  
  

COLSPAN="2">
NAME="d_state_county"
COLS="26" ROWS="3">
  
  


I'm not able to understand exactly how to manipulate the SQL Query or
otherwise force the 2nd Select List to only show records that match
the selected State.

Any pointers?


The page referenced by an AJAX XmlHttpRequest() doesn't have to be

In theory your solution sounds extremely feasible & perhaps the  
appropriate procedure. My problem is that I'm not an expert at all in  
AJAX (Or javascript for that matter). The manually-fed examples I  
worked with were freely available sources for such a functional Select  
List, and I tried manipulating them to fit in my php/mySQL code but to  
no avail.


I'll try & work this out, but I doubt I'll be able to.

Thanks.

I think I would use limit 100 in the query but how would I tell it to

There's no need to limit the DB query, nor to track what's been sent by 
updating the DB. Grab all of the addresses at once and let SwiftMailer 
deal with the throttling:


require('Swift/lib/Swift.php');
require('Swift/lib/Swift/Connection/SMTP.php');

/* this handles the throttling
 */
require('Swift/lib/Swift/Plugin/AntiFlood.php');


/* this holds all of your addresses
 */
$recipients = new Swift_RecipientList();


/* Grab the addresses from the DB (this is using MDB2)
 */
$result = ...

while ($row = $result->fetchRow())
{
$recipients->addTo($row['address'], $row['name']);
}
@$result->free();

try
{
$swift = new Swift(new Swift_Connection_SMTP('localhost'), 
'your_domain');

set_time_limit(0);
$swift->log->enable();

/* 100 mails per batch with a 60 second pause between batches
 */
$swift->attachPlugin(new Swift_Plugin_AntiFlood(100, 60), 'anti-flood');

flush();

$message = new Swift_Message('your subject');

$message->setCharset('utf-8');
$message->setReplyTo(...);
$message->setReturnPath(...);
$message->headers->set('Errors-To', ...);

$message->attach(new Swift_Message_Part($plain_content));
$message->attach(new Swift_Message_Part($html_content, 'text/html'));

	$num_sent = $swift->batchSend($message, $recipients, new 
Swift_Address(..., '...'));


$swift->disconnect();

...


This is a rough example taken from my own script. This would need to be 
modified if you're not sending the same message to all recipients, of 
course. It's not clear to me from your example.

Yeah, I understand but what I mean is that, the language in
which you usually browse php.net will be the default language when you
use the short URL.  For example, go to http://php.net/copy and change
the language to German (or any other language) and then close the
window.  Then go to http://php.net/eregi.

Unless you specifically define which language to use, the site
will use either a past preference or the language sent in the headers
by the browser.

Either way, though, it was thoughtful of you to point out the
translated page.  I told Richard Heyes he was wrong about you.  ;-P

Rahul,

Aww, come now... don't be so negative! :) Most widely-adopted
programming practices are widely-adopted for a reason: they are not
inherently difficult to use. This does, of course, get obfuscated by
various extensions and poor programming techniques end-users employ, but
I digress.

http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/ should get you started, but here's a
simple implementation:

selection.html:

function ajaxCounties()
{
var xmlHttp;
var stateList = document.getElementById("stateList");

try {

Re: [PHP] accessing variables within objects

2008-07-31 Thread Micah Gersten 
Sorry about that, I forgot you got that link already.

Here's an answer for you:
I use overloading to dynamically call a function in another object if
the current object does not have it.  It helps because PHP does not
support multiple inheritance.

Thank you,

Hello,
I'm using some php-classes which worked fine with php-5.0.4. Now I 
tried to upgrade to php-5.2.6, but the classes give a lot of errors. 
If I set

error_reporting(E_ALL);
I see messages like
Notice: Undefined property: FastTemplate::$main in 
/whereever/inc.template.php on line 293
Notice: Undefined property: current_session::$cust_id in 
/whereever/inc.init.php on line 117
In inc.template.php there are a lot of calls like $this->$key. In 
inc.init.php there are calls like $session->cust_id.


to fix these errors, you would need to modify the code so it does 
something like this.


where it calls $this->$key you need to check and make sure that $key 
exists before you trying call for it.


So something like this would work.

if ( isset( $this->$key ) ) {
$this->$key;
} else {
$this->$key = null;
}

You didn't show any context in which you are using the above code. So 
I don't know what will actually work in your situation.  Show a little 
more code that includes the method in which $this->$key is called.


You will want to look at using the Overloading feature of PHP5.  Check 
out this page for overloading examples


http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php

Take note of the __get() and __set() methods.  The __get method checks 
to see if the key exists before it tries working with it.


Ok, I'm trying to understand the point to using these overloading methods.

hi = 'Hi';
$obj->bye = 'Bye';

echo $obj->hi, ' ', $obj->bye;
// Output: Hi Bye
?>


I was only suggesting the overloading because it would be the simplest thing 
to implement in an existing class without massively re-write parts of your 
application.


You could simply add the __get() method and then have it check to see if the 
value or $key existed before it tries using it.  And if it doesn't exist, then 
return null or something else.  This would get rid of a lot of your NOTICEs 
from PHP.


I would add a method something like the following to your class and it should 
fix the problems with trying to access properties that do not exist.


function __get($key) {
// Check for the existence of the key in object
if ( isset( $this->$key ) {
// If found, return value
return $this->$key;
}
// Default: return null
return null;
}




You could have done that or you could do the following.

setHi('Hello');
$obj->setBye('Bye Bye!');

echo $obj->hi(), ' ', $obj->bye();
// Output: Hello Bye Bye!
?>


This example is flawed by the fact that you are call hi and bye as a method 
instead of referencing the property.




The 2nd way seems more *OOP* than the first - weird to explain. I guess 
what I'm wanting to know is why would you use overloading (in PHP)? 
The only reason I can think of is to avoid having to create/use 
accessors. Please help me understand! But please be nice! =D


Thanks,
~Philip


What has changed in php-5.2.x so that these calls don't work any 
more? What is the new, required form to use objects in a similar 
manner (unfortunately I have no ressources to code these classes from 
scratch)? Thanks.

Kind regards
Marten

Maybe you should try this library.  It comes with examples and is fairly
easy to implement.

What I usually do is default to the most common country and show the
associated states.
You can change the states if they change the country.

Re: [PHP] Dynamic Select Lists - 1st Selection Effects 2nd! -- SOLVED!!

2008-07-31 Thread Rahul S. Johari 


Did IT Haha ... just as you were probably writing in & sending  
this mail.
I pretty much used your theory and actually did look around under http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/ 
 to get the relevant AJAX information. Works like a charm.


Pretty much using an onChange=grabCountiesfromAnotherPHPpage();  
function. Code is similar to your example below - slightly different.  
An included 'ajax.js' takes care of the AJAX code, and an additional  
'counties.php' writes counties based on a "SELECT COUNTY from myTable  
WHERE STATE = $_GET['STATE']" SQL Query in an independent SELECT LIST.  
AJAX takes care of the rest by pulling in this SELECT LIST on to the  
original page.


Thanks a ton - this actually turned out to be easier then I thought!!
