[PHP] headers: setting right for browser to force reload at a certain point in time

[German Geek]

Hi All,

We have an application that generates dynamic ebooks. One of the (minor)
problems (but yet annoying) is that when a user comes back to an ebook, they
have to actually delete the cache and reload the page to not get the cached
version which might be wrong because the content or even the flash
application is updated.

It would be neat if we could force a reload of the page, but only with a
special condition like the ebook being updated or the swf. The swf and also
the other resources are not reloaded though, because it is a get request.

Is there a way to force a reload of the browser by maybe changing the
headers? Or do we have to do some fancy stuff like storing a cookie with the
time and sending it back via ajax or something like that?

Just setting the header would be nice...

Maybe the easiest would be to change the link (add a number or something) of
the html page and have a rewrite for all the relative urls as well.

Regards,
Tim

Yes, and it would be better for you to have an in depth look into the open
source projects found. Get to analyse them. So, you'll get familiarized with
the advanced well known methods. Learning from them you will be able to
create something better and not reinventing the wheels.

Deleting the cache should not be necessary, a reload should be enough.
(it certainly is with Firefox).

The request type has nothing to do with it - the browser will do a
conditional GET if the local copy is expired.  Just set the right
expiry time on your files when you serve them, then they will
automatically be checked by the browser.

Yes, that's what i thought, but with my FF 3.0 the resources (swf,png,jpg)
don't get reloaded. I have to reload the page (after deleting cache).

Something to do with the Apache configuration?

Hi Tim,

Try loading up just a single file in FF - one of your graphics for
instance - then hit Ctrl-i to get the info page. That will tell you
exactly how FF sees the file - expiry time etc.

[PHP] optimizing space for array of booleans

[leledumbo]

Some languages allows to bit-pack structures to save spaces. Since PHP
doesn't have native set data type and operations, will array of booleans be
optimized as such? If not, how can I achieve the same result? I need to save
about 200 boolean values and I guess it's a good idea to use bitsets.

Requirements:
- Easy to use (set, unset, test), so C way to use bitwise operations is
simply rejected.
  I need something like Pascal's set.
- Small space (bit level if possible)

Hi Per,

Thanks. But:

This didn't work. ctrl+i brought up my bookmarks. ?? Do i need a special
plugin/extension? Have web developer etc.

I have Firebug but in the net tab the cached resources don't show up when
reloading the page, i guess because they are not reloaded...

So, i can't think of a way how to see that information when it is in cache.

I had followed some examples on the web talking about the e-tag header which
changes the checksum when the file changes, also i remember setting the
expiry to yesterday and things like that... However it all didn't work.

Anyway, i might just force a reload by changing the links every time
dynamically, although it seems a bit overkill :-S.

Nope, this is standard FF.  Ctrl+i should give you the "Page Info"
window.  Try looking for that in your menubar and pulldowns.

Re: [PHP] redirecting output for a spawned child process..

[Alpár Török]

You can use a PHP workarround. Install a custom ob_handler, that has a
static file descriptor, and writes all output to the file. In order to also
see everything, you need to also activate implicit flush. i know that there
would be lots of elegant ways to do this on linux in C, but AFAIK php
doesn't ofer anything like that.

here's some code (untested)

[PHP] ms-word reading from PHP on linux O.S

[Srinivasa Rao D]

Hi all,
  * How better, i can  read ms-word doc files  from PHP on LINUX OS*.On
searching I got *catdoc* softaware.By using this i can read word doc data as
a text.

function catdoc_file($fname)
{

$ret = exec('catdoc -ab '.escapeshellarg($fname) .' 2>&1');

if (preg_match('/^sh: line 1: catdoc/i',$ret)) {
return false;
}

return trim($ret);
}
It is working well.

  *Is there are any other softwares that can fetch text from MS-WORD file?.*

It would be helpful to have a little more context. What do you want to
do with the text you read this way?

When I run across a MS-Word document, my browser is configured to
download it to disk. Then I open it with OpenOffice.write and extract
what I need.

hi,

you should not worry about optimizing boolean values unless you would
store them in database.
anyways, use bitwise operators http://ph.php.net/language.operators.bitwise

[PHP] multiple choice dropdown box puzzle

[PJ]

I think this is a tough one... and way above my head:
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE ABOVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO.
Having a bit of a rough time figuring out how to formulate php-mysql to insert 
data into fields using a multiple dropdown box in a form.

to post I am using the following:
snip...
$categoriesIN   = $_POST["categoriesIN"];

...snip...


Choose Categories...
1
2
3
4
5
 

...snip...

$sql4 = "FOR ( $ii = 0 ; $ii < count($categoriesIN) ; $ii++ )
INSERT INTO temp (example) $categoriesIN[$ii]" ;

$result4 = mysql_query($sql4, $db); 
...snip

this does not work! The other posts work like a charm... but this...

I cannot figure out what I should be entering where... I have tried several 
different configurations, but nothing seems to work...

I found this as a model for entering the selections but can't figure out how to 
modify it for my needs:


 Choose your location(s) 
3100
3105
 3503
 3504


What I would like to do is something like the following:

Choose Categories...
History
Temples
Pharaohs and Queens
Cleopatra
Mummies

and going further, I would like to be able to use a table that actually holds 
these values to feed them to the code above. I am sure this is possible but it 
must take some huge knowledge and experience to do it.

BUT ...
as I look at things, I am wondering if the FOR statement in the above should be 
used to do several INSERTs, that is, one $sql(number) per selected category... 
now, would that require many $sqls or many INSERTs within the $sql ?

You are confusing the PHP and MySQL.



MySQL also has an alternative syntax that you can use to do this in a
single statement:

 0) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO temp (example) VALUES ";
for ($ii = 0; $ii < $count; ++$ii) {
if ($ii > 0) $sql .= ', ';
$sql .=  "('" . mysql_real_escape_string($categoriesIN[$ii]) . "')";
}
}

$result = mysql_query($sql, $db);

?>

first, I think, $categoriesIN is string, but in the form you made it  as 
an array $categoriesIN[]. I think you have to "modify it a little bit, 
something like {$categoriesIN}.'[]'


second, I think the php part "FOR ( $ii = 0 ; $ii < count($categoriesIN) 
; $ii++ )" can't be part of the mysql statement, it should be "outside" 
the statement


FOR ( $ii = 0 ; $ii < count($categoriesIN) ; $ii++ )
{
$sql4 = "INSERT INTO temp (example) $categoriesIN[$ii]" ;   
  
$result4 = mysql_query($sql4, $db); 
}

I wrote this routine a few months ago.

$filename = './lflf.doc';
if ( file_exists($filename) ) {

if ( ($fh = fopen($filename, 'r')) !== false ) {

$headers = fread($fh, 0xA00);

# 1 = (ord(n)*1) ; Document has from 0 to 255 characters
$n1 = ( ord($headers[0x21C]) - 1 );

# 1 = ((ord(n)-8)*256) ; Document has from 256 to 63743 
characters
$n2 =   ( ( ord($headers[0x21D]) - 8 ) * 256 );

# 1 = ((ord(n)*256)*256) ; Document has from 63744 to 16775423 
characters
$n3 =   ( ( ord($headers[0x21E]) * 256 ) * 256 );

# 1 = (((ord(n)*256)*256)*256) ; Document has from 16775424 to 
4294965504 characters
$n4 = ( ( ( ord($headers[0x21F]) * 256 ) * 256 ) * 256 );

# Total length of text in the document
$textLength = ($n1 + $n2 + $n3 + $n4);

$extracted_plaintext = fread($fh, $textLength);

# if you want the plain text with no formatting, do this
echo $extracted_plaintext;

# if you want to see your paragraphs in a web page, do this
echo nl2br($extracted_plaintext);

fclose($fh);

}

}


This will grab the plain text out of a word document.  Version 97' - 2003'

It doesn't work for the newest OpenXML document format.

[PHP] RecursiveDirectoryIterator and foreach

[Ryan Panning]

I have discovered that when I foreach over a RecursiveDirectoryIterator 
(see example below) the $item actually turns into a SplFileInfo object. 
I would expect it to be a RecursiveDirectoryIterator. How do I do a 
hasChildren() on SplFileInfo?


However, if I change it to a non-recursive, DirectoryIterator, $item is 
what I would expect, DirectoryIterator. I've tested this with 5.2.8 and 
5.3b1. I'm guessing this is an issue with my setup as I'm sure I've 
gotten this to work before...



$dir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('/path/to/dir');
foreach ($dir as $item) {
print get_class($item) . "\r\n";
}

[PHP] Re: multiple choice dropdown box puzzle

[Brent Baisley]

It's actually a very simple solution, and you should do it all in a
single INSERT. Putting INSERTs in a loop will kill your performance
when you try to scale.

$sql4 = 'INSERT INTO temp (example) VALUES (' . implode('),(',
$_POST["categoriesIN"]) . ')';
$result4 = mysql_query($sql4, $db);

That example does not sanitize the data before inserting.

if youre trying to do recursive iteration whereby you 'flatten' the tree
structure, drop the RecursiveDirectoryIterator into a
RecursiveIteratorIterator (its for iterating over RecursiveIterators), then
you dont have to bother w/ calling hasChildren() at all.  you probly also
want to look at the constructor args, since by default, it only returns leaf
nodes.

$dir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('/path/to/dir');

$itt = new RecursiveIteratorIterator($dir,
RecursiveIteratorIterator::CHILD_FIRST);

Re: [PHP] multiple choice dropdown box puzzle

[Curtis Maurand]

You're looking for something like:

This gets called 10 times from another function, but this is sort of 
what you're looking for. This gives me a combo-box.


function qselect($mysql_link, $i)
  {
 $driverquery = "select car_no, drv_name from cars order by car_no 
+ 0";

 $driverresult = mysql_query($driverquery, $mysql_link);
 print("\n");
 while ($driverrows = mysql_fetch_array($driverresult))
  {
print("  '$driverrows[0]'>$driverrows[1]\n");

  }
 print("   \n");
  }

first, I think, $categoriesIN is string, but in the form you made it

second, I think the php part "FOR ( $ii = 0 ; $ii <

it should be "outside" the statement

[PHP] File Write Operation Slows to a Crawl....

[fschnittke]

Hi:

Newbie here. This is my first attempt at PHP scripting. I'm trying to find
an alternative to Lotus Domino's domlog.nsf for logging web transactions.
Domino does create an Apache compatible text file of the web transactions,
and this is what I’m trying to parse. I started off using a code snibbet I
found on the web. I modified it a little bit to suit my needs. It was
working fine with the small 600k test log file I was using, but since I’ve
moved to the larger 18Mb production log file here’s what happens:

I’ve modified the code and added an echo statement to echo each loop that
gets processed. Initially it starts off very fast but then performance
becomes very slow, to a point where I can count each loop as it’s being
processed. It’s taking a little over 3 hours to parse the entire file. I
figured it was a disk cache thing, so I created a ram drive. This has
improved the performance, but is still taking an hour to parse.

Here is the PHP script I’m using:





This is running on a Toshiba Tecra A4 Laptop with FreeBSD 7.0 Release.
Plenty of RAM and HDD space. The PHP Version is:

PHP 5.2.5 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Feb 11 2009 09:28:47)
Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies

What should I do to get this script to run faster?

Any help is appreciated….

Regards,



Fred Schnittke

[Ryan Panning]

Ryan Panning wrote:
I have discovered that when I foreach over a RecursiveDirectoryIterator 
(see example below) the $item actually turns into a SplFileInfo object. 
I would expect it to be a RecursiveDirectoryIterator. How do I do a 
hasChildren() on SplFileInfo?


However, if I change it to a non-recursive, DirectoryIterator, $item is 
what I would expect, DirectoryIterator. I've tested this with 5.2.8 and 
5.3b1. I'm guessing this is an issue with my setup as I'm sure I've 
gotten this to work before...



$dir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('/path/to/dir');
foreach ($dir as $item) {
print get_class($item) . "\r\n";
}


Alright, I've found a related PHP bug report. 
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44018


It seems that the default behavior is to return a SplFileInfo object. 
However, if 0 is passed as a flag then a RecursiveDirectoryIterator 
should be returned. However, I cannot seem to get that to work with 
5.2.8. Testing previous versions, this option no longer works as of 
5.2.6, but did in 5.2.5.


This seems like a bug to me, however that bug was marked as "Wont Fix". 
The default behavior should be RecursiveDirectoryIterator as there is a 
flag for CURRENT_AS_FILEINFO. Any thoughts on that?


@ Marcus, what was the reasoning not to fix this? And why did it break 
in 5.2.6?


In relation, I've found a workaround, use while(). That way I'm always 
working off of the $dir. I'd rather use foreach though..



$dir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('/path/to/dir');
while ($dir->valid()) {
print get_class($dir) . "\r\n";
$dir->next();
}

Hi, thanks for the idea. In my case I do not want to flatten the tree. 
When there is a sub-directory I make a repeat call to the 
function/method, there-by calling it for each directory. I'd give you 
more details but I don't think it'd help with this specific issue.

Hi, although I don't think this will work in my situation, there is an 
interesting piece of code that you have.


array_push($this->_dirStack, $this->_curDirIter);

Are you able to "inject" the iterator with more items? I would like to 
do this with the RecursiveDirectoryIterator where-by I "inject" fake 
files into the iterator. Is this what you're doing here?

Yes, in essence that is what this is doing but I am not manipulating the 
DirectoryIterator objects.  I am instead using my own structure and logic to 
do this.

Basically I'm using normal (i.e flat) DirectoryIterator objects but when I 
encounter a sub directory, I instantiate another DirectoryIterator for the 
sub-directory to continue the iteration.  In order to remember where I was 
once I've finished iterating over the sub-directory the current iterator is 
pushed onto a stack.  Then once the iteration of the sub-directory is finished 
the iterator for the parent directory is popped off the stack and the 
iteration over that directory continues from where it was interrupted.

Does this explanation satisfy your question?

[PHP] PDO buffered query problem

[Stewart Duncan]

Hi there,

I'm having some serious problems with the PHP Data Object functions. I'm 
trying to loop through a sizeable result set (~60k rows, ~1gig) using a 
buffered query to avoid fetching the whole set.


No matter what I do, the script just hangs on the PDO::query() - it 
seems the query is running unbuffered (why else would the change in 
result set size 'fix' the issue?). Here is my code to reproduce the problem:


 PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY => true
)
);

$rQuery = $Database->query('SELECT id FROM mytable');

// This is never reached because the result set is too large
echo 'Made it through.';

foreach($rQuery as $aRow) {
print_r($aRow);
}
?>

If I limit the query with some reasonable number, it works fine:

$rQuery = $Database->query('SELECT id FROM mytable LIMIT 10');

I have tried playing with PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE and using the 
PDO::prepare() and PDO::execute() as well (though there are no 
parameters in the above query), both to no avail.


Any help would be appreciated,

Stewart

im not sure i fully understand the problem, but from the sound of it, as a
work-around, why not something like this,

$dirIt = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path);
foreach($dirIt as $item) {
  if($item->isDir()) {
$subdir = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($item);
// now you have the RecursiveDirectoryIterator you wanted ??
  }

When you say PEAR didn't work.  What exactly do you mean.  If you received an 
error, what was it?

What exactly "only partly worked" with the tar installer?

It seems part of my problem, at least with the tar install, was not 
setting my directory permissions so it could write the files. PEAR I 
will skip since I almost have it working using the tar file. I have 
tried creating docs with HTML:Smarty:default which works, but for 
HTML:frames:default at the file level I get *Parse error*: syntax error, 
unexpected T_STRING.


Also, if I want to download the other formats, where do you install them?

Why read in an array and then implode it to a string, then split it into
an array?  Just use file_get_contents() and split it or use file() and
then do your preg_replace("/(\r|\t)/", on the array).

All of these $all = str_replace() and othe str_replace() are probably
killing you.  Rethink a way where you extract the data instead of

Each time through the above loop you add a $new_format[$each_rec] and
then here you are looping through each one of those.  I think if you
just move this to the end it will make a drastic improvement.

Best bet would be to tell your system to not use short tags.

That is where your parse error is coming from.

Or, assuming that the above line is in an included file, change it to

';
?>

or something similar

But, if it were me, I would disabled short tags.

I may be wrong, but I heard short tags were going the way of the Dodo bird as 
of PHP6.

First, don't use file() (which reads a file into an array of strings),
and then join() (which makes them into a single string). Use
file_get_contents(), which does what you want all in one step. The
result is a single string.

> $astring = preg_replace("/(\r|\t)/", "", $astring);

Use two calls to str_replace() for the above. It's likely faster because
it doesn't involve regular expressions iterated over an 18M file.

> $records = preg_split("/(\n)/", $astring, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

It looks like you're trying to split the string at newlines. So you end
up with an array of strings again. If that's the case, just stick with
the file() call earlier, and then remove the \r's and \t's.

I would do various cleanups in the above code, but the following code
disturbs me. If I'm not misreading, you're reopening this output file
with every iteration through your file. That is, for each line you
process, you're opening and writing one line to the file, then closing
the file again. If you're relatively certain no one else will be writing
to this file, simply open it once before your while() loop, and write a
single line to it at this point. Also, you're using a foreach loop here,
but if I'm reading this properly, you only have one record you're
writing, so there's no need for a loop. In fact, you're also storing the
results in a progressively larger and larger array ($new_format). Since
you're not using this array for any other purpose, there's no point in
using an array. Just use a string to store it, and then write it back
out. So instead of what you're doing below, and considering that
$new_format will be a string instead of an array, just do:

fputs($fhandle, $new_format);

Close the file after the end of your loop.

I must be reading this wrong, because it looks to me like you're
actually writing n+1 lines to the file for each iteration (n). I don't
think that's what you had in mind. That's why you don't need a loop
here. If what I'm saying isn't clear, consider this: The way this is
written, $new_format is an array that grows by one value (string) each
iteration. But with each iteration, you're writing out the *whole* array
to the f

Don't single quote values inside array brackets when the whole
expression is in double quotes. You've got:

"... $_SESSION['thisid']";

Do this instead:

"... $_SESSION[thisid]";

try :
 $updateSQL ="UPDATE `mytable` SET thetotal=$amt WHERE
  id={$_SESSION['thisid']}";

or even better:
 $updateSQL ="UPDATE `mytable` SET thetotal=".mysql_real_escape_string($amt).
  " WHERE id=".mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['thisid']);

substituting mysql_real_escape_string with the escape function for your 
database.

Better off doing this so you don't get into the habit of not using
quotes around array params:

"... {$_SESSION['thisid']}";

Re: [PHP] File Write Operation Slows to a Crawl....

[fschnittke]

Thanks Paul and Shawn:

I can't answer the Why's in your posts, as this is literally my first
attempt at PHP, but I will investigate your response and refine my code
accordingly.

What I did find is that by replacing the following code:

$fhandle = fopen("/ramdrive/import_file.txt", "w");
  foreach($new_format as $data) {
fputs($fhandle, "$data");
}
  fclose($fhandle);


with this code:

$fp = fopen('data.txt', 'a');
fwrite($fp, $new_format[$each_rec]);
fclose($fp);

The parsing finished literally, within seconds. I don't have to worry
about anyone else opening this file, so I think this should work ok.

Thanks for your help

I see that Paul replied and we say the same things, so here are the two
best approaches to speed it up ignoring all the str_replaces(), etc.
that need to be gotten rid of:

// option 1 - i would assume this to be the most efficient / fastest
$ac_arr = file('access_log');
$records = preg_replace("/(\r|\t)/", "", $ac_arr);

$fhandle = fopen("/ramdrive/import_file.txt", "w");

foreach($records as $all) {

Good job!  I posted a minute ago with 2 options, but for your fix I
would recommend the following:

// move this before your while()
$fp = fopen('data.txt', 'w');  //notice the 'w' now

// move this after the } that ends your while
fclose($fp);

Should save even more time because you're not opening and closing the
file each time through the while().

When you say PEAR didn't work.  What exactly do you mean.  If you

What exactly "only partly worked" with the tar installer?

  
  

Here is my problem.



Need to look into turning this off or setting my web server to parse it
correctly.

Best bet would be to tell your system to not use short tags.

That is where your parse error is coming from.

Or, assuming that the above line is in an included file, change it to

';
?>

or something similar

But, if it were me, I would disabled short tags.

I may be wrong, but I heard short tags were going the way of the Dodo bird as 
of PHP6.

  

Thanks, all looks good now!

Hi there,

I'm having some serious problems with the PHP Data Object functions. I'm 
trying to loop through a sizeable result set (~60k rows, ~1gig) using a 
buffered query to avoid fetching the whole set.


No matter what I do, the script just hangs on the PDO::query() - it 
seems the query is running unbuffered (why else would the change in 
result set size 'fix' the issue?). Here is my code to reproduce the 
problem:


 PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY => true
)
);


Don't you want it the other way around? You want it unbuffered so it 
doesn't get retrieved in mysql, send the whole result set to php then 
you can use it.


You want to start using it immediately - so make it unbuffered.

The license is Apache 2, which doesn't really match my GPLv2 (or
superior) license.

Does anyone know how one deals with this kind of headache? If my
software is GPLv2 "or superior", does it means that if I include a
library that is only compatible with GPLv3 I have to restrict my soft to
GPLv3? (and not v2 anymore)

Apart from that, from a quick view through the code, I didn't really
find something better than NuSOAP "setCredentials" in the list of
available functions, but I suppose this should be an off-list topic
now...

Re: [PHP] optimizing space for array of booleans

[leledumbo]

I DO need to store them in a database, that's why I'm asking. I won't care
if I only use PHP, since it won't keep my data in memory for a long time.

> anyways, use bitwise operators
I think I've stated that I don't want to use bitwise operations. It's OK for
small sets, but not for a set with about 200 elements. Anyway, I found
bitset library in PECL, but I found no documentation at all.

Please explain this... I do not understand how the implode is being used
here.
As I understand it, the above code would aoutput or rather INSERT all
the choicees into one field as choice numbers separated by a , (like 1,
3, 4) or what?  I suppose I could use that but I'm not sure if this is
the way to  go. I understand the performance problem and would like to

Re: [PHP] Having trouble with a multidimensional array menu - new and improved

[Daevid Vincent]

Okay, I scrapped my multi-array version and have come up with what seems
to be a cleaner recursive object way of doing this.

The last bit of help I need is in the expandSelectedMenu() part. I need
a way to store all the parent nodes above, then traverse them and set
their CSS class accordingly as per the comment in the code.

//FIXME: so the tricky part is to expand all the directories in the path
to $currentMenuItem
//   we should traverse the ->parent maybe?? and set all
//   goes to
document.getElementById($id).className = "navTree";
//  and (while not required it seems, but is good 
form)
//   
goes to
document.getElementById($id).className = "directory";
//   using the $id = str_replace(array(' ','\
\','-'),'',strtolower($value->menu));

I've tried to do some "$value->parent =& $parent;" but when I var_dump()
I start seeing all these *RECURSION* sections. It seems there should be
a nicer way to store the 'root node' so to speak, and not all the
children and recurse like that. I just can't figure it out.

I know that this probably won't render right for you as you need the CSS
and JS and all that, but I'm happy to share that with anyone that helps
out to get this solved in an elegant way. Also other suggestions and
improvements are welcome. I've attached a screen shot so you can see
what it looks like.

[PHP] Unexpected results using ksort on arrays in which the keys are mixed alphanumeric strings.

[Clancy]

I have been experimenting using four character alphanumeric keys on an array, 
and when I
generated a random set of keys, and then used ksort to sort the array, I was 
very
surprised to find that if the key contained any non-numeric character, or if it 
started
with zero, the key was sorted as a base 36 number (0- 9, A-Z, as I expected. 
However if
the key only contained numbers, and did not start with zero, it was sorted to 
the end of
the list.

Thus:

0009
000A

0999
09A0
ASDF


1000


I presume this is related to last weeks discussions about casting variables, 
but I cannot
understand why 0999 should go to the start of the list, while 1000 goes to the 
end. Can
anyone explain this logically?

It was a decent page.
Point #2 though - you can use mod_rewrite to do wonders with respect to 
url presentation, and you can use DOMDocument to completely construct 
the page before sending it to the browser - allowing you to translate 
xhtml to html for browsers that don't properly support xhtml+xml.


Avoiding mixing html with php really is better, and php does let you do 
that fairly easily.

I suspect you meant "translate xml to html"?  I publish everything in
