I would have the functions return true or false and
do something like:

  while (do_something() &&
 do_something_else()&&
 do_another_thing() &&
 do_yet_another_thing() &&
 and_keep_doing_things())
;

The first step on the road to enlightenment is to learn how to learn
without asking for help.

1) RTFM

2) Try it - set up a sandbox where you can play with code and make
mistakes without consequences

3) Google/Bing it (yeah, Bing's never gonna catch on like that!)

4) Try it again

5) If you're still having problems ask here and include evidence that
you've put some effort into steps 1-4

This list should be your last port of call when you can't figure something out.

Now I have to disagree that the OO variants of the MySQL API are any
better than the plain old mysql_* functions. In particular I have
found PDO to be significantly slower. Yes you have to take care of
escaping values in SQL statements yourself, but having to be
consciously aware of security issues is never a bad thing unless
you're lazy about it.

As Jay says you cannot assume that any code that calls external
services is going to work. You need to check return values, catch
exceptions and do everything else you can to handle unexpected events.
I've found that 99.99% of the time MySQL is perfectly reliable, but in
the 0.01% you may unexpectedly lose the connection for any number of
reasons. If you don't handle it then you could end up losing data but
happily telling your users it was stored successfully.

In general this is known as defensive programming. Never assume
anything, handle every eventuality you can think of including the
"this will never happen" cases, and always make sure you have a
catch-all for stuff you can't think of. Learn to do this early and
you'll have a much better time of it.

Now I have to go and find June - I'm sure I lost a few days in there somewhere.

This would appear to be relating to a specific product and not PHP in
general. You see the clue is in the list name... PHP General.

Please contact the company or developer that supplied the software you
are trying to use - they might know what the heck you're talking
about.

I assume you looked at register_shutdown_function() and 
session_set_save_handler()

One way I handled this problem is to save the data in "cleanup" files. Then when 
 the page is called by a new client, a function checks the file's time stamp, 
say if it's more than 10 minutes earlier, does the cleanup process.


This technique assumes that a new client will come along and that the cleanup 
process(es) are fairly fast.

Oh! You mean:

I think everyone was confused by you using the word "push", which means

I think you *could* do something like this:



The catch is that in this case all the functions would have to accept

OT, but the first time I tried bing I resolved to not go back.  If I
search on spidean, which is the name of my site and is a Gaelic word
found in the name of many mountain peaks in Scotland, I get results for
spiderman as top results.  In contrast, google asks me "did you mean
spiderman?" but gives me all results for spidean.

[PHP] Problems with unit tests

2009-07-01 Thread Bob McConnell
I am using test-harness.php (PHP TAP Test Harness 1_0_0_BETA) and
test-more.php to write some unit tests for several libraries of
functions. These tests need to run from a MS-Windows CLI so they can be
run on our desktops for now and can be added to the automated build
process later.

I have written my first tests using test-more.php to generate TAP
compliant results, and they work as expected (see below - yes, both
tests should fail). But when I run them with test-harness.php, the
reported results are wrong (also below). The harness reports all tests
passed, even if they didn't.

After doing some digging, I found Bug #44908, which seems to be related.
It appears the interpreter on MS-Windows is not creating the pipe file
for STDOUT, so the harness never sees the results from the actual tests.
I also tried using the Perl Test::Harness to run the scripts and get the
same error message there. Both harnesses appear to ignore the error
count returned as the process exit value as well. But I am not sure if
that is true or they just never saw it.

Has any workaround been identified for this problem?

Is there another mailing list that might be a more appropriate forum for
this issue?

Thank you,

Bob McConnell

The last example you posted said:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near 's Roast Beef Restaurant #9459', ' 1833 W Republic Rd ',
'3/2/09', '' at line 1

This indicated that the value for $ucName contained an
apostrophe/single-quote character. (Perhaps it was supposed to be
"Arby's Roast Beef Restaurant #9459"?).

[PHP] Split up Date Range

2009-07-01 Thread Matt Neimeyer
I haven't been able to find anything by googling... Does anyone know
of any libraries that will split up date ranges? We've got a project
where "Date Of Attendance" is moving from a single type in character
field to an automatically built field based on a DateBegin date field
and a DateEnd date field. Some examples of what I'd like ideally...

Given: July 19-22, 2009
Return: 7/19/2009 and 7/22/2009

Given: July 19th and 20th
Return: 7/19/2009 and 7/20/2009 (we can safely assume current year for
this project)

Given: Sept 19, 2009 - Sept 22, 2009
Return: 9/19/2009 and 9/22/2009

Given: July 19th, 2009
Return: 7/19/2009 and 7/19/2009

Given: 7/19/2009
Return: 7/19/2009 and 7/19/2009

I could probably hack something together that would work most of the
time... but why reinvent the wheel if some poor shlub has already done
it.

If such a thing doesn't exist... then I'm considering an algorithm
like such... (and advice... yays and nays are appreciated)

Replace the names (and variations thereof) of the months with their
numeric equivilants followed by a comma. So the above would become...

7, 19-22, 2009
7, 19th and 20th
9, 19, 2009 - 9, 22, 2009
7, 19th, 2009
7/19/2009

Then replace all the th and nd and st with nothing... replace all the
ands with a dash... and eliminate spaces... and change / to ,
Giving...

7,19-22,2009
7,19-20
9,19,2009-9,22,2009
7,19,2009
7,19,2009

Then explode on commas. If you have two elements populate the third
with the current year. (This "fixes" 7,19-20 to 7,19-20,2009). Not a
given example, but it would also fix 7/19 to 7,19,2009.

When you have three elements then you have a "valid" date. Loop over
each element and populate begin and end, if you find a dash in the
current element then split on the dash and populate as needed. Yes
this would allow 7-8,19-20,2009 to create 7/19/2009 and 8/20/2009 but
I think its as safe as any assumption that "regular people" wouldn't
enter that as a date range.

If you have more than three elements then split on the dash and as
long as you have have only two elements then consider each item by
itself.

If it's not handled by the above rules then don't split it up.

Thanks in advance.

Matt

Wow, first question is, why accept such a variety of inputs? Can't you force a 
particular standard for people that allows them to enter a range?

Try removing the backticks from the tablename, I have found that if
you include the backticks around the table name and not the field
names, mysql will throw the occassional fit.

Removed them and still getting the same error
It returns one record then spits out the error...weird.

Re: [PHP] Split up Date Range

It would be easier to standardize the input so you only have to run one
regular expression check to validate and then split the data up.

Well I had wondered about the escape_string and did it like this, now I have a 
new problem, it is inserting all the records in the database (making 
duplicates) I want it to match the records and only insert the ones not there...

Here's my code so far:

$cleanViolations = str_replace('*', '', $cviolations);$ucName = 
ucwords($name);$ucAddress = ucwords($address);$mysql_name = 
mysql_escape_string($ucName);$mysql_address =

  $mysql_notes = mysql_escape_string($notes);$mysql_critical = 
mysql_escape_string($critical);$mysql_cviolations = 
mysql_escape_string($cleanViolations);$mysql_noncritical = 
mysql_escape_string($noncritical);   echo "$ucName ";
echo "$ucAddress ";echo "$inDate ";echo "$inType "; 
   echo "$notes ";echo "$critical ";//echo

"$noncritical "; //compare entries and insert new 
inspections to the database //call what is in the database$query = "SELECT

'$mysql_address' AND inDate LIKE '$mysql_inDate' AND inType LIKE

 echo $result; $row = mysql_numrows($result);  if ($row == 0){  
  $sql = "INSERT INTO `restaurants` (name, address, inDate, inType, notes,

[PHP] cannot figure out permissions for fopen/fwrite

2009-07-01 Thread Mari Masuda

Hello,

This is probably a dumb newbie question.  I am running PHP 5.2.5 and  
Apache 2.2.8 on my Mac Book Pro OS X 10.4.11.  I compiled PHP and  
Apache from source a while ago (as opposed to using the built-in web  
server that is included w/ Mac OS X).  I have written the below PHP  
whose purpose is to read an existing comma separated (CSV) file and  
save the data into a text file that I can later copy and paste from  
into my website content management system.  The problem is that on my  
Mac, I cannot seem to figure out what permissions I need to set in  
order to make the input CSV and the initially non-existant output  
text file readable and writable by Apache/PHP.  I have Googled and  
come across many pages about different ways to set permissions and  
different permissions to set but none of the ways suggested that I  
tried seemed to work for me.  As a temporary solution, I uploaded my  
PHP file to a Windows 2003 server running Apache and PHP and it  
worked flawlessly (and makes me suspicious that there is some huge  
security hole with the Windows box since it was able to execute with  
no permissions modifications).  Any tips would be greatly  
appreciated.  Thanks!

What are the permissions on /Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/ ?

Apache needs write permissions on that dir in order to create the file
tableToCutAndPaste.txt.

It's probably not a secure idea to give write permissions to that dir,
so maybe create a subdir of tmp and change those permissions (one way):

mkdir /Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/tmp
chmod a+w /Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/tmp

Thanks for the suggestions.  I added the following lines to the very

error_reporting(E_ALL);

mkdir("/Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/tmp", 0777, true);
chmod("/Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/tmp", "a+w");

and I also changed the line where it tries to open the file to write  
to to go to the new directory:


	$out = fopen("/Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/tmp/ 
tableToCutAndPaste.txt", "w");


Below are the errors I got:

What are the permissions on /Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/ ?

Apache needs write permissions on that dir in order to create  
the file

tableToCutAndPaste.txt.

It's probably not a secure idea to give write permissions to  
that dir,
so maybe create a subdir of tmp and change those permissions  
(one way):


mkdir /Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/tmp
chmod a+w /Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/tmp



Also, turn on error reporting so that you can see the exact  
problem.  It

may not be what you think.

[PHP] Call for testing: New PHP 5.3 debian packages

2009-07-01 Thread sean finney
(Please excuse the gratuitous cross-post)

Now that PHP 5.3 has been officially released[1], the Debian PHP packaging
team would like to announce the availability of PHP 5.3 packages for initial
public testing.

The packages are currently available for both amd64 and i386 users of
testing/unstable, via the "experimental" release section of the debian
packaging archive.  To install these packages on your system, add the
following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main

you should then be able to install these packages with

apt-get install -t experimental php5

(and you can replace php5 with a more specific package selection
 of course)

DISCLAIMER: You should not install these packages on a production system,
until they have recieved wider testing and review.  I have
given the packages limited local testing but due to the
nature of the 5.3 upgrade it's possible that you may have
problems with either the packaging or one of the many changes
in this update!

As time progresses we may set up an alternate location dedicated for
php5.3 related packages, depending on demand, how many additional packages
we need to rebuild for testing (all debian packages that build against
the php API/ABI need to be updated) and how long we delay the transition
to 5.3 in debian unstable.  

I should emphasize that we don't have plans to transition to PHP 5.3 in
debian testing/unstable in the immediate future; at least not until we
feel comfortable that the packages and software are reasonably stable and 
tested.  So if you want to see this happen faster the best thing you can
do is report to us with your problems (and successes!) using these packages.

Please forward any and all feedback/problems to the Debian PHP team's
mailing list[2] and if you're convinced that there's a problem, the 
debian bug tracking system[3] and/or the PHP bug tracking system[4] depending
on who you think should get the blame :).

[PHP] removing an array from a compound array

2009-07-01 Thread Andres Gonzalez
I have a compound array, that is, an array of an array of an array, etc, 
that is about 5 arrays
deep. I currently search thru all of these arrays, and based on some 
criteria, I want to delete

one of the arrays (along with all of its sub-arrays) in the middle.

What is the easiest way to delete such an "embedded" array?

array_splice() looked like a possibility, however, it requires that I 
specify the array

for removal by using offsets which seems odd to me.

Isn't there a way to remove array A from array B?

Thanks,

-Andres

What is not fine?



I was preaching this to you months ago.  You should have error reporting turned on in a development 
area.


by that I mean php should be set to display_errors = on and error_reporting = 
E_ALL

Give this a try in a development area and "you will see the errors of your 
ways..."

Is that exactly your code?
see your 4th line:

you forgot the "y" in mysql_query function...
if you have a 500 error code maybe this is the problem

[PHP] PHP Raw-listing Problem

2009-07-01 Thread Parham Doustdar
Hi there everyone,
First of all, let me thank you for your always-present help in this list; I (as 
a newbie) appreciate it very much! :)
However, pardon me for I need to trouble you with another piece of text that 
doesn't do what it should do:
I need to parse the raw-listing of an FTP into it's parts (the code comes from 
the book published by Wrox, however, I don't have the book in my posession to 
check the two versions against each other), but it returns an empty list. Here 
is the code:
[code]
switch ($this->systype){ //Parse raw dir listing into fields
 case 'Windows_NT':  //Handle WinNT FTP servers
 $re = '/^.' .
 '([0-9-]+\s+)'.   //Get last mod date
 '\d\d:\d\d..)\s+' .  //Get last mod time
 '(\S+)\s+' .//Get size or dir info
 '(.+)$/';//Get file/dir name
 break;
 
 case 'UNIX':   //Handle UNIX FTP servers
 default://case UNIX falls through to default
  $re = '/'.   //Regax to parse common server dir into
  '^(.)' .   //Get entry type info (file/dir/etc.)
  '(\S+)\s+' .   //Get permissions info
  '\S+\s+'.   //Find, but don't capture hard link info
  '(\S+)\s+' .  //Get owner name
  '(\S+)\s+' .  //Get group name
  '(\S+)\s+' .  //Get size
  '(\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+\s+)' . //Get file/dir last mod time
  '(.+)$/';   //Get file/dir name
  break;
 }
 
 //Map short identifiers to full names
 $type = array('-'=>'file','d'=>'directory');
 
 $listing = array();
 
 foreach ($temp as $entry) {  //loop through raw listings
 //try to parse raw data into fields
 $match=preg_match($re,$entry,$matches);
 
  if(!$match) {   //if we could not parse the listings
  user_error("The directory listings could not be parsed.");
  return array();   
  }
 
 switch ($this->systypes){  //Give fileds sensible names
 case 'Windows_NT';//Handle WinNT-style dir listings
  $listings[] = array( //Put parsed data into readable format
  'type' =>
is_numeric($matches[2]) ? 'file' : 'directory','permissions' => 
null,'owner' =>NULL,'group'=>null,'size'=>(int)$matches[2],
'last mod' => $matches[1],'name'=>$matches[3]);
 break;
 
 case 'UNIX':  //Handle UNIX FTP-style dir listings
 default:   //case UNIX fails through to default
 $strings[] = array( //Put data into readable format
 'type' =>$type[$matches[1]],'permissions' => $matches[2],'owner' 
=>$matches[3],'group' => $matches[4],'size' => $matches[5],
 'last mod' =>$matches[6],'name'=>$matches[7]);
 break;
  
 }
 } 
  return $listings;
[/code]

Since this function is called Is($directory); I tried this:
var_dump($ftp_server->Is($ftp_server->cwd));

However, I get null.

Why?

(It's not that I understand how the raw-listing is being parsed using regular 
expressions, so it's why I'm asking :) )

Thanks!
