[PHP] php.net down?

Anybody noticed php.net is down?

It's responding to pings. But no pages load.

It's not an exception, it's a "fatal error". Fatal errors are caught
by error handling functions, not by catch blocks.

Consequence of having (at least) two separate error handling
mechanisms in the same language.

[PHP] Sub Menu System?

[David Stoltz]

Folks,

I'm developing a rather large site in PHP. The main horizontal nav bar
never changes, no matter how deep you are in the site. However, on the
left side is a vertical "sub-menu" system. This menu is proving to be a
real pain to program. I have it limited the menu system to 3 levels:

MAIN:
 |___Secondary pages
   |___Tertiary pages

For each level, and each folder, I have a file called subnav.php, which
contains the links for that page. It has its own code to determine the
page it's on, and highlight the appropriate menu item.

The problem is when I need to move pages, or add pages, it's proving to
be a REAL PAIN to maintain this type of structure.

Does anyone know of any off-the-shelf product that can create/maintain a
sub-menu system like this?

I don't mind starting over at this point, but I'm hoping there is
something I can just purchase, so I can concentrate on the rest of the
sitehopefully the menu system would support PHP and ASP.

Thanks for any information!

 ($letter == $c)
? printf('%s ',$c)  
  : printf('%s ',$c,$c); 
   }echo 
"";
//Show all restaurants that 
start with $letter$sql 
= "SELECT * FROM restaurants WHERE name LIKE '{$letter}%'"; 
   $result = mysql_query($sql) or 
die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){   
   printf('%s%s%s',$row['name'],$row['address'],$result['cviolations']);  
  } 

 ?>
Thanks again everyone!!

I think you are making it more difficult than it has to be.

Re: [PHP] Exception not being caught

[Martin Scotta]

There are many examples of error_handlers at
http://ar.php.net/manual/es/function.set-error-handler.php

The handler only have to cast the error to exception.

YOu can write a simple handler or a fully featured one, but the essence is
the same...

function errorHandler(/*args*/)
{
$e = new Exception( $message, $code );
throw $e;
}

Re: [PHP] Sub Menu System?

[Martin Scotta]

you can make the menu based on the files.
Open the directory, read the files and save some sort of "cache" that use
the site.

When you need to move something, just delete the "cache" an let php do the
rest.

Terion,

I hope that isn't your final answer. This has SQL injection written
all over it since you are neither validating that $letter is actually
a letter, nor are you escaping it before passing it off to MySQL.



In this case, it should be safe to use $letter directly in the query
without passing it through mysql_real_escape_string() since it should
only contain a single harmless alphanumeric letter, but it wouldn't
hurt (and may still be a good idea) to go ahead and escape the value
in the query anyway just in case something in your code changes later
that might cause some cruft to slip in.

That's definitely confusing, but more confusing to me is labeling the
fatal error as "catchable", which definitely implies a try / catch
block should handle it.

Maybe they should call it a "handleable" fatal error :) ... implying
it can be managed with set_error_handler().

This looks like a great idea -- I was thinking I'd have to give up the
convenient flow control involved in exception handling, but this
should bring it back nicely.

My point of view:

# i'll use constants for these values
assert( ord('A') == 0x41 );
assert( ord('Z') == 0x5A );

# 1. get the ascii code of the 1st character or from A=0x41
$letter = ord( array_key_exists('letter', $_GET) ? strtoupper(
$_GET['letter']{0} ) : 'A' );

# 2. different solutions
# 2.a check if it is range ussing <= ussing constants (faster)
$letter = chr( 0x41<= $letter && $letter <= 0x5A ? $letter : 0x41 );

# 2. different solutions
# 2.b check if it is range min/max and with constants (faster)
$letter = chr( min( max(0x41, $letter), 0x5A) );

I'd use the 2.b but this has different behaviour when $letter > Z (should
this ever happen?)
In the other hand I think it is the faster one.

printf has it's own mini-syntax.
This was implemented in C.
PHP's printf syntax is very similar, but with some cool add-ons

[PHP] Add php.net to my browser search box

[Martin Scotta]

Hi all!

I'd like to add php.net to my browser search box.
Most browser can do it by "looking" at some XML provided by the site.

The HTML must contain a simple link tag like this
http://php.net/osd.xml"; />

and osd.xml should be something like this


PHP.net
Quick search in PHP.net!
php quick search

http://php.net/images/logos/php-icon-white.gif
http://search.php?pattern={searchTerms}"/>
UTF-8
false


I know php.net use method="POST", but it's quite easy to provide a GET
mechanism.


is this the correct place for posting this?

[PHP] Inverting a dependency list

[Bob McConnell]

I recall, years ago, having a set of utilities that would build a call
tree from application code written in C. This was useful for figuring
out dependencies in code that someone else had written. I would like to
do something similar with a large PHP application I am now maintaining,
but with a slightly different emphasis.

This application includes several library files which contain more than
400 function declarations. I need to determine how many of those
functions are actually used by the application and which can be culled
from the code base. Is there an easy way to determine which of them are
called somewhere and then work through the call tree to identify the
orphans?

[PHP] Syntax Snag need extra eyes

[Miller, Terion]

I'm almost there with my little pagination script but now I'm hung on the
"Unexpected T_Variable" error...which in the past has been a semi-colon
missing so I'm not sure why this is throwing it...eyes please:

 printf('%s%s',$row['name']

It looks like you have nested single quotes. You probably need to escape
the inside set.

The single ticks in your array() variable is causing the problem.

plus, since you are using single quotes for the entire string, the
variable isn't going to be interpreted as a variable.  It will simply
print the string $row['name']

Also, this is the wrong way to use printf().  Please go read the manual
page for this function.

Try:

printf(
'%s%s',
$row['name'],
$row['name'],
$row['address']
);

This is the correct way to use printf()

Folks,

I'm developing a rather large site in PHP. The main horizontal nav bar

real pain to program. I have it limited the menu system to 3 levels:

   |___Tertiary pages



This might help:

I like this, just because I don't need to repeat $row['name'] (but it is the
same thing):

printf(
   '%1$s%2$s',
   $row['name'],
   $row['address']
);

I would say personal preference is the main factor.

I use echo mostly.  Some people like print() and some line printf() &
sprintf().  Probably depends mostly on where you learned to program.

Honestly, echo and print() use the same internal PHP construct.  From
what I understand, one links to the other as an alias or something to
that affect.  Also, the parenthesis are optional when using echo and print.

Back in the day, to be consistent, most people used printf() in C or
other similar programming languages.

I use FF 2 & 3 and I created a bookmark that simply had a keyword
assigned to it.

Bookmark properties are as follows:

Name:   PHP.net
Location:   http://www.php.net/%s
Keyword:php
Description:Type "php " in the address bar
to perform a PHP.net search

Not sure if you can do this with other browsers, but I have found it to
be very useful.

That's what I like about this list. I wasn't totally sure it would
work myself, but I was pretty sure it would, and this was another one
of those posts that provided just enough prompting for me to actually
pop the code into Zend Studio where I could test it pretty quickly.

PHPUnit + Xdebug has a really nice code coverage generation.  Perhaps
you could use the way phpunit hooks into xdebug to figure out likes
that get hit in the code base.  I don't know of a simple, ready-made
solution off the top of my head though.

[PHP] Case Conversion of US Person Names

[phphelp -- kbk]

Hi, All -- -- - -

I occasionally find myself in need of a utility to do case conversion  
of people's names, especially when I am converting data from an old  
to a new system. This is the first such occasion in PHP.


I know about ucwords() and mb_convert_case(). They do not accommodate  
names with "middle" capitalization.


Does anybody have such a utility to share, or know of one posted by  
someone "out there" that you have used?


I am not looking for perfection -- I know that such is not possible.  
I just want to pick off the easy ones -- Mc, Mac, O', de, de la, van,  
vander, van der, d' and others like that. I see some novel attempts  
to do parts of this on the PHP ucwords() "User Notes" area, but I bet  
someone out there has something more comprehensive. I'd rather not  
"roll my own" as I have done in other languages.


I have Googled without success.

Many thanks,


Ken

No, that won't work.  The string that it is in, was created using single
quotes.  Therefor the array reference will never be looked at.  It will
simply print the actuall string, not the value associated to the array
reference.

Thank you. If I "roll my own" function, that could be useful.

I imagine $row is the array, and ['inType'] is an element of the array.
This is not how you use a foreach. Can you show where you are getting
$row from?

There are a plethora of solutions to do this type of navigation. All of them

into jQuery as it has some of this built in too I believe. Lastly, consider
using an array to build your menu with, then you can filter and do

[PHP] Characters causing problems in search strings?

[Miller, Terion]

My little browse /search restaurant project is coming along, but I just
noticed that any restaurant with a &, () or # in the name like say for
example Arby's Store #12 ...will not return results... Yet if a name has a /
or a - it's not a problem...
1. why is this and how do and where do I escape those characters on the
query? Or on the insert?

Thanks in Advance

[PHP] Internal PHP caching methodology

[Daniel Kolbo]

Hello,

Call me a dreamer...but I got to ask.

Is there any software for helping speed up PHP by utilizing internal PHP
caching?

I am not talking about the external php cache/header control.  Smarty
caching doesn't give me the control I need either.

I would like to cache to a finer level than page by page, but rather on
a module by module basis.  Each of my pages contains a subset of
modules.  The content of these modules changes based upon certain
criteria (link, time, session data, but is sometimes static across the
site).  I would like to be able to cache individual "modules"
(preferably based upon frequency and time to generate).

I am trying to develop a way to do this, but I have to think a brighter
mind has come before me and hopefully arrived at a solution.

As always any help/thoughts are much appreciated, except for that one
guy's comments (you all know who I am talking) ~ jk ;)

Thanks,
`

Just a heads-up for those of you reading the newsgroup in
real-time and emailing me directly or contacting off the PHP General
list, do not worry: the PHP website is not going down.  To answer a
few of the other questions that were actually asked:


* We appreciate the offer, but we do not need a sponsor to buy
the php.net domain back.  It is still in our control at this time.

* Our "hosting bills" are not overdue.

* Do not worry, your government has not [yet] cut off access
to the php.net website, but if you still want to download a copy of
the manual, you are welcome to do so.

* You have not been blacklisted for "too many searches."

As you can see, things are returning to normal after a minor and
temporary glitch.  Thank you for your concern, and a special thanks to
those who offered assistance when they were concerned that there may
be larger issues.

Have you actually profiled your code to see where the pain points are
vs saying 'module?'  Are you also running an opcode cache?  From there
you can use data, block, or full page caching.  Finally you can figure
out if you want to store it in flat files or memory.  I'd start by
knowing what is actually the slow part using Xdebug and nail a few
down.

There is no end all solution.  Some pages really don't have a lot
going on and are hardly updated so full page is fine.  Others might
have something that is hard to generate on a sidebar, so block caching
would be more suitable for that.  As previously mentioned, Zend_Cache
is up to the task.  There is also a PEAR package called Cache_Lite
which would work to if you're interested in file based caching.

One of those situations where I bought a domain name with the
intent and desire to do something, and wound up converting it to
personal usage.  In this case, doing nothing but putting up random
crap to do a 1995-style throwback site.  Ugly, simple, linear only
not Netscape Navigator grey and blue.  ;-P

Ok... We'll wait until documentation be back...

I reviewed some mirrors (www, us) and they are all in the same situation:
no documentation (not online, not download). Except those who have not
been updated today ...

"en" is now in the rsync space again, all other languages will follow.

They probably just have their asp.net module misconfigured.

IIS crashed.  We tried to CTRL+ALT+DEL, but it didn't work.  We've
been on the phone with Tech Support for nine hours, and hope to be
able to install Service Pack 31 next week.

[Now for the real (canned) response.]


We're aware of the issue, and thanks for your report.  For more
information, please see this thread on our newsgroups:
