Erm, what sort of database is it? Have you read the manual on how to get
PHP to connect and retrieve data from a database? Have you tried the
examples?

I've always that EasyPHP is very easy to set up. Just click the
installer, tick the checkboxes for the modules you want to install, and
it's done.

[PHP] preg_match doesn't match Greek

[Thodoris]

Hi gang,
   I am trying to make a form validation using preg_match and it fails. 
I think it is because the input is in Greek. I have made this script:


$str = "ΕΕΝ 5196";
$pattern = "/^[[:alnum:]\s\-\,]*$/u";

echo '';
print preg_match($pattern,$str,$matches)."\n";
print_r($matches);

to test preg_match's behavior and when the above string has Latin 
characters the pattern matches when it's in greek. Can someone explain 
this? Is there a workaround?


PS all are in UTF-8.

Re: [PHP] I'm not crazy I swear it... IE vs Safari and Firefox - The impossible!

[tedd]

Does anyone have any ideas on what could possibly be causing this?


Matt:

The first thing I would do is to validate the web portion of your 
application. In other words do your forms, as well as the rest of the 
web pages, validate? I've seen instances where people build projects 
around IE when that's not the browser you should be using as a 
foundation, but rather accommodating its shortcomings after you get 
your project working correctly.


The second thing would be to check your javascript for errors. Oddly 
enough, I would use FF (Fire Bug) for that.


You could post a url for us to look at as well.

The best approach to shared sessions are, commonly, database driven, but
this can vary depending on your site/network topology.

If the two sites are in the same server (and the server is unique) you can
share sessions, but this is risky, so you have to develop with this issue in
mind, let's say avoid things like this.



If you have more than just one web server, or you are planning to scale it
later, then the database driven fits better.
You need to share a cookie between both sites, often the "session_id", and
store the user-session info in a table.
If the user logs-in -no matter in which site- an entry on the user-session
table is set with the cookie and the user id.
When the user logs-out this entry is removed, and the user is not able to
navigate to private areas in both sites.

Avoid doing things like a form-post from SiteA to SiteB. This kind of things
only make holes to your application security system.
User credentials MUST not be handled at client-side. Keep them safetily at
server-side where you are who decide which action should be taken.

I don't think we were implicating anyone in particular for this kind of
behaviour, Martin, I'm certainly not.

I'm a 'young person' myself (being 17) and do not under any circumstances
write in such a way purely because it's harder to understand.

To be honest, on this list it is mostly the foreign people that tend to use
'u' and such, is it discriminatory to state a fact?

I disagree (and I did translate and read your Spanish message). This
mailing list is English (I'm not sure if similar ones exist for
Spanish-speaking people) so I wouldn't say that the people on the list
can be accused of behaving the same way as these 'txt'ers. While Spanish
is a very popular language, English is by far the most popular language
of the world, being spoken as a main language (not necessarily the
mother tongue though) in more countries than any other. It's also the
most popular second language for those that don't speak it as a main
language.

I think the main point of this thread was to point out the issue of
those who use 'txt spk' for normal conversations. It makes a bit of
sense to do this for phone text messages, and is only natural that it
came to be (character limits on a message, easier to type on a phone,
etc) but there should be no excuse for posters on this list. It takes
barely any more time to type 'you' instead of 'u', but trying to read a
message full of stuff like that, I get a migrane and feel disinclined to
help out purely because it takes too much effort to understand!

Ash:

I agree with you -- this was not a slam against non-English speaking 
people but rather a compliant against those who are too lazy to type 
out "you" (instead shorten it to "u").


My take on this is, programming does not allow you to take liberties 
with syntax, you must spell exactly as you are required. Likewise, 
don't take such liberties with this list. In short, if you want us to 
take the time to understand your problem, then don't make our work 
harder by requiring us to first figure out the syntax of your 
question.


I ignore anyone using shortened words, such as "u" instead of "you". 
I figure that they don't want to take the time to ask correctly, then 
I don't want to take the time to figure out what they are asking.

tedd

Each application has a mechanism to tell whether the user is loggedin,
and if so, who is loggedin.  One of the most common is probably a uid or
something saved in the session.  If both apps are on the same domain and
use the same session handler, then you just need to modify each apps
login code to set the login stuff for the other app.  Possibly create
your own login code that sets the login for both apps.  Either way,
there's no need (and I wouldn't advise) to store the password in the
session.  If it's not too verbose you can post the login code for each.

But is it a fact that can be verified and documented or merely a common 
impression?

Be that as it may, the purpose of this list is to communicate. We all come here 
to get or give help. It is difficult to do that when questions or answers are 
not expressed clearly. If it is too difficult to read the question, fewer 
people are likely to make an effort to understand it well enough to reply. So 
the more effort that goes into making a request readable, the more likely there 
will be useful replies. This is a trade off that many of us have to make every 
day, no matter what language(s) we are comfortable with. Ever hold a verbal 
conversation with a Texan, a Bostonian and an Australian all at once?

I don't think homonyms are the main problem, I believe it's homophones.
I see a lot of people use "there", "their" and "they're"
interchangeably. The one that really gets my goat though, is 'loose' and
'lose'. Very different words, but to many people, they might as well be
the same!

[PHP] Date +30 comparison

[David Stoltz]

I'm really struggling with dates in PHP. (Yes, I tried reading the
manual)...

Can someone provide code that does this:

Takes current date, assigns it to a variable (let's say $today)
Then adds 30 days to $today variable
Takes a string ($nexteval) like '8/26/2009' and compare it to $today.

The variable $nexteval must be greater than $today (which is today + 30
days) or a message is echoed.

I'm finding this difficult to do, but I'm coming from an ASP background.

Any help appreciated.

PHP (like all languages I know) treats dates as numbers; and PHP
specifically uses seconds since January 1st 1970 (other languages
sometimes have different start points and can measure in milliseconds
instead). With this in mind, you can compare dates directly as you would
an integer, and the later date will be the higher value.

To add 30 days to a given date, you could use the date_add function
(http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/datetime.add.php ) which has various
formats you can use to add different time units.

Lastly, to turn a date like 8/26/2009, I would probably try to break it
down into it's component parts (maybe using explode('/', $string_date) )
and then using those values as arguments in a mktime() function. PHP
should automatically treat the values as integers if they are strings,
because like ASP, it uses loose typing on variables.

David,

Look up date() and mktime() in the manual.

To get today's date is easy: date('m/d/Y');

But when wanting to add days/months/years to a date, you need to use
mktime()

mktime() breaks apart a date into hours/minutes/seconds/months/days/years.

Therefore I always break up my date into these types fo sections.

$month = date('m');
$day = date('d');
$year = date('Y');

Now that I have them seperated I create a variable $future_date and assign
it the value I want. In your case, 30 days in the future.

$future_date = mktime(0,0,0,date($month),date($day)+30,date($year));

Now I put it back into a date format.

$future_date = date('m/d/Y',$future_date);

echo $future_date;

Today is September 1st and the value of $future_date is October 1st because
there are 30 days in Spetember.

Now you can compare your dates.

if ($nexteval > $future_date) {
  echo "This date has already passed";
} else {
  *do some processing*
}

Hope that helps.

Dan

Re: [PHP] Date +30 comparison

[kranthi]

i prefer http://in3.php.net/strtotime it supports loads of other
formats as well (including +30 days and 8/26/2009)
above all it returns unix time stamp which can be used directly with date().

David :

First get the date to seconds, like so:

$today_date = '8/26/2009';

$next_date = strtotime($today_date) + (86400 * 30);

OR

$next_date  = strtotime('+30 days', strtotime($today_date));

Then take the seconds back to a date, like so:

$the_date = date('m/d/Y', $next_date);

Here's the example:

Ok, this is how I finally managed to get it to work - I'm sure there are
other ways, but this works:

//Check to make sure the next eval date is more than 30 days away

$d1 = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($todays_date . '+30 day'));
$d2 = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($nextdate));

if($d1>$d2){

echo "Sorry, your next evaluation date must be at least 30 days

Look at the date/time functions, they are very feature rich:

$today = time();
$nexteval = strtotime('+30 days', $today);

if ($today > $nexteval) {
echo 'Message';
}

[PHP] Reading remote files

Is there a way to read large (possibly 500 MB) remote files without loading
the whole file into memory?
We are trying to write a function that will return chunks of binary data
from a file on our server given a file location, specified offset and data
size.

But, we have not been able to get around loading the whole file into memory

What sort of remote file is it, i.e. how are you remotely connecting to

Are you actually having a problem with memory, or simply that you have
to transfer it over a network first? Depending on the protocol used, you
may be able to read it in chunks, but those chunks will still have to be
copied to the computer that is reading it before it can be processed.

The other option is to run a process in the computer where the file
resides and only send the results over the network.

As far as I know then, HTTP doesn't support entering files at points
specified by a remote user. A request is made for a file, and the server
determines how to break it up in order to send.

You got it.

Just transform any date to seconds and then compare those seconds to 
other seconds (taken from other dates) and evaluate. Dead simple.


Also note that the strtotime() and date() combination provides some 
very nice features like keeping track of the resultant date. You 
don't have to worry about leap years, or months having 28-31 days, or 
anything like that -- it's all taken care of for you, pretty neat huh?

We haven't actually had a problem yet, but we don't want to run a risk of a
server crash.  We want to be able to call this PHP function from a
standalone application that will get that particular chunk of data specified
and save it to the local drive.
But, so far, we have been told that any function we use (fopen/fread,
file_get_contents) will first load the entire file into memory.

As far as I know then, HTTP doesn't support entering files at points
specified by a remote user. A request is made for a file, and the server
determines how to break it up in order to send.

Apparently, with file_get_contents, you can specify an offset and a
datasize, but it still loads the whole file first.  Is this true?

Hi, hack.

The result is: "Failed".

I don't know why my PHP module does not talk to my MySQL.

Please keep telling me.

[PHP] Fwd: Current PHP Global Network Statistics

[Daniel Brown]

Guys and gals (particularly those of you interested in the trends
and metrics of PHP), here's a forwarded copy of an email I just fired
off to the mirrors around the world after completion of the first of
three phases of an upgrade operation.  Where does your server stand?
What about your development box(es)?  Please share your thoughts with
the class.  ;-P




-- Forwarded message --
From: Daniel Brown

Subject: Current PHP Global Network Statistics
To: PHP Mirrors List 


   ALL:

   As you may now already know, after completing the first phase of
the upgrade operation, all mirrors are running PHP5.  Here is a
breakdown of all versions, as well as some other statistics you may
find interesting.

   Overall:

       Total Mirrors, World-Wide:        118
       % of Mirrors with SQLite:          65.3%
       % of Mirrors with Stats:            37.3%
       % of Mirrors Running PHP5:     100.0%

   By version:

       5.0.3: 1
       5.0.4: 1
       5.1.1: 1
       5.1.2: 2
       5.1.6: 20
       5.2.0: 8
       5.2.1: 3
       5.2.3: 2
       5.2.4: 7
       5.2.5: 2
       5.2.6: 17
       5.2.8: 12
       5.2.9: 23
       5.2.10: 12
       5.3.0: 6
       5.3.1: 1

   Subject to deletion in Phase II: 5
   Running development versions: 1

   Content Age Sampling:

       Oldest Mirror:                 963096 Seconds (NOTE: Disabled,
Pending Delete)
       Youngest Mirrors:           98 Seconds
       Most Common Ages:      1891 Seconds, 3699 Seconds
       Total Average Age:          26160.2 Seconds (7 Hours, 16 Minutes)
       Adjusted Average Age:    18083.2 Seconds (5 Hours, 1 Minute)
           [NOTE: Adjustment removes disabled mirror from calculation.]


   Thanks again, as always, for everyone's hard work and dedication.
We're looking forward to working with all of you for a long time to
come!

In php.ini there must be a extension=mysql.so line.  If there is, make
sure that it isn't prefaced by a ; semicolon.

Also, in the script it should be ini_set("display_errors","On");

No. Due to Daylight Saving Time, many time zones have two days each

I'm not entirely sure what you're expecting here, but I'll take a
stab, I suppose!

We recently switched to 5.3.0 on production machines (a shame, I know)
after some extensive testing in our development and staging
environment deemed the release //stable for our uses//.  Outside of
that, I've one machine that's running latest SVN checkout of the 5.3
branch.

Why is 5.1.6 such a popular release for the mirrors, just the fact
it's the last release in the 5.1 series?

Why is 5.1.6 such a popular release for the PHP mirrors?

This and the "2038" bug are reasons to do this type of calculation with
Julian days, as opposed to seconds.

It's a common distro release, particular for RPM's (CentOS,
Fedora, RHEL).  In fact, that's why I set that as the minimum version
in the requirements during the upgrade operation:

Re: [PHP] Reading remote files

[Ralph Deffke]

I think, this also depends on the oprating system. I would say that any
development team would avoid loading file type data into fast memory. These
problems are all over applications. From the PHP point of view, it could
mean that file data have to be read into memory, but it could not mean that
the data have to be necceserily in a memory chip. as smart as oprerating
systems, apache and PHP are designed, I would expect some disk cashing
mechanism for large data block fom the developers.

so if u did not have any problem yet, do define a test with the average of
traffic u are expecting and see what happens. I see a pretty good chance
that there will be not so much a problem.

[PHP] PHP-->on MyMarket can not get username variable value from session.

[Ricky Tompu Breaky]

Dear my friends,

I am learning a PHP implementation with MyMarket now. I got it from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mymarket/files/mymarket/mymarket-1.72/mymarket-1.72.tar.gz/download
 .

I have installed and configured its
'/var/www/html/mymarket/application.php' to the login account of my
MySQL and I've been able to do login:
"
dbhost = "localhost";
$CFG->dbname = "mymarket";
$CFG->dbuser = "mymarket";
$CFG->dbpass = "mypassword";
$CFG->wwwroot = "http://127.0.0.1/mymarket";;
$CFG->dirroot = dirname(__FILE__);
$CFG->templatedir = "$CFG->dirroot/templates";
$CFG->libdir  = "$CFG->dirroot/lib";
$CFG->imagedir= "$CFG->wwwroot/images";
$CFG->icondir = "$CFG->imagedir/icons";
$CFG->bannerdir   = "$CFG->imagedir/banners";
$CFG->support = "supp...@mymarket.org";
$CFG->version = "1.71";
$CFG->sessionname = "mymarket";

$CFG->showsponsor   = true; // enabled banner advertising
$CFG->currency  = "$";
$CFG->currencyfirst = true; // show the currency symbol before
the price tag

$DB_DEBUG = true;
$DB_DIE_ON_FAIL = true;

require("$CFG->libdir/stdlib.php");
require("$CFG->libdir/dblib.php");
require("$CFG->libdir/mymarket.php");
require("$CFG->libdir/cart.php");

$ME = qualified_me();

ini_set("session.name", $CFG->sessionname);
session_start();
session_register("USER");
session_register("CART");

if (! isset($_SESSION["USER"])) {
$_SESSION["USER"] = array();
}

if (! isset($_SESSION["CART"])) {
$_SESSION["CART"] = new Cart;
}

$USER = &$_SESSION["USER"];
$CART = &$_SESSION["CART"];

db_connect($CFG->dbhost, $CFG->dbname, $CFG->dbuser, $CFG->dbpass);
?>


The default password of MyMarket for 'root' (administrator account) is
'password'. I have checked that my MySQL use 'md5()' as the default
encryption method.

I can do login. But the problem is, I can not change the password of
root. The error message is:
"
Errors
Your old password is invalid
".

I've taken a look which script does the password replacement and I
found it is '/var/www/html/mymarket/users/change_password.php' in that
script I've found the function and edit it for investigating where the
problem resides:
"
templatedir/header.php");
include("$CFG->templatedir/form_header.php");
include("templates/change_password_form.php");
include("$CFG->templatedir/footer.php");

function validate_form(&$frm, &$errors) {
$errors = new Object;
$msg = "";
if (empty($frm["oldpassword"])) {
$errors->oldpassword = true;
$msg .= "You did not specify your old password";
} elseif (! password_valid($frm["oldpassword"])) {
$errors->oldpassword = true;
$msg .= "Your old password is invalid";
} elseif (empty($frm["newpassword"])) {
$errors->newpassword = true;
$msg .= "You did not specify your new password";
} elseif (empty($frm["newpassword2"])) {
$errors->newpassword2 = true;
$msg .= "You did not confirm your new password";
} elseif ($frm["newpassword"] != $frm["newpassword2"]) {
$errors->newpassword = true;
$errors->newpassword2 = true;
$msg .= "Your new passwords do not match";
}
return $msg;
}

function password_valid($password) {
global $USER;

$username = $SUSER["user"]["username"];
$password = md5($password);
$qid = db_query("SELECT 1 FROM users WHERE username = '$username' AND 
password = '$password'"); 
/* Here my investigator */
echo db_num_rows($qid)."-->"."SELECT 1 FROM users WHERE username = 
'$username' AND password = '$password'";  
/* end of my investigator */ 
return db_num_rows($qid); }

function update_password($newpassword) {
global $USER;
$username = $USER["user"]["username"];
$newpassword = md5($newpassword);
$qid = db_query("UPDATE users SET password = '$newpassword'
WHERE username = '$username'"); }
?>
".

And the result is:
"
0-->SELECT 1 FROM users WHERE username = '' AND password = 
'5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99'
".
So the user variable is empty, that's why.

Now, my problem is I don't know my the PHP Script on my Apache2
of Mandriva 2009.1 does not store the session variable?

Anybody has ever found the same problem as mine? Please share it to me.

Please tell me my mistake.

Thank you very much in advance.

[PHP] OO and "Singleton" class

[Paul M Foster]

I'm a little fuzzy on some of the PHP implementation details for some
stuff. In PHP (5 <= phpversion() < 5.3), I'd like a configuration class
which can only effectively be instantiated once. Will the following code
do this? Any other suggestions or corrections? (Code is untested. Feel
free to complain about syntax.)

class config
{
private static $cfg;

// Initializes the configuration from main config file
function __construct()
{
if (!is_array(self::$cfg)) {
if (defined('CFGFILE')) {
include(CFGFILE);
self::$cfg = $config;
}
else
self::$cfg = array();
}
}

// Returns a config item or null if not found
function item($index)
{
if (array_key_exists($index, self::$cfg))
return self::$cfg[$index];
else
return null;
}

// Sets a config item, optionally overwriting.
// Returns true on success, false on failure.
function set($index, $value, $overwrite = true)
{
$write = false;
if (array_key_exists($index, self::$cfg) and $overwrite)
$write = true;
elseif (!array_key_exists($index, self::$cfg))
$write = true;
if ($write) {
self::$cfg[$index] = $value;
return true;
}
else
return false;
}

};

Re: [PHP] IRC and English

[Jessi Berkelhammer]

As a monolingual North American, I am also very uncomfortable with this 
thread.


A rant about abbreviations/IRC jargon is an appropriate discussion for 
list, but criticizing how non-native English speakers write English is 
not. This thread began with a mention of the "attitude" that non-native 
English speakers have, as if non-native English speakers are a unified 
group that are are more likely to have a bad attitude than native 
English speakers. Of course such a generalization could make people 
uncomfortable.

Same here, Paul.  You're correct in associating it primarily with
non-native-English speakers, as well.  Worse still: they use that same
language in professional job proposals.  Worse beyond that: they are
selected for said jobs.  I've dropped clients because they have put me
onto a team with folks like that.  Sort of cutting out the bottom of
the barrel, really.

The primary thing you need to do to make a class a singleton is
disallow the instantiation of a class directly.  Which means using
visibility, which is conspicuously absent from your example above.

So, to prevent normal instantiation, we make the constructor private.
Also, we need a method to retrieve the instance.  Static members serve
this purpose:

class Singleton {
  private static $instance;

  private function __construct() { }

  public static function getInstance() {
 if( ! self::$instance instanceof Singleton)  //replace Singleton
with class name
   self::$instance = new Singleton; //replace Singleton with class name

 return self::$instance;
  }

  public function __clone() {
throw new Exception('Cannot clone a Singleton');
  }
}

This class "shell" will prevent people from instantiating it ($foo =
new Singleton is an error).  Instead, deployment will look like `$foo
= Singleton::getInstance()` which, as you can tell, always returns the
same instance.   Throwing an exception out of __clone() will prevent
something like `$foo = Singleton::getInstance(); $bar = clone $foo;`
which is something I see overlooked a lot.

So, if you wanted to convert your full class to a singleton it would
look something like:

class config {
private static $instance;
private static $cfg;

private function __construct() {
if(!is_array(self::$cfg)) {
if(defined('CFGFILE')) {
include(CFGFILE);
self::$cfg = $config;
} else {
self::$cfg = array();
}
}
}

public function getInstance() {
if(!(self::$instance instanceof config)) {
self::$instance = new config();
}

return self::$instance;
}

public function __clone() {
throw new Exception("Cannot clone a Singleton.");
}

public function item($index) {
if(array_key_exists($index, self::$cfg))
return self::$cfg[$index];
else
return null;
}

   // Sets a config item, optionally overwriting.
   // Returns true on success, false on failure.
   function set($index, $value, $overwrite = true) {
$write = false;
if (array_key_exists($index, self::$cfg) and $overwrite) {
$write = true;
} elseif (!array_key_exists($index, self::$cfg)) {
$write = true;
}

if ($write) {
self::$cfg[$index] = $value;
return true;
} else {
   return false;
}
   }


}

Note that this is also completely untested or anything of the sort.

I would argue that it's perfectly acceptable to criticize how non-native
English speakers write English. But that's neither here nor there.

You've clearly misread or misunderstood the original post, so let's
parse it:

"I'm sorry, but is anyone else annoyed by people who attempt to use IRC
jargon on mailing lists?"

Just a question, aimed at no one in particular, but expressing
annoyance.

"For example, substituting 'u' for 'you'."

Just a statement to clarify the original proposition.

"Oddly enough, I'm seeing this primarily in foreign language posters,
not in native English speakers." 

Again, an observation. It does not say *all* foreign language posters
are doing this. It only says that I've observed this *primarily* in
foreign language posters. It doesn't say foreign language posters are
bad or inferior, or even that they're part of al Qaeda. Just that I've
noticed this trend in foreign language posters mostly.

"It's often accompanied by English so broken I don't even bother trying
to decypher it,"

Another observation. It points out that where I've seen IRC-like idioms
in foreign language posters, I've also *often* observed very poor English.
Not *always*, but *often*. Again, I'm not disparaging all foreign
language posters.

"and sometimes an *attitude* (after which, I blacklist the poster)."

Another observation.

So we have the set of IRC-idiom posters. Of those (according to my post)
*primarily* they are foreign language posters. So foreign language
posters who post IRC-idioms are a large subset of IRC-idiom posters. Of
*that* subset, I *often* see very broken English (a subset of the
subset). And *sometimes* I see an "attitude" accompanying the posts (a
subset of the subset of the subset).

Okay? If your native language is English, the above should have been
clear in the first place. And if it's not English, then I've just done
you the favor of parsing it for you. (You can send cash to thank me. ;-)

Yes -- and I always look askance at shared-hosting providers who rely
on safe_mode and call it a security measure. Then when I'm done
looking askance, I take my business elsewhere.

As a fellow monolingual North American, I feel very uncomfortable 
about your statement as well. Does any other monolingual North 
American feel the same way as I do? Please expound on your feelings 
about this most disheartening and distasteful topic. (Boy has this 
thread degenerated into some politically correct bullsh#t, huh?)


Look if you are not the one using "u" as a substitute for "you", then 
I don't see any support for the discomfort you may feel about this 
thread. But you are free to feel as it is your nature (shudder).


If non-English users (or anyone else for that matter) want to use "u" 
for "you" that's fine -- but I'll refrain from helping them as well. 
I am sure that if I were writing in their language and shortened it 
to uncomprehending gibberish, I would receive the same treatment from 
them. Why is this so hard to understand -- am I using words that are 
two lengthy?


Cheers,

tedd

[PHP] Generic decorators and type hinting

[David Kurtz]

I'm looking for a way to implement a generic Timing class as a  
decorator or come up with a solution for timing code execution without  
cluttering the code.


In my web app, there is a perceived need to measure the execution time  
of many function calls and database queries using ZFDebug and its  
timing plugin.


An initial crack at this resulted in lots and lots of timing code  
interspersed with real code, which made modification and debugging a  
bit nightmarish.


As a solution, I wrote a very bare-bones Timing class, a decorator  
that would encapsulate an object, intercept calls to the object via  
the __call method, start a timer, pass the call through to the  
encapsulated object, then stop the timer.


My interface went like this:

$obj = new Thing();
Timer::time( $obj ); // $obj becomes a Timer obj with $obj inside it
$obj->thingMethod(); // Timer passes call to Timer->obj

This worked great (and if anyone's interested I can pass on the code)  
-- my timers worked, and the code originally written for $obj didn't  
even notice -- except in cases where a function used type hinting and  
I got Unknown errors. I'm using Zend Framework, and (for instance) I  
was curious about the timing on my Initializer (a controller plugin),  
so I thought the following would do the trick:


$initializer = new Initializer($env);
Timer::time( $initializer );
$frontController->registerPlugin( $initializer );

But machinery deep in the bowels of Zend does type hinting for a  
Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract object, not a Timer, and so an error  
is raised.


Whole point is that I want to be able to use this Timer class on  
anything. Seems like I should be able to if it weren't for the type  
hinting.


Is there any way to fool a function into thinking my Timer is the same  
class as Timer->obj?
Is there another way to cleanly wrap method calls for timing/logging  
purposes?
Any other good patterns for measuring code execution time without  
cluttering the code?


I found this discussion from last December, asking a very similar  
question, but it seemed unresolved:

Thank you all for your answers.

i was looking for a simple and fast answer -> I'm going to store the a
unique id
in the database, and pass it between applications using the $_SESSION.
Shawn and Martin, Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,

After PHP 5.3, there is better implements for Singleton.

This entry was written by Japanese, but you may understand php code. :-)
