Re: [PHP] Date Comparison
Telling someone RTFM is just rude and mean. Manipulating dates and times can be confusing for beginners and experienced people alike. I would suggest that when a question asked here causes you to respond with RTFM, don't respond at all. Save yourself the time and trouble and save the person asking the question the grief of being insulted. And Tedd your condescending response caused me to lose respect for you. I'm sure the OP would have been more than thankful to receive the same response without the RTFM. I'll read any response to this, but I won't have anything more to say. This list has been polluted enough lately with nonsense. Incredible.

You're entitled to your opinion as much as I am, and my opinion is that not making it clear to people that the answer to their question is plainly obvious in the manual is just as rude if not more so than suggesting they RTFM. I make a point to never just say RTFM but to also answer the question at the same time, but IMHO not telling people how fundamental their question was does not help them in the long run. At the end of the day it just encourages them to continue to rely on this list rather than learning how to find the answer themselves and to only use this list as a last resort.

Excuse me? Somebody suggested a PHP loop to solve a query problem and you are saying that REGEXP should not be used? MySQL caches queries and 100 SELECT with a REGEXP will cost zero after the first one if nothing changed inside the table. At the same time an internal REGEXP is faster than everything else has to move out and be parsed after via, probably, the same REGEXP engine. Try some bench. This problem, imho, is a non-problem, at least not a PHP problem. How MySQL optimizes internally REGEXPs is not PHP problem as well. It's like to create a loop to read byte after byte because file_get_contents could be memory greedy (if you do that with 1 Gb of file you are you doing wrong in any case, logs need to be split as example) or avoid MATCH AGAINST in query if we have too many rows because of performances problem (table could be slipt as well to optimize performances) ... and these practices to avoid native solutions are a bit hilarious, imho.

Re: [PHP] a doubt with class DOM
It works ok for me and I think it's very reliable. You might want to run a few
test on it though.
Another approach is to break up your xml into smaller documents and then use
php string functions to merge them together.

If you take the reference of a variable that is itself a reference then you are taking a reference to the referenced value and not the reference variable itself. This is illustrated in the following example: What I think you meant to say, is that a value is not unset as long as it has at least one variable referencing it. You most certainly unset the reference if you apply unset to it, it is the value referenced that may remain.

[PHP] Some help with SimpleXML :`(
Hi foks,
Could someone lend me a little hand with simpleXML ?
I've been looking at examples in the PHP manual and W3C, i'm at the
pinnacle of figuring it out but alas i need a hand from the mailing
list dudes.
My aim is to add another "item" node, so i'll start with my XML file
called "items.xml"
Item.xml_
Red Gloves
a pair of red gloves
adult
12.99
Snow Boots
some snow boots
child
23.99
__
And now the PHP i'm using to create a new "item" node:
$xml = simplexml_load_file('items.xml');
$item = $xml->clothes->addChild('item');
$item->addChild('name', 'blue gloves');
$item->addChild('desc', 'some blue gloves');
$item->addChild('size', 'adult');
$item->addChild('price', '4.99');
__
The error i'm getting is: "Cannot add child. Parent is not a
permanent member of the XML tree"
Help me Gamesmaster!

If you're going to point the poster to the manual and *then* explain, that's the ideal way to do this. Now it could be argued that you could say, "Please refer to http://php.net/manual/en/whatever.php for more info." Or you could say, "RTFM". The former is more polite, but the latter will suffice. Both mean the same thing; one is simply more terse. Also stipulated that one should research a question as much as possible before posting to this list. We're not tutors; more like professional side-checkers. (Please don't take this the wrong way, newbies. You're welcome to ask questions here. Just do whatever research you can first, and follow our advice afterward, to RTFM.) Paul -- Paul M.

[PHP] Just a tip from one of your peers
I want this to come across in the nicest way possible. Please I mean no harm by my following statements. And if you decide to hate me and never to respond to one of my posts again, well, that is your choice. I, and others too I'd expect, would appreciate it if you didn't take a response email from one thread and change the subject thinking you are created a new thread. Because you are not. To those of us that use email clients or news readers that correctly display threads, things get lost in the mix of threads that get many levels deep. The initial topic for the thread that I am referring to is as follows Author Thread RRT [PHP] PHP pages won't open correctly on my server. David Stoltz[PHP] How to output a NULL field? David Stoltz[PHP] Date Comparison David Stoltz[PHP] Date +30 comparison Mind you that two of them were date related, but can anybody else see how things could get lost very quickly? I sure do.

Re: [PHP] Some help with SimpleXML :`(
You almost had it...
Since clothes is the root element you can think of your initial $xml as
. So, you add a child to it. That error message is kinda cryptic
though.
Red Gloves
a pair of red gloves
adult
12.99
Snow Boots
some snow boots
child
23.99
EOD;
$sxml = simplexml_load_string($xml);
$item = $sxml->addChild('item');
$item->addChild('name', 'Blue Gloves');
echo $sxml->asXML();

Even if the REGEXP has to change with every query?
Performance aside, I think REGEXP() could be used here, but not in the
way you've suggested. As the OP has described his table, your regex
("^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$") won't match any rows, because all of his product
IDs have non-alphanumeric characters in them.
Suppose this table:
pk | prod_id
1 | 07-ABCD-98
2 | 98-ZCXQ-21
And now suppose the OP's scenario, where a user tries to search on
product id, but enters "07ABCD98".
If the aim is to use REGEXP() to return row 1, I suppose you could
intersperse the search string with ".?" sequences and end up with this
query:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE prod_id REGEXP '^0.?7.?A.?B.?C.?D.?9.?8$'
I think just stripping the alphanumeric characters would end up being
more flexible, though.

The OP talked about search strings where multiple characters had been omitted from different parts of the product id.

RE: [PHP] Searching on AlphaNumeric Content Only
> Even if the REGEXP has to change with every query? Ben, it does not matter, this is not a PHP problem but a DB structure/select/insert/update problem. Whatever REGEXP you use, a REGEXP is what you need to solve this problem, certainly not a PHP loop over each row with operations for each rows. These things are OK if you do not know REGEXP or REGEXP MySQL syntax, but in this case you should ask for the correct REGEXP rather than talk about performances, obviously slower outside MySQL and via a runtime interpreted language as PHP is, or other solutions which aim is to end up with something that just emulate a select with REGEXP.

Re: [PHP] Searching on AlphaNumeric Content Only
Thanks to everyone who has responded. After reading everyone's response, I think I have a very simple way to solve my "problem". Using my original example, if someone wants to find item # 4D-2448-7PS, no matter what they type in, I'll take the input, strip out all non-alphanumeric characters to make it 4D24487PS, add the wildcard character between each of the remaining characters like so, 4*D*2*4*4*8*7*P*S, and then do the search. Still being new at this, it seems to be the simplest approach, or is my thinking flawed? This also keeps me from having to add another field in the db to search on. BTW, this solution needs to work with any db, even ASCII files, so it has to happen in PHP.

The phrase RTFM is something I don't like to tell people, and from what I remember, I have never said that to anyone. However I can understand where one could read a person's question and deduce that they did NO research for themselves. Instead, they posted their question for others to do their research for them because they were too lazy to do it themselves. No matter how you cut that, that's lame. So, I certainly don't blame anyone for telling such a person to RTFM. I would suggest that when a question asked here causes you to respond with RTFM, don't respond at all. Save yourself the time and trouble and save the person asking the question the grief of being insulted. Well that's your prerogative to do as you want. But it's a bit arrogant of you to tell others how to conduct themselves on this list, don't you think? Who made you list monitor? And Tedd your condescending response caused me to lose respect for you. No offense, but let me make this perfectly clear -- I don't give a rat's ass what you think about me. From my perspective, you could win the lottery or die tomorrow, it makes no difference to me either way. I'm not here to win/lose your respect. I'm here to help those who ask honest questions. I, like many others, simply donate our time freely without any benefit whatsoever. If you have problems with that, then you probably have bigger problems elsewhere. I'm sure the OP would have been more than thankful to receive the same response without the RTFM. I'll read any response to this, but I won't have anything more to say. This list has been polluted enough lately with nonsense. Incredible. What's Incredible is how people can post to this list thinking that they have some right to post whatever they want and expect others to comment as they want. And, if they don't get what they want, then they whine about the list being rude and mean. That's Incredible. My advice, if you have problems with this list, get over it!

Re: [PHP] Magento shows blank page.
Dear Ashley.
Firstly, thank you very much for your respond.
I uncommented this part of '/etc/php.ini':
"
display_errors
Default Value: On
Development Value: On
Production Value: Off
".
The result is my magento shows this in my webbrowser:
"
.:
Fatal error: Method Varien_Object::__tostring() cannot take arguments
in /var/www/html/magento/lib/Varien/Object.php on line 488
"
So I had a look into the '/var/www/html/magento/lib/Varien/Object.php
on line 488':
from line of 484-510:
"
...
public function __toString(array $arrAttributes = array(),
$valueSeparator=',') {
$arrData = $this->toArray($arrAttributes);
return implode($valueSeparator, $arrData);
}
/**
* Public wrapper for __toString
*
* Will use $format as an template and substitute {{key}} for
attributes *
* @param string $format
* @return string
*/
public function toString($format='')
{
if (empty($format)) {
$str = implode(', ', $this->getData());
} else {
preg_match_all('/\{\{([a-z0-9_]+)\}\}/is', $format,
$matches); foreach ($matches[1] as $var) {
$format = str_replace('{{'.$var.'}}',
$this->getData($var), $format); }
$str = $format;
}
return $str;
}
...
".
Sigh. I still don't understand where the problem located.
Please tell me what problem is it actualy?

The correct wildcard syntax to work in any DB (Oracle, MySQL, MSSQL, etc), is % and not * if I remember correctly. Searching like this is ok but won't be efficient when you have a lot of rows. As for external file processing txt, csv, etc... I recommend you create a separate mechanism for it since each storage medium is meant for different purposes. txt (both delimited and fix formatted) and csv are usually meant for importing/exporting between various RDBMS types and different companies. They're not mean for fast searching of data. I suggest you think about the amount of the data you have to deal with 1st and how often will the search be done on that data. It's probably easier and faster just to import the ascii into db and do you search on db if you have to work with any ascii. As for adding another field to the db, perhaps your project just started? If so, wouldn't it be better to do it with the future in mind so later you won't have to go back and redesign the db and modify the codes because now you have over 100k rows to search and the search occurs just about every other hits? That time you now have could be used for code optimizing for better performance, add more features/functionalities to the site, etc... :) Trust me, searching the db table with over 200k rows and return the results with multi-table joins based 1 criteria isn't fun. Keep in mind that you shouldn't keep the users waiting more than 5 seconds. Only exception to that rule is data mining where you'll have millions of rows to work with ;) Then it's no longer your problem.

[PHP] reply to all
Hi all, As you've probably noticed, I'm new the list. My apologies if you're getting duplicates+ from my responses. I just realized now that PHP lists doesn't strip out other e-mail addresses other than the list's. The other lists I subscribe to does this automatically and I've taken it for granted. I'll keep my eyes open wider for future e-mails to php lists :) Thanks, Tommy -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Your expression, if used to directly search in your SQL table, won't
work. The '*' character isn't a valid wildcard for SQL. In PostgreSQL,
the wildcard for any number of characters is '%', and for a single
character is '_'. I don't know that MySQL understands this same
convention. And who knows about Oracle.
As others have mentioned, it would be ideal (though not very
"normalized") to create a new table column which contains the
alphanumerics without the punctuation characters ('-'). In nearly any
SQL dialect, you could do a simple SELECT using LIKE to find your item,
if you're searching on this extra field.
If you want do the searching in PHP, then it becomes more complicated.
You'll have to strip out the dashes from the user input, and then query
all the keys from your table, and test them using a regular expression.
As mentioned before, this is time-consuming for a large table.
Here's something else to consider: Could there ever be two items which
only differ by the placement of their dashes? Like 4D-2448-7PS versus
4D2-44-87PS? If not, then you should store the item number without
punctuation, and use that as the primary key on your table. Have an
"extra" field which shows the item number with dashes. You can use this
extra field in printing inventory labels or whatever (I don't recall the
context of your original post).

I haven't had any experience with Magento but I've had nothing but bad experiences with PHP's CGI/FCGI. For security reasons, it's strongly recommended that you'll have to use doc_root in the ini. This however will break some of my apps running in virtual directory mappings of the physical directory outside doc_root in both IIS and Apache. So I went back to ISAPI and Apache Filter.

RE: [PHP] Searching on AlphaNumeric Content Only
stripping, stemming, spelling corrections ? ... uhm, that's probably why they invented regular expressions, isn't it? As I said, at the end of the day, this will be a manual slow, potentially wrong implementation of what we already have and use on daily basis. But obviously, everybody is free to create his own problems, no doubts about that.

Re: [PHP] Magento shows blank page.
After googling.
I followed this thread:
"
http://spikomoko.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/magento-not-working-on-php-5-3/
".
But then, I'm bounched on this error in my webbrowser for visitting my
magento on my production server desktop:
"
.:
Fatal error: Call to a member function createDirIfNotExists() on a
non-object in /var/www/html/magento/app/Mage.php on line 644
".
Please keep telling me, where is the mistake.
Thank you very much.

If you've got a regular-expression-based method in mind that simply nails the OP's problem, please share. I'm still not seeing how "regular expressions" is a sufficient answer to the OP's problem, which is basically fuzzy search. My sense is that regular expressions are for situations where you basically know just what you're searching for, but don't really know where it falls in your search space. The OP, on the other hand, is building a system where he won't know just what he's searching for -- all he'll know is that his search key is "sort of like" the thing he actually needs to find. You might be able to squeeze this problem, or at least some part of it, into a regex-based solution, but I don't think it's a natural fit.
