RE: [PHP] Re: Converting tables into forms
[snip]What are aiming to do that something like PHPMyAdmin doesn't do?[/snip] The OP never really answered this, but I don't think you can use PHPMyAdmin to automate the generation of forms from every table in a database. You could use the function I supplied in a loop to read each table and spit out a form (either write a file or do it on the fly) for those tables. The original intent of my function was to never have to worry about table structure ever again, just read the table info and generate a form on the fly. Never would a form have to be hard coded again. The basis for this script was begun 10 years ago, the one I provided to the list was last updated in 2006 as a generic handler that really needed much more work. It could be used as a stand-alone function or as part of a class. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

When I first looked at the site, I did not see any of these problems. But then I took a look at the page source and quickly figured out I already have the solution. 1. Install Firefox. 2. Install the NoScript add-on. 3. Under NoScript options, clean out the default white list, removing all of the .com sites. 4. Still in the options, on the Embedded tab, forbid everything except iframes. But, then again, maybe you want to forbid iframes as well. Then, as you browse, decide where and when to allow these features. I always do it on a temporary basis per site, so they get disabled again each time I start up the browser.

There is a situation when common-sense can fail...
if( $a && $b = do_something() )
The problem here is the precedence between && and =
The correct sentence will be...
if( $a && ($b = do_something()) )

Hi Matthew, you might have magic quotes enabled in your PHP installation. Have a look at http://php.net/manual/de/security.magicquotes.php about that topic.

Assignment operations in PHP have the "side effect" of returning the
assignment. For example:
function return_false() {
return false;
}
var_dump(return_false()); //bool(false);
var_dump($a = return_false()); //bool(false);
var_dump($a = 1); // int(1)
var_dump($a = "hello world!"); //string...
So the same thing that allows you to do:
$a = $b = $c = $d = 154;
which works because "$d = 154" returns 154, which is assigned to $c,
which returns 154... is how assignment in conditionals or looping
works:
if($a = return_false()) { }
var_dump($a); //bool(false)
if($a = "hello") {}
var_dump($a); //string, "hello"
So what's really happening is the return value of the expression "$a =
" is evaluated and that's used to determine the truth of the
conditionality. if($a = return_false()) is exactly the same thing as
if(return_false()) save for you "capture" the output of the function,
rather than just allow the conditional operator to see it. It's
functionally equivalent to $a = return_false(); if($a) {} but it's
important to understand that __assigning a variable to a value in PHP
is an expression with a return value___ and that return value is the
value that you assigned to the variable.

To all:
Okay, I found the problem.
The directory that contained the above script had a .htaccess file
that required authorization before running any script in that
directory -- and -- that authorization script had a trailing space.
As it turned out, there was nothing wrong with the script I was
working on and thus my confusion as to why it stopped working. It
simply stopped working because the authorization script in the
directory had been changed.
Many thanks to all who contributed.

[PHP] What PHP version are you using?
Hi Guys, I just want to conduct a quick survey to find out what version of PHP people are using in their production environments. I have a PHP extension for Solr that I have set the minimum required version as 5.2.11. http://pecl.php.net/package/solr/ However, most of the PHP users that want to use it are unable to do so because the PHP version in the PROD environments is below 5.2.11 They are also nervous about upgrading to newer versions as it will require some regression testing. In my production environment I am using 5.3.0 and most of the people that I have contacted seems to be running 5.2.10 When I released the extension, I did all my regression tests against PHP 5.2.11 and now I am considering doing regression tests against 5.2.4 (released 30 August 2007) and newer versions so that I can set the minimum required version to 5.2.4 in order to accommodate more people. I cannot go below 5.2.0 though but I am thinking about starting at 5.2.4 and newer. I would really appreciate some feedback as it will be useful in helping me determine which PHP version numbers to do my regression tests against. Thanks. -- "Good Enough" is not good enough.

Don't forget that while you're rewriting the URLs, all the work is being done server-side. The browser thinks that the location of the document it is being served is in the path that the user typed into the location bar, so all relative links are relative to that.

Like Israel it depends on the client I am doing several projects for a client now that the hosting company is still using 4.0.6 - and its been a headache.

Re: [PHP] Re: UrlRewrite htaccess confusion
You can use a regexp for search and replace in your files. packages.php?category=([^&]+)&year=([^&]+)&title=([^&]+) The problem is those values are variables on the code. As Shawn said, it is easier to provide some function to create links.If you need to change all links you only change the function and the work is done. cheers, On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 2:31 PM, Shawn McKenzie wrote: > Shawn McKenzie wrote: > > Rob Gould wrote: > >> You are indeed correct!

[PHP] please help with regular expression in preg_replace
hello, im not a php developer, i just need to rewrite one php file but having problem with understanding syntax of regexp in php. i need to get domain name from fqdn (for example from $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ) in sed its working well with "s/[^.]*\.//" , but preg_replace behaves weird. http_host is for example hostname.domain.com return "domain.com", but return only "com" i think when this php page get many hits, its not so wise to call sed everytime, i would like to ask someone for help how to write preg_replace pattern. thanx Rene
Re: [PHP] please help with regular expression in preg_replace
Hi Rene, This looks suspiciously like regex's "greedy" behaviour - it will gobble up everything that matches until you tell it otherwise. For example, your regex is matching "any character that isn't a dot, followed by a dot." In host.domain.com, both "host." and "domain." match this regex - and because your regex is "greedy" it's grabbing both, leaving you with "com". Try adding the "ungreedy" modifier to your regex, like so: $domain = preg_replace( '/[^.]*\./U' , '', $host); (note the additional U in your regex.)
