But a lot of people won't see those warnings until they run 5.3.0 for the first time. It is common practice, at least in all the other languages that I have used, that is something is going to be removed that it is marked as deprecated at the start of the previous release, not at the end. So marking the POIX functions as deprecated should have happened in 5.0, not 5.3. >>> You don't think PHP should support legacy cruft in the core forever do >>> you? >> >> Widely use regex functions are not "legacy cruft".

Other people think that PHP should be rewritten so that it appears more like their favourite language.

Tony Marston wrote: How many hosting companies write to all their account holders to ask permission before upgrading PHP, not just from 4 to 5, but all the releases in between? Very few of them, if any, in my experience. I've no idea what horrible hosting companies you've had experiences with, however all of the companies I've used in the last few years have had an option to move back and forth between PHP4 and PHP5 in the event that certain scrips/frameworks/apps/whatever required one version over the other. What makes you think these companies won't do the same thing when they finally decide to add PHP6 to their servers? I doubt very many reputable hosting companies would simply upgrade to the latest flavor of PHP/Apache/MySQL/anything simply because it was released this morning without doing ample internal testing; if you or your clients are using one that does this - I'd advise you look elsewhere. Whenever PHP6 reaches a stable release build, it will still be quite some time before its offered as an option to any mainstream shared hosting service - this should leave you ample time to adapt to incoming changes. Failing that, you always have the option of purchasing your own server or VPS from any number of hosts to configure as you see fit. Or you can explain your moral outrage to potential clients detailing your refusal to work because you disagree with a proposed change that won't see the light of day for years to come; your call. Incessant whining under the guise of expressing your own opinion isn't going to make everything better. Sorry.

Ali Asghar Toraby Parizy wrote: Ok, thanks but how can i create serial number that nobody can guess it. for example when i use sha1() every body can examine it too! and so they can create it themselves! what strategy is useful to protect license? Ahh, so you are trying to protect your PHP code with a license key? If so, then here are my thoughts on it. - Don't bother encrypting the license key too much. Your code will be available as source code so it will be possible to circumvent any protection/limitation. - Even file validation like creating md5suma of files is nothing but headache because some FTP servers and clients will modify the source by adjusting the end of line characters (binary upload prevents this). - I have noticed that most customers will not mess with the scripts since they want support from you. Remove all comments from the source and the end of line characters to prevent the hobby tinkerer from causing problems. - The problem with people messing with the code is that they usually don't start a support request with "I changed something and now feature X does not work..." but rather with "All the sudden feature X stopped working". - People who have the goal to circumvent your license code will do so regardless of protection and will see sophisticated protection as a challenge. So I don't bother with encryption of the information since implementing something secure will usually mean that it will get in the way of honest customers. Look at computer games, it is a prime example of copy protection interfering with honest customers by causing problems. All I do is generate a license code which contains a string (name or customer id) and configuration values. The license code can be decoded via a function and validated. So I turn the string AsgharToraby100C into this=> 0B50B-50B54-MSDD2-OMPDD-OMI33 Here 100C is the license value, the customer has a 100 client access license. The key has built in , very basic, validation bits to validate the key as a whole. The script can decode the license key via a function to retrieve the max authenticated user (100) before allowing new logins. The string part can be decoded as well but capitalization is lost. Here are a few license code functions I wrote many years ago. Maybe something like this will work/is what you are looking for. ... well actually ... I just looked at the code, I wrote it about 6 years, and I am bit embarrassed of how I handled a few things :) But the code is solid, it has been in use since then and I have not noticed any problems :) So let me know if this sounds like something you are looking for and would like to see and I will cleanup the code for you. -- John Intelligent Life http://xkcd.com/638/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Anyone using Aptana and Xdebug? Or other debugger recommendations besides Zend?
PHP List, I won't go into a big rant about Zend, and instead simply say that while I was using Zend Studio to debug PHP pages since version 5.0. I was never really all that happy with it. It seemed to be the most complete debugging environment for PHP, so I put up with it. I will say that the Studio installation procedure has got better, but setting up a reliable debugging server has not. Now, the current version of Zend Studio (7.0) is based on Eclipse (I think since v6.0), and so I'm just not sure what I'm paying for anymore. Aptana Studio, also based on Eclipse has pretty much the exact same interface and can even connect to a Zend server. Since one of those is free, I can't see why I wouldn't switch. The issue for me is that paying for Zend hasn't really saved me much hassle, so even if Aptana has difficulties, at least they are free difficulties. The main failing point, so far as I can see, of Aptana/Xdebug, is a lack of good, clear, documentation (also note that Zend doesn't have great documentation either). Especially on how to set it up. I was wondering if anyone has used it and could provide a link or instructions on how to get the debugging environment up and running. Or, equally as valuable, would be recommendations on other debugging environments. The key is finding one that has a clear set of instructions for how to set it up (On Ubuntu/Debian Linux with a local LAMP server.)

And what about something like this as an internal wrapper:
if(!function_exists('ereg_*'))
{
function ereg_*()
{
}
}
And you should at least try to test the code you write for your clients
on PHP6 if that is where it is going to be hosted before servers are
upgraded, even if it's just to find out if it will break and give you
time to fix it. Hell, you could probably charge for that if the client
absolutely has to be on a PHP6 server, as something like that would fall
outside the scope of future maintenance, unless of course you wrote your
code in full knowledge of the change that would happen in PHP6.

I will say that the Studio installation procedure has got better, but setting up a reliable debugging server has not. Now, the current version of Zend Studio (7.0) is based on Eclipse (I think since v6.0), and so I'm just not sure what I'm paying for anymore. Aptana Studio, also based on Eclipse has pretty much the exact same interface and can even connect to a Zend server. Since one of those is free, I can't see why I wouldn't switch. The issue for me is that paying for Zend hasn't really saved me much hassle, so even if Aptana has difficulties, at least they are free difficulties. The main failing point, so far as I can see, of Aptana/Xdebug, is a lack of good, clear, documentation (also note that Zend doesn't have great documentation either). Especially on how to set it up. I was wondering if anyone has used it and could provide a link or instructions on how to get the debugging environment up and running. Or, equally as valuable, would be recommendations on other debugging environments. The key is finding one that has a clear set of instructions for how to set it up (On Ubuntu/Debian Linux with a local LAMP server.) Thanks for any advice. Dave M G -- Dave, take a look at PhpED from Nusphere. I've used the Windows version very happily for the last 6 years. There is a Linux version but I haven't tried it so can't comment - from the forum I gather that most users use the Windows version. Debugging in PhpED is brilliant, but so is the rest of the IDE. I also looked at Zend Studio every now and then over the last few years to see how it was progressing, but wasn't that impressed.

You can use any text editor. I use SciTE. It is free and open source. It does not provide any tool of any kind. It just allow me to write code, and that's all I need. Also there are a lot of tools for development. And IDE is just a fat text editor with lot of tools on it, and in some cases it can make your development slower. You can improve your development with a set of lightweight tools, this is the linux style. -- Martin Scotta

Tony Marston wrote: "Robert Cummings" wrote in message Then you've got several options: 1) Don't upgrade PHP. Not an acceptable option. 2) Pick a different hosting provider. Not an acceptable optional. 3) Fix your scripts. The scripts aren't broken. It's PHP 6 that's going to be broken. I think you're missing the point of a full version increase. This is not a minor or micro version change... script breakage is *expected*. But breakage should be kept to an absolute minimum, and developer laziness or incompetence is not an acceptable excuse. Not quite true... major version moves are an opportunity to make a break for freedom. All there needs to be is an upgrade path... and that is clearly in play right now with the warning indicating that POSIX regex functions are being deprecated. But a lot of people won't see those warnings until they run 5.3.0 for the first time. It is common practice, at least in all the other languages that I have used, that is something is going to be removed that it is marked as deprecated at the start of the previous release, not at the end. So marking the POIX functions as deprecated should have happened in 5.0, not 5.3. This is PHP, it is not all the other languages you have used. That said, it will probably be at leats a year before PHP6 even thinks about being released. You don't think PHP should support legacy cruft in the core forever do you? Widely use regex functions are not "legacy cruft". Besides, who decides what is "cruft" and should be removed from the language? They most certainly are cruft. That is just your opinion. And the opposing opinion is your... all just opinions right?! Other people think that PHP should be rewritten so that it appears more like their favourite language. Among the suggestions I have seen are: - make all variables statically typed instead of dynamically typed. - remove all procedural functions and make the language "pure" OO. Who decides if they are right? The PHP team... primarily those who contribute to the PHP cod itself. Those people have earned the privilege of making final decisions. .. hence the reason they are being removed. The people who decide what is, and is not, cruft are the very same people who are writing the code. If you are not happy with this then there's the age old saying in open source... "put up or shut up". I can't because I don't program in C. So I shall do the nextbest thing - complain at every opporunity. Then learn C... I see later in this email you whine and moan about laziness... there is nothing stopping you from learning C but your own laziness. If you lack the time to contribute... then perhaps you should keep your mouth in check before calling the core developers lazy when they probably have similar time constraints. If unicode support is slopped onto the current POSIX regex functions won't that then make them non-POSIX? Food for thought. Also, why support two libraries for which one is obviously inferior in speed and functionality? That is why I suggested that instead of dropping the POSIX functions entirely and seriously annoying lots of users, that they should simply be rewritten as wrappers for the PCRE functions. In that way all the calls to ereg_* would still work, but all they would do is immediately call the relevant preg_* function. The small amount of effort that tghis would take would kill two birds with one stone: (1) There would be only one regex engine to support, which would be PCRE. (2) Lots of developers would be spared the hassle of modifying their code as all the calls to POSIX functions would still work as expected because the language would redirect to the PCRE function automatically. This would probably be worse than removing the POSIX functions. POSIX and PCRE I daresay are not completely compatible. "probably" and "daresay" mean that you are just guessing. According to some people who know what they are talking about there is a one-for-one comparison between each POSIX and each PCRE function. And you are certainly guessing also. The thing about the future is that it hasn't happened yet and so one can only provide opinion to predict the unfolding of events. At least when you remove the POSIX functions then the problem space is well defined. And lots of sers will be pissed off because they won'tbe able to upgrade to PHP 6 without major programmer intervention. This is opinion. Suddenly having POSIX regex functions that are really wrappers around PCRE functions may introduce subtle differences in output for the same horde of users but without the same explicability. "may introduce"? There you go, guessng again. Can you point out *any* POSIX function that cannot be converted into PCRE? No... I leave it to you to prove the reverse since YOU want the PHP team to provide the wrappers. Don't be lazy... do

YOU adapt to the language, otherwise YOUR scripts ARE broken.

There's no absolute way to stop the right click menu other than develop
completely in Flash, but I find this works quite well:
The way you are hiding the actual link URL will work for people who
navigate solely with their mouse, but you might want to add an onfocus()
handler in there as well for people who tab between links.
At the end of the day though, none of this will stop someone from
viewing your source code for the link, or using a browser plugin like
Firebug to determine what it is.

I can think of one perfectly good reason. Perhaps this is a simple
attempt at forcing an app to work all within a single window, and
prevent it from breaking by the end user opening new windows and tabs
from the link.
Before rushing to defend your castle, it might be helpful to consider if
it really is an invading army at your gates.

[PHP] Build Categories based on an static Array
I am trying to build a SELECT MENU (with categories). I cant seem to
get the syntax correct. Little help:
// Get Areas values for MENU
$AreasList = "";
$queryR = array(0 => 'Domestic','International','Special');
while($rowR = $queryR->fetch_assoc()) {
$AreasList .= "";
$Area_Type = $rowR['Area_Type'];
$query2 = "SELECT Area_id,Area FROM Areas WHERE
`Area_Type`='$Area_Type' ORDER BY Area";
$results2 = $db->query($query2) or die("No Area found.");
while($row2 = $results2->fetch_assoc()) {
$AreasList .= "value='{$row2['Area_id']}'>{$row2['Area']}";
}
$AreasList .= "";
}
$AreasList .= "";

RE: [PHP] Build Categories based on an static Array

Use it like this:

* very useful for boolean type listboxes too.
* also useful to save DB queries for supporting tables.

actual select box if $echo == true.

height.

* @paramarray $listArray The actual key => value formatted array.
* @paramboolean $blank add the extra 'empty' .
* @paramboolean $auto onChange will cause a form submit if true.
* @paramstring $MatchToThis sometimes it is useful to match $name to
something like $_GET['name'] instead. it is array safe too!
* @paramstring $extratags Any extra CLASS='' or MULTIPLE or whatever
to put in the tag.
* @param boolean $indent When using an array of arrays, the sub arrays
will be grouped using . If you want to disable the indent when
$size is greater than 1, change this to false.
* @paramboolean $echo Output the selectbox in place (true) or return
it as a string
