I really like this js library.

It's based off of jquery or prototype... I can't remember.

JQuery and Mootools are two very different approaches of creating a  
JavaScript framework. Both shine in different ways.


I use JQuery when I want to get things done quickly (using the Yii  
framework or on custom projects).  I use mootols when I develop  
Joomla! Extensions and it's amazing.  Which is more suitable boils  
down to what your project needs.


I'm messing around with Ext at the moment and it's really nice too!

The ultimate answer to your question is; "it depends".

Fwd: [PHP] Re: ErrorException and set_exception_handler()

Subject: RE: [PHP] Re: ErrorException and set_exception_handler()
To: rquadl...@googlemail.com


I understood exactly what was going on in the code! (I'm no fool when
it comes to this) I just thought (logically) that if the ERROR_HANDLER
forces you to end the script when necessary, that the
EXCEPTION_HANDLER would have a similar function... Rather, there is
not a way at all to continue execution. Now that I contemplate this
further, I think I prefer this anyway as I would NOT want errors
firing for ANY reason on a production website! Additionally when one
error happens it often triggers a number of errors (if execution
continues) and when logging of course they are all logged. I would
rather have just the one backtraced error log, and so forth.


Thank you for your help however! It is much appreciated.

[PHP] Parsing JSON; back-slash problem

[Andrew Burgess]

This seems like a pretty basic question, but it has me stumped.

Here's my scenario: I'm using Douglas Crockford's JSON2.js to parse an
object in JavaScript, which I then pass to a PHP script to store in a
file. I use JSON.stringify() on the object, which logs to the console
as this:

{"employees":{"data":{"John":{"fname":"John","lname":"Doe","city":"Toronto","country":"Canada"

Then I use the jQuery POST function to send it to a PHP script. Before
doing anything with it in PHP, I log the received value to the
console, and this is what I get:

{\"employees\":{\"data\":{\"John\":{\"fname\":\"John\",\"lname\":\"Doe\",\"city\":\"Toronto\",\"country\":\"Canada\"

The problem is, when I call the script to retrieve this data from a
file, JSON.parse can't parse it because of the back-slashes. I'm
pretty sure my problem is on the PHP side (since it's fine coming out
of JS); what do I need to do to fix this? is a preg_replace enough?

[PHP] Debian Lenny: Which 5.3 package should I use?

[Wouter van Vliet / Interpotential]

Hi Guys & Gals,

I've been playing around with PHP 5.3 for a while now on development servers
and servers solely used for start-ups and lower-profile apps. But now I'm
about to upgrade the servers for a high profile/high traffic website and
with this upgrade I'd also like to make the switch from 5.2 to 5.3. But -
which package should I choose? I want to rely on community tested builds, so
compiling myself is out of the question.

The server will run on Debian Lenny. The Two and a Half options I've been
able to find are:

  DotDeb:
http://www.dotdeb.org/2009/12/06/the-php-5-3-1-packages-have-been-updated/
  Debian Experimental: http://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/php5
  ~raaa Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~raaa/+archive/ppa

Are there any others? Which is the best when it comes to:

   - Security?
   - Stability?
   - Ease of upgrade to Debian Squeeze later next year?

Thanks in advance for any help you're able to offer!

Regards,
Wouter

I've always been led to believe that you go with MySQL if you want
speed, Oracle if you want data integrity. I know they both handle each
one admirably, but Oracle is known more for guarding the data against
mishaps and MySQL is known more for performance. I just think it may be
a little early to be condemning Oracle yet, we should wait a little to
at least see what stance they have on the whole thing. And before you
ask, no I have no connection to Oracle, I'm an avid MySQL fan!

Turn off magic quotes, as it looks like they are enabled on your server.
You can turn them off from the .htaccess file if you don't have access
to the php.ini

Are you sure you can't use DOM? It has a function specifically for
parsing HTML that "does not have to be well-formed to load."

http://www.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.loadhtml.php


If that doesn't work, you might look at Zend_Filter_StripTags in ZF. I
don't know if it will do exactly what you're after, but it seems to be
more flexible than the strip_tags function built into PHP.

Re: [PHP] strip tags but preserve title attributes

[Wouter van Vliet / Interpotential]

I've had quite some luck using the html2text class by Jon Abernathy

   http://www.chuggnutt.com/html2text.php

It's targetted to php 4, and rather old code - but it does the job for me.
Where the 'job for me' is converting html to text for when I'm sending out
emails in HTML format and want to offer the proper plain text alternative.

To be honest, I haven't checked how it handles title/alt attributes on
images - but I'm confident that it does it nicely, and if it doesn't that
you can add it yourself.

And if that doesn't suit your needs - you might want to take a look at this:

And if you absolutely want to be on the safe side - check* if the

Oh, that would be "my" preference. However, the database that I really need to 
connect to is an MSSQL one and the allowed connection type is ODBC. I was just 
testing first with a MySQL connection to get it working (I don't have the MSSQL 
credentials yet). Turned out I was VERY close with my solution, which a 
coworker figured out this morning. The [ODBC Data Sources] entry for MySQL 
needed to specified correctly in /etc/odbc.ini.

[ODBC Data Sources]
MySQL = MySQL

[MySQL]
Description...
Driver...

I could have sworn I tried that, but who knows

I would optimize this though.

($item->getServiceId() || $item->getId())

Unless you REALLY need to call $item->getServiceId() twice.

So, this should be a little easier to say.

Along those lines of "it depends"... to my knowledge, most of the larger/more 
popular js frameworks consider other libraries when being developed. Meaning, 
the chances of a naming conflict are lowered. Not that I recommend it, but it 
does allow for using multiple libraries for a single project - that's another 
thread.

I can't speak for the other libraries, but I know that MooTools is constantly 
being updated and improved. I doubt that it will be leaving anytime soon. Check 
out some extended functionality of MooTools... Clientcide. It's created by the 
same author of MooTools to work with it.

You can use a DNS-string too ...

odbc_pconnect("Driver={SQL Server Native Client
10.0};Server={$s_Server};Database={$s_DB};MARS_Connection=Yes;",
$s_User, $s_Pswd, SQL_CUR_USE_DRIVER);

PostgreSQL generally matches MySQL in performance, and maintains
referential integrity (foreign keys and such) without the need for
multiple backend storage engines.

Do you have a default stream context defined for the http stream?

A _LONG_ time ago, when I was using a firewall with NTLM
authentication (which PHP doesn't deal with), I had to route all my
calls through a local proxy.

This was the code I had ...

 array( // All HTTP requests are passed through the 
local
NTLM proxy server on port 8080.
'proxy' => 'tcp://127.0.0.1:8080',
'request_fulluri' => True,
),
)
);

// Though we said system wide, some extensions need a little coaxing.
libxml_set_streams_context($r_default_context);


Now, you may not see this in your code, but may be in a script which
is loaded via auto_prepend_file.

I would also suggest running something like WireShark at the same time
as your script. See if there is ANY traffic over the wire.

Do the cURL and file_get_contents() code generate identical requests?

I'm looking for a way to strip HTML tags out of some text content

some basic analysis on. The thing is, I want to preserve text that is in

valid HTML.

I'm happy doing this with string functions and regular expressions, but
I was wondering if something for this already existed? The server I plan

Sounds easy with a simple regex expression, certainly easier than twisting a 
class or DOM function to do the job.


How do you want to retain the text that is in the alt and title attributes? What

I've never used the html2text library, but simplehtmldom is very easy

Re: [PHP] Class not functioning

[Allen McCabe]

Hey all (and Nirmalya, thanks for the help!),


I have a question that I just can't seem to find via Google.

I want to be able to add messages to a qeue whenever my classes complete (or
fail to complete) specific functions. I think have a call within my html to
my Notifier class to print all qeued messages (via a function 'printQ').

How do I access a globally instantiated class from within another class?

Example:

deleteSingle($id, 1); // This completes a function within
Meetgreet class. That function needs to be able to use the Notifier function
addtoQ(), how would this be accomplished?

?>
...
...

printQ()  ?>

Re: [PHP] can't retrieve more than 1 record at the time still

Thank you so  much for sending me in the right direction.  I've 
re-written the first part of the script using PDO statements and it 
works great.

Hi Again,

Following the suggestions I received from a earlier post, I've closed the
statement
while ($stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOUND))
before $stmt = NULL;
I don't get an error anymore, but still retrieve only one record.

To check that the array was being filled correctly, I inserted in several
places $ncand = count($_SESSION['numberCand']);
$ndocid = count($_SESSION['DOCIDs']);
and the count is always 0 for $ndocid and 1 for $ncand.
Now I believe that the array is not being filled, and that's why only the
last record gets processed. Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong in the for
each statement?  The updated code is below.
Thank you for your help.

my query limits the retrieval to one record, the script works, but if I try

Several ways to do it.  One would be to make the Meetgreet a singleton
if it really is, and then use its static getInstance.  I would probably
use a registry pattern though.

Re: [PHP] Class not functioning

[Wouter van Vliet / Interpotential]

Allen,

The short answer (but don't follow this):
addToQ( .. );
  }
}
?>

The long(er) answer:
I assume your Notifier object functions as singleton? Ie; accross your
entire application, there is only one instance of that class?

Why not go-static? That is, to my experience, the sweetest way to make
something globally accessible - without making something global. Like so



Does that work for you?

Wouter

Re: [PHP] Class not functioning

[Allen McCabe]

Wouter,

Implementing your static idea was pretty easy, I was already referencing
Notifier with the :: operator in my other methods, however I am running into
trouble assigning new values to the static array.

I am getting a "syntax error, unexpected '[' " on this line of my Notifier
class:

Notifier::notifyQ[] = '

Wish it were, but my test code is bare bones.

cURL -- both PHP and command-line -- fetches files and URLs (remote and local) 
w/o issues. file_get_contents() fetches files, but fails on all URLs (remote 
and local). This is why I believe the problem lies with the machine's 
configuration and not the Firewall.

It's pretty confounding, isn't it? I'm not sure what to do at this point.

w/o issues. file_get_contents() fetches files, but fails on all URLs (remote

That's the problem, area itself isn't visible, so giving a CSS class won't
highlight it.
