[PHP] Beginner's question: How to run a PHP web application locally?

2010-04-08 Thread Bastien Helders
Hi List,

The other day, I read an article that mentioned about a tool that would
permit to simulate a web environment for PHP, so that testing could be made
before uploading the page on the server. Unfortunately, I don't seem to find
the article again.

So here am I with this question: What should I need to set my test
environment? I'm working on Windows, but I'm all ears for solution on Linux
systems.

Best Regards,
Bastien

The easiest thing is to set up a local web server on your machine to
test with. This isn't as daunting as it sounds, as there are a lot of
ways you can get this set up with a minimum of fuss. The easiest to use
software I've used for Windows was EasyPHP, which is basically a WAMP
stack that is GUI all the way, allows easy add/drop of extra modules,
and now ever comes with an English installer (it used to be all in
French which made it a little tricky to understand!)

Otherwise, if you want to try the Linux route you can set this up on a
second machine, dual-boot with Windows or run inside a virtual machine
(Virtual Machine OSE is open source and free to use). I've not seen a
Linux distribution yet that didn't offer Apache and PHP. Generally a web
server will run something like Fedora, RedHat or CentOS, so using one of
those will get you a very similar set-up.

Thanks,

I'm not too sure that WAMP would be the best option for Linux :p

That's the ticket. The solution is pretty simple now that we
understand the nature of the problem.  :-)

you should expect array(

  'Text Message' => 31

Logically, combine_array() will work to combine the two arrays as you 
said, as shown here:


http://www.webbytedd.com//array-combine/

I've tried rsort(), but is does not solve the problem presented, 
which was to sort the items depending upon their values.


Thus far, my solution is the only one that works.

A couple of IDEs have web servers built in (NuSphere PhpED is the only one I
can remember at the moment) which can generally be used to preview your
applications offline, although you might struggle to get it running if it
requires a database connection, depending on your hosting config (my hosting
will only allow local connections to the DB). 

 

Alternatively, something like EasyPHP http://www.easyphp.org/ makes it very
easy to get a LAMP server set-up going on your machine, so you could drop
your app into the www folder and navigate to localhost on your web browser
to view it. Stick some dummy data in the db and you have a fully functional
version of your app running on your machine.

Yes, but looking for alternative array sorts in the manual will lead
you to arsort().  :-)

 '75',
  2 => '31',
  3 => '31',
  4 => '31',
  5 => '40',
);

$b = array
(
  1 => 'Personal Email',
  2 => 'Personal Phone',
  3 => 'Web site',
  4 => 'Text Message',
  5 => 'USPS mail',
);

$x = array_combine($b, $a);
var_export($x);
/*
array (
  'Personal Email' => '75',
  'Personal Phone' => '31',
  'Web site' => '31',
  'Text Message' => '31',
  'USPS mail' => '40',
)
*/

echo "\n";

arsort($x);

[PHP] Little php code - error

2010-04-08 Thread Juan
Hi guys,
I'm having trouble with the following little php code [0]. The output
from the server is : "
* Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in file.php on line 27 *

Let's assume that file.php is the file that is giving me some troubles.

The structure is pretty easy to understand, however I'm not able to
solve this. Could you tell me why I'm not able to run this code.

I'm running PHP5, Apache2, and Ubuntu 9.10 with sqlite, as you could see.

Thanks a lot,

Its your if's, elseif's, else's.  You have "and", change that to &&.

Sorry, I gave you bad information...

Its the else line.  else doesn't take a condition after it.  it should just
be "else {".

Your else has a condition on it

} else (empty($b) and empty($c)) {

Should be

} else {

BTW, the "and" is fine.

Unless he actually wants to do something with that condition, in which

The easiest way to spot these sorts of problems is by indenting the code
so that the opening brace matches up with the closing one:

function
{
if(condition)
{
statement
}
else
{
foreach(var as var2)
{
more statements
}
}
}

Yes, it takes up a lot more lines, but a few line break characters
aren't going to impact on the size of the file, and all the while it's
very easy to read. If you've accidentally missed out a closing brace
you'll spot it immediately.

It's called the Allman style and has another advantage. Consider:

if(condition)
{
statement
}

You can comment out the if statement and the braces won't cause an
error:

//if(condition)
{
statement
}

Whereas doing the same with the BSD KNF style that many favour you would
hit a problem of mismatched braces:

//if(condition){
statement
}

In the OP's case, his error was syntax (a condition after an else
clause). But I don't know that even a syntax-highlighting editor would

I get a couple of errors like this one for undefined variable:

And this one for undefined contstant

PHP Notice:  Use of undefined constant account_type - assumed 'account_type'

 

I am putting a piece of code from each so that hopefully someone can explain

eliminate error/warnings as much as possible.

That's your culprit.  You'll need quotes around those.  $auth["username"],
"user_email", "account_type", "company_name"

Otherwise, it thinks they are constants that haven't been defined:
php.net/define

Your function f_option_menu() includes some global variables but nowhere
in that function is s_company_name ever declared, so PHP is throwing an
undefined warning at you.

Also, it appears that you are referencing $_POST variables as globals.
It's recommended that you turn off register_globals, as this can be a
massive security risk if someone overrides one of your variables by
sending their own data at your form. The preferred way is to reference
the variables as $_POST['variable_name']

2010-04-08 Thread Andre Polykanine
Hello Jack,

I have tons of errors like this and now I'm eliminating them, so I'll
tell what to do:
1. Put apostrophes (single quotes) around the array item:
$auth['company_name'] instead of $auth[company_name];
2. (Just a suggestion) It's better to put the SQL tables and
fields between grave accents (backquotes).

But if you do that then you will have to remove them again when you

[PHP] No notices for undefined index

So the first two print statements generate NO notices, while the second
obviously generates:

Notice: Undefined offset:  1 in /home/shawn/www/test.php on line 11

Notice: Undefined index:  test in /home/shawn/www/test.php on line 12

This sucks.  A bug???

I think this goes back to the C style strings, where a string is just a
collection of characters. I've noticed that in PHP you can treat a
string as if it were an array of characters, so I guess in both cases
above, it would be trying to return the second character, which is the
termination character or a chr(0).

In the second example, you've explicitely declared $a to be an array, so
PHP creates a proper index for it, and then when you ask for an element
that is not in that index list, it throws a notice at you.

RE: [PHP] No notices for undefined index

2010-04-08 Thread Bob McConnell
In the first case, $a=5 creates a multi-typed variable. The interpreter
makes its best guess how the next two expressions should be interpreted.
In both cases, they look a lot like an index into a character array
(string), and 'test' evaluates numerically to zero. Both are valid
offsets for a string, so no messages are generated.

In the second case, $a is explicitly declared as an array. This give the
interpreter a lot more detail to work from. The two expressions are now
an index and a key for the array. But both of them evaluate to offsets
that have not been assigned, which raises a flag and creates the
warnings.

Such are the joys of loosely typed languages.

[PHP] APC with horde/imp: 99.9% miss rate and only one cached file

2010-04-08 Thread Derek Chen-Becker
I suspect I've either done something horribly wrong or found a weird
bug, probably the former. I'm running PHP 5.2.13 on Solaris 10 under
Apache 2.2.14. Memory usage is 98.8% free (default 1 slice of 30MB).
Here are stats on the cache:

Cached Files1 (288.2 KBytes)
Hits4146
Misses  3579033
Request Rate (hits, misses) 358.68 cache requests/second
Hit Rate0.42 cache requests/second
Miss Rate   358.26 cache requests/second
Insert Rate 0.00 cache requests/second
Cache full count0

And here is my config in php.ini:

extension=apc.so
error_reporting = E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED
apc.report_autofilter = 1
log_errors = 1

If I restart apache, a different file gets cached each time (it rotates
between a very small subset of all of the PHP files in horde).
Sometimes, 2 or even 3 files get cached, but I've never had it go above
3. I've been googling around and reading the list archives but I can't
find anything that seems to be related to this. Am I misunderstanding
the purpose of APC? I thought that it would attempt to cache all PHP
files that are requested.

I turned on the report_autofilter in an attempt to diagnose the issue,
but nothing shows up in the error log. Here is the config as shown by
apc.php:

apc.cache_by_default1
apc.canonicalize1
apc.coredump_unmap  0
apc.enable_cli  0
apc.enabled 1
apc.file_md50
apc.file_update_protection  2

Yes, this is what I was thinking as well, however:

$a=5;
print $a[0];   // if it is index 0 then it should print 5 yes?
print $a[100]; // there is no index 100 so why no notice?

$a='5';
print $a[0];   // prints 5
print $a[100]; // Notice: Uninitialized string offset:  100

So it seems, in the first case with the integer 5 that the interpreter
is saying:

- Since $a is not an array I'll treat $a[0] and $a[100] as a string
offset, but since $a is not a string I won't do anything.

Just seems stupid IMHO.

Review your mantis mail settings. If I remember well, there are two
possibilities, direct (pop3) mail or phpmailer. In www.mantisbt.org you can
find all information you need. I've been in the same situation, and found
out how to resolve it with success.

I think it just returns null if the offset goes beyond the length of the
string. In C and C++ doing something like this would take you beyond
that variables memory allocation into neighbouring variables. I believe
PHP is trying to prevent problems where that might occur by returning
null instead.

This is only conjecture as I don't know exactly what happens, and I
can't find anything in the manual that explains what should happen when
you treat a string like an array in PHP. However, throwing some sort of
error or notice would be nice, but could be worked around by checking
the array type and length (the count() function returns the string
length I believe as well as the array size) as it does seem that PHP is
treating a string like a special sort of array.

Yup, this should happen when 5 is treated as an array of characters.
In other words as a string.
$a = '5';
echo $a[0];
echo $a[100];
gives you the expected result

regarding the original question, i think that the interpreter is
prefilling the variable with null

$a = 5;
var_dump(isset($a[0]));
var_dump($a[0]);

since $a[0] is already assigned (to null) the interpreter is not
throwing a notice

$b = null;
var_dump(isset($b));
var_dump($b);

[PHP] Forgot what to install

2010-04-08 Thread David McGlone
Hey guys, quick question. I had to re-install my Ubuntu, and I forgot
what package I needed so firefox will display the php files and not ask
me to if I want to download them. I've done installed PHP5, mysql, and
php-mysql. What did I miss. I know the package name, but it's completely
slipping my mind right now.

Thanks
David M.

Hello Shawn,
Why dont you report a bug? When we know the expected behavior or the
way it SHOULD behave. and its not behaving that way. Its certainly a
bug.. Only then we can know the real reason why the novicas are not
showing up.

A tip for you. If you have internet access, type in
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
This will install all the dependencies and your server will be ready.
