[PHP] Quotes in Heredoc

2011-02-26 Thread Ashim Kapoor
Dear All,

I am learning PHP by reading a book. My query pertains to the following
lines : -

$form_str = <<< EOFORMSTR





.

My query is that is it true that we don't need to do


ie. we don't need to quote the value of the options in Heredoc. Is that
correct?

Many thanks,
Ashim.


[PHP] Infosys FYI

2011-02-26 Thread Peter Lind
Det gik op for mig at i tilmeldingsstresset fik jeg taget 2010
databasen ned. Den er nu tilgængelig igen.

Man bruger:
- http://archive.fastaval.dk/2010/infosys/ for at set 2010 udgaven
- http://infosys.fastaval.dk/ for at se 2011 udgaven

Derudover er 2009 udgaven stadig tilgængelig på
http://archive.fastaval.dk/2009/infosys/

De samme adgangskoder skulle virke til både 2010 og 2011.

Regards
Peter

The quotes you mention are in the HTML, nothing to do with PHP. HTML
will work without the quotes in most cases (unless there's a space in
the value for the attribute) but the quotes are required in XHTML and
will cause unexpected results.

The only difference Heredoc makes in PHP is that the strings you write
don't require characters to be escaped, which you would have to do
normally in traditional quoted strings.

Can you elaborate on the XHTML part? Do you mean they are required in XHTML
but optional in HTML ?

[PHP] Log Rotation, leave it to OS or do it in PHP code?

2011-02-26 Thread AmirBehzad Eslami
Dear list,

It seems that Python has already a Log Rotation mechanism,
which solves the problem of log file growth.

I'm wondering whether there is any PHP-based solution around?
Now let me ask from a different view:

Is it a good approach to implement the Rotation mechanism to PHP? (Code Level)
Or leave the job to the operating system and other utilities?

Where is the right place to implmenet the Rotation? In Code? In OS?
PHP? or a Bash Script?

Thanks,

Yes, in HTML the quotes are optional, but they are required in XHTML

Personally, I would leave it to the OS and other tools, the reason being
that it may not necessarily be the programmer who is managing the server
as well. I've worked in a couple of places large enough to have
dedicated server guys (and gals) who dealt with deploying managing the
servers and their services. They may have a preferred way of rotating
and archiving logs that is managed on all the log files, regardless of
what scripting language was used to create them.

If you're working in a smaller environment that doesn't have different
staff supporting the servers, I would still keep the log rotation
separate, but you manage this in a number of ways, either leaving it to
the OS, write a bash script, PHP script, or some sort of off-the-shelf
solution. I would be careful not to clutter an app too much with things
it may not need to, and having the rotation dealt with independently
means that it can be a utility shared by many of your scripts.
