[PHP] tool to organize & design a project?
dear list, I've noticed that the longer i work on a project, the more i use my 'organic' way of adding features and filter, and the less i understand what my own code is doing. Now I do have some projects of, say, 5000 lines and i started very organized with flow diagrams and function descriptions and shit, but during the project i still managed to sneak in all sorts of unintended mess. So I am looking for some thing that may help me develop, but will not cost me more time than it gives back. For instance i tried some flow diagram tools and it is just not worth it - the original scrible i make of it on paper is just as helpful. I was thinking of some sort of function list, where i describe the functions in a detailed way, including input and output of course. It should work with classes and object descriptions too, and lists of globals. Does any such tool exist? thanks, Chris PS apologies if this question is often asked, i just joined the list again. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Pre-built CMS - Anyone recommend one?
I'm looking for a *free*, pre-built CMS with PHP/MySQL. I've looked at ezpublish but I'm having trouble installing. Criteria: * Must have SE friendly urls (example.com/4/34/) * Must allow different 'sections' for articles * Must be easy to fix templates for the html/css I happen to know a bit of the history of PHPNuke and the several forks it has lead to. The basic idea of PHPNuke and its first generation forks is this: - HEADER OF THE PAGE - LEFT| | RIGHT | CENTER| BLOCKS | | BLOCKS | | - FOOTER OF THE PAGE - Somehow limiting the creativity of the designer of a 'theme'. The left and right blocks can be form the core team or from third parties and their queality varies wildly. They can contain a menu, weather, links to center modules, search engines, polls etc. In the center would show the current "module" which can also be taken from anywhere, and can be a news system, a forum, and many other things. Xaraya and Envolution attempt to really change this strict setup. In historical order, not claiming to be exact or complete: PHPNuke * has built in news articles in sections by default. Optional planning of articles and optional feature to let visitors discuss articles (also in most other CMSses here) * I'm not sure about the search engine friendly urls. * AFAIK it has a separate directory file for the skins, called 'theme', where you can design the various CSS styles and the HTML code for basic features such as the side blocks. But i cannot recommend it because the single project leader is hard to reach and tends to ignore security warnings. www.phpnuke.org (often slow) MyPHPNuke is a fork of PHPNuke, and seems to limit itself in layout and seems to have a limited functionality (no modules, i THINK). www.myphpnuke.org (or .com) xOOps is also a fork of PHPNuke and tries to put it all in classes. I have no details, check their site. i think xoops.org PostNuke is also a PHPNuke fork, a very strong CMS with very strict rules for the modules. They are still working towards the 1.0 version but many people already used the 0.64 version on production sites. Very strong system, uses Adodb to allow the use of different databases (MySQL now with people working hard on ?Postgress and ?Oracle), many modules were made for it but it is not always claear whether it will work in the version of Postnuke you are working on. * There is a way to create search engine friendly URL's, i think it is a setting you can choose, you may need Apache to do it. If in doubt ask on one of the support areas * I find the third party module 'ContentExpress' (http://pn.arising.net/ce/) the best way to edit articles. I made a menu module for it (http://www.hieris.info/about/DynMenu). * Like PHPNuke Postnuke has 'themes' of which you can download several. http://www.postnuke.com Xaraya after a conflict in which some people kept on harrassing the developers, the central developers of Postnuke decided to fork to Xaraya, leaving Postnuke with just a handful of developers. I must say that Postnuke now is up and running again. Anyway, Xaraya has some real high quality developers but they ain't finished yet and after the hectic at Postnuke they decided not to offer in between versions but to work steady on the 1.0 version. When ready it will really kick ass. The entire system will use templates, allowing you to build pages with all content bits just however you like best. Ready for the future: if you do not want to use HTMl but rather XML, it's entirely possible already. It will allow SE friendly URLs for sure and a rocking article system. The one i hope to join. www.Xaraya.org Envolution another fork of Postnuke, uses a templating system, to the joy of some and the horror of many. I did not check it as their template system will never allow the flexibility i need. http://www.envolution.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I think that that is a really bad advice.
Let me explain.
For one, the single quotes are not in the way here because the query is
written between double quotes.
Then, leaving out the single quotes like Marek suggests will only work
because PHP is too programmer-friendly.
But the indexes of such arrays should always be quoted, because they are
strings, and not the name of 'constant' values. If you do not quote them
PHP will first try to look up whether you defined id somewhere, as a
constant (with define ('id','value');). Which you did not, so PHP will fail
to find it. Only then PHP will gently assume that since there is no
constant defined with the name id, that you meant 'id'. Valuable processing
time wasted for no reason.
Set error_reporting to ~E_ALL if you do not believe me.
I would support the $_POST suggestion by Jason.

Re: [PHP] update more "same" fields at the same time
At 14:29 15-1-03, you wrote:
> not with the same data

You can put your data and the primary keys in arrays and exec a loop
but the data[0] must be the data for the id[0],
data[1] must be the data for id[1] etc.
The loop should be something like this:
for (int $i=0; $i<=total_records_select_returned -1; $i++)
update table set field1='$data[$i]' where id=$id[$i];
I 'm not sure for the syntax but the idea is correct.
That would work good and is shorter than what i did (and accidently mailed
to myself in stead of to this list):
You split the record ID and value in two form elements while I lump the
fieldname with the recordID into the form element name.
I have table with six records in it. I can use "while" to display them all,
but in form. Is there any way I can edit all six records, and update them
all with one submit.
The way i understand the question is, you have several records (or rows) in
one table that you want to edit on the same page.
One of the many ways to do it:
When writing the form, number the fieldnames with the ID's of the items.
Separate name and ID with a clear character like '__'
So to make this do something like
1. make a query to select the items, select the values you want to show as
well as the record's ID field, from now I will call that $recordID.
Echo a tag
2. Loop through the query result with your favourite loop structure and in
the loop echo each record somehow like this:
echo ' ';
In the receiving page, split the name again.
Then build a query for every record.
With fieldname 'fieldname':
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($_POST)) //walk
through all form results, key is form_element_name
//and
value is value.
{if (! strpos($key,'fieldname')===false) //only
with variables starting with the fieldname
{ $keybits=explode('__',$key);$recordID=$keybits[1]; //split
the recordID out of the name of the variable
$query="UPDATE mytable SET fieldname='.$value.' WHERE
recordID=$recordID";
mysql_query($query) or die('Problem updating data );
}

Hello
Is it possible to send all incoming requests to the same script within

send a request like
http://mysite/someextrapathinfo to the same php script?
The background behind it is to create a controler that handles all
incoming requests and dispatches them to different worker scripts as
nessecary.
I think to achieve that you need to have a certain amount of rights, so you
may have problems to get modules in Apache or .htaccess (see below) working
when your ISP does not want to help you.
I've heard that Apache's mod_rewrite module can be very powerful in doing
things like you propose.
But I had to find another way and i have now put a .htaccess file in the
main directory of my website with a redirect in it:
ErrorDocument 404 /redirect/redirect.php
So this means that when people ask for a directory or file that does not
exist, they do not get the standard 404 error message, but they are send on
to the file www.mysite.org/redirect/redirect.php. BUT! it is very important
that you do not write www.yourdomain.org because then you loose the
information in the URL.
So then you come to the redirect.php file.
In this file you should see the original URL in $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URL']:
$path=trim($_SERVER['SCRIPT_URL']);
The way i did is was to use such links (Search Engine friendly!)
www.mysite.org/news/1224
www.mysite.org/researcher/SLanger
I would then split the URL at the slashes like this:
$path_bits=explode('/',$path);
And then i forward to the longer urls i normally use:
switch (strtolower($path_bits[1]))
{
case 'news':
Header("Location:
http://www.sense.nl/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&mode=nested&order=0&thold=0&sid=".trim($path_bits[2])
);
break;
case 'researcher':
Header("Location:
http://www.sense.nl/redirect/research.php?".trim($path_bits[2]) );
break;
default:
Header("Location: http://www.sense.nl/redirect/404.html";);
}
404.html would send real 404's to a polite message.

Since you cannot tell PHP that $var is of a certain type like in [other] programming languages, for example you want it to be treated as an integer, PHP will handle it as what seems to be the most logic.

But since then it is recommended to read it through $_POST['Name']. The old way only works if you set register_globals on in the php.ini file, if i remember well.

Re: [PHP] A way to break up the string????

Here's the example --clip-- //Original $name = "Jennifer B Cuff"; //Whatever is to be end result of the original $first_name = "Jennifer"; $middle_name = "B"; $last_name = "Cuff"; --clip-- It is a mind challenging game to seperate the data from the whitespace and break them up. I wrote a lengthy script to do it for me but it's not perfect. I welcome someone with a fresh mind to do that for me. the easiest for the programmer is to * add a space after every dot with str_replace() * then remove double dots with same * explode() the string to an array * first array element is firstname * last array element is lastname * if there is something inbetween it's probably all middle names (allow for several middle names for catholic dutch people that tend to have names such as Wilhemus Antonius Johannes Maria den Braber) Curse those people with double back names, like 'den Braber' here. Or spaced first names. A little more difficult would be to write a regular expression to split the name. I suggest a google search for ' "regular expressions" firstname, lastname '. This is bound to be something more ppl ran into. My next nightmare is to break up the address into 1) street number, 2) street name, 3) street tty, 4) city, 5) state, 6) zip while I have to interrupt it the script to put in the "N/A" in street number, street name and street tty if there is something like "PO Box 1600" or "Apt #23"...

Re: [PHP] getting javascript string values
How can I get the value of an javascript string and pass it to a php variable? var x = "test"; Well as you know, but just as a reminder, when you make a page with both php and javascript in it, the PHP code is executed on the server and then the resulting html plus javascript is send to the user, and the browser executes the javascript. So it is easy to fill in PHP-made variables into the javascript, e.g. $phpvar=3+8+31; ?>
theanswer =
But to give javascript results to PHP you have to give it back to another PHP page. I can think of three ways: - write a cookie with javascript and have the next page read the cookie with PHP - set a form element's value with javascript (document.formname.elementname.value=(6*7)) then submit the form (document.formname.submit()), In the following php page read $_POST['elementname'] (PHP>=4.10) - build the variable into the URL like window.location.href='http://www.mysite.org/nextpage.php?variable1=' + (50-8) +'&variable2='+theanswer . in the nextpage read $_GET['variable1'] and 2 In all cases make sure that you are very careful with inserting the result in SQL queries or to include files.

I'm quite sure the internet explorer uses this to embed word etc. The fact that other browsers do not embed office documents may indicate that it is hard to do this from outside a VBA-enabled prog (but it may also indicate that they do not want to facilitate MS Office). - i once made a VBA macro for Excel and it only worked on my pc, on another pc i had to make it again with new links to the libraries because the paths to the libraries were different.

Put some quotes around the tag value for just in case the $aviao has a

Hi,
I've copied only the relevant lines of your program.
The issue here is that your string concatenation results in
SELECT * FROM ssr WHEREaviao = 'Airbus'
Note the missing space after "WHERE". Your code should better read
$query = "SELECT * FROM ssr WHERE ";
$query .= $sql;
Have an eye on the added blank after WHERE.

i guess that ShortName_2 is the problem, since it needs to be unique and
the first time you enter the form it enters a data set or row with
Shortname_2 empty, and the second time you try it is still empty.
When developing a script, try
echo 'Error: '.mysql_error().'';

$result=mysql_query($qs,$db)

hi jiri,
i found this an interesting question, so i tried to think up some rough
function to do it.
But while writing that, i wondered why you wanted to make the array with
the structure you propose. Are you sure this is the easiest way to do it?
The problem with your proposal is in my eyes that for instance the SCSI
name will be in $array['sub']['sub']['sub']['name'];
So i stopped trying to finish this function because my problem is i cannot
think of an elegant way to indicate where the subarray should be glued to.
The rough idea of this could be an iterative function that does a query
every time:
function buildtree($parentID=0, $arrayposition)
{ global $Tree;
$result=query("SELECT ID, Parent,Name FROM sourcetable WHERE
Parent=$parentID") or die('error:'.mysql_error());
walkthrough $result //use your favourite loop to go through the result set
{
$branch=array($ID,$Name, 'sub'=> (buildtree( $ID,
$arrayposition )) );
}
return $branch;
}
It may be quicker to just load in the entire table in a simpe array in the
same format as the table, and then use it in a smart way.
So q: could you elaborate on the why of the array structure you proposed?

Re: [PHP] How to get tree structure into an array?
the longer i stare at it the more i think it may do the job. i'm not sure.
expecially about the 'sub'=>buildtree($ID) part.
function buildtree($parentID=0)
{
$result=query("SELECT ID, Parent,Name FROM sourcetable WHERE
Parent=$parentID") or die('error:'.mysql_error());
walkthrough $result //use your favourite loop to go through the result
set, make fields available as e.g. $ID and $Name
{ if ($ID==0) {echo 'loop danger,
exiting';exit();}
$branch[]=array($ID,$Name, 'sub'=> (buildtree( $ID)) );
}
return $branch;
}
It should iteratively call itself, adding the branches, untill it exhausted
all branches, then finally return the entire array.
You might like to check Google for iterative functions in PHP with arrays.

Check this by having a page after a form with element name 'test' with this line echo $_POST['test']; because that is the new way.

what do you get when you echo
echo htmlspecialchars('$dir_to_upload/$row->Photo');
and do you use the full file path? Images accept relative links but in my
experience PHP's file handling functions want the full path.

Re: [PHP] conditional question.
At 17:10 26-2-03, you wrote:
I have a conditional that looks like this:
if ((is_array($HTTP_POST_VARS['cart_quantity'])) &&
(is_array($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id']))){
//do stuff
}
The evaluation returns false. What makes this confusing is just before
this block, for debugging purposes, I have the following:
echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['cart_quantity'];
echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id'];
Both of them return the string "Array", indicating to me that they are
arrays. Now, if they're both arrays, and the conditional is checking to
see if they're both arrays, wouldn't it make sense that it should evaluate
to "true"?
My first reflex was to check the user-annotated manual and the last note
seems to fit just fine to your problem:
syncro at outgun dot com
30-Jan-2003 10:16
I have noticed that is_array() acts a bit weird when the argument is an
expression, rather than a variable. Working with a multilevel nested array,
is_array($bigArray[$part]) does not return what it should, but
$column=$bigArray[$part]; and then is_array($column) does the job fine...
It looks like this might happen with other is_* functions as well.
(from http://nl.php.net/manual/nl/function.is-array.php)
I suggest to also try $column=&$bigArray[$part]; <--- note the added &, so
the (sub)array does not need to be copied.

Re: [PHP] Deleting a page after viewing it
At 18:32 26-2-03, you wrote: I have a confirmation of "membership" page a user would arrive at after clicking on a URL in an email. After they click on a link in this page I want to delete the page itself so it will only exist for this one use. The URL in the page does go to another "Welcome" page which is on another server. Do I need to include something in the second page that will do the deleting, or can I delete it from within the script for the first page that deletes as of the click on the URL. Haven't written any code yet for this, but I'm thinking "unlink." I think this is usually done with a link like 'confirm.php?id=23sahd', and with that link a database field in the usertable called 'email_confirmed' that was false by default and then is changed to true. Another field called 'expires_on' with a date in it. However back to your question. I would not delete a file that is currently being executed. That could lead to all sorts of confusion by the server and/or php. So you could pass the filename on to the second or you could read the $_server['http_referer'] to see the filename as url. Then i think you need to change that in a proper filepath, by chopping the referer off from the last slash (eg finding last slash with strpos() and selecting the end of the string with substr()).

Re: [PHP] $PHP_SELF with redirected domain
...and the problem that the form immediately goes to the real url is that
people see the real url?
What about one of the following:
- chop off the subdir again by only putting the last part of $PHP_SELF as
form action (f.i. with a combination of substr($PHP_SELF,...,...) and
strpos('/') )
or
- when i do a full path in the redirect in .htaccess:
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.org/redirect/redirect.php
it is treated as a fresh page and all form results are lost
but when i do
ErrorDocument 404 /redirect/redirect.php
in .htaccess, the original post and get vars stay, and i suppose
also the original $PHP_SELF
Maybe the same happens with your thing, i happen not to know what %1/$1
does. If %1 is the domain, try to do it without that (but with the slash,
so /$1 ). Worth a try innit?
or
- simply make a new page that receives the file, or not using $PHP_SELF but
the actual filename.
At 18:42 26-2-03, you wrote:
If I use $PHP_SELF as the action in a form where the domain name is
redirected,
I get the extra directory.
Is there a way around that?
Details:
The domain name is redirected in .htaccess like this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !domain2
RewriteRule ^(.*) %1/$1 [L]
So, domain2 is really a directory on domain1, but http://domain2.com will be
taken to that directory on domain 1 as if it was the http root
But, when using $PHP_SELF, I get the extra directory, so the form may start
here:
http://domain2.com/myform.php
But the $PHP_SELF forces the next POST page to be
http://domain2.com/domain2/myform.php
Ideas?

I think 0D0A is "\r\n" (double quotes!).
Maybe you can start with str_replacing all "\r\n" and "\r" with "\n" so you
can explode by "\n" only. Use double quotes for best result.

Re: [PHP] mortgage calculator

Normal rent calculation would go like this: where i = interest or rent over a certain the period of time ( usually between 0 and 1 (1=100%). With 3.5% interest, i is 3.5/100=0.035 n = the amount of timeperiods that passed $ = pack of money , and $(0) is heap at start, $(n) is at end of n timeperiods $(n)= $(0) * (1+i)^n (x raised-to-the-power-of y is sometimes written as x^y, sometimes as x**y (Perl)) in PHP $startsum=$_POST['startsum']; $interest=$_POST['interest']; $timeperiods=$_POST['timeperiods']; $endsum = $startsum * pow(1+$interest/100,$timeperiods); With a 3% year-rent in 5 years $10 grows to $(n) = 10 * 1.03^5 2. Mortgage calculation Well how do they pay back? You can have them pay a fixed part of the loan plus the interest of the month, here called an annuiteiten-hypotheek Then every month you pay ($in_this_month *interest) + (1/$totalmonths * $startsum ) $in_this_month is probably $n=thismonths number so the monthly payment would look something like ((1 - $n/$totalmonths) * $startsum ) + (1/$totalmonths * $startsum ) I suppose you can simplify this if you are a mathematician. If you are a bloody consultant you should have learned these formulas once up on a time. You can loop through $n of course to make a nice list. In searching php.net, I found a discussion from back in 2000 related to some buggy code. My web search hasn't produced anything other than realtor and mortgage companies and a perl script site. I'm not familiar with perl and would prefer avoiding it until my knowledge improves. There were corrections for a java script somewhere, but I'm beginning to think it is down. Some things seem so obvious that you just don't think you need to bookmark! So why can't I remember...
