[PHP] Extending 'include' behavior in a function
Hi, I want to create a function that does some stuff, and then includes another file in the place from where it was called. The idea is to run the included file not in the function, but in the place of the caller in the caller's environment (not in the function environment).

short of playing around with the global keyword
(which won't work when you call includeIt() from
another function)) your pretty much stuck.
basically imho you need to rethink what it is your trying to do.
function have their own scope for a reason; maybe consider using
an array argument like so:
function incIt($file, $args = array())
{
extract((array)$args);
include $file; // don't forget some error checking
}
function includeIt($file, $args = array())
{
// bla
incIt($file, $args);
// more bla
}
I broke it down into 2 functions to avoid local variables
being overridden in includeIt() [by the call to extract].
In addition to your solution, it is needed to transfer the variables by
reference.
Your solution is good when you know what variables you want to transfer
ahead, and then make a list of them. But if I want to transfer all the
variables in the current environment scope?

[PHP] Bug? (_ENV in PHP v5.2.0)
Hi,
System:
Win32
PHP 5.2.0
Apache 2.0.54 (PHP in CGI mode)
CGI vars are not automatically loaded into $_ENV global array. Only when
calling getenv('var'), just then the variable appears in $_ENV.
Besides, it seems that the env vars are loaded automatically into
$_SERVER. And $HTTP_ENV_VARS is always NULL.
\$_ENV: "; var_dump($_ENV);
echo "\$HTTP_ENV_VARS: "; var_dump($HTTP_ENV_VARS);
getenv('SERVER_PROTOCOL');
echo "after getenv...";
echo "\$_ENV: "; var_dump($_ENV);
echo "\$HTTP_ENV_VARS: "; var_dump($HTTP_ENV_VARS);
?>
=== output:
before getenv...
$_ENV: array(0) { }
$HTTP_ENV_VARS: NULL
after getenv...
$_ENV: array(1) { ["SERVER_PROTOCOL"]=> string(8) "HTTP/1.1" }
$HTTP_ENV_VARS: NULL
Is it a bug? Or this is the way it should work?

Hmm.. sorry.. just checked it now, and you're right.. The #id in the dump and the hash given by spl_object_hash() give a unique ID among the objects instantiated in your process.. If you unset some of the objects, and re-create new instances of them, you may get the SAME ids you had before.. The better is might be by giving a custom id like: $ID = md5(microtime()); Eli wrote: Every dump of the same node will produce the same #id.

Better using array_pop() array_shift() reset() end() and each()

What about html_entity_decode?
http://www.php.net/html_entity_decode
No. It doesn't help in this case.
DOMDocument->saveHTML() method converts any non-ascii characters into
entities.
For example, if the dom document has the text node value of:
שלום
It converts the string to entities:
שלום
Although the string is already in UTF-8. The DOMDocument is already
initialized with version "1.0" and encoding "UTF-8", the php file is in
UTF-8, the xml file is in UTF-8 and got encoding="UTF-8"?> header.
Example:
loadXML("שלום");
$output = $dom->saveHTML();
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");
echo $output;

If anyone knows what is the exact function that is used to unserialize the session file, please tell.. and it's not the unserialize() function in PHP.

Better use checkdate, since it checks if the date really exists (not

Mabye do something like this:

Re: [PHP] shell script - disable log output
Richard Lynch wrote: I'm writing a shell script that uses error_log function to log some data, but it echos the error message to the output without logging the message to the log file. "the log file"... *WHAT* log file? A shell script has no pre-determined log file, really. Actually, it's almost for sure STDOUT at that point, or maybe STDOUT, but I doubt it. If you were coding PHP engine and needed to send error output somewhere under shell circumstances, you'd think STDOUT would be "it" right?... So you can probably re-direct 2 (STDOUT) to somewhere to get the error_log output where you want it. I think in most shells that turns into: test.php 2> /var/log/test YMMV It's up to you to figure out re-directs in your shell of choice. Good luck. You should probably use can use set_error_handler to trap errors -- though that will not catch error_log output, I don't think. You can also use set_error_reporting() to get rid of errors entirely, though that's not recommended. I don't really need it to log into a file, but I wanted to prevent it from echoing to the screen. So I guess there's no way to prevent from error_log() (using defaults) to echo to the screen (STDOUT). error_reporting() affects on errors produced by PHP itself. I tried to set it to 0 before the call, but it didn't help. set_error_handler() affects on trigger_error() and not on error_log(). It seems that the extern lib I use should use trigger_error() (or user_error()) function instead, which is the traditional way to report user-defined errors.

Well.. problem with that, is that if you got more than 1 un-escaped
attribute in a tag, the regex will fix only the first un-escaped attribute.
for example, if $html is:

In that case the id=par will remain as is...

[PHP] is_a() against instanceof
Hi, PHP5 uses the 'instanceof' keyword instead of the deprecated is_a() function. But there's a big difference between the two: - is_a($cls,"ClassName") *doesn't require* from ClassName to be declared, and return false when ClassName is not declared. - ($cls instanceof ClassName) *requires* from ClassName to be declared, and generates a fatal error when ClassName is not declared. Since is_a() is deprecated.. is there a way to use instanceof exactly like is_a() function (so it will not make an error when the class is not declared)? -thanks, Eli -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I got a thought, but didn't try to check it out: If there's a way to split a file to small chunks (i.e 2MB a chunk), then you can use JS Remote Scripting (HTTPRequest) to upload the chunks one by one, and then append all chunks on server side and you get the 100MB file. This way you can also display a progress bar of uploading. Of course the chunks will be transffered like packets (in TCP), so each chunk will have an header that relates it to the original file.

This will not work, since it is like calling a static class method, and

[PHP] getopt usage?
I can't seem to find any examples of code using getopt() around. I'm thinking not many
people use php for command line shell scripts.
Here is what i came up with for getopt();
The problem with this is it never hits default in the switch. If you give
an argument that it doesn't know about it accepts it without doing anything
and without an error, same thing if you don't give a value for an argument
thats supposed to have one (like -a above). Oh and --long arguments would be
nice too.
So why not use the Console/Getopt.php library you ask. Because i can't
figure out how to parse the output array. I can figure out the first part
readPHPArgv();
array_shift($args);
$shortoptions = "a:bc";
$longoptions = array("long", "alsolong=", "doublelong==");
$options = $optclass->getopt( $args, $shortoptions, $longoptions);
print_r($options);
?>
But that returns an array with more then one dimension and i have no idea
how to loop though to set variables like i did with getopt().
My questions are what is the preferred way to get command line options,
is there a way to give errors and take long arguments with getopt(),
and how would one parse though the array returned from $optclass->getopt?
Code examples of anyone using getopt(); or Getopt.php would be greatly
appreciated.

[PHP] Timeline for Apache 2 full use?
As the subject says, can anyone give me a timeline estimate for full usage (not experimental) of PHP within Apache 2.0? I ask because I am the maintainer of a server that recently got LOADS of hits, and was brought to it's knees (Hubble Space Telescope). We managed through, but during problem solving afterwards we have decided that Apache 2.0 with it's threads would have helped us greatly under our load. the problem is that we were just getting ready (in say a month) to go live with a very large PHP piece ... and if they can't work together ... well ... hrmmmm.

[PHP] Re: [PHP-DEV] Timeline for Apache 2 full use?
*cackle* Ok, and after I get fired for having to explain to my boss that it was my fault that the server was down because I was playing with experimental code, I'll have plenty of time to write you back about the problems I encountered :) Seriously though, if at this point, all the 'base code' of PHP is certified, could it be possible to start a checklist of which modules have been certified and which haven't? In the code we will be using, we are actually using surprisingly few libraries: Arrays, Date/Time, Directories, Filesystem, and Math ... If a list could be formed, of what was definitely safe, then perhaps some people, like us, could start using it earlier, knowing that we weren't doing other stuff (like image manipulation, DB access, etc.) Eli >The best way for PHP's Apache 2.0 module to escape from "experimental" >status is to have the confidence of sites like yours running the >code.

No, I wasn't ... I just initially wanted to know if there was any planned timeline for work on it, since all lists I could find about what was being worked on, didn't include that, and at least personally, I felt that working with Apache 2 would have been a pretty high priority thing, and so figured that someone might have known ... :) That's all. And yes, I have a dev server where I try all my new software and play with stuff. And I will be playing with Apache2/PHP4 on it. But I can't transfer any of the current load to it, because to us, breaking for even one person, is a bad thing. We strive to provide the best possible experience for everyone, and knowingly breaking for someone, when we didn't have to, is 'bad'. (bad use of government money too, at least seen as such). So I can test on my spare server, load it myself as I see fit, but not send 'real people' there.

[PHP] Eliminatimg PHP UTF-8 BOM in a returned stream to a Mobile App
Dear PHP Gurus, I would like to Eliminate the 3 UTF-8 BOM enforced on my returned BLOB: The PHP server adds utf-8 BOM (UTF-8 Byte Order Mark - in the beginning of UTF-8 files) which consists of three bytes: EF BB BF. The Mobile App served by the server Does not need that. How can I eliminate it?? Thanks.

RE: [PHP] Eliminatimg PHP UTF-8 BOM in a returned stream to a Mobile App
Hi Richard, Thanks. Indeed, that is the case - I've included a code that has UTF-8 string contants -so I guess the PHP parser set the UTF-8 mode to ON so that the returned string to the client has the UTF-8 BOM. It is not a big issue as the mobile app guys aware of this and make the proper 3 bytes offset. Anyhow I was looking for a service to control that behaviour.

Normally, PHP doesn't do this automatically (AFAIK). The main reason being is that it is often the case that the BOM appears in the source code file before the http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php#102431, http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php#95864, etc. Now. Having said all of that, you may find you are using some sort of output buffering and that is setting the BOM after the headers are sent.

The BOM is the 3 bytes you correctly identified earlier. Most editors won't show these when you edit the files. But, for the sake of argument, let's just pretend they are visible and look like ... #@& In the php script that contains some UTF-8 constants, the file would look like ... #@& As PHP will only actually parse the content between , the #@& string (the BOM) is simply sent straight through to the web server -> the client with no interruption. Now, if your code was ... #@& you would see the headers already sent error message, as the BOM tells the webserver that data is now being received and to send any headers it already has. So when the session_start() wants to send the session cookie (which is done as a HTTP Header), PHP already knows some content has gone (the BOM) and reports the error. To iterate, PHP is NOT generating the BOM. You already did that in your code. Well, the editor did it for you. Ideally, you want to turn off the BOM in your editor. -- Richard Quadling Twitter : EE : Zend @RQuadling : e-e.com/M_248814.html : bit.ly/9O8vFY -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thanks Eli eliorr.com Could it be that there is some mechanism which is caching the response (which is fine for GET requests as they are intended to be cached) on the server? Caching can be done in PHP (a lot of frameworks contain rudimentary caching functionality) or by Apache itself, so there are a few places you can check. To test for caching, have the client-side part of the request add a random suffix like ?t=timestamp so that the server thinks this request is unique. If each request comes back slow, it's likely that the subsequent ones being faster is the result of caching. -- Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk -- Best Regards, *Eli Orr* CTO & Founder *LogoDial Ltd.* M:+972-54-7379604 O:+972-74-703-2034 F: +972-77-3379604 Plaut 10, Rehovot, Israel Email: _Eli.Orr@LogoDial.com_ Skype: _eliorr.com_
