Re: [PHP] installing php 5 with pdflib

Is there any particular reason why you like to compile pdflib directly into PHP? pdflib (at least the commercial version) is available as a .so extension for PHP. See: http://www.pdflib.com/download/pdflib-family/pdflib-7/ Maybe you should download the current version (7) and try to compile your php again.

Re: [PHP] help with \n\r in strings
If you just want to test for \n\r -
if ( substr ( -2, $my_string ) == "\n\r" ) { // substr with the
negative value of 2 will give you the last two characters of your string
// do some stuff
}
I think it would be a good idea to explain a little bit more what you
are trying to accomplish. Are you preparing the string for a database
insert? Do you want to sanitise the string?
Stripping off those kind of characters can also be done with trim (or
ltrim - trims white space characters from the left of the string or
rtim - trims from the right). Read the manual for more details and
options.
If you are not quite sure what those characters are, you can find out
with this little helper.
$characters = preg_split( '//', $my_string );
foreach ( $characters as $character ) {
echo "ASCI value of the character {$character} is: " . ord
( $character ) . "\n";
}
Then you can look up the values in a ASCI table.

The array that you get will contain segments of the string that is

Subject: [PHP] help with \n\r in strings
Hi all,
I receive a text file with a whole bunch of strings. and each line is
terminated by what I presume is \n\r however when I read the string
into
PHP, it seems that the last column of the row and the first column of
the next row are connected but it appears as a space but I've done all
kinds of tests like $spacePos = strrpos($dateAmount, ' '); but this is
always empty.
So is there a way to test for \r\n? or what else can I use to delimit
these two values (last column of row and first column of next row)?
Thanks in advance.
Angelo

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents gets 404 error
In the manual it says:
"You can use a URL as a filename with this function if the fopen
wrappers have been enabled...".
First of all, I would check your php.ini file. If everything is ok
(fopen wrappers are on), maybe you could post some code. The last
option would be to use an other way round by using e.g. curl or
anything else. If anybody else is able to open the URL you provided,
it must be either you code or your server / PHP config that is
messing things up.

Re: [PHP] I lied, another question / problem
I believe that only two things could be messing up your validation:
a) input data
b) your function
a) Do a var_dump on your input data. Is there any white space
characters or anything else that do not belong there in the string?
b) Rewrite your function/rethink what you are doing. You said that
your function should match letters from a to Z and some special
characters like ' - _ .
Try this regex:
^(\w+\s?[\'\-\_\.]?)+$
I would write the function as follows:
function invalidchar ( $input )
{
if ( preg_match ( "^(\w+\s?[\'\-\_\.]?)+$", $input ) ) { // string
matches against the pattern, everything is ok
return $input;
} else {
return false;
}
}
if ( invalidchar ( $my_string ) == false ) {
// do some stuff
} else {
echo "You passed the test";
}
// untested

I have file which I use for validating which includes the
following
function:
function invalidchar($strvalue) {
if(!ereg("^[[:alpha:][:space:]\'-.]*$", $strvalue)) {
That regexp matches if $strvalue consists of zero or more
ocurrences
of a letter, a whitespace character, and any character
whose numeric
value lies between the numeric values of "'" and "." in
your locale.
Zero or more means it also matches an empty string.
I'm still confused. This works perfectly on my other two
pages with
the exact same code. So why is it only this one page that
is causing a problem?
I don't know, I don't care. You have enough problems with
the single
regex, let's concentrate on fixing this first.
This certainly has a bearing. If the code works here then there is
nothing wrong with the code. There is something else going on.
If I enter the word "test" in my form, without the quotes,
then why is
the fuction returning anything since this is a valid entry.
Should it
not only return a value if there is a problem.
I don't understand that paragraph. The regexp matches, and the
function returns *nothing* just as you programmed it.
That, of course, means that the variable you are assigning this
*nothing* gets set to *nothing*, which, in PHP lingo, is null.
The problem is that it is returning *something*, and that's
what I am
trying to figure out.
If I put this in my code after I do the checking it works, but it
should not work if the function is retuning *nothing*.
So the original question remains, what is being returned and why?
If($formerror) echo "Testing"; This will display Testing -
it should
not display anything since nothing should be returned.
All I want to accomplish here is to allow the user to enter
a to z, A
to Z, and /\'-_. and a space. Is there a better way to do this?
1. Do you really want to let them enter backslashes, or are
you trying
to "escape" the apostrophe?
2. Does that mean that "/\'-_." (without the quotes) and "
" (that's
three spaces) are valid entries?
Where do you see 3 spaces? In any event, I don't think this is the
problem.
As I have said the code works fine on two other pages,
which logically
suggests that there is something on this page that is causing a
problem.

It might be possible as well to get some information about the users curent browser encoding by using some java script?

I had tried fsockopen, but here's the problem. The

$fp = fsockopen("www.example.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);

$fp = fsockopen("www.this_url_is_not_valid.com", 80, $errno,

fsockopen does not like it.
$fp = fsockopen("www.youtube.com/v/JqO8ZevPJNk", 80, $errno,

I think it has something to do with the way YouTube
works. Any clues?
Did you take a look at the error numbers / messages returned by
fsockopen? What do they say? I can't see any problems with your code
either. So, either the call gets stuck maybe due to some
configuration on your machine (you can simply test it by changing you
fsockopen call to e.g. www.php.net - or your lolcalhost), or - as you
already mentioned - it is youTube that blocks your calls in some way
(therefore, error message might give you a clue why).
Another thing that poped up in my mind - curl. Tried that?

Hi Dave. I don't think you are able to detect your users character encoding with php only (at least not rock-solid).

Depending on that encoding, do some string replace on your input data. Have you provided a valid "charset" encoding in your html?

My question is, how do I overcome this. If I set my browser encoding to Latin-1 and enter the data I get that odd symbol, if I set it to UTF-8 I get clean data.

corresponding domain - without redirecting the visitor. All english
content for example will be under the .com domain, all swedish

I am not seeking advices about how to implement such a structure (I
have done this already). I am more interested in pros and cons with
either way. My hope is that the site will be more Google friendly.
Am I making sense? I might also add that I read some articles from W3

Although using country codes or flags to represent languages might appear to work well with a very small and select sampling, it breaks down quickly when you include more groups. Maybe what would serve you better would be language-specific sub- domains, e.g.: sv.example.com (website in Swedish) contrasted with: example.se (website in Sweden) See: IS0 639-2 Alpha-3 codes arranged alphabetically by the English name of language http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.php By the way, because your question is not how to implement such a system in PHP, perhaps this topic isn't really appropriate for this list. I'd suggest taking it to one of these: multiweb.googlegroups.com Webdesign-L WSG (Web Standards Group) Regards, Paul __ Paul Novitski Juniper Webcraft Ltd. http://juniperwebcraft.com -- 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
Re: [PHP] Multi lingual pages
Thank you Robert.
Actually, I am not so sure anymore if my idea of "binding" localized
content to domains is the right path to go. After a litte research, I
saw that many of the major sites out there are redirecting the user
to subfolders. Maybe this is the right thing to do. What would happen
if a page is available in English and e.g. american English or when a
certain domain is not available?
Right now I am playing with mod_rewrite. Looks promising.

Hello.
I would like to hook up on this issue a little bit more. I am
wondering if anybody is willing to share some good advices
regarding how to implement a good (normative) url structure so to
say when it comes to multi lingual sites. Let me give you an
example.
IBM has many different domains including .se, .de, .com, .es and so
on. But, all local domains are redirected to e.g. www.ibm.com/de or
www.ibm.com/se and so on. Is this "common practise"? Right now, I
am about to restructure my employers site. But, in contrast to for
example the IBM site, I would like to bind the content to the
corresponding domain - without redirecting the visitor. All english
content for example will be under the .com domain, all swedish
content will be under .se domain. Hope you see what I mean.
I am not seeking advices about how to implement such a structure (I
have done this already). I am more interested in pros and cons with
either way. My hope is that the site will be more Google friendly.
Am I making sense? I might also add that I read some articles from
W3 org about localization / internationalization, but I couldn't

1) Switching language downloads a new version of the current

don't go down the define('LANG_KEY', 'lang string value'); route -
defines
are comparatively SLOW to create. IF you go down the road of
loading in text
from 'per lang' files I would suggest using an array as the
storage mechanism:
$Lang = array(
'LANG_KEY' => 'lang string value',

);
assoc array are much less heavy to create.
also consider that there are, imho, 2 kinds of language specific
data:
1. 'static' values - button texts, [error] messages - these are
specified during site/application
design.
2. 'dynamic' values - document titles, headers, content - these
are specified by the owner/user during
the lifetime of the site/application

As a question or maybe a comment i'm not sure which yet, but aren't
those
"major" sites rewriting url's rather then redirecting the pages to
different
folders?
Yes, of course. Maintaining such a site without rewriting urls would
be a nightmare. When I said that those sites are "redirecting" users,
I was thinking about response headers.
//frank
It seems they are usually using the same "layout" and "design" and the
content is essentially the same, so i thought it logical to
concluded they
are using the same framework, i can't imagine using several copies
of the
same framework to overcome language issues, which would be the case
if they
were using seperate directories for languages, IMO.
Just a "logical" geuss, please correct me if I am mistaken ;)

Although I never worked with SOAP so far, at least when it comes to
XML namespaces, you need to explicitly set those somewhere in your
code before use (which you haven't). Have you asked Google or even
looked at the MAN pages? After two minutes of googling, I found this.
From the SOAP man page:
[...]

25-Aug-2006 01:20
If you want to build a Soap Server for Microsoft Office's client (like
Microsoft Office Research Service) you need to rewrite SOAP's
namespaces :
$server = new SoapServer($wsdl, array('uri' => $uri, 'classmap' =>
$classmap));
$server->setClass($class);
function callback($buffer)
{
$s = array('', 'ns1:', 'xmlns:ns1="urn:Microsoft.Search
"');
$r = array('',
'', '');
return (str_replace($s, $r, $buffer));
}
ob_start('callback');
$server->handle();
ob_end_flush();
// (...)
?>
There are a complete example at this URL :
http://touv.ouvaton.org/article.php3?id_article=104
[...]
I am sure there are other examples too.

If your webserver runs on MacOSX, look out for a binary called 'pstopdf'. From the man page: [...] pstopdf is a tool to convert PostScript input data into a PDF document. The input data may come from a file or may be read from stdin. The PDF document is always written to a file. The name of the output PDF file is derived from the name of the input file or may be explicitly named using the -o option. [...] Another option might be xpdf (http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/).

My approach would be to split the hole text into smaller chunks (with e.g.
explode()) and extract the interesting parts with a regular expression. Maybe
this will give you some ideas:
$chunks = explode("-30-", $mystring);
foreach($chunks as $chunk) {
preg_match_all("/News Releases\n(.+)/s", $chunk, $matches);
var_dump($matches[1]);
}
The regex matches all text between "News Releases" and the end of the chunk.

Have you read up on 'preg_match_all' in the manual? What makes you think that
preg_match_all returns strings? "$matches[1]", in the above case contains an
array with all matches from the parenthesized subpattern, which is "(.+).

Why not add two lines of code within the first loop?
$chunks = explode("-30-", $mystring);
foreach($chunks as $chunk) {
preg_match_all("/News Releases\n(.+)/s", $chunk, $matches);
foreach($matches[1] as $matched_text_line) {
$mynewarray[] = $matched_text_line;
}
}
Besides the regex, this is pretty basic php.

Sometimes, it helps reading the manual...
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=php+unset+global
"If a globalized variable is unset() inside of a function, only the local
variable is destroyed. The variable in the calling environment will retain the
same value as before unset() was called."
[...]
"To unset() a global variable inside of a function, then use the$GLOBALS array
to do so:"
Took about 1 minute to find out.

From the manual:
allowable_tags
You can use the optional second parameter to specify tags which should not be
stripped.
Note:
HTML comments and PHP tags are also stripped. This is hardcoded and can not be
changed with allowable_tags.
Note:
This parameter should not contain whitespace. strip_tags() sees a tag as a
case-insensitive string between < and the first whitespace or >. It means that
strip_tags("", "") returns an empty string.
It's all there… ;-)

Why not try some basic debugging strategies and see what you get?
Try:
for ($i=0; $i<$rows; $i++)
{
var_dump($i);
$j = $i+1;
$row = mysql_fetch_array($qrslt);
echo $j.'-'.$row['userid'];
var_dump($j);
if ($row['user_priv']<> "")
echo ' ('.$row['user_priv'].')
';
else
echo '
';
}
The output you've posted, that's rendered output, right? What's the raw output?
By the way, the code snippet you gave us is not complete. Is there anything
else? As Dan noticed earlier, judging from that code snippet only, there must
be something else funky going on.

[PHP] RelaxNG parser in PHP?
Hello List! Currently I am using a pear package in one of my projects to parse and query XML DTD files. The package is called XML_DTD 0.5.2 and includes the so called XML_DTD_Parser. One of the purposes of this class is to parse a given DTD file and return that file as a tree like object. With the help of that object, I can find out valid children (and valid attributes) for a given tag (which is what I am using the XML_DTD class for). Now I am looking for a similar class in order to parse RelaxNG (alternatively Schematron) files. I have search Google high and low but was not able to find anything suitable. Any hints are more than welcome! Regards, /frank -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi Adam.
Although I've never worked with PUT/DELETE requests, here are my thoughts.
1) According to the manual, file_get_contents only allows URL's as filenames if
"fopen wrappers" are enabled. Make sure that this is the case (have a look at
the settings in your php ini file). Do you get any data when changing
'file_get_contents' to e.g. (as found here:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.put-method.php)?
2) Have a look in your Appache log files and make sure the client is actually
making a valid PUT request.

[PHP] replace special characters
Hello everybody!
I was wondering if you could help me with a little problem I ran into
some days ago.
In my database I have some information about file paths. Originally,
those paths come from a Windows Excel spreadsheet and look like "..\1
PDF Filer\65051.PDF". In my PHP code I try to do two things:
1) replace ".." with a string like "file://server/folder"
2) replace all "\" characters with "/".
The PHP code looks something like:
$path_to_file = "..\1 PDF Filer\65051.PDF";
$things_to_look_for = array("..", "\");
$things_to_replace_with = array("file://server/folder", "/");
$link = str_replace($things_to_look_for, $things_to_replace_with,
$path_to_file);
The big problem is the character "\" which, if I got it right, in
UNICODE is used for things like expressing line breaks ('\n' or
something like this). The code above is resulting in the following
error massage: "Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in
/xxx/xxx/xxx/TMPz06yoces6o.php on line 2."
Is there a simple solution for this problem?

Frank

You are escaping the last quote, meaning that the rest of your code is
"quoted". What you need to do is to escape the escape character.
$path_to_file = addslashes("..\1 PDF Filer\65051.PDF");
$things_to_look_for = array("..", "\\");
You should use addslashes() or similar on you're path name, as some
escaped characters have certain meanings. \n for example means a new
line character, while \\n on the other hand means \ followed by n.

Re: [PHP] How to sort a Multidimensional array?
Hello!
This must be one of the most frequently asked questions ever. Anyway,
take a look at the PHP manual. Look for a function called 'foreach'. To
put it simple, with 'foreach' you are able to go through the array
step-by-step, value by value.
For example:
$arr = array('value1', 'value2', 'value3);
foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
echo "Key: $key; Value: $value\n"; // in stead of just
echoing the values and keys, you can e.g. assign the values to another
array and sort them when done
}
?>

Re: [PHP] seraching / indexing in php
PHPdig comes with extensive documentation and you are free to rewrite the code so that the search engine does exactly what you want. But, you have to be rather familiar with PHP. My own impression was that it is easy (more or less) to do some basic configuration on the search engine. When it comes to adopting the code for your own needs, so to say, it is sometime necessary to do some extensive research on the PHP manual. However, Phpdig is capable of indexing dynamically generated pages (I just tested it).

If you are 100% sure that the var $title contains a valid UTF-8

the page encoding to UTF-8), then the only thing that is left that

The most reliable way of extracting text from a pdf is (I think) a product called PDF TET from PDFlib Gmbh.

[PHP] Problem with timeout
Hello. I am currently working on a script that parses a given http adress by looking for anchor tags, background images and so on - a crawler if you like. The downloaded content is temporarily stored on the server (Mac OS X Server 10.4.9 with PHP 5) and, when the script is done, the content is packed into a ZIP archive. It seems that I am having trouble with my Apache timeout setting. Because the script downloads between 250 and 300MB of html, pdf, css files and so on, it is terminated automatically after the specified timeout setting (currently 1200 seconds). Setting max execution time to -1 in the script has no effect (which has been noticed previously on the php.net manual page). Is there any other way (with PHP) to come around this problem besides setting the time-out in the Apache config to more than 1200 seconds? The Apache manual says that the time out value can only be changed within the core configuration scope. My initial idea was to set the value in a .htaccess file which unfortunately is not allowed. I might also add that the script is already optimized for speed so to say. Hope you get what I mean. //frank -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Even if Apache does not give up on your PHP script, the HTTP client might do so. This is also not a good idea for a site with several clients because Apache could easily run low on available sockets, causing a DoS. I suggest you just spawn a background process from your PHP script, through some shell command like batch and nohup. The background process can still be coded in PHP with the CLI interface. Thank you for sharing your suggestions. The idea of running the script as a background process seems very elegant to me, I have to admit. Since my script is executed only once a week, it would be sufficient to set up a simple cron job. Modifications to the script are also rather small, since I already have e.g. functions for output logging, process locking and so on.

The downloaded content is temporarily stored on the server (Mac OS X Server 10.4.9 with PHP 5) and, when the script is done, the content is packed into a ZIP archive. It seems that I am having trouble with my Apache timeout setting. Because the script downloads between 250 and 300MB of html, pdf, css files and so on, it is terminated automatically after the specified timeout setting (currently 1200 seconds). Setting max execution time to -1 in the script has no effect (which has been noticed previously on the php.net manual page). You mean 0, not -1, right?... Well, yes. I think I mixed up the function "set_time_limit" with the "memory_limit" option. Cuz 0 means "forever" and -1 probably doesn't mean anything at all, unless it means 0x seconds, which is on heck of a long time. You can often use set_time_limit inside your loop with a reasonable number this is much longer than any single loop execution should take. This provides you with as much time as you need to finish, without wiping out ALL the benefits of the original intent of set_time_limit Is there any other way (with PHP) to come around this problem besides setting the time-out in the Apache config to more than 1200 seconds? Wait a minute. Are you talking about a PHP time limit, or an Apache time limit?! I was talking about the Apache time limit. As you most certainly know, the Apache time limit is "superior" to the maximal execution time set inside a PHP script. Therefore, setting the max execution time to 0 (no limit) has no effect if the script reaches the Apache time limit specified by the "TimeOut" directive. Of course, since this is my own server and I have root access, I could set the Apache time limit to a higher value. But, as Emmanuel already pointed out ... "because Apache could easily run low on available sockets, causing a DoS." So I do not feel that this is the right way to go. Cuz we can't really help you much with some Apache time limit thingie... I was afraid of that. The Apache manual says that the time out value can only be changed within the core configuration scope. My initial idea was to set the value in a .htaccess file which unfortunately is not allowed. I might also add that the script is already optimized for speed so to say. Not allowed as in you can't have .htaccess, or not allowed as in somebody turned off the ability to change PHP's timeout setting? With "not allowed" I ment that you are not able to set the Apache directive "timeout" in a .htaccess file (at least not with Apache 1.3) since this directive is only legal within the server core configuration. I still think that the best way to go is to not involve Apache at all when running the script. Because the script already has functions for output logging etc. it is no big deal to change the code so that it can be run from PHP CLI. //frank -- Some people have a "gift" link here.

Once you said it was something you did weekly, it's pretty much a given that you ought to use a cron job with PHP CLI and take Apache out of the picture entirely... You are absolutely right. I might also mention that running the script under PHP CLI did two things: 1) No problems with timeout settings anymore. 2) The script takes 10 minutes less time to finish However, I realized that PHP CLI is version 4.4.4 whereas the Apache module PHP is version 5.something. After some modifications to the script, it is running flawlessly now. Actually, even if it's for surfer interaction, anything taking that long should probably be turned into a "jobs" oriented architecture, and queue up the work for a cron job later, with user email notification when it's done. NOBODY wants to sit that long watching the browser do nothing. I totally agree. The script was never ment to be user-triggered. Instead, the archiving process takes place weekly. Thanks you all!

Re: [PHP] Sending mail on OS X
I think the key to your problem is to configure Postfix on Mac OS X
properly. My best suggestion would be "Postfix Enabler" (look at e.g.
versiontracker.com for the current version). Postfix Enabler makes it
very easy to setup Postfix for exemple to use SMTP for the outgoing

Another idea would be to use phpmailer (http://

[PHP] None US ASCII characters not allowed in headers?
Hi. I have been struggling with a little problem for quite some time now, without finding a good solution. On one of my pages, users are able to download files that contain none US ASCII characters in their filenames (e.g. character ö,ä,å). And I would like to set the original filename in the content header. But according to RFC2183 on "... The Content-Dispostion Header Field", characters that are not part of US ASCII are not allowed in content headers. Is there any chance to get around this limitation? On the other hand, uploading files that contain "special characters" in their filenames is no problem. Why is that so?

Re: [PHP] Re: Not getting expected result from file()
If you are not able to get anything into your DB (and your connection
is ok), then two things might be wrong: your input or the query
string itself.
Echo out the query string and try to use the query
"manually" (directly with a MySQL client). If the query string is ok,
you might check your MySQL connection settings (var_dump, echo etc).
If the query string is not ok, you have to look at the input values
for the query ($regName, $regAddress etc).

Your problem starts here - file returns the file in an array. Each

of the array corresponds to a line in the file, with the newline
still
attached. When you compare to a string without the newline at the

If you have php > 5.0.0 you can use the FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES flag
in the

the array elements.

[PHP] Problem with wrapper script for Tidy
Hello.
Since my ISP does not provide the tidy module for Apache, I tested
writing a wrapper script for a locally installed tidy binary. In
general, the script is triggered by a modification to the .htaccess
file like so:
AddHandler server-parsed .php
Action server-parsed /tidy_wrapper.php5
All php pages are by that means "treated" by the script
tidy_wrapper.php5.
Here is the code for tidy_wrapper.php5:
// Including a line with the commend "" will turn
off tidy conversion
if ( !stristr ( $output, "" ) ) {
$localfile = tempnam ( '../tmp', "tmp" );
$handle = fopen($localfile, "w");
fwrite($handle, $output);
fclose($handle);
$command = '/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/tidy -iq --show-
errors 0 --show-warnings 0 -wrap 100 ' . $localfile . ' 2>&1';
exec ( $command, $output_exec );
echo implode ( "\n", $output_exec );
unlink ( $localfile );
} else {
echo $output;
}
exit;
?>
Although the script is actually working fine, there is at least one
downside: speed. As you can see, the output buffer must be written to
a file in order to be processed by tidy. I was not able to get tidy
to accept a string for processing. Doing so, tidy throws en error. I
have looked through tidy documentation without finding any clues. I
would appreciate any hints. Any ideas for a walk-around for that file
saving-thing would be welcome!
Otherwise, I strongly feel that this script might become/be a
security hole. Because it does not validate the included PHP code, it
could be misused for doing bad stuff, or am I wrong? Once more, any
suggestions are welcome.

/frank

Re: [PHP] Problem with wrapper script for Tidy
Thank you Richard. I will test that (piping the output). Regarding my
concerns about "rubbing security" by not validating the included
code, I actually meant that the script does not validate where the
included PHP script is coming from. Could someone set the
environmental variable $_SERVER('PATH_TRANSLATED') from outside, so
to say? Or is there no reason to be worried?

As far as the Tidy not validating the included PHP, I'm not sure what
you mean, but I don't see this making the PHP code any less secure
than it was before you wrapped Tidy around it...

[PHP] ereg_replace with unser defined function?
Hello all. Is it possible to have a user defined function for the replacement within an ereg_replace (like preg_replace_callback)? I am working on a script that converts html pages with metric data into imperial data. My script takes text strings containing one or more instances of e.g. "123 mm", "321 mm", "123 kg", "123 cm2" and so on. The script searches the string with a pattern like: "([[:digit:]]+|[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+)([[:blank:]]?)(mm)" When the script finds an instance, it stores the matches into an array - ereg ( $pattern, $textstring, $matches ) The replacement (for mm) looks like: round ( ( $matches[1] * 0.039370079 ), 1 ) . $matches[2] . "in" Everything is working great accept when the string contains more than one instance for example of the metric unit mm. In that case, all instances of "xy mm" will be replaced with the first occurrence. So, a text like: "The product is 230 mm tall, 120 mm thick and 340 mm wide" will output as "The product is 9.1 in tall, 9.1 in thick and 9.1 in wide" - because the replacement string is based / calculated on the first occurrence 230 mm. Alternatively, is there a way to limit ereg_replace to only replace one instance at a time? Hopefully I am not too confusing... regards, /frank ps. of course I have searched the manual and asked Google - no luck ds.
Re: [PHP] ereg_replace with user defined function?
Thank you Ilaria and Roman for your input. I did not know that preg
is able to deal with PCRE patterns. As a matter of fact I came up
with the following solution (if someone is interested):
the function takes a text and an array with converters like:
$converters[] = array ( "metric" => "mm", "imperial" => "in", "ratio"
=> 0.039370079, "round" => 1 );
$converters[] = array ( "metric" => "m", "imperial" => "ft", "ratio"
=> 3.280839895, "round" => 1 );
function convertTextString ( $text, $convertTable )
{
# this function takes a text string, searches for numbers to
convert, convert those numbers and returns
# the complete text again.
if ( !ereg ( "[[:digit:]]", $text ) ) // if the text does not
contain any numbers, return the text as it is
{
return $text;
}
foreach ( $convertTable as $convertKey => $convertUnit )
{
$pattern = "((\d{1,10}[,|.]*\d{0,10})*(\s)(%s)([$|\s|.|,|\)|/]+|
$))"; // this regex looks for a number followed by white space,
followed by the metric unit, followed by a closing character like
".", "," or ")"
$pattern = sprintf ( $pattern, $convertUnit['metric'] );
while ( preg_match ( $pattern, $text, $matches ) )
{
$matches[1] = str_replace ( ",", ".", $matches[1] ); // in case
numbers are written like "6,6 m", we need to replace "," with "."
// because we do not want to return 0, we have to make shure that
the new value is not zero.
$itterator = 0;
do {
$value = round ( ( $matches[1] * $convertUnit['ratio'] ),
$convertUnit['round'] + $itterator );
++$itterator;
} while ( $value == 0 || $itterator == 10 );
$replacement = $value . "$2" . $convertUnit['imperial'] .
"$4";
$text = preg_replace ( $pattern, $replacement, $text, 1
);
}
}
return $text;
}

Hi Frank,
I think preg_replace_callback is a good solution for you.
If you don't want to use it, you can construct two arrays defining
matches and replacements.
For example:
$matches
[230]
[120]
[340]
$replacements
[9.1]
[replace2]
[replace3]
After you stored matches in $matches using regular expression like
yours,/preg_match_all / (([[:digit:]]+|[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+)([[:blank:]]?)
(mm), $string, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER)
you can define $replacements by this way:
for(int =0; i $replacements[$i]=round((substr($matches[$i][0], 0, 3))
*0.039370079),1); //take the last part of match with no digits, I
don't know if there are sure 3 digits
}
for(int i=0; i

Re: [PHP] ereg_replace with user defined function?
Thanks again for your suggestions.
Actually, - believe it or not - I have never written a class (I am
still learning PHP after three years working with that language). So
I am not quite sure of the benefits of your class. One thing I do
realise is the benefit of replacing the foreach loop with a single
preg_replace_callbak. Let me try to sum up:
With a preg_replace_callback I am able to look for a pattern like: a
number ( float or integer ) followed by whitespace followed by one,
two, three or more characters, followed by a closing character.
e.g.: "((\d{1,10}[,|.]*\d{0,10})*(\s)(\D{1,3})([$|\s|.|,|\)|/]+|
$))" (untested)
If preg finds a match, it will pass an array to the specified
function. In that function I evaluate the unit, see if it is in my
array containing the conversion "table". If that is the case,
calculate the new value and return everything. Right?
I will get back with this new approach.
BTW, 0.32/0.34 seconds includes: calling the original html page from
an outside server, loading this page into the DOM parser, walking
through every table and every text string on that page. Convert
everything necessary (the converter array contains about 14 metric ->
imperial converters) replace all converted DOM nodes and output
everything. The metric / imperial calculations / replacements take
between 0.00054 and 0.005 seconds per table cell / text string.

NP, glad to be of help. The relationship is quite obvious if you
look at both syntaxes.

preg_replace_callback() in the first place?

Well your question mentioned preg_replace_callback() so I thought
maybe there was something about the function you didn't like.
Initially, I was using ereg_replace for replacing metric numbers
with
imperial ones. But obviously, ereg_replace replaces all instances in
the given text string. A text containing more than one instance of
the same unit, was replaced by the calculated replacement string of

Definitely, and probably by several orders of magnitude.
A page like this one: http://www.nikehydraulics.com/products/
product_chooser_gb.php?productMaingroup=5&productSubgroup=33
.. gets converted within 0.32 / 0.34 seconds which I think is
quite ok.
If the time covers only the conversion then it's quite terrible.
Looking at the convertTextString() function below there's a few
obvious optimizations waiting to be done, and... turning the
foreach
into a single preg_replace_callback() is the one that begs
implementing the most (the code below's been tested and works):
class convertor
{
const SI_to_Imperial = 0;
const Imperial_to_SI = 1;
function convert($amount, $unit, $direction)
{
return sprintf(
"whatever '%s' of '%s' is in the Imperial system"
, $amount
, $unit
);
}
}
function callbackSI2IS(array $SIspec)
{
return convertor::convert(
$SIspec[1]
, $SIspec[2]
, convertor::SI_to_Imperial
);
}
$p = '~
((?:\d+[,|.])*\d+) # amount
\s*
(m{1,2}\b) # meters or millis
~x';
echo preg_replace_callback(
$p
, 'callbackSI2IS'
, file_get_contents('php://stdin')
);
the function takes a text and an array with converters like:
$converters[] = array ( "metric" => "mm", "imperial" => "in",
"ratio" => 0.039370079, "round" => 1 );
$converters[] = array ( "metric" => "m", "imperial" => "ft",
"ratio"
=> 3.280839895, "round" => 1 );

If you dont unserstand what binary formats are and how to parse them, its pretty hard and its better if you dont try it :) on Friday 10 November 2006 11:55, Kevin wrote: Hi, I am using the function fopen to open a word document, loading the contents into a variable and then using a substr_count to count the number of times a certain string is found, this is allowing me to search through the file and say how many times the word appears, I can even use str_replace to highlight certain words. However Microsoft word seems to put a lot of rubbish in the header and footer, I am wondering is it possible to filter this rubbish out to get the exact document. I also tried using fopen to open a PDF file, but as PDF is handled differently it came up completely different with no words at all, just full of rubbish. Is there anyway I can get this information using a simple fopen? I am basically trying to create a search engine which can read within files similar to google. The only problem I would have after I have done all this is actually weighting the search results, however I would probably have to create the results first and then finally go through the results to try to weight them. Does anyone else have any experience in this or could help me out with any of the problems I am having?

Re: [PHP] php cli and mysql

Because if the mysql.sock file is missing the mysql server won't start. If the mysql server isn't running the PHP script won't work. So I think it helps a lot. He didn't have trouble running the mysql server (in fact the original message said the same script worked when run from apache). So even if the file was there mysql wouldn't listen on it. -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb? You don't know, man. You don't KNOW.

[PHP] Update function for content of existing CD?
Hello all. I am looking for some ideas on how to design / structure a script which checks for updates on files on a existing CD ROM. Every week, I generate content for a CD ROM containing a large number of html pages and PDF files (the CD is distributed to 20 - 30 dealers for ours) . The PHP script which is doing this is outputting a ZIP compressed archive. This ZIP file is then unpacked and burned on a CD. I am now playing with the idea to provide a "check-for-updates" function on the CD. Because the ZIP archives are rather large in size (300 MB), I am not able to keep all ZIP files. One or two months back is ok. My idea is to have a db table on MySQL containing checksums for all files of the archive and have a script that is able to compare those lists. (one ZIP archive has about 400 - 500 files) My idea is: On the CD's start page I could have a link like: http://myserver.com/ look_for_updates.php?myArchiveName=2006-11-10 The script will then compare checksums for the files included in the archive "2006-11-10" and checksums for the recent file list. It then outputs a new ZIP file including new and updated files. Do you think that there is another (more elegant) way for doing this? Keep in mind that a ZIP file contains about 400-500 files which means that the table would grow rapidly week by week. In only one year the table would contain roughly 25000 rows of data. /frank -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Attaching File to be Emailed
I think the OP was about how to send e-mail attachments - not a question about send a file to the client browser... 1) Read the manual about the function "mail" (especially the user notes) http://se2.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php 2) Google for e.g. "php mail attachment" Come back to this list when you have further questions. /frank 24 nov 2006 kl. 06.30 skrev Travis Doherty: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I need to take a word document or pdf file from either a MySQL db or from a directory, which will then be sent via php script. How can I go about doing this? Can anyone provide sample code or point me in the right direction. Brian Dunning started a thread about nine minutes before you on sending a file to the browser. "Serving out a file to Firefox ... headers?" That's pretty much all you need to do to read from a file (adding in whatever fixes the problem he is experiencing with FireFox of course.) If you wanted to store the data in a MySQL database it would be the same procedure, except you would query the database (BLOB column type) and echo that data instead of using readfile() to get your data.
