[PHP] global array
Hi,
I am running PHP 5.4 on IIs 6 on a Windows SBS 2003 server. Here is a
streamlined version of the code I am dealing with. I tried to trim as much
as possible to only show code that deals with my issue. The main issue I
think I am having is the global array statement within the function is not
working. From all of the articles I have read, I seem to be doing it
correctly, yet it does not recognize $InvReq as an array within the
function. The array works just fine outside of the function, though. Here
are the error messages:
Notice: Undefined variable: InvReq (line numbers point to inside the
function)
Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given
(line numbers point to inside the function)
If anyone could point out where I have incorrect syntax or something else
that would interfere with the global reference for the array within the
function, or tell me I can't do what I am doing using arrays, but assume I
don't have the ability to write to an external work table, which is why I am
trying to use an array in the first place. Thanks.
-
Part ForecastPart
NumberAmount Needed";
reset ($InvReq);
while (list($PartID,$need) = each($InvReq)) {
$needout = number_format($need);
$display_block .=
"$PartID$needout";
}
$display_block .= "";
//---this function adds or subtracts inventory to/from the BOM materials for
the part passed.
//---it also can add parts that make parts with their inventory total for a
multiple level BOM
function Part_BOM($PartID, $need, $phase) {
global $Invreq;
$BOMreq = $need * $BOMQty; //$BOMQty &
$BOMPartID are pulled from a database keyed by $PartID
if ($phase == 1) {
if (array_key_exists($BOMPartID, $InvReq)) {
$InvReq[$BOMPartID] +=
$BOMreq; //first time through adds to array item totals
} else {
$InvReq[$BOMPartID] =
$BOMreq;
}
} else {
if (array_key_exists($BOMPartID, $InvReq)) {
$InvReq[$BOMPartID] -=
$BOMreq; //second time through subtracts from array item totals
}
}
if (--check for parts within other parts for multiple level
BOM--) {
Part_BOM($BOMPartID, $BOMreq, $phase);
//this calls itself and can refer/loop back to itself several times
}
}
?>

RE: [PHP] global array
You're a genius!! Thank you. Uppercase 'R', sheesh. PHP is sooo picky. I worked
for two days trying to figure that one out. Anyway, for future reference, you
can pass the entire array as a variable like that?? and do you know if the '+='
statement will create an array entry if one doesn't exist?

RE: [PHP] What do you call the end-user?
Hi,
I have always held that the opinion of the end-user/customer is the most
important goal in any systems development project, small or large,
regardless of the programming language/environment. The database structure,
programming, and interfaces are your product. If folks don't like it or
can't figure out how to use it or can't wait until something better comes
along, your product won't survive long in the marketplace. This attitude
should also be held for developers creating in-house solutions as well.
While management may have an overall goal for the purpose of the
programming, the people who will eventually be the ones typing/clicking
their way through your programs are the ones to ultimately satisfy. This
means more pro-active design work with the front line users is always
advisable to create long lasting programs/systems. I use mostly PHP to
create web-based interface screens for AS400 programs in a manufacturing
environment. I can spend all the time I want programming the next greatest
program, but if the guys in the plant don't/won't use it, I have completely
wasted my time. My two cents.
Thanks,

Technically, in the US, I thought it is the end-consumer that needs to pay a sales tax to the state where they live. Consumer retail businesses are required to tack them on at the point of sale as a convenience for both the consumer and the government, then pass the money on. The seller only pays taxes, to the municipality(s) where their business is physically located, based on their net profit. So the sales tax itself does not come out of the company's pocket. The company bears the cost of tracking, processing, and forwarding the taxes to the government(s) involved, but that is a deductible expense. Sales taxes are a tedious, but not costly, normal business expense. Really, how hard is it for computer savvy people to sort their sales transactions by customer's state and sum up the sales tax amounts paid so they can write a check every quarter. Many businesses would be happy to have to mail 50 checks every quarter, one to each state. That means they are making sales in every state! That sounds like a profitable business to me. And as far as filling out 50 sales and use tax forms each quarter, they have these things called computers now that make pulling in data and printing forms happen at the touch of a button. Maybe some enterprising programmer could write software to do just that and sell it on the internet. We need to stop playing idealistic revolutionary and help shape real solutions. The fact that you are allowed to run a business on the internet is the internet freedom you are looking for. You have won the revolution! Now, deal with the realities of running a business. Putting your business on the internet should not be a magic pass to avoid the costs of doing business. We need to admit we are part of the system and figure out a streamlined way for internet businesses to pay their fair share. The "Free" in free economy does not mean it doesn't cost money, time, effort, etc. to do business. The internet is not a magic cloud run by fairy dust. The internet was created by military and higher educational systems, both tax supported entities. Corporations and governments maintain the infrastructure that keeps the internet working. Without governments and corporations there would be no internet. They are the internet. The alternative is to go back to ham radios. Sorry for the rant, this is a hot button topic for me.

Yeah, it grew out of government funding before advertising via educational institutions and the military. Would you rather have a free economy supported internet or a government controlled internet? Also, for those of us who are old enough to remember posting to text based bulletin boards, the influx of corporate money has greatly increased the infrastructure and functionality of the internet and has helped to make it a global phenomenon, which a government supported internet may have never become. Money makes all things possible. If you don't think so, try building a server farm and hooking up to a trunk line without it. My two cents. Now, I'm broke.

[PHP] select function
Hi,
I can't remember if this is the PHP list for RPG programmers or not, so
apologize if this is the wrong one.
Is there an equivalent command in PHP for the SELECT statement in RPG? I see
switch, which is a little similar, but far from how it actually functions.
For those not familiar with the SELECT statement here is how I envision it
working in a PHP format similar to switch:
SELECT {
WHEN $Auth = 0:
WHEN $A = 1:
echo('$Aprint_list');
WHEN $B = 1:
echo('$Bprint_list');
WHEN $A = 2:
echo('$Aprint_list');
echo('$Aprint_list');
WHEN $B = 2:
echo('$Bprint_list');
echo('$Bprint_list');
DEFAULT:
}
The syntax may be a little off, but you get the picture. No breaks are
needed because it only performs the first match it comes to, then exits the
SELECT statement when finished the commands under that match. Putting a WHEN
statement with nothing to perform means exactly that, if this matches, do
nothing, then exit the SELECT statement. I hope that makes sense. The big
difference is you can put anything behind each WHEN statement as opposed to
looking at only the one variable like with switch. I am thinking I just need
to get creative with the switch or elseif commands, but thought I would ask
the list first if they had any better suggestions.

RE: [PHP] how old is this version of PHP?
I apologize if this is off topic, but this raises a question for me. Why can't new versions be backwards compatible? Is it really that difficult to accomplish? This has been a complaint of mine for years with Windows ever since we went from 95 to 98. I am an AS400 programmer and I have legacy programs written in RPG II, which died 20 years ago, and they still run fine on the newest version of AS400 or iSeries or Power System or whatever the heck it is called now. I also have PHP scripts that are many years old that work just fine the way they are, if a new version doesn't come along and make me have to reprogram for no reason just because it can't handle older code. Really, have Do loops and data calls changed that much over the years? I mean, all you do is set a condition, use a variable key field, and voila, data is pulled and processed, no big deal. Yeah, you can get fancy with it, but the core basics are still the same. I have been programming for over 35 years and like to think that once a program is built it should run forever. Do we just accept that we have to rewrite every program we ever wrote every time a new version comes out? A little extreme, but you get my point. Comments? Suggestions? (I am also the kind of guy who thinks quality made hand tools from the 1800s are superior to many purchased today at Lowes or Home Depot.)
