[PHP] HTML id attribute and arrays
Hi,
PHP converts x[a]=b parameter of the HTTP request as an array named x
with its item named a set to value b. So, it seems possible to have the
following (X)HTML code:
Unfortunatelly, HTML specification does not allow neither "[" nor "]"
inside the id attribute. Specifically:
* Must begin with a letter A-Z or a-z
* Can be followed by: letters (A-Za-z), digits (0-9), hyphens ("-"),
underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".")
* Values are case-sensitive
How should I follow the HTML specification while having the passed
parameters automatically converted to arrays in PHP?
Thank you for any tips,
Martin

Re: [PHP] HTML id attribute and arrays
How should I follow the HTML specification while having the passed parameters automatically converted to arrays in PHP? The "name" attribute, not the "id" attribute, is used as the key when submitting form values. The "name" and "id" attributes do not have to be the same. Thank you, I thought it should be the same (for same reason, maybe compatibility between XHTML and HTML). But could not find anything on the net which states this. So my memories might be corrupted :) Based on first tests, it works (but have not checked the W3C validator yet).

Re: [PHP] HTML id attribute and arrays
The "name" and "id" attributes do not have to be the same.
Thank you, I thought it should be the same
You're probably thinking of:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#h-12.2.3
"The id and name attributes share the same name space. This means that
they cannot both define an anchor with the same name in the same
document. It is permissible to use both attributes to specify an
element's unique identifier for the following elements: A, APPLET,
FORM, FRAME, IFRAME, IMG, and MAP. When both attributes are used on a
single element, their values must be identical."
Confusing, the "name" attribute on a form field ("input", "textarea",
"select", etc) is different to the "name" attribute on a "a" or "form"
element, so this rule does not apply to it.
Thank you, Benjamin, for clarification. This sounds like the source of
my (bogus) feeling.

Re: [PHP] Parsing... the hell of PHP
Glad to have helped (though someone else beat me to the punch with the right answer!) You'll get the hang of it -- the way I learned is to write out your tag that you'd like to use like this: "text here" Then go through and escape the characters that need it: "text here" You can place variables into a string, but if you are using a function to work on that variable, you must concatenate it. "" . htmlentities($url) . ""; (needs concatenation) "$url"; (no function used, no concatenation necessary) Good luck!

Re: [PHP] How to format every secound row in a database result
Or you could simply test the $color variable to see its contents, and
change it if it's what you expected:
$color = "#FF";
if($color = "#FF") {
$color = "#00";
//output
} else {
$color = "#FF";
}
There may be something inherently wrong in this approach, but it has
always worked for me. :o)

Maintain a counter as you display the returned results.
Mod the counter by 2 (rowcounter % 2), set colour according to presence /
absence of a remainder.

Re: [PHP] functions vs classes
I know I sure appreciate reading any discussions on OOP issues, as they are something I just cannot seem to grasp. Thanks! Martin Austin Brent Baisley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/04/2005 08:44 AM To: DuSTiN KRySaK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: PHP Subject:Re: [PHP] functions vs classes At the most basic level a class allows you to group your functions together. On small projects, grouping of functions may not seem to buy you anything. But the bigger the project gets, the more you would like to be able to keep your functions separated into groups. One simple advantage of classes is that they prevent naming conflicts with your functions. This is very important when you are sharing code since you don't know what another programmer named their functions. What if you both name a function "get_one_record"? If you use classes, you only need to keep the names of your classes unique. Which then means you can use the same generic function name across all your classes, and you interface within your classes in a consistent manner, only the context changes. For instance, you may have a class call "companies" and another called "contacts". Within each you may have functions called "get_list", "get_one" and "delete_one". Same function names, but in different classes so they don't conflict. Now you could create a generic interface to view a list, view a record or delete a record. What data is displayed depends on which class you load. The function names are all the same, so you don't need to change your code when you change the context (companies or contacts). This is hardly a tutorial on OOP. But maybe it will give you an idea of the benefits of using classes.

Re: [PHP] Header issues
Perhaps you can do some juggling to make this work, passing the query to the server, then using a client side language to transmit those results to the appropriate frame. Sounds like a big headache to me though.
