[PHP] Converting string representation of a directory to multi-dimensional array
Over the weekend, I was tasked with taking a string representation of a
directory ('\Interface\Addons\\'), which can vary in
length (no set number of depths) to a multi-dimensional array (i.e.
array('Interface' => array('Addons' => array('' => )));).
We came up with a very ugly hack to do it, but I'm curious if anyone can help
us wrap our head around a better solution, without using eval (which we were
able to find that solution quickly, but do not want to use eval).
Our situation is a little unique in the fact that these files don't actually
exist on a filesystem, so it makes it a bit more tough to actually create this
array.
Thanks for any help you can give in cleaning this up somewhat.
Here is the function we currently use:
>
default:
break;
}
}
print_r($array);
?>

Re: [PHP] Server Stall
If you have cURL installed, you could use Curl to get the file, and manipulate
the contents that way.
Here is the standard function I use for grabbing a remote page.
function doRequest($method, $url, $vars = '', $headers = '0') {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookie.txt');
if ($method == 'POST') {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $vars);
}
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if ($data) {
return $data;
}
else {
return curl_error($ch);
}
}
called with
doRequest('GET', '');
$vars would be either a string or an array of post variables, and headers
either shows or hides headers from the webserver. CURLOPT_TIMEOUT is set to
30, but you can change that to how many seconds you'd like to wait.

Subject: [PHP] Server Stall
Hi,
One of my scripts are using wget to get external xml data
$fp = popen ("wget -O - '".$dst."' | cat","r");
Some time $dst host responds very slowly. And that time if I open another
connection to same server the second request waits to complete wget
operation.
I'm very noobie about this file operations. Is there any suggestion about this
situation ?
Regards.

Re: [PHP] Converting string representation of a directory to multi-dimensional array
It will never receive a base name due to the way the data is structured before
being passed into the function.
I appreciate everyone's input on this. It's been tough for us to develop what
we did (since it's such an odd case), and it's good to see other possible
methods to do this in a better manor.

Re: [PHP] array issues
If i'm understanding you correctly, you have something like a flat file, and
hopefully it is artist[tab]artist[tab] with the title being something like
artist1title[tab]artist2title[tab], etc.
If so, use explode.
$artists = explode("\t", $stringofartists);
$songs = explode("\t", $stringoftitles);
$i = 0;
foreach($artists as $key)
{
$information[$key] = $songs[$i];
$i++;
}
I hope this is kind of what you were looking for.
[snip]
Artist[tab]artist[tab]artist[tab] etc as a entry for "artists"

Re: [PHP] Variable variables and references
I've used variable variables probably 5 times in 2 years. They are great when
you need them, but don't usually have a day-to-day use for them.
Here is some sample code of the last time I used it.
if(isset($$key))
{
print($$key);
continue;
} else {
$iquery = "SELECT * FROM `".ROSTER_ITEMSTABLE."` WHERE
`item_name` = '".$iname."' AND `member_id` = '".$row['member_id']."'";
$iresult = $wowdb->query($iquery);
$idata = $wowdb->fetch_assoc($iresult);
$item = new item($idata);
$$key = $item->out();
print $$key;
}
Basically, this is in a for-each loop, that steps through a list of keys for
certain dungeons in World of Warcraft. Instead of putting the data into an
array, I used variable variables to stick the data into a single variable. The
way it works is $key = 'DM'; $$key = $data; The literal translation for $$key
is $DM once the code executes.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [PHP] Variable variables and references
Hi guys, I have just read 'Programming PHP' (O'Reilly) and although I think
it's a great book, I am confused about variable variables and references -
not the mechanics, just where you would use them.
The subject of variable variables is explained but no examples are given as
to why and where you would utilise them.
As for references, the examples given with regard to passing and returning
by reference in functions is clear, but no real examples are given as to
when this would be a preferred approcah - in fact, the authors stress that
due to PHP's copy-on-write mechanism, it is not a frequently-used approcah.
So my question - are there any 'classic' situations in which either should
be used, and where and when do you guys use them in your real-world efforts?

Re: [PHP] Where is phpm
I don't know how much of it I have left. I know that I hacked it up quite a bit when I created an irc bot with the php reference manual. Unfortunately, there really isn't an easy way to get function information as such from inside of php, without parsing php's website. The phpdoc stuff wasn't very intuitive on how to parse it, and trying to search for "xml php documentation" didn't really help (wy too many results, mostly dealing with how to use xml in php).

Re: [PHP] 'lang' file editor ...
I am running into the same problem.
A very VERY basic thing that I worked on for importing yielded this:
preg_match_all('/.*?(?:\$lang([^=]*)=(.*?); *$.*?)+/ms',
file_get_contents("localization/enUS.php"), $parsed);
It wasn't the best, but it worked 90% of the time. Maybe this can help you on
the parsing front.

Subject: Re: [PHP] 'lang' file editor ...
what I'm looking for is something that will make it possible for an end user
to merge [the contents] existing language files (that contain the items for the
same language)
*and* perform translations between languages in a visual/easy way (i.e. without
opening
a text editor) but end up with lang files that still formatted and commented
when I'm done.
it's a three step process:
1. 'parse' 2 files: a 'reference' and a 'translation' file
2. display an editing interface for the 2 files (textareas, filtering [e.g.
show only
untranslated items], sorting, etc)
3. write out a merged/updated file.
probably the merging of 2 existing lang files of the same language will require
a seperate interface than the translation/comparison of 2 files containing
different
languages.
I have made a half-assed attempt to do this some years ago and it worked ok
but wasn't quite the level of sophistication I desired - If no one has
anything like
this lying around then I guess it's time for me to hack up a new thingummy,
using var_export()/print_r() [and running the code to merge, etc] won't cut it
(I've been down that road already) so probably I'm looking
at using either the tokenizer (although how exactly is something I'd have to
look into)
or a combination of preg_match()/preg_replace() (which is something I am
confident
I can now do to the required level - when I tried before my regexp skills sucked
too much).
I'm quite sure I make it work, but I'd be surprised if no-one has gone before me
- there must be tons of projects out there with the same kind of language file
structure ...
maybe I should consider moving my 'shit' into gettext format.

I really have to agree here. I have gone through a mature open source project over the last month or so, and removed EVERY notice. It honestly took all of about 2 hours to actually fix the notices.

Tedd,
I've seen this happen before when someone was able to do a remote code
execution exploit on an old version of a very popular open source
shopping cart project. I'd say the first thing would be to try and
find any include/require statements that are exploitable. In the case
I was dealing with, it was a problem with register_globals on and an
include that looked a bit like this include($path .'script.php');.
How embarrassing.
If you have access to your server logs look for urls such as
