[PHP] Re: XML Parsing simpleXML Arrays Question
Richard Luckhurst wrote:
Hi List
I have taken the advice of a number of people on the list and am back trying to
write my XML parser using SimpleXML. I am having a problem and I believe the
problem is my lack of understanding of arrays and simpleXML in spite of much
google searching and manual reading. I would appreciate some help.
The piece of XML I am parsing is as follows. I am working with a small section
to see if I can get my head around it.
AA
PR
If I use the following
$file = "test.xml";
$data = simplexml_load_file($file);
foreach ($data->vcrSummary as $vcrSummary)
{
var_dump($vcrSummary);
}
Then I get
object(SimpleXMLElement)#5 (1) {
["vcr"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(2) "AA"
[1]=>
string(2) "PR"
}
}
Which is pretty much what I would expect as there are 2 vcr tags.
If I then use
$file = "test.xml";
$data = simplexml_load_file($file);
foreach($data as $vcrSummary)
{
$z = $vcrSummary->vcr;
print "$z \n";
}
I get 3 blank lines and then AA which is the first of the two vcr values. The
examples I am looking at suggest I should have gotten both of the vcr values.
Many of the examples I am looking at say to use echo instead of print, eg
echo $vcrSummary->vcr;
and that just gives me AA and not both values that I would expect.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here.

[PHP] Parsing AJAX post data -- The Way
[EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2007-01-24 23:41:19 -0700:
Just wondering what smart people do for parsing data sent by the
Javascript XMLHTTP object--e.g., http.send("post",url,true)...
In a normal form submit, the $_POST global nicely allocates form
elements as array elements automatically. But with the AJAX way, the
data get stuffed inside $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA as a string, thereby
making extraction more tedious.
Try setting this header before sending your Ajax request:
http_request.setRequestHeader("Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
Then $_POST should have an array, as expected. But $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
will not be available.

Two usual possibilities: 1) To install two Apache Services ( Windows environment ) Apache 1.3.xx running php 4 Apache 2 running php 5 http://www.educar.pro.br/ 2) To use only one Apache2 Service Setting two virtual hosts, one for php4 and other for php5 http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/apache22_vhosts.php I've done this (1) on linux and it works fine, php 4 on 1.3xx and 5 php 5 on apache 2. I believe the reason this works is that you have two php executables, each with unique configurations. So, if you, say, wanted to have php 5 running two apache servers, it would probably work if you recompile php 5 and install it into a new directory. I have no experience with windows. But here are some notes for installing on linux/unix machines: If your system already came with a pre-installed php 5 executable, then when you download and compile the new php 5, it will automatically install in /usr/local. But if you had previously compiled php 5 and it is already in /usr/local, you might want to install in a new directory, which you can do by feeding configure a new prefix: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/new_install_directory You might also want to feed configure a path for the php.ini file: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/new_install_directory --with-config-file-path=PATH But if you don't, php.ini will automatically be installed in PREFIX/lib: /usr/local/new_install_directory/lib You will have to read the INSTALL file that comes with the distribtution, becaue you also have to set a few other basic values for configure to work with. -- _____ Myron Turner http://www.room535.org http://www.bstatzero.org http://www.mturner.org/XML_PullParser/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Assigning another class to a class variable is a standard OO technique,
so it's not surprising that it's implemented in PHP. I believe it's
called "composition", though that term seems to have a wider definition.
What is it that seems odd about what you call the getFoo()/getBar()
"handshake" ? Actually, what do you mean by that? I could be missing
something, but at the moment the two classes and their calls seem pretty
straight-forward.

You can do this in Perl:
my $c = (fn(@a))[2];
Not to mention C++, Python, or quite a few other languages.
But in PHP, this is a syntax error:
$c = (fn($a))[2];
Well, DUH! THat's what the OP was curious about: why is it an error?
Also, it's not clear what the original syntax is meant to do:
explode($needle, $array)[3]
explode() takes a string and converts it to an array based on the
separator expression. This might make sense:
explode($needle, $array[3])
where $array[3] is a string.
But explode($needle, $array), it turns out, simply returns the string
"Array".
Not at all! Watch this:
I thought the issue was this:
$array = 'O M F G';
$needle = ' ';
$array_2 = array('O', 'M', 'F', 'G');
assert($array == explode($needle, $array_2));

I think what you want to look for is how to write a socket server. You'll find a lot about this via google. A socket server lets you open up a persistent port for listening with a process that runs continually in the background and then allows you to spawn off multiple sockets as they come in, like a web server or ftp or ssh. My guess is that there's a fair amount of complexity here that you'll have to investigate. For instance, you'll have to preempt port 80, the standard port on which httpd listens, forward the http request to your web server on a local port, retrieve the response and pass it back to the client. And presumably you'll have to be doing this for multiple clients. I think someone on this list suggested using AJAX. That would be much simpler. If you had to have data persistence, for instance, you could store data in temporary files on the server or in temporary database entries, or you could simply pass data back and forth using POST. The script which handles the AJAX requests would be the "component" that resides on the server. _ Myron Turner http://www.room535.org http://www.bstatzero.org http://www.mturner.org/XML_PullParser/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Where you have the string: DirectoryIndex index.php index.html add: index.php5 to it. And where you have the string: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Change it to: AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php Also, add another line: AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 Make sure you include both the php4 and php5 modules, restart apache and voila!

Actually, I tried that, but it didn't work. It still saw the hyphen as
an operator. The other thing about this is that the hyphen is followed
by a space, so that it's asking for a range between the period and the
space, which you can't do, since the space character has a lower ascii
value than than the period. The space is more obvious in a monospaced font.

You'll get these from the attributes array, which is an associative array:

the element's attributes (if any).The keys of this array are the
attribute names, the values are the attribute values.Attribute names
are case-folded

What you want to do here is to process the file, as you were doing,
checking for the attribute value you want, then capture
the element data once the attribute name is found. Here's a way to do
that (not tested but should work):
$eventname = "";
$venuename = "";
$venuecity = "";
$found = "";
function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {
global $eventname, $venuename, $venuecity;
// speed up the parsing since all the values have been found
if(!empty($eventname) && !empty($eventname) && !empty($eventname) {
return;
}
$found = $attrs['n'];
}
function characterData($parser, $data) {
global $eventname, $venuename, $venuecity;
// speed up the parsing since all the values have been found
if(!empty($eventname) && !empty($eventname) && !empty($eventname) {

switch ($found) {

okay then what about this?
function real_filesize_linux($file) {
@exec("filesize $file",$out,$ret);
if ( $ret <> '0' ) return FALSE;
else return($out[0]);
}
if you want it on a remote machine, you should use something like
ssh2_exec() instead of exec()
hope that helps
Zoltán Németh
He was interested on using it over HTTP, not over SSH...
I don't know if there are faster ways, but you could open a socket to the
host on port 80, get the file, and only read the header where it says
content-length: 400 for example, then you know the file is 400bytes
when you
download it.
something like:
$socket = fsockopen($host,$port);
$size = 0;
while($size == 0)
{
$line = fgets($socket);
if(strlen($line) >= 17)
{
if(substr(strtolower($line),0,14) == "content-length")
{
$size = substr($line,16)
}
}
Now your remote file size is in $size.
It is not too fast, but everything in PHP is fast and so is this.

This question has come up before, and out of curiosity I did some
checking. If you use firefox liveheaders, it turns out that the file
size on the linux file system is exactly the size shown in the
content-length header. This is also the same size as returned by php's
filesize() and by the php stat() in its size element. Linux reports the
actual file size, not the storage size, which you can get by asking to
see the number of blocks used to store the file (ls -ls).
I wrote a small perl script which returns the bytes read when a file is
read from the disk and it, too, agrees with the filesize and header
sizes. In Windows, the actual filesize is also returned by filesize and
stat, not the size on disk (filesize uses stat). Also, in the PHP
manual, the fread example uses filesize to set the number of bytes to read:
|contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
|The point of this is to read in the exact number of bytes for the file,
not the entire size of the file's storage on disk which would contain
garbage. This has to work on both windows and linux.
Here's the perl script:
use strict;
use Fcntl;
sysopen (FH, "index.htm", O_RDONLY);
my $buffer;
my $len = sysread(FH, $buffer, 8192,0);
print $len,"\n";
If you are really anxious about size you can exec out to this script and
get the file size.

Sorry the above version of the script was hard-coded for a small test
file. Here's the general version:
# get_len.pl
use strict;
use Fcntl;
sysopen (FH, $ARGV[0], O_RDONLY) or die "\n";
my $buffer;
my $bytes_read = 0;
my $offset;
while($bytes_read = sysread(FH, $buffer, 8192, $offset)) {
$offset+=$bytes_read ;
}
print $offset,"\n";
From an exec() you'd call it with the file name:
perl get_len.pl
$len = exec("perl get_len.pl $filename");

It has to be on the machine from which the pages are being served.
There have been several workable suggestions for different
possibilities. I think it would help if you gave the context for this.
Are these pages on your own web site? Are you downloading pages from
third-party web sites using the browser? Are you using the command line
to download pages from other servers?
Here is a script which will get the headers for any file you can
download from the web:
\n";
} else {
$out = "HEAD http://www.example.org/any_page.html / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$out .= "Host: www.example.org\r\n";
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
fwrite($fp, $out);
$header = "";
while (!feof($fp)) {
$header .= fgets($fp, 256);
}
fclose($fp);
echo $header;
}
?>
In response you will get the headers:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2007 14:57:54 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.51 (Fedora)
Last-Modified: Sun, 11 Mar 2007 13:00:03 GMT
ETag: "10eb0036-4d1-3c2bbac0"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 1233
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
This includes the content-length, which is what you want. This script
will download only the headers.
You will not get a content-length headers for php files, since they are
in effect scripts and their length is not know in advance. The same
holds true for files which contain SSI.

For auto increment values, you don't have to specify the id. For example:

This is not the cleanest way and some databases do not actually
increment auto id fields (e.g. they could fill in the blanks from
previous deletes etc.).
Much better is to use the function in the MySQL API to get the insert id

My own knowledge of mysql is about 5 years old and never really used.
But I was recently asked to do something that required some mysql
(noting too much, fortunately for me), so I've been doing some reading
and am interested in questions that come up on the list.
An earlier post called attention to a concurrency problem. Wouldn't
getting the last inserted ID from LAST_INSERT_ID()
suffer from the same limitations as any of the other solutions which do
a select to get the last ID? I assume if you are completely in control
of the database, you could create a lock file using flock() and remove
the lock once the Id is retrieved using any of these methods. I guess
what I'm wondering is whether the simplest suggestion is the one that
would use the email address as a condition in the WHERE clause to
extract the ID?

No, it's a MySQL specific feature that is atomic with the insert and so you are guaranteed that the the returned ID is the exact automatic ID associated with the most recent INSERT for the connection handle. Unfortunately auto increment is MySQL specific and so it isn't transferrable to other database engines. The problem is if the ID returned is not somehow linked to the transaction which inserted the row. If you have an insert followed by a select to retrieve the ID, in the interrum, another user may be created by another process and you will retrieve the wrong ID. I don't believe this is an issue for MySQL. The last inserted ID isn't stored for the database table, it's stored for the connection to the database. As such there's no race condition unless the developer does something silly, like issue another insert over the same connection before requesting the previous last inserted id. Just to be sure though the following is from the MySQL online documentation: For LAST_INSERT_ID(), the most recently generated ID is maintained in the server on a per-connection basis. It is not changed by another client. It is not even changed if you update another AUTO_INCREMENT column with a non-magic value (that is, a value that is not NULL and not 0). Using LAST_INSERT_ID() and AUTO_INCREMENT columns simultaneously from multiple clients is perfectly valid. Each client will receive the last inserted ID for the last statement that client executed. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/getting-unique-id.html Cheers, Rob. Thanks.

I am confused with the flock function and its usage. I have jobs which

put a
job_controller in crontab to check regularly if the runners run. But
after
a while I have a bunch of job_controller running, so to avoid that I
tried
to use flock.
I try to put this in the job_controller:
$wouldblock=1;
$f=fopen("controller.lock", "r");
flock($f, LOCK_EX+LOCK_NB, $wouldblock) or die("Error! cant lock!");
hoping that as long as the first job_controller run or don't close the
file
handle, a second job_controller won't be able to lock the
controller.lockfile and die, but it didn't work.
I also try this:
$wouldblock=1;
$f=fopen("controller.php", "r");
flock($f, LOCK_EX+LOCK_NB, $wouldblock) or die("Error! cant lock!");
hoping the first job_controller will lock it-self, but it didn't work.
I also thought of writing in the lock file the PID of the first
job_controller and then compare it and if it doesn't match then die,
but my
main concern is , if the server crash down the "surviving" lock file
will
prevent any job_controller to start.
So how could prevent multiple instance of the same script? Is flock
the best
way?
You can do it with flock, but then you end up sooner or later with a
locked file from an "exit" or killed script, and then you have to know
to remove locks older than X minutes.
You could also just do a "mkdir" for your lock, and check its
filemtime. You could even use "touch" within loop of the script to
make sure the script is still going, and safely assume that any lock
older than X seconds is stale and can be ignored/removed.
I've never used locks in PHP, but have used them in Perl. In Perl a
lock is automatically released on exit or when the locked file is
closed. Is that not the same in PHP? According the the man page for
the C version of flock, it too releases the lock on close and C's exit
closes all streams. So, Perl is consistent with that. Just wondering
for myself it this isn't the case with PHP, in case I ever want to use
a lock.
It's not clear to me from the original question, Yvan, whether you are
able to get any lock at all. That is, if you are using LOCK_NB and a
lock is already on the locked file, then the lock will be refused and
the call will return immediately without a lock. So, the only way to
use LOCK_NB is in a loop. Generally, this is not recommended, because
in the time the loop gets back to making a second call, another file
might have gotten the lock. However, in your case this might not
matter, since you are the only one sending out these job controllers,
and eventually all your processes will have had a chance at the lock file.
On the other hand, if you use LOCK_EX, the call will block until a lock
is available. Again, in your case this might not matter either. The
danger here is that you will get a process that doesn't shut down. You
can deal with this by setting an alarm which is caught using a signal
handler that can exit the process.
If you use LOCK_NB with a loop, you can also break out of the loop and
exit after a time as well. You'd probably want to use sleep to time your
loop, not a counter, since the counter might swallow up cpu.

DokuWicki uses the PHP 4 object oriented model throughout, and user plugins, such as mine, are written to the same model. DokuWicki contains over 300 php files and more than 3 megs of code.

Not for me it doesn't.
That only seems to work when the form is submitted as
application/x-www-form-urlencoded. When the form is submitted as
multipart/form-data, php://input is blank.
You probably could use this small Perl script via exec:
#!/usr/bin/perl
if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "POST") {
read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});

If you call this script via exec, it can't return the POST data send
to the PHP script right?
You're right. It doesn't carry across from Perl to PHP. As penance, I
worked out how to do it using PHP:
btw, we are here on a PHP list, not PERL :)
Does this mean you wouldn't use exec or system to run anything but PHP
scripts? Or just that you wouldn't talk about it here, under penalty of
exclusion from PHP heaven? :)

Re: [PHP] retrieve POST body?
That's not been my experience. I've tested it with enctype="multipart/form-data", since that's what you asked for, though the enctype wasn't included in my sample code. I've run it on PHP Version => 5.1.6 (Fedora core 4) and PHP 4.3.11 Fedora core 2. Here it is on Fedora 2: http://www.mturner.org/temp/post_data.php The code is http://www.mturner.org/temp/post_data.phps That latter is just a symbolic link to the former. It's possible that there's been a change in 5.2 that changes this behavior, or possibly the way the FreeBSD and Windows handle STDOUT. My little earlier snippet of Perl should work on any system, and so if you know any Perl, an elaboration of that would be the way to go. Justin Frim wrote: Sorry burst your bubble, but your solution isn't a viable one in my case. php://input only works if the form is submitted using application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

(Both PHP 5.2.1 running as a CGI on Windows and PHP 5.2.0 running as an Apache module on FreeBSD exhibit this behaviour.)

[21:59] Well, if you want to pick a POST apart yourself, sure [21:59] set a mime type PHP doesn't understand and it will be in http_raw_post_data and then you can do whatever you want with it So the answer is "sort of." You would have to parse the POST data yourself, but it is technically a possibility. That was also in the back of my mind when responding. When file uploads first came out and weren't yet handled by the Perl CGI module, we had to learn to parse the input stream ourselves. It's still not clear why that should be necessary at this time. For instance, if it's necessary to pass in CGI parameters at the same time as sending out a file, the parameters can be tacked onto a query string and they will be packed into both the $_POST and the $_GET arrays. -- _ Myron Turner http://www.room535.org http://www.bstatzero.org http://www.mturner.org/XML_PullParser/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I've lost track of why the OP needs an md5 or whatever it is of the
raw POST data, but MAYBE using an unknown MIME type and putting all
the other args in the URL as $_GET parameters, would leave them with
only the file itself to be "parsed" which would be pretty minimal
parsing...
There exists a mode of HTTP digest authentication where a header
contains an MD5 hash of an MD5 hash of the POST body (along with a few
other things that effectively add a salt to the hash, and provide the
actual username/password authentication). This is used for "integrity
protection", to safegaurd against any malicious proxy or "man in the
middle" attack from altering the form data while it's in transit from
the authorized user to the web server.
I'm a little lost here though... how can it be possible to put data
into the URI as well as the POST body? The request is originating
from the user-agent, not the server. Regardless though, the real
problem with this proposed hack is how, through HTML code, would one
instruct the user-agent to submit the form using multipart/form-data,
but without it creating a Content-Type: multipart/form-data header in
the request!? This sounds like an impossible task to me.
In one of my early replies to this question, I suggested using Perl.
But I assume you prefer not to. However, I have tried putting my head
around a hack, which does use a small Perl script but which might do the
trick for you.You use the Perl script in the action attribute of
your form. The Perl script saves the entire posted output to a file,
then it sends back a page which uses Javascript to redirect back to the
php script, where you can process the file. You send the file name back
to the php script from the perl script in the query string of the url.
Here goes:
' .$_GET['file'] . '';
}
?>
Send this file:
-
Then the Perl script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# save.cgi
if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "POST") {
read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
}
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
open FH, "> /var/www/html/d_wiki/upload/tmp.fil";
print FH $buffer;
close FH;
print '';
print 'location =
</tt><tt>"upload.php?file=tmp.fil;"';
print 'Redirecting to upload.php?file=tmp.fil';
You don't have to know much about Perl here. The only thing you would
want to do is find out how to construct a unique temporary file name,
for the saved file, which you would then probably delete in the PHP
script after processing with PHP.
Hope this helps.

If I do go the route of using something else to accept the form data and then executing the PHP script, I'd be leaning more toward somehow executing the PHP script directly rather then sending back a redirect to the user-agent to re-send the request to the PHP script. Reason being that if a file is uploaded, it ends up getting sent twice. For a large file, that's a lot of extra HTTP traffic. I'm not sure I follow here, because the Perl script would be saving the posted file to disk. It would then send back a redirect with the name of the file in the query string of the url, which would point to a php script that would then read the file from the disk. So the file shouldn't be sent more than once. In any event, I do think that at least a few of use are agreed that somehow the whole post should be made available in PHP.

One way to do this would be to let the script check itself:

pcntl_signal(SIGALRM, "signal_handler", true);

If you want the first, you should look at exec() or system() or such.
If there's PHP code, there's no sense in passing variables to the CGI

As I understand this, you want to create a web page of your own which

web page. You suggest that the response string for "success" is
relatively stable and that this string is this what you want to search
for in the response.
This doesn't sound like a very complicated problem. You can do this
either using Ajax or not. The basic solution is the same. You have a
script on the server which accepts the form data from your page and
re-sends it to the supplier's site. If your supplier's site accepts
form data using GET, then you can simply create a url with the form data
attached in a query string:
http://my.supplier.com?fdata_1=data1&fdata_2=data2
Send this url to your suppler using file_get_contents:
$return_string =
file_get_contents("http://my.supplier.com?fdata_1=data1&fdata_2=data2";);
This will return the html file as a string which you can then parse with
preg_match() for the 'success' string.
The problem is more involved if your supplier doesn't accept GET but
only accepts POST. Then you have to use either curl or fsockopen to
post your data. I've tested the following fockopen script and it
worked for me:
\n";
} else {
$out = "POST http://my.supplier.com/form_page.html / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$out .= "Host: my.supplier.com\r\n";
$post = "form_data_1=data_1&formdata_2=data_2";
$len = strlen($post);
$post .= "\r\n";
$out .="Content-Length: $len\r\n";
$out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
$out .= $post;
fwrite($fp, $out);
$result= "";
while (!feof($fp)) {
$result .= fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
echo $result;
}
?>
You have to adhere to the above sequence. The posted data comes last
and it is preceded by a content-length header which tells the receiving
server how long the posted data is. The returned result is the html
page returned from your posted request.

You have to adhere to the above sequence. The posted data comes last
and it is preceded by a content-length header which tells the receiving
server how long the posted data is. The returned result is the html
page returned from your posted request.
It's a nice script, but you're way better off using cURL, you can
simply pass a PHP array as POST form data.

Thanks. That's good to know. My experience with these kinds of things
is with Perl, with which I've done an awful lot of screen-scraping. But
I haven't had any actual practical experience with cURL. I've looked at
it, but that's all. Also, I was under the impression that cURL is an
extension which is not always installed, whereas fsockopen() is a
built-in. There is one server I sometimes use, a shared server, where it
isn't installed. The other servers I use are all independent machines.

I cannot delete a couple of folders on the server as the have the owner
'nobody'. All I am doing is making the folders with
mkdir($customer_id, 0755);
Now is there a way to set the ownership when I created the folder. What is
the appropriate folder levels for securoty (755, 640?)
Thanks,
R.
If they are set to 600, and they were created by the web server, then
you won't be able to delete them under your own username, using ftp,
which is why filezilla doesn't work. But you should be able to write a
php script which can delete them when it is called from your browser.
Before you can remove the directory, you will first have to delete all
the files it holds:
$dir = "images";
foreach($files as $file) {
unlink ($dir. '/' .$file);
}
remdir($dir);

What is your relationship to the wordpress blog? If you have control
over it, the easiest way to do this is in the browser with Javasacript.
You can then send the contents to the server, using Ajax if need be,
where it can be written to the file.
var content = document.getElementById("content').innerHTML;
Or if the page is being sent back to the server through a form, then put
the content into a form variable and read that when the page gets back
to the server, then write it to the file.

[PHP] file_exists, Windows, and EasyPHP
I've written a plugin for DokuWiki which uses the following DokuWiki
function for reading files:
function io_readFile($file,$clean=true){
$ret = '';
if(@file_exists($file)){
if(substr($file,-3) == '.gz'){
$ret = join('',gzfile($file));
}else if(substr($file,-4) == '.bz2'){
$ret = bzfile($file);
}else{
$ret = join('',file($file));
}
}
if($clean){
return cleanText($ret);
}else{
return $ret;
}
}
On Linux machines, this seems to behave as you would hope, that is, if
the file doesn't exist then you get back a null string. In any event,
none of the users who have installed it on Linux machines have had a
problem with it. And I have done several installs myself. But one user
installed the plugin on a Windows machine and the code fell through to
$ret = join('',file($file)) even though there was no $file. The result
was an error message:
Permission denied in *E:\Program Files\EasyPHP
2.0b1\www\dokuwiki\inc\io.php* on line *97
*Line 97 is the join. So the function is attempting to read a
non-existent file.
I was just wondering whether there is some difference in the way his PHP
version handles the @ operator in:
if(@file_exists($file))
That is, is it possible that by suppressing errors, this expression
somehow returns true? And is it a bug?
Thanks.

I don't really know, since I am depending on the user's feed-back. But
apparently he hadn't done anything yet with the plugin, so no files
would have been in that directory. But it's a possibility since the code
doesn't check for whether the file is readable.
It could just be a Windows issue, but I thought I'd check here, because
if it's something that others have run into and which I can rectify I'd
want to do it.

I assume by spaces you are referring to E:\Program Files\. Well, if a

The problem is that the Restarting the Service dialogue doesn't get
displayed until AFTER the Service Restarts even though it appears before the
shell_exec command. I've tried exec and passthru and its always the same - I
want it to display the "Service was restarted" - wait for 4 seconds and then
redirect to the main page. Instead nothing happens on screen for the browser
user until the service has restarted at which point they are returned to
index.php - its as if the exec and the sleep and the refresh to index.php
are all kind of running concurently.
Can someone PLEASE tell me what I'm doing wrong - or shed light on how I
should do this.

You have to keep in mind that you are dealing with the difference in
speed between something that is taking place on the sever and something
that is being transmitted over a network. You don't make it clear
whether this is an in-house site or whether it is used by people at a
distance. If the latter, what you describe is not surprising at all.
I've never had a reason to look into how PHP sequences events when it
pumps out a web page, but it's not unusual for scripts in Perl, for
instance, to show delays in browser output when doing something on the
server. One consideration would be how long amavisd-new takes to reload.
I'm not very well-informed about hacking and security, but it would seem
to me that you are taking a risk by giving users root privileges to
restart amavisd-new.

Re: [PHP] Closing a connection to browser without exiting the script
I think the Ajax solution that John suggests is the ticket. I did something like this for a site that books reservations for various services. But before the booking can occur, the customer has to get info on the various service options, which are returned from a separate database server. This takes time and what the company needed in the meantime was a message saying that the query was being processed, please wait. My solution was to print the please wait message to the screen, while accessing the database using an Ajax call. Since with an Ajax call you are not waiting for a page to load there's no hour glass or clock, etc., and from the user's perspective there's a seamless experience. I used Perl for my server-side script, but if you prefer PHP you can create a CGI script using PHP and run the same process as your original PHP page. Just put #!/usr/bin/php at the top of the script, before the Myron John Comerford wrote: You could also use an Ajax call from the main window to start the processing without opening a second window.

[PHP] Re: preg_split
1. A preg_ expression has to have the delimeters '/^([^,]+),\s?(.*)/'.
2. Why do you need this complex expression to split at a comma? This
'/,/' would do the trick. And even simpler
explode(',', $line);
Also your regex ^([^,]+) asks the perl regex parser to find the
beginning of a line at which there is one or more instances of NO Comma.
That is, [^ ] is a negation, so that [^0-9] means do not match any
numbers.
Again, the rest of your regex asks for a match for anything else that
follows 0 or 1 spaces, presumably the rest of the line.
So that any possible split would gobble up everything after the first
instance in which the beginning of a line did not start with a comma,
which would mean that you would get null results.
3. Is there a reason why you are using the flag PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE?
Regular expressions are always tricky, so I hope the above comments are
not totally out to lunch!

The regex works in BBEdit, where I can search for

Re: [PHP] Re: preg_split
I see, I miusunderstood, read too quickly, and thought you simply wanted
to split at the comma. The suggestion that you use exlode(',',2) makes
sense to me. You could do the same with
preg_split ($pattern, $string, 2)
Or for a more complex regex, there's preg_match, which puts the results
in an array of matches. That would to me seem the more logical choice
if you want to save parenthesized data. But I'm an old Perl programmer
and there we don't have the extras that PHP gives to preg_split. So, in
Perl it's split() for splitting and m// for matching. Perhaps in
programming as in art, less is more.

Re: [PHP] CSS / PHP / Javascript
You can use a browser sniffer, where they've done all the work for you, and then link in the appropriate stylesheet using document.write(). I don't have personal experience with the IE conditionals, but I would be concerned that they'd get you into a bit of a box when it comes to recognizing other browsers. See: http://www.webreference.com/tools/browser/javascript.html Jochem Maas wrote: hmmm, this reply turned into something that resembles a rant about halfway thru... still ... maybe it's helpful in some way. Ed Lazor wrote: I'm reading a book on CSS and how you can define different style sheets for different visitors. I'm wondering how you guys do it. The book recommends using Javascript functions for identifying the user's browser and matching them with the corresponding style sheets. Anyone using PHP for this instead - specifically with defining style sheets for different target browsers and platforms? having to define CSS files for particular browsers and/or platforms is indicative of the crap we have to deal with - in theory you should NOT be targeting browser/platform specificallt AT ALL. you should be writing stylesheets for different types of user-agents (as defined by the W3C media types) - but who is really doing that. I recommend trying to build your sites using CSS that all browsers understand - i.e. avoid software/platform/version specific hacks whenever possible - when you have to add such a hack try to use a technique that you can unobtrusively incorporate into an existing CSS file. the man named tantek has lots of techniques you can abuses ;-) : e.g. http://tantek.com/CSS/Examples/midpass.html also consider that maybe you shouldn't try and tackle every visual discrepency between 2 different browsers/platforms! - you may have clients who bully you into 'fixing' layout in WeirdBrowser1.4 for instance - you need to develop a means to explain the problem to clients in such a way that they understand that not everything is under your control, and that they can't make you endlessly chase moving targets (i.e. make the client understand that web != print). if a client is willing to pay for every mindnumbing hour spent fixing arcane browser specific display 'bugs' then everything is okay - but don't get stuck working for weeks for no pay because some marketing manager has 'decided' he/she knows better what a website is and to what extent you must comply to his implicit wishes [i.e. you can break every 'rule' of website building and ignore/rape any/every relevant specification/standard so long as everything ispixel perfect in every browser according to the original mockup supplied by a graphic designer who can't even grasp the concept of screen resolution (I know plenty of print-based designers that fall into this category)] -Ed --PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- _ Myron Turner http://www.room535.org http://www.bstatzero.org http://www.mturner.org/XML_PullParser/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Space in regex
The underscore plus alphanumeric are included in \w, so to get a regex such as you want: [\w\s\.\-&\']+ You should escape the dot because the unescaped dot stands for any single character, which is why .* stands for any and all characters.

[PHP] Re: Space in regex
The \w regex includes all alphanumeric characters plus the underscore,
i.e. all valid characters that make up a C identifier. So what you
want can be expressed as follows:
[\w\s\.\-&]+
You have to escape the dot because in a regular espression it
represents any single character, which is why .* represents all
characters.

[PHP] Re: PHP and XML
I'm not sure you are going about this the right way. It's my impression that you may not yet have learned the basics of XML. Really, the very basics are quite simple. For your address book, for instance, you could create a simple XML structure such as this: Then write a script which fills in the data. 1. Start out with the document root: echo ""; 2. Fill in the data: echo "$first_name"; echo "$last_name"; And so forth. 3. Finish off with the document root: echo ""; You can include the XML header once at the top of your file: You don't need a special class or set of third-party functions to do a simple task like this. You can easily write your own, and it will parse with any XML parser. Myron onewaylife wrote: Hello Edward Just i don't now where to start.

[PHP] Re: Counting the occurences of items in an array
From the manual: array array_count_values ( array input) array_count_values() returns an array using the values of the input array as keys and their frequency in input as values. Example 1. array_count_values() example The printout of the above program will be: Array ( [1] => 2 [hello] => 2 [world] => 1 ) Dotan Cohen wrote: Has this wheel been invented, but simpler? I've an array of words that I'd like to know how many occurences of each there are. For instance: $fruits = array( "lemon", "orange", "banana", "apple", "orange", "banana", "orange"); And I'd like to create this: $fruit_count = array( "lemon" => 1, "orange" => 3, "banana" => 2, "apple" => 1); My current plan of action is to create $fruit_count, and check if $fruits[0] is listed in it. If not, then I'll add it with a value of 1. If it is already listed then I'll just increase it's number. Ditto for $fruits[1] and so on... Has someone cleverer than myself found a better way of doing this? This function will be used as a word count for text documents, and some of them have over 5000 words. So if there's a better way of doing this I'd love to know. Thanks.
