[PHP] RSS and your opinion needed.
Hi, Some time back I came on the list and asked your advise for a class that gets RSS feeds from diff sites, I got quite a few good sites and a particular class that was really good. Unfortunatly I lost it in a webhost change but here is what it did: It got the feed and cached it for a day (or two -> not too sure) so that speed and performance was improved instead of fetching it every time, it also allowed me to customize the links out (eg: open in new window) Any idea which class that is and where can I download it? if not that one, can you recommend one that is good? (and free) Lastly, I have never worked with RSS feeds before, can you tell me how many "links" are "ok" per page? E.g: I have a page with content and on the right the feeds links will display... I was thinking of putting 9 links per page(3 each from 3 diff sites)...or is that too much? Thanks, Mag __ Do you Yahoo!?

Good solution, but the problem is once the program is
completed it goes out of my hands and most prolly the
client wont know the exact paths, the templates folder
would *always* be one below...but the path before the
/templates will change.
Anyway, heres what I have come up with, comments are
welcome:
$pieces = explode("/", $_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"]);
$a=count($pieces);
$f="";
for($i=1; $i < $a-2; $i++)
{$f=$f.$pieces[$i]."/";}
$include_path= "/".$f;

Re: [PHP] Include path (SOLVED)
Hey everyone,
**
Have you tried
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/';
**
Matt,
DAMN! THATS what I was looking for.
No, didnt try that, took the long route home instead,
but atleast brushed up on php's "explode" function.
**
$baseDir = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];
$templatesDir = $baseDir . "/templates/";
include($templatesDir . "header.php");
include($templatesDir . "body.php");
include($templatesDir . "footer.php");
**
Ed, perfect.
**
Have you tried;
Include "../templates/header.php";
**
Warren, yep, tried that and also
"../../templates/header.php"; and more, it was going
to the root ("/home/sites/" etc)
Thanks, everyone.

[PHP] class help (PLEASE)
Hi,
After searching the archives and google I found a
class that does bb code conversions, although I know
how to use classes (thanks to the docs the writers
write) I dont really understand them too well.
The class is REALLY good and covers all my needs
(which is to display php code in colors) but
unfortunatly if there is no carrage return in the text
it screws up my entire table...
eg:
I have a , after calling this class
if I try to display this:
$result = mysql_query(insert into the_articles
(author, headline, content10, content1, content2,
content3, content4, content5, content6, content7,
content8, content9, date, confirm, pages, link10,
link1, link2, link3, link4, link5, link6, link7,
link8, link9, typeNews) values .
it expands my table to more than 150% and screws up my
whole page.
If somebody could please just edit the classfile so it
"breaks" long text strings to the next line and does
not screw up my page layout I will be MOST grateful
and sing your praises, plus name my first child after
you (heck, if you're a woman will name my next
girlfriend after you!) :-)
The classfile is below (tried writing to the author
but I dont think he speaks english coz his website's
in Italian I think: http://www.3site.it/)
*** Class file ***
= 4.1
* Page Example:
http://www.3site.it/varie/codeLighter/index.php
*
-
* LAST FIXED: multiple URL inline, increase speed
convertion, adjusted code, color and list tags,
unclosed /* comment.
* Totally rewrote and fixed wrap_convert() function
with url/img/mail preservation.
* LAST ADDS:[AS] tag with different highlight
FlashMX like
* you can add one or more personal tags
* LAST CHANGES: IMG now use
[IMG="{url}"]{comment}[/IMG] as quote and url.
* Now [PHP] & [AS] use monospace font on.
* Now are right both [URL="{URL}"] , [URL={URL}]
*
*
-
* WHAT IS THIS:
* HTML 4.01 W3C Strict Standard VAlidated tags
emulator with:
* personalizable style sheet
* great [tag] engine
* JavaScript crossbrowser for checks and helps
* automatic form / textarea / buttons generation
*
*
-
* HOW TO USE:
* $codeLighter = new codeLighter();
* echo $codeLighter->convert($text_var);
* WARNING: the better way to use this script is give
an htmlentities($text_var);
* so if you haven't converted $text_var you need to do
this.
* Example:
* echo $codeLighter->convert( htmlentities($text_var)
);
*
*
-
* WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THIS:
* Accepted tags: B, U, I, CODE, PHP, AS, QUOTE, LIST,
MAIL, URL, IMG, FONT, SIZE, COLOR, CENTER, RIGHT
* B => [b]{TEXT}[/b]
* U => [u]{TEXT}[/u]
* I => [i]{TEXT}[/i]
* CENTER => [center]{center text}[/center]
* RIGHT => [right]{right text}[/right]
* CODE => [code]{code text}[/code]
* PHP => [php]{php text}[/php]
* ACTIONSCRIPT => [as]{action script text}[/as]
* QUOTE => [quote]{quoted text}[/quote] |
[quote="posted from"]{quoted text}[/quote]
* LIST => [list][*]{TEXT}[/list] |
[list=1][*]{TEXT}[/list]
* type: NULL => default, unordered list
* 1 => numeric ordered list
* [ for alphabetic list write to W3.org ... they
wrote "Safe for kids" with DL sintax ... ]
*
* Example: "[list]
* [*]something
* [*]something else
* [/list]"
* Example: "[list=1]
* [*]something
* [*]something else
* [/list]"
* MAIL => {valid email addres} | [mail]{valid email
addres}[/mail] | [mail={valid email
addres}]{TEXT}[/mail]
* Example: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]/mail]"
* Example: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] email[/mail]"
* URL => {valid url addres} | [url]{valid url
addres}[/url] | [url="{valid url addres}"]{TEXT}[/url]
| [url={valid url addres}]{TEXT}[/url]

Hey Jason,
No offense at all taken, am happy you read part of my
help-email.
Problem is, like I said, I dont have a clue about the
workings of a class and all the pointing like this
$this-> blah
gets me totally confused so I really dont know which
part IS the problem part.
Anybody knowing of a good class tutorial...would be
appreciated.
I tried to figure it out by myself looking at the
code, but I guess I have to learn about classes (have
not come to that yet) before I know where the problem
is, but having a look for the newline part I think
this is the problem part:
$preserve = md5(" \n\r");
$elaborate = preg_replace("/( )([\\n\\r]+){1}(
)/", $preserve, $elaborate);
$elaborate = preg_replace("/( )([\\n\\r^ ]+){1}/",
$preserve, $elaborate);
$elaborate .= "*/";
I know the class looks massive but if you copy and
paste it into a editor that colors PHP code (I use
editplus), you will see that a s***load of it is
comments on how to use the class and layouts,css,
initialization etc (even I could understand that so
I'm guessing it has to pretty simple), then comes the
preg_replace and eregi which confuses the crap out of
me.

[PHP] Using htaccess to show diff dir (0T)
Hi,
instead of showing my index.php page located at /
I want to show my index.html page located at /cached/
but I dont want to use javascript as the clients JS
might be off...and I dont want to get blacklisted by
the search engines for redirecting...
I did read somewhere that you can redirect via
a .htaccess and NOT get blacklisted by giving out
certain status codes ("document moved permantly"...I
think) I cant find that article searching google, but
since its so useful I'm pretty sure someone else is
using that method, mind helping me out?
Thanks,

[PHP] str_replace: use multiple or array?
Hi,
I need to use a couple of str_replace's in one of my
programs and would like to know which is more resource
friendly:
1) having multiple str_replace one after another
eg:
$text = str_replace("orange", "apple", "$text");
$text = str_replace("black", "white", "$text");
$text = str_replace("girl", "guy", "$text");
$text = str_replace("woman", "man", "$text");
$text = str_replace("plant", "tree", "$text");
2) by using an array
eg:
$bad = array("orange", "black", "girl", "woman",
"plant");
$good = array("apple", "white", "guy", "man", "tree");
$text = str_replace($bad, $good, $text);
Also, off topic,
Anybody else getting a non delivery message from:

[PHP] Confused...need some programming logic
Hi,
I have 13 folders with a few thousand images each, now
the client wants me to export the "gallerys" to
another server that does not run phpso he wants
plain .htm files.
Below is how far I have come to "porting" this... the
idea being: generate .html files then simply copy the
images folders to the clients other server and
dump the html files there and he has a gallery ready
to go..this is how i thought of it:
1: read number of images from a directory (done)
2: After reading, divide the number by 100 (eg: 1348
images equals 14 pages...last page only 48 pics)
(done)
3: Dynamically create the .html files via a "fopen"
(done)
4: put 100 tags to call 100 images per page
(confused here)
The images are numbered sequentially but dont start
from 0 or 1, they start from something like 00047.jpg
or 0024.jpg etc
I think I will need a foreach (and tried a
foreach...but didnt work) but am confused...ANY help
appreciated.
** Start code
";}
*/
for($i=0; $i<$pages;$i++)
{
if($i==0){$j="";}else{$j=$i;}
$index="index".$j;
if(!$handle = fopen($index.".html", "w"))
{echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";exit;}
if(fwrite($handle, $content) === FALSE)
{echo "Cannot write to file $filename)";exit;}
fclose($handle);
}
echo "The end";
?>
** End code
The above code is working so far as to:
1.read from the dir
2.create the required number of pages while making
sure the first page is index.html
3. Writing some content in..in this case just: "Mag"
Thanks,
Mag

Hi, Thanks for replying. I think you misunderstood my problem, your code is just printing the images onto the screen...I need to take 100 tags and write it to each of the .html pages... eg: if there 112 images in the folder, it should create 2 html files (index.htm and index1.htm - this is already done - THEN insert 100 img tags into the first file (index.htm) and balance 12 img tags into the second file) Ideas?

[PHP] Write text on imge...AND save it to disk..
Hi,
Have very little of idea of the GD functions (and dont
ahve imagemagik) so am having problems
1. I need to read all the images from a dir and write
something on it at the bottom right side of the
picture
2.save this image in a diff folder keeping the
originals as is.
I have worked out the logic to fetch the imgs from the
folder into an array but the rest is beyond me...
I HAVE gotten a good class that does a lot but...it
does not save the image, it outputs it to the browser
(class below) can anybody help me save the file to a
folder on my disk please?
I have gone to http://se.php.net/image,
searched the archives,
http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Tips_and_Tutorials/Image_Manipulation/
and google...but am as confused as ever...maybe
because its 5am ;-) and been working whole day.

[PHP] sorting an array..dont know numeric or alpha-numeric
Hi,
I have a function that reads jpg files (thumbnails)
from a directory and puts all the files names into an
array...I want to sort that array by the filename,
problem is, I dont know if filenames will be pure
numeric (eg 001.jpg,002.jpg) or alpha-numeric
(asdf001,asdf002)
It HAS to be sequential from small to big (eg: 0-10)
as I am making static html pages from them further
down the program.
Looking in the manual I have tried sort() without any
luck, then looking further I found natcasesort() which
would be perfect for my needs right now, but cant get
it to work :-(
Below is the function (its not big)
*** Start function
function directory($dir,$filters){
$handle=opendir($dir);
$files=array();
if ($filters == "all"){while(($file =
readdir($handle))!==false){$files[] = $file;}}
if ($filters != "all"){
$filters=explode(",",$filters);
while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false) {
for ($f=0;$fhttp://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

Hi Curt, Damn, looks like I (unintentionally) gave you guys quite a challenge! You're the first one to reply and looks like you sure worked on it! > For starters, if your going to provide some code, > make sure its > readable by others.. trying to figure out what it is > doing is > nearly impossible the way it is written.. Sorry about that, I didnt write the code, I "snipped" it off from phpbuilder (i think, might have been another php help site) and since it was working I didnt touch or do anything. Will go through the modifications and advise you gave me and will write back if.. any problems.

[PHP] regex help and file question
Hi, I am just starting out with regex (and classes) so am not sure how to do this... I am seeing if a HTML file exists, if yes, I am using file_get_contents to get the entire HTML file into a string. In the HTML file I already have this: whatever you want comes here How do I use a regex to span these multiple lines and simply cut everything (including the start..end part)from to Second question: I am using file_get_contents, is it better to use this than file() or fread() ?

[PHP] Flush()....go to bottom of page (might be 0T)
Hi,
I am using flush() and ob_flush() in one of my scripts
and its working great.., just one problem, as it keeps
outputting x on the screen the page just stays on
top...is there anyway (I am not sure via php...but
maybe JavaScript? ) to make the browser "follow" the
output below
eg:
keep the scroll below right next to the text.
This is what i am using:
for($i=0; $i<1000;$i++)
{
echo "something";
echo str_repeat(" ", 256); flush(); ob_flush();
sleep(1);
}
Thanks,
Mag

[PHP] urlencode - urldecode
Hi,
I am using a header("location:") to send a
rawurlencod'ed string to another script...then I tried
decode it and use those values...but its not
working...
snippets of my code:
// sending file:
$one=rawurlencode("dir_name=$dir_name&imgs_dir=$imgs_dir&thumb_pre=$thumb_pre&tn_width=$tn_width&tn_height=$tn_height&write_text=$write_text&colors=$colors&x_pos=$x_pos&y_pos=$y_pos&link1=$link1&link2=$link2&link3=$link3&img_src1=$img_src1&img_src2=$img_src2");
header("location: process.php?a=".$one);
Am totally confused as to how to use urldecode to get
back my values to do other operations in my script..
I tried the example from php.net: (example 1)
http://se2.php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php
but am unable to adapt it to give me my
variables/values.
The reason I am using rawurlencode is because $link1
and $link2 will contain html tags...
Thanks for your time.

[PHP] Zend Enc and 0T Q
Hi all, Our company has decided to encrypt the php programs that we sell, I have to choose which encryption package to buy. After a lot of seaching (on this list(archives), google, forums etc) I saw a quite a few products like ioncube, zend, codesecure, blender, mmCache encryptor etc etc unfortunatly blender is not yet ready for stable production use and althought I was leaning towards mmcache as its free, not every host will be too happy to install mmCache so I have decided to go with Zend encryptor (not too bad a price for the "small business" companies - companies that make less than $250k a year - which is what we currently fall under) I just wanted your comments on this, good idea? bad? any of you guys tried it? any problems with hosts not willing to install the "optimiser" to run encrypted scripts? stable? etc I have googled for these questions and it seems very favourable, but I figure it would be wise to ask you guys as you use php everyday/nearly everyday and can give me better feedback as the "average joe" (a lot of the sites recommending Zend Enc are linking to zend with a little affiliate tag...so i'm guessing some of them are biased). Off topic Q, My ISP has blocked me sending mail from my local machine (they have blocked port 25) any program (for windows (2000 pro)) that can send mail on another port? I used to use Merak mail server.

Re: [PHP] Zend Enc and 0T Q
Hi, Thanks for replying. > And the loss is entirely theirs. MMache really can > take a load of your > webserver. True, but its easier to tell a webhosting company to install a Zend product as they are the maker of PHP blah blah than to tell them to install an "untrusted" 3rd party app like mmCache. The above applies only to webhosts who are mostly half wits, my present webhost (hub.org) are very nice guys and know their business. (ps. I dont get anything from hub for the plug above) > Correct me if I am wrong, but according to my > understanding when an > optimizer is installed it does not matter which > encoder was used to > encode the scripts.

RE: [PHP] Round
I believe there is some confusion on what ABS actually does. Ignoring all the rounding that you are trying to do ABS is a very simple function. ABS definition: Returns the absolute value of number. What that means is. Abs(1) = 1 Abs(2) = 2 Abs(3) = 3 Abs(0) = 0 Abs(-1) = 1 Abs(-2) = 2 Abs(-3) = 3 Simply put, returns the positive value of the number given. Thus if you put it on a negative number it will always return positive. This most likely doesn't help what your trying to do, but I wanted to clarify this as you keep stating you are expecting a -1 when you use the ABS function. Unless someone has some trick that I don't know about, ABS will NEVER return a negative number. -Original Message- From: Jim Lucas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 1:43 PM To: Daniel Brown Cc: Zoltán Németh; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Round Daniel Brown wrote: > On 8/29/07, Zoltán Németh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>> Think this through before you respond... >>> >>> Try this >>> >>> >> var_dump( round(-0.26) ); >>> var_dump( abs( round(-0.26) ) ); >>> var_dump( round(-1.26) ); >>> var_dump( abs( round(-1.26) ) ); >>> ?> >>> >>> does this give you the desired results? >>> >>> What if I expected -1 for the last answer? > > It didn't take much thinking this time if you were expecting > -1 for the last answer, you'd be wrong. ;-P > > The very nature of abs() is to return an absolute number, which is > never a negative. > Exactly my point, abs() is not the answer if he had any negative number that did not round to zero, say it would round to -2, then having the abs() in the calculations would return 2 instead of -2, which would be wrong. From what I read from the OP, I don't think this is what he was looking for. the op was asking why he got -0 instead of 0. not for a solution to fix it. ok, better example. But, from what the OP says, he would get -0 instead of 0 for the 4th entry. Am I correct with this? if so, you could try casting it as an int like so var_dump( (int)round(-0.26) ); That might fix the problem -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
