[PHP] very simple eregi / loop question
How would you loop though a file ( or web page) and get all of a certain
thing. I'm trying to strip stuff out of tables, but I have only managed to
get the first of what I'm searching for. My expression is
eregi("[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}", $search, $content);
which does the job, but how do I apply that to get all of that from the
page?
thanks

AW: [PHP] PHP vs. Java
> I agree with the other reply to your question. > (Keep in mind that it will be easier to sell Java to > the corporate guys. Some executives shy away from open > source.) Php vs. Java? Why not work together. copy from manual: " There are two possible ways to bridge PHP and Java: you can either integrate PHP into a Java Servlet environment, which is the more stable and efficient solution, or integrate Java support into PHP. The former is provided by a SAPI module that interfaces with the Servlet server, the latter by the Java extension. PHP 4 ext/java provides a simple and effective means for creating and invoking methods on Java objects from PHP. The JVM is created using JNI, and everything runs in-process. Build instructions for ext/java can be found in php4/ext/java/README. " > Good luck!!! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] What a difference a / makes!
Look at the one for yt and one for Alaska. If there is a difference in the code in 1 place that is probably why it IS working on the yt page. That's where I would start. Then I would put in an alias in my web configuration to point css /home/web/css or whatever so that you can go : echo ''; The thing you do need to check is your $continentcode especially, as that is the one that links between pages and the style sheet (unless I missed where it was assigned based on something else). Also check to make sure you have ' appropriately. I find an odd number of ' in your example and if you are not careful then you have cut off a piece of the echoed code. That will cut down some on code as well as help with the figuring out of where the issue is. I personally use print " " for things like that, no having to join the information together, the server does the work for me.

[PHP] Replacing Sablotron backend with libxslt (gnome) backend for XSLT extension
After reading /ext/xslt/README.XSLT-BACKENDS in the source, specifically Config.m4 --- The XSLT extension's "magic" really occurs in the config.m4 file. Here you must add a couple of things in order for your backend to be enabled. Its a bit too complex to describe (but easy to implement and understand). Take a look at config.m4 (which is well commented) to see what is necessary. Makefile.in --- Simply add the source files for your backend to the LTLIBRARY_SOURCES variable and you're all set with this file. ...and having various compilation/linking/performance problems with the default Sablotron backend, I am seriously interested in replacing it with the libxslt (gnome) libraries. I hacked around with the Config.m4 and Makefile.in files as noted in Sterling's comments to see if I could get PHP configure/make to accept libxslt sources/libraries (after successfully compiling/installing them) in place of Sablotronbut no success. Before spending hours/days trying to do this methodically and painfully (since I have always just configured/made PHP "by the book" and am a recent ASP/IIS convert), I was hoping that somebody, somewhere has already done this and just not posted or documented it (or at least thought about it).

[PHP] Updating PHP checkout page
Hopefully I will manage to explain my problem and you will have a solution for it :). I have a checkout page, coded in PHP (by some other coder, not available anymore). On the page I have one table containing shopping cart items and one submission form, to collect all information from the customer. When the page is loaded, the table is filled with data from the temporary data table through SQL query (collected on the previous page, shopping cart page), except for the field about the amount of the sales tax, which is not yet known because I don't know anything about the customer. So I have a shopping cart table and a blank form below that, ready to be filled with customer's information. Now, my question is: How can I calculate and fill the sales tax field in the shopping cart table, if the customer chooses his state from the drop down list in the form? I must say here that the sales tax is only applicable for residents of just one state, Vermont, because the company is based in Vermont. For instance, if the customer chooses Vermont as his state, how this can be translated into sales tax amount, added into the field in the shopping cart table and recalculated the total amount? Should the page be reloaded, with changed value of some variable for the sales tax? Should the JavaScript be used? All information entered in the form should be kept after the selection of the state and calculation is made (I assume that the page should be reloaded/refreshed), so the user shouldn't have to re-enter them again. After this recalculation, the customer hits the "Make Purchase" button and the form is submitted and the receipt for the purchase is sent. I'm not very familiar with PHP or JavaScript, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Robert -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Delayed page display
I have a script that retrieves several queued email messages from a MySQL database and sends them out, printing out progress as it goes along; for example: ema...@example.com ... sent ema...@example.com ... sent ema...@example.com ... sent Either "sent" or "failed" is displayed based on the result of the mail() call. When accessing the script however, the browser(?) waits until the script has completely processed prior to displaying the page (instead of displaying it in progress). Other scripts on the same system display in progress, and it's unclear what's different/special about this one. The page header contains several hundred characters, and line breaks are included after each "sent", so I don't think it's a browser buffering issue. The behavior is the same in both Firefox & IE. The engine is PHP 5.2 under Apache. And none of the ob_ functions are being used. I did try adding a flush(), but the behavior is still the same. So what else could cause the page to buffer completely prior to being displayed? Any insights appreciated, Robert -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] RE: Delayed page display
Additional info: php.ini has output_buffering=4096. Calling flush() or ob_implicit_flush() within the script doesn't seem to help. However setting php_value output_buffering off in .htaccess does the trick. Any ideas what else to try? Would like a script-only solution that is not php.ini/htaccess dependent.

[PHP] Issue with Quick Email validation
Hi,
I'm newbie to PHP and this list, possible not a new question so forgive me if
it's a repeat
I have a form where I want the submitter Email ID to only be from one domain
Here's the part I'm having issues with
$domain = explode( "@", $who);
if ( $domain[1] == "company.com") {
echo $domain[1];
echo("Email invalid.");
exit;
}
First Echo is just for me to check
I type in a correct Email ID, say m...@company.com
The return of this is:
company.com
Email invalid.
As far as I can see this if statement should not fall in, what am I missing?

PHP is server side, it looks like you want to send items to a client
side app (javascript?) you could do something like this:
--->Snip!
\n"; //Not a javascript guy,
but you get the point
foreach($array as $key=>$item) {
echo "\n textdata.item$key=$item";
}
?>
etc.
<---
Not sure how javascript looks (started working with it in last 2 days)
but you can change that echo statement to what it should be in
javascript

I didn't munge... I provided code for a script that sends the

image if it was requested with the appropriate key (presumably set
wherever the image was linked). If the key doesn't validate then
another
image is presented. It can say "bugger off", it can say "not found",
it
can say whatever you please. By placing the images outside the web
root
and using a script like this you are virtually guaranteed the visitor
can't just request images by making a lucky guess.
Let's say the above script was called: getUserImage.php
Then you might have the following in your HTML:
src="getUserImage.php?

Along the lines of a previous post "How to get a code review", I am curious if it is overkill to create everything in classes. For example, a movie website where there is a class for the movie datatype, class for getting/adding/deleting/updating movie's data to the database, and class for displaying the data. (Of course there are classes for general functionality like sql database connection etc.) For listing movies alone there are at least 4 different inheritance classes for chronological, alphabetic, category and keyword. Anyway this is how I coded something similar but for Flash/Actionscript site but I'm not sure about a PHP site.

This procedure is what I've used for many years, tested on a variety
of servers and connections. It works. During the demo with my
client, I was able to enter login/password info, the PHP session was
created - however the screen would not forward to the secured area.
Instead I was pretended with a blank screen (client only has an
outdated/non-updated version of IE6). If I were to type in the URL
to the secured area, it would display content properly. As a test,
I logged out, closed my browser and started again, this time
entering an incorrect login/password - again it would not forward to
the next screen properly, however this time when I typed in the full
URL, it would not display as the session hadn't been created.
I've spoken briefly with my clients IT person, however he's
unwilling to share any firewall information or really anything
regarding their security setup - which I understand as I'm not an
employee and just a contractor.
So, after long winded description - does anyone with network
security experience have any idea either a) what I would need to ask
the IT person to allow for their site only, or b) have any
suggestions for alternate password authentication that may work
given the above conditions?

Actually i think you might be experiencing the P3P privacy policy

only worked when i appended the session id to the url. I hope someone

Google keywords "php session ie6" or "ie6 cookies". i'd also recommend
a helmet, facemask and bullwhip.

[PHP] PHP mysql Apache install on FC3
Hello, I am not quite sure if this is the correct mailing list to post this question, but here I go anyway. I have a vanilla Fedora Core 3 installation, and I am trying to run a php script through a local website that has calls into a MySQL database. I can run this script at the command line using the php PHPScript.php command, and it runs perfectly. When I run it through the firefox web browser, I get an error that says: [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) in /var/www/html/index.php on line 4 I have checked the socket, it exists. Again, if I run this script just using php, it works just fine. However, when running it through Apache or httpd it does not. What am I doing incorrectly?

[PHP] Newline character problem...
I'm new to PHP but not programming in general. I have used C++ for a while and I'm familiar with the newline character as it's basically the same in PHP. Whenever I print something with a newline character in it all it produces is a space between whatever two things I'm printing. I'm running php 5.1.1 running on FreeBSD 6 with apache 2.2.0. All the latest versions installed today. This is the most basic of examples: print 'one' ; print "\n" ; print 'two' ; The output of this when accessed on my server is: one two It should be: one two I've tried using printf as well but to no avail. It just adds a space between the outputs. I've also tried using different browsers but still get the same result. What am I doing wrong? Could this a php configuration issue? Apache maybe? Thanks, Rob
[PHP] php classes and data retrieval
Hello!
I have a database and php classes and I'm not sure the best way I
should be retrieving the data.
as below, if 'other' (line 9) is stored in the database as an id of a
record in another table,
should my getData() method:
a. return the id as part of the MyObj object and whatever function
that called it is responsible for matching the id to the name?
or
b. should it look up the value from within the class?
(I read something about JOIN or stuff beyond SELECT --sorry i'm kinda
just getting into this-- could bring a database to it's knees)
Also I thought that with OOP you are supposed to keep the classes
independent of each other, but I was thinking if I need a MyObj I
would want all the data in a ready usable form and not a mix of data
and database ids.
I'm not sure what is the best practice or even if there is a correct
one, but suggestions would be appreciated!

here is my set up:
DATABASE:
myobj_table with id, name, other as columns
other_table with id, name as columns

9: $this->other = $other; // ?? ID OR VALUE ??

[PHP] rad tools, form paser/validator
Hi all, I've been working with php for a while and whenever I have the chance I give some tutorials/speeches about it to other developers, specially those with no experience with web development. They all find easy but in one point or another start asking about an IDE with a debugger, variable watch etc or RAD tools (they come from Visual Basic/Delphi enviroments). In the IDE part I know we have some paid tools (such as Zend) but can't tell anything that could count as RAD tool. So, I'd like to know if there are any RAD tools , either free or paid that you know. One thing that I am planing to develop, or enhance if I found something similar already, is a form "parser/validator". Suppose your design department comes with a real nice html-css-form and you need to validate it, send the content as email or add in a database. This tool would read the HTML and prompt you for the optional/required fields, validation options (minimum/max length) etc, send via email or add in a database.. Then would generate the php code to validate and perform the required actions. I think there is a classe (from manuel lemos) that does soemthing similar but also generate the form itself based on a definition. What do you thing about it ? The ideia is to speed up the repetitive/boring stuff leting the developer focus on special logic - usually restricted to fewer options. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus  Powerful. Affordable.

[PHP] spawing new PHP process
I'm interested in spawing a new PHP process -- if that's the correct terminology. The situation is that I've got a very slow loading page, where, for example, I'm using PHP to send, say, 1000 emails. The user clicks submit, and, although PHP is firing out the emails, it appears to the user that page is hanging. I'd like to somehow send that process to the background and let the page load straight-away. In another scripting language I've used, this function was called "spawn." Do we have something like this in PHP (I know we do!! Just can't find it.) I've looked through the docs but don't see what I'm looking for.

Re: [PHP] spawing new PHP process
Rasmus, Thanks for you reply. I agree that what you suggest is the correct solution for the mail delivery scenario I used as an example. My example was poor in that in limited the scope of what I was asking. I have other situations where I would like to somehow "spawn" a new php process so that the page loads quickly and my user doesn't get frustrated or confused. Another such situation would be when I do time consuming operations on a MySql table, such as building an index or loading data. These operations may take several minutes and I'd like to avoid having to make my user wait for the page to load. What is the correct solution for this problem? I'm a newcomer to PHP, am quite excited by it, and really appreciate your insight.

[PHP] Advice with encrypting+storing sensitive data
Hi, I need to develop an application where the protection of the data (to be stored on a database) should be very important (perhaps the principal requirement). THe goal is to have the data stored in a way that even the admin or anyone that hacks the web and/or database server could not (or easily) recover the original data. First of all I am not a security expert and the protection need not to be military-grade, just strong enough to make things harder. I would like to share a couple of ideias but mostly interestered in phpers experiences and opinions. 1) Use mcrypt The user should have to create a phrase and all sensitive data will be stored using this phrase. Since the phrase will not be hardcoded in the php scripts, even if the web is hacked it will not be recovered. For each row I would store the encrypted value and the initialization vector. In order to recover the value at the beginning of the session (when the user logs in) I could store the phrase as session variable (encrypted with mcrypt and a system phrase?) If the user decides to change the phrase a big update in all encrypted rows/fields would be necessary. 2) Use PGP Basically the same ideia but differnt encryption tool/scheme. Not sure how to implement or if there is any gain. Well any tips/sugestions/opinions are welcome. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Re: [PHP] Advice with encrypting+storing sensitive data
Thanks Bahwi, I agree with you regarding the client-side aspect. But since we are talking about a regular web-based application in php I think I will have to deal with that. The other security concerns are already addressed, such as the use of SLL to encrypt the traffic and possibly the use of an encoder do hide the source code.

Re: [PHP] Dumb session cookie question?
IE traditionally puts cookies in a folder named Cookies. Do a search for 'cookies' -- see what you come up with. on 08/12/02 10:17 PM, Douglas Douglas ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Hi all. I'm sorry about the dumb question, but I've just expend two hours trying to find the damn cookie and I couldn't :( I've read that when you use sessions and configure the php.ini with session.use_cookies = 1, your sessions will always send cookies to the client (if the client accept the cookies)... Is that right? I ask because I'm reading my first tutorial about sessions and it worked fine... but I can't find where IE6 (Windows XP, Apache 1.3.27) stores those cookies I used... I want to see the cookie's contents... So I was wondering if PHP really sends the cookies, but I also printed the $_SESSION and $_COOKIE arrays and it displayed the correct information... in $_COOKIE displayed PHPSESSID == , so I think there is some cookie somewhere, my question is where is it?

Subject: [PHP] mail() not working on Win2k
I'm running under Win2k, new install of PHP(last week), I have been trying
to test the mail() function, but it doesn't seem to work. I host my own
mail server on the same machine and I know it works, has been for months,
all other mail come/goes just fine. I don't have the default SMTP server
for IIS installed since I have my own SMTP/POP3 mail server on this same
server.
I have tried it with the following:
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "test message", "this is a test");
I have SMTP authentication turned off on my mail server for this testing.
It never arrives, I never get an error.
I can telnet to port 25, all works fine.
phpinfo.php reports that everything looks good, only thing i saw was that
the extension directory shows c:\php4 instead of c:\php.
I don't have any extra .dll's or anything turned on since it has built-in
support for MySQL.
Can someone PLEASE help.

Re: [PHP] How to detect a PHP script time-out?
If you are willing to do a rewrite, then have your main script start a fork, or child process. The child process would run your script while the parent would do nothing else but wait for the child. if the child times out the parent will know and you can then print out a error message. See the following on how to implement forks (process controls).

[PHP] timing out a for loop, fopen
Dear PHP Gurus:
I'm looking for a way to timeout an fopen function. I'm doing some link checking
inside of a for loop and some links "hang" rather than return a definitive "can't
connect" or "can connect." (Pardon the highly technical jargon there...)
In cases where my link hangs, I'd like to simply display a message (i.e., "hanging")
and advance to the next loop.
I have search the docs/forumns far and wide and can't find anything definitive. As
far as I can tell socket_set_timeout won't quite do what I want it to.
Any ideas? Here's the important part of my code:
for ()
{
echo "Checking: $link : \n"; flush();
$fp = @fopen($link, "r");
if (!$fp) { echo "The link is
dead!"; }
else { fclose($fp); echo "The link is
working!"; }
echo "";
echo "";
}
Thanks in advance!

Looking for a better solution to forward mail from an IMAP account via PHP to another account.

Once the message is rebuilt I change the "To:" and then send it on. The problem is that messages are rebuilt successfully about 95% of the time. Can anyone suggest a better way to do this? Can I not just login to the account get the entire message, change the "To:" and send it on it's way leaving the message structure in tact? If so does anyone know of any pre-existing classes to take a message as input, change the "TO:" and use the result of this to send it out?

[PHP] A question of time...
Hi all, I recently had a freelancing experience that has left me somewhat sour and questioning myself. Unfortunately I don't feel I can fairly evaluate myself and so I owuld like to put the question to my peers who populate the PHP forum as to whether I have performed competently. Last week I took upon myself the task of fixing a clients shopping cart system by way of adding session support and proper user registration validation. To give you some idea of the parameters of the job... - VNC development connection - live server with no error output - no session support whatsoever - cart had no input validation, except basic javascript - user registration permitted clobbering of other users and had no validation either - PHP code was ad-hoc sprinkled through the pages - comments were almost non-existent The first day I decided it would be best to mirror the server so that development time would be minimized (VNC is terrible for devlopment). This was done without charge to the client despite it's time saving effect. The second day I spent 13 hours familiarizing myself with their code and pages, and on this day I also implemented a session management library for easily accessing and setting session data (this included hooks for permanent cookie data storage). I also fixed the user registration process and add security validation to ensure user information could not accidentally (or deliberately via form hacking) be accessed by someone other than the registrant. Previously re-registration of an existing email address regardless of password would clobber existing customer. At this time I also fixed the cart and ensured prepopulation of forms for updating registration information. The third day I first wasted an hour making my changes work on their server because they decided to rename all the files I had changed thus breaking all of the include() paths. After that I spent another 3 hours adding support for returning to previous page before entering any of the cart checkout or customer registration pages. At this time a response page was also added to thank the customer for their purchase. Of course all of this was tested to be functional and where necessary broken pre-existing code was replaced or fixed to provide the correct functionality. On the fourth day I spent 3 hours adding support for input validation feedback to the registration validation so that customer's would know exactly why they could not continue. I also added support for a password reminder to inform the user of their password when forgotten. This included adding the page, adding the form, validating that the user id existed and outputting appropriate feedback if the user did not exist - and of course testing. All in all I spent 20 hours total for the client at a rate of $40 USD/hr which I believe is on the low end of freelance. I myself have 3 years experience devloping PHP web applications. So the question I ask is whther this time frame is reasonable, or am I just a slow crappy programmer that is ripping these people off? They seem to think I should have had this done in just a few hours, but my experience thus far indicates to me that they got just service. Additionally it seems before I took the job, they had went through several other PHP developers would said they couldn't do it (and I don't really blame them considering the VNC connection and lack of comments or error feedback). If it turns out that I am incompetent, then I will happily send them a bill for zero hours, otherwise I would like to take comfort that I am not ripping them off.

Thanks, I did estimate 20 to 30 hours for them after I had set up the mirror server and before the actual work began. At the same time I asked if they wanted me to stop to which they replied that I should continue.

[PHP] PHP newbie ... function with several returns ?
Hi ... PHP newbie here. I'm migrating from ASP/vbScript. I'd like to set up a subroutine that will change several variables at once. In VB, I can say: Private Sub Change_Variables ($variable1, $variable2) $variable1 = "Something different from it's original value" $variable2 = "I'm changed also!!" End Sub // in my code I can call it like this: $My_variable1 = "This is the original value of variable1" $My_variable2 = "This is the original value of variable2" Call Change_Variables ($My_variable1, $My_variable2) // after calling this subroutine the variables are changed: print $My_variable1 // yeilds: "Something different from it's original value" print $My_variable2 // yields: "I'm changed also!!" I try to convert this to PHP, and I'm getting stuck. I'm sure there's a kind of function that can do this. Any ideas?

Re: [PHP] Do query strings get spidered by Google?
I don't think Google follows URLS to every variation based on a query string.
I know to have some of my pages indexed I had to rewrite the URL so the query
string looked like a directory path.

[PHP] PHP 4.3.0/4.3.2 - Strange problem with exec / move_uploaded_file
Hi,
I am faciing a strange problem. I have some php
script to receive images (via file upload).
The script is failling to work because it can't
move/copy the file.
I've added a sleep(x) in order to make the temporary
file stick around.
20 -rw---1 apache apache 19402 Jul 4
10:49 /tmp/phpFj6Irk
I've added apache to an upload group
upload:x:1098:apache
And changed the owner of the directory.
ls -sla /home/httpd/html/foo.com/img/news/
total 24
4 drwxrwxr-x6 webmaste upload 4096 Jul 4
10:11 .
4 drwxrwxr-x5 webmaste webmaste 4096 Jun 10
15:55 ..
4 drwxrwxr-x2 webmaste upload 4096 Jun 4
09:41 1
4 drwxrwxr-x2 webmaste upload 4096 Jul 4
10:48 10
4 drwxrwxr-x2 webmaste upload 4096 Jul 4
09:54 2
And the both commands below fail.
move_uploaded_file($tmpfile,$destination)
exec("/bin/cp $tmpfile $destination",$array)
The var_dump in array shows
array(0) { }
The $destination var has (checked with echo)
/home/httpd/html/foo.com/img/news/10/xxx.jpg
Any ideias ?

Undoubtedly the above will work as we both know, the output will be "123"; however, if you look at the original code in question, there is no "\n" tailing the output written to the counter file and thus the increment works fine (unless of course when he created the file to begin he had a newline - something I did not do in my test :) Cheers, Rob. -- .-. | Worlds of Carnage - http://www.wocmud.org | :-: | Come visit a world of myth and legend where | | fantastical creatures come to life and the | | stuff of nightmares grasp for your soul.| `-' -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] tcp sockets
I have a java server running to handle xml requests and send back a
response to the sender.
It runs on one port for tcp and another for udp.
I got the udp version working fine, but I am having problems with the
tcp version.
Watching the debug output on the java server, I can see that it is
receiving the request from the php client and sending the response.
However, the php client hangs up when trying to read the response.
I'm guessing the problem is in the socket read function because when
I comment that part out it executes fine.
Also I am not using a while loop for the reading because I know the
response is only one line and < 1024 bytes.
Code snippet posted below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
$xml = "blah blah
blah";
$port = 1234;
$address = gethostbyname( "www.mysite.com" );
$socket = socket_create( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, getprotobyname( "tcp"
) );
if( $socket == FASLE ) {
//error out...
}
$result = socket_connect( $socket, $address, $port );
if ( $result == FALSE ) {
//error out...
}
if( socket_write( $socket, $xml, strlen ($xml) ) == FALSE ) {
//error out...
}
$response = socket_read( $socket, 1024, PHP_NORMAL_READ );
socket_close($socket);
print "$response";
//now parse the response
$p = xml_parser_create();
xml_parser_set_option( $p, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0 );
xml_parser_set_option( $p, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1 );
xml_parse_into_struct( $p, $response, $vals, $index);
xml_parser_free( $p );
//this will show you whats in the array
print "xml response array: ";
print_r( $vals );

Re: [PHP] Too much of $GLOBALS[] a problem??
Rather than having the following scenario:

The following would be much cleaner and portable while still allowing
the ease of use of $GLOBALS based configuration:
$GLOBALS['myProjectName']['foo'] = 'foo';
$GLOBALS['myProjectName']['fee'] = 'fee';

Thus everytime you invoke a method on the object it works with it's own set of data. In all honesty you can do this with functions also, but then you would have something like the following: $dbId = db_connect(); $data = db_do_this( $dbId ); $moreData = db_do_that( $dbId, $data ) As you can see this quickly can become cumbersome becaus eof the lack of encapsulation. However, the OOP paradigm goes even further. Lets imagine you now want log all use of your functions (methods :). To do this in OOP you just extend the class and override the methods while still allowing invocation of the inheritted methods. Thus your usage of your new object code would look something like follows: $db = new custom_db_sql; $db->connect(); $db->do_this(); $db->do_that(); Whereas the function code would resemble the following: $dbId = custom_db_connect(); $data = custom_db_do_this( $dbId ); $moreData = custom_db_do_that( $dbId, $data ) As you can see updating the function based code required more work. It wasn't as modular since it couldn't take advantage of inheritance. This is a trivial example btw, it's not perfect since there are books and books written on this topic and I'm obviously glossing over a lot of details. Once you get into design patterns you'll also see other advantages of using objects versus functions. I hope this helps a teeny weeny bit.

Re: [PHP] controlling winamp with COM
Depending on exactly how you intend to use this technology there are several ways to go about it. One is to create a PHP C extension that you compile into the PHP engine itself -- this I imagine can hook into the API to control the open application. Then you can choose to use these new extension functions in either a shell script to control the winamp program from the current computer (or shell-script on a remote computer that you SSH or telnet into), or you can create a PHP-based Web front end to control the winamp application. The other alternative, is to just have the PHP script call existing programs than can access the API on the OS via the backtick or system(), etc... functions (this solution was mentioned below :). It might even be possible that Winamp itself provides hooks to a running instance of itself via command line parameters (one can hope) which would simplify the task greatly. Cheers, Rob.

Can ^^^ Off Topic but I must protest... You forgot Linux in your list -- a gross oversight I'm sure!

PHP handles it fine -- I've been using it in my code for years now without a single hiccup. With thousands (millions?) of others using it, the assertion that PHP cannot handle "it" seems unequivocally incorrect. That said it is more likely than not, that you yourself are unable to handle "it". Furthermore, your style and mannerisms remind me of a troll.

[PHP] php4 vs php5
hi, i`m working on presentation of php5 features and i would like to add some comparison between php4 and php5. new coding features are of course available in doc on php.net, but i`m wondering where can i find benchmarks that show speed differences between the two. if there are none i would like to hear from core developers about which types (loops, math operations, objects code) of code will show the differences so i could write my own benchmark. rash -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
