Re: [PHP] Problems compiling PHP 5.0.0b1

[Yann Larrivee]

Humm from what i remember ( i saw a snap that did not work with dom
about last week).

In the help there was a not about dom5 i compiled with dom5 and it
worked for me.

But now in the latest snap dom5 option is gone. But compiling php with
dom support works well.

So try to compile --with-dom5 (if the option is there)

[PHP] PHP application using gettext

[Yann Larrivee]

Hi ,  i have been looking for php web application that uses the Gettext
extension to facilitate the translation.

However i did not really find any.

Anybody as good example of application that uses it and an explanation
why people don't use it other then the fact that you need the extension
to be installed on the server in order for people to use your
application .

Thanks

[PHP] php5 methode + num parameters

[Yann Larrivee]

Hi i have the fallowing code (simplified)

class FormElement {
private $element_id = null;
private $element_name = null;
private $element_type = null;
private $element_style = null;
private $element_string = null;


public function FormElement($properties)
{
$this->SetStyle($properties["default_style"],$properties["error_style"]);
}

private function SetStyle($element_style)
{
$this->element_style = $element_style;
}

}



Avisouly i pass it 2 parameters  and it is expecting only 1.
Usually PHP Bugs when this kind of thing happen right ? (php 4 anyways)
But not in PHP5 it seems.

Anybody else has experienced this problem ?

[PHP] __get, __set, __clone

[Yann Larrivee]

Hi, in the past 2 days i have been looking into php5 and it's new
features.

I am not a psecialiste of OOP (only been OOPing for 2 month)

For a moment i tought that __set would allow me not to have to define a
methode __set that would set a value to a member variable.

It seems like we have to define the class __set and __get.

for example i tought i would be able to do.

class a{
function __construct(){
$this->__set("var_name1","value1");
$this->__set("var_name2","value2");
}
}

I read these 2 tutorial
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/argerich20030411.php3?page=5 (the
explanation seems really bad to me and does not show any usefull way to
use these functions)

http://talks.php.net/show/php5intro/25
This one well i comes back to the same thing as if i code it my self.

So my big question is why , when , how do we use these features
(__get,__set) 
For a moment i tought i would save me time, but if i have to redefine
them what is the point ?

I guess i am somewhat confuse on this issue, any explanation would be
appreciated. 

Thanks

[PHP] Re: __get, __set, __clone

[Yann Larrivee]

Hi Greg, thanks for the example. I think i now understand a bit more.

I just need a confirmation on this

$table->FirstName = 'Greg';
$table->LastName = 'Beaver';

This will actually call __set and it will create a member variable named
FristName with the value Greg.

And if you call $table->FirstName and it is not set it will return false
right ?

Honestly i find this way of coding no so clean.
Maybe it is because i am used to do all my sets by hand

$this->SetFirstName($first_name){
$this->first_name= $first_name;
}

$this->GetFirstName(){
if(!isset($this->first_name)){
return false;
}else{
return $this->first_name;
}
}

SO what are the advantages to use __get, __set.

Aviously the way i do it, i do it i have to re have to redoit for all my
variables.
But also i was told to never access a variable directly so i have the
feeling like i am doing a capital sin :D

[PHP] preg, patern quantifier limit

[Yann Larrivee]

Hi, i did a standard preg [A-Za-z0-9]{1,65536}

What i am simply trying to do is to validate the a form that will insert
into my TEXT database field. So i just want to prevent a larger insert
then expected.


PHP trows me this error "preg_match(): Compilation failed: number too
big in {} quantifier at offset 19 ..."


So it appears that quantifiers are limited. Anybody knows what that
limit is ?


Thanks

Re: [PHP] PHP getting values from XML

[Yann Larrivee]

Hi there are a couple projects done in php to go around these problemes
however it will cost you on performance.

Here are a couple projects you might want to look into (I never used
them, but since the book XML and PHP talk about them i guess they are
good proejcts)

eZXML (an alternative to PHP/Dom) 
PHP.XPATH http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxpath/
PHP XML RPC http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxmlrpc/
NuSOAP http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap/index.php (befor it was named
SOAPx4)

There must be other projects also but i dont know them.

[PHP] Evaluating defines

[Yann Larrivee]

Hi, i have a template system where the user can define some multilangual
defines, identified by {Label[My_define_name]} in the template.

Its one of the way i figured to go around the probleme of multilangual
websites.

Ok the function below parse the template and gets all the
{Lang[My_deifne]} and the My_define.

My probleme is that i need to return the value of my define and not its
name. My eval doesnt seem to work.

Any body as a sugestion , or a better way to do this without passing by
eval . 

Thanks

--
function ParseLabel(){
   
preg_match_all("/\{(Label)*\[([-A-Za-z_]*)]\}/",$this->GetTemplateString(),$out);

$j = count($out[2]);
for($i=0;$i<$j;$i++){
if(!defined($out[2][$i])){

$error_message = str_replace("{tag}", $out[0][$i],
NoMatchingLangLiteral);
   
$this->_err->ErrorHandler(NoMatchingLangLiteralErrorNumber,$error_message,__FILE__,__LINE__);
}else{
$to_replace[] = $out[0][$i];
->
$replace_by[] = eval("echo \$out[2][$i];");
<
}
}
$this->ReplaceTag($to_replace,$replace_by);
}

Re: [PHP] Evaluating defines

[Yann Larrivee]

I found the fonction constant that return the value of a constant if you
passe the name of the constant in parameter.

so it would now be

-
$replace_by[] = constant$out[2][$i]);
-

It should also be faster then eval

Thanks for the help

It all depends what you want to do and what type of user you are.
Graphist will like DW because it provids an easy way to integrate php in

Programmers will like Zend the debuger, and additional functionalities
that it can offer.

Honestly i use Vi for performance issue,its price and it those not messup my html code

[PHP] SQL injection

[Yann Larrivee]

Hi i read many thing on sql injection but i just cant sumarize all the
information.

Most site (PHPadvisory.com, phpsecure.info, other found on google) dont
talk to mutch on how to prevent SQL injection.

At some place, they mentionned having a badword list, but really in a
product description we can have about anyword (select, insert, update,
...) SO the badword liste is not really the solution i believe.


I did the fallowing single quoted all the queries, parameters (even if
numerical), did a mysql_real_eascape_string on all parameters befor they
are passed to mysql.

Also my Queries are always fairly long and no queries and by a parameter
(at least i try not too)

Do you guys have any other tips ?

Thanks

Hi,

I know there is an extension to render mathml with php4.
You can find more information about it here.

Re: [PHP] Re: oop too slow

[Yann Larrivee]

You could simply recall the constructor if the object exist.

This way you do not create the objects for every data entry you have and
aviously it will use less ressources.

Also like someone else told you, Get a Debuger! It will point out the
slow part of your code.

For example i had 30 000 lines of code in php5 oo (templating system +
e-com) to generate a page it would take 0.3 seconds.
I concider this as not too bad.

I personally dont beleive in this. It is juste another way to make money
;) Every body in the indeustry should know that.

PHP.net has nothing to do with it, execpt that some people from the
php.net team help put it together.

Hostely, what kind of market value does the certification has? Go get
sun certified at least it has some sort of history and value.

Re: [PHP] PHP Oficial Certification

Sorry another reply, there use to be the .geek php certification that
was annonced on php.net then was removed right off like 2 days after)

Was it cause of some pressure of a companie and group of people ? You
tell me.

It was not really professional according to me, but you cant kill the
competition like this , well at least not in opensource world.

What is a PHP certification anyway.

TO see if you know the modules/functions ? Or see if you know how to
programme well.

If you wanna show if you can programme well, sun would do the job.

Re: [PHP] PHP Oficial Certification

[Yann Larrivee]

Exactly it think that experience is probably the only valuable thing
there is.

For shure a beginner will benefit from this has it is problably give him
a salary increase compared to the guy that is not certified (we all know
that php developper are under paid) So this part is good.
It will also eliminate some people out of the market for shure at some
point. 


Yep emplyers will use it to evaluate people, but like i said i you want
to get good exprience just work on a open source software if you don't
have any work experience. 

Now has far has sun certification how it will help you get a php job.
Well depends what kind of job you are looking for. A job where you only
do php 24/7 or you do other stuff on the side (Java, C++, PHP, ...)

If so then beeing certified PHP just assure that you know PHP and some
principles.
If you thake the sun certification it is been there for a far longer
time ans since your job requires both in this case the sun certification
means more.

But certifications are just there to prove your level of understanding.

Re: [PHP] PHP Oficial Certification

[Yann Larrivee]

Well i think in a way that getting programmers certified is one thing. I
also think that there might be a need for software certification.
Where it would validate that the standars have been fallowed, check the
quality of the code, check for security, check for proper docummentation
(comments, uml, user docs)
Some what like the ISO 9002 certification but more software oriented.

I think this would help php be more accepted by large compagnies, banks
and gouvernements. It would also reassure the company that buy a
software. The problem with this it would requiert alot of work!

Certify programmers is just solving one part of the problem.
Certifying software and business is the big piece and where money will
be involed.!

Re: [PHP] Recommendations for PHP debuggers?

[Yann Larrivee]

Hello,

Just use xdebug
www.xdebug.org

It's nice,  and IDE independant.
It also generate code profile (in case you need to optimise)

Has far has IDE wise. I know Komodo use xdebug for it's debugger and code step 
trough, so it must be good.

If you have more questions  regarding xdebug let me know. I will try to 
answer.

Re: [PHP] CMS Templating with Standards Based HTML Delima...

[Yann Larrivee]

Hi,

There are a few steps to do befor you go ahead and choose a CMS.

One of them, is determining your needs.
Second is looking at the major projects and see how each of them answer
your needs.
The size of the community supporting the project.
Code quality (does it re-use existing code from the community ie: did
they recode their database abstraction layer or used PearDB)
How many database it support (mysql is good, but maybe you want to offer
the choice to your customer)
Is done in 00 ?
Does it have search engine friendly url by default (many cms generate
really long url)
Does it support many languages (in my case this is important to be able
to manage a multi-langual website).
And the most important one, Is it easy to modify and is their a good
user and programmer reference and manual.

Plus doing a set of bench mark might be interesting to do, to know how
many visitors the system can handle

If none answer exactly your need, (say 90%) why not code the 10% and
give it to the community instead of recoding the hole thing.

Coding such a system is complexe, and will require alot of energy, will
the community could provid most of the work.

Here are a couple website that could help you choose.
http://www.opensourcecms.com/
http://www.cmsreview.com/
http://www.cmsinfo.org/

Another quit way to get around the most popular CMS would be to attend
to our CMS debate (will be in french) at the PHP Quebec Conference.

In 2 hours we will go around the most critical needs that a CMS should
offer, and how the most popular project like :TikiWiki, Spip, Xoops,
Typo3, Zope, answer them.

Personally i use xoops for the PHP Quebec community website
http://www.phpquebec.org i also saw breifly tikiwiki seems a great
product.


Good luck.
