[PHP] Reading an MS Access Database file on *NIX platform using PHP
I'm building a small web application for a friend using PHP. He'd like to use MS Access to keep the data in, and update the data on the site by FTP'ing Access files he edits on his machine up to the web host. The web host is unix-based (FreeBSD, slightly hacked by Verio, I believe), so this means COM functions aren't available. ODBC was my next thought, but I've never used it, and there are a few things I don't understand. Setting up a DSN is one of them -- apparently this isn't as simple as constructing a string, and all the tutorials I can find seem to involve going into a Windows control panel and making a setting. This of course will not be possible, since there are no windows control panels on FreeBSD. In short: can anyone offer any quick tips on how to use the odbc database functions or PEAR::DB to query data from an MS Access file sitting on a UNIX box?

[PHP] Fatal Error: Call to undefined function: *mail()*? What's next, echo?

[PHP] Using Image/GD functions to transform images stored in database
I'm new to the GD/Image functions with PHP, and I'm trying to use them to manipulate jpeg images that I've stored in a MySQL database (specifically, creating thumbnails). The thing I can't tell from reading the documentation is how to use these image functions to operate on image data -- it looks like you get a GD image resource in each case by specifying a file name, not by passing image data directly. While I can see how that's convenient for the common case, I can't figure out how to make this work without writing the image out to a file (and since I'm already taking a bit of a performance hit by reading the image out a database, that seems like the wrong thing to do). Can anyone elaborate? Thanks, Weston -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] More Image Transformation Difficulty
I'm trying to write a script that pulls an image from a database and transforms
the size if passed a width via the url query string.
Thanks to the helpful hint about the function "imagecreatefromstring", I
think I'm now able to ready image data I've pulled for a database with
GD. However, I'm still having trouble resizing... at least, when I'm
sending the image to my browser, I'm being told that it "cannot be
displayed, because it contains errors." (And the script does work if
I don't try resizing... see below for example URL).
Here's what I'm doing:
$row = mysql_fetch_row($dbresult);
$imgdata = $row[0];
if(isset($width) && !empty($width) && is_numeric($width))
/* only do transformation if given a width */
{
$gdimg = imagecreatefromstring($imgdata);
$srcWidth = imagesx($gdimg);
$srcHeight = imagesy($gdimg);
$scaleFactor = $width/$srcWidth;
$targetHeight = $srcHeight * $scaleFactor;
$resizedimg = imagecreatetruecolor($width,$targetHeight);
imagecopyresized($resizedimg,$gdimg,0,0,0,0,$width,$targetHeight,$srcWidth,$srcHeight);
}
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\n");
//send file contents
if(!empty($resizedimg))
imagejpg($resizedimg);
else
{
header("Content-length: " . strlen($imgdata) . "\n");
print($imgdata);
}
Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Again, the script actually works if I
don't try to do the transform. See:
http://www.fsboutah.net/jpg.php?table=homes&key=4&field=Picture1
and
http://www.fsboutah.net/jpg.php?table=homes&key=4&field=Picture1&width=100
for contrasts.

[PHP] Oh, for a "sureset()" (orthogonal to isset())
I'm sure I'm not the first person to find strict checking of whether
or not variable (or array index) is set painful. I've considered
just setting error_reporting() to some lax level on every script I
write for the rest of my life, but have been thinking there might
be a better way.
What I'd like is a "sureset()" function ...there's probably a better
name, but what it would do is more important:
function sureset($var) {
if(!isset($var) || empty($var))
return '';
else
return $var;
}
Of course, when you've got strict checking on, the above doesn't
work, because if the variable is unset you get caught on the fact
before the function call happens.
Is there something like this already? Is there a way to make this
work? Or should I just go back to the idea of nuking error_reporting
in all my scripts?
Thanks,
Weston

[PHP] arrow values in command line php
A while back I decided I wanted a simple interactive interpreter for PHP. So I wrote a little PHP script that essentially did a read from stdin, and ran eval on that. Worked for most situations I was in. I'm trying to add some more features now, namely recalling a list of commands using the up and down arrow, and making each line left/right arrow editable.

[PHP] Getting PHP on Windows to talk to MS SQL?
I'm trying to get PHP (for Windows) to talk to MS SQL Server. This
is proving to be non-trivial...
I downloaded and installed the Windows binary package on my machine
(the machine is running Microsfot Windows XP Professional), and
jumped through the hoops to get it running under Apache 2.0. So
far, so good.
Now, the first thing I noted was that the mssql functions actually
don't seem to exist in the binary... and apparently you have to
compile them in to PHP, after having built FreeTDS. This seems a bit
odd, as it's not at all clear to me that FreeTDS actually will
build under Windows at all (it being a UNIX solution). I did try
building it under cygwin, which ended with a flurry of error messages
in bsqldb.c, so this assumption seems correct.
All right, approach #2... maybe I can use COM objects to try to
connect to an ODBC data source, something like an example I found
on the php documentation for mssql:
$db = new COM("ADODB.Connection");
$dsn = "DRIVER=SQL Server; SERVER=my.local.server;UID=user;PWD=passwd;
DATABASE=dbname";
$db->Open($dsn);
$rs = $db->Execute("SELECT * FROM project LIMIT 1");
while (!$rs->EOF)
{
echo $rs->Fields['project_id']->Value."";
$rs->MoveNext();
}
This seems to at least kick up no errors up to a point... and
that point is when I try to wind through that loop.
Any ideas what the right best way to do this is? I'd prefer to
use the mssql functions if I can...
Thanks,
Weston

[PHP] Extending a class with a static constructur (like PEAR::DB)
So... I'm trying to extend PEAR::DB. It'd be great to keep everything it offers
and just add a few more perhaps unconventional functions.
Intuitively, it seemed like this approach might work:
testext('testing');
$dte->testext($dte->moo);
$dte->testext($dte->bar);
?>
However, it doesn't seem to understand that the method "testext" exists, and
gives me a fatal error to that effect, as you can see:
http://weston.canncentral.org/web_lab/mlib/DBToyExt.php
I'm guessing this is a side effect of the static constructor -- apparently
using the "extends" keyword is enough to help the engine know that the class
DBToyExt is supposed to inherit the static function "connct", but it's not
enough to bless the return value of connect from the class DB to DBToyExt
How do I get around this and extend DB?
Thanks,
Weston

Thanks! Works like a charm:

That's interesting. I think I just sortof expected that since the canonical
invocation is through a statically called method, calling it by dereferencing
a specific object wouldn't work.
Does anyone know if that would also work in PHP 5?
If not, is there another way to do what I'm trying to do?

Ahhh! I'd kept thinking what connect() returned was a db object, but it does
look like
it returns varying objects depending on which database you're using.
Maybe I'd want to extend DB_common instead of DB_mysql, so that the methods
would
be inhereted by any object?

[PHP] CLI - php shell script worked under php4, breaks under php5
A while back I wrote a little read-eval-print loop that essentially constituted a very basic php shell: http://weston.canncentral.org/misc/phpsh.txt This has almost always run fine for me with the cgi versions of php 4, and often proves to be a great help in quickly testing various snippets of code. However, I just recently tried to use this with PHP 5.1.2, and found that it doesn't work. Specifically, it seems to wait for input to be typed without issuing a prompt. Upon entering a line, there's no response, until one presses ctrl-d. At this point, it throws a parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in phpsh5(23): eval()'d code on line 1 regardless of whether or not there are in fact any unmatched parenths (or any parenths at all) on the entered line. And it apparently doesn't execute any of the code at all until one enters "exit" as a command. I've tried switching from /dev/stdin to php://stdin, tried adding -f or -a to the processing options nothing seems to make a difference. I also tried removing my "_readln()" function, and simple entering a default expression. This produces the expected (if repetetive and ultimately practically useless) results, so I assume it's something in my _readln() function that throws it off.

[PHP] Re: [PHP-INST] OS X and Curl Issues
I found two main things that were hampering my install. 1. While I thought I had updated cURL, I believe I may have only upgraded the executable itself the first time, while leaving the libraries themselves at an older version. 2. OS X install cURL with a prefix of /usr, whereas the standard cURL install uses /usr/local. /usr has a higher preference in the compiler/linker's environment path, so it continues to use the old version if you do not change the prefix of the new cURL. The solution is just to grab the new cURL, then configure and make it. I used a configure of: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-ssl Then went ahead with my php install, and everything outside of phpMagick worked great, and that subject is a whole different story.

[PHP] Free Util: apxDebug
Hey all, I've been meaning to write a simple debug tracking class for use in my own projects. So this week I finally did. I have no clue if anyone else would ever use it, or have any interest in looking at it, but I've set it up for people to download it if you have any interest. Regardless, I would love if people wanted to take a look at it and just give me general comments on the code. http://www.anapraxis.com/os/apxDebug/ What does it do? It's just a simple tool for logging debug messages from within any other php development. Being a MacOS X user for developing and serving, I find that many of the nice tools, such as Zend's aren't available for real debugging. So I frequently am writing values out to screen for debugging. This tool separates them mostly from whatever you are working on and let's you classify them, and show/hide groups of them when browsing. I've set up a simple online demo, but since it really is for development it may be hard to understand without just trying it out in your own code. I've been developing tools for installations on clients intranet servers lately too, to where I cannot see in, but they can see out. So I have written the tool to both log the debug info to a text file, as well as email the logfile to an address through the browser pop-up. Right now it only does html emails, but I am working on getting it setup to handle plain text and mixed mode as well. It uses css, dhtml, and javascript for the display so likely requires gecko or MSIE 5 or higher. Also, if you are just interested in seeing php and javascript work together, it might be a good introduction for you, nothing complicated, I just use php to feed in some of the js variables. Anyhow, drop me a line with any questions if you have them, or feature requests, I'd love to know if anyone else besides me would actually use this thing. :) Oh, and if it just completely screws up for you, let me know too. I'd call this a 0.9 beta version, so I'm sure it will find a way to surprise me. Cheers, Wes -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] str_replace
All, In using str_replace, I glanced at the manual and found that it can take arrays for it's arguments. Great! I thought that I could have a single search string, an array of replacement vars, and no subject. It would then replace each successive instance of the search string with the next element in the replacement array. Sadly this is not the case. Anyone have any recommendations on how to go about this? Best idea using p/ereg_replace? Or just a loop system in which I replace the first instance of the string each time? I'm not great at p/ereg yet, anyone have any pointers? Cheers, Wes -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] str_replace
okey dokey, here goes: this gets really complicated to explain without showing the code, which I really can't do (damned NDA's) and ultimately it's a bit big to post anyhow. But I'm going to try. I let the user specify a number of rows to input 2 pieces of data. I then replace a template containing one row with that number of replacement rows when displaying the form. In the process of creating the final data to send to the user I of course have to fill in a couple of details. So I start with a base form field: !value! So that line has to be repeated as many times as the user enters. With the !**! values being replaced by the correct information. The !value! needs to just be a simple incremented count. What I was hoping to do was build an array of the correct data for each row, then insert it into the template. The template doesn't distinguish each row at all, so I am trying to shove different data in for each row, when at this stage, I just have a template that looks roughly like: !insert_row! !insert_row! !insert_row! I was hoping the str_replace with an array would work here, but it isn't, so I am looking for other options. I know I have a way to do it now, by just looping through and replacing them one by one. I was just trying to find a little bit more elegant solution I guess. Thanks, Wes On Thursday, December 26, 2002, at 08:14 PM, John W.

It would then replace each successive instance of the search string with the next element in the replacement array. Sadly this is not the case. Anyone have any recommendations on how to go about this? Best idea using p/ereg_replace? Or just a loop system in which I replace the first instance of the string each time? I'm not great at p/ereg yet, anyone have any pointers? Can you explain exactly what you want replaced and with what? Give an example of the string and what will be replaced and what it will be replaced with. Then someone can write/help with the regex. ---John W. Holmes...

[PHP] __PHP_Incomplete_Class Object
Ok, now I'm frustrated.
I'm trying to register an object in the session, and access that object
from 2 different pages.
I start off in the first file, and do:
include("nycmgMail.php");
session_start();
$myMailer = new nycmgMail();
$myMailer->buildRecipients();
$_SESSION['myMailer'] = $myMailer;
?>
If I print_r the $_SESSION on that page, everything looks fine. So I
then move to my second page, and use:
session_start();
$myMailer = &$_SESSION['myMailer'];
if ($myMailer) {
$addressArray = $myMailer->getRecipients();
} else {
$addressArray = null;
}
?>
Now when I do this, if I look at the $_SESSION object I see that that
class is now listed as:
[myMailer] => __PHP_Incomplete_Class Object
(
[__PHP_Incomplete_Class_Name] => nycmgmail
...
and in the error log I see:
[29-Jan-2003 23:58:09] PHP Fatal error: Unknown(): The script tried to
execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please
ensure that the class definition nycmgmail of the object you are
trying to operate on was loaded _before_ the session was started in
/.../.../.../.../admin/addresses.php on line 6
I swear I have done all of this before, but it is just not working now,
and for the life of me I can't see anything right in front of me.
Help! Please?
thanks,
Wes

Re: Fw: [PHP] Resizing Images Uploaded to Web Page
iMagick offers all of the functionality of imageMagick, which is a substantially different subset than GD. iMagick is primarily geared toward modifying existing images. Resizing, converting formats, apply effects to, etc. It also works with a far larger set of base image formats. Check out imagemagick itself, and then for access to that functionality in php, head out and grab iMagick.

Ignorance I suppose. The alternative is to have your friend use a relational database and have a few simple forms that will allow him to insert/update/delete. Best of both worlds, and the open source/free databases mysql/postgresql are used on thousands of websites every day. I share a low regard for Access, and I've got a set of standard forms/code I use to set up a nice interface to MySQL, and I showed it to my friend. He likes that, but there's a problem: He wants to be able to make changes offline, and then sync up. This isn't an uncommon desire... I've run into people wanting to do this before (with Excel spreadsheets, no less). And in fact, it's probably the most convenient way of doing things, as long as they're warned about certain dangers (overwrites from competing unsynced database files). There's a certain cumbersome nature about web forms and the time delay involved in HTTP transactions. So anyway, that's the motivation for using Access here. David Otton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Suggestion: go backwards. Set up the data in, say, MySQL with an ODBC driver, and use Access as a front-end onto that data (Access makes a good front-end for manipulating other databases). I've done this with SQL Server, but it should be possible with anything that can talk ODBC. He gets the interface he's used to, you get a database that can run under BSD. Of course, changes will be reflected in the site in real-time, which may be a good thing or a bad thing. Either that or export the data from Access in a readable format, and import it at the other end. These ideas might work better; especially the latter. If COM doesn't work under UNIX and ODBC can only talk to FoxPro, Access, and other document (rather than server) oriented databases with the help of some special Win32 control panel/dll, then it would seem that the only way to do offline updates that are then synced would be exporting from Access in some standard format. But it seems somewhat odd to me that there aren't any UNIXy (PHP, Perl, something) for parsing Access files. I know there's a few CPAN modules for Excel, but it's interesting that there's apparently nothing for Access. ~ == ~ http://weston.canncentral.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] PHP Shell doesn't run on a system
A while back I wrote a small script that was designed to work as an
interactive interpreter for PHP code, a la Python. The script itself is
written in PHP, and is pretty basic:
function readln()
{
$fp=fopen("/dev/stdin", "r");
$input=fgets($fp, 255);
fclose($fp);
return rtrim($input);
}
print "\n";
foreach($argv as $arg) include_once($arg);
do
{
print "phpsh> ";
$cmdline = readln();
$lastchar = substr($cmdline,-1);
if(($lastchar == ';') || ($lastchar == '}')) // No Return Value
$returnval = eval($cmdline);
else//
eval and return the value
$returnval = eval("return($cmdline);");
if(isset($returnval) && !empty($returnval))
{ echo $returnval,"\n"; }
} while(TRUE);
?>
Since it lets you evaluate setup test scripts specified via the command
line, it's not a half-bad way to debug things, not to mention ints main
purpose, which is to let you interact with the language or some other
code and see if things behave as you expect.
It runs great on my home system, running OS X, and one other web server
I host on However, I recently moved it over to a friend's shared hosting
at Verio, and it doesn't run on this system. Rather, it gives me the
following messsage:
Parse error: parse error in
/usr/home/jakus1/www/htdocs/phpsh(28) : eval()'d code on line
1
phpsh>
Parse error: parse error in
/usr/home/jakus1/www/htdocs/phpsh(28) : eval()'d code on line
1
Which it actually repeats over and over again, until I hit ^C or ^Z.
Looks to me like my function to get command line entries isn't working
so well -- but why not on this server if it works so whel on the other
systems? Is there a setup option I'm missing?
And while we're at it, has anyone written a tool that will tell you
what's different between server setups?

Re: [PHP] POST form File Upload Progress Bar?
My cheap trick around this is to have an onClick event on the form submit button that brings up a small window with a progress note in it, and an animated gif of a prgress bar. As the page does not unLoad until the upload is finished, I use the unLoad event of the body tag to close that progress window. Generally works really well for me.

[PHP] PHP 4.2x changes
All, I've recently upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.2.0. And of course my script has stopped working. I know a lot with the globals has changed, but to be honest, I am not sure how or why.

Re: [PHP] PHP 4.2x changes
Thanks for the link. Everything there makes sense, and I'm not sure if I need to turn register_globals on to make this work. Is there a way to get either: $_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] Or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] (perhaps??) Without turning register_globals on? Oh, and I am doing this from within a class. I'm guessing I could do it outside of the class and pass it into the constructor, but I'd prefer to just get it inside the constructor if possible... Essentially I am just trying to find out from whereon the filesystem the script is being called initially. Thanks for the patience and help.

[PHP] Missing functions??
Hello again all, I'm using the Mac OS X binary of PHP 4.2.1 provided by Mark Liyanage (http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/), and I am starting to notice some oddities, I was wondering if anyone else had seen these errors in other ports. I'm getting some base php functions that seem to be missing, such as: bindtextdomain textdomain And it doesn't seem to like the _() references in array declarations.

[PHP] Apache query error affecting PHP?
Hello... I'm wondering if I have found an oddity in httpd. I'm currently writing a PHP directory listing system. I am pretty sure that this is not a php issue, but I have not been able to test it on a httpd install sans php, but it can be seen when requesting an image file, which should not invoke the PHP parser. So here it is, if you try hitting the URL: http://www.anapraxis.com/assets/global/en_solutions.gif?element=../../../ Or if you would like to see it on the httpd site: http://httpd.apache.org/images/httpd_logo_wide.gif?element=../../ Apache will actually return the directory listing of the assets/ directory (assuming you have directory listing enabled, otherwise it returns the standard forbidden error). It does not seem to matter what the actual variable name following the "?" is. However, shouldn't apache ignore anything following the "?" as it should really just be a part of the query string variables? This really seems to be buggering my attempt at passing directories in variables, but it seems that a lot of scripts must do this, am I just doing something stupid?

How silly of me not to think of this problem in the first place. It is not an error in the server, but in the browser. I didn't bother testing it in any other browser initially.

Re: [PHP] _() ???
Oddly, I get the following error on the page when trying to view it though:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _() in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/admin/horde/config/prefs.php on line 5
Here's the exact offending code:
$prefGroups['language'] = array(
'column' => _("Your Information"),
'label' => _("Language"),
'desc' => _("Set your preferred display language."),
'members' => array('language'));
Where the "'column' =>" line is line #5, so the parser seems to think it is
a function?

[PHP] Read and Escape file
Hey all,
I am looking to build a bit of a weird templating system for a project I am
working on. Currently, I am looking at building these templates in separate
text files, and allowing certain elements to be replaced within those files.
I'm thinking then of reading these text files into php through filesystem
functions, turning the template into a string assigned to a php variable. Is
there anyway I can do this and escape any elements in the file that might
terminate the string? So if the file contains a quote (") that it does not
kill the string?
Or would this not be an issue if I just used fread to assign the data to the
var?
Thanks,
Wes

[PHP] Large File Uploads, max file sizes and timeouts
Hey all, Two related questions. If I remember correctly this has been beaten to death before on the list, but here I am having issues with it, and ending up at somewhat of a loss still. I've built a media management system for a video company. It is built to handle large data assets, such as extended full size video files. As such, I've set the max upload file size in the php.ini file to around 3GB. I'm running into a bug where the system seems to think that the file upload is done at about 140MB on a 300MB file. Everything seems to close out fine within the system, acting like the file was originally 140MB and it uploaded just fine in the system. But it really is a 300MB file, I promise. Does this ring any bells with anyone? This is all over a local network, so I'm not inclined to believe that it is network lag triggering the connection to close... Second, can anyone point me in the right direction within the documentation to tell how to override the php.ini fiole on a particular page to allow a larger file upload size and a longer session timeout?

Translating nested tables becomes an impossible job for them. I've heard a rumor this is exaggerated, and I buy it to some extent. Lynx had an algorithm for distinguishing simple tabular data from more complex (and probably layout) tables back in 1999. I'd assume a serious screen reader with more development resources behind it could do better, and I don't think heuristics for working with this would even be particularly hard. This isn't to say tangled table markup is never a problem. It is, both for human and machine readers. But as much as I like CSS -- and as much as it simplifies many designs -- there are some cases for which table layouts are easier and/or more robust, so I almost just wish we'd accepted the horse was out of the barn and tried to figure out an easy way to signal distinctions between layout tables and semantic tabular data, rather than trying to get the entire internet to completely retool. A few years ago, I started marking my layout tables with class="layout". Not always a perfect solution, but makes the distinction easy (and turns out to be a useful styling convention as well), and if table-based layouts really are a significant obstacle to machine readers, my guess is something like this would get us over that hurdle a lot faster than waiting for everyone to give up those layouts. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Problems working with HTML using PHP's XML tools (placing mixed text/html into xpath-specified nodes...)
Is there a straightforward way (or, heck, any way) of placing mixed
html/text content into xpath-specified nodes using any of PHP's XML
tools?
So far, I've tried SimpleXML and the DOM and things aren't coming out well.
SimpleXML:
/* $filename contains path to valid XML file, $xpathxpr contains
valid XPath expression matching at least one document node, $fillval
contains a mixed well-formed text/xhtml string to be pre-pended within
each matching node */
$sx = simplexml_load_file($filename);
$nodes = $sx->xpath($xpathxpr);
foreach($nodes as $node) {
$children = $node->children();
$children[0] = $fillval . $children[0];
}
This only sortof works. I get $fillval appended before the original
contents of each matching docment node but if I've put any markup
in, it's all there as literal text (ie, http://php.net";>php.net wouldn't show up as a link, you'd
see the actual markup when the document is rendered).
A variation on this that I tried is creating a new SimpleXMLElement
object, with the mixed text/markup string as an argument passed to the
constructor, since the docs seem to indicate this is blessed. Weirdly,
when I do this, it seems to actually be stripping out the markup and
just giving the text. For example:
$s = new SimpleXMLElement('Boo')
echo $s;
yields "Boo" (and echo $s->a yields nothing). This would be such a
huge bug I have a hard time believing it, so I have to suspect there's
a dance I'm not doing to make this work correctly.
DOM XML:
/* again, $filename contains path to valid XML file, $xpathxpr
contains valid XPath expression matching at least one document node,
$fillval contains a mixed well-formed text/xhtml string to be
pre-pended within each matching node */
$domDoc = new DOMDocument();
$domDoc->loadHTML(file_get_contents($filename));
$search = new DOMXPath($domDoc);
$nodes = $search->query($xpathxpr);
foreach($nodes as $emt) {
$f = $domDoc->createDocumentFragment();
$f->appendXML($fillval . $emt->nodeValue);
$emt->nodeValue = '';
$emt->appendChild($f);
}
This also gets mixed results. It gets cranky and issues warnings about
any HTML entities (despite that it seems it should be clear this is an
HTML document given the invocation of loadHTML), and while I'm seeing
some markup make it through, I'm not in other cases. I haven't quite
figured out the difference.
I can come up with some runnable tests if it will help, but I'm hoping
someone's already familiar with the general issues with using PHP's
XML tools to work with HTML that they can make some good commentary on
the matter.
Thanks,
Weston

My own experience browsing the web with Lynx (which for the most part, tends to ignore table layout, giving you the content of table cells in source order) suggests that order doesn't end up being a significant issue. The common layouts tend to read surprising well in source order. Navigation is usually at the top or the left, so you encounter it quickly. If there's any problem, most of the time it's that the page author has done something hideous with a lot of images with no alt text or abuse of HTML entitites, or part of the navigation structure is only accessible via javascript or flash or something like that... all separate issues from repurposing tabular markup. And when there *is* some kind of a layout issue, most of the time it's easy to adapt as a human reader by searching/scanning (sometimes easier than if you're looking at a bad visual layout). The tools that enhance accessibility on a page in these respects really don't have a lot to do with whether there's tabular markup -- if you want to enable easy access to page navigation, you can add semantic information about that regardless. In fact, that information is quite likely more important and less prevalent than what you end up with even most CSS-positioned sites, given that the vast majority of them simply provide stylesheets for the purposes of... visual layout, and what you're left with when a screen reader ignores them is linear source-ordered elements. None of this is to say that CSS can't be very useful in addressing this problem (and other problems), or that there aren't some problems with tabular markup. The presentation example you mentioned is actually going to be an issue with even real tabular data without some care taken in the markup. And I don't want to go back to coding 1999 markup for 1999 browsers. Mostly my point is that the problem with using tables is a bit more limited in size than it's often made out to be, there are other ways of dealing with the accessibility and semanticity issues involved, some of them potentially more effective. And for some cases, table layouts just work better. I think we'd be better off with a wide variety of professionals who can balance these different issues than with a "tables considered harmful" summary. > Now compound that with cells holding images, > place-holders, empty cells and cells with navigation elements, > flash, videos, and such -- and you might have a better appreciation > as to the problem screen readers face. These are actually some of the heuristic markers I believe some browsers actually use (and if they don't, they certainly could). If you have a table whose cells largely contain highly mixed markup, largely presentational elements, no alternative data, chances are pretty good that it isn't tabular data. And...

Exactly. These are great markers for distinguishing between where authors were using table markup semantically or presentationally.

I eventually shifted to class="layout" because it had some other practical benefits and everybody I talked to seemed to feel cluttering up the attribute space with yet another item was wrong (on top of this sortof general malaise about repurposed table markup), especially when considering how much semantic mileage you can get out of class attributes.

So, I've got a little piece of code designed to play with catching the exception that's thrown when an object doesn't have a __toString method. This does not run as expected. I'd think that when the implicit string conversion in the try block hits, the exception would be thrown, caught by the catch block, and relayed. Instead you don't ever see the words "exception caught" and you get "Catchable fatal error: Object of class A could not be converted to string." If it's catchable, why isn't it caught in my example?

That's definitely confusing, but more confusing to me is labeling the
fatal error as "catchable", which definitely implies a try / catch
block should handle it.
Maybe they should call it a "handleable" fatal error :) ... implying
it can be managed with set_error_handler().

This looks like a great idea -- I was thinking I'd have to give up the
convenient flow control involved in exception handling, but this
should bring it back nicely.

[PHP] Trouble compiling in mysqli under PHP5 -- "mysql_config not found"
I'm trying to build a CLI/CGI binary of PHP5 with MySQLi under Mac OS X. When I invoke configure, I get the following error message: "checking whether to enable embedded MySQLi support... no mysql_config not found configure: error: Please reinstall the mysql distribution" Now, mysql (4.1.22) is in fact installed, and it looks to me like the headers are in fact there (and mysql_config seems to be under ./bin), and I did give it the path with the config option (--with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql -- yes, I know this isn't the conventional Mac OS X path, but I like these things under /usr/local, so). Curiously, I note that a build using --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql works just fine. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Ways to tell if existing setup is SAPI or Shared Object?
What ways are there to tell if PHP is actually built into an Apache 2 installation or if it's installed as a shared object? I've dropped a file containing phpinfo() on the server I'm looking at, hoping the Server API value would give me a clue, but it just says "Apache 2.0 Filter," and I don't know if Apache filters are required to be one or the other -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I do have access to httpd.conf. I can't find a LoadModule directive for php in it, though. Is that a bad sign? Could they possibly have been stuffed into any of the other lesser-used conf files? The php_sapi_name function and PHP_SAPI constant may be of use if you just want SAPI info in your program, rather than all of phpinfo() They're probably all exactly the same output, though. Seems to give the same result. ... if you compiled it directly into Apache (does anybody do that anymore?) I certainly wouldn't. But I think this is the default Apache2 distribution on RH9, and you just never know with those folks. ;) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] session looses variable
Hi,
This is what is probably a newbie session problem.
I've been having some trouble with sessions on php 4.0.6, I'm developing
a website in which I don't have direct control over the server. Due to
some other problems I created a test counter script to try to narrow
down where the problem resides but no I'm sort of stuck.
Here is the small counter script.
session_start();
print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS);
if (!session_is_registered('count2345')) {
$GLOBALS['count2345'] = 0;
echo "create count";
session_register('count2345');
} else {
$count2345++;
}
echo "";
echo session_id();
session_write_close();
When I refresh it will periodically loose the count2345 session variable
and recreate the variable. At times it will also jump in value.
Here are also the php configuration session settings.
session.auto_start Off Off
session.cache_expire 180 180
session.cache_limiter nocache nocache
session.cookie_domain no valueno value
session.cookie_lifetime 00
session.cookie_path //
session.cookie_secure Off Off
session.entropy_fileno valueno value
session.entropy_length 00
session.gc_maxlifetime 1440 1440
session.gc_probability 11
session.name PHPSESSID PHPSESSID
session.referer_check no valueno value
session.save_handler files files
session.save_path/tmp/tmp
session.serialize_handler php php
session.use_cookies On On
Here is also the compile configuration which includes --enable-trans-sid
'./configure' '--disable-pear' '--enable-ftp'
'--with-sybase-ct=/usr/local/freetds' '--enable-trans-sid'
'--enable-force-cgi-redirect'
Thank you

[PHP] Advantages of declared vs undeclared object properties
In a setup like you've got with a SimpleXML object, where object properties aren't necessarily declared in the class definition but are added on an ad hoc basis, is there any performance hit? If not, other than the ability to mark properties as private, is there any other particular advantage to declaring them at the top of the class definition?

[PHP] PHP Extensions as Shared Objects?
This might be a dumb question with an obvious answer somewhere, but I'm wondering if it's possible to build php extensions as shared objects that plug into the PHP binary much like an apache shared module plugs into apache. Is PECL close to this? Sorry if this is obvious. Searches on the topic are pretty noisy given that php's installation as a shared module itself for Apache are a fairly popular topic.

[PHP] 5.3 Timeline and Features(true anon functions? shorter array syntax?)
Just curious if anyone knows the rough timeline for PHP 5.3. Also curious if anyone knows whether anon functions/closures or a shorter JSON-ish array syntax are being considered for inclusion. I know there were two patches announced in December/January: http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=119833623532713&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=119995972028293&w=2 But they don't seem to be part of the early June 5.3 releases, much as I'd love to see them. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] PHP 5 auto-htmlentitizing strings?
I just switched over an app from PHP 4 to PHP 5, and one of the weird things I'm noticing initially is that some of the html output seems to be html entitized. For example, a link that was showing up in html output as: "http://metaphilm.com/philm.php?id=29_0_2_0";>Is Tyler Durden Hobbes?" now gets transformed to: <a href="http://metaphilm.com/philm.php?id=29_0_2_0">Is Tyler Durden Hobbes</a> No other changes in the PHP source -- just a change in the interpreter.

[PHP] "make install" doesn't seem to work on "downgrade" on OS X -- anyone else seen this?
I recently downgraded from a build of 5.3 to 5.2.6 on OS X, and had a bit of time figuring out what was going on when "make install" didn't seem to actually copy the CLI binary and Apache SO to their target spots. Has anyone else seen this problem? What category would a bug report for this be under? It's a build/install issue, but there's no particular category for these beyond compile issues...
