[PHP] Re: MMcache question
The use of mmcache (try eaccelerator btw!) is not visible without some stress on the server. Try building a rahter complex PHP script, which does some crazy iterations but without DB connections and such things which are not related to PHPs abilities and use ab (apache benchmark tool) to issue many simultaneous requests to that page; do it a few times, with mmcache and without mmcache enabled and will surely see the differences. No! You don't have to rewrite your application. What mmacache does is to keep a bytecode version of the script available so that PHP won't have to reparse the script every time, which is expensive and also has a nice code optimizer. On heavy loaded sites and on sites that use lots of libraries and objects mmcache (eaccelerator) does a perfect job.

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP web archeticture
Hi,
I personally use phrame because it's small, pretty fast, easy to setup
and was enough for my needs, although it does not seem to be maintained
anymore.
I think you should choose the one which better suits the needs of your
project.
It's rather hard to say that framework is better than the other.
I also tend to stay away from PEAR, which is kinda bloated for my taste,
except
the Log package.
Other than that, it all comes to project needs, personal choice and testing
for
features, speed, stability and support (if you are interested in such things)
although
tests are not always very concludent since they depend on many factors.

I've seen a few posts from folks saying this is the way to go and just want to share my experiences. My original problem was that a script I had for batch generating thumbnails from uploaded images was running out of memory. With Richard Lynch's help I was able to track the problem to createimagefromjpeg() using an unholy amount of memory on one particular file, a file that had passed through getimagesize() with no problems. What I found was that if an image ( in this case a jpeg ) is corrupted, but just barely, getimagesize() will let it through. Just for the record I could open it up in Photoshop and that's how I discovered that it was corrupted, the last ten or fifteen rows on the image were gone. Photoshop showed an uncompressed file size of 11M for this image. But what I had to end up doing is setting my memory limit to 48M before createimagefromjpeg() could get enough memory to work with that it finally failed. Just a heads up to anyone that's using getimagesize() to verify an image before running it through createimagefromjpeg(), just because it passes getimagesize() doesn't necessarily mean it's a good image. Edward Vermillion [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for telling me about that, Edward. I apprecate it.

That might just be down to the particular packages I've happened to use but given a choice I know which one I'd rather use. Yeah, you're basing that on which ones you've used. The interesting thing about CPAN is that it has far more crap than PEAR. This seems to work out well, because the best packages trickle up in terms of reputation. For example, most Perl developers use Test::More to implement their tests, but there is a lot of stuff in CPAN that does the same thing (and outputs a TAP-compliant protocol), and many of them existed before Test::More. PEAR is much more guarded, and it has a higher quality to quantity ratio. This has some advantages. Of course, it also has disadvantages - there will always be complaints about PEAR being political (independent of whether it actually is) by those whose packages don't get accepted. Another problem is stagnant or poor packages that solve an important problem. With CPAN, I can just write a better solution, and if it is actually better, everyone starts using that. With PEAR, I need to try to work with the original author, which might involve enough effort just to make contact that I give up, and the better solution is never developed. It's a risk.

Re: [PHP] send email at certain hour
That would depend a lot: Using your PHP/Webserver alone wouldn't be the best way of doing things - unless you have no other choice. If you do have a choice, I would use cron on Unix, and task schecduler, on windos, as mentioned above. You could use these schecdulers to call a PHP CLI script. If cron/taskManager isn't available to you, then all you can really do, is perhaps use the first request send after the certain time to perform the task. For example if you choose to send an email at 2pm and someone visits your site at 2:05(assuming nobody visited between 2:00 and 2:04), then the mail would be sent at 2:05. The problem with this would be that if nobody visited your site until 10pm, then your emails will be 8 hours late, and if nobody visits your site until 3 days later, then your emails will be three days late..

Now so far you have said the following: - I use such and such a package in PEAR - I wouldn't have a job if not for PEAR - PEAR has helped me meet deadlines - centralized error handling No matter how many deadlines PEAR helps you meet and how much you may find the PEAR modules indispensable, you are expressing a subjective opinion unrelated to the OP's comment about bloated.

Correct; ability isn't the problem; time often is. - ability isn't problem time often is aside However, I also find that I start by creating some functionality myself, and then as special cases start popping up, modifying, adding on... and then discovering that an equivalent PEAR package already exists that covers all these special cases and a number I hadn't thought of. (Pager comes to mind). - pear often already has equivalent code - covers all these special cases I often wonder if what is meant by 'bloat' is that those claiming 'bloat' feel that the PEAR code covers too many special cases -- cases they have not encountered or do not expect to encounter. Personally, I feel that I'd rather have all my bases covered; I can see a point in wanting to keep code trimmed to the necessary cases, though. /aside Additionally PEAR does present a centralized location for common functionality with good peer review, This is one of the selling points for PEAR; many eyes looking at the code, including people who aren't invested in the particular problem. Having the diversity of reviewers often makes for better code. however IMHO I side with the OP with respect to much of PEAR being bloated. Then explain what you mean by 'bloated'. Just throwing out that phrase doesn't give anybody any extra information -- just your opinion. Can you give some examples to *qualify* your statement that PEAR is bloated? That was the main thrust of my rant -- people throwing out unqualified opinion statements like 'PEAR sucks' or 'PEAR is bloated' without explaining *why*. So far all the reasons you've given to indicate why PEAR is NOT bloated have nothing to do with why PEAR is or is not bloated. You have clearly indicated a passion for it, a usefulness from it, even established a decent amount of superiority in it, but if anything your arguments have indicated why it is bloated in many respects: - covers all of these special cases (and by virtue probably more) - I can see a point in wanting to keep code trimmed to necessary cases though - rather have all my bases covered It is my opinion and the opinion of many others that the fact that PEAR covers so many exceptional cases, the fact that PEAR implements such a generalize error handling system, the fact that PEAR do so much generic everything to make everone happy, that these elements that make it so versatile also make it feel bloated.

in php. is this posibile ? if not, what else can I use ?
I've done it using pure PHP for a calendar script.
What I did was write a PHP script with a loop that checks every second
whether or not something should be done. For example:
?php
$t = true;
while ($t) {
if (time() == $myTimeStamp) {
mail(args);
}
}
?
at the top of the script I have a line like this:
#!/usr/bin/env php
for *nixs' and I wrote a little batch file for Windows systems.
At least it works.

RE: [PHP] a basic array question!
If you want to get the lastname value of the array you supplied you would do
this
$value = $foo['facets'][0]['lastname'];
This would give you the HTML form that you have stored in your array.

Actually, my argumentation was not specifically about 'PEAR is bloated', but more along the lines of the many comments I've seen on this list to the effect of 'PEAR sucks'. But I've also seen many comments like the one from Catalin about 'PEAR... is kinda bloated', without indicating why they think so. I should have been more clear in my rant that I'm tired of hearing generalized negative statements against PEAR that are then unqualified (i.e. no substative reasons given). The statement 'PEAR is bloated' doesn't indicate in what way it is bloated. Unfortunately, many read 'bloated' as a negative, and thus as an indication that one should stay away from the code; thus may a developer who has a problem that could be easily solved by PEAR code be turned away from it. Additionally, saying 'PEAR is bloated' doesn't take into account the fact that PEAR is a large group of packages, and that each package within PEAR should be judged on its own. For instance, I've heard and read some good arguments as to why the PEAR package itself is bloated; however, if you've ever taken a look at Cache_Lite, you'd probably agree that it is anything *but* bloated. (The authors of that package put no dependency on PEAR.php, and coded with a goal of efficiency and optimization.) snip Then explain what you mean by 'bloated'. Just throwing out that phrase doesn't give anybody any extra information -- just your opinion. Can you give some examples to *qualify* your statement that PEAR is bloated?

And, as I said, I can completely see your point. But, as noted above, saying PEAR gives a false impression that *all* code in PEAR is bloated, which is simply not the case. On the other hand, you've also given a very nice overview of *why* people feel some code in PEAR is bloated -- which is what I've been driving at. You've qualified the statement, and that's worth much more than simply tossing the phrase off. Thank you!

As it is, I feel they're just FUD based on ignorance. The documentation for some of the less well known packages is poor or non-existant, or at least that's what I've always noticed and has been my major bug bear with PEAR for a long time. Indeed, the DocBook requirement for PEAR documentation is a major issue even with PEAR developers. For example, I want to use the DB_Pager module but there is *no* end user documentation, all I have to work with is some poorly formatted information pulled from the API comments. Just an FYI: Use the Pager package instead. Under doc/Pager/examples in your PEAR directory is a Pager_Wrapper.php script that shows how to use it easily with DB. Pager, unlike DB_Pager, is well documented. There are also a lot of packages (again, less well known ones) that haven't been updated in a long time, in some cases several years. I'm not saying that PEAR in general is a stale project, or that it's no good (on the contrary, I use several of the packages on my sites and they're very useful), but I do get the feeling that the non-core packages have been left to rot both in terms of updates and documentation. This is an issue I've seen PEAR attempt to address this past year through the introduction of its QA team. But the process is still far from tuned. The above are *great* examples of why people might not choose PEAR -- and constructive ones at that. Thanks. I've used both PEAR and CPAN for a few years now and I've noticed that CPAN tends to win hands down in terms of documentation and updates. That might just be down to the particular packages I've happened to use but given a choice I know which one I'd rather use. Ah, a fellow perl developer! CPAN is, for me, *the* reason to code in perl. The perl culture is one that includes testing and documentation as the norm -- and that has made for a solid library in CPAN. However, the TIMTOWDI principle also means that forking is a foundation principle. This can be seen as either a pro or a con: pro, in that you have choice in what module to use; con, in that you then have to evaluate a number of modules.

[PHP] Re: Stop spreading PEAR FUD; WAS Re: [PHP] Re: PHP web archeticture
Hi, I feel like I should answer your anger towards my opinion. First of all I consider PEAR to be bloated for the following reasons; it's a large library, it tries to cover a very general approach and please 99% of case one may encounter. It's exception system is overused and the overhead of it is not to be disregarded. Granted, PHP5 brings PEAR into a new light with it's new object model, but till recently, php4 was in place and it's object model made big class libraries quite a problem. Let's not forget there are few out there using php5 in production. I, for one, prefer to use highly specialezed libraries, which are designed for one purpose only and which are carefully coded to achive that purpose with maximum efficiency and as less overhead as possible. I think PEAR is a very good class library and it's code is very nice and well thought. I use the Log package of PEAR, which does not depend on the PEAR core and I am very happy with it. I don't deny it's usefullness nor do i contest it in any way, I simply prefer a different approach when building a project. If I were to compare PEAR with another well known library from the C++ world I would compare it with MFC and if I am to choose between smaller, leaner and meaner PHP libraries over PEAR then I will choose them just as I would choose ATL/WTL over MFC. It can be that development time may be a bit longer but the code quality will be better in my opinion and I for one value more code quality over a few hours of extra time. Btw! I do keep an eye on PEAR as I do on many other PHP libraries and I do monthly research about what's new and noteworthy in the PHP world. For example, when the issue of using a database layer and a templating engine came into the big picture, I tried both PEAR::DB and ADOdb as I tried PEAR::HTML_* and Smarty. I decided to use ADOdb and Smarty because they were smaller and faster. My decision was based on personal experience and not influenced by opinions expressed by others; of course I did take the time to see what others have to say but the decision was mine to make. I may as well have been wrong in making that decision but for now I am quite happy with it and I don't consider switching to PEAR as a better alternative. Catalin P.S. Please forgive me if my opinion offended you in any way.

[PHP] SCORM PHP
Hello, I have searched freshmeat/hotscripts/google/... for some class or simple PHP script (not a full LMS) to display SCORM content, without success. Does someone know about this topic or if such a class/script exists?, thanks a lot in advanced for your help.
