You are calling the function correctly when using a variable. Namely:
$var();
Check that the include file you want included is actually being
included. My guess is that it is not, or the function you expect to be
defined in it is not actually defined there.
Cheers,
Rob.

I tested this functionality.
This is working fine.
foo.php
?
function foo( $var ){
include $var.'.php';
return $var();
};
foo(somefunction);
?
somefunction.php
?
function somefunction(){
echo hello;
}
?
Out put is hello.
You make sure that your both files are in same folder and make sure that
$var.'.php' is exist with $var function.

[PHP] Re: determine which string is longer and then what is different in that string
Okay, why not try somthing like this:
$string1 = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8;
$string2 = 2,4,6,8,10;
$ary1 = implode(,,$string1);
$ary2 = implode(,,$string2);
$num1 = '';
$num2 = '';
foreach($ary1 as $num){
$num1 .= $num;
}
foreach($ary2 as $num){
$num2 .= $num;
}
that would get the strings into 12345678 and 246810 respectfully, so you
could do simple add, subtract, greater than, less than, etc... hope this was
helpful.

RE: [PHP] determine which string is longer and then what is different in that string
Hi Richard,
I am trying to get your actual problem.
First, you want to compare 2 strings and want to check what the difference
between these 2 strings is. I assuming string may contain either numbers or
any characters.
Second, you are trying to compare the numbers.
But I am thinking that your problem is first case.
Then first you check the length, and then check character by character
(check each position, if different character at same position means changed)
for each string.
Warm Regards,
Sanjeev

Re: [PHP] Does JavaScript not work in php web file?
Dear Sanjeev,
you're right. I am sorry for my carelessness. I corrected my code and than try
it again. But again, it does not work as I expect.
I even put prompt(this function is being called); in the jsopsi() but
again the prompt does not come out. Pffuih... I am desperate only because of
this small thing.
Please keep telling me what's wrong with my code. Do I have to write the
JavaScript in another way if the javascript is placed in php file?

[PHP] upload temp dir in vhost env.
Hello again; I have a question about upload temp dir as defined in php.ini; I have been working on a project that has registered users, each having a user space portion of the web site file system. I want them to be able to upload images and such and have the stuff transfered to their own user spaces. With one up load temp dir designated, how do I insure that the uploaded files get to the correct destination? Or, is it possible to designate more than one up load temp dir in php.ini. (that would be the best solution) This situation is not a virtual host environment, but one site that will be using ssl. I am using Apache on unix based host and am aware that php assigns a temp name to files that are uploaded, but if different users are uploading files concurrently, there could be a confusion as to where each file should be transfered to. I do not know where else to look for an answer to this question at present. Any knowledgeable response appreciated.

(that would be the best solution) This situation is not a virtual host environment, but one site that will be using ssl. No, the best solution is for your application to grab the path to that particular user's directory and assign a unique name to the uploaded file, then move it from the temp dir: move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name'], $upload_path); where 'upload_file' is the name of your upload form field. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php I am using Apache on unix based host and am aware that php assigns a temp name to files that are uploaded, but if different users are uploading files concurrently, there could be a confusion as to where each file should be transfered to. That's unlikely to occur. In fact, i'd be surprised if it were possible that PHP would assign a temp name that already existed. brian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] upload temp dir in vhost env.
Hi, that's not a problem to specify where the uploaded file has to be moved after upload. As you specify for each user a personal directory in the system, you just need to use a function like move_uploaded_file() to move the uploaded file to this directory. Each uploaded file goes to, let's say, /tmp (the directory specified in your php config), and inherits from a unique filename. This filename is contained in the $_FILES array available in the script which handles the upload. So if you have a form containing a file upload field called file, you can retrieve the filename of the newly uploaded file using: $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] (if the upload went successfully). You can then simply use: move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], '/path/to/user/personal/dir'); This will work even if multiple users are uploading a file at the same time, as the $_FILES array will contain the info related to a single user. I hope I've been clear enough...

I am using Apache on unix based host and am aware that php assigns a temp name to files that are uploaded, but if different users are uploading files concurrently, there could be a confusion as to where each file should be transfered to. I do not know where else to look for an answer to this question at present. Any knowledgeable response appreciated.

[PHP] How do I delete a composite key?
Im trying to delete a composite key but cannot figure out the proper format.
Would somebody tell me where im messing up? I have an url that is supposed
to send the member id and game id to a delete query. And the delete query is
supposed to grab the id's based on type.
This is the link:
a
href=\member_commit.php?action=removetype=Memberid={$record-Member_id}gametype=Gameid={$record-Game_id}\[GAME
REMOVAL]/a/td\n;
This is the code that recieves the link information:
case remove:
switch ($_GET['type']) {
case Member:
if (!isset($_GET['do']) || $_GET['do'] != 1) {
?
p align=center style=color:#FF
Are you sure you want to delete this ?php
echo $_GET['type']; ??br
a href=?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?do=1yes/a
or a href=member_view.phpIndex/a
/p
?php
} else {
if ($_GET['type'] == Member) {
// delete reference to member
$sql = DELETE
FROM xsm_membergames
WHERE Member_id = ' . mysql_real_escape_string((int)$_GET['id'])
. .
AND Game_id = ' . mysql_real_escape_string((int)$_GET['id']) . ';

RE: [PHP] Does JavaScript not work in php web file?
Hi,
I tried this code by removing PHP codes and made as HTML. As you said prompt

Dear Sanjeev,
you're right. I am sorry for my carelessness. I corrected my code and than
try it again. But again, it does not work as I expect.
I even put prompt(this function is being called); in the jsopsi()
but again the prompt does not come out. Pffuih... I am desperate only
because of this small thing.
Please keep telling me what's wrong with my code. Do I have to write the

There are implementations of C++ compilers that are writting in other languages. I can't speak for Java since I have little experience but I'd be surprised if all implementations are written in C. PHP could easily (although lengthily) be re-implemented in another language, including PHP itself if you were sufficiently mad. they are high level, and although php allows you to write proceedrual code, i think it is best used from an oop paradigm. This would be a personal choice. Just like C++ allows you to write procedural code there are times when OOP makes sense and times when procedural is better. It's a choice that should be left up to the developer, and the argument over whether OOP is better than procedural is not winnable. It's in the same league as PHP vs Python. -Stut -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] How do I get Apache 1.3.36 to use PHP 5
Not to sound like a total nob, but how do I get Apache 1.3.36 to use PHP5. I have both 4 and 5 installed, but it still uses 4. I never had a problem with 4.

[PHP] Adding text before last paragraph

Another possiblity, if you are trying to write this more generically,

$_GET['id'] will then be an array that looks something like this:
array('game' = 42, 'member' = 17);
You would then iterate through $_GET['id'] and show all the factors
that are going into the query/delete.

Since everything I have heard/read is that PHP5 is much faster than PHP4, I expected the opposite to be true, but the numbers are what they are. Also PHP on Apache1 was much faster than on Apache2. The only difference I can figure is that PHP5 was the packaged version that comes with Ubuntu and I had to compile PHP4 from source since there is no package for it in Feisty. But I wouldn't expect a 50% increase as a result of that. Any thoughts on this? Which PHP on Apache1 vs Apache2 did you try?

It's software that you're simply going to see less and less of as fewer and fewer hosts/distros use it. If you analyze the situation more carefully, I think you'll find that the statistics about PHP 4 versus PHP 5 adoption are pretty skewed by large-scale webhosts that are offering PHP 5 now, but aren't pushing their clients to move to a new box with PHP 5, nor upgrading to PHP 5 on the box they are using. Will they start pushing their clients or upgrading PHP out from under them? Probably some of both. Will PHP 4 suddenly disappear from the face of the Earth in December? Or course not. Should you jump through hoops to write new code that works in both 4 and 5? Probably not, as PHP 5 is readily available to anybody. Should your old code that runs on 4 be made to run on 5? Maybe not today, or even tomorrow, but unless you want to co-lo your own box with software for which even Security updates aren't available after Aug 8, 2008 (I think that's the date), then, yeah, you probably should re-write any code that won't run on 5.

Can you give us an example of two strings where the comparison fails?
I suspect you are looking for the number of entries in the
string, rather than the length of the string. For example:
$string1 = 1,2,3,4,5,6,9;
$string2 = 1,2,3,10,11,12;
number of entries in $string1 is 7, number of entries in
$string2 is 6, but length($string1) = 13, while
length($string2) = 14. Is this the problem you are seeing?
Yes that is the problem $string2 is what is saved in the database and
string1 is coming from a form. The form has every thing that is in the
database but could have some items added and some removed. I need to know
what is different so I can add to or remove from a separate table so both
tables are the same.
How about something like
$array_string1 = explode(',' , $string1);
$array_string2 = explode(',' , $string2);
$len_string1 = count($array_string1);
$len_string2 = count($array_string2);
Now you can compare the number of elements in $string1 ($len_string1)
vs. the number of elements in $string2 ($len_string2). And the two
arrays can be compared to see what the differences are.
You haven't really provided enough information about what is really
going on (nor is it necessary to do so), but is it possible that the
two strings could be different but have the same number of elements?
If so, then the lenght of the strings is not particularly relevant,
and you might just want to compare the specific elements of both
strings with each other.

I'm curious as to how everyone organises and includes their classes in PHP5. Let's take a simple example that has 3 classes: customer, order, and database. The database class has a base sql db class (I know there is PDO and other things but this class is already written and working) and classes that inherit from the base class for dev, test, and prod, passing the associated logins. The customer and order will both use the appropriate database class depending on which environment its in (e.g., SalesDevDB, SalesTestDB, SalesProdDB). I don't want to have to go into the customer and order class code and change which db class it uses when I move it from dev to test and from test to prod. What's the proper way to handle this? Or am I way off base? Thanks. Regards, Bruce -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi Bruce,
Use a factory or singleton pattern to instantiate your database objects,
and you can centralize the choice.
public $production = 'Dev'; // or 'Test' or 'Prod'
static function factory($dbname, $args)
{
if (!class_exists($dname . self::$production . 'DB')) {
require 'However/You/Find/It.php';
}
$db = $dname . self::$production . 'DB';
return new $db($args);
}
Singleton would simply return a pre-instantiated object if it exists for
that class type but is otherwise the same.

Then have a config file of some sort in which you specify your DB credentials. There's a variety of ways to do that (ini file, a PHP file with a database url, a PHP file that just has a couple of variables in it, or constants instead, etc.). Pick one you like. Then have your DB connection class read that file's data one way or another and connect as appropriate. If you have to modify anything other than a single config file in order to move your site/app from one server to another, then you have a design flaw. (I'd say that applies for moving the site to a subdirectory on a server too, but that takes a bit more effort.)

Is this the problem you are seeing? Yes that is the problem $string2 is what is saved in the database and string1 is coming from a form. The form has every thing that is in the database but could have some items added and some removed. I need to know what is different so I can add to or remove from a separate table so both tables are the same. A lot of times it's easier to just delete all the old rows and insert all the new ones. It may even be FASTER than using PHP logic to work out what is different.

Not only does it take a helluva long time to load the page but it also

something to do with the lag as well as the nested array with

Could anyone help me or point me in a better direction for performing

Re: [PHP] Re: [PHP-DB] Re: [PHP] Passing variables to a PHP script on clicking a hyperlink
I'll say it again: regsiter_globals has *NOTHING* to do with $_REQUEST. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Zip. To me it allows for the same [lazy] behavior. Period. I've had other people agree. Say what you want about it. No, it only relies on one Designer who wants their request to look like a FORM and another Designer who wants their request to look like a link. I've never had to write an app where I allow GET and POST. Either way can be created using a form, a button, a link, etc. Pick one and stick with it. And I don't really *CARE* if the search terms (or whatever input it its) comes from GET versus POST as there is NO Security difference whatsoever. They need equal filtration. Agreed The point is that GET and/or POST are equally tainted data, and that I wish to provide the same services to either kind of request, and there is NO DIFFERENCE between them for this service. I disagree with that approach to a web application. You're still not getting the point. No, I get it. I was too vague in my original message. To me newbies picked up PHP easily because hey, this query string variable is $foo just like when I do a post variable of $foo! and $_REQUEST to them is their way to get around a register_globals = off installation. I've seen it many times with people just learning PHP. I associate the use of $_REQUEST with people new to PHP, because I've seen it many times. Also when told about $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, etc... they realized how much cleaner that is and adjust appropriately. There *ARE* valid reasons for allowing GET and POST to be used inter-changably. Consider a stupid simple web service that lets you look up Longitude, Latitude by zip code from their own website. Do you really CARE if they use a link or a form to REQUEST the long/lat with the zip input? No. You don't. You're right - I don't. But I tell them to use GET or POST and they prepare their client-side code appropriately. Both ways can be done. I don't make my applications lazy and then allow two interfaces to them when one is perfectly fine and allows for one consistent interaction method. But please do NOT spread mis-information that using $_REQUEST un-does what turning register_globals off does. Because that is simply not factually correct, no matter how you feel about $_REQUEST. Eh, you call it mis-information. I call it advising on how to code a tighter web application. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Best Practices for calling 'setup' classes that extend 'parent' classes?
Put all your classes into a single directory structure.
Use http://php.net/set_include_path (or php.ini or .htaccess) to
provide the FULL PATH to that directory.
PHP now knows where to start its search, and essentially prepends
that directory when it does an include.
Assume this directory structure:
/path/to/your/includes
parent_class.php
/child
some_child_class.php
This works:
?php
set_include_path('/path/to/your/includes');
include 'parent_class.php';
include 'child/some_child_class.php';
?
Do not under any circumstances try to use './' or '../' in your
include statements. You will only make yourself miserable in the long
run.

If its not considered bad practice I could add a primary key to the memberleagues table and be done. Anybody have any tutorials on how to write the php for this?

Using an extra field for a key is only a problem if you have a zillion members/games to the point where the extra space matters on your hard drive.
