hi AD7six, seacloud9, Jon, Mike, francky,
Thanks to all. Finally I was able to get rid of all my spaces. As many
of you expected, there were many leading and trailing spaces in my
code and once I removed all of them, everything worked like a charm.
The good news for other is that I wrote a small script that will
identify any trailing or leading spaces or new line in your PHP code
and will inform you about that file. Below is the script that does
this. Just provide the source location ($sourcepath) of your cakephp
application and it will recursively go through each file, checking if
there is any leading or trailing blank spaces.
<?php
/***********************
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: Ritesh Agrawal
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: Identifies php files that contain leading or trailing
spaces before or after PHP opening or closings tags
***********************/
//Set Source Path
$sourcepath = "D:/xampp/xampp/htdocs/memento";
//Regex Express to test leading and trailing spaces
define("PRE", "#^[\n\r|\n\r|\n|\r|\s]+<\?php#");
define("POST", "#\?>[\n\r|\n\r|\n|\r|\s]+$#");
//Clear the file Status Cache
clearstatcache();
//============ Code borrowed from php.net ===============
// Replace \ by / and remove the final / if any
$root = ereg_replace( "/$", "", ereg_replace( "[\\]", "/",
$sourcepath ));
// Touch all the files from the $root directory
if( false === m_walk_dir( $root, "check", true )) {
echo "'{$root}' is not a valid directory\n";
}
// Walk a directory recursivelly, and apply a callback on each file
function m_walk_dir( $root, $callback, $recursive = true ) {
$dh = @opendir( $root );
if( false === $dh ) {
return false;
}
while( $file = readdir( $dh )) {
if( "." == $file || ".." == $file ){
continue;
}
call_user_func( $callback, "{$root}/{$file}" );
if( false !== $recursive && is_dir( "{$root}/{$file}" )) {
m_walk_dir( "{$root}/{$file}", $callback, $recursive );
}
}
closedir( $dh );
return true;
}
//============== end ======================
//If file, checks whether there is any leading spaces before opening
PHP tag or
// trailing spaces after closing PHP tag
function check( $path ) {
if( !is_dir( $path )) {
$fh = file_get_contents($path);
if(preg_match(PRE, $fh))
echo $path. " -- contains leading spaces \n";
if(preg_match(POST, $fh))
echo $path . " -- contains trailing spaces \n";
}
}
