I'm creating a subscription service where customers will signup and pay $X
per month to have access to this service. I've done the easy part, which is
communicating back and forth with paypal. Anytime a transaction is made,
it's sent to my ipn.php script. The part I'm having difficulty with is
figuring out how to manage who does and doesn't have access to the service
based on what paypal sends me.
It looks like there are 6 different transaction types possible for
subscriptions.
"subscr_signup"
"subscr_cancel"
"subscr_modify"
"subscr_failed"
"subscr_payment"
"subscr_eot"
For example, what if someone cancels their subscription? I don't think I can
turn off their service immediately because their month might not be over
yet.
Another thought. Would I just mark their account active if they are
"subscr_signup" or "subscr_payment" and leave it at that unless paypal tells
me otherwise (from subscr_failed, or subscr_cancel, or subscr_eot). OR
should I record the date of the "subscr_signup" or "subscr_payment" and only
allow them access for one month after that date?
Anyone have experience creating something like this? Would really appreciate
hearing how you did it. Or if you haven't, but have ideas, let me know!
Thanks!

This is handled by you and your program...

The last one...
I do not use paypal but a bank (VISA/Master/...) and I let my
$USER pay for 3m, 6m. After this time the account will expire.
For the 1m I using auto-renew and I have the permission to make
banktransfers automaticly.
If the bank reject, the Accout expires...
...and if not it will be renewed 1m.

I've always wondered this about OOP and maybe you guys can answer this question.
I'm writing a php application and I'm trying to figure out the correct way to
right the oop part of this application.
for instance.
I have a "project.class" file that has functions for dealing with individual
projects because you break down ideas into singular entities in OOP(as I understand it)
But what if I wanted to deal with multiple projects such as getting a list of the projects in my database,
should I create a function in the "project.class" to handle the now plural request, or should I
create a "projects.class" file that has a function called "getProjects".
Hopefully I'm explaining this question right. It makes sense in my own head. :-)
Thanks,
Brent
Brent,
there are many ways so skin a cat, but one way to solve your problem in
an OO manner would be a container class, call it projects or what you will.
An example(not tested) could be:
<?php
class Container {
private projects = array(); // Contains projects
private projectsLoaded = false;
...
other methods
...
public function getProjects() {
if (!$this->projectsLoaded) {
$this->loadProjects();
}
return $this->projects;
}
private function loadProjects() {
//code to load the projects into the project array
$this->projectsLoaded = true;
}
}
?>
In your main code you can have something like:
$container = new Container;
foreach($container->getProjects as $project) {
$something = $project->someMethod(...);
...
...
}
Hope this helps. . . Dusty

Sorry about the typo, of course it should read:

Well, it might be useful to have more than one list of projects, ie if
you want all design-related projects, or all PHP-projects.
But then you might need a class to organize these Project Lists. Maybe
THIS is then well suited for static methods ;-)

Is this a possible combination ? Work is trying to compile PHP4 against
4.1, I havent even tried it apart from against PHP5. It says in the
manual that the mysqli driver is the only one compatible with 4.1,
although I have managed to compile both mysql and mysqli in php5, and
run my apps ok as i was in php4 using the mysql driver. Is the only
difference the OLD_PASSWORD stuff ?

I'm using PHP 5.0.2
Here is a snippet of my code
$post=$_POST;//this is actually happening in an include somewhere else and
autoprepended. Works just fine.
$modules = simplexml_load_file(MODULES);
foreach ($modules->module as $mod) {
echo $mod->postName.'<br>';
if (isset($post[$mod->postName])) {
die('in post');
....
.....
echo-ing the postName works just fine, but when I get to the checking
whether or not the val is set, I get the error:
Warning: Illegal offset type in unset in /var/www/.....
If I replace $post[$mod->postName] with a hardcoded val, it works
$post['news']
The values of $mod->postName are names of checkboxes.

Are you certain that MODULES has been defined()? And what do you get when you
print_r($modules)?

Yes MODULES is defined. It's defined in an include file. In my loop,
when I echo the $mod->postName the values print just fine. My issue is in
the conditional.

AHA!
Here's what I think's going on (sorry I don't have time to investigate it
myself)....
$mod->postName is a simplexml object. Due to some php5 magic, when used it a
situation that calls for a string (like echo $xmlobj), it echos the proper
value. However, when using it as an array subscript does not appear to qualify
as this situation. To solve this try either:
$post[(string)$xmlobj]
OR
$post[strval($xmlobj)]
I hope this is clear and helpful.

ah yes!!!! thanks!!!! both worked...

So, searching php.net (I swear I did before...)
I found this at http://us2.php.net/language.types.array
" You cannot use arrays or objects as keys. Doing so will result in a
warning: Illegal offset type."
Neverthought that my var was an object, just thought maybe a string. My
new question is, how can I convert this object to a string? Or get the
val of it
Here is my XML
<module name="News">
<postName>news</postName>
<pageLevelPermissions>News : Add
<authenticatedPage>news.add.php</authenticatedPage>
<navDisplay page="/news/news.add.php">Add</navDisplay>
</pageLevelPermissions>
<pageLevelPermissions>News : Current
<authenticatedPage>news.current.php</authenticatedPage>
<navDisplay page="/news/news.current.php">Current</navDisplay>
</pageLevelPermissions>
<pageLevelPermissions>News : Archived
<authenticatedPage>news.archived.php</authenticatedPage>
<navDisplay page="/news/news.archived.php">Archived</navDisplay>
</pageLevelPermissions>
</module>

Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 4 [4] => 5 [5] => 6 )

I'd like to do something with sessions that should be easy. But I'm new
to this, and obviously I'm missing something somewhere...
I want to use cookies if the visitor allows, but tack the session info
(SID) "get style" on the URL of a linked page *only if* the visitor
blocks cookies. I've tried a lot of variations, but nothing really
works. I either get the entire SID value in the URL (even if cookies
are accepted), or the SID doesn't show up in the URL, which means it
works only with visitors who accept cookies.
Below is my most recent attempt. simple.php detects whether the visitor
accepts cookies by forcing a page reload (my thanks to Chris Shiflett),
then attempts a redirection, based on whether cookies are accepted.
Doesn't work.
Anyone got any ideas?
TIA.

Looks like you're making it way more complicated than it needs to be. PHP
will automatically tack on the Session ID tag to your local url's, but only
if it needs to. There is no need to append the SID to url's manually.

Hi,
My question could have quite stright forward answer or the question itself
might be silly but being a newbie, I'll ask it anyway.
First I am trying to convert each character in a string into their
respective ASCII codes and then keep these again in a string. Such as:
string : ABCDEFGHIJ, expect to see in the result : 65666768697071727374
Then I would like to further manipulate this result with some math, say add
10 to each pair (the ascii code) so the new result becomes:
75767778798081828384
For my first attempt I tried:
$x=1
while ($x<=strlen($string)) {
$holder = ord(substr($string, $x, 1));
$result = $result . $holder;
}
and failed since it takes ages to process and does not really return a
proper value/result but repetitive number such as 11111..........
I have also tried a 'for' example I found which failed as well.
I truely hope an expert here could show me some light and point me in the
right direction.
I have 2 sets installed on my PC as PHPDEV423 and XAMPP 1.4.9 (set to use
php4) and it fails in both.
Thanks in advance,
Alp
P.S.: I hope I have posted this in the correct NG
