There's a Netcraft survey based graph at php.net that shows about 17
million PHP-powered sites. And we don't need to make assumptions about
ASP either: PHP overtook classic in 2002 and ASP.Net powers fewer than 3
million sites.
[\snip]
Also remember that all you need to dev PHP is a text editor. I still do a
lot of editing in notepad and wordpad.
When you start doing .Net applications you need to get visual studio - which
is far from inexpensive.
PHP will be around for a LONG time because it's accessible. So many people
can use it and it easily crosses from dev to live environments - some of
which on different platforms.
So all the numbers aside, PHP will survive because so many people have the
ability to use it for whatever they can think of in virtually whatever task
they need it to fulfill. The PHP community isn't just a group of hardcore
advocates.
Hang around the boards for a few weeks and see how many people are first
time posters. The number is growing and doesn't take into account the people
that never make it here.

of course it would return the same otherwise it'll have no <BR> via web

support for my PHP 5.0.1. Isn't it strange ? Or it's just the logic of my

Does this work when executed via a webserver? If so, have you checked that
you
have MySQL support compiled into your CLI php?

Yep, that Java applet, Raditha's Rad Upload... Just found the documentation
there that the file path worked before PHP 4.3.6 but not with 4.3.6 and up.
I don't know what the PHP developer did with the $_FILE codes before
releasing PHP 4.3.6....

Maybe point out to your manager that the internet is, essentially, open

Open Source is that it can't disappear. This is a question to be asked

Hi all,
I'm trying to understand static methods in a test class. Reading the
manual, it says: "A member or method declared with static can not be
accessed with a variable that is an instance of the object and cannot
be re-defined in an extending class."
Test code:
========
<?php
class B
{
private $str;
public final function __construct()
{
$this->str = 'Hello world';
}
public function showB()
{
echo $this->str, '<br>';
echo 'Showing B<br>';
$this->TestStatic();
}
public static function TestStatic()
{
echo '<br>Inside Static<br>';
}
}
echo error_reporting() . '<br>';
$test = new B;
$test->TestStatic();
$test->showB();
echo "-- END --";
?>
Output:
=====
4095
Inside Static --> Called by $test->TestStatic()
Hello world
Showing B
Inside Static --> Called from $test->showB with $this->TestStatic()
-- END --
Comments:
========
I'm running PHP 5.0.2 and error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT. As
reported in the output, the values for error_reporting are well set
(4095 == E_ALL | E_STRICT)
I cannot understand why I can access the method TestStatic() with a
variable that is an instance of the class. The manual say I cannot do
it. As you can see, I call the static method with $this->TestStatic()
inside the showB() method; also, I can access it by using the instance
of this class: test->TestStatic().
I get no errors or notices about I'm accessing an static method by
using and instance var. As you can read in the manual, you cannot do
that .... but it works without error.
I'm sure I'm missing something ...
Thanks in advance for comments,
Jordi.

I'm taking a wild guess here, but doesn't that got anything to do with the
public declaration of the method?

Is there any way/document/direction to access the under hood dom object
which is created in php land from the c code inside php extensions?
something like this:
in the php code, I do:
$domdoc = new DOMDocument;
$domdoc->loadXML($strXMLData);
$domnode = $domdoc->firstChild;
//... some operations on dom, then I will call
func_implemented_in_php_extension($domdoc);
and in the c land of php extension, can i do:
PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION(func_implemented_in_php_extension)
{
//...
if (zend_parse_parameters(argc TSRMLS_CC, "z", &domdoc, &dom_len)
==FAILURE)
//...and I can continue to manipulete the dom object in c api, like
domnode = domdoc->firstChild();
domnode->set_content("hello world");
}
and later back to my php code, I do
print($domdoc->firstchild->get_content());
and the out put is "hello world".
On other hand, any idea to do this in the reversed way, access
underhood dom object which is created in c land of php extension from
the php code?
Thanks!

For all practical purposes, no. Session data is kept on the server and
therefore less exposed and less vulnerable than other data.

Assuming you mean HTTP Basic Authentication, it is not encrypted, so it is
not "safe" from snooping.

Not really that secure, but you could do this
1. When the login page is requested, the generate a random string
from the server. Let's call this string STR.
2. On the browser, after the user enters his login name and password,
DONT send this per se. Instead, do some operation on the password and
STR and return this instead. (like concatenate STR and password, then
do SHA1 hash it.)
3. Server performs the same operation with STR and the password in
the database, and compares this with the value submitted from the
client.
So, in no time is the password itself sent. I'm sure there are SHA1
or at least MD5 functions already written in javascript.
I know there is a term to this method, but it escapes me.
HTH!

Use nl2br() when you display the data; nl2br will add a <BR /> before each
newline.

PHP and Perl are both key tools used to build many of the Web's top sites
- Amazon, Yahoo, Ticketmaster, Google, etc. As a Perl developer worded it
at this past week's ApacheCon, these types of sites "receive an obscene
amount of traffic."
How these two languages perform and scale relative to one another is
entirely dependent on the design and implementation - neither is going to
consistently be better than the other, but both are very good.
You will notice that the top sites don't use Java or .NET. :-)

It all depends on the factors like Computer Hardware, Optimization of PHP for
that System/OS , Network Factors and all .
Though it has been the perl way , as it is almost more than a teenager of age
now and has more modules written for it than for PHP , PHP is the beggining ,
but I am sure the Programmers around the world ,who code for PHP way , thier
hardwork will not go waste. and also Shifflet , I know you are the one among ,
PHP is easier to code than Perl .
Yeah , its true that top sites do not use Java or >NET ,

I'm trying to migrate to PEAR::SOAP from NuSOAP, but I'm confused as to
why the result sent back from a function is wrapped in a <return> tag.
The return part of my code is simple enough:
return array('lastStatus' => 'ok');
But this gets wrapped in a <return> tag:
<return xsi:type="xsd:string">
<lastStatus
xsi:type="xsd:string">ok</lastStatus></return></ns4:reportInResponse>
Here is the SOAP response:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";
xmlns:ns4="urn:mwsWSDL"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns4:reportInResponse>
<return xsi:type="xsd:string">
<lastStatus
xsi:type="xsd:string">ok</lastStatus></return></ns4:reportInResponse>

What editor do you use when working with websites (php) connected

I like Eclipse 3.0 with the PHP plugin, but it do not have the future
to connect to the FTP.
HTML-Kit (www.chami.com) will do this. I've been using HTML-Kit for
almost 2 years and I've never had a problem with a bad save.
hth,
chris.
I use HTML-Kit as well and feel it is a bloated pile of crap. Tab
handling is broken (if you select "tabs" over "spaces", selected text will
still indent with spaces if you press tab to indent the whole block of
code). It suffers from severe option overload. It lacks the ability to
use secure FTP. It also lacks simple features like setting a block of
selected text to all lowercase without a plugin.
The only feature I actually like is the ability to edit files via FTP so
that when I hit save, it uploads the new copy to the server. So if that's
all you really care about in an editor, HTML-Kit will do a fine job.
Also, if you tell it where PHP is found on your local machine, it will
highlight all of the PHP function names.
I have tried Ultra Edit, which claims to have a similar feature and
supports secure FTP, but has a horrible implementation compared to
HTML-Kit. EditPlus claims it can connect via secure FTP through an SSH
tunnel, which simply does not work if the server it is connecting to does
not allow FTP connections at all.

I'm trying the example at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.constructor.php
<?php
class A
{
function A()
{
echo "I am the constructor of A.<br />\n";
}
function B()
{
echo "I am a regular function named B in class
A.<br />\n";
echo "I am not a constructor in A.<br />\n";
}
}
class B extends A
{
function C()
{
echo "I am a regular function.<br />\n";
}
}
// This will call B() as a constructor.
$b = new B;
?>
Running this on 4.3.9 both as an apache module and
from CLI I get:
I am a regular function named B in class A.
I am not a constructor in A.
This is contrary to what the manual says:
"This is fixed in PHP 4 by modifying the rule to: 'A
constructor is a function of the same name as the
class it is being defined in.'. Thus in PHP 4, the
class B would have no constructor function of its own
and the constructor of the base class would have been
called, printing 'I am the constructor of A.<br />'."
Is this an error in the manual?
Or a bug in php 4.3.9?
Or just me being stupid?

Try this:
class base_object()
{
function base_object()
{
echo "I'm the base";
}
function base_test()
{
echo "I'm the base test";
}
}
class extended_object() extends base_object
{
function extended_object()
{
echo "I'm the extend object";
$this->base_object();
}
function extended_test()
{
echo "I'm the extended test";
}
}
Barring any syntax errors (I wrote this out of my head), this should
show you that the base object is being properly constructed.

I'm trying the example at:

<?php
class A

}
function B()
{
echo "I am a regular function named B in class
A.<br />\n";
echo "I am not a constructor in A.<br />\n";
}
}
class B extends A
{
function C()
{
echo "I am a regular function.<br />\n";
}
}
// This will call B() as a constructor.
$b = new B;
?>
Running this on 4.3.9 both as an apache module and
from CLI I get:
I am a regular function named B in class A.
I am not a constructor in A.
This is contrary to what the manual says:
"This is fixed in PHP 4 by modifying the rule to: 'A
constructor is a function of the same name as the
class it is being defined in.'. Thus in PHP 4, the
class B would have no constructor function of its own
and the constructor of the base class would have been
called, printing 'I am the constructor of A.<br />'."

Hi all,
Please tell me which is the shortest method for writing the following code:
$var = $_GET['var'] || 'value';
I want the program to put the value "value" in the variable $var if the
array element 'var' is not defined or in case it is 0 and I would like to
avoid using that long style with if (..) {...} else {...}...
Thank you.
Teddy
