Hi,
<?php
class A
{
public function func() { echo "A"; }
}
class B extends A
{
public function func() { echo "B"; }
}
$cls=new B();
$cls->func(); //echo: B
?>
How can I call func() of class A from $cls object (that when I call
func() it will echo "A" and not "B")?
Changing functions names or declaring another function in class B that
will call parent::func() are not good for me.
-thanks, Eli

Hi,
PHP5 uses the 'instanceof' keyword instead of the deprecated is_a()
function.
But there's a big difference between the two:
- is_a($cls,"ClassName") *doesn't require* from ClassName to be
declared, and return false when ClassName is not declared.
- ($cls instanceof ClassName) *requires* from ClassName to be declared,
and generates a fatal error when ClassName is not declared.
Since is_a() is deprecated.. is there a way to use instanceof exactly
like is_a() function (so it will not make an error when the class is not
declared)?
-thanks, Eli

http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-subclass-of.php
is_subclass_of() is not exactly like is_a(), in that it will return
false if the object is exactly from the class.
$cls=new ClassName();
var_dump(is_subclass_of($cls,"ClassName")); //dumps: FALSE!
var_dump(is_a($cls,"ClassName")); //dumps: TRUE!

How about

Thanks for looking,
I figured it out, after RTFM for db, I found that I needed to do field=?
instead of using VALUES ().
Example:
$db->query('UPDATE items SET item_name=?, item_desc=?, item_price=?,
extraprice=? WHERE item_id = 3',
array($_POST['title'], $_POST['description'], $_POST['price'],
$_POST['extraprice']));

FYI - You should at least escape the $_POST data (more filtering may be
necessary) before you go inserting it into your database. When using
raw $_POST data it may be possible for someone to DROP DATABASE.
Search the archives (STFA) for more on this topic.

I was planning on this, but I like to get things working first then move
on to cleaning the input up. I'm still learning the db stuff, so the
less that can cause an issue the better.
Thanks,
Dan.

assuming you are using PEAR DB -
$result =& $db->query("UPDATE items SET (item_name, item_desc,
item_price, extraprice) VALUES (?,?,?,?) WHERE item_id = 3",
array($_POST['title'], $_POST['description'], $_POST['price'],
$_POST['extraprice']));
if (PEAR::isError($result))
{
echo "Error: There was an error with the query. Message returned: ";
die($result->getMessage().' '.$db->getUserInfo().' '));
}
Should give you some info to tell you what is wrong.

Thanks I got it worked out though, I'm going to try this also to see
what happens, I'm trying to learn the best I can and when things break
and you fix em you learn a lot more. Thanks again.
PS this is what I did:
$db->query('UPDATE items SET item_name=?, item_desc=?, item_price=?,
extraprice=? WHERE item_id = 3',
array($_POST['title'], $_POST['description'],
$_POST['price'], $_POST['extraprice']));

So that I could use the opendir feature with an ftp url, I downloaded
php-5.0.3 and used the following to make the cgi version:
./configure --enable-ftp
make
cp ./sapi/cgi/php /root
Here is my script:
----start of script /root/z.php----
#!/root/php
<?php
if ($handle = opendir('ftp://login:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/SHARE1/')) {
echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
echo "Files:\n";
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
echo "$file\n";
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>
----end of script----
When I run the script, I get the following error. I am root doing this and
can ftp normally into the server with ncftp. I have another script (shell
script /bin/sh) that I have been doing ftp with, but want some added
features that php 5.0.3 will allow.
----start z.php output-----
# /root/z.php
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.0.3
<br />
<b>Warning</b>: opendir(ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/SHARE1/) [<a
href='function.opendir'>function.opendir</a>]: failed to open dir: not
implemented in <b>/root/z.php</b> on line <b>3</b><br />
----end z.php output----
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. I really would like to get
this running. I am assuming that there is a compile option that I need to add.
Thanks
Steve

You will have also to consider the browser's timeout limit. Uploading a
100MB file via HTTP POST will probably take quite a long time that the
browser will timeout and interrupt the transfer.
I got a thought, but didn't try to check it out:
If there's a way to split a file to small chunks (i.e 2MB a chunk), then
you can use JS Remote Scripting (HTTPRequest) to upload the chunks one
by one, and then append all chunks on server side and you get the 100MB
file. This way you can also display a progress bar of uploading. Of
course the chunks will be transffered like packets (in TCP), so each
chunk will have an header that relates it to the original file.
The part that is not well cleared to me is whether is possible to split
a file into chunks using JS.
What do you think?

I'm not sure, but using multipart encoding may help, it
essentially breaks the huge file into smaller chunks.

Are you meaning timeout limit? Not PHP script execution limit in php.ini?
What I understand, the PHP script does not run until the file is uploaded to
the server via POST.

As the author, I'm precluded from _recommending_ my book 'PHP 5 Objects
Patterns and Practice'. Nevertheless it does cover design patterns in
general and enterprise patterns in particular, so it's relevant to the
thread.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590593804
It's worth taking a look at http://www.phppatterns.com/ as well as some of
the non-PHP resources mentioned. Martin Fowler's Patterns of Enterprise
Application Architecture is seminal in this area. Core J2EE Patterns by
Alur et al is good too, though you have to filter out quite a lot of
EJB-specific stuff. If you're looking for an introduction to patterns in
general then a fantastic starting point is 'Design Patterns Explained' by
Shalloway and Trott.

may be worth the read for you. It doesn't mention an MVC, but they do talk a
little about patterns in PHP.
However, you probably won't find much in-depth coverage of patterns in PHP.
There are alot of good books written on patterns in C++, Java, and C#, but
PHP doesn't have that "enterprise" stigma about it.
I've nearly finished an MVC-based framework in PHP, and think that Java
should be sincerely evaluated before you take up the endeavor. I've had to
reinvent alot of Struts functionality. Not only that, but you'll probably go
further with J2EE on your resume than PHP.
O'Reilly has some good books on design patterns. I picked up Head First
myself, and though it was repetitive, it got the point across pretty well.
You'll find that most of the code is in Java, but it should be easy to read
if you speak PHP 5.
For a quick online reference of some common design patterns (and if you can
read C#), you can look at this site:
http://www.dofactory.com/Patterns/Patterns.aspx#list

Hi everyone,
Shouldn't
void HTML_QuickForm::process (mixed $callback [, bool $mergeFiles = TRUE])
actually return the value returned by the callback function?
One example when this may be handy:
if ($form->process(array(&$fb,'processForm'), false)) {
//data processed (FormBuilder's processForm returns true when
//data has been manipulated)
}

I don't know much about JavaScript or VBScript, but I believe there is an
action called "OnKeyPress" or something to that effect. If that's there,
writing a function that accepts the key pressed and replace it with another
character, while the original pressed character is stored in a shadow array?
Like I said.. have no clue, if this is possible, but that is what I would
try....

session_write_close() is also nice in that freeing the lock doesn't
destroy your existing copy of the session variables, you can still use
them in the rest of your script just remember that they exist in your
current script as they were when you called session_start(), even if
some other script modifies the session, you won't know until your next
call to session_start().
Be careful using data from an unlocked session to to modify that data
later on, as another instance can modify the session in between. Only
release the lock when you really don't care if it's modified
elsewhere.

Hey,
I have a form which allows users to enter a message and then submits to a
confirmation page which displays the submitted message, and it has a form
with a hidden field which uses php to retrieve the message posted from the
initial page and posts that message if the user clicks the submit button
which confirms that it is correct.
However included in the message is a link to a file, and while the message
is displayed correctly on the confirmation page, it has trouble putting the
message into the hidden field, (some goes in the field and some is printed
on the webpage. The code I have used to retrieved the message and store it
in the hidden field is:
<input name="msg" type="hidden" id="msg" value="<?php echo $_POST['msg']
?>" >
However, when I ran the script all that as stored in the hidden field was:
Please use the link below to download my newsletter<br/><a href=\
And on the confirm page where the hidden field is the page had written:
Click here to download and view newsletter " >
Obviously this has something to do with the quotation marks in the a href
statement, however I am new to php and my attempts using addslashes and
stripslashes have failed. I would be most grateful if anyone could help me.
Cheers,
Simon

I cheat. when I am putting something into a hidden field that will have
HTML - I base64_encode it. then when the receiving page gets it I
decode it. It keeps the html from accidentally showing up and "hides"
it from the user. It's ugly - but effective.

Hey,
I am looking for a software that just lists adverts...
eg:
Like ebay but without the bidding
Requirements are simple, so simple that i am sure something like this exists
and i dont have to write it myself:
0.They must register first then...
1.offer the person to put in his ad details, a few other details like his
telephone number, asking price etc
2.(optional) add a photo
3. They can delete their ad if they want to later
4.normal visitors can search or browse by category or latest additions etc
I can give you an example in the form of a swedish site:
http://www.blocket.se
I have found something very close in ASP but i dont trust MS products and
would rather it be in PHP as i can tinker with it (i dont know ASP and my
server does not support it)
As you can see, it wouldnt take too long to build but i have little time so
i would rather finish my "lingering old projects" than start on something
new from scratch....its for a pet site where people can sell (or
barter/exchange) aquarium fish, fish food, aquariums, filters, stands etc
Checking google and hot scripts just sends me to ad management software like
banner rotators and bidding systems etc.
Any help appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hello,
Again this might be more of a HTML quetion. If so sorry about that.
Anyway I was just trying to make a log out button to a page. It should end a
session or/and close browser window. (Closing browser ends the session as
well I think?)
All variable values are deleted when browser is closed. Right?
Can anyone help?
Thanks
-Will
