Tis true, I think mostly I just prefer the visual appeal of v-aligned
braces, as you prefer visually the other. I used your style for about 7
years before I switched, and now for whatever internal appraisal reasons
I just find the inline style messy looking :) Although, I'll take it any
day over some of the other styles I've seen.
Cheers,
Rob.

In other words, the vertical alignment is more a function of the
indentation, to me, then of a specific character I have to pick out.
If the code isn't indented properly, well, then, the alignment of
whatever you do vertically doesn't matter much, eh?
I prefer the opening brace at the end of the line as well. I rather see as
much of the code as possible. Wasting one line for an openning brace, and
not only function declarations but any opening brace, is a waste of screen
space. My eyes are no longer good enough to have microscopic screen
resolutions so within the resolution I use plus all the toolboxes, I still
want to be able to see a good chunk of the code.
For me, the visual consequence of an opening brace is the indentation of the
line following it. The brace by itself is just what tells the compiler to
start the statement block. The visual clue, for me, is the indentation,
something I am very strict about. The compiler cannot read indentations.
So, since the brace is for the benefit of the compiler, not mine, I don't
devote a whole line to it. Braces for the compiler, indentation for me.
And it is not that I don't like to waste space in general, I am generous
with my lines before the function declaration or any other place where I
feel it deserves it for clarity. In C I put one or more blank lines in
between the local variable declaration and the first executable, that is a
space that is worth for clarity sake. I would also put spaces before a
#ifdef or after a #endif, those are spaces that say something to me.
A brace on its own line doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks for your reply. Paul Novitski already "talked" with me about it
(in private), and my conclusions were...

I guess that has something to do with the way *I* read my mails, since
I'm usually aware what people are talking about (since I've wrote the
one they're responding, or I've been following the thread)
I think you have a pretty good reason, but I also think it doesn't work
for me --since I have to skip the whole message I've already read, or
what I wrote :) Thanks for your answer (and so fast)

I guess this is just one more of the too-many-already debatible points
out there. At the end, is a matter of taste, I can't see any as the
right nor wrong option.
PS I'd ask you a favor: do not include the email in the quotation, since
these message are usually available (via http) in some sites, and having
my email there makes a lot easier for me to get (even) more spam

But I'm totally serious here -- I made this decision in college circa
1981, and I wrote the same long program both ways, and hung the two
versions up on the wall side-by-side, and I liked the one with { on

I even solicited my non-programmer roommates' opinions, and they also
preferred the braces on the same line as ASCII art.
Well, that settles it -- if non-programmers like it, then it must be
correct. :-)
It reminds of a time where a large oil company's "Geophysicist" was
evaluating other consulting Geophysicist's work (I was one -- see
http://geophysics.com ). He took our work product (highly technical
seismic displays) and hung them on a wall and had everyone in the
office (accountants, secretaries, UPS delivery man, etc.) parade by
and pick the display they thought looked the best. To the winner, he
awarded a multimillion dollar contract!
It had to be the worst way to evaluate a Geophysicist I have ever witnessed.
-------
I daresay an experienced programmer is going to pick the style they
prefer as "prettier."
I don't know about prettier, but I certainly strive that every piece
of code I write to have a consistent style that I recognize as mine.
Plus, when I see another programmer use the same style, I naturally
assume that he's very intelligent. :-)
Additionally, the style I've developed cuts across several languages
I've known.
------
Though it would be an interesting experiment for some psychology
student to A/B compare with programmers, non-programmers, experienced
programmers, etc...
That may be an interesting study as to how we perceive and solve
problems -- anal-retentive vs the free-will types and all variations
in between. Each, I am sure, has their place in the overall scheme of
things.
But, I will pass on to the group here that I have noticed (over the
last 40 years ) in my programming that the size of my monitor is
generally in direct relationship with the size of my functions.
In addition, the larger my monitors, the more white space I use in
making my code "pretty" and documented. In my view, there is no
wasted space -- just a way to reduce my confusion.

A brace on its own line doesn't make sense to me.
Satyam
As the old lady said, as she kissed the cow "To each their own."
It make perfect sense to me to enclose all blocks of code within
braces on their own line AND to indent that entire segment, like so.
function, if, while, switch, whatever...
{
// code
}
But, like I said -- to each their own. The above just makes sense to
me and that's what this entire thread should be about -- do whatever
makes you comfortable and productive.
The last thing I would want is to have someone tell me what style I *must* use.

Actually, a compiler could use indentation, and, in fact, compilers
for some languages do just that.
[/pedantic]
That style of language definitely sucks, imho, but let's not get THAT

Drink with friends... that way you have someone to brace you when you're
fall down drunk.
Cheers,
Rob.
Poorstyle:
drunken(){
echo "Lopsided me;
}
Goodstyle:
drunken()
{
echo "Supported me";
}
But the question arises, in "goodstyle" - should one indent the braces?
I used to code "goodstyle", more and more it's "poorstyle" - nad the
computer doesn't care, and Ultraedit can match braces, which helps when I
get "lost". I wish UE would also fold code.
With tongue firmly in cheek - cheers - Miles

Hi people,
I have the following issue: I´m using PHP 5 on IIS 5 and Windows XP
Pro, and when trying to pass values through the path to my scripts,
iis rejects them. After some googling, I found an advice to set
AllowPathInfoForScriptMappings variable in iis, but it didn't work
either. Finally, I ended up with a solution i found somewhere else,
enabling cgi.fix_pathinfo in php.ini . The thing is, that when i
restart the server, it seems that php doesn't recognize such variable,
as it doesn't apper on phpinfo or ini_get() neither. That looks weird,
because in documentation is clearly stated that this variable is
available since PHP 4.3.0 .
What can I do to have that setting enabled?
seeing as it has the letters 'CGI' in the ini setting name would
make me think that it's a setting that is only relevant to the cgi
version of php - and I would wager that your probably running the ISS
php module instead - but you don't say which so I'm guessing.
for the rest refer to John Wells' post.
Thanks in advance,
Mariano Guadagnini.
Any ideas?
1 springs to mind: don't double post.

Not to mention that they CANNOT be correctly delimited, or you would
NOT be seeing that error message.
It's that simple.
You SHOULD have the apostrophes (or quotes) on non-numeric array indices.
PHP issues an E_NOTICE error message if you don't. You may have
suppressed that message, and chosen to ignore it, but that doesn't
"fix" the code.
After all, using the SAME mechanism of suppression, you can choose to
ignore ALL PHP errors, no matter how drastic. Surely you cannot claim
that ignoring an error that halts the script in the middle of
execution is somehow "correct"

One HAS to make assumptions about the code when you fail to post
sufficient information about the code to correctly answer your

Hello, 1st msg here so im excited what results i will get :)
Im a novice with php parsing and have been able to help myself quite well with
what ive needed with xml_parse_into_struct and then echoing the fixed variable
names but now im dealing with an xml document that is 1st quite large and 2nd
changing gradually over time with either added data or changed information.
(But not in large numbers)
http://www.camelotherald.com/xml/spells-si.xml
It is a spell listing for an online mmorpg. It has a "spell_list" that captures
all other tags and a "spell_line" for each spell line. Within each spell line
is a "spell" which has the detailed info for each spell with in the "spell_line"
I could parse this by echoing the fixed variables but due to its size and the
changes done over time its just to much work. This is why i come to a stop. Ive
read some guides and tried some example code that should help me through this.
What i hoped to get is an example with the xml i provided so i could work with
it to complete the project.
The example could look something like this:
Header with the selected "spell_line" name ie. "Calefaction" and below that the
spell info in some dummy table format. Then the next "spell_line" which is
"Path of Earth" then with the spell info in some dummy table setup.
Thanks for reading and i hope someone can show me the light of a real xml parse.

In an ideal world, you would examine other XML parsing options, such
as the PEAR library.
If, like me, the machine in question does not have, and is unlikely to
have, anything BUT the expat library in the near future, a pointer to
a function that uses expat and creates something less unwieldy than
the xml_parseintostruct would be most welcome... So let me know if
anybody responds off-list, please.
I'll be Googling for it Monday morning myself.

The comments on the Manual page
[http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php] contain an example class that
parses an XML file into an associative array. I'm using something
similar myself, as it seems to be a pretty straightforward way to get an
easy-to-use structure in PHP 4 without dom_xml, which isn't always
available.

I have been trying as i said above with the php.net examples, the
sitepoint examples (which have been great to give me some view of what i
need and how it functions basicly) but with no luck. I can make it easy
with fixed value but the dynamic part of it is still outside my reach
for now. Thanks for the examples Matt and Richard

Thanks,
But this example seems to be short and does the job :
<?php
$String='this is a "test expression" for search input';
$MyRegEx = '/"[^"]+"|[^"\s,]+/';
preg_match_all($MyRegEx, $String, $Tokens);
?>
Unless I'm missing something?

$input = 'this is a "test expression" for search input'; //remove duplicate
spaces:
$input = preg_replace('/\\s+/', ' ', $input); //ignore leading/trailing
blanks:
$input = trim($input);
$parts = explode('"', $input);
$terms = array();
$in_quotes = false;
foreach($parts as $expression){
$expression = trim($expression); //probably not needed...
if (strlen($expression)){
if (!$in_quotes){
//individual words:
$words = explode(' ', $expression);
$terms = array_merge($terms, $words);
}
else{
//in quotes, so this is a search term:
$terms[] = $expression;
}
}
$in_quotes = !$in_quotes;
}
var_dump($terms);
?>
Note that invalid input such as unbalanced quote marks will mess this up
big-time, probably...
But maybe that's just as well...

LOL It's interesting that you've taked your time and build that
'summation', maybe the only thing is missing is the code itself ;)
Now, because you didn't add it, I had to check the different versions,
and I agree with John Hicks, his suggestion seems to be the best one.

code below shows all records from products table with an textbox and an
order button for each record
<? $query1 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products ");
while ($rowType = mysql_fetch_array($query1))
{ ?>
<table width="500" border="0">
<tr class="largeheader">
<td width="40%"><? echo "$rowType[0]"; ?></a> </td>
<td width="10%"><?php echo "$rowType[1]"; ?></td>
<td width="10%"><input name="quantity" type="text" value="1" size="1"
maxlength="3"></td>
<td width="40%"> <a href="<? echo
"products.php?cat=$cat&toevoegen=1&id=$rowType[7]"; ?>"><img
src="images/bestel1.gif" border="0"></a></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
</table>
if someone presses the button, an item will be ordered.

It looks like you're trying to get at $quantity, but have you pulled
it from the submitted form yet? If your form's method is "post" then
reference the quantity value with $_POST['quantity']; if your form's
method is "get", use $_GET['quantity'].
You sound very new to this, and the fact that you're building a
shopping cart is worrisome...so please read up on the importance of
verifying your form data, i.e. always "sanitize" submitted values
before using them in SQL calls. And simply check that the values you
get are what you expect, i.e. if you're expecting a number in
$_POST['quantity'], make sure it's a number...
By the way, values submitted in a form will be strings, so in the
example above you'd actually be checking for the *existence of numbers
only* in the string. Good luck.
HTH,
John W

You probably are following some kind of tutorial that assumes
"register_globals" is "on" -- or you are simply used to that
environment.
So when you try to use $quantity, it's not defined.
The value you want is in $_REQUEST['quantity'];
You should do something like this:
<?php
//Get data from REQUEST:
$quantity = isset($_REQUEST['quantity']) ? $_REQUEST['quantity'] : 0;
//Force valid data:
$quantity = (int) $quantity;
//rest of script here.
?>

Funny you should say that -- it has happened to me. I have been
approached by several Indian companies over the years (for more than
just programming -- oil exploration, gems, etc.) .
However, considering the experiences I've had with Indians, I don't
mean to sound racist, but "I have found" there is a significant
difference between our cultures with respect to the meaning of "your
word" -- and as such, I will not do business with any Indian company
NOR with any company (domestic or overseas) that hires an Indian to
negotiate a contract!
"I have found" it is simply a waste of my time to try to find
profitable common ground. They are concerned with one thing, and one
thing only, and that is how cheap can they get it -- and they seldom
have a clue as to what "it" is -- but, contrary to their lip-service,
it certainly isn't quality.
I have seen them waste several million dollars to save less than ten
thousand (no lie). It was with an oil deal, not programming, and
these people were just plain stupid.

Whoa! "They" "they" "they"... Tedd, there are stupid, venal people
everywhere in the world, and smart and honorable ones
besides. Speaking from personal experience I know that there are
cultural divides so wide that what's honorable on one side appears
dishonorable from the other; truth appears as lies; respect appears
as disrespect; discretion as conspiracy; elegance as boorishness. To
judge individuals despite these fundamental differences and then to
paint an entire nation of people based on one's experiences with a
few seems lacking in sense, respect, rationality, and honor (speaking
from this side of your and my cultural divide!). You're free to form
your own prejudices based on your experiences, of course, but I'm
astonished that you would voice them publicly. I'm embarrassed by
your comments.

One more thing, make sure you validate ALL data that is being sent from
paypal to ensure what you need and expect are there....also validate the
transaction ID to ensure it was never used before.

Just found a good one.. it's a little more complicated than most
because it has the userlevel stuff included.. but gives you some
ideas.
http://www.evolt.org/article/PHP_Login_System_with_Admin_Features/17/60384/index.html
(Found a couple of bugs in it, but you get that)..
Basically you keep usernames/passwords in a database table, after
checking the details, store the login in the session and voila! done!
