I'm not sure you are going about this the right way. It's my impression
that you may not yet have learned the basics of XML. Really, the very
basics are quite simple. For your address book, for instance, you could
create a simple XML structure such as this:
<ENTRY>
<FIRST_NAME></FIRST_NAME>
<LAST_NAME></LAST_NAME>
<ADDRESS_1></ADDRESS_1>
<ADDRESS_2></ADDRESS_2>
<STATE></STATE>
<COUNTRY></COUNTRY>
<POSTAL_CODE></POSTAL_CODE>
<PHONE_NUMBER></PHONE_NUMBER>
<FAX></FAX>
<ADDITIONAL></ADDITIONAL>
</ENTRY>
Then write a script which fills in the data.
1. Start out with the document root:
echo "<ENTRY>";
2. Fill in the data:
echo "<FIRST_NAME>$first_name</FIRST_NAME>";
echo "<FIRST_NAME>$last_name</FIRST_NAME>";
And so forth.
3. Finish off with the document root:
echo "</ENTRY>";
You can include the XML header once at the top of your file:
<?xml version="1.0">
You don't need a special class or set of third-party functions to do a
simple task like this. You can easily write your own, and it will parse
with any XML parser.

Dear All
I am novice in PHP & XML, while trying I am creating a small application
i.e. Address Book.
In this I am using Apache2, PHP5 and XML no database is used. I have FC5
machines. but I am unable to store the files in XML. If any one
share their
experience in this by providing Examples or tutorials etc...
So far I have found tutorial related to porting the information
of data from
MySQL to XML and then php with help of DOM.
Thanks

You could just slap the whole address book into a single file with:
http://php.net/file_put_contents
http://php.net/file_get_contents
This, however, will get unwieldy for more than a few hundred addresses...
To "fix" that, you're going to have to basically re-implement a bunch
of functionality that is pretty much the nuts and bolts of a database,
so I'd suggest that maybe your inexperience is causing you to make a
Bad Choice for how to go about making an address book in the first
place. :-)
Note that you could also store it all in a database, and then provide
an XML output for, say, RSS or other portable reasons. And while it's
"more" work, the extra effort of the DB will actually be LESS work
than Doing It Right with just the raw file system access you propose.

PHP List,
I have a class called "Session", which creates an object stored in the
$_SESSION variable. That object in turn holds on to a "User" object
which keeps track of the activity of the individual user who has logged
in and is using the web site. Then the $user object in turn holds on to
an "Article" object, which keeps information about web content that the
user is editing, previewing, and viewing.
The problem is that the "article" object keeps getting lost as the user
clicks from page to page.
I'm hoping someone can explain to me why this might be happening.
As far as I can understand it, an object is basically just an array, and
an object that "owns" an object as a member variable is just like
storing an array in an array. I can't see any reason why there would be
any limit to how many levels one could go down.
So I'm assuming there's no restriction on how many levels of objects
owning objects there can be.
As for the code itself, I hope I don't strip out any key details, as
it's all spread out across many classes. But here's what the basics of
it look like:
In the User class, I have this method:
public function setCurrentArticle($currentArticle)
{
$this->currentArticle = $currentArticle;
}
In the Article class I have this line:
Session::getSession()->getUser()->setCurrentArticle($this);
In the Session class I have:
private static $session;
private $user;
public function __construct()
{
$this->user = new User();
}
public function getUser()
{
return $this->user;
}
public static function getSession()
{
if (!isset($_SESSION['session']))
{
$_SESSION['session'] = new Session();
}
return $_SESSION['session'];
}
I may have missed a detail in trying to keep this brief and readable. If
so, please let me know and I will try to provide it.
Thank you for any advice.

well you can run out of memory - but what you describe should not be a
problem...
and it's not recursive either, it's merely some 'nesting' of objects.
are you loading the Session, User and Article classes BEFORE you start the
session?

seesm to me you might as well not use an instance of the Session
class and just use it statically (i.e. creating the Session object
just seems to be overhead as afar as I can tell) e.g.
class Session
{
static function getUser()
{
if (!$_SESSION['user'] instanceof User)
throw new Exception('There is no Spoon.');
return $_SESSION['user'];
}
/* bla */
}
Session::getUser()->setCurrentArticle($this);

echo(), var_dump(), print_r() - keep sticking in them in your code
till you spot when/where the article object goes missing.

Hi,
are you sure you did not forget a include of the Article source code ?
You need all sources codes aiavlable (included) when getting the object back
from the session.

In my index.php file of my system i have got just one php tag in which it
starts a smarty object, make a lot of includes of templates and use
$smarty->display("index.tpl") to show the result.
Until i know, smarty do not send any data to browser before display method,
but, in some cases i must do header(location: sompage.php") and it gives the
follow error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output

Nitpick:
header("Location: ...");
is supposed to have an "absolute URI", i.e., a full URL with http://

To anybody else stuck on a similar problem, the error message requires
a bit of re-reading to pull it all out into sense, but literally
EVERYTHING you need to work out what went wrong is in this error

Hi,
First, sorry for my bad english ;)
I'm looking for a simple way to provide query with two table like this :
SELECT t1.idperson, t1.lastname FROM table1 t1, table2 t2 WHERE
t1.idperson=t2.idperson AND t1.idperson=2
I try with joinAdd and selectAs but its always complexe query like :
SELECT t1.idperson, t1.lastname FROM table1 t1 INNER JOIN table2 t2 ect...
I can't use query() method because I need to use find() method after
(orderBy, Pager, limit ect...)
Any solution ?
Thanks !

I'm not quite sure what DB_DataObject is, or where it comes from...
But wherever that software came from, there is probably a better
list/forum/space to ask this, if nobody here answers.

The "bool secure" part of that means you can set your cookie
parameters such that your cookies are sent/received only over SSL
connections. Only available since PHP 4.0.4

I have a daemon class which reads and answers using socket_read and
socket_write functions. The things is that I connect to the daemon,
sent a chain and the I get an answer, but after that the daemon get's
struck in the next socket_read.
The problem appears to be here (a method from my class). I put the 2 echos
for debugging purposses:
function socketRead(){
echo "Vamos a leer nomas!\n";
$lectura = socket_read($this->conexion, 2048, PHP_NORMAL_READ);
echo $lectura;
return $lectura;
}
In th output from the socket daemon I get the 2 strings (generated by
the 2 echos), after that I get again the first echo, but no matter how
I try to send a new string to the socket, it just stays there reading
from the socket.
By the way $this->conexion is a socket resource from socket_accept. Also
the socket reads and answers one time, so it is working, but after that
first answer it stays reading. All this I'm testing from the console using
a telnet to the socket.

Have you set:

It seems to me that if you don't, you are going to wait for 2048
bytes, no matter how little/much data is there...

This header is a bogus MS made-up header that "extends" the HTTP spec,
and will not work for anything but IE, and only kinda sorta works on
IE anyway...
Well, IE itself only kinda sorta works, but that's another topic or
twenty. :-)
Here is a rather long-winded rant on this very topic:

You may be able to find a short and more concise version elsewhere.
OTOH, you may find the rant entertaining, as some have.

Also note that if the INPUT TYPE="image" has a NAME="foo" attribute,
the parameters change to:
foo.x=72&foo.y=13
PHP does not allow '.' in variable names, so for historic reasons
dating back to the dark ages of register_globals being "on", PHP
converts foo.x into foo_x and foo.y into foo_y, in all of
$_GET/$_POST/$_REQUEST.
And I would suspect PHP would do that in $_COOKIE as well, if you
manage to set/construct such a cookie in the first place; But I've
never tried that so don't know.

Just get them all to use Windows and IE and enable ActiveX, and you're
all set. :-v
More seriously, though, you would need to explain what the program is,
what it does, how it works, etc to get a concrete answer on the
appropriate way to REALLY do this.
As it stands in the bare-bones question you've posted, the answer is:
Provide a link to an .exe file, and tell the user to run it.
Either they trust you and do that, or they don't.

It sure seems suspicious to me.
Not that I can ever keep straight all those different font packages,
but maybe you need that "other other" TTF library font format instead
of times.ttf to be installed on the non-working machine...
The only other thing would be to double-check that PHP actually can
find and read the full path to your times.ttf file, to be SURE it's
not paths/permissions getting you.
Oooooh. Also try to compare any FreeType configuration files on both
machines. I seem to recall there was some kind of config file... No,
that was the pdflib.upr file I was thinking of... Still, any kind of
test/configuration check you can run on the font installations may
help.
