Leo,
$letters = array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f');
$key = array_search('c', $letters);
you can also try
unset( $letters[$key] );
sumeet
$value = array_splice($letters, $key, 1);
$value[0] will contain 'c'
$letters will contain Array ( [0] => a [1] => b [2] => d [3] => e [4] =>
f )

Hi,
I wanted to search through the array and pop out the value which match
my search criteria. For example
If array has {a,b,c,d,e,f}
I wanna search for "c" and once I found it, took it out from the array.
So the result of the array after operation will be
{a,b,d,e,f}
If I do array_pop(); function it will only pop the last element inside
the array and the array will become
{a,b,c,d,e}
Anyway to search the desire element inside the array and took it out
from the array?

Leo

here is a 'solution', you may not understand it fully - in which case the manual
is your best friend - he has unlimited patience when explaining and he is a very
gifted teacher (he managed to knock this stuff into my thick skull ;-)
$haystack = range("a","f");
$needle = "c";
while (($key = array_search($needle, $haystack, true)) !== false)
unset($haystack[$key]);
$haystack = array_values($haystack);

No It Does Not. Reality is what becomes apparent when you you stop judging,
stop thinking and stop dreaming. That being so we're all sound asleep.

Hi all,
I got a problem with creating a multidimensional array which it's size is
unknown.
I already made it work like this (example):
<?php
$array = array('six','five','four','three','two','one');
for ($i = count($array)-1; $i >= 0; $i--) {
$array_keys_string_representation .= '["'.$array[$i].'"]';
}
eval('$new_array'.$array_keys_string_representation.'["node_title"] =
"string value";');
?>
The problem is that I don't like using eval() cause it's slow &
insecure.....
I want to do something like this (doesn't work):
<?php
$array = array('six','five','four','three','two','one');
for ($i = count($array)-1; $i >= 0; $i--) {
$array_keys_string_representation .= '["'.$array[$i].'"]';
}
$new_array.$array_keys_string_representation.'["node_title"] = "string
value";
?>
Anyone got any idea how can I build such an array without eval()?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Ben-Nes Yonatan
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
you can do this with a bit of reference magic...
<?php
$ref = null;
$keys = array("six","five","four","three","two","one");
$val = "string value"; // the node value
$arr = array(); // generated array
$ref =& $arr;
while ($key = array_pop($keys)) {
$ref[$key] = array();
$ref =& $ref[$key];
}
$ref = $val;
var_dump($arr);
?>
there might a cleaner/better way - if anyone can correct me I'd
be glad to learn :-)

Hi ...
I have the following;
$files = array();
$curimage=0;
if($handle = opendir($dirname)) {
while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
if(eregi($pattern, $file)){
$filedate=date ("M d, Y H:i:s",
filemtime($file));
if(substr($file,-5)=='t.jpg') {
echo 'leftrightslide[' . $curimage .']=\'<a
href="?file='.$file.'&c='.$cat.'"><img src="'.$dirname.'/'.$file.'"
style="border:1px solid #bb3621"></a>\';' . "\n";
}
$curimage++;
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
shuffle($files);
return($files);
now ... why does files not get shuffled?
Is that not the purpose of that function ?

1) Nowhere in that while loop do you add elements to the $files array.
2) Yes, that is what the shuffle function does, but it will have no
effect on an empty array.

$files is empty - nowhere in your while loop do you add any data to it.
My guess is your question is really 'Why are my images displayed in the same
order as the directory?'. This is because you're displaying them at the same
time as reading the dir. To randomise the order, add all the file names to
the $files array, shuffle($files) and then have a foreach loop to iterate
over $files and output the HTML to display them.

Ok ... previous problem sorted ... now onto the next ...
The client wants the following;
A scroll bar with 3 random thumbs from each subdirectory in the /images/
folder
I was thinking ...
Going into each folder, getting files, pushing into an array - shuffling
array, taking first three items and combine it to a "master" array and use
that ...
Good thinking? Better suggestions?
Kind Regards,

Okay, this doesn't have to do with PHP directly, but it does have to do
with this list. I'm using MS Outlook 2003. My company has an exchange
server, and the Evolution OWA client doesn't work well enough for all
the calendaring stuff I have to do. So, I was wondering if anyone else
out there has run into the problems I am having.
First, and foremost, Outlook doesn't thread messages very well. Are
there any plug-ins or options that can be set to get my PHP folder to
display a proper threaded view? I used to have this in Kmail, and I
desperately miss it.
Second is bottom posting. Is there any way to get Outlook to put my
reply at the bottom of the page? Again with the Kmail :-)
I've been looking for information on these for the past hour or so, but
my searching powers aren't working.... Damn kryptonite!
Thanks!

Ok, first of all this couldn't have less to do with PHP no matter how
you try to frame it. However, I do have some sympathy for your
situation, so for the sake of the archives here's a response...
1) Use Thunderbird for mailing lists. Outlook sucks for anything
non-enterprise.
2) I have this Gmail account purely for mailing lists. It forwards to an
IMAP mailbox and I then use Thunderbird from work, home and laptop to
access it. Works very well.
3) At work I am forced to use Outlook, so I use Outlook QuoteFix to,
erm, fix the quoting in Outlook...

Technically this is true. You can't do AJAX with PHP4. Or PHP5. Not the
"AJAX" part at least, since it's all handled in Javascript. What gets
returned to the AJAX app and what it interacts with on the web server can very
well be PHP of any flavor, or any other web app scripting language or even just
regular HTML I suppose.
I love statements like Bernhard's.

Hi
You can make AJAX Applications without XML (AJWOX). You can also make
Synchronous AJAX without using the XMLHttpRequest Object.
You can call it SJWOX (synchronous javascript without XML).
The thing I like is, that character encoding is correct if you use XML
for sending data to the server. Wrong encoded messages are not accepted.
To make your own XML parser is not at all easy.
Think about a simple message like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<text>Ü is not Ü</text>
(Parser must report an error)

How does that prove it is difficult? XML parser is easy, tedious, but
easy.

Hello
I have a soap call that returns something like;
Result from a print_r();
stdClass Object ( [getCategoryTreeReturn] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object
( [iId] => 1 [sName] => Cars & Motorbikes [iParentId] => 0 [iTreeCount] =>
114302 [iLocalCount] => 0 [aSubCats] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object (
[iId] => 2 [sName] => Car Electronics [iParentId] => 1 [iTreeCount] => 0
[iLocalCount] => 0 ) [1] => stdClass Object ( [iId] => 5 [sName] => Car
Accessories [iParentId] => 1 [iTreeCount] => 57160 [iLocalCount] => 57142 )
[2] => stdClass Object ( [iId] => 16 [sName] => Motorcycles [iParentId] => 1
[iTreeCount] => 11 [iLocalCount] => 0 )
I need to convert that to a multidimensional array to link ID's to Parent
ID's. I have created a function which recursively scans the result variable.
It writes the rows to a temporary file for later fetching, but it is
somewhat slow. Can i maintain those recursive seek to an array. As function
is being called inside and inside, i can not return a proper value. Is there
any way to maintain those rows without writing to tmp.
The function is :
--- BEGIN ---
function deepseek($val) {
foreach ($val as $key => $value) {
if (is_object($value)) {
$newarr = get_object_vars($newarr);
foreach ($newarr as $key2 => $value2) {
deepseek($value2);
}
}
if (is_array($value)) {
foreach ($value as $key2 => $value2) {
deepseek($value2);
}
}
if (!is_array($value) AND !is_object($value)) {
if ($key == "iParentId" OR $key == "sName" OR $key == "iId") {
$output .= "$value-";
}
if ($key == "iTreeCount") {
$handle = fopen("tmp/tmp","a");
fwrite($handle,$output."\n");
fclose($handle);
unset($output);
}
}
}
}

Hi again,
Just wandering if someone could help me on this one- I'm quite anxious
to get something together. As I said in the last email I just want to
use ob_start("ob_gzhandler") but it doesn't seem to work with the error
function. I think it might be something to do with not being allowed
within a 'callback function'- well that's what it says on the php
manual. The thing is I'm not sure what that means, I find that section
not particularly clear. Please can someone help!

Hi,
I include a php file at the beginning of every web page in this site.
This include file has an error handling function and starts output
buffering...
// Start of Error Handler

// Do error logging thang
ob_end_clean();// Clear buffer

set_error_handler('ErrHandler');
// End of Error Handler
It works great and the error handler kicks in if there is an error on
the page and outputs a friendly page instead. I really wanted to gzip
the pages by using ob_start("ob_gzhandler") but it doesn't work. I think
it is because of the error handler function trying to clear the buffer
(see the line ob_end_clean() which I assume becomes
ob_end_clean("ob_gzhandler") ). It says on the php functions page-
*ob_start()* may not be called from a callback function. If you call
them from callback function, the behavior is undefined. If you would
like to delete the contents of a buffer, return "" (a null string) from
callback function.
As I am new to this- I don't really understand what it is trying to get
at. Is there a way of me using my error handler and evoking the
ob_start("ob_gzhandler") ?
Thanks.

I don't use this stuff myself, but it looks like the second half

I have found the solution to the Statdaus Download Center Lite or the
config.dat.php file people have been talking about.
If you want to know what the config file is doing create a php file and put
it in the main directory:
<?php
$script_root =
'download_center_lite/'; //or where ever
installed
$dlcl =
@file($script_root . 'inc/config.dat.php');
$tplt = 'dlcl';
unset($dlcl[0]);
$dlcl = @array_values($dlcl);
$str = '';
$conf_var = '';
for ($n = 0; $n < count(${$tplt}); $n++)
{
$c_var = '';
for ($o = 7; $o >= 0 ; $o--)
{
$c_var += ${$tplt}[$n][$o] * pow(2, $o);
}
$img_var = sprintf("%c", $c_var);
if ($img_var == ' ') {
$conf_var .= sprintf("%c", $str);
$str = '';
} else {
$str .= $img_var;
}
}
print "$conf_var ";
?>
Then just go to this php page via browser and you will see what the config
script is writing. Problem solved.

I'm wondering why this is.
$data = "";
$array = explode(",",$data);
$count = count($array);
$count will = 1
$data = "Test";
$array = explode(",",$data);
$count = count($array);
$count will = 1
$data = "Test,Test";
$array = explode(",",$data);
$count = count($array);
$count will = 2
Why doesn't the first one give me an answer of 0 instead of 1. I know
I could do a IF $data == "[empty]" and then not count if its empty
and just set it to 0, but am wondering if there was a better way.
