Sorry, didn't pay attention to the registered streams :-(
You need to install a PHP package with ssl or compile it with
--with-openssl.

Hello,
I would like to know how to correctly use DateInterval::format(). The
documentation is unclear.
Also, I am willing to write some documentation for the DateInterval and
DatePeriod if no one has taken the task.
Thanks for the help.

Sounds great Mike.
I personally would also like to see standard date/time functions (strtotime,
strftime, date, etc) support dates greater than 2038. I think this can be done
internally by parsing the datetime value swith the DateInterval object and
retuning the results to the standard functions.
Best regards,

Here is something i'd like to point out with DateInterval.
$dInt = 'PT4320S';
$d = new DateInterval($dInt);
var_dump($d);
$dz = new DateTimeZone(UTC);
$dt = new DateTime('now',$dz);
$dt->add($d);
var_dump($dt->format(DATE_ATOM));
It appears that running this code fails when it seems like it should work.
$dInt = 'PT43200S';
$d = new DateInterval($dInt);
var_dump($d);
$dz = new DateTimeZone(UTC);
$dt = new DateTime('now',$dz);
$dt->add($d);
var_dump($dt->format(DATE_ATOM));
Please note the first value in $dInt should be 72 minutes, while the
later should be 720 minutes or half of a day
The PT12H interval seems to work fine.
$dInt = 'PT12H';
$d = new DateInterval($dInt);
var_dump($d);
$dz = new DateTimeZone(UTC);
$dt = new DateTime('now',$dz);
$dt->add($d);
var_dump($dt->format(DATE_ATOM));
Raymond, have you tried using DateTime::modify? It appears to work like
strtotime.
also DateTime::format works like date. At least as far as I can tell.

From the little documentation that I've seen it appears that it's similar to
strtotime and date but it would be very good if the PHP devs could make
strtotime() and date() become wrappers for DateTime::modify and
DateTime::format. This way we dont hae to modify our code when moving to a
version of PHP that supports the new DateTime class.

Hello,
Every so often I have to be using the isset() function to check if a variable
exists. It would be useful to have something like an ifset() function
Instead of doing this
$v = isset($input) ? $input : $default;
we can do this
$v = ifset($input,$default);
// returns $input if it exists otherwise it will return $default
We could also do the same for the empty() function. So instead of doing this
$v = empty($input) ? $default : $input;
we can do this
$v = ifempty($input,$default);
// returns $input if it is not empty otherwise it will return $default
What do you think? Can they make it into 5.3?
Best regards

To be honest, I don't see the compelling need for this.
I don't disagree that the functionality is nice, however I quite like
the verbose versions as they are clearer to understand without knowing
an API function.
Also, most of the cases that you would use these functions are with
input from GET args and the like. Most frameworks provides wrappers for
this with handy ways to get the defaults etc.
So overall, I can't see this becoming a core PHP feature.

Hi,
I am trying to add a prefix to all of the entries in a zip file using
the ZipArchive::renameIndex function which is corrupting the files
when I try to extract them. I was wondering if anyone else has used
this method successfully? Here is the code im using:
$client='TEST';
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if ($zip->open($targetpath,ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE)===true)
{
// prefix all of the files with the clients name
for($i = 0; $i < $zip->numFiles; $i++)
{
$zip->renameIndex($i,$client.$zip->getNameIndex($i));
}
if (!$zip->close()) echo 'Failed to rename zip';
}else echo'Failed to open zip';
This renames the files inside the zip but when I try and extract them
the zip is corrupt.

Another way ...
<?php
define ('OPTION_NONE', 0);
define ('OPTION_ALL', -1);
// Options are defined with the value of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.
define ('OPTION_1', 1);
define ('OPTION_2', 2);
define ('OPTION_3', 4);
function foo($i_Options = OPTION_NONE)
{
if ($i_Options & OPTION_1) { echo 'Option 1 chosen', PHP_EOL; } //
Note single &
if ($i_Options & OPTION_2) { echo 'Option 2 chosen', PHP_EOL; } //
Note single &
if ($i_Options & OPTION_3) { echo 'Option 3 chosen', PHP_EOL; } //
Note single &
}
foo();
foo(OPTION_ALL);
foo(OPTION_1 | OPTION_3);
?>
outputs ...
Option 1 chosen
Option 2 chosen
Option 3 chosen
Option 1 chosen
Option 3 chosen

Hi all,
I have the following XML returned to us.
<Response ResponseReference="REF_657-17000-305754723972091">
<ResponseDetails Language="en">
<SearchChargeConditionsResponse>
<ChargeConditions>
<ChargeCondition Type="cancellation">
<Condition Charge="true" FromDay="0"
ToDay="0" Currency="ZAR"
ChargeAmount="320.00"/>
<Condition Charge="false" FromDay="1"/>
</ChargeCondition>
<ChargeCondition Type="amendment"
MaximumPossibleChargesShown="true">
<Condition Charge="false" FromDay="0"/>
</ChargeCondition>
<PassengerNameChange Allowable="true"/>
</ChargeConditions>
</SearchChargeConditionsResponse>
</ResponseDetails>
</Response>
We need to get the values of the FromDay, ToDay and ChargeAmount from the
following sub elements:
<Condition Charge="true" FromDay="0" ToDay="0" Currency="ZAR"
ChargeAmount="320.00"/>
<Condition Charge="false" FromDay="1"/>
I hve the following code: But I am not able to get the second element's
details: (Charge: false, FromDay: 1)
$Elements = $xpath->query(
'ResponseDetails/SearchChargeConditionsResponse/ChargeConditions/ChargeCondition/',
$responseElement );
foreach( $Elements as $Element )
{
$itemStatus =
$xpath->query('Condition/Charge' , $Element);
$FromDay2 =
$xpath->query('Condition/FromDay' , $Element);
$condition =
trim($itemStatus->item(0)->textContent);
echo "<br /><br />CONDITION: #" .
$condition."#";
$FromDay =
trim($FromDay2->item(0)->textContent);
echo " FromDay: " . $FromDay;
if ($condition =="true")
{
$ChargeAmount2 =
$xpath->query('Condition/@ChargeAmount' , $Element);
$ChargeAmount =
trim($ChargeAmount2->item(0)->textContent);
echo " CHARGE AMT: " .
$ChargeAmount;
$ToDay =
$xpath->query('Condition/@ToDay' , $Element);
$ToDay =
trim($ToDay->item(0)->textContent);
echo " ToDay: " . $ToDay;
}
else if($condition =="false")
{
$FromDay2 =
$xpath->query('Condition/@FromDay' , $Element);
$FromDay =
trim($FromDay2->item(0)->textContent);
echo " FromDay: " . $FromDay;
}
}
It apprears that I need to add a further loop through the "ChargeCondition"
elements, IE
change
$Elements = $xpath->query(
'ResponseDetails/SearchChargeConditionsResponse/ChargeConditions/ChargeCondition/',
$responseElement );
to
$Elements = $xpath->query(
'ResponseDetails/SearchChargeConditionsResponse/ChargeConditions/',
$responseElement );
Then I can test the type if its "cancellation" and loop through the
subelements (Condition)
Would this appear to be correct?
Anything else that would appear to be incorrect from the above code for the
accompanying structure?
thanks
angelo

The only data you need from table product is the column prod_cat0, from
table categories it's category, so you should read only the needed data
instead of using * for better performance.
Take the SQL and verify if it returns what you want it to return then.

I have a script that is a result of data entered in a form
On the script (when I test without data entry), I am getting a warning that
Warning: Division by zero in .inc.php on line 15.
The warning is correct, however the viewer cannot access the second script
without entering the data that would cancel the warning.
Is this something I should worry about? or would it be better to right in an
isset?
I'm sorry if this does not seem clear.
