Hi,
Would someone be kind enough to test whether these following functions work?
I'm getting: "PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function easter_date() . . .

Thanks Chris.
Seems like the function is a dud. I have '-enable-calendar' working on both
local and production. Sigh . .
I have been using another modified 'easter' function, 'pFeast', (can't for the
life of me find it on the net now). It works well, but I need to set the
output to a variable, so I can use it for other purposes. But that's another
prob . . .

Andree

Well, I'm not sure why you don't have the function, but if you scroll to
the bottom of http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.easter-date.php:
if(!function_exists('easter_date')) {
function easter_date ($Year)
{
/*
G is the Golden Number-1
H is 23-Epact (modulo 30)
I is the number of days from 21 March to the Paschal full moon
J is the weekday for the Paschal full moon (0=Sunday,
1=Monday, etc.)
L is the number of days from 21 March to the Sunday on or before
the Paschal full moon (a number between -6 and 28)
*/
$G = $Year % 19;
$C = (int)($Year / 100);
$H = (int)($C - (int)($C / 4) - (int)((8*$C+13) / 25) + 19*$G +
15) % 30;
$I = (int)$H - (int)($H / 28)*(1 - (int)($H / 28)*(int)(29 /
($H +
1))*((int)(21 - $G) / 11));
$J = ($Year + (int)($Year/4) + $I + 2 - $C + (int)($C/4)) % 7;
$L = $I - $J;
$m = 3 + (int)(($L + 40) / 44);
$d = $L + 28 - 31 * ((int)($m / 4));
$y = $Year;
$E = mktime(0,0,0, $m, $d, $y);
return $E;
}

Dear all, it's done.
Can I call your help for the remain issues please, I'm sure they are easy to
explain, and at some extend, common:
http://pastebin.com/m691d3e66
Instead of saving to the database, if I do a print_r or a var_dump, I get
the charsets quite ok.
However, they do not appear properly in the xls file.
I've tried to use utf8_encode but I was not sure where to apply it, and I
end up with the same strange chars on the .xls file.
If I write a <meta tag containing charset information on the script that
generates the file, I get headers already send message.
I've tried to add Content-type: application/x-msdownload; *charset=UTF-8;*
but no success either...
Would a proper use of utf8_encode solve this? If so, where?
Thanks in advance,
M.

Done.
print utf8_decode($xls_file);

And brand new world opens in from of my eyes... O.O.
I will search more info on this on the net... just for the records, as
properties names is concern, I couldn't find any better I suppose:
http://pt.php.net/manual/en/reflectionproperty.getname.php
I'm just wondering, we call it like this?
$property = new ReflectionProperty($myproperty);
$proptertyName = $property->getName();
Can we called statically like this?
$propertyName = ReflectionProperty::getName($myproperty); -> this would
be nice. :)
The documentation is a little bit lacking, and I'm a little bit newbie, is
this correct?
Note:
The array_keys as a possibility to retrieve ALL keys from a given array. It
would be nice to retrieve ALL properties names at once as well...
:)

Thanks Shawn!
Actually, I've given up on the PHP function, and managed to extract the info I
need from 'pFeast' class. This class uses the same code as above but with
some major enhancements.
A little bit more work on the code, and it'll be accomplishing what I need.
Thanks for your suggestion!

Andre

We have a US postal database called ZP4 that we that we use to scrub
client addresses into something useful. For future projects we need to
expand on this scrubbing so that we can view counties and such. The
scrubbing is currently being performed by a custom application a
former employee wrote for us while he still worked here.
Unfortunately, he didn't commit the source of that application into
our SVN repository (bad). Sadly, I don't have C/C++ creation skills
worth relying upon.
What I found in ZP4 is a COM wrapper for the ZP4 DLL. From the
examples it should be simple to implement what I want, and this VB
code does work fine:
--- begin ---
Set ZP4 = CreateObject("zp4ipcom.zp4com")
ZP4.reset
ZP4.input "Address", "2401 Utah avenue south"
ZP4.input "City", "seattle"
ZP4.input "State", "wa"
ZP4.input "ZIP", "98134"
ZP4.correct
WScript.Echo ZP4.output("Error code")
WScript.Echo ZP4.output("Address (final)")
WScript.Echo ZP4.output("City (final)")
WScript.Echo ZP4.output("State (final)")
WScript.Echo ZP4.output("ZIP (five-digit)")
WScript.Echo ZP4.output("County name")
--- end ---
However, when I implement this code in PHP using COM all I get are errors:
<?php
try
{
$zp4 = new com( 'zp4ipcom.zp4com' );
$zp4->reset();
$zp4->input( 'Address', '2401 Utah avenue south' );
$zp4->input( 'City', 'seattle' );
$zp4->input( 'State', 'wa' );
$zp4->input( 'ZIP', '98134' );
$zp4->correct();
echo( $zp4->output( 'Error code' ) . "\n" );
echo( $zp4->output( 'Address (final)' ) . "\n" );
echo( $zp4->output( 'City (final)' ) . "\n" );
echo( $zp4->output( 'State (final)' ) . "\n" );
echo( $zp4->output( 'ZIP (five-digit)' ) . "\n" );
echo( $zp4->output( 'County name' ) . "\n" );
}
catch( exception $e )
{
echo( $e . "\n" );
}
?>
Results:
exception 'com_exception' with message 'Error [0x80020003] Member not found.
' in C:\Documents and Settings\adamr\Desktop\zp4.com.php:7
Stack trace:
#0 C:\Documents and Settings\adamr\Desktop\zp4.com.php(7): com->reset()
#1 {main}
I've tried everything I could think to get the above to work. If I
specify a member that I know is not in the ZP4 DLL I get a different
error. The "Member not found" error always seems to line up with the
procedures/functions defined in the ZP4IPCOM source.
ZP4 is a Windows only application. My development machine is running
PHP 5.2.6. I've done other COM related code with Word without any
troubles. I'm guessing that maybe the ZP4IPCOM interface itself is not
complete enough for PHP, or there is some bug that I'm missing. The
source for the ZP4IPCOM is provided with the ZP4 disk, but it's all in
Pascal and I'm not sure hot to either tweak or rebuild that (my VS
2005 doesn't seem to think much of it :)
While I could go with a VB solution for doing the address scrubbing, I
had wanted to set it up in PHP so that I could open one COM connection
to the DLL, and then via database burn through a large number of
addresses. If I had the skills I'd also rather just create an
extension for PHP itself that is a wrapper for the ZP4 DLL. If someone
is interested in building that for my company on commission I'd love
to discuss that with you.
If anyone wants to help me with this I'd greatly appreciate it.
Regards,
Adam.
