A neat thing with pairing every <?php with a ?> when mixed in HTML is
that these are valid XML processing instructions. If your HTML
satisfies XML well-formedness, your PHP document will also be valid
XML. Not that I've ever had any need to process my layout templates
as XML but anyway.
I don't see your argument. PHP generates HTML or XML files. When
you're aware of the XML tag of course you make sure the XML file
generated is valid. Why would you ever add PHP code to a HTML file
(other than for documentation, examples etc.)?
It's not much of an argument, just an observation. And the conclusions
are disappointing anyway.
Certainly, if your script is designed to create XML, you'll make sure
that output is valid when executed by PHP. But it is interesting to note
that your PHP script file itself might qualify as valid XML under
certain circumstances, in which case you could process it with an XML
processor. This would let you modify the XML and still keep the PHP part
of the file intact.
I haven't seen a live example that might benefit from this, but I still
find it interesting.
The conditions that would need to be met, are that the content outside
the <? and ?> processing instructions must be well-formed XML, and there
are places where the processing instructions aren't expected in XML.
This is well-formed XML (and valid PHP):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?php $var = 'dynamic'; ?>
<root attr="static">
<?php echo "$var content from PHP\n"; ?>
</root>
<?php //processing instructions can also be located after the XML content ?>
This is not well-formed XML (processing instruction within a tag). Note
however that the output from PHP would be valid XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?php $var = 'dynamic'; ?>
<root <?php echo "attr=\"$var\""; ?>>
<?php echo "$var content from PHP\n"; ?>
</root>
Neither is this (processing instruction within an attribute):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?php $var = 'dynamic'; ?>
<root attr="<?php echo $var; ?>">
<?php echo "$var content from PHP\n"; ?>
</root>
And neither is this (missing opening tag for the "root" element):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?php $var = 'dynamic'; ?>
<?php echo "<root attr=\"$var\">\n"; ?>
<?php echo "$var content from PHP\n"; ?>
</root>
A simple way to test this would be to use this:
$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement('the_file.php', null, true);
echo $sxe->asXML()."\n";
The inability to insert dynamic content into attributes without breaking
the XML (ideas anyone?) does limit the usefulness of this technique, so
I guess it will just remain a curiosity.
Cheers,
Mattias

could be right? that implies you don't know and didn't bother to test it.
I'd postulate that is sloppy. In another post you mention your reliance on
your favorite editor - relying blindly on your editor to 'do the right thing'
could also be considered sloppy (no tool is perfect all of the time).
pretty much every php dev has run into the issue of header() calls failing
due to whitespace, it's almost a rite of passage - I'd only call it a mistake
if you don't bother to test your code to the extent that you actually get into
a situation that you put something so obviously broken into a production env.
you mention that you guess as to whether you made the mistake in question,
obviously
a an off the cuff remark and no worth tripping over in it's own right but it
does
raise an interest point, namely that only sloppy devs are satified with guess
work,
diligent devs either know or they don't and when they don't they take the time
to
research and test until they feel confident to say that they do know - rather
esoteric,
probably not very pragmatic, but there you have it nonetheless.
you offer to different pieces of pseudo-code and call them 'the same shit when
you
look at it' - again there's an argument to say that's sloppy (in terms of
reading code)
considering they are not identical in source nor resultant output.
... same shit, different day ... or to put it another way, be very careful what
you
post on a techie mailing list - you never know when some pendantic SOB is going
to
rip you another 'one' in reply ;-).

Actually what it looks like you want are the URLs, not the HTML. This
regular expression will match them up for you:
https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?

Hi,
If you simply wants to remove all tags from the string, try using the
strip_tags function (http://php.net/strip_tags).

Hello Ashley,
rsync looks like the right tool i need to use.
But i need much MORE information about it.
You have an idea where i can find a news group like this for rsync?

Hi All, Ash, Angelo,
Any ideas how to send an email in PHP on windows platform/xp on local
development machine.
System Configuration
PHP 5.2
Apache 2
No ISS
NO SMTP
Any trusted SMTP software to install on local development machine and how to
set it up with php to send an email?
Also just providing the SMTP server details in php.ini will not work for me
as this requires authentication/credentials etc..
Thanks,

NO SMTP
Any trusted SMTP software to install on local development machine and how to
set it up with php to send an email?
Also just providing the SMTP server details in php.ini will not work for me
as this requires authentication/credentials etc..
Get PHPmailer and make a gmail account that you connect to and mail through.

You can install any smtp server on your windows machine and the mail() will
work with default settings. You can check this out:

You only need a local SMTP server if you want to hold and relay mail.
If you want to send mail directly to the recipients SMTP server you
can do that with standard PHP.
getmxrr() is your friend here.
You provide it with the domain of the recipient and you get back the
SMTP server(s) associated with that domain.
Now, you can send the message to THEIR smtp server ...
ini_set('SMTP', xxxx);
where xxxx is one of the servers returned from getmxrr().
No authentication required.

Hi Richard, The problem is that if I am using any open source software or
any other pre-built software then I will not be able to manage through
ini_set.
Also http://www.softstack.com/freesmtp.html which vikash mentioned works
through outlook settings.
Anyways the below will help-

There are a variety of starting points available, depending on the
environment and application. See the Computer section of
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_%28reference_date%29> for a brief
review.

Time zones. If I have PHP spit out a date for "0" as a string on my
system,
it comes back as 18:00 on December 31st, 1969, because I am in the
Central
time zone.

How do I call PHP code that will run server side, from javascript code
that is running client side?
I have a lot of PHP server side code written and working within
CodeIgniter. Now, my project
has changed and (for reasons unimportant to this discussion) we are now
NOT going to
use apache and CodeIgniter, but instead, we are going to have to use an
http server that does
not support PHP internally. But I want to reuse my original PHP code.
So I am thinking that I
can execute the PHP code via a command line interface using the PHP cli
interface instead of
the PHP cgi interface. But, I will have to initiate this serversid call
via javascript code running
on the client.
I know...kind of convoluted. But how would one do this if necessary?
