If you go home or to Starbucks can you get to http://XX.XX.XX.XXX:8080 ?
If not, then the external server can't either. It could be a network
firewall/proxy sever in your office, or any number of things.

I have connected to a clients computer that is remote from our office and I
am able to get to http://XX.XX.XX.XXX:8080. I probably should have mentioned
that when I try to get the webservice outside of the PHP site I am developing
I can get into that just fine. It is just when I try to use the PHP SOAP
client to access the webservice that I am getting the issue.

Well, i've thought of a few ways to allow localized overriding of
values returned by functions in case of an error.
I have yet to figure out what the exact advantages are of this
code-standard, but the overhead seems acceptable and i recon this,
when done, will beat the "trigger_error()-try-catch" paradigm.
I'd like to hear your comments.
// imo unsafe & prone to fatalities:
$r = funcA ( funcB ( funcC ($p) ), funcD ($q) );
// "safe"; make all notices, warnings and errors from any level
// in the call-chain fully visible, identifiable, and "survivable/fudgeable"
// by code at (all) higher levels in the call-chain.
// [disclaimer] the code below here doesn't pass 3rd-level (funcC())
// (meta-)results back to the first level (funcA()) yet, but this code
// is a start towards that;
$r = funcA (defaults(array(0=>'[funcB failed]',1=>'funcD failed'))),
funcB (defaults($onError_cCallvalue),
funcC (defaults($onError_pValue), $p)
),
funcD (defaults($onError_qValue), $q)
);
function funcA ($defaults, $returnedByFuncB, $returnedByFuncD) {
$returnedByFuncB = workWith ($defaults, $returnedByFuncB, 0);
$returnedByFuncD = workWith ($defaults, $returnedByFuncD, 1);
//all parameters (with idx>0) are meta-arrays containing the
"parameter-value" and all meta-info.
// workWith() always returns the actual parameter-value in
$p['workValue'];
//if any parameter $p (with idx>0) is not a meta-array,
// workWith($d, $r, $n) turns it into a meta array(
// 'workValue' => $p
// );
//if a param is a meta-array $p, and it contains an ['errors'] subarray,
// workWith() sets by-reference $p['workValue'] to one of these
(order of trying):
// $defaults['onError'][$n] (localized override)
// $p['onErrorDefault'], (functions own default value for
when an
error occurs)
//first call to workWith(,,0) will call beginErrorContext()
//beginErrorContext() will increase a global idx $callID (int),
// used to list all notices, warnings and errors, and their details in
// the global variable $callsErrors[$callID][$errorIdx++] = array(
// 'errorMsg' => 'for coders'
// (optional:)'userErrorMsg' => 'for laymen'
// 'backtrace' => array(....)
// )
// the never-fatal error handler specified with set_error_handler() will
// call getDebugInfo() and append full error info into
// $callsErrors[$callID][$errorIdx++]
//forwardDefaults() clones all meta-details for

//the 3rd parameter for forwardDefaults is used to specify new defaults.
$returnedByFuncF = funcF('blablasetting');
$x = funcE (
forwardDefaults($defaults, array(0=>0,2=>1), array(1 =>
'defaultblabla')),
$returnedByFuncB, $returnedByFuncF, $returnedByFuncD
);
return goodResult($x);
}
function funcE ($defaults, $returnedByFuncB, $returnedByFuncF,
$returnedByFuncD) {
$returnedByFuncB = workWith ($defaults, $returnedByFuncB, 0);
$returnedByFuncF = workWith ($defaults, $returnedByFuncF, 2);
$returnedByFuncD = workWith ($defaults, $returnedByFuncD, 2);
// do a call that might raise E_WARNINGS or other crap;
// safeCall() is only a try-except struct to call in this case
// str_replace('xx','yy', ...) and if it fails,
// return the default instead of the actual result.
$x = safeCall (
defaults('returnedByFuncB not a string'),
'str_replace', 'xx','yy',$returnedByFuncB
);
if (is_string($returnedByFuncB) && is_string($returnedByFuncD)) {
return goodResult (
$returnedByFuncB . $returnedByFuncD . $x
);
// goodResult() and badResult() will both call
// endErrorContext(), and copy the errors in
// $callsErrors[$callID]
// to the array returned to the calling function.
// goodResult() and badResult() will call processErrors(),

// notices, warnings, errors, etc.
} else {
// badResult() will call getDebugInfo() to include
// a full trace, superglobals, lotsa details.
return badResult (array(
'errorMsg' => 'params 1 and 2 must be strings'
'onErrorDefault' => ''
));
//shorthand of the above:
return badResult ('params 1 and 2 must be strings', '');
}
}
function defaults () {
$r = array (
'isMetaForFuncs' => true
);
if (func_num_args()==1) {
return array_merge_recursive ($r,
array('onError'=>array(0=>func_get_arg(0))));
} else {
switch (func_get_arg(0)) {
case 'onError':
$p = func_get_arg(1);
if (is_array($p)) {
return array_merge_recursive ($r,
array('onError'=>$p));
} else {
return array_merge_recursive ($r,
array('onError'=>array(0=>$p)));
}
break;
}
}
}
I also considered the following constructs but rejected them for
clumsiness (first) or sheer uselessness (2nd).
$r = funcA ($bcalldef, funcB($ccalldef, funcC ($pdef, $p)),
$dcalldef, funcD($qdef, $q));
$r = funcA ( funcB ( funcC ( $p ) ), funcD ($q), array (
'isMetaForFuncs' => true,
0 => array (
'onError' => $bCallDefaultOnError,
0 => array (
'onError' => $cCallDefaultOnError,
0 => array (
'onError' => $pDefaultOnError,
)
)
),
1 => array (
'onError' => $qDefaultOnError
)
);

I wasn't going to comment, but seriously, Rene, I would not make it a
habit of calling functions within the parameters of other functions.
Among other things, it obviously creates a whole host of the problems
you're talking about, and it makes your code hard to debug and read. The
only way I'd normally do something like this is if I were using native
PHP functions and the possible failure of the functions wouldn't matter.
Rather, I'd do something like this:
$d = funcD($q);
// tests if necessary
$c = funcC($p);
// tests if necessary
$b = funcB($c);
// tests if necessary
$r = funcA($b, $d);

You're right.
I knew when i was posting my last reply yesterday that i had made
things probably too complicated.
But after sleeping and a look at real code which is to work with my
improved-err-handling, i've come up with a new construct, that i think
will fit the bill for now.
I'm going to use the "result meta-array" instead of "plain result
values", because that
- completely equalizes the syntax for detecting bad results, and
prevents doing a lookup with a function to a value that is also the
"bad-result" return value for the lookup function.
- is much easier to read, than checking what the "bad-result" value is
for a lookup function.
- allows me to redirect the error info from a called function inside
the calling function
- allows infinite expansion of (meta-)communication between calling
and called functions.
So while i'm dumping the funcA (defaults($onError_pValue), $p) crap,
i'm retaining most of the other ideas in my previous post to this
thread.
the calling function does this, inside 3x foreach:
........
// if not done yet, resolve the fields
for this table=>hit that
require looking-up
if
(!$sqls[$tableName]['hasPreInserts']) {
foreach
($tableCmd['preInsertFields'] as $fieldName=>$fieldLookupCmd) {
$r =
maintenance__lookupPreInserts ($wm, $fieldLookupCmd);
if (!good($r)) {
$tableCmd['invalidPreInserts'] = true;
} else {
$sqls[$tableName]['preInserts'][$fieldName] = result($r);
}
}
}
if
(!array_key_exists('invalidPreInserts', $tableCmd)) {
// add the fields for this table for
this hit:
.........
and the helper functions:
function maintenance__lookupPreInserts (&$wm, $fieldLookupCmd) {
startErrorContext(); // to catch php E_NOTICE, E_WARNING, etc
$flcp = explode ('::', $fieldLookupCmd);
if (count($flcp)!=3) {
return badResult(E_USER_ERROR, array(
'msg' => 'Need 3 counts of \'::\'',
'vars' => array (0=>array('$fieldLookupCmd',
$fieldLookupCmd))
));
}
$section = $flcp[0];
$searchInSection = array();
$criteria = explode (',,', $flcp[1]);
foreach ($criteria as $idx1 => $criterium) {
$cs = explode('===',$flcp[1]);
if (count($cs)!=2) return badResult (E_USER_ERROR, array(
'msg' =>
'Any criterium (after first "::",
between ",,") needs to be like
this:'."\n".
'fieldName===searchValue',
'vars' => array (0=>array('$fieldLookupCmd',
$fieldLookupCmd))
));
$searchInSection = array_merge ($searchInSection, array(
$cs[0] => $cs[1]
));
}
$pathInSection = explode(',,', $flcp[2]);
foreach ($wm[$section] as $idx => $fields) {
$gotIt = true;
foreach ($searchInSection as $fn => $fv) {
if ($fields[$fn]!=$fv) {
$gotIt = false;
break;
}
}
if ($gotIt) {
return chase ($wm[$section], $pathInSection);
}
}
}
function chase ($arr, $indexes) {
startErrorContext();
$r = $arr;
foreach ($indexes as $idx) {
if (is_array($r)) {
$r = $r[$idx];
} else {
return badResult (E_USER_ERROR, array(
'msg' => 'Could not walk the full tree',

Thanks. I was under the misapprehension that the providers server would
automatically hunt
for a valid mirror, but I find that my various bookmarks are scattered on
mirrors all over
the place. Also that if I do a search from what appears to be the logical
starting
bookmark it doesn't work, but if I do it from most of the others it does. Very
strange.

The interesting things in my websites go on behind-the-scenes, in the PHP, and
produce
relatively straightforward HTML. I have avoided the well-known bugs in IE6, and
think my
webpages display correctly on any of the modern browsers, but as Microsoft
delights in
rearranging everything in every update, and making the features you need ever
harder to
find, I stick to IE6 for my everyday work.

Wow. Ignoring the issue that IE6 will soon be EOL (finally), and
ignoring how bad it is at handling anything even remotely modern, your
workstation must be a haven for virii, spyware and malware... IE6 has
just about the worst security track record out there, at least on the
desktop anyway.
If you must have IE6 for whatever reason, stick it on Windows
installed on a VM and upgrade your main workstation browser to
something more recent. At least a VM can be backed up at a known-good
point and if^H^Hwhen it gets compromised it can be deleted easily and
replaced with your backup.
I'll make it easy for you: http://www.getfirefox.com :)

Since a large section of our USER base is still tied to W2k and does not have
access to install other software, the call for IE6 to die is STILL somewhat
premature!
What is needed is someone to kick M$ to sort the mess out by at least allowing
IE8 to install on W2k machines, rather than telling hundreds of councils they
have to replace ALL their computers :(
The alternative is to convince M$ controlled councils that Firefox is OK and
that using it will not invalidate their contracts - but then all the work
currently being done to convert legacy setups to work with *IE7* would have to
be scrapped and reworked on Firefox. Many of my customers have only just got
funds to start an *IE7* roll out! Redoing all that work for IE8 is yet another
problem for which money is not available.

I'm basically familiar with the UNIX permissions - 'owner', 'group', or
'other', but I
have no real idea how these apply to webpage users under PHP. I know that if I
FTP to the
server I am the owner, and I think that if I, or anyone else, opens one of my
webpages I
am 'other'.
However what I would like to do is assign certain users, who have logged in
through a
security portal, to 'group', so that they (but not 'others') have permission to
write to
data files on the site.
Can this be done with PHP?

Almost right. It's UGO, User Group and Other.
When you view a PHP page, it's (usually) served by Apache, the process
will be owned by a user, usually 'apache'; who is also a member of a
group, usually 'apache'. On some systems these users/groups can be
'httpd', 'www-data' etc. When you or I look at a PHP file served from
Apache, there is no concept of users/groups/others outside those that
apply to the Apache process that served the data.

It's a seperate thing, because once again inside PHP there is no
concept of users/groups outside the Apache process itself. It would be
up to your PHP code to manage who has access to what, the files will
all be read from and written to disk by the Apache process.
HTH.
