An array is like in math, except that an array in PHP stores anything
you like. It's just a bunch of them together.
An object can also store a bunch of different things, but it also has
"methods", which are really just functions. An array won't actually *do*
anything; you have to do things *to* it. An object can actually do stuff
at your direction. Like:
$kitchen->make_coffee('cream', 'sugar');
The object here is $kitchen, and you've told it to use its make_coffee()
method, which does something or another. You can also make those
"methods" private so that code outside the object can't "see" them.

Hey,
Arrays: A structure to store data
Example:
$example = array("value1", "value2", "value3);
echo $example[0]; // echos "value1"
echo $example[2]; // echos "value3"
Object: Something totally diffrent. A object is an instance of a class.
Contains variables and methods.
I don't know how you thought of using arrays or objects for the same
problem? Can you give an example?
An array's functionality can be implemented as a Class with specific
array instances being Objects. This allows the array to be used in
polymorphic contexts and to be extended by subclasses. The same can be
said for any primitive datatype.
Personally, I haven't seen a need to use an Array class in PHP. That's
not to say it doesn't have a purpose, but I lean towards primitives when
possible for efficiency.
Cheers,
Rob.
ahh i said the same until recently, and it's actually prompted me to
start making some generic container classes with array accessors.
simple example being, I want an array which can't have duplicates and
doesn't have any kind of ordered indexing, just an array or container i
can throw objects in and trust that i won't have any dups. Another
example is if you want an array of objects which can only be of
class/interface type x

Greetings, all. I am looking for feedback on a documentation question, in
the hopes that someone else has found a good solution to an abnormal
situation.
We're in the process of introducing OOP syntax to a large procedural code
base. Our developer base is a mixture of people who are procedural-centric
and those that flip between procedural and OOP easily. One area we've run
into is documenting some of the more complex OOP interactions. For example,
if we have a method chain:
foo()->bar()->baz()->narf();
some developers have expressed concern in figuring out which narf() method
is actually being called, since foo(), bar() and baz() may return objects of
different classes (of the same interface) depending on various conditions
(the classic factory pattern).
Currently, we're including a docblock (Doxygen, close enough to PHPDoc for
government work) on the interface or parent class that has full docs, and
then nothing on the child classes. My understanding of docblocks is that
most documentation parsers prefer that, so that the docblock itself
inherits.
One suggestion that has been raised is to reference the parent class and
factory function in a comment after the method signature. That is:
class Narfing_mysql {
// ...
public function narf() { // Narfing foo()
// ...
}
}
So that it can be easily grepped for. That strikes me as a very hacky
non-
solution. Does anyone else have a recommendation for how to improve such
documentation? Is there a standard in PHPDoc that I don't know about? Any
other projects doing something like that?
first idea would just be to use the @return; if they're using any kind
decent of ide it'll show the return type; failing that they can check the
docs
class Narfing_mysql {
/**
*
* @return Type
*/
public function narf() { // Narfing foo()
// ...
}
}
or not best practice but i dare say
class Narfing_mysql {
/**
*
* @return TypeA, TypeB
*/
public function narf() { // Narfing foo()
// ...
}
}
or in the method description with @see Class inline links?

Try this for arrays: http://de2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php

A lot of people who post questions on this list are programming their algorithms and structuring their applications in a certain way because that's what the client wants, or that's what their boss told them to do. Yes, accepting NULL values in a database is frowned upon (unless the table is a transaction table)... but I doubt his boss or his client cares in the least. I don't understand what you mean about a "transaction table" - you should only use nulls if you understand what they do and why you'd need them in that particular case. I'd ask why and find specifically what they want/why they suggested it and make sure they understand the repercussions. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] php forking/spawning question...
Hi...
got the follwoing example... basically, when i call the function "spawn_" i
get the passed vars for appname/args...
the $appname,$args are valid when the spawn_ function is initially invoked.
however, when the app does the fork, the $appname, $args get lost. when the
function gets to the pcntl_exec, the vars ($appname, $args) are no longer
set.
so what did i miss, how is this process supposed to work?
thoughts/comments...
thanks
=
/*
test func to spawn client thread
*/
function spawn_($appname, $args)
{
print "appname =".$appname."\n";
print_r($args);
//exit();
$pid = pcntl_fork();
if ($pid == -1)
{
die('cannot fork');
}
elseif ($pid)
{
print "child pid = ".$pid."\n";
//pcntl_waitpid($pid, $status);
//break;
//exit();
$par=1;
}
else
{
// Note that pcntl_exec() automatically prepends the program
name
// to the array of arguments; the program name cannot be
spoofed.
print "running cmd \n";
pcntl_exec($appname, $args);
//system("./clientmgr.php");
exit();

If so, you can use the top and ps commands to see the various system resources in use by different processes. using top is simple, just type top and look at the SIZE and RES columns.

Daniel,
It is pretty much resolved. Thanks for the advice -- it was in trying to strip
down my code for posting here that I figured out the following.
The immediate problem was that the code issued a "header" command to reawaken
my web page and that is *supposed* to wipe out all my form data. The real
problem to do with hashed md5 data I am keeping in the database (passwords)
that are not matching what gets input on the form. Looking at $_REQUEST was a
red herring that sent me astray.
In the code below, pg_num_rows came back with zero, saying the hashed password
didn't match. And I could see by doing a manual query that they indeed didn't
match. When I use php5 to asssign a new password, the above code correctly
matched the newly hashed password. In other words it appears that md5 hashing
doesn't agree between php4 and php5, but I am not in the mood for
transferring data back and forth between the two systems to prove a point now
that it is working for me (with no code change).
Here is the code in question, in case you spot anything wrong with it.
==
$passwd=htmlentities($passwd,ENT_QUOTES);
$query="SELECT md5('$passwd') as hashed";
$result=issue_query($query);
$row=pg_fetch_assoc($result);
$hashed=$row['hashed'];
$query="SELECT * from auth
WHERE userid='$userid'
AND passwd='$hashed'";
$result=issue_query($query);
if (pg_num_rows($result)==0) {
$_SESSION['status']='bad';
header("location: $PHP_SELF");
exit ;
}

I bolded where the errors are happening. Holy crap on a cracker, I'm not gonna read all that. An undefined variable notice basically means you're trying to use a variable before it's been given a value, so look for that on and around the line it complains about and either display the variables or trace them back to confirm they contain what you think they do. The other error indicates that you're trying to use object notation (->) on a scalar (number, string or array). Again, look at the line it points you to and confirm the variables it contains have the values you think they should. This is basic debugging. Spending time resolving these errors yourself is time well spent, and the more you do it the easier it becomes. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Shawn,
So would that look something like this:

$realname = strip_tags($realname);
$email = strip_tags($email);
$feedback = strip_tags($feedback);

// replace $...@mysite.com with your email
$sendto = "$...@mysite.com";
$subject = "Sending Email Feedback From My Website";
$message = "$realname, $email\n\n$feedback";
// send the email
mail($sendto, $subject, $message);
}

Understood. I just thought I'd raise the question since the OP is says
he is a PHP newbie (and based on his previous posts I'm guessing a
MySQL newbie as well, though I could be mistaken) just to make sure
the question (and its implications) has been at least considered
before making such a sweeping change.
FWIW, I would also be a little cautious about a client who asked me to
allow every column in every table accept NULLs.

[PHP] Empty $_REQUEST
Hi, I have a apache2/php app written for php version 4 and have moved it to a system running php version 5: Old: PHP 4.3.10 New: PHP 5.2.6 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 When I run the app I find that $_REQUEST is almost empty. it contains PHPSESSID but none of the data submitted through an html form. /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini has both: variables_order = "GPCS" request_order = "GPCS" (I added the 2nd line just to be sure.) Is there something else that needs to be turned on to get form data into $_REQUEST? An dd thing: If I issue phpinfo() before print_r($_REQUEST); then $_REQUEST does contain all my form data! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I just thought I'd throw this out there...
A lot of people who post questions on this list are programming their
algorithms and structuring their applications in a certain way because that's
what the client wants, or that's what their boss told them to do. Yes,
accepting NULL values in a database is frowned upon (unless the table is a
transaction table)... but I doubt his boss or his client cares in the least.
My 2 cents. ;)

The other responses should get you started if this is something you
really want to do. However, I'll play devil's advocate here and just
raise the question why you would want to make this change in the first
place. I'm not quite as anti-NULL as a lot of arguments I've read
against them, but I tend to agree that the number of columns that
accept NULL values should be kept as small as possible. Even if you
decide that you need to allow NULL values in some cases, IMHO I
wouldn't write a script that ran through my entire database and opened
every column in every table to accept.
Just my 2 cents.

You can also retrieve the field types with:
SELECT COLUMN_TYPE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE COLUMN_NAME =
'whatever';
Which might help the programmatic approach.

In the mysql client, do a SHOW CREATE TABLE tableName\G (The \G will save you from seeing lots of wrapping -'s) Copy the returned CREATE TABLE statement, paste into your editor. Re-use the column definitions to craft the appropriate ALTER TABLE statement. Run in your mysql client, after testing on a copy of the table, or backup your data first, whichever is appropriate to your situation.. For a PHP solution, PEAR MDB2 (specifically the Manager and Reverse modules) could be used, but I would only use it for recurring situations where a generic solution is appropriate, not for a one-off operation like this seems to be.

Hi,
The MySQL syntax to alter a column is:
ALTER TABLE `table` MODIFY `column` BIGINT NOT NULL;
[ http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/alter-table.html ]
The sql statement
SHOW COLUMNSFROM `table`;
[ http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/show-columns.html ]
will give you a list of all the fields with there type, default values, null
etc...
You can then use this in the loop to find all the fields where null=NO.
Warning from the manual:
When you change a data type using CHANGE or MODIFY, MySQL tries to
convert existing column values to the new type as well as possible.
Warning
This conversion may result in alteration of data. For example, if you
shorten a
string column, values may be truncated. To prevent the operation from
succeeding if conversions to the new data type would result in loss of
data, enable
strict SQL mode before using ALTER TABLE (see Section 5.1.6, “SQL Modes”).
I don't think this will affect you but bare it in mind.
Regards
Ian

[PHP] Global Changes With Loop To Allow Nulls In A Table...
Hi Folks,
Newbie question
I have a mysql table with 100 fields, currently all do not allow nulls.
Rather than hand typing in phpMyAdmin, I would like a way to loop through
all fields and update them to allow nulls
My Beginning attempt needs help...
$i = 1;
while ($i <= 100):
// how do I word this to just change whatever field we are on to allow
nulls?
$sql = 'ALTER TABLE `mytable` ?*update*? `'.$???WhatEverField??[$i].'`
?ALLOWNULL?;';
//mysql_query($sql);
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(" Could not renumber dB $sql
" . mysql_error());
$i++;
endwhile;
Thanks in advance

We're in the process of introducing OOP syntax to a large procedural code
base. Our developer base is a mixture of people who are procedural-centric
and those that flip between procedural and OOP easily. One area we've run
into is documenting some of the more complex OOP interactions. For
example,
if we have a method chain:
foo()->bar()->baz()->narf();
some developers have expressed concern in figuring out which narf() method
is actually being called, since foo(), bar() and baz() may return objects
of
different classes (of the same interface) depending on various conditions
(the classic factory pattern).
Currently, we're including a docblock (Doxygen, close enough to PHPDoc for
government work) on the interface or parent class that has full docs, and
then nothing on the child classes. My understanding of docblocks is that
most documentation parsers prefer that, so that the docblock itself
inherits.
One suggestion that has been raised is to reference the parent class and
factory function in a comment after the method signature. That is:
class Narfing_mysql {
// ...
public function narf() { // Narfing foo()
// ...
}
}
So that it can be easily grepped for. That strikes me as a very hacky
non-
solution. Does anyone else have a recommendation for how to improve such
documentation? Is there a standard in PHPDoc that I don't know about? Any
other projects doing something like that?

Okay, that's very similar to my approach. For first-time users (of
which I will have a lot), the language is set by their browser's
language setting. Most users won't be changing it.

I leave that to Apache and the 'prefer-language' environment variable -
I guess my main issue is to do with e.g. error-messages from PHP code
("please complete this field correctly" etc) and from javascript ditto.
I guess for error-messages, it's back to gettext(), which does make some
sense.

Totally agree.

The gettext db doesn't support UTF8??? Uh oh, that's a show-stopper.
