[PHP] Seperating presentation from logic
I'm just about to start a large PHP project in which I get to work with professional designers/layout people. I want to separate all the programming logic from the presentation but I am not sure how to do this. Can anyone point me to resources (web tutorials/articles or books) that would help me figure out how best to separate my programming work from designer's work and how best to integrate them? Sorry for asking such a generic question but I don't know how to best phrase it. I did look on the web but the best I could find were some mentions of templates. While templates seems ok they don't address all the issues of separation presentation from code (if I understand them correctly). Thanks!

[PHP] looping through numbers

Re: [PHP] Seperating presentation from logic
You might want to start by looking (download, instal, try) at available content managers like PHPWebSite http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/ PHPNukehttp://phpnuke.org/ They do exactly that; seperate content from programming logic. As an admin you can assign certain users as beining authors. Authors can upload contents to the web-server without every having to know anything about PHP, webservers or databases. As an admin you can change the look and feel of the webpage without having to know much about PHP. It's designing a new 'skin' rather than desiging a complete new PHP project. It might very well be that these content managers do not fit your needs, but if you start from scratch they are certainly worth looking into before you take off on a large PHP project. good luck René Jean-Christian Imbeault wrote: I'm just about to start a large PHP project in which I get to work with professional designers/layout people.

[PHP] Problem with regular expressions
When I run the following script it returns String Okay! when it should say
Invalid Characters Found. I've tried the script substituting $ for other
characters, such as j, and it works just fine. What do I need to do?
?php
$input = johnon@company.$com;
if (ereg([$], $input)) {
die(Invalid Characters Found.);
} elseif (ereg([[:space:]], $input)) {
die(Whitespace found.);
} else {
echo String okay!;
}
?

Hello All,
I also have the challenge of distributing php code to unknown php
versions. There is a wide discrepancy in the functionality of even various
PHP 4.x code. Since at the time of coding I don't know the version, I test
for it when I need to, and include code accordingly.
For example, in the case of image uploads I find out what PHP version
the server is running. I declare a 'yardstick' value. If the server version
is less than the yardstick then I include one block of code. If the server
version is equal to or greater than the 'yardstick' value then I include
another, different block of code. It's messy, and extra code, but it
works...
While there is a user contributed function for checking the difference
of two php versions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.phpversion.php
interfear01 at hotmail dot com
09-Jun-2002 03:00
function check_php_version ($version)
... wouldn't it be really nice to have the PHP development team make up
a formal, built in function to handle this growing need to check versions?
If such a function was made now, then we could rely on its availability
some years in the future...

If you want an all in one solution without having to have two versions,
can't you read the status of register_globals from the config file and
base
the rest of the script on this?
eg
if (register_globals == 'on') {
$name = _POST['name'];
$address = _GET['address'];
}
then you can access the variables as if register_globals = on even if
it
isn't

Re: [PHP] Seperating presentation from logic
Well... I still think that these tools can help. For example PHPWebSite (which I use for our Intranet) has a set of 'themes'. A theme consists of a style sheet (.css), some image files (logo's, backgrounds etc.) and a small set of PHP scripts that define things like standard header, footers. If you would like to change the look and feel, you 'just' have to change (or add) the theme plugin. Examples are also on the phpwebsite homepage. You can even allow visitors to select a different theme when they visit the website. Now it depends on how much your designers know about style sheets etc. Would you trust them changing a style sheet and some images? If not than your project could very well be that you have to write a 'theme editor'. A kind of user interface that designers can use to build the theme files. But anyway 'content mangers' (phpwebsite / phpnuke) do seperate the application from the contents, but also application from design. Allthough the later not as far as I suppose you would need for your project. good luck René p.s. these tools require a database on the webserver as well, so if you download phpwebsite or phpnuke, be prepared to also have a database installed on your webserver.

Re: [PHP] Seperating presentation from logic
I think the issues are VERY project specific. Luckily for me I'm the DESIGNER and PROGRAMMER on many of my projects, but often I'm just one of the two. When I'm just designing, I obviously need to develop page templates, but more and more of my time is spent developing style guides (often also called VM's (visual manifestos), among others). Basically, if a Style Guide is done right, programmers can make a whole heap of design-related decisions as they go. This can be in the form of colour guides, type styles, heading treatment, image treatment, spacing, layout styles, form presentation, etc etc. If the programmer reads and understands the rules, then a LOT of back and forth can be saved. Commonly a site may have: -- | common header | -- || | dynamic middle section | || || -- | common footer | -- What you want to do is have the designer design the header and footer, and provide style guides and samples of what might happen in the middle. From there, it depends on how far you want to separate the code and content. Simple things like: - defining $col1 $col2 $col3 colours which can be changed for a different pallet at any time - defining font tags like $fontBig $fontHeading $fontCopyright which can be changed site-wide at any time Slightly more complex things like a webbox/fusebox architecture (http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/bill19990831.php3), or even just separating the TEXT of the pages out into separate plain text files or into a database will be a major help. Also check out http://bombusbee.com http://www.fusebox.org in relation to fuseboxes. Then talk about CSS -- the whole aim of CSS is to separate content from design/mark-up. There's a pretty good article on SitePoint (http://www.WebmasterBase.com/article/379) which brushes the surface. There's about another 5 or six articles on this page worth reading: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/ And I'd recommend spending a LOT of time at http://SitePoint.com (http://www.WebmasterBase.com).

Re: [PHP] Seperating presentation from logic
Thanks! I'll visit and read all the links you gave. Some of the issues are things like how to make it painless for both the designers and me if one day, out of the blue, a designers decides that the background colour should be changed, or the graphics changed. Or even worse the two column layout should be a three column layout. But to start off with simple things like: Designer: - on this page a dynamic table will be generated according to the search criteria entered by the user - lines will have alternating colours I can code this easily, but what if the designer then decides that he wants each *third* line to alternate colour, or he wants to use three colours instead of two (a pattern 1,2,3,1,2,3 instead of 1,2,1,2). How can I make it so that he can do these changes without coming to see me to change the code that outputs the data used in the table? Simple things like that ;) Jc Justin French wrote: I think the issues are VERY project specific.

[PHP] New window, new session
Hi there I know this is not a php specific question, but I don't know where else to ask. I've got the following situation. The website I'm currently working on has got a administration page where the administration user must be able to login as all the users available. It is fine getting all the data, but I want to open the login in a new browser window, otherwise the administrator has go to re-login with his account. Thus, I need to somehow open a new browser window, with a new session id. When somebody logs in I check to see if there is already a session variable registered. If there is, I unset this variable, and register a new one for the login account. You can see where my problem is. At this stage I'm using some java script window.open() to open the new window, but it is still with the save session id. If any of you can tell me how to open a new browser window with a new session id, I would greatly appreciate it.

Why can't you specify them to make comments to !--insert php code--, or
better still specify which file to include with
?include('inc/something.php');?
??
If they want to make a page that lists in a table all the documents we
have from 1999-2001, then they can can do this easily without worrying
about me.
Yes, but things like sessions, form validation, etc will require more
indepth scripts, possibly with thing in the headers, and much more
conditional style pages with lots of if()'s.
And just as importantly I can code the scripts that will generate the
table without worrying that maybe in the future the layout will change.
ask them to write an include statement at the point where your table needs
to appear.
So I how can I do this? i.e. if the designers want to change the
background colour on one page how can they do this without coming to seem?
See my other post on this topic... have a set of predefined variables which
both you and they have access to, and include this set of vars on every
page... these can be for the colour pallet, font tags, and all sorts of
other stuff which can be changed centrally (once) by modifying the config
file, affecting all templated pages.
You need to sit down and figure out what you want to give them access to,
and try to define these as variables.
? // general_config.php
$siteTitle
$colBg = #FF;
$colText = #FFCC99;
$colLink = #EE;
$colComplimentary = #CC6600;
$fontHeading = FONT class=\heading\ face=\verdana, arial\
size=\3\;
$fontBody = FONT class=\body\ face=\verdana, arial\ size=\2\
color=\{$colText}\;
$fontCopyright = FONT class=\copyright\ face=\verdana, arial\
size=\1\ color=\{$ colComplimentary}\;
?
The calling in HTML code might be:
? include('inc/general_config.php'); ?
HTML
HEADTITLE?=$siteTitle?/TITLE
BODY bgcolor=?=$colBg? text=?=$colText? link=?=$colLink?
?=$fontHeading?My Heading/FONTBR
?=$fontBody?The main body text/FONTBRBR
?=$fontCopyright?Copyright me 2002/FONT
/BODY
/HTML
They can change the config file as many times as they want!

But to start off with simple things like: Designer: - on this page a dynamic table will be generated according to the search criteria entered by the user - lines will have alternating colours I can code this easily, but what if the designer then decides that he wants each *third* line to alternate colour, or he wants to use three colours instead of two (a pattern 1,2,3,1,2,3 instead of 1,2,1,2). How can I make it so that he can do these changes without coming to see me to change the code that outputs the data used in the table? Well, then you work on a set of code that allows for configuration of the table to alternate in 2 or 3 colours (1st rule established -- not 2, not 3), and then allow them to set the 2 or 3 values via a colour configuration file (see other posts) which is included at the top of the page. Proving them ACCESS to these configuration values can be as simple as allowing them to write/change the config.php file, or it might involve a content management system with a GUI web based control panel. Generally the config aren't hard, it's executing them in a function wrapper / code block. Establish rules, design config variables to accomodate the options, allow access to these config variables (a flat file, mysql values, whatever), then accomodate these config options in code. Yes, providing code that allows for 2 OR 3 alternating color rows in a table will be a lot more than for just 2, so you need to establish if this is a priority.

[PHP] PHP not working on Apache at XP Pro.
Glory! I've got Windows XP Pro OS. I installed and am running mySQL on that. However, PHP is not getting configured with Apache on it. I got the latest Apache, 1.3.24 or something, not the Version 2. Anyway, Apache runs perfectly on it. However, when i put in the required PHP lines in httpd.conf and install PHP otherwise on the system. What happens is that i get an error stating that : mod_c.php already exists, skipping Now when i remove that line, PHP does not work with Apache. If i insert that line, APACHE itself doesn't work at all. What is wrong with it? Well thanks, T. Edison Jr. = Rahul S. Johari (Director) ** Abraxas Technologies Inc.

The solution is just to change the realm/domain for the admin user e.g. admin.mysite.com. Then the browser keeps separate login/passwords. This should also be possible with cookie based sessions since the browsers will hold separate cookies for different domains and also for different paths if you specify a path on the cookie setting. I don't know if all this session stuff lets you specify the path on the session cookie, but certainly the separate domain technique should work.

Thanks,

Try changing the double quotes to single quotes i.e.
$input = 'johnon@company.$com';
php automatically attempts variable substitution on double-quoted
strings, but not single-quoted strings. Unless you know that you want
variable substitution, it's always safer and faster to use single-quotes.

We could use PERL too. Unfortunately the company we retrieve these files from will not make them available in a more convenient manner because if we do it for you, we have to do it for everyone.

Re: [PHP] Which costs more: connecting to a DB or accessing the file system?
Mike wrote: thaks for the reply. I conducted a simple/rough benchmark to which is more expensive. ... On the win box, file system access was 11 times faster, while on the freeBSD box, file system access was 3 times faster. The include of the adodb class is not benchmarked, as part of this test, that that adds extra overhead as well. I suppose that filesystem access is faster. The answer that you got that said it depends, while superficially not very useful is almost certainly right. Compared to a 'select * from table' query, reading all of a file is likely quicker regardless of which DB or DB abstraction you use. How about some more complex cases: * 'select * from table where id = 999' compared to reading in a file and finding the correct line? * inserting or altering a line in the middle of an ordered file, compared to a simple insert or alter on a DB? * writing data to the file while 40 other script instances are all trying to read and write to the file at the same time and doing your own concurrency control, compared to letting a DB engine handle the concurrency issues for you? Simple tasks might be easier and quicker to do from a file, in which case, if the application is unlikely to grow or evolve, the file might be the best way to do things. For complex or concurrent tasks, it can be much more efficient in terms of both programming and execution time to let the DB handle some of the harder parts for you. It really does depend exactly what you are trying to do with your database or file.

I recommend http://smarty.php.net for seperating presentation from logic.
It's one of the best template systems currently. It worked out of the box
for me but it took me like the long weekend to figure out some of the config
folders. It does your standard variable substitution {$bgcolor} but what I
like about it is that it lets you code your own custom tags for your
designers like {display_calender} so it hides all the php code for
displaying a calender or something. Your designer just types in
{display_calender} in the html files and it comes out a calender everytime.

Sorry for asking such a generic question but I don't know how to best

I am in the process of analyzing the following situation and wanted to see if any of you might have done this or something similar before... Each day we have a person who is responsible for going to a secure web site ,logging in, (which redirects to) a JAVA applet. This JAVA applet has a set of tabs across the top, one of which is labeled 'Daily Records'. The tab is clicked on and then a set of zip files is listed for download. All done manually every day. What we would like to do is develop some sort of automated method to do this file retrieval using PHP (as a stand alone executable run by a CRON job) since it has excellent file handling functions. We could use PERL too. Unfortunately the company we retrieve these files from will not make them available in a more convenient manner because if we do it for you, we have to do it for everyone. My arguement was that we already had access, there was no need for a JAVA applet layer of abstraction. The arguement fell on deaf ears, leaving me in this position. Does anyone have any ideas?

[PHP] appending to XML file before closing tag
This works pretty well to append content to an XML file. However, I need to keep the closing tag where it belongs: at the end of the file. This only appends to the end and doesn't work. I use ... $myecho = Hello World; $file_name = file.xml; $file_pointer = fopen($file_name, a); fwrite($file_pointer, $myecho); fclose($file_pointer); I know I need to introduce: fread() and fseek(). but not sure how to put it all together.

Re: [PHP] how to get names of files...
(if there's a.gif in the folder then I want $first to be a.gif, IF
there's also a na.jpg then I want then it should be $second .. if you
know what I mean)
well, i think you don't want to have variable like $twentyfifth,
$hundredandthirtyfirst etc...
don't you rather use some array?
but try to use ${'variablename'}=$val
ex.:
for($i=0;$i100;$i++)
{ $name='name'.$i;
${$name}=$i; }
You should get variables
$name0$name99 with values 0..99.

Now move your file pointer to (file's total characters - length) so that it is immediately before the ending tag. Append your data, then manually append the ending tag. If you will deal with varying ending tags, then you'll have to come up with a creative method for capturing them and storing them, then dynamically determining their length and do the same thing, then append the ending tag (whatever it may be).

[PHP] very strange behaviour under https
i've been having strange behaviour from php since i run my code from behind https. i made a forum with PHP and MySQL (who didn't?), and it runs without any problems. about 10 people worked with it for a month or three and it ran just fine all that time. but now i decided to place that same forum behind https (apache + mod_ssl) and i get strange behaviour. what happens is that occasionally some get/post variabeles seem to get lost (i think) this all seems to occur very randomly so it is very hard to reproduce at any given time. just to make sure the problem isn't within my code also made virtual directory without https accessing exactly the same code and there are no such errors. what could be going on here? config: redhat 6.2 mysql-3.23.39 Apache/1.3.26 PHP/4.2.1 mod_perl/1.27 mod_ssl/2.8.9 OpenSSL/0.9.6c php configure command: './configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-imap' '--with-mysql' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl' '--enable-sockets' '--with-xml' '--with-zlib' '--with-java=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0' '--with-pgsql' -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Seems about right, however by default output is printed to a Page
unless you are running your script in the command prompt what you
might want to do to avoid messiness is redirect every printout confirmation
of your for loop to the std.error (I am not too sure what the path
is: it should be in the manuals though - php.net)... Or alternatively
to a file using the fopen(fileName, w+); then using puts() or fwrite
to write the output contents...

RE: [PHP] Seperating presentation from logic
You really want a template system. Check out Smarty or patTemplate.
Devshed.com has a nice two part tutorial on patTemplate and I like how
it looks a little better than Smarty right now. Might want to evaluate
both and see which is faster or easier.
I was going to give an example of patTemplate, but the devshed page
isn't coming up. Basically, like someone else said, you teach your HTML
designers to use custom tags that your template engine will recognize
and place the correct values for.
To make a loop, you'd tell your designers to do something like this
table
pattemplate:loop
trtda href='{download_link}'{filename}/a/td/tr
/pattemplate:loop
It's not exactly like that, mind you, but you get the idea.
You can't ever completely separate you designers and programmers. What
you do is provide an easy to understand way for your designers to
include the programming elements. What's easier, teaching them to put
?=$_POST['name']? or {name} in the document???

Maybe my message was too vague but what I meant is that my designers

If they want to make a page that lists in a table all the documents we

And just as importantly I can code the scripts that will generate the

change.
So I how can I do this? i.e. if the designers want to change the

If you want an all in one solution without having to have two versions,
can't you read the status of register_globals from the config file and base
the rest of the script on this?
eg
if (register_globals == 'on') {
$name = _POST['name'];
$address = _GET['address'];
}
then you can access the variables as if register_globals = on even if it
isn't
That's the type of solution that I took on one of our servers where I had
deliberately turned off register_globals (prior to PHP 4.1 or whenever the
default was changed), though I just used a loop:
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $var = $val) {
$$var = $val;
}
// repeat for the other relevant $HTTP_*_VARS
The result was a short script that could be require_once'd at the
top of every script that depended on register_globals being off.

I've written a small freeware script that gets installed on a variety of
different platforms running various PHP versions.
I've read through the manual about the super global arrays and how post
and
get vars are no longer registered by default, but am confused about when
it
would be a good idea to upgrade the script.
If I change everything in the script and use $_GET and $_POST etc. then
those people who are still using earlier versions won't be able to
upgrade.
Does anyone know what the uptake of the latest version is? What is
everyone
else doing about this? If I were developing for one client it wouldn't be
a
problem as obviously you'd know what you were developing for.
I'd just like some feedback on when would be a good time to upgrade the
scripts while causing the minimum disruption and maintaining maximum happy
users.
Thanks

RE: [PHP] Seperating presentation from logic
There are a ton of template systems. Look here for performance benchmarks:

Unfortunately pattemplate isn't tested so I don't know how it rates.

You really want a template system. Check out Smarty or patTemplate.
Devshed.com has a nice two part tutorial on patTemplate and I like how
it looks a little better than Smarty right now. Might want to evaluate
both and see which is faster or easier.
I was going to give an example of patTemplate, but the devshed page
isn't coming up. Basically, like someone else said, you teach your HTML
designers to use custom tags that your template engine will recognize
and place the correct values for.
To make a loop, you'd tell your designers to do something like this
table
pattemplate:loop
trtda href='{download_link}'{filename}/a/td/tr
/pattemplate:loop
It's not exactly like that, mind you, but you get the idea.
You can't ever completely separate you designers and programmers. What
you do is provide an easy to understand way for your designers to
include the programming elements. What's easier, teaching them to put
?=$_POST['name']? or {name} in the document???

Thanks for the links. Hard to figure out what those things are just
from
their web pages. They should work on making it easier to figure what
the
projects are.
I'll have a look but ...
Maybe my message was too vague but what I meant is that my designers
will come up with the site layout, colours, graphics etc ... I want
them
to be able to do all their work without thinking about any
programming.
If they want to make a page that lists in a table all the documents we
have from 1999-2001, then they can can do this easily without worrying
about me.
And just as importantly I can code the scripts that will generate the
table without worrying that maybe in the future the layout will
change.
So I how can I do this? i.e. if the designers want to change the
background colour on one page how can they do this without coming to
seem?

[PHP] upgrading phpmyadmin...
Is it pretty easy to upgrade phpmyadmin from 2.1 to the latest version? Anyone run in to any difficulty?
RE: [PHP] Seperating presentation from logic
Is there a particular reason everyone is skipping over the idea of using
XML/XSLT? What you're talking about is EXACTLY what XSLT was designed for.
You can write scripts that access the DB, and output XML. Then you just use
XSL files written by your designers to translate your XML into HTML. they
get to choose EVERYTHING about what the page looks like.
Granted, your designers need to learn a little XSL, but it sounds like, for
what you're doing, they wouldn't need to learn much. If you're going to
teach them to use something proprietary like pattemplate (as mentioned
below), why not spend that time teaching them to use XSL, which is easy to
use and isn't proprietary, it's actually W3 specified.
for info on how to get it working with php, go to:

some people may disagree.

If you want to do it from PHP, then the forms will have to be seperate (PHP is
server side...) You assign a value to a checkbox, then in the page you submit
to, use something like
if ( $_POST[$checkbox_name] == checked_value )
{
...
