[PHP] Re: readdir behavior I cannot understand
Greg-
Hey, thanks.
Yea I suppose I am relatively new to PHP, been working with for about
a year and a half now, so sometimes there are gaps in my knowledge,
like this one. I'm fairly good at different debugging techniques, but
I get this error when I run the script from the manual which is why
I'm so confused by it.
T_ECHO is echo. there's no echo anywhere near to line 6 - are
you sure that
D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\imagesexotic\Fall04\admin\check_set.php is the
file you posted to the php-general list?
No, I must be confusing everybody like nuts. The actual first two
lines of my LOCAL copy is
$root_dir = /Users/jason/Sites/;
$folder_on_server = ;
NOT the one I had posted-- that was from my server copy. Actually the
error message I get when I run it locally is
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ECHO in
/Users/jason/Sites/images_exotic/REDESIGN2 FALL
04/admin/check_set_local.php on line 8
It comes out T_PRINT when I changes the echo to print -- which
is more like line 4.
I was only testing it on two servers in the off chance that it was a
versioning and/or windows ISS/apache problem -- but it did not appear
to be either.
The LOCAL script I am working with is as follows:
?php
// Note that !== did not exist until 4.0.0-RC2
$root_dir = /Users/jason/Sites/;
$folder_on_server = ;
if ($handle = opendir($root_dir . $folder_on_server)) {
echo Directory handle: $handle\n;
echo Files:\n;
/* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
echo $file\n;
}
closedir($handle);
}
?
Do you see the same parse error (T_ECHO) as described above? I think
the problem has to do with how I've used opendir() maybe-- but I
guess I'm asking for help because the manual seems to have incomplete
or inaccurate information I was wondering if anyone else had seen
this before.
Thanks again for your help
-Jason-
What I would look for first is check every line - make sure it
concludes with a ;
Also, don't start out by trying the same script on two servers. The
script is simple enough, you should get it working in a closed
environment first, and then try it elsewhere. This should cut down
on the WTF factor quite a bit :)
General debugging rules:
1) on any parse error make sure every line near the line number ends with ;
2) make sure that when you type if (blah) { you type } before you
fill in the details. The same goes for every control structure
3) don't use if/while/for/foreach without {} and you'll save trouble
down the line
4) familiarize yourself with the list of tokens - it will help a lot
in understanding what the parser is telling you.
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/tokens.php
Other than that, I also find tricky parse error bugs by deleting
lines, then adding them back in one by one until the parse error
returns.
The most useful debugging tool I've found is Zend IDE. You can get
a free personal license that will disable some of the niftier
features, but you will get the on-the-fly php validation which is
REALLY useful. The bar along the right will have little red lines at
every single parse error. It's brilliant. Plus you can step
through the scripts, which is unmeasurably useful for learning the
language.

I suppose you are trying to force IE to download the pdf file, but it is
always displaying it - you did not tell what is your problem.
IE determines the type of file from the extension, if it is a known
extension it ignores the content-type header. You might want to try
adding space char after the filename, I've heard it works.
PS: Second param to header should be bool

[PHP] Yet another Apache 2 question
I'm currently using a PHP/Apache 2.0 (prefork) combination which seems to be running reasonably well, however I've just become familiar with the potential issues with PHP/Apache 2.0 so I intend to roll back to Apache 1.3 some time soon. I have a question about a particular error I have received with this setup: Many of the virtual hosts on my server have custom php_value settings. A user has reported that a particular error occurred in a PHP script, and the message indicated to me that the script had actually been loaded as if it were in another virtual host (ie. the specific php_value settings for the other virtual host were loaded instead). Both the user and I have never been able to replicate it and I have received no reports of similar errors. Could this be one of those unpredictable errors which the FAQ describes, or could this be attributed to some other problem? If anyone could shed some light on this it would be much appreciated!

[PHP] Converting PHP code and db schema from PostgreSQL to MySQL
Hello, folks, Is there any tool/script to convert PostgreSQL code from PHP scripts into MySQL (pg_connect mysql_connect and so forth)? I'm talking about a website with thousands of code lines. Also, any script which can convert PostgreSQL db data schema to MySQL? I only found tutorials for MySQL PostgreSQL conversion. Any link / tutorial / etc. would be highly appreciated. Thank you, Stefan

[PHP] Weird characters output
Hi all, I have recently moved a site over to a new server. Now certain characters are being replaced by weird characters. EG: the ' single quote is being replaced by a question mark and other characters are also affected. the information that contains these characters is inside a mysql database. The webserver is Apache and it is running on a linux, I have googled and found that it is an Apache PHP issue but have yet to come up with a solution. If anyone knows whats causing the problem and could help that would be great. thanks in advance.

[PHP] Automating the process of creating overviews of data
Hi, [Warnung: pretty long email about trying to make use of MVC and php5] I'm seeking some input in (architectually) designed my code so I can reach the following: - overview from the subject is defined as a table rows/columns displaying simple or complex results from an sql query - it is part of a backend for administrating data, e.g. displayig the procuts, customers, etc In simple ascii, the visual output would be: id | name | last login ---+--+--- 1 | schubert | yesterday 2 | haydn| last year Ok, so far nothing new; I just want to make clear what I'm talking about. The feature list this overview should have: - sortable rows, i.e. clicking on a column header sorts the select row - clicking on a row links to editing the specific entry - optional: provides ability (e.g. via small graphical buttons) to move an entry up/down (aka sorting) - optional: display a checkbox next to each entry; UI to delete all selected entries To achive this, I've currently separated the code into a few classes: abstract class OverviewController abstract class OverviewData interface OverviewView OverviewData: Knows what colums are defined and how they're set up (e.g. which columns are sortable, what type they display) and also knows how to fetch the data and convert it into a format so OverviewView can work with it. OverviewView: Knowns how to draw the output, e.g. the table/columns/rows/links for the client (browser) OverviewController: Takes OverviewData and OverviewView and controls them to generated the relevant output. The classes only define the basic architecture and don't work immidiately. The implementation of OverviewView should idially work with any class extending OverviewData; so I've kept CustomOverviewView generic to handle this. As I've started working on it, a few things have shown up which I need to resolve as intellegent as possible so I don't screw up the design: - How to a build the the links in the OverviewView output which control simple things like sorting for a specific column? What's the deal here? Well, OverviewView should be generic, not bound to anything specific. So when I integrate it into a application, the application definitely needs some GET/POST parameters which need to be present to handle its own state, not related to the OverviewView at all. So I started to give each instance of CustomOverviewView a distinct name by which the OverviewView known it can refer to itself without interfering with other variables used in the GET request. In the specific implementation, I'm using name as the basis for an array, so every state which needs to be remembered will be a entry in that array, e.g. name is procuctView then all states will be handled as productView[sortby], etc. But this alone doesn't fix the complete problem. There are certainly parameters which additionally need to be passed from the application itself. Therefore I've added a setParameterGetCallback method on the OverviewView interface by which a callback handler will be set; this callback is into the application itself, because this is the best place (I could think of) where this should be handled. The application _knows_ its state. The callback handler just additionally takes the parameters which need to be set by the CustomOverviewView implementation and returns the complete content for the GET request (e.g. for the href-Attribute). The next thing about sorting is: somewhere I need to know which column to sort. Idially (for me) this would be in the OverviewData implementation. Because this is where I fetch the data and I plan to have it fetched and stored for OverviewView right the way it is needed - sorted correctly by the choosen column. On the other hand, I need to sorting column information still in the OverviewView implementation too, because I need visual indication (up/down arrow). - The next thing: when I want to move an entry up/down (e.g. manuall sort), basically I'm fireing off a command: this entry ID whatever should be sorted UP. But I'm not quite sure where these action should be done. Is it part of the OverviewData implementation to execute this action (because it already does some action for sorting after the right column, albeit this is more a read only thing, whereas sorting an entry manually is like writing to the database, updating existing entries). Or is it a Controller thing? Or something I haven't yet thought off? And still, things I haven't completely considered are: - searching (not too different from sorting, anyway) - deleting (same problem as moving manually entries I guess: need to write to the database, but where from?) For simplicity I haven't included user-level permissions yet, but they've to come (but may currently be part of the Application itself). I do not want to make the design too complex; I want to make it practical. The current design for me is practical. I just use another CustomOverviewView and the table

[PHP] Fork PHP script X at a time.
Hi, I have a bit of a cold today so I probably would have figured this
out for myself eventually but hey ;-)
Right I have a script that I need to run around 90 times thru a cron job
but passing a different i.d. to it each time.
I have experimented with running all 90 at once and its a no go as it
just makes the server run to slow and the session cookies I use time out
(I am doing some libcurl things).
Also running them in a loop one at a time is no use because it takes
about 8 hours.
What I would like to do is fork off say 5-10 at a time and when one is
done start another one in its place, as they all take different length
of times to compleate.
Any clues at where to start? Here is my fork all 90+ code...
$sql = SELECT * FROM locations WHERE parent = '0';
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die ($sql.mysql_error());
while($data = mysql_fetch_array($res)){
exec(/usr/local/bin/php fork.php .$_data[id]. /dev/null );
}

EG: the ' single quote is being replaced by a question mark and other characters are also affected. the information that contains these characters is inside a mysql database. The webserver is Apache and it is running on a linux, I have googled and found that it is an Apache PHP issue but have yet to come up with a solution. If anyone knows whats causing the problem and could help that would be great. Most likely this is one of many occurences of the UTF problem. Try adding the line AddDefaultCharset iso-8859-1 to your httpd.conf, either within your vhost specification or by replacing the main one. Then restart Apache. Should work. If you don't have root access - try adding it to an .htaccess file, but I don't know of this directive is allowed in there .. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Fork PHP script X at a time.
Hi, I have a bit of a cold today so I probably would have figured this
out for myself eventually but hey ;-)
Right I have a script that I need to run around 90 times thru a cron job
but passing a different i.d. to it each time.
I have experimented with running all 90 at once and its a no go as it
just makes the server run to slow and the session cookies I use time out
(I am doing some libcurl things).
Also running them in a loop one at a time is no use because it takes
about 8 hours.
What I would like to do is fork off say 5-10 at a time and when one is
done start another one in its place, as they all take different length
of times to compleate.
Any clues at where to start? Here is my fork all 90+ code...
$sql = SELECT * FROM locations WHERE parent = '0';
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die ($sql.mysql_error());
while($data = mysql_fetch_array($res)){
exec(/usr/local/bin/php fork.php .$_data[id]. /dev/null );
}
You should be able to find out about the PID's for every forked
process, and use a loop (advisable with a sleep() in it) to see how
many procs are still running.. When the amount drops somewhat, spawn
another ..
Hope will get you somewhere!

RE: [PHP] thumbnail of webpage
Some great recommendations, but my first thought is wondering if you can interface with IE via COM or something. Or open the URL via IE and use the Windows API to do a PRINT SCREEN or ALT-PRINT SCREEN to capture it to the clipboard and do something funny that way. If I had time right now, I'd love to dig into this, but I wanted to at least share the thought in case it helped. Good luck!

Hmm, first off how would I get the PID for each process?
I could store each PID and then sleep for a minute, then check to see if
those PIDs are still valid (How would I do that?!) then fork some more
and loop till fade...
Think I will sleep on it.

they need to run. Then have a script that runs via cron that will
monitor system load, and start and stop jobs as required.

for a recent project, I needed an easily adaptable form, with a lot of
different, often changing elements, so I came up with the following
function (amongst others!):
// dropdown boxes
function dropdown($fieldname, $currentvalue='', $onchange='') {
$var_val = $fieldname . '_val';
$var_disp = $fieldname . '_disp';
global ${$var_val}, ${$var_disp};
if($onchange '') $onchange = 'ONCHANGE=' . $onchange . '';
echo('SELECT NAME=' . $fieldname . ' ' . $onchange. '');
for($loopy=1; $loopy=sizeof(${$var_val}); $loopy++) {
echo('OPTION VALUE=' . ${$var_val}[$loopy] . '');
if($currentvalue == ${$var_val}[$loopy]) echo(' SELECTED');
echo('' . ${$var_disp}[$loopy]);
}
echo('/SELECT');
}
I have an include file with the options for each form element -
meaning options can be added or removed easily - an example is:
// Sex
$Sex_val[1] = 'M';
$Sex_disp[1]= 'Male';
$Sex_val[2] = 'F';
$Sex_disp[2]= 'Female';
The function would be called by:
// create dropdown
dropdown('Sex');
// create dropdown, select a matching value
dropdown('Sex',$current_sex);
// create dropdown, select a matching value and run a javascript
function when element is changed
dropdown('Sex',$current_sex, 'checkSex()');

RE: [PHP] thumbnail of webpage
True, you'd have to run it on the web client end, but you can run IE on the server to access the HTML the server is err..serving. The server can also be a client, in other words. So your server can generate a thumbnail of what it's serving out by acting as a client for a second. As long as their security allows them to execute IE or interface with it and possibly the windows API. There are complexities, but it's the path I would explore if I had to create my own thumbnailing system (in the absence of some quick and easy utility that already did it). -TG -Original Message- From: raditha dissanayake [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 12:28 PM Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] thumbnail of webpage Gryffyn, Trevor wrote: Some great recommendations, but my first thought is wondering if you can interface with IE via COM or something.

[PHP] External Files (take 2)
Hi... Sorry about the last post... did not realize i hit the wrong button Here is my question. Sorry if it is a basic answer... new to php I have PHP/mySQL and would like to know how i can set use an external file to prevent myself for having to code everytime the connection/login to mysql. I was thinking of making an external file but was not sure if it should have just variables or should it have more? also, does the content of the external file need to be enclosed in ?PHP ?'s Thanks for your help Gary -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi Gary, Look up http://php.net/include It's just like copy and pasting the code in the external file in the one your including it into.

I was thinking of making an external file but was not sure if it should have just variables or should it have more? The usual way to solve it is to have a config file (can be php, ini file or some other format). Then you have some main php script that is included at the top of every php script. Main script reads the config file, makes connection to db, starts session, includes other files that are necessery etc. also, does the content of the external file need to be enclosed in ?PHP ?'s Yes, it's in the manual, read it. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] External Files (take 2)
So i would not need to use ?PHP / ? correct... Also as to the other question I asked: WHat should I use in the other file? the complete connection code or just the values as variables?
