Make Business logic and process user input and do required task such as redirection 2. Store result of step 1 in any entities like variables. 3. Draw Header 4. Make Middle bar using set entities. 5. Draw footer. This is just a overview of approach. You may need to process more things along with middle bar, but it is good idea to do logical processing before presentation.

[PHP] newbie: string to char array
Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to convert a given string into an array of chars
without using a separator.
That is, is there a function
mySplit
with
mySplit('example') == array('e', 'x', 'a', 'm', 'p' 'l' 'e') ?
Thanks

Do you absolutely need it as an array? If indexing by character would
suffice, just use PHP's {} syntax:
$s = 'example';
echo $s{0};// e
echo $s{1};// x
// etc.

[PHP] RDF/XML Parser: SimpleRDF
Hi all, I was looking for an easy RDF parser writen in PHP but I failed. There are some parsers out there but I could not find the right one for me... I decided to write an RDF parser by myself... not easy ;-)... I created SimpleRDF parser on sourceforge.net under BSD license and I'd like to ask you guys for help. If you have time to play little bit with RDF or you are looking for RDF/PHP parser - test mine (even if you don't expect to use it - just try it, please). I'm currently working on version 0.2 that has the ability to save (for now it can only read/parse and save N-Triples) RDF/XML documents. SimpleRDF is based on PHP5/XSL. XSL part simplifies the RDF/XML source to allow easy parsing (XSL part can be used as standalone XSL stylesheet if you need). PHP5 part provides really simple API - my goal was really KISS (keep it simple, stupid). It is well commented. Thanks for any testing/feedback...

[PHP] Simple(?) array of form input data needs to get into MySQL
I have a problem (the core of it being that I am VERY new at PHP and MySQL), wondering if anyone can suggest solutions. I've been charged with handling creation of new web pages for entering kids' data into a database for a local parents' club, for babysitting co-ops and such. What we want to do: a) The registration form will ask for parents' name and contact info (I'm not having any problem handling that), and ask them how many children they have. b) After submitting this, PHP puts these values into a MySQL database (again, no problem) and will give them a second form, with one set of form inputs for each child (I haven't figured out how to do this yet; it sounds simple enough though). For example, if you said you have 3 kids, the next form might look like this: Child # First NameMiddle Name Last Name Gender DoB School Name 1 _ ___ _ _ ___ 2 _ ___ _ _ ___ 3 _ ___ _ _ ___ Where the fields will be named Child1Number, Child1FirstName, etc., all the way through Child3SchoolName. The PHP script that processes this form after it is submitted needs to a) create a childID for each child (this is simply main account-holder's ID with c, d, e, etc., appended, and b) enter the data for each child into the database, in the child table. I have *THREE* PHP MySQL books, and so far cannot figure out how to do this in a sensible way, which I understand should be an array. The array chapters and examples all give sample code that is completely useless for my purposes (generally the examples are of pre-determined data, like tires and spark plugs and oil cans in an automotive catalog, and how to print them out of the array into a web page). Me, I'm trying to take fresh input from the user, put it into an array somehow, and have a loop (that I don't know how to write yet), generate a childID for each child in turn, and enter each child's information in turn into the database, keyed to that childID, and do so in an efficient way. (The inefficient way would be to, say, assume a maximum of 15 children, and, not using an array, then have the script ask, Does child #1 exist in the form? Yes? Then create its user ID; now enter its data in the database. Does child #2 exist? Hardly good program design. Even I know that, and I can't program my way out of paper bag (I'm an HTML/CSS guy, not a programmer. Yet.) And, this should be an associative array, not a numerically indexed one, since other people who probably won't be programmers will need to be able to look at this down the road and understand precisely what it does with what data and why. The other issue would be how to create the child form so that it only has the number of fields required for the number of children they say they have. The whole for and each loop construction stuff is very, very fuzzy in my head, in the absence of good examples. PS: AFTER registration and login, if people want to be able to edit this info, e.g. to add a new child in the family, there needs to be a form that will load all of their existing family data and allow them to edit it. No problem. But is there a way with PHP to have the how many children do you have selector auto-reload the page with a new, empty field for an additional child, if they had 3 kids but go to this profile editing form and change it to say 4 kids? I could do this with Javascript, but if PHP itself can do it, that would be cool. I suspect that without JS, the best I can do is either a) always have a blank child field just in case (but what if they just had twins?; not such a great solution) or b) allow them to edit everything so far entered into the DB, and if they change the number of kids have the form come back after they submit it, with a new line of form fields for a new child and a note at the top to add the new child's info. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Question on functions
Or you can use superglobal variable $GLOBALS that is array containing
all GLOBAL variables. This variable is superglobal thus does not need to
be declared global using 'global $GLOBALS;' statement. Works anywhere.
function database() {
... $GLOBALS['array'][0], $GLOBALS['array'][1] ...
}
elixon
Tip: I recommend to not use GLOBALS for this type of data. Better use
function parameters - function database($host, $user, $pwd, $db) {...}
It will save you time when your application grows and starts clashing
with other global variables or third party pieces of code ;-)

have these 2 statements that set a default value
(shown here as 0 in the event one of the two elements

only works correctly if I've set both elements)
$Ind = 0;

Re: [PHP] Shell Script error

Its a simple script
$_SERVER['utilizador']='user';
$_SERVER['pass']='pass';

$_SERVER['db_name']='c:/path/dbname.fdb';
Why are you using the $_SERVER array? This is supposed to provide
information regarding the web server environment, such as headers,
script and path locations, and other items in the CGI specifications; it
shouldn't be used for storing application data.
In addition, it may or may not be available on the command line, which
could be causing the issue you're seeing.
If you simply need a global array... set up an array and then initialize
it in your functions/classes using the global keyword. Alternately,
$_ENV might be a better place to store this information.
include_once('DB.php');
$dsn=ibase://.$_SERVER['utilizador'].:.$_SERVER['pass'].@.$_SERVER['host']./.$_SERVER['db_name'];

Tip: I recommend to not use GLOBALS for this type of data. Better use
function parameters - function database($host, $user, $pwd, $db) {...}
It will save you time when your application grows and starts clashing
with other global variables or third party pieces of code ;-)

Jason, How would I do that ? Care to share a short
exmaple ?
A simplistic pseudo-code version:
$sql = SELECT blah WHERE 1;
if ($something = selected) {
$sql .= AND something;
}
...
...
$sql .= ... rest of query;
Anyway, someone has already posted a more detailed example.

Subject: [PHP] Help: Database Search
I am creating a database search form and results.
Running into a problem though.
I have two form elements, both that are fed by tables
that have int values (1, 2 , etc)
my sql statement is such:
SELECT vendorjobs.PostStart, vendorjobs.JobTitle,
vendorjobs.Industry, vendorjobs.VendorID,
vendorjobs.LocationCity, vendorjobs.TaxTerm FROM
vendorjobs WHERE vendorjobs.Industry = '$Ind' AND
Date_Sub(Curdate(), interval '$Days' day) = PostStart
But if the user decides to only use one of the
elements, then I don't want the query to return
nothing because of the And in the where clause so I
have these 2 statements that set a default value
(shown here as 0 in the event one of the two elements
aren't selected: (Having no luck as the form still
only works correctly if I've set both elements)
$Ind = 0;
if (isset($_POST['Ind'])) {
$Ind = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_POST['Ind'] :
addslashes($_POST['Ind']);
}
$Days = 0;
if (isset($_POST['Days'])) {
$Days = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_POST['Days'] :

mySplit('example') == array('e', 'x', 'a', 'm', 'p' 'l' 'e') ?
Do you absolutely need it as an array? If indexing by character
would suffice, just use PHP's {} syntax:
$s = 'example';
echo $s{0};// e
echo $s{1};// x
// etc.
I am thinking about complexity.
How is a string implemented in PHP? A dequechar or a char* ?
Pass -- this looks like a question for PHP's developers, not the denizens of
php-general who are mostly just humble users. But I would expect a char*.
How does $s{n} acces the n-th char?
1. Does it go to the beginning of the string and then jump
from one char to
the next, counting the instances and return when the n-th ionstance
is reached?
2. Or does it jump to the n-th char directly?
Given the nature of PHP, I'd be astonished if it did 1. But again, this
looks more like a question for the PHP developers, not php-general.
Cheers!

If($_GET['getvar']){
$newvar = unserialize($_GET['getvar']);
//This does nothing

[PHP] Callback function as parameter

I want to wrote a function that receives another function as parameter
that will be used as a Callback. Well, better a bit of code than
thousand words:

...
function Traverse ( CallBack ) {
$rtn = CallBack ($this);
foreach ($this-Sons as $Son) {
$Son-Traverse ( CallBack );
}
return $rtn;
}
...
}
And later I'll do something as:
function CallBack ( $Node ) {
echo $Node-Name;
}
$MyTreeNode-Traverse ( CallBack );
...
Hope you understand what I'm trying to do. Can it be done as is or am I
on the wrong way?
Thx. a million in advance,

[PHP] should basic data validation go outside a function or inside?
hi.
call me stupid but i can't decide which option is better (actually don't
call me stupid because it will hurt my feelings and i might cry). and
having said that, maybe neither option is better than the other?
whatever the answer, i just want some outside input on this because for
some reason my brain is getting caught up on it and it's bothering me.
should basic data validation come before a function call or be performed
within the function?
example of validation outside the function:
?php
if(is_numeric($this-id) !empty($this-id))
{
$new_number = my_function($this-id);
}
else
{
$new_number = false;
}
?
example of validation inside the function:
?php
function my_function($number)
{
if(is_numeric($number) !empty($number))
{
// perform some calculations
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
$new_number = my_function($this-id)
?
thanks,
chris.

[PHP] Copyright law, how to protect your investment, how to protect your work... Was - RE: [PHP-DB] Please point me in the right direction.......
I'm surprised I havn't seen this question come up before (might have just missed it) but it's an excellent question so forgive the crossposting as it's extremely relevant to coders and those purchasing services of coders. Anyone who's gotten married and hired a wedding photographer is probably familiar with the idea of You can't make your own reprints, the photos are owned by the photographer. What kind of BS is that eh? It was your wedding! You paid the guy, right? I read a really interesting article talking about this a while ago and found out that they key words you want to use (if you want to own what you pay for) are the words work for hire. Usually this would be put in the contract or even on the check you use to pay for the services.. Signing this check constitutes the payee's acknowledgement that the services performed and the final output/art/photos/etc is considered a Work for Hire or something like that. It's not good enough to say All copy rights transfer to the client apparently. How I understand it is this... Any artist (musician, coder, author, painter, etc) has an implicit copyright on whatever they make as soon as they make it. While in the process of making something, it's considered a Work in progress and has additional rights under certain laws (see the Steve Jackson case with the Secret Service about them seizing electronic copies of a game manual that was in progress as a suspected guide to hacking. The electronic copies weren't protected back then whereas a printed copy would have been.. But they may be protected from seizure in legal cases these days... Not sure). Anyway... So you write this code and you own it. Regardless of whether someone paid you to write it. Unless of course you have an intellectual property thing with the company you work for (like I do.. It says whatever I create for the company... On company time... Is theirs). So all those websites and PHP scripts that you set up for people... They're yours. Unless the client specifies that it's a work for hire in your contract or on the check you gotta sign to get your bucks. Now from the client's side of things.. Because we don't always write our own stuff.. It's important to know about this as well so you can protect your investment. I don't know that a coder can legally demand that you stop using their code, but it means that if you want to re-sell what you had developed, you need to clear it with the coder first. A lot of people don't know this stuff and it's hard to find out when someone's pirating code that technically belongs to you.. But it's good to know what rights you do have. Doing a quick search on Yahoo for work for hire and copyright, I found a TON of sites that seem to cover the subject. I don't have time to read them, but at a glance, some of these sounded like good things to check up on: http://www.weblawresources.com/Work-For-Hire-Clause.htm http://www.gigalaw.com/articles/2000/loc-2000-02.html http://www.copylaw.com/new_articles/wfh.html http://repositories.cdlib.org/boaltwp/55/ http://www.keytlaw.com/Copyrights/wfhire.htm http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html http://www.music-law.com/workforhire.html Hope this helps and maybe informs a few people. You can ask me questions if you want, but this is literally all I know about the subject. You're better off reading up on the sites above (and Googling for others) and talking to a copyright lawyer about the matter if you want more details.

[PHP] Re: Callback function as parameter
* Francisco M. Marzoa Alonso [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I want to wrote a function that receives another function as parameter
that will be used as a Callback. Well, better a bit of code than
thousand words:
class TreeNode {
...
function Traverse ( CallBack ) {
$rtn = CallBack ($this);
foreach ($this-Sons as $Son) {
$Son-Traverse ( CallBack );
}
return $rtn;
}
...
}
And later I'll do something as:
function CallBack ( $Node ) {
echo $Node-Name;
}
$MyTreeNode-Traverse ( CallBack );
...
Hope you understand what I'm trying to do. Can it be done as is or am I
on the wrong way?
Two ways to do it:
1) Pass a string that is the callback function's name; then call it a
dynamic variable function:
function Traverse($callback)
{
$rtn = $callback($this);
...
}
2) Use a PHP callback pseudotype (http://php.net/pseudo-types):
function Traverse($callback)
{
// Calls the callback with $this as its argument:
$rtn = call_use_func($callback, $this);
...
}
Callbacks can be either a string containing a function name or an array
with the first element either a class name or object reference and the
second argument a method name (the first does a static method call, the
second an object method call).

[PHP] Programmatic Browser Rendering Engine?
Please Cc: me, as it's been quite some time since I posted 50 emails per day to this list... :-^ I'm interested in anybody's experience, good or bad, in what I am naively coining as a Programmatic Browser Rendering Engine: In an ideal world, it would be a PHP function definition not unlike this: bool imagesurfto(resource image, string url, [int width, int height]); This function surfs to the given URL, as if a browser window the dimensions (imagesx, imagesy) of image were opened to that URL, and places in image a representation of what the user would see if they surfed to that site. If width and height are provided, the surfing is done as if the browser window were the provided width and height, and the result is then scaled to fit into image. Example: ?php $image = imagecreatetruecolor(800, 600); imagesurfto($image, 'http://php.net'); header(Content-type: image/jpeg); imagejpeg($image); ? This displays what a user would see surfing to the PHP home page, if their browser window was open to 800x600. ?php $image = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 300); imagesurfto($image, 'http://php.net'); header(Content-type: image/jpeg); imagejpeg($image); ? This displays the same image as the first example, only scaled down to half-size. In my case, I have a GUI to admin a web-site by adding links, and I want to give the user some Interface Feedback that the URL they have typed as a destination for their link looks like what they expect. If this is all known technology and everybody is already doing it, please tell me what everybody else has decided is the correct term for this, as I've got No Clue. :-) I'm also very very very open to other ideas how to achieve my goal: The user should see an image of what the link goes to, so they will notice if it's not the right URL, as they edit/review their link choices. This could be useful in sites that allow administrators maintain a Links Page semi-automatically. It could be particularly useful these days now that domain squatters and speculators are taking over every expired domain and throwing a bunch of advertisement/pay-per-click links on them. Just checking that a link is valid is no longer Good Enough to know that you are linking to what you want to link to. But that's only one portion of the problem I want to address, so keeping an eye on domain expiration records would solve this case, but not the more general issue. And, of course, if you somehow magically allowed another optional argument of which browser to use... Wow! I could visually compare side-by-side the images of what my layout looks like on all the browsers? Sign me up! Okay, so this is probably NOT do-able. But the rest doesn't seem like it should be that tricky... Hm. Does a frame allow a scaling factor? Might actually make me want to use frames [shudder] if they do. PS If somebody familiar with, say, Mozilla, were to create a PHP function such as I described above, you'd have instant fame and glory.

I would do the validation inside the function. This avoids repeating the validation everywhere the function is called. It also makes the function more self-contained. It expects a certain input and complains, or returns false, if it doesn't get it. Brad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Re: chmod difficulties...
Oh I see. I tried a different experiment through the telnet and I noticed I
get this error if I use the wrong password. So, I get the impression that
it is a timing issues or something because I may be sending out the password
too early or too late... Sigh!! More work for me Boy!!

RE: [PHP] php mail() error
Hi, Problem is realted to your smtp server. Make sure it allowed outgoing mail without authenctication. You must also set a header in fourth parameter of mail function, it is good practice and can save you from some basic indentification problems. In windows you can set default send mail from in php.ini Try Mail([EMAIL PROTECTED],test subject,test body,from:[EMAIL PROTECTED]); If it fails contact your ISP.

RE: [PHP] Array to $_GET variable
Hi,
Yes it is a good idea to store this value in $_SESSION array.
$_GET value sometime (depend on php setting) add slashes to all values,
Those slashes will create the problem at the time of unserialization.
Doing urlencode and decode also can be help full but in my view
$_SESSION are best way to manage this as sometime value may be too long
to store in $_GET variable.
Do You get any error on unserialization?

Subject: [PHP] Array to $_GET variable
I am trying to cache a database recordset so users can sort, etc without
hitting the database everytime. I'm using ADODB to access a MSSQL
database.
$s = SELECT id, part, description FROM parts\n;
$r = $db-Execute($s);
$parts = array(id=array(),part=array(),desc=array())
while(!$r-EOF){
array_push($parts['id'],$r-fields[0]);
array_push($parts['part'],$r-fields[0]);
array_push($parts['desc'],$r-fields[0]);
$r-MoveNext();
}
// print_r($parts) displays array data.
Here's what I'm doing:
$v = serialize($parts);
echo a href=\{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?getvar=$v\Link/a\n;
If($_GET['getvar']){
$newvar = unserialize($_GET['getvar']);
//This does nothing
echo $newvar;
print_r($newvar);
}
Am i missing something very simple? Should I make the array a $_SESSION
variable, or how do others cache a recordset?

I am thinking about complexity.
How is a string implemented in PHP? A dequechar or a char* ?
char * in a zval (and you really shouldn't use dequechar, given the
existance of string)
How does $s{n} acces the n-th char?
1. Does it go to the beginning of the string and then jump
from one char to
the next, counting the instances and return when the n-th ionstance
is reached?
2. Or does it jump to the n-th char directly?
I haven't benchmarked it, but I would assume strings derefing is
signficantly faster than arrays, as arrays in php are actually hashtables,
while $a{5} is just a straight deref.
