UTF-8 is a charset, not a Content-type.
A quick test shows that the HTTP header output from Apache would
contain:
Content-Type: UTF-8
The correct way - if one wants utf-8 as charset - is:
header(Content-Type: index/html; charset=utf-8);
Hi All,
yes, I've tried that as well, with no success. As I've stated, people,
the static J renders fine, just not the dynamic stuff. Cheers.

Hi All,
actually, if I add this,
header(Content-Type: index/html; charset=utf-8);
as suggested, firefox prompts to download the page, instead of just
displaying the page.
You have chosen to open
productdetails.php
which is a : PHP file
from: http://localhost/
What should firefox do with this file?
Open with Browse..

Weird, what's with that. Cheers.

[PHP] Project ZNF: Struts-like MVC framework
Hi, my name is Alessandro Rossini and I want to let you know the launch of a new project called ZNF. The goal of this project is to provide an open source framework for building PHP5 enterprise web applications. It's based on the Apache Struts project of the Apache Software Foundation, available at http://struts.apache.org/. This is not the first attempt to rewrite the Struts implementation, or part of it, in PHP, but after spending a lot of time studying existing open source frameworks, like Phrame, PHPMVC, Struts4PHP, Seagull and Vida we decided to reimplement a brand new framework from scratch for many reasons. First of all, all the mentioned frameworks, except Vida, are written in PHP4 and we believe that its object engine (Zend Engine 1) is too limited for developing enterprise level web application. At the same time the code we analyzed is written without a rigorous approach (coding standards, compliance to W3C standards, output of notice/warnings, lack of documentation/examples). Last but not least frameworks claiming to be a porting of Struts have made no code optimization during the porting from J2EE to PHP. ZNF is free software released under GNU/LGPL license, the official ZNF home page is at http://znf.zeronotice.com/. You will find the main package, a PEAR compatible package and the developer's guide. The project has been developed by me and Graziano Liberati, we're searching for comments, feedback, bug signaling and best of all new developers. Any kind of contribution will be appreciated, if you find the project interesting join us!

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP bug within multi. dimensional arrays?
Matthew Weier O'Phinney wrote:
* Merlin [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Hi there,
I am outputting an multidim. array. That works fine, except one thing. The first
letter of the value inside dimension 1 always gets printed.
For example:
I fill the arrays:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$cat[$row-main_id][name]= $row-main_name;
$cat[$row-main_id][$row-sub_id][name] = $row-sub_name;
}
First off, if you're creating associative arrays, you should quote the
keys:
$cat[$row-main_id]['name'] = $row-main_name;
If you don't do so, PHP assumes you're using a constant value for the
key name.
Then I output them:
foreach ($cat AS $maincat){
echo $maincat[name].':';
Quote your keys!
foreach($maincat AS $subcat){
You do realize that the above will also loop over the index 'name',
right?...
echo $subcat[name].$br;
and since it does, the first element in that array is 'name', which
isn't an array, but a string. Since the 'name' constant isn't defined,
it will interpret that as 'true', or 1, and so it takes the first
character of that string.
I think you'll find the 'name' constant evaluates to FALSE, which in turn
casts to zero, which will give you the first element of the given array,
but as you pointed out its a string not an array so you get the first
char (because php allows array-like access to the individual chars in
a string) ... if it had evaluated to TRUE you would be getting the second
char.
the rest of your explaination is spot on.
}
echo $br;
}
Which does result in:
Europe:E
Germany
UK
North America:N
US
CA
As you can see I get the extra letters N and E. Is this an php error or did I do
something wrong?
So, what you should probably do is create an additional layer in your
multi-dimensional array for the subcategories, and have it of the form
sub_id = sub_name:
$cat[$row-main_id]['subs'][$row-sub_id] = $row-sub_name;
Then loop over that:
foreach ($cat as $main_cat) {
echo $maincat['name'] . :\n;
foreach ($maincat['subs'] as $sub_id = $sub_name) {
echo $sub_name$br; // could also use $sub_id here if
// desired
}
}

[PHP] Telling users and machines apart
Hi there, I am getting more and more emails through my webforms submited by bots. It looks like some sites liky yahoo are placing an image into their forms and the human has to enter a code visible on the image to submit the form. After some googling I found captcha, but I do not like the images. Do you know if there is a class available for PHP which does create the image and does parts of the handling? That seems like a common task to me. Maybe someone else already implemented such thing and can recommend.

You might find this helpful: http://phpsec.org/articles/2005/text-captcha.html It uses an image, and there are valid complaints against such. Of course, you could also argue that CAPTCHA has very little to do with security, and I'd have to agree. :-) Other approaches include asking a simple question that any user will know and throttling requests from the same client to restrain the scope of the problem.

Re: [PHP] The goto discussion on the Internals List
I agree 100% with Greg's comments for the goto() / ifsetor() discussion on the internals list. As far as speed goes if the dev team knew of ways to improve specific parts of the codebase (while maintaining the rest of the features available in PHP) then I'm confident they would make that change. There was one comment on the internals list that perhaps the documentation should have a big fat red warning label that says DO NOT USE THIS UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I guess the developers assume users actually read the manual, but I think this list has proved time and again that end users don't do this. ;) This is especially true for newbies (i.e. the ones most likely to get burned by using goto() all over their code). PHP-dev team: at the moment you are supplying me with 95% of the features that I need with a base installation.

RE: [PHP] Displaying an Outlook Calendar on a webpage using PHP
Sorry, wasn't able to test this when I got home. But to clearify, when you use COM, it's loading Outlook (as you've seen) and then talking directly to it. So you don't need an exchange server to make it work. Try tracing through the code and see where it's failing. And nothing's showing up when you do View source (I know you said it's continuously running but curious what happens if you stop the page load and see what's been output)? Have you tried running the script via command line? I'd be curious to see how far the script gets for you before it bombs out. It might be trying to tell Outlook to do something and just hanging (hence the perpetual loading in your browser) which is why I'm wondering how far it gets and what happens if you run it via command-line. More info would definitely be appreciated. -TG = = = Original message = = = Still no luck I am afraid. Same thing happens - it kicks off an instance of Outlook.exe on the server, but the page never loads, it just stays blank with a never-ending progress bar. I thought it could be security related but have shared out my Calendar with default having reviewer access. I am using an Exchange server but don't want to follow the route of sharing Calendars and accessing them in Outlook. Is the problem with the script that it has to access an Exchange server to read the Calendar, even while Outlook is installed on the server and configured with the same profile?

Re: [PHP] The goto discussion on the Internals List
If there is a use for goto, that can cause certain tasks to be acomplished faster using goto, and that implementing goto in the ZE isn't too much work, then I don't see a problem with implementing it. I'm not totally sure why, but Zend used goto, in the Zend Engine(one used for php4) code for looping through opcodes. I'm sure zend saw some benefit in using goto's when they decided to use them in the ZE Backend. Goto has (I believe) been described as a method of shooting yourself in both feet at the same time. Maybe if there was an enable_expert_mode() command to enable expert mode for that page, or maybe a ?php_expert opening brace, that enable functionalty that is recommended for use only by experts. - Just a thought.

There was one comment on the internals list that perhaps the documentation should have a big fat red warning label that says DO NOT USE THIS UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I guess the developers assume users actually read the manual, but I think this list has proved time and again that end users don't do this. ;) This is especially true for newbies (i.e. the ones most likely to get burned by using goto() all over their code).

[PHP] How to execute local applications on the client
Hi, sorry if what I am asking makes no sense, but here it goes.. Some one has asked me to set a web page from within wich users could launch local applications. Those applications are allready installed in the client PC. The link on the web page would act as a simple link to start the application. This page would be something that resembles the windows desktop with all its links on it. My question is would it be possible to start in example word or excel from a link in a web page?

Absolutely nobody in this day and age advocated goto lineNumber. The
only use to have useful advantage is goto labelName and of course
that is where the labelName exists within the current execution scope.
A function call is not an acceptable replacement since you incure the
overhead of setting up the function and the stack. Contrast the
difference in speed between is_null( $foo ) and $foo === null.

PHP has never purported to be an OOP only language. It advocates both

Jason Sweat covered this at php|Tropics, using SimpleTest as the unit testing framework. I use phpt unit tests (developed for testing php itself, and used by the PEAR project for regression tests). The principles are the same regardless of framework, however. The fundamental problem is: your code may depend on the results of a DB operation -- it's primary purpose may even be to perform a DB operation. While you can test the code, you still need to test whether or not your code can successfully perform the DB operation as well. A common problem I find is that I'm building SQL on the fly -- and that process may build shoddy SQL. It may be building exactly what I designed it to do, but the RDBMS will never be able to actually utilize the SQL I build.

For example, you could use the following code for each search term (this function also accepts arrays, see http://php.net/str_replace): str_replace ($search_term, b$search_term/b, $body_text); - David -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] How to execute local applications on the client
Sort of. There are two ways to do this(that I can think of, and neither of them are too reliable. Consider this: how would you like if any random website, could run any program they liked on your computer? This could range from word/excel, to less amicable programs like ones that control your speakers/microphone, etc. Having that said, you can use nsiProcess(in netscape/gecko based browsers.), or wsh for MSIE. I'm not sure exactly how to do this. I just remember reading some code that needed this. On netscape/mozilla/gecko you'll have to tell the script to override the security preventing this(the user will be shown a dialog box, asking them to confirm this). I'm not sure what the situation is with MSIE, but expect to encounter some security issues. I don't know any examples for nsIProcess off-hand, but you can check out the PHUI Code for an example on doing this on MSIE.

Mea culpa. I use PHP on my machine all the time for running scripts, and so the line between server and workstation is often blurred.

RE: [PHP] Displaying an Outlook Calendar on a webpage using PHP
To be honest I am not sure where the code is failing - it is starting Outlook.exe on the server so I assume it is able to instantiate the COM application (I think that is what it is called!). If I stop the page load and do a 'view source' all I see is html/html and nothing else. The Outlook.exe process also remains running on the server and has to be killed with Task Manager. However, when run from the command line the script WORKS!!! What can that mean? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 8 June 2005 12:33 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Cc: Baiocchi, Justin (CSIRO IT, Armidale) Subject: RE: [PHP] Displaying an Outlook Calendar on a webpage using PHP Sorry, wasn't able to test this when I got home. But to clearify, when you use COM, it's loading Outlook (as you've seen) and then talking directly to it. So you don't need an exchange server to make it work. Try tracing through the code and see where it's failing. And nothing's showing up when you do View source (I know you said it's continuously running but curious what happens if you stop the page load and see what's been output)? Have you tried running the script via command line? I'd be curious to see how far the script gets for you before it bombs out. It might be trying to tell Outlook to do something and just hanging (hence the perpetual loading in your browser) which is why I'm wondering how far it gets and what happens if you run it via command-line. More info would definitely be appreciated. -TG -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
