Hi, i have a very strange example of code. Maybe you know where my
mistake could be.
I've got an index.php with a few div's and a short php code, like:
divecho $_SESSION['view']-getContent();/div
The view is in every case one of my view objects. And there's the problem.
In my specific case $_SESSION['view'] is of class NoLoggedUserView,
which of course extends View. The View class containts a few public
methods, namely
getTitle()
getHeadline()
getSelection()
getSubselection()
getContentHeadline()
getContent()
getFunctions()
The child class NoLoggedUserView contains only the
getContent()-method, which provides a login window.
But of course I still call all the other methods like getTitle() in my
index.php.
Until yesterday I encountered no problems with that, but today, if i
call $noLoggedUserView-getTitle() in the index.php i get an empty
document. No error, no warning, no notice ... nothing. The page stays
the same and doesn't change. Even the timestamp I print out to check if
there has been a change, doesn't change.
I tested a few things:
The page loads fine and without any problems, if the public method
getTitle() is written in the NoLoggedUserView and the method returns a
stupid string. If getTitle() in NoLoggedUserView looks like this
did you try letting the parent class method just return a string constant?
The method in parent class just returns a string constant. I'm at home right
no, but as far as I remeber it looks pretty much like this:
public function getTitle() { //in parent class View
return 'My Company:';
}
public function getTitle() {
return parent::getTitle();
}
there is the same problem as before. I get an empty page, no changes are
made.
My current version of getTitle() looks like this:
current version in NoLoggedUserView I presume, whats the definition
in the parent class?
yes, in no logged user view.
See the parent class above.
public function getTitle() {
//return 'NoLoggedTitle'; // works great
//return parent::getTitle(); // no changes are made
what if there is no parent?
there is, because it's just a test to see if i get this working. until
yesterday i just called $_SESSION['view']-getTitle() and since this was an
instance of View the method should be at least available in View.
$classname = get_parent_class($this);
$v = new $classname();
now just imagine if: $classname === false
see message above, it's just to make the page working.
return $v-getTitle(); // works great
}
And again, this strange thing works.
So what could cause php to act like this? Any ideas or suggestions or at
least assumptions?
Please, I really don't know where to search the mistake..
use a shed load of echo(), print_r() and/or var_dump() to see what stufff is
and how far along the execution gets - I do it now and again when I have
bumped into another segfault.
i.e. do stuff like
echo 1,br;
// your code here
echo 2,br;
// your code here
echo 3,br;
I would like to do so, but the page doesn't even load a blank page on error.
the page stays the same as it was before, so if do reload nothing happens, just
as if the page doesn't get compiled or so.
but then again, if i change the page, so it doesn't need to call any parent::
stuff, it compiles and loads without any errors.
so it looks like the page isn't even compiled when calling parent:: ...

Hi,

PHP is by no means cleaver enough to read your mind as to what you want it to
do.
If you want to pass pointers instead of strings then do as this
function one($buffer)
{
#processing, return true/false based on success, put result in buffer
}
function two($buffer)
{
#processing,...
}
Then do like this:
$variable='input value';
if(one($variable))
if(two($variable))
echo Result: $variable;

Of course you can have newlines in your email message, just make sure that any user input is received through POST, and that you run a regular expression to validate that only one email has been specified in the recipient field (whatever you call that on your form I don't know) to ensure that it is only sent to one person. Other than that you ought to be pretty secure. Make sure that the user cannot enter any type of header information in the beginning of their message, so, for instance you could do what you did: $usermailmsg = This is the information you submitted.\n // ...

Re: [PHP] Error with DOMDocument-saveXML()
Hi
bFatal error/b: Method Document::__toString() must return a string
value in b/srv/www/localhost/htdocs/db/index.php/b on line
b140/bbr /
That's just what it says, check your program flow.
You overrided the tostring function and somewhere in that new function you
jump out of it because of a flag that is set, and thus not returning
anything, which is equal to return null.
I've not checked my E_NOTICE's yet.. actually not quite sure how to turn
One way would be to use .htaccess files, but I have included in all my
programs (read sites) a mechanism for this. Have one file where you keep all
the varialbes that you need accross the different pages (scripts), and then
on all your files, put this on the top:
if(!(defined('GLOBALS_LOADED')))
require_once 'scripts/globals.php'; #be sure to set relative path to
globals
if(defined('DEBUG_LVL'))
error_reporting(DEBUG_LVL);
else
error_reporting(0);
Then in your file globals.php you need to have at least this:
?php
define('GLOBALS_LOADED',true);
define('DEBUG_LVL',E_ALL);
?
Once you go to production, all you need to do is change the E_ALL to 0 and all
the pages follow suit...

[PHP] Problems with new PHP install
Since I was having so much difficulty getting PHP (with libxml2) installed on RH9, I decided to take the advice given by several people and use Fedora Core 4 instead, which I get installed w/o difficulty. So next is Apache/PHP and I download Apache version 2.0.54 and PHP version 5.0.5. Following the instructions on the PHP site (http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php) exactly, I'm able to get both configured and installed w/o difficulty. I first test Apache by going to localhost to see if the server is running. It is. Then I modify the httpd.conf file as instructed at the above page by adding the LoadModule and AddType and then create a 'hello world' php script to make sure php is working. The problem I'm getting is when I access the page, it's showing me the actual php code and not the parsed result. I looked in the modules directory to see if the libphp5.so file is there and it is. I did notice something odd, though. In the httpd.conf file there are a large number of LoadModule lines for modules that are not in the modules directory. Could that be causing my problem? In any case, if someone could give me some pointers are to where I should concentrate my attentions in order to resolve this problem, I would be very appreciative! thnx, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Yea, gone offtrack. Not sure if it is just one element that is offtrack or more since this is only a simple testcase. I'll keep working on it. The funny things is most of the xml features doesn't fully cover our need so somebody had to do custom programming. The one at Pear isn't close enough and is a little bit primitive. I guess we're doing all what we can here. I found that keeping the script simple would greatly help as we move on to newer and newer version. I can't really upgrade to php5 since I have at least 5 websites running on the same version.

You overrided the tostring function and somewhere in that new function you
jump out of it because of a flag that is set, and thus not returning
anything, which is equal to return null.
I'd love to say that is possible however it's not.

As you can see there is nothing that could make it jump out. very straight
forward and all cases handled via else.
The line: return $this-Dom-saveXML(); is somehow returning null.

was when I didn't have much experience with php5 objects so it's very likely
that was just stupidity on my behalf.
Not played around with it too much since then however. So I guess nows a

Re: [PHP] Mixing PHP VBSCript
A real interesting challenge and when I first read it I thought the same thing, instead of using the short form of tags, using a more extended form such as script language= and so on, it should work, but then, Irealized that there is a lot going on outside of the code, such as parsing the incoming arguments of the POST or GET into either the $_REQUEST array or the Request.Form collection and, on the opposite site, the assembly of the output buffer. Even in the CGI version of the PHP interpreter there is no provision I am aware of to pipe either the request or the reply to any other interpreter down the line, nor do I think the ASP interpreter has a CGI version.How come you were able to do both a Response.Write and an echo and get them both streamed into the same browser, I can't figure out. If you manage to send headers from one or the other in any order it would be impressive, and if from both, I would appreciate it if you would warn me to sit down tight before you ever break the news. Other 'global' objects or arrays would also mess up. Sessions, cookies, etc, I can't imagine. Another issue would be sharing variables, calling functions or passing parameters. I am certain that should be impossible. A trick it should work, if you find any trouble with this is to do a sort of 'web service' with PHP which you can call from ASP, so you still leave ASP handling the user interface as I assume it does now, and you can request from a server running PHP (which might be the very same one) whatever the PHP one cannot provide.

[PHP] Question about Rasmus' 30 second AJAX Tutorial
Hi,
I did the Rasmus' 30 second AJAX Tutorial just for testing and everything
works fine, by the way... thanks Rasmus, for this and for all !!.
My little script have a single input and for every keystroke (calling the
javascript function with onkeyup) the value of the input is parsed by
another php script that just return the lenght of the string. So, if I start
typing the word hello, when i press the h key it displays 1, for ho it
displays 2 and so onvery simple, just for testing.
But (theres always a but!!) it seems that only work if I call the function
sndReq(); with onkeyup. If I call the function from a onsubmit it
returns...nothing!.
Then alert('response:'+http.responseText); it's EMPTY.
Im absolutely sure that the difference between the two scripts is that the
one that works is the onkeyup, and the one that not is the onsubmit.
So, anybody knows why this is happening?
Sorry about my english (I'm from the third world ;) )
Regards,
(from Argentina)
Federico.
I find a lot of this AJAX stuff a bit of a hype. Lots of people have
been using similar things long before it became AJAX. And it really
isn't as complicated as a lot of people make it out to be. Here is a
simple example from one of my apps. First the Javascript:
function createRequestObject() {
var ro;
var browser = navigator.appName;
if(browser == Microsoft Internet Explorer){
ro = new ActiveXObject(Microsoft.XMLHTTP);
}else{
ro = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
return ro;
}
var http = createRequestObject();
function sndReq(action) {
http.open('get', 'rpc.php?action='+action);
http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse;
http.send(null);
}
function handleResponse() {
if(http.readyState == 4){
var response = http.responseText;
var update = new Array();
if(response.indexOf('|' != -1)) {
update = response.split('|');
document.getElementById(update[0]).innerHTML = update[1];
}
}
}
This creates a request object along with a send request and handle
response function. So to actually use it, you could include this js in
your page. Then to make one of these backend requests you would tie it
to something. Like an onclick event or a straight href like this:
a href=javascript:sndReq('foo') [foo]/a
That means that when someone clicks on that link what actually happens
is that a backend request to rpc.php?action=foo will be sent.
In rpc.php you might have something like this:
switch($_REQUEST['action']) {
case 'foo':
/* do something */
echo foo|foo done;
break;
...
}
Now, look at handleResponse. It parses the foo|foo done string and
splits it on the '|' and uses whatever is before the '|' as the dom
element id in your page and the part after as the new innerHTML of that
element. That means if you have a div tag like this in your page:
div id=foo
/div
Once you click on that link, that will dynamically be changed to:
div id=foo
foo done
/div
That's all there is to it. Everything else is just building on top of
this. Replacing my simple response id|text syntax with a richer XML
format and makine the request much more complicated as well. Before you
blindly install large AJAX libraries, have a go at rolling your own
functionality so you know exactly how it works and you only make it as
complicated as you need. Often you don't need much more than what I
have shown here.
Expanding this approach a bit to send multiple parameters in the
request, for example, would be really simple. Something like:
function sndReqArg(action,arg) {
http.open('get', 'rpc.php?action='+action+'arg='+arg);
http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse;
http.send(null);
}
And your handleResponse can easily be expanded to do much more
interesting things than just replacing the contents of a div.

Hi,
I did the Rasmus' 30 second AJAX Tutorial just for testing and everything
works fine, by the way... thanks Rasmus, for this and for all !!.
My little script have a single input and for every keystroke (calling the
javascript function with onkeyup) the value of the input is parsed by
another php script that just return the lenght of the string. So, if I start
typing the word hello, when i press the h key it displays 1, for ho it
displays 2 and so onvery simple, just for testing.
But (theres always a but!!) it seems that only work if I call the function
sndReq(); with onkeyup. If I call the function from a onsubmit it
returns...nothing!.
Then alert('response:'+http.responseText); it's EMPTY.
Im absolutely sure that the difference between the two scripts is that the
one that works is the onkeyup, and the one that not is the onsubmit.
So, anybody knows why this is happening?
Aside from using ajax to clean the toilet once in a while I'm not really
into it. But I do wrangle out some javascript from time to time :) Why
are you using onsubmit? Wouldn't onclick work better?
Cheers,
Rob.

hi John Me thinks that was what I used. http://ca.php.net/strstr http://ca.php.net/stristr http://ca.php.net/strpos What's the difference? the ones ending 'pos' just return an integer position. The 'i' in these string manipulation functions generally means that the function is case-insensitive.

[PHP] File Upload Max Size
Hello everyone. I'm basically building a PHP FTP client app. This app connects to an FTP server and allows the user to edit/delete files/permissions, etc. I've gotten to the point where I have started to create a file upload feature. The problem I have is that PHP only allows a 2mb maximum file upload, while normal FTP allows a much larger file to be uploaded. This app will be for a server where the user does not have access to change any php.ini settings. I'm basically looking for a way to upload large files (if needed) through my PHP FTP client app. This 2mb file limit is killing me here. Is there any way to get around this? I'm using the PHP built in FTP functions to do all the backend work for the app. I don't imagine there is an FTP function to use that will allow larger uploads is there? Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I really need to upload larger files, and since it's going to an FTP site, there shouldn't be too many size restrictions.

You need to pass those get variables through a web server, otherwise
you're looking for a file called menu_render.php?menu_id=4format=xml
which doesn't exist.
Try:
$menu = file_get_contents(
'http://www.yoursite.com/yourpath/menu_render.php?menu_id=4format=xml' );
