[PHP] Regex help
I'm trying to save myself some time by extracting certain variables
from a string:
102-90 E 42 X 42 X 70 3/8
I've been testing with: http://www.quanetic.com/regex.php
and have been somewhat successful. Using this pattern:
/[0-9]{2,}( X| x|x )/
I have:
102-90 E [!MATCH!] [!MATCH!] 70 3/8
Ideally what I want to do is update the db table that holds these records.
ID: 1
Unit: 102-90 E 42 X 42 X 70 3/8
Panel: 42
Width: 42
Height: 70 3/8
$pattern1 = '/[0-9]{2,}( X| x|x )/';
$units = array of units above
foreach($units AS $unit){
preg_match($pattern1,$unit[1],$match);
print_r($match);
echo Panel: .$match[0];
}
The $match array is empty.
Actually looking at the data there are so many typos (imported from
Excel) that I will probably have to update by hand, but out of
curiosity now what would be a good regex for the info given?
Thanks,
Mike Smith

If this string is always in this format
xxx E panel X width X height
then you could try something like:
// Very much untested
$unit = '102-90 E 42 X 42 X 70 3/8';
$split1 = explode('E', $unit);
list($panel, $width, $height) = explode('X', $split1[1]);

I'm currently working with what you suggested, though the unit names
are not that consistent:
$vals = preg_split(' ?X? ',$unit[1]);
echo strong.$unit[1]./strongbr /\n;
echo Panel: .$vals[0].br /Width: .$vals[1].br /Height:

I have a script using some ftp functions that runs just fine on various server I have tested. Now that I've installed it om a customer's server, it ( obviously ) stopped working. claning the script to isolate the problem, I've discovered that the problem is on the ftp_nlist command that freezes the script execution for a lot ( and the machine too, like doing an heavy work ) and then returns an error ( false ). ftp_rawlist has the same problems. all the previous operations ( connect, login and chdir ) work without problems. any idea on where could I check for a solution? thank you, Giulio Cantoberon Multimedia srl http://www.cantoberon.it Tel. 06 39737052 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I would have to disagree with this. I've been on lots of 'public' mailing lists for quite a while and this is the first time I've ever seen a complaint of this nature. I really think the OP should have taken more care to read the mailing lists page on php.net before signing up. It clearly states that there are archives and that they are searchable. If privacy was a concern then these archives should have been checked to make sure they obscure email addresses. If there is any issue I think it's that the above mentioned web page does not make it clear that there are lots of archives in addition to those mentioned that php.net does not control. At any rate I don't see any need for php.net to implement a system for anonymising posts - that would be a huge waste of resources as a result of a single complaint out of what is probably many thousands of list members.

Nah, just having a senior moment. Since it is a query string issue I
converted the database (even though it is strictly a web database in this
case) to 'Oil Gas'. The query string sees the ampersand and doesn't show
so the DB is 'correct'. NOw it's just a case or urlencoding the value before
sticking it in the URL - that will protect the server from breaking off the
query condition/parameter at the point of the '' in 'Oil Gas'

Re: [PHP] ftp_nlist problem
When you do FTP its actually two TCP connections, a outgoing to port 21, and then a incoming. The most common problem with FTP is that the incoming connection gets blocked by a firewall or NAT. So most people use passive FTP where instead it makes two outgoing TCP connections. I think the directory listings are sent over this 2nd connection, so I would suggest your problem is that the incoming data connection is being blocked by a firewall on your server. Try to either use passive FTP or to change your firewall rules.

I'm actually in the process of doing the exact same thing! If you search on
the list you'll see some of my emails. But to help you out here's what I've
got so far. :)
Since you are dealing with such huge files you'll want to read them a little
at a time as to not to use too much system memory all at once. The fgets()
reads a file line by line. So you read a few lines and then process those
lines and then move on. :)
Hope this helps get you started!
// open log file for reading
if (!$fhandle = fopen($path.$log_file_name, r)) {
echo couldn't open $file_name for writing!;

I am having a problem with a an ampersand sign. I have a list of
things on a
page, in which one category is 'Oil Gas'. I store it in the
database as
'Oil amp; Gas'.
Don't.
The DATA to be stored in the database is 'Oil Gas'
When it's time to present it in a browser, and ONLY when it's time to
present it in a browser, use:
htmlentities('Oil Gas')
to make it suitable for HTML transport to the browser.
Here's why:
Suppose tomorrow you decide to do an RSS Feed, or export to another
database, or send that data somewhere OTHER than your browser.
Your amp; is *NOT* the raw data, and it's *NOT* what that other
technology might *want* for the encoding of
That other technology might not even WANT encoded in the first place.
Now, RSS might want - amp; for its encoding
But can you guarantee that tomorrow's technology will want that?
No.
Maybe tomorrow's next big thing will want - or perhaps it will
want - %#26 or maybe it will want - 'fnord-26' or maybe it won't
even need encoded, but it will need the character sequence 'fnord'
encoded.
The DATA is 'Oil Gas'
'Oil amp; Gas' is merely a presentation / encoding of that data for
one (or more) particular (currently popular) transport mechanisms.
Encoding the data for today's usage in your orginal source data is
sheer folly, of the same magnitude that gave us Y2K.
You're making trouble for yourself long-term, and probably confusing
yourself short-term.
RAW data goes in your database: 'Oil Gas'
When the category is clicked the query string shows
just an
ampersand, i.e.
Filter=ProcessFilterKey=Oil%20%20GasOrder=ApplicationDirection=ASCcomm
ents= and therefore just shows as an '' and the query only sees
'Oil'.
Shows where?
Until you tell us what showed you where, we can't even begin to
guess what is going on -- because WHERE you saw it changes everything.
There are all manner of potential sources of your vision here.
What you see in the browser, and what you see in View Source and
what you see when your mouse goes over a link are all different, and
probably all different from what you would see in the 'mysql' monitor
program.
If View Source showed you that, then it's probably a problem.
If you saw it printed out to your browser, it may or may not be a
problem.
If it's in the ToolTip from mouse-over of the link, it's may or may
not be a problem.
The browsers try to hide icky details from normal users, and that
means the the amp; will often get converted before you see it.
The fact that the link doesn't work means that it obviously *IS* a
problem, of course, so exactly where you saw it is somewhat moot,
since you shouldn't have put amp; in your database, and after you fix
that, the solution will probably entail fixing whatever is causing the
amp; to get lost anyway.
I guess that I am too tired to deal with this or the answer would
come to
mind immediately. Can someone drop kick me in the right direction?
Ah. An even MORE important reason for not doing what you did.
Part of your PROBLEM is you've put amp; in the database instead of
So you think it's escaped already.
Well, it is... For HTML display, it is escaped.
It is *NOT* escaped for a URL.
urlencode() is for URL-escaping.
htmlentities() is for HTML-escaping.
You've done htmlentities() on your data, not urlencode() on your
output of your data.
What *SHOULD* be done is this:
1. Get the original, un-corrupted (un-escaped) data: 'Oil Gas'
$value = 'Oil Gas'; // from db.
Note lack of amp; here!
Your database has no business [*] keeping the HTML-encoding of its
data internally.
2. Since that datum is being passed as an argument in a URL,
urlencode() it:
$value_url = urlencode($value); //prepare for use in URL
$value_url will now most likely contain %26, and the whole - amp;
problem will be MOOT.
But you never know for sure WHAT data will be in there, so...
3. Make the URL:
$url = Filter= . urlencode('Process') .
FilterKey=$value_urlOrder= . urlencode('Application') . order=
. urlencode('ASC');
NOTE: Just to be pedantic, and to drive the point home, I've
urlencode()d every other data element in the URL, even though the
output of urlencode() in all these cases *happens*, by sheer luck, to
be the same as the input, so you don't need to encode the data.
I am as guilty as the next guy of taking shortcuts and not
URLencode()ing anything that is 'hard-wired' in PHP source.
But if it's coming from your database, or worse, the user, you'd damn
well better urlencode() each value element you are putting into the
URL.
4. *NOW* you are about to dump that URL into your HTML as the HREF= of
a link. At *THAT* point, and *ONLY* at that point, you want to escape
it for HTML usage:
$url_html = htmlentities($url); //escape for HTML
Your URL now has amp; for each separating the key/value pairs in
the GET args.
That's what HTML *wants* though.

However, his rant does present a real issue. Forcing people to use

and
every ABCDEFGH is a registered user who's email address is known.
I would have to disagree with this. I've been on lots of 'public'
mailing lists for quite a while and this is the first time I've ever
seen a complaint of this nature. I really think the OP should have
taken
more care to read the mailing lists page on php.net before signing up.
It clearly states that there are archives and that they are
searchable.
If privacy was a concern then these archives should have been checked
to
make sure they obscure email addresses.
I think the anon-XXX solution presented is far too complex / overhead.
The problem, however, is real.
At last count, over a year ago, pre-spam-filter, I'm getting 10,000
emails PER DAY.
~9,900 of them are spam.
I daresay somebody like Rasmus gets WAY more than that, though he may
never have bothered to check the pre-spam-filter number :-)
I am confident that all the PHP net archives listing my email about
50,000 times are a source of a not insignificant portion of these.
And this is certainly not the first time this issue has come up, not
even the first on this list, much less on all the lists I'm on.
Would it really be that hard for the PHP team to push archivists to
use PHP to obfuscate email addresses?
Something as simple as:
$html = str_replace('@', '#64;', $html);
should not be too onerous to request of archivists.
Last I checked, the spammers had enough harvest yield from
un-obfustcated email addresses that even THAT admittedly simplistic
stupid obfuscation was, in reality, effective.
[Google for, errrm, Netscape email obfuscation trials or similar and
you'll find the study, probably]
Obviously, not EVERY archive is going to get obfuscated overnight.
Obviously, the PHP Team cannot be held responsible for irresponsible
archivists.
Obviously, the savvy user will subscribe with a throw-away address or
have significant filtering in-place with the address they subscribe
with.
But, really, do you want to side with the spammer or the victim?
Just how tricky would it be to publish an archivists' Standard that
recommends, perhaps even requires someday, a reasonable attempt at
email obfuscation given current technology?
This is not about privacy per se -- It's about reducing the sheer
amount of automated CRAP flooding our networks / Inboxes.
If some random real person out there gets my email and sends me
something, and I objected on the grounds of privacy, that would be
silly.
But I don't think it's unreasonable to complain, and I hereby add my
voice to that complaint, that the PHP archives *ARE* being harvested
by spammers, and simple effective solutions are available, yet are not
implemented, and probably should be, to the degree that readers of
this post are capable of influencing such decisions.
If you are a PHP mailing list archivist, *PLEASE* obfuscate my email
address! Thank you.
PS 100% agree the legalese sig is ridiculous. That's probably not his
fault, anyway.

You'll have to test on your hardware to confirm, but between:
1. Low-level disk IDE buffer
2. Operating System disk cache buffers
3. C code of PHP source disk cache buffers
your PHP 10-line buffer in an array
is probably more overhead, and much more complicted code to maintain,

This is harder to imagine how, but would PROBABLY be tied to some not-so-common DLL you have enabled in php.ini Take out the various extensions and re-start Apache and re-test to eliminate extension DLLs. 3) Something else.

Re: [PHP] question about compositing objects
On Thu, January 12, 2006 4:13 pm, jonathan wrote:
I have a class which creates another class within it such as:
class Loc{
public function outputInfo()

In my main page can I access the $map object like this:
$loc=new Loc();
$loc-map-publicMapFunction();
I thought I would be able to but it doesn't seem like it.
As others have noted, you probably want to initialize $loc-map to
$map inside the function.
However, you should also consider what happens if...
?php
//Assume classes are defined, but NOTHING else.
$loc = new Loc();
$loc-map-publicMapFunction();
?
At this point, $loc-map has *** NO VALUE *** because you didn't call
outputInfo() yet.
So you will get a NOTICE (if you have E_ALL cranked up, as you should,
though it's not the default) and then an ERROR about calling a member
function on a non-object, and your whole project/script/page comes
crashing down around your ears.
You should *PROBABLY* design your code in such a way that this can
NEVER happen.
If this is a throw-away one-day hack, then ignore me. If this code is
expected to live longer than a week, pay attention :-)
One solution is to initialize the -map in the constructor, so that if
you get a valid Loc object, you have a valid map object.
/* PHP4 */
class Loc(){
var $map = null;
function Loc(){
$this-map = new Map();
}
}
/* PHP5 */
class Loc(){
var $map = null;
function __construct(){
$this-map = new Map();
}
}
/* Portable? for both 45 ??? */
class Loc(){
var $map = null;
function init(){
$this-map = new Map();
}
function Loc(){ $this-init();}
function __construct(){ $this-init();}
}
Disclaimer: I never use objects at all in PHP, so am not 100% certain
of this last example...
If you simply cannot make a valid Map() object in the constructor,
because there are other complex dependencies that cannot be resolved,
you should probably make the $loc-map attribute a PRIVATE variable,
and create a map() function to read that, so that you have to do:
$map = $loc-map();
$map-privateMapFunction();
The reason for the extra layer of the function is that you can include
error-checking in the Loc::map() function to:
1) Error out if $loc-map is NULL/invalid
2) Automagically create a Map() if $loc-map is NULL/invalid
3) Control the number of Map objects created, so you only have *ONE*
per Loc, and don't waste RAM by endlessly re-creating Map objects
.
.
.
The Loc::map() function will create a check-point for you to write
gate-keeper code to ensure that everything is kosher to to provide a
more robust body of code.
The down-side is, more code to maintain and an additional layer of
complexity for the end user.
So, if you CAN make a Map() in the Loc constructor, that's
easier/simpler.
If not, a public Map function for a private attribute is clean.
Just tossing Map objects into the map attribute willy-nilly is fine
for quickie hacks, but little else.
The fact that there is a *TON* of badly-written code out there, all
over the 'net, and in steady heavy use today, that does exactly what
I'm telling you not to do, does not invalidate this post. :-)

However, in your post you described the solution as either Javascript *or* PHP when the best solution is both. What I was pointing out is that while Javascript is a better solution from a usability point of view, not doing the validation with PHP is dangerous regardless of whether the length is validated using Javascript or not. I certainly don't believe that PHP is the total solution for most situations, but when it comes to input validation you *need* to do validation on the server-side regardless of what validation you do with Javascript since you have no control over whether the Javascript gets executed. This sounds almost like the old DB vs. Application logic debate I see on several mailing lists; whether you should store more logic in the DB Server through triggers or through application logic. My point on this is that it boils down to how important that data is.

- 5.0.5 was released on Sep 06, 2005.

I'd tend to go with Richard's suggestion. You say you are worried
about resources and memory? well when you load those 10 lines of
code where do they go? memory.
if resource and memory is an issue, there are a couple of options i
would suggest, being that the bottleneck is really disk I/O and cpu
usage.
1) inside the loop (while reading one line at a time) do a
usleep(), this will prevent heavy disk access and let the cpu
catchup with processing
2) 'nice' the application. run php under nice and give its cpu
usage a lower priority of cpu processing time.
If you want to test how usleep and the 'nice' thing works here are
some sample scripts to benchmark with:
// cpu usage try with and without nice
while (1) {}
vs.
while(1) { usleep(500); }
//diskio, try with and without nice
$fp = fopen('/var/log/messages', 'r') or die('boo');
while(1) {
$line = fgets($fp);
fseek($fp, 0, SEEK_SET);
}
vs.
$fp = fopen('/var/log/messages', 'r') or die('boo');
while(1) {
$line = fgets($fp);
fseek($fp, 0, SEEK_SET);
usleep(500);
}
Like Richard said, there are much easier ways to make the app less
resource intensive instead of trying to battle io between memory
and cpu, within php.
