What it does do is control the amount of text you display on a page so you can profitably surround it with advertising.

So, give them good dynamic design, a legible font, the ability to resize the type and ensure that the pieces are well-edited and written for easy reading in a browser. Guess I'm an iconoclast, but when I see an artificially paged article I look for the Print View link so I can read it all at once. Heresy! Maybe that's another reason for paging -- you get more hits on the site.

[PHP] Getting the array element
Hi again all,
Here my next PHP newbie question.
When I'm building an array as bellow. Is there any way I can get the left
element out of the array?
$salesperson = array();
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$salesperson[$row[1]] = '0';
}
If I write: echo $salesperson[$row[3]];
I get the value. I think you know what I mean?!

Re: [PHP] php script fails when run from cron

If your list of prefixes is likely to change at all (e.g. to add a port

$prefixes = array('hostname', 'mac', 'ip', 'port');
$new = array();
for ($i=0; isset($array[{$prefixes[0]}-$i]; ++$i):
foreach ($prefixes as $k=$pfx):

endforeach;

Like in the code bellow where I would like to remove AK and it's value. $salesperson = array( 'AK' = '1000', 'AT' = '1500', 'BT' = '2000' ); // Jonas -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Mail and hotmail
Best group member,
I am sending email to a hotmail thru PHP. When I send it like this it
arrives (in the junk mail, but it arrives):
mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'A nice subject', 'Some text');
It works well, but I want to change the FROM header so I do this:
mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'A nice subject', 'Some text', 'From: Peter
Lauri [EMAIL PROTECTED]');
This email does not arrive to the Hotmail inbox.
If I send to a regular email, like Google Email (gmail) or a regular POP3 it
arrives without problems.
Anyone who has experienced this problem with sending emails to Hotmail? And
how do you solve it?
Best regards,
Peter Lauri

Since you load it framewise. is there probably a problem with the loaded

Re: [PHP] Paged Results Set in MySQL DB with one result
At 11:51 AM 5/3/2006, Phillip S. Baker wrote: I have some articles stored in a MySQL DB. What I want is if the article is above a certain length in characters, to page article through a few pages for site readability. So I would want to print X number of words/characters. Save the where the pointer is, move on to the next page, and display the same amount and so on for as many pages as needed. Phillip, There's a fundamental problem with trying to slice text into resizable web pages the same way it's sliced on paper. Paper pages work because they're set in a fixed font size. When you change the ratio of font size to column width, the places where lines of text wrap changes. Because of the varying lengths of words, strings of words spill over to the next line in non-linear rates. Unless you use a fixed font size (boo, hiss) or you change the font size and the column width at exactly the same rate by sizing your layout in ems, your text columns are going to change in height (line-count) with font resizing. This means that the amount of text that fits on a page changes dynamically with browser events and cannot be predicted or controlled server-side by PHP -- unless you can accept a layout sized in ems both horizontally and vertically, which few people seem willing to do, or you force your readers to accept your choice of font size, which would be an ironic and depressing decision for a modern publisher to make. Here's a related problem: Say you calculate the number of words that can fit in N column inches and dish out that much text from your database, and let's say that the last line on the page is in mid-paragraph. When the user resizes their browser font, the word-wrap will change and suddenly the last line on the page will end halfway across the column even though it isn't the end of the sentence or the paragraph. In addition, all this means dynamically changing widows and orphans, also of concern to the serious typographer. As a final coup de grace, any calculation of words per line must take into account the metrics of the specific font being rendered, a practical impossibility when fonts are selected from the users' computers and not the publisher's. While PHP and MySQL can supply the raw text from the server, these issues beg for a client-size solution at the reader's end. My first choice of solution would be to size my columns in ems to allow the entire layout to zoom both horizontally and vertically with font-size, in which case your problem of how to extract contiguous text strings again becomes relevant. And that's trivial, really, compared to the algorithm you'll have to write to predict how many words will wrap into a given number of lines when you can't even predict the font being used. You could make the problem much more solvable by dishing up whole paragraphs only, and learning to accept (nay, embrace!) the resultant variation in page-length.

I've just recently added it to my forms (for those that I find need it), in addition to the redirect method you outlined below. Those two combined seem to really go the distance in creating a reliable exchange of data between client and server, as well as a better experience for the user (since the form is capable of handling a larger set of error cases). Also, with regards to sending success/failure messages across the redirection of your forms, I'd recommend considering sessions for passing the data. It keeps your URLs clean, and allows you to send complex data a bit easier (IMHO).

Meaning, if you write a piece of code, you _must_ have a colleague double-check it and sign off on it. Then if a bug is discovered down the road, _both_ of you will be held responsible. This will do two things: 1. Ensure that code you write is readable. If someone else simply can't understand it or consider it too confusing, they can hand it back to you and say clean this up. 2. It increases the chance of catching bugs or weak code prcocesses. Also, develop/adopt specific coding standards (refer to PEAR's standards as a flavor), and the steps above will help adherence to that as well. I'm willing to say that those two techniques will make you sleep much sounder at night then just stuffing thousands of lines of code through some regex checker. Oh, plus some solid QA testing.

Re: [PHP] Echo a value from an arrays position
This may clarify - in php, integer and associate arrays are created
arbitrarily, ie keys can be numbers or strings. So, either create an array
like this:
array('1' = 'first element',
'2' = 'second element');
and call by the key!

I think you're correct. This is because PHP arrays are a mash-up
(as Jochem put it) of numerical indexes/hashtables/assoc.
arrays/etc
Example:
[php]
$jonas = array('color' = 'blue', 'number' = 'three');
echo $jonas[1]; // prints nothing
$jonas = array('color' = 'blue', 'number' = 'three', 1 = 'readme');
echo $jonas[1]; // prints 'readme', even though it's technically
the third element
[/php]
So, your solution might be to first pull all of the array values out
into a new array, like this:
[php]
$jonas = array('color' = 'blue', 'number' = 'three', 1 = 'readme');
$jonas_new = array_values($jonas);
echo $jonas_new[1]; // prints 'three', as you'd hoped
[/php]
p.s. Bonus: If you wanted to get the keys out, use array_keys()
And yes, as Jay said, RTFM. It's very very helpful.

It looked nice at first, but then I started getting into problems and required too many special cases to make it work. In the end, it wasn't a clean nor elegant solution. Satyam, Would you care to give some more details as to those edge cases that swayed you to drop the unique id approach? I've just recently added it to my forms (for those that I find need it), in addition to the redirect method you outlined below. Those two combined seem to really go the distance in creating a reliable exchange of data between client and server, as well as a better experience for the user (since the form is capable of handling a larger set of error cases) Actually, I don't know if any of those 'fixes' actually did anything. I got some repeated log records (some of the operations were updates so they wouldn't harm the data, only update again what was already updated, but the log showed me both updates) and I can't really tell what was wrong and, in the end, those attempts at fixing them didn't work so they didn't fix anything. The redirection technique (which I learned about in this list) never failed me so in the end I dropped investigating any further, and I use that one alone. --- Also, with regards to sending success/failure messages across the redirection of your forms, I'd recommend considering sessions for passing the data. It keeps your URLs clean, and allows you to send complex data a bit easier (IMHO). For example if a user makes an error on a few different form elements, you can send back an array of messages to the user without having to serialize/unserialize in the ugly URL. --- It took a while for me to get used to accept to rely on session data and I'm still not completely comfortable with it. In a couple of places where the confirmation data would be too large to send in the URL, I would just send the primary key and re-read the data from the database, hopefully still cached and not requiring any actual disk access. As for the error messages, they don't go into the redirection which I only do on success. At first I did concatenate errors into a string, each enclosed in p tags and all shown in a div class=errormessage. In one app, and that is the style I will probably follow from now on, the error messages go into an array with the input field name as the key so each message can be shown right by the corresponding field. Actually a style I liked and will try in some real site is to put a simple and small error icon and have the text of the message in the 'alt' attribute so it shows when the cursor is over the icon. In that way, you can signal the place of the error without disrupting the layout of the form with a long text but you are not limited to show too brief a message. Most of the time, the user will realize what the error was anyway. (I'm talking about an intranet system with trained operators and somewhat dense forms). I fancy a floating div somewhere around but not covering the input field in error might also work, like a cartoon balloon dialog, but I'm not sure about it.

Phillip, There's a fundamental problem with trying to slice text into resizable web pages the same way it's sliced on paper. Paper pages work because they're set in a fixed font size. When you change the ratio of font size to column width, the places where lines of text wrap changes. Because of the varying lengths of words, strings of words spill over to the next line in non-linear rates. Unless you use a fixed font size (boo, hiss) or you change the font size and the column width at exactly the same rate by sizing your layout in ems, your text columns are going to change in height (line-count) with font resizing. -snip- (good stuff) You could make the problem much more solvable by dishing up whole paragraphs only, and learning to accept (nay, embrace!) the resultant variation in page-length. Paul Paul et al: If the text is organized into paragraphs, which I can't imagine it not being, then the solution can be found in using a combination of javascript and php. Javascript can detect the size (height width) of window the user is currently using and the web site has control over the font size and margins. With that information, via ajax, it's certainly solvable to calculate what text would fit into the space provided and display it in real time. Granted it would make for a boring presentation because no titles or variations in font sizes, but if someone wanted to simply throw text to an open window, one could calculate how many paragraphs would fit in the available space and the users actions (on-load, window-resize) could trigger the operation. Furthermore, if headings where identifiable, then those could be thrown into the mix and calculated as well. tedd -- http://sperling.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If the article is REALLY big, a query to get the whole damn thing is

That was my thought. Plus if the user closes the browser you loose
the session(usually, for anonymous sessions, not logged in users),
then you have to do the processing/session storing all over again if
they wanted to look at it again right away. Multiply by a couple
thousand and your server is doing a lot of work it really doesn't
have to if the 'pages' are pre-set and you're only grabbing a small
chunk at a time. Plus you can get relevant urls to a 'page' that can
be bookmarked, to a degree.
Aside from not having to do a lot of text processing, the queries
would be simpler too. And the author would still have control over
the length of the 'pages', which is probably much preferable to some
kind of automatic system that has no concept of context.
I'm not saying all of the 'pages' would be exactly the same length,
but they would make sense as pages when you read them, if the author
knew what they were doing.
parsing for html comments that could get blasted by an errant edit.
the marker is either there or not - and if it'd borked (e.g. '!--

then it would break the page, sure - but so could ANY broken
markup so
the argument
is somewhat moot. besides a routine to strip markers (broken or
otherwise) is
as simple to write as marker splitting function is.
I think the assumption is that the article is actually HTML in the

What if you write a cool pdf generator (or rss feed or

already have ( because you're not storing the html, and folks want to
be able to make a word bold in the web page 'cause they can do it in

Plus having easy access to 'sections' of articles means that those
sections aren't necessarily tied to a particular article. Mix and

[PHP] Problem with usort
Hi folks,
Config is Apache/1.3.34 (Unix) PHP/4.4.1 mod_ssl/2.8.25 OpenSSL/0.9.7i.
If my usort callback has in it:
if ($aday == $bday) {return 0;}
else {return ($aday $bday) ? -1 : 1;}
everything works - lots of sort operations happen on the array (three
elements) and it sorts correctly.
If however, I change it to:
$ret_val = 0;
if ($aday == $bday) {$ret_val = 0;}
else {$ret_val = ($aday $bday) ? -1 : 1;}
return ret_val;
Then it does not sort correctly and only performs two sort operations (on a
three element array).
I must be missing something obvious. I'm not the most experienced PHP coder
so perhaps some esoteric feature of the language has confounded me. Open to
liberal use of the clue by four. :)
Cheers!
Jon

You're missing the $ for ret_val on the return line.
PHP thus understands the return value as a string,
ret_val, which would be taken as 0. Since all elements
are now equal, the order of the elements in the array
is undefined.

Not true actually, it's a quick if/else using the ternary operator.
It's also difficult to read all on one line:
$ret_val = 0;
if ($aday == $bday)
{
$ret_val = 0;
} else {
// what this does is test if $aday is less than $bday.
// If so, it sets $ret_val to -1. If not, it sets $ret_val to 1.

I'm aware of that. I wasn't sure of the precedence between = and ?.

Actually, PHP first looks for a constant named ret_val, then it uses a
string containing ret_val. So, if there was a constant with that name,
that value would have been used.

At 07:12 AM 5/4/2006, tedd wrote:
If the text is organized into paragraphs, which I can't imagine it
not being, then the solution can be found in using a combination of
javascript and php.
Javascript can detect the size (height width) of window the user
is currently using and the web site has control over the font size
and margins. With that information, via ajax, it's certainly
solvable to calculate what text would fit into the space provided
and display it in real time.
Granted it would make for a boring presentation because no titles or
variations in font sizes, but if someone wanted to simply throw text
to an open window, one could calculate how many paragraphs would fit
in the available space and the users actions (on-load,
window-resize) could trigger the operation.
Furthermore, if headings where identifiable, then those could be
thrown into the mix and calculated as well.
Yes: cutting text into arbitrary column-lengths is most likely a
client-side task and therefore not on-topic for this list, but since
you've opened the door...
Headlines and other variations in text size need not be a
problem. No need to calculate rendered text size: let the browser do it.
The way I might approach this is to feed more text to the page than I
know will fit, enclose it in a container that JavaScript sets to
{overflow: hidden}, and use JavaScript to detect where (at which
paragraph and word) the visible text block ends.
One way to find the last visible word would be to enclose a word in a
span, compare its rendered position to the height of the text
container, remove the span, and continue until we find a word that's
lower than the bottom of the container. The most efficient way to
perform this search might be to check the first word of each
paragraph until a hidden word is found, then work backward from
there. Once JavaScript had determined the last word on the rendered
page (or the first word to be displayed on the next page), it would
communicate this to PHP -- either immediately [via new Image() src or
XMLHttpRequest] or on the next page request through the navigation
hyperlinks or form submit.
To accommodate font-resizing, JavaScript could set a self-timer to
re-check the last visible first hidden words on the page and see if
their 'shown' status had changed. If it has, all it has to do is
report the new page boundary to PHP.
This would have to work in the absence of client-side scripting, so
it's JavaScript that sets {overflow: hidden} on the text container.
This technique could also be used to flow text across multiple
columns. I don't know how close it comes to existing techniques of
calculating text-column-length.
In my Copious Spare Time I'll do a proof of concept to see how this flies.

[PHP] What editor do you use?
I am currently looking for a good PHP editor for Windows. I know, the question must have been asked so many times, but I thought I could ask it again now that a few editors have evolved, others have appeared. Before I used something called Ultraedit but I was disappointed by the lack of features, I love the search capabilities, but the autocomplete is very clumsy as well as the HTML elements. I have tried Zend 5.0 beta and I am not satisfied for several reasons. Although I love the powerful debugger and I think it is very code smart, I dislike the lack of HTML elements. If I want to add a table with 2 rows and 3 columns, I have to type the HTML tags and I am trying to save time with that. I love the powerful coding capabilites but dislike the lack of a WYSIWYG interface. I am also using Dreamweaver 8, which has become a lot smarter than it used to be, has a lot of nice bells and whistles but it is not as code smart as Zend and it becomes lost if you use the very standard technique of headers and footers. But I love the HTML editor otherwise, it is quite powerful. I am looking for something which would be code smart as well as a good HTML editor, a mix of Zend and Dreamweaver.
