[PHP] [ANN] Code Golf Challenge : 1,000 Digits Of Pi
Hi all, Code Golf's 12th challenge has just been added to the site. It asks you to calculate the first 1,000 digits of Pi - Something I'm sure most of you have thought about, but never done. You can see the challenge at : http://codegolf.com/1000-digits-of-pi For those who haven't heard of codegolf.com, it can be described as allowing you to show off your code-fu by trying to solve coding problems using the least number of keystrokes. The site currently supports Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby with Scheme to (hopefully) follow soon. Your entries are automatically executed and scored - No need to wait for someone to validate your code. Other challenges include implementing the Vigenere Cipher, Prime factors, SHA-256 Hashing as well as the obvious 99 Bottles Of Beer. All of the challenges are competitive but there is still scope to well in them, even if you're new to the site, and perhaps surprisingly, PHP is doing well in a couple of the challenges. I hope some of you will find this interesting, and sorry for disturbing you if not! Have fun, Carl. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Scripts taking too much time
Hi, I'm hoping somebody can give me advice on how I can go about debugging a problem I've been having. The bottom of this email has some of the details of my system. There is an intermittent slowness throughout my site. At seemingly random points in random scripts at random times it just seems to wait. A few of these have been as long as 600 seconds, just sitting there, apparently doing nothing. I've tried tracking down the problem using microtime(), that jsut showed me how (mostly) random it was. The least complex area in which I was able to isolate a problem was a 15 line chunk of HTML, with some ?=MY_CONSTANT? in them. I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions, thanks! Chris ==[Details]=== I've compiled both Apache and PHP, neither are RPMs: Apache 2.0.55 (Compiled with mod_prefork) PHP 5.1.2 (module) CentOS 4.2 (Essentially a repackaged Red Hat Enterprise 4) I'm averaging about 2 requests a second, spiking occasionally to 10 per second, but not very often. At no time is anything on the server maxed out CPU sometimes gets to 20%, memory never hits swap (at least not that I can see), disk activity is minimal (my database is not on the same server). My site has a decent amount of includes, it's probably doing 30-40 includes per request, with an occasional require or two. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This might point you in the right direction in finding out why something is being slow. One cool thing is that you can set Xdebug to automatically generate cachegrind files for each request since your problem seems to be intermittent.
[PHP] Frustrated trying to get help from your site
I am a programmer who is fairly new to PHP, and I had a problem trying to make changes to existing code. I tried to look up any existing documentation on your site, and after an extensive search, I finally found someone who has the same problem. The only problem is that he said something about applying a snapshot that fixed his problem. I think I finally found the place on your site where these snapshots are kept, but I am unable to download the .ZIP file because of security here at our facility. The thing is, I'm not even sure whether I'm on the right page, or whether this will actually fix my problem, or what I'm supposed to do with this snapshot once I get it. You have no documentation (that I can find) about what a snapshot is, or how to download it, or what to do with it. I think I'm going to have to submit a bug report, because I don't know what else to do on your site (even though I've run across several warnings NOT to submit a bug report if a problem has already been reported). Your site is incredibly frustrating and difficult to navigate. Tim Howard Calhoun ISD Dept. of Technology (269) 789-2465 This email is intended only for the use of the addressee(s) named herein.

[PHP] My apologies

I have been working with PHP for a few months now, doing only necessary maintenance on existing sites written by someone who is no longer here. I was told that the PHP site has lots of useful information, and I agree completely that it does. I apologize for not being entirely familiar with your site, and also for venting my frustrations using the first email link I found on the site. I am quite used to having to search extensively to find the answers to unusual problems, but I figured the best place to start was in the program documentation on your site. When I find the solution to my problem, I will be sure to add comments to the appropriate page so that you will not have to endure the ranting of frustrated programmers.

Or the Zend Optimizer? Try disabling those and re-running the tests, just to be certain it's not the cache acting up. I'd also suggest trying some other tools to monitor the activities -- just in principle, to be certain that the monitors themselves are accurate. I have no particular package in mind -- Just that two heads are better than one when trying to view what's happening at that level of detail. My site has a decent amount of includes, it's probably doing 30-40 includes per request, with an occasional require or two. Just in general, I'd suggest that 30-40 includes per request is a bit excessive... Can none of them be combined? I *believe* the big hit for an include is in the disk seek, not reading and parsing some bits of PHP code. This is not likely to be at all related to your current issue -- just a general observation. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Finding individual headers is pretty much a case of testing for From: or whatever at the beginning of a line. Also mabye Multipart email's en attachments? Sure. One of the headers will have the separator and then you just explode on that. Due to the vagaries of various MTAs, if you need a GENERAL solution for email that anybody can just use, I'd try to go with something pre-packaged from http://phpclasses.org or PECL or PEAR or...

If you throw enough strings around, and append things enough different ways, you may confuse PHP's reference counter enough that it can't be CERTAIN that you are done with a string. Use unset() on any string variable you are done with especially in tight loops. This MAY be fixed in current PHP -- I just know it was once an issue. Great idea -- I just completed a degree in computational physics, which included courses that involved dumping loads of data and graphing them using tools like gnuplot and OpenDx... you'd think I would have thought of this one myself (rolling my eyes). I graphed mine with GD and PHP, personally, when I needed this, but there ya go. Before anybody asks for it, it's a total hack inapplicable to anybody else in any real fashion... I wasn't interested in reusable code for a one-off problem. Did you close down the DB connection and kill the PEAR objects?... PHP's garbage collection has had... issues... in the past. All of my classes that extend DataObject inherit a common destructor that calls the DataObject::free() method, which, supposedly, frees result resources. I'm not sure what you mean by 'kill the PEAR objects', but all references go out of scope or are unset. Forget go out of scope as a solution to memory management. For any external resouces, use xyz_close() on them. For any PHP variables, use unset() This is not C. It's not even Lisp. :-) The definition of scope in PHP is simple This is very very very GOOD for writing simple little scripts when you don't know diddly-squat about programming. It is also, alas, a bit BAD for the compiler when it comes time to categorically state that $x is or isn't out of scope. The PHP Dev Team has made wondrous strides in this area, but if you're triggering PHP saying I dunno... This may or may not be out of scope in a tight loop, you're gonna lose RAM. If you can point to a specific simple instance, where it CAN be proven that something is out of scope and it should be cleaned, that's great for a http://bugs.php.net report... More likely, though, you've hit a point where the answer is indeterminate. I *believe* such instances still exist. I'm not the expert, though, just what I heard the experts say a year ago on this topic. 5) By doing unset($GLOBALS[$varname]) and unset($$varname), where $varname is each key of the $GLOBALS array, I am effectively eliminating all remaining references, and all allocated memory should be reclaimed by the memory manager (except perhaps for memory associated with function and class definitions). No. Dangling pointers and references not correctly cleaned up from a function are left out in limbo. This I find VERY odd. So if I don't unset all references in a function before it exits I lose that memory? There is a potential in some rare and unusual circumstances where the referencing is indeterminate as to whether PHP can just go ahead and free something. Given the indeterminacy (?), PHP has only one viable path. Leave it. Cuz losing RAM beats a segfault every day. :-) Perfect -- this is exactly what I was trying to get at. I wasn't even sure whether I should be totally confident that my assumptions about PHP internals were that solid, and therefore, whether I should _really_ be banging my head too hard on this. Thanks for your detailed response -- you answered my questions and then some. Is there a resource out there that explains PHP internals in detail? Use the source, Luke. :-) There probably are reference books, and some may even be sort of current... Subscribing to PHP Internals, and having up to 90% of a conversation be over your head is certainly intructive. At least, it was for me. :-) These days I almost understand 80% of it, though...

I tried to look up any existing documentation on your site, and after an extensive search, I finally found someone who has the same problem. The only problem is that he said something about applying a snapshot that fixed his problem. I think I finally found the place on your site where these snapshots are kept, but I am unable to download the .ZIP file because of security here at our facility. The thing is, I'm not even sure whether I'm on the right page, or whether this will actually fix my problem, or what I'm supposed to do with this snapshot once I get it. You have no documentation (that I can find) about what a snapshot is, or how to download it, or what to do with it. I think I'm going to have to submit a bug report, because I don't know what else to do on your site (even though I've run across several warnings NOT to submit a bug report if a problem has already been reported). Your site is incredibly frustrating and difficult to navigate. First and foremost, you'd have to tell us which issue you are trying to solve, and what links made you think a snapshot would fix it. Without that, we're guessing from a pool of approximiately 60,000 known issues that you might be trying to solve, and we are unlikely to give good advice. You probably followed a link and ended up on this: http://snaps.php.net/ It's true that there's a lot of links to a lot of stuff to download, and not much explanatory text there... This page, however, is a good starting point for what this CVS / snapshot stuff is all about: http://us2.php.net/anoncvs.php This was the second link in a search from the homepage with snapshot and online documentation in the popup. In brief, to explain a snapshot in layman's terms: Many users compile PHP from source code. Various versions of PHP exist, but they can be widely categorized as: Old unsupported versions. Current Stable/Supported Versions. Snapshots taken at various points in time. CVS current work-in-progress. This is a bit of an over-simplification, but may help you understand snapshot better. So PHP snapshots are an automated process of taking developer's best guess as to what is currently sort of stable, mostly If the reference you cite is old then whatever it is that was in the snapshot is most likely already in current PHP stable -- So getting the snapshot from 60 minutes ago would just be silly. OTOH, if the reference is only a few weeks old, you may indeed be stuck with running bleeding-edge PHP to resolve it, and taking the risks that entails. We could not begin to advise anybody on that without knowing a whole lot more about their overall architecture and stability needs. E.g., An ISP with thousands of customers would almost certainly be ill-advised to run from a snapshot. E.g., A cron job to do one specific task running from a snapshot that resolves one particular issue, installed in a different directory than that running the actual web server or any other command line PHP scripts, makes perfect sense for almost anybody. I think you will find as time goes on that PHP Documentation is second to none, even if you ran into a frustrating dead end in this, your first, particular instance. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] DOMDocument-saveXML()
Perhaps you missed my reply. If you pass the root node then you get the entire document without the XML declaration. That's both elegant and built-in. I didn't miss it. But you have to pass in the root DomNode object. The only way to get it is by doing the following: $nodeList = $doc-getElementsByTagname( 'RootTagName' ); echo $doc-saveXML( $nodeList-item( 0 )); So unless your root node has an ID, that seems pretty excessive. Now you have the wasted resources that $nodeList is using. While it is crude, I believe it is both faster and less resource intensive to just do: echo str_replace( '?xml version=1.0?', '', $doc-saveXML()); It would be really nice if you could also specify a string value -- the name of the root node.

RE: [PHP] how to get page count when uploading files
Thank you all for your quick answers!! Really appreciated! I will work on a solution. Have a nice day!

When I upload a file (word or pdf), how can I know the page counts of that file immediately? If you actually mean page count PHP itself doesn't know anything about that. To PHP, it's just a file full of data The PDF PDI will probably solve the PDF question. If it's true, as stated, that Word files are just RTF documents, and you could use an RTF parser to read them, then it's entirely possible that a PHP RTF parser exists out there if you Google for it... You may also just mean file size http://php.net/filesize Page Count in Word might also change based on printer settings -- I don't think you'll get the same number with US versus A4, for example, with most Word documents. Throw in different print margins and other fun things that can be done at the printer driver setup level, and you've got a whole new can of worms. Would php at all take precaution of the px size of the letters, if any of the above issues were to be resolved? That would be at document level for starters, and probably should be resolved in the first place? The RTF parser may or may not allow you to specify, but if you *NEED* that page count for something crucial, test thoroughly. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- --- Børge Kennel Arivene http://www.arivene.net --- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Reverse of date(w)

Another way to do it would be to store the unix epoch and then just
get the
weekday name from that? More overhead than Travis's idea, but just as
good
and you could possibly use the date/time later on.
I use the DATETIME fieldtypes in MySQL, same idea... 100% agreed that
keeping that timestamp for later use is a good idea.
For Kevin's original question.. Here is the MySQL function to get that
short weekday name off of a DATETIME column:
Table with datetime column:
mysql SELECT id,effectivetime
- FROM event
- WHERE employee_id ='1001';
+-+-+
| id | effectivetime |
+-+-+
| 184 | 2006-09-18 18:50:25 |
| 182 | 2006-09-17 23:12:17 |
| 178 | 2006-09-12 21:59:44 |
+-+-+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Query to get 'weekday':
mysql SELECT id,effectivetime,DATE_FORMAT(effectivetime,%a) AS weekday
- FROM event
- WHERE employee_id = '1001';
+-+-+-+
| id | effectivetime | weekday |
+-+-+-+
| 184 | 2006-09-18 18:50:25 | Mon |
| 182 | 2006-09-17 23:12:17 | Sun |
| 178 | 2006-09-12 21:59:44 | Tue |
+-+-+-+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Those DATETIME columns can do some other neat things too:
SELECT * FROM events WHERE starttime BETWEEN '2006-09-18' AND '2006-09-28'
Gives me a list of events happening in a certain period...
SELECT * FROM events WHERE DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 30 DAY) starttime
Gets you the last 30 days without needing to make those '2006-09-18'
style strings in PHP code.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html
They should all work on DATETIME type columns, storing seconds since
epoch doesn't quite give you that (you could work it in pretty easily
I'm sure, why not use the native column type!)
Cheers,
Travis

Not really. If it were always today that would work, but in this
case, I was thinking of storing a day of the week in a database

that the number was in fact 3, then:
echo date(D,3);
Would return Wed.
Is there any function like that? Oh, and it has to run on PHP 4.
Any reason you wouldn't write it yourself?
?php
function getDayFromInteger($integer)
{
$days = array('Sun','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat');
if (isset($days[$integer]))
{
return $days[$integer];
}
return false;
}

Re: [PHP] Scripts taking too much time

There is an intermittent slowness throughout my site. At seemingly random points in random scripts at random times it just seems to wait. A few of these have been as long as 600 seconds, just sitting there, apparently doing nothing. I've tried tracking down the problem using microtime(), that jsut showed me how (mostly) random it was. The least complex area in which I was able to isolate a problem was a 15 line chunk of HTML, with some ?=MY_CONSTANT? in them. Are you sure it's the php code? Have you checked your database logs to see if anything is being run that shouldn't be? Using mysql_query/pg_query type functions have to wait for the query to finish before returning, so problems with the db server may show up on your site. I'm don't know if it's my PHP code, but I'm fairly certain it's not my database calls. This time lapse is occurring in places where nothing is being done except outputing values from a constant, or HTML Thanks.

[PHP] Re: How to parse raw mail headers and messages?
Hello, on 09/18/2006 03:48 AM Mathijs said the following: Is there a way to parse mail headers from a RAW mail received from sendmail? Like extracting the from, reply-to etc.. etc.. and also the message(s). Also mabye Multipart email's en attachments? You may want to take a look at this MIME message parser class. It can parse any e-mail message without depending on any PHP extensions. It can also parse very large messages without exhausting the available memory. Optionally, attachments can be saved to separate files.
