Ok, picking gnits...
I should have said NOT true and NOT false at the same time.
As for the return of the integer 0..
The documentation indicates that the === and !== operators take this into 
account in fact there is a specific example in the manual.

My point here is that if !== works , why does === not?

thanks for responding.

You did??? Where?

> How can the variable $found be both TRUE and FALSE at the same time?

None of your output above indicates that it is both equal to TRUE and
FALSE at the same time. It does indicate that $found does NOT equal TRUE
and does NOT equal FALSE at the same time and that is because it
returned the integer value 0 which is the location of the string in the
haystack.

Rob.

However, this function:

Does what I want it to when there is no space, regardless of whether
or not there is a pipe. It does not replace anything if there is a
space.



I see your problem -- you're omitting the brackets around your 
metacharacters.  I believe you should be using [:underscore:] not 
:underscore: -- therefore,


/\[([A-Za-z0-9\|\'.-[:underscore:]]+)\]/i

I'm not sure why you need those metacharacters, however; I've never 
had trouble matching literal space and underscore characters, e.g. [ _]


Also:
- You don't need to escape the vertical pipe.
- You don't need to escape the apostrophe.
- You do need to escape the hyphen unless you mean it to indicate a 
range, which I'm sure you don't here.



On other regexp points:


Thanks, Paul. I've been refining my methods, and I think it's better
(for me) to just match everything between [ and ], including spaces,
underscores, apostrophies, and pipes. I'll explode on the pipe inside
the function.

So I thought that a simple "/\[([.]+)\]/i" should do it.


Oops:  "[.]+" will look for one or more periods.  ".+" means one or 
more character of any kind.  So you'd want:


/\[(.+)\]/i

In a case like this where you're not using any alphabetic letters in 
the pattern, the -i pattern modifier is irrelevant, so I'd drop it:


/\[(.+)\]/

Then your problem is that regexp is 'greedy' and will grab as long a 
matching string as it can.  If there's more than one of your link 
structures in your text, the regexp above will grab everything from 
the beginning of the first link to the end of the last.  That's why I 
excluded the close-bracket in my pattern:


/\[([^]]+)]/

I know [^]] looks funny but the close-bracket doesn't need to be 
escaped if it's in the first position, which includes the first 
position after the negating circumflex.  I've also omitted the 
backslash before the final literal close-bracket which doesn't need 
one because there's no open bracket context for it to be confused with.

[PHP] odd behavior of stripos() with === operator

[Michael]

HEllo all,

After pulling my hair out for several hours trying to figure out why my code
wasn't working I built this little test and ran it, the results are interesting
in the least, and to me, surprising. It is possible that I have done something
wrong, but I checked and rechecked this in the documentation.

It appears there is either a problem with the === operator (or my brain...)
If you don't mind, I'd like to see what you all think.

I am running php 5.2.0 on a linux redhat 9 box with Apache 2.2 (the php 5.2.0
install is brand new, perhaps I set it up wrong?)

anyway here is the code I wrote, and the output from it...

 $found = stripos("abcdefg", "abcdefg");
echo "found = stripos(\"abcdefg\", \"abcdefg\");\n"
echo "The value of found is = : $found\n"

// 1a) --- needle was found in haystack THIS SHOULD BE 
 if ( $found !== FALSE ) {
  echo "found does not equal FALSE\n"
 }
// 1b) --- needle was found in haystack THIS SHOULD ALSO BE
 if ($found === TRUE )  {
  echo "found is equal to TRUE\n"
 }

//1c) --- needle was NOT found in haystack THIS SHOULD NOT BE
 if ( $found === FALSE )  {
  echo "found is equal to FALSE\n"
 }
//1d) --- needle was NOT found in haystack THIS ALSO SHOULD NOT BE
 if ($found !== TRUE )  {
  echo "found does not equal TRUE\n"
 }

 $found = stripos("abcdefg", "tuvwxyz");

echo "\$found = stripos(\"abcdefg\", \"tuvwxyz\");\n"
echo "The value of found is = : $found\n"

//2a) --- needle was found in haystack  THIS SHOULD NOT BE
 if ( $found !== FALSE ) {
  echo "found does not equal FALSE\n"
 }
//2b) --- needle was found in haystack THIS ALSO SHOULD NOT BE
 if ($found === TRUE )  {
  echo "found is equal to TRUE\n"
 }

//2c) --- needle was NOT found in haystack THIS SHOULD BE
 if ( $found === FALSE )  {
  echo "found is equal to FALSE\n"
 }
//2d) --- needle was NOT found in haystack THIS SHOULD ALSO BE
 if ($found !== TRUE )  {
  echo "found does not equal TRUE\n"
 }

the output:

$found = stripos("abcdefg", "abcdefg");
The value of found is = : 0 

found does not equal FALSE   //this is from section 1a) of the code

found does not equal TRUE//this is from section 1d) of the code
 // I expected the code from 1b) to be executed

$found = stripos("abcdefg", "tuvwxyz");
The value of found is = : 

found is equal to FALSE  //this is from section 2c) of the code

found does not equal TRUE//this is from section 2d) of the code

I have underlined the output I am interested in... How can the variable $found
be both TRUE and FALSE at the same time?

Anyone who can provide me some insight on this, please enlighten me.

If my code is correct, then this behavior of the === operator is
counter-intuitive, it was my understanding that the === and !== operators were
supposed to be used with the output of stripos() for just this situation, but
=== does not appear to recognize that the returned "0" (because the string was
found at index 0) ; whereas the !== does recognize this...

is === buggy? or am I? heh

thoughts? comments?

Thanks all,
Michael

Not actually.  Inside a character class, a dot is just a period.  You
may escape it (or any other character) but you don't need to.  To
quote the manual:
__

In a character class the only meta-characters are:

...
A closing square bracket on its own is not special. If a closing
square bracket is required as a member of the class, it should be the
first data character in the class (after an initial circumflex, if
present) or escaped with a backslash.
...
All non-alphanumeric characters other than \, -, ^ (at the start) and
the terminating ] are non-special in character classes, but it does
no harm if they are escaped.

http://ca.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php



In any case, none of those solutions work. Try code:

$parts[0] | $parts[1]";

   $returnString="[".$linkTextArrayPlaceHolder."]";
   return $returnString;
}

$text="This is some text.
This tag has no spaces and no pipes [TestTag]
This tag has no spaces and a pipe [TestTag|AfterPipe]
This tag has a space and no pipes [Test Tag]
This tag has a space and a pipe [Test Tag|AfterPipe]";

// Clean up the text
$text=str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $text);
$text=str_replace("\r", "\n", $text);
$text=str_replace("\n", "", $text);

print $text;

// THIS IS THE PROBLEMATIC CODE
$text=preg_replace_callback('/\[([A-Za-z0-9\¦\'.-]+)\]/i' ,
"findLinks", $text);

print "".$text;

Re: [PHP] Dynamic Year Drop Down

Thanks, Larry. This was close, but didn't quite work. I played around

$this_year = date('Y');

for ($i= $this_year-1; $i < $this_year+3; ++$i) {
echo "" . $i . "\n";
}   
echo "\n";

This works for me, simple and easy.

// Grabs current Year
$year=date("Y");

// Number of years you want total
$yearEnd=$year+10;

// Generate Drop Down
for($year=$year; $year <= $yearEnd; $year++) {
   print "$year";

Thanks. This was close, but it didn't account for the first option  
being last year. I edited and ended up with this which works.


// Grabs current Year
$year=date("Y");
$yearFirst = $year-1;
// Number of years you want total
$yearEnd=$year+2;

// Generate Drop Down
echo "\n";
for($year=$yearFirst; $year <= $yearEnd; $year++) {
   print "$year";

[Myron Turner]

The \w regex includes all alphanumeric characters plus the underscore,
i.e. all valid characters that make up a C  identifier.  So what you
want can be expressed as follows:
[\w\s\.\-&]+
You have to escape the dot because in a regular espression it
represents any single character, which is why .* represents all
characters.

The underscore plus alphanumeric are included in \w, so to get a regex 
such as you want:

[\w\s\.\-&\']+
You should escape the dot because the unescaped dot stands for any 
single character, which is why .* stands for any and all characters.

[A-Za-z0-9\'.&- :underscore:]
[A-Z a-z0-9\'.&-:underscore:]
[:space:A-Za-z0-9\'.&-:underscore:]

All these regexes match strings containing the specified characters,

Well, just to make sure you don't discard regexp unnecessarily...

// the pattern guarantees five digits, then two, then two:
$sPattern = '/(\d{5})(\d{2})(\d{2})$/';

// prepend 9 zeroes to the number to enforce the minimum requirements:
preg_match($sPattern, '0' . $iNumber, $aMatches);

Results:

$iNumber = '';
$aMatches:
(
[0] => 0

[2] => 00
[3] => 00
)

$iNumber = '123';
$aMatches:
(

$iNumber = '12345';

Thanks, Paul. I've been refining my methods, and I think it's better
(for me) to just match everything between [ and ], including spaces,
underscores, apostrophies, and pipes. I'll explode on the pipe inside
the function.

So I thought that a simple "/\[([.]+)\]/i" should do it. This is the line:
$text=preg_replace_callback('/\[([.]+)\]/i' , "findLinks", $text);
This is what it is doing:
1) on "[~~]" where ~~ does not include spaces nor pipes: The function
replaces "[~~]" with "".
2) on "[~~]" where ~~ includes a pipe, but no space: The function does
not replace anything.
3) on "[~~]" where ~~ includes a space, but no pipe: The function does
not do what I intend it to do, and I am unable to figure out exactly
what it is doing.
3) on "[~~]" where ~~ includes a space and a pipe: The function does
not replace anything.

However, this function:
$text=preg_replace_callback('/\[([A-Za-z0-9\|\'.-:underscore:]+)\]/i'
, "findLinks", $text);
Does what I want it to when there is no space, regardless of whether
or not there is a pipe. It does not replace anything if there is a
space.

Hi maybe 5 years ago I had same kind of problem.

I solve this way..

Excel 2000 has able to save excel document as web page. 

I generate a excell page and format it.  Then I save it html. It was MS xml 
format. 

After  then that. I use my excel xml file as template for my datas. When user 
click the link php connects to mysql then create ms xml formatted values then 
combine with excell xml file. 

If correct dll's are loaded, an excell sheet will show in IE. It behaves like 
excel. Also you can easly save it excel file.

Regards 

Sancar

In order to figure out the best PHP logic to generate the series, I'd 
first make sure the markup is solid.  I realize that you've already 
indicated a table markup in two rows, but I'd like to examine 
that.  Can you tell us why the numbers are in this particular sequence?


Do the numbers represent items that are conceptually in ascending 
order but are presented in reverse order on the screen?  If so, I'd 
wonder whether someone reading the page with assistive technology 
might be confused by the reverse order, and I'd try to find a way to 
mark them up ascending and then change the sequence stylistically.


Are they split into two rows because they represent two discrete 
groups in the data set or because of display considerations?  If the 
latter, I'd argue that they don't really belong in two table rows; 
that using tables to force presentation is misapplying the tool.


Have you considered an unordered list, floated right, wrapped in a 
container whose width naturally forces a wrap after the fifth 
item?  I like that solution because it allows you to mark up the 
numbers in sequence and in future change the number of items in the 
sequence and/or change the way the series is presented visually 
without having to mess with the logic generating the markup.

Paul

Look into array_chunk() and array_flip(). The first can break your 
main array into two and the second can reverse the results.

If you know the array elements, you may not need to loop. Why not just echo
the particular array elements i.e.  for
example?

You could also name the file *.csv and use a comma as a delimiter instead.

Don't forget to put quotes around any data that may have tab characters in
it. (Or commas if you're using csv)

Hope that helps

of the page then only the data is transferred to excel.
i.e how to i write the displayed data dynamically to the excel without
storing anything on the server.
I am able to config the pear:excelwriter but dont know hwo to get it

as you mentioned using hardened php:
maybe you have to adjust  hphp.post.max_value_length = 
and/or some other settings

No, but the problem doesn't exhibit those characteristics. Sessions work
generally, and I can log in to my application and do certain things that
require a working session etc. It's only when I used a page that posts a
large amount of data that the problem is apparent.

I've tried it with overridden session handling functions that store
session in a db too with the same results.

In my test here, you can do a GET request several times and get the same
id, it's only when you do the POST request that the bug is presented (at
least for me).

Cheers for the suggestion tho'.

Cheers mate.

I guess that could mean its:

 * Apache 2 thing
 * x86_64 thing
 * suhosin thing
 * mandriva thing

More tests to narrow those down would be appreciated if anyone has
appropriate installs to hand.

Have you checked your error_log? I've had this problem when the wrong
permissions were set on /var/lib/php/session which meant PHP couldn't write
it's session files and hence generated a new ID each time. The error_log
will tell you if this is the case.

I am using the suochsim, soouishm, soushim ach the security patch

Anyway, I don't think the data itself is to blame but I didn't fiddle

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents

[Tom Chubb]

Confused!
I'm now getting:
file_get_contents(http://www.tnhosting.co.uk/scripts/gclub/player.php)
[function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Connection
refused in 
/home/sites/tnhosting.co.uk/public_html/scripts/gclub/updateplaylist.php
on line 75
How come you can access it and I can't?!?
Permissions are 755.
Obviously I was getting it when using file_get_contents('player.php')
but when using the URL I get connection refused.

(Don't think that it makes any difference, but allow_url_fopen is on)

BTW, Brad, I was stripping the HTML tags around the object ok, but I'm
echoing variables in player.php.
$song_url & $song_title, are read from a seperate file after upload
and that is what's being updated by this script, but the textarea was
showing the php code.

Thanks for your patience, guys.

if you do the following you will get the same html source as my browser

I should also say that I'm 64-bit everything if that makes a difference.
If other people do NOT get this bug, I'd appreciate it if they could say
their arch too (also if it's windoze/osx etc.).

I'm using Mandriva Cooker FWIW (and no this is not a production box...
wouldn't run Cooker on that!!)

RE: [PHP] file_get_contents

[Brad Fuller]

Yes, I realize that now ;)

I didn't read it thoroughly enough before I posted :P

I think what Tom is referring to as "PHP code" is just the extra HTML tags
around the object tag that he is trying to strip out.

Tom -

Try this:

http://www.tnhosting.co.uk/scripts/gclub/player.php";);

$nstart = strpos($code, '');
$nstop  = strpos($code, '');

echo "" . substr($code, $nstart, $nstop-$nstart) . "";

RE: [PHP] file_get_contents

[Brad Fuller]

Use curl or fopen() to make a request to that PHP page, instead of reading
in the actual contents of the file.

Example:

http://blabla.com/player.php';

$ch=curl_init(); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0;
Windows NT 5.0)"); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$buffer = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch); 

echo "" . $buffer . "";

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents

[Tom Chubb]

Thanks Jochem,
Tried that, but it's still showing php code in the text area!
Any other ideas?

The url is http://www.tnhosting.co.uk/scripts/gclub/updateplaylist.php
and you see it on submission. Feel free to post. It's a testing
server.

Re: [PHP] CSS / PHP / Javascript

[Myron Turner]

You can use a browser sniffer, where they've done all the work for you, 
and then link in the appropriate stylesheet using document.write().  I 
don't have personal experience with the IE conditionals, but I would be 
concerned that they'd get you into a bit of a box when it comes to 
recognizing other browsers.

for this instead - specifically with defining style sheets for different
target browsers and platforms?


having to define CSS files for particular browsers and/or platforms is 
indicative
of the crap we have to deal with - in theory you should NOT be targeting 
browser/platform
specificallt AT ALL. you should be writing stylesheets for different types
of user-agents (as defined by the W3C media types) - but who is really doing 
that.

I recommend trying to build your sites using CSS that all browsers understand
- i.e. avoid software/platform/version specific hacks whenever possible - when 
you
have to add such a hack try to use a technique that you can unobtrusively 
incorporate
into an existing CSS file.

the man named tantek has lots of techniques you can abuses ;-) :

e.g. http://tantek.com/CSS/Examples/midpass.html

also consider that maybe you shouldn't try and tackle every visual discrepency
between 2 different browsers/platforms! - you may have clients who bully you
into 'fixing' layout in WeirdBrowser1.4 for instance - you need to develop a
means to explain the problem to clients in such a way that they understand that
not everything is under your control, and that they can't make you endlessly
chase moving targets (i.e. make the client understand that web != print).

if a client is willing to pay for every mindnumbing hour spent fixing arcane
browser specific display 'bugs' then everything is okay - but don't get stuck
working for weeks for no pay because some marketing manager has 'decided' he/she
knows better what a website is and to what extent you must comply to his 
implicit
wishes [i.e. you can break every 'rule' of website building and ignore/rape 
any/every
relevant specification/standard so long as everything ispixel perfect in every 
browser according
to the original mockup supplied by a graphic designer who can't even grasp the 
concept
of screen resolution (I know plenty of print-based designers that fall into 
this category)]

[PHP] printing page functionality

[Ulf Hyltmark]

Hi,

We are in need of a printing functionality for our webpage.
The problem is that some of our pages has a greater width than a A4 paper
so not all of the content will be printed when using the built in printer
functionality in the browser.

Is there any useful script out there that can take the necessary content of
the page and convert it to
simple text and columns that will fit the paper when printing?

or even better, a server application that can take the full content of the
page and convert it to
pdf or an image in a rescaled version that will fit the A4 paper?

I've had a look at these HTML to PDF conversion apps:
http://www.digitaljunkies.ca/dompdf/
http://www.rustyparts.com/pdf.php

But they don't really cut it as we are using relative and absolute
positioned divs and they don't
have support for this.

Thanks in advance
-Ulf

[PHP] ob_start() and a callback function within a class, not updating ob_get_level().

[Mathijs]

Hello there,

I have a question about ob_start() and ob_get_level().

When i use ob_start(), and then check ob_get_level(), it shows me 1.
This is a normal behavior.

Now when i do the following ob_start(array('ClassName', 'ClassMethod')).
It does execute the methode, but it doesn't update ob_get_level().

Is this a normal behavior?

Thx in advance.
