I just want it to keep working - the code began life in Nov 2003, when php5

I wouldn't do it that way. A single class should not be a database

fair enough, although personally I find that going a bit far, I don't
see the win in splitting up the 'driver' and 'connection manager'. not
that this is the problem in this case.
You wouldn't be having this upgrade problem if static DB::query(...)
wasn't there, and it's there because class DB is a client library *and*
a connection manager. So I'd say this design mistake (and the fact that
PHP allowed you to have almostatic methods) are the problem in this case.
I might plead with internals for: ;-)
class DB {
almostatic function query() { /*existence of $this is MY problem */ }
}
though I can't see atm how the connection management is the problem,
I assume you think this because of the way connection ids and transaction ids in
ibase are interchangable.
regardless I have a problem, I'll keep looking at the code until a clean
solution
presents itself, it's in/out there somewhere.
I could easily split out the actual connection management into a
seperate object but I'd still be stuck with the problem described
above (which is not actually related to connection management).
Not if you make the separation visible to the client code, which, as you
I don't follow you here. could you try an explain it in idiot language? :-P
write below, is actually only a fraction of those 1's of lines of code.
Do those 1's of lines of code concern you? rlynch says indirection
and separation of concerns are useless, you either have decent
programmers and global search replace, or you don't.
yes no. I don't have an endless budget or legions of world-class
analysts, designers and programmers at my disposal for building
megabucks codebases that implement near-on perfect loosely-coupled
application designs, and I don't have the same legion to do search and
replace.
I'm at a complete loss then. Richard, what would you advise to someone
in such a messy situation?
my advice to myself is find a way to fix it, and then do it - not sure
what exactly that means in terms of design or code but I figure that has to be
an answer/solution somewhere :-)

Re: [PHP] retrieve POST body?
This is starting to get super ugly indeed... I was hoping I wouldn't have to essentially write an HTTP daemon from scratch, so I'll keep the sockets in mind as a *last* resort. As much as it would simplify things if $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA (and friends) was fixed to always contain the data regardless of the Content-Type header used, it's going to take a long time before that fix trickles down into other people's PHP installations. Not everyone runs the latest versions, and this particular script I'm working on is being designed to be widely portable. *sigh* I started experimenting today with the idea of reconstructing a POST body from the $_POST[] and $_FILES[] arrays. It's doable, but with limitations. Form field names must not be permitted to contain periods, spaces, or opening square brackets. Those all get converted to underscores before the keys are created to the $_POST[] array, with no way to determine the original name. And if the form field name has both opening and closing square brackets respectively, weird funky sub-arraying occurs. Anyhow, I'd also need to do a workaround to this form field naming limitation, because server-side form-based image maps send the coordinates as formfieldname.x and formfieldname.y, no exceptions. So I'd have to search for any array key pairs that have identical names save for a _x and _y ending, and change the underscore back to a period. Of course this could mess up other form fields that just happen to end in _x and _y as specified in the HTML form, so I'd have to try several combinations (one each found key pair at a time + one for no changes) and keep comparing the hashes until I've found the correct POST body reconstruction. Then there's the final challenge: figuring out the order in which the form-data blocks were arranged in the original multipart body! It turns out the order of the $_POST[] array elements are created in the same order as the respective form-data parts in the original POST request, but if the form contains a file upload, it throws a wrench in the operation. The trouble is the $_POST[] array does not contain any elements for the file upload, so it's anyone's guess as to where in the multipart POST body the uploaded file data was inserted. The only solution I can think of is to try all the possible combinations until the correct hash is found. But if the form has several fields and multiple file uploads, this could take quite a long time... But hey, is this any dirtier than writing an entire middle-ware HTTP server in PHP? ;-) Richard Lynch wrote: One possibly super ugly hack... You could maybe write your own middle-ware HTTP server thingie with some kinda socket functions, do what you want with the input, and then pass it on to PHP somehow... I think you might maybe be better off putting in a Feature Request to get RAW_HTTP_POST_HEADERS or whatever it is turned on for multipart/form-data, or even declaring it a Bug. It might just get labeled bogus as a bug though... You may even have some luck looking at PHP source to try to submit a patch for it... Doesn't seem like it would be THAT hard to do, once you find the dang lines of C code that do file upload, and the other lines that do the RAW_HTTP thing... 'Course, it would take me months just to find those lines of code, knowing me. :-v -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] serialize an object
Sorry for that ctrl+enter sends, when I wanted ctrl+V to paste :( All registered variables are serialized after the request finishes. Registered variables which are undefined are marked as being not defined. On subsequent accesses, these are not defined by the session module unless the user defines them later. Warning Some types of data can not be serialized thus stored in sessions. It includes resource variables or objects with circular references (i.e. objects which passes a reference to itself to another object). Note: Session handling was added in PHP 4.0.0. Note: Please note when working with sessions that a record of a session is not created until a variable has been registered using the session_register() function or by adding a new key to the $_SESSION superglobal array. This holds true regardless of if a session has been started using the session_start() function. So I'd assume his class has a circular reference if it cannot be serialized, and how to fix that I'm going to pass on. -Original Message- From: Zoltán Németh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 8:40 AM To: Tobias Wurst Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] serialize an object as far as I know serialize() saves all the properties of the object... and I think you can store objects in session without serializing it since PHP serializes-unserializes it for you automatically - or not? greets Zoltán Németh 2007. 04. 19, csütörtök keltezéssel 13.17-kor Tobias Wurst ezt írta: hi, i use serialize() to save my object in $_SESSION.

True, some requires hacks BUT that's a good thing that we can use the code to solve the problems. To me, that's not a hack, but rather a solution. And I don't see the CSS spec author folks really addressing some fundamental problems that real-world designers need addressed so they can get the layouts they want. I disagree. The CSS folks have solved hundreds of different types of layouts and have provided the techniques to solve almost any problem imaginable. Plus, they have been foremost in promoting a completely new medium -- these people have done wonders! Whether they *ought* to want those layouts, or whether they are good layouts for websites is arguable, but there it is... The CSS folks don't seem to be addressing the needs of their Designer user-base, afaics... IF there is a problem, it is that the designers aren't taking the time to look at what's available. If a designer wants a two column layout with a footer, side bar, header and is liquid -- it's there! If the designer wants a static keep to the top left corner of the browser window three column with only a header -- it's there too! In fact, I may be going out on a limb here, but I challenge anyone to describe a layout that isn't covered. I'm hoping some day (soon) this will all be worked out all nicey-nice.

Hi. I have attempted to look at the archives for this, but keep getting redirected back to the main PHP site when I click on the archive link. With that said, does anyone know of any good resources for sending text messages using PHP? I have Googled this topic and found a few, but find it hard to judge which ones are good. I have also looked at the SAM package, but wasn't sure how much that is being used by the community.

I wouldn't do it that way. A single class should not be a database

fair enough, although personally I find that going a bit far, I don't
see the win in splitting up the 'driver' and 'connection manager'. not
that this is the problem in this case.
You wouldn't be having this upgrade problem if static DB::query(...)
wasn't there, and it's there because class DB is a client library *and*
a connection manager. So I'd say this design mistake (and the fact that
PHP allowed you to have almostatic methods) are the problem in this case.
I might plead with internals for: ;-)
class DB {
almostatic function query() { /*existence of $this is MY problem */ }
}
Existence of $this is YOUR problem only as long as you don't share the
code with anybody else. At that moment, you have made life harder for
someone else.
though I can't see atm how the connection management is the problem,
I assume you think this because of the way connection ids and transaction ids
in
ibase are interchangable.
No, I've had virtually zero exposure to Interbase/Firebird, and have had
no idea about the phenomenon you mention. I think it's a problem
because of the ways it reduces quality of the code.
Or does DB not handle database connections? If not, how come the static
call DB::query(SELECT fubar FROM snafu) works? Guess it does things
besides querying (probably why it's a generic DB in the first place).
regardless I have a problem, I'll keep looking at the code until a clean
solution
presents itself, it's in/out there somewhere.
I could easily split out the actual connection management into a
seperate object but I'd still be stuck with the problem described
above (which is not actually related to connection management).
Not if you make the separation visible to the client code, which, as you
I don't follow you here. could you try an explain it in idiot language? :-P
Split the two functions, and don't try to hide the fact that they're two
functions; after all, if you do it correctly, the static one will
probably end in a different class.
write below, is actually only a fraction of those 1's of lines of
code.
Do those 1's of lines of code concern you? rlynch says indirection
and separation of concerns are useless, you either have decent
programmers and global search replace, or you don't.
yes no. I don't have an endless budget or legions of world-class
analysts, designers and programmers at my disposal for building
megabucks codebases that implement near-on perfect loosely-coupled
application designs, and I don't have the same legion to do search and
replace.
I'm at a complete loss then. Richard, what would you advise to someone
in such a messy situation?
my advice to myself is find a way to fix it, and then do it - not sure
what exactly that means in terms of design or code but I figure that has to be
an answer/solution somewhere :-)
Don't try to cram connection management into a db client driver class.
The rest will just fall out of it.

[PHP] Session with microtime
hello,
I'm writting a script where I use the function microtime with sessions and I
have a problem.
This is my code:
if( $_SESSION['uperm'] == '1' ){
$t_start = microtime(1);
}
()
if( $_SESSION['uperm'] == '1' ){
$t_end = microtime(1) - $t_start;
$time .= \n . 'PThis page was loaded in ' .
number_format($t_end, 3) . ' seconds./P';
}
And when I log with any account (admin or user) is echoed to me something
like this:
This page was loaded in 1,177,003,846.594 seconds.
This is too much because the page isn't loaded in this time. And when I
refresh the page it appears:
This page was loaded in 0.012 seconds.
Why is this? I can't explain.
And this started to appear when I put the if to check the user
permissions. If I turn off the if it'll run normally.
Can anyone explain why is that?
Thanks in advance.

This is my code:

Sounds to me like it is creating the $_SESSION['uperm'] value after you are calling the previous

do this
if ( $_SESSION['uperm'] == '1' ) {
$t_start = microtime(1);
die('I made it here');

if it does not die(), then you know that it isn't getting into this first IF
statement.
also, sounds like you have E_WARNING E_NOTICE turned off. I would suggest that you enable these by
placing this at the very top of your script. ( at least for debugging purpose, not in production )
?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
.

this will probably if you a notice not that the variable $t_start is undefined when try and hit the
following block of code.
()

Thanks, Daniel This is a poor place to find an answer, because the one thing that stands out is that this is a problem with php, not Sendmail, and this is a Sendmail newsgroup not a php newsgroup.

Can anyone explain why is that?
You've messed up and put the session_start() inside the if( )block.
Put session_start at the very top of the file, *BEFORE* the $_SESSION
variable is used for anything at all.

Sorry burst your bubble, but your solution isn't a viable one in my case.
php://input only works if the form is submitted using
application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Take your sample HTML code there and add enctype=multipart/form-data
to the form tag, and I'm pretty sure you'll find that php://input
contains no data. (Both PHP 5.2.1 running as a CGI on Windows and PHP
5.2.0 running as an Apache module on FreeBSD exhibit this behaviour.)
And before anyone asks, it *is* a requirement to accept
multipart/form-data submissions because that's the only way you can
properly implement a file upload on a web form.

That's not been my experience. I've tested it with enctype=multipart/form-data, since that's what you asked for, though the enctype wasn't included in my sample code. I've run it on PHP Version = 5.1.6 (Fedora core 4) and PHP 4.3.11 Fedora core 2. Here it is on Fedora 2: http://www.mturner.org/temp/post_data.php The code is http://www.mturner.org/temp/post_data.phps That latter is just a symbolic link to the former. It's possible that there's been a change in 5.2 that changes this behavior, or possibly the way the FreeBSD and Windows handle STDOUT.

Apache won't have rights to access the network, you need to read:

You would have to parse the POST data yourself, but it is technically a possibility. That was also in the back of my mind when responding. When file uploads first came out and weren't yet handled by the Perl CGI module, we had to learn to parse the input stream ourselves. It's still not clear why that should be necessary at this time. For instance, if it's necessary to pass in CGI parameters at the same time as sending out a file, the parameters can be tacked onto a query string and they will be packed into both the $_POST and the $_GET arrays. -- _ Myron Turner http://www.room535.org http://www.bstatzero.org http://www.mturner.org/XML_PullParser/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] retrieve POST body?
Interesting... But how will the user-agent know how to pack the data? AFAIK, if you don't specify enctype in the form tag, the user-agent will assume application/x-www-form-urlencoded. I'm assuming that if you put in something that's not recognized (like multipart/x-non-parsed-form-data), the user-agent won't know what it is and will again default to application/x-www-form-urlencoded. So to use the dirty hack suggested by Rasmus in that IRC log, I'd need some way of instructing the user-agent to use multipart/form-data, but then destroy the Content-Type header in the request *before* PHP sees it and snags the body.

Re: [PHP] retrieve POST body?
Regarding some discussion a while back about putting in a feature request for obtaining the POST body... I can see the advantage of streaming the POST body directly to disk, because then you don't have to allocate a huge amount of memory for keeping a copy of the POST body in a variable. So maybe (and this is wishful thinking), a feature could be added to PHP where the entire POST body, unaltered, is streamed to a file in the same fasion as those individual temporary files referenced in the $_FILES[] array. Then for HTTP digest authenticated requests with integrity protection, I could just call md5_file() on this special file, and my world would be a whole lot simpler! (And any other script programmers, should they need to access the POST body for whatever reason, can just read the file and parse it however necessary. No gigantic memory overhead involved.) Just a thought. Gregory Beaver wrote: Good news and bad news.
