Jim,
Please excuse the ignorance, I'm a newbie, but I'm only use to simple
SELECT, INSERT statements.
Your original code: $SQL = SELECT * FROM my_Table WHERE CONCAT(value1,
value2, value3) IN ('.join(',', $list).')
This can be broken down into smaller parts so to explain by example.
# This is to clean the input values for the SQL statement
function mysql_clean($value) {
return mysql_real_escape_string($value);
}
# Define your list of values to compare to
$list = array(
'6blue40lbs',
'7orange50lbs',
'8orange60lbs',
'9purple70lbs',
);
# You will want to do something like this with the values of the $list
# array just to make sure they are clean: reference the function above
array_walk($list, 'mysql_clean');
# This will return a string formated like this.
# '6blue40lbs','7orange50lbs','8orange60lbs','9purple70lbs'
$IN_VALUE = '.join(',', $list).';
$SQL = SELECT *
FROMmy_Table
WHERE CONCAT(value1, value2, value3)
IN ({$IN_VALUE});
# The final query string will look like this
SELECT *
FROMmy_Table
WHERE CONCAT(value1, value2, value3)
IN ('6blue40lbs','7orange50lbs','8orange60lbs','9purple70lbs')
# Now run this through your query function and get the results
$results = mysql_query($SQL) OR die('SQL Failure: '.$SQL);
So basically what we have is a comparison that is based off the output
of the CONCAT() function that creates one string out of value1, value2,
value3 and then compares that with each of the values listed within the
parenthesis. the IN (...) part of the SQL statement tells SQL that it
is getting a list of values that it should compare the concat() value
against.
Doing it this way, will allow you to only run one query instead of
running one per value that you want to compare against. As you can
tell, as your data set grows your multiple queries would drag your DB to
a halt
Hope this explains it.
Let me know if you need further explanation.
OK, I get everything up to the ('''.join(''','''$list).''')
I'm guessing that the .join( ). putting together some values, but I don't
know what
also the .join( ). is to be preceded by something... I don't know what.
//Forgive my ignorance, I'll can get it.
Also the .join( ). what is this doing I looked at the PHP and MySQL function
of each, and haven't seen comparable code.
I'm asking because I don't know where we're telling the code to compare the
values.
You stated...
and create one string from them
Where do I give the name to the string?
So this is where I am so far:
$sql = SELECT* FROM table WHERE CONCAT(size,color,weight) IN( );

Hello All,
I'm attempting to return rows from a mysql DB based on this criteria:

e.g.$varListof 3outOf_10Fields = array(6blue40lbs, 7orange50lbs,
8orange60lbs, 9purple70lbs);
The array contains 3 of the db row fields in 1 value. However there are
10 fields/columns in the table.

what table looks like |

size colorweight
ROW 1| value1 | value1 | value1 | value1 | value1 | value1 |
So how could I set up a query that would SELECT the entire row, if the
row contained $varListof 3outOf_10Fields[1].
Open to any suggestions or work arounds. I'm playing with extract()
but code is too crude to even post.
I would suggest approaching the problem with a slightly different
thought.
just have the sql concat() the columns together and then compare.
something like this should do the trick
$list = array(

this should take, for each row in the DB, value1 + value2 + value3 and

Let me know if you need any further help
one other thing, make sure that you run each of the values in the $list
array() through mysql_real_escape_string(). That way it is all nicely
encoded for the SQL statement.

[PHP] calling parent class method from the outside
Inside the body of method foo() you can of course use syntax like
parent::foo(). But is there a way to call the parent version of
obj-foo() outside the class? That kind of syntax is allowed in C++, for
example: Aclass a; if (a.Aparent::foo()) ...;
Some contrived example to illustrate the point:
class AParent {
public function foo() { .. }
}
class A extends AParent {
public function foo() {
doit($this, __CLASS__, __FUNCTION__);
}
}
function doit($obj, $classname, $funcname) {
if (...)
//$obj-classname_parent::$funcname();
}

Because you haven't got any HTML, CSS and Js background. Php was very easy to use (even I can use it) and in this situation handling php was minor problem (because of your programming background) And dealing HTML CSS and JS issues requires knowladge(lots of). Because you are going to mix up 3 different language (wich all of them having serious problems with different OS,Browsers,Versions etc) with using php glue. Also having good html design capability is beyond the language knowladge. www.webmonkey.com, www.sitepoint.com, www.phpbuilder.net are good point to start. Also Beatiful web design one of the best webs site design books also this kind of books wery hard to find (because most of them try to teach you html tag by tag). You may look some other photoshop books for generating images.

there is nothing in the language that provides this functionality
and I would argue that the caller should be able to do such things ...
the object should be in control of the functionality it provides not the user.
hmm, I don't think I explained that very well - I'm having a bit of a
brain freeze ...
if you need to expose parent::foo() via a subclass then you shouldn't
override it in the subclass but rather create a foo2() (for instance)

class AParent {
public function foo() { .. }

Thanks.
I agree with Jochem that if you find you need to do this, then you're
probably not designing the code correctly.
There are a few options in my mind that you can potentially use
depending on what you're actually doing:
1. Don't overload the function in A at all. Then you call $obj-foo(),
it will be the parent method that is called.
2. If you have a large chunk of code in the parent and you don't want to
reimplement it in the child as it's only slightly different, break up
the functionality into a Protected method:
Class AParent {
protected function foo_() {
}
public function foo() {
return $this-foo_()
}
}
class A extends AParent {
public function foo() {
$something = 'a bit different';
return $this-foo_();
}
3. Sometimes a neater version of the above can be used if you only ever
extend something:
Class AParent {
public function foo() {
}
}
class A extends AParent {
public function foo() {
$something = 'a bit different';
return parent::foo();
}

class A

This will bring all methods/properties from class A into class B.
You can choose to override class A methods/properties when you define class B.
But the idea here is that only need to write the methods/properties once in the
parent class,
then you can extend your class with class A and have all the methods/properties
available to you
within your current class.
It is good to practice the DRY principle here.

This will bring all methods/properties from class A into class B.
both methods properties of the parent (class A) are available assuming they
are public or protected - if you don't call the parent ctor the only
thing your missing is whatever initialization of data and/or property values
(etc)
would have been done by the parent ctor.
class A {
public function foo() {echo achoo;}
}
class B extends A {}
$b = new B;
$b-foo();
it is quite normal to call parent::__construct(); in the subclass' ctor but it's
not required to make methods/properties available and I don't see what baring
it has on the OP's question.
another solution for the OP might be (although I think it goes against all
design principles):
class A {
function foo() {
echo achoo\n;
}
}
class B extends A {
function foo() {
echo cough\n;
}
function __call($meth, $args) {
$func = array(parent, strtolower(str_replace(parent,, $meth)));
if (is_callable($func))
return call_user_func_array($func, $args);
}
}
$b = new B;
$b-foo();
$b-parentFoo();
You can choose to override class A methods/properties when you define

But the idea here is that only need to write the methods/properties once

[PHP] Replace/Update record in dbase using dbase_replace_record()
Ave,
Can¹t figure this one out. I¹m using the dbase_replace_record() function to
replace a record in a dbase (.dbf) database. I just want to replace the
value of one of the fields with another value. This is my code:
$db = dbase_open(CRUMBS.DBF, 2) or die(Fatal Error: Could not open
database!);
if ($db) {
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($db);
for ($i = 1; $i = $record_numbers; $i++) {
$row = dbase_get_record_with_names($db, $i);
if ($row['PHONE'] == $thekey) {
print_r($row);
$row['A'] == F;
dbase_replace_record($db, $row, 1);
}
}
}
dbase_close($db);
Basically I have a database called ³CRUMBS.DBF², and the record where PHONE
= $thekey, I want to replace the value of the field ³A² with ³F². I keep
getting the error: ³Wrong number of fields specified².
I have over 60 fields in each row and I just want to replace the value of
the field ³A².
Any suggestions?

Now will you mentally copy and paste the above code several times, doing
the necessary text substitutions, what will you get? Three identical
copies of doSetColumn() in each class! And the real doSetColumn() is a
bit heavier than a one-liner. We come full circle.

I'm trying to think of a use of this feature in my many C++ programs but can't think of a practical use of such a feature. I guess I'll have to think differently when designing things but I can't help but think that one of the major advantages of deriving classes is the extension and abstraction of your models. If I can pick and choose which parent's implementation of a given method is used then it could totally change how the classes are supposed to function. I guess you can make the parent methods protected but but would have other negative trade offs.

static methods? It turns out there's an implied $this being passed around?
the 'callback' type has a number of forms:
'myFunc'
array('className', 'myMeth')
array(self, 'myMeth')
array(parent, 'myMeth')
array($object, 'myMeth')
self and parent adhere to the same 'context' rules when used in
call_user_func*()
as when you use them directly - whether $this is present within the scope of the
called method is essentially down to whether the method being called is defined
as
static or not. AFAIK call_user_func*() respects PPP modifiers and works
transparently
with regard to access to the relevant object variable ($this)

Re: [PHP] Replace/Update record in dbase using dbase_replace_record()
Rahul Sitaram Johari wrote:
Ave,
Can¹t figure this one out. I¹m using the dbase_replace_record() function to
replace a record in a dbase (.dbf) database. I just want to replace the
value of one of the fields with another value. This is my code:
$db = dbase_open(CRUMBS.DBF, 2) or die(Fatal Error: Could not open
database!);
if ($db) {
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($db);
for ($i = 1; $i = $record_numbers; $i++) {
$row = dbase_get_record_with_names($db, $i);

print_r($row);
$row['A'] == F;
dbase_replace_record($db, $row, 1);
}
}
}
dbase_close($db);
Basically I have a database called ³CRUMBS.DBF², and the record where PHONE
= $thekey, I want to replace the value of the field ³A² with ³F². I keep
getting the error: ³Wrong number of fields specified².
I have over 60 fields in each row and I just want to replace the value of
the field ³A².
Any suggestions?
get a big jar of 'clue'. as in learn to investigate and read ...
not having ever used these functions here are my hypotheses based on 5 seconds
of
investigation and reading:
1. dbase_get_record_with_names() gives a assoc. array - it may also have
fields as indexed items in that array (like other DB extensions often do) ergo
double
the fields that you want.
2. quoting the following page: http://php.net/dbase_get_record_with_names
Return Values
An associative array with the record. This will also include a key named
deleted which is set to 1 if the record has
been marked for deletion
so dbase_replace_record() is possibly seeing 'deleted' as a extra erranous
field.
3. maybe looking at and comparing the output of print_r($row),
dbase_get_record_with_names($db, $i)
and dbase_get_record($db, $i) might tell you something;

Jim,
Please excuse the ignorance, I'm a newbie, but I'm only use to simple
SELECT, INSERT statements.
Your original code: $SQL = SELECT * FROM my_Table WHERE CONCAT(value1,
value2, value3) IN ('.join(',', $list).')
This can be broken down into smaller parts so to explain by example.
# This is to clean the input values for the SQL statement
function mysql_clean($value) {
return mysql_real_escape_string($value);
}
# Define your list of values to compare to
$list = array(
'6blue40lbs',
'7orange50lbs',
'8orange60lbs',
'9purple70lbs',
);
# You will want to do something like this with the values of the $list
# array just to make sure they are clean: reference the function above
array_walk($list, 'mysql_clean');
# This will return a string formated like this.
# '6blue40lbs','7orange50lbs','8orange60lbs','9purple70lbs'
$IN_VALUE = '.join(',', $list).';
$SQL = SELECT *
FROM my_Table
WHERE CONCAT(value1, value2, value3)
IN ({$IN_VALUE});
# The final query string will look like this
SELECT *
FROM my_Table
WHERE CONCAT(value1, value2, value3)
IN ('6blue40lbs','7orange50lbs','8orange60lbs','9purple70lbs')
# Now run this through your query function and get the results
$results = mysql_query($SQL) OR die('SQL Failure: '.$SQL);
So basically what we have is a comparison that is based off the output of
the CONCAT() function that creates one string out of value1, value2,
value3 and then compares that with each of the values listed within the
parenthesis. the IN (...) part of the SQL statement tells SQL that it is
getting a list of values that it should compare the concat() value
against.
Doing it this way, will allow you to only run one query instead of running
one per value that you want to compare against. As you can tell, as your
data set grows your multiple queries would drag your DB to a halt
Hope this explains it.
Let me know if you need further explanation.
OK, I get everything up to the ('''.join(''','''$list).''')
I'm guessing that the .join( ). putting together some values, but I don't
know what
also the .join( ). is to be preceded by something... I don't know what.
//Forgive my ignorance, I'll can get it.
Also the .join( ). what is this doing I looked at the PHP and MySQL
function of each, and haven't seen comparable code.
I'm asking because I don't know where we're telling the code to compare
the values.
You stated...
and create one string from them
Where do I give the name to the string?
So this is where I am so far:
$sql = SELECT* FROM table WHERE CONCAT(size,color,weight) IN( );

However there are 10 fields/columns in the table. === what table looks like | === size colorweight ROW 1| value1 | value1 | value1 | value1 | value1 | value1 | So how could I set up a query that would SELECT the entire row, if the row contained $varListof 3outOf_10Fields[1]. Open to any suggestions or work arounds.

sure it might be a neat little hack - __call() can be used for alsorts
of wonderful madness
It was late in the night over where I live when I replied :-) But now I
see that although your trick answers the subj perfectly, back then I
didn't make it clear that the real intention was to get rid of code
duplication in doSetColumn(). On closer inspection your trick would
force me to scatter identical copies of __call() in every model class
too, so I've gained nothing.
[snip]
and having read what you wrote about Propel/Symphony I still don't
get what the problem is that your trying to solve ... although I suspect
In Symfony/Propel you're on your own when things get to the point where
you have to put the submitted data into DB. The main idea is that for
columns that can be NULL the form submits empty values as empty string
'', but I'd rather make that NULL. You would argue that simply leaving
out the relevant update from the SQL clause would do the trick, but a
second, more important issue prevents skipping NULL and is the basis for
the former: for everything to work smoothly and transparently
Symfony/Propel _insists_ on pre-hydrating the object right before the
update, a requirement I cannot personally stand. So I've tried working
around the requirement by populating the model myself with form data
using setNew(false) and setXXX() calls. The real doSetColumn():
# these mutators help to skip pre-hydrating the object just to do an update
# treats NULL and empty string the same
# this also means empty input string will be converted to SQL NULL
private function doSetColumn($colname, $value, $col_mutator,
$mod_trigger_value = '')
{
if ($value == '')
$value = null;
if (call_user_func(array(__CLASS__ . 'Peer',
'getTableMap'))-getColumn($colname)-isNotNull()) {
if (is_null($value))
throw new Exception($col_mutator: $colname may
not be NULL);
} else {
if (is_null($value) !$this-isColumnModified($colname))
# XXX: as we don't know the current value in DB
# we need to force it to be set to NULL
parent::$col_mutator($mod_trigger_value);
}
parent::$col_mutator($value);
}
Hope you get the idea.
P.S.: I thought calling array('classname', 'method') only worked for
static methods? It turns out there's an implied $this being passed around?
the 'callback' type has a number of forms:
'myFunc'
array('className', 'myMeth')
array(self, 'myMeth')
array(parent, 'myMeth')
array($object, 'myMeth')
self and parent adhere to the same 'context' rules when used in
call_user_func*()
as when you use them directly - whether $this is present within the scope of the
called method is essentially down to whether the method being called is defined
as
static or not. AFAIK call_user_func*() respects PPP modifiers and works
transparently
with regard to access to the relevant object variable ($this)
This undocumented (?) feature is fairly nice. Unfortunately there's no
$this outside the class.

RE: [PHP] simple OCR in php

(all of these steps are straight forward once the number is read.) I have no problem with a system that requires a special OCR font and/or some sort of registration mark to help locate the Invoice number. Can anybody tell me of any tools out there that can do this? [/snip] In short PHP cannot perform OCR functions. You could insert an OCR application into the process and have the OCR app pass PHP the information. Really? So that OCR routine I wrote to hack a CAPTCHA doesn't exist? Weird. :-) If you really do want to write OCR in PHP, it's pretty trivial: http://php.net/imagecolorat You'll need to build up a dictionary of known characters and define a distance function to decide when two characters match or not, but it's not rocket science. It doesn't even qualify as Artificial Intelligence anymore. :-) But since you have standard un-obfuscated content, using exec() to run a well-established OCR package might be easier. Or not, as I could never get the dang things to work in the first place, personally. :-v YMMV NAIAA -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?

You're really better off, and it's WAY easier, to just throw some random big into the URL that affects nothing server-side, but makes every URL unique to the browser, so the cache is never used. -- Some people have a gift link here.
