That's pretty messed up.

Messed up? That would be a disaster. It could happen to hot pants too!

[PHP] Special Bonus For Switching Over From SunRocket!

2007-08-09 Thread VoIPTelco.net

Hi,

I want to introduce you to a new phone service that I'm using. It's called 
VoIPTelCo and it transforms your high speed Internet connection into a regular 
phone line. It works just like your current telephone service except it's 40% - 
60% cheaper. You get features like Call Waiting, Caller ID Display, Voicemail, 
3-Way calling, Call Forwarding and many more for a fraction of what you're 
paying now. You can even keep your existing number if you decide to switch to 
their service.

With VoIPTelCo, I also save money on long distance calling. Unlike a regular 
phone line, VoIPTelCo is portable, which means I can get phone service 
anywhere in the world. All I need is high speed Internet access. For example, I 
use my VoIPTelCo service when I travel and there are no long distance fees 
because these calls are considered local. I save so much money just on this 
alone.

Right now, VoIPTelCo is offering a ONE MONTH FREE trial period to friends and 
families of their customers. There is no obligation and it is completely free. 
If you'd like to try them out, just click on the link below and you will 
receive a 30 days trial period, free of charge:

http://www.voiptelco.net

Hope you'll find this useful.

?

and this is the class that called it

?php

$obj   = new TaskCLDAO();
$obj-setDB($db); //  i have another file called config that initialized the db;
$res   = $obj-findWithRelation(1);

?

but the php's said

Fatal error: Cannot access empty property...

what does it mean ?? is there another way to access $db that parent have ?

 Subject: [PHP] ORM framework suggestion

 Hello All,

 I'm thinking of using an ORM framework for a new project. From my
 research, I've found Propel and Doctrine (of course, there might be
 others).

 Would anyone suggest what ORM framework they're using right now? I am
 experienced with OOP and am just looking for a framework to speed
 things up.

 I can perhaps test-drive both frameworks above and see what works
 better for me but maybe there are users here who's have had experience
 with either one (or better, both).

 Regards,
 Matt

Have a look at Qcodo: http://www.qcodo.com

If you're not after a full framework, just use the code generator to build
your ORM. I've been using it for about a year now and found it excellent.

There should not be a $ before db. It should be $this-db. That's why 
PHP is telling you the property is empty... because it is.

In function getDb()

  return $this-$db;

should be:

  return $this-db;

Also, although not strictly required, I suggest you add the public keyword
to your methods that don't specifiy their visibility.

[PHP] HTTP methods, Web Browsers and REST

all,

some time ago i read about
RESThttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer
.
at first i thought for web services SOAP is much better for the self
describing feature of the WSDL.
then, reading through the Zend certification preparation book, there was a
section on using POST
vs. GET to request data from the server.  The section said in general to use
GET when information on
the server was not going to me altered.
So i have now started to set the method attribute of the form tag to get on
those forms that do not
modify data on the server.  Looking over PHP i can see a web service client
could be written for a
RESTful web service using the curl extension (and perhaps others as well)
because it facilitates an
ability to invoke the HTTP PUT and DELETE methods.
Now, coming to my question..  Looking at the W3C page on the XHTML 1.0 form
tag specification http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_form.asp, it is
clear the method attribute supports only  get and post.  What i wonder is
why would it not also support
put and delete?  im sure javascript could be used to invoke the put and
delete methods, but is there a way
to do this w/ XHTML ?
certainly it would be cleaner to map actions in an application to specific
http methods rather than have an
action variable or whatever on every page.  since the form tag supports get
and post, still on every page
that offers add / delete functionality an action (or similar) variable is
still necessary.

can someone speak to this ?

thanks,

-nathan

[PHP] Segmentation fault on PHP CLI

2007-08-09 Thread Martin Marques

console:


/usr/bin/php  -f /path/to/script.php

Script executes great, and everything it has to do gets done, but it 
throughs a segmentation fault at the end.


Is there anyway to debug PHP CLI? I'm using php5 from debian etch:

Why might this not work? I tried using ini_set(magic_quotes_gpc, 0 | 0 |
FALSE | FALSE ) and none of these worked either locally on my dev system

Same version on both. The idea is to use the same version, so we don't

Because, by the time your script starts executing, any magic_quotes_gpc

[PHP] Code Igniter for 'novices' ?

2007-08-09 Thread Steve Finkelstein

Hi all,

This isn't a 'which framework is better than the other' question. I'm a
novice developer and I'm looking to conform to an MVC model for my
applications. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough and has used
code igniter, to respond to me and let me know their thoughts on it, and if
it's a good framework to work with as a novice.

I eventually hope to learn the core values and build my own robust
framework.

Thanks :-)

Re: [PHP] Code Igniter for 'novices' ?

steve,

though i havent used code igniter i consider the tutorials on the site
demonstrating how to use it quite valuable.
i think they are valuable because they can show people who arent familiar w/
a development flow,
using an mvc framework, what its like, in general.
i have heard good things about code igniter.

if you want to learn the core values, i recommend opp and design patterns.
here is a nice free site to get you headed in the right direction for php.

[PHP] Exceptions

2007-08-09 Thread Peter Pan


Peeps,

I'm having an issue where throwing Exceptions are displaying a blank page 
even though the Exception is being caught in a try...catch statement.  This 
is happening on our production server where warnings, errors, exceptions, 
etc. are not to be displayed to the user.  The assumption is that even 
though an Exception is being thrown it should be caught rather than 
displaying a blank page.  Is there a specific configuration variable that 
needs to be set in php.ini to allow warnings to not be displayed but 
Exceptions to still be caught?  Or is this just a bug?  Here is some code 
that replicates the issue:


try {
   closeCallTracker($appId, $salesRepId);
} catch (Exception $e) {
   // No need to display anything to user if call tracker is not closed
}

function closeCallTracker($appId, $salesRepId) {

  // Some code here...

  // A pretty near example of why the Exception is being thrown in our 
system

  if ($callTrackerAlreadyClosed) {
 throw new Exception('Can not close a call tracker that has already 
been closed.');

  }
}

I'm expecting the program to continue as normal as the Exception has been 
caught appropriately... but instead this code is displaying a blank page.


We're using PHP: 5.1.2 on SuSe

This is really a bizarre issue and any help would be greatly appreciated.  
I've searched PHP.net and Google far too long on this issue.  Thank you in 
advance.

you are doing something called swallowing the exception.  it may make sense
for your application to
continue processing if the closeCallTracker method throws an error, but at a
minimum you should
log the details of the exception so that you know why its occurring;
something like:

try {
   closeCallTracker($appId, $salesRepId);
} catch (Exception $e) {
   // No need to display anything to user if call tracker is not closed
   MyPHPLog::logMsg($e-getMessage());
}

also, i would assume processing does continue after you swallow the
exception.  in order to determine
why a blank page is displaying you should follow the logic in your
application to the point where it sends
html to the client browser during a case where the closeCallTracker() method
throws an error.

Re: [PHP] Exceptions

2007-08-09 Thread Peter Pan


Nathan,

I was hoping for a bug!  I'll take a deeper look at the ini.  More research 
is needed, me thinks.


It's become apparent that throwing an Exception for this particular case 
doesn't really make sense.  I'll just return early rather than throwing an 
exception.  The logging suggestion is a great idea, but not realistic given 
the amount of times this function is called.


Thank you for your help!  I'll update the list with my findings.

Hi

What is the proper way to get the ADODB class to automatically add

I'm guessing that the below fails because none of the variables get
quoted with the method, qstr.

$sql = insert into email (to_name, to_email, from_name, from_email,
subject, message, timestamp, ip) ;
$sql .= values ($to_name, $to_email, $from_name, $from_email,
$subject, $message, $time, $ip);


I tried something like the below to no avail
$sql .= values($conn-qstr($to_name), $conn-qstr
($to_email), ...);


Is there an accepted way to place multiple $variables inside an ADODB
insert statement?

[PHP] Forwarding $_POST[]...

2007-08-09 Thread Tony Di Croce

I keep wanting to do something, and either I dont know how to do it, or I'm
doing something wrong and need to rethink things.

Quite often, I have a form that submits to a php script via POST and after
doing some processing (or more frequently, asking the user a question), I'd
like to forward those $_POST[] vars to another script (or even the same
script).

I could do something complicated and store the $_POST vars in $_SESSION[],
but what I'd rather do is simply add a var to $_POST[] and resubmit this to
the same .php.

Is their any way to do this, or do I need to rethink things?

PHP does not have a type of tinyint

knowing now that this comes from a database, if it is mysql, then it is of type 
string

PHP converts all fields when pulled from the database into strings.  It does not take into account 
what type the field is actually set to in mysql.


Try puting a (int) in front of the condition like this

if ( (int)$userValues['afterDark'] == 0 ) {
...
}

Maybe this will help



That would be the type in the database, not the type of that variable at 
that time.

Sounds like an architectural issue to me. Think about why you want to do 
this. Can you not just include the other script rather than causing 
another HTTP request?

but what I'd rather do is simply add a var to $_POST[] and resubmit this to

Let me get this straight... you want to add a variable to the $_POST 
array and then re-run the current script? Put the functionality you need 
into a function and then use standard control structures (while, if, 
foreach, etc) to call it over and over again if necessary. There's 
absolutely no need to cause another HTTP request.



Is their any way to do this, or do I need to rethink things?


Rethink things. There's almost certainly a better way but without 
knowing why you think you need to do this it's not possible to help any 
further.

2007-08-09 Thread Simon

Session variables is a decent way.
Storing them in a DB session can be good too
It all depends on the data.

The dumbest (but still correct) way to do it is a for() loop that
creates a hidden input with the name/value pair for each variables you
want.

I would advise against resending the username/password over and over.

Put the processing in a function, run the post variables through the

hold on now. you might want to make sure and escape data before you just throw it into the query 
like that.


His method was just fine, but the problem is is that the $obj-method() thing wont work in a quoted 
string.


If he had E_NOTICE turned on, he would see the error.

what needs to happen is that he needs to break out of the double quotes and concat the string(s) and 
method calls together like this.


$sql .= values(.$conn-qstr($to_name)., .$conn-qstr($to_email).,

You can do either one, Tony --- rethink or go ahead with it.

Check out the cURL functions if you want to forward the variables
as a POST to a different script.  Otherwise, if you're just trying to
add new values to the $_POST array to be processed further down the
script, simply add them.

$_POST['new_name'] = new value;

Full search ability on both sides. They can even opt for Hot Resumes

RE: [PHP] I know this is not easy and I'm not stupid but...

Hi!

Still I am curious what var_dump($userValues['afterDark']); at line 102.5
would return. 
I managed to recreate that fault with 

$var['test'] = blah;

echo ($var['test']);

if( $var['test'] == 0)
{
echo ok;

//this returns blahok -- not expected. 

In my case Var_dump() returns string(4) blah as expected.

Using 

if( $var['test'] === 0)

behaves as expected!!


Jim:
TypeCasting would only be effective if you used the type sensitive
comparison operator === , because with == 0 equals NULL equals false
equals  and so on ... or do I miss something here??


Hope that solves it for you! I'm still investigating why my first examples
fails. I've got the strong feeling that I'm missing something there. I don't
believe in a php bug or a memory leak in this case! Must be something pretty

Are you wanting to only test for a empty/non-empty string?

if so, use this.

if ( empty($var['test']) ) {

[PHP] preg_match_all to match img tags

2007-08-09 Thread Ólafur Waage

I know this isn't exactly a php related question but due to the
quality of answers ive seen lately ill give this a shot. (yes yes im
smoothing up the crowd before the question)

I have a weblog system that i am creating, the trouble is that if a
user links to an external image larger than 500pixels in width, it
messes with the whole layout.

I had found some regex code im using atm but its not good at matching
the entire image tag. It seems to ignore properties after the src
declaration and not match tags that have properties before the src
declaration .

preg_match_all(/\ *[img][^\]*[src] *= *[\\']{0,1}([^\\'\ ]*)/i,
$data, $matches);
print_r($matches);

This currently makes two arrays for me, the source location from all
img tags and a large part of the tag itself. But not the entire tag.

What i do is i match the img tag, find the src, get the image
properties, and if the width is more than 500, i shrink it down and
add width=X and height=Y properties to the image tag.

How can i match an image tag correctly so it does not cause any issues
with how the user adds the image.

Absolutely right. didn't think of that.

var_dump($userValues['afterDark']);  == string(1) 1

but then I'm comparing a string to an int and the result always seems  
to pass. So does that mean any string compared to any int will be true?
By casting (int)$userValues['afterDark'] the test still passes and  
var_dump shows the (int)$userValues['afterDark'] as an int(1) but  
does give a value like the previous example.
ie. string(1)1 but only int(1) Not sure if the expression has a  
value of 1 now that its been cast.


Then finally  if ( (int)$userValues['afterDark'] === 0 ) {//  
passes


So:
if ( $userValues['afterDark'] == 0 ) {  // passes
if ( (int)$userValues['afterDark'] == 0 ) {   // passes
if ( (int)$userValues['afterDark'] === 0 ) { // passes

And the value of afterdark in the mysql table is tinyint(1) 1.
And echo( 1+(int)$userValues['afterDark']);// outputs 2

Now I'm confused!

RE: [PHP] I know this is not easy and I'm not stupid but...

Hi! 
Thank you for your response! 

The only intention of my code was to investigate the (back then) unexpected
behavior of the if statement. 


With $var['test'] set to blah this expression should be false
($var['test'] == 0) for what I know ...

$var['test'] = blah;
var_dump($var['test'] == 0); 

//returns bool(true)

Now I know why this happens! According to Table 6.5 of the Operators page in
the PHP Manual in this comparison all of the values are converted to
integer. And  atoi(blah) for sure will fail!;-) So you have to use === to
keep the types of the values! 

Jan

RE: [PHP] get and post together

2007-08-09 Thread Daevid Vincent

I've done that on occasion, but do be careful what you are sending via
the GET.

It has a size limit for one (maybe 1k chars?) and it is trivial for
someone to modify.

I generally use GET when I think it's a page setup the user may wish
to bookmark (ie: page.php?orderby=namedescending=1report=69 )

And POST for submitting data that I want to save. (ie: add a new user
and all their glory).

I have done a mixture, such as page.php?action=deleteid=5 

But you have to be careful. I guess I always have some kind of user
class and verify they have permissions to use the page and or delete
said record anyways (logging failed attempts of course).

 I've set up a form with method=POST and target =page.php?foo=bar
 it works fine. $_POST[...] gives me the data I want and 
 $_GET['foo']=='bar'.
 I freely admit it's an ugly kludge, but is it bad?

Apache runs as the User setting in httpd.conf

If that User can rwx the files, then PHP can rwx the files.

If not, not.

It's that simple.

RE: [PHP] I know this is not easy and I'm not stupid but...

Ummh, no!

(int) and (integer) perform a C style atoi() conversion. 

(int)blah = integer 0
(int) = integer 0
(int)1= integer 1
(int)12   = integer 12

 (1 == 0) = false
 (blah == 0)  = true

( (int)$userValues['afterDark'] === 0 ) only is true, if
$userValues['afterDark'] is a string not containing an integer. This is what
happens:

$userValues['afterDark'] gets converted to integer by atoi(), and after that
is compared by type and value to integer 0. So the type part of the test
will pass for sure. 

But perhaps you should try to adapt the comparison to the DB value. So try
($userValues['afterDark'] == (string)0)
This expression is only true if $userValues['afterDark'] equals 0, not
when $userValues['afterDark'] equals  or blah or 1

Hope that helps!

Jan

Re: [PHP] Sorting files in a directory

Re-indent your code properly. If you do it will look like:

?php
$pattern = .html*|.php*;

if (is_dir(files/)) {
   if ($dh = opendir(files/)) {
   echo select name=\file\ size=\8\;
   while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
   if (ereg($pattern, $file))
   if(strpos($file,'.')0) {
   $file_array = array($file);
   sort ($file_array);

   foreach($file_array as $key = $value) {
   echo option value=\$value\.$value./option;
   }
   }
   }
   echo /select;
   closedir($dh);
   }
   }
?

You have a number of things you need to look at here. First, you don't have a final 
closing brace for your opening if() statement. Second, you're outputting the 
option tags INSIDE the while loop that reads the directory, so for every file 
you read your options list will get bigger. Well, it would, but you're also not using 
the right array append method; it should be:
   $file_array[] = $file;

Next, you don't want to sort the array every time you add a file to it - just 
do it once when you're done.

Try this:
?php
$pattern = .html*|.php*;

if (is_dir(files/)  $dh = opendir(files/)) {
   echo 'select name=file size=8';
   while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
   if (!ereg($pattern, $file)) continue;
   if(strpos($file,'.')1) continue;
   $file_array[] = $file;
   }

   sort ($file_array);
   foreach($file_array as $value) {
   echo 'option value=' . $value . '' . $value . '/option';
   }
   echo /select;
   closedir($dh);
}
?

Syntax check is left as an exe3rcise for the student. =)

style
#your_content_div img { max-width: 500px !important; }

OK, so it won't work with IE6. Screw them.

But if the height is set in the img tag it'll keep that, so the image 
could become distorted. So, you could also do something like:


#your_content_div img { visibility: none; }

Then run some Javascript routine onload to properly figure the 
dimensions of each image. Adjust the width down to 500px, if necessary, 
then the height by whatever percent difference between original width 
over new width:


var new_height = (original_width / 500) * original_height;

Then, whether you change the dimensions of the image or not, change the 
visibility of each to 'visible'.


So, um ... no PHP involved.
