As it can't be done I tried to unset an object by unsetting a reference
of this object but it has no effect on the object but only on the
reference.
Should unset destroy the reference itself and the object ???
if you don't think so can you think of something different to destroy
both of them like I don't know, destroy($obejctsreference)
Regards.
Reproduce code:
---
?
$x = new stdClass();
$x-a = 'ayayaye';
$b[0] = $x;
unset($b[0]);
var_dump($x);
?
Expected result:
NULL
Actual result:
--
object(stdClass)#1 (1) {
[a]=
string(7) ayayaye
}
So if you unset a reference you are dereferencing it. If you want to
unset both, then unset the object, in this case $x.
I think he should unset all references to the object, $x and $b[0] as
well.

You mean you've never had a function like getCoordinates()? Or

functions that return multiple values as an array? Wow, how odd!
Cheers,
Rob.
getCoordinates() would return a Point object
getUsers() would return a Group object...
Not rocket science ;)
I wouldn't consider an array of user objects to be multiple
things. I consider it a single aggregate thing, and return arrays
all the time. That's conceptually different from wanting two
separate return values from a function, which is indeed conceptually
icky.
Yes, an aggregate is comprised of multiple things usually. Hence when
decomposing the concept you are indeed returning multiple values-- both
points of view are valid. If you receive a parcel of 100 pens. I can
say, has the parcel arrived yet (one entity) or have the pens arrived
yet (multiple entities).
At any rate, the O.P. wanted to return multiple values called $x and $y.
It seems quite reasonable to assume he was returning something akin to
coordinates but didn't know how to do so by binding them in an
aggregating structure such as an array, or if you wish, an object.
Cheers,
Rob.
seriously, whats wrong with returning an array? half the standard php
functions return array's, therefore at least half of php has been
designed badly..?
ps: when working with co-ordinates / GIS data you should really be
using wkb data instead, it's much faster. [unpack]
What's wrong with it? Hmm..
Half of PHP functions DO return arrays, I'll grant you that. The reason?
It's untyped. If PHP were a typed language, and it still returned arrays
for a lot, I definitely think it would be designed poorly.
At any rate, returning an array from your Objects increases the burden
and shifts it to the client of your API. For instance, if we take an
example mentioned above *getUsers()* which returned an arbitrary number
of User objects you could potentially use it like this.
userupdater.php
?php
$x = Users::getUsers($somefilter)
foreach ($x as $user) {
$user-update();
}
?
Keep in mind. You'll have to rewrite that functionality in multiple
areas. As opposed to:
?php
$x = Users::getGroup($somegroup); // returns a group of users
$x-update(); // can be reused wherever instead of having to loop
through every user on the client side.
?
I hope you can see past my (basic) example to understand where I am
headed with this.
I would, and do, use this magic :)
Users::GetGroup($somegroup)-update();
Simple, Even less typing then yours :p

My biggest gripe with tab delimited files is that they are quite a bit bigger than comma delimited files so I may have to split the large files I receive into smaller 'chunks' to allow them to be uploaded. This is not making sense... A tab-delimited file wil have a TAB character \t instead of comma , A tab WITHIN the data then needs escaping as \t or somesuch. But commas to not need escaping with quotes. And quotes don't need escaping with double-quotes. So tab-delimited should be a TINY bit smaller or the same size. Perhaps your users are just uploading more data. One thing I have noticed is that the files I create in my PHP script (The script breaks a large file into smaller files of 25,000 records/rows each.) when opened in Excel (by double-clicking the file in Windows Explorer) came up with an unrecognised file format message for all files except the first. If you ignore this message the tab delimited files open OK but the comma separated ones do not. The except the first made me think that there may be something hidden at the beginning of the file to say what type of data follows. Some CSV files include a header line with the names of the fields in the first line. This is less common in tab-delimited, but not unheard of. If it's any help the data I'm getting comes out of a third party Cognos environment. The data opened into Textpad looks like this : Column One Column Two Column ThreeColumn Four Column Five Column Six Column Seven ABCDE XX99DCS HORSE 1 200602 ABFED XX99DCS HORSE 1 200602 JHGNF XX99DCS HORSE 1 200602 HNDGE XX99DCS HORSE 1 200602 Tab delimited no? This file is 385KB. If I open it into Excel just by double-clicking on it it opens fine. I then do File Save As, change Unicode Text (*.txt) to CSV (Comma Delimited)(*.csv) and give it a name then Save. This new file is now 193KB and looks like this in Textpad : Column One,Column Two,Column Three,Column Four,Column Five,Column Six,Column Seven ABCDE,XX99,DCS,HORSE,1,2006,2 ABFED,XX99,DCS,HORSE,1,2006,2 JHGNF,XX99,DCS,HORSE,1,2006,2 HNDGE,XX99,DCS,HORSE,1,2006,2 Double-clicking on this newly created file opens fine into Excel. Back to my 'original' problem/question, if I '$f = fopen($file, r)' and 'while ($data = fgets($f))' on the above first format and do a $data = str_replace(\t,,,$data); the resulting file looks like the second example above when opened into Textpad but will not open into separate columns when opened with Excel. I thought these were supposed to be simple, basic flat text formats that were universally accepted, guess I'm just naive ;-) I'm on the verge of simply giving in, and continuing to Open Save As the 100+ files I have to process in the next week or so :-( -- Graham -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] base url and SEF

Example: http://www.example.com/~eric/program/index.php?option=abc What I'm interested in getting is http://www.example.com/~eric/program/;, which I am able to get currently. Questions 1) Are there security implications in using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], and if so, how do I mitigate it? 2) Is using this method safe for all sorts of browsers/servers that run php? 3) If I install an SEF software so that my url looks like http://www.example.com/~eric/program/a/b/c ,what will $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] show?

Assunto: [PHP] Help on running external command
Hi,
I need to run an eternal command from a PHP page.
My code is:
$username= 'lixo';
$username = 'lixo';
exec('su - vpopmail -c
/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake/home/vpopmail/domains/wwlib.lan/ . $username');
But I get the error:
/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake/home/vpopmail/domains/wwlib.lan/: Not a
directory
Which means that the $username variable isn't being appended to the string.
Any help would be appreciated.

you're putting . and a variable inside a string delimited by ' which
will never work.
to avoid confusion like this, why not build the string first, then
exec() it? that way you can always echo out the string to check what
might be the problem.

Hi all,
I'm currently parsing the variable $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to get the

Questions
1) Are there security implications in using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], and
if so, how do I mitigate it?
2) Is using this method safe for all sorts of browsers/servers that run php?
3) If I install an SEF software so that my url looks like
http://www.example.com/~eric/program/a/b/c ,what will
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] show?
1.) No more than any other predefined superglobal.[1]
2.) Yes, though the browser has nothing to do with PHP.
3.) It will show what should be in PHP_SELF: the name of the
parent script.[2]
FOOTNOTES:
[1] $_SERVER is what's called a SUPERGLOBAL in PHP. The same
as $_POST, $_GET, $_REQUEST, $_COOKIE, $_FILES, $_ENV, and $_SESSION.
Moreover, $GLOBALS shows all globals within the scope of a script.
For more information, check out:
http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php
[2] PHP_SELF is a reserved and predefined variable. Check out
the scope of $_SERVER right here:

In my opinion if you have a need for a class to destroy itself then you have a fundamental design flaw. I want the object to be destroyed when a specific method of this object is called because when it has been called, the object has no reason to exist anymore. It's like a SQL resource, when you have freed it, you don't need it anymore. As it can't be done I tried to unset an object by unsetting a reference of this object but it has no effect on the object but only on the reference. Should unset destroy the reference itself and the object ??? No, it's not meant to (and I doubt it will change). Why do you want it to do that? What is the original problem you're trying to solve? I put SQL resources into an objects and I would like to destroy objects when calling method free() but obviously I can't. I don't understand why you need to destroy the class instance to clear up member variables. Or am I not understanding your diction?

You mean you've never had a function like getCoordinates()? Or

getCoordinates() would return a Point object
getUsers() would return a Group object...
Not rocket science ;)
I wouldn't consider an array of user objects to be multiple
things. I consider it a single aggregate thing, and return arrays
all the time. That's conceptually different from wanting two
separate return values from a function, which is indeed conceptually
icky.
Yes, an aggregate is comprised of multiple things usually. Hence when
decomposing the concept you are indeed returning multiple values--
both
points of view are valid. If you receive a parcel of 100 pens. I can
say, has the parcel arrived yet (one entity) or have the pens
arrived
yet (multiple entities).
At any rate, the O.P. wanted to return multiple values called $x
and $y.
It seems quite reasonable to assume he was returning something akin to
coordinates but didn't know how to do so by binding them in an
aggregating structure such as an array, or if you wish, an object.
Cheers,
Rob.
seriously, whats wrong with returning an array? half the standard php
functions return array's, therefore at least half of php has been
designed badly..?
ps: when working with co-ordinates / GIS data you should really be
using wkb data instead, it's much faster. [unpack]
What's wrong with it? Hmm..
Half of PHP functions DO return arrays, I'll grant you that. The reason?
It's untyped. If PHP were a typed language, and it still returned arrays
for a lot, I definitely think it would be designed poorly.
At any rate, returning an array from your Objects increases the burden
and shifts it to the client of your API. For instance, if we take an
example mentioned above *getUsers()* which returned an arbitrary number
of User objects you could potentially use it like this.
userupdater.php
?php
$x = Users::getUsers($somefilter)
foreach ($x as $user) {
$user-update();
}
?
Keep in mind. You'll have to rewrite that functionality in multiple
areas. As opposed to:
?php
$x = Users::getGroup($somegroup); // returns a group of users
$x-update(); // can be reused wherever instead of having to loop
through every user on the client side.
?
I hope you can see past my (basic) example to understand where I am
headed with this.
I would, and do, use this magic :)
Users::GetGroup($somegroup)-update();
Simple, Even less typing then yours :p
:P. I use that method, too.
It really sucks for debugging though, because what if
GetGroup($somegroup) returns a null or unexpected value?
Yeah, it sucks. But, doesn't occur enough to be too annoying ;)

functions that return multiple values as an array? Wow, how odd!
Cheers,

getCoordinates() would return a Point object
getUsers() would return a Group object...
Not rocket science ;)
I wouldn't consider an array of user objects to be multiple
things. I consider it a single aggregate thing, and return arrays
all the time. That's conceptually different from wanting two
separate return values from a function, which is indeed conceptually
icky.
Yes, an aggregate is comprised of multiple things usually. Hence when
decomposing the concept you are indeed returning multiple values--
both
points of view are valid. If you receive a parcel of 100 pens. I can
say, has the parcel arrived yet (one entity) or have the pens
arrived
yet (multiple entities).
At any rate, the O.P. wanted to return multiple values called $x
and $y.
It seems quite reasonable to assume he was returning something akin to
coordinates but didn't know how to do so by binding them in an
aggregating structure such as an array, or if you wish, an object.
Cheers,
Rob.
seriously, whats wrong with returning an array? half the standard php
functions return array's, therefore at least half of php has been
designed badly..?
ps: when working with co-ordinates / GIS data you should really be
using wkb data instead, it's much faster. [unpack]
What's wrong with it? Hmm..
Half of PHP functions DO return arrays, I'll grant you that. The reason?
It's untyped. If PHP were a typed language, and it still returned arrays
for a lot, I definitely think it would be designed poorly.
At any rate, returning an array from your Objects increases the burden
and shifts it to the client of your API. For instance, if we take an
example mentioned above *getUsers()* which returned an arbitrary number
of User objects you could potentially use it like this.
userupdater.php
?php
$x = Users::getUsers($somefilter)
foreach ($x as $user) {
$user-update();
}
?
Keep in mind. You'll have to rewrite that functionality in multiple
areas. As opposed to:
?php
$x = Users::getGroup($somegroup); // returns a group of users
$x-update(); // can be reused wherever instead of having to loop
through every user on the client side.
?
I hope you can see past my (basic) example to understand where I am
headed with this.
I would, and do, use this magic :)
Users::GetGroup($somegroup)-update();
Simple, Even less typing then yours :p
:P. I use that method, too.
It really sucks for debugging though, because what if
GetGroup($somegroup) returns a null or unexpected value?
Yeah, it sucks. But, doesn't occur enough to be too annoying ;)
You built it, make sure it doesn't return anything other than what you want!

RE: [PHP] What community software package gets your vote? PHPfox etc...
There are lots out there and the free ones like PHP Nuke (perhaps the grand daddy of em all) have all suffered from security issues. The price is free (http://www.phpnuke.org), but the risk is that because hackers can get the same free source, they can identify weeknesses and exploit them, making themselves seem to be more clever than they really are (Hacking is an ego trip I think, and what seems like a shortcut to coding fame, in a world where hard work is considered for suckers). Many of the original really bad exploits have been resolved, but a few remain. Sites that allow anyone to register, and then post content, like comments on articles or actual articles, is a gold mine to SEO mavins, and you will find content being posted with comments containing site reference pointers to porn sites designed to improve search engine rankings of these same sites.

Re: [PHP] unable to unset reference
I don't mean unset($this) is the best wy to allow an object to destroy itself. I just say we miss something to auto destroy objects. We could also think about a magic method like __destroy(). An object that destroys itself is a really bad idea from an architectural point of view. I, as a consumer of your class, need to have control over the lifetime of any instances I create. In my opinion if you have a need for a class to destroy itself then you have a fundamental design flaw. I want the object to be destroyed when a specific method of this object is called because when it has been called, the object has no reason to exist anymore. It's like a SQL resource, when you have freed it, you don't need it anymore. $my_object = new Blah(); $my_object-DoStuff(); unset($my_object); As long as you don't have any references (as in these sort: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php) to $my_object then the memory will be freed. I would like to implement it in order to delete automaticly from memory useless objects. It can be really useful for example to make schedulers in PHP in order to avoid max memory usage exceeded errors. Sprinkle your code with memory_get_usage() calls and see where your memory is being used and concentrate on the areas with big jumps first. php can definitely support long running scripts with an even amount of memory used (mine run for 3-4 hours on a prod machine and use no more than 6-10meg depending on data). Another approach would be to use xdebug and profile your scripts and concentrate on the areas that use the most cpu time because they'll probably be the most called code. http://xdebug.org/docs/profiler -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

try setting an absolute path to the text file e.g.

Re: [PHP] Sending SMS via PHP
HI, The vast majority of carriers have a free to use email to sms gateway for their clients phones. There is a list of each carriers format for the email address. Have someone select the carrier in the form when entering the phone number then you have it sent to the email as specified by the carrier.

The thing with SMS is volume. Most commercial (bulk SMS) service providers do provide a return path at a price, but this can get really expensive especially at low volumes. What you need to do is ask yourself whether you are going to do high volume SMS or not, and look at when do the commercial providers become more economical? What a lot of people do, is sign up for an account and end up sending only 50 or so SMS a month, which is silly, when for the same price as a month or two's subscription, you could buy your own GSM modem and a prepaid SIM card and do it for half the price yourself. --Paul All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/public/portal_services/disclaimer.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If I was holding an Easter Egg basket right now, could you tell me how many eggs I had in it? Why don't you provide some useful code examples! Namely: 1. Show us some context 2. What is in $regex 3.

Hey party people. I have to say I’m a little surprised no hooting and hollering on this topic. I don’t think I heard a single positive comment which worries me.

Re: [PHP] fail on preg_match_all
Just a follow-up on this, the problem was 'Fatal error: Allowed memory
size of 8388608 bytes exhausted'
After some nice help, I found that this is actually a common problem
with intense regexes in php. Quick fix is using ini_set() to increase
your memory_limit to something massive, like '400M'. This gives your
script access to that much memory for its life-time. If you have this
problem, then you probably also have to do this
set_time_limit(0); //remove any max execution time
Hamilton
PS - for anyone confused, here was the script . . . i didnt think it was
that confusing, sorry guys!
function parse_access($file_name)
{
// read file data into variable
$fh = fopen($file_name, 'r') or die(cant open file for reading);
$theData = fread($fh, filesize($file_name));
fclose($fh);
// perform regex
$regex = '!(\d{0,3}\.\d{0,3}\.\d{0,3}\.\d{0,3}) - -
\[(\d{2})/(Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Aug|Oct|Nov|Dec)/(\d{4}):(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})
-\d+] {1,4}GET ([._0-9\-%a-zA-Z/,?=]+) ([.0-9a-zA-Z%/\-,_?]+) (\d{3})
(\d+) \[(.+?)] \[(.+?)] \[(.+?)] (\d+) (\d+) (\d+) (\d+) (\d+) (\d+)!';
//echo $regex . 'brbrhrbr';
$num = preg_match_all($regex, $theData, $match, PREG_SET_ORDER);
//echo after regex - we are still alive!;
//go on to do some boring stuff, like write this to an array,
perform stuff, graph stuff, blah blah
}
