I think apathy... for those who don't give a damn about OOP or the advanced OOP features, PHP5 brought little to the table while often requiring work to get your code there. Then followed multiple versions each with their own quirks all the while tightening a noose of OOP correctness around the developer who didn't care about some purists OOP philosophies. Finally, and this isn't particularly true anymore, PHP5 was much slower in earlier versions. And yes, I've modified my own code as things have progressed, but I certainly do have clients that didn't want me wasting their money converting their code-base (not originally written by me) to PHP5. And yes, I've seen terrible things in the code that PHP5 certainly did break. And again, yes, some of this was due to poor coding on the original developer's part... but hey, it DID work in PHP4. By forcing an end of life, PHP did a favour to all those developers who couldn't really make the case to their bosses or clients by forcing it upon them. The issue became much more salient at that point.

I hope to implement a OpenID 'frontend' in the future, but not straight away. I also consulted several friends, as well as some of my 18-year-old brothers friends - although a few were very comfortable with the internet and did understand, a lot were confused by the concept of a URL itself - they sort of understood when I explained it was a web address, but could not understand how to use this as a username: this is a fundamental problem of their discovery procedure, in my opinion.

[PHP] Re: Saving loading time at counting rows
I think, I will store the count and update it every 24 hours like tedd, says. I have thought of that earlier but was woundering if there might be another method. But I am wondering how google estimates the number of results, but I think that is a more complex thing :P. Thanks for the responses :) regards, Joep 2008/7/13 Joep Roebroek [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I had this question, which I didn't really know where to ask, so I thought to begin at this mailing list. Very basicly said, I count the rows of a table which had approx 5 or more rows. The problem is, there is a notable difference in loading time with other pages. Is there a technique to estimate the number of rows instead of exactly couting them? So that it saves loading time. For example, when you search with google, you get an estimate of the number of results, how do they do this? Maybe this is not a question for the PHP Mailing list, but if not where is a better place to ask this? regards, Joep -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] string comparison
hi i am writing a small application where a user enters a phrase in the textfield and i would like to display all the files present in the root directory which consists of the keyword or keywords entered by the user. i have used a few comparison functions but i am not getting the expected result. $my_file = file_get_contents(filename.html); what ever the user enters whether it is a single word or few words i would like to compare with $my_file in a case insensitive manner. can anyone suggest the best method and how to go about. thanks.

I don't suggest using file_get_contents. It would probably be more efficient (at least less memory intensive) to use fopen() and fread(). Just be sure you overlap each read by $the_size_of_the_largest phrase_or_keyword - 1. Then use stripos() for matching... of course that won't work so well if whitespace doesn't need to match exactly in phrases. In which case you'll need to resort to other techniques.

I use this script to list archive files from a directory based on
keyword. I'd guess a modified version using the keywords from users
might work:
// create archives box
if ($handle = opendir('../diaryarchives/')) {
while (false !== ($file =
readdir($handle))) {
$pos = strpos($file, diary_);
$pagemarked = diary._;
if ($pos !== false) {
//print $filebr;
$file_name = ereg_replace
($pagemarked,,$file);
$file_name = ereg_replace
(.php,,$file_name);
//print * $file_namebr;
//print $filebr;
$archive_list_gather[] = 'lia href=/diaryarchives/'.
$file.''.$file_name.'/a/li';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
rsort($archive_list_gather);
foreach($archive_list_gather as $value) {
$archive_list .= $value;
}
// build archives box
$archives_box = 'div id=diary-archives
h3 class=sideimg src=/images/h3s_diaryarchives.gif
alt=Diary Archives width=225 height=20 //h3
ul
'.$archive_list.'
/ul
/div';
// publish archives box
$filename = PATHA.'/diaryarchivesbox.php';
publishpages($archives_box, $filename);

Kevin Kevin, I don't know how old you are nor how long you have been in IT, but your opinions suggest you might be fairly inexperienced. Like I said, remaining back-level with software or an OS it's a matter of need or choice. Sometime both are heavily influenced by time and money. Not upgrading something to PHP5 due to lack of manpower is not incompetent at all, it's reality. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
