-G
for 'gratitude'  and Govinda

Oone is a concatenated string, the other is arguments. Arguments are  
executed and output in order, whereas the concatenation causes the  
function calls to be executed first and then the echo to display the  
return values concatenated into a single string.

I take cheques :B

But seriously, I think you'll find many are happy enough to see
something like this response itself.

Hi,
I have a problem with array_key_exists in if statement.

I have a class with this function

class XXX {
private items = array();
...
...
...

public function addXXX($id, $count)
{
   $count = (int)$cout;
if (!array_key_exists($id, $this-items))
   $this-items[$id] = $count;
else
   $this-items[$id] += $count;
}

...
...

}

And I want to send instance of this class with SESSION.
If I add a item to the array, count is ok, but if i go to the next page 
count will change.



There is the code of index.php

 /** its loading classes ***/
 spl_autoload_register('loadClass');

 session_start();
 var_dump($_SESSION['XX']); /** A **/

 
 ...
 ...
 ...
 if ($_SESSION['XX'] instanceof XXX)
$x = $_SESSION['XX'];
  else
new...
  ..
  ..
  /** Do onzl this **/
  if 
$x-addXXX($id, $cnt);


  
  ...
  ...
  $_SESSION['XX'] = X;
  var_dump($_SESSION['XX']); /** B **/


There is a vardump if action addXXX exec:
   A:
object(Kosik)#1 (1) { [zbozi:private]=  array(0) { } }

   B:
object(Kosik)#1 (1) { [zbozi:private]=  array(1) { [1]=  int(1) } }

And than i will go to some page and vardums are:
   A:
	object(Kosik)#1 (1) { [zbozi:private]=  array(1) { [1]=  int(4) } } 
1 : 4


   B:
 object(Kosik)#1 (1) { [zbozi:private]=  array(1) { [1]=  int(4) } }

I am thinking that do both codes in if statement,
but $this-items[$id] += $count; exec after send page.



I am using PHP Version 5.2.6 and Smarty v.2.6.19

Thanks for help :)

Korgan a écrit :


public function addXXX($id, $count)
{
   $count = (int)$cout;


  Try to work with error_reporting set to E_ALL ;)



 session_start();
 var_dump($_SESSION['XX']); /** A **/


  If XX is a right value for a variable name, they are no problem.

php should have a good check built-in.

see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php

if(!filter_var($var, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
  echo invalid email;
}

some people also go the extra mile and verify the MX record is valid,
or lookup the MX record and even validate the user exists by querying
the mail server.

 Does any have a regex for email validation? I need to allow only period and
 underscore in the local part , we would need a @ and .com or watever for

You could:

1. Take the isValidInetAddress() method out of the PEAR Mail_RFC822
class and use that.
2. Use the filter extension which I understand is now part of PHP
(5.2.x+) This would the preferable option.

 Let me point at it 

Check your spelling

If error_reporting was set to E_ALL AND display_errors were turned on, 
you would see that you are using an undefined variable in your method 
called $cout, casting is as an int and assigning the resulting value 
(which would always be zero) to $count.


Sorry i didnt see it :). In the script is $count = (int)$count;

After add a item value is ok look at first B vardump which is on the end 
of the script.




No variable $count is mandatory so that is defined.
But its not main idea of my question...
Function add items correctly, but if go to next page, values in array 
change. Values are changed passing from one page to another one, why and 
where?



if (!array_key_exists($id, $this-items))
   $this-items[$id] = $count;
else
   $this-items[$id] += $count;
}

...
...

}

And I want to send instance of this class with SESSION.

 For example, it didn't make any difference if you used a comma or
 concatenation, but in my system concatenation was 15 times faster than using
 a comma. Interesting, I would have guessed it would have been the other way
 around.

I refined the test, so that it is more random and therefore maybe more accurate.

 Will you share your spamwords.dat file? I get too excited trying to
 type them in myself.  :-)
 
 This reminds me (if I have my story correct) that recently a
 Christian web site had a similar filter except it filtered news they
 scrubbed off other site/sources. One of their routines checked for
 offensive words and then replaced them with PC words.
 
 This receive national attention when their site changed Tyson Gay's
 name to Tyson Homosexual.

Yes, it's quite nice actually. I used it once.
And I am using vim on Linux platform now.
I am feeling quite easy with it.

Maybe you have noticed the survey I made on http://phparch.cn.
A lot of people just look at the result. I really want people to choose
their option first.
Because that's helpful for future visitors.
Anyway, everybody is free to make his own choice.

 I surprisingly use PSPad editor which is quite neat solution and support
 some basic regexps.

 I think I'll probably move to vim since nothing seems more powerful but
 yet so nerdish.

 It was nice talking for this all boring, again-and-again issue because I

I've worked in places where they have one manager beating a drum and

What you have is a great closed system where you can not only 
distribute the workload but can evaluate workers based upon ability 
to handle the quotes.


The grab the brass ring if you're available set-up you have now 
sounds as good as any other I can think of. It's just that now you 
can have the data to evaluate workers and find out who's the best and 
lest productive. What you do with that data is up to you to improve, 
or degrade, working conditions and production.


From my background, I would find it exciting to evaluate such data 
with respect to time of day, days of the week, weeks of the month, 
month of the year, and so on.


You can not only learn more about your employees, but also your customers.

The serious answer to that is -- when you have to explain the problem 
to others, it's often the first time you've fully realized the 
problem yourself.


I usually spend a lot of time writing a question to this group. The 
question has to be distinct, clear and specifically to the point. An 
example/demo is almost mandatory.


After doing all that, it's good to read the question yourself and ask 
if someone else had posted this question: 1) would you be able to 
understand what the problem was? 2) and could you solve it?


After that much evaluation, I usually find that I either already know 
the answer OR how to find the answer.


After repeating that cycle a couple of times, I either finish my post 
to the list or I forget what the hell I was doing. In either case, 
the problem passes.

[PHP] Variable name as a string

[ioannes]

Could someone tell me how to get the name of a variable as a string.  
This would be useful in form submission with multiple check-boxes to 
match against database records.  At the moment I use ${var.$ID[$x]} or 
someting like that to go through all the possible matches, but it would 
be quicker to explode the name of a checkbox like a string like cb_1 to 
match to record 1 etc.


There is some reason I do not use the value of the check box, but I can't 
remember it now!

Re: [PHP] Variable name as a string

[Hélio Rocha]

U could use an array to keep all of your fieldnames as keys and the values
would be the values of the form inputs.
That would be very easy and with no programagic.

[PHP] restricted file access

Hi all, 

We have a site and we have created an admin section where the admin can
upload documents.

We have made a user login section where they can view a list of the

We want to make the site however not allow ppl to type in the path of the

Are the documents stored in a hidden / non-web accessible directory?

Or is this restricted with APACHE?

Please advise

Could someone tell me how to get the name of a variable as a string.  
This would be useful in form submission with multiple check-boxes to 
match against database records.  At the moment I use ${var.$ID[$x]} or 
someting like that to go through all the possible matches, but it would 
be quicker to explode the name of a checkbox like a string like cb_1 to 
match to record 1 etc.


There is some reason I do not use the value of the check box, but I 
can't remember it now!

For database use I do the following in forms:

name=data[field_name]

Or for multiple table that you update together:

name=data[table_name][field_name]

Obviously if you want to accept links from users then this won't work  
for you, but for blocking comments from spam bots that hit every form  
they can find I've found nothing better than refusing comments with  
links.


A half-way-house would be to refuse anything with more than n links  
where n is reasonable for the content you're expecting. Most spam  
comments try to include a large number in each posting.

This is probably what you meant:

Which is probably what you meant:

Email comes in different TLD flavors.

But, even that still doesn't cover all the

For example:

Well...none of the above.

I would have a php script deliver the files and not allow the user to

Here's an example:

http://php1.net/b/file-browser/index.php

It would be a simple matter not to show the path but rather just show

In other words, the most that any user can get is the path to one

Re: [PHP] restricted file access

Hello,

i saw that the end file always has the name test.zip (
http://php1.net/b/file-browser/index.php )

Are you zipping the file before outputing to the user ?

In that case, you are accomplishing the desired goal of hidding the path,
because the file changed but the path is always the same.

Am i right ?

Any ideas?


Dan:

Yes, a few of them.

1. Use LIMIT in your MySQL query to get the number of records 
provided down to a manageable size.


2. Use pagination to keep the page size to a manageable size.

Here's an example:

http://php1.net/b/pagination-images/

Here's an example with code and it has an example of using LIMIT with offsets:

http://webbytedd.com/bbb/paging/

3. Then use a toggle for showing small/large amount of information.

http://webbytedd.com/cc/toggle/

I often use this for showing clients lot's of data without having to 
show all of it at one time. Here's another example:


http://sperling.com/quarters/

Note how The rules and How to win are shown.

As to showing the user one item expanded and all the rest collapsed, 
I leave that to you, but my hint is redefining the css display rule 
(display: block) on the initial load of the page.

Re: [PHP] Re: Variable name as a string

Perhaps this example may help.  Eg: a form with checkboxes and submit 
button, a few are checked and I want to delete the corresponding records 
from the database.  The database table has an ID column:


for each ($argv as $key=$value) {
   //$key is named cb_1 $value is checked
   //to get 1 from the key name, then
   //needed: function like nameof()
   $var=nameof($key);
   $ID=substr($var,3);
   $query=delete * from dbtable where ID='$ID';
   //etc
}





For database use I do the following in forms:

name=data[field_name]

Or for multiple table that you update together:

name=data[table_name][field_name]

Thanks for looking!




Okay so I should have looked just a little bit longer before sending  
the e-mail... the $edit var that is in some of the text fields either  
contains NULL or disabled depending on an editing flag... disabled  
fields don't get passed back to the script and so it sets the fields  
to NULL... Now I just need to figure out how to overcome that  
limitation...


What I'm trying to do, is if the text they are presented with is  
correct, don't give them the ability to accidentally edit it. Make  
them have to click a link to enable editing. It makes it a more  
intentional method, and hopefully will keep the bots out a LITTLE bit  
if they find the form and the pURL's...

 I refined the test, so that it is more random and therefore maybe more

What does random have to do with the echo, concatenaton, interpolation,

An array? You do realize that arrays are stored as some kind of tree

some of those entries than it does for others. They can't all be sitting
at the root node of the tree. These tests shoul dhave been run
individually.

 $results2 = $results1;
 $test_array = array();

 $eval_strings = create_eval_strings();

 str_shuffle($test_string); // random strings

Aggain I'd like to point out that randomizing the string more than
likely does nothing for the benchmark.

 for ($i = 0; $i  $iterations; ++$i) test_method(rand(0,3));

A function call... to a less than simplistic function (yes simple
logically, complex when benchmarks should normally be run on the
simplest representation of the problem).

 function test_method($method) {
   $start_time = $end_time = 0;
   $test_array = $GLOBALS['test_array'];
   $test_string = $GLOBALS['test_string'];
   $eval_strings = $GLOBALS['eval_strings'];
   for ($i = 0; $i  10; ++$i) {
 $j = rand(0, $GLOBALS['iterations']);
 $test_array[$j] = str_shuffle($test_array[$j]); // change some arr
 vals to outsmart any php speedup/cache
   }
   $arr2 = array(); // array for 2nd test
   for ($i = 0; $i  $GLOBALS['iterations2']; ++$i) $arr2[] =
 $test_array[rand(0, $GLOBALS['iterations'])];
   # 1st test will output # of iterations random strings
   # 2nd test will output a sequence of #iterations2 random strings
   switch ($method) {
 case 0: // comma
   # - TEST 1 -
   ob_start();
   $start_time = microtime(true);
   foreach ($test_array as $array_value) {

   }
   $end_time = microtime(true);
   ob_end_clean();
   $GLOBALS[results1][comma][total_time] += abs($end_time -
 $start_time)*1000/$GLOBALS[iterations];
   ++$GLOBALS[results1][comma][count];

   ++$GLOBALS[results2][comma][count];
   break 1;

Do you mind if I scream here... output buffering, eval, internal
microtime function to measure the efficiency of multiple different
approaches? These are all going to add to the noise. You should use the
system's time command to determine actual time spent on the process.


 case 1: // concatenation

 Email comes in different TLD flavors.

Well, I left that for the OP to figure out.  Still, your regex is
worse - a domain name cannot contain '%'.  The only valid characters
for a domain name are letters, numbers and a hyphen.  Also, maximum
length for a domain name is 64 characters, which could/should be
checked too.  

 But, even that still doesn't cover all the possible and legal Unicode
 code-points that can exist on both sides of the @ of an email address.

No, they can't.  There are no 8-bit characters allowed in an
email-address.  Check out RFC2821. 

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 is a legal and working email address.

If that reads tedd(at)space.com, it might be valid on your system,
but not in public.

For the domain part, I would check against

and then do a lookup for an A record.  There are still some patterns
that will fit the above, without being valid domain-names.

[PHP] Benchmark for echoing via comma, concat, inteprolation, and heredoc.

[Robert Cummings]

I've attached 4 scripts to benchmark each of the various methods of
echoing content. I was very surprised to find that the state of things
is completely out of synch with what many of us have come to expect.
That said, I trust these benchmarks. Output has been redirected
to /dev/null so that rendering to terminal is not an source of benchmark
noise. I ran each twice because some things were just so surprising and
I ran for PHP4 after running for PHP5 to contrast. So anyways... the
benchmarks:

Wow! Look at the time it takes for echo to run with multiple parameters.
It's about 4 times longer than any other option. And all the other
options are almost on perfect par. Considering this was interated 10
million times I don't think there's any reason to choose one method over
another when considering concatenation, interpolation, or heredoc. But
this is weird. We were told that echo was fastest a long time ago and
heredoc was slowest. I'm not sure why multiple parameter echo is so
piggishly slow but I'm guessing optimizations were done for
interpolation and heredoc to make them on par with concatenation.

But let's take a peek back to PHP4 to see what the same scripts do

Again we see that echo with multiple params sucks. But now we see the
old expectations for interpolation and heredoc... though interestingly
heredoc is pretty much on par with double quote interpolation. So it
seems from PHP4 to PHP5 (current versions anyways) that interpolation
and heredoc got a big boost to make them on par with concatenation. So I
guess there's not much point any longer on being preachy about
efficiency between these three options :) For those wondering btw,
eAccelerator is benign for shell execution.

That echo benchmark though... WTF!

Scripts are attached for your own testing / commenting about how much
they suck ;)

Cheers,
Rob.

Perhaps this example may help.  Eg: a form with checkboxes and 
submit button, a few are checked and I want to delete the 
corresponding records from the database.  The database table has an 
ID column:


for each ($argv as $key=$value) {
   //$key is named cb_1 $value is checked
   //to get 1 from the key name, then
   //needed: function like nameof()
   $var=nameof($key);
   $ID=substr($var,3);
   $query=delete * from dbtable where ID='$ID';
   //etc
}



Okay, your data is coming in from a form and you want to translate 
that data to a php array -- here's how to do it:


In your form you use:

input type=checkbox name=a1
input type=hidden name=whatever1 value=103

input type=checkbox name=a2
input type=hidden name=whatever2 value=206

input type=checkbox name=a3
input type=hidden name=whatever3 value=1187

input type=checkbox name=a4
input type=hidden name=whatever4 value=6101

In your receiving php script, you use:

for ($i = 1; $i = 4; $i++)
   {
   $a = 'a' . $i;
   $b = 'whatever' . $i;
   if($_POST[$a] == 'on')
  {
   my_array[] = $_POST[$b]
  }
   }

If a user clicks any/all of the checkboxes, then those checkboxes 
will be turned 'on' and the values associated with the hidden fields 
will come into play and be recorded in the my_array[].


A count(my_array) will provide you with the number of checkboxes 
that were actually checked.


Sure you can do this in while statements if you wish, but the idea of 
how to translate checkboxes to a php array is here.


The hidden values above could just as easily be values taken from a 
database corresponding to record deletions, such as:


input type=hidden name=whatever4 value=?php echo($record_ID);?

The point is that you can determine what the user clicked and tied it 
to whatever you presented.


Cheers,

tedd

*heheh* well in the above I'm not so concerned about the issue of random
itself, but more about how it doesn't benefit the particular issue being
benchmarked. Random (or pretend random depending on your randomly
religious views ;) is certainly useful in some benchmarks... for
instance testing the speed of a new sorting algorithm, or tree
algorithm, etc when a broad data sample is necessary.

Well, I left that for the OP to figure out.  Still, your regex is
worse - a domain name cannot contain '%'.  The only valid characters
for a domain name are letters, numbers and a hyphen.  Also, maximum
length for a domain name is 64 characters, which could/should be
checked too.


Well, I stole that regex anyway -- I agree that % should have not been there.


No, they can't.  There are no 8-bit characters allowed in an
email-address.  Check out RFC2821.


You can throw all the facts and documentation you 
want at me, but the left side of the @ has always 
been open to anything you want. The right side of 
the @ has had to deal with 7-bit limitation (the 
DNS problem). But, considering the work that the 
IDNS has done, (circa 2000) we can use Unicode 
characters on both sides of the @.


However, the software (browsers and email apps) 
may/may-not be able to deal with it, as shown by 
my recent example of:



  [EMAIL PROTECTED]


 is a legal and working email address.


If that reads tedd(at)space.com, it might be valid on your system,
but not in public.


The email address is perfectly valid, and works, 
but our definition of public is apparently 
different.


I claim if it's valid on any system, then it's 
public. I don't hold to the notion that if M$ 
doesn't recognize it then it isn't public. M$ has 
always had it's collective head up it's vested 
interest butt anyway.


For demonstration Safari has absolutely no 
problems dealing with IDNS, whereas all IE's do. 
To prove my point,  if you have Safari, try 
entering option v into the browser URL box and 
hit return. You don't have to enter anything else 
(i.e., no http://, www, or dot com).


What will happen is that you will be 
automagically transported to one of my sites 
where the url is square-root dot com. However if 
you're dealing with one of the leading also-ran 
IE browsers, then you'll see the PUNYCODE 
equivalent, which was never intended to be seen 
by end users anyway. Just another example of how 
M$ always has a better idea.


So, regardless of the documentation, which may be 
outdated, I know that Unicode characters can be 
used in IDNS and thus on both sides of the @, but 
it's the software that needs to catch up to the 
technology.

tedd

Re: [PHP] Re: Variable name as a string

Yes, Tedd, this does however incur the overhead of find out what i is, 
because it could be a range of IDs from the database, not necessarily a 
count of the checkboxes on the page:



for ($i = 1; $i = 4; $i++)
   {
   $a = 'a' . $i;
   $b = 'whatever' . $i;
   if($_POST[$a] == 'on')
  {
   my_array[] = $_POST[$b]
  }

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ; and they are

Hi,

I need to send a post variable to an ASP page, can I do this within

I don't need to view the page, or get any acknowledgment back, just 
send the single POST variable...


The point is not IF php can send a POST (it can), but rather can ASP 
receive a POST?

John:

Yes, and I thought that I showed you how to handle that -- that an 
easy thing to do.


You simply list all the items you want to expose to the user for the 
user's consideration to delete. Then you accept what the user has 
selected and delete them accordingly. (However, you should work out a 
way to clean this information before doing anything).


I only added the count thing IF you wanted to know how many deletions 
the user selected.


Please review what I said and consider.

Cheers,

tedd

Actually, you are right, as you just put the checkbox index in the POST 
and get the value from there.  So you just need the number of 
checkboxes...sorry.

No, they can't.  There are no 8-bit characters allowed in an
email-address.  Check out RFC2821.
 
 You can throw all the facts and documentation you want at me, but the
 left side of the @ has always been open to anything you want.  

Except anything 8-bit, yes.  Seriously, read RFC2821 and maybe -2822

 The right side of the @ has had to deal with 7-bit limitation (the
 DNS problem). But, considering the work that the IDNS has done, (circa
 2000) we can use Unicode characters on both sides of the @.

No, you cannot.  Certainly not on the left side, and only on the right
side if you assume visual representation = email-address.

Why don't you send me an email at this address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]  (that's an
a with accent grave like in your domain further down).

 However, the software (browsers and email apps) may/may-not be able to
 deal with it, as shown by my recent example of:
 
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  is a legal and working email address.

If that reads tedd(at)space.com, it might be valid on your system,
but not in public.
 
 The email address is perfectly valid, and works,
 but our definition of public is apparently
 different.

Sorry, I didn't see the a with the accent grave.  Still, try using that
address in Thunderbird, and you'll see that it doesn't work.  The
correct email-address (which is what we're talking about)
for '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' is [EMAIL PROTECTED], which an email-system like
sendmail/exim/postfix/etc will understand (whereas it will choke
on '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.

 So, regardless of the documentation, which may be outdated, I know
 that Unicode characters can be used in IDNS and thus on both sides of
 the @, 

You're wrong - IDNs only apply to the right side of the @. (check out
what the 'D' means).

Go on, send me that email to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' ... for what it's worth, I
can't even define an account like that, so my mailserver might well
reject it.

But I get a Fatal error: Call to undefined method Foo::drive()

The magic fuction __call don't catch the drive(). Why not?

looks like __call() might not work through a subclass if defined in the
parent; i might poke around in the .phpt tests that come w/ the php source
to ensure this is the correct behavior.

in the meantime you can get away w/ some variant this ugliness,

return parent::__call($method, $args);

Yes, you are right.

I was thinking of something else, namely that the

this was something that was discussed about five 
years ago on the IDNS list, of which I attended.


Considering that the list was created to solve 
the IDNS problem, I mistakenly remembered them 
were discussing IDNS problems, but instead they 
were discussing case-sensitivity.

First, the type is checkbox, not check.  Second, you cannot put a value
in the brackets  for a checkbox group.  A checkbox group is passed to
PHP automatically as an array.

You're wrong - IDNs only apply to the right side of the @. (check out
what the 'D' means).



The D in IDNS is Internationalized Domain Names -- note what the 
'I' stands for.


I was wrong to say that Unicode code points can be used on the LHS of 
the @ but domain names contain Unicode code points (in fact, that's 
all they contain) and thus these code points can appear on the RHS of 
email.


For example, one *can* use other than ASCII characters in a domain 
name -- that's what the IDNS WG was for solving.


The WG did solve this issue and came up with a way to do that -- the 
current algorithm is called PUNYCODE which allows Unicode code-points 
to appear in a domain name. I know this to be true because I have 
several domains that lie outside the standard ASCII AND they are real 
domains that have real web sites.


For example:

http://xn--u2g.com

If you have a browser (like Safari) that is capable of showing the 
URL in it's native charset, then you will see the Rx.com in the url. 
If not, then you'll see xn--u2g.com.


Now, email can be sent from that domain, but I have not found an 
application that will send nor receive it. The software has simply 
not caught up with the technology.


One thing for sure, as the rest of the world logs on, more and more 
people will demand that their applications will implement the 
capabilities of the current IDNS.

There is no silver bullet regex to validate all RFC compliant email address.
Many have tried, but they all fail at some point. The best you can do is
cater to most _sane_ addresses.

And when the domain name space is opened up, well, you will back to strpos()

Yeah, I remember that -- but a bit different.

Don't use indexes, but rather just my_checkboxes[]

and on the php side

$my_checked_checkboxes = $_REQUEST['my_checkboxes'];

The array $my_checked_checkboxes equals the $_REQUEST$_/$_POST/$_GET 
array -- all the indexes will match (i.e., $my_checked_checkboxes[3] 
is the same as $_POST[3]).


The only problem I have with that method is that the [] becomes 
confusing with dealing with javascript that can also handles the form.


One of the ways to get around this is to:

input type=checkbox name=my_checkboxes[] id=my_checkbox_1 value=1 

That way php will use name and javascript will use id.

But, there are lot's of ways to do this.

Honestly, I'd stick to using php's filter extension.

It -should- be the best one out there. If it is not processing
something it should, then it's a bug - submit it so all of us benefit

You cannot have anything in the brackets for the name in a checkbox
group.  The brackets specify that it is an array.  The name of the array
is the key in $_POST that contains the values of the checkbox group that
were checked.  You can have as many groups as you like.

Eh? Course you can.

form method=post action=?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?
input type=checkbox name=data[field_name][] id=my_checkbox_1 
value=1  Val 1
input type=checkbox name=data[field_name][] id=my_checkbox_2

input type=checkbox name=data[field2][] id=field2 value=2  Val 
2 (Field 2)

input type=submit
/form
pre
?php
print_r($_POST);


You end up with a multi-dimensional array.

(
[data] = Array
(
[field_name] = Array
