Re: [PHP] (Perl) Regular Expressions - oposite match or get the non-matches of a substring
Hi all,
I consider myself quite good with Regular Expression, but i could never find
out how to match something like:
match this but not this and that
so i would like to match the first match this (or another this) but not
not this.
Seems pretty straight forward but i haven't found a (good) solution yet.
Please no solutions with extra code, i know how to do that. I need a regular
expression that can do it, preferably Perl compatible. Surprisingly i
couldn't figure out how to say '/!(not) this/'. Seems like there must be a
simple way, but i can't seem to figure it out.
Tried things like: '/[^n][^o][^t] this/', '/[^not]{3} this/' etc but all of
those don't work. Looked in various books and websites but didn't find what
i was looking for...
try this
/match this but (?!not this and that)/
goodluck!

Thank you very much for everyone's effort in advance. serialize is much faster than getting data from database. i use this approach to unload DB usage and it made big difference. it would be much more faster if serialized object is saved onto ram using xcache or similar.

Re: [PHP] Module Structure ideas
Last year I began to sepearte my module files to many files for their purposes. Last time use use lots of dirs for their types someting like controllers a.cont.php b.cont.php definition a.def.php b.def.php models a.model.php b.model.php views a.view.php b.view.php Then I realize this model creates confusion when you start to debug a module. My next step was putting module files in one dir, also I want to load them into text editor with spesific order (same to including order). and I came up some ting like this a.test.def.php c.test.mdl.php e.test.cnt.php g.test.rtr.php i.test.view.php k.test.dr.js m.test.m.js o.test.css test_app.a.def.php test_app.c.mdl.php test_app.e.cnt.php test_app.g.rtr.php test_app.i.view.php test_app.k.dr.js test_app.m.js test_app.o.css test.adef.php test.cmdl.php test.ecnt.php test.grtr.php test.iview.php test.kdr.js test.m.js test.o.css My point of view the 3. option is good for me. So I want to ask this (beacause I'm using very closed working model. Just KDE and KATE) is kind of file structure may lead any kind of problems in future or diffrerent situation ? also is there any suggestion to using different methot to archive similar goals. option #3 works for me too small projects without using frameworks. for big projects, i prefer to organize my script files by type: /models /controllers /views i don't have problems with jumping around folder to folder because i keep files open in separate windows.

Also, I'm wondering whether the double-slashes are getting passed into
the object method rather than being treated as escape characters. You
might try passing one of those values to your Hello() method to make
sure they are going into your class correctly.
This also doesn't begin to delve into whether the COM object uses the
same security context as PHP. I would think so, but that's just a
guess.

Re: [PHP] Module Structure ideas
On Wed, 2009-02-11 at 21:20 +0800, Virgilio Quilario wrote: Last year I began to sepearte my module files to many files for their purposes. Last time use use lots of dirs for their types someting like controllers a.cont.php b.cont.php definition a.def.php b.def.php models a.model.php b.model.php views a.view.php b.view.php Then I realize this model creates confusion when you start to debug a module. My next step was putting module files in one dir, also I want to load them into text editor with spesific order (same to including order). and I came up some ting like this a.test.def.php c.test.mdl.php e.test.cnt.php g.test.rtr.php i.test.view.php k.test.dr.js m.test.m.js o.test.css test_app.a.def.php test_app.c.mdl.php test_app.e.cnt.php test_app.g.rtr.php test_app.i.view.php test_app.k.dr.js test_app.m.js test_app.o.css test.adef.php test.cmdl.php test.ecnt.php test.grtr.php test.iview.php test.kdr.js test.m.js test.o.css My point of view the 3. option is good for me. So I want to ask this (beacause I'm using very closed working model. Just KDE and KATE) is kind of file structure may lead any kind of problems in future or diffrerent situation ? also is there any suggestion to using different methot to archive similar goals. option #3 works for me too small projects without using frameworks. for big projects, i prefer to organize my script files by type: /models /controllers /views i don't have problems with jumping around folder to folder because i keep files open in separate windows. Virgil http://www.jampmark.com Number 3 looks good. but I would tend to keep .js and .css files in their own directories respectively, as for most projects, I'll have lots of different .js files for differents tasks, and several .css files (screen, print, internet explorer, etc.) It makes it a lot easier for me, as usually (unless I'm doing AJAX work) the php and javascript won't overlap, and css is almost always completely separate.

[PHP] Best way to post XML via curl?
I'm going crazy, can't quite get this encoding to work. I've tried all
the various combinations, trying to send this block $xml (which is a
simple string variable) via post along with 3 other params:
$postArgs = http_build_query(array('method'='newPrintRequest',
'login'=$login, 'password'=$password, 'orderxml'=$xml));
$ch = curl_init('http://test.server.com/rest_interface.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postArgs);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(Content-Type: text/xml));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
Is this use of http_build_query the best way to send XML? Any other
curl options I should be setting? I tried urlencoding() the $xml, I
tried htmlspecialchars(), I tried nothing at all, I tried amp and
is there a best practice for how a big block of xml should be
posted?

Re: [PHP] Best way to post XML via curl?
Just realized I didn't happen to mention the problem. :-) The server is not seeing any of my posted fields. It's returning a properly-formatted XML response that says I did not submit the required fields. Unfortunately the server is a black box, but lots of other partners use it every day and supposedly there are no problems server side. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Drop the above line and I reckon it should work. The content you're
sending is not XML, it's form fields which CURL will default to. It
just happens that one of those fields is XML.
$response = curl_exec($ch);

Re: [PHP] Best way to post XML via curl?
This line is the key. WITH the line, I get a properly formatted XML response from the server, telling me that I did not send any valid post fields. WITHOUT the line, all I get back from the server is a '1' and their tech reports that no valid call was received from me.

From the documentation: Parameters The following POST parameters are required: login - Assigned password - Assigned method - newPrintRequest, updatePrintRequest, reprintRequest orderxml - XML according to accompanying documentation The error that I get says no method was provided, and if you look at my code, it clearly is.

The original code you had, minus the Content-Type header will do exactly that. Either the documentation is wrong or there's something wrong with their system. I suggest you create an HTML file containing a form with those fields that posts to the destination URL, fill it in with valid values and see what happens when you post that. Remove CURL from the equation, and if that doesn't work go back to them and show them that form and the response you get, because according to that documentation it should work. -Stuart On Feb 11, 2009, at 5:08 PM, Stuart wrote: 2009/2/12 Brian Dunning br...@briandunning.com: This line is the key.
