I'd go further on that and say don't call your class 'red', as it
doesn't do anything for semantic code, but that's just me trolling ;)
I was about to say the same thing *lol*. tis true though, the class
should be doubleQuoted or something similar. What happens when they
decide it should be blue?
span.red
{
color: blue;
}
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh :)
I fully understand, but I also see two side to this.
On one side, I agree that one should always keep attributes vague
enough so they can be anything, such as class=warning and that way
the client may say I don't want it red now, but orange and it will
be easy enough to change.
On the other side, some attributes may be exactly what they claim,
such as class=center or class=red. There is little confusion
about what those classes mean as compared to more vague terms. As
such, exact attributes are indeed semantic.
So as I see it, with *some* attributes it's a toss-up -- you can add
a layer of abstraction by making them vague OR you can use a more
exact (semantic) meaning. I don't find much fault with either way
provided that it's not a big problem later. The dividing line here is
one of how much work it causes.
Additional consideration, one can combine exact attributes, such as
class=center red and it both works and is obvious.
I often have in my css, rules such as:
.center
{
text-align: center;
}
.red
{
color: red;
}
While it might not fit with the purest css, it works for me. YMMV. :-)

tedd

I think with semantic CSS names, it's more about why the text has to be
red, than what colour it is. So if it's red because it is a warning,
alert, etc, then it can sometimes be better to give it a name that
reflects that. This is mostly down to preference though really. I say
mostly, because some UA's might use the class names to derive
microformat information, such as dates, author names, etc.

Re: [PHP] How can I detect an exception without using try/catch?
a POSSIBLE work round. see if u can use http://in2.php.net/manual/en/function.error-get-last.php or http://in2.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.phperrormsg.php but they are not working as expected with xdebug. use them in the __destruct function to check for an uncaught exception alternatively.. this approach is NOT RECOMMENDED. use it only if u run out of options keep the destructor empty. catch the exception and call a function to perform destruction and then unset the object. at the end of script, check if the object is set, call the function to perform destruction. (php dosent destroy the object if the exception is caught) Kranthi. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Change color of anything in double/single quotes
That's what I was just about saying, in addition try to add the HTML
entities to the regular expression as well:
$string = preg_replace('/(?: #34;|)(.*?)(?: #34;|)/', 'font
color=color\\1/font', $string);
Also if you don't to get caught by the HTML validator you better surround
the color name with double quotes ;)

Close, but I'd also recommend dropping in a 'Us' modifier so that
it is `U`ngreedy and `s`pans lines.

Re: RES: [PHP] inexplicable behaviour
What parameters are you pasing in the link? That will be the telling point of what you are doing wrong. You could pass the search params ( though these are best kept in a session or cookie ) and the offset counter to get the next block of results. Sorry for top posting.

Arrggg.
Don't use: font color=colorhello/font
The font tag is dead and embedded styling should moved to css.
There are lot's of ways to do this, here's one:
span class=red?php echo('hello'); ?/span?php echo(' there'); ?
You might also check out first-child in css. That way you can make
hello in red and there in whatever the element color is in one
statement.

Your thinking is flawed. Yes you could have a class called center and it
does exactly that... center the text. However to make the text left
aligned you now need to edit the HTML to assign the class left intead of
center. The whole point of CSS is to not edit the HTML to make stylistic
changes. It maybe be obvious that having classes center and red makes
the content centered and coloured red, but that is no different than
having an align attribute and a color attribute which is EXACTLY what
CSS is supposed to replace.

Rob.

Cheers, Rob. Rob: I truly see your point and I don't disagree with it. However, there are times where the client says I want this centered and center it you must without giving that section of text an attribute name. Sure I could say I know the client wants this selection-of-text centered and he isn't willing (or agree) to give this selection-of-text a name, so I'll do it. I'll call it this 'selection-of-text' selection-of-text. That way years from now when the client says I no longer want that selection-of-text centered but right justified I can change a single rule in the selection-of-text class attribute and the critter will be done without me altering a single line of html. Sure, that sounds good.. But experience has shown me that when that happens, the client usually doesn't single out that specific selection-of-text the same way again but rather picks something even more convoluted thereby defeating the entire process. I realize that the entire idea here is to remove any need to alter the html to make styling changes, but clients usually negate that concept for when they want to change things, it's not just styling they want to change, but everything. Also try explaining style sheets to a client and why they should think in terms of elements, blocks of text, maintenance, separating style from presentation, and all that other noble stuff, when all they what is to make something bold, centered, red, or all three. For example, I have one client who's entire web site shows the same explanation-link on each page the exact same way and then he said Oh, on page 43, let's change that from blue and bold to red and right justified. As such, I had to write page specific code to make that single change for that specific page plus writing a new css rule. Using css the correct way would have never saved me from the additional html work. Sometimes simple is not only simpler, but easier to understand and faster to implement -- especially when you are dealing with clients who have absolutely no understanding of the proper ways of doing things. They just want their eclectic stuff shown they way they think, which is usually anything but organized.

Aren't CSS class names supposed to be in lower case? I would go with
something like double_quoted.

IE supports insensitivity in non-standards mode. You're probably confusing the following: C.13. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and XHTML 1. CSS style sheets for XHTML should use lower case element and attribute names. This does not refer to attribute values.

Re: RES: [PHP] inexplicable behaviour SOLVED
kranthi wrote: if $Count1 is never referenced after this, then certainly this assignment operation is redundent. but assignment is not the ONLY operation of this statement. if u hav not noticed a post increment operator has been used which will affect the value of $Count as well, and this operation is required for the script to work. the script should work even if u replace $Count1 = $Count++; with $Count++; Kranthi. Not quite, since that would change the $Count variable and that is used leater in the code. But the problem seems to be solved as the paging needed the $Count1 wich was not being supplied because I was debugging the code without enough entries in the database. Once I had a larger base of info I was able to see what the problem was. The code needed to determine how many instances there are in the db of the search criteria and it was not getting that; it was only getting the LIMIT of the query. So I added a few lines to determine the total for $Count1 and it all works fine now. :-) or until I find another glitch. ;-) Thanks for the suggestion. -- unheralded genius: A clean desk is the sign of a dull mind. - Phil Jourdan --- p...@ptahhotep.com http://www.ptahhotep.com http://www.chiccantine.com/andypantry.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You could pass the search params ( though these are best kept in a session or cookie ) and the offset counter to get the next block of results. Actually, I am trying to use sessions but I'm not sure it's working. I'll have to look throught the manuals and tutorials again to see what's not cookie-ing :-) Any suggestions on how to verify or debug sessions? Sorry for top posting.

[PHP] CamelCase conversion to proper_c_style
I know it's probably heresy for a lot of coders, but does anyone know a function or class or regexp or somesuch which will scan through a PHP file and convert all the CamelCase code into proper C-type code? That is, CamelCase gets converted to camel_case. I snagged a bunch of someone else's PHP code I'd like to modify, but it's coded the wrong way, so I'd like to fix it. (I'm teasing you CamelCase people. But I really would like to change this code around, because it doesn't happen to be my preference.) Paul -- Paul M.

Re: [PHP] MySQL -- finding whether there's a transaction started
Bogdan Stancescu wrote: Hello list, I'm developing a library and would need to know if the code calling my library has already started a MySQL transaction or not. I want to know whether I should start one or use savepoints instead -- starting a transaction if one is already in progress commits the existing transaction, and setting a savepoint silently fails outside transactions. And I was unable to find any non-destructive way of retrieving that information -- is there any? I don't use MySQL, having been embeded with a 'real' database since before MySQL even thought about transactions ;) but your question does not make sense from a functional point of view. The whole point of a transaction is to bundle together a packet of work. If any part of the packet fails, then it can be rolled back to a known place. If you are doing a package of work within your library, you would use your own transaction. If you are processing data for a higher level function, either that function would pass you the transaction handle, or IT would handle your return and roll back or carry on as required. Or am I simply missing something because MySQL still does not ACTUALLY support real transactions?
