Hi all,
The site I have download was developed using cake php. Now when trying to
access the website it is showing a blank page. As Sudheer suggested I went
to error log and noted down the errors there, which are as follows:
[Thu Aug 20 14:10:16 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist:
F:/Rabin/xampp/htdocs/favicon.ico
I think there is no file called favicon.ico but how to create this file. Is
this something related to cakephp configuration.

Have you installed the CakePHP framework in your include path?

Negating specific words with regexes isn't a good practice (see a deep
discussion here: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=588315), in your
case I would resolve it like this:
?php
$s = 'cats i saw a cat and a dog';
var_dump(preg_split('/(dog|cat)/', $s, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE |
PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY));
?
That will output:
array(5) {
[0]=
string(3) cat
[1]=
string(10) s i saw a
[2]=
string(3) cat
[3]=
string(7) and a
[4]=
string(3) dog
}
Then you just have to go through the result array of preg_split and
concatenate every cat and dog.

Jonathan

Capture everything but only replace the backreference for the words:
$r = preg_replace('#.*?(cat|dog).*?#', '\1', $s);

Hi,
...
A little modification:
?php
/**
* Rounds down to the nearest 50
*/
function myRound($val)
{
$units = intval(substr($val, -2));
return intval(substr($val, 0, -2) . ($units = 50 ? '50' : '00'));
}
echo myRound(449) . 'br /'; // 400
echo myRound(450) . 'br /'; // 450
echo myRound(356) . 'br /'; // 350
echo myRound(79) . 'br /'; // 50
?
PS I haven't checked if there's a PHP function for this.

Subject: [PHP] Invoking functions stored in a separate directory?
I am developing an idea for a website engine which can be shared between
several different websites. Each website would have its own directory under
a common root directory, and the engine would be in a separate directory
Engine:
Root
Website_1.com, Website_2.com, Engine
The website directories would each contain the design data for that website,
consisting basically of a mixture of text files and images. The various
pages would be loaded by loading index.php from the website root directory,
and specifying a number of parameters e.g.
http://www.corybas.com/index.php?path=Holidayslevel=0item=0
I have the minimum amount of code in index.php -- just enough to set some
parameters to identify the website, and then include
../Engine/Main_prog.php. This in turn can include any of a large number of
other include files to carry out particular functions.
.
Using include ../Engine/Main_prog.php won't work for you in a production
environment. You need to create a path.php file that defines the absolute
path to the engine for each website, and include it at the top of your
website script. Then you can do something like:
include ENGINEPATH.Main_prog.php;
Thank you very much for this. It has at last provided the clue I was looking
for, and
after far too long I have got a trivially simple demonstration working. One
complication I
hadn't anticipated is that apparently I can only access functions in the
include file, but
cannot execute any code in it.
Thus when Halla.php read:
?php echo 'pEng_test_'.__LINE__.' Hallejuha!! : /p'; ?
and I included it:
$ok = define ('HOST_PATH','../Engine');
$ok = include (HOST_PATH.'/Halla.php');
nothing happened.
When Halla.php read:
?php function halla ($i) {
echo 'pEng_test_'.__LINE__.' Hallejuha!! : '.$i.'/p';
return $i; } ?
and I included it:
$ok = define ('HOST_PATH','../Engine');
$ok = include (HOST_PATH.'/Halla.php');
$ok = halla (7);
echo 'p Returned '.$ok'/p';
it did work. I presume that this explains your next comment, in that I am
neither reading
nor executing the code in the Include, so permissions don't come into it.
You shouldn't really have permission problems as long as your website and
engine are on the same server. ...
One other advantage it will give you for your particualr design is that you
can have multiple engines per server (e.g. Engine1, Engine2, etc) so that
you can bring one engine down for upgrade while still keeping sites running
on the other engines.
Yes; I have got already got all that working. Now I JUST have to convert my
main program
into one big function!
Will I still be able to access $_GET $_POST variables, and set up session
variables from
inside this function? I guess I can declare them all GLOBAL?
Thanks, again,

For the second one, did you mean to write serial port? That's a bit of a different animal, I'm not sure how far you'll get with php. Here is what I have come up with so far. Looks to satisfying my needs: tms_daemon [snip] # END OF SCRIPT Looks good to me. It'll certainly do the job. /Per I agree with Per on all points--I probably wouldn't choose PHP as a first choice for the first task, but the startup script you have shown looks like a bog-standard startup script and should serve you well. I haven't really gone over it with a fine-toothed comb though. Typos etc. are still up to to you. :) Of course, the whole thing depends on how tms_daemon behaves, but the startup script looks OK. Can you explain in a bit more detail exactly what the second part (the serial-network data logger) needs to do? I've written similar daemons in C but not PHP--when I've needed to get something like that going with a PHP script, I've used ser2net (which I linked to in an earlier post) and been quite happy. Maybe you don't even have to do the hard work yourself (or buy extra hardware to do it for you). Cheers, Torben As for the second project, I asked about it in the previous thread about the SMDR/CDR processor. http://www.nabble.com/SMDR-CDR-daemon-processor-td25014822.html Sorry, missed that thread. Basically, I need to have a process that collects data via serial (USB|RS323), connects to a remote port, or listens and receives data from the PBX pushing it. The most common is the RS232 serial connection. Thats why I need to be able to listen on the local RS232 port for data coming from the PBX system. What I have built so far can connect to a remote machine, via a TCP/IP connection, and wait for data to be push out the specified TCP port. I haven't done it yet, but I know that I can easily build, using a different project as a base, the version that would connect to a local TCP/IP IP:PORT and wait for a PBX to send the data to that IP:PORT. After the data has been received, the process flow will be the same with all three methods. Parse it, sanitize it, store it. Hopefully that explains a little more. Jim In short, are you looking for a program which listens on a serial port and a network port at the same time, and places any data received from either into a database?

Because you are assigning the result of the include to a variable. Try
include (HOST_PATH.'/Halla.php');
and it will work as you expect. And similarly for
define ('HOST_PATH','../Engine');

[PHP] array() returns something weird
Hello! I am almost certain I am hitting some kind of bug. All of a sudden, array() stops returning an empty array and starts returning something weird. The weird thing behaves as NULL in most circumstances (e.g. gettype() says NULL), except: $foo=array(); // -- weird thing returned $foo[]=bar; causes Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings, which is different from the regular behavior of: $foo=null; $foo[]=bar; // -- $foo simply becomes an array The problem is not limited to one place in code, and indeed before the fatal caused by append-assignment I get several warnings like array_diff_key(): Argument #1 is not an array, where the offending argument receives a result of array(). The effect is not random, i.e. it always breaks identically when the same script processes the same data. However I was so far unable to create a minimal test case that triggers the bug. My script is rather involved, and here are some things it uses: - Exceptions - DOM to-fro SimpleXML - lots of multi-level output buffering Disabling Zend Optimizer doesn't help.

Re: [PHP] array() returns something weird
What it looks like to me is that something is causing $foo to be a
string before the '$foo[] = bar;' line is encountered. What do you
get if you put a gettype($foo); just before that line?
$foo=null;
$foo[]=bar; // -- $foo simply becomes an array
NULL. That is the problem. I _did_ put a gettype($foo) before the actual line.
OK, here are exact four lines of my code:
$ret=array();
foreach(self::$_allowed as $r = $a)
if ($a)
$ret[]=$r;
As you can see, there is not a shred of a chance for $ret to become something
other than empty array between initialization and the last line in the above
snippet which causes the fatal errror. There's no __staticGet in 5.2.9, so
self::$_allowed cannot have side effects.
Secondly, the above code starts failing after it has executed successfully
dozens of times (and yes, the last line _does_ get executed; in fact self::
$_allowed contains configuration information that doesn't change at runtime).
Thirdly...
The problem is not limited to one place in code, and indeed before the
fatal caused by append-assignment I get several warnings like
array_diff_key(): Argument #1 is not an array, where the offending
argument receives a result of array().
This would appear to support my suspicion, but try inserting the
gettype($foo) (or better, var_export($foo);) just before one of the
lines which triggers the error, and post the results.
No, I don't think it supports your suspicion. Conversely, it indicates that
once array() returns a strangelet, it starts returning strangelets all over

Re: [PHP] array() returns something weird
well, when I saw ur post I got immediately the thought I would bed it has to
do with some stuff of $this or self.
I did play arround a bit with class creation the last days and yes, with
using self parent and $this I did put the HTTPPD in unstable and sometimes
it died without beeing able to send any error.
well this doesn't help very mutch.
I have two point:
(1)ur code is ( sorry ) lazy written, invest the brackets !! ur code writing
is predestinated for that type of error. shooting variable types arround by
pulling out of foreach loops, if's, is typical.
(2) using static variables are known for type missmatch errors just anything
has acces to them even if the containing class is not instantinated. many
dirty things can happen unless of corse they are not private.
further sugestions: check if you work on ur arrays with functions returning
array on success but false on fail or something like that. also a typical
source for that type of error
are u using magic __set ? I ran into a type change as well with it
good luck

Thanks. But no; that's not the answer. 'Include', like any other function,
returns a
result; true if the operation was successful, and false if it failed. I was
using this to
verify that the 'include' operation had been successful.
The more I thought about it last night, the more dissatisfied I became with the
notions
that 'include' could work differently in different circumstances, and also that
defining a

I did some more tests this morning, and eventually established that my
confusion was the
result of two different effects.
The first was that I find the PHP syntax rather picky, and I rely on error
messages to
alert me to my frequent errors, but apparently all error messages are turned
off on the
remote system, and if anything is wrong all I get is a blank screen.
The second is that although I use Dreamweaver as an editor, and it has
moderately good
colour coding which indicate most errors, I am partially red green colour blind
and tend
not to notice the erroneous colours.
I repeated my tests this morning and eventually managed to establish that
i. there is no difference in the behaviour of include between the local
and remote
systems, and
ii. contrary to Arno's advice, include ../Engine/Main_prog.php; works
just the
same as include ENGINEPATH.Main_prog.php;
So now I can get on with uploading my program!

Hi,
I encounter a funny limitation here with switch case as below:
The value for $sum is worked as expected for 1 to 8, but not for 0.
When the $sum=0, the first case will be return, which is sum=8.
Is there any limitation / rules for switch case? Thanks for advice!
Keith
Hi Keith,
Try replacing 'switch($sum)' with 'switch(true)'.
Note that unless you have very good reasons for using a switch
statement like this, and know exactly why you're doing it, it's often
better just to use it in the normal fashion. i.e.:
switch ($sum)
{
case 8:
break;
case 7:
case 6:
break;
case 2:
case 1:
break;
case 0:
break;
default:
break;
}
Some people like the syntax you've presented but honestly, there's

This is also somewhat faster too, although you may only notice the
difference in very tight loops where you're counting every nanosecond.

Re: [PHP] Is there limitation for switch case: argument's value?
Thanks! Adam.
It works now!
Actually I thought that switch block is compatible with if/elseif/else block
but more efficient if the cases is 3.
Because I like to have short coding without repetition, so I group the
similar cases together.
Thanks for your explanation! I know where is my mistake already and I've
learnt a lesson today!

I've never understood why people use switch statements like this as in
reality you are using it more like an if/else block, but anyway.
The reason why your code is not working is that you are passing into
the switch the value of 0, or false, which means that when any of
those $sum == N conditionals comes up as false (say $sum == 8 ), then
that is what is returned because they match up. In PHP's eyes, 0 ==
false in switch statements.
To fix your code, change the switch( $sum ) to switch( true ):
switch( true )
{
case ($sum == 8):
echo sum=8\n;
break;
case ($sum == 7 || $sum == 6):
echo sum=7 or 6\n;
break;
case ($sum == 2 || $sum == 1):
echo sum=2 or 1\n;
break;
case ($sum == 0):
echo sum=0\n;
break;
default:
echo sum=3/4/5\n;
break;
}
Or, write your switch like this:
switch( $sum )
{
case 8:
echo sum=8\n;
break;
case 6:
case 7:
echo sum=7 or 6\n;
break;
case 1:
case 2:
echo sum=2 or 1\n;
break;
case 0:
echo sum=0\n;
break;
default:
echo sum=3/4/5\n;
break;
}

Adam.

Re: [PHP] Is there limitation for switch case: argument's value?
Hahaha! Actually this is my first time coding, so I still adapting the
correct way to do it.
FYI, for the sake of minimizing the coding and viewing space occupied of the
code, I even replace the switch block with array if the cases are just
merely selecting pool of variables/categories/parameters!
I'm still learning the best practice for coding. :-)

Whoa! I didn't even know you could use a switch statement like that. In 20
years of coding, I've never ever used a switch like that first if/else
style. PHP never ceases to amaze me in it's flexibility (and ability to
shoot yourself in the foot ;-p )
And remember, all your base are belong to Adam.

Re: [PHP] Is there limitation for switch case: argument's value?
2009/8/22 Keith survivor_...@hotmail.com:
Thanks! Torben.
I got the point now and it works! :-)
I'm doing this because the statements of each cases is quite long, and I
wish to have minimum coding without repetition.
Hi Keith,
Glad it works! I'm not sure how inverting the case statement helps you
minimize the code in each case. As both I and Adam showed, you can do
the same thing more efficiently (and IMHO much more readably) like
this:
switch ($sum)
{
case 8:
break;
case 7:
case 6:
break;
case 2:
case 1:
break;
case 0:
break;
default:
break;
}

Hi Keith,
Try replacing 'switch($sum)' with 'switch(true)'.
Note that unless you have very good reasons for using a switch
statement like this, and know exactly why you're doing it, it's often
better just to use it in the normal fashion. i.e.:
switch ($sum)
{
case 8:
break;
case 7:
case 6:
break;
case 2:
case 1:
break;
case 0:
break;
default:
break;
}
Some people like the syntax you've presented but honestly, there's
usually a better way to do it.
This is also somewhat faster too, although you may only notice the
difference in very tight loops where you're counting every nanosecond.

Re: [PHP] Is there limitation for switch case: argument's value?
Aargh. Slipped on the trigger there--premature Send. See below for
what I meant to send:

minimize the code in each case. As both I and Adam showed, you can do
the same thing more efficiently (and IMHO more readably) like
this:
switch ($sum)

echo The sum is 7 or 6;

case 2:
case 1:
echo The sum is 2 or 1;
break;
case 0:
echo The sum is 0;
break;
default:
echo The sum is 3, 4, or 5;
break;
}
And if the code is getting so long that it's getting unwieldy, you
might want to look into breaking it out into separate functions.
Anyway, it's not a huge thing; personally though I feel that it's a
syntax that if ever used, should only be used for very good reasons.
Most of the uses I've seen of it, however, fall into the overly
clever category and add nothing in the end to the quality of the
code. That's totally a judgement call on my part, of course. :)
Again, glad it works, and keep on coding!

Torben

Looks to satisfying my needs: tms_daemon [snip] # END OF SCRIPT Looks good to me. It'll certainly do the job. /Per I agree with Per on all points--I probably wouldn't choose PHP as a first choice for the first task, but the startup script you have shown looks like a bog-standard startup script and should serve you well. I haven't really gone over it with a fine-toothed comb though. Typos etc. are still up to to you. :) Of course, the whole thing depends on how tms_daemon behaves, but the startup script looks OK. Can you explain in a bit more detail exactly what the second part (the serial-network data logger) needs to do? I've written similar daemons in C but not PHP--when I've needed to get something like that going with a PHP script, I've used ser2net (which I linked to in an earlier post) and been quite happy. Maybe you don't even have to do the hard work yourself (or buy extra hardware to do it for you). Cheers, Torben As for the second project, I asked about it in the previous thread about the SMDR/CDR processor. http://www.nabble.com/SMDR-CDR-daemon-processor-td25014822.html Sorry, missed that thread. Basically, I need to have a process that collects data via serial (USB|RS323), connects to a remote port, or listens and receives data from the PBX pushing it. The most common is the RS232 serial connection. Thats why I need to be able to listen on the local RS232 port for data coming from the PBX system. What I have built so far can connect to a remote machine, via a TCP/IP connection, and wait for data to be push out the specified TCP port. I haven't done it yet, but I know that I can easily build, using a different project as a base, the version that would connect to a local TCP/IP IP:PORT and wait for a PBX to send the data to that IP:PORT. After the data has been received, the process flow will be the same with all three methods. Parse it, sanitize it, store it. Hopefully that explains a little more. Jim In short, are you looking for a program which listens on a serial port and a network port at the same time, and places any data received from either into a database? No, I am looking to build and application that will have the option doing either of the three methods. All at separate times. It will be configured to work one phone system at a time. It will either listen locally, connect remotely via TCP/IP, or open a COM port. But, at this point, I don't see a need to have the ability to have it doing more then one method at a time.
