With hundreds of tables, if you don't find an existing solution that 
meets your needs, it sounds like it would be a good idea to design your 
own anyways.

With a little coding, Zend_Form should do what you need.

I've had a chance to think about the problem and I think this will fix it.
The edit page retieves the form input variable = commentIN and echos to
the browser. The problem is that the browser displays commentIN without
the the backslashes and that is what is then resubmitted if the submit
is execcuted (without the slashes).
Therefore, it seems to me, I must use preg_replace to add the \ to the
single quotes in the commentIN variable just before the update query...
My only question, then, is how do I do the preg_replace in the commentIN
. Is it something like $commentIN = (act  on $commentIN) or do I have to
do a $another_name = (preg_whatever, $commentIN and then reassign
$commentIn = $another_name ?
TIA.

Hi Ben

The quickest way to this is by using a framework.
and the best way i could find was using the yiiframework
www.yiiframework.com

i could create a basic form with validations in less then 15 minutes.

Hi Raymon

I think your main problem here is that you do not know which class you will
instantiate.
This can lead to undefined behaviour.

Maybe you need to re-analyse your solution.

[PHP] Netbeans IDE 6.5

[Skip Evans]

Hey all,

I just downloaded the Netbeans 6.5 IDE to use as a code 
editor, installed the PHP plugin for syntax highlighting and 
it didn't look so good, so I find on the forum a guy who has 
made a collection of files, starting in a directory called 
config, that will apparently change the highlighting more in 
line to what I'm used to.


But he gave no instructions how this is to be installed and I 
can't find anywhere in the documentation how to install this 
stuff.


Any Netbeaners out there know how to install syntax 
highlighting stuff?


I found it here.

http://forums.netbeans.org/post-46850.html

Downloaded and unzipped the archive and then I stopped like 
the robot on Lost in Space when they pulled out his power pack.


Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Skip

Re: [PHP] How to Get the Sub Classes of a Parent Class

[Raymond Irving]

Hi Martin,

This works great but I was hoping that I didn't have to loop through 
get_declared_classes to find the sub class. 

Is there a way to get the subclasses using Reflection? For example:

$r = new ReflectionClass($name);
print_r($r->getSubClasses());

Many Thanks

This script only works for loaded classes .
If your script has autoloader then there is no way to know the declared classes 
before you declare them.

error_reporting( E_ALL | E_STRICT );

Class Foo {}

Class Bar extends Foo {}
Class Baz extends Foo {}

Class Beer extends Bar {}
Class Pier extends Bar {}

function get_subclasses($class)
{

$sub = array();

foreach(get_declared_classes() as $name )
{
$rClass = new ReflectionClass($name);

if( $rClass->isSubclassOf( $class ))
{
$sub[] = $name;
}
}

return $sub;
}

print_r( get_subclasses( 'Foo' ));
print_r( get_subclasses( 'Bar' ));

I'm confused. If you don't know the name of the child class, how are
you going to know which one to instantiate? Are you going to pick one
at random?

What you're trying to do can probably be accomplished, but I can't
shake the feeling we're trying to solve the wrong problem here.

Any text output before the header() statement would stop it, this
includes spaces after closing ?> in any included files before the
header() as well, not just text from echos or prints.

If you have errors hidden or disabled, then you would not see the
warning from header(), try it with all errors enabled.

[PHP] What would stop header("Location...) from working?

[tedd]

Hi gang:

I just had a script stop following this statement:

   header("Location:users.php");

It *was* working, but now instead of running "users.php", it defaults 
to the parent script.


When I place exit() after it, such as:

   header("Location:users.php");
   exit();

The script simply exits. It does not continue to users.php -- BUT -- it did.

What would stop this statement from working?

Thanks,

tedd

Re: [PHP] PHP+Apache suddenly not working

[Jason Lixfeld]

Thanks for the replies guys.

As a few have eluded to, Apache is working fine.

What I've done is completely uninstalled, made clean from source,  
reinstalled and verified that the options were such that apache  
support is built into PHP and Apache.  Here's what I've found:


Apache seems to be compiled with the proper PHP support:

PHP seems to want to compile against the proper Apache libs as can be  
seen from the make | grep -i apache and the make install:

How about you store the data, expire both cookies then send the valid

[PHP] Cookie Quandary

[Brian Dunning]

I wrote some cookies for a whole bunch of site admins, but failed to  
set the path, so all the cookies are set to '/admin', which is not  
going to work for everything they need to do. They are also too long,  
set for 6 months.


I need to correct both issues, so I changed it to write cookies to '/'  
for 72 hours. I've checked my Safari, and I see that I have both  
cookies set: A long one for '/admin' and a short one for '/'. I'm  
worried that once the admins' short cookies run out, their browsers  
will pick up the longer lasting value for the '/admin' version of the  
cookie.


I want to kill everyones' '/admin' cookies, but I'm worried that some  
browsers might erase both cookies if I do this. Does anyone know if I  
can safely kill the '/admin' cookie without risking deletion of the  
'/' cookie?

[PHP] Re: simple xml object

[Mark Cilissen]

AChris W schreef:
I have the following xmlwith standard tags changed to [ and ] to 
prevent mail clients from encoding it as html.

[?xml version="1.0"?]
[resultset errors="0" results="86"]
[result id="20080922133104871678" lastinspected="9/29/2009

[result id="20080922133104871678" lastinspected="8/28/2009 
0:00"]1.1[/result]

. . .

I am using the simplexml_load_string to read it in to an object and 
execute the following code


 $xml = simplexml_load_string($content);


 foreach($xml as $Result){
   print_r($Result);
   foreach($Result->attributes() as $i => $v){
 $$i = $v;
 print "Attr: $i = '$v'\n";
   }
 }

that all works fine.  Problem is I can't figure out how to get the 
acutual value (0.4 and 1.1).  I also don't know why I can't simply do 
something like


$id = $Result->attributes()->id;

the output of this looks like 

SimpleXMLElement Object
(
   [...@attributes] => Array
   (
   [id] => 20080922133104871678
   [lastinspected] => 9/29/2009 0:00
   )

   [0] => 0.4
)
Attr: id = '20080922133104871678'
Attr: lastinspected = '9/29/2009 0:00'

SimpleXMLElement Object
(
   [...@attributes] => Array
   (
   [id] => 20080922133104871678
   [lastinspected] => 8/28/2009 0:00
   )

   [0] => 1.1
)
Attr: id = '20080922133104871678'
Attr: lastinspected = '8/28/2009 0:00'



How do I read the [0] value?  $Result[0] gives me nothing.



Although I'm not that familiar with SimpleXML, since the value returned 
is an object, wouldn't $Result->0 do the trick?

13:05:00] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function", if apache are not

I don't track threads closely enough to know if it's the same OP on this
thread. Apologies if I'm repeating myself.

I don't recall anyone disputing my example, nor any effective rebuttal
at all. And by the time I finished writing that email, I thought it was
a better example than I originally believed.

Paul, you already did this in one of Eric's threads a couple of weeks
back, and the best you could come up with when pressed was "Probably
not a great example, but...". Is it really necessary to rehash this?

Eric, I recommend reading up on how to develop testable code
(especially Mock Objects) - it's great discipline because it requires
everything to be decoupled.

The short version is that it's often useful in unit testing to "fake"
the classes that your target relies on, so that you're testing it in
isolation. For example you could provide the class under test with a
fake DB class that returns static results.

It's much easier to do this when you pass objects /to/ your class:

class MyClass {
function MyClass($db) {
}
}

than when your class inherits from the object:

class MyClass extends Db {
}

or when the class instantiates the object:

class MyClass {
function MyClass() {
$this->db = new  DB_CLASS;
}
}

If you go with the first approach, you're writing code that you and
anyone who comes after you can write useful tests for. The others, and
you're denying maintenance programmers a useful tool.

I disagree. There should be database class(es) which know how to deal
with the datastore(s). This may be as simple as a thin layer over the
PDO classes. The model talks to and uses the database class, and is the
only component which deals with the database class. The model serves up
whatever data the controller needs to feed to the view.

All are welcome to disagree.

RE: [PHP] What is the best practice for adding persistence to an MVC model?

[David Murphy]

I take a  different  approach :


// In the  MainHandler

Define('StorageClassName',"_MySQL");

Class UserController {
function __construct($objDataStore=false){
if(!$objDataStore)
$this->DataStore = new 
instanceof($this).STORAGECLASSNAME ;
}
Function update(){
$data = $this->DataStore->Load("foo");
$data->Set("foo","bar");
$data->save;
}


This assumes your using DBO  so the loaded foo object inherited the 
settings/methods from the DB Datastore.
Thus letting you  passing a different datastore object  or  it builds one based 
on the model name and the storage type you set as a constant.

However it still links the two together so you can use  $this calls to 
reference the DataStore of the Model layer.

Are you sure you selected the Apache mod in make config?

Yup.  Checked and double checked.  It's there.  Will do the make

[PHP] PHP+Apache suddenly not working

[Jason Lixfeld]

I have no doubt that this is due to an update that was done on my  
system at some point, but unfortunately I can't pinpoint where.  The  
upshot is that PHP is completely unresponsive for me when run from  
Apache and I'm not sure where to look.  I recognize that this isn't an  
apache support list.  This message is being cc'd there too.


The system is FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p15.  PHP 5.2.11 from ports.

The only error I get in my php log is this:

[27-Oct-2009 13:05:00] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function  
preg_match() in /usr/home/foo/public_html/cerb4/libs/devblocks/libs/ 
zend_framework/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php on line 125


Now I've checked and double checked that pcre support is built into  
php.  I'm not sure if there's a command that I can run in php to show  
all the extensions that are installed or something, but I'm a  
bazillion percent sure that it's there, so I don't believe that's the  
cause of the error.  I'm reasonably sure of this because the  
preg_match error thrown every minute when a cron job runs, I have  
a .php that calls phpinfo() that shows a blank screen when hit from a  
browser.


My problem is that I don't know how to troubleshoot this.

I can seem to run PHP from the CLI just fine, so does this look more  
like an apache issue or perhaps some php module or extension that  
talks to apache?

Thanks a lot! Really.
I will now start coding based on all this information and see what I will get.

I'm sure that the designer will kill me later, by telling me... couldn't we 
just... fade in this a little bit... Ahhrrggg!!!

Think of it a bit like an online shop selling operating systems:

1) All the main OS's you sell are on the front page - Linux, MacOS &
Windows
2) User clicks on Linux, and is taken to the url /products/linux and
they are shown all the Linux OS's on offer (Fedora, SuSe, Ubuntu,
Knoppix, etc)
3) User clicks on Fedora and is taken to the URL /products/linux/fedora
and they are shown all the versions of Fedora up to 11
4) etc

The URL belies what section you are on, which makes it easy for the user
to remember, and easy for you to extract information from to know
exactly where the user is. Obviously in the above URLs I'm assuming
mod_rewrite is being used.

Ok. 

>so you only need to retrieve those that the user is interested in, which is 
>shown by what they click on.

The relation between click and the display of the corresponded array child 
elements, without using js, is the hardest to understand:
 
The user will click on a link / the URL will change / the new page will be 
loaded to the user / the information displayed on that page should be related 
with the element clicked on the first step. 

So, the next page, should know what we have clicked before, in order to display 
the information accordingly. 
One of the ways that this can be done, is by passing params over the URL. The 
URL param will tell us what element have we clicked, so it should be based on 
URL. Once we have that, we need to ask: as that value passed on the url a 
correspondent array element that contains children? If so, display them. 



(I realize my incapacity of talking technically, by referring to "pages" and 
other odd entities. I'm sorry for that).

Does the above makes any sense?

RE: [PHP] What is the best practice for adding persistence to an MVC model?

[Mert Oztekin]

Hi Eric,

IMO, controllers shouldnt be responsible for interacting models and 
datastoreres. Controllers might only change the datastore class of a model.

You may use your models in lots of controller functions. Defining datastore in 
all controllers seems not a good practice. (too much unneccessary codes written)

A simple example

//controller
Public function doItController()
{
$user = new user();
// $user->setDataStorer(new anotherDataStorer());   // this is optional 
if you want to change models datastorer
$user->loadUserFromId(1);
}

// model
Class user
{
Protected $_dataStorer = null;

Public function loadUserFromId($id = 0)
{
// codes codes codes
$result =   $this->getDataStorer()->query("select .");
// codes codes codes
}

// codes codes codes
Public function getDataStorer()
{
if(null == $this->_dataStorer)
$this->_dataStorer = new myVeryBestDataStorer();
return $this->_dataStorer;
}

Public function setDataStorer($newStorer)
{
$this->_dataStorer = $newStorer;
}
}


Hope it will be usefull and understandable

Subject: [PHP] What is the best practice for adding persistence to an MVC model?

I'm in the process of implementing an ultra-light MVC framework in PHP.
It seems to be a common opinion that the loading of data from a
database, file etc. should be independent of the Model, and I agree.
What I'm unsure of is the best way to link this "data layer" into MVC.

I've considered a few options:

*Datastore interacts with Model*

//controller
public function update()
{

  $model = $this->loadModel('foo');
  $data = $this->loadDataStore('foo', $model);

  $data->loadBar(9); //loads data and populates Model
  $model->setBar('bar');
  $data->save(); //reads data from Model and saves

}

*Controller mediates between Model and Datastore*

Seems a bit verbose and requires the model to know that a datastore exists.

//controller
public function update()
{

  $model = $this->loadModel('foo');
  $data = $this->loadDataStore('foo');

  $model->setDataStore($data);

  $model->getDataStore->loadBar(9); //loads data and populates Model
  $model->setBar('bar');
  $model->getDataStore->save(); //reads data from Model and saves

}

*Datastore extends Model*

What happens if we want to save a Model extending a database datastore
to a flatfile datastore?

//controller
public function update()
{

  $model = $this->loadHybrid('foo'); //get_class == Datastore_Database

  $model->loadBar(9); //loads data and populates
  $model->setBar('bar');
  $model->save(); //saves

}

*Model extends datastore*

This allows for Model portability, but it seems wrong to extend like
this. Further, the datastore cannot make use of any of the Model's methods.

//controller extends model
public function update()
{

  $model = $this->loadHybrid('foo');  //get_class == Model

  $model->loadBar(9); //loads data and populates
  $model->setBar('bar');
  $model->save(); //saves

}



Any input on the "best" option - or alternative - would be most appreciated.

That sounds about right yeah. You could also get a little bit clever and
only retrieve the rows from your db that will go to make the array
elements you'll need. It doesn't make sense to retrieve a full product
list each time someone visits the page, so you only need to retrieve
those that the user is interested in, which is shown by what they click
on.

Exactly.

Ok...

So the focus should not be on the click events, but on the URL changes.
 
Since it will be based on URL changes and not, on click/hover events, I can 
rely this navigation system entirely on php. Right?

If this is correct, the only think I need then, is to create a condition, to 
show/hide ul/li items based on:

a) the url changes.

OR

b) the existence or non-existence of child array elements that needs to be 
verified each time the user navigates to a page.



Is this correct?


Thanks again,

[PHP] Re: What is the best practice for adding persistence to an MVC model?

[Tony Marston]

It sounds like you need a combination of MVC and the 3 Tier Architecture. 
They are not the same thing, for reasons described at 
http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/infrastructure-faq.html#faq26

I have combined both these patterns in the Radicore framework - take a look 
at http://www.radicore.org/. If you don't like the idea of downloading a 
large framework there is a small sample application described in 
http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/sample-application.html which is 
available for download.

Basically you need to have code in every business object (every object in 
the Business layer) which communicates with a separate object for all its 
database access. This is known as a Data Access Object as it exists in the 
Data Access layer.

If you do it right it will be possible to have a separate DAO for each DBMS 
so that you can switch between one database engine and another by simply 
changing a single configuration variable. In my own framework I have 
implemented DAOs for MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle.

Also, try not to hijack someone elses thread. When making a new thread,
you shouldn't just use a reply to all from another message but create a
whole new email, because a lot of us use email clients that are thread
aware, and group message by thread, which is not the same as by subject!

I think the term drop-menu is bad in this case, as essentially what you
are saying is:

1) user is presented with the basic navigation menu
2) user clicks an item and page navigates somewhere else
3) because of the item user clicked in 2) display some extra menu items

That's not a menu, it's just a navigation bar that changes slightly
depending on where you are in the site...
