Hi everyone,
I have been searching the archives for a past discussion where some software
that some folks use to (I think) save code snippets from e-mails for future
references or something of such.
Does anyone remember that discussion? I am trying to figure out a good way to
create my own wiki type thing so I can use it to help me and be able to go
back and review very helpful e-mails or code that was very helpful to my
understanding of how it works.
Here lately I've been remembering things that were brought up on the list that
had very helpful info, but remembering what thread they were in or what topic,
so I can find it in the archives is harder than I thought it would be.
Anyone have any suggestions, techniques or remember that discussion so I can
find it in the archives again?

Hello,
I've got a php form processing question. I've got a text field like so:
div
label for=txtnameName*:/label
input type=text name=name id=name size=30 value=?php echo
htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']), ENT_QUOTES, UTF-8; ? / br /
/div
My question is what is the purpose of the id field? I know the name
field is what php references, but am not sure what id is for?
Thanks.
Dave.

Hi Dave,
Sometimes it's helpful to target a specific element for stylistic or
functional purposes, and that's when you'll find an id attribute helpful.
In your example above, label elements use the id in the 'for' attribute
(and, speaking to your example, you should have for=name instead of
for=txtname):
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_label.asp
In terms of CSS, you can specifically reference the element by it's id using
the notation tag_name#id_value, and id's have the highest order of
specificity (i.e., if you try and style an element by tag name, class,
and/or id, the id styles are what will take precedent, all other things
equal.)
http://webdesign.about.com/od/cssselectors/qt/cssselid.htm
http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/css_specificity_wars.html
In terms of javascript, you can reference the element by it's id by using
the function getElementById('id_value):
http://www.tizag.com/javascriptT/javascript-getelementbyid.php
Just remember that a particular id can only occur once on a page (another
difference between the name attributes in a form, as you could have multiple
forms on a page and each form could have an input with a zip name without
issue, but that same page could only have one id with the value zip.)
That all said, with the advent of javascript data attributes, you'll have
one more way to target elements for design and functionality:
http://ejohn.org/blog/html-5-data-attributes/
Hope this helps,
Adam

Hi All,
Need help in resolving the below problem-
I would like to get the whole comma separated string into an array value-
1. $postText = chapters 5, 6, 7, 8;
OR
2. $postText = chapters 5, 6;
OR
3. $postText = chapters 5, 6, 7;
What i have done so far is-
preg_match('/chapter[s]*[ ]*(\d+, \d+, \d+)/i', $postText, $matches);
The above will exactly match the third value $postText = chapters 5, 6,
7;
By Above $matches will contain a value of : $matches[1] = '5, 6, 7';
Now i need a SINGLE regular expression which can match first, second
variable above or any number of comma separated string and IMPORTANTLY
provide me that whole comma separated sting value (as above) in single array
key element like below-
$matches[1] = '5, 6, 7';
OR
$matches[1] = '5, 6';
OR
$matches[1] = '5, 6, 7, 8, 9';
Also I have to use regular expression only as the flow of the code does not
permit to use any other method to get comma separated string from the
master/base string.
Thanks,
Gaurav Kumar
No problem.
If you are on Windows, then the RegexBuddy application from JGSoft is
pretty good. It allows you to build regex in a step by step way with a
full description of what the regex will do, along with testing and
code snippets. Also has a lot of examples to work from and a built in
support forum.
BTW. I'm not connected to JGSoft. Just a happy licensee.
Richard.

Your code should be modified just a bit for better conformance and
portability, but I understand that you're just using it as a test.
After following the suggestions above (and remembering to restart
Apache, of course), try this:

Hello,
I've got a php form processing question. I've got a text field like
so:
div
label for=txtnameName*:/label
input type=text name=name id=name size=30 value=?php
echo
htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']), ENT_QUOTES, UTF-8; ? / br /
/div
My question is what is the purpose of the id field? I know the name
field is what php references, but am not sure what id is for?
Sometimes it's helpful to target a specific element for stylistic or
functional purposes, and that's when you'll find an id attribute
helpful.
In your example above, label elements use the id in the 'for'
attribute
(and, speaking to your example, you should have for=name instead
of
for=txtname):
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_label.asp
In terms of CSS, you can specifically reference the element by it's
id
using
the notation tag_name#id_value, and id's have the highest order of
specificity (i.e., if you try and style an element by tag name,
class,
and/or id, the id styles are what will take precedent, all other
things
equal.)
http://webdesign.about.com/od/cssselectors/qt/cssselid.htm
http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/css_specificity_wars.html
In terms of javascript, you can reference the element by it's id by
using
the function getElementById('id_value):
http://www.tizag.com/javascriptT/javascript-getelementbyid.php
Just remember that a particular id can only occur once on a page
(another
difference between the name attributes in a form, as you could have
multiple
forms on a page and each form could have an input with a zip name
without
issue, but that same page could only have one id with the value
zip.)
That all said, with the advent of javascript data attributes, you'll
have
one more way to target elements for design and functionality:
http://ejohn.org/blog/html-5-data-attributes/
If you look at the current HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 specification, you
will find 'name' is no longer listed as a standard attribute. It is
all
but obsolete and has been replaced by 'id' almost everywhere. They
actually recommend you put both attributes into tags with identical
values until your applications can be updated to drop all uses of the
name attribute.
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/default.asp
Errr, what? Name is by no means obsolete for forms. Have a look at
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/association-of-controls-and-forms.html#attr
-fe-name
- it's still in the html5 spec and there's little to no chance of it
going away any time soon.
HTML5 is years away from completion and still changes far too often, so
we don't consider it nearly ready for prime time. XHTML is here now, has
several usable validation suites and has been stable for years. That's
more of a reasonable target for commercial products.
Relying on w3schools is not ... really advisable.
Where else would you go? Even W3C doesn't publish decent reference
documents, and their specifications are inscrutable to normal human
beings.
Bob McConnell
Sorry about the empty mail, a mistake.
Apart from that, html5 is not going to do away with the name
attribute. And name is in xhtml1 and html4.01 and there's no mention
of it being obsolete, deprecated or in any other fashion on the way
out.
As far as reference: the source.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#a_dtd_XHTML-1.0-Strict very
clearly specifies that name is still a very valid attribute.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.4 shows the same
in a slightly more readable format - the only mentions of anything
deprecated (there are no references to anything obsolete) are for the
isindex element and the align attribute of the legend element.
What is the case regarding the name attribute is that it's been
deprecated for a few elements (such as a, form, frame, img) in XHTML1
and will be removed in XHTML2 (which we'll likely never see used in
browsers). See http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.10

David: You're mixing things (Octal/Permissions)-- let's deal with Octal first. All number systems have a defined base for the power of their placeholder. Our Decimal system is based upon tens. More explicitly -- each placeholder in the Decimal system is dependant on a power of ten. For example, the number 559 (DEC) is simply: (5 x 10^2) + (5 x 10^1) + (9 x 10^0) That's 5 times 10 to the power of two, plus 5 times 10 to the power of 1, plus 9 times ten to the power of zero (which is always 1). The sum of the products is 559. I won't go into the reasons why we want to convert numbers between bases, but there are reasons. The beauty of Octal (base 8) is it is much easier to convert from Binary than it is to convert Binary to Decimal. Additionally, it's simpler to convert Octal to Decimal than it is to convert Binary to Decimal, Lastly, it is much easier to take the conversion from Binary to Octal and then convert from Octal to Decimal in a two step process than it is to it all at once by converting Binary to Decimal. That's the main reason why we use Octal. For example: If you take the Binary number: 00100010 (BIN) and translate that to Octal, you have: 1057 (OCT) How did I do that? That is (as you said above) a very easy process -- you just break it up into groups of three. (100) = 1, (000) = 0, (101) = 5, (111) = 7 But what you are actually doing is: 1 x 10^3 (OCT) + 0 x 10^2 (OCT) + 5 x 10^1 (OCT) + 7 x 1 x 10^0( OCT) -- side note -- Why is 111 = 7? It's because: 1 x 10^2 = 4 1 x 10^1 = 2 1 x 10^0 = 1 Total 7 -- Interestingly enough it's 7 in both Octal and Decimal (and anything greater than base 8). -- end of side note --- But realize the number 10 in Octal is 8 in Decimal. As such, I can convert Octal to Decimal pretty easily by: 1 x 8^3 = 512 0 x 8^2 = 0 5 x 8^1 = 40 7 x 8^0 = 7 559 (DEC) Please note 4 computations. Whereas, if I tried to convert Binary (base 2) directly to Decimal (based 10) it would go like this: 0010 0010 (BIN) 1 x 10^9 = 512 0 x 10^8 = 0 0 x 10^7 = 0 0 x 10^6 = 0 1 x 10^5 = 32 0 x 10^4 = 0 1 x 10^3 = 8 1 x 10^2 = 4 1 x 10^1 = 2 1 x 10^0 = 1 Total: 559 Please note 10 computations! As you can see above, it is *much* easier to take a Binary number and break it into Octal portions by simply looking at the pairs of three, namely: (100) = 1, (000) = 0, (101) = 5, (111) = 7 And from that run the Octal to Decimal conversion. === Now permissions === Permissions are set to the power of 8 (Octal). Why? Because we don't need a higher base number system to cover the needs of setting permissions. It is defined as: read (r) = 4 write (w) = 2 execute (x) = 1 So, the numbers mean: 7 = rwx (read write execute) 6 = rw- (read and write) 5 = r-x (read and execute) 4 = r-- (read) 3 = -wx (write and execute) 2 = -w- (write) 1 = --x (execute 0 = --- (no access) The permission system for files/directories is divided into divisions, namely Owner, Group, and ALL. Each division can have their own permission settings. The standard is to list them in order of Owner, Group, and ALL such as: 777 means that all three divisions have their permission set to read, write, and execute. 755 means that the Owner has permission set to read, write, and execute whereas the Group, and ALL have their permissions set to only read and execute. You often see this displayed as: Owner Group All example --- chmod 777 rwx rwx rwx rwx rwx rwx Owner Group All example --- chmod 755 rwx r-x r-x rwx r-x -r-x Owner Group All example --- chmod 766 rwx rw- rw- rwx rw- rw- Owner Group All example --- chmod 644 rw- r-- r-- rw- r-- -r-- Owner Group All example --- chmod 600 rw- --- --- rw- --- --- There is no magical rule why we use Octal for this. In fact, we could have used any system greater than base 8 -- even base 16 (HEX), but there was no need for more (there is, but I don't want to explain that). I hope this lifts some of the confusion.

[PHP] Re: The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object.

Hi, i got this error that i can't figure out.. Maybe you can help;
Notice: mbConfig(): The script tried to execute a method or access a

I have a partial fix, thanks to
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/965611/forcing-access-to-php-incomplete-class-object-properties
function fixObject ($object)

if (!is_object ($object) gettype ($object) == 'object')
return ($object = unserialize (serialize ($object)));
return $object;
}
I believe this to be a hack, to call this function to fix my objects.
But it gets me going again.
I'm still holding out for more tips though ;)
lib_mediaBeez.php:540+;
function mbConfig ($name) {

540: if (class_exists('classCoreDBtable')

$sp-rec[$name];
}
//defaults required?
if (is_null($value)) {
switch ($name) {
case sp_theme: $value=mediaBeez_default; break;
case sp_thumb_width : $value=95; break;
case sp_thumb_height : $value = 95; break;
case sp_midres_width : $value=800; break;
case sp_midres_height : $value = 600; break;
case sp_buttonTheme : $value=orangeGreenBlue; break;
case sp_menu_theme : $value=whiteBlue; break;
lib_mediaBeez.php:0;
?php
require_once (defines_mediaBeez.php);
require_once ('core_db_table.php');
So i do include the class, yet i get this error.
Any clues will be much appreciated..

[PHP] NULL Date Entries...
In one of my forms, I am building a variable that I can use as an
INSERT string.
On my form, I have several DATE fields which exist of 3 fields MM - DD
-
when I build my string it looks like this:
array('dbf'='applicant_dob',
'f'=array('applicant_dob_1','applicant_dob_2','applicant_dob_3'),
'req'=0, 's'='/'),
This enters in the DB fine when there is a DATE, but when these fields
are left empty, it inserts into the the DB as 2069-12-31.
How does one deal with this?

How are you allowing the user to select a date? If it is three form
fields, it might be logical to use select lists with the allowed range
of values in.
If that's not possible, use lines like this to set default values:
$month = (isset($_POST['month']) preg_match('/^\d{2}$/',
$_POST['month']))?$_POST['month']:'01';
which would set a default month value of '01' if there was either no
month value sent or it wasn't a 2-digit value.

Not sure I'd bother with a preg there, intval should do it nicely.
Keep in mind you probably want to check the date at the end of this
with http://dk2.php.net/manual/en/function.checkdate.php or something
similar.

I thought of using intval(). but it would convert the string '01' into
the number 1, which wouldn't work in a MySQL date string without the
extra padding of a 0. You can do that with sprintf, but then it comes
down to what you prefer, intval and sprintf, or a single preg_match
call? Not sure there's any cause for concern over speed on this, as any
difference would be extremely slight.

The single preg_match will check the format (though not the contents,
so you're stuck with more function calls anyway) but I'd much rather
make sure the data is valid and format the date as I see fit with a
date() call - you never know what users throw at you, and instead of
failing (silently in this case) because you received 1 instead 01 I'd
rather format the data myself.

I suppose, I only ever check for valid content, not logical content. I
let the DB handle the date (I believe if the range goes beyond a proper
date it falls into the next date like PHP does), but I tend to use a
Javascript picker for the date. The only time I've ever worked with date
fields that allow a user entry has been on CMS systems, so I knew in
advance what specs the users had (so I could get away with relying on a
Javascript input method and hope nothing went wrong!)
However, checking to ensure the date is indeed valid and not something
like 31st February is a good idea I agree! :)

Apart from that, html5 is not going to do away with the name

As far as reference: the source.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#a_dtd_XHTML-1.0-Strict very
clearly specifies that name is still a very valid attribute.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.4 shows the same
in a slightly more readable format - the only mentions of anything
deprecated (there are no references to anything obsolete) are for the
isindex element and the align attribute of the legend element.
What is the case regarding the name attribute is that it's been
deprecated for a few elements (such as a, form, frame, img) in XHTML1
and will be removed in XHTML2 (which we'll likely never see used in
browsers). See http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.10
All this is fortunate, since I don't think PHP is even aware of the ID
attribute. Imagine trying to process form fields without the name
attribute being present.

Not sure if my other email got through earlier. Replacing the name
attribute on form fields with the id one is not feasible at all. They
don't even behave the same. What would happen if you had two forms on a
page that both had an element with the same name? Using the name
attribute, everything is fine, but not so if you were using the id
instead.
Going further, what about form elements sent as an array? I don't think
the id attribute is set up to follow any sort of array format (bearing
in mind also that it's only PHP that uses the [] suffix to denote a form
element be sent as an array). Doing so would break the functionality of
many pages today (no longer would DOM functions such as getElementByID()
work anymore because you'd be retrieving potentially more than one
element, so code like document.getElementById('element').style.something
wouldn't work.
Either way, the id attribute is not, and dare I say doesn't ever look to
be, a substitute for the name attribute on form elements.
