Re: [PHP] Array / form processing
Ron Piggott schrieb:
I am writing a custom shopping cart that eventually the cart will be
uploaded to PayPal for payment. I need to be able to include the option
that the purchase is a gift certificate.
At present my add to cart function goes like this:
===
# Gift Certificate: 1 is a gift; 2 is personal use
if ( $gift_certificate == yes ) {
$gift = 1;
} else {
$gift = 2;
}
$_SESSION['life_coaching_order'][$product][$gift]['quantity'] =
$_SESSION['life_coaching_order'][$product][$gift]['quantity'] + 1;
===
Now I need to display the shopping cart contents. I want to do this
through an array as the contents of the shopping cart are in a session
variable. I start displaying the shopping cart contents by a FOREACH
loop:
===
foreach ($_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] AS $coaching_fee_theme_reference
= $value ) {
===
What I need help with is that I don't know how to test the value of $gift
in the above array if it is a 1 or 2 (which symbolizes this is a gift
certificate).
I have something like this in mind:
if ( $_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] == 2 ) {
But I don't know how to access all the components of the array while I am
going through the FOREACH loop.
By using a 1 or 2 I have made gift certificates their own product. If
you a better method I could use please provide me with this feedback.

First at all, I wouldn't use 1 or 2 for defining important informations.
use something like
define('ORDER_GIFT', 1);
define('ORDER_PERSONAL',2);
If you want to check all values of your array you can use several
foreach loops like
foreach ($_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] AS $coaching_product = $tmp_array)
{
foreach ($tmp_array as $coaching_gift = $tmp_array2)
{
switch ($coaching_gift)
case ORDER_GIFT: break;
case ORDER_PERSONAL: break;
)
}
}
Personally I would prefer writing a class like
class Order
{
private $product;
private $gift;
private $quantity;
const ORDER_GIFT=1;
const ORDER_PERSONAL=2;
function getGift() {
return $this - gift;
}
}
using
$_SESSION['life_coaching_order'][] = new Order();
foreach ( $_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] as $order )
{
switch ( $order - getGift() )
case ORDER_GIFT: break;
case ORDER_PERSONAL: break;
}
I hope that will help you,

Does Java have an equivalent? Is it planned? I don't know, but Java obviously supports late binding. I was looking more for dynamic types, much more of interest to the average PHP dev as that's one of the typical stumbling blocks when switching languages.

But from what I've seen and like so far is that ASP.NET supports unsigned primitive types (S/Byte, U/Int16, U/Int32, U/Int64) while Java doesn't - even though there are requests to have it implemented/supported back in late 1990s. Also, it's a shame that the same support doesn't carry to MS' SQL Server. It's a +1 for MySQL here! But then, if you intend to use MS' MVC in the future, it's only officially supported in v3.5+ (it's MS way of forcing people to upgrade). That being the case, it's no longer 'deploy anywhere' since Mono only supports up to v2, IIRC. PHP Java has the major advantage of 'develop anywhere' 'deploy anywhere'. Thus in the long run, you have lower TCO, IMO, due to the licensing for the OS and individual 'client access'... Anywhere = any OS that will support the JDK and/or PHP binaries.

I suggest you concentrate less on the language and more on: - interesting / challenging projects - using PHP with other new interesting technologies - applying design / programming paradigms from other languages in PHP - contributing to PHP internals Status.net, GNU Social, DISO Project, lorea.cc and elgg all occupy a rather interesting project space with small but inspiring communities of people who like to push technical boundaries and merge technologies, particularly within the social space. http://www.ushahidi.com/platform is a thriving project which combines technical excellence and forward thinking with real world large scale community needs, being critical in several major world events, even if you don't get involved, their code bases for ushahidi + related on http://github.com/ushahidi is brilliant, likewise the swiftriver project http://swift.ushahidi.com/ doesn't look much on the face of it but is really good - just check out the SwiftRiver Research at the right. There are many interesting protocol based communities who often implement in PHP, and these can be rather interesting / challenging and active spaces - ActivityStreams, Salmon-Protocol, OneSocialWeb to name just a few. On the technology side of things, you may want to consider going down the NoSQL route for a while, http://nosql-database.org/ gives a good summary of database - I'd recommend CouchDB, MongoDB and Redis for a nice well supported start that will introduce you to new design paradigms and bring many performance increases to your applications. Alternatively you may find it refreshing to try some other languages, perhaps a functional language like Scala, OCaml or Haskell, or maybe in to a very active language such as ECMAScript (server side js) via something like http://node.js/ you may just find that you don't want to use PHP any more, or you may find that you want to apply the paradigms and lessons learned to PHP using the new features in 5.3 Hope that helps a little, I'll stop here because I could list projects till the end of time!

that's not a fair test because you have rand() and md5() calls in there

I also ran the tests in the opposite order just to ensure they were

the $a$b approach was 28 seconds.
Thus, concatenation is faster - but you have to get up to circa 10
million+ uses per second to use it.

LOL True, it wouldn't be enough to calculate it as an inverse of solar traversal, but there are of course predetermined formulae for both moon phases and its traversal based on longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates, and adjustments for altitude and horizon variances. on a side note, where would you even get this info? is there a set formula for sunrise/set? Sure. Look up sunrise and sunset times on Google and you'll see they're readily available. Then it's trivial to calculate axial tilt and time elapse between periods of equinox to find the variances for dates not already pre-calculated. -- /Daniel P.

RE: [PHP] What other languages do you use?
From: Nathan Rixham As per the subject, not what other languages have you used, but what other languages do you currently use? I guess it may also be interesting to know if: (1) there's any particular reason for you using a different language (other than work/day-job/client requires it) (2) about to jump in to another language C, Perl and Java. Been programming embedded devices and credit card terminals in C (and ASM) for about three decades. Still have to maintain that code. (We are supporting some devices that went out of production in 1992.) Have dabbled in Perl for about half of that time. Started out doing Perl-CGI for a web site. It's useful for generating test data to emulate random events, test drivers for communications protocols and to control test systems. I'm still learning both PHP and Java. I know just enough of each to be very dangerous. I'm most comfortable in C, so I lean towards that for casual projects at home.
