Hi,
Does somebody know company for PHP programing where people can
work from home? Actual I only want to know does have regular or
part time job for PHP developers who work from home via internet.
I'm not just php programmer (more software architect and
systems integrator). Pure sw-development projects are mostly
remote, integration often onsite.

I ask as you look at the comments and replies to your post, you think long
term.
Today you want the italic option, tomorrow you want to change the display to
something else. Now you have to go back and change ever place you set the
italic symbols to make your change.
BUT if you use styles you can not only change the display to the desired
look in one location but you can have flexibility.
Example:
Let's say the comments are coming from a database and you want to display
the comment differently based on the contents of the comment.
In my example I have 3 different classes in the style. Now as I foreach over
the fake data array example, I simply pick the style to use based on each
matching criteria. While the static examples
style
#wever_comment{font-style:italic}
#good_comment{font-style:italic; color: green;}
#bad_comment{font-weight:bold; color: red;}
/style
$variable_from_database = array('good','bad','whatever');
Foreach($variable as $key)
{
Echo 'Other Comments:';
If(preg_match(/bad/i,'$key')){Echo 'div
class=bad_comment$key/div';}
If(preg_match(/good/i,'$key')){Echo 'div
class=good_comment$key/div';}
If(preg_match(/whatever/i,'$key')){Echo 'div
class=wever_comment$key/div';}
Echo 'br/';
}
In the long term the flexibility allows you to make faster changes with a
higher degree, of what I like to call smarter code. Yes the filters are
static, and I would not use static filters personally. It is meant as an
explanation, not a how to.

Subject: [PHP] Formatting an ECHO statement.
Team,
A bit of silly one but like my book says, there are no dumb questions, I am
asking it here.
If I have :
$other=Whatever;
and I do:
echo 'Other Comments:' .$other. 'br/
works perfectly well and prints the value. What if I want to, now, italicize
the value of $other with the above syntax? How do I achieve it?
I know we can do it this way : echo I am i$other/i; but I want to
learn how to do it with the above syntax like I mentioned earlier.
Regards,
Shreyas Agasthya

Whenever you get a blank screen running a php application, the
place
to look is the http server's error_log. This is frequently found
in / var/log/httpd/error_log or /var/log/apache2/error_log. (If
your
system is hosted someplace else, it could very easily be in a
different place). Typically you need root permission to read this
file. Tail the file after you run your PHP script to see the most
recent errors.
The code contained in the file CreateNew.php is:

Better to use the OO approach:
$cxn = new mysqli($host, $user, $password);

Instead of echo statements (which would just echo the contents to
the output, i.e., your browser, you want to assign them to a
variable, such as:
$sql = create database test22; use test22;

I would also like to be able to add data to a table, using

which I
can do
in MySQL as:
load data infile '/home/ethan/Databases/tester21.dat.' replace

Names fields escaped by '\\' terminated by '\t' lines
terminated by '\n'
;
That's a specific feature of the mysql program. You'd have to
write
something in php to be able to parse the file and insert the data.
There are examples all over the net. Then you would need to set up
sql insert or replace statements to actually get the data into the
data base using mysqli::query. There are numerous examples of this
as well.
Here's one example:
?php
$host = localhost;
$user = root;
$pwd = rootpassword;
$db = test22;
$table = table_to_insert_into;
$cxn = new mysql($host, $user, $pwd, $db);
$filename = tab-delimited.txt;
$contents = file($filename); // returns the contents of
the file
into an array, one line of file per array
$columns = explode(\t, $contents[0]); // get the column
names
from the first line

I have a strange issue here. I am running a CentOS machine, with
apache 2.2.3
php 5.1.6
kernel 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5xen
My sessions will work using https, but not using simple http. I've
compared my configs with another identical machine which works with
both, and I can't figure out why. Anyone got an idea?
Here's the simple script I run to test.
?php
session_start();
echo 'session started';
if (isset($_SESSION['name'])) {
echo 'br /' . $_SESSION['name'];

No error_log.
The error log only exists if he configures it properly and the script has
error. IE: log_errors error_log. Like I said, Ethan should start from

to the fundamentals of PHP.

[PHP] Execute a php page and don't wait for it to finish
Hi List, I have a php page that updates data from one database to another when it is run. My query is, how can I trigger the execution of this update page from another php / javascript without the calling page having to wait for the update page to finish? Basically, I think the update page needs to use: ignore_user_abort(1); set_time_limit(0); // I don't think the script will take more than 1 min. At the other end I found this: 1) http://www.mindraven.com/blog/php/run-a-php-script-in-the-background-using-ajax/ 2) On that page a user suggested using *pclose(popen(‘/usr/bin/php /path/to/something.php /dev/null ’, ‘r’)* **However, I need this to be usable on windows servers also. 3) Finally, would pcntl_exec, pcntl_fork, exec or something be useful for me?

Re: [PHP] Execute a php page and don't wait for it to finish
What about simply having the script trip a flag that another background script checks every 60 seconds or so? Once a minutes a background script checks to see if it needs to preform any tasks. When a user hits a certain page it does an ajax request to trip this flag and immediately returns. The next time the background script checks if it needs to do anything, it sees the tripped flag and preforms the relevant database copy - or whatever :-) Chris.

A simple AJAX script would do the trick, no? Or does the script which was triggered by JS get aborted if that page is unloaded? If javascript is unavailable you could trigger it through the img tag like so: img width='0' height='0' src=updater.php alt= / Again, not sure if it will keep running if the caller is unloaded. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Firs Day Of Week UNIX
Hi gang, I need a bailout. I have a fields called sys_first_day_of_week and the user can select one value which will be from a menu with these options: Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Based on this Preference and TODAYS DATE, I want to calculate the first day of the week. So if my preference is Monday and Today's date is 10/19/2010, I want to return a value of: 1287374400 (which is 10/18/2010) if my preference is Wednesday and Today's date is 10/19/2010, I want to return a value of: 1286942400 (which is 10/13/2010) Appreciate any help.

I'm not sure: You are searching the date of the last given weekdate?
$sys_first_day_of_week: Monday = 1, ..., Saturday = 6, Sunday = 0
Try this one: date seems to be correct, but value is different, maybe
different time zone?
if ( date('w') $sys_first_day_of_week ) {
$value = mktime(0,0,0,date('n'),date('j'),date('Y')) - ( 7 + date('w')
- $sys_first_day_of_week ) * 24 * 60 * 60;
}
else {
$value = mktime(0,0,0,date('n'),date('j'),date('Y')) - ( date('w') -

Re: [PHP] require_once
I see! Yes using an autoloader typically requires following a naming convention for your classes (though you can get around it by defining your own naming rules). I didn't care for it much at first, but it's nice that class names are explicit (less confusion when you have several) and not worrying about requiring all your files is a plus. Chris.

Hi List,
I have a php page that updates data from one database to another when
it is run.
My query is, how can I trigger the execution of this update page from
another php / javascript without the calling page having to wait for
the update page to finish?
Basically, I think the update page needs to use:
ignore_user_abort(1);
set_time_limit(0); // I don't think the script will take more than 1
min.
At the other end I found this:
1)
http://www.mindraven.com/blog/php/run-a-php-script-in-the-
background-u
sing-ajax/
2) On that page a user suggested using *pclose(popen('/usr/bin/php
/path/to/something.php /dev/null ', 'r')*
**However, I need this to be usable on windows servers also.
3) Finally, would pcntl_exec, pcntl_fork, exec or something be useful
for me?
Which of the above 3 options is the better one?
Other suggestions are welcome :)
Thanks and Regards,
Ferdi
1) I guess an asynchronous ajax request is what you are looking for. But
it
won't work on command line.
2) Maybe
http://robert.accettura.com/blog/2006/09/14/asynchronous-processing-
with-php/
could help you, but I never tried that.
What about having the script flags a field in the DB and have another script
running as daemon either via cron or Windows Service/Scheduler and run the
command based on the flag in the DB? This way, you don't have to worry
about the security issues of *pclose(popen('/usr/bin/php
/path/to/something.php /dev/null ', 'r')*
You can also have another page that will flag the DB should the user wish to
abort the command. The background script would check this abort flag so
often based on your criteria and abort the corresponding command
accordingly, especially if some of the command may run for extended period
time.

Tommy

[PHP] PHP stream_socket_client OpenSSL error (unknown ca)
Hello,
I'm having some problems connecting to a server using the following php
script :
?php
$context = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'local_cert',
'./cert.pem');
stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'allow_self_signed', TRUE);
stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'verify_peer', FALSE);
$ctn = stream_socket_client('ssl://distant.server.com:987', $errno,
$errstr, 30, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $context);
if($ctn) {
print('Connected !');
}
?
cert.pem is a self signed certificate that I generated a few days ago,
it contains both RSA Key and Certificate and I have supplied the
certificate to the distant server.
When I launch the script I get the following errors :
Warning: stream_socket_client(): SSL operation failed with code 1.
OpenSSL Error messages:
error:14094418:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca in
/path/to/my/test.php on line 7
As it is a self signed certificate there is no CA so I added the two lines :
stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'allow_self_signed', TRUE);
stream_context_set_option($context, 'ssl', 'verify_peer', FALSE);
but that did not fix the problem.
This is my first script that connects through a socket using SSL, but I
think that it doesn't even get out of the server because it doesn't like
the certificate. Do you have any ideas about how I could get this
working ? or maybe just point me in the right direction. If you need any
more info please let me know.
Thank you,

[PHP] simple class constructor
Hi everyone,
I've been really good at googling to find my answers, but this time my
method isn't working for me.
I have created a very simple class and a constructor hoping to get a
much better understanding of how to work with them. The code works, but
because it's very simple, I'm not sure that the way I'm trying to
access it is possible.
All I'm trying to do is access the class from outside the function.
(is that how to describe it?)
For instance I have this simple code:
class simpleConstructer {
function __construct() {
echo running the constructor;
}
}
$test=new simpleConstructer();
Basically I want to learn how I can (if it's possible with this simple
code) is display the output on a different page.
I tried putting the line: $test=new simpleConstructer(); on the index
page and including the page the class is on, but it causes the index
page to go blank.
The thought of a session crossed my mind, but I'm pretty confident at my
level to know I don't need a session.
Could someone point me in the right direction or give me some pointers,
advice?

Re: [PHP] simple class constructor
Can you paste the index page's code here? If the page is going blank
there's probably an error (syntax, bad file path, etc). If you have access
you can turn error reporting on so you can actually see the error - or
better yet check the php error log file. Settings for both of these are in
the php.ini file, though sometimes they can be overridden by apache
directives (depending on the setup).

Re: [PHP] simple class constructor
Also wanted to point out that you can check the error reporting level and
log file location (really all of the php's settings) by calling phpinfo();
in your code.
?php
phpinfo();
?

Can you paste the index page's code here? If the page is going blank

you can turn error reporting on so you can actually see the error - or
better yet check the php error log file. Settings for both of these are in
the php.ini file, though sometimes they can be overridden by apache
directives (depending on the setup).

You're trying to instantiate the class. And the way you're doing it
here is correct. When you do this, $test becomes an object of this
class. If you had another function (member) within the class called
myfunction(), you could run it this way (after you instantiate the
class):
$test-myfunction();

You've likely got an error you're not seeing. Fix this first. If the
file your class is in is syntactically correct, and you do
include simpleConstructerFile.php;
in your index.php file, it should flawlessly include the code. Then, in
your index.php, you do this:
$test = new simpleConstructer;
you should see the contents of the echo statement appear on the page.
So you're on the right track. You just need to find the error first.

You're right. Using a session would be completely unnecessary, and I'm
not even sure how it would assist at all.

case since I was playing around for learning purposes, I just guessed
and run with it.

Re: [PHP] simple class constructor
The constructor is the __construct() method, and it gets executed automatically when you instantiate the class into an object. The class defines the state (fields/properties) and behavior (methods/functions) that its objects will have. Instantiating the class is the fancy term for creating a new object with that state and behavior and calling the class's constructor on it. From then on you can call other methods on the object and access its public state. David

David M.
I had a misspell there due to copy and paste :)) ... Anyway, when you
instantiate the class, the __construct() is executed. What you specified
inside that __construct() will run automatically when instantiate (create the
class object). Example:
class MyClass()
{
function __construct() {
$this-init();
}
function init() {
// init your class for whatever you want to do
}
function executeTaskOne() {
// to do one task
}
function executeTaskTwo() {
// to do another task
}
}
There's no limit on how many methods you can have for the class but it comes
down to overall application design for the purpose needed. There's also
something called visibility too. You might want to check [1] for indepth
explaination and samples.

[PHP] Possible foreach bug; seeking advice to isolate the problem
I've got a script which originally contained the following piece of
code:
foreach ( $objs as $obj ) {
do_some_stuff($obj);
}
When I tested it, I found that on every iteration of the loop the last
element of $objs was assigned the value of the current element. I was
able to step through the loop and watch this happening, element by
element.
I originally encountered this problem using PHP v5.2.4 under Windows
XP. I later reproduced it in v5.3.2 under XP.
The function call wasn't doing it. I replaced the function call with
an echo statement and got the same result.
For my immediate needs, I evaded the problem by changing the foreach
loop to a for loop that references elements of $objs by subscript.
That leaves me with the question: what is going wrong with foreach?
I'm trying to either demonstrate that it's my error, not the PHP
engine's, or isolate the problem in a small script that I can submit
with a bug report. The current script isn't suitable for that because
it builds $objs by reading a database table and doing some rather
elaborate manipulations of the data.
I tried to eliminate the database by doing a var_export of the array
after I built it, then assigning the exported expression to a variable
immediately before the foreach. That broke the bug -- the loop
behaved correctly.
There's a report of a bug that looks similar in the comments section
of php.net's manual page for foreach, time stamped 09-Jul-2009 11:50.
As far as I can tell it was never submitted as a bug and was never
resolved. I sent an inquiry to the author but he didn't respond.
Can anyone make suggestions on this -- either insights into what's
wrong, or suggestions for producing a portable, reproducible example?
