Hey Everyone!
So I came across a problem that I don't know how to fix... I have searched
and thought and just not having anything click as to where I am messing
up...
I have a few functions as follows:
?PHP
function ddbYear($name, $message, $_POST, $option){
//Make sure to post form start/stop OUTSIDE of this function...
//It's not meant to be a one size fits all function!
echo NAME: . $name . BR;
echo MESSAGE: . $message . BR;
echo POST: . $_POST . BR;
echo OPTION: . $option . BR;
$sticky = '';
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$sticky = $_POST[{$name}];
echo STICKY: . $sticky;
}
//echo OPTION: ;
//print_r($option);
echo HTML
select name={$name}
option value=0{$message}/option
HTML;
foreach ($option as $key = $value){
if($key == $sticky) {
echo 'option value=' . $key .' selected' . $value . '/option';
}else{
echo 'option value=' . $key .'' . $value . '/option';
}
}
echo HTML
/select
HTML;
unset($value);
return;
}
?
One for Month, Day Year... All the same exact code... When I get brave
I'll combine it into 1 functions :)
Now... What it's trying to do.. It's on a update form on my website.
Basically pulls the info from the database and displays it in the form again
so it can be edited and resubmitted...
As I'm sure you can tell from the function it checks to see if the a value
has been selected in the drop down box and if it has then set the drop down
box to that value.
I call the function like this:
?PHP
$startYear = date(Y, $row['startdate']); //Actual DBValue: 1265000400
$optionYear = array(2010 = 2010, 2011 = 2011, 2012 = 2012,
2013 = 2013, 2014 = 2014);
ddbYear(startYear, Select Year, $startYear, $optionYear);
?
The output I'm getting is:
THESE ARE THE ACTUAL UNPROCESSED (OTHER THEN SEPARATING) VALUES FROM THE
DATABASE
startmonth: 2
startday: 1
startYear: 2010
endmonth: 11
endDay: 30
endYear: 1999
THESE ARE THE VALUES INSIDE THE FUNCTION
NAME: startYear
MESSAGE: Select Year
POST: 2010
OPTION: Array
STICKY: 2
Now... The problem is that $sticky get set to 2 instead of 2010... But I
can't figure out why...
Anyone have any ideas?
And just incase I didn't provide enough info here's a link that shows it
happening:

It is extremely counter-intuitive to have parameters named after
superglobal variables.
?php
/**
* This function looks like it does nothing.
*/
function EmptyFunction($_POST)
{
}
// Build $_GET
$_GET['Name'] = 'Richard';
print_r($_GET);
print_r($_POST);
EmptyFunction($_GET);
print_r($_GET);
print_r($_POST);
?
Rather than doing nothing, any parameter passed to it will be assigned
to the super global $_POST array.
There is no pass be reference $_POST which would be one way to
alter a variable that exists outside of the scope of the function.
If your intention _IS_ to assign to the $_POST super-global, then just
assign it. Don't pass it.
Using any super global as a parameter is almost always NOT going to
have the intent required.

Maybe it's just me, but using the name of a global as a function
parameter just seems like a bad idea. Yes, you can do it. Should
you? I think not. Especially, as, you are passing it a scalar below
and treating it here like the global array.
It was there as a hold over from when I originally made the functions
which just had to deal with getting variables from the $_POST global.
//Make sure to post form start/stop OUTSIDE of this function...
//It's not meant to be a one size fits all function!
echo NAME: . $name . BR;
echo MESSAGE: . $message . BR;
echo POST: . $_POST . BR;

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
Check the error messages -- since you're passing in $startYear as a
scalar below, you shouldn't be able to access $_POST as an
associative array.
ini_set(display_errors, 1);
error_reporting(-1);
were both on and were not complaining about anything...
$sticky = $_POST[{$name}];
echo STICKY: . $sticky;

You're setting $startYear as a scalar value here.
$optionYear = array(2010 = 2010, 2011 = 2011, 2012 =
2012, 2013 = 2013, 2014 = 2014);
ddbYear(startYear, Select Year, $startYear, $optionYear);
And passing it in to the $_POST variable in your function. Then you
treat the $_POST variable as an associative array (seemingly much
like the global $_POST array).
?
The output I'm getting is:
THESE ARE THE ACTUAL UNPROCESSED (OTHER THEN SEPARATING) VALUES

Again, I will reiterate that taking the name of a global variable
and using it as a parameter in a function is a bad idea. It can be
done, and my in some cases have some uses, but I don't think the way
you're using it is a good idea, and looks wrong to me as well.
Turns out it was a conflict with the $_POST global.. Or my
misunderstanding inside the functions... I changed that to another
name and now it works fine...
Thanks Tamara!

[PHP] Procedural Autoloader?
Hey Everyone! Fresh off my problem with functions and arrays I come across something that I can't seem to find currently... The autoloader function that is in PHP 5+ works on classes... But I'm not finding anything that would do the same thing on the procedural end... Such as I have a folder typically called includes in my projects where I place all my function files... I would LOVE to use the autoloader to be able to just load them on demand... But in my quick searching/thinking I haven't found away too... So I thought I would see if anyone had invented that wheel yet before I go and try and do it my self :) I may also have a misunderstanding of how it is supposed to work since I don't truly understand OOP I've always done procedural...

But I'm not finding anything that would do the same thing on the procedural end. I'll start by explaining how it typically works with classes. The Zend Framework is a popular web/application class library. It organizes its classes into packages much like Java, Python, and other languages, where each package is a folder that contains other packages and classes. In Java, packages are a language feature so you have java.util.List which is the fully-qualified name of the List class that lives in the java.util package. PHP doesn't have the notion of packages, though 5.3 introduced namespaces which are similar but different. The autoloader function in PHP takes a class name and locates the file that should define it. In Zend this is done by separating the folder names by underscores, e.g. Zend_Http_Request. The autoloader splits the class name on underscores and looks in registered folders for a folder named Zend, and inside that for another folder named Http, and inside that for a file named Request.php. Zend's autoloader class provides more features such as aliases for folders so ZF would map to Zend. The above is based on the convention of having one class per file. I doubt you'll be doing that for functions, so even if PHP had an autoloading mechanism for functions, you'd still need a way to map from function name to file name. I suppose you could do the same as above but drop the final name element when looking for the file. For example, the function math_trig_cos() would map to the function cos() defined in math/trig.php. But it's all academic because PHP does not support such a feature. You could probably create a PHP extension if you wanna roll up your sleeves and get dirty in C. :) David

That's not going to be economical or allow him to autoload,
though, because the autoloader is called when the class is
instantiated. Prune could instantiate it thusly:
?php
$foo = new IWishTheseFunctionsWereOOInstead();
firstProceeduralFunc(); // [sic]
?
but it would be just as simple to do:
?php
require dirname(__FILE__).'/includes/function.php';
firstProceeduralFunc(); // [sic, again]

Not to mention that it has nothing to do with a procedural autoloader.
Autoloading takes place if you try to instantiate an object of a class
that PHP doesn't know about (yet). There is no such thing for
functions. Either refactor your code so you don't have this problem
(The Way To Go [tm]) or make an extension. End of discussion.

Re: [PHP] Procedural Autoloader?
The simplest solution would be to move those functions into static methods
of classes. Place one class in each file to organize your functions and use
an autoloader to load the classes. You don't need to instantiate the class
to use the autoloader--just reference it statically:
// library/Math.php
class Math {
const PI = 3.14159;
public static function sin($radians) {...}
}
...
$x = $radius * Math::cos(Math::PI * 0.5);

Interacting with the shell using backticks, exec(), passthru(), et al, is passed verbatim to the command line configured with the server's user:group CLI environment. Generally, when passing arguments, you should escapeshellarg() the arguments. And because the files were misnamed, that means they didn't exist. You knew which files you wanted, and to you, it was simple but the computer didn't know it, and when it looked for the files you wanted, they didn't exist. -- /Daniel P.

The simplest solution would be to move those functions into static methods
of classes. Place one class in each file to organize your functions and use
an autoloader to load the classes. You don't need to instantiate the class
to use the autoloader--just reference it statically:
// library/Math.php
class Math {
const PI = 3.14159;
public static function sin($radians) {...}
}
...
$x = $radius * Math::cos(Math::PI * 0.5);

Would it be overboard to use a namespace? Aren't namespaces handled by
the autoloader? If not autoload(), how about spl_autoloading?

[PHP] rewriteTextLinks.php - make URLs in plain text clickable
I'm posting this in the hopes that it will be of some use to someone. I've put together a little regex function for finding and transforming links in blocks of plain text into clickable links while applying some heuristics to handle the more common edge cases. Unlike so many solutions I've found online this one handles more edge cases including periods and commas at the end, surrounding parentheses, trailing periods on only the domain part, etc. etc. http://formvista.com/fv-b-12-170/rewriteTextLinks-a-function-to-make-links-in-blocks-of-text--quot-clickable-quot-.html --- Yermo LamersDTLink, LLC Software Developerhttp://www.dtlink.com http://miles-by-motorcycle.comFor Motorcycle Travellers http://formvista.comEntrepreneurs CMS and Business Platform --- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Even with namespaces, you'd still need to require the files that contain the functions. Plus you'd also need to use the namespace everywhere you use the function because you cannot alias functions--only classes. :( David

Hello Yermo, thanks a lot! I will try this on my project (http://oire.org/) and I'll inform you if I modify it somehow. -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile Twitter: http://twitter.com/m_elensule Facebook: http://facebook.com/menelion - Original message - From: Yermo y...@dtlink.com To: php-general@lists.php.net php-general@lists.php.net Date: Tuesday, November 23, 2010, 1:04:19 AM Subject: [PHP] rewriteTextLinks.php - make URLs in plain text clickable I'm posting this in the hopes that it will be of some use to someone.
