[PHP] ip2long and ipv6
My dev and test tools are windows based and the apps deployed on linux, and it's been working well. But moving to win7 created problems because it uses ipv6 and code for ratings is for ipv4. Specifically, using ip2long to save the ip as an int (to prevent duplicate votes) doesn't work in test (win7/php5.3). I've got a quick-n-dirty workaround (::1 converted to 0) but it seemed a good opportunity to add code to handle ipv6 properly when it's deployed. I found a reference to do that in the help (http://php.net/manual/en/function.ip2long.php), but the referenced site no longer exists. I also found a page where Daniel Brown mentions that user notes referencing external sites are normally removed (http://www.lmpx.com/nav/article.php/news.php.net/php.notes/177158/read/inde x.html) but that the note added enough value to make an exception. I'd be very grateful if anyone could please point me to any other record of this code, or could post it if they have a copy. Also, I'm assuming the code returns 2 ints because of the size of ipv6, and it's fine to change my code to store that, but I'd like to know if there's a standard way to store ip addresses in sql for quick lookup?

But then the second foreach is doing a straight assignment to the $row variable, but $row is a reference to the final element.

Exactly, and the fact that it shows 1, 2, 2 in the second loop adds more confusion, but it makes sense. In the second loop, it assigns the indexed row value into the third row and displays it. Thus it displays row 1, row 2, and then ... row 3, but row 3 is the one that keeps getting overwritten. And in the third iteration, it overwrites the third row with the third row which currently holds what was in row 2. The moral is always unset the iterator variable when doing foreach with a reference, like the manual says. :) While you can certainly follow the above advice, in my view it's dangerous to have these two loops a) reuse the same variable name for a different purpose and b) exist in the same scope. More and more I find myself dropping the subtle tricks I've learned over the years in favor of writing code that is as easy to understand as possible. Code gets read and modified a lot more than it gets written, and all those tricks just trip up more junior teammates--and often even myself. :) David

This goes to show that references can be a recipe for subtle bugs to creep in, so best to isolate them as much as possible to their own convention. If the convention is followed, it should eliminate the possibility of this bug, even if the unset is left out. Tim

I have an init file that I include in every site that contains a few
routines I use over and over. One such is:
function instrument($legend, $var)
{
print $legend . br/\n;;
print prebr/\n;
print_r($var);
print /prebr/\n;
}
I use this routine wherever I want to see what's going on. It formats
(particularly) array output so that I can read it, instead of having
everything look like JSON, which is much harder to read.
Feel free to use the above yourself as needed.

Re: [PHP] Variable Troubleshooting Code
Just to share, a Mr. Harkness forwarded me a consolidated version of my
code.. basically substituting the innards for:
if (!isset($pmatch) || substr($key,0,strlen($pmatch)) == $pmatch) {
print $key = $valuebr /;
}
