  I have a big giant RTF file. I could convert it to plain text. BUT can
 PHP do it for me?
 
  Hell, even M$ can't do it!
 
  I have tons of old Word RFT files that were orphaned by the installation
 of a newer of M$ Word. The upgrade actually deleted older versions of Word
 and then would not open the older files because of security concerns (they
 were create by an older version, duh). It was a nightmare -- as a result, I
 lost years of business correspondence. Now I make z text version of every
 document I write.
 
  If I wanted to get those old files back, I will have to set up an older
 computer, reinstall the older version of Word and then transfer those
 files, convert them to text, and bring them back. That's a lot of work
 because I trusted M$ to respect older files, but they don't. In short,
 don't trust M$.
 
  Cheers,
 
  tedd
 

 Either they don't have respect to the older files, or they just don't
 understand how the format works..
 The same goes for opening '97-'03 files in Word 2010 version,
 sometimes it's also all messed up.

 Just a side note tedd, couldn't you just open those RTF files with
 wordpad? IIRC it supports RTF and plain text (even in Win7)

Or Open/Libre Office?

As for the OP, I know you can script Open/Libre Office with python to
do things like batch convert RTF to Text.

Hi,

?php
...
$words = preg_split('/[[:space:]]+/',$mynewstring);

foreach ($words as $word) {
$freq[$word]++;
}

ksort($freq);
print_r ($freq);
?

If I have my terminology right, ksort($freq) sorts the array by the key. 
And that works fine.

But I would also like to sort by value to see which words are more frequent.
There is no |ascending/descending option to ksort?|

Thanks,
John

Hi, all

I most like to use template-engines that does not allow to write
direct PHP code in the template.
This restricts you to split the logic from the displaying code.

Template-engines I know of:
* Smarty
* Twig
* FLUID
* OPT (Open Power Template)

If you want a bigger list, visit wikipedia:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template-Engine#Template-Engines_f.C3.BCr_PHP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_engine_%28web%29#Comparison

What I used most is Twig. For the next project (if it has no
template-engine build in in the system I choose) I'll give OPT a try.
It looks promising ;)

Bye
Simon

I'm still on Smarty2 and we 'maintain' our own copy, but starting a new setup, 
Smarty3 just needs a different style of working if you have used 2 in the past.

[PHP] array.sorting.php

2012-09-04 Thread John Taylor-Johnston

Hi,
Sorting question. http://www.php.net/manual/en/array.sorting.php
I'm using ksort, which sorts like this.
I don't want to use strolower.
Is there a function/switch in one of the sort functions where I could 
get another aphabetical sort?


http://www.php.net/manual/en/array.sorting.php has a lot of options. I,m 
not sure which one I should choose.


This is what I get:

LABRADOR CITY
LACOSTA
LARGE
Labrador

Lacosta

[PHP] PHP CURL JSON POST Firebug

2012-09-04 Thread ioan...@btinternet.com
I am hoping someone can spot what is missing here.  I am getting null 
result from curl-ing a page with json post variables.


I try this url in my Firefox browser -

http://www.targetsite.com/search.php#somevar.someothervar

(#somevar.someothervar are irrelevant, I think, as I get the curl 
variables from Firebug below.)


In Firebug, this shows:

POST http://www.targetsite.com/ajax/search.xml

In Firebug, below this link are tabs for: Headers, Post, Response, XML 
and Cookies.  Post tab shows like:


JSON
VAR1   1
VAR2   2012-09-12
VAR3   null
CACHED []
OPTIONSnull

To prove there is output, the Firebug Response tab shows:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
JSON various JSON encoded stuff /JSON

The above is what I am trying to curl.

My php code:

  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

  //target page from Firebug above:
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 
http://www.targetsite.com/ajax/search.xml;);


  //I was not sure how to represent CACHED [], so set it to null
  $data = array(
VAR1 = 1,
VAR2 = 2012-09-12,
VAR3 = null,
CACHED=null,
OPTIONS=null,
  );
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

  //make the request
  $result = curl_exec($ch);

  //this returns null

Any ideas where to go with this?  Maybe I need to include the Cookies? 
I use the above php and curl functions normally so it's all installed on 
the server.

It might be that the site is using sessions/cookies. Have a look at
the header data with firebug.
Not sure if that's the problem, to find out what's really going on, call
echo curl_error($ch);
after curl_exec to find out what went wrong exactly.
If you still don't know how to proceed, paste the result of the
curl_error call in your reply.

try array_flip(), keep in mind though, that when two words have the
same frequency, one of them will get lost because the keys are
identical.

You can try uksort with a custom compare function.

   $data = array(
 VAR1 = 1,
 VAR2 = 2012-09-12,
 VAR3 = null,
 CACHED=null,
 OPTIONS=null,
   );
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

   //make the request
   $result = curl_exec($ch);

   //this returns null

Any ideas where to go with this?  Maybe I need to include the Cookies? I use
the above php and curl functions normally so it's all installed on the
server.

It might be that the site is using sessions/cookies. Have a look at
the header data with firebug.
Not sure if that's the problem, to find out what's really going on, call
echo curl_error($ch);
after curl_exec to find out what went wrong exactly.
If you still don't know how to proceed, paste the result of the
curl_error call in your reply.

I added the cookies to the post array.  I changed php array to 
CACHED=array() for the JSON CACHED:[], and corrected php's null to 
NULL.  It is not returning any error.  The browser was showing 'resource 
not present' before I added the cookies to the post array, now it just 
returns null $result.  Looks like I am transcribing something incorrectly.

Well, for a different take on templating, my web framework is
basically just a combination of input validation and output mechanisms
(templating.) The library takes a functional programming approach in
terms of architecture.

Here's an example of the markup:
http://nephtaliproject.com/documentation/markup/

Page output regions are broken up into pipes, and if one pipe errors
out, it does not impact the other output regions.

It does other things, too (config settings, debugging output, avoid
prompts on back clicks after posting data, convenient PDO wrappers,
etc.), but at its core, it's really a templating framework with input
validation capabilities.

 You can try uksort with a custom compare function.

 - Matijn


 Custom compare function?

Yes, for example:
function insensitive_uksort($a,$b) {
return strtolower($a)strtolower($b);
}

or use a function like strnatcasecmp.

you can then call
uksort($array, insensitive_uksort);
or
uksort($array, strnatcasecmp);
