How do you strip all tags, but leave some tags (such as b, i, and u -- I know these are depreciated, but my client wants them anyway). From the manual: allowable_tags You can use the optional second parameter to specify tags which should not be stripped. Note: HTML comments and PHP tags are also stripped. This is hardcoded and can not be changed with allowable_tags. Note: This parameter should not contain whitespace. strip_tags() sees a tag as a case-insensitive string between and the first whitespace or .

Re: [PHP] Expected behaviour or bug?

Hello list, I have a little question with PHP's internal working. I've
managed to reduce the test to the following lines:
$globalVariable = 'i am a global variable';
function testFunction() {
global $globalVariable;
unset($globalVariable);
}
testFunction();
if(isset($globalVariable)) {
var_dump('global variable IS set');
} else {
var_dump('global variable is NOT set');
}
When executing the above test, you will get printed that the global variable
is set, despite unsetting it in the function. Is it really the intention to
unset a global variable inside a function locally or have I just happen to
found a little bug?

Sometimes, it helps reading the manual...

If a globalized variable is unset() inside of a function, only the local
variable is destroyed. The variable in the calling environment will retain the
same value as before unset() was called.

To unset() a global variable inside of a function, then use the$GLOBALS array

You could use substr to retrieve the rest of the string and just start
over (do it in a while loop to catch all).
Though, it's probably not really efficient if you have long strings.
You'd be better off with preg_match. You can do it all with a single
line of code, albeit that regex takes quite some time to figure out if
not experienced.

My approach would be to split the hole text into smaller chunks (with e.g.
explode()) and extract the interesting parts with a regular expression. Maybe
this will give you some ideas:
$chunks = explode(-30-, $mystring);
foreach($chunks as $chunk) {
preg_match_all(/News Releases\n(.+)/s, $chunk, $matches);
var_dump($matches[1]);
}
The regex matches all text between News Releases and the end of the chunk.

Have you read up on 'preg_match_all' in the manual? What makes you think that
preg_match_all returns strings? $matches[1], in the above case contains an
array with all matches from the parenthesized subpattern, which is (.+).
This is ugly. How can I clean this up like this?
$mynewarray= array {
[0]= Residential Fire Determined to be Accidental in Nature ...
[1]= Arrest Made in Residential Fire ...
}
Why not add two lines of code within the first loop?
$chunks = explode(-30-, $mystring);
foreach($chunks as $chunk) {
preg_match_all(/News Releases\n(.+)/s, $chunk, $matches);
foreach($matches[1] as $matched_text_line) {
$mynewarray[] = $matched_text_line;

Hi Adam.
Although I've never worked with PUT/DELETE requests, here are my thoughts.
1) According to the manual, file_get_contents only allows URL's as filenames if
fopen wrappers are enabled. Make sure that this is the case (have a look at
the settings in your php ini file). Do you get any data when changing
'file_get_contents' to e.g. (as found here:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.put-method.php)?
?php
/* PUT data comes in on the stdin stream */
$putdata = fopen(php://input, r);
/* Open a file for writing */
$fp = fopen(myputfile.ext, w);
/* Read the data 1 KB at a time
and write to the file */
while ($data = fread($putdata, 1024))
fwrite($fp, $data);
/* Close the streams */
fclose($fp);
fclose($putdata);
?
2) Have a look in your Appache log files and make sure the client is actually
making a valid PUT request.

[PHP] Using function prototypes in code
In the interest of clarity and maintainability I would like to be able
to write code that makes it clear what kind of arguments a function
expects and what it returns.
This is what I tried:
function integer int_func(string $s) {
// does something like, say, converting five to 5
}
There are two problems:
1 The appearance of a type name before the function name is treated as
a syntax error
2 Even if I forget about declaring the return type and code it instead
as
function int_func(string $s) {
...
}
I get a run-time error when I call the function with a string. (eg
$var = int_func(five);) The error message saysCatchable fatal
error: Argument 1 passed to int_func() must be an instance of string,
string given.
It seems that basic data types cannot be specified in ths way although
(intstances of) classes can. I have successfully used the technique to
catch run-time errors of wrong object types when testing, but am
surprised that I can't use it to trap unexpected basic types - or at
least to document what is expected.
To confuse me a bit further, I can't find a definitive list of the
basic type names. For example, is it integer or int?

Although I never worked with SOAP so far, at least when it comes to
XML namespaces, you need to explicitly set those somewhere in your
code before use (which you haven't). Have you asked Google or even
looked at the MAN pages? After two minutes of googling, I found this.
From the SOAP man page:

If you want to build a Soap Server for Microsoft Office's client (like
Microsoft Office Research Service) you need to rewrite SOAP's
namespaces :
?php
// (...)
$server = new SoapServer($wsdl, array('uri' = $uri, 'classmap' =
$classmap));
$server-setClass($class);
function callback($buffer)
{
$s = array('ns1:RegistrationResponse', 'ns1:', 'xmlns:ns1=urn:Microsoft.Search
');
$r = array('RegistrationResponse xmlns=urn:Microsoft.Search',
'', '');
return (str_replace($s, $r, $buffer));
}
ob_start('callback');
$server-handle();
ob_end_flush();
// (...)
?
There are a complete example at this URL :

I am sure there are other examples too.

From there, you can use the timestamp how you wish.

It's a *nix timestamp number. Give it to date() this way:

This involves reading post input and is many cases converting it to an integer. Damn I feel dumb. The search app wasn't working, so I did what I often do when troubleshooting crap - I put a die($variable) at various points to see if the variable is what it is suppose to be. I kept getting blank returns from die after the conversion from a post string to an integer. I looked in the apache logs, system logs, I even tried rebooting - I couldn't figure why the smurf the variable wasn't converting to integer. I even turned off eaccelerator in case that was causing it, though it never has given me issue before (except once when I was doing something in a really shoddy way - cleaned up my method and it behaved) After several hours contemplating if I had bad RAM, an issue with the CPU, verifying my RPMs were good, wondering why I wasn't getting anything in the logs, it dawned on me. If variable is an integer, die($var) returns nothing and is suppose to return nothing, it takes a string as an argument to echo on death - die($var) is what I wanted. I need sleep.

I have a tutor table (showing all the tutors), a course table (showing all the courses), and a course-to-tutor table (showing all the instances of what tutor teaches what course). Okay, everything works. Whenever I want to find out what courses a specific tutor teaches OR what tutors teach a specific course, I simply search the course-to-tutor table and bingo out pops the answer. Now, how do you handle the situation when a tutor quits or when a course is no longer offered? If I search the course-to-tutor table for all the tutors who teach a course and find a tutor who is no longer there OR search the course-to-tutor table for all the courses a tutor teaches and find a course that is no longer offered, how do you handle the record? I realize that if either search turns up nothing, I can check for that situation and then handle it accordingly. But my question is more specifically, in the event of a tutor quilting OR removing a course from the curriculum, what do you do about the course-to-tutor orphaned record? As I see it, my choices are to a) ignore the orphaned record or b) delete the orphaned record. If I ignore the record, then the database grows with orphaned records and searches are slowed. If I delete the orphaned record, then the problem is solved, right? I just want to get a consensus of how you people normally handle it. Do any of you see in danger in deleting an orphaned record? tedd, I believe relational integrity can solve your problem. In MySQL (and maybe MSSQL, but I am less versed with that product) you should be able to put a CASCADE option on the DELETE action for your tutor table so that when a record is deleted, its associated record in tutors-to-courses is also deleted. I'm assuming you would want to do the same for removing a record in tutors-to-courses when a course is removed (but not remove the tutor, the same as you do not remove the course itself when the tutor is deleted). I suppose you could also do it yourself with PHP code when a failed link is turned up, but why bother separating DB logic from the DB itself? :) HTH, // Todd I agree with todd. Set up the relationship so that when a record in one of the two master tables is deleted the delete cascades to the linked table. One to many forced update/delete I think it's called if you want to do a search on it. Frank -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Well, I guess I *did* think of a solution, it just happens that PHP doesn't do the logical thing(tm) ;-) I would hope the PHP developers would implement this idea for a future version. The concept is simple, just specify which parameters in the function call you want to change and leave the others as their default. I've added it here: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47331 with comments about similar/related bugs. Feel free to vote on this. I think it's a necessary addition to the language and often a source of frustration for me in large projects especially where functions get older and older and more parameters are needed to maintain backwards compatibility yet get new functionality too. Just tell 'em that .NET already has it; that'll light a fire under them! :D C# can do function calls like: FunctionName(VariableName:=Value); I wholeheartedly prefer PHP to .NET for most things... but you've got to admit--that's a pretty slick feature.

There you go again. What's technically correct?
hiya tedd,
you mean to ask not technically correct ... I plead
that it's his statement that is not technically correct.
1. php does a soft comparison ('==' rather than '===') so the
results of each case expression is auto-cast to a boolean
(in the case of switch'ing on TRUE), ergo there is no 'as long',
statements will always resolve to a boolean ... only they may not
do it in a way that is readily understood by everyone.
2. the php engine specifically allows for 'complex expression'
cases testing against a boolean switch value ... not best practice
according to some but very much technically correct according to
the php implementation.
Good explanation -- I think the drum he's beating is that some of use the
switch without actually using the main expression within the control, such
as:
switch($who_cares)
{
case $a = $b:
// do something
break;
case $a 0:
// do something else
break;
case $a 0:
// do something elser
break;
}
The control works.
However to him, technically correct means:
switch($a)
{
case 0:
// do something
break;
case 1:
// do something else
break;
case 2:
// do something elser
break;
}
That's what I think he's advocating.
Cheers,
tedd

Hi,
I have a code snippet here as in the following:
//Switch statements between the four options
switch($string) {
case :
$string= NOT book.author='All';
break;
default:
$string= $string . AND NOT book.author='All';
break;
}
This code does work, but I am wondering if it is possible in the switch
statement clauses for me to do something like case does not equal to a
certain author name if I don't want $string with that content to be
processed. or, do I always use default in this case?
Thanks in advance.

[PHP] validating directory and file name with preg_match

[PHP] Re: New to PHP question
Don Collier dcoll...@collierclan.com wrote in message news:4980ac7e.2080...@collierclan.com... I am just learning PHP from the O'Reilly Learning PHP 5 book and I have a question regarding the formatting of text. Actually it is a couple of questions. First, when I use the \n and run the script from the command line it works great. When I run the same code in a browser it does not put the newline in and the text runs together. I know that I can use br/ to do the same thing, but why is it this way? The second question is closely related to the first. When formatting text using printf the padding works great when running from the command line but not at all when in a browser. Here is the code that I am working with: ?php $hamburger = 4.95; $chocmilk = 1.95; $cola = .85; $subtotal = (2 * $hamburger) + $chocmilk + $cola; $tax = $subtotal * .075; $tip = $subtotal * .16; $total = $subtotal + $tip + $tax; print Welcome to Chez Don.\n; print Here is your receipt:\n; print \n; printf(%1d %9s \$%.2f\n, 2, 'Hamburger', ($hamburger * 2)); printf(%1d %9s \$%.2f\n, 1, 'Milkshake', 1.95); printf(%1d %9s \$%.2f\n, 1, 'Soda', .85); printf(%25s: \$%.2f\n,'Subtotal', $subtotal); printf(%25s: \$%.2f\n, 'Tax', $tax); printf(%25s: \$%.2f\n, 'Tip', $tip); printf(%25s: \$%.2f\n, 'Total', $total); ? Thanks for the help everyone. It has specifically to do with how the browser renders the page. part of the spec for rendering is that newlines are ignored, and the only way to get a line to break in a browser window is with the use of br. As for the padding this is the same issue. In Browswer rendering all white space except the first one is ignored, and you have to use nbsp; for aditionall spaces. ie: 3 space would be ' nbsp; ' or 'nbsp; nbsp;' Hope that helps!

I started with the visual series of books just to get the hang of the rudimentry language, and then went right to the online php manual. www. devguru. com isn't bad, but tends to be a bit sparse on explinations. If you are familliar with any programming language google is your friend. php is pretty close to c for ease of refference so googling for like 'switch php' brings up loads of examples and refs. I still don't know anything about this pear, or other frameworks they speak of on here, but I'm sure I will learn it in time. :) Personally I think French art from the 1500's was better any way.

yeah, id try call_user_func_array(),
omit the line to create a string out of the $params, then merge the later

$check = call_user_func_array('mysqli_stmt_bind_param',

something like that i think should do the trick.

Thanks Nathan!
Just to make sure I understand call_user_func_array, and how it opperates.
It's first paramer is the name of the function...any function, which is part
of what made it so confusing to me...and the second paramter is an array
that will be used to populate the the parameters of the called function as a
comma seperated list.
Please tell me if I got any of that wrong. This is how I learn!

Paul M Foster pa...@quillandmouse.com wrote in message news:20090120151606.gu18...@quillandmouse.com... I'd like a side check on what I'm doing to print on our internal network. We have an internal server/site which uses PHP code I've written to run the business-- invoicing, A/P, inventory, etc. Some things, like invoices and reports, need to be printed. Now remember, the code is on the server, and we access it from our client machines on our desks. When we print, we do so to our local printers, attached to the client machines. So the best way I could think of to making printing work was to generate PDFs of whatever needs to be printed, dump the PDF on the server, and provide a link to the PDF on the web page. The user clicks on the generated PDF, and his/her browser opens up Acrobat or xpdf, and prints from that application to their local machine. Is that a reasonable way to implement this? Any better ideas? Paul -- Paul M. Foster I'm using fpdf to generate a pdf that is displayed in a seperate window for review prior to printing...sort of like a print preveiw.

If you're going to use PHP in the middle of a bunch of HTML, then only

The contents of the PHP $name variable can't be seen by the HTML, which
is why you need to enclose it in a little PHP island. Naturally, if
you're going to put PHP code in the middle of a HTML page, make the
extension PHP. Otherwise, Apache will not interpret the PHP code as PHP

And a switch is a lot neater for dealing with these sorts of things. I
tend never to use if...elseif's at all, and use switches. Like Rob said,
you can fall into further cases below, and it's very simple to add more
at a later date. There is one place where an if...elseif would work and
a switch could not, and that is where you were performing lots of
different logic tests on different variables. Aside from that, I think
any speed benefit one would have over the other would be marginal.

Wow...so if I read that right. the only difference in the root code of PHP
is that the pre compiled code is easier to read. PHP actually generates the
If...elseif...elseif... structure any way when it compiles the script.

Why not put the function in a functions include and use a require_once()

You could do that, but I prefer to just keep one file in my root, and call
it when I need it. It's not meant to stay there as it's only for bug

It's a preference thing I guess.

that needs to be quoted:

otherwise php will generate an E_NOTICE (I think) looking for a constant

Re: [PHP] [SOLVED] Re: can a session be used in a query?
if you want to know what is happening...I just did the research...the while
statment runs untill the condition is false. This means that, this your
case,
$row = false. We were getting results in the loop becuase that never
happened while it was looping, but to end the loop it proccessed $row =
false and then quit setting $row = for the rest of the program.
if you are expecting more than one row as a result set you may want to think
about outputing the result to an array like this
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $row['AddEditAdmin']; //to print out the value of column
'var1' for each record
$rowset[] = $row;
}
}else{
echo 'No records found.';
}
this will give you a zero enum array of all the returned records.
they could be accessed with $rowset[n][column name] anywhere in the code.
Hope that helps! I know I learned from it.

I'm working in the same kind of environment.
Make sure you are single quoting string data in MySQL
as in
$query = SELECT * FROM admin WHERE UserName = ' . $_SESSION['user'] . '
;
Thats a single quote, double quote, dot, session var, dot, double quote,
single quote
I wrote that out because I always have a hard time seeing the two types of
quotes so close together in code.

[PHP] Re: can a session be used in a query?
One other thought. If you are getting a blank page with no errors or out
put at all, I've noticed that I somtimes have to get the page to load
successfully before the web server will dish out the error.
What I normally do is upload a blank php page with the same name as the one
I am working on, load it up, and then upload the page with all the code and
refresh.
I never really looked into why this was, but it's not that big of a hassle
for me. *shrug*

Well I am def. further along, the query is working, I can echo fields in
the $row and get the results but when I try and use this:
?php
if ($row['AddEditAdmin'] == 'YES') {
?
to sort out what menu items to load it just doesn't do its job.
I would say do this to see if what is in the return is what you are
expecting
foreach($row as $key=$value){
echo $key , ': ' , $value , 'br';
};
just to make sure that the value is yes, and not 1 or true or something
like that.

So what I'm taking away from this is that I can index a text column, but that is relatively new. Based on experience with technology I'm going to guess it's not a very efficient index or search function yet. CHAR seems to be well entrenched, and the favorite for any column I may need to search against. I just need to be warry of the size limits and account for them in my program and data entry.

I know this isn't a mysql news group, but since I am using php for the interaction it seemed like the place to ask. Thanks in advance, and have a great day! char: the space required for the length of the field is allocated for each row no matter how much of it is used. varchar: only the space required for the content of the field is allocated per row but these fields are limited to 255 chars (IIRC) in length. text: for all intents and purposes these have unlimited length (4GBish IIRC). There is a page in the MySQL manual that explains all of the data formats. Google for mysql data formats and you'll likely get it. It's generally worth mentioning that you can usually index char or varchar, but not text.

[PHP] Question on if() priorities
I can't seem to find a reference to this in the manual, but is there an order of precedence for and or xor in an if statement? Kind of like PPMDAS or polish notation for math (PPMDAS = Powers. Parenthacies. Multiplication...) I ask because this seems to be working for me, but I want to make sure it is doing what I think it is. (code follows) if((($FILTERED['cod1'] == 0) or ($FILTERED['cod1'] == 1)) and (($FILTERED['cod2'] == 0) or ($FILTERED['cod2'] == 2)) and (($FILTERED['cod3'] == 0) or ($FILTERED['cod3'] == 4))) (end code) which is if either of the first set, and either of the second set, and either of the third set is true return true.

Re: [PHP] Waste of storage space? [follow-up]

If Windows you have already lost since the cluster size of e.g. Windows 2003 is 32 kByte or 64 kByte... If Linux, you can setup the partitoin to use a blocksize of 1, 2, 4 or 8 kByte. I asume you are using Linux and two or three sentences per text can not realy large... even 2 kByte is already big for it. I have arround 140 million files on one of my storage server (38 TByte) with a size of some kBytes up to a half GByte and I have set the blocksize to 4 kByte... Calculating the wasted space give me arround 340 GByte... Reducing the blocksize to 2 kByte the wasted space is only 170 GBYte. But I give a f..k on it... Diskspace is cheap (even using 300 GByte SCSI drives) and I realy do not like to reinitialize 10 Raid-5 volumes (each 16 HDD) with 3900 GBytes of usable space I agree, disk space is cheap. And to be honest, I am now convinced that storage space really isn't a serious issue. So, to sum up. Previously I was working with the idea to store both old and new values. But, thanks to what Bastien Koert suggested earlier, the history table now stores changes (=new text) only. I think that this is much more sleek to work with. Besides that, before recording something to the history table, I do some filtering on the new text which means that minor changes are walked over.

Fwd: [PHP] Waste of storage space?
Från: Yeti [EMAIL PROTECTED] Datum: ti 28 okt 2008 23.07.11 GMT+01:00 Till: Frank Arensmeier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ämne: Re: [PHP] Waste of storage space? Hej, why not do a simple strlen() before comparison? Like if strlen (or mb_strlen()) is less than 50 do not serialize/ compare. Or Like levenchtein(), You could do : ?php (strlen($string2) - similar_text($string,$string2)) ? to see how much characters have been changed. Thank you for your respons. I have thought of such a sorting mechanism too. But on the other hand, the biggest drawback would be that even minor changes that might be really important could get lost. And my goal is to really keep track on everything my users do. And, in the long run, the problem with the database that eventually could/will grow very large in size, is not solved. //frank ..please keep responses on list.

My idea was to compare the old with the new text with help of the TextDiff class. I would then grab the array containing the changes from TextDiff, serialize it and store this data into the db. The problem is that this is every thing else but efficient when it comes to smaller text (the serialized array holding the changes was actually larger than the two texts combined). What happens when you want to restore a particular version? You have to go through each edition and apply patches. Could get very messy. Not only that. What would happen if they update TextDiff and all stored serialized arrays got obsolete? The system is aimed to store documents for several years to come. Besides that, doing some advanced search in the history/revision table would be very difficult. I'd say you're on the right track in just storing each version. 2) Do some kind of compression on the text to be stored. However, it seems that the build-in compression functions from PHP5 are more efficient when it comes to large texts. All compression techniques (in or out of php) will work better on more text. I noticed that too. //frank -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

In short, I am working on a system that allows me to keep track of changes to a large amount of short texts (a couple of thousand text snippets, two or three sentences per text). All text is stored in a database. As soon as a user changes some text (insert, delete, update), this action is recorded. Look at an article on e.g. Wikipedia and click History. This is more or less what I am trying to accomplish. Right now, my history class that takes care of all changes, is working pretty much as I want. The thing is that both the original text and the altered text is stored in the database every time the text is changed. My concern is that this will eventually evolve into a serious problem regarding amount of storage and performance. So, I am looking for a more efficient way to store all changes. Ideas I have come up with so far are: 1) Store the delta (=the actual change) of a text change. This could be done by utilizing the Pear package TextDiff.

I notice that Mediawiki also stores complete articles in the db (every time an article is updated, the hole article is stored in the database). ds. Hi Frank, why don't you simply make use of systems specifically designed for such things. eg. CVS or SVN (subversion.tigris.org). You could pretty easily tie it in with your application. It's quite compact, and pretty fast too. - Tul Hi Tul. I think would be an idea worth investigating a little bit more. But what about performance? I am really not that familiar with version control systems like CVS etc. Let's say there are 30 different text snippets with 10 recorded changes each. And I want to see what changes users have made to those snippets. That would be 300 calls to the (filesystem based) CVS system. Would that be overheat? Besides that, in the database I am able to store more information about those recorded changes. E.g. the user ID and the time is currently stored as well. Can this be done with CVS as well? /frank -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
