[PHP] Passing an undetermined amount of arguments by reference
Greetings list.
Say I have a function that escapes a string before being passed to MySQL
like so:
function escape($id, $string)
{
$string = mysql_real_escape_string($string, $id);
}
I'm passing $string as a reference so I don't have to reassign it like so:
$foo = escape($id, $foo);
Simply calling
escape($id, $foo);
works just fine.
How can I do this if I have a variable number of arguments? I know I
can use func_get_args(), func_num_args() and so forth to get the
arguments but can I still pass by reference?
It'd be so much easier to do
escape($id, $a, $b, $c, $d);
Than
$a = escape($id, a);
and so forth.
Does this make sense? Is it possible to do?
Thanks in advance,
Jay

What about something like (untested):
list($id, $a, $b, $c, $d) = escape($id, $a, $b, $c, $d);
And then instead of altering the actual values in your function by using
pass-by-reference, you can just return an array of elements instead.

Yeah, I had considered doing it that way as well. I just wanted to
remove the need to type each variable twice. It gets to be a pain when
you have longer variable names.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Use an array as an alternate method of sending/returning data to the second
argument.
function escape($id, $data) {
if ( is_array($data) ) {
foreach ( $data AS $k = $v ) {
escape($id, $v);
$data[$k] = $v;
}
} else {
$data = mysql_real_escape_string($data, $id);
}
}
This would handle any number of nested arrays/datasets.
Hope it helps.
Will that work properly?
$a = 'hello';
$b = sup;
$c = \\hola';
$d = array($a, $b, $c);
escape($id, $d);

I would try: $d = compact('a', 'b', 'c');
What is the difference? Please excuse my naivety. :)

[PHP] MySQL class. Thoughts?
This is a MySQL class I use and I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on
how/if I can improve it. This is for MySQL only. I don't need to make
it compatible with other databases. I'm curious what you all think.
Thanks,
Jay
Class:

// Standard MySQL class
class do_mysql
{
// Constructor
function __construct()
{
$this-do_mysql();
}
// Destructor

$this-login = '';
$this-pass = '';

or die('Could not connect to the database.');
} // End do_mysql
// Functions
function close()
{

{
mysql_close($this-link);
unset($this-link);
}
} // End close
function fetch_array()

Re: [PHP] MySQL class. Thoughts?
Good ideas guys. The input is much appreciated.
Jochem (and anyone else, I guess), as I am not 100% versed with
Exceptions, the php5 version you suggested, are those Exceptions able to
be handled outside the class?
Do I need my try block to be within the class block, or can I have the
try block be in my normal code where I actually instantiate the class?
This:
class blah
{
try { stuff } catch (exception) { more stuff }
}
$i = new blah()
or can I do this:
class blah
{
do some stuff (no try/catch blocks here)
throw an exception
}
try
{
$i = new blah();
more stuff
}
catch (exception) { even more stuff }
Thanks,
Jay

Re: [PHP] MySQL class. Thoughts?
I know it's very OO-y to use exceptions, but I hate them. They're like setjmp/longjmp calls in C, and they're a really headache to deal with. If you don't use default or predone handlers, you have to put all kinds of try/catch blocks around everything. They make for non-linear execution, and I prefer my code to execute in a linear fashion. Paul My thoughts exactly. What do I gain by using a try/catch that I lose by using if/else or similar?

[PHP] Binary file copy
Greetings list!
Say I want to copy a jpg from a remote server onto mine, using PHP.
Right now, my script opens a socket to the remote server, and opens the
image file. It copies its contents into a dummy variable, opens a new
file on my server, and dumps the contents of the dummy variable into the
new file.
For reasons I cannot figure out, it is not working the way I want.
Rather than display the image, I get an nothing when opening it in an
image viewer.
Code follows:
--
?php
$ip = '10.10.10.3';
$port = '80';
$h = @fsockopen($ip, $port, $err, $str, 5);
if ($h)
{
// Get current image
$h = @fsockopen($ip, $port, $err, $str, 5);
$out = GET /record/current.jpg HTTP/1.1\r\n;
$out .= Host: $ip\r\n;
$out .= Connection: Close\r\n\r\n;
fputs($h, $out, strlen($out));
$data = '';
while (!feof($h))
{
$data .= fgets($h, 128);
}
fclose($h);
// Store to file
$f = fopen('/path/test.jpg', wb);
if ($f)
{
fwrite($f, $data, strlen($data));
fclose($f);
}
else
{
die('cannot open file for writing');
}
}
else
{
die('cannot contact server');
}
?
-
I have trimmed the code some, and omitted the part where I remove the
HTTP headers and other information I do not need.
Why isn't this working for me?
Thanks in advance,
Jay

[PHP] Re: Binary file copy
in the response you'll be getting the raw http response (including
headers); so you're saving them as well thus not a valid image file.
can't see why:
$image = file_get_contents('http://10.10.10.3/record/current.jpg');
wouldn't work for you..
regardless though if you are using sockets, be sure to trim of that raw
http response - oh and look out for chunked or encoded file transfer as
well as you'll need to decode etc etc.. (large can of worms - use an
http transport class)
file_get_contents worked beautifully. Thanks for the suggestion!

The email client is always Outlook 2003 on XP of various flavors. I set up a copy of Outlook 2003 and 2007 to test and I see the messages just fine. Unfortunately this makes it quite hard to troubleshoot. Should I just bite the bullet and iconv from utf8 to latin1? Any other thoughts?

Why is it that it's not ok to top post, but it's perfectly fine to not subscribe to the list? It's extremely rude and arrogant to post to the list and expect people to respond to you personally.

If they can't be bothered to subscribe to see my reply, tough cookies. The question went to the list; the response went to the list. (I feel just fine about this, btw. Thank you for your concern.) I do not believe either my email client or my email server are improperly configured. When you reply all, you are posting to a newsgroup and to an email address -- two completely separate entities. I don't think it's out of the ordinary to expect that I would get multiple copies of the same message in that instance. All that said, it's a matter of group etiquette to do things one way over another (ex: top-posting). Maybe the reply-all etiquette should be re-addressed?

Hi gang:
Apparently, there's something going on here that I don't understand --
this happens far too often these days.
Here's a print_r($_SESSION); of the session arrays I'm using:
[user_id] = Array
(
[0] = 6156
[1] = 7030
[2] = 656
)
[first_name] = Array
(
[0] = Diane
[1] = Fred
[2] = Helen
)
[last_name] = Array
(
[0] = Cable
[1] = Cago
[2] = Cahalan
The following is how I tried to access the data contained in the
$_SESSION arrays:
$num_users = count($_SESSION['user_id']);
for ($i = 0; $i $num_users; $i++)
{
$last_name = $_SESSION['last_name'][$i];
$first_name = $_SESSION['first_name'][$i];
echo(p$last_name, $first_name/p);
}
The only thing that came out correct was the first echo. The remaining
echos had no values for $first_name or $last_name.
What's happening here?
Cheers,
tedd
PS: I'm open to other suggestions as to how to do this.
What about:
foreach ($_SESSION['user_id'] as $key = $value)
{
$last = $_SESSION['last_name'][$key];
$first = $_SESSION['first_name'][$key];
echo $last, $first;
}
Disclaimer: have not tested this, but it seemed logical in my head.

often loses.

[PHP] PHP's mail(): proper way to send a 'From' header
Greetings folks. I seem to be having a problem with PHP's mail() function and sending 'From' headers properly. Here's my setup: I have a site I set up for a client that has a form their clients can fill out to submit some data. When the form is submitted, I have PHP gather the data and create the body of an email which is then sent to both the owners of the site and back to the person who submitted the data. Because the server hosts multiple sites, I am sending an additional 'From' header so the email doesn't appear to come from the hostname of the server itself ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Because I did not have a DNS entry for my hostname, the 'domain does not exist' error I'm seeing in the bounce emails is correct. I do not wish to keep a DNS entry for it (I have added one as a temporary fix), as that doesn't fix the 'From' header issue to begin with, so I would appreciate it if you did not make that suggestion. As per PHP's documentation of the mail() function, I am sending the header like so: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am getting bounce emails from certain ISPs (AOL, Roadrunner, some local ISPs) saying the sender's domain does not exist. It seems that either mails are coming from my hostname ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), or those ISPs are reading the additional headers incorrectly. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable. People aren't getting their emails, and the hammer is coming down on me. As far as I know (based on the lack of bounce emails), this worked fine on PHP4, but with our new webserver (running PHP5), I'm experiencing problems. Far as I can tell, the mail() function has not changed between versions. I'm stumped here and need to get this fixed asap. I've tried 'From' and 'FROM', tried a 'Name Here [EMAIL PROTECTED]' format, and tried terminating with double newlines with and without the carriage return. Nothing seems to work. I've even gone so far as to edit php.ini with a default from address, but that doesn't appear to have fixed anything either. Please help.
