Hey guys (and/or gals),

I have heard this question entirely too many times, I think at some point
Rasmus just stopped responding to it. The real reason that PHP is not
threaded has nothing to do with PHP internal or extension thread safety,
the reason is more to the extent that it doesn't make sense to add
threading to PHP, it will only increase code and model complexity and
create more points of failure, but again the reason is not this, the reason
is that it doesn't make sense in PHP's native environment to add threading
in the first place. Natively PHP is summoned by a web server, yes you can
call PHP in CLI, but that's not it's point market, PHP is first and
foremost a server-side language for the web and it is ran by a web server
such as Apache or Nginx or IIS(i wouldn't know why you would use IIS, but
it could be). All of these web servers (maybe with exception of IIS, i
wouldn't know) work pretty much on the same principal, you have the main
process that spawns a bunch of worker threads (this is adjustable in
configuration, but is typically 1 per cpu thread). These threads are what
actually process the requests and call PHP, meaning that if multiple
threads are processing multiple requests, multiple instances of PHP will be
called. This is why adding threading to PHP makes absolutely no sense, why
would you spawn threads in something that is already being called by a
thread? Don't get me wrong, threads spawning other threads is a solution,
but it is a solution on massively parallel architectures, such as the
GPGPUs that can handle over a thousand threads, and it is a solution for an
entirely different problem, namely costly conditional statements; PHP on
the other hand runs on a general purpose processor that already cache
thrashes and runs into issues with instruction pipelines in parallel
execution, adding more threads to it would do nothing for performance (or
make it worse), make for more complex code and introduce new issues, like
for example how do you test threaded code, debugging, messaging, etc, which
will introduce new places where php apps fail, new security concerns, etc,
and I think we are far from having current issues fixed...

Want to parallelize your PHP execution? Learn to love curl_multi :)

In this case, fix the program, not the programming language. Just my $0.02

You're very wrong.

Adding threading doesn't increase complexity at all, the fact is, that 
people are coming up with horrible ways to execute what they should be 
executing in threads. It's 2012, my mobile phone has a dual core 
processor !! All that adding threading does is allow those people 
bending over backwards - using horrible hacks just to do two things at 
once - to do things properly.

Re: [PHP] PHP Email Question

[Joe Jackson]

Hi

I am trying the following snippet as Bostjan  suggested, and an email is
getting sent when I submit the form however in the body of the email I am
getting none of the form data in the body of the email.  All I am getting is
the letter 'z' ?  Also in the from field of the email this is showing as my
email address and not the email address of the user who has sent the form

Any ideas on where I am going wrong with this snippet?  Any advice would be
much appreciated


$msgContent = "Name: ". $values['name'] ."\n";
$msgContent .= "Address: ". $values['address'] ."\n";
$msgContent .= "Telephone: ". $values['telephone'] ."\n";
$msgContent .= "Email Address: ". $values['emailaddress'] ."\n";
$msgContent .= "Message: ". $values['message'] ."\n";

function ProcessForm($values)
{
mail('myemail:domain.com', 'Website Enquiry', $msgContent, "From:
\"{$values['name']}\" <{$values['emailaddress']}>");

 // Replace with actual page or redirect :P
echo "Thank you!Thank
you!";

Re: [PHP] PHP Email Question

[Joe Jackson]

Hi

All I need is in the message body of the email is to include more data from
the form.  At present it only displays the 'message' field value in the body
of the email.  I need to add further information into the email from the
form such as 'address' 'name' and 'telephone number'
When I have tried to add them into the PHP script

 $values['message'], ['name'], ['address'], ['telephonenumber'],

I am getting PHP errors, what would be the correct syntax I would need to
use to get the following form field values into the email body.

I greatly appreciate all your expert advice and help.

[PHP] PHP Email Question

[Joe Jackson]

Hi

Sorry for the simple question but I am trying to get my head around PHP.  I
have a sample PHP script that I am trying to use to send a php powered email
message.  The snippet of code is shown below

mail('em...@address.com', 'Subject', $values['message'], "From:
\"{$values['name']}\" <{$values['emailaddress']}>");

This works fine, but how can I add in other fields to the email that is
recieved?

For example in the form there are fields called, 'emailaddress',
'telephone', 'address' and 'name' which I need to add into the form along
with the message field

Also with the formatting how can I change the format of the email to

Name: $values['name'],
Address: etc
Message:

TIA

Okay, Thanks... appears the problem is that I have foreign language
entities in my HTML... Ugh

I am sure this is not really the most efficient way to do this, but I
tried using the following to get rid of these, but it appears that it
just converts them to this i¿½...

$search = 
explode(",","ç,æ,œ,á,é,í,ó,ú,à,è,ì,ò,ù,ä,ë,ï,ö,ü,ÿ,â,ê,î,ô,û,å,e,i,ø,u");
$replace = 
explode(",","c,ae,oe,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u,y,a,e,i,o,u,a,e,i,o,u");
$decode_string = str_replace($search, $replace,
html_entity_decode($row_rsFeed['full_desc']))

I am going to read up some more on sanitizing HTML

[PHP] Error in Building an XML File

Hello,

I am using PHP to build an XML file, but I keep on getting an XML
error when open the file in Google Chrome.
-
This page contains the following errors:

error on line 30 at column 318: Entity 'iuml' not defined
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.


is this something to do with document encoding?

I am using these as headers for the script

header("content-type:text/xml;charset=utf-8");
header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=google_feed.xml");


Thanks

[PHP] XML RSS installation

[Joe Schoemann]

I previously had my web page hosted on a shared Apache server. The web hosts
installed the PEAR modules on the system for me.

I have now decided to go to Godaddy who have a shared Linux server.

They do not install PEAR modules and I have to do myself.

I found the go-pear.php program and managed to get it to install PEAR, but
the XML_RSS was not included.

I scratched around further and found there is a file called
XML_RSS-0.9.10.tar which I have downloaded to my PC.

I can upload it to my web site with FTP but I don't know where to put it or
what to do with it.

I have been at this for 3 days now and need some help, what must I do now to
get the RSS working. 

 

Yours truly,

[PHP] operators as callbacks?

[Joe]

Is it possible to use a PHP operator as a callback? Suppose I want to add two
arrays elementwise, I want to be able to do something like this:
 array_map('+', $array1, $array2)
but this doesn't work as "+" is an operator and not a function.

I can use the BC library's math functions instead:
 array_map('bcadd', $array1, $array2)
but that is an ugly hack that might break if the library is not available.

I can create an anonymous function:
 array_map(create_function('$a, $b', 'return $a + $b;'), $array1, $array2)
but that seems really unnecessarily verbose.

Is there any simple clean way to do it? Thanks,

Excellent, Jim. Thanks very much for your help.

At the risk of straying too far from the original
subject/call-for-help, is there a way to flag the *first* time the
function runs through a  creation? Though my design doesn't call
for it now, I could see the value of styling the first level
separately than the sub-directories.

Again, thanks very much!

Re: [PHP] Recursive Directory Listing

[Joe Schaeffer]

Thanks, all, for pointing me to the SPL iterators. i've been hunting
around and i've managed to come up with a working script. I know it
could be better, though. I know this is terribly inefficient -- a lot
of manual repetition and no recursion. Here's what I've got,
commenting my concerns:
';
foreach ( $dirs as $dir )
{
// only get dirs, exclude . and ..
// seems like this should be a function...
if (($dir->isDir()) AND ($dir != '.') AND ($dir != '..'))
{   
// begin each qualifying dir with an li
echo '' . $dir;
// don't close the li, check again, one level deeper
// here's where i'm missing recursion, i think...
$subDirs = new DirectoryIterator('./' . $dir .'/'); 

if ($subDirs->valid())
{
// second verse, same as the first...
echo '';
foreach ($subDirs as $subDir)
{
if (($subDir->isDir()) AND ($subDir != 
'.') AND ($subDir !='..'))
{
// i could manually add another 
level check, i guess...?
echo ''. $subDir . '';
}
}
// close second list
echo '';
}
//close first-level item
echo '';   
}   
}
//close master ul
echo '';
?>

this will work for me, but it's bloated, i know. and it's rendering
unnecessary  in the code wherever there isn't a subdirectory (i
can't get a hasChildren() check to work properly. I'd appreciate any
feedback.

I've been referring to the SPL documentation in the manual off
php.net, and the examples at phpro.org. if there are any others out
there, i'd be happy to keep digging!

Well, that makes things much easier (and that should teach me to rely

I'm able to display all the contents of the correct dirs and subdirs,
but I'm struggling with my implementation. Since I'm trying to nest
unordered lists, I can't seem to 'catch' sub-directories to nest it
within their parent  tags (and then close the corresponding 
when necessary. Before I spend time trying to figure out how to chain
the iterators or mine the returned arrays, is it fair to ask if this
approach is even possible?

[PHP] Recursive Directory Listing

[Joe Schaeffer]

New to PHP development, new to the list; searched the archives but
didn't find an answer (or at least nothing i could successfully
adapt).

I have a (readable) directory structure like so:

../navigation
/cats
/dogs
/beagles
/collies
/some/other/dirs/
/horses

I need to display those directories in nested html lists (marked up
with css). Using PHP on the above, I'd like to produce the following
HTML:


cats
dogs



some...



horses


I'm able to display one level deep (cats, dogs, horses), but not nest
the lists accordingly. Since this is for a navigation structure,
obviously I'll have anchors in the  lines. They'll be
formatted like so
href="index.php?section=dogs&chapter=collies&verse=some .

Some details about my environment:
1) no files will be in the /navigation (or sub) dirs, but i'd
(ideally) like to define a depth, to prevent >3-4 levels of
navigation.
2) I can successfully exclude dirs (. and .. and anything else I define)
3) the actual PHP script probably won't be in the /navigation
directory, so I'll need a defined starting path (ie, $root =
/site/docs/includes/navigation/ or somesuch...).
4) no database access (otherwise this whole contraption wouldn't be an issue...)

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Yeah, after reading some about it yesterday and using it on some
sites, I like that it sort of simplifies some things for the end
user... it really fits sites like social networking stuff well.. I am
considering using this for our ecommerce site, it only becomes useful
though for repeat visitors though... which is what I want to make it
easy& convienent for those repeat customers

Re: [PHP] mysql_connect slowness

Hi Waynn!

have you ever tried using

1. sql_cache
SELECT SQL_CACHE * FROM table ..

I use this alot... although you have to have mysql cache enable in the
sql config file... your webhost can tell you if it is on or not

2. make indexes for your tables

here is a good article
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mysql/article.php/1382791
a great admin program to use is Navicat... it's very easy to make your
indexes there...


Hopefully those 2 suggestions speed up things a little! :o) let us
know if it works

[PHP] Making an array from delimited data

[Joe Harman]

I have some data that I pull from a database that is in the following format:

-
Gauge Style: Auto Meter Pro-Comp
Tachometer Usage: Standard
Gauge Series: Analog
Gauge Range: 0-11,000 rpm
Gauge Diameter (in): 5 in.
Gauge Diameter (mm): 127.00mm
Sweep: Full sweep
-

I want the array to end up like this
--
$data['Gauge Style'] = Auto Meter Pro-Comp
$data['Tachometer Usage'] = Standard
$data['Gauge Series'] = 0-11,000 rpm

I know I can use explode on on set of data... but up do you do it line by line?

[PHP] Confused about handling bytes

[Joe Veldhuis]

While I'm sure this is a stupid question and the solution will be 
obvious to everyone here, this is confusing me.


I'm trying to control a device over a serial port using a PHP script, 
and one of the things I need to do is read a 26-byte string from an 
EEPROM, using a command that returns two bytes at a time, and write 
similar strings using a similar command. For example, to read the first 
two bytes of one such string beginning at address 0x484, I would send:


04 84 00 00 BB

Here's the code I've written so far:

$string = 1; //which of 200 strings I want to read
$base = pack("H*",dechex((($string-1)*hexdec(0x1a))+hexdec(0x484))); 
//calculate the base address of the string (the first starts at 0x484)

for($i=0;$i < 13;$i++) { //iterate 13 times (26 bytes / 2 bytes at a time)
dio_write($serial,$base."\x00\x00\xbb",5); //send the command
$output[] = dio_read($serial,1);  // read first byte
$output[] = dio_read($serial,1); // read second byte
$base = pack("H*",dechex(hexdec(bin2hex($base))+2)); //increment address
}

There are two things wrong with this. First, the final line isn't doing 
what it's supposed to. Instead of adding 2 to the value of $base each 
time, It's producing a pattern like this:


0x484, 0x486, 0x73, 0x73, 0x73, 0x488, 0x48a, 0x48c, 0x48e, 0x490, 0x74, 
0x74, 0x74


Second, the format of $base doesn't seem to be handled correctly in line 
4 of the above code. Given a value of 0x484, this line should write the 
bytes "04 84", but it is obviously not doing so, given the response I 
get from the device (it sends "FF FF" instead of the expected value at 
that address, which I get when I remove the variable and manually 
specify the address).


What are the solutions to these problems?

Thanks,
-Joe Veldhuis

Re: [PHP] MySQLDump and master/slave Behavior

[Joe Wollard]

1. mysqldump will only keep the connection open for as long as it  
needs it. Once your calling script is allowed to continue mysqldump  
has either exited successfully or with an error, but either way the  
connection should no longer be active.


2. I don't think that would be a good idea. 30 minutes should buy you  
enough time, but if the system is getting slammed or some other  
unforeseeable event happens that makes the system slow down to a  
crawl then you run the risk of breaking your backup process. The bulk  
of the execution time in your script is almost certainly with your  
tar command. The 'j' option is telling it to use the bzip2 algorithm  
for compression, which is a very high compression level, but takes a  
long time to obtain compared to other compression algorithms. In  
short, I don't think anything that you're doing is going to cause any  
data loss as long as mysqldump isn't locking the slave database for a  
huge amount of time.


As an aside, this isn't really PHP related so much as it is MySQL or  
even *nix shell commands related, you might try a MySQL list for  
verification.



On Oct 3, 2006, at 10:29 AM, David Giragosian wrote:


Howdy Guys,

I have a PHP backup script running as a cronjob that has an exec 
(mysqldump)
line followed a bit later by an exec(tar -cjf) line. The backup  
script runs
against a slave db in the wee hours, and the master gets a  
continuous stream
of inputs at the rate of about 18,720 per day. Obviously as the  
database
grows in size, the script takes longer and longer to run. Right  
now, after
about 15 months of operation,  it's taking about 40 minutes to  
complete. But
I did a test yesterday, and the mysqldump part only takes about 2  
minutes to

finish.

Even though I've never lost data, my concern is that since master- 
slave
syncing is blocked while the script runs, I just might lose  
something if

there's a buffer overrun or something like that.

So, Question 1 is: does mysqldump's connection to the slave db  
exist for the
entire script execution time, or just for the length of time of its  
own
execution? I imagine if I used mysql_connect() in the script that  
it would
be for the entire length of the script execution, but mysqldump  
makes its

own connection, so I'm just not sure about this.

Question 2: Should I, just to be on the safe side, break out the  
mysqldump
code into its own scipt, and run it, say, 30 minutes before the tar  
script?


Thanks for your time,

David

What exactly are they doing?
Can PHP record the MAC Address of the NIC in the computer? Or are they just

Re: Re: Re: [PHP] PHP5 object construct

[Joe Wollard]

ok, so if we were talking Java, perhaps you are looking for
information that allows you to build 'accessor' and 'mutator' methods?
If so, then your example should work (syntax aside). Here's another
'test' example that I just whipped up and tested that shows you can
use any method name you wish.

thing = $val;
 }


 function getThing() {
   return $this->thing;
 }

}

$t = new test;

// Show that thing is empty
print $t->getThing() . "\n";

// Set thing to 'Thing'
$t->setThing('Thing');

// show that thing contains 'Thing'
print $t->getThing() . "\n";
?>


If I'm still on the wrong path I apologize. I probably shouldn't be
trying to provide advice on cold medicine ;-)

Any particular place on that page I should be looking?  I've read it several
times and didn't see anything like the above.  The closest thing I saw were
actual methods called setBob() and getBob(), which isn't exactly what I'm
looking for...

Easiest way: change your search form's method to GET instead of POST

To refine that a bit, you may want to give them some code that has

to see how they go about discovering the parse errors. To me, it

someone who can simply tell you what a piece of code is doing. Just a

Do you expect them to be able to work with code written by others?  If
so, hand them some of your existing code (good examples and not so

well, I'm sure that if you really wanted to try to write your own

that there is an open source apache module that you might want to

keep in mind that all this does is ask the browser for the current

Re: [PHP] templating

[Joe Wollard]

IMHO I would go with Smarty as it has excellent documentation and  
would fit almost anything that the project would require. I also  
think it would be a cleaner way of templating than using str_replace 
() over and over again. For what it's worth, I use Smarty on almost  
all of my projects, large and small. I find that once you learn it  
you can use it to develop new sites rather quickly.


...and it's not like using a nuke to kill a fly - Smarty only loads  
the files it needs as it needs them instead of loading everything -  
so it's quite fast really.

After having a better look at his scripts, I am just

Searching google I see literally hundreds of

Something like SMARTY would be like using a nuke to

I believe the manual says that ldap_connect doesn't actually make the

Re: [PHP] .htaccess - change index.php to index.abc

[Joe Wollard]

If you don't want to change the names of the files themselve from .php to
.abc then you'd need to use something like mod_rewrite for apache's HTTPD.
I'm not entirely certain as to how you'd do this, but I've included what I
normally use to hide index.php in the url. If possible I'd put this in
httpd.conf instead of .htaccess - there are performance concerns that may be
involved there. Anyway, I hope this gets you started or sparks an idea from
another list member.


 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteBase /

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

Re: [PHP] HTTP HEADERS

(sorry for the dup kartikay, forgot to hit reply to all;-)
So is the file going from server to server or from a client machine to the
server? It sounds like server to server - which if that's the case you can
use headers_list() to see what your server is going to be sending out to the
other server ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.headers-list.php) -
otherwise you can use the get_headers() function
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-headers.php)
see what headers the client sent you along with the file.

Re: [PHP] List of sessions

[Joe Wollard]

If you store your sessions in a database then your could gain a little mode
control over your session, but I think what you're asking is if there's a
way to tell if a user has closed the browser thus killing the session on
their side. If that's what you're asking then the answer is not going to lie
strictly with PHP as the server has no way to ping a user's browser. A quick
hack off the top of my head might be to find a creative way of using the
onBeforePageUnload() (or w/e it is) javascript function along with frames.

Anyway, you can check out php.net for more details on how to use a database
for session storage:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php

PHP can't do that for you but Javascript can. Here's roughly 3 million (no
joke) examples of what you'd like to accomplish:

Re: [PHP] SQL query to array?

[Joe Wollard]

Will,

Seems to me like you've just done it! Here's another way of doing it that
will utilize mysql_fetch_assoc() to allow your query to dictate the elements
of the array. Keep in mind, I haven't tested this, but since I'm not
entirely sure what you are asking the list, I'll offer it anyway ;-)

Re: [PHP] CMS for Auto Parts

[Joe Wollard]

I could be off here, but I think he's talking about using XML to transfer
data back and forth between the flash app and the PHP app. That's just me
reading between the lines though. Maybe I'm taking too much from "PHP/XML
should be used with a client-side Web GUI to upload images, part no.,
descriptions and inv[...]"

Even so, I can't really offer anything that specifically does what's needed.
I'd think the easiest way to go about it (aside from building it yourself)
would be to pick an existing AJAX + PHP framework and modify it to work with
FLASH as the front end instead of JavaScript.

- Just a thought.

Re: [PHP] strange php url

[Joe Wollard]

No arguments here ;-). For what it's worth, I've used this technique just to
simply clean up the url's a bit. With that in mind, I usually don't need to
do a terrible amount of scrubbing because I'm using the variables in the url
more for navigation. So
http://www.example.com/index.php/edit/customer/1234simply tells my
script to display a form that will allow the user to edit
customer 1234, if the first sections of $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] isn't exactly
what I'm expecting then I moce on to whatever the default action is (except
of course for the customer id at the end). Really this isn't any different
than http://www.example.com/index.php?action=edit&type=customer&id=1234 in
terms of security. If I'm wrong someone please let me know as I do use this
technique quite a bit.

Re: [PHP] strange php url

[Joe Wollard]

I believe Kevin is on the right track there. To expand a bit, you can use
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] with these urls instead of $_GET to make use of the
data it contains

example for url http://www.example.com/index.php/foo/bar


produces:
/foo/bar

You can then parse this string, (generally by using the '/' character as a
deliminator) and extract the data. MediaWiki even provides information
(can't think of where at the moment) on how to use Apache's mod_rewrite to
hide index.php thus making the url even cleaner:
http://www.example.com/foo/bar

Cheers!

My nominee for best analogy from the article:

realized that the weapons and machines were dehumanizing war, making it far 
too easy to kill, web designers and developers realized that there was a need

Web development and war in the same sentence. Killer!

If I'm understanding what you're asking, you have an array of checkboxes whose 
values you want passed to you PHP via the $_POST array. The HTML form syntax 
would be something like:



etc.

Then in your PHP script, $_POST['array'] will hold an array of the checkbox 
values.

Re: [PHP] I am not able to download domxml for PHP5

Of course you said you're running PHP5so that won't work.
According to the site it would be best for you to use the DOM that

Sorry about the mix up on my part.

Re: [PHP] Need MySql Help Please

[Joe Wollard]

Marvin,

As much as we try to keep this list PHP-only I think it's hard to
ignore the ties between PHP and MySQL. Most of us learned both
technologies simultaneously. Still, you may want to put [OT] on your
future email subjects to indicate that the question is 'off topic'.

On the matter of MySQL's command line: From what I can see on
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html it looks like when you
download the Windows binaries you don't get the option of just
downloading the client or just downloading the server - you are
downloading both (someone correct me if I'm wrong) in the 'essentials'
package. I'd imagine that when you run the installer it gives you an
option to install the server / client packages. As long as you told
the installer to give you the server and client both then you should
be in good shape. All you should need to do is make sure that A) the
MySQL binary (probably C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
5.0\bin\mysql) is in your PATH environment variable and that B) the
server is running (which from the sounds of things, it is). If it's in
your path you should be able to start the client shell by simply
typing "mysql -u marvin -p" or similar.

You also might check out MySQL's documentation on running MySQL from
the command line in Windows
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/windows-start-command-line.html

Good luck!

I'm not an expert on the topic by any stretch of the imagination, but I seem

performance reasons. You may want to investigate that, but otherwise I don't

Re: [PHP] microtime questions

[Joe Wollard]

Tedd,

I think Brad was just making some observations, he wasn't trying to be rude.
When he said that "the time differentials are too be expected." I think he
was just answering the question of why the exact same FOR loop could
possibly take different amounts of time to execute under the same conditions
in the script; not necessarily why it was providing negative values.

On your original issue, were you able to make use of the example function on
http://php.net/microtime? The documentation there along with what I posted
should hopefully clear things up for you as to why microtime() is reliable,
and that it doesn't return a pure float that should be used in equations. It
seems as though you knew that, but as I said before the way that you're
using microtime() is not valid with the version of PHP your host is using.

Please let us know if you'd like more clarification on this. There are a lot
of people on this list, so someone will have the answer that you need. ;-)

Re: [PHP] how to run 'periodic'

[Joe Wollard]

Frank,

It sounds like you need to run this as a job through crond. I'm not sure
what the OSX version is (maybe they have a port of crond?) but you could set
that up to execute the specific code, as root, whenever you want. As far as
I can think, and maybe Chris Shifflet can confirm/deny this, you shouldn't
be running into any additional security issues by executing the script as
root - As long as it's running through the CLI version of PHP. Just make
sure it's only executable by root and then root should be the only one

Re: [PHP] microtime questions

[Joe Wollard]

I just realized that I could check your version, and it appears that we've
found the problem. You're running PHP 4.3.10, so I'd suggest using the non
PHP5 work around on php.net's site.

Cheers!

Re: [PHP] microtime questions

[Joe Wollard]

Tedd,

The only way that I can even think of this as being possible is if you call
microtime() instead of microtime(true). The former will return 'msec sec'
separated by a space which can produce a negative number because you've
essentially got two different types of measurements there. IMHO PHP should
probably throw out an error when two strings are used in a mathematical way
- in this case (without the TRUE arg) here is a possible equation that could
be evaluated.

  0.15290800 1144430717
- 0.86641600 1144430716

PHP evaluates this to -0.713508 (or 0.15290800 - 0.86641600) It's negative
because we're not talking about msecs from the same second - it ignores the
seconds and only pays attention to the microseconds. So if you're using
microtime(true) how can this happen on your machine? Well, off the top of my
head I think you should verify that your machine (or your hosting service)
is running PHP5 || >. IF not, and error reporting is turned off, then you'll
get a negative number from time to time since the seconds are being ignored.

http://php.net/microtime has an example of how to emulate microtime(true) on
PHP < 5

Hope that helps!

The way I understand it, pass by reference in php is determined in the 
function definition and not the function call. Something like:

function foo (&$bar) {
...
}

Here's a link to that section of the php manual:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.references.pass.php

um. Did you just stick you tounge out at me? (jk) Actually, Rob brings up a
good point. switch statements are not always faster. Here's an example from
http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php - note that it
says that in certain circumstances switch may be faster than an if.

"In a switch statement, the condition is evaluated only once and the result
is compared to each case statement. In an elseif statement, the condition is
evaluated again. If your condition is more complicated than a simple compare
and/or is in a tight loop, a switch may be faster."

Thanks for making me research that one Rob - I learned something there, and
Ray I hope that helps.

Without seeing more code it's hard to say which would be better for you to
use, but based on the snippet you've provided it looks like an if block is
the only thing that will work for you. The main perk to using switch over if
statements is speed (Google can back this up). The reason it's faster is
because it's simpler by design and is able to jump directly to the case that
evaluates to true, whereas an if statement needs to evaluate every if/elseif
condition until it finds one that evalutates to true.

In your example you're passing the $FFELP_Lenders variable through count()
multiple times. One way to speed things up would be to cache the results of
count($FFELP_Lenders) in a separate var so that the entire $FFELP_Lenders
array isn't being counted potentially 50+ times - unless of course you're
manipulating it later in the code.

You can also clean up this code a bit by removing other redundancies. In the
example below we're only evaluating $numFFELP one time. If it is not greater
than 1 then everything inside that block that depends on $numFFELPS being >
1 will be skipped - getting you one step closer to the speed of a switch
statement.


// Cache the number of elements in the
// $FFELPS_Lenders array
$numFFELP_Lenders = count($FFELP_Lenders);

if($numFFELP > 1) {

  // At this point we know $numFFELP is greater than one
  if ($numFFELP_Lenders > 1 && $numFFELP == $numTotal)
   $retVal = array(TRUE, 'A');
}else {

  // From here on out we know that $numFFELP
  // is greater than 0. If it's not this block of code
  // will be completely ignored.
  if($enumFFELP > 0 && $numFFELP_Lenders > 1 && $enumFFELP + $numFFELP ==
$numTotal){
   $retVal = array(TRUE, 'A');
  }elseif($numCONS > 0 && $numFFELP_Lenders > 1 && $numFFELP + $numCONS ==
$numTotal){
// Rob says "Wh!"!11!!!11one1!
  }
}


It's been a long night for me as well so I hope this makes as much sense to

Re: [PHP] Sessions and Frames

[Joe Wollard]

I agree with Richard on this one. Frames should really be avoided if for no
other reason than they cause headaches like the one you have right now. ;-)

If you can't avoid them, keep it simple - just store the ID in one place,
like a session cookie. Doing so will make sure that if the session ID gets
changed in one frame it will still be correct in all of the other frames.

Try TO_DAYS(curdate()) instead - if not you can't say we didn't try! ;-)

Re: [PHP] microsoft PHP ?

[Joe Wollard]

Leave poor Zouari alone! I for one think that Microsoft buying Zend would be
the best thing to happen to PHP, EVAR! This Rasmus guy didn't even mean for
PHP to be what it is, he just wanted something simple and now look at it.
It's WAY to complex for an unorganized bunch of hobbyists to maintain. I'm
personally looking forward to the way they'll clean things up. Who knows,
maybe once they've got PHP under control we won't need these security
'experts' like Chris Shifflett any more because would be hackers won't be
able to see the source code, which of course means they won't be able to
find vulnerabilities. You guys just need to give up on this open source
hippie dream and let Microsoft change things for the better - who cares if
Stephen King thinks they are working in conjunction with the Crimson King
and that they might build robots that will someday take over the world and
more or less 'suck the s-m-r-t' out of 50% of the worlds twins? He looks
creepy anyway.

 - and a happy April fool's to all ;-)

Yep.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought you couldn't use the  "$f->foo" to access 
private variables from outside a class?

Hey Tedd,

Do you have ssh access to your remote server from your local machine? If you 
do, then that would be where you'd run the command "which php".

On Linux/Mac OS X, you can ssh via a terminal. On Windows, a program like 
PuTTY will do the trick.

Link for PuTTY download (just in case):
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

Syntax for ssh:
ssh @

Once you have an ssh session open to your remote server, running "which php" 
will return the remote path for php.

Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] IE quirk

With IE, it's not a quirk. It's a feature.

You could try using an absolute rather than a relative path:
