Re: [PHP] Header issues

2005-04-05 Thread Martin . C . Austin
Perhaps you can do some juggling to make this work, passing the query to 
the server, then using a client side language to transmit those results to 
the appropriate frame.  Sounds like a big headache to me though.

 I use the Header( ) function.
 This works, except that my tables are displayed in the margin area. 
 How can I force it to send to the main area , using the header function.

You can't.  Not using header() at least.  header() happens on the 
server, targeting a frame happens in the client.

Subject:Re: [PHP] functions vs classes


At the most basic level a class allows you to group your functions 
together. On small projects, grouping of functions may not seem to buy 
you anything. But the bigger the project gets, the more you would like 
to be able to keep your functions separated into groups.

One simple advantage of classes is that they prevent naming conflicts 
with your functions. This is very important when you are sharing code 
since you don't know what another programmer named their functions. 
What if you both name a function get_one_record? If you use classes, 
you only need to keep the names of your classes unique. Which then 
means you can use the same generic function name across all your 
classes, and you interface within your classes in a consistent manner, 
only the context changes.

For instance, you may have a class call companies and another called 
contacts. Within each you may have functions called get_list, 
get_one and delete_one. Same function names, but in different 
classes so they don't conflict. Now you could create a generic 
interface to view a list, view a record or delete a record. What data 
is displayed depends on which class you load. The function names are 
all the same, so you don't need to change your code when you change the 
context (companies or contacts).

This is hardly a tutorial on OOP. But maybe it will give you an idea of 
the benefits of using classes.

 The way I see it, is a function if for repeated use in a project 
 specific manner, where as a class could be used for many projects.

 is this correct?

 Although one could just include the function library in multiple 
 projects.

 Thanks!

Re: [PHP] Parsing... the hell of PHP

2005-03-30 Thread Martin . C . Austin
$url = a href =\.$url.\.HtmlEntities($url).\./a;

It appears the parse error is at the end of your opening link tag, so PHP 
doesn't know what .HtmlEntities($url) means.  I'm at work so I can't test 
it, but that appears the culprit to me.

$url = a href=\$url\ . HtmlEntities($url) . /a; should suffice.

Hi,

I'm trying to transform a url taken from the DB from plain text, to 
the same, but linkable url.

All i get is parse errors and alike.

Here is my last (of many) attempt:

$url = a href =\.$url.\.HtmlEntities($url).\./a;

A warning and a parse error is what i get.
Can't get there :(

Any help would be apreciated.

Warm regards,

Re: [PHP] Parsing... the hell of PHP

2005-03-30 Thread Martin . C . Austin
Glad to have helped (though someone else beat me to the punch with the 
right answer!)

You'll get the hang of it -- the way I learned is to write out your tag 
that you'd like to use like this:

a href=$urltext here/a

Then go through and escape the characters that need it:

a href=\$url\text here/a

You can place variables into a string, but if you are using a function to 
work on that variable, you must concatenate it.

a href=\$url\ . htmlentities($url) . /a;  (needs concatenation)
a href=\$url\$url/a;  (no function used, no concatenation 
necessary)

Good luck!

Re: [PHP] How to format every secound row in a database result

2005-03-30 Thread Martin . C . Austin
Or you could simply test the $color variable to see its contents, and 
change it if it's what you expected:

$color = #FF;
if($color = #FF) {
  $color = #00;
  //output
} else {
  $color = #FF;
}

There may be something inherently wrong in this approach, but it has 
always worked for me. :o)

Maintain a counter as you display the returned results.
Mod the counter by 2 (rowcounter % 2), set colour according to presence / 
absence of a remainder.

ivory-like color to improve the readability in the result table...

Hope to hear from anyone with experience in similar matters...

How about a filename based upon a user id and the time the file was
uploaded.  Unless you have multiple instances of the same user then it 
will
not be possible for the same user to upload a file at exactly the same 
time
as himself.

Just a thought...

 That would be fine if your previous solution was absolutely 
 bullet-proof, or for that matter provided a solution for the 
 original problem of renaming uploaded files and keeping them 
 unique. Appending a datetime to a file, or using a loop that 
 hopes you get a unique name within 100 iterations is wildly 
 far from bullet proof in just about every respect.

Could the speed have more to do with whatever database server you are 
using, than with PHP?  I assume database since you are querying something. 
 Just curious.
