[PHP] PHP 4.3.11, question about classes
Hi,
I am just learning about classes.
My server is running PHP 4.3.11
Example code:
class testing {
var $what;
}
$linkGenClass = new testing();
$linkGenClass-what = 'hi';
echo $linkGenClass-what;
Why does the constructor require the ()?
I have seen many examples via google that do not use ().
Should I worry about capitalizing the first letter of the class?
Can class names have underscores?
Are spaces allowed on either side of the -?
Is var $what PHP 4 and 5, whereas public $what is PHP 5?
Got any good links to class tutorials for PHP 4.3.11?
Sorry to sound like a PHP noob.
TIA,
Cheers,
Micky

Re: [PHP] PHP 4.3.11, question about classes
Hi Chris! Thanks for all the great answers, I really appreciate all of
your help. I am browsing the link you gave me now.
I only have one question:
On Mar 22, 2006, at 4:09 AM, chris smith wrote:
You're calling a method (which is a function inside a class). You
can't call a regular function without the brackets, so methods should
be the same.
...
class testing {
var $what;
}
$linkGenClass = new testing();
$linkGenClass-what = 'hi';
echo $linkGenClass-what;
Let me see if I have this straight: class testing {} is a method, and
$linkGenClass = new testing(); is the class...
I am pretty familiar with PHP functions... I was under the assumption
that class testing{} was the class, and any functions inside that
class were the methods?
An example function:
function example() {}
But, this would be considered a method?:
class method {}
Seems a bit confusing. Esp. when I construct the above method like so:
$myClass = new method();
Hehe, I am sure that link you sent will give me some great answers,
reading now.
I really appreciate your time/links/knowledge/help. :)

[PHP] Function-returning array { OR } declare array at top of functions file?
Hi,
I just wanted to know if it is wrong, or non-standard, for me to set-up
functions that just return an array... example:
function vert_links_array():
function vert_links_array() {
return array(
'1' =
array(S_MANCOM,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=mancom',S_MANCOM_TI,'mancom'),
'2' =
array(S_BRACLU,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=braclu',S_BRACLU_TI,'braclu'),
'3' =
array(S_BRASHO,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=brasho',S_BRASHO_TI,'brasho'),
'4' =
array(S_CALDIS,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=caldis',S_CALDIS_TI,'caldis'),
'5' =
array(S_CUSMAN,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=cusman',S_CUSMAN_TI,'cusman'),
'6' =
array(S_FRIDIS,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=fridis',S_FRIDIS_TI,'fridis'),
'7' =
array(S_GOVMIL,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=govmil',S_GOVMIL_TI,'govmil'),
'8' =
array(S_INDBRA,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=indbra',S_INDBRA_TI,'indbra'),
'9' =
array(S_INDLIN,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=indlin',S_INDLIN_TI,'indlin'),
'10' =
array(S_RAICAR,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=raicar',S_RAICAR_TI,'raicar'),
'11' =
array(S_SAWGUI,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=sawgui',S_SAWGUI_TI,'sawgui'),
'12' =
array(S_ASSPRO,'start.php?page=productsamp;
sub=asspro',S_ASSPRO_TI,'asspro')
); // Add more here.
}
OR
Should I just put the above array at the top of my functions file and
access it as a global within other functions?
Any suggestions? I am a self-taught php dude, so please don't laugh if
this is a silly question.
Thanks. :)
Cheers,
Micky

[PHP] Page validation: Un-wanted PHP session ID added to links????
Hi, I just finished a website for client - I just uploaded the site to their server space - when I went to go validate my pages using the W3C XHTML validator I get several errors due to an un-encoded ampersand in the link URL...

I need to know how to arrange files alphabetically in my directory

I would read the contents of the directory into an array, then use the
sort()[1] function.
Example code (wrote the below code so I could generate a dynamic html
drop-down menu):
...
...
...
$the_dir = opendir($file_path);
# Loop through directory and add files to array $html:
while ($file = readdir($the_dir)) {
# Check if it's a file, and it has a valid extension:
if(eregi((\.html|\.htm|\.php|\.txt)$, $file)) {
# Add file to array $html:
$html[] = $file;
}
}
# Close the stream:
closedir($the_dir);
# Generate the drop-down menu:
if($html == null) { die(There are no files in this directory!); } //
If no content is found, alert user.
...
...
...
From here, in your case, I would just apply one of the PHP sort
functions on the $html var and then print/echo your results from
there...

Write output to file instead of stdout. If you are

replaced
with the current string for the URL being fetched. Like
in:

or use several variables like:
curl http://{site,host}.host[1-5].com -o #1_#2
You may use this option as many times as you have

-O/--remote-name
Write output to a local file named like the remote file
we get.

[PHP] Binary Config file: Protect script(s): Powered-by logo: How to?
Hey all, A couple years ago, before I could write my own PHP, I used a semi-commercial gallery script... Long story short, this gallery script used a config.dat file with these contents: ?php exit(); ? 11001100 01101100 0100 10001100 1100 ... ... (Picture 1,667 lines of this) ... 11101100 0100 00101100 11101100 0100 This config file controlled how a Powered by Company Name was displayed on the bottom of the template page. So, if you buy the gallery script, which I did (I think I spent like 20$), the Powered by Company Name disappears. Since then, I have always wondered how I could do the same. I am definitely not a PHP guru, but I can hold my own... There have been a few scripts I have written for clients where I would have loved to implement this same technique... Recently, I re-downloaded the script and tried to break-it-down to see how it works... I was able to narrow things down to a few methods, a template page, and a tiny bit more of PHP script... But, it is really hard to understand how this is done because the config.dat file is unreadable! Any thoughts on how I could go about doing this? How are they making their config files (I am assuming that they probably wrote a proprietary script to convert PHP code to binary 1's and 0's)? Any thoughts and/or suggestions? If anyone is curious, I can post a bit of the code. Here is a link to the gallery script: http://www.stadtaus.com/en/php_scripts/gallery_script/ Does anyone else do something similar? I would love to see some code, and/or read more about similar techniques Thanks all, Cheers, Micky -- ¸.·´¯`·.¸¸(((º`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸º ·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸º `·.¸¸º¸.·´¯`·.¸¸º -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Declaring arrays? Good practice?
Sorry if this question sounds noobish:
$foo = array(); // Declare first, good practice.
$foo = array('one', 'two', 'three');
Using above as example, is it good to always declare the array first?
I usually/always declare my arrays first, but sometimes I get a bit
confused... for example:
function give_foo() {
$the_foo = array(); // Declare first, good practice.
$the_foo = array('one', 'two', 'three');
// Do some stuff here...
return $the_foo;
}
$foo = give_foo(); // Declare $foo also?
So, should I declare $foo as array and then give it the value of the
function? Example:
$foo = array(); // Declare first, good practice.
$foo = give_foo();
That seems kinda redundant. Thoughts?
Sorry if this is a stupid question... I am self-taught, and I am trying
to shake all my bad coding habits.

Re: [PHP] Re: IE6 not returning POST data from a textarea
For those interested, here is the answer... Text pasted into a textarea [e.g., from Word] can have characters not defined in IE's textarea ISO-8859-1 charset. Appearently, IE6 has a bug such that it does not send the POST value for the textarea name when some of these are present. [e.g., … char [hex 85]] I don't know how many. You can get it to work by right-mouse selecting Encoding UTF-8 on the client browser or use in the html header: meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html;charset=utf-8 Sometimes I use BBEDIT and turn-on Show Invisibles... that usually catches any odd character. Then I save the file with unix line endings... Seems to work really well. I am glad you got it figured out.

Register globals is no longer ON I believe. That is why it happened.
To fix this:
Foreach($_POST as $key = $value) ${$key} = $value;
That will convert all of your post variables to local variables.
Could not you also do:
?php

?php
# Error checking:

(!empty($_REQUEST['pass']))) {
# Begin date:
$date_long = date('r'); // Example output: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 05:20:18

$date_short = date('mdy'); // Example output: 051121
$date_slashes = date('m/d/y'); // Example output: 11/21/05
$date_check = date('l');
#End date.
function randNumb() {
# Begin random # generation:

$rand_num_two = randNumb();
$rand_num_three = randNumb();
// HTML to be written:

$contents = ob_get_clean();
@ob_end_clean();
$contents = str_replace('{_dateLong_}',$date_long, $contents);
$contents = str_replace('{_dateSlashes_}',$date_slashes, $contents);
$contents = str_replace('{_dateShort_}',$date_short, $contents);
$contents = str_replace('{_randNumOne_}',$rand_num_one, $contents);

$contents = str_replace('{_randNumThree_}',$rand_num_three, $contents);
$contents = str_replace('{_dateCheck_}',$date_check, $contents);
# Now open the file and write contents of template:
$fp =
fopen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/
path_to_place_where_you_store_the_xml_file/
xml_file_name'.$date_check.'.xml','wb'); // Open for writing only; If
the file does not exist, attempt to create it.
fwrite($fp, $contents);
fclose($fp);
} else { echo h1Please Leave Now!/h1; }
?
I then use a cron to run the above script every week, like so:
GET http://www.your_site.com/pod.php?pass=let_me_in /dev/null
Or, instead of using the CRON, you can just got to the script via your
browser like so:
http://www.your_site.com/pod.php?pass=let_me_in
And the XML file will generate itself.
Please keep in mind, I quickly slapped this script together... It gets
the job done for me... I am sure there are way better ways to do what I
am doing... also, the XML template could be more robust (more meta-tags
maybe?)... the PHP script could probably use something other than
output buffering... If anyone has ideas/thoughts/suggestions for
improvements please let me know.
HTH,
Cheers,
Micky

not too silly, I am definitely not a guru at PHP.
Anyway, in one of my latest projects, I find myself using this bit of

if((isset($_REQUEST['sub'])) (!empty($_REQUEST['sub']))) {

like this (not tested):
function security_check():
function security_check($x) {
$error = false;
if((isset($x)) (!empty($x))) {
$error = false;
return $error;
} else {
$error = true;
return $error;
}
}
Or, is it perfectly valid and secure to use @, like so:
@... code here...
I know that it completely depends on the what one is trying to
accomplish in ones scripts, but any guidance and/or suggestions would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, I really appreciate your time.

However, that doesn't actually work ... and could cause a notice if it
isn't; and $x will always be defined, even if set to null.
Yes, I actually just realized this via testing/experimenting... :(
Since your variables are coming from REQUEST anyway, you could write
it like this:
function security_check($x) {
return !empty($_REQUEST[$x]);
}
Then, if(!security_check('sub')) { ... }
Ah, great idea, thanks! You have been very helpful, thanks. :D
