[PHP] Backing up: Database and scripts...
Hi, So I can create the files, move them, etc. to backup my database and a couple of directories, but how do I create a gzip file of that and send it to the user? I need to basically execute a command to gzip a couple of files/directories... I also need to figure out how to un-gzip a gzip file... (and extract those files).

foreach($files as $file) {
$tar-add($file);
}
header(Content-type: application/octet-stream);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=backup.tar);
header(Content-length: . filesize(../backup/backup.tar));

[PHP] Note on SuperGlobals
Here's something pretty good I just found: A few years ago, my wife and I decided to go on a skiing trip up north. To reserve skiing equipment, you had to give 24 hours advance notice using the ski lodge's on-line website. The catch was that my wife had asked me to make the reservations 23 hours before the deadline. So I got to thinking, and examined the online website, which would not let you make any reservations within the 24 hour timeframe. However, once you selected an appropriate date, I noticed that the URL was: https://www.somewhere.com/reservations.php?date=01-23-01 It occurred to me that, while they had locked down security on what dates I could choose from, the final value was placed into a GET statement at the end of the web address. I modified the web address to use date=01-22-01 and indeed, our skies were waiting for us first thing the next morning (we paid for them, of course). This innocent yet practical example is just one of the dangers we have to be aware of when using any programming language that can be used in ways that we did not intend, which leads us into our discussion on PHP Superglobals. this was found on: http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/lamp/php.html#PHPSUPERGLOBALS -Michael -- Pratt Museum IT Intern All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] XML Array
Hey, I'm looking for a function to take an XML file and turn it into a PHP array with the same structure. So if I have: template color#00/color backgroundimage.jpg/background /template It would give me an array: Array ( [template] = Array ( [color] = #00 [background] = image.jpg ) ) Anyone know of anything like that? -Michael -- Pratt Museum IT Intern All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: DOMXML...
This is not an option for me... I'm writing a CMS and want to be able to
do things for other users without specific compile options.

This may not be what you are looking for, but the DOMXML object since PHP
4.0 works great --- you do have to compile PHP using the --with-dom
For example... If i am dealing with the following structure...
contacts
contact
nameRuss/name
phone919.919.1919/phone
/contact
contact
nameOther/name
phone912.932.9328/phone
/contact
/contacts
and the name of this xml file is contacts.xml
I would do the following...
$xmlDoc = domxml_open_file('xml/contacts.xml');
$root = $xmlDoc-document_element();
$contacts = $root-children();
// this new $contacts file is an array of the xml tree. For example, to
call up the first set of contact info, the info for russ, just use
$contacts[0]
// but there is more. say you want to learn about this contacts[0] node,
such as pull the name russ. First, you have to get all the chirlden of
this node... so you can do...
$node_to_work_with = $contacts[0]-children();
// now this $node_to_work_with is an array with all the children,
including the name, phone, etc. built in + information about these
children. for example...
echo $node_to_work_with[0]-get_content();
// that would print Russ
echo $node_to_work_with[1]-get_content();
// that would print the Phone Number
echo $node_to_work_with[0]-name();
// that would print Name as in the name of the node, which
coincidentally happens to be name...

Re: [PHP] Private and protected variables in PHP 5?
Hey,
private vars are not accessible that way. This is the way it works...
private $var is only usable by the class. You can't access it through
$object-var.
protected $var is only usable by the class if it was called directly,
but not by any objects that are classes that are extended from the base.
Example:
class Parent {
protected $var = test;
function blah($somevar) {
...
}
}
class Child extends Parent {
...
}
$parent = new Parent;
print $parent-var; //ouputs test
$child = new Child;
print $child-var; //outputs nothing
as you can see $var is only accessible by objects that are specifically
Parents, not Children.
public vars are accessible by the class itself, ($this-var), derived
classes, and by $class-var.
HTH,
Cheers!

All,
I'm toying with the new stuff available in PHP 5 (latest CVS), but I've hit a
brick wall: both private and protected don't seem to work as I'd expect them
to.
Here's an example script:
?php
class dog {
// declare two private variables
private $Name;
private $DogTag;
public function bark() {
print Woof!\n;
}
}
// new class, for testing derived stuff
class poodle extends dog {
public function bark() {
print Yip!\n;
}
}
// I now create an instance of the
// derived class
$poppy = new poodle;
// and set its private property
$poppy-Name = Poppy;
print $poppy-Name;
?
For some reason, that script works fine - PHP doesn't object to me setting
private variables in the derived class. Yet if I use $poppy = new dog, the
script errors out as expected. It's almost like PHP inherits the member
variables, but not the attached access control.
For protected, here's another script:
?php
class dog {
// this next function is protected
// viz, it should be available to dog
// and its children
protected function bark() {
print Woof!\n;
}
}
class poodle extends dog {
// nothing happening here
}
$mydog = new poodle;
// I now call the protected function
$mydog-bark();
?
That script errors out saying that I can't call the protected function bark -
surely, being protected, it should be available in the poodle class too?
Of course, it might be that these two pieces of functionality are not yet
implemented in PHP, or, more likely, that I'm just misinterpreting the
documentation! ;)
If you have any insight, please CC me into your response to the list.
Thanks,
Paul

[PHP] PHP5 and PHP4 on Same Machine
Hi, Just thought I'd let everyone know: you can run php5 and php4 on the same machine (--with-apxs for example) but, I don't know if you can AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4 .php AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 or not... Is that possible? I know you can load both modules, but whichever one I load first isn't usable unless I could make php5 run only on .php5 files... -Michael -- Pratt Museum IT Intern All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Stumper: Get Variable Name
Alright, I've got an error reporting class with a report() method.
I want to be able to e-mail myself the name of the variable that bombed
out and the line that it was on (as well as the filename) if possible.
Don't really know where to start... looks like this:
function report ($error_var) {
include (variables/global.var.php);
require (admin/classes/class.phpmailer.php);
require (admin/classes/class.smtp.php);
$mail = new PHPMailer();
//set the variables we need
$mail-From = $smtp['from'];
$mail-Subject = Reporting A PrattCMS Error;
$mail-FromName = $smtp['fromname'];
$mail-Host = $smtp['host'];
$mail-Mailer = smtp;
$mail-SMTPAuth = $smtp['auth'];
$mail-Username = $smtp['user'];
$mail-Password = $smtp['pass'];
$mail-Helo = $smtp['helo'];
$body = We regret to inform you that ;
}
and I want to be able to tell myself what the variable's name was, the
line it errored out on, etc.
Thanks!

It is a sad fact that many people who are in need of additional income, are being victimized by these fly by night scam artists.

They have given me the best compensation plan with their high % commission. I didn't have to perform some juggling act to maintain some 60 to 40% balance in my legs.

Instead of being left alone, you will be guided step by step by real people, not those auto responders. Only you can make your own success together with the help of your sponsors. If you have 2 to 3 hours a day, you will be able to earn a full income in a few months. And there is absolutely no limit as to how much you can earn. It is designed to gain momentum after some time.
