a 64bit unsigned int is best, but that would only work properly on 64bit
arch. For 32bit users, making it unsigned is the best option for now,
and I suppose that by 2038 there will be another option.

I am in a bit of a pickle, or is that PECL? I need to use either mime_content_type or FileInfo to get the mime type of a file that is dumped into the system via email. Now that is the easy part, where the hard part comes in is that a commercial host that I use will do neither reason being that mime_content_type is deprecated, and that FileInfo is unstable in PECL only :/ Anyone got a workaround on this? I *really* don't feel like writing a zillion lines of code to get arbitrary mimetypes out that will only be used a little while and to replace 1 and 2 lines of code respectively. --Paul -- . | Chisimba PHP5 Framework - http://avoir.uwc.ac.za | :: All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/public/portal_services/disclaimer.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Why would you use that? Have you used it somewhere before and what were the circumstances? Is it repeatable? Is your previous code re-usable? Answer some of those questions, look up design patterns (even on wikipedia to get an overview) and buy some books to see solid examples. If you suspect that you need to use a specific pattern, or are interested in how to implement a specific pattern, write some throwaway code to do it and ask opinions. Look at the simple things that you would probably have used already - factory, singleton and MVC and expand on those a little to get them to be actual design patterns that you can use/reuse.

What you need to do is ask yourself whether you are going to do high volume SMS or not, and look at when do the commercial providers become more economical? What a lot of people do, is sign up for an account and end up sending only 50 or so SMS a month, which is silly, when for the same price as a month or two's subscription, you could buy your own GSM modem and a prepaid SIM card and do it for half the price yourself. --Paul All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/public/portal_services/disclaimer.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Could you able to explain how to put try{} and

php exception manual but it didn't help me to get
exact idea about exception handling in php.
Well, its pretty simple really...
In your objects that you create, just put in a statement that throws an
exception of some sort (I like to extend the built in exception handler
with a custom one that deals properly with db errors as well as PHP
ones) and then try{} and catch(){} them in your business logic.
example:
class someclass {
public function foo()
{
// do something
...
else {
throw new Exception(uh-oh - we have a problem!);
}
}
}
$thing = new someclass;
try {
$thing-foo();
}
catch(Exception $e) {
echo $e-getMessage();

Probably not. I don't think that the mysql functions throw exceptions on
failure.
You will have to write a wrapper function to do the exception on
failure, so something like
function dbConnect()
{
$conn = mysql_connect('','','');
if(!$conn) {
throw new Exception(Couldn't connect);
}
else {

My biggest gripe with ZF components is that the Exception handler Zend_Exception, is sometimes tricky to override with the native Chisimba customException handler (which produces pretty output as opposed to an ugly call stack, and logs the ugly things (user wise) to a log file).

I suspect that massive performance upgrade just came from having what is essentially a multi-field index, because MySQL can only use *ONE* index per query. Yeah, for sure! You will need to use GEOS to index those rows. Also, if your database is getting large, consider switching to PostGIS on Postgres, as opposed to MySQL.

If your webserver is getting busy fulfilling requests to a download file, simply pass the download bit to a static server running a lightweight httpd and nothing else. Files are completely static, so this is really quite a cool solution for this type of situation. --Paul All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/public/portal_services/disclaimer.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Has anyone started a commonly used PCRE Regexp library? It could be a simple wiki page or something (we had one on our old site that was getting quite large - but that is now gone - sigh) Anyway, is anyone up for that? These things come up pretty often, and having a library of common ones would save us all a lot of effort in these types of threads. Something like: Purpose: regex : Author : Thoughts?

Re: [PHP] XAdES in PHP

There are a couple of implementations of XMLDSIG in PHP that I have seen, although none really up to scratch IMO. You could try one of those (I think there is a pretty decent Python implementation as a starting point) and fix it up and extend that. --Paul All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/public/portal_services/disclaimer.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
