[PHP] XML manipulation
Hi! Manipulating XML files with PHP is quite new thing to me, so I could need a bit help with it. Here are the questions(and below are XML schema): 1) Is it possible to change those blocks order? For example I move block number=1.1.1 below 1.1.3 and it's number gets changed from 1.1.1 1.1.3 and 1.1.2 1.1.1 and 1.1.3 1.1.2 I also should be able to change order of blocks with number=1.1 (for example 1.1 1.8 and 1.8 1.1) and number=1. 2) where and how should I approach? Theoretically I think I should make a html list from the blocks and make it sortable with help of jQuery... beginning doesn't seem so difficult..but what happends then? (SimpleXML havent helped me with changing order..it helps me to change and read attributes.) So any suggestions/ideas for completing that kind of solution are welcome. And here is the XML (simplified)structure: -- block number=1 text=main of the all blocks block number=1.1 block number=1.1.1 somestuff_here text=hello/somestuff_here /block block number=1.1.2 someotherstuff_here text=hello again/someotherstuff_here /block block number=1.1.3 /block /block block number=1.2 /block /block -- Thank you for help.

Re: [PHP] Creating new site
I have investigated some frameworks.. Zend and Codeiginiter but I haven't done any testing/exercises. They seem to make things much more simple/faster yes...but I'm not sure how much time it will take to get know one of them(or CakePHP). And I haven't got into reading licences...I'm sure they have got licences that restricts something(or not ?) To be honest, I kinda hate all kind of licences. There are many pages info what I can and what I can't do...but I mostly like to do what I have and want to do. Also, inventing the wheel once, might give good experience or am I going slippery way ? Shawn McKenzie wrote: Micah Gersten wrote: Depending on the size of the site, you might want to consider a PHP framework to start with. There's usually no point in reinventing the wheel. Someone mentioned CakePHP which utilizes MVC. I'm looking into porting my stuff to the Zend Framework which makes MVC optional, but has a lot of functionality make available. Thank you, Micah Gersten onShore Networks Internal Developer http://www.onshore.com I too like CakePHP. I have coded in PHP for quite a while and understand OOP and OOP in PHP, however I don't really have any experience building sites or apps from scratch using OOP/MVC. Cake or a framework makes it much quicker and easier. For those that need total freedom to do things the way they want but need some pre-built functionality to make it quicker, Zend seems to be the choice. I consider Zend to be more of a class library like PEAR only more consistant. For me, I had no habits/best practices or preferred way when I started with OOP/MVC so Cake was great. It has a certain structure and uses certain conventions and code generation which makes it very quick and easy. The main drawback is the docs. -Shawn Raido wrote: Hi, There are many sites explaining how to build new site etc but I'd like to hear what You suggest.

That is short summary what that site should do. It seems quite big for me so I'd be happy to hear any guidelines from people who have built big sites. Creating forms, posting data, user login etc, these things are not problem... problem is: how to build the whole thing aimed to OOP and use with Smarty to keep things organized. I'm not sure but I have idea about what things I should do first: 1) think and write down any function that needs to be done(for example different validations, functions for showing/posting form etc) 2) plan and create database? 3) create database class which handles database connection But what next?

[PHP] Getting info from SVN commit with php
Hi, I would be very grateful if someone could point out some ways how to do the following: I have an SVN server but I need to add some extra to commit message which PHP will get and use(for example use the parameters from commit message to change data on mysql database... (if commit messages first line has character *, then run sql query... update tasks set some_row='OK' where Currently important is: 1) Is it even possible to get commit messages text with php ? Since I can't find the file where commit messages are. I only digged subversion docs for 'how to edit message' Should, be possible(bot nut sure) to use commands: $ svn propedit -r N --revprop svn:log URL $ svn propset -r N --revprop svn:log new log message URL What I'd like to achieve is: I'l' make page where I store all my tasks (for example Need to add login function to test.php). In MySQL, this task has got ID 1 and STATUS 0 which means it isn't done yet. Then when I have that task done I start writing commit message where first line may look like this: 1|1 and rest of the lines will be regular commit message. Then there will be PHP script which checks that commit message and reads that line where I put 1|1 and understands that first number is task ID and second is STATUS and then run sql query like: update tasks set STATUS=1 where ID=1; So, seems impossible? For me, currently yes, since I haven't found any examples how to do it...but I know that nothing is impossible.

Re: [PHP] Getting info from SVN commit with php
Thank You for that fast reply.
PECL was something that I din't know about. But I'll dig in with Your
examples and also PECL and try to find most simple but well-working
solution.
Also sorry for Return Receipt, turned that off.

There's an SVN PECL module: http://pecl.php.net/package/svn
Also, you can easily run these kind of commands via system() - I've
done that in the past, but now that there's this SVN PECL module I've
been wanting to get aligned that way. Always better in my opinion to
use APIs and not system() calls.
If the svn module doesn't meet your needs you can ask for
enhancements, or just use system() for now.
here's a couple functions I wrote.
$config['svn'] was the path to the svn command (like /usr/bin/svn)
i used the xml output option so i could parse it using simplexml.
also, i pass it a username, password and repository since i support
multiple repositories and each one has a unique username/password set.
it worked like a charm. i am sure you can tailor this code to suit
your needs.
# get the latest revision #
function svn_latest($username, $password, $repository) {
$xml = simplexml_load_string(shell_exec($GLOBALS['config']['svn'].
info --xml --non-interactive --no-auth-cache --username {$username}
--password{$password} svn://localhost/{$repository}));
return intval($xml-entry-commit['revision']);
}
function svn_history($username, $password, $repository, $count = 20,
$start = 0, $latest = 0) {
# svn's revisions are incremental, so we need to calculate
backwards to find the right offsets
if($latest == 0) {
$latest = svn_latest($username, $password, $repository);
}
$start = $latest - $start;
$end = intval($start - $count) + 1;
if($end 0) { $end = 0; }
$xml = simplexml_load_string(shell_exec($GLOBALS['config']['svn'].
log --xml --non-interactive --no-auth-cache --username {$username}
--password {$password} -r {$start}:{$end}
svn://localhost/{$repository}));
return $xml;
}
