It's getting late and I'm just grasping for straws.

and thus:
database server works - yes
user and login works locally - yes
user and login works remotely - yes
user and login works on box in question - yes
further debug:
do mysql connections work for any host at all in php? - todo
is the mysql module for php installed - todo check phpinfo() output
is error reporting enabled - todo set error_reporting to E_ALL
does a simple query such as show databases return any results
is query properly formatted and are variables properly replaced in php
version - todo check
I'd reckon that by the time you've checked all the above - you'll have
your own solution :)
regards!
Thanks Nathan!
I'm not sure what the problem was. I think I was tired and trying too
hard to solve an issue that didn't exist. I was thinking that
var_export($db_conn) would display MySQL Resource Id #1 or something
similar, but it was displaying NULL. I took out all my debugging code
and it's working fine now.

Yeah, I used it in my previous job a coupla years ago. It looks great, the marketing hype is well executed but as usual the reality is far from the promise. There are some aspects I really like, but mainly in concept. What you actually get is expensive extra bloat to install on your servers. * The bytecode cache can be replaced by one of several free solutions out there. * The job queue is a great idea but the implementation is problematic at best. Avoid this if you can. * The centralised logging and the alerting features are nice - this is probably the only but I really found useful. * The clustering features I did not use so didn't look at too closely, but it didn't appear to offer anything that couldn't be replicated pretty easily with open source tools. At the end of the day what you're buying is marketing hype, and there are people out there who fall for it hook line and sinker. My advice is that unless you have someone insisting you use ZP, don't. And even if you do I urge you to look at what you actually need from it and evaluate alternatives before making a commitment. Have you ever heard about Facebook, Yahoo or any other big player using it? Don't get me wrong, I think Zend is a great company, but I just don't see the value in ZP. For the price of the license you could add another server which will give you far better ROI and higher capacity then ZP could ever achieve. And don't get me started on what they've done to Zend Studio. I've switched to Aptana - same platform, but cheaper and a lot more stable. Shame! -Stut I agree with most of your post. The error logging features are great. I haven't used ZP for a while, but when I did it was nice to get an alert right away of what happened, and it also captured the variables in use at the time so that you could see why it happened. If the error reporting is what you're looking for, then the bytecode caching is a nice addition, but like you said there are OSS alternatives. I also completely agree with the Zend Studio comment. I've switched back to Zend Studio 5.5, because the Eclipse version was just so unintuitive... especially for debugging. -- Ray Hauge www.primateapplications.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I think you have to specify the page size when you create the $pdf

$pdf = new fpdi('P','pt','letter');
You might be able to use the FPDF_TPL::getTemplateSize() method to
figure it out dynamically somehow though:

It also looks like the useTemplate method might do some legwork for you,

If it's a big concern I would hazard a guess that a bar chart (for example) would cost less in terms of code required to build the image compared to JPGraph, and also less in terms of output (particularly if you were to use output compression). Another idea for dynamic graphing could be: http://solutoire.com/plotr/ It also uses the canvas element, but if you use excanvas for IE it'll work in most newer browsers.

This article talks more about ruby, but it could be about any non-enterprise language as well. http://lists.canonical.org/pipermail/kragen-tol/2005-April/000772.html I recently got a new job at a hospital, and the enterprise software they have is no where near as high quality as it could/should be. This is my first job at a somewhat large organization (500+ employees) so I was kind of shocked at the state of their software.

Or you can do it straight from MySQL, which is a lot faster:
SELECT [fields] INTO OUTFILE '/path/to/file.csv' FIELDS TERMINATED BY

WHERE [conditions]
If you want a header row, then you can use a UNION statement.

Like you said it's all subjective, but my opinion is to learn the basics first, then you can rely on your tools to take the mundane work out of the way for you. I'd still suggest using an editor with code completion though, because it will help you when you're trying to remember parameter orders or even function names to a point. After you feel comfortable with that, then you'll be able to understand what the program is doing for you and it won't be a black box that really is unsupportable. I find the best way to do that is to come up with some little program that you code up for fun to help get you through the learning stages.

Unfortunately it's not that simple. The equation sits in a DB and can be
anything - eg. ((([valuation]/[purchaseprice])/100)*100)/[numyears]
would be a typical field. [valuation], [purchaseprice] and [numyears]
gets replaced by relevant fields from user-entered data. But the system
is expandable which means I don't know what the equations, data or
fields are going to be beforehand.
I'm working on some kinda preg_replace function to sanitize the data at
the moment and then run an eval - arg I hate regexp! Ideally eval would
have some kind of sandboxing option, or you could limit the functions
available in an eval.
J
you might be able to leverage a call to expr on a bash sell. Just
replace the variables you're expecting with preg_replace or some similar
function.

just convert it to a timestamp with strtotime()
then you can manipulate it by adding/substracting

- 3600 for an hour
then convert back with strftime()

I believe you can also use strtoime()
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
$time = strtotime($inputTime);
$time = strtotime('-1 day', $time);
$outputTime = strftime('%Y-%m%d', $time);
I'm not sure which is more efficient, but it helps when you're looking

You could use FPDF and FPDI to just load up the one page:

Just use importPage($thePageNumberYouWanted);
code
$pdf = new fpdi('P', 'pt', 'letter');
$pdf-setSourceFile(self::PATH);
$tpl = $pdf-ImportPage(1);
$pdf-AddPage();
$pdf-useTemplate($tpl, 0, 0);
$data = $pdf-buffer;
$pdf-closeParsers();
header(Content-type: application/pdf);
header(Content-disposition: inline; filename=FileName.pdf);
header(Content-length: . strlen($data));
echo $data;
/code
I just realized that the version of FPDI I've been using is a little
old. There's a new update out, so some of the above code might change a

does it really matter? is there really difference or these are just two

The brackets are used to enforce that the entire contents between them
is a variable. It helps when you're using class members.
$example = this is an {$example-text};
It's also handy when you're putting variables in a heredoc.
I would suggest not using {$_POST[param1]}, like you said. It's
just going to make PHP figure out the string, then put the value in that
string. If you really wanted to make sure it's a string type then you
can do (string)$_POST['param1'].
The short answer is you can do it the way you're doing and everything
will work out just fine :)

[PHP] Closures
I've been reading up on some of the parts of PHP that has been suggested could be improved so that I could be more well informed. One of the more interesting (for lack of a better word) suggestions is closures. I've used closures primarily in JavaScript, and they are handy in that context, but JavaScript handles events and other more dynamic situations like that. I can't really think of any good examples of why I'd want to use a closure instead of just calling functions or class methods in PHP. Variable functions and call_user_func*() have worked for any of the cases where I did need to be a bit more dynamic. I found a great summary of some discussion on the internals mailing list over here: http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/2013#Heading1 After reading that article through, I do like Wez's idea of how to create anonymous functions. The point about it causing confusion with people coming from other languages definitely applies though. This article also gives me a second idea for this post. How many people would want closures in PHP? In summary: Would you want closures in PHP, and why? -- Ray Hauge www.primateapplications.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

if we were going to see support for anything anonymous that i would

I'm not sure if this would solve your problem (my lack of java knowledge
is showing), but you can create objects either by creating a new
stdClass() object, or by using (object)NULL. Example:
?php
$object = (object) NULL;
$object-test1 = 1;
$object-test2 = 2;
echo $object-test1 . \n;
echo $object-test2;
?
After trying to add a way to call a function from an object variable, I
have come to the conclusion that it's kinda ugly.
?php
$obj = (object) NULL;
$obj-test = 2;
$obj-myTestFunc = myTestFunc;
function myTestFunc () {
return test;
}
echo call_user_func($obj-myTestFunc) . $obj-test;
?
Does anyone have a link to some documentation about the stdClass? All I
could find was a bunch of bug reports and other stuff that wasn't what I
was looking for. I would have thought there'd be a page for it in the
manual, but I didn't find one there either.

Re: [PHP] Objects as array key names??
Jim Lucas wrote:
This question should probably be directed at the PHP Internals list, but
I thought I would start by asking here first if anybody would even use
this feature.
It has been brought to my attention that with Perl and Ruby, you can use
Objects as the value of the key within an array. The examples that were
shown to me make me think that this would be an awesome ability to have
within PHP.
Here is an example of how I would use such a feature.
I have a table of customers.
I have a table customers contact_locations.
This table has a reference ID back to the customers table.
Now, in my array of information that I build I have this.
$res = query('Select c_id, c_first_name, c_last_name FROM customers');
$customers = array();
while ( $row = fetch_assoc($res) ) {
$customers[$row]['contact_locations'] = array();
$SQL = SELECT *
FROM contact_locations
WHERE c_id={$row['c_id']};
$loc_res = query($SQL);
while ( $loc_row = fetch_assoc($loc_res) ) {
$customers[$row]['contact_locations'][] = $loc_row;
}
}
Now, contained within one array $customers I have all the information
that would be needed for displaying any type of information related to a
customer or a customers location.
By doing having this feature, I could build the ability to do xPath
searches within the base array. That would be nice.
Anyways, what do you all think? Worth it or not?
Jim Lucas
Maybe I don't get the new concept, but what would be wrong with:
// START CODE //
$cid = null;
$customers = array();
while ( $row = fetch_assoc($res) ) {
$cid = $row['cid'];
$customers[$cid] = $row;
$customers[$cid]['contact_locations'] = array();
$SQL = SELECT *
FROM contact_locations
WHERE c_id={$cid};
$loc_res = query($SQL);
while ( $loc_row = fetch_assoc($loc_res) ) {
$customers[$cid]['contact_locations'][] = $loc_row;
}
}
// END CODE //
Now you can easily reference all of your customers by ID and get any of
the data you want. I would actually just load the record I want from
the database and not chew up all that memory, but this is just an
example anyway.
I guess it could allow you to somewhat consolidate a two-dimensional
array down to a single dimension. In order to use the data, you'd have
to use array_keys() or something similar to use it though.
It's an interesting idea, but I don't know how practical it would be.

Thanks, Dan Dan, I can tell you that depending on the size of your files is going to dictate the route you want to go. I have a CSV with 568,000+ lines with 19 different pieces to each line. The files are around 180M apiece and it takes my server about 2 seconds to run a system grep against the files. I can run a recursive call 7 times against a MySQL database with the same information and it takes it about 4 seconds. IF you have system call ability, a grep wouldn't be bad, otherwise I'd suggest loading the csv files into MySQL tables and checking them for the information, then dropping the tables when you get the next files. You can backup the databases such as a cron job overnight even. HTH, Wolf If you do go the MySQL route, MySQL can import CSV files natively, and it'll be a lot faster than doing it through PHP. Just look up the syntax for the LOAD DATA INFILE command... or look here. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/load-data.html Here's an example: LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/importfile.csv' INTO TABLE test_table FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (field1, filed2, field3); I've had to do imports of a million or more records from CSV files, and PHP is a lot slower than MySQL at importing them :) -- Ray Hauge www.primateapplications.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I have been starting to use in_array more often as well. Far too many

Oh, it might also be a bit easier to store the acceptable extensions in
an array before the IF statement
$ext = $this-getFileExtension($file);
$acceptableExtensions = array('png', 'gif', 'jpg');
if ( in_array($ext, $acceptableExtensions) ) {

That way the conditional doesn't grow as more and more values get added.

We're a bunch of helpful and flippant sods on this list, so take the
criticism as constructive (trim your own sig file down and remove the white

As for automatic CVS via PHP, it depends on your take on it...
Eclipse has a CVS piece to it which seems to work well (I've installed it,
but most of my stuff is layered and I don't have a reason for CVS), though
someone also posted about cruisecontrol on the sourceforge site.
What have you found and tried via a google search?
Wolf
Maybe look at Phing[1]? Skimming over the docs (I know you said you
use CVS) I saw a task you can define to check files out form SVN.
There might be a cvs one somewhere or you could extend it and write
your own.
[1] http://phing.info/
Another option would be to write your own. If your requirements are
super specific, then that might be the best route. I can't imagine it
would be too difficult.
You can use shell_exec to execute the CVS checkout, and any other CVS
command necessary. Don't forget to use escapeshellcmd() either:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.escapeshellcmd.php
After it's checked out, then you can use shell_exec() again to run the
compile command. If it takes a long time, you might be best just
sending the command to the output so you can copy and paste and run it
yourself, or just make sure you set_time_limit(0), or some amount of
time it should finish compiling in.
I assume it's an internal app, so you wouldn't have to worry too much
about it looking pretty or any of the other time consuming operations.
?php
//
// NOTE: Paths are for Linux. Change for Windows as necessary
//
$cmd = escapeshellcmd('/usr/bin/cvs -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/.../cvsroot
checkout module');
$output = shell_exec($cmd);
// do something with output if you need
$cmd = escapeshellcmd('/path/to/module/configure');
$output = shell_exec($cmd);
echo done!;
?
Something like that anyway. That's overly simplified of course, but it
should get you a start if you want to write it yourself.

Re: [PHP] CVS Scripts

Google was my first stop but it didn't turn up anything which appeared to be in a stable enough state. Hence my email to the list to see if anyone else had come across such a solution. My application is built from several modules contained with cvs. Some of these modules are used across projects. I wanted to create my own web-based script to check these out of cvs and to build and configure the application on the fly. I had a look at cruisecontrol but its not really what I am looking for either. !-- SNIP -- You're probably going to have to code that sucker on your own and slide it in as a cron job on your build server to get the latest/greatest whenever needed. I haven't come across anything like it before, but I definitely like the concept. Wolf I had an idea to tie a ticket system with SVN. Each ticket would be associated to a change in the code. In the ticket system you put in the different revisions that were checked in for that ticket. Then when you go to promote the ticket for testing, it'll check and make sure that there were no conflicting changes and merge it if possible to the next branch. The details are a little fuzzy after a few months of not thinking about it. The XML output from SVN would come in quite handy at that point though. It would have been cool, but it would have been complicated. We didn't have the time to work on it. I think Trac is somewhat similar.

Now, if I need to transfer a file between B and C, I am unable to find a way that would work... because I don't know how to authenticate without SSH keys... I was gathering some data in B and C using PHP. Now, I need these two computers to coordinate a little and didn't want to use a server in between and so I was thinking of establishing a direct connection between them..

Thank You FYI... If you're using yum I assume it's a Linux machine (maybe Fedora) and not Unix. If you want to use rsync and scp in a cronjob (for continuous transfer at a predefined interval), you may need to set your server (read ssh) to accept connection without password. Ref : http://linuxproblem.org/art_9.html BUT If you really want to do that from PHP, you can install a web server and enable http as your stream for opening files. (In php.ini) You can read the file using fopen or any other file functions, then can write that file to the server on which script will be running, then you can set this script as your cron job. For example : $filecontents=file_get_contents(http://firstserver/file.txt;); $fp=fopen(path to local file, mode); Now use $fiiecontents to write the file using $fp resource. BUT remember, using rsync is always a better solution, and file_get_contents and file functions are resource hungry, specially they will consume more memory of your system. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php Well I haven't ruled our webserver and ssh but I don't have much options. Number 1 is that I have many such computers and I don't think I can afford to install a webserver on all of them atleast. And coming to SSH, I can't use it because of the scenario that I explained. Please let me know if you have any other advice. Thank You I second the NFS mounting. You can share a directory somewhere on computer A. Then computers B and C connect to it. That way with PHP you just copy the file to the shares, and computers B and C automatically see the file there. Outside of that FTP might work well for you. Maybe even SCP, since you already have the keys on server A (as long as you don't have a password when connecting to B or C). rsync can work over SSH as well, and you could create a simple script to run rsync as often as you need. haha, I guess that's not exactly seconding NFS, more seconding not transferring files over HTTP. -- Ray Hauge www.primateapplications.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

So, my question is how would I do that, and I strongly suspect if it's

Is this the case?
You would need to use mod_rewrite.
You might also be able to get this to work by changing the include_path
and creating a special loader script in their folder.
define('INCLUDE_PATH', 'YOUR PATH HERE');
ini_set(include_path, INCLUDE_PATH);
That way the application includes would still work if you didn't specify
absolute paths...
I have a few scripts that use the include_path, and they look something
like:
?php
require_once(../../set_include_path.php);
require_once(includes/utils/format.php);
require_once(includes/utils/ui.php);
//etc.
?
That way I just have the initial call to set the include path, and I
don't have to worry about it anymore.

Re: [PHP] Anyone jump from Studio 5.5.x - Zend Eclipse?
Steve Finkelstein wrote: Hi all, I've tried googling around to find some blogs with decent information on whether Zend Eclipse is mature enough to make the jump over from 5.5.x just yet. Admittedly, I've dropped Zend Studio as of late and been writing all of my code in TextMate -- but at the end of the day when a project is complex enough, Zend Studio is much more powerful than TextMate with all of its features and remote debugging capabilities. Anyhow, I'm curious if it's worth it to check out Zend Eclipse yet. We're a team of about 5-6 developers and I've been getting asked by a few colleagues if I've tried it out yet since I'm usually the one to try out the newer technologies. I'd love to hear some feedback. Thanks! /sf I've recently switched. On my machine (which hasn't been updated for a long time...) Eclipse runs a lot slower. I only have 1 GB of RAM. Zend Studio has been running faster for me after I turned off the SVN integration. I just use the CLI for SVN anyway. Sometimes in Eclipse it'll slow down so much that I have to slow down my typing. Mostly that's in CSS files. I don't know if it's Eclipse in general, but Shift+Tab rarely works, and it drives me nuts. I've tried to mess with the key bindings to no avail. Debugging is a lot slower in Eclipse. Some of the default key bindings in Zend Studio are different in Zend Eclipse as well, but that was somewhat expected and hasn't bothered me too much. I've been using the official Zend Eclipse now since the day it came out. Next week I'm going to switch back to regular Zend Studio. It was nicer on the RAM and for the most part Just Worked(TM). That's my experience.

Whoa there, you don't know what it's doing -- so

hmm that means you use only one user's info in the script. that's very
limiting.

No reason to be insulting. What I am calling

a pointer? So, there's nothing limited here about
what I'm doing. Think about it.
hey, no insult intended here... sorry if seemed so.
but, my point was exactly what you stated above. you say 'you don't know
what's being called' - that's the main problem I found with non-oop code
organization. with clearly defined classes every developer knows what he
calls without further explanation.
sure you can duplicate with procedural code anything my tons of classes
do... but above a certain project size it can easily become a
maintenance nightmare and an integration nightmare if there are more
than one developers. classes enforce some strict rules to everyone in
the team, so teamwork is much more efficient and the resulting codebase
is cleaner. I know from experience, as this project with the 400K lines
is a rewrite of the previous procedural version, which was developed and
maintained by a dozen of developers over the years, and it became such a
mess that none of us wants to touch it anymore...
Again -- the difference here is organizational
style. Everything you can do in your classes I
can do in my functions. Plus, you can have just
the same amount of screw-ups as I can when you
introduce more than one programmer and his style
into the mix.
I don't like the tone here -- it appears that
because I'm not agreeing with you that my code is
limited or of poor design -- because let me
assure you it's not!
So, let's just drop this -- you have your way and I have mine.
again, sorry for the tone if it was wrong - might be because I'm not a
native english speaker, or maybe because this is one of the craziest
fridays ever, I don't know. for sure, I didn't mean it.
and yes, let's drop this, I see I can't convince you.
anyway, I'm not an oop zealot, I just find it so useful and I tried to
explain my view of it - with absolutely no offense intended - so, happy
coding for you with your style and me with mine :)

That's pretty cool. I wasn't sure if it would work with numerically

// sillyFunc returns array(0=1, 1=2);
ArrayClass::create(sillyFunc())-{0}
I just tested it, and that works. If you leave off the curly braces and

In the example you provide it would be best to use a regular cookie.
Sessions are destroyed and garbage collected quite regularly, so you can
only count on the data being available while they are using your
application (during their session). With cookies you can specify an
expires date so that the information will be available tomorrow, next
week, etc.
You *could* increase the session cookie lifetime, but I wouldn't count
on the data being available through a session, especially if they close

I only had four days and they had particular requirements that ruled out Sugar or other things. I had never really understood what the MVC pattern really was.

After I finished the first wave of development on this project I finally had a chance to sit back and see the forest through the trees and sat back and thought damn... I just used MVC. If you're willing to shell out a few bucks, there's a pretty good book on design patterns for PHP. http://www.phparch.com/c/books/id/0973589825 You can think of design patterns more like classes you use with your code. They can help you achieve a goal, but they're not going to do everything for you. Maybe an even better analogy would be a really expensive set of knives. They're super sharp, so make sure you know what you're doing with them before you use them. There is also such a thing as too much. I heard a talk a while ago about code maintainability. The speaker mentioned a co-worker of his ran into his cube almost exhausted and proclaimed, I finally did it!. I used every one of the design patterns in my program! Just a few months later the speaker ended up being in charge of maintaining that program, and it was a nightmare. To make a long story short. I generally do what's easiest.

[PHP] Database Abstraction Idea
I've been working on a project that was started from scratch. I'm a
minimalist, so I like to keep things as simple as possible. I've been
using this idea for a database abstraction, and I thought I'd see if I
could get some constructive criticism.
Here is an example of how I use this first:
$table = 'customers';
// validation is handled before this
// the class also uses PDO, so escaping isn't a problem
$id = $_CLEAN['customer_id'];
$customer = DB::loadRecord($table, $id);
echo $customer-first_name; // Bob
echo $customer-last_name; // Jones
// etc.
$customer-first_name = 'Robert';
try {
DB::updateRecord($table, $customer)
} catch (e) {
// handle error
}
# END CODE
There are other methods as well. I used a static class to kind of
simulate a namespace. The database connection is handled elsewhere. I
didn't want to make a singleton and have to pass it around within
functions and stuff.
The methods are:
query_result query($sql) // for complicated reports mostly
DBRecord loadRecord($table, $id, $fields = null) // fields can be an
array of fields you want back. It always gives you an ID though
bool updateRecord($table, DBRecord $record)
DBRecord newRecord($table) // returns a blank record that can be
inserted later
bool insertRecord($table, DBRecord $record)
query_result find($table, $whereField, $whereOperator, $whereValue)
// whereOperator is basically an Enum
getFieldInfo($table, $field)
// returns the fetch_object of SHOW COLUMNS FROM $table LIKE $field
// For maxlength and other things in my UI class.
The DBRecord is basically the object representation of the table and
doesn't have to be all the fields. Example is
tableName-columnName
I'm pretty happy with how it's working now, but I'm concerned I might
have misses some sort of security issue. I only had a work week to
finish the entire project. We only have MySQL databases, so I didn't
need to abstract different types of databases or anything.

My suggestion is to write a throw-away app. That way you can learn
everything you need to, but it doesn't matter if it's not perfect. I
did the same thing just recently while learning C#. I made an XML

The only difference I'm seeing is you're assigning the
$row1['tableName'] to $table rather than $_SESSION['table']. Is that
intended? $table isn't defined in the top function, so it would most
likely return null.
Also, since you're only expecting one result, you could do away with the
while loop and just run $row1 = mysql_fetch_array($loginResult). It
would accomplish the same goal (nitpicking... sorry).
Also, why are there two return statements? The second will never run.
Maybe I missed something though.

I recognize that code, Jason! At least the base of it (and the
comments). ;-P
As well you should!
See in the first block how you're using $_SESSION? That's why
you're able to read it later because you have two return $xxx
lines in each function.
As soon as a function reaches a `return` statement, it returns
that data and exits, so the second `return` is never processed.
so the return $table; line doesn't ever get processed?
Is there anyway to make it get processed? :) I'm attempting to rewrite
code so I don't HAVE to use session variables... Hoping I can make it
work :)

You could return an array with string keys.

It also seems to stem from the teachings of St. Augustine (late AD 300s). Martin Luther eventually allowed polygamy after coming to the conclusion that there was no scriptural evidence that polygamy was wrong. Obviously that's no longer in effect though. It has also been allowed after certain wars to beef up the population again. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamy#Christianity I typically don't use wikipedia for sole sources, but everything else I could find was some religious site that was very biased.

I'm not sure how stable 5.2 is lately. I had heard of some issues, but they could have been from things most people don't do.

RE: [PHP] Ensuring that variable contains a number
I think that will only check for a digit value of some kind. It's not
going to check that $input is positive or if it is an integer. For
instance, it could be a negative float value as long as $input is
interpreted as a float and not a string. The period would throw it off
it it's a string. I'd have to test, but anyway you could do something
like this:
?php
function isPositiveInteger($input) {
$integer = floor($input);
$decimal = $input - $integer;
$returnVal = true;
if ($input 0) {
$returnVal = false;
}
if ($decimal != 0) {
$returnVal = false;
}
return $returnVal;
}
?
That should work. There might be a bug in there, but I'll leave that up
to people to test it ;)

code example shows the expected behavior of arrays in this case.
$arr = array(foo = bar, 12 = true);
echo $arr[foo]; // bar
echo $arr[12];// 1
Now, since each element can be indexed by either a string or an integer,
then you can do something like this:
$arr = array(1.2 = array(1,2,3,4));
$arr[0] = $arr[1.2];
That would set up your doubly indexed array so that you could use either
associative keys or numeric keys.

PHP.net can explain how references work better than I can. Basically it
creates a symbolic link (to use a *nix term) to the key 1.2. It

I forgot to mention that you won't be able to use 0, 1, etc. as PHP
will convert those to integers. If you do use them, then they will
replace [0] with whatever you put in there, and if you are using the
references, it will replace both instances with your new [0]

RE: [PHP] LDAP password question
Hello, I was actually wondering if the PHP implementation of an LDAP client encodes the password before being sent, or if it sends the password in plain-text. The most information I've got on this subject, so far, is from http://adldap.sourceforge.net/faq.php Q. Why am I getting poor performance with Windows 2003 Server? A. Microsoft figured out that plain text passwords aren't a good thing and tightened the security on Windows 2003 Server. The passwords floating around with 2000 server were all encrypted but there are some new timeout problems during negotiation (I think). Anyways, I've set another LDAP option in version 1.2 to force encrypted passwords, and it has resolved this issue. After looking through their source code, this information seems to be for modifying passwords or creating a user. I would assume that passwords are plain text without SSL when using ldap_bind().

It sounds more like you installed the Zend Platform with the developer's license that comes with Zend Studio.

[PHP] Frameworks
I know this subject has been covered in the past, but my question is why use them? I'm hoping to not create a religious war... I see that frameworks would probably help you develop some things faster, but most of the time they don't do the things the way I would want them to work. If I did use one, it almost seems like I would use it to get through something until I had time to do things the way I wanted/needed to do them. There's a lot of talk about frameworks lately, and especially the Zend Framework, so I'd like to look into what it's all about. I think I might be missing out the framework issue, so I'd like to hear other people's opinions. I do like the mail, pdf, and a few other parts of the Zend Framework.

RE: [PHP] Closing a connection to browser without exiting the script
Original Message Subject: [PHP] Closing a connection to browser without exiting the script From: David Négrier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, November 01, 2006 2:24 pm To: php-general@lists.php.net Hello there, I'm having a somewhat unusual question here, and I cannot find any way to solve it. I have a PHP page that displays a message, and then, performs a very long operation. Note that it displays the message first. I do not intend to give some feedback to the user when the operation is done. I've seen I can use ignore_user_abort() to prevent the user from stopping the ongoing operation, but that solves only part of my problem. Because as long as the page is not fully loaded, the mouse cursor in the user's browser is showing a watch. So ideally, what I would like is to be able to close the connection from the server-side, but without using the exit() function, so my script keeps running afterwards. I know I could use a system() call to launch another process to do the processing, but I would like to avoid doing that, because there are many variables in the context that I cannot easily pass in parameter. I also tried to use the register_shutdown_function() to perform my operation after the page is displayed but since PHP 4.1.0, the connection is closed after the function is called Would any of you have an idea on how I could close that connection? Thanks a lot, David www.thecodingmachine.com It's a bit different of an idea, but you could put your reqest to perform the operation in a text file in some directory. Then you have a seperate PHP script that checks that directory for any files that would tell it to operate. Then you tell Cron to run that script every minute, 10 minutes, whatever works best for you. With this idea you can write out the file and then tell the person that you have submitted a request. Then the cron job checks for the request and performs it. You could use a database instead of a file as well with the idea of a queue. That would probably work better, because then if you needed to you can keep track of which user's process was run, and then update the user table. Say the user table has a column processing with three possible values. 0 (not processed), 1 (in processing), 2 (finished processing). You could probably expand upon that idea quite a bit more if you need to. It's no single magic bullet function call, but that's how I'd probably do it.
