Re: [PHP] How to get input from socket client
Thanks for your reply First, I don't think feof() will do what you think it does. I wouldn't expect it to show up until after the other end has actually closed the connection. I found unread_bytes in stream_get_meta_data should be more reliable TCP is a stream protocol, there are no guarantees about delivering a complete message in one read, or that two writes won't be read together. It only guarantees that all octets will eventually be delivered in the same order they were sent, or you will get an error. thanks 4 pointing out the difference between tcp and udp, I had learnt a lot ^^ The other problem has to do with thinking an fread() will always give you everything you sent in an fwrite() Interestingly, I use 'telnet 127.0.0.1 1037' for testing later(on windows) and everything works, the php server got the input from telnet client, so I assume there is something wrong in the php client, the fwrite statement... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Would this be better ...
abstract class baseValidate() {
final public function __construct($params) {
// Determine if user is active.
// If OK, then call abstract function postConstruct($params)
}
abstract function postConstruct($params);
}
You can't override the constructor, so the validation will always be
called. The developer's can implement their own postConstruct as if
they where extending __construct.

For instance, I can set the calendar on my cell to ring my phone to alert me to events (my preference over email reminders for important events because I sometimes get flooded with email.) Your scripts could generate the files containing event info and then automatically start the download. This allows the users to determine the mode of alarm that works best for them in their native calendar app, and you're still greatly facilitating the process by providing all of the info so they merely have to drag and drop for many apps.

why would you want to, is there a technical reason for wanting magic
functionality instead of normal functionality (+ wouldn't it make the
code much easier to maintain and debug if developers can see what is
called where, instead of just magic).
to answer though, you're best bet is probably to make an abstract class
with magic functionality and then extend with an implementing public class.
abstract class MagicUser
{
public function __call($name, $args)
{
//validate user
$this-_validate();
$this-_{$name}($args);
}
private function _validate()
{
//
}

Ahhh, so you start to see the problem, eh?
Let's look at the problem again (a vote collection problem):
Array 1
(
[1] = 75
[2] = 31
[3] = 31
[4] = 31
[5] = 40
)
Array 1 is an array that contains the count of votes ($votes[] ) for the
index. IOW, index 1 received 75 votes.
Array 2
(
[1] = Personal Email
[2] = Personal Phone
[3] = Web site
[4] = Text Message
[5] = USPS mail
)
Array 2 is an array that contains the names for the items ($items[] ) voted
upon. As such, index 1 (Personal Email) received 75 votes.
Now, I have this data in two different arrays and I wanted to combine the
data into one array and then preform a descend sort.
This is the way I solved it:
$final = array();
for($i =1; $i =5; $i++)
{
$final[$i][] = $votes[$i];
$final[$i][] = $items[$i];
}
echo(pre);
echo('br');
print_r($final);
echo('br');
array_multisort($final, SORT_DESC);
echo('br');
print_r($final);
echo('br');
echo(/pre);
I was hoping that someone might present something clever.

So I'm providing a URL like http://www.mydomain.com?h=300w=250username=namepassword=password The idea is they can define their own height and width and it plugs in as an iframe. That takes the username and password and throws it over web services to get back the data from which we can create the map. My question (and it might be the wrong question) is how can I not give away the password to all and sundry yet still provide a self-contained URL? MD5() (or SHA()) hash the information and supply that along with the settings. Then you know it was generated by your site. So you can do the following: ?php $height = 300; $width = 250; $username = 'username'; $key = md5( SECRET_SALT-$heigh-$width-$username ); $url = http://www.mydomain.com?h=$heightw=$widthusername=$usernamekey=$key;; ? Then when you get this URL via the iframe, you re-compute the expected key and then compare it against the given key. Since only you know the SECRET_SALT value then nobody should be able to forge the key.

[PHP] create archive file in memory with zipArchive class
I want to generate credential zip file for user on the fly with
zipArchive and render it for download, so I created following code
-
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$filename = '/tmp/xxx.zip';
if ($zip-open($filename, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)!==TRUE) {
throw new Exception();
}
if($zip)
{
$zip-addFromString('xxx.xx', $fileString);
}
$zip-close();
$fileString = file_get_contents($filename);
unlink($filename);
$this-getResponse()-setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/zip');
$this-getResponse()-setHeader('Content-Disposition','attachment;filename=xxx.zip');
$this-getResponse()-setBody($fileString);
-
it works, but I think creating the file in memory is a better
approach, so I changed the 2nd lineI(using php 5.2.0) to
$filename = 'php://temp/xxx.zip';
then the php just won't archive the file and the file downloaded is
just a plain text file.
so
question 1, how to create zip Archive file in memory on the fly and
download it (I don't have to save it on disk)?
question 2, if there is no way to create in memory, is it safe to just
unlink() the file?
thanks in advance.

Custom written shopping cart - quite simple actually. However we have a concern when it comes to calculating the shipping cost for an order. For each product we can determine the base cost based on weight, therefore we can determine the total weight of an order. However we are struggling to determine how to calculate the shipping based on where the delivery is going. In terms of DB and PHP would the best way to calculate it be done by having a list of countries to ship to and a rate for each? Then you can apply the rate to the current order (calculate according to the order weight). Problems arise when shipping to different parts of a country EG: New York vs California (quite far apart). Perhaps we should have a list of cities but that could be massive? I know there is a PHP class / system that integrates with UPS but I don't think the client is going to use UPS. Perhaps you can tell me how you have handled this issue in the past. Apologies if it is slightly off topic but it does still relate to PHP indirectly. I'd start with defining shippingcost 'sets', each defining a number of costs by weight bands, some 'table defs': set: - id name set_bands: -- set_id upper_weightcost then it would be a case of linking (many-to-many relation) 'regions' to sets, if you approach this with a tree of regions you can effectively set values at a continent, country, state/province level ... as such you would only need to relate a 'shippingcostset' to a state if the shippingcosts are different to the given country's shippingcosts. world - north america - california - south america - europe - france - UK then your left with the problem of determining the smallest defined region a given address physically falls into .. using geo-spatial magic in the DB would be one way to do it. this is a hard problem (unless, maybe, the client is willing to sacrifice precision and instead using highly averaged shipping cost definitions to cover the real differences in costs - i.e. a fixed fee for all of europe, whereby such fee is just above the average real cost the client pays for shipping). my guess would be that building such a thing is hard, and would take lots of time ... best bet is to hook into the webservice of whatever shipping company the client intends to use ... even if you have to build your end of the webservice from scratch it will be many factors less hard that building a user-manageable, shipping cost algorythm. - sorry it's all a bit vague, I'm very tired :) my eyes are starting to bleed.

A 1 second wait IS noticeable and a 10 second is even moreso -- just try to talk for 10 seconds straight without a pause. Or sit there and stare at a screen for 10 seconds! If the main argument is that it's to prevent white-space after the code, then most modern editors that I'm aware of will automatically trim white-space (or have a setting to do so). Plus this is ONLY a factor when you're trying to output a header and things like that. In 90% of your code, you don't deal with that. It's also obvious enough when you have an extra character/space because PHP pukes on the screen and TELLS you something about blah blah sent before header output or something to that effect.
