the conversion failed. Good idea? Of course NULL should be transparent in

Betreff: AW: AW: [PHP] PHP is Zero
Hi,
It gives up when it finds a non-numeric character (as the documentation
would tell you)
Why is PHP doing that? I know it works as designed and I know it is
documented like this but that does not mean that it is a good feature, does
it? So lets talk about the question: Is that behaviour awaited by PHP
software developers? Is that really the way PHP should work here? May we
should change that?!
BTW: I talked to some collegues and friends since my first post. They all
guessed that 'PHP' == 0 is false within a few seconds. I think the
weak-typed-PHP is a little to weak at this point.

Daniel

Re: [PHP] PHP is Zero
Just found out that MySQL uses the same implicit conversion precedence on SQL clauses. That shows me that possibly exists some higher order rule that states this consistency, and changing that is outside the scope of PHP.

I don't know what the actual reasoning is; if you want that I suggest you ask on the internals list, but be careful how you phrase the question. If it's pure curiosity then that's fine, but whether you agree with the reasoning or not it's gone way past the point where it can be changed. My take it that the behaviour is perfectly reasonable. When you compare two different types it has to convert one of them. If you're comparing a string to a number it seems logical to me that the number should be the preferred type, so the string gets converted. What would you expect array(5) == 5 to give you? Would you expect the 5 to be converted in to an array? No. The reason it looks odd for PHP == 0 is that there's no reason why the 0 should not be converted to 0, except that strings and numbers are not the only types available and there has to be an order of precedence. And consistency is key. As for how strings get converted to numbers I have no idea why it will take everything up to the first non-e|E|. character. The documentation[1] simply states the behaviour and doesn't go in to why. However, I have to ask why it matters? Why would you want to convert '8315e839da08e2a7afe6dd12ec58245d' to an integer? If you have code that's juggling it automatically, be more explicit. It's fine to be interested in the reasons why it does what it does, but if it's causing you problems then the issue is with your code not being explicit enough, not PHP. -Stuart [1] http://php.net/language.types.string#language.types.string.conversion -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] target question
With the header Content-Disposition: attachment the browser will
offer the response as a regular file download (with save/open
options). Your original page (menu) will remain intact.
Please note that this solution will not present the PDF directly to
the user (as it would with a popup window), instead he will need to
open the downloaded file in his computer.

All responses in this thread have been very nice; but you could also
try
a
much simpler 2-step check:
1. is_numeric
2. if true check if there's a decimal character in the string:
if(is_numeric($str) false === strpos('.', $str)) {
// it's an int for sure
} else {
// might be a number, but it's definitly not an int
}
Wrong. is_numeric will accept 1e1, which is a float, so you would need
to
check for e or E too.
- Matijn
Although in theory I agree, indeed any e* number is treated as a
floating point number. However, considering the exponent and the base are
forced to be integer numbers (due to exclusion of decimal points), in the
real number system, you will *always* end up with a natural number, i.e.
integer. Regardless of your input.
So as a result, the input could always be interpreted as an integer,
without any precision-loss using the method above.
- Tul
Except... that it might not fit in an 32 or 64 bit integer, which would
lead to precision loss.

Re: [PHP] variable type - conversion/checking
Something like if (is_numeric($var) $var == floor($var)) will do the trick. I don't know if there's a better (more elegant) way.

RES: [PHP] Re: User Timezone
Have you tried Google Timezone API? (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/timezone/) I don't know if it's free to use, probably not. You may note that you need user's longitude/latitude to query this API. A solution is to query Google Places API (https://developers.google.com/places/) based on the State name, or use the HTML5 Geolocation API (http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp, I won't recommend as AFAIK it is not stable, others could correct me).

I am hoping someone can help. TIA I have a form that a user must fill out in order to purchase anything. On this form they are required to put their city, state, country and zip code. These are all required fields. Now, I know there is a way to get a timezone offset if you have a location to offset. So is there a way based on the fields provided that I can get that offset for each user? (The users have to put a correct city, state, country and zip in order to get there purchase. This address has to match their paypal or cc address in order to purchase as well. So I know there will still be a margin of error with user manipulated info. So that is moot point for now.) My thoughts are to get a timezone offset based on the country and zip code, with a backup check of city state country zip. I just don't know where to start looking for how to get the timezone or UTC location based on country and zip or city state country zip. Hi Karl, so basically what you're looking for is a database map between timezone and country/state/zip. Did you try to google such a thing? One of the first posts I found was a StackOverflow question about this; one of the answers mentioned just such a database on Tom Boutell's website (the same person who created the GD library [used for image-creation in php]): http://www.boutell.com/zipcodes/ It includes states, cities, zip codes, etc. for the USA. Since you specifically mentioned you want to find it by state, it means you're mainly focussing on the USA (barely any other country even bothers with states). Apart from the above data, I'm sure you can find more on google. Good luck. - Tul -- 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
RES: [PHP] foreach
There is some cases that more code (and more cycles) is a good thing. For
example, a multi-layer architecture (like presentation, business and data
access) is more cpu-intensive than a single page doing everything in an
entangled procedural style, but is far more easy to evolve!
As Steven said, you need to use the right tool for the job. If you're going
to write some cryptographic API for mission-critical applications, or a
network protocol for games with extreme bandwidth demands, every =
matters, otherwise, better to stick with readability and separation of
concerns.

Here's what I ended up with after you gave me the advise:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM items);
$rows = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
$rows[] = $row;
foreach($rows as $row){
$product = $row['product'];
$price = $row['price'];
echo $product ;
echo $price ;
$justright = 0;
$toohigh = 5; //I was going to use this to check if the price was
too high
just so I could use an elseif in the
exercise, but
I realized that
it would only work if the if() evaluated to
false,
which would be
impossible. Ahhh pizz on it, it was fun
anyway! :-
)
if($justright = $price){
echo Not bad. I'll buy it.br /;
} else
echo Too expensive I'm going home LOL ;
}
It's a dumb script that makes no sense but I had a blast doing this.
When things start coming together like this, it gets so gratifying.

David,
Just putting this out there, but the use of a foreach() loop here, is
redundant...
You are putting your query results into an array, and then looping through
them after with the foreach(), instead of just using the while loop to loop
through them initially... so you're doing the same thing, twice, just using
the foreach() after the while.
One thing I was always told when I was learning c++ (my teacher was anal,
and always forced us to try and be more efficient), using = uses more cpu
cycles, than or , so when you're checking 0 = 0.1 true, false, you could
exchange your check to be 0 0.1 false, else true...
Also, setting the variable $product and $price, with the value from the
database $row['product'], would be less cycles than to just echo the
$row['product']...
That is just some $0.02... I wouldn't personally create more code, just to
try something out... use the right function for the job, write less code
than needed (sometimes, a little more code for readability is better
though), and most importantly... have fun.
One thing I do, is my coding and bracing style is something that Tedd
Sperling doesn't like (there have been many discussions about bracing
styles), I keep my braces all in line, and always use them in my if()s...
ie:
If($yourmom == $hot)
{
Echo MILF!;
}
Else
{
Echo Pass.;
}
And I do this for readability, so I can see if I forgot a brace somewhere,
and also, I always know that there are braces (with a 4space indentation, or
tab stops set at 4 space)
1 more point, doing multiline comments, use /* insert comment here */ and
not just //, and with that, I use inline comments with #, but that is just
me.
Overall though, I am glad to see you're learning, and having fun doing so...
Steve Staples.

RES: [PHP] Day after Friday
Independent of programming language, good teaching skills will lead to self-taught developers with a bunch of best practices under the hood. I hope you are such a good teacher =). We need not PHP or Java developers, we need good and creative designers that can adapt to new tools. One language is only a path among others with the same goal, software with quality. Remember Brooks (1986, yes, that old!), the real problem (essence of software engineering) is capture business requirements as specifications, and not translate specifications to software. The point is, you, as a teacher, has a wider responsibility, you need to find and incentive creative talents, not just teach one or another native function. Cheers.

Who the hell cancels a PHP class? Do they not realize damn near the whole internet runs on PHP? Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, Facebook ad nauseum, not to mention Symfony, CakePHP, Code Igniter, etc. Administrators! Ach! Paul Paul: The class was canceled by administration and they have absolutely no conception of the technology and scope that PHP brings to the table. In fact, they were so opposed to PHP that when I first started teaching there they had PHP removed from their servers because of security concerns. So, for me to teach PHP, they were forced to install PHP/MySQL. Now that you asked, here's the story about my PHP class. The college moved the entire CIT (Computer Information Technology) department five miles from the downtown campus, where it has always been, to the new West campus. It's a nice campus, but no Macs -- admin said Mac don't meet their ROI requirement, but that's another story. Of course, most students don't have transportation and there is no established public transportation from main campus to west campus -- that's not good. Knowing that the students were going to have problems with transportation and that would result in a reduction in class sizes, the administration agreed to allow smaller than normal classes for the Fall semester. Furthermore, the administration agreed to allow registration to be for a longer period than normal, namely from a couple of weeks before the semester started to a week after the semester started. Everything sounds ok, right? My PHP class had six students register two weeks before the class started. I expected, as is custom, to pick up a couple of students after the semester started thus exceeding the minimum number of student required. Furthermore, I agreed to teach the class at a reduced rate if there wasn't a sufficient number of students attending. BTW, administration had not made a determination as to exactly what the minimum class-size should be -- keep in mind, they only had two years to decide and these things take time. So what happened? Well we (the teachers) have a new contract and in that contract is a provision that allows for a reduced class size IF the teacher agrees to teach it at a reduced rate -- which I agreed to do. However, administration became confused as to how to pay a full time teacher IF they taught an undersized class. So, their solution was to cancel ALL under sized classes before the semester started. That way there would be no confusion as to what to pay. Now, in my case I am the only teacher to teaches PHP, so there would be no full time teacher that might teach it. I am also an adjunct (part time) teacher and as such there is no confusion as to my pay. I am simply paid hourly and a reduced class size would result in my rate being reduced. So, there was absolutely no reason what-so-ever for my class to be cancelled. Leaps and bounds of illogic. This is just another example of how administration makes decisions. It would be nice if administration decisions were made with respect to what is best for the student as compared to this type of nonsense.

RES: RES: RES: [PHP] Re: Need help to understand a code
When I said that it’s a form of documentation, I was saying that I think it’s
better to know everything the script is using from the tables right on the SQL
command, without the need to inspect all the code, for example:
SELECT * FROM a;
$values = some_fetch_array_thing
[…] bunch of lines of code
echo $values[“column1”];
[…] another bunch of code
echo $values[“column2”];
In my opinion it’s is easier to forget that column2 is being utilized by this
script, than if it was explicit in the SQL command. Of course, if the lifecycle
of the array fetched from the resultset doesn’t spread too much, there isn’t
any problem.
Besides that, I’ve got your points =). The “a.*” thing successfully beats the
join problem.
One last point: “Of course there are occasions where the database is updated
and breaks code, in which case specifying all the field names would potentially
avoid that”, we should only declare in the SELECT clause fields we’re actually
using along the script, and even if we go with the “*” way the code will broke
eventually with schema changes.

It's probably fine doing that for your example, as the content coming
from the database will be content you expect, but be wary of using it
on any of the user-generated arrays like $_GET, or $_POST.
And a few months/years later you decide to add a new column to your db
which has the same name as one of the variables you're already using
and the script starts acting very strange...
People should stop using bad coding habits like these..

there's nothing wrong with using * in queries.
--
Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
There are plenty of times that you need all fields from a table though. I go by
the rule that if I need less than two thirds of the fields of a table, then I
specify the fields I need, otherwise, it's easier to go with *.
I've looked at the link you posted. The join issue is too broad. I use * with
joins, but avoid the conflicts by specifying the table name, still going by the
⅔ rule above on a table by table basis. Of course, if there are tables used in
the join that are not necessary to the actual output, I won't include them in
the list, but I may do something like this:
SELECT a.a, a.b, a.c, b.*
FROM a
LEFT JOIN a on a.a = b.a
I would say that if you're in the position of writing the queries then you
should be aware of the database schema, so using the query as a form of
documentation shouldn't be a factor. Of course there are occasions where the
database is updated and breaks code, in which case specifying all the field
names would potentially avoid that, but procedures should be in place which
would at least make you aware of such updates to allow you to plan

RES: [PHP] Highlight Search Results
If you're dealing with a high amount of search data, I highly advise you to use something like SOLR.

RES: [PHP] fets() escaping some characters
This issue has to do with HTML markup. You need to properly escape characters before sending them as text to the browser. Try to use this PHP function to escape your string: echo htmlspecialchars($yourstringhere); Regards, Samuel. -Mensagem original- De: sunil meena [mailto:sunil.extc2...@gmail.com] Enviada em: terça-feira, 11 de setembro de 2012 14:49 Para: php-general@lists.php.net Assunto: [PHP] fets() escaping some characters Hello Everyone, Very new to the list.

Re: [PHP] syntax error breaking in and out of php into html code
Maybe you have a ? inside the HTML code and your php configuration allows short open tags? In production that setting could be disabled.

As soon as I comment out those it runs fine, albeit without the content that code was intended to add. Let me guess, line 356 is the last line of the file? That error is only caused by mis-matched braces, so the code you are deleting *must* contain either an errant opening brace or be missing a closing brace. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/ It is the last line of the file, but it's not caused by a mismatched brace. I've tested by deleting just the code in the section where it breaks out of PHP and it runs without errors. It's a very weird issue, because this is code that is currently working on another server (which I don't have access to to match my own setup) -- Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

[PHP] PHP OpenSSL - Problem with openssl_pkcs7_verify
Hello,
I'm having some trouble trying to put the openssl_pkcs7_verify function to
work.
I have a file signed with a valid certificate with this software:
http://www.signfiles.com/p7s-signer/ http://www.signfiles.com/p7s-signer/
What I'm trying to achieve is to extract the contents of the signed file
inside PHP. This is what I've got looking to php.net documentation:
$path = fullpath/filename.p7s;
$results = openssl_pkcs7_verify($path, 0);
//$results = openssl_pkcs7_verify($path, PKCS7_BINARY); same problem
//$results = openssl_pkcs7_verify($path, PKCS7_TEXT); same problem
echo Verification results: . $results;
while ($msg = openssl_error_string()) {
echo \n . $msg;
}
When I execute this piece of script the following output is echoed:
Verification results: -1
error:02001003:system library:fopen:No such process
error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file
error:0B084002:x509 certificate routines:X509_load_cert_crl_file:system lib
error:0B065068:x509 certificate routines:BY_FILE_CTRL:loading defaults
error:0D0D20CC:asn1 encoding routines:SMIME_read_ASN1:no content type
This is the php -version output:
PHP 5.4.5 (cli) (built: Jul 18 2012 22:25:51)
Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies
I'm on Windows 7 64 bits operating system, the binary is the latest stable
build available today on php.net.
Could someone please suggest what else can I try? Tried to google
SMIME_read_ASN1:no content type but nothing so far.
