Re: [PHP] Help with this- pointers
The $foo-bar() syntax is actually object references in PHP, not pointers. See the docs in the php manual regarding objects in PHP.

[PHP] Broken ip2long and long2ip?
It appears that the integer type being used by these functions is not able to store the entire 32 bits (4 bytes). It can only handle up to 31 bits - my guess is the type is signed when it should be unsigned. In any case,I'm running PHP 4.0.5 on Linux 2.4.3 on an x86 machine. I would appreciate it if a someone can verify this before I submit it as a bug.

Re: [PHP] PHP's OO is bad?
His series of articles (top php programming mistakes) is great, and
I've heard good things about his PHP Cookbook but Hughes is way off
here. There is some additional overhead with OO code but there is *very*
little difference in speed (less than 5% in synthetic benchmarks, and
much less in more complex php code) - certainly not the signigicant slow
down that he claims.
IIRC, later in the article series, Hughes admits he isn't an OO fan, so
he's probably a bit biased. Maybe he knows of some case where OO PHP code
runs really slow, but since he doesn't present any data to back up his
claims I suspect he just guessed that OO PHP would be slow (ie - he made
it up!).
I don't use OO for everything I do, but if the project is going to be over
1000 lines or so, I find OO code easier to maintain. YMMV.
For testing, I used two simple test files that both printed hello
world five times. I did the benchmarking with ab (apache
bench). The OO one:
?php
class bench {
function test () {
print hello world!;
}
}
$bo = new bench;
$bo-test();
$bo-test();
$bo-test();
$bo-test();
$bo-test();
?
The non-OO version is the same, but without the class stuff. The non-OO
version averaged 580 req/s, while the OO version averaged 550 req/s. This
was on a 600mhz pIII with 256megs of ram running Apache 1.3.19 and PHP
4.0.5 on a Linux 2.4.3 kernel.

Sean

Re: [PHP] protecting video files
which works fine until I add this at the top
if($HTTP_REFERER != http://www.hardcorehosting.com/video/test.html;)
{
exit();
}
Check to make sure $HTTP_REFERER is being set. Just create another script
that has something like:
?php
print Referer: $HTTP_REFERER\n;
?
Then create a link to this new script from the test.html page that you're
trying to show the movie from.
Good luck,

Re: [PHP] Hidden Input and Quotes?
So my question is, should I (or, really, can I) encode it? My thinking is I
want to encode it with the htmlspecialchars() function... however,
eventually, all the data within the Hidden Input Boxes will be stored into
my mySQL database, so I'll want to decode it before I send it (restoring the
quotes)... is there a way to decode the htmlspecialchars() function?
I ran into almost exactly the same problem. I was about ready to break
down and hack out a regex when I came across the
get_html_translation_table() function. This function lets you get the
translation table used for the htmlspecialchars and htmlentities
functions. So, for example:
function my_htmlspecialchars ($string) {
$trans_table = get_html_translation_table (HTML_SPECIALCHARS);
return strtr($string, $trans_table);
}
This uses the strtr (STRing TRanslate) function to do the translation and
does exactly the same thing as php's native htmlspecialchars(). To
reverse things (replace the special chars with normal chars), we just need
to flip the $trans_table around
function strip_htmlspecialchars ($string) {
$trans_table = get_html_translation_table (HTML_SPECIALCHARS);
$trans_table = array_flip($trans_table);
return strtr($string, $trans_table);
}
There ya go :)

Sean

Re: [PHP] verify phone number
I am looking for code to verify a phone number has been entered correctly on
a form field. Requirements would include the area code: xxx-xxx-.
You should use a regex for this. Something like...
if (ereg ([0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}, $number)) {
print good\n;
} else {
print bad\n;
}
The regexp breaks down like this:
[0-9]{3}[0-9]{3}[0-9]{4}
(three numbers)-(three numbers)-(four numbers)
I didn't test the code above, so let me know if it won't work for you.

Re: [PHP] help with classes
So how does one correctly assign a variable to a variable inside a class withot
doing something like:
var $bar = '';
$this-bar = $foo;
That's how you have to do it.
class MyClass {
var $bar;
// This is the class's constructor
sub MyClass () {
$this-bar = $foo;
}
}

Re: [PHP] PHP, MySQL and XML
Well, you're going to have to come up with a datamodel for storing the parsed data. You can parse RDF files with the XML extension, see the docs at http://www.zend.com/manual/ref.xml.php There are some classes on phpclasses.upperdesign.com which will handle RSS files - you can probably look at these to get an idea of how to use the XML module to parse RDF.

RE: [PHP] HTTP compression
Alain,
When PHP parses a file, it treats the stuff that's not in ?php? blocks
as though each line were a print or echo statement. So your whole file
will be compressed and sent to the browser.

Rasmus,
Thanks for the clarification; it seems obvious, too, that mixing compressed
and non compressed content would be quite difficult to implement; at least
it would partially compromise the speed/size gain because of added protocol
overhead.
Now, imagining that we have enabled compression by calling
ob_start("ob_gzhandler"), what happens for a document that contains
something along these lines:
!-- snip --
...
?
// Enable HTTP compression
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
// PHP content
$content = "This is some content.";
?
divThis is a normal HTML section/div
?
// PHP content continues
$content .= "And the rest of it.";
echo $content;
?
...
!-- snip --
In this particular case, what would be compressed ? As far as I have
understood, nothing at all, because some part of the output is not "passing
through" PHP, right ?

Objet : Re: [PHP] HTTP compression
I've just started experimenting with ob_start("ob_gzhandler") a
bit, and I
have found that if any output is generated before ob_start() is called,
nothing at all gets compressed; if ob_start() is called before
any output,
everything is compressed.
Is this the case, I mean, is this "by design" ?
Yes, it wouldn't really work any other way. You can't mix non-compressed
and compressed in the same request.

Re: [PHP] I should apologize
I don't mean to bash php in any way (as in the Ruby plugs in my last post). I use it because it has so many advantages over other more system-oriented not web-oriented languages for this type of work. It's fantastic. I don't think anyone will take offense to your mentioning the advantages of another language (especially another open source language). PHP definately has it's worts and there's no point in sticking our heads in the sand and pretending they are not there. I see so much enthusiasm on the web for this language, a significant codebase, feature list (I'm not sure, but does ASP generate SWF files, PDF files, support IMAP, etc), and it has a lot of great developers dedicated to it. But we need to be constantly self-critical, or we won't see areas we can improve in. Exactly. If the volume of this list is any indicator, I'd say PHP has grown quite a bit in the past six months. I also feel it's good to know more than one language, so you get more than one approach and you're more adaptable to situations that PHP (or whatever your language of choice may be) can't work in. Definately. Knowing Java or C will change the way your write code in Perl or PHP (and vice versa). I've written code in everything from ASM to toy scripting languages (by "toy scripting languages", I mean the small embedded scripting languages found in some applications - not PHP) and I'm a better programmer because of it. (Ruby does look very cool...I need to pick up the "Pragmatic Programmers Guide to Ruby" - the guys that wrote it also wrote "The Pragmatic Programmer" which is a great book.)

Re: [PHP] E-mail valid
Does anyone have a function that tells you weather a variable holds a valid e-mail address or not? It depends on what you mean by "valid email address". For example, I can enter "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which looks valid, but doesn't exist. You can take things a step further and lookup the domain and make sure it exists. Even then, I can enter "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which will pass the lookup check. You can go even further and send me an email message with a "key" which I must enter in order to prove that the email address I gave is valid. Even so, it is easy to create a throw-away account at hotmail or another free email provider. Anyway, there is a class on phpclasses.upperdesign.com that does a good job of checking an address.

Re: [PHP] [php] - alphabetizing
Ray,
You could create an array where the keys are the person names and the
values are the strings. For example:
$people_strings = array ("joe" = "bar", "andy" = "foo");
ksort($people_strings);
reset($people_strings);
while (list ($key, $value) = each ($people_strings)) {
print "$key - $value\n";
}
That should print out:
andy - foo
joe - bar
The ksort is the magic part, it sorts arrays by their keys.

Re: [PHP] XOR data encryption
