Re: [PHP] Array / form processing
Ron Piggott schrieb:
I am writing a custom shopping cart that eventually the cart will be
uploaded to PayPal for payment. I need to be able to include the option

# Gift Certificate: 1 is a gift; 2 is personal use
if ( $gift_certificate == yes ) {
$gift = 1;
} else {
$gift = 2;
}
$_SESSION['life_coaching_order'][$product][$gift]['quantity'] =
$_SESSION['life_coaching_order'][$product][$gift]['quantity'] + 1;

Now I need to display the shopping cart contents. I want to do this

loop:
===
foreach ($_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] AS $coaching_fee_theme_reference

What I need help with is that I don't know how to test the value of $gift
in the above array if it is a 1 or 2 (which symbolizes this is a gift
certificate).
I have something like this in mind:
if ( $_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] == 2 ) {
But I don't know how to access all the components of the array while I am
going through the FOREACH loop.
By using a 1 or 2 I have made gift certificates their own product. If
you a better method I could use please provide me with this feedback.

First at all, I wouldn't use 1 or 2 for defining important informations.
use something like
define('ORDER_GIFT', 1);
define('ORDER_PERSONAL',2);
If you want to check all values of your array you can use several
foreach loops like
foreach ($_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] AS $coaching_product = $tmp_array)
{
foreach ($tmp_array as $coaching_gift = $tmp_array2)
{
switch ($coaching_gift)
case ORDER_GIFT: break;
case ORDER_PERSONAL: break;
)
}
}
Personally I would prefer writing a class like
class Order
{
private $product;
private $gift;
private $quantity;
const ORDER_GIFT=1;
const ORDER_PERSONAL=2;
function getGift() {
return $this - gift;
}
}
using
$_SESSION['life_coaching_order'][] = new Order();
foreach ( $_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] as $order )
{
switch ( $order - getGift() )
case ORDER_GIFT: break;
case ORDER_PERSONAL: break;
}

[PHP] Does class length slow down performance

The helper class is for static use only. Does class size decrease performance of my php scripts, even for static usage? Is there a general rule when to split a class to keep performance up? Thanks for reply, Sebastian How big roughly are we talking here? The larger a script or class is, the more memory this uses per instance. Out of the box, PHP doesn't have a way to share the memory space of libraries and classes, so creating massive scripts for a website is not a great idea. The user object contains 850 Lines and about 50 functions. It also implements 2 table-objects (DB Tables). The helper class contains 500 Lines. The typical approach is to break classes down into blocks such that you need only include per script what you actually need to run that script. For example, having a full class dedicated to user management would need somewhere to create a list of users. Now it doesn't make sense to include this user management class each time you want to create a list of users, so you could split that method off into a different class where it can easily be shared without every script loading in lots of unnecessary code. Thats exacty the point. In my user class I have functions whitch return object-lists of diffrent users or strings with html-form elements for managing this user account. But if I put all these in a helper class I would anyway need to implement the user object there, because of the other getter functions (getUserName etc.) and the table-objects. I always thought this would be less effective, because I have more instances of objects.

There is not enough room in this e-mail to cover the basic and intermediate practices of OO design but it sounds like you may need to re-think your design. Does this class do one thing and only one thing? Does it do it really well? Thanks for your advice. I know that I have to go much deeper into programm design. I would appreciate if you could send me some links with practial examples. I've only read some theoretical and very general stuff about it and cannot link everything to the real world. Just from what I am reading I see that we have a user class (getUserName) and that class returns lists of users? It sounds as if to me that the user class talks not only about a single user, but perhaps all of the users (object lists of different users). That was just to generalize things. My user class only returns informations for one user. These informations are values of db-fields or generated html strings. But other classes like my message class have functions that return lists of instances of their own class. From what you've written I think its better to extract these functions into helper classes. But if you want to get all messages that refer to one specific msg its better to leave that function in the message class, isn't it? Or if you want to get a list with all friends of a specific user?(friends are not implemented yet) On the surface that sounds like to classes to me, a user class and a class to manipulate said users. But back to my first Problem: Is a class with 850 lines to long? If it is should I take all the html genarating functions and put them in a helper class? If I do so and there is no way to call those functions without initalizing the main user object, will there still be an increase of performance?

No, I don't think there will be problems. I also think the only way you'll ever find out whether it *will* be a problem in your system is by testing.

[PHP] stream_set_timeout issue with ssl connection
Hello everyone,
i have an issue with stream_set_timeout and ssl.
I've written a php irc newsbot and my code looks like this:
[...]
while (!feof($con['socket']))
{
stream_set_timeout($con['socket'],
$CONFIG['qtime']);
[...]
I need this timeout because i want to read the news every X seconds from
the Database.
I use
$con['buffer'] = trim(fgets($con['socket'], 4096));
to get the data. If i don't use the stream_set_timeout the bot would
wait until it recieves data.
In fact this solution works, but only if i connect with fsockopen to a
non ssl connection.
If i use a ssl connection steam_set_timeout seems to be ignored.
Any clues or workarounds?

[PHP] Re: Help with OOPHP
Dear Andrew,
I think normaly it isn't possible to use another class in a class, without
using extends. But you should use your array as a container. After you use
as a container, you can make new instance into a array field.
Now you can use the content of the container to administrate the instances
of the complete class. I just changed some things at your example. Please
have a look and ask if you have any questions.
?php
class fruitBasket ext
{
private $fruits = array(); //this is a class Container
public function addFruit($newFruit)
{
$this-fruits[] = new fruit($newFruit);
}
public function makeAllApples()
{
foreach($this-fruits AS $fruit)
{
$fruit-changeName(apple);
}
}
public function showAllFruits()
{
foreach($this-fruits AS $fruit)
{
echo $fruit-showFruit().br;
}
}
}
class fruit
{
private $name;
public function __construct($name)
{
$this-name = $name;
}
public function changeName($newName)
{
$this-name = $newName;
}
public function showFruit()

}
}

I'm not sure if you can do this, but i'm trying to create a class that is
build of another class. I also want to be able to do functions on the
class1 from within class2.
example:
class fruitBasket{
private $fuit = array(); //this is a class
public function addFruit($newFruit)
{
$this-fruitBasket[] = $newFruit();
}
public makeAllApples()
{
foreach($this-fruit AS $value)

Hi there,
I'm trying to execute function variables. This works fine outside class
code, but gives a fatal error when run within a class. The demo code is
here:
?php
function bar1 () {
echo Yep, in bar1() right now\n;
}
function foo1 () {
bar1();
$a = bar1;
print_r ($a); echo \n;
$a();
}
class foobar {
function bar2 () {
echo Yep, in bar2() right now\n;
}
public function foo2 () {
foobar::bar2();
$a = foobar::bar2;
print_r ($a); echo \n;
$a();
}
}
foo1();
$fb = new foobar ();
$fb-foo2();
?
The error message reads:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function
foobar::bar2() in /home/paul/demo/demo.php on line 25
Is there anyone out there who can explain what's wrong in this code?

Hi, we have been using the following codes on our site for a year and I wanted
to know if these codes are just spaghetti or its actual usable code. I know it
can be bettered a lot I just need opinions if the codes can be used a while
more until we reprogram everything as a complete CMS system.
Thanks a lot! my superiors want to know because there is another coder that
says these codes are just spaghetti.
There is more codes but i am able to access the database fine and everything
else. Of course the codes can be bettered but i dont believe its just
spaghetti! I used these codes because there was no need to reinvent the

Hi, I do prefer the first style programming after longer time in programming PHP. I like the idea of keeping HTML and PHP code separate for cosmetic purpose as well as mantainance. Actually a code with PHP only, I mean really with NO HTML code in it, is more portable and easy to mantain. As for performance I don't know, but a difference is present for sure.

[PHP] R: [PHP] Re: Performance question
Hi, actually I think that if you have performance problem is when you make the calculations and process. If you make processes while giving output to the client, you might have some problems whether being somehow output buffering dependant... I would rather leave the output management as final step, concentrating all the process in the first part hidden and not involved into the parsing of HTML code (useless). I rather prefer the approach of data entry/input - process - output instead of data entry - output while processing especially when the performance of process is critical.

session_unregister('client');
I clear everything.
session_unregister('address');
doesn't clear this session.
session_unregister($_SESSION['client']['address']);
doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong?

Change the logon script. The cookies of each frame are loaded separately, so if you want the session to be active in all the frames, at least once you got to reload them. The easiest way, I think, is to change the logon script: put it on a main page and once the user is logged in, create the frameset. The session will be available in all the frames.

Additionally, it's fairly easy to make such code backwards compatible with PHP4, if you feel the need to do so. so i am 'afraid' of going with php5 in fear it will break my website.

[PHP] which operating system?
I will be building a new server and wondering what would be a good choice for php/mysql/apache other than redhat. I was thinking either Debian or CentOS. can anyone share their thoughts on them for php environment? does anyone use them on high traffic php sites? or is there not a difference in what distro you run php on? sorry these may sound like stupid questions but i mostly used redhat since i started using php and thought i'd try something different. thanks. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

The Content-disposition header is a made-up bull-crap thing that came
about with html enhanced (cough, cough) email.
If you want *EVERY* browser to download something, forget this header and
use:
header(Content-type: application/octet-stream);
The Content-disposition will, on *SOME* browsers, on *SOME* OSes appear to
be useful for getting the filename in the dialog prompt for Save As...
to be the filename you want.
Unfortunately, it does *NOT* work universally.
If you want a UNIVERSAL solution, make the URL look like it's a static
URL and have the filename you want to be used appear at the end of the
URL.
Converting dynamic to static-looking URLs is covered in many places.
Google for PHP $_SERVER PATHINFO
Under no circumstances should you be using headers like audio/mpeg if
you want me to download it -- I guarantee my browser will open that up in
an MP3 player. Many other users will also have been led through the
process to make that happen.
But if the browser doesn't download application/octet-stream it's a very
very very broken browser.
if i don't use Content-disposition IE downloads the file as unknown
(mp3, exe, or otherwise) with no extension and the names the file you
are downloading becomes the name of the script that was called. lol?
can never win with IE ..

I'm afraid you missed the original point of the question. His problem
was that Apache does not display the ErrorDocument if PHP sends a 404
status header.
This behaviour is by design (Apache checks to see if the PHP script
handling the request exists; it does, so Apache does not display the
ErrorDocument)
What I would recommend is to send the 404 header and then include()
the ErrorDocument as specified in Apache's config.
Jasper
yeah sorry, i must of deleted the original topic and all i had was the
followups..
anyway, what do you want, the cake and eat it too?
why two types of 404's?
i mean you either use ErrorDocument or use php headers..
i guess i dont understand why use both..
to send 404 header and then display a custom document you might as well
use the ErrorDocument in apache, it would be the same affect.
might as well set ErrorDocument in apache to point to a php file and do
whatever you want in the php script.. like send more 404 headers..

[PHP] strip out too many newlines
im working on a comment/forum app and when a user enters too many
carriage returns i want to remove them before insert to db.
example, user input:
-snip-
[quote=user]
foo
[/quote]
bunch of extra lines
more text...
-snip-
I to change to:
[quote=user]foo[/quote]
more text...
i try this regexp:
$message =
preg_replace('#(\[quote(=(quot;||\'|)([^\]]*)\\3)?\])\s+#i', \\1\n,
$_POST['message']);
doesn't remove / replace anything.
I need for it to work when they use [quote=xx] or [quote] and ends with
[/quote]
any help?

Re: [PHP] strip out too many newlines
thanx for the reply, but 1 problem. there is not only \n there are \r in
the POST too (carriage returns) so a string can look like this:
$string = '[quote=xx]\r\nfoo\r\n[/quote]\r\nmore text\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n';
and your regexp will only catch if there is just \n
any solution for \r\n in combination too?

[PHP] define (true/false)
i never really used constants before so this may sound stupid..
when you define a constant using define() and want to return true/false
is this logical:
if($bars == 3)
{
define('BAR', 1);
}
then:
if(BAR)
{
// bars is true
}
or should i need to do an else statement as well:
if($bars == 3)
{
define('BAR', 1);
}
else
{
define('BAR', 0)
}
lastly is it more practical to just do:
if($bars == 3)
{
$bar = true;
}
i am curious what most people would use.

so, how can i prevent a method from called static or not called static?
and btw. does anynone know why it is not good to let one function handle
both mehtods of calling (static and not static) as in PHP 5 you will get
notices if called wrong - but PHP doesnt support multiple
function-definitions like:
class foo
{
static function bar()
{
return ANY_DEFAULT_VALUE;
}
function bar()
{
return $this-value;
}
}
or even
class foo
{
static function bar( $param )
{
return $param;
}
function bar()
{
return $this-param;
}
}
or is this at least an issue for the internals-list?

input type=file name=userfile size=29 /
input type=submit name=submit value=Upload /

case 2:
$message[] = 'Error #2 - File is too big';
break;
case 3:
$message[] = 'Error #3 - File was partially uploaded';
break;

I've been using php for serveral years and i cant remember ever getting this to work like the manual states. Quoting the *php manual* The MAX_FILE_SIZE hidden field (measured in bytes) must precede the file input field, and its value is the maximum filesize accepted. (((This is an advisory to the browser))), PHP also checks it. Fooling this setting on the browser side is quite easy, so never rely on files with a greater size being blocked by this feature. The PHP settings for maximum-size, however, cannot be fooled. This form element should always be used as it saves users the trouble of waiting for a big file being transferred only to find that it was too big and the transfer failed. In a nut-shell, it's just a hint to the browser that may or may NOT consider it. -ahmed it doesnt seem to work on IE or Firefox.. two of the most popular browsers.. this shoudn't even be in the manual then because if it doesnt work for these two browsers then i would consider it pointless to use. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You don't have to rewrite your application. What mmacache does is to keep a bytecode version of the script available so that PHP won't have to reparse the script every time, which is expensive and also has a nice code optimizer. This is a common misconception about PHP cache systems... The PHP parser is *NOT* the big win Avoiding the hard disk read is the big win The PHP parser, even in PHP 5, just is NOT that complex. We're not talking C++ here. We're not even talking C. It's PHP! The entire language fits on a couple web pages for cripes' sake. [Not all the module/function stuff, just what the PARSER has to figure out] mmcache, Turck, eaccalerator, Zend Cache, whatever. They all have this oft-repeated misconception that they make your script faster because the PHP parser is taken out of the loop. The PHP parser being taken out of the loop is just gravy -- Something the cache does just because it's mind-numbingly easy, once you develop a cache at all. The true performance win is not having to hit the hard drive to *read* the PHP script before you parse it. It's already in RAM. The Zend Cache will make most applications at least 2 X as fast. About 1.9 of this speed increase probably comes from the fact that the script is in RAM. And maybe only 0.1 from the PHP parser getting bypassed. I made the 1.9 and 0.1 numbers up out of thin air for illustrative purposes!!! They are NOT real numbers. They *ARE* representative of the imbalance at work here. The 2 X number ain't made up. That's what Zend customers routinely reported in worst-case situations when I worked there (several years ago). 4 X was often the real world speed-up. You don't get a 2 X speed-up from the PHP parser not ripping through a bunch of text. No way. No how. You could (possibly) achieve similar speed-ups just having a RAM disk for all your PHP code. Though I think even a RAM disk has significant overhead in mimicing the file control function calls that is beggared by the Cache lookup. There are pathalogical cases where the Cache will do you no good at all, or even degrade performance. The most obvious one is if you have *WAY* too many PHP scripts scattered into *WAY* too many files, and your site has a *LOT* of pages with widely-distributed viewing. IE, imagine a site with 10,000 pages, but instead of the home page being the one everybody hits all the time, that site has everybody deep-linking to all the pages equally often. Also imagine that each of the 10,000 pages opens up 10 *different* PHP include files to generate its output. [This is an extreme pathalogical example... But less extreme real-world cases exist.] The Cache will end up thrashing and re-loading script after script because they can't all fit in RAM at once. I saw one client that literally had snippets of PHP code spread out in thousands of files, which they were combining to create PHP scripts on the fly from the database in a combinatorial-explosive algorithm. The Cache they used (not naming names, because it's irrelevent) was actually slowing down their site, a little bit, due to the overhead involved. They would have to have consolidated scripts, thrown *WAY* more RAM at it, or just completely changed their algorithm to fix it. I think they ended up doing a little of all that. Plus throwing more hardware at it. PHP is a shared-nothing architecture for a reason. :-) Most sites have a couple include files that get loaded on every page. Those pretty much get loaded into RAM and never move. And that's where the cache shines. No disk read. Just RAM.

If $what_was_inside_the_parethesis contains the word 'algebra' then I want nothing returned- in other words [$what was_inside_the_parethesis] should be cut out and nothing put in it's place.

The code works great for [] tags that do not contain the word algebra. If the word algebra is alone between the tags then it returns note/note, which I can easily remove with one more line of code. But if the word algebra appears with another word, then it is converted to a note just as if it did not contain the word. $search = array( '/\[[^\]*algebra[^\]*\]/', '/\[([^\]]+)\]/', ); $replace = array( '', 'note\1/note', ); preg_replace( $search, $replace, $string); Thank you Sebastian.

The script loads after 25 rows, because of I don't want to get any timeout... We don't have any own webserver, so we have to rely on our Webhotel-supplier. And our webhotel doesn't wan't to change certain thing for security reasons. why not move the text-file into the DB? of course not as a whole. or why not elsewise take 25 lines from the textfile against the 700 rows in the DB? or not load the whole file in the array, check line by line - http://www.php.net/fgets -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de www.sf.net/projects/phpdatetime | www.sf.net/projects/phptimesheet -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Getting checkboxes as array
Don't forget to mention that even if you don't select a checkbox it will
still add a empty record to the db.. i know for sure the foreach loop
will add a record even if a box is not check, so you have to check its
actually set before you start inserting.

Re: [PHP] Getting checkboxes as array
well, your trying to get the insert_id() without running the query first. so
you have to add:
mysql_query($query);
before:
$art_id = mysql_insert_id();
also, your foreach loop should be:
foreach ($media_types as $type)
(without the brackets [])
i am assuming $media_types is an array already.

Re: [PHP] $date(l-m);
is it possible for $mydata-lastinsalled to have -MM-DD format? ie:
2004-05-31
you can use strtotime to convert it to unix timestamp to
compare...something like this:
$stamp = strtotime('2004-06-31'); // $mydata-lastinsalled
if($stamp = strtotime('1 year ago'))
{
echo 'less than 1 year';
}
else
{
echo 'over 1 year';
}
otherwise its impossible to tell if it is over one year without knowing
the day as well.. unless you guess and figure on the first of the month..

Re: [PHP] Quick q, most prolly 0T
you can do that with just an index.php file.
say you have a directory called 'foo' with an index.php you can do
something like this:
if($_GET['a'] == 1)
{
echo 'blah';
}
mysite.com/foo/index.php?a=1
would be the same as:
mysite.com/foo/?a=1
