[PHP] Unit Tests for Cache Class
Hi all, I'm just writing a small cache class to optimize my database connection. I want to use three different stages to store and receive my data as fast as possible. 1) fast get data from class variable if existing 2) mid get data from memcache if existing - save result as class variable 3) slowest: sql query - receive data from database - save result to memcache - save result as class variable How would you write (unit) tests for such a class? What is the best way to prove, that all data was stored correctly, even after data manipulations like insert/update/delete?

[PHP] Singleton with variable parameters
Hi guys,
I am trying to generate an abstract Singleton class for use in arbitrary
classes, like
class Foo extends Singleton {}
and generate a new class with Foo - getInstance();
How can I manage to use this with an unkown number of parameters like
Foo - getInstance('a', 'b'); ?
Something like self::$instance = call_user_func (array(static ,
__construct), func_get_args()); instead of self::$instance = new
self; doesn't work and an eval() is too slow.
I hope you can help me.
Thanks,
Sebastian
class Singleton
{
static private $instance = null;
static public function getInstance()
{
if http://www.phpbar.de/w/if(null === self::$instance) {
self::$instance = new self;
}
return http://www.phpbar.de/w/returnself::$instance;
}
private function __construct(){}
private function __clone(){}
}
[PHP] Model View Concepts
Hi all, I'm currently searching for any code snippets, tutorials, howtos, concepts which explain different ways to collect all type of data/input (i.e. inside a class, xml, json string whatever) and create independent html files (i.e. different designs), xml files, pdf files, etc. out of that pool of data. Do you have any urls or own experience you could share? Thanks, Sebastian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Unicode - Entitiy Encoding
Hi all, I'm stuck with this problem: I am trying to convert a text with any kind of unicode characters to its octet and entity equivalents. For example: Ë is #203; as octet and Euml; as entity Đ is #272; as octet and Dstrok; as entity My code works fine for some characters ( Ë works fine, but Đ fails at entity encoding). Do you have a hint, how to solve this? I try to get the octet encoding with mb_encode_numericentity which works fine for everything $convmap = array( 0x22, 0x22, 0, 0x, # 0x26, 0x27, 0, 0x, # ' 0x3c, 0x3c, 0, 0x, # 0x3d, 0x3d, 0, 0x, # 0x80, 0x, 0, 0x, ); $oct_string = mb_encode_numericentity($test, $convmap, 'UTF-8'); I try to get all entity encodings with htmlentities $entity_string = htmlentities($test, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); But that fails for some characters like Đ. Is there a better way to get all entity encodings? Thanks, Sebastian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Execute a php page and don't wait for it to finish
Ferdi schrieb: Hi List, I have a php page that updates data from one database to another when it is run. My query is, how can I trigger the execution of this update page from another php / javascript without the calling page having to wait for the update page to finish? Basically, I think the update page needs to use: ignore_user_abort(1); set_time_limit(0); // I don't think the script will take more than 1 min. At the other end I found this: 1) http://www.mindraven.com/blog/php/run-a-php-script-in-the-background-using-ajax/ 2) On that page a user suggested using *pclose(popen(‘/usr/bin/php /path/to/something.php /dev/null ’, ‘r’)* **However, I need this to be usable on windows servers also. 3) Finally, would pcntl_exec, pcntl_fork, exec or something be useful for me? Which of the above 3 options is the better one? Other suggestions are welcome :) Thanks and Regards, Ferdi 1) I guess an asynchronous ajax request is what you are looking for. But it won't work on command line. 2) Maybe http://robert.accettura.com/blog/2006/09/14/asynchronous-processing-with-php/ could help you, but I never tried that. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Firs Day Of Week UNIX

Hi gang,
I need a bailout.
I have a fields called sys_first_day_of_week and the user can select

I'm not sure: You are searching the date of the last given weekdate?
$sys_first_day_of_week: Monday = 1, ..., Saturday = 6, Sunday = 0
Try this one: date seems to be correct, but value is different, maybe
different time zone?
if ( date('w') $sys_first_day_of_week ) {
$value = mktime(0,0,0,date('n'),date('j'),date('Y')) - ( 7 + date('w')
- $sys_first_day_of_week ) * 24 * 60 * 60;
}
else {
$value = mktime(0,0,0,date('n'),date('j'),date('Y')) - ( date('w') -
$sys_first_day_of_week ) * 24 * 60 * 60;
}

Re: [PHP] References in Sessions

In addition to that I don't understand, why it is important to prevent deletion if a point is selected ...

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
that the purchase is a gift certificate.
At present my add to cart function goes like this:
===
# 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][$gift]['quantity'] + 1;
===
Now I need to display the shopping cart contents. I want to do this
through an array as the contents of the shopping cart are in a session
variable. I start displaying the shopping cart contents by a FOREACH
loop:
===
foreach ($_SESSION['life_coaching_order'] AS $coaching_fee_theme_reference
= $value ) {
===
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.

The Verse of the Day
Encouragement from God's Word

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;
}
I hope that will help you,
