Re: [PHP] PHP vs JAVA
What a co-incidence! I was searching PHP vs Python in google and reading articles. Now a similar mail on my inbox. When any language war goes on, everyone gets biased by the language he/she loves. It applies here too. I think your college teacher loves Java. During PHPvsPython search I found this info graphic https://www.udemy.com/blog/modern-language-wars/#. Some of the statistics contain Java too. Also you can search PHP and Web Development in big job sites and compare with same search but with Java.

Yes, this has been always the case. The property initializer in PHP can not

If you want to use expression here use the constructor.

Re: [PHP] Strip emails from a document
I think you meant extract emails from document, right? I'd probably find `@` and iterate before and after unless I get posix punct, space, characters. But it'll probably give some false matches. So its really hard to find 100% emails from an arbitrary text. This is because valid email can contain many different type of characters. According to RFC 822 space is a valid character in email. So finding all the valid emails is tough. In a *trivial situation* an email would be separated by space. So find @ first. Then go back and front to find the first space. You'll get most common emails. Something like using this regex pattern [^[:space:]@]+@[^[:space:]]+ would suffice. But keep in mind, it'll work on trivial cases. Not on special cases. Regular expression can not be used on special cases. Here is full RFC-822 compliant email matching regular expression http://ex-parrot.com/~pdw/Mail-RFC822-Address.html More information can be found on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/201323/using-a-regular-expression-to-validate-an-email-address On Sat, Jan 26, 2013 at 10:24 PM, Tedd Sperling t...@sperling.com wrote: Hi gang: I thought I had a function to strip emails from a document, but I can't find it.

Re: [PHP] PHP as Application Server
My recent experience is PHP eats more memory. But it matters when you are running it under memory constraint device. For a high end server its not a matter. I built an chat server using socket functions which was intended to run on embedded device. I didn't want to load apache. So I wrote it in plain PHP (as I am good at it). The server was working good until I my memory runs out. My memory requirement was really low, about 32M. Thats the total memory for everything. I ran a heavy RIA chat application with. Later I change the language to non-PHP (name of that language might start flame-war). Now its working well so far. One thing I know is, If you want to do it, you can do it.

From OOP point of view. Use encapsulation: When a class has a has-a relation-ship with other class you should use encapsulation.

Use inheritance: When a class has a is-a relation ship with other class use inheritance. For example, Dog is an Animal. so Dog should extend Animal class. MyPHPDb is-a PHP Database Object (aka PDO).

I can not correct your regexp. But I must tell you that trying to tweak a

solved just by simple string parsing.
Here I have done that for you.

Jim L. I did't actually consider that wide range of time values. Here
is an update. Still this can be written without help of regex. I must
add one more thing that a '00:01' is invalid in 12 hour format. OP
wants it to be 12-hour format.
function valid_time($time){
$m = substr($time, -2);
$h = (explode(':', substr($time, 0, -2)));
$h = $h[0];

I just want to use DomDocument and SimpleXML. Content-Type header. RSS were called RDF prior to 0.91 and currently RDF is a different protocol.

I have a clear idea about *that*. I want to figure out if it's possible to use web sockets with a small server written in PHP to replace my current structure of ajax + apache + processes (which I suppose it forks). I see these benefits: 1) possible benefit - presumably when an ajax request arrives, a new process is started and so PHP has to be loaded and initialised each time. But perhaps this is in some way optimised so the PHP process is left running and apache then just tells it to read/execute a new script. Did you check http://php-fpm.org/ 2) Definite benefit - when a browser makes an ajax request to run a script, it gets no information back until the script completes. Then it gets all of it. I have a couple of unsatisfactory workarounds for that in my existing structure. Websockets appears to offer a way for the browser to receive timely information. 3) understand design patterns I don't know what this means. What your asking is practically impossible in any programming language akin to 'how to un-import packages in Java' or 'how to un-using namespace in C#'. If you don't want to use it, don't include it ;) I do want to use it but would like to be able to replace it with a newer version. If there is no way to do this then that is a data point.

Its the same thing but you are fetching data in chunks.
Now this portion order by contract on quarter million rows is not a
good practice. It will slow down your query time and make the script
severely slow.
I had about 100 millions of rows in my table in the url and I was
sorting on last-visit column. Later I removed the order by and it was
much faster.
Try it and let us know.

Re: [PHP] Re: use of ini vs include file for configuration
For configuration, I used to use .php file earlier. I just used array syntax to keep the config values. But now I use json syntax. Its easy like xml. Ini file is much more user friendly than json though. -- Shiplu Mokadd.im My talks, http://talk.cmyweb.net Follow me, http://twitter.com/shiplu Innovation distinguishes bet ... ...

Re: [PHP] PHPExcel with large files (27,000+ rows)
On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 12:39 AM, chris h chris...@gmail.com wrote: I'm currently working on a project that requires the parsing of excel files. Basically the user uploads an excel file, and then a script needs to save a row in a Postgres database for each row in the excel file. The issue we are having is that when we task PHPExcel with parsing an excel file with, say 27k rows, it explodes with a memory error. I've read up on the PHPExcel forums and we've tried cell caching as well as ReadDataOnly, they do not seem to be sufficient. Does anyone here know of a way to do this? Surely there is a way to parse a large excel file with PHP. This is also NOT an on-demand service. That is, when someone uploads a file they get a task_id which allows them to check the status of their excel file. So the solution does not need to be a fast one! Thanks, Chris. 1. Remove any variable that contains big object if its not necessary. 2. Use unset when applicable 3. Read chunk by chunk. 4. Profile it to find the exact place where you are wasting memory. Optimizing that little portion of code can improve memory performance. -- Shiplu Mokadd.im My talks, http://talk.cmyweb.net Follow me, http://twitter.com/shiplu SUST Programmers, http://groups.google.com/group/p2psust Innovation distinguishes bet ... ...

Under what conditions would version_compare() return true, yet the
filter_var() be undefined? Because that's what is happening.

Re: [PHP] how do you upload to a 3rd-party remote server?
You have to maintain a queue if I understand it properly. PHP page will send request on one end of queue. And the server side cron will process from other end. Cron will upload it to ftp. Now you can implement a queue using database table or you can just use a file.

Re: [PHP] Determining the similarity between a user supplied short piece of text (between 5 and 15 characters) and a list of similar length text items.
There is an algorithm called longest common sub sequence. If you can find the longest common sub sequence of the strings of database for the given string and sort it, you'll get the most matched word. But I think this algo is developed already and available in your context. It's name can be different. As a developer I am not sure actually what function in php or mysql serves the purpose.
