RE: [PHP] Re: OOP methodology
Thanks - very useful way of looking at things. I think I'll opt for applying this principle to the way I plan to improve my system. Currently far too bulky. Of course, now the project has progresse, finding time to refactor and effectively build most of it from scratch, is quite hard. Cheers Chris -Original Message- From: Justin Patrin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 January 2004 17:19 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: OOP methodology Wow, that's a lot of stuff in one class. Personally, I've started using the MVC (Model, View, Controller) architecture. Basically what it does is seperates Data logic from Display logic and Control logic. Here's how I've been using it. Model: Holds and deals with all data for the program, such as database connections / queries, session data, data consistency. I am currently using classes which use PEAR DB_DataObject for DB connections, querying, and data storage. View: Deals with displaying of data from model. ONLY does displaying, no processing. Very minimal logic only associated with outputting. Currently, I am using Smarty entirely for the view. Little no no PHP code, only Smarty. The View in this case is just a smarty template file. Controller: Handles requests from the browser. Instantiates Model and View, calls functions in Model to alter its state (updating from $_REQUEST vars, for instance). Chooses a view and then tells the view to display. For me, this is all home-grown PHP. This architecture can be much more complicated in, say, a C++ program, but the Server/Client pattern built into web programs makes it much more simple. The reason that I use this particular architecture is that it factors all of the pieces of your program very nicely. Later, if you do things right, you can use a single screen from one program in another with minimal editing.

[PHP] Flash interface to CLI PHP Script vs GTK
I'm sure people have had wilder ideas, but this is what I'm trying to do. I'm disappointed by the lack of clear documentation and examples for GTK and the strange way the package insists on using its own binary php.exe (for win32) instead of being just a simple extension. And I've yet to find a way to put 2 buttons on the new window. I tried this 6 months ago, can't remember the detail but remember thinking at the time, stuff this! Never again etc. The documentation wasn't clear to me, so I'm not sure what I've said is strictly true. I've written an application which iterates through a database, performing various functions along the way, and at each step there are about 20 variables which I'd like to see. These are output to the console at such speed that it's hard to see what's going on unless it crashes and you can look at the error log. I'd like to have a basic GUI for outputting this information and it occurred to me that I could use PHP's COM functionality to create a Shockwave Flash object (as I have done in Excel VBA for example) and then pass data from PHP, through to the custom fields in a custom made flash object. My application runs in the CLI version of PHP 5. I've tried to instantiate the flash object, but it doesn't recognise the term Shockwave Flash Object when I try to create it. Am I just trying to create the object using the wrong object name? Or is this because it's a plugin? And if so, how come it works when I created a test in Excel VBA (where I managed to interact with a flash object from within a VBA script). My only other option is to create a Internet Explorer object, load a document with an embedded flash object and then reference it from there, but that sounds even more 'cowboy-coder' to me. My thinking is that if it's easy to talk to a flash object (and I believe it's possible for a COM object to talk back to PHP) then it strikes me that a flash file would be an improved interface to PHP than GTK - it looks nicer for starters, smooth fonts and animation not as hard to implement. Failing this, I'm considering writing a PHP script with socket support which can talk to a Flash object in a client-server manner. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

RE: [PHP] The PHP Problem
I was in the same shoes a few years ago and used this. http://www.net-language.com/workshops/Default.asp?workshop=21 It's a good guide, shows you how to set up a web server, php and mysql on your own PC (win32). As it's for a slightly older version of PHP some parts of the guide don't no longer hold true, but for the most part you shouldn't have any problems; you should have it all up and running in a few hours. You'll have an ideal test system to start trying out your code, and should learn a bit about how to administrate MySQL databases and Apache web servers in the process. Hope that helps. Chris ps. Recommend you write notes for yourself as you install and setup. eg. you'll probably only have to do one or two MySQL grant statements to get it running, which if your like me you'll forget as soon as it works. Every time I install it I waste 2 hours trawling through manuals trying to get the syntax right, promising myself Next Time I'll Take Notes.

[PHP] OOP methodology
This is a long one - I'm trying to get to grips with my understanding of
OOP.
I'm not sure that I understand object oriented programming as well as I
could to benefit from using it in PHP. Although I've used it to produce
working applications, of the few objects I've produced nearly all have
carried too much weight and functionality (one object for both HTML
generation and DB interaction etc) and several have been extensions of the
others.
I was hoping someone might be able to check my logic.
One of the main functions of the application I'm working on at the moment,
my first use of OOP in PHP, is to iterate through a hierarchy of retail
outlets and extract information from a database based on each location in
the hierarchy. A template SQL statement is parsed and parts are replaced
with information from the hierarchy. This query is then executed, and the
results are placed in a table within a static HTML file stored in a
directory structure which mirrors the structure of the retail outlet
hierarchy. I've done it this way because the traffic to the site is
expected to be high and the information changes infrequently, so static
pages will ensure good performance.
The way I've written the application isn't up to much IMO, using objects in
a primitive way akin to a PC newbie using the CD ROM drive as a coffee cup
holder - ie. does the job but it's not quite how it was intended to be
used.
I've got one big object (treeMapper) that does everything, which includes
(over and above the database functions, file input and output, HTML
generation and string formatting). It has two main methods. Process() and
taskMaster(). The first method iterates one unit through the hierarchy and
then calls taskMaster() which takes values Process() has changed in the
object and uses them to query the database and to format the results into
an HTML table and output to a file (as described above).
In the code for the class, taskmaster() is empty. When I want to use the
class, I create a new class which extends treeMapper and then overrides the
taskMaster function. In this way I get an object which I can reuse for any
report which needs to be made for every store. It works and it's fast, but
this method seems really WRONG!
I started developing this six months ago as a first project in OOP in PHP,
and am starting to see it's limitations - for instance, I need to use the
DB functions for other small tasks on the site, which involves
instantiating a new treeMapper (which is highly inefficient as I won't need
the other 20 methods.). I've also got some handy string manipulation
routines which can't be used without instantiating a treeMapper. So I want
to break it up into smaller chunks, smaller objects which can talk to each
other.
From what I've read, I think I should be using an iterator pattern to
design an object which JUST does the iteration, a database object which
JUST does queries from the database, another iterator object which JUST
does iteration through database results and another object which draws
graphs based on results from the database.
My question is (I know you've been waiting) how best to connect up these
objects, as I only really need one instance of each object for my
application. PHP 5 objects seem easier to deal with (none of this
incomprehensible notation) and I want to know whether the following is a
good way of doing it and how other people might go about this.
class dbObj
{
var $results;
function dbObj()
{//set up DB con}
function execQuery()
{//ODBC query exec - results put in $this-results}
}
class iterator
{
var $currentPos
function iterator()
{//loads data into iterator}
function reset()
{//Resets pointer}
function next()
{//steps forward one item, changes $this-currentPos to whatever.}
}
class HTMLGenerator
{
function HTMLGenerator($dbObj, $iterator)
{
$this-dbObj = $dbObj;
$this-iterator = $iterator;
}
function MakeHTML()
{// as you'd expect.
// refers to $dbObj and $iterator (objects passed by reference in
// PHP 5)
// $iterator-currentPos used to parse SQL query
// eg. $dbObj-execQuery(select...);
// eg. $dbObj-results used to make HTML;
// }
function outputToFile()
{//Saves to File}
}
The main application would then do this:
$q = new dbObj;
$x = new iterator;
$y = new HTMLGenerator($q, $x)
while ($x-next())
{
$y-MakeHTML();
$y-outputToFile();
}
Anyone got any thoughts about whether this is a good way to do it? I was
wondering whether instantiating objects should be done within other objects
that need them - if this can be done - but I would only do that in cases
where (for instance) an HTMLGenerator object is instantiated without any
parameters, in which case some logic could be added to do this.
Thanks!
Chris

RE: [PHP] RE : [PHP] PHP Rading excel files
I'd consider using COM to work with Excel files if you can't find another
way to get the information out. The PHP Handbook (O'Reilly) has a good
chapter on that sort of thing. Then you can just refer to a cell as you
would in Excel VBA.
Sorry I can't think of anything better!

RE: [PHP] RE : [PHP] PHP Rading excel files
Just thought that it might be worth considering putting some functionality
into the Excel spreadsheet to trigger the PHP application.
I've created Excel spreadsheets in the past with a VBA macro or two in it
which allows users to update information on a intranet site from the
spreadsheet. They update their spreadsheet as normal and then press a button
which opens up a web browser control and passes the information to the
server in a get statement. Page reloads, capture the return message from the
server and show to user who never sees the web browser.
I don't know exactly what you're developing so can't be sure if this will be
of any use.

Chris

Given that excel (and generaly any microsoft app/bloatware) puts so much
junk into the files that sometimes excel itself cannot read it it is
virtualy impossible to write a pure php solution. The easiest path is to
use COM and run excel on the server, but this rules out any non windows
server. Or try to dig into openoffice and wrap its excel routines in a
php extension.

RE: [PHP] How to accept file through http from curl c program??
At a first glance:
$fp=fopen(brianLog1, w+);
brianlog1 should either be in quotes if that's the name of the file and the
file doesn't have an extension. Or maybe it's a variable in which case
you'll need to put the $ in front of it..
Hope that helps

Hi there,
Hopefully someone can shed some light for us on this.
We have a client who is sending us a file through a C program which uses
Curl. At our end we have a php script to accept the file passed through the
form. This php script works fine using a browser however, it does not pick
up what the C program sends to us.
Our php is below, $_FILES contains zilch!! Any ideas?:
foreach( $_FILES as $varname = $fileinfo ){
$filename = $fileinfo[name];
$tmpname = $fileinfo[tmp_name];
}
$uploaddir = '/usr/local/nameofdir/;
$uploadfile = $uploaddir. $_FILES['filename']['name'];
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
$fp=fopen(brianLog1, w+);
$string = HTTPS POST of Purchase Order SUCCESSFUL. File
Name: .$_FILE['filename']['name'].\n;
fwrite($fp, $string);
}
else {
$fp=fopen(brianLog2, w+);
$string = HTTPS POST Failed !* File Name:
.$_FILES['filename']['name'].\nTmp Name:

RE: [PHP] 3 mins of your time please...logic problem
You could take it further and only allow one vote per user and then log their IP address as well. There won't be many people who are determined to sway the vote by going through the hassle of creating a new user and then voting again. But there may be some. You can weed these out by looking through all the votes, usernames and ip addresses and then disregard votes which come from the same IP address from users who've only signed up minutes before voting. While they might think that they've beaten the system, you can clearly see from your table of users, registration dates, IP address and Voting Times that they're bogus. But it's a bit laborious to do this. Alternatively, once you've stored the first vote from a user in your database, let them vote again, give them the 'Thank you for your vote' message but disregard it from the server side. They'll think they're getting somewhere when in fact they're wasting their time (like those morons you see at pedestrian crossings who stab the button repeatedly, with the belief that it might make the lights change faster). And they probably won't try anything else which saves you having to delete a whole pile of junk user accounts. Just make sure you only show your users the poll result as a percentage without the 'x number of people have voted' or you'll be sussed. Would anyone really want to frig a forum poll anyway?

If you don't and an object is being unserialized without its class definition being present, it will lose its class association and become an object of class stdClass without any functions available at all, that is, it will become quite useless. /quoting I am using PEAR classes for my project. If I want to store such an object in a session, I would have to include all the class-definitions that are included within the class that I am using. There can be a lot of included classes or also dynamically incldued classes. Has somebody got an idea or an acceptable solution to handle this without including all the class-definitions? -- Cheers!

RE: [PHP] consistent PHP function names?
The English language can be just as confusing at times, and is full of exceptions to rules - people just get used to them. The same can apply to a programming language. I'm not of why PHP's naming conventions are like this, but I can only assume it's to do with the way the language has evolved, perhaps inheriting naming conventions from other languages. I can't imagine there are any plans to standardise it. In practice, I find that all my code is wrapped up in custom functions and objects anyway - I name those quite carefully to avoid confusing myself and others, but don't need to worry too much about the naming conventions of the functions inside. When writing complicated scripts, I often find choosing variable / function naming conventions takes a long time. I've got used to the quirks of PHP, but can see your point. Chris -Original Message- From: Eugene Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 September 2003 10:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] consistent PHP function names? One thing that's always bothered me about PHP is that the function names are not terribly consistent. For example, when are underscores okay? strip_tags() has an underscore but stripslashes() does not. Also, should inverse functions be named appropriately? htmlentities() and html_entity_decode() are inverse functions. But seems to make more sense to rename htmlentities() to html_entity_encode(). Something like a class[_subclass1[_subclass2[...]]]_method nomenclature makes sense. Then you have really weird stuff. For example, md5() is listed as a string function since it takes a string, calculates the MD5 hash, and returns said hash. Makes sense. Then you have md5_file(), which takes a filename, calculates the MD5 hash of the file's contents, and returns said hash. But md5_file() is listed as a string function. To me, it makes more sense to be classified as a filesystem function, and maybe even rename the function to file_md5().

Subject: [PHP] Branching to a page
Back in the earlier days of PHP, pages were not cached so I developed a
method of branching to a page by opening a new socket. Since it has
worked over the years in quite a variety of applications, I have not
changed...but maybe I should. Are there any glaring deficiencies with
doing this:
// Verify the Session ID
if ($session_id) {
...
} else {
bounce_post($server, $path, $url, abort.php, );
exit;
}
Where bounce is defined as
function bounce_post($server, $path, $url, $page, $info) {
$http = new http;
$fp = $http-http_fpost($server, $path . $page, $info);
if($fp) {
print 'BASE HREF=' . $url . $page . 'p';
fpassthru($fp);
};
}

RE: [PHP] Mailing List Programme
With max_execution_time directive in PHP.ini? I suppose I must have changed
that at some point too. I've tried using flush() before but without much
luck, and from what I've read in the manual I think it might be because I'm
running my setup on a Windows machine with IE6. A problem with client-side
buffering...

Your server timeout would have to be ramped up too. And you can get

while($foo is good){
get data
process date
flush(information)

[PHP] Memory leak in PHP 5 / ODBC?
I'm having memory problems running a script in PHP 5 Beta on WINNT SP6a.
I am trying to generate 600 static HTML pages each containing a table of
data. I've taken out all the table formatting routines out the code below,
but it still replicates the same fault. The loop appends the SQL string with
the loop value and then calls ODBC_DO.
When I run it, PHP.exe shows up in task manager, eating away at memory fast
- about 1 meg every second gets consumed and it generates about 7000 page
faults every second too. [I've no idea what page faults are but there's lots
of them...]. But it still works, and the information comes out as expected.
The memory is then freed when PHP exits.
Here's the code.
$dbCon = odbc_connect('Test2', '', '');
for ($nval=1;$nval=700;$nval++)
{
$query = SELECT * from [tablename] where ID = .$nval;
odbc_do($dbCon, $query);
}
odbc_close($dbCon);
I've run this code not only from a web page, but also from the command line
with some additional code which waits for a user keystroke before continuing
to the next loop iteration, to slow down the process. But the same problem
occurred, so I think I've ruled out some kind of bottleneck.
I expected the memory to remain fairly constant throughout execution, but it
keeps on rising and not always at a constant rate.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Is this a bug in PHP?
Kind regards,
