[PHP] What is the name of the pattern that will ...
Hi. I'm building a class which needs to have certain methods called by the subclass, but the subclass can extend but not obscure/override the behaviour. So, for example, a method AuthRequestMade() will record the activity of making an authorisation request. It cannot make the actual request as that is the subclass's job, but, no matter what, I need to have this method called with the result of the actual auth request. I want to make building the subclasses as simple and as fool proof as possible. I think I have to do something like this ... interface AuthEnforcer{ public function AuthRequestMade($i_State, $s_Message); } abstract class Auth implements AuthEnforcer{ public method MakeAuthRequest(){ // Do my stuff before. // Call the SpecificAuth class $this-AuthRequestMade($i_State, $s_Message); // Do my stuff after with state and message. } } class SpecificAuth extends Auth{ public function AuthRequestMade($i_State, $s_Message){ // Do my specific stuff, setting state and message. } } But a couple of things I don't like (and don't know how to avoid). 1 - The SpecificAuth::AuthRequestMade is public and I want it protected as it shouldn't be called from the public scope. 2 - The response is by ref, but I think having a AuthResponse class containing $i_State and $s_Message should be enough there, but no way to enforce return types in PHP. Any ideas? Thank you. -- Richard Quadling Twitter : @RQuadling EE : http://e-e.com/M_248814.html Zend : http://bit.ly/9O8vFY

[PHP] What needs to configure to run php exec for socket connection?

RE: [PHP] What do you call the end-user?
Hi, I have always held that the opinion of the end-user/customer is the most important goal in any systems development project, small or large, regardless of the programming language/environment. The database structure, programming, and interfaces are your product. If folks don't like it or can't figure out how to use it or can't wait until something better comes along, your product won't survive long in the marketplace. This attitude should also be held for developers creating in-house solutions as well. While management may have an overall goal for the purpose of the programming, the people who will eventually be the ones typing/clicking their way through your programs are the ones to ultimately satisfy. This means more pro-active design work with the front line users is always advisable to create long lasting programs/systems. I use mostly PHP to create web-based interface screens for AS400 programs in a manufacturing environment. I can spend all the time I want programming the next greatest program, but if the guys in the plant don't/won't use it, I have completely wasted my time. My two cents.

The nice thing about PHP is that it while the original stuff was all hard coded programs and changes were difficult, with PHP we can adjust things easily. Probably a little too easily, but molding things to each sites personal preferences is something that could not be done originally. So we tailor the user side to reflect local workflow rather than forcing a one size fits all solution that we had before. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

First question: What do you call the people who ultimately use your code? It all depends on where and how my code is ultimately used. If it is code that someone sitting at a browser making requests that end up running code I wrote, they are a user, or where there needs to be clarification, and end user. I call them the end-user, but others have stated other terms, such as customer or user. Again, it sort of depends on the disposition of the code I wrote. In any case, customer to me implies some sort of delivery possibly for remuneration. Customers tend to be singular for any given package (not meaning exclusive) and some kind of contract is held between us. I don't run any commercial sites for my own benefit, otherwise the term customer might expand to people buying or trading things with me via that site, in which case those customers become a subset of end users as well. Isn't this fun? In the case where I'm developing a portion of a product that another developer may pick up an use in application, they are using my code, but are definitely quite distinct from an end-user or a customer. Sometimes they might be called a partner, but not always. Second question: Are you concerned with their (whomever) experience in using your code? All those various constituents have needs whom I may wish to address. The end-user, obviously has need to be able to transact their business in as easy a fashion as possible, and being able to trust the chain of software and hardware that will carry out those wishes. The customer needs to be able to trust in the product or service they are buying, but equally, to be able to understand and navigate whatever process is in place for our transaction. And the development partner, as well, needs to be able to trust that the package I'm producing is documented well enough, and it is clear and as easy as possible to integrate with their own software. This question transcends your code working correctly, accurately, and securely -- no need to comment on those aspects. But rather more specifically do you consider how easily your whomever can use your work efforts?

This sort of thing is not only applicable to UX needs, but to many other areas as well.

Re: [PHP] What is The best way/tool for debuging PHP?
There is nothing you can call best. But whether some tools, technology will perform better depends completely on the context. I know some ways to debug PHP codes. 1. Netbeans IDE. The debugging facility here is excellent. You can debug even a single file without creating a project. It uses xdebug debugging engine. 2. Zend Studio/Eclispe PDT. Recent Zend studios are based on Eclispe PDT. They supports both xdebug and zend debugger. The problem I find with these IDEs that you can not debug a single file without creating a project. May be there is a way but I dont know. Its always better to download those all-in-one package IDEs to start development faster. These packages has zero setup time. So no time wasting. -- Shiplu.Mokadd.im ImgSign.com | A dynamic signature machine Innovation distinguishes between follower and leader

Wish you all the best! Yes many IDE's are used when debugging php because they can simulate the environment needed for php. Not to promote them but VSPHP is an amazing product, as a standalone or integrated into Visual Studio 2010. I have enjoyed using this product for the last couple years. I am a HUGE Visual Studio advocate, when VSPHP came along I exclusively use VS and notepad to develop applications in. Is this the BEST product? No clue!! BUT: I can develop and Debug in different versions of PHP. I can integrate with any database, and I will (Toot the horn about) the ability to use global variables instant insert. Saves me time, headaches and I can search an entire project for every instance of variable and no need to open each page. I like the color markup and the debug options of stepping trough a segment of code for a real time analysis. To me it is the BEST tool on the market.

Try this instead: ^(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})$ The ^ anchors the matching string to the beginning of the string, while the $ anchors it to the end, which effectively forces the expression to match the entire string, disallowing extra characters before or after it.

[PHP] What determines your use of the type of DB framework/abstract?
Hey All, I'm guessing that the subject probably doesn't fit the question I'm asking here so I'll apologize in advance. Lately I've been getting in to how I can streamline my development after a bad experience with a contract. One of the areas I was looking at is when it would be appropriate to use certain DB frameworks? What I mean by frameworks is probably more like DB abstract, like Doctrine or ZF's native Zend_Db. I know this isn't a black and white explanation so I would like to know what influences your decision on using a DB abstract framework. Whether to use one or not and if so which one?

Re: [PHP] What determines your use of the type of DB framework/abstract?
Sorry, not sure if the first part of the conversation made it to the list. I will be looking in to Symfony. I'm well versed with ZF and Zend_Db. I'm also somewhat versed with Doctrine and integrating it with ZF. My question isn't whether Doctrine is a part *of* that framework but rather on *what* and *when* it is appropriate to *use* or *substitute* something like Doctrine instead of using straight pdo or mysqli or the abstract that came with that particular framework. Substituting Doctrine or some other abstract could complicate a project rather than help.

If the answer is no, then there is little point moving to an abstraction layer, you are better sticking with your database of choice ... If the requirement is to allow cross database working, then one needs to address the SQL as well as the simple data stuff which PDO attempt. I've been using ADOdb for a long time now and have also successfully moved projects TO that when wanting to allow them to work with my own preferred database. It successfully maps many SQL differences and tidies up those problems. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Substituting Doctrine or some other abstract could complicate a project rather than help. Doctrine is more than just an abstraction layer. Well, no, but it's also an ORM framework. That alone would kill it for me. I built my own wrapper around PDO, that I use whenever possible. Main reason: it makes my interface the same, whether I'm using MySQL or PostgreSQL. That simplifies things for me. Why not just use PDO? I think PDO, for all its assets, has kind of a clunky interface. When I'm doing work internally, I use PostgreSQL. But for customers, I'm generally forced to use MySQL. So having the same interface for both (for the most part) eases the work. As for ORMs, I'm old skool; my preference is to use straight SQL where possible. I think it makes you think more carefully about your database structure and the type of queries you do. And sooner or later, ORM gets in the way of multi-table foreign-key reliant queries. Paul -- Paul M.

I used to use Nano for this reason, which tends to be available on any given system. But sometimes Nano isn't available and/or is difficult to find/install. It offers very little flexibility and, as far as I know, no capability to do add-ons. It also doesn't do syntax highlighting, as far as I know. I resisted Emacs because I'd have arthritis in short order from having to deal with the plethora of control and alt keystrokes which don't make mnemonic sense to me. Plus, it can be a massive. Eventually I switched to Vim (counter-intuitively) because 1) there's no *unix variant on which it's not available; 2) at some point, you're probably going to *have* to know how to operate Vi if you move around among foreign machines and networks; 3) there are many other applications which use many of the same keystroke patterns which are fundamental to Vi; 4) most keystroke combinations do not require leaving the home row, etc.; 5) Vi easily does syntax hilighting and a variety of other things, depending on add-ons. The modal model of Vi/Vim is sometimes a pain in the ass. And yes, it can take a long time to know all the features of Vim. But there are a number of things I can do faster in Vim, than anyone else can do in other editors, with less effort. No attempt here to dissuade Emacers or others. Whatever floats your boat and you're happy with, continue using. Why should you or I care what someone else uses for an editor? BTW, my big beef with online editors is latency, and it's a *huge* problem, as far as I'm concerned. Ultimately this is why I wrote blog software for myself which requires you to compose and edit your posts locally, and then *upload* them to the blog.

Hello all you PHP devs, I'm building an Open Source text editor accessible through the web. It has been brewing for a while in one form or another. But I think I finally have something solid to build on. I would like some feedback on things people like/dislike about their current editors. I currently have a basic system working with a login, file browser, ability to load/save files and syntax highlighting working. All keystrokes are sent through a client-side JavaScript API built on JQuery. This would seem to imply that something usable is not more than a few weeks away, so I figured I would get some input now while things are still quite flexible. All suggestions are welcome, though not all will be implemented. If you want, you can visit the web site for the project at un1tware.wordpress.com.

[PHP] What is valid for a named parameter in a prepared query using PDO_SQLSRV.
Hi. Just started using PDO with the nice and shiny SQLSRV driver form Microsoft for SQL Server. I seem to be having an issue with named parameters in prepared statements. Are there limitations to the characters that can be used for named parameters. UPPER, lower and MixedCase all seem OK, but I think I'm messing up with _. And my brain JUST fired and told me _ is a single character wildcard (as when used within a LIKE statement). Can anyone confirm? The usernote http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.prepared-statements.php#97162 mentions the use of hyphen (-), but not underscore (_). I'm also going to be converting an old style coding mysql to mysqli prepared statements (I know very little mysql, so 2 lots of learning going on here). Would mysqli have the same behaviour? Is it driver specific?

You could simply use like doctrine DBAL or an already existing one made specially for ORM, or you can design one and at the moment make it to use only MySQL PDO is actually good enough to do that, I know that the only thing I had to do in my ORM was to write a special class to translate some queries for MySQL (to be able to use LIMIT for objects instead of rows).

I'm currently trying to design a automated model like django or activeRecord. it should be quiet simple and automated, i have managed to possibly create the whole database only once. but the abstraction of the database and subsequent manipulation seem far more complicated than the previous part i'm currently only support mysql and only support whole query at once. 2011/6/17 jean-baptiste verrey jeanbaptiste.ver...@gmail.com - defining the mapping schema in an alternate method than using meta data (I HATE them, I would prefer an XML file with a DTD so you could use autocompletion with IDE like NetBeans) java's hibernate instead of python's exlir or ruby 's rail style ? mean no ActiveRecord? - clear keywords in the schema - OQL can do UPDATEs - one and only one configuration file with everything in it (and with why not the schema) - to not forget to KEEP IT SIMPLE, specialised ORM that does everything already exists so there's no point in writing one! that's it for me (at least at the moment) Of course I would suggest to use PHP 5.3 specially for late static binding (and for people that love namespaces) On 17 June 2011 07:42, 李白|字一日 calid...@gmail.com wrote: and how to design such an orm in current state of php language?
[PHP] What do you get for ...
Hi. What do you get for ... php -r var_dump(realpath(null)); I'm wondering if the result should be a boolean false. But I'm getting very different results for different versions of PHP for Windows. For PHP5+ (upto lastest 5.3.7-dev), the output is always the same as getcwd() For PHP4, some very interesting differences ...
