RE: [PHP] Help with regex: breaking strings down to 'words' and 'phrases'
On Wed, 11 May 2005, Murray @ PlanetThoughtful wrote:
Hi All,
I'd very much appreciate some help building a regular expression for
preg_match_all that can differentiate between 'words' and 'phrases'.
For example, say I have a string that contains: 'this is an example of
a
phrase'
I'd like to be able to break that down to:
this
is
an
example of a phrase
I haven't thought this through fully, but what if you exploded the string
on into an array. Then loop through the array and for every even
element, explode on a space, otherwise just store the whole string into
the new array.
I think I *may* have solved this at my end.
The following statement seems to work:
preg_match_all('/([\w\-]+?|[(]|[)]|\.+\)/U',strtoupper($prep_sql),$sqlarr)
;
I need to test it out with a whole series of different possible combinations
to see if it behaves the way I want it to, but so far the results are good.
If anyone can see any flaws, I'd love to know about them!
Many thanks,
Murray

If you have register_globals OFF, it might appear to never get set to 1,

Your else() above isn't valud syntax...
Perhaps you should post EXACTLY what your code looks like...

This could probably be done easier, by the way, by just using:
input type=submit name=NextCourse value=Click me if there is another

lisa, i think your problem may be simple enough... but if this doesn't work, i dunno... i'm guessing that you're using some webhost right? well... Note: Your file should be present in the same folder where HEC/ is present E.g: ~/testcal.php [your file where you want to display event calendar] ~/HEC/ [unzipped HEC package] ( I made a page called testcalendar.php and put it in the foldeer HEC, but I am getting error messages. okay.. you put your file (testcalendar.php) in the HEC folder, but you're supposed to put it in the same folder as the HEC folder... using windows, the path would look like this: c:\folder\subfolder\testcalendar.php c:\folder\subfolder\HEC\ but http addresses are written in unix style, so it looks like this /folder/subfolder/testcalendar.php /folder/subfolder/HEC/ hope that makes a little more sense to you... just move that file up one directory and try running it again. drew -- dc .. drewcore.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I believe it should be:

if($NextCourse == 1){ do something; }
elseif(!$NextCourse){ do something other; }
?
By the way you have your statement, I think you are only looking for the
1. You might try the following instead.
?
if($NextCourse == 1){
do something;
}else{
do something else;
}

Re: [PHP] Help. Floats turning into really small numbers? x.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxE-xx- Narrowed it down!
What you see as round numbers in base 10, are not so in binary. Numbers such as .5, .25, .125, .0625 and so on, multiples of one half, are round numbers in binary, though they don't look so in decimal. Others which look pretty simple in decimal are not, for example, 0.1 gives you an infinite series 0.11001100110011... in binary. All this numbers give you rounding errors. That is why many languages have introduced 'currency' or 'money' data types, they are either integer data types scaled back to a fixed number of decimal places, or they are floats rounded of the least significant digits. You can do either by yourself, that is, have all currency internally represented as cents and scale it to full units when showing it, or round off at two cents after each calculation.

Thanks to everyone that helped. After further googling, bug 9288 had a good explanation of what was going on ( which is not a bug) http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=9288edit=3 I'll just include the answer for anyone that comes upon this tread on a search engine. [15 Feb 2001 2:55pm CET] hholzgra at php rot dot fot net short answer: never use floats or doubles for financial data! longer answer: the internal number format in modern computers is binary (base 2) and not decimal (base 10) for performance and complexity reasons while it is possible to convert decimal numbers into binaries and back this does not hold true for fractions something like 0.3 (decimal) would be a periodic binary fraction like 10/3 is 0.... in decimal this leads to loss of precision when calculation with decimal fractions as you have when storing currency values solution: if you just summ up values then you should store values in the smalest unit your currency has (pennies?) instead of what you are used to (Pounds?) to totally avoid fractions if you cannot avoid fractions (like when dealing with percentage calculations or currency conversions) you should just be aware of the (usually very small) internal conversion differences (0.27755575615629 in your example) or use the bcmath extension, although for monetary values you should go perfectly fine with using round(...,2) on your final results Anthony Tippett wrote: btw, thanks for your response.

Re: [PHP] Help with SQL Query String
You should not just give him the code but rather tell him why. 1. trim() is a php function. MySQL does not know what to do with it. You need to place it 'outside' of the sql. You can also do something like this: $userid = trim($row['USERID']); Then use $userid in your sql. 2. Items in arrays must be in quotes. jzf Jay Blanchard wrote: [snip] $sql = INSERT INTO tblname (USERID,FULLNAME,SSN,STARTDATE) VALUES (trim($row[USERID]),trim($row[FULLNAME]),trim($row[SSNO]),trim($row[STAR TDAT E])); [/snip] Time to quote and concatenate and make pretty... $sql = INSERT INTO tblname (USERID,FULLNAME,SSN,STARTDATE) ; $sql .= VALUES ( ; $sql .= ' . trim($row['USERID']) .

Re: [PHP] Help with SQL Query String
Ave,
Thanks a lot folks.
I did actually mention that doing something like
$userid = trim($row['USERID']);
And then using those variables in my SQL statement would work... The only
reason I chose to make this post however and not do that was because I
wanted to know if it can be done the other way. I do understand though that
using the PHP trim() function in an SQL statemnt won't work.
However the new snip about mySQL having it's own TRIM() function is also
pretty cool.
Thanks again all,

For starters:
PHP use \ as an escape character for $ inside of
Regex uses \ as an escape character for $ as a literal rather than
line-end character.
So your \$ should be \\\$, because PHP will eat the \\ and turn that
into \ and then PHP will eat the \$ and turn that into $, and then
you'll be passing \$ to Regex.
As it stands now, your Regular expression is:
^$[0-9+...
which is basically an invalid expression, as it has a bunch of crap
trailing after the new-line ($) symbol.

Why re-invent the wheel?
It's part of a game. In the RPG there are dates which the players would
like
to be able to convert from our calendar to that one, and back again..
In order to do that I need to find the exact days since the year 0
BC/AD.

A year consists of 769 days, 13 months of 63 days a month, except for month
13 which has 14 days. Every month has 7 weeks of 9 days, of course month 13
is the exception. A day is 24 hours.
However, the functions php provides only allow up to the unix epoch.
Could you guys give me some pointers on how to accomplish this,
accurately?
Take a look at the MySQL date ranges -- They may have a data type that
allows for more than just 1/1/1970 to 3/??/2038
If not, consider using PostgreSQL which has VERY extensive and flexible
date support, for ranges MUCH larger than 0 BC/AD.

I believe PostgreSQL even supports time scales on the order of
geological
events and for astronomical purposes, though not with day accuracy.
+1 on using a DB to calculate and format dates on this one :-)
I'm guessing Kevins probably written an SQL statement before and he's
already proved he can RTFPM (P for PHP)
I am assuming that by accurately you mean to the nearest day since
you
spoke of exact days, right?
Aye.. it's nearest day, and according to calculations should have
repeatable
results. So what is date X today should also be it tomorrow (after the
calculations of course). That's what i've noticed so far. when I add a
date
and convert it and then convert it back it is a different date.

It's mostly the past. The RPG is set in Egypt and the beginning of the

obvious, but I do not understand an end date of a calendar.. Perhaps I'm
just blond.. but could you perhaps explain that one?
I must be blond, I don't even grok that question :-/
WEll I don't understand why an end date is important or what is meant with
accuracy. The term being blond is, at least in the Netherlands a dumb
blond, so I made it so that when I am dumb or anything, I'm blond (which in

Re: [PHP] Help with dates
Right now I'm working on a script that would calculate dates from one calendar to another. The normal calendar we use and a newly invented one. [shudder] There are already WAY too many calendar systems. Inventing a new one is probably not such a good plan... Why re-invent the wheel? It's part of a game. In the RPG there are dates which the players would like to be able to convert from our calendar to that one, and back again.. You'll be way better off finding an existing calendar that fits your criteria than inventing a new one. But you didn't define how far into the future you need to go. Current time? A few years out? Stardates from Star Trek? You have to specify a start date, end date, and accuracy to choose a correct calendar system. It's mostly the past. The RPG is set in Egypt and the beginning of the society in egypt has been taken as year 0. The start date I think is obvious, but I do not understand an end date of a calendar.. Perhaps I'm just blond.. but could you perhaps explain that one? Here's your IDEAL calendar: Your start date is 0 BC. So let's make that be represented by: 0 Day 1 is, errr, December 26, 0 BC, represented by: 1 Day 2, December 27, 0 BC, represented by: 3 . . . You can now calculate what's 2 billion+ (0x to be precise) days later, and that would be the last date you could conveniently represent in a 32-bit integer. Do you expect the characters/events in your RPG to extend beyond 2 billion days from December 25, 0 BC? If so, then a 32-bit integer, one integer per day, simply won't cut it. If not, then the above is an ideal date system. Now, that was your ideal system. Find a system that comes close to that. http://mysql.com http://postgresql.org PS Historians are ready to shoot me for using 12/25/ as 0 BC, but that's their problem, not mine. It's an RPG.

[shudder] There are already WAY too many calendar systems. Inventing a new one is probably not such a good plan... Why re-invent the wheel? In order to do that I need to find the exact days since the year 0 BC/AD. However, the functions php provides only allow up to the unix epoch. Could you guys give me some pointers on how to accomplish this, accurately? Take a look at the MySQL date ranges -- They may have a data type that allows for more than just 1/1/1970 to 3/??/2038 If not, consider using PostgreSQL which has VERY extensive and flexible date support, for ranges MUCH larger than 0 BC/AD. http://postgresql.org I believe PostgreSQL even supports time scales on the order of geological events and for astronomical purposes, though not with day accuracy. I am assuming that by accurately you mean to the nearest day since you spoke of exact days, right? But you didn't define how far into the future you need to go. Current time? A few years out?

Search http://php.net for variable variables (Yes, really.)
It will let you turn 'qty' . $i into a new variable and get its value.
You probably should be using an ARRAY for qty anyway, though...
input name=qty[product_id_47]
input name=qty[product_id_83]
input name=qty[product_id_99]
Then you can use $_POST['qty'] as an array, and not mess around with
variable variables.

Re: [PHP] Help Required: How to call .vbs file from .php file?
Okay: You need to be explain yourself in a MUCH CLEARER manner. You want to 'call' a 'vbscript' from a php file. What exactly do you mean? Do you want to run server-side vbscript, or do you want to run client-side vbscript. Do you want to use asp-style vbscript to generate html, or do you want to use vbscript to manipulate the html that is already loaded. Iy looks like, since you are 'double-clicking' on a html file, that what you want is client-side vbscript. In this case, 'calling' the vbscript would be the same way as 'calling' javascript, or Jscript. Simply put it in script type=text/vbscript/script tags, and it would be 'called' similarly to javascript. Bare in mind that you cannot generally 'double-click' on a php file. You generally have to load it through a web server(eg apache, or IIS). As above, you need to restate your question.

RE: [PHP] help me
This is how I would do it, don't know if it is the best way.
A. get the date out of the database
Let's say $maindate is that date you retrieved from the database
B. split up the date into several parts for day month and year The day as a
number (dd):
$day=date (j, strtotime($maindate));
The month as a number (mm):
$month= date (m, strtotime($maindate));
The month as a number (yy):
$year= date (Y, strtotime($maindate));
C. Now in your combobox you must do something like:
select name=comboday
?PHP
for($aday=01;$aday32;$aday++)
//fill the combobox with the numbers 1-31
{
echo('option value='.$aday.'');
if($day==$aday)
{
//if the day from the database equals this aday then echo selected so that
//day is selected in the combobox
echo( selected);
}
echo(''.$aday.'/option');
}
?
/select
That should do the trick

Re: [PHP] Help with a query please - unable to error check!
Could it be a quote-escaping problem? It would be easier to tell if you could show us the query and the code you're using. /Mattias Shaun wrote: Hi, I have a problem with a query, I get the following error message: You have an error in your SQL syntax.

Re: [PHP] help-regarding-file_get_contents
Does the server support passive FTP connections?
Extracted from the PHP Manual:
PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5. ftps:// since PHP 4.3.0
*
ftp://example.com/pub/file.txt
*
ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pub/file.txt
*
ftps://example.com/pub/file.txt
*
ftps://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pub/file.txt
Allows read access to existing files and creation of new files via
FTP. If the server does not support passive mode ftp, the connection
will fail.
See http://docs.php.net/en/wrappers.html.

But it might be worse than that, and you want to replace 2 OR MORE \n with

All depends on how the original data was typed in, and what your designer

You might check out http://photomatt.net/scripts/autop Call this function on the text you want to convert. Think of this code like nl2br on steroids.

I'll be using this to obfuscate get parameters. do you just want to obfuscate or is it important that content is actually secure? I can imagine that the issue is compounded in your case by the fact that the GET params are pushed over the wire (which may garbble the encrypted strings - can anyone confirm/deny that hypothesis?) in which case use of url_encode()/url_decode() may need to be used to protect the integrity of the strings. --- If the parameters are taken from a fixed list of values - e.g. columnnames for instance then maybe one-way encryption will work for you. for instance say you have a sortby GET param, you could take the columnnames of your table and hash them with md5sum() or sha1() and stick them into the relevant urls - then if/when a url comes back to the server the hash in the GET param could be checked against the hashes of the columnnames until you find a match - if you find a match you know which column was requested. The example is contrived but hopefully you understand what I mean and you can determine whether this is a possibility for you. --- Lastly you may have to ask yourself if it's necessary/feasable to do GET param encryption (in bang for buck kind of way). Unfortunately I can imagine that such a decision may have been made for you by some non-tehnical manager (it wouldn't be the first time!) in which case arm yourself with a good argument and go batter him with it ;-) Any pointers appreciated.

Re: [PHP] Help please!!
I would check what hitting the machine from the network. At the most basic level, just try netstat 1 on the command line. Also try iostat 1 to see what load the machine has.

Re: [PHP] Help with pack unpack functions
What is strange is that I can always get the char data[] structure
member, and sometimes I get meaningful data in a few of the shorts, but
never all of the structure's members at the same time.
Do you consistently get the same problems on the FIRST record returned?
Anything after that is suspect, as you may be so far off-sequence that the
rest are meaningless.
What data do you actually get for the first record?
Also, call me crazy, but, like, aren't you THROWING AWAY most of your
buffer?...
Or, in this case, reading only HALF (roughly) of a record at a time.
You read 2048 bytes.
You trim it (probably a bad idea)...
You try to unpack all 2048 bytes as if it was a single record.
You ignore anything after that in the buffer, and loop to get 2048 more
bytes.
But each record you receive is supposedly:
short+short+short+short+REPLY_MSG_SIZE+1 bytes long.
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4000 + 1
4009
bytes for a single record.
I think you want something more like this:
$socket_buffer = '';
$parse_buffer = '';
$format = @0/sval0/@1/sval1/@2/sval2/@3/sval3/@4/sval4/@5/sval5/@6/C*;
while ($socket_buffer = socket_read($msgsock, 2048, PHP_BINARY_READ)){
if (false == $little_buffer){
//Your $ret was not defined...
echo Failed socket read , socket_strerror(socket_last_error($msgsock));
//If you are gonna keep going, clear the socket error.
socket_clear_error($msgsock);
break 2;
}
$parse_buffer .= $socket_buffer;
$socket_buffer = '';
//Now parse whatever we've got so far, leaving behind any partial record,
//but only if we've got at least one full record to start with.
while (strlen($parse_buffer) = 4009)){
$record = unpack($format, $parse_buffer);
print_r($record);
$parse_buffer = substr($parse_buffer, 4009); //4010?
}
}
The point being that you can't expect to get a full record when you only
read 2048 bytes at a time, and then you can't expect to find record
boundaries if you then parse only half of a record and move on to the
next record when you only got half a record, and then at that point
you're getting just under half of the first record, plus a little bit of
the second record...
Actually, since you know each record is exactly 4009 bytes long, you might
wanna change your buffer size from 2048 to 4009 (or 4010 if that's what
works) and simplify the code a lot.
Course, if they ever re-define #define REPLY_MSG_SIZE 4000 then you'll
have to adjust, so you probably should express everything in terms of your
own REPLY_MSG_SIZE as well, using a http://php.net/define and then writing
things like REPLY_MSG_SIZE + 8 or REPLY_MSG_SIZE + 8 + 1 for the places
where you need to add to get to the byte you want.
Hope all of that makes sense and is of some use...

Re: [PHP] Help with pack unpack functions
First, let me say thanks for responding. My other responses are embedded
within your reply:
What is strange is that I can always get the char data[] structure
member, and sometimes I get meaningful data in a few of the shorts, but
never all of the structure's members at the same time.
Do you consistently get the same problems on the FIRST record returned?
Yes.
Anything after that is suspect, as you may be so far off-sequence that the
rest are meaningless.
What data do you actually get for the first record?
Depends on what formatting I use with the unpack, but I've been able to
get one of the shorts to contain an expected value. I kept the
description short and didn't include the fact that most of the server
responses are much less than the 4K buffer size. But in all cases I seem
to get the char data that appears in the 4K buffer.
Also, call me crazy, but, like, aren't you THROWING AWAY most of your
buffer?...
Well, the code snippet is from a proof of concept. I could easily write
a C-lang client, call it from a PHP exec() call, etc, etc... BUT, that
doesn't help us determine if we can use PHP for this purpose. So, at
this point I don't really care, but I see why you would question my
logic.
Or, in this case, reading only HALF (roughly) of a record at a time.
You read 2048 bytes.
You trim it (probably a bad idea)...
This was robbed from a prior example on www.php.net, but I can remove it
to see if it helps.
You try to unpack all 2048 bytes as if it was a single record.
You ignore anything after that in the buffer, and loop to get 2048 more
bytes.

I think you want something more like this:
$socket_buffer = '';
$parse_buffer = '';
$format = @0/sval0/@1/sval1/@2/sval2/@3/sval3/@4/sval4/@5/sval5/@6/C*;
while ($socket_buffer = socket_read($msgsock, 2048, PHP_BINARY_READ)){
if (false == $little_buffer){
//Your $ret was not defined...
echo Failed socket read , socket_strerror(socket_last_error($msgsock));
//If you are gonna keep going, clear the socket error.
socket_clear_error($msgsock);

while (strlen($parse_buffer) = 4009)){
$record = unpack($format, $parse_buffer);
print_r($record);
$parse_buffer = substr($parse_buffer, 4009); //4010?
}
}
The point being that you can't expect to get a full record when you only

boundaries if you then parse only half of a record and move on to the
next record when you only got half a record, and then at that point
you're getting just under half of the first record, plus a little bit of
the second record...
Makes some sense, I just didn't see it to be a problem at this point,
but maybe it is... I also think that the server is NULL padding the
buffer up to the 4K limit after all of the text is stored in it. (I'll
have to check to validate my theory here).
Actually, since you know each record is exactly 4009 bytes long, you might
wanna change your buffer size from 2048 to 4009 (or 4010 if that's what

Always a good idea for production code...They in this case is ME
anyway! So I'll have no one to blame but myself should this ever occur.
Hope all of that makes sense and is of some use...
Make sense, don't know if it'll help yet, but I'm fixin to try some of
your suggestions. Thanks again.
