[PHP] Array Question
Is there a php function similar to in_array that can detect if a partial value is in an array value or not: e.g. $var1 = big horse;$var2 = small yellow;$var3 = red hydrant; $theArray = array(big blue horse, small yellow bird, giant red hydrant); Is there a way to find out if $var1 in $theArray or $var2 etc.? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] How to pass connection as global variable ?
I have various PHP scripts that use the same database. The startup script default.php sets the connection once for all the scripts.

Thanks again, Cor
Remember that the http protocol is stateless. Every request made is a
new connection to the server. It's due to extra technologies like
cookies (and in this case sessions) that some form of 'state' can be
maintained. However, because there is no communication between client
and server unless the client makes a request you can never actually
determine the _current_ status of your session, only in retrospect you
can. If a user makes a request, you could say the session is 'in
progress', however, after sending that page you don't know if it's still
'in progress' or has ended until you recieve another request, thus
telling you it WAS still in progress.
Now, as for resources and connections: PHP clears up everything when it
finishes sending a response to a request. This does not happen for
certain very specific items which were stored away (like in a database
or in a session, which is usually just a file). For a connection to be
'open' it needs to be able to communicate with both its' sides (client:
your database; and the 'server': PHP), if php 'shuts down' because it
finished the request, it doesn't leave anything of itself behind, and as
such the 'server' of that connection also disappears, thus creating a
broken link which is automatically destroyed. Of course the php engine
is smart and knows this would happen, so it 'cleanly' closes the
connection before disappearing to reappear again (fresh) on a next request.
hope that helps you understand,

Re: [PHP] Creating 'Next' 'Previous' for PHP Photo Gallery
Jim,
Code looks extremely promising well explained - let me give it a try and
work it out. I'm sure to hit snags - but can't thank you enough.
The one thing that comes straight off in my mind looking at the code is -
and I may be addressing this prematurely since I haven't tried the code yet
- but my thumbnails are in a Separate .php page, and each thumbnail links to
the full image which are in a Separate .php page.
The Next Previous link I'm trying to create are to be displayed on the
full image page.
But let me integrate the code and see how I can pass the values along to
pages and make it work.
Thanks again!

I¹m trying to write a Photo Gallery in PHP. Everything else is pretty much
worked out like thumbnails, indexes, titles all the one thing I¹m
stuck at is the Next Previous links for the Photos on the main Photo Page.
It¹s a simple program where you drop images in a folder and glob() picks up
the thumbnails displays them on a page which are automatically linked to
the Full Size Images. This is the code:
?
$ID = $_GET['ID'];
The following code is completely untested. I typed it straight into the email
client.
You might have to track down a few bugs. It should give you a good start
though
# Set your page display limit
$display_limit = 20;
# Collect a list of files
$filelist = glob($ID/thumbnails/*.jpg);
# get the current page number, set the default to 1
$pageNum = 1;
if ( !empty($_GET['pageNum']) ) {
$pageNum = (int)$_GET['pageNum'];
}
# count the total number of files to list
$total_files = count($filelist);
# calculate the total number of pages to be displayed
$total_pages = ceil($total_files/$display_limit);
# Initialize the link holder array
$links = array();
# Since I don't know the name of your script, I assume that it should link to
itself
# So I will use $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] to get the scripts true name
# Create Previous tag is needed
if ( $pageNum 1 ) {
$links[] = a
href='{$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']}?ID={$_GET['ID']}pageNum=.($pageNum-1).'Pre
vious/a;
}
# Create Next tag is needed
if ( $pageNum $total_pages ) {
$links[] = a
href='{$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']}?ID={$_GET['ID']}pageNum=.($pageNum+1).'Nex
t/a;
}
# Display the link if they exist
echo '[ '.join(' | ', $links).' ]';
foreach ($filelist as $key=$value) {
$title = rtrim(basename($value),'.jpg');
$newtitle = preg_replace('/_/', ' ', $title);
?
A HREF=photo.php?photo=?php echo basename($value); ?title=?php echo
$newtitle; ?ID=?php echo $_GET['ID']; ?KEY=?php echo $key; ?
TARGET=photoFrame
IMG SRC=?php echo $ID; ?/thumbnails/?php echo basename($value);
?/A
?php echo $newtitle; ?
?
}
?
I know that $key holds the sequence of images that are being picked up by
glob() - I¹m just trying to figure out a way to use this $key to generate
the Next Previous link. The problem is everything is passed on to a
separate page (photo.php) ... What I¹m thinking is determining which Photo
File would be Next or Previous to the one being selected, and passing that
along to the (photo.php) page. I¹m just not able to figure out how to pick
out the next previous filename and place it in the Query String.
Any suggestions?

Doing it the way I have below will also make it faster because you don't
have to check every registrant to see if they already there - make the
database do the work for you.
$newRegistrant_query = SELECT

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$fields_to_check = array('conName', 'conAddress', 'conCity' . add more
fields here);
foreach ($fields_to_check as $field_name) {
$newRegistrant_query .= $field_name . =' .
mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[$field_name]) . ' AND ;
}
// you can either remove the last AND from the query or just add this on
so you don't need to worry about a mal-formed query.
$newRegistrant_query .= 1=1;
}
Then
$matchQueryResult_result = mysql_query($newRegistrant_query,$connection)
or die
(Query Failed.mysql_error());
$found_registrant = false;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($matchQueryResult_result)) {
$found_registrant = true;
// check your datestamps.
}
// they have never registered before

// make up an insert query and add them.

Or you could use ffmpeg executable to get details about the media file. You will have to parse the response of the executable.

There's not a built in function, but it's not hard to write one:
function partial_in_array($needle, $haystack) {
if (!is_array($needle)) { $needle = array($needle); }
$needle = array_map('preg_quote', $needle);

You can reduce the above statement to the following:

converted.

[PHP] PHP5 objects access/instantiation model
Hi, new to PHP5 and I have a question about the object model.
I want to be able to create a class which is allows abstraction from
specifics. So for one example, imagine a generic database connection wrapper
which can have multiple drivers depending on the database used. Some of the
functionality is generic, some is database specific (mysql_ , odbc_). So:
Class MySQL_driver {
public prop1 ;
public connect() {
echo Foo;
}
public runquery() {
echo Foo;
}
...
}
Class ODBC_driver {
public prop1 ;
public connect() {
echo Foo;
}
public runquery() {
echo Foo;
}
...
}
Class generic {
public $driver = null ;
function __construct($connection_type) {
if $this-connection_type = MySQL {
$this-driver = new MySQL_Driver ;
} else {
$this-driver = new ODBC_Driver ;
}
}
function authenticate { // Using the
non-generic connect() from the selected driver
$this-driver-prop1 = fooey // These references
work fine from within the generic class
echo $this-driver-prop1 ;
echo $this-driver-function1 ;
}
function errors { //
Reporting non-generic errors from the selected driver
}
function debug {
}
...
}
$gen = new generic(MySQL) ; //
Instantiate the generic database object, which determines its own driver
$gen-driver-prop1 = fooey // but they
fail from here
echo $gen-driver-prop1 ;
echo $gen-driver-function1 ;
$gen-authenticate() ; // this
works ok though, so everything is created correctly
So I want to access generic functions as $generic-authenticate(), and
database specific functions $generic-driver-runquery. This allows the top
level code to be able to be completely generic and not know anything about
the underlying database.
But I can't ! I can't find a way of accessing the encapsulated object
(driver) from the instantiator of generic. Is it possible ?
I guess there are lots of workaround ways. I could write lots of
middleman code in generic and use things like __set and __get etc but its
lots of extra overhead. I also know I could use extends but that makes the
code the wrong way around (MySQL_Driver would have to extend generic), hence
the top-level application would have to include code to determine which
driver to create rather than the db object determining its own connection
driver to use. This is true also for just lumping everything in a single
class per db type.
Surely it must be possible ? Or am I missing something ?
I also don't really get the idea of interface and abstract classes ? They
don't seem to be any practical use ? Maybe that's me ? Anyway, not really
relevant to this post ...
Please, please can someone help !!

You want a factory class that creates an instance of the appropriate
driver object. The driver object SHOULD extend the generic class.
?php
class DbFactory
{
function __construct()
{
// :)
}
function getConnection( $type, $params )
{
if( $type == 'MySQL' )
{
return new DB_Driver_MySQL;
}
else
if( $type == 'ODBC' )
{
return new DB_Driver_ODBC;
}
return false;
}
}
class DB_Driver_Generic
{
public $var1;
public $var2;
function __construct()
{
}
function runQuery( $query )
{
}
}
class DB_Driver_MySQL extends DB_Driver_Generic
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
}
class DB_Driver_ODBC extends DB_Driver_Generic
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
}
?

there is a lot of usefulness in these constructs; look into design patterns.
also, there are code libraries already written w/ the abstraction you are
trying to develop.
im not discouraging you from developing your own, but it may be helpful for
you to study some of the other code.

Re: [PHP] PHP5 objects access/instantiation model (correction)
some ideas about class design:
1. properties should normally (read almost always) be private.
2. the apps interface to the DB [connection] is via the 'generic'
class, the app should have to know nothing about the drive object and
should have no direct access to it.
3. use an interface definition for your drivers (so they all share a
common set of method ... a common interface ;-))
this leaves you with the problem of wanting to write as little boilerplate
code for making the functionality each driver class implements available via
the 'generic' class.
I would suggest either a few simple functions like so:
class DB {
function query() {
$args = func_get_args();
return call_user_func_array(array($this-driver, __FUNCTION__),
$args);
}
}
which you can simplify into something like:
class DB {
function __call($meth, $args) {
$func = array($this-driver, $meth)
if (!is_callable($func))
throw new Exception('undefined interface:
'.__CLASS__.'::'$meth);
return call_user_func_array($func, $args);
}
}

Re: [PHP] PHP5 objects access/instantiation model (correction)
Robert,
I looked at your code in InterJinn a couple of times; i havent gone over all
of it mind you but it looks pretty sweet.
have you had a look at any of the other frameworks i mentioned earlier in
this thread?
ez components, onPHP, and now there is a new one ive found (in recent
thread) Radicore. i really like the xsl approach
for templates.
All,
also, more on topic; there are many different ways to use interfaces and
abstract classes in many different design patterns.
they all have purpose, pros and cons. take for instance factory method and
abstract factory; where the former uses inheritance
the later uses composition. the former can produce only a single class of
products, but the abstract base class rarely needs revision;
whereas the later can produce sets of related product classes; yet every
time a new product class is needed or deprecated the
abstract factory [interface] needs revision.
Steve,
you might also check out
http://www.phppatterns.com/docs/start
i dont think its been maintained in a while, but its a great place to start.
also, i think PDO is pretty sweet, but really its only the base of a strong
db abstraction layer, such as what youll find in ez components.

ps.
i cant decide if i should build my own db layer around pdo or go for a
pre-built one from an aforementioned framework; only time will tell :

some ideas about class design:
1. properties should normally (read almost always) be private.

3. use an interface definition for your drivers (so they all share a
common set of method ... a common interface ;-))
this leaves you with the problem of wanting to write as little boilerplate
code for making the functionality each driver class implements available
via
the 'generic' class.
I would suggest either a few simple functions like so:
class DB {
function query() {
$args = func_get_args();
return call_user_func_array(array($this-driver,
__FUNCTION__), $args);
}
}
which you can simplify into something like:
class DB {
function __call($meth, $args) {
$func = array($this-driver, $meth)
if (!is_callable($func))
throw new Exception('undefined interface:
'.__CLASS__.'::'$meth);
return call_user_func_array($func, $args);

It's very different in many respects from other styles of coding. It's an MVC approach for the most part but the way libraries are accessed is different than what I've seen elsewhere. In general class names are only used in two places... when extending a class, and in the registration of a class to a service. Instead classes are registered as services/libraries and instances are retrieved by a general factory mechanism that returns the instance based on the service/library name. In this way almost all aspects of the framework can be overloaded, even if they are core features, without ever touching the core code itself or ever having to change class references within your code since you can just register a different class for the service and all existing uses of that service will now use the newly registered version. This was very useful even before PHP5 got autoload (and even still IMHO) because the loader would load the class's code on an as requested basis. have you had a look at any of the other frameworks i mentioned earlier in this thread? ez components I work with a version of ez components on almost a daily basis (pre-existing CMS that a client had set up) ... it makes me scream because their template engine is godawful because it uses a block approach that requires changing the PHP code if you move blocks out of registered nestings. It's absolutely horrible. The code for the classes is generally disgusting also, but that's just my opinion. Fortunately, I was allowed to hook in InterJinn as needed and so new stuff uses the ez components framework bu generally punts the work to InterJinn modules / services / and templates. We've found run time speed to be much greater for those modules and the maintainability of the content is much, much, easier. , onPHP, and now there is a new one ive found (in recent thread) Radicore. i really like the xsl approach for templates. XSL is nice, but it's complex for the average Joe content developer. When I created InterJinn I wanted something with similar capabilities but without the restriction of well-formed-ness for the HTML content in general (so that existing content could still be adapted with minimal disruption - my new site is XHTML strict). So I created custom tags that can wrap well-formed or not-so-well formed content and process as necessary. Generally speaking though the template engine isn't in any way limited to just custom tags, it can include anything since it's pluggable and extendable. Also, unlike most other template engines, TemplateJinn compiles to the actual PHP code the web server loads, so there's no run-time hit, and in fact, there can be a run time bonus on some aspects. For instance headers, footers, etc, etc can be punted to separate templates but at compile time they are brought together to create the final page. That's not to say TemplateJinn can't be used at run-time, it can be, and it is in the case of the ez components hooking since ezcomponents uses a front end loader. Cheers, Rob. -- ...

Hi, new to PHP5 (and the forums evidently !) and I have a question
about the
object model.
I want to be able to create a class which is allows abstraction from
specifics. So for one example, imagine a generic database connection
wrapper
which can have multiple drivers depending on the database used. Some
of the
functionality is generic, some is database specific (mysql_ , odbc_).
So:
Class MySQL_driver {
public prop1 ;
public connect() {
echo Foo;
}
public runquery() {
echo Foo;
}
...
}
Class ODBC_driver {
public prop1 ;
public connect() {
echo Foo;
}
public runquery() {
echo Foo;
}
...
}
Class generic {
public $driver = null ;
function __construct($connection_type) {
if $this-connection_type = MySQL {
$this-driver = new MySQL_Driver ;
} else {
$this-driver = new ODBC_Driver ;
}
}
// Using the non-generic connect() from the selected driver
function authenticate {
$this-driver-prop1 = fooey
// These references work fine from within
// the generic class
echo $this-driver-prop1 ;
echo $this-driver-function1 ;
}
// Report non-generic errors from the selected driver
function errors {
}
function debug {
}
...
}
$gen = new generic(MySQL) ;
// Instantiate the generic database object, which
// determines its own driver
$gen-driver-prop1 = fooey
// but they fail from here
echo $gen-driver-prop1 ;
echo $gen-driver-function1 ;
// this works ok though, so everything is created
// correctly
$gen-authenticate() ;
So I want to access generic functions as $generic-authenticate(), and
database specific functions $generic-driver-runquery. This allows
the top
level code to be able to be completely generic and not know anything
about
the underlying database.
But I can't ! I can't find a way of accessing the encapsulated object
(driver) from the instantiator of generic. Is it possible ?
I guess there are lots of workaround ways. I could write lots of
middleman code in generic and use things like __set and __get etc
but its
lots of extra overhead. I also know I could use extends but that makes
the
code the wrong way around (MySQL_Driver would have to extend generic),
hence
the top-level application would have to include code to determine
which
driver to create rather than the db object determining its own
connection
driver to use. This is true also for just lumping everything in a
single
class per db type.
Surely it must be possible ? Or am I missing something ?
I also don't really get the idea of interface and abstract classes ?
They
don't seem to be any practical use ? Maybe that's me ? Anyway, not
really
relevant to this post ...
Please, please can someone help !!

// the generic class
echo $this-driver-prop1 ;
echo $this-driver-function1 ;
}
// Report non-generic errors from the selected driver
function errors {
}
function debug {
}
...
}
$gen = new generic(MySQL) ;
// Instantiate the generic database object, which // determines its
own driver
$gen-driver-prop1 = fooey
// but they fail from here
echo $gen-driver-prop1 ;
echo $gen-driver-function1 ;
// this works ok though, so everything is created // correctly
$gen-authenticate() ;
So I want to access generic functions as $generic-authenticate(), and
database specific functions $generic-driver-runquery. This allows
the top level code to be able to be completely generic and not know
anything about the underlying database.
But I can't ! I can't find a way of accessing the encapsulated object
(driver) from the instantiator of generic. Is it possible ?
I guess there are lots of workaround ways. I could write lots of
middleman code in generic and use things like __set and __get etc
but its lots of extra overhead. I also know I could use extends but
that makes the code the wrong way around (MySQL_Driver would have to
extend generic), hence the top-level application would have to include
code to determine which driver to create rather than the db object
determining its own connection driver to use. This is true also for
just lumping everything in a single class per db type.
Surely it must be possible ? Or am I missing something ?
I also don't really get the idea of interface and abstract classes ?
They
don't seem to be any practical use ? Maybe that's me ? Anyway, not
really relevant to this post ...
Please, please can someone help !!
Thanks

Re: [PHP] Checking Post Data against DB Data
Doing a select to get every record, and then looping through them all,
concatenating a bunch of stuff together, and then using PHP to test ==
is not very efficient...
Why not just:
$sql = array_map('mysql_real_insert_string', $POST);
$query = select count(*) from central ;
$query .= where conName = $sql[conName] ;
$query .=and conAddress = $sql[conAddress] ;
.
.
.
$query .=and SOME_DATETIME_FIELD_WHEN_THEY_REGISTERED =
date_sub(now(), interval 1 day) ;
Also note that your are currently comparing the $_POST['timeStamp']
which is *probably* generated at the time the HTML form was sent with
time(); which is when the script is processing, which will be MUCH
less than one day, unless a user opens up the form, walks away for 24
hours, and then comes back to complete registration...
You need a field in the database from previous registration to compare
to time().
Also note that, in general, it's very very very easy to subvert this
by simply changing non-essential data in the input.
E.g., I live at:
6112 N Wolcott
6112 North Wolcott
6112 N. Wolcott
6112 N Wolcott Ave
.
.
.
I could easily register 20 times a day, if I like, and you'd never
catch it.
So, given all that, and given what you are TRYING to do, I'd suggest
just going on their PHONE number, and requiring a valid phone number
to win or JUST going on their email address and requiring a valid
email.
It all depends how serious you are about the 1 per day rule, though...

Re: [PHP] Creating 'Next' 'Previous' for PHP Photo Gallery
Don't try to figure out the name of the photo that is next/previous.
Just do it by number and use http://php.net/array_slice after you do
glob.
This is a bit of a hack, as, technically, the Operating System is NOT
required to return the files in any particular order, nor does glob
document itself as returning them in order...
So, you could also throw in a 'sort' or you can just live with the
fact that it's only going to work by coincidence...
If the number of files in one directory is HUGE, sort may be too
expensive...
But probably not, so try it with the sort first and then see.

the Next Previous link. The problem is everything is passed on to

that

Any suggestions?

For the archives: That's not quite 100% correct... If you've set PhpIniDirectory in Apache2, for example, and php.ini isn't in that directory, php will fall back onto looking for it in the default compile-in location, and then it will tell you in phpinfo() that it couldn't find php.ini in that compiled-in location, with no mention that it looked in the PhpIniDirectory as well... I spent about half an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with my httpd.conf because of this... Then threw php.ini into the directory and it worked just fine.

I guess in the included source you could code aorund not having the correct URL parameters and default to something sensible, but that still doesn't address the content/request mismatch. Bought a house, and I've been away from the list, so I'm resurrecting this only to point out... As far as I'm concerned, if it requires a login to see X, and you ask for X and aren't logged in, seeing the login page with the URL X *IS* the perfectly valid answer for what you should see. If I needed Google to index my content that requires a login, then I don't need a login because that's just a plain silly setup... Google's gonna have a bunch of pages that users can't see unless they login? Then it's not a login; It's a scam to collect a bunch of user data. :-) :-) :-) PS And I could just look at the Google User Agent and not require login for that, which anybody could forge, but so what? They'll get the same damn info by knowing what to search for in Google anyway, if I'm giving Google the content without a login. I guess what you're suggesting is a lot like using a relative URL in a redirect... it works, it saves some time, but it's not quite right ;) Cheers, Rob. -- ...

Re: [PHP] Checking Post Data against DB Data
kvigor wrote: OK Chris, I understand that we're checking checking the form data and escaping it, but can explain what's going on in the WHERE clause and 1=1 tad bit more. Instead of looking at all records in your original attempt (which will work fine for 10 records), you limit what you are looking at (which works a lot better for 50,000 records). The 1=1 is something that the database will remove internally but basically it stops an invalid query: select * from table where a='b' and c='d' and That's why I said you can either remove the last and: select * from table where a='b' and c='d' or add 1=1: select * from table where a='b' and c='d' and 1=1 They work out the same. -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
