 I still cannot figure out if this is a joke or if you're really
 looking for world peace.. If you're serious, you might want to stop
 and take a look at Newton's third law, I quote from wikipedia:
 When a first body exerts a force F1 on a second body, the second body
 simultaneously exerts a force F2 = −F1 on the first body. This means
 that F1 and F2 are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction., or
 simplified To every action there is always an equal and opposite
 reaction.
 It fits also easily on humans, take one step into peace, and it will
 have an effect in opposite direction elsewhere.

 Also, why do you think you can make a better social network than the
 already existing ones? Even the big internet giant Google can't seem
 to make it's social network a big success, and you (without even an
 concrete idea) can do that better?

 You might as well just open a simple website with a 'Like' button and
 ask everyone to like that page, so we end up with peace!:)


Seems like an interesting point. But who says that good and evil are always
cancelling each other out? To me good and evil depend on the point of view.
So, what's good for A could be good for B too but bad for C, and therefore
what's good for C is bad for both A and B? Not necessarily (following a
implies b is not equivalent to b implies a). It gets complicated very
quickly with more parties and we have more than 6 billion! One cannot
really say that an action is good or bad for everyone following your
argument. However, world peace, less pollution and equal or less diverse
wealth would be good for everyone, because of less crime and less risk of
loosing everything. Maybe it would trigger something bad at the other end
of the universe, but the universe is pretty big (so I've heard :-), so what
do we care? I vote for world peace in that sense.

Strongly disagree with people saying Someone else would do it if I
didn't.. That's just a lame excuse to get rich quick, like I heard from
people who sell weapons. Selling ads is not nearly as bad. It's just
annoying if they are too intrusive. Google's ads are not so intrusive and
look what great things Google does with the money they make in terms of
Open Source. I would say Google is the programmers' friend and if anything
the lesser evil. Sure they have ads all over, but I haven't yet been
annoyed by them as much as other popup ads. Besides that I wouldn't be
where I am today without Google (I'm not employed by them in case you're
wondering).

Sorry to make this a serious discussion if you take it that way. :-) Just
hope to get some neurons firing.

 Here might be a way to deal with this political issue, while keeping on
 topic with the world peace PHP project:

 I've had this idea for years, but why not start a technocracy or ultra
 social-democracy that runs on a decentralized server, kind of like P2P
 (Kad, Bitcoins, etc.) -- only problem being the logic running the system
 (say, PHP scripts) would need to be programmed as a whole (so anyone could
 re-program the structure of such a social system, so it functioned the way
 everyone wanted). Think Wikipedia, but completely decentralized -- nobody
 could corrupt the system unless they were a majority. This seems to be the
 direction we're heading in -- what with hidden corruption, and most
 governments being slow processing laws, reforms, etc.

unless they were a majority is the thing that bothers me. Getting a
majority is hard, take for example the Dutch Politics [1]. Our country
is now led by a parliament of 10 different political parties. Getting
things done now is really hard, because each party has their own goals
and finding a majority is for almost impossible. If all the parties
were strictly following their own will, there would probably only a
handful things done. The only way to get things done now is by making
compromises.

Another example is of course religion [2]. You can see that there's no
majority there. Christianity being the largest with 33%. Even if that
would be over 50%, you won't get peace if you say Christianity is the
only correct religion..

I have a very large XML file that I have to process.  It's about 7 GB. 
Some of the individual elements that I need are larger than 8192 bytes.   
I'm trying to write a Stream wrapper class to give me a specific element 
at a time, but I keep running into issues with the stream wrapper and 
fread, stream_get_content functions.

fread will never return more than 8192 bytes (is that a bug?), so I can't 
use that at all.  When I use stream_get_content, and pass in 16384, weird 
things happen in my stream_read method.  If I return 16384 bytes, it gets 
truncated to 8192, and the stream_read method is called again and again, 
until the total returned is 16384.  Normally, stream_read is called twice 
in this case (since it returns 8192 both times).

This really screws up what I'm trying to do with this stream wrapper.  
Admittedly, I don't know much about stream wrappers.  This is my first 
one, and I can't find much relevant documentation on them.  But it 
doesn't seem like it's working correctly to me.  If I ask for 16384 bytes 
with fread, shouldn't it give me 16384 bytes?  And if I return 16384 
bytes when I use stream_get_contents, shouldn't it return 16384 bytes the 
first time?

Thanks for any help.

May seem like a far-fetched idea, but I see it being one of the final things 
to come in a rapidly evolving technological society, replacing most 
republics with a social system more run by the people. Nobody would ever 
again complain about stuff not getting done, when mobs of people could 
actually change the system the way they wanted -- and quicker. 
Socialism/communism/Marxism in the past has never worked, because a 
minority-elite would eventually take over and convert it into a totalitarian 
state with only the mere façade of socialism we see in countries today (not 
exactly the idea Karl Marx had in mind).

And so Dutch governments only last short periods of time, and it takes a long 
time to create a coalition. This is why Proportional Representation is such a 
bad idea. Better to have strong government with a clear mandate, and if you 
don't like it, vote it out next time.

By the way what does any of this have to do with PHP? Nothing, I think.

 one, and I can't find much relevant documentation on them.  But it
 doesn't seem like it's working correctly to me.  If I ask for 16384 bytes
 with fread, shouldn't it give me 16384 bytes?  And if I return 16384
 bytes when I use stream_get_contents, shouldn't it return 16384 bytes the
 first time?

 Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, but PHP manual clearly
states that when using fread on streams you need to call fread in a
loop to get the amount of bytes required, as it will only return 1
packet at a time (TCP/IP are usually 8192 bytes).

(Though Adam is probably right that the builtin XML parser is the best way)

Re: [PHP] stream_read function for registered wrapper class.

2012-09-19 Thread Rob
Sorry, I just realized my replies were going to email instead of the news 
group.

I'm going to try upgrading to php 5.4 so I have access to this:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.stream-set-chunk-size.php

And see if that fixes some of my problems.  Thanks for the suggestions.

[PHP] Re: stream_read function for registered wrapper class.

2012-09-19 Thread Rob
Followup:

I installed php 5.4.7 and tried using stream_set_chunk_size.  It is now 
working as expected with stream_get_contents.

Here is my stream wrapper class:

Here is how it is used:

Hope that helps someone else that is having issues with stream wrappers.

If it ever was alive, it will die the same way as this thread, after a long
discussion...
