[PHP] Got HTML5 History API + caching LICKED, I think, grin
Hi Folks.. I could waste a lot of text on what I've accomplished during the last months, but the easiest thing is if you have a (another) look at (the source of) http://mediabeez.ws I think you'll like my opensourced work :) Feedback is appreciated.

Rest assured, all the javascript for my animated widgets combined is about 25kb. The artwork for simple animations is about 100kb per button/menu-item theme. The fact that I demo how to put video on a button and thus end up with nearly a dozen button themes that are about 2MB each, is just taking advantage of the fast links that are available in much of the world. About me testing only on windows, you're right about that and I'll see if I can do something to improve my testing regime. For now i'm dependent on your patience and bugreports tho. And I had no idea winrar made such crappy zip files, I'll look into a replacement very soon.

Okay, I don't wanna get into an argument here.. Shame, because I'd love to see you try to defend a position that promotes wasting resources just because they're there. This is not a new thing - ever-increasing computing resources have always led to this short-sighted view in the inexperienced, but trust me when I say you'll regret it when you're paying for the bandwidth being used by thousands of people simultaneously using a site that's using your framework. Why do you think other libraries such as jquery recommend minifying their code before deployment, and then serving it via gzip? Every bit and byte counts, especially as you scale up. The javascripts are currenlty being served unminified via gzip, because minifying them all the time creates too much overhead for me. If you want them minified you can easily do that yourself. Anyway, I'm not trying to get into an argument (it's rare that I do), but I do recommend that you take in what I've said on this issue. The size of the data you're sending down the pipe matters if you want your library to be used for anything serious, and no amount of artwork or pretty pictures will distract anyone for long. The download size will hardly be an issue for site operators, whom i seriously suspect will be on faster links. And the usage size doesn't have to be large, as mentioned earlier.

Time for partying with the live mix at frequence3.fr now.. Just adding my own two pennies to this lot. It does seem a little irresponsible to create such a large (in size) website, especially when you consider that in many countries people don't have high-speed or unlimited access. Even the UK has lots of areas with only basic Internet access via dial-up lines, and plenty of people rely on mobile dongles to connect, which are most often metered and slow. On to the technicals of what you wanted us to look at, because I think this thread has become slightly derailed from the original question. The original comment was that I had licked HTML5 History API + caching. No-one has even commented on that part. - The 'Home: Downloads, Blog' link at the top doesn't work for me at all. I'm using Fx 3.6 on Fedora 14 True, coz that link should point to the homepage. I decided not to spread my content out over tons of pages, or to create redundant content. - - The drop-down menu appears odd, with some items appearing over the others That's by design but can be changed in the source quite easily (animatedJavascriptMenu-1.0.0.source.js) - - The products menu at the top does nothing when clicked on Same as the Home:Downloads,Blog link. - - Other 'pages' take a long time to load in Strange, they don't here, and it should drop to 0 once the cache is filled up. - Sorry, but it really doesn't look very professional when basic things (like links) don't work at all. I'd hate to have any kind of disability because I doubt any screen readers would work, and using your site with only a keyboard would probably be just as impossible. You can probably use the links in the content to get around the site. Sorry the menu isn't accessible with keyboard, but that's something I don't feel like making my problem right now. I want to create content sites with these components, not get stuck in code issue after code issue. But hey, if you want to improve the components, and send me the result back, I'll surely credit you where appropriate. That might seem like harsh feedback, but I do have quite a strong view on accessibility. Ok. As I said, the content links can be used to browse around. Not ideal, but it will do imo.

This comment shows how little you understand about the world from your haven of high-speed internet. Part of the beauty of the internet is that it allows people to disseminate information on a shoestring. I guarantee that 90+% of the people behind the billions of websites in the world access the internet through what you would probably consider a stone age connection. It may surprise you to know that two thirds of the people on the planet do not have any access to the internet at all: http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm Just remember one thing: If you see something obviously wrong, why not send me the fix? I will, if you pay me. Open source developers don't do what they do just because it's there, at least not for the most part. They do it because their goals align with those of the project, or because the project presents a particular challenge. What are your goals for this project? Why did you develop it instead of using an existing library/framework? Here's why I won't be sending you any fixes… * There doesn't appear to be anything your library does that makes it stand out from the thousands of similar libraries that already exist, many of which are far more mature and have large numbers of contributors. * It's a very, very long way off being suitable for usage as a black box. * I see absolutely no value in using your library, either personally or professionally, never mind contributing to it. * Your attitude to the most basic and important advice you've been given practically guarantees that getting involved would be incredibly frustrating and fruitless. Oh, and in case it wasn't clear, you'd need to pay me *a lot*! I don't mean any offence, and I really do applaud your efforts, but in my opinion you need a sharp dose of reality. I encourage you to continue to work on your library because this sort of thing is usually a great learning experience, but don't expect people to help you out when your response to the most basic advice is that's too much overhead for me. Add the fact that you didn't even respond to the very serious security issues I raised and you can't possibly be surprised if nobody wants anything to do with it. Oh, and it doesn't matter if that particular code is not actually used because it's likely indicative of the overall quality of the rest of the library. -Stuart Thanks for taking the time to explain your critiques. It's just that I don't put out my software completely free to next be overflowed with more work based on relatively vague descriptions of what would be wrong with it. I put it out there so more experienced programmers can send me improved versions. If you don't feel like doing that for free, that's your right of course. The relatively crappy code in /code/sitewide_rv/lib_fileSystem.php is certainly not indicative of the quality of the rest of the library, I'll guarantee you. Just take a look at the output of get_animatedJavascriptWidgets_javascript.php in the source of my http://mediabeez.ws, and you'll see that that code is indeed of higher quality. As for minifying the javascripts, it would take me another day, maybe 2, to build a script for that. And I don't think it would matter much, all the animatedJavascriptWidgets JS is gzipped 25kb and if I shave 5kb off that (upper estimate) then I don't consider that worth the effort, at this particular time.

[PHP] including PHP code from another server..
Hi.
My last thread got derailed into a javascript and even photoshop
discussion, and while I can't blame myself for that really, this time I
would like to bring a pure PHP issue to your scrutiny.
I run several sites now, on the same shared hoster, but with such a setup
that I cannot let PHP require() or include() code from a central place
located on another domain name on the same shared hosting account, not the
normal way at least.
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is a completely different path for each of the
domains on the same hosting account, and obviously you can't access one
domain's directory from another domain.
Hoster support's reply is A) I dont know code, B) You can't include code
from one domain on another and C) use multiple copies, 1 for each domain
But that directory (my opensourced /code in the zip on
http://mediabeez.wsbtw), takes a while to update to my hoster, many
files.
Plus, as I add more domains that use the same code base, my overhead and
waiting time increases lineary at a steep incline.
So.. Since all of this code is my own, and tested and trusted, I can just
eval(file_get_contents('
http://sitewithwantedcode.com/code/get_php.php?file=/code/sitewide_rv/autorun.php'))
hehe
And get_php.php takes care of the nested includes by massaging what it
retrieves. Or so is my thinking.
The problem I'm facing, and for which I'm asking your most scrutinous
feedback, is:
How would you transform _nested_ require(_once) and include(_once)? I
haven't figured out yet how to transform a relative path include/require.
What about for instance a require_once($fileIwantNow)?
I do both in my /code tree atm.
For my own purposes, I could massage my own PHP in /code/libraries_rv and
/code/sitewide_rv manually, but I'd also like to be able to include a
single copy of the 3rd party free libs that I use in
/code/libraries(/adodb-5.10 for instance). And god knows how they might
include and require.
Plus, I'd like to turn this into another free how-to blog entry on
http://mediabeez.ws, plus accompanying code, so I think I might find some
free tips here again.
Greetings,
from spring sun soaked amsterdam.nl,
Rene

Code that you write on a windows box might work different/not work at all on a linux machine. Think of different filesystem, different Apache/PHP versions, etc. I have to develop on windows too sometimes, and what I usually do in such cases is first push the code to a subdomain test.mydomain.com. If that works correctly, I push it over to www.mydomain.com. So far the code that I've written and am using works OK on both windows and unix. But I've just booted up my ubuntu installation and am currently upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10, maybe that fixes the issues I was having with it, and if it does I'll seriously consider using ubuntu as my primary dev environment again..
Re: [PHP] Re: updating code asap to multiple domains, windows to unix, with source control software (was: Re: [PHP] including PHP code from another server..)
hey, I just read the rsync man page for the first time, and while it sure looks simple enough for my taste, wouldn't updating multiple remote domains be like a whole series of the same FTP updates to these different domain directories there? In other words, take a long time because of my 200kb/s link to the unix hoster?

[PHP] securing a script that exec()s
Hi.
I have a script that uses imagemagick's convert command on the commandline
to get it's work done.
These calls to exec('convert [params]') take params from the end-user via a
html form, so is very unsecure.
The intention is that the end-user only runs this script on localhost, from
localhost.
So now i'm checking $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']===$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] to
see if I can allow the script to be used.
But unfortunately, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is my external IP, and
$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] is my internal IP.
How would I best fix this?
[PHP] Re: request for feedback on logAndHandler
bit bad timing, but i've decided to try out ubuntu instead of windows on that skatescene.biz machine.. i'll try to have the test url up asap or move it to my hoster within a few hours.

Simply log on your box via ssh (if its a unix system) and run your script from console or with textmode browser lynx. But the best solution would be to secure the exec call.

I've managed to install msysgit and get it to work on my windows dev box, so far so good. Now, I'm wondering how to set up my repositories. The last cvs I used was Microsoft's visual source control back in the 90's, so I'm very rusty. At the same time, I'd prefer not to experiment too much.. I've got a tree structure in a folder called simply code, that I have in several locations on my windows box. Each site that I develop for has a folder in .../htdocs/sites/somedomain.com, and many of these sites will need a copy of the common code folder in them. I can restrict myself to developing in one domain's subdir only. The non-common code for each domain is designed to run from any $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] and any sub-directory it happens to be in. In other words, http://my-dev-box.biz/sites/somedomain.com/ will show the same thing from windowze as http://somedomain.com will from shared hosted linux. I would also like to version control the non-common code for each domain. And I would like to store the entire repository on my windows box at home in 2 or 3 specific locations (on seperate disks encrypted with truecrypt.org, and also a truecrypted usb disk, if and when that's plugged in). For distributing the common code to the shared hosted live server (my workflow is to check finalized changes on my win box against all my sites that used the common code base, before deploying to the shared hoster live server), I can simply FTP one finalized copy and use the simplest of rm -rf and cp -r commands in a short script to distribute the changes. I could even do without the PHP filesync code I posted earlier (altho it was fun to build! :) That darn hoster of mine won't support git on shared hosting, only on much more expensive virtual dedicated and dedicated plans :( But I've also found http://serverfault.com/questions/26836/setting-up-a-git-repo-on-my-godaddy-hosting-plan and http://www.lyraphase.com/wp/uncategorized/how-to-build-git-for-a-host-with-no-compiler/ that show me how I might get git running on my (kinda lame now) shared hosting account. Maybe a stupid question, but would perhaps copying the common code around with a simple script be faster than multiple pushes by git?

[PHP] I need a good access and error log..
Hi. I've been using Google Analytics, and I'm sure I'm using the analytics code correctly, but when I checked my dev server's apache access logs (dozens of hits per day) against what Google Analytics reports (zip, zero, nada), I realized I needed something different. BTW, I'm not the only one to report this problem (https://www.google.nl/search?aq=fsourceid=chromeie=UTF-8q=google+analytics+lower+number) I thought of rolling something of my own, a PHP-MySQL based access+error log, add a viewer for it (http://dygraphs.com/ perhaps), and spend the next month perfecting it.. But before I start coding, I thought it would be better to ask you all what you use to see who's visiting your sites and when. Oh, I need something that will work on shared hosting (php+mysql). Thanks for your input. (and purists; I couldn't think of a better place to post this, as this is a large community of web developers who use the same language as I do. I may even end up writing an opensourced php logging facility for you) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I wasn't happy with the fact that Google Analytics doesn't record many of the hits on my sites, so I decided to roll my own analytics software, and opensource it. It's now in a state where I can request early comments. You can view a demo at http://mediabeez.ws/stats (under construction, may fail at times) (browser compatibility may be an issue, I built it with chrome, should work in firefox too, but won't (ever) in IE.) If you click on the graph while the details for a given day are visible, you will see the errors for that day in a DIV below the graph. Normally you'd hide the error details and $hits for anyone's who's not registred as a developer, of course. I've turned it on for all at the moment, so you can comment on that feature and review my results array $hits. I've opted, for simplicity of design, to store all settings I thought could be remotely interesting in a mysql db (see attached sql init file) (which is filled from PHP every time a page is delivered, and again from JS when the page has initialized fully, or does a HTML5 History API location.href change), and then use PHP to retrieve all rows for a given datetime-range, and do the totals calculations in a php loop. I'm only keeping 1 row from the db in memory at any given time, but I'm building up a large deep array with the totals information in the php loop that goes over the rows. I'm wondering if this is a good approach, though. Maybe I should let the totals be calculated by the mysql server instead. I was thinking to let the totals calculations stay in php, and be executed from a cron job every hour. Only for the current month would you need to re-calculate every hour. I haven't figured out yet how to for instance only re-calculate the last hour, store results per hour, and then calculate the day and month totals from that hourly cache data when needed. I don't have a clue about how big companies do their totals calculations (for sites that get way more hits than mine, which is something i'd like to be able to support with my own analytics code), and would like to know how big companies do this.

Putting it on github will increase the popularity, and will probably also make developers want to 'upgrade' your code. It's up to you. Ok, I'll start putting it on github starting with the next release then (may be a few weeks).. A few other comments: - Maybe you should think about another name? rajmv.. is not easy to remember. It's my initials, I don't want to change it, and for the js rajmv.* components you can do var easierName = rajmv; - You're formatting is confusing, for example function names. They start with lowerCamelCase, and then you go on underscore_formatting.. Yea, that's my coding style and I don't want to change it, sorry. - in json_encode_*, there's probably a better way to write if ( $c == ' ' || $c == '' || $c == ' || you could use in_array with a predefined array for example. - Why do you have atleast 4 large encode functions? If you really need 4 different, then you might want to think about moving shared code to sub functions and call them instead of duplicating so much code (especially the large if statements look ugly being duplicated 4 times) Ok, added to my to-do list the cleanup of the json_encode routines, and stripping them out of my htmlMicroscope component

Anyways, I'd like to return to the point of my OP, which is to get some end-user feature requests for my analytics code.

I've kinda run out of ideas, besides ofcourse serving slightly different stats and graphs for non-developer viewers, and the error details only to developers. That one's obvious. And another obvious one, I also think that plugging in location software by http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity will be a good idea, altho I'd probably opt to work with their data in a sql table rather than the faster php mod that they offer, coz we can't use that from shared hosting (I think, plz correct me if I'm wrong). But maybe you can throw me some not so obvious ones to include in this free analytics software ;) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] progress indicators in browsers for long running php scripts?
Hi.. I've got several scripts now that may run for a long time; the self-test script for my htmlMicroscope, my serviceLog component when it calculates totals for a large number of hits, a curl script that is likely to one day crawl a hundred or so RSS urls in a single update, etc, etc. I'd like to build a generic system (and opensource it) to allow PHP to execute a long running script, and somehow get a progress bar with what am I doing now-status-msg for such processes, in the browser. The easiest thing, and maybe the only way this will work, is to load up a site's framework html (so as to display the site), then call the long-running script via ajax. However, a long-running script needs set_time_limit(0), which is something shared hosters just won't do for browsers. A moderately good shared hoster will however allow you to set_time_limit(0) for PHP cron jobs. So I'd need to build a cron PHP daemon that listens for new tasks. That won't be much of a problem, I've done it before. But the task definition itself puzzles me a lot still. I suppose I'd need an ID for the task/job, and include in the task def what worker-php-script and worker-php-function to call, with also the parameters for the worker function. The worker function would then call back certain daemon functions to push status updates to the browser. And the browser can then just kick off the task, and poll every 5 seconds or so for very brief status updates in JSON format. This is how I can import videos of any length into my CMS, and convert them to flash video aswell (even optionally converting on another, dedicated server). Once again I'm asking you all for input and tips before I begin on this new workDaemon component of mine.. I suppose most of you'd want a neat PHP object of it? Not my usual procedural-only PHP coding? With regards, and eager to hear your tips, Rene Veerman -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] long running php script won't complete :(
Hi. I've got a piece of code that builds up a multi-meg test array for my opensourced http://mediabeez.ws/products/htmlMicroscope var_dump() improvement, and when I run it for longer than about 20 minutes, the browser just calls it quits.. :( Firefox, and chrome. I'd like to do this with a browser call, if all else fails I suppose I can run the generation of the test array from the commandline, but I prefer calling from the browser.. So, I'm doing ob_start(), then start the main loop which does echo '.'; ob_flush(); flush();. I've got my KeepAliveTime set to 25 seconds, as per http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/891/ And I'm calling this from my browser to the domain name that points back to the machine I run the browser on, latest wampserver on windows 7. Calling via localhost doesn't work somehow. Is there anything obvious I've missed? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Re: how to walk async recursively over an object, doing work (in right order) per leaf
I think I've got it figured out now..
My solution is to async build up a flat list of items (from the
recursive object) to process first, then do another async loop (which
I'll build soon) to do the work per item, and when that's done,
replace the placeholder with the result.
This code works on a custom datastructure that looks like this;
{
hmData : {
mijnDataA : 'a',
mijnDataB : 'b',
mijnSubKeyA : {
hmData : {
mijnDataX : 'x'
},
hmSettings : {
// app-specifc values for the object with key 'mijnDataX'
}
}
},
hmSettings : {
// app-specific values for the object with keys 'mijnDataA',
'mijnDataB', and 'mijnSubKeyA'
}
}
Then, the actual code to build up a flat work list of this recursive
array, up to a certain level deep (levelsAtOnce) is;
printNextLevel : function (pvCmd) {
if (
typeof pvCmd.val == 'object'
typeof pvCmd.val.hmStats == 'object'
typeof pvCmd.val.hmData == 'object'
) {
//if (pvCmd.keyValueName
pvCmd.keyValueName!='')
pvCmd.val.hmStats.keyValueName=pvCmd.keyValueName; //bit of a hack, i
agree.
var td = typeof pvCmd.val.hmData;
var d = pvCmd.val.hmData;
} else {
var td = typeof pvCmd.val;
var d = pvCmd.val;
};
rajmv.hms.tools.printNextLevel_scan (pvCmd,
rajmv.hms.tools.printNextLevel_buildDatanodes);
return {
html : 'trtdHave Yet To Render
This/td/tr'
};
},
printNextLevel_scan : function (pvCmd, callback) {
if (!pvCmd.scanResults) {
pvCmd.scanResults = [{level:1,
datanode:pvCmd.scanPointer}];
pvCmd.scanIdx = 0;
pvCmd.scanCount = 0;
pvCmd.lastPause = 0;
pvCmd.scanCallback = callback;
}
rajmv.hms.tools.printNextLevel_scanItem (pvCmd);
pvCmd.scanCount++;
//rajmv.log (2, 'pvCmd.scanIdx='+pvCmd.scanIdx+',
scanResults.length-1='+(pvCmd.scanResults.length-1));
if (pvCmd.scanIdx==pvCmd.scanResults.length-1) {
if (typeof pvCmd.scanCallback=='function') {
pvCmd.scanCallback (pvCmd);
}
return true; // scanning done!
}
var pauseFactor = pvCmd.scanCount / 7;
if (pauseFactor pvCmd.lastPause + 1) {
setTimeout (function () {
pvCmd.lastPause = pauseFactor;
rajmv.hms.tools.printNextLevel_scan(pvCmd);
}, 50);
} else {
rajmv.hms.tools.printNextLevel_scan(pvCmd);
};
return false; // not done yet
},
printNextLevel_scanItem : function (pvCmd) {
var it = pvCmd.scanResults[pvCmd.scanIdx];
if (!it || !it.datanode) return false;
var tit = typeof it.datanode;
if (tit=='object' it.datanode!==null
it.datanode!==undefined) {
if (!it.keys it.level=pvCmd.levelsAtOnce) {
it.keys = Object.keys (it.datanode);
it.keyIdx = 0;
}
}
if (it.keys) {
if (it.keyIdxit.keys.length) {
var doUntil = it.keyIdx+20;
while (it.keyIdxdoUntil
it.keyIdxit.keys.length-1) {
rajmv.hms.tools.printNextLevel_scanKey (pvCmd);
it.keyIdx++;
pvCmd.scanCount++;
if
(it.keyIdx==it.keys.length-1) {
