file_get_contents() ?

Hi to all.
Let's say there is a class
class Box
{
var $box_title;
var $box_content;
function __construct()
{
$this->box = '';
}
function box_title($title)
{
$this->title = $title;
}
function box_content($content)
{
$this->content = $content;
}
function make_box()
{
$this->box = '<h3>'.$this->box_title.'</h3>'.$this->box_content;
}
function get_box()
{
return $this->box;
}
}
$box = new Box();
$box->box_title('PHP Classes');
$box->box_content('Starting with PHP 5, the object model was
rewritten to allow for better performance and more features. This
was a major change from PHP 4. PHP 5 has a full object model.')
$box->make_box();
echo $box->get_box();
This works fine.
The problem I have is how to "include" a file as box_content? it
could be plain text, but it could be a form or some kind of code.
$box->box_include(include(/path/to/file/file.php)) doesn't work, of course.
Wrapping up the whole code in a variable doesn't make a sense too:
# file.php
$content = '
<form method="post" action="$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']">
Email = <input type=text name=email>
Pass = <input type=password name=pass>
<input type=submit value=Submit>
</form>';
# main.php
$box = new Box();
$box->box_title('PHP Classes');
include(file.php);
$box->box_content($content);
$box->make_box();
echo $box->get_box();
Also, I'm sure I read once it's not correct to print directly from a
class. First return a value/result to "main" code and then print.
Correct?

Couldn't you just do something like:
function box_content($file = NULL)
{
$content = file_exists($file) ? include($file) : NULL;
$this->content = $content;
}
It really depends what is being included (text, HTML, PHP etc).
Personally I would create a different method for each different type
as they will have to be treated and returned differently.
Gibbs
No. It doesn't work.
And yes, the content of the "box" could be anything.

Wrong approach.
Right is:
$content = file_get_contents('file.php');
$box->box_content($content);

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,

Hey guys,
Haven't posted in a long time... Happy Memorial Day! I have an issue
with exception handling. I'm using a framework that throws a
"Database_Exception" object. I was expecting catch (Exception $var) to
be sufficient to catch this, but it doesn't. I have to do catch
(Database_Exception $var) to make it work. I've been reading that
Exception should be sufficient, since every exception object is a child
class of Exception. Did this perhaps change in 5.4? I think it was
working properly in 5.3, but I'm not sure.
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!

Look at the definition of "Database_Exception" and see if it extends Exception,
I'll guess it doesn't.
Nothing changed in PHP 5.4 to that.

Hi James,
You would have to catch Database_Exception. It is also good practice to
also always catch exception afterwards.
Ex:
Class Database_Exception extends Exception{
Public function __construct($message){
parent::__construct($message);
}
}
Try{
$pdo = new PDO();
If($pdo === false){
Throw new Database_Exception("Failed To Connect");
}
}
Catch(Database_Exception $e){
Echo $e->getMessage();
}
Catch(Exception $e){
Echo $e->getMessage();
}

Hey Marco,
Thanks for the reply! That was the first thing I checked.
class Database_Exception extends \FuelException {}
class Fuel_Exception extends \Exception {}
It's extending Exception, as expected. Also, can you throw classes that
don't extend Exception? It was always my understanding that doing so
would cause a fatal error.

I was right. From the documentation
(http://php.net/manual/en/language.exceptions.php):
"The thrown object must be an instance of the Exception
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.exception.php> class or a subclass
of Exception <http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.exception.php>. Trying
to throw an object that is not will result in a PHP Fatal Error."

Thanks for the reply! I saw this comment in the documentation

Well look at that..
class James_Exception extends \Exception{
function __construct($message){
parent::__construct($message);
}
}
try{
throw new James_Exception('Testing Exception Catch-All');
}
catch(Exception $e){
print_r($e);
}
Output:
"James_Exception Object
(
[message:protected] => Testing Exception Catch-All..."

Maybe "catch(Exception $e)" should be "catch(\Exception $e)"?

Ah, I guess that is the problem. Your application framework uses namespaces.
I guess you should try
catch (\Exception $e)
instead of
catch (Exception $e)

This is a bit of a shameless plug, but it is a Friday and a pretty
special weekend over here.
I recently got to work on something a bit fun at work in my spare time
and they liked it so much that it got used internally to celebrate the
jubilee weekend.
This is the result http://jubilee.themlondon.com
For those of you interested, the leg-work is done by a bunch of PHP
scripts run in the background via cron, split into 3 tasks:
1. A script goes out and searches Twitter for tweets that mention
the jubilee, one instance per keyword and records those to a DB
to limit the draw on the Twitter API
2. A second script goes over those tweets and pulls in all the
non-default profile images for each unique user
3. Lastly, the image is built as 12 separate tiles every half hour,
using PHP and GD to match the average colour of each profile pic
to a spot on the image, and then these are stitched together for
the final image
Anyway, hope you guys all have a great weekend, more so if you're
unlucky enough to be working over the whole 4 days :-/

Hi,
as I accidentally found out that PHP allows default argument values
to occur not only at the end of parameter list:
function ( Classname $a, Classname $b = null, Classname $c ) ...
Unfortunately, documentation does not state what is supposed to happen in
such situation.
It appears $b can be an instance of Classname or a null.
I've draw up simple test case (https://gist.github.com/2829626) to verify
my assumption
and it seems to work at least since PHP 5.3.0. It is extremely useful to
allow null
value and retain the power of type hints at the same time.
Is there anything else to test? Does it work for your setup? Can it be
used that way?
And if yes, can it be officially documented?
Do not hesitate to prove I'm wrong.

AFAICT that is a brilliant idea - put a watch on the var(s) until I can trace
just exactly where the offending line is.

I have yet to bring my tools up to speed to do that here in PHP. I won't have
time before this thing is out the door.. but thanks for reminding me I need
to check out something like xdebug sooner than later.

Greetings, all;
Have you ever wanted to get directly involved in the PHP project
in an official capacity, but don't have the time, resources, or
knowledge required to contribute to the core, documentation, or other
roles? Did you know about our Official Mirrors program?
Starting today, we are putting out an open call to all web
development firms, web hosts, ISPs, and academic institutions to apply
to our official php.net mirror waiting list. And if you're
interested, please, read on. If not, delete this email with extreme
prejudice and muttered profanity.
We're presently undergoing a complete overhaul of the mirror
infrastructure, and will quite likely need to replace some of the
mirrors in some countries. It's for this reason that we want to
invite others to join the program and help support one of the world's
most popular and most prolific open source projects in history. Sure,
it's a short history, but still --- it makes for impressive
discussions at the pub, should you find yourself surrounded by
like-minded geeks.
Who should apply?
Any web development firm, web hosting provider, ISP, or recognized
academic institution capable of providing a LA*P server running PHP
5.3.10+ or PHP 5.4.0+ with at least 60GB bandwidth per month allocated
at 10Mbps or better, with the server physically located in the country
for which you wish to provide service.
Who should not apply?
Third-party sponsors, those who want to try to run the mirror from
their Blackberry, people without servers located in the respective
country for which they're applying, shared hosting clients, Droids,
Borg, Klingons, Romulans, toddlers, and the gum disease known as
"gingivitis."
Want to know more?
Please ask.
Want to join the waiting list?
Fill out the form at http://php.parasane.net/mirrors/waitinglist.php
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled Friday, already in
progress. Unless it's already Saturday in your time zone, in which
case you've been warped through a time-shift paradox. Way to go.

Hi all,
I built a system in PHP/mySQL where a group of users post events, sign-
up for events, change their arrival times, remove thier names from
events, and post related notes on the events. Each time an action is
done, an email is generated to the entire group that their has been a
change. Pretty standard stuff...
Today I just got an Mail Delivery System email with this error:
Domain dwdcweb.info has exceeded the max emails per hour (350/350
(100%)) allowed. Message will be reattempted later
I contacted my VPS provider and they just alerted me that there is a
limit on how many emails my server can send per hour.
They recommended I find a 3rd party service provider with support PHP
API connections.
My budget is limited. Does anyone have any suggestions of companies
that might work for my scenario?
Any feedback is appreciated ;-)
Don
