RE: [PHP] Re: PHP XML

Cheers Simon -Original Message- From: Alexandru COSTIN [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 October 2002 18:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: PHP XML Hello, Most of what you are looking for is already implemented and fully working in our Krysalis Professional platform. We help you create dynamic XML files, we provide you reusable taglibs to avoid rewriting similar code multiple times, wr provide various levels of caching and many more. Please se more details at : http://www.interakt.ro/products/ Alexandru Let me preface this by saying that I know the benefits of using XML with regards to portability and extensibility. Here is the issue I face. I have all of my data stored in a MySQL database. I'm considering reworking my website so that it uses XML (after being converted from resultant records in my DB) to transmit XSLT to transform and display the data to my end user. There are a few benifits I can see in sending XML messages as part of the back end processing. However, that seems to be out- weighed by the amount of processing that's going to need to take place in actually serving the data to the user. First I have to query and pull the records from the database. Then, I need to send those records to a function (or functions) to convert it to XML. Then, I need to take that XML data and have PHP use an XSL stylesheet to transform it to HTML before it, finally, gets sent on to the browser. So that's basically 2 conversions that take place on the back end. How much experience have any of you had with doing that? Does it take significantly longer to serve the pages; is there a noticible performance hit? Do you realize more benifit for the back end processes when using XML that makes any additional time it takes to display a page to the user worth it? I'd love to hear about people's experience with this kind of thing so I can better make a decision wrt whether or not I should even go down this route. thnx, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It's primarly slow because of the time it takes to upload the files - the larger the files and the slower the link, the longer it will take. There isn't a whole lot that you can do about this with java or any other tricks.

Hi All,
still trying to update old code. Am I using $_SESSION properly?
snip
if (mysql_num_rows($res) ==1){
/* If correct start session*/
session_start();
$_SESSION['SESSION_UNAME'];
$SESSION_UNAME = $user;
header(Location: welcome.php);
mysql_free_result ($res);
/snip
Nope. Just use $_SESSION['SESSION_UNAME'] = $user;
You can treat $_SESSION just as you would any other array.
$_SESSION['something'] = whatever;
etc... Then, on any page with session_start(), you have the whole
session array available to you, no matter what page the variable was
initially created on.
FYI: use unset($_SESSION['SESSION_UNAME']); to erase a session variable.

[PHP] Re: Script optimisation
depending on the requirements of your script, it is quicker to use ? echo $var; ? as required, this is because php essentially ignores all the html tags untill a ? ... ? is found for which php does it's stuff... if you use ? ... code ... large echo ...; statements here and there... ? PHP has to go thru the contents of ... and repace any variables it finds... however if you are echo'ing without variables always use '...' and not ... as the single quotes state that it's just text and so it does'nt need to parse this just output it. You can do 'some text'.$aVariable.' more text'; which will be quicker that some text $aVariable more text; to process... As I said at the start, it very much depends on what is required for a particular script... Also, it is better to choose a style and stick to it!

Re: [PHP] Script optimisation
This an issue that many people in the PHP community face each day. I would suggest these first very basic ones: If you have strings that are echo/parsed that you use double quotes but when the string contains no variable replacement use singles. If you are writing files of considerable size look at the memory limit setting in php.ini and up it for each script.

I use this to sniff Netscape 4:

We help you create dynamic XML files, we provide you reusable taglibs to avoid rewriting similar code multiple times, wr provide various levels of caching and many more. Please se more details at : http://www.interakt.ro/products/ Alexandru Let me preface this by saying that I know the benefits of using XML with regards to portability and extensibility. Here is the issue I face. I have all of my data stored in a MySQL database. I'm considering reworking my website so that it uses XML (after being converted from resultant records in my DB) to transmit XSLT to transform and display the data to my end user. There are a few benifits I can see in sending XML messages as part of the back end processing. However, that seems to be out- weighed by the amount of processing that's going to need to take place in actually serving the data to the user. First I have to query and pull the records from the database. Then, I need to send those records to a function (or functions) to convert it to XML. Then, I need to take that XML data and have PHP use an XSL stylesheet to transform it to HTML before it, finally, gets sent on to the browser. So that's basically 2 conversions that take place on the back end. How much experience have any of you had with doing that? Does it take significantly longer to serve the pages; is there a noticible performance hit? Do you realize more benifit for the back end processes when using XML that makes any additional time it takes to display a page to the user worth it?

Ultimately it's about flexibility and seperating content from presentation.Even if you don't have sites that need to be output into multiple formats you will almost cetainly need to redesign some or all of the presentation at some point even if it is only in html. Have you ever had your boss/client say I want to give the Website a new look. If you have content mixed in with presentation you will need to do a lot of work to mix your content into a new presentation layer. It's also about writing code that is easy to maintain.

Furthermore, I'm having difficulty inserting rows in a static myisam table (because i'm a beginner i suppose). The system crashes when I try to do this.

Re: [PHP] PHP XML
Do you realize more benifit for the back end processes when using XML that makes any additional time it takes to display a page to the user worth it? Just ask the user if they really want to wait longer for something they can't even see, just so you can use the latest buzzword in describing your site. I'm sure they'll say NO! Hell, I would answer No, too. But I'm not considering XML just because it's the latest buzzword. I've been part of the industry too long to be lulled by such things. The reason I'm considering XML is to allow things like themes and also to standardize and optimize messages that would be sent to various services that I could create and set up with a redesign. It would also allow me to create external companion software that could communicate with the website and allow some of the daily work of the end user to take place offline.

Or each time the page gets reloaded? Uh... same thing, surely? Cheers Jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] seeding using mt_srand();
Hi Phil, I'm doing everything correct, although my random numbers don't seem totally random. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, you might not be seeding mt_srand() with a sensible seed - if you always use 23 as your seed, you'll always get the same sequence of random numbers. You're better off seeding it with the current time or something - if you haven't already, have a look at the manual page at http://php.net/mt_srand, there's an example there. Secondly, random numbers generated by a computer aren't random, they're what's known as pseudo-random. To generate truly random numbers you need something like a decaying radioactive material as your seed source - http://www.fourmilab.ch/hotbits/ provides exactly this, so you could always get your seeds via the web :-) Cheers Jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP XML
Using XML can also make sense for smaller projects where a 'real' DB just isn´t available on the server. I am developing a CMS for our student magazine. Over the last 16 months or so, we used CGI /Perl for processing and stored the data in plain text files.In these article files, I would use pseudo-tags like, __PICTURE_1__, then get some data for this picture (URL, width height, ALT-Text, longer description, source copyright) from a *seperate* text file, then create an HTML table that contains the picture a description and insert it into the article. This was way better than using static HTML, which we had used in the beginning (wanne here a definition for *pain*? ;-). But it still didn´t really seperate layout and content since basic HTML tags like H1, BR, B, I etc. were used in the text files. This worked fine as long as we were glad that minor changes in the footer of the page didn´t involve 48 hours of non-stop work, but it became unfeasible when our ambitions grew and extended to having a (differently formatted) print version of each article The bottom line is: With XML, we now have a clear-cut DTD and thorough seperation of code, content, and layout -- exactly what one would want to achieve with a DB. The performance is ok, I´d say better than with the old Perl script :) and will improve even further when we implement caching of the HTML output (yes, I know, that´s not an option for everyone). For us, XML is kinda a third way aside from SQL and plain text files. Besides, we still have the option to set up a DB and create the XML files automatically cache the output if we ever grow big and important enough to afford web hosting with a real DB :) Unless you´re data are updated too frequently (and are needed to be up-to-date immediately) to be cached, take a look at XML. Besides, once you CAN exchange your stuff with others, you might come across new ideas to improve your whole site!

only 5.

It is probably either $_COOKIE[PHPSESSID] or $_GET[PHPSESSID].

Re: [PHP] $_FILES posting limited to 5?
I hadn't thought about that, but it does sound like a possibility. Although a browser isn't limited to 5 connections at a time. It is usually set by the user and in my experience defaults to 4 and can be set as high as 8. Most users (or even programmers) don't know about this simple setting. It helps when you have a fast pipe (set to 8) or slow pipe (set to 4). So perhaps it does have a hand in setting an upload limit.

Ühel ilusal päeval [16-10-2002 16:50] kirjutas Jason Young: Just wanted to let everyone know: PHP version is 4.2.1 Apache is 1.3.24 Running WindowsXP Pro Running Windows? Hm. I remember something similar, when I was sysadmin and I used Windows NT 4.0 Workstation as a file server. The workstation release of Windows NT had the limitation of only 5 simultaneous network connections. To allow more connections we had to upgrade to Windows NT Server version. I haven't used Windows quite a long time and perhaps this is irrelevant, but i wouldn't be surprised, if this is another trick Bill uses to loot your wallet.

Re: [PHP] Date formatting from a mySQL timestamp
I have the following query :
for($i = 0; $i =$num_results; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_object($result);
echo table width =\100%\ border =\0\ cellpadding = \3\\n
.tr\n
You can save some typing if you just set the bgcolor in the tr, instead of
each td, FYI. Also, align defaults to left, doesn't it? So you can
probably leave that out, also.
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-id/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Nombre/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Apellido/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align =
\left\$row-Direccion/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Ciudad/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Telefono/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Mail/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Pais/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\.date(r,
$row-date).td\n
// My problem is it's getting the wrong date no matter what I do, every
line
displays Jan 2038 !!!
I think you're confused here. MySQL uses a different style timestamp than a
Unix timestamp. Unix timestamps are the number of seconds since Jan 01,
1970. MySQL timestamps are in a MMDDHHMMSS format. If you've used a
TIMESTAMP, DATE, or DATETIME column in MySQL, then you have a MySQL
timestamp. The MySQL timestamp is not compatible with the PHP date()
function, it is expecting a Unix timestamp.
So...the solution is one of two things. You can use an INT column and store
the unix timestamp into it. You can create the unix timstamp in PHP with
time(), mktime(), or strtotime() (among others), and format it with the
date() function. Or, you can continue to use a MySQL type timestamp and use
the MySQL function DATE_FORMAT() to format the dates _in your query_.
DATE_FORMAT() is the MySQL equivilent of PHP's date() function. Or, as a
third option, you can use the MySQL UNIX_TIMESTAMP() function to create a
Unix timestamp from the MySQL timestamp and return that to PHP. You can then
use that in your date() function.
Confusing, eh? If you have any questions, I can explain it further.

Re: [PHP] $_FILES posting limited to 5?
BEAUTIFUL!
This was the problem... it wasn't that there was a limit of 5 maximum
uploads, it was just that my 'while' statement was only counting as many
fields as the first sub-array for $_FILES.. which is 5.
Tom, thanks a bunch!

Re: [PHP] Option value
Is it possible to extract the value option which item name selected..for example i am having list of soap brand in the options..is it possible that to tell that the user seleced this brand of soap while in the submittion of the form..can any one please tell me how to do this.. Umm...that's what PHP does, isn't it? form method=GET select name=soap option value=DoveDove/option option value=ZestZest/option /select input type=submit /form When that form is submitted, you'll have a variable $_GET['soap'] that'll be equal to either Zest or Dove, depending on what the user chose.

RE: [PHP] Re: PHP XML
I am all for the power of XML, another benefit is the ability to have many themes for your viewer. Plus, if you are writing a CMS or portal of some sort you can have your users create their own themes without ever touching the data layers. They just need to create some XSLT pages and that is it. Another benefit is RSS and allowing users to pull information from your website. Heaven knows that u want your users to frequent ur website. So you can allow them to pull info directly. Also a great way to incorporate a cacheing system as well.

We help you create dynamic XML files, we provide you reusable taglibs to avoid rewriting similar code multiple times, wr provide various levels of caching and many more. Please se more details at : http://www.interakt.ro/products/ Alexandru Let me preface this by saying that I know the benefits of using XML with regards to portability and extensibility. Here is the issue I face. I have all of my data stored in a MySQL database. I'm considering reworking my website so that it uses XML (after being converted from resultant records in my DB) to transmit XSLT to transform and display the data to my end user. There are a few benifits I can see in sending XML messages as part of the back end processing. However, that seems to be out- weighed by the amount of processing that's going to need to take place in actually serving the data to the user. First I have to query and pull the records from the database. Then, I need to send those records to a function (or functions) to convert it to XML. Then, I need to take that XML data and have PHP use an XSL stylesheet to transform it to HTML before it, finally, gets sent on to the browser. So that's basically 2 conversions that take place on the back end. How much experience have any of you had with doing that? Does it take significantly longer to serve the pages; is there a noticible performance hit? Do you realize more benifit for the back end processes when using XML that makes any additional time it takes to display a page to the user worth it? I'd love to hear about people's experience with this kind of thing so I can better make a decision wrt whether or not I should even go down this route. thnx, Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- .: B i g D o g :. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Modulo eleven function?
Is anyone of you aware of a modulo eleven function that is used to calculate the checksum of a creditcard number? I have a pretty crude code listing from a book, but what I look for is a function that can append the checksum digit to a number. I have the spec for the algorithm behind the checksum already, so I can surely write the function myself, I was just wondering if it was already out there. And to any Norwegian readers (or whoever makes sense of this), is it right that the modulo eleven is also used to generate the checksum of KID numbers in payments?
