[PHP] arrays, loops, vars and props
Hey, would anyone know offhand, if its faster to create a temp array,
fill it via loop, and then set a class property to that array, or to
simply fill the class property via loop..
to clearify.
would the following example be faster or slower had i simply done
$this-myArray[$i] = $i;
class MyClass {
var $myArray = array();
function MyClass() {
$myTempArray = array();
for($i=0;$i100;$i++)
$myTempArray[$i] = $i;
$this-myArray = $myTempArray;
}
}
just curious...

[PHP] PHP, ODBC and Pervasive SQL
I am trying to connect from PHP to Pervasive SQL using ODBC, and I am experiencing difficulty. My PHP looks like this: $dsn = GruffTrading; // Datasource $dsu = ; // User $dsp = ; // Password if(!$odbc = odbc_connect($dsn,$dsu,$dsp)) die(Unable to connect to Data Source $dsnbr.odbc_error().: .odbc_errormsg()); I can connect to the database using the same DSN from MS Access, and I can connect to an Access database using the same PHP code, but obviously a different DSN. The error is S1000: [Pervasive Software][ODBC Interface][Pervasive Software SQL Engine]General error. I am using the Pervasive Software ODBC-32 driver, version 2.04.02.10, and am running on Windows 2000 Professional, latest patches and stuff all loaded, and PHP 4.3.0 I would appreciate any pointers in the right direction.

[PHP] nested UL tree from hierarchical db
Hi all,
I'm playing around with Modified Preorder Tree Traversal as discussed
in an article on sitepoint
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/hierarchical-data-database/, which
includes this function:
?php
function display_tree($root) {
// retrieve the left and right value of the $root node
$result = mysql_query('SELECT lft, rgt FROM tree '.
'WHERE title='.$root.';');
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
// start with an empty $right stack
$right = array();
// now, retrieve all descendants of the $root node
$result = mysql_query('SELECT title, lft, rgt FROM tree '.
'WHERE lft BETWEEN '.$row['lft'].' AND '.
$row['rgt'].' ORDER BY lft ASC;');
// display each row
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
// only check stack if there is one
if (count($right)0) {
// check if we should remove a node from the stack
while ($right[count($right)-1]$row['rgt']) {
array_pop($right);
}
}
// display indented node title
echo str_repeat(' ',count($right)).$row['title'].\n;
// add this node to the stack
$right[] = $row['rgt'];
}
}
?
This is outputting a text-based tree of the data in the database, but
what I'd like to do is modify it to output a series of nested ul's
(unordered lists) to describe the nesting, rather than relying on
spaces and newlines.
I've had a couple of attempts, with no luck... can someone shed some
light on how this might be achieved?

[PHP] How to make sure a redirect works

Imagine that we have an array of URL's $url=array(1=dest1.html, dest2.html, dest3.html); // I'm using the 1= so that I don't need to store 0 in a cookie! and that we have a variable $index which has a value in it (either set to a cookie value, if this is a refresh or return visit, or a random value [1-3] if this is the first visit My question is are there problems with: ?php header(Location: .$url[$index]); ? Might some browsers fail to redirect to the required destination? If so under what circumstances?

[PHP] Re: Are $_POST and $_GET interchangable?
Hi
You can use both $_GET and $_POST at the same time.
As an example imagine that you had a script that generated a HTML form for
collecting data. And image that that script generated different forms on the
basis of a parameter passed in the URL (i.e. a $_GET value).
Of the top of my head like this:
form metod=post
?php
switch($_GET['formid'])
{
case 1:
echo 'enter your name:input type=text name=name
value='.$_POST['name'].'/;
break;
case 2:
echo 'enter you telephone number:input type=text name=tel
value='.$_POST['tel'].'/;
break;
default:
echo oops, no form ID;
break;
}
?
input type=submit/
/form
you could imagine calling this as follow:
http://www.yoursite.com/form.php?formid=1
or
http://www.yoursite.com/form.php?formid=2

The problem is that the header requires that no output

It makes this clear in the error message when it indicates

Try this instead (although the code seems a little confused).

dbConnect($host, $user, $pass);
$password = $_POST['password'];
$username = $_POST['username'];

Here's an approach I have used to avoid any error messages at all --
presumably you could also set a flag in the error handler to indicate

reporting and set a do-nothing error handler.
.
$olderr = error_reporting(0);

Rob I have a related question, if you know ... what is the point at which passing objects by reference instead of by value provides a performance benefit? It sounds from the above like if you are not modifying the object in the called code then passing by value is always best because this is treated as a pass by reference unless and until there is a modification, so there is no performance cost. (I udnerstand that if modifying it then it must be passed by reference.) If that's right, then ... - does the same apply to arrays? - what happens if you pass an object by value and then call one of its methods which does not modify any data? Does the object get copied?

Nope. The value of an assignment expression is the value assigned, so that
will return whatever was assigned into $this-data.

This attribute may take two values: get: With the HTTP get method, the form data set is appended to the URI specified by the action attribute (with a question-mark (?) as separator) and this new URI is sent to the processing agent. post: With the HTTP post method, the form data set is included in the body of the form and sent to the processing agent. The get method should be used when the form is idempotent (i.e., causes no side-effects). Many database searches have no visible side-effects and make ideal applications for the get method. If the service associated with the processing of a form causes side effects (for example, if the form modifies a database or subscription to a service), the post method should be used. Note. The get method restricts form data set values to ASCII characters.

returning function will no longer be referencing it. This is not to be
confused with references as programmers work with them in scripts
themselves.
Rob I have a related question, if you know ... what is the point at
which passing objects by reference instead of by value provides a
performance benefit?
Passing by reference appears to provide a small amount of speed increase
though IMHO very small. Check the following three scripts:
?
$initial = array();
for( $i = 0; $i 10; $i++ )
{
$initial[$i] = $i;
}
for( $i = 0; $i 1000; $i++ )
{
$foo = $initial;
}

?
for( $i = 0; $i 10; $i++ )
{
$initial = $i;
}
for( $i = 0; $i 1000; $i++ )
{
$foo = $initial;
}
linux time command: 7.25user 0.00system 0:07.25elapsed 99%CPU
?
$initial = array();
for( $i = 0; $i 10; $i++ )
{
$initial[$i] = $i;
}
for( $i = 0; $i 1000; $i++ )
{
$foo = $initial;
}
linux time command: 6.85user 0.02system 0:06.87elapsed 99%CPU
As you can see copying by value regardless of the value is pretty much
the same (I think the time discrepency is due to a slightly longer time
to populate the $initial array than to assign an integer value 10
times to $initial (which makes sense O( lg n ) versus O( 1 )).
It seems passing by reference provides a small amount of advantage
(about 5% as shown above). Even though references may be faster I would
say now that it depends on what you want to do and who is maintaining
the code :) Also copies are definitely a good choice when you are
passing data that shouldn't affect some centralized storage variable
(such is usually the case for Singleton factories). Also don't forget
that the above example is assigning the data 10 million times, generally
the difference would be almost negligible.
It sounds from the above like if you are not modifying the object in
the called code then passing by value is always best because this is
treated as a pass by reference unless and until there is a
modification, so there is no performance cost. (I udnerstand that if
modifying it then it must be passed by reference.)
Passing references everywhere when a reference isn't needed can make
your code more difficult to read since others reading it will constantly
be asking, is this being passed as a reference for a reason? Does
changing the value outside of the function returning it or receiving it
have some transient effect?.
If that's right, then ...
- does the same apply to arrays?
Yes as shown above.
- what happens if you pass an object by value and then call one of
its methods which does not modify any data? Does the object get
copied?
I checked with the internals list for this answer since I thought it
would work the same, and indeed it turns out that objects in PHP 4 do
work this way. However this is not quite true with PHP 5 which uses the
concept of object-handles. Nonetheless, Derick Rethans informed had the
following to say:
in php 5 it is true for object-handles and not objects, but
that shouldn't be of any concern.
Cheers,
Rob.

[PHP] perl, cgi and php
Hello,
First let me say, I know very little about perl and cgi. I have a friend
who is moving his site to a new hosting company. One of his php pages has
the following line of code:
?php
virtual(./timeline/ganttChart.cgi?user={$gallery-session-username}); ?
but when the page is displayed all that shows up is the content of the .cgi
script. Is this a configuration issue?
Thanks,
Eddie

The new hosting company's web servers don't appear to have their servers
setup to parse *.cgi files through CGI. They will need to fix that, or
he will need to move ganttChart.cgi into a directory that is setup to
handle CGI files -- sometimes you'll have a cgi-bin directory for this
purpose.

[PHP] If Using PHP CLI to Query Oracle8I DB, is Version Number Critical?
We use PHP 4.3.4 (cli) to query a Microsoft SQL database server with no problem. We are now going to attempt the same sort of thing, only with a Pinnacle server running an Oracle8I data base. The php installation is on a FreeBSD UNIX platform and the Pinnacle server is on a Windows platform. Being very new to all this, my question is simply whether or not this should work? I am concerned that php comes with an Oracle7 client, but the data base I need to query and write back to is Oracle8I which might, someday, upgrade to a higher version. If I am using the PHP CLI to extract data from the server with, of course, correct syntax, does the Oracle version even matter? What we are going to do is extract information from work orders and then build scripts, using this information to control a telephone switch as well as create logs, etc. The php engine is simply going to let us pull and push data back and forth between this UNIX system and the Pinnacle server. If this can't work, then I am wasting my/our time. If it should work, then I'll set it up and make it work. We will most likely be running a php script which starts out like: #!/usr/local/bin/php -q ? //Set env variables putenv(SYBASE=/usr/local/etc/freetds); putenv(TDSVER=70); //Login to SQL $numero= mssql_connect(sqlserver , UID , password ); //Process each record $result=mssql_query(SELECT * FROM NatRegLog WHERE process='no',$numero ); //Logout of SQL mssql_close($numero); ? The script that will handle the Oracle DB will be similar to this example, only running the appropriate Oracle SQL commands. Many thanks. If this is in the archives, I could have missed it. The php web manual's Oracle section says, Introduction This extension adds support for Oracle database server access. See also the OCI8 extension.

[PHP] PHP on Novell server
Hi, I'm putting together a proposal to design a website that is to be hosted on a Novell Enterprise 5.1 webserver - I'm told its an off-shoot of the Netscape Enterprise server. I've spoken with the network admin, and we're playing some phone tag right now, so I thought I'd ask here - is it possible to install PHP on this server? Now part two which is most likely unrelated to this group, but maybe someone has come across this problem. As of now, there is no database installed - the client wants to be able to update the content of all their sites by themselves ... with no database, this presents a problem as I see it. I've only dabbled in Perl years ago until I found PHP to be much easier and faster for me to use. Is there a way that ppl know of where I could let the client update their own content using only Perl (no idea what version) and no database? I suppose there's some sick method of editing text files, but that seems a little bit more hokey than I'd like to get into.

RE: [PHP] Re: ASP to PHP language problems
Since I am assuming Type is a text field, you will want to enclose it
in single quotes. Also, because I am anal retentive, I like to also use
the addslashes() function on any input coming in on the GET string or
via a POST. Also, since all variables are preceded by a $ character,
your call to mysql_query will fail.
So, I would change your code to something like this:
$type = addslashes($_GET['type']);
$sql = SELECT * FROM tbCategory WHERE Type ='$type' order by style;
$resultID = mysql_query($sql, $db);

[PHP] Unique ID system - need help/ideas
I was given a database that has uniques IDs such as: AL1 AL2 AR1 AR2 MI1 etc...

RE: [PHP] How to mesure response time of php pages
You can also use something like Turck MMCache to accelerate the scripts. There is a class at http://pear.php.net for benchmarking PHP scripts and you can use a web client that times how long it takes to download a page. I would look at template caching and Turck MMCache to increase performance. jason -Original Message- From: Chris W.

This attribute may take two values: get: With the HTTP get method, the form data set is appended to the URI specified by the action attribute (with a question-mark (?) as separator) and this new URI is sent to the processing agent. post: With the HTTP post method, the form data set is included in the body of the form and sent to the processing agent. The get method should be used when the form is idempotent (i.e., causes no side-effects). Many database searches have no visible side-effects and make ideal applications for the get method. If the service associated with the processing of a form causes side effects (for example, if the form modifies a database or subscription to a service), the post method should be used. Note. The get method restricts form data set values to ASCII characters. Only the post method (with enctype=multipart/form-data) is specified to cover the entire [ISO10646] character set. I'm begining to see. The definitions of $_POST and $_GET are word for word identical as predefined variables: http://ca.php.net/reserved.variables However they are designed to be paired with post and get form methods, the $_GET to be used with a href query string (after the '?' in a url) as mentioned in the page you supplied above (reposted below): http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.1 So apparently, one of the morals to the story is that the $_GET method is more prone to security breach?

Try and put single quotes around the $type in your query. Especially
if it's not numeric:
$sql = SELECT blah WHERE type='$type';
Otherwise, the code is fine. So assuming the database exists and the
query is valid (i.e. works from MySQL itself) then it should work.
