 Hello,
 
 How can I allow users of my website to upload JPEG's to a set directory,
 and then have the JPEG scaled-down if they upload some huge image (both
 in pixel size and resolution)?
 
 Is there anything around that clearly (and simply) explains this?

php.net/imagecopyresized

There's an example right there on the manual page.

 Have you tried re-setting the array to an empty one, using array(),
 instead of using unset()?
indeed!, unset($arr); $arr = array();
or $arr = array(); directly
it's same :(

 Just some ideas from a naive reader:
 
 1. unset() more often
i'm tracking ip of visiters to avoid double trigger of the counter.
if i shorten time to 5mins, therere so many ppl revisit after 5mins,
which give counter more points
 2. unset() only a portion of the elements of the array
i guess so, but ..
 
 You may even want to store a TIME element, and only unset() the old
 items or something.
i did, but it double the size, and scan of expired elements is slower
 
 You may also want to, perhaps, put the unset() of older data inside your
 socket listening/reading loop, so that you are unset-ing the really old
 stuff as you read the new stuff, to always keep your array small in
 size.

here's the logic After the slow TIME element scanning scheme:
data flow:

for  {
$key = ...
$track = $currentTracker[$countername][$key][$id];
if isset($currentTracker[$countername][$key][$id]):
 $tarck ++;
 continue; // skip trigger
elif isset($oldTracker[$countername][$key][$id]):
 $track = $oldTracker[$countername][$key][$id] + 1;
 continue; // skip trigger
$counts[$key] ++; // trigger, will save later
} // end for
unset($track);
expiring:
foreach 1hour:
1. unset($oldTracker); // slow
2. $oldTracker = $currentTracker; // fast, this is COW(no copy)
3. $currentTracker = array(); // fast (no efree)
if u think 2/3 is slow, i can do:
2. $oldTracker = $currentTracker; // fast, php-reference
3. unset($currentTracker); // php-unreference
3. $currentTracker = array(); // fast
if i have to unset portion of the $oldTracker. i have to scan? or any other way?

The least necessary. That depends on your server setup, primarily the 
user id your scripts are run under (mod_php/cgi or suexec). You might 
want to use ftp functions to create the directories if they would be 
created with apache as the owner otherwise.

 The *do* POST, but PHP only handles one level of array references in NAME=xxx
 
 You can do something like:

$keys = explode('][', $keys);
list($key1, $key2) = $keys;
$realKeyField[$key1][$key2] = $value;

Almost follow this but not quite.  Is this the code used to create the
hidden HTML input tag or the one to unpack the variable after the
post.  What is really spooky is the keys are actually held in a
variable in an object called keys - your telepathic abilities are very
impressive;).  My first thought was when you said PHP only handles one
level in post was to serialize the array, put the serialized version
in as a single hidden HTML tag and unserialize at the other end.  do
you reckon this is a goer?

class MyClass implements MyInterface {

This sample will crash with message 
Fatal error: Access type for interface method MyInterface::myMethod() must be

Why I'm not able to clarify call's type (static) for methods in interface? I'm 
predict closely that method myMethod() in all classes which implements  
MyInterface must be called statically. A little trick allowed to me to resolve

Why not use PHP to create static pages from your dynamic info (say 5 minutes 
after the data is update?) and allow for the system to search the site then?  I 
have noticed that I don't even have to do that for the search spiders from 
Google and yahoo to trawl my site and get everything, so maybe looking for code 
to curl through would be good?

 The only not yet posted other options are client = client (which is
 essentially impossible with PHP, unless you use the server=server
 setup) and client = server (which is called uploading)

right. i assumed he wanted to do something like get a file from
another server and then send/display it to the client (news picker for
a feed or comic strip ripper).

if the file is on the same server, then a simple download would do ;-)
or if the script's gonna generate data dynamically, then it would have
to send the Content-Disposition, Pragma, etc. headers.

@akshay: the headers to be sent differ for normal browsers and IE.

[PHP] Use a query twice

2005-01-20 Thread Shaun

Hi,

I have the following query:

$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM Users);
while( $r = db_fetch_array( $result ) ){
 echo $r['Name'];
}

Is it possible to use the same result set to loop through the values form 
the begining or do I have to create the $result varible again?

Thanks for your help

[PHP] Search indexing.. Re: [PHP] Search engine

Just out of curiosity.. relating to this subject.. does anyone have any good 
documentation on creating your own site index so you can create your own search 
engine?

That is..  do search engines like Google take every word in a web page and if 
you search for that specific word it has a list of all URLs whose pages contain 
that word?   I mean, what is the general theory behind creating a searchable 
index as opposed to just storing all your web pages in a database and using SQL 
to find the pages?   If you indexed the pages you could then do a sort by 
relevance (which you really can't do with just doing a 'LIKE' SQL query on your 
raw content).

I know this isn't strictly PHP related, but if someone hasn't done a basic 
indexing search engine in PHP, then it's time someone did I think. :)

-TG

= = = Original message = = =

Why not use PHP to create static pages from your dynamic info (say 5 minutes 
after the data is update?) and allow for the system to search the site then?  I 
have noticed that I don't even have to do that for the search spiders from 
Google and yahoo to trawl my site and get everything, so maybe looking for code 
to curl through would be good?

Rosen is quoted as saying on 1/20/2005 7:48 AM:
 But here the problem is, that the texts in database uses from different
 scripts and on the search engine I should show and link to the sctipt, thath
 shows searched data.
 My idea was for search script, who explore the whole site (as generated from
 PHP scripts - via links ).

Looks like you will have to write your own.  Have a look at the
scripts you have and see how they do it.  One option is to write the
'static' pages into the database as well as the file system.  I
personaly put all content into a database and do not really have any
static pages atall.

This kind of depends on what database you are using (I am asuming you
mean you have a data driven site you want to search so strictly
speaking it is the database that you want to search).

Mysl has free text search facilities (i.e. you can pass it a number of
words and it can search for them in a set of database fields and even
kreates a 'ranking').  however this only works if you have a few
hundread records - less than this and the results are unpredictable.

Have you tries googeling for php search scripts?

thanks, valter.

What is the problem?  If you have session support set in PHP then each
user should be able to session_start etc.  The default session handler
that comes with PHP will allow each user to have their own session
variables (technically they're indices in the $_SESSION superglobal
array).
Please check the PHP manual to see how to set up session support if
that's what you're confused about.
The problem is with cookies being common for all user directories.

You'll have to be more specific than this.
Are you worried about:
1) Cookie filename collision, so two users criss-cross cookies?
No
2) Cookie security, so user1 can read user2's cookie files
Something like above, but cookies are not files as I'm sure you know ;) 
(though they are stored somewhere, this is just implementation).

3) Malicous user2 filling up everybody's /tmp dir with zillion cookie files
#1 is a non-problem, almost for sure.  I don't think the OS+PHP will
*ever* let your cookie files share a common name
#2 separating them into different directories is not a whole lot of
help...  If I know his cookie files are in ~/user2 and follow the same
naming conventions as the ones in my ~/user1 directory, I can still read
them.
I'm talking about COOKIE PATH - Path parameter of Set-Cookie header. 
What should user1 do in order to separate his cookies and sessions from 
other users is to give them different cookie path:

session_set_cookie_params(0, '/~user1/');
session_start();
But malicious evil can do:
session_set_cookie_params(2147483647, '/~victim/');
session_start();
Then write a script that will periodicaly check 
http://server/~victim/?SESSIONID=' . $stored_session_id if it displays 
Hello Richard (or any other sign off being logged in, eg log off link) 
and the session is highjacked.

#3 also separting the cookies is no help -- A full drive is a full drive. 
Unless you are doing a low-level partition separate for each user.

No

Each user should use session_set_cookie_params() to set the cookie path
to its own directory. And use of session_regenerate_id() is a must, else
user1 can set the cookie path to /~user2/ with lifetime till 2038 and...

And what?
Until we know what it is you think you're trying to solve we can't
advise you.
unique session for each user directory (/~user) and SECURITY. I think 
this was the concern of the OP.

So far, all we've got is a stated desire to segregate cookie files for no
apparent reason.
I'm sure it's perfectly clear to you why you want this, but nobody else is
getting it.
I hope everyone gets me now.

Think of declaration of properties and methods as a contract.  When 
something is public it is available to all of PHP.  When it is private 
it is only usable by the class that you define it in.  When it is 
protected it is a hybrid; it is usable to the class that defined it and 
it can be inherited by classes that extend that class.

So, decide what level of access you really *need* for that property / 
method.  If a property is only supposed to be modified by class methods 
(for example, a password string) then make it private or possibly 
protected.  If everything is public access then there is temptation to 
do something like:

?php
class myObject {
  public $pubprop = 'I am the starting value.  Trust me, even though I 
am public access';
}

function all_hell_breaks_loose($obj) {
  $obj-pubprop = 'ANARCHY LIVES!  PHEAR DA WRAFF OF DA PUBIC PROPS!';
}
$obj = new myObject();
/** ... 1000's of lines of code ... */
all_hell_breaks_loose($obj);

Re: [PHP] quoting values in HTML - is there a diference between ' and

I believe HTML uses ' and  interchangeably.  No real difference.  Well, it 
also depends on the HTML rendering engine too I guess.  IE might do it ok but 
Firefox might not.. things like that.  But I think as far as the spec goes, you 
can use both.In a lot of cases, as long as there are no spaces involved, 
you can go without the quotes too but that's just really poor coding practice I 
think.

I believe they allow single and double quotes to help accomodate client side 
scripting languages like JavaScript where you might have to echo text but still 
be able to break out to perform a function or concatenate a variable or 
something.  If a scripting language only let you use double quotes, then you 
have the option of using single quotes in the HTML you're echoing.  Or vice 
versa.

Firefox's Web Developer extension (which I highly recommend for web developers) 
will tell you if it's using W3 standard (strict), loose or...umm.. something 
else..  for it's rendering of the web page.  That is, if the HTML it's 
interpreting meets strict specs, loose specs, or is just sloppy as crap but 
it's going to do what it can anyway...   basically which facet of it's

tpgc Well, it also depends on the HTML rendering engine too I guess.
tpgc IE might do it ok but Firefox might not.. things like that. But
tpgc I think as far as the spec goes, you can use both.

In HTML 4.1 at least the atrribute values can be delimited using
either single or double quotation marks. I doubt there are many
rendering engines that would be specific to one type, othewise
something like this wouldn't be possible:

img src=blah.gif alt=Look, it's an image /

You can use numeric character references instead of quotes if you
like.

tpgc In a lot of cases, as long as there are no spaces involved, you
tpgc can go without the quotes too but that's just really poor coding
tpgc practice I think.

From the spec:

In certain cases, authors may specify the value of an attribute
without any quotation marks. The attribute value may only contain
letters (a-z and A-Z), digits (0-9), hyphens (ASCII decimal 45),
periods (ASCII decimal 46), underscores (ASCII decimal 95), and colons
(ASCII decimal 58). We recommend using quotation marks even when it is
possible to eliminate them.

Bear in mind this is the HTML 4.1 spec - the XHTML spec is vastly
different and non-quoted attributes will fail validation big time.

it's not the static part, it's the public part. You can't make

 method.  If a property is only supposed to be modified by class methods
 (for example, a password string) then make it private or possibly
 protected.  If everything is public access then there is temptation to
 do something like:
 
 ?php
 
 class myObject {
   public $pubprop = 'I am the starting value.  Trust me, even though I
 am public access';
 }
 
 function all_hell_breaks_loose($obj) {
   $obj-pubprop = 'ANARCHY LIVES!  PHEAR DA WRAFF OF DA PUBIC PROPS!';
 }
 
 $obj = new myObject();
 
 /** ... 1000's of lines of code ... */
 
 all_hell_breaks_loose($obj);
 print_r($obj);
 
 ?

[PHP] filling a pdf form.

2005-01-20 Thread marc serra

Hello,
I got a problem with PDF. I got a PDF form that i want to put on a 
server to allow users to fill it. After this, i want to collect 
information entered by users and recreate a PDF file with all of them. 
It's important that's the original PDF file and the filled one had the 
same shape.

Can someone explain me how to do this ? I think the better way is to 
convert the pdf form into HTML but i don't find a software that do that 
automaticaly. Another solution could be to create the same form in HTML 
but the PDF file is 10 pages long :(

I got another problem. When i will find a way to collect information of 
my form, will it be possible to fill the original PDF file with the 
collected information without created it again ?

I think it could be possible to do this using XML, XSL AND FDF in which 
order using them...

Thanks for your help,
Marc.

Re: [PHP] Re: SPL Exceptions

[UPDATE 1-20-2005]
Im making a minor additional note, just in case it comes up again.
 From the lack of responses I got on this, I thought I may have missed
the point from your responses.
But I've found some information that may or may not be correct.
Speculation -
The SPL exceptions that I originally was asking about, may be in php
5.1.0.  By chance I came across a phpinfo dump of 5.1.0-dev and it
reports to have the exception classes.
http://dev.e-taller.net/reflector/reflector.php?mod=inf
and according to CVS, http://cvs.php.net/php-src/ext/spl/spl_exceptions.h
it looks like they were recently added last November, so Im guessing its
still pretty new to be in php 5.0.x.
Thanks for listening
Thanks for the update.  I wouldn't count on this feature making it in 
for 5.1.0 for 100% certain, but yeah if it's in the dev tree then it is 
likely on the way.

[PHP] Seemingly weird regex problem

Hello!  I'm having an odd regex problem.  Here's a summary of what I'm
trying to accomplish:

I've got a report file generated from our business management system
(Progress 4GL), one fixed-width record per line.  I've got a php script
that reads in the raw file one line at a time, and strips out any
unwanted lines (repeated column headings, mostly).  

I'm stripping out unwanted lines by looking at the beginning of each
line and doing the following:
1. If the line begins with a non-word character (\W+), discard it;
2. If the line begins with the word Vendor, discard it;
3. If the line begins with Loc, discard it;
4. If the line begins with a dash, discard it;
5. Else keep the line and write it to an output file.

The way I've implemented this in code is via the code snippet below. 
The problem I'm encountering, however, is that any line that begins with
a word, such as AKRN, is matching rule #1, thus discarding the line. 
This is not what I want, but I'm having difficulty spotting my mistake. 

To try to help spot the issue, I put in the if(preg_match(/^\W+/,
$line)) logic, and the weird thing is that this logic isn't outputting
the line beginning with things like AKRN, yet the same line is getting
caught in the switch statement and being discarded.

Any suggestions?

 while (!feof($input_handle))
 {
$line = fgets($input_handle);
 
if (preg_match(/^\W+/, $line))
{
  echo $line\n;
}
 
switch ($line)
{
case ($total_counter = 5):
fwrite($output_handle, $line);
$counter++;
$total_counter++;
break;
   // Rule #1: non-word character
   case preg_match(/^\W+/, $line):
  array_push($tossed_lines, $line);
  echo Rule #1 violation\n;
  $tossed_counter++;
  $total_counter++;
  break;
// Rule #2: Vendor at beginning of line
case preg_match(/^Vendor/i, $line):
  array_push($tossed_lines, $line);
  echo Rule #2 violation\n;
  $tossed_counter++;
  $total_counter++;
  break;
   // Rule #3: Loc at beginning of line
case preg_match(/^Loc/i, $line):
  array_push($tossed_lines, $line);
  echo Rule #3 violation\n;
  $tossed_counter++;
  $total_counter++;
  break;
   // Rule #4: dash character at beginning of line
case preg_match(/^\-/, $line):
   array_push($tossed_lines, $line);
   echo Rule #4 violation\n;
   $tossed_counter++;
   $total_counter++;
   break;
default:
   fwrite($output_handle, $line);
   $counter++;
   $total_counter++;
   break;
   }
 }

[PHP] URGENT: Break-lines disappearing.

2005-01-20 Thread Bruno B B Magalhães

Hi you all,
I am having a very big problem... I have an article module in a system, 
when an user creates an article it's parsed (as everything else in the 
system) by an input class, after, it is checked for emptily and after 
is build an insert query... But the break-lines just disappear... I've 
tested right before parsing to the database build query function and 
the breaks are there! And the build query function is this:

	function insert_query($table='',$values='')
	{
		if($table != ''  $values != '')
		{
			foreach($values as $var=$val)
			{
$insert_vars[] = $var;
$insert_vals[] = $val;
			}
			return $this-query('INSERT INTO '.$table.' 
('.implode(',',$insert_vars).') VALUES 
(\''.implode('\',\'',$insert_vals).'\') ');
		}
		else
		{
			return false;
		}
	}

And the sanitize function is:
function sanitize($input_data, $sanitize = true)
{
if(is_array($input_data))
{
foreach($input_data as $input_key=$input_value)
{
$output_data[$input_key] = 
$this-sanitize($input_value,$sanitize);
}
return $output_data;
}
elseif($sanitize)
{
return addslashes($input_data);
}
else
{
return $input_data;
}
}
Where are the break-lines?!?!? I am really desperate! Please! I am 
using MySQL and PHP4.

Bruno B B Magalhaes

yeah,  the discussion for switch illustrates the use of functions in
case statements.  I have never done it and I wonder if there is a
difference in what preg_replace returns vs what is true but if that
was an issue, why doesn't the if catch it.  wish I had time to play.

 I think it could be possible to do this using XML, XSL AND FDF in which

I dunno where you'd want to shove in the XML and XSL parts, but since
everybody seems to use XML and XSL for everything these days, no matter
how unsuitable it might be, I suppose it shouldn't be too difficult to
find some way to do it. :-)

[PHP] downloading file and displaying HTML

Hi,

If a user clicks the link for a file on the download page, I would like to send

How can I do that - if it is possible at all.

Re: [PHP] How to load PDF file page by page

Deepak Dhake wrote:
 Can anyone tell me how to read large PDF file and outputs it but the PDF
 file should load page by page before it completely downloads.

I think that's more of an Adobe question than PHP, really...

I vaguely recall that you could make this happen (only?) if you were using
not just a plain PDF, but a PDF with PDI (FDI???) where, essentially, your
PDF file references *other* PDF files, and those get sucked down
separately.

Note that this is the big-time feature where you have to PAY MONEY for
libPDF and similar products, as I recall.  IE, without this feature, it
was free/cheap, but if you wanted this, you'd pay (more).

Since I never needed this feature, I only skimmed through it all, and
could be completely wrong.

Also note that, almost for sure, when you send out the main PDF, and
then that PDF sucks down all the other PDFs, you are really chewing up a
*LOT* of HTTP connections opening and closing.  Seems kind of expensive to
me for the sake of showing the user one page/part of a giant PDF in
advance...

At that point, it seems to me you'd better serve the end user by having
separate PDF files, if at all possible, and let them download the parts
they want, or just warn them it will be awhile to download... YMMV  NAIAA 
IANAL

It's REAL easy to bloat PDF files very fast, and having monster PDF files
seems like a Bad Idea (tm) to me, in general.  I'm sure there are specific
cases where it's the Right Answer and your needs may well be one of them
-- I just want to make sure you understand the ramifications before you go
down the garden path.

Well the biggest problem in your code right now is your incomprehensible (to 
me anyway) use of the switch construct. For a start I've no idea why you're 
using ...

 switch ($line)

... when your tests do not involve $line

 case ($total_counter = 5):

I suspect what you want to be doing is something like this:

  switch (TRUE) {

Yes, but comparing those expressions to:

  switch ($line)

where $line is a string, doesn't make sense. See my other post.

Re: [PHP] Re: multiple sessions on same server/domain

 2) Cookie security, so user1 can read user2's cookie files

 Something like above, but cookies are not files as I'm sure you know ;)
 (though they are stored somewhere, this is just implementation).

They are stored in files, by default, though you can put them in a
database, or whatever you want.

 3) Malicous user2 filling up everybody's /tmp dir with zillion cookie
 files

 #1 is a non-problem, almost for sure.  I don't think the OS+PHP will
 *ever* let your cookie files share a common name

 #2 separating them into different directories is not a whole lot of
 help...  If I know his cookie files are in ~/user2 and follow the same
 naming conventions as the ones in my ~/user1 directory, I can still read
 them.

 I'm talking about COOKIE PATH - Path parameter of Set-Cookie header.
 What should user1 do in order to separate his cookies and sessions from
 other users is to give them different cookie path:

 session_set_cookie_params(0, '/~user1/');
 session_start();

 But malicious evil can do:

 session_set_cookie_params(2147483647, '/~victim/');
 session_start();

 Then write a script that will periodicaly check
 http://server/~victim/?SESSIONID=' . $stored_session_id if it displays
 Hello Richard (or any other sign off being logged in, eg log off link)
 and the session is highjacked.

They don't have to muck around with session_set_cookie_params() to do that.

They can just read the Cookie files, or database, or whatever.

You have a chicken and egg problem here:  Either PHP can read the cookies
from wherever, and so can the malicious scripter, or PHP can't read the
cookies, and, well, you don't have cookies.

Each user should use session_set_cookie_params() to set the cookie path
to its own directory. And use of session_regenerate_id() is a must, else
user1 can set the cookie path to /~user2/ with lifetime till 2038 and...


 And what?

 Until we know what it is you think you're trying to solve we can't
 advise you.

 unique session for each user directory (/~user) and SECURITY. I think
 this was the concern of the OP.

SECURITY is not an on/off switch.

There is no feasible way (in general) for script X from user X in PHP to
not be able to read anything script Y from user Y can do in PHP on a
shared server.

If you *NEED* that level of SECURITY, don't use a shared server.  Period.

If you want to make it slightly more difficult, or at least less obvious,
you could put user X cookies in their database, and user Y cookies in a
different database.

Of course, now you have the issue that if user Y *wants* to badly enough,
they can read use PHP to read the file that has the password that user X
uses to connect to their database, and then they can get to the data.

 So far, all we've got is a stated desire to segregate cookie files for
 no
 apparent reason.

 I'm sure it's perfectly clear to you why you want this, but nobody else
 is
 getting it.

 I hope everyone gets me now.

Somewhat.

The problem is that you've focused in on Cookies in a shared-server
environment, when, in fact, the security levels implied in that
shared-server environment have much more far-flung effects and
implications that render your Cookie fixation rather meaningless.

Basically, if you *NEED* that level of separation of Cookie files, then
they shouldn't be on a shared server, because of everything *else* they
are already sharing.

Hope that makes sense.

Some other options, however, do include:

Give EACH user their own HTTPD pool of servers, running as some user such
as 'victor-www' with a different user for each.

Then all their files can be 600 or 700 and their Cookies as well.

This doesn't scale up well for lots of users on a single server, which is
a business requirement for most shared servers.  But it may be the Right
Solution for what you need.

Hide their Cookie files in intermediate directories whose names are
difficult to guess and which are NOT eXecutable (list-able) by other
users.

The Malicious user could still, eventually, manage to find the file
somehow, perhaps by using PHP to read PHP source code and settings rather
than reading the file structure itself.

Synopsis:
You are, most likely, zooming in too focused on Cookie files, and either
have MUCH bigger issues of SECURITY, or are just wasting your energy on a
tiny portion of a problem you simply cannot solve in the manner you are
attacking it.

It's also possible, though extremely unlikely, that you have a very weird,
rare, specific problem to solve, but without telling us more, will only
get useless generic answers that won't help in the least.

Re: [PHP] How to load PDF file page by page

2005-01-20 Thread Deepak Dhake

Hi Richard,
There is a concept called byte-serving with you can control the 
loading of PDF file using PHP. I am not very sure how to do it. If you 
get a chance to look into it then please let me know.

Can anyone tell me how to read large PDF file and outputs it but the PDF

I think that's more of an Adobe question than PHP, really...
I vaguely recall that you could make this happen (only?) if you were using
not just a plain PDF, but a PDF with PDI (FDI???) where, essentially, your
PDF file references *other* PDF files, and those get sucked down
separately.
Note that this is the big-time feature where you have to PAY MONEY for
libPDF and similar products, as I recall.  IE, without this feature, it
was free/cheap, but if you wanted this, you'd pay (more).
Since I never needed this feature, I only skimmed through it all, and
could be completely wrong.
Also note that, almost for sure, when you send out the main PDF, and
then that PDF sucks down all the other PDFs, you are really chewing up a
*LOT* of HTTP connections opening and closing.  Seems kind of expensive to
me for the sake of showing the user one page/part of a giant PDF in
advance...
At that point, it seems to me you'd better serve the end user by having
separate PDF files, if at all possible, and let them download the parts
they want, or just warn them it will be awhile to download... YMMV  NAIAA 
IANAL

It's REAL easy to bloat PDF files very fast, and having monster PDF files
seems like a Bad Idea (tm) to me, in general.  I'm sure there are specific
cases where it's the Right Answer and your needs may well be one of them
-- I just want to make sure you understand the ramifications before you go
down the garden path.

As I understand it, an 'interface' is, by definition, never gonna have an
actualy object instantiated.

Thus, there can never *BE* an object for which private/public/protected
have any meaning.

You can only use the private/public/protected on the 'class' definitions.

Even if you *KNOW* that all class definitions *should* for this to be
'public' it just doesn't make sense from the strictly technical
stand-point of what an 'interface' is to declare it there.

Maybe somewhere over on php-dev you could make the case for the PHP Dev
Team to implement something good/interesting when public/protected/private
is used there, but currently it's semanticly undefined to have it there,
so it can't be there.

 The *do* POST, but PHP only handles one level of array references in

 You can do something like:

$keys = explode('][', $keys);
list($key1, $key2) = $keys;
$realKeyField[$key1][$key2] = $value;

 Almost follow this but not quite.  Is this the code used to create the
 hidden HTML input tag

No, you have that correct already (though the  marks would be Good to add)

 or the one to unpack the variable after the
 post.

Yes.

What you are receiving from HTTP/POST/PHP is the same as:

$keyField['mb_memberhips][0'] = 'mb_e_id';

Note the lack of intervening apostrophes you expected:
$keyField['mb_memberhips']['0'] = 'mb_e_id';

PHP only parses POST data to *ONE* dimension.

Same as GET data too.

  What is really spooky is the keys are actually held in a
 variable in an object called keys - your telepathic abilities are very
 impressive;).

Actually, I'd recommend using something more specific than 'keys' -- I
used keys cuz I have no idea what you're doing.

You should NOT use keys, because you DO know what the data is.

'keys' is too generic for Good Programming Style.

  My first thought was when you said PHP only handles one
 level in post was to serialize the array, put the serialized version
 in as a single hidden HTML tag and unserialize at the other end.  do
 you reckon this is a goer?

This is also an option if you prefer, though I find it difficult to debug
or follow code logic when I can't use a browser's View Source to see all
the variables, so generally just un-pack the 2-D arrays as above.

 So, decide what level of access you really *need* for that property /

So when you ask yourself Self, should this be public, protected, or

You never actually use these as properties on the object, only as

So don't put them here.

Only put stuff here that you pass between functions or which you want

 var $hostname_local = localhost;

There's nothing in the HTTP protocol to allow you to send two answers to

One hack that will work on MOST current browsers is to put a:

 where $line is a string, doesn't make sense. See my other post.
 

Chaching ( sound of light bulb turning on)  I see that in the example in

switch (true)

What is not apparent to me is why the first case matches if the preg

I believe they allow single and double quotes to help accomodate client side

have the option of using single quotes in the HTML you're echoing.  Or vice

Firefox's Web Developer extension (which I highly recommend for web developers)

I always thought quoting values in HTML had to be dome with double
quotes ().  however on reeding some stuff in the PHP manual the
double quotes will cause the string to be interpolated, using single 
quotes will not - e.g.

?
$test = 'test';
echo 'this is a $test'; echo \n;
echo this is a $test; echo \n;
so its 'recommended' to use doubles only when needed, (convienience and 
readability can be requirements :-)
oh and ALWAYS use double quotes if your sending a bit of test code
because that makes it easy to cut'n'paste it into a php -r command on a 
*nix shell.

examples use single quoted.  Single quotes are allot more convenient
as I use double quotes generally for quoting strings.  So are the two
totally synonymous in HTML?

Ah...

Well, the User Contributed notes provide some examples, and the manual
says you can use expressions, but nothing clarifies, for me, the
interaction betwee n $x and [expression] in:

switch ($x){
  case [expression]: /* code */; break;
}

Is $x compared to the return value of [expression]?

I think what you need, then, is TRUE instead of $x.

...  I think I'll go out on a limb and say that in MOST CASES it would be
Bad Style to have both $x and [expression]...  I mean, it just gets too
confusing.

And if you expressions also have side-effects (incrementing, for example)
then it would be REALLY UGLY to do, like:

switch ($x){
  case ($x++): /* code */ break;
  case ($x): /* code */ break;
}

[shudder]

I pity the programmer that has to make sense of something as messy as that.

Maybe I'm just missing a really elegant example of how cool this would
be, but it seems rife for confusion to me.

it's not the static part, it's the public part. You can't make 
non-public static methods. It's simply impossible by the definition of 
protected and private (both allow only the object itself to access it, 
or (in case of protected) a descendent).

So, removing the public part should work out fine.
you are half right but for the wrong reason. think about the word

My current theory is this:

PHP takes $line and compares it as a scalar to the return value of your
expressions.

Thus, something like:

($total_count = 5) which returns a BOOLEAN is compared to $line, which,
with AKRN at the front, in boolean turns into 1.

However, when you get to ereg_match, which returns, err?, integer, PHP
type-casts to integer, at which point AKRN turns into 0.

This is what I meant when I said it was just too damn confusing to
mix-n-match a value in the switch ($x) with an expression in the case :

I'd say use expressions with switch (TRUE) or swith ($x) with constants
but don't mix-n-match unless you really want to confuse yourself.

I suppose if *ALL* the variables/expresions are of the same data-type, it
would be Not So Bad since there will be none of the PHP
auto-type-conversion to muddy the waters...

MyInterface must be called statically. A little trick allowed to me to
resolve this problem, but my question  more ideological than practical.

As I understand it, an 'interface' is, by definition, never gonna have an
actualy object instantiated.
true but thats not the reason - the reason is because an interface is a 
PUBLIC contract which a class adheres to.

Thus, there can never *BE* an object for which private/public/protected
have any meaning.
private/public/protected have meaning for static/abstract classes.
You can only use the private/public/protected on the 'class' definitions.
I think that should be 'in' iso 'on'
Even if you *KNOW* that all class definitions *should* for this to be
'public' it just doesn't make sense from the strictly technical
stand-point of what an 'interface' is to declare it there.
Maybe somewhere over on php-dev you could make the case for the PHP Dev
Team to implement something good/interesting when public/protected/private
is used there, but currently it's semanticly undefined to have it there,
so it can't be there.
Disclaimer: I could easily be 100% wrong in this entire post. :-)

Richard, what ancient version of PHP are we talking about here? Something

Would result in:

 I say this because I have since changed the first word in each line from
 something like AKRN to a numeric value, and everything works just as I
 would expect it to.  So it seems as if the ^ might be negating the \W+
 part of the regex.  Although that shouldn't be happening because ^
 only acts as a negation when it's used inside brackets, at least
 according the documentation.
 
 Again, thanks for the suggestion!
 

I think I see a possible explanation for the behavior.  preg_replace
does not return a true or false value it returns the string passed as
the subject with any matched replacements done.  Hmm the manual says it
better:

If matches are found, the new subject will be returned, otherwise
subject will be returned unchanged. 

What I think is happening is that the first match is not finding
anything to replace and returning $line unchanged.  the comparison is
true since you are comparing to $line in the switch statement.

I will p[lay with it a bit since it pisses me off when I can't figure
out what is happening.

No, Jason is right.  Your problem IS in the switch statement.  You cannot use 
it the
way you are trying to and get the results you're expecting.  Each case 
expression is
evaluated with the switch expression just as if you compared them with the ==
operator.  In your case, you're comparing the return value of preg_match() 
against
the $line string.  This isn't what you want.

Here's what happens.  Say your $line contains the string AKRN.  Your regex 
pattern
matches only if the line begins with a non-word character.  A is definitely a 
word
character, so the pattern does not match.  preg_match returns an integer 
indicating
the number of matches, which in this case is 0.

To evaluate your case, PHP does the equivalent of:

if (AKRN... == 0)

which is actually TRUE.  From:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.convers
ion

If the string starts with valid numeric data, this will be the value used.
Otherwise, the value will be 0 (zero).

Since AKRN doesn't begin with valid numeric data, it is converted to 0 for the
purposes of the comparison.  Since 0 == 0 the case comparison evaluates to true.

When you switch it to begin with a number, PHP now uses that number.  Say you 
switch
it to 1AKRN.  PHP then will compare 1 == 0 which is false.

To accomplish what you want you'll have to change it to:

switch (true) {
  case ($total_counter = 5):
...
  case (preg_match(...):
...

etc. as Jason suggested.  Why don't you try it and see if it works?

it can be inherited by classes that extend that class.
So, decide what level of access you really *need* for that property /
method.  If a property is only supposed to be modified by class methods
(for example, a password string) then make it private or possibly
protected.  If everything is public access then there is temptation to
do something like:

Back in the day, I used to code in C++
Nothing irked me more than some so-called programmer who would
over-zealously make every damned thing private.
I'd go and sub-class it, and want to make my extended class actually
USEFUL and be ham-strung by his short-sightedness.
Punk.  ;)
You know as well as I do that is the reason why we have protected 
members.  And it is also why we use PHP: because we can quickly change 
the source to fit whatever are our new requirements.  Actually I find 
myself using public / protected members about 90% of the time... 
reserving private members only for things that just don't make sense in 
a subclass.  Or, things that *should* be different in a subclass (for 
example, DSN information on a database class).

So when you ask yourself Self, should this be public, protected, or
private? make sure you phrase it as:
Can I think of ANY way in the future that some other cool programmer
would want to do fun and interesting and useful things with this?
Let the flames begin :-)
The roof.  The roof.  The roof is on fire.  ;)
Isn't everything in life a trade off?  As I see it using private vs. 
protected vs. public is a tradeoff between flexibility and 
maintainability.  If a member is private and its value is somehow messed 
up, well I know that it had to have been messed up somewhere in *that* 
class.  If it's protected then the possible error points include the 
subclasses.  If it's public, well then I could have goofed up anywhere 
(and believe me I DO!)

Call me crazy, but didn't someone just a few weeks ago suggest you try 
to LIMIT the number of places where a bug can be found?  ;)

But I digress.  I said it before and I'll say it again: it's a trade off.

I still like tables.  Absolute positioning be damned.  Most times I'm perfectly 
happy letting the browser figure out where to put things without being 
explicit.   Given, I need to do more work with CSS, but one thing I know that 
drives me absolutely crazy is when I hit a web page that uses too much CSS and 
it looks like total crap until it finishes loading everything (looks like a 
hard computer crash or something).  I know I know.. .. if it's done RIGHT that 
doesn't happen.

Anyway. Tables are still cool in my book.  Style and new standards be damned.

 What is not apparent to me is why the first case matches if the preg

Yeah, the light bulb just turned on for me, too.  I'll play around with
this and change it to boolean, but it still bothers me.  

My thinking was that $line was the expression that I wanted the switch
construct to evaluate based on each case statement.  Thus, if the regex
turned out to be true, then it matched that case and would perform
whatever code was in that branch.

Weirdest of all, however, is that I've gone into the source input file
and changed the first word in each line from text to a numeric value. 
And the switch statement works just fine.

Thanks for the help!

Well it sure is easier to debug when you are looking at the right
frigging function.  I think the logic error is still similar you are
comparing two values that are not meant to be compared.  

Since if an integer is involved in a comparison, and it is here since
preg_match returns an integer, the string will be converted to an
integer.  IIRC string to integer conversion results in 0 if the string
does not look like number.

Since the match is not found, preg_match returns 0 compared to the
string contained in $line will be converted to 0 ( if it begins with a
letter its integer represetation is 0) the case mathes and the block
executes.

That and the first case is totally misued.  you are trying to use the
switch as a series of ifs and the analogy only holds true if the
comparison is the same.

I would not hesitate to rewrite this and encourage you to do so because
even if you get it to work as intended it is not clear what you are
trying to do.

Re: [PHP] Seemingly weird regex problem

Tim Boring wrote:
Hello!  I'm having an odd regex problem.  Here's a summary of what I'm
trying to accomplish:
I've got a report file generated from our business management system
(Progress 4GL), one fixed-width record per line.  I've got a php script
that reads in the raw file one line at a time, and strips out any
unwanted lines (repeated column headings, mostly).  

I'm stripping out unwanted lines by looking at the beginning of each
line and doing the following:
1. If the line begins with a non-word character (\W+), discard it;
2. If the line begins with the word Vendor, discard it;
3. If the line begins with Loc, discard it;
4. If the line begins with a dash, discard it;
5. Else keep the line and write it to an output file.
The way I've implemented this in code is via the code snippet below. 
The problem I'm encountering, however, is that any line that begins with
a word, such as AKRN, is matching rule #1, thus discarding the line. 
This is not what I want, but I'm having difficulty spotting my mistake. 

To try to help spot the issue, I put in the if(preg_match(/^\W+/,
$line)) logic, and the weird thing is that this logic isn't outputting
the line beginning with things like AKRN, yet the same line is getting
caught in the switch statement and being discarded.
Any suggestions?
 while (!feof($input_handle))
 {
$line = fgets($input_handle);
 
\W is every NON-word character.
if (preg_match(/^\W+/, $line))
{
manual says: preg_match() returns the number of times pattern matches. 
That will be either 0 times (no match) or 1 time because preg_match() 
will stop searching after the first match.

so $line will be a string.
  echo $line\n;
}
 
if the string is 0 bytes long the switch will equate to
false and match the first false case expression.
switch ($line)
{
is $total_counter less than or equal to 5?
if yes then this case runs. else...
case ($total_counter = 5):
fwrite($output_handle, $line);
$counter++;
$total_counter++;
break;
   // Rule #1: non-word character
if $line is empty the it typecasts to boolean as false.
if the regexp does not find match (which it wouldn't in the case of an 
the empty string) then preg_match returns false. so this case always 
runs when line is empty.

probably every $line will fire this case.
   case preg_match(/^\W+/, $line):
  array_push($tossed_lines, $line);
  echo Rule #1 violation\n;
  $tossed_counter++;
  $total_counter++;
  break;
// Rule #2: Vendor at beginning of line
none of the rest will fire if $line is empty.
this case should fire if $line is not empty and starts with 'Vendor' 
(case insensitive). non empty string and numeric 1 (return val from 
preg_match()) both equate to true.

yadda yadda yadda... I just played a little test on PHP5 regarding this 
little problem. its all a misunderstanding regarding automatic 
typecasting of strings I think:

$ php -r '
switch () {
   case 0:echo hello\n;
}
switch (yes) {
   case 1:echo hello again\n;
}
switch () {
   case 1:echo huh?\n;
}
switch (yes) {
   case 0:echo huh again?\n;
}
assert( == 0);
assert(yes == 1);
assert( == 1);
assert(yes == 0);
switch (1yes) {
   case 1: echo oh?\n;
}
switch (0yes) {
   case 0: echo geddit?\n;
}
'
hello
huh again?
Warning: assert(): Assertion failed in Command line code on line 17
Warning: assert(): Assertion failed in Command line code on line 18

PHP 5.0.2 (cli) (built: Oct 21 2004 13:52:27)


case preg_match(/^Vendor/i, $line):
  array_push($tossed_lines, $line);
  echo Rule #2 violation\n;
  $tossed_counter++;
  $total_counter++;
  break;
   // Rule #3: Loc at beginning of line

  echo Rule #3 violation\n;
  $tossed_counter++;
  $total_counter++;
  break;
   // Rule #4: dash character at beginning of line

I think the /^\W+/ above will always catch this case first..
change the order of the case statements?
case preg_match(/^\-/, $line):
   array_push($tossed_lines, $line);

 PHP only parses POST data to *ONE* dimension.


 for the second time now: BULLSHIT - this is not true and has not been
 for along as I have used PHP (and that I was aware of passing around
 funky array structures via POST and GET).

 but seeing as Mr. Lynch still uses IE4 then maybe he still runs PHP3 -
 in which case he could be right about his setup.

This probably *IS* an artifact in my brain from PHP3 days.

Sorry.

[PHP] Upgrading PHP 4.2.2 on Red Hat 9

2005-01-20 Thread James Butler

Greetings,

Has anyone successfully upgraded a PHP 4.2.2 installation on a
Red Hat 9 machine to a more secure version?

I just want any more-secure version of PHP than 4.2.2, but it's looking
like I'll have to use Fedora or Gentoo or Mandrake or something in order

to be successful. Of course, this means arranging for a different
host/dedicated server ...

My main issue is that libdb-4.0.so is needed by existing installations
of curl, python, pam, cyrus, webalizer, db4, perl, postfix, sendmail,
perl-DB_File and on and on. And that's not even close to the end of the
old program dependencies list.

Upgrading via rpm is going to be a humongous pain if I have to upgrade
every program listed in the dependencies (rpm -Uvh --test), even if I
can figure out which order they need to be done in.

Building from source kills my httpd process so that it cannot be
restarted. Last two times I tried that I had to restore from my Apache
backup files, clean out the more recent PHP install and reinstall
v.4.2.2 in order to get everything up and running again. And that was an

attempt to get up to 4.3.10! Forget about v.5.0.3!

PHP.net says to be sure to upgrade ... but there's no indication of
what that means, or how to do it, or in what order all of the dependent
programs should be upgraded (if neccessary). I can find no step-by-step
upgrading instructions in any PHP or Linux newsgroup, forum, or doc.
There's no 4.2.2 to 4.3.x patch. I understand that there are manymany
upgrade details that are machine-and-OS-dependent, but I could use ANY
kind of help with this at all besides be sure to upgrade.

So I come here. (php.install hasn't had an entry for a long time, and
php.migration ended in 2001)

I'll post data, config settings, whatever you think might be helpful.
I'm hoping for someone to say First, do this ...; then, do this ...,
if at all possible. I'll even take Here's how I did it ...

Thanks in advance for ANY help at all.

James

Thank you Martin  Richard,
First Richard's question:
I am using the preconfigured binary install package
for Mac OS X 10.3.7 from Marc Liyanage at:
http://www.entropy.ch/
It has support for mysql compiled into it with
the mysql client library ver. 4.1.3beta as

if he's using MySQL 4.1.x should he be using the mysqli_*() functions
instead of the mysql_*() functions?

[PHP] For HomeSite users...

2005-01-20 Thread Daevid Vincent

OMG!

This is quite possibly the coolest thing I've found in a while, and it
breathes new life into my aging HomeSite+ v5.2 (now that Macromedia isn't
really updating it and is focusing more on their DreamWeaver line).

Just look around all those links and you will find an abundance of useful
toolbars, PHP5 color coders, snippets, context manuals, etc. I nearly
spooged on myself when I came across this today. (no pun intended)

Jeremy Swinborne [EMAIL PROTECTED] created a PHP5 color coding .scc
file that is just a life saver. It fixes many of the short comings of the
default PHP4 color coder. It handles stuff like:

echo \this is embeded $variable in my output\; and it knows about
classes!
