[PHP] simplexml_load_file and proxy auth
Does anyone know of a way to pass proxy auth to simplexml_load_*? Previously, I have used cURL to return the XML string from remote, but this seems kind of hacky to me, and was wondering if anyone had a better solution?

Subject: [PHP] Currency Exchange Database?
I have a client that's looking to do auto conversions of currency on
their reservation payment form. No big deal, I can that part down.
However, exchange rates change on a minute to minute basis and they want
the program to automatically know the current rates. Is there an online
database or a way I can tap into a database that has that information?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

if you want to port the java code to php it wouldnt be very difficult since
this code doesnt rely heavily on much besides core language constructs.
really you could just save it as a php file and start making changes where
needed; it wouldnt take too long to port.
as for the compilation issue i took a look at this myself and discovered
some broken logic in the flush method.
for (int i=0; i= 0 sorted[i] = 12) suitA++;
else if (sorted[i] = 13 sorted[i] = 25) suit
i converted this to
for (int i=0; i fv.length; i++) {
if(i = 0 sorted[i] = 12) suitA++;
though im not sure if that is correct (spent about 5 minutes on it) a quick
guess tells me it should be.
The HandRanker class is dependent upon another proprietary class
HandRankwhich is burried in a link (not in blue text) on the page you
provided us.
There are actually links in the statement.
This HandRanker
class is used to
calculate the rank of a poker hand. It uses the
HandRank class to
store the rank of the poker hand.
So if you just make 2 files
HandRanker.java
HandRank.java
Place the respective class definitions in those files (put them in the same
directory for simplicity).
Apply the patch i provided above to HandRanker.java (lines 123, 124)
then issue (at command prompt)
javac HandRanker.java
and you should have the compiled code :)

Well, I find this a very interesting thing ;)
I have played quite a lot poker, and I still play it sometimes, and
this doesn't seems too hard for me :)
My approach would be this:
1) Deal cards, rand(1,13) for the numbers(1- Ace, 11-Jack,
12-Queen, 13-King), and rand (1,4) for color(1- spades, 2- clubs,
3- diamonds, 4-hearts)
2) Betting, with some buttons and AJAX to update pot etc.
3) Turn
4) Step 2
5) River
6) Step 2
7) Looping through all players and check what their highest
combination is, take the 2 best combinations, and see if they are
equal.If not, the highest wins of course, but if they are equal, check
if number 3 has also same combination, and if so, check number 4, ...
Now you have some players with same combination, and you need to sort
the guys by highest cards in combination. If one has higher cards than
all others, he won. If not, get only those guys that have the same
highest cards in the combination, and check those guys for their
kicker (only for Pair, Two pair, Three of a Kind, Four of a Kind). If
their kicker is equal, or there combination isn't the one I noted,
it's a split pot :)
Not too hard to program right?
Tijnema
You need to add logic to ensure that the same card is not dealt twice!
An initial routine to shuffle the deck is the approach that I would
take.

Yes, I fixed that in a second reply ;)

[PHP] shuffle or mt_rand
Hey,
Have a quick question about which is better to get real random values, shuffle
or mt_rand.
I am trying to shuffle a deck of cards and reading another thread I saw that
after a couple of thousand random generations patterns have been observed using
rand()... so its better to use mt_rand().
After i wrote a function (copied below) to get real random cards from a 52
deck, Tijnema from the list kindly sent me a piece of code thats
simpler/faster/should or would use less processing and does exactly what my
function does except it uses shuffle()...
Any idea which would be better to constantly generate proper random numbers for
a long period of time?
= My original code with mt_rand()
function load_cards($no_of_players)
{
$i=0;
$cards=array();
while($i1)
{
if(empty($cards[0]))
{
$cards[]=mt_rand(1,52);
}
else
{
$no_of_cards_already_in_array=count($cards);
$cards_to_be_dealt=$no_of_players * 2;
$cards_to_be_dealt=$cards_to_be_dealt + 5;
if($no_of_cards_already_in_array $cards_to_be_dealt)
{
$new_generated_card=mt_rand(1,52);
if(!in_array($new_generated_card,$cards))
{
$cards[]=$new_generated_card;
}
}else
{
// end the loop
$i=2;
break; // just in case the above does not break outa the loop.
}
}
}
return $cards;
}
== Contributed code ===
// only generating 5 numbers here
$deck=array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52);
shuffle($deck);

It may be used for other purposes, but they are not really relevant to my enquiry. [/snip] The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol for querying and modifying directory services running over TCP/IP. A directory service is a software application - or a set of applications - that stores and organizes information about a computer network's users and network resources, and that allows network administrators to manage users' access to the resources. Additionally, directory services act as an abstraction layer between users and shared resources. A directory service should not be confused with the directory repository itself; which is the database that holds information about named objects that are managed in the directory service. The directory service provides the access interface to the data that is contained in one or more directory namespaces. The directory service interface acts as a central/common authority that can securely authenticate the system resources that manage the directory data. Like a database, a directory service is highly optimized for reads and provides advanced search possibilities on many different attributes that can be associated with objects in a directory. The data that is stored in the directory is defined by an extendible and modifiable schema. Directory services use a distributed model for storing their information and that information is usually replicated between directory servers. I suspect for your purposes it is better (easier) to create an address book using MySQL and access it with PHP's library of MySQL functions. Using LDAP to access the directory service that access data namespaces may be a little over the top for an address book. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Well I don't disagree with you - LDAP = Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. Therefore you cannot compare it to MySQL, Well, you kinda can. If you have an LDAP server it will internally use a database of sorts to store your data and will then expost that to you via a Structured Query Language of sorts (see what I did there? I made comparison of LDAP to SQL - not to MySQL, SQL the language). because MySQL is a database product. Are you talking about Active Directory being the database? Erm, have you heard of OpenLDAP? It's probably the widest used one. AFAIK it's on all OSX machines (used interanlly from what I can gather) and is very widely used on Linux. As for the OP, I'd defo go for LDAP if it's in your office. You can find plenty methods to access you address book if it's in LDAP: via the web (PHP) in Horde or Roundcubemail, directly in your mail application (Thunderbird, Apple Mail, even outlook (tho' it's rubbish)), or through specific applications - e.g. KAddressBook in KDE on linux etc. etc. Trouble is there are a lot of schemas for representing Contacts in LDAP as no-one seems to agree on a universal scheme. What works perfectly in Apple's address book will not be flawlessly available in Thunderbird for example. YMMV but I'm very happy with LDAP.

I've recently been using some limited free time to explore the Freemovie (Flash-PHP API) and Ajax technologies. Can anyone help me to understand whether these can be used together? Can I, for example, pull data from MySQL, dynamically alter Flash function parameters, then use Ajax to deliver the new content? Thanks in advance, David
Re: [PHP] RE: Address book - LDAP or MySQL?
i havent worked w/ LDAP and PHP together as of yet; but maybe i can jump in the conversation and share some of my thoughts on the topic.. in terms of options for Timothy's address book the data for the address book will need to be stored somewhere. since Timothy is already using MySQL that sounds like a great place for the data. likely, Timothy is planning a graphical Web interface to the address book. So let me see if i can draw LDAP into the equation. lets suppose Timothy cranks out the MySQL table structure and builds an graphical interface via PHP, but he wants to allow people to query the directory through another context, something programmatic. without LDAP he could build some sort of API around the code that accesses the MySQL data. this would be exposed over http, ideally a RESTfull of SOAP interface. im wondering if LDAP would better serve this purpose since it is a protocol aimed at directory information in the first place. so if Timothy were to use LDAP instead, there would be no creation (see caveat) of the data profile for the address book. LDAP servers talks to an internal database (at least thats what OpenLDAP does [w/ BerkDB]http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/install.html). in that case there would be no time spent building the table structure. the PHP-based ui would interact w/ the LDAP server instead of the proprietary MySQL structure and third parties could access the directory via the standard LDAP protocol, thus no need to build the API. one caveat is, defining the data structure the LDAP server will access. reading the man page on OpenLDAP i discovered LDAP provides access to X.500 directory services i began to read a bit on the information model of X.500http://www.surfnet.nl/innovatie/afgesloten/x500/introducing/chapt-2.html#2.1, which appears to be customizable, but this is getting way out of my immediate zone of knowledge. so if the stock data profile from the OpenLDAP server (if thats what is ultimately used) would have to suffice or there would have to be some mad research! it seems to me like using LDAP for the directory implementation is a design decision dependent upon - a need to expose external access to the directory - a need to support standard interface to the directory - familiarity w/ LDAP (this could be the kicker :) - as always time / deadline .. -nathan On 6/29/07, Jay Blanchard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [snip] As I understand it, LDAP and MySQL offer two different ways of setting up a networked address book.

[/snip] The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol for querying and modifying directory services running over TCP/IP. A directory service is a software application - or a set of applications - that stores and organizes information about a computer network's users and network resources, and that allows network administrators to manage users' access to the resources. Additionally, directory services act as an abstraction layer between users and shared resources. A directory service should not be confused with the directory repository itself; which is the database that holds information about named objects that are managed in the directory service. The directory service provides the access interface to the data that is contained in one or more directory namespaces. The directory service interface acts as a central/common authority that can securely authenticate the system resources that manage the directory data. Like a database, a directory service is highly optimized for reads and provides advanced search possibilities on many different attributes that can be associated with objects in a directory. The data that is stored in the directory is defined by an extendible and modifiable schema. Directory services use a distributed model for storing their information and that information is usually replicated between directory servers. I suspect for your purposes it is better (easier) to create an address book using MySQL and access it with PHP's library of MySQL functions. Using LDAP to access the directory service that access data namespaces may be a little over the top for an address book. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] simple OCR in php
Hello all, I am looking for a way to incorporate some simple OCR into a php script. The user will bulk scan a pile of invoices. I want the php script to look at each invoice and read a number off the invoice. The image will then be renamed, and be organized into a directory and the file name will be added to a database. (all of these steps are straight forward once the number is read.) I have no problem with a system that requires a special OCR font and/or some sort of registration mark to help locate the Invoice number. Can anybody tell me of any tools out there that can do this?

Re: [PHP] RE: Address book - LDAP or MySQL?
Ed, Im not sure if OpenLDAP or other can use a different backed, such as MySQL. I suspect there would be a server to support this, but it would almost certainly define the table structure in the database of choice. From the sound of it there are ways to change the information model of X.500 (when using OpenLDAP) to manipulate the structure of the internal database, but telling the LDAP server to use a different database seems to be out of the question. this, based upon some light research this morning. if you want to expose an LDAP layer to clients of the CRM application you would likely have to batch some sort of import process to a new LDAP server installation. Also, you would have to support synchronization of the data in the LDAP servers database and the MySQL database of your CRM application using the LDAP as an interface. plus i dont think its too far off OP's topic, because this is something that would have to be considered in the LDAP implementation he was curious about in the first place. -nathan On 6/29/07, Edward Kay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 6/29/07, Jay Blanchard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [snip] As I understand it, LDAP and MySQL offer two different ways of setting up a networked address book.

The difference between LDAP as a protocol and LDAP servers, which incorporate the protocol and the directory storage. (please correct me if im wrong [like i had to ask :)]) You are totally correct. That's why I posted to Jay's original reply as it wasn't particularly helpful in that it basically said LDAP is not a database and left it at that. For the vast majority of scenarios, you can just consider LDAP (when referencing an LDAP server) as a database of sorts, just with a different query interface to std SQL :) Lots of things integrate with LDAP and since deploying it in my office we've continually found new uses for it due to extensive support in lots of applications, web based and desktop alike.
