Indeed, whilst your method is simplistic it leaves many copies of the array
dangling in memory. Every time you call foreach it creates a copy of the
array internally. SPL iterators do things differently and know only one

so the final solution was using a foreach, however, using a foreach on an
SPL iterator object implicitly calls the inner iterator giving us all the

Re: [PHP] RecursiveArrayIterator
the purpose of an iterator is to allow client code to access the various
(aggregate) components of an object while concealing its underlying
implementation.
the client code only has to know about the iterators interface. thus 1 or
more objects that all have a potentially different data profile internally
can expose something like a getIterator() method. then client code can
interact cleanly with all such objects, because it knows only 1 interface,
the iterator interface.

Foreach doesn't bother creating a copy of the array either. It create COW handle. This wasn't true for objects in PHP4 but you're talking about arrays and if you're using iterators then you're also talking about PHP5 so no copy is being used. I don't know for certain, but I'd guess that Iterators are slower than foreach. Slower, but more convenient for some datatypes. Why do I think slower? Because if I'm not mistaken it invokes a userspace function/method on each iteration whereas foreach does not... don't quote me though, I don't use iterators since I write backward compatible scripts and so I haven't bothered to actually look at them.

[PHP] Better way to store data in memory?
Hi php-general collective, I'm building up some image data in my PHP script (ready for output to the browser). Having to do some complex per pixel manipulation, which is fine - but I'm just wondering is there a quicker / more efficient way of storing the pixel data than in an array? At the moment I hold it in $array[$x][$y], which makes the drawing loop painless, but it's creating an array with 307,200 elements which is proving to be quite slow. As I'm only storing fixed width byte values is there an alternative method? For example the ability to read/write to a chunk of memory instead? (so I can read out whole strips of data rather than one by one?) I was looking at the Shared Memory functions, but that isn't exactly what I need (I don't want it shared, I want it process specific) Cheers, Rich -- Zend Certified Engineer http://www.corephp.co.uk Never trust a computer you can't throw out of a window -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Blackbird ESB released
Hello all, After 6 months of work (OK, maybe not entirely on this!) we're pleased to release Blackbird, an enterprise service bus for PHP. It's not meant to be a replacement for something like ServiceMix, but it is usable out of the box, and it's very easy to use. (Also, ahem, a lot more efficient on memory usage, especially out of the box!) You can get it at: http://www.blackbirdesb.org/ We've included a number of samples for things like setting up a SOAP server, sending e-mail messages, bridging topics, and performing XSL transformations on messages. Documentation is also on the project site - please pardon any thin areas. We're adding to it every day. We put it under the GPLv3 - hopefully that doesn't start any wars. Appreciate any feedback and comments, too. Please post them on the forum (on the site) so we don't clutter up this already-busy list!

Re[2]: [PHP] Better way to store data in memory?
Hi Robert, Monday, July 23, 2007, 6:00:50 PM, you wrote: What kind of data? Can't you just store it in the image? Or a working copy of the image? Afraid not, I'm performing deformation on the data that requires a temporary location before rendering to the final image. If this was a straight single pixel change I could do it directly to the canvas as you suggest. Is it possible for you to just store the entires you use? or are you actually storing data for 307,200 elements? The 307,200 comes from a 640x480 image. I'm storing all elements at the moment. I can implement RLE to save on space, and was about to start doing that before I posted to the list to find out if I could avoid using an array at the same time. Depending on the image RLE itself will help considerably. Sure, store it in a string and treat the string as a binary chunk. Looks like being the only way. It'd be nice to be able to create a memblock and literally poke/peek to it (safely of course, I'm not talking about arbitrarily writing to system memory or anything). I'll check Pear first, but if there's no pre-built lib for it then it might be time to create one.

Perhaps, you can use Zend Cache which comes with Zend Framework to store your data, without sharing them, allowing to store them in files or memory (shared or not) in an easy way...I'm intersting on Zend cache for its roadmap and because its a Zend product, like php...best quality and best support.

[PHP] Strategy when working with designer(s)?
Hi all, This is more of a conceptual based inquiry. I'm currently working on some projects which require me to build system 'X' prior to any (X)HTML/CSS/graphics are available to me. A lot of the time, I just garble up default tables/forms/images to replace what the designer will be ultimately adjusting. It's certainly a lot simpler to have someone come to you with the CSS/HTML and then building on top of that. I was curious how do you folks who strictly do development and not designing, strategically work with a designer in this fashion? Do you have a skeleton you follow or preload some existing templates and then code around that? If there's even a book which focuses on such concepts, I'd be more than happy to purchase and read it.

This is just my opinion. I have only ever worked with a limited set of professional designers...Your mileage may vary. Having worked with a designer I very much respect for almost two years now, my only real suggestion is to make sure you write very standards-compliant xhtml. Lay out your pages so that they flow from top to bottom without any formatting whatsoever (think extreme simplicity). Output data naturally - tabular data in tables, paragraphs in p tags, headings in hN tags, inputs with labels, etc. Conceptually different parts can be split into div tags too. (Like div id=headerPage Title/div, div id=contentPage data/div etc.) It should look something like: Global Header * Page 1 link * Page 2 link * Page 3 link * Page 4 link Page Data Here's why: - A good web designer can work absolute magic with CSS - they can turn a well written xhtml page into a beautiful page that looks consistent across all modern browsers. (I'm lucky enough to work day-to-day with an absolute design wizard.) - It's very accessible - even simple mobile browsers screen readers and will have no problems with it. - If you don't like the work the designer has done, you can hire another and plug-in different style sheets. Depending on the calibre of designer, I think that integration may be a bit of a headache in the end though. jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you build markup that is meaninful then your designers should be able to work with what you've done, rather than you having to work with what they give you. Watch this: http://yuiblog.com/blog/2006/10/03/video-sweeney-hackday06/ If you have a well designed application, then it shouldn't matter to you what elements go on what page. If your shopping cart needs a sale price it should be easy for you to slap that into some template somewhere and put a few lines here and there within your app to make it work. It shouldn't require rewrites of the core of your application, but rather additions to it. As such, if you have your core application down you don't really need a design. It should be scaffolding that is able to function 100% as is without any pretty design.

Re: [PHP] Strategy when working with designer(s)?
I have experience with designers. My suggestion. Don't code anything client-side until they are finished, you will most likely have to change everything. You can do your functionality (login mechanism, password change, listing, query with db, etc...) and be ready for when they give you their monster. I've worked in many ways like: 1) Programmer does the functionality 2) Designer gives the design 3) Integrator tries to make it work This one fails most of the time, gives headaches when it gets to work. And will most likely go back and forth #1 and #3 a couple of times! I recommend: 1) Designer does his whole job and shows the design when finished and approved 2) Integrator works on making the pages and html without func. 3) Programmer makes the whole thing work.

Hey, clip The same would happen if I did everything myself. Within days of self-publishing a eBook, it would be on a pirate site. At least with a publisher, legal copies do get sold, and I do get a return on the time invested, even though it's not as much as I would like. /clip Also depends on how popular your site is... coz for example if your site is really popular... say 30k uniques a day, then making an ebook would be great as even though it would get pirated (by the way, check out the digital copies of harry potter if you're into that...(i'm not) how many days has it been since the release?) And as for not getting as much as you would like... thats just human nature, whatever you get wouldnt really be enough unless its some really crazy number. clip Unfortunately, an eBook is very easy for a pirate to rip off. The danger with piracy is that authors will be discouraged from writing, and in the end everyone will be worse off. /clip Discouraged...yes, stop writing...no. Coz looking at history... we still have movies and music dont we? In both normal and disc form. Lets face it, however much time and effort goes into getting a book from the authors first copy to a proper book cant compare (in $$) to what it takes to get a movie from script to screen. clip crayon Disagree again, if Adam uploads or not, there is a whole bunch of stuff out there that he cant hope to download in a lifetime. It was never mentioned *when* Adam uploaded his file, it could've been when the site first started out and uploads then were lacking. /clip crayon Time is irrelevant, because unless the site is Adam's site, or he is in some way connected to it... he can go to X number of sites and get more files than he could possibly see in a lifetime. clip kelvin Imagine that you're stealing a software from best buy or just walking out with tons of unpaid books from Barnes and noble. Piracy should be considered the same thing. If someone can't afford expensive corporate software I believe there are a lot of other similar open source software that can do just as good and useful. /clip kelvin The comparasion of stealing from a shop and taking digitally has been already done to death on this very thread so I'm not going to go there... start around july 20 in the archives if you're curious. As to your second point of when someone cant afford the software they should just switch to a similar one... from what i gather from my friends, they do it for the following reasons: 1. For the thrill, they are getting away with it 2. They are defying and hence hitting back at one of the big boys...like M$,Ad0be etc 3. They are not making any comprimises...getting exactly what they want. The question does arise of is it morally right...? but then again is it morally right for M$ / Ad0be to sell their software for USD 499 in the U.S and 499 pounds in the U.K?

OK, I'm a recent list subscriber so feel free to dump this straight to the bit bucket, but here's my 2c. We work with a lot of Web designers and it's always a challenge. We've been using content management systems heavily (we like MODx, but most are good depending on what you're looking for), and now that we have, we'll NEVER go back. We can have a designer working on a template and a developer adding functionality to that template at totally different times, with different goals. Changing the template doesn't hurt anything, provided the conceptual elements are all there. (For instance, you can't pull sidebar dynamic data into a page with no sidebar, obviously!) It really does help a lot when we work with both sides because we can define how we want things to work VERY closely, and we know that as long as the designers stay within those bounds, the sites will work no matter what we want to do with them. I suppose the answer would thus be 'yes, we have a skeleton', basically what's imposed by the limits of a CMS, but they aren't very significant. We have to be careful about what kinds of code elements we use, and where, and we have to make sure nobody tries to do silly things like using AJAX to pull CSS files on the fly for dynamic page data sets, or trying to embed large parts of the site's functionality in Flash files. However, we don't really feel restricted by those things, and it's made the quality of what we produce much higher, and much easier for customers to understand. Just my 2c.

[PHP] header( 'refresh' ), form data, and IE
Greetings. I have a data entry form that checks for valid input. If something's wrong, it should refresh back to the data entry form, and pass the existing fields back to this form, so the user doesn't have to enter everything again. This is working perfectly in Firefox. It doesn't work at all in Internet Explorer ( 6 ). I can do *simple* refresh operations, such as: header( 'REFRESH: 1; URL=http://www.google.com' ); If I do more complex things, such as append the form data to the URL, it breaks when a field is blank. For example: header( 'REFRESH: 1; URL=http://www.somesite.com/action.php' . '?description=' . $_POST['description'] . 'categoryid=' . $_POST['categoryid'] ); In the above, categoryid is always OK, because it comes from a combo ( select, whatever ), and at the least it has a default value of 0. However if nothing was entered in the 'description' field, I get a URL: http://www.somesite.com/action.php?description=categoryid=2 Firefox can handle the above perfectly. IE doesn't like the NULL description bit.

[PHP] Re: header( 'refresh' ), form data, and IE
Then validate the field obviously!
$description = ;
$categoryid = ;
if(isset($_POST['description']))
$description = ?description=$_POST['description'];
if(isset($_POST['categoryid']))
{
if($description != ) $categoryid = ; else $categoryid = ?; // if a
description has been entered you'll need an symbol otherwise a ?
$category .= categoryid=$_POST['categoryid']; // append category to
itself with the posted info
}
header('REFRESH: 1; URL=http://www.somesite.com/action.php' . $description .
$categoryid);
I didn't test this it's just off the top of my head, also you should
sanitize the input before you do anythign with it really, but that's another
issue. Also this is really something that you should be doing with ajax
rather than having the page reloading, and passing variables back, etc.
This is the EXACT purpose that Ajax as made for, validation of info. Check
out XAJAX it's very simple to use but powerfull when you need it.

Greetings.
I have a data entry form that checks for valid input. If something's
wrong, it should refresh back to the data entry form, and pass the
existing fields back to this form, so the user doesn't have to enter
everything again.
This is working perfectly in Firefox. It doesn't work at all in Internet
Explorer ( 6 ).
I can do *simple* refresh operations, such as:
header( 'REFRESH: 1; URL=http://www.google.com' );
If I do more complex things, such as append the form data to the URL, it
breaks when a field is blank. For example:
header( 'REFRESH: 1; URL=http://www.somesite.com/action.php'
. '?description=' . $_POST['description']
. 'categoryid=' . $_POST['categoryid']
);
In the above, categoryid is always OK, because it comes from a combo
( select, whatever ), and at the least it has a default value of 0.
However if nothing was entered in the 'description' field, I get a URL:
http://www.somesite.com/action.php?description=categoryid=2
Firefox can handle the above perfectly. IE doesn't like the NULL
description bit.
What's the best way around this?

H. Yeah I thought it would come to that. I was hoping for a quick
nasty fix.

I will try to make some time for investigating ajax. I'm mostly
developing in Perl, and doing nice GUI stuff ( ie no web stuff - this is
a once-off maintenance thing ), so I'll a little out of my comfort

Thanks again for your help.
