Re: [PHP] Do you use a public framework or roll your own?
What could help a developer is to plunder the available open-source frameworks and use the loot in his own code. At times these frame-works are well thought out, and some of their classes are clean, and can easily be moved into other contexts. Teus.

Re: [PHP] Re: Good source for sample data?
Agree'd. I've done this a couple of times. Usually best is to grab a couple of free online dictionary lists. One for peoples names, another for business names, then just randomly pull the data from the dictionaries. Addresses, websites, phone numbers, and zip codes can all be randomly generated, or you can use the GEONames database http://www.geonames.org/ to generate actual locations. Also, wasn't there some test data available by MySQL?

Re: [PHP] Do you use a public framework or roll your own?
I converted one that was originally in classic ASP. It's terrible, with poor design and large overhead. Used for a few projects, but now use codeigniter. It's the easiest to adapt without many of the restrictions of th larger frameworks. Bastien Sent from my iPod On Jan 29, 2010, at 5:08 AM, Michael A. Peters mpet...@mac.com wrote: Michael A.

RE: [PHP] Good source for sample data?
The US Census Bureau has lists of first names and surnames online with a breakdown of their frequency within the US population. It was very simple to extract just the names into arrays. We found it quite useful for generating database records for testing. YMMV.

[PHP] RE: Good source for sample data?
If you need verifiable mailing addresses (actual street/city/state/zip combinations), you should look at some of the databases the USPS (usps.com) has available. They are mostly for tracking delivery statistics, and the like, but as a side effect they list streets all over the USA. The only thing you won't have are street numbers and names, but you can easily generate random combinations there. By the way, if you need real-sounding names you can get a pile of first names from http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/babynames/decades/names2000s.html; I used that information as part of security screening for a registration system.

You can set Apache to parse .html pages as PHP, but I wouldn't recommend it, as any html pages that don't contain PHP code still have to be parsed as if they did, which is slower. You can also do the following: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm And then rewrite is unnecessary.

Thanks for the suggestions but I couldn't find any that suited my needs, so I made my own. Feel free to download if you can use them, I made files with up to a million unique records. Name, Company, Address, Phone, Email, etc., all are fake but are real addresses with correct area codes, zips, exchange, so will work for mapping, phone or address validation, whatever your needs are.

[PHP] In need of PHP to JS collapsable array printing routine?
I'm wondering if anyone has a PHP debug-type routine that will take a PHP array and output it to the web page, but make all the dimensions of the array collapsable, ideally showing each sub-key (or index) as the name to click to expand it again. I'm dealing with some rather huge datasets in multi-dimensional hashes and printing them out with a beautified print_r() is just not cutting it anymore. I need to collapse them down to wrap my head around them. Some of them have 6 or more dimensions!

Re: [PHP] In need of PHP to JS collapsable array printing routine?
Take a look at the Firebug addon for Firefox and another addon called FirePHP or FireConsole (the new name coming soon).

I believe it supports collapsable tree type output. -TG - Original Message - From: Daevid Vincent dae...@daevid.com To: php-general@lists.php.net Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:54:33 -0800 Subject: [PHP] In need of PHP to JS collapsable array printing routine?

[PHP] how do I use php://memory?
Hello,
I have a function that uses tidy to attempt to clean up a bunch of crappy HTML
that I inherited. In order to use tidy, I write the crappy HTML to a temporary
file on disk, run tidy, and extract and return the clean(er) HTML. The program
itself works fine but with all of the disk access, it runs quite slowly. I saw
on this page (http://www.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php.php) that I could write
to memory by using php://memory. Unfortunately, I could not quite get it to
work. The problem is that in the below function, the code within the [[[if

[[[$dirty_file_path]]] to php://memory. Has anyone ever successfully used
php://memory before? If so, what can I do to use it in my code? Thank you.

what does it matter that it runs slowly, run it once and be done with it?
alternatively use the php tidy extension and avoid the file system and shelling
out altogether.
actually I'd imagine shelling out from a webserver process is the bottle neck
and not saving/reading
from the file system.
lastly I don't suppose you've heard of /dev/shm ?

No, but I was intrigued to try it, so I tested this:
$text = 'Some text.';
file_put_contents('php://memory', $text);
echo file_get_contents('php://memory');
And it returned nothing. The docs suck on this and it apparently
doesn't work. I see others use it with fopen(), but there is no mention
of which file functions it works with and which it doesn't.

Good Day All,
The headscratcher of the day for me is as follows:
I'm busy designing a scheduling page in a table form (actually series of
floating css divs) showing days of week across/ rooms down. thats the easy
part and bookings in each cell. I know I can take the results of a query
call it expanded booking details start_ob output to html save to file/
image etc, that way on mouse over the date I can use CSS to explode the
image file displaying the results. Here's my question.
Any hints can I do all of this on the fly yet not display the HTML query
results that are created until mouse over . I'm sure this is easy with
javascript my problem is my client does has disabled javascript/ active X
scripts.
Been scratching my head for a while and it's starting to bleed.
Thanks and have a great weekend.
Cheers
Haig
Quite easy to do with some CSS.
a href=# class=details
regular content
div class=detailshidden until mouse overed/div
/a
And the CSS would be something like:
a.details
{
position: relative;
}
a.details div.details
{
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
display: none;
}
a:hover div.details
{
display: block;
}
This is a simplified example, but works without Javascript, and if the
browser doesn't support CSS, the hidden details are just displayed
normally, which is the best fail method I think.
Thanks,
Ash

I know it's not quite what you want, but what about copying and pasting the output from the view source to a more advanced text editor like Kate or Notepad++. They both support code-folding, and allow you to minimise blocks of code at points in the text, usually where you have opened brackets, etc. This also comes in handy when you're developing too.

No, but I was intrigued to try it, so I tested this:

file_put_contents('php://memory', $text);
echo file_get_contents('php://memory');
And it returned nothing. The docs suck on this and it apparently
doesn't work. I see others use it with fopen(), but there is no mention

I did a sample test from the manual with fopen like this,
?php
$fp = fopen('php://memory', 'r+');
if ($fp)

[PHP] Sessions across subdomains
Hi, I've always thought that session data was subdomain specific and would not carry over between http://www.mydomain.com and https://secure.mydomain.com, but it seems to be working for me now. Can I rely on this and post from http://www.mydomain.com to https://secure.mydomain.com and simply pass a hidden input containing PHPSESSID, or do I need to pass each key=value pair that _SESSION contains at www. and reset them as _SESSION vars at secure. https://secure.mydomain.com ? Thanks in advance, Ben

Memory: 10161240 (foreach key/value access)
Memory: 10267312 (modify single access)
Memory: 20321576 (modify all access)
I don't double up on memory consumption until I force the write onto
every element... this is expected because internally every array element
is individually subject to the Copy-On-Write (COW) principle since each
element is internally stored as a zval just like the array itself.
Thanks for this. I was just revising a bit of code to insert some extra
entries into an
array. Previously I had opened a new array, copied the data up to the insertion
point into
it, put in the new entry, then copied the tail, then renamed the new array.
After reading
this, I realise the correct procedure was to copy the existing data into a
temporary
array, insert the new entry in the existing array, and then copy the tail from
the copy
back into the working data.
This way only the data in the tail actually has to be copied, rather than the
whole array.
