Re: [PHP] Evaluating php code.
Ideally, i'd like to evaluate the code the user has submitted, and if an

I think this should illustrate how to do that:

Re: [PHP] Evaluating php code.
Hi Rasmus.
Thanks for the help.
I've implemented your code in a method in class 'RendererParam' as follows:
//--
---
// evaluateParameter
//--
---
/**
Evaluate the parameter's code.
*/
function evaluateParameter ( ) {
// Give variable containing error message global scope.
global $php_errormsg;
echo Evaluate code...BR;
// Supress error reporting.
error_reporting( 0 );
// Set 'track_errors' on.
ini_set( 'track_errors', true );
// Clean out error variable.
$php_errormsg = ;
// Start output buffering.
echo eval( $this-sParamName.' = '.$this-sParamValue.';' )BR;
ob_start( );
// Evaluate this parameter.
eval( $this-sParamName.' = '.$this-sParamValue.';' );
// Get the output buffer contents.
$sBufferOutput = ob_get_contents( );
// End output buffering.
ob_end_clean( );
echo '$sBufferOutput = '.$sBufferOutput.'BR';
if ( trim( $php_errormsg ) != '' ) {
echo Error was: $php_errormsgbr\n;
return false;
}
else {
echo Output was: $sBufferOutputbr\n;
return true;
}
}
//--
---
Example output:
Evaluate code...
eval( $AUTHOR.' = '.$oArticle-oAuthor-getName( ).';' )
This works greate for parse errors, which is all I really want to check for.
But I have picked up a problem.
As the parameters (read variables ) their values entered by the user may
not be in scope at the time they are entered,
in the above case I would get a fatal error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object
in /var/www/vne/vne_classes/entity/RendererParam.inc(350) : eva()'d
code on line 1
This is most obviously because I am trying to call a method of an object
which does not exist
If I understand correctly, 'error_reporting( 0 );' will supress error
messages, but this fatal error will still cause
the php preprocessor to die.
Doing a 'global $$this-sParamName, $$this-sParamValue;' will not help
either, as these given variables/objects
will not necessarly be available in the scope outside of this method either.
So...
Is there any way of telling the parser to ignore this fatal error and carry
on, or alernatively,
a way of parsing a string at face value for parse errors ie. 'Look for
syntax errors, but don't evaluate the code.'?
Thanks again for the help, it is much appreciated

Re: [PHP] Warning: Undefined variable
Erik, My two cents' (with allowance for inflation...) If you're distributing code in cyberspace it's a good idea to make it error free too, E_NOTICE or otherwise. To get the maximum help when coding, and to ensure the minimum of confusion for your users, I recommend: 1 set the dev server's PHP error setting to catch every single error/warning msg, and code well (?code Shell) 2 set the prod server to not report any errors except a complete disaster to the user (?catastrophe theory) If they are one and the same machine/server, then use 'debug' code to reset options at the beginning of dev code (and remove it when the routine is 'promoted' to prod). I got back quite a few responses on this list on the subject of having variables that are not defined before they are used. That's interesting -- it's nice to know that I can take shortcuts and conjure them up on the fly, but I didn't realize that it was good practice to declare the variable before you actually use it in a script. (I never studied programming in any formal sense, as anyone who has seen my source code can attest :). Sometimes I create variables dynamically, such that I could never declare/initialize them in any realistic sense -- for instance, I might have a while loop that executes a number of times equal to the number of rows pulled from a database query. And in this while loop, I might generate a new variable (assigning it a name like $variable$i, using the old $i++ trick to give it a unique numeric suffix). If I use this trick, does this doom me to never having fully-error-free code? Or is there something that I'm not getting here... The short of it is that, as a novice programmer, I'd like to make sure I'm writing the most legitimate code that I can. Thanks for any input on this thread, past or future. In strongly typed languages, I think there are (?have been historically) two objectives in defining variables prior to their use: 1 to set aside the storage space, and 2 to define the variable type 1 in the case of a scalar variable this seems trivial, eg INTEGER J Dim intJ As Integer In the case of an array or var/set length string, then replication needs to be added into the equation for calculating both an individual component's address and working out how much storage to set aside, eg INTEGER K(10) 2 Somewhat obviously a double-precision floating point number will require more space/bytes to store its value than a simple integer. However a common error made when programming is that you think a variable holds data of a certain type, when in fact you earlier used it in some other (very similar, but not quite the same) manner. eg //don't use this code $User = Fred; later on we do (say) a db call and pull out a row of personal data: $query = SELECT * FROM persTbl WHERE persId = '$User' ; //I'm assuming that persId is likely some sort of personnel/membership number PHP is a 'little ripper' when it comes to quick and dirty usage, because you don't have to type a declaration line before using a variable/assigning storage (per part (1)) - PHP works it out for you/from context, so it can 'very fast' (from a coder's point of view). However such does leave one open to the problems described in part (2) - which a strongly typed language would flag as an error! To this end, some people decide to describe the usage of each variable as part of the name. For example I was reading some Microsoft Excel macro/VBA stuff and there's talk of intCounter and txtNameEntered - for an integer value and the contents of a data-entry form's text box (resp). You have gone on to describe how the PHP attitude to typing enables the creation of dynamic variables/variable names. This is a really powerful feature, and has an important place in certain functions. However it is not something I would put into an intro tutorial, because with such power comes the potential to greatly expand the size of feet before bringing them into close proximity with one's mouth! One of your correspondents pointed out that a really good compromise is the associative array - the variable name (array name) stays 'constant', but the array argument/pointer can be almost anything as a 'label'. As another aside, it is also an 'advance' to know that the various contents of an array in PHP do not have to be all the same datatype (as they do/did in other languages)! Thus: $aPersRow[ persId ] = 12345; //integer $aPersRow[ persNm ] = Fred; //string $aPersRow[ persDoB ] = 1970-01-01; //date cf INTEGER K(10) setting aside space only for a collection of integers! One way that I have utilised this technique is to keep a set of counters for system/logging/reporting purposes in an associative array. The array element/label is self-documenting, and the ability to pass them all into a reporting sub-procedure as a single parameter/array name provides an easy cohesion/grouping! In PHP I have found it helpful to do something similar to the M$ conventions mentioned

Re: [PHP] Evaluating php code.
I'd leave the code checker in the global scope. In testing here I am not
getting a fatal error on a call to a method on a non-existing object.
This code returns nothing:

$code = '

$a = 1;
$b-foo();
?
';

ini_set('track_errors',true);
$php_errrormsg='';

Does this give you a fatal error? If so, you may want to look at updating
your PHP.

I've been using CVS for all of my PHP projects for the past several months. Now that I have been using it I can't imagine how I ever got along without it. It is a lifesaver when it comes to stamping out bugs since it's very easy to see changes you have made between revisions and roll them back if necessary.

[PHP] some kind of library loader
Hi Everyone! I have an idea, but I don't know how to realise it, if it can be at all. We have a relatively big system, with 52k lines of php code without much html, and many classes (1138) that depend on each other. And I think I don't need to say that php parses the code somewhat slow. That's what I'm trying to solve. I know there are code caches, but none of them suits all of our customers or our needs (price, effectiveness). Of course not all classes are needed on every page request, so I'm trying to separate them, and require them when they are really needed, but that's not easy with 1100 classes. So I thought I'd write a custom error handler, and when an unloaded class is created or it's static method is accessed an error would be triggered and I'd require it in the error handler. The only problem is, that after the error handler finished the main code is executed *after* the statement that triggered the error, so I can't tell php to give one more try for the previously faulty code. Is there any chance for this to work with some trick, or do you know of a better sollution for the problem?

[PHP] PHP FAQ (again)
I saw this mentioned a few times recently, but I'd really like to put out the call again. This group needs an FAQ *specific to this list* which helps new members / posters integrate seamlessly... really, I'm sick of seeing non specific subject lines like please help, and I'm sure we're all sick of typing replies to frequent questions, usually with a response like I think you should check the manual before posting. I'm sure we're also sick of posts which don't ask specific questions (what's wrong with my 150 lines of code??). When I first joined this group, I too was unaware of what was considered a good post (and perhaps still, I don't know!!), but some form of welcome email when people join the group, or a reminder email sent weekly which keeps the peace on this list will not go astray. Perhaps it could: - include some information on how to use the online manual/website (and the simplicity of searching) - cover some frequently asked topics which can be summarised with a link to a few manual pages or external references (how many times do we see user authentication, sessions, mail attachments, html email, header redirect and javascript in the subject line Usually, the writer asks a very generic question, seeks references and tutorials, or doesn't know what function to search for in the manual, or they're just lazy. A quick reference to these frequent topics will save a heap of time for all concerned. - remind people that there is an archive to this list that can be searched (and include the URL) Some of the posts (including OT posts, ones with meaningless subject lines, ones which ask insane questions, etc etc) in this group would be laughed at by members of other programming language groups (Perl for example). As PHP grows as a language, and as the community of users grows with it, this list is going to become higher volume. The FAQs are going to become more frequent, and the poor use / misuse of this list will grow with it. I can already see frustration growing in this list. I'd like to think that the list and it's standards can be raised a little, to make it a more valuable resource for all users, without the grief. I attach as a reference a text file FAQ which is posted frequently to the newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets. It provided me with an excellent resource when I first joined the group, and does help the list stay somewhat moderated and clean. I'm not saying it's exactly what we need, but I do feel it's time we do something. Sure, new users *could* find the archive by hunting, the *could* get flammed for a bad post, poor question, or for not checking the manual first, but wouldn't it be a smarter move long term for some sort of guideline/FAQ to be incorporated into the list upon subscription, and perhaps on a weekly basis?? I'm happy to help in any way I can, but don't consider myself guru enough to develop this from scratch. Apologies for the long post, especially since this topic has been kicked around before.

This FAQ-list contains the edited result of a collective effort among regular participants in the Usenet newsgroup... comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets The purpose of this document is to provide answers to a few of the most frequent questions raised in the 'ciwas' Usenet newsgroup. At the moment, almost all discussion on this group relates to CSS, although that might not always be so. This document does not aim to be a complete tutorial in stylesheets or in CSS. There is a separate FAQ-list about the Usenet group itself, its charter, customs and posting conventions. For further information about stylesheets and about CSS see the resources listed in the resource sections of http://css.nu/faq/ciwas-mFAQ.html The following notational convention is used in this FAQ. Single quote marks are used to denote keywords, e.g. 'font-family' and those quote marks are not a part of the keyword. Double quote marks are used to denote text that is quoted from another source, and/or to mark jargon.
Re: [PHP] PHP FAQ (again)
Small flaw in this. The new user would have to actually go and read the FAQ... I'm a member of many lists, and I've never read the FAQ about the list... but I've allways been aware that posting newbish questions is frowned on, so I never did so. So unless the FAQ was placed infront of them when signing up to this list (if they actually sign up), then it might not get the results you expect.

RE: [PHP] PHP FAQ (again)
I am in total agreement with Justin on this one. Many of the posters use need help, newbie needs help , etc. We need to have some form of FAQ with detailed instructions on how to post so that I do not have to ask; What OS are you using, what version of php, which database, etc This gets tedious and time consuming. Not to mention the amount of posts. I've been watching Rick Emery give out tons of help, but many of his first questions are about clarifications on what a users is needing help on. Some extra detail will provide faster and reliable help. Just some extra thoughts here... I now some mailing lists will not even reply if you do not follow specific criteria when you post...

RE: [PHP] PHP FAQ (again)
It's not so much the newbish questions but the determination of the part of the newbie to find an answer. I have found many of my answers on google or the web. Some extra searching is required. Many of the questions can be answered if some extra searching where involved. However, when you ask if they have researched some of the information and the reply is no...Then I say RTFM and STFI...

I think the key to a good post is be as specific as possible without being overly wordy, for want of a better expression. I skim this list every morning and there are too many vague posts made (by new users, granted) that I don't have to time to answer. If someone states their problems in a concise manner (and it is something I can help with), then I will gladly take a couple of minutes to point them in the right direction of a web resource (I hate reinventing the wheel) or I'll batter out a quick solution if possible. I would love to help more flailing PHP souls, but there aren't enough hours in the day to do so. I agree wholeheartedly that there should be some kind of FAQ and/or central solutions database where people can be pointed if they are covering old ground. I think that it would ease a lot of tension on the list if people had such a tool at their disposal, rather than greeting an honest cry for help with a mugfull of vitriol. :) Some of the posts (including OT posts, ones with meaningless subject lines, ones which ask insane questions, etc etc) in this group would be laughed at by members of other programming language groups (Perl for example). Very true. As PHP grows as a language, and as the community of users grows with it, this list is going to become higher volume. The FAQs are going to become more frequent, and the poor use / misuse of this list will grow with it. I can already see frustration growing in this list. Frustration leads to anger, anger leads to hate, the Dark Side is only around the corner! ;) I think there's frustration from the more experienced members (daft questions, covering the same ground over and over) but I can imagine the frustration of the new users when they don't get the help they so desperately require. After all, they probably feel that what they are asking is a legitimate question and yet all they receive in return is a couple of tons of napalm. Sure, new users *could* find the archive by hunting, the *could* get flammed for a bad post, poor question, or for not checking the manual first, but wouldn't it be a smarter move long term for some sort of guideline/FAQ to be incorporated into the list upon subscription, and perhaps on a weekly basis??

[PHP] What's wrong with the Array? Im baffled!
Hi!
I'm a little baffled on why the array is not working the way I expect it
to. It showed there is something about the array I do not know about.
Well, it's never too late to learn something new. So, here's the code and
see if you can help me out.
-- clip --
$name = TU4R;
if ($sumItUp[$name] == ) {
$sumItUp[$name] = 0;
} else {
//debug
echo **;
$number = $sumItUp[$name];
$number++;
$sumItUp[$name] = $number;
}
echo $sumItUp[$name].br;
-- clip --
In this case, the if statement never went into else statement when
there's a number like 0, 1, 2, etc. So, what's the heck is happening here?
When the array, sumItUp[] was empty then the number 0 was assigned and
it work like a charm. So, when this code is repeated again, the if
statement check the array, sumItUp[] and found a number, 0 and it is not
equal to as shown in the if statement. So, therefore the else statement
should be executed. But in this case, it never did. I tested it myself to
make sure I wasn't missing something by putting in the php codes, echo
'**'; and the data, ** was never spitted out on the webpage. So, it tell
me that the else statment was never executed. So, the problem had to do
with the data in the array itself. So, can anyone help me out? Thanks a
million!!

Hi!
I'm a little baffled on why the array is not working the way I expect
it
to. It showed there is something about the array I do not know about.
Well, it's never too late to learn something new. So, here's the code and
see if you can help me out.
-- clip --
$name = TU4R;
if ($sumItUp[$name] == ) {
$sumItUp[$name] = 0;
} else {
//debug
echo **;
$number = $sumItUp[$name];
$number++;
$sumItUp[$name] = $number;
}
echo $sumItUp[$name].br;
-- clip --
In this case, the if statement never went into else statement when
there's a number like 0, 1, 2, etc. So, what's the heck is happening
here?
When the array, sumItUp[] was empty then the number 0 was assigned and
it work like a charm. So, when this code is repeated again, the if
statement check the array, sumItUp[] and found a number, 0 and it is
not
equal to as shown in the if statement. So, therefore the else
statement
should be executed. But in this case, it never did. I tested it myself
to
make sure I wasn't missing something by putting in the php codes, echo
'**'; and the data, ** was never spitted out on the webpage. So, it
tell
me that the else statment was never executed. So, the problem had to do
with the data in the array itself. So, can anyone help me out? Thanks a

Re: [PHP] PHP FAQ (again)
Justin, I think this is a good idea, but it looks to be more of a searchable FAQ, which will highly detailed... I'm really thinking of a medium-length email introduction to the group (as per my attachment) which hopefulyl cleans up the group a bit. Your resource could be fantastic, and could help with what i'm talking about, but isn't really the answer *I* had in mind :) Half the problem is that newbies AREN'T searching before asking Q's, or don't know where to search, or don't know the right question to ask... so any huge FAQ will not help this problem -- even though it will be a great asset to the community. All sounds like a good idea. Your first post was at least half-way there, so why don't you, in true open systems style, take the lead and gather a group of other like-minded and motivated people, and just Nike/do it? Unfortunately the benefits are predicated on two things: 1 the unreasonable: will the newbie/questioner bother to consult any FAQ before putting fingers to keyboard? At the one extreme we have people who don't even notice that there are unsubscribe instructions at the end of every msg, and beg to be released from membership (and please encourage them to go - bless 'em!) Another is the person who is so bound up in his/her work or perhaps naturally self-centered, that (s)he can justify 'breaking' any 'rules' because I JUST need to know NOW (those three capitalised words saying it 'all'). I've had three and four-round correspondence with several ratbags where the last contribution from me boils down to read what I wrote in paragraph-n of my first reply and from them Sorry, I've been working continuously for 17hours and can't see straight (to put it politely - and sometimes they don't feel it necessary to thank/apologise...) 2 the reasonable: the worst problem a newbie faces is working out the terminology/jargon. I'm currently helping someone working in MS-Excel and disappearing deep into the bowels of macros/VBA. His system is German language, and mine English. Often my problem is working out first the 'M$ word' for something by chasing through the KnowledgeBase, and then perhaps working out how to translate it into German-Excel... Anyone who has (also done something bad in a previous life) worked with M$ products is familiar with this problem/feeling. The same applies here: a newbie might talk about a 'logon and a password' without knowing that the online manual's search engine will answer his/her question in a flash if the word authentication is used... Yes a bit of thought in the amount of info given (not too little, not too much - quite a tall order when you're seeking an answer to something you don't understand!), and the quality of message titles/subjects, does go a long way towards motivating me (at least) into considering taking the time and trouble to reply, etc, etc. Go for it! =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Environment Variables Functions Incompatible???
I am running code on different versions of PHP, specifically 4.0.6 and
4.1.2. For some reason, you have to use $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[HTTP_HOST]) on
4.0.6 and $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] on 4.1.2. I'm not sure who thought that
breaking backward compatibility was a good idea, but let's ignore that for
the moment. In this situation, the obvious thing to do here would be to
make a common function to return the hostname. But, this does not work as
illustrated below:
- this is the main PHP script
?php
//main.php
include (crap.php);
function thisalsonowork()
{
print Third one: (.isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS[HTTP_HOST]).);
}
thisnowork();
print Second one: (.isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS[HTTP_HOST]).);
thisalsonowork();
?
--- this is the include/require script
?php
//crap.php
function thisnowork()
{
print First one: (.isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS[HTTP_HOST]).);
}
?
--- Here is the output
First one: ()Second one: (1)Third one: ()
Besides the fact that the different versions of PHP provide different
environment variables for determining the host, the isset() on the env
variable works differently inside a function. What is going on here?
Am I just missing something obvious?

[PHP] Re: some kind of library loader
Arpad, as I read your mail one silly thing came into my mind: You can try to load all those classes as texts into a db and then to execute the needed ones as eval()ed strings. It could be easy for you to create the logic because the PHP code are stings and are never included but SELECTed. Not sure if this could be wise to do, just throwing out an idea. Maxim Maletsky Founder, Chief Developer PHPBeginner.com (Where PHP Begins) www.PHPBeginner.com maxim phpbeginner.com Arpad Tamas writes: Hi Everyone! I have an idea, but I don't know how to realise it, if it can be at all. We have a relatively big system, with 52k lines of php code without much html, and many classes (1138) that depend on each other. And I think I don't need to say that php parses the code somewhat slow. That's what I'm trying to solve. I know there are code caches, but none of them suits all of our customers or our needs (price, effectiveness). Of course not all classes are needed on every page request, so I'm trying to separate them, and require them when they are really needed, but that's not easy with 1100 classes. So I thought I'd write a custom error handler, and when an unloaded class is created or it's static method is accessed an error would be triggered and I'd require it in the error handler. The only problem is, that after the error handler finished the main code is executed *after* the statement that triggered the error, so I can't tell php to give one more try for the previously faulty code. Is there any chance for this to work with some trick, or do you know of a better sollution for the problem?

Hi Ray! I am in total agreement with Justin on this one. Many of the posters use need help, newbie needs help , etc. We need to have some form of FAQ with detailed instructions on how to post so that I do not have to ask; There are so many ressources on the web on how to pose questions in mailing lists. Do you think some extra documentation would help here? I am afraid many of these posters wouldn't read this FAQ, neither... I now some mailing lists will not even reply if you do not follow specific criteria when you post... That's up to everyone himself... BTW, there are many docs on the web, too, on how to quote (avoid full quotes...) Like someone (Rasmus?) wrote, there is a quite smart PHP documentation to cover most of the basic questions, and a lot of help here... Again, do you think someone who isn't checking ouzt the online doc would be reading the FAQ?

What is the php syntax for adding or subtracting dates? For example, I'd like to do something like this: 2002-04-03 - 2002-04-02 = 1 or 2002-04-03 - 2002-04-02 = -00-01 or 2002-04-03 + -00-01 = 2002-04-03 etc. Can anybody help this newbie?

[PHP] closing a security hole on user accounts possible? - confirming accounts - history function
Hi there, is it possible to block hackers from stealing a session with the history function of the browser? Example: A user registeres and recives a confirm e-mail. He confirms and does close all browser windows. He leaves. Another user comes to this computer opens the browser and the history and clicks on the confirm link Boom!! He has the session and is able to do all the stuff the other one can. How could I close this security hole? Is there a work around?

[PHP] Re: What's wrong with the Array? Im baffled!
it is obvious, Scott:
if ($sumItUp[$name] == ) {
is like to say if $sumItUp[$name] is an empty string. Means, that if it
was not assigned, or if it contains any kind of character in it this will
result to false.
Try using this:
if(isset($sumItUp[$name]) and strlen($sumItUp[$name])) {
}
this will mean:
if there's such variable defined and the lenght of what it contains is
bigger than 0 the statement will result TRUE.

Hi!
I'm a little baffled on why the array is not working the way I expect it
to. It showed there is something about the array I do not know about.
Well, it's never too late to learn something new. So, here's the code and
see if you can help me out.
-- clip --
$name = TU4R;
if ($sumItUp[$name] == ) {
$sumItUp[$name] = 0;
} else {
//debug
echo **;
$number = $sumItUp[$name];
$number++;
$sumItUp[$name] = $number;
}
echo $sumItUp[$name].br;
-- clip --
In this case, the if statement never went into else statement when
there's a number like 0, 1, 2, etc. So, what's the heck is happening here?
When the array, sumItUp[] was empty then the number 0 was assigned and
it work like a charm. So, when this code is repeated again, the if
statement check the array, sumItUp[] and found a number, 0 and it is not
equal to as shown in the if statement. So, therefore the else statement
should be executed. But in this case, it never did. I tested it myself to
make sure I wasn't missing something by putting in the php codes, echo
'**'; and the data, ** was never spitted out on the webpage. So, it tell
me that the else statment was never executed. So, the problem had to do
with the data in the array itself. So, can anyone help me out? Thanks a
million!!

RE: [PHP] closing a security hole on user accounts possible? - confirming accounts - history function
You could assign a randomly generated confirmation code to the link for example http://yoursitel.com/membershipconfirm.php?user=jsheetsconfirmid=1238D7adfd a Then when the user hits that link have membershipconfirm.php check the database, confirm the user and the confirmid, if it matches remove that entry from the database and finish setting up the user account. Now if another user hits that page the confirmid will be invalid and they will not get access. I would make the confirmation page a form that asks the user to enter their username and confirmation id, then auto-populate the fields with the values from the URL, that way if the user's email client mangles the url they can still type it in manually.

[PHP] Re: Any ideas on combining arrays????
See, Scott.. It is all about your logic. For instance, you can create a nice multidimentional array like this: Array( '0'=Array( 'data'=Array( // your whole data array data data data ), 'parameters'=Array( // the settings rlative to data array 'count'='256', 'type_of_data'='strings', 'came_from_DB'='PostgreSQL', 'came_from_table'='thisTable' 'etc'='bla...bla..bla..' ) ), '1'=Array( 'data'=Array( // your whole data array data data data ), 'parameters'=Array( // the settings rlative to data array 'count'='258', 'type_of_data'='integers', 'came_from_DB'='mySQL', 'came_from_table'='thatTable' 'etc'='bla...bla..bla..' ) ), ... etcetc...etc... ); in this way you can loop the whole thing, access the data by refering to the 'data' subarray and then get the parameters (counts, types whatever you want) by accessing 'parameters' subarray containing the relative settings for that very array. As I said in the very first line - all up to your logic and the organization rules within the code. Hope it is of any help to you.

RE: [PHP] register session
Make sure you have session_start() before any output is sent to the browser,
also look for whitespace at the top of your file, sometimes a blank line or
a space can cause this error.
The reason you get this error is session_start() needs to add information to
the headers but because they have already been sent it can't. You can
either put session_start before any output or you can enable output
buffering.
If this doesn't work let me know.

You can add an extra header to help you.

Subject: [PHP] Re: Any ideas on combining arrays
Well, I don't thinik this will work. Because I will recieve an
unknown
number of data. The number of PH10 I would get would be either 1 or 2
or
126, etc. There is no way to determine the number, so I already create
an
counter to tell me how many of them. So, that leave me with an need to
create an array to unlimited number of PH10 without overwritting the
current
PH10. Here's my demo.
TU4R = TU4R is 0
PH10 = PH10 is 0
PH10 = PH10 is 1
PH10 = PH10 is 2
Can anyone write a multidimentional array demostration to handle
this
demo?
Thanks a Million!

See, Scott.. It is all about your logic.
For instance, you can create a nice multidimentional array like this:
Array(
'0'=Array(
'data'=Array( // your whole data array
data
data
data
),
'parameters'=Array( // the settings rlative to data array
'count'='256',
'type_of_data'='strings',
'came_from_DB'='PostgreSQL',
'came_from_table'='thisTable'
'etc'='bla...bla..bla..'
)
),
'1'=Array(
'data'=Array( // your whole data array
data
data
data
),
'parameters'=Array( // the settings rlative to data array
'count'='258',
'type_of_data'='integers',
'came_from_DB'='mySQL',
'came_from_table'='thatTable'
'etc'='bla...bla..bla..'
)
),
... etcetc...etc...
);
in this way you can loop the whole thing, access the data by refering
to
the
'data' subarray and then get the parameters (counts, types whatever
you
want) by accessing 'parameters' subarray containing the relative
settings
for that very array.
As I said in the very first line - all up to your logic and the
organization
rules within the code.
Hope it is of any help to you.

Hi!
Need some ideas on combining some arrays into one! I have array
for
data and other array for counter. How do I make an array that would
show
different data for each counter number?
-- clip --
$FFR = array (
TU4R = array( data = , count = ),
PH01 = array( data = , count = ),
);
-- clip --
The response should look something like this when I pick the
correct
data and correct count;
$FFR[TU4R][data][0][count] = TU4R is 0;
$FFR[TU4R][data][1][count] = TU4R is 1;
$FFR[TU4R][data][2][count] = TU4R is 2;
I tried to do something like this but it doesn't work. I have
been
working for 2 days trying to figure it out. I appreciate any help

But it costs me 5 minutes to format my headers correctly. You really want to reduce frivolous posts on this list? Do as I said before. Send an automated notification to the list once or twice a week informing users of where they can get answers to common questions and how to post questions so that they get the best feedback (ie descriptive subject, to the point, code examples, etc..).

Re: [PHP] Re: some kind of library loader
On Thu, 4 Apr 2002, Maxim Maletsky wrote: You can try to load all those classes as texts into a db and then to execute the needed ones as eval()ed strings. It could be easy for you to create the logic because the PHP code are stings and are never included but SELECTed. Not sure if this could be wise to do, just throwing out an idea. Offhand I'm guessing the payoff wouldn't be great, because you'd lose the benefit of PHP's own code caching. Depends on how much of this voluminous code actually gets used on any one run, I suppose. But why not do the same thing with conditional includes, and then at least let PHP cache it? Thanks for your suggestion Maxim and Miguel. Unfortunately storing code in db wouldn't solve my problem, becuse then I still had to recognise when the classes are really needed. Now in the 52k lines of code we just have $x = new SomeClass(); $y = new OtherClass(); or $result = AnotherClass::staticMethod(); statements, and we have many of them. That's why I'm searching for a sollution that we can use without rewrite all these calls with the extension of a test if the needed class's definition was or wasn't loaded before. So I'd like to use conditional includes, and my first thought was that somehow I can make it with a custom error handler, but unfortunately I realized quickly it's not that simple. Maybe you or someone can help, If I explain my problem in a little more detail. We have a portal-creator system (like many of you, I guess), with an own developed template system. Of course we sell it to customers who have their own needs. They create the designs, or tell us how the site should look, and the created templates determine what template classes are needed for generating the pages. The template classes require other base classes that are responsible for handling the db storage. We have about 430 classes (I misscalculated it in my firts mail), and they have many cross reference to each other. So it's hard to know explicitly if a class definition is needed, except of course at every new operator, and static method call, but there are plenty of them. Parsing of (almost) all of the php code takes about 1,5secs on an athlon 800 cpu, which is far from reasonable. I expect that with conditional includes at least half of the code wouldn't get parsed on a normal site, and even less on a smaller site. I wrote that I tried many code caches (I sent the results in deatils in December), but none of them - except Zend Cache - made significant speed-up (PHP-Accelerator also gave good results for speed, but I got many errors). Unfortunatelly Zend Cache isn't affordable for many of our client, especially the smaller ones, who don't need many of the features of the system, so they would benefit much from the conditional includes. I hope someone who had the same situation can help, or at least I get reinforcement, that I can't by-pass the hard way (to write an if clause before every use of a class wether it was loaded or not).

RE: [PHP] syntax for date math expressions
this is an option that only sort of works (converting to date/time); $x = strtotime(2002-04-03) - strtotime(2002-04-02); $x will contain 86400 which is the number of seconds in a normal day. Since the days that some people use switch from daylight savings time to standard time (and visa versa) there are a different number of seconds in those days so simply dividing by some fixed value will not work (this is what I mean by sort of). Some databases have a datadiff function, perhaps you can pass a query something like SELECT datediff(2002-04-03,2002-04-02) as difference from realtable Warren Vail Tools, Metrics Quality Processes (415) 667-7814 Pager (877) 774-9891 215 Fremont 02-658 -Original Message- From: Rick Emery [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 11:02 AM To: 'ROBERT MCPEAK'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] syntax for date math expressions Convert to date/time variable and perform arithmetic.

I'm not sure I understand what problem you're trying to solve. It looks something like the number of times a given piece of data occurs per user?

Re: [PHP] New Server, Bad Attitude
Most of these are probably software/configuration errors. 1. Use the stripslashes() function to remove those slashes. It does this to escape the apostrophes and quotes. 2. What were you using to encrypt your passwords before? 3. Does your server have smtp running on port 25? I think it needs to be before php can send e-mails.

What happened is (long story short) he was forced to use a new server for the web sites on his old one. One of them was mine. I'm experiencing some weirdness now: 1. PHP automatically sticks in the backslash in front of apostrophes and quotation marks. This seems weird Don't trust it. What's up here? 2. The encryption method seems to be different. This is weird, because (basic password scenario here), I can log in to my account (the server encrypts my password properly and compares it to the one 'on file' and voila). But, when the password is changed, encrypted, and saved, it seems to encrypt differently than when simply entered in a login screen. Now it seems to have a bunch of $ signs in it, whereas before it didn't. 3. The mail function doesn't send e-mail, or I should say hasn't yet (after a few hours). Is this a PHP setting? Maybe the sendmail functionality is wonky on the server? Or is it possible PHP isn't looking in the proper place for the sendmail stuff? Now, not being totally hardware-savvy, I'm not sure what could cause these. One thing may be that the OS is different (was Redhat, is now Debian). Also, my friend upgraded from PHP3 to 4.

Use a multi-dimensional array... try this as a kind of 'proof of
concept'
?php
$array[tu4r][]=0
$array[tu4r][]=10
$array[tu4r][]=100
$array[tu4r][]=1000
$array[ph10][]=0;
$array[ph10][]=1;
$array[ph10][]=2;
$array[ph10][]=126;
echo 'pre';
foreach ( $array[ph10] as $value ) {
echo ' PH10: '.$value.chr(10);
}
echo '/pre';
echo 'pre';
foreach ( $array[tu4r] as $value ) {
echo ' TU4R: '.$value.chr(10);
}
echo '/pre';
?

Subject: [PHP] Re: Any ideas on combining arrays
Well, I don't thinik this will work. Because I will recieve an
unknown
number of data. The number of PH10 I would get would be either 1 or 2
or
126, etc. There is no way to determine the number, so I already create
an
counter to tell me how many of them. So, that leave me with an need to
create an array to unlimited number of PH10 without overwritting the
current
PH10. Here's my demo.
TU4R = TU4R is 0
PH10 = PH10 is 0
PH10 = PH10 is 1
PH10 = PH10 is 2
Can anyone write a multidimentional array demostration to handle
this
demo?
Thanks a Million!

See, Scott.. It is all about your logic.
For instance, you can create a nice multidimentional array like this:
Array(
'0'=Array(
'data'=Array( // your whole data array
data
data
data
),
'parameters'=Array( // the settings rlative to data array
'count'='256',
'type_of_data'='strings',
'came_from_DB'='PostgreSQL',
'came_from_table'='thisTable'
'etc'='bla...bla..bla..'
)
),
'1'=Array(
'data'=Array( // your whole data array
data
data
data
),
'parameters'=Array( // the settings rlative to data array
'count'='258',
'type_of_data'='integers',
'came_from_DB'='mySQL',
'came_from_table'='thatTable'
'etc'='bla...bla..bla..'
)
),
... etcetc...etc...
);
in this way you can loop the whole thing, access the data by refering
to
the
'data' subarray and then get the parameters (counts, types whatever
you
want) by accessing 'parameters' subarray containing the relative
settings
for that very array.
As I said in the very first line - all up to your logic and the
organization
rules within the code.
Hope it is of any help to you.
