[PHP] Re: Adding to a Date
There are probably a lot of ways to solve this problem, but the way I would do it: create a timestamp out of whatever date you have, then add x * 24 * 60 * 60 to it and convert from the timestamp back into whatever string format date you want. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Syntax problem - dynamic static member access
Jake, as you probably already know you usually have to give the class name when
attempting to get a static variable, i.e.
YourClassName::$bob;
You *can* dynamically refer to a static class variable from within an object
without knowing the name of the class; this is what self is for. i.e.
class YourClassName {
function getStatic($var) {
return self::$var;
}
}

[PHP] Adding to a Date
Hi,
I am trying to add "x" days to the current date for a calendar program that I
am writing. "x" represents any integer from 1 to 7. So, for x=4, the program
will get the current date
2004-11-06
and add 4 days to it:
2004-11-10
I need it to account for the next month if I want to add 4 days to 2004-11-29,
so the result would be 2004-12-03, not 2004-11-33. It would need the same
functionality in moving the year to 2005-01-02 when I add 3 days to 2004-12-30.
I hope that I've explained my objective clearly. I have tried getting the date
using
$today = date("Y-m-d");
and then trying to add "x" to it, but it only adds "x" to the year, not the day
value. So how can I get PHP to add "x" to the day value? Any help would be
awesome! Thanks,
Matt

Re: [PHP] Object oriented??
Yes of course...but was confused since some says it is so and some says it is not...So thought of asking the pros.. It is. PHP4 had limited support for OOP, though it was quite usable. PHP5 goes further and provides pretty much everything else. See the documentation on php.net for the complete language reference. I guess this is where the OP's confusion stemmed from (Robert said Yes, I said No)! A liberal definition of OO is "An adjective applied to any system or language that supports the use of objects", under which PHP would qualify. But, in strict OO languages, everything must be done using objects. You can't even do a simple "Hello, World" without them (I could be wrong on this, of course). With that understanding PHP would not be OO. So, in short, PHP __supports__ objects but does not __require__ them. There's a good chance that 20 people will chime in now, with their own corrections.

[PHP] Syntax problem - dynamic static member access
Hello All,
I am having an interesting syntax problem. :(
I have been battling this little bugger for the last week and a half, I
have exhausted google and numerous php channels in that time.
I am starting to beleive it could be a syntax that is sofar
un-documented or an unclear syntax limitation (read as: bug?).
PHP Version:
PHP Version 5.1.0-dev
- And has been tested on numerous other builds/versions
Problem:
I am trying to access a static member of a class dynamically.
ie.
$foo = 'className';
echo $foo::$staticMember;
Example Code:
-
// Define a class with a nice juicy static variable
class bob {
public static $type = 'safd';
}
// Lets chuck the name of the class into a variable...
$foo = 'bob';
// Just to show it all works lets do it manually
echo bob::$type;
// This is the line with the well-wicked parse error on the double colon
echo $foo::$type;
?>
Note that the last line in this example code generated a syntax error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM,
expecting ',' or ';' in /mnt/data0/www/twd/test.php on line 15
I'm aware that the current syntax is definately wrong, but for
simplicity i think its a good example.
I think i have ruled out its an internal scoping issue within php by
successfully using eval() to them same effect.
ie.
eval('echo '. $foo .'::$type;');
Thanks in advance for any Thoughts, Answers and Comments
Regards
Jake Press

Re: [PHP] Object oriented??
Is PHP an object oriented language. If not is it gonna be? PHP is not an object oriented language (like Java). Although PHP supports the creation of objects, you can still do pretty much everything without ever using OOP.

Your eyes are fine. You need to check for If-Modified-Since header, if

Last-Modified header and the image, else send 304 Not Modified response.
This code seems to work. Have I got it right?

// Split the If-Modified-Since (Netscape < v6 gets this wrong)
$modifiedSince = explode(';', $_GET['If-Modified-Since']);
// Turn the client request If-Modified-Since into a timestamp
$modifiedSince = strtotime($modifiedSince[0]);
}

{
$modifiedSince = 0;

Re: Re: [PHP] Problem with fopen(...) -
Well, since I'm using the latest version of the PHP plugin, it can't be that I'm using
the $_FILES variable ($HTTP_POST_FILES is for older versions of php as far as I know).
Nevertheless, I tried it.. and it didn't work.
To clarify my problem.. I'm using a form to get a file name and some other info
(regular text boxes) where the file information is supposed to be stored in the
$_FILES array (predefined by php). Though it seems that I can't use neither the [name]
or the [tmp_name] field in this array to get the file name. The error occurs directly
when I try to fopen(...) the file. I simply get the following error:
Warning: fopen("", "r") - No error in c:\code\wengine\aey.php on line 130
My MySQL db is working just fine, so is PHP (other code works), as well as the process
of using other HTML form information for PHP processing (such as textboxes).
Does the error message above ring a bell to you? Thanks..

We also replicate our databases across a few servers and it's much easier to keep track of the database than it is to make sure a bunch of filesystem-stored files are too. Some of our client database machines don't have a webservers so we don't program with just the web in mind. With storing in the database, we get transaction support and we know that an image will not be deleted if it is being referenced by another piece of data. Speed versus data integrity is something we have to juggle per client as to what is more important. If you know how to optimize your database (a stock pgsql db can be rather slow..) then the speed differences are not enough of a factor for us to know that our data just a bit more safer. -Robby -- /*** * Robby Russell | Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON | www.planetargon.com * Portland, OR | [EMAIL PROTECTED] * 503.351.4730 | blog.planetargon.com * PHP/PostgreSQL Hosting & Development *--- Now supporting PHP5 --- / signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I'm not quite getting what you're saying - are you sending the error
messages on to a new page?! The usual and simple way of doing this is
the good 'ol OR operator:
do_something() or die('Couldn\'t do it, sorry...');
Well, maybe an IF then:
if (!do_something()) {
exit('Still can\' do it...');
}
But there are also much more sophisticated ways of doing it. Clarify
exactly what you're trying to do, and we'll get back to them.

Re: [PHP] Passing values from a new window
Javascript. Simply just update ur fields at the parent window. On onUnload even of the popup do this self.opener.formName.fieldName.value=document.popupformName.popupfieldName.value; Your keywords to check in Javascript papers are parent_window, window_opener and Javascript DOM. If you're using Dreamweaver then ur blessed by having a Javascript at the palm of ur hand. HTH.
