[PHP] class constructor polymorphism
Hi to all,
I'm a C++ programmer and I've to convert some simple classes
from C++ to PHP. My toolbar_button class must have two or more
constructors so I ask you if this is possible with PHP:
class toolbar_button
{
CString m_name, m_tooltip, m_image, m_action;
bool m_state, m_is_separator;
toolbar_button(void) { /* my code here */ };
toolbar_button(AnsiString name, bool state) { /* my code here */ };
toolbar_button(toolbar_button *abutton) { /* my code here */ };
}
I'm using PHP 5.0.4 for Windows.
Thank you very much

Re: [PHP] Need help: change a string in a file
Richard, Thanks for the answer. I understand that I can't do it the way I wanted . I have changed my design. Thanks ALL who answered. -Saswat On Apr 7, 2005 8:18 AM, Richard Lynch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wed, April 6, 2005 10:07 am, Saswat Praharaj said: I need some help in searching string in a file. My requirement is to search the string,append something to the string . Write the string back to the file without changing other parts of the file. e.g Suppose I have the following string in a file Set-Cookie: T_COOKIE=127.0.0.1-saswat-9; path=/ The fixed string is Set-Cookie: T_COOKIE=and rest of the string is variable. I would like to change the string 127.0.0.1-saswat-9 to say 127.0.0.1-saswat-9-1234 Problem is, that's *MORE* bytes than are already there. You can't just smush a few more bytes in. You will *HAVE* to write out a new file. But you can read in only the first couple hundred bytes until you find your Set-Cookie: T_COOKIE, and then you write out the stuff before that, write out your new data, then read/write the whole rest of the file. You may also want to consider using, say, awk or sed or whatever from http://php.net/exec -- I don't expect them to be that much faster than PHP, but what do I know? My constraint is : I don't want to read the whole file into a buffer and work on that buffer as the file can be very large , sometimes more than 10 mb. My advantage is : I know that I will get the search string in first 200 bytes of the file , so I just need to read 200 bytes,play with that and write it back (overwriting the first 200 bytes with new 200 some bytes) .. If it's really 200 bytes for 200 bytes, yeah, fopen(..., 'r+') will work. But if you can't squeeze your bytes into the same space as is already there, you can't do that. You might also be able, for the future, to start using: 127.0.0.1-saswat-9-000 and then you'd be able to replace up to and get back something you can easily read/write/format to be meaningful. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Multilingual Web application - how to?
Hello list, I need to develop a multilingual web site and I am looking for the best way of handling this task. There are three main issues I know: 1. Storing multilingual data in a database. Possible solutions I know: a. many tables, one per each supported language, e.g. news_en, news_de. b. one table having many columns with translations, e.g. (id, date, text_en, text_de) We use MySQL 4.1 as a back-end. 2. Multilingual HTML templates, possible solutions: a. one generic template for everything, one per each language, like contents_en.tpl.html, contents_de.tpl.html b. many localized templates for each page, e.g news_en.tpl.html, news_de.tpl.html Template engine is Smarty. 3. Storing current language variable, possible solutions: a. inside the URL like /en/news/ b. using cookies c. using sessions Web server is Apache2+mod_rewrite with PHP5 What are pros and cons for each solution?

b. one table having many columns with translations, e.g. (id, date, text_en,

We use MySQL 4.1 as a back-end.
what about 1 table, 3 columns:
translatekey (varchar) - string to translate
lang- lang code/id/name
translation (varchar/text) - translated string
2. Multilingual HTML templates, possible solutions:
a. one generic template for everything, one per each language, like
contents_en.tpl.html, contents_de.tpl.html
b. many localized templates for each page, e.g news_en.tpl.html,
news_de.tpl.html
Template engine is Smarty.
using Smarty I sometimes assign an assoc array of translated strings:
$Lang['yes'] = 'yessiree';
$Lang['no'] = 'nocando';
then in Smarty:
div class=LangExample
'yes' is {$Lang.yes},
'no' is {$Lang.no}
/div
3. Storing current language variable, possible solutions:
a. inside the URL like /en/news/
best in terms of SEO.
b. using cookies
handy for presistence.
c. using sessions
provides cleaner URLS.
I see no reason to do all 3.

Regards,
Aurélien
also, I think Bob is a tad confused about what header does exactly.
Because header() adds lines to the RESPONSE-header, not the
REQUEST-header. The REQUEST header can send its request as a
GET/POST/PUT/whatever, while the response header doesn't do anything
even remotely like that. Basically, the 'Location'-response-header tells
the browser that the file can be found at a different location, so the
browser redirects there automatically. This is *not* a GET! Since you've
added your query to the URL and browsers, by default, use the GET method
of requesting data, the URL the browser will redirect to will be
requested with the GET method, so it might seem asif you were using GET
to request the page, for the browser, but in truth you don't have
anything to day about it.
Now, what Aurélien is talking about, cURL, is the other end of the
story. cURL can take on the role of both ends of the line, so it can
send either the request, or the response. But, it will not send it to
the user('s browser), but instead over a connection that it was told to
send it over.
Basically, this means that you can't tell a browser it needs to do a
POST request to another page via PHP. There :)
hope that helps you in understanding,

Re: [PHP] Re: using rand()
i guess a good question would be which one of these methods has more overhead - having php calculate the random numbers for queries, or having the mysql db pick them at random itself? i don't really focus that much on optimization, but if you expect heavy traffic on your site, it might be in your best interest to find out which one executes quicker.

Re: [PHP] Re: using rand()
I guess so, but I dont think the difference would be all that great using rand() in php or order by rand in mysql.. worth checking up for programmer show off rights anyway :-) Cheers, Ryan i guess a good question would be which one of these methods has more overhead - having php calculate the random numbers for queries, or having the mysql db pick them at random itself? i don't really focus that much on optimization, but if you expect heavy traffic on your site, it might be in your best interest to find out which one executes quicker.

Re: [PHP] POST method to php page from php page
Hello all Does anyone know if its possible to post data using the http POST method to another form using php? Yes. If you search around you'll find some pure-PHP code snippets to do this... or do it yourself... To programmatically make a POST request you need to open a socket connection to the web server on port 80 and send the following information: -- POST /path/to/form.php HTTP/1.1 Host: www.somehost.com Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-length: 71 Connection: close =urlencoded_xxx_datayyy=urlencoded_yy_data -- Each line is terminated by a single newline (\n). Content-length is simply the length of the data being sent (the last line in this case). You'll need to urlencode the data in order to transport it safely. See this for more info on what this does: http://us3.php.net/urlencode. Only encode the actual data though... that is the stuff after the equal sign.

[PHP] Why is it possible to assign data to _not_declared_ vars in a class (PHP 5.0.3)?
Hello All,
Why is this working?
?php
class foobar {
public
$a,
$b;
public function __construct() {
$this-a = Hello ;
$this-b = world! ;
$this-c = Good bye... ;
}

echo $this-a.br;

echo $this-c.br;
}
}
?
CALL:
$test = new foobar();
$test-foo();
OUTPUT:
Hello
world
Good bye...
If i understand right, all variables should be declared in PHP5. So why
is it possible to add a membervariable called c to the object without
making a declaration? I got no error with this. I thought E_STRICT
should show me things like that. Could someone explain me that?
I found this problem by building one dynamic get and set method for all
member variables with the help of the interceptor method __call() . In
this method i originally has build a try catch block that looks like this:
example_code
try {
$this-non_existent_member = FooBar;
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo The variable 'non_existent_member' is not declared!;
}
/example_code
I expected that the try block should catch the ERROR run the catch block
but this doesn't heppend and and took some time to figure that out. I
think it is really bad, that this kind of logical error must be catched
in some way or must be at least reported with E_STRICT on. I am only
develping with E_STRICT and thought this will give hints to all design
faults.
Kind regards
Johannes Findeisen
P.S.: I am going crazy ... This works too:
?php
class foobar {
public
$a,
$b;
var $bla;
public function __construct() {
$this-a = Hello ;
$this-b = world! ;

}

echo $this-a.br;
echo $this-b.br;
echo $this-c.br;
}
}
class failover {
public
$foobar;
public function __construct() {
$this-foobar = new foobar();
$this-foobar-d = ...all Aliens! ;
}
public function bar() {
echo $this-foobar-a.br;
echo $this-foobar-b.br;
echo $this-foobar-c.br;
echo $this-foobar-d.br;

[PHP] parsing values from a form post
Hello,
Here is an example of what could be posted from a form:
Array
(
[tax0] = GST
[amount0] = 10.23
[type0] = Goods
[tax1] = GST
[amount1] = 6.5
[type1] = Goods
[tax2] = HST
[amount2] = 3.54
[type2] = Goods
[tax3] = HST
[amount3] = 8.95
[type3] = Hotel
[tax4] = GST
[amount4] = 44.5
[type4] = Goods
)
I need to be able to break out the tax, amount and type that were
entered on each line of a form and then apply calculations and do
database inserts on each. As you can see what I need is in sets of
three denoted by the integer at the end (tax0, amount0, type0, tax1
etc.)
I can't figure out how to separate these variables and values so that I
can do what I need to do.
I've got
foreach($_POST as $var=$value) {
}
but can't seem to figure out what to do inside.
Ideas??

What you could do is rename the form field names. Instead of naming
the field 'tax0', you could name it 'tax[0]'. Once you do that you will
find your form infinitely easier to work with doing what you want to do.

[PHP] Still not working: PHP4 running on server, but not on dev box (SuSE 9.2)
Hi folks, Been through the suggestions offered here, have compared the config files on my development box and my server, and I'm still stuck. To recap, I set up SuSE 9.2 with Apache 2 and PHP 4.3.8 on a server and it's running fine. When I installed, I included Apache and PHP from the very start. Then I took an existing desktop 9.2 box, added Apache 2 and PHP 4 to it via YAST later. I can't get PHP to respond to function calls. Apache is serving up static pages fine, but it's not recognizing PHP. I've compared /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, default-server.conf, and php4.conf (in conf.d), and they're basically the same. (The two differences are that the document root is different on the two boxes, and I've got virtual hosts set up on the server. Neither should affect this problem.) I've done no manually editing or modifying, other that the two differences just mentioned. I don't know where to turn next to troubleshoot this; it seems like Apache on the dev box doesn't see PHP, but how to test? How to tell it?

You don't understand correctly. Class properties/attributes do not need
to be explicitly declared in PHP. This did *not* change in PHP5. What
changed in PHP5 is visibility. By default, unless declared otherwise, a
class attribute is publicly visible -- the same behaviour seen in PHP4.

So now that I have refreshed my brain on how to use sessions I have to make a decision, Where should I store my session data, in the session file or on my mysql database, Speed is my main drive here and I believe the file might be just a few microseconds faster, but what do you suggest I use? Files are faster, but you really only need to worry about those microseconds on high traffic sites or if your PHP is doing heavy lifting. Some things to think about: * Are you on a web cluster? If so, you'll want centralized session storage. Your options are a database or a distributed file system (NFS or openGFS, for instance) * Are you using a shared host? If so, it's possible for session collision and snooping to happen when using file based sessions.

I know want to separete it in to keys and values and insert them into an
array.
Note that /T always shows that teh upcoming value in() is a Key and that
/V
always is a Value. And that the set can be flipped.
Question #1:
What happens when your KEY or VALUE contains ##, /T, or /V
Depending on your answer to that, the best solution will change a bit.
In the short term:
$string = ## /T (KEY1)/V (VALUE1)|| ## /T (KEY2)/V (VALUE2)|| ## /V
(VALUE3)/T (KEY3)|| ;
$keyvalues = explode(##, $string);
$answer = array();
while (list(, $keyvalue) = each($keyvalues)){
$keyvalue = trim($keyvalue);
if (substr($keyvalue, 0, -2) != '||'){
die(Unexpected keyvalue: $keyvalue);
}
$keyvalue = substr($keyvalue, 0, -2);
preg_match(#/T(.*)(/V|$)#, $keyvalue, $key);
$key = $key[1];
preg_match(#/V(.*)(/T|$)#, $keyvalue, $value);

I can't figure out how to separate these variables and values so that I
can do what I need to do.
The other suggestion is a good one but if you want to do it with the
variables as you named them you can also use something like this:
for ($i = 0; $i $maxlines; $i++) {
$tax = $_POST['tax' . $i];
$amount = $_POST['amount' . $i];
$type = $_POST['type' . $i];
.
}
There is more one should usually do here, for security -- anything
coming in via _POST should be processed through functions designed to
remove malicious data. For example, an approach something like this:
$value = strip_tags((substr(trim($_POST[$fldname]), 0, MAX_LEN));

Re: [PHP] Re: using rand()
On Fri, April 8, 2005 7:41 am, kyriacos sakkas said: first I would suggest you get the largest value from the auto increment field (maybe use last_insert_id()). Then use rand(1,$cno_max) three times to get three random cno numbers, then select ... from ... where cno=$val1 or cno=$val2 or cno=$val3 should return the three values. rand() can also be directly in the sql statement. Also manual suggests using mt_rand instead of rand for better performance. Reasons NOT to do this: If you ever delete a record, then $val2 might not *BE* there. To get the max(id) requires an extra query. MySQL does *NOT* promise the numbers will be 1, 2, 3, 4, ... Sure, they happen to be that *NOW* and it's unlikely to change, but it's *NOT* a documented feature. What if $val1 and $val2 both happen to come out as 42 one day? Then you're not going to get 3 different records. ORDER BY rand() will always return 3 different records. It's unlikely that PHP's mt_rand() will be enough faster to justify using it when a single SQL statement is so much more clear than 5 lines of PHP. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It doesn't matter how you encrypt it. DO NOT STORE PASSWORDS ON USERS COMPUTER I hope that's clear enough. What you can do, and in fact I do for production sites is when the user logs on, you create an unique identifier and make a hash from it using your favorite encryption method. (sha1, md5, crc32). I like sha1. Save that hash in a temporary table and link it to the user's ID. Set an exipry date and extend that on each subsequencial request. Additionally you can save the IP number there as well. But that can lead to issues if they are connected trough a firewall, router, or proxy. Think of it as assigning a temporary password, only it is transparent to the user.
