RE: [PHP] Any alternative to POST method FTP uploads from client computer?
On Sun, May 8, 2005 9:22 pm, Murray @ PlanetThoughtful said: As others have suggested, using an ftp client application is one way to handle it, however, users being users, the feedback has been Why do we need to upload the files via an ftp client, *then* go to the web application and attach the filename to a job entry? Why can't we do it all at once? Some alternatives to consider: If you can get them to name their files in some consistent manner, perhaps you could determine the job entry from their filenames. So they upload a file names 'job4732.zip' and they are done. Your PHP script checks their FTP space for the file, examines the filename, and knows what job entry to tie it to. Another possibility is that the content within the file may somehow indicate what job the file belongs with. You may even be able to check *both* their filename and the contents, and have the program cross-check for consistency, and only auto-process the ones that pass both tests. If the filenames would be too long perhaps you could have them use some kind of pre-built directory structure on their desktop where they drop their files into the right job entry Then you have a .bat file that runs through the directories and compares date/time stamps and uploads new files. There are a lot of possible solutionns, really, but it depends on the work flow and actual data what's best Certainly if you can make life easier for them *AND* maintain, or even improve, accuracy of the data upload and data entry, it's worth some development time.

Conflict of filename isn't my issue -- it's whether or not the file should be uploaded at all, in the first place. The difficulty being that you can't examine the file until *after* it has been uploaded. As others have suggested, using an ftp client application is one way to handle it, however, users being users, the feedback has been Why do we need to upload the files via an ftp client, *then* go to the web application and attach the filename to a job entry?

The answer being, Well, you can, but I bet you're going to be even more annoyed when you've uploaded a huge file via the web application using the POST upload method, only to find that the file is already there. Serves you right for having too many stakeholders in uploading the files, dunnit? Here is one thing you can try. Create a button that (using javascript) passes the name of the file to another script -- which then scans your files directory to see if the file exists already. If it does, it submits an alert or some other indication. You will have to standardize on the file time. I would suggest that you only use the file's meta-data on the server so that users can check when the file was last updated on the server, not on their boxes. Some other information (like last uploaded by) would also be helpful from a user's standpoint.

Sorry - forgot to CC to list. Personally I have a feeling that if you take out the :3306, your script might just work.

I knew the above, but how do i use it with my date field when i have
birthdates like this:
01-01-1969

Just like you would in the example above -- only with dates that are
compliant with your RDBMS, and using the earliest date first. The
formats you give -- 'MM-DD-' won't work in most RDBMS'; typically
you go from most general to most specific, e.g. '-MM-DD'. So, using
the dates you gave:
SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `age` BETWEEN '1955-03-05' AND
'1969-01-01';
The date fields may be subject to the UNIX epoch; if so, neither of the
dates above will be valid (epoch started 1970-01-01). Check the manual
for your RDBMS to see if this is the case.
Now, based on the OP's original question, about finding all users
between an age range, one would need to determine the start date and end
date prior to passing in the SQL. This can easily be done with
strtotime():
$ages = explode(',', $_GET['ages'], 2); // get the start/end ages
$startDate = date(Y-m-d, strtotime(-$ages[0] years));
$endDate = date(Y-m-d, strtotime(-$ages[1] years));
$sql = SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `age` BETWEEN $startDate AND
$endDate;
Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] Sending htm as it's being generated
Bottom line is that you can't do it reliably with PHP or anything on
the server. Different browsers will display content at different times.
I think Internet Explorer will only display something after it gets a
certain amount of information (i.e. 18k) or the entire page. I don't
think any browser displays content if it is between tags. Like an
open table or something.
As others have mentioned, look into using the AJAX technology and
javascript to reliably update your page.

Re: [PHP] need manual reload on Mac client
I would first look to the browser configuration and your html code. Are you using meta tags in your web page like pragma nocache and page expiration? If not, then it's really kind of up to the browser if it's going to reload the entire page from the server. I know there have been issues with Internet Explorer ignoring even the meta tags and http directives (maybe only on the Mac). If it is a server issue, it is most likely the Web Performance Cache piece of OS X server. I would turn that off if you are not dealing with mainly static content. But, I would first make sure you have all the proper html and http directives and code. There is a lot of leeway in how browsers act when left to there own decisions.

[PHP] Accessible HTML - OT
Hiya! I have just come back from the client visit and one of the issues that arose was over the use of accessible markup, more specifically the use of tables versus the use of layers. Now, my long held belief was that div/layers were added to the spec so that designers could separate presentation markup from content - that is, use positioned layers for laying out content, use tables for tables of data as they were originally intended. However, my client seemed adamant that it was the other way around and that the use of tables was preferred owing to browser compatibility issues.

Now, I have just had a look around w3 and have found some inferences that support my view but nothing that states clearly in either direction. Does anyone on this list have a definitive answer for this one? You have it correct, theoretically, regarding accessibility. Tables should be used for tabular data, divs for presentation and layout. However, many people confuse accessibility with consistency; they want a look-and-feel that works the same no matter what the browser. (Why they feel this is accessibility is anybody's guess, but I've seen it a number of times). In this latter arena, on a practical level, tables are typically your best bet. I've done a lot of tableless and table-based layouts, and the unfortunate fact of the matter is it's a lot easier to create a layout that is consistent cross-browser and cross-platform using tables. Until IE supports the CSS2 'display: table-*' elements (which is the easiest way of creating columns of the same height), this will continue to be the case. Now, this does not mean you should create a bunch of nested tables for the layout. I find that a simple skeleton made of a table with a few columns can create the basic page layout, and then I use as much CSS as I can within (unordered lists for navigation menus, floats to position image/caption pairs, etc.). This combines some of the best of both worlds, and creates a fairly accessible page at the same time. As in all things, it's a matter of balance. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | WEBSITES: Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association| http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://vermontbotanical.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Any alternative to POST method FTP uploads from client computer?
Hi All, I need to implement the ability to ftp upload files from client machines via a form in a web application I'm developing. From reading the PHP help, all I can find to perform this is the POST method for handling file uploads (http://au2.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php). From my perspective, while this seems to work, there are a couple of drawbacks, most important of which is that it seems you can only do comparisons of the uploaded file, against the potential that the file has already been uploaded, once the file has already been uploaded and is sitting in the server temp directory. This is a drawback to our application because the files can typically vary on a daily basis in size from 20mb thru to 400mb, and 400mb seems like a lot of bandwidth to consume to discover that the file already exists on our server. Hmm, sounds like you just want to send something like a hash first Like the SHA1 of the file. So would need ActiveX/Java obect to perform the SHA1 of the file client side first. Send that, if it hasn't been seen then send the whole file. As for other methods... You could try WebDAV and the PUT method. There is a PHP implementation of a WebDAV server in PEAR. Its not form based, but would make it somewhat more easier to upload than using FTP atleast. I believe WinXP can attach directly to them, or use Novells' NetDrive to map a drive letter to the WebDAV server.

[PHP] A couple questions about templating
Hey fellas, sorry to infest the list with another question about a
templating engine, but I am looking for some professional opinions
here...
I am trying to make a small, fast, and simple templating class... Now
I have mastered the art of variable replacement, and have made two
versions. The first one I made simply used file() to load up the file
into an array, str_replace() to replace variables, then it printed it
back. I made a second one, which reads the file into an array,
changes the variables the same way, but instead compiles the finished
product into a compile directory and then reads the compiled file back
to the page. the benefit to this being that I can easily create a
simple cache system now.
1st question) I need a professionaly opinion on to which solution is
better, considering speed, security, and expandability.
2nd question) Like I said before, I've mastered the art of variable
replacement, but how would one go about adding support for if {}
statements as well as loops. I'm a little bit lost when it comes to
this.

For the most part you can simply treat them as strings.

(Why they feel this is accessibility is anybody's guess, but I've seen it a number of times). In this latter arena, on a practical level, tables are typically your best bet. I've done a lot of tableless and table-based layouts, and the unfortunate fact of the matter is it's a lot easier to create a layout that is consistent cross-browser and cross-platform using tables. Until IE supports the CSS2 'display: table-*' elements (which is the easiest way of creating columns of the same height), this will continue to be the case. Now, this does not mean you should create a bunch of nested tables for the layout. I find that a simple skeleton made of a table with a few columns can create the basic page layout, and then I use as much CSS as I can within (unordered lists for navigation menus, floats to position image/caption pairs, etc.). This combines some of the best of both worlds, and creates a fairly accessible page at the same time.

Re: [PHP] Re: [PHP-DEV] make new return a reference to existent object
I think Leonardo might have a point here. Built-in support for
Singletons could be a nice feature, without the use of static
functions, would be nice. I wouldn't use the 'new' keyword however. I
think something along the lines of existing, or ref
$ref = existing TEST; // which would return an existing instance of
TEST, if one exists, and a new one if it doesn't. ( pretty much like
the singleton code, except no need for singleton code)
I don't think it's anything important, and there are more pressing
matters, to be worked on, I'm sure, but if someone created the code,
and it was secure / bug-free / compliant-with-coding-standards / etc,
I can't see why it couldn't(or shouldn't) be included. When all's said
and done though, it's still just syntactic sugar. It all depends on
how sweet the devs consider it.

Re: [PHP] Accessible HTML - OT
I was under the belief that tables are very bad for accessibility. I once attended a conference on accessibility and standards and witnessed a blind person attempting to read a website that had it's information laid out in a table with a screen reader. It was awful and shamed me into never using tables in my web design again (where possible of course). Check out Joe Clarkes website: http://joeclark.org. Joe is an expert in web accessibility issues.

consider regex, and preg_replace().

1st question) I need a professionaly opinion on to which solution is

Depends on how it's implemented. When you 'compile' the script into
native php, you are having a highly optimised parser do the variabe
insertion. Your main problem here would be register_globals, so you
need to ensure that you initialise any variables used.
2nd question) Like I said before, I've mastered the art of variable
replacement, but how would one go about adding support for if {}
statements as well as loops. I'm a little bit lost when it comes to
this.
You could use a full featured tokeniser/parser(and you'd probably IIRC
find one in Pear), but it may perhaps be simpler, to simply use preg
to replace something like {foreach:var:list}, or whatever your
perfered syntax.

eval() will parse your PHP code. I use that with filemtime() for my

The problem is that, I have no problem replacing the keyword with the
proper php syntax for a loop or whatever, the problem is that it just
shows up as a string when all is said and done.
If you want to see the code I have right now, here it is (below). I'm
thinking I'm going to have to combine the load() and run() methods,
and then make assign() create an array of stuff that must be assigned,
then do pretty much all the work in the combined method or load() and
run(). That probably sounded pretty confusing, I hope you understand

This has all been done before, and in a number of ways. If you really
*must* build your own templating class, go and thoroughly review the
code of those that already exist: Smarty, Savant, paTemplate,
FastTemplate, etc. Figure out how each solved the problems. Then
determine if you can improve upon their solutions.

Re: [PHP] Re: Accessible HTML - OT
* Mary-Anne Nayler [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Nested tables are the absolute worst thing you can do! I agree -- which, if you read my post, you'll see I didn't advocate nested tables -- just a single table for columnar layout of the page. Within each column, items are floated or positioned using CSS. A screen reader is able to tab to a table and tab within a table but once you begin to have tables within tables, UGH! I use text-based browsers regularly, and, while tables can be rendered fine in many of them, nested tables get very ugly, very fast -- especially if the terminal you use is limited to 80 characters.

All you coders out there know how hard it is to code nested tables and how confusing it gets right? Imagine trying to reverse engineer this jumbled mess with nothing but audio to go on! Absolutely. This is the argument I use when trying to convince others to use a standards-compliant design. But often the customer (or your boss) will ditch this kind of accessibility for some simple cross-platform cross-browser consistency (not realizing that the cosmetic tweaks used to do this mean that even though the site looks good on a Mac, a Windows machine, and some linux browsers, it reads like a complete foreign language in audio browsers or text-based browsers). In the end, on a practical level, I often am not *allowed* to make a tableless design due to the wishes of my boss or client.
