Can you tell me what might be the cause of loosing the namespace on 
importing the node? Bearing in mind that the childnode itself (being the

Hi Jeffery,
you need to upload the File with the Form inputfield
form action=input_file.htm method=post enctype=multipart/form-data
input name=Datei type=file size=50 maxlength=10 
accept=text/*
When the upload is ready, use is_uploaded_file() function to check and 
others to validate the File (important) then move the file with move_ 
uploaded_ file() to the Directory where you want or attach to the mail 
you want.


Kind Regards

 Help

Mike,

Certain characters are considered special in RegEx. The $ means end
of the line, so it must be escaped to avoid confusing its meaning. I
was not sure it had to be escaped within a character set [], but that
may very well be the case. Try this:

$regex = '/function\s+[-_a-z0-9]+\s*\((\s*\$?[-_a-z0-9]+\s*,?)*\s*\)/i';

The word function is followed by 1 or more spaces (or tabs). The
function name [-_a-z0-9] can be a combination of alpha-numeric
characters, underscore, and dash. Then, there is optional whitespace
between the name of the function and its parameters. The opening
parenthesis ( for parameters has been escaped (as has the closing
parenthesis). Then, in a repeatable capture group, the parameters can be
grabbed: Indefinite whitespace, an optional $ (because maybe you're not
using a variable, eh?), one or more alpha-numeric, underscore, or dash
characters, followed by indefinite whitespace and an optional comma (if
there are more arguments). After any number of instances of the capture
group, the regex continues by looking for indefinite whitespace followed
by the closing parenthesis for the function text. The i switch at the
end simply means that this regex pattern will be treated as
case-insensitive ('APPLE' == 'apple').

If you're not worried about actually splitting up the function
parameters into capture groups, then you can just use a look-ahead to
ensure that you grab everything up till the LAST parenthesis on the
line.

$regex = '/function\s+[-_a-z0-9]+\s*\(.*?\)(?=.*\)[^)]*)/i';

That one probably needs to be tweaked a bit in order to actually grab
the last parenthesis (instead of just checking for its existence). If
you're willing to trust the text you'll be searching through, you can
probably avoid that last parenthesis rule altogether, and make a lazy
regex:

$regex = '/function\s+[-_a-z0-9]+\s*\(.*?/i';

Once you get to the opening parenthesis for the function parameters,
that last regex assumes that the rest of the line will also include that
function declaration, and just grabs everything left. If you are using a
regex setup to where the dot marker can also consume newline or carriage
return characters, just throw a $ at the end of the regex (before the
flags part /i) in order to tell it just to grab characters until it
reaches the end of the line:

$regex = '/function\s+[-_a-z0-9]+\s*\(.*?$/i';

These are all untested, but hopefully I've given you a nudge in the
right direction. If you are still getting strange behavior out of your
PCRE engine, then perhaps you have a different version installed than
what I'm used to--all of the above should work (perhaps with some very
minor changes) in PHP.

HTH,


// Todd

The PHP site's page on ini_set() [1] talks a bit about how to set that
particular option in an .htaccess file:

set PHP_INI_PERDIR settings in a .htaccess file with 'php_flag'
like this:

php_flag register_globals off

If you can get at your .htaccess, maybe you could do it that way (since
I don't believe you can change magic_quotes_gpc using ini_set() or
similar methods).

Re: [PHP] fread question

2008-12-18 Thread ceo

PHP does *not* do the addslashes on $_POST when you cram something into it in 
your PHP code.



It does it during the process of auto-filling up $_POST.



So either:

A) you have magic_quotes_runtime turned on LOCALLY. Use phpinfo() to see.

B) you actually managed to put the backslashes into your text file.



PS

You really shouldn't be cramming data into $_POST, imho.

Too confusing for later development/maintenance.

$_POST should be read only

Copy the parts of $_POST you want into something else, and add in your file 
contents as well.

You are using preg_quote(). This will add slashes to every special RegEx 
character in your pattern (i.e., parentheses and dollar signs, etc.). Try 
performing your RegEx search without using preg_quote() and let me know if it 
does any better. Also--try to keep your replies on the PHP List, as the

You've tried JOCR/GOCR, and they don't do very well.



Here are your options:

1) Shell out the money for that PaperPort OMNI or whatever it is commercial OCR 
product. It *is* better than JOCR/GOCR, in my experience.

2) Roll your own with GD. With sufficient skill and time, you can utilize very 
specific knowledge of your content to do even better than the generalized 
commercial solution. I have done this myself for standardized medical documents 
that were scanned in, getting a percentage point or two better than 1)



No matter what you do, OCR will never ever get you 100%.  You WILL need a human 
oversight process on the results that hand-checks everything, or be prepared to 
accept a (small) failure rate.



Set your [client's] expectations properly, or be doomed to frustration

I had always thought that faxes were a big no-no for character
recognition software? I know that we can't use it for one of our OCR
solutions because it is just too... well, crappy. The image quality is
nowhere near what it should be for a successful OCR pass.

As for client expectations: hell yes--tell them not to use a fax machine
in the digital age. Scan the document and e-mail it or something. Where
I work, we've done away with 90% of any fax machine usage in order to
have documents that can be used by our OCR solution.

RE: [PHP] Read/decode barcodes from an image

2008-12-18 Thread ceo

Certainly if the quality of the input can be improved by using some digital 
transfer that is not a fax, go for it...



I assumed the OP already knew that, but perhaps not.



The fax is going to cost you a LOT of accuracy, probably too much to make OCR 
even viable, really, but it depends on the faxes involved.  If it's always the 
same two fax machines, and they are both set at image quality and have good 
feeders, you *might* get halfway decent quality out of them.



If you're talking random faxes from random people, then forget about OCR. Not 
gonna work.

 Subject: [PHP] Regex Problem

 Hello,
 I have  a quirky behavior I'm trying to resolve.
 I have a REGEX that will find a function definition in a php file:
 .function InsertQuery($table,$fields,$values).
 the REGEX is:
 $regex='/function [a-z]* *([$a-zA-Z]*)/';
 the problem is that:
 1. a slash is automattically put in front of the $. This is good but I
 dont
 know how it gets there.
 2.a slash is NOT put in front of the parenthesis. Thats bad
 3. If I try to escape the parenthesis with a \ , I get \\.
 Help

Mike,

Certain characters are considered special in RegEx. The $ means end
of the line, so it must be escaped to avoid confusing its meaning. I
was not sure it had to be escaped within a character set [], but that
may very well be the case. Try this:

$regex = '/function\s+[-_a-z0-9]+\s*\((\s*\$?[-_a-z0-9]+\s*,?)*\s*\)/i';

The word function is followed by 1 or more spaces (or tabs). The
function name [-_a-z0-9] can be a combination of alpha-numeric
characters, underscore, and dash. Then, there is optional whitespace
between the name of the function and its parameters. The opening
parenthesis ( for parameters has been escaped (as has the closing
parenthesis). Then, in a repeatable capture group, the parameters can be
grabbed: Indefinite whitespace, an optional $ (because maybe you're not
using a variable, eh?), one or more alpha-numeric, underscore, or dash
characters, followed by indefinite whitespace and an optional comma (if
there are more arguments). After any number of instances of the capture
group, the regex continues by looking for indefinite whitespace followed
by the closing parenthesis for the function text. The i switch at the
end simply means that this regex pattern will be treated as
case-insensitive ('APPLE' == 'apple').

If you're not worried about actually splitting up the function
parameters into capture groups, then you can just use a look-ahead to
ensure that you grab everything up till the LAST parenthesis on the
line.

$regex = '/function\s+[-_a-z0-9]+\s*\(.*?\)(?=.*\)[^)]*)/i';

That one probably needs to be tweaked a bit in order to actually grab
the last parenthesis (instead of just checking for its existence). If
you're willing to trust the text you'll be searching through, you can
probably avoid that last parenthesis rule altogether, and make a lazy
regex:

$regex = '/function\s+[-_a-z0-9]+\s*\(.*?/i';

Once you get to the opening parenthesis for the function parameters,
that last regex assumes that the rest of the line will also include that
function declaration, and just grabs everything left. If you are using a
regex setup to where the dot marker can also consume newline or carriage
return characters, just throw a $ at the end of the regex (before the
flags part /i) in order to tell it just to grab characters until it
reaches the end of the line:

$regex = '/function\s+[-_a-z0-9]+\s*\(.*?$/i';

These are all untested, but hopefully I've given you a nudge in the
right direction. If you are still getting strange behavior out of your
PCRE engine, then perhaps you have a different version installed than
what I'm used to--all of the above should work (perhaps with some very
minor changes) in PHP.

I assume by task manager you mean task scheduler? The Task Manager
is more of a process listing, like ps or top in Linux.

In the Windows command-line interface (cmd.exe), type start /? to give
you an idea of what your options are. As far as in the background
goes, Vista's task scheduler can hide the programs it executes from
being viewed by the user. Pre-vista, I think you can just minimize it
(unless it's run on a different account on the same machine other than
the one logged in)...

start /min /b php myscript.php

The /b option MIGHT prevent pre-Vista machines from showing the user
that a task is being executed. If it doesn't, then at least /min will
keep the window minimized rather than slapping them in the face with it.

[PHP] Variable Scope problem passing function parameters

2008-12-18 Thread Jim McIntyre

I'm having problems getting the data that'spassed into my class's send() 
method to the instance of the PHPMailer.


Basically, I have this:

class EmailAMF {
  public function send ($from, $to, $subject, $body) {
require('class.phpmailer.php');

$phpMail = new PHPMailer();
$phpMail-From = $from;
$phpMail-AddAddress($this-to);
$phpMail-Subject = $subject;
$phpMail-Body = $body;
return $phpMail-Send();

  }
}

As far as I can tell, it sends an essentially blank email to nobody (but 
returns true.


If I replace any of my function variables with strings, like this:

   $phpMail-AddAddress('m...@example.com');

the email actually gets that data.

What am I missing?

Apparently, neither do the other variable names. If I replace that with

How do I reference the arguments passed to the function when setting

start /min /b php myscript.php

The /b option MIGHT prevent pre-Vista machines from showing the user
that a task is being executed. If it doesn't, then at least /min will
keep the window minimized rather than slapping them in the face with it.

[PHP] utf8 php howto?

2008-12-18 Thread Daniel Kolbo

Hello,

I have a text file encoded in utf-8.
i am using fopen/fgets/echo etc..

how do i display these utf8 characters from the file on the web?

I have tried different combinations of
header(Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1);
header(Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8)
and
utf8_decode/utf8_encode functions

I can't seem to get the characters from the file to display as 
non-giberish on the web.


if i set the charset=utf8, and type the unique characters in directly to 
my document (hard coded) and save the document as utf8, then the 
characters display properly on the web.


examples:
1) save file as utf-8, web produces correct characters
?php
header(Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8);
?
HTMLBODY
[type special characters here using russian keyboard layout]
/BODY/HTML

2) save file as ASCI, web produces [giberish]
?php
header(Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1);
?
HTMLBODY
?php
echo utf8_decode(fgets($handle));
?
/BODY/HTML

3) save file as utf-8, web produces [giberish]
?php
header(Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8);
?
HTMLBODY
?php
echo fgets($handle));
?
/BODY/HTML

Thanks for your help,
dK

found a solution:

save the .php file as ASCII
?php
header(Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8);
?
HTMLBODY
?php
$line_buff = fgets($handle));
echo echo mb_convert_encoding($line_buff, 'HTML-ENTITIES','UTF-8');
?
/BODY/HTML

thanks,

[PHP] SimpleXML - issue with getting data out of the object returned

2008-12-18 Thread Dan Joseph
Hi,

I have a basic XML document that I am grabbing with simplexml_load_string(),
here is the print_r:

SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[Package] = SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[PackageID] = 804
[PackageName] = Silver
[BandwidthGB] = 20
[WebStorageMB] = 5120
[DBStorageMB] = 250
[POPMailBoxes] = 50
[WebStorageUnits] = 5
[BandwidthUnits] = 1
[DBStorageUnits] = 1
[POPUnits] = 5
[DomainHeaders] = 50
[DBType] = MSSQL
[OSType] = Windows
[Enabled] = True
)

[Count] = 1
)

When I try and access $x-Package-PackageID I don't get 804, I get:

SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] = 804
)

Could someone tell me how I just get the value 804 out of there?

Had that problem before:
$val = (string) $x-Package-PackageID;
or
$val = (int) $x-Package-PackageID;

or whatever type you want. ;)

Ha... I would have never figured that out...  Thank you to you both!  That
did the trick.

Just did a quick search:
http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=197
looking at other services, they have parameters so you could probably do 
this with php.exe

pretty cool idea...hmm...what can i do with this.
note: start-run:services.msc will open your services manager
