Hi Everyone,
I know it's not a php question... But I know alot of you use
rewrite rules and regular expressions and so I thought maybe you
would be able to help me.
The site: HTTP://purl.raoset.com/test112
test112 doesn't exist.. It's driven by the database using this
rewrite rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /p.php [L]
Now, on that site I have a few links... right now the likes are in
the format of:
HTTP://purl.raoset.com/design.php?purl=test112
What I would like is to have it read:
HTTP://purl.raoset.com/test112/design
completing the total look of the site :)
technically the same code as above should work even if you change
you're links.. you see it's just redirecting everything not found to
p.php
so in p.php simply add in a
print_r($_SERVER);
exit();
at the top, upload to server then visit /test112/design in you're
browser.. check the print_r output and you'll see the request in
there, (variables sometimes differ, hence why I'm suggesting you
check; you can skip this bit and jump right on to the next paragraph
though)
you can then simply:
$request_page_parts = explode('/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI');
print_r($request_page_parts);
then use whatever code you want to display the correct page based on
the uri requested (as you want)
I know this isn't the approach you expected but it basically hands
off all page selection and processing to php, rather than a load of
rewrite rules and lots of updating of .htaccess
if you really want the rewrite rules then I'm sure you've had many
other accurate replies with examples :)
Nathan,
You get any drink you want as long as you come to me! Once I looked at
it and read your e-mail it made total sense... I understand PHP
programming better than rewrite rules :)

cool; couple of little notes to help you on you're way..
first thing you'll want to do is explode/split on ? so that you have
any get params stripped off and stored seperately for good measure
next up it makes sense to check for and seperate file extensions, and
likewise trim off trailing /'s
also experiment with this, you can do some nifty things; the last time I
implemented it I had the following set up on my urls
domain.com/.wrapper/section/the_page_name.ext
in short, .wrapper was optional, and could be one of .ajax, .default,
.print (output template differed dependant on the wrapper specified)
section and page name are both self explanatory
.ext was again optional, in one implementation I completely ignored it,
meaning I could disguise the site as being all .html, or all .asp or
.jsp or whatever (just for the novelty and to throw hackers) - in
another implementation I used it wth extensions of .json .xml .php and
.html (much like twitter) which turned the site into a kind of api.
I would recommend trying the above and making a system like this at some
point, it's simpler than you think; but the benefits are immense, not
becuase of the things you can do.. but because of the way it makes you
program, it get's you to seperate the functional code from the
presentation and really think about things - you learn lessons that
never leave you :)

Re: [PHP] upgrade php 5.2.6 - 5.2.8 mysql problems!
Hi there, has somebody an idea how to fix this? I do appreciate any help. Thank you in advance, Merlin Merlin Morgenstern wrote: No. The with-pdo-mysql command secures compatibility with oder databases . That workes fine. The yes in the error msg. seams to be normal in this case. I found loads of such via google. e.g: http://www.rootforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=158t=35941start=0 All point to the fact that there needs to be mysql-dev installed. But why? I am already running 5.2.6. And mysql-dev does not come with suse 11. I doubt that this is the cause. Any other ideas?

Hmm... I like the idea of that... I'll play with that when I get
home... Unfortunately the boss doesn't pay me to write programs
anymore... Even though I've written stuff to make him money! :)
so if anyone knows of a junior to mid level programming job that pays
$50,000+ in the US let me know! :)

Terion: Install Firefox and the HTML Validator extension. It is a perfect tool
for you. It will clearly identify all the HTML errors and warnings, AND point
you to how to fix them. It uses Tidy, which classifies many errors as warnings.
However, you should fix them. Your page has 21 serious warnings many of which
are errors that will affect rendering. After you've fixed the warnings and
errors it finds, run the W3C HTML Validator.
Also, install the Firefox extension Validate CSS. Run it on your page. It has
8 bad errors.
These tools are great learning aids.
Incidentally, I'm not a fan of frames, often causes problems.

[PHP] iconv is messing up a spreadsheet generated by the Spreadsheet Excel Writer
Hi gang, I am generating a spreadsheet using the contents of a mysql table. I guess that there is something in the data that causes iconv used in the module's script to generate this error: *Notice*: iconv() [function.iconv file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/tgol/Local%20Settings/Temp/function.iconv]: Detected an incomplete multibyte character in input string in */usr/local/share/pear/Spreadsheet/Excel/Writer/Worksheet.php* on line *1547* This causes the production of weird characters in a cell in the spreadsheet and after that cell everything is printed out of order. The data in the mysql table are filtered for non-printable character before the data import. I have tried to filter the data before writing them into the sheet but this behavior persists.

Given the nature of the project, I realise security is a must. My question is: what recommended reading for security or ecommerce can any of you suggest? -- Thanks, Travis Moore tra...@live.com OR trabus2...@gmail.com Travis: I could write a treaties on ecommerce security problems and not cover everything.

You prepare the site to sell items and do what PayPal says needs to be done. That will work well enough for a successful operation. If you are thinking about collecting credit card information and processing transactions yourself, you had better have the business as a corporation to protect your personal assets (if you are in the USA), because things could get out of hand very quickly.

The data in the mysql table are filtered for non-printable character before the data import. I have tried to filter the data before writing them into the sheet but this behavior persists.

Does the Excel writer you use support utf or unicode? Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk Actually it does and AFAIK it changes everything into UTF-16LE. The Excel writer is the pecl module Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer. BTW do you have any suggestions for a better open source writer I could use? -- Thodoris Unfortunately I don't know of any other Excel writers, but I never really use that format anymore if I can help it. Would a CSV not work? Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk Well it does work but unfortunately both need to be supported. I should say that it actually is the pear module Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer and not pecl. I could probably try to debug the module itself but this is usually a very bad idea. I came to this point because I have stripped all non-printable characters, tabs, CRs and LFs before writing into the speadsheet but nothing seems to work. Is there any chance its characters creeping in from being copied from a M$ program? I found that M$ software uses it's own character encodings for multibyte characters which causes no end of problems for web-based systems.

[PHP] PHP unlink Permission Error
Hi,
I have a snippet of code as follows:
?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL);
$curDir = getcwd();
echo $curDir;
chmod($curDir,0777);
unlink(testFile.txt);
echo unlink(testFile.txt);
chmod ($curDir,0755);
?
The problem is that I do not seem to have the correct permissions, even though
I seem to have changed the permissions of the folder to 777 already upon the
file deletion time. This is the output I got:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\projectWarning: unlink(testFile.txt) [function.unlink]:
Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\project\file_write.php on line
9Warning: unlink(testFile.txt) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in
C:\Inetpub\wwwrootproject\file_write.php on line 10
Could anyone give me some tips on how to resolve this error? Thanks in advance.

You're using chmod to modify the permissions of the directory, but do
you actually have permissions to modify the permissions? If not, the
chmod will fail without giving an error, and then your unlink will fail
with an error.

Strictly from a performance stand point, not preference or anything else, is

for($i=0;$i3;$i++){
switch($i){
case 0:
header pg1 code
break;
case 1:
header pg2 code
break;
case 3:
header pg3 code
break;

};
or would that be better served using an if...elseif structure?
Frank
And a switch is a lot neater for dealing with these sorts of things. I
tend never to use if...elseif's at all, and use switches. Like Rob said,
you can fall into further cases below, and it's very simple to add more
at a later date. There is one place where an if...elseif would work and
a switch could not, and that is where you were performing lots of
different logic tests on different variables.
switch (true) {
case ($x === $y):
// something
break;
case ($a != $b):
// something
break;
case (myFunc()):
// something
break;
case ($my-getChild()-hasEatenBeans()):
// something
break;
}
evil ... but it works.

using chmod to modify the permissions of the directory, but do you actually
have permissions to modify the permissions? If not, the chmod will fail
without giving an error, and then your unlink will fail with an error.

Just because you have perms to change the dir and have set the dir to
777 doesn't mean you have perms to delete the file? Who is the owner of
the file and what are the perms?

RE: [PHP] PHP unlink Errors
Hi,
Apparently my safe mode is off. I tried fiddling with my code by changing the
permission of my intended to delete file as in the following:
?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL);
$curDir = getcwd();
chmod($curDir,0777);
echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms($curDir)), -4);
$fileToRemove = C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/project/testFile.txt;chmod ($fileToRemove,
0777) or die (permission canonot be set);
echo substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms($fileToRemove)), -4);
if (@unlink($fileToRemove) == true) {
unlink($fileToRemove);
} else {echo You don't have the permission;}
?
This is the output I get
07770666You don't have the permission
I don't get a failure statement in the line: chmod ($fileToRemove, 0777) or die
(permission canonot be set);, how come the permission of this file is still
0666?
Thanks in advance.

Re: [PHP] PHP unlink Permission Error
Alice, I see that you are using windows. For windows only the write permission for the folder and file isn't enough. You need to change the owner ship of the file as well so that u have privilege to delete. Do this , this might work: //Change the owner ship of the file to a non existent user in the system chown($directory./.$file,666); unlink($directory./.$file); Thanks, V

case 3:

or would that be better served using an if...elseif structure?
Frank
And a switch is a lot neater for dealing with these sorts of things. I
tend never to use if...elseif's at all, and use switches. Like Rob said,
you can fall into further cases below, and it's very simple to add more
at a later date. There is one place where an if...elseif would work and
a switch could not, and that is where you were performing lots of
different logic tests on different variables.
switch (true) {
case ($x === $y):
// something
break;
case ($a != $b):
// something
break;
case (myFunc()):
// something
break;
case ($my-getChild()-hasEatenBeans()):
// something
break;
}
evil ... but it works.
What is your intent if both $x === $y and $a != $b? From the above
example only the code for $x === y will execute. This is hideous from a
readability point of view since the first case and second case are
matches, but only the first will get executed. This is better
represented using an if/elseif/else structure to indicate the exclusion
of later expressions.

Hello all! I have written some code that will calculate all static and floating holidays. I have also written some code that will act as a business day counter. My application currently determines a set number of business days to count. (2 business days and 7 business days from today) This part works great and gives the results I want. What I need to do is tie in my pre dertermined static and floating holidays and factor those into the busniess day counter. I was thinking of putting the holidays into an array and then doing a check to determine if any date in the array equaled today's date through the ending date. But I'm drawing a blank on how to create the array. // Create an empty array $holidays = array(); But then how do I put each holiday value into the array as it is calculated? Can I assign it that way? Or should I calculate all of the values and then build the array at the end? Or should I not even use an array? Thanks, Dan

Hard to say without knowing the data structures... You can't do a simple count of the holidays and add that, because you might end up with yet another holiday in the result. Start at 12/23 and want to add 6 business days. You find 1 holiday in between, so you add 7 business days and end up on New Year's Day, a non-business day. 12/23 12/24 12/25 X 12/26 12/27 12/28 12/29 12/30 12/31 01/01 X I think MySQL has built-in holiday / work day calculations, come to think of it... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I'd put this into a function though so that I could return out upon a match. Not to only compare against today. I want to determine if any of the holiday dates are equal to or between dates in a date range. For example: I need to calculate 2 business days from today. Today is Wednesday December 23rd. December 24th and 25th are holidays. December 26th and 27th are the weekend. So 2 business days from December 23rd would be December 29th. So multiple holiday dates could fall into the range I am trying to get so I would think I'd need to loop through all of the holidays to catch all of the holidays that may fall within the range and add an additional day as needed to get the correct business day.

Exactly, ceo!
That's why I'm thinking of creating the array and then running a foreach()
loop on the array.
$day = date(w);
$today = date(m-d-Y);
if ($day == 4 || $day == 5) {
$two_day = mktime(0, 0, 0, date(m), date(d)+4, date(Y));
$two_day = date(m-d-Y, $two_day);
} else {
$two_day = mktime(0, 0, 0, date(m), date(d)+2, date(Y));
$two_day = date(m-d-Y, $two_day);
}
foreach ($holiday as $h) {
if ($h = $today $h = $two_day) {
$two_day = mktime(0, 0, 0, date(m, $two_day), date(d, $two_day)+1,
date(Y, $two_day));
$two_day = date(m-d-Y, $two_day);
}
}
That should add a day for each instance of a holiday that falls between the
dates, right?

you can fall into further cases below, and it's very simple to add more

evil ... but it works.
What is your intent if both $x === $y and $a != $b? From the above

no shit. that would be the intention too :-)
This is hideous from a
readability point of view since the first case and second case are
matches, but only the first will get executed. This is better
represented using an if/elseif/else structure to indicate the exclusion

This is a misuse of the switch statement. Switch is meant to compare
values to a single variable as stated on the manual page:
http://us2.php.net/switch
Thank you,
Micah Gersten
onShore Networks
Internal Developer
http://www.onshore.com
Actually, if you read the link you posted, the first paragraph: In many
occasions, you may want to compare the same variable (or expression)
with many different values, and execute a different piece of code
depending on which value it equals to. This is exactly what the switch
statement is for.
Notice the (or expression), which I believe true is one.
Also, down the page: The case expression may be any expression that
evaluates to a simple type, that is, integer or floating-point numbers
and strings. Arrays or objects cannot be used here unless they are
dereferenced to a simple type.
I believe boolean is also one.
I would point out however that the switch does a loose comparison, so
this would be different:
switch (true) {
case (strpos(shawn, s)):
//actually returns 0 so is false
break;
case (strpos(shawn, s) !== false):
//returns true
break;
}

Re: [PHP] switch vs elseif
I regret that I don't recall who made the brilliant observation that programmers spend the majority of their time *reading* code (their own or others) as opposed to *writing* code. So, I make it a point to try to make my code easily scannable. I only and always use the switch construct when evaluating the value of a single variable. The switch then tells me that at a glance when I'm reading code, and I don't have to plow through a bunch of elseif clauses to get the big picture of what the code is doing. The bottom line for me on this issue is the bottom line - productivity. Kirk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Neither of these are something I want. Because of that (and the occasional need to persist sessions on clustered web servers) I usually write my own session save handler.

Re: [PHP] upgrade php 5.2.6 - 5.2.8 mysql problems!

[PHP] PHP, Smarty, and Text
Hello, I've been using PHP and Smarty for several years now and I am happy with this division of data from presentation. With this philosophy in mind, i am a bit perplexed as to how to handle the text on my sites. That is, the text is data, so i am motivated to store the text in a database, files, or the like, but then text is loaded with little markup nuances (random italics/weight/colors, etc...) that make template design rather ugly. This motivates me to put markup (maybe even my own brand of markup) around the text, and to store this markup-text combination in a database. But I don't like this either, because a lot of the people writing the content/text know word/writer not markup. So i am motivated to have them save their text as .html, and I parse this file and modify accordingly. However, i don't like this either as not all word/writer styles are 1-to-1 with CSS. Without any options I am back to thinking hard code the text with markup in included templates, but it hurts just thinking of updating/modifying. I have looked (briefly) at Web Content Management Systems, but this seems like overkill really, maybe i'm ignorant. What would the community suggest? The text can take on many forms, introduction text, about text, product information, articles, blurbs, (some changes daily, some doesn't) etc...where does all this text live in 'properly' designed site. Thanks in advance, dK
Re: [PHP] Suggestions?
I have a fiscal calendar table that I use for the same thing, storing
the date, day of the week and a column indicating whether the day is a
weekday, a weekend or a holiday. This allows me flexibility to also
use the table to set business shutdowns as a holiday.
A simple date query can return the number of holidays/weekends to do
the business day calculation.

You can't do a simple count of the holidays and add that, because
you might
end up with yet another holiday in the result.
Start at 12/23 and want to add 6 business days.
You find 1 holiday in between, so you add 7 business days and end
up on New
Year's Day, a non-business day.
12/23
12/24
12/25 X
12/26

I think MySQL has built-in holiday / work day calculations, come to
think
of it...
Exactly, ceo!
That's why I'm thinking of creating the array and then running a
foreach()
loop on the array.
$day = date(w);
$today = date(m-d-Y);
if ($day == 4 || $day == 5) {
$two_day = mktime(0, 0, 0, date(m), date(d)+4, date(Y));
$two_day = date(m-d-Y, $two_day);
} else {
$two_day = mktime(0, 0, 0, date(m), date(d)+2, date(Y));
$two_day = date(m-d-Y, $two_day);
}
foreach ($holiday as $h) {
if ($h = $today $h = $two_day) {
$two_day = mktime(0, 0, 0, date(m, $two_day), date(d,
$two_day)+1,
date(Y, $two_day));
$two_day = date(m-d-Y, $two_day);
}
}
That should add a day for each instance of a holiday that falls
between the
dates, right?
