I have an array like this and I simply need to recurse over it and find
a matching menu item to remove:
array(3) {
[dart]=
array(10) {
[0]=
object(menuItem)#4 (9) {
[menu]=
string(7) My DART
[name]=
string(7) My DART
[title]=
string(39) Data Analasys Reliability Tracker
[employee_only]=
bool(false)
[page]=
NULL
[children]=
NULL
[parent]=
NULL
[current]=
bool(false)
[array_key]=
string(4) dart
}
[1]=
object(menuItem)#5 (9) {
[menu]=
string(5) Login
[name]=
string(5) Login
[title]=
string(5) Login
[employee_only]=
bool(false)
[page]=
string(9) login.php
[children]=
NULL
[parent]=
NULL
[current]=
bool(false)
[array_key]=
string(4) dart
}
[2]=
object(menuItem)#6 (9) {
[menu]=
string(13) Lost Password
[name]=
string(13) Lost Password
[title]=
string(13) Lost Password

[page]=
string(12) forgotpw.php
[children]=
NULL
[parent]=
NULL
[current]=
bool(false)
[array_key]=
string(4) dart
}
...
I'm trying to remove [menu] == 'Login' from the array, but despite finding
the element, it never removes.
isn't that what the reference stuff is for?
menuItem::removeMenuItems($navArray['dart'], array('Login', 'Lost Password'));
public static final function removeMenuItems($menuItems, $removeArray)
{
foreach($menuItems as $value)
{
if (is_array($value-children))
menuItem::removeMenuItems($value-children,
$removeArray);
else
{
//echo *** CHECKING .$value-menu. against
.implode(',',$removeArray). ***;
if (in_array($value-menu, $removeArray))
{
//echo *** REMOVING .$value-menu.
***;
unset($value);
}
}
}
}

Yes, but foreach can't modify an array unless you use a reference in the
foreach also. Try this:
foreach($menuItems as $value)
menuItem::removeMenuItems($navArray['dart'], array('Login', 'Lost Password'));
public static final function removeMenuItems($menuItems, $removeArray)
{
foreach($menuItems as $value)
{
if (is_array($value-children))
menuItem::removeMenuItems($value-children,
$removeArray);
else
{
//echo *** CHECKING .$value-menu. against
.implode(',',$removeArray). ***;
if (in_array($value-menu, $removeArray))
{
//echo *** REMOVING .$value-menu.
***;

Not necessarily - there are compilers for php, just like there are compilers for perl, though they are not needed. They can speed up the serving of pages and reduce resource consumption on the server. It is also good practice to completely assemble the page before sending a single line (including headers) to the browser rather than send some data while still executing the script, in which case the script execution time could be likened to a compile time. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

So does that mean if I go back in time and shoot my grandfather, then nobody is in the woods to hear PHP try to compile? There's a blurring of the lines these days with respect to compiled and interpreted languages. At one time an interpreted language was truly interpreted line-by-line as the code was running. But now, most interpreted languages perform a compilation stage whereby the source code is converted to bytecode or some internal representation of an engine specific instruction tree. This internal representation is what eAccelerator and APC caches use to speed up performance... specifically they eliminate the compilation stage.

So does that mean if I go back in time and shoot my grandfather, then nobody is in the woods to hear PHP try to compile? The compile process parses the text of the source file and translates it into an alternate form. This can by byte code, ala Pascal and Java, or executable code, ala COBOL and C. An interpreter, on the other hand, simply parses the source file, line by line and executes each line as it reads it, usually without saving it in an alternate form. This is the way JavaScript works. Some languages, such as Perl, are somewhere between the two. Perl parses the whole file, then executes only if it did not find any syntax errors or undefined variables (if certain strictures are turned on). Otherwise it prints out only the error message. From what I have seen of PHP, it is strictly interpreted. i.e. a line is read, and executed. Then the next line is read, and executed. etc. So there is no way to get it to block execution from the beginning even when there are fatal errors. It will already have printed out as much of the page as it executed before it finds those errors. This works fine in a development or test environment, but is a serious problem in production. So, I believe the question that was actually asked, is there any way to induce PHP to completely parse the source file(s) and report any errors before printing out anything, even the HTTP headers? Or can I set it to redirect to an error page instead of sending an incomplete target page with error messages that might reveal information I don't want exposed?

Cc: PJ; PHP General list Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: catch the error In examples sent to you, people foolishly replaced your $db var with $db_connect ONLY FOR PART OF THE SCRIPT. You've defined your database connection as $db_connect in some versions of the source, but then you reference $db (without _connect) in your mysql_select call in that same source. $db = mysql_connect([option list here]); # -- this code instantiates a connection mysql_select_db([some name], $db); # notice how $db is here? $result = mysql_query([some query], $db); # it's here, too! $db becomes your resource link when you use mysql_connect. That resource link must then be passed to your mysql functions. Otherwise, they have no idea which database connection you are attempting to use. RTFM? If no connection is specified, the last one is used. It is an optional argument (only *really* needed when you have multiple connections in the same script). RTF E-mail I sent? He had used $db_connect instead of $db. $db_connect hadn't been set to anything. He was specifying a connection, but it was null. Unless it falls back to the last connection used in the case of an empty variable, then this was most likely (read: proven to be) the problem. The last two emails I saw (no I haven't read the whole thread) were: $db = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass); mysql_select_db($db_name,$db); snip $result1 = mysql_query($sql1,$db); and $db = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass); mysql_select_db($db_name,$db); which have the right variables. Plus I was picking on the you must do this - using the link identifier is an optional thing as I already said. Yes, it was solved before I replied. I just wanted to point out why it worked in the situations that it did and why it did not work in the situations that it did not. As the OP had been staring at it for too long, all of the code started to blur together. :) Anyway, it's a moot point now. I think the information you provided about the link identifier was solid advice... I was just trying to point out that using two different variables when specifying the link identifier in mysql functions was what gave him so much guff. // Todd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You don't unset the value, you unset the key.

print_r($items);
foreach ($items as $_menuKey = $value) {

[1] = menu2
[2] = menu3
)
After:
Array
(
[0] = menu1
[2] = menu3

I would have gone with array_splice() on this one, I think. However, I
believe it will mangle associative arrays. Glad to know that there's a
way to use unset() on these, as I was unaware of it.

Well, take care of all of your logic before you display anything. It's not that difficult, to be honest... especially if you're already using an MVC design pattern/framework or a template system. If you are just worried about displaying garbage and not about performing logic while the page is being output to the browser, then I'd say use an output buffer. If something bad happens, just clear the buffer out rather than send it to the user, and forward to your error page instead. http://www.php.net/ob_start HTH, // Todd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Browser timeout
Hello, I am running a script that process the user's request, which usually takes about 40 seconds. The problem is that on Internet Explorer 6, it timeouts - probably because no response was sent. How do I solve this problem? Since I tried some things and header() messages, nothing worked.

Hans Schultz wrote:
Is there in PHP something like use strict from perl? I find it pretty
annoying to need to run script over and over again just to find out that I
made typo in variable name.
I find that my IDE catches most of the typos before I even try to run the page.
I use Netbeans 6.5 with the PHP extension, but there are alternatives...
Is there some way for PHP to cache some data on the page? I like very much
PHP's speed but it would be even better to be able to cache some frequently
used data from database?
Generally it's not worth the trouble, but you could cache in the session...
Remember that PHP is largely stateless, so one page call knows nothing of any
other page calls. This is different to Java, where you can hold state in the
underlying virtual machine and recover it later...
Also regarding databases, I liked a lot java's way of sending data to
database
using parameters (select * from user where username = ? and then passing
parameter separately with database doing necessary escaping and
everything).
Is there something like PHPDBC similar to JDBC?
With PostgreSQL (and probably MySQL too) you can do either a prepared statement
(see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-prepare.php) and then execute
that, or a simpler parameterised query (see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-query-params.php)
Something like
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM user WHERE username=$1';
$params = Array('pete');
$result = pg_query_params($sql,$params);
That way you get the safest handling of values without any tedious messing about
with manually escaping strings.
I suspect that under the hood it actually prepares a statement and then executes
it, but I might be wrong...

Perl parses the whole file, then executes only if it did not find any syntax errors or undefined variables (if certain strictures are turned on). Otherwise it prints out only the error message. From what I have seen of PHP, it is strictly interpreted. i.e. a line is read, and executed. Then the next line is read, and executed. etc. So there is no way to get it to block execution from the beginning even when there are fatal errors. It will already have printed out as much of the page as it executed before it finds those errors. This works fine in a development or test environment, but is a serious problem in production. So, I believe the question that was actually asked, is there any way to induce PHP to completely parse the source file(s) and report any errors before printing out anything, even the HTTP headers? Or can I set it to redirect to an error page instead of sending an incomplete target page with error messages that might reveal information I don't want exposed? No, PHP is not strictly interpreted. You are confusing run-time includes with strict interpretation. PHP parses a source file completely before executing the code. The problem is when you make use of require() or include(). In these cases the parsing is defered until such time as the logic warrants inclusion of the source code. This is advantageous since compilation need not be performed for source code not being used by a page. However, as you have duly noted, you cannot detect parse errors before any content is sent to the browser for such included source (unless you use output buffering). However, there is a simple command-line facility to check the parsability of your source code before releasing it for public consumption: php -l source.php Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thanks, this is the most useful answer I got. I will try to use that IDE

better (to allow parameters).

I find that my IDE catches most of the typos before I even try to run

I use Netbeans 6.5 with the PHP extension, but there are alternatives...
Is there some way for PHP to cache some data on the page? I like very
much
PHP's speed but it would be even better to be able to cache some
frequently
used data from database?
Generally it's not worth the trouble, but you could cache in the
session...
Remember that PHP is largely stateless, so one page call knows nothing
of any
other page calls. This is different to Java, where you can hold state in
the
underlying virtual machine and recover it later...
Also regarding databases, I liked a lot java's way of sending data to
database
using parameters (select * from user where username = ? and then
passing
parameter separately with database doing necessary escaping and
everything).
Is there something like PHPDBC similar to JDBC?
With PostgreSQL (and probably MySQL too) you can do either a prepared
statement
(see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-prepare.php) and then
execute
that, or a simpler parameterised query (see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-query-params.php)
Something like
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM user WHERE username=$1';
$params = Array('pete');
$result = pg_query_params($sql,$params);
That way you get the safest handling of values without any tedious
messing about
with manually escaping strings.
I suspect that under the hood it actually prepares a statement and then
executes
it, but I might be wrong...

[PHP] Getting An Inventory Product Count
Newbie question Hi folks, Currently, I have an inventory table that stores individual records for each single item in inventory - ( each item is on its own line because it has serial numbers associated with it) like: fields: Item - ModelID - sn item1 - 1 - sn xxx item1 - 1 - sn xxx item2 - 2 - sn xxx item2 - 2 - sn xxx item2 - 2 - sn xxx item3 - 2 - sn xxx Goal: I would like to give a report page with total counts for current in inventory like: COUNTS... item1 = 2 item2 = 3 item3 = 1 so I created a fool around query that gets a count for just ModelID = 1 $query_count_model1 = SELECT count(inventory_id) as thecount FROM inventory WHERE ModelID = 1; BUT: - the I'm sure there is some better way to get a count for *each* of the ModelID that exist in any given time *all at once* in some kind of loop or xxx???...

Hello All: I'm trying to see how Web Edition databases are being used in your company for PHP-driven web-apps. Our strategy team thought that free and community editions would be dominant, but we interviewed Zend Framework developers using Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and it looks like--surprise--that each vendors' market share is about the same as in the broad commercial market. We think this means that you--the PHP developer community--aren't actually using the lightweight Web/Express Edition for your corporate web-app deployment, and instead are building out on the licenses for databases your company is already running. Is the Express/Community/Web Edition important for you at work? Is it a critical sandboxing step for you? Do you run it live for internal applications?

[PHP] Best error handling
Hi. I have a kind of webserver that certain applications communicate with. The problem is that the script (named peer.php) must output data as xml. Thats ok (thanks to XMLWriter). The problem is that when some error occurs (those note catchable by set_error_handler) I have no control on data being outputed. I would like to output xml even on fatal errors (in that case, telling that something gone wrong). I tried using register_shutdown_function but it is crashing (as the nature of fatal errors that make the envirionment unstable). Any idea? Thanks! -- Davi R. Tavares

not a nice answer but make sure you're application has no fatal errors -
a fatal error halts the compiler as it's fatal, thus there is no way to
implement anything else afterwards or turn it in to an exception or
suchlike.
further, for live servers you really should have display errors set to
off in you're php.ini - at which point nothing will be returned
try: (not tested or particularly thought about)
1: move all the code from peer.php in to an include file
2: make you're main peer.php file contain only
?php
try {
require_once 'include_file.php';
} catch($e) {
echo 'some xml error';
}
?
can't promise that'll work though, to test quickly just add all that to
a php file and run it (as you don't have the required file so a fatal
will get raised)

The method for catch all errors using a shutdown function appears to work,
but it crashes when using my php stream mock implementation (that I use to
simulate calls to the script).
Thanks anyway Nathan!
PS. Is there some plan to make PHP full exception-ready, dropping the usual
way of return values?

Hi. I have a kind of webserver that certain applications communicate with.
The problem is that the script (named peer.php) must output data as xml.
Thats ok (thanks to XMLWriter). The problem is that when some error occurs
(those note catchable by set_error_handler) I have no control on data
being
outputed.
I would like to output xml even on fatal errors (in that case, telling
that
something gone wrong). I tried using register_shutdown_function but it is
crashing (as the nature of fatal errors that make the envirionment
unstable).
Any idea?
Thanks!
not a nice answer but make sure you're application has no fatal errors - a
fatal error halts the compiler as it's fatal, thus there is no way to
implement anything else afterwards or turn it in to an exception or
suchlike.
further, for live servers you really should have display errors set to off
in you're php.ini - at which point nothing will be returned
try: (not tested or particularly thought about)
1: move all the code from peer.php in to an include file
2: make you're main peer.php file contain only
?php
try {
require_once 'include_file.php';
} catch($e) {
echo 'some xml error';
}
?
can't promise that'll work though, to test quickly just add all that to a
php file and run it (as you don't have the required file so a fatal will get
raised)
regards and good luck - nathan
ps: may check this one out myself, sure I've done it years ago when i still

[PHP] Help with a potential bug
Can someone help me find the smallest block of code that is making Apache SEGV? Actually the code is about 30 lines and actually depends with Doctrine (which I think it is not causing the crash as well, but it is combined with something else). I also make use of user defined stream wrappers. These combined cause PHP crash Apache when it is freeing resources (the last called function was stream_close, when I removed that method from my user-defined stream, it doesn't crashes anymore). The code makes use of register_shutdown_function to try to detect an E_ERROR (or other fatal error) and them output gracefully to the user. Removing Doctrine (that is actually just initialized) or my user-defined stream, there is no crash. PHP 5.2.6 (also tested with PHP 5.2.8) Apache 2.2 I am beginner on finding bugs on PHP, this one is really boring me because it makes an important part of my software not work. I have the backtrace and a ready to debug environment (PHP 5.2.6 and Apache 2.2) with GDB. -- Davi R. Tavares

Limited, but free. (reduced functionality or limited number of connections compared to the commercial versions of the products) I've not heard of Web Edition, but I have heard of both SQL Server and Oracle Express. I haven't used them, but I guess the idea I have in mind is of products that are supposed to be just good enough to use in either embedded apps or else to entice developers into wanting the full version for server apps. I use SQLExpress (SQL Server Express) all the time at work for prototyping and such... although, I have to say--if my company hadn't installed it on my machine to begin with, and they weren't running SQL Server 2005 on the production servers, I would rather just use a private MySQL installation for prototyping and then push to a MySQL production server. Alas... // Todd For me it's MySQL all the way. My company is too cheap to pay for later versions of MS SQL Server, so the versions we have there are *very* limited in features (for example, no limit function!) MySQL also seems a lot faster for me too. I regularly deal with large databases (think millions of records) and MSSQL is a real bottleneck here, whereas MySQL seems fine (althogh, it is running on Linux, which frees up more resources for actually getting stuff done!) Oh, funny thing. I filled in the questionnaire above, and when it got to the final 'thanks' page, I clicked the button, and it bombed out to a completely blank page. Doesn't bode too well for a company attempting to sell a product for use in enterprise situations! Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk It all depends on what you need. I know from your previous posts that you're not very well disposed to SQL Server, but I've used it quite a bit now for the last 8 years and haven't really had any problems with performance. I'll grant that it doesn't have the LIMIT clause (Is it part of the actual ANSI SQL spec, or is it something handy that MySQL added to their product?) The newer versions offer a row number function that can be used to provide the the same functionality, but I'll admit it is not nearly as simple as being able to say LIMIT 25, 50. While I like MySQL, it has its oddities as well. I've run into situations where I had to add ORDER BY clauses to UPDATE statements (I'm not sure that's really valid SQL either) because it updated the rows sequentially and validated a unique index after each row rather than after all the rows were processed. I wish it would support CHECK constraints. And as convenient as I've found the SET and ENUM datatypes in simple databases, I'm coming to the notion that they are not a good idea in most situations. And while the availability of different engines has benefits, it can also cause issues. Andrew -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
