My original question is about the difference between the processing of a file-based site with include() OR eval(). In that case, if I understood it correctly, the results are the same. But! If the included pages contain functions, classes, etc. With eval(), can I use them? With include(), I know I should be able to use them. But in some mysterious cases I don't have access to a function. If I cut out from the included file, and put in on the file which includes that, just before (or after) the includ(), I don't have any problem with it. The next step, that if I include a file in a function, can I use the functions wrote in the included file? As I know, include just makes a copy-paste, so if I use it IN a function, then all function will be in function scope, am I right? Yes, if you use an include inside a function, then any functions / non global vars in the included file will only be available inside the including function. This is NOT, I repeat, NOT true for functions. Functions are ALWAYS global. Cheers, Rob. Yes, I was too hasty. The nested function will only be defined once the nesting function has been called. Then it will be available globally. Actually, you're wrong again. The nested function, AKA function defined in the included source, will be defined as soon as the source is included and is available to the function in which the source was included. In fact it is even available to the code within the included source that can be run during the include process and before the function performing the inclusion regains control. Cheers, Rob. Well I used the word defined, however what I meant was the included function would only be available globally after the including function has been called. But yes, it will be available to the including function. Actually, which would mean that the including function had been called if it was attempting to use any of the vars/functions in the included file :-) You need to work on your use of verb tenses :) Cheers, Rob. What? I didn't know you flamed people whose native language wasn't English! How can we get a break on this list? I speak Texan (sorta), and apologize for my poor English. :-( I wasn't flaming, I was providing insight into why your wording was confusing. If I had been flaming I would have used sarcasm or derogatory phrasing to demean your words.

[PHP] PHP 5.2.9 - 5.2.9-1 and curl
Hi all, I'm using PHP 5.2.9 on a Windows dedicated server. Could you kindly confirm me that I have to update to PHP 5.2.9-1 (http://www.php.net/archive/2009.php#id2009-03-10-1) only if I have curl extension enabled (extension=php_curl.dll in php.ini) ? If I run a phpinfo() on my webserver, no curl section is shown (no extension=php_curl.dll in php.ini). So, is my configuration (Windows 2003 Server - PHP 5.2.9) safe?

[PHP] FW: built-in objects APC or serializatio n
... nobody a clue? ...
Hi everybody,
I am a Certified Zend Engineer with almost 10 years of PHP development
experience but for some reason I've never asked question to this ML.
As subject says, I would like to know if there a generic extension/3rd
parts/solution to save the state of a built-in PHP object.
I perfectly know that __sleep and __wakeup or ... implements
Serializable { ... } could allow me to store and retrieve serialized
data but what I did not expect is that APC just behaves as serialize
and nothing more than that.
Here there is a quick explanation:
$xsltp = new XSLTProcessor;
$xsltp-importStylesheet(
DomDocument::load('random.xsl')
);
// no way to store the variable here with its live state
// without re-importing stylesheet on __wakeup or unserialize
echo$xsltp-transformToXML(
DomDocument::load('random.xml')
);
I agree that this built-in stuff could be consider a weird case but I
cannot believe that with all these new classes there is no solution to
truly hibernate instances state.
As summary, I wonder if any of you knows a solution or, if any, when (and if)
are you planning to add this feature.
Best Regards

On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 7:51 PM, Patrick Moloney webpa...@gmail.com wrote: OK, I think I've got the problem. I had to go back further than where the problem appeared to be. The 1st error was the comment code on the div line before the menu is Included. It had the -- in the comment. Oddly, it interacts with the same error in the comment in the mainmenu file. I saw some suggestion that these work in pairs but fail in odd numbers. So, I have many pages that work like this. Adding another bad comment to the mainmenu, causes it to fail (3 bad lines). Or, without a third line, fixing the only bad line in the mainmenu also fails! Now, correcting the bad line in the web page fixes that -- (whoops) - but causes all the other similar web site pages to start failing. I'll have to fix them all, but at least I know the problem. No wonder nobody comments code! mainmenu.php !-- Comment on the First Line -- !-- Comment on the -- Second Line -- Functional Menu code ... webpage.php ... Body div id=menu !-- Include the -- menu here -- ?php include 'mainmenu.php'; ? /div ... I do use PHP comments (probably not as much as I should), but I don't usually use HTML comments. This is partly (largely?) because HTML comments get passed on to the client which wastes (albeit usually a small amount of) extra space and bandwidth for each request, and they give out implementation details to people who least need to know them. I can sort of see adding the HTML comments when designing a full page template so it is easier to determine where dynamic content needs to be inserted when you start slicing the template apart, but even then I usually remove those comments later in the design process before I put the code out for production. Then again, I haven't included files for anything other than function/class libraries in years either.

As a result the working directory of the page will be the root directory of the site. I have always worked on this assumption, and it has always been correct. On the other hand Stewart thinks that I cannot rely this, and am likely to get into trouble as a result. Are there any systems in which my assumption will not be correct? In many frameworks this assumption is not correct. I am using the default CakePHP layout as an example. Depending on your terminology, your DocumentRoot is /var/www/ and in this case is also the filesystem path of your site's root dir, however the sites root dir in a URL is /. Consider the CakePHP structure: /var/www/ .htaccess index.php /var/www/webroot index.php If you browse to http://example.com/ (in most cases), one of 2 things happens: 1. The webserver opens the /var/www/.htaccess and according to the rewrite rules there it rewrites to /var/www/webroot/. So any getcwd() would be /var/www/webroot/ 2. If not using modrewrite, the web server looks for index.html and then index.php in /var/www/ which has a require for webroot/index.php. So any getcwd() would be /var/www/. Consequently, CakePHP and the other frameworks that I've seen use basename() and dirname() in conjunction with __FILE__ to define the paths/relative dirs within the app. Come to think of it, this may very well be true for all MVC frameworks (unless the models, views, and controllers are all in the same directory as the launch script). I can at least vouch for the fact that CodeIgniter, like CakePHP, will fudge your directory estimation if you're expecting getcwd() to be right. Something Stewart said the other day made me realise that there was a fundamental error in the way I was thinking about this question. I had been thinking that opendir (.) opened the root directory, and that paths such as Joe/Nurg.com were relative to the root directory, but I now realise that they are relative to the current directory, whatever that might be. (Yes; I should have known better, but there is an awful swamp of burnt out brain cells at the bottom of my brain.) So the question I should have asked was When a web page is loaded, can I rely on the CWD being the directory containing index.php (or whichever file is actually loaded)? I believe the answer was No, not really, from several different people. -- // Todd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

$currmonth = date(m);

$m[$i] = date(m/d/y), mktime(0,0,0,$currmonth-$i, 1, 2009));
}
Something like that. mktime() is remarkably flexible. If you start on
month 3 and you subtract 5, you get month = -2. So that would be
-2/1/2009, which mktime will translate to 11/1/2008.
This is totally off the top of my head, but you get the idea. Works with
days and years too. Sometimes it's useful when going backwards and not
sure how many days the previous month had (without doing another call to
find out).

Re: [PHP] Dynamic Date List Newbie Problem

Hi folks,
My goal was to create a dynamic date related list as follows:
- take the current date (3/12/2009)
- create a new date from it which would be the *1st* of that month -
(3/1/2009)
- then create a list that shows the current and previous 11 months like:
03/1/09
02/1/09
01/1/09
12/1/08
11/1/08 etc...
--- so I did this (not fancy but was working)
$nowts = strtotime(date(m)./1/.date(y));

$m12 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*330))./1/.date('y',$nowts-(86400*330));
PROBLEM: all was fine for the last few months but several days back the 1st
few months were wrong - like this...
03/1/09
02/1/09
12/1/08 * wrong
12/1/08
11/1/08 etc...
* I think the math went wrong because FEB had 28 days - not 30 (not sure why
just 1 month JANUARY was wrong...)
I temporarily fixed it with less than 30 day jumps like:
$m01 = date('m',$nowts-(0))./1/.date('y',$nowts-(0));
$m02 = date('m',$nowts-(86400*28))./1/.date('y',$nowts-(86400*28));

Cool @ hosting4days . com
[db-lists 09]
Unless you are in a timezone that does not observe DST, you can't use
a constant 86400 as the number of seconds in a day. You could try
something like this:
?php
$date = strtotime('-' . (date('d') - 1) . ' days');
for ($i = -11; $i = 0; ++$i) {
$list[] = date('m/d/Y', strtotime($i months, $date));
}
var_dump($list);

However, later in your code you do $file2 = fopen($copydir . /play.txt, w+); which assigns a file pointer resource to $file2, which overwrites what you previously assigned.

[PHP] password field validation
Hi All,
I have an input field with type=password.
I am trying to do some error checking to see if the user puts a value
in after they submit the form (i.e not left it blank)
Here is what I have:
on form:
Password: input id=PASSWORD name=PASSWORD type=password
size=15
In PHP error checking:
if (empty($_POST[PASSSWORD]))
{ $GERROR=TRUE;}
even though I am putting characters in the field before I submit I am
always getting TRUE returned.
This same tactic works for other fields I have that I need to make
sure they put values in, just I have never done this before with a
password field.
What am I doing wrong? I just want to make sure they put something
there!

Could it be that your $_POST[PASSSWORD] has three Ss in it and your
form field name=PASSWORD only has 2?

If that's a direct copy/paste from your actual code, there is an extra

Here is working code to do it better:
// get your starting date
$darray = getdate();
$month = $darray['mon'];
$year = $darray['year'];
// create your months
$dt = array();
for ($i = $month; $i = 1; $i--) {
$dt[] = date('m/d/y', mktime(0, 0, 0, $i, 1, $year));
}
$year--;
for ($i = 12; $i $month; $i--) {
$dt[] = date('m/d/y', mktime(0, 0, 0, $i, 1, $year));
}
// print the dates, just as a check
for ($i = 0; $i count($dt); $i++) {
print $dt[$i] . br\n;
}
This gives you a decending array from the current 1st of the month to
twelve months prior. The $dt array has mm/dd/yy date strings in it.
Change as needed.

If that's a direct copy/paste from your actual code, there is an extra
S in PASSWORD. Also, you should enclose the array key in quotes:
if (empty($_POST['PASSWORD']))
{ $GERROR='TRUE'; }
Andrew
try if trim() gives you any different result:
if (empty(trim($_POST['PASSWORD'])))
{ $GERROR='TRUE'; }
definitely gives a different result.
$ php -r '
$r = ; var_dump(empty(trim($r)));'
PHP Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in Command
line code on line 2
you can only pass variables to empty() *not* expressions.

If you don't enclose them in quotes, PHP first looks for a constant
with that name. Thus, it the constant PASSWORD was defined as 'some
silly string', your code would evaluate to $_POST['some silly string']
instead of the string 'PASSWORD' that you probably intended it to use.
That, and it generates an E_NOTICE. On a production server, these are
usually hidden from public view, but it is still good practice to
avoid them.

Something like that. mktime() is remarkably flexible. If you start on
month 3 and you subtract 5, you get month = -2. So that would be
-2/1/2009, which mktime will translate to 11/1/2008.
This is totally off the top of my head, but you get the idea. Works with
days and years too. Sometimes it's useful when going backwards and not
sure how many days the previous month had (without doing another call to
find out).

This gives you a decending array from the current 1st of the month to

Change as needed.

[PHP] htmlentities is incomplete: does not cover rsquo etc
The string function htmlentities seems to have very incomplete coverage of the HTML entities listed in the HTML 4 spec. For example, it does not know about rsquo, lsquo, rdquo, ldquo, etc. This is confirmed by looking at the output of get_html_translation_table, which does not list these entities. My impression is that it covers those HTML entities that are in ISO-8859-1, but not the others. Is this deliberate? If so, the Manual is misleading because it suggests that all HTML entities are covered. Otherwise, is this a bug?

To refine my problem (and reduce my ignorance),here's what is happening
on the form page:
There is a series of INSERTs. The first inserts all the columns of
book table except for the id, which I do not specify as it if
auto-insert.
In subsequent tables I have to reference the book.id (for transitional
tables like book_author(refers authors to book) etc.
If I understand it correctly, I must retrieve (SELECT
LAST_INSERT_ID()) after the first INSERT and before the following
insert; and save the id as a string ($id)...e.g. $sql = SELECT
LAST_INSERT_ID() AS $id
I need clarification on the AS $id - should this be simply id(does
this have to be turned into a value into $id or does $id contain the
value? And how do I retrieve it to use the returned value for the next
$sql = INSERT ... - in other words, is the id or $id available for the
next directive or do I have to do something like $id = id?
I'm trying to figure this out with some trials but my insert does not
work from a php file - but it works from command-line... that's another
post.
Here's how I mostly do it (albeit simplified):
$query = INSERT INTO `sometable`(`title`,`content`)
VALUES('$title','$content');
$result = mysql_query($query);
$autoId = mysql_insert_id($result);
$query = INSERT INTO `another_table`(`link_id`,`value`)
VALUES($autoId,'$value');
$result = mysql_query($query);
No need to call another query to retrieve the last inserted id, as it is
tied to the last query executed within this session.

For some reason or other $autoId = mysql_insert_id($result); just does
not work for me... Yet some of the data is inserted correctly...
I did find that it does not work on tables that are empty... so you
can't start with an empty table. I entered data it still did not work.
I tried on another duplicate database... doesn't work.
I have checked double checked the database, I have added checks to see
what is returned and the returns are 0 or null - as I get different
responses for slightly different functions.

here's what is parsed:
else { $sql1 = INSERT INTO book
( title, sub_title, descr, comment, bk_cover,
copyright, ISBN, language, sellers )
VALUES
('$titleIN', '$sub_titleIN', '$descrIN',
'$commentIN', '$bk_coverIN', '$copyrightIN',
'$ISBNIN', '$languageIN', '$sellersIN');
$result1 = mysql_query($sql1, $db);
$autoid = mysql_insert_id($result1);
$sql2 = INSERT INTO author (first_name, last_name) VALUES
('$first_nameIN', '$last_nameIN');
$result2 = mysql_query($sql2, $db);
$authorID = mysql_insert_id($result2);
$sql2a = INSERT INTO book_author (authID, bookID, ordinal)
VALUES ( '$authorID', '$autoid', '1');
$result2a = mysql_query($sql2a, $db);
$sql2b = INSERT INTO author (first_name, last_name) VALUES
('$first_name2IN', '$last_name2IN');
$result2b = mysql_query($sql2b, $db);
$author2ID = mysql_insert_id($result2b);
$sql2c = INSERT INTO book_author (authID, bookID, ordinal)
VALUES ( '$author2ID', '$autoid', '2');
$result2c = mysql_query($sql2c, $db);
$sql3 = INSERT INTO publishers (publisher) VALUES
('$publisherIN');
$result3 = mysql_query($sql3, $db);
$publisherID = mysql_insert_id($result3);
$sql3a = INSERT INTO book_publisher (bookID, publishers_id)
VALUES ( '$autoid', '$publisherID' );
$result3a = mysql_query($sql3a, $db);
foreach($_POST['categoriesIN'] as $category){
$sql4 = INSERT INTO book_categories (book_id, categories_id)
VALUES ($autoid, $category);
$result4 = mysql_query($sql4,$db);
}
echo $autoid; // shows: blank
echo $authorID; // shows: blank
echo $author2ID; // shows: blank
echo $publisherID; // shows: blank

For templating ideas ...
Would bytecode caches (APC) be able to work properly with this:
function print_something($args, $output = 'html') {
switch($output) {
'iphone':
print_something_iphone($args);
break;
default:
print_something_html($args);
break;
}
}
or something like this:
function print_something($args, $output = 'html') {
if(function_exists('print_something_'.$output)) {
call_user_func('print_something_'.$output);
}
}

Actually, I do think it is somewhat internals related.
I want to know from the internals/experts angle if this is a good
function to be relying on, or if it is one of those things like the
@ operator which I've been told is expensive and to me is one of
those things to stay away from.
Now if this breaks opcode caches like APC, I will have to find another way.
Also - I write procedural, not OOP. So that won't help here.
Would creating functions such as
output_foo_html()
output_foo_rss()
output_foo_json()
Then depending on the output, using something like this? Would this be
breaking opcode caches as well then?
if(function_exists('output_foo_'.$format)) {
call_user_func('output_foo_'.$format);
} else {
output_foo_html();
}

I thought we covered a question just like this a week ago... yes this
will not pose a problem for a bytecode cache.
Cheers,
Rob.

The only thing that should defeat the usefulness of a bytecode cache is the use of eval since the cache has no reference point upon which to determine if the eval'd code has been previously compiled and has changed since.
