I lack experience with windows, but my experience in linux tells me this *might* be related to the permissions the PHP or webserver has to access that remote drive? Ie. like the drives might be mapped just for your user? Not sure, but you might want to check this, permissions are common problems with using scandir...

Re: [PHP] inexplicable behaviour
If you want to increment $Count by one, you can use any one of the 3 following lines to do this: $Count = $Count + 1; $Count += 1; $Count++; The 3 lines are equivalent, but have varying degrees of elegance (suit yourself). However, make sure that your mysql function returned a number (and not an error message or whatever else). It's also possible the 'next' redirection isnt working because the value in $Count is invalid somehow? doesnt point to any page or something like that?

I have experimented with all sorts of configurations of the code but the only thing that works (and this is totally off the wall) is to do this $Count = mysql_num_rows($results); $Count1=$Count++; // without this, the next does not do the link--- but there is no other $Count1 in the code either in the original page or the include page.

RE: [PHP] CamelCase conversion to proper_c_style
My suggestion is to use the Find and Replace feature of your code editing software. Sorry to disagree with Mr. Hayes, however, if you do as he says and replace as you go you will be creating errors as these variables, functions, etc will most likely be CaSe SenSItiVe. Change one then you need to change all. As always, do not forget the first three rules of code writing; backup, backup, backup.

[PHP] Variable Scope with require_once
Hello, all.
I have a working app that runs in PHP 4.4.9 on the server. I develop
the app on my local environment, which runs PHP 5.2.6.
The setup is thus:
From my index, I have
require_once('config.php');
require_once('dbstuff.php');
config.php looks like this:
?php
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'someuser';
$db_password = 'somepassword';
$
...snipped...
?
dbstuff.php looks like this:
?php
if( !$dbh ) {
$dbh = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_password) or die('Could
not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
...snipped...
?
For some reason, the $db_host, $db_user, and so on defined in config.php
are not accessible from dbstuff.php on my development environment. I
wlll get
[timestamp] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Notice: Undefined variable:
db_host in somepath\db_stuff.php on line whatever
which causes
'Could not connect: some MySQL error message that is obtained when
attempting to login with a nonexistent user'
This works on the production environment (the one with PHP version
4.4.9). register_globals is Off in both environments.
What is going on, here?
Regards,
A. Wilson

A question I have about unit testing. The point is to test individual
units... correct? So, let's say I have this core class which creates
instances of other classes. Well, if I only want test the core class,
I don't want to instantiate the other classes... correct? Example:
?php
// Core.php
require ('Class1.php');
require ('Class2.php');
class Core {
public function __construct () {
$this-class1 = new Class1 ($this);
$this-class2 = new Class2 ($this);
}
}
// CoreTest.php
require ('../PHPUnit/Framework.php');
require ('../includes/Core.php');
class CoreTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
protected function setUp () {
$this-core = new Core();
}
}
?
So, here, Class1 and Class2 will be instantiated. However, I don't
really care for them to be so that I can test all the methods in the
core class. Is this a perfect example of how the original design of
the core class is not conducive to implementing unit tests? Without
rewriting the core class, is there a way to test this?
Thanks,
~Philip

I would settle for just 1 keyboard - the fr_CA, but I can't find any intelligible or functional ways to set it up.

It contains: 1.) Customer db 2.) quoting The quoting system replaces emails that are sent back and forth between you and your client, as managing emails really, really is not fun. (Client visits the website to interact with the quoting system) 3.) invoicing 4.) a full proposal system that links to the quoting features (it's like a glorified quoting system that looks pretty to the client.. so instead of seeing numbers, they see numbers and moch-ups/designs. 5.) Job clock that links to the invoicing system. (invoices know if a job has 'job clock' records. 6.) Budgeting system. 7.) Reports (for dreaded tax days) 8.) Client Payment system 9.) hmmm what else, emailing, searching all db's, etc. My sanity is already a sensitive issue when it comes to client billing etc.. and I'm pretty sure I'd be living in a padded room by now if I didn't have this app. ;-) hmmm... since this is the PHP forum, I have to say something that will steer this back to politically correctness... I'm sure you could build these features in PHP... just allow yourself a bit more time. ;-) To the O.P., I agree with someone who said; much of the time, client work will drive creativity and new projects (and keep you eating). However, I guess if you are starting out, it wouldn't hurt to zap something out that will show people what you can do. I would suggest that, whatever you do, maybe integrate some client-side stuff as well.. like Flash,CSS,or JS.

It's a dead project at this point, so someone is free to pick up where I left off as Lockdown is no more. Well, thanks for that; it seems like it's got a lot of features. A big one to examine would be looking at its integration with svn. But I like the triage assignment by default. It's a little disappointing though if you're selling it with the note of the code is crap ... :) I'll toss it over to my boss who is the one messing around with trac/redmine/etc and see what he has to say. I just didn't want someone to think this was the caliber of code I wrote! ;-) I cleaned up what I could, when I could, but we're not in the business of writing a CR tracker -- so it got a small percentage of my time. I am using Trac personally, but I'm not a fan of Trac's ticket system. Roach is way more powerful in that respect, but the overall Wiki/SVN/Ticket/Plugin integration outweighs the lacking Ticket system. Roach is the best ticket system I've ever used -- and I say that honestly. I'm stuck with FogBugz here at work and really don't like it. I hated Bugzilla. I've tried a few others as well and didn't like them either. For sure Roach isn't as polished or pretty or fancy-pants web 2.0 ajaxy. But it is solid. it works well and shows the info you want when/where you want it. It's fast. It's flexible. And IMHO it works the way developers work. Like I said, 6 years of daily use by 25 developers really helped to refine what mattered and what didn't. The hooks with SVN are also great. For example someone couldn't commit to SVN without the corresponding CR in Roach in the commit message. I thought I had the SVN pre-commit and post-commit hooks in the tarball, but apparently not. They were written in Ruby, so maybe not so useful to you anyways. I'm sure i have them somewhere if you really wanted them. d -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Here's a small (believe me) portion of the demo's I've written over the years: http://webbytedd.com/a.php These cover different languages, but it will give you the idea.

These don't sound like main features of a bug tracking app. APIs for bug insertion, deletion, reporting, etc. is not far off from a core product. Especially in web 2.0 land nowadays. We have multiple installations of bugzilla and other tracking mechanisms in and outside of the company feeding off each other, with no clean interfaces. Of course there are hundreds of generic bug tracking programs out there. Anyone with a PHP book can make one. We'd like to align with an industry standard type one, or one with an active community, but there is no real big one I am aware of other than Bugzilla (if not factoring in language) or Mantis (for PHP), or with SCM interaction Redmine and Trac. Trac won't work for us because we have multiple repositories/projects. We'd have to hack together some sort of solution to manage all of them from one, or install a bunch of instances, and then we'd have bugs in multiple systems to track. Each developer on our team handles code for at least one project, just FYI. Redmine may work, but we need more time to determine if we can hack our own auth layer on top of it. Even then I am not sure if it will meet our needs 100% or not. We have not evaluated it enough yet. Doesn't matter PHP or other. What is not available in any other product that would be awesome to have (wish list)? Most products are bloated. Part of my wish list would be that it is written in PHP, so our team can extend it without writing beginner insert language here code to try to customize the couple things we'd need to tweak (like the auth layer) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
