This might seem silly but here's what I'm trying to do
Suppose I have some kind of check variable - say for example
$abort_now. Or it could be a function. Something to be evaluated to a
value.
I want to execute a block of statements, but after EACH statement
executes, check the value of $abort_now and if it is true, break; out
of the block.
Here's an example
do {
do_something();
do_something_else();
do_another_thing();
do_yet_another_thing();
and_keep_doing_things();
} while ($abort_now != 1);
What I want to happen is for each statement to execute, and keep
looping around, until the $abort_now variable is set to 1. Now,
suppose any one of the statements in that block may cause $abort_now
to become 1. If that happens, I want the block to stop executing
immediately and not continue executing further statements.
For example, do_another_thing() causes $abort_now to equal 1. I do not
want do_yet_another_thing or keep doing things to execute. I want the
loop to stop right there.
The only way I can think of doing it is to insert a check after each
statement:
do {
do_something();
if ($abort_now == 1) { break; }
do_something_else();
if ($abort_now == 1) { break; }
do_another_thing();
if ($abort_now == 1) { break; }
do_yet_another_thing();
if ($abort_now == 1) { break; }
and_keep_doing_things();
if ($abort_now == 1) { break; }
} while (TRUE);
This might work for 2 or 3 statements but imagine a block of say 15
statements. Having a check after each one would look ugly, and cause
trouble if the condition needed to be changed or if I instead decided
to check it, say, against a function.
So is this possible to do with built in code? or am I stuck with
having to put a check after each statement in?
thanks

Well, since the functions can set $abort_now, why can't they just abort?
Or throw an exception?
try {
do {
do_something();
do_something_else();
do_another_thing();
do_yet_another_thing();
and_keep_doing_things();
} while (true);
} catch (Exception $e) {
//do something or nothing
}
Then in your functions instead of setting $abort_now, do:
throw new Exception('Abort! Abort! Abort!');

[PHP] my first order job on manages jobs
Hi List, This is the first job chain I am creating using manages job chains. I am trying to create 2 order jobs, 1 order and one jobchain. First I created an orderjob and named it and tried to edit it. A new window displayed with the properties of that order job. I choose executable file from job type and saved the job. Then I clicked on param1 and wrote the code sh -c echo hello world and clicked on store button. The job summary explorer came. The jobs saved are in RED color and X mark is indicating. I thought that this is throwing an error and checked the log files. I couldn't see any error in the logs. I am following the OSJS Sample - Job Chain Setup in Job Scheduler.mht file. I observed some differences in the screen shots of this demo file and my current view. 1. Why it is showing the red color after submit of the order jobs, job chain and order too. 2. In the Orderjob edit window, I couldn't see the Active YES/NO radio buttons, Scheduler ID box and at the end of the page there are only 2 buttons Store and Cancel, but I couldn't see the store and submit button. 3. After creating the order job then we need to choose the job scheduler from the list where we need to submit the job order. How to get this small window with schedulers list. 4. When I edit the job chain there are only 2 buttons not 4. Missing buttons are store and submit and store and remove orders. Please advice. 5. Here also I found that the job chain and order are in red color with x mark on it. Please advice me to get rid of all these errors and get success in executing this sample program.

OK, Ok, I feel stupid enough already. I'm not sure I want to get in that deep... it's tough enough with the simple stuff... so, talk to me about the OOP interface or the PDO... :-\ The first step on the road to enlightenment is to learn how to learn without asking for help. 1) RTFM 2) Try it - set up a sandbox where you can play with code and make mistakes without consequences 3) Google/Bing it (yeah, Bing's never gonna catch on like that!) 4) Try it again 5) If you're still having problems ask here and include evidence that you've put some effort into steps 1-4 This list should be your last port of call when you can't figure something out. Now I have to disagree that the OO variants of the MySQL API are any better than the plain old mysql_* functions. In particular I have found PDO to be significantly slower. Yes you have to take care of escaping values in SQL statements yourself, but having to be consciously aware of security issues is never a bad thing unless you're lazy about it. As Jay says you cannot assume that any code that calls external services is going to work. You need to check return values, catch exceptions and do everything else you can to handle unexpected events. I've found that 99.99% of the time MySQL is perfectly reliable, but in the 0.01% you may unexpectedly lose the connection for any number of reasons. If you don't handle it then you could end up losing data but happily telling your users it was stored successfully. In general this is known as defensive programming. Never assume anything, handle every eventuality you can think of including the this will never happen cases, and always make sure you have a catch-all for stuff you can't think of. Learn to do this early and you'll have a much better time of it. Now I have to go and find June - I'm sure I lost a few days in there somewhere. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I would really like to have the cleanup code run anytime a user leaves the page without hitting the Save button. Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks Mary I assume you looked at register_shutdown_function() and session_set_save_handler() One way I handled this problem is to save the data in cleanup files. Then when the page is called by a new client, a function checks the file's time stamp, say if it's more than 10 minutes earlier, does the cleanup process.

I think you *could* do something like this:
?php
$functions = array('do_something', 'do_something_else',
'do_another_thing', 'do_yet_another_thing', 'and_keep_doing_things');
foreach ($functions as $function) {
$function();
if ($abort_now == 1) break;
}
?
The catch is that in this case all the functions would have to accept
the same parameters.

[PHP] Problems with unit tests
I am using test-harness.php (PHP TAP Test Harness 1_0_0_BETA) and test-more.php to write some unit tests for several libraries of functions. These tests need to run from a MS-Windows CLI so they can be run on our desktops for now and can be added to the automated build process later. I have written my first tests using test-more.php to generate TAP compliant results, and they work as expected (see below - yes, both tests should fail). But when I run them with test-harness.php, the reported results are wrong (also below). The harness reports all tests passed, even if they didn't. After doing some digging, I found Bug #44908, which seems to be related. It appears the interpreter on MS-Windows is not creating the pipe file for STDOUT, so the harness never sees the results from the actual tests. I also tried using the Perl Test::Harness to run the scripts and get the same error message there. Both harnesses appear to ignore the error count returned as the process exit value as well. But I am not sure if that is true or they just never saw it. Has any workaround been identified for this problem? Is there another mailing list that might be a more appropriate forum for this issue?

[PHP] Split up Date Range
I haven't been able to find anything by googling... Does anyone know of any libraries that will split up date ranges?

It would be easier to standardize the input so you only have to run one regular expression check to validate and then split the data up.

Apache needs write permissions on that dir in order to create the file

It's probably not a secure idea to give write permissions to that dir,
so maybe create a subdir of tmp and change those permissions (one way):
mkdir /Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/tmp

What are the permissions on /Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/ ?
Apache needs write permissions on that dir in order to create
the file
tableToCutAndPaste.txt.
It's probably not a secure idea to give write permissions to
that dir,
so maybe create a subdir of tmp and change those permissions
(one way):
mkdir /Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/tmp
chmod a+w /Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/tmp
Also, turn on error reporting so that you can see the exact
problem. It
may not be what you think.

Thanks for the suggestions. I added the following lines to the
very top
of my code:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
mkdir(/Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/tmp, 0777, true);
chmod(/Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/tmp, a+w);
and I also changed the line where it tries to open the file to
write to
to go to the new directory:
$out =
fopen(/Applications/apache/htdocs/wp-php/tmp/
tableToCutAndPaste.txt,
w);
Below are the errors I got:

[PHP] Call for testing: New PHP 5.3 debian packages
(Please excuse the gratuitous cross-post) Now that PHP 5.3 has been officially released[1], the Debian PHP packaging team would like to announce the availability of PHP 5.3 packages for initial public testing. The packages are currently available for both amd64 and i386 users of testing/unstable, via the experimental release section of the debian packaging archive. To install these packages on your system, add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main you should then be able to install these packages with apt-get install -t experimental php5 (and you can replace php5 with a more specific package selection of course) DISCLAIMER: You should not install these packages on a production system, until they have recieved wider testing and review. I have given the packages limited local testing but due to the nature of the 5.3 upgrade it's possible that you may have problems with either the packaging or one of the many changes in this update! As time progresses we may set up an alternate location dedicated for php5.3 related packages, depending on demand, how many additional packages we need to rebuild for testing (all debian packages that build against the php API/ABI need to be updated) and how long we delay the transition to 5.3 in debian unstable. I should emphasize that we don't have plans to transition to PHP 5.3 in debian testing/unstable in the immediate future; at least not until we feel comfortable that the packages and software are reasonably stable and tested. So if you want to see this happen faster the best thing you can do is report to us with your problems (and successes!) using these packages. Please forward any and all feedback/problems to the Debian PHP team's mailing list[2] and if you're convinced that there's a problem, the debian bug tracking system[3] and/or the PHP bug tracking system[4] depending on who you think should get the blame :).

[PHP] removing an array from a compound array
I have a compound array, that is, an array of an array of an array, etc, that is about 5 arrays deep. I currently search thru all of these arrays, and based on some criteria, I want to delete one of the arrays (along with all of its sub-arrays) in the middle. What is the easiest way to delete such an embedded array? array_splice() looked like a possibility, however, it requires that I specify the array for removal by using offsets which seems odd to me. Isn't there a way to remove array A from array B? Thanks, -Andres -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I was preaching this to you months ago. You should have error reporting turned on in a development
area.
by that I mean php should be set to display_errors = on and error_reporting =
E_ALL
Give this a try in a development area and you will see the errors of your
ways...

Is that exactly your code?
see your 4th line:

you forgot the y in mysql_query function...
if you have a 500 error code maybe this is the problem

[PHP] PHP Raw-listing Problem
Hi there everyone,
First of all, let me thank you for your always-present help in this list; I (as
a newbie) appreciate it very much! :)
However, pardon me for I need to trouble you with another piece of text that
doesn't do what it should do:
I need to parse the raw-listing of an FTP into it's parts (the code comes from
the book published by Wrox, however, I don't have the book in my posession to
check the two versions against each other), but it returns an empty list. Here
is the code:
[code]
switch ($this-systype){ //Parse raw dir listing into fields
case 'Windows_NT': //Handle WinNT FTP servers
$re = '/^.' .
'([0-9-]+\s+)'. //Get last mod date
'\d\d:\d\d..)\s+' . //Get last mod time
'(\S+)\s+' .//Get size or dir info
'(.+)$/';//Get file/dir name
break;
case 'UNIX': //Handle UNIX FTP servers
default://case UNIX falls through to default
$re = '/'. //Regax to parse common server dir into
'^(.)' . //Get entry type info (file/dir/etc.)
'(\S+)\s+' . //Get permissions info
'\S+\s+'. //Find, but don't capture hard link info
'(\S+)\s+' . //Get owner name
'(\S+)\s+' . //Get group name
'(\S+)\s+' . //Get size
'(\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+\s+)' . //Get file/dir last mod time
'(.+)$/'; //Get file/dir name
break;
}
//Map short identifiers to full names
$type = array('-'='file','d'='directory');
$listing = array();
foreach ($temp as $entry) { //loop through raw listings
//try to parse raw data into fields
$match=preg_match($re,$entry,$matches);
if(!$match) { //if we could not parse the listings
user_error(The directory listings could not be parsed.);
return array();
}
switch ($this-systypes){ //Give fileds sensible names
case 'Windows_NT';//Handle WinNT-style dir listings
$listings[] = array( //Put parsed data into readable format
'type' =
is_numeric($matches[2]) ? 'file' : 'directory','permissions' =
null,'owner' =NULL,'group'=null,'size'=(int)$matches[2],
'last mod' = $matches[1],'name'=$matches[3]);
break;
case 'UNIX': //Handle UNIX FTP-style dir listings
default: //case UNIX fails through to default
$strings[] = array( //Put data into readable format
'type' =$type[$matches[1]],'permissions' = $matches[2],'owner'
=$matches[3],'group' = $matches[4],'size' = $matches[5],
'last mod' =$matches[6],'name'=$matches[7]);
break;
}
}
return $listings;
[/code]
Since this function is called Is($directory); I tried this:
var_dump($ftp_server-Is($ftp_server-cwd));
However, I get null.
Why?
(It's not that I understand how the raw-listing is being parsed using regular
expressions, so it's why I'm asking :) )
Thanks!
