Re: [PHP] Exception not being caught
2009/7/15 Weston C west...@gmail.com:

$a = new A(); // Ayn would be proud, right?
try {

This does not run as expected. I'd think that when the implicit string
conversion in the try block hits, the exception would be thrown,
caught by the catch block, and relayed.
Instead you don't ever see the words exception caught and you get
Catchable fatal error: Object of class A could not be converted to
string.
If it's catchable, why isn't it caught in my example?
It's not an exception, it's a fatal error. Fatal errors are caught
by error handling functions, not by catch blocks.
Consequence of having (at least) two separate error handling
mechanisms in the same language.

[PHP] Sub Menu System?
Folks, I'm developing a rather large site in PHP. The main horizontal nav bar never changes, no matter how deep you are in the site. However, on the left side is a vertical sub-menu system. This menu is proving to be a real pain to program. I have it limited the menu system to 3 levels: MAIN: |___Secondary pages |___Tertiary pages For each level, and each folder, I have a file called subnav.php, which contains the links for that page. It has its own code to determine the page it's on, and highlight the appropriate menu item. The problem is when I need to move pages, or add pages, it's proving to be a REAL PAIN to maintain this type of structure. Does anyone know of any off-the-shelf product that can create/maintain a sub-menu system like this? I don't mind starting over at this point, but I'm hoping there is something I can just purchase, so I can concentrate on the rest of the sitehopefully the menu system would support PHP and ASP.

Re: [PHP] Exception not being caught
There are many examples of error_handlers at
http://ar.php.net/manual/es/function.set-error-handler.php
The handler only have to cast the error to exception.
YOu can write a simple handler or a fully featured one, but the essence is
the same...
function errorHandler(/*args*/)
{
$e = new Exception( $message, $code );
throw $e;

Re: [PHP] Sub Menu System?
you can make the menu based on the files. Open the directory, read the files and save some sort of cache that use the site. When you need to move something, just delete the cache an let php do the rest. On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 9:55 AM, David Stoltz dsto...@shh.org wrote: Folks, I'm developing a rather large site in PHP.

Terion,
I hope that isn't your final answer. This has SQL injection written
all over it since you are neither validating that $letter is actually
a letter, nor are you escaping it before passing it off to MySQL.
?php
$letter = isset($_GET['letter']) ? $_GET['letter'] : 'A';
if (!preg_match('/^[A-Z]$/i', $letter) {
$letter = 'A';
/*
Rather than setting $letter to 'A' and continuing,
you could generate an error if you end up in here
so you can let the user know that what they passed
was invalid.
*/
}
//
?
In this case, it should be safe to use $letter directly in the query
without passing it through mysql_real_escape_string() since it should
only contain a single harmless alphanumeric letter, but it wouldn't
hurt (and may still be a good idea) to go ahead and escape the value
in the query anyway just in case something in your code changes later
that might cause some cruft to slip in.

My point of view:
# i'll use constants for these values
assert( ord('A') == 0x41 );
assert( ord('Z') == 0x5A );
# 1. get the ascii code of the 1st character or from A=0x41
$letter = ord( array_key_exists('letter', $_GET) ? strtoupper(
$_GET['letter']{0} ) : 'A' );
# 2. different solutions
# 2.a check if it is range ussing = ussing constants (faster)
$letter = chr( 0x41= $letter $letter = 0x5A ? $letter : 0x41 );
# 2. different solutions
# 2.b check if it is range min/max and with constants (faster)
$letter = chr( min( max(0x41, $letter), 0x5A) );
I'd use the 2.b but this has different behaviour when $letter Z (should
this ever happen?)
In the other hand I think it is the faster one.
printf has it's own mini-syntax.
This was implemented in C.
PHP's printf syntax is very similar, but with some cool add-ons

[PHP] Add php.net to my browser search box
Hi all!
I'd like to add php.net to my browser search box.
Most browser can do it by looking at some XML provided by the site.
The HTML must contain a simple link tag like this
link rel=search type=application/opensearchdescription+xml
title=PHP.net
href=http://php.net/osd.xml; /
and osd.xml should be something like this
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
OpenSearchDescription
ShortNamePHP.net/ShortName
DescriptionQuick search in PHP.net!/Description
Tagsphp quick search/Tags
Image height=16 width=16 type=image/x-icon

Url type=text/html method=GET template=
http://search.php?pattern={searchTerms}/
InputEncodingUTF-8/InputEncoding

/OpenSearchDescription
I know php.net use method=POST, but it's quite easy to provide a GET

[PHP] Inverting a dependency list
I recall, years ago, having a set of utilities that would build a call tree from application code written in C. This was useful for figuring out dependencies in code that someone else had written. I would like to do something similar with a large PHP application I am now maintaining, but with a slightly different emphasis. This application includes several library files which contain more than 400 function declarations. I need to determine how many of those functions are actually used by the application and which can be culled from the code base. Is there an easy way to determine which of them are called somewhere and then work through the call tree to identify the orphans?

The single ticks in your array() variable is causing the problem.
plus, since you are using single quotes for the entire string, the
variable isn't going to be interpreted as a variable. It will simply
print the string $row['name']
Also, this is the wrong way to use printf(). Please go read the manual

[PHP] Case Conversion of US Person Names
Hi, All -- -- - - I occasionally find myself in need of a utility to do case conversion of people's names, especially when I am converting data from an old to a new system. This is the first such occasion in PHP. I know about ucwords() and mb_convert_case(). They do not accommodate names with middle capitalization. Does anybody have such a utility to share, or know of one posted by someone out there that you have used? I am not looking for perfection -- I know that such is not possible. I just want to pick off the easy ones -- Mc, Mac, O', de, de la, van, vander, van der, d' and others like that. I see some novel attempts to do parts of this on the PHP ucwords() User Notes area, but I bet someone out there has something more comprehensive. I'd rather not roll my own as I have done in other languages. I have Googled without success.

Also, this is the wrong way to use printf(). Please go read the manual
page for this function.
Try:
printf(
'a href=view.php?name=%sb%s/bbr /%sbr /br //a',
$row['name'],
$row['name'],
$row['address']
);
This is the correct way to use printf()
I like this, just because I don't need to repeat $row['name'] (but it is
the
same thing):
printf(
'a href=view.php?name=%1$sb%1$s/bbr /%2$sbr /br
//a',
$row['name'],
$row['address']
);

I was wondering if that was possible.
Thanks for the tip.

That's what I like about this list. I wasn't totally sure it would
work myself, but I was pretty sure it would, and this was another one
of those posts that provided just enough prompting for me to actually
pop the code into Zend Studio where I could test it pretty quickly.

No, that won't work. The string that it is in, was created using single
quotes. Therefor the array reference will never be looked at. It will
simply print the actuall string, not the value associated to the array
reference.

RES: [PHP] Case Conversion of US Person Names
U can try this:
function fNme($n){
$tN=count($n=explode(' ',strtolower($n)));
$nR='';
for($i=0;$i$tN;$i++){if($i==0){$nR.=strlen($n[$i])3?ucwords($n[$i]):$n[$i]
;}else{$nR.=strlen($n[$i])3?' '.ucwords($n[$i]):' '.$n[$i];}}
return $nR;
}
echo fNme('a aaa aa aa ');
And also make an array inside this function for exceptions like 'vander' or
other words which the srtlen is 3.

Assunto: [PHP] Case Conversion of US Person Names
Hi, All -- -- - -
I occasionally find myself in need of a utility to do case conversion
of people's names, especially when I am converting data from an old
to a new system. This is the first such occasion in PHP.
I know about ucwords() and mb_convert_case(). They do not accommodate
names with middle capitalization.
Does anybody have such a utility to share, or know of one posted by
someone out there that you have used?
I am not looking for perfection -- I know that such is not possible.
I just want to pick off the easy ones -- Mc, Mac, O', de, de la, van,
vander, van der, d' and others like that. I see some novel attempts
to do parts of this on the PHP ucwords() User Notes area, but I bet
someone out there has something more comprehensive. I'd rather not
roll my own as I have done in other languages.
I have Googled without success.
Many thanks,
Ken

Thank you. If I roll my own function, that could be useful.
I'd still rather find one that exists, though.

I imagine $row is the array, and ['inType'] is an element of the array.
This is not how you use a foreach. Can you show where you are getting
$row from?

Looks like you meant to do something like this:
// Always better to be plural when you have an array.
$rows = whatever_your_rows_come_from();
foreach($rows as $row)
{
$inType = $row['inType'];
echo $inType . 'br /';

Re: [PHP] Invalid Argument why? (RESOLVED)
Actually this ended up doing what I needed:
$result =
mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$header = false;
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
if(!$header){
echo ($row['name']),'br';
echo
($row['address']),'br';
$header = true;
}
echo ($row['inDate']),'br';
echo ($row['inType']),'br';
echo ($row['notes']),'br';
echo ($row['critical']),'br' ;
echo
($row['cviolations']),'br';

RE: [PHP] Sub Menu System?
There are a plethora of solutions to do this type of navigation. All of them free. They usually use an UL and LI sections and CSS. You should look into jQuery as it has some of this built in too I believe. Lastly, consider using an array to build your menu with, then you can filter and do authentication and such by simply ripping out array elements (and checking the viewed page against the list) -Original Message- From: David Stoltz [mailto:dsto...@shh.org] Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 5:55 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Sub Menu System? Folks, I'm developing a rather large site in PHP. The main horizontal nav bar never changes, no matter how deep you are in the site. However, on the left side is a vertical sub-menu system. This menu is proving to be a real pain to program. I have it limited the menu system to 3 levels: MAIN: |___Secondary pages |___Tertiary pages For each level, and each folder, I have a file called subnav.php, which contains the links for that page. It has its own code to determine the page it's on, and highlight the appropriate menu item. The problem is when I need to move pages, or add pages, it's proving to be a REAL PAIN to maintain this type of structure. Does anyone know of any off-the-shelf product that can create/maintain a sub-menu system like this? I don't mind starting over at this point, but I'm hoping there is something I can just purchase, so I can concentrate on the rest of the sitehopefully the menu system would support PHP and ASP.

Re: [PHP] Invalid Argument why?
foreach iterates over an array or a object (see Traversable ).
If you pass anything different he complains
?php
if( !is_scalar( $collection ) )
foreach( $collection as $element )
print_r( $element );

[PHP] Internal PHP caching methodology
Hello, Call me a dreamer...but I got to ask. Is there any software for helping speed up PHP by utilizing internal PHP caching? I am not talking about the external php cache/header control. Smarty caching doesn't give me the control I need either. I would like to cache to a finer level than page by page, but rather on a module by module basis. Each of my pages contains a subset of modules. The content of these modules changes based upon certain criteria (link, time, session data, but is sometimes static across the site). I would like to be able to cache individual modules (preferably based upon frequency and time to generate). I am trying to develop a way to do this, but I have to think a brighter mind has come before me and hopefully arrived at a solution.
