[PHP] preg_match doesn't match Greek
Hi gang, I am trying to make a form validation using preg_match and it fails. I think it is because the input is in Greek. I have made this script: $str = ΕΕΝ 5196; $pattern = /^[[:alnum:]\s\-\,]*$/u; echo 'pre'; print preg_match($pattern,$str,$matches).\n; print_r($matches); to test preg_match's behavior and when the above string has Latin characters the pattern matches when it's in greek.

Re: [PHP] I'm not crazy I swear it... IE vs Safari and Firefox - The impossible!
Does anyone have any ideas on what could possibly be causing this? Matt: The first thing I would do is to validate the web portion of your application. In other words do your forms, as well as the rest of the web pages, validate? I've seen instances where people build projects around IE when that's not the browser you should be using as a foundation, but rather accommodating its shortcomings after you get your project working correctly. The second thing would be to check your javascript for errors. Oddly enough, I would use FF (Fire Bug) for that. You could post a url for us to look at as well.

Re: [PHP] LoginShare | How to authenticate once, and login to different websites

The challenge is to automatically authenticate the user on the 2nd application as well. i'm wondering how? Is it secure to store the username and password in the $_SESSION, and share the session between the two applications? Please let me know what do you think. Thank you in advance, -behzad The best approach to shared sessions are, commonly, database driven, but this can vary depending on your site/network topology. If the two sites are in the same server (and the server is unique) you can share sessions, but this is risky, so you have to develop with this issue in mind, let's say avoid things like this. ?php $_SESSION[ 'something' ] = $somewhat; # you can be, probably, breaking the other app ? If you have more than just one web server, or you are planning to scale it later, then the database driven fits better. You need to share a cookie between both sites, often the session_id, and store the user-session info in a table. If the user logs-in -no matter in which site- an entry on the user-session table is set with the cookie and the user id. When the user logs-out this entry is removed, and the user is not able to navigate to private areas in both sites. Avoid doing things like a form-post from SiteA to SiteB. This kind of things only make holes to your application security system. User credentials MUST not be handled at client-side. Keep them safetily at server-side where you are who decide which action should be taken. -- Martin Scotta

In short, if you want us to take the time to understand your problem, then don't make our work harder by requiring us to first figure out the syntax of your question.

PHP (like all languages I know) treats dates as numbers; and PHP
specifically uses seconds since January 1st 1970 (other languages
sometimes have different start points and can measure in milliseconds
instead). With this in mind, you can compare dates directly as you would
an integer, and the later date will be the higher value.
To add 30 days to a given date, you could use the date_add function
(http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/datetime.add.php ) which has various
formats you can use to add different time units.
Lastly, to turn a date like 8/26/2009, I would probably try to break it
down into it's component parts (maybe using explode('/', $string_date) )
and then using those values as arguments in a mktime() function. PHP
should automatically treat the values as integers if they are strings,
because like ASP, it uses loose typing on variables.

Re: [PHP] Date +30 comparison
I'm really struggling with dates in PHP. (Yes, I tried reading the
manual)...
Can someone provide code that does this:
Takes current date, assigns it to a variable (let's say $today)
Then adds 30 days to $today variable
Takes a string ($nexteval) like '8/26/2009' and compare it to $today.
The variable $nexteval must be greater than $today (which is today + 30
days) or a message is echoed.
I'm finding this difficult to do, but I'm coming from an ASP background.
Any help appreciated.
David,
Look up date() and mktime() in the manual.
To get today's date is easy: date('m/d/Y');
But when wanting to add days/months/years to a date, you need to use
mktime()
mktime() breaks apart a date into hours/minutes/seconds/months/days/years.
Therefore I always break up my date into these types fo sections.
$month = date('m');
$day = date('d');
$year = date('Y');
Now that I have them seperated I create a variable $future_date and assign
it the value I want. In your case, 30 days in the future.
$future_date = mktime(0,0,0,date($month),date($day)+30,date($year));
Now I put it back into a date format.
$future_date = date('m/d/Y',$future_date);
echo $future_date;
Today is September 1st and the value of $future_date is October 1st because
there are 30 days in Spetember.
Now you can compare your dates.
if ($nexteval $future_date) {
echo This date has already passed;
} else {
*do some processing*
}
Hope that helps.
Dan
Re: [PHP] Date +30 comparison
i prefer http://in3.php.net/strtotime it supports loads of other formats as well (including +30 days and 8/26/2009) above all it returns unix time stamp which can be used directly with date(). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

PHP (like all languages I know) treats dates as numbers; and PHP
specifically uses seconds since January 1st 1970 (other languages
sometimes have different start points and can measure in milliseconds
instead). With this in mind, you can compare dates directly as you would
an integer, and the later date will be the higher value.
To add 30 days to a given date, you could use the date_add function

because like ASP, it uses loose typing on variables.
David :
First get the date to seconds, like so:
$today_date = '8/26/2009';
$next_date = strtotime($today_date) + (86400 * 30);
OR
$next_date = strtotime('+30 days', strtotime($today_date));
Then take the seconds back to a date, like so:
$the_date = date('m/d/Y', $next_date);
Here's the example:

You got it.
Just transform any date to seconds and then compare those seconds to
other seconds (taken from other dates) and evaluate. Dead simple.
Also note that the strtotime() and date() combination provides some
very nice features like keeping track of the resultant date. You
don't have to worry about leap years, or months having 28-31 days, or
anything like that -- it's all taken care of for you, pretty neat huh?

We want to be able to call this PHP function from a standalone application that will get that particular chunk of data specified and save it to the local drive. But, so far, we have been told that any function we use (fopen/fread, file_get_contents) will first load the entire file into memory. As far as I know then, HTTP doesn't support entering files at points specified by a remote user. A request is made for a file, and the server determines how to break it up in order to send.

Re: [PHP] Reading remote files
I think, this also depends on the oprating system. I would say that any development team would avoid loading file type data into fast memory. These problems are all over applications. From the PHP point of view, it could mean that file data have to be read into memory, but it could not mean that the data have to be necceserily in a memory chip. as smart as oprerating systems, apache and PHP are designed, I would expect some disk cashing mechanism for large data block fom the developers. so if u did not have any problem yet, do define a test with the average of traffic u are expecting and see what happens. I see a pretty good chance that there will be not so much a problem. ralph_def...@yahoo.de Grace Shibley shibl...@gmail.com wrote in message news:a4d1d5260909011055o55689189n4e42af2e319f...@mail.gmail.com... Are you actually having a problem with memory, or simply that you have to transfer it over a network first? Depending on the protocol used, you may be able to read it in chunks, but those chunks will still have to be copied to the computer that is reading it before it can be processed. The other option is to run a process in the computer where the file resides and only send the results over the network. Bob McConnell We haven't actually had a problem yet, but we don't want to run a risk of a server crash. We want to be able to call this PHP function from a standalone application that will get that particular chunk of data specified and save it to the local drive. But, so far, we have been told that any function we use (fopen/fread, file_get_contents) will first load the entire file into memory. As far as I know then, HTTP doesn't support entering files at points specified by a remote user. A request is made for a file, and the server determines how to break it up in order to send. Apparently, with file_get_contents, you can specify an offset and a datasize, but it still loads the whole file first. Is this true?

The primary thing you need to do to make a class a singleton is
disallow the instantiation of a class directly. Which means using
visibility, which is conspicuously absent from your example above.
So, to prevent normal instantiation, we make the constructor private.
Also, we need a method to retrieve the instance. Static members serve
this purpose:
class Singleton {
private static $instance;
private function __construct() { }
public static function getInstance() {
if( ! self::$instance instanceof Singleton) //replace Singleton
with class name
self::$instance = new Singleton; //replace Singleton with class name
return self::$instance;
}
public function __clone() {
throw new Exception('Cannot clone a Singleton');
}
}
This class shell will prevent people from instantiating it ($foo =
new Singleton is an error). Instead, deployment will look like `$foo
= Singleton::getInstance()` which, as you can tell, always returns the
same instance. Throwing an exception out of __clone() will prevent
something like `$foo = Singleton::getInstance(); $bar = clone $foo;`
which is something I see overlooked a lot.
So, if you wanted to convert your full class to a singleton it would
look something like:
class config {
private static $instance;
private static $cfg;
private function __construct() {
if(!is_array(self::$cfg)) {
if(defined('CFGFILE')) {
include(CFGFILE);
self::$cfg = $config;
} else {
self::$cfg = array();
}
}
}

Of course such a generalization could make people uncomfortable. I would argue that it's perfectly acceptable to criticize how non-native English speakers write English.

You've clearly misread or misunderstood the original post, so let's parse it: I'm sorry, but is anyone else annoyed by people who attempt to use IRC jargon on mailing lists? Just a question, aimed at no one in particular, but expressing annoyance. For example, substituting 'u' for 'you'. Just a statement to clarify the original proposition. Oddly enough, I'm seeing this primarily in foreign language posters, not in native English speakers. Again, an observation. It does not say *all* foreign language posters are doing this. It only says that I've observed this *primarily* in foreign language posters. It doesn't say foreign language posters are bad or inferior, or even that they're part of al Qaeda. Just that I've noticed this trend in foreign language posters mostly. It's often accompanied by English so broken I don't even bother trying to decypher it, Another observation. It points out that where I've seen IRC-like idioms in foreign language posters, I've also *often* observed very poor English. Not *always*, but *often*. Again, I'm not disparaging all foreign language posters. and sometimes an *attitude* (after which, I blacklist the poster). Another observation. So we have the set of IRC-idiom posters. Of those (according to my post) *primarily* they are foreign language posters. So foreign language posters who post IRC-idioms are a large subset of IRC-idiom posters. Of *that* subset, I *often* see very broken English (a subset of the subset). And *sometimes* I see an attitude accompanying the posts (a subset of the subset of the subset). Okay? If your native language is English, the above should have been clear in the first place. And if it's not English, then I've just done you the favor of parsing it for you.

Re: [PHP] safe_mode and inclusion of files don't work as documented
Safe mode is a bad idea. :) It's not safe; it may only have the effect of making you think you're safe. If you have a particular reason to use it then maybe it's OK, but just be aware that it will not exist in future versions of PHP and relying on it is not a good idea. Security, unfortunately, is not as simple as toggling a configuration variable. Yes -- and I always look askance at shared-hosting providers who rely on safe_mode and call it a security measure.

[PHP] Generic decorators and type hinting
I'm looking for a way to implement a generic Timing class as a decorator or come up with a solution for timing code execution without cluttering the code. In my web app, there is a perceived need to measure the execution time of many function calls and database queries using ZFDebug and its timing plugin. An initial crack at this resulted in lots and lots of timing code interspersed with real code, which made modification and debugging a bit nightmarish. As a solution, I wrote a very bare-bones Timing class, a decorator that would encapsulate an object, intercept calls to the object via the __call method, start a timer, pass the call through to the encapsulated object, then stop the timer. My interface went like this: $obj = new Thing(); Timer::time( $obj ); // $obj becomes a Timer obj with $obj inside it $obj-thingMethod(); // Timer passes call to Timer-obj This worked great (and if anyone's interested I can pass on the code) -- my timers worked, and the code originally written for $obj didn't even notice -- except in cases where a function used type hinting and I got Unknown errors. I'm using Zend Framework, and (for instance) I was curious about the timing on my Initializer (a controller plugin), so I thought the following would do the trick: $initializer = new Initializer($env); Timer::time( $initializer ); $frontController-registerPlugin( $initializer ); But machinery deep in the bowels of Zend does type hinting for a Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract object, not a Timer, and so an error is raised. Whole point is that I want to be able to use this Timer class on anything. Seems like I should be able to if it weren't for the type hinting. Is there any way to fool a function into thinking my Timer is the same class as Timer-obj? Is there another way to cleanly wrap method calls for timing/logging purposes? Any other good patterns for measuring code execution time without cluttering the code? I found this discussion from last December, asking a very similar question, but it seemed unresolved: http://www.mail-archive.com/php-general@lists.php.net/msg238889.html -- David Kurtz dku...@technorati.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

One of the most common is probably a uid or something saved in the session. If both apps are on the same domain and use the same session handler, then you just need to modify each apps login code to set the login stuff for the other app. Possibly create your own login code that sets the login for both apps. Either way, there's no need (and I wouldn't advise) to store the password in the session.

The primary thing you need to do to make a class a singleton is
disallow the instantiation of a class directly. Which means using
visibility, which is conspicuously absent from your example above.
So, to prevent normal instantiation, we make the constructor private.
Also, we need a method to retrieve the instance. Static members serve
this purpose:
class Singleton {
private static $instance;
private function __construct() { }
public static function getInstance() {
if( ! self::$instance instanceof Singleton) //replace Singleton
with class name
self::$instance = new Singleton; //replace Singleton with class name
return self::$instance;
}
public function __clone() {
throw new Exception('Cannot clone a Singleton');
}
}
This class shell will prevent people from instantiating it ($foo =
new Singleton is an error). Instead, deployment will look like `$foo
= Singleton::getInstance()` which, as you can tell, always returns the
same instance. Throwing an exception out of __clone() will prevent
something like `$foo = Singleton::getInstance(); $bar = clone $foo;`
which is something I see overlooked a lot.
So, if you wanted to convert your full class to a singleton it would
look something like:
class config {
private static $instance;
private static $cfg;
private function __construct() {
if(!is_array(self::$cfg)) {
if(defined('CFGFILE')) {
include(CFGFILE);
self::$cfg = $config;
} else {
self::$cfg = array();
}
}
}
public function getInstance() {
if(!(self::$instance instanceof config)) {
self::$instance = new config();
}
return self::$instance;
}
public function __clone() {
throw new Exception(Cannot clone a Singleton.);
}
public function item($index) {
if(array_key_exists($index, self::$cfg))
return self::$cfg[$index];
else
return null;
}
// Sets a config item, optionally overwriting.
// Returns true on success, false on failure.
function set($index, $value, $overwrite = true) {
$write = false;
if (array_key_exists($index, self::$cfg) and $overwrite) {
$write = true;
} elseif (!array_key_exists($index, self::$cfg)) {
$write = true;
}
if ($write) {
self::$cfg[$index] = $value;
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
Note that this is also completely untested or anything of the sort.
