I'm hoping someone who knows the answer to this question is on this list.

I need to modify either libxml2 and/or php DOMDocument to make a small 
change.


Issue - saveHTML() function predates html5 (which isn't even finalized 
yet) and thus does not know about it's tags.


the source element is new in html5 and may not have any children, so 
when using saveHTML() from DOMDocument, it should NOT add a closing 
/source tag (it should be handled the same way the param element is 
handled). It does the right thing with saveXML() where it properly self 
closes the tag, but it does not do the right thing with saveHTML().


I suspect it is a minor easy to do change, but I don't even have the 
foggiest idea where to look in the source to make a patch.


It's not all that big of a deal, but I would like my server to spit out 
the correct code without me having to pass it through preg_replace.


Thanks for any suggestions on where/how to define that tag in the source.

I've not had a look at DOMDocument myself, having only used DomDocument
before (there's a slight difference in the capitalisation of the 2nd and
3rd letters which made it a pain in the proverbial to work with at
first!) but I would assume that if it might offer a method by which you
could specify certain self closing tags. This would be necessary at
least internally, to differentiate between things like param/ which
can be self closing and script which can't (even though the latter
might only be referencing an external .js file and have no inline code!)

If not, then I'd do a file find on the code for any files containing the
text 'param' for example, to see if that leads you to the right place.

You may have problems doing this on a Windows XP system, as I believe
the search function in that OS has some weird behavior with text files
that it recognises as being scripts based on the file extension. I know
it does that for asp files, but not too sure with php ones.

saveXML() does self close a script tag with no children.
self closing script is only a problem if sent as html, it works when 
sent with application/xml+xhtml mime type. But you're right, saveHTML() 
does not do self closing nor /script.




If not, then I'd do a file find on the code for any files containing the 
text 'param' for example, to see if that leads you to the right place.


I tried that on libxml2 source - grep -R param didn't work so well, a 
bazillion files with that use the phrase param.




You may have problems doing this on a Windows XP system,


I'm on linux.
I'll find it eventually. Probably just before upstream does an official 
html5 patch ;)

RE: [PHP] Developer Question [DOMDocument]

saveXML and transform it via XSL

It should be simple since basically the only thing you have to do is to
replicate everything adding right !DOCTYPE html at the beginning and nothing
else.

Is this solution suitable for your requirements?

No joke, look it up yourself. DOMDocument is different from DomDocument
(the latter is pre PHP 5) I had a lot of issues looking up for help on
this, as search engines aren't case-sensitive!

 ... try to search php.net or PHP.NET in Google and you'll obtain exactly the

I never tried to say that classes are case-sensitive, that was actually
mentioned by Lupus who misunderstood what I was trying to say. What I
was meaning is exactly what you just said here, that the PECL
DomDocument is very different from the more typical DOMDocument. I was
trying to run code examples that just weren't compatible with the
differing classes which was quite frustrating!

[PHP] sending HTML email

2009-10-05 Thread John Corry

I've inherited a PHP application, first task of which was relocating to a
new server.
We've installed and configured all of the files on a dedicated linux server
at 1 and 1 (using qmail as an MTA).

Since the move, the client is complaining that *some* of the recipients of
the HTML email that the server sends out to all of the users are receiving
plain HTML code in their mail clients...not the nice, rendered, styled
content they intend.

It looks fine to me.

I found one small error in the HTML that was sent and fixed it (there may be
more)...

But the client is telling me that this is a new problem as of the server
move.

Any suggestions which direction to look to try to resolve this?

[PHP] SWF Manipulation with PHP

Hi Folks!

A very long time ago i spend a little bit of my time to find how i can load
a swf file, load an specific frame of that SWF File and save this like a JPG
or any other format.

I try the ming but it can't load a external swf movie. You only can CREATE
a swf. I try the libswf too but i not have a success.

Anyone have ANY idea that works?

[PHP] Variable name as a variable?

2009-10-05 Thread Dotan Cohen

I need to store a variable name as a variable. Note quite a C-style
pointer, but a way to access one variable who's name is stored in
another variable.

As part of a spam-control measure, a certain public-facing form will
have dummy rotating text fields and a hidden field that will describe
which text field should be considered, like this:

input type=text name=text_1
input type=text name=text_2
input type=text name=text_3
input type=hidden name=real_field value=text_2

As this will be a very general-purpose tool, a switch statement on the
hidden field's value would not be appropriate here. Naturally, the
situation will be much more complex and this is a non-obfuscated
generalization of the HTML side of things which should describe the
problem that I need to solve on the server side.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

What's wrong with this:

$user_value = $_REQUEST[$_REQUEST['real_field']];

Obviously this isn't production worthy code, you'd really need to put
the whole thing in a ternary if to check if the values actually exist,
but this would definitely solve your problem.

By any chance are the offending emails all being displayed on Outlook or
Outlook Express, specifically version 2002 (part of Office XP) If so,
then you may need to change any \r\n into \n only in the headers that
are being sent, which seemed to fix the issue for me. Seems that this
version of the software has major problems with both characters being
used as EOL markers.

Hi Andrea

Andrea Giammarchi wrote on 2009-10-04 19:36:
Unless I am missing something, your page has too many if and it always 
ends up with print something ... but there is no exit after the 
download, so the zip will have extra output included without a reason 
... which is an error, imho, dunno how else explain if you can't see 
your print links at the end of the page ...


Sorry, the .phps file wasn't updated, but the page still works as 
expected even though I've printed stuff after the header (i tested that 
just for fun).


I'm thinking I'll try and look at the included files, this is what 
happends before the headers are trown:


session_start();
$version_id = $_REQUEST['version_id'];
$track_id = $_REQUEST['track_id'];
$member_id = $_REQUEST['member_id'];
$string = $_REQUEST['string'];
$zipfile = $_REQUEST['zipfile'];

if($DOWNLOAD_OK) {
  include inc/connect.inc;
  include inc/functions.inc;
  include inc/default_functions.inc;

As you said earlier, spaces could do wierd stuff to a header

Also switching between utf-8 and latin-1 character sets can make php 
choke, I've experienced that before with sessions.


Kind regards
Kim

   I try to better explain ...
  
   HTTP works like this: you ask something, you receive something, 
html and

   texts are just one option.
 
  Got it so far
 
   Your example page mess up html, zip, everything, because when you
   download a file you still have the rest of the page sent in the output.
 
  Nops, not really.
 
  index.php:
  print stuff
  do stuff
  open download.php in a _new_ window.
  print more stuff
  page end
 
  this should be possible, right? Two different headers for two different
  pages.
 
   A download should have ONLY file related info/headers and nothing else
   in the output ... echo/print in the middle of the code before an 
header

   is an error, everything in output before an header is an error,
   everything after headers that is not related to that header is an 
error,

   got my point?
 
  Jep! And that's actually what I do. What I could, is to add exit; after
  the headers have been sent and the file have been pushed. I do an update
  of the database to tell the system that the files in the zipfile has
  been downloaded.
 
   To decide how a page should behave, you must be able to do not produce
   anything except the expected output with expected headers, that's 
why I

   have said headers are fundamental for a response, we cannot play with
   outputs however we want.
 
  The only output is the headers of the zipfile:
 
  header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
  header(Content-Type: application/zip);
  header(Content-Length: $size);
  header(Content-disposition: attachment;
  filename=\.basename($zip_filename).\);
  header(Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary);
  readfile($filename);

  Wouldn't you say this is okay?
 
   As summary, once you have created and tried a dedicated page without a
   single white space or print before, during, or after the dedicated
   download stuff, I'll try to understand where is the error.
   Otherwise it could be everything, and I am against magic 
behaviors ...
   you need to download? Well, create a file which aims id to download 
and

   nothing else, or you gonna constantly find these kind of problems in
   your applications.
 
  I believe the testpage does forfill that request? Or do you mean 
otherwise?

  Unless I am missing something, your page has too many if and it always 
  ends up with print something ... but there is no exit after the 
  download, so the zip will have extra output included without a reason 
  ... which is an error, imho, dunno how else explain if you can't see 
  your print links at the end of the page ...
 
 Sorry, the .phps file wasn't updated, but the page still works as 
 expected even though I've printed stuff after the header (i tested that 
 just for fun).
 
 I'm thinking I'll try and look at the included files, this is what 
 happends before the headers are trown:
 
 session_start();
 $version_id = $_REQUEST['version_id'];
 $track_id = $_REQUEST['track_id'];
 $member_id = $_REQUEST['member_id'];
 $string = $_REQUEST['string'];
 $zipfile = $_REQUEST['zipfile'];
 
 if($DOWNLOAD_OK) {
include inc/connect.inc;
include inc/functions.inc;
include inc/default_functions.inc;
 
 As you said earlier, spaces could do wierd stuff to a header
 
 Also switching between utf-8 and latin-1 character sets can make php 
 choke, I've experienced that before with sessions.
 
 Kind regards

Hello Andrea

  Header must come first (before you output anything) or you get a 
  parse
  error

 I try to better explain ...

 HTTP works like this: you ask something, you receive something, 
  html and
 texts are just one option.
   
Got it so far
   
 Your example page mess up html, zip, everything, because when you
 download a file you still have the rest of the page sent in the output.
   
Nops, not really.
   
index.php:
print stuff
do stuff
open download.php in a _new_ window.
print more stuff
page end
   
this should be possible, right? Two different headers for two different
pages.
   
 A download should have ONLY file related info/headers and nothing else
 in the output ... echo/print in the middle of the code before an 
  header
 is an error, everything in output before an header is an error,
 everything after headers that is not related to that header is an 
  error,
 got my point?
   
Jep! And that's actually what I do. What I could, is to add exit; after
the headers have been sent and the file have been pushed. I do an update
of the database to tell the system that the files in the zipfile has
been downloaded.
   
 To decide how a page should behave, you must be able to do not produce
 anything except the expected output with expected headers, that's 
  why I
 have said headers are fundamental for a response, we cannot play with
 outputs however we want.
   
The only output is the headers of the zipfile:
   
header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
header(Content-Type: application/zip);
header(Content-Length: $size);
header(Content-disposition: attachment;
filename=\.basename($zip_filename).\);
header(Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary);
readfile($filename);
   
// we need to reload top5 to have a current view
unset($_SESSION['top5']);
$_SESSION['reload_top5'] = 1;
   
// NOTE second param shall be an array, not a variable when
downloading zip files
download_completed($member_id, $downloaded_version_ids);

There's a useful function called headers_sent() which checks to see if
the headers have already been sent to the browser. This might be a good
place to throw into your code at various points to check and see if
something is being written which you don't expect.

Also, one method I use, is to write the content you would be 'printing'

true, check that as well, moreover, you talked about utf-8, well, if the BOM is 
automatically added, it can cause lots of problems ... still, only if you sent 
whatever to the output before the download.
