Doesn't look like it...

Not even a JavaScript millisecond timestamp:

echo date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s', 9970318527584 / 1000 )."\n";

I use PHPEclipse for an editor.  It has the best code beautifier I've 
used for PHP class editing.  I hit Ctrl+Shift+F and the whole file jumps

I can take code snippets from anywhere and with a couple keystrokes, the

Re: [PHP] Regex pattern for preg_match_all

[Tommy Pham]

@Simon,

Thanks for explaining about the [^href].  I need to read up more about
greediness.  I thought I understood it but guess not.

@Peter,

I tried your pattern but it didn't capture all of my new test cases.
Also, it captures the single/double quotes in addition to the
fragments inside the href.  I couldn't figure out how to modify your
pattern to exclude the ', ", and URL fragment from group 1 matches.

Below is the new pattern with the new sample test cases that I got it
to work.  The new pattern failed only 1 of the non-compliant.

$html = <Images
http://video.search.yahoo.com/video";
data-b="http://www.yahoo.com";>Video
http://local.yahoo.com/results";
data-b="http://www.yahoo.com";>Local
http://shopping.yahoo.com/search";
data-b="http://www.yahoo.com";>Shopping
http://tools.search.yahoo.com/about/forsearchers.html"; >More
HTML;

$pattern = 
'%]*?href\s*=\s*["\']?([^"\'#>]*)["\']?\s?[^>]*>(.*?)%ims';

preg_match_all($pattern, $html, $matches);

Thanks for your time,
Tommy

Not entirely sure what your input data is, as I'm guessing one or more
mail programs may have added line breaks. When I run the code I get no
matches at all - so I'm guessing you might have different input on
your end. More specifically, I'm also guessing you have line breaks on
your end, but not equally distributed - which would explain the one
hit.
 Apart from that, there are a couple of things I'd rework in your regex:

%]*>(.*?)%ims

* added modifier to whitespace at first
* allowing for any character not followed by href (non-greedy)
* match the href
* use proper alternation
* capture anything inside the  tag, non-greedy
* match with a closing  tag

Results:
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  array(5) {
[0]=>
string(205) "http://images.search.yahoo.com/images";

Re: [PHP] Regex pattern for preg_match_all

[Simon J Welsh]

As far as I can tell, your problem lies in [^href]*. That will match any 
characters other than h, r, e or f, not anything other than the string href. 
Consider replacing it with [^>]*?. The ? makes it non-greedy so it will stop as 
soon as it can (when it matches the first href) rather than as late as it can 
(when it matches a >)

[PHP] Regex pattern for preg_match_all

[Tommy Pham]

Hi folks,

This is not directly relating to PHP but it's Friday so I'm gonna give
it a shot :).  Would someone please help me figure out why my regex
pattern doesn't work.  Below is the code and sample data:

$html = <Images
http://video.search.yahoo.com/video";
data-b="http://www.yahoo.com";>Video
http://local.yahoo.com/results";
data-b="http://www.yahoo.com";>Local
http://shopping.yahoo.com/search";
data-b="http://www.yahoo.com";>Shopping
http://tools.search.yahoo.com/about/forsearchers.html"; >More
HTML;

$pattern = 
'%]*>(.*)?%im';
preg_match_all($pattern, $html, $matches);

The only matches I got is:

Match 1 of 1:   http://local.yahoo.com/results";
data-b="http://www.yahoo.com";>Local

Group 1:http://local.yahoo.com/results

Group 2:Local

The pattern I made was to work in cases where the page is
non-compliant to any of standard W3.

Thanks,
Tommy

Optimizing the backend for speed goes beyond just SQL query
optimization.  Is the DB structure optimized?  Example:  best usage of
column type & column size?  Do you have any indexes?  Are you over
normalizing the tables?  Queries makes full use of indexes? etc...

Basic DB structure is fine when you have very small # rows.  Once the
rows count reach hundreds of thousands, or worse, millions,  you'll
need to have an optimized DB structure.  If you're limited on
knowledge and experience on RDBMS, time for major readings or ask a
friendly DBA.

Hi Simon,

Thank you for the info on call_user_func_array and for pointing out my error!  
(That bug would partially explain why I have been beating my head against the 
wall for the last several days.)  call_user_func_array is exactly what I need.  
Thanks again!

Have you tried a basic test w/o framework like this to ensure that
both installed versions of PHP & MySQL are working properly as
expected?

Test connection for sample data:
Penelope Guiness
Nick Wahlberg

Platform info:
Server Info: 5.5.7-rc-log
Client Info: mysqlnd 5.0.7-dev - 091210 - $Revision: 304625 $
Webserver: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
PHP: 5.3.5-cgi-fcgi

Test connection for sample data: '.PHP_EOL;
$dbh = new PDO( $dsn, $user, $passwd );
foreach( $dbh->query( $sql ) as $row )
{
echo ucfirst( strtolower( $row['first_name'] ) ).' '
.ucfirst( strtolower( $row['last_name'] ) ).PHP_EOL;
}
echo PHP_EOL.'Platform info: '.PHP_EOL;
$mysqli = new mysqli( $host, $user, $passwd, $dbname );
echo 'Server Info: '.$mysqli->server_info.PHP_EOL;
echo 'Client Info: '.$mysqli->client_info.PHP_EOL;
$mysqli->close();
echo 'Webserver: '.$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'].PHP_EOL;
echo 'PHP: '.PHP_VERSION.'-'.PHP_SAPI.PHP_EOL;

show_source(__FILE__);

Note: The MySQL server is my own Win x64 compilation.  Nevertheless,
PHP shouldn't have any problems with MySQL 5.5.

[PHP] how to dynamically generate list of arguments to pass to array_diff

[Mari Masuda]

Hello,

I have an array of arrays like this:
---
[array_of_arrays:private] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 2
[1] => 4
[2] => 5
[3] => 17
[4] => 80
)

[1] => Array
(
[0] => 5
[1] => 7
[2] => 9
[3] => 2
[4] => 16
[5] => 58
)

[2] => Array
(
[0] => 2
[1] => 4
[2] => 6
[3] => 8
[4] => 37
[5] => 92
)

)
---
and I want to do an array_diff on them so that I get something like this back:
---
Array
(
[0] => 6
[1] => 7
[2] => 8
[3] => 9
[4] => 16
[5] => 17
[6] => 37
[7] => 58
[8] => 80
[9] => 92
)
---

The arrays above are just an example; the real arrays I am working with can 
have many more elements (in the tens of thousands).  Also, there can be a 
variable number of subarrays.  I have written several different versions of my 
own array_diff that iterates over all the subarrays but they are slow.

My question is is there a way to call the built-in array_diff with a 
dynamically generated list of arguments?  I was thinking maybe there would be a 
way to do this with variable variables or if I generated a string that could be 
parsed by PHP but I have only succeeded in confusing myself further.  Thanks 
for any suggestions.

[PHP] New to list and to PHP

Hi I'm Pete Woodhead.  I'm new to the list and to PHP.  To be honest I very
new to code writing.
Thought this would be a good way to learn good habits as well as good code
writing.
Looking forward to learning and participating.

[PHP] Connection Handling - unreliable at best?

[James Green]

Been reading through
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/features.connection-handling.php and
trying to implement a solution using it. So far the documented
behaviour rarely occurs.

This code is a minimal test case: http://codepad.org/GqNlcWiM

I run this behind Apache 2.2 with PHP 5.3 on Linux. The in-line
comments explain the problem. I load in the browser and hit stop
pretty much immediately but PHP does not get signalled that the user
has aborted and continues.

>From memory of having to restart apache after hitting long-running
scripts in the past, I don't ever believe I've had a script terminate
on a user abort. And I've never switched the behaviour from default.

I read several people explain this behaviour would only ever work in
writing back to the client and to flush the buffer, which is included
in the test case. I've also removed any compression from within
Apache.

Can anyone explain what I've seeing? I've tried this using Lighttpd/Windows too.

Thanks,

James

Oh hey, that's a good point. All the stuff i saw so far indented 2

Can I just indent a TAB if my editor permits this? indenting 4 
spaces (2 nests) is easy, but suppose I hit one extra space- not 
enough difference to be really noticeable. Let's talk about 
indentation in php for a moment, could we?
