Hi,
I am trying to read variables from input method.
I am using this tuorial:
http://www.lornajane.net/posts/2008/Accessing-Incoming-PUT-Data-from-PHP.
Here is my code:
?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET') {
echo this is a get request\n;
echo $_GET['fruit']. is the fruit\n;
echo I want .$_GET['quantity']. of them\n\n;
} elseif($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'PUT') {
echo this is a put request\n;
parse_str(file_get_contents(php://input),$post_vars);
echo $post_vars['fruit']. is the fruit\n;
echo I want .$post_vars['quantity']. of them\n\n;
}
?
I am using the firefox extension poster to run this example. GET
works fine but when using PUT, file_get_contents(php://input)
returns an empty string.
I found a bug related to this: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51592
I am using xampp on win7 (
+ Apache 2.2.17
+ MySQL 5.5.8 (Community Server)
+ PHP 5.3.5 (VC6 X86 32bit) + PEAR)

Hi Adam.
Although I've never worked with PUT/DELETE requests, here are my thoughts.
1) According to the manual, file_get_contents only allows URL's as filenames if
fopen wrappers are enabled. Make sure that this is the case (have a look at
the settings in your php ini file). Do you get any data when changing
'file_get_contents' to e.g. (as found here:
http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.put-method.php)?
?php
/* PUT data comes in on the stdin stream */
$putdata = fopen(php://input, r);
/* Open a file for writing */
$fp = fopen(myputfile.ext, w);
/* Read the data 1 KB at a time
and write to the file */
while ($data = fread($putdata, 1024))
fwrite($fp, $data);
/* Close the streams */
fclose($fp);
fclose($putdata);
?
2) Have a look in your Appache log files and make sure the client is actually
making a valid PUT request.

[PHP] Measuring CPU time
I haven't found a function to allow me to see elapsed CPU time to date in a function. Am I right in thinking none such exists? -- Cheers -- Tim -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Numeric help needed
Hi everyone, I am having a hard time with a numerical problem. I need to round some numbers up and I've tried $round($number) and it doesn't work so I'm misunderstanding something. For example, if a user inputs 685000 I need it to round up to 69 or if they input 149560 I need it to round up to 15. What is the correct way to do this as everything I have tried doesn't seem to affect the user inputted figure at all. Anyway help would REALLY be appreciated, I'm sure it's really simple but for the life of me I'm stumped on why it's not working. Chris

Re: [PHP] Numeric help needed
Hi Jason, I've tried lots of different things, including: echo br . round(68500, 1000) . ROUNDED; thinking that might be it, but i'm stumped This is the example I was given (And have to go by): If the loan amount is $68500.00, the insurace will be based on $69000.00 as the amount is always rounded up to the next $1000. Maybe i'm just looking at it wrong but i'm stumped.

ROUNDED; You can also pass a second parameter to round() that indicates the precision to round to. If you pass a negative precision value, you can round to higher-order digits. For example, pass -3 to round to the nearest thousand. Having said that, based on the quote above, I believe this would be an incorrect solution to the problem. It sounds like the value is simply always rounded up to the nearest thousand, which means round() is not the function to use as it will sometimes round down. Instead ceil() should be used, as it always rounds up to the next whole number/integer. It lacks a precision argument, however, so the OP would need to use the divide-adjust-multiple trick you provided to make it work. That is, something like this: $newValue = ceil(68500 / 1000) * 1000 Numbers smaller than 1000 will need to be handled as an edge case, since this algorithm will adjust them to zero for you (same as when using round(), incidentally). If negative numbers are valid inputs, they'll also need careful review to ensure correct behavior.
