Hi all,
How to handle E_ERROR,E_PARSE with a user defined function ?
Aren't these startup errors? I am not quite sure, but if the y can't be
handled with php.
This is from the PHP docs
The following error types cannot be handled with a user defined function:
E_ERROR , E_PARSE , E_CORE_ERROR , E_CORE_WARNING , E_COMPILE_ERROR ,
E_COMPILE_WARNING , and most of E_STRICT raised in the file where
set_error_handler() is called.
If errors occur before the script is executed (e.g. on file uploads) the
custom error handler cannot be called since it is not registered at that
time.
So the only thing you can do is have a watchdog on your phperror.log and
dosomething if these errors occur.
To preparse syntax errors you can use find and php -l
$ find . -name *.php -exec php -l {} \;

I have hosted my site and i have created an email account as well.
when i am sending mail to different recipient from my php script using above
function it is getting delivered to respective recipients as expected.
However if I want to see those mail in the sent folder of my email account ,
i can not see those mails there.
How can I achieve this.
Any suggestions.
Bad quoting above by the below:
You can change the settings of sendmail
http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Administration/Getting-Started-with-Sendmail/12/
OR
You can log text or database each email.
$query = INSERT INTO mail_log (`subject`,`to`,`from`,`message`,`mail_date`)
values ('.mysql_real_escape_string( $subject ).',
'.mysql_real_escape_string( $to ).', '.mysql_real_escape_string( $from
).', '.mysql_real_escape_string( $message ).', '.date(Y-m-d H:i:s).')
;
Or, you can Bcc: yourself and filter (procmail) the email into your
sent-mail folder.

You hit upon a theory of mine -- and that is our functions grow in size up to our ability to view them in their totality. When our functions get beyond that limit, we tend to refactor and reduce. I know from the last several decades of programming, my functions have increased in number of lines. But, they have reached a limit that limit is generally about the number of lines I can read in half of my monitor's height. This of course, is dependent on monitor resolution, font-size, and how far I am sitting from the monitor. But I think this is a natural and physical limit that we don't normally recognize. I can cite studies that support my theory. It would be an interesting survey to ask programmers to review their code and provide the average number of lines in their functions AND how many lines of code their monitor's can display. In other words, look at your editor; count the number of lines your monitor can display; estimate the number of lines in your average function; and report the findings. For example, mine is about half -- my monitor can display 55 lines of code and my average function is around 25 lines. YMMV. Interesting, yes?

We use Windows production servers here but many of us would like to get more LAMP environments. So, I'm wondering if I can use the hive mind here to get a sense of the pros and cons of each platform. Thanks. Jeff In addition to Ashley's response, server variables can be populated with different values on PHP/Apache/Linux versus PHP/IIS/Windows. This can be a particular issue if you're writing 404 handlers or anything that relies on query strings. In particular you need to test and check for differences between Apache and IIS in how the REQUEST_URI, QUERY_STRING, URL, and ORIG_PATH_INFO variables are populated depending on whether your script is being called directly or as a 404 handler. When redirecting due to a 404 or some other redirect or error IIS will populate some variables with values like this /404.php?404;http://www.server.com:80/blah.php?v=1t=2; whereas Apache will populate the same variable with /blah.php?v=1t=2 in the same situation. This means the query string needs to be parsed differently. You need to test for your own usage scenarios. -- MarkR PGP public key: http://www.signal100.com/markr/pgp Key ID: C9C5C162 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Just to clarify on this point, Windows (or rather NTFS) permissions use full ACLs and so, for each file system object, any number of users and/or groups can have any number of allow or deny permissions assigned to them for a range of activities (e.g. read, write, append, delete, create, execute, traverse, read/write attributes, read/write permissions, etc.).

[PHP] openssl_sign() openssl_verify() discrepancy
I have run into a problem that I am altogether unfamiliar with. A scenario. I retrieve a users private key from a database. I then use the openssl_pkey_get_private() function to load it as a resource object and proceed to call the openssl_sign() function to obtain a digital signature of a string. No problem, I get a valid signature which I then base64 encode and store in a database.

Subject: [PHP] w.r.t. mail() function
Hi ,
I have a query w.r.t. mail() function in php.
I have hosted my site and i have created an email account as well.
when i am sending mail to different recipient from my php script using above
function it is getting delivered to respective recipients as expected.
However if I want to see those mail in the sent folder of my email account ,
i can not see those mails there.
How can I achieve this.
Any suggestions.
Bad quoting above by the below:
You can change the settings of sendmail
http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Administration/Getting-Started-with-Sendmail/12/
OR
You can log text or database each email.
$query = INSERT INTO mail_log (`subject`,`to`,`from`,`message`,`mail_date`)
values ('.mysql_real_escape_string( $subject ).',
'.mysql_real_escape_string( $to ).', '.mysql_real_escape_string( $from
).', '.mysql_real_escape_string( $message ).', '.date(Y-m-d H:i:s).')
;
Or, you can Bcc: yourself and filter (procmail) the email into your
sent-mail folder.
Jonesy
Or, if your mail server has IMAP access, use any PHP IMAP extension
to connect to your IMAP server and send it from there. Then it will
appear in your outbox.

Subject: [PHP] w.r.t. mail() function
Hi ,
I have a query w.r.t. mail() function in php.
I have hosted my site and i have created an email account as well.
when i am sending mail to different recipient from my php script using
above
function it is getting delivered to respective recipients as expected.
However if I want to see those mail in the sent folder of my email account
,
i can not see those mails there.
How can I achieve this.
Any suggestions.
Bad quoting above by the below:
You can change the settings of sendmail
http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Administration/Getting-Started-with-Sendmail/12/
OR
You can log text or database each email.
$query = INSERT INTO mail_log
(`subject`,`to`,`from`,`message`,`mail_date`)
values ('.mysql_real_escape_string( $subject ).',
'.mysql_real_escape_string( $to ).', '.mysql_real_escape_string( $from
).', '.mysql_real_escape_string( $message ).', '.date(Y-m-d
H:i:s).')
;
Or, you can Bcc: yourself and filter (procmail) the email into your
sent-mail folder.

Or, if your mail server has IMAP access, use any PHP IMAP extension
to connect to your IMAP server and send it from there. Then it will
appear in your outbox.

Are you sure? I connect to my email through Imap on both my desktop and my
phone, and neither sees the others sent emails. I thought sent was just a
local thing, unless the email client is specifically configured to do
something special.
Yes, I have a few applications that send email through IMAP and they end up
in my sent mail box. Both with this Gmail account, and a mail server on a
different host. You're clients are probably configured to still use SMTP
for sending, not IMAP.

Thanks. Jeff Apart from all other suggestions, one of the most common errors are because of different php.ini settings. If you can keep those settings (mostly) equal, there will not be that many errors. - Matijn I would say that's not limited to the distinction between Windows and Linux but any server. I've seen what appears to be an identical setup (same version of PHP, MySQL, etc) fail only because of a small setting in the php.ini file, just because the default was slightly different on the second system; both were running Linux. Yes, ofcourse, that comment was meant for any two systems. - Matijn

A scenario. I retrieve a users private key from a database. I then use the openssl_pkey_get_private() function to load it as a resource object and proceed to call the openssl_sign() function to obtain a digital signature of a string. No problem, I get a valid signature which I then base64 encode and store in a database. Now lets say a couple of days from now I load up the public key which corresponds to the private key which was used to originally sign the data to verify it and it does not work. The kicker is if I perform the very same routine without saving the signature and attempting to verify it it works without problems. Have you checked what $signed looks like after running the script? Compare it to $signature. Most likely you corrupted your date elsewhere, maybe when inserting it into the database. - Matijn The example that accompanies the post shows two examples, one works one does not. Neither however use any type of database, as both simply assign or use the valid signature stored within either the $signature or $signed variables. I wish I could say that is the problem, I took care to properly encode/decode when saving or retrieving the information and as well in the original post I removed this as a possible cause by simply defining the $signature variable and assigning a valid signature to it for testing. First of all, it seems $signature is in base64 format, so I think you should base64_decode that one first. Then it appears to me that $signature is not the same as $signed, on my system. If I base64_encode $signed, save it by copying it from my browser, and then enter it as $signature, and then use base64_decode on $signature it works fine. - Matijn Those are the same steps I just mentioned. The base64_decoding is a typo on the second example. It should read openssl_verify($unsigned, base64_decode($signature), $id); Well, then maybe you should explain the problem further, because with this it works fine, and it appears to me the problem is not here but it comes when you try to store/retrieve the data. - Matijn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Though, it is unavoidable in some cases I think. I do have some of these functions in my code too, I have one switch block of more than 500 lines, but that's just because I have more than 400 individual case statements, and I don't think there's a better way to do it. Doesn't mean I like it btw. I never encounter such big switch statement in PHP yet. However I saw huge switch and had to optimize it while working with a custom programming language interpreter written in C. When I see the language is OO, I try to apply polymorphic behavior and eliminate any switch statements.

Re: [PHP] Function size
I use a lot of switches but they are always small in size because they look
mostly like this:
switch($action) {
case 'hello':
$someObject-executeAction();
break;
case 'world':
$someOtherObject-executeOtherAction();
break;
default:
$this-anotherAction();
break;
}
Maybe it's not the rule for some really specific small functionality which I
know I won't be using ever again, but that's the latest trend I've acquired in
order to improve readability. Personally I find that the particular switch
statement disorders the code, but at least it is a lot better than a lot of
if/elses xD
Haven't you tried this approach or does that particular function do have a lot
of cases?
Greetings.

A rule of thumb is no more than 50 lines per

You hit upon a theory of mine -- and that is our functions grow in size up
to our ability to view them in their totality. When our functions get
beyond that limit, we tend to refactor and reduce.
When number of lines becomes the criteria of function size? Wouldn't it
depends on the task the function is doing? I follow this rule, *Each time I
end up need a code block I wrote earlier, I convert it to a function. *So
simple. This way you re-factor your code automatically and you dont do any
copy paste. Last year someone on Stackoverflow asked something like
this[1]. And that was my answer.
Hi,
While this could be one reason to start a new function, it should not
(IMO) be the only reason. Sometimes you can have a large complicated
function, with say 200 LOC. While I wouldn't need any of these lines a
second time, I usually try to rip blocks of say 50 lines out and put
it in a seperate function, so that the main function itself is easier
to understand.
- Matijn
I'm of the same mind. Generally I'll split a function if I'm reusing
more than a couple of lines of code. I only split a large function if
it's actually doing several things, if it happens to need 200 lines to
perform one 'step' then I'll leave it as is. While I do prefer my
functions to fit into a single 'screen', it rarely happens quite like
that, because I move from screen to screen with different resolutions,
so there's no constant limit for me.
As a rough example, on a random selection of 27 functions taken from a
controller on a site I worked on I get these general statistics:
Functions: 27
Mean lines: 22.5
Mode lines: 3
Max lines: 218
The function with 218 lines is a large switch, and it doesn't make sense
to do it any other way, because it would actually end up less readable.

Tedd Sperling t...@sperling.com writes: It would be an interesting survey to ask programmers to review their code and provide the average number of lines in their functions AND how many lines of code their monitor's can display. In other words, look at your editor; count the number of lines your monitor can display; estimate the number of lines in your average function; and report the findings. For example, mine is about half -- my monitor can display 55 lines of code and my average function is around 25 lines. YMMV. Interesting, yes? Cheers, tedd _ tedd.sperl...@gmail.com http://sperling.com My monitor can also display about 55 lines of code, my functions are, on average, just a few lines of code though -- a maximum of about 20, with an average of around 5 or so. This is because the rule of thumb I follow is that a function should do one thing, and should be named well. The biggest downside to the type of style I have is that if not done correctly, people can feel like they're swimming in a sea of chasing down functions to find out wtf is going on. When done correctly, it leads to pretty clear code, IMO. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
