[PHP] PHP program to download sites
HI All, I have a client who wants to be able to download/cache all web files on certain sites for archiving info (i.e. before purchases, anything where a record of what exactly was on a certain page is needed). They would like to have this on the web server so employees could log in and enter the sites for caching and then it can have a cron job and do this at night. Is there an OS program that will take a url and crawl/cache all the links on it? If so I can easily create the interface, job queuing, and chron job setup.

Re: [PHP] open source zip code geographical drill down
Hi Ben, I'm trying to build some functionality commonly seen on the web where a user enters a zip code and they are provided with a listing of business or entity locations sorted by geographical distance. I came up with a script to where it will do this, however, the big question is how many distributors are there? I can send my code to you but I have a premonition that it will seriously choke up once the database becomes large. Here are the steps 1) enter distributor addresses 2) find table with zip code and coordinates 3) find the formula that calculates straight line distances between two sets of coordinates. 4) have LAMP perform its magic over the first 3. 5) then lather, rinse, and repeat. The problem with my methodology is that it does not calculate road distances. Who knows how complex that would end up being. Let me know what you find out and if you don't find out much else I will be glad to dig out my code.

I added this to the top of image.php and it works fine:

[PHP] Template style question
Greetings, HI All, I hope all is well. I have set up a template parser. Basically, it parses the template and finds tags with tag_name.dat file and then includes the tag_name.dat file. I have considered a few other options but as of now I think I like what I have come up with. The only problem that I have in my design is that I have to hard code tables in the dat file mixing php and html. I would prefer to be able to do something like: [[tag with db query]] table trtdcolname/tdtdcolname/tdtdcolname/td/tr trtd%var1%/tdTd%var2%/tdtd%var3%/td/tr /table [[/tag with db query]] I would like it to be able to parse the line with the %var1% (which is the column name with % or some other indicator on each side) in it and then have it generate how many ever rows as nessecary. Currently, my parsing engine loads the template, preg_splits() it so each template tag is on a new line, and then passes through the resulting array and executes the code for whatever tag is chosen. There are a couple ideas that I have thought of but have not thought of any real good way so I am turning to the list.

Re: [PHP] Template style question
HI All, Here is what I have done for now. template file snippet html head titletitle/title [[header]] [[sql sql=select user, level, ts from users order by user]] table border=1 thead trtdUser/tdtdClearance/tdtdTimestamp/td/tr /thead tbody trtd@[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tdtd@[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tdtd@[EMAIL PROTECTED]/td/tr /tbody /table [[footer]] /html /template file snippet Fist I preg_split the template on each tag designed for the template (i.e. [[tagname attribute=value]]). Second, I loop through the array and if the element is pure html it prints the line. The lines of [[tagname]] I put the tag through a preg_match_all() and get all of the attributes and set $ATTRIBUTES['name']=value. Each tag has a corresponding tag.dat file which can access the $ATTRIBUTES array. In the .dat file I set $TAG as an array to hold various information about the tag that the parsing class will need to know. The tag.dat file will pass back any information, such as results of SQL queries to $PASSBACK. Once the code has been included it sees that in this instance there is a tag with data to be imprinted so then it searches for a line with trtd@[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tdtd@[EMAIL PROTECTED]/td/tr and then it loops through the SQL results and replaces each @[EMAIL PROTECTED] with its appropriate data. Then it prints the result and then the HTML is displayed. It stops going through the template array when it finds another tag starting with [[sql. This way I can have more than one table imprinted onto a page. The only problem with what I have is that it only works for data being imprinted into a table unless it is a single item being imprinted, for which I have a seperate tag, and then it will. This does the trick for what I have going on now but what might be nice is to modify this so I can list the data delimited with br / or put in a li. I will work on this later. For the project I am working on I have done all that is required as far as the template goes. I will be able to use the template class in a number of other apps so I will be extending it. The biggest reason I am comming up with my own is because I want to be able to use it under any circumstance with no regard to any term or condition of any license and that my class is farily small with only a very very little chance of something breaking because I couldn't find some obscure documentation. I wanted to avoid What do you think? I may rethink what I have going on and put [[imprint]] and [[/imprint]] tags around the data itself and then everything will get parsed. I am trying to avoid that as it adds a few more key strokes. I am going to review the pear template classes some more and get some more ideas.

Re: [PHP] comment more than a question
HI Matt,
i
would get the unexpected $ on line two lines past the end of the script
error, I've figured out that actually means you are missing a closing } or
a few
also tonight, I was working on a script,
It will do this when you are missing a semi colon ; at the end of a
line. The error is happening when PHP is reporting it for example:
print going to the flea market?\n
print I am going to the flea marketbr\n;
The error is not happening until line two but the problem is that you
are missing a semicolon at the end of line one.
THe problem with misplaced braces } is that since they are normally
controlling the flow of the program the error could happen anywhere.
When I see an error that says something like unexpected T_PRINT I
look one or two lines above for a missing semicolon.
If a page of code has 90 lines and it says there is an error on 89 or
90 I start to count my {} pairs and see if I am missing one.
That is why I always do silly things like:
function test(){
do something;
do something else;
do more;
do even more;
hurry up;
move it;
get to work;
ok too much undo some work;
}//end function test()
This adds a few keystrokes but believe you me it sure saves a lot of
work when it comes to complex logic. You can then tell if you are
missing something. One of these days I am going to write a script to
analize my code for {} pairs and then it will tell me if one is
missing.
Once you get a good feel for where the error actually happens you will
be able to easily look back and find the problem.
Take care,
--

Re: [PHP] Text between two tags
HI, Hello I'm trying to extract some text between two tags: I am answering your question from the perspective that you are going to have more than one column that you want the data from. I would use this pattern and this code to test the pattern. ? $pattern=/(td align=\(.*)\ class=\(.*)\(.*)\/td)/; $text='td/td td align=right class=yfnc_tabledata3/td td/td td align=right class=yfnc_tabledata2/td td/td td align=right class=yfnc_tabledata11234/td td/td td/td td/td td align=right class=yfnc_tabledata5/td '; preg_match_all($pattern, $text, $matches); print_r($matches); ? This will give you: [0] = Array ( [0] = td align=right class=yfnc_tabledata3/td [1] = td align=right class=yfnc_tabledata2/td [2] = td align=right class=yfnc_tabledata11234/td ) [1] = Array ( [0] = td align=right class=yfnc_tabledata3/td [1] = td align=right class=yfnc_tabledata2/td [2] = td align=right class=yfnc_tabledata11234/td ) [2] = Array ( [0] = right [1] = right [2] = right ) [3] = Array ( [0] = yfnc_tabledata3 [1] = yfnc_tabledata2 [2] = yfnc_tabledata1 ) [4] = Array ( [0] = [1] = [2] = 1234 ) THen you can loop through $matches[4] and you will get all of the values in your row. $mathces[3] will give you your class names and $matches[2] will give you the alignment and $matches[1] will give you the whole td blah blah blah /td string. You could explode on tr and get each new row of your table in a new element in an array and repeat the process for your entire table. Do note that my regular expression will only return columns with a class name and align attribute. You can use $matches[0] elements if you are needing to replace what is there with other information. I hope this helps. Please let me know if it does what you are asking for as I am in need of good regular expression practice.

Re: [PHP] Regex for Amateur Radio Callsigns
HI Curt,
Thanks for the reply,
What does a amateur radio callsign look like? And in what context
are you trying to parse this callsign?
Basically here is the regex I used (I am not the best with regexes):
$pattern = /^[0-9]?[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9][A-Z]{1,3}/;
Here are how they look
W1W
W1AW
WA1W
AD4HZ
N9URK
WB6NOA
4N1UBG
I guess this would be better?
$pattern = /^;
$pattern .= ([0-9][A-Z][0-9][A-Z]{3})|; //4N1UBG
$pattern .= ([A-Z][0-9][A-Z]{1,3})|;//N9URK, W1AW, W1W
$pattern .= ([A-Z]{2}[0-9][A-Z]{1,3}); //WB6NOA, AD4HZ, WA1W
$pattern .= /;
I am still trying to master regexes. Is there a better way to do this?
THanks,

Re: [PHP] Regex for Amateur Radio Callsigns
HI Curt,
W1W
W1AW
WA1W
AD4HZ
N9URK
WB6NOA
4N1UBG
Ok, so i can conclude so far we have alpha numeric chars minimum of
3 chars up to 6, this would make a regex:
/[A-Z0-9]{3,6}/
The only problem with this is that it would take 444 which is not a
valid call.
$pattern = /^;
$pattern .= ([0-9][A-Z][0-9][A-Z]{3})|; //4N1UBG
$pattern .= ([A-Z][0-9][A-Z]{1,3})|;//N9URK, W1AW, W1W
$pattern .= ([A-Z]{2}[0-9][A-Z]{1,3}); //WB6NOA, AD4HZ, WA1W
$pattern .= /;
I am still trying to master regexes. Is there a better way to do this?
For one trying to master regex's you seem to have a good grasp on
it.
Thanks for the support. I think I can do regex's pretty well but I do
not have a mastery of them yet.
If this pattern works according to the specs of a callsign, it
should work fine. You could try to combine the regex into one
statment (without the | condition) but that would make the regex
rather ugly.
I am looking for a regex that I can use for both preg_split and
preg_match. I have not yet really learned how to do preg_splits yet.
I am still trying to figure out what in the world to do. I have done
some preg_splits and I know enought to know that if you have more than
one set of () that will return on an expression then it will royally
mess things up.
One thing i would suggest, although probably a minor issue
considering how long the string is, is to make sure you put the
most likely match in your first pattern to match.
Actually that is a good suggestion. I can see how it would make
things more efficent. Should you order the whole expression in terms
of how likely it is to get a result?
(i.e. /^(most)|(frequent)|(least)/)
Thanks for the help!

What you want to do is loop through each dir and then loop through each drawing and look for some pattern in the title block and then append the query info there.

Re: [PHP] CSS and TablesL
Since we are talking CSS and Tables one of the first things I do when I come across a site that is blatantly using CSS is to resize the text. I find that in about 80% of the cases the pages are not designed to handle resizing the text, which is a big pain. This is why I tend to stay with tables in a lot of my deisgn. I have done a few CSS things here and there but it takes too long to do it properly. That is one thing I notice is convieniently left out of the tutorials. If they don't know about ctl+ why would I waste time reading their tutorial? When I come across a tutorial on replacing tables with CSS I look to see if it mentions the user resizing the text. If I cannot find that I close the tab. What is the surefire way to have divs and spans that will resize along with the text?

[PHP] Sending plain text data in a table with mail()
Greetings,
I am having trouble with the following code. I am trying to make a table in
plain text to send via email. I get the data frm a MYSQL table and then put
it into an array. I find the max strlen and subtract each individual
customer name strlen from that and add that many spaces. Such that if Max
was 10 and a particular one was 3 it would add 7 spaces. It works fine most
of the time but my customer fwd me an email where it wasnt.
Can someone suggest a better way? I wonder if I have the cart in front of
my horse but Im not sure of any better way.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Leonard.

- Original Message -
From: Lowell Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've added an email feature to a content management system that will send
plain text email to about 1400 contact addresses. Each contact is sent a
separate email with the contact name and address in the To: header. It
works fine to small test lists, but hasn't been tested with a large list.
Although I think list posts should only pose one question, I have two:
(1) My client is nervous about the script failing mid-list and not being
able to determine which contacts were sent mail. I need to build this
check into the content management system. I could write a flag to the
database every time mail() returns true, but that would mean 1400
database
updates! If I instead append to a variable each time through the mail()
loop, I'll lose the record if the script times out. Can anyone suggest
how
to record the position in a loop if a time out or failure occurs?
(2) In order to avoid the script timing out, I'm counting the number of
mail() attempts and calling set_time_limit(30) every 50 attempts to
provide another 30 seconds of script execution time.
[snip]
In response to your first question. File stores are something a computer
does very very fast (might want to add some error catching to this)..
$i=0
while() {
count_index($i)
$i++;
}
function count_index ($i) {
$fp = fopen('count.txt', 'w');
fwrite($fp, $i);
fclose($fp);
}
Thanks, Kevin. I've put a counter in place within my mail loop. It seems to
slow the process, but perhaps not too much. And thanks to Mark McCulligh for
describing a system for sending about 1500 messages that's called with a
cron tab and writes to a db after each mail. And thanks to Chris Hayes for
pointing to relevant list archives. My system seems to be working, but it's
so slow that I'm going to look at using a cron tab and saving everything to
a database for easier reference in case of failure mid-list.

[PHP] Function to make a select box

In several scripts that I have written I have had to have a similar select
box. It will select from a table an auto number field and a name field
(like an id # and a customer name) and then it will display the name on the

Could anyone offer any suggestions? The following function prints a blank
select box.
function select_box($name, $table, $field, $value)
{
print select name=\$name\\n;
$result= select auto, '$field' from '$table' order by '$field' order by
name asc;
$result= mysql_query($result);
if ($result)

{
print selected;
}
print .$row[$field]./option\n;
}
mysql_free_result($result);
}
print /select/tdtd\n;
}
Here is a working example that is not in a function:
//Get Existing Accounts and put them in a select box
print select name=account\n;
$result= mysql_query(select * from ledger_accounts order by name asc);
if ($result)
{
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
print option value=.$row[auto];

Creating functions is a real easy part of programming. Classes are a differect story (or at least at first). Anyway, If I were you, I would get Professional PHP4 by Wrox and read the OOP section.

[PHP] Name Capitalization
HI Guys, Oops, I messed this request up. It should have read: For instance, McDonald needs to remain that way even if it comes in as MCDONALD, or mcdonald. probably any wheel out there is going to be fairly lame, yours included, no offence meant as to your skills, it's just that I believe the task is nigh on impossible - and I'm not the only one (to quote John Lennon). this was discussed on this list within the last 7 days. Yeah, nothing is a perfect solution but anything is better than nothing. Guys, Thanks for the replies and the link to the recent thread, even though that didn't discuss any solutions to the problem I am asking about (other than to point it out which helps because it points out a few of the name problems)! Would anyone care to work on this project together?

Re: [PHP] Name Capitalization
HI Chris, Here is one option. Make a long list (array) of search/replace pairs and loop through your text replacing as necessary. 'mcdonald' = 'McDonald' 'mcdowell' = 'McDowell' 'o\'reilly' = 'O\'Reilly' 'de la rosa' = 'De La Rosa' etc ad nauseum... I think the better solution would be some pregs that would go through and look for mc then have it turn the name into Mc then Capitalize the next letter. [same thing for mac] Then Do the same thing with O'Henry it would look for o\' then it would turn it into O' and capitalize the H. Let us know when you're done! :) This project shouldn't be that hard as there are probably only 10 to 15 rules for names.

Re: [PHP] Name Capitalization
HI Paul, Thanks for the reply. Applying capitalization rules to names by itself is easy. What defeats the effort is that there are no consistent rules for name capitalization, only inconsistent ones. What my case is that I have came across a list of names that I need to use and all of the names were in caps. From there anything is a step in the right direction. As you know, anytime you parse anything in bulk there will be exceptions to the rule. My goal would be to just pick the most common usage. If von Dielengan is supposed to be VonDielengan in one case or Von Dielengan in another is ok, it can be manually retouched later. The CPAN class that someone posted earlier has some good points except its not in PHP. I will be working on some code sometime over the next 3 to 5 days and might send it to you if you are willing to look at it. Also, this would be a good work around for those moogles that must use ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME ;). It could give them the choice to pick the right capitalization.

[PHP] CSS vs. Tables
HI All, From the CSS discussion of the WWE job posting thread. There is one question that shows that a table based layout in 99% of cases is superior to a CSS layout. Try resizing most any CSS based page. Tables are 99% of the time superior as it will resize properly whereas 99% of most CSS based pages will not resize properly. When 99% of CSS layouts overcome this lunacy then CSS will be better, but not until then. -- Leonard Burton, N9URK http://www.jiffyslides.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The prolonged evacuation would have dramatically affected the survivability of the occupants. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] A Tool For Building PHP Web Apps
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't there a few PHP code generators that did what the OP is asking? I remember hearing about Code Generation a few years ago, but that has been about it.

I object to the idea of including 15 or 30 files in a PHP application just to display one page on the internet. It makes the coding faster, but it makes the display slower and seems silly to me. So what if you had a tool or a set of tools where you could write code snippets and such, and then hit a button or issue a command, and everything you specified got written into a single file? You'd specify that this page needs to read the config, set up a database connection, validate these fields, etc. When you were done, it would write all this code to a *single* file, which the user would invoke by surfing to that page. The resulting code would be *static*, not like what results from most templating systems. So rather than specify a specific variable value in the resulting file, it would embed the PHP code to display the variable, etc. What might be the liabilities of something like that? Would there be security issues? Would there be increased difficulty in debugging? What can you think of? Programs to do that used to be called compilers. There is an entire branch of computer science and a lot of tools (lex, yacc, etc.) dedicated to that topic. I know compilers. I've coded in C for years. I'm not talking about a compiler here. It's more an aggregator. The resulting page would still be php/html, but everything needed in it would be self-contained (except the web server and PHP interpreter). Kind of like what make does, except that make typically invokes the compiler to mash it all into one executable at the end. It's not a bad idea, but there is one precarious assumption that underlies it. Can you absolutely guarantee there will never be a second, or third, or more pages on that server that will need some of those functions or classes? As soon as the site begins to evolve and grow, you will have multiple copies of many of those snippets, and when (not if) you need to modify them, you will have to find and change every single copy. So you need to ask yourself if this strategy is maintainable in your case. And will it make any real difference in the end? Good point. That's why I asked the question in the first place. Every time you revised a supporting file, you'd have to regenerate all the files that depended on it. Might be okay for a small site, but could be a nightmare for a large site. Paul -- Paul M.
