Subject: [PHP] OO question
I want to be able to override a function/method in a parent class, but then
call that function/method from within the overriden function in the child
class. The Zend documentation states you can do this:
In PHP 4.0 you can call member functions of other classes from within
member functions or from within the global scope. You can now, for instance,
override a parent function with a child function, and then call the parent
function from it.
But how do you do it? From the following syntax:
class childclass extends parentclass
..
function overridenFunction()
{
// call parent function wich this function overrides.
$this-overridenFunction()
...
}
Would the method being calling the parent method or would it be calling
itself?

RE: [PHP] Very interesting and challenging question
You could read the file in with file(), which will give you each line as an array. Then, depending on how those strings are separated (are they by tabs, or is it just whitespace?), use strtok() to tokenize each line. If they are by space, not tab, but you know the column width, then you can just pull out each part by using substr() or similar. For the non lap/time records, just check whether the string starts with a number or not, and if not check if it starts with the known labels, e.g. Caution Flags. -Original Message- From: Dan McCullough [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 9:01 AM To: PHP General List Subject: [PHP] Very interesting and challenging question I need to take a file, similar to this and strip it of everything but this, and write it to a database.

RE: [PHP] Re: Version Contol for PHP site
I'm maybe a little unclear on exactly what you want. It says Version Control in the subject, but then PHP debugging and such is discussed below. To me the two are independent subjects. So, some more general info... For version control I'd suggest either CVS or Perforce, depending on budget :) CVS is obviously free, and is quite good. You definitely want to run the server portion of it on a UNIX/Linux box, but you can use it quite easily from Windows with WinCVS or you can probably integrate CVS commands into your editor (depending on your editor/IDE). Perforce is a superb source code management tool, but it costs money (although it's price is reasonable). It has some nice features over CVS (such as the whole atomic checkin process, which once you use/work this way, you'll be bummed that they don't all have it - I heard CVS 2 may do this if that ever happens). You can get Perforce for free if you only have 2 (or less) users. It works very well on Windows and has a nice GUI. You can also run the server on Windows NT/2000. Just about any version control system will work for your PHP, HTML, CSS, and any other source code you have. Basically they're all text files, and that's where these systems work best because they can help with merges and diffing and obviously keep track of differences between revisions. You can do your development work on any platform and use typically UNIX/Linux or Windows for a server for source control, deployment, etc. Version control is just that, it is up to you how you employ it in terms of your development environment. I would think most people use it most strictly for version control, and have scripts on their staging and/or deployment system where they pull a snapshot of code down, do a build (which may be compiling CGI scripts, or may just mean copying the files to the appropriate place on the server), and then fire up the server. Your developers would do similar things, just on their own machine (I assume they have a similar environment setup as the deployment, e.g. they're running a web server with mod_php or whatever). Hope that helps. -Original Message- From: John Lim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 10:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: Version Contol for PHP site Hi Jeff There is a Windows version of WinCVS (see http://wincvs.org/ ).

Hello, I'm trying to come up with a workable solution to implement version control for our site. I have developers that use windows, and don't know too much about the unix command line, so I'd prefer to use a windows client to work on the site if possible. I'm looking into CVS for the version control and I've found some directions on how to use it with websites. But it only talks about static HTML development, it doesn't say how developers would debug PHP, CGI, etc. This solution would not give them any ability to debug their code before checking it back in. I suppose if I could get them all comfortable with the UNIX command line, they could work on the development server, checking out the files to a working directory that is also a virtual host. A new idea that I just came up with would be to have the developers use VNC viewer to connect to an X server on the development box. The deveopers could use a X GUI for CVS to check it out, and edit files etc. and keep the working directory a virtual host like above. Is anybody doing something like this with their PHP development?

So further to the question: How can I know the line and the file from where a function has called. I already know __FILE__ and __LINE__, but I don't want to transmit them in arguments. is there a debugging facility in PHP which displays a 'map' of which functions have called which? So for example, a script crashes at line_56 in file_fred.php, which is what we've all come to know and love; but I'd like to know that it got there by the mainline calling FnOpen(), which called FnInitialise(), which in turn called FnUncleTomCobbleighAndAll(), where some incompetent happily three layers down tried to share out the spoils by dividing by zero (or whatever)... Looking in the manual I started with: Chapter 8. Constants Predefined constants A constant is a identifier (name) for a simple value. As the name suggests, that value cannot change during the execution of the script (the magic constants __FILE__ and __LINE__ are the only exception). A constant is case-sensitive by default. By convention constants are always uppercase. but if these two are the only magic constants then I'm out of luck there. So I meandered through the PHPINFO and environment variables, but nothing stood up and popped me in the eye.

I'm wondering if there are any articles or other material describing how to design PHP web applications in a highly object oriented fashion? Specifically, object relational mapping, using classes for nearly everything (as appropriate), etc. The articles don't have to be PHP specific, but PHP's OO/class facilities leave a bit to be desired in comparison to say Java, so how this is done in PHP would be interesting. I've read a few PHP articles, a couple books, etc. on the typical (my impression) way of designing PHP web apps, where it's pretty much a 2 layer setup of UI and database, and there is no encapsulation/data hiding, and classes/objects aren't used much. Pointers to any material of this nature would be appreciated.

Did you enable the java extension? In your php.ini file, you need to enable the extension, and then also enable/properly set all the stuff in the [Java] section.

RE: [PHP] Re: PHP is a Bloated Kludge, discuss!
Ben, I think you hit on one of the key points of PHP in the latter part of your email. My take is that PHP is designed to be quick to learn, quick to use, and somewhat simple (not in a bad way). I agree that as compared to most languages, more than usual is packed into the base system. But, given the speed of PHP, and that these are likely heavily used pieces anyway, it doesn't seem so bad. I think once you step away from what's in the base PHP distro, then PHP is nearly as modular as anything else. As Oliver mentioned, you can use classes nicely (not as good as Java or Python, but not bad), and you can obviously split your code up into many files, include what you need, etc. I'm not clear on the comments about an include bringing in everything even if it's in an if that evaluates to false. Java is no better in this case really, and neither is C++ or various others. Also, PHP actually does have a way of only including something in a section of code that gets run (i.e. it's included at runtime, not parse time). This is the difference between include_once() and require_once(). So, if you only want something included if some expression evaluates to true, just stick an include_once() inside that expression's scope. If I misunderstood your comments about this, my apologies, and maybe you can elaborate here. -Original Message- From: Oliver Ruf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 8:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: PHP is a Bloated Kludge, discuss! Well about beeing modular... Have you ever programmed java ?? Java is very modular and everyting in java is programmed with classes. So... PHP also suports classes. Now you should be able to build your own modularity as you like it... Enough said... -Oliver [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Ben Edwards) wrote in [EMAIL PROTECTED]:">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: (From behind filing cabinet where I am ducking preparing for flames). Is it just me or is there anyone else that thinks PHP suffers from not being modular. Let me explain myself. If you write a module for a lot of procedural languages it sits on the filling system and is called up when it is needed , loaded into memory and executed. There maybe some cashing which happens but this is basically how it works. PHP on the other hand seems to load in ALL the code that MAY be run. i.e. an include brings things in which are inside an if, even if the if equates to false. This means that the language is not extendible in the way others are. If you do write a function you wish to include in 'only the pages you wish to use' you have to first include it, then call it. This has also meant that things like spell checking functions are built into the core module rather than called in as or when they are needed. Then there is the way database connectivity is handled. There are a load of functions (again in the core language) with there NAMES containing the name of the database you are connecting to. For example all MySQL functions are mysql_something and I guess all oracle ones are oracle_something. This would only be a minor inconvenience because wrapper functions can be written but from what I can gather different databases have different functionality available. I know this is partly because different databases have different functionality. what I would expect to see is a load of generic function which attempt to provide same functionality where it is available or implement some of the functionality themselves. Obviously for some of the less sophisticated databases these functions would have to do more work and maybe some functionality wouldn't be available in certain databases (but only the things like stored procedures). Got a nast feeling that ASP (spit) does something like this. You may cry, it cant be done. however I remember a connectivity product that came from Borland (this was back in the Paradox Days) which did just this, it even had transaction handling built into this connectivity layer for DBase! Anyway I am playing Devils Advocate. What I do like about PHP is how quickly it can be learnt and how quick you can build apps with it. Maybe this is at the expense of elegance. Maybe PHP5 will address these issues -;) And there are certainly some very busy PHP sites, you should see the traffic levels on indymedia.org during anti-capitalist demonstrations and I am sure during the New York attacks they went belistic.

RE: [PHP] A powerful editor!
I personally use Visual SlickEdit as my primary editor for almost any coding work. But, it's commercial. Having said that, in light of this being a PHP list, another one to throw out there is Active State's Komodo (which doesn't run on the Mac, so stick with BBEdit there - which is a superb choice :) Komodo is kinda interesting. It runs on Linux and Windows. It is good for PHP, Perl, Python, and ok for a few others. It's in an early state, but it's usable, and not half bad. It does all your standard syntax highlighting and such. But, it also has PHP debugging, and on the fly syntax checking which is pretty cool. Also, I think it was the editor that had this slick thing (well, I thought so anyway) where it drew vertical lines down to delimit blocks of code. i.e. it would draw a line from the first character of the opening line of a block (e.g. a for statement), to the closing line (usually the closing brace). It was pretty subtle, it's not a big black line. Another cool idea is that the blocks of code are collapsible (some other editors have this too, maybe even SlickEdit, but I haven't tried it). Anyway, for a 1.0, Komodo is quite good. As for why I use Visual SlickEdit, there are many reasons (after I've evaluated more editors, IDE's, and so on than I ever have should spent so much time on). But, a few of the highlights, for my needs include: - runs on Windows and Linux and looks and works identically - Edits any kind of code, and specifically has syntax highlighting and other language specific features for all the languages I use (Java, C/C++, Perl, Python, PHP, XML, sh, SQL, XSLT, etc.) - Extremely configurable. And, can be configured on a file type basis, which was important to me (e.g. to change things like tab or indentation settings per file type) - Can use an FTP connection just like a disk (e.g. open files and save files via FTP, but where it's pretty seamless to you). - Wheelmouse works (don't laugh! I'm addicted to the damn scroll wheel!) - Code beautifier. This is super handy when I run across a chunk of code that does not fit the coding standards/styles I need to use. I can just select it, and quickly run the beautifier (for which you can set up an unlimited number of styles for any needs you have, different styles for the same file/language types, different styles say if you have different coding standards at each company you work for (e.g. great for contractors/consultants). - And this email is already getting too long, and I'm furthering a potential religious debate on editors (hey, I don't use Emacs, and I only use vi/vim for quick stuff, so maybe we can avoid that debate ;) Anyway, it was well worth the money I spent on it... -Original Message- From: Michael A.

RE: [PHP] SOAP Tool Kit for PHP
You could also consider possibly the reverse of what you're doing. I'm not sure if it would actually work well, nor can I give you real details on how to do it, but you can always use Java classes from PHP. Depending on how much SOAP is needed/used across your site, you could continue with PHP for the bulk of your site, and just use Java classes to handle the SOAP stuff when needed. The primary issue I don't know about since I haven't looked into it, is whether it's reasonable to have PHP receive the initial SOAP request and how you would then hand it off to the Java classes for processing, etc. Anyway, just a thought... -Original Message- From: Dahnke, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 8:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] SOAP Tool Kit for PHP My god does PHP need one.

RE: [PHP] SOAP Tool Kit for PHP
Check out this page of SOAP implementations: http://www.soapware.org/directory/4/implementations It lists several for PHP, so those may give you a solution. This is an interesting issue though, especially in light of you bringing up Tomcat. I don't mean to start a big flame war over languages, but this is one thing I struggle with in PHP land too. I've been doing Java stuff for years, and am just starting to develop a few things in PHP. PHP is fast and easy to use, and a lot easier to setup than Tomcat (or worse, Apache+Tomcat, and further, if you have a non-standard directory structure). But, what I've found so far, is that if I need to do pretty much anything beyond a simple web app that is mostly a database client, Java just has so many more libraries and resources available, from SOAP, to XML, XSL, and more. While it's not true that PHP doesn't have any of this, it just seems there is more momentum and solidity behind these types of things for Java. For example, I'm working on a web app that does a lot of XSL processing, and immediately I can just grab the various Apache XML and XSL toolkits and get rolling. On PHP I can look into Sablotron and some stuff, but I don't get a feeling that I'd have near the level of functionality, and quality (or solidity/maturity of code) as I would with the various Java based tools. -Original Message- From: Dahnke, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 10:46 AM To: 'Chris Bailey' Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [PHP] SOAP Tool Kit for PHP Thanks.

[PHP] How to do Add More/expanding forms?
I have a page that is for a little recipe database app. On the page where you enter your recipe, there is a set of form fields for ingredients - one line per ingredient, and a couple of fields per (e.g. amount, measurement, ingredient). I'd like to have say 5-10 ingredient lines in the form by default, but put an Add More button next to the last one that will let the user say add 5 more ingredient lines to the form. How can I do this? The problem for me is that I figure I'd want the Add More button to either do a POST to the same page (and add a parameter indicating the number of ingredient lines to use or something like that), but that the standard form Submit/Add Recipe button would go to a different PHP page that actually inserted the recipe into the database. But, this requires two forms and thus I'd lose the recipe's form variables when hitting one or the other of the buttons. I've looked around online for solutions to this, but haven't found any. Can someone point me in the right direction?
