[PHP] Debugging
Understanding that some coders are diametrically opposed to all assistance from debuggers as crutches, I offer this link for the rest of us: http://particletree.com/features/php-quick-profiler/ Mine was pointing to the wrong folder and still has some warnings so I think these guys might have hurried a bit but it still looks awfully cool.
Re: [PHP] Multiple return statements in a function.

I tend to put my return value in a variable and at the end of the

I have seen others doing returns in the middle of the function.
Example how I do it:
function check($a) {
$return='';
if ( is_array( $a ) ) {
$return='Array';
} else {
$return='Not Array';
}
return $return;
}
Example of the other method:
function check($a) {
if ( is_array( $a ) ) {
return ('Array');
} else {
return ('Not Array');
}
}
What is your take? And is there any benefit to either method?
It's only about style and coding logic. In essence, all the return does
is pop the previous IP off the stack and adjust the stack pointer. It
doesn't matter where you do that.

That's an interesting subject that I've never considered.
I usually return immediately. For me, it makes the code easier to
read. I work with a number of other coders here and, if the result
isn't returned then I have to keep reading through the code to make
sure nothing else is done with it. However, when I see the 'return'
then I know we're done there.
That said, I often see questionable coding practices in use at work.
I follow this list (and try to read books about the technologies I
use) because I intend to develop good practices for myself. That in
mind, if anybody feels strongly about doing it the other way, I'd be
interested in understanding its benefits.

Re: [PHP] alt() - unknown function?
This is someplace where NetBeans really benefits me. You can hit CTRL-B, or
right-click, to take you to a definition. Holding CTRL turns darned-near
everything into a hyperlink, doing the same thing.
Lastly, CTRL-SHIFT-F lets you search through every file in the project for
your string.
Finding nothing with those, I'd grep the whole stinkin' drive and go grab a
coffee. :)

Hi all,
I've just started looking at the code of an e-commerce site we are taking
over the development of, that another company has previously developed .
Coupled with the difficulty of taking over development of someone else's
code (also poorly commented), I've been stumped by a fatal error on a
function call alt() which is dotted everywhere in the main templating
script
(sample below):
// Get/Set a specific property of a page
function getPageProp($prop,$id=) { return
$this-PAGES[alt($id,$this-getPageID())][$prop]; }
function setPageProp($prop,$val,$id=) {
$this-PAGES[alt($id,$this-getPageID())][$prop]=$val; }
It looks to be defining properties for a list of pages, with each page
providing its own PageID.
I've never seen this function before, nor can I find any definition of it
in
the site code, I was wondering if anyone recognises this, is it from a
thirdparty templating tool at all?
Thanks
-Tom
I think that you should check the included files (require, require_once,
include, include_once) in case it is defined somewhere in there. Another
possibility I can think of is to be defined in a framework that you use.
You can check the user and internal functions using the
get_defined_fumctions():

Re: [PHP] Proper code formatting
Well, I was pondering making a recommendation, of sorts. I work in an environment with various levels of coders, perhaps similar to your description. Currently, there are no standards that I have seen. We all are bringing our coding habits with us. I don't know if it is important that I like lower case variable names with underscores for spaces while the next guy likes each letter of a new word in uppercase. However, I can imagine it getting out of control as the code continues to grow.

I actually just went through this wit ha group of people that come from all different levels and back grounds in regards to programing. Trying to decide whether to use spaces, or tabs, short hand or long hand... It took quite a bit of discussion before we arrived at an agreement... It really didn't matter what format we used as long as we stayed consistent throughout the file. In other words, if you are going to edit a file and it uses spaces instead of tabs, use spaces So absolutely, develop some standards if you are going to have multiple coders working on it... But they don't have to be set by someone else... Personally though, I go for readability it may at times take longer to write it out, but since we all type 500 words permit with 100% accuracy it won't be a problem right? ;) And then when you go back to the code in 6 months, a year, 2 years...

Re: [PHP] /home/{user}/directory
My question was, as usual, inadequately formed.
Realpath() was interesting but I was creating directories to store archived
data. In my limited testing, it seemed that realpath returns a relative
path. Other words, if you're already in home and you try
(realpath(~).\archive\) then you get only \archive\.
In test situations, I wanted to allow for the user to not be me. It ended
up that I used GETCWD() so that it will run from anywhere that it can find
the required includes.
Nevertheless, the answers given enabled me to find a solution. I found all
kinds of interesting stuff with a var_dump($GLOBALS), however. :)
As always, thanks everybody!

[PHP] Script execution
Hi everybody. The problem that I'm having is probably because I've got more of a Windows background -- and it isn't so much a problem as a point of curiosity. I've recently noticed that when I write a script that they seem to have different permissions when executed at the command line. Two that I have written recently run just fine when you execute 'php scriptname.php' but they are unable, at least, to write the data if I browse to them on localhost. Am I imagining things? If not, how would I properly make them able to run through a browser? Thanks! G
Re: [PHP] Script execution
Thanks everybody! I guess I was a little vague. I'm working on an OpenSUSE setup with Apache, MySQL and PHP. I just knew that my confusion was because of my Windows up-bringing. The writing I referred to was to a file. One example is I had a script that was pulling data from a database and using it to generate PDF files. This would work fine from the command line but _not_ if I pointed a browser at it. It wasn't an important difference because that script is a cronjob anyway. I just wanted to understand what was going on and how I could change it -- if I find later that I need to. Again, that's for the rapid and thorough help!

If not, how would I properly make them able to run through a browser? You're not imagining things. In general, unless set up with SuExec privileges, Apache (which is probably the HTTP server you're using) will run as 'nobody,' 'apache,' 'www,' or 'daemon.' If you can't configure it to SuExec (check Google for some ideas on this you'll need root access), you could use the less-secure (this, not recommended) options of changing the file mode permissions to 0777 or change the file ownership (if you have the right permissions yourself) to be owned by the same user and/or group as which Apache runs. It may sound a little confusing at first glance, but it's really not. Just keep in mind that UNIX and Linux (Mac and similar OS'es fall in here, too) are simultaneous multi-user systems, meaning that many users (including virtual users that the system uses as aliases for individualized permissions) can be logged in and run processes concurrently. OP is a Windows user. I am assuming that they are using Windows. George, if you are using IIS as your web server, PHP will be executed (by default, anyway) under the IUSR_your computer name user account (pre-Vista). The directories and files your PHP script will need to mess with should be given the appropriate permissions as related to that user. HTH, -- // Todd

But why the obsession with avoiding getcwd()? When my site is loaded the current directory is always the root directory of the page, and as I never change directory I can rely on it staying there. (And, incidentally, since getcwd(), dirname(__FILE__), etc, all return the complete path including system dependent information, if I really didn't know the current directory it would not be a trivial task to determine what was the local root.) For a couple of years I have been using getcwd() to determine whether or not I am running on my local PC (if I am the path will start with 'D:'). If I am running on the local PC I load various editing and other private facilities, otherwise I omit them.

Re: [PHP] Backend autodatabase update
There are a lot of ways to tackle that problem but everything coming to mind involves third-party software. You can use Sysinternals PsListhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896682.aspx( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896682.aspx) to look for your process. If the process is not found then start it. One approach would be to create a batch file that uses PsList piped to find (e.g. 'pslist.exe | find My Process) and start it if not. The scheduler might satisfy your needs but I have used VisualCron http://www.visualcron.com/ ( http://www.visualcron.com/) for complex scheduling. If you wrote the process that is running then you could make it check for existing instances of itself and shut down if it is already running. Then you could schedule it to start every 30 minutes because it will just close if the first one is still running.

Re: [PHP] PHP includes
Right. There are several advantages to using included files. You can write routines that you're going to use repeatedly and just include the file with the code, instead of re-inventing the wheel, as they say. Consistency is another advantage. So, if you design your header, sidebar and footer and just include them then you don't need to edit every stinking page on your site when you want to make a change. There's a handful of include-type statements. Include, include_one, require, require_once, etc. I'd read about those four before making a choice about which to use.
