Re: [PHP] Object Array?
I have an object from using simpleXML and inside that object is an array holding even more objects. However, it's not acting like an array and therefore I can't go through it. (i.e. I can't use the count function to see how big it is and loop through it) This below should be an array: $xml-RES-R When I use print_r($xml-RES) I get the below. As you can see [R] = Array but yet in the above example it is an object. I'm so confused and lost. Can anyone help? PHP version 5.0.4 SimpleXMLElement Object ( [M] = 2010 snip [R] = Array ( [0] = SimpleXMLElement Object ( [U] = http://.../benefits/ snip ) [1] = SimpleXMLElement Object ( [U] = http://.../benefits/benefits_websites.html snip ) [2] = SimpleXMLElement Object ( [U] = http://www..com/jobs//benefits.html You are right: $xml-RES-R is an array. If it doesn't act like an array, you might try assigning it to a new variable. Maybe something like this: $MyArray = $xml-RES-R; print_r($MyArray); Others might have better ideas. Keep trying. --J I've tried that even going so far as doing: $MyArray = array(); $MyArray = $xml-RES-R print_r($MyArray); I still run into the same problem. Hm. jay
Re: [PHP] Object Array?
I tried with no success yesterday to get an answer to this question so I'll
try again.
I have an object from using simpleXML and inside that object is an array
holding even more objects. However, it's not acting like an array and
therefore I can't go through it. (i.e. I can't use the count function to
see
how big it is and loop through it)
use foreach on it (I think 'it' is a weirdo object that implements an
iterator
interface - which pretty much sums up simpleXML ;-):
foreach ($xml-RES-R as $r) {
echo $r-U, $r-UD; // etc
}
does that get you anywhere?
what happens when you do:
foreach ($xml-RES-R as $key = $r) {
echo $r-__toString();
// or
echo $key;
}
?
That actually works. Strange because I tried this method first yesterday
and spent over an hour trying to get it to work and now it's working? AH!
:) Below is the code I use.
foreach ($xml-RES-R as $key = $r) {
echo $r-U.'br';
echo $r-UD.'br';
echo $r-UE.'br';
echo $r-T.'br';
echo $r-RK.'br';
echo $r-S.'br';
echo $r-LANG.'br';
echo 'hr';
}
I've tried that and $xml-RES-R only goes through one record
$xml-RES-R[0] and then it stops. What I did find that worked was this.
in what way does it stop?
$i = 0;
while (isset($xml-RES-R[$i]) || !empty($xml-RES-R[$i]) {
// do stuff
$i++;
}
odd. I don't suppose $xml-RES-R has any methods does it? like hasChildren()
or
hasAttributes()?
[PHP] Reading large files via PHP?
I'm reading in a 66MB file into php so I can parse it and load it into a
database. However, it is taking a long time for php to read the file. So long
that the script times out. I know about the ini_set(max_execution_time, 120)
or whatever length I want to set the time out for the script, but my question
is as follows.
Is it possible to read in a file and at the same time echo out a status of how
far along the file has been read?
The code I have right now is below. Just wondering if what I'm trying to do is
possible and how to do it.
// set script timeout
ini_set(max_execution_time, 120);
// import file name
$log_file_name = access_log.1;
echo Reading access log!br/;
if (!$ac_arr = file(./$log_file_name)) {
echo Couldn't load access log!;
die;
}
Thanks!

Even if you get around the execution time the above code is going to use
up 66megs of memory to store that file in $ac_arr.
You'd be much better off doing something like:
$fd = fopen(./$log_file_name, r);
while ( !feof($fd) ) {
$buf = fread($fd, 32768);
// process buffer here
}
fclose($fd);
That will let you do your progress thing as well as not eat up so much
memory. Play around with values of 32768 to see if smaller or larger
makes any different on your system.
Good luck!
Ahhh.. Okay that's very cool and I did not know that. I knew that it was
chewing up a lot of memory reading it all at once.
I guess the only thing I have to worry about now is if I do a read like that
will it truncate a whole line instead of getting the whole line? The reason
why I ask is that if possible I would rather have it read line by line for X
lines and then process that buffer then go and grab more lines until end of
file. Is that possible?
RE: [PHP] Is there a way to display data from database for SelectOptions in a form?
[snip]Let's look at it another way, why 70-80 lines of code when 4 will do it properly when done correctly?[/snip] I agree with this line of thinking especially for a new person to php. When I first read the solution that was so long I thought to myself great and this person is new to php and now they are going to be scared of php. I really think one of the appeals of php is it's simplicity of getting things done and getting those things done quickly. Yes it's great having one function to output every select html form but is it really necessary?

RE: [PHP] SOAP Problems SOLVED!
I got it to work! What I had to do is make an associtive array with the keys
being the name of the params that needed to get passed to the 'execute' method
that it was calling via soap. Or conversely you could write the $params as
objects instead of an array.
Code below:
$params[From] = 06/01/2005; // also can use $params-From = date;
$params[to] = 12/31/2005; // also can use $params-to = date;
$client = new SoapClient(some.wsdl, array(trace = 1, exceptions = 0));
try {
print($client-execute($params));
} catch (SoapFault $exception) {

You could use the isset() or the empty() functions.

[PHP] PHP and SOAP newbie questions
I recently got handed a project that requires me to use PHP to talk to a WSDL SOAP service. I'm not new to PHP but I am new to SOAP. I have the basic idea of how SOAP works but still have a few questions I am hoping you all can answer for me. Which library would be better to use? NuSOAP or PEAR's SOAP library? Someone else is writing the WSDLs that I need to access. Does this mean that I just have to use a SOAP client to access the information or would I need to make a SOAP server? I guess what I'm asking is what is the difference between a SOAP client and a SOAP server? Lastly, do you all know of any good online tutorials I could check out that google may not suggest? Thanks! Jay
[PHP] Included php files in a cron job?
I'm in the process of writing a PHP program that is going to be called once a week via a cron job. I don't have a place to really test this hence the reason why I'm asking about it here. My question is can my php program include other php files and still get executed correctly when the cron job runs? For example: #!/path/to/php ?php require_once($file); //do something ? Will the code in $file work correctly when the cron job executes the php file that has something simular to what I have above? Thanks!
[PHP] Converting IP Address to int value?
I'm in the process of parsing through a apache access_log file and putting the
information into a database. Right now I have the ip addresses going into a
database as a character format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and then later I'm creating my
queries to search for ip addresses xxx.xxx.%, which I think is really
ineffecient. Therefore, I wanted to add a new field in my database which would
be just an int value and have php convert the ip address to an int for database
insertion. Then have an sql query that would just convert that int back into
an ip address if I needed. My ultimate goal is to be able to write a query
simular to this:
SELECT * FROM Apache_Stats WHERE int_ip BETWEEN INET_ATON('xxx.xxx.0.0') AND
INET_ATON ('xxx.xxx.255.255')
Is there a function in PHP that will convert the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ip address to
the same number that INET_ATON() is converting it to? I know about ip2long()
but in the PHP docs it doesn't convert right unles you use the printf(%u...)
function.
Thanks!
[PHP] Parsing through an Apache Log File?
Hello everyone! I've been given the responsiblity of coding an apache
access_log parser. What my tasks are to do is to return the number of hits for
certain file extensions that happen on certain dates with specific IP address.
As of now I'm only going back 7 days in the log looking for this information
and I'm only looking for 5 file types (.doc, .pdf, .html, .php, and .flv). I'm
using the fgets() function so I can read the file line by line and do the
matches that I need to do and increment the counters as needed. Right now I
have 3 loops looking for everything, which seems to me not to be the best way
of doing this. I've also encountered that a line may have the file extension I
want but it's actually the soucre of another file. (see below for example)
Log file example:
I want the first line but not the second line. The second line has a .css file
which was used by the .html file therefore I don't want this line. I do want
the first line that all it has is .html and no other files.

At any rate, here's some of my psudo code/code for what I'm trying to
accomplish. I know there has to be a better way for this and I'm looking for
suggestions!

$dates = array();
$days = 7;
for ($i=1;$i=$days;$i++) {

I know there has to be a better way for this and I'm looking for suggestions! snip Save yourself a ton of work. Dump the raw logs into a db, and you can do all the queries on the db.

I can see the advantages of putting the raw log file into a database but I would still need to parse the file and get the information out of it for each column. I'm also not quite sure what some of your feilds are for 'rfcIdentity'?? What is that? Why would I need an 'apacheUser' also? Anyway, not too sure how I would get this information in an easy way for the massive amounts of inserts I would have to do on a 10 meg log file. jay

Jay Paulson (CE CEN) wrote: Hello everyone! I've been given the responsiblity of coding an apache access_log parser. What my tasks are to do is to return the number of hits for certain file extensions that happen on certain dates with specific IP address. As of now I'm only going back 7 days in the log looking for this information and I'm only looking for 5 file types (.doc, .pdf, .html, .php, and .flv). I'm using the fgets() function so I can read the file line by line and do the matches that I need to do and increment the counters as needed. Right now I have 3 loops looking for everything, which seems to me not to be the best way of doing this. I've also encountered that a line may have the file extension I want but it's actually the soucre of another file. (see below for example) Log file example: I want the first line but not the second line. The second line has a .css file which was used by the .html file therefore I don't want this line. I do want the first line that all it has is .html and no other files. 10.25.40.64 - - [01/Jan/2006:07:33:18 -0600] GET /home.html HTTP/1.1 200 8220 - Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) 10.25.40.64 - - [01/Jan/2006:07:33:18 -0600] GET /styles/redesign.css HTTP/1.1 200 2381 http://wfmu.wfm.pvt/home.html; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) At any rate, here's some of my psudo code/code for what I'm trying to accomplish. I know there has to be a better way for this and I'm looking for suggestions! snip Save yourself a ton of work. Dump the raw logs into a db, and you can do all the queries on the db. Something like this... I took your idea and did a search on Google and found that this has already been done for me! Check it out! http://www.php-scripts.com/php_diary/012103.php3 Very cool :) jay
RE: [PHP] Parsing through an Apache Log File?
If this is just a one time thing you're looking to do, all of this may be over the top. However, if the bosses are going to want to review this data month in and month out, I think the time spent doing something like this will be worth it. As of now I've got it working and inserting the data into the database! I did see your code and since you are being so generious as to let me use it I'll probably tweak it (a very little bit!) as we are going to be using this script once a week to read the log files. We are using it to get some numbers out of it so make our own custome stats thing based off of a lot more numbers that included this as part of the number getting. Thanks so much for your help! jay
