So - the include method still works, as would the single script 'controller' method. Within a php script any file is accessible (within your domain at least) and may therefore be included and execute. I want to throw in a caveat here, and that is the open_basedir directive, wbicb limits where you can include files from. On the other hand, if you must have the target script in your web-accessible tree, simply establish some kind of security handler and add logic to your page(s) to check permissions before displaying anything. This handler could be based upon session vars, cookies, db entries (my pref). Once established it can be a universal addition to any and all of your appls. My personal method is to create a db table containing an appl name, page name, and a non-unique security level (I use an integer). Then have an admin screen for creating userids for an appl with multiple recs each containing a security level for that user for that appl. Then have a signon method that validates credentials and builds a session array containing all the user's security levels. In every page that I want secured, I call a function with that script's internal pagename and appl name and confirm that the page's sec level is contained in the user's session array. I also have a master level (99) that if present gives global access for myself as administrator. There's a bit more to it, but that's my security method. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I would simply place my redirect.php script outside of the
web-accessible tree. The user can never type that uri into his browser
and have it work.
I always see this answer a lot but never any sample code of how to include
that file using require_once() or include_once().
It would be nice to know the exact syntax of inclusion of such files.
Say, for example if I put the login/redirect .php file 3-4 levels up from my
webroot.
Okay, first off, your application *has* to have some entry point that
*is* accessible to a browser; otherwise nothing will find it.
THe include/require(_once) directives take as an argument a file path
including file name, there is no requirement they be in the same
directory or lower as the calling file.
So let's take this as a example:
Application/webroot/index.php
Application/includes/redirect.php
Application/includes/login.php
index.php:
?php
session_start();
if (valid_user($_SESSION['current_user'])) {
include_once(../includes/redirect.php);
} else {
include_once(../includes/login.php);
}
?
This the so-called single script entry style for designing your app. A
consequence of this is that it makes bookmarking a bit different. One
example of this is the PmWiki application. Everything runs through the
main script (in this case it's called pmwiki.php instead of index.php,
but that's immaterial here). Pages in the wiki are given on the path,
such as: http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PmWiki, which makes it
bookmarkable and work in the browser history. Others may not; it all
depends on what you want.

If you are breaking down the csv record into fields before adding it to the db, then it would be simple to take the 'key' fields and check your database before adding each record, no? While not strictly a PHP operation, you can compare two files and just get the new lines in the second file using the comm(1) command in shell: $ comm -1 -3 file1 file2 will simply emit the lines in file2 that are not in file1 If you keep around the last file loaded, and compare it using the above command with the newest file, you'll just have the new records to import. Then keep the newest file to compare with the next newest one.

That's how I get the I put file name. I think that I need the if statement

That's how you pass the name into the php script; how does $inputfile
get set (via $argv somehow) once you're inside php?
This line:
$inputline = fread($inputfile, filesize($argv[1]));
Somehow, you opened $inputfile (assuming via fopen) by passing it a
file name, presumably off the command line. Show me(us) where that
happens.

After all this, the OP remains unenlightened. This is just a waste of time. You are doing this wrong. There are existing tools that do what your client wants. A command line tool is not the same as the php library. are all met with I don't want to learn, just tell me what isn't working. Too bad.
Re: [PHP] mysql_connect noob question
No, that's for writing safe html output.
If the user or password contains special chars, sending them through
htmlspecialchars would turn them into html entities. i doubt you want that.
I'm at a loss here. The only thing Ican think of is to try something like
this at the top of the script:
?php
error_reporting(-1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
header(Content-type: text/plain);
var_dump($_POST);
exit;
?
and see precisely what is being passed in from your form.

The host value is set and working. If I hard-code the user and password
values in the mysql_connect() call and leave the host value as is, it
connects fine. Only passing the user and password from the form cause it
to fail.

First guess is that you don't have privileges for
'user'@'ip70-162-142-180.ph.ph.cox.net', but you may have privileges
for
'user'.
And, what are you using for the $host value? If the script and mysql
are on
the same server, it shouldn't need to be anything other than
'localhost'.
Do your user or password contain spaces, thereby requiring quotes in
your call?

Hi tamouse, with my untrained eye - it appears that this is what is 'sending out' $data = sendXMLviaCurl($xmlRequest,$gatewayURL); This is the sending and receiving -- the function uses curl to send your xml request and returns the response from that. and this might be what is 'responding back' on the same page $gwResponse = @new SimpleXMLElement((string)$data); $data contains the response, this is how you are processing it. Skipping the long and monolithic code, what I will suggest is that you break things up into modules, functions and procrdures, and write unit tests that will check each piece seperately. After you've verified that each step is working, then you can start to integrate the pieces, following the stricture of keeping code (logic), data, and presentation seperate. It is much easier to deal with debugging when your code is simple and does only one thing. Break out the part you are asking here about, the API call. Build up a viable test request that will get you a known response and make sure you are getting what you expect. My suspicion is that the response here isnot what you expect.

If you need to do same thing across a number of pages, you probably have found a spot to refactor your code.

thx.
A.
Ok i can write an include_once('myfile.php');
however if i have an array in this file, other files where is the
include_once(); do not recognize the array.
here is an extract of this file to include (submenu.php):
?php
$submenu = array();
$submenu[] = array('id' = 1,'class'='menuitem1');
$submenu[] = array('id' = 2,'class'='menuitem2');
// function in the same file
function DisplayMenu($title){
// here i do not have access to the previous array $submenu define
outside the function
...
}
as it is included the function DisplayMenu should also have access to
$submenu array, no ?
basic php question. Variables within any function are local to that
function (except for superglobals like $_POST, $_SESSION, etc.). In order
to reference a var defined/used outside that function you must add a global
statement in the function:
function ()
{
global $submenu;
...
...
}
I solve my problem creating a class and now it works well.
Probably the best solution. As you asked the question here, it would
be nice to share your solution so others with a similar problem can
benefit.

test whether it is convertible to an intger !
any suggestion ?
BR georg
You could use is_numeric for that, though it also accepts floats.
- Matijn
for that type of test I have always used this:
if ( $val == (int)$val ) {
http://www.php.net/manual/en/**language.types.integer.php#**
language.types.integer.castinghttp://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php#language.types.integer.casting
I hope you're not serious about this...
When comparing a string and an int, PHP will translate the string to int
too, and of course they will always be equal then.
So:
$a = abc;
if($a == (int)$a) echo YES;
else echo NO;
Will always return YES.
- Matijn
H... Interesting. Looking back at my code base where I thought I was
doing that, turns out the final results were not that, but this:
$value = asdf1234;
if ( $value === (string)intval($value) ) {
Looking back at the OP's request and after a little further searching,
it seems that there might be a better possible solution for what the OP
is requesting.
?php
$values = array(asdf1234, 123.123, 123);
foreach ( $values AS $value ) {
echo $value;
if ( ctype_digit($value) ) {
echo ' - is all digits';
} else {
echo ' - is NOT all digits';
}
echo 'br /'.PHP_EOL;
}
returns...
asdf1234 - is NOT all digits
123.123 - is NOT all digits
123 - is all digits
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ctype-digit.php
An important note:
This function expects a string to be useful, so for example passing in
an integer may not return the expected result. However, also note that
HTML forms will result in numeric strings and not integers. See also the
types section of the manual.

Integers can be negative too: I suspect your test would reject a leading
'-'...
For my money, `is_numeric()` does just what I want.
The thing is, is_numeric() will not check if a string is a valid int, but
any valid number, including a float.
For something like this, wouldn't a regex be better?
if(preg_match('/^\-?\d+$/', $string))
echo int
Thanks,
Ash
http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
That is so about is_numeric(), but once I know it's a numeric, coercing it
to just an int is easy. *Validating*, rather than just assuring, that a
string is an integer is another matter; if you need to give feedback to the
user, etc., in which case a Regex is better.
(One small nit, + is possible on integers, too.)

My understanding is that the new form attribute on input lets you put an input tag *outside* any forms, and use the form= attribute to indicate which form it should go with. I think this may be more useful for mobile web apps than desktop browser apps. It doesn't let you copy a form element from one form to another. If you have multiple forms on one page, and want to submit data that is placed in one form with another one, you will have to do that with JS/jQeury. I don't have a ready example, but the basic concept is: * capture the form submit using an onclick * which calls a function that can gather up all the information from the other forms, and * build hidden form elements on the fly for the form you want to submit, and * then programmatically perform the submit This seems interesting enough that I might do up a tutorial on it when I have some time.

Instead of just throwing an exit here, and giving the user a blank

In this case, the From: header needs to correspond to an RFC2922

omit the brackets. All the additional headers specified in the fourth

setup:
$AdditionalParms = From: \$Name\ $EmailAddress\r\n;

$success = mail ($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, $AdditionalParms);

non-alnum+space characters, i.e., something like this would be
allowed:
From: Samuel L. Jackson, Jr. sammyj...@example.com
However, in this case, the email is NOT actually being sent from
$EmailAddress, it is being sent from your server, so putting in that
address is technically a spoof. While that's not illegal, some mailing
systems will call that a spam message, as the From and Sender do not
match, and From won't be found at the originating mail node.

56 // redirect to success page
57 if ($success){
58 print meta http-equiv=\refresh\
content=\0;URL=thanks.html\;
59 }
60 else{
61 print meta http-equiv=\refresh\

Well, it depends...
For example, if you use code similar to the inlined function example,
there is a difference. In that example, the inlined code runs almost
twice as fast.
?php
$a = 1;
$b = 2;
$start = microtime();
for ($i = 0; $i 1; $i++) {
$result = ($a $b $a % 2 !== 0) ? $a : (($b % 2 !== 0) ? $b : (($a
% 2 !== 0) ? $a : null));
}
$runtime = microtime() - $start;
echo $runtime;
?
?php
function maxodd($a, $b)
{
return ($a $b $a % 2 !== 0) ? $a : (($b % 2 !== 0) ? $b : (($a %
2 !== 0) ? $a : null));
}
$a = 1;
$b = 2;
$start = microtime();
for ($i = 0; $i 1; $i++) {
$result = maxodd($a, $b);
}
$runtime = microtime() - $start;
echo $runtime;
?
That said, there's tremendous variance across the possible range of
function types (e.g., number of args, complexity of function, etc.),
so there's no guarantee you'll always see a worthwhile (which is also
subjective) improvement. I'm going to use inlining for functions that
output html-escaped output (the function wraps htmlspecialchars to
allow whitelisting), as they're frequent and simple, the very type of
function that is easily inlined and provides some speed benefit.
In terms of the templating, in my tests using siege comparing
Dreamweaver Templates vs PHP includes, I've typically seen significant
benefits when the template requires multiple includes, with the effect
dropping off as the number of includes approaches 0. These results
should be the same. Again, there seems to be a broad range of
considerations (in terms of using APC, using absolute paths helped the
include performance:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/apc.configuration.php#ini.apc.stat)
There are usually bigger ways to enhance performance (data
persistence, etc.), but in the same way that I try to teach my little
girls to turn off the faucet in between spitting into the sink even
though monitoring showers can do much more to save water, when I see
simple ways I can consistently save cycles, I try to implement them :)

Awesome. Not unsuspected, but still awesome. I know some site schemes
that do a lot of nested templating; and from my work on rails,
rendering a site with tons of partials (the same sort of thing) can
really slow page loads down. I know Smarty caches the compiled
templates automatically, and refreshes if a given template changes
from the cached version, and this does speed things up somewhat, but
it doesn't actually do the full up staticify (if i may be so bold!)
like this.

Have you considered setting this up in wordpress? On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 5:14 PM, Barry Smith scs.bns...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, Jim, and tamouse, Apologies for the length of this response. I am asking for help organizing the rewrite of the site, from a LOT of HTMLs that have 90% in common, containing a couple of php links to do a php mail form and command, and an article... to a template-article-footer format. I am having a problem visualizing how I need to proceed (from the highest level), so I was asking for opinions on how to organize the index.php plus template.php plus home.article design... at the highest level. From the sounds of it ( I didn't bother to un-zip his file) it appears that he just wants to create a model template and fill in the center (the 'article'?) appropriately depending upon the user's request That is basically the project. I have used Joomla for sites like this before, but the business owner is not tech-savvy (not a power-user) in the least. Setting up Joomla for her site, teaching her how to navigate Joomla to modify articles, and giving her the access to the articles that she wants access to is WAY beyond what she is capable of and REALLY overkill for this small website. Besides, she could destroy the whole site as Joomla admin or a Joomla user very easily. She wants access to some of the articles, ONLY to change the wording of some articles (the article on the about page and the home page, and maybe a specials page yet to be designed) but I am trying not to giving her the ability to destroy the whole site because she has access to. I want to place .article files in a folder, and let her work on the articles. I can build a default article into the PHP if the document that she edits gets deleted. Yet she's a smart business owner... if i have access to the articles to change them and I mess up, I don't want the website to disappear was how she expressed it to me. The other wrinkle (at a programming level) is that she wants a header in every email that the website sends to the company, to track which link was clicked. I'm thinking that (as an example of the changes that I need to make to the files contained in the zip )-- I. index.html would require index.php. 1) index.php would define variables for that page, i.e. a var building=index or about or services or products, and then include template.php, a home.article file, and a footer.php . 2) template.php would use the building value to build each custom header and left column and right column. Within the header, it would use the variable building to send a label that identifies building and another value header to contact.php (see more about contact.php later). Programatically, template.php will highlight tab buttons at the top of the page (if they need to be highlighted) and menu buttons in left column (if they need to be highlighted) dependent on the value of building, and in column 2 choose the correct list of buttons to display in a vendor list dependent on the value of building. 3) footer.php would use the building value to build each custom footer for the page. Within the footer, it would use the variable building to send a label that identifies building and another value footer to contact.php (see more about contact.php later). II. contact.php will bring up an email form, use the label passed in to create a custom header to insert into the php mail command/function. III/IV/V/VI. Each HTML in the site will have an associated php that calls template, grabs any appropriate .article file, calls footer. Does that structure make sense? Are there gotchas, things to verify and watch out for that you have run into doing similar projects? As a past for this design procedure, I worked on a sales agent site years ago that did a similar build each page dependent on logged.in.user ... but the control for this project is not logged.in.user in this project... the control is page.being.built .

This will never work. Your last array will always overwrite your previous
array.
Here is how I would suggest building it:
$items = array(
1 = array(
serviceid = 1,
servicename= signature required,
price = $4.95
),
15 = array(
serviceid = 15,
servicename = return receipt,
price = $2.30
)
)
This will ensure that your first level indexes never overwrite themselves.
But, with that change made, then do this:
foreach ( $items AS $item ) {
if ( array_key_exists('price', $item) ) {
echo $item['price'];
} else {
echo 'Item does not have a price set';
}
}

On each page, there is a header block (with a contact*.php link), navigation tabs and a navigation menu, a left column, a right column, an article, and a footer (with a contact*.php link). Each page has an article, like index.html. First part of question (php-focused)-- I'd like to change the multiple contact.php modules that I call from the ../cgi/ directory into one contact.php program that can receive a string paramenter. I'd like to pass a parameter string into the new contact.php which would contain a label which identifies the link that was clicked to call the single contact.php and be put on the header line (currently hard-coded in multiple copies of contact*.php). This is to track which link was clicked on which page... as you can see by the naming convention of my contact*.php modules. Second point of discussion (more HTML grabbed from PHP to complete the page) -- I'd like to (use index.html from the zip attachment as an example) strip any blocks that do not change between pages (ie, most of the header except the link for contact*.php, or the label sent to the new contact.php from the point above) and put them into another file that would be included into each page. I'd really like to template stuff into template part includes, and use them to simplify the different pages.

[] are necessary when you want to return multiple values for a form

always been the case with PHP. See

How necessary is if(isset($_POST['DPRlocationdetails']))

That seems like over kill?
It's more defensive, in the case where someone may be by-passing your
form to send things in.

My code works, perfectly.
Then there must be no questions. :)
In this case, I decided to attack some check-boxes

My questions are:
Is this the only way to pass Unknown, Family Home or Apartment into
the function?
Is this correct?
if ($_POST['DPRlocationdetails'] == Unknown)
Somebody once told me I had to do it this way?
if (Unknown == $_POST['DPRlocationdetails'])
In this scenario, these are equivalent. There is no preference of one
over the other.
I *have* heard claims that something like this is preferrable, though:
if (FALSE === $variable)
But I think that may have been due to some misunderstanding of
precedences in the following sort of scenario:
if (FALSE === ($result = some_function())
where if done this way:
if ($result = some_function() === FALSE)
was giving them bad results.

Re: [PHP] OOP to run sequential SQL queries?
On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 10:00 AM, AmirBehzad Eslami behzad.esl...@gmail.com wrote: We have a bunch of SQL-queries, they should be executed in a sequential order, with a defensive programming style in mind. We were thinking to implement the solution as Stored Procedures instead of a PHP solution that runs SQL queries, but an article in Coding Horro recommendeds to avoid SP for good reasons: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2004/10/who-needs-stored-procedures-anyways.html As has been said, everything has it's place, every tool has it's use, but we've all used that screwdriver to both open a can of paint and then bang on the lid with handle to get it closed again. Meaning that just because there's a tool to hand, it doesn't always mean it's the right thing. I tend to use stored procs when what I need to get accomplished resides well within the database and utilizes the database engine more effectively, and when such activities might become I/O bandwidth issues if it were all done serially within the application. In other words, very few and far between. If the dataset is large and involves some very complex queries (lots of nested selects and so on), it is often better as a stored proc. But there is a caveat there as well in that often times the skill sets for maintaining complex SQL code can be a lot harder to find and acquire than the skill set for maintaining the same logic in PHP. So, no absolutes, one way or another. Now we're going to carry on in PHP, and my experience says that we should write the solution in a procedural-style, instead of OOP. Is there any benefit to use OOP in these situations? Please share your thoughts. This is actually a very similar question: again, no absolutes. An OO approach is well fit for some aspects of implementation, and a procedural approach to others, and then there is the functional approach, which is yet another way of looking at the problem. Even with that, all three can come into play in any given application. What is to be gained by using an object approach, versus procedural, versus functional? If it's a fairly confined operation, perhaps wrapping it in an object might give some more portability, and if the rest of the application utilizes an object approach, would be a good way to go. If the rest of the application is primarily procedural, then introducing an object approach might become more of a maintenance issue. So, really, it's not a simple answer. There are far too many considerations. Other things to consider: does the entire series of queries need to be performed in a locked state, i.e., if the database records change during the series of queries, will things break? This has very huge performance considerations, and should be taken into account. One of the purported uses of stored procs is that it's easier to implement an atomic operation such as that, but that's really not entirely accurate either. It's quite possible to lock and release while still running the queries sequentially from code. The round-trip factors of I/O do weigh more heavily here. My overall suggestion: Do it the simplest way you can right now, measure, charaacterize, look at how the whole app operates, and refactor what needs to be refactored when you have some actual performance data. Recognize also that simplest is pretty subjective based upon you and your fellow devs experiences and points of view. A super DBA person might be able to snap off a stored proc in no time; while an experience PHPer might be able to do the same procedurally. It doesn't mean either one is better than the other. Only putting it into play and actually measuring it will do that. Stumbling over how best to do something is very often less optimal than just implementing and seeing for yourself. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Storing data as a float is a bad idea. Way bad. Also, I think that's
too many significant digits for php to handle in a float.
You should store data in an accessible way. For instance, assuming
there are actually only two pieces of interesting data there, you
could store them as a hash:
php $author = Array('account' = 25, 'response' = 2);
php var_dump($author);
array(2) {
[account]=
int(25)
[response]=
int(2)
}
If that data is coming from somewhere beyond your control and is
presented as that, then parsing as a string will be the way to go.
Again, assuming there is no other useful information, a simple regexp
to parse it would be:
php if (preg_match('/(\d+)\.0+(\d+)/','2.00025',$matches))
{
php { $author = Array('account' = $matches[2], 'response' = $matches[1]);
php { }
php // else handle error if need be
php var_dump($author);
array(2) {
[account]=
string(2) 25
[response]=
string(1) 2

Although on further thought, if $currentDir actually points to a

ftp_rawlist and parse it out to ensure it is a directory... Check the

Just define the value for the variables before defining the value for

Note that $message has to use double quotes for the expansion. Also
consider using HEREDOC instead of the double quotes.
You may want to put your message in a text file and using the include
function.
Hi Stephen,
My message is in a text file, but I'm using fopen and fread in a self-defined
function, so message is actually defined as (GREETER_FILE is a defined
constant):
function print_greeting($user_name)
{
$handle = fopen(GREETER_FILE, r);
$message = fread($file_handle, filesize(GREETER_FILE));
$msg_text = str_replace(USER, $user_name, $message);
print($msg_txt);
}
And my text file is simply:
$cat greet.txt
Hello USER. How are you today?
If I change USER to $user_name in the text file and change the print function
parameter to $message, $user_name gets printed verbatim. In other words
the greeting on my page becomes:
Hello $user_name. How are you today?
I want to pass the name Nelson to the function, and have it output:
Hello Nelson. How are you today?
after the function reads in text file input that contains a variable
placeholder
for the user name. I actually had a HEREDOC in the function, and that worked.
But by reading a file instead, I can make things more flexible. I'd rather be
changing a text file instead of a code file.
I use the include(template) method for this alla time, it works
great. Most especially for HTML emails coming from a web site to a
group of users, just slick as anything. include does basically just
what your print_greeting function does less the actual printout, but
using php variables instead of a str_replace. Also, this way the
templates can be stored elsewhere, outside the actual code base if
need be.

On Fri, Dec 21, 2012 at 7:06 PM, Jim Giner jim.gi...@albanyhandball.com wrote:
That actually makes sense tho. Afterall, a string is truly only one memory
allocation whereas array elements are basically multiple vars having the
same name. So - how can you unset one char in a string?
That actually depends on what you mean by unset. If you mean to
remove it, str_replace should do, or if you only know it's position,
using substr twice to grab the front and back should work.
Setting a charcter to null ('') in the middle of the string could be
interesting for some applications...
Following up with the example I just showed:
// now let's 'unset' a character in the middle
$s3 = $s;
$s3[10] = '';
showstring($s3);
yields:
String of length 34 is Now we aregone down to the river!
s[0] : 'N' 78 s[1] : 'o' 111 s[2] : 'w' 119 s[3] : ' ' 32 s[4] : 'w'
119 s[5] : 'e' 101 s[6] : ' ' 32 s[7] : 'a' 97 s[8] : 'r' 114 s[9] :

s[32] : 'r' 114 s[33] : '!' 33
Still 34 byte string length, but looking at s[10] you see the null
byte. It didn't really affect printing, but it might affect other
things.

Re: [PHP] Formatting -- defining sections of code

Basically, I've been trying to move my style from self taught to Oh yeah, there IS a standard for this. One of the things I frequently want to do is define sections of my code: to take a simplistic example, this outputs everything that needs to be in file A, this outputs what needs to be in file B, and so on. Up until now, I've used my own standards (generally SectionName, since it's easy to search for). But it occurs to me to wonder; IS there a standard for this? Most likely, the programming world being what it is, there either isn't one or there are lots of competing standards, but I'd be interested to know...

You might consider checking if $mbx === false here, since if

Start by finding out why it won't connect. Check the logs on the
server if you can, that's always the best place to look first.
