Re: [PHP] Boolean type forced on string assignment inside if statement
Hi Tedd, A little searching enlightened me to the fact that in other languages, a single | or & operator will cancel the short-circuiting so all of the evaluations are done before proceeding.

Hello, Yes, I did, and if you read my responses you can see that I came to the realisations you describe. I don't think that anyone suggested there was a bug. > $a is true (ie it is not set to a 'false' value, > whatever PHP uses for false) and $b is "bar" because that is what it is set > to. Since the evaluation is within a bracket, the interior values ($a, $b) > are set BEFORE the if condition is evaluated. Regarding this I'm a bit confused. In the case of an OR operator, $b is not "bar" because it follows the "true" path as you said earlier. Probably just a glitch in the English language. I'll file a bug for that.

[PHP] Find match of string if only at end of string
Hi folks,
I'm trying to compare two strings in order to determine whether or not
the site is just switching languages on the same page or whether the
link is pointing to an entirely different page. Things were fine
until I realized I was getting false positives for subpages, where the
URLs matched.
Previous code example:
if (strpos('http://domain.com/fr/about/page/', '/about/page/') > -1){
$same_page = true;
}
As you can see this logic is not strong enough to deal with:
if (strpos(http://domain.com/about/page/subpage/', '/about/page/') > -1){
$same_page = true;
}
As it is not the same page. I've looked into strrpos() and tried to
use the negative offset as the length of the needle, but unfortunately
it searches backwards from the offset and not forwards. Any ideas?

It actually works for me as well if I run it in the browser. The structure of the app is a bit strange, though, so debugging character encoding issues is quite difficult. The code is being run by Code Igniter in the backend and the response passed via JSON to a ExtJS 4 frontend, so what I'm looking at to debug is the server's response in the browser console. What I can say is that I decode the string and pass it immediately afterwards to the EvalMath class that was suggested earlier, it complains that there's illegal characters "<", so obviously it's the server that isn't operating as expected... but why?

It could have something to do with the function returning 0 because
it's finding the comma in the 0 index, but it's not really false, it's
still finding the string. I've run into a similar problem before...

Re: [PHP] Unique items in an array
Hi folks,
I just wanted to add a little something to this thread as I reworked
some of the code and came across an interesting tidbit. I was trying
to merge many result sets which now had the table's primary key as the
array key, but found that when array_merge() was done, all of the
array's keys were lost, like so:
array(2) {
[704]=>
array(36) {
["contact_id"]=>
string(3) "704"
["contact_first_name"]=>
string(4) "Marc"
["contact_last_name"]=>
string(4) "Guay"
}
[705]=>
array(36) {
["contact_id"]=>
string(3) "705"
["contact_first_name"]=>
string(4) "Marc"
["contact_last_name"]=>
string(5) "Guay2"
}
}
array_merge with:
array(0) {
}
left me with:
array(2) {
[0]=>
array(36) {
["contact_id"]=>
string(3) "704"
["contact_first_name"]=>
string(4) "Marc"
["contact_last_name"]=>
string(4) "Guay"
}
[1]=>
array(36) {
["contact_id"]=>
string(3) "705"
["contact_first_name"]=>
string(4) "Marc"
["contact_last_name"]=>
string(5) "Guay2"
}
}
Pretty crummy. Apparently what I wanted was as simple as: $new_array
= $array1 + $array2, which I didn't even know was an option. Thank
you php.net/manual.

Hello,
Thank you both for answer me.
Also I would like to thank you Marc Guay, because with your answer I
figured out how to do it.
My code is like this:
//$saving_list = $_POST['custom'] == 'FR' ? 148 : 147;
if ($_POST['custom'] == 'FR'){
$saving_list = 148;
}
if ($_POST['custom'] == 'EN'){
$saving_list = 147;
}
else{
$saving_list = 152;
}
I'm not sure if that's the best way, but it is working for me as I
expected, althought any other recommendation would be great.
Regards

[PHP] Passing arguments to an internal function via array_map
Hi folks,
I'm trying to convert the contents of an array from utf8 to utf16
(thanks for the headache MS Excel!). I originally created a "user
function" that just ran the text through
mb_convert_encoding($text,'utf-16','utf-8') but now I'm wondering if I
can't just use the internal function directly. Apparently it's more
complicated when the function requires arguments; I see example using
mysql_real_escape_string() on php.net.
My current attempt looks like this:
$clean = array_map('mb_convert_encoding', $dirty_arr, array('utf-16','utf-8'));
but I believe this is actually passing an array to
mb_convert_encoding() as the second argument rather than the 2nd and
3rd... Any ideas or am I chasing something that can't be done?

[PHP] Variable variable using constant
Hi folks,
Let's say that I have 2 constants
DEFINE('DESKTOP_URL_en', "http://www.website.com/index.php?page=home";);
DEFINE('DESKTOP_URL_fr', "http://www.website.com/index.php?page=accueil";);
and I would like to populate the value of an href with them depending
on the user's language. $_SESSION['lang'] is either 'en' or 'fr'.
How would I go about referring to this variable?
I have tried:
${'DESKTOP_URL_'.$_SESSION['lang']};
${DESKTOP_URL'.'_'.$_SESSION['lang']};
{DESKTOP_URL'.'_'.$_SESSION['lang']};
etc, to no avail.
If it is a regular variable I'm fine, it's the CONSTANT_FORMAT that
seems to be causing my brain some issues.

[PHP] Generate CMS based on database schema
Howdy, I'm looking for a FOSS equivalent to PHPMaker, or at least something which comes close to it. For those who don't know the program, it syncs with your database and allows you to generate an entire CMS system based on it. To be clear, I am not looking for a CRUD code generator, I'm looking for something that can generate the whole shabang so I can get on with it. Perhaps someone could sassily tell me why I don't need this tool or propose another method, that would be good too. I really enjoy building sites up from the DB schema but hate creating web interfaces for editing them. I've also taken a stab at Drupal, which is like doing it the other way around, using the CMS to create the schema, but a lot of the time it seems ass backwards and I'm not in the mood to get another hand cramp from clicking through the interface for 6 hours setting everything up.

Re: [PHP] Querying a database for 50 users' information: 50 queries or a WHERE array?
Another theoretical approach, given the grey areas, would be to add a field to your table to indicate these "special" users. I would call the field "is_awesome" and have it default to zero, because that's just the way it is. Then you can make your query "SELECT * FROM users WHERE is_awesome=1". This method might make the code a bit more manageable as you could modify the users through a CMS rather than updating a hardcoded array.
