If you really have that much traffic, then memcache isn't your answer to
caching. It is as slow as a fast database.


That's not entirely true.


There are many comparisions all around the web and we did a benchmark 
for ourselves when we evaluated what the fastest solution is. Memcache 
is slower than APC. It gets worse when you start communicating over the 
network with memcache.



If you want to go with tidy and surf around the php issues you could
optimize the single html parts, before glueing everything together.


That would require much more work than simply getting < and > to work. And 
honestly I've been hacking around Tidy so much at this point with regex to minify the 
output, that I'm even wondering if Tidy is worth the both anymore. Not sure what else 
it will give me.


Maybe it is the best solution to think about optimizations you want and 
code them by hand like stripping comments, too much whitespace, empty 
tags, linebreaks and whatever. I guess it will save a lot of time.


Or you download the tidy sourcecode and put in your wanted changes? 
Maybe suggest a change request or submit a patch?





Maybe google page speed is worth a look for you too?


We have over 1,000 servers in house and also distributed across nodes in 
various cities and countries.


Don't know if this is an answer to my question? You know what google 
page speed is about?

Take a look at this:
http://de3.php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php

Or try this

http://de3.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php

$_SESSION['ExpiryDate'] = "2013-04-23";
$int_timestamp = strtotime($_SESSION['ExpiryDate']);
echo date('D, \t\h\e jS \o\f M Y', $int_timestamp );

Use SINGLE QUOTES!

Re: [PHP] Lasting syntax error when there's none

[Marco Behnke]

Am 09.04.2013 17:00, schrieb fr...@me.com:

Hi everyone,

I have some weird problem with PHP compiler or something of this sort of 
things. We have some PHP files which are generated during the first request to 
the site. These files are normally executed via PHP then. For some reason PHP 
thinks that they contain syntax errors (verified using HTTP request, or `php 
-l`). I've found out it is extremely easy to resolve this issue manually when 
developing - simply renaming or touching that file resolves the issue. So, 
apparently those generated PHP files don't contain any syntax error. However, 
PHP thinks they do even across different SAPIs (CLI and FPM). Since fixing the 
issue in this manner doesn't seam reasonable even by some script on production, 
I'd like to know whether do you have any suggestion what settings to tweak or 
what might be the problem.



If touching resolves the error, maybe it is some kind of bytecode cache.
Do you use APC or something like that?

Touch the file after creating it
http://www.php.net/touch



Here is some information about the environment (feel free to ask for more):
- PHP version: 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.6
- SAPI: FPM and CLI
- OS: Ubuntu 12.04
- Software: Ubuntu packages only (updated)
- HTTP request handling: nginx load balancer → PHP FPM daemon
- Machine: VMware Fusion (managed by Vagrant) hosted on OS X 10.8.3

Just a thought that came to my mind: Have you disabled browser caching?

And about the "push" is undefined in the logs: How do you call the
script for the first time? With or with push parameter?

I stopped using define in favor of somehow "namespaced constants" as
const in classes. But basically there is no difference.
Advantages of using constants (which ever) are code completion to avoid
spelling errors. I see no possible improvements here.

So you said you tried Yii. But have you wasted some of your precious
time trying out the extension that "extends" Yii in a way, that creating
models and views with Gii get proper SELECT Boxes and stuff for
relations? If I understood you correct, this is what you were looking for?

what is in $states?
Looks like $states[$state] is not an array.

And don't use & reference operator in foreach loop, there can be strange

since apache and cli do not share the same apc, it will not work.

Ok, that is a different answer from the previous one where you said "it
points to a folder within my main domain's structure"

Are you running on error_reporting(E_ALL) and ini_set('display_errors',
'On')?
Just to be sure that there are no hidden notices or warnings.

Just to be sure ... the webspace is on the same server and has access to

Do note your full url (including &user=xx&pass=yy will be logged in

I mentioned in an earlier post on the list, why I - and "some others" -
think, the use of static methods is somehow outdated.

1. If you have code using static methods and members and use phpunit for
testing it, you have to either make sure, that everything is properly
resetted after use OR have to run phpunit in a mode where every test is
run in a single php call for itself. One is potentially harmful to the
test if you forgot some side effects and one is time consuming.

2. When thinking about dependency injection (give everything you use
inside, from the ouside in), show me how one can do this with classes
WITHOUT passing strings around? And without DI, how do you keep your
application flexible to different environments and conditions?

From what I see most of your concepts are not up to date of how you
would do things now.
This starts with simple "leave brackets on if else single line
conditions" which is from my point of view a no go and ends with using
static calls instead of instances.

And why PHP 5.2?

And I am curious if you have developed a real templating engine or if
you are going by eval()? From what I see, it looks a bit like that.

But these are only my points. I browsed the pages, had no insight on the
code.

But I like your concept on the in place editing, that looks pretty cool
and handy.

Basically there is only difference, they have nothing in common.

http://de.php.net/echo
echo --- Output one or more strings

http://de.php.net/return
If called from within a function, the /return/ statement immediately
ends execution of the current function, and returns its argument as the
value of the function call. /return/ will also end the execution of an
eval()  statement or
script file.

Or, if that string is the only thing you want to output and nothing else
you will set the correct content type for your output by putting

Please an existence check to avoid incrementing not set array keys

You should definitely not make that a habbit!
Why create/open a session and send a cookie everytime script call even
if you won't need it? Why access a hard disk to create/open a session
file even if there is no use for it?

Only call session_start() if you need it and call session_write_close()
as early as possible to avoid write locks on the users session file.

And up from PHP 5.4 you can use

http://de2.php.net/manual/de/function.session-status.php

to check a session status.

I can definetly recommend that one.
I tested nginx + php-fpm against apache2 + mod_php. Since then every
server setup for PHP appliactions is done with nginx + php-fpm. It is
faster and uses less memory.

No, I disagree with you.
Don't use inheritance for code re-use, use it for class extension!

If you have a class and want to add something extra to it but what does
stays in the same topic, then extend from it.

If you simply extend PDO to use the PDO methods and add your own stuff,
then inheritance is a bad idea. If you think of what you are doing here:
You USE Pdo. So it is a component.

This way you get the following benefits:

- You can extend your class in your system from another class AND use PDO
- You can easily exchange PDO with another abstraction layer if you
like, without changing the interface, just changing the implmentation

Ah, I guess that is the problem. Your application framework uses namespaces.
I guess you should try

catch (\Exception $e)

instead of

catch (Exception $e)

there is no variable $_Request, it is $_REQUEST.
Why do you test on $_REQUEST and compare it with trimmed $_POST?


{
if ($_REQUEST['Sex'] === "0")
{
$sex = 'Male';
}
else
{
$sex = 'Female';
}


Why do you set a variable that is never used?


$allowed_fields = array
( 'Site' =>$_POST['Site'], 'MedRec' => $_POST['MedRec'], 'Fname' =>
$_POST['Fname'], 'Lname' => $_POST['Lname'] ,
'Phone' => $_POST['Phone'] , 'Sex' => $_POST['Sex'] , 'Height' =>
$_POST['Height'] );
if(empty($allowed_fields))
{
echo "ouch";
}
$query = "select * from Intake3 where 1 ";
foreach ( $allowed_fields as $key => $val )
{
if ( (($val != '')) )
{
$query .= " AND ($key = '$val') ";


Why the hell do you put unverified data into an sql query?


DISPLAY THE INPUT3 DATA:

 >>> THIS SEEMS TO BE THE ROUTINE THAT IS FAILING <<<


What fails?
I do not have access to your database, so I can not run your code to see 
what fails.



n1 ";echo $n1;
{
if (($n1 > 2) && ($MDRcheck == $row1[1]))


What is $MDRcheck and what does this comparision mean?


SELECT AND DISPLAY DATA FROM VISIT3 DATABASE



Quotes around mdr missing


$result2 = mysqli_query($cxn, $query2);
$num = mysqli_num_rows($result2);


global $finished;
$finished = 0;


while($row2 = mysqli_fetch_array($result2, MYSQLI_BOTH))
{
global $finished;


No need to global that twice.
And why ndo you use global and $_GLOBALS? STick to one or better skip it 
anyways. Globals are not to be used!



switch ( @$_POST[next_step] )


Remove all @ from your code or you won't see any errors on this.
Do proper checking and do NOT suppress errors or warnings.


echo "";
echo "";
echo "";
echo "Medical Record:  ";


Quotes.


$Weight = $_POST['Weight'];
$Notes = $_POST['Notes'];
$sql2 = "INSERT INTO Visit3(Indx, Site, MedRec, Notes, Weight, BMI,
Date) VALUES(null, '$Site', '$MDRold', '$Notes',


Do NOT NEVER put data that is user input unchecked into a query.


?>

Double closing tag?


echo " $_GLOBALS[mdr] \n";


Quotes.


$flag = 1;


What's this?

You really really should seperate your code from HTML.
Please truncate your apache and php error log.
Add

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');

at the top of every php file right after Remove all @ from your lines and execute your script another time and 
see what errors are appear into your browser and your logfiles. Post 
them and the codelines for these errors on the list.

$value = $xml->node;

vs.

$value = (String)$xml->node;

I like the first one. Plus you handle it to dynamically to the right type

function __get($value)
{
if is float return float casted value
if is boolean ...
and so on
}

Maybe you could provide a bit more of information.

Is math all you want to use? Parsing will be an easy doing and I am

That won't help. When you reach the sleep with your request, the
connection is already established.
What you want is curl with

CURLOPT_TIMEOUT max execution time

No, this actually a personal experience developed over several years.
Bad documentated @throws is a pain too, I admit that.

From time to time I stumble into that if/else/return scenario where a
method should return a boolean for example depending on the given
parameters. PHP does not offer type checking so what if you submit
garbage that makes no sense for our method.
What will I return? I use exceptions for these unexpected exits. The
caller can now check on true or false and offer an additional try/catch
around it to handle exception.

This is only one artificial example, but imho and if I read the
conversion up to know correct, offers a cleaner approach.
Sadly most IDE offer no support for @throws annotations, I don't know a
single one, and PHP does not support it too.

I haven't used GOTO since C64 days and haven't missed - well during
study days I used GOTO in Assembler :-)

Well, this is just my opinion on the topic and I think that this is in
favor of GOTO.

Indeed. But isn't that the point? We are trying to figure out why his
posting the form does not work. I say, it can't work as long as long as
there is Q:\ ins his form action, no way it will do, because you leave
your webserver context anyways.

He must change it to a valid web url.

Stupid question . where have you copied your script? Is it lying on
a webserver? Then I would guess that you are submitting the form on your
webserver which hits the PHP script on your Desktop PC which in tunr
invokes the PHP command line interpreter who has no idea what you mean
by $_POST.

Try changing the form action to simply "callrecs.php" and see if that works.
