[PHP] date(n/Y) strtotime
I've always been really amazed at how well strtotime works, but recently
ran into an issue where it couldn't figure out the date if it was a cc
exp date in long format, e.g. 1/2009. I was curious if anyone else has
run into this and how did they get around it, here was my solution:
function expDate2str( $date )
{
if( !($sDate = strtotime( $date ) ) )
{
// exploded date
$eDate = explode( '/', $date );
// string date we hard code the day to 1
$sDate = strtotime( date( Y-m-d, mktime( 0, 0, 0,
$eDate[0], 1, $eDate[1] ) ) );
}
return $sDate;
}
Thanks, Mark

Did you try my code? It's a lot simpler than yours, faster too. And I
just tried executing it to confirm that it works.
The problem with your comparison is that strtotime thinks the date is
invalid, but misinterprets it. But since once you decide the date is
invalid you assume it's in a given format, it is enough to simply check
that it's in the certain format to begin with. I don't know how complex
you want to get with this, here's a relatively simple if statement to do
the check:
if ( 6 = strlen($date) = 7 substr_count($date, /) == 1 )
Which checks that the length is from our credit card strings, and that
it looks somewhat valid (You could go more in depth in checking, but
this'll do for now).
Now, that new comparison would be needed for your code, but I'll rewrite
your function to use my simpler method of conversion:
?php
function expDate2str($date)
{
$datelen = strlen($date);
if ( ($datelen == 6 || $datelen == 7) substr_count($date,
/) == 1 )
{
echo Invalid, blowing up datebr/;
$sDate = strtotime(str_replace(/, /01/,
strlen($date) == 6 ?
0$date : $date));
}
else
{
echo validbr/;
}
echo In: $datebr/Out: . date( Y-m-d, $sDate )
.br/br/;
}
expDate2str('1/2009');
expDate2str( date( n/Y));
?
Which when I run it (in PHP 4 though) prints out this:
Invalid, blowing up date
In: 1/2009
Out: 2009-01-01
Invalid, blowing up date
In: 8/2006
Out: 2006-08-01
For the heck of it, here's a more production-oriented version of the
function/test script:
?php
function expDate2str($date)
{
$datelen = strlen($date);
if ( ($datelen == 6 || $datelen == 7) substr_count($date,
/) == 1 )
return date(Y-m-d, strtotime(str_replace(/, /01/,
strlen($date)
== 6 ? 0$date : $date)));
else
RE: [PHP] Basic PHP knowledge test
Here's one companies quiz that they gave: With each question, please keep the code short and simple. Make notes on possible caveats and fixes rather than adding a lot of error-checking to your code. 1. Write a PHP script to remove duplicate lines from a file. Do not worry about efficiency. Ex. input: Tree Donut Fish Food Tree Tree Doctor Fish Food Ex. output: Tree Donut Fish Food Doctor 2. Write a PHP script that retrieves the Word of the Day from http://dictionary.com/. 3. Write a PHP web page script which redirects visitors to google.com if their IP address is not of the form 10.x.x.x nor 192.168.x.x. Users who do not get redirected should be shown a top secret message. 4. Write a PHP script which inserts the contents of a TAB-delimited text file into a MySQL table. You must create the table. The columns are named in the file. Here is the data format with some example data: idTABnameTABageTABemailTABactive 1TABBerthaTAB93TAB[EMAIL PROTECTED]TAB1 2TABSammyTAB40TAB[EMAIL PROTECTED]TAB1 3TABErinTAB15TAB[EMAIL PROTECTED]TAB0 4TABRupertTAB29TAB[EMAIL PROTECTED]TAB1 5. Write a PHP function to determine if two strings are close enough, such as to find misspelt words. o Extra letters are OK. close_enough( 'apartment', 'appartmeant' ); returns true o Missing letters are OK. close_enough( 'apartment', 'aprmnt' ); returns true o Substitutions are OK. close_enough( 'apartment', 'apardmint' ); returns true o Only allow up to 1 error per 3 letters in the correct word, rounding up. For example, a 10-letter word can have up to 4 errors. They can be anywhere in the word. -Original Message- From: John Nichel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 5:31 AM To: PHP Mailing Lists Subject: Re: [PHP] Basic PHP knowledge test Finner, Doug wrote: My advice, give the candidates problems and see how they solve them.

'rm -rf' removes all files, directories and subdirectories. Microsoft's del has no analogy to that (although there was a deltree command in older versions of DOS). You still have to manually (or programmatically) iterate through the directory structure and run 'del *.*' and then 'rd directory' in every single subdirectory to achieve the same result that the single command 'rm -rf' gives you on UNIX-like systems.

RE: [PHP] Better way of doing this? (menu and submenus)
You could use a recursive function and keep it all in one table.
My Table is similar to the one below:
ID NAMEPID DISPLAY_ORDER
Here's crude recursive function to display this in a list typical of what
you used to style a menu. The great thing about this is that you could have
unlimited submenus if you wanted ...
function displayMenu( $pid )
{
global $db;
$res = $db-query( SELECT * FROM tblmenu WHERE pid = '.$pid.'
ORDER BY display_order );
mysqlErrorCheck( $res );
while( $res-fetchInto( $objData ) )
{
$html .= li.$objData['name'];
$html .= ul.displayMenu( $objData['id'] )./ul;
$html .= /li;
}
return $html;
}
echo ul.displayMenu('0')./ul;

what I have:
MID NAMEPARENT_ID LOCATION
1Homenull index.php
2Productsnull products.php
3Information null info.php
10 Profile 1 profile.php
11 Account 1 account.php
20 Hardware2 hardware.php
21 Software2 software.php
210 M$ Word 21 msword.php
211 iLife 21 ilife.php
And I think you get the drift.
You can keep getting deeper in the
tree structure and not have to worry about adding
more tables.
Notice that the menu_item_id (MID) actually has some
organization to
it, but this is completely optional. As the menu
items grow, this will
probably be more difficult to keep track of. Anyway,
hope that helps!
@Phillip,
Thanks for replying.
Because (like you pointed out) the MID can get a
little crazy I was thinking of using two tables, one
for parent and the other for the children.
Also, I forgot to mention in my first post, I am using
a p_position (parent position) and c_position (child)
for each of the menu items, that way I can do a ORDER
BY in my query and it should still look good and
changing positions shouldnt be a problem (ask anyone
who's married, being flexable in changing positions is
VERY important :-D )
Doing an ORDER BY on two tables in also a bit more
simple than one (IMHO, feel free to correct me)
I really appreciate your input on this as I am in the
theory stage while you have actually made something
like this, thanks again.
@K. Bear - Thanks for the link, I'll check it out as
soon as i get a little time.
Cheers!
Ryan

[PHP] mime.magic adding more types
Hi there, I'm writing some code that looks at a video file given to it and writes up the correct embed html and outputs it to the browser. I though that I would use mime_content_type() function to detect the type of each video, but after enabling it, I found that it doesn't have the mime type for windows media player. After some researching I had some following questions: 1. Can someone explain what each column means in the magic.mime file: 0 short 0143561 application/x-bcpio 2. Does anyone have any windows media, realplayer mime types they'd like to share for the magic.mime file 3. I saw that the mime_type extension have been deprecated in favor of pecl fileinfo, is installing and using the pecl extension as easy as pear install fileinfo? Does it detect windows media, real player, and quicktime videos? 4. Any other suggestions on detecting what type of video file is being processed? I suppose looking at file extensions is another method, though I like the idea of mime type detection over file extension examination.

I know that there is a phpmailer list, but it's pretty low volume, so I hoped you all might have some ideas on this.

Does the 'on' translate to some weird line end character? Can I try and re-encode it or something? Mark

I rewrote what you had like so:

return $value.-TEST;
}
$clean = array(
name = name,

status= status,
);
$field_values = array_map( detectMGQ, $clean ); var_dump($field_values);
?
and it adds '-TEST' to every value as expected. not sure whats going wrong
with your code exactly by I have got some general comments...

wrong.)

if $value equals ABC then it would equal ABCABCasdf aftyer that last

return $value;
}
// construct field and value pairs into array
$field_values = array( 'name' = $clean[name],

yuou don't need to wrap $clean[email] in quotes - it's waste of
time+cpu BUT you should always delimit the array key with quotes because
it is a string not a constant (or does you code actually define a constant
named 'email'?) i.e.
$clean[email] is better off being $clean['email']
'username' =
$clean[username],
'accesslevel' =

I've been using sprintf but just noticed that it tends to round up. I want the same functionlity without rounding. Mark: Rounding? You can try round(), such as: ?php echo round(3.4); // 3 echo round(3.5); // 4 echo round(3.6); // 4 echo round(3.6, 0); // 4 echo round(1.95583, 2); // 1.96 echo round(1241757, -3); // 1242000 echo round(5.045, 2);// 5.05 echo round(5.055, 2);// 5.06 ? But, as you can see, this rounds up (not the best). You may want to consider that there is more than one way to round a number. For example, there is no completely accurate solution for rounding any real number. If you want absolute precision, then you must use absolute numbers to whatever precision they are. However, this may not be obtainable because of continuos numbers like pi. As such, you may be forced to round. There are several different algorithms for rounding, such as truncation, floor (rounding down), ceiling (round up), common, and statistical. None are perfect, but some are more prone to errors than others.

[PHP] Timezone and DST
Hi All,
I've got a little problem where our servers are in PST but the customer
operates in Hawaii (-10 GMT). I believe I can just get the time for them by
doing something like
date(d H i, strtotime('now -2 hours') );
But here's the catch, how should I deal with day light savings ( DST) . In
hawaii they don't observer DST, but in Washington State we do.
We're on php 4.x so I can't use the date_default_timezone_set
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php that
was added in PHP 5
Thanks, Mark

[PHP] Storing encrypted data into mysql: blob vs bin2hex

foreach expects to have an array passed as its argument; the error message
suggests that what it is receiving is not an array. Without seeing your
code, the only suggestion we could make (well, me anyway) is to check what
is actually being passed, with print_r or var_dump.

The built in FTP client. You can set it so that when you save it auto uploads the file to the site. They also put the upload/download process into a separate process. This means that you can download or upload a bunch of files and still continue to work on files. One thing that bugs me is that the dialogue box always comes up and you have to click around or minimize it to hide it, why isn't there an option to just keep it hidden on upload? I used Zend Studio for a month, in hopes that I would be able to figure out how to install the whole IDE with server on my machine. I wanted to use the debugging features in it, but I have never been able to get all the pieces installed correctly AND gotten a work flow down where I could use the debugger effectively. ZS has code folding too, but just for functions. Someone else mentioned support for phpDoc, this is an awesome time saver if you want to provide clear documentation in phpdoc format. One big bummer on ZS was that it didn't have a built in FTP client. A work around is to work directly off the server. I tried Magumas Workbench product for a little bit, but it seemed very mickey mouse compared to ZS and DW. But I'm sure it's really a good product and I just didn't' give it a chance.

When you say SlickEdit has a ftp client built in, is it a separate window that gets launched, or is it more integrated, like you can just right click on your list of files and say put these files up on the server. For me just being able to save and have the file get uploaded saves me a lot of extra clicks.

Re: [PHP] Writing a mailing list program with php/mysql.
Hi there,
There are TONS of tutorials out there on how to store this information into
a database instead of just mailing it to your self, just google php and
mysql ...
First you'll
need to create your database using some sort of mysql console (command
line, web based like phpMyAdmin, desktop application like navicat or
mysql administrator)
Your database looks like it only needs a few fields
id
Email
prayer
newsletter
announce
// pulled from php.net
// connecto to your database
$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')
or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('my_database') or die('Could not select database');
replace this code =
//this is the email message that will be sent
$message=$mail. would like to be signed up for the .$list. mailing
lists\r\n;
//send the email now
mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], mailing list request, $message,
From: mailing list form[EMAIL PROTECTED]);
== End replace code
// validate your forms input, could be a function instead
if ( $_POST['prayer'] == 'on' ) $prayer = 'yes' else $prayer = 'no';
if ( $_POST['news'] == 'on' ) $news = 'yes' else $news = 'no';
if ( $_POST['announce'] == 'on' ) $announce = 'yes' else $announce= 'no';
// next I'll contruct a query to insert it into my database
$query = INSERT INTO newslettertable( id, email, prayer, newsletter,
announce) VALUES ( '', '.$mail.', '.$prayer.', '. $news.',
'.$announce.' );
// now I'll actually run the query, if there is an error it will spit the
error out to the screen
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());
// How to get the databack out from
$query = SELECT * FROM newslettertable WHERE prayer = 'yes';
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());
// Now we'll loop through the data
while ( $objData = mysql_fetch_object( $result ) )
{
mail( $objData-email, 'Prayer Newsletter', 'Prayer newsletter body'
);
}
Hopefully that gives you a rough idea how little more you need to do to hook
it up to a database.

Subject: [PHP] Writing a mailing list program with php/mysql.
Hi.
I've written a mailing list form for a website. It currently works by
having
the subscriber check up to 3 checkboxes depending on the mailing list
they
want to sign up for (prayer, newsletter and announce). They then type
their
email address into the email address field and click the subscribe
button.
After they do that, the php script will check the form for validity and
return error if not filled out the right way or it will send an email
to me
if it worked (in the sence that the form was filled out by the user
the
right way). What I need to know is: given the code below, are there any
examples of php/mysql driven mailing list scripts that I can use as a
tutorial on helping me to convert mine to a mysql database driven
program?
Any ideas/recommendations would be apreciated. Thanks for all the help.
The code below if copied and pasted into their own seperate files
should
work on any apache/php 5.0.5/mysql 3.xx server.

RE: [PHP] Adding links to HTML for a CMS
Store each paragraph text in a database
Table 1 = tblPage
id Name
1 Welcome Page
2 About Page
Table 2 = Content
id pageid content
1 1 This is some content in a paragraph
2 1 This is some more content
3 1 This is the last content on this page
4 2 Some about content
Then when you display your page you pass the page id through the URL like:
http://www.domain.com/page.php?pageid=1
// get the page id of course do some validating is_numeric etc
$id = $_GET['pageid'];
// using pear db package
$res = $db-query ( SELECT * FROM tblContent WHERE pageid = '.$id.' );
// loop through data and display it with an edit link
while( $res-fetchInto( $objData ) )
{
echo p.$objData-content.a
href=\edit.php?pageid=.$objData-od.\Edit/a/p;
}
Your edit page would then have some code that would load the content into a
text area or wywsiwig editor or something You would then also have to
add functionality where a user could add a paragraph and what order you
would want those paragraphs to show up in, delete paragraphs.
Hope that helps.
