[PHP] Re: [PHP-WIN] More bzip woes! No file written...
Use full path for every filename. I have now changed my code to do this, see below. Use ls -als to figure the permissions on each file. I am running this on a windows box for now, and although I have cygwin and can run ls and chmod, they don't seem to have any affect on the actual permissions. From an NT perpsective, I have given the local system account (which Apache runs as) full permissions on the folder in question. Thing is, I am running a tar command before I run bzip and this manages to create a file in this folder without any problems - wouldn't that too fail if it was apermissions problem? If the World user (last of the three) can't do the thing to the file (read/write/execute) that you want PHP to do, then PHP can't do it. This appears to be the case, but as I have said, I can't seem to get write perms set via cygwin :-( Here is my modified code... $data = implode (, file ($filename.tar)); if ($DEBUG) echo BZip filename: .$SITE_ROOT./$filename.bz2br; $bz = bzopen ($SITE_ROOT./$filename.bz2, wb); bzwrite ($bz, $data); bzclose ($bz); regards, Mikey -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

How about working out the length of the column (by dividing the number of
rows by the number of cols you want), dump your results into an array and
using the col length as an offset to pick through the resulting table?
// $data is an array of results
$rows = count ($data)
$row_len = round ($rows / 3); // three cols
print table;
for ($i = 0; $i $row_len; $i++)
{
print tr;
print td.$data[$i]./td;

print td.((2 * $row_len) + $i $rows)?$data[(2 * $row_len) +

First, you don't need to explode and then implode - just use a different
var for the exploded array and use the original after the test.
My suggestion for testing (but you really must test it and see if it's
faster or slower than your method) is using wordwrap() with your max
word length and then check if any line is longer than your max allowed
length. The advantage may be that you probably use 10-15 as the max
length in real life and you would skip quite a few checks because you're
going to end up with several words on a typical line. I guess it *might*
be slightly fatser because wordwrap() is native to PHP - the job however
is more complicated, so you may end up with a slower version than your
current one.

Re: [PHP] 'Pure' php vs 'mixed' (html + php)
However... From the point of view of someone who has worked in a company where diesign is separated from development, it is much better to have separate files with HTML templates with special markers (in the library I use, it is HTML comments !--element_to_replace--) so that the two processes are adequately separated. When all of the HTML is embedded in PHP staements, minor changes to HTML layout involve a PHP developer, whereas with template based strategies all they have to do is change the template.

Re: [PHP] 'Pure' php vs 'mixed' (html + php)
Point well-made. I suppose doing it the mixed way might have repercussions later on if/when the site grows. Perhaps while the code is still fresh in my mid, it might be worth the effort to separate it. However, for a good part of the site, I've used CSS for appearance details, and controlling a lot of stuff that changes from page-to-page. It's very easy to change all or some of the pages from the CSS scripts. But, for the most part, not much of the actual php scripts COULD change, so that's why I've never bothered to separate html from php. Perhaps I wrong, but . . . I think it is a case of horses for courses - you are working on what sounds like a fairly small project, and templatizing your code may be more trouble than it is worth, so whatever feels best for you... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Jason Teagle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
I have found an alternate way of achieving what I want, but I'm wondering
if
there was an easier way. I have a PHP file that builds a Web page that
includes forms. The forms are built dynamically based on the contents of a
file, and thus there may be one or two or more forms on the page at any
time. This means that I have controls named $btnChoice1 (first form),
$btnChoice2 (second form), etc. (radio buttons). All of these forms are of
a
similar format, and so lead to the same PHP page in their action - a
parameter is passed in the URL to identify which form it came from.
When the form passes to its action file, another PHP file, there are two
ways to get form data: $_POST[control_name] or $control_name. The
problem
is, the control name I need has to be built dynamically based on which
form
it came from. So I need this:
$btnName = btnChoice . $form_number ;
But now I have the tricky bit - $_POST[$btnName] doesn't work because it
requires nested substitution of variables, and similarly I can't echo
$btnName because that will of course use btnChoice2 instead of the
_contents_ of the control named btnChoice2.
Is it possible to 'dereference' (whatever the term is) the variable name
twice? I tried
$$btnName
in the stupid hope that it would first interpret that to
$btnChoice2
and then interpret that to the contents of the control, but of course it
failed.
I ended up using foreach on $_POST to pull out control names and their
contents, and comparing the control name to my built-up name - but I was
wondering if there's a more elegant way of doing what I wanted?
Promise my next question to the group will be short {:v)

[PHP] Class variables and scope
Can anyone here shed some light on this issue?
I have a class which is responsible for it's own database access and (some
of it) is initalised as below:
?
class myClass
{
var $conn;
var $sth;
// etc...
function myClass ($db)
{
$host = localhost;
$user = user_name;
$password = password;
$this-conn = mysql_connect ($host, $user, $pwd)
or die (Unable to connect to database);
$sel = mysql_select_db ($db, $this-conn);
if (!$sel) die (Unable to select database);
return true;
}
// rest of the class
}
?
Now, say for example the class is used as per the script below:
?
require (myClass.class);
$c1 = new myClass (first_database);
$c2 = new myClass (second_database);
// error here
$c1-doSomething();
?
When I try to work with the first instance of my class, I get an error which
I finally tracked down to it trying to run it's SQL queries against the
database defined in $c2. Now, I was under the impression that class
variables were private to each instance, however, this seems to be acting
like a static var.
Help?!?

You need to specify $this-conn in each mysql_* function you call
otherwise it
will be called against the last connection made.

[PHP] Re: gd project question
I believe you will need to use sin and cos to do this...
I experimented with drawing circles in javascript (sorry, it's not PHP but
you can see the concept) and ended up with this:
for (j = 0; j = 360; j += (360 / 10))
{
// x1 y1 are offset values
var s = x1 + radius * Math.cos (j);
var t = y1 + radius * Math.sin (j);
setLayer (layer_count, s, t);
layer_count++;
}
You would be able to work out the angle by making it a percentage of 180
degrees - although for horizontal gauges, you would need to offset it
by -90.
Hope this helps...

I have the following issue:
I am making a gas guage based on a percentage.
ie.
- a 180 degree arc is created
- the range will be 0 to n (undetermined ammount)
- there will be x number of entries
- the needle will pount to a a percentage
for (int)floor((x / n) * 100)
The issue is, I have the starting pt for the needle (imagefilledarc
needs the center of the 'circle' as the starting pt, which is where
the needle will start too), but how would I get the x|y coordinates
for the end of the needle based on a perentage of a half-circle
(180 degree arc)?
Appreciate any clues or ideas.

[PHP] Re: Class/Objects
I believe so - but why are you passing a the object a reference to itself? $bar-db_obj-run_some_code($bar); $bar-tpl_obj-do_this_for_me($bar); If you need to access parts of the object from within, use the $this- pointer. It works but was wondering if its 'legal' to use it like this - $lcre-db_obj-run_some_code($bar); $lcre-tpl_obj-do_this_for_me($bar); This looks like it makes more sense as you are passing a reference to $bar into $lcre - as long as your function is setup to accept this type of object and knows what to do with it.

[PHP] Re: Parsing file's
You should normalise your data - have a field in the second csv that links
to the first csv and then you can have as many rows as you want associated
with the record in the first file.
Mikey
Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
I have a csv file that I am parsing, formatting and then writting to a new
file. I am currently using an array, but I have some lines that might
contain more data than others. I know for sure that columns 0-33 will
always be there, but the customer has the option to add another set of
columns to the row if needed. I do know that the addition's will always
be 18 columns and I do know that they can add up to 15 set's of 18. So,
the row length could be 0-33 or 0-51 if they add one additional set or 303
columns if they go up to 15.
The tricky part is I have to format each column for the new file that is
created, I do this using sprintf. I have so far tried to use array_slice
for the first 18 columns, then I do another array_slice starting at 18
and using the column count to get the last column in the row. Here is the
code:
array_slice($fields, 18,$lineCount);
foreach ($fields as $key = $value){
print $key|$value\r\n;
}
The format of the new file will be this:
01-Customer information
02-Other information
03a Required Info (that can repeat up to 15 times per line)
03b
04b
04-Close Customer Record
Repeat cycle for each row. The inner loop happens between the 02 and 04
records. Remember, I need to format each individual column, they are
different format options.
If you have some thoughts, I would be all ears as I have been starring at
this too long and too hard.
Thanks,
