RE: [PHP] Round
I believe there is some confusion on what ABS actually does. Ignoring all
the rounding that you are trying to do ABS is a very simple function.
ABS definition: Returns the absolute value of number.
What that means is.
Abs(1) = 1
Abs(2) = 2
Abs(3) = 3
Abs(0) = 0
Abs(-1) = 1
Abs(-2) = 2
Abs(-3) = 3
Simply put, returns the positive value of the number given. Thus if you put
it on a negative number it will always return positive.
This most likely doesn't help what your trying to do, but I wanted to
clarify this as you keep stating you are expecting a -1 when you use the ABS
function. Unless someone has some trick that I don't know about, ABS will
NEVER return a negative number.

It didn't take much thinking this time if you were expecting
-1 for the last answer, you'd be wrong. ;-P
The very nature of abs() is to return an absolute number, which is
never a negative.
Exactly my point, abs() is not the answer
if he had any negative number that did not round to zero, say it would round
to -2, then having the
abs() in the calculations would return 2 instead of -2, which would be
wrong.
From what I read from the OP, I don't think this is what he was looking
for.
the op was asking why he got -0 instead of 0. not for a solution to fix it.
ok, better example.
plaintext?php
$list[] = 1; # I expect to get 1 and I get 1
$list[] = -1; # I expect to get -1 but I get 1
$list[] = -1.2; # I expect to get -1 but I get 1
$list[] = -0.23;# I expect to get 0 and I get 0
$list[] = -0.75;# I expect to get -1 and I get 1
foreach ($list AS $value) {
var_dump( abs( round($value) ) );
}
?
But, from what the OP says, he would get -0 instead of 0 for the 4th entry.
Am I correct with this?
if so, you could try casting it as an int like so
var_dump( (int)round(-0.26) );
That might fix the problem

[PHP] urlencode - urldecode
Hi, I am using a header(location:) to send a rawurlencod'ed string to another script...then I tried decode it and use those values...but its not working... snippets of my code: // sending file: $one=rawurlencode(dir_name=$dir_nameimgs_dir=$imgs_dirthumb_pre=$thumb_pretn_width=$tn_widthtn_height=$tn_heightwrite_text=$write_textcolors=$colorsx_pos=$x_posy_pos=$y_poslink1=$link1link2=$link2link3=$link3img_src1=$img_src1img_src2=$img_src2); header(location: process.php?a=.$one); Am totally confused as to how to use urldecode to get back my values to do other operations in my script.. I tried the example from php.net: (example 1) http://se2.php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php but am unable to adapt it to give me my variables/values. The reason I am using rawurlencode is because $link1 and $link2 will contain html tags...

Hi, I am just starting out with regex (and classes) so am not sure how to do this... I am seeing if a HTML file exists, if yes, I am using file_get_contents to get the entire HTML file into a string.

[PHP] Flush()....go to bottom of page (might be 0T)
Hi,
I am using flush() and ob_flush() in one of my scripts
and its working great.., just one problem, as it keeps
outputting x on the screen the page just stays on
top...is there anyway (I am not sure via php...but
maybe JavaScript? ) to make the browser follow the
output below
eg:
keep the scroll below right next to the text.
This is what i am using:
for($i=0; $i1000;$i++)
{
echo somethingbr;
echo str_repeat( , 256); flush(); ob_flush();
sleep(1);
}

Re: [PHP] Re: regex help and file question
Hi, I can't answer your regexp question but some thoughts on file() etc.: - file() returns the contents line by line as an array, so this makes only sense if you need the contents in this form, e.g. for looping through each line and applying a function or whatever - fread() requires a file handle that you have to create with fopen(), so file_get_contents() is kind of a shortcut for fopen()/fread() Hey, Thanks for replying and the answer to my second Q, sounds like file_get_contents() is good for me now. I think i found a solution for the regex too, just have to modify some parts.

[PHP] sorting an array..dont know numeric or alpha-numeric
Hi,
I have a function that reads jpg files (thumbnails)
from a directory and puts all the files names into an
array...I want to sort that array by the filename,
problem is, I dont know if filenames will be pure
numeric (eg 001.jpg,002.jpg) or alpha-numeric
(asdf001,asdf002)
It HAS to be sequential from small to big (eg: 0-10)
as I am making static html pages from them further
down the program.
Looking in the manual I have tried sort() without any
luck, then looking further I found natcasesort() which
would be perfect for my needs right now, but cant get
it to work :-(
Below is the function (its not big)
*** Start function
function directory($dir,$filters){
$handle=opendir($dir);
$files=array();
if ($filters == all){while(($file =
readdir($handle))!==false){$files[] = $file;}}
if ($filters != all){
$filters=explode(,,$filters);
while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false) {
for ($f=0;$fsizeof($filters);$f++):
$system=explode(.,$file);
if ($system[1] == $filters[$f]){$files[] = $file;}
endfor;
}
}
closedir($handle);
return $files;
}
$pics=directory(pics,jpg,JPG,JPEG,jpeg,png,PNG);
*** End function
I have tried putting natcasesort() in many places but
not working
Thanks in advance.

For starters, if your going to provide some code, make sure its readable by others.. trying to figure out what it is doing is nearly impossible the way it is written.. Sorry about that, I didnt write the code, I snipped it off from phpbuilder (i think, might have been another php help site) and since it was working I didnt touch or do anything. Will go through the modifications and advise you gave me and will write back if.. any problems.

[PHP] Confused...need some programming logic
Hi,
I have 13 folders with a few thousand images each, now
the client wants me to export the gallerys to
another server that does not run phpso he wants
plain .htm files.
Below is how far I have come to porting this... the
idea being: generate .html files then simply copy the
images folders to the clients other server and
dump the html files there and he has a gallery ready
to go..this is how i thought of it:
1: read number of images from a directory (done)
2: After reading, divide the number by 100 (eg: 1348
images equals 14 pages...last page only 48 pics)
(done)
3: Dynamically create the .html files via a fopen
(done)
4: put 100 img tags to call 100 images per page
(confused here)
The images are numbered sequentially but dont start
from 0 or 1, they start from something like 00047.jpg
or 0024.jpg etc
I think I will need a foreach (and tried a
foreach...but didnt work) but am confused...ANY help
appreciated.
** Start code
?php
function directory($dir,$filters){
$handle=opendir($dir);
$files=array();
if ($filters == all){while(($file =
readdir($handle))!==false){$files[] = $file;}}
if ($filters != all){
$filters=explode(,,$filters);
while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false) {
for ($f=0;$fsizeof($filters);$f++):
$system=explode(.,$file);
if ($system[1] == $filters[$f]){$files[] = $file;}
endfor;
}
}
closedir($handle);
return $files;
}
$pics=directory(pics,jpg,JPG,JPEG,jpeg,png,PNG);
$total_pics=count($pics);
$pages = ceil($total_pics / 100); // using ceil so
12.23 translates to 13
$content=Mag;
/*
foreach ($pics as $p)
// $p is the name of the file
{$content.=$content.img src='thumbs/tn_.$p.';}
*/
for($i=0; $i$pages;$i++)
{
if($i==0){$j=;}else{$j=$i;}
$index=index.$j;
if(!$handle = fopen($index..html, w))
{echo Cannot open file ($filename);exit;}
if(fwrite($handle, $content) === FALSE)
{echo Cannot write to file $filename);exit;}
fclose($handle);
}
echo The end;
?
** End code
The above code is working so far as to:
1.read from the dir
2.create the required number of pages while making
sure the first page is index.html
3. Writing some content in..in this case just: Mag
Thanks,
Mag

Hey,
Just change the echo to an fwrite.
for($j = 0; $j 100; ++$j) {
if($pics[$i * 100 + $j]) {
fwrite($handle, 'img src='.$pics[$i * 100 +

}
}
Works like a charm, thanks a million.

[PHP] class help (PLEASE)
Hi,
After searching the archives and google I found a
class that does bb code conversions, although I know
how to use classes (thanks to the docs the writers
write) I dont really understand them too well.
The class is REALLY good and covers all my needs
(which is to display php code in colors) but
unfortunatly if there is no carrage return in the text
it screws up my entire table...
eg:
I have a table width=70% , after calling this class
if I try to display this:
$result = mysql_query(insert into the_articles
(author, headline, content10, content1, content2,
content3, content4, content5, content6, content7,
content8, content9, date, confirm, pages, link10,
link1, link2, link3, link4, link5, link6, link7,
link8, link9, typeNews) values .
it expands my table to more than 150% and screws up my

If somebody could please just edit the classfile so it
breaks long text strings to the next line and does
not screw up my page layout I will be MOST grateful
and sing your praises, plus name my first child after
you (heck, if you're a woman will name my next
girlfriend after you!) :-)
The classfile is below (tried writing to the author
but I dont think he speaks english coz his website's
in Italian I think: http://www.3site.it/)

Hey Jason,
No offense at all taken, am happy you read part of my
help-email.
Problem is, like I said, I dont have a clue about the
workings of a class and all the pointing like this
$this- blah
gets me totally confused so I really dont know which
part IS the problem part.
Anybody knowing of a good class tutorial...would be
appreciated.
I tried to figure it out by myself looking at the
code, but I guess I have to learn about classes (have
not come to that yet) before I know where the problem
is, but having a look for the newline part I think
this is the problem part:
$preserve = md5( \n\r);
$elaborate = preg_replace(/( )([\\n\\r]+){1}(
)/, $preserve, $elaborate);
$elaborate = preg_replace(/( )([\\n\\r^ ]+){1}/,
$preserve, $elaborate);
$elaborate .= */;
I know the class looks massive but if you copy and
paste it into a editor that colors PHP code (I use
editplus), you will see that a s***load of it is
comments on how to use the class and layouts,css,
initialization etc (even I could understand that so
I'm guessing it has to pretty simple), then comes the
preg_replace and eregi which confuses the crap out of
me.

[PHP] Learning Regex
Hi, Does anybody know of a good place to learn how to work with regex? Google has quite a few links for learn pattern matching or learn php regex but none that start you on baby steps. Any recommendations?

[PHP] RSS and your opinion needed.
Hi, Some time back I came on the list and asked your advise for a class that gets RSS feeds from diff sites, I got quite a few good sites and a particular class that was really good. Unfortunatly I lost it in a webhost change but here is what it did: It got the feed and cached it for a day (or two - not too sure) so that speed and performance was improved instead of fetching it every time, it also allowed me to customize the links out (eg: open in new window) Any idea which class that is and where can I download it? if not that one, can you recommend one that is good? (and free) Lastly, I have never worked with RSS feeds before, can you tell me how many links are ok per page? E.g: I have a page with content and on the right the feeds links will display... I was thinking of putting 9 links per page(3 each from 3 diff sites)...or is that too much? Thanks, Mag __ Do you Yahoo!?

Good solution, but the problem is once the program is
completed it goes out of my hands and most prolly the
client wont know the exact paths, the templates folder
would *always* be one below...but the path before the
/templates will change.
Anyway, heres what I have come up with, comments are
welcome:
$pieces = explode(/, $_SERVER[PATH_TRANSLATED]);
$a=count($pieces);
$f=;
for($i=1; $i $a-2; $i++)
{$f=$f.$pieces[$i]./;}
$include_path= /.$f;

Re: [PHP] Include path (SOLVED)
Hey everyone, ** Have you tried $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/'; ** Matt, DAMN! THATS what I was looking for. No, didnt try that, took the long route home instead, but atleast brushed up on php's explode function. ** $baseDir = $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]; $templatesDir = $baseDir . /templates/; include($templatesDir . header.php); include($templatesDir . body.php); include($templatesDir . footer.php); ** Ed, perfect. ** Have you tried; Include ../templates/header.php; ** Warren, yep, tried that and also ../../templates/header.php; and more, it was going to the root (/home/sites/ etc) Thanks, everyone.

[PHP] Zend Enc and 0T Q
Hi all, Our company has decided to encrypt the php programs that we sell, I have to choose which encryption package to buy. After a lot of seaching (on this list(archives), google, forums etc) I saw a quite a few products like ioncube, zend, codesecure, blender, mmCache encryptor etc etc unfortunatly blender is not yet ready for stable production use and althought I was leaning towards mmcache as its free, not every host will be too happy to install mmCache so I have decided to go with Zend encryptor (not too bad a price for the small business companies - companies that make less than $250k a year - which is what we currently fall under) I just wanted your comments on this, good idea? bad? any of you guys tried it? any problems with hosts not willing to install the optimiser to run encrypted scripts? stable? etc I have googled for these questions and it seems very favourable, but I figure it would be wise to ask you guys as you use php everyday/nearly everyday and can give me better feedback as the average joe (a lot of the sites recommending Zend Enc are linking to zend with a little affiliate tag...so i'm guessing some of them are biased). Off topic Q, My ISP has blocked me sending mail from my local machine (they have blocked port 25) any program (for windows (2000 pro)) that can send mail on another port? I used to use Merak mail server. Thanks in advance. -Mag = - The faulty interface lies between the chair and the keyboard. - Creativity is great, but plagiarism is faster! - Smile, everyone loves a moron. :-) __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [PHP] Zend Enc and 0T Q
Hi, Thanks for replying. And the loss is entirely theirs. MMache really can take a load of your webserver. True, but its easier to tell a webhosting company to install a Zend product as they are the maker of PHP blah blah than to tell them to install an untrusted 3rd party app like mmCache. The above applies only to webhosts who are mostly half wits, my present webhost (hub.org) are very nice guys and know their business. (ps. I dont get anything from hub for the plug above) Correct me if I am wrong, but according to my understanding when an optimizer is installed it does not matter which encoder was used to encode the scripts. News to me, I thought each encryptor has its own style of encrypting the phpwill check up but I think thats true. Off topic Q, My ISP has blocked me sending mail from my local machine (they have blocked port 25) any program (for windows (2000 pro)) that can send mail on another port? I used to use Merak mail server. how about using SSH tunneling instead. Never tried it, any examples for a win2k pro machine?
