Hi John,
// convert your data to a timestamp:
$firstDayTs = strtotime($week5);
// add 4 days
$lastDayTs = $firstDayTs + (4 * 86400);
echo date('F', $firstDayTs) . ' ' . date('m', $firstDayTs) . '-' . date('m',
$lastDayTs);
Not tested. Maybe there's an easier way to do this.

Hi Jason,
thanks for the link. It helped me to find out that this does work:
class Car {
function drive() {
echo '';print_r(debug_backtrace());
}
}
class Porsche extends Car {
function drive() {
parent::drive();
}
}
By "tunnelling" the call through Porsche's own drive() method
debug_backtrace() will contain two traces, one of them with the correct
class name.
I tried using reflection but "reflecting" car by using __CLASS__ doesn't
give any information about the classes that extend it. So this doesn't work
either.
Rory's proposed way of reading in the file contents and preg_matching the
method name works, but it's very, very ugly, indeed! ;)
Isn't it somewhat ridiculous that there is no *easy* way in PHP5 to achieve
what I consider to be a pretty straightforward requirement?:
"Get name of the class that invoked a static call of an inherited method"
I would like to thank all of those that cared about my problem and tried to
find a solution by providing a wide variety of ideas. Thank you very much!!!
Do you think it would be wise to ask for help on php-dev?

Hi Jason,
thanks for taking a look but there *must* be a way to achieve this without
passing any parameters around. Otherwise I could just do:
Porsche::drive('Porsche');

Hi Daniel,
thanks for the idea but it causes an error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare property static public Car::$className in
class Porsche
If I ommit the definition of $className in Car I get this error:
Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: Car::$className
If I ommit the definition of $className in Porsche the return value is 'Car'
not 'Porsche'. Arrrgh!
Will keep on trying.

Of course this might work but it requires the definition of such a method in
*every* class I have.
Any more ideas?

[PHP] Get name of extending class with static method call
Hi list,
in PHP4 it was possible to get the name of the calling class with
debug_bcktrace(). Unfortunately this behaviour has been changed in PHP5. I
didn't find a solution in the archives.
Is there *any* way to get the name of the calling class?:
class Car {
function drive() {
// I need the name of the calling class here
// in this case it should be 'Porsche'
}
}
class Porsche extends Car {
}
Porsche::drive();
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Load all customers and while looping through the result set load all orders

// open db connection etc.

$result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM customers');
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

Hi Brent,
this is a case of variable scope:
http://de2.php.net/variables.scope
There are different ways to solve your problem:
1. Declare $coreLists global in your method:
function Entry() {
global $coreLists;
$users = $coreLists->UserList();
}
2. Access it via the superglobal $GLOBALS:
function Entry() {
$users = $GLOBALS['coreLists']->UserList();
}
3. Pass the variable it to the class constructor and assign it to a class
property:
var $coreLists;
function Data($coreLists) {
$this->coreLists = $coreLists;
}

Which means that your session value is NOT set. Your if/else should look

I guess you'll first have to delete all files in the directory. Try this
function:
/**
* Recursively clear a local directory
*
* @param string $sourceDirdirectory to delete
* @param integer $leveldirectory level (to avoid deleting the
root dir)
*/
function clearDirectory($sourceDir, $level = 0)
{
// proceed if source directory exists
if (is_dir($sourceDir))
{
// read dir contents
if ($handle = opendir($sourceDir))
{
/* This is the correct way to loop over the
directory. */
while(false !== ($dirItem = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($dirItem != '.' && $dirItem !=
'..')
{
// directory
if (is_dir($sourceDir . '/'
. $dirItem))
{
clearDirectory($sourceDir . '/' . $dirItem, $level + 1);
}
// file
elseif (file_exists($sourceDir
. '/' . $dirItem))
{
unlink($sourceDir .
'/' . $dirItem);
}
}
}
// remove directory if it's not the root one

rmdir($sourceDir);
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
}
It will delete all direcotries and files *inside* the specified directory.
So the directory itself will not be deleted.
Just call it like this (without trailing slash!!!):
clearDirectory('/path/to/directory'); // or on windows
clearDirectory('c:\path\to\directory');
Hope it works for you.

Hi Dre,
Nick already answered your question so just a short note:
you should not use session_register() with your PHP version anymore, so just
delete the first of the upper two lines.
Excerpt from the manual:
>>>
Caution
If you are using $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS), do not use
session_register(), session_is_registered(), and session_unregister().

This might make sense when you have a protected area on your web site.
Having the session run all the time would allow the user to naviagte the
whole site *after* login without losing his authentication. When he is
logged in, just store some kind of value or object in the session. On the
protected pages check for this value. If it's not in the session redirect to
a login page.

You can control this yourself - usually you don't have to start a new
session after login. But applying session_regenerate_id() adds a bit of
security because it changes the session id (which might have been public
before login).
See:

>
> C/ (The reverse), if a user goes from logged in, identified user to a

Use session_destroy() and redirect to the start/login page with a clean:
header('location: http://www.yoursite.com'); exit;
This will start a new session. You might also need to unset a cookie before
session_destroy() if you are using cookies.

I guess you'll first have to delete all files in the directory. Try this
function:
/**
* Recursively clear a local directory
*
* @param string $sourceDirdirectory to delete
* @param integer $leveldirectory level (to avoid deleting the
root dir)
*/
function clearDirectory($sourceDir, $level = 0)
{
// proceed if source directory exists
if (is_dir($sourceDir))
{
// read dir contents
if ($handle = opendir($sourceDir))
{
/* This is the correct way to loop over the
directory. */
while(false !== ($dirItem = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($dirItem != '.' && $dirItem !=
'..')
{
// directory
if (is_dir($sourceDir . '/'
. $dirItem))
{
clearDirectory($sourceDir . '/' . $dirItem, $level + 1);
}
// file
elseif (file_exists($sourceDir
. '/' . $dirItem))
{
unlink($sourceDir .
'/' . $dirItem);
}
}
}
// remove directory if it's not the root one
if ($level > 0)
{
rmdir($sourceDir);
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
}
It will delete all direcotries and files *inside* the specified directory.
So the directory itself will not be deleted.
Just call it like this (without trailing shlash!!!):
clearDirectory('/path/to/directory');
Hope it works for you.

As you should have a fixed parameter order in your function you don't need
to pass the variable names in. So this is OK for up to three or four params:
doStuff('value1', 'value2', 'value3', 'value4');
If your function takes more than four parameters an associative array would
be the way to go (your first example). You might consider splitting it up
into several functions if it takes that many arguments.

Hi Francisco,
just point the form action to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. Then check the POST
value of the relevant dropdown and do your queries. For example:
// the value of your selects will probably be ids that's why you should cast
them to integers
if (isset($_POST['select1'])) {
$select1 = (int) $_POST['select1'];
// do your query for select2
}
if (isset($_POST['select2'])) {
$select2 = (int) $_POST['select2'];
// do your query for select3
}
if (isset($_POST['select3'])) {
$select3 = (int) $_POST['select3'];
// do your query for select3
}
if (isset($_POST['select4'])) {
$select4 = (int) $_POST['select4'];
// insert your data
}
I hope you get my point. For user convenience you could use JavaScript's
onChange() event to auto-submit the first three selects when the user has
selected a value.
Best regards, Torsten Roehr

Hi Kevin,
with PHP4 &$db means the value is passed by reference. Otherwise a copy of
$db would be passed to the method. See here:
http://de2.php.net/references
With PHP5 variable assignments or passing variables to functions by
reference is standard.
$this->db is the PHP equal to this.varName. You access property db of the
current object. Methods are called this way:
$this->methodName()
Hope this clears things up a bit.

Hi,
remove the global $_SESSION; lines in your functions - they are uneccessary.
Have you tried resetting $_SESSION instead of unset()?:
$_SESSION = array();

Take a look at PEAR's HTTP_Download:
http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Download
This package is exactly what you are looking for.

If you cannot edit your php.ini put this line at the top of all your
scripts:
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 7200);
You can also set this environment variable with a .htaccess file. Search the
archives to find out how the exact syntax is.

I guess your loop should look like this:
while ($registo = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
echo '' . $registo[1] . '';
}
You can use mysql_fetch_assoc() and then access the values by their column
name:
$registo['column1'], $registo['column2'] etc.

Hi, setup your array starting with the highest values: $array = array(200, 200, 100, 50, 30); Then use array_count_values($array). This will give you an associative array where the key is the former value and the value is the number of the occurrences. In your case this would be: array(200 => 2, 100 => 1, 50 => 1, 30 => 1); Then loop through the array with foreach() and check each element for the value 1. When you have found the first array element with a value of 1 exit from the loop with break. Hope this works for you.

Hi Angelo,
your code looks right but you should see the session id in the address bar
after the redirect. Does echo SID produce any output?
By the way, I don't think you need to call session_write_close().

Hi Angelo,
where's your session_start()? Also you can use isset() instead of
session_is_registered():
if (isset($_SESSION['login']))

Hi,
if you use the input type 'image' you have to check for name_x or name_y, so
in your case:
$_POST['submit'] = isset($_POST['submit']) ? $_POST['submit_x'] : '';
Whenever you have problems like this do a print_r($_POST) at the top of the
second page. This will show you all submitted values.

To use array values within double quotes you have to put curly braces around
them:
$MembersDataQry = "SELECT * FROM MembersData WHERE
UserID='{$_SESSION['logname']}'";
Or concatenate the string:
$MembersDataQry = "SELECT * FROM MembersData WHERE UserID='" .
$_SESSION['logname'] . "'";
Remember to apply mysql_real_escape_string() on any values used within a
query.

Hi Rob,
maybe you can use the ternary operator syntax for the affected lines:
echo (conditional) ? 'lines of JavaScript'
: 'other lines of JavaScript';
