Let's say you have a week calendar that has openings between 8:00am to 5:00pm for Monday through Friday (40 hours). Then you have an assortment of appointments that must be scheduled into the week calendar. Some of the appointments are simply a one hour per week, while others may be two, three, four, or five times per week and each appointment for an hour or more (up to eight hours). The problem is, knowing what appointments (i.e., twice a week for 2 hours, three times a week for one hour, etc.) must be scheduled for the week, what is the most efficient way to schedule these appointments into that week? The most efficient way is defined as scheduling appointments with little, or no, gaps in between appointments. For example, four one-hour appointments on Monday between 8:00am to 12:00pm is better than four one-hour appointments spread out between 8:00am to 5:00pm. Anyone have any solutions, ideas, resources, code? Thanks, tedd _ t...@sperling.com http://sperling.com Tedd, There is an old general rule that the most time efficient way to schedule is to put the big time requests on the schedule first. In this case, that would mean schedule all five times a week requests first, then the four times a week, then the three times a week. The two hour requests should be scheduled next: three times a week and twice a week can be scheduled at the same time. Then fill in the rest with the one hour requests. Hope that makes sense. -= Bill =- -- A closed mouth gathers no feet.

Hi,
Can someone help me understand how money_format() rounds numbers ?
?php

$price = 12.665;
echo money_format('%i',$price);
// 12.66 EUR, 12.67 EUR expected

// 12.67 EUR, ok
echo round($price,2);
// 12.67, ok
echo round($price2,2);
// 12.67, ok
?
Misconfiguration ? Bug ?
Thanks !
Cyril
Config :
Debian Lenny, PHP 5.3.8
As someone else pointed out, rounding rules vary by locale, but I was taught
40+ years ago in graduate school programming class, 4 rounds down, 6 rounds up,
and 5 rounds to the even number. This means 65 rounds to 6, while 75 rounds to
8. Your example seems to follow that rule.

[PHP] Problem with Include
In an effort to clean up some code, I tried taking four lines out of 6 or 7 programs and putting them into an include file. The file structure is Root data clubs.php include fmt.inc Originally, clubs.php had the following code: ?PHP $file_name= basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); $last_modified = filemtime($file_name); print(This page last modified ); print(date(m/j/y, $last_modified)); ? This code works - on the web page I get This page last modified 12/18/2010 which is correct. So then I did the following: Create an include file, fmt.inc with the following code: $file_name= basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); $last_modified = filemtime($file_name); print(This page last modified ); print(date(m/j/y, $last_modified)); and then in the original file, I have ?PHP include ../include/fmt.inc; ? On my web page, I then get $file_name= basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);$last_modified = filemtime($file_name);print(This page last modified ); print(date(m/j/y, $last_modified)); (all on one line).

However, to address your question: one approach is to create a single quote flag (sqf) and a double quote flag (dqf). When you encounter the first quote, set that flag. When you encounter the second quote of the same type, clear the flag. At the end, both flags should be clear, or the html is mal-formed. You can also get more sophisticated and verify that you do not encounter a single, double, single sequence, or a double, single, double sequence. That gets more involved by remembering which quote was first, second, and third - third should be same as second, for example. -= Bill =- -- Don't find fault.

Re: [PHP] How can I detect an exception without using try/catch?
Ok, the details of the problem obviously aren't being understood.
Let's assume that I explained it poorly and I'll try again. Take the
following code (It's complete, cut/paste to see what happens.):
?php
class running {
private $running;
public function __construct() {
$this-running = true;
}
public function stop() {
$this-running = false;
}
public function __destruct() {
if ($this-running) {
throw new exception('I have not stopped running yet!');
}
}
}
function fail_horribly() {
throw new exception('This is the real error that I want a stack trace from');
}
function do_that_thing() {
$running = new running();
fail_horribly();
$running-stop();
}
try {
do_that_thing();
}
catch (exception $e) {
echo $e-getMessage();
}
?
While putting this together, I discovered lots of interesting
behaviour. Depending on exactly where I put the try/catch, there are
different things that happen and different errors that occur. It's
kinda interesting.
The thing is, that none of those errors is the result that I _want_
which is to ignore the fact that $running was unset and just report
the error that started everything going wrong.
If I could put my fictional function (get_current_exception()) in the
__destruct() method, I could detect that an exception was already in
progress and avoid throwing another one.

However, you either didn't read my entire message, or didn't understand it. I can't use either of those to detect an exception that's already in progress, I can only use them to catch the exception before the script ends if nothing else catches it.

[PHP] openssl extension problems: error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value
I'm trying to use the openssl extension for PHP. Having some problems and trying to figure out if the problem is in openssl or PHP's wrapper around it. The problem happens when I call openssl_pkey_get_private(). The function returns failure and openssl_error_string() returns error:0E06D06C:configuration file routines:NCONF_get_string:no value So, this is not a PHP error, per-se. But I'm wondering if PHP is Doing It Wrong, and thus causing this. The docs claim that a valid openssl.cnf is required, and I have one, but ktrace()ing the php script shows no attempt whatsoever to access the openssl.cnf file, so my first instinct is that PHP is doing something wrong. Some details FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p4 which includes 0.9.8e PHP php5-openssl-5.2.6_1 (installed from FreeBSD ports) Some specific questions: 1) Does the above error indicate that the openssl.cnf is not being used? 2) Is there anything I can do to get more verbose debugging? 3) Anyone on-list familiar with PHP's implementation?

I'm making a site for myself. I'm a paintbrush artist, among other things, and I've set a buying level for the visitors. But one can ask to raise his level so he can buy more things in one session. For that I use a mailto link sent to my hotmail with the request giving the name and address of the sender. And that's where I can't control anything. The guy may have written accented caracters in his record and when that info is brought back, it messes the Outlook msg window of the sender. Can I force Outlook msg composer to use my Mysql table collation ? Thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I've had pretty good success from the following:

Re: [PHP] character encoding
Hi Zoltan, A column in a table has Brbeuf in it. (3rd caracter is eacute;) In the body that column shows Brébeuf in Windows Outlook. How could I translate to the correct encoding so that accents show correctly in Outlook ? based on the encoding of your e-mail, my guess is that your data is in some ISO-8859-1 encoding or something like that. of course, you should verify that first. so try to send those emails with that encoding, or what's much better, use utf8 for both your data and your email. I think outlook can cope with that, though I'm not sure ;) The encoding can be set to utf-8 in the recieved email, what translates the encoding but the sender's outlook window doesn't. It's a site where you can ask the owner to upgrade your account limit by clicking on a mailto link who writes most of the email body. The data used is your record from a Mysql table. When you use that link it opens a email window and the body of that message isn't translated. So the people will see some garbage and may not send the email. If I try to change the encoding in the editing window of Outlook while this garbaged email shows it doesn't work. I still see the garbage, yet my outlook is set for utf-8 !!

Re: [PHP] Session still open
Hi socket open, then there are much smaller, simpler ways. Like what ? I meant as opposed to the session-handling method I sent in the other thread. However, you may want to look into having JavaScript handle the session-watching, and report to the server via AJAX calls every 30 seconds or so. If JavaScript doesn't PING the server at least once every thirty seconds, then you know either the user left the page or closed the browser. If it does, on the other hand, then the PHP side of the AJAX routine simply updates the [database/file/session info] to show that the user is still active. Hum. Then we rely on JS to implement security with conections. And JS is anything but secure AFAIK. I want to prevent one from taking over a session from one who left the site and left his desk for a moment. What if that connection were two servers communicating together !?

Any crooked mind could then steal the latent session and start fire in the system(s). All things that would've been good to know from your first message, rather than the vague nature in which it was sent. ;-P The question remains the same and the initial problem is still the same. My first concern is to avoid abandonned sessions from beeing stolen. The extention of that problem is automation between two servers, like from branches to the main office. In that case, encryption is not a solution. It doesn't even block cross-browser action. Apache has mod_unique_id that could be usefull but it's not the final answer IMO since it produces a unique ID based on a quadruple built on UTC, the PID, the IP and a counter. That doesn't tell if the socket is still open but only the last request the server satisfied. For small applications maybe a cron like you gave could be a solution but even so, will you set it to run eveny 30 seconds or so ?? I think it could be somewhat heavy for the server. Just imagine 60 simultaneous visitors. I would rely on JS to send an ID every 30 secs or so and wait for a new ID based on the preceeding one. Something like mod_unique_id.

Can you give us an example of two strings where the comparison fails?
I suspect you are looking for the number of entries in the
string, rather than the length of the string. For example:
$string1 = 1,2,3,4,5,6,9;
$string2 = 1,2,3,10,11,12;
number of entries in $string1 is 7, number of entries in
$string2 is 6, but length($string1) = 13, while
length($string2) = 14. Is this the problem you are seeing?
Yes that is the problem $string2 is what is saved in the database and
string1 is coming from a form. The form has every thing that is in the
database but could have some items added and some removed. I need to know
what is different so I can add to or remove from a separate table so both
tables are the same.
How about something like
$array_string1 = explode(',' , $string1);
$array_string2 = explode(',' , $string2);
$len_string1 = count($array_string1);
$len_string2 = count($array_string2);
Now you can compare the number of elements in $string1 ($len_string1)
vs. the number of elements in $string2 ($len_string2). And the two
arrays can be compared to see what the differences are.
You haven't really provided enough information about what is really
going on (nor is it necessary to do so), but is it possible that the
two strings could be different but have the same number of elements?
If so, then the lenght of the strings is not particularly relevant,
and you might just want to compare the specific elements of both
strings with each other.

This gets picked up on the next form and is used to feed a SELECT
statment that gets records associated with the particular league team.
This works just fine to capture the posted values and give them a name:
$team = $_POST['yourteam'];
$league = $_POST['yourleague'];
Further down on this page, I pass these variables off to the next form:
while ($thearray = mysql_fetch_array($res)) {
printf(FORM ACTION = scoreForm_last.php METHOD = POST
input type = hidden name = IDFIELD value = $thearray[id]
input type = hidden name = yourleague value = $league
input type = hidden name = yourteam value = $team
I pick them up on the next page like this:
$ID = $_POST['IDFIELD'];
$yourleague = $_POST['yourleague'];
$yourteam = $_POST['yourteam'];
This passes the record ID, the league and team along just fine to the
next form, BUT only the first word of each team comes through!
Avalon Bay becomes Avalon, etc.
Is there any obvious reason for this to be happening that you can see?
Or am I approaching this all wrong?
I'm using a similar approach to an umpire scheduling database and it
works just fine.
Thanks for any hints!

[PHP] IBM's Learning PHP Part 1 tutorial.
Newbie question.
I'm working my way through IBM's PHP tutorial. Generally good ... but
I'm stuck at an error point and have no idea what's going wrong.
Before adding a new row to the mysql database (already opened) we do a
query to see if a particular record already exists.
(see $resultT).
We then test, using if, to see if $resultT is true or false. If it's
false we are then supposed to enter a new record.
Problem: it's never false. It always evaluates true. What am I doing
wrong? TIA
/* build query to see if the record is entered already */
$sqlT = select * from users where username='.$_POST[name].';
$resultT = mysql_query($sqlT);
/* Now test -- did we find anything ... if not add this user */
if (! $resultT) {
/* here we add the new record if it doesn't already exit /*

Just tried a bit of code here and it seems to be working as expected (5.0.4 Win32) 1) I made an initial mistake by running my PHP script(s) from the command line and not from a server. 2) but now when running my PHP script(s) from a server I see that: file_get_contents() with a conditional get in a stream context works as expected; that is, the remote server returns a 304 not modified HTTP response header only. (if doing this with file_get_contents(), then the libxml_set_streams_context() function call is of course irrelevant). DOMDocument::load() with a conditional get in a stream context set via libxml_set_streams_context() shows odd results; that is, the remote server returns a 304 not modified in the HTTP response header, but also returns the file contents as well (!!??). That's a bit baffling -- a server shouldn't do that, since the 304 response header ends with connection: close, so I don't know how or why the file contents are being captured too. I would think a 304 response header means that the request header was properly interpreted and nothing but a header would be returned. Hard to know if the problem is on my end or on the remote server side. I note also that stream contexts send only as HTTP/1.0, and the remote server is returning HTTP/1.1, and I just don't know if that's a possible factor in this or not. Anyhow, I have a workable solution which is sort of ok -- use file_get_contents() with a conditional get in a stream context to fetch a remote file on an if-modified-since basis, then stuff the string result into a new DOMDocument() object and have at it that way. But of course I'm puzzled as to why libxml_set_streams_context() is doing what it's doing, and it would be nice to know how to get it to work if it can and should work elsewhere for others.

'If-Modified-Since: --- HTTP header into the stream, but no matter
how I try it I always get an HTTP 200 response when I know the last-

$context = stream_context_create($opts);
libxml_set_streams_context($context);
$doc-load('http://www.somewhere.com/somefile.xml');
echo $doc-saveXML();
using the same $context resource, this also produces the same result,
when I expect it should work.
file_get_contents('http://www.somewhere.com/somefile.xml', false,
$context);

it is.

[PHP] Fedora-Apache2-PHP exec() failure
Hi all,
I'm having the same problem as Jim Poserina. Richard pointed out some
things to try. Here's my story.
We installed Fedora 3 on a new box. Then we installed Apache 2 and
PHP 4.3.9 from the RPMs that came on the CDs. Pretty much everything
works as expected, except the exec() functions do not work in the web
server. There is no error message displayed in the browser or in the
error_log of apache. Here's the script:
?php
$x = exec(/bin/pwd, $y, $z);
echo brx is ; var_dump( $x );
echo bry is ; var_dump( $y );
echo brz is ; var_dump( $z );
?
Here is the output:
x is string(0)
y is array(0) { }
z is int(127)
If I run the php interpreter from the command line, exec() does work
ok. I can turn safe mode on and define a safe_mode_exec_dir and copy
/bin/pwd to it and then run that and the command line interpreter
honors that setting ok. The web page result doesn't change though. No
error message, no output. Just the 127 (-1?)
So, what do I have to change in my setup to get the exec functions to
work in the web server?
Thanks,
Bill Rausch

[PHP] Re: SimpleXML: DOM, SAX or Other?
Phpdiscuss - Php Newsgroups And Mailing Lists wrote: Hi, Does anybody have any depthful knowledge of the SimpleXML extension in PHP5?.. More accurately, do you know if the simpleXml-xpath() method uses DOM, SAX or some other method of parsing a loaded XML document? I ask because I am trying to parse arbitrary XML documents as efficiently as possible (avoiding DOM). Kieran Hi, I've recently done a fair bit of work trying to make sense (for me) of the various PHP 5 XML-related alternatives. The bottom line (for me) is that at the end of the day the DOM functions provide the most access and flexibility, although at the cost of slightly more design complexity. If I have to generate a new XML file, DOM (for me) is the way to go. The XML Parser found its home (for me) processing include files. The output of this process is a single XML file that I can feed into downstream processes. The SimpleXML routines found its home (for me) working with static XML files. I haven't figured out how to add elements to a SimpleXML object, so it tends to be limited to read-only applications. The SimpleXMLIterator found a home (for me) in creating ID's and node genelogical ID's. Oddly, the SimpleXMLIterator skips the root level xml element and I had to use DOM to add it back. I ended up creating wrappers and proxy classes for each of the above. This allowed me to gain some uniformity in my API's so tend to forget about what's happening underneath. I also ended up creating a DomXPathQueryManager class to hide some of the complexity in setting up and executing XPath queries. So, at the end of the day, I might use any or all in some combination, but know that the DOM functions are my backup that can do it all. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I remember from back in my MS-DOS days the very good Clipper compiler for the dBase III language. dBase III, not unlike PHP, was an interpretive language, and along the way some bright folks figured out how to write a true dBase language compiler, which then allowed for all sorts of nice things to happen. One of the nicest things for me was that the compiler caught all sorts of little things before the same code in the interpreter would find them at run-time. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] [php 5] static class variable question
[PHP5 RC1, Windows XP Pro] Hi, I have a few classes called Audio, System, etc. In order to not pollute the namespace (if someone else has a System class, for example), I'd like to separate my classes. One way of doing this would be to preprend each class with some text, to make my classes something like myProject_Audio, myProject_System, myProject_Whatever. I would much rather be able to do something like myProject::Audio, myProject::System. I would like to do this by creating a class called myProject and having Audio and System be static variables, referring to the classes Audio and System. The Audio and System variables in class myProject would act as an alias to the Audio and System classes.

[PHP] ASP.NET web control in PHP?
Dear All, I've a few months of experience in PHP programming. I'd like to know whether PHP has anything similar to the web control in ASP.NET? I found that ASP.NET is really handy when creating GUI for web applications. The web controls are quite easy to use and I like the DataGrid in ASP.NET a lot. I wonder whether there's any opensource project using PHP to build reusable GUI widgets for HTML pages? Thank you very much for your help.

[PHP] drop down list of years puzzles me
This works to create a drop down select box of numbers 1-12:
for($i=1; $i 13; $i++) {
echo option value={$i}.$i./option\n;
}
This doesn't to create a drop down box of years:
$curr_year = intval(date('Y'));
$range = 10;
for ($y=$curr_year; $y $range; $y++) {
echo option value={$y}.$y./option\n;
}
When I check for errors:
$curr_year = 2004
$curr_year is an integer
$range = 10
$curr_year + $range = 2014
$y = 2004
But my select box is empty... as in:
select name='yada'
/select
What is it that I don't understand?

RE: [PHP] mail question (mime)
Thanks for your replies. Figured it out, just blind. The $headers were written correctly (except for \r\n at end of lines though \n seems to work in this case). The problem was in the call to the boundary, the boundary has to start with -- outside the quoted string definition of the boundary, and end same with -- at the end of the message. -- Bill -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] mail question (mime)
Greetings all.
In an effort to understand more about mime mail with php, I'm writing a
little function to send a multipart/alternative encoded mime mail from a
browser interface. I know you guys have answered these types of questions
many times, but I've googled and research til I'm blue. I'm still somewhat
new to php so I apologize. I'm on a shared hosting environment running
Apache 1.3.29 (Unix), magic_quotes_gpc = on, path to sendmail =
/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i, smtp is localhost on port 25 (and I don't know
much about Unix permissions). My client platform is Mac, my email client is
Outlook Express (might as well be testing to the lowest common denominator).
I've found lots of php classes on mime mail but have not tried them because
I want to understand the code.
I can use this code to send plain text email or html email just fine, but
not multipart/alternative or mixed. Here's the relevant code. Can someone
point out the error of my ways?
browser interface: 5 fields (3 input of type=text, 2 input of type=textarea)
names:
$from
$to
$subject
$text_msg
$html_msg
On submit, I trim all and stripslashes on the textarea inputs (interesting
that magic quotes seems to add slashes to textarea inputs automatically),
then set my email headers:
$headers =From: {$from}\n;
$headers .=Reply-To: {$from}\n;
$headers .=Return-Path: {$from}\n;
$headers .=Subject: {$subject}\n;
$headers .=X-Sender: {$from}\n;
$headers .=X-Mailer: PHP\n;
$headers .=X-MSMail-Priority: High\n;
$headers .=MIME-Version: 1.0\n;
$headers .=Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary=\--i0o9u8h7g65v\;
$message =--i0o9u8h7g65v\n;
$message .=Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n;
$message .=Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n;
$message .=Content-Disposition: inline\n;
$message .=$text_msg.\n;//plain text message here
$message .=--i0o9u8h7g65v\n;
$message .=Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n;
$message .=Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n;
$message .=Content-Disposition: inline\n;
$message .=$html_msg.\n;//html message here
$message .=--i0o9u8h7g65v;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
The email is sent successfully, but with no message in the message body.
Looking at the message source I see that all of the headers are set and I
see the boundaries and I see both versions of the messages as one would
expect. It all looks correct, even as compared to other mime encoded email I
receive and read just fine. I've tried many variations on these variables.
FYI, if I change the $header = Content-Type: multipart/alternative; ;
to $message = Content-Type: ...; then I see the raw code in the message
body, but of course that does no good. Same results when message is viewed
in a browser based hotmail or yahoo account.
I simply do not understand what I don't understand, so I don't know how to
ask my question. Is this a coding problem, sendmail, permissions, a server
issue???
Thanks for your help.
