I have a fiscal calendar table that I use for the same thing, storing
the date, day of the week and a column indicating whether the day is a
weekday, a weekend or a holiday. This allows me flexibility to also
use the table to set business shutdowns as a holiday.
A simple date query can return the number of holidays/weekends to do
the business day calculation.

You can't do a simple count of the holidays and add that, because
you might
end up with yet another holiday in the result.
Start at 12/23 and want to add 6 business days.
You find 1 holiday in between, so you add 7 business days and end
up on New
Year's Day, a non-business day.
12/23
12/24
12/25 X
12/26
12/27
12/28
12/29
12/30
12/31

I think MySQL has built-in holiday / work day calculations, come to
think
of it...
Exactly, ceo!
That's why I'm thinking of creating the array and then running a
foreach()
loop on the array.
$day = date("w");
$today = date("m-d-Y");
if ($day == 4 || $day == 5) {
$two_day = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")+4, date("Y"));
$two_day = date("m-d-Y", $two_day);
} else {
$two_day = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")+2, date("Y"));
$two_day = date("m-d-Y", $two_day);
}
foreach ($holiday as $h) {
if ($h >= $today && $h <= $two_day) {
$two_day = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m", $two_day), date("d",
$two_day)+1,
date("Y", $two_day));
$two_day = date("m-d-Y", $two_day);
}
}
That should add a day for each instance of a holiday that falls
between the
dates, right?

What about stripping out all the 'nuances' and just reducing it to

Hello,
I've been using PHP and Smarty for several years now and I am happy
with this "division" of data from presentation. With this
philosophy in mind, i am a bit perplexed as to how to handle the
text on my sites. That is, the text is data, so i am motivated to
store the text in a database, files, or the like, but then text is
loaded with little markup nuances (random italics/weight/colors,
etc...) that make template design rather ugly. This motivates me to
put markup (maybe even my own brand of markup) around the text, and
to store this markup-text combination in a database. But I don't
like this either, because a lot of the people writing the content/
text know word/writer not markup. So i am motivated to have them
save their text as .html, and I parse this file and modify
accordingly. However, i don't like this either as not all word/
writer styles are 1-to-1 with CSS. Without any options I am back to
thinking "hard code" the text with markup in included templates, but
it hurts just thinking of updating/modifying.
I have looked (briefly) at Web Content Management Systems, but this
seems like overkill really, maybe i'm ignorant.
What would the community suggest? The text can take on many forms,
introduction text, about text, product information, articles,
blurbs, (some changes daily, some doesn't) etc...where does all this
text live in 'properly' designed site.
Thanks in advance,

Hello Bastien,
The difficulty with implementing your suggestions is that say in a

Strip all tags except bold and italics. Then replace <b> with <strong>
and <i> with <em> since the former tags are deprecated. If semantic
meaning is not intended by <b> and <i> then replace with <span
class="bold"> and <span class="italic"> and create those CSS styles.
Cheers,
Rob.

hi php lovers,
I have a debian lamp stack and I want to use php to send a form to my
email server
that is on the same network. Someone suggested to me why don't i use
php.ini mail function.
But it says in the php.ini file for win 32 only.
Does anyone know how I can get php to direct my forms request across
the network
to the email server?

Do you mean that you need to send a mail directly from a web form?
If that is the case check this out:

Doesn't even need php.

What did you find in php.ini that works only for windowz?

But it does require the user to have an email client set up which is
not necessarily the case.

The SMTP host only works on Windows.

They mean not using sendmail but instead talking SMTP with a remote mail server.
I believe PHPMailer supports this - check it out...

I have a problem with using crypt(), passing only one parameter (ie, no
salt). When I do that, I get an empty string. When I do use a salt, it
returns the expected value. Does anybody have any ideas what might be
causing my problem? It only happens when I run it on my linux server, but
not when I run it on my Windows dev machine. Thanks in advance.

I am not sure what exactly is the problem. But check this from the manual:
If no salt is provided, PHP will auto-generate a standard two character
salt by default, unless the default encryption type on the system is
MD5, in which case a random MD5-compatible salt is generated.
http://gr2.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php
Perhaps your PHP compilation or the package are broken.

I figured out that I was running an older version of Suhosin. Apparently
this bug is fixed in Suhosin version 0.9.23 . I upgraded and everything
works great now. Thanks for the help.

This causes the production of weird characters in a cell in the
spreadsheet and after that cell everything is printed out of order.
The data in the mysql table are filtered for non-printable character
before the data import.
What data goes into that cell?
I am selecting from a mysql table where only text and numeric data exist.
Can you provide a hex dump of the data?
I am no sure how to do that in that case :-( .
How do you filter the data?
The data are being filtered by stripping all the non-printable
characters and by form validation using regxp.
How do you write it to the worksheet?
Using the pear extension Spreadsheet_Excel_Wrtiter.
What character encoding did you set?
UTF-8

If that 'web address' is a public ip address or uri then it should not

Hey,
I've just discovered the ArrayObject class, but it seems to not be well
documented, so here is my problem:
You can use ArrayObject::append() to add a new value to the array, but is
there also a method to add a new key and value?
And I know that I could extend the class and write my own method but isn't
this quite a base method for arrays in php? So maybe I just missed a obvious
point?
Quick example:
Without ArrayObject:
1. $array[] = $value
2. $array[$key] = $value
With ArrayObject:
1. $arrayObject->append($value)
2. ???
-eddy
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Did you try:
$a = new ArrayObject;
$a['sometest'] = 'somevalue';
?

its also worth pointing out, the above syntax is available b/c ArrayObject
implements the ArrayAccess interface.

It is weird, because what is on my code for appending and writing looks like
this:
$myFile = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a');
fwrite($fh, $hello);
fwrite($fh, "\r\n");
fclose($fh);
The file itself gets executed continuously based on the number I have on the
loop.
And, my file for creating the file, I have shortened it to only 2 lines:
$handle = fopen("testFile.txt", "w");
fclose($handle);
What is interesting is that the files seem to be working, but the file keeps on
getting appended rather than recreated when the my code to "w" the file get
executed. I am using this with Actionscript, which calls the first function to
open and write the file (or clean up the file), and then do whatever is needed
in the second function to append the text to the file.
Am I doing anything wrong here?
Thanks in advance.
