Hi all,
I am wanting to retain the array indexes after it being sliced. Here is what I
have so far.
if ($user_count > $group_count)
{
for ($i = 0; $i < $user_count; $i+=$group_count)
{
$output = array_slice($properties['users'], $i, $group_count);
print_r($output);
}
}
Every time the array is sliced it results with arrays which have new idexes.
Is there a way I can retain the array indexes when slicing the array.
regards,
Jeffery

Notice that the fourth parameter of array_slice will only work in PHP 5, and
not for string keys.
There's no associative array slicing function that I know of (it would be a
good idea for PHP to incorporate one), so I use the following two, which
work for numeric or string keys, and work for PHP 4 or 5.
function xarray_slice_assoc($array, $keys) {
/* TODO: Error Handling */
$result = array();
foreach ($keys as $key):
// You can use array_key_exists instead of isset to allow for NULLs and
avoid PHP Notices
if (isset($array[$key])):
$result[$key] = $array[$key];
endif;
endforeach;
return $result;
}
function xslice_assoc() {
/* TODO: Error Handling */
$args = func_get_args();
$array = array_shift($args);
return xarray_slice_assoc($array, $args);
}
You can call them like this:
$userLogin = xslice_assoc($_REQUEST, 'user', 'password');
// $userLogin is now an array with "user" and "password" fields, or only
"user", or only "password" or an empty array
$someRecords = xarray_slice_assoc($someRecordset, array(1, 25, 32, 4));
// $someRecors will contain records number 1, 25, 32 and 41 if they exist

Hi there,
I would to provide the users of an internet community I am running the
oportunity to import their adress books. As this seems to be a more
complex script and others might have done it before, I am searching for
a script that does that. I already found one that can do this for
hotmail gmail aol etc, but not for the german e-mail providers like gmx
and web.de
Has somebody a good hint where to search for it? I would be also happy
to purchase it.
Best regards,
Merlin

Did you look for files named config.php? I would try to find out which file
is loaded instead of the wanted one. Maybe you could use
fopen('config.php','r',TRUE); and check the contents of that file to get an
idea where it comes from? If it happens only with a file of this name, I
would assume that there is a file of this name somewhere in the include_path

This sounds completely reasonable.
If all databases have the same structure, you
may consider having actually only one
database, identifying the records belonging
to a given customer by 'customer_id'.
This way maintenance and further development
of the 'databases' will be easier.

hello
under what EXACT circumstances does UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL and
UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE occur?
...NO_FILE, does it happen ONLY if the user submits a form without
choose a file to upload, or can this one also cover corrupt file data
that php could not parse?
...PARTIAL, does it happen if the user presses STOP in his browser
while uploading or he pulls out his network cable? if so, then he will
never see any error message served upon this error... or does is it
this one that covers corrupt mime data in the post?
--- End Message ---

what is the thought behind php not providing access to original post
data? this removes any chance of analyzing corrupt upload data, which
is often the case with mobile browsers. can future versions of php
please include a way of viewing raw server requests in full?

IE and FF both offer a UI to input the user's preferred language, it's
an HTTP standard thing and nothign to do with user agents string
parsing. It uses the Accept-Language header sent with http requests to
detect the language. It's quite standard but problems usually crop up in
e.g. Australia and the UK where a lot of people leave the default en-US
language when en-GB or en-AU would be better. Again it's not infallible
but it's a fairly good starting point.
ditto.
So, sniffing the browser to determine language isn't the same as
browser sniffing -- OK.
Sorry, my bad.
Cheers,
tedd

there is no sniffing of the browser - merely a case of parsing the contents of
the Accept-Language header if the browser sent it along with the request
regardless
of what browser is being used.
there is no reason to assume that anyone would want to spoof the
Accept-Language header
to contain something that doesn't correspond with what the user wants ... why
set japanese
as a preferred language if you don't speak it? and if they do do that and end
up getting a
site in japanese then really that is the users problem not the site developers.
it not the same as ouput different content/layout/etc based on the UserAgent
string -
which is known to be spoofed in order to combat idiot developers attempts to
force
people to use certain browser (for whatever reason)
I mean, we don't assume that the requested URL is not what the user really
wanted?
e.g. user requests example.com/foo.php but we know that it's likely to be
spoofed so
we'll help out and server them example.com/bar.php ???
besides which I did state that using Accept-Language header to determine a
[probable]
suitable language should be done in addition to offering the user an explicit
language
selection mechanism.
lastly I think using GEO-IP services to determine location and thereby an
implied
language is worthless in general - I can be sitting anywhere on the planet and
still want
to view content in Dutch, not to mention things like global corporate gateways,
anonymous
proxies, etc, etc. The exception to this could be when the website in question
is specifically
offering localised data (e.g. find me a restaurant/garage/whatever in Rotterdam)

no need for the sarcasm Tedd, seems we have differing opinions on this -

Wow! I love this group, ask and you shall receive. Thanks everyone for the
comments and suggestions.
The following snippet from Andrés Robinet would actually suit my current
project..
define('DEFAULT_LANG_ID', 'en');
function getLanguageId() {
// Allow for language id override in $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE
$req_lang_id = $_REQUEST['lang_id'];
// Retrieve the one stored in the session if any
$sess_lang_id = $_SESSION['lang_id'];
// $lang_id will contain the lang id retrieved from request (overrides
session),
// or from session or a default one
$lang_id = isset($req_lang_id) ? $req_lang_id : (isset($sess_lang_id) ?
$sess_lang_id : DEFAULT_LANG_ID);
// Save it for next time
$_SESSION['lang_id'] = $lang_id;
return $lang_id;
}
but the idea of getting a preferred language from the browser is also a
great strategy ( I didnt know you could do that, Im such a noob) so I
think that I will investgate that further.
The problem with IP address is that usually it is not tied to one particular
user so I will scrap that idea.
Am I correct that if two people are logged on using two different languages
that the session var will keep track of the different users (by IP I assume)
and the server wont mess up?
Anyway thanks everyone for all the great help, Im on a nearly vertical
learning curve here and its great to have this community to draw on. Im
pretty much working in a vacuum otherwise.

lol. If you define this as "sniffing" tedd, then I by that token you'd
have to define the "GET / HTTP/1.1 \n Host: www.mysite.com" bit as
sniffing too ;)

Jochem:
This just hasn't been my week -- everyone (long story) thinks I'm
being sarcastic when I'm not.
The "Sorry, my bad" means "I apologize, my mistake." How can that be
taken as sarcasm?
As for being "hung-up" -- again, I'm clueless. I mistakenly thought
that anything obtained from the browser was subject to suspicion as
is any outside data. But apparently you can "trust" (I realize within
certain limits) some things provided by the browser -- that's news to
me.
Boy, I got to work on my communication skills because everyone can't
be wrong, right?
Again, thanks for your explanation -- and that's not being sarcastic.
I'm just trying to communicate without offending/annoying anyone.
Maybe I should end every line with a smiley? :-)
Cheers,
tedd

yes, the contents of $_SESSION are stored per user. this is tracked by way of a
session cookie (which is just another cookie really) that PHP (under normal
circumstances)
automatically sends and parses (when you call session_start()).

Sessions are per-user and are not global (you'd need to use something
like memcache or similar for global persistence). PHP is different from
e.g. ASP/JSP which implement a "Share everything" system, vs PHP's
"Share nothing" (these are real terms believe it or not!).
Sessions usually work via a cookie that PHP set's automatically the is
stored for the duration of their visit on your site (till they restart
their webbrowser). By default the cookie is called PHPSESSID. If a user
has cookies disabled PHP can rewrite your HTML URLs on the fly to
include the argument on the GET vars (sess_use_trans_id) but this is far
from reliable.

You are right. Being suspicious with data coming from the browser is a
pretty good reflex. But, as long as you use the accept-language header
only for detecting the user's native language, you do not risk a lot. In
the worst case, your will set your site's language to something that is
not the user's native language. In that case, you only need to allow him
to change this setting manually.
You can base yourself on information provided by the browser, but as you
say, I believe that we should not rely completely on it. This is why
allowing the user to change his language, in your case, becomes important.
It's always a balance between risk and usability.
Hope this helps,

your right about the trust issue but I don't think trust is the point in this
case.
looking at what the browser offered as accepted languages is merely a way of
trying to
be helpful - you still have to parse the relevant header in a safe way.

Always make sure you reply to the list...
And yes, you can export as an ical format, just look at an ical file and
format your output to it. It's just like doing the CSV/CVS/TXT or any
other file, you just have to put it in the right format with the right
extension when exporting.

sometimes you just get the urge to say something like "No that's impossible,
PHP is completely incompatible with the iCal format, it's a non-ICal scripting
language" or "No, the php-class-creation-magic-wand doesn't support iCal output
generator functionality"
... but then that's probably because today is a virtual monday.

No, that's fine to state. Using it to power a website is not
redistributing PHP, only using it as a platform. What this means in
the context of that portion of the license, related to the whole,
could be reworded as such:
"You can redistribute PHP in any way, shape, or form you want, so
long as you don't use the name PHP anywhere in the name of the package
you're distributing."
However, if you're creating software which uses the PHP engine or
is programmed in the PHP language, you'll need permission prior to
using "PHP" in the name. Examples of software that use that are
phpBB2, phpFox, et cetera.

no. if you say "Powered by PHP" you are merely endorsing and/or promoting PHP
itself and notsome derivative.
the PHP group don't want you to create a fork of PHP and then go name it PHPFork
or something like that.
they don't like it when applications written in PHP use PHP in the application
name,
the reason being it gives the impression to the unwashed masses that said
application
is a product of or endorsed by the PHP group ... take for instance PHPBB -
given the
ammount of flak that project has had with regard to security flaws you can
understand
why the PHP group would like to distant itself from said project.
that said the enforcement of this license requirement is patchy at best ... as
the
project named PHPBB illustrates, which makes me wonder in how far this
particular
requirement is enforcible and/or legally binding.
basically if you have an application written in PHP and want to share it with
the world
it shouldn't be hard enough to come up with a catchy name that doesn't include
'PHP'
in the name ... heck you were creative to write the code in the first place!

Jochem

Isn't it always the obvious thing that fixes things?? ;-)
Inside the '/usr/local/pear' was the pear 'Config.php' file.
PHP was not using the local version, but grabbing this one instead.
I have adjusted the include_path so that this will no longer happen.
Thanks to everyone that chimed in. :-)

I rather to store images on the file-system, since database is another
level over the file-system. However, I still need to store a pointer for
every image into the database. This leads to storing the file names
twice: one time in file-system, and one time in db.
Isn't this redundancy?
Sometimes we can avoid this, especially if we have an image per
record (e.g., Users' Avatars).
Suppose you allow each user to upload a GIF/PNG/JPEG image;
the below code assigns the correct image for every user:
foreach ($users as &$user) {
$user['avatar'] = reset(glob('../img/avatars/' . $user['id'] .
'.*'));
}
If you can grant the images are .GIF, then you can reduce the
overhead of searching for images:
foreach ($users as &$user) {
$user['avatar'] = '../img/avatars/' . $user['id'] . '.gif';
}

Hello!
I have a php application (self-written) that has to compute a huge
amount of data (several GB). I am using PHP as a module of apache.
The problem is that the apache process seems to use at most 2GB of
memory. My two 64-Bit Debian servers have 4GB and 8GB of RAM and about
80GB Swap but only 2GB are used.
Do you have an idea what parameters I could change to make php use more
memory?
BTW: It really is not a memory hole problem. The app is doing tons of
calculation over a 50GB database.
I already set the limits in php.ini to "-1".
Thanks in advance,
Damian

Good morning (/afternoon/evening) all;
This is more or less an RFC-type email, hence the subject line. I
would like to see your comments on this case, and maybe we can forge
some sort of agreement or unofficial treaty or something.
Oftentimes we see a user post a question to the list, with ongoing
discussion back-and-forth on a troublesome issue, and when a solution
is found, the subject line has an added [SOLVED] tag on it. While
this makes sense in a forum style arena, where posts are binded
statically in the same group, it defeats the purpose of mailing list
archives such as Nabble and GMANE. A recent email from this morning
illustrates the problem, as displayed presently at this page:
http://www.nabble.com/PHP---General-f140.html
The email with the subject "The PHP License" received commentary
from both Jochem Maas and myself, and the OP (AmirBehzad Eslami)
replied to the message, appending the [SOLVED] tag to the subject.
This is not a serious issue in this particular matter, as it was a
simple thank-you message out of politeness (which is greatly
appreciated, Amir!). However, using just a single example should help
to emphasize my point exponentially when you consider the frequency of
occurrences we see following the [SOLVED]-appended route.
On 12 September, 2007, Zbigniew Szalbot posted a message to the
list about a segmentation fault in PHP 5.2.3. Over the next 24
hours-plus, exactly sixty comments passed back-and-forth on the
thread. When a solution was found, it was posted in a separate email
with the [SOLVED] tag added to the subject line, and two additional
comments added to that (entirely new) thread.
Why is this such a critical issue? Because if we hope not to have
to answer the same questions over and over again, instructing people
to properly STFW, then we should at least be contributing to proper
archival and documentation of problems we've successfully solved.
Using the aforementioned example, we check Google for the same
problem:
http://www.google.com/search?q=php+5.2.3+segmentation+fault+core+dumped
Hooray! Someone else has had the exact same list of problems, and
now I can simply go through all of the responses and it should
(fingers crossed!) correct my issues as well.
Message 58.... 59.... getting close!.... sixty-one.... WHAT?!? No
solution? Back to Google.... only to find that each result is exactly
the same discussion, never including the final three emails.
So the summary of my proposal is as follows:
1.) An issue has been identified with the list whereby
improper archival will likely lead to repeat questions and unnecessary
traffic to the list.
2.) I propose that we discontinue the act of subject
modification to indicate a change in status of the issue (SOLVED,
ALSO, ANOTHER PROBLEM, etc.) unless a completely different problem is
reached or question is asked. This will allow a step-by-step document
(of sorts) to be created and made "searchable" on the web.
Comments welcomed!
