That's great. This is what I've been looking form. Thanks!.

you could read this
http://xdebug.org/docs/execution_trace
and then parse trace files to get the memory usage
create a global to store user functions, I think user function do not
populate get_defined_functions(); until the function is called;
$t = get_defined_functions();
$userFunctions = $t['user'];
$file = xdebug_get_tracefile_name();
parse the file and then create a function to call the said variable.
I think you can figure it out.

That's not really what I'm after. Let me try an example:
function foo($id) {
static $foos = array();
if (empty($foos[$id]) {
$foos[$id] = load_foo($id);
}
return $foos[$id];
}
When load_foo() is slow (e.g., lots of DB traffic or remote-server
calls or whatever), such caching can have a significant performance
boost. Sometime after foo() has been called 15 times from 30 places
in code, when I get to the end of the request (or just every time I
call foo() would be fine) I want to be able to do something like:
$cost = get_memory_used_by($foos);
So that I can determine how much memory that caching is costing me
over the lifetime of the page, and determine if it's a worthwhile
trade-off.

function check_memory_usage(&$memory)

return $memory;

something like this?
you can put it wherever you like and returns an array for further
processing. You could optionally add a second argument to set the
index to a name and check if the name exists to add 1 to the end of
the name so your indexes stay maintained.

I have a script that retrieves several queued email messages from a MySQL
database and sends them out, printing out progress as it goes along; for
example:
ema...@example.com ... sent
ema...@example.com ... sent
ema...@example.com ... sent
Either "sent" or "failed" is displayed based on the result of the mail() call.
When accessing the script however, the browser(?) waits until the script has
completely processed prior to displaying the page (instead of displaying it in
progress). Other scripts on the same system display in progress, and it's
unclear what's different/special about this one.
The page header contains several hundred characters, and line breaks are
included after each "sent", so I don't think it's a browser buffering issue.
The behavior is the same in both Firefox & IE.
The engine is PHP 5.2 under Apache. And none of the ob_ functions are being
used. I did try adding a flush(), but the behavior is still the same.
So what else could cause the page to buffer completely prior to being
displayed?
Any insights appreciated,
Robert
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Additional info:
php.ini has output_buffering=4096. Calling flush() or ob_implicit_flush()
within the script doesn't seem to help. However setting
php_value output_buffering off
in .htaccess does the trick.
Any ideas what else to try? Would like a script-only solution that is not
php.ini/htaccess dependent.
Thanks,
Robert

hi all,
we have a fresh opening for an entry-level php developer in stapleton (north
east denver).
feel free to hit me up off-list w/ questions or of course, if you are
interested in the position, thx,
-nathan
*Required Skills (Proficiency expected)*
. PHP5 – Object Oriented Concepts a must
. Markup Languages - HTML, XML, (XSL nice to have)
. Javascript - understanding of AJAX concepts a plus
. SQL - table relationships, query writing, best-practices
. One or more text editor / IDE (emacs / vim preferred)
. *nix interaction – shell navigation, text editing
. Version Control - SVN OK, GIT preferred
*Ideal Experience*
. Symfony experience
. Propel ORM experience (or other)
. jQuery experience
. Ubuntu (Other Debian derivatives) Linux
*Nice to Haves*
. Action Script 2 / 3 / Flex
*Description*
Welcome to Colorado Timberline, home of a diverse array of outerwear and
novelty products along with a gamut of decorative services. Colorado
Timberline is nestled in the industrial district in Stapleton, Colorado
where our domestic warehouse of roughly 3 million units resides.
As an entry-level application developer you will initially focus on support
of existing applications which are being replaced by senior developers as we
speak. As our platform matures to a 2.0 revision end-to-end, new development
opportunities will become available and you will have a chance to make your
mark.
Colorado Timberline uses a hybrid of Windows & Linux technologies, however
you will be focused almost entirely on the Linux side of the house. That
said, you should be proficient with Linux, ideally Ubuntu or other Debian
derivatives. A desktop will be provided for you, but you are free to use a
personal laptop if you wish. The senior development staff prefers to run a
development stack on personal laptops, so if that works for you, you'll fit
right in. We have been using gitosis internally for a couple of months now
and will be scrapping the last of the SVN repositories soon. You have to
have *some* prior knowledge of version control to qualify for consideration
here; if it's not git knowledge, we'll square you away.
High-level coding decisions belong to our senior architect who has over 15
years experience in software engineering. We are very open-minded, stubborn
folks when it comes to design, meaning, may the best idea win, but we stick
to design decisions and try to marginalize slop. We run PHP5 for mostly
everything that's custom. Essentially our code is designed to accept &
process orders for our merchandise. There are a lot of sub-systems;
all-in-all, the system is of moderate size. At one end of the stack there
are e-commerce front-ends, and at the other end of the stack are industrial
printing devices..; a great place to get introduced to the software
engineering industry!
*Office Environment*
Colorado Timberline isn't a huge company; there's about 60 of us at the
Stapleton location. We have a mixed crowd and several departments, which is
enough to be a small community of hard working folks. Attire is casual,
sometimes professional. Hours are semi-flexible, but we like to have a good
amount of overlap each day so we can all stay on track.
*Salary & Benefits*
This is an entry-level position, the salary is $35,000 initially, then
$40,000 after 90 working days. We have a competitive health package and 401k
option which will also become available after 90 days.
*Start Date*
* *Immediately

Hey all,
Does anyone have a function that replaces accented characters
with the non-accent equals?
I can't figure out how to get them out of the Ubuntu keyboard
the way it is configured so I've just tried three different
functions off the Internet and none of them have worked.
Thanks,
Skip

Ubuntu should have gucharmap which should let you copy and paste
accented characters.

This one by Sven on 21-APR-2005:
<?php
function transcribe($string) {
$string = strtr($string,
"\xA1\xAA\xBA\xBF\xC0\xC1\xC2\xC3\xC5\xC7
\xC8\xC9\xCA\xCB\xCC\xCD\xCE\xCF\xD0\xD1
\xD2\xD3\xD4\xD5\xD8\xD9\xDA\xDB\xDD\xE0
\xE1\xE2\xE3\xE5\xE7\xE8\xE9\xEA\xEB\xEC
\xED\xEE\xEF\xF0\xF1\xF2\xF3\xF4\xF5\xF8
\xF9\xFA\xFB\xFD\xFF",
"!ao?AAAAAC
EEEEIIIIDN
OOOOOUUUYa
aaaaceeeei
iiidnooooo
uuuyy");
$string = strtr($string, array("\xC4"=>"Ae", "\xC6"=>"AE",
"\xD6"=>"Oe", "\xDC"=>"Ue", "\xDE"=>"TH", "\xDF"=>"ss", "\xE4"=>"ae",
"\xE6"=>"ae", "\xF6"=>"oe", "\xFC"=>"ue", "\xFE"=>"th"));
return($string);
}
?>
If you search via Google for 'php accented characters function'
you'll see some user notes with code samples. I grabbed the one above
from strtr() on php.net, and there are several others there and other
places --- like on the preg_replace() page, if memory serves.

Hi all
I am fairly new to the forum but I have a question that maybe I could get
some input on, I have a client that is looking to run a new informational
site. The basis of which allows visitors to post up their events or
functions for free, the site will be geographically based by area, ie one
for New York one for New Jersy etc.
End user posts their article for their restaurant or gig bake sale etc, they
can post pics and video as well as text all for free. site needs to include
advertising areas for the income revenue stream portion of the site so would
need rotating banner ads and headers etc.
My client has been advised to use Xoops, I have not used xoops before, I am
familiar with CMS from using Magento but obviously this is more leaning
toward e commerce than informational. The site needs to be self managing as
far as content, just with a moderator approving the postings. any feedback
or maybe suggestions as to any other OS or PHP driven I could look at using
or implementing for this site would be greatly appreciated. I need something
stable and also expandable as there are many major corporate sponsors in the
wings for this project, ie AT&T, Dell etc etc
