Hey guys,
As many of you might know, i totally suck at regex..so would really appreciate
some help here.
Basically i have a html page with a lot of textboxes,radios,checkboxes etc
i need your help in the form of a regex so that when i give it the name and
value it gives me the entire code of that checkbox.
for example here are 2 checkboxes:
<input type="checkbox" name="something" value="1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="something2" value="2" id="something"
onClick="javascript_code_etc()" onSomething="lots of js cod here()" />
so if i want the second checkbox code i was thinking of something like this:
$the_name="something2";
$the_value="2";
$fetched=getCheckboxFromHTML($the_name,$the_value);
and then if successful the variable $fetched would contain
<input type="checkbox" name="something2" value="2" id="something"
onClick="javascript_code_etc()" onSomething="lots of js cod here()" />
the idea is that i would use the contents of $fetch to add some code before the
end just before the greater than symbol, and do a str_replace().
What do you think? Critique of my logic above too is welcome!
Thanks!

Why not just pass the value in the onclick?
Onclick=doSomething(this);
Would give you simple access to all the properties of that element.
This.value would pass just the value.

Rather than a regex, you're probably better off using something like
DomDocument, where you can iterate over all of the input elements in the
document, and check the attributes of each one to check if they match
your criteria.

@Ash, You're kinda reading my mind... i did do this in domDocument but it didnt
work out so well... so now am trying to do this in a diff way.
Is it ok if i send you the code via an attachment? it is REALLLL messy code
right now though.
@Bastien, you're talking client side... i need to do this server side as then i
am writing the results to a file which is going to be used as a template in
other scripts.
Thanks!

I'm not going to be about for most of the weekend now, so it might be
better putting the code in something like pastebin and posting a link to
it on here!

have you looked at the Pear html_QuickForm2 set?

@Al,
> have you looked at the Pear html_QuickForm2 set?
Actually nope, whats it about? just did a google search and found it on the php
site but no example code around so dont really have a clue.
@Ash,
Pastebin! Of course, why didnt i think of that... will do!
Actually, just did so that i wouldht have to double post to the list.
heres the pastebin url
http://pastebin.com/m18b6fb86
I cleaned up a lot of surrounding code so its a bit more readable leaving only
the relevant code.
Theres one thing quite strange that i have to mention, this code:
if($input->getAttribute("type") ==strtolower("radio") &&
$input->getAttribute("name") ==strtolower("living_in_prague"))
works find
but if I instead use
if($input->getAttribute("type") ==strtolower("radio") &&
$input->getAttribute("name") ==strtolower("living_in_prague") &&
$input->getAttribute("value") ==strtolower("0"))
OR
if($input->getAttribute("type") ==strtolower("radio") &&
$input->getAttribute("name") ==strtolower("living_in_prague")
&& $input->getAttribute("value") ==strtolower("0"))
OR
if($input->getAttribute("type") ==strtolower("radio") &&
$input->getAttribute("name") ==strtolower("living_in_prague")
&& $input->getAttribute("value") ==0))
It does not work... even though i KNOW that thats the correct value because i
checked the static html page like 10 times...

Hi:
Has anyone encountered this warning?
Warning: Unknown: Your script possibly relies on a session
side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the
session extension does not consider global variables as a source of
data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this
functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or
session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively in Unknown on line 0
I seem to remember this happening before, but I don't remember the
solution. As I remember, it wasn't really reporting an error, but
something else. I just don't remember how I dealt with it before.
I don't know how to set session.bug_compat_warn to off.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
tedd
PS: I'm using php 5.2.10 and register_global is OFF.

doesn't this work?:
<?php ini_set('session.bug_compat_warn', 0); ?>
otherwise you'll have to set it in php.ini (or a .htaccess file)
IIRC it means your using session_register() .. which is depreciated and
will be dropped in 5.3 ... AFAIK best practices is not to use this function
but instead assing to the $_SESSION superglobal.
e.g.
do:
<?php $_SESSION['foo'] = $foo; // assumes session_start() has already been
called
instead of
<?php session_register('foo', $foo); // automatically calls session_start() if
not already started.

My first post and I'm just a few days into learning PHP so that I can extract
data from an XML feed for updating a MySQL driven website. Simplexml grabs
most of my data without a problem but I can't get at the data in elements
such as:
<element idtype="11" lang="fr" label="Description - Etage"><![CDATA[Rez de
jardin]]></element>
<element idtype="1" lang="fr" label="Description - Nombre de
pièces"><![CDATA[1]]></element>
<element idtype="2" lang="fr" label="Description - Nombre de
chambres"><![CDATA[0]]></element>
<element idtype="3" lang="fr" label="Description - Surface totale
(m²)"><![CDATA[27]]></element>
I have around a hundred of these elements but only need data from two of
them. I need to extract the CDATA by specifying the idtype and lang
attribute. For example, in the first of these elements, I need to be able to
get out the string "Rez de jardin" by specifying idtype="11" and lang="fr".
Can I use Simplexml to do this and, if so, how? If not, what should I use?
Many thanks for any help.
Terry

Look at the options:
$xml = simplexml_load_file('file.xml', 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);

Hello,
Depends on what you're looking to do.
For intermediate PHP I like
PHP Object-Oriented Solutions by David Powers (friends of ED)
The focus is on PHP 5...not sure if anyone outside of shared hosting uses
PHP 4, but worth a mention.
Regarding PHP In Action,
This might just be me personally, but I found PHP In Action to be a somewhat
difficult read--the authors really focus on nuance and try to show a "shades
of gray". This means discussions on how PHP is different than Java, how PHP
5 is different than PHP 4, how this solution is subtly different than that
one, etc. If you are new to ideas on both sides of the comparison, the
multitudes of comparisons can become a little tedious.
Basically, I would NOT recommend this book if you are trying to get a
refresher on syntax or are an amature/part-time programmer. However, it
does have quite a few worthwhile sections--the authors are obviously
familiar with software design and the book is literally littered with
references to Folwer, GOF, TDD, Beck, etc--that try to bring in best
practices (largely from Java) to PHP (5).
Apologies for the rambling, both books are on amazon with a number of
reviews.
Cheers,
Tim
