Same as with sizeof() btw (which is alias). I've did run into this issue a few 
years ago and decided that you should check whether the argument you're passing 
to count() or sizeof() is an array: problem solved.

So:

$a = $count = false;
if (is_array($a)) {
$count = count($a);
}

The 1 result is due to type conversion, well known and discussed within this 
same mailing list.

unreal4u-MBP:~ unreal4u$ php -a
Interactive shell

php  $a = false;
php  print_r((array)$a);
Array
(
[0] = 
)

Just think about it. When was the last time you counted something and the
result was false? It makes no sense. Logically counting should return
negative, 0 or positive value.

Why? count() counts the number of objects in an array. Since we're 
giving it a scalar value, then it's one value. Would you expect 
count(array(false)) to give a zero or a false? How about count(0) versus 
count(1)?


You might be confusing false and null, which are not the same thing. 
False is a boolean number, null is an empty set. You'll note that 
count(null) gives a zero.


This is actually one of the cases where php is doing something logical. :)

 The manual is a great place to figure out why things happen a certain way.

The manual page does not explain WHY that logic is used and even inconsistent 
since null returns 0. It only says that it does return 1.

 Just think about it. When was the last time you counted something and the
 result was false? It makes no sense. Logically counting should return
 negative, 0 or positive value.

Well in my case I have a method that populates a property. The property
starts out as null (since it was never loaded). If there is an error, the
method returns false, otherwise it fills the array.

We could argue about flow/logic/etc. and how to fix my code. 

But logically, given how null/false/0 are usually treated, almost
interchangeably, such as 

$foo = false;
$foo = 0;
$foo = null;

If (!foo) 
All do the same thing

It would stand to reason that count() would return 0 for anything that isn't
an array

For example using [GW]ammu is a simple way on Linux, see http://wammu.eu/.
It has a web interface too.
It's easy to call from PHP using exec().
Pre-written classes also available:
http://www.phpclasses.org/package/3865-PHP-Send-and-receive-SMS-messages-using-Gammu.html

Or it's possible to make a Perl script handles the GSM device. I really
love this solution.

Good ways for own GSM modem.

If you have the budget use a professional service such as Twilio. Their api
is very easy to use and quick to set up. I would also avoid using any type
of exec() function unless you are doing a very good job of checking to see
what is being executed. You would be opening yourself up the a number of
security attacks.

   I think everyone on this list has made that same mistake once.
  
   Just as a sidenote, you can pass true as second parameter to have
 print_r
   return the contents instead of printing them directly. It comes in
 very
   handy in case you need to escape characters before printing or
 manipulate
   the string before you want to print.

[PHP] Re: How to download a multi-part file at the server side?

2013-11-02 Thread Ajay Garg

I just came across http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp, and
tested it..
It works fine, when the file is uploaded via a form.


It does seem that the client-method might indeed play a role.
Here is my Java code for uploading the file ::


###
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

httpclient.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.PROTOCOL_VERSION,
HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);

HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(URL);
File file = new File(/path/to/png/file.png);

// Send the image-file data as a Multipart-data.
MultipartEntity mpEntity = new MultipartEntity();
ContentBody cbFile = new FileBody(file, image/png);
mpEntity.addPart(userfile, cbFile);

httppost.setEntity(mpEntity);

HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
###


Any ideas if making a change at the client (Java) OR/AND server (PHP) might
do the trick?

 I'm trying to work on an XML document and turn it into something I can put
 into a database or array. Am getting stuck as I try to learn the PHP stuff
 needed for XML.
 
 What I have so far is just:
 
 $xml = simplexml_load_file('my-file.xml');
 
 $status = $xml-status;
 echo status is $status.\n;
 
 $href = $xml-reference-href;
 echo href is $href.\n;
 
 Which gives:
 
 status is accepted.
 href is .
 
 
 If I do:
 
print_r($xml);
 
 It starts out with:
 
 SimpleXMLElement Object
 (
[@attributes] = Array
(
[id] = My_Info
)
 
[status] = accepted
[title] = Nice long string title
[reference] = SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[@attributes] = Array
(
[href] = http://www.example.com
)
 
)
 
 
 
 How do I reference the nested objects? The file is fairly long and seems
 deeply nested.

The value you’re trying to retrieve is an attribute, and can be accessed using 
the attributes method: http://php.net/simplexmlelement.attributes

 Basic math...
 
Life: finite
Time: infinite
 
finite / infinite = 0

Who's valuation of your time actually matters? Yours, and yours alone.

Therefore:

Life: n years
Time I can benefit from my life: n years

n years / n years = 1

*hoorah*

Your time is the most precious commodity you have.

Whether you use a framework or not you will (hopefully) reuse code between 
projects. If you choose to make part of that reused code one of the many 
frameworks that exist, you need only do one thing to ensure it continues to be 
worth using: how much of your time do you spend battling against the 
restrictions of the framework? If that's sufficiently low then using that 
framework is probably a good thing. If a significant portion of your time is 
spent battling the framework it's time to make a change.

Also remember that the only person who can truthfully judge whether you're 
wasting time is you, unless you earn money by selling your time to someone 
else in which case they have some right to decide what constitutes a waste of 
the time for which they're paying. I found the experience of writing my own 
framework to be hugely beneficial to my future productivity, but I might have 
struggled to justify spending the extra time it took to my employer at the time.

Hello,

I have been reading docs and many are telling that persistent connections
are kept open indefinitely. But I found in PHP docs that it will not close
after script execution like requesting  a page; so should it close after
the request is over?

So when exactly a persistent connection should close?

Please advice.

A persistent connection is closed when the PHP process ends, or it gets 
disconnected by the server-side or due to a network error. Attempting to 
explicitly close a persistent connection will do nothing without complaining.

Thank you for the quick response Stuart...one more doubt..at

=
This means that when the same client makes a second request to the server,
it may be served by a different child process than the first time. When
opening a persistent connection, every following page requesting SQL
services can reuse the same established connection to the SQL server
=

Is the persistent connection pool is re-used between apache child
processes ?

[PHP] Persistent connections

2013-10-26 Thread Nibin V M

Hello,

I have been reading docs and many are telling that persistent connections
are kept open indefinitely. But I found in PHP docs that it will not close
after script execution like requesting  a page; so should it close after
the request is over?

So when exactly a persistent connection should close?

Please advice.

Nibin.

Re: [PHP] I am puzzled. Error on one site, no error on the other

 Problem Situation

 I have two web sites on the same shared host. They share code for the
 control panel. When executed for one site I get a warning (reproducible
 always), but on the other there is no warning.

 One my home server, set up in the same way, I do not get a warning for
 either site.

 The warning is from this code:

 if ( in_array( $keys, $photo_ids ) )

 *Warning*: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in
 */home/rois3324/include/**cpprocessforms.php* on line *203*

 Steps

 1) Photos are transferred to incoming directory using ftp.
 2) Photo data is imported into database and files moved to web site's file
 system
 3) Photos are linked to a category by
 i) Specifying photos to consider by entering filespec using wildcards
 ii) User presented with photos
 iii) User selects photos to be added to category and clicks process
 button
 iv) Form returns array of photo_ids (key in database table)
 v) Form processor creates entry in link table that links category_id
 to photo_id
 vi) A check is made to detect and reject when the link already exists

 This is where the error occurs

 I have looked at the code, but I am at a total loss to figure out why I
 have trouble on one site and not the other, even though they are using the
 code. And my home development system has no problems.

 I can't play trial and error on the development system.

 Anyone have any ideas?

 This is the code where the warning is triggered:

 function linkphotos( $dbh, $x ) {

   global $thumbsdirectory;

   $ret_str = ;
   $cat_id = $x['category'];
   $photos = $x['list'];
   $sql0 = SELECT photo_filename FROM photographs WHERE photo_id = :id;
   $sql1 = SELECT photo_id FROM gallery_photos WHERE photo_category = :id;
   $sql2= INSERT INTO gallery_photos VALUES ( :id, :photo_id, :order );

   $stmt = $dbh-prepare($sql0);
   try {
   foreach( $photos as $keys= $on) {
   $stmt-bindValue(':id', $keys);
   $stmt-execute();
   $row = $stmt-fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)**;
   $filenames[$keys] = $thumbsdirectory . / . $row['photo_filename'];
  }
   } catch (PDOException $e) {
 return 'Error selecting existing file names: ' . $e-getMessage();
   }

   $stmt = $dbh-prepare($sql1);
   try {
   $stmt-bindValue(':id', $cat_id);
   $stmt-execute();
   while ( list( $id ) = $stmt-fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM)) {
 $photo_ids[] = $id;
   }
 } catch (PDOException $e) {
 return 'Error selecting existing photos: ' . $e-getMessage();
   }

   $stmt = $dbh-prepare($sql2);
   try {
   $stmt-bindValue(':id', $cat_id);
   foreach( $photos as $keys= $on) {
 $ret_str .=  htmlimage($filenames[$keys], $filenames[$keys] ) .
 br /;
 if ( in_array( $keys, $photo_ids ) ) { warning raised here
 $ret_str .=   Duplicate. Already in Category.br /;
 } else {
   $stmt-bindValue(':photo_id', $keys);
   $stmt-bindValue(':order', $keys);
   $stmt-execute();
   $ret_str .=   Added to Category.br /;
 }
   }
   } catch (PDOException $e) {
 return 'Error inserting new photos: ' . $e-getMessage();
   }

   return $ret_str;
 }

Your $photo_ids array is not declared. After
$photos = $x['list'];
add
$photo_ids = array();

A persistent connection is closed when the PHP process ends, or it gets 
disconnected by the server-side or due to a network error. Attempting to 
explicitly close a persistent connection will do nothing without complaining.

 Yes, it was an excellent article.

 One of the things I liked about the article was the concept of
 Incremental Development, which is something I have practiced since the
 Old Apple ][ days (Incidentally, he states he learned of this in 1958 -- is
 that a typo?).

 In 1977, I started many of my programs with (pardon my failing memory of
 AppleSoft syntax):

 Gosub GatherData()
 Gosub ProcessData()
 Gosub PresentDate()
 END

 It ran, but didn't do anything. Incidentally, that resembles a one-pass
 MVC design, does it not?

 In any event, I would flesh out the code until I got what I wanted.

 Maybe that's one of the reasons why Android or iOS Development starts with
 a Default Hello World App that does very little than run.

 Start simple, develop complex.


Is there any other way to do it? I've been programming since 1975 and
that's what I was taught and that's how always do it.

Was it Brian Kernighan who said the 3 rules of programming are:

1. Keep it simple.
2. Build it in stages.
3. Let someone else do the hard part.

There's nothing inherently wrong with having a directory writeable on
your web server, but you should ensure it's running with the least
privileges it requires to complete your task.

So, make sure that the Apache user is also the owner of the directory,
then you only need to give it 755 permissions (it's always unwise to use
777 on a production server).

Another thing you can do is to place the upload directory outside your
web root so that it's not accessible via a browser.

I can see why you wouldn't want to import it directly into the database
though. I recently had to fix a script of mine because someone thought
it would be a good idea to change the order of a bunch of fields in a
CSV, and added a new field in the middle rather than at the end. Having
a script in between the CSV and the database can ensure some sort of
data quality check is in-place before importing bad data.

Tom has been with Andrew 0 times.
Tom has been with Shelly 1 time.

So the Graph maintains who has been with who how often.

For 10 or even 20 kids you might be able to go through all links (brute
force).

The number of links (including the ones with 0 weight) is
#links = n*(n-1)/2
which is the number of links you have to maintain and then check when you
want to know who should go with whom.

So, if
n=10: #links = 10*9/2 = 45
n=20: #links = 20*19/2 = 190
n=30: #links = 30*29/2 = 435

Yes, I was going to ask, why are you storing your dates as strings?
MySQL has a perfectly good DATE type. It's also generally faster
comparing dates within a MySQL query than PHP code.

Hi,
Indeed making and maintaining the graph looks like the best approach here
to tackle this problem , but what does not seem clear to me is this --
 Suppose a family can host 5 children , then you need to find the set of 5
such nodes out of the total no. of nodes(assume 10) such that the total
weight of all edges connecting the 5*4 nodes is minimum  ,
how do you go about finding this set once you have constructed and
maintained this graph and what will be the complexity??

  You could simply store the graph in an array, and then optionally
 persist
  it to a db or file:
 
  You would get e.g.:
 
  $graph = array(
'0,1' = 0,
'0,2' = 2,
  ...
 
  Edit: Actually, maybe you can do it in a two-dimensional array, where no
  node is connected to itself:
 
  $n=4;
  function init() {
global $n;
$graph = array();
for ($i = 0; $i  $n; ++$i) {
  $graph[$i] = array();
  for ($j = 0; $j  $n; ++$j) {
$graph[$i][$j] = 0;
  }
}
return $graph;
  }
 
  $graph = init();
 
  Sorry, I might be running a bit out of time here...
 
  You can use an implementation of a graph, for example this one:
 
 
 http://pear.php.net/package/Structures_Graph/docs/latest/li_Structures_Graph.html
 
  But it might be overkill as the 2-dimensional array would even do the
  trick and there might be less overhead although you are requiring more
  space than needed (n*(n-1)/2+n cells more to be exact).
 
  You could store it in a hashmap/associative array like this:
  ?php
   $graph = array

You don't need to maintain the history of which kids stay where unless you
want to for other reasons. You just need to find the children that have
staid the least amount of time together, which this approach would do for
you.

So, when 4 children stay together you say
1 together with 2
1 together with 3
1 together with 4
2 together with 3
2 together with 4
3 together with 4

and that's it. And then you can find the ones that staid together the least
amount of time.

 Hi,
 Indeed making and maintaining the graph looks like the best approach here
 to tackle this problem , but what does not seem clear to me is this --
  Suppose a family can host 5 children , then you need to find the set of
 5 such nodes out of the total no. of nodes(assume 10) such that the total
 weight of all edges connecting the 5*4 nodes is minimum  ,
 how do you go about finding this set once you have constructed and
 maintained this graph and what will be the complexity??

 If this has to be catered for you could simply sort them when inserting:
 public function together($who, $with) {
 $sorted = array($who, $with);
 sort($sorted);
 $who = $sorted[0];
 $with = $sorted[1];
 if (!isset($this-data[$who])) {

  Tom has been with Andrew 0 times.
  Tom has been with Shelly 1 time.
  Christine has been with Andrew 2 times.
  ...
 
  So the Graph maintains who has been with who how often.
 
  For 10 or even 20 kids you might be able to go through all links (brute
  force).
 
  The number of links (including the ones with 0 weight) is
  #links = n*(n-1)/2
  which is the number of links you have to maintain and then check when
 you
  want to know who should go with whom.
 
  So, if
  n=10: #links = 10*9/2 = 45
  n=20: #links = 20*19/2 = 190
  n=30: #links = 30*29/2 = 435
 
  I think even for reasonably large groups a computer can do the job
  easily. I would find it quite hard to do it on paper though, so I
 think you
  should program it.
 
  You could simply store the graph in an array, and then optionally
 persist
  it to a db or file:
 
  You would get e.g.:
 
  $graph = array(
'0,1' = 0,
'0,2' = 2,
  ...
 
  Edit: Actually, maybe you can do it in a two-dimensional array, where
 no
  node is connected to itself:
 
  $n=4;
  function init() {
global $n;
$graph = array();
for ($i = 0; $i  $n; ++$i) {
  $graph[$i] = array

 MySQL has a perfectly good DATE type. It's also generally faster

Agreed.

Plus, there are many date functions provided by MySQL that are easier 
(possibility faster) than what you can do in PHP.

 Or is it just the line in question that is being echoed?

I'm not sure exactly what it gets compiled to, but I also don't see why it 
matters. All that matters is that content outside of PHP tags will simply get 
echo'd.

re: changing ini settings.

If my running script modifies an ini setting I currently believe that 
that changed setting will apply to that specific process and any others 
that run after that from that same folder (since i have an ini file in 
each folder currently).  Correct?


And if I do make a setting change as above, it only affects the ini file 
and processes in that folder, thus leaving the setting unchanged in any 
and all other folders above that one.  Correct?


And from the article pointed out to me, I get the impression that the 
search for ini files bubbles up from the executing folder.  If that is 
so, then am I correct in assuming that settings in the lowest ini file 
take precedence over any found in 'bubbled-up' ini files?

Hi, Jim

Never mind my last paragraph ... I was thinking the wrong way of what you
wrote earlier.

I haven't tested it properly in every detail, but from the perspective of
what I know it's like you wrote.

The file that's mentioned as php.ini is the main configuration file of
your php-installation. It may be, that the user-ini file was renamed to
php.ini as well, but if you read about php.ini, they always mean the
configuration-file that you see listed in the output of phpinfo() as
Configuration File (php.ini) Path.

* You can rename the user-ini file by changing the user_ini.filename
setting in the php.ini file (as written on the page I linked you to)

* The php-settings are restored after/before each script-execution

* The manual doesn't catch if a user-ini file was found ... just that it
bubbles up to the document_root. Maybe the configuration found in user-ini
files is merged, or just the first file is taken.

* I don't know what happens to configuration you apply f.e. in nginx ... I
know neither when settings in php-fpm are applied ... that's something
left
for testing, or until somebody finds the documentation explaining it (I
know there is one ...), but I guess they're applied after the php.ini and
before the user-ini files.
Examples are listed here:
http://php.net/manual/en/**install.fpm.configuration.php#**example-60http://php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php#example-60

* What you set using set_ini() is just applied for the rest of the
currently running script.

Bye
Simon

I understand most of what you wrote and agree all except for one thing.

You keep using the name user.ini and I asked for clarification on this
earlier. Do I have to create files named EXACTLY that way, or are
php.ini files correctly named?

PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/)

Hi, Jim

You can define the name for this file your configuration (php basic
configuration file or in the webserver, calling the cgi/fcgi script).

The configuration is called user_ini.filename, and it's default value is
set to .user.ini. Of course, your provider (or you, if you're the
administrator of the php-instance) may changed this setting to something
like php.ini. Then the php-process will search for a php.ini file in
the directories a user-ini file is searched in.
When talking about configuration files, this may be misleading, as the
basic configuration file is refered as php.ini over all in the
documentation.

I don't believe, that the PHP process would search for a file called
php.ini, if the value is set to something like .user.ini - if that's
what you mean.

It may be, that you can change the setting later on, but it will have no
effect (f.e. if you change it using set_ini() ... if it doesn't trigger a
E_WARNING or something the like).

Hope this answers the remaining question. If not, I kindly ask you to write
some examples.

Bye,
Simon

Ok - here is what I see happening now. PHPINFO shows a setting named
'user_ini.filename' set to '.user.ini' At the same time the setting
loaded configuration file shows that a php.ini file was loaded from
the current sub folder that this call to phpinfo was running in (as I
expect!). So apparently my host has set php to look for user.ini
files, but php.ini files are still accepted and loaded.

I'm guessing that despite the user_ini filename setting, a PHP.ini file
will still be read, which suits me just fine.

Thanks for all the help Simon!

  We have a server that gets a large number of requests each month.
 
  After a period of time I began to see this error in our error logs this
  weekend.
 
  PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function ()
 
  It does not reference a function, so I found it odd.  It did give a line to
  a function with array_merge on it.
 
  Has anyone seen this in the apache error logs?  We are using PHP 5.3.3.
 
 Show us the line, and a few lines around it.
 public static function getInfo($params = array())
 {
 $results = array();
 
 $url = 'http://google.com';
 
 
  $props = array
 (
'key'= Yii::app()-params['param1'],
 's'= Yii::app()-params['param2']
 );
 
 if (!empty($params))
 {
 $props = array_merge($props, $params);
 
 $url = $url . http_build_query($props, '', '/');
 
 
 It may be possible that params has unsafe data in it.  The previous dev did 
 not validate the data passed in via get.
 
 The code populating params looks like:
 
 $params = array
 (
 'd' = $_GET['d'],
 );
 
 $job = Job::getInfo($params);

My best guess is that either $props or $params contain a function reference or 
similar construct. Examine their contents with var_dump.

As a check you could expand out the effect of array_merge and see if you still 
get the same with a PHP implementation.

Romain - you were so right.  A little less calculating to be done and I 
got the result I wished.  For anyone interested here's the function I'm 
using to determine how much time there is until a cookie expires.  The 
cookie in question contains the expiration datetime that was used to 
create a paired cookie.


function GetTimeLeft($applid)
{
   if (isset($_COOKIE[$applid]))
   {
  if (isset($_COOKIE[$applid.expire]))
  {
 $curr_time = new datetime();
 $cookietime = $_COOKIE[$applid.expire];
 $exp_time = new datetime();
 $exp_time-setTimeStamp($cookietime);
 $diff = $curr_time-diff($exp_time);
 $days = $diff-format(%d);
 $days = ($days  1) ? $days days: ($days == 1) ?
   $days day : '';
 $hms = $diff-format(%h:%i:%s);
 return Time left: $days $hms;
  }
  else
 return '?';
   }
   else
  return '0';

[PHP] date time problem

2013-10-06 Thread Jim Giner

I always hate dealing with date/time stuff in php - never get it even 
close until an hour or two goes by


anyway

I have this:

// get two timestamp values
$exp_time = $_COOKIE[$applid.expire];
$curr_time = time();
// get the difference
$diff = $exp_time - $curr_time;
// produce a display time of the diff
$time_left = date(h:i:s,$diff);

Currently the results are:
exp_time is 06:55:07
curr_time is 06:12:03
the diff is 2584
All of these are correct.

BUT time_left is 07:43:04 when it should be only 00:43:04.

So - where is the hour value of '07' coming from?? And how do I get this 
right?

Thanks for the quick response, but why do I want to show the time in 
GMT?  However, I did try it, changing the 'time_left' calc to use 
gmdate.  Now instead of a 7 for hours I have a 12.


exp 07:34:52
curr 06:40:14
diff 3158
left is 12:52:38

The 52:38 is the correct value, but not the 12.

[PHP] After a PHP script timeout, Apache logs the error but may not cleanly exit the script

2013-10-06 Thread Meta Seller Admin

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone can help with this.

We're using PHP and Apache, hosted on a dedicated server running
Debian Linux. The specific versions in each case are mostly
immaterial, as this problem has been around since Debian 6, and is
still present in Debian 7; in the meantime we've been using the latest
versions of all packages.

We're having problems with PHP script timeouts, which although rare,
are behaving erratically and causing severe problems when they do
occur.

The timeouts are always recorded in the Apache log, and sometimes the
script and everything else may execute/terminate correctly, but often,
various failures may be observed, such as:

* timeouts not registered back to PHP - the script may not terminate
as expected (the function registered with register_shutdown_function()
- see code example below - may not be called);

* after a timeout, Apache may run in the background indefinitely,
using up CPU resources in one core;

* Apache may fail altogether - no further requests serviced - Apache
must be restarted.

The exact cause of the fault has not been found. It is reproducible on
all servers we deploy to.

Example PHP script:

//...
function _on_shutdown()
{
if (connection_status()  CONNECTION_TIMEOUT)
{
echo 'ERROR: TIMEOUT!';
//Do something else...
}
exit;
}
register_shutdown_function('_on_shutdown');
//...more code here...
//(various potentially long running scripts which may timeout)


The above was also posted here:
http://serverfault.com/questions/542045/after-a-php-script-timeout-apache-logs-the-error-but-may-not-cleanly-exit-the-s

Ric.

Re: [PHP] date time problem

Jim,

The date method takes in a timestamp (not seconds away).

You have the seconds, you will need to manually convert those seconds to
what you desire (minutes = seconds / 60), (hours = minutes / 60), etc..

The resulting subtraction is not a valid timestamp, but rather the
difference between the two timestamps in seconds . The resulting diff can
be 1 if the timestamps are 1 seconds apart. The

 You have the seconds, you will need to manually convert those seconds to
 what you desire (minutes = seconds / 60), (hours = minutes / 60), etc..

Aziz, please try not to top post :)

It's true that the date() function takes in a timestamp as its argument,
but a timestamp is a number representing the number of seconds since
00:00:00 1st January 1970, so passing in a very small number of seconds
is perfectly valid.

The only thing that would account for the 7 hours difference is the time
zone, which would also be part of the timestamp.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time gives more details.

Good Point! I never looked at it that way. I guess the Date function
can't be relied on in that case. So now I'll have to calculate my time
in a mathematical way instead of letting Date translate it for me.

It also depends on the amount of kids, families and stays.

If the numbers are low, by hand may be a lot easier and faster

 While definitely a tempting coding exercise, I just want to say that if
 this is urgent in any way, shuffling cards with the kids' names on them by
 hand might just be faster and less frustrating :)

 OTOH, if this is something you're going to have to figure out week after
 week, then a software solution might be handy.

 This is also not an *easy* problem to solve; there isn't a simple approach
 to optimizing this sort of thing because you're building a net between all
 the various kids based on past stays, in addition to the constraints of
 host family  capacity. Thus your previous code attempts might in fact be
 the end result.

 Obviously, structuring the data is the key here.

 I'm thinking of 3 primary models: Kids, Hosts, and Stays.

 Kids and Hosts seem pretty obvious. Stays is the interesing model, and
 needs to have joining tables with Kids and Hosts.

 A Stay will have one Host, and have many Kids and a date.

 The algorithm then needs to make the graph where it can pull out the
 number of times any particular kid has stayed with another, looking
 something like this:

 Amy:
Ben: 10
Jill: 3
Carlos: 7
Chen: 2
 Ben:
Amy: 10
Jill: 5
Carlos: 8
Chen: 3
 Jill:
… and so on

 Then you be able to pull through that graph and find the smallest number
 of stays for each kid.

 Not simple, but I hope this helps.

Hey Tim,

It seems that deleteObject takes in 2 params, and you are sending it 1
param. I would recommend you look at the documentation and make sure you
are sending the right params.

While definitely a tempting coding exercise, I just want to say that if this is 
urgent in any way, shuffling cards with the kids' names on them by hand might 
just be faster and less frustrating :)

OTOH, if this is something you're going to have to figure out week after week, 
then a software solution might be handy.

This is also not an *easy* problem to solve; there isn't a simple approach to 
optimizing this sort of thing because you're building a net between all the 
various kids based on past stays, in addition to the constraints of host family 
 capacity. Thus your previous code attempts might in fact be the end result.

Obviously, structuring the data is the key here.

I'm thinking of 3 primary models: Kids, Hosts, and Stays.

Kids and Hosts seem pretty obvious. Stays is the interesing model, and needs to 
have joining tables with Kids and Hosts.

A Stay will have one Host, and have many Kids and a date.

The algorithm then needs to make the graph where it can pull out the number of 
times any particular kid has stayed with another, looking something like this:

Amy:
   Ben: 10
   Jill: 3
   Carlos: 7
   Chen: 2
Ben:
   Amy: 10
   Jill: 5
   Carlos: 8
   Chen: 3
Jill:
   … and so on

Then you be able to pull through that graph and find the smallest number of 
stays for each kid.

Not simple, but I hope this helps.

Sounds like a job for a directed graph data structure. I wish I had time to 
knock up a solution but I don't right now. This article should help you get

It also depends on the amount of kids, families and stays.

If the numbers are low, by hand may be a lot easier and faster

Whatever solution you're going with will probably involve a relational

DB or flatfile?

I would create a matrix of all kids crossed with every kid. Everytime a kid
is put in a home with another kid, ++ that index. When dispatching kids,
sort by index ASC.

 slow.  My idea was to give each group of kids a score and the lowest score
 is the group that is selected.  However, this approach wound of iterating

 have any ideas on this puzzle?

Oh, no, this is definitely not homework! :)  Although it certainly seems like a 
homework question.  This is a real world problem.  I'm keeping track of which 
kids stay with which host families in the database.  My initial approach was to 
start with kid 1 and see how many times the other kids have stayed with kid 1.  
The move on to kid 2, and so it.  This gives me a score for pairs of kids.  
However, if say three kids are staying at a host family, what is the best way 
to determine which set of three kids have stayed together the least?

Re: [PHP] Algorithm Help

2013-10-01 Thread Serge Fonville

Assuming you don't have to be exact, somthing similar to this might work.

Assign each kid to a host family randomly
for each kid, check how frequently it has been combined with the kids in
its assigned family.
if it is too close, swap with a different family
when all kids in that family are processed, move on to the next family and
repeat, excluding the first family for swapping. do the same for all
families excluding the previous families. when you have completed all
families, do another iteration or two of the whole process.

Kind regards/met vriendelijke groet,

Your code is failing because $bucket_name, I suspect, is null. Where do
you define this variable before you use it in this bit of code:

$result = $s3-deleteObject(array(
'Bucket' = $bucket_name ));

Hi Tim,

Is the call working? Does it actually get deleted?

This could just be an issue (which I see alot) where developers do not
check for variables or preset them before usage, causing those notices to
come up (pretty harmless most of the times).

[PHP] SOAP: Is correct to override XML standards?

2013-09-30 Thread buzon


I am working with some WSDL call for a provider.

The strange thing is that the SOAP used (for me, as client) should  
include an 'xml' element, and it is supported by the Php constructor,  
even that is not correct under XML syntaxis.


Why? Is somekind of not validation?

This works:

?php
$client = new SoapClient($url_wsdl);
$params = array( xml = $xml_content, login = $login );
$response = $client-__soapCall(wsdl_method, array($params));
?

But W3 standards:

All SOAP messages are encoded using XML (see [W3C Recommendation The  
XML Specification] for more information on XML).
Source: http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-2508/#_Toc478383492  
(Relation with SOAP)


Names beginning with the string xml, or with any string which would  
match (('X'|'x') ('M'|'m') ('L'|'l')), are reserved for  
standardization in this or future versions of this specification.
Source: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-common-syn (Common Syntactic  
Constructs)

[PHP] Running a command without shell

2013-09-29 Thread vitalif


Hi!

Is it possible to run a command and capture its output via an FD (like 
in proc_open()), but without using the shell? As far as I can see now 
there is no way to do it. I think that's a simple feature, maybe just 
add it to proc_open()? (for example run command directly using exec() if 
the first argument is an array?) it would be rational because there is 
already such option for Windows...

[PHP] delete S3 bucket with AWS PHP SDK

Your code is failing because $bucket_name, I suspect, is null. Where do
you define this variable before you use it in this bit of code:

$result = $s3-deleteObject(array(
'Bucket' = $bucket_name ));

Re: [PHP] Switch Statement

Hello,

I suggest you put default in that switch statement and var_dump the
$_POST.That should be enough for a programmer to pin point what goes wrong.

Re: [PHP] delete S3 bucket with AWS PHP SDK

2013-09-29 Thread Aziz Saleh

Hi Tim,

Is the call working? Does it actually get deleted?

This could just be an issue (which I see alot) where developers do not
check for variables or preset them before usage, causing those notices to
come up (pretty harmless most of the times).

Hey guys,

 Sorry about that i should have posted the full code to give you some idea
of context. Anyway, here it is:

?php
  require_once 'sdk.class.php';
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

*  $bucket_name = $_POST['$bucket_name'];*
 // Create the S3 Object from the SDK
  *$s3 = new AmazonS3();*

 // The response comes back as a Simple XML Object

No Problem, the issue is that you referring to the invalid post element
$bucket_name as opposed to the correct on bucket_name.

*$bucket_name = $_POST['$bucket_name'];*

Should be

*$bucket_name = $_POST['bucket_name'];*

 I'm sure I'm going to annoy people with this, but I would advise to
 never use PEAR. It's the biggest load of extremely badly coded PHP
 you'll ever find. Creating an SMTP client (with the purpose of just
 sending mail) is very easy to do yourself (and also a good challenge
 if you're not yet very skilled with PHP). Alternatively, you can
 indeed use a package such as PHPMailer; it's not perfect, and quite
 bloated for what you want probably, but it works rather well.
 

I have to agree on the code bloat. Unless your requirements are
extraordinary (which the OP's are), the native PHP mail() function is
generally quite adequate.

Never thought about creating a PHP email client. Interesting idea...

 Hi all php experts,
 
 I would like to ask you all a question, I hope this is the right place
 to ask it.
 
 I'm writing a PHP extension now in c/c++. User uploads a file (could be POST
 or PUT method, but I can limit it to POST only). I need to capture the
 file data while being
 uploaded, without writing it to disk on the server. I need to process
 the data and (maybe,
 depending on a situation) send it somewhere else or save it to disk.
 Of course I know, that I can process the file
 after it has been uploaded (saved on disk on the server), but I would
 like to avoid it.
 I also need to do something opposite: I need to generate a file on the
 fly and send it
 to the user. All metadata of the generated file is known beforehand
 (e.g. size, name).
 
 I've been searching around for some time now and I could not find
 anything even close to the solution.
 Is there any example(s) or existing PHP extension that do(es) something
 like this (at least something simmilar) ?
 If you could give me any pointers that would be awesome.
 
 Thanks for your help 

The question I have is why? Should your upload fail for any reason you've got a 
half processed file that is non-recoverable.  No do-overs. If you stick to the 
standard processes with out the extension,

Upload
Save somewhere (or leave in temp upload folder)
Process
Send result back to user 
Unlink file

Generating the file and sending it to the user is also pretty standard

Create your dataset
Send appropriate headers
Send data
Close connection

For this, there usually isn't a need to save the file. You may run into issues 
streaming the data to certain browsers. 

Also one of the main downsides to your upload is high load situations or large 
file situations (where file size exceeds php's upload limit). 

My personal preference is to save that file to disk so that if needed I can 
work with it later ( if say the server load is high) and email the results to 
the user.

If you're looking to create a SQl table then most but not all browsers can use 
SQLite locally for data storage ( it does require newer browsers). 

You haven't stated the goal for this so other options could include sending csv 
or json data down to the browser and using jquery, angular or some other JS 
framework to manipulate that data may also be an option

Thanks for the message and help,
because I use jQuery autocomplete which has performance issue for thousands 
records due to network load data.
I want to load the data to local table to resolve performance issue, if it 
possible I can load to an array in the memory.


Thanks again for helping,

I had exactly this situation, large list with the autocomplete. I cached the 
list to a JS file and ran the autocomplete from that. It works well if the list 
is relatively static which mine was. It will be tougher if the list is dynamic, 
but you could send the data down after the initial page load.

[PHP] Switch Statement

2013-09-28 Thread Ethan Rosenberg


Dear List -

I have a working program.  I made one change in a switch statement, and 
it does not work.  I'm probably missing something fundamental.


Here are some code SNIPPETS...  [please note that all my debug 
statements are at the left margin]

ini_set('html_errors', 'On');
ini_set('log_errors', 'On');
require '/home/ethan/P/wk.inc'; //password file
$db = Store;
$cxn =mysqli_connect($host,$user,$password,$db);
if (!$cxn)
{
die('Connect Error (' . mysqli_connect_errno() . ') '

}// no error
if($_REQUEST['welcome_already_seen']!= already_seen)

if(!empty($_POST['Cust_Num']))
good();
if(empty($_POST['Cust_Num']))
bad();
break;
} //end step20

Ethan, can you do a var_dump instead of print_r. It might be that next_step
has spaces in it causing the switch to not match.

I don't have a link unfortunately. The system I did it for is proprietary. But 
I do recall it was a pretty switch in the JS to view the list from the static 
file. The JS file with the static data was just an array and the autocomplete 
looked at that as the data source

Sorry

Once again you are posting code that has no chance of running.  And 
since you are DISABLING error reporting with that -2 value you won't 
even know you have bad code.


Try again.  Post#2 will never display since you aren't printing it.
