Re: [PHP] String eval assistance
I'm not sure as to why strpos does what it does here, at least its not
immediately obvious, but, a solution to this would be to use a regular
expression search, it would be more exact, it has never failed me, and it will
be faster; I recall reading that preg functions were faster at then str ones,
though I can't recall where...

The thing is I cant get a consistant response, if it has approved anywhere

Am I doing something wrong.

Yes, you're doing something wrong. strpos() returns false if it can't find the
needle. You should be using if(strpos() === false) { declined; }

The most similar is Column, but all of them do very similar things -
it's just the one class that seems to take a string and mutate it into

Mmm. I hoped this would help, but all it seems to have done was cascade
errors across the rest of Tag's object children. :(
to be expected, but did it fix the problem w/ SelectBoxOption?
I'm not sure, but I don't think so; the original symptom was Object of
class SelectBoxOption could not be converted to string - the original
code didn't include a toString() method in SelectBoxOption, and since
the code works on an older PHP, it must be using the parent object's
toString(). (Which some children of Tag do explicitly, but
SelectBoxOption doesn't for whatever reason.)
In trying to add the toString() method, I found that the calls used by
other tags to retrieve the HTML tag name, value, etc weren't working.
So I looked up at the constructor to see if the pieces passed in were
getting passed and stored correctly - and quite obviously they're not
($name mutates into what looks like an array with a string at [0] and
something closely resembling what the whole object instance *should* be
at [1], and $value just seems to disappear).
Putting aside actually fixing the constructor correctly, after a bit of
poking I found that $this-tagContent-. works to retrieve the data
and actually output the option tag correctly.
var_dump tells me that the real data is actually in there... it's
just not instantiated correctly. $name apparently arrives at the
constructor for SelectOptionBox like this:
string(8) Abegweit
object(SelectBoxOption)#65 (5) {
[attributes]=
array(1) {
[0]=
object(TagAttribute)#66 (3) {
[name]=
string(5) value
[value]=
string(1) 4
[hasValue]=
bool(true)
}
}
[tagContent]=
string(8) Abegweit
[tag]=
string(6) option
[showEndTag]=
bool(false)
[children]=
array(0) {
}
}
I'll try converting all of the constructors to your recommendation as
above, but given that the problem is only happening with this one class, I'm
not sure that will do much.
hopefully that clears it up ..
Well, I ran out of Call to undefined ParentClass::parentclass in
path/to/file/for/subclass.php errors (at least on the page I'm testing
with) but $name is still going in on the calling side as a string,
and coming out as a funky array.
and hopefully you're using version control :D

Subject: [PHP] String passed to object constructor turning into an
instance of
that object?
I'm in the process of migrating customer websites off an old legacy server
that's pushing EOL, and starting to show hardware failures.
One site is throwing errors on what, so far as I can tell, should be
perfectly
working code.
The original code works fine on both CentOS 3 (PHP 4.3.2) and CentOS 4
(4.3.9); the new server is still a bit outdated (Debian etch plus some
backports and updates from lenny; PHP 5.2.0).
The site was designed by staff at a previous hosting company and uses a
combination of the Fusebox app framework (which seems to work OK, after
a few relatively minor fixes) and a custom OOP structure.
I'm not really sure what the actual problem is, but I've reached the point
where this:
class SelectBoxOption extends Tag {
function SelectBoxOption($name, $value, $selected=false) {
parent::Tag(option, $name);
$this-addAttribute(value, $value);
if($selected) {
$this-addAttribute(selected, '', false);
}
if ($name == ) { echo nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;missing name!br\n; }
// else { print nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;name $namebr\n; }
if ($value == ) { echo nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;missing value!br\n; }
}
will parse and execute, but:
- the page will contain missing value! for each option in the
select this is generating
- it will *not* contain missing name!
- the option tags in the final output don't have content or value
(they should have both).
If I uncomment that else, I get:
adding option name1 with value1
name value1
Catchable fatal error: Object of class SelectBoxOption could not be
converted to string in
webroot/includes/classes/core/display/form/input/SelectBoxOption.php
on line 12
What's the actual line #12 in the file SelectBoxOption.php? The
SelectBoxOption code you presented has 11 lines unless it's a CNP error.
Regards,
Tommy
I found the place this object is created, and added some debugging
output before *and* after that call:
echo adding option .$row-$nameField. with .
$row-$valueField.br\n;
$this-add(new SelectBoxOption($row-$nameField,
$row-$valueField, $selected));
echo added option .$row-$nameField. with .
$row-$valueField.br\n;
which behaves correctly and spits out the name and value (retrieved from
a database - thankfully I haven't had to track *that* down... yet).
Can anyone explain why a string passed by value (apparently) would
suddenly mutate into a SelectBoxOption object? I've confirmed that this
is exactly what happens by adding this:
if (is_a($name,'SelectBoxOption')) {
print name isn't a SelectBoxOption, silly rabbit!br\n;
}
as the very next set of lines after function SelectBoxOption(.
I wondered while typing this if $name and $value might have ended up as
special variables somewhere, but renaming them with an opt_ prefix
didn't change anything.

Whups, thought I noted that. I trimmed a couple of blank lines; line
12 in the file is that print in the else.
I found trying to print $name triggers the same error anywhere in that
function, too; as I noted further down it seems the string that's
passed in is getting mutated into an object. (Whose missing toString
function is what led me here - but it works fine in PHP 4.3...)

Probly because the term 'reference' in php means something rather different

Re: [PHP] String passed to object constructor turning into aninstance of that object?
It's acting as if Tag's constructor a) declares $name as a reference using $name, and b) is assigning itself ($this) to $name for some (probably bad) reason. That's the only way I can see that $name inside SelectBoxOption's constructor could change from a string to an object. A peek at Tag's constructor could really clear things up. David

so you put one check before the call to parent::Tag() one directly after
right? That means *somehow* $name is getting set to an instance of
SelectBoxOption in the parent constructor which makes little to no sense..
especially after looking at implementation from your later post. Main
things are $name is local in the child constructor and there is no pass by
reference on the $name parameter in the parent constructor definition.
if this code runs w/o error on your 5.2 box, then there's something spurious
going on in that old library;
?php
class Tag
{
function Tag($sTag='', $sValue='')
{
$this-_sTag = $sTag;
$this-_sValue = $sValue;
}
}
class Child extends Tag
{
function Child($name)
{
var_dump($name);
parent::Tag('option', $name);
var_dump($name);
}
}
$oChild = new Child('content');
?
expected output:
string(7) content
string(7) content
I'd still recommend moving to the php5 notation throughout the library,
especially if doing that fixes the problem w/ SelectBoxOption. This
shouldn't break any client code, since clients should all be calling new
Class() and not be explicitly invoking the php4 style constructors. The
php4 style constructors should only be getting called explicitly from within
the library itself.

Very neat.
It also handles url's like this:

It's useful to leverage the work of others. So using parse_url() gets
you all the parsing stuff for a url without having to worry about the
spec (such as embedded user, password, port, parameters, and fragment.
Then we just augment to provide the extra functionality :)

You don't look for one, that's the point. The explode() breaks the
string into an array at every occurrence of a '/' character. This will
leave zero length strings in the array if there is a double // (which
wasn't in any given example in this thread that I saw) When you use the
array, just don't do anything with empty elements!

Hi Shawn,
Your code looks cleaner then mine so i tried it and got the last entry
in the txt file printed twice.

Remove the if statement and just print out $tmp. The while loop is going
over one extra time than you need, and on that final iteration, $tmp is
an empty string. The if statement only changes $name if $tmp is empty,
so it leaves it as it was, hence you getting the last line printed
twice. Printing out an empty string in this example won't do anything,
and the if statement is also pretty useless as it just copies the value
to another variable on a condition that will only result in the
side-effect you've noticed.

Re: [PHP] string concatenation with fgets
Hi Ash,
Actually I need the if because the code will print out an empty line
and add sometext to it.
So without the if check for an empty line, at the end of the loop I'll
get sometext. For example, if the file I am processing called
somename.txt has
a
b
c
in it. I'll have;
asometext
bsometext
csometext
but w/o the if check, I'll also have
sometext
as well.

Then put the print statement inside the if, not the assignation,
otherwise you will always get that last line!

I would tend to agree here; the concat is faster but you may well only
notice in very tight loops. The curly brace syntax can increase code
readability, depending on the complexity of the expression. I use
them both depending on the situation.
Remember the rules of optimization:
1) Don't.
2) (Advanced users only): Optimize later.
Write code so that it's readable, and then once it's working, identify
the bottlenecks and optimize where needed. If you understand code
analysis and big-O etc then you will start to automatically write
mostly-optimized code anyway and in general, I doubt that you'll often
identify the use of double quotes as a bottleneck--it almost always
turns out that other operations and code structures are far more
expensive and impact code speed much more.
That said, you don't really lose anything by using concatenation from
the start, except perhaps some legibility, so as Nathan said it often
really just comes down to personal preference and perhaps the house
coding conventions.

Re: [PHP] String to Date Conversion Problem
Hi Alice,
Based on the string format that you mentioned (DD MMM YY - DAY) you
should be able to transform to any other date using the following:
$parts = explode(' ', '23 JUL 09 - THURSDAY');
echo date('m/d/Y', strtotime({$parts[1]} {$parts[0]} {$parts[2]}));
Cheers

actually unless ref_id is a constant (which i doublt) you may be best
going with:
$where = WHERE ref_id=' . $Reference[$x]['ref_id'] . ';
keep the php and sql seperate and you'll find it much easier to see in

Closer, but still not quite there. For encapsulation in the string, it
should look like:
$where = where ref_is='{$Reference[$x]['ref_id']}';
Someone else mentioned casting to int first as well to sanitize, which
is also a good idea.

Just be sure you overlap each read by $the_size_of_the_largest phrase_or_keyword - 1. Then use stripos() for matching... of course that won't work so well if whitespace doesn't need to match exactly in phrases. In which case you'll need to resort to other techniques.

I use this script to list archive files from a directory based on

might work:
// create archives box
if ($handle = opendir('../diaryarchives/')) {
while (false !== ($file =
readdir($handle))) {
$pos = strpos($file, diary_);
$pagemarked = diary._;
if ($pos !== false) {
//print $filebr;
$file_name = ereg_replace
($pagemarked,,$file);
$file_name = ereg_replace
(.php,,$file_name);
//print * $file_namebr;
//print $filebr;
$archive_list_gather[] = 'lia href=/diaryarchives/'.
$file.''.$file_name.'/a/li';
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
rsort($archive_list_gather);
foreach($archive_list_gather as $value) {
$archive_list .= $value;
}
// build archives box
$archives_box = 'div id=diary-archives

You can split a string by doing something as simple as this:
?php
$str = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz;
$d = $str[5]; // $d == position - 1, because count always begins with 0
?
So to walk backward through the string, while it's not very clean,
you could do:
?php
$str = ABCDEF01234567789;
for($i=strlen($str);$i0;$i--) {
if(preg_match('/[g-z]/i',$str[$i])) {
// Handle your this is a bad character condition(s).
// break; /* Or, optionally, continue. */
}
}
?
Not pretty, but if my mind is still working at 2:30a (EDT), it
should help you out.

preg_* is overkill if you're just searching for a literal string. use
it if you're searching for any strings matching a pattern, part of
which you don't know. If you know the entire string you're looking
for, strstr() is both more efficient and easier to use.
Now, strpos() is more efficient still, but arguably more annoying to
use because of the 0 but true issue that necessitates checking for
!== false.
Besides efficiency, the only difference between strstr() and strpos()
is what they return. strpos() returns the index of the first match,
while strstr() returns the entire string starting from that point;
it's the building of the copy of the string that causes strstr() to be
less efficient.
Both functions have case-insensitive variants stristr and stripos.
In each case, if the substring occurs more than once within the outer
string, the return value is based on the *first* occurrence. strpos()
(but not strstr()) has a variant that uses the *last* one instead:
strrpos() (r=reverse), which also has a case-insensitive version
strripos(). You can easily define a strrstr() though:
function strrstr($where, $what) {
$pos = strrpos($where, $what);
return $pos === false ? false : substr($where, $pos);
}
And for good measure, a strristr:
function strristr($where, $what) {
$pos = strripos($where, $what);
return $pos === false ? false : substr($where, $pos);
}

debugging, i got $rowA[0] = 54, but i want $rowB[$rowA[0]] = $rowB
['54'].
is this possible? how do i force $rowA[0] to be a string ('54')?http://www.php.net/unsub.php
php should handle the conversion internally for you.
if you want to type cast a value to a string, simply do
(string)$varname
-nathan
I was thinking about saying that, but php is loosely typed, so 54 ==
'54'. I'm thinking something else is wrong here.

Type casting shouldn't be an issue in this case. For example,
you're not trying to convert alphanumeric characters to int() (which
would actually go to boolean - 0/1), so when trying this case, the
condition is True:
?
$rowA[] = 54;
$rowA[] = 63;
$rowA[] = 72;
$rowB['54'] = Y;
$rowB['63'] = N;
$rowB['72'] = N;
if($rowB[$rowA[0]]=='Y') { echo checked.\n; }
?
Because of the loose-typecasting nature of PHP (done on purpose),
'54' does, in fact, equal 54, unless otherwise specifically stated.

I believe this is the difference with arrays:
$a = array(2 = foo);
Array(0 = null, 1 = null, 2 = foo)
$a = array(2 = foo);
Array(2 = foo)
not true:
alice:~ jochem$ php -r '
$a = array(2 = foo); $b = array(2 = foo); var_dump($a, $b);'
array(1) {
[2]=
string(3) foo
}
array(1) {
[2]=
string(3) foo
}
php treats anything that is the string equivelant of an integer as an integer
when
it comes to array keys - which comes down to the fact that you cannot therefore
use
a string version of an integer as an associative key.
so $a[2] and $a[2] are always the same element.
the same is not exactly true for floats - although you can use them as array
keys you'll
notice in the output of code below that they are stripped of their decimal part
(essentially
a floor() seems to be performed on the float value. I have no idea whether this
is intentional,
and whether you can therefore rely on this behaviour:
alice:~ jochem$ php -r '
$a = array(2.5 = foo); $b = array(2.5 = foo); var_dump($a, $b);'
array(1) {
[2]=
string(3) foo
}
array(1) {
[2.5]=
string(3) foo
}
alice:~ jochem$ php -r '
$a = array(2.6 = foo); $b = array(2.6 = foo); var_dump($a, $b);'
array(1) {
[2]=
string(3) foo
}
array(1) {
[2.6]=
string(3) foo
}
