Hi folks.
I was here a while ago, trying to figure out how to keep deployment
instances of my common code, running on more than 1 site, in sync with
eachother.
I've looked at rsync which was recommended here, but didn't like it much,
nor could I find a good windows version of it.
So yesterday, I decided to try a pure PHP solution. My thinking was: run a
PHP sync script once on each physical machine that holds possibly multiple
copies of my common code, and FTP the common code only 1 time because I use
only 1 shared hosting account besides my windows development machine.
I've gotten it so far that it creates an imo good list of what to copy
where.
The only problem I can foresee is that the copy command will take more than
30 seconds, which makes it hard to run at the shared hoster.
And obviously, it's going to need some good input checking to prevent
abuse.
I've put up a demo at
http://skatescene.biz/sites/mediabeez.ws/sync_secret_cndj593n2/ , you can
execute the code job to see it in action.
I'll also post the working copy of my sync library at the bottom of this
post. The only thing missing is the actual copy($source,$dest), I think.
But, I'm wondering if this is a good approach to code deployment. It
certainly seems easier and more convenient to me than using rsync. Maybe
i'm an amateur indeed ;) Anyways, all criticism is welcome here. Thanks
for your time! :)

SVN has logging and other key features. Many, and when I say many that is an understatement, Many companies enforce SVN for their protection. Ever had a script not fully transfer, and only partial code remains? With SVN you can roll it back and Whala! You have the original source back. For one of my roles as Project Manager, I love Tortoise SVN. I have changed the scripting a bit to send me emails with descriptions of changes as they happen with attached files. This way I can actually filter my emails to find the exact person who made the bad change, what they had, and what they did instead of searching the logs. Since my developers can only push to the Development Servers I can fix issues before they become a Production Issue. No more, Developers having access to the server directly. They make their changes and commit their changes up, I review and can schedule changes to be committed to Production Servers. To setup a new Developer I simply check out the SVN library for them and they are up to speed day one. The setup is very easy, Yes the controls are a tiny bit confusing at FIRST. But if you want success, then SVN is a SMART decision for any project. Richard Buskirk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Rolling your own with rsync and cron is setting yourself up for failure. A couple people here have mentioned SVN. I used to use SVN, but now have migrated everything I do to Git. Without getting into a religious battle between Git and SVN, I do strongly recommend you look into it.

I have a number of windows based customers who also like to review what we are doing, so I ended up with HG. TortoiseHg provides a nice gui based DVCS system interface on Windows which works identically on Linux and I can push and pull changes around the place without having to worry about anything. The servers 'pull' a copy of the code base from a local server master, which is managed from the development environment. Config information is protected on each site, and the whole thing works identically on both windows and linux so I don't have to worry what the customers are using. THEY can work to their own site and change what we give them access to, while the core code is managed from the central repo. If they come up with something useful it can be merged back into the master copy :) One of the few pieces of software I actually pay for is BeyondCompare which provides the same cross platform facilities for merging files and with it's built in ftp interface allows manually inspecting the file structure on any of the machines. A couple of my Mac based customers are now investigating the same development base. Add Eclipse/PHPEclipse on top and you have the ultimate cross platform IDE :) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] code quest
well, this ends the row after every cell. I am trying to get a row
of 5 cells across, then end it and start a new row. If the routines
stops before the end of the count of 5 due to lack of further
directories, closing out the table following the loops will onclude
a /tr tag.

They are almost identical. Echo supports multiple parameters like echo $a, $b; print is 20% slower than echo (by some tests). echo is shorter than print so it's easy to write.

Re: [PHP] code quest
A good point, but in this application there WILL be AT LEAST 1
legitimate directory at all times, or else the script would not be used,
so this ought not be a problem.
My problem is that I understand the basic functions to implement, but
have not yet aquired sufficient command of php to implement the required
multi step algorithm.

Hello all, my name is Kirk Bailey, and I am new to php, so please be forbearing.
I code in python, and am trying to learn this language as our new client runs a
web business based in it.
I need a routine that will return a list of every directory immediately under
the current directory- but nothing else, just a list of directories, 1 level
deep, NO FILES, no listing of current dir or prior dir either.
Now in python, I would use os.walk, and use the list of dirs and throw the other
2 lists away, but this ain't Kansas anymore. Does php even DO lists?
Um, a list is a 1 dimenional array, if have a list ALIST and you plug in 3, you
get back the contents of cell 3 in the list, whaqtever that content is. so if
cell 3 in a 6 celled list was Ruby then ALIST[3] would return the string
ruby.
It's easy to iterate lists. For instance:
print 'ul'
for dir in ALIST:
print 'lia href=\/dir,dir,'/a
print '/ul
This would let me produce an ordered list of directories, each a link to that
directory.
This way, when a client installs a new product, the home page area listing
products offered automatically updates.
Further embellishment would let me replace the dir name with a BRIEF description
from a descriptor file read from that dir. Now how to do this in php?
This should do.
The only problem that I foresee would be an empty ul/ul if you have no
directories returned by glob().
print('ul');
foreach ( glob('./*', GLOB_ONLYDIR) AS $dir )
print('lia href=\'.$dir.'\'.$dir.'/a/li');
print('/ul');

Sure. Change:

I think the last example would probably be the best one to use, that way
you can still have some directories with the . or - or even the _ in the

Re: [PHP] code quest
Ok, let's kick this around.
iterating an array(?; 1 dimensional listing of things) in php, I am
creating a list of direcoties. I want to open and read in a file in each
directory with a standard name, which contains a 1 line description of
the directory and it's purpose.
Now, here's the existing code; this code is online NOW at this url:
http://www.howlermonkey.net/dirlisting.php
* 1?php # The next several lines declare an array of directories
which are
2NOT to be listed!
3$excludes[] = 'images';
4$excludes[] = 'cgi-bin';
5$excludes[] = 'vti_cnf';
6$excludes[] = 'private';
7$excludes[] = 'thumbnail';
8
9$ls = scandir(dirname(__FILE__));
10foreach ($ls as $d) {
11if (is_dir($d) !preg_match('/^\./',basename($d))
12!in_array(basename($d),$excludes)) {
13 echo 'lia href='.$d.''.$d.'/abr/'.PHP_EOL;
14 }
15}
16?*
Let's say the file to read in /elite is named 'desc.txt'.
It looks like you want me to modify line 13 to say:
echo 'lia href='.$d.''.include($d.'desc.txt').'/abr/'.PHP_EOL;
so, if the file '/elite/desc.txt' contains the line
*82nd Airbourne - We are an elite unit of army Paratroopers
*
Then that element in the list would appear as:
* 82nd Airbourne -We are an elite unit of army Paratroopers
And would be clickable. Let's try it and see if this hound hunts.

It looks like you want me to modify line 13 to say:

Ok, I don't think that's actually the code that generated the page you
link to, but let's go with what you've got.
First of all, include() does not return a string to the calling
program. include() basically redirects the php interpretter to process
the contents of the file. What include() returns is success or failure
of the execution of the included script. To use the current setup you
have with the desc.txt files, you want to do something like this:
echo 'lia href='.$d.'';
include('./'.$d.'/desc.txt');
echo '/a/libr /'.PHP_EOL;
If the file desc.txt contains only text, it will get sent to the
browser as is.

Sure. Change:

you can still have some directories with the . or - or even the _ in the
names, and still be able to display them.

Um, a list is a 1 dimenional array, if have a list ALIST and you plug in 3,
you
get back the contents of cell 3 in the list, whaqtever that content is. so if
cell 3 in a 6 celled list was Ruby then ALIST[3] would return the string
ruby.
It's easy to iterate lists. For instance:
print 'ul'
for dir in ALIST:
print 'lia href=\/dir,dir,'/a
print '/ul
This would let me produce an ordered list of directories, each a link to that
directory.
This way, when a client installs a new product, the home page area listing
products offered automatically updates.
Further embellishment would let me replace the dir name with a BRIEF
description
from a descriptor file read from that dir. Now how to do this in php?
This should do.
The only problem that I foresee would be an empty ul/ul if you have no
directories returned by glob().
print('ul');
foreach ( glob('./*', GLOB_ONLYDIR) AS $dir )
print('lia href=\'.$dir.'\'.$dir.'/a/li');
print('/ul');

Re: [PHP] code quest
Daniel, this is so close to bang on it's unbelivable. Only prob is my
host provided me with this $^@%^^$! dir which is named .smileys, which
holds icons for use in the control panel. It should NOT list it, nor
list the /cgi-bin, nor /images. Can it somehow exclude those 3, or maybe
a list of things not to notice?
Also, how compatible is it with SSI includes? If part of the echo is an
ssi include statement, will it work right? Hmmm...

Simple:

$ls = scandir(dirname(__FILE__));
foreach ($ls as $d) {
if (is_dir($d) $d != '.' $d != '..') {
echo 'a href='.$d.''.$d.'/abr/'.PHP_EOL;

If you want something more powerful - and often quicker - check
into SPL: specifically FilesystemIterator[1], DirectoryIterator[2],
and RecursiveDirectoryIterator[3]. A quick example to link all child
files and directories with relative linking:
?php
$path = dirname(__FILE__);
$list = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new
RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path));
foreach ($list as $k = $v) {
if (!preg_match('/\./',$v)) {
$v = str_replace($path.'/',null,$v); // We only want
relative linking
echo 'a href='.$v.''.$v.'/abr/'.PHP_EOL;

Re: [PHP] code quest
OK, answered my own question; no, an ssi statement inside a php echo statement is simply sent out as is, unparxsed. But if it is external to the php area, it works fine, so we have to include a function in there that will read anything I want to spew- like the 1 line contents of a desciptor file in a particular directory. The idea is to create a directory lister which reads a descriptor for that folder and uses it as the text for the link. Daniel P. Brown wrote: On Sat, Nov 27, 2010 at 12:36, Daniel P.

The results may be seen on this page:

Can this be improved to exclude anything with a '.' or a '-' in it's
name? This will exclude the smileys and cgi-bin and such. If it can be
persuaded to read a 1 line description from each subdirectory it could
then use THAT as the text in the link, instead of the name. This could
be useful in many settings.

I'm not sure CodeIgniter would be of any help here. I don't recall any
function in the CodeIgniter framework that lists directories like this,
so he'd still have to end up coding it himself.
Also, python tends to be used more for command line stuff than websites.
CodeIgniter does have a CLI extension, but the app would just be
severely bloated running an entire PHP framework for what might only
need a light script. Bit like using a sledgehammer to hammer in a thumb
tack, can be done, but not really the best tool for the job.

I am going to want to put code onto slides in OpenOffice (3.1 specifically, using Kubuntu 9.10), but to date I've never figured out a good way to do that. Anyone know of a good way to do syntax-highlighted code in OOo? Things I've tried in the past: 1) Just throw code onto the slide, no highlighting. This works, but is ugly and harder to read or demonstrate what I am doing. It's my usual fallback. 2) Screen-shot from a web page that uses syntax highlighting, such as PHP's built-in highlighting. Very difficult to prepare since the sizing is usually all off. Ugly. Very difficult to edit and change because the screen caps have to be regenerated. And PHP's default coloring for highlighting frequently clashes with the slides and looks godawful on a projector. (I once ended up with blue text on a black slide. That was a major fail.) 3) Jump out of the slides into an IDE. Works, but totally breaks the flow of the presentation. The IDE usually also has text that's way too small, and I have to reconfigure it into a presentation mode, often on the fly. It also makes discrete snippets harder to show, since there's still the entire rest of the IDE there. I don't like any of these options. :-) I don't know what the alternative is, though. Ideally I'd love to have a custom text region or format or something that is take this and highlight it properly, but I don't know if such a plugin exists.

Hi,
My code is not giving error but not doing the desired action.
I need to append a value in database just when the user logs in after
entering the username and password. So I am not presenting the user with a
account but just a thank you page.
Steps:
1) User enters the user name and password
2) The login form contains a hidden field with a data
3) After hitting the Submit button the username and password is checked.
4) The hidden data is entered in the database.
5) A mail is sent to the user and he gets a Thank You page.
6) If verification fails then he gets a registeration page.
Here is the code, I have been struggling with:
?php
//include file for db entries, this part is working fine
file.inc
$conn = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) or die(mysql_error());
$db = mysql_select_db($dbName, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
// insert new entry in the database if entry submitted
$emailAddress = $_POST['emailAddress'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
//$_SESSION['testing'] = $_POST['emailAddress'];
// insert new entry into database
$sql5 = SELECT * FROM userstable WHERE emailAddress='$emailAddress' AND
password = '$password';
$result5=mysql_query($sql5);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count5=mysql_num_rows($result5);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count5==1){
$rowset5 = mysql_fetch_array($result5);
$emailAddress = $rowset5['emailAddress'];
$password = $rowset5['password'];
//answer insertion
$hiddendata= $_POST['hiddendata'];
//Email body that is sent to the logged in user.
$body = Hello $fName\n\nThank You for participating;
$sql = insert into `userstable` (hiddendata) VALUES ('$hiddendata');
mail($emailAddress, Thank you for interest, $body, From: a...@abc.com);
header(Location: thankYou.php);
}
else {
header(location:you-need-to-register.php);
}
?
What exactly am I missing.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

It's arguably more correct in this case to use ellipsis: Okay, who said an old dog can't learn new tricks? Both you and Daniel have convinced me to stop using But, and start using But ...

Re: [PHP] Code works alone but not with other code.
Ed Curtis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've got this chunk of code (included) that used to work fine in a script up until a couple of weeks ago. Nothing has changed in the php page at all, it just quit working. If I take this chunk of code and place it alone in a php script it works just fine, but only by itself. I don't understand what's going on and don't see anything that would make the script seem like it's just skipping this chunk of code, without errors, when I run it. I'm using PHP 4.4.4-8 mand MySQL 5.0.32 on Debian Etch. The code does use nested MySQL queries, it worked before but I thought maybe something changed in PHP or MySQL recently in updates that might have broken it, but there is another chunk of code in the script that uses nested queries as well that works fine just as it had been. I also have another script that has recently broke and seems to skip a section of code as well without errors. There are no real similarities between the two that I can see. Thanks, Ed !-- Snip -- Doesn't work seems plenty bland, have you tried doing the following: 1. Putting in die statements 2. Verified the tables exist and have data in MySQL 3. Checked the PHP error log 4. Checked the MySQL error log Just guessing I'd say your data was empty, but without more information, it's a pretty big shot in the dark.

Yeah, I'm -that bad- That's not just bad, it's downright anti-productive. You need to either have a standard style across a team or accept that other developers format their code differently. If you spend time reformatting other peoples code it's a waste of your time. Differently (not that I didn't say badly) formatted code does not make it wrong, it's just different and if you can't live with that then you need to work on getting your preferred format adopted as the standard for the team.

I use commas like I talk. For example, I would never say: But that didn't happen. Instead, I would say But -- pause -- that didn't happen. So, I write it: But, that didn't happen. The But and pause is used by me to get someone's attention before presenting my objection. Now, one can argue if my method is proper or not -- but, I don't care. The purpose of writing is to communicate and I do that rather well. I remember three discussions I had with teachers about writing -- one teacher in High School told me that no one intelligent would ever consider anything I had to say because of my obvious limitations. But, I still graduated from High School. Another teacher marked me down from an A to a B in my last year in college because he said that he didn't want me to graduate with honors for I wasn't the proper type of person to represent his college as an honor student. But, I still graduated with honors. The last one claimed that my use of commas was excessive in my MS thesis. But, I still published, defended my thesis, and received my MS. So in the end, these were the things I remember being taught by English teachers. They taught me well -- but, nothing about writing. :-) Cheers, tedd -- --- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
