You can already achieve this by using the built-in output buffering function. Read http://www.zend.com/manual/function.ob-start.php for more information and a simple example on this.

Why not go for HTTP compression though? The gain would be much larger than just stripping out the whitespace/comments and such..

Have fun,

Bart,

a project we are working on will have:

1. HTTP compression, which is not 100% compatible, but catches most of the browsers anyway. 2. Our own caching system: in two words: ob_*() to save the output as a text file, mod_rewrite to check for file and throw the plain .txt files if exist, PostgreSQL triggers to update (delete cached) .txt files. 3. Browser/Platform detection: there's no need to make cross-platform heavy but compatible pages, just specific style sheets and html tags for specific browser families. 4. clever HTML design, so there are less tags, tables etc, to have files smaller. And *that* also includes less comments and double quotes on integers. We do nothing with XML, so that is why I am so shocked why people here discourage me that much.

I guess this is just one of those things where everyone's opinions runs in different directions, yet everyone is entitled to their own. I myself try to respect the standard because of the browser war years which made everyone uncomfortable. Now most browsers are trying to merge into a single standard (thank god). I believe the future to be XML, and I also don't think HTML will ever go away. However, I do believe that HTML will be treated more strict (hence the emergence of XHTML which is based on HTML 4.0 and XML). My suggestion to everyone is to continue using standards and try not to go astray from them, else we know the headaches us developers can face in the future.

Yeah, I know that XML requires it. And I also know that it is not a good code practice, but it perfectly works for HTML pages. Browsers compatible with the style sheets have no problems with this code (there's no connection), and if there's any XML to work on the HTML will be rewritten anyway, so there's really no reason to worry about it. Just the size gets lower and typing (escaping in PHP) is easier. I think it IS a good practice if you only practicing HTML to be outputted by PHP.

If you do this then those who will want to eventually convert their projects over to XML or XHTML format will have a hard time doing so, because the double quotes around the values of the attributes are required. Also, it's not good code practice. Just something for future reference...

I would not be stripping white spaces, but double white spaces into single ' ';

for example:

$html = ereg_replace("[[:space:]]+", ' ', $page);

I never tested this, but what I am trying to do is to get all and any blank characters and replace them with one single space. Why? Because I don't want all the words in text to merge together.

This should reduce the size.

Also here's a tip: remove any double or single quotes in tags surrounding integers. This is compatible enough, but is a bunch of bytes.

i.e.:

change every <IMG SRC="/img/arrow.gif" WIDTH="12" HEIGHT="11" BORDER="0" ALT="arrow" align="left">

this example is reduced by 6 bytes.

Hi,

I take that you simply want to remove ALL whitespaces from a data block (variable).

you could simply use str_replace(" ", "", $var);

"We do nothing with XML, so that is why I am so shocked why people here discourage me that much."

Even HTML is headed toward a more efficient structure. The current browser companies won't hold on to old code for long, just to make everything backward compatible. Next thing we know, we'll have to download a 100MB IE browser just cause it supports backward compatibility of older HTML and client-side coding practices, which in turn will discourage people to download a newer version of a browser. Imagine the year 2010, where uncle bob is still stuck with IE 4.0 while everyone else is using IE 15.0. And guess what? Uncle Bob is the one with the money to shop online, not little joey who was born to see the 10.0 version and nothing earlier.

W3C will not maintain older DTDs for HTML 3.2 for long, language practices die too, just like browsers and Windows 3.1/95. Standards are emerging to make it easier for everyone. Technology moves forward, not backward. By using good HTML practices, you're helping technology move in a steady upward motion. Saving a few bytes will soon not make a difference once everyone jumps into the high speed bandwagon, or when the broadband bottleneck phenomenon is broken and when no one needs to worry about broadband anymore. If you want small file sizes use other practices such as decreasing image size or quality, etc. Just don't contaminate the web with the architecture drawings of the prehistoric wheel. And I don't mean to sound so harsh, please don't take it personally.

attached mail follows:

well, my dear patriot, I do.

Contaminating the web is not my main purpose. The usual life time of a web application is around one year. I think our project will be changed ten times before uncle Bob gets online.

Since there's no plans for us to use XML, since there's no way W3C goes broke, since there's no way a 100MB large browsers will be released and, most importantly, since there's no way in THIS ONE YEAR I AM TALKING ABOUT anything rush will be changed to the planet's internet connection speeds - I will build my site in the way that saves my and my team's development time and with it our money, as well as the healthy page load time reduce.

Be rational, Navid.

The fact is:

getting discouraged about using double quotes in HTML on integers I was wondering what are the drawbacks of it. Maybe something I missed. Maybe there's someone hating me using this style because his browser goes wild or even crashes or does something else I never came across of.

It was a good question to ask and a good topic to make sure of other's opinions.

Hi Maxim,

Yes. The standard PHP implementation actually inspects the HTTP headers to determine if the browser supports gzip encoding. If not, it will send the files uncompressed. Looking at our website stats, 97%+ of the people use a version 4 browser so they're fine.

Hah! We think alike :) I implemented a similar system on our own website a few weeks ago. It does not cache complete pages (that's hardly possible due to the dynamic nature of our site), but instead caches HTML 'blocks'. (one page can consist of multiple blocks). Instead of serving those files directly from the filesystem I let PHP inspect them first: each file contains a timestamp that allows for expiry times.

The results are wonderful: our website (http://www.blender.nl) has approximately 80.000 pageviews a day and the system load is almost never higher than 0.4. (Dual PIII/450/512MB/FreeBSD)

If people are interested I'll publish the code for the caching module.

Clever! That's something I will put on my to-do list as well.

In my experience once you use HTTP compression, adding a few comments or whitelines do hardly add to the filesize anymore. I don't think it's worth the trouble to write super-compact HTML.

I don't know a single thing about XML, so I'll skip that discussion :)

Thanks, Bart.

I am definitely interested in seeing your caching modules - it could be a useful resource for ours. Right now our caching module is only in the planning stage, but there are few scratches I wrote myself, and it seems to be very promising.

Our project is a website that mainly contains articles. The database is fast but big, the pages can also get quite large, so as long as we get a good hard-drive we can work on that caching things.

There's a directory called /cached which we will store the file with the exactly same file names (with mod_rewrite there's no need to use any ?var=val&etc=etc&, you just get it looking like a directory) so it is extremely easy to locate a file.

ie: if you go to a file

articles/2000/10/26/features/doom

then apache looks first into

cached/articles-2000-10-26-features-doom.txt

and, if it finds it, sends it to your browser sweetly compressed. We were also thinking to use shtml or even php over again, but it kind of doesn't look to make much sense...

When an article is updated PostgreSQL's (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) trigger shoots up a function that deletes a file relative to the database and looks for whatever related to it entry to delete other 'outdated' files as well. The file is gone, and the next visitor as soon as he accesses the page for the first time will drop a new file in cached folder again, without even understanding it.

That's the idea.

The difficulty here is one - create a bullet proof relation between database entries so only the right files get 100% removed to avoid situations like "I just updated that, where is it?...".

Any comments, gurus?

Hi Maxim,

The results are wonderful: our website (http://www.blender.nl) has approximately 80.000 pageviews a day and the system load is almost never higher than 0.4. (Dual PIII/450/512MB/FreeBSD)

If people are interested I'll publish the code for the caching module.

Clever! That's something I will put on my to-do list as well.

In my experience once you use HTTP compression, adding a few comments or whitelines do hardly add to the filesize anymore. I don't think it's worth the trouble to write super-compact HTML.

I don't know a single thing about XML, so I'll skip that discussion :)

I'll do my best to write a short blurb on how to use it today and publish the code. I also have to do a zillion other things (like work on my new house), so I can't promise it'll actually be there today!

I can see one problem that you're gonna run into and that is that this directory will contain thousands of files. Not many OS's can handle that. In our case, each article has an article ID and the caching module automatically creates subdirectories that will hold a number of cached pages. Additionally, I can assign page 'types' to a page. These will generate new subdirectories as well. My caching directory looks like this:

/cache/data/articles/0-24/... /cache/data/articles/25-50/... /cache/data/searches/...

Have fun,

> /cache/data/articles/0-24/... > /cache/data/articles/25-50/... > /cache/data/searches/...

this was our original idea, the difficulty is that there's the need to access this directory from several places (mod_rewrite, php and postrges). It is easy to access but might be hard to combine the URL together.

But you're right, on UNIX systems, if I am not wrong, you cannot hold more then 1024 (?) files in a single directory. So subfolders is the way to go.

If you're interested in another complete-page-caching system, have a look at http://lgdc.sunsite.dk/source/addon/phpbase/db/pagecache.php http://lgdc.sunsite.dk/source/includes/ui/cached_page.php http://lgdc.sunsite.dk/source/includes/ui/page_builder.php

That's why I'm only using the DB for caching (i.e. I store nothing iin the filesystem). Still fast enough, and more robust.

Right, but there's almost no point doing so. You just slightly improve the performance. What I am trying to design would be a total caching system. No PHP and Database involved if nothing changed in the database records and PHP templates. In this way there's no connections neither the CPU load is up. simple .TXT files.

Hi Remo,

I wish I could remember where I read this, but the PHP documentation still does not have this feature described. To enable zlib output compression, first make sure you have compiled PHP with the --with-zlib option. Next, add the following line to php.ini:

zlib.output_compression = On

That's all there is to it!

AFAIK there's no limit (and certainly not 1024 files), but with most filesystems accesses on large directories are painfully slow. FSs such as ReiserFS however don't slow down noticeably on large directories...

i might try:

<?php

function a() { //same idea put function here }

function b() { //same idea put function here }

if (!empty($func_a)) { a($field1); //this would assume you have passed a variable in the form to use in the function. }else if (!empty($func_b)) { b($field1); }

this would also assume you need multiple functions to be used on the same form as submit buttons. This seems like the most logical/simple way to do it.

empty() and isset() are totally different. If a variable is set, but is set to nothing (or a value of 0), then the isset() will still hold true, whereas empty() will check that the variable contains a value other than a blank or 0.

A workaround to the empty() statement?

if ( (isset($var)) && (!empty($var)) ) { }

or:

if ($var!='') { }

There are other ways to do this but the main point is making sure the varible is not passed as empty when the form is used. -Adam

Putting in php tags does not necessarily mean that it will be parsed as php.

If you are using Apache web server, the file type ( php htm etc) needs to be identified as a php file. This is done in the httpd.conf configuration file. Just putting php tags in a htm file usually does not work by default.

Getting back to the original question, the include file does have to have an .inc extension. I am pretty sure that this is a convention but is not mandatory. end your include file with a php extension

Who said it must be inc? It can be even .my-super-dooper-class, but it's safer to just name the file .php

as for passwords, define() all the parameters you use in a configuration file and keep it outside webroot e.g.

/www +--/htdocs +--/images (etc.) ^- at this level let's say you have config.php w/ define('DB_PASSWORD','yabadubi')

then, in db.sql you just include() the config.php file.

As far as I am aware, none of the major web browsers will reveal the email address of the user to any website or web application. This is for privacy reasons.

You will need to get your guests to enter their email address in a text field to capture it for your records.

if you only use ocilogon and _not_ ociplogon the connection will be closed at request and, and apache/php will not keep then open - believe me!

Don't ask me what I did, but same code, same server, same client and today it works. Yes, I know there's something called a cache that could have caused the problem, and I had also checked that. Nevertheless, it must have been some data stuck somewhere or IE beeing stubborn, since content changed but data the mime got ignored completely. My hint: shut down everything. And restart the server/client. It will work as expected...

So again: To display XML, use: header ("Content-type: text/xml"); at the top of your script (standard mime)

If you prefer to save it, add content disposition: header ("Content-type: text/xml"); header ("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"table.xml\"");

Since netscape cannot handle XML, it will save it under either scriptname.xml or when content disposition added, table.xml and then call IE to display it.

Don't you have *any* experience with windows? ;-) Any windows platform should be rebooted as a first resource in a normal fault-finding arsenal.

I remember that i saw a sign in a Engineers workshop (many years from now) where it said something like this:

Rule #1: Halt and reboot! if this doesn't fix it - Try again. Rule #2: That's not a bug, that's a feature. Rule #3: That is fixed in the next revision. Rule #4: That is not supported. ... ...

PL/SQL code for an Oracle trigger that will auto-increment specified field:

create or replace trigger <trigger> before insert on <table> for each row begin if :new.<field> is null then select <sequence-name>.nextval into :new.<field> from dual; end if; end;

You have to create a sequence first. Example:

CREATE SEQUENCE <sequence-name> INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH -99999999999999999999999999 MAXVALUE 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 MINVALUE -999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 CYCLE CACHE 5 ORDER;

Of course, replace values in <xxx> as needed.

If you use the aboce code verbatim, you will a field incrementing from -99999... until 99999 and then it will begin all over again.

Create a sequence, like so CREATE SEQUENCE "WHATEVER_IDS" INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1 MAXVALUE 1.0E28 MINVALUE 1 NOCYCLE CACHE 20 NOORDER;

then when you insert INSERT INTO test (whatever_ids.nextval);

the nice thing is that in your next query you can just do whatever_ids.curval instead of looking up the value with mysql_auto_id or whatever the function is.

As for the entry to the database through php, I'm not entirely sure what method you're using to add these. Are they uploading their file and then it reads it as it exists on the server? Is it supposed to read a file they specify with a browse but never actually upload it anywhere? It might be better to just include a text field for them to cut+paste to in a form if it's nothing but text.

The project is a kind of knowledge base. For each entry a user creates, he should be able to give additional information, such as every kind of file (i.e. not only code files but also images etc). There is an <input type="file" ...> where he selects the file to be uploaded. The php-script is simply supposed to receive the file and put it into the proper database-column (which is a MEDIUMBLOB by the way, should be enough space, or what's your opinion?).

in my opinion you'd save yourself some major hassle by allowing them to ftp files like this directly to a server's directory via form based ftp. then perhaps add a column that adds filenames to itself with the UPDATE sql query type. this should be enough info for you to write php that could handle a listing of these dynamicly. I'm still not entirely sure the details but this is what I would do in the same situation. A db engine is for text, a server is for storing files. IMHO

Hi list members!

I'm having a strange problem here regarding cookies. First let me explain the scenery: I'm developing a site that have a login system. I'm using PHP , MYSQL and APACHE under MS windows 98 SE. So, when the user login into the first page, I "set up" 2 cookies, one with his name and other with the number of accesses, so, when the user is taken to the main page, I print a message, and inside this message I print the two cookies. Well, the strange thing, is that in the beggining, everything was working FINE...but, without any reason, it stopped to work...it was appearing that the browser wasn't getting the cookie value or not returning it...So, I tried a lot of times and nothing happened!...I tried with Netscape and even with Internet Explorer 5.0...nothing...So, without any reason, AGAIN, it started to work in Netscape...but It don't work in Internet Explorer...noway...

Any tip? Any experience like this???

Thanks in advance for any kind of help!!!

Best Regards,

If it is very sensitive, employ a good security expert. Everything else is a desaster waiting to happen.

Hello (again)

I've got a query which extract titles and categories with a group by on the categorie. Is there a simple way to display rows like this (without doing a second query ):

Categorie A -titi -toto -tutu

Categorie B -bibi -nini -fififi

Categorie C -titi -toto -tutu

... etc

With cold fusion (for those who know) I want to do the same as <CFOUTPUT QUERY="myquery" GROUP="categorie">

Thanks

I have a chunk of code in a webpage that works like this, to rotate some ads.. :

if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($getads)) { do { $POS = $row[LASTPOS]; $ID = $row[ID]; $POS++; if ($POS > $numads) { $POS = 1; }

$update = mysql_query("UPDATE adtracker set LASTPOS = '$POS' where ID = '$ID'"); echo $row[LINKLOC];

} while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($getads));

}

so it grabs the last position that ad was in fr
