Actually, from the original post, this will specifically NOT do what
he asks. Whether it's what he actually wants is something else. He
asks to replace the comma with a zero and a comma (actually, prepend
a zero), not replace the comma with a zero, which is what your
"correct" script does.
Make the last line:
$str = "0" . $str;
and it'll do what is asked.

Hi Jason, thanks for the reply. Perhaps I've missed the point somewhere.
We have Windows applications which use the Microsoft Browser Control and create/post URLs such as:
webserver/webpage.php?User=uuuuu&Pass=ppppp&Var1=xxxxx&Var2=yyyyy etc.
These applications are running on the LAN where the user has already logged on with their username and password. The above will not work if Register-Globals=Off. We don't want to use Register-Globals=On because the webserver is also open to the rest of the world where the users log on before getting to the web page.
Hope it makes sense

It's possible, kind of ...
... but, I'm curious as to what would be the purpose of such a setup. It could
make debugging slightly easier but I really can't think of any *real* reason.
Perhaps if you say what kind of problem you're trying to solve there may be a
more obvious solution.

Okay... now to take another shot at the question...
It's not a question of whether to use templating or not. It's a question of
what level of abstraction you want to use when templating.
Using include() to insert a header and footer *is* templating. However,
this approach has certain trade-offs. For instance, the placement of the
include() relative to other generated screen elements is more rigid.
However, it is an extremely simple form of templating that's easily
implemented.
From here, you could go to another level. You could generate a "template"
which consists of nothing but calls to "presentation helper" code, as Rasmus
suggests. In this case, you have a bit more flexbility, since you can
possibly relocate includes() and calls to helper functions, as well as
insert presentation elements directly. The trade-off is additional
complexity because some of the presentation has been moved to a series of
helper functions, where it is likely that presentation elements and code
will be more mixed.
If you want to go even more "abstract", you could attempt to separate *all*
presentation elements into templates and template snippets, likely using
some form of str_replace() to build the final presentation. In it's simpler
incarnation, the formatting of the data itself (e.g. showing thousands
separator in a number or not) will still be embedded in the code. More
complex versions may allow additional control over the formatting from
within the templating system itself. Whichever way you go, this approach
adds more flexibility at the cost of complexity. In a sense, generating XML
and running it through XSLT would be an example of this flexibility. As
Rasmus points out, once you get to this level, you have practically
re-created PHP (ever notice just how complex XSLT can get?).
There are certainly other approaches that I have not covered. They may be
hybrids of the above. They may be entirely different approaches.
Regardless, they all have trade-offs that should be considered before using.
Also, it is also important to note that some of the above approaches may
have runtime performance constraints (notably the "abstract" version
detailed above). In a sense, you are writing an interpreter in an
interpreter (fortunately, the sabltron xslt processor is not written in PHP,
or we would see just how slow an "interpreter written in an interpreter"
could get). There are likely ways to optimize all of these approaches, one
of which is to go through a "one-time" compilation process that takes the
presentation and code and merges them into something that is resumably as
free of "templating" overhead as you can get. Even in this case, there are
trade-offs....
So, which way should you go? It depends on all sorts of factors:
* Your comfort level with each style of templating.
* What your application may require:
* who will be editing the presentation portions
* how complex the presentations will be
* whether processing times will be significantly affected
* etc.
* etc.
So... if include()s work for your needs, go with it! If you later on have
a need for a different approach, go with it! As we have seen from this
thread, there is no one right answer...

TemplateTamer is closest to this approach, since your program basically
have to prepare data tree that contains the data, and then engine assembles
html page from templates. The important differences from xml+xslt are:
1) you prepare a data tree as php array, not a dom tree
2) you do not have to write xslt or anything similar, since TT generates
necessary PHP code to handle this part of functionality. (this is also in my
opinion biggest weaknes of xml+xslt: need to hack xslt, which contain both
design and code)
3) There are much less "initialization" code you have to write like load
this load that, call transform .. , allmost all of that is handled by TT
4) transformations done by TT engine are simpler than chores sablotron needs
to endure.

Hi Rush,
Thank you for taking the time to reply to me.
Right now my "templating" is really really basic...I just have the header
and footer HTML (no php) as an include at the top and bottom of my site so I
dont think I really need a "templating system".Coming from JAVA servlets I
LOVE the way you can include stuff like this, its saves me hours.
PHP rocks and I dont think I will ever leave it.
But in the next few weeks I may be working on a big project and I think I
might be needing a templating system to work with, I know you are connected
with TT (as a developer or owner I dont know), I have visited your site and
found little details...
I was originally thinking of going with SMARTY as that seems to be the
popular choice for some time for people I know...
Since you are connected with TT I think you will know the insides of a
templating system better than the average PHP person (although there are
some wizards on everything PHP on the php general list)
a few questions if you dont mind:
(most important) Is TT free like SMARTY? :-)
Learning curve?
can you give me a few features that TT has that SMARTY fails at?
Any suggestions advise also welcome.
Cheers,
-Ryan

Smarty is by all means very well known and established with many happy
users. I also believe it is currently most popular template system, although
recent php kitchen poll points patTemplate as most popular:

No. TT is closest to shareware, and it commes in two flavours:
- Free edition: free of charge, includes promotional link in the footer of
all generated pages. You can use this version without time limit. The
developer environment (the one you are using while developing, not the pages
generated with) occasionaly promotes Developer's edition.
- Developer's edition: costs $28, you can use it to produce unlimited number
of the sites with.
> Learning curve?
Probably steep, especially because:
- it has "other way around" feeling to it, which one needs to get
comfortable with
- i am not very skilled with documentation.
I try to step in with extra advice whenever I can to compensate for that,
but it is not somethhing I can promise, especially if suddenly larger number
people write to me.
> can you give me a few features that TT has that SMARTY fails at?
it would not be fair to say that SMARTY fails, since it has many users, and
many of them are very happy. The main differences are in approach, and
focus. Here are the main differences:
SMARTY
- includes logic of the templates within a template, you define logic in
form of SMARTY expressions.
- SMARTY does not come with development environment. It is basically library
and runtime system that you install.
- established, with large user base
TT
- logic is in php files separated from templates. Logic is defined in php
language.
- TT commes with development environment; editor, project, tree view of your
template structure, simple code wizard.
- TT requires you to use at least some OO. For each page you need to define
a coresponding class. If OO is not your preffered approach this can be an
obstacle. Othervise I believe it leads to nicer design where you develop
hierarchy of classes for pages, where you have a general class describing
elements common to all pages on your site, and than you gradually add
specialization in each page. Also you usually develop classes that drive
common elements or components on your site.
- TT is new, at least in public. I have been using it for about 2,5 years in
my projects, but only recently put it out as product.
> Any suggestions advise also welcome.
No, except that if you would have some questions about your project, like
"how would I go on doing this in TT", or "what would be a best way to
solve/divide/organize/approach this with TT", you could drop me an e-mail,
and I will try to give advice on it. It is beneficiall for me in 2 ways, it
might help spread TT and at same time gives me idea about usuall problems
and questions.

OK.. I've spent the past week working my way through the PHP file wrapper
code. And have found that include and require statements DO actually go
through the wrapper code.. I have a physfs wrapper written and registered
as physfs://. Now I just need to make PHP use my wrapper instead of the
php_plain_files_wrapper... Now is there any reason as to why the
structures for the php_plain_files are defined as static??
As the real easy way to do this would be to replace the default structure
with pointers to my functions.. but it is defined as static..
so, most likely I'm going to have to create a patch to the PHP code for my
own uses...
Any other ideas on how I can accomplish this?

I need help with displaying an australian version of the current date and

I've set the locale for my application using: setlocale (LC_ALL, 'en');
Here is a class method I am using to return a date/time string

function dateAndTime($timestamp)

Here is a sample command with a timestamp as input: echo
dateAndTime('20030430121556');
Here is output from the above command: 04/30/03 12:15:56 PM
NOTE THAT THE DATE AND MONTH NEED TO BE INTERCHANGED!!!!!!!!

Luke,
Please don't the same message over and over... people will answer it when/if
they can.
For starters, 20030430121556 doesn't look like a unix (epoch) timestamp to
me... it looks more like YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
Secondly, I'm not sure your problem is directly related to locale.
For argument's sake, let's take a different approach:
<?
function formatDateFromStamp($stamp)
{
$year4 = substr($stamp,0,4);
$year2 = substr($stamp,2,2);
$month = substr($stamp,4,2);
$day = substr($stamp,6,2);
$hour = substr($stamp,8,2);
$min = substr($stamp,10,2);
$sec = substr($stamp,12,2);
if($hour >= 12) { $ampm = "pm"; } else { $ampm = "am"; }
return "{$day}/{$month}/{$year2} {$hour}:{$min}:{$sec}{$ampm}";
}
echo formatDateFromStamp('20030430121556');
?>
This will echo 30/04/03 12:15:56pm, which seems to be what you want -- why
do you need to go through mktime, and where is the locale issue?
Really, I'd be throwing away the stamps you're currently using, and just
using unix epoch time stamps (the number of seconds since 1970).
They can easily be obtained at any time in a script using time(), can easily
have a number of seconds added, subtracted and dived to them, are easily
compared (one is greater than the other, etc).
Better still, they're easily converted to human-readable dates using date():
echo date('d/m/y h:i:s a',$mystamp);
Anyway, I guess you should do a few inserts, and retrievals, to see how the
above function stacks up against the existing one... then if there's still a
locale issue, we can tackle that.

This will echo 30/04/03 12:15:56pm, which seems to be what you want -- why
do you need to go through mktime,
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php
AS YOU SEE ON THE MANUAL PAGE, mktime() GIVES A UNIX 'epoch' TIMESTAMP
and where is the locale issue?
THE LOCALE ISSUE IS, MY APP HAS OPTIONS FOR NUMEROUS LANGUAGES.
DATES ARE DISPLAYED DIFFERENTLY TO AUSTRALIA IN THE USA
I WANT TO USE ONE SIMPLE FUNCTION (THAT USES strftime() ) TO OUTPUT A
LOCALE-SPECIFIC TIME WITH A GIVEN TIMESTAMP (EPOCH OR OTHER), THE SPECIFIC
LOCALE IS SET USING setlocale() AT APPLICATION CONFIG TIME..
Really, I'd be throwing away the stamps you're currently using, and just
using unix epoch time stamps (the number of seconds since 1970).
DOING SO WOULDNT SOLVE MY PROBLEM.
ANY MORE SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Have you tried the strftime outside the function? To me it looks like what
you're doing should be OK.
Sorry - that's all I've got when the clock ticks over past 5 and I can leave
work :)

Luke,
Let's start from the start.
1. The Timestamp:
a HOW was this timestamp generated -- by PHP? MySQL? Something else?
b WHERE was it generated -- I assume on the live server in the US?
c what TIMEZONE is the timestamp in? GMT? US?
2. The Conversion:
a is the conversion taking place on the same server as the stamp was
generated?
Thanks,
Justin

Hiya I just wanted to know if there was any tips people could offer me
regarding cascade deletes. im using mysql and want to hard code delete query
that traverses the necesssary tables using php.
For e.g. I had a Project table, which contains loads of bugs (in the bug
table). Every bug is stored with the foreign key projid so to know which
bugs are related to which projects. Now inside every bug I allow the option
to add a followup to update the bug such as status of the bug....(This data
stored in the bug_followup table).
Now say I want to delete a project I can get all the bugs in that project
with:
select bugid from bug, project where bug.projid=project.projid;
Now I can get all the followups of the bug also doing(im guessing):
select * from bug_followup, bug where bugid=bug.bugid. But just not sure how
to join up the queries?I should do this?
Is there a way to build a nested query such as in php:
delete * from bug_followup where bugid =(select bugid from bug where
projid=$projid;
Thanx
Bobster

So if mysql doesnt support cascade and nested queries can someone tell me
how they get around deleting from more than one table. I suppose im really
stuck on looping through one table and deleting all the rows.
Here I go again:
I can see the projid of the project wishes to delete and also I can see
all the bugs which exist in that project by doing:
select * from bug where bug.projid='$projid'
But how do I do the logic for every bug that is within that project check to
see if it has bug followups and if so delete them per bug untill all bug
followups have been deleted then delete the bug then finally delete the
project.
DO I need to use some sort of loop to delete?
Going into my example in first email:
would I use:
Delete * from bug_follow_up where bug_follow_up.bugid=bug.bugid.
Delete * from bug where bug.bugid=project_followup.bugid
Delete * from project where projid='$projid'

I get all the id's into an array then:
$list= implode(',', $ids);
$qry="DELETE FROM foo WHERE id IN ($list)";
mysql_query($qry);
$qry="DELETE FROM bar WHERE idref IN ($list)";
mysql_query($qry);

OK, here's the code I wound up with :
Importantly, I needed to have
error_reporting(1);
at the top of the script, otherwise all those warnings would have driven me
crazy :)
The recursive function thereafter was:
function traverseDir($item_to_test, $level, $file_path) {
$level = $level + 1;
if (strcmp($item_to_test, ".") == 0) {
$fullpath = <some path>;
}
else {
$fullpath = $file_path . "/" . $item_to_test;
}
if((boolean)opendir($fullpath) == 1) {
if ($handle = opendir($fullpath)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
//exclude the . and .. files
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
traverseDir($file, $level, $fullpath);
}
}
}
}
else {
echo str_repeat(" ", $level * 2) . $file_path . "/" .
$item_to_test . "<br>\n";
}
}
All that $level really was for was to indent the echo during the script
output, but it servers as a kind of counter to find how many levels deep
your directory structure goes...
Thanks everyone for your help :)

hello. i have been asking for help to get a remote
html file echoed onto my webpage since include()
doesn't seem to work with it anymore since the new php
version/server.
one of the list users suggested fopen(). I have used
the following code both with and without the trailing
url slash:
<?$fp=fopen("http://www.wiu.edu/stu/","r");
while (!feof ($fp)){
$buffer=fgets($fp,4096);
echo $buffer;}?>
but i get the following results with the errors on
line 2 and 3 repeating over and over and over below
what is displayed below:
Warning: fopen(http://www.wiu.edu/stu/)

what's wrong? it works with yahoo.com but it takes
like 15 seconds (just like include() does now for the
sites that work with it). is this possibly a server
config problem? allow url fopen is on. what should i
check or do? thanks

$ch = curl_init($url); //--> Sets session handle for CURL to use
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 4); //--> CURL session options :
number of seconds to allow each CURL command to execute
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1); //--> :silent failure if the

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //--> :tells CURL to return
the transfer rather than print it to stdout
$content = curl_exec($ch); //--> executes CURL session and returns

The entire HTML for that page should now be stored in $content

str_replace()
preg_replace()
ereg_replace()
all fit the bill and will do what you need.

But you SHOULD use str_replace()... Using regular expressions for a
simple replace like this is a waste of resources.
In general, you should always benchmark your solutions. Just because
something is a single line of code in a regular expression, a couple
lines of individual str_replace()es might be faster. Been there, seen
that. :)

Mysql:

PHP:
$string = str_replace(" ","_", $string);
$string = preg_replace("/[\s]/","_",$string);
$string = eregi_replace("[[:space:]]","_",$string);
I would use the mySql way.

Hey All,
Not asking anyone here to write me a script or anything, just after some

What I want to do is grab a whole heap of variables that a user puts in ie-

I know how to put all the variables into place, just after a start on the

I have understood your statement. TemplateTamer uses full and native PHP as
"logic" language for it's templates, so there is no separate language used
to control templates. It is just full and plain PHP at your disposall. The
trick is, that templates are not controled by some intermideate language
embeded in the template, but by php code preparing the data tree to be
displayed. So you have a full php strength at your disposal, you are not
working in some brewed up language but in php.

Well, yes, I believe you can, and that many or some people find this method
more natural, or simpler. But for me tools like TT offer me more power, and
simplify coding and improve separation of code and html. I do understand
that things like that are highly subjective, and that it is not necessarily
the same for everyone else.

Well, if it is of any comfort, TemplateTamer does not have any sort of logic
embeded in templates, and specially not iterators, so we actually have very
similar opinion on the topic :)

In all honesty, I find it very hard to listen to your arguments.
They may be right, and they may be wrong, but the fact remains that you have
a commercial interest in arguing the side of templates (and your product

In the signature of all my posts I am including link to the TemplateTamer,
so I think I have made quite clear that I am connected to it, and from that
it follows that I do have interest that it succedes.
However I do not think that excludes me form arguing about templates, what
are prons and cons, and how does the TT fit in the scene from my view. I
also often try to point out that many of the issues are in the area of
personal and style, that there other approaches as well, and I often point
readers to other template systems, and that people should lear about the
options but in the end use what they find best for them.
In the end, I believe that arguments and opinons should be able to stand by
themselves, regardless of who made them. I have made known my relation to
the TT so that people can put what I am saying to more scrutiny, but I think
that there is really nothing wrong with me expressing what I think here, and
explaining how TT works when the subject is templates.
It is by all means your choice what will you read, and with how much effort,
but if my posts fail in non-credible for you, I am sorry, and I will
certanly miss your (or everyone elses with same stance) reading, since I
have tried to sincerely express what do I think.
Thanks for the honesty, however, it was as always very valuable.
Sincerely,
rush

You'll be using this function:

You should find some examples there. Searching for tutorials on your

I hope I get your question right: Am i right that the replacing of the
space to an underscore works now?
>Overall all result will be 3 columns with different record fields represnted
>by a bar code with spaces taken out.
So your question is how to present the results in 3 columns?
simplest would be:
echo '<tr>';
for($i = 0; $i < $numofrows; $i++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result); //get a row from our result set
echo "<TD><etc>".$row['Bldgroomcab']."</TD>\n";
//make new row after every 3rd item
if (($i+1)%3==0) echo "</TR>\n<tr>";
}
echo '</tr>';
About your query: if you are only using the field Bldgroomcab, you can
replace the * in the query with Bldgroomcab, without quotes, to reduce the
result set.

I was learning about ob_start and how it can help you with posting more
headers without problems, and later on how it could compress the output.
Then i thought about the phpbb forum.
There already is a ob_start('ob_gzhandler') in a header which is included,
and in the phpbb configuration the Enable Gzip compression option.
On php.net i read about Gzip en Zlib compression, gzip gives slower response
times because it waits for the complete page, and then starts compressing
while zlib starts compressing at the first bytes it receives from a page..
parrallel compressing. Therefore gzip produces more cpu load.
Then, ignoring the fact that there already is an ob_start in a included
header, i put ob_start(""); at the beginning of index.php and watched the
response times then. I tried i lot more actually, and ob_start(""); with the
"" gives better results as a normal ob_start();.
response times, with gzip compression on (in phpbb configuration) AND the
extra ob_start(""); at the top of index.php, give a increase of 0.25 avg to
0.18 avg response time.
Now, with this large introduction.. how can it be? They don't give usable
answers on phpbb.com.. Is it that this extra ob_start("") creates a stacking
buffer? And why seems ob_start() to differ from ob_start("") ?
(response times mod (puts a line like "phpBB Created this page in 2.902957
seconds : 16 queries executed : GZIP compression disabled" at the bottom):
http://www.phpbb.com/mods/downloads/uploads/generation_creation_1.0.0.txt)
