For new line support look at the 's' modifier.

I had a feeling i might have to ask my ISP, they seem
cool they might do it,
unless there is a security concern about changing the
permisson's of said
directory. I seriously doubt they will enable the
'chmod' command, i think that
would be a security concern. No i don't have ssh
access. I will ask them to
change the permission's, if that doesn't work, i will
keep working on it.
Thank's for the reply marek, your a life saver, and a

Yes. Currently in my code, there is the ADODB object, which is used as
normal.
I pass this object by reference to Smarty so its plugins can access the
DB if neccessary,
and two other classes that need DB access. Im going on the assumption,
that
if one doesn't have to pass by reference, then dont do it, especially
large objects,
and having multiple copies of them.
All of this is just a thought. Whether its feasable, is another story
for my app....

This may be seem like a shameless plug but I think it's relevant. In the
InterJinn framework i created I had a similar issue. PHP has the
horrible issue that when passing objects around it copies them (this is
fixed in PHP5 from what I hear). This causes extra processing to copy
large objects which have big data sets, and makes it extremely difficult
to properly implement a singleton pattern. In the InterJinn framework
what I did was create a wrapper class, but rather than having other
classes extend it, I have a core loader service which takes a string
name as a parameter and returns the associated object (database,
session, cache, etc.). The returned object however is not the actual
object, but rather an instance of the wrapper class with a single
instance variable called do, the do variable is a reference to the real
object. Thus if someone copies the returned object they only copy the
wrapper, and the internal reference is maintained. It makes for slightly
odd syntax:
$dbManager->do->getConnection( 'default' );
but the cost of the intermediate lookup is extremely small and it
prevents issues where copies of an expected singleton are made. In cases
where a user wants to optimize and actually work with the references,
they can always do:
$dbManager = &$this->getServiceRef( 'databaseManager' )
$db = $dbManager->getConnection( 'default' );
instead of the nanoscopically slower:
$dbmanager = $this->getService( 'databaseManager' );
$db = $dbManager->do->getConnection( 'default' );
Anyways maybe that will help you with your own problem.
Cheers,
Rob.

whwen you jump to the next page, make sure there's a parameter that contains the original search term in each search result page you're loading....either by including it in a URL (for a link) or hidden field for a "Next" button.

Use a where clause. Read this:

I'm in the process of building my first "real" class.
43 methods, 23 properties, nearly 1000 lines of codes.
What I would like to know...
Is it better to keep al this in a single file? Or break it up into
sub-classes?
This does have logical sections, so a breakup would be possible, but then
I'm not sure how I would piece it back together.
Also...
Many properties are not required at object instantiation, but I define them
none-the-less. Many are derived from multiple others.
It is better to define all properties, many may never be used, or simply
define them as they are called?
I define them all now, so there is a (ever so) slight hit on cycles for
this.
If I define them as they are called, then each needs a conditional to
process to run each time that GETTER is called.
Or is this "6 of one and half-dozen of another"?
Now, this gets broken up, many of the properties correspond the different
sections. then he properties should be defined as called, because their
package would only be loaded when called.
Am I talking in circles here?
Does anyone have any advise?
Thanks
Walter

I tested it, it works great.
Then I read on...
Setting $this to null isn't available in PHP 4.3.3R3 anymore. Maybe in
version below also.
Great! :/
I have 4.3.2, so I guess it would work for me.
If this "feature" has been removed, can someone show me a good way to
indicate a failure on object instantiation?
Thanks

hi,
It's generaly considered that constructors are supposed return an
instance of that class. Use a factory instead if you want to return nulls;

I've read the entire manual on classes, and I did not see an answer to my
question.
I see how to access methods of a parent from the child...
parentName::foo();
or
parent::foo();
but I would like to gain access to read and/or modify properties from the
parent.
Yes, I built getters that work, but I was wondering about a more direct
method.

I'm writing a PHP script inspired by smartypants and textile (but for
PHP), which among other things does smart quoting.
However, I want to avoid smart quotes inside all tags (all quotes
inside < and >). Since there are numerous functions accounting for
numerous special cases, AND the fact that there will be very few tags
with quotes (<a> is all so far), I'm thinking it's be easiest to go
back through the converted text and replace all converted smart
characters back to stupid ones
something like
$out =
preg_replace("/<(.*?)[“|”](.*?)>/","<\\1\"\\2>",$in); //
doubles
$out = preg_replace("/<(.*?)[’|̵](.*?)>/","<\\1'\\2>",$in);
// singles
would be nice, but it isn't working, and I think this is stretching my
skills in preg's waaay too far.
simularly, I'd like to preserver / de-convert any text contained with
<pre></pre> tags
Any hints would be great!

Not that formmail.pl was the most secure idea, but it could take any variable off any form and mail the contents to a vriable on that form. Does anyone know of such a critter in existence for PHP, a script that will read in all variable on any form and email them. Something already created? Any use of formmail.pl these days would need updating to protect it from spamming. Anything available?

<input type="hidden" name="FormSubject" value="Test form">

<?}?>
If you are getting an email address for replying to call it name="Email" and the
replyto gets filled in properly.

First off, disconnect your computer from the Internet- RIGHT NOW. You
do have a virus and you're gonna infect more people. Odds are the virus
broke your scanner, so either reinstall it or go get another one. The
best bet (since I don't know how your virus works) if to scan the hdd
from another PC to remove the problems.
Other people might have better ideas, but mine should be sufficient.
Either way get off the Net, now. :)

Man, once again- Outlook is not the problem. Get the PC off the
internet and scan it until it's found. Put the drive in another PC, use
one of the systems available for removing viruses with a boot CD/disk,
etc, but don't half-ass this. You're now a menace and youneed to fix
things. If it's harsh, tough. Get it fixed by scanning like I said or
doing a complete wipe. Besides, why save your Outlook stuff when it has
a freakin' virus in it?
Oh, and to Raditha Dissanayake who suggested Linux- do you actually
think this guys needs/can handle Linux? :)

You guys running Linux sure are cocky about these sorts of things. I have

If Linux enjoyed the same type of (often less-than-computer-literate) user

just not a honeypot of large numbers of gullible users.

I have been dying to say "You can fix all of your problems by

but the fact remains that an out of the box installation of any of the
linux distros are far more secure than anything putout by that redmond

All security advantages aside, I prefer linux because everytime I
install a new program or service I don't need to reboot :)

Yeeek, that should say "ONE of the reasons I prefer linux....". There
are in actual fact many, many, many, many more reasons :)

Not as cut and dry as that. By design, Linux IS more secure. Great
deal of that security lies in the fact that it IS a true multi-user
system (like just about every other non-MS OS out there), with a real
permission / user / group mindset.

Not a troll, just misinformed.

It's all about the Rush

attached mail follows:
Not saying that there aren't lots of reasons to like and run Unix. I run
FreeBSD as my webserver, for instance, because I think its the right OS for
the job. I run WinXP on my desktop, though, because it has the applications
I want to use, is familiar and comfortable to me, and I have the hardware to
make it an enjoyable experience. I run the dreaded Outlook Express, and I
(usually) love the integration present in Windows. Sure, that integration
makes it easier to do stoopid things, but remember it's people that kill
people, not guns.
Because I use FreeBSD, I know a lot of BSD gurus--you know the type: long
hair, longer beard, eyes that look like pissholes in the snow. You should
hear what these guys have to say about Linux. It's just a big daisy-chain
of supposed superiority.
I'm not trying to stand on a soap box and defend Windows... I just think
that mocking others for using what they like/know/have is not a good idea,
whether it's Windows, Linux, BSD, whatever. And in this case, mocking
someone who has AIDS is probably not as useful as helping him to prevent
spreading it, which is sorta what he was asking (IINM). Though this is
probably not the venue for his question...
Cheers,
Pete.

Oh, sorry... wrong list. :-)
attached mail follows:
heres my 2cents
If you know what your doing, it is possible to secure a windows machine. It depends on the user, i keep my windows machine upto date, plus ive got a firewall running on it just incase. I havent had a virus or been compromised (not that i know of) since i bought my laptop.
Dont get me wrong linux is good if your the tinkering type (I use linux/netbsd at work), but use win2k at home. The reason why? the easy of use, installing hardware is a piece of cake. plus use it to play games as a stress relief.
I remember talking to my friend (who is a linux zealot) about the new sound card he just purchased. It took him freaking 3-5 days of tinkering to get it to work as there werent any linux drivers out for it at the time.
I can think of 101 better things to do than waste time installing a new hardware.
PS. Preach on Peter! :)
