I like that idea too-- I just don't like having to learn what amounts to a
third language to do it. Does one have to have a templating engine in order
to achieve this?

I find reusability to be, largely, a theoretical mantra, templates or not.
In general, between applications, so much changes that even the same basic
idea means that the most reusable part are SQL queries and such, and I
already keep THOSE separate.

And I've been looking for good examples of code on the web-- examples that
exemplify forethought and reusability. I must be looking in the wrong
places :)

Well an example I'm experiencing right now with my template system which
is making my life so much easier and saving me oodles of time -- is
creating a PDF version of my site. To do this doing a few things:

1. creating a new site configuration (actually a copy of the
InterJinn site configuration with a few changes)

2. Creating a new set of template patterns for this configuration
(2 to be exact)

3. Creating one new layout template for the PDF version.

4. Creating one master source file which provides a chapter
mechanism for the InterJinn site's sections.

5. extending the original jinnDoc tag compiler to provide support
   for a <jinnDoc:chapter/> and <jinnDoc:subChapter/> tag and to
   reduce the <h?/> tag ranks for the current <jinnDoc:title/>,
   <jinnDoc:subTitle/>, etc. tags.

6. Compiling the new site patterns.

7. running htmldoc on the output.

So in 7 fairly easy steps (once you know the framework) I've converted
my InterJinn site into an easily downloadable PDF for offline reading.
Total time invested: 3 hours. later I'll add support for
<jinnDoc:pdfOnly/> and <jinnDoc:webOnly/> tags to properly separate out
content that makes no sense in the website or vice versa.

The nice thing about this was I hadn't even planned on doing a PDF till
someone requested it via a comment on the website. I'll probably release
interJinn-0.9.2 next weekend, so you can see the code then if you want
since I include the InterJinn site as it's own example :) As is you can
see the non PDF stuff if you download the current version.

Cheers,
Rob.

That's the key, what better way then rolling your own. I think frameworks develop
on their own with experience. That's not to say that looking at other people's
solutions isn't part of the experience.

Try out smarty (its quite simple). You will get some
ideas on how to structure. I learned that its *ok* to
have some *display logic* in your templates (i.e.
repeating rows). (yes, some will adamantly disagree)

Another thing i learned when using smarty is I like
using arrays to keep things organized.

i.e.
$article['id'], $article['title'],
$article['publish_date'], $article['author'],
$article['content']
rather than
$id, $title, $publish_date, $author, $content

I agree here. I'm new to this templating system thing, so I'm
studying on it and have found the smarty concept better. I also
found this article that I liked and gives a simple solution to
implement in few steps to get started:

Ok, i like it coz it adds a bit of the "fancy" element to the same old

No problem, tell me if you have any more q's although my replies may be a

A hassle is right. What about your visitors who use a text-only browser
(or surf with images turned off) or who depend on text-to-speech readers?

This sort of thing is, IMNSHO, unnecessary and the wrong approach; it
makes the web harder to use without making it a safer place. The form
should be designed correctly and safely in the first place. We don't use
this sort of approach to prevent buffer overflow attacks and it shouldn't
be used anywhere else, either.

Any ideas on how to correct this? Am I right in saying that there is a

Any ideas appreciated.

Microsoft performed some crafty redirects to address this issue with
passport. I seem to recall them getting a ton of heat for it two or so
years ago. Not sure if they still do it.

I believe the procedure involved integrating the session data between
passport.com and (e.g.) expedia.com, such that a request to the latter
would return a redirect to the former, and that in turn would generate a
subsequent redirect back to the latter, this time with the Passport ID in
the URL. In this way, microsoft was able to synchronize your ID between
affiliated sites in a reasonably transparent way. It was pretty elegant,
but still struck me as creepy and manipulative. Go figure.

database along with the document id and file type/size, and the file is
renamed to just the id number.

Now I need to use webdav to let user edit files as it is normally done
with webbad, with the problem that the files have no name/extension so I
have to recreate them with php. I created a couple of php files, that
capture the GET, PROPFINDS, PUTs, etc. The idea is that the user opens
the php file specifying the file id, and the php file looks up the name,
retrieves the content of the file and sends it to the client (this is
currently being done without problem, when the php script sees a GET, it
looks for the file and send it). I need the php script to be able to
capture PUT as well and when it gets one, it takes the data and saves it
to the file that has the id. The problem is, I open the .php file and I
get the data of the file, but when I save, my php code is replaced with
the actual text of the file as if the file they're editing is the php file.

Any help or advise you could provide me about this would be really
appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

Why is the product_details.php is not getting the id value

In the URL it is showing id=1 with along with the correction

You'd use CSS for that. Create a class for each color you want to
give as options. In each cell tag add a var that'll be the class
for that cell, like "<td class=<?=cell01;?>>" and you'd assign
the color to that variable using the dropdown menu. To select the
cells, you could probably put a checkbox in each cell, so that
the checked cells will be the ones assigned the color you choose.
I think it could work, never done it myself yet, though ;)

If you don't want your users to wait for server responce each time they
touch something, use javascript.

changeColor(c) {
        var e;
        e = (document.all ? document.all.elementId :
document.getElementById('elementId'));
        e.style.backgroundColor = c;

Seems like you're going about this the wrong way.

What's the point in indulging in idle speculation about what *could* go
wrong,
when you should be asking your users what really *is* going wrong.

You could also put the input values in dropdown menus, at least
day and month. That way you make sure the input to the funtion is
correct everytime.

The code is just a function it's not a "page" in itself. I use it
in a form that display checkboxes for each Sunday in a month.
Someone else may use it by providing the arguments via a form in
the manner you suggest. The function, however, is just that, a
function.

Cheers, Greg.

Sorry about the late reply, i have been out of town. One further

I do this by passing a hidden value in the post. The value can
identify anything you like, on mine it identifies the domain the
form was submitted from (though thinking about this now I can do
this without a hidden value, but you get the idea!).

The problem with this is that it means you have to have a separate
copy of each form unless you can construct the hidden input value
using other variables.

Cheers, Greg.

Hmm .. I haven't been on the list for a while so it took me some time to
answer ;).. Anyways, what I believe is a possible cause for your problem is
that there simply ain't no session started. Maybe the "always start session
before the php page request" setting was On if not configured, but is now
Off in your ini file.

783 ; Initialize session on request startup.
784 session.auto_start = 0

Might wants to be changed to

783 ; Initialize session on request startup.
784 session.auto_start = 1

Also check this one

773 ; Whether to use cookies.
774 session.use_cookies = 1

In combination with

    850 ; trans sid support is disabled by default.
    851 ; Use of trans sid may risk your users security.
    852 ; Use this option with caution.
    853 ; - User may send URL contains active session ID
    854 ; to other person via. email/irc/etc.
    855 ; - URL that contains active session ID may be stored
    856 ; in publically accessible computer.
    857 ; - User may access your site with the same session ID
    858 ; always using URL stored in browser's history or bookmarks.
    859 session.use_trans_sid = 0

If both are set to "0", sessions simply won't work since PHP cannot know
about the session id. If session.use_cookies is enabled, and
session.use_trans_sid is not than you should have Cookies enabled in your
browser for sessions to work.

Or if you're on Windows, pay special attention to

771 session.save_path = /tmp

Which should then be changed to smth like c:\temp

That's pretty much what I can say about it .. If neither of those work, just
read the entire [Session] section in the php.ini file.

i have a script where people upload an image it is then renamed and is
supposed to be cripped according to the values they submit but i cant seem
to get it to crop it uploads and is renamed fine though. also i wish to use
a static name so when another picture is uploaded the old one is overwritten
that is why the input path and output path is the same.
-------------Code----------
exec($path_imagemagick."convert -crop 0x100+0+0 $imagepath.$filename
$imagepath.$filename");
---------End Code----------
any ideas why this wont work?

To change an image rather than make a new version of it, just use
mogrify.

Start there and let us know how you do.

Hi,

I need to send the following link

view_day.php?mysql_date=2003-09-23&user_id=35&set_form_actions=true&new_user
=yes&user_name=Kate%20Dickie&link_text=diary&link_action=availability.php?ne
w_user=yes&user_name=Kate%20Dickie.

This may seem strange that I have 2 ?'s in the link but the point here is
that I need everything after the 2nd ? to be used as a link on the following
page - which is actually held in a session.

However when I try to do this, the link_action held is
'availability.php?new_user=yes', how can I get everything after the 2nd ? to
be held in the session var?

Thanks for your help

urlencode() or rawurlencode() the value of 'link_action'.

I give an wrong example. Here is a better one

<?php

$txt = "func1($par1," 100 (euro)", func2($par2,"(c) by nobody"))";

if (preg_match_all('

([a-zA-Z]\w*?)

\s*

(

(?>.*?)|

.*?(?R)*

)

', $txt, $m)){

print_r($m);

} else {

echo "no match";

}

echo "\n";

This must result in :

First call: func1($par1," 100 (euro)", func2($par2,"(c) by nobody"))
Second call with the inner part $par1," 100 (euro)", func2($par2,"(c) by
nobody")
must result in : func2($par2,"(c) by nobody")

Please visit www.regexp.org there is an open thread of this question.

I would do it this way. Output your files and update bandwith usage:

while($out=fread($file, 4096)) {
        echo $out;
        UPDATE bandwith_usage SET bandwith_usage = bandwith_usage+1 WHERE
second = UNIX_TIMESTAMP() LIMIT 1
        if(mysql_affected_rows()==0) { // if this is the first output in this
second
                INSERT bandwith_usage SET bandwith_usage = 1, second = UNIX_TIMESTAMP()
        }
}

When you are about to start a download, check the bandwith usage first,
in this case for the last minute:

SELECT AVG(bandwith_usage) usage FROM bandwith_usage WHERE second >
UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - 60

usage * 4096 gives you usage in bytes per second. If it exceeds your
limit, output a html page (sorry...), else open the file and start the
above loop.

You might want to change 4096 to a higher value. You should also
implement a garbage collector that will remove old bandwith usage data,
the collector can make usage statistics too.

25 queries a second? No problem.

But you calculations are still wrong:

500 kb/s = 62.5 kB/s
62.5 kB/s * 100 users = 6 250 MB/s
6 250 MB/s / 4 kB (4096 B) = 1562.5 queries per second

Well that's too much. At this load 4096 can be increased to 409600, the
database load would be only 15.625 queries per second.

Hi All,

I am having problems with fsockopen() and wondered if anyone else has
encountered this behaviour. My problem is that when connecting to an invalid
domain I cannot trap the errors.

I have tried setting a variable then testing the value, which prints a
warning to the screen...

$sck_handle = fsockopen($hostname, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);
if (!$sck_handle)
{
        // socket could not be opened.
        $http_statuscode = "Error:" . $errno . "-" . $errstr;
}
else
{
        ...
}

How can I get $errno & $errstr, are these for read/write errors rather than
socket initialisation? I need to know why the socket could not be opened so
I can give an appropriate error message.

TIA

Have you checked that it is really an invalid domain and not simply been
hijacked by Versign:

I'm referencing an image on a different server, and it keeps changing
URL's
Very odd, but t get round that, I tried...

if (file_exists("http://www.othersite.com/image_1.gif")) {
$image_show="http://www.othersite.com/image_1.gif";
} else {
$image_show="http://www.mysite.com/image_1.gif";
}

but it always seems to do the else command, even though I know the file
DOES exist...

Just for the record, this problem exists from our parent website to one of
the subsideries, we're not referencing anything we shouldn't... ;-)

Any work arounds?

Try fopen() or similar instead.
