I looked at php pattern (www.phppatterns.com). I did not understand it well.

Is that supposed to be pattern as in software development pattern? If so why
the uml diagrams are not there?

For example

A sample Strategy pattern for form validation.

What does that mean?

I am confused.

They are design patterns for code. But the design patterns there are
more micro than your typical UML (though I suppose you could diagram the
design using UML if you really want).

Think of those patterns as a "blueprint for building a class". While
your problem at hand is unique, there are repeatable solutions
(patterns) that you can use and re-use to solve those unique patterns.
*That* is what design patterns are all about.

Form validation is a problem you will have over and over again. The
strategy pattern is a *repeatable solution* to that problem.

So you can use the Strategy pattern to solve your form validation
problem the first time around. Then the next time you need to validate
a form you say "hey, wait a minute, I know how to solve this problem!"
Poof! Light bulbs go on, angels sing and the beer flows like water.

Better yet: if you're careful about the way you design your "Strategy"
class, then you can re-use it for future projects. You become more
efficient because now you have this code base that you can re-use.
Easily. *Hopefully*. ;) It takes a lot of practice to get good at
this and even then you will end up scrapping designs later.

>
> I am confused.

Hopefully you're less confused now.

To summarize: if you have a repeatable problem with a single answer that
you can use to answer that problem then design patterns are "A Good
Thing". In addition, having those classes around will make it easier
for you to get a solution the second, third, etc. time around.

That's how print_r displays objects and nested objects - try a var_dump
on the item and you'll see that simplexml does NOT return arrays but
instead returns simplexml objects - if you want to use array_rand you
can cast
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php#language.types.typecasting)
the object to an array, or check out the user notes on simplexml
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php
to find example functions to change a simplexml object to an array
personally I prefer dom and use a domtoarray function - but YMMV -
please read the simplexml documentation again, it returns objects
(nested ones) NOT arrays

No, I'm not doing anything with Pear (just haven't gotten around to
it).

I did the same thing you did, installed into a separate directory and
fixed all the references in the webserver, and have deleted any PHP
4.3 files from the Windows/System folder.

Luckily it doesn't appear to be a big security problem as it only
displays the access violation in the browser window (no paths or
anything). A reboot fixes it until I do something like refreshing POST
data a few times again. Until I get the problem resolved, I don't
refresh POST data anymore on that server.

The frustrating thing is that the "crash" doesn't show up in any logs.
Even the Windows system logs.

I also didn't do any major changes from the default php.ini except to
enable some extensions I needed, set up the SMTP stuff, and that's
really about it.

I am running 5.0.3 on other servers (various web servers and MySQL
versions, but all Windows), and am not experiencing this problem. The
only difference with those servers is that 5.0.3 was installed fresh
(no previous PHP). I'm wondering if I missed one of the extension
files somewhere from 4.3.

Hey!
Thanks for replying.

I started out to do exactly that: changeing everything from JPEG to GIF, but
I also wanted to know what exactly i was doing so i started to read the
manual for each function that i was using and i got a bit stumped when i
came to "imagecreatetruecolor" as its only for JPEG...hence the confusion.

My server supports GIF and i've been reading up on the image manipulation
parts of the manual...lets see how it goes :-)

Hey,

The best part of your reply was:

"Or, you could even use http://php.net/imagegetsize and IGNORE the
filename, and base your decision on what's actually *IN* the file, so when
some idiot renames a jpeg to ".gif" because they think that will make it a
GIF (yes, that really happens)"

Here is a function I use for scaling that you can use as an example,it
also handles transparent gifs.

You can set $x or $y leaving the other at 0 to maintain aspect ratio
or set both to force a fixed box.

function Scale($input,$out,$x,$y){
  $info = getimagesize($input);

I'm firt time here so hello everybody

I have some skill in php coding so don't worry, I will no boring
with stupid question.

Due to I'm unable to test my app on all http servers with all configs
I need to know is it possible to get from PHP engine information about
executed script URL (not file system path).

Now what I'm investigated

It's began since I cannot use relative path for Location header on IIS servers. It must
contains URI.

I cannot build the URL with $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] because it not always
returns relative to server path (due to server configuration it
sometimes returns full URL)

building URL using method described in documentation comments:
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] + $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] is good until the
system is started with embeded php. If php runs as cgi,
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] returns path co cgi.exe

$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] and $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'] are
filesystem based variables, and are useless because we still have no
information about URL path related to server base URL.

So, is it possible to get this URL automaticly, or I will have add
variable with fixed URL into config file of system I'm working on.

best regards

Dear All

Is this a bug ?

I'm using look-behind assertions within preg_match()
to ignore certain combinations of patterns. E.g. from
ref. manual is: (?<!foo)bar matches "bar" but only
if it's not preceded by "foo".

Here's my test script:
----------------
$line = '$res = foobar("ddd", "dfdf");';
if (preg_match("/(?<!foo)(bar)/", $line, $matches)) {
         echo "Should NOT match foobar, but found: ".$matches[1];
}

$line = '$res = $bar("ddd", "dfdf");';
if (preg_match("/(?<!\$)(bar)/", $line, $matches)) {
         echo "Should NOT match \$bar, but found: ".$matches[1];
}
----------------

In the first preg_match() is correctly ignores the foobar
function name. However the second preg_match() does NOT
ignore the $bar as I expected.

I converted this to Perl and it correctly ignores both!

Is this a bug, or am I missing something ?

using PHP-4.3.10 + apache 1.3.33 + fc 1

Many thanks

Ian

This is a quoting issue. Above you are using double quotes, which interpolates
embedded PHP variables. Therefore if you want a literal "$" inside a double-quoted
string you have to escape it, as you have done. However, the "$" character is ALSO
a preg metacharacter (matches end of line). This means that you must also escape it
for the preg parser as well, so you need to escape it twice, by putting another
literal backslash behind it:

if (preg_match("/(?<!\\\$)(bar)/", $line, $matches)) {

Either that or you can use single quotes instead of double quotes:

if (preg_match('/(?<!\$)(bar)/', $line, $matches)) {

Either one will work.

Yeah that might work out pretty well. I found a free mind mapping
program on www.lifehacker.com called FreeMind (found on 2nd page today).
I've yet to try it out (dang thing is only dl'ing at 3.5Kb) but it looks
promising. Anyway, my experiences in the past with mind mapping have
been pretty good so that might play into your post-it notes idea pretty
well.

Hi all,

just to give you another solution that I've successfully adopted:

function die_script($errmsg)

$sendto = "xxxxxxxx.it";
              $from = "noreplyxxxxx.com";
              $subject = "FAILED";
              $message = "CONNECTION FAILED\nTYPE OF ERROR:\n" . mysql_error();
              $message .="\n\n";
              $headers = "From: $from\r\n";
              mail($sendto, $subject, $message, $headers);
             
   print $errmsg . "</body></html>";
   die;
  }
$connessione = mysql_connect ("192.168.168.1","user","password") or
die(die_script($errmsg));
mysql_select_db ("dbnamei");

Thanks for your help

Hi all,

I'm having the same problem as Jim Poserina. Richard pointed out some
things to try. Here's my story.

We installed Fedora 3 on a new box. Then we installed Apache 2 and
PHP 4.3.9 from the RPMs that came on the CDs. Pretty much everything
works as expected, except the exec() functions do not work in the web
server. There is no error message displayed in the browser or in the
error_log of apache. Here's the script:

<?php
$x = exec("/bin/pwd", $y, $z);
echo "<br>x is "; var_dump( $x );
echo "<br>y is "; var_dump( $y );
echo "<br>z is "; var_dump( $z );
?>

Here is the output:

x is string(0) ""
y is array(0) { }
z is int(127)

If I run the php interpreter from the command line, exec() does work
ok. I can turn safe mode on and define a safe_mode_exec_dir and copy
/bin/pwd to it and then run that and the command line interpreter
honors that setting ok. The web page result doesn't change though. No
error message, no output. Just the 127 (-1?)

So, what do I have to change in my setup to get the exec functions to
work in the web server?

Thanks,

Bill Rausch

My guess it that it is an selinux issue. That stuff is such a mess in
Fedora. Try playing with that.

Bingo. I'd told my staff NOT to install the Selinux stuff so I never
bothered looking for it because I knew it wasn't there. :(

I had my script working beautifully on my box but when transferring to dev server no such luck

Because we have an older version of php on the webservers, I had to get my admin to change the php.ini on the

It seems I'm not able to transfer and use session data from one page to another. I registerd and stored my var in a session variable and can see it on sess_downloads_p2 but then I loose it on p3.

Your script has output on line 5. (it's possible that this is
whitespace character(s) as those count as output as well).

<mr_obvious>You currently are trying to send headers after you already
sent output. This is a problem because PHP thought it already sent all
of the headers, but oops, it didn't!</mr_obvious>

If the output buffering answer doesn't work for you then you should go
back to line 5 and verify / eliminate the output that is produced on
that line.

Or you can move the session_start() and / or other functions that are
sending headers before output on line 5. There's more than one way to
skin this cat.

You can always look into utilizing PEAR::Mail. Once implemented, tt makes
it very easy to switch how you send email out. I recently had to do that
and
it was as easy as doing a global search and replace.

Your next and previous buttons either need to pass where they left off
in the db (either in the query string or by means of a form post), so
that your script will know where to start from.

Since you're already using limit you're doing better than most.

At this point you can do one of two things:

1. When the search is first executed get a count of all available
records and display only the ones you want on your page. On each
subsequent page (next/previous) return, using the LIMIT clause, only
those records you need.

With this technique you'll be able to show the user how many total pages
there are instead of the using guessing as to when they'll reach the end
of their search results. If you don't have a lot of results you might
not care to go this route.

One requirement with this option is that you must pass the total number
of records during each next/previous page transition. This is to tell
the page that you've already done the initial look up.

2. Use the LIMIT clause to return only the records you need.

This is what you seem to be doing already. The only other piece to your
puzzle is to send the starting point for the LIMIT clause on each page
change.

For the first page you probably had "SELECT ... FROM ... LIMIT 0,5".
Considering we're on the first page the "previous" link will not be
clickable since we can't go back any further. However, the "next" link
will pass the value 5 to the page so that the limit clause knows to
start at record 5 on the next pass. i.e. "SELECT ... FROM ... LIMIT
5,5".

So...

Page 0:

previous
<a href="page.php?start=5">next</a>

Page 1:

<a href="page.php?start=0">previous</a>
<a href="page.php?start=10">next</a>

Page 2:

<a href="page.php?start=5">previous</a>
<a href="page.php?start=15">next</a>

etc.

Of course, you'll need to pass all your search criteria (and any other
data you need) within each link as well.

HTH!
Chris.

That's pretty much all you need. Just make sure you enclose the data
you're passing to the database in the proper quotes (either ' or ",
depending on your needs).

INSERT INTO table (v_ship_date)
VALUES ('$v_ship_date');

  well, php doesn't really cares if you got string or bool or integer
  like c or pascal does. php is converting automatically integers to
  strings and so far, you can add your value to the database whithout
  any manual converting...

Hi folks,

Problem is fairly simple, but how can I insert integer in an SQL statement?

So, I only had strings, but now I have introduced a timestamp column (bigint
to cover the milleseconds), and I have the following statement:
$queryInsert = "INSERT INTO mytables (..., timestamp) VALUES ('";
$queryInsert .= ...; // several columns
$queryInsert .= "', '";
$queryInsert .= time() . "')";
$result = mysql_query($queryInsert);

This is not working as time() returns an integer and .= only works with
strings!

How can I cope with that?

Thanks.

Why not use VARCHAR instead? Timestamp doesn't need to be numeric does
it? For sure it's not required to be numeric.

May I suggest the following?

<?php

$timestamp = time();

$queryInsert = <<<QQQ
INSERT INTO mytables
    (columnA
    , columnB
    , ...
    , timestamp)
VALUES
    ('$valueA'
    , '$valueB'
    , ...
    , $timestamp)

QQQ;

?>

Hiya guys,

I need some type of extremely simple (yet intuitive) CVS solution, preferbly
written in PHP. Namely I want to allow fairly unsavvy computer users (lets
say my mom for example) to checkout files of interest, located on some
server, via a web-interface and PHP\MySQL backbone. I really don't want to
write this myself, does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks in advance,

Christian

Horde's Chora. It's not simple to install, nor is it written in a pretty
way, but it works.

cvs.php.net uses the same.

Hello is there any way I can send a table (or just tabulated data) via email.
I've tried this but comes up with an error.
$to = myemailaddress.com;

$re = "Test Email from system";

$msg = "<TABLE BORDER=\"2\"><TR>hello</TR></TABLE>"

mail($to, $re, $msg);

Thanks in advance.

Great thanks! Sorry I didn't realise it was in there.

what I've got so far is the following, I want to include a variable in there
but have tried different combos but can't get it to work reading the
variable.

$to = addadd.me.co.uk

# subject of message
$re = "Test Email from system";
$tablecontent = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN'
'http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd'><html><head><title>Untitled
Document</title></head><body><TABLE><TR><TD>hello</td></TR></TABLE></body></
html>";
#message from the form
$msg = $tablecontent;

$message = '
<html>
<head>
  <title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p>
  <table>
   <tr>
     <th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>
   </tr>
<TR>
<TD>"$username"</TD>
</TR>

  </table>
</body>

Hi,
I am new to session of php. I need pass the form content from the the
first page all the way down to the last page to process it. I used to use
$_POST['sth'] to pass the data, but it is very painful since there are
several pages between the first and last page. I am using $_SESSION['sth']
now. It saves a lot of time, but when I clicked the 'Back' button on the
tool bar, I always got the message "The page cannot be displayed". Can you
help me?

Thank you and regards.

Yes. Use a real browser like Firefox so that you can get real error
messages ;)

Hi,
I have a login script which has worked fine in the past, however i need
to change the IF statement. Basically all i want it to do is verify
that $squadnum variable is inbetween 1-98 or is 99. I'm not even
entirely sure if i need to use the ereg function and i dont think the
"1-98" bit is formatted correctly, any help would be much appreciated.

Heres the code i have so far:

if (ereg("1-98", $squadnum)) { // users with id 1-98 should get sent to
squad page
        header("Location: squad.php");
    } else if(ereg("99", $squadnum)) { // 99 is the id number of the
site administrator
        header("Location: admin.php");
    } else {
        header("Location: login.php");
    }

Thanks, Nick

how about a non regular-expression solution?
if($squadnum > 0 && $squadnum < 99) {
        header('Location: squad.php');
} elseif($squadnum == 99) {
        header('Location: admin.php');
} else {
        header('Location: login.php');
}

Thanks, that seems to have worked.
