sometimes (actually quite often :-) I write some code and it does
something I don't want to happen - then I say 'oops'. in that sense php5 is fully
'oops' compatible.

I believe in Java you have to write everything 3 times. ;-)
also you have a server/application scope which does not exist
in php's share-nothing architecture (well there are ways round that too).

<OT>
actually I read a book last night called 'Anastasia', which tells of the
the latent human ability to instantaneously garner any information you want by
way of dreaming (given certain prerequisites).
the book also says all our technology is primitive, destroying
the planet and making us miserable ... you be the judge!

I guess you would get as many different answers as there are compute
language theoreticians, but I would say that php5 is one fine oop language,
in my taste even more fun than java since it is dynamically typed like
Smalltalk, while java is statically typed.

be giving the OP a problem?

e.g.

...

looking into this a little further I discover the following information
at w3c:
(here: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-name)

ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be
followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"),
underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").

which suggests that even though a < and/or > in a name attribute value
can/does work it might not be a good idea to use it.

That's very true. And I suspect some browsers may not like sending
these characters directly without encoding them first. My point was
simply that PHP doesn't really care and that if the browser manages to
send the POST data with those chars, there is nothing in PHP stopping
them from showing up in the $_POST array. A space or a period get
converted to underscores, but we don't touch < and >

Hi guys.

I'm having some trouble here regarding a project. I have a table with
projects, wich can be recursive (ie. sub-projects) and it is related to
itself.

By making the following query

---------------------8<--------------------------
SELECT * FROM projects LEFT JOIN projects proj_parent ON
projects.project_parent = proj_parent.parent_id WHERE project_id = 1234
---------------------8<--------------------------

i need to be able to access to the parent project's fields, but I have a
slight problem here.

First off, I have to make the LEFT JOIN. I don't know if the project can
be parent (therefore not finding a project_id = 0 wouldn't show the row)
and I need to add some kind of prefix to the proj_parent's fields so
that I can access them (or that they can't overwrite the project i'm
getting info on.

Well... there is an obvious sollution here: use an associative array
instead of an object, and access the properties by doing $array[0],
$array[1], etc. By my experience, this is a nightmare, maintenence-wise,
so I'd only use it as a _LAST_ resource.

Does anyone have any experience with this? The answer should be pretty
obvious, but I can't seem to figure it out :(

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Consider this:
tbl_project(id, name, parent)

            1 6
           / \ / \
          2 3 7 8
         /\
        4 5

if tbl_project.parent = 0 then the project is the "top" parent.
Therefore, 1 and 6 have the field parent = 0.

So, say if you have project 5, do you want to find out its parent (2), or do
you want to find out all its parents including grandparents (2) and (1)?

What do you need to know?

I just need to find it's parent. This is part of a permission system i'm
building, and I need to somewhat register the objects in the permission
system so I can manage things easilly from there.

So to sum it up, this is my attempt to save queries :)

> What do you need to know?

Projects can only be parent or children. No more recursiveness than that
(it's possible, but we've implemented business rules that prevent it.)
What I'm trying to do is to add some sort of prefix to the fields
returned by the proj_parent table (wich is the projects table the same,
but with "different" info, and will overwrite the object's properties).

If not... heck, I'll have to make another query or use the associative
array sollution (wich neither will make me very happy, but that's life).

Thanks for your prompt reply :)

Hello,

Well its simply this:

select b.id
from tbl_project a, tbl_project b
where b.id = a.parent
and a.id = 5

This will return the id of project 5 parent, in this case it is 2.
If the query doesn't return any rows then you know the project doesn't have a
parent.

I cannot test it on MySQL, but this query should work on MSSQL and Oracle.

register objects on a permission system.

The SQL weight is heavy as it is, and I want to save queries as much as

it's parent is not something I'd want to do. I know recursiveness, but
thanks for the pointers and for the reply :)

You're missing the point here. I know how to get the parent project's
info. I know recursiveness. I _JUST_ don't know how to get the current

them because the sql weight is getting pretty heavy).

I must admit I still don't really get what you are looking for. Does this
query help?

select c.field1 AS childfield1,
c.field2 AS childfield2,
(etc)
p.field1 AS parentfield1,
p.field2 AS parentfield2,
(etc)
FROM
child AS c
LEFT JOIN
parent AS p
ON c.parent=p.id

Yeah, that might do, thanks!

attached mail follows:

Yeah I understand what he wants, but the problem boils down to the project
with no parent.

The only thing I can suggest is if you have a dummy row in, so the "top"
parent row, (1) or (6) in my example with have the dummy as its parent.

Then using:

select b.id parentID, b.name parentName, a.id childID, b.name childName
from tbl_project a, tbl_project b
where b.id = a.parent
and a.id = 1

Should give a row of:

ParentID: 0
ParentName: Dummy
ChildID: 1
ChildName: Project One

So, if a Project has a parent that the name is called Dummy, then you know it
doesn't have a parent.

You shouldn't need to worry about this -- PHP tries to take care of it for
you. When you copy an array value, PHP only does a "shallow" copy (of the
array's address); if you later modify the array, this triggers a full "deep"
copy of all the array's element values before the modification is done.

Why? Some of us just strongly prefer the breaking in and out style -- I use
it almost exclusively. In my 10,000s of lines of code, you can probably
count the number of echos on your fingers!

Absolute rubbish -- whatever gives you this idea? The sequence

?>x<?php

Is functionally identical to

echo 'x';

so anything that works with the latter will work identically with the
former.

Cheers!

I disagree with both statements. Echoing and breaking out of PHP are
typically both undesirable in large applications where you may wish to
change headers. Capture your output into a variable and send it to
output once all processing is done. This may be done using output
buffering or other techniques.

This is a javascript question, not a PHP one. You will need to google
for a javascript snippet that changes the background of table cells.

Google 'javascript table dom'

Try doing some benchmarks using microtime(). My gut reaction is that
there shouldn't be any difference; heredoc syntax is simply another form
of quoting strings.

The other factor to consider is if a few microseconds more of processing
time is worth the extra programming time it takes to get quotes right
(assuming heredoc syntax *does* take longer). I personally prefer
heredocs when using long, multiline strings to using double quotes --
they're easier to maintain.

I had forgotten the "heredoc" name for that sintax style. I'll do some
benchmarking. My reaction is the same, and even as there just one
asignment, I guess the operation is faster....

However I want to write a php script that I can hit the url/page of

Hi,

My main site allows authenticated users to insert bibliographic data into
our database. We ask them to start by putting in an ISBN or ISSN. Some
documentes don't have them, or the use is too lazy to look for them. Rather
than them entering jibberish, we first check that if they have entered
something - that its mathematically correct (there's a algorithm to check
these).

Where they don't know the ISBN/ISSN, I would like them to enter their
document title and then get my system to check the UK's main library biblio
service (COPAC) and see if the title exists on their db. I've set up a
simple cURL test which queries the COPAC site and displays the page as if it
was from my site (not quite what I wanted - I'd rather have a list of
ISBN/ISSNs and their associated titles without all the baggage).

So my questions are:

Is there a way for me to (using cURL) ask COPAC how many records match the
search and if >0, return the data in a way that I can use it as I wish?

If not, is there another tool that I should be using?

cURL is a tool for retrieving a resource from a URL....

so the question does COPAC offer a 'webservice' that returns 'raw' data?
this has nothing to do with cURL at all, you can view cURL (although it a
simplistic view as a webbrowser that you scripts can use)

COPAC may or may noy offer a handy webservice, and it may be subscription
based.

>
> If not, is there another tool that I should be using?

probably the most powerful one you have, its between your ears and pisses
over every other tool at your disposal :-)

- chances are you are going to have to use cURL to return the relevant
page to you script and then _parse_ the returned (x)HTML in order to determine
what (if any relevant data was returned in the page) - such 'parsing' is often
called screen-scraping .... probably you want to make use of either the
preg_*() functions, the DOM extension (DOMXML extension if using php4)
or SimpleXML extension in order to fish out the relevant data.

If you do end up having to scrape out the data yourself you might consider
sharing your code on hotscripts.com, phpclasses.org or whatever to save someone
else the time to reinvent the wheel .. actually why not search some of the php
related sites for code that does what you want - chances are someone has had to do
this before.

the list doesn't give a **** who sends the mail AFAICT, also if the mail you send

oh and the way you describe it it _was_ intentional - you couldn't be bothered to
'find' your php-general address so you replied to an existing thread and changed the
subject.

not exactly a big deal though :-)

Maybe you should be looking at the YAZ (Z39.50) extension? See
http://pecl.php.net/package/yaz and http://indexdata.dk/phpyaz/. I don't
know off the top of my head whether COPAC supports Z39.50, but it seems
likely. Failing that, I'm absolutely sure the British Library has a Z39.50
server.

Hi all,
Iam running PHP on THTTPD 2.21b

I have a simple php script that sets the system clock (using exec("date -s MMDDhhmmYYYY.ss") and returns a page showing the system time

when i use it to set the time forwards, it works fine
but if i use it and set the time backwards (even a few seconds), the webserver hangs. also it hangs only for exactly the amount of time needed for the backwards-set time to catch up with the original time. when the clock catches up with the original time, the page is returned. till then it hangs

it's almost as if the webserver is waiting for the time to come back to the request-received time before sending the page.

i dont know if this is a php problem or a thttpd problem. any pointers, please ?

Regards,
Vinoo

Hi Rasmus,

This may be a little bit long, sorry for taking your time.

It still does not work as expected. I tried some experiment, and found that
if I called some function or write some code line other then calling
header(), the register_shutdown_function and other part of codes work as
expected . For example:
<?php
set_time_limit(5);
function f(){
set_time_limit(10);
//doing something time consuming
}

some_function();

?>
The time limit of 5 will be the limit of the some_function() and the 10 will
be the limit of function f() respectively.

Code example:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
set_time_limit(1);
ignore_user_abort(true);

function say_goodbye() {
        $st = connection_status();
        print "Status 1: ".$st."\n";
        set_time_limit(10);
        $st = connection_status();
        print "Status 2: ".$st."\n";

        $count=20000000;
        for($i=0; $i<$count; $i++){ }
            print "End!\n";
            exec("touch /home/.nappy/liang/liang.ns2user.info/php/bbb");
    }

register_shutdown_function("say_goodbye");
print "Sleeping...\n";

$count=10000000;
for($i=0; $i<$count; $i++){ }

print "Done!\n";

?>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-bash-2.05b$ curl -N liang.ns2user.info/php/v.php
Sleeping...
<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>: Maximum execution time of 1 second exceeded in
<b>/home/.nappy/liang/liang.ns2user.info/php/v.php</b> on line <b>30</b><br
/>
Status 1: 2
Status 2: 2
End!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
if I change the time limit from 10 to 5 in function f()

-bash-2.05b$ curl -N liang.ns2user.info/php/v.php
Sleeping...
<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>: Maximum execution time of 1 second exceeded in
<b>/home/.nappy/liang/liang.ns2user.info/php/v.php</b> on line <b>30</b><br
/>
Status 1: 2
Status 2: 2
<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>: Maximum execution time of 5 seconds exceeded in
<b>/home/.nappy/liang/liang.ns2user.info/php/v.php</b> on line <b>14</b><br
/>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Change both the time limit to 10 will result:

-bash-2.05b$ curl -N liang.ns2user.info/php/v.php
Sleeping...
Done!

Status 1: 0
Status 2: 0
End!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But if the some_function is header() then the rule above does not work. It
seems the function f()'s time limit also rule the header(). Only after the
registered shutdown function finishes runing normally or by hit the expire
time limit, will the header() return page to browser/http user agent.
Example code with suggestion from Rasmus as:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php

set_time_limit(5);

function f(){
set_time_limit(100);
$count=500000000;
for($i=0; $i<$count; $i++){
//sit here and loop for a bit so we can have time to hit Stop...
echo "a \n"; flush();
}
echo "end";
exec("touch /tmp/aaa");
}

register_shutdown_function('f');

ignore_user_abort(true);
header("Content-type: text/plain");
header("Location: y.html");

echo "foo\n"; flush();
for($i=0;$i<10;$i++) { echo $i; sleep(1); }
$fp = fopen("/tmp/foo.txt","a");
fputs($fp,$i);
fclose($fp);
?>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the file /tmp/foo.txt has been created, before the file /tmp/aaa being
created, the y.html will not get to the browser or perl program using
LWP::UserAgent. I think it is no way to close the connection actively by the
php program to deliver the page sooner to end the http request, even I add
lines and make code like this does not work:

----------------------------------------------------------------
header("Content-type: text/plain");
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache");
header("Location: y.html");
header("Connection: close");
----------------------------------------------------------------

My project act as a broker for user agent to a library database server
called z39.50. Upon the request from user agent, my program need to connect
a z39.50 server, getting data back 1 by 1, transforming to sepcial xml
format and sending back to the request party. When the data repository is
huge (sometimes up to million records), I have to get partial data transform
and send back to user agent (normally a piece of perl code, called
harvester) with a resumption token. The harvester will in a while loop send
out another http request with the last resumption token and fetch data of
next part, until finish all data fetching. The time to connect the database
and do the query is a constant overhead. So it is not a good design that
program need to connect the database and query upon each request with or
with out resumption token. So my design is to connect to database and query
only when the first initial request comes, and reponse back with partical
data using header() and continue getting back data from z39 server. Upon
next request, the program will only need to make sure the data needed has
already stored in the harddrive and transform them and send them back.
Since the user harvester agent normally has a 180 second timeout, it is
necessary to respond within that period of time.

I really need your suggestion. Thank you very much again.

Hi,

I have Apache 2.0.52 with PHP 4.3.9, running on a Linux Fedora 3, and cannot
write through PHP on any folder, except for /tmp.
No matter which permissions, owner or group are set for the folders or files,
they never become writable.

When I execute the following script, I have always obtain as a result, that "The
file is not writable", although it should be, because test.txt has Apache as its
owner and group, and permissions for reading, writing and executing for the
owner, group and others.

In Apache, the user and group are set to Apache, and in PHP the safe mode is off.

Hey!
I presently require hosting with a company that has their servers in Sweden,
and I need a shared hosting account,
any recommendations are welcome, the server is for a client.

I have found quire a few via google but I noticed most of them are with
Safemode ON and Register_globals ON
which I find to be quite strange because I have always hosted on a "regular"
server with safe mode off, register_
globals does not really metter, as if it was off I didnt do anything but if
it was on I used a htaccess file to put the
b**ch off :-)

I have done a little reading on Safe Mode, but I'm looking for _your_
experiences with safe mode and the problems
you have faced or/and any warnings for me. Will continue to read and search
via google while i wait for your answer/s.

OT->Another difference I have noticed with Swedish hosts and American hosts
is...more than 50% of the hosts here
are offering _no_ limit to traffic!! (As long as you are not offering music,
movies,porn or torrent trackers on the site)

Thanks,
Ryan

Hello everyone,

What I want to do is have a form (which is already created) where the user selects (via checkbox) on an item or group of items (almost like a shopping cart). These items are stored in a MySql database and the program was written in PHP. So far I have created an insert form that inserts the products into a database. The database is displayed in a form where the user now needs to click on the select box so that he/she can choose their items. Once they have chosen the items a confirmation page is supposed to come out with the user's choices and the user will confirm that this is correct or not and either click submit or go back to choose again. If they click submit than I am supposed to receive an email with all of the user's choices. The part I am still stuck in is when the user attempts to choose, nothing really happens. Following is the code that displays the database and allows the user to choose via the check box....Any help would be appreciated.

<?php require_once('Connections/connBlog.php'); ?>
<?php
mysql_select_db($database_connBlog, $connBlog);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM ebay_products";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $connBlog) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);

PHP 5.1 doesn't seem to like Log4PHPs use of the reference operator. I'm
not sure if they're related
though. I took all the offending reference operators out of Log4PHP which
got rid of the notices. Now
it just with that one enigmatic error "default 16".

To expand a little: Zend Client is super for debugging on a localhost
but if you want a team of developers to have debug / profile tools then
Zend Studio Server is the tool. I would suggest that you apply for the
Zend Small Business program if these tools meet your needs for one low
yearly price you get both plus the encoder and the server module to
handle deployments, or testing... I hope this is helpful.

This is with simplexml_load_file(). Using an empty()

ah simplexml, in that case is_array() shouldn't and won't
work because it's 'all' objects (although I can understand why it seems
like it should work!) - but the objects allow array(-like) iteration
of contained elements.

read this again very carefully:
http://be2.php.net/simplexml

note also that even values are actually objects that implement
the __toString() interface (although I'm not sure that is the
correct way to explain/name it) where by the object is automatically
cast to a string in a sensible way when used with echo/print ...
as the exmaples on the simplexml page show you have to cast manually
if you want to do other things with the string representation (like
using the actually value of the object as the test value of a switch
block.

here is some more reading material:
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2004/01/15/simplexml.html

good luck

Hello,

following code won't work in the expected way:

class ClassA {
   function getClassName() {
     return get_class($this); # [1]
   }
}
class ClassB extends ClassA { }
echo ClassB::getClassName();

this script echoes "Object" instead of "ClassB". but i would like to
return the classname of the derived class without writing the method again.

this will work:

B = new ClassB();
echo ClassB->getClassName();

i tried to use line [2] instead of [1]
return get_class(self); # [2]
but this only returns an empty string.

is there any solution for my problem?

i'm using PHP Version 5.0.3 (with Apache 1, Windows XP)

"The double colon, is a token that allows access to static, constant,
and overridden members or methods of a class."

Of which none of yours are (at least not in the code posted)

Wouldn't get_parent_class() work in this situation?

Best regards,

either you tested some different code to what you posted above OR
(your build of?) 5.0.3 is borked.

I tested this on 5.0.2 and 5.0.4 and both did exactly what I expected, namely
output nothing - $this is not defined when you call ClassB::getClassName()
(because you make a static call) so nothing is the only logical output.

??? it's not even valid php.

maybe you mean:

class ClassA {function getClassName() { return get_class($this); }}
class ClassB extends ClassA {}
$B = new ClassB();
echo $B->getClassName();

which _does_ work but is fairly pointless because you
already know the classname in order to be able to create the object
in the first place.

again this is what I expect to happen.

I don't really see what the problem is, can you give some
more real world detail on what you are trying/want to do?

otherwise (re-)read this chapter:
http://php.belnet.be/manual/en/language.oop5.php

... if you're _really_ into generic code then the reflection API
is maybe you should look into. I have used reflection no and again,
very useful stuff although to be honest I don't really grasp the
concept/reasoning behind reflection properly (which means I have probably
been 'misusing' it :-)
