Hi Chris,
As I read in the documentation it only takes the content of the file. If
there is a script in the file I want that to be fun first. A file like this:
----------
HTLM content
<?php echo 'Hello World'; ?>
HTML content
----------
I want the result from my function to be
----------
HTLM content
Hello World
HTML content
----------
The file_get_contents('file.html') will give me

HTLM content
<?php echo 'Hello World'; ?>
HTML content

Or am I not correct?

Hi Peter,
Ah, I understand now.
If the file echo'ed it's output you could do:
ob_start();
include('file.php');
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
or:
$output = exec('script.php');
(but make sure you use escapeshellarg &/or escapeshellcmd where
applicable for security reasons).
first method would be better, more robust and more portable.

I have used output buffering[1] in the past to do what you are
describing.
<snip>
# HTML to be written:
ob_start(); // Begin output buffering:
require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$path.'/
'.$name_of_template.$name_of_template_ext);
$message = ob_get_contents(); // Put contents of the above require
into $message.
ob_end_clean(); // Clean the output buffer.
</snip>
Probably better ways to do above, but maybe that will help you in some
way.
Oh, you may also want to look into the eval() function[2].

Yes you are correct.
Why don't you include the file? PHP will parse the PHP inside it and output
the HTML...
If you want to get the contents into a variable then do something like:
<?
ob_start();
include("file.html");
$fileContent = ob_get_contents();
ob_clean();
?>

Angelo Christou <christou44yahoo.com> wrote: Hello List
I would like some advice from PHP users regarding PHP and the command line. I have a PHP script that does a whole bunch of stuff to a file on my intranet.
./edit.php filename var1 var2
Everything works fine but I need to run it on a list of files -
./edit.php invoice00212.txt var1 var2
./edit.php invoice00213.txt var1 var2
./edit.php invoice00214.txt var1 var2
I have a list of several thousand files that will change every month. The list has the filenames and variables, like this so I am half way there I think -
invoice00212.txt var1 var2
invoice00213.txt var1 var2
invoice00214.txt var1 var2
My question is how should I incorporate this with my PHP script?
I read that it's better to split scripts up into small reusable parts so my plan is to keep the logic out of the edit.php script and simply pass the variables to it using another script. Am I on the right path doing this?
I am only a beginner with PHP so I admit I don’t really know what I’m doing, that is why I am asking for pointers from the PHP Mail List :)
Below is my model, however I am unsure how to achieve this or even if it's the best way to do it?
open filelist.txt
for each line create $filename $var1 $var2
then run
./edit.php $filename $var1 $var2
loop back to the next line
end
Many thanks in advance,

I'm developing a web interface for server admin in php, but the bos has

posible to create a consol app in php ? My original idea was to have a
couple of files that the web interface would you to stor the settings and
generate the configs, but now i have to rethink my planning because of the
consol interface. Would you have any sugestions on how to keep consistancy
between the 2 interfaces configurations ie. if the config is changed at the
consol it should be reflected on the web interfact..

Hi Gregory,
this is quite a problem because you actually don't have real time output
and input on your browser.
You could execute simple shell commands with the exec function
http://de2.php.net/exec
But any more complicated will be a hard run.
You would have to get the output and let somone add in the next command.
Then the page reloads with the output you got already and so on.
This might probably work, but PHP is surely not designed for things like
that.
I would say that it would be much easier to code something in JAVA then
trying to accomplish that in PHP.

your boss has just (theoretically) doubled the ammount of work you have to do,
a cmdline interface is not something you bolt on as an after thought! it's
just as much an interface (with all the potential hard work it takes to get
it working properly) as an application webpage.

use a single config file (use a ini type file?) or maybe a DB. just make
sure you have some kind of update locking (check out the flock() function for

I don't think the real-time (on the cmdline) versus browser-time intertaction
is an issue. especially if you consider that you could write the cmdline interface
in the same way as the PEAR command works. the pear command is an executable php
script that excepts many, many commands (relevant to PEAR isntall/repository management)
which is called from your shell, e.g.:
?> pear install apc
a normally SSH connection to the box gives access - rather than a direct connection to
a port that hosts the cmdline application (or course its quite possible to write a php
cmdline app. that runs as a telnet-like deamon, but personally I'd keep it simple
and write a php shell script for which you need to SSH into the relevant box to
use the script/tool.

so write an underlying module that takes care of reading and writing
ini settings.

$_SERVER is an array. and also a variable. we can be sure
it exists if we are running a webserver php module, so we don't need
to test if it's set or not BUT the index of the array pointed to
by 'SCRIPT_FILENAME' does not necessarily exist so
(the contents of the $_SERVER is different from server to server)...
$filename = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
if (!$filename) {
die('yuck!');
}
or something like:
if (!isset($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) {
die('yuck!');
} else {
$filename = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
}
to see what's in $_SERVER do something like:
ecoh '<pre>'; // this line assumes you are viewing the output via a webbrowser!
print_r($_SERVER);

From the PHP Documentation:
"$_SERVER is an array containing information such as headers, paths, and
script locations. The entries in this array are created by the webserver.
There is no guarantee that every webserver will provide any of these;
servers may omit some, or provide others not listed here. That said, a large
number of these variables are accounted for in the » CGI 1.1 specification,
so you should be able to expect those. "
If you are executing a script on the command line it will not exist.
Try using argc and argv for that. The filename is typically argv[0].
isset($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) will return true if the index exist.

Call serialize() when saving the array to the file and unserialize() to read
it back

serialize() and alternatively if you find it handy to be able to
manually read the contents of the array written to the file there is also
var_export() which can return valid php code in a readable form.

other than the stuff on php.net (no comparison tables exactly)
not really - plenty of people on this list that will help you if you
run into problems.
sidenote: the reference related fixes introduced into php4.4 (and php5+)
can be a PITA, avoid using references unless you..
a, really know what you are doing.
b, you really need a reference.
...objects in php5 don't need to be passed around by reference - in fact
I suggest the first thing you do when updating your code is to remove
reference syntax related to passing around objects :-)

I have been playing with pcntl_fork and became completely stuck trying

I'll have to use something like shmop so each child knows what row its

how much memory do you have set as the max?
do you have control over this value? (i.e. is it not locked down by an admin)
what are you doing with each row? (I imagine that effectively you
only need on row in memory at a time - in which case the memory requirements are
probably quite conservative)
show us your code if you can :-)

it may offer one suitable solution. but I would suggest looking at your
code again before adding another level of complexity that may not bee needed
(I would suggest that forking would be a good idea to improve the performance
by allowing parallel processing but not to fix a crash perse)

I doubt you need shmop given that each child gets a complete copy of the
parent processes address space (i.e. all variables, etc that were defined in the
parent process will also be available in each child process)
there are some examples in the user comments on this page:

From each row, I determine what XML files to fetch and parse... the
parser then inserts them into SQL.
This is really the second part of the parsing, the first pass fetches
the concerned table as XML and parses it.
Each XML file I fetch can be between 15-50 rows.

It came down to my code I think... wasn't using it appropriately. I read
the post 'pcntl functions and database' from this list a few days ago,
and it had a good example... so far I've come up with:
<?
require_once('../private/sql.php');
$pgconnectstring='dbname=' . returndbname() . ' user=' . returndbuser()
. ' password=' . returndbpass() . ' host=redback.10mbit.biz';
$database = pg_connect($pgconnectstring);
$query = "SELECT count(key) AS count FROM tvguide_channels WHERE
crawl=true;";
$result = pg_query($database,$query);
$row = pg_fetch_object($result,0);
$childcount = 0;
$childrencount = $row->count;
while($childcount < $childrencount) {
$pid = pcntl_fork();
if ( $pid == -1 ) {
die("Unable to fork\n");
} elseif ($pid == 0) {
$childcount++;
pcntl_wait($status);
continue;
} else {
echo $childcount ." ". posix_getpid() ." ". posix_getppid() ."\n";
exit();
}
}
?>
Each fork seems to be able to see the value of $childcount... so I just
need to create a function to work with a particular row. Having a
counter is precisely what I needed as I can then use
pg_fetch_object($result,$childcount)

should be enough. :-)
just to give it perspective I have a text file I
import on at least a weekly basis (someone else does it actually but
i wrote the code) that contains 500,000+ lines representing
customers each of which is imported/updated into firebird DB
(mostly not as fast as mysql) using a transaction. the code works and only
chews up about 100Mbs (which is mostly due to the garbage collector not
being able to release memory belonging to objects that have circular
references)

I get the feeling you should be unsetting variables more actively inside
your loops. also avoid objects (specifically/especially ones with circular
'references'** - i.e. parent<-->child type 'references'**)
** - I use 'references' to mean in the general english language
sense not in the php sense. although if you're using php4 then most probably
your object variables should actually be php-references!

Without using a regexp, you could do:
<code>
$string = 'a,b,c,d';
$letters = explode(',', $string);
$last_letter = array_pop($letters);
$final_string = implode(',', $letters) . ' and ' . $last_letter;
</code>
Not very efficient - but should work...

Try this:
$pattern= "%,([\w\.]+)$%"; //put any line ending punctuation in the []
$replace= " and $1"; //may need $replace= " and " . $1;
$string= preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $string);

Hi all
I'd like to ask you one ( probably ) simple question. I'm using webmail
and I want to use other than default php grey button.
I found on the pages how to use image instead of the default button. So
I changed
INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="move_button" VALUE="Move"
to
INPUT TYPE="image'" NAME="move_button" VALUE="Move"
SRC="../images/button.jpg" width="19" height="50"
It works but I found the other important problem. This is image. What
happend when I change the language ? Nothing cause this is permanent
image and text "Move" is replaced by image
So what should I do to change design of the button without using image ?
Thanks a lot for an answers

You can also change the image with PHP depending on the user connecting
or which language he/she has chosen.
But for that you would have to create an image for each language.
I also think CSS will be the easiest solution.

Good luck!

I would hesitate to add he needs to investigate how to ask
decent questions. (Peter your question lacks context, useful details,
a clear problem/question and a direct relevance to php)
and given the statement "default php grey button" I get
the impression that Peter doesn't really know what php or html
is; 'webmail' is a concept not an implementation.
I'm guessing Peter is trying to figure out how to change a
button in such a way that the button is/remains locale aware (i.e.
'Move' becomes something else when you change languages in the app
from english to something else)
so what's Peter using for his webmail? squirrelMail? or Horde's IMP?
or something else?

You're right, I know how to change bgcolor in html or set something like
this.
I'm using Squirrelmail and I need to change its layout. I set some
backgrounds color, fonts and this elemtary things.
I need to change design of buttons. All I need is some clear example and
I will adapt it

So you're saying that these 'buttons' aren't images created by php?
Then I'm guessing your question has nothing to do with php. Try a
html/css mailing list, or there is that little helper web site out there...

Dear Jochem
.
I know that I'm probably out of this mailing list.
I did almost everything , just buttons remains. I looked at the scripts,
it is php and I tried to change something but unsuccesfull.
Therefore I wrote to this mailing list, cause I thought this is matter
of php
I visited http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/CustomizingSquirrelMail but
it is not enough for me it is about colors, fonts and so on.

Nah found a solution ^^
My regular expression is as follows: ereg_replace
(",([[:alnum:][:space:]]*)$"," and \\1",$string)
Thanks for the help =)
Note: that expression does not work with string who have other signs
than "," in it e.g. "!" or "?".
