Satyam,

I don't see any "innerHTML" or "outerHTML" in relation to PHP DOM. I'm
familiar
with them from a Javascript standpoint, but no references when it comes to PHP
DOM.

Sorry, I immediatly thought about the client side.

No, I don't know there is any way on the server side with PHP.

Now that you have the element, why not just call:
$doc->saveXML($node);

Rob,

I wasn't aware that that would work. I mean I suppose it should, but
basically
this is what I'm doing:

1) Create a new DOMDocument
2) DOMDocument->loadHTML()
3) find the elements I want with getElementsByTag() then finding the one with
the correct attributes

. . .at this point, I need the equivalent of DOMDocument->saveHTML() so
that it
outputs the *exact* html content. Are you saying that saveXML() will
do what I
want it to do; tags and all?

Mike

It is the best option, though in reality there may not be a way to do
this exactly as you want due to HTML not having to be valid XML. By
exact, unless the input is valid XHTML, loadHTML is going to cause the
HTML to be fiexed to be proper XML, so using $doc->saveXML($node) you
will get the serialized of the element as it was created when loading
the HTML (this includes any "fixes" the parser may have made.

You'd probably have better luck using PHP+PDF Generation Classes of some
sort if you need precision layouts for printing... With HTML+CSS it will
still vary depending on the render used...

Not a bad idea. But is there free PHP class to do it?

Hi:

 From my old days working with a vertical-mill, precision means to
produce the same product repeatedly within tolerance, while accuracy
means to hit the mark (i.e., how close you can get to the desired
measurement).

If you want the same document to be printed with precision
repeatedly, then use anything. The end result may not be what you
want, but the document will look the same each time it's printed from
the same environment.

However, if you want the document to look a specific way (i.e., pixel
perfect), then accuracy is what you're after.

If I had a client who wanted me to produce a document that would
match his specifications accurately, then I would create PDF
documents. DPF documents can be created and printed with accuracy
across different platforms.

For example, this --

http://xn--ovg.com/pdf

-- should print the same (accurately) regardless of what platform the
user has. The precision value of this would lie in the tolerance of
the printer and we don't have any control over that.

To start with, I would avoid pre-printed forms it at all possible. The best
option is to design the 'pre-printed' part as a pdf file and then add the
variable parts and print the whole in plain white paper or with a continuous
security background.

PDF is the best solution either way, but anyhow, there are technical and
mechanical problems.
If the printers are single-sheet and they are all the same mode, it is
relatively easy, a few trials will get everything going fine.

If they are different models, each model has different printable areas so
the setup for one is not useful in the next. You will either have to have a
table of settings for each printer model or a separate CSS for each model
and a table of printers with which printer is what model and use the table
settings or the customized CSS for that model.

Also, with HTML + CSS printing, you have the problem that browsers reserve a
space for header and footer on each page and that is not standardized so the
printing area, as defined by the printer model, will be further reduced in
different degrees by the browser.

Another alternative is to have a print trial page available so that if the
client changes printer or notices it is printing off key, they can print the
trial page which won't contain actual data but a grid that the client can
use to align the following printouts. Much like one of those forms ink-jet
printers print when you change cartridges, you would have to provide a scale
relative to some visible line in the pre-printed so that the user enters the
two grid values that best fit the form, you store them in the profile for
that client/printer combination and use it on further printouts.

If the printer to be used are dot-matrix, such as if the form has to be
printed with carbon copies, then you have the further problem that Windows
programs would switch the printer to graphics mode, which slows them to a
crawl. Most pre-printed forms are designed for standard pitches of 6 or 8
lines per inch. Graphics environments let you get out of that grid, but it
slows everything. Using the normal print mode of the printer makes
everything easier since the forms are designed for the printer pitch so once
you get the first line going, all the rest of the page follows.
Unfortunately there is no way, from a normal application in a graphics
environment such as Windows, to use a purely character by character printer,
unless you do an ActiveX control and communicate with the printer via the
serial port.

Many alternatives, no easy solution (except for droping the pre-printed
forms)

The problem of wordbadwordword is not solvable unless you have a
dictionary of acceptable words as well. For example, words like
"assumption" and "hellacious" would be problematic.

Furthermore, there are words that are perfectly acceptable, but their
meanings differ in context, like "screw". So you would need a context
checker, which presents its own problems.

This website answered a lot of my questions about the same situation. I
tested it on my development environment, and it worked just fine.

I didn't recognize this until after I sent the email, but the article was
written by Chris Shiflett, so I thought I'd give him credit. Excellent as
always :)

Yes. Your remotely hosted code would call the database on your local
server. Something like:

<? $link = mysql_connect("foo.com", "bar", "PASSWORD"); ?>

You would also need to allow the connection from the remote host in mysql.

mysql> GRANT ALL ON foo.* TO bar'202.54.10.20' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';

Then you need to open the mysql port on your router to point to your
database server. I believe the default port is 3306.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [PHP] security include from remote server

        Hi,

        Heres a simple problem:

        I am doing a php+mysql website at my office, hosted locally but open

to the web, but i wouldnt like to host my files on our office server.
I could host them somewhere else but our mysql database cant be
accessed from the outside, only from our server.
        I thought about having a simple php local file that would include my

files that are hosted someplace else, and therefor be able to access
my local database, would that be possible? My first thought would
probably be no, but i cant really do any tests right now, thats why i
am asking you guys.
        If my solution is not viable, is there any other way of hosting my
files someplace else, but still access the local database?

        (also thought of using zend guard to protect my code, but that would

imply an install on our office server, which is out of the question)

        Thanks.

If you don't want to expose your database directly to the internet, you
could have a PHP intermediary service - your local code could be limited
to one PHP script that would enforce HTTP authentication (over https to
maintain security), and could forward SQL queries and responses from the
database. Your remote code could call the local intermediary service.

I personally don't understand why you'd need to store code remotely but
execute it locally, unless you're concerned about the office "stealing"
your code, or using it without permission...If you aren't concerned
about code theft, there are lots of ways you could store code remotely,
e.g. a very raw/simple/uncomplicated/ugly:

$src = file_get_contents('http://server/code.php.txt');
file_put_contents('/tmp/code.php',$src);
include('/tmp/code.php');
unlink('/tmp/code.php');

But there are at least a few reasons why I wouldn't recommend doing that...

It's posible (depending on the php.ini configuration), but very insecure.

Hi,

just for fun I tried the following code:

<code>
for($letter = 'A'; $letter <= 'Z'; ++$letter) {
        echo($letter . ' ');
}
</code>

What surprised me was the output, which looked like this:

A B C [...] Y Z AA AB AC [...] YY YZ

I don't have any idea how these letters get printed out, so I'd
appreciate any guesses or explanations.

thanks,
Norbert

Read the manual and search the archives, this was beaten to a bloody
pulp several months ago. (Hint: this DOESN'T work like ascii in C).

Cheers,
Rob.

This was discussed a lot a couple months back (Rasmus answered it about
20 times). This is my rendition.

When you increment a string, you get:

'A' + 1 is 'B'
...
'Z' + 1 is 'AA'

Because of how string comparisons go, 'AA' is greater than 'Z' (strings
are compared letter by letter), so the loop won't terminate at 'Z', like
you'd expect.

This topic was discussed at quite some length before, and Rasmus helped us all
understand it. The reason that happens is the next "letter" after Z is AZ,
which alphabetically is less than Z. You could change your statement to use
$letter < 'AZ'. I think that would work.

I was typing up my response before yours came in... looks like I made the

Thanks for all your replies and sorry about asking a question answered
in the manual. I was too surprised of the result, so I didn't even think
I could find that topic in the manual. Sorry.

Hi Christopher: this is just a simplified code, I use it to generate some
xml file, no loop is present.

Try it as it is: you will find that two files will be generated while it
should be only one.
If you remove 'session_start()' then only one file will be generated: that's
correct!

Yes, I believe you need to elaborate more on your objectives for the
code and what exactly you mean by the file being written twice. From the
code snippet above, it seems as though you are just going to overwrite a
file and destroy it's contents, not write to it twice.

This isn't being called from any sort of loop, is it?
