thanks a lot.
I also find that i can setup it directly to DB thanks to alter command.
I was thinking that maybe PHP had a special command for that, but it seems
not.

Hi all
I am novice in XML. I have just started to creating PHP parser for XML
files. I am using SAX.
the file is : -

The text editor typically isn't the only client that needs to display
the source code. Various web-based tools such as ViewVC depend on the
way their clients interpret the HTML and/or CSS, patches in emails are
displayed by different MUAs, there's print...
With spaces, the sole configuration one needs to assume from the
client(s) is proper display of a monospaced font, and that's much more
reliable than praying for a uniform tab display. Twice so if you choose
to use ts=4 because most software (at least out of the set I use) places
tabstops at 8-char intervals.

That seems inconsistent with your tab/space-based dismissal of the ZF CS.

I agree.
Plus, not everyone see's code the same -- some of us have vision
issues, some are dyslexic, some are both. I write and organize code
so that I can understand and use it. I would not function well in a
strict "follow my way of coding" environment.

I've been a proponent of style sheets for coding ever since I heard of css.

That's what the extract_type and prefix parameters are for.
Although I wouldn't use extract() either, as I'd just address the array elements directly using a full set of subscripts.

Except now you have a syntax error, as you've failed to notice (as did several others) that the \' in the original string is to escape the ' for PHP because the whole pattern string itself is single quoted.

So the syntactically-correct simple version of this is '/[A_Z0-9\'.&_-]/i'.

What rot, this is a perfectly valid piece of PHP code in which the === will return TRUE if $a does not contain the string 'abc' (and so execute the die()):
if (strpos($a, 'abc')===FALSE):
die('Invalid string');
endif;

No of course not -- why in the world would you do that when TRUE is not one of the documented return values of strpos()??
Sorry, but I think you're still missing the essential point, which is that the opposite of testing for !==FALSE is *not* ===TRUE, but ===FALSE -- in other words, !($x!==FALSE) is the same as ($x===FALSE), or in other other words you invert *only* the *test*, not the *operand*. And it's like this because === and !==, unlike == and !=, do not coerce their operands to Boolean, so something that is !==FALSE is not *necessarily* ===TRUE (although it *is* necessarily ==TRUE).
Cheers!

have you noticed that you could have written the form by hand about 3 times
in the time it's taken to get as far as you have with 'QuickForm'? with the
added bonus that the code is much more readable/manageable and the html output
is actually controllable (i.e. you don't have to wave dead chickens about
get rid of ordered lists...
if you ask me QuickForm is the product of some clever and very sadistic coders...
right now you are their b****. ;-)
you best bet is something like this:
find / -name '*QuickForm*' -exec rm -rf \{\};
(if you run that cmdline without know what it does then you deserve to experience
the resulting horror)

Hey guys,
Someone had asked about how to "output an mp3 file"...
> readfile(), depending on your PHP version, is going to suck in the whole
MP3 before it starts spewing out bytes.
I have had this function in my library for quite some time now, can't
remember where I got it but it's proven very useful if you want to have a
user download a large file without giving a direct link to the file. This
function will only use up 1K of memory no matter how big the file is.
Enjoy!
function readfile_chunked($filename,$retbytes=true) {
$chunksize = 1*(1024*1024); // how many bytes per chunk
$buffer = '';
$cnt =0;
$handle = fopen($filename, 'rb');
if ($handle === false) {
return false;
}
while (!feof($handle)) {
$buffer = fread($handle, $chunksize);
echo $buffer;
ob_flush();
flush();
if ($retbytes) {
$cnt += strlen($buffer);
}
}
$status = fclose($handle);
if ($retbytes && $status) {
return $cnt; // return num. bytes delivered like readfile() does.
}
return $status;
}

Actually, I couldn't get any string-replacement techniques to work. None of
them seemed to properly catch the characters involved, either in this PHP app
or in a Perl app I was working on personally at the same time by coincidence.
However, I discovered that at least part of the problem is at the HTTP level.
It seems like the data was being corrupted before it even got to the server.
Although we already had the Content type charset set to UTF-8 in the HTTP
header, the browser (IE, Firefox, and Konqueror) was still defaulting to
Latin1/Western, and I believe then *sending* data as that. When we set a
<meta> tag to also set the content type and charset, however, the browser
(all of them) switched into UTF-8 and submitted the data, and then displayed
the smart quotes correctly (that is, without funky accented characters). It
only seemed to work if the browser was set to UTF-8 both to submit the data
and to read it. The existing pages remained borked.
For the time being it seems the meta tag is working, but I'm quite curious as
to why the browser would listen to that and NOT to the HTTP header. It also
still doesn't explain why the string-replace method is still not working,
even when everything is set to UTF-8.
If anyone has an idea in that regard, please share. :-)

uncomplicated XML document. I can parse the xml information
successfully. However, when it comes to building the form, where I have
a pair of double quotes (one escaped) to open the insertion of an array
variable for a form value there is also a newline character inserted in
the generated HTML form source code. Firefox and Safari ignore the
'breaks' in the code lines but it causes Explorer 5.2 (Mac) to fail to
display the values.
I have tried replacing the escaped double quote with a single quote - no
change, the HTML source still includes the extra newline. I've tried
removing and inserting spaces either side of the '.' without luck. I've
also checked the xml document in Textwrangler and it is 'clean' of
unwanted hidden characters.
There are two oddities about this. Firstly, the array[0] postion record
set form doesn't produce this 'broken' generated HTML, yet subsequent
records each show breaks in the HTML source in exactly the same place.
The other strangeness is that if I tab the original xml document for
clarity I get tabs inserted in the HTML along with the extra return ....
but again, only from record 2 (array[1]) onwards.
Here is part of the xml -
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<teachingstaff>
<person>
<name>name 1</name>
<status>headteacher</status>
<class>1</class>
<history>words here</history>
<picture>1.jpg</picture>
</person>
<person>
<name>name 2</name>
<status>teacher</status>
<class>2</class>
<history>words here</history>
<picture>2.jpg</picture>
</person>
<person>
<name>name 3</name>
and so on ... and here is some of the php to generate the HTML editing
form -
<?
loadteachingstaff();
echo "<div id=\"container\">";
echo "<div class=\"head\"><h2>Edit staff listing</h2></div><div>\n";
if($tstaffid < count($teachingstaff)) {
echo "<form action=\"tstaffsave.php\" method=\"POST\">";
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"tstaffid\" value=\"$tstaffid\">";
echo "<table>\n<tr><td class=\"labelr\">Name: </td><td><input
type=\"text\" name=\"newname\" size=\"50\"
value=\"".$teachingstaff[$tstaffid]['name']."\"></td></tr><br />\n";
echo "<tr><td class=\"labelr\">Role: </td><td><input type=\"text\"
name=\"newstatus\" size=\"50\"
value=\"".$teachingstaff[$tstaffid]['status']."\"></td></tr><br />\n";
echo "<tr><td class=\"labelr\">Class(es): </td><td><input type=\"text\"
name=\"newclass\" size=\"50\"
value=\"".$teachingstaff[$tstaffid]['class']."\"></td></tr><br />\n";
echo "<tr><td class=\"labelr\" valign=\"top\">Experience:
</td><td><textarea name=\"newhistory\" rows=\"5\" cols=\"50\"
align=\"left\">" . $teachingstaff[$tstaffid]['history'] .
"</textarea></td><br /></tr>\n";
and so on ...
The (**NEWLINE**) 'break' in the generated HTML source appears at the
following point in each of the echoed lines -
...
name=\"newstatus\" size=\"50\"
value=\""**NEWLINE**.$teachingstaff[$tstaffid]['status']."\"></td></tr><br
/>\n";
...
... but NOT if $tstaffid is 0 ...
Sorry to be so long-winded. I've checked the FAQ archives and can't find
anything which helps.

attached mail follows:
Do a var_dump() on $teachingstaff and see what is actually in the PHP array.
(I'd recommend putting the output in <pre> tags for readability).

It is much clearer to break in/out of PHP "mode" than to have all
these echo statements.
?>
<div id="container">
<div class="head"><h2>Edit staff listing</h2></div>
<div><?php
if ($tstaffid < count($teachingstaff)) {
?>
<form action="tstaffsave.php" method="POST">
...
</form>
<?php
}
?>
</div>
</div>
This may or may not help with the newlines in your data...

You need to first be 100% sure that you don't have newlines in the
data itself.
If status should have no whitespace before/after it, you could also
just http://php.net/trim it for now, and figure out where the newline
is coming from later. But you'll want to track it down, as this will
likely not go away until you understand where it comes from.
