Jochem,
I went this route. I agree, it is much simpler than trying to hack this in
PHP.

it's rather a neat way of solving the 'how to run php4 & php5 module on the same
server' problem one often encounters,
I can't take any credit though - that belongs to Rasmus Lerdorf for pointing it out
(and possibly also due to his work on Apache itself - IIRC).
regardless, nice to know you solved your problem (or at least pushed back the urgency -
I guess that one day we'll all have to let go of php4 altogether :-).

No doubt -- I have enough problems with English.
My point was, or at least my failed attempt was: 1) humor; 2)
pointing out a proof reading error in a request for roof reading
skills. I found that ironically humorous.
No disrespect was intended, it was just a jab between posters.
My apologies if any offense was taken.

doesn't provide for iteration since, AFAICT, the OP is looking for
a map, not an iterable collection.

It will never receive a base name due to the way the data is structured before being passed into the function.
I appreciate everyone's input on this. It's been tough for us to develop what we did (since it's such an odd case), and it's good to see other possible methods to do this in a better manor.

Big classes and long methods are signs of bad code, no matter if it's

what's a "300+ functionality class"? One having more than 300 public
methods? Where can I see it? Such a beast could be legit (hard to tell
without knowing more), but it's probably a result of incompetence.
> Shouldn't these classes be perhaps broken down into usefull "parts".
Definitely.

Pfft. Depends on the code.
A developer api is going to have long methods / functions, simply
because of error checking.

I'd have to agree with that being extremely bad. My biggest class has
maybe 30.

Where possible, yes.

I have a base class that most of my components extend that has 90
methods. It could go elsewhere or be broken up into smaller pieces, but
why bother, then I'd have to spend more cycles loading the individual
pieces... and quite frankly I'm too lazy to bother :) Most of them wrap
PHP functionality or do framework localization.
Cheers,
Rob.

Hi,
I am looking for a way to open a preview window. This should be a seperate

display onclick just below the "more details »" link.
Has anyone come across this ever. Please assist with a link or with your

There are gazillions of examples found via the web. Just google for "css
popups" and I'm sure you'll fine a few of them in amoungst the porn,
spam, and warez. :p

Was there a requirement given that it had to work in Opera. No, he just
asked if anybody had come across this feature. Maybe it works in Opera,
maybe it doesn't. I didn't see that as a requirement. But then again,
what about the people that use Lynx, how is he going to work that one?
Oh, that wasn't a requirement either.
This is just one example of how it can be done.
That is what he asked for.

So I was perhaps a bit inflammatory in my post. But I do not see myself
completely rebutted.
1. Maintaining legacy apps does not fall under the categories I was
referring to. If you are bound by legacy constraints it is another ballgame.
2. In a short mail like this one there is not room to expand every
minute detail. I do realise that PDO is not the best way to go for every
app. But in saying that prepared statements is a really good way to
protect against SQL-injection, I'm just echoing Ilia Alshanetsky
(spelling?) and a few other rather renowned security experts. Of course
one should always have a "defense in depth", though.
3. Speed loss from prepared statements are usually negligible even for a
single query. There are tests published on the net. And if one wants
speed, one should probably consider a caching layer between PHP and ones
DBMS. The OO-model in PHP 5 would make such multi tiered apps simpler to
develop as well.
The question PHP 4 or PHP 5: If you stay with 4 you are bound to a one
size fits all solution. In PHP 5 you can use DB-specific drivers or PDO
or a PHP-based abstraction layer. That's *more* choice, not less!
To summarize: With PDO or mysqli I can use both old school SQL and
prepared statements, in PHP 4 there are fewer options! My case for PHP 5
stands intact.
And finally: With each new release of PHP we can expect improvements in
PDO, making it a more future safe alternative.

Could you point out to me where exactly the discussion became about PHP4
versus PHP5? I seem to be smelling the red herring technique of changing
the conversation focus so as to inappropriately lend credence to the
initial argument because the secondary red herring argument can be
argued more in your favour despite its irrelevance.

Since you asked for a reference in the other post: HTTP/1.1 tries to be
as general as possible, and doesn't impose limits on line lengths. Some
commented quotes follow, I hope it's digestible.
# 3.2.1 General Syntax
#
# URIs in HTTP can be represented in absolute form or relative to some
# known base URI [11], depending upon the context of their use. The two
# forms are differentiated by the fact that absolute URIs always begin
# with a scheme name followed by a colon. For definitive information on
# URL syntax and semantics, see "Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI):
# Generic Syntax and Semantics," RFC 2396 [42] (which replaces RFCs
# 1738 [4] and RFC 1808 [11]). This specification adopts the
# definitions of "URI-reference", "absoluteURI", "relativeURI", "port",
# "host","abs_path", "rel_path", and "authority" from that
# specification.
RFC 2396 doesn't mention any length limits.
# The HTTP protocol does not place any a priori limit on the length of
# a URI. Servers MUST be able to handle the URI of any resource they
# serve, and SHOULD be able to handle URIs of unbounded length if they
# provide GET-based forms that could generate such URIs.
Case closed. If there's no "a priori limit on the length of a URI",
then there isn't any limit on the length of the request line, the
Location response header, or the Content-Location entity header.
# A server
# SHOULD return 414 (Request-URI Too Long) status if a URI is longer
# than the server can handle (see section 10.4.15).
"10.4.15 414 Request-URI Too Long" doesn't add anything interesting.
# 4 HTTP Message
#
# 4.1 Message Types
#
# HTTP messages consist of requests from client to server and responses
# from server to client.
#
# HTTP-message = Request | Response ; HTTP/1.1 messages
#
# Request (section 5) and Response (section 6) messages use the generic
# message format of RFC 822 [9] for transferring entities (the payload
# of the message).
The keyword is "entities". Applying the email-specific header length
limit to a HTTP implementation would IMO be a mistake. For
completeness, RFC 822:
# 3.4.8. FOLDING LONG HEADER FIELDS
#
# Each header field may be represented on exactly one line con-
# sisting of the name of the field and its body, and terminated
# by a CRLF; this is what the parser sees. For readability, the
# field-body portion of long header fields may be "folded" onto
# multiple lines of the actual field. "Long" is commonly inter-
# preted to mean greater than 65 or 72 characters. The former
# length serves as a limit, when the message is to be viewed on
# most simple terminals which use simple display software; how-
# ever, the limit is not imposed by this standard.
As you can see, the standard specifically disclaims a length limit. The
998-character limit you mentioned (IIRC) in another post comes from
RFC 2822 (replaces 822), which imposes it for compatibility with legacy
systems which could not handle lines longer than 1000 characters
(RFC 2822, 2.1.1. Line Length Limits):
# The 998 character limit is due to limitations in many implementations
# which send, receive, or store Internet Message Format messages that
# simply cannot handle more than 998 characters on a line. Receiving
# implementations would do well to handle an arbitrarily large number
# of characters in a line for robustness sake.
This limitation doesn't apply to HTTP, that'd conflict with the unbound
URI statement in 3.2.1.
As for the server side: Status codes 413 and 414 are SHOULD, but any
server which silently truncates either the request URI or the request
entity has serious interoperability problems.
Summary
There are no limits on line length in HTTP, servers need to be able to
handle anything they need to work, and clients need to support headers
as long as they want to send.
HTTP/1.1 doesn't address URI or entity truncation in user agents
specifically, that's simply a bug, not a protocol violation.

Hey all,
Just did a new install on FreeBSD 6.0 of Apache 2,
PHP4 and MySQL, but the browser asks to save a PHP
file rather than execute it. I do have the
following in httpd.conf, however.
LoadModule php4_module libexec/apache2/libphp4.so
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
index.html.var
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Now I'm wondering if somehow PHP4 got compiled
without the Apache module selected?
Does that sound accurate? I did check it off when
the compile began however.

Anything in your apache logs? Did you restart the webserver? Did you
compile yourself?

Without any "modifier", $ matches the END of the string.
It is impossible to have the end of the string followed by more stuff.
You maybe meant to add 'm' and or 's' after the ending '/', which
would indicate that you are looking for a newline followed by
'\/index.php' but I doubt that that is what you want either...
I don't think you want the $ in there at all...
Or maybe you want it right before the final '/' to make sure the URL
has nothing else after the 'index.php' part.
