You want to see something cool?

http://stubbles.net/browser/trunk/src/main/php/net/stubbles/events

I don't actually use that specific code because I don't want that base
object/serializable stuff. I wrote something very similar that allows
me to pre-define a mapping of classes that bind to events. So when an
event is fired, it will search to see if any classes have been
registered to handle it. Then it will lazy load them and handle the
event. This allows me to define a ton of classes for events and there
isn't any overhead other than one array.

That is pretty powerful to me.

wow.. this is the response i expected to see for all php expert programmer.
honestly, i don't know yet how it works. But, it seem so interesting to me.
do you have any live project making use of this one?

I can't show you the code because I wrote it on company time therefore
I don't own it.

A very generalized example.

Register events:
$events = array(
        array('event'=>'onSave', 'class'=>'localEvents', 'method'=>'handleOnSave')
);
$dispatcher = namespace_registry::get('dispatcher');
$dispatcher->lazyRegister($events);

Sample save page:
$record = new record;
$record->name = 'Eric Butera'
$isSuccess = $record->save();
$dispatcher->trigger('onSave', $record, array('isSuccess'=>$isSuccess));

Upon firing, the dispatcher would check to see if any lazy registrants
exist for the onSave event. If some exist, then it will then use the
configured settings to somehow load & call the defined class/method
and inject it with an event notification object.

Sample event handler:
class localEvents {
    public function handleOnSave(namespace_Event $event) {
        echo "An onsave event is being handled, triggered in subject
class ". get_class($event->getSubject()) ."\n";
        $info = $event->getInfo();
        if ($info['isSuccess'] === true) {
            // do something else!
        }
    }
}

Why is this useful? Because you can add functionality to your save
page without touching it. This is very powerful when you have a
shared code base and need to add some parts to it without breaking
other sites. Since it is expected that events will be registered it
is okay to rely on this functionality always being there rather than
the internals of your app changing and creating nightmares.

First thing, after the sweeeet header comment that I saw was this:

        call_user_func('lib_eyeString_start');

I thought, why wouldn't you just do this:

        lib_eyeString_start();

Or maybe I'm missing something. call_user_func() only seems to be
useful if you have a variable function name that could be different for
any call of the call_user_func():

        call_user_func($funcNameAssignedEarlier);

But still, this would be the same yes?

        $funcNameAssignedEarlier();

i think your assessment is valid. variable functions are great, there is
less overhead. the benefit of call_user_func() is that it accepts the php
psuedo type 'callback' which allows client code to determine what 'type' of
function is used; a global function, a class instance function, or a class
static function. in this case cycles are being thrown down the drain for
nothing :O

The subject line "suggests" he's trying to call a perl script from
within a PHP page.

Maybe something in here will be of help:

No friend,

I said, the perl scripts work fine. The problem is to show the result in
the site.

One of them the result is shown and in the other one, not.

What is strange to me is that both scripts are almost the same, only
changes the query, in one case is to Eurid and the other case is to
Eurid. But I repeat, execute the scripts from command line show the
right result in both cases.

So I was asking if I was doing something wrong that i couldn't see in my
passthru() function use.

Please, read, think and them if you can say something to help, do it. In
this case you just make grow your EGO.

Could be something to do with your ENV setup. When you run passthru
it is going to play with Apache's rules (big assumption there). I
know that I've had scripts in the past have weird issues between what
environment variables existed where. It's also going to be running as
a different user, maybe that has something to do with it also?

Maybe add the second parameter to the passthru call to catch the
return status of the call to the perl script. If it fails because it
is running as 'nobody', you should have some feedback in there.

Hi all,

If I have the following French character : &#65533;

And I want to display it properly, IE: how it is meant to be displayed as
the proper french character, which encoding do I need to use?

Or is there a string function which can convert this to the correct
character?

Thanks in advance.

Your &#65533; didn't display properly at all - I tried ISO-8859-1 and
UTF8.

Hi Per that’s the problem I am having, this is how data from a project I
inherited is saved in the DB and I cant get it to show.

However I get normal data eg: ème est très haute. To show if its saved like
that in the DB, I just do:

echo utf8_encode("ème est très haute.");

and it works well. Is there anyway you think I can get the data in the DB to
format correctly perhaps using some sort of string command?

Thanks for your help again.

Hi Angelo

what's the charset of your database table? Do e.g. "SHOW CREATE TABLE
xxxxx" in mysql to see what the table is stored as.

OK, all of that came through fine in ISO-8859-1 as quoted-printable.
And yes, if you to put that in a UTF-8 page, utf8_encode() would be the
right thing.

> and it works well. Is there anyway you think I can get the data in the
> DB to format correctly perhaps using some sort of string command?

Find out what charset the database is stored in - if it's ISO-8859-1 or
a close relative (which I suspect), you need to either serve your pages
as ISO-8859-1 or convert to UTF-8 using e.g. utf8_encode() and serve
the pages as UTF-8.

Have you got a sample I can look at? (feel free to send me URLs
off-line).

With this I need one function call to create the form on the page. I can
exclude columns and set an action to be taken once the form is filled
out.

There are several other functions and what I end up with is a set of
functions that do make up a form handling framework. This can also be
done in the context of OOP, I just want to show some procedural code.
This assumes MySQL as the database.

Hi all,

Out of curiosity, I'm trying to find information about how well mbstring
and iconv behave and possibly a comparison between the two.

The basic functions offered by both extensions seem to be providing
*about* the same features, and I read a ppt presentation from Carlos
Hoyos [1] just saying this:

"
PHP supports multi byte in two extensions: iconv and mbstring
* iconv uses an external library (supports more encodings but less
portable)
* mbstring has the library bundled with PHP (less encodings but more
portable)
"

Is this really all there is to having two extensions providing character
encoding features?
Is there any kind of strong difference in efficiency?
Information is pretty difficult to find on the topic (and judging by
hits on my blog, my article is about the only quick and easy to find
reference to such comparison, so I'd like to extend that).

I also hear that Zend framework is mostly heading in the iconv
direction. What about what's included in PHP6? (ok, I can do that last
bit of research by myself).

It's out of curiosity, so not urgent, but I'd like to be sure I do the
right choice next time around.

Thanks,

Yannick

Hi Richard,

Any chance you would have a virtual host configuration or some part of
your scripts that redefine the open_basedir?

I would put some logging in the middle with ini_get('open_basedir'); and
see if it changes sometime between the first line of your script and the
location where the error above appears.
