Hi,
I am busy developing a commandline tool that will, in certain
cirumstances, return an array of information when called and im having
a problem with this.
The last part of my code looks like this:
if(is_array($rslt)) return $rslt;
else echo $rslt;
I.e. if its an array dont echo it, return it rather and im have huge
problems even using that $rslt variable. I have tried various exec
queries including exec() (with var before function call and as a
parameter), passthru, backtick operators and none of them allow me to
use the array after the commandline tool has been run.
I also dont know how many levels the array may have as im referencing
other functions that change them based on the query given to the
commandline tool so I cant even put it into a string before returning
it as i dont know how many levels are involved and are returned from
the function call inside the commandline app. Does anyone have any
suggestions as to how I could achieve this or any better ways of doing
it?
Quick summary: Im accessing a web interface that calls a php file to
parse some info. That php file may get an array back that I need to
use in the web interface - but I cant pass it back to the web
interface from the commandline tool.
Thanks
Ian

Ian, that's a bit of a contradiction - a command line tool returns a
return code.

Exactly - the array is a PHP construct, once you've called the command
script, you've moved into your basic OS environment - which doesn't
understand about PHP arrays.

Why does it have to be called as a command line tool? Why not just call
it as a plain PHP function?

Yep, my bad - thats bad english - it was talking about the output that
the commandline tool spews out - i was hoping to return the entire
array for use within the web interface.

Thats what i suspected - was just taking a gamble that someone would
have an ideal solution and make my life much easier :) ill have to
manually add some switch cases for different result sets and then a
decompile function on the other end.

I have to use it as I cant include some required files into my web ui
as they interfere with the base system (not one i wrote) and it causes
all sorts of havoc so I have resorted to creating a "bridge" to
combine the two systems which is where this problem comes in.
Many thanks :)

Got it - yes, that should be possible, but only in text format. Have
you looked at the output array parameter from the exec() call?
What you might be able to is print out the serialized form of the array,
and the deserialize in the calling function? Bit of round-about way,
but it might work.

Ah, now it makes sense. Then you've just got to work out the
interface - maybe the serialize/deserialize I mentioned above. Or you
could let the command line stuff write to a file that you'd then read
back from the web ui.

...and probably a hundred others. I just find I'm often drastically
outbid by someone from a developing 2nd-world nation that doesn't mind
building and designing an entire corporate web application for $10 ($3
of which is generally taken by the crowd-sourcing site on which the
transaction takes place).
The thing is, though, that I'm sure a lot of those jobs go unfinished or
are "finished" sloppily. When people stop caring so much about squeezing
their dollar, and start to care about actually getting a good product
from their seller/coder relationship, I might get back into it.

on that note; I found a lucrative little spot on scriptlance
remaking/bug fixing the lower quality work for maybe not normal, but
certainly decent, rates.

I had a paid account with guru.com and spent a full year answering
proposals (> 100) -- I didn't get a single job. It was a complete
waste of time for me, but I am sure it works for others.
I just landed a client who had a very bad experience with rentacoder.
So, it appears that the 2nd-world nation programming experience is
providing some kick-back work for honest programmers. At least I
receive more business from people who have had problems with "cheap"
programming than those high-profile sites who sell "cheap"
programming serves.

I had a free Guru.com account when I was working freelance and job hunting
and all that, and I didn't bother submitting a single proposal because I
could see how all the jobs went. People would submit a reasonable proposal
and eventually it would get to the point where someone was bidding $1 to do
the job. That was $1 plus $5,000 or something in "additional work" or some
stupidity.
I wasn't about to jump into a pit of idiots and compete in an obviously
losing battle with unscrupulous bidders. Regardless of whether they were
overseas or not, it's still a losing proposition for someone like me. Not
only do you have to compete with unfair bidding practices and predatory
sales people, but you have to fight the stigma of the innevitable crap jobs
all these other guys may be doing and have to prove yourself above and
beyond what you'd have to.
Not to mention, if you DO get a proposal from someone who's been burnt
before, there's a higher likelihood that they're going to put unreasonable
demands on you, hoping to control the 'burn' the second time around.
Blarg. Screw it. hah

It always happens. At least... it always happens eventually in companies
that stay in existence. Eventually, they figure out that it costs them
more money to go back and fix crap-tastic code 4 or 5 times than it does
to just pay well to code it right in the first place.
Now, if I could just get hold of them AFTER they've decided to address
the problem, and not just the symptoms of their floundering code...

I had one guy respond to my bid and ask how much I charged. I replied
"$50 per hour".
To which he said "$50! I never paid more than $25 per hour -- will
you work for that?"
I replied "Sure, but it's going to take me twice as long to get anything done."
I didn't get the job.
Actually, if I really punched a time clock, I'm probably making
around $25 per hour (or less) anyway. It's a good thing I love the
work, but it's usually the clients who are the main problem. Too bad
they often stand in the way of what they really want done.
I had another respond to my bid. They wanted a way they could upload
Word documents to a server and have them automagically become pdf
files. I said, "Why don't you just do it directly from Word?" Poof --
I lost that contract.
Another said that they wanted a way to upload pdf files and then
inject input fields directly into the uploaded pdf file.
I told them that's not an easy thing to do considering how PDF files
are constructed. So I suggested creating an online form and
generating pdf files on the fly. I even made a demo for them to use.
But, the client said "No, we need to be able use our existing pdf
files.
So, I researched the hell out of it some more and came to the
conclusion that it would be very difficult and told them so.
They answered "Oh, don't worry about it, we already found someone who
can do it. He showed us a way that we could use an online form and
generate pdf files on the fly."
Duh!
Is everyone stupid or is it just me? :-)

We've all been there. I put together a site at work, and despite my best
efforts, the girl who is in-charge of adding content keeps making the
same mistakes, like trying to upload a PDF in a field clearly marked CSV
(and then wondering why it doesn't work) or adding a new article and
wonder why it doesn't appear in date order if she doesn't specify a date
(articles often get added at times other than they occur) or why when
she uploads a 1024*768 BMP file, the site has trouble converting it,
despite asking for a much smaller JPG file! All these problems are just
on one site and with one woman. My whole base is like this!

If all you want to do is count the number of line breaks, then the
substr_count function that Micah recommends will do the job. I suspect
that you are interested in more than counting paragraphs, however. To
insert an ad as you describe, I would convert the string to an array,
edit the desired element, then reconstruct the string. It's much
easier than it sounds. You can also get the number of elements in the
array, if you desire:
<?PHP
//define string
$str="text_0<br />text_1<br />text_2<br />text_3<br />text_4<br
/>text_5";
//create array of string elements and (optionally) get the number of
elements
$para=explode("<br />",$str);
$elements=count($para)
//edit the desired element(s)
$para[3]="[AD] ".$para[3];
//reconstruct the string
$str=implode("<br />",$para);
?>

You're using Fx3 and the cake works entirely? I'm impressed. I'd have at
least expected a bug or two, like a general flour fault, or a problem
with the icing interface... You must be using Fx3 on a non-Windows
platform ;)

Another good idea could be to try mysql by partitioning your table and
use the merge tables feature to search. The problem is always, as usual,
to choose carefully the indexes but since you are searching for text
this might be hard to implement (perhaps by using search tags for every
entry but you will have to create them).
You can also post this to php-db list. You might get better answers...

That's not an argument in the matter of code readability, portability and
understandability.
"Better be safe than sorry" (c) folk
When you want to check if array key has meaningful value or not, disregarding
it's content and/or presence, use isset(). But that have never happened to me
in, like, 10 years. And knowing if key is present critical for foreach() cycle.
On the other side, for every my project bigger than single page I always use
purifying function to cleanup/normalize _GET/_POST/_REQUEST.
And for every project I always have list of used user variables and it's
expected types/values. If variable have been passed, required, but contains
unreliable value, I could change it to NULL (which is, as you mentioned,
cannot be set by user) to indicate that it was passed to script AND purged
in validation process. (Have never used it but having such ability is for good)

Heh.. my first job was to create an HTML template for this guy's product
e-mails. I set it up to where all he had to do was copy + paste and
change the images/description. It looked good, and it worked just fine.
Well.. that wasn't good enough. His template request turned into a
"Well, that's great... but what I want now is a mass e-mailing utility
and for you to teach me how to use Outlook Express!" I had bid low on
the job on purpose, as I just wanted to get at least ONE under my belt.
I was taken advantage of. Apparently he thought I was desperate, and
would be willing to shoulder one new appended request after another.
Needless to say, I had to take it into arbitration after a few
mind-blowing exercises in client arrogance and stupidity. The whole
project probably took two weeks--but the product was in its finished
form after the first day I was given the job.
Rrgh.
<?= $people == $stupid & $arrogant & $impolite ?>
TRUE
I later bid $75 on a project that I ethically could have charged $150
for. It was "done" by an individual from Pakistan who charged only $10
($65 difference! WTF?!). No doubt he took months to do it, and it was
far short of the client's par for expected results.
I guess the crowd-sourcing sites can be decent money makers if you are
predominantly involved with either fixing sloppy code (from previous
errs in the seller's judgment re: picking a worthwhile coder) or the
enterprise-level jobs that never dip below $5,000 a bid. I don't have
time for the enterprise-level projects, and fixing broken code that was
jumbled together by a million monkeys sitting at a million typewriters
in someone's basement would probably cause my brain to leak out of my
ears.

Use SQL DATE_FORMAT instead.

Very basic solution: use 3 editboxes and short javascript sample to confirm
input.
Like
[__]/[__]/[____]
<span id="timeconfirm">...</span>
And fill 'timeconfirm' in onchange/onkeypress event, using verbal format like
Tue, Jan 03, 2008
That way, user actually see which date s/he have entered and you may use it
straightforward.

Not as I know. So, you should either force user to use specific format
(military YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS for example) or leave user no chance to enter
wrong data.

Well actually the basic question was if there is about how to change the
user input rather then how to retrieve the data.
As for the retrieved data: Those functions belong to framework and by
changing just a function I can retrieve whatever format I need by
changing a function instead of changing all the queries in the project.
So I guess I will stick with that although I am aware of the date-time
functions that mysql has available.

This is possible since strtotime accepts many formats and if one of them
was dd/mm/yyyy it would work like charm.
Nevertheless I made a javascript to chose the date directly from a
window by just clicking it. In addition to that I will have to validate
the form data before the insert no matter what javascript does.

I am already doing that but it would much more convenient if the format
we usually use here (dd/mm/yyyy) was acceptable depending on the
timezone as Stut suggested somewhere in this thread.

Most of the above can be done using number_format(). The dollar sign you will

Would you care to explain a little further what you are trying to do.
I can't tell from your post what you mean by an "aggregate variable"
or the "sum of some smaller variable." What are you passing this
to/from? Are you looking for something like this?

Hi all,
I'm wondering why PHP doesn't free my memory with this test code. The
memory usage is always the same even if i unset my object. The Garbage
collector seems to only free the memory at the end of the script.
Here's the php Scripts that i use for testing:
<?php
//dl("php_mapscript.so");
function test() {
$oShapeFile = ms_newShapefileObj(
"/opt/www/bdga/msp/data/bdga/BDGA_HYDRO_S_POLY.shp", -1);
echo "before getShape : ".memory_get_usage(true)."\n";
for ($i=0; $i<$oShapeFile->numshapes;$i++) {
$oShape = $oShapeFile->getShape($i);
$oShape->free();
unset($oShape);
$oShape = NULL;
}
echo "after getShape : ".memory_get_usage(true)."\n";
$oShapeFile->free();
unset($oShapeFile);
$oShapeFile = null;
echo "after free : ".memory_get_usage(true)."\n";
}
echo "start : ".memory_get_usage(true)."\n";
test();
echo "end : ".memory_get_usage(true)."\n";
?>
Output result:
start : 262144
before getShape : 262144
after getShape : 11010048
after free : 11010048
end : 11010048
I've also run valgrind to be sure that is not my extension that doesn't
free its memory:
$ valgrind --leak-check=full php -f shapeTest.php
==18730== LEAK SUMMARY:
==18730== definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.

interesting, I'm finding the same thing in one of my atom feed parsers;
over time no matter how much I unset / truncate variables the memory
usage stills grows over time - at this time I can't find any way to
bring it right down; on a timer the whole script resets and restarts itself;
one thing I have noticed is that I can see the emalloc memory usage
report dropping and rising [memory_get_usage( false );], but still
rising over time..
hope this wasn't a hijack; just here trying to figure out the same
problem at the minute!

I think the engine doesn't really worry about freeing memory until it
has to. Or was this only on circular references? I remember there
was that whole GSOC project to implement garbage collection, but it
never got implemented. Maybe someone who really knows will chime in.

you're right; I remember the discussion over on internals 3rd December

implemented or not..

As promised in the past few weeks we have spent a significant amount of
time in reviewing the garbage collector work and testing it in our
performance lab. Dmitry has been exchanging ideas and patches with David
Wang during this time. Suffice to say that as I've mentioned in the
past, memory management is an extremely sensitive piece of PHP, which is
why it was important for us to review this work in great depth before
committing it to the code base.
The updated patch still retains the same algorithm as David's original
implementation however the data structures have been changed in order to
work faster and use less memory.
The revised patch has the following advantages:
- It fixes several crash bugs
- Enhances performance by removing several unnecessary checks
- The memory overhead was reduced (from 12 to 4 bytes for each
heap-allocated zval)
- The speed of "clean" PHP code (code that doesn't create cycles) was
improved
- Additional test cases were created
The end result is a more stable and faster GC patch. That said we have
yet to find real-life applications that create significant cycles which
would benefit from this patch. In fact as you'll see from the results
our tests show an increase in maximum memory use and slower execution
(to be fair they are marginal).
We have tested both PHP_5_3 without any patches, the original patch and
the new patch.
The following table shows execution time (seconds for N requests) and
slowdown.

To summarize the patch lead to approx. 5% slowdown and 3% memory
overhead for typical applications (as always, you mileage may vary
depending on your system's architecture and OS although my guesstimate
is that you will see even worse results in a 64bit environment). We also
tested SugarCRM to get another sanity for these results and we got
similar results.
I am not quite sure where this leaves us with this patch. On one hand I
think now the effort has been made it's a good thing to offer it as part
of PHP. The downside is of course some performance degradation and
possible instabilities as this patch continues to stabilize (it took
about two releases for us to stabilize the Zend Memory Manager even
after in-depth testing due to edge cases in allocation patterns and
various extensions, etc...).I'd be surprised if our team has found all
possible bugs.
Personally I think the decision should be either in or out. Adding this
as a compile option is not a good idea as it would create binary
compatibility issues and would be a pain for the community. I think my
inclination is to commit the patch, not have it #ifdef'ed but always
compiled but to have the garbage collection itself turned off by default
(mainly for stability reasons. Note: the increased memory footprint and
performance loss also exists with the collection itself turned off). We
can turn it on when we're in dev for snapshots so that we iron out bugs.
That said, as you can see from the results most people and real-life
applications will be worse off than today.
Thanks to David & Dmitry for working hard on this (and everyone else who
contributed).
The stage is open for ideas/thoughts/suggestions J

You'll get mixed results on that here, Kyle. For the most part,
those who matter won't have a problem with it as long as it's a
legitimate one-time thing (not trying to use this list as a
recruitment tool), respectful, and not a SPAM-vertisement.

Yep, I think you hit the nail on the head with that last observation. If
it weren't for the client themselves, I'd usually be able to get what
they need done a lot more efficiently. :D

I posted this on my web site and have sent a couple of clients there.

I don't know if they will understand it, but it'll give them
something wonder about.

Hi forum
I install library GD in Centos with
yum install php-gd
I follow your instructions and install,
but when i execute phpinfo( ), i see the next
'./configure' '--build=i686-redhat-linux-gnu' '..... without-gdbm'
'--with-gettext' '--with-gmp' '--with-iconv' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr'
'--with-png' '--without-gd' .......
and
gd

But don't work with instructions of this library
.
And in other server install XAMPP and work very good the same
code, but need work in first server.
And other server the
result phpinfo ( ) is
--with-gdbm=/opt/lampp
--with-jpeg-dir=/opt/lampp --with-png-dir=/opt/lampp
--with-freetype-dir=/opt/lampp --with-gd
I think when
re-compile the php don't suport instruction --with-gd
You
can help me please.
Thanks.

Hi, I was wondering,
By php.net manual, "Please note that variable variables cannot be used with
PHP's Superglobal arrays within functions or class methods". Is there any
way to override this problem? Just the not nice eval("return $variable");?
and in simple words - is there any way to make the following code work:
$varname = "\$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']";
$varvalue = $$varname;
?
