Hi People,
PHP Newbie here again. trying to get HTML and PHP to work together really
stumps me at times, I'm trying to output a selection from a form as so:
<option value="Aruba">Aruba</option>
<?php
if (isset($_POST["Country"])) {
echo "<option
value="$_POST["Country"];"selected>\n"$_POST["Country"];"</option>\n";
} else {
echo "<option value="Australia" selected>Australia</option>\n";
}
?>
<option value="Austria">Austria</option>
This line is whats causing me all the greif:
echo "<option
value="$_POST["Country"];"selected>\n"$_POST["Country"];"</option>\n";
Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';''
Suggestions or tutorials please ;-)

You're wrapping the whole string in double quotes ("), not escaping the
double quotes in your form element, and using double quotes around the
array keys. Don't know why you have the semi-colons in the middle of
the string, or the new line, but try this...
echo ( "<option value=\"" . $_POST['Country'] . "\" selected>" .
$_POST['Country'] . "</option>\n" );
Read here about escaping characters, and about concatenating.

I think you should study thoroughly the "Language Reference" section of the
manual and in particular the chapter "Functions".

A good place to start reading about functions is in the php manual[1].
In short, functions are blocks of code that achieve a particular
purpose, or function. Arguments[2] are used with functions to pass
information, or variables, to these blocks of code. Generally the
arguments are used or manipulated by the function. Functions may pass
back, or return[3], information as well. Here are some sample
functions, function calls, and output for context. Steps are separated
as much as possible for clarity:
// No arguments
function echoHelloWorld() {
echo "Hello World\n";
}
echoHelloWorld(); // Output: Hello World
// Has arguments, uses data.
function printPlusOne($number) {
$number = $number + 1;
echo $number . "\n";
}
printPlusOne(2); // Output: 3
// Has arguments, manipulates and returns data.
function doubleNumber($number) {
$number = $number * 2;
return $number;
}
$value = doubleNumber(10);
echo $value . "\n"; // Output: 20
Good Luck,
Adam

Hello Dave,
You'll find all this information and much more in the PHP manual (
http://www.php.net/docs.php ). Look for the chapter on functions.
Have fun,

You're right that my regexp[0] didn't require the quote marks to match each
other. Depending on how strict/lax you want to be, that might be a
feature or a bug ;)
As to doing it without subpatterns... this seems to get there:
'#<img\s+src=((\'[^\']*\')|("[^"]*"))\s*/?\s*>#i'
but isn't as elegant or extensible as yours, although it does allow for
<img src=""> (that is, an empty src attribute). Also, it's less clear
where your matches are in mine, since there are so many parens.
IOW, Adam's is better ;)
[0]: The one I posted was:
'/<img src=["\'](.*?)\.(.*?)["\']>/i'
which didn't require quotes to match each other, didn't allow for
arbitrary whitespace, and didn't allow for XHTML-style tag closing.

It sounds like you would want to check out association and
aggregation[1]. Though aggregation looks mighty attractive, I doubt it
will work in your situation since you do not get the constructor, and
therefore the underlying reference to the DOM library is missing. See
below for a possible solution.

Neither prototype nor multiple inheritance is directly supported in
php. The best option to achieve what you want would be to define your
new class layer (MyNode, MyDocument, etc.) as inheriting from their
respective classes (ex. MyDocument extends MyNode). Then within each
class definition hold the respective DOM class in a property:
class MyNode {
var $dom_node;
function MyNode($param) {
$this->dom_node = new DomNode($param);
}
}
You then will need to write stub methods to implement each method in the
DOM class for your class. You can then manually override any DOM method
as well as extend the class in your own manner. An important note: You
*never* want to access the property for the DOM instance directly, if
you are using PHP 5 you *must* make this property private. This is a
fair amount of code bloat but afaik the only way you can conform php4 to
your design. See below for more solutions relating to PHP 5.

The Reflection API[2] in PHP 5 can help you here. I'm hoping to play
with it sometime and see if it can be used to fake prototypes by
allowing modification of the method and property spaces. That *would*
be nice. :) Even if it does not, you can still use it to look up and
call methods from other classes.
> Can Interfaces help me?
They may, but interfaces will not implement the code themselves.
Without prototypes you will need to either write accessor code to the
DOM methods in a function outside your classes and a wrapper for each
object, or copy and paste the code manually to implement the additional
Node sub-class functions across all other sub-classes. I would
recommend leaving interfaces out of this as they will provide
unnecessary structure and rigidity to your code. Implement only the
constraints you absolutely need.
Hopefully this gives you something to think on. As I am still working
out the possibilities in php myself I would appreciate any findings you
have back here.
Hope this helps,
Adam

I started putting them together then I realized I was not nor wanted to
implement the framework necessary to have a proper hierarchy. Instead I
am playing with replacing each function call that should throw an
exception manually. This has also helped me increase the granularity of
my exceptions. Because I generate practically all the code I have that
uses system function calls in some way it's not much additional code for
me to write.

Right now I have a php script that reads in sql code (currently MySQL's
semantics) and outputs a series of classes. I can not get into too much
detail as I consider it very dear to my process. :) However, I am able
to generate a complete class based data abstraction layer from sql code,
which is nice. :)

I wonder what will happen to the user base as PHP 5 comes out and later
when PHP 6 is in the works. Classes are becoming more popular in php
and I have already seen some discussion on implementing a base PHP
framework in classes. It seems some people are considering using Java's
structure, which I would agree is way to formal for PHP, however
hopefully some good middle ground will be found.

I don't think an in system solution would be a good idea. I appreciate
the PHP developer's respect for functional programming and think it
would be a mistake to being integrating an object oriented framework in
all of PHP itself. One if the benefits of PHP is its similarity to C.

Let me know how it goes. If you want to merge code and start an
impromptu class repository for PHP 5 I would be interested. I have only
been playing around with PHP 5 since it is still in beta, I haven't
tried converting an entire application over to the new class syntax yet.

Adam

Hi guys.
It's possible that my english sometimes isn't so good. I'm a small
german boy.
At the moment i am working on a WebFTP client. All the stuff like
list,mkdir,rm(dir),put works. But when i use ftp_get() an error appears:
Warning: ftp_get(): 'RETR ' not understood.
I guess 'RETR' is a message from FTPServer to PHP and PHP don't
understand it. So, can you tell me, how to avoid this?
Yours, Thorm.

When you request (get) a file using the ftp command you send a RETR
command to the ftp server indicating which file you want to retrieve.
I'm not 100% sure what is going on since there is no code in your post,
but it looks like the RETR command is disabled on the ftp server. This
means you will not be able to download files. Try retrieving the file
manually using your favorite ftp client and see what happens. If you
can post the code you are using we may be able to help better.

Oh. Yes. I forget the code.
With an normal FTP-client i can get the file easily.
Ah! I've found the error.
My code was
ftp_get($conn, "tmp", $file, FTP_BINARY);
The var $file is a GET-var, but on my server register_globals is off. So
i had to write $_GET['file']. It was so easy.

Are you using 1 and 2 as the function names in your real application?
Hope not, because function names same as variable names in all languges
can not begine with digit. Your 1 and 2 functions not work in my

it was a stupid fault, i returned the value of the function

Hi,
I've created a big site contains about 500 functions to handle all the site

- Should I separate them into grouped files ?

For your own sanity, more than anything else, yes.

Yes, but there is no "standard" way to do it. Each to their own shall
we say.

yeah. phpinfo() works, which is how I know for sure that PHP is working
fine. It's just not taking inputs. WTF is going? hehe....I'm going nuts over
here. Any other ideas?

I'd try to insert a simple echo statement, and figure out why it's not
returning anything.
try a file named phpinfo.php
----------------snip--------------
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
----------------snip---------------
if your web server implementation is correct that should work.
good luck,
Warren Vail

Subject: RE: [PHP] [Q]PHP not taking input values from forms
when i run that, it doesn't show return anything. I really don't understand
what's going on with php. I know it's working fine, it's just not returning
anything. Even scripts that I KNOW for a fact should be working (i.e. they
work for everyone else), don't work for me. Any other ideas? I REALLY need
to get this running, and it's upsetting because I don't get what's going
on.
TIA.

The fact that you cannot post any data to your installation of PHP
somewhat highlights the fact that either PHP or your web server
configuration are most certainly *not* working fine at all.
You already know it's nothing to do with your code, you've tried
various pieces of other code (including some from myself) and each and
every time it shows the same thing - you cannot post data to your
scripts.
Surely it's quite obvious you should now be talking to your web host,
or re-configuring your server/firewall if you did it yourself, because
the problem is now conclusively demonstrated as being there.

Hi.
Is it possible to get IIS 6 to show php sources. ( phps files )
And how do I do that, I have not found anything about it on php.net or
www.google.com <http://www.google.com/>

Yes you just have to set the filetype in the filetype associations in IIS 6,
are you using SBS2003?
