Oh, I forgot to add that to do your development you have many options:

1) use notepad and sftp your edited php files to the virtualbox server. 
Install sftp on your windows desktop:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html


2) edit directly on the machine using Vim or Nano, proly want to use putty
to SSH onto virtual server.

3) an IDE on windows such as:

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Total newbie here

[Jason R. <ja...@ho...>]

Andy gave a good overview, I would add that if you are looking to learn 
PHP and either eventually want to be able to do it professionally or 
want to host what you build on normal commecial web hosting sites I 
would suggest learning PHP in a linux environment. There are differences 
at times.

Along those lines I would really suggest installing virtualbox:

http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

And then just download an already "installed" linux VM image:

http://virtualbox.wordpress.com/images/

My suggestion would be Ubuntu or Debian as they have the largest 
communities in dev forums and should be easy to get help with.

If you're running Windows, the best, most lightweight implementation I've
found is AppServ (http://www.appservnetwork.com/).  It has PHP, MySQL and
Apache.  They have versions with PHP 4, 5, and 6 so you can choose what you
want to use.

If you're on OS X, MAMP is hand's down, my pick.  Works perfect and is a
breeze to setup.

On Linux, it's DIY all the way.  What I've done for development is use
VirutalBox and set up a virtual machine using Trustix (you can download the
ISO from http://rpmfind.net/linux/trustix/current/iso/).  The main reason I
have chosen this one for my use is that it's RedHat in flavor and super easy
to install.  You do have to do some minor tweaking with the
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and /etc/httpd/conf.d/httpd-php4.conf files.  I'd
also recommend installing the Webmin RPM.  This will make the administration
of your development server even easier (especially with startup
configuration and MySQL authentication setup.  This will also work with
VirtualBox or Virtual PC on Windows.

Just some thoughts.  Good luck,

[chiPHPug-discuss] Total newbie here

[John S. <js...@co...>]

Hello all,

Im looking for some help setting up Php at home. I just finished taking the
Php class in school. We were using Zend Studio with an i5.  Class is over so
Zend won't work anymore, no i5 access. I picked up the Sam's teach yourself
Php book with starter kit cd. It has the Php, MySQL and Apache. Apache
installed no probs on an XP box. Already had MySQL installed. Followed  the
instructions to load Php - no go. Can anyone recommend a tutorial to load
this? Can Zend Studio for iseries work with Apache local? Or would Eclipse
be better than the Php that came with the book? Thanks ahead of time.

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] PHP Live Support

[Andy C. <bng...@gm...>]

You could use something simple like a php script that pulls chat data out of
a database.  Then access that php script with XMLHttpRequest from within a
setTimeout command.  That way the chat will refresh without refreshing the
browser.  You'd have to use another php script to put the chats up to the
database and when the post is sent (via XMLHttpRequest), it would save it to
the db and refresh the chat.

It's a thought.  PEACE!!!!!!,

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] PHP Live Support

[junkmail <jun...@2z...>]

Is this for a chat support? If so, there are lots of scripts out there 
demonstrating PHP and COMET. This is the best "push" like technology and 
is as live as you get for a web browser.
As for the backend, you'll definitely need something specialized no 
matter what, but it sounds like the most important part is the "live" 
aspect of it all.

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] db.php for ODBC

[Trevor O. <tr...@gm...>]

Just a matter of preference, but instead of db.php, why not create a class
with connection parameters?

public class DB{
const DBSERVER = 'localhost';
const USER = 'xxxxx'
etc, and a few methods, a few listed below
}

Then you can do things like
$db = new DB();
$db->update('table',array('column'=>'value') (returns rows affected)
$db->insert('table',array('column'=>'value') (returns inserted row id)
$db->getRows($query) (returns all rows returned from a query)

It's cleaner, and you don't have to worry about doing
mysql_select_db/mysql_fetch_assoc, and all those other ugly function names
Furthermore your update and insert methods can automatically escape
parameters, columns, and table names so you don't have to worry about SQL
injection.

You can abstract out the configuration data, too, so that you can work with
two databases concurrently and not worry about database resources getting
mixed up.

Wondering how I should adjust the format below to connect to my work ODBC5100 database through PHP5.  Ideally, I would like to extract data to create tables in MySQL.  I believe it will allow for more efficiency.

?
$dbserver = "localhost";
$dbuser = "xxxxxx";

$dbdb = "xxxxxx";
mysql_connect($dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpass);
mysql_select_db($dbdb);

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] Notes to a Jr. Dev

[matt d. <mm_...@ya...>]

This is my ten year anniversary on this list! I've helped a few people, annoyed some others (smarty?, drupal?) and, never been to single meeting?
(What do you guys look like?- the original CHIPUG site had pics (if I used emoticons there would be a sad face here))
I really should be moving on to my next career- tending some grape vines and cooking an occasional brick oven pizza for anyone who stops by my future
South American coastal highway digs.

Until I actually make that happen(xxx)- I offer this sure to be ridiculed screed for your perusal/amusement...


You’re doing nice work- apologies if I’m short lately. Long
hours and stress make me demanding.
On appearance- the user and company edit looks okay.
That said…
 
You are at a level where I expect good code always. Anything short will be called
out.
I want this portal to be CLEAN- no choppy code allowed. This
is a fresh start on the mishmash that makes (redacted) a pain (and buggy).
So, even though we have deadlines- I expect everything to be
thought out and planned. Not hacked.
Always think- What is best for the end-user experience? And-
what is efficient (code-wise) and can be isolated as a ‘tight’ application that
won’t be buggy.
Generally when you write code you should be thinking- ‘how
will I test this’ first. Not after you write it. I’m not making a statement on
what you do- just saying what I expect.
 
There are two things that will bug me-
Extra code.
Not well formatted code.
 
Reason being, both lead to errors-
Extra code is more code that can break.
Badly formatted code is hard to read and leads to errors. It
also takes extra time for other dev’s to read. THE FIRST thing I do when I
re-factor is to format everything so I know exactly what I’m looking at. I usually spot errors and see
efficiencies at this point that color what I will do when I make changes.
 
Whenever we take the time to re-factor code I expect it to
be perfectly formatted with no duplication of efforts (i.e. if a class is
declared I don’t want to see a row array of the same data later).
When you can- move procedural code to classes.
Also- if there is some linked global function (which (redacted) liked to do) and it’s not annotated- comment the code as to where the function
came from.Especially if you had
to search for it. Also- if that function is in a class, use the construct
if(function_exists($somefunction))  so
classes don’t break out of context.
Which is a problem I’m seeing now.
It’s not enough to re-write
something and have it work. You need to own it and, after it works you need to ask yourself if it’s the
most efficient solution. And could it be done better?
Re-write it if that’s the case. It’s better to have good ‘flexible’
long lasting code then code that works temporarily.
Always think about what would break your code and how it
could be more flexible to that prospect.
 
I know you are touching some bad India dev code but you need to clean it up.
I will be reviewing this code specifically as it’s
potentially embarrassing and could be a security lapse.
It’s particularly context sensitive.
 
On formatting code:
For work files it should be self explanatory (indent and
match brackets).
On body files I expect to be able to read the HTML tags in
context, they should line up logically.
The PHP should be unobtrusive and in context to the HTML. I
prefer embedded PHP as opposed to echo’d HTML except for things like loops etc.
where it would be obvious to use PHP to generate HTML.
 
Notes:
The function $u->perms() allows for a sequence of perms -
$u->perms(“OFFICE_MAMANGER”,”ADMIN”) etc..
Consolidate these please.
The biggest issue with the user and company edit is the
insane permissions mishmash. Try and make this coherent.
 
Also- again, the render.inc file should be used in the
context of a valid html page i.e. in the body.x (inclosed in the header tags)- not in the work.x file.
(redacted)is full of crapped out HTML and I don’t want that to be
the case in the (redacted) portal.
All the pages you render should be perfect HTML.
 
Ideally I want to re-factor and use (redacted) code but the
over-riding concern should be for a tight application that never breaks.
 
Matt

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] New PHP Installation

[matt d. <mm_...@ya...>]

Use- 

LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache2.dll"

And you need to tell Apache which files it should send to the PHP processor.
All files ending in .php will be parsed by the PHP dll before Apache sends to the client.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

I'm trying to install Apache/PHP/MySql on my computer (Windows XP) strictly for development purposes.  I installed Apache 2.2.14 and it appears to be working fine.  I get the "it's working" page at http://localhost/

I then installed PHP 5.3.0 but .php pages aren't being recognized.  I've been reading through support Apache and PHP support pages with no luck.  I tried follow instructions below from the PHP install.txt file:

You should add the following lines to your Apache httpd.conf file:

Example 2-3. PHP as an Apache 1.3.x module

This assumes PHP is installed to c:\php. Adjust the path if this is not
the case.

For PHP 5:
# Add to the end of the LoadModule section
LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache.dll"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I inserted the following line but Apache didn't like it.  Apache won't restart when it's there.

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] New PHP Installation

[junkmail <jun...@2z...>]

Unfortunately windows has been my platform of choice for many years and 
I've battled this issue across many versions of php and apache. Your 
problem is that you are following Apache 1 instructions for apache 2. 
You need to be concerned with the apache2 DLL files. Try adding these 
lines to your apache.conf file:

-----------------------------------------------
# For PHP 5 do something like this:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/php"
-----------------------------------------------

FYI,  go to your start menu > All Programs > Apache HTTP Server 2.2 > 
Configure Apache Server > Test Configuration
This will give you a more detailed error message about why apache will 
not start, which might point you in the right direction

If you can't get it, keep posting, I'll get you up and runing

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] New PHP Installation

I'm trying to understand the config snippet you posted.  Do you have
the file path enclosed in quotes?  I've not installed PHP on Windows
in a long time, but it seems that a file path with a space in it might
cause trouble.  Just a quick thought.
