You can also try UltraEdit -- it's not free but very customisable, powerful, and really not expensive. At least it worths it.

If you just want a line count of the lines in a file and you are on a 
l/unix based system you could just use the wc command.....  All the 
other items you specified could be done with other GNU tools.  Maybe 
Cygwin will fit your needs?

[chiPHPug-discuss] Text Editors

[Roderick T. <tho...@ms...>]

For those of you who I haven't met . . .

I'm a novice programmer.  And I'm also an data analyst working in a 
restrictive environment for the State of Michigan.   This being the 
case, it's highly unusual for our Department of Information & Technology 
to allow us to install software that has not been pre-approved by a host 
of committees.   However, my recent duties require me to calculate the 
total number of records (rows) in text files in order to meet certain 
format requirements.  For this reason, I am in need of a text editor 
more advanced than Notepad or Wordpad--one that at least displays row 
counts.  Since a text editor of that sort has not been pre-approved, I 
have been granted permission to test open source editors to recommend as 
state-approved software.  Of course, I would like to take full advantage 
of this opportunity.  For my personal interests I would like to test 
editors that are also useful for PHP and MySql.  Java, Drupal, and other 
platforms would be a plus.  But most importantly, for state business I 
would need features like sorting, searching, data manipulation, and 
other stuff based on certain unique formats.


For example, I may want to identify or count strings that look like these:

HD*as*01*286*441~
REF*zz*20090731***~
INS*1*20090701-20090731*y*x*04~

Thanks.  Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

[chiPHPug-discuss] [JOB] PHP5 Developer – Telecommute – 50k to 60k/year

[<be...@op...>]

My client has a small business specializing in e-commmerce
software/solutions for small/medium sized businesses. They’ve spent
last 3 years working on a ground up rewrite in OO PHP5, MySQL5, Ajax
(Jquery), Smarty, etc.  They have had live customers for over a year now
but have not officially released the application yet.  

They are looking for someone to take over as the head developer
basically.  They need to be good with both "under the hood" type of
stuff (lower level framework) as well as UI/AJAX, etc.  They are looking
for someone that has a deep ecommerce background primarily. Someone that
has been involved in large scale products, not just projects.  Someone
that has drive, can work without direct supervision, can bring good
ideas and vision, help manage others when need, etc.  It would be a plus
if they are savvy in FreeBSD (compiling kernels, lighttpd, MySQL,
benchmarking, etc), but not a requirement.  

This is a 100% telecommute, full time job paying $50,000-60,000 per
year.  There are no benefits at present, but that might change in the
future.  My client is physically located in Boston, MA and if you lived
nearby for occasional meetings, it would be a plus, but not required. 
You can reside anywhere in the USA. 

Candidates should have held full time positions for 2 or more years. No
“job-hoppers” please.  Strong command of English a MUST since most
communication will be done via telephone, email, Skype, etc.  

Candidates should be well-versed in OO PHP 5, MySQL, UI and AJAX and
have a deep e-commerce background. 

When applying, please write up a paragraph or two highlighting your
experience as it pertains to this job description and include your

Our Chicago User Group is one of 5 that has been awarded a FREE pass
to ZendCon, as well as a discount (unknown amount) for anybody who
shows up for the raffle for same.
http://zendcon.com/
The conference fee is $945, so this is a Very Big Deal!
Rub shoulders with the big names in PHP.

We need to have a meeting for this!

It can be a very brief meeting, preferably starting a bit late-ish, so
I can get there from Schauburg by leaving work "early"...

Any particularly good date coming up?

Of course, a *longer* meeting with an actual topic/speaker would be
most welcome!

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] ISO entry level coder

[Walter T. <php...@to...>]

Quoting Neil Young <ny...@as...>:

> Wow - entry level pay, long hours, weekends, working on legacy VB and
> MS Access...

Yep, that just about sums it up.

But then my last gig was mid grade pay (I'm a veteran of 16 years  
development), long hours (10 to 14), weekends (yes both days), but it  
was PHP OO 5.3.x. And when the app was done I was handed my hat. So  
much for the "job".

No, but there is a K-Mart!

No, I just wanted to be frank and honest about expectations.

Too many times I've been promised "casual environment, great benefits,  
exciting work" only to find out the "casual environment" is a dirty  
basement (therefore the "casual" clothes; the "great benefits" turns  
out to be the checks only bounce every few months; and the "exciting  
work" is from watching the strippers come to work across the street.

Yes, this is a job, a paying job. Yes, we have a "casual environment"  
(no, not a dirty basement), but (I think) a bit too casual; shorts and  
flip flops are a bit pushing it. As for benefits: holiday, vacation  
and sick time (and the checks don't bounce). Period. But that will  
change as we grow the operation. (Have to start somewhere). As for  
"exciting work"; well maintaining the original VB code will be as  
thrilling as golf on a rainy day, but we are in the planning stage of  
a new, multi-channel operation to handle the business we have in the  
pipe line. So in that regard, it will be exciting; designing and  
developing a green field system. At least, I think that is exciting.

> Has the PHP dev market descended to the point that companies no longer
> have to make jobs sound interesting?

Have you been reading the ads for jobs lately? Yes, the PHP, and the  
web in general, has descended that low and even lower. It's a race to  
the bottom. How much can an employer ask for (large skill set and  
years of experience) and how little can they pay for it.

I was offered a "senior" position ("best resume I've seen!") at  
$17.50/hr. And he even said he raised that by $3 because of my  
experience. Needless to say he was stunned when I declined.

Body shops are not paying more than $30 to $40/hr. At $40 an hour,  
after taxes and medical insurance (I have a family, I need that), you  
keep about $18.00. Meanwhile the body shop is getting $100 or more. I  
can't pay mortgage on that, let alone feed 3 teenage boys.


> Does he want to get someone who really wants that job or just someone who

What I'm looking for is someone who wants a development job; wants to  
learn what it is really like in a development shop; learn how to do  
boring maintenance work but also learn how to design and architect a  
new system from the ground up.

No way to solve the "waiting for greener pastures" kind of guy.

Anyway, no candy coating. This is the way it is.

[Neil Y. <ny...@as...>]

I appreciate the job opportunities too.  I was really just trying to 
make a helpful suggestion to the OP that he may want to mention 
something good about working there, beyond just you can make some $$$.  
Perhaps, casual environment, great benefits, exciting work, or 
something...  Has the PHP dev market descended to the point that 
companies no longer have to make jobs sound interesting?  Does he want 
to get someone who really wants that job or just someone who will take 
the position to pay the bills for the moment until things turn around?

Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] ISO entry level coder

[Anacreo <an...@gm...>]

I believe he did mention it is a paid position.  I appreciate the job
opportunities via this board, and I'm sure some of my buddies in the
10% unemployment or grads who can't get work will appreciate this as
well.

[chiPHPug-discuss] ISO entry level coder

[Walter T. <php...@to...>]

I have an opportunity for an entry to mid level php coder, and if you  
have some VB.NET behind you, even better.

"We" have a VB app (the last guy built) and will be migrating to PHP  
"real soon now" ! ;)

I'm looking for:
  * PHP 5.x OO, must have (are you reading up on 6?)
  * mySQL is a must (don't need a DBA, but must be able to spell SQL)
  * Javascript OO would be nice (lot of front end stuff)
  * VB would be great (so we can still patch "the old horse")
  * Access would be nice (don't ask, I just got here!)
  * read and write college level English (you'd be surprised!)
  * accepts changes well
  * can turn on a dime
  * works long and hard (we average 50+ a week)
  * willing to pull weekends when it is needed (and it WILL be needed)

If your interested, or know someone who is, send me your/their resume  
and we can talk.

This is an on-site only position, near the Clybourn Metra station

Thanks

Does this work?

eval("?".">".$content);

I have a web templating system similar to what you described and that's how
I do it there.

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

first let me say this is very bad and you are going to have to be 
EXTREMELY security focussed with that setup.

but here is a slow, painful hack that will be easy to implement:

1) fetch html/php string from DB (is it stored with slashes, escape 
entities, etc?).

2) write string to tempfile

3) call include on tempfile

slow and ugly but easy to implement

That doesn't appear to work (for me anyway).

would you just echo the returned value of the function?

How are you using eval? echo eval($code)?
I would say code in a database is never a great idea unless you enjoy mysteries.

Subject: [chiPHPug-discuss] PHP Code in a string

Here's the situation.  I'm designing a database based page generation system
for my website.  That is, HTML and possibly PHP code is stored in a MySQL
table as raw text.  A query will pull the text out of the table and render
it as HTML and PHP.  It renders the HTML, but it won't render the PHP Code
(it appears in my source code when I "view source" in my browser).

I have tried the "eval()" command, but that doesn't seem to work.  Any
thoughts?  Thanks much,

I use preg_replace_callback with evaluate_php as the function to replace the
PHP code within the text.
I modified evalutate_php a little bit to be a little more straightforward. I
removed the first line: $php = $php[1];
