PHP - Function Question

I need to create a function that lists subfolders of a given folder, that contain at least one .txt file.
I found the following function, which displays a list of file that match a pattern in a directory tree:

function find($dir, $pattern){
$dir = escapeshellcmd($dir);  
$files = glob("$dir/$pattern");  
foreach (glob("$dir/{.[^.]*,*}", GLOB_BRACE|GLOB_ONLYDIR) as $sub_dir) //look in subdirectories
{
$arr   = find($sub_dir, $pattern); //recursive call
$files = array_merge($files, $arr); // merge array with files from subdirectory  
}  
return $files;  
}  
$txtFiles=find("project/sys","*.txt");
foreach ($txtFiles as $txtFile)
{
echo '<h2>'.$txtFile.'</h2>'; //display all text files
}


My question is, how do I change the function to return only folders that contain at least one text file. But, the functions should look inside child folders of "project/sys" and list a child folder only once if that folder or any of its child folders contain at least one text file.

I'll give an example of the output I'm looking for:
Folder list
project/sys/diagram
project/sys/bin
project/sys/scripts
project/sys/styles
project/sys/meta

The above folders may not contain a text file directly, but their children folders do. However, I'm not interested in their children folder and I want to list the above level folder only once for each folder.

Thanks in advance

When you use the sleep function in a script, will the script resume from that exact spot? I guess what I need to know is will it break an upload to MySql database of a csv file or will the whole file be uploaded?

Thank All

Cant get it to work!!


here is the code , how do i fix this?

Code: [Select]
<script type="text/javascript">

function popup(var) {
alert(var);
}

</script>



<?php $calendar.= "<td class='calendar-day'><div style='position:relative;height:100px;' onclick='popup('hello')'>"; ?>

Hello, all: I'm a newbie and I'm trying to understand the whole php security thing a bit better, and found this function that seems easy to implement, as well as easy to understand... my question is...

Does this means I could use regular $_POST, $_GET, $_COOKIE, $_REQUEST variables without having to individually worry about escaping them every time I use them in queries... is this correct? or safe enough? see example below, along with how I'm using variable in a query...  it seems to be working fine, as it does echo out the \ escape character when I test it, or when I try to inject it...

Appreciate your input!


Code: [Select]
<?php

$_POST=sanitize($_POST);
$_GET=sanitize($_GET);
$_COOKIE=sanitize($_COOKIE);
$_REQUEST=sanitize($_REQUEST);

function sanitize($input){
if(is_array($input)){
foreach($input as $k=>$i){
$output[$k]=sanitize($i);
}
}
else{
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
$input=stripslashes($input);
}
$output=mysql_real_escape_string($input);
}
return $output;
}


// mysql query then I could use be:

$money = $_GET['money'];
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM countries WHERE currencies = '$money'");

 
?>

Imagine 6 PHP classes (one each for a product line), that have very similar coding structures, that go like this:

//function that computes stuff inside each of 6 files:
//they vary slightly from file to file but essentially it is this:
function computeFunction
{
    $this->x = new X();

    $this->x->calcD();

    if ($this->x->dOk)
    {
        $this->x->calcE();
        $this->x->calcN();   
    }

    //more complicated logic that is essentially like above

    //and by the way!
    print $this->x->someVarThatIsUsedLater;
}

Then there is a single class like so :

class X
{
    function calcD()
    {
        //compute some condition

        if (<computed condition is met>) $this->dOk = true;
        else $this->dOk = false;

        //and by the way
        $this->someVarThatIsUsedLater = 4;
    }
}

Just to bring your attention to it, none of these functions return any result or value, but they nevertheless operate on variables of key interest via side-effects.  That is, they modify variables that essentially act like globals, and then use those variables later ($this->dOk and $this->someVarThatIsUsedLater are one more prominent examples).   I need to untangle this mess.  And make it clean and clear again, and make sense.  How do I best proceed?   I have been wrestling with some ideas... like $this->dOk, can within reason be turned into a return variable of calcD() function, and then be tested against like if ($this->x->calcD()) and I think it will be reasonable enough.  But then there are other functions that don't return anything and just act on variables via side-effects anyway so $this->dOk is one of the lesser troubles...   Other than that, what I am thinking of doing is getting rid of these mini-functions (calcE(),  calcN(), etc.), removing them as a funciton, and putting their body directly into the code, as a first step to refactor.  Many of the computations done inside are just a few lines of code anyway, and the functions kind of hide a lot of side-effects that happen, instead of actually encapsulating the behavior.  So while it may be counter-intuitive to dismantle the functions that appear to be doing something that normally can be encapsulated (computing key variables E, N, etc), I think dismantling them will actually clean things up as far as collecting all the side-effects inside a single parent function thereby making them more visible.   Caveat:  while doing so I will end up with 6 copies of untangled dismantled functions, because dismantling class X and putting its content into each of the 6 product line classes will have that effect.   But my hope is that from that point I will see more clearly to start identifying places where I can start to truly encapsulating the behavior via various structures, instead of masking it.   Problems / Questions: I would like to but I am not entirely sure that I can skip that step of dismantling functions & the 6x multiplying effect. It's probably the same like skipping steps in solving polynomial equations.  Some can do it and some need to list each step of their work. And I am not entirely sure what structures I can replace it with in the end after I dismantle the functions. It also looks like a lot of work.  Is there a better way? P.S. I already put tests on computeFunction() for each product line so I can be less paranoid about hacking stuff up.

I can call the following function successfully as a single php program

  // Acknowledge and clear the orders
   function ack($client, $merchant, $id) {
         $docs = array('string' => $id);
         $params = array('merchant' => $merchant, 'documentIdentifierArray' => $docs);
         $result = $client->call('postDocumentDownloadAck', $params);
         return $result;
         }
with

   $result = ack($t, $merchant,'2779540483');

successful output

    [documentDownloadAckProcessingStatus] => _SUCCESSFUL_
    [documentID] => 2779540483

I'm trying to figure out how to call this function as an object from another program.

Trying the following gives error  ***Call to a member function call() on a non-object***

  function postDocumentDownloadAck($t, $merchant, $id) {
     $this->error = null;
     $docs = array('string' => $this->id);
     $params = array('merchant' => $this->merchant, 'documentIdentifierArray' => $docs);

 **  I've tried the following which does nothing
     $result = $this->soap->call('postDocumentDownloadAck', $params);

** I've tried the following   -  which gives error "Call to a member function call() on a non-object"
     $result = $this->t->soap->call('postDocumentDownloadAck', $params);

     if($this->soap->fault) {
        $this->error = $result;
        return false;
     }

     return $result;
  }


***

calling program snippet for above function
   $merchant= array( "merchant"=> $merchantid, "merchantName" => $merchantname, "email"=> $login, "password"=> $password);
   $t = new AmazonMerchantAPI($merchantid, $merchantname, $login, $password);
   $documentlist= $t->GetAllPendingDocumentInfo('_GET_ORDERS_DATA_');
   $docid = $documentlist['MerchantDocumentInfo'][$i]['documentID'];
   $docs = array('string' => $docid);
   $ackorders = $t->postDocumentDownloadAck($t, $merchant,$docs);

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong are greatly appreciated.

Hello all, I have some piece of code that is nested like this


$variable = 'This is a global argument';
function parentFunction($variable) {
function childFunction() {
echo 'Argument of the parent function is '.$GLOBALS['variable'];
}
childFunction();
}
parentFunction(5);


What I want to know is - Is there a way to access a variable from the parent function without passing arguments to the child function? (Something like how classes have parent::?). I don't want to use $GLOBALS because it might cause some variable collision, and I didn't want to pass arguments because incase I decide to change the arguments in the parent function I'd have to do it in the child function aswell. From my searching around in the Internet it seems like this is not possible, but if theres a slight chance that there might be something out there, i'm willing to give it a shot .

Thanks in advance

Question 1) Is the only and proper way to call a parent function "parent::function()"?  Are there other/better ways from within a child function?

Question 2) What are the deciding factors for when to make a function or attribute static?  How do you make that decision?  Assuming 5.3...

Thanks.

I need to call usort from a class function, and I'm puzzled about how to define the comparison function.

I've tried to define the comparison function in the same class, but I can't get usort to call it. I found one hint that it will work if I make the comparison function static, but I tried that, and it didn't work for me.

If I define the comparison function outside the class, it won't have access to object properties that it needs to operate.

The only solution I can think of is to define the comparison function outside the class and put the object properties it needs in globals. Is there a cleaner way to do this?

I have this function completely written in my class file that I am working on.  The point to this function is to be able to check the login of a user or administrator for either of the control panels associated with my site.

It will check the session intime as well as the page / module referenced.  Once it passes all those checks, it will check and ensure the emailaddress/password stored in the current session still holds true and the account is still active...  if the account is still active it will update the lastActivity as well as update all of the session variables with what is currently in the database.

What I am looking for is basically a look at the function, see if it looks good..  If there is any part to it that could create security holes for the site just off the login function itself...

Usage: $q->validUser($_SESSION['user'], $_mod);

<?php
 function validUser($sess, $p) {

if ($sess['inTime'] == '' && $p != 'login' && $p != 'logout') {
session_destroy();
$login = '0';
$_int = '';
return $login;
} else if ($sess['inTime'] < time()-3600 && $p != 'login') {
$sess['inTime'] = '';
session_destroy();
$this->check_login($sess, $p);
} else {
$this->user = $sess['emailAddress'];
$this->pass = $sess['password'];

$login = $this->sql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE emailAddress = '".$this->user."' AND password = '".$this->pass."' 
   AND status = '1' LIMIT '1'");
if ($login = $this->sql_numrows($login) < 1) {
$sess['inTime'] == '';
session_destroy();
$login = '0';
} else {
// logged in, lets update the database for last_activity AND the session.

$this->sql_query("UDATE users SET lastActivity = '".now()."' WHERE
  emailAddress = '".$this->user."'");
$login = $this->sql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE emailAddress = '".$this->user."' AND password = '".$this->pass."' 
       AND status = '1' LIMIT '1'");
$login = mysql_fetch_assoc($login);
foreach ($login as $key => $value)
{ 
$sess[$key] = $value;
}
$sess['inTime'] = time();
$login = '1';
}
return $login;
}
}

?>

That is the main function, sql_query and sql_numrows is:

<?php
function sql_query($query = "", $transaction = FALSE) {
unset($this->query_result);

if ($query != "") {
$this->num_queries++;
if ($transation == BEGIN_TRANSACTION && !$this->in_transation) {
$result = mysql_query("BEGIN", $this->db_connect_id);
if (!$result) {
return false;
}
$this->in_transaction = TRUE;
}

$this->query_result = mysql_query($query, $this->db_connect_id);
} else {
if ($transaction == END_TRANSACTION && $this->in_transaction ) {
$result = mysql_query("COMMIT", $this->db_connect_id);
}
}
if ($this->query_result) {
unset($this->row[$this->query_result]);
unset($this->rowset[$this->query_result]);

if ($transaction == END_TRANSACTION && $this->in_transaction ) {
$this->in_transaction = FALSE;
if (!mysql_query("COMMIT", $this->db_connect_id)) {
mysql_query("ROLLBACK", $this->db_connect_id);
return false;
}
}
return $this->query_result;
} else {
if ($this->in_transaction ) {
mysql_query("ROLLBACK", $this->db_connect_id);
$this->in_transaction = FALSE;
}
return false;
}
}

function sql_numrows($query_id = 0) {
if(!$query_id) {
$query_id = $this->query_result;
}
return ($query_id) ? mysql_num_rows($query_id) : false;
} ?>

Any insight that can help to benefit these functions would be appreciated.

I want to define a function instead of repeating query in all my php pages. I call a function by passing an $id value and from that function i have to get all the info related to that id, like name, description and uom.    I am trying to do this, but i dont know how to get these values seperately.   here is my function  

function items($item_id)
{
$details = array(); 
$result = mysql_query("select item_id, name, uom, description from items where item_id=".$item_id."") or die (mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$details[] = array((stripslashes($row['name'])), (stripslashes($row['uom'])), (stripslashes($row['description'])));
}
return $details;
}

and i call my function like this

$info = items($id);

Can somebody guide me in this    

When I put this chunk of code into it's own function:


function fetch_all ($dbc, $query) {

include ('knuffix_list_func.php');

pagination_start ($dbc, $query);

$offset = $pag_array[0];

$rows_per_page = $pag_array[1];

$query = $query . " LIMIT $offset, $rows_per_page";

echo "test query: " . $query;

knuffix_list ($query, $dbc);

pagination_end ($pag_array);
}


And when I echo out the query as you can see in the example, then I notice that the variables $offset and $rows_per_page never get appended.
I set the variable $pag_array to a global inside the function pagination_start(). It usually works when I DON'T wrap a function around this chunk of code, but if I do wrap a function around everything then the global suddenly won't work anymore.

Btw, this also won't work if I wrap a function around the function DECLARATIONS.

Any ideas, how I could make it work?

when in a form, I wish to build a conditional that if the response to a radio button is a value of 2 (female), it will display an input requesting for users maiden name. If not 2 goes to the next input statement.

Here is code I was experimenting with:


<html>
<body>
<form action="" name="test"  method='POST'>
<input type="radio" id="sex" value=1 checked><label>Male</label>
<input type="radio" id="sex" value=2><label>Femaleale</label>

    <?php
    $result = "value";
    if ($result == 2)
        echo "<input type='int' id='gradYear' size='3' required>";
        else
        echo "Not a female!"
    ?>

    <input type="submit" value="GO">
</form>
</body>
</html>


The code passes debug, however, Not a Female is displayed.

My question is - Can I do this and if so, what value do I test against id='sex' or value. I tried each one but gave the same results. I realize that $_POST[sex] would be used after the submit button is clicked. But this has me stumped.

Thanks for the assis in advance.

im using a function which connects to a db called 'comments' and then inside that function i again called another function that will connect to the db 'main' to get avatars.... but as i put Code: [Select]
mysql_select_db("main") or die(mysql_error()); on the new function, the original function stops to fetch rows.

i tried to remove "mysql_select_db("main") or die(mysql_error());" and used the new function to return some text only and it worked, so i guess the connection to the db was the problem... i tried doing Code: [Select]
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM  main.avatar
INNER JOIN main.list ON main.avatar.title=main.list.id
WHERE main.avatar.page_id='$id'"); but it also didnt work

Hi all, I want to call a javascript function from a php function like this:

        public function Buscar()
        {
            $HoraInicio = $_POST['edtHoraInicio'];
            $HoraFin = $_POST['edtHoraFin'];
            $FechaInicio = $_POST['edtFec1'];
            $FechaFin = $_POST['edtFec2'];

            $FechaMax = $FechaFin." ".$HoraFin.":00";
            $FechaMin = $FechaInicio." ".$HoraInicio.":00";

            $_GET["FechaMax"] = $FechaMax;
            $_GET["FechaMin"] = $FechaMin;

            echo $FechaMin;

            echo "<script language=javascript>alert('Hi.')</script>";
           
        }

but the function Buscar never show the alert but shows the $FechaMin

I hopu u guys can help me out with this probem

Thanks,
