PHP - Testing Php Site

Can someone give me a simple socket script that I can copy and paste.
It can return anything you like. I just want to make sure I have a working socket connection, and if not then you can maybe help me fix it.

Just wanted some general advice/guidance,

I know there are plenty of articles and tutorials online about unit testing, but I just wanted to get a first hand perspective off of some of you guys...

What are some real world examples of actual PHP Unit Testing?

Also any unit testing frameworks you can recommend?

Apologies if this has been covered before.

HI - I'm trying to write an expression which tests the existence of a value within a POST variable. I have tried every which way ie isset, empty, ==0.00, NULL and yet I'm doing something wrong as nothing works. I hope you can help this student of PHP !  The expression is testing whether a price per lb exists ie the price of chicken per pound. But some products are not priced this way eg a jar of jam has no $pricelb[$i].  Here's some detail. The expression I am testing is:

Code: [Select]

if (!isset($pricelb[$i])){           // FIRST HALF FAILS
$ordervalue =  $price[$i];
$weight = '0.00';}
else                                       // SECOND HALF WORKS
$pricelb = $pricelb[$i];{
$weight = $weight[$i]; 
$ordervalue = $pricelb * $weight;




The $pricelb[$i] refers to an array of product weights coming off of the array $pricelb =  $_POST['pricelb'] which I then cycle through using a for Loop, hence $pricelb[$i].

Bottom  Line: if there is no pricelb then the then the ordervalue for the purchase is the same as the starting unit price.

Suppose I have 2 products on the order. One with a pricelb of 5 and one with none. Then I do print_r on $_POST['pricelb'] I get: Code: [Select]
Array ( [0] => 5 )  I.E. the second value is absent. YET, if I look into the DB table I see pricelb 0.00 for the second value  - very confusing !


MANY MANY thanks ! for all  your help !





 

I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out a simple problem.  I've got the following PHP code in an HTML page: 


$shutoff_date = strtotime($wkend_start_date) - 259200; 
if ($shutoff_date > $todays_date) 
{ 
$current_month = date("m");
$current_year = date("y");

$freshman_eligible = 0;
if ($current_month >= 2 && $current_month <=7) {
$freshman_eligible = 1;
}
if ($current_month <= 7) {
$seniors = $current_year ;
}
else {$seniors = $current_year + 1;
}

$juniors = $seniors + 1;
$sophomores = $seniors + 2;
$freshman = $seniors + 3;

echo "HTML Stuff blah, blah, blah";

if ($freshman_eligible = 1) {
echo "<option value=\"$freshman\">$freshman</option>";}
}




The last test to see if $freshman_eligible is equal to 1 is always testing true, and it's actually resetting $freshman_eligible to whatever I put inside the IF statement.  No matter what the variable is set to previously, it will reset to whatever I test for in the last section, and hence always tests true.

I thought maybe it was an issue with scope, but I'm not sure what the issue would be or how to resolve it.


What am I missing???

hi,

Hi have a web application www.prakhargoel.com/projects/lms/ that is used by students for logging and requesting a computer system in the internet lab. There is a corresponding labadmin at www.prakhargoel.com/projects/lms/labadmin.

Though I tried to make this web app as secure as possible, there might be some shortcomings in the security which could be used by hackers. Please analyse the vulnerabilities and tell where I need to improve. If anyone needs, I can provide the php code for further testing. I have:
1) applied sha1 encryption to all passwords.
2) timeout sessions
3) sql injection filters, etc

Hi,
I just integrate my website with paypal test account. It works fine.

I want to give the visitors to my site the option of setting certain preferences and remembering what was chosen from one visit to the next. They might have the choice of setting the backgrond colour of the web page or the font or whatever.   I've already written and tested code to write standard cookies that preserve their choices. However, I'm wondering if that's the best way or if there is a better approach. I don't want visitors to have to re-choose their preferences every time they arrive at the site, which would appear to be the result of using a session cookie stored on the server.   If standard cookies ARE the best solution for my situation, how can I test if the visitor has cookies enabled on their browser? I know that some people definitely don't enable cookies and I'm quite prepared to advise them that they won't be able to save preferences until they enable cookies. However, I first need to know how I can tell definitively if cookies are enabled.   Most of the simple code examples I've found by googling simply try to write a cookie and then try to read it; if both succeed, they think the they've established whether cookies are enabled. The more sophisticated examples, particularly those at stackoverflow, come closer but all of them seem to be critiqued by someone to the effect that they won't work in this or that particular situation.   Given how long cookies and PHP have been in existence, I have to believe that SOMEONE has figured out a definitive way of testing whether cookies are enabled that works in all reasonable circumstances.  Can anyone share that technique with me?

these are sections of my profile, just plain right now so easier for u to read:

Code: [Select]
$notes = 'notes';
$signature = 'signatures';
$friends = 'friends';
$middle=array ( "0"  => array ( "section" => $notes,
                                "hide" => "0",
                                       "c" => "apple"
                                     ),
                  "1" => array ("section" => $signature,
                                "hide" => "0",
                                       "c" => "apple"
                                     ),


                  "2"   => array ("section" => $friends,
                                  "hide" => "0",
                                       "c" => "apple"
                                     ),
                );

$order = array(2,1,0);
foreach ($order as $index)
{
  echo '<br>'.$middle[$index]['section'];
}
If the hide = 1 how do i hide a array in my foreach?

I am creating a quiz, with Multiple choice, true and false, and fill in the blanks questions. The first 2 types are working fine, and I am working on tesing the fill the blank questions... See code:

//QUESTION 9
if (empty($_POST["ix"])) {
		$ixErr = "Please select an answer.";
	} else {
		$ix = test_input($_POST["ix"]);
		// check if question only contains letters and whitespace
		if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]*$/",$ix)) {
			$ixErr = "Only letters and white space allowed.";
		else ($ix == "charming") {
			$score = $score+10;
			echo "<p>9.) " . $ix . " is correct.</p>\n";
			}
		else
			{
				echo "<p>9.) " . $ix . " is incorrect.</p>\n";
			}
		}
	}

First, I am testing to see if it is empty, if yes, display error, otherwise use the test_input function on the entered information. Then I want to test and verify that the entered data only contains characters and/or blank spaces, if that returns yes, then I want to test the content for the correct answer. But for some reason the code gets stuck upon testing for the correct answer, please note: I did try elseif, but same issue, please help, thank you.

So I built a tool for my cms a while back and have decided to share it.  The only 2 things that I know of that are similar in nature is phpmyadmin or sql buddy.  Now my tool is not nearly as in depth as either of those but what it lets you do is run any query string right from the webpage.  But the cool thing that it has over phpmyadmin and sql buddy is that it has buttons for many of the common commands and a ajax select to get the available column names for the selected table.  So now you don't have to try and remember what table had what column and "how did I spell that column again".   I use this to test sql strings for syntax and to quickly see if it returns the results I expect without having to edit the code and then save, upload or hit refresh or whatever.  Since all the the stuff is done via ajax, it's all quickly displayed and you can change the query immediately and hit the Run Query button again.   I just thought that this could be helpful and useful for others.  You can download it here http://amecms.com/ar...ckly-and-Easily

Hi, I'm a learning PHP developer, and I'm trying to work out how to connect and use an API provided by my goverment to the public. 

I have no idea how to set it up and test it, and I'm having a really hard time finding any help online.

The documentation mentions using a "simple" cURL request but I have no idea how that works either, and I would like ideally to be able to pull the data and turn into an SQL database where I know how things work a little bit better within PHP.

I would be really grateful if someone could explain how to connect and use this API with some simple code to get me started. There is a token, and a key involved so I would like to know how to verify myself for the API as well.

You can find the access to the API he  https://epc.opendatacommunities.org/login
and the documentation he  https://epc.opendatacommunities.org/docs/api/domestic

 

Many thankss

Let's say I have 1 table and 100 rows in this table. The table is simple and only contains an Auto Increment ID field and a load_count field.

I’ve got a colleague who was brought in as a testing specialist to help improve code quality and reduce bugs. I’ve done a little testing before, but am no means an expert.

When they joined I was really excited to learn from them as testing is definitely an area I lack experience.

He’s got good coverage and he writes tests for literally everything he does, but it’s something like 95% mocks as opposed to what I would call “black box” testing; testing the input and output. Does that sound reasonable?

As I say, I’m not an expert, but his testing strategy doesn’t seem particularly effective and it puts constraints over exactly how code is implemented rather than testing that things behave correctly.
