PHP - Open Source Projects

I have an open source project (https://github.com/j.../patchdashboard)   Here's my .htaccess for this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase "/pm/"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /patches/server/(.*)$ patch_list?server= [QSA,NC,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /packages/server/(.*)$ packages?server= [QSA,NC,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /search/exact/(.*)$ search?package=&exact=true [QSA,NC,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /search/(.*)$ search?package= [QSA,NC,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /rewrite_check/(.*)$ rewrite_check.php [QSA,NC,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ index.php?page= [QSA,L]

Basically, I want it so that no matter where they drop this script ("/", "/patch_dashboard/", "/pb/", etc.) it will redirect as intended.   In the example I provided, the document root is "/pm/". When I try to hit a page ("http://dev2.curltool...es/server/demo1" for example), it gives a 404.   If I hard code in each rule the base path, it just redirects everything to the main page.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi so i've been learning php for 3 mouth now by reading php 6 Bible and watching lynda and so on... i was looking for a job in few past weeks and i found out i don't have that kind of self confidence to go for it ! you know when they say : PHP Project Manager , it scar's me... the thing is , i know all about basic to medium php , array...MySQL....all those essentials but i don't know what do they want from a php web developer . so i began to search for intern job somewhere and i told myself i should bust my ass 24/7 for few mouth and after that i ll be real php guy and it seems like there is no place to reach not  php but almost all programming languages a year ago i was searching for the same thing but in networking section and there was 100's of intern ship jobs but in programming there is none ! so i want some one to give me (us) simple to pro real life projects . what do they want php junior or senior developer's for ? what do they do? what is the most common needs ? what is the most essential things to know? what is a hired php developer should do in the office? some people doesn't need you in the office and want you to work from home , they give you project's , what's that? is there any source in the web to offer what is need ? i know its too much , but this was my last option , so if anyone can help i would practically owe him/her my whole future salaries...

Is it okay to post projects for hire in here?

I have about a dozen small tasks I need done.

Hi, everyone.   I'm having some trouble finding tutorial projects for PHP Functions. Can anyone point me in the right direction if you know of any? I apologize if this is the wrong category to post in for my particular question.

Hello all. I'm looking to build a website in php that will be large in scope and I'm looking for some direction as to how to go about coding it. What I'm referring to exactly is the programming model. I'm new to the language, but not to programming, and I've read up on it and familiarized myself with the syntax over the past few days. Normally when I go about building a project I like to plan ahead how I'm going to build It so I don't run into tedious issues later on and this is what I need help with.   My concerns:  I am looking to use the alternative syntax for control structures as to make the php code inside my html readable and easier to manage but in terms of OOP when is it best for me to use classes vs functions?  I am leaning towards using both classes and functions. Classes to handle polling data, sanitizing it and storing it while the functions will be used , with the alternative syntax, to display the data. How should I go about properly setting my project assuming I will have many concurrent users using the website at once? Is using xml / INI files as a directory to look up information a good practice? Is it better to declare constant variables instead? When working with multiple includes is there an easier way to include a file than having to explicity write "dirname( dirname(__FILE__) )" everytime?   I'm essentially looking for guidance / tips as to good programming practices with this language Advanced practices are welcomed as well.     Development Tools: XAMPP ( Windows 7 Pro ) PHPStorm    Current directory structure plan:   Here is what I currently have:     The API class is a collection of functions that returns an object to be used at a later data.

I must confess, I've not really done much unit testing at all in the last 3 years. Can anyone give me an idea of what they would test and why that would be faster or more efficient than running the code as a user?

One area I can see it having huge benefits is when I'm testing methods which interact with a database, like user registration, which I would probably test by registering several times - fixing any bugs, making amendments and repeating. Ok, so I kinda sold the idea to myself there

But, what about for small applications? I've seen people testing whether a variable is countable...why would I not just check the output immediately?

Appreciate any advice.

Hello,   Can you guys point me to something where I can follow some tutorial or something and learning CI?  I've already made tons of 'Cars' models... 'Dogs' .. 'Cats'.. etc but I really need some project where I can follow steps to creat and learn while I create.    p.s. I think I post this thread in right place but please correct me if is wrong.   Thank's!

I'm trying to open a URL using fopen() and I keep getting this error:
Code: [Select]
Failed to open stream: Permission deniedI can not work out what is wrong, it's not a firewall as far as I can tell.

Not to say that this occurs in every php software out there, but I far too occasionally notice that the application is written with scattered php open and close tags, for instance

<?php if(true) ?>
<?php { ?>
Blah blah blah, because it's true
<?php } else { ?>
because it's not true
<?php } ?>

To me, it is extremely irritating.   Regardless, I see a lot of open source software written this way and I can't help but think that there must be some underlying reason for it.  Magento, for example, is written exactly in this manner.  The templates are infested with these opened and closed php snippets.  Obscurity is not security so I'm ruling security reasons out.  Maybe it is more efficient? -- But I couldn't understand why, if so.  It seems like that would put more of a drag on the system itself causing php to start and stop parsing continually and excessively, then again, I'm no expert in the field of memory consumption and other operating system complexities.   Honestly, in my opinion, it is stupid.  i would never write a program that way..   HEREDOCs are much more useful and eye pleasing than that awful <?php { ?>   I had the misfortune a few months ago when I purchased an invoicing/customer maintenance system that I didn't know was written for PHP 5.2 or something lower, one that allowed short tags; and thus short tags were used in the same manner as I've described.   Is this just plain disorganization or is there some deep-seated inner lining advantage that I'm not aware of?

Not wanting to 'hijack' another thread, but curious about the error of my ways.

Why specifically (and very very clearly as I am OLD fart and totally self taught in php/mysql), why will this not suffice to determine form where POSTED data came?


page 1 - form
start session
create and store a hashed session variable 'who_is_it' (ie hash 1Q9zFrEd)

Hi all,

I'm new to php (and the forum) and I'm trying to figure out something I feel should be relatively easy but can't figure out.
I am wanting to parse the source of multiple web pages to get a list of classes. Here is what I've kind of tried to follow, with the help of the internet:

Code: [Select]
$buffer = file_get_contents("http://catalog.utk.edu/content.php?catoid=5&navoid=386&cpage=1");
$regex = '/ something something /';
preg_match($regex,$buffer,$match);
var_dump($match);
echo $match[1];
}

I'm trying to extract the course number and name from part of the source that looks like this:

Code: [Select]
<td width="15">&#160;&#160;</td>
<td width="100%">&#8226;&#160; <a href="preview_course_nopop.php?catoid=1&coid=32666" onClick="showCourse('1', '32666',this, 'a:2:{s:8:~location~;s:8:~template~;s:28:~course_program_display_field~;N;}'); return false;" target="_blank">ACCT 200 - Foundations of Accounting</a>

</td>
</tr>

Now, here's the thing, beside the fact that I can't use regex properly, I want to be able to put this into a loop for multiple courses per page of source. I am pretty fluent in c++, but this is throwing me for a serious loop (pun intended)

As a side note, I want to be able to do this for multiple pages as well, the only thing that changes in the page URL is the page=# part, so would it be possible to automate it for all 33 pages?

Thanks for any help.
