Heya

I want to write a little script in php (as a
standalone script) to convert a text file to some
other format. I have just one problem: how can I send
commandline parameters to the script, or rather, how
do I access those parameters?
Example:
   php -q myscript.php param1 param2

I hope you can help
Thanks

If you could use query strings as you do when the program is invoked via
Apache or whatever, it would be

   php -q myscript.php?qp1="param1"&qp2="param2"

I don't know anything about standalone php so I'm guessing.

Hello,

I'm looking for a possibility to integrate s.th. like MS-Excel to the
web. I would like to use it for charts build of data-sets from
mysql-queries.

I think it might be possible with MS-server-components via com, but I am
using linux-servers - maybe it's possible with StarOffice via system-calls?

BTW, I found a nice class to write excel-sheets (write_excel, a
php-implementation of J. McNamaras perl-classes), but this class doesn't
support charts :(

Does anyone has an idea how to do such an integration?


Thanks,
André Temme

Hey all.  I'm new to the list.
Anyways, I think I'm a decent php programmer, but haven't done
much OOP.  I've done a few classes, but for all I know the design
of those classes may really suck.
I was wondering if you guys knew of any good classes or object
oriented
applications in php that would be good to study to learn how
to do good OOP design and to learn good OOP practices with
php in general.

Also if they're are any good books, or resources on the web on the
subject
I'd appreciate your suggestions.  I've read the few OOP articles on
phpbuilder.com
by the way.

Have a look at http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/, it is a quite well
designed OOP package with excellent documentation. You´ll also find an
arcticle about the pitfalls of OOP design in PHP on this site.

Another good package that uses OOP is HTML_OOH_Forms in PEAR, currently
available via cvs only (http://cvs.php.net/). There´s some documentation,
but in German only and a little outdated (http://www.ulf-wendel.de/).

You might also want to have a look at Binarycloud, which is a huge OOP
framework for creating enterprise-level applications in PHP. It still
lacks a lot of documentation and has been in a state of "we´ll be ready
for a first official release in a month or two" for the past two years
now (g), but it´s definitely worth a look if you want examples for good
OOP design in PHP. Oh, yes, the URL: http://www.binarycloud.com/

Hi, Markus and PHP List.

OOP is not a specific PHP issue.
It's a wide field of modern practices relating software development
(or software engineering).

PHP currently has some limitations (though not severe) in supporting OOP.
However, if you follow some rules, you can even pretend that a "sort of"
full support exists.

I think that it is more important to shape our minds for
a good OOP view of the problems, and corresponding solutions, than actually
worrying about specific implementation.

If one is able to do a good OOP analisys and design, it really
doesn't matter if you code your design in C++, Java or PHP.
That is only relevant in terms of your final purpose and environment
restrictions, intended time-to-market, team size, available tools,
and the like.

If you are interested in improving your skills in OOP, or are a
novice in OOP, try R.S.Pressman's site http://www.rspa.com/

They have a lot of resources, and also links concerning OOP topics
and Software Engineering practices in general.

There is also a very good book (my opinion) in Software Eng. and OOP,
wich I recommend to anyone interested: see
http://mcgraw-hill.co.uk/textbooks/pressman/index.html

If in your way through this matters you get addicted
to something known by UML - as I have got :) - , and want to make your own
diagrams try
ArgoUML that is a Java application free for WIN and Linux.

Yes, I am interested in understanding the philosophy of designing OOP
applications, not just how PHP implements it, because I know I'll
probably be doing OOP with other languages in the future like Python,
C++, maybe Java.

Btw, I downloaded jpgraph and am also checking out the links at
http://www.phpkitchen.com/index.php?topic=phpOO&page=1 ..  I've
already read 1 or 2 articles that were helpful.
I'll check out www.rspa.com as suggested below as well.

thanks all,

Hi Everybody,

I have been using PHP for a year now and am still developing my
skills at implementing it effectively. Also, I am thrilled to be a
memeber of this discussion group. Does anybody know of, or have a PHP
script for a Dealer Locator. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

William Scott

Hi,

that's an interesting aspect. I read a little about UML and things
like class diagramms seems to be useful to get an overview but I
didn't get into that 'use case' stuff. All examples in tutorials are
ok, but I really want to know whether advanced PHP/UML-programmers
are working with that diagramms (in real projects) or is that more an
academic exercise?

There's a couple here...
http://dknss.mirrors.phpclasses.org/search.html?words=xls&go_search=1

There's also an easy way to have Excel parse your data...

header ("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");

Follow it up with an HTML table, and Excel will open, and parse it
very nicely.  I know it works with Excel 97 and beyond, in IE4+, and
Netscape 4+.

Good Luck,

          As others have said, the concepts are important, not the language.

          I used to teach OOP at the college level. What's interesting is that
new programmers catch on very quickly and experience procedural
programmers have a had time adjusting.

          OOP is actually not about programming but rather about thinking.
Think of how things are the same, not how things are different. If you have
defined a circle object you have methods (functions) to calculate the
property (variable) circumference given the radius. You also have a method
to calculate the area. No suppose you want a sphere object. The insight
is to recognize that is sphere is a three dimensional circle. So you
extend the circle class. What is same? The method for calculating
the circumference is still the same but the method for calculating
the area is different. The extension of the circle simply redefines the
method to calculate the area.

          Let's look at another practical example. You have an application
that searches a list and displays the output. However, if the result set
is over ten you want to display the results in groups of ten and provide
the navigation to display the remainder of the results. Another
important brick in the though process is to look at a problem and
say "how can I solve this for a class of problems rather than just this
specific problem."

          Let's create a class with two methods, GetSearchResults() and
DisplayOneRow(). What do all database queries have in common.
Something like:
SELECT * FROM TableName
WHERE Series of where-clauses
LIMIT StartCount, SizeCount.

          If we pass GetSearchResult() the select statement (without the
limit clause, start-count and size count, We have generalized the
method.

          process inside will be something like:

    while($OneRow = mysql_fetch_array($Result)) {

}

          Within the while loop we have to deal with the associative
arry generated with the mysql_fetch_array() function. It will be
different for every table we want to process. So we call
DispalyOneLine() This method deal with the query for this
specific table.

          When we need search processing functionality in the futures
we need only start a query, determine how may items to diaplay,
start it at the desired point, and redefine the functions
DisplayOneLine() to deal with displaying the request for the new
table. It might be something like:

function DispalyOneLine(&$OutputDisplay,$OneRow) {
    extract($OneRow); # Transform array into named variables.
    $OutputDisplay .= "<P>$Title .....";
}

          and it's all done.

Hi,

No I don't think it to be an academic exercise.
I'm working in a real PHP project (private school management
software) in wich I will apply all those OOP ideas
that I think will improve the final product quality.
It is also my first OOP project, so perhaps I'm a little biased
with excitment :)

But usually I like to stay on middle-ground.

If you are working in web development, probably you have to
deal with tight schedules, so it won't be so worthing to spend
lots of time doing analysis and design in something that will change in one
year or two.
I think that extensive use of this techniques tend to put you away
from Rapid Develop (RAD) paradigm.

Trying to achieve a compromise between RAD and OOP can be of some use.

For instance, use-cases can give you a good help in achieving
a better user interface, with less features missing, and more
aspects totally covered from the begining.

In my case, I'm converting a jeopardized app written - by me, :/
- in VB. It became a little "working monster" because of size and
poor design (what design ?, after 15 days of design and more than
one year of coding work - there's no design at all; you should have about
80% of analysis & design and about 20% of coding time!).

  Now I am writing the app from the begining in PHP.

My goal is to reduce final bugs to 1/10 of the original app,
and to achieve a complete network project in one third of the time,
but maintaining the original features, and ensuring that final product will
be flexible and of ease maintainance (so I should be careful with design).

Because of the goal about reducing develop. time I will shortcut
my way in some aspects of OOP theory and UML, but if I were using
Java, (and I hope that will happen in about a year), I certainly
follow those guidelines very carefully.
I have read a lot about that, and they are well-proven good practices
in software development. Why questioning what others have worked so hard to
prove ?

Note also that tools like ArgoUML are also CASE tools, and their
availability can improve your speed in writing code, by generating
the skeleton code for your designs (more true when the language
syntax is more complex; so more true for Java than for PHP).

Have fun
João Dias

Hi,

that's an interesting aspect. I read a little about UML and things
like class diagramms seems to be useful to get an overview but I
didn't get into that 'use case' stuff. All examples in tutorials are
ok, but I really want to know whether advanced PHP/UML-programmers
are working with that diagramms (in real projects) or is that more an
academic exercise?

Hi,
         Perhaps the best way to think about design vs RAD, is to remember
that often code written for short projects get recycled into larger, more
complex projects over time.  For example, most of use have written
authorization log-in scripts for many small projects.
         Now if our large project is composed of such small, well tested
scripts, design is more a matter organizing the these scripts into a
coherent whole.  You can use something as simple as 3 X 5 file cards with
information on each snippet of code to help the process.  If, on the
other hand, a great deal of code will be new or if most of the snippets
will under go substantial changes, then at least 30% of the project
should be design/define allocated.  Whether you use functions as 'mass
includes' or organize your project into true classes, clearly defined
logical processes are less time consuming than finding the needles in the
haystack of rambling code.
         You'll be glad you took the time, five years from now, when you
resell a bunch of that 'good' code at market rate and all you have to do
is paste it together.

Hi,
it was just an impression of me. Maybe because most
workshop/tutorials dealing with classes don't use UML diagramms very
intensive.
Nevertheless I found a very interesting exception from a german
multimedia agency; they wrote an article about very sophisticated
form-classes they developed in PHP and they used all that UML-stuff
and it seems to be very straight and logic.

Source: (all in german language, sorry, but that is the only example
I know)
"Objektmodell zur Realisierung komplexer Formularabläufe" by
Kral/Vieth in: PHP IM EINSATZ, Geschke, Schotte (Hrsg): das Buch zur
International PHP Conference 2001

The annoying part of webdevelopment is it's cyclical behaviour: some
weeks full of work others being lazy. But that's nothing that could
be influenced by UML, esp when the deadline is near there will not be
much design. (Maybe the goal can be simpler: just eliminating that
cyclical bahaviour, not the absolut amount of developing time?)

I played with ArguUML a bit and the diagram part works fine: all
types of diagramms and I like that ToDoItem idea that helps avoiding
mistakes.

Or do I end up having to use endless if/else statements to get the job
done?

What I am trying to do is something like this...

do case
   case = index
     show index on screen
   case = aboutus
     show aboutus on screen
    case = etc.
     ...
endcase

Use the switch statement.

switch ($i) {
     case 0:
         print "i equals 0";
         break;
     case 1:
         print "i equals 1";
         break;
     case 2:
         print "i equals 2";
         break;
}

You can look into switch

switch (<some expression) {

     case 'case a' :

         break;
     case 'case b' :
