Gnack posted:Ah okay, thank you. I did wonder if that's what he was getting at. I was hoping to avoid that but it makes sense so I think I'll go for that approach. Thanks both of you. Sorry, I was suggesting that functional programming makes things easier to test.  isLocked() probably does't make sense to take any parameters, but return a boolean based off some property on the object. Having a getter/setter for date would help. Basically, php:<?
// Create a date that's in the future.
$date = new Date(time() + 3660);
$mock = new MyMatchClass();
$mock->setMatchTime($date);
$this->assertTrue($mock->isLocked());
// Subtract enough time to be in the past, and set matchtime
$date->sub(DateInterval::createFromDateString('4000 seconds'));
$mock->setMatchTime($date);
$this->assertFalse($mock->isLocked());
?>

PlesantDilemma posted:Anyone written an Excel file using PHP and have a recommendation on a library to use? This PHPExcel is my best find but I thought I would ask here too. Depends on your needs. If you're making some kind of complex spreadsheet with calculations and cell references and what have you, it'll work just fine. There's a big fat stack overflow answer with alternatives, but PHPExcel is often the go-to library in my experience. That said , PHPExcel tends to eat around 1kb of memory per cell, last time I used it, which is obviously a big problem if you're trying to say, export 100 columns and 10000 rows of data. Alternately, if you're just exporting craploads of tabular data, you can just create a blank HTML doc with a table in it containing your data, and name it .xls. Excel will pick that up, complain about the formatting, then open it. It sounds like a hacky workaround, butit's surprising how many systems make use of this trick to get around working with the xls format. An additional advantage is you can process say, 10 rows at a time and output the content to a file, so unlike PHPExcel you don't have to have the entire file in memory, which lets you output as much data as you need.

We've been doing the html-as-fake-excel thing but customers complained because apparently Excel on mac wouldn't load the file. Or not load it correctly or something. The memory overhead sounds like a bummer but our reports aren't super huge so it should be fine. I'll have to add in something to track memory usage when I use it. Thanks for the tips I'll check out that SO post too.

I'm using Laravel for a project I'm working on and I'd like to start using LESS to make CSS a little easier to maintain. I'm wondering if anyone has some pointers on decent asset managers for Laravel that will take care of auto-compiling the LESS for me? Preferably I'd like it to autocompile the LESS to CSS whenever it picks up that the LESS file has changed.

I haven't found a good asset manager for Laravel yet, but I've gotten pretty good results setting up a watcher and some build tasks with Gulp (formerly with Grunt, but I find Gulp a lot easier to work with). Here's a quick overview, and a more in-depth video tutorial. If you mean a PHP-only LESS compiler, the only one I know of is lessphp. It's functional enough, but slow. Not an ideal solution.

You might want to look into using Foundation with Sass and Compass. I know you wanted LESS, but Sass is hard to beat (Bootstrap was also just released with Sass support as well giving some people the idea that Sass "won").

You can install Munee really easily with composer or just download it, and one php file and .htaccess rule later, you'll have it handling all your assets. Seriously worth checking out.

Oh man I'm still partially at this stage at work because of various factors and it sucks (not the "stealing code" thing). I so wish I could scrap several aspects in our setup and workflow, and use actual tested and well maintained PHP frameworks for projects.

Yeah I'm in a real period of adjustment at the moment where I'm trying to catch up with some pretty serious shifts in the way web development works these days. All these libraries and utilities that used to be unnecessary but now have very genuine usefulness, and somehow I missed it all so now I'm catching up. I thought Composer would come and go, I thought Node.js would come and go, I thought SASS and LESS would always remain just kind of a niche thing. I suck at predicting the web is what I'm saying.

How do adults parse XML in PHP in the year 2014? I don't really have much experience in XML parsing in general, but recently I have done it in Java and C# semiautomatically by generating a class structure from schema. It was a surprisingly pleasant experience. Nothing similar for PHP immediately jumped forward when I googled for it, except for one apparently unfinished project. Well, now I'm going to have to interface with a web service that both inputs and outputs XML. So I need something to generate valid XML for making requests and I need to parse the response to get the data I requested. Looking at SimpleXML, that looks painless enough for generating simple requests. I might be able to live with that. But processing incoming XML with, say DOM, sounds potentially lovely. I can probably live with that as well if need be, but if there are better options, I'd like to hear about them at least. late edit: Looks like I misunderstood SimpleXML's purpose. I thought it was meant for encoding data into XML, but looks like it also parses XML. Well, I'm going to try that for now and see if I run into some massive problems.

Guzzle can output SimpleXML and probably you could extend guzzle to use DOM. If you need to validate with a schema than I think DOMDocument works better.

It also depends on the size and complexity of the document. SimpleXML gets funky when the XML has, oh, I dunno, attributes. And gods help you if there are namespaces! While the XML parser functions will do a fine enough job, they're kind of annoying to deal with. Also, take every bit of code in the comments on the xml_parse page with a tablespoon of salt. Yikes. There's also XMLReader, which is a pull parser, designed for large document reading without huge memory use.

I don't know if its because im sick as a dog and my eyeballs feel bruised or if im missing something obvious but i feel like an idiot, i cant get simplexml to output the text string it would dump into the xml file. As in, i need to save a copy as an xml and a copy in the database and strip the xml tag (i.e. Versioning and document declaration) as well. No matter how i manipulate it, or output and try to re read the file line by line (not using simplexml), it only ever gets the values of the content. What am i missing? I know its not a common need and i probably don't need to strip the declaration but why am i having such a hard time transforming an xml document or simplexml object into a simple string?

I'm looking for a little help with regex, I'm working on fun little script that is parsing my video files and pulling down information from a movie database. To make it easy to determine an accurate name based on the filename, I have some regex that works great from the command line but not so great with preg_match or preg_replace... I'm trying to insert a space before all capital letters and the first number in a sequence. Look at the example below. echo 'ChroniclesOfRiddick or LethalWeapon3 or Dracula2000' | sed 's/\(\S\)\([A-Z0-9][0-9]*\)/\1 \2/g' Chronicles Of Riddick or Lethal Weapon 3 or Dracula 2000 How can I do this in PHP? I figured out how to split on capital letters, but I can't get the numbers to work as well. $new_title = preg_replace('/(?<!^)([A-Z])/', ' \\1', $title);

This seems to get the job done: $new_title = preg_replace('#(?<!^|\s)([A-Z]|\d+)#', ' $1', $title); Those "#" are used as delimiters. You can pick any character you want, so I usually opt for them rather than "/", so there's not as much escaping needed.

If you're looking for truly empty... https://github.com/phillipsdata/minphp It's what the billing software Blesta is built from. It looks good if you want nothing to start with. The documentation is lacking and it isn't great on the inline comments, but you can download the blesta trial and look at most of the source code to get an idea of how it all ties together. I decided on this for a very small project that just needed basic MVC functionality with a PDO wrapper.

I would avoid anything that doesn't use Composer. There's Slim and Silex for doing basic sites. What's your use case though? Sometimes the "big" frameworks are the right tool.

Probably just a non-erroring typo or something similar. It doesn't help anybody else because it's a project-specific fuckup and by leaving the original post it can skew future searches that hit on the keywords. That's why I removed mine half a page up, I had a problem with something or other that just boiled down to a misnamed folder caused by reading the wrong lovely tutorial.

I'm doing a web site for some friends of mine and most of the important data will be stored in an SQL database. I set up a password-protected page so they could enter data in the DB and send files to the server and I'm wondering how secure it has to be and if the authentication scheme I used is a horror; bear in mind this is the first time I try such a thing. So the way I did it is they have to go to a "not public" page (i.e. no link to it from the front site) , input a username and password which are sent as POST to the target page. If the (sanitized) passwords match it echos the form to add data to the server, otherwise it echos nothing. It feels secure to me as first you have to know the login page even exists, second even though the login information is in the php files, if I turn error reporting off it seems like there'd be no way for an attacker to even know what variable names he has to POST the protected page, much less what values they have to take. Am I underthinking this? I couldve stored the password as hashes in the DB but it didnt really feel necessary cause only 3 people will be using this.

Currently I am using wamp on a windows machine and have kohana up and running for one site. I would like to deploy another site which is completely separate and uses a different copy of kohana. To do so I added file structure and deployed kohana as follows +wamp ++www +++site1 ++++kohana +++site2 ++++kohana Currently my apache httpd.conf listener is as follows Listen 0.0.0.0:80 And my hosts file in the windows directory is set up as 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 site1.localhost 127.0.0.1 site2.localhost Currently when I go to localhost it will go to site1.localhost. Or if i go to site1.localhost it will go to site 1. If I go to site2.localhost the application will redirect to site1.localhost I am very new to PHP/Kohana so this may be a very basic issue, for that I apologize.

Set up apache to run vhosts. This way you can redirect a request to a different root folder depending on the domain name. It looks like this in your httpd/conf:code:Additionally, you don't need to put the sites under the wamp/www folder; you can direct it to anywhere. I've set it up to redirect to another folder for easier access to the code so I don't have to root around every time I want to make a change.
