Yeah, but you may be violating local laws and other stuff, if, for example, you are sending addresses, phone numbers, and other PII across the internet without SSL

That's all awful, yeah, but my scope here is small. I'm putting something together here for a family member who wants an online booking/contact system on the cheap for his personal business. He already has his godaddy hosting at an extremely low price.

Are these security concerns bad enough that I shouldn't proceed? Would it suffice to configure the remote connection as readonly? I don't expect that there's a great threat of cyber-espionage in the local roofing market.

if you don't want to use redis or some kind of job queue i'd just file_put_contents and file_get_contents it or something

Say I want the info for box1. How do I go about getting the full text, as in everything from "<Box0>" to "</Box0>" ?

I'm trying to read certain sections of a file.

The format for one file is something like:

----read file ---
<Box0>
<TimeIndex>0</TimeIndex>
<NumberSources>1</NumberSources>
<Source0>
<SourceType>CDF</SourceType>
<SourceCDF>
</Box0>

<Box1>
<TimeIndex>0</TimeIndex>
<NumberSources>1</NumberSources>
<Source0>
<SourceType>CDF</SourceType>
<SourceCDF>
</Box1>
----end read file ---


The box numbers could be upto 100 boxes per file.

Say I want the info for box1. How do I go about getting the full text, as in everything from "<Box0>" to "</Box0>" ?

Any help or point in the right direction is appreciated.

You don't actually want to do this. You have XML data - you want to use an XML parser, which will provide you with a more appropriate view on the data than trying to process it as raw text.

Experto Crede posted:

preg_match('#<Box0>(.*)</Box0>#s', $xmlstring, $output);

stoops posted:

Jabor, you are correct on the xml. I'm using cakephp so I ended up using their XML parser.

Experto Crede, the preg match was exactly what I needed.

Thanks, both

Which version of Cake are using by the way?

We're still using 2.6.7 at work, with no down time right now to try out version 3+, and compare any other modern frameworks.

Anybody know how to define a column as timestamp in Laravel?

ie. I have updated_at, created_at, and a third column which I also want Laravel to know is a timestamp (so that when I call find() on the model I can specify timezone on the carbon object)

revmoo posted:

Of course it's under 'soft deleting'. haha thanks

I've seen code like that before in instances where the function never used to be pass-by-reference, and was changed to be pass-by-reference to save memory.

Splinter posted:

Just to clarify, In the top example, the array doesn't end up getting copied due to the return/assignment?

revmoo posted:

Any time i see pass-by-reference code outside of something like a framework my spider sense goes off.

I'm looking to make Logging easier for my team to use. We're on Symfony2 and passing the logger into everything with DI is a real thorn in everyone's rear end.

We're using a single Monolog logger as a service. I'm thinking of creating a static singleton which gets the Monolog service via DI during boot, and uses the PSR-3 interface, so I'm not expecting any changes.
It'll act like a simple facade for the Monolog class, like this:

code:

final class MyShittyLogger
{
    protected static $logger;

    public static function setLogger($logger)
    {
        self::$logger = $logger;
    }

    public static function log($level, $message, array $context = array())
    {
        return self::$logger->log($level, $message, $context);
    }

    // ...
}

Can anyone think of a reason I shouldn't implement this? I have a nagging feeling I shouldn't, but I can't come up with an actual reason not to.
Most peoples complaints about static/singletons stem from issues with testing, but if we bootstrap the test framework to populate the logger with its own object, then I actually see this as a good thing. It'll let us see any alerts raised during the test execution, and we won't have to inject mocks for Monolog all over the drat place.

You can use the Discourse API (generate an admin token from the admin panel) to add a user to a group; grab /users/:username.json to get their user_id, then POST /admin/users/:userid/groups with the data group_id=(goongroupid)

To remove someone from group you can do a single HTTP DELETE /admin/users/:userid/groups/:groupid.

Can someone PM about Setting Up GoonAuth with Discourse?

The goon auth repo I am using is: https://github.com/LoneBoco/GoonAuth and we are running a Discourse as a forum. Our Goon Dev had some real-life complications and he had to bolt, so it has fallen on my lap to get this up and going, and I said yes because I can't say no to my goon-team and because I figure this would be a good opportunity to learn Laravel.

I have running Discourse of a docker image in a DO droplet. Discourse runs off its own PG db, and from what I have seen the GoonAuth uses LDAP (dunno why) and it should be able to use PG like the forums do. I have been taking a look at the configuration within the GoonAuth. Can GoonAuth run off NGINX or would it be better if it ran on apache2? Do I need to run the Auth from the same server I am running Discourse or can I run it on a separate server and just have ldap running on the server with Discourse?

These are probably stupid questions but I am trying to understand how this works... Some help and advise will be appreciated...

thanks!
