I am converting a php program over to VBScript for ASP. I am stuck trying to find a way to structure a multi-dimensional array and could use some help.
Here is how it sets up in the php version:
// $_SESSION[model name][level name][menu name] => [state]
$_SESSION[$model] = array('level_name' => array('menu_name' => array()));
and then here is how I set a value later on
$_SESSION[$model][$level_name][$menu_name] = array('menu_state' => 'UNCHECKED');
Here is what I tried in VBScript that doesn't work
Session(model).Add "level_name", Array()
Session(model)("level_name").Add "menu_name", Array()
Session(model)("level_name")("menu_name").Add "menu_state", Array()
and then try to set the value
Session(model)(level_name)(menu_name)("menu_state") = "UNCHECKED"
but I end up with the very helpful 500 Server Error.
Any ideas?
You need a Dictionary of Dictionaries:
Dim dicX : Set dicX = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set dicX("A") = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set dicX("A")("B") = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set dicX("A")("B")("C") = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
dicX("A")("B")("C")("D") = "WhatEver"
WScript.Echo dicX("A")("B")("C")("D")

Everyone, hello!
I'm currently trying to write to an .ini file from PHP, and I'm using Teoman Soygul's answer and code from here: How to read and write to an ini file with PHP
This works out great, although, when I save the data to it, it shows up strange in my .ini:
[Server] = ""
p_ip = "192.168.10.100"
p_port = 80
p_password = 1234
[Variable] = ""
string1_find = "Caution"
Most notably it also seems to see attempt to give the categories Server and Variable an empty value. Also, sometimes it saves the variable between consistency and sometimes not. How come there is no consistency here?
The code I'm using to find/post in PHP is this:
...
$a=array("[Server]"=>'',"p_ip"=>$_POST['pip'],"p_port"=>$_POST['pport'], "p_password"=>$_POST['pass'],
"[Variable]"=>'',"string1_find"=>$_POST['string1_find'],
...
If anyone could point me into the right direction, that would really be appreciated. Thank you!
You are not using right, you should be passing a multidimentional array instead:
$data = array(
'Server' => array(
'p_ip' => '192.168.10.100',
'p_port' => 80,
'p_password' => 1234,
),
'Variable' => array(
'string1_find' => 'Caution'
)
);
//now call the ini function from Soygul's answer
write_php_ini($data, 'file.ini');
Here is my output:
[Server]
p_ip = "192.168.10.100"
p_port = 80
p_password = 1234
[Variable]
string1_find = "Caution"
Notice that you need to create an extra array per new section and then you can start listing your custom definitions.
I am trying to use the tablesorter pager plugin with AJAX but run into som problemes (or limitations) when trying to handle the AJAX request in my php backend.
If eg. the table is set up with a default sorting of
sortList: [ [0,1], [1,0] ]
I will get a URL like this on my AJAX request:
page=0&size=50&filter=fcol[6]=batteri&sort=col[0]=1&col[1]=0
In my php back end I do a
$cur_sort = $_GET['sort']
and get
col[0]=1
So the last part is missing - I guess since it contains a & char.
How do I get the entire sort string?
That said how is the string col[0]=1&col[1]=0 best parsed? I need to extract the info that col 0 is to be sorter DESC and col 1 ASC.
You can try this;
parse_str($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],$data);
It will parse the url to an array;
Also; you should use empty [] instead of [1] and [0]
See more here: parse_str()
Example:
$str = "page=0&size=50&filter=fcol[6]=batteri&sort=col[0]=1&col[1]=0";
parse_str($str, $output);
echo $output['page']; // echo 0
And to answer your question; it is correct; is echoing col[0]=1 because you are dividing with & see here:
&sort=col[0]=1 & col[1]=0;
An advice; use more names, instead.
You could use
&sort[]=1&sort[]=0;
UPDATE:
To access the last one; you should do, simply;
$_GET['col'][1];
If you want to access, the last number in
$_GET['sort'];
You can do this;
$explode = explode('=',$_GET['sort']);
$end = end($explode);
echo $end; //it will outout 1
If you print your entire query_String, it will print this;
Array
(
[page] => 0
[size] => 50
[filter] => fcol[6]=batteri
[sort] => col[0]=1
[col] => Array
(
[1] => 0
)
)
I'm not sure how the ajaxUrl option is being used, but the output shared in the question doesn't look right.
I really have no idea how the string in the question is showing this format:
&sort=col[0]=1&col[1]=0 (where did sort= come from?)
&filter=fcol[6]=batteri (where did filter= come from?)
If you look at how you can manipulate the ajaxUrl option, you will see this example:
ajaxUrl: "http://mydatabase.com?page={page}&size={size}&{sortList:col}&{filterList:fcol}"
So say you have the following settings:
page = 2
size = 10
sortList is set to [[0,1],[3,0]] (1st column descending sort, 4th column ascending sort)
filters is set as ['','','fred']
The resulting url passed to the server will look like this:
http://mydatabase.com?page=2&size=10&col[0]=1&col[3]=0&fcol[2]=fred
The col part of the {sortList:col} placeholder sets the sorted column name passed to the URL & the fcol part of {filterList:fcol} placeholder sets the filter for the set column. So those are not fixed names.
If the above method for using the ajaxUrl string doesn't suit your needs, you can leave those settings out of the ajaxUrl and instead use the customAjaxUrl option to modify the URL as desired. Here is a simple example (I know this is not a conventional method):
ajaxUrl: "http://mydatabase.com?page={page}&size={size}",
// modify the url after all processing has been applied
customAjaxUrl: function(table, url) {
var config = table.config,
// convert [[0,1],[3,0]] into "0-1-3-0"
sort = [].concat.apply( [], config.sortList ).join('-'),
// convert [ '', '', 'fred' ] into "--fred"
filter = config.lastSearch.join('-');
// send the server the current page
return url += '&sort=' + sort + '&filter=' + filter
}
With the same settings, the resulting URL will now look like this:
http://mydatabase.com?page=2&size=10&sort=0-1-3-0&filter=--fred
This is my own best solution so far, but it's not really elegant:
if (preg_match_all("/[^f]col\[\d+]=\d+/", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], $matches)) {
foreach($matches[0] AS $sortinfo) {
if (preg_match_all("/\d+/", $sortinfo, $matches)) {
if(count($matches[0]) == 2) {
echo "Col: ".$matches[0][0]."<br/>";
echo "Order: ".$matches[0][1]."<br/>";
}
}
}
}
It gives me the info I need
Col: 0
Order: 1
Col: 1
Order: 0
But is clumbsy. Is there a better way?
I am having troubles converting a string which contains tab delimited CSV output
into an array. While using the following code :
$data = stream_get_contents($request->getShipmentReport());
I get back data as following:
Date Shipped Comments Feedback Arrived on Time
5/11/15 2 comment response Yes
Now I would like to process this data into an array with the returned headers(line 1) as the index containing the value for each line which follows after that.
I am trying to end up with something like this :
$line['Date'] = 5/11/15
$line['Shipped'] = 2
$line['Feedback'] = response
$line['Arrived on Time'] yes
What would be the best way to achieve this ?
I recommend using a library for handling CSV for example the CSV-Package by The League of Extraordinary Packages
You can pass your data and start working with array structures right away:
$csvString = stream_get_contents($request->getShipmentReport());
$csvReader = \League\Csv\Reader::createFromString($csvString);
$data = $csvReader->fetchAssoc(
array('Date', 'Shipped', 'Comments', 'Feedback', 'Arrived on Time')
);
// Or since line 0 contains header
$data = $csvReader->fetchAssoc(0); // 0 is offset of dataset containing keys
Now your data should be in a structure like:
$data = array(
array(
'Date' => '5/11/15',
'Shipped' => '2',
...
),
array(
...
)
);
You can even filter out specific datasets and all kinds of fancy stuff. Just check the documentation I linked to.
League CSV reader gives me a bad result. I use this instead:
$csvReportString = stream_get_contents($request->getReport());
$csvReportRows = explode("\n", $csvReportString);
$report = [];
foreach ($csvReportRows as $c) {
var_dump($c);
if ($c) { $report[] = str_getcsv($c, "\t");}
}
var_dump($report);
I'm writing a soap consumer in PHP for a ws written in Java (Jax ws). The webservice exports a function listRooms() that returns an array of the complex data type Room which contains an id (64 bit long) and a description (string). Now whenever I consume the webservice using SoapClient, the id is converted to float (as there are no 64 bit integers in PHP) and I want to avoid it. As I will need the room id to consume other web services I would rather avoid this implicit conversion to float, keeping it in a string.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
This might help:
The long overflows because ext/soap maps it to an int, and you're on a 32bit arch. You can easily fix that problem by using a custom type mapper to override the internal handling of {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema }long:
function to_long_xml($longVal) {
return '<long>' . $longVal . '</long>';
}
function from_long_xml($xmlFragmentString) {
return (string)strip_tags($xmlFragmentString);
}
$client = new SoapClient('http://acme.com/products.wsdl', array(
'typemap' => array(
array(
'type_ns' => 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema',
'type_name' => 'long',
'to_xml' => 'to_long_xml',
'from_xml' => 'from_long_xml',
),
),
));
Also check to see exactly what you get back from the SOAP call, as per the manual add 'trace' and use getLastRequest:
<?php
$client = SoapClient("some.wsdl", array('trace' => 1));
$result = $client->SomeFunction();
echo "REQUEST:\n" . $client->__getLastRequest() . "\n";
?>
Other way to do it, is just using the float() function before the data to sent as a long type.
In the example below I'm use a stdclass object to sent as a parameter:
<?php
if ($index == "Your_longtype_Field"){
$a->$index = (float) $value;
} else {
$a->$index = $value;
}
?>
I am having a problem passing an array variable from Flash (AS2) to PHP. In action script I have several arrays defined like this
output["px1"]
output["px2"]
output["px3"]
and then I use the following code to pass the variables into a php file
output.sendAndLoad("orders/print2cart.php",output,"POST");
I want to know how to get the data from the array in PHP. I have tried using $_POST['px1'], $_POST['output']['px1'], $_POST['output'] but I cannot seem to get any data. Any ideas as to what I can change to get the desired result?
Thanks!
EDIT: Just noticed that I one of the other variables in output (output.username) is also not being sent to PHP, despite it showing up in flash. Using the following code to alert to flash and it does show all the variables correctly.
getURL("javascript:alert('Print Stamp: " + output.PrintStamp + " User: " + output.username "')");
EDIT: Seems like once I send a pretty long array (or a string for that matter) none of the other fields associated with the LoadVars variable are sent either. I googled it up for limits and it says text limits are ~ 63000. Still not sure if that is the problem
Try it as a String.
Use Array.join(); in flash and send the value returned by that, then use explode() in PHP convert it back to an array.
var dataOut:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var dataIn:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
dataOut.info = your_array.join("#");
vars.sendAndLoad("url", dataIn, "post");
dataIn.onLoad = function(go:Boolean):Void
{
if(go)
{
trace('success');
}
else trace('connection failed');
}
The PHP:
<?php
$str = $_POST["info"];
$myarray = explode($str);
?>
Since there were no other alternatives and I went through a lot of stuff before finally concluding that Arrays of large sizes cannot be passed through from AS2 to PHP very easily. My array was actually an image converted to pixels, so what I did was that I split the array into 2 pieces and posted to the PHP file twice instead of only once. Another alternative would be to split and post the array to a text file first and then read that text file directly from PHP.
You can do the same as you would do with HTML, by naming your parameters "array[0]", "array[1]", etc... :
var urlVariable:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
urlVariable["phpArray[0]"] = "arrayEntry0";
urlVariable["phpArray[1]"] = "arrayEntry1";
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://yourserver.com/phpScript.php");
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = urlVariable;
loader.load(request);
then serverside you can verify the result received by php script :
print_r($_POST);
it should output :
Array
(
[phpArray] => Array
(
[0] => arrayEntry0
[1] => arrayEntry1
)
)
and for multiple dimension array you can use :
urlVariable["phpArray[0][0]"]
