If design patterns are not supposed to produce reusable code then why use them?

I have recently been engaged in an argument via email with someone who criticises my low opinion of design patterns (refer to http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/design-patterns.html ). He says that design patterns are merely a convention and not a reusable component. My argument is that something called a pattern is supposed to have a recurring theme, some element of reusability, so that all subsequent implementations of a pattern should require less effort than the first implementation. If design patterns do not provide any reusable code then what is the point of using them?

Multiple Inheritance Needed in OOP?

Hello, Okay so PHP designers explicitly decided against multiple inheritances, but aren't there legitimate needs for multiple inheritance in OOP? For example, consider the following three classes (A,B,C) with the following properties (a number is a distinct property or method). A: 1, 2, 3 B: 1, 3 C: 1, 2, I would like to set the 3 classes up so that no object has 'extra' properties than it requires, so that no property has to be declared/defined in two or more classes, and so that we are strictly using single inhertiance. I don't think it's possible. I've been incorrec

The trouble is, I want to also extend a second custom class, and I don't want to change the core codeigniter class definitions as this makes for awkward upgrades.

PHP and SEO Workarounds

--=-W3tpHsmmHKLVc6Ajnc9D Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit hey folks, This is in regards to SEO and PHP, From what i have read , most (Not all) the PHP Contents is dynamic , which makes it so powerfull , but it also means that chances of it being indexed in search engines are less , am i right in saying this ? . If so how do i optimize my site for search engines which is being powered by PHP and content is Dynamic. Please guide in this regard. Thank you.

efficiency of include()

Hello PHPers, This is a two part question: 1) Is it faster to include one file with lots of code, or many separate smaller individual files? Assume the one massive file is merely the concatenation of all the smaller individual files. (I am assuming the one massive file would be faster..., but i wanted to get confirmation). 2) Suppose php has to invoke the include function 100 times. Suppose all files are on average the same size and contain the same number of instructions. Would it be faster to include the same exact file 100 times as opposed to 100 different file names? Ba

OOP Design Question

Hello PHPers, I have a collection of about 60 objects (class definitions). They are all very similar. They all share a substantial % of the same core. But they all have slight variations as well. The approach I took was to make an abstract core class, and each of the 60 objects extends that core. This works, but... Here's my problem, not every php/http request requires all 60 objects. At this point, I do not know in advance which objects will be required, so i include the class def of all 60 objects every time... I don't like this idea as it seems a 'bloated' approach. So

Re: [PHP] PHP and SEO Workarounds

Look into using your web server's mod_rewrite functionality to alter the URL that the search engines see. For an example, look at Wordpress' permalinks or Joomla's SEF (search engine friendly) URLs. What this will do is make all your dynamic pages look more like static ones. If all your PHP pages had unique names like "about.php" and "ourmission.php", then the file name sort of lends itself to SEO already, but that would be a pretty boring website, and probably one that doesn't need PHP, if that was the case. The big issue are pages that take parameters: domain.com/catal

Checking for internet connection.

Hi all. I'w writing a PHP app that is designed to run over a LAN, so internet connection for the server is not really essential. Some users may deliberately not connect it to the internet as a security precaution. But I'd like the app to make use of an internet connection if it exists to check for an update, and notify the user. Is there a simple way for a PHP script to check if it has an internet connection? I thought of this : if(fsockopen("www.google.com", 80)){ // we are connected } Is this OK or is there something better for the purpose?

Here's my scenario: I'm using Douglas Crockford's JSON2.js to parse an object in JavaScript, which I then pass to a PHP script to store in a file. I use JSON.stringify() on the object, which logs to the console as this: {"employees":{"data":{"John":{"fname":"John","lname":"Doe","city":"Toronto","country":"Canada"}}}} Then I use the jQuery POST function to send it to a PHP script.

session overwriting global

Hi, I have a very strange problem. I am the new developer of an existing site. They have a custom session handler that stores the session in the database. The application connects to the database, registers the session handler with session_set_save_handler. Nothing interesting so far. Then it calls session_start which updates one of the global variables!!! I checked the session read(..) method and just before returning the global is untocuhed. Can anybody explain how could that happen? additional info: the global variable is also stored in the session. php 4.4.9, the probl

Use specific IP for outbound traffic.

Hello, I have 3 IPs in my VPS. Everytime I request to a site it uses only 1 IP as gateway. So all the outbound traffic goes thorough that IP. What I want is one of my script will always communicate using an specific ip. Not default one. I'll use 3 scripts for 3 IPs. How can I do that? I know it can be done by changing the routing table. I think this technique has a problem. If one script changes the gate way to its own IP other script will be using that IP too. Is there any way to achieve this without changing the routing table gloablly? -- Shiplu Innovation distinguishes bet

json_last_error

None of the servers I run on have PHP 5.3, and I have no idea when they'll be updated. The json_last_error function is in 5.3. What can I do to provide a temporary json_last_error function until my servers get updated to 5.3? Is there source available for json_last_error somewhere? Thanks, Kirby

amount of overlaping dates

Hello again, I am searching for a way to identify the amount of simultanious date ranges. Example: array start=('1.12', '5.12', '9.12'); array end =('8.12', '12.12', '16.12'); Looks like this in a table: start end 1.12 8.12 5.12 12.12 9.12 16.12 Obviously the first and last daterange do not overlap. So the amount of overlaping bookings is 2. But how to identify this with PHP?! Any ideas? Thank you for any help on this!! Merlin

Finding out the first possible booking date with php

Hello everybody, I am pretty much stuck with a problem and I was hoping to find some help here with you guys. A PHP Script with MySQL as DB has to find out the first possible booking period available. I can't figure out the logic behind and if there is a trick with PHP to do it. Following facts: - There can only be 3 bookings in the same time period - I want to find out the first period available - There should be a less as possible periods that are unbooked Example: Start End 1.12 14.12 4.12 18.12 5.12 19.12 In this example the first possible booking would be 14.12 -

So the problem I need to solve is to take a set of PP slides with images, and then insert text into each one below the image and then assemble a .ppt file consisting of the selected slides.
