| 21:38.42 | timinator | no go |
| 21:38.49 | timinator | so here goes on the question |
| 21:39.45 | timinator | what's a good way to identify carriage returns in a POSTed variable and convert that carriage return to a <br /> tag? |
| 21:42.31 | timinator | any ideas guys? |
| 21:42.45 | Lone_Wanderer | umm |
| 21:42.47 | Lone_Wanderer | nl2br |
| 21:42.54 | Lone_Wanderer | pretty much what it was designed for |
| 21:43.07 | Lone_Wanderer | $str = nl2br($_POST['whatever']); |
| 21:43.08 | timinator | haven't heard of it... I'll look up |
| 21:43.14 | timinator | nice |
| 21:43.18 | Lone_Wanderer | http://www.php.net/nl2br |
| 21:44.32 | timinator | worked like a charm... |
| 21:44.34 | timinator | thanks dude |
| 21:44.39 | Lone_Wanderer | no problem |
| 21:51.18 | Lone_Wanderer | Anyone know the command to create a .htpasswd file? |
| 21:52.06 | swb | htpasswd -c /usr/name/inprogress/.data/.htpasswd userid |
| 21:52.36 | Lone_Wanderer | k |
| 21:54.44 | Lone_Wanderer | wheee, now it's checking it out |
| 21:54.57 | Lone_Wanderer | but it didn't ask for a password and it's putting it in the wrong directory |
| 21:55.01 | Lone_Wanderer | and I'm saying this in the wrong channel |
| 21:56.25 | beandog | heh |
| 21:56.30 | beandog | what are you doing, setting up svn or something? |
| 21:57.07 | Lone_Wanderer | yeah |
| 21:57.20 | beandog | man, that can be a royal pain. |
| 21:57.25 | Lone_Wanderer | no kidding |
| 21:57.26 | beandog | I re-setup all mine this weekend |
| 21:57.41 | Lone_Wanderer | I've never set it up before |
| 21:57.50 | beandog | well ping me if you get suck |
| 21:57.51 | beandog | stuck |
| 21:57.56 | Lone_Wanderer | but at least checking out is working now |
| 21:57.58 | Lone_Wanderer | ping :p |
| 21:58.01 | beandog | :) |
| 21:58.04 | Lone_Wanderer | I guess I'm not stuck yet really |
| 21:58.06 | beandog | Wanna see my config? |
| 21:58.07 | beandog | that might help |
| 21:58.11 | Lone_Wanderer | nah |
| 21:58.38 | Lone_Wanderer | I just need to know how to make it so when I check stuff out, it goes straight into /srv/www/htdocs instead of into /srv/www/htdocs/htdocs/trunk |
| 21:58.58 | beandog | ok |
| 21:59.07 | beandog | just do svn co http://foo/bar /srv/www/htdocs |
| 21:59.21 | beandog | the last argument is where to check it out too |
| 21:59.22 | beandog | to |
| 21:59.25 | Lone_Wanderer | k |
| 21:59.34 | beandog | normally, it would just create directory 'bar' |
| 21:59.35 | beandog | or wahtever. |
| 21:59.57 | Lone_Wanderer | there we go |
| 22:22.55 | *** part/#uphpu Utah_Dave (n=boucha@72-166-51-162.dia.static.qwest.net) |
| 22:43.42 | Lone_Wanderer | Okay I've got a project with multiple potential developers |
| 22:43.58 | Lone_Wanderer | I figure I'll give each of them a public_html directory where they can check their code out to |
| 22:44.24 | Lone_Wanderer | will $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] point to their public_html directory automagically? |
| 22:51.41 | macnewbold | are you using apache? serving it up through the user_homedir thingy? |
| 22:51.47 | macnewbold | if so, that sounds right to me |
| 22:52.13 | Lone_Wanderer | am using apache but I don't know what the user_homedir thingie is |
| 22:54.41 | atoponce | is there a way in perl to add an arbitrary amount of whitespace? |
| 22:54.49 | atoponce | something like space(33); would add 33 spaces? |
| 22:55.06 | Lone_Wanderer | you could just make a loop if there isn't |
| 22:55.09 | Lone_Wanderer | (but I'm sure there is) |
| 22:55.49 | atoponce | yeah. i figure there's got to be a function. but i guess i could write one |
| 22:58.36 | bigdog_ut | Lone_Wanderer, you dont need to worry about the home dir if they are checking it out locally to their machine |
| 22:58.46 | Lone_Wanderer | They're not though. |
| 22:59.19 | bigdog_ut | you dont need ot worry about it anywhere...they will check it out the same way each time |
| 22:59.27 | bigdog_ut | via the web if you have it running under apache |
| 22:59.36 | Lone_Wanderer | Yes but that's not the problem |
| 22:59.45 | Lone_Wanderer | the problem is I have one development machine and I need multiple users to be able to use it |
| 22:59.45 | bigdog_ut | whatz your issue? |
| 23:00.08 | Lone_Wanderer | *and* I need some way to include files relative to wherever they're developing |

| 23:04.36 | Lone_Wanderer | Okay. How much did you see? |
| 23:04.36 | bigdog_ut | let me check |
| 23:05.19 | bigdog_ut | i got that you need the guys working in some similar location |
| 23:06.34 | Lone_Wanderer | okay, well |
| 23:06.46 | Lone_Wanderer | I want to make it so that files can be included anywhere |
| 23:06.51 | Lone_Wanderer | and have it all be relative |
| 23:07.02 | Lone_Wanderer | not use ../../whatever/foo/bar/file.php |
| 23:07.28 | Lone_Wanderer | but use $some_var."/whatever/foo/bar/file.php" |
| 23:07.54 | bigdog_ut | as long as they all have the same code then you are good |
| 23:08.04 | Lone_Wanderer | which requires getting $some_var equal to /home/whomever/public_html, for the appropriate value of "whomever" |
| 23:08.14 | Lone_Wanderer | well, on the production machine, the document root is different |
| 23:08.49 | bigdog_ut | yeah...i did this with wps and we just had a config file that you tailored to your environment and then did not check it in unless you added new stuff ot the file |
| 23:09.28 | bigdog_ut | that worked great for us, then we set up different environments (vhosts) that had special deployments |
| 23:09.47 | Lone_Wanderer | Would it be easier just to give each user their own vhost? |
| 23:10.09 | Lone_Wanderer | Because you could declare the DocumentRoot in Apache then |
| 23:10.16 | Lone_Wanderer | and just use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] |
| 23:10.32 | bigdog_ut | yeah you can do something like that |
| 23:10.38 | Lone_Wanderer | that'd be better |
| 23:10.46 | Lone_Wanderer | 'cause it wouldn't rely on a magic file having the right info in it |
| 23:11.09 | bigdog_ut | true...but those are easier to move around and fix...vhosts take some knowledge to set up |
| 23:11.14 | Lone_Wanderer | Yeah I know |
| 23:11.23 | bigdog_ut | but if they are all on the same machine then no worries |
| 23:11.25 | Lone_Wanderer | but vhosts are standard Apache |
| 23:11.34 | Lone_Wanderer | and $_SERVER is standard PHP |
| 23:11.46 | Lone_Wanderer | magic files, while easier, are not so standard |
| 23:11.53 | bigdog_ut | true...what i am saying is that server config is a little more then editing a "magic" config file |
| 23:12.00 | Lone_Wanderer | yeah |
| 23:12.14 | Lone_Wanderer | but in the documentation for this project I can just write "Development users each require their own vhost to work in" |
| 23:12.19 | bigdog_ut | but php does have some nice methods for config files |
| 23:13.06 | Lone_Wanderer | and any Apache admin will read that and understand. On the other hand with a magic file I'll have to write "For each development user you need a file that has this in it, this is what all these lines mean, oh and you need one for the production server too, which you can't just check out because it needs to be set up differently..." |
| 23:13.40 | bigdog_ut | either way you will have to write something on setting it up |
| 23:13.51 | bigdog_ut | with the config.ini file we commented it and that was good |
| 23:14.03 | bigdog_ut | they knew to edit the file with their values |
| 23:14.08 | Lone_Wanderer | yeah but I'd rather go with something that's easier for a later admin to understand, and that doesn't rely on something that can't be checked out with svn |
| 23:14.26 | bigdog_ut | yeah that is fine too |
| 23:19.07 | macnewbold | atoponce: did you get your perl answer? if not, try the "x" operator |
| 23:19.19 | macnewbold | it works about like str_repeat() in php |
| 23:20.57 | Lone_Wanderer | Is there a way to make a "ServerName *.domain-name.com" virtual host? |
| 23:21.03 | bigdog_ut | y |
| 23:21.17 | Lone_Wanderer | yay |
| 23:21.39 | bigdog_ut | that should be your catch all one |
| 23:21.58 | bigdog_ut | and i think it should be last in your list of vhosts |
| 23:22.07 | bigdog_ut | iirc |
| 23:28.01 | macnewbold | Lone_Wanderer: you still have to pick one server name (like www.domain.com), but if you and ServerAlias *.domain.com domain.com then it will do what you want |
| 23:28.08 | atoponce | macnewbold: yeah. i got it using 'x' actually. however, i ran into a new problem |
| 23:28.37 | macnewbold | what's wrong now? |
| 23:29.12 | Lone_Wanderer | Hrmm, I just remembered that there's no actual domain name pointing to this server |
| 23:29.20 | atoponce | if i have a line in a text file that is 500 characters, and i just want to print the first 250 to another file, how? |
| 23:29.30 | atoponce | print CLN substr($_, 0, 250); # isn't working |
| 23:29.42 | atoponce | (CLN being my filehandle) |
| 23:29.49 | Lone_Wanderer | printf should be able to do it innit? |
| 23:30.14 | Lone_Wanderer | okay, for now, I'm not going to worry about a multi-user environment |
| 23:30.24 | Lone_Wanderer | since I'm the only developer :p I can fix it later if I need to |
| 23:31.45 | atoponce | Lone_Wanderer: printf you say? it's not printing anything to the file... |
| 23:33.03 | beandog | http://boredom.brantleyonline.com/?p=38 |
| 23:33.41 | swb | atoponce, sorry if I missed part of your conversation, are you talking about perl? |
| 23:33.48 | atoponce | swb: yeah |
| 23:34.18 | swb | so, I was going to ask if you couldn't just read the file in first, and then grab the first 250 characters |
| 23:34.46 | atoponce | well, i'm doing some manipulations before i output to the new file |
| 23:34.58 | swb | oic |
| 23:34.59 | atoponce | hold on. i'll send a pastebin |
| 23:36.47 | macnewbold | hm. that's odd |
| 23:37.02 | macnewbold | I'd look more into what substr is doing that isn't working right |
| 23:37.09 | swb | so you already have the info. in your program in a var? |
| 23:37.19 | _psychic_ | beandog: that's awesome |

| 23:40.33 | macnewbold | so you're trying to rearrange all the fields, atoponce? |
| 23:40.35 | atoponce | |? no, just spaces... where do you get |? |
| 23:40.40 | atoponce | macnewbold: yeah |
| 23:40.42 | swb | just guessing |
| 23:40.50 | atoponce | oh. ok. :-)» |
| 23:41.07 | macnewbold | atoponce: is it properly extracting all the fields in the top half? |
| 23:41.16 | macnewbold | if so, I'd probably not put them back on top of $_, |
| 23:41.17 | atoponce | this should be easy, but it's proving to be otherwise |
| 23:41.20 | swb | send an example line from |
| 23:41.21 | swb | send an example line from [#uphpu] |
| 23:41.26 | swb | p1231.afo |
| 23:41.37 | atoponce | ok |
| 23:41.45 | macnewbold | but just do something like print CLN $rindex.$phone.$othervar.....; |
| 23:42.16 | macnewbold | if I were triyng to debug it the way it is though, I'd add a print $_; after the top section and after the bottom section |
| 23:42.25 | macnewbold | just to make sure it was doing the changes I expected. |
| 23:43.08 | atoponce | http://pastebin.ca/253653 |
| 23:43.18 | atoponce | long line --^ so it wraps |
| 23:44.23 | atoponce | macnewbold: that would work, but could be a pain if i have many variables |
| 23:45.07 | macnewbold | there are easier ways to build it up into one big string, too |
| 23:45.14 | macnewbold | $str .= $anothervar; |
| 23:45.28 | atoponce | yeah. thinking about it, i guess i could loop it... |
| 23:45.29 | beandog | atoponce: what are you trying to do? |
| 23:46.06 | atoponce | in this file, just rearrange some text fieds to new locations, and print out the new result to a new file. |
| 23:46.26 | atoponce | beandog: what's getting me, is printing just the first x-amount of text |
| 23:46.26 | beandog | whats the delimiter |
| 23:46.31 | atoponce | spaces |
| 23:46.34 | beandog | oh |
| 23:46.35 | swb | hmm, I can't tell, is it tab delimited? |
| 23:46.37 | swb | oh |
| 23:46.42 | beandog | You could do substr, couldnt you? |
| 23:46.50 | beandog | echo substr($foo, 0, 255); |
| 23:46.50 | beandog | or whatever |
| 23:46.58 | atoponce | that's what i'm trying, and i'm getting a blank text file |
| 23:47.10 | beandog | buh |
| 23:47.15 | atoponce | beandog: http://pastebin.ca/253648 |
| 23:47.53 | atoponce | this *should* be easy, but is proving otherwise... :-)» |
| 23:48.21 | swb | I think you could do something with regular expressions... if the data is in some kind of logial, consisten format, are you SURE it's not tab-delimited? |
| 23:48.50 | atoponce | yeah. positive. i deal with these files daily |
| 23:49.23 | atoponce | we normally use quick basic, which has the right$() and left$() functions |
| 23:49.55 | atoponce | trying to convert all the quickbasic scripts to perl... |
| 23:52.51 | swb | so, would this work? use a reg expr anywhere there is more than one space to split the data: @line = split(/\s\s+/); |
| 23:54.19 | atoponce | a regex pattern could work, but it would be fairly complex. |
| 23:54.34 | swb | seems to me substr would be fairly complex in this case |
| 23:55.11 | atoponce | i've tried: $left = substr($_, 0, 206); print CLN $left; # but that leaves the same result with a blank text file |
| 23:55.50 | atoponce | oh well. i'm running on 2 hours of sleep. i'll get back to it tomorrow after decent rest. |
| 23:56.13 | atoponce | it'll probably stick out like a sore thumb at that point |
| 23:56.14 | atoponce | :-)» |
| 23:58.06 | atoponce | in qb, it's easy: line input #1, a$; b$ = left$(a$, 206); print #2, b$; |
| 23:58.33 | atoponce | oh well. thx for your help anyway! :-)» |
