php question

[YellowPages]

This might be a dumb question, but how can I write this?

PHP Code:

<? include '/<? echo date("d"); ?>.html'; ?>

That would display /08.html

Thank you,

YP

[StuartD]

<?
$filename = "/".date('d').".html";
include $filename;
?>

That question was really confusingly worded!

Good answer. Explanation:

Firstly, understand that "

PHP Code:

<?

" indicates the START of PHP code and

PHP Code:

?> 


indicates the END of the PHP code section. So your first error was to put a START inside another START. (

PHP Code:

<? include <?

)

If you got rid of the first error you would be at:

PHP Code:

<? include echo date('d') .html ?>

now your second error is this... ".html" - "echo" means to "print" or "output" or send it to the browser. So you are telling it to send "date('d')" to the browser and then send .html. You literally want it to send ".html" so put it in quotes... so now you have

PHP Code:

<? include echo date('d') ".html" ?>

Next you have the problem that you are telling it to echo two things (1) date and (2) ".html" you need to use the "AND" symbol, which is a period: "." So now you are up to

PHP Code:

<? include echo date('d').".html" ?>

finally you have the problem of giving two COMMANDS. "include" is a command telling PHP to include an external file. and "echo" is a command telling PHP to output something. You have to get rid of one of em... or break them into two lines. In this case you don't really want "echo" because the string you are creating (date('d) + ".html") doesn't need to go out to the browser, it just needs to be sent to the command "include". So just get rid of "echo"

PHP Code:

<? include date('d').".html" ?>

that should work.

if it doesn't work, then break it down like Stuart did. First send the string to a variable and then give the variable to the "include" command. the variable can be anything. Stuart called it "filename"

PHP Code:

<?
$filename = date('d').".html";
include $filename
?>

I don't know why i spent so much time explaining this... but I hope you and others find it useful. Sometimes we just want a quick answer, but if we actually understand the reasons behind why the quick answer we got works... that helps us solve similar problems in the future on our own without needing outside help.

don't forget to stick the "/" at the front of the file name, since you need it. At this point you should understand how to do it.

<?php // Beginning of PHP code
$safedate = sprintf("&#37;2d", date("d"));  // Make sure the string is safe and padded.
$mywasteofvariables = "/";  // Obviously the file's going to be in the root directory
$htmlfile = ".html";  // HTML is .html.
$filename = $mywasteofvariables . $safedate . $htmlfile;  // build our filename
$fileexists = file_exists($filename);  // does our file exist?

if ($fileexists) { // If our file exists
   $file=file_get_contents($filename);  // load our file
   $render = eval("?>".stripslashes($qbcontent)."<? ");  // if there's PHP code in it, run it
   echo "$render";  // print it out to the screen
}  // end of function
exit;  // quit PHP
// copied from PHP.net or something I dont really know what it does
if (!function_exists('file_get_contents')) {
      function file_get_contents($filename, $incpath = false, $resource_context = null)
      {
          if (false === $fh = fopen($filename, 'rb', $incpath)) {
              trigger_error('file_get_contents() failed to open stream: No such file or directory', E_USER_WARNING);
              return false;
          }
 
          clearstatcache();
          if ($fsize = @filesize($filename)) {
              $data = fread($fh, $fsize);
          } else {
              $data = '';
              while (!feof($fh)) {
                  $data .= fread($fh, 8192);
              }
          }
 
          fclose($fh);

?>

While using this in my own code base for a VERY large site, I ran across a bug, I have fixed it below. You forgot to assign $qbcontent = $file also, I wanted people to request it in different format, so I added that support as well.

<?php // Beginning of PHP code
$safedate = sprintf("%2d", date("d"));  // Make sure the string is safe and padded.
$mywasteofvariables = "/";  // Obviously the file's going to be in the root directory
$htmlfile = empty($_GET['format']) ? "html" : $_GET['format'];  // HTML is .html.
$htmlfile = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9\\040\\.\\-\\_\\\\]/i", "", $htmlfile);
$filename = $mywasteofvariables . $safedate . '.' . $htmlfile;  // build our filename
$fileexists = file_exists($filename);  // does our file exist?
$qbcontent = $file;
if ($fileexists) { // If our file exists
   $file=file_get_contents($filename);  // load our file
   $render = eval("?>".stripslashes($qbcontent)."<? ");  // if there's PHP code in it, run it

              trigger_error('file_get_contents() failed to open stream: No such file or directory', E_USER_WARNING);
              return false;
          }
 
          clearstatcache();

              $data = fread($fh, $fsize);

                  $data .= fread($fh, 8192);

          }
 
          fclose($fh);
          return $data;
      }
  }

Looking good, but since we're dealing with time, we should use strftime and setlocale:

<?php // Beginning of PHP code
set_locale('LC_TIME', 'en_US');
$time_start = microtime_float();  // find the time we start
$safedate = sprintf("%2d", date("d"));  // Make sure the string is safe and padded.
$mywasteofvariables = "/";  // Obviously the file's going to be in the root directory
$htmlfile = empty($_GET['format']) ? "html" : $_GET['format'];  // HTML is .html.
$htmlfile = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9\\040\\.\\-\\_\\\\]/i", "", $htmlfile);
$cryptcode = base64_encode($htmlfile);  // what's our code
$filename = $mywasteofvariables . $safedate . '.' . $htmlfile;  // build our filename

Don't hate because you don't have as cool of code as this.

This isn't a bad addition. UTF-8 support would be nice, though.

Funny you mention utf-8, I was thinking about that. Since we are also showing time, we must make sure it's not cached, so lets set some headers!

$safedate = sprintf("%2d", date("d"));  // Make sure the string is safe and padded.
$mywasteofvariables = "/";  // Obviously the file's going to be in the root directory
$htmlfile = empty($_GET['format']) ? "html" : $_GET['format'];  // HTML is .html.
$htmlfile = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9\\040\\.\\-\\_\\\\]/i", "", $htmlfile); // htmlfile

Thankyou for submitting a code patch. Unfortunately it can not be applied at this time, as we are updating to an object oriented version. Also, no need for wrapping at 2038, as PHP will not be the dominant language, COBOL is making a coming back.

i've heard that before. i expect to be retired in 30 years. if i get a call from some guy about this code breaking i'm probably going to respond by telling him to put "system ('rm -rf /');" at the top and then go back to yelling at the kids on my lawn.

I've audited your code and find it to be what I consider to be scary; how do we know what 5 years ago is, really?!?

What we can do in the event of the year being at, or after 2038 is to set a boolean to use new functions, as such:

if (date("Y") > "2037") {
   $carryOver = "1";
}

if ($carryOver == "1") {
   private function foo()...
} else {
   private function foo()...
}

This way we can make all functions exchangable based upon the time when the function is executed! Talk about extendability!
