Pentagon Can't Even Keep Track Of The
Systems That Keep Track Of Stuff 07/08/2004 12:33 PM
The Pentagon certainly isn't known for efficiency in their business processes, and no one ever said they needed to be run in the same manner as a profitable business, but the fact that they can't even track the thousands of different databases and logistics systems that are supposed to keep track of all of their purchases and assets is a bit worrisome. At the very least it's a huge recipe for fraud, with plenty of already greedy enough defense contractors clearly abusing the system for great profit to themselves -- at the expense of our own tax dollars.

Variable Variables in PHP

Variable Variables in PHP 12/19/2002 10:43 PM
Variable Variables in PHP Well since it's late but I'm still grinding and I feel guilty for not blogging much today, here's a special PHP Treat: A Variable Variable Tutorial. Yes that's right. There is a feature in PHP called "Variable Variables". One of the issues that I had with implementing our Digibuy support was our old friend and enemy: Parsing. This is such a fundamental thing but there always seems to be a new wrinkle in it. In this case we had an existing PHP script which did our registration calculations and was expecting a certain set of variables. Now this code was fairly complex and I didn't want to re-write it (much). Here's the input data we had to parse: author_id=BillBrown & author_password=HemosRules & prod_sku=98079949999 With the exception that it had like 30 odd variables in it. Since my code was expecting a series of variables I needed to parse this and automatically create a series of variables like $author_id and $author_password. Now if this data was being given to me by a URL then it would be easy -- PHP could automatically do it or I could just pull them out of $_REQUEST. But, instead, I had them going to me as if they were a file. So ... How do you create a series of variables on the fly? Note: Yes I could have made an associative array but that wouldn't have taught me anything, now would it ? I could also have gotten a similar effect with the extract function but I found out about that after this working. And if the code is working then ... Well deep in the recesses of what I call a brain was a recollection of "variable variables". I think I heard about this in a talk that Rasmus gave although I can't honestly be sure. I do know that whenever you need to do "meta" type tasks like this in a language, you need to poke around the oddball features since that's usually where they reside. What I do is look for the sections of the documentation that I've never read. The idea behind a variable variable is simple: interpret the value of a variable and make it into a variable itself. I.e. the "variable variable" nomenclature. Since php uses $ for indicating a variable they've chosen to use $$ to make a variable variable. Let's say you have two variables, $part1 and $part2. If $part1 = "author_id" and $part2="HemosRules" how do I get to $author_id = "HemosRules". Simple: $$part1 = $part2. Yup. It's just that easy. Of course I did need to wrap it into a string parsing loop. Here's the guts of it: $strarray = explode("&",$input); foreach ($strarray as $stritem) { $stritem = trim($stritem); $part1 = substr ( $stritem, 0, strpos ( $stritem,"=" ) ); $part2 = substr ( $stritem, strpos ( $stritem,"=" )+1, strlen ( $stritem ) ); #magic! $$ is a "variable variable" i.e. it converts the value #in the variable into a variable itself $$part1 = $part2; } The way this works is an input string, $input, contains everything that needs to be processed. First I explode this into an array using "&" as the delimiter. Then I loop over the array with a foreach loop creating a $part1 variable and a $part2 variable. Finally I just do the magic $$part1 = $part2. Here's the example Source Code. Here's the working Example Thanks again to my favorite Systems Administrator, Apokalyptik, for showing me how to use PHP to generate code listings. Much easier than pasting it into a blog entry. More on Variable Variables from PHP.Net: [_Go_] Variable Variables. A little confusing but definitely a frothy good thing!

PHP Static Class Variables

PHP Static Class Variables 12/02/2002 01:17 PM
Static class variables are variables that are shared among all instances of a particular class. Although PHP supports static variables in functions, it has no support for static variables in classes. This functionality can be pretty important in some situations, and I will now describe a way to simulate it.

When I stopped smoking

When I stopped smoking 06/14/2004 08:37 AM

On the Sunday before my surgery, I said to Tori -- "You know I haven't decided to stop smoking yet."

Then after the surgery, not sure which day it was (probably Tuesday morning) in the ICU, the surgeon comes to see me, really sharply dressed, with a sharply dressed woman with him (not sure who she was).

The doctor says "You're a computer guy, right?" I said I was. "What's the word you guys use for seeing something?" I asked if he meant visualize. "That's it!" he exclaimed.

"Now I want you to visualize yourself as a smoker." Since I had been trained in meditation, I thought I was about to be deprogrammed. Okay, I'm visualizing.

"You're dead!" he said and started laughing.

What do you mean? I asked. "People like you who keep smoking are usually dead within three years," he explained. Gulp. Somehow, in all the doom and gloom it had never really sunk in that I had almost died. If I had waited another couple of weeks to deal with this, well, I don't even like to think about it.

Anyway, that was the moment. That was when I decided to stop smoking.
