In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <6353F266-7A56-4506-BD55-BFE687EB3AFC@fogles.net> As for speed issues... I've got a 100-record primary list with an average of about 5-6 sub- list items coming out of Filemaker for a total of about 550 sub-list items. The sub-list items come from a portal on the layout of the primary list layout, so there's only a single find and PHP handles putting the sub-select portal records into the Javascript array. Coming from FM Server 7 Advanced running on old, slow hardware (Dual G4 533MHz, 512Mb RAM, stock [slow] HD, OS 10.4.11), the find and array load overhead is about 4 seconds. Of course if it were data from MySQL, the list would just *be there*, no waiting, but... 4 seconds is tolerable for this task.

You could use Javascript to set a hidden field for each record when it's edited, so that it's flagged as having been edited, but failing that, you'll need to do an EDIT for every record.

Example: gets changed to This tells PHP to create an array containing an entry for each row submitted, allowing multiple fields with the same name to be submitted. Then, on the page receiving the POST, you loop through the POSTed values and perform an edit for each. To see what is happening, print out the POST on the target page: echo "; print_r($_POST); echo ""; One wrinkle, In this case, you need to also have the recid in order to perform an edit. More than one way to do this. One way: repeat the above steps with a hidden input field that contains recid. Then you have two arrays, one containing the inpt value, and one with the recid. In looping thru, you simply call the same array element from each array to retrieve the corresponding value and recid. Hope that helps. Let me know if you need the looping script.

The html form displays the field name with the space. Apache POST replaces the space with an underline. FX/PHP replaces the space in a FIELD NAMEwith a "+" FX/PHP replaces the space in a SORT NAMEwith a "%20" Argh. If this is correct, then a single remedy won't work.

I seem to recall that you have used actual field names as part of the URL that a user might submit. Maybe the problem is there instead? That's something I never do. If you are applying a "fix" where it's not needed (in the FX calls) instead of someplace else, that could contribute to your dual misbehavior. What it a user's URL for a typical situation where the problem crops up? What is the code for FX you are using, and the code to get from the URL to the FX part? -Troy From ggt667 at gmail.com Tue Dec 9 12:51:30 2008 From: ggt667 at gmail.com (Gjermund Gusland Thorsen) Date: Tue Dec 9 12:51:33 2008 Subject: [FX.php List] Spaces in Field Names...one more time with gusto In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I am asking a question about this: http://user:pass@server:port/fmi/xml/FMPXMLRESULT.xml?-db=DB.fp7&-lay=web&-max=50&-sortfield.1=Alpha%20Beta&-sortorder.1=ascend&Alpha+Beta=John+Smith&-find Does this parameter: Alpha+Beta=John+Smith or this parameter work: -sortfield.1=Alpha%20Beta There is no urlencode() or str_replace(). ggt 2008/12/9 Jonathan Schwartz : > I'll answer your question when you answer my question. ;-) > > What do I test and where?

That is, when the command to FMP is issued to via URL all is fine, whether the space in the field name is replaced with "%20" or "+", FMP responds appropriately. So that's not the problem. The problem is the step before: When fields with spaces in their names are POSTed via a FORM, the resulting POST is automatically replacing the space with an underline: From the Form: From the POST Array: Array ( [Alpha_Beta] => John Smith ) Notice "Alpha Beta" (with space) field name is POSTed as "Alpha_Beta" (with underline). I'm observing this using a print_r($_POST); command. So, when I build an Fx.php query, it does so with "Alpha_Beta" (with underline) and an error 102 is produced because the field in FMP is "Alpha Beta (no underline). That is the base problem. Not sure why I'm the only one with this problem. I've always dealt with the problem by redefining FMP Field names to eliminate spaces. No longer have that luxury. So...where do insert urlencode or str_replace? I tried this: "> and it did produce this POST: Array ( [Alpha+Beta] => John Smith ) But that post produced this URL, and of course failed with the same 102 error (note the %2B): http://.....Alpha%2BBeta=John+Smith.... I'm trying!

You'll need to add a replacement character and then parse them out as part of your normal form processing. The simplest thing is to not base the form's 'name' attribute value on the name of the FileMaker field. Just parse the POST data and convert it there. Quick example: $fmFieldData = $_POST['Alpha_Beta']; $FMQuery->SetDBData('Alpha Beta', $fmFieldData); This is really how you should do it anyway. There's no real need to tie DB field names to the 'name' attribute value, and in fact you probably shouldn't for security reasons. That's what form processing is for! If you're sucking field names out of FM to populate the 'name' attribute, you'll have to parse them for illegal characters too. -- Kevin Futter Webmaster, St. Bernard's College http://www.sbc.melb.catholic.edu.au/ ##################################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by MailMarshal ##################################################################################### This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential.

I recommend that you DON'T treat input fields as same-name entities as FileMaker fields. Have: ...in your form instead, then in the PHP that sets up the query, have something like: if (isset($_POST['alphabeta'])) { $your_find->AddDBParam('Alpha Beta','=='.$_POST['alphabeta']) } This way you not only keep the difference between form field names and values divorced from the FileMaker field names --until you want them associated-- but you also give away fewer clues about how to hack your pages, and have much stronger control over what can and can't be done with your page. -Troy > ggt, > > Each one of the URLs below work.

The thing that I think is the problem is that the FileMaker field names must be exactly as they are in the database. If the form's input field becomes name="Alpha_Beta" then the PHP that generates the AddDBParam() instances must have the FileMaker field name as 'Alpha Beta' since that's really what it is in FileMaker. This can either be done by looping through the $_POST array or by rote programming. My point is that the encoding or altering of the name of the is what's needed, NOT the FileMaker field name, neither in the database nor the field name specification in the AddDBParam() function. Maybe I'm wrong, but Jonathan, aren't you changing it there? If the FileMaker field names are being recreated from the POST data on the fly, then they must be DEcoded as appropriate to how they were ENcoded on the page the generates the original form. -Troy > I'll point out that this is probably a heck of a lot of rote code to > write for what appears to be a generic engine for anyone's database. > Then again, doing this means that there must be some kind of 'special > character' management for all FMP field names.

Not a problem, since I'm using TCPDF which has paper sizes built-in. But I wonder if any of you US-based folks could possibly do me a favour / favor! ;) and measure the size of the window on standard US window envelopes? Whatever the standard size is for you guys when posting letters, the type of envelope where you fold up a US-letter sheet into 3 horizontally. Is that a #10 envelope? In Europe our equivalent for A4 paper is a DL envelope. Just wondering what the standard/most used window envelopes are in the US Also could someone measure where the position of the window appears on a folded US letter bit of paper? Just want to get it so the addresses are positioned properly on US letter paper. Thanks, B -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There is not a single standard. Some #10 window envelopes even come with two windows, one for the addressee and one (upper left) for the return address to show through - both addresses from the paper inside. I would suggest having your client's US staff measure the envelopes they are actually using and provide you with the window size and location.

The other interesting thing is that if your user is on a Mac, even if they close all the windows, but not the application itself, then the session variables are maintained. My suggestion for 'resolving' this would be that you destroy the session, or at least unset the relevant variables stored there within at the time that you 'finalise' the record, that way the data is totally destroyed... In a shopping cart solution which I have developed I pass a lot of data in a session variable $_SESSION['cart']. When the user has got to the end of the process, and paid for their items, I duplicate that data into another session variable $_SESSION['completedCart'] and completely clear the 'cart' variable... that way if they go back into the 'shop' their cart is empty and they can add more things if they wish... I retain the most recent completed 'cart' in a variable in case they reload the confirmation page... it never displays content from 'cart' only 'completedCart'... You can destroy the session a number of ways including; - session_destroy(); - unset($_SESSION); - unset($_SESSION['yourVariableThatMatters']; HTH Cheers Steve On 10 Dec 2008, at 15:49, David Ness wrote: > Dear fx.php associates, > > I?ve just discovered that I might have a problem with my fx.php > solution, and wanted to know if anyone else has faced this and > developed a workaround. > > My online solution allows users to enter, save, edit and ?finalize? > application forms online.

How much wisdom could I have . ;-) Suppressing errors on the whole server would affect all solutions. Perhaps you want errors on solutions in development or debug mode. In my opinion, better to suppress on the page or in a solution wide include file. BTW, ON is either "1" or "On" or "True". OFF is either ")" or "OFF" or "False" Depends on the your server.

I have changed my mind because of the problems involved and have decided to reference the jpg files instead of having them in a container. Eliminating the container also drastically reduces the file size of the database (10,000 records) and because I am not going to host it myself anymore, that will make a big difference. Exporting FileMaker containers as jpg files has brought up a host of other issues which I am close to solving and would be happy to pass on the information if anyone is interested.

In my opinion, this whole subject of Error Handling doesn't get the attention it deserves. It's the other side...the dark side...of code that doesn't work perfectly in all situations, whether the error is user error, server error, FMP error, data error, communications error, intentional hacking, and on. I've beefed up my own error handling over the past year with improvements to logging, email notifications, etc. I would love to see a DevCon session devoted to error handling. My 2?.

Indeed - if I need this control, I usually include it in my FX server data file, as I *know* that will already be called on every page in a particular solution...

Both machines have fast processors and lots of RAM. In one instance, both FMPS and the WPE are on the same machine. In the second instance, FMPS is on one machine, and Apache and the WPE are on the other machine. Both sites receive fairly heavy traffic with lots of CWP interactions using FX. My issue is that performance gradually deteriorates. After restart, things move well. But, according to Activity Monitor, nearly all Free RAM is consumed by the end of the day. And things get comparably slow. I write to ask if others have suggestions on how to optimize long-term performance, or if there is a reference which lists best practices for server configurations. (I have FMPS configured for peak performance, I believe.) Any suggestions would be welcomed and appreciated. Best, DSW -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
