Creating a custom PHP template -

-

i created custom php templating system , way built seems, well, inefficient. 3 main goals template to:

  1. pull site-wide html elements template.tpl include.
  2. be able dynamically assign content in template.tpl (like <title> or <script>)
  3. be efficient , scalable possible.

in end, template system looked this:

randompage.php

<?php // declare page specific resources $pagetitle = "random sub-title"; $pageresources = "/css/somerandomcss.css" $pagecontent = "/randompage.tpl" // include generic page template include dirname($_server['document_root']).'/includes/template.tpl' ?>

randompage.tpl

<h1><?=$pagetitle?></h1> <p>some random page's content</p>

template.tpl

<!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head>    <title>my site -- <?=$pagetitle?></title>    <link href="/css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">    <link href="<?=pageresources?>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body>    <? include $pagecontent ?> </body> </html>

the main problem system every web page, need manage two files: 1 logic/data , other page template. seems largely inefficient me, , doesn't seem scalable approach.

recently, come across smarty framework, allow me consolidate system randompage.php , randompage.tpl like:

randomsmartypage.php

{extends file="template.tpl"} {block name=pagetitle}my page title{/block} {block name=pageresources}    <link href="/css/somerandomcss.css" rel="stylesheet" text="text/css"> {/block} {block name=pagecontent}my html page body goes here{/block}

seeing approach raised 3 major questions me:

  1. are there fundamental flaws how approaching templating system?
  2. can original php code refactored don't have create 2 files every web page?
  3. would using smarty (or perhaps alternative framework) idea in case?

  1. your code isn't using templating engine besides php itself, fine. flaw can see template have access variables, , ones create global.
  2. two files system, 1 change preprocessed , passed view, , 1 view itself, containing html or whatever. allows swap views, example, view standard browsing , mobile view mobile browsers.
  3. it can idea, i'm firm believer using php enough.

here example, untested. encapsulate variables don't pollute global namespace.

index.php

function view($file, $vars) {     ob_start();     extract($vars);     include dirname(__file__) . '/views/' . $file . '.php';     $buffer = ob_get_contents();     ob_end_clean();     return $buffer; }  echo view('home', array('content' => home::getcontent()));

views/home.php

<h1>home</h1> <?php echo $content; ?>

php - What is the difference between $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']? -

-
what’s difference between $_server['path_info'] , $_server['orig_path_info'] ? how use them? when run print_r($_server) , path_info , orig_path_info not present in array. why not? how can enable them? i have read php manual on them, still don’t understand them. the path_info variable present if invoke php script this: http://www.example.com/phpinfo.php/hello_there it's /hello_there part after .php script. if don't invoke url that, there won't $_server["path_info"] environment variable. the porig_ prefix uncommon. path_info standard cgi-environment variable, , should never prefixed. did read that? (there issues around php3/php4 if invoked php interpreter via cgi-bin/ - hardly has such setups today.) for reference: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875

fortran - Function return type mismatch -

-
i'm attempting recode old c++ program in fortran make use of lapack (i'm aware c++ have lapack++, i'm having lot of trouble installing it, gave up). i didn't have problems compilation, when had variables declared real . when started coding section of program required lapack, found parameters passed dsyev need double precision . tried change double precision (including changing hard coded numbers double precision counterparts, i.e. 0.0 -> 0.0d0) when try compile, following error of functions , subroutines i've written: error: return type mismatch of function <function> @ (1) (real(4)/real(8)) i'm not sure coming from, in program has been changed double precision. for example, i've declared following: double precision :: alpha(3),d(3),zeta1,zeta2 double precision :: a1(3),a2(3),d1(3),d2(3) double precision :: pi pi = 3.14159265359d0 alpha = (/0.109818d0, 0.405771d0, 2.22766d0/) d = (/0.444635d0, 0.535328d0, 0.154329d0 /) 10 i=1,3 ...

queue - mq_receive: message too long -

-
i implementing communication between 2 processes using queue. problem when call function mq_receive, error: message long. i have done following: struct mq_attr attr; long size = attr.mq_msgsize; .... // initializing queue "/gateway" int rc = mq_receive(gateway, buffer, size, &prio); if print size value, size=1, while when print same size program (got same mechanism), not long integer ( -1217186280 )... how can solve error?....so while size = 1, believe it's right "message long" why 1? p.s. have tried put : int rc = mq_receive(gateway, buffer, sizeof(buffer), &prio); but no result. it seems need read docs more carefully. when call mq_receive should pass size of destination buffer. this size must greater mq_msgsize attribute of queue . in addition, seems have error in queue attributes initialisation makes proper mq_receive call impossible. here standard message queue session: fill mq_attr struct ( doc ): struct mq_a...
