Developing PHP5 code on a PHP4 server, that also has PHP5
Jan 15th
.htaccess to run PHP5 on a server that defaults .php to PHP4, when your ultimate target is a PHP5 server.
.htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index.php5$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^exec.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php5?$ index.php5?page=$1
DirectoryIndex index.php5
The advantage of this architecture is that since all the pages are delivered through index.php5, they are processed as PHP5, although they are named as .php.
Also - if you have a PHP5 application, you MAY be able to use the same approach, if you put PHP5 and PHP4 on the same server.
dojo validation
Jan 15th
This is a dojo validation loop. Send it an array of input ids (with dojoTypes), and it will ensure they’re valid.
function checkValid(aValid)
{
var i,e;
for (i=0;i<aValid.length;i++)
{
e=dojo.byId(aValid[i]);
if (!e.readOnly)
{
e=dijit.byId(aValid[i]);
if (typeof e.isValid != 'undefined')
if (!e.isValid())
{
alert(e.invalidMessage);
e.focus();
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
}
</script>

Ini processing into javascript
Jan 15th
<html>
<body>
<?php
$ini_array=parse_ini_file('lxtest/ini/system.ini.php');
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($ini_array);
echo '</pre>';
echo '<hr />';
extract ($ini_array);
echo 'Database: '.$database.'<br />';
?>
<?=$database?>
</body>
<script>
alert("<?=$password?>");
</script>
</html>
This is the beginning of an adventure - to use PHP to inject strings into javascript for AJAX applications. Multi-lingual, fast and efficient. More posts later. Will probably require Apache adjustments to run .js files through PHP, but that’s okay!!!
