More on PHP Programming

1. Finding the variable name by value

<?php
function var_name(&$var, $scope=0)
{
    $key = array_search($var, $GLOBALS);
    return $key;
}
$name = 'samy';
echo var_name($name);
?>
O/P

name

Above code will works for only unique variable used for the page. finding the variable name by value with multiple variable name in a same page use following function

<?php
echo vname($inp);
function vname(&$var, $scope=false, $prefix='unique', $suffix='value')
{
    if($scope) $vals = $scope;
    else      $vals = $GLOBALS;
    $old = $var;
    $var = $new = $prefix.rand().$suffix;
    $vname = FALSE;
    foreach($vals as $key => $val) {
      if($val === $new) $vname = $key;
    }
    $var = $old;
    return $vname;
}
?>

Getting remote address

Also we can use following API method

<?php
echo getClientIp();

   function getClientIp()
   {
       $env = 'prod';
       if($env == 'prod' ){

           $url = "http://jsonip.com/";
           $curlData =Ipcurl($url);
           $sttus = explode("||",$curlData);
           if($sttus[1]==200)
               $xmlData_ip = $sttus[0];

           $ipPasrse   = explode(",",$xmlData_ip);

           if($ipPasrse[0]!="")
           $ipGet        = explode(":",$ipPasrse[0]);

           if($ipGet[1]!="")
           $ipAddress   = str_replace('"',"",$ipGet[1]);

       }
       return $ipAddress ;
   }

   function Ipcurl( $url, $cookiefile = '', $pmSSL = FALSE, $pmCert = FALSE)
   {
       $ch = curl_init();
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
       if($pmSSL == TRUE){
           curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,$pmCert); // You should be able to set this to TRUE if your SSL certificate
           curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,TRUE);
       }
       $result = curl_exec($ch);
       $info = curl_getinfo ($ch);
       if (curl_errno($ch)) {
               $error = curl_error($ch);
       }
           curl_close($ch);
       return $result.'||'.$info['http_code'];

   }
?>

Zend framework for beginners

1. Installation(For windows)

Step-1

The First Basic step is to download the Zend Framework Package itself. You can Download the Package from here. Please make sure this should be a full package

Step-2

The next part is including the Zend Library in php.ini file. You can find the php.ini file in C:\xampp\php\php.ini. Open it with the code editor and find this line which is usually at line no 794.

include_path = ".;D:\xampp\php\PEAR”

Now include the path where you have extracted the Zend Framework, so the above line changes like below

include_path = ".;D:\xampp\php\PEAR;D:\xampp\htdocs\samy\ZendFramework-1.12.0\library"

and Close the php.ini file.

Note: If you done this, then no need to set the dynamic include path at application's index.php file

Step-3
Needs to set the environment variable for notifying the bin installers(zf.sh,zf.bat)Create either a System or User Environment Variable with the following
variable-1

Variable Name: ZEND_TOOL_INCLUDE_PATH
Variable Value: D:\xampp\htdocs\samy\ZendFramework-1.12.0\library

variable-2

Variable Name: PATH
Variable Value: D:\xampp\htdocs\samy\ZendFramework-1.12.0\bin;D:\xampp\php

You can set the environment variables in windows using following way
start>mycomputer>right click>properties>advanced system settings>Environment variables>

here we can add/edit the variables
if variable name is already exist then apend the values with ";"

Step -4

After setting the paths restart the system and access the command prompt

start>cmd
c:>
D:\xampp\htdocs\samy> php -v
It will display the php version

D:\xampp\htdocs\samy> zf show version
It will display the zend framework version

D:\xampp\htdocs\samy> zf create project zend_demo
It should create the new project with folder structure, you can see the folders at below path

D:\xampp\htdocs\samy\zend_demo
In this folder structure "library folder" doesn't have any files/folders inside it
so copy the full library files from downloaded package( click here to download) and paste it here
