Apache - Removing index.php

For removing index.php on url, type this code to an .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[a-z]/* index.php

The process the script in the file of index.php

<?php

    // you can process the url use this one
    $q = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

    $queries = explode('/',$q);
   
    $page = $queries[1];

    if($page == 'css'){
        include "css/index.php";
    }else if($page == 'js'){
        include "js/index.php";
    }else if($page == 'hello'){
        include ("hello.php");
    }else{
        include "404.php";
    }
?>

    $queries = explode('/',$q);  // the url: /index.php/hello/somevalue/somevalue
    var_dump($queries);
    $page = $queries[2];
    $value1 = $queries[3];
    $value2 = $queries[4];
    if($page == 'holla'){

        include "front.php";
    }else{
        include "404.php";
    }
?>

And the htaccess file is like this one:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

Zend - SOAP Web Service

Below is a three file:
1. mywebservie.php - defining class that used in this web service
2. webservice.php - WSDL document and Soap server creation
3. hello.php - a client that request a service from the soap server
You can find nice guide here: http://www.phpriot.com/articles/zend-soap/6

<?php

require_once "nusoap.php";

$server = new soap_server;

$server->register('hello');

function hello($name){

    return 'Hello, '.$name.' From Soap Server';

}

$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA) ? $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA : '';

$server->service($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);

?>

While the client code is:

<?php

require_once 'nusoap.php';

$client = new SoapClient(

    null,

    array(

        'location' => 'http://localhost/index.php',

JSON - Response As An Array

When you hope your json response as an array, not as an object, so do it like this one:
Server:

    $data = array();

    $data[] = 'lady gaga';

    $data[] = 'luna maya';

    $data[] = 'barack obama';

    echo json_encode($data);

Client:

    $data = eval('('+ajax.responseText+')');

    for(i=0; i<data.length; i++){

        element.innerHTML = innerHTML + data[i];

    }

PHP - DOMDocument For XML

To get a value of a specified tag, use
$dom->getElementsByTagName('name')->item(0)->nodeValue;

To initialize, type:

$dom = new DOMDocument();

$dom->loadXML($data); // or using $dom->load('file.xml');

To create element, use:

$city = $dom->createElement('city', 'One Bay 21th, London');

$dom->getElementsByTagName('data')->item(0)->appendChild($city);

Look the real code below:
<?php

$data = '<?xml version="1.0" ?>';
$data .= '<data>';
$data .= '<name>Lady Gaga</name>';
$data .= '<city>New York</city>';
$data .= '<age>24</age>';
$data .= '</data>';

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadXML($data);

echo $dom->getElementsByTagName('name')->item(0)->nodeValue;
echo $dom->getElementsByTagName('city')->item(0)->nodeValue;
echo $dom->getElementsByTagName('age')->item(0)->nodeValue;

// create a new node: address node
$address = $dom->createElement('address','Gaga Streets 21th');
$data = $dom->getElementsByTagName('data')->item(0);
$data->appendChild($address);

// remove a child node: remove name node
$doc = $dom->documentElement;
$child = $doc->getElementsByTagName('name')->item(0);
$doc->removeChild($child);


// replace child nodes: replace city node with interest
$interest = $dom->createElement('interest','music');
$city = $dom->getElementsByTagName('city')->item(0);
$dom->getElementsByTagName('data')->item(0)->replaceChild($interest, $city);

// create text node: create description node
$desc = $dom->createElement('desc');
$text = $dom->createTextNode('Lady Gaga Is An Singer Of Pop');
$data = $dom->getElementsByTagName('data')->item(0);
$desc->appendChild($text);
$data->appendChild($desc);

// create attribute: album = Monster Ball Album
$album = $dom->createAttribute('album');
$desc->appendChild($album);
$value = $dom->createTextNode('Monster Ball Album');
$album->appendChild($value);

// get the attribute: album
$desc = $dom->getElementsByTagName('desc')->item(0);
$value = $desc->getAttribute('album');
echo '<p>'.$value.'</p>';

// remove the attribute: album
$desc = $dom->getElementsByTagName('desc')->item(0);
$desc->removeAttribute('album');

// set the attribute: replace or add new one
$desc = $dom->getElementsByTagName('desc')->item(0);
$desc->setAttribute('album','Monster Allbum');

// set the id attribute:
$age = $dom->getElementsByTagName('age')->item(0);
$age->setAttribute('id','lady');
$ages = $dom->getElementsByTagName('age')->item(0)->tagName;
echo $ages;

$xml = $dom->saveXML();
echo '<pre>'. htmlentities($xml).'</pre>';

  $s->drawLineTo(300, 300);
  $s->drawLineTo(100, 300);
  $s->drawLineTo(100, 100);
  

  $m = new SWFMovie();
  $m->setDimension(400, 400);
  $m->setRate(1.0);
  $m->add($s);
  $m->nextFrame();

  header('Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
  $m->output();

The code below is just draw a black png image to browser:

<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');

// initialization 250x300 pixels
$img = imagecreate(250,300);

// backgrouning
$black = imagecolorallocate($img, 0,0,0);

imagepng($img);
imagedestroy($img);
?>

To add a string, just do

<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');

// initialization 250x300 pixels
$img = imagecreate(250,300);

// backgrouning
$black = imagecolorallocate($img, 0,0,0);

$text_color = imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 15, 250);

// nan, nan, left, top, text, color
imagestring($img, 2, 5, 5, "A simple text string", $text_color);

imagepng($img);
imagedestroy($img);
?>

Other Sample:

<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');
$img = imagecreate(900,700);

$lime = imagecolorallocate($img, 200, 250, 0);

//drawing string
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($img, 10, 10, 10);
imagestring($img, 12, 65, 150, "Lucia", $text_color);

//drawing rectangle box
$rect_color = imagecolorallocate($img, 10, 250, 10);
imagerectangle($img, 0, 0, 50, 100, $rect_color);

//drawing solid rectangle box
$rect_color = imagecolorallocate($img, 100, 20, 150);
imagefilledrectangle($img, 60, 0, 120, 120, $rect_color);

// drawing ellipse (handle, centerX, centerY, width, height, color)
$ect_color = imagecolorallocate($img, 200, 0, 0);
imagefilledellipse($img, 200, 50, 100, 50, $ect_color);


imagepng($img);
imagedestroy($img);

PHP - XML In Sending Data

Here's a code on how to sending data from client to server in the form of xml format. You can see also at this link.
1. file index.php

<h1>Javascript And JSON</h1>
<p>Here's a demo on how to use json and ajax for sending data to server</p>
<div id="form">
    Name: <input type="text" id="name"/><br/>
    City: <input type="text" id="city"/><br/>
    Age: <input type="text" id="age"/><br/>
    <input type="button" onclick="sendData()" value="Save"/>
</div>
<div id="response"></div>

PHP - XML In Sending Data

JSON Vs XML

Here's a comparison for JSON and XML

1. When you do a request data from server, on the client side you do:

  a. JSON: 

        var data = eval('(' +ajax.responseText+ ')'); or

        var data = null; eval('data ='+ajax.responseText); or

        var data = new Function('return '+ajax.responseText);

  b. XML:

        var data = ajax.reponseXML;

2. On the server side, the process for the request handling is:

  a. JSON:

        $data_json = json_encode($data_array);

  b. XML:

        $data = '<?xml version="1.0"?>';

        header('Content-type: text/xml');

        echo $data;

3. When you do sending data to server, the process in the client is like this one:

  a. JSON:

         var data = {};

         var data_sending = JSON.stringify($data);

  b. XML:

         var xml_data = '<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>';

         var parser = new DOMParser();

         var xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(xml_data, 'text/xml');

4. And the process on the server is like:

  a. JSON:

         $data = $_GET['data'];

         $data_array = json_decode($data, true);

  b. XML:

         $data = $_GET['data'];

         $xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
         $xmlDoc->loadXML(data); // or load(file);

         $names = $xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('name');

         $name = $names->item(0)->nodeValue;

5. Other similarities:

  a. Converting native object to string representations:

     - JSON => JSON.stringify(data);

     - XML => ?????????

  b. Converting string text to native object:

     - JSON => var data = text.parseJSON();

     - XML => var doc = new DOMParser();

              var xmlDoc = doc.parserFromString(data, 'text/xml');

JSON Vs XML

PHP - Handling XML

To handle xml document using php, here's a bit of code of it:
For example, you have an xml document:

<?php

$xml = '<?xml version="1.0"?>';

$xml .= '<data>';

$xml .= '<name>Luna Maya</name>';

$xml .= '<city>Denpasar</city>';

$xml .= '<age>27</age>';

$xml .= '</data>';

$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();

// if the xml document lies on the file, use $xmlDoc->load('your_file.xml');

$xmlDoc->loadXML($xml);

$name = $xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('name');

echo $name->item(0)->nodeValue;

PHP - Handling XML

AJAX AND JSON - Sending Data

Here's a demo on how to send data from client to server:
In the client side, the steps are:
1. You get the data using Javascript DOM
2. Then you convert it to Javascript object literal
3. Then you change the object literal to string - JSON.stringify(data)
4. Then you send it through ajax

In the server side:
1. Catch the json data as a like $data = $_POST['data'];
2. Convert the data as an array $data = json_decode($data,true);

The Files:
a. index.php

<h1>Javascript And JSON</h1>
<p>Here's a demo on how to use json and ajax for sending data to server</p>
<div id="form">
    Name: <input type="text" id="name"/><br/>
    City: <input type="text" id="city"/><br/>
    Age: <input type="text" id="age"/><br/>
    <input type="button" onclick="sendData()" value="Save"/>

</div>

<script>
function sendData(){
    var name = document.getElementById('name');
    var city = document.getElementById('city');
    var age = document.getElementById('age');
   
    var data = {};
    data.name = name.value;
    data.city = city.value;
    data.age = age.value;
   
    var datas = JSON.stringify(data);
   
    var ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();
    ajax.open("GET","hello.php?data="+datas,false);
    ajax.send();
   
    name.value = '';
    city.value = '';
    age.value = '';
   
      
}

</script>

b. hello.php
<?php

$handle = mysql_connect("localhost","root","indonesia");
mysql_select_db("data",$handle);

$data = $_GET['data'];


// convert the json format to php array style
$data = json_decode($data, true);

$query = "INSERT INTO personal_info (name, city, age) VALUES ";
$query .= "('".$data['name']."', '".$data['city']."', 
          ".$data['age'].")";

$result = mysql_query($query);

AJAX AND JSON - Sending Data

AJAX And XML

XML can be used as a data format when you handling data transfer between server and client. Here's a code that shows to you on how to use the both:

1. Create File index.php

<h1>Ajax And XML Demos</h1>
<div>Enter a name:
    <input type="text" id="name_id"/>
    <input type="button" onclick="getData()" value="Get Data"/>
</div>

Name: <span id="name"></span><br/>
City: <span id="city"></span><br/>
Age: <span id="age"></span><br/>


<script>
function getData(){
    var name_d = document.getElementById('name_id');
    var name = document.getElementById('name');
    var city = document.getElementById('city');
    var age = document.getElementById('age');
   
    var ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();
    ajax.open("GET","hello.php?name="+name_id.value,false);
    ajax.send();
    var data = ajax.responseXML;
   
    name.innerHTML = data.getElementsByTagName('name')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
    city.innerHTML = data.getElementsByTagName('city')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
    age.innerHTML = data.getElementsByTagName('age')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
   
}
</script>

2. Create file: hello.php

<?php
/**
 * Assume the table structure is like this one
 * CREATE TABLE personal_info
 * (id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT KEY,
 * name CHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
 * city CHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
 * age INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
 * );
 */

$handle = mysql_connect("localhost","root","indonesia");
mysql_select_db("data", $handle);
$name = $_GET['name'];
$name = urldecode($name);

$query = "SELECT * FROM personal_info WHERE name= '$name'";

$result = mysql_query($query);

$output = '<?xml version="1.0" ?>';
$output .= '<data>';
$output .= '<name>'.$name.'</name>';


while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    $output .= '<age>'.$row['age'].'</age>';
    $output .= '<city>'.$row['city'].'</city>';
}

$output .= '</data>';

header("Content-type: application/xml");
echo $output;

?>
