PHP for Microsoft AJAX Library

Patch Uploaded

dherbst — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 13:27:59 GMT

dherbst has uploaded a patch.

Description:
This patches MSAjaxService.php when using MicrosoftAjaxLibrary 3.5. There seems to have been a breaking change from the earlier msajaxlibrary which did not put the result data into the "d" property of the returned json object.

The fix is line 87 to add the array wrapper:

echo json_encode( array("d"=>$returnValue));

This should fix iss #4997 for you.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

COMMENTED ISSUE: b has no properties

Dzonny — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 13:47:30 GMT

Trying your hello example creates "b has no properties" error in MicrosoftAjax.js line 5.
When changing script source from MicrosoftAjax.js to MicrosoftAjax.debug.js is says:
Chyba: [Exception... "'Sys.Net.WebServiceFailedException: Sys.Net.WebServiceFailedException: The server method 'SayHello' returned invalid data. The 'd' property is missing from the JSON wrapper.' when calling method: [nsIOnReadyStateChangeHandler::handleEvent]" nsresult: "0x8057001c (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_JS_OBJECT)" location: "<unknown>" data: no]

Using PHP PHP 5.2.5, Apache 2.2.6, Windows XP Pro, FireFox 2.0.0.11

COMMENTED ISSUE: b has no properties

Dzonny — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 12:19:40 GMT

There was a problem with your PHP code and my very strict PHP settings. It generated a notice:
 
Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\filestore\phpmsajax\MSAjaxService.php on line 60 
So, I've altered the line 60 from
if ((strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE'], 'application/json') !== 0) && (strpos($_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE'], 'application/json') !== 0))
to
if ((strpos(@$_SERVER['HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE'], 'application/json') !== 0) && (strpos(@$_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE'], 'application/json') !== 0))

now I¨m getting undefined instead fo hello message :-(

COMMENTED ISSUE: $_SERVER variable HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE doesn't exist -- Still an Issue

bencornwell — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 13:40:08 GMT

Here is the correct way to solve it: if ((isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE']) && strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE'], 'application/json') !== 0) || (isset($_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE']) && strpos($_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE'], 'application/json') !== 0)) { header('HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Server Error'); throw new Exception('Wrong content-type, should be application/json'); } Comments: ** Comment from web user: bencornwell **

actually - that should be

if( array_key_exists( 'CONTENT_TYPE', $_SERVER ) ) { //do something }

Standard argument ordering isn't one of PHP's strong points ;)

Hi Steve - just caught your presentation at ReMIX07 and thought I'd check out the phpmsajax project.

I hit the issue described above - it's actually a PHP5 -> PHP4 legacy issue. PHP5 (strict mode) will generate an error if the array index you're trying to access doesn't exist, while PHP4 (or PHP5 running a more forgiving error_reporting() setting) won't.

Further, the isset() probably isn't the best way to test this condition either - the best way I've come across is: if( array_key_exists( $_SERVER, 'CONTENT_TYPE') ) { //do something }

Happy to submit a patch - just let me know how :)

CREATED ISSUE: solution of how to cast to an arbitrary class

heygrady — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 21:33:27 GMT

PHP maintains a generic empty class stdClass from which all class are built in PHP. You can use that class to create generic class objects anytime you wish.


$class = new stdClass();
$class->randomProperty1 = 'foo';
$class->randomProperty2 = 'bar';

Aditionally, PHP5 supports object cloning. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.cloning.php

Has anyone out there successfully used the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit with PHP?

If so, please post some sample code for the world using any of the controls. Thanks!

Run under E_ALL with no warnings, compatibility improvements on IIS (no $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']), and general code improvements.

Some php code improvement:

vrana — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 10:31:20 GMT

PHP uses copy-on-write, so code {{$a = $b;}} doesn't copy any memory. Thus code {{$a = &$b;}} is in fact slower than {{$a = $b;}}. Enlightment is: Don't use reference assignments where not necessary. PHP construct {{echo}} is very fast. Several {{Response.Write}} were slow in ASP but it doesn't hold for PHP. Code {{$a = ""; $a .= "..."; echo $a;}} is similarly fast, but {{$a = array(); $a[] = "..."; echo implode("", $a);}} is in fact slower because it allocates more than double of memory needed for output (first for array, second for imploded string + overhead costs for array manipulation).
