Read CSV file in CakePHP

cakebit — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 15:35:42 +0000

First download class file for reading CSV file from here.

Now copy the main class file to your app/vendors/ and name it parsecsv.php.

Now in your controller’s action where you want to read CSV data, import that file using App::import function,

function readCSV()
{
    App::import("Vendor","parsecsv");
}

Then create object of the class,

function readCSV()
{
    App::import("Vendor","parsecsv");
 
    $csv = new parseCSV();
}

To read a CSV file, you have to use the following function,

$csv-&gt;auto($filepath); // here $filepath is absolute path of your CSV file with filename,

It reads data from file and stores in $csv->data in array format.

Now you can get data using loop as following,

foreach ($csv-&gt;data as $row)
{
    $temp1 =  $row[‘column_name1’];
    $temp2 = $row[‘column_name2’];
    $temp3 =  $row[‘column_name3’];
    //other stuff
}

Final code looks like below,

function readCSV() {
    App::import("Vendor","parsecsv");
 
    $csv = new parseCSV();
    $csv-&gt;auto($filepath);
 
    foreach ($csv-&gt;data  as $row) {
        $temp1 =  $row[‘column_name1’];
        $temp2 =  $row[‘column_name2’];
        $temp3 =  $row[‘column_name3’];
        //other stuff
    }
}

Integrate WordPress into CakePHP

cakebit — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:25:23 +0000

Sometimes ago I was working on a project based on CakePHP framework. And requirement was to integrate a blogging application into CakePHP.

Well, everyone knows that WordPress is the best Blog framework ever made. So I decided to integrate WordPress into CakePHP.

Now, the first thing is if you want to integrate WordPress in CakePHP, you have to put that in app/webroot folder. So, put WordPress folder into app/webroot of your CakePHP.

But cake doesn’t keep the address to http://www.example.com/blog/ but it changes address to http://www.example.com/app/webroot/blog/.

After doing some research, I found the solution for this that I have to edit .htaccess file to rewrite the url address.

Now open .htaccess file from your CakePHP root directory and replace the content with following lines.

RewriteEngine on
RedirectMatch temp ^/blog/wp-admin$ http://www.example.com/blog/
RewriteRule ^blog$ blog/ [L]
RewriteRule ^blog/wp-admin$ blog/wp-admin/ [L]
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]

…and it works for my case.

Hope this will help.

MySQL : Get next auto increment value in a MySQL table using PHP

cakebit — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 18:20:24 +0000

Recently, I needed to get the auto increment value for the next inserted row in a MySQL table.

As the first solution, I was thinking to get maximum of ‘id’ field and then increment it for next inserted record like,

$query = mysql_query(SELECT MAX(id) as max_id FROM tablename);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);
$next_id = $row[‘max_id’] + 1;

But it is not a right way to do this because auto increment values use unique ids.

By doing some research, I found a solution for this problem. You can use “SHOW TABLE STATUS” query like,

$r = mysql_query("SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE 'table_name'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($r);
$auto_increment = $row['Auto_increment'];
mysql_free_result($r);

This command returns a two dimentional array with “Auto_increment” value.

There is another solution for this. You could use direct select query like,

SELECT AUTO_INCREMENT FROM information_schema.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME ='tablename' AND TABLE_SCHEMA='database_name';

How to abort an ajax request using jQuery

cakebit — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 20:03:59 +0000

The $.ajax method returns the xhr object, and you can call the
abort method of it.

Every time you create an ajax request you could use a variable to store it:

var x = $.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'someurl',
success: function(result){}
});

Then you can abort the request:

x.abort();

Caching problem with models in CakePHP

cakebit — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 17:52:57 +0000

Before a few days, I was working on a project in CakePHP. I made some model related changes, like changed the relationship of models and added new fields to table in database.

After uploading the code to live server, when I checked the site, no difference was seen as compared to earlier version of site. I wondered what had happened. Where have all the changes gone or why no change has been applied even though I changed the code in models?

Everything was working fine, except that the changes in model and database were not reflected.

I contemplated a lot, then I realized that I should have cleared the cache of models.

So for that I deleted cache folder in /app/tmp/ and voila, everything worked fine. I had found the solution.

There is another trick [which actually does the same thing as above] for solving this problem :

> First change the debug level to 3 in your core.php file.
> Reload your application in browser.
> Change the debug level back to 0.

That’s it.

So remember, any time you add a new model or adjust your associations or make changes in structure of your database table, be sure to delete the cache folder from the /app/tmp/ folder.

How to implement RPX social in cakephp?

webdevbit — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 19:25:52 +0000

Whua there, I have appeared after 1 month with new post. I know, it’s been too long. But anyways, let’s start something new. I am here with little new topic, i.e. how to implement RPX social in cakephp.

What is RPX social?

RPX is a third party tool that allows users to log in to our site using other social site’s login details like Google, Yahoo, Facebook, twitter and more. RPX is now called Janrain. It provides different services like Social engage/login, social sharing, getting user profile data and invite friends. Janrain Engage helps connect your site to the social web through a robust set of APIs and social widget interfaces. Ultimately, a Janrain Engage solution accelerates your user registration and sign-in process by quickly and easily converting anonymous site visitors into active registered users. In addition, Janrain Engage enables you to import a rich set of profile data and social graphs from your users’ social networks allowing you to gain both deeper insight into your users, keep their profiles up to date, and transform your site into a more social destination. Please visit http://www.janrain.com/products/engage for more about RPX.
I have implemented Social login using RPX. So I am going to share how to implement it in your CakePHP application. So, here we go.

There are two methods to implement it.
1) iframe based
2) Popup based

I will start with implementing it iframe base.

Step 1:

Define constants in bootstrap file of your CakePHP application. You will find it /app/config/bootstrap.php

define('TOKEN_URL', urlencode(/* URL you want your token to be sent */));
/*
For e.g. define('TOKEN_URL', urlencode('http://localhost/project/users/login'));
*/
 
define('RPX_URL', 'http://webdevbit.rpxnow.com/openid/embed?token_url=');
define('RPX_KEY', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'); // Get your own RPX key from rpxnow.com

Here is few screenshots that will guide you to create RPX application and get RPX API key and more.

Creating your RPX application

Getting your RPX application URL and API key

Step 2:

Add following code to your .ctp file where you want the RPX login form.

&lt;iframe src="<?php echo RPX_URL.TOKEN_URL; ?>" scrolling="no" frameBorder="no" allowtransparency="true" style="width:400px;height:240px"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;

Above code will display RPX login form in specific .ctp file. It will look like this.

RPX login - webdevbit

That’s it. Now let us see, how to get data from RPX token.

Step 3:

RPX will redirect you to the TOKEN_URL that you have defined in bootstrap.php file. You can extract the profile data using that token. Here is how you can do it.
We have set token URL /users/login in bootstrap, so we will create login action in users_controller.php file.

function social_login($token = null) {
 
   if (isset($_POST['token'])) {
 
      $post_data = array('token' =&gt; $_POST['token'],
                         'apiKey' =&gt; RPX_KEY,
                         'format' =&gt; 'json');
 
      $curl = curl_init();
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://rpxnow.com/api/v2/auth_info');
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
      curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
      $raw_json = curl_exec($curl);
      curl_close($curl);
 
      $auth_info = json_decode($raw_json, true);
 
      if ($auth_info['stat'] == 'ok') {
          $profile = $auth_info['profile'];
          // You will get user's social profile information including email, full name, username, provider, photo url, etc.
          // You can use them to log user in or let him/her register in your site
      } else {
          // gracefully handle the error.  Hook this into your native error handling system.
          echo 'An error occured: ' . $auth_info['err']['msg'];
      }
   }
}

Now you are done with your RPX implementation.

update twitter status remotely using cakephp component

webdevbit — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 20:03:54 +0000

Twitter is widely used social site for marketing and publishing your thoughts and lots of more. Here I have script to login and update twitter status remotely. I have implemented it in my project as a component and want to share it with you.

So here we go for it.

/app/controllers/components/twitter_post.php


 
	class TwitterPost extends Object {
 
		function login_tweet($username, $password, $message, $response) {
 
			$error = 0;
			if (!isset($username) || !isset($password) || !isset($message) || !isset($response)) {
				$return "Missing parameter.";
			}
			$format = $response; //response can be json / xml
 
			/* work */
			$result = shell_exec('curl http://twitter.com/statuses/update.'.$format.' -u '.$username.':'.$password.' -d status="'.str_replace('"', '\"', $message).'"');
			return $result;
		}
	}
 
?>

Do not forget to add this component into your controller.

var $component = array('TwitterPost');

You can use this component in your controller like this.

function tweet() {
	.......
	.......
	$this->TwitterPost->login_tweet('tweet_account_name', '********', 'This is my first tweet. Thank you.', 'json');
	//$this->TwitterPost->login_tweet('tweet_account_name', '********', 'This is my first tweet. Thank you.', 'xml');
	.......
	.......
 }

cakephp session setflash with cool jquery effects

webdevbit — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 13:29:40 +0000

Hi there, I have something new for cakephp developers to customize their setflash messages. I can’t say it much different, but I have added some cool css and jquery effects to it. So it looks different then simple cakephp flash message. So let us start.

1. Add jquery file to your layout or view file. You can download it from here(http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.4.js).

2. Add below jQuery code into your layout file or create another separate javascript file for it.

// Location : /app/webroot/js/flash.js
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.cancel').click(function(){
        $(this).parent().parent().fadeOut();
    return false;
    });
});

3. Create separate element or layout for session setflash message. If you are using cakephp 1.2.6 or older version, then you will need to create layout for it. And if you are using cakephp 1.3.x, then you will need to create separate element file.

Here is the sample code.

// Location for cakephp 1.3.x : /app/views/elements/flash_good.ctp
// Location for cakephp 1.2.x : /app/views/layouts/flash_good.ctp
<div class="flash_good">
    <a class="cancel" href="javascript:void(0);"><img src="<?php echo SITE_URL.SITE_ROOT; ?>/img/delete.png" alt="Close" />a>div>

// Location for cakephp 1.3.x : /app/views/elements/flash_bad.ctp
// Location for cakephp 1.2.x : /app/views/layouts/flash_bad.ctp
<div class="flash_bad">
    <a class="cancel" href="javascript:void(0);"><img src="<?php echo /img/delete.png" alt="Close" />a>div>

4. Now it is time to play with some css. Add following css code to your layout or create separate css file for it.

/* Location : /app/webroot/css/flash.css */
.flash_good { background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #94DDF9; border:1px solid #69CFF6; float:left; margin:5px 10px; padding:3px; text-align:center; width:932px; border-radius:5px; behavior: url(border-radius.htc); -moz-border-radius: 5px; }
.flash_bad { background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FC7862; border:1px solid #ff0000; float:left; margin:5px 10px; padding:3px; text-align:center; width:932px; border-radius:5px; behavior: url(border-radius.htc); -moz-border-radius: 5px; }
.flash_good img { float:right; }
.flash_bad img { float:right; }

5. Here is sample to add css and javascript file to your code. Add it between head tags.

	echo $html->css('flash');
	echo $javascript->link('/js/jquery-1.4.4.js');
	echo $javascript->link('/js/flash.js');

6. Here I have sample code to use in your controller file.

function editprofile($username = null) {
 
	if (!empty($this->data)) {
		$save = $this->User->save($this->data['User']);
		if (!empty($save)) {
			$this->Session->setFlash('Your profile has been saved successfully.', 'flash_good');
			$this->redirect('/profile');
		} else {
			$this->Session->setFlash('An error occured!', 'flash_bad');
			$this->redirect('/profile');
		}
	}
}

So, that’s all. I am done with this. I hope it will be helpful to you all. Let me know your feedback or changes in this.

3 Idiots song for programmers

webdevbit — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 17:25:17 +0000

Hey friends, I got a song lyrics for programmers. It is very similar to very hit song of movie 3 Idiots – Give me some sunshine. One of my friend Rashmin Javiya has sent me this. Here it is. I hope you will enjoy that song.

Saari umr hum
coding main mar gaye
Ek pal to ab humein jeene do
jeene do
 
Saari umr hum
coding main mar gaye
Ek pal to ab humein jeene do
jeene do
 
Na na na….Na na na….Na na na….Na na nana na….
 
Give me some flight
Give me some train
Give me another chance
I wanna go home once again
 
Give me some flight
Give me some train
Give me another chance
I wanna go home once again
 
Kandhon ko laptop
Ke bojh ne jhukaya
 
Client se jhoot bolna tho khud
Manager ne sikhaya
 
C-3 ya D-3 rating laaoge to chhuti, varna kismat futi
Code kar kar ke pada Ungaliyon pe
JAVA, PHP aur PERL ka chaala
 
Is Project ne to sala poora..
Poora bheja pakka daala
 
Career to gaya
BF bhi gaya
Ek pal to ab humein
jeene do jeene do
 
Career to gaya
GF bhi gayi
Ek pal to ab humein
jeene do jeene do
 
Saari umru hum
coding main jee liye
Ek pal to ab humein jeene do
jeene do
Na na na….Na na na….Na na na….Na na nana na…
