Re: Container functions....

Mike,

developer_execute() { execute this code only }

declare it in an include file or something: <? developer_execute() { if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == "000.000.000.000") { echo "i've done something just for ip 000.000.000.000"; } else { echo ""; } } ?> execute it anywhere you like: <? developer_execute(); ?> So, the above will execute if your ip address is the same as the one in the function, which seems to be what you want, although I don't like the idea of code relying on an IP address because: - it might change - an ip can be spoofed Consider the following pseudo code: domain based as per my last email function local_only() { if(domain is LAN domain) { // do this } } or session based with a logged in user of the right clearance level function developer_only() { if($_SESSION['auth_level'] = 'developer') { // do this } } I just wouldn't rely on an IP of the remote user.

Justin: Not ColdFusion - ancient language by Brian Fox called MetaHTML - actually a VERY good language - just not supported or developed anymore as far as I can tell ;) Anyhow - that is one solution that I had not thought of - but ideally I would like to use a function rather than an IF statement - just the anal developer attutude that is in me ;) For instance, in an IF statement, is there a way to reference, or access the code/etc contained within the { } ? If there was, then this solution: developer_execute() { execute this code only } Where the function developer_execute would be defined as: function developer_execute() {

    if(getenv("REMOTE_ADDR")=="000.000.000.000") {
        %body
    }

} Would work - I am just hitting the wall as to how to reference the code between { and } represented in the function definition by %body Anybody? On 8/10/03 7:46 PM, "Justin French" <justin@indent.com.au> wrote:

Sounds like you're trying to replicated something in ColdFusion? I have a few blocks of code on my pages which are only executed on my development server, not the live server -- is this what you want? if(ereg("192.168.0.",$_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'])) { $local = 1; } else { $local = 0; } if($local) { // do whatever you want } Justin On Monday, August 11, 2003, at 12:50 AM, Mike Morton wrote:

In a language that I used to program in - for development we used to be able to make a function that basically just executed everything inbetween: <hidecode> Print "This is html printed" <some programming code> Print "this is more code"; </hidecode> So basically everything in between hidecode and /hidecode is executed the same as if the hide code did not exist - except that the hidecode container would be something like: Function hidecode() {

    if(getenv("remoteaddress")=="myaddress") {
        %s (all code contained within the tags)
    }

} So - the question is does PHP have some way that I cannot see to do this? I realize that I could create a function and pass everything in as an argument - but that would involve putting everything into variables, and overall being just a pain in the ass to add and remove the container. Is PHP too sophisticated a language to be able to do this easily and quickly? Or am I just missing some form of function that is totally obvious? Finally - yes, I know that I could slap an if tag around it - but that is also a big pain in the ass to add and remove each if tag when you go 'live' with the change, as opposed to a quick find and replace with a container function like this... TIA
