Part 2. http://www.symfonylab.com/cleanup-my-drafts-part-2/ http://www.symfonylab.com/cleanup-my-drafts-part-2/#comments Sat, 15 Mar 2008 20:22:11 +0000 admin http://www.symfonylab.com/cleanup-my-drafts-part-2/ This time my drafts cleanup is not directly related to symfony but these are the classes which I’m sure you will use for your symfony projects:

htmlSQL is a experimental PHP class which allows you to access HTML values by an SQL like syntax. This means that you don’t have to write complex functions (regular expressions) to extract specific values. The htmlSQL queries look like this:

http://www.jonasjohn.de/lab/htmlsql.htm

Technically it’s class to query the web by an SQL like language. I guess this can be used together with Lime or SimpleTest (depends on which one you like the best) for units testing or for fetching web pages.

Phptrackback - a simple, portable PHP class with full TrackBack capabilites. Ping trackback URIs, receive trackbacks from other clients and seed pages for auto-discovery. The class also extract links from a given string and search these links for trackback URIs:

http://phptrackback.sourceforge.net/

You may want to use this class together with sfSimpleBlogPlugin or the other project with similar functionality.

The other interesting thing is Apache’s module Mod_Auth_External:

I bookmarked this page because of I thought this can be used as authentification mechanism for multiple symfony projects where I dont want to use sfGuardPlugin but only shared auth handler.

Somehow I had a problem with performing propel-build-all. I had a few schema.yml files and building process was going fine for them except last one schema. It did not create a table for that schema.yml and reported about mysql error (cant create a table). I think I killed about an hour trying to fix yml file (I thought that’s the problem with tabs or syntax in yml). And finally I figured out I had to take a look into mysql error log. And here is what I have found out there:

080223 16:17:48 InnoDB: Error: table `dbname/tablename` already exists in InnoDB internal
InnoDB: data dictionary. Have you deleted the .frm file
InnoDB: and not used DROP TABLE? Have you used DROP DATABASE
InnoDB: for InnoDB tables in MySQL version <= 3.23.43?
InnoDB: See the Restrictions section of the InnoDB manual.
InnoDB: You can drop the orphaned table inside InnoDB by
InnoDB: creating an InnoDB table with the same name in another
InnoDB: database and copying the .frm file to the current database.
InnoDB: Then MySQL thinks the table exists, and DROP TABLE will
InnoDB: succeed.
InnoDB: You can look for further help from
InnoDB: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/InnoDB_troubleshooting_datadict.html

So it turned out I had broken tablename.frm file and when I overwritten it with anothertablename.frm it started it work.
Maybe when you’ll get into such problem you wont kill your time because of this article :-)
