10.4. The Winestore Include Files

The winestore include files are shown in Example 10-6, Example 10-7, and Example 10-8. The db.inc include file in Example 10-6 and the error.inc include file in Example 10-8 are both included in the include.inc file in Example 10-7.

Example 10-6 shows the db.inc file that lists the DBMS credentials for connecting to the winestore database. The settings must be changed for a local installation of the winestore application.

Example 10-6. The db.inc include file

<?php
  $hostName = "localhost";
  $databaseName = "winestore";
  $username = "fred"; 
  $password = "shhh";
?>

The db.inc include file stores the DBMS and database credentials to access the online winestore. The hostName setting is the server name of the DBMS, the databaseName setting is the winestore database name, and the username and password are those used to access the MySQL DBMS. This file is identical to Example 4-7 and is discussed in Chapter 4.

The include.inc file shown in Example 10-7 stores the common function used throughout the winestore application.

Example 10-7. The include.inc file

<?php
   // This file contains functions used in more than
   // one script in the cart module

   include 'db.inc';
   include 'error.inc';

   // Untaint user data
   function clean($input, $maxlength)
   {
     $input = substr($input, 0, $maxlength);
     $input = EscapeShellCmd($input);
     return ($input);
   }

   function showVarieties($connection, $wineID)

The include.inc file shown in Example 10-7 contains the following functions that are used throughout the winestore application:

string clean(string input, integer maxlength)
Untaints a user-supplied input string by processing it with EscapeShellCmd( ) and takes a substring of length maxlength. Returns the untainted string. This function is discussed in Chapter 5.

void showVarieties(resource connection, int wineID)
Queries the winestore database through the DBMS connection resource. Prints the wine varieties associated with the wine identified by the wine_id wineID.

string showWine(int wineID, resource connection)
Queries the winestore database through the DBMS connection resource. Returns the year, winery name, wine details, and varieties of the wine identified by wineID. The function showVarieties( ) is called to output the varieties. If the connection resource is NULL, a new nonpersistent connection to the DBMS is opened and closed; this can be used to avoid having to lock the tables associated with a wine if the calling function requires locks for other operations.

void showPricing(resource connection, int wineID)
Queries the winestore database through the DBMS connection resource. Prints the price of the wine identified by wineID and the cost of a case of that wine where—for simplicity—a case of 12 bottles costs 12 times as much as 1 bottle.

void showCart(resource connection)
Produces a shopping cart icon that is an embedded link to the script cart.2. The icon is a rollover, in which JavaScript loads a highlighted cart image when the mouse is over the image. The script also queries the winestore database through the DBMS connection resource and sums the total number of items and the dollar value of the items in the user's shopping cart. These total values are reported next to the cart.

void showMessage( )
Reports any messages registered in the session variable message. If a message is displayed, the session variable message is unregistered so that a message appears only once.

void showLogin( )
Reports whether the user is logged in or not based on whether the loginUsername session variable is registered. If the user is logged in, the message includes the user's login name.

void loginButtons( )
Displays <form> buttons. If the user is logged in, the "logout" and "customer change details" buttons are shown. If the user isn't logged in, the "login" and "become a member" buttons are shown.

string getCustomerID(string loginUsername, resource connection)
Returns the cust_id associated with the user's email address or login name loginUsername. Queries the winestore database through the DBMS connection resource. If the connection resource is NULL, a new, nonpersistent connection to the DBMS is opened and closed; this can be used to avoid having to lock the tables associated with a wine if the calling function requires locks for other operations.

void selectDistinct (resource connection, string tableName, string columnName, string pulldownName, string additionalOption, string defaultValue)
Produces a drop-down list using the HTML <select> element. Values from the columnName attribute of the table tableName are used to populate the <select> element with the name pulldownName. The <option> defaultValue is shown selected, and an additional nondatabase value—such as All—can be added with the additionalOption parameter. This function is described in detail in Chapter 5.

10.4.1. Custom Error Handlers

A custom error handler is used in the winestore in preference to the built-in PHP error handler. Example 10-8 shows this handler incorporated in the include file error.inc.

Example 10-8. The error.inc custom error handler

<?
   // Trigger an error condition
   function showerror( )
   {
      if (mysql_errno() || mysql_error( ))
         trigger_error("MySQL error: " .
                        mysql_errno( ) .
                        " : " . mysql_error( ),
                        E_USER_ERROR);
      else
         trigger_error("Could not connect to DBMS",
                        E_USER_ERROR);
   }

   // Abort on error. Deletes session variables to leave
   // us in a clean state
   function errorHandler($errno, $errstr, 
                         $errfile, $errline)
   {
      switch ($errno)  
      {
         case E_USER_NOTICE:
         case E_USER_WARNING:
         case E_WARNING:
         case E_NOTICE:
         case E_CORE_WARNING:
         case E_CORE_NOTICE:
         case E_COMPILE_WARNING:
            break;
         case E_USER_ERROR:
         case E_ERROR:
         case E_PARSE:
         case E_CORE_ERROR:
         case E_COMPILE_ERROR:
            session_start( );

            if (session_is_registered("message"))
               session_unregister("message");

            if (session_is_registered("order_no"))
               session_unregister("order_no");

            $errorString = 
  "Winestore system error: $errstr (# $errno).<br>\n" .
  "Please report the following to the administrator:<br>\n" . "Error in line $errline of file $errfile.<br>\n";

            // Send the error to the administrator by email
            error_log($errorString, 1, "hugh");
?>
<h2>Hugh and Dave's Online wines is temporarily unavailable</h2>
The following has been reported to the administrator:
<br><b><font color="red"><?=$errorString;?></b></font>
<?php
            // Stop the system
            die( );

         default:
            break;
      }
   }
?>

At the beginning of each script in the winestore application, the handler is registered:

set_error_handler("errorHandler");

After this registration, any error, warning, or notice encountered in the script will cause the function errorHandler( ) to be called.

The function set_error_handler( ) has the following prototype:

string set_error_handler(string error_handler)

On success, the function returns the previously defined error handler function name as a string. The parameter error_handler is the name of the user-defined handler function, in our example errorHandler. The returned value can be used later to restore the previous error handler with set_error_handler( ).

PHP requires that the user-defined errorHandler( ) function have at least two parameters: an error number and an error string. Three additional optional parameters can be included in a custom error handler: the script file that caused the error, the line number with the error, and additional variable context information. Our handler supports the first two of the three optional parameters.

Eight different errors, warnings, and notices can be generated by PHP during script processing or during the precompilation process, generated by the PHP script engine itself, or triggered manually by the developer. Our errorHandler( ) function ignores all notices and warnings by returning if the error number errno parameter falls into the WARNING or NOTICE classes. However, for all errors in the ERROR class and for PARSE errors, our custom error handler carries out several actions:

  1. It logs out the user and deletes any registered session messages.

  2. It creates a string that incorporates details of the error.

  3. It emails the error message to the system administrator—in this case to the email account hugh—using the PHP library error_log( ) function.

  4. It outputs the error message to the browser.

The advantage of a custom error handler is that additional features, such as deleting session variables, closing database connections, and sending email messages, can be incorporated in the error process.

The error_log( ) function has the following prototype:

int error_log (string message, int message_type [, string destination [, string extra_headers]])

The string message is the error message to be logged. The message_type can be 0, 1, or 3. A setting of 0 sends the message to the PHP system error logger, which is configured using the error_log directive in the php.ini file. A setting of 1 sends an email to the destination email address using the mail( ) function with any additional email extra_headers that are provided; the mail( ) function and the use of extra headers is discussed in Chapter 12. A setting of 3 appends the message to the file destination. A setting of 2 isn't available in PHP4.

The showerror( ) function is also part of error.inc. This function is called whenever a MySQL function fails throughout the winestore scripts. The function tests if mysql_error( ) or mysql_errno( ) return nonzero values and, if so, it triggers a user-generated error using the trigger_error( ) PHP library function:

void trigger_error (string error_message [, int error_type])

The trigger_error( ) function has two parameters: an error_message—which is created using the return values of the MySQL error functions—and an optional error_type that's set to E_USER_ERROR. If MySQL hasn't reported an error, the mysql_connect( ) or mysql_pconnect( ) functions have failed, and a message indicating this is manually created. The result of calling trigger_error( ) is that the PHP script engine calls our custom registered handler, errorHandler( ).
