Implementing some code - El Forum - 09-14-2007

[eluser]manilodisan[/eluser]
I'm trying to implement what seems to be a very good class but I'm having big troubles. The code is supposed to help me cache the pages better and have some sort of a better control over the headers and stuff. The problem is that I have to use the code right after an ob_start() which should sit after the opening php tag and call the class right before the closing php tag. This would have been very simple on a regular php file but, as you can surely imagine, it's a little complicated with our controllers and views.

Here's a sample usage of the code:
Code:
<?php
//------------Start of file---------------

ob_start();            // <==== line 1
include('Conteg.inc'); // <==== line 2

//the page ...

new Conteg();          // <==== line 3
//-------------End of file----------------
?&gt;

Also, here's a link to the original package (it's on phpclasses.org you will need some sort of credentials), PLUS the original support page for this class with more details.


I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Just curious why you don't use CI's caching? Caching is a pretty simple concept and one library isn't going to produce significant benefits over another.

Well...I needed something more advanced with a little more options (Etag, Pragma etc.) and this seems to be the one. I'm just testing new water, might or might not give better results.

Open up the Caching library, basically copy-paste that into a new library of your own, make your code changes to use your new Caching library (you will see where the native library makes it's appropriate function calls).

Well it's not that simple. I tried it with Output.php and Loader.php but it seems to fail at some point. On line 68 in Output.php (in CI's library folder) there's set_output() which seems to set the final output to be sent.

Code:
function set_output($output)
{
    $this->final_output = $output;
}


I tried working with that but I get errors of all types...

Experiment around line 172:

Code:
// Is compression requested?
if ($CFG->item('compress_output') === TRUE) {
    if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
        if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING']) AND strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip') !== FALSE) {
            ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
        }
    }
}

This is where CI is starting it's compression, which involves header changes - probably a good place for your to start modifying yours as well.

I have no idea why I thought Caching was an independent library... didn't have the code sitting in front of me. When you mentioned digging through Output and Loader I was like "wtf... I better look at what I am talking about"

Yes...Caching is not separate on CI and far from what I would like. I tried this for the function that you recommended but no response besides a blank page and even on error_reporting(E_ALL);.

Code:
function _display($output = '')
    {    
        // Note:  We use globals because we can't use $CI =& get_instance()
        // since this function is sometimes called by the caching mechanism,
        // which happens before the CI super object is available.
        global $BM, $CFG;
        
        // --------------------------------------------------------------------
        
        // Set the output data
        if ($output == '')
        {
            $output =& $this->final_output;
        }
        
        // --------------------------------------------------------------------
        
        // Do we need to write a cache file?
        if ($this->cache_expiration > 0)
        {
            $this->_write_cache($output);
        }
        
        // --------------------------------------------------------------------

        // Parse out the elapsed time and memory usage,
        // then swap the pseudo-variables with the data
                
        $elapsed = $BM->elapsed_time('total_execution_time_start', 'total_execution_time_end');        
        $output = str_replace('{elapsed_time}', $elapsed, $output);
        
        $memory     = ( ! function_exists('memory_get_usage')) ? '0' : round(memory_get_usage()/1024/1024, 2).'MB';
        $output = str_replace('{memory_usage}', $memory, $output);        

        // --------------------------------------------------------------------
        
        // Is compression requested?
        if ($CFG->item('compress_output') === TRUE)
        {
            if (extension_loaded('zlib'))
            {
                if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING']) AND strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip') !== FALSE)
                {
                    ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
                }
            }
        }
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
//                REQUIRE THE FILE THAT HOLDS THE CLASS
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
        require_once ( 'scripts/Cache.php' );
        // --------------------------------------------------------------------
        
        // Are there any server headers to send?
        if (count($this->headers) > 0)
        {
            foreach ($this->headers as $header)
            {
                @header($header);
            }
        }        

        // --------------------------------------------------------------------
        
        // Does the get_instance() function exist?
        // If not we know we are dealing with a cache file so we'll
        // simply echo out the data and exit.
        if ( ! function_exists('get_instance'))
        {
            echo $output;
            log_message('debug', "Final output sent to browser");
            log_message('debug', "Total execution time: ".$elapsed);
            return TRUE;
        }
    
        // --------------------------------------------------------------------

        // Grab the super object.  We'll need it in a moment...
        $CI =& get_instance();
        
        // Do we need to generate profile data?
        // If so, load the Profile class and run it.
        if ($this->enable_profiler == TRUE)
        {
            $CI->load->library('profiler');                
                                        
            // If the output data contains closing &lt;/body&gt; and &lt;/html&gt; tags
            // we will remove them and add them back after we insert the profile data
            if (preg_match("|&lt;/body&gt;.*?&lt;/html&gt;|is", $output))
            {
                $output  = preg_replace("|&lt;/body&gt;.*?&lt;/html&gt;|is", '', $output);
                $output .= $CI->profiler->run();
                $output .= '&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;';
            }
            else
            {
                $output .= $CI->profiler->run();
            }
        }
        
        // --------------------------------------------------------------------

        // Does the controller contain a function named _output()?
        // If so send the output there.  Otherwise, echo it.
        
        if (method_exists($CI, '_output'))
        {
            $CI->_output($output);
        }
        else
        {
            echo $output;  // Send it to the browser!
        }
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
//                CALL THE CACHING CLASS
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
        new Conteg();
        log_message('debug', "Final output sent to browser");
        log_message('debug', "Total execution time: ".$elapsed);        
    }

I'll have to come back to this one a bit later on when I can look through Conteg's documentation. Sorry I couldn't help you out quicker - this issue is going to be a bit more involved than I initially thought.

Hopefully someone else can come through and point you in the right direction.

Yep...I was hoping for someone from the team to look at this. I think I got it to stop the errors but fear that somewhere in the CI's engyne they get rewritten. My cache still expires in 1981 and that's not what I was hoping...I'm curious where do the headers get set.
