Undefined offset error

usit · March 6, 2013, 8:52pm

RIGHT ON w@tt! You hit the nail on the head. The index and offset errors are thrown when the script has …

include_once ($_SERVER{‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’} . ‘/…/SMTP4PHP.php’);

After giving up on ever getting phpmailer to work again I switched to this smpt mailer. With your suggestion, I searched for exception_error and found this …

L.33. Searching on ‘ion_er’;
function exception_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline, $errcontext )
{ throw new ErrorException($errstr, $errno, 0, $errfile, $errline); }

also this …

L.36. set_error_handler(“exception_error_handler”);

Then searching on erro found three more relevant references …

Searching on ‘erro’
if($expectedResponse && (!preg_match(’/^’.$expectedResponse.’/S’, $smtpResponse)))
{ throw new Exception(‘Unexpected SMTP error! (SMTP command: "’.trim($smtpCommand).’" SMTP response: “’.$smtpResponse.’”)’,(preg_match(’/^(\d{3})/mSU’,$smtpResponse,$m) && is_array($m) && isset($m[0]))?($m[0]):(NULL)); }
if(empty($this->smtpConnect)) { throw new Exception(‘SMTP connection error!’.($errstr)?(’ (’.$errstr.’)’):(’’)); }
if(!stream_socket_enable_crypto($this->smtpConnect, true, STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT)) { throw new Exception(‘Unexpected TLS encryption error!’); }

It appears, to my untrained eyes, that the exceptions of concern are related to smtp commands, connections, or encryption. I have no idea how the errors (in my main script) could be associated with these smtp issues. The errors occur in the following line of my main:

$kvp = preg_split ("/[\s,]+/", $buffer);     
$a["$kvp[1]"] = $kvp[3] . " " . $kvp[4] . " " . $kvp[5] . " " . $kvp[6] . " " . $kvp[7] . " " . $kvp[8];

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks for getting me over this huge bump in the road.

The error is not related to the SMTP class but it does explain why you are getting an uncaught exception.

set_error_handler(“exception_error_handler”)

Is setting the error handler function for the entire script. That’s why later on you get an ErrorException thrown for an undefined offset.

Your problem is still the same, $kvp[5] is undefined (most likely 6, 7 and 8 are also undefined).

Did you var_dump($kvp) and verify that there are more than 4?

Hi, w@att.
Can’t do a var_dump when stopped by a FATAL error – script doesn’t compile. So did the following:

Reduced the test file, RGSTRTN_06_testA.php, to just enough code to capture the error. (Changed $buffer to $a.)
Put in var_dump($a) following the stuffing of $a with the country code $key, $value pairs, from kvpisow2.txt and before
while ($a = fgets($fh))
{
$kvp = preg_split ("/[\s,]+/", $a); // Split a on any combination of spaces or commas.
$a["$kvp[1]"] = $kvp[3] . " " . $kvp[4] . " " . $kvp[5] . " " . $kvp[6] . " " . $kvp[7] . " " ##ERROR HERE
. $kvp[8];
}
Ran this and get …

fclose ($fh);

//------------------------------------- end of RGSTRTN_06_testA.php ------------------------
[/php]

*One thing (of several) I don’t get is after defining a()=array, var_dump claims that $a() is a string?
*I have thought all along that the latter parts of $kvp[5] only get initialized with real bytes when the country has a long multipart name. This was always satisfactory with PHP4.
I could probably put in a ternary conditional for each $kvp[], that tests for being initialized and sets it to null if not. Would this still throw an error?

Thanks much for your continued interest.

You are continuously overwriting $a. It can’t be your line buffer and your results array.

What happens when you run this code:

[php]

<?php echo 'L.3 RGSTRTN_06_tstA.php ' . date('l dS \of F Y h:i:s A ' . '

'); include_once ($_SERVER{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'} . '/.../SMTP4PHP.php'); $results = array(); try { $fh = @fopen($_SERVER{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'} . '/.../kvpisow2.txt', "r"); if ($fh) { while(($buffer = fgets($fh, 4096)) !== false) { $kvp = preg_split ("/[\s,]+/", $buffer); $results[$kvp[1]] = $kvp[3] . " " . $kvp[4] . " " . $kvp[5] . " " . $kvp[6] . " " . $kvp[7] . " " . $kvp[8]; } fclose($fh); } } catch(Exception $e) { exit('Exception caught: ' . $e->getMessage()); } var_dump($results); ?>

Key US Value United States

So if you split this on \s, this gives you an array with only 4 results, right? If there are only 4 results then why are you expecting 5, 6, 7, 8?

Some countries have that many parts; e.g.,

m11 · March 8, 2013, 2:47am

Ok so you don’t actually know the number of keys correct?

I’m not sure if it’s even necessary to use preg_split I think you could probably preg_match what you need. However… what if you did something like this instead.

[php]
while(($buffer = fgets($fh, 4096)) !== false) {
$kvp = preg_split ("/[\s,]+/", $buffer);
$index = array_shift($kvp); // shift the first element to use as array index
$results[$index] = implode(" ", $kvp); // implode remaining elements
}

w@tt,
I hope these posts are understandable. I’ve yet to master this entry system using this live input window. It quickly becomes unstable and I can’t keep up with what needs editing. So I’ve resorted to doing everything in WORD and then transferring the whole thing into the live window. That leaves the problem of findinding the script and enclosing it in tags.

m11 · March 8, 2013, 8:11pm

Just read the error it tells you what the problem is.

include_once(/.../SMTP4PHP.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

So the SMTP4PHP.php file is missing. Did you use a different directory this time?

The kvpisow2.txt file is likely also missing that’s why you get fgets errors. If you kept the if ($fh) you wouldn’t get these but it still wouldn’t work.

usit · March 8, 2013, 9:47pm

Yes, I saw the error and immediately kicked myself. The file called, STP4PHP.php, is used in smtp calls but now in this snippet.
I really apologize for sending it to you the last post with the unnecessary line of code.

I was testing your code in a small segment of the main and it seemed to work. So I went back to the main and substituted your code for the part not working. I put in on the line above a line that should have been commented out. It wasn’t in the tests because I was comparing the difference w/ and w/o that line. Hence, mia culpa again! And again I’m sorry for this oversight and its nuisance.

I’ve gone ahead and inserted your code in the main to see what happens. Unfortunately, the main now fails before getting to this repaired segment. The failure is the same as it was two weeks ago …

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘ErrorException’ with message ‘Undefined index: invoiceNo’ in /home/…/RGSTRTN_06.php:97 Stack trace: #0 /home/…/RGSTRTN_06.php(97): exception_error_handler(8, ‘Undefined index…’, ‘/home/vg011web0…’, 97, Array) #1 {main} thrown in /home/v…/RGSTRTN_06.php on line 97

I’m back to work on that error now to see if I’ve learned enough to solve it myself. Should I close this thread or wait to see if this error becomes intractable for me and I have to ask for help again?

Your expertise is greatly appreciated.

(Must have pushed wrong button and lost my reply window. Here goes again.)

Question for w@tt:

In your script fgets() puts the correct array into $buffer but skips the first entry (key US value United States). I don’t understand why. It doesn’t throw an error. The remainder of the array is reconstructed in the next two commands but, again, w/o the first entry.

[php]while(($buffer = fgets($fh, 4096)) !== false) {
$kvp = preg_split ("/[\s,]+/", $buffer);
$index = array_shift($kvp); // shift the first element to use as array index
$results[$index] = implode(" ", $kvp); // implode remaining elements}
[/php]
