			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If we want to import an associative array into current symbol table then we can use <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php" title="extract Function" target="_blank"><strong>extract</strong></a> function. This function treats associative array keys as variable name and values as variable values.  </p>
<p>But we can not use <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php" title="extract Function" target="_blank"><strong>extract</strong></a> function directly if we want to import class object properties into current symbol table in similar way. So, for this first we need to get the properties of object as an associated array. We can use <a href="http://in3.php.net/manual/en/function.get-object-vars.php" title="get_object_vars function"><strong>get_object_vars</strong></a> function for this purpose. <a href="http://in3.php.net/manual/en/function.get-object-vars.php" title="get_object_vars function"><strong>get_object_vars</strong></a> function take object as parameter and return associative array of all non-static properties of passed object. For any unassigned property it will return <em>NULL</em> value. </p>
<p>Now we can pass this returned associative array into <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php" title="extract Function" target="_blank"><strong>extract</strong></a> function to import objects non-static properties into current symbol table.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes in PHP we need to convert PHP object into XML string and vice versa. Conversion of XML string to PHP object is pretty simple. You just need to call <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-string.php" target="_blank"><strong>simplexml_load_string()</strong></a> function (available in PHP 5+) and need to pass your XML string. This will return the object which you can use. The only requirement is your XML string need to be well-formed XML string otherwise PHP will through <strong>E_WARNING</strong> error message.</p>
<p>Conversion of Object into XML string is little bit tricky. We need to recursively parse the Object and need to create XML tags for object attributes (keys). I&#8217;m using <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/book.xmlwriter.php" target="_blank"><strong>XmlWriter</strong></a> class for that purpose. Three important methods of this class which I&#8217;m using is <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xmlwriter-start-element.php" target="_blank"><strong>startElement()</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xmlwriter-end-element.php" target="_blank"><strong>endElement()</strong></a>, and <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xmlwriter-write-element.php" target="_blank"><strong>writeElement()</strong></a>. We need to check the passed mixed variable in getObject2XML() method and add the XML tags with values one by one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TinyURL </strong>is an awesome service. For those who don&#8217;t know what <strong>TinyURL </strong>is, <strong>TinyURL </strong>allows you to convert your long URLs like <strong>&#8220;http://www.akchauhan.com/category/jquery/&#8221;</strong> to small URLs like <strong>&#8220;http://tinyurl.com/yz4c4ba&#8221;</strong>. Basically you need such type of service when you are posting your data to some third party web service and there is limit on the number of characters you can post like <strong>Twitter</strong>. Twitter only allow 140 characters long Tweet.</p>
<p>Using the PHP and TinyURL API, you can create these tiny URLs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to schedule your PHP script or any other command on <strong>Windows Platform</strong> recursively after a fix interval of time then you can create a <strong>Windows Service</strong> for it. Windows service is very easy to create in Visual Studio.Net. I&#8217;m using <strong>C#</strong> language for this scheduler service you can also use <strong>VB.net</strong> for it. Basically we need this type of service if we want to execute some PHP script in background in a specific interval of time. For example, If you want to import data in bulk from some web service.</p>
<p>You need to follow these steps: -</p>
<ul>
<li>
Create a project by using the Windows Service application template. This template creates a class for you that inherits from ServiceBase and writes much of the basic service code, such as the code to start the service.</li>
<li>
Write the code for the OnStart and OnStop procedures, and override any other methods that you want to redefine.
</li>
<li>
Add the necessary installers for your service application. By default, a class that contains two or more installers is added to your application when you click the Add Installer link: one to install the process, and one for each associated service that your project contains.
</li>
<li>
Build your project.
</li>
<li>
Create a setup project to install your service, and then install it.
</li>
<li>
Access the Windows 2000 Services Control Manager and start your service.
</li>
</ul>
<p>For more detail check &#8220;<strong>Walkthrough: Creating a Windows Service Application in the Component Designer</strong>&#8221; topic in <strong>MSDN</strong>.</p>

<p>The <strong>task.bat</strong> file is a batch file. We are executing our PHP script through this batch file. First we set the path of directory where php.exe is located in your windows. The <strong>import.php</strong> is basically importing data in bulk from some web and we need to execute this script file background in every 3 minutes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post is the second part of <a href="http://www.akchauhan.com/create-drupal-form-using-theme_table-like-module-list-form/" target="_blank"><strong>Create Drupal form using theme_table() like module list form</strong></a> post. In first part I have showed how we can create Drupal form like we have in Module list pages. In this post, I am showing how we disable some of the checkboxes so user can&#8217;t select them like we have for core modules in module list page. We can&#8217;t enable/disable core modules in module list.<br />
<div id="attachment_453" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 860px"><img src="http://www.akchauhan.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/orders.jpg" alt="Drupal Form using theme_table() function (Part II)" title="Drupal Form using theme_table() function (Part II)" width="850" height="220" class="size-full wp-image-453" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Drupal Form using theme_table() function (Part II)</p></div></p>
<p>Here I am just showing the changes which we require in code of Part I post.</p>

        <span style="color: #0000ff;">'expand_checkboxes'</span><span style="color: #339933;">,</span>
        <span style="color: #0000ff;">'featured_disable'</span><span style="color: #339933;">,</span>
        <span style="color: #009900;">&#41;</span><span style="color: #339933;">,</span>

<span style="color: #009900;">&#41;</span><span style="color: #339933;">;</span></pre></div></div>

<p>In above code &#8220;<strong>$disabled</strong>&#8221; is an array containing the <strong>productid&#8217;s</strong> of all the products which we want to show as checked and in disable state. The structure of &#8220;<strong>$disabled</strong>&#8221; array is similar to <strong>&#8220;$status&#8221;</strong> array. We stored this array in <strong>&#8220;#disabled_products&#8221;</strong>. We also added <strong>&#8220;#process&#8221;</strong> in above code. </p>
<p><strong>&#8220;expand_checkboxes&#8221;</strong> and <strong>&#8220;featured_disable&#8221;</strong> are function names which Drupal call when create and render these checkboxes. <strong>&#8220;expand_checkboxes()&#8221;</strong> is defined in Drupal core files and we don&#8217;t need to define it again.</p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="php" style="font-family:monospace;"><span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">function</span> featured_disable<span style="color: #009900;">&#40;</span><span style="color: #000088;">$form</span><span style="color: #339933;">,</span> <span style="color: #000088;">$edit</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#41;</span> <span style="color: #009900;">&#123;</span>
  	<span style="color: #b1b100;">foreach</span> <span style="color: #009900;">&#40;</span><span style="color: #000088;">$form</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#91;</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">'#disabled_products'</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#93;</span> <span style="color: #b1b100;">as</span> <span style="color: #000088;">$key</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#41;</span> <span style="color: #009900;">&#123;</span>
  		<span style="color: #000088;">$form</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#91;</span><span style="color: #000088;">$key</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#93;</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#91;</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">'#attributes'</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#93;</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#91;</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">'disabled'</span><span style="color: #009900;">&#93;</span> <span style="color: #339933;">=</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">'disabled'</span><span style="color: #339933;">;</span>
  	<span style="color: #009900;">&#125;</span>
&nbsp;
  	<span style="color: #b1b100;">return</span> <span style="color: #000088;">$form</span><span style="color: #339933;">;</span>
<span style="color: #009900;">&#125;</span></pre></div></div>

<p><strong>&#8220;featured_disable()&#8221;</strong> function is very important here. Drupal call this function when renders these checkboxes. Here we assigned <strong>&#8220;disabled&#8221;</strong> attribute to each checkbox which we want as disable.</p>
