The old binary had some problems on ‘newer’ Ubuntu’s but was running perfectly on Snow Leopard / windows. The new jar version doesn’t run stand-alone, but hopefully Zend will add this option to the jar-package or maybe open-source the ZendCodeAnalyzer so that functionality is not lost…

    return array(

        'longitude' => $Longitude);
}

Input are the RD $x and $y coördinates. Output is an array with latitude & longitude

In the presentation, Alexander Rubin suggests using Sphinx search for doing the geo/spatial search. I found this the way to go, since I already use sphinx for full-text searching large text tables. Sphinx uses a magic function @geodist for calculation of points of interest (POI) within range. But setup of the source/index and use within PHP is not documented that well.

SO what do you need:

• Some database supported by Sphinx.
• Database filled with longitude / latitude data.

I assume you have a working copy of Sphinx installed and that the searchd listens to port 3312.

To let the Sphinx indexer do it’s magic create a new Sphinx source and index. Add the following code to your sphinx.conf

source geo
{
type                 = mysql
sql_host             = 127.0.0.1
sql_user             = sphinx_user
sql_pass             = sphinx_password
sql_db               = geo_database
sql_port             = 3306
sql_query_pre        = set names utf8
sql_query_pre        = set session query_cache_type=OFF

sql_query            = select id, radians(longitude) as longitude, radians(latitude) as latitude from locations

sql_attr_float       = longitude
sql_attr_float       = latitude

sql_ranged_throttle  = 0

sql_query_info       = select * from locations where id = $id
}

The above fragment creates the Sphinx source. It’s pretty self-explanatory. Adjust the settings to match your MySQL setup.
Note that the sql_query uses the radians function to convert degrees to radians. sql_attr_float tells Sphinx that the longitude/latitude are floats. THis is needed for the magic @geodist function. The sql_query_info is handy if you debugging on the command line.

Now for the Sphinx index.

index geo
{
source                  = geo
path                    = /var/lib/data/geo
docinfo                 = extern
mlock                   = 0
morphology              = none
min_word_len            = 1
charset_type            = utf-8
charset_table           = 0..9, A..Z->a..z, _, a..z, U+410..U+42F->U+430..U+44F, U+430..U+44F
ignore_chars            = U+00AD
html_strip              = 0
enable_star             = 0
}

Copy-paste this fragment to your sphinx.conf. Note that the source should be the set to your just-created source.

When the configuration is in place, build the index files:

indexer --rotate geo

If you create a new index the --rotate is optional, but is harmless. If you want to rebuild the index, the rotate option will send a SIGHUP to searchd, thus restarting the daemon.

With the geo-location data, in radians, in your sphinx index, we need to create a PHP script to get query the dataset.

This is not a full featured php file but only the code for connecting to searchd.

You need a copy of sphinxapi.php in your include_path. This is the PHP API class for Sphinx and is in the Sphinx distribution source file. Get a recent version, because there were some bugs using @geodist in older versions.

<?php
require_once 'sphinxapi.php';

$_longitude = $_GET['longitude'];
$_latitude = $_GET['latitude'];
$_radius = $_GET['radius'];

$search = new SphinxClient();
$search->SetServer("localhost", 3312);
$search->SetMatchMode(SPH_MATCH_ALL);
$search->SetArrayResult(true);
$search->SetLimits(0, 100);
$search->SetGeoAnchor('latitude', 'longitude', (float) deg2rad($_latitude), (float) deg2rad($_longitude));

$circle = (float) $_radius * 1.61;
$search->SetFilterFloatRange('@geodist', 0.0, $circle);

$result = $search->Query('', 'geo');
?>

Longitude and latitude is passed via GET.
$cl->SetLimits limits the result-set to 100.
$cl->SetGeoAnchor set’s the centre location.
Notice that the $_longitude & $_latitude is converted to radians.
$_radius is in meters.

Now apply a filter $cl->SetFilterFloatRange('@geodist', 0.0, $circle); call the @geodist method and only return POI’s within the range of 0 meters to $_range meters.

$result = $cl->Query('', 'geo'); Do the actual query in the geo source, and put the result in $result.

The result is an array, that easy…

Patch
[ZF-7946] – Zend_Db_Adapter_Oracle triggers E_NOTICE without oci extension

My setup is a Mac running 10.6.1 Snow Leopard running al the latest patches. I’m using Firefox 3.5.3 and my IDE is Zend Studio 7.0.2.

Start with installing Selenium. You can install it as a pear package. On snow leopard apple included the latest versions of php (5.3) and PEAR, so installation is easy. But make sure you have the latest version of PEAR, just to be sure….

sudo pear upgrade

Now install the Selenium PEAR package. As of now the package is still in beta, so we cannot do a pear install Testing_Selenium. We need to specify the version.

pear install channel://pear.php.net/Testing_Selenium-0.4.3

SeleniumRC is now installed. But we need to fix it. Selenium has some hardcoded files with references to Firefox 2. We need to change it to work with Firefox 3.5. Why do we need to change this? When selenium fire’s up the browser in a test case it will install a plug-in for the remote control. But the plug-in will not load because there is a browser version restriction. It will not load in version higher than 2.

First go to the folder where the selenium-server.jar is installed

cd /usr/lib/php/data/Testing_Selenium

There should be an selenium-server.jar in that folder. You can check with a list statement

ls

Now extract the files we need to change

jar xf selenium-server.jar customProfileDirCUSTFFCHROME/extensions/readystate@openqa.org/install.rdf
jar xf selenium-server.jar customProfileDirCUSTFFCHROME/extensions/{538F0036-F358-4f84-A764-89FB437166B4}/install.rdf
jar xf selenium-server.jar customProfileDirCUSTFFCHROME/extensions/\{503A0CD4-EDC8-489b-853B-19E0BAA8F0A4\}/install.rdf
jar xf selenium-server.jar customProfileDirCUSTFF/extensions/readystate\@openqa.org/install.rdf
jar xf selenium-server.jar customProfileDirCUSTFF/extensions/\{538F0036-F358-4f84-A764-89FB437166B4\}/install.rdf

Now replace all references to firefox 2.0.0.* to 3.5.*

sudo find . -name "*.rdf" -exec sed -i -e 's/<em:maxVersion>2.0<\/em:maxVersion>/<em:maxVersion>3.5.*<\/em:maxVersion>/' '{}' \;

This line will search all extracted rdf files and replaces the version numbers.

Now put the modified files back into the jar

jar uf selenium-server.jar customProfileDirCUSTFFCHROME/extensions/readystate@openqa.org/install.rdf
jar uf selenium-server.jar customProfileDirCUSTFFCHROME/extensions/{538F0036-F358-4f84-A764-89FB437166B4}/install.rdf
jar uf selenium-server.jar customProfileDirCUSTFFCHROME/extensions/\{503A0CD4-EDC8-489b-853B-19E0BAA8F0A4\}/install.rdf
jar uf selenium-server.jar customProfileDirCUSTFF/extensions/readystate\@openqa.org/install.rdf
jar uf selenium-server.jar customProfileDirCUSTFF/extensions/\{538F0036-F358-4f84-A764-89FB437166B4\}/install.rdf

OK, that’s selenium taking care of. Now start the server . Be sure you’re in the /usr/lib/php/data/Testing_Selenium directory

java -jar ./selenium-server.jar

It should display some INFO messages saying org.mortbay.util.Container start

Selenium is running but need to fix a firefox bug before we can do an actual test. Without this fix Firefox will crash when selenium is trying to start it. We need to remove a sqlite file. As a precaution we don’t remove it but rename it

sudo mv /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/libsqlite3.dylib /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/_libsqlite3.dylib

I don’t experience bugs in firefox after this renaming. But if you think firefox is unstable, in normal use, after renaming this file rename it back to it’s original name after you’re done testing.

Now we have to generate some tests. You can build you own tests using firefox and the SeleniumIDE, but that is pretty straight forward. In the IDE you can copy the PHP code to your phpUnit tests.

For now I prepared a simple test see the code. Make sure you have phpUnit in your library path. In  Zend Studio you can set this by altering the PHP include path in your project. If you don’t use Zend Studio you have to make sure you have phpUnit installed.

<?php

require_once 'PHPUnit/Extensions/SeleniumTestCase.php';

class Example extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase
{
  function setUp()
  {
    $this->setBrowser("*chrome");
    $this->setBrowserUrl("http://ikregeer.nl/");
  }

  function testMyTestCase()
  {
    $this->open("http://ikregeer.nl/");
    $this->click("link=Kamerstukken");
    $this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
    $this->click("link=Antwoorden");
    $this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
  }
}
?>

ikregeer.nl is a website I developed, and the tests just clicks on a few menu’s. The code is actualy copy-pasted from the SeleniumIDE, but with one minor but realy important fix.

For some reason the setBrowserUrl isn’t working correctly. To fix this you have to make sure the first call in the testMyTestCase function is $this->open(“http://yourwebsite.com/”); If you don’t do this the test will fail with a strange selenium proxy error. I have to check if this is due to the phpUnit implementation in Zend Studio or it’s a bug in the selenium-server.

You can now run your tests from Zend Studio and it will open a new firefox browser window and do the interface test. I made a small video to see it working
