I am trying to list objects in a folder within a Google Cloud Storage bucket. I can get a result with 1000 objects easily (or increase the number if I want) using the following code:
$names = [];
$bucket = $client->bucket('mybucketname');
$options = ['prefix' => 'myfoldername', 'fields' =>' items/name,nextPageToken'];
$objects = $bucket->objects($options);
foreach ($objects as $object) {
$names[] = $object->name();
}
So far so good, but now I want to get the next 1000 objects (or whatever limit I set using maxResults and resultLimit) using the fact that I specified the nextPageToken object. I know that I have to do this by specifying pageToken as an option - it's just that I have no idea how.
I expect my final code will look something like this - what I need is the line of code which retrieves the next page token.
$names = [];
$bucket = $client->bucket('mybucketname');
$options = ['prefix' => 'myfoldername', 'fields' =>' items/name,nextPageToken'];
while(true) {
$objects = $bucket->objects($options);
foreach ($objects as $object) {
$names[] = $object->name();
}
$nextPageToken = $objects->getNextPageTokenSomehowOrOther(); // #todo Need help here!!!!!!!
if (empty($objects) || empty($nextPageToken)){
break;
}
$options['pageToken'] = $nextPageToken;
}
Any ideas?
The nextPageToken is the name of the last object of the first request encoded in Base64.
Here we have an example from the documentation:
{
"kind": "storage#objects",
"nextPageToken": "CgtzaGliYS0yLmpwZw==",
"items": [
objects Resource
…
]
}
If you decode the value "CgtzaGliYS0yLmpwZw==" this will reveal the value "shiba-2.jpg"
Here we have the definition of PageToken based on API documentation:
The pageToken is an encoded field that marks the name and generation of the last
object in the returned list. In a subsequent request using the pageToken, items
that come after the pageToken are shown (up to maxResults).

So I only want to get items from userSubscriptionLevel WHERE the id is anything but 4 or 6. What's the best way to give this exclusions?
function getUserLevelMapping() {
global $mysqli;
$userLevels = $mysqli->get('userSubscriptionLevel');
$userLevelMapping = array();
foreach($userLevels as $userLevel) {
$userLevelMapping[$userLevel['code']] = $userLevel['id'] ;
}
return $userLevelMapping;
}
Look at IN and NOT IN - both super useful methods for looking for (or excluding) specific records.
In your case, a NOT IN query is what you want, and it would look like so:
Select ... WHERE userSubscriptionLevel NOT IN(4, 6)
(query all records excluding userSubscriptionLevel that is 4 or 6)
Is it possible to validate a group of form textareas at once? I would like to check that at least 5 out of 15 text areas are notEmpty. Any suggestions on a method for doing this?
If you're going to down vote, explain why.
I've read http://book.cakephp.org/view/150/Custom-Validation-Rules#Adding-your-own-Validation-Methods-152 but it isn't clear to me how I would group multiple field items together and only check for a minimum of 5 notEmpty cases.
Edit: I'm using version 2.3.7
I don't really have any code to show because I'm just trying to do a data validation on a form with many textareas. My form isn't working right now due to other issues. If this was the only problem I could post all the code, but right now it would just confuse matters. I'm looking for a descriptive answer of how to validate a group of fields together.
Attach the validation rule to one textarea
You can do this by attaching the validation rule to any one of the text areas e.g.
class Foo extends AppModel {
public $validate = array(
'textarea_1' => array(
'atLeast5' => array(
'rule' => array('validate5Textareas'),
'message' => 'Please put text in at least 5 of the little boxes'
)
)
);
public function validate5Textareas() {
$filledTextAreas = 0;
// adapt this to match the names/logic of the real form
for ($i = 1; $i <= 15; $i++) {
if (!empty($this->data[$this->alias]['textarea_' . $i])) {
$filledTextAreas++;
}
}
return $filledTextAreas >= 5;
}
}
The $validate array defines a rule such that validate5Textareas is called if textarea_1 is in the data passed to save.
The function validate5Textareas will return true if 5 or more have text in them and false otherwise.
Can anyone tell me how to format the query below correctly in my controller.
Currently it gives me nothing in my FilteringSelect. However if I change it to >= I get back all the kennelIDs which is incorrect also but at least I'm getting something.
I've tested that the session variable is set and can confirm that there are kennels with the matching capacity.
// Create autocomplete selection for the service of this booking
public function servkennelAction()
{
$sessionKennelBooking = new Zend_Session_Namespace('sessionKennelBooking');
// disable layout and view rendering
$this->_helper->layout->disableLayout();
$this->getHelper('viewRenderer')->setNoRender(true);
// get list of grooming services for dogs from the table
$qry= Doctrine_Query::create()
->from('PetManager_Model_Kennels k');
//This should be set by default and narrows down the search criteria
if(isset($sessionKennelBooking->numPets)){
$b=(int)$sessionKennelBooking->numPets;
$qry->addWhere('k.capacity = ?','$b');
}
$result=$qry->fetchArray();
//generate and return JSON string using the primary key of the table
$data = new Zend_Dojo_Data('kennelID',$result);
echo $data->toJson();
}
Many thanks in Advance.

I think that addWhere condition is wrong. It has to be:
$qry->addWhere('k.capacity = ?', $b);
i.e. $b without quotes.

What is the best way to check if an object exists in the database from a performance point of view? I'm using Entity Framework 1.0 (ASP.NET 3.5 SP1).
If you don't want to execute SQL directly, the best way is to use Any(). This is because Any() will return as soon as it finds a match. Another option is Count(), but this might need to check every row before returning.
Here's an example of how to use it:
if (context.MyEntity.Any(o => o.Id == idToMatch))
{
// Match!
}
And in vb.net
If context.MyEntity.Any(function(o) o.Id = idToMatch) Then
' Match!
End If
From a performance point of view, I guess that a direct SQL query using the EXISTS command would be appropriate. See here for how to execute SQL directly in Entity Framework: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/gilf/archive/2009/11/25/execute-t-sql-statements-in-entity-framework-4.aspx
I had to manage a scenario where the percentage of duplicates being provided in the new data records was very high, and so many thousands of database calls were being made to check for duplicates (so the CPU sent a lot of time at 100%). In the end I decided to keep the last 100,000 records cached in memory. This way I could check for duplicates against the cached records which was extremely fast when compared to a LINQ query against the SQL database, and then write any genuinely new records to the database (as well as add them to the data cache, which I also sorted and trimmed to keep its length manageable).
Note that the raw data was a CSV file that contained many individual records that had to be parsed. The records in each consecutive file (which came at a rate of about 1 every 5 minutes) overlapped considerably, hence the high percentage of duplicates.
In short, if you have timestamped raw data coming in, pretty much in order, then using a memory cache might help with the record duplication check.
I know this is a very old thread but just incase someone like myself needs this solution but in VB.NET here's what I used base on the answers above.
Private Function ValidateUniquePayroll(PropertyToCheck As String) As Boolean
// Return true if Username is Unique
Dim rtnValue = False
Dim context = New CPMModel.CPMEntities
If (context.Employees.Any()) Then ' Check if there are "any" records in the Employee table
Dim employee = From c In context.Employees Select c.PayrollNumber ' Select just the PayrollNumber column to work with
For Each item As Object In employee ' Loop through each employee in the Employees entity
If (item = PropertyToCheck) Then ' Check if PayrollNumber in current row matches PropertyToCheck
// Found a match, throw exception and return False
rtnValue = False
Exit For
Else
// No matches, return True (Unique)
rtnValue = True
End If
Next
Else
// The is currently no employees in the person entity so return True (Unqiue)
rtnValue = True
End If
Return rtnValue
End Function
I had some trouble with this - my EntityKey consists of three properties (PK with 3 columns) and I didn't want to check each of the columns because that would be ugly.
I thought about a solution that works all time with all entities.
Another reason for this is I don't like to catch UpdateExceptions every time.
A little bit of Reflection is needed to get the values of the key properties.
The code is implemented as an extension to simplify the usage as:
context.EntityExists<MyEntityType>(item);
Have a look:
public static bool EntityExists<T>(this ObjectContext context, T entity)
where T : EntityObject
{
object value;
var entityKeyValues = new List<KeyValuePair<string, object>>();
var objectSet = context.CreateObjectSet<T>().EntitySet;
foreach (var member in objectSet.ElementType.KeyMembers)
{
var info = entity.GetType().GetProperty(member.Name);
var tempValue = info.GetValue(entity, null);
var pair = new KeyValuePair<string, object>(member.Name, tempValue);
entityKeyValues.Add(pair);
}
var key = new EntityKey(objectSet.EntityContainer.Name + "." + objectSet.Name, entityKeyValues);
if (context.TryGetObjectByKey(key, out value))
{
return value != null;
}
return false;
}
I just check if object is null , it works 100% for me
try
{
var ID = Convert.ToInt32(Request.Params["ID"]);
var Cert = (from cert in db.TblCompCertUploads where cert.CertID == ID select cert).FirstOrDefault();
if (Cert != null)
{
db.TblCompCertUploads.DeleteObject(Cert);
db.SaveChanges();
ViewBag.Msg = "Deleted Successfully";
}
else
{
ViewBag.Msg = "Not Found !!";
}
}
catch
{
ViewBag.Msg = "Something Went wrong";
}
Why not do it?
var result= ctx.table.Where(x => x.UserName == "Value").FirstOrDefault();
if(result?.field == value)
{
// Match!
}
Best way to do it
Regardless of what your object is and for what table in the database the only thing you need to have is the primary key in the object.
C# Code
var dbValue = EntityObject.Entry(obj).GetDatabaseValues();
if (dbValue == null)
{
Don't exist
}
VB.NET Code
Dim dbValue = EntityObject.Entry(obj).GetDatabaseValues()
If dbValue Is Nothing Then
Don't exist
End If
