I’ve been working on a YouTube ID parsing regex (because none of the available ones are complete) on RegExr.com and I found a pattern that works great. However, when the page first loads, it ALWAYS throws an error.

Exec Error: The expression took longer than 250ms to execute.

The pattern doesn’t take longer than 250ms though. If I make ANY edit to the pattern (e.g. add a space and then remove it), it runs quickly, and perfectly does what I need it to.

A couple of other weird things occur in the execution reporting though.

1. The UI says “41 matches (0.0ms)”. O.0ms?!
2. When I hover that same element, there is a message: “No matches found in 1609 characters”.

So, the pattern is effective, but something about it is really throwing the Regexr execution reporting. Any ideas? Is there something wrong with the pattern itself?

Here is the pattern:

/(?:https?://|//)?(?:www.|m.|music.)?(?:youtube.com|youtu.be){1}(/live/|/v/|/embed/|/watch?v=|/w+?v=|/)([w-]+)??.*/gi

Please see the linked page for the demo to see the functionality I described.

I’m setting up a reCaptcha for a client with an Enterprise Google Cloud account.
I used an API Key, which is the easiest based on my client files configuration.
Everything works well until I call the https://recaptchaenterprise.googleapis.com/v1/projects/ url.

I get this error as my curl response :

{
  "error": {
    "code": 403,
    "message": "Permission denied for: recaptchaenterprise.assessments.create. Please ensure you have sufficient permissions: https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/granting-changing-revoking-access",
    "status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"
  }
}

Here’s my code :

$verify_url = "https://recaptchaenterprise.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/assessments?key=API_KEY";
$data = [
    "event" => [
        'expectedAction' => 'CONTACT_FORM',
        "token" => $recaptcha_token,
        'siteKey' => $google_site_key
    ]
];

$ch = curl_init($verify_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: application/json']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));

$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$response_data = json_decode($response);

I tried setting up a Service Account with “reCAPTCHA Enterprise Agent”
access rights but nothing works (and I don’t understand how the API Key is supposed to be linked to the Service Account).
I removed all restrictions from the API Key to test but it does not work.

Im having some trouble getting my SATURDAY_DELIVERY tag to work.

I can get the Saturday delivery from the rates and quotes api, so I know the addresses I’m using allow Saturday delivery.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I keep getting the following error:

[{"code":"ORGORDEST.SPECIALSERVICES.NOTALLOWED","message":"This special service type is not allowed for the origin/destination pair. Please update and try again","parameterList":[{"key":"SPECIAL_SERVICE_TYPE","value":"SATURDAY_DELIVERY"}]}

I’m wondering if someone else has come across this – Am I doing something wrong here? Iv tried mutiple different payloads with different addresses, iv tried sandbox API, Prod API, tried real addresses, different pickupType, different packagingTypes etc..

Here’s my sample payload

I have a form in Laravel where I use Ajax to dynamically create options in the selects, based on previous filled information. I am very new to Ajax, so maybe I understand the concept wrong.

Below the first select, just based on a “regular” query.

<select id="selectCompany" name="companyId">
  @foreach($companies as $company)
     <option value="{{ $company->id }}">{{ $company->name }}</option>
  @endforeach
</select>

Based on the first selected value, I use Ajax to select options for the next selection field.

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('#step1').on('click', function (fetchLocations) {
    $.ajax({
      type: 'GET',
      url: '/get/info/',
      dataType: 'json',
      data: {
        companyId: $('#selectCompany option:selected').val()
      },
      success: function (response) {
        $('#selectLocations').empty();
        $.each(response.locations, function (key, value) {
          $('#selectLocations').append('<option value=' + key.id + '>' + value.title + '</option>');
        });
      },
      error: function (ts) {
        alert(ts.responseText);
      }
    });
  });

I add the options to the following select

<select id="selectLocations" name="locationId">
</select>

Now I want to submit the form via normal Laravel route, unfortunately the value send from the second select is “Undefined”. How can I fix this?

Laravel Request parameters:

My php application has used phpseclib 1.0 for years with php 7.x.
The server was just upgraded to php 8.2 and phpseclib 1.0 no longer works.
The server runs Oracle Linux 8 and does not have internet access so composer is out of the question.

Why can’t I just unzip the code I downloaded from github?

I’m building a Laravel application that aggregates news from multiple websites using DomCrawler. The system is scraping duplicate content where articles have the same meaning but different wording.

What I’ve tried:

• Basic cosine similarity with TF-IDF vectors
• Attempted using sentence-transformers (installation failed)
• Exact string matching with hashes

Current setup:

• Laravel 10
• PHP 8.2
• guzzlehttp/guzzle for HTTP requests
• symfony/dom-crawler for parsing

Error with sentence-transformers:

How can I implement effective semantic deduplication in a PHP/Laravel environment? Are there native PHP solutions or reliable API services for this purpose?

Locally working but on the hosting environment it’s not working or doesn’t even give error message no log on the console

Expecting for the code in the local to be working fine when run on hosting environment

I have a Model with a protected $withCount property, and it always gets into an infinite loop. If remove that property, the model will return data. The project I am working in has another Model using $withCount and it returns the child object count fine. I’ve combed through the working model and compared it with mine, and as far as I can tell I have set everything up correctly. Any idea (or hints to chase down) why this would always get an infinite loop?

<?php

namespace AppModels;


use DateTime;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentRelationsHasMany;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentRelationsBelongsTo;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentSoftDeletes;

/**
 * @property Team team
 * @property string name
 * @property string notes
 * @property HasMany<ShiftAssignment> shiftAssignments
 * @property DateTime created_at
 * @property DateTime modified_at
 * @property DateTime deleted_at
 *
 * @method static where(string $string, mixed $id)
 */
class Calendar extends Model
{
    use SoftDeletes;

    /**
     * @return BelongsTo<Team> Get the team for the Calendar
     */
    public function team(): BelongsTo {
        return $this->belongsTo(Team::class);
    }

    /**
     * @return HasMany Get all the relationships for the calendar.
     */
    public function shiftAssignments(): HasMany {
        return $this->hasMany(ShiftAssignment::class);
    }

    /**
     * If we want any relationship counts to be return automatically, add them here.
     */
    protected $withCount = [
        'shift_assignments'
    ];

    /**
     * Get the attributes that should be cast.
     *
     * @return array<string, string>
     */
    protected function casts(): array
    {
        return [
            'created_at' => 'datetime:Y-m-dTh:i:sZ',
            'modified_at' => 'datetime:Y-m-dTh:i:sZ',
            'deleted_at' => 'datetime:Y-m-dTh:i:sZ',
        ];
    }
}

These both produce an infinite loops:

Calendar::with('team_id', $team->id);
Calendar::all();

I’m sure there is an obvious explanation here, but I’m getting weirdly different responses when filtering collections.

    $c=Media::all()->collect();
    
    // first set of commands
    $filtered=Media::all()->filter(function($item,$k){ 
      return in_array("mp4",$item->extensions->toArray();
    })->count(); // 97
    $cFiltered=$c->filter(function($item,$k){
      return in_array("mp4",$item->extensions->toArray();
    })->count(); // 96    
    Media::all()->count()==$c->count(); // true
    $ct=Media::all()->count(); // 173

    // Now - additional weirdness
    // same commands but changed filtered variable name
    
    $newFiltered=Media::all()->filter(function($item,$k){ 
      return in_array("mp4",$item->extensions->toArray();
    })->count(); // 100
    $newCFiltered=$c->filter(function($item,$k){
      return in_array("mp4",$item->extensions->toArray();
    })->count(); // 83
    Media::all()->count()==$c->count(); // true
    Media::all()->count()==$ct; // true

These were run back to back with essentially no time passing. The only difference between the first set of results and the second set is that I changed the variable names.

I’m not a Laravel developer in general and I can’t make sense of this.
Can anyone explain what’s happening here?

note: This is Laravel 8 with php-7.4. I’m executing the code in the artisan tinker shell.

I want to get the ID of each HTML element after it has been displayed using queryselectorAll. It will enable me to provide other information about the particular item.

I am trying to make a cross-domain API request from https://andiamo.elenmorcreative.com to https://andiamo-backend.elenmorcreative.com.

I have configured Laravel and CORS correctly, but it always fails. To prove the problem is on the server, I created a simple public/test.php file that only contains the header(“Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://andiamo.elenmorcreative.com”);.

However, when I called test.php from the frontend domain, I still got a CORS error, which means the header was not sent. This proves there is something in the Nginx/aapanel configuration that is blocking it.

Here is my current Nginx configuration. Please help to find which setting might be causing this.
